<br /> <br />Senate Bill 1059 <br />Originally, SB 1059 (attached) was almost unanimously opposed by all stakeholders as it lacked any <br />resemblance to the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Task Force’s report (attached) presented to the <br />Legislature the first week of the 2010 Special Session. After several long meetings with stakeholders, <br />several amendments were crafted, each showing vast improvement to the original version of the bill. <br />The final version of SB 1059, which was a drastic improvement over the original version, directs the <br />OTC to adopt a statewide transportation strategy on GHG emissions to aid in achieving emission <br />reduction goals and to report back to the Legislature in 2011. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY VALUES <br />City of Eugene Value # 2: Sustainable Government <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />This is a work session only, to update the Mayor and City Council about the actions taken by the Oregon <br />State Legislature and the Greenhouse Gas Task Force since the 2009 Legislative Session.
