Update on climate action activities, includina a review of emission data post Mid American and
UI investments and state law limitations on certain actions
Sustainability Services Coordinator Nations presented a power point on the Climate Action activities
and emission data. City Attorney Dilkes provided information regarding the state law limitations for
building requirements. Individual Council members expressed their views.
Action:
• Staff will work with Council member Thomas to develop a draft resolution declaring a climate crisis
and adopting the revised Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) standards. The
resolution will be presented for Council review at the July 16 work session.
• No action will be taken on the possible recommendation from the Climate Action Advisory Board to
move to a formal City Commission until their written recommendation is received. If this is received
in the next week, staff will add it to the July 16 work session.
• Staff will develop some possible tools that could be used to incentivize building improvements that
reduce our community emissions. Those can be reviewed and discussed in upcoming budget
deliberations planned for August.
Clarification of Agenda Items
• [7.h]... Fred Meyer: Robert A. Lee Cherry Tree Council member Thomas asked for support to
revisit where the bicycle parking should go so that the community garden would not be impacted.
Individual Council members expressed their views. City Manager Fruin provided additional
information.
Action: The cherry tree at the corner of Gilbert and College near the RAL Recreation Center will
remain. Transportation Services staff will look for other alternative locations for expanded bike
parking that do not necessitate the removal of any green space.
