Costa DATE: May 24, 2005 -- County 'a'covK'�'•; SUBJECT: Climate Control SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION ACKNOWLEDGE,that growing scientific evidence has opined that climate change as a result of human activity is a critical environmental problem; ACKNOWLEDGE,that Contra Costa County has been a national leader in implementing progressive, effective, and efficient programs to protect public health and our environment; ACKNOWLEDGE that the California Air Resources Board passed unanimously, at the direction of the State Legislature and Governors Davis and Schwarzenegger,the world's most aggressive requirements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; REQUEST that a working group be created to report back to the board on possible actions to be taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The working group would be comprised of the heads of the Departments of General Services, Community Development, Public Works, and Health, as well as representatives from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the California Air Resources Board. The working group will report back to the Internal Operations Committee within 6 months on possible actions to be taken. Supervisor DeSaulnier's office will coordinate the formation of the working group. DIRECT this working group to evaluate consolidating the existing county policies in regards to green fleets, SUVs, ZEVs, and green buildings; REQUEST that Supervisor DeSaulnier and Uilkema(as board representatives to the BAAQMD) collaborate with city representatives Mark Ross and Mike Shimansky on ways to incorporate climate control measures within cities. RECOMMEND the County Administrator and the Retirement Board establish environmentally responsible investment policies with regard to climate control and report back to the Internal Operations and Finance Committees. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact. BACKGROUND Climate change is a growing global problem with local implications. Many environmental experts at the California Air Resource Board believe the Delta will be among the first places to be impacted by global warming. Our state has taken the first step in implementing policies to reduce greenhouse gases. It is time for Contra Costa County to look at ways we can lessen our contribution to this alarming trend.

Chair Uilkema invited the public to speak. There was no comment from the public. Supervisor DeSaulnier cited reports of the National Academy of Science that indicate there is growing evidence that fossil fuel use is affecting the climate, and affecting public health. He noted that the County has already made efforts to reduce greenhouse gas through policies such as the clean fuels,clean cars,and green buildings programs. He said he hopes to form a working group,as defined in the Resolution,to define best practices,outlining the pros and cons of climate control as well as the short term and long term effects,and to look at how, in the long term,these policies and practices could save the County money. He proposed the working group come back in six months with a list of best practices and fiscal impacts. He suggested that as part of the report back to the Board,the County would join with the other "Cities for Climate Protection,"an International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives(ICLEI) program to engage cities,towns, and counties in reducing pollution that causes global warming. Chair Uilkema suggested doing an inventory to show what has already been implemented,and to show which policies or programs the County may need to augment. She said that this information would enable the working group to be very focused. Supervisor DeSaulnier responded that Chair Uilkema's suggestion is already included in the Board Order recommendations, but that her suggestion to develop an inventory could be done immediately and presented to the Board in a report within two months. Supervisor Gioia proposed changing the seventh bullet point on the Board order to read: RECOMMEND the County Administrator and the Retirement Board explore establishina environmentally responsible investment policies with regard to climate control consistent with the primaa objectives of maximizing;investment rates of return and minimizing risk, and report back to the Internal Operations and Finance Committees. By unanimous approval,the Board of Supervisors: ADOPTED Resolution No. 2005/303 to form a working group to establish policies to be implemented by Contra Costa County to reduce greenhouse gas emissions;DIRECTED the new working group to produce an inventory listing of the County's current policies and programs that reduce greenhouse gas,or that could be augmented to reduce greenhouse gas,and to bring this report back to the Board of Supervisors at its July 26, 2005 meeting;AMENDED the language of the Resolution to read(amended language underlined): "RECOMMEND the County Administrator and the Retirement Board explore establishiniz environmentally responsible investment policies with regard to climate control consistent with the primary objectives of maximizing investment rates of return and minimizing risk, and report back to the Internal Operations and Finance Committees."

GE SAULNIER N r. 5 O n •N, * ,Assembly Bill 1493(Pavley) BACKGROU N DER The Greenhouse Effect And California Simply put,the greenhouse effect compares the earth and the atmosphere surrounding it to a greenhouse with glass panes. plants in a greenhouse thrive because the glass panes Deep the air inside at a fairly even temperature day and night, and throughout the lour seasons of the year. Just as the glass lets heat from sunlight in and reduces the heat escaping,greenhouse gases and some particles in the atmosphere keep the Earth at a relatively even temperature. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide,methane, and nitrous oxide in our atmosphere keep the Earth's average surface temperature close to a hospitable 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth.would be a frozen globe,with an average temperature of about 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Most life as we know it would.cease. 'Thus,the naturally occurring greenhouse effect is beneficial,creating a pleasant,livable environment on the Earth.Natural levels of greenhouse gases have changed in the past. However since the start of the industrial revolution,the rate of increase has accelerated markedly because of the use of machines powered by fossil fuels like coal and oil. 'Where appears to be a close relationship between the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and global temperatures. The burning of fossil fuels produces large amounts of carbon dioxide as well as other pollutants. Many of these pollutants absorb infrared energy that would othen�•ise escape from the Earth. As the infrared energy is absorbed,the air surrounding the earth is heated.An overall warming trend has been recorded since the late 19th century, with the most rapid warar in.g occurring over the past two decades. The 10 warmest year, of the last century all occurred within the last 15 years.It appears that the decade of the 1990s was the warmest in human history,and preliminary information is pointing to 2002 possibly being the warmest year on record. Global warming is chan.g.ing the Earth's climate. While the evidence for climate change is overwhelming, it is impossible to predict exactly how it will affect Califotnia's ecosystems and economy in the future. There are,many areas of concern. As the average temperature of the Earth increases,weather is affected. Rainfall patterns change. Droughts and flashfloods are likely to become more frequent and intense.Mountain snowcaps will continue to shrink. Climate change and the resulting rise in sea level are likely to increase the threat to buildings, roads,powerlines, etc.Agricultural patterns will change as crops and productivity shift along with the climate change.Physical changes such as these impact California's public health,economy and ecology. 46 We can expect to see worsening air quality, an increase in the number of weather-related deaths,and a possible increase in infectious diseases. Higher temperatures contribute to increased smog,which is damaging to plants and humans. Climate change also affects forests in ways that increase fire hazards and make forests more susceptible to pests and diseases, California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Beard i � n n r. i i I I . 11 ;' I + '� P��1 SUPERVISOR'.

Assembly Bill 1493 (Pavley)pg. 2 One area of considerable concern is the effect of climate change on California's water supply.During the winter,high in.the Sierra Nevada, snow accumulates in a deep pack, preserving much of California's water supply in"cold storage" for the hot,dry summer.If winter temperatures are warmer however,more precipitation will Fall as rain, decreasing the size of the snowpack.Heavier rainfall in the winter could bring increased flooding.Less spring runoff from a smaller snowpack will reduce the amount of water available for hydroelectric power production and agricultural'irrigation. Evidence of this problem already exists.Throughout the 20th century, annual April to July spring runoff in the Sierra Nevada has been decreasing,with water runoff declining by about ten percent over the Last 100 years. Another predicted outcome of climate change,a rise in sea level, is already being seen in California,with a 3-8 inch rise in the last century.This can lead to serious Consequences for the large populations living along California's coast. Sea level rise and storm surges can lead to flooding of low-lying property, loss of coastal wetlands,erosion of cliffs and beaches,saltwater contamination of drinking water,and damage to roads and bridges_ Higher temperatures also cause an increase in harmful air emissions--more fuel evaporates, engines work harder,and demands for electric power increase along with an increase in power plant air pollution.Air pollution is also made worse by increases in natural hydrocarbon emissions from vegetation during hot weather.High temperatures,strong sunlight,and a stable air mass are ideal for formation of ground-level ozone,the most health-damaging constituent of smog.As the temperature rises and air quality diminishes,heat related health problems also increase. While carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas emitted in the largest quantity,other greenhouse gases such as methane,nitrous oxide,and hydro-fluorocarbons also contribute to climate change. Many greenhouse gases have lifetimes of decades or even centuries in the atmosphere,so the problem cannot be eliminated quickly. Thus,the problems we are experiencing today do not accurately represent the full effects we may see years from now based on current levels of greenhouse gases. The united States has the highest emissions of greenhouse gases of any nation on Earth. In California, more than half of the fossil fuel,emissions of carbon dioxide are related in some way to transportation.Fossil Fuel combustion accounts for 98 percent of carbon dioxide emissions. To lessen the State's contribution to climate change,California needs to start now-to develop integrated strategies that will reduce traffic congestion, criteria air pollutants,and emissions of greenhouse gases from mobile sources.To leam more about greenhouse gases and climate change,access-the A, 's Internet site on these subjects at www.arb.ca.gov.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1493, Pavley. vehicular emissions : greenhouse gases. (1) Existing law establishes the California Climate Action Registry, and requires the registry to perform various functions relating to the provision of technical assistance for emissions reductions, including maintaining a record of certified greenhouse gas emission baselines and emission results. Existing law requires these .records to be available to the public, except for any portion, deemed confidential by a participant in the registry. Existing law., the California Public Records Act, provides that all public records, as defined, are open to inspection at all times during the office hours of a state or local agency and any person has a right to inspect any public record, except. as specifically provided in the act. This bill would revise the exception applicable to records maintained by the registry to make those records available to the public, except that portion of the data or information exempt from disclosure pursuant to the act. The bill would require the registry, in consultation with the State Air Resources Board, to adopt procedures and protocols for the reporting and certification of reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from mobile sources for use by the state board in granting the emission reduction credits. (2) Existing law requires the state board to endeavor to achieve the maximum degree of emission reductions poseible from vehicular and other mobile sources in order to accomplish the attainment of the state standards at the earliest practicable date. This bill would .require the state board to develop and adopt, by January 1, 2005, regulations that achieve the maximum feasible reduction of greenhouse gases emitted by passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks and any other vehicles determined by the state board to be vehicles whose primary use is noncommercial personal transportation in the state. The bill would prohibit those regulations from taking effect prior to January 1, 2006, in order to give the Legislature time ..to review the regulations and determine whether further legislation should be enacted prior to the effective date of the regulations. Under the bill, the regulations would apply only to a. motor vehicle manufactured in the 2009 mode l year, or any h"4&//www.IeR'Info.ca.Rov/t)ub,/01-02/bill/asrn/ab 1451-1500/ab 1493 bill 20020722 cha... 5/17/2005 M a Y 19 . 4 4 A rdl _ C1Q U P E F''',I I S 0 F' M, F K G E ,,U L H I E R PJU 6 �i pa F' - of 6 model year thereafter. The bill would require the regulations to provide flexibility, to the maximum extent feasible, in the means by which a person may comply with those regulations, including, but not limited to, authorization for a person to use alternative methods of compliance with the regulations. The bill would prohibit the state board from imposing a mandatory trip reduction measure or land use restriction in providing that compliance flexibility. The bill would prohibit the state board, in adopting the regulations, from requiring the imposition of additional fees and taxes on any motor vehicle, fuel, or vehicle miles traveled; a ban on the gale of any vehicle category, a reduction in vehicle weight; a limitation on, or reduction of, the speed limit on any street or highway in the state; or a limitation on, or reduction of, vehicle miles traveled. The bill would declare that the provisions of the bill prohibiting the state board from imposing additional fees or taxes on any motor vehicle, fuel, or vehicle miles traveled, or to limit or reduce the speed limit on any street or highway in the state to be declaratory of existing law. The bill would require the state :board to ensure that any alternative methods of compliance achieve equivalent or greater reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases as the regulations. The bill would also require the state board to conduct public workshops regarding the regulations in specified communities with the most significant exposure to air contaminants. The bill would also require the state board to grant emission reduction credits for reductions of greenhouse gag emissions achieved prior to the operative date of the regulations, utilizing the 2000 model year as the baseline for calculating those reductions. The bill would require the state board to include an exemption in those regulations for vehicles subject to specified exhaust, emission. standards. The bill would authorize the state board to elect not to adopt a standard for a greenhouse gas, if the state board determines that the federal government has adopted a standard regulating that greenhouse gas, and the state board snakes specified findings related to the similarity of the f-ederal standard. The bill would also require the state board, by January 1, 2005, to provide a report to the Legislature on the contents of those regulations. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS SECTION 1. The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following: (a) Global warming is a matter of increasing Concern for public health and the environment is the state.

CCP Methodology: AM Conduct a local emissions inventory of greenhouse gas emissions 40 Adopt an.ernissions, reduction target Identify local actions that achieve the target Implement action plan policies and actions Quantify and report benefits created and monitor results 156 cities, towns, and counties in the United Stales and over 600 communities worldwide participate in the Cities for Climate Protection Campaign. There are 27 California CCP local governments with 19 in the Bay Area. Every year, actions taken by US CCP local govenunents cut 23 million tons of global warming pollution and cut $600 million from energy and fuel costs for local cominunities. CCP Participating Local Governments * Cut global warming pollution, cut traffic congestion, save tax dollars, clean the air, and improve quality of life for people. * Have access to a national and worldwide network of local governments that act to protect the ate C14 through innovat 0 lin ive and proven proj*ects 4 1CLE1 4 Provides case studies,., training workshops,publications and other networking opportunities. * Provides tools and technical assistance and connects jurisdictions with state, regional and federal goven=ent and other resources.
