Carolyn Scofield Location: Submitted At: 1:22pm 08-10-20 1 support the Chula Vista Multifamily and Commercial Benchmarking Ordinance. We can make significant reductions in our City's GHG emissions through energy efficiency measures in our commercial and multi-family residential buildings. These improvements can also lead to lowered energy use and costs as well as improved indoor air quality. Jason Anderson Location: Submitted At: 11:05am 08-10-20 Cleantech San Diego supports the City of Chula Vista's Draft Multifamily and Commercial Benchmarking Ordinance. The ordinance will not only benefit the environment but support the region's cleantech economy through energy efficiency related jobs. r � , , .

Rita Clement Location:91914, CHULA VISTA Submitted At: 3:56pm 08-07-20 Good evening Sustainability Commissioners, My name is Rita Clement and I'm a resident of District 1 in Chula Vista. I'm here to support the application for the City of Chula Vista to join the Green New Deal Alliance. We will need every resource available to recover from the COVID-19 crisis and the Green New Deal Alliance holds the promise of being able to work together with all people in our recovery efforts. The Climate Crisis is here and we cannot wait to take action. We need a plan that focuses on the communities most impacted. These are our frontline communities, Black, Indigenous and communities of color. I strongly encourage our Sustainability Commissioners to vote yes to join the Green New Deal Alliance and to send this on to our city Council Members for approval. ,,,,..,,,ii, ,, �;;. „.. r.: r^fir° r71 rr,,. r I�,� ",r,,,. j fl ',' O r ,f ,,��I �r /Cw��.u��,� IfP,�:u�� .�®r�Il�pp��lppu�r�ta�IloU,�� Ilr�,ll �� III,I�II��//II IIDII��116//��IIII�,�II� '�II” /� 11611/��11 11��116116//��II��.

This coming Wednesday, August 12th, the same Senate Committee will vote again. California doctors, including doctors from San Diego County state that, in their clinical practices, they see that living near oil and gas drilling is dangerous for health. The evidence shows that living in close proximity to oil and gas drilling is associated with asthma, premature birth, birth defects, and cancer. They also state that people who live in communities with more air pollution are more likely to die from COVID-19. As frontline health voices, doctors are speaking out to our State Senators. To join our local doctors and climate advocates in support of AB 345, please contact Senator Hueso and the California Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Water by tomorrow, Tuesday, August 11. Senator Ben Hueso https:Hsd40.senate.ca.gov The California Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Water https:Hsntr.senate.ca.gov Rita Clement Location:91914, CHULA VISTA Submitted At: 8:04pm 08-08-20 Senator Ben Hueso State Capitol Room 4035 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Senator Hueso, The United States green economy has expanded so much during the past several years that it now employs about 10 times the number of people employed in the fossil fuel industry. The green industry is said to be worth a whopping $1.3 trillion - 7% of the gross national product in the United States. In light of the above statistics, it's paramount that political leaders both today and in the future recognize the green tech industry for the economic value it offers. Only then will they take the necessary steps to make sure that the existing green economy flourishes for the benefit of both modern workers and the earth itself for years to come. As a constituent, I am deeply concerned and disappointed that you voted no on AB 345 even though the 2500 foot setback provision was eliminated at your insistence during the amendment process. Please explain the criteria you used to arrive at your decision to vote no. We request you reconsider your vote on Wednesday, August 12, 2020. We also strongly suggest you consider the support your constituents have given this environmental justice legislation and vote aye.
