As a member of the CCWG, EHC joined the group in taking our responsibility seriously in coming up with measures that will ensure that Chula Vista will get back on track to meeting its greenhouse gas reduction goals. These recommendations are a culmination of months of passionate debate, careful deliberation, and careful research and we are extremely proud to be part of this process. We would also like to thank your staff for their excellent work in this effort. Since more than half of Chula Vista's carbon emissions come from energy generation, a large portion of these recommendations are focused on energy. The recommendation regarding green building, as proposed by the CCWG, is especially crucial in order to lower carbon emissions and reduce the community's energy demand. According to US Department of Energy numbers, over 75% of power plant-generated electricity goes to the operation of buildings. Furthermore, the experience with the previous Carbon Reduction Plan illustrates that for reductions to take place; measures must cover the entire city, be comprehensive in scope, and require specific action. Thus, the city must pass mandatory and citywide standards to ensure that emissions begin to decrease, not continue to increase as occurred following the passage of the first carbon reduction plan. The final set of recommendations present the city of Chula Vista with an extraordinary opportunity to cement its position as a leader in fighting global warming and join a growing and distinguished list of cities that have proven that environmental sustainability and economic growth are complementary values. However, it should noted that the City should not stop here and that these recommendations are simply a start. We encourage to city to continue to evaluate reasonable, effective measures to secure even more reductions. One measure that has been raised by our members is to expand the city's program to provide energy efficiency retrofits in old buildings and in low income areas. We have a serious challenge ahead of us, but we know we are up to the task. By passing these measures, Chula Vista is back on course to meeting its goal of decreasing its carbon emissions to 20% below 1990 levels. We look forward to passage of these measures and to begin the process of implementation. We thank you for your vision and leadership. Thank You ,.-::;n~ ''-- ~ \Leo~s, - --...

City looks at green building standards Mandate would be a first in the county By Tanya Mannes STAFF WRITER March 28, 2008 CHULA VISTA - Hoping to do its part in reducing global warming, the city of Chula Vista is considering mandatory "green" building standards for new homes and businesses. Chula Vista would be the first city in the county to formally adopt green building standards for private development. In a recent general plan update, San Diego pledged to adopt green building standards, but has not yet done so. "It's a huge deal," said Michael Meacham, Chula Vista's conservation director. "There are certain things that we have the ability to control at the local level, and one of them is land " use. The City Council will vote Tuesday on whether to adopt the building standards, as well as other recommendations to reduce the city's greenhouse gas emissions. The proposal was developed during the past year by the city's Climate Change Working Group, a commission led by resident Richard Chavez. Under the plan, projects would meet internationally recognized standards known as LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Buildings would have to be designed for energy-and water-efficiency, and would have to incorporate recycled or renewable materials, among other criteria. Chula Vista Mayor Cheryl Cox said yesterday that she hadn't seen the commission's recommendations. "We have to take action," Cox said. "The carbon-reduction notion, the conserving water, the using energy wisely - I think they're all important for the city." In California, green building standards have been established in Pasadena, Palm Desert, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara and West Hollywood, as well as Marin County. Los Angeles and San Francisco are developing standards but haven't adopted them as laws. Other U.S. jurisdictions with green building standards include Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Austin, Texas, and Washington, D.C. Climate scientist Richard Somerville, a professor emeritus at UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, said Chula Vista's proposal is a positive step. "It sets a standard, it paves a way, it provides a good example and I think it's consciousness raising," Somerville said. "People who question it now might later be glad that it happened as the price offossil fuel keeps increasing." In 2000, the Chula Vista City Council voted to approve an aggressive approach to reducing its carbon footprint. The city pledged to reduce carbon emissions to 80 percent of its 1990 levels within 10 years. Last year, the city established a Climate Change Working Group to ensure those targets are met. After considering hundreds of ideas, the lO-member commission recommended the adoption of green building standards, along with six other measures. "We've looked at what other cities have done, and that's how we came up with these recommendations," said Leo Miras of the Environmental Health Coalition, who served on the commission. Miras said ideas were evaluated for their low cost, effectiveness within a short time-frame and measurability of results. For the past two decades, Chula Vista has sought to be an environmental leader through its involvement with the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives. Councilman Steve Castaneda has been the city's delegate to the group since he took office in 2004. In 1997, Councilman Jerry Rindone traveled to Japan to attend the signing of the Kyoto Protocol, which sought to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. The U.S. government has refused to sign the pledge, although more than 170 other countries have. Despite the federal government's position, Rindone and other municipal representatives made written pledges to reduce carbon emissions in their cities. ''I'm very proud of that because a little over a decade later we are making progress," Rindone said. "This is something we must do for our children and our grandchildren." Castaneda directed the work of the Climate Change Working Group. "The city has made a huge effort to try to reduce energy consumption in city consumption, city equipment and city activities," Castaneda said. "Now we're looking at the city as a whole, trying to understand from a policy standpoint how to help the community and businesses reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas .. " emiSSIOns. The commission's recommendations include: .Requiring all businesses to have an energy audit every three years. .Facilitating "smart growth" around the H Street, E Street and Palomar Street trolley stations. oCoordinating with the local water authorities to convert grass lawns to water-saving rock and shrub landscapes. .Requiring that the city fleet be 100 percent hybrid or alternative-fuel vehicles. .Encouraging city contractors to use hybrid vehicles. .Developing a solar energy program to help residents and businesses install photovoltaic systems. Green Buildings May Be Cheapest Way to Slow Global Warming By building green--and retrofitting existing buildings-- the countries of North America could cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 25 percent By David Biello, Scientific American North American homes, offices and other buildings contribute an estimated 2.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere every year-more than one third of the continent's greenhouse gas pollution output. Simply constructing more energy-efficient buildings-and upgrading the insulation and windows in the existing ones-could save a whopping 1. 7 billion tons annually, says a new report from the Montreal-based Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC), an international organization established by Canada, Mexico and the U.S. under the North American Free Trade Agreement to address continent-wide environmental issues. "This is the cheapest, quickest, most significant way to make a dent in greenhouse gas emissions," says Jonathan Westeinde, chief executive of green developer Windmill Development Group in Ottawa, Ontario, and chair of the CEC report (who admits that green building regulations would be good for his business). But "buildings are not on the radar of any governments... despite being an industry that represents 35 percent of greenhouse gas elnissions." The report echoes the findings last year of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which identified building improvements as one way to reduce global warming pollution with "net economic benefit." "Residential is a slam-dunk, it's just a matter of applying the technology we have," says IPCC author Mark Levine, a senior staff scientist at Lawrenc.e Berkeley National Laboratory in California who studies these issues. "It's the biggest sector. It's the biggest savings. " Yet, "green buildings"-defined by the report as "environmentally preferable practices and materials in the design, location, construction, operation and disposal ofbuildings"- represents only 2 percent ofthe commercial edifices in the U.S. and 0.3 percent of new homes. "In Europe, they are much ahead of us on building," Westeinde says. "As North Americans we pride ourselves on smaller government and bigger activity in the marketplace. We're not seeing the market react fast enough." A big part of the problem, he says, is that many builders are loath to invest extra money for more efficient energv and water svstems that only translate into cost savings for the eventual owners. Westeinde's company gets around this dilemma by working out long- term financing arrangements with owners, who agree share a portion of their future cost savings with the developer. He notes, too, that the price gap between energy-efficient and conventional construction might eventually disappear as green buildings become more common. "If everyone is using a certain type of window that drives cost down," Westeinde says. "Green construction is only 4 percent of the market which means the other 96 percent are creating a volume discount for themselves. But if green becomes 50 percent of the industry, that cost differential goes away." The report calls for the Canadian, Mexican and U.S. governments to set specific targets for green buildings as well as to adopt continental standards, such as siting buildings in a way that maximizes passive solar heating and cooling. "There is not that great a difference between green building in Oaxaca and Ohio," says Evan Lloyd, CEC director of programs. "It is the best systems and technology that can be applied to reduce energy consumption as well as paying attention to resource inputs." http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm ?id=green-buildings-mav-be-cheapest-wav-to-slow- global-warming Scientific American magazine has come out with a list of the 50 greenest cities in America, but San Diego didn't make the cut. However, 14 California cities, the most of any state, dominated the list, published in last month's edition. San Francisco ranked second with 23 points; Oakland, fourth, 22.5 points; Berkeley, seventh, 22.2 points; Sunnyvale, 13th, 19.9 points; Irvine, 21 st, 18.1 points; Santa Rosa, 23rd, 17.2 points; Riverside, 28th, 16 points; Pasadena, 37th, 13.2 points; Norwalk, 38th, 13 points; Concord, 43rd, 11.9 points; Fremont, 44th, 11.3 points; San Bernardino, 47th, 10.2 points; Thousand Oaks, 48th, 10.2 points; and Stockton, 49th, 10.1 points. Drawing on data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Geographic Society's Green Guide, the magazine awarded a maximum of 30 points in four categories - electricity from renewable resources; transportation based on commuting patterns by public transit and air quality levels; green living, based on the number of green buildings certified by the U.S. Green Building Council; and recycling and how comprehensive a city's collection is. Portland, Ore., ranked first with 23.1 points. "America's top green city has it all," the magazine said. "Half its power comes from renewable sources, a quarter of the work force commutes by bike, car pool or public transportation, and it has 35 buildings certified by the U.S. Green Building Council." Details on the magazine's "PopSci Index" are available at popsci.com/environment. Look for "America's Greenest Cities." .~ ~ . ~ San Diego Chapter .. P.O.

Mail March 25, 2008 Mayor Cheryl Cox and City Councilmembers City ofChula Vista 276 Fourth Avenue Chula Vista, CA 91910 RE: SUPPORT Adoption of Climate Change Working Group recommendations on the Carbon Reduction Plan update. Dear Mayor and Councilmembers: The San Diego Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation is writing to express our support for and urge the city council to adopt the Climate Change Working Group's recommendations for the Chula Vista Carbon Reduction Plan update. These recommendations are necessary for Chula Vista to meet the emission reductions in accordance with goals adopted in the city's original Carbon Reduction Plan. It is important for Chula Vista to take meaningful actions at this point. In 2000, the city took an important step and adopted a goal of reducing carbon emissions by 20% (to 1990 levels) by 2010. The city held itself to a high standard of action and emissions attributable to city buildings and operations went down 18%. Unfortunately, emissions from the private sector (where the plan relied exclusively on vol\!lltary actions) emissions went up 35%. Another troubling trend is that, since 1990, commercial sector emissions in Chula Vista are up 211 % and can be expected to continue this path if actions are not required. These facts demonstrate that to be effective measures to reduce emissions must be mandatory and must be applied citywide. The thoughtful, well-researched, and strong recommendations by the working group are the best way the city can meet its own carbon reduction targets. The green building standards section of these recommendations, in particular, are crucial given the fact that a majority of the city's greenhouse gas emissions come from the operation of buildings. Strong citywide green building requirements with a focus on maximizing energy efficiency are especially important if the city is to meet its emission reduction goals and to ensure the timely removal of the aging South Bay Power Plant. Ultimately, any strategy to remove the old plant, and make sure it is not replaced by another large plant on the bayfront, must include citywide and comprehensive green building requirements.

We have reviewed the recommendations of the Climate Change Working Group and offer the following comments and recommendations. Chula Vista is one of many jurisdictions seeking to understand the complexities that encompass the climate change issue. Multiple State and federal efforts are underway to craft regulations that responsibly and fairly respond to the concerns raised by climate change proponents. Sacramento is proceeding with the implementation of Assembly Bill 32 that mandates a reduction of carbon emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020. This represents a 20% reduction in green house gasses. The department of Housing and community development is crafting residential green building standards with the goal of efficient, uniformed standards. The California Energy Standards, set to take place in June 2009 will be 20% more stringent the current residential energy standards. Both the California Building Industry Association and the National Association of Homebuilders have crafted green building guidelines that meet or exceed the more recognized Leed building standards. California already leads the nation in home energy efficiency. Under the rules set forth by Title 24, homes constructed today are 33% more energy efficient than any other homes in the nation. . BUilDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY , While the goal of maximizing the energy efficiency of new homes is noble, similar attention must be paid to improving the energy efficiency of the thousands of older, less energy efficient homes that comprise the majority of Chula Vista homes. The BIA requests that the city fully explore these efforts in order to craft requirements that are in sync with state and federal objectives. While there are multiple opinions on I _", ~"_._~ climate change, there is unanimity that the regulatory response should be fair and onsistent statewide.

Adopting all of these proposals with the change recommended by staff for number two-to make it mandatory-would be a very positive step toward reducing the carbon footprint of this city. It is regrettable that the city relied upon encouragement for so many years resulting in a 35% increase in C~, but it is time to change the situation. Recently construction debris recycling was made mandatory, acknowledging the ineffectiveness of encouragement. After allowing the construction of 29, 138 homes encouragement only provided 3,143 Energy Star homes. An extremely poor 10.7% is simply not adequate to meet Kyoto reductions. Initiating these standards now may be too late for 2010, but they will get us there sometime in the future. The membership of SWCVCA did have a few concerns. When retrofitting of existing buildings starts our members want to be sure that the owners of these buildings are involved early in the process, have a significant role in the implementation and the city finds a way to pay for what is needed without burdening private property owners. There is also a fairly unanimous agreement that before existing residents and businesses are required to cut back on water use building moratoriums must be instituted. It simply is unfair to expect existing users to cut back significantly to allow more users to move in. New building should only be allowed to the extent that new water sources are found, and they must bear the most stringent restrictions. /- eresa Acerro President The Southwest Chula Vista Civic Association was formed to provide a structured association for the residents, property owners, and business owners of the underrepresented Southwestern region of Chula Vista, to participate in the preservation, planning, development and protection of the unique character of the area through community education and group action.

Dear Mayor and Council Members: California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE) is writing to express our support for and urge the city council to adopt the Climate Change Worlcing Group's recommendations for the Chula Vista Carbon Reduction Plan update. These recommendations are necessary for Chula Vista meet the emission reductions in accordance with goals adopted in the city's original Carbon Reduction Plan. These recommendations are consistent with CCSE's mission to foster public policies and provide programs, services, information and forums that facilitate the adoption of clean, reliable, renewable, sustainable, and efficient energy technologies and practices. As energy and sustainability gain ground as issues of societal importance, the time is now for Chula Vista to take bold measures in furthering these same objectives. Since passing their first set of carbon reduction measures, heavily reliant on encouraging voluntary action, the city's overall emissions increased by 35%. Furthermore, since 1990, Chula Vista's commercial sector emissions rose over 200010, signaling that unless changes are made the city's carbon emissions will continue to grow exponentially. The thoughtful, well. researched, and strong recommendations by the worlcing group are the best way the city can meet its own carbon reduction targets and make great strides in promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy development in the region. The green building standards section of these recommendations, in particular, are crucial given the fact that a majority of the city's greenhouse gas emissions come from the operation of buildings. Strong citywide green building requirements with a focus on maximizing energy efficiency are especially important if the city is to meet its emission reduction goals, and establish a long-term sustainable energy plan. Finally, by adopting these measures the city will be joining the distinguished company of a growing number of cities throughout the country that are recognizing that citywide green building requirements are necessary for building healthy communities. The recommendations of the Climate Change Working Group will help the city meet its important and laudable goal of 20% below] 990 levels by 20] 0, and we urge their adoption.

Chula Vista has an impressive history when it comes to strategic planning for energy sources and consumption reduction. I have followed Chula Vista's work on climate change since the early 1990s when the city participated in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol Conference, and was glad to see that Chula Vista was the first local government with under one million residents to become a founding member of the International Council for Local Government Initiatives and its Cities for Climate Protection campaign. Your support of the landmark California Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32) and efforts to reduce local emissions to pre-1990 levels set an example for local governments. . At the same time that the city experienced tremendous growth that led to increases in greenhouse gas emissions, steps were also successful in reducing per capita emissions and avoiding new sources. The work of the Climate Change Working Group established by the city has resulted in a set of recommendations to assist Chula Vista in meeting its 2010 greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal. The recommendations by the Climate Change Working Group, along with the suggested implementation strategy included in the staff report, establish a clear method by which Chula Vista can meet its goal of reducing emissions by 2010: . Require that 100% of replacement vehicles purchased for the municipal fleet be high efficiency (hybrid) or alternative fuel vehicles, with the staff recommendation that the use of alternative fuels, hybrids and electric vehicles be tested and phased in for .- \'''1 .

Encourage City-contracted fleet operators to adopt the use of high efficiency/Alternative Fuel Vehicles, with the staff recommendation that this be required when it can be demonstrated that they are operationally practical and technically feasible. . Facilitate smart growth around the H Street, E Street and Palomar Street Trolley Stations. . Adopt community-wide green building standards that are comprehensive in coverage and mandatory. New structures will be required to be built to LEED Silver or to an equivalent third party certification green building program, with the effect of having an energy efficiency impact of at least twenty-percent over Title 24. Staff is recommending that this policy be implemented via a phased and tiered approach, with the option to provide additional incentives to those builders who exceed the city's green building standards. . Require City of Chula Vista-licensed businesses to participate in an energy audit of their physical premises every three to four years and upon change of ownership, with the recommendation that businesses occupying newly constructed or remodeled facilities that meet the green building standards (above) be granted a three-year exemption; and an annual exemption for those businesses registering with the California Climate Action Registry's GHG emissions reporting process. . Facilitate widespread installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on commercial, residential and municipal facilities by developing and implementing a solar energy conversion program. Proactively enforce existing codes requiring pre-plumbing for solar hot water. Staff recommends that this policy also include an energy conservation component. . Coordinate with the Otay Water District, San Diego County Water Authority and the Sweetwater Authority to convert turf lawns to xeriscape. Converting lawns to water- wise landscaping has been shown to reduce outdoor residential water use by forty- percent. Staff recommends that this policy be expanded to include a comprehensive water conservation strategy that could include mandatory toilet retrofits, commercial garbage disposal prohibitions and additional new construction and landscaping requirements. Fax s..nt by, : ~1It.1'4f SEH CHRISTIHE KEHOE 1'14-1'11-1'18 16:1'19 Pg: 4/4 In adopting these recommendations, Chula Vista would provide a strong example of leadership at the local level just as the State Legislature, California Public Utilities Commission, California Air Resources Board and California Energy Commission work to implement strategies to comply with the AS 32 requirements. I encourage your support. Sincerely, ~~ CHRISTINE KEHOE Senator, 39th District cc: Councilmember Steve Castaneda Councilmember John McCann Councilmember Rudy Ramirez Councilmember Jerry Rindone CK:ds Making a Strategic Commitment to a Stable, Clean Energy Supply What technology is adding the most new, zero-emissions electricity to U.S. supply today? If you answered wind power, you are right. Wind power is now a mainstream option for electricity generation, an essential element of the solution to climate change and a cost-effec- tive, domestic power source for our economy. The U.S. wind power industry shattered all previous records in 2007, with 45% growth and over 5,200 megawatts installed. That new capacity will generate 16 billion kilowatt- hours (kWh) of clean, cost-effective electric- ity in 2008 -equivalent to powering more than 1.5 million American homes. No other technology is installing zero-emissions power generation on such a scale today. In fact wind power is now one of the largest sources of new electricity generation of any kind. Wind projects accounted for about 30% of all new power generating capacity added in the U.S. in 2007.

Despite tremendous progress, wind power's future remains uncertain, as shown by the installed capacity graph (below, left). Unsta- ble lederal policy (that is, the expiration and extension cycles of the federal production tax credit, the primary incentive for wind power today) has led to costly boom and bust cycles lor the industry (note the years 2000-2005). Conversely, consistent availability of the credit dramatically spurs growth (see years 2005, 2006 and 2007) and, aiong with It, thousands of new jobs and billions in new investment. Congress must move quickly to extend the production tax credit and other renewable electricity tax incentives. With 116,000 jobs and $19 billion in clean energy investment at risk, the credits are a critical element of a long-term federal policy to support this vibrant, fast-growing industry. Americans, by an overwhelming majority, understand this need and favor such government support. Wind power is one bright spot in the Ameri- can economy, helping to lower home energy bills, strengthen our energy security, create thousands of new manufacturing jobs and reduce global warming emissions while meet- ing growing demand for electricity across the nation. It's time for a long-term, consistent federal policy for wind and other renewables to power a cleaner, stronger America ~~ Randall Swisher Executive Director American Wind Energy Association Market Trends: All About Growth World's Largest Wind Power Market: U.S. The U.S. led the world in wind power instal- lations for the third year in a row in 2007. Global wind capacity increased by more than 20,000 megawatts (MW), with 5,244 MW installed in the U.S. Spain and China were the second and third largest markets last year with 3,515 MW and 3,449 MW of wind power capacity added respectively. All three broke the single-country record for new wind power installed in one year, set in 2002 by Germany (3,244 MW). America's Largest Wind Power Market: Texas Wind power development in Texas continues to outstrip the rest of the country, with 1,618 MW added in 2007, the most of any state by far, and another 1,200 MW under construc- tion as of early 2008. Competitive, Vibrant Market The U.S. wind energy market is very com- petitive, attracting new players and provid- ing growth opportunities in all sectors of the industry. For example: .

In 2007, 15 developers accounted for over 80% of the market. In 2005, nine compa- nies accounted for a similar market share. Larger Turbines The average wind turbine installed in 2007, at 1.6 megawatts (1.6 MW) of capacity, is twice as powerful as the average wind turbine installed in 2000 (0.76 MW). The largest wind turbines installed in the country, in California and Texas, have a capacity of 3 MW per turbine. Higher Costs Hitting All Power Technologies Worldwide consumption of raw materials and other factors are driving up capital costs for all electricity generating technologies, including wind turbines. However, wind power is immune to increases in the price of fuels needed to run other power plants (such as natural gas, coal and uranium, all of which have been increas- Ing recently). The Bottom Line: Diversifying an electricity portfolio with wind power and other renewables helps protect against fuel price volatility.

Such gigawatt-size projects 1. are evidence of the strong interest in investing in wind power; 2. take advantage of the nation's natural attributes (wide-open spaces and a vast wind resource), allowing large projects to capture economies of scale; and 3. help drive investment in transmission, which is needed to bring ever-larger amounts of wind power to market. Supply Chain Challenges The wind power industry is facing shortages of wind turbine components, as demand for wind power continues to increase in the U.S. and worldwide. To foster development of a robust supply chain here in America, the U.S. government needs to provide steady policy support, including a long-term exten- sion of the production tax credit (PTC) and a national renewable electricity standard (RES). Long-term incentives would unleash billions of dollars in investment. More Wind, More Jobs Wind power development creates jobs, es- pecially in construction and manufacturing. Wind industry manufacturing facilities surged from a very small base in the U,S, in 2005 to over 100 in 2007, Many existing facilities are expanding, In 2007, new tower, blade, tur- bine and assembly plants opened in Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin. In the same year, seven other facilities were announced in Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, North Carolina, New York and Oklahoma, Altogether, the new and announced fa- cilities are expected to create some 6,000 jobs, Across the U,S., many communities that have lost economic ground from the decline of once-reliable and flourishing industries such as steel are now seeing economic opportunity return thanks to wind power.

How fast will it expand as a share of total electricity supply? OUf current electricity supply was built up in successive waves, as one technology rose after another to meet the needs of a par- ticular time and market. Much of the nation's hydroelectric power system was built during the Great Depression, to spur job creation as well as generate electricity. Coal has been the largest source of power generation for decades, providing massive amounts of elec- tricity for the economy's growth. With years of intensive subsidies, nuclear power capacity was built up in the 1970s and 1980s, further centralizing our electricity supply. Natural gas surged to about 20% of U.S. electricity sup- ply in less than two decades, fueled by the opening of the monopoly electricity industry to competition and the search for cleaner energy sources. The dramatic increase in natural gas prices has dampened that boom. Could wind power be the next big wave? Wind power accounted for nearly 30% of all new electricity generating capacity added nationally in 2007, up from less than 1 % just five years ago, in 2002. That's a dramatic increase in market share (see chart below). New wind projects installed in 2007 will gen- erate about 16 billion kWh in 2008 - enough to power 1.5 million American households with clean, homegrown electricity. Predictions about our energy future differ widely- but they do agree on one thing: if policies and regulations remain on a busi- ness-as-usual or incremental course (with no long-term federal policy for wind power and other renewables and only modest con- straints on carbon emissions), the share pro- vided by wind will grow, but will not approach its real potential, which many estimate at 20% or more of electricity supply. For wind power, other renewables and effi- ciency to make up the next new, clean wave in our energy supply, a transformation of our energy practices, policies and infrastructure is necessary, starting with tax incentives (long-term production tax credit), minimum requirements and standards (renewable electricity standard), aggressive limits on emissions (wind power can cost-effectively reduce emissions), and investment in "clean energy super-highways" (high voltage trans- mission lines to bring ever-larger amounts of wind power to market). The electric industry as a whole is at a critical juncture, rocked by global warming challenges, rising costs, changing market structures and growing electricity demand. With appropriate policy support, wind power can playa large role in solving such challenges. ~ .

Regional investment in transmission lines and upgrades - Needed because existing lines are insufficient to meet growing demand for wind power. Progress to date Bills have been introduced in U.S. Congress by Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Representative Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) to establish National Renewable Energy Zones for transmission planning for renewable energy. Energy Policy Act of 2005 calls for national transmission .corridors" although not specifically for renewable energy. Texas, California, Minnesota, Colorado and New Mexico have established pro-active transmission policies for renewable energy. In 2007, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ruled in support of such a process. What's left to do Enact and implement legislation on National Renewable Energy Zones, building on experience from regional and state examples such as Competitive Renewable Energy Zones in Texas. Regional State Committees in the Midwest and South Central need to embrace regional transmission plans and cost allocation policies. Expand these pro-active transmission solutions to other states and to federal power administrations. CASE STUDY - CUMULATIVE SAVINGS FAR EXCEED TRANSMISSION COSTS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY Investing in transmission for wind power yields large economic benefits. A study by ERCOT, the independent transmission operator for most of Texas, evaluated 12 options to build transmission for an additional ',000 MW to 4,600 MWof wind power. Over time, production savings (from burning less fuel for electricity generation) and consumer savings (the zero marginal cost of wind energy helps drive down electricity market prices) far exceed the cost of investing in new transmission lines for wind power (chart at right). Geographically larger electricity markets - Needed because the larger the market, the easier it is to balance variable supply and demand. In addition, the more geographically dispersed the wind projects, the smoother their aggregate output Fair standards for connecting to transmission lines - Needed because standards designed for older technologies do not "fit" new ones like wind power. More efficient use of existing transmission lines - Needed because long-term "firm" contracts can lock up transmission lines even if they are not fully used. Wider use of wind fOrecasting - Needed to givetransmfssionsystemoperatots the tools with which to operate the electric system and.tointegrate.larger amounts of wind power.

Wind energy is being successfully integrated into these markets. In the Southwest and Northwest other methods for greater coordination are needed. Interconnection and "grid code" standards specifically designed for utility-scale wind turbines have been in place since 2005. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 890 establishes a flexible solution ("conditional firm") that helps new generators get access while ensuring more efficient use of existing lines. Significant progress has been made in forecasting power output from wind projects, making tt possible to "schedule" wind power with increasing accuracy. Provide utilities in smaller, non-RTO systems with the ability and incentive to fll!'ction as part of broader balancing and tran1mission areas. Reliability rules continue to evolve as wind power expands. These rules must not discriminate against wind power and other new technologies.

Wind Power: An Essential Element of the Climate Chang.e Solution Rising global temperatures will cause major changes in the earth's climate system, according to the world's scientists. Changes are already occurring, like rapidly rising Arc- tic temperatures (increasing at almost twice the global average rate), which are a factor in the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service notice fa list the polar bear as threatened. Wind Power Can Deliver Zero-emissions Electricity In Large Amounts According to the American Solar Energy Soci- ety (ASES), energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies can provide most if not all, of the U.S. carbon emissions reductions needed to keep atmospheric carbon dioxide levels at no more than 450-500 parts per million (ppm), the level targeted in the more protective climate change bills before Congress. (The current level is 380 ppm.) In this scenario, wind power offers a large reduction "wedge" by providing about 20% of U.S. electricity supply - the share envisioned by President Bush in 2006. Wind Power Delivers Zero-emissions Electricity At An Affordable Cost No other new power plants being built in the U.S. today generate zero-emissions elec- tricity at a cost per kilowatt-hour anywhere near as affordable as wind power. In fact, for both economic and environmental reasons, it makes sense to include more wind energy in the nation's electricity mix. Using wind power lowers the cost of complying with emissions reduction goals. A national requirement to generate 20% of electricity from renewable sources by 2020 would lower emissions by PholoC,,,dil:PPME,,,,rgy more than 400 million tons of C02 while sav- ing American consumers nearly $50 billion in electricity and natural gas bills, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. The Affordable Cost Of Wind Power Is Stable Over Time Wind projects do not use any fuel for their operations, so the price of wind power does not vary when fuel prices go up. When utilities acquire wind power, they lock in electricity at a stable price for twenty years or more. Wind Power Is Readily Available America's wind resource is vast, wind power technology is reliable and wind farms can be developed in a short time frame. Study after study, as well as experience in Europe, demon- strate that it is technically feasible to integrate 20% or more wind power into large regional electrical systems. Enhancements in trans- mission policy and investment in transmission infrastructure can help make this a reality. Wind Power Delivers Compound Environmental Benefits Wind power operates without emitting any greenhouse gases (GHG) and has one of the lowest GHG lifecycle emissions of any power technology. Wind power causes no harmful emissions, no extraction of fuel, no radioac- tive or hazardous wastes, no use of water for steam or cooling. Wind projects may spread over large areas, but their footprint is light. Farmers, ranchers and most other land own- ers continue their usual activities after wind turbines are installed on their property.

Dear Mayor and Councilmembers: The American Lung Association of California, San Diego office is writing to express our support for and to urge the city council to adopt the Climate Change Working Group's recommendations for reaching greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. Chula Vista is to be applauded for its leadership in addressing global warming. However, strong measures, such as those recommended by the Working Group, are necessary to ensure the success of this effort. Actions to curb greenhouse gas generation are critically needed now. Global warming is well recognized by scientists around the world as a serious public health and environmental concern. As atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases rise globally, temperatures on earth are increasing. Hotter temperatures cause a rise in air pollution levels, which in turn is expected to lead to worsening of lung health. In 2000, the city took an important step and adopted a goal of reducing carbon emissions to 20% below 1990 levels by 2010. The city held itself to a high standard of action and emissions attributable to city buildings and operations went down 18%. Unfortunately, emissions from the private sector (where the plan relied exclusively on voluntary actions) emissions went up 35%. Another troubling trend is that, since 1990, commercial sector emissions in Chula Vista are up 211 %. This demonstrates that to be effective, measures to reduce emissions must be mandatory and be applied citywide. A growing number of cities throughout the country are implementing greenhouse gas emission control measures: Chula Vista should count itself among the vanguard that has made plans prior to mandates that AB32 will bring. The American Lung Association of California will enthusiastically highlight Chula Vista as the leader in the county should each of the vital measures recommended by the Working Group be adopted. Sincerely, ~ .// ....-"~ IdA/![ Cbtttteu/s- /fi!~o . "', These are the duties of the Mayor according to our charter-the same as any other U; council member except for presiding at meetings and performing ceremonial and political functions and representing the city in regional agencies. One would think that these functions could easily be performed by a full-time mayor without any additional staff, except possibly someone to help constituents. There is a job called Senior Council assistant which each of the part-time council members has to help with communications with constituents. The mayor now has a constituent services manager doing the same job but being paid almost double the amount of money. This simply does not make sense in these times of budgetary crisis. Any other staff person would seem to put the mayor in a precarious position considering that the charter has specific prohibited acts: . The Charter also has Prohibited Acts: Q No member of the council shall directly or indirectly, by suggestion or otherwise, attempt to unduly influence the City Manager or other officer appointed or confirmed by the Council in their performance of duties. The mayor and the councilmen are hereby individually and collectively prohibited from performin1! anv administrative or executive functions except as same may be authorized by this Charter or by ordinance of the City ofChula Vista. Except for the purpose of inquiry, the Council and its members shall deal with that part of the administrative service for which the City Manager is responsible solely through the City Manager. A violation of the provisions of this section by any member of the Council shall constitute misconduct for which the offending member may be removed from office by the Council. Since the mayor is specifically prohibited from performing any administrative or executive functions except those the entire council has responsibility for why in the world does she need three staff people who are paid considerably more than our council people are and essentially perform jobs very similar to those performed by other city employees who work under the supervision of the City Manager?? A full time mayor should be spending full time of his or her own time keeping up with the matters to be brought before the council-not interfering in the workings of the government. Why are three expensive staff people needed?

This was the position added to help Mayor Padilla with Ca coastal commission business. No one is on the coastal commission, so there is no need for this position. If there was such a position it should be under the City Manager and the Planning Director. It should not be in the mayor's office, wbicb bas no legislative or executive functions. · What in the world does the mayor of Chula Vista need with a Chief of Staff who is paid more than she is-to supervise the other two employees? Or to interfere in legislative and administrative matter that the Charter prohibits her from interfering in? The bottom line is this amount of money could be used to keep our libraries open extra hours, keep recreation centers open or maintain the two new parks that the city did not want to build because they did not have the money to maintain them. 7) .:':,) v CUTS NEED TO START AT THE TOP!! So far the city has laid off its lowest paid hourly workers while the mayor has maintained an extravagant budget, which came with the job, but needs to be considerably cut. The matter of other benefits was dealt with in the paper on Saturday. The mayor of Chula Vista gets $12,000 she does not have to account for as a car allowance. The highest allowance in the county and of the state's 15 most populous cities and possibly illegal, according to the U- T. The entire co~ an executive secr~""and an office specialist and a total budget of $282,274. This should be ad~quate for all of them with the addition of a senior council aide each to help with constituent matter8'.ThemaYQr does not need a budget that is almost 4 times that of each council person. To see more details please go to \\\\\v,chulavistaissues.org PLEASE CALL THE COUNCIL BEFORE THURSDAY 691-5044 AND TELL THEM THIS BUDGET MUST BE CUT TO THE SAME AS THE REST OF THE COUNCIL BUDGETS PLUS THE MAYOR'S SALARY. PRIORITY NEEDS TO BE GOING TO PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE PUBLIC NOT TO THE MA YORl!! The Mayor's salary cannot be changed without a charter amendment. Maybe if the council is serious about balancing the budget they should put a charter change on the ballot to stop tying their salaries to a Superior Court judge's salary and instead tie it to the median income of the residents of Chula Vista so they would have a better idea of what the economic situation of the residents is.

They don't have to document mileage or wait for reimburse- ments, a lapse some lawyers say violates the spirit and even the letter of a 200Slaw meant to increase accountabilitf and end abuses of expenses paid to local officials. A review of auto allowances by The San Diego Union- Tribune found that: · No San Diego County cit- ies stopped the practice, even though some others in Califor- nia did. The Lynwood City Council became the latest to abandon allowances last month after its lawyer said they "ap- pear to be in direct conilict" with state law. · The Association of Califor- nia Water Agencies, led by a lawyer who once served as the citf attorney in Carls bad and Oceanside, revised its guide- lines in 2006 to specify that auto allowances are now forbidden.

Dear Chula Vista Mayor and City Council members, I Global climate change is a major concern to me and may impact our region significantly. In 2000, the city took a I I visionary step to adopt a Carbon Reduction Plan. Unfortunately, the plan did not achieve carbon emission reduction goals I because most of the actions were voluntary and not mandatory. Soon, you will be considering an update of the Carbon I Reduction Plan. This Update will provide a great opportunity to set a new direction for the city to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and be more energy secure. I I I I I I I I Address I City . ~ .
