Chula Vista Climate Action Plan: Appendix A DRAFT

Transcription

1 Chula Vista Climate Action Plan: Appendix A Objectives, Strategies & Implementation Actions ( I) In conjunction with the City s updated 2017 Climate Action Plan, this appendix provides a more detailed look into the specific actions that the City will take to address the Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) recommendations. To help provide stakeholders a better view of the implementation process, we listed the department or section leading each implementation action, a time frame for its expected completion (or start if ongoing) and the most recent status for it s funding. When evaluating the funding status for actions, refers to actions that have already been funded and/or completed and, if needed, have funding going forward; Identified refers to future actions that have an identified funding source; Grants or Partners indicates types of actions we have funded through grants or partnerships in the past and think we will be able to for the new actions but have not secured the specific funding for that item yet; and Needed where a funding source still needs to be identified. For any of the actions that are marked as needing funding, staff will work to identify possible funding sources so that projects e can be implemented as indicated on the timeline. Each objective also lists the annual GHG C0 2 they are expected to provide in 2020 and Lead Abbreviations: Cons. Conservation Section, PW Ops Public Work Department Operation Section, DSD Development Services Department, ES Environmental Services Section, PW Eng Public Work Department Engineering Section.
