FROM: Fort Collins Air Quality Advisory Board
DATE: November 26, 2008
SUBJECT: Board Recommendation on Climate Program
Dear Mayor and members of City Council:
In our meeting of November 17, the Fort Collins Air Quality Board passed a unanimous resolution to City
Council in support of the Climate Plan.
Motion on Climate Action Plan:
The Air Quality Advisory Board reaffirms its support for the draft Climate Action Plan including the
proposed additional strategies, and we urge City Council to adopt them.
Secondly, we recommend that, in 2009/10, the Council plan to study and develop further incremental and
alternative strategies to attain both near and longer-term goals, including alternatives to purchasing carbon
offsets and enhancements to transportation and energy efficiency.
Thirdly, we recommend that the Council direct the City Manager to provide resources and direction to
continue the process. And finally, we point out that, although successful implementation of the Climate
Action Plan would meet its stated goal, the goal itself falls short of the need for carbon emission reduction.
Thank you for your consideration of this resolution. I would be happy to answer any questions or convey
your comments and further direction to the Board.
Sincerely,
Eric Levine,
Board Chair
