(1 hour discussion) In 1999, Fort Collins was among the first communities in the nation to adopt a community -wide greenhouse gas reduction goal and a plan to meet it. Good progress was been made over the past several years, but Fort Collins was not on track to meet the 2010 goal. In 2007, a citizen task force was convened to develop an updated plan and recommend a future direction. In May 2008, City Council set new community -wide greenhouse gas goals for 2020 and 2050 that align with the State goals. After a year of evaluating strategies and considering cost-effectiveness, the Climate Task Force completed its recommendations in June 2008. Its recommendations include 16 aggressive strategies to reduce emissions in all sectors in the near term, and several longer -term strategies. City staff then evaluated the strategies, updated the assumptions and made adjustments to incorporate subsequent input. The result is a draft Climate Action Plan that builds upon existing successes and encompasses a range of strategies, such as expanding the successful Climate Wise Program, increasing residential and business recycling, reducing vehicle miles traveled, and providing various incentives for reducing CO2 and increasing energy efficiency. Strategies contained in the draft Climate Action Plan also support other local community goals and contribute to sustaining Fort Collins as a vibrant, world class community. The purpose of this work session is to receive Council's comments about the draft Climate Action Plan. 3. Platte River Power Authority Organic Contract and Energy Supply Agreement Review. (90 minute discussion) The Organic Contract between Platte River Power Authority (PRPA) and member cities of Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont and Loveland was originally signed in 1975 and last amended in 1998. A change to the Organic Contract requires the approval of all four member municipalities. Most of the changes to the Organic Contract are in the nature of updates intended to reflect current organizational practices. The term of the contract will be extended from 2040 to 2050. In addition, staff and PRPA have negotiated changes to update the Contract for the Supply of Electric Power and Energy and termination of the Transmission Facilities Agreement. Changes to the Contract for the Supply of Electric Power and Energy incorporate relevant terms from the Transmission Facilities Agreement. 4. Other Business. 5. Adiounnnent.
