2. Work Program in the planning and program development that has taken place to date. ESA will work closely with City staff, and engage public input into the planning process to develop a suite of GHG reduction measures that address the particular needs of the City and maximize the City's potential for increased sustainability. We will draw on tools, ideas and experience from many sources, including ICLEI, the US Conference of Mayors Best Practices for Climate Protection, StopWaste, CoolCalifomia.org, and our experience developing CAPs for local governments in California and beyond, including the cities of Hayward, San Leandro, Martinez, Sunnyvale, and Irvine. We will also draw from best practices put forth in exemplary CAPs such as those produced by the Bay Area cities of Berkeley, Hayward, San Francisco, and Menlo Park. We will consider programs and policies that are both wholly within the City of Pleasanton and those that are regional in nature, and that would require collaboration with other jurisdictions and regional organizations, such as ABAG. From the literature review, City staff direction, and our own consideration of Pleasanton's needs and potentials, we will develop a long -list of programs and policies. We will then conduct a comparative evaluation to develop a list of measures best - suited for Pleasanton that address each major emissions source. For each suitable measure, we will prepare an approximately 1 -page description that includes the following elements: • Program Description; • Related City and regional programs and policies; • Emissions category affected; • Strategies for implementation, including assessment of effort, potential barriers, and suitability as an "early action" program; • Implementation timeframe, typical "payback" period (if applicable) and expected participation rates; • GHG reduction potential, in terms of carbon dioxide equivalence (CO • Co- benefits, including benefits to communities most at risk from adverse impacts of climate change; • Estimated cost (both construction and annual operating /staffing if applicable); • • 2 -10 City of Pleasanton Climate Action Plan
