Comment:
The City of Sacramento has the following general comments: 1. Additional time to review the Draft Plan would have/will have a positive impact on the quality and completeness of the final document. With additional time the City could more comprehensively solicite input from all appropriate staff members and commented on all aspects of the Draft Plan that we believe will impact the City. 2. Retaining local control over land use is a significant concern to the City of Sacramento. 3. Any final regulations should take in to account the significant costs of implementing a climate action plan. Over the past several years, the City of Sacramento has taken the initiative to register its greenhouse gas emission inventory with the California Climate Registry and bears the burden of funding the administrative costs for tracking and reporting our municipal greenhouse gas emissions. The cost for developing and implementing a climate action plan will be significant. 4. We strongly encourage ARB to adopt an incentive based model for cities to develop regional GHG reduction targets as opposed to a model of mandates and/or regulations. 5. Finally, cities across the State are different and have unique challenges and opportunities, therefore, we would strongly oppose a one size fits all approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
