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.
