Regional Climate Action Plan

Thanked the council for the $30,000 contribution to the regional climate action plan administrator but asked that it be made a separate line item so it doesn't 'disappear' into the general fund's miscellaneous category.

Begged the council to commit Eureka's share of the regional climate plan administrator position, noting other agencies have already committed.

The EPIC climate attorney asked the city to fund its proportional share of the climate plan coordinator, noting the 2030 deadline and that other jurisdictions have committed.

A former climate plan consultant said filling and funding the coordinator position is key to implementation and a small cost compared to the city budget.

Quoted the adopted climate plan's cornerstone strategy requiring a funded coordinator and asked Eureka to join its partners in funding the position.

Reiterated his earlier plea for the city to fund the climate plan coordinator position during the budget session.

During the RCAP hearing, she called the four-year process disappointingly slow, urged adoption, and pressed for radical action on transportation emissions and bike parking near new housing.
