SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: Community Development
Prepared by: Bob Brown�j. City Manager Approval:
SUBJECT: Resolutions of Appreciation for Members of the Green Ribbon Committee and Green Teams
(CD)
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolutions of appreciation.
BACKGROUND: In winter 2008, the City of San Rafael received a $25,000 grant from the Bay Area Air
Quality District to prepare a Climate Change Action Plan. To start the project, in April 2008, the City
Council appointed over 30 people to serve on a Green Ribbon Committee and four Green Teams.
The charge to the Green Ribbon Committee and the Green Teams was to
Prepare and recommend to the City Council a Climate Change Action Plan that will
achieve realistic and timely goals of reducing the carbon footprint both from City
operations and throughout the community. To achieve these goals, the Plan will include
actions the City of San Rafael and the community of San Rafael can take to achieve
feasible and sustainable reductions in carbon emissions.
The Green Team members, covering topics of land use, transportation, urban forest, green building,
energy, purchasing and recycling, and adaption/sea level rise, provided much of the technical review of
the issues and potential actions. They had many in depth conversations about the state-of-the-art of
climate change programs, and prepared drafts for the Green Ribbon Committee to review.
The Green Ribbon Committee members provided oversight for the project, and reviewed and approved
the final Climate Change Action Plan document. They held two community workshops, including the
Vision Green workshop summer 2008, and the Climate Action Open House 2009. Both groups worked
diligently and conscientiously to create the Climate Change Action Plan scheduled for adoption tonight.
The members recognized tonight for their service to the City of San Rafael include:

Pauline Basaran
Joe Bunker
Kate Colin, co-chair (ex officio, non-voting)
Christienne de Tournay_Birkhahn
