included in this inventory. Beyond reducing greenhouse gases, any future reductions in municipal energy consumption will result in budget cost savings thereby enabling the City to reallocate limited funds for other municipal services or leverage costs savings to support future climate protection activities. Energy Watch Program – In October 2007, Daly City participated in the Association of Bay Area Governments’ Energy Watch Program. The program identified City owned facilities where significant reductions in energy consumption could be made—all of which were included in the City Energy Assessment Report. The strategies and actions highlighted in the report, in addition to the activities mentioned below, represent many aspects of Daly City’s vision for a more sustainable future. The Green Team – In January 2008, the Daly City Leadership Academy’s Green Team presented to the City Council a host of recommendations aimed at significantly reducing City greenhouse gas emissions. These recommendations, know as the Green Policy, build on environmental policies and goals already active in City departments as well as policies and goals slated for implementation in the near future. These recommendations highlighted areas where significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions could be made and the steps necessary to commence and successfully complete their implementation. Climate Action Team – In June 2009, the City’s Climate Action Team, comprised of members from each City department, presented to the City Council a mission statement, guiding principles and research highlighting appropriate measures and goals to be included in a Daly City climate action plan. U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement – In June 2009, the City Council adopted the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement paving the way for further climate protection initiatives. Storm Water Management – In 2009, the City constructed an aesthetically attractive and environmentally responsible bio‐swale stormwater treatment facility fronting Serramonte Library. This stormwater garden is regularly used by area schools, non‐profits and government agencies as a demonstration project to highlight ways to reduce and/or control stormwater run‐off and to improve stormwater quality and aquatic health. Diversion of Construction and Demolition Debris – The City adopted a construction debris recycling ordinance designed to ensure construction debris is taken to approved sites capable of disposing the waste properly and diverting materials able to be recycled to appropriate facilities. Green Building Ordinance – The City adopted a Green Building Ordinance designed to encourage energy efficient construction practices for all new residential construction.

Fleet Management – The City’s fleet management program is now designed to identify vehicles in the City fleet which could be replaced by hybrid, electric or other alternative fuel vehicles. Energy Audits – As a multi‐year program, the City identified City‐owned facilities where relatively minor and highly cost effective improvements could be made to significantly reduce energy consumption. This was achieved by retrofitting or replacing outdated heating, ventilation and air condition equipment, through the replacement of lighting with energy efficient alternatives and with other internal and external modifications. Fueled in large part by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the City is currently pursuing multiple retrofit and replacement projects totaling over $1,000,000. Water and Wastewater – The City provides recycled tertiary water to large irrigators such as golf courses, parks and street medians. The recycled water, which otherwise would be discharged into the ocean, replaces drinking water historically used for irrigation. The culmination of this work, ongoing City initiatives and the foresight to begin preparing for eventual compliance with State and Federal mandates places Daly City in the respected company of other Bay Area communities committed to a sustainable energy future. The Daly City Green Vision – TEN for TWENTY expands on these prior achievements and defines the City’s future goals for reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The following pages present a roadmap for the future. City of Daly City 9 TEN for TWENTY
