they are far fewer and more poorly distributed in San Leandro than in Oakland or <br />Hayward. <br />• There are many strategies and they cover myriad sectors. This is good! However, many of the <br />actions appear to be voluntary or with caveats that render them non -committal. I'd recommend <br />including stronger language that makes the measures mandatory or non -voluntary. For <br />example, for BE-2, the two actions include language of "investigate the potential for..." and <br />"explore the feasibility of incentivizing all -electric buildings...", both of which don't ensure that <br />BE-2 will actually be achieved. <br />What feedback do you have for the strategies and actions to address climate adaptation? <br />• New businesses that open the permit in San Leandro should sponsor 2 trees for every linear foot <br />their business has (or some formula) and for in home businesses, <br />• Similarly, as above, how will the city ensure these outcomes? Nearly everything is optional <br />rather than mandatory. I am concerned that this will lead to a continued deprioritization of <br />climate change issues when expedient. <br />• Forgive me if I overlooked this in the plan, but building environmental stewardship and <br />resilience skills in our youth (i.e. a youth climate corps) could also be a way to address climate <br />adaptation. A formal link between schools and local universities/colleges and the work of the <br />Climate Plan could help train future citizens and ensure community buy -in. <br />• Same response as # 4. <br />• Some of this stuff is quite creative! I find myself questioning how City personnel are going to <br />accomplish even half of it. <br />• All great! p. 88 Adaptation Strategy 2 - Was hoping to see a strong tree -planting program, given <br />trees' power to sequester atmospheric carbon. <br />• Exellent work)!! As a renter I am so grateful that RF-4 is included. We need solar on the roofs of <br />City Hall and Police Depts, the libraries, Senior Center, Marina Community Center and schools <br />AND storage capacity. Hooray for ME-3! <br />What feedback do you have for the implementation plan? <br />• Again, I don't see any mechanisms to require the implementation of this plan's proposed <br />solutions. They seem like glorified guidelines - unless I am grossly misreading something? <br />• Same response as #s 4 & 5. To avoid greater costs later when we're in an emergency (around <br />fire, around health of the community because of pollution, around rising sea levels), wouldn't it <br />make sense to spend money now, e.g., on more personnel to work with Hoi Fei? <br />• 1 liked "Identify key staff from each department responsible for supporting the Sustainability <br />Manager with information and updates for annual reporting and monitoring." I liked all of it! <br />The Work Plan is a great way to prioritize by GHG reduction potential. <br />• Appreciate the focus on addressing real problems that many community members are likely to <br />face. <br />• 1 have noted how the CEQA review done for the EIR on the Shoreline project (and others) in San <br />Leandro merely rubberstamp ones done previously. I know that these reviews are outsourced <br />and paid for, and the people hired to do them make money on projects going forward —they are <br />paid by the developers — so the analyses they produce are frequently biased in favor of the <br />project and whitewash impacts. This is NOT in the best interest of the environment or the future <br />
