Community-wide and Municipal Operations
Community-wide Emissions
Municipal Operations Emissions
Municipal Operations
considers the impacts of
emissions resulting from the
provision of city services
and reduction opportunities to
continue to provide a high-
level of service to residents,
while more efficiently
consuming resources.
Community-wide
considers the total impact of
emissions-generating
activities and reduction
opportunities within Cupertino
jurisdictional boundaries.

CAP Reduction Measure Timeline
On-going-items are actions the City already performs or programs
the City already offers that should be continued in the future.
Near-term-items are those that should be pursued immediately,
within a 1-2 year timeframe following CAP adoption.
Medium-term -items will help to achieve the 2020 reduction target,
and should be pursued within 3-5 years following CAP adoption.
Long-term -items will help provide broader measure
implementation, but are not critical to immediate success; these
items include actions that can be started now and will take 5+ years
to complete, or can be actions that do not require implementation
consideration for at least 5 years.
13
CAP Progress Report on Near Term Measures
Green:
–Completed –All required implementation steps have been
completed
–Ongoing –All required initial steps have been completed, but
component is still actively being implemented
Yellow:
–In Progress –Implementation steps are still being developed and
pursued based on the original implementation plan
–Initiating-Initial steps have not been started, but will be started and
implemented before 2020.
Red:
–On-Hold –Implementation has not proceeded due to a
programmatic barrier or is no longer applicable based on the original
implementation plan
Actions across near-term measures are summarized with by visual cues:

Municipal Electricity Usage
Energy Use Reduced-Despite the addition of new
facilities and infrastructure since 2010 electricity and
natural gas use has gone down.
Streetlight Upgrades-Retrofitted through the City’s
Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency and
Conservation block Grant in 2009 –2010.
Municipal Gas Usage
Municipal Measure -Improve Facilities (Energy)
Solar Generation-In December 2014, the City installed its
first municipal solar carport project at the Service Center.
The system size capacity is 103.7 kW, and is estimated to
generate enough electricity to offset 74% of the Service
Center energy use across three unique meters, including
the Don Burnet Bridge. As of February 29, 2016 the array
has generated 163,661 kWh since it was installed on
December 6, 2014.

Climate Action Plan Next Steps
Create CAP implementation work plan & budget (proposed FY16/17 budget)
Establish CEQA checklist to ensure future project consistency with
Planning & Building (currently being applied to projects)
Define & Improve Monitoring Program (data collection and reporting
meetings being held; templates underway)
Complete 2015 GHG inventory (anticipated by close of 2016).
