Plans are only effective if they’re implemented and results are carefully evaluated. The City will prepare an annual assessment of the progress it is making on implementing the measures contained in this Climate Change Action Plan and continue to quantify community and greenhouse gas emissions to determine if we are on track to meet our reduction targets.
The City will take the following actions to implement and monitor the Climate Change Action Plan.

Monitor and report on the City’s progress annually. Create an annual priorities list for implementation.
Update the greenhouse gas emissions inventory for community emissions annually and every five years for government operations.
Identify funding sources for recommended actions, and pursue local, regional, state and federal grants as appropriate. Investigate creation of a local carbon fund or other permanent source of revenue to implement the Climate Change Action Plan.
Update the Climate Change Action Plan regularly to incorporate new long-term reduction targets and strategies to meet those targets.
Develop a project compliance checklist to use when reviewing development proposals, use permit applications, and building permit applications to ensure compliance with Climate Action Plan measures.
