Climate Action Mendocino is relieved to see this renewal of the declaration of local emergency related to climate change. We are eager to hear how the process is moving along to update the County buildings for energy efficiency as well as the conversion of the County's fleet to all EVs or hybrids where necessary. Thank you for moving EV chargers along, though the process takes so many months. Also MTA EV buses are very slowly being introduced. We especially noted the mitigation reference in this WHEREAS, certain existing policies and regulations of the County may hinder rapid and effective response to climate change, and urgency actions to ease regulatory and public policy
constraints may be necessary to facilitate effective and expedited implementation of climate change mitigation efforts, including streamlining the implementation of climate change mitigation measures such as renewable energy projects, green infrastructure and emissions reductions
initiatives.
Thank you for staying focused on this dire threat.
