<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Environmental Initiatives Committee <br />Minutes <br /> <br />DATE: Monday, December 8, 2008 <br />TIME: 7:30pm <br />LOCATION: Parks & Recreation Building <br />26379 Fremont Road <br /> Los Altos Hills <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Roll Call: The following were present: Ian Earnest, John Harpootlian, Lew <br />Jameson, Breene Kerr, Raj Reddy, Steve Schmidt, Jay Shideler. Guest attendees: <br />Rich Larson & Margie Suozzo.. <br />Committee acceptance of the minutes: All present accepted the November 24, <br />2008 Minutes as-is. <br /> <br />Energy: <br />1. Energy Renewable & Consumption Reduction Initiatives: <br />Steve presented a graph-spreadsheet presentation for reduction of GHG (by GHG <br />contributing category) for both LAH Government and separately, for the LAH <br />residential community. Seven GHG contributing categories were analyzed for <br />both the government and the residential community. A reasonable and logical <br />year-by-year reduction proposal was made for each category and plotted in an <br />excel spreadsheet for the years 2008 through 2015. Each category was analyzed <br />for year-by-year feasibility. The analysis indicated that by the year 2015, net <br />LAH GHG reduction goals of 50% for government and 30% for residential was a <br />feasible and viable goal. The EIC voted unanimously to accept these goals and to <br />recommend these goals to the Town Council: <br />• Present the LAH GHG analysis to the next Town Council – (H-H) Steve, <br />Peter. <br />• Continue to refine GHG analysis spreadsheet – (H-H) Steve, Peter. <br />2. PG&E and LAH audits: A detailed excel spreadsheet was presented by Steve for <br />entering and tabulating specific GHG related items when doing residential audits. <br />Spreadsheet is still a “work in progress” but will serve as a good starting point. A <br />mock home audit was performed on both Steve and Peter’s homes to test the audit <br />spreadsheet. Some talk pursued on making the audit spreadsheet web-based so <br />Any writings or documents provided to a majority of the Environmental Initiatives Committee regarding any item of the open <br />session portion of this agenda will be made available for public inspection in the City Clerk’s office located at 26379 Fremont <br />Road, Los Altos Hills, California <br />during normal business hours. <br />
