The agreement extension will be funded entirely by the Energy Partnerships with Southern <br />California Edison (SCE) and Southern California Gas (SCG). <br />On November 8, 2011, the City approved a contract with ICLEI for the Baseline Greenhouse Gas <br />Emissions Inventory and a Climate Action Plan (CAP). The CAP will provide a comprehensive <br />plan for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the City's municipal operations and the <br />community. The CAP will serve as a guiding document to identify ways in which the community <br />and City can reduce GHG emissions. The current agreement with ICLEI expires on December 31, <br />2013. <br />In CAP development process, additional detailed analysis and evaluation was needed that was not <br />included in the original scope of work. The SCE and SCG Energy Partnerships have allocated <br />$10,000 and $15,000, respectively, to assist the City in completing this additional work. This <br />amendment will extend the agreement with ICLEI to June 30, 2015. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />25F -1 <br />
