Santa Ana Climate Action Plan <br />To achieve the intended emissions reduction and energy savings, this CAP must be effectively <br />implemented. The purpose of this Implementation and Monitoring Strategy is to provide a <br />framework for managing implementation of the CAP, and for monitoring progress in achieving <br />energy savings and reduction in emissions. <br />Staffing <br />To ensure effective implementation of the <br />CAP, the City will set up an interdepartmental <br />team that will meet on a regular basis to <br />coordinate implementation. This team will <br />include Public Works, Planning and Building, <br />Finance and Management Services, and other <br />departments that play a role in implementing <br />the CAP measures. In addition to this team, <br />the City will explore hiring support staff to <br />assist in managing day -to -day coordination <br />of the actions identified in the CAP. These <br />actions will focus on tracking progress, <br />evaluating effectiveness, and identifying and <br />securing new funding opportunities. <br />Partnerships <br />Partnerships will also be a critical part of <br />implementing the CAP. In particular, close <br />coordination will be needed with SCE <br />and SCG for effective promotion of utility <br />incentives. City staff members currently <br />participate in monthly partnership meetings <br />with the utilities and plan to continue <br />meeting throughout CAP implementation. <br />Partnership with the Santa Ana Chamber of <br />Commerce will be important for outreach and <br />promotion of business - related measures. <br />Through the stakeholder engagement <br />workshops conducted during development <br />75B -77 <br />of the CAP, the City has already begun <br />identifying potential new partners, including <br />the Building Industry Association and the <br />US Green Building Council, which will be <br />important partners for any measure affecting <br />new residential construction. Achieving <br />significant energy savings and a significant <br />emissions reduction in Santa Ana will require <br />the community to work together, and the City <br />to act in partnership with other stakeholder <br />groups. <br />Outreach and Education <br />The City has a number of communications <br />and outreach activities that can be used to <br />promote and implement the CAP measures. <br />These activities will be enhanced and brought <br />together under a comprehensive outreach and <br />education program. <br />All residents receive the Santa Ana Green <br />quarterly newsletter, which will continue to <br />be the primary channel for communicating <br />information about energy and water <br />related incentives and financing options; <br />and solid waste reduction. The Santa Ana <br />Green newsletter presents information <br />in both English and Spanish to reach the <br />diverse Santa Ana population. Additionally, <br />information will be provided at locations where <br />the City interacts with residents and business <br />
