Messago from the City Manager <br />t. <br />Community Members, <br />For many years, the City of Santa Ana has taken the lead in reducing greenhouse <br />gas emissions and conserving resources citywide. As a result, Santa Ana's per capita <br />emissions are lower compared to other California cities and the State. Energy efficiency <br />and sustainability have been guiding principles to ensure that the actions taken today <br />will preserve the ability to meet the needs of future generations. <br />The purpose of this Climate Action Plan is to develop and implement strategies to <br />reduce greenhouse gas emissions from City operations, and the community. These <br />strategies include using energy and water more efficiently, increasing renewable energy, <br />enhancing access to sustainable transportation modes, recycling waste, and building <br />sustainable communities. These actions will benefit the community by boosting the local <br />economy, reducing traff ic congestion, improving air quality, lowering energy use and <br />cost, and improving the quality of life. <br />I would like to express our gratitude to the Mayor and City Council for their outstanding <br />leadership and vision. We are committed to creating a more livable, sustainable, and <br />economically vibrant community. I look forward to working together with the community <br />and achieving great progress through the implementation of the Climate Action Plan. <br />Best, <br />David Cavazos <br />City Manager <br />75B -8 <br />
