EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report summarizes current efforts to update the Climate Action and Resiliency Plan (CARP) and Zero Waste Implementation Plan (ZWIP) and seeks City Council feedback on the draft ZWIP update focus areas and key programs in development as well as the CARP draft vision, goals and strategies, and key priority implementation plans.
BACKGROUND
2025 Climate Action and Resiliency Plan Update
Alameda’s CARP was adopted in 2019 with the goal of equitably reducing the City of Alameda’s (City) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% below 2005 levels by 2030 and achieving net zero carbon emissions. A greenhouse gas emissions inventory completed for 2022 shows the City is on track to meet its climate goals, largely as a result of Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) delivering 100% clean electricity; however, additional attention and effort are needed over the next five years to achieve CARP’s 2030 goals. The CARP update also includes an update of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approved Climate Adaptation and Hazard Mitigation Plan (2022) to be incorporated as a component of CARP. On March 19, 2023, staff provided City Council with the annual update on progress toward implementing CARP strategies (Staff Report 2024-3849 <https://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=6567729&GUID=4004B088-E094-44EC-ACE7-252DB86DE848&Options=ID%7CText%7C&Search=carp+annual+report+2023&FullText=1>).
The CARP update aligns with several new developments since its adoption, including the Transportation Choices Plan (2018), AMP Strategic Plan (2020-2025), Alameda 2040 General Plan (2022), Climate Adaptation and Hazard Mitigation Plan (2022), Active Transportation Plan (2023), Equitable Building Decarbonization Plan (2023), Urban Forest Plan (in progress), the City Strategic Plan (2023-2026) and the Zero Waste Plan Update (in progress). Alameda has also taken the lead in recent years in forming the Oakland Alameda Adaptation Committee (OAAC) to address sea level rise adaptation and community resilience.
2024 Zero Waste Implementation Plan Update
As a leader in sustainability, the City Council adopted its first ZWIP in October 2010. The ZWIP provided a set of recommendations and guidance for the City to achieve its goal of zero waste: 89% diversion by 2020. Zero waste is a philosophy and design framework that promotes not only reuse, recycling, and conservation programs, but also, and more importantly, emphasizes sustainability by considering the entire lifecycle of products, processes, and systems.
The ZWIP was updated in 2018. At that time, the City had achieved an 81% diversion rate. To continue towards zero waste, five key strategies were proposed:
1. Support Zero Waste Culture in Alameda: Enhance and celebrate Alameda’s growing zero waste culture through several actions that recognize the shared responsibility for each individual to reduce and divert waste from landfill disposal.
2. Conduct Targeted Technical Assistance with Commercial and Multi-Family Sectors: Alameda’s commercial and multi-family waste generators have the greatest opportunity to reduce waste sent to landfill and helping them to achieve higher levels of waste diversion could significantly reduce Alameda’s landfill disposal.
3. Create a Food Recovery Program and Enhance Organics Management: Food waste and other organic materials represent over 20% of waste sent to landfill and increasingly strict state requirements regarding its disposal make this strategy important for Alameda’s zero waste achievement.
4. Update Alameda’s Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Ordinance and Conduct Outreach: Building projects produce large amounts of waste that often ends up in a landfill despite its potential to be reused or recycled, underscoring the need to increase materials recovery.
5. Expand High Diversion Franchise Agreement: Alameda County Industries (ACI) is a great asset and partner in working with Alameda to achieve its zero-waste goal, and updating the franchise agreement to support zero waste initiatives and build on that partnership will be important moving forward.
On October 17, 2023, staff provided City Council with an update on progress made implementing these five strategies and reported an 81% diversion rate as of calendar year 2022 (Staff Report 2023-3415 <https://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=6374132&GUID=CBFBBDBA-9B5A-426D-AE6F-D4E80F44EFC8&Options=ID%7CText%7C&Search=zero+waste&FullText=1>). Further in-depth analysis was needed to assess the effectiveness of the 2018 ZWIP and determine Alameda’s continued path for achieving zero waste. City Council approved moving forward with the next ZWIP update and awarded HF&H Consultants, LLC (HF&H) an agreement to do so.

Workshop presentations and survey results are available at www.alamedaca.gov/CARP <http://www.alamedaca.gov/CARP>.
Youth Engagement
A focus of the CARP community engagement process is on youth engagement. The 2024 sustainability summer intern developed recommendations for deeper engagement with climate interested youth by providing information on ways youth can use their required community service hours to support the climate and piloting a series of meetings with City sustainability staff and youth representing clubs at Alameda middle and high schools. Meetings will occur every two months during the school year to help student climate clubs learn about how to get involved in City climate action work, activate the broader student community, and provide a platform for student climate clubs across Alameda to exchange ideas and share resources. The first coordination meeting was held on September 19, 2024.
Overall, staff believes the public engagement process has been comprehensive and aligned with best practices to successfully involve diverse community stakeholders.
GHG Inventory
As shown in Exhibit 1, the City conducted an updated GHG for 2022 (the latest year data is available) to monitor progress on achieving CARP goals. The inventory includes emissions by sector (building energy use, on- and off-road transportation, solid waste, and water and wastewater) that were emitted communitywide in 2022. Overall, the City is on track to meet its climate goals, largely as a result of AMP delivering 100% clean electricity; however reaching our 2030 goals will require continued local action. Key findings from the inventory include:
• 2022 GHG communitywide emissions decreased 29% from 2005 levels despite population and job increases, totaling 267,894 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e).
• Energy emissions decreased 40% since 2005, mainly due to 100% clean electricity provided by AMP.
• Transportation emissions fell 25% since 2005 due to cleaner vehicles and equipment, and a 6% reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
• Emissions share by sector has remained relatively constant: transportation (62%), natural gas use in buildings (31%), solid waste (4%) and water (2%).
• Projected emissions, adjusted for State policy, are projected to decrease an additional 10% from 2022 to 2030. To meet CARP targets, an additional 11% emissions reduction is needed from local policies.
• Consumption-based emissions in 2015 (the latest year data is available) were approximately 1.1 million MTCO2e. This higher total is due to inclusion of activities within and outside City limits such as air travel, imported foods and goods, services, and construction.
Draft Vision, Goals and Strategies
Through the community engagement process, staff revised the CARP vision, goals and strategies as shown in Exhibit 2. Key revisions include simplifying and clarifying language, combining and reducing the number of goals, combining and aligning strategies, and creating new strategies for City Leadership and Community Activation and Education. The revised CARP goals focus on four important goals:
1. Carbon Neutrality: Fairly reduce emissions from transportation, buildings, solid waste, and water in alignment with local and State targets.
2. Community Resilience: Safeguard the community, especially vulnerable communities, from the impacts of climate change and natural hazards.
3. Community Education and Activation: Inspire the Alameda community to participate in climate action and resilience efforts. Alameda will cultivate climate leadership, innovation, and community building among all residents, businesses, community organizations, and service providers.
4. City Leadership: The City of Alameda will lead by example through aligning resources and working collaboratively to implement the CARP.
These goals support Alameda's overall vision of becoming carbon neutral and building community resilience while enhancing quality of life and reducing environmental burden on vulnerable communities. The revised plan targets a 50% reduction in emissions below 2005 levels by 2030 and aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045.
Priority Implementation Plans
Expanding and developing plans for public EV Charging and Building Decarbonization are two key areas in which staff believes additional attention can be focused before 2030 to help achieve the City’s CARP goals. Combined with implementation of other adopted City plans, such as the ZWIP, Active Transportation Plan, and AMP Strategic Plan, this will help achieve the overall carbon neutrality goal.
Expanding Public EV Charging
Staff is prioritizing deployment of public EV charging in public parking lots and in the public right-of-way in a two-phase process in accordance with the City Strategic Plan Project CC2 to implement electric vehicle (EV) charging at city-owned public parking lots and expand EV charging availability across the City. In the first phase, staff entered into a no-cost agreement with It’s Electric to deploy up to 10 curbside chargers in the public right of way, in multi-family and mixed-use neighborhoods and adjacent to Alameda Housing Authority and Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) properties. For public parking lots, staff has entered into a no-cost agreement with Blink Charging to deploy chargers in the following public parking lots:
• Harbor Bay Park and Ride (4 Level 2 ports)
• Bohol Circle Immigrant Park (4 Level 2 ports)
• Civic Center Garage (replace existing 4 Level 2 charging ports)
• Central Ave Lot C (2 DC fast charging ports)
• Mastick Senior Center (4 Level 2 ports)
In the second phase, staff is requesting $5.2 million in federal funding from the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure grant program to deploy up to 40 additional curbside chargers and additional chargers at the following public parking lots:
• Estuary Park Phase II (4 Level 2 ports)
• City Hall West (4 Level 2 ports)
• Harbor Bay Park and Ride (8 Level 2 ports & 2 DC fast charging ports)
• Bay Farm Island Library (4 DC fast charging ports)
• Washington Park (4 DC fast charging ports)
• West End Lot W (4 DC fast charging ports)
• Jean Sweeney Park (4 DC fast charging ports)
Staff partnered with It’s Electric and Blink Charging on the grant application. If the grant is awarded, these partners will supply the 20% matching funds totaling $1.3 million. If the grant is not awarded, other funding will need to be secured to implement phase 2 projects.
Building Decarbonization
The City is focusing on decarbonizing the building stock in accordance with City Strategic Plan Project CC5 to implement equitable building decarbonization pilot programs. The City is focused on building carbon neutral municipal facilities and held our first annual electrification fair this year. AMP provides a number of rebates and the City partners with AMP to educate residents and help promote additional state and federal incentives. Many electrification permits can be obtained with express web permits, and the City has reduced permit fees for electrification.
In 2024, City Council repealed the City’s ordinance that required electric appliances in new construction and major remodels and additions to comply with California Restaurant Association v. City of Berkeley (Staff Report 2024-4046 <https://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=6703246&GUID=912239F4-ADEF-4065-939F-54D09561ED15&Options=ID|Text|&Search=2024-4046>). City Council directed staff to return with recommendations for new building decarbonization and energy saving policies that comply with federal energy policy regulations. Staff is exploring and seeking City Council direction on the following local amendments to the California Building Code:
• New residential and nonresidential buildings (City Council may provide direction to pursue one of the following approaches)
o Energy performance approach: Require buildings to meet higher than state minimum energy performance goals, which, by the applicant’s choice, can be met through both natural gas and electric appliances. Buildings that install gas appliances should prepare for future electric appliances.
o Air quality approach: Require that buildings meet zero emission standards in alignment with Bay Area Air District air quality regulations. This standard cannot be met with gas appliances.
• Additions or major renovations to existing buildings: Require that additions or major renovations to single family homes or projects in existing multi-family and commercial buildings that require an electrical, mechanical permit or plumbing permit over a certain value include a set of energy efficiency and/or electrification measures that achieve an energy-saving target from a weighted menu of measures. Buildings that install gas appliances should prepare for future electric appliances.
• Minor renovations in existing buildings/time of replacement
o Encourage A/C units to also provide electric space heating when installing, relocating, or replacing existing units.
o Prepare for future electrification of appliances within scope of renovation when installing a gas appliance.
o Electric panel upgrades to reserve space for future electric appliances.
These proposed local policies are designed to be cost-effective, align with and extend the reach of enforcement of forthcoming State regulations, and meet federal energy policy regulations using a range of options.
Staff welcomes general feedback and comments on the developing 2024 CARP update and specifically is seeking Council input on:
• Community engagement efforts to-date (described above)
• Draft Vision, Goals and Strategies (Exhibit 2)
• Action plans for public EV Charging and Building Decarbonization.
2024 Zero Waste Implementation Plan Update
A main objective of the 2024 ZWIP Update is to further integrate zero waste within the Alameda community and into City plans and policies (e.g. General Plan, the CARP and Alameda’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging initiatives). This will create a holistic, integrated, long-term plan for Alameda, with a focus on moving beyond diversion to sustainability. The 2024 ZWIP update will have a menu of mid- and long-term programmatic options that balances goals and costs. The menu will include a cost-benefit analysis, prioritization of programs and policies, and evaluation of phased implementation to future-proof Alameda in achieving zero waste. Having a menu of options will allow the City to be flexible when circumstances dictate a short-term change in direction. Before recommending programs and their impact, staff needed to first hear from the community to understand challenges and opportunities in moving Alameda towards zero waste.
Community Engagement
The 2024 ZWIP Update has included significant community engagement to date with a focus on equity and inclusion to further build on Alameda’s zero waste culture and remove barriers that restrict certain populations from participating. This type of engagement is essential to build the social infrastructure needed to sustain engagement and zero waste culture with residents and businesses alike. Several engagement activities happened over the summer of 2024.
Five community meetings were held to provide an opportunity for the public to ask questions about, and provide feedback on, various strategies for reaching the City’s zero waste goals. Each meeting targeted a different audience and was promoted on the City’s social media and through community partners.
• Joint CARP and ZWIP Workshop, June 25
• Businesses/Commercial, July 10
• Community Based Organizations, July 15
• Youth/Families, July 17
• Community Based Organizations (virtual), August 26
Two focus groups were held to gain a deeper understanding of communities that have not previously been actively engaged in zero waste planning.
• Low income and unhoused, July 22
• Commercial and multi-tenant, July 24
Additional presentations to the business community were conducted in August given scheduling challenges with key stakeholders during the month of July.
• Alameda Chamber Government Relations and Economic Development Committee, August 14
• Downtown Alameda Business Association (DABA) Monthly Mixer, August 21
• West Alameda Business Association (WABA) Monthly Mixer, August 28
Two listening sessions with all City departments were held to better understand City staff needs, challenges, and opportunities related to zero waste. Departments that could not send a representative to the listening sessions were contacted after the meeting and asked to provide written feedback.
• Executive Assistants, Purchasing, and Community and Economic Development, August 20
• Operations, Maintenance, Streets, and Capital Improvement, August 20
A statistically valid resident survey was conducted in September. In keeping with the project’s equity and inclusion goals, the objective of this survey is to provide the City with an accurate and unbiased snapshot of the community’s attitudes towards zero waste policies and programs. A random sample of 350 of Alameda’s residents participated in telephone and online surveys over a period of 14 days. Demographic and geographic characteristics of survey respondents were carefully monitored during the data collection phase to ensure the final sample profile reflects the demographic makeup of the community.
The survey results, once fully compiled, will help the City understand the program and policy needs of all residents, including those that may not have been able to participate in the community meetings or focus groups, those that may be participating in zero waste but are not account holders, and those that have not been previously engaged or had a chance to weigh in. Understanding how people view and interact with zero waste efforts is a critical component for designing effective programs that will reach those not already active within the zero-waste community. Survey results and analysis will be included as part of the final ZWIP and used to inform program development.
To date, the below listed themes and priorities have been consistent from the community throughout the engagement process.
• Increase education and outreach to empower residents to successfully implement zero waste practices.
• Remove barriers to participation in current recycling programs and increase opportunities for diversion of more materials.
• Use both incentives and enforcement to ensure accountability.
• Provide more opportunities for reuse.
Draft 2024 ZWIP Update Focus Areas
Four primary focus areas for the 2024 ZWIP Update were determined based on stakeholder engagement and assessment of the City’s current diversion programs and policies. Draft program recommendations within each focus area are listed below. Programs that are in the final 2024 ZWIP Update will include implementation details, diversion potential and cost to implement.
1) Behavior Change
Programs in this focus area will concentrate on shifting individual behaviors to develop community capacity to engage in zero waste actions. Behavior change programs will increase access to recycling programs and remove barriers to participation. Draft program recommendations include:
• Utilize community-based marketing tools to identify barriers to participation in recycling programs by residents in multi-family buildings.
• Increase resources for small businesses to implement zero waste practices within their business operations.
• Enhance promotion of the City’s bulky item recycling services to increase participation, particularly in the multi-family sector.
2) Waste Reduction
Programs in this focus area will aim to reduce overall waste generation and the amount of material sent to landfill by increasing zero waste education in the community, improving management of materials that are difficult to recycle or dispose of, and implementing internal City practices to ensure the City is leading by example. Draft program recommendations to achieve these goals include:
• Increase awareness of zero waste practices and solutions with an Alameda Zero Waste rebrand.
• Improve zero-waste practices within City departments and establishing zero waste polices for City events.
• Enhance support systems for the low income and unhoused communities so they may be better equipped to manage personal property and items for disposal.
• Reduce instances of illegal dumping through increased access to proper recycling/disposal services and enforcement.
3) Reuse
Programs in this focus area will develop reuse infrastructure and capacity among businesses in Alameda, as well as remove barriers to utilizing reusable over disposable items. Draft program recommendations include:
• Support businesses in complying with the City’s Food Ware ordinance with a focus on transitioning to reusable service ware.
• Promote and increasing access to existing reuse markets.
• Support Bring-Your-Own initiatives through the development of pilot programs and necessary reuse infrastructure.
4) Construction and Demolition
Programs in this focus area will aim to enhance policies related to construction and demolition (C&D) materials management, as well as incentivize source reduction and best practices. Draft program recommendations include:
• Provide education and technical assistance to construction projects to support the implementation of best practices for waste diversion.
• Support, incentivize, and promote deconstruction. Deconstruction is the construction process of the dismantlement building components, specifically for reuse, repurposing, recycling, and waste management.
Draft Priority Programs
Of the above programs listed in the four priority areas, staff consider the following programs as essential elements to the 2024 ZWIP Update and initial priority programs that will be further developed for the final ZWIP. These programs each target materials that are difficult to recycle or dispose of and support the ZWIP’s equity goals by engaging community groups with the least access to zero waste services and programs. Equity scans are being performed on these key programs for the 2024 ZWIP Update. Equity scans are an analysis conducted on specific programs to identify all impacted stakeholders, the level of positive or negative impact for each stakeholder group, challenges or barriers to participation, and solutions to mitigate inequitable challenges and inequitable distribution of impacts. The results of the scan are used to refine program implementation plans and will identify implementation strategies to ensure equitable access to programs and benefits.
1) Bulky item program enhancement:
Alameda’s residential bulky item collection (sometimes referred to as on-call cleanup) is a once annual collection of materials performed by ACI outside of a customer’s typical weekly service. The current program allows single and multi-family residential customers to place up to three cubic yards of materials, including large items and items for reuse, at the curb for collection at no cost. The current residential bulky item collection service offered by ACI has about a 40% utilization rate. Through stakeholder engagement, staff learned that many people are unaware of the program or how to use it. Without proper access to or knowledge of how to dispose of bulky items, many materials end up on the street as abandoned waste or are otherwise disposed of improperly.
This action would target outreach and education for tenants of multi-family buildings first. Additional opportunities to enhance this program include:
• Increase education and outreach through a community based social marketing (CBSM) campaign. CBSM campaigns begin with strategic research to understand the barriers and challenges to participation and develop programs targeted to overcome those barriers.
• Host bulky drop-off event days.
• Provide discounted or free drop-off of bulky materials at designated transfer stations.
• Expand the current program, which only includes residential, to also include commercial customers.
2) Illegal dumping management:
Illegal dumping is an ongoing challenge, with debris such as furniture, mattresses and appliances left out on the sidewalks near homes, schools and places of business. Materials dumped on private property are a challenge for property owners and often have cost implications. While the City has a program to pick up illegal dumping on public property, there is not an effective enforcement program to deter the activity.
Access to disposal services is essential for decreasing illegal dumping. In tandem with the programs to increase access to bulky item recycling services, a comprehensive enforcement program to deter illegal dumping is needed.
3) Low income and unhoused community support:
Unhoused and low-income individuals face many day-to-day challenges. As a result, many people do not have the capacity to manage their waste properly. Additionally, current zero waste programs and services were mostly developed with certain assumptions related to ability, income, and housing status in mind. These assumptions often do not consider the unique needs of unhoused and low-income communities and therefore unintentionally may have barriers to participation.
Options under consideration to best support this community include:
• Implement a “cash for trash” type program, similar to models used in other cities (San Jose, San Diego) where an organized trash pickup program would pay participants (e.g. with gift cards) for materials collected.
• Increase access to reuse programs through vouchers, education, and other necessary resources (e.g. transportation).
• In partnership with other City Departments, expand existing cleanup efforts to incorporate additional reuse and recycling opportunities, including providing resources to conduct self-cleanups.
Staff welcome general feedback on the developing 2024 ZWIP Update and specifically are seeking input on the draft focus areas and priority programs.
An amendment to the HF&H consultant agreement is proposed as a consent item on the regular agenda tonight. A term extension is needed along with minor adjustments to the scope and budget to ensure completion of the final 2024 ZWIP Update.
ALTERNATIVES
• Provide feedback on planning efforts to date.
• Request more time to review the status report before commenting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact to the City from the CARP and ZWIP updates. Individual projects recommended by the plans will be brought to City Council separately for approvals and funding as needed.
MUNICIPAL CODE/POLICY DOCUMENT CROSS REFERENCE
This action is consistent with Alameda Municipal Code Chapter 21, Solid Waste and Recycling and the City of Alameda CARP (2019), the Climate Adaptation and Hazard Mitigation Plan (2022), the General Plan (2022), ZWIPs (2010, 2018), and the City’s Strategic Plan (2023) for Project CC1 to update 5-Year Climate Action and Resiliency Plan including greenhouse gas emission inventory and Project CC9 to update the Zero Waste Implementation Plan and provide public technical assistance.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In accordance with CEQA, this project is categorically exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment). The ZWIP and CARP are intended to guide the City in the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, thus protecting the environment.
CLIMATE IMPACT
The CARP assumes full implementation of the reductions in GHG emissions through 2030 through actions in transportation, building energy, waste, water, and wastewater. Implementation of the ZWIP will further allow Alameda to divert waste, including organics, from the landfill, which reduces methane emissions. The importance of reducing methane emissions from municipal waste sent to the landfill is codified in California’s Senate Bill 1383 passed in 2016.
