Megan .Jamieson will be the Project Manager assigned to this project. Below are <br />summaries of three projects she has completed within the last five years. <br />4.1 City of Mississauga, Ontario <br />Tluough the development of a Local Action Plan to reduce GHG emissions in municipal <br />operations and in the community, this study resulted in a recommended GHG emissions <br />reduction target. The plan included a comprehensive strategy to identify greenhouse gas <br />emission reduction measures; highlight programs and partners to deliver those reductions; <br />establish a community structure to co- ordinate programs delivering those reductions; and <br />forecast local benefits and the future impacts of GHGs, The study also contained a <br />communications plan, options for financing these activities, and a system to monitor and <br />verify the community's progress, <br />41 City of Chicago, Illinois <br />IES recently prepared a comprehensive, multi -year corporate inventory and compilation <br />of emission reduction measures for the City of Chicago. The corporate inventory <br />included a detailed analysis of energy consumption and cost data for 386 City buildings, <br />6,000 fleet vehicles, the City's entire stock of streetlights and traffic signals, and waste <br />produced from over 400 of the City's facilities. <br />The measures analysis focused on initiatives implemented by the City and other, agencies <br />that reduced emissions of GHGs and criteria air pollutants in both the corporate and <br />community sectors. IES identified and quantified a wide range of measures including <br />energy efficiency initiatives, fuel switching projects, and outreach and incentive <br />programs. <br />43 City of Santa Monica, California <br />IE.S is currently in the process of finalising the City of Santa Monica's Greenhouse Gas <br />Emissions Reduction Local Action Plan. The plan included a GHG emissions inventory, <br />forecast and a strategy for achieving GHG reductions in both internal City operations and <br />among the residential, commercial and industrial sectors of the community. A City staff <br />Project team was established to provide energy and waste data and suggest strategies for new <br />measures to be included in the Local Action Plan. The Local Action Planning process lead to <br />the recommendation of a community and corporate GHG emissions reduction target to be <br />approved and adopted by Council, <br />
