PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of Dublin has been invited by the Alameda County Waste Management Authority and Recycling
Board (ACWMA) to participate in a Sustainability Inventory Pilot Program being conducted by a non-
profit organization called the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI).
(Attachment 1) ICLEI is a membership organization of local governments and national and regional
government associations and is partnering with the Recycling Board to recruit participation in their new
program on sustainability.
The Pilot Program as proposed will involve four of the Recycling Board's member organizations in
Alameda County. The Sustainability Inventory is a list of questions that will establish a profile of a
community's resources and how they are being utilized. The questions are on a wide range of topics from
demographics to education, health and transportation to air and water quality. (Attachment 2)
It was concluded by Staff that if the City were to participate in the Sustainability Inventory Pilot Program,
it would have some, but limited, usefulness as part of the City's General Plan update process in the future.
Bearing that in mind, Community Development Department Staff reviewed the attached list of questions
proposed by ICLEI. So noted are those questions that would be relevant to the General Plan update
process and those that are outside the realm of the General Plan. Of the 144 questions proposed, Staff
estimated that 28 questions (19%) would provide information relevant to the General Plan update and 116
questions (81%) cover issues that are not typically included in the General Plan.
As described in the Memorandum of Understanding, the 'Sustainability Inventory Program as proposed
would have ICLEI doing the actual survey, but would require the designation of a City Staff person to
serve as coordinator for the program, steering ICLEI in the right direction for retrieving most of the
information from the appropriate City departments. This coordination function is estimated to be
apProximately 80 hours of Staff time.
However, the Memorandum of Understanding also refers to activities beyond the actual collection of
survey data that involve a greater obligation on the City's part and a larger commitment of Staff time. In
order to avoid over-extending Staff resources and jeopardizing the completion of programs and projects
the City Council has already set as high-priority items, Staff has prepared a Limited Scope Memorandum
of Understanding for the Sustainability Inventory Pilot Program for consideration. (Attachment 3)
Attachment 4 outlines the ambitious Community Development Department Staff Work Plan for FY
2002/2003. Adding another item to this list will likely slow down the progress of completing the other
tasks unless the City Council defers items until the proposed Sustainability Inventory Pilot Program has
been completed.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive Staff presentation and public testimony, question Staff
and the public, and either:
1. Do not authorize participation in the Sustainability Inventory Pilot Program,
2. Authorize limited participation in the Sustainability Inventory Pilot Program, approve the
Memorandum of Understanding (Limited Scope), and determine which Community Development
Department projects in the FY 2002/2003 Work Plan should be deferred, or
3. Authorize participation in the Sustainability Inventory Pilot Program as proposed by ACWMA and
ICLEI, approve the Memorandum of Understanding as proposed by ACWMA and ICLEI, and
determine which Community Development Department projects in the FY 2002/2003 Work Plan
should be deferred.

Mayor Janet Lockhart
City of Dublin
100 Civic Plaza
Dublin, CA 94568
Dear Mayor Lockhart,~
At the Alameda County Waste Management Authority and Recycling Board's recent conference, "Why
Throw It Away? Practical Strategies for Resource Stewardship", we announced a unique' opportunity for four
of our member agencies to receive technical support to complete a city-specific Sustainability Inventory.
You or your staff have expressed interest in being one of the first jurisdictions to undertake this process.
The purpose of this letter and informational packet is to: 1) clarify the opportunity offered and the
commitments required; 2) to describe the assistance and deliverables expected in more detail; and 3) to
identify the next steps to be taken to carry out this project in your community.
What Is A Sustainability Inventory?
The Sustainability Inventory establishes a factUal profile of a community's natural, social and economic
resources. This profile can be used to set goals and targets to move toward a more sustainable community.
Additional information on the benefits of a Sustainability Inventory is attached.
Who Will Do The Work?
The locally based International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) is a non-profit
organization that serves a worldwide movement of local governments who are committed to achieving
tangible improvements in global environmental and sustainable development conditions through cumulative
local actions. ICLEI will collect the bulk of the data required to complete a Sustainability Inventory and
assist with developing targets for the project. We ask that you appoint a contact person in your municipality
to assist us in our data collection process. ICLEI's previous experience with the Inventory has shown that
some mid to senior level staff involvement is necessary for the success of this project.
How Do We Proceed?
In Order to accept our offer of assistance, we ask that you review the attached '~Offer of Technical
· Assistance" and a couple of sample sections from the Inventory to determine if your jurisdiction can commit
to completing a Sustainability Inventory at this time. If you have further questions, please contact Rory
Bakke of the ACWMA/RB at (510) 614-1699 or via email at rbakke(~stopwaste.org. If you would like to
schedule a brief introductory session on the Sustainability Inventory at your City offices, please contact
Allison Quaid at ICLEI at (510) 540-8843 x312 or via einail at Aquaid~iclei.org.
Thank you for your interest and in leading the way to a more sustainable Alameda County.
Sincerely yours,
Karen Smith Rory Bakke
Executive Director Senior Program Manager
