The workshop will be held at a Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Commission meeting.

The workshop will be an open public forum designed to promote quality interaction through large and small group discussions, prioritization exercises, and comment sheets. The comment sheets will be provided at the workshops for use by persons who are not comfortable with public speaking, to capture additional comments as they arise, and for additional outreach throughout the course of the project. The consultant will record the comments received and incorporate them into the needs assessment.
Community Workshop. The consultant will plan and execute a community workshop that is geared toward brainstorming ideas and gauging community support and priorities for potential GHG reduction strategies. The exact structure and content of the community workshop will be determined with staff, but based upon the consultant’s experience, X’Xxxxxx & Associates proposes consideration of the following format: • A brief presentation that provides an overview of climate change, State goals and legislation to reduce GHG emissions, the Saratoga community’s GHG emissions (sources and trends), how emissions are expected to rise over time, and the reduction needed to reach State targets. • Individual stations for participants to visit at their own pace, engage in conversation with the consultant, staff, and agency representatives, and record their preferences for potential reduction strategies. Each station would be devoted to one CAP topic area, e.g.: Low Carbon Transportation, Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, Waste Reduction, Natural Systems and Sequestration, and Adaptation. Graphic displays would communicate trends and issues related to the CAP topic area, and recording paper will allow participants to select preferred reduction strategies through a dot exercise. Deliverables: PowerPoint presentation and workshop materials and displays TASK 9.
