After receiving a report at a June 9, 2008 Council Workshop, Council passed a resolution that staff further explore a program to solicit private funding for municipal projects that will reduce GHG emissions in the community and develop a framework and details for consideration. As the District works toward becoming carbon neutral, new funding sources will need to be identified in order to implement energy efficient technologies that will result in a lower carbon footprint. The program highlighted in the June 9, 2008 report would allow local citizens and organizations to help fund municipal projects that will result in reduced GHG emissions. RECOMMENDATION: That the program outlined in the June 9, 2008 Council Workshop, Agenda Item 4.2, be implemented to solicit private funding for municipal projects that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the community.

The District of Maple Ridge is developing an Energy and Emissions Plan to identify opportunities to reduce the District's greenhouse gas emissions (or carbon footprint"), and prioritize them based on best value for the community. Here's where you come in. If you're taking a road trip, jetting off around the globe, or just becoming aware of the carbon footprint of your household or business, you may have thought about buying carbon offsets. Consider keeping your investment here in Maple Ridge instead, by donating to a local project that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in your own community. Fire Hall Number 1, located on the corner of Dewdney Trunk Road and 227 Street is about to undergo an expansion and major renovation, and the District is incorporating many 'green' technologies. The building will be certified by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system. Installing a geothermal heating and cooling system is just one of the features that will result in a reduced environmental impact, and will cost less to operate than a conventional system. The added bonus: greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced for years to come. Stay tuned for more innovative projects. With a suggested donation of $15 for each tonne of your own carbon, you'll be contributing to cleaner air in your own community! But wait - there's more! For every donation of $30 or more, we will issue you a tax receipt which you can use to lower your income taxes. ii RECONCILIATION EXISTING AREA : 9736 SFT ADDITION TO EXISTING: AREA 667 SFT PROPOSED AREA : 5828 SFT (NEW) ON IST FLOOR PROPOSED AREA : 6043 SFT ON 2ND FLOOR STORAGE : 484 SFT TOTAL NEW 13022 SFT GROSS AREA 22762SFT EWDnE flta.
