ATTACHMENT 1 <br /> <br />Partially Disagree: The City acknowledges that the Grand Jury interviews took place as noted in <br />the Report. However, the City has no knowledge of the results of those interviews and can <br />neither agree nor disagree with the finding. <br /> <br />F10. The County and cities can address SLR in their General Plans and Climate Action Plans, can <br />map the threat, and can adopt relevant policies. <br /> <br />Agree <br /> <br />F11. Many actions to address SLR are within the authority of regional, State, and federal <br />agencies. <br /> <br />Agree <br /> <br />F12. By acting now, SMC may be able to reduce future costs by integrating SLR-related projects <br />with other programmed levee projects, and by using land use planning measures to mitigate <br />future exposure to SLR. <br /> <br />Agree <br /> <br />Recommendations: <br /> <br />The City has reviewed the seven (7) recommendations in the Report and plans the following actions: <br /> <br />R1. The County, each city in the county and relevant local agencies should conduct a public education <br />effort to increase awareness of SLR and its potential effects on this county. <br /> <br />Will be Implemented: While the City agrees that public education on sea level rise is absolutely <br />necessary and beneficial, the City believes that a coordinated countywide public outreach effort <br />would be the most effective approach. A coordinated effort would allow the message to be <br />consistent, uniform and relevant. The City will support this effort and provide links on the City’s <br />website to the latest reports and findings on sea level rise. As this is a regional effort, the City cannot <br />provide a timeframe for implementation. <br /> <br />R2. The County, each city in the county and relevant local special agencies should identify a single <br />organization, such as a new joint powers authority or an expanded San Mateo County Flood Control <br />District, to undertake countywide sea level rise planning. <br /> <br />This recommendation requires further analysis: The City agrees that a regional approach is the <br />appropriate means to address sea level rise in the County. However, a regional-level discussion and <br />6.1.I. - Page 6
