We are <br />requesting the postponement of purchasing these gas -powered vehicles for our fleet. We have clean <br />electric (and hybrid) alternatives whereas gas -powered vehicles cause carbon pollution. Such an <br />investment seems inconsistent with our city's admirable Climate Action Plan goals. <br />The GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid is one type of hybrid pickup truck available now, and electric pickup <br />trucks are expected in 1-2 years. Meanwhile, several models of hybrid and all -electric SUVs are <br />available as an alternative. <br />We appreciate your commitment to reducing air pollution and reducing Redwood City's carbon <br />footprint as demonstrated by our Climate Action Plan. <br />Respectfully, <br />Jay and Laurel Bergman <br />
