Thank you for all that you are doing to make Redwood City a greener, healthier place to live! Your <br />hard work is much appreciated by me and other members of Fossil Free Mid -Peninsula! <br />I've been studying the Reach Codes (building codes for all new buildings) that the Menlo Park City <br />Council will be passing tomorrow (see attachment). I'm impressed that they have decided to require <br />that all new residential and non-residential buildings be all -electric (no gas for space heating, water <br />heating, etc), with very few exceptions. There's a table summarizing the requirements on page 4 of <br />the attached document. <br />Because Menlo Park has so thoroughly discussed and researched their Reach Codes (including a <br />cost effectiveness analysis), it would save the Redwood City city council members and your staff a <br />great deal of time and energy if they adopt similar Reach Codes for Redwood City. (In case the <br />attachment doesn't come through, there's a link to an earlier version of the Menlo reach code here, <br />from the city managers office.) <br />Adopting ambitious Reach Codes will have a great impact in reducing our carbon footprint, and <br />meeting Climate Action Plan goals. And, as you know, climate change/ sea level rise means <br />expensive infrastructure projects including sea walls. Taking decisive action now is an important <br />investment that will reduce the magnitude and expense of such infrastructure upgrades in the <br />future. Thank you for considering ambitious Reach Codes for Redwood City! <br />Sincerely, <br />Kathy Voss -Jensen <br />Professional Organizer <br />Redwood City, California <br />web I VossOrganizing.com <br />email I VossOrganizing(a)gmail.com <br />phone <br />1650.367.1202 <br />Yelp I Linkedln I Results <br />Creating space & serenity in your home <br />...and your life! <br />
