This "earth" component of the pro�•am is already underway with decisions like the recent policy to ban "sryro- foam" at Ciry facilities and the purchase of Compressed Nariu�al Gas vehicles for the City's street sweeping fleet.

The Initiative's goal is to make the Inland Empire a center of green technology that emphasizes balanced, sustainable economic and community development to create jobs and improve qualiry of life. On February 6, 2008, the City Council voted to participate in the Green Valley Initiative, and to link the effort with the new Healthy Cities Program.A regional leader for years, the City already operates a number of programs that meet the criteria for the Initiative. Council voted to strengthen and enhance these efforts and to incorporate green initiatives into the General Plan Update. Rancho Cucamonga akeady encourages the installation of solar and alternative energy equipment on residences and commercial developments.The Ciry has seen a recent upswing ui people applyulg to construct "green° build'ulgs using recycled materials and structures that are certified under the "Leadership in Energy and esign (L ) program. e Ciry is now exploring ways to encourage LEED/Green buildings in the City. Incentives under consideration include streamlined review processes or reduced permit fees. The City encourages recycling and the preservation of historic resources through a wide range of programs. In fact, the Historic Preservation Ordinance is currently being updated to encourage retrofitting historic structures to comply with the Green Building program. In addition to respecting the historic features of a building, preserving existing resources conserves natural resources. Other established Ciry programs that meet the policies of the Green Valley Initiative include the Construction and Demolition Waste Diversion Program, the citywide recyding program � "� � �a� _� (Household Hazardous ""�'� �`" ., ,;-r� Waste, Electronic Waste, and Sharps Collection for medical waste), and the banned use of pol5�styrene (Styrofoam) products at all City facilities, and Ciry sponsored events and programs.The Ciry is also developing policies to replace e�sting diesel heavy equipment with com- pressed natural gas equipment to reduce emissions and greenhouse gases consistent with State and Federal mandates.The Ciry is currently replacing older fleet cars with hybrid and clean fuel vehicles. � : ��'`'�` �,, � , .,� �� k.� �� i ,�� t�� e � �',. ��°i a ��, �� '$ , �; _� ; � I�blic Input Sou�l�t fo �e ra� �Yan �pc�.ate Rancho Cucamonga has launched the nearly two-year-long process environmental policies, and Global Warming are key among new of updating the City's General Plan and is now gathering important issues to be addressed. public input. The City's General Plan is a critical document—a map for the future, the master blueprint that guides change and development.The Ciry has hired the highly regarded Southern California planning firm of Hogle-Ireland to prepare its General Plan Update.The process commenced in December of 2007 and a completed document is expected to be presented for consideration by the City Council by late 2009. Rancho Cucamonga regards public input as vital for its General Plan Update process.Through the end of summer 2008, the City will be implementing a wide range of public outreach initiatives. These include stakeholder interviews, General P1anAdvisory Cominittee meetings, visioning workshops, a public opinion survey, community workshops, and land use workshops. When the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan was last revised in 2001, it created a high quality vision for a community then facing rapid growth and experiencing major development.The City is now transitioning from rapid growth to maturity. ��s Rancho Cucamonga—now at least 90% buIlt-out—faces new issues and needs to consider goals, policies, and laws for a"mature ciry."

Please give carefiil consicteration to animals when planning for a potential disaster. Pets c�epend on us for their well-being.

Inchide bowls, a can opener, cat litter and tray for a makeshift litter box (aluminum roasting pans are perfect). If 5�our pet requires medication, include appropriate dosage as well. • Write down contact information for your veterinarian, a copy of your pet's vaccination record, details about your peYs feeding schedule and contact information for your designated caregiver who is willing to take temporary cus- tody of your pet.Attach this information to the pet carrier in a waterproof, chew-resistant bag. • Carry photos of you and your pet in your wallet far identification purposes. iR��i'�' 'I"O Y)O �&' �OCT�t �'E'�' IS F.OS�' If you are separated from your pet during or after a disaster, immediately call or visit the Rancho Cucamonga Animai Care and Adoption Center and other local shelters.

Trap, Neuter and Release: The Humane Solution for Feral Cat Colonies in Raricho Unlike an abandoned cat tame enough for adoption, a feral cat is completely unsocialized, fears human contact, and is content living outside.Attempts to convert a feral cat into a house pet typicalty fail, despite good intentions and great efforts. The traditional approach is to bring feral cat colonies into an animal shelter for euthanasia.This obviously does not ben efit the animals, and it also does not solve the problem. Other cats move in to take advantage of newly available resources where the removed colony once lived.The new cats begin to breed, thus restarting the cycle. The best solution to manage feral cat colonies and improve their lives is known as trap-neuter-release, orTNR.TNR is a nonlethal method in which cats are pain- lessly trapped, vaccinated, spayed or - neutered, and returned to their colony site, where caretakers provide them with food, water and shelter.TNR puts a stop to breedmg ,;,�- - � �� ,.: �� .. �'� ._ � ;.� �R. � +" � , ..- . , ___ _---=--�" C ca on�a improves the health of the cats through vaccination and provides regular meals for feral cats.This cycle of care Uenefits both the cats and the communiry.
