Council asked the commission to revise the work plan to align it tightly with the general plan’s safety element and the city’s strategic plan, to identify specific public‑safety hazards and measurable outcomes, and to return a revised work plan by July 1.

Chief Gordon told commissioners the March 12 council discussion emphasized the need to prioritize public safety elements, including specific hazards such as pandemics, mental‑health considerations and homelessness as public‑safety issues, and to give focus to wildfire preparedness. “This motion … called for alignment with the current strategic plan and public safety element,” Chief Gordon said, summarizing Council’s direction.

Council members, the chief said, recognized the wildfire preparedness effort as a large near‑term task and pushed the work‑plan deadline to July 1 to allow that work to proceed. The commission discussed scheduling a full work‑plan review at its June 16 regular meeting so commissioners could prepare recommended changes and consider feedback from Council.

Commissioners said they would focus the June discussion on how to narrow the work plan to achievable items given the six‑month period and highlighted the need for measurable deliverables. Several commissioners asked staff to provide the current strategic plan and any council feedback on the 2024 work‑plan submission to help craft the 2025 revision. Chief Gordon said staff would share the strategic plan and work with commissioners to capture Council feedback.

The commission did not adopt a final revised work plan at the meeting; members agreed to return with a narrowed proposal at the June 16 meeting and to prioritize the wildfire preparedness project in the near term.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Encinitas Public Health & Safety Commission Meeting Live Stream 03/17/2025","oneSentenceSummary","City Council asked the Public Health and Safety Commission to align its 2025 work plan with the general plan’s safety element, strategic plan and to return a narrowed, measurable work plan by July 1; the commission agreed to discuss revisions at its June meeting.","taxTitle","Encinitas, San Diego County, California","taxId",3828,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6633106,"Encinitas commission approves wildfire preparedness survey; workshop set for Saturday",2866,2949660,5816080,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2666037-c10438e43618798f2ec0952b2498a626&start=2949&end=5816","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2666037-c10438e43618798f2ec0952b2498a626/thumbnail_2949660.jpg","/articles/6633106/Encinitas/San-Diego-County/California/Encinitas-commission-approves-wildfire-preparedness-survey-workshop-set-for-Saturday","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6633106-634f88218785c0c39f66d0d1b447367d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141177&Signature=j3DohBxP3FnOOZAsXKF4sweQgYMrUMtdahzpjy9fU2f0t0gr6ZZGPlyr2-iUFd1ZUd5mtSKdxryIYwNULJHoNbKK3rUELn3aJvi1ft5vf5vLWfyfoGiKIB2hgnx1cwMNG~SOsA3kuWeVVsiyts~o~gklgIfl2bMof9zEZ5EXLyOhEkYkOI32vGuDbOPYMXoyxeyv1wSmsrW-CKk7xPWYaj5gZ819yAdHIqTE1YPUVcdVIbShnL9C7SGaq8YuiPmV~TiV73wR-SvAw-yYHqZ03o2qgMMuE0C8-Ki0u~gGrX3TSOxBtDJUfE~eVp5Ky6N3Ef7ulpPueJU0Zr~57CS~oQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Encinitas Public Health and Safety Commission voted to adopt a set of wildfire preparedness survey questions and approved staff’s plan for a community workshop and public outreach. Commissioner Vaughn moved to accept the questions as amended in discussion; the motion was seconded and passed.

Fire Chief Gordon (referred to in the meeting as Chief Gordon) and the city’s emergency manager described the survey and how staff intend to distribute it. Chief Gordon said staff recommended adopting the survey questions that night: “One of the things that we'll ask as a recommended action is to adopt the wildfire preparing our survey questions tonight,” he said. The survey mixes Likert‑scale items, multiple‑choice drop‑downs and narrative text fields to collect information on communication channels, evacuation knowledge, household preparedness, barriers to action, perceptions of emergency response, and neighborhood readiness.

Staff explained distribution plans that include a workshop at the senior center, flyers and business‑card sized handouts with a QR code and a web link, posting the survey on the city website, social media notices, a banner at fire stations, and outreach through the Olivenhain/Leavenhain Fire Safe Council and neighborhood ambassadors. The emergency manager said the Fire Safe Council will distribute the survey to its mailing list (about 1,300 contacts) and that neighborhood ambassadors would conduct door‑to‑door outreach in their areas.

Commissioners discussed survey content and wording. Several commissioners recommended changes: replacing an individual “age” question with household age‑range options; clarifying that responses can be per household; listing common alert channels such as text, TV, social media, city website, reverse‑911/cell‑phone emergency alerts and word‑of‑mouth; and offering a Spanish translation of materials. Staff said they would add a household age‑range field and produce Spanish flyers and a Spanish version of the survey; additional language translations were deferred because of time and staffing constraints.

Commissioners also recommended adding neighborhood‑specific outreach (HOAs, senior center, high‑traffic storefronts) and asked staff to consider a question that would allow respondents to report current local fire hazards. Staff cautioned that an open question about neighbors’ yards or hazards could generate large numbers of complaints that staff would need to vet; they proposed placing such an item under “additional feedback” so it could be reviewed.

Chief Gordon and Deputy Fire Chief Jorge Sanchez described recruitment and outreach efforts the fire department is using to increase department diversity and staffing, including sponsoring fire‑academy positions, an explorer/reserve program, and partnerships with Miramar College and local high schools. That discussion followed questions about the department’s outreach successes and constraints, including limited staff time and budget for large recruitment campaigns.

Staff said the workshop will be a special meeting and will run longer than the usual agenda time: they plan to open at 9 a.m., extend to noon, and hold the workshop in the senior center’s large meeting room. The format will use large city maps with push‑pins so attendees can mark where they live, Post‑it stations for quick comments, and facilitated breakout tables matching the survey topics. Staff said facilitators and scribes—city personnel and fire staff—will be available at each table.

The commission approved the survey as amended and directed staff to finalize typographical and minor wording edits offline. Staff will post the survey on the city landing page, distribute printed flyers and business cards, and coordinate outreach with the Fire Safe Council and neighborhood ambassadors. Staff also said the survey results will be used alongside workshop notes and public input to inform future commission reports.

The meeting record shows the motion to adopt the survey questions passed; commissioners did not record a roll‑call vote in the transcript excerpt provided, but the chair announced, “Motion passes.”","The Public Health and Safety Commission voted to adopt wildfire preparedness survey questions and will hold a community workshop; staff and fire department leaders outlined distribution plans and language/access considerations.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6633112,"Encinitas staff unveils draft 2025 Climate Action Plan, aims for 2030 and 2045 emission cuts",551,168050,719640,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2666037-c10438e43618798f2ec0952b2498a626&start=168&end=719","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2666037-c10438e43618798f2ec0952b2498a626/thumbnail_168050.jpg","/articles/6633112/Encinitas/San-Diego-County/California/Encinitas-staff-unveils-draft-2025-Climate-Action-Plan-aims-for-2030-and-2045-emission-cuts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6633112-525139c0b83807948973a9c31ee4c082/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141177&Signature=LZesl4r2dDIC2QYIac2HK~nl9xMaWbPQ7YxeWOxFMzC-dzLPIeNs3Fay5C7hha3OY~OxIUmnByfkYmz90GIX7TwrI-l6c3Jl03w0OLWEUry5-ZsybW544lRe7POduLub4poI1Wu4u1s52FbnYpy52hNR9kH4jaH9yQxTthcKTcYbWBycjfBnbimunYeQS2Ph8NAoq5P8PhM4GZuL1EeaGlIvu8-DK3jpUdsR3uTohIkBI4mKvRQ-SdTbJujLrA3VbWuEA2yHv5Y~etT6f8fdkMog4AXZDix-9T70b~8tWvNH3xkuUlFkPTI7Y9MT~P8dlxDyKqzmoMhOsls6Rcir0w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ryan Lampkin, the city’s sustainability analyst, presented the draft 2025 Climate Action Plan update to the Public Health and Safety Commission, saying the plan uses 2016 as the baseline year and lays out targets to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions 40% below 2016 levels by 2030 and 85% by 2045.

The plan, Lampkin told commissioners, includes an emissions inventory, a forecast that accounts for federal and state reductions, and a menu of measures the city could adopt to close the remaining emissions gap. “My name is Ryan Lampkin. I’m the city’s sustainability analyst, and I’m excited to present the draft Climate Action Plan update to you all,” Lampkin said at the start of his presentation.

Lampkin said the 2016 baseline shows Encinitas emitted about 381,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent and identified on-road transportation as the largest source. Staff and the project consultant modeled a “business-as-usual” forecast and overlaid state and federal policy-driven reductions; the plan then attributes the remaining gray area on the chart to local measures the city would need to implement to meet the 2030 and 2045 goals.

The draft organizes local work into seven high-level strategies—building decarbonization, renewable and zero‑emission electricity, water efficiency, clean and efficient transportation, zero‑emission equipment, zero waste, and carbon sequestration—and 32 quantified emission‑reduction measures. Lampkin said, if fully implemented and if each measure realized its modeled reduction potential, the city could reach the draft’s 2030 and 2045 targets.

The draft also incorporates a Climate Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Framework developed for the city’s 2023 safety element update and uses the CAL‑ADAPT tool. Lampkin summarized projections from that assessment including a projected increase in average annual temperature of roughly 4.3–7.3°F by the end of the century, more extreme heat days, higher wildfire risk (he noted about 35% of Encinitas lies in a very‑high fire hazard severity zone), storm‑driven flooding and landslide/liquefaction concerns, and a mid‑century sea‑level‑rise probability estimate cited in the vulnerability assessment.

Commissioners pressed staff on priorities, implementation and sequencing. Commissioner Selden emphasized wildfire prevention as central to local climate resilience. Lampkin said the plan’s carbon‑sequestration measures can be tailored by risk zone—for example, using LiDAR tree‑canopy analysis to set different goals for high wildfire‑risk neighborhoods. Commissioners also asked whether the seven strategies were ordered by impact; Lampkin replied the list was not ranked by impact but reflected how the consultant organized measures.

On buildings and development, Lampkin pointed to measures addressing energy efficiency and gas‑free new construction (BD1–BD4), requirements for EV charging and EV‑ready residential infrastructure (CET6–CET7), pre‑plumbing for graywater in single‑family homes (WE2), and enforcement of landscape tree requirements (CS2). He said many measures build on existing codes and could be expanded.

Lampkin outlined next steps: an implementation cost analysis (expected before the final CAP is adopted), a public comment period open through April 11, a final public workshop April 8, city council consideration of the draft on April 16, and the environmental clearance and final CAP adoption anticipated through late May. He said staff planned to return a final draft to the commission and then to City Council for adoption.

The presentation materials and the draft plan are posted on the city website for public review, Lampkin said. Commissioners and members of the public will have opportunities to submit comments during the posted public‑comment window and at upcoming workshops and hearings.

Lampkin’s presentation and the draft plan focused on the quantified measures that would be needed to meet the state‑aligned targets; the commission’s discussion highlighted wildfire risk, implementation sequencing, coordination with other departments and the need for clearer analysis of budget and staffing to carry out the measures.","City sustainability staff presented a draft update to Encinitas' Climate Action Plan that uses 2016 as a baseline and sets targets of 40% reduction by 2030 and 85% by 2045 if proposed measures are implemented.","actionData","errors"]
