Hello TCLocal observers,

My apologies for the delay in sharing this -- it's been a very
busy week for me.

Hello Energy and GHG Focus Group Attendee,
We have finished compiling our notes from our six focus groups, June
5th public meeting, interviews, emails, and other local meetings related
to energy and greenhouse gas emissions. As promised during the focus
group meetings, we are attaching the long list of information and ideas
that we gathered from the many community members who have participated
in these discussions. This information, along with relevant studies and
research, will serve as a strong base for developing our Comprehensive
Plan element.

We also want to take this opportunity to update you regarding a
significant change in our findings for energy use and emissions at the
County level. During recent review of previous emissions inventories,
we noted an error in earlier calculations that we have now corrected in
our County transportation model. The new calculations show much higher
transportation energy use and emissions than was previously reported and
presented at our June 5th public meeting. This, in turn, affected the
overall ratios of energy use and emissions by sector and energy source
and will likely have policy implications which will be incorporated into
the element. The second attachment below outlines these changes.

Should you have any questions or comments regarding these documents in
the next week, please send them to Katie Borgella at
kborgella AT tompkins-co.org as I will be out of town until 7/21/08.

Thank you again for your continuing interest in our development of a
County Comprehensive Plan Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions element.
