Commissioners extending the Climate Change Advisory Committee (CCAC) to allow the members
to continue making recommendations regarding climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies.
A new sunset date of October 1, 2019 is established.
ITEM BACKGROUND: This is a continuation of the BOCC efforts that began with the Green
Initiative Task Force and the current CCAC. This committee will continue to assist the County in
addressing coordinating strategies for addressing climate change impacts, particularly mitigation and
adaptation strategies.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
On June 18, 2008, Resolution No. 177 -2008 established the creation of an advisory board to
recommend green standards to be adopted as local technical amendments into the Florida
Building Code.
On April 15, 2009, Resolution 121 -2009 renamed the task force the Green Initiative Task Force
and changed its focus to providing recommendations to the BOCC of environmentally sound
practices and techniques to protect the environment. The Green Initiative Task Force was sunset
on October 1, 2010.
On September 15, 2010 the BOCC requested staff to prepare a resolution for consideration in
January, 2011 for establishment of a new advisory panel to continue the efforts started by the
previous board.
On January 19, 2011 the BOCC authorized Resolution 002 - 2011 to establish the CCAC, and
authorized them to make recommendations regarding climate change mitigation and adaptation
strategies. The sunset date was set for October 1, 2013.
On March 20, 2013, the BOCC accepted the draft Climate Action Plan as prepared by the CCAC.
On September 17, 2013, the final Climate Action Plan was presented to the BOCC for final
approval and acceptance.
The BOCC authorized two resolutions to extend the CCAC, and authorized them to make
recommendations regarding climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. The sunset
date was set for October 1, 2017.
