This program is building a dynamic community around ridesharing to better utilize the existing transportation capacity that we have and reduce congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. Climate Protection Campaign has partnered with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, Sonoma County Transportation Authority, Avego, Sonoma State University, Santa Rosa Junior College and numerous businesses to promote WeGo Rideshare in Sonoma, Marin and Contra Costa Counties. 157404 183747 ECO2school (formerly Cool Schools): We added a new web component to our successful service learning program in high schools which helps students reduce their carbon footprint associated with their commute to school. Now students can log their walking and biking trips to school during our Commute Challenge, see how they are doing compared to other schools, and see how many calories that they have burned and greenhouse gas emissions that they have reduced. We will run the challenge in seven schools in the coming year and are planning to expand the program into other parts of the Bay Area. 85768 52264 Renewable Energy Program: In 2012 Climate Protection Campaign worked with the Sonoma County Water Agency, Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Regional Climate Protection Authority to complete a three year research effort on developing local renewable power (distributed generation) at scale featuring a community choice aggregation. This work was funded by a $1 million grant from the California Energy Commission Renewable Energy Secure Communities (RESCO) program. 240758 87307 674713 true true false true false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 17 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true false true true true false CA X Barry Vesser 7075251665 520 Mendocino Avenue Suite 260 Santa Rosa CA 95404 Natasha Granoff 1.00 0.00 0 0 0 Larry Robinson 0.75 0.00 0 0 0 Richard Power 0.75 0.00 0 0 0 Carl Mears 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jane Bender 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim McGreen 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Martha Kowalick 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dick Dowd 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy Goodacre 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lawrence Jaffe 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ann Hancock 40.00 0.00 X 56000 0 0 56000 0 false false false 0 403867 403867 other income 9737 9737 event revenue 7653 7653 contracts 499499 499499 516889 127 127 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 920883 516889 127 X 0 0 0 0 56000 37184 6185 12631 0 463619 358940 42243 62436 0 0 45295 36089 3127 6079 0 0 0 0 0 0 191567 171282 15006 5279 282 282 0 0 0 24591 24591 4955 3279 133 1543 0 1105 1105 0 0 1626 1626 7165 7165 Meals and Refreshments 5086 2989 1178 919 telecommunications 5237 1180 4057 INVENTORY ADJUSTMENT 12424 12424 supplies and equipment 30374 15523 14361 490 19853 46860 -35448 8441 869179 674713 96648 97818 170322 118610 0 0 80436 127931 0 0 0 61608 49184 0 9146 6072 4700 3074 0 12134 15800 0 0 0 329200 314599 18814 50941 98432 117246 50941 X 150346 180029 61608 83629 211954 263658 329200 314599 51704 X false false false X 175224 251381 265873 231240 304115 1227833 524984 285825 279225 301902 516889 1908825 0 0 0 700208 537206 545098 533142 821004 3136658 5000 5000 10000 0 5000 5000 10000 3126658 847 165 11 51 128 1202 0 847 165 11 51 128 1202 0 0 701055 537371 545109 533193 821132 3137860 0.99640 0.99770 0.00040 0.00070 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 120 1302 1422 855333 856755 153513 38378 false 100527 101707 101045 153513 456792 685188 3739 1858 2786 1858 10241 25427 25132 25261 38378 114198 171297 970 162 623 162 1917 1 10000 12424 49184 true true 9146 6072 3074 3074 15800 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available All are available upon request Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees The Human Resource Committee of the board directed staff to use the "Fair Pay for Northern California Nonprofits, the 2011 Compensation & Benefits Survey" and do a survey of the compensation levels and position descriptions for 3 similar local nonprofits.

It is a public-private partnership where the existing investor-owned utility maintains transmission lines, and Sonoma CleanPower sets electricity rates, procures power to meet the load including developing local renewable energy. This approach promises to provide tremendous advantages in addition to greenhouse gas emission reduction such as rate stability, stimulation of local the economy, a more resilient energy system, green job creation, and energy policy that can cause an explosion of renewable energy development. In 2012 the Campaign spearheaded a movement that culminated in the Sonoma County Board Supervisors creating the organization structure for Sonoma Clean Power. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: ECO2school (formerly Cool Schools): We added a new web component to our successful service learning program in high schools which helps students reduce their carbon footprint associated with their commute to school. Now students can log their walking and biking trips to school during our Commute Challenge, see how they are doing compared to other schools, and see how many calories that they have burned and greenhouse gas emissions that they have reduced. We will run the challenge in seven schools in the coming year and are planning to expand the program into other parts of the Bay Area. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Conserve and Capture - Solid Waste & Agriculture: CPC has continued to participate in a process to reduce organic waste going in to the county landfill. We continued to convene stakeholders to develop solutions for the solid waste system which was in the throes of being redesigned. We also conducted an organic waste diversion study with the city of Sebastopol funded through a California Supplemental Environmental Program grant. The results indicated that further study is needed to identify critical factors for diverting food scraps from waste being landfilled to waste going into the green bin to become compost.In 2012 CPC worked with local stakeholders in the agriculture and open space communities to research potential solutions that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We identified the highest leverage opportunity reducing emissions from livestock. Because we were unable to find a cost-effective way to impact emissions in this area, we suspended work in this sector for the present. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Tracking Progress: As we have for the past five years, the Climate Protection Campaign produced a report card of Sonoma Countys greenhouse gas emissions. The report shows emissions by sector (transportation, electricity, natural gas, solid waste, and agriculture), the overall trend since 1990, and compares overall emissions to Sonoma Countys 25% GHG reduction target for 2015.
