AGENDA CAPTION:

Present Silver Fleet Award To The Town Of Addison From The North Central Texas Council Of Governments.

BACKGROUND:

On December 15^th at the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) DFW Clean Cities Annual meeting, the Town of Addison was recognized and awarded the Silver Fleet Award for our contributions to reducing petroleum consumption and improving air quality in the North Texas region.

The Town is a stakeholder in the Clean Air Coalition through our Clean Fleet Policy. Annually we submit to the NCTCOG our comprehensive fleet data that includes our vehicle emissions, number of vehicles-right sized fleet, types, usage, off road equipment, fuels used, fuel consumption, etc. The NCTCOG takes the data along with all the other cities and private sector entities who are stakeholders to determine the effectiveness of the program for reducing emissions, fuel consumption, carbon footprint, etc. This data goes to the U.S. Department of Energy to provide an indicator to them as to how well this region is doing to remove us from being a non-attainment region when it comes to clean air.

Last year, the NCTCOG initiated a Fleet Award Program with award levels of Gold, Silver, and Bronze that are based on obtaining points for all of the categories of data collected from the various fleets.

Staff is proud to share that the Town of Addison has won the Silver Fleet Award for 2015 for contributions to reducing petroleum consumption and improving air quality. Of all the stakeholder cities, no city received Gold, two received Silver and four received Bronze.
