June 15, 2009 - Other Task Force Reports

Instead of choosing one particular focus area for the first task force meeting, it was decided that we wanted to give a more general introduction and welcome to the process. We showed a presentation on the timeline, populations, key findings, and common themes from previous Peak Oil Task Force reports already completed around the world. Based on the database of municipal actions at www.postcarboncities.net we reviewed and summarized the task force reports (pdf slideshow is attached) from these municipalities:

• Alachua County, Florida, USA
• Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
• Berkeley, California, USA
• Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
• Connecticut, USA
• Darebin, Victoria, Australia
• Haines, Alaska, USA
• Oakland, California, USA
• Portland, Oregon, USA
• San Francisco, California, USA
• Sebastapol, California, USA
• Westerley, Rhode Island, USA
