24. Coalition Sustainability: Funding
Activities to Increase Financial Sustainability
Seek nominal participant fees for workshops and events
Seek industry grants and event sponsorships for workshops and future interns/staff
Seek grant opportunities and partnering opportunities with other agencies in exchange for services and events
Implement a membership dues structure
If Sacramento Clean Cities Coalition had more funding, :
Hire a paid coordinator
Hire paid support staff
Provide increased management and technician training
Implement improved outreach equipment such as a loaner computer, flat panel display, create marketing videos, acquire communications software (go to meeting, webcasting)

25. Coordinator and Support Volunteer Time Commitments
Current Staffing
Coordinator currently works hours per week (in-kind)
Co-coordinator currently works hours per week (in-kind)
Interns and contract staff work hours/week (paid)
Future Staffing
Over the past 18 months, the work effort necessary to manage the Coalition has increased significantly due to the increasing requirements and accountability required by the DOE
Within 3 years, the work necessary to operate the Coalition as currently projected could easily increase to 60 hours per week
The Challenge
In order to function at the level that we are projecting, we will need to identify funding streams or find a way to secure in-kind staff time from more organizations.

26. Coordinator Succession Plan
The Vice Chair currently fills in for the Chair in his absence and will continue to do so
The Coalition by-laws provide for a process to fill vacant officer and director positions
The coalition maintains hard copy and electronic files of all important coalition documents and correspondence in a central location (Secretary/Treasurer maintains files).
Duplicate electronic files are maintained by the Chair and the Vice-Chair and all files are regularly backed up to storage devices
Maintain a back-up electronic files of important documents

27. Coordinator Training
Coordinator & Co-coordinator have both attended “Coordinator 101”
Coordinator and Co-coordinator have both taken several Clean Cities University Online Learning System including:
Clean Cities' e-Tools
Coordinator Basics
Laws and Regulations
Vehicle and Fuel Technologies
Coordinator or co-coordinator participate in monthly Western Region Clean Cities Coordinators calls

28. Coalition Challenges/Barriers to Success
Sacramento Clean Cities Coalition’s biggest challenges:
Running our organization with all-volunteer management and student interns
Budget constraints…economy (i.e. businesses and government agencies find it difficult to pay dues)
Lack of secure funding sources
Here are the steps we’re taking to address those challenges:
Seeking further partnerships to leverage available funding opportunities
Consider Pursuit of the “Coalition Mentoring Program”
Here’s how DOE, its labs and contractors can help us succeed:
Tools such as calculators (i.e. VICE model, Fleet Analytics, etc.), putting dollar value on carbon offsets,
Online surveys
Emissions Analysis
Physically Locate the Western Regional Manager in the Western Region

29. In Summary
Sacramento Clean Cities has provided significant support in petroleum-reduction efforts within our region through grants and enhanced education. Re-designation would allow for these efforts to continue and would allow for our future plans to be initiated.
