Environment Energy& Environment Energy& CAMBRIDGE ENERGY ALLIANCE Climate Action SUstaINABILITY City of CambridgeAnnual Report 2006/2007 About Cambridge With over 100,000 people located within a 6.5 square mile area, Cambridge is a unique community with a strong mix of cultural, demographic and social diversity, intellectual vitality and technological innovation. Located just across the Charles River from Boston, Cambridge is home to world-renowned educational institutions, Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), as well as to numerous high-tech and bio-tech companies. Cambridge has developed into an international community with more than one in five residents being foreign born. Students from over 64 nations attend Cambridge public schools, and their families speak over 46 different languages. Front Cover: Though many consider climate change a global topic, it is also very much a local issue and much of the action to reduce emissions that cause climate change needs to happen on the local level. The City of Cambridge has been working on climate change issues for some time. Additionally, the Cambridge City Council has adopted policies that support climate change initiatives and better position the City as a leader in this arena. In March 2007, the City launched the Cambridge Energy Alliance (CEA), a massive energy efficiency initiative, in collaboration with the Cambridge Health Alliance and the Henry P. Kendall Foundation. For more information on the City’s climate protection efforts, visit www.cambridgema.gov/climate. City Manager’s Message To the Honorable, the City Council, and the residents and taxpayers of Cambridge: On behalf of the City of Cambridge and its employees, I am pleased to present you with the fiscal year 2006-2007 Annual Report. Cambridge has made significant progress this past year in supporting the City Council’s community goals. With continued strong financial standing, the City has met the demands of increased responsibility in the area of homeland security, advanced its affordable housing and public construction initiatives and continued to provide the highest quality municipal services possible. The 2006 Citizen Survey revealed that 86% of respondents indicated that Cambridge was an excellent or good place to live. hy.com p gra Cambridge retained its status as one of approximately 20 cities nationwide to earn AAA o ratings from all three major credit rating agencies, in recognition of its continued sound fiscal condition and management. These ratings enable the City to finance capital proj- tonphot ects at lower interest rates, ultimately providing significant savings to taxpayers. r o In FY07, the City appropriated a combined total of $12.5 million in local receipts, state matching funds and fund balances, under provisions of the Community Photo: n Photo: Preservation Act (CPA), for expenditure on affordable housing, historic preservation and open space projects. Since adopting the CPA in 2002, the City has appropriated/reserved a total of $59.6 million, of which approximately $25 million was in state matching funds. We anticipate receiving a similar level of CPA state matching funds in FY08 as was received in FY07. The City is nearing completion on both the new William G. Maher Park and the enhanced and expanded park at 238 Broadway. Substantial progress has been made on the Harvard Square and Lafayette Square roadway and sidewalk enhancement projects. Contracts were signed for construction of the new public safety facility, the West Cambridge Youth and Community Center/VFW and the War Memorial renovation project. Construction on all of these projects, and on the Main Library, is well under way. In the past two fiscal years, we have been able to produce budgets which have reflected a 0% and 3.96% increase in the property tax levy. For FY07, this resulted in approximately 65% of residential taxpayers receiving a property tax bill that was lower, the same as, or only slightly higher (less than $100) than the previous year. In May 2007, the City Council approved the FY08 operating budget of $412,274,625, a capital budget of $20,048,660, and the five- year capital plan. The budget calls for only a 5.75% increase in the property tax levy, though it may be less than 5% by the fall, when the City Council votes on the City Manager’s property tax and classification recommendations. The capital budget willsup - port a variety of technology, public safety, building, school, roadway, water and sewer, street and open space construction projects. The City continued its efforts on a range of “green” initiatives, including its first in the nation launch of a massive energy efficiency initiative under the umbrella of the Cambridge Energy Alliance (CEA), in conjunction with the Cambridge Health Alliance and the Henry P. Kendall Foundation. This multi-year effort to reduce energy consumption citywide, through upgrades to building systems in every type of building in the city, will be financed through a grant from the Kendall Foundation and through savings achieved by the energy upgrades. This effort will reduce the City’s “carbon footprint” and will be a model for nationwide efforts that will learn from the CEA model. Cambridge continues to seek community participation in the City’s Climate Protection Plan by encouraging energy efficiency, use of renewable resources, recycling and use of alternative transportation modes. The City was honored to receive two awards this year that demonstrate its commitment to providing high quality public services. America’s Promise Alliance again selected Cambridge as one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People. Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency awarded its Environmental Merit Award to the City’s Climate Protection Team for its out- standing efforts in preserving New England’s environment. In addition, the Commonwealth awarded Cambridge the Municipal Environmental Purchasing and Sustainability Award, recognizing Cambridge’s efforts in implementing the Climate Protection Plan. I urge you to read further to learn more about our City departments and their exceptional work, ensuring that Cambridge contin- ues to be a great place to live, work and visit.

  • 1-Animals on Their Own Terms
    Animals on Their Own Terms: Where Advocacy Can Go From Here by Lee Hall1 It’s an especially important time to be an animal advocate. The word’s out that our little planet will be home to more than nine billion human beings by 2050. The resources we allocate to the animals we domesticate are drawing intense scrutiny. Many people in the industrialized world accept that we must “cut back” on consumption; but serious change is called for. Animal-rights voices must be heard in this urgent discussion, because without them -- that is, without transcending the individual and collective habits connected with dominion over the planet’s life -- humans will be locked into a cycle of pollution and pillage of the land and seas. Taking animal rights seriously can free us from the cycle. Had we respected the lives and futures of pink dolphins, marmosets, jaguars and tamarins, could we have ravaged the forests to make way for an industry that creates hamburgers? Surely we could never have devoted the great plains of North America to single-crop feed growing, interspersed with cattle feedlots, had we taken seriously the interests of river otters, whooping cranes, burrowing owls, long-billed curlews, wolves, black-footed ferrets, coyotes and kit foxes. Respecting free-living animals would keep natural areas intact, force humanity to confront its dependence on animal agribusiness, and address the causes of our climate crisis. What has animal-rights theory proposed so far? We are not the only ones born with interests, and so, advocates have urged, we are not the only ones whose interests should be respected.

The problem in this paper is twofold. First to study sampling methodology and theory, and secondly, to select a random population sample from Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Cambridge City Planning Board in 1954 adopted the Neighbor- hood theory of districting; the city was divided into thirteen areas or strata such that each area had internal social and economic homo- geity.
