G. Patrick Stoner

Director, Resource Conservation Programs

Patrick Stoner has been a member of the Local Government Commission staff since 1993 and currently serves as the Resource Conservation Program Director. LGC's recent energy programs have provided energy efficiency design assistance for new residential development plans; rebates for installing cool roofs; help for local governments to procure, finance and install renewable energy systems; and assistance to two California counties, and the cities within them, to establish energy offices to develop and implement regional energy programs.

With funding from the California Energy Commission's Public Interest Energy Research Program, LGC is working on a pilot project to help local governments explore the feasibility of community choice aggregation. And with funding from the California State Water Resources Control Board, LGC will be developing a set of water principles that address the disconnect between water resources and local land use decisions. To help local governments implement the principles, supporting materials and workshops will be provided. Pat has written several guidebooks on energy conservation and waste prevention and produced videos on materials reuse and narrow streets.
