This year, Hayward received the 2016 Gold Level Beacon Spotlight Award for a 10% Natural Gas Savings. 

 

The Beacon Program, administered by the Institute for Local Government, honors local governments that undertake voluntary efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save energy, and promote sustainability. As an active participant in the program, Hayward has demonstrated significant achievements through the Beacon Program over the past few years. Each year, cities are able to build on their past achievements with additional sustainability measures. Council Members Marvin Peixoto, Sara Lamnin, and Elisa Márquez received the Beacon Spotlight Award while attending the League of Cities Conference in Long Beach, California on October 6, 2016.
