117 outcomes. He was pleasantly happy and surprised with the outcomes that the group 118 came up with, particularly the energy burden item. He knew the group was going 119 to be talking about the CO2 reduction and energy efficiencies and renewable 120 energy, but he was also surprised by the numbers on the energy burden side. He 121 thought as the group talks more about inclusion and equity and other initiatives and 122 efforts in the community, that will be an important aspect to carry into the energy 123 action plan; to make sure that the City is bringing everybody into this and 124 everybody can be a part of this effort. He thought it will be interesting to see what 125 the Council and community reaction is to this. He noted the City took advantage 126 of this program to fast track an energy action plan for the community due to 127 pressure from the residents and he thought this was a really good opportunity for 128 them to fast track some of these efforts to give them some focus items to start 129 working on. 130 131 Member Joyce thought this was great work for the stakeholders and team and he 132 thought it was great to see. He wondered, compared to the City's baseline goal of 133 this communitive impact of achieving this, what was the percentage of reduction in 134 CO gases listed. 135 136 Mr. Halsinger indicated he did have some notes on that. He indicated greenhouse 137 gas emissions reduction is approximately eighteen percent. In terms of energy 138 savings, the energy savings would be done thirteen percent and dollars saved would 139 be down fifteen percent. 140 141 Member Joyce asked if there was abreakdown of usage, multi -home, single family, 142 and business. 143 144 Mr. Halsinger explained there are separate bowls for the commercial/industrial 145 category as well as residential. Multi -family is a sticky one because some multi- 146 family units are classified as commercial/industrial premises and others are 147 classified as residential properties. It is very difficult to isolate those individually 148 but there are some programs they have that are presuming that they are residential. 149 All of that will be receiving some attention. The specific information that Member 150 Joyce might be looking for will actually be in the plan, either in the body of the 151 work or in the appendix. 152 MW 153 Vice Chair Ficek thought the presentation was good. He noted when Mr. Halsinger 154 talked about the measures he wondered how exactly those things will be measured. 155 He was also curious if the Commission will hear updates on this. He thought this 156 looked great and he hoped it will be successful. He wondered if there will be 157 opportunities, such as in five years, to revisit and figure out what worked and what 158 did not. 159 160 Mr. Halsinger explained the relationship with Partners in Energy is one that is 161 intended to continue for quite some time. There are resources that are available to 162 what is called "graduate communities" which includes monthly updates and in - Page 4 of 10
