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