ATTACHMENT III
The consultants have provided a summary of estimated City and community cost ranges for each measure. For the analysis, there are three categories:
1. Low-Cost: the low-hanging fruit for the City and community to reduce GHG emissions, generally delineated as measures associated with relatively low upfront costs to the City or community, e.g., policy ordinances and outreach
2. Moderate-Cost: intermediate level of costs per measure implementation associated with consultant and moderate infrastructure changes, moderate upfront or lifecycle costs associated with e.g., feasibility studies, program development, retrofitting existing infrastructure, program and tax fees, and small capital investments such as purchasing a tree
3. High-Cost: longer term projects requiring substantial investments into major infrastructure or technology over time to reduce emissions, e.g., electrification equipment, electric buses, energy storage, bike lanes, infrastructure changes ID # Measure City Cost
