Packet Pg. 104
past year: Mill District, North Village, and the Saggio Hills Affordable Housing project, and to evaluate the compliance of each project with its respective DA.

BACKGROUND:

Mill District Development Agreement. On April 1, 2019, the City entered into a DA ("Mill District DA") with Replay Healdsburg, LLC ("Replay") for the Mill District Project. The Mill District DA provides Replay with certain assurances that they may proceed with a development project that includes: a hotel containing approximately 53 guest rooms; up to 208 residential apartments and condominiums (including 40 rental units for occupancy by low-income and very low-income households, 30 multi-family residential units for occupancy by middle-income households, and not more than 138 condominium units to be sold as market rate housing); approximately 15,000 square feet of commercial space; and a variety of amenities including a privately owned and maintained park for public use and enjoyment, public plaza spaces; bicycle racks and shared vehicle charging stations. Replay is required to pay fees and costs associated with certain project improvements as identified in the Mill District DA. The term of the Mill District DA is for a period of 15 years unless extended or terminated by mutual agreement of the City and Replay. When Replay transferred title to Lot 7 (the affordable housing parcel) to Eden Mill District, LP, ("Eden") on April 21, 2021, certain rights and obligations of the Mill District DA were assigned to Eden. On April 19, 2022, Replay conveyed Lot 4 to Canopy Healdsburg, LLC ("Canopy"). On November 5, 2024, Canopy transferred title to the common areas on Lot 4 to Mill District Unit 4 Association ("Canopy HOA") and entered into a partial Assignment and assumption Agreement to assign certain rights and obligations of the Mill District DA were assigned to Canopy HOA.

Comstock is required to pay fees and costs associated with certain project improvements as identified in the North Village DA. The term of the North Village DA is for a period of 10 years unless extended or terminated by mutual agreement of the City and Comstock. On August 20, 2020, Comstock entered into an Agreement with Kendal at Sonoma, A Zen Inspired Community ("Kendal") to assign certain rights and obligations of the North Village DA to Kendal. On February 1, 2023, Comstock transferred a 3.01-acre portion of Parcel 4 to Burbank Housing Development Corporation ("Burbank") and entered into a partial Assignment and Assumption Agreement to assign certain rights and obligations of the North Village DA to Burbank.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution Setting the Time and Place for Hearing Protests to Weed Abatement
PREPARED BY: Lance MacDonald, Fire Marshal/Division Chief STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Pursue Initiatives that Promote Environmental Stewardship Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
Provide Effective Governance
Maintain and Enhance Public Health and Safety
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution Declaring a Public Nuisance to Exist Within Certain Parcels in the City and Setting the Time and Place for Hearing Protests to Weed Abatement.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

The Weed Abatement Program is advertised on City social media platforms prior to the start of the weed abatement inspections. The program sets a time and place for a public hearing for the community to protest weed abatement. The program also accepts weed abatement complaints at the fire department which are followed-up by Fire Department prevention staff.

BACKGROUND:

Each year the City, as part of its annual Weed Abatement Program, inspects parcels of property for the presence of weeds, brush, and other debris that create or promote a fire hazard or nuisance. At this time, most parcels in the City have been inspected. The City Council is now being asked to declare a public nuisance on the properties identified on the attached list and set a date for a public hearing. Once this is done, the property owners will be notified of the nuisance and given 28 days to abate the nuisance or contest the notice at the scheduled hearing. If the owners fail to abate the nuisance or contest the notice within the specified time frame, the City will complete the work using its own contractors and the property owner is billed for the abatement costs.
“Weeds” as defined in Section 39561.5 of the Government Code that pertain to the City of Healdsburg properties would be:

6.G
Packet Pg. 134
• Sagebrush, chaparral, and any other brush or weeds which attain such large growth as to become, when dry, a fire menace to adjacent improved property. • Weeds which are otherwise noxious or dangerous.
• Poison oak when the conditions of growth are such as to constitute a menace to the public health.
• Dry grass, stubble, brush, litter, or other flammable material which endangers the public safety by creating a fire hazard.

Additionally, parcels within the City defined in a Fire Severity Zone (Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area) by City Municipal Code are required to create a defensible space as defined in Government Code 51182 and Chapter 49 of the California Fire Code.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The Weed Abatement Program follows criteria established by the Government Code for this process. It has also been found to be the most effective manner to abate hazards on private property and provide a mechanism to obtain reimbursement for delinquent payments.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

The Weed Abatement Program reduces the risk of fire within the community by removing “weeds” as defined above that may promote the spread of fire.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Council could either discontinue the Weed Abatement Program, allowing the nuisance and fire hazards to exist or issue citations under the Fire Code section 304.1.2, which does not provide a mechanism for forced abatement or reimbursement for abatement of the property.

Either of these options would alleviate the need for setting a time and place for protesting the weed abatement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds to provide abatement on properties owned by unresponsive homeowners are budgeted in the Fire Department each year. When forced abatement does occur, the property owner is billed for the contractor’s fee as well as an administrative charge to recover costs associated with staff time. If payment is not received a lien may be placed on the property and the fee added to the tax roll to be paid in conjunction with property taxes.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act and Title 14, the California Code of Regulations (“CEQA Guidelines”), Section 15378 (b) (2), continued administrative actions do not qualify as a “Project”. Therefore, no further CEQA or environmental review is required.

This action is also exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA guideline 15308.

PREPARED BY: Adam McKenna, IT Manager
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution approving an amendment to the Service Agreement between the City of Healdsburg and Sonic.net, LLC, increasing the not-to-exceed amount of the Original Agreement by $42,000 to $552,000, providing that the initial term shall expire five (5) years from the date when Sonic billing begins for any Sonic installed and activated services and authorizing the City Manager to execute the amendment on behalf of the City.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

Not applicable.

BACKGROUND:

On August 15, 2022, City Council approved a five (5) year service agreement with Sonic.net, LLC (Sonic) for internet and managed Dark Fiber construction, installation, and support services (Original Agreement). On September 21, 2022, the City of Healdsburg (City) and Sonic executed the agreement. The existing agreement scope includes services that provide more robust, secure, and cost-effective fiber connectivity to the internet, along with dedicated dark fiber connections between City facilities.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The City and Sonic have negotiated a proposed amendment (Amendment) to the Original Agreement. The Amendment will:

1. Update the Individual Fiber Segment Turn Up Sites in ‘Exhibit D’ of the Original Agreement to add managed Dark Fiber to an additional City site locate at 3 North Street (Foley Family Community Pavilion). The Amendment will also update the payment schedule in ‘Exhibit B’ of the Original Agreement to add a monthly service cost of $700,

6.H
Packet Pg. 139
thereby increasing the Original Agreement not-to-exceed amount by $42,000 to $552,000.

2. Amend the Term of the Original Agreement noting the initial term shall expire five (5) years from the date when Sonic billing begins for any Sonic installed and activated services.

Staff recommend City Council approve the proposed Amendment with Sonic.net, LLC and authorize the City Manager to execute the Amendment on behalf of the City.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose not to approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed Amendment with Sonic. If the Council chooses not to approve the proposed Amendment, additional direction to staff is requested.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Staff is recommending the signing of the Agreement Amendment, increasing the not-to-exceed amount for Sonic internet and dark fiber implementation, and service to $552,000 over 60 months.

No additional impact or increase to the budget is expected.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed action is an administrative activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment; and is, therefore, not a project for purposes of CEQA.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2025
SUBJECT: Amendment of Professional Service Agreement with InfoSend, Inc.

PREPARED BY: Katie Edgar, Finance Director
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Provide Effective Governance
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution approving an amendment to the agreement between the City and InfoSend, Inc. for utility bill print, mail, and online bill payment services, increasing the not-to-exceed amount by $50,000 to $146,000, extending the term for one-year, and authorizing the City Manager to execute said agreement amendment.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

Not applicable.

BACKGROUND:

On July 1, 2023, the City entered into a Master Services Agreement with Infosend for a one-year period with a not to exceed value of $48,000 for printing and mailing of utility bills and reminder notices. On June 16, 2024, the City amended the agreement to extend the term for one year through June 30, 2025, and add an additional $48,000.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Staff continue to seek alternatives to improve the utility billing customer experience and increase staff efficiency. The proposed amendment to the Infosend contract establishes an annual term to allow for flexibility in implementing utility billing software upgrades in the future.

The upcoming Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget includes appropriations to continue improving data management for the electric utility which is a first step to providing enhanced customer service through a future online portal that provides comprehensive utility usage data. Finance, Utility and Public Works staff are collaborating to develop a scope for future enhancements that will meet the needs of each respective department as well as the public. Staff continue to explore alternative solutions and are monitoring the Utility fund budgets for an opportunity to provide enhanced customer service.

6.I
Packet Pg. 145
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Infosend provides electronic billing options that reduce the use of paper products and the vehicle miles traveled associated with the delivery of mail.

ALTERNATIVES:

Council could choose not to adopt the recommended resolution and direct staff to explore alternative bill printing and online bill pay solutions. This alternative is not recommended at this time as the implementation costs associated with the new software are not included in the adopted budget and additional time would be required to complete the appropriate procurement and implementation processes.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed contract amendment is to extend services through June 30, 2026, and increase the contract amount by $50,000. Sufficient appropriations were included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget as operational expenses in the Electric, Water, Wastewater, and Drainage utility funds.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The proposed action is an administrative activity, which is not considered a 'project' as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) (CEQA Guidelines§15378).

Consequently, no CEQA action is required.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2025
SUBJECT: Fire Protection Services Agreement with Northern Sonoma County Fire Protection District
PREPARED BY: Jason Boaz, Fire Chief
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Provide Effective Governance
Maintain and Enhance Public Health and Safety
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution approving an agreement with Northern Sonoma County Fire Protection District relating to fire protection services and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

Not applicable.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Healdsburg has been providing contractual fire protection services to Zone FS-Fitch Mountain for over 30 years and Zone FS-Dry Creek Sotoyome for over 20 years under a contract with the County of Sonoma. In 2023, these territories were annexed into Northern Sonoma County Fire Protection District (NSCFPD), a fire protection district organized and operating pursuant to the California Fire Protection District Law of 1987. All contracts moving forward will be with NSCFPD.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Northern Sonoma County Fire Protection District wishes to continue to contract with the City of Healdsburg to provide fire protection services to these areas. This entails responding to all fire, rescue and medical emergencies and potentially other non-emergency events requiring fire department services, to the areas located within Fitch Mountain and Dry Creek-Sotoyome.

Fitch Mountain includes all unincorporated areas of Fitch Mountain outside of the City of Healdsburg and generated 61 calls for service in 2024. On average, of these calls for service, 30 percent involve hazardous conditions such as fallen trees and PG&E power lines; 30 percent are

6.J
Packet Pg. 148
medical emergencies; 30 percent are public service type events including fire alarms and lift assists, and 10 percent involve fires.

Dry Creek-Sotoyome contains 65 square miles of unincorporated Sonoma County areas adjacent to the City of Healdsburg, including lower Dry Creek Valley extending to the Rio Lindo Academy, Westside Road to Sweetwater Springs and the Mill Creek area. The Dry CreekSotoyome zone generated 130 calls for service in 2024. Of these calls, approximately 50 percent involve medical emergencies; 30 percent are public service type events; 15 percent involve hazardous conditions and 5 percent involve fires.

The attached agreement enables Healdsburg to provide an additional year of contractual fire services beginning on July 1, 2025.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Not Applicable.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Council may choose not to provide contract fire protection services to this area of NSCFPD.

Declining approval of the agreement will eliminate the General Fund revenue source to the City of Healdsburg and diminish the level of fire protection services provided to Fitch Mountain and Dry Creek-Sotoyome areas of Northern Sonoma County Fire Protection District.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed contract includes the Northern Sonoma County Fire Protection District paying the City of Healdsburg a flat fee of $200,000 for services in Fiscal Year 2025-26. The fee will be paid in two equal installments due by November 30th and April 30th respectively. The revenue from the contract was included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget. There are no changes to the fee or services provided from the prior year agreement. Staff believes that the revenue received from the contract will be sufficient to cover the costs of providing the contracted services.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Pursuant to Title 14, the California Code of Regulations, Section 15378(b)(5) of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) guidelines, the proposed action is an administrative activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment; and therefore, is not a project for purposes of CEQA.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2025
SUBJECT: Agreement with Geographic Technologies Group, Inc. for GIS System Data Cleanup Phase 2A
PREPARED BY: Adam McKenna, IT Manager
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute am agreement with Geographic Technologies Group, Inc., for Phase 2A data cleanup services in the amount of $85,552.50.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

Not applicable.

BACKGROUND
The City of Healdsburg continues to prioritize the enhancement of its Geographic Information System (GIS) infrastructure to improve municipal operations and data accuracy. Following the successful completion of Phase One, which focused on rebuilding the GIS infrastructure, the City is now ready to initiate Phase Two which is the data clean-up effort which will consist of several stages that will be referred to as Phase 2A, 2B, etc. The first of the phases, Phase 2A, targets the most critical datasets that offer the greatest immediate benefit. While this initial phase aims to resolve pressing data quality issues, subsequent phases will involve deeper engagement with departmental stakeholders and subject matter experts, along with extensive field data validation and collection activities. Staff have selected Geographic Technologies Group, Inc. (GTG) to assist staff in Phase 2A of our GIS cleanup efforts after their successful partnership through Phase One. By leveraging the vendor relationship and procurement mechanism established in Phase One, the City will benefit from continuity, cost-efficiency, and established expertise.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Phase 2A of the GIS project focuses on addressing critical data cleanup tasks to improve the accuracy, integrity, and usability of the City’s GIS databases, while also establishing processes to

6.K
Packet Pg. 158
maintain data quality going forward. It is designed to focus on datasets and tasks that provide the greatest immediate operational benefit. Activities for this phase will include:
• Domains Cleanup: Reviewing and implementing domains for the most critical fields across the City GeoDB (geodatabase) and Public Works GeoDB. • Metadata Optimization: Populating and documenting metadata for priority feature classes, including addresses, parcels, zoning, and streets to support accurate data usage and management.
• Comprehensive Review: Conducting initial reviews to identify unused or redundant fields and proposing Attribute Rules to improve data integrity.

Future phases will build upon this foundation, requiring substantial involvement from departmental stakeholders and subject matter experts to validate and further refine the data. The subsequent phases will include attribute cleanup, field data collection efforts, and expanded data validation processes to ensure all datasets meet the City's evolving needs.

Staff intend to execute the agreement with Geographic Technologies Group, Inc. through the California State Contract #5-22-70-25-133, as permitted by Section 3.24.080.8 of the City of Healdsburg Municipal Code. Purchasing the services through the State's Participating Addendum meets all requirements set forth in the City of Healdsburg's Purchasing Policy and ordinance and all requirements set forth by the State of California in regard to regional, state, and national cooperative purchasing agreements. This process confirms the City receives the lowest available pricing and meets the competitive bid process requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Not applicable.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose not to authorize the City Manager to sign an agreement with Geographic Technologies Group, Inc. In this case, GIS systems would continue with degraded data quality and mechanisms to control quality data entry.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute a purchase agreement with Geographic Technologies Group, Inc., for Phase 2A data cleanup services in the amount of $85,552.50. This agreement will be funded by existing appropriations within the Fiscal Year 24/25 Adopted Budget in the Information Services Fund.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed action is an administrative activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment; and is, therefore, not a project for purposes of CEQA.

This project is in response to the recent major upgrade and revision of the City’s GIS platform.

GTG will support the City in a focused effort to modernize and enhance the structure, consistency, and usability of both the City and Public Works Geodatabases. This work includes implementing standardized domains, cleaning and documenting key data sets, improving data integrity, and developing sustainable procedures. This scope of work is designed to promote consistency, usability, and sustainability within the City’s GIS environment. These enhancements will support better planning, analysis, and operations across city departments. Below outlines the key tasks and deliverables involved in this engagement.

Domain Standardization (City Geodatabase)
GTG will begin by meeting with City staff to review and finalize domain assignments across the city's geodatabase. This task will include:

Identifying duplicated or inconsistent domain entries and removing or consolidating them as needed based on these meetings.

Implement the agreed-upon domains across relevant fields and perform all necessary data cleanup to ensure values align with the domain structure.

Up to three internal quality reviews will be conducted by GTG staff to ensure implementation accuracy.

Clarification meetings will be scheduled with the GIS Coordinator and other stakeholders as needed throughout this process.

Metadata Documentation (Priority City Datasets)
In support of improved documentation and data stewardship, GTG will assist the City in gathering and populating key metadata for seven priority feature classes:

Addresses
Building Footprints
Easements
Land Use
Parcels
Streets
Zoning

6.K.b
Packet Pg. 168 Attachment: Attachment A - Geographic Technologies Group, Inc. Data Cleanup Contract (4886 : Authorize Agreement with Geographic Geographic Technologies Group, Inc. Contract for Services Attachment A The process will include:

Identifying appropriate data stakeholders in coordination with city staff, followed by conducting up to two meetings with each stakeholder group to collect metadata.

GTG will compile the input and review it with the City’s GIS coordinator to fill any remaining gaps.

Metadata will be populated for each feature.

Any written policy or procedure will be created outlining ongoing standards for metadata creation and updates.

Comprehensive Data Cleanup (Priority City Datasets)
Following metadata population and domain implementation, GTG will perform a two-part review and clean up of the seven priority data sets.

First, GTG will generate a field usage report and assess the fill factor of each field.

Based on the above report, GTG will perform a comprehensive data cleanup to improve completeness and consistency.

Second, GTG will identify fields that are unused or outdated and may be proposed for removal, as well as fields that could benefit from the use of attribute rules to maintain future data integrity.

GTG will deliver a report of proposed field removals and another report identifying. candidate fields for attribute rules.

Both sets of recommendations will be reviewed with the GIS Coordinator for final feedback and approval.

Domain Standardization (Public Works Geodatabase)
GTG will conduct a thorough review of the Public Works geodatabase to:

Identify fields that would benefit from standardized domains.

GTG will summarize the current values used in these fields and prepare a report for review by the City GIS Coordinator and Public Works stakeholders.

Based on feedback, a series of meetings will be held to finalize domain selections.

Once finalized, GTG will clean up existing data, implement the new domains, and complete up to three internal quality reviews.

Clarification meetings will be scheduled as necessary to confirm the intended domain values

6.K.b
Packet Pg. 169 Attachment: Attachment A - Geographic Technologies Group, Inc. Data Cleanup Contract (4886 : Authorize Agreement with Geographic Geographic Technologies Group, Inc. Contract for Services Attachment A Comprehensive Data Cleanup (Public Works Utility Feature Classes) Following the domain implementation, GTG will conduct a focused review of three key public works utility data sets:

SewerStormwater
Stormwater
Water
GTG will generate a field usage and fill-factor report. This information will be used to conduct targeted data cleanup and identify fields that may no longer be necessary or useful.

GTG will assess where attribute rules may be applied to enhance data integrity.

Two deliverables will be provided:

A listing of proposed fields for removal
A listing detailing recommended attribute rules
 These findings will be reviewed collaboratively with the City GIS Coordinator and other stakeholders for validation and consensus.

Documentation and SOP Review
GTG will support the development and standardization of internal processes by:

Reviewing the custom Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for data cleanup authored by the City GIS Coordinator.

GTG will revise the SOP for clarity, expand content where needed, and apply GTG's formatting standards to ensure a professional and usable final document that supports ongoing GIS data management efforts.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2025
SUBJECT: Extension of a Professional Services Agreement with MMO Partners of Washington DC for Federal Advocacy Services, with Costs Shared by Healdsburg and Four Other Cities
PREPARED BY: Raina Allan, City Clerk
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Provide Effective Governance
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to approve a 12-month extension to a Professional Services Agreement for federal advocacy services with MMO Partners, increasing the not-to-exceed amount by $80,852 to $526,036, offset by an additional $73,794 in reimbursement revenue from four (4) other participating Sonoma County cities.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

Not Applicable.

BACKGROUND:

In May of 2020, the City of Healdsburg, along with the cities of Petaluma, Cotati, Rohnert Park, Sebastopol, Sonoma and Cloverdale (Partnering Cities), retained Murray, Montgomery, and O’Donnell (MMO Partners) to ensure that: cities in Sonoma County with a population below 100,000 were provided direct, flexible federal funding to offset COVID related revenue losses, monitor federal agency program guidance, provide timely COVID grant related funding announcements and analyze House and Senate COVID related legislation to determine potential impact to partnering cities.

MMO supported the City of Healdsburg and other participating cities in advocating for the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), which was signed into law on March 11, 2021, as well as its ensuing regulatory implementation process. Additionally, MMO has supported partnering cities in advocating for their priorities in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which was signed into law on November 15, 2021. MMO has also provided technical assistance to partnering cities on the Federal Appropriations Process, helped support the City of Healdsburg’s

6.L
Packet Pg. 176
projects included in the Water Resources Development Act and has assisted the City in navigating the changing federal funding situation under the current administration.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Given the success of the partnership with MMO in advocating for needs at the federal level, the five participating cities have expressed interest in continuing the partnership with MMO for another year. MMO has proposed to continue providing federal advocacy services, including:
• Serving as an intergovernmental liaison with federal agencies, Congress, and partnering cities.
• Supporting partnering cities in identifying policy and project priorities, including support in preparing future year federal appropriation requests. • Monitoring ARPA and IIJA implementation guidance and funding opportunities. • Monitoring and providing federal grant opportunities. • Tracking federal legislation and providing technical assistance. • Monitoring and identifying opportunities in the FY 24/25 and FY 25/26 federal budgets. • Support connectivity between partnering cities, federal agency officials, and Capitol Hill staff.
• Assisting in navigating the changing federal funding situation under the current administration.

MMO has proposed keeping the cost of these services flat, with a total rate of $6,738 per month, or $80,852 for the full year. The City of Healdsburg acts as the contract administrator for the partnering cities and receives reimbursement from the partnering cities to offset their proportional cost share. The cost is split based on population and remains the same as the prior year for the partnering cities.

Costs for FY 23/24:

Proposed Costs for FY 24/25:

City Population Cost/City
Healdsburg 11,610 $ 7,057.28
Petaluma 59,760 $ 36,325.82
Cloverdale 8,760 $ 5,324.87
Sonoma 10,950 $ 6,656.09
Rohnert Park 41,930 $ 25,487.64
TOTAL 133,010 $ 80,851.70

6.L
Packet Pg. 177
Proposed Costs for FY 25/26:

City Population Cost/City
Healdsburg 11,610 $ 7,057.28
Petaluma 59,760 $ 36,325.82
Cloverdale 8,760 $ 5,324.87
Sonoma 10,950 $ 6,656.09
Rohnert Park 41,930 $ 25,487.64
TOTAL 133,010 $ 80,851.70
Partnering cities have expressed that MMO continues to have the experience, skills, and knowledge of our local area (as well as detailed knowledge of the congressional appropriations and FEMA reimbursement process) necessary to accomplish this task. The $6,738/month rate is reasonable for the work being performed, and with all five participating cities sharing in the cost allocated by population, the net cost to the City is expected to be $7,058 for the twelve-month Agreement, which would expire at the end of June 2026.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Not applicable.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Council may choose not to approve the resolution and direct staff to find an alternative means to support federal advocacy efforts.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Appropriations for this Professional Services Agreement are included in the adopted Fiscal Year 25/26 budget in the City Managers Department. The total proposed contract amendment cost of $80,852 will be offset by reimbursements totaling $73,794 for a net impact to the City of $7,058.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is not a “project” pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines 15378(b)(5) because the Agreement for advocacy services is an organizational and administrative activity; therefore, no environmental review is required.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2025
SUBJECT: Authorize the Mayor to appear on a City Outreach Mailer on behalf of the City Council
PREPARED BY: Raina Allan, City Clerk
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Establish Proactive Policies/Programs to Continue to Promote Economic Diversity & Sustainable Growth
Provide Effective Governance
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

By motion, authorize the Mayor to provide a quote and appear on a City Outreach mailer on behalf of the entire City Council.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

Not applicable.

BACKGROUND:

On March 3, 2025, the City Council discussed holding a discussion at a future City Council meeting to explore the possibility of creating a bilingual mailer in English and Spanish, focused on outreach materials and support related to immigration policies and available resources.

Vice Mayor Herrod expressed urgency to demonstrate support for residents in our community.

Following a brief discussion, the Council agreed to agendize this topic.

On April 7, 2025, the City Council discussed the creation of the bilingual mailer. The City Council created a City Council subcommittee comprised of Mayor Mitchell and Vice Mayor Herrod to work with staff to prepare the mailer.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The Council subcommittee and staff have been diligently working on the mailer and would like a quote from the Mayor to be included with the mailer. In order to move forward, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to provide a quote to be included on the bilingual mailer on behalf of the City Council.

Packet Pg. 181
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Not applicable.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose not to authorize the Mayor to appear on the mailer on behalf of the City Council. If this alternative is selected, the quote could appear on the mailer from the City or be left off the mailer entirely.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact related to the proposed action of authorizing the Mayor to provide a quote. However, the fiscal impact of creating and mailing the document is estimated to be around $5,000-$6,000.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2025
SUBJECT: Adoption of Fiscal Year 25-26 City Council Goals PREPARED BY: April Mitts, Assistant City Manager
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Establish Proactive Policies/Programs to Continue to Promote Economic Diversity & Sustainable Growth
Pursue Initiatives that Promote Environmental Stewardship Expand Affordable Housing Opportunities
Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
Provide Effective Governance
Maintain and Enhance Public Health and Safety
Provide Resident-Driven Community Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

By motion, approve the City Council Goals for Fiscal Year 25-26 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

The City Council held a goal setting workshop on April 18, 2025, at Healdsburg Golf Club at Tayman Park Clubhouse. The workshop was open to the public and included multiple opportunities for public comment.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council adopted the City of Healdsburg’s Strategic Plan, “Foundation for a Strong Community,” on December 16, 2019, and runs from 2020-2025. At the time the Strategic Plan was adopted, it was determined that Council would evaluate their goals annually in conjunction with the fiscal year to better match resources with Council priorities.

At the outset of the goal setting process, staff used the adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 24-25 City Council Goals as a starting point and the facilitator, Cathy Capriola from MRG, a consulting firm specializing in local government services, met with Council individually.

On April 18, 2025, the Healdsburg City Council held a full-day retreat to review and establish the City’s goals for FY 25-26. The session was facilitated by MRG, which was engaged to

8.A
Packet Pg. 192
support the City’s annual goal setting process. The development of the FY 25-26 goals involved the following steps:

1. Review of Current Goals

2. Identification of New Projects

3. Councilmember Input and Deliberation

4. Alignment with Strategic Goals
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The goals agreed upon at the April 18th meeting are reflected in the attached document with the exception of the Environmental Stewardship goal related to the Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) wells. This goal was removed per City Council direction on May 5, 2025, due to lack of funding. Staff will continue to seek funding and update the Council if opportunities arise.

In total, there are 44 projects proposed as goals for the upcoming fiscal year, spread across seven Strategic Initiatives, which are unchanged from recent years.

Staff recommends that the Council approve the City Council goals for FY 25-26.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Not Applicable.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may add, delete, or modify the proposed goals and/or outcomes.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The attached document includes a column indicating if additional funding is required. Most goals require little or no new funding, as they involve redirecting staff time or are already included in the FY 24-25 and FY 25-26 budgets. Some capital improvement projects are funded but may need more resources depending on bid results. For the projects marked “TBD,” further analysis is needed, and staff will return to City Council with funding proposals, if necessary.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Pursuant to Title 14, the California Code of Regulations, Section 15378(b)(5) of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) guidelines, the proposed action is an administrative activity of the City hall that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.

Fiscal Year 25-26 Goals for City of Healdsburg
Report from the April 18th Goal Setting Council Retreat On April 18, 2025, the Healdsburg City Council held a full-day retreat to review and establish the City’s goals for Fiscal Year (FY) 25-26. The session was facilitated by MRG, a consulting firm specializing in local government services, which was engaged to support the City’s annual goal setting process. The development of the FY 2025/2026 Goals involved the following steps:

1. Review of Current Goals:

City staff reviewed the FY 24-25 Goals, removing projects that have been completed or are on track to be completed by summer 2025. Several ongoing projects were refined to provide greater specificity or adjusted to reflect a more realistic timeline for completion in the coming year.

2. Identification of New Projects:

Staff proposed new projects based on emerging opportunities, organizational and community needs, and external requirements. In some cases, these projects were initiated based on prior Council direction to revisit or explore specific topics during the goal setting process. All recommended projects were compiled into a draft list of FY 25-26 Goals, accompanied by brief descriptions to provide context. This draft was reviewed by the City Council during the Goal Setting Retreat.

3. Councilmember Input and Deliberation:

The facilitator collected input from individual Council Members on additional goals they wished to propose. These ideas were included in the agenda packet that was published before the April 18th retreat.

During the retreat, Council Members discussed these ideas collaboratively. Some proposed projects were incorporated into the final draft, others were revised or removed based on discussion, and some were not advanced by majority consensus.

4. Alignment with Strategic Goals:

The finalized projects have been organized according to the City of Healdsburg’s seven Strategic Goals, as illustrated in the diagram below.

The proposed FY 25-26 Goals are now presented for formal review and adoption by the City Council.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2025
SUBJECT: Speed Limit Reduction Evaluation
PREPARED BY: Curt Bates, Principal Engineer
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Maintain and Enhance Public Health and Safety
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Introduce for first reading, by title only, waiving further reading of the text, an Ordinance Amending Section 10.50.050 of the Healdsburg Municipal Code, Prima Facie Streets Established by Engineering and Traffic Survey (Regarding Speed Limits in the City of Healdsburg).

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

Within fifteen (15) days of its passage, this Ordinance shall be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the City of Healdsburg, along with the names of the members of the City Council voting for and against its passage. Also, Section 22358 of the California Vehicle Code requires that appropriate signs be installed on the date the City Council action goes into effect, thereby giving notice of changes to posted speed limits.

New speed limit signs and changed condition flags will be placed at speed limit signs that have been reduced, for a period of at least two weeks, to notify drivers of modified speed limits. Also, in accordance with the recently updated California Vehicle Code sections, the Healdsburg Police Department shall issue only warning citations for violations of exceeding the speed limit by 10 miles per hour (mph) or less for the first 30 days that a lower speed limit is in effect as authorized by this section.

BACKGROUND:

On March 15, 2021, the Healdsburg City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1208 amending speed limits set in section 10.50.050 of the Healdsburg Municipal Code. By adopting the updated ordinance, the City Council found that the engineering and traffic surveys dated January 27, 2020, prepared by the City’s traffic engineering consultant, were acceptable to justify speed limits set for 32 street segments within Healdsburg.

On January 3, 2022, the Healdsburg City Council Adopted Ordinance No. 1212, reducing speed limits on Front Street between Healdsburg Avenue and Mason Street, and Healdsburg Avenue

9.A
Packet Pg. 201
between Exchange Avenue and Front Street by 5 mph based on a review of the existing engineering and traffic surveys and new rules in Assembly Bill 43. At that time, the City Council was informed that vehicle code amendments from Assembly Bill 43 were still under review and that City staff intended to perform a detailed technical and legal review of the amendments, monitor the progress of the updates to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices by the Department of Transportation, and bring back a comprehensive update to the City Council at a future meeting date. Subsequently, additional speed limit related bills including Assembly Bill 382, Assembly Bill 1014, and Assembly Bill 1938 have been signed into state law, giving local agencies increased flexibility and authority to reduce speed limits on locally controlled, public roadways.

In May of 2023, the City of Healdsburg, along with other local agencies in Sonoma County, collaborated with staff from the Sonoma County Transportation and Climate Authority (SCTCA) to apply for a planning grant through the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Safe Streets for All Program. The program is aimed at preventing roadway deaths and serious injuries by creating safer roadways for all users. On December 13, 2023, SCTCA issued a press release that it was awarded a planning grant in the amount of $1,060,000 through the Safe Streets for All program to conduct planning and carry out activities related to transportation safety within Sonoma County. The City of Healdsburg was allocated $124,000 of the grant to create Safe Routes to School plan documents for four public and two private schools as well as perform a speed limit reduction study including the preparation of updated engineering and traffic surveys for various street segments in Healdsburg.

On August 19, 2024, the Healdsburg City Council adopted Resolution No. 97-2024, authorizing the City Manager to execute a cooperative funding agreement with SCTCA to contribute the required local agency match funding for the study. The City of Healdsburg entered into the cooperative agreement with the SCTCA on September 16, 2024.

SCTCA initiated a request for proposals in July 2024 to solicit interest from qualified consulting firms to assist SCTCA and City of Healdsburg in performing the speed limit reduction evaluation. City of Healdsburg Public Works staff participated in the consultant selection process. The consulting firms of Mark Thomas and Fehr and Peers were selected in October of 2024, and a project kick-off meeting occurred in December 2024.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The City of Healdsburg is among the first public agencies in Sonoma County to apply California’s new speed limit setting guidance to conduct a speed limit reduction evaluation. The evaluation, which was funded as part of a USDOT Safe Streets for All grant awarded to SCTCA and the City, is consistent with Assembly Bill 43, other related speed limit reduction assembly bill updates, as well as the 2014 California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), revision nine. To determine which City-maintained roadways could be prioritized for speed limit reductions, staff considered the following CA MUTCD criteria :

1. 85th Percentile Speed: Eligible for 5 mph reduction if nearest 5 mph increment requires rounding down.

2. Safety Corridor Designation: Eligible for 5 mph reduction.

9.A
Packet Pg. 202

3. Proximity to Bicyclist/Pedestrian Generators: Eligible for 5 mph reduction.

4. Business Activity District Designation: Eligible for 25 or 20 mph prima facie speed limit.

5. School Zone Designation: Eligible for 15 and 25 mph prima facie speed limits.

6. Senior Zone Designation: Eligible for 25 mph prima facie speed limit.

Thirty-five roadway segments were evaluated for potential speed limit reductions through the engineering and traffic survey process. The segments selected to be analyzed were primarily arterial and collector streets with higher traffic volumes and speeds, as well as areas with higher concentration of vulnerable users including school zones, the downtown core area, and locations with seniors. The engineering and traffic survey process takes the following speed limit setting criteria into account: 85th percentile speed, Safety Corridor designation, and proximity to bicyclist/pedestrian generators. Street segments that were not selected to be analyzed with this evaluation can be analyzed in the future and brought to the City Council for consideration. 85th Percentile Speed:

The engineering and traffic survey process requires local agencies to first conduct a study to collect vehicular speeds using a calibrated radar or other electronic speed measuring device. Per Section 2B.13, paragraph 27 of the CA MUTCD, speed surveys are to be conducted during offpeak traffic hours on a fair-weather weekday to capture “typical” conditions. Based on the cumulative measured speed data, the 85th percentile speed (i.e., the speed at which 85% of drivers are traveling at or below) is determined. Previously the speed was rounded to the nearest 5 mph increment. Under AB 43, the City is now explicitly authorized to round down to the nearest 5 mph increment.

Sample 85th percentile speeds and the application of the speed limit setting guidelines described above for local agency roadways and private roadways subject to the California Vehicle Code are shown in Table 1 of the technical memorandum on speed limit reduction methodology attached to this staff report.

Proximity to Bicyclist/Pedestrian Generators:

Proximity to bicyclist/pedestrian generators is one of two new options to reduce the speed limit by 5 mph. The other option is Safety Corridor designation, which will be discussed in the following section. Per the CA MUTCD, local authorities can apply a 5 mph speed limit reduction if the roadway is adjacent to any land or facility that generates high concentrations of bicyclists or pedestrians, especially those from vulnerable groups such as children, seniors, persons with disabilities, and the unhoused.

To meet this criterion, the roadway segment must have one or more bicyclist/pedestrian generators present within a distance of 1,320 feet. A list of qualifying bicyclist/pedestrian generators, which includes the presence of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, is provided in Table 2 in the technical memorandum on speed limit reduction methodology attached to this staff report. If the roadway segment is longer than 1,320 feet, a minimum of one generator must be present for every 1,320 feet.

9.A
Packet Pg. 203
For the City of Healdsburg, this criterion was satisfied through existing sidewalk infrastructure alone (i.e., every quarter mile sub-segment evaluated had sidewalk present within a quarter mile).

Safety Corridor Designation:

Safety Corridor designation is the second of two new options (the first one being proximity to bicyclist/pedestrian generators as described above) to reduce the speed limit by 5 mph. The CA MUTCD defines a Safety Corridor as “a roadway segment within an overall roadway network where the highest number of serious injury and fatality crashes occur.” Per the CA MUTCD, Safety Corridors should not constitute more than 20% of a local jurisdiction’s overall roadway network. As part of this evaluation, the consultant provided the City of Healdsburg with a datadriven network of Safety Corridors eligible for this 5 mph reduction. A map of the City’s Safety Corridor Network can be found in Attachment A and the methodology and data sources used to develop this network can be found in Attachment B of the technical memorandum on speed limit reduction methodology attached to this staff report.

Prima Facie Zone:

In addition to the potential reductions explored through the engineering and traffic survey process, candidate roadways were also identified based on prima facie zone eligibility. A prima facie speed limit is generally defined as the speed limit on street segments where there are no speed limit signs posted, such as in residential neighborhoods. Each prima facie zone has a corresponding speed limit and a unique set of conditions that must be met for a local agency to declare a prima facie speed limit. Many prima facie zones are exempt from certain speed trap provisions and therefore do not require an engineering and traffic survey for radar enforcement.

The following prima facie zone types were considered as part of this evaluation: Business Activity District, School Zone, and Senior Zone.

Business Activity District Designation:

Per the CA MUTCD, local authorities can declare, by ordinance or resolution, a 25 or 20 mph prima facie speed limit on a roadway contiguous to a Business Activity District if the roadway has four or fewer travel lanes and meets one of the following conditions: 1. Maximum posted speed limit of 30 mph immediately prior to and after the Business Activity District, if establishing a 25 mph prima facie speed limit or 2. Maximum posted speed limit of 25 mph immediately prior to and after the Business Activity District, if establishing a 20 mph prima facie speed limit. The CA MUTCD defines a Business Activity District as “the portion of a highway and the property contiguous thereto that includes central or neighborhood downtowns, urban villages, or zoning designations that prioritize commercial land uses at the downtown or neighborhood scale.” To qualify as a Business Activity District, an area must meet at least three of the following four requirements:

1. No less than 50% of the contiguous property fronting the highway consists of retail or dining commercial uses, including outdoor dining, that open directly onto sidewalks

9.A
Packet Pg. 204
adjacent to the highway.

2. Parking, including parallel, diagonal, or perpendicular spaces, located alongside the highway.

3. Traffic control signals or stop signs regulating traffic flow on the highway, located at intervals of no more than 600 feet.

4. Marked crosswalks not controlled by a traffic control device. Any roadway located within Downtown Healdsburg was evaluated for Business Activity District eligibility.

City staff defines downtown Healdsburg as the area bordered by Grove/Vine Street to the west, Piper Street to the north, Center Street and East Street to the east, and Mill Street to the south.

The recommendation is to reduce speed limits to 20 mph in the downtown core area where greater intensities of pedestrian and bicycle use are typically observed and to retain existing speed limits of 25 mph on the outskirts of the downtown core. A map of all roadway segments eligible for Business Activity District designation can be found in Attachment C in the technical memorandum on speed limit reduction methodology attached to this staff report.

School Zone Designation:

Per the updated CA MUTCD, local authorities can declare, by ordinance or resolution, a 20 or 15 mph prima facie speed limit within 500 feet of school grounds and an extended 25 mph prima facie speed limit within 500 to 1,000 feet from school grounds if the following criteria are met:

1. Roadway is in a residential district.

2. Roadway has a maximum posted speed limit of 30 mph before and after the school zone.

3. Roadway has a maximum of two through traffic lanes (one in each direction or two in one direction).

In California, school speed limits apply when children are present. If the school grounds are separated from the roadway by a fence, gate, or other physical barrier, the school speed limits should be enforced when children are going to or leaving the school, either during school hours or during the noon recess hour. If the school grounds are not separated from the roadway by a fence, gate, or other physical barrier, the school speed limits should be enforced whenever the school grounds are in use by children. Enforcement of school speed limits is ultimately at the discretion of the police officer. Any roadway contiguous to a school building or school grounds in the City was evaluated for school zone eligibility. A map of all eligible school zones can be found in Attachment D in the technical memorandum on speed limit reduction methodology attached to this staff report.

Senior Zone Designation:

Per the CA MUTCD, local authorities can establish a 25 mph prima facie speed limit in a senior zone. The CA MUTCD defines a senior zone as “an area approaching or passing a senior center building or other facility primarily used by senior citizens, or the grounds thereof that is contiguous to a highway.” Matheson Street, which is contiguous to the Healdsburg Senior Center, and Grove Street, which is contiguous to Healdsburg Senior Living, were evaluated for senior zone eligibility. A map of all eligible senior zones can be found in Attachment E in the

9.A
Packet Pg. 205
technical memorandum on speed limit reduction methodology attached to this staff report.

Enforcement:

The proposed recommendations were reviewed and are supported by the Healdsburg Police Department. Speed enforcement is provided throughout the City. Targeted speed enforcement is typically complaint driven based at locations throughout the City. As time allows, officers will proactively conduct speed enforcement in areas of the City with higher traffic volumes or known speeding issues. The proposed recommendations would provide for reduced speeds while balancing speed enforcement expectations and enforcement tolerances (i.e. radar gun limitations). The updated engineering and traffic surveys provide the Police Department staff with supporting documentation in the event a speeding citation is challenged in court.

Recommendation:

City staff recommends speed limits be reduced on the street segments shown in the following table. Street segments evaluated as part of this study that are not listed in the table below are proposed to remain the same and are listed in the attached Evaluation Summary Table and Exhibit A to the ordinance. No increases to speed limits are proposed as part of this study.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Not applicable.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may:

1. Choose to reduce speed limits as allowed per the speed limit reduction evaluation shown in the evaluation summary table.

2. Choose not to reduce any speed limits as permitted in the speed limit reduction evaluation.

3. Maintain existing speed limits.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This speed limit reduction evaluation was funded through the Safe Streets for All planning grant awarded to SCTCA on December 13, 2023. The City of Healdsburg partnered with SCTCA for this evaluation. The dollar amount of SCTCA grant for this evaluation was $60,000 and the City’s required funding match for this study was $12,000.

There will be expenses to the streets fund to purchase and install new speed limit signs and update speed limit pavement markings for the street segments in which the speed limit is decreased, as well installation of changed conditions ahead signage. The cost for new sign installation and updated pavement markings will be further refined but is estimated to be approximately $10,000. Costs are not anticipated until Fiscal Year 2025-26 and sufficient appropriations exist in the adopted budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060 (c)(2) the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and 15060 (c)(3) the activity is not a project as defined in section 15378 of the CEQA guidelines (Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations) because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, either directly or indirectly. Finally, if adoption of this Ordinance is deemed to be a project, it is also exempt from CEQA under the exemption set forth in Section 15301(c), which provides that CEQA does not apply to actions hat

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HEALDSBURG AMENDING SECTION 10.50.050 OF THE

HEALDSBURG MUNICIPAL CODE, PRIMA FACIE STREETS

ESTABLISHED BY ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY
(REGARDING SPEED LIMITS IN THE CITY OF

HEALDSBURG)
The City Council of the City of Healdsburg does herby ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Findings.

The City Council finds as follows:

A. On October 8, 2021, Assembly Bill 43 was signed into law, giving local agencies increased flexibility and authority to reduce speed limits on locally controlled, public roadways. Assembly Bill 43 allows local agencies to consider a wider range of factors when setting speed limits, including roadway classification, land use, crash rates, and bicyclist or pedestrian activity. The law emphasizes the need to consider the roadway context when setting speed limits, especially in urban areas and/or areas where vulnerable road users are present. Shortly after Assembly Bill 43 was signed into law, Assembly Bill 382, Assembly Bill 1014, and Assembly Bill 1938 were signed into law, and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) was updated to incorporate the provisions of Assembly Bill 43.

B. California Vehicle Code section 40802 requires the use of radar (or any other electronic device that measures the speed of moving objects) for enforcement of declared prima facie speed limits be justified by an engineering and traffic survey conducted no more than seven years, or fourteen years old if an engineering and traffic survey was conducted more than seven years prior to the date of the alleged violation, and a registered engineer evaluates the section of the highway and determines that no significant changes in roadway or traffic conditions have occurred, including but not limited to, changes in adjoining property or land use, roadway width, or traffic volume.

C. Cal. Vehicle Code sections 22357 and 22358 further allow the City to determine and declare prima facie speed limits, by ordinance, that increase or decrease existing prima facie speed limits, provided that the revised prima facie speed limits are determined on the basis of an engineering and traffic survey.

D. In May of 2023, the City of Healdsburg, amongst other local agencies in Sonoma County, collaborated with staff from the Sonoma County Transportation and Climate Action Authority (SCTCA) to apply for a planning grant through the U.S. Department of Transportation Safe Streets for All program. The program is aimed at preventing roadway deaths and serious injuries by creating safer roadways for all users. On December 13, 2023, the SCTCA issued a press release that it was awarded a planning grant in the amount of $1,060,000 through the Safe Streets for All program to conduct planning and carry out activities related to transportation safety within Sonoma County.

E. On August 19, 2024, the Healdsburg City Council adopted Resolution No. 97-2024 authorizing the City Manager to execute a cooperative funding agreement with the SCTCA to contribute the required local agency match funding for the study. The City of Healdsburg entered into the cooperative agreement with the SCTCA on September 16, 2024.

F. The Public Works Department working with the consulting engineer contracted through the Sonoma County Transportation and Climate Action Authority, and with support from the Healdsburg Police Department, performed a speed limit reduction evaluation which included an update of its engineering and traffic surveys and an evaluation of existing speed limits on thirty-five street segments within the City of Healdsburg and updated engineering and traffic surveys in accordance with the newly added Vehicle Code sections, and have recommended updates listed in Exhibit A to this ordinance.

G. The City Council finds that the adjustments to the speed limits as outlined in this Ordinance will facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and be reasonable and safe for the community.

SECTION 2. Amendment of Section 10.50.050 of the Healdsburg Municipal Code.

Section 10.50.050 of the Healdsburg Municipal Code, including its title, is hereby amended to read in its entirety as shown on Exhibit A to this ordinance, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 3. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act.

For purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq.), a “project” is defined in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (a) as “the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment”. The City Council hereby finds that the action to adopt this ordinance will not result in any change in the environment and thus is not a project subject to the requirements of CEQA. Further, even if the action to adopt this ordinance was deemed to be a project subject to CEQA, the City Council finds the proposed ordinance is exempt from CEQA under the common sense exemption set forth in Section 15061(b)(3), which provides that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and thus where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Finally, if adoption of this Ordinance is deemed to be a project, it is also exempt from CEQA under the exemption set forth in Section 15301(c), which provides that CEQA does not apply to actions that make changes to existing facilities (in this case, streets), but do not expand the facility.

SECTION 4. Severability.

9.A.a
Packet Pg. 209 Attachment: Ordinance (4890 : Speed Limit Reduction Evaluation) Ordinance No.

Introduction
Speed is one of the main contributing factors to the severity of collisions. Higher travel speeds on public streets not only increase the likelihood of being involved in a collision, but they also increase the severity of injuries sustained by all road users involved in a collision, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Relationship between Vehicle Speed, Collisions, and Fatalities1 For this reason, many agencies across the country are adopting the Safe System Approach, 2 which
includes Safe Speeds as one of its five core elements. Notably, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and Sonoma County Transportation and Climate Authority (SCTCA) have adopted the Safe System Approach. The Safe 1 https://scag.ca.gov/sites/main/files/file-attachments/cal-guidance-hin-090221.pdf?1633549750 2 https://www.transportation.gov/NRSS/SafeSystem

System Approach emphasizes that lower speeds reduce the force of impact in the event a collision occurs, thereby reducing the severity of injuries.

In October 2021, Assembly Bill (AB) 43 was signed into law, giving local agencies increased flexibility and authority to reduce speed limits on locally controlled, public roadways. AB 43 allows local agencies to consider a wider range of factors when setting speed limits, including roadway classification, land use, crash rates, and bicyclist or pedestrian activity. The law emphasizes the need to consider the roadway context when setting speed limits, especially in urban areas and/or areas where vulnerable road users are present. Shortly after AB 43 was signed into law, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) was updated to incorporate the provisions of AB 43.

The City of Healdsburg (herein referred to as “the City”) is among the first agencies in Sonoma County to apply California’s new speed limit setting guidance to conduct a Speed Limit Reduction Evaluation (SLRE). The SLRE, which was funded as part of a USDOT Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant awarded to SCTCA and the City, is consistent with AB 43 and the 2014 CA MUTCD, Revision 9. To determine which City-maintained roadways could be prioritized for speed limit reductions, the following CA MUTCD criteria were considered:
- 85th Percentile Speed: Eligible for 5 mph reduction if nearest 5 mph increment requires rounding down
- Safety Corridor Designation: Eligible for 5 mph reduction - Proximity to Bicyclist/Pedestrian Generators: Eligible for 5 mph reduction - Business Activity District Designation: Eligible for 25 or 20 mph prima facie speed limit - School Zone Designation: Eligible for 15 and 25 mph prima facie speed limits - Senior Zone Designation: Eligible for 25 mph prima facie speed limit This memo describes the methodology used to conduct the City’s SLRE through two distinct processes: Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) Evaluation and Prima Facie Zone Evaluation.

E&TS Evaluation
The City provided a list of 31 roadway segments to be evaluated for potential speed limit reductions through the E&TS process. This process takes the following speed limit setting criteria into account: 85th percentile speed, Safety Corridor designation, and proximity to bicyclist/pedestrian generators.
85th Percentile Speed
The E&TS process requires local agencies to first conduct an E&TS to collect vehicular speeds using a calibrated radar or other electronic speed measuring device. Per Section 2B.13, paragraph 27 of the CA MUTCD, speed surveys are to be conducted during off-peak traffic hours on a fair9.A.d Packet Pg. 217 Attachment: Technical Memorandum Speed Limit Reduction Evaluation Summary (4890 : Speed Limit Reduction Evaluation) City of Healdsburg
May 15th, 2025

3 weather weekday to capture “typical” conditions. Based on the cumulative measured speed data, the 85th percentile speed (i.e., the speed at which 85% of drivers are traveling at or below) is determined, then rounded according to the rules below:

1. If the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed requires rounding up, the posted speed limit can be rounded down to the nearest 5 mph increment below the 85th percentile speed, if no further reduction is used.
3 2. If the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed requires rounding down, the roadway qualifies for an additional 5 mph speed reduction (i.e., the posted speed limit can be reduced by 5 mph from the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed).4
Sample 85th percentile speeds and the application of the speed limit setting guidelines described above for local agency roadways and private roadways subject to the California Vehicle Code (CVC) are shown in Table 1. E&TS data from 2018 to 20255 served as the basis for the City’s SLRE.

Table 1: Examples Showing Applicability of Rounding and Additional Speed Reduction on Local Agency’s Roadways & Private Property Subjected to CVC * Note – CVC Sections 22358.7, 22358.8 & 22358.9 are applicable to local agency roadways and private properties subjected to CVC, they are not applicable to the State Highway System. Refer to Section 2B.13 for more details.

Source: CA MUTCD 2014 Edition, Revision 9, Chapter 2B, Table 2B-104(CA) 3 Further reductions that preclude this rounding do not include the “Safety Corridor” or “proximity to bicyclist/pedestrian generators” designations as described in the following sections. See CA MUTCD Section 2B.13, paragraph 12l and 12m.
4 If the speed limit to be posted has had this 5 mph reduction applied, the corresponding E&TS must document in writing the conditions and justification for the lower speed limit. These conditions should be in compliance with CVC Sections 627 and 22358.5 and approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer. 5 Per the CA MUTCD, any existing E&TS that was performed before January 1, 2022 is not required to be updated until due for reevaluation five (5), seven (7), or 14 years from the date of the survey.

May 15th, 2025

Proximity to Bicyclist/Pedestrian Generators
Proximity to bicyclist/pedestrian generators is one of two new options to reduce the speed limit by 5 mph.6 The other option is Safety Corridor designation, which will be discussed in the following section. Per the CA MUTCD, local authorities can apply a 5-mph speed limit reduction if the roadway is adjacent to any land or facility that generates high concentrations of bicyclists or pedestrians, especially those from vulnerable groups such as children, seniors, persons with disabilities, and the unhoused.

To meet this criterion, the roadway segment must have one (1) or more bicyclist/pedestrian generators present within a distance of 1,320 feet. A list of qualifying bicyclist/pedestrian generators, which includes the presence of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, is provided in Table 2.
7 If the roadway segment is longer than 1,320 feet, a minimum of one (1) generator must be present for every 1,320 feet.

For the City, this criterion was satisfied through existing sidewalk infrastructure alone (i.e., every quarter mile sub-segment evaluated had sidewalk present within a quarter mile). 6 The two options for lowering the speed limit by 5 mph, “Safety Corridor” and “proximity to bicyclist/pedestrian generators” designation, are presented in tandem in the CA MUTCD, meaning that whether a roadway satisfies one or both criteria, it is eligible for a reduction of no more than 5 mph. 7 Per the CA MUTCD, crash data that demonstrates a roadway segment is within the top 20% of the local jurisdiction’s pedestrian and/or bicyclist fatalities or serious injuries over a three to five-year period can be used in lieu of one of the generators listed in Table 2. If the roadway segment is longer than 1,320 feet, a minimum of one (1) location within the top 20% of pedestrian and/or bicyclist fatal or serious injury crashes must be present for every 1,320 feet. This metric is most suitable for jurisdictions with dense pedestrian and bicyclist activity (and therefore a high concentration of crashes). This metric was not used for Vista given that the City’s pedestrian and bicyclist activity is spread out over a large geography.

Source: CA MUTCD 2014 Edition, Revision 9, Chapter 2B, Table 2B-106(CA) Safety Corridor Designation
Safety Corridor designation is the second of two new options (the first one being proximity to bicyclist/pedestrian generators as described above) to reduce the speed limit by 5 mph. The CA MUTCD defines a Safety Corridor as “a roadway segment within an overall roadway network where the highest number of serious injury and fatality crashes occur.” Per the CA MUTCD, Safety Corridors should not constitute more than 20% of a local jurisdiction’s overall roadway network.

As part of this evaluation, Fehr & Peers provided the City with a data-driven network of Safety Corridors eligible for this 5 mph reduction. A map of the City’s Safety Corridor Network can be found in Attachment A. The methodology and data sources used to develop this network can be found in Attachment B.

Prima Facie Zone Evaluation
In addition to the potential reductions explored through the E&TS process, candidate roadways were also identified based on prima facie zone eligibility. Each prima facie zone has a corresponding speed limit and a unique set of conditions that must be met for a local agency to declare a prima facie speed limit. Many prima facie zones are exempt from certain speed trap provisions and therefore do not require an E&TS for radar enforcement. The following prima facie zone types were considered as part of this evaluation: Business Activity District, School Zone, and Senior Zone.

Business Activity District Designation
Per the CA MUTCD, local authorities can declare, by ordinance or resolution, a 25 or 20 mph prima facie speed limit on a roadway contiguous to a Business Activity District if the roadway has four (4) or fewer travel lanes and meets one of the following conditions:

1. Maximum posted speed limit of 30 mph immediately prior to and after the Business Activity District, if establishing a 25 mph prima facie speed limit.

2. Maximum posted speed limit of 25 mph immediately prior to and after the Business Activity District, if establishing a 20 mph prima facie speed limit.

The CA MUTCD defines a Business Activity District as “the portion of a highway and the property contiguous thereto that includes central or neighborhood downtowns, urban villages, or zoning designations that prioritize commercial land uses at the downtown or neighborhood scale.” To qualify as a Business Activity District, an area must meet at least three (3) of the following four (4) requirements:

1. No less than 50% of the contiguous property fronting the highway consists of retail or dining commercial uses, including outdoor dining, that open directly onto sidewalks adjacent to the highway.

2. Parking, including parallel, diagonal, or perpendicular spaces, located alongside the highway.

3. Traffic control signals or stop signs regulating traffic flow on the highway, located at intervals of no more than 600 feet.

4. Marked crosswalks not controlled by a traffic control device.

Any roadway located within Downtown Healdsburg was evaluated for Business Activity District eligibility. City staff defines Downtown Healdsburg as the area bordered by Grove/Vine Street to the west, Grant Street to the north, Center Street and East Street to the east, and Mill Street to the south. A map of all roadway segments eligible for Business Activity District designation can be found in Attachment C.

May 15th, 2025

School Zone Designation
Per the CA MUTCD, local authorities can declare, by ordinance or resolution, a 20 or 15 mph prima facie speed limit within 500 feet of school grounds and an extended 25 mph prima facie speed limit within 500 to 1,000 feet from school grounds if the following criteria are met:

1. Roadway is in a residential district.

2. Roadway has a maximum posted speed limit of 30 mph before and after the school zone.

3. Roadway has a maximum of two (2) through traffic lanes (one in each direction or two in one direction).

In California, school speed limits apply when children are present. If the school grounds are separated from the roadway by a fence, gate, or other physical barrier, the school speed limits should be enforced when children are going to or leaving the school, either during school hours or during the noon recess hour. If the school grounds are not separated from the roadway by a fence, gate, or other physical barrier, the school speed limits should be enforced whenever the school grounds are in use by children.8 Enforcement of school speed limits is ultimately at the discretion of the police officer.

Any roadway contiguous to a school building or school grounds in the city was evaluated for school zone eligibility. A map of all eligible school zones can be found in Attachment D.

Senior Zone Designation
Per the CA MUTCD, local authorities can establish a 25 mph prima facie speed limit in a senior zone. The CA MUTCD defines a senior zone as “an area approaching or passing a senior center building or other facility primarily used by senior citizens, or the grounds thereof that is contiguous to a highway.”
Matheson Street, which is contiguous to the Healdsburg Senior Center, and Grove Street, which is contiguous to Healdsburg Senior Living, were evaluated for senior zone eligibility. A map of all eligible senior zones can be found in Attachment E.

Speed Limit Recommendations
Based on the results of the SLRE, City staff recommends a posted speed limit reduction of at least 5 mph on 27 of the 31 roadway segments evaluated. Full evaluation results and recommendations from City staff can be found in Attachment F. In accordance with CVC Section 22358.6, paragraph 12c, all recommended speed limits are within 12.4 mph of the 85th percentile speed on their respective roadways.

Safety Corridor Guidance Considerations
A Safety Corridor is defined as a roadway segment within an overall roadway network where the highest number of fatal and serious injury (KSI) crashes occur. Per the CA MUTCD, Safety Corridors should represent a prioritized subset of a local jurisdiction’s overall roadway network and therefore cannot exceed 20% of the local jurisdiction’s roadways. A Safety Corridor Network should be consistent with the following requirements:
• Developed using at least one of the crash weighting factors listed in Table B1 • Identifies specific locations with high crash occurrences • Identifies corridor-level segments with a pattern of crash reoccurrence • Able to be stratified by mode
For more information on Safety Corridors, refer to CVC Section 22358.7(a)(1) of the CA MUTCD. 1 Table B1: Safety Corridor Factors

Safety Corridor Data Sources and Definitions
Crash Data
The City of Healdsburg’s Safety Corridor Network was developed using the most recent five (5) years of crash data (2019-2023) from SafeTREC’s Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS). 2 Only injury crashes on City-maintained, at-grade public roadways were included in the analysis (i.e., Property Damage Only crashes were excluded).

Disadvantaged Communities
The California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) Transportation Equity Index (EQI) was used to identify transportation-based priority populations (TBPPs) at the Census block level.

TBPPs represent the populations that are most burdened by traffic exposure, but also benefit the least from the multimodal transportation network (as measured by access to destinations). The EQI integrates transportation and socioeconomic indicators into three (3) screens, all of which reflect low-income status and Tribal Land status.

Vulnerable Populations by Age
Census block group-level demographic data from the most recent five-year American Community Survey (ACS) estimates (2019-2023) were used to identify vulnerable populations in the city.

Consistent with Table 2B-105(CA) of the CA MUTCD and CalEPA’s methodology for designating disadvantaged communities, a vulnerable population was defined as a Census block group that ranks in the top 25% of the City’s overall population of seniors and youth. The CA MUTCD defines seniors as individuals age 65 and older and youth as individuals under the age of 15.

Schools
The California School Campus Database (CSCD), as well as the Schools dataset from the County of Sonoma’s Open Data Portal, were used to identify public and private schools in the city.

Safety Corridor Methodology
The methodology for developing the City of Healdsburg’s Safety Corridor Network uses a proactive approach that involves incorporating crash factors in addition to known location-based risk factors, rather than relying solely on crash history. The methodology also incorporates the Highway Safety Manual (HSM)-recommended Sliding Window method3 that is referenced in the CA MUTCD. The Sliding Window method is a network screening method that uses overlapping 2 The Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) was developed by SafeTREC to provide quick, easy, and free access to California crash data, the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), that has been geo-coded by SafeTREC to make it easy to map crashes. 3 AASHTO, Highway Safety Manual, 1st Edition (2010), Chapter 4 Network Screening, p. 4-15.

roadway segments, or “windows,” to help smooth any errors in crash location reporting. For the City of Healdsburg, the City’s roadway network was converted into overlapping, ¼-mile segments.

Each segment was then scored based on the severity and density of crashes within 50 feet of it, as well as several other contextual factors. The scoring factors that were applied to all roadway segments to develop the City’s Safety Corridor Network are summarized in the following sections.

Crash Factors
The methodology used involves assigning a weight to certain types of crashes. For this analysis, each crash was assessed based on the following factors: crash severity, mode, and victim age.

Crash Severity
The scoring factor with the greatest influence on Safety Corridor prioritization is crash severity.

Crash severity weights were derived from 2024 Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM) crash costs by crash severity level. This method is similar to the HSM Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) weighting method,4 except it uses the “Complaint of Pain” severity level as its baseline since Property Damage Only (PDO) crashes were not included.

Cost assumptions included in the 2024 Caltrans LRSM are based on costs from the HSM First Edition, with costs adjusted to 2024 dollars. The HSM uses “comprehensive” or “societal” crash costs to associate crash costs with each crash severity level. Comprehensive costs include both economic costs and monetized pain and suffering costs. Economic costs are monetary costs associated with emergency services deployment, medical services, congestion impacts from a crash, productivity loss due to victim injury, insurance and legal costs, and property damage costs.

Monetized pain and suffering costs are an assumption of the costs associated with lost quality of life (or Quality-Adjusted Life Years), accounting for reductions in life expectancy and quality of life changes as a result of a crash.

Table B2 lists the estimated crash costs and weights for each severity level. This methodology uses all injury crashes in the Safety Corridor Network development process (as opposed to KSI crashes only).
4 The equivalent property damage only (EPDO) method assigns weighting factors related to the societal costs of fatal, injury, and property damage only crashes to crashes by severity to develop an equivalent property damage only score that considers frequency and severity of crashes. https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/local_rural/training/fhwasa14072/sec4.cfm

Evident Injury – Other Visible $193,000 2**
Possible Injury – Complaint of Pain $110,000 1
*The fatal and severe injury (KSI) crash cost is an average of the location type costs (signalized intersections, nonsignalized intersections, roadway). **Rounded to the nearest whole number.

Vulnerable Victim Factors
Two (2) additional crash factors, mode and victim age, were also considered to account for discrepancies in crash reporting, specifically for vulnerable road users. As discussed in the Recommendations for California Statewide Guidance on High Injury Networks report,5 because police assessment of injury severity is based on an officer’s primarily visual assessment of a victim at the scene of a crash, victim injuries are commonly underreported. To offset some of those reporting discrepancies and prioritize vulnerable road users, crashes involving a bicyclist or pedestrian and/or a CA MUTCD-defined youth or senior victim were assigned a weight of 3 for a maximum potential vulnerable victim score of 6. The goal of this additional weight was to elevate the score for a crash reported as non-severe (evident injury or possible injury) if the crash involved a vulnerable road user.

Once a crash score had been assigned to each crash, each crash was then associated with a roadway segment(s) using a 50-foot buffer. Crashes within 50 feet of two roadway segments (e.g., at an intersection) were assigned twice, once to each segment. As shown in Table B3, the cumulative crash score for a single crash (taking into account crash severity and vulnerable victims involved) can range from 1 to 32.

Location-Based Risk Factors
In addition to the crash factors described above, three (3) location-based risk factors were evaluated for each roadway segment: disadvantaged communities, vulnerable populations by age, and school proximity. The predictive, contextual nature of these factors can help to identify locations with high risk, rather than just locations with a history of KSI crashes. Segments within a disadvantaged community, a vulnerable population (by age), or a quarter mile of a school were assigned a weight of 3 for a maximum potential risk score of 9. For more information on the underlying data and methodologies used to assess these factors, see Safety Corridor Data Sources and Definitions on page B-2.

Overall Score: Safety Index
Cumulative scores for both crash and location-based risk factors were then summed together to calculate an overall Safety Index for each roadway segment. Based on the scoring for each variable shown in Table B3, the largest emphasis is on KSI crashes, with the other crash and location-based factors adding a nuance to the scoring that provides minor distinctions between the final scores for each segment. This nuance can help to manage the number of corridors that meet the cutoff for the final Safety Corridor Network without exceeding the CA MUTCD threshold of 20%.

*A victim is defined as any person killed or injured as the result of a crash.

Building the Network
Once a Safety Index had been assigned to each roadway segment, the highest scoring segments were identified according to CA MUTCD guidance, which states that Safety Corridors should not constitute more than 20% of the overall roadway network. Healdsburg’s Safety Corridor Network constitutes 19.9% of the overall roadway network and accounts for 100% of KSI crashes.

Smoothing the Network
Finally, a “smoothed” network was created by filling gaps and correcting anomalies in the resulting Safety Corridor Network. Any Safety Corridor links less than 1,000 feet in length were removed from the final network. If a non-Safety Corridor link less than ½ mile existed between

two (2) Safety Corridor links, it was added to the final network. Consideration was also given to locations where the City plans to implement additional bicycle and/or pedestrian infrastructure if adjacent to a Safety Corridor link.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2025
SUBJECT: Healdsburg Electrification Energy and Demand Forecasting 2025-2045 PREPARED BY: Terra Sampson, Utility Conservation Analyst STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Pursue Initiatives that Promote Environmental Stewardship Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Receive an informational report on the long-range energy and demand forecast to estimate future electricity consumption demands resulting from adoption rates of building and transportation electrification, and to inform the amount of new energy sources and system capacity improvements required.

2. Adopt a resolution accepting the "Most Likely" scenario forecast, with a planning margin, from the community-wide energy and demand forecasting and directing the Utility Director to bring forward additional renewable and zero-carbon resources for City Council consideration to meet State requirements.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

The development of a long-range electric energy and demand forecast was included in the Climate Mobilization Strategy (CMS), which involved a significant amount of outreach. In development of a long-range electric energy and demand forecast, staff held a public workshop in January 2025, to discuss initial results and was also invited to a Climate Action Healdsburg meeting in March 2025, to present initial results. Additionally, staff implemented an online survey in March 2025, to gather more public feedback on electrification adoption for incorporation into the final energy forecast.

BACKGROUND:

In October 2023, the City Council adopted the CMS. The adopted CMS includes measure BE1.1 to develop a long-range electric energy and demand forecast. This forecast is needed to guide the City in purchasing new renewable energy resources and the reconstruction of the City’s electric system ahead of the higher electric demands created by building and transportation electrification.

9.B
Packet Pg. 244
In February 2024, the City Council approved a Professional Service Agreement (PSA) with Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) to assist in the development of long-term energy and demand forecasts. Rincon and staff completed initial scenario forecasts and presented those results during a public workshop held in January 2025. In March 2025, the City Council approved an expanded scope with Rincon to further develop the scenario forecasts. In the development of the initial scenario forecasts, staff identified key areas influencing forecasted electricity consumption and peak demands needing further analysis and refinement. These areas included assumptions about what time of day and how quickly electric vehicles (EVs) will charge, impact of customer-owned solar, refinement of daily electricity consumption curves, and other improvements to the model’s assumptions. These adjustments were critical to creating accurate scenario forecasts to inform significant near-term and long-term financial decisions. Rincon and staff worked together on these updates and are now presenting the final energy and demand forecasting report and results.

The scenario forecasts are heavily dependent upon EV and building electrification adoption rates. Therefore, variations in adoption rates can cause a wide range in forecasted electricity consumption and peak demands. The “Most Likely” scenario takes into consideration community survey responses, current adoption trends and rebate program participation, CMS targets, and expected State regulations. The “Most Likely” forecast indicates that Healdsburg’s annual net electricity consumption could increase by 75% (nearly double) by 2045.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The Healdsburg Electric Department worked with Rincon to develop a 2023 baseline model of hourly electricity consumption. Scenarios with varying levels of electrification out to 2045 were then developed and applied to the baseline model, including scenarios for “Underachieve” the CMS, “Achieve” the CMS, “Overachieve” the CMS, and “Most Likely”.

The chart below shows the range of future annual net electricity consumption under the different scenarios, with a 75% increase in annual net electricity consumption in 2045 in the Most Likely scenario.

9.B
Packet Pg. 245
Annual Net Electricity Consumption (MWh) For Each Year of Each Modeled Scenario.

The above figure depicts the expected net electricity consumption of building and EVs in megawatt hours (MWh) for each year of each scenario with the inclusion of solar. Scenarios are ordered in highest achieving to lowest and the grouped bars for each year are in the same order as described in the legend. The exact value of each individual bar is described in the graph as white text.

The model also analyzed the hours with the highest consumption to understand potential changes and increases in peak demands. The chart below shows how peak demands might change in the future, depending on heat pump adoption and EV charging behaviors. The chart is based on EV charging using a “delayed – finish by departure” (i.e., have the charging completed by a specific time, typically the early morning) charging behavior to avoid evening peak demands. Charging behavior can be influenced by time of use rates, the new Home Energy Load Management Program, and outreach and education. A key insight from the model development is that EV charging will drive future peak demands.

9.B
Packet Pg. 246
Monthly Net Peak Demand (MWh) For Each Year of Each Modeled Scenario. The above figure depicts the expected monthly net peak demand in megawatt hours (MWh) for the maximum hour net electricity consumption for buildings and EVs across each year for each scenario with solar inclusion. The legend indicates the symbol to represent the time of day peak demand occurred in a given month.

The State’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Program and the Clean Energy, Jobs, and Affordability Act of 2022 set increasing renewable and zero-carbon requirements for electricity provided by electric utilities, such as Healdsburg Electric Department. The RPS requirement for 2030 is 60% renewable and the clean energy requirement for 2045 is 100% renewable and zerocarbon. As both the percentage requirement and electricity consumption increase, Healdsburg Electric must procure new renewable and zero-carbon resources.

The chart below illustrates the potential gap in renewable and zero-carbon resources to meet State requirements. For context, to meet the 2035 requirement of 90% clean energy (60% renewable plus 30% zero-carbon) in the Most Likely scenario, Healdsburg Electric would need an additional 23,000 MWh of solar generation (compared to current contracts), or about 52 acres of solar panels, and an approximately 4,000 MWh increase in average large hydroelectric generation, in addition to an assumed conversion of 11,000 MWh of the Lodi Energy Center fuel-generated power to green hydrogen already included in the Average Current/Planned line.

9.B
Packet Pg. 247
Comparison of Modeled Scenarios and Renewable and Zero-Carbon Procurement Needs.

The above figure depicts the annual electricity needed to meet the State requirements under the modeled scenarios in megawatt hours (MWh) and the currently planned procurement of renewable and carbon-free electricity. The gap demonstrates the renewable and zero-carbon resources that will need to be procured to meet the State requirements under the anticipated future conditions. Note that the chart only shows eligible renewables to 2030, and beginning in 2035 zero-carbon resources are also included.

This Energy and Demand Scenario Forecasting project is intended to assist Healdsburg Electric Department in planning for the future. Healdsburg Electric intends to use the findings to procure sufficient new energy resources, invest in infrastructure upgrades to accommodate the increasing electricity demands, and implement programs to help reduce grid impacts from electrification, such as the new Home Energy Load Management Program.

More detailed information about the scenario forecast development, methodology, results, and findings are included in the Energy and Demand Forecasting Report and Appendices, attached.

Staff will rely on these scenario forecasts to determine when and how much renewable energy to purchase and how much capital to invest in the City’s electric distribution system. Therefore, acceptance of these scenario forecasts becomes critical due to the significant financial commitment required to prepare for this higher electricity consumption.

Staff recommend accepting the “Most Likely” scenario plus a planning margin of 10% for annual electricity consumption to account for system losses and other aspects that were not included in the model or may be under-forecasted and a planning margin of 20% for peak

demands to account for instantaneous peak demands and State-required margins. City staff will work with Northern California Power Association (NCPA) to identify potential new renewable energy contracts to fill the gaps identified in the “Most Likely” scenario and bring new renewable and zero-carbon energy contracts to Council for consideration. Results from the “Most Likely” scenario will also be used to plan for necessary infrastructure upgrades, strategic program offerings (such as EV charging behaviors and leveraging battery storage), and incorporation into the next electric rates study for 2027.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Measure BE-1 in the CMS sets the goal to procure 85% of electricity from renewable and zerocarbon sources by 2030 (60% renewable consistent with the RPS requirement plus 15% zero carbon to achieve the CMS target) and 100% renewable and carbon-free no later than 2045. If achieved Measure BE-1 is expected to reduce GHG emissions by 2,171 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MT CO2e) in 2030 assuming modest adoption rates of building and transportation electrification. The long-range energy and demand forecasting helps inform the City as to how much renewable and zero-carbon energy is necessary to achieve this CMS measure.

ALTERNATIVES:

As an alternative, the City Council could choose to accept a different scenario presented in the Forecasting Report or direct staff to make modifications to the electrification adoption rates in the “Most Likely” scenario. Staff have been provided with the modeling tool and can make minor adjustments to the scenario inputs (such as the number of heat pumps installed or EVs added), if desired. However, adjustments that are more significant than changing the input numbers outlined in Appendix A, may require additional scope with the consultant.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The not-to-exceed amount of $114,713 for this forecasting project was covered by the Electric Operations fund (Fund 540). Acceptance of the Forecasting Report and directing staff to begin planning for the “Most Likely” scenario with a planning margin does not have a fiscal impact at this time. Staff will bring forward new energy contracts for City Council consideration and present the potential contract costs at that time. Any new program offerings or substantial updates to existing programs that impact the authorized program budget will be presented to City Council along with an explanation of the funding source for the program. New infrastructure projects and improvements will be considered during the next electric rate study for 2027. While costs to meet electric system needs with increased electrification will be substantial, the additional revenue from increased electricity sales will help support these future projects.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

An Energy and Demand Scenario Forecast is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because an Energy and Demand Scenario Forecast is not a project, since it will not have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect impact on the environment.

Long-Range Community Electricity Scenarios 1
1 Executive Summary
To achieve the goals of Healdsburg’s Climate Mobilization Strategy (CMS), and to meet increasing market trends, it is critical for Healdsburg Electric Department to forecast potential future community electricity scenarios for increasing electricity consumption and peak demands from building and transportation electrification.

The Healdsburg Electric Department worked with Rincon Consultants, Inc. to develop a 2023 baseline model of hourly electricity consumption. Scenarios with varying levels of electrification out to 2045 were then developed and applied to the baseline model, including scenarios for “Underachieve” the CMS, “Achieve” the CMS, “Overachieve” the CMS, and “Most Likely”.

The chart below shows the range of future annual net electricity consumption under the different scenarios, with a 75% increase in annual net electricity consumption in 2045 in the Most Likely scenario.

Annual Net Electricity Consumption (MWh) For Each Year of Each Modeled Scenario. The above figure depicts the expected net electricity consumption of building and EVs in megawatt hours (MWh) for each year of each scenario with the inclusion of solar. Scenarios are ordered in highest achieving to lowest and the grouped bars for each year are in the same order as described in the legend.

The exact value of each individual bar is described in the graph as white text.

The model also analyzed the hours with the highest consumption to understand potential changes and increases in peak demands. The chart below shows how peak demands might change in the future, depending on heat pump adoption and electric vehicle (EV) charging behaviors. The chart is based on EV charging using a “delayed – finish by departure” (i.e., have the charging completed by a

2 specific time, typically the early morning) charging behavior to avoid evening peak demands.

Charging behavior can be influenced by time of use rates, the new Home Energy Load Management Program, and outreach and education. A key insight from the model development is that EV charging will drive future peak demands.

Monthly Net Peak Demand (MWh) For Each Year of Each Modeled Scenario. The above figure depicts the expected monthly net peak demand in megawatt hours (MWh) for the maximum hour net electricity consumption for buildings and EVs across each year for each scenario with solar inclusion.

The legend indicates the symbol to represent the time of day peak demand occurred in a given month.

The State’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Program and the Clean Energy, Jobs, and Affordability Act of 2022 set increasing renewable and zero-carbon requirements for electricity provided by electric utilities, such as Healdsburg Electric Department. The RPS requirement for 2030 is 60% renewable and the clean energy requirement for 2045 is 100% renewable and zero-carbon.

As both the percentage requirement and electricity consumption increase, Healdsburg Electric must procure new renewable and zero-carbon resources.

The chart below illustrates the potential gap in renewable and zero-carbon resources to meet State requirements. For context, to meet the 2035 requirement of 90% clean energy (60% renewable plus 30% zero-carbon) in the Most Likely scenario, Healdsburg Electric would need an additional 23,000 MWh of solar generation (compared to current contracts), or about 52 acres of solar panels, and an approximately 4,000 MWh increase in average large hydroelectric generation, in addition to an assumed conversion of 11,000 MWh of the Lodi Energy Center fuel-generated power to green hydrogen already included in the Average Current/Planned line.

Comparison of Modeled Scenarios and Renewable and Zero-Carbon Procurement Needs. The above figure depicts the annual electricity needed to meet the State requirements under the modeled scenarios in megawatt hours (MWh) and the currently planned procurement of renewable and carbon-free electricity. The gap demonstrates the renewable and zero-carbon resources that will need to be procured to meet the State requirements under the anticipated future conditions. Note that the chart only shows eligible renewables to 2030, and beginning in 2035 zero-carbon resources are also included.

This Energy and Demand Scenario Forecasting project is intended to assist Healdsburg Electric Department in planning for the future. It is recommended for Healdsburg Electric to use the findings to procure sufficient new energy resources, invest in infrastructure upgrades to accommodate the increasing electricity demands, and implement programs to help reduce grid impacts from electrification, such as the new Home Energy Load Management Program.

4 2 Introduction
The City of Healdsburg recently adopted the Climate Mobilization Strategy (CMS) that identified several measures, actions, and projects to implement to reduce the community’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in alignment with state targets. A significant focus of the CMS is to electrify the building stock and transportation sector and further decarbonize these sectors through the increased procurement of renewable and carbon free electricity sources.

The increased demand for electricity and the focus on carbon free electricity will create new challenges for energy generation, transmission, and distribution within the city. Healdsburg Electric is responsible for procuring and delivering these energy sources for the community. To obtain and distribute adequate amounts of electricity that will meet electricity consumption and peak demand in an increasingly electrified city, a series of studies must be completed to understand electricity consumption and peak demand in the future under different electrification scenarios. Specifically, the intent of the study presented herein is to develop long-range community-wide electric energy and demand scenarios to estimate electricity consumption and peak demands under various adoption rates of building and transportation electrification.

This report details the methodology utilized to develop an energy and demand scenario forecasting model for Healdsburg Electric, and the findings of the model under several predetermined scenarios. The model was designed to help Healdsburg Electric to identify and prioritize electric capital improvement projects necessary for infrastructure changes and to develop a plan on how to obtain adequate resources to meet the demand and state renewable and carbon free energy targets.

2.1 Background on Electrification
Regulatory Drivers
Electrification efforts in Healdsburg are influenced by a range of regulatory frameworks at the federal, state, and local levels. These regulations establish the foundation for reducing GHG emissions, increasing renewable energy adoption, and improving energy efficiency to meet sustainability goals. The following sections outline key regulations driving electrification policies and initiatives.

Federal Regulations
At the federal level, the U.S. has established a range of policies to support electrification and emissions reductions:
▪ Energy Policy Act of 2005: Encourages energy efficiency and the development of renewable energy technologies. It also includes provisions for tax incentives and grants for clean energy projects.
▪ Inflation Reduction Act of 2022: Provides tax credits and rebates for electrification projects, including building retrofits, electric vehicle (EV) adoption, and clean energy investments. This act aims to accelerate electrification and decarbonization across multiple sectors. ▪ Clean Air Act: Regulates air pollutants and sets emission standards, indirectly promoting electrification as a cleaner energy alternative. Amendments under this act enable the

Long-Range Community Electricity Scenarios 5
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish emission limits for power plants and vehicles.
▪ Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (2021): Allocates funding for EV charging infrastructure, grid modernization, and clean energy technologies, making it a cornerstone for supporting electrification.

California Regulations
California has led the nation in ambitious climate policies and electrification targets:
▪ AB 32 - Global Warming Solutions Act (2006): Establishes California's commitment to reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and sets the groundwork for further reductions beyond 2020. It requires comprehensive strategies, including cap-and-trade programs, low-carbon fuel standards, and electrification measures, to achieve emissions reductions. ▪ SB 100 (2018) & SB 1020 (2022): Mandates 100% zero-carbon and renewable electricity by 2045, with incremental renewable energy procurement targets along the way. It requires utilities to gradually increase the share of renewables and zero-carbon sources in their energy portfolios (e.g., 60% renewable by 2030, 90% renewable and zero-carbon by 2035, 95% by 2040).
▪ Advanced Clean Cars Program: Requires automakers to produce increasing numbers of zeroemission vehicles (ZEVs). The program phases out gasoline-powered cars by 2035, aligning with California's electrification goals.
▪ Title 24 Building Standards: Establishes energy efficiency standards for new and existing buildings, including requirements for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, electric-ready infrastructure, and high-performance insulation to reduce energy demand and promote electrification.
▪ CALGreen Building Code: Introduces measures for energy efficiency, EV charging readiness, and low-emission building materials. It includes mandates for pre-wiring EV charging stations and renewable-ready features in new construction.
▪ Executive Order B-55-18: Sets a goal of statewide carbon neutrality by 2045, emphasizing electrification and renewable energy adoption to achieve significant GHG reductions. ▪ Zero-Emission Space and Water Heater Standards (under development for proposal): In a phased approach, new space or water heaters sold in California would be required to be zeroemission units. This regulation is part of California’s strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045.1
California Environmental Quality Act
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires projects to analyze and mitigate environmental impacts, including GHG emissions. Electrification is often included as a mitigation strategy to comply with CEQA requirements and reduce carbon footprints in new developments.

Projects may incorporate electrification technologies such as heat pumps and EV charging infrastructure to meet environmental standards and streamline approvals. 1 Zero-Emission Space and Water Heater Standards | California Air Resources Board

6 Local Regulations
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) regulates stationary sources of air pollution in the nine counties that surround San Francisco Bay2. The Board oversees policies and adopts regulations for the control of air pollution, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) within the district.

While Healdsburg is located in the North Sonoma County Air Pollution Control District, the regulations overseen by BAAQMD can impact surrounding air districts and areas and thereby influence Healdsburg. On March 15, 2023 the BAAQMD Board adopted amendments to Rule 9-4:

Nitrogen Oxides from Fan Type Residential Central Furnaces and Rule 9-6: Nitrogen Oxides Emissions from Natural Gas-Fired Boilers and Water Heaters. 3 These rules govern point of sale
emission standards for small, typically residential and commercial, water and space heating systems.

Emissions of nitrogen oxides impact local and regional air quality and contribute to the formation of ozone and secondary particulate matter.

Rules 9-6 and 9-4 are expected to change market demand for water and space heating appliances in the Bay Area and surrounding areas. NOx-emitting gas appliances are currently the default appliance option for heating and cooling space and water across California. As the updated Rules take effect in a phased approach, for NOx-emitting gas water heaters and furnaces that start to fail or “burnout,” the Rules mandate that they may only be replaced with zero-NOx appliances in BAAQMD areas. Electric appliances are currently the only zero-NOx technologies available on the market. Heat pump water heaters (HPWH) and heat pump heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HP HVAC) are currently the most cost-effective appliance options of these electric options.

Accordingly, HPWH and HP HVAC installations are expected to increase significantly across the Bay Area beginning in 2027 and 2029.

Additionally, Sonoma County has adopted various climate and electrification policies aimed at reducing GHG emissions and transitioning to cleaner energy:
▪ Sonoma Climate Mobilization Strategy: Sonoma County’s Regional Climate Protection Authority has adopted goals to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.4 The County's goals include increasing building energy efficiency, expanding renewable energy use, transitioning equipment from fossil fuels to electricity, reducing travel demand through focused growth, and increasing carbon sequestration.
▪ Climate Action and Resiliency Division: Sonoma County provides financing options and free consultations for energy projects.

Healdsburg has implemented several local regulations to promote electrification and reduce GHG emissions:
▪ Electrification Reach Code: In 2019 and 2022, Healdsburg adopted an Electrification Reach Code requiring all new residential and commercial buildings to utilize electric space and water heating systems.5 This ordinance aimed to reduce natural gas consumption in new construction, aligning with the city's sustainability goals. Enforcement has been paused, following a federal court 2 The Bay Area refers to all BAAQMD governed geographic regions across the Bay Area’s nine counties: San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, Napa, Sonoma, and Marin County.

ruling indicating that local ordinances preventing the use of gas appliances are overridden by federal law.
▪ Climate Mobilization Strategy (CMS): Adopted in October 2023, the CMS outlines measures to reduce carbon emissions by 2030.6 Key initiatives include procuring electricity from renewable and zero-carbon sources, electrifying new buildings, and retrofitting existing structures to reduce GHG emissions.
▪ Implementation Plan: As part of the CMS, Healdsburg developed an Implementation Plan detailing key actions.7
Market Trends
The shift toward electrification in residential and commercial building systems, as well as the adoption of EVs, is significantly reshaping the energy landscape in California and beyond. Key trends highlight the growing role of heat pump technologies, such as HPWH and HP HVAC, in the transition to a decarbonized economy.

Electric Water Heaters and Space Heating
In California, the adoption of electric water heaters and electric space heating systems has been rapidly increasing with growing heat pump technology. Between 2009 and 2019, the number of electric water heaters installed almost doubled, rising from 6 percent to 11 percent of the market share. Similarly, the penetration of electric space heating systems, which include air source heat pumps (ASHP), grew from 5 percent to 20 percent of homes during the same period.8 This increase is a response to both climate goals and market incentives. Notably, air source heat pumps are becoming more widespread, offering energy efficiency gains, and reducing reliance on fossil fuels for heating and hot water production.

Heat Pump Market Dynamics
The global supply chain for heat pump technologies is complex, with key manufacturing hubs spanning across the U.S. and other parts of the world. U.S.-based manufacturers have become significant players in the production of heat pumps, contributing to the country's role as a net exporter of heat pump technologies, especially to Europe.9 The market for HPWH and HP HVAC systems has been bolstered by both federal and state incentives, which support consumer adoption and reward the transition from gas-fired appliances to electric heat pump alternatives.10 HP HVAC systems, which offer both heating and cooling, currently exhibit higher market penetration (20 percent) than HPWHs (11 percent).11 This is largely due to increasing demand for air conditioning in the context of a warming climate and the relative maturity of the technology.

8 contrast, HPWHs, while commercially available for only about a decade, have experienced significant growth in the last three years despite still having a modest market share of approximately 1 percent. Sales of gas water heaters have been on the decline, with electric water heaters, including heat pump water heaters, overtaking gas models in December 2023 for the first time.12
Decarbonization and Electricity Resources
As California and other jurisdictions implement ambitious decarbonization goals, such as those set forth in the California Climate Scoping Plan, demand for heat pumps is expected to increase exponentially.13 This will require careful electric utility planning to meet increased electricity consumption and changing peak demands.

Benefits to Electrification
Building and transportation electrification provide several benefits such as those summarized below:
▪ Health: Commonly used appliances that burn gas, including stoves, heating systems, and water heaters, emit hazardous air pollutants inside a home when improperly ventilated, or when leaks occur. These can include nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, particular matter and other harmful pollutants that increase the risk of respiratory disease.14,15,16,17 Given that Californians spend 70 percent of a given day indoors,18 indoor air quality is an important health consideration for many. Gas usage in buildings causes outdoor air pollution as well and has generated six times more nitrogen oxides emissions than all in-state power plants combined.19 Outdoor air pollution from buildings has been linked to pre-mature deaths in California.20
▪ Safety: Gas infrastructure carries an inherent safety risk due to the volatile nature of gas, including risk of methane leakage, damage during earthquakes, accidental explosions, or fires. 12 https://newbuildings.org/heat-pump-water-heater-sales-in-2022-signal-a-decisive-shift-in-water-heating-trends/; https://www.ahrinet.org/system/files/2024-02/December%202023%20Statistical%20Release.pdf 13 https://efiling.energy.ca.gov/GetDocument.aspx?tn=242595 14 Krasner, A., Jones, T.

Long-Range Community Electricity Scenarios 9
Nationwide, gas ignites over 4,000 home structure fires annually, causing on average 40 deaths and $54 million in property damage each year.21
▪ Energy Affordability: Gas infrastructure costs are expected to increase over the next several decades as more substantial infrastructure upgrades are required. The California Public Utility Commission generally allows each gas utility to increase gas rates based on the necessary expenditure to keep gas systems operational. Increased utility expenditures on the gas system are therefore expected to lead to escalating consumer costs that will likely impact low-income households significantly.22 Without any building electrification or renewable gas use, the cost of natural gas is expected to double from approximately $1.5 per therm to $3 per therm by 2050.23 These projected increases are already being seen in Northern California, with 2023 winter gas prices 32 percent higher than 2022.
24 Upgrading buildings to all-electric is also an
opportunity to complete other building upgrades such as air sealing and insulation, which can reduce energy costs and improve affordability.
▪ Resilience: When coupled with solar and battery energy storage, all-electric buildings can mitigate impacts of power outages. While a common misconception is that gas appliances provide a redundant system during power outages, gas appliances like water heaters, stoves, and space heaters typically cannot function without electricity to power the fans and controls needed for operation. Clean back-up power is therefore an important asset when the utility grid is down. Local solar paired with battery storage is also good for grid resilience in the region.

Electrification provides an opportunity for increased investment in the electrical grid and improved local resiliency in a safe and healthy way. For example, pairing HP HVAC units with good air filtration and home weatherization can protect residents from wildfire smoke during fires.
▪ High-road Local Jobs: New electrification policies and requirements support opportunities for new local jobs and existing local businesses in construction, building trades, and the “clean and green” economy, key components of Healdsburg’s economic development strategy.25 ▪ Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction: Gas usage in buildings accounted for 20 percent of Healdsburg’s GHG emissions in 2018.
26 The proportion of emissions coming from gas is
projected to increase as the emissions from electricity continue to reduce to meet state renewable and zero-carbon electricity targets.
27 This means that any appliance converted from
gas to electric will have reduced GHG operation in 2030. Reducing GHG emissions in Healdsburg 21 Ahrens, M. & Evarts, B. (2018).

10 will contribute to Healdsburg’s CMS goals to reduce per capita emissions by at least 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.28
Climate Mobilization Strategy Goals
In October of 2023, the Healdsburg CMS was adopted. This details the Measures and Actions Healdsburg will take in the coming years to reduce community-wide emissions by at least 40 percent in alignment with the states 2030 goal and to work towards carbon neutrality by 2045.

According to the results of the 2018 GHG inventory, the largest source of GHG emissions in Healdsburg was from on-road transportation, which accounted for 55 percent of total emissions.

The second largest source of GHG emissions was from natural gas usage in residential and nonresidential buildings, combined to account for 20 percent of total emissions. Natural gas is used to heat water, homes, and businesses and to power gas-powered appliances. Electricity usage accounted for the third largest source of emissions, with residential and non-residential usage combining for a total of 14 percent of total emissions in Healdsburg. As such, the Measures focus heavily on decarbonizing the transportation and building sector through electrifying the building stock and vehicles in conjunction with increasing procurement of renewable and carbon-free electricity sources for the community. For Healdsburg Electric to acquire the necessary amount of renewable and carbon-free electricity and plan for the increased electricity consumption through natural community growth and increasing electrification, it must first understand the anticipated future electricity consumption and peak electrical demand in the community under various electrification scenarios. The following specific CMS Measures were considered while developing the energy and demand scenario forecasting model discussed in this report:
▪ Measure BE-2: Continue to adopt an Electrification Reach Code for all new residential and commercial buildings with each triannual code cycle. Consider updating electrification ordinance to eliminate natural gas consumption in new construction for the 2025 California Building Standards Code and moving forward.29
▪ Measure BE-3: Decarbonize residential building stock by 8% by 2030. ▪ Measure BE-4: Decarbonize non-residential building stock by 5% by 2030. ▪ Measure T-4: Increase passenger zero-emission vehicle use and adoption to 30% by 2030. ▪ Measure T-5: Increase commercial zero-emission vehicle use and adoption to 40% by 2030.

The following section details how varying levels of CMS implementation were modeled to determine electricity consumption and peak demand in 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, and 2045. 28 City of Healdsburg. Climate Mobilization Study (2023). 29 This measure is currently paused and will be reviewed during the 2025 California Building Code adoption cycle. Additionally, the 2025 Building Code includes an “electric preferred” structure that will promote use of heat pumps over gas appliances and further supports building electrification in the city.

3 Model Development

3.1 Intent
The intent of this project was to develop a dynamic long-range energy and demand model (Model) for the Healdsburg community that Healdsburg Electric can use to estimate electricity consumption and peak demand through 2045 under various electrification scenarios. These insights will help support decision-making on electricity procurement and infrastructure investments to meet future electricity consumption and peak demands.

3.2 Approach
The energy and demand model developed for Healdsburg Electric uses various data sources to model city-wide baseline electricity consumption and forecast future electricity consumption and peak demand on an hourly basis across a calendar year. The following sections detail the data sources utilized and provide an overview of the methodology employed. The following summarizes the process:

1. Baseline Energy Consumption Model: Established an average hourly city-wide electricity curve for Healdsburg, disaggregated by sector (residential, commercial), building type, and select end-use appliances.

2. Model Features: Includes toggles for inputting new commercial and residential buildings by building type, adding solar PV arrays, EV charging needs, EV charging behavior, and natural gas appliances converted to electric appliances for each building type.

3. Scenario Development: Different future energy and demand scenarios were created by inputting specific parameter changes (i.e., number of new homes, installed solar arrays, appliance conversions), which result in changes to hourly electricity consumption compared to the base model scenario.

4. Results: Generated on an hourly, monthly and annual basis, showing electricity consumption and peak demand.

This approach allows for dynamic modeling of future electricity needs. As the City gains new information (such as EV or heat pump adoption rates) the model can be easily used to analyze the impacts of electrification of buildings and vehicles on electricity consumption and peak demand over time.

This report provides results for the following energy and demand impacts:
• Electricity consumption: electricity consumed for buildings and transportation over a period of time (e.g., annually, monthly, or hourly), before on-site solar generation impacts • Net electricity consumption: electricity consumption including on-site solar generation impacts

3.3 Methodology
Scenario Development
While any scenario can be modeled with the developed model, Healdsburg initially developed five specific scenarios to demonstrate the potential peak demand and annual electricity consumption in 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, and 2045. These different scenarios reflect the anticipated electricity consumption and peak demand under various levels of CMS implementation. The scenarios are defined as follows:
▪ Business-as-Usual (BAU)31: The number of appliance replacements by building type by year is based on current market trends continuing through 2045. New homes are assumed to be mixed fuel based on the current average building through 2045. ▪ Underachieve CMS: The goals of the CMS for building and vehicle electrification are under achieved. 80% of new homes are assumed to be all electric by 2045. ▪ Achieve CMS: The goals of the CMS for building and vehicle electrification are achieved. 95% of new homes are assumed to be all electric by 2045.
▪ Overachieve CMS: The 2030 goals of the CMS for building and vehicle electrification are exceeded, where 100% electrification of the building and transportation sector is achieved by 2045.
▪ Most Likely: Based on input from Healdsburg residents obtained through a community survey32 on expected electrification adoption, as well as current trends within the city, this scenario was developed to represent the most likely scenario to occur. Under this scenario it is anticipated that residential building electrification goals of the CMS will be exceeded, non-residential building electrification goals will be achieved for 2030 and exceeded by 2045, and electrification of the transportation sector will be slightly underachieved. 90% of new homes are assumed to be all electric by 2045.

Table 2 summarizes the building and transportation electrification conditions assumed for each scenario (Underachieve, Achieve, Overachieve, and Most Likely) for both the 2030 and 2045 target years. New building electrification estimates are based on both the percentage of new buildings which are all electric (Table 2) as well as the number of new buildings expected to be constructed.

Table 3 shows the total number of buildings expected to be in operation for each milestone year through 2045. New construction was calculated by subtracting the baseline building stock (2023) from the forecasted building stock. Input values for existing residential building electrification are based on current equipment numbers in Healdsburg determined using ResStock data sets (Table 4) and the percent electrification assumed in each scenario for 2030 and 2045. Values between the baseline (2023) and 2030 and between 2030 and 2045 were interpolated. 31 It was determined that the BAU scenario was not representative of conditions in Healdsburg, as electrification and EV trends in Healdsburg have already outpaced the market trends observed in the 2023 baseline year. Therefore, for the purpose of this report the BAU model results are not presented or further discussed. 32 View Appendix C for detailed results from the Community Electrification Survey.

Packet Pg. 273 Attachment: Healdsburg Energy and Demand Forecasting Report (4680 : Healdsburg Electrfication Energy and Demand Forecasting) Model Development
Long-Range Community Electricity Scenarios 15
Input values for existing non-residential building electrification are based on current equipment numbers in Healdsburg determined using Comstock data sets (Table 5) and the percent electrification assumed in each scenario for 2030. In all scenarios except for the Overachieve and Most Likely scenario, equipment replacement in non-residential buildings post 2030 is assumed to continue to follow the annual replacement trend determined for the preceding 2030 years. The compound annual growth rate for equipment replacement in non-residential buildings between the baseline (2023) and 2030 was utilized to determine equipment replacement post-2030 through 2045 in all scenarios except for the Overachieve and Most Likely scenario where 100% and 45% electrification was assumed, respectively.

Input values for light-duty and heavy-duty EV penetration were determined based on the forecasted vehicle population for Healdsburg developed as part of the Healdsburg CMS and based on Department of Motor Vehicle registration data for the city. Data was further disaggregated by lightduty and heavy-duty vehicle types and the percent EV penetration for each vehicle type assigned for each scenario in 2030 and 2045. Values between the baseline (2023) and 2030 and between 2030 and 2045 were interpolated.

As mentioned above, for the Overachieve scenario, it is assumed the new buildings, existing buildings and vehicles are fully electrified by 2045. This provides an upper limit for possible electricity consumption and peak demands. See Appendix A for the complete set of model inputs by variable for each modeled year (e.g., 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045).

16 ComStock™ and Healdsburg Electric meter data were utilized to determine the electricity consumption by building type in the Healdsburg climate zone.

Building Types
Sonoma County Assessor data for Healdsburg and Healdsburg Electric account data was utilized to determine the number of existing buildings in Healdsburg in the Residential and Commercial sector in 2023. Analysis of assessor data in conjunction with ResStock and ComStock subsector definitions was utilized to establish a comprehensive list of building types that make up Healdsburg’s building stock in the baseline energy demand curve. These include:
▪ Residential
o Single-family
o Multi-family
▪ Commercial
o Office
o Retail
o Warehouse
o Restaurant
o Small Hotel
o Other
New building construction projections were developed for each building type through 2045.

Standard residential building growth was determined by applying an annual compound growth rate of 0.17%, obtained from the Sonoma County Regional Climate Protection Authority (RCPA) Climate Action Plan to the existing residential building stock. This projection is also used in Healdsburg’s CMS GHG forecasting. In addition to the standard growth rate in the residential sector, Healdsburg is on track to meet Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) requirements for the 2023-2031 cycle. To account for the additional residential building stock growth due to building development in response to RHNA, the number of additional RHNA homes to be built through 2045 were calculated by applying the compound annual growth rate of RHNA homes from the 2023-2031 cycle to future years. The number of anticipated additional RHNA households were added to the standard projected households to determine the total number of new households anticipated to be added through 2045.

Based on information from Healdsburg, the scenarios assume that all RHNA households added to the city’s building stock from the 2023-2031 cycle will be multi-family homes. Analysis of the last 10 years of County assessor data indicated that on average 11.7 single-family homes are built per year.

Therefore, for the purposes of this project, post the current RHNA cycle, ending in 2031, it was assumed that total single-family homes added to the city’s building stock would be 11.7 per year. All RHNA households and excess new growth beyond the estimated single-family homes were attributed to multi-family units.

County assessor data was utilized to determine the annual compound growth rate of commercial buildings by subcategory that occurred over the last decade. For the purposes of this project, it was assumed that commercial building growth would continue as it has in the past and the same annual compound growth rate was applied to the existing commercial building stock to project future commercial building stock numbers through 2045.

Residential Electricity Consumption and Peak Demand
City of Healdsburg Meter Data (meter data) was provided by Healdsburg Electric from the year 2023 to develop a baseline example of city-wide single and multi-family residential electricity consumption and peak demand. The data provided was consolidated into hourly intervals spanning an entire year. This data was consolidated to represent a single home, then multiplied by the number of houses described in Table 3; EV inputs were excluded from this dataset. Existing solar generation for residential customers acquired from Healdsburg Electric are accounted for in the base model and all future scenarios for the residential sector though it is not disaggregated by building type.

Commercial Electricity Consumption and Peak Demand
ComStock data was used to develop the base model for city-wide commercial buildings including small hotels, small office buildings, full-service restaurants, stand-alone retail buildings, warehouses, and other buildings. All the buildings in this list were captured within the downloaded ComStock data with the exception of other buildings, which were calculated using the average of the buildings excluding restaurants. Each of these building base models from ComStock were aggregated to the hour over an entire year and do not include solar or EV charging. The kilowatt-hour (KWH) for each building was divided by the modeled square feet provided by ComStock, to determine the electricity consumption per square foot, and then multiplied by the estimated square feet of all buildings within this category currently existing within the city (Table 3).

Existing solar generation for commercial customers acquired from Healdsburg Electric were added to the ComStock base models and therefore included in all future modeled scenarios as well.

Provided data was not able to be disaggregated by building type, therefore existing solar for commercial buildings is incorporated at the sector level.

Healdsburg Energy and Demand Forecasting
18 ComStock and ResStock Building End Use and Savings Models ComStock and ResStock provide multiple data outputs that can be used to better understand a particular region’s building stock and the impacts of energy efficiency and electrification strategies on overall energy and demand. Two major datasets were leveraged for Healdsburg’s electrification demand analysis. The first is the building stock analysis which utilizes each model’s annual metadata which includes information on what energy consuming equipment is found in each individual building model. This information includes both the equipment type and energy use (i.e., electricity, natural gas, etc.) for space heating and cooling, water heating, clothes washing and drying, and cooking appliances as well as pool heaters, spas, lighting and other end uses that were identified through the NREL survey process. End uses for Sonoma County are summarized in the Building End Use section below. This data provided the percentage of appliances which could be electrified within Healdsburg.

The modeled savings curves for climate zone 3C were also utilized for scenario forecasting models.

These curves show the average energy use and savings compared to the baseline for an array of efficiency and electrification projects. The results are calculated by summing up the energy use from across thousands of modeled buildings within the 3C climate zone. For residential buildings, the total savings was divided by the number of residential buildings modeled to get an average single building saving curve for new residential buildings and energy use or savings curves for each appliance type. For commercial buildings, the total savings was divided by the number of square feet modeled for each commercial building type to get an average savings curve per square foot by building type and appliance. This means that within this average building there are fractions of many uses that not all buildings have (including spas, pool heating, and cooling). Therefore, the electricity/energy use of one average building is not reflective of having a particular technology, but when all buildings are summed, the outcome does reflect the estimated rate of adoption of these end uses within the city.

Building End-Use
An appliance fuel sources analysis was completed for Healdsburg residential and commercial building stock using data obtained from ResStock and ComStock. Because the sample size for just Healdsburg in ResStock and Comstock was small, the data sets for the entirety of Sonoma County were utilized to be representative of Healdsburg. ResStock and Comstock data sets were utilized to determine the prevalence of different appliance technology by fuel type (e.g., electric, natural gas, other fuel) and to estimate total electricity consumption by electric end-use appliances for each previously defined building type. The prevalence of different appliance technologies was used to determine the primary end-uses in Healdsburg to be included in the Model as well as for forecasting the number of non-electric appliances that could be transitioned from gas to electric power.

Electricity use consumption by appliance type was utilized in the Model when forecasting additional electricity load that would be expected by transitioning from a natural gas to an electric appliance.

Table 4 summarizes the number of gas-fueled appliances available for transition to electric in the baseline year and the anticipated added electricity load per appliance in residential buildings based off the ResStock dataset. Total electricity consumption is the sum of all hourly values over an entire year for a single appliance, and the maximum is for a single hour within the year.33 33 The single-hour maximum for an appliance is based on the highest consumption for one hour for the appliance over the course of the year. Depending on the appliance, this may occur at any point throughout the year. As this is the maximum demand over an aggregated hour, the peak (kW) for a given moment may be higher.

1 Electricity consumption based on conversion of non-electric water heating to a heat pump water heater. 2Electricity consumption for standard HVAC is based on conversion of non-electric heating to a minimum-efficiency heat pump (SEER 15, 9 HSPF) and for a high efficiency HVAC is based on conversion of all non-electric or less-efficiency electrical heating to a highefficiency heat pump (SEER 24, 13 HSPF). 3 Electricity consumption based on conversion to a heat pump HVAC accounts for the change in electricity demand associated with heating and cooling. Based on ResStock end-use analysis, approximately 25% of single-family homes and 35% of multi-family homes have no central AC or room AC so are assumed to currently not use electricity for cooling. For homes without cooling appliances, the conversion to a heat pump HVAC would result in increased heating and cooling electricity demand. See Appendix B for details on enduse of appliances modeled by ResStock for Healdsburg region. 4 Electricity consumption based on conversion of non-electric ranges to electric ranges. 5Electricity consumption based on conversion of non-electric dryers to electric resistance dryers.

Table 5 summarizes the number of appliances available for conversion to electric or more electrically efficient appliances in the baseline year and the anticipated added electricity load per appliance in non-residential buildings based on the ComStock dataset. ComStock savings curves utilized to determine the electricity usage and demand for conversion of commercial roof top units (RTUs) to heat pump RTUs assumes replacement of natural gas and electric resistance RTUs, meaning that there is both an electricity increase for replacement of natural gas RTUs and an electricity savings for replacement of electric resistance RTUs with more efficient heat pump RTUs.

ComStock assumes there are approximately 192 gas RTUs and 52 electric resistance RTUs in Healdsburg. The electricity usage and demand included herein for boiler replacement assumes the replacement of natural gas boilers with an air-source heat pump for space heating. The replacement of natural gas commercial cooking equipment with electric equipment is assumed for buildings with kitchen spaces. ComStock did not have electricity savings curves for replacement of commerical hot water heaters, therefore, no electricity demand curves for commercial hot water heater conversions

20 are included in the Model. For new commercial buildings added to Healdsburg's building stock it was assumed that HVAC systems would be 100% electric while commercial kitchens would follow existing trends, e.g., of being mixed fuel appliances and therefore it was assumed only 50% of kitchens would be all-electric. This aligns with the upcoming Title 24 2025 code which has expanded heat pump HVAC requirements to additional buiding types such as offices.34 Total electricity consumption is the sum of all hourly values over an entire year for a single appliance, and the maximum electricity consumption is for a single hour within the year. 35 Negative values represent electricity loads that save electricity and a reduction in electrical use.

Electrification Savings Curves by Appliance

END USE SAVINGS SHAPES
Several appliance types were identified as likely upgrades from natural gas to electric for Healdsburg in coming years and were chosen as closest predictors for electrical demand by building type. End Use Savings Shapes (EUSS) were used to model each appliance electrical demand, by building type.

The EUSS data sets present the overall energy savings associated with various upgrades as well as disaggregates the energy demand by fuel source including natural gas, electricity, and other fuels. In most cases the conversion of appliances from natural gas to electricity results in net energy savings but an increase in electricity consumption.

ComStock and ResStock provide EUSS for a variety of energy efficiency and electrification actions including replacing gas water heaters with HPWH and replacing gas furnaces with HP HVAC units.

Each of these datasets (22 in total) were aggregated to the hour mark and represent a single appliance so they could be easily scaled up when modeling future scenarios. ResStock 2022.1 series savings curves from Upgrade 7 were used to model the electricity impact associated with switching from a natural gas appliance to an electric alternative. Because the ResStock Upgrade 7 is for whole home electrification, each appliance modeled was disaggregated from the data set to model electricity impact associated with dryer, kitchen range, hot water heater and HVAC conversion from natural gas to electric. ComStock 2024.1 series savings curves from Upgrades 8 and 22 were utilized to model the electricity impact associated with boiler and kitchen equipment conversion from natural gas to electric. ComStock does not have a model for electricity impact associated with just fuel conversion measures of RTU and HVAC equipment to heat pumps. Therefore, ComStock 2024.1 series savings curves from Upgrade 1 was used to model the electricity impact associated with replacement of both gas-fired and electric resistance RTUs with a high-efficiency heat pump RTU.

ComStock does not have a model for the electricity impact associated with fuel conversion of hot water heaters and therefore, the Model does not include electricity usage and demand impacts for hot water heater conversion in commercial buildings. The datasets by Upgrade are defined as follows:

Residential
- Upgrade 7 – Whole home electrification std. efficiency (used to pull individual appliance curves)

9.B.b
Packet Pg. 280 Attachment: Healdsburg Energy and Demand Forecasting Report (4680 : Healdsburg Electrfication Energy and Demand Forecasting) City of Healdsburg

22 - Upgrade 11 – Whole home electrification and envelope upgrade (used for new whole home electrification curves)
Commercial
- Upgrade 1 – Heat Pump Rooftop Package Unit (HVAC)
- Upgrade 8 – Heat Pump Boiler (for space heating)
- Upgrade 22 – Electric Kitchen

NEW BUILDING ESTIMATES
New residential buildings were also modeled using EUSS from ResStock using the whole home electrification and envelope upgrade scenario (Upgrade 11 from the 2024.2 series)36 and represent one new single-family or multi-family dwelling. Solar PV adoption (required by CA building code) was incorporated into the new single-family homes by adding a 3.5 kW array for each single-family home added. A 3.5 KW array equates to an annual energy offset of roughly 6,000 kWh. ComStock does not have a whole building electrification scenario for new commercial buildings due to the variation in the appliances and conditions that are relevant for each commercial building type.

Further, current building codes do not target commercial buildings for whole building electrification.

Therefore, new commercial buildings were modeled assuming the same energy profile as existing commercial buildings. This is conservative as new commercial buildings experience increased efficiency and some electrification compared with existing buildings. To account for the likely level of electrification that new commercial buildings would undergo and increasing heat pump or electric-ready requirements in CA building code, it was assumed that 100% of new commercial buildings would install an electric heat pump RTU and 50% would install electric kitchen equipment.

This was accounted for in modeled scenarios by adding 100% of the new building RTUs and 50% of the new building kitchen equipment to the number of existing building equipment numbers input into the Model for conversion.

Solar Arrays
The number of residential and commercial solar arrays to be added to the grid were forecasted based on historic Healdsburg data. Healdsburg Electric provided solar array data including number of arrays and array capacity added to the grid since 2002. Based on this data, on average, approximately 24 residential solar arrays37 with an average nameplate capacity of 6 kW and approximately 2 commercial solar arrays with an average nameplate capacity of 84 kW have been added to the grid each year in the past decade. Solar arrays added to multi-family buildings are included in the commercial solar array values. It was assumed that this trend would continue in Healdsburg through 2045. While storage batteries also exist in the city, battery storage impacts were excluded from modeling at this time due to the understanding that most batteries are currently used as backup resources and are not actively managed for reducing peak loads. Table 6 summarizes the total number of solar arrays and additional capacity that is assumed to exist in the modeled year. All scenarios were run assuming the same trend of solar array addition over time. 36 https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy24osti/89600.pdf
37 Residential averages exclude new construction, as the model already accounts for included solar in new single-family construction.

The current vehicle counts by fuel type registered to the 95448 zip code for Healdsburg was obtained from the DMV Open Data Portal. In 2024 there were 20,357 registered vehicles in Healdsburg of which 18,510 were light-duty vehicles and 1,847 were heavy-duty vehicles. Of the registered vehicles, 924 of the light-duty vehicles were designated as plug-in EVs while 4 heavy-duty vehicles were designated as plug-in EVs. This data was utilized as the baseline to forecast both the future vehicle numbers in Healdsburg in alignment with anticipated growth as well as forecast the number of plug-in EVs based on the defined scenario goals. Table 7 summarizes the number of EVs anticipated to be added to Healdsburg by year by scenario.

24 Electric vehicle charging data was obtained using Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Projection Tool Lite (EVI-Pro Lite). The EVI-Pro Lite tool includes default Worst Case, Best Case, and Base Case scenarios to evalute how different charging behavior impacts electricity demand. For informational purposes the default Worst Case, Best Case, and Base Case scenarios are defined below. These cases were evalauted but it was determined that different selections within the EVI-Pro Lite tool would be more representative of Healdsburg, such as vehicle miles traveled, home charging, and other inputs.

Therefore, a Healdsburg-specific EV charging case that best represented expected Healdsburg EV conditions was developed and incorporated into the Model. Because temperature effects EV charging battery range, winter and summer scenarios were modeled and compiled in the Model to better represent EV charging demand throughout the year. The Healdsburg-specific EV charging case is defined as follows, with details on the input parameters provided in the Table 8:
▪ Healdsburg-specific Case: Representative of expected Healdsburg charging behavior. ▪ Default Base Case: Representative of typical charging behavior for the region. ▪ Default Best Case: Representative of the best charging behavior where the demand curve is smoother through strategic charging times.
▪ Default Worst Case: Representative of the worst charging behavior where the peaks of the demand curve are exacerbated by charging occurring all at once.

1 Based on Healdsburg VMT data utilized for the CMS, vehicles on average travel 18 miles a day. The lowest daily travel option available in EVI-Pro Lite was for 25 miles.
2 While this behavior is not what is currently practiced by most Healdsburg residents, Healdsburg chose to model this scenario as the city will aim to implement a large education campaign, time of use strategy, and other programs to encourage EV charging behaviors that reduce peak demands.

This dataset models demand (kW) for 15-minute intervals within a single day (weekday and weekend day) depending on the input parameters. Rincon averaged the 15-minute kW demand over an hour to convert to kWh. Then each day was replicated for weekday/weekend day over an entire year before being applied to the base model to calculate future modeled scenarios. EV charging electricity consumption is based on the size of the fleet added to the model. Vehicle numbers determined from the DMV Open Data Portal were used to model the EV fleet size. The number of EV vehicles added to the model can be done in increments of 500.

A check of the EVI-Lite tool was completed using vehicle miles traveled (VMT) data from Healdsburg CMS obtained from a travel demand model. Annual forecasted VMT was translated to electricity needs for charging based on vehicle energy efficiency (e.g., kwh per mile) values obtained from EMFAC2021 to backcheck electricity needs determined by EVI-Pro Lite modeled values. This backcheck was within 2% of EVI-Pro Lite cumulative results for the Healdsburg-specific case. The percent error between EVI-Pro Lite modeled values and the backcheck electricity needs was least when the CMS VMT values were nearest a multiple of 500 as the EVI vehicles were modeled in the tool in increments of 500. Additionally, the backcheck values were lower than EVI-Pro Lite modeled results. This is due to EVI-Pro Lite background data using a daily mileage that is greater than that anticipated in Healdsburg. Based on the VMT data available for Healdsburg, light-duty vehicles travel on average 19 miles per day while heavy-duty vehicles travel on average 7 miles per day.

Because the lowest daily mileage that can be modeled with EVI-Pro Lite is 25 miles per day, EVI-Pro Lite produced an overestimate of electricity needs for Healdsburg registered vehicles. However, because EV charging in Healdsburg is cheaper than surrounding areas, Healdsburg experiences an influx of drivers coming to the city to charge their vehicles. Therefore, while a higher mileage for EV charging is included in the Model, this is considered representative of the annual EV charging that Healdsburg is likely to experience, and may even be a low estimation if EV drivers are intentionally ‘filling up’ in Healdsburg.

4.1 Current Energy and Demand
Annual Electricity Consumption
Figure 1 presents the current annual electricity consumption by month disaggregated by residential and commercial building stock. The baseline model estimated the current net electricity consumption in Healdsburg to be 73,592 MWh for 2023, with the greatest demand occurring in the summer months of July and August. This was compared to actual data in 2023 which totaled 74,985 MWh, a discrepancy of about 2%. The annual modeled net electricity consumption serves as both a baseline and a backcheck on the overall Model accuracy. Approximately 62% of net electricity consumption is from commercial buildings in Healdsburg while the remaining 38% is made up from residential net electricity consumption.

Peak Demand
Figure 2 presents the current net peak demand by month. Net peak demand within this Model is measured in MWh on an hourly basis. The model net peak demand for electricity in Healdsburg in 2023 was 21.4472 MWh on August 6th at 6:00 PM. This is due in part to August 6th being one of the three hottest days in 2023. August is typically one of the hottest months in Healdsburg and the net peak demand is partly driven by the need for cooling and the time coinciding with when most residents are arriving home from work and solar has reduced production. Table 9 presents the month, day, time, and temperature of Healdsburg net peak demands over the last 6 years for reference.

4.2 Energy and Demand Scenarios
The following sections provide the results for all forecasted scenarios in terms of electricity consumption (i.e., no solar included) and net electricity consumption (i.e., with solar included) on an annual, monthly, and peak demand basis.38 Electricity consumption shows the total electricity needed to power homes, businesses, and vehicles in Healdsburg. As electricity consumption increases, the utility will need to deploy additional resources to meet this demand.

Annual Electricity Consumption
Figure 3 demonstrates the change in electricity consumption for buildings only (i.e., no EVs or solar) compared with the current building electricity consumption across all scenarios and milestone years. As shown, building electrification under all scenarios increases annual electricity consumption by 2030 by approximately 4,000 MWh. By 2045 building electrification increases annual electricity consumption beyond current consumption by approximately 12,500 to 15,500 MWh depending on the scenario.

Figure 4 presents the modeled annual electricity consumption for both buildings and EV charging across all scenarios and milestone years. As shown, modeled EV charging increases annual electricity consumption compared to current consumption by approximately 11,000 to 35,000 MWh by 2030 and approximately 53,000 to 87,000 MWh by 2045 depending on the scenario. Compared with Figure 3, this demonstrates that increased EV adoption and associated charging needs could increase annual electricity consumption an additional 7,500 to 31,500 MWh by 2030 and 40,000 to 72,000 MWh by 2045 compared with the impacts of building electrification alone. As such, between 68% to 89% of increased annual electricity consumption in 2030 and between 76% to 83% of increased annual electricity consumption in 2045 is attributable to EV charging needs versus building electrification. Table 10 shows that electricity consumption could increase to between 85,000 MWh to 109,000 MWh by 2030 and to between 126,000 to 161,000 MWh by 2045. This is

1.1 to 1.5 times the current consumption by 2030 and 1.7 to 2.2 times the current consumption by 2045.
38 Each of the forecasted scenarios were modeled under Healdsburg-specific EV charging conditions and assuming electrification of HVACs with standard heat pump HVAC systems. Modeling standard HVAC systems provides a more conservative estimate for forecasting electricity demand compared to modeling higher efficiency heat pumps.

Figure 5 presents the modeled annual net electricity consumption across all scenarios and milestone years, accounting for increased electricity consumption from building electrification and EV charging as well as the offsetting impacts of increased on-site solar generation. Compared with Figure 4, this demonstrates that the modeled increased solar generation can offset electricity consumption from building electrification and EV charging by approximately 3,000 MWh and 10,500 MWh annually by 2030 and 2045, respectively. All scenarios were modeled with consistent solar generation assumptions over time. Consequently, in scenarios with higher rates of building electrification and EV penetration, the additional solar generation has a reduced effect in offsetting the increased electricity consumption. Table 10 further details the annual net electricity consumption by scenario and by milestone year disaggregated by building electricity usage, EV charging usage, and impact of on-site solar generation. Based on the modeled scenarios, net electricity consumption is projected to increase by approximately 8,000 to 32,000 MWh by 2030 and 42,000 to 77,000 MWh by 2045 compared to current net electricity consumption, depending on the scenario. As shown in Table 10, for the Most Likely scenario, net electricity consumption is anticipated to increase by about 31% by 2030 and nearly 75% by 2045 compared with current annual net electricity consumption.

2. EV electricity consumption encompasses all new EV charging consumption post-2023.

Monthly Electricity Consumption
To better understand electricity consumption throughout the year monthly electricity consumption for each scenario was also analyzed.

Figure 6 demonstrates the modeled monthly electricity consumption by buildings under each scenario while
Figure 7 demonstrates the modeled monthly electricity consumption by buildings and EVs under each scenario. As shown in
Figure 6, electricity consumption for buildings will continue to be largest in winter months (e.g., December and January) and summer months (e.g. July and August), coinciding with the coldest and hottest times periods where electricity consumption for heating and cooling is at highest demand.

While current trends show similar consumption in the winter and summer months, modeled scenarios show that at higher electrification rates such as those reached by 2045, the electricity consumption in the winter may surpass the usage in the summer. This is due to the conversion of natural gas furnaces to electric heat pumps for heating.

The added consumption for EV charging, shown in
Figure 7, increases the overall monthly electricity consumption based on the number of EVs included in the modeled scenario. However, the general trends for the months with highest consumption remain similar to those trends observed in
Figure 6 just at a greater magnitude due the assumption that driving behaviors are the same throughout the year. As shown in
Figure 8, the addition of solar on new and existing buildings is able to offset some of the increased electricity consumption from building and vehicle electrification.

A comparison between
Figure 7 and
Figure 8 show that increased solar generation has the greatest impact on the monthly net electricity consumption occurring in the summer when solar generation is at its highest. For example, in the Overachieve scenario in 2045, the monthly electricity consumption in January is nearly 15,000 MWh and approximately 13,750 MWh in July and August, a 1,250 MWh difference between the winter and summer monthly usage (
Figure 7). On the other hand, with the addition of solar, in the Overachieve scenario in 2045, the monthly net electricity consumption in January is only slightly lowered to approximately 14,800 MWh while in July and August the monthly net electricity consumption drops to approximately 12,500 MWh, a 2,300 MWh difference between the winter and summer monthly net electricity consumption (
Figure 8).

Peak Demand
The electricity grid is built to meet/exceed peak demand. As peak demand increases, the grid will need to be improved to handle these new peak loads. The following section discusses the peak demand39 for each of the scenarios determined on an annual basis as well as on a monthly basis.

Figure 9 summarizes the peak demand from buildings only on an annual basis while Figure 10 shows the peak demand from buildings only by month for all scenarios for each milestone year modeled. As shown in
Figure 9 and
Figure 10, when evaluating just building peak demand, in all the scenarios the peak demand is modeled to occur on August 6th at 6 pm. This is due in part to August 6th being one of the three hottest days in 2023, the year in which the baseline electricity consumption is based on. Further as shown in
39 The hourly model produced results for the maximum hour electricity consumption during different time frames, which is referred to in this section as the peak demand. Instantaneous peak demand is estimated to be approximately 5% higher than the maximum hour electricity consumption.

38 Figure 10, the monthly peak demand occurs between 5 and 6pm coinciding with people returning home from work and increased use of appliances (especially AC units) at the home. As shown, building electrification under all scenarios has a relatively minor impact on peak demand through 2030, adding up to 0.44 MWh or a 2% increase to current peak demand compared with the highest electrification scenario modeled (Overachieve). By 2045, peak demand from building electrification could increase peak demand by an additional 1.57 MWh or a 7% increase beyond current peak demand under a 100% electrification scenario as shown in the Overachieve scenario.

The legend indicates the symbol to represent the time of day peak demand occurred in a given month.

Figure 11 summarizes the peak demand from buildings and EVs on an annual basis, while Figure 12 shows the peak demand from buildings and EVs on a monthly basis for all scenarios for each milestone year modeled. As shown in
Figure 11, peak demand could increase beyond current peak demand by 4% to 9% in 2030 and between 24% and 77% in 2045 depending on the modeled scenario. Based on the Most Likely scenario, peak demand is anticipated to increase by about 1.59 MWh or 7% in 2030 and 9.50 MWh or 44% in 2045 compared with current peak demand.

Figure 12 further demonstrates that the timing of peak demand is anticipated to change with increasing penetration of EVs. For all scenarios, through 2030 the peak demand is modeled to occur August 6th at 6pm. As previously described, the date coincides with one of the hottest days of the baseline year and at a time when people are coming home from work. However, by 2045, for all scenarios the peak demand is modeled to occur on February 23rd at 7 am coinciding with one of the coldest days of the baseline year and at a time when people are getting ready to leave for work and their cars are finishing up their charging.

Healdsburg Energy and Demand Forecasting
40 This is likely due to two interacting factors. First, as described in Monthly , the electricity consumption in the winter months for heating is anticipated to increase as building electrification results in the replacement of natural gas furnaces with electric heat pumps. This is illustrated in Figure 10 where peak demand in buildings increases with increasing electrification occurring through 2045 and the peak demand in winter months increases at a greater magnitude than the peak demand in summer months (though the summer peak still remains much higher than the winter peak in buildings). The second factor contributing to the trends observed in Figure 11 and
Figure 12, is the EV charging regime modeled and the increasing penetration of EVs modeled over time. As detailed in Electric Vehicle Charging, by 2045 every scenario assumes more than half of all vehicles will be EVs. Further, the Healdsburg-specific charging regime modeled for all scenarios assumes that home charging will be delayed and programmed to finish by departure (i.e., in time for the morning commute). As more EVs are charging with a home charging regime to finish by departure, the electricity demand just before people leave for work will continue to increase. As shown in
Figure 12, these compounding factors start to shift the peak demand from the evening of the hottest days of the year to the mornings of the coldest days of the year. Faster EV adoption results in an earlier shift from summer to winter peaks. For example, in the Overachieve scenario, the peak demand transitions from August 6th at 6pm to February 23rd at 7am between 2030 and 2035, while for the Underachieve scenario, with a lowest number of EVs modeled, the peak demand does not transition to the February 23rd date until the 2045 year ( Figure 11). Comparison of
Figure 10 and
Figure 12 demonstrate that the shift in timing of peak demand is largely driven by the increasing number of EVs rather than changes in peak demand from buildings. Further, this shift is largely dependent on the EV charging regime modeled – changes or greater diversity in the charging strategy deployed by EV users can have significant impacts on when the peak demand may occur.

See Timing and Type of EV Charging for additional discussion regarding impacts of EV charging strategy and behavior.

Figure 13 summarizes the annual net peak demand from buildings and EVs for all scenarios for each milestone year modeled with the inclusion of solar, while Figure 14 shows the net peak demand from buildings and EVs on a monthly basis with solar included. Comparison between
Figure 11 and
Figure 13 demonstrate solar has the ability to offset peak demand by up to 0.05 MWh both in 2030 and 2045. While solar generation is anticipated to grow significantly between 2030 and 2045, solar offsetting potential is highest in summer months when longer daylight hours result in higher solar generation. So as the peak demand shifts from summer months to winter months the impact of solar on the peak demand begins to change. For example, in 2040 when the peak demand for the Underachieve scenario is occurring in August the addition of solar is modeled to offset peak demand by 0.12 MWh whereas in 2045 when the peak demand is modeled to occur in February when solar generation is lower, solar is modeled to offset only 0.05 MWh from the peak demand. Further, as solar generation increases this can influence when the peak demand occurs. For example, it is observed in

Figure 11 that the peak demand in the Achieve scenario in 2035 occurs on the August 6th date in the evening, whereas with the addition of solar, the net peak demand is now observed on February 23rd in the morning as shown in
Figure 13.

Figure 14 demonstrates the modeled monthly net peak demand for each scenario of each milestone year with the inclusion of solar. While the trends in
Figure 14 with solar inclusion and
Figure 12 with no solar inclusion are similar,
Figure 14 shows that solar does offset the peak demand to varying degrees with the greatest impact on peak demand occurring in the summer months when solar generation is at its highest. See Impact of Timing on Peak Demand for additional information on the interaction of solar generation and peak demands in winter and summer.

Table 11 further details the net peak demand by scenario and by milestone year disaggregated by building demand, EV charging demand, and impact of solar generation. Based on the modeled scenarios, net peak demand is projected to increase by approximately 0.8 to 1.98 MWh by 2030 and

5.09 to 16.55 MWh by 2045 compared to current net peak demand, depending on the scenario. As shown in Table 11, for the Most Likely scenario, net peak demand is anticipated to increase by about 7% by 2030 and nearly 44% by 2045 compared with current net peak demand.

46 Timing and Type of EV Charging
Based on the analysis, EV charging will be the major driver of peak demand as buildings and vehicles are electrified. However, while building electricity consumption and peak demand is largely driven by factors such as weather and temperature, EV charging electricity consumption and peak demand is largely driven by behavior. The Most Likely scenario was used to further analyze monthly peak demand for each forecast year under different EV charging regimes. EV charging regimes used for this analysis included the Healdsburg-specific case, as used in all modeled scenarios discussed thus far, as well as the EVI-Pro default Base and Best Case scenarios as defined in Table 8. The variables most influential of peak demand in relation to EV usage include the following:
▪ Charger speed (e.g., Level 1 vs Level 2)
▪ Charger location (e.g., workplace vs home)
▪ Timing of charging
▪ Charging strategy (e.g., fast as possible, slow as possible) ▪ Fleet make-up efficiency of the EV (e.g., the percentage of EV fleet anticipated to be passenger EVs vs SUVs, trucks or commercial EVs)
▪ Miles driven per day
Total miles driven, energy efficiency of the vehicles, and the fleet make up (e.g., light-duty vs heavyduty) are the primary drivers in the electricity consumption associated with EV charging. For peak demand, charging behavior such as whether the vehicle is charged as fast as possible, or as slow as possible and timing of charging significantly impacts peak demand. Refer to Table 8 for details on input parameters for Healdsburg-specific, Base, and Best Cases.

As shown in
Figure 15, under the Most Likely scenario, the Base Case results in net peak demand approximately 40% greater than current net peak demand in 2030 and 100% greater than current net peak demand in 2045 with the net peak demand always occurring in summer months (e.g. August) in the evening around 6pm. Similarly, under the Best Case, the net peak demand also occurs in the summer months and evening hour through 2045 though the net peak demand is only about 10% higher in 2030 and 30% higher in 2045. The Base Case employs an “immediate -fast as possible” charging strategy while the Best Case employes an “immediate – slow as possible” charging strategy to even the spread of charging. Because both home charging strategies involve beginning to charge immediately, this overlaps with building peak demand. The result is net peak demand occurring during summer evenings. However, the Best Case “slow as possible” strategy shows a significantly reduced impact to the net peak demand compared with the Base Case by smoothing the spread of charging throughout the night when overall building demand is low. In contrast, the Healdsburgspecific Case employs a “delayed – finish by departure” strategy that shifts charging time to occur early in the morning prior to departure. This results in the summer peak being offset to a greater extent than in the Base and Best-Case scenario with only about a 5% increase by 2030 and 16% increase by 2045 compared with current summer net peak demand. However, while this charging strategy reduces the impact on the summer net peak demand it does increase the prevalence of a winter net peak demand in the morning that coincides with the building electricity winter peak demand. This results in a winter net peak demand that is about 50% greater in 2030 and 150% greater in 2045 than the currently observed winter net peak demand. Overall, this results in an annual net peak demand that is about 45% higher than current net peak demand by 2045 and with a shift in net peak demand from summer evenings to winter mornings.

Packet Pg. 305 Attachment: Healdsburg Energy and Demand Forecasting Report (4680 : Healdsburg Electrfication Energy and Demand Forecasting) Results
Long-Range Community Electricity Scenarios 47
As previously described, building peak demand differs in the summer and winter months where in the summer building peak demand occurs in the evenings when people are arriving home from work, cooling demand is high and solar generation is reducing. In the winter, building net peak demand occurs early in the morning when people are starting their day, heating demand is high, and solar generation for the day has not started yet. While building net peak demand currently occurs in the summer, the magnitude of electricity needed for EV charging can shift the overall net peak demand to whenever the bulk of EV charging is taking place. When the EV charging peak demand aligns with the building peak demand, higher impacts to the grid are observed. This occurrence can be seen in
Figure 15, where for the Most Likely scenario under the Healdsburg-specific Case a winter net peak demand in February grows over time as charging demand for EVs increases with increasing EV penetration. By 2040, the winter net peak demand in the Most Likely scenario is larger than the summer net peak demand previously observed. This is due to EV electricity demand dominating the net peak demand over building electricity demand by 2040 and the timing of EV electricity demand under a “delayed- finish by departure” charging strategy causing an early morning peak demand for EV charging.

Based on the analysis of current annual net electricity consumption and net peak demand and anticipated levels of electrification, EV charging is expected to be the primary driver of future electricity consumption and peak demand. This is due to increased electricity consumption in the building stock being partially offset by the energy efficiency of new electric appliances, the anticipated increase in solar arrays due to building code requirements, and the comparatively large amount of electricity needed to move a large vehicle at high speeds. The results of this analysis also provide insight into the importance of EV charging behavior. If EV charging can be incentivized to occur during off-peak hours and spread across the day with both at home and workplace charging, the overall impact to the grid can be greatly reduced. Alternatively, if charging occurs at the same time across the city and at a time that coincides with the summer afternoon or winter morning building peak demand, then the grid impacts will be exacerbated.

48 Figure 15 Monthly Net Peak Demand (MWh) for Each Year for the Most Likely Scenario Under Varying EV Charging Regimes. The above figure depicts the expected monthly net peak demand in megawatt (MWh) for the maximum hour net electricity consumption for the Most Likely scenario under different EV charging regimes including: Healdsburg-specific Case denoted as “Most Likely”, Base Case deonated as “Most Likely Base”, and Best Case denoted as “Most Likely Best” in the legend. These curves include building and EV electricity demand with the inclusion of solar. The legend shows the time of day for each month’s peak demand as well as the corresponding symbol. Note that though evaluated, “Most Likely Worst” is not presented in the above graph as it results in net peak demand that far exceeds the presented scenarios, greatly altering the Y-axis and therefore limiting the ability to clearly see the trends presented. Further, the “Most Likely Worst” scenario is deemed to be highly unlikely and not representative of a trend that would be observed in actuality.

The Healdsburg-specific EV charging case requires Healdsburg to be successful in managed EV charging programs and promoting diversified charging behaviors amongst EV drivers. The Healdsburg-specific EV charging case uses the selection of charging for “delayed - finish by departure”. This is one of the primary objectives of Healdsburg’s new Home Energy Load Management Program – to avoid evening peak hours and strategically charge enrolled vehicles to meet their ready-by preferences while reducing grid impacts of many vehicles all charging at once overnight or in the early morning. Healdsburg has also implemented pricing structure changes at its public EV chargers to discourage charging during evening peak hours and provides commercial EV charger rebates to promote workplace charging. Programs such as these will be critical to avoid adding onto the existing summer cooling peak demand, compounding early morning winter peak demands due to building electrification combined with overnight EV charging, or creating a new peak if enough EVs are all scheduled to start charging at the same time, such as midnight. Ideally, EV drivers will charge as much as possible from the mid-morning through earlyafternoon to take advantage of adbundant solar resources on the grid, as well as avoid seasonal peak

hours (winter and summer) and diversify their overnight charging. Survey results for when EV drivers plan to charge were varied, but the highest preference was for overnight at home starting right when they get home during current evening peak demands. To avoid the high peaks shown in the model when using the Base Case, Best Case or even the Healdsburg-specifc Case, Healdsburg will need more participation in its EV programs to manage loads and substantial outreach on desired charging behaviors, as well as evaluation of time-of-use (TOU) rate improvements.

Impact of Timing on Peak Demand
As demonstrated in the previous sections, the interaction between building electricity demand, EV charging demand, and solar generation play an influential role in when peak demand occurs. To further demonstrate this interaction as it relates to seasonal changes in peak demand, a daily electricity demand curve for an average summer day (in July) and an average winter day (in January) was prepared. This demonstration scenario was modeled based on the electricity demand for 250 new single-family buildings, 500 EVs following the Healdsburg-specific EV charging case, and 250 3.5 kW solar arrays to correspond with a single 3.5 kW array added per new single-family building. As shown in
Figure 16, on a typical July day, a new single-family building shows a steady increase in electricity consumption throughout the day starting around 6am and peaking around 6 to 7pm, while EV charging peaks between 6 and 8am. However, the large peak in solar generation in the middle of the day is able to completely offset the electricity demand occurring in the middle of the day. This results in an overall daily curve that peaks in the morning between 6 and 7am. At this time of day solar energy is just getting started and can only marginally decrease the EV charging electricity demand. The buildings’ overall demand drops sharply off as solar generation increases resulting in more electricity being sent to the grid than being consumed during the middle of the day such that the daily curve actually shows a negative demand41. The curve also shows another slightly small evening peak occurs between 6 and 7pm as solar generation for the day decreases and people are arriving home from work and building electricity demand increases.

Figure 17 also demonstrates the daily electricity demand curves for buildings, EV charging, and solar generation but over the course of an average winter day (in January). As shown, EV charging follows a similar trend as in the summer day where EV charging demand peaks in the morning between 6 and 7am. This is due to the use of the “delayed – finish by departure” charging strategy where charging is primarily occurring just before people leave the house in the morning. In contrast to the building electricity curve for the summer day, in the winter, the new single-family home electricity consumption has a peak that occurs around 10 am and another that occurs around 9pm and extends through midnight. Although solar generation does occur in the winter, it is to a lesser degree than in the summer and is not enough to completely offset the electricity consumption occurring in the middle of the day. This results in an overall daily peak occurring between 6 and 7am that is larger than the EV charging peak due to the coinciding building electricity and EV charging demands and limited solar generation available to offset the peak. The daily curve does drop in the middle of the day offsetting some fraction of the EV and building electricity demands. A small evening peak also occurs between 4 to 5pm as solar generation is decreasing, and people are 41 Note that the Model can also be used to identify negative and minimum hourly demands, which are also important to ensure that Healdsburg is not pushing excess solar generation back into the transmission system. Strategic EV and battery storage charging could also help to maintain minimum demands and avoid ‘back feeding’ into the transmission system as solar installations increase.

50 arriving home from work where there is again coinciding EV charging and building electricity demand.

Note that this demonstration scenario assumes two EVs for every new and efficient single-family home, as such EV charging drives the timing of the peak demand in this demonstration. As previously discussed, peak demand analysis of the entire Healdsburg building stock and forecasted EV penetration rates under the modeled scenarios show the peak demand occurring in the evenings in the summer months until EV charging begins to dominate demand causing the peak to shift to the morning.

The timing for the community-wide net peak demand will also change over time with more electrification.

To further investigate the cause of the building electricity peaks occurring on an average summer and average winter day shown in
Figure 16 and
Figure 17, respectively, the individual daily demand curves for each end-use in a single-family home was modeled. As shown in
Figure 20, the net peak demand for a single-family home on an average July day is largely driven by electricity demand for cooling. Electricity demand for general plug load is also shown to steadily increase throughout the day with the highest use occurring between 8pm to midnight. This results in an overall single-family building electricity daily demand curve peaking between 6 and 7pm on an average summer day as also shown in shown in
Figure 16.

Figure 21 shows that the 10 am single-family home building peak observed in Figure 17 occurring at 10am on an average winter day is largely driven by heating demand that peaks at 10am.

5 Findings
This section presents the key results of the study, highlighting significant trends and patterns observed in the data. The analysis reveals critical insights into building and vehicle electrification, demonstrating drivers of electricity consumption and peak demand. These findings provide a deeper understanding for Healdsburg Electric as they plan for the continued electrification of Healdsburg.

5.1 Summary of Results
Key Results
Results for all forecasted scenarios are presented in terms of electricity consumption (i.e., no solar included) and net electricity consumption (i.e., with solar included) on an annual, monthly, and peak demand maximum hour electricity consumption basis. Electricity consumption shows the total electricity needed to power homes, businesses, and vehicles in Healdsburg. As electricity consumption increases, the utility will need to procure and deploy additional resources to meet this demand. Net electricity consumption shows the total electricity expected with the inclusion of solar generation that can offset some electricity consumption. The Overachieve scenario provides an upper limit for possible electricity consumption under full electrification while the Most Likely scenario results demonstrate the annual, monthly, and peak demand that are likely to be most representative of future conditions. This section summarizes the key results based on the Most Likely scenario.
▪ Annual electricity consumption (i.e., building electricity and EV charging consumption without solar) is modeled to increase by 26,063 MWh (35%) by 2030 and 65,441 MWh (89%) by 2045 compared with current net annual electricity consumption of 73,592 MWh. ▪ Annual net electricity consumption (i.e., building electricity and EV charging consumption with solar) is modeled to increase by 23,048 MWh by 2030 (31%) and 54,890 MWh (75%) by 2045 compared with current net annual electricity consumption of 73,592 MWh. ▪ Annual peak demand (i.e., building electricity and EV charging peak demand without solar) is modeled to increase by 1.59 MWh (7%) by 2030 and 9.50 MW (44%) by 2045 compared with current net peak demand of 21.45 MWh.
▪ Annual net peak demand (i.e., building electricity and EV charging peak demand with solar) is modeled to increase by 1.55 MWh (7%) by 2030 and 9.46 MW (44%) by 2045 compared with current net annual peak demand of 21.45 MWh.
▪ Through 2030 while EV penetration is anticipated to be less than 50% of the total registered vehicles, peak demand will continue to occur during summer months when building electricity use for cooling demand dominates peak demand. As EV penetration begins to exceed 50% of total registered vehicles post-2030, EV charging will begin to be the dominant driver of peak demand. Depending on the charging strategy utilized and other EV managed charging strategies, this can shift the timing of peak demand from summer evenings to winter mornings.

56 Assumption Limitations
Like any model this Model was developed based on a series of assumptions that can impact the resulting annual usage and peak demand, increasing or decreasing anticipated values. The following highlights key assumptions and the potential impacts that should be considered when planning:
▪ Building Equipment: This analysis uses the building equipment assumptions provided by the ResStock and ComStock models. While these models use real building data collected from thousands of surveys, they only estimate the exact buildings within Healdsburg. For example, if significantly more cooling or less cooling is present or there is significantly higher or lower presence of RTU’s in commercial buildings, then the results will be skewed. However, these models represent the best available data for assessing an entire city’s building stock. ▪ Building Time of Use: The ResStock and Comstock model savings curves provide 15-minute energy use data across the entire year. However, this data is averaged across the 3C climate zone which includes a wider area beyond just Healdsburg. Therefore, the actual time of use data in Healdsburg may be different.
▪ Stacked impacts: The ResStock savings curve used to estimate electricity increases/savings were taken from a package of electrification measures that interact with each other. The following description is provided by ResStock “For a systems level description, ResStock models the heat transfer of individual representative dwelling units. Any device, person, or animal in the home giving off heat will impact the heat transfer between the interior of the home and the exterior environment. As such, nearly all of the ResStock upgrades interact on a heat transfer level and this will impact both the necessary equipment size for heating and cooling the home as well as the operation time and necessary energy.” Therefore, at low levels of electrification, the results may be skewed as these interactions are not accurately modeled. However, these impacts are expected to be minimal for this use case.42
▪ EV charging regime: The presented results modeled a Healdsburg-specific EV charging regime that utilizes a “delayed -finish by departure” charging strategy. This charging strategy has a significant impact on both the timing of the peak demand and the peak capacity needed. As demonstrated in Timing and Type of EV Charging, use of other EV charging strategies such as “immediate – as fast as possible” or “immediate – as slow as possible” can shift the timing of peak demand and the anticipated change in peak demand. As demonstrated in ▪ Figure 15, EV charging strategy can result in a 10% to 40% increase in 2030 and 30% to 100% increase in 2045 beyond the current peak demand for the Most Likely Scenario. ▪ EV Size: EV’s have a wide range of efficiencies from 1 mile per kWh to over 4 miles per kWh, over a 400% difference. The assumptions within the Healdsburg-specific EV charging regime assume an efficiency of 2 miles per kWh on average.43
Potential Adjustments to Model Results
During Model development various items were identified that could impact model results but were not within the scope of the project to model and are expected to have a relatively small impact. 42https://nrel.github.io/ResStock.github.io/docs/resources/explanations/Individual_Measures_Not_Combined.html 43 https://www.energy.gov/eere/vehicles/articles/fotw-1374-december-23-2024-model-year-2024-electric-vehicles-offer-consumers

Long-Range Community Electricity Scenarios 57
It was not within the scope of this project to model all possible residential and commercial appliances that could be switched to electric applicances. For example, gas fireplaces, pool heaters, spas, cooktops in commercial buildings, and water heaters in commercial buildings are not included.

Most of these are expected to have a relatively small impact; however, heat pump water heaters in commercial buildings have the potential to add large electricity usage increases. If commercial heat pump water heater installations occur at the same rate as heat pump boilers in the Most Likely scenario, this could increase annual electric consumption and demand as shown in Table 12 below.

Since commercial buildings are mostly operating during the daytime, it is unlikely that substantial demand from commercial heat pump water heaters will overlap with the peak demands identified in the model.

Healdsburg Electric Department also recently completed a forecast for energy efficiency program achievable savings, such as electricity savings from inuslation, lighting, clothes washers and more. If the efficiency program targets are achieved, they could reduce annual electric consumption and demand as shown in Table 13 below. Again, since the majority of savings come from the commercial sector operations, it is unlikely that substantial demand reductions from energy efficiency projects will overlap with the peak demands identified in the model.

When modeling for new residential homes, the total energy consumption of the home was modeled. Although most of these buildings would be all electric or near 100% electric there are some end-uses that would still include small amounts of natural gas consumption such as outdoor grills or fireplaces that are accounted for in that total energy consumption. Due to this, the Model overestimates electricity consumption by new residential buildings by about 1-2%. Since electricity from new residential buildings make up approximately 2% and 7% of total Modeled electricity consumption in 2030 and 2045, respectively, the impact to modeled consumption is considered negligible. Additionally, as described in New Building Estimates, all modeled new residential buildings were based on the EUSS from ResStock using the whole home electrification and envelope upgrade scenario (Upgrade 11). The number of new residential buildings modeled was based on customer projections and the percent of new builds assumed to be 100% electric based on the modeled scenario (Table 3). As such, the new residential buildings that were not all electric were not

9.B.b
Packet Pg. 316 Attachment: Healdsburg Energy and Demand Forecasting Report (4680 : Healdsburg Electrfication Energy and Demand Forecasting) City of Healdsburg

58 accounted for in the modeled results. In the Underachieve, Achieve, Most Likely, and Overachieve sceanario this equated to 20%, 5%, 10%, and 0% of new residential buildings not being accounted for, respectively. Based on per building electricity consumption for residential buildings, the unaccounted for non all-electric new buildings would add between 0.1% and 0.5% additional electricity to the total electricity consumption modeled in 2030 depending on the scenario. In 2045, depending on the scenario, the unaccounted for non all-electric new buildings would add between

0.4% and 1.7% additional electricity to the total electricity consumption.

When procuring electricity resources, there is also a need to procure for 4% system losses in the transmission and distribution, as well as maintaining planning reserve margins. The model may have also underestimated some opportunities for electricity consumption increases, such as EV drivers intentionally ‘filling up’ in Healdsburg or other items that were not considered as part of this Model.

Additionally, the model forecasts future peak demands based on maximum hour electricity consumption; however, the Electric Department must be ready and able to service instanteous demands on the system. In reviewing Electric Department data for shorter peak demand windows (e.g., 5 minute and 15 minute), the actual peak demand is generally 4-5% higher than the maximum hour consumption. Additionally, there is a ‘Resource Adequacy’ margin requirement of at least 15%.

Table 14 and Table 15 below shows the results of the Most Likley scenario with a 10% increase in annual consumption and a 20% increase in peak demand as a planning margin, to better serve for procurement and planning purposes to ensure sufficient resources and infrastructure are available to meet electricity needs. Table 14 does not include on-site solar generation assumptions while Table 15 does include assumptions of on-site solar generation offsets.

Comparisons of Other Forecasts
The California Energy Comission (CEC) also published a Local Reliability Scenario net electicity consumption forecast for each utility in California in 2023. As shown in the Figure 24 below, the CEC forecast generally falls within the model scenarios, though starts out closer to the Underachieve scenario in 2030 and ends up closer to the Overachieve and Most Likely with Planning Margin scenarios in 2040. Based on the CEC’s Local Reliability Scenario, the Healdsburg average annual growth for 2023-2040 is 3.55%. This is based on a larger planning area model, which may limit the amount of Healdsburg-specific data used for the forecast. In the same CEC study, the PG&E Greater Bay Area Service Area is forecasted to have an annual average net electricity consumption growth of

2.85% and the NCPA Greater Bay Area is expected to have 2.77%. The Healdsburg Most Likley scenario has an annual average growth of 2.39%.

The above figure depicts the potential future net electricity consumption in megawatt hours (MWh) based on the modeled sceanrios presented in this report compared with CEC Local Reliability Scenario forecasted net electricity consumption. Note that the CEC forecast only goes through 2040 and was extended to 2045 for this chart using an annual percentage increase of 3.55%.

60 Based on the CEC’s analysis in the Integrated Energy Policy Report, peak demand in 2030 is anticipated to be approximately 10% higher than current peak demand and approximately 38% higher than current peak demand in 2040 as shown in
Figure 23. As discussed above, modeled peak demand for Healdsburg could increase beyond current peak demand by 4% to 9% in 2030 and between 10% and 51% in 2045 based on the Underachieve and Overachieve scenario, respectively. Based on the Most Likely scenario, peak demand is anticipated to increase by about 7% in 2030 and 26% in 2040, following a similar trajectory and trend line as the CEC peak demand analysis.

Figure 23 Managed System Peak Demand (California ISO) from the CEC’s 2023 Integrated Energy Policy Report. The above figure obtained from the CEC 2023 Integrated Energy Policy Report shows that statewide peak demand in megawatts (MW) is expected to increase by approximately 10% by 2030 and 38% by 2040 compared with 2023 statewide peak demand. 44 The recently completed Healdsburg energy efficiency program forecast also included a forecast of fuel substitution programs and resulting electricity increases. The energy efficiency programs forecast only considered building energy and did not forecast any changes in annual electric consumption due to electric vehicles or on-site solar installations. Table 16 below compares the energy efficiency program forecast and the Most Likely scenario without EVs or on-site solar. As shown, the energy efficiency forecast estimates for building electricity consumption are about 2 to 3% higher than the modeled Most Likely Scenario pre-2030.

forecast scenario estimates are 9 to 13% higher than the modeled Most Likely Scenario. This is likely due to the Model developed for Healdsburg focusing on the electric conversion of primary end-uses including hot water heating, heating and cooling, dryers, and stoves. As such, other end-uses that could be converted to electric such as pool heaters or spas are not accounted for so the overall increase in electrical consumption could be underestimated. The energy efficiency forecast also utilized a different source for kWh impacts from switching to electric appliances and different assumptions for electric appliance adoption. This difference becomes more prominent in later milestone years as electrifcation of end-uses increases. The information presented in Table 16 indicates the appropraiteness of applying a 10% planning margin to the Most Likely Scenario results in this report for annual net electricity consumption planning.

5.2 Expected Climate Change Impacts
Although not currently modeled, climate change is expected to significantly impact both annual usage and peak electricity demand. As climate change results in more hot days during summer months, the usage and demand for cooling will increase, leading to higher overall electricity consumption. For example, Healdsburg experienced about a 25% increase in electricity usage between July 2023 and July 2024, with five more days over 90 degrees and two more days over 100 degrees in July 2024 compared to July 2023. Additionally, in 2023 the peak demand occurred on a day that was 100 F. However, the peak was 23-28% higher in 2024 and 2022, with temperatures at 105 F and 114 F, respectively. This trend is indicative of future electricity usage as hotter summer days become more common. Peak demand is also expected to shift and intensify, particularly during heatwaves, as there is a greater need to run air conditioning or cooling systems for longer periods.

This can strain the power grid and necessitate infrastructure upgrades to ensure reliability and prevent outages. Conversely, milder winters may reduce the need for heating, slightly offsetting the increased summer consumption. Additionally, the extremes may get more extreme for both summer and winter seasons. However, the net effect is likely to be a substantial rise in annual electricity consumption. Overall, climate change will require significant adjustments in energy planning and infrastructure to accommodate these shifts in electricity demand, which could be considered in a future update to the scenarios.

Although it is very difficult to forecast climate change impacts, Table 17 below shows the Most Likely scenario with a 20% increase for July and August building consumption and a 20% increase in summer peak demand for buildings as an example of impacts of hotter summers.

1. The net peak hourly demand value remain nearly the same as the Most Likely Scenario modeled under current conditions (Table 11). This is due to the peak moving from the summer to the winter by 2040 due to EV charging needs and therefore the net peak hourly demand not being impacted by hotter summers.

5.3 Challenges
Increased electricity consumption and peak demand present several significant challenges for utilities and grid operators. One major issue is the strain on existing infrastructure, which may not be equipped to handle the higher loads, leading to potential outages and reliability concerns.45 Additionally, the need for more generation capacity, often from renewable sources, requires substantial investment and time to develop.46 Peak demand periods can exacerbate these issues, as they necessitate the use of peaking power plants, which are typically less efficient and more expensive to operate, as well as rely on fossil fuels.
47 Furthermore, integrating new technologies
and managing the variability of renewable energy sources add complexity to grid management.

Addressing these challenges requires a combination of infrastructure upgrades, smart grid technologies, and effective demand-side management strategies.

Meeting State Requirements and Providing Electricity 24/7/365 The State’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) program and Clean Energy, Jobs, and Affordability Act of 2022 set increasing requirements for renewable and zero-carbon electricity to be provided by electric utilities, as follows:
▪ 52% renewable by 2027
▪ 60% renewable by 2030
▪ 90% renewable and zero-carbon by 2035, minimum 60% renewable with remainder from other zero-carbon sources (such as large hydroelectric or green hydrogen) ▪ 95% renewable and zero-carbon by 2040, minimum 60% renewable ▪ 100% renewable and zero-carbon by 2045, minimum 60% renewable As electric consumption and the State-required percentages increase over time, Healdsburg Electric will need to procure new renewable and zero-carbon resources. The Figure 24 shows historic renewable generation from 2000-2020, as well as forecasted renewable generation based on recent averages, the contracted Grace Solar project in 2028, and the inclusion of large hydroelectric and Lodi Energy Center phased conversion to green hydrogen beginning in 2035.

the amount of renewable and zero-carbon resources needed to meet the State requirements. The area between the bottom line and the Scenario lines represents the gap in renewable and zerocarbon resources that will need to be procured to meet the State requirements.

Figure 24 Comparison of Modeled Scenarios and Renewable and Zero-Carbon Procurement Needs. The above figure depicts the annual electricity to meet the RPS and State percentage requirements under the modeled scenarios in megawatt hours (MWh) and the currently planned procuremnt of renewable and carbon free electricity. The gap demonstrates the renewable and zero-carbon resources that will need to be procured to meet the State’s requirements under the ancitipated future conditions. Note that the chart only shows eligible renewables to 2030, and beginning in 2035 zero-carbon resources are also included.

While Healdsburg Electric has some historic carryover credits that can help meet the State’s RPS requirements, Healdsburg is still expected to cumulatively fall short of the RPS compliance by 274,978 MWh credits in the Most Likely Scenario (or 405,748 MWH in the Most Likely + Planning Margin Scenario) by 2045, if no additional renewable energy resources are procured. Healdsburg could also cumulatively fall short of the remaining zero-carbon generation needed by 87,589 to 130,828 MWh by 2045, if no additional zero-carbon energy resources are procured.

For context, to meet the 2027 requirement of 52% renewable energy, Healdsburg Electric would need an additional 6 MW of solar capacity (10,000 MWH of solar generation), or about 23 acres of solar panels. To meet the 2030 requirement of 60% renewable energy, Healdsburg Electric would need an additional 9 MW of solar capacity (16,000 MWh of solar generation) (compared to current contracts), or about 37 acres of solar panels. To meet the 2035 requirement of 90% clean energy (60% renewable plus 30% zero-carbon), Healdsburg Electric would need an additional 13 MW of solar capacity (23,000 MWh solar generation) (compared to current contracts), or about 52 acres of solar panels, and an approximately 30% increase (4,000 MWh) in average large hydroelectric

64 generation, in addition to an assumed conversion of 60% (11,000 MWh) of the Lodi Energy Center fuel-generated power to green hydrogen already included in the Average Current/Planned line.

Costs for new solar installations are approximately $2.5-3 million per MW, which is about $650,000- $750,000 per acre. Ground-mounted solar installations are currently the cheapest option for new renewable generation. It is also extremely important to begin pairing new solar installations with battery energy storage systems (BESS) to capture excess daytime solar generation and provide electricity 24/7/365, as well as meet ‘Resource Adequacy’ requirements. Local BESS could also help reduce forecasted peak demands and lessen or defer the need for infrastructure replacements.

Costs for BESS can vary widely; typically around $2 per Watt48.

Much like the rest of the State, Healdsburg will need to reinvest in its electric distribution system to meet the electricity needs identified in this project. This includes:
▪ Replace and/or expand transformers at Badger Substation (Order of magnitude $10-20 million) ▪ Increase wire and cable sizes to deliver more power (Order of magnitude $1-10 million) ▪ Increase local transformers (green boxes) to feed both EV chargers and new heat pump loads (Order of magnitude $10-15 million)
To lessen rate impacts, costs will need to be phased in over time. The next electric rates cost-ofservice study should take into account both increased revenue from increased electricity consumption, as well as the procurement and infrastructure costs needs outlined above.

5.4 Recommendations
While the “electrify everything” approach to reducing GHG emissions provides a clear pathway to carbon neutrality (electrification paired with renewable energy) it poses challenges to grid operators and electricity providers. While some grid improvements and expansion of energy resources will be required regardless, there are strategies which can be employed to reduce the magnitude of these investments.

Efficient Electricity Consumption
Using less electricity is a well-known concept to our communities. With building and vehicle electrification the need for efficiency has not changed. The following strategies can be promoted within the community to promote efficient electricity consumption:
▪ Solar and Storage Systems: Pairing solar with battery storage can help reduce both total electricity usage and peak demand (see below). One kW of solar PV can produce over 1,577 kWh of power each year in Healdsburg.
▪ Efficient homes: Homes which have insulation, efficient windows, and efficient appliances use less energy, especially during hot and cold weather. Improving buildings efficiency is a costeffective way to reduce electricity consumption and save on energy bills. Promoting energy efficiency through utility programs could help reduce overall demand. ▪ Drive smaller EVs for fewer miles: While EVs have much lower GHG emissions than their gas consuming counterparts over time, smaller EVs have much lower electricity demand than large EVs. As discussed above, the difference between light-duty EVs and heavy-duty EVs is more than double the total electricity demand. In addition, driving less and taking public transportation, biking, or walking is the most environmentally friendly (and low electricity use) option available. 48 https://atb.nrel.gov/electricity/2024/utility-scale_battery_storage

Long-Range Community Electricity Scenarios 65
Keeping total EV miles low through these strategies will help lower impacts to the grid and generation resources.

Peak Demand Reduction and Load Smoothing
Electricity load smoothing, also known as load equalization or peak shaving, is the process of reducing peak electrical demand to maintain a more consistent load on the power grid. This is achieved by shifting when electricity is used or by storing energy during periods of low demand and releasing it during periods of high demand.49 By smoothing the load, utilities can prevent grid overloads, reduce the need for peaking power plants, and improve the overall efficiency and reliability of the electrical system. This practice is particularly important in systems with high variability in demand, such as those with a considerable proportion of renewable energy sources. 50 The following section provides a list of techniques for load smoothing that can reduce the peak demand on the system.
▪ Energy Storage Systems: These systems store excess energy during periods of low demand and release it during peak demand times. Examples include lithium-ion batteries and pumped hydro storage.51 As of the end of 2024, there are 75 battery storage systems in Healdsburg. However, approximately 80% of these systems are believed to be used predominantly only for back up and are not believed to be actively managed to reduce peaks. More strategic management and programming of storage systems could help reduce future peak impacts. Managed battery storage could also help prevent ‘back feeding’ excess solar generation into the transmission system as solar installations increase.
▪ Demand Response Programs: These are programs designed by the utility to help balance electricity supply and demand by encouraging customers to reduce or shift their electricity usage during peak periods. This can be achieved through time-of-use pricing, critical peak pricing, financial incentives, or direct load control.
52 Direct load control programs, such as EV
managed charging or smart thermostats, allow utilities to remotely cycle off appliances like air conditioning during peak demand in exchange for incentives. ▪ Load Shifting: Consumers of electricity can significantly impact the electricity grid by adopting load-shifting behaviors, which help smooth the load curve. The utility can adopt rate structures that incentivize consumers to shift their electricity demand away from high-cost hours to lowcost hours. Some examples of actions customers can take include:
o Building Energy: Consumers can plan to run appliances during off-peak hours when electricity demand is low (i.e., middle of the day), or pre-cool or pre-heat homes before peak demand periods. There are several load sharing devices and technologies like programmable thermostats or smart panels that can be used to control and shift loads based off the appliance energy needs.
o EV Charging Behavior: This can be through adopting behavior to charge vehicles at offpeak times (such as the middle of the day when solar production is high) or using smart charging systems to charge vehicles at off-peak hours to reduce the strain on the grid during high-demand periods. Utility rates can further incentivize people to charge 49 What is Load Equalisation in Electrical Drive? Definition & Method - Circuit Globe 50 EDF Residential Smoothing Final Report-2016-0415

66 during these hours. While there is less flexibility when commercial vehicles are charged, the use of smart technology and distributed charging for fleets can reduce the strain on the electrical grid as well.
▪ Charging Station Locations: Spreading the load of EV charging across multiple locations and times optimizes grid efficiency and reliability. For example, increasing the number of workplace chargers will increase the number of EVs charged during midday when demand is lower and solar production is high. With only home charging the potential for EVs to all begin charging at 6 pm, further exacerbating peak demands, is high.
▪ Smart Grid Technologies: Smart grids use advanced communication and control technologies to optimize the distribution and consumption of electricity. This includes real-time monitoring and automated adjustments to balance supply and demand.53
▪ Distributed Energy Resources (DERs): Integrating renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind turbines, along with local energy storage, can help smooth the load by providing additional power during peak times and storing excess energy when demand is low.52 53 https://www.saarcenergy.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Load-Forecasting-Methods-and-Techniques-by-Dr.-ChandrasekharReddy-Atla-Dr.-Chandras.pdf

If/when I have the ability to remodel I might consider some of these factors.

Natural gas is more efficient and more reliable. Our power grid is less reliable and gets shut off occasionally.

Please provide any additional comments that will help Healdsburg Electric Department to forecast future electricity use and demands. (Optional) Open-Ended Response 

1. You already know how many solar customers you have and should also know how many customers have EVs and the number of EVs that they have (we have 2 for example). You should also be aware of how much energy storage is on your system right? When you forecast future electricity use and demand, the forecast should be based on your PLAN for the future. What is your plan for the future? How seriously are you considering V2G? When does V2G come into play? How will you "tailor" V2G customer usage? What will be your strategy for monetizing and incentivizing V2G usage to result in the most robust affordable electricity service? Imagine the future that is coming fast. EVs capable of inductive charging and with full FSD like the Tesla Robotaxi. No charge ports necessary because you have a plan for having inductive charging embedded in your parking spots just on the outskirts of town that will allow Healdsburg to close parts of the center of town to through traffic. Solar is becoming more and more affordable, my 400Watt modules cost less than the Enphase microinverters. Have a plan in place where all homeowners can have upgraded electrical, solar, storage and EV charging capacity (unless it is truly impractical or too expensive - this will likely be very few customers). The utility should subsidize this in lieu of new generation or to get off of geothermal in the geysers. But the customers should own the system, not the utility (that doesn't work, refer to Arizona and SMUD). IOUs and munis need to re-think what they do and who they serve. You need to SERVE...I did, its better when you actual serve someone. That is why they called it Civil Service. Power to the People knuckleheads.

Again, I don't get to make decisions about the systems in the house I rent. I'd be open to making changes but not my choice to make.

Appreciate this effort!
as a senior household, the current increasing costs of utilities are troublesome. due to our fixed income it impacts the affordability of solar etc.

City electric price tiers thoroughly discourage me from adding induction cooking. Installing a heat pump to replace gas wall heaters stopped my electric conversion. Electric demand water heaters are decidedly inferior to my gas demand heaters, so I’ll wait.

City of HBG prices are outrageous.

City of Healdsburg utility costs are absurdly high!!! We are very careful in our usage and hours of use but as one person living in home it's almost unaffordable.

Consider under grounding areas close to wild lands (wui). This will greatly reduce fire hazards Current estimate is $50,000-$65,000 for Heat Pump HVAC and Solar PV for 1800 s.f. residence. That's a huge investment and a LONG timeline for payback. City only returns 50% on excess electricity generated into their grid for re-sale.

Do you plan to add capacity?
Don’t cram your agenda down the throats of the citizens. Everyone gets to choose their own adventure.

Don't get rid of the diesel backup generators
Electric Panel Upgrade costs are a barrier to upgrading Heating/AC to heat pump.

Electricity and Energy are egregiously priced in Healdsburg and our roads are terrible. Focus on this fixing this and less on items that don't favorably impact the majority of residents.

Enso Village (where I live) is very environmentally conscious and has electrified everything they possibly could. The commercial grade kitchen is the only place you'll find gas appliances.

Even though I would like my landlord to install solar or change heating to electric, I will never be able to convince the bastard.

Getting rid of gas improves safety
Healdsburg needs to stop penalizing year round citizens and stop increasing energy and water rates. Bloodsuckers! I am puzzled by the process I thought I signed up for to charge at optimum times from a cost standpoint I am very frustrated with the city’s current rate hike. There are two people in my duplex rental home and our Healdsburg utility bill is $300. It’s unsustainable.

I cannot afford solar, but support its use.

I choose to cook with gas. It is vastly better that electric stoves. It is none of the local government’s business how I cook. I would never purchase a home that does not provide me the option of cooking with gas.

I drive a non-plug in SUV and get 45 MPG. The cost of an equivalent EV is not at all affordable when you live on Social Security I find my heating bill is much higher with electric and less efficient therefore I will not be switching to electric on any other appliances.

I have have had a pv system for the past 10 years but have recently added purchased an EV vehicle and am considering expanding my pv system to account for the additional need.

I have solar heat for pool and 2 EV autos
I was astounded that I was gone for 2 weeks in Dec 2024 to early Jan and my electric bill for that period was quite high - I believe that if we have changed over - that there should be a rate for those that have a heat pump (requiring the fan to be operable during the window of heat).

I would love to go solar, but don’t use enough electricity to make it financially worthwhile I wouldn’t make any changes that required upsizing our 200a panel or the supply wiring from COH I'd have installed solar panels, but the city building code won't allow on my roof given the proximity of skylights.

If battery storage became cheaper we would consider adding batteries to our solar system to stretch that power beyond the daylight hours.

I'm not switching anything to electric. I already have an EV, that's all I need. Do not mess with natural gas...its NATURAL! Increase energy production and storage to keep cost low.

Increasing electricity costs may make me more likely to charge at public chargers. it is NOT affordable to have to convert gas stove and heater to electric - NOR do i want to be accountabile to the electric grid, pge, increased electric costs, no access when power poles go down, lack of trust of pge etc My water bill is completely unaffordable. Please work on lowering water rates and scrapping the Green New Scam and other waste of taxpayer money initiatives. our energy use is low and HBG electric rates are low so we are not motivated to install solar or electrify Please consider a electricity buy back incentive
Please lower the cost of electric, water and sewage
Power shut offs during high fire watch season will deter me from going electric Range is upscale gas. Gas water heater is newer and tankless, at least. Two gas furnaces (upstairs and downstairs) are operating fine. Doubt owners will replace any of these appliances as long as this is a rental.

Stop raising prices it is becoming more and more difficult to live in Healdsburg.

Thanks for doing this. Also would like to look at options for moving away from the City grid in the future.

Thanks to the Utility Department for providing residents with valuable information. Terra did a great job speaking at the Climate Action Healdsburg meeting last night.

The state does not have the infrastructure to go all electric. We are a free state and we should have all options for energy. Electric batteries cause more harm on the environment than fossil fuels. Your woke plans are too costly. We are being over charged. The city should not tell us how to live our lives. They should focus on providing utilities at an affordable price There is little or no effort in the rest of the USA to make our sacrifice meaningful. Finally, the cost per citizen is what is making this State unaffordable and is contributing to the homeless crises.

We are in our 80's. If we were younger we would most definitely upgrade our heat.Cooling to heat pump. Unfortunately, our current system is not very old but should it fail, we will definitely switch.

We don’t plan on ever changing to Electric. Do not implement any mandates. The Climate mobilization strategy is virtue signaling and should have never been approved. The woke approach of Healdsburg is very unfortunate.

We had new appliances installed in 2014. The cost to replace them with electric ones when they have not worn out is prohibitive We save water during a crisis and you raise our rates. Once it's all electric, you will just raise the rates even more. Stop greenwashing us about all electric.

We used to have a hybrid/Electric vehicle, but sold it in 2020. we'd like to switch to more electric appliances, especially the dryer. Preferably a washer/dryer combo machine. But we've maxed out what our electrical box holds, so can't handle what another electric appliance would need without an overhaul of our whole electrical box. Just so you know another factor driving our decisions...

When my EV vehicle lease is up in January 2026, I may switch to EV/hybrid. Road trips take twice as long because of charging times and there is anxiety about finding a charger that works fast. City of Healdsburg appears to have stopped rebates for charging after 7:30 pm, too.
will move to HBG full-time in the next few years
Workshop activity response

You need to be upfront with consumers about the 100 or even 200 amp service that they have not being able to sustain all electric appliances and call three to five local electrical contractors to get real world pricing unlike the information that has been previously disseminated on this topic.

19 We had new appliances installed in 2014. The cost to replace them with electric ones when they have not worn out is prohibitive
3/30/2025 1:45 PM
20 Appreciate this effort! 3/25/2025 4:15 PM
21 City of Healdsburg utility costs are absurdly high!!! We are very careful in our usage and hours of use but as one person living in home it's almost unaffordable. 3/17/2025 10:46 AM
22 If battery storage became cheaper we would consider adding batteries to our solar system to stretch that power beyond the daylight hours.
3/16/2025 3:09 PM
23 1. You already know how many solar customers you have and should also know how many customers have EVs and the number of EVs that they have (we have 2 for example). You should also be aware of how much energy storage is on your system right? When you forecast future electricity use and demand, the forecast should be based on your PLAN for the future.

What is your plan for the future? How seriously are you considering V2G? When does V2G come into play? How will you "tailor" V2G customer usage? What will be your strategy for monetizing and incentivizing V2G usage to result in the most robust affordable electricity service? Imagine the future that is coming fast. EVs capable of inductive charging and with full FSD like the Tesla Robotaxi. No charge ports necessary because you have a plan for having inductive charging embedded in your parking spots just on the outskirts of town that will allow 3/16/2025 9:43 AM

Healdsburg to close parts of the center of town to through traffic. Solar is becoming more and more affordable, my 400Watt modules cost less than the Enphase microinverters. Have a plan in place where all homeowners can have upgraded electrical, solar, storage and EV charging capacity (unless it is truly impractical or too expensive - this will likely be very few customers).

The utility should subsidize this in lieu of new generation or to get off of geothermal in the geysers. But the customers should own the system, not the utility (that doesn't work, refer to Arizona and SMUD). IOUs and munis need to re-think what they do and who they serve. You need to SERVE...I did, its better when you actual serve someone. That is why they called it Civil Service. Power to the People knuckleheads.
24 Again, I don't get to make decisions about the systems in the house I rent. I'd be open to making changes but not my choice to make.
3/15/2025 6:56 PM
25 Don’t cram your agenda down the throats of the citizens. Everyone gets to choose their own adventure.
3/15/2025 6:07 PM
26 City electric price tiers thoroughly discourage me from adding induction cooking. Installing a heat pump to replace gas wall heaters stopped my electric conversion. Electric demand water heaters are decidedly inferior to my gas demand heaters, so I’ll wait. 3/14/2025 8:45 PM
27 We used to have a hybrid/Electric vehicle, but sold it in 2020. 3/14/2025 3:34 PM 28 There is little or no effort in the rest of the USA to make our sacrifice meaningful. Finally, the cost per citizen is what is making this State unaffordable and is contributing to the homeless crises.
3/13/2025 9:15 AM
29 We save water during a crisis and you raise our rates. Once it's all electric, you will just raise the rates even more. Stop greenwashing us about all electric. 3/12/2025 2:54 PM
30 Please consider a electricity buy back incentive 3/12/2025 11:54 AM 31 I find my heating bill is much higher with electric and less efficient therefore I will not be switching to electric on any other appliances.
3/12/2025 11:06 AM
32 Power shut offs during high fire watch season will deter me from going electric 3/12/2025 10:35 AM 33 Even though I would like my landlord to install solar or change heating to electric, I will never be able to convince the bastard.
3/11/2025 10:17 PM
34 I am very frustrated with the city’s current rate hike. There are two people in my duplex rental home and our Healdsburg utility bill is $300. It’s unsustainable. 3/11/2025 9:26 PM
35 The state does not have the infrastructure to go all electric. We are a free state and we should have all options for energy. Electric batteries cause more harm on the environment than fossil fuels. Your woke plans are too costly. We are being over charged. The city should not tell us how to live our lives. They should focus on providing utilities at an affordable price 3/11/2025 7:42 PM
36 Consider under grounding areas close to wild lands (wui). This will greatly reduce fire hazards 3/11/2025 5:52 PM 37 Thanks for doing this. Also would like to look at options for moving away from the City grid in the future.

38 I have have had a pv system for the past 10 years but have recently added purchased an EV vehicle and am considering expanding my pv system to account for the additional need. 3/11/2025 5:10 PM
39 Please lower the cost of electric, water and sewage 3/11/2025 4:54 PM 40 Don't get rid of the diesel backup generators 3/11/2025 4:21 PM 41 You need to be upfront with consumers about the 100 or even 200 amp service that they have not being able to sustain all electric appliances and call three to five local electrical contractors to get real world pricing unlike the information that has been previously disseminated on this topic.
3/11/2025 4:11 PM
42 I'm not switching anything to electric. I already have an EV, that's all I need. Do not mess with natural gas...its NATURAL!

46 City of HBG prices are outrageous. 3/11/2025 2:00 PM 47 as a senior household, the current increasing costs of utilities are troublesome. due to our fixed income it impacts the affordability of solar etc. 3/11/2025 1:53 PM
48 it is NOT affordable to have to convert gas stove and heater to electric - NOR do i want to be accountabile to the electric grid, pge, increased electric costs, no access when power poles go down, lack of trust of pge etc
3/11/2025 1:53 PM
49 I choose to cook with gas. It is vastly better that electric stoves. It is none of the local government’s business how I cook. I would never purchase a home that does not provide me the option of cooking with gas.
3/11/2025 1:36 PM
50 I have solar heat for pool and 2 EV autos 3/11/2025 1:31 PM 51 Range is upscale gas. Gas water heater is newer and tankless, at least. Two gas furnaces (upstairs and downstairs) are operating fine. Doubt owners will replace any of these appliances as long as this is a rental.
3/11/2025 1:23 PM
52 I am puzzled by the process I thought I signed up for to charge at optimum times from a cost standpoint
3/11/2025 1:03 PM
53 our energy use is low and HBG electric rates are low so we are not motivated to install solar or electrify
3/11/2025 12:57 PM
54 Stop raising prices it is becoming more and more difficult to live in Healdsburg. 3/11/2025 12:52 PM 55 Current estimate is $50,000-$65,000 for Heat Pump HVAC and Solar PV for 1800 s.f. residence. That's a huge investment and a LONG timeline for payback. City only returns 50% on excess electricity generated into their grid for re-sale. 3/11/2025 12:47 PM
56 I have a personal EV that I charge at my warehouse. I use a 50a circuit that was installed for.

57 We don’t plan on ever changing to Electric. Do not implement any mandates. The Climate mobilization strategy is virtue signaling and should have never been approved. The woke approach of Healdsburg is very unfortunate.

58 Getting rid of gas improves safety 3/11/2025 12:41 PM 59 Equipment, Contractor Costs, City Regulations/Fees are making it infeasible for improvements to be undertaken.

60 When my EV vehicle lease is up in January 2026, I may switch to EV/hybrid. Road trips take twice as long because of charging times and there is anxiety about finding a charger that works fast. City of Healdsburg appears to have stopped rebates for charging after 7:30 pm, too.
3/11/2025 12:32 PM
61 Increase energy production and storage to keep cost low. 3/11/2025 12:27 PM 62 Do you plan to add capacity? 3/11/2025 12:26 PM
63 Increasing electricity costs may make me more likely to charge at public chargers. 3/11/2025 12:23 PM 64 We are in our 80's. If we were younger we would most definitely upgrade our heat.Cooling to heat pump. Unfortunately, our current system is not very old but should it fail, we will definitely switch.

67 I was astounded that I was gone for 2 weeks in Dec 2024 to early Jan and my electric bill for that period was quite high - I believe that if we have changed over - that there should be a rate for those that have a heat pump (requiring the fan to be operable during the window of heat). 3/11/2025 12:01 PM

Re: Request for Reappointment to the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) Executive Board
Honorable Mayors and Councilmembers,
I am writing to respectfully request your support for my reappointment to the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) Executive Board primary seat for a two-year term.

It has been an honor to serve on the ABAG Executive Board since my appointment in February 2021 and to contribute to the vital regional work ABAG leads. Over the past few years, I have also had the privilege of representing our community on the ABAG General Assembly and serving on the Housing Methodology Committee. These roles have deepened my understanding of and commitment to ABAG’s mission to strengthen cooperation and collaboration among local governments to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions to shared regional challenges.

In 2024, I had the honor of serving as Mayor of Rohnert Park. This experience further broadened my perspective on the importance of regional partnerships and informed my contributions to ABAG with a deeper sense of the needs and aspirations of our local communities.

With your support, I look forward to continuing this important work on the Executive Board. Please feel free to contact me at (707) 291-8450 or via email at [email protected] with any questions or to discuss this request further. I appreciate your consideration and your support.

Kind Regards,
Susan H. Adams,
Councilmeber, City of Rohnert Park

Re: Executive Board of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) Honorable Mayors and Councilmembers,
I am writing to respectfully request your support for my appointment to the Executive Board of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). As a passionate advocate for sustainable communities and equitable growth, I am deeply committed to advancing ABAG’s top priorities: securing new revenues for transit operations, promoting housing affordability, and defending clean air and climate standards.

With a background in transportation, I bring a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing our regional transit systems. I have worked extensively to champion active transportation options, improve multimodal connectivity, and support infrastructure investments that create safer, healthier, and more accessible communities. I believe strongly that a resilient and integrated public transit network is foundational to the Bay Area’s economic vitality and environmental future.

My advocacy for affordable housing is grounded in the belief that every Bay Area resident deserves a stable, affordable place to call home. I have actively supported initiatives that expand housing opportunities near transit and jobs, and I am eager to work with fellow regional leaders to pursue new revenue tools and policy solutions that help meet our shared housing goals.

I also share ABAG’s strong commitment to climate action. I support policies that uphold clean air standards and reduce emissions, and I will advocate for investments that build climate resilience while improving public health and quality of life for all communities.

It would be an honor to bring my experience, passion, and collaborative spirit to the ABAG Executive Board. I would be grateful for your support and the opportunity to serve our region during this pivotal time.

I would be honored by your support for this appointment and respectfully ask for your vote. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 707-971-9226 or by email at [email protected] With appreciation,
Frank Quint

Dear Chair Giudice,
I am excited to be applying for the ABAG Executive Board Alternate position again. I greatly enjoyed my past term and the meetings I attended. I have developed relationships with many other Bay area electeds during this time. Continuing to learn from this position and continuing to develop these relationships will contribute to our association.

My legal experience has contributed to my understanding of how this JPA operates and fulfills its mission of strengthening cooperation and collaboration across local governments to build healthier, stronger communities. Part of this is developing best practices as well as the sharing of resources. One such resource is the available technical assistance related to complying with our required housing elements.

Learning and becoming part of helping ABAG resolve its challenges related to obtaining past CalPers obligations has been very rewarding. Exploring the different ways it is
