If this happens when there is also an oncoming vehicle, both motorists must adjust their speed and position slightly and allow the cyclist adequate space, and the cyclist typically moves closer to the edge of the roadway. If either vehicle is traveling at a speed faster than the posted speed limit, the amount of time available for ensuring that the bicyclist has enough room is reduced. Even when there is no oncoming vehicle, slower speeds allow a bit more time for a driver to see the cyclist and veer slightly to pass them.

Steep grades can also affect the amount of time available for a cyclist and motorist to adjust their position in the roadway. For example, on Page Mill Road between Via Ventana Way and Altamont Road (a study segment with heavy bike usage) there is both a steep grade and a blind curve. Due to the grade, cyclists tend to be going very slowly as they travel uphill. If a motorist comes around the curve, they usually catch up to the cyclist almost immediately due to the speed differential between them. The cyclist often cannot shift their position quickly enough to avoid the motorist due to their slow traveling speed, and so it is important for cars to be traveling at a sufficiently slow speed to give an additional second or two to spot the bikes before overtaking them.

Based on Hexagon’s field conditions review, the presence of bicyclists in the roadway (or the possibility that there may be a bicyclist in the roadway) frequently constitutes a “condition not readily apparent” to motorists that could affect traffic flow or safety in places where there are restricted sight distances due to hills and/or curves. In accordance with the CA MUTCD, such a condition may allow a traffic engineer to conclude that the recommended speed limit should be lower than the critical speed.

All of the above reasons regarding the need for slower speeds in Los Altos Hills inform our reasoning in reducing the speed limit below the critical speed. Additional data gathered in Hexagon’s field conditions review are noted on the ET&S sheet for each study segment in Attachment 3.

Recommended Posted Speed Limits
Based on the speed data collected, an analysis of the accident rate for each study segment, and Hexagon’s review of other physical and traffic conditions on each study segment, a recommendation for maintaining or modifying the existing posted speed limit has been made, as shown in Table 1. Note that we recommend maintaining the existing posted speed limit at each study segment.

This is a very short segment (0.1 miles). Los Altos Hills has provided bike lanes, but since there are no bike lanes in Palo Alto, the speed limit should be set at the speed that is reasonable after crossing the city limit (at Tracy Court). CA MUTCD encourages coordination with adjacent municipalities and discourages very short speed zones, so posted speed limit should be set to be consistent with 35 mph limit on contiguous segment of Arastradero Road in Palo Alto.

Subject: Speed Display Devices: Agenda Item #9.A Sept 15, 2022 Council Meeting Date: Monday, September 12, 2022 9:05:28 PM
Respected Council Members,
I note that the Town Staff has provided a report on speed survey and detection in their response to this item.

Unfortunately, the Town Staff did not circle back with the Technology Committee in preparing their response.

The Technology Committee proposed Speed Alert Signs, not as a way to gather data on generally prevailing speeds.

As Staff's report states, the speed survey did that.

A Speed Alert Signs would accomplish two things:
a) It would alert drivers who are speeding (which the speed survey by Hexagon absolutely does not do). b) It would provide dynamic data on current speeding patterns to allow law enforcement to take action (which the speed survey by Hexagon does not do).

The Technology Committee had proposed acquiring a trailer-mounted Speed Alert Sign to allow deployingment at various locations to assess its effectiveness.

The data that we sought was on the effectiveness of such devices, not on the generally prevailing speeds on various streets.

This point appears to have been misunderstood.

The Sheriff does not currently own such a display device. Thus, the Technology Committee proposed that the Town purchase the device.

In my conversation with Captain Urena of the Sheriff's Department, he was supportive of such a deployment -- but he should of course speak for himself.

I request that the Council direct staff to come back with a cost estimate on such a system.

It has the potential to reduce damage to life, limb and property at an estimated cost of under $15K.

Going forward, I request that Town Staff could offer Committees the courtesy of "circling back" prior to responding to the Council.

That would allow for a smoother, more efficient process.

Respectfully,
Rajiv Bhateja

TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS

MEMORANDUM
DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2022
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PETER PIRNEJAD, CITY MANAGER

SOFIA MANGALAM, PLANNING DIRECTOR
RE: EARTHQUAKE SHUT-OFF VALVE

BACKGROUND
An earthquake shut-off valve automatically shuts off the gas flow to your property when triggered by a large earthquake. There are two types of earthquake shut-off valves:

1. Natural gas seismic shut-off valve – shuts off your gas service at the valve location.

2. Excess flow valve – automatically shuts off your gas when a significant gas leak or overpressure surge occurs at a pipe or appliance beyond the valve.

Excess flow gas shut-off valves and earthquake-actuated gas shut-off valves must be installed on the building’s gas houseline piping. This pipeline is the gas pipe that connects your appliances to the gas meter downstream of the utility point of delivery. It is located after the PG&E gas shut-off valve, pressure regulator, meter and the service tee.

No attachments or connections of any kind are allowed on the utility facilities before the point where the service tee connects to the gas houseline piping.

The State of California requires approval for all excess flow gas shut-off valves and earthquake-actuated gas shut-off valves used within the state. A list of approved valves is available on Division of State Architect site (DSA Gas Shut-off Valves Certification Program ).

The Technology Committee brought this up at their July 13, 2022 meeting and asked their Council Liaison to bring it forward for consideration by the entire council. Minutes from that meeting can be seen here (See Attachment 1).

Evaluation of Risks
In order to further study, shut-off valve, it is important to understand risks from release of natural gas:

AGENDA ITEM #9.B
P.P.

There are two (2) primary risks to public safety from damage to a natural gas system sufficient to cause release of natural gas. If the leakage is sufficient to create a flammable air-gas mixture and an ignition source is present, there is a risk of fire, or, in rare cases, explosion. The life safety risks from a gas-related fire are greatest if a fire is initiated in a damaged or collapsed building that has not been evacuated. Another potential life safety risk can result if gas service is restored improperly in the presence of gas leaks that are not first detected and repaired. Improper service restoration may also fail to correct inadequate venting conditions that might lead to the accumulation of carbon monoxide in a structure.

The risk of a gas-related fire in residential structures following earthquakes is generally very low because of the numerous conditions necessary for gas ignition. Natural gas is lighter than air and tends to disperse in most building environments other than a confined space such as a basement.

Requirements for Valves
If the Town wish to proceed with the requirement, it can be applied to the following:
• New building construction
• Significant alterations
• Additions to existing buildings
Costs related to Valves
The approximate costs of installing various devices range from $250 and $500, including parts and labor. Additional costs such as fees for building permits or inspections may also apply, depending how the Town approaches the permit process if installation is mandated. Costs incurred after installation may be for inspection, maintenance, and gas service restoration. Generally, the maintenance cost should be minimal unless the system is physically damaged by accident, or on purpose. Costs generally run less expensive on new construction as it is planned from the beginning and incorporated into the building.

If a requirement were to be issued for remodeling the cost generally runs in the higher range because existing piping must be modified.

Staff researched if any neighboring jurisdictions require valves and found a few including City of Alameda, City of Los Altos, City of San Jose, City of Milpitas.

Direction from Council
Staff would like to seek direction if Council would want staff to further evaluate if Town should adopt an Ordinance requiring installation of earthquake shut off valves. Staff would need to discuss the requirement with the other jurisdictions, the SCC Fire Department, as well consider how we would integrate it into our building plan check, permitting and inspection process. This would be a significant investment in staff time and unless the council feels this is a high enough priority to promote it ahead of existing 2022 priorities the staff is working on then we would suggest taking it up as part of the 2023 Council goal setting session.

Agenda Discussion
Agenda Items

1. Proposal for Microgrids Subcommittee (15 minutes)
• Microgrid plan & design for Town Hall
i. Rajiv discussed plans to have a Microgrid project for the Town (Lisa Schmidt suggestion). Alan Epstein email and battery storage in Town Hall • Microgrid cookbook/how-to guide for town residents
i. Microgrid for Dummies suggestion
• Andreas suggested that we engineer a solution for Town Hall for a microgrid installation using a system that can log usage.
• Scott suggested that the goal would be to provide emergency power to Town Hall • Sarina clarified that the goal is to replace the generator with a battery backup using the photovoltaic panels. The budget is up to $1M and $250K has been spent. Grant from Cal OES and SVCE and ARPA.
• Allan Epstein - $850K has been committed – Syserco awarded a contract to get the ‘best’ system. Panels had to be upgraded for an addl $250K so an addl $300K was added. PG&E has to upgraded from 800A to 1600A. Battery is 340KWh. Syserco proposal sent that includes the utilization numbers

3 • Ameesh points out that we are changing the scope of the project that is already underway which is focused on replacing a gas generator. A microgrid will involve addl solar panels and the battery
• Scott asks if the contract can be modified and Sarina says that the PG&E proposal has already been made with a target of completion by the end of the year • Allan confirmed that the battery and switchgear has been ordered and the schedule is to be completed by April/May of 2023. Town has not received a response from PG&E about when the project will be done or what it will cost. The panels are 20+ years old so it may be a good idea to change the panels out.
• Stan suggests that we create a parking structure to install panels on it and increase our generation capacity. 1600A is like 8 new homes at 200A each and the Town will be charged a lot for it.
• Scott makes a motion: Create a Microgrid sub-committee with Andreas, George and Sasha with the following goals:
i. Create a cookbook
ii. Review the Town’s plans for battery backup
iii. Design a microgrid solution for Town Hall to convert the current system into a microgrid

2. Technology for fire/earthquake/powerline safety (20 minutes) • Rajiv is introducing a safety valve where an earthquake of 5.0 would shut the gas off. A screwdriver can reset it after the event. Total cost of installation is $300 including $100 for the valve
• Stan asks if it would work in case of a fire shutoff. No, Rajiv responds that there is one that prevents an excess flow
• Andreas is asking if natural gas is prohibited and Allan says that this is not the case. • Rajiv makes a motion: Propose to the City Council that the Planning dept to require that residents install an earthquake shutoff valve and incentivize existing residents to install one Motion Above

3. Proposal for speed alert systems for busy streets / thoroughfares (15 minutes) • Rajiv is in touch with a speed monitoring company that is installing displays to encourage people to slow down. We only 1.5-2 sheriffs in town so would be a good idea to warn drivers about this. All Traffic Solutions is a vendor that provides such solutions (quote included).

Sherriff could be notified if it detects someone going too fast. It does not record anything so no privacy issues – just a deterrent.
• Discussion about the usefulness and need for this. Scott is asking if the Town owns any of these? Rajiv is not sure if we have any. The one on Fremont is pole-mounted. We may have one in front of Town Hall that is on a trailer and may be owned by the County. • Rajiv makes a motion: Propose to the City Manager and City Council that the Town procure one speed detection device to collect data regarding the average speeds on roads that are known to have speeders on them.
• Motion: Discuss with the City Manager and Sheriff regarding “procurement of one mobile speed detection device to help manage road speeds and gather data” for the September 14, 2022 Technology Committee meeting.

Subject: Agenda Item #9.B EARTHQUAKE SHUT-OFF VALVE
Date: Thursday, September 15, 2022 3:19:53 PM
Respected Council Members,
As I am not able to attend today's meeting, I would like to provide input on this item via email.

Automatic earthquake shutoff valves are a convenient way to automatically turn off natural gas to a home in the event of an earthquake.

In the event of an earthquake (magnitude 5.1 or higher), the valve automatically shuts off gas to the home.

The valve is easy to reset. It can be reset by a homeowner via a pushbutton (actually a pull button).

An excess flow valve is a similar device except that it shuts off in the event of a gas line break.

Of the two, I consider the seismic shutoff valve to be more important because line breaks are rare, usually in response to a local event, while earthquakes impact many properties at once.

The earthquake shutoff valve would address a number of issues:

1. Not every homeowner keeps a wrench next to their gas line to shut it off in the event of an earthquake. The valve eliminates that need.

2. Not every homeowner can find a wrench during a moment of panic and upheaval.

3. Some residents may not have the physical skills to shut off gas when needed (the manual valves are notoriously stiff).

4. If 0.1% of our homes (say 3 homes) catch fire in the event of an earthquake, the fire department (likely already stretched then) will likely be overwhelmed.

5. The importance of avoiding fires in a town like ours cannot be overstated.

I humbly request that the Council consider the following steps:
a) Require all new construction using a gas line to install a seismic shutoff valve. b) Require all remodeling projects over a certain value to install a seismic shutoff valve, similar to requiring smoke and CO2 detectors.
c) Offer a small incentive, say $150, to residents who install a seismic shutoff valve, to cover the cost of the valve.

Labor and installation would be borne by the homeowner.

The rebate would apply to residents who voluntarily installed the valve (absent a remodel/construction).

For example, homeowners could fill out a form, provide a photo of the installation and provide an installer's receipt.

In this year's meeting on Priorities, Public Safety was identified as a key priority for the town.

The Technology Committee is suggesting these valves as a way to improve public safety. (The previous agenda item #9.A, Speed Alert Devices, is recommended by the Technology Committee for the same reason.)
Should the Town Staff not be able to accommodate this within its scope in the current calendar year, we would ask the Council to include this in the priorities for 2023.

Thank you for your consideration, and for your service.

Respectfully,
Rajiv Bhateja
Chair, Technology Committee

TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS

MEMORANDUM
DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2022
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PETER PIRNEJAD, CITY MANAGER

SOFIA MANGALAM, PLANNING DIRECTOR
RE: IMPLEMENTATION OF CLIMATE ACTION PLAN

BACKGROUND
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the impacts of climate change are considered to be a serious threat to public health, environment, economic well-being, and natural resources. 38% of Town’s GHG emissions comes from buildings (residential and commercial). These GHG emissions are almost entirely due to the energy used in natural gas burning appliances such as water heating, space heating and cooking.

State of California has taken an aggressive stance to mitigate the impact of climate change at the state-level through the adoption of legislation and policies. Many local jurisdictions have developed local climate action plans and aligned goals to correspond with state emissions reduction goals. Senate Bill (SB) 32 requires a 40 percent reduction below 1990 levels by 2030.

On October 21, 2021, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the implementation of the revised Climate Action Plan (CAP), in which it identified targets to reduce community-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 52% by 2030 and identified several measures to achieve the goal (See Attachment 1 for Meeting Minutes and copy of CAP.)

DISCUSSION
The CAP is a living document designed to protect our natural resources, prevent harm to the natural environment, enhance human health, and improve the social and economic wellbeing of the community for current and future generations. It establishes a series of measures aimed at reducing the emission of GHGs.

Los Altos Hills has adopted a goal of reducing community GHGs by 52% by 2030. Key goals from the implementation of the revised CAP include reducing the residential use of fossil fuels and migrating all homes off natural gas by 2045.

The implementation of the CAP identifies the following four (4) Community measures as included in Table 1 below:

AGENDA ITEM #9.C
P.P.

S.M.

Table 1: Community Measures in the revised CAP
CAP Implementation
(1) GHG Inventory
As discussed above, CAP has identified targets to reduce GHG emissions by 52% by 2030, and in order to stay on target, it is important that the Town conducts a GHG inventory every year.

A GHG emissions inventory is an estimate of GHGs emitted to, or removed from, the atmosphere over a specific period (usually one year). Preparation of an emissions inventory provides the Town with an understanding of where Town’s GHG emissions are coming from and serves as a starting point for developing strategies that can effectively reduce GHG emissions. The Town last conducted a GHG inventory in 2020 and presented it to the City Council on September 16, 2021. At the September meeting, the City Council expressed inclination to support efforts and committee is to return with a plan and options. (See Attachment 2 City Council meeting minutes).

Earlier in May 2022, Environmental Initiatives Committee (EIC) reached out to town staff regarding conducting GHG inventory. The last GHG inventory was prepared by the CSG Consultants in 2020, thus, EIC asked staff to reach out to CSG again to continue the work on GHG. Staff contacted CSG and asked for a proposal based on the scope of work provided by EIC. (See Attachment 3 minutes from May EIC Meeting) On June 13, 2022, in response to the scope of work, CSG provided a proposal in the amount of $17,232. The following tasks are included in the proposal:
• Project Initiation, Review GHG Inventories to develop GHG Data Needs Spreadsheet and GHG Communications Document
• Data Collection and Complete Draft Community and Municipal GHG Inventories.

• Analyze GHG Inventory methodology and develop Summary Table, review the Draft Inventories with ICLEI staff and Town staff and EIC, and complete final GHG Inventory.

On June 23, 2022, EIC made a motion to recommend to the City Council acceptance of CSG's 6/10/22 proposal to complete seven (7) new GHG inventories. See Attachment 3 for meeting minutes. Staff also reviewed the proposal by CSG and found it comprehensive. (2) Electrification Assessments
Single-family residential building electrification represents one of the largest and most cost-effective opportunities to reduce emissions. Technologies are available now to electrify all residential uses.

Electric appliances that can replace gas appliances include:
• Induction cooktops to replace gas cooktops
• Electric clothes dryers to replace gas clothes dryers • Electrification of space heating in homes with radiant heating • Electrification of water heating in homes with gas tankless water heaters The first measure identified in the adopted CAP is to perform electrification assessments for all existing homes in order to provide residents with a customized pathway for their eventual migration off natural gas. At their meeting of February 10, 2022, the Environmental Initiatives Committee (EIC) worked on a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit responses from qualified vendors for conducting home assessments (See Attachment 3 minutes from the February EIC meeting). The RFQ was issued on May 16, 2022, with a due date of June 16, 2022. The RFQ was posted on Town’s website and emailed to approximately 23 vendors. EIC and staff also conducted a webinar on May 23, 2022, to answer any questions that interested vendors may have on the RFQ.

Staff received four (4) responses to the RFQ, including Quit Carbon, Zero, 4Leaf, and Vistar. Table 2 included below includes the evaluation of the four (4) proposals received:

Incomplete
proposal
Upon evaluation of the responses, EIC and staff selected Quit Carbon and Zero as qualified vendors based on their proposal submittal. The reason two (2) vendors are selected as this is the first time that Town will be undertaking this task, and the choice of two (2) vendors provides better availability and flexibility.

When the Climate Action Plan was adopted by the City Council last year, the EIC provided an estimate of costs associated with the implementation of CAP goals over the next few years. See below Table 3. However, no funds were allocated to CAP at that time.

Table 3: Community Measures Costs
Based on the EIC’s estimation for the cost of home assessments include in Table 3, if this item were to come back to council for approval, staff would request to enter into an agreement with QuitCarbon and Zero in the total amount of $11,100. It is estimated that the following number of home assessments can be provided for this amount. (i) 31 virtual (all) or
(ii) 16 onsite (all) or
(iii) 15 virtual and 9 onsite (with 50/50 funds available for virtual and onsite).

During Town’s annual picnic, EIC had a signup sheet for community members who were interested in getting home assessments conducted. 14 people expressed interest. (3) Rebates
The CAP calls for $14,400 in incentives in FY22-23 to adopt electric appliances, see Table 3 above. EIC researched other jurisdictions to find out what rebates they are providing to homeowners. Table 4 includes information on rebates from five (5) agencies.

At their meeting of August 25,2022, the EIC discussed the idea of rebates and recommended that council move forward with the implementation of rebates as an incentive to home electrification (See Attachment 3 Minutes from August EIC Meeting).

To be clear staff is not suggesting the rebate is an offset of permit or plan check fees. The rebates would be apart from all regular fees paid to the city for plan check and inspections and would be issued after successful completion of a final inspection.

• Maximum of one (1) per household
• Can replace either natural gas or propane
• To be paid directly to homeowner/resident after final inspection is complete FISCAL IMPACT: If the council were to direct staff to bring this back to council there are three (3) amounts associated with the implementation of the CAP (i) $17,232 for conducting GHG inventory; (ii) $11,100 for home assessments; and (iii) $14,400 for rebates. This would require budget appropriation of $42,332 from Unassigned General Fund Reserve.

6 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
September 16, 2021
City Manager Carl Cahill presented the staff report.

Captain Rich Urena presented the Sheriff’s response times in 2021.

Councilmember Mok asked how long it would take to hire a second deputy.

Captain Urena replied that the beginning of fiscal year would work best because of budgeting.

Councilmember Schmidt understood that the second deputy was already working in town at times.

Captain Urena confirmed this.

Vice Mayor Tyson thanked Captain Urena for an excellent report that covered the additional data Council had asked for.

Councilmember Swan said that response time goals were met before the second deputy was added. She wondered if the motorcycle officer was really needed. She suggested that the contract for the motorcycle officer be ended and a patrol car be placed at Gardner Bullis School as a deterrent. Gathering data from the license plate readers, once they are in use, would be more prudent than adding another deputy at this time.

Public Comment
Anand Ranganathan, Los Altos Hills, said we spend $205 per capita. If we add the second deputy, we will be spending more than Saratoga and Cupertino. He was not in support of the additional deputy and extra money. Why do we need to commit the extra money, if we will already pay for it only if we use it? Kjell Karlsson, Los Altos Hills, said the Council should figure out the budget for license plate readers for two patrol cars.

Pat Lang, Los Altos Hills, suggested the Council see the effect of the license plate readers before making a decision.

MOTION MADE AND SECONDED: Councilmember Swan moved that no decision be made on this item at tonight’s meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Mok.

MOTION PASSED 3-2:

9. REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES, SUB-COMMITTEES, AND

COUNCILMEMBERS ON OUTSIDE AGENCIES
A. Report by the Undergrounding Subcommittee (Vice Mayor Tyson) Vice Mayor Tyson presented his undergrounding report.

No action was taken.

B. Report by the Fire Taskforce Subcommittee (Councilmember Schmidt) Councilmember Schmidt presented the fire taskforce report. There will be a Fire Fair at Town Hall on October 23rd and the FireSafe Council has been very helpful.

She asked how we can prioritize tree / brush removal on city rights-of-way? Can we start coming up with a plan to deal with this? We need a good solid plan to accomplish this.

Council discussion ensued regarding the possibility of using swimming pool water to fight fires.

Public Comment
Denise Gluhan, LAHCFD, explained that the fire department has maps on the trucks that include the majority of pools. If that pool is considered part of the property’s fire protection system, it’s required to be plumbed to the road to make it possible to use the pool water to fight fires. That also shows up on the maps and becomes part of the annual hydrant inspection. Fire trucks also carry a hard suction pump that can extract water from pools in a firefighting situation.

No action was taken.

C. Status Reports from All Councilmembers on Subcommittee and Outside Agencies Activities
Councilmember Swan said she is on the Joint Volunteer Awards Committee. She encouraged nominations for Los Altos Hills volunteers.

8 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
September 16, 2021
B. City Attorney – Report on AB 361; Consideration of Options and Possible Direction to Staff
City Attorney Mattas said that Governor Newsom signed AB 361 allowing cities to continue to use teleconference meeting capabilities without having to comply with historic teleconference standards. This law would allow public agencies to continue to use teleconferencing through early 2024. It does require the Town proclaim a state of emergency by determining that in-person meetings would create a risk to the health and safety of attendees, and to renew it monthly. Agencies must allow members of the public to address the legislative body, and to fully participate in the meeting.

Agendas must include information for the public on how they can participate in the meeting.

The new law prohibits public agencies from requiring that public comment be submitted prior to meetings and requires that public comment be taken during the meeting. If there is any disruption in the video or Zoom connection during the meeting, the legislative body must suspend the meeting until the issue has been resolved.

This is an urgency statute, so it takes effect immediately. It applies to all legislative bodies; i.e., the Council, Planning Commission, and standing committees. It would require a Consent Calendar item each month to reaffirm the state of emergency. To discontinue teleconferencing and return to in-person meetings, that item would simply not appear on the Consent Calendar.

MOTION MADE AND SECONDED: Councilmember Swan moved that because the Town is operating under a state of emergency, locally declared and by state action, the Town utilize the authority provided in AB 361 to continue teleconference meetings, given the imminent risk to health and safety of attendees from the current pandemic. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Tyson.

Public Works Director Oscar Antillon responded to questions about the Town’s sewer system.

F. Planning/Building Director - Zoning Analysis on Microwave Antennas Installed at 12648 La Cresta Court on behalf of Los Altos Hills Community Fiber City Manager Carl Cahill presented the report. He said that the dishes appear to be governed by the Town’s wireless ordinance and we will need to follow the process to get a use permit. No action was taken.

11. COUNCIL INITIATED ITEMS
A. Discussion and Possible Action on Forming a Task Force Comprised of Two Members of the Planning Commission to Review Fire Department Requirements for New Construction (Mayor Tankha)
Mayor Tankha presented the item. She suggested a task force comprised of Jitze Couperus and another individual selected by the Planning Commission.

There was Council consensus to allow the Planning Commission to form a twoperson subcommittee to review Fire Department requirements for new construction.

MOTION MADE AND SECONDED: Mayor Tankha moved to direct the Planning Commission to appoint a two-member subcommittee to work with the Fire Department regarding requirements for new construction and explore options to find a solution with County Fire. The Planning Commission shall decide who shall serve on the two-member subcommittee. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Swan.

Public Comment
Jitze Couperus, Los Altos Hills, said it would be best to appoint two members of the Planning Commission who are serving their first terms.

B. Discussion on LAH Municipal Code Title 4 “Public Safety”, Chapter 2 “Fire Prevention” and the Need for Dedicated Fire Prevention Code Enforcement Services (Councilmember Schmidt)

10 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
September 16, 2021
Councilmember Schmidt asked if Town staff could be used for fire-related code enforcement.

City Attorney Mattas confirmed this was acceptable.

Council discussion ensued.

City Manager Cahill suggested a job description be created.

Councilmember Schmidt said this could be a new job for an individual, either part time or full time.

Council discussion ensued regarding what entity should pay for the enforcement services.

Vice Mayor Tyson noted that the issue of private property fire hygiene is of great concern and should be addressed quickly for the overall safety of this town. This is a relatively small expense. We are going to apply an inspection and have the homeowners take care of the problems themselves. If they don’t, we can pay a contractor and issue liens. That is a normal approach.

Councilmember Schmidt reaffirmed the need to develop a position. Her first priority is the town’s safety.

Public Comment
Allan Epstein, Los Altos Hills, the audit findings dealt with the fact the district paid to mediate the risk on individual properties. Councilmember Schmidt is talking about enforcement and the policies in place needing to be followed.

There was general consensus to allow Councilmember Schmidt to work with staff to develop a plan to be discussed in detail.

C. Discussion on Placing Deed Restrictions on Units Built Under Senate Bill 9 (SB9) (Mayor Tankha)
Mayor Tankha presented the item. She asked if staff could work on guidelines to make sure that developers don’t take advantage of what SB9 allows them to do. What kind of restrictions could be put in place?
Council discussion ensued.

There was general consensus to allow staff to work on this.

Public Comment
Barry Smith, Los Altos Hills, said it would be good for us to see what can be

ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES COMMITTEE
Regular Meeting Minutes
Date: Feb 10, 2022

1. Attendees:
a. Members: Vrinda, Steve, Anand, Pat, Sasha, Aileen, Srini, April b. Council liaison: Stan
c. Public: Sarah Robustelli (with guest appearance from new son Sean!)

2. Approval of Minutes of the meetings on Jan.13, 2021
a. Moved by Steve; Seconded by Srini; Unanimous approval.

3. Agenda Review: Approved.

4. Theme and planning for Earth Day Celebrations (Sarah) a. April 24th, Sunday, 1-4 at Westwind Barn
b. Background: Excited to have events running again. In the past, Open Space had invited Leopards, Inc to provide entertainment. Sarah has reached out to them but hasn't heard back yet. Also not sure if it will be safe to gather in such close proximity. Looking for other ideas that will draw a crowd. c. Will reach out to GreenTown, GreenWaste, PHWD, Hidden Villa. Hike scheduled at 2pm for GrassRoots Ecology and Farms. They will also sell native plants. Maybe reptiles & amphibians too? Grassroot Ecology will do a hike at 2:00
d. Steve: We have set tables for energy conservation, green house gas reduction in the past –but no traction. With no cats what will be the response. Hike may attract a lot of people
e. Aileen: Acterra demonstration of Induction Cooktops? Sarah will contact them. f. Srini: Demonstrate EVs? JoeS, SteveS... plus a Lucid? And a Rivian? would all be nice to have. What residents have these?
g. Other ideas? Send a note to Sarah at [email protected]

5. Discuss possible ban on gas-powered leaf blowers
a. Steve: Resident Cris Schibold was going to present. (He is now on the town council's agenda for next week.)
b. Aileen: Approved CA bill (AB 1346) will drive Air Resource Board regarding new sales
c. Sasha: Electric leaf blower better than gas; expensive, but works better. d. Action: Wait for results from Cris' presentation to council.

6. Reach codes–Expand, Simplify, Continue, or Electrify: Timeline and Strategy a. Steve: We need to pick our battles; suggested doing the minimum to update our existing Reach code for 2023.
b. Sasha: Maybe require leak testing on gas leak replacement? (He did his own leak test.)

i. Stan: Offer a program to check for leaks?
c. Steve: Leaks at every stage of the gas delivery network. Will take time (staff, EIC, council) to push for tighter controls. Also, Some gas lines are very old and need to be replaced, if we are looking at 2045 as the end of gas use, electrification would be a better solution than replacing them now. . d. Anand: Seems inconsistent to allow gas in brand new homes, when we need to be totally off it by 2045... But doesn't have time to lead the charge. Palo Alto reach code starting 2020, requires new buildings to be fully electric. We can try to do that too in 2023
e. Sasha: For replacing gas powered appliances –not much available for heating spas , but pool heating should be possible
f. Stan: There is very little appetite for cutting off gas right now. g. Approved: Punt until April, when SVCE should have final wording of "model ordinance" options (https://bayareareachcodes.org/).

7. Update on CAP measures,
a. Anand: Good news on all the government actions! Switch to renewable diesel done for townWater district will also switch to renewable diesel; fire district will consider in 2023 when they switch vendors. Town staff are now getting free EV charging! They are running out of spots for recharging–they are looking into adding to the charging capacity. Council priority list includes battery storage, and EV-first green fleet! Congratulations!
b. Steve: feedback on new assessment options. Found some vendors who might do it. Now working on a draft RFP for assessments. Several issues discussed:
i. How to encourage? Assessments will be subsidized by town. Also, once an assessment is completed, associated permit fees could be waived. Finally, if a resident takes action within [one year?], town may provide financial incentives.PA has Clear results doing the assessment.

It is subsidized by PA but they have done very few. BlockPower of Ithaca but they project managers for financing but they do the assessment. Emerald Energy is another one. They can prioritize the electrification projects and give a rough estimate of costs. The reports will be good enough for getting bids without the need for another assessment. City will get a copy which can be used for outreach, we can decide on subsidizing , or waive permit fees and if assessment is followed by action we could offer further subsidies or incentives. ii. All Electric California– in San Francisco is very eager to do this. There are more startups also interested. Steve working on a draft RFP. There is a list of 10 possible candidates..
iii. Who will do the outreach/promotion? The town.
iv. Should we require "independent" assessments from a contractor who does not do the implementation? Yes.
v. Could we make permit data available to the contractor if they want it? No -- according to Sasha it's still all in paper format (not electronic). vi. Sasha: How will we audit/certify the results? Stan suggested town staff could do this. Steve suggested we define required features of the assessment reports.
c. Vrinda: Options for simplifying permitting... maybe part of reach codes? Discuss in April.
d. Sasha: re reducing vehicle miles in town, to reduce particulate emissions.

Related data here and here. Steve and Anand argued that natural gas

emissions (which continue to rise) are more important than transportation emissions (which are declining). No action.

8. Topics of Interest /Open Discussion
a. Steve described this "Mayor's pledge" from Rewiring America. Very much aligned with our new CAP. EIC could recommend George sign it. b. To be agendized for next meeting, for a vote.

9. EIC meeting to be changed to 4th Thursday (added with the revision) a. Anand moved, April seconded, Unanimous support.

10. Next EIC meeting: March 24th at 6:30pm

11. Adjournment at 8:00pm

Regular Meeting Minutes
Date: April 28, 2022

1. Attendees:
a. Committee: Vrinda, Sasha, Anand, Steve, Pat, April & Stan b. Others: PeterP, Cris Scheibold, Daniel Liang(staff)

2. Approval of minutes:Anand moved & seconded by Pat, approved as written unanimously

3. Agenda review: Sasha Moved & seconded by Pat as is; unanimous

4. Addition of new EV chargers
a. Peter described his options: With panel upgrades there is capacity to add 2 more EV chargers. Two alternatives: ChargePoint chargers ( about $12K already budgeted for) with one system, one provider, or donation of two chargers by town resident, as long as he gets the tax exemptions and carbon credits. b. Sasha: Might be more resilient to have different types. c. Vrinda: Too complicated later on to accept the donated ones. d. Recommended to go with Peter's suggestion with 2 Chargepoint.

5. Gas powered Leaf Blower Ordinance by Cris Schiebold (refer to Appendix 1 below) a. No leaf blower ordinance today in LAH. Adjacent towns have some kind of ordinance, some have banned gas powered, others have limited the sound levels. Compliance is improving. Manufacturers have adopted that standard of 65dB.Most achieve this by using mufflers.
b. Peter: Can the town do aits work with electric. Later this year, our staff will check. c. Cris The technology is there but are expensive, battery lasts for 3-4 hours. Don’t want to ban gas powered ones but looking for an ordinance that will regulate noise levels and hours of usage
d. April, Anand, Sasha : maintain the time schedule by cross referencing the construction noise ordinance
e. Peter: In Palo Alto, enforcement was an issue. In LAH staffing is an issue. This would be a Priority 3 issue–public nuisance– for Sheriffs when the town hall is closed with response time of 20-30mins, with mi\unicipal code issue–likely to get a warning. During office hours it will be addressed by code enforcement officers–give citations to the gardners (not the owners) and charge according to a fee schedule for the violation. The violation will have to be witnessed by the officer, with a dB meter.
f. Anand: Should not be criminalized, Stan: Against use of law enforcement-for budgetary reasons and for ethical reasons. Gardeners work very hard in difficult conditions for not much pay.
g. April: Town sends courtesy letter for violation

h. Anand believes town agreed "no mandates". If mandates cannot be imposed on residents then why on gardeners.It is unfair and immoral. Concerned that it is a hardship we are imposing on garners without any incentives. i. Cris: The hours of operation have to be different for leaf blowers and construction equipment.
j. Steve moved and April seconded to recommend to council Cris' recommended proposal as written with two amendments:
i. Enforcement will be light handed, done only by city staff when a code enforcement officer is at hand. EIC does not recommend the police be involved for enforcement.
ii. EIC recommends, but suggests the council debate the pros and cons of the ban on gas devices starting January 2024.
k. Vote: 5 (Aileen, April, Pat, Steve, Vrinda in favor) 2 opposed. Motion passed. l. Stan will decide to take it to the council

6. Petition to Mayor to sign the Mayor’s Pledge to Electrify a. Discussion of how it aligns with our CAP and our town's actions. b. Petition introduced by Rewiring America–Menlo Park, HMB, San Jose, Palo Alto have already pledged.
c. Sasha: What is the purpose? To show growing support for electrification nationwide.
d. Steve moved, Pat seconded. Unanimous support. Motion passed.

7. Methane Monitoring Program from Rob Jackson (Refer to Appendix 2) a. Steve summarized. No regs on gas companies to declare what is the composition of the gas delivered. Funding required for establishing a national network. There are no permissions required, Aski. community volunteer testing sites to test and approval to publish the findings
ii. Little bit of funding $1200 a quarter or $3600 for the year b. Vrinda: Any Liability? RJ does not know
c. Anand: Good research, but why should we pay for this? d. Stan: We have to pay for it, and probably pay more than others. e. Sasha: Great idea, but what is the benefit of regular monitoring? (Steve didn't know but trusts Rob that it's important.)
f. Steve made a motion to recommend the description (below) to council for approval, with the amendment that we recommend paying for monthly measurements ($3600).
g. Sasha & Pat seconded. 5 in favor, 1 opposed. Motion passed.

8. Update on CAP: Vrinda
a. EIC was at the Erth Day celebrations, could not get much response to the Air Travel survey since it was not well attended by the residents of LAH. b. Sofia working on RFQ for Electrification Assessments c. Town has assigned contractor to work on streamlining permit process.

9. Topics of Interest:
a. Anand:PG&E is taking sign up for trying out Induction stoves for two weeks.

Sasha: You can also borrow infrared camera from PG&E
b. April asked for volunteers for picnic June 5th. All committees invited. Expecting 1500 (down from 2000) due to COVID.
c. April will request canopy for EIC.
d. Discussion about EIC activity will be on the next meeting agenda

10. Next EIC meeting May 26th at 6:30pm. Stan may be late; we will hold any critical items for him.

11. Adjourned at 8:15pm Sasha moves to adjourn, Anand seconded __________________________________________
Appendix 1
Recommended Leaf Blower Ordinance “Asks”:

Hours of Operation:
8:30 to 5:30 Weekdays, 9:00 to 5:00 Saturdays, operation of leaf blowers not allowed on Sundays and holidays.

Noise Limit:

Leaf blowers (both gas and electric) must not exceed 65 dB as specified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard B175 for leaf blowers. Leaf blowers must carry the manufacturer's sticker certifying 65 dB compliance or be approved and stamped by the city. No modification to the muffler or the manufacturer's noise suppression system is allowed after certification.

Gas Leaf Blowers:

Use of all gas leaf blowers will be banned starting on January 1, 2024, coinciding with the California state ban on the sale of gas leaf blowers. ______________________________________
Appendix 2
Request for EIC consideration:
● Approve a petition to the Town Council to participate in a new community-based network to sample the chemical composition of natural gas delivered to LAH homes.
● The study will help determine any health issues associated with natural gas use. ● Funding request is $3,600 for the first year for monthly gas sampling (preferred), or $1,200 for quarterly.

Background:

Professor Rob Jackson runs the Jackson Lab at Stanford. Rob has studied leaks in our natural gas system in Boston streets and New Mexico oil fields, and leaks and health impacts of gas appliances in CA homes.

The lab is now developing a community-based network to sample the chemical composition of natural gas in homes and buildings across the United States. Leaks from oil and gas infrastructure outdoors have raised concerns about the chemicals found in gas, such as benzene detected at the Aliso Canyon blowout, but we have no publicly available information on the chemical constituents in natural gas leaking into our homes and buildings. Therefore, we’d like to establish a national network by collecting monthly or quarterly unburned gas samples from home stoves in as many cities as possible. We’ll have them analyzed at certified

laboratories using the EPA’s TO-15A method for measuring the concentrations of volatile organic carbon compounds (VOCs), including benzene, butadiene, ethylbenzene, and toluene.

An important part of the network will be to make all of the national data we find available to the public.

For gas sampling, ideally we’d collect monthly or quarterly from one home in each city (could be the same home). There’s no reason to expect PG&E gas to differ across houses in LAH. We hope the city would pay for the canister analysis (either ~$300x4 for quarterly or $300x12 for monthly). We just sampled our first home in Menlo Park.

The "ask" would be for the city council to support the concept of disclosure for what’s in the natural gas supplied to LAH residents and support the costs of the chemical analyses to determine the chemical constituents. We would request funding for one year and then revisit for continued testing.

Additional Q&A from Rob:

1. Is there any risk or downside to the city for allowing you to publish your findings? No, I can’t imagine any possible downside. The city is not liable for the chemical composition of the gas.

2. Why couldn't you just get approval from individual PG&E customers instead? We could. We don’t need city or utility approval or permission to do this. However, our goal is to start a national network of sites, and we can’t pay for sampling all of them.

City endorsements are also helpful to say, “We think this information is important.” Porter Ranch is an example of where such information would have been helpful, had it been available.

3. Is a permit required to hook up a new gas device (e.g. your test canister) within a home?
No permit is required. It’s a one-minute job and we don’t remove or alter any infrastructure to or on the existing gas appliance.

4. Could the gas utility claim the gas mixture is proprietary? Trade secrets and privacy issues shouldn’t impede our network, so long as the sampled gas comes from inside a home or building “post-meter”.

By analogy, it’s illegal to break into a Coca Cola plant to discover its ingredients, but you can buy a can of coke at the store and analyze its ingredients to your heart’s content, no permission needed. The same is true of natural gas in our homes.

3. Agenda: Anand made motion to approve, Steve seconded, unanimous approval.

4. Community Facilities Needs Assessment Presentation and Motion (Sarah):
a. Vrinda noted that a motion was already made and approved at our last meeting after SteveP left. No action needed.

5. Releasing carbon credits to an EV Charger company
a. Melissa Elian, assistant Engr, introduced George Lee from PowerFlex (and LAH resident and Los Altos based company) b. Started Powerflex in CalTech in S. CA 5-6 years ago-do all things renewable energy- acquired by EDF Renewables in 2019
c. 9,000 EV chargers installed in CA;400 MW in commercial solar 3rd largest commercial solar PV installer; plus big on batteries, a turnkey company. Powerflex works with lots of municipalities, workplaces, nonprofits, and education institutions. Largest provider of large scale charging stations (>30 chargers). Local governments – Palo Alto, Mountain View, San Jose, UCSF, SLAC, Stanford business Park, Fleets.
d. Different types of chargers 7 kW (LAH has 7kW chargers now) 10- 19 kW and three types of DC fast chargers (40 mins. more expensive, require more power at Supermarkets or Libraries).

Townhall can be the starting point, can be at the baseball field, or at the barn
e. Pay by Mobileapp–deposit money and charge
f. MikeS: What's the rough cost per kWh?
George: from free to expensive -- depends on customer.At the schools in Los Altos-free during the day and in the evening it is $0.40/ kWh. For LAH PG&E rate is $0.25/kWh, with solar offset it may be in $0.10/kWh range. Powerflex has been subsidizing the schools for last 3-4 years.
g. Steve: Can they support the town staff for free? George: Yes, based on losaltoshills.gov email address.

h. 90% of customers agree to give PowerFlex the carbon credits in return for free O&M (Chargepoint is about $400/year).
i. For LAH there are two chargers, -expand it to 5 ports at the cost $16-17K. Powerflex offer-will donate the chargers and O&M charges waived for 5 years
j. PowerFlex keeps the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits.

From the CA air board. 1 Carbon Credit is ~1 MWh. Worth about 8 cents per kWh. Price has fluctuated from $80-$200-$80 per carbon credit– very volatile. PF assumes the risks There are a lot of bookkeeping details –expensive for small customers.
k. Win-win solution because, if a power station is not working PF has an incentive to fix. If no carbon credits – no revenue for PF.

Unless the site is busy all day long, it will not break even to cover installation and O&M cost.
l. Melissa: Town staff doesn't have the bandwidth to do LCSF credits themselves. Powerflex has a whole team for this.Town can review the arrangement after the 5 years.
m. Anand: Confirmed that Powerflex funded the full cost of products and maintenance, while the town pays for installation. ( same agreement with Mountain View, and Palo Alto (3 years)
n. Steve: Will this affect our GHG inventory in any way? George is not sure. Probably not. If people pay for the charge, PF will reimburse the city for the whole amount.
o. George suggests 30 chargers... Oscar says the panel can't support it yet (only 5-level 2-25-30 miles per hour) and Melissa added that there will be ADA requirements
p. Oscar: the purchase cost of Chargepoint more that Powerflex.

The installation costs are similar.
q. Request: Motion: Recommend supporting a town agreement with Powerflex to provide free chargers and maintenance for 5 years in exchange for use of carbon credits.
r. Steve moved, MikeS seconded, unanimous approval.

6. EIC recommendations for Telecom carriers that have current leases in Town, who want to install back-up generators– Cody Einfalt will introduce the topic (absent).
a. Anand suggests that AT&T should pay for batteries instead of generators
b. Postponed until next meeting.

7. Recommend to City Council acceptance of CSG's 6/10/22 proposal to complete 7 new GHG inventories (not to exceed $17,232). a. Anand made the motion to approve, Steve seconded,
unanimous approval.

8. Discuss possible permit fee changes to encourage electrification for CAP goals.
a. Sofia proposed flat line item credit ($200?) and a max of 50 incentives over a year.
b. Anand: Will the homeowner get the money or the contractor? Sofia: could be either.
c. Oscar: Maybe $100-$250 per electrified device, sent directly to homeowner.... Need to set a budget , maybe a limit of 50/year? d. Anand: Maybe BayREN could administer this? Sofia to check.

e. MikeS: When he installed his HPWH he got $3-5k in incentives from other places... would an extra $100 be too little? Contractors will need to know about the rebates from LAH.
f. Sofia check whether the town has the capacity to write the checks,will do a bit more research, check with Finance about how to set up the rebates and track it. LAH is going to have a dedicated web page for electrification–will include a check list of permits and rebate available –permit streamlining, does not change the financial aspect of pulling a permit.
g. Anand : Can BayREN run the program with money from LAH? h. Steve: We have about $15,000 for incentives in the budget for next year. We need a resolution from EIC for budget
augmentation. Then we can decide at our next meeting. In August CC agenda is crowded but the resolution can be considered at the September City Council Meeting.
i. New subcommittee for Permit rebates: Sasha, Anand, MikeS

9. Update on Climate Action Plan Implementation
a. Town got four proposals -- 2 disqualified
b. Of the remaining 2,
one on the east coast. They have done virtual assessments for a while –send a kit consisting of a cell phone, loaded with apps, tape measure and infrared gun etc.,then have a interactie conversation with the consultant. Once done no further
contractors need to visit the house.Agreed to $350 per audit from town to the contractors for approved audits, paid monthly. Covers all of a virtual audit; for residents that prefer in person audits, they would have to pay the difference (~$250), probably directly to the contractor. We will discuss this with the contractors.

Second proposal was quite similar., from SF firm, provide a virtual and onsite audit.
c. Questions: Should we approve 1 or 2? Agreement to approve both.
d. Discussion about incentive to contractors... agreement that this is a good thing. Not sure how to administer. To be discussed with contractors. We have to have an agreement and should be in the minutes. Then Stan will take it to CC–won’t happen until September
e. Pat: Would want to have an onsite visit -- didn't feel comfortable with the "kit" idea.
f. MikeS: Learned a ton by walking around with an onsite assessor; lots of benefit to this, IF the onsite person is experienced with electrification issues.
g. Vrinda: The SF guys will be able to walk around, but the Massachusetts company doesn't have local resources.

The motion is to approve a list of qualified vendors. These two vendors will be on that list . We recommend the city agree to pay a total amount of $11,100 for the assessments.

Sofia to figure out the method of payment of $350 per

assessment.

MikeS made a motion to approve, Steve seconded,
unanimous approval.

4. Agenda Review

5. Public Comment

6. Open Space Committee Turf Recommendations - Kit Gordon a. Kit presented
b. Vrinda: What is the issue? Kit: Mainly educational.
c. Steve: Installed artificial turf in 2007 for kids/dogs/play area. Kit uses Carex instead of turf for the play area. Many more options now. d. Mike: Appreciates the nuanced approach. Can't just call it "hardscape", because it might encourage people to install turf instead.
e. Sasha: Found some code that references artificial turf (link here)

7. 2022 Reach Code Update - Vrinda B
a. Sasha: Use Palo Alto's definition of retrofit -- simple. b. Sofia: Make sure it is easy to implement -- very limited staff time to focus. Do all electric buildings for October (new constructions).
c. Mike: What type of outreach would be needed? Sofia:
d. Steve: Need to be cognizant of Staff's time.
e. Stan: Should take our time... get all ducks in a row and promote next year. f. Peter: Need to be more aggressive! We need to make sure people protect their homes and make them carbon free. Start by defining the goal, and make the trigger very clear. Communicate goals to residents and contractors/architects. g. Sasha: What about using gas for backup systems? Should be ok until 2045...? h. Steve: Keep it simple, let Staff lead.
i. Stan: Very supportive, but don't overshoot what the public will support. j. Steve moved to approve Vrinda's plan and forward to staff, for Staff to modify as they see fit. Vrinda seconded. Unanimous support.

8. Electrification Rebate - Anand R
a. $14,400 budget to encourage electrification
b. Recommends $1000 incentive for HPWHs
c. IRA will add another $2000 -- so for a DIY 120V HWPH, it can be pretty much free!
d. Sofia: This is not a permit reduction, but an incentive. Anand confirmed.

DRAFT

e. Stan: What is the installation cost? Anand/Mike: Varies a lot. This won't cover it all, but will help.
f. Sasha: Operating cost is not always lower for replacement of 80% efficient gas water heaters, with current rates. Steve noted that many older water heaters have lower efficiency (like this one available today at Home Depot at 59% efficiency), and for those a HPWH saves money.
g. Steve moved to approve proposal to Staff, Sasha seconded, passed unanimously

9. Update on Climate Action Plan Implementation - Steve S a. Report from Fairbanks, AK: Drunken Forests, sagging buildings, melting ice lenses, new bird species, salmon stocks plummeting.
b. Any takers for EA beta tests? Mike (tried QuitCarbon, will next try RetrofitZero), Vrinda, Steve.
c. Vrinda asked about GHG inventory contract: Anand thinks it goes in front of council in September but will confirm.

10. Topics of Interest /Open Discussion
a. Steve, regarding outreach on CAP: Environmental education/outreach has failed in the past. Compared to neighboring towns, LAH has a disengaged community:
we have a silent majority in favor of environmental action but who are not engaged. The only engaged residents on these topics are deniers who shout down change. Staff can do outreach for contractors & architects, but they don't vote. Our council has strong backbones and can ignore deniers.

11. Agenda requests for next meeting
a. Sasha: Bush abatement. He can't get home insurance.
b. Outreach discussion

TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS

MEMORANDUM
DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2022
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PETER PIRNEJAD, CITY MANANGER

SOFIA MANGALAM, PLANNING DIRECTOR
RE: REACH CODES

BACKGROUND
While the State of California updates the building code every three years and all jurisdictions must adopt this code at a minimum, cities and counties may also choose to adopt local building codes that “reach” above and beyond the State minimum. A local jurisdiction can choose to adopt a reach code in order to achieve additional health, safety, and environmental benefits such as increased energy and emissions savings.

Reach Codes are amendments to the Energy and Green Building Standards Codes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Adopting Reach Codes create opportunities for local governments to lead initiatives on climate change solutions, clean air, and renewable energy. Reach Codes establish higher standards for new constructions to provide environmental and health benefits to the community.

In the last cycle of updates, on January 16, 2020, the City Council voted 4-1 to introduce an ordinance to amend the Town’s Building Code regulations to include “reach code” amendments to the 2019 California Energy Code requiring all-electric space and water heating systems in new residential buildings. Gas fueled cooking appliances, clothes dryers and fireplaces are permitted, but pre-wiring for these appliances is required (see Attachment 1).

State 2022 Energy Code Update
The California Energy Commission (CEC) is the State’s primary energy policy and planning agency with a mission to lead the State to a 100 percent clean energy future.

The CEC develops policies to reduce energy usage and costs, limit the environmental impacts of energy generation and use, and ensure a safe, resilient, and reliable supply of energy.

As California’s energy policy agency, the CEC was mandated by the Warren Alquist Act to periodically update and adopt building standards to increase the energy efficiency of AGENDA ITEM #9.D
P.P.

buildings and reduce GHGs. Part 6 of Title 24 implemented this mandate so that every three years, the CEC presents Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Code) updates for new construction and renovations to existing buildings. After the CEC adopts these standards, they are submitted to the California Building Standards Commission for approval and inclusion with other changes to the building code.

The proposed 2022 Energy Code Updates focuses on four key areas in the new construction of homes and businesses:
• Encouraging electric heat pump technology and use
• Establishing electric-ready requirements when natural gas is installed • Expanding solar photovoltaic (PV) system and battery storage standard • Strengthening ventilation standards to improve indoor air quality How does the 2022 Energy Code affect new homes?
• Establishes energy budgets based on efficient heat pumps for space or water heating to encourage builders to install heat pumps over gas-fueled HVAC units. • Requires homes to be electric-ready, with dedicated 240-volt outlets and space (with plumbing for water heaters) so electric appliances can eventually replace installed gas appliances.
• Increases minimum kitchen ventilation requirements so that fans over cooktops have higher airflow or capture efficiency to better exhaust pollution from gas cooking and improve indoor air quality.
• Allows exceptions to existing solar PV standards when roof area is not available (such as for smaller homes).

As stated earlier, cities and counties may choose to adopt local building codes that “reaches” above and beyond the State minimum. This memo outlines the options that the Town may adopt to go beyond the State minimum and associated timeline.

Timeline for Adoption
In concert with the State’s standards, the amended building code will go into effect on January 1, 2023. As per BayRen, the generalized timeline for adoption of Reach Codes is as follows:

Source: https://www.bayren.org/how-adopt-reach-code/timeline Environmental Initiatives Committee
Staff first reached out to the Environmental Initiatives Committee (EIC) on January 13, 2022, to discuss Reach Codes. Staff explained that new codes will be in effect from January 2023, and we need to scope out a community engagement process to figure out how far we can go with the Reach code (see Attachment 2 for EIC meeting minutes).

Subsequently, EIC discussed Reach Codes at its February meeting and decided to wait for the final wording of the model ordinance from Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE).

On June 23, 2022, EIC formed a subcommittee to discuss Reach Codes. Staff met the subcommittee a few times (June 27, August 8 and 18) to discuss potential Reach Codes along with SVCE and/or the consultant Building Official from CSG (see Attachment 2 EIC meeting minutes).

On August 25, 2022, the EIC subcommittee presented its recommendations for Reach Code Updates to the Committee. It discussed that the Reach Code updates can have three (3) options:
• Simplify
• Readopt
• Expand
The recommendations included adding laundry and ovens to “must electrify” list and requiring all New Construction Group R-3 units to be Level 2 EV ready for one parking space per dwelling unit (the new building code requires to be EV capable). The recommendation included leaving kitchen stoves and outdoors alone. It further included defining “New Construction” clearly and addressing “Substantial Remodels and Additions” to be included in “New Construction”. It noted that staff can decide on the definitions of “new building, substantial remodel, and substantial addition”.

At the meeting, staff suggested that we hold off on adding ‘substantial remodel and addition’ to “New Construction” after staff has the chance to conduct outreach as more residents will be affected by this change. Staff also suggested further studying the potential language to add substantial remodels/additions so that it is easy to implement.

Committee expressed concerns that if ‘substantial remodels and additions’ are not included for electrification or delayed, the Town won’t be able to achieve its Climate Action Plan (CAP) goals.

Staff further noted that the Town may need to be more aggressive and add all ‘additions and remodels’ for electrification in order to achieve the said goals. However, it is important that the CAP goals are communicated to residents, contractors, architects and so on as well as the Council agrees to more aggressive goals. This will require community meetings and so on before adopting more aggressive Reach Codes. In the end, Committee made a motion to “approve the presented plan and forward to staff, for staff to modify as they see fit” (see Attachment 2 for EIC meeting minutes).

Potential Future Action Council
As noted earlier in the timeline section, that the new building code cycle will go into effect from January 1, 2023. Based on this, the Ordinance must be brought to the City Council for adoption in October, followed by the second reading in November. It must be noted that our existing reach codes, as included in the Municipal Code, must be readopted so that they are not voided.

City Council has the following options for Reach Codes:

1. Readopt the existing Reach Codes

2. Readopt the existing Reach codes with a few additions- • ‘New Construction’ all electrification with exceptions for cooktop and outdoors. • EV ready

3. Add ‘Substantial Remodel and Additions’ per EIC’s recommendations

4. Electrify all remodels and additions.

If the council agrees to make this a priority, then staff would need to accelerate a process to bring this back to Council. Of the options before the council, staff recommends that the Town selects option 2 for adoption in October as these changes only apply to “New Homes.” It must be noted that in our current Reach Codes, we require all-electric space and water heating systems in new construction and the proposed option 2 will now add ovens, laundry for electrification and EV ready to it. Keeping in mind the time constraint, staff reached out to our consultant Building official from CSG, to seek help in drafting the Ordinance. CSG will charge the Town $900 to modify the Town’s existing Reach Code ordinance in preparation for adoption (see Attachment 2).

Given the new codes come into effect in January 2023, staff understands the urgency in getting this done before November. However, given the magnitude of proposed changes that would affect the residents by applying a higher standard to substantial remodel and

additions, staff suggests that this work be assigned back to the EIC for consideration in their 2023 goals. If these priorities make it to the council’s priorities in 2023, then staff would support the effort and help facilitate the effort needed to engage the public and define a process to expand our Reach Codes during the next triannual building Code Cycle.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS AMENDING
CHAPTER 1. 6 ( ENERGY CODE) OF TITLE 8 ( BUILDING

REGULATIONS) OF THE LOS ALTOS HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE AND

ADOPT BY REFERENCE REGULATIONS THAT REQUIRE THE

ELECTRIFICATION OF SPACE AND WATER HEATING SYSTEMS IN

NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS BASED ON SPECIAL LOCAL

CONDITIONS
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code section 17958 requires that cities adopt building regulations that are substantially the same as those adopted by the California Building Standards Commission and contained in the California Code of Regulations — Title 24; and WHEREAS, the 2019 California Energy Code is a part ofthe 2019 California Code ofRegulations and implements minimum energy efficiency standards in buildings through mandatory requirements, prescriptive standards, and performances standards; and WHEREAS, Public Resources Code Section 25402. 1( h)2 and Section 10- 106 of the Building Energy Efficiency Standards ( Standards) establish a process which allows local adoption of energy standards that are more stringent than the statewide Standards, provided that such local standards are cost effective and the California Energy Commission finds that the standards will require buildings to be designed to consume no more energy than permitted by the 2019 California Energy Code; and
WHEREAS, the California Statewide Codes and Standards Program led the development of a cost-effectiveness study for Energy Code reach codes that examined different performance- based approaches for new construction of specific building types and determined that such modifications will result in designs that cons -Lime less energy than they would under the 2019 State Energy Code; and
WHEREAS, the City Council ofthe Town of Los Altos Hills finds that the local amendments to the California Energy Code contained in this ordinance are cost effective and will require buildings to be designed to consume no more energy than permitted by the California Energy Code; and WHEREAS, pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958. 5, 17958. 7 and 18941. 5, the City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills hereby finds that the modifications to the building standards contained in the California Code of Regulations are reasonably necessary based on the following local climatic, geological or topographical conditions:

I Climatic: The Town is located in Climate Zone 3 as established in the 2019 California Energy Code. Climate Zone 3 incorporates communities near the coast from Marin County to southern Monterey County including Los Altos Hills. The Town experiences precipitation ranging from 18 to 22 inches per year with an average of approximately 20 inches per year. Ninety- five percent of precipitation falls during the months of November through April, leaving a dry period of approximately six months each year.

Ordinance 589 Page 1 Page 421 of 437
Relative humidity remains moderate most of the time and temperatures average 80 degrees the mid -50s in winter. These climatic conditions along with the greenhouse emissions generated from residential structures requires exceeding the energy standards for building construction established in the 2019 California Building Standards Code. The Town' s City Council also adopted a Climate Action Plan that has a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions below 1990 levels by the year 2030. In order to achieve and maintain this goal, the Town needs to adopt policies and regulations that reduce the use of fossil fuels that contribute to climate change, such as natural gas in buildings.

2. Geologic: The Town of Los Altos Hills is subject to earthquake hazard caused by its proximity to San Andreas fault. This fault runs from Hollister, through the Santa Cruz Mountains, epicenter of the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, up the San Francisco Peninsula eventually moving offshore at Daly City near Mussel Rock. This fault system is considered a major Northern California earthquake faults which may experience rupture at any time. Thus, because the City is within a seismic area which includes these earthquake faults, the modifications and changes cited herein are designed to better limit property damage as a result of seismic activity.

3. Topographic: The Town of Los Altos Hills consists of ridgelines, rolling foothills and deep wooded canyons that affect climate conditions resulting in increased use of heating and cooling systems and the trapping ofpotential greenhouse gases in the valley floors.

WHEREAS, in accordance with Health and Safety Code section 17958. 7, the City Council hereby finds that each of the above findings is applicable to each of the modifications to the 2019 Edition of the California Energy Code described in this ordinance; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills finds that this project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (" CEQA"), pursuant to Section 15061( b)( 3) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills does hereby further ORDAIN as follows:

1. Title 8, Chapter 1. 6, " Energy Code," of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code is hereby amended to add Section 8- 1. 6.02, with additions in underline and deletions in strikethrough to reflect local amendments.

a. Peter introduced Melanie; Peter spoke with Girish (SVCE), and had worked with ID 360 at Palo Alto on Reach codes, water conservation and Green building. Need to renew Reach codes by January. Need to scope out a community engagement process to figure out how far we can go with Reach code.
b. Steve: Lots of background on Reach codes vs other incentives.... bringing Peter & Melanie up to speed
i. Vrinda: We're focused on incentives, not mandates;
ii. Steve: Reach codes for retrofits have not yet been successful in other places. c. ID360 sustainability consulting firm, focused on local governments in northern CA , based in Menlo Park, women owned business;

They do staff training, etc. Intelligent management strategy for implementation of CAP. vii. Melanie not involved in MP CAP, nor Palo Alto's Home GENIE service. d. Peter: Mandates are best, but may not yet be politically viable. Let us think outside the box. LAH can be a leader in this. We should consider "soft" building code changes–create panel capacity, conduit, and a gray water system at different times in the building life.
e. Jay: Education is key! Is a HPWH cheaper than a gas? What rate is best? Etc.

f. April : Just went through two water heaters –the market offers gas water heaters the electric ones are hard to find, the offerings are few and it takes effort to find the electric ones, availability is an issue, can’t wait for 6 weeks. g. Anand : Here is the information
https://www.paloaltoonline.com/blogs/p/2021/10/17/using-heat-pump-specs-to-answeryour-common-sense-questions h. Steve: Depends on the rate, TOU and many other issues. i. Srini: What results so far?

ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES COMMITTEE
Regular Meeting Minutes
Date: Feb 10, 2022

1. Attendees:
a. Members: Vrinda, Steve, Anand, Pat, Sasha, Aileen, Srini, April b. Council liaison: Stan
c. Public: Sarah Robustelli (with guest appearance from new son Sean!)

2. Approval of Minutes of the meetings on Jan.13, 2021
a. Moved by Steve; Seconded by Srini; Unanimous approval.

3. Agenda Review: Approved.

4. Theme and planning for Earth Day Celebrations (Sarah) a. April 24th, Sunday, 1-4 at Westwind Barn
b. Background: Excited to have events running again. In the past, Open Space had invited Leopards, Inc to provide entertainment. Sarah has reached out to them but hasn't heard back yet. Also not sure if it will be safe to gather in such close proximity. Looking for other ideas that will draw a crowd. c. Will reach out to GreenTown, GreenWaste, PHWD, Hidden Villa. Hike scheduled at 2pm for GrassRoots Ecology and Farms. They will also sell native plants. Maybe reptiles & amphibians too? Grassroot Ecology will do a hike at 2:00
d. Steve: We have set tables for energy conservation, green house gas reduction in the past –but no traction. With no cats what will be the response. Hike may attract a lot of people
e. Aileen: Acterra demonstration of Induction Cooktops? Sarah will contact them. f. Srini: Demonstrate EVs? JoeS, SteveS... plus a Lucid? And a Rivian? would all be nice to have. What residents have these?
g. Other ideas? Send a note to Sarah at [email protected]

5. Discuss possible ban on gas-powered leaf blowers
a. Steve: Resident Cris Schibold was going to present. (He is now on the town council's agenda for next week.)
b. Aileen: Approved CA bill (AB 1346) will drive Air Resource Board regarding new sales
c. Sasha: Electric leaf blower better than gas; expensive, but works better. d. Action: Wait for results from Cris' presentation to council.

6. Reach codes–Expand, Simplify, Continue, or Electrify: Timeline and Strategy a. Steve: We need to pick our battles; suggested doing the minimum to update our existing Reach code for 2023.
b. Sasha: Maybe require leak testing on gas leak replacement? (He did his own leak test.)

i. Stan: Offer a program to check for leaks?
c. Steve: Leaks at every stage of the gas delivery network. Will take time (staff, EIC, council) to push for tighter controls. Also, Some gas lines are very old and need to be replaced, if we are looking at 2045 as the end of gas use, electrification would be a better solution than replacing them now. . d. Anand: Seems inconsistent to allow gas in brand new homes, when we need to be totally off it by 2045... But doesn't have time to lead the charge. Palo Alto reach code starting 2020, requires new buildings to be fully electric. We can try to do that too in 2023
e. Sasha: For replacing gas powered appliances –not much available for heating spas , but pool heating should be possible
f. Stan: There is very little appetite for cutting off gas right now. g. Approved: Punt until April, when SVCE should have final wording of "model ordinance" options (https://bayareareachcodes.org/).

7. Update on CAP measures,
a. Anand: Good news on all the government actions! Switch to renewable diesel done for townWater district will also switch to renewable diesel; fire district will consider in 2023 when they switch vendors. Town staff are now getting free EV charging! They are running out of spots for recharging–they are looking into adding to the charging capacity. Council priority list includes battery storage, and EV-first green fleet! Congratulations!
b. Steve: feedback on new assessment options. Found some vendors who might do it. Now working on a draft RFP for assessments. Several issues discussed:
i. How to encourage? Assessments will be subsidized by town. Also, once an assessment is completed, associated permit fees could be waived. Finally, if a resident takes action within [one year?], town may provide financial incentives.PA has Clear results doing the assessment.

It is subsidized by PA but they have done very few. BlockPower of Ithaca but they project managers for financing but they do the assessment. Emerald Energy is another one. They can prioritize the electrification projects and give a rough estimate of costs. The reports will be good enough for getting bids without the need for another assessment. City will get a copy which can be used for outreach, we can decide on subsidizing , or waive permit fees and if assessment is followed by action we could offer further subsidies or incentives. ii. All Electric California– in San Francisco is very eager to do this. There are more startups also interested. Steve working on a draft RFP. There is a list of 10 possible candidates..
iii. Who will do the outreach/promotion? The town.
iv. Should we require "independent" assessments from a contractor who does not do the implementation? Yes.
v. Could we make permit data available to the contractor if they want it? No -- according to Sasha it's still all in paper format (not electronic). vi. Sasha: How will we audit/certify the results? Stan suggested town staff could do this. Steve suggested we define required features of the assessment reports.
c. Vrinda: Options for simplifying permitting... maybe part of reach codes? Discuss in April.
d. Sasha: re reducing vehicle miles in town, to reduce particulate emissions.

Related data here and here. Steve and Anand argued that natural gas

emissions (which continue to rise) are more important than transportation emissions (which are declining). No action.

8. Topics of Interest /Open Discussion
a. Steve described this "Mayor's pledge" from Rewiring America. Very much aligned with our new CAP. EIC could recommend George sign it. b. To be agendized for next meeting, for a vote.

9. EIC meeting to be changed to 4th Thursday (added with the revision) a. Anand moved, April seconded, Unanimous support.

10. Next EIC meeting: March 24th at 6:30pm

11. Adjournment at 8:00pm

ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES COMMITTEE
Regular Meeting Minutes
Date: June 23, 2022

1. Attendees:
a. Members: Vrinda, Anand, Steve, MikeS, Pat, Stan
b. Guests: SarahR, Oscar, George Lee, Melissa Elian, Emina Steta, Oscar, Sofia

2. Last meeting's minutes: Anand made a motion to approve, Steve seconded, unanimous approval.

3. Agenda: Anand made motion to approve, Steve seconded, unanimous approval.

4. Community Facilities Needs Assessment Presentation and Motion (Sarah):
a. Vrinda noted that a motion was already made and approved at our last meeting after SteveP left. No action needed.

5. Releasing carbon credits to an EV Charger company
a. Melissa Elian, assistant Engr, introduced George Lee from PowerFlex (and LAH resident and Los Altos based company) b. Started Powerflex in CalTech in S. CA 5-6 years ago-do all things renewable energy- acquired by EDF Renewables in 2019
c. 9,000 EV chargers installed in CA;400 MW in commercial solar 3rd largest commercial solar PV installer; plus big on batteries, a turnkey company. Powerflex works with lots of municipalities, workplaces, nonprofits, and education institutions. Largest provider of large scale charging stations (>30 chargers). Local governments – Palo Alto, Mountain View, San Jose, UCSF, SLAC, Stanford business Park, Fleets.
d. Different types of chargers 7 kW (LAH has 7kW chargers now) 10- 19 kW and three types of DC fast chargers (40 mins. more expensive, require more power at Supermarkets or Libraries).

Townhall can be the starting point, can be at the baseball field, or at the barn
e. Pay by Mobileapp–deposit money and charge
f. MikeS: What's the rough cost per kWh?
George: from free to expensive -- depends on customer.At the schools in Los Altos-free during the day and in the evening it is $0.40/ kWh. For LAH PG&E rate is $0.25/kWh, with solar offset it may be in $0.10/kWh range. Powerflex has been subsidizing the schools for last 3-4 years.
g. Steve: Can they support the town staff for free? George: Yes, based on losaltoshills.gov email address.

h. 90% of customers agree to give PowerFlex the carbon credits in return for free O&M (Chargepoint is about $400/year).
i. For LAH there are two chargers, -expand it to 5 ports at the cost $16-17K. Powerflex offer-will donate the chargers and O&M charges waived for 5 years
j. PowerFlex keeps the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits.

From the CA air board. 1 Carbon Credit is ~1 MWh. Worth about 8 cents per kWh. Price has fluctuated from $80-$200-$80 per carbon credit– very volatile. PF assumes the risks There are a lot of bookkeeping details –expensive for small customers.
k. Win-win solution because, if a power station is not working PF has an incentive to fix. If no carbon credits – no revenue for PF.

Unless the site is busy all day long, it will not break even to cover installation and O&M cost.
l. Melissa: Town staff doesn't have the bandwidth to do LCSF credits themselves. Powerflex has a whole team for this.Town can review the arrangement after the 5 years.
m. Anand: Confirmed that Powerflex funded the full cost of products and maintenance, while the town pays for installation. ( same agreement with Mountain View, and Palo Alto (3 years)
n. Steve: Will this affect our GHG inventory in any way? George is not sure. Probably not. If people pay for the charge, PF will reimburse the city for the whole amount.
o. George suggests 30 chargers... Oscar says the panel can't support it yet (only 5-level 2-25-30 miles per hour) and Melissa added that there will be ADA requirements
p. Oscar: the purchase cost of Chargepoint more that Powerflex.

The installation costs are similar.
q. Request: Motion: Recommend supporting a town agreement with Powerflex to provide free chargers and maintenance for 5 years in exchange for use of carbon credits.
r. Steve moved, MikeS seconded, unanimous approval.

6. EIC recommendations for Telecom carriers that have current leases in Town, who want to install back-up generators– Cody Einfalt will introduce the topic (absent).
a. Anand suggests that AT&T should pay for batteries instead of generators
b. Postponed until next meeting.

7. Recommend to City Council acceptance of CSG's 6/10/22 proposal to complete 7 new GHG inventories (not to exceed $17,232). a. Anand made the motion to approve, Steve seconded,
unanimous approval.

8. Discuss possible permit fee changes to encourage electrification for CAP goals.
a. Sofia proposed flat line item credit ($200?) and a max of 50 incentives over a year.
b. Anand: Will the homeowner get the money or the contractor? Sofia: could be either.
c. Oscar: Maybe $100-$250 per electrified device, sent directly to homeowner.... Need to set a budget , maybe a limit of 50/year? d. Anand: Maybe BayREN could administer this? Sofia to check.

e. MikeS: When he installed his HPWH he got $3-5k in incentives from other places... would an extra $100 be too little? Contractors will need to know about the rebates from LAH.
f. Sofia check whether the town has the capacity to write the checks,will do a bit more research, check with Finance about how to set up the rebates and track it. LAH is going to have a dedicated web page for electrification–will include a check list of permits and rebate available –permit streamlining, does not change the financial aspect of pulling a permit.
g. Anand : Can BayREN run the program with money from LAH? h. Steve: We have about $15,000 for incentives in the budget for next year. We need a resolution from EIC for budget
augmentation. Then we can decide at our next meeting. In August CC agenda is crowded but the resolution can be considered at the September City Council Meeting.
i. New subcommittee for Permit rebates: Sasha, Anand, MikeS

9. Update on Climate Action Plan Implementation
a. Town got four proposals -- 2 disqualified
b. Of the remaining 2,
one on the east coast. They have done virtual assessments for a while –send a kit consisting of a cell phone, loaded with apps, tape measure and infrared gun etc.,then have a interactie conversation with the consultant. Once done no further
contractors need to visit the house.Agreed to $350 per audit from town to the contractors for approved audits, paid monthly. Covers all of a virtual audit; for residents that prefer in person audits, they would have to pay the difference (~$250), probably directly to the contractor. We will discuss this with the contractors.

Second proposal was quite similar., from SF firm, provide a virtual and onsite audit.
c. Questions: Should we approve 1 or 2? Agreement to approve both.
d. Discussion about incentive to contractors... agreement that this is a good thing. Not sure how to administer. To be discussed with contractors. We have to have an agreement and should be in the minutes. Then Stan will take it to CC–won’t happen until September
e. Pat: Would want to have an onsite visit -- didn't feel comfortable with the "kit" idea.
f. MikeS: Learned a ton by walking around with an onsite assessor; lots of benefit to this, IF the onsite person is experienced with electrification issues.
g. Vrinda: The SF guys will be able to walk around, but the Massachusetts company doesn't have local resources.

The motion is to approve a list of qualified vendors. These two vendors will be on that list . We recommend the city agree to pay a total amount of $11,100 for the assessments.

Sofia to figure out the method of payment of $350 per

assessment.

MikeS made a motion to approve, Steve seconded,
unanimous approval.
