5 Shoreline Levee (Sea Level Rise)
• The Valley Water South San Francisco Bay Shoreline Levee Project is a comprehensive flood protection, habitat restoration, and climate adaptation initiative designed to address the long-term risks of sea level rise and flooding in Santa Clara County. Our partnership focuses on North San José, including the Alviso neighborhood and the Regional Wastewater Facility lands.
• In October, the City convened an in-person working group Valley, the California State Coastal Conservancy, and the City of Santa Clara to outline key deal points for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) related to the Shoreline Levee Project.
• Over the remainder of this past quarter, Valley Water and City of San Jose staff developed a 30% draft of the MOU. The MOU is based on the fully executed Shoreline Levee Letter of Intent between the City of San Jose, City of Santa Clara, and Valley Water.
• Goal for Q3: 70% draft of MOU and executed land use agreement for soil stockpiling.

Airport Asset Preservation Plan • Plan will ensure the long-term functionality, safety, and efficiency of Mineta San José International Airport (SJC) by strategically maintaining, improving, and modernizing its infrastructure
• The Airport engaged a consultant to develop an Airport Asset Preservation Plan, their work included: • interviewing key personnel at San Jose International Airport (SJC) to evaluate asset conditions, ongoing and planned projects, and the current infrastructure status. • Reviewing documents and data to analyze the
infrastructure systems of Terminals A and B.
• A visual facility condition assessment of both Terminals. • Preparing a draft "Findings Report" to the City, detailing the current state of the terminal infrastructure and
proposing a rough order of magnitude (ROM) level
capital investment plan
• Preparing a comprehensive final investment plan.
7 Citywide Building Electrification • Buildings account for 31 percent of San José’s greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from natural gas
usage. Gas water heaters and HVAC systems are
responsible for over 90% of natural gas usage in
residential homes, so replacing these systems will
significantly impact home emissions reductions.
• Switching to electric appliances also improves indoor air quality since natural gas appliances can release
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and other harmful
pollutants into the air.
• San José Clean Energy launched a program for
residential customers incentivizing the installation of heat pumps for water and space heating called
EcoHome Rebate and marketed it to Electric Homes
San José waitlist customers.
• Staff also introduced the SJCE On-bill Financing Pilot (EcoHome Payment Plan) to help offset the cost of
electric home upgrades.
