STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: The City of Vista’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) was first adopted in 2012 and updated in 2021. The CAP provides a comprehensive roadmap to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and address the challenge of climate change in the city. In general, a CAP is a long-range plan that outlines specific strategies to reduce GHG emissions. The City of Vista's CAP sets a baseline for past and current GHG emissions, includes forecasts of future emissions, and establishes targets to help California and community reduce future emissions. In the long term, the CAP will also help achieve multiple community goals such as lowering energy costs, reducing air pollution, supporting local economic development, and improving public health and quality of life.

MEETING DATE: October 5, 2023 PAGE 3
SUBJECT: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN UPDATE
CAP Projects – Strategy 1:
T-1 Transition to a Clean and More Fuel-Efficient Municipal Vehicle Fleet - The goal is to replace 47 vehicles to EV or PHEV by 2030.
This year, the City has purchased a total of 4 electric vehicles (EVs), as part of its fleet. This is in addition to 2 hybrid vehicles that are currently part of the City’s fleet. EVs will continue to be a priority as the City begins to replace its vehicles.
T-2 Increase EV Charging Stations at Public Facilities – The goal is to install Level 2 or better EV charging stations at city-owned facilities (e.g., downtown public parking areas and Civic Center) available for public use.
Capital Improvement Project (CIP) No. 8902 EV Charging Stations Project:
Utilizing approximately $2M from the American Rescue Plan Act, and $1.4M from state funding, the City anticipates installing 65 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations on City-owned property throughout the City.
The EV charging stations will be available for City fleet and general public use. The project will result in a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with the City's Climate Action Plan. The project includes site analysis and planning, all design and permitting, all construction costs related to the project (i.e., materials, labor, contingency, etc.) and maintenance of the equipment, as applicable. Electric vehicle charging stations have been preliminarily planned for Civic Center, Public Works Yard, Wave Water Park, Brengle Terrace Park, Sports Park, Luz Duran Park, Shadowridge Park, Fire Station No.3 and 5, Breeze Hill Park, Bub Williamson Park, and the public parking lot downtown where two existing stations are located.
Currently, our consultant, NV5, is assisting with electrical design for SDG&E service upgrades and will be pursuing the customer-owned infrastructure and chargers option, which have a potential 12-18 month lead time. Staff have walked the sites, along with the consultant to confirm locations. Accessibility improvements are required at each site. Additionally, the project will be design-build and a long-term maintenance contract will be required. The table below includes proposed locations and charging stall quantities:

SUBJECT: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN UPDATE
CAP Projects – Strategy 4:
E-1 Implement Energy Efficient Projects in Municipal Facilities - The goal is to implement energy efficiency projects (i.e., interior and exterior lighting retrofits and HVAC system adjustments) identified in the 2018 energy audit conducted for the city’s Civic Center, Public Works Department, Wave Water Park, Fire Stations, and Recreation Center.
Street Lighting Assessment Project:
On September 28, 2021, the City Council directed staff to research a consultant for a Citywide lighting assessment, and on July 19, 2022, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for lighting assessment services. The RFP solicited qualified consultants to submit proposals for the lighting assessment project.
The City is currently undertaking this street lighting assessment as part of its ongoing commitment to enhancing public safety. The assessment encompasses an in-depth review of the City's current inventory of approximately 4,200 streetlights scattered throughout the city. The City owns and maintains about 3,650 streetlights, while San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG& E) owns and maintains about 550 streetlights. As of writing this report, approximately 140 locations in Vista have been identified for installing new streetlights or upgrading existing fixtures on current poles with fixtures being energy efficient/LED. These enhancements aim to address areas where better lighting might deter criminal activity, reduce accidents, and generally improve nighttime visibility for residents. Previous input from residents, City Council, and City staff regarding improved street lighting has produced an initial assessment addressing improvements in four areas of Vista.
Three phases of the project have been completed, phase 4 is in process. Staff requested additional feedback and input from Councilmembers, staff, and residents as part of phase 4 with a deadline of September 30, 2023, which has been provided to the consultant. Once this is completed, the next phase of the project includes community outreach to the neighborhoods where new lighting is proposed, followed by final plans and specifications to be used in a bid package for selection of a construction contractor. Exhibit 2 includes assessment maps for your reference; Exhibit 3 includes the maps with City district overlays.
CAP Projects – Strategy 5:
E-2 Continue PV Installation at Municipal Facilities – The goal is Complete PV installation at the Public Works Yard carports and identify additional PV installation opportunities at other city facilities. 10/05/2023 D1 4 of 18
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2023 PAGE 5
SUBJECT: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN UPDATE
CIP No. 8334 Civic Center Solar Project:
Over the past decade, the City has taken several steps to begin addressing climate change and achieve reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, both in the City’s operations as well as the broader community. In the 2022-2023 California state budget, discretionary funding of $3,500,000 for the City was included for the purpose of installing solar panels at the Civic Center. The Civic Center Solar Project will help the City accomplish its greenhouse gas reduction goals for the Civic Center complex. The design phase of the project will address:
• Connecting the City's solar generation system to the electric grid; and • Determining the type and optimal location for solar panels.
City Council awarded a contract for as-needed construction management services to Biglione Construction Management on March 8, 2022. The next step in the process was to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to engage a consultant with commercial solar expertise to assist staff in exploring options to achieve the best solar project for the City. A contract was awarded to a Design-Build Team, Baker Electric, on August 22, 2023, and the design is underway. It is anticipated that the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) will go to the City Council for approval in March 2024, and the project will be completed by October 2024.
E-3 Join a Program to Increase Grid-Supply Renewable and Zero-Carbon Electricity – The goal is to join a program to increase grid-supply renewable and zero-carbon electricity beyond the RPS mandate for 2030.
Clean Energy Alliance:
On June 28, 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the execution of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for membership in the Clean Energy Alliance (CEA), a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) Joint Powers Authority, and allowing Mayor’s appointment of a member and alternate member to the Board of Directors of CEA; and introduced and adopted an ordinance obtaining the City Council’s decision, pursuant to Public Utilities Code section 366.2 (c)(12), to implement a CCA Program within the jurisdiction of the City of Vista by participating in CEA, under the terms and conditions provided in the Joint Powers Agreement.
The CCA programs offer alternative electric power options to residents and businesses currently served by investor-owned utilities. Under a CCA model, the jurisdiction purchases and manages the community’s electric power supply by sourcing power from a preferred mix of traditional and renewable power generation sources, while the investor-owned utility continues to provide distribution and billing services.
As a member of CEA, the City Council must determine a default power supply that customers enroll in.
While customers are enrolled in the default supply selected by City Council, individual customers may elect an alternative power supply product by contacting CEA at their call center or on the CEA website.
The City Council will have three power supply options to choose from as a default product for customers in the City. Current CEA members, the cities of Escondido, Carlsbad, Del Mar, San Marcos, and Solana Beach, have selected the 50 percent renewable and 75 percent carbon free energy content option. The City of Oceanside will consider their power supply options in November.
The CEA power supply options are as follows:
1. Clean Impact - 50 percent renewable energy content
Clean Impact is CEA’s minimum 50 percent renewable energy option, increasing to achieve 100 percent renewable energy by 2035. This option will have the minimum amount of renewable energy that the City may select as the default product offering for its community and is the lowest cost.
Options for Customers: If Clean Impact is selected by the City Council as the default for Vista, City customers will still have the option to opt up to Clean Impact Plus or Green Impact power supply.

MEETING DATE: October 5, 2023 PAGE 6
SUBJECT: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN UPDATE
2. Clean Impact Plus - 50 percent renewable and 75 percent carbon free energy content Clean Impact Plus is sourced from a power supply mix of 50 percent renewable and 75 percent carbon-free energy. The rate difference for increased costs of 75 percent carbon free product is $0.001/kWh (or an average $.40 per month) which is paid in addition to Clean Impact rate.
Options for Customers: If Clean Impact Plus is selected by the City Council as the default for Vista, City customers will still have the option to opt down to Clean Impact or opt up to Green Impact power supply.
3. Green Impact - 100 percent renewable energy content
CEA also offers the option of 100 percent renewable energy power supply. The Green Impact power supply product has a premium rate of $.0075/kWh (or an average $2.35 per month) due to the additional expense of procuring power with additional renewable energy.
Options for Customers: If Green Impact is selected by the City Council as the default for Vista, City customers will still have the option to opt down to Clean Impact or Clean Impact Plus power supply.
Renewable energy is classified as energy that is produced from naturally replenishing sources that produces zero emissions. These sources includes solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, biowaste, and eligible (small) hydroelectric sources. Carbon free energy is produced from sources that are not renewable, however they do not produce carbon emissions. These include nuclear or large hydroelectric energy sources.
The charts on the following page compare typical total energy bills for residential customers (Table 1) and small commercial customers (Table 2) based on current CEA and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) rates.
The rates and fees in these tables have been annualized and thus reflect the average of differing summer and winter costs for energy supplies. The sample rates and fees do not reflect any changes that the CEA Board of Directors may make when it considers rate adjustments at its regular meeting in 2024.
Additionally, SDG&E rates are scheduled to change in January 2024 and it is anticipated that the utility will announce those rates at the end of this year.
As illustrated by the data in the Table 1, based on 2023 data, a typical residential customer would save 0.92 percent with the 50 percent renewable option, 0.70 percent with the 75 percent carbon free option, and pay a premium of 0.74 percent with the 100 percent renewable option, compared to the cost of purchase and delivery of energy from SDG&E.
Table 1:

MEETING DATE: October 5, 2023 PAGE 7
SUBJECT: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN UPDATE
As illustrated by the data in the Table 2, based on 2023 data, a typical small commercial business customer would save 0.84 percent with the 50 percent renewable option, 0.60 percent with the 75 percent carbon free option, and pay a premium of 0.94 percent with the 100 percent renewable option, compared to the cost of purchase and delivery of energy from SDG&E.
Table 2:
Tables 1 and 2 also include Exit Fees or Power Charge Indifference Adjustments (PCIA). These are fees charged by SDG&E to customers enrolled with CEA or any other CCA provider. These fees cover losses incurred by SDG&E for ending energy supply contracts for customers that move to another provider. In developing CEA’s rates, the PCIA fees are accounted for when comparing typical monthly electric utility costs between CEA and SDG&E. The PCIA is not a new fee but is broken out separately on the bill for CEA customers.
The PCIA fee is charged to customers as a charge per kilowatt hour (kWh) consumed and is based on when the customer leaves SDG&E’s generation service. The exit fee is set annually through SDG&E’s Energy Resource Recovery Account rate-setting process, so agencies that join CEA at different times will have different PCIA rates. In other words, the original CEA member cities (i.e., Escondido, Carlsbad, Del Mar, Solana Beach, and San Marcos) have different PCIA calculations, or “vintages,” than cities that joined CEA later (e.g., Oceanside and Vista).
The CEA expects that SDG&E rates will change in January 2024 as noted previously. CEA will continue to participate in SDG&E’s rate-setting process to ensure rates that are charged to its customers are correct and do not put its customers at a disadvantage compared to non-CEA customers.
This item will return to City Council in November for formal adoption of a resolution selecting a CEA default energy supply option, in alignment with the City of Oceanside’s selection and adoption.

Hi Kathy,
Initial set of climate goals for tonights discussion.
Best,
Joe
Climate Workshop 10/5/23
Possible specific and measurable goals with target
completion dates:
1. Set a net zero goal. Review the City’s scope 3 emissions as described in SB253.
a. Set a policy to deposit the city’s cash and
investments in net zero institutions (or institutions
with net zero commitments)
b. Seek net zero suppliers
2. Work with other governments in the county to open a
Public Bank. Earnings from placing cash in the Public
Bank should be applied to ecological and equity-
focused projects.
3. Deploy microgrids at all city buildings and parking lots.
Poway announced saving $33M using a PPA. Vista
should seek max realistic savings.
4. Partner with VUSD to set up school buildings as
community resilience centers. These will surely be
needed during upcoming heatwaves, fires, or other
emergencies. Many, especially poor and elderly, don’t
have AC.
5. Plant mini-forests around the city for cooling, CO²
sequestration, and increased biodiversity. Include plants for pollinators and milkweed for monarchs.
6. Prepare a city-wide tree plan. Apply for a tree grant from the County’s $30M fund and more
7. Define REACH codes to electrify buildings and retrofits.
Set pathways to retrofit existing building stock
8. Strengthen single use plastic bans. Enforce the current ban. Ban artificial grass.
9. Stop using harmful pesticides and harmful chemicals.
10. Prepare a zero waste plan.
11. Set water targets like reducing cosmetic lawn
watering and placing swales to capture rain, improve
groundwater storage, and reduce runoff into the ocean.
12. Monitor and report air quality.
13. Reduce VMT. Expand public transit.
14. Increase mixed-use neighborhoods and work

What is Community “Environmental Dashboard” (ED) Technology? (How Can it Foster and Empower Community Engagement,
Sustainability and Climate Resilience?)
Our modern lifestyles have caused most humans to lose connection with the natural world. We are insulated from the consequences of our actions and may not even be aware of how these actions affect the environment.
How can we tap into the feedback mechanisms that served us in the past in today’s modern world to foster and empower community engagement, sustainability, and climate resilience?
In this talk, we will learn about “Environmental Dashboard” (ED) technology, which is now implemented in several organizations and communities. This exciting technology reconnects people with the natural world by making flows of resources visible and promoting sustainable thought and action. Extensive research demonstrates that exposure to ED content significantly enhances systems thinking and pro-environmental and pro-community social norms and behaviors.
Each installation comprises:
1) “Building Dashboard,” which dynamically displays real-time resource consumption in individual buildings to promote resource conservation. 2) “Citywide Dashboard,” which animates whole-community resource flows and environmental conditions.
3) “Community Voices,” which combines images and text to celebrate thought and action that advance social, ecological, and economic dimensions of sustainability. Interactive stories combine content to tell the story of community sustainability and resilience.
How might we expand dashboard digital signage throughout organizations and cities to promote a more unified effort to take climate action and encourage pro-environmental and pro-community behaviors?
There will be time for questions from the audience.

invites you to join our monthly networking event!
What is on your mind?
This gathering is open to individuals and groups who are concerned about climate change. We also welcome those who are looking to learn more about climate change and for opportunities to become more involved. The format is a casual round robin discussion. Participants have the chance to share what they (or the groups they belong to) are doing and any upcoming events or announcements. You are not required to share anything, listening and taking in what others have to say is fine too.
Please contact Elizabeth Mosley with any questions.
Her email is [email protected]

To: Vista City Council Members:
I am Ann Force, a resident of District 2 in Vista. Thank you so much for this comprehensive list of accomplishments in moving towards the Climate Action Plan goals since the last revision in 2021.
I support applying for a grant from the EPA to upgrade the existing Climate Action Plan to add measurable goals for:
1. Community education regularly scheduled to address waste disposal do's and don'ts, and reporting back to the public on EDCO's measurable data.
2.Waste-water sequestration/recycling and rebuilding aquifers;
3.Using native plants (not just drought-tolerant plants) to support local native fauna
4.Community gardens - increasing the number of community gardens will impact our "Healthy Vista" education goals, and especially food resiliency.
5.Including in the CEA section a goal towards identifying and monitoring "micro- grids" throughout the city. Transmitting even clean energy over long distances can be avoided.
I also support a community education grant towards planning an "Environmental Dashboard" for Vista. Access points thoughout our city will increase public awareness, increase feedback and ideas from residents, and increase active enthusiasm for climate action goals. The material on the website is interactive, giving and receiving information. Real Vista residents model participation in activities that help meet our climate action goals. According to Professor John E. Peterson of "Community Hub,"
"Psychology and marketing research teaches us that perceptions of what other community members
are doing are among the most powerful factors motivating individual decision- making." (Environmental Dashboard Proposal to City of Oberlin SRF v4.pdf - Google Drive)
Thank you for your service.
