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 challenges 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 the community reduce future emissions. In the long term, the CAP will also help achieve multiple community goals such as improving air quality, enhancing safety, reducing heat island effect, and improving public health and the quality of life.
The CAP identifies 7 strategies and 13 measures to help the City reach its GHG reduction goals:

Earlier this year, staff had created an implementation monitoring report for the Climate Action Campaign (Exhibit 2). The breakdown of CAP measure progress in the monitoring report has been updated with the most current information detailed below. Staff will update the monitoring report after this workshop, incorporating Councils' direction, and then publish the report on the City's website for public access. 10/03/2024 D 1 Page 2 of 145
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 3, 2024 PAGE 3
SUBJECT: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE
At the last CAP Update Workshop on October 5 2023, Council asked staff for a full update on every CAP measure, and the information presented below includes data collected from 2020 to the current date.
While the CAP was updated in 2021, all data projections and measures were established from 2019 data, therefore, including 2020 in the progress and success of the measures is appropriate for data collection and reporting.
Lastly, the City has not received a completed and up to date GHG Inventory from SANDAG since 2019 which reported on data from 2016 (Exhibit 3). The GHG Inventory that SANDAG provided to the City in 2023 (Exhibit 4) was incomplete due to the impacts of COVID-19 on SANDAG's modeling system, but did include some updates with 2021 data. SANDAG has informed local jurisdictions who rely on this reporting to track the progress/effectiveness of the CAP measures that they will not be providing these GHG inventories any longer. However, staff will ensure that an updated GHG inventory is included in the next CAP update.
Strategy 1 — Increase Use of Zero-Emission/Alternative Fuel Vehicles Measure T-1: Transition to a Clean and More Fuel -Efficient Municipal Vehicle Fleet • Goal: Replace 47 vehicles to EV or PHEV by 2030
• Description from CAP:
o Replace non-public safety vehicles (e.g., passenger cars and light -duty gasoline trucks) that are scheduled for replacement with electric or alternative fuel vehicles, including EVs and PHEVs.
Background:
o The City currently has 130 total vehicles in its fleet. Of those, 87 are considered non-public safety vehicles and 20 of them are considered passenger cars. Per the EPA, a light duty gasoline truck or vehicle is a vehicle that weighs less than 10,000 lbs. Out of the 67 other non-public safety vehicles, 43 of them could be considered a light -duty vehicle; however, since they have additional equipment installed on them, they are categorized as a midsize to heavy duty vehicle. When these vehicles are over 10,000 lbs., they are no longer considered a light duty vehicle and, therefore, replacing them would not help the City reach this goal.
Since 2020, the City has been able to replace 4 of our fleet passenger vehicles with EV's.
Every vehicle in the City's fleet has an approximate seven-year replacement schedule with a budget tied to that scheduled replacement. However, the City's normal practice is to keep vehicles longer than seven years if they are in good working condition and have low milage.
In the next coming fiscal year, one vehicle is in the class and scheduled to be transitioned to an EV or Plug In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) .
Progress on this measure has been difficult due the availability of adequate replacements for our current fleet needs from vehicle manufacturers, and the cost and availability of passenger EV and PHEVs. In addition, with only one level 2 charger at the Civic Center and one level 2 charger at the Public Works yard, each of which can only charge two vehicles, the City does not currently have the infrastructure in place to transition all of their vehicles to EV or PHEV. With the citywide EV charging project (see Measure T-2 below), an additional eight level two dual port chargers will be installed at the Public Works yard exclusively for the City's fleet use.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) Advanced Clean Fleets regulation that was adopted in April 2023 applies to many different fleets, including those that are owned by 10/03/2024 D 1 Page 3 of 145

local government. This regulation requires fleet operators to transition all of their non-public safety fleet, including heavy duty and specialty vehicles, to 100% Zero Emission Vehicles no later than 2045. It should be noted that any PHEV purchased to reach the CAP goal, is not in line with this regulation because the requirement is for zero emissions and PHEV's still have emissions.
• Goal Status-
o In Progress
Next Steps:
o Achieving this target will depend on advancements in electric vehicle technology and more affordable pricing, making the transition to an EV fleet more practical and feasible. Our Fleet team has been working with other cities and attending workshops hosted by the California Air Resources Board to come up with solutions to not only meet our CAP goal but also the state mandate of having 100% of our fleet to be zero emissions by 2045. Staff is prepared to follow the Milestones option from CARB which commits the City to phasing in Zero Emission Vehicles into the fleet between 2025 and 2042 depending on the type of vehicle and usage, as provided below.
Percentage of vehicles that must be ZEVs
Milestone Group 1: Box trucks, vans, buses with two axles, yard tractors, light -duty package delivery vehicles
Milestone Group 2: Work trucks, day cab tractors, pickup trucks, buses with three axles
Milestone Group 3: Sleeper cab tractors and specialty vehicles 100lo 25% 50% 75% 100%

Staff will continue to search for any grant or funding opportunities that help local governments transition their fleet to EV's or installing more EV charging stations to support a full electric fleet.
Measure T-2: Increase Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at Public Facilities • Goal: Install 20 public EV charging stations by 2030
• Description from CAP:
o 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.
Background:
o Currently the City has one level two charger at public works, one level two charger at the Civic Center, and two level two chargers at the public parking lot on the corner of E.
Broadway and Citrus. Each of these chargers can charge two cars at once, however, they charge a car at roughly 25 miles per hour rate. Additionally, the chargers available for public use are the chargers located at the noted public parking. 10/03/2024 D 1 Page 4 of 145
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 3, 2024
PAGE 5
SUBJECT: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE
Staff are actively working on CIP project #8902, which plans to increase the number of EV charging stations at public facilities across the city. This project's Request for Proposals (RFP) for the design build phase was approved by council in June 2024, and it plans to install 90 EV chargers at various public locations. The current proposed plan is to install 14 level three direct current fast chargers, which will charge a car at a roughly 200 miles per hour rate, and 76 level two chargers, which will charge a car at a roughly 28 miles per hour rate. The 12 public facility sites that have been identified for this project are Civic Center, Public Works, Fire Stations 5 & 6, Wave Waterpark, Brengle Terrace Park, the Broadway & Citrus Parking Lot, Sports Park, Breeze Hill Park, Luz Duran Park, Bub Williamson Park, and Shadowridge Park. For locations that already have chargers, the chargers from this plan will replace/upgrade the current chargers as part of the total 90 installations. The project is expected to be completed by 2026 and is currently at a 30% design, and the City's contractors are working with SDG&E on new service applications for seven of the sites.
• Goal Status:
o In Progress - Goal will be met and/or surpassed by 2030.
Next Steps:
o Staff will continue to keep council updated on progress with CIP #8902 as we move forward with the project. Staff is also currently working on additional grants to supplement funding for the project.
Measure T-3: Require Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at New Multi -Family and Commercial Developments
• Goal: Install 188 new EV charging stations at new multi -family developments by 2030 and Install 108 new EV charging stations at new commercial developments by 2030. • Description from CAP:
o Require that three percent of total parking spaces required in new multi -family projects have EV charging stations, and six percent of total parking spaces required in new commercial projects have EV charging stations, starting in 2021.
Background:
o The City does not currently have any requirements that exceed the State's requirements for EV charging at new developments. The CALGreen requirements that came into effect July 2024 for EV chargers at new multifamily, hotels and motels is that 40% of their parking spaces need to have access to low power level 2 receptacles (where the user provides their own external charging cable), and 10 percent of their parking spaces have level 2 electric vehicle supply equipment or charging station. For non-residential or commercial new developments CALGreen requires anywhere from 0 percent to 25 percent of the parking spaces are either EV Capable (wired for a charger) or EV Ready (with charging equipment) depending on the size of the development. There are also other requirements that specify that certain nonresidential building types like grocery, retail, warehouse, manufacturing, or office need to have at least one EV Charger and a minimum number of high output level 2 chargers.
The current process for tracking the number of EV chargers that are installed at private developments is triggered when a developer or property owner pulls a permit through the Community Development department; however, there is no differentiation between new or existing developments. Based off permits that have been issued since 2020 for either EV 10/03/2024 D 1 Page 5 of 145

SUBJECT: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE
chargers or Solar Installation with EV chargers, there have been at total of 143 chargers installed at private developments, either new or existing. Of the 143 chargers, 63 were installed in commercial developments, 64 were installed in residential developments, and 16 were installed in multifamily developments.
• Goal Status'
o In Progress
• Next Steps:
o This goal is directly related to the volume of new developments and while progress is ongoing, the number of new developments will influence the ability to meet the 2030 goal.
Staff is currently monitoring state code regulations.
Strategy 2 — Reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled
Measure T-4: Participate in the San Diego Association of Government's iCommute Vanpool Program • Goal: Maintain a minimum of 18 SANDAG vanpools annually that start or end in the city. • Description from CAP:
o Promote and encourage participation in SANDAG's iCommute Vanpool Program by businesses in the city.
Background:
o SANDAG's iCommute program has been rebranded to SANDAG's Sustainable Transportation Services, and they still offer a Vanpool program through commute with Enterprise or Green Commuter. Through this program, SANDAG offers businesses a monthly subsidy of $500 to $600 to run a carpooling commuter van to and from their businesses. This allows for businesses to offer an alternative commuting benefit to their employees while also promoting carpooling. Currently there are 13 vanpools that are either starting or ending in Vista, which are either run by Commute with Enterprise or Green Commuter and can be subsidized by SANDAG.
Staff have advertised the program to Vista businesses through the Economic Development Newsletter and have started to evaluate internally with our Human Resources department and Commute with Enterprise to provide this benefit to City employees. • Goal Status:
o In Progress - Likely that goal will be met by 2030 deadline. • Next Steps:
o The next steps are to continue to promote this program with SANDAG Sustainable Commutes and the Economic Development team. In addition, to implement one or two vanpools that are for City employee benefit.
Measure T-5: Implement the City's Bicycle Master Plan
• Goal: Install an additional 12 miles of two-way bicycle lanes (Class II or better) by 2030. 10/03/2024 D 1 Page 6 of 145
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 3, 2024
PAGE 7
SUBJECT: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE
• Description from CAP:
o Implement projects identified in the City's Bicycle Master Plan, including adding new bicycle lanes and improving existing bicycle lanes. Support the SANDAG Regional Bicycle Plan Inland Rail Trail segment that is within the City's boundary.
Background:
o The Bicycle master plan was developed and published in 2014 and created a Citywide Bicycle Network with a prioritization list of projects. These projects involved implementing new or improving current bicycle infrastructure, and were prioritized based on criteria related to demand, safety, and feasibility of implementation. Adding bicycle lanes requires additional traffic studies and can require restriping or road widening to allow for enough space to add a fully separated bike lane. The City has added separated bike lanes on North Avenue/W Los Angeles Drive/Townsite Drive from East Drive to E. Vista Way as a part of the Townsite Complete Streets Project. This project added 2.2 miles of bike lanes and is anticipated to be completed by the end of the year.
Additionally, staff have been working on improving the safety of the current infrastructure by implementing green bicycle lanes (Exhibit 5). Since 2020, the City has implemented green paint along both sides of the 7-mile stretch of Melrose within City limits, the 2.5 miles for Vista Village Drive/East Vista Way from the 78 to Taylor Street, and the 1.3-mile stretch of N. Santa Fe from Vista Village Drive to Bobier Drive.
• Goal Status:
o In Progress
Next Steps:
o The City plans to continue adding the green paint to existing bike lanes along W. Vista Way, Olive Avenue, W. Bobier Drive, S. Santa Fe Avenue from Civic Center Drive to the City border, on Business Park Drive from Sycamore to Poinsettia, and on Live Oak, Lupine Hills and Shadowridge Drive (please reference Exhibit 6). This will add an approximate 20 additional miles of green bike lane infrastructure, totaling about 30 miles throughout the City.
Staff are also working on implementing protected bike lanes on the City's major roads in the next few months. These protected bike lanes will be implemented where Class II bike lanes already exist on major roads and do not add new bike facilities where they did not previously exist. Staff recently submitted a grant application to carry out a comprehensive update to the current bicycle master plan.
Lastly, the next section of SANDAG's Inland Rail Trail that extends from Mar Vista Drive to Civic Center Drive has started construction as is expected to be complete by 2027. Once this one -mile section is complete, SANDAG is scheduled to begin construction on the final two-mile section within Vista from Civic Center Drive to North Avenue (Exhibit 7).
Measure T-6: Increase Densitv and Mixed -Use Development • Goal: Complete the Vista Palomar and Vista Melrose 47 projects • Description from CAP:
o Increase density and destination accessibility in the Opportunity Areas identified in the General Plan and the SANDAG Smart Growth Areas.

SUBJECT: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE
Background:
o Both the Vista Palomar and Vista Melrose 47 projects have been completed. The Vista Melrose 47 project is a 47-unit condominium development at 1630 S. Melrose Drive that has open space amenities, landscaping, and associated improvements. This development amended the General Plan to change the land use designation from Rural Residential and Commercial to Mixed Use. The Vista Palomar project is a 100-room hotel and 191 condominium unit development at 2100 W. San Marcos Boulevard that has open space amenities, landscaping, and associated improvements. This development amended the General Plan to change the land use designation from Research Light Industrial to Mixed Use.
• Goal Status:
o Complete - Goal is met and could be surpassed by 2030. • Next Steps:
o The current General Plan Update for 2050 focuses on increasing mixed use and density within the City's core areas. This will help boost this measure within the CAP by making it easier for developers to add higher density developments to areas with greater access to public transit and amenities.
Strategy 3 — Reduce Fossil Fuel Use
Measure T-7: Require Electric -Powered or Alternative Fueled Construction Equipment • Goal: Require that 30% of construction equipment in new development projects be electric - powered or alternatively fueled
• Description from CAP:
o Require the use of alternative fuel or electric -powered construction equipment in new development projects.
Background:
Currently, the city does not have an ordinance or requirement for developers to use a certain percentage of electric or alternatively fueled construction equipment for any kind of development. In addition, the City does not have any policy on how to enforce the use of specific equipment onsite. Staff is unaware of any state regulations or requirements for developers to use specific equipment, or of any other local jurisdictions that currently have regulations on alternatively fueled construction equipment. However, the City is already implementing this goal to the Maximum Extent Practicable by including a "Standard Environmental Conditions" section in their Conditions of Approval language for discretionary projects, which reads as follows:
"The following actions shall be implemented throughout construction to minimize emission of 03 precursors (NOx and VOCs):
a) Turn off all diesel -powered vehicles and gasoline -powered equipment when not in use for more than five minutes.
b) Use electric or natural gas -powered construction equipment in lieu of gasoline or diesel -powered engines, where feasible.
c) Require 10% of construction fleet use any combination of diesel catalytic converters, diesel oxidation catalysts, diesel particulate filters, and /or GARB -certified Tier III equipment or better.
d) Support and encourage ridesharing and transit incentives for the construction crew." 10/03/2024 D 1 Page 8 of 145
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 3, 2024

SUBJECT: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE
• Goal Status-
o In Progress/Not Feasible
• Next Steps:
o Achieving this goal will depend on future advancements in electrical construction equipment, state law, and local initiatives. Staff will continue to monitor state laws and regulations as well as what other cities are doing to decrease emissions in off -road transportation.
Strategy 4 — Increase Building Energy Efficiency
Measure E-1: Implement Energy Efficient Projects in Municipal Facilities • Goal: Complete energy efficiency projects identified in the 2018 energy audit that will reduce municipal facility energy use by 1 million kWh by 2030. • Description from CAP:
o Implement energy efficiency projects (i.e., interior and exterior lighting retrofits and HVAC system adjustments) identified in the 2018 energy audit conducted for the Civic Center, Public Works Department, Wave Water Park, Fire Stations, and Recreation Center.
Background:
o The 2018 energy audit (Exhibit 8) called for nine lighting and mechanical energy efficiency projects at Public Works, the Civic Center and the Wave Waterpark. These projects include:
1. Replace and retrofit exterior fixtures with new LED fixtures and retrofit kits
2. Replace and retrofit interior fluorescent troffers with new LED fixtures and LED retrofit kits
3. Replace and retrofit recessed can CFLs with recessed can LED retrofit kits
4. Upgrade fluorescent MR16 lamps to LED MR16 lamps

Strategy 5 — Increase Renewable and Zero -Carbon Energy Measure E-2: Continue Photovoltaic Installation at Municipal Facilities • Goal: Install 400 kW new behind -the -meter PV at city facilities by 2030. • Description from CAP:
o Complete photovoltaic (PV) installation at the Public Works Yard carports and identify additional PV Installation Opportunities at other city facilities.
Background:
o The PV installation at Public Works has been completed, which included solar panels added to the two carports as well as on the roof of the new administrative building. Staff has not currently documented the energy production from this project but are currently working with the contractor to obtain the energy conservation data. In addition to this project, there are currently solar panels at the Senior Center, which were installed in 2010, and have produced 697.483 kW since installation.
In terms of upcoming solar projects at city facilities, staff are currently working on a solar project for the Civic Center as well as Fire Station 3. The Civic Center project plans to add solar carports above the Alta Vista Parking lot, which will provide 621 kW behind -the -meter PV. This project will require the parking lot to be closed for 6 months and its estimated date of completion is March 2025. The Fire Station 3 project is in design and the estimated power output for the project based on a model run is 35kW. This project is estimated to be completed by December 2025.
In addition, in June 2024 City Council directed staff to install solar streetlights in 66 locations within the city, which is in addition to 12 pilot locations. These lights are energy efficient, less expensive than traditional electric streetlights, and align with the City's climate action goals. • Goal Status:
o In Progress - Goal will be met and/or surpassed by 2030.
Next Steps:
o With the completion of the Civic Center project, the goal will be reached and exceeded, and with the completion of the Fire Station 3 project and the solar streetlight project, the City is committing to adding PV at more city facilities. Staff will continue to pursue grants and other opportunities to add solar to city facilities, including researching battery storage potential.
Measure E-3: Join a Program to Increase Grid -Supply Renewable and Zero -Carbon Electric • Goal: Achieve 90 percent renewable or zero -carbon electricity by 2030 • Description from CAP:
o Join a program to increase grid -supply renewable and zero -carbon electricity beyond the RPS mandate for 2030.
• Background:
o As of April of this year, the City of Vista is officially enrolled with Clean Energy Alliance which offers three different renewable energy options. The City Council has elected to opt up to 100 percent renewable energy for all city facilities and operations. In addition, Council voted to enroll all of Vista's residents and businesses in 50 percent renewable with 75 10/03/2024 D 1 Page 10 of 145
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 3, 2024

SUBJECT: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE
percent carbon free energy. Currently, Vista has a 96.4 percent participation rate with 66 percent of customers opting down to 50 percent renewable energy, and 0.7 percent customers opting up to 100 percent renewable energy.
With 96.4 percent of the city running on at least 50 percent renewable energy and the 260 customers who have opted up to 100 percent renewable energy, the City is on a good path to reach the goal laid out in the CAP of 90 percent renewable or zero -carbon electricity by 2030.
• Goal Status:
o In Progress — Likely that goal will be met by 2030.
• Next Steps:
o The next steps to reach this goal are to continue to provide outreach and education to our residents and businesses and encourage them to opt -up to 100 percent renewable energy with Clean Energy Alliance. In addition, one of Council's 2024-2026 goals is to ensure a high enrollment rate in the Clean Energy Alliance program.
Strategy 6 — Reduce and Recycle Solid Waste
Measure W-1 Reduce Solid Waste Disposal and Increase Recycling • Goal: Achieve 85 percent waste diversion citywide (equivalent to reducing per capita waste landfilled to two lbs. per person) by 2030.
• Description from CAP:
o Work with waste haulers to set citywide solid waste reduction and recycling goal Background:
o Staff have been working with our waste hauler, EDCO, as well as other organizations, including I Love a Clean San Diego, Solana Center and the Vista Chamber of Commerce to educate the public and keep Vista in compliance with state law. While the City is in compliance with state law, Vista's current total diversion rate is 25.9 percent. For each sector individually the diversion rates are residential at 46.4 percent, commercial at 11.7 percent, and roll -off at 15.1 percent. Details are included in Exhibits 9 and 10.
EDCO has been providing ongoing customer support, education, and community presentations, and sends out regular customer newsletters. They also provide route inspections to identify concerns, alert customers and provide related educational materials.
They provide individual site reviews for commercial accounts to help right size containers and educate customers on organic waste diversion. In addition, I Love a Clean San Diego holds an annual "Save Your Scraps" workshop for Vista residents to learn about food waste reduction, proper waste stream separation and composting. They also held an organic waste recycling workshop at the library in the last year and had several webinars over the past couple of years.
Lastly, staff are working with Solana Center for Environmental Innovation for the City's food recovery programming. Solana Center is providing education and technical assistance related to food waste reduction, edible food recovery, recycling, and organics waste diversion to all identified Food Recovery Organizations and Tier 1 and 2 food waste generators. Currently there are 50 commercial edible food generators and 11 food recovery services and/organizations located within Vista. In 2023, 1,292,910 pounds of 10/03/2024 D 1 Page 11 of 145

edible food was recovered from food generators by these food recovery services and organizations.
• Goal Status:
o In Progress
Next Steps:
o While achieving 85 percent waste diversion by 2030 presents challenges, efforts are ongoing to move toward this target. Staff rely heavily on our contractors and partners to help educate our businesses and residents about proper disposal. Staff will continue to work with our partners to ensure compliance in state law and is continuing to explore initiatives to help boost the City's diversion rate.
Strategy 7 — Carbon Sequestration
Measure C-1: Increase Tree Planting at Municipal Facilities and Public Rights -of Way • Goal: Plant an average of 100 trees annually through 2030 (1,300 net new trees by 2030). • Description from CAP:
o Develop a program to track tree planting and maintenance at city facilities, public parks, and public rights -of -way
Background:
o Since 2020, the City of Vista has planted 871 trees at various city facilities, public parks, and public rights -of -way across the city. The majority of these trees were able to be planted through grant funding assistance and coordination with UrbanCorp. The City currently has a Street Tree Master Plan that was published in 2007, which recommended priorities for tree plantings in the public right of way on residential and arterial streets. Currently the City's contractor, West Coast Arborists, assist staff in maintaining and tracking the 16,000- tree inventory in the city along with the 5,000 vacant sites suitable for a street tree. • Goal Status:
o In Progress — Likely that goal will be met by 2030 deadline.
Next Steps:
o Staff will continue to focus on tree planting and with future park and public space redevelopment. Staff anticipates the City will reach its goal by 2030. The current future redevelopment list is:
■ N. Santa Fe Drive Re -Development
• Will plant around 125 trees in median and along both sides of N. Santa Fe with irrigation
■ Inland Rail Trail Development
■ Avenida de La Plaza & Avendia de Benito Juarez Park Development ■ Hacienda & Matagual Park Development
■ Breeze Hill Park Development
■ Wiivay Park Development
Staff is continuing to work on new policies and initiatives, like incorporating planting street trees into the Residential Tree Giveaway Program, to help the city reach and exceed this goal.

Measure C-2: Increase Tree Planting at New Private Properties • Goal: Plant an average of 500 new trees annually at new developments through 2030 (5,500 net new trees by 2030)
• Description from CAP:
o Enforce the new development tree requirements from landscape plans and track the new trees planted
Background:
o The City updated it's landscape manual in 2022 to require one tree per every 4-6 parking spots depending on the development type. Staff researched all landscape plans that had been approved since 2020 and have found that 2,266 trees have been planted at new developments; 1,231 have been planted at Commercial Developments, 951 have been planted at Multifamily Developments, and 84 have been planted at Residential Developments.
• Goal Status:
o In Progress — Likely that goal will be met by 2030 deadline. • Next Steps:
It is likely the City will meet this goal as staff continue to encourage and require additional tree planting where possible at new developments as part of their landscaping plans.
The progress above reflects the work that has been done to directly address Vista's CAP measures, however there are multiple City projects and programs that have been ongoing which indirectly support CAP measures and GHG reduction efforts.
Residential Tree Giveaway Program
The residential tree giveaway program started on Earth Day, April 22, 2024. The purpose of the program is to increase local tree canopy on private properties, improve wildlife habitat, and mitigate the effects of climate change. This program is funded by an allocation of $50,000 from the year end fund balance of Fiscal Year 2023-2024 by the City Council. The program provides trees or pollinator plants free of charge to City of Vista residents, either by delivery, a voucher, or a reimbursement program. There is an approved list of trees which includes native trees, regionally friendly trees, utility friendly trees, fruit trees, and pollinator plant options (Exhibit 11, page 6) which was modeled after the SDG&E tree rebate program list and was approved by the City's Public Works Team. The program is open to City of Vista residents who own the property they reside in or have approval from the property owner to plant an Approved Plant at their residence. The program also limits one approved plant per residential address and does not obligate the City to provide a replacement plant if the plant received fails to thrive.
The tree giveaway program has been successful with over 300 applicants, out of which 257 have been approved, and currently 236 trees have been delivered/picked up by residents. Out of the trees received, over half of them have been from the fruit tree options. For a full break down and summary of the current status of the tree program, please reference Exhibit 11, page 7. All approved participants are required to follow the Tree Planting Guidelines, take the Tree Steward Pledge and follow the Young Tree Best Care Practices listed in the Program Policy (Exhibit 11, page 1). As a note, the Tree Planting Guidelines exclude planting the tree in any public right-of-way. To confirm the trees have been planted, all tree program recipients are also required to send a photo of their planted tree to the City. 10/03/2024 D 1 Page 13 of 145
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 3, 2024 PAGE 14
SUBJECT: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE
The majority of the denied applicants are from residents who live in the county, and not within City limits.
When county residents apply, they are directed to the SDG&E tree rebate program where they will be able to be reimbursed for a tree if they are still interested in a free tree.
While this program does not directly influence the implementation of CAP Measure C-2 (Planting on New Private Property), it does support the underlying purpose of increasing Vista's tree canopy. Staff plans to continue to advertise this program to the public and believes there is enough funding to last the program through Earth Month 2025, after which more funding will need to be allocated to continue to the program.
Ash Can Program
The Ash Can program started in January of 2024 with the donation of three cigarette butt cannisters (ash cans) by the Surfrider Foundation. These ash cans help mitigate tobacco waste litter in the areas where it is most frequently found. The City's Community Improvement team has been servicing the three Ash Cans every week and has recorded their use since their installment in March 2024 (Exhibit 12, page 17).
The success for the three Ash Cans led to staff exploring other options and now the City is partnering with I Love a Clean San Diego to have 15 additional Ash Cans posted in the high foot traffic areas of the City.
Staff utilized the support of summer interns to monitor three routes in the City over a three week period in summer, 2024, where each route passed by a suggested location from either City Council, the Environmental Commission, or Vista Community Clinic. The interns notated locations that had continuous tobacco waste after being cleaned up weekly. At the August Environmental Commission meeting, the locations that had continuous tobacco waste were presented to the Commission and they voted to add the Ash Cans at the locations listed on Exhibit 12, page 16. The 15 that are provided from I Love a Clean San Diego will be installed, serviced, and maintained by their Cigarette Litter Ambassadors. The three that the City owns will still be serviced and maintained by the Community Improvement Team. Staff plans to continue to monitor the program and work with Public Works, Stormwater Programs, and the Communications team to further advertise this program to decrease litter.
While this program does not directly influence the implementation of CAP measure W-1 (Reducing Solid Waste) it does support a Cleaner Vista and promote education on proper disposal of hazardous materials.
Polystyrene Ban & Single Use Plastics Reduction Program At the end of 2023, Staff sent a letter to all food service providers with a Vista Business License educating the businesses about the Polystyrene (or Styrofoam) Ban and the Single Use Plastics Reduction Program.
Currently in Vista, no food service providers (restaurants, cafes, grocery stores etc.) should be providing their customers polystyrene products with prepared food (food or drinks that are prepared by the food service provider that are ready to be consumed). In addition, no food service providers should be providing their customers with single use foodware (including straws, forks, condiment packets) unless the customer requests them.
Both ordinances are complaint -based and require a resident to formally submit a notice to the city that a local food service provider is not obeying the ordinances. Starting in August of 2024, residents can now submit their complaint/report a business via the Access Vista App, prior to which residents had to email or call the city to report a business. When a business is reported, staff provides businesses education and outreach and gives them 30 days to enact a compliance plan. Staff also notifies the business if they are applicable for the 6-month waiver (if they gross less than $1 million a year). If the business is non- responsive or refuses to comply with the ordinances, they are then referred to Code Enforcement.
Since the fall of 2023 the city has received 13 reports of food service providers who are violating the Municipal Code, with 12 for serving Styrofoam products and one for providing single use foodware without request. In addition, there are currently 3 active waivers for businesses who required more time to comply with the ordinances or transition away from polystyrene products. Staff has only had to engage Code 10/03/2024 D 1 Page 14 of 145
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 3, 2024 PAGE 15
SUBJECT: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE
Enforcement with one business, and Code Enforcement confirmed they had transitioned away from polystyrene products following enforcement.
Staff plan to continue to provide education and outreach to businesses regarding these ordinances through work with the Economic Development team, the Communications team, and partnering with the Chamber of Commerce. While this program does not directly influence the implementation of CAP measure W-1 (Reducing Solid Waste), it does support a Cleaner Vista as well as increasing recycling as businesses transition to recyclable plastic or compostable paper takeout containers.
San Diego Regional Green Business Network
In 2024, Staff initiated a partnership with the San Diego Regional Green Business Network, which is a free consulting program provided by the San Deigo Green Building Council. The partnership helps businesses adopt environmentally sustainable practices through targeted outreach and certification. Green businesses implement practices that focus on energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste reduction to help reduce costs of operation and fight climate change. Currently, two Vista businesses have become certified through the Green Business Network, and one Vista business is in the process of becoming certified. To boost these numbers, staff are fostering a connection between the San Diego Regional Green Business Network and the Vista Chamber of Commerce. In addition, staff have worked with the Economic Development team to promote the network through newsletters.
This program promotes education and outreach to businesses on how their practices can impact the environment through water and energy use, the transportation options to their facilities, use of toxic chemicals, and their recycling and waste practices.
E-Bike Safety and Rebate Program
The E-Bike Safety & Rebate Program began in June of 2024, with the purpose of promoting safe and sustainable transportation options and enhancing community awareness of bike safety for Vista residents.
The City of Vista partnered with the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition to conduct both virtual and in person bike safety training classes. The program has been successful with 100 participants and $2,200 of rebates being distributed to Vista residents to -date.
In addition, staff have been working with Vista Unified School District (VUSD) since the winter of 2023 to promote VUSD's bike safety program. All students who ride their bike to school must have a permit that VUSD issues them after they participate in an hour-long bike safety class. VUSD promotes the city's current safety trainings to families and coordinated with staff to ensure students who participate receive credit toward their permit.
This program supports Strategy 2, which is to reduce vehicle miles traveled.
Events — Earth Month & Cyclovia
Staff has worked to boost public awareness of the City's environmental programs through several outreach events. Two that have been predominately focused on the city's sustainability efforts are staff's participation in the Alta Vista Botanical Gardens Earth Day festival in April of 2024 as well as the City's inaugural Cyclovia Vista Event in September of 2024. Each of these events were centered around public awareness of the City's sustainability efforts as well as the programs the city offers for its businesses and residents.
Grants
Since the CAP Implementation Update last year, staff have been working on securing more grant funding for more CAP and Sustainability related projects. Below is a list of all grants the city has been awarded, that are pending, or possible viable options:

Environmental Commission
The final program being implemented by staff is the new Environmental Commission. The Commission started in April of 2024 with the purpose of promoting and supporting the City's climate and environmental responsibility goals and advising the City Council and the City Manager on matters related to environmental health, environmental conservation, environmental justice, and environmental sustainability in the city. The Commission has met 6 times so far this year and have been advising on the several climate action initiatives, and created a Workplan (Exhibit 13), as well as received reports from the City's Stormwater Team, the City's Arborist, and CEA. As the Commission grows and develops, staff will bring new programs and initiatives to the Commission for approval and their recommendations to City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT: There are no direct fiscal impacts associated with the staff recommendation.

Executive Summary
The City of Vista (City) developed its 2021 Climate
Action Plan (CAP) to serve as a comprehensive roadmap
that outlines the specific activities to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the potential impacts of
climate change within the City. The CAP is consistent
with and complementary to statewide legislation and
regulatory mandates and establishes locally based
strategies and measures that will not only reduce GHG
emissions, but also improve the livability and quality of life in the city.
Implementation of the CAP requires ongoing
management, oversight, and collaboration, ensuring that measures translate to real GHG emissions reductions.
Successful implementation requires investment, long-
term commitments, and widespread community
participation.
Monitoring CAP measures is an important part of
ensuring the success of the CAP in achieving the City's 2030 reduction target. The City monitors progress
towards the 2030 goal by participating in SANDAG's
biennial update of its local GHG inventory. City staff
provides periodic updates to the City Council on CAP
implementation and efforts. The City will again update
the CAP in alignment with the 2050 General Plan Update, to ensure CAP measures remain implementable and
feasible, adjusting measures based on changing
conditions or demands, and incorporating new
technology not considered in the previous CAPs.
Ongoing partnerships between community
residents, businesses, property owners, the City, and
other agencies and organizations in the region are
essential for successful implementation. On a
communitywide level, individuals and businesses can
play an important role in reducing GHG emissions by
changing habits to produce less waste or using
alternative modes of transportation.
City of Vista Annual Climate Action Plan Monitoring Report 2024 13 10/03/2024 D 1 Page 23 of 145
Executive Summary
Achieving the 2030 reduction targets requires implementation of the reduction strategies and measures identified in the CAP. The Monitoring Report builds upon Chapter 4 of the CAP, "Implementation and Monitoring," and outlines how the City has been implementing CAP measures. Implementation of certain strategies and measures requires the City to develop new ordinances, programs, and plans, or modify existing ones. This requires careful consideration of the operational and capital resources needed, in addition to staff resources, timing, phasing, and monitoring of implementation.
GHG reduction strategies included in the CAP span a variety of activity sectors; the CAP implementation process is a collaborative and inter -departmental City effort with various departments taking primary or secondary responsibility for the implementation of specific measures. In 2024, a Climate Action Working Group was established to have an internal common place for city departments to collaborate and share information on CAP implementation progress.
This report is currently a working document, and will not be officially published until the fall of 2024, during City Council Workshop. This will coincide with the annual CAP Update City Council Workshop, the first of which was held in October of 2023. The previous workshop did not have a monitoring report to go along with it but did have a staff report as well as went over city projects that supported ongoing CAP implementation efforts. All information from the previous update can be found online, and the recording of the workshop can be found here:

Executive Summary
The 2021 CAP Update modeled citywide
emissions projects based on a continuation of
current trends in activity, population, and job
growth. The city met its 2020 emissions
reduction target under Business As Usual
conditions, but to meet the City's 2030 reduction
target, the goals of the measures listed in the
2021 CAP Update will need to be reached. These
goals can be supplemented by other climate
friendly actions as well to achieve even higher
emissions reductions.

CAP MEASURE PROGRESS
Completed In Progress Not Started
As of March of 2024, the City of Vista has achieved the goals of two measures, is in progress with ten measures, and has not started one measure. Out of the ten that are in progress, five of them are on schedule, two of them are awaiting resources, and three of them require more data to be gathered to determine if they are on schedule or will need to await more resources. When a measure's goal is in progress but awaiting resources, that means that there might not be the technology or funds available to complete the goal quickly, however there is still progress being made on the goal at a slower pace. The one measure that has yet to be started will be started by the end of 2024, it has not been started yet due to staff availability. Table 1 on the next two pages is a quick summary of each measure, discussed more in the Progress Per Measure section of this report.

Greenhouse Gas Inventory
The city has been working toward GHG emission reductions and to meet the targets set forth in our 2021 CAP Update. The GHG inventory that our 2021 Update has is a baseline 2012 GHG Inventory. The City acquires their GHG inventory through SANDAG's RECAP snapshots which are meant to be published every two years. The most recent, complete, inventory is from 2016 data (Figure 1), as the 2020 inventory (Figure 2) did not include on -road transportation. Based on figures 1 & 2, without sufficient on -road transportation data, which accounts for over half of GHG emissions, the 2020 inventory cannot be a reliable data source for progress tracking. SANDAG should be publishing a new GHG inventory for each city mid 2025 which will give each city a better idea on their progress toward reducing their GHG emissions.

Equity &Jobs
While the City of Vista is fortunate to not have too large of a disadvantaged population currently, there is a continuous focus on our communities of concern. These communities are those that face larger economic, health and environmental burdens than others within our city.
The majority of grants that the City applies for are targeted to disadvantaged and environmental justice communities. Through these grants the Vista was able to fund the upcoming tree planting project along North Santa Fe Avenue that will benefit communities who struggle the most with urban canopy. During all public meetings there are opportunities for members of any community to participate and the most recent general plan meetings were also held by district to promote inclusion.
Vista's CAP does not call for creating green jobs, however it is an effort the city fully supports.
Creating jobs that provide a benefit to the environment or conserve natural resources not only helps the beautification of the city but also boost the local green economy. In 2022, the City of Vista created the Climate Action Plan Program Administrator role at the city and created two positions for the Community Improvement Team, which exemplifies the support of high paying green jobs. In addition, with all the implementation efforts laid out within the CAP, the City partners, contracts, and utilizes several businesses that provide green services like sustainable transportation planning, solar panel and EV charging installation, and clean energy procurement.
Lastly, the City of Vista has recently become a partner with the San Diego Regional Green Business Network which is a free consultation program that all Vista businesses can take advantage of to become a Certified Green Business with the State. This program will help all Vista businesses, regardless of size or revenues, to conserve energy, reduce waste, and implement more sustainable practices.
City of Vista Annual Climate Action Plan Monitoring Report 2024 115 10/03/2024 D 1 Page 35 of 145
Energy
In August of 2022, the City of Vista and Clean Energy Alliance (CEA), a Community Choice Aggregator, signed a joint powers agreement, allowing Vista to be apart of their clean energy program effective April of 2024. In November of 2023, the City Council agreed to have the default power supply for residents & businesses be a 50% renewable with a 75% carbon free energy choice.
Council also voted to have all city facilities and operations have the default of 100% renewable energy. Currently, the city has been organizing outreach opportunities and engagement events with our residents and businesses to encourage them to "opt up" to 100% renewable energy if that is a feasible financial option for them.
Joining the CEA assists the city with their energy efficiency goals because they offer programs to help homeowners and renters be more energy efficient. The City shares information to the public via social media on tips and tricks to save energy and water in partnership with other organizations as well. Though the city does not control water delivery to their residents and business, handled by a separate entity Vista Irrigation District, the city does encourage water conservation through our stormwater division. With that said the City has been installing smart controller irrigation systems to our parks and medians which monitor when it rains and will postpone watering until several days after a rain event.
Another large task the city is taking on related to energy is transitioning the municipal fleet to electric vehicles and encouraging the transition to electric vehicles to our residents/visitors by adding the necessary infrastructure. While there are some roadblocks with transitioning the larger or midsize vehicles in our fleet due to availability and affordability of technology, the obstacle the city has faced with the light duty vehicles is not having the charging infrastructure in place. To combat this the city has engaged in a citywide capital improvement project which will add around 90 EV chargers across the city. These chargers will be installed at city owned properties and be fully accessible to the public. Having a citywide EV charging infrastructure will provide residents reassurance that they will have a place to charge their vehicle while out enjoying the many amenities the city has to offer and encourage those who do not own an EV to consider transitioning to one.

Transportation & Land Use
In 2024, the City began working with SANDAG's Sustainable Transportation division to start establishing sustainable commuter benefits for its employees. There were previous efforts, however they struggled with the impact of the COVID pandemic. Working with SANDAG has resulted in conducting a citywide survey for employees to identify how they currently commute to and from work. The data from this survey is now being used to create educational tools and build programs for city employees to encourage the use of more sustainable modes of transportation besides single occupancy vehicles. Once Vista has an established program, the City will advertise the program to the businesses of Vista and encourage other employers to create sustainable commuting programs for their employees. With this, the City of Vista is on track to establish more sustainable modes of transportation for both our employees, businesses, and residents.
Another way the City is aiming to reduce vehicle miles traveled on our roadways by our residents and businesses is implementing more mixed use and high density within our highly trafficked areas. The City is currently going through the process of updating their general plan for 2050, and the primary focus of this update is adding higher density mixed use areas along the main traffic corridors to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) for the growing population as more housing is developed. With all new developments, affordable housing or commercial, there are considerations for how people will be traveling around, in, and out of the city with an emphasis on access to public transportation.
City of Vista Annual Climate Action Plan Monitoring Report 2024 117 10/03/2024 D 1 Page 37 of 145
Transportation & Land Use
The City of Vista is actively working on updating biking infrastructure and policy around the city as called out in the Bicycle Master Plan. These efforts can be seen in new green bike lanes, adding separated bicycle lanes, and updating the City's bicycle ordinance. The city has also been working toward the program recommendations called out in the Bicycle Master Plan and will be partnering with SANDAG and the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition to have bicycling safety courses offered to the public for free in 2024. Paired with these bicycling safety courses will also be an a -bike rebate program for residents to help promote cycling as a transportation option in the City.
In addition to biking infrastructure and policy, the City is seeking to fund several Complete Streets projects through Active Transportation Program Grants and state earmarks. Currently, the City is nearing completion on the Townsite Complete Streets projects which was developed to encourage increase use of active modes of transportation such as biking and walking. The project should be completed in summer 2024 and transformed approximately 1.2 miles of Townsite Drive by constructing sidewalks, updating ADA ramps, constructing four roundabouts, curb extensions high visibility crosswalks and sharrows.
. a11
Vista has also been installing roundabouts in its higher traffic areas to calm traffic and increase walkability of the city. The City has adopted a traffic calming program as a way to address speed in residential areas which allows residents to request traffic calming measures to be implemented in their neighborhoods. These measures can be anything from additional striping or signage to installation of speed humps in the neighborhood.
City of Vista Annual Climate Action Plan Monitoring Report 2024 118 10/03/2024 D 1 Page 38 of 145
Zero Waste
The City works closely with our waste hauler, EDCO, to work with and educate our businesses and residents on waste diversion, organics recycling, and waste reduction methods.
The City of Vista is also a member of the Regional Solid Waste Association (RSWA) and works with the Solana Center which has been helping monitor the city's progress on SB1383 which has the requirement to divert 75% of the city's organic waste from the landfill, to be recycled/composted or if edible, recovered for redistribution to those in need.
In addition to diverting organic waste and recovering edible food to meet the city's waste diversion goals, in 2021 the City Council approved an ordinance which bans food service providers (restaurants, cafes, food trucks, etc.) from providing their customers prepared food in polystyrene, or Styrofoam, containers. The City has been spreading awareness to their food service providers on the polystyrene ban as well as the states single use food ware accessories and condiments reduction (AB 1276) through email, mailers, newsletters, and in person visits.
Trees
The City of Vista is on the path to reach their goal tree canopy coverage target and planting goals as outlined in the 2021 CAP Update. In the past three years the city has planted nearly 1,000 trees and has projects and programs in the works that promise to continue to increase planting. In addition, the City's landscaping manual for new developments was updated and it now requires one tree to be planted for every four to six parking spots depending on the development type. One of the upcoming projects that is fully funded by grant funds is tree planting with irrigation along the North Santa Fe corridor which runs through one of Vista's disadvantaged communities.
Starting in 2024, the City of Vista will begin a pilot program for a Residential Free Tree Giveaway, where residents will be able received a free tree by delivery or pick up or be reimbursed for purchasing a tree at a Vista nursery. The City is also looking to apply for grants that will help them fund and develop an urban forestry plan.

The 2020 GHG emissions inventory was prepared using the best available data for each emissions category and does not include on -road transportation. The activity data for electricity, natural gas, solid waste, and water sectors are based on tracked and observed usage for the year and therefore, correctly reflect the impacts of Covid-19. However, for on -road transportation, the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) data are estimates from the SANDAL activity based model (ABM). The most recent SANDAG activity based model, ABM2+, was last calibrated with observed data from 2016 and forecasts 2020 VMT. While transportation historically accounts for the largest share of GHG emissions in an inventory, the forecasted VMT does not take into account the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and cannot be updated to provide 2020 VMT data for each jurisdiction. Caltrans PeMS data provides observed regional VMT on freeways for 2020. Image 1 compares the observed VMT on freeways in the San Diego region for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021. The observed data is only available for freeway and it cannot be scaled down to individual jurisdictions which have different configuration of roads. While other sources of data and anecdotal experience show lower VMT in 2020, there is no data for how each jurisdiction's VMT changed during 2020. The Caltrans PeMS data set shows similar travel trends in 2021 as in 2019 which suggests that lower VMT in 2020 is likely due to the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and may not sustain long term.

The Project
The Inland Rail Trail is a proposed 21-mile
Class I bikeway that will run through the
cities of Escondido, San Marcos, Vista,
and Oceanside, as well as a portion of
the unincorporated County of San Diego.
A Class I bikeway is a multi -use path
that is physically separate from motor
vehicle traff c. The easternmost section
of the Inland Rail Trail was completed
in 2009 by the cities of Escondido and
San Marcos and extends seven miles
between the Escondido Transit Center
and the intersection of West Mission
Road and North Pacif c Street in the City
of San Marcos.
The San Marcos to Vista segment of
the Inland Rail Trail will be a seven -mile
Class I bikeway. The project begins at
the intersection of West Mission Road
and North Pacif c Street in San Marcos,
and ends at the intersection of North
Melrose Drive and West Bobier Drive in
Oceanside. When completed, the path
will provide access to fve SPRINTER
stations. The project is generally located
in the North County Transit District
(NCTD) right-of-way.
NORTH MELROSE

The Need
The Inland Rail Trail is considered a
priority project by SANDAG and is
an important part of the San Diego
Regional Bike Plan Early Action Program
(EAP). The completion of this trail and
other bikeways will help create a more
comfortable, convenient, and connected
regional bike network.
The EAP is an initiative that was
approved by the SANDAG Board of
Directors in 2013 to build a regional
network of high -quality bikeways
and complete streets that reimagine
how we use space on our roadways.
Together, these projects aim to make
it easier, safer, and more practical for
people of all ages and abilities to use
active transportation, including biking,
walking, skating, scooting, and using a
wheelchair.
Planning for a more bike -friendly region
helps address complex and interrelated
issues, including traff c congestion, air
pollution, climate change, public health,
and livability. By creating a robust
regional bike network by 2050, the plan
can make a difference in these areas of
concern, thereby improving existing and
future quality of life in the San Diego
region.

Energy Audit Report I City of Vista Government Facilities DA
1. Purpose of the Audit
TRC Energy Services has completed a HVAC and Lighting audits various government facilities for the City of Vista and identified energy efficiency opportunities that have the potential to reduce total costs by $112,172 annually while also improving building comfort and safety, and reducing maintenance costs. This report details the audits for the City of Vista's Civic Center, Public Works Department, and Wave Water Park.
The City may be able to implement some of the recommended measures without detailed engineering.
Other measures will require more detailed engineering analysis of feasibility and constructability. This study does not include specific design instructions and is not intended as a design document. Projects have not been developed to design level. The design professional or other persons following the recommendations shall accept responsibility and liability for the results.
As technical consultants TRC Energy Services remains product and vendor neutral. The products presented in this report represent examples of the possible products that could be used for the project. The products were chosen based on their technological feasibility, efficiency and impact on the project economics. The analysis herein is based on the performance and pricing of these particular products. It should be noted that if the City would like to move forward with products other than those shown in this report, the analysis would need to be revised based on updated product performance and costs.
Acknowledgments
Special thanks to Keith Gardner and Mickey Romero of the City of Vista, Anna Lowe of the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), as well as Adrian Salas and Chris Nanson of San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) for all their help and cooperation throughout the audit and reporting process.

TRC did not consider onsite generation technologies such as renewable energy as a part of this study.
Also, the audited sites are not enrolled in any SDGE demand generation (DG), demand response (DR), or permanent load shifting (PLS) programs. The Vista Civic Center manages its own demand response system without assistance from SDGE in order to avoid peak demand charges.
While HVAC systems were audited, their associated energy saving measures will be evaluated at a later phase.
Table 3.1 below lists all the measures identified with project implementation economics. The tables estimated the annual utility savings based on a blended utility rate. Please find additional details on each measure in the Energy Efficiency Measure Description section below. *Linear surface mounted fixtures, MR16 fixtures, and exterior fixtures are currently assumed to not qualify for SDGE midstream incentives.

Wave Water Park
The Wave Water Park's pools are served by (4) circulation pumps and (4) booster pumps. The existing pumps run at a constant speed 24/7 to meet flow requirements dictated by minimum turnover rate while the pools are occupied. When the pools are unoccupied, the existing pump motors are incapable of turning down to meet lower flowrate requirements.
See tables 4.2 and 4.3 below for a summary of the site's pump schedule and occupancy hours. Refer to Attachment A for a full list of existing fixtures and proposed replacements/controls.

3.3 Controls Systems
The Vista Civic Center's lighting is currently controlled by an Intelligent Lighting Control lighting controls system which is mainly for scheduling. Certain areas within the Center, such as offices, are controlled via wall or ceiling mounted occupancy sensors. Although the Center receives a large amount of sunlight due to its long, curved design, no daylighting controls system is currently installed. The lighting controls system is not integrated into the building's HVAC Energy Management System (EMS) and has no dimming functionality.
The Civic Center's HVAC system is controlled via Alerton energy management system (EMS). The AC units are mainly controlled via their on board controller. However, the scheduling is done through the EMS.
The zone boxes are controlled through the EMS system. The site has roughly 1-3 rooms to a VAV box, which regulate airflow to keep temperatures between 70 and 74 degrees. 20011

3.4 Lighting Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM)
EEM 1— Replace and retrofit exterior fixtures with new LED fixtures and retrofit kits NOTE: This exterior lighting currently does not receive incentivizes from SANDAG, but may be revisited in Quarter 2 of 2018.
The Public Works facility and Wave Water Park have exterior parking lots and walkways illuminated by metal halide and high pressure sodium wall packs and pole -mounted area lights. The Civic Center's exterior walkways are lit by CFL Can downlights. This measure recommends to replace and retrofit all HID and CFL fixtures with equivalent LED fixtures.
The proposed LED fixtures feature equivalent or greater lighting output than the existing fixtures, thus maintaining or improving lighting levels while reducing energy consumption by roughly 70%. Additionally, they offer truer color rendering values than conventional area lighting methods, which is useful for nighttime visibility and security. LED lights also reduce maintenance costs associated with bulb replacement due to their significantly longer lifespans, which is especially applicable to elevated lights which require extra time to replace. Proposed LED exterior fixtures offer reduced uplight, backlight, and glare due to their directional design, which reduces light pollution. The proposed LED fixtures are found on the Design Lights Consortium (DLC) and Energy Star (ES) Qualified Product Lists.

The interiors of the sites are lit primarily by linear fluorescent T8 and T12 recessed and surface mounted troffers. This measure recommends to retrofit all fluorescent recessed and surface mounted troffers with equivalent LED fixtures.
LED retrofit kits are a cost effective conversion that eliminate the need for a full fixture replacement. The proposed LED fixtures and retrofit kits feature equivalent or greater lighting output than the existing fixtures, thus maintaining or improving lighting levels while reducing energy consumption by roughly 60%. In addition to consuming less energy, LED lights reduce maintenance costs associated with bulb replacement due to their significantly longer lifespans- the proposed LED troffers are rated for over 50,000 hours and come with 5 year warranties, nearly double the lifespan of typical linear fluorescent lamps. Because they convert energy into light at a greater efficiency, they also emit less waste heat into building interiors, reducing cooling loads. The proposed LED fixtures and retrofit kits are all found on the Design Lights Consortium (DLC) Qualified Product List, meaning they meet premium quality standards and qualify for SDGE lighting upgrade incentives.

Conventional lighting systems are manually controlled on/off by users, which leaves a significant margin for wasted energy. Users will leave lights on in unoccupied rooms, lighting fixtures will over -light spaces, and the system cannot dynamically react to sunlight entering its space.
The City is interested in advanced lighting controls at the Civic Center. The Lutron advanced lighting controls package proposed in this audit will include high -precision occupancy sensors equipped with advanced motion sensors capable of detecting miniscule movements. The sensors will turn off their dependent lighting fixtures when they sense that their space is unoccupied. The system can be integrated into the building's existing Allerton Energy Management System (EMS) and will control dependent lighting fixtures, allowing the fixtures' power to be tuned down to prevent over -lighting. The system can be programmed to operate along with the sites existing Demand Reduction plans. Finally, daylighting sensors will measure light entering through windows and will dim surrounding lights accordingly, to save energy and maintain a natural level of light throughout the facility.

An ideal solution for meeting the minimum flow requirements of the filter, heater, and chemical control without using the excessive energy required to meet turn -over requirements is implementing variable frequency drive (VFD) control on the pump motor. VFD control on a pump motor can allow for reduced motor speeds and therefore reduced pumping during closed periods and full pumping capacity during open hours to the public. It is recommended that the pool pump motor VFD be operated in such a way that only the minimum flow requirement is met while the pool is closed and operate at the required turn -over rate while the pool is open. As a part of this scope, the old electric motors will be replaced with new premium efficient inverter duty motors.
Pool pump motor VFDs can be controlled in one of two ways, constant speed or constant flow. The constant speed approach involves having the VFD scheduled to operate the motor at a set speed once the pool closes. The constant flow approach involves the VFD working in unison with a flow meter to maintain a scheduled amount of flow. TRC recommends using the constant flow option as it is the best approach for maintaining energy savings and ensuring that turn -over requirements are being met. The savings calculations have been set up using a conservative 20% reduction in flow during closed periods. It is recommended that this lower flow boundary be explored in small increments, seeing how the equipment reacts to the reduced flow. The lower the flow setting, the more energy savings that can be obtained.
Table 3.11 below details the equipment proposed by this measure. Refer to Attachment B for a full breakdown of existina and proposed eauioment, as well as ooeratina hours.

This measure considered the additional cost to install flow sensors and powered interlocks to control the variable frequency drives.
This measure triggers Title 22 code- Division 4 Chapter 20 requiring specific turnovers for each pool while occupied. On -bill savings are based on the actual annual operating hours of the site. Refer to Attachment B for more details on the actual operating hours of the different areas of the facility. The existing equipment is used as baseline and no ISP is applicable. This measure is eligible for incentives under the SDGE targeted solutions "Non-HVAC VFD" and "Motors — Non HVAC Motors".

The air conditioning units (ACs 2-5) serving Civic Center main building are typically scheduled from 4 am to 5 pm. The unit (AC 1) serving the community center building is scheduled from 6 am to 6 pm. The units are started earlier than the building business hours to bring the building zones at its set points at the start of business hours. This existing control strategy of fixed scheduling leaves room for optimization to unit run times.
This measure recommends implementing automated optimal start/stop control strategy through the Civic Center's Alerton EMS. As a part of this control strategy, the existing unit schedules will be maintained, but the unit activation will be dynamically decided by the control system. The control system will monitor the building loads and activate the air conditioning units between the scheduled hours, while maintaining the zone temperatures within its set points. This strategy will reduce the air handling units' operating hours resulting in reduction in energy use.

The HVAC system is currently scheduled at unit level. The units serving the main building are scheduled from 4 am to 5 pm. The unit serving community center is scheduled from 6 am to 6 pm. The zones are maintained at their occupied cooling and heating setpoints irrespective of their occupancy during the business hours.
This measure recommends implementing zone setback controls based on the occupancy. Zones with dedicated thermostats such as conference rooms, office areas and the community center spaces will be targeted. Zones that have multiple areas controlled by a single thermostat will be excluded from this measure.
As a part of this control strategy, the Lutron Vive system will provide occupancy inputs to the Alerton control system. If no occupancy is detected for 30 minutes the control system will increase the temperature deadband in unoccupied zones and force the associated VAV boxes to their minimum flow set point. The proposed occupied hours setback temperature set points will be programmed such that the zone can be brought back to occupied mode temperatures to prevent any discomfort to occupants. Savings are realized by reduction in cooling and heating energy.

Energy Audit Report I City of Vista Fire Stations (AMNDAG
1. Purpose of the Audit
TRC Energy Services has completed audits for Lighting, Mechanical, Controls and Process measures for six fire stations located within the City of Vista and identified energy efficiency opportunities that have the potential to reduce total utility costs by $45,937 annually, while also improving building comfort and safety, and reducing maintenance workload. This report details the audit findings and their opportunities.
The City may be able to implement some of the recommended measures without detailed engineering.
Other measures will require more detailed engineering analysis of feasibility and constructability. This study does not include specific design instructions and is not intended as a design document. Projects have not been developed to design level. The design professional or other persons following the recommendations shall accept responsibility and liability for the results.
As technical consultants TRC Energy Services remains product and vendor neutral. The products presented in this report represent examples of the possible products that could be used for the project. The products were chosen based on their technological feasibility, efficiency and impact on the project economics. The analysis herein is based on the performance and pricing of these particular products. It should be noted that if the City would like to move forward with products other than those shown in this report, the analysis would need to be revised based on updated product performance and costs.
Acknowledgments
Special thanks to Keith Gardner and Mickey Romero of the City of Vista, Anna Lowe of the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), as well as Adrian Salas and Chris Nanson of San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) for all their help and cooperation throughout the audit and reporting process.

Fire Station 1 is a 11,290 sqft site that houses staff 24 hours a day. The building has a large garage to house support
vehicles and equipment. Around the exterior of the building is a substantial amount of outdoor parking.
The spaces are conditioned by two split system AC units and two packaged AC units equipped with gas heating. The two split system units are controlled manually, while the two packaged units are integrated into a Carrier CCNWeb Energy Management System (EMS). The building's interior is lit by linear fluorescent T8 fixtures. The exterior of the building is illuminated by metal halide and compact fluorescent flood and wall pack fixtures.
Fire Station 2 is a 4,260 sqft facility built to house staff at all times. As this site is slated for demolition, only measures with very low payback periods were proposed. The garage, which houses both equipment and vehicles, sits adjacent to the offices and living spaces.
The spaces are conditioned by two interior heating ventilation units, and one rooftop packaged AC unit equipped with gas heating. This station is not controlled by the central EMS and relies on manual HVAC control. The building's interior is lit linear T8 and T12 fluorescent fixtures. The exterior of the building is illuminated by metal halide and compact fluorescent wall pack fixtures.
Fire Station 3 is a 4,998 sqft building that houses firefighter staff 24/7. As this site is slated for demolition, only measures with very low payback periods were proposed. The garage, constructed for vehicles and equipment, takes up the center of the site, with offices and living spaces on the side.
The spaces are conditioned by one window AC unit and two packaged AC units equipped with gas heating. This station is not controlled by the central EMS and relies on manual HVAC control. The building's interior is lit linear T8 and T12 fluorescent fixtures. The exterior of the building is illuminated by metal halide and LED flood and wall pack fixtures.

11.7 The interiors of the fire stations are primarily lit by troffers equipped with linear fluorescent lamps. This measure covers the retrofitting of existing fluorescent troffers with LED troffers.
The proposed LED fixtures feature equivalent or greater lighting output than the existing fixtures, thus maintaining or improving lighting levels while reducing energy consumption by roughly 60%. Additionally, they offer truer color rendering values than conventional area lighting methods. LED lights also reduce maintenance costs associated with bulb and ballast replacement due to their significantly longer lifespans (100,000+ hours). LED fixtures create less waste heat, reducing the cooling load on their respective buildings. Finally, the proposed LED fixtures are capable of integrating with advanced controls systems that can adjust the fixtures' light outputs based on tenant requirements. All proposed LED fixtures are rated Premium in the Design Lights Consortium (DLC) Qualified Product Lists.
As the fixtures are planned to be tuned down via lighting controls, the energy savings shown for this measure do not reflect the full available savings. On -bill savings are based on the actual annual operating hours of the buildings. Refer to Attachment A for more details on the actual operating hours of the different areas of the facility. This measure is eligible for incentives under SDGE midstream incentive types — Interior LED 1x4, 2x2, and 2x4 Troffer.

EEM 2 — Upgrade 4' linear fluorescent lamps to LED
While most of the sites' 4' linear fluorescent lamps are contained within troffers eligible for full fixture replacement incentives, a portion are located within other fixture types. For these tubes, a lamp -for -lamp LED replacement is recommended.
Lamp for lamp upgrades are an incredibly economical option due to their low associated material and labor costs. As Fire Stations 2 and 3 are slated for demolition in the near future, full fixture replacements would not pay themselves off with energy savings before the end of their use. For this reason, lamp replacements were favored over fixtures replacements in Fire Stations 2 and 3, which are slated for demolition in the near future.
The proposed LED lamps offer equal or greater lighting output than the existing fluorescent lamps, capable of maintaining or improving lighting levels while reducing energy consumption by roughly 65%. The proposed lamps are compatible with Type A and B install types, meaning they can be easily plugged in and used or rewired for line voltage installation. Although LED lamps cannot dim like full LED fixtures, they are being primarily proposed in Fire Stations 2 and 3, which are not being equipped with advanced lighting controls capable of dimming. All proposed LED lamps are listed in the Design Lights Consortium (DLC) Qualified Product Lists and rated to 50,000+ hours.
On -bill savings are based on the actual annual operating hours of the buildings. Refer to Attachment A for more details on the actual operating hours of the different areas of the facility.

8.2 The fire stations' exterior spaces are illuminated by fixtures containing high pressure sodium, incandescent, linear fluorescent, metal halide, and compact fluorescent lamps. This measure covers replacing incentive - eligible exterior fixtures with equivalent LED fixtures.
LED exterior fixtures offer a number of advantages over standard fixtures. In addition to requiring roughly 65% less energy, they also produce less glare and uplight than their HID counterparts, creating a more comfortable environment for nearby residents and reducing overall light pollution. The longer life span of LED fixtures (100,000+ hours) is especially advantageous at reducing maintenance costs for hard -to -reach elevated fixtures such as wall packs and flood fixtures. The truer color offered by the LED fixtures also increases nighttime visibility, improving nearby safety and security. All proposed LED fixtures are rated Premium in the Design Lights Consortium (DLC) Qualified Product Lists.
On -bill savings are based on the actual annual operating hours of the buildings. Refer to Attachment A for more details on the actual operating hours of the different areas of the facility. This measure is eligible for incentives under SDGE midstream incentive types — LED Wall -Mounted Area Lighting.

8.7 Miscellaneous lighting around the six stations is provided by inefficient lamps and fixtures that do not fit into existing SDGE incentive groups. Examples include decorative fixtures, recessed cans, mid -range wall packs, strip fixtures, and linear fluorescent tubes of lengths other than 4 feet.
Although this measure is not incentivized, it was still proposed due to the high potential energy savings and lighting quality improvements offered by LED lamps and fixtures. LED lights reduce energy consumption by 60-70% compared to their standard -efficiency counterparts, reduce maintenance costs by offering much longer lifespans of 50,000+ hours, and reduce the cooling loads in buildings by creating less waste heat.
Proposed LED lamps and fixtures are rated in the Design Lights Consortium (DLC) or Energy Star (ES) Qualified Product Lists.

21.8 Conventional lighting systems are manually controlled on/off by users, which leaves a significant margin for wasted energy. Users will leave lights on in unoccupied rooms, lighting fixtures will over -light spaces, and the system cannot dynamically react to sunlight entering its space.
This measure proposes lighting controls systems in Fire Stations 1 and 4-6. Fire Stations 2 and 3 are excluded as they will be demolished before the benefits of this measure can be fully realized. The Lutron lighting controls package proposed in this audit will include high -precision occupancy sensors that will turn off their dependent lighting fixtures when they sense that their space is unoccupied. The system will control dependent lighting fixtures, allowing the fixtures' power to be tuned down to prevent over -lighting.
Additionally, the proposed Lutron controls system is BACNet compatible and can communicate with the EMS to control HVAC systems. Finally, photosensors will measure light entering through windows and can dynamically adjust light fixture levels to save energy and maintain light levels throughout the facility.
The paybacks for this measure are high but they do not reflect total amount of savings made possible by this measure. The occupancy setback controls solution presented in the Mechanical Efficiency Measure section is also facilitated by the lighting controls presented.
On -bill savings are based on the actual annual operating hours of the buildings. Refer to Attachment A for more details on the actual operating hours of the different areas of the facility, as well as a detailed schedule of existing and proposed equipment. Equipment was selected to comply with and exceed Title 24 2016 requirements.

3.9 Advanced maintenance strategies can enable an AC unit to operate at or near its optimal efficiency. This measure accounts for the quality maintenance to be done to all the existing package units, a total of 16 units, in order to increase their performance. This measure follows the recommendations of the highest available industry standard —Standard 180— and ensures the units maintains that level of performance for the life of a multi -year Maintenance Agreement.
Refer to Attachment B — Mechanical Calculations for more detailed information on the existing HVAC equipment of each building, as well as calculation methodology.
The EEM accounts for the following submeasures:
Refrigerant Charge Adjustment
This sub measure involves refrigerant charge correction to nonresidential direct expansion (DX) air-cooled HVAC units. When an HVAC unit's refrigerant charge does not meet the manufacturer recommended levels it results in a decrease in the unit's energy efficiency ratio (EER). Some units may be undercharged, which can result in decreased power draw but potentially longer run times. Other units may be overcharged, which can result in increased power draw but potentially shorter run times. In either case, energy savings can be achieved by correcting refrigerant charge to optimum levels based on the manufacturers' specifications.
The energy savings and costs of the EEM were determined based on PGE work paper PGE3PHVC160 (Refrigerant Charge Adjustment (RCA)).
Air flow Adjustment
When a building has balanced air flow, it means every room receives the right amount of air in order to ensure that it remains at an ideal temperature throughout the year. Along with keeping members of the building comfortable, correctly balanced airflow has the dual bonus of improving energy efficiency and reducing utility spending. This can be done by many ways, such as adjusting the system dampers or the small levers located on the round branch ducts.
The energy savings and costs of the EEM were determined based on Southern California Edison (SCE) work paper SCE17HCO29 (Residential HVAC Quality Maintenance).

6.1 The AC units currently serving the fire stations supply air to their dependent zones at a constant rate, varying the temperature of the supply air to meet conditioning needs. This measure recommends replacing the existing evaporator fan motors with high efficiency variable speed smart motors, which can be controlled to vary flowrate to condition spaces.
A number of the fire stations' package unit are older than 10 years, but are still in good operating condition and do not warrant a complete replacement of the unit. The units currently use shaded pole motors, and the first stage of this measure proposes installing new and more efficient electronically commutated (EC) motors. In addition to being roughly 20% more efficient than standard motors, the EC motors will realize increased savings through enabling more efficient controls.
Variable Air Volume systems are more capable of integrating with temperature control systems, reducing energy consumed by the compressors, and consuming less energy through their system fans. This measure will integrate with the building control system, so the AC units can receive information from the EMS regarding zone occupancy and temperature requirements and respond accordingly. By doing so, the HVAC system will reduce energy wasted when over -conditioning spaces.
This measure applies to sites that are currently or will be managed by an EMS. These sites are Fire Stations 1 and 4, 5, and 6. Note that Fire Station 4 is currently not integrated into an EMS. The Fire Station 4 costs in the measure include the integration of its HVAC systems to the central Alerton EMS.
The savings of these EEM were developed through the use of the representative building eQuest model developed (See Attachment D). The EEM applies to 15 package units, described in the table below. This measure is eligible for incentives under the SDGE targeted solutions "Constant Air Volume to Variable Air Volume Conversions".

EEM 8 — Implement Occupancy Setback Controls
Each fire station is conditioned by several packaged AC units with several associated thermal zones. The zones are maintained at their occupied cooling and heating setpoints irrespective of their occupancy levels.
This measure recommends implementing zone setback controls based on the occupancy.
As a part of this control strategy, the Lutron advanced lighting controls system will provide occupancy inputs to the control system. If no occupancy is detected for a predetermined amount of time, the control system will increase the temperature deadband in unoccupied zones and force the associated HVAC supply fans to their minimum flow set point. The proposed occupied setback temperature set points will be programmed such that the zone can be brought back to occupied mode temperatures to prevent any discomfort to occupants. Savings are realized by reduction in cooling and heating energy when zones are unoccupied.
This measure is very cost effective as most of the equipment costs involved are already borne by the lighting controls measure. The costs for this measure include connecting the proposed lighting control system to the EMS to send occupancy data, in addition to programming of the actual setback controls.
This measure applies to Fire Stations 1 and 4, 5, and 6. Fire Stations 2 and 3 are excluded as they are not being proposed advanced Lutron controls due to their planned demolition.
The savings of these EEM were developed through the use of the representative building eQuest model developed (See Attachment D). This measure is eligible for incentives under the SDG&E targeted solution "HVAC — Controls/Controlling Equipment".

3.1 Process Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM)
EEM 9 — Faucet aerators and low -flow showerheads
TRC recommends replacing any standard flow faucets with faucet aerators. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a special classification for more efficient faucets known as Water Sense. Water Sense labeled bathroom sink faucets and accessories that use a maximum of 1.5 gallons per minute can reduce a sink's water flow by 30% or more from the standard flow of 2.2 gallons per minute without sacrificing performance.
In addition to saving water, there is also an energy savings associated with faucet aerators, as less water is required to be heated. Savings for this measure are per faucet, and based on SCE work paper SCE17WP004, which assumes a baseline case of 2.2 GPM, and a proposed case of 1.7 GPM. Faucet aerators and low flow showerheads have both low material and installation costs, making them especially appealing. Savings calculated for this measure are not all encompassing as they do not include the potential utility savings realized by reduced water consumption.
The table below details the standard -flow faucets and showerheads within the stations that are considered for this measure. Fire Stations 2 and 3 were excluded because they are planned to be demolished before this measure can pay for itself in savings.

2.1 The fire stations are currently backed up by diesel generators equipped with conventional thermosiphon pumps and heaters. This measure recommends replacing the existing pumps with a recirculation pump and a smaller electric resistance heater. Due to the excellent payback, this measure applies to all of the fire stations.
Conventional thermosiphon heaters rely on the change in density in order to circulate heated coolant. This type of circulation leads to non -uniform temperature distribution, where the coolant is warmer at the top of the block and colder at the bottom, which requires the electric resistance heater to operate for a longer duration. This also means that there is waste heat in sections of the block, as the heater must operate to maintain a certain temperature, so the top of the block will always be hotter than necessary. Replacing thermosiphon heaters with electrical pump heaters can provide energy savings. By pumping the heated coolant, a more uniform temperature is obtained throughout the engine block. As a result of using a recirculation pump, a smaller electric resistance heater can be used to heat the coolant as there will be a more uniform temperature achieved through the mixing of fluid throughout the engine block.
Savings for this measure are based off SCE workpaper SCE17HC055. Refer to Attachment B for more details on the savings calculations performed for this measure. The existing equipment is used as baseline and no ISP is applicable.

The Jim Porter Rec Center's HVAC system is divided into five zones: Offices and Lobby area, Auditorium, Dance Studio, Classrooms, and Gymnasium. The HVAC units servings the Offices and Lobby, Classrooms, and Auditorium are controlled by hermostats and are programmed to operate during normal business hours at a setpoint of 72°F. During hosted events, the setpoint in the Auditorium is lowered to 70OF for the duration of the event. The HVAC unit in the Dance studio is manually turned on and off when the space is occupied.
The gymnasium is not conditioned, but is ventilated by four 1.5 HP exhaust fans, which are manually turned on and off when the space is occupied for basketball and volleyball games.
The Recreation Center is conditioned by three packaged Carrier heat pumps, and three Trane Packaged AC units. These units are about 14 years old on average but are currently in good condition and do not warrant a full replacement at this time. All the HVAC units at the site are equipped with economizers, and currently service their dependent zones with constant speed supply fan motors and no occupancy setback controls. Domestic Hot water is supplied by an electric 50 gallon Rheem Fury domestic hot water heater, with an input capacity of 4500W.
The tables below summarize the site's HVAC equipment. Refer to Attachment B to view the fully detailed existing HVAC system.

3.2 Lighting Systems
The Recreation Center has basic lighting control systems in a portion of their spaces. These lighting control systems use occupancy sensors capable of turning off lights in vacant areas but are not capable of dimming.
The building's interior is lit primarily by 1'x4' and 2'x4' linear fluorescent and LED recessed troffers, and compact fluorescent recessed cans. Its exterior is illuminated by and LED wall packs, and High Pressure Sodium wall packs along the building perimeter. The gym is illuminated by 2'x4' Linear Fluorescent high bay fixtures. A small number of the interior troffers are controlled via integrated occupancy sensors.
Gymnasium 2'x4' High Bay fixture
The adjacent ball fields are lit by 1000W Metal Halide flood lights that are controlled by a Musco control system. These lights are set to turn on at dusk and shut off at 10:30pm. The ball field lights are served by a separate meter and are billed based on a ASTODPSW billing rate. /* , 3

3.3 Lighting Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM)
EEM 1— Retrofit existing fluorescent troffers with LED equivalents The interior of the recreation center is primarily lit by troffers equipped with linear fluorescent lamps. This measure covers the retrofitting of existing 2x4 fluorescent troffers with LED retrofit kits, and the existing 1 x4 fluorescent troffers with LED troffers.
The proposed LED fixtures feature equivalent or greater lighting output than the existing fixtures, thus maintaining or improving lighting levels while reducing energy consumption 45%. Additionally, they offer truer color rendering values than conventional area lighting methods. LED lights also reduce maintenance costs associated with bulb and ballast replacement due to their significantly longer lifespans (100,000+ hours). LED fixtures create less waste heat, reducing the cooling load on their respective buildings. All proposed LED fixtures are rated Premium in the Design Lights Consortium (DLC) Qualified Product Lists.
Conventional lighting systems are manually controlled on/off by users, which leaves a significant margin for wasted energy. Users will leave lights on in unoccupied rooms, and lighting fixtures will over -light spaces.
In order to meet Title 24 standards, a wireless lighting controls package proposed in this audit will include high -precision occupancy sensors that will turn off their dependent lighting fixtures when they sense that their space is unoccupied.
On -bill savings are based on the actual annual operating hours of the buildings. Refer to Attachment A for more details on the actual operating hours of the different areas of the facility. This measure is eligible for incentives under SDGE midstream incentive types — Interior LED 1x4 Troffers and Interior LED 2x4 Troffer Retrofit Kits.

EEM 2 — Upgrade Surface Mount and High Bay 4' linear fluorescent fixtures to LED The gym is lit primarily by 2'x4' 6 lamp linear fluorescent high bay fixtures. Another 1'x4' linear fluorescent fixture is found in a storage area. The lights are currently controlled by an on/off switch. This measure covers the retrofitting of existing fluorescent high bay and surface mount fixtures with LED fixtures. All proposed LED fixtures are rated Premium in the Design Lights Consortium (DLC) Qualified Product Lists.
The gym High Bay fixtures include integrated occupancy sensors to further increase savings and to meet Title 24 compliance standards. These sensors are designed for High Bay Applications and have the ability to dim or shut off after a predetermined amount of time without activity.
On -bill savings are based on the provided usage schedule for the gym. The gym is used primarily on the weekends for basketball and volleyball games and sees the most usage from November to April. Refer to Attachment A for more details on the actual operating hours of the different areas of the facility. This measure is eligible for incentives under SDGE midstream incentive type — Low/High Bay Fixture.

Energy Audit Report I City of Vista Jim Porter Recreation Center Ql"NDAG EEM 3 — Replace existing HID exterior fixtures with LED exterior fixtures The exterior spaces are illuminated by fixtures containing high pressure sodium lamps and LEDs. This measure covers replacing incentive -eligible exterior wall pack fixtures with equivalent LED fixtures.
LED exterior fixtures offer a number of advantages over standard fixtures. In addition to requiring roughly 65% less energy, they also produce less glare and uplight than their HID counterparts, creating a more comfortable environment for nearby residents and reducing overall light pollution. The longer life span of LED fixtures (100,000+ hours) is especially advantageous at reducing maintenance costs for hard -to -reach elevated fixtures such as wall packs and flood fixtures. The truer color offered by the LED fixtures also increases nighttime visibility, improving nearby safety and security. All proposed LED fixtures are rated Premium in the Design Lights Consortium (DLC) Qualified Product Lists. California Title 24 requires exterior luminaires under 24 feet to be controlled by a motion sensor to automatically reduce lighting power 40-90 percent during vacant periods. The proposed lighting fixtures are equipped to with integrated motion sensors in order to meet this requirement and to further increase savings.
On -bill savings are based on a dusk to dawn schedule. Refer to Attachment A for more details on the actual operating hours of the different areas of the facility. This measure is eligible for incentives under SDGE midstream incentive types — LED Wall -Mounted Area Lighting.

EEM 4— Unincentivized LED Upgrades
Miscellaneous lighting around recreation center is provided by inefficient recessed fixtures that do not fit into existing SDGE incentive groups. Although this measure is not incentivized, it was still proposed due to the high potential energy savings and lighting quality improvements offered by LED fixtures. The proposed TRC Energy Services 9 September 28, 2018
10/03/2024 D 1 Page 109 of 145
Energy Audit Report I City of Vista Jim Porter Recreation Center Q"NDAG
LED lights reduce energy consumption by 63% compared to their standard -efficiency counterparts, reduce maintenance costs by offering much longer lifespans of 50,000+ hours, and reduce the cooling loads in buildings by creating less waste heat. Proposed LED fixtures are rated in the Energy Star (ES) Qualified Product Lists.
On -bill savings are based on the actual annual operating hours of the buildings. Refer to Attachment A for more details on the actual operating hours of the different areas of the facility. This measure not eligible for incentives.
Representative unincentivized standard fixtures and their LED equivalents EEM 5 — Replace existing HID Ball Field Fixtures
The sports fields adjacent to the recreation center are illuminated by inefficient 1000-watt metal halide flood lights. These lights are controlled by a Musco Controls System and operate from dusk to 10:30pm.
While SDG&E does not incentivize Architectural Flood and Spot Luminaires, this measure was still proposed due to the high potential energy savings and lighting quality improvements offered by LED fixtures. Implementing this measure could reduce energy consumption by about 60% compared to the Metal Halide flood lights currently in use and reduce maintenance costs by offering much longer lifespans of 100,000+ hours. In the case of field lighting, a typical one -for -one replacement is not always recommended or required. It is suggested that the City of Vista request a lighting design from the lighting vendor prior to the installation of the new fixtures. This could further reduce the quantity of fixtures, while improving implementation cost and energy savings. On -bill savings are based on the described field operating hours of 1,218 hours per year. Refer to Attachment A for more details on the actual operating hours of the different areas of the facility.

2.9 Advanced maintenance strategies can enable an AC unit to operate at or near its optimal efficiency. This measure accounts for the quality maintenance to be done to all the existing package units, a total of 16 units, in order to increase their performance. This measure follows the recommendations of the highest available industry standard —Standard 180— and ensures the units maintains that level of performance for the life of a multi -year Maintenance Agreement.
Refer to Attachment B — Mechanical Calculations for more detailed information on the existing HVAC equipment of each building, as well as calculation methodology.
The EEM accounts for the following submeasures:
Refrigerant Charge Adjustment
This sub measure involves refrigerant charge correction to nonresidential direct expansion (DX) air-cooled HVAC units. When an HVAC unit's refrigerant charge does not meet the manufacturer recommended levels it results in a decrease in the unit's energy efficiency ratio (EER). Some units may be undercharged, which can result in decreased power draw but potentially longer run times. Other units may be overcharged, which can result in increased power draw but potentially shorter run times. In either case, energy savings can be achieved by correcting refrigerant charge to optimum levels based on the manufacturers' specifications. The energy savings and costs of the EEM were determined based on PGE work paper PGE3PHVC160 (Refrigerant Charge Adjustment (RCA)).
Air flow Adjustment
When a building has balanced air flow, it means every room receives the right amount of air in order to ensure that it remains at an ideal temperature throughout the year. Along with keeping members of the building comfortable, correctly balanced airflow has the dual bonus of improving energy efficiency and reducing utility spending. This can be done by many ways, such as adjusting the system dampers, or the small levers located on the round branch ducts. The energy savings and costs of the EEM were determined based on Southern California Edison (SCE) work paper SCE17HCO29 (Residential HVAC Quality Maintenance).
Evaporator & Condenser Coil Cleaning
Dirty or fouled evaporators and condensers restrict air flow, reduce heat transfer efficiency and compressor efficiency, and can increase compressor run time. Coil cleaning eliminates air blockages between fins and can remove dust, grime, and other contaminants from the fin and tube heat transfer surfaces thus improving heat transfer efficiency, decreasing compressor run time, and increasing efficiency TRC Energy Services 11 September 28, 2018

4.3 The package HVAC units currently serving Recreation Center are older than 10 years but are still in good condition and are not recommended to replace at this time. The supply fans serving these units currently operate at constant speed and provide conditioned air to the zones during occupied hours. The supply fan motors are inefficient and are a good candidate for replacement.
This measure proposes replacing the supply fan motors with new intelligent switched reluctance type smart programmable motors. These motors can be programmed based on the zone thermostat to modulate the speed down to 30% once the zone setpoint is met.
The savings of these EEM were developed through the use of the representative building eQuest model developed (See Attachment D). The EEM applies to five package units, described in the table below. This TRC Energy Services

3.2 The Jim Porter Recreation Center is conditioned by several packaged AC and Heat Pump units with several associated thermal zones. Currently, the zones are scheduled to maintain their occupied cooling and heating setpoints irrespective of their occupancy levels. This measure recommends implementing zone setback controls based on the occupancy.
As a part of this control strategy, the proposed lighting controls system will provide occupancy inputs to the new smart thermostats. If no occupancy is detected for a predetermined amount of time, the control system will increase the temperature set point to 78°F during cooling mode and lower the setpoint to 680F during heating mode, and force the associated HVAC supply fans to their minimum flow set point. The proposed occupied setback temperature set points will be programmed such that the zone can be brought back to occupied mode temperatures to prevent any discomfort to occupants. Savings are realized by reduction in cooling and heating energy when zones are unoccupied. The costs for this measure include labor and material for installing the ceiling mounted occupancy sensors, new programmable thermostats, and integrating the proposed lighting controls into the thermostats to send occupancy data, in addition to programming of the actual setback controls.
The savings of these EEM were developed through the use of the representative building eQuest model developed (See Attachment D). This measure is eligible for incentives under the SDG&E targeted solution "HVAC — Controls/Controlling Equipment". Unit AC-4, which serves the Dance Studio was not included in this measure, since it is used sparingly and therefore would not have a significant impact on the energy savings.

Residential Tree/Pollinator Plant Giveaway Program Policy Program
This policy describes the City of Vista's Residential Tree/Pollinator Plant Giveaway Program (Program), which provides trees and pollinator plants free of charge to residents of Vista that meet Program requirements.

"I agree to hold harmless the City and each officer and employee thereof from any and all claims, demands, losses, damages or expenses that applicant may sustain or incur resulting from the City's Residential Tree/Pollinator Plant Giveaway Program." VII. Tree Steward Pledge
Experts agree that a newly planted tree typically needs one year for each inch in diameter of the trunk to regain a normal root system. For example, a three-inch diameter newly planted tree will need at least three years in the ground to become fully established. As part of the application, Program participants must agree to the following:
T&M72-024' D 1 Page 120 of 145
"I pledge to plant my tree using the best practices videos on the City's website, paying special attention to site placement, using the tree's root flare to determine proper planting depth, and potential conflicts and/or conditions that may affect the tree's health as it establishes and grows into maturity.
I pledge to water my tree regularly (10-15 gallons per week for a period of up to 5 years) to help it fully establish and grow strong.
I pledge to maintain a watering basin at the base of my tree, and I will keep this area free of debris.
I pledge to keep my tree properly staked for a period of two years before removing them, so its trunk doesn't slant while its roots are growing and forming a strong foundation.
I pledge to monitor the health of my tree and will contact a certified arborist or tree expert for guidance as necessary."
VIII. Young Tree Care Best Practices
All trees start small and much of a tree's success and development is determined in its first five years during a period referred to as young tree establishment. During this time, the tree is spreading critical roots and branches, adapting to environmental conditions (like water availability), and gaining stability from interactions with winds and storms/drought. Therefore, young tree care activities are essential — like supplemental watering, prune training, temporary staking, and mulching. Note: many of these activities can taper off to as -needed activities after the tree is established.
For the best possible outcome for your tree, it is highly recommended that prior to the pickup and planting of your tree, you review tree planting guidelines and videos posted on the Tree & Urban Forest Management webpage or attend a tree planting workshop hosted by Tree San Diego.
Consideration of your planting location is extremely important. Contact DigAlert (Call 811) to make sure you are avoiding your underground utilities such as; water, sewer, electrical, and gas lines. Tree roots can be destructive to these underground utilities. In addition to not being in the public right-of-way, your tree should not be planted closer than 5 feet to a sidewalk as tree roots can interfere with the stability of the sidewalk.
