Dino further expressed that he does not believe <br />that Xcel will provide the infrastructure until it fails. <br />Betshold said she would work with City staff on the issue. <br />Schlaepfer stated Xcel hasn't been given any directive from that shows they will require all -electric. <br />Geise asked for clarification of why one business owner who owns four restaurants would be given more of a <br />break than another who has a large warehouse with distribution, even if the square footage is the same for <br />both. <br />McCollough responded that with their policy research that the technology for restaurants to use all -electric is <br />not readily available or cost effective, so that industrial and restaurants would not be as strict as other types. <br />Geise expressed concern that the building requirements cannot be sustained or that an owner would need all <br />available space to meet solar requirements and standards. McCollough agreed that the Appendix CC <br />implementation would be difficult to meet. <br />
