CITY MANAGER'S REPORT REGULAR BUSINESS INTERNAL DECARBONIZATION PLAN — UPDATE Sustainability Specialist Kayla Betzold gave a brief background on the Internal Decarbonization Plan. She introduced Brian Goldcrump, Senior Mechanical Engineer, from McKinstry Consultants, to provide an update on the plan. Mr. Goldcrump stated the goal of this plan is to create a roadmap for decarbonization of City assets by 2030, including electrifying mechanical systems, fleet, and equipment; identifying energy efficiency measures; and assisting the City in deciding on the best value between city -owned or utility -owned renewables. The project is about halfway done and they anticipate wrapping up in July. They have reviewed the first set of buildings (Recreation/Senior Center, Library and PD/Court Building) for decarbonization measures, the carbon reduction that would result, utility costs, and construction costs for implementing the measures. A financing workshop was also held to discuss funding and financing options. For the Recreation/Senior Center they concluded there could be 2500 metric tons of carbon reduction opportunities. They are recommending a ground mounted solar array to the south of the building, Heat Pump HVAC, Heat Pump pool and domestic water heating, EV charging stations and other controls. The Rec center all in construction costs would be $12 million for a hybrid system that would remove natural gas except for on the coldest days. Not all of the rec center equipment needs to be replaced so that could be phased over several years. There is equipment that was recently installed and won't need to be replaced by 2030.
