File Number: 15-698 <br />Councilmember Reed indicated that in many areas, light doesn't hit streets because trees <br />block the street lights and that well -lit streets provide for a walkable City. How would the new <br />LED lighting address that challenge? D. Pollart answered that as lights are replaced, trees <br />that are identified as blocking the light will be trimmed to allow light to flow to street. Specific <br />safety standards will be applied and will be tested before and after replacement. <br />Councilmember Lopez asked how would the proposed changes by Climatec incorporate the <br />climate action plan. In the next report to Council, specifics on how the proposal addresses <br />climate action plan as well as state mandates for reduction of emissions, water conservation, <br />etc. will be addressed. <br />Mayor Cutter said that going forward, we will have a baseline so as to analyze energy use with <br />new facilities or upgrades to current facilities. She recommends working with the School <br />District to learn of best practices and experience on monitoring and implementation of new <br />lighting. Adjustments will be made to the agreement to account for changes in facilities. The <br />Mayor was concerned about training and D. Pollart assured that staff is fairly well trained for <br />the specified equipment. <br />Committee Recommendation for City Council Consideration <br />The Committee recommends bringing the update on the energy efficiency project to the full <br />City Council in February 2016. <br />2.A. Discussion Regarding Capital Improvement Program <br />K. Cooke briefly discussed the process of using a triple bottom line; economics, environmental <br />and social issues to decide on particular projects for our CIP program. The goal being the <br />development of six-year Capital Improvement Program. <br />N. Thom provided a brief status update of current CIP projects and introduced a proposed <br />CIP project selection process consisting of the following: <br />1. Score projects in 8 categories <br />2. Weight scores to emphasize current priorities <br />3. Prepare detailed scopes and estimates for top scoring projects <br />4. Propose projects based on score, cost, and funding availability <br />5. Discuss project list with Council and modify as needed <br />The 8 categories and the category weighting process were reviewed. <br />1. Population Served <br />2. Economic Development Impact <br />3. External or Internal Mandate <br />4. Fiscal Impact <br />5. One-time Funding Leverage <br />6. Protection of Existing Facilities and Lifespan <br />7. Liability Risk, Public Health and Safety <br />8. Quality of Life <br />Councilmember Reed asked staff why the Committee is being asked to score or categorize <br />projects such as ADA Ramps and why are they on the CIP list if such projects are mandated. <br />City of San Leandro Page 4 Printed on 111212016 <br />
