Here's one piece of info that may help address Commissioner McMillin's questions about bandwidth with our upcoming fiber project on Broadway (construction to start this spring): • 48 -strand fiber optic cable is being installed in one innerduct. At this time, the traffic signal network will use a max of 4 fibers (out of 48) using end -equipment capable of 10Gb speeds. Two additional innerducts will remain available for future use. • Some of the spare fibers in the new fiber optic cable will be available to support other City departments and our Smart City efforts. • Below is our rnicrotrench detail for more info: BIKE LANE IMPROVEMENTS ONBROADWAY r[TY OF Clgl t.?

Given that the cost to complete fiber installations through the microtrenching method is significantly less than through the traditional trenching methods... We hope to expand our fiber optic network through this method (if install/operations go as planned) more effectively in the coming years. Please let me know if there are any follow up questions.

Thanks, cjw From: Eddie Flores Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2019 12:00 PM To: Coleen Wisniewski Cc: Manuel Medrano Subject: RE: Bike Lanes on Broadway Hi Coleen, A point of clarification that I would like to make to your Commissioners is that there will be a "buffer" zone for a majority of the length of the Bike Lanes on Broadway project. This is not a physical separation, but rather a "buffer" area using paint. Our objective is to provide a 3 -foot buffer zone (or area) whenever possible on this project, but in some areas the buffer zone will be reduced to 18 -inches and at some major intersections, there may be no buffer zone (to accommodate right turn lanes). Below is a "typical" detail for the buffer zone that will be going on this project (note that certain section on Broadway will not have on -street parking): BIKE LANE BUFFER OLAGONAL MARKING DETAfL S 91.1"M B"W" MCME LANE ANO Gfh'ERRAL PURPOSE LASE WOE VEHICLE PAWHO IS PEPi.%tTW C.f`FlTERLF3i� i SEE NOTE ( r� f`- 5 FT 41i�111N 11A TE Mk NiAL N.AWZING TO BE tl'SE,U, SEE NOTE - CURS OTEC OR WOE Cr PAW-WNT a MHlTE WAFXWG5 'Mthk]UT b[AfiIcEO PAPt1£SNG STALLS NO SC,4LE NOTE: 15 114 1GNtIJVW FOR BUFFERED AREA WADTH.

AB 117 grants authority to cities, acting as non -profits, to choose their own electricity sources at a competitive price. Local investor owned utilities (SDG&E in San Diego County) are then required to deliver the electricity, maintain the grid, and provide billing to customers. Once a city or county launches a CCA, local consumers are automatically enrolled in the CCA program, but are allowed to ;, t..r-. . p� uu - an' return — pur chasun 1 4- +.. fL.r^.. �4 +L. 5 cict uiu�y uiiuugi, he criginai mve� yr vwiicd uU I y. Once launched, the CCA is funded through electricity profits. Business plans include holding back monetary reserves to stabilize price fluctuations. Delivery through the existing utility company is safe and reliable. The CCA structure provides many benefits to consumers. It allows local control over type and amount of renewable energy purchases as well as use of profits to benefit residents and businesses. Existing CCAs in California have consistently offered cheaper prices than investor owned utilities. Communities are able to tailor their renewable energy purchases to move quickly to cleaner energy. Consumers who rent may not have access to electricity bill savings from solar panels or other energy saving -upgrades will still have access to clean electricity at reasonable rates through CCA. Solar panel owners typically have gotten better prices from CCAs for excess electricity they generate. And, critically important, greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced as increased cleaner energy is being provided by CCAs. Since 2010, nineteen CCA city or county programs have been providing many benefits to consumers across California, including Soiana Beach, the first operating CCA in San Diego County. The City of San Diego has already completed its feasibility study and anticipates launching their new Community Choice Aggregation program in 2021. Encinitas, Oceanside, Carlsbad and Del Mar will be getting results soon from a joint CCA feasibility study. And now, Chula Vista and La Mesa have taken the important first steps toward realizing their respective Climate Action Plan goals of 100% clean energy by 2035.

Often, we do not really know how to take action. The Chula Vista Climate Action Plan, maps the way for us all to work together toward a better and sustainable life in Chula Vista. "The City of Chula Vista is the second-largest municipality in San Diego County and located at the center of one of the richest cultural, economic and environmentally diverse zones in the United States. This natural environment helped City leaders recognize the value of preserving the environment for future generations and taking early action. Starting in 2000 with the adoption of the Carbon Dioxide Reduction Plan (CO2 Reduction Plan or "Climate Action Plan') which was the first Climate Action Plan (CAP) adopted in San Diego County and continuing over the next 17years, new plans have been created to further incorporate measures to mitigate (2008) and adapt (2011) to the climate change impacts within our community. These plans made possible a number of communityshared benefits such as utility savings, better air quality, reduced traffic congestion, increased public health, local economic development - improved quality of life - clean water, clean air, and clean land. "These actions were recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2014 when they awarded the City the Organizational Leadership Award for Climate Leadership. But as a growing city, reducing total emissions has been a challenge. Since the first greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory in 1990 the population has increased 84 percent but GHG emissions have only increased 42 percent, which has caused the per capita emissions to decrease 23 percent to 6.1 metric tons (MT) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per person. The state has set a draftgoal of 2 MT CO2e per person by 2050 so the City will have to keep advancing to meet these ambitious goals." - excerpt from the Executive Summary, 2017 Chula Vista Climate Action Plan Note: The City measures GHG emission in CO2e, or carbon dioxide equivalent, which is a standard unit for measuring carbon footprints. It shows the impact of each different greenhouse gas (such as CH4, N20, etc.) in terms of the amount of CO2 that would create the same amount of warming. A common measurement of GHG emissions is denoted as metric tons (MT). Chula Vista and La Mesa Will Conduct a joint PeaslUlll y study vi Community Choice Aggregation To meet the ambitious goals of the 2017 Chula Vista Climate Action Plan, an important next step for the City of Chula Vista is to conduct a feasibility study of Community Choice Aggregation in 2019. This study will determine the best options to meet the Chula Vista Climate Action Plan goal to supply 100% clean energy (renewable electricity) to residents and businesses by 2035. The cities of Chula Vista and La Mesa will partner on a joint study to assess the viability of Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) in their respective communities. Under a CCA, residents and businesses have the opportunity to choose who will purchase energy on their behalf - either the CCA or the incumbent utility (San Diego Gas & Electric) - and the renewable content of their electricity. A feasibility study is the firststep to determine whether such a program would address the climate and clean energygoals of each city. -excerpt from the joint Press Release, October 8, 2018 Chula Vista and La Mesa will share the cost of the feasibility study of Community Choice Aggregation, which will start in early 2019 and take about 8 months. Funding for the study was approved earlier by the City Councils of Chula Vista and La Mesa: When feasibility study results are complete; each city will individually determine next steps, including possible additional studies, towards meeting their clean energy goals. 2019 Proposed Sustainability Commission Agenda Items Below is the proposed schedule of items City staff plans to bring to the Sustainability Commission for calendar year 2019. The list consists of projects assigned to staff by City Council and the City Manager and discussion topics the Commission approved as a workplan during the September 2018 meeting.
