AN ORDINANCE relating to the City Light Department; amending Section 21.49.130 of the Seattle Municipal Code to clarify certain contracting details and add a subsection to the Department’s authority to contract for energy efficiency through conservation efforts.
Bill passed and sure will sign it. Please read the report of the Housing, Health, Energy and Workers Rights Committee. The Report of the Housing, Health, Energy and Workers Rights Committee and Item 13 counts 4119224 related to the City Department amending Section 21.40 9.1 37 Pacifica to clarify certain contracting details. And that is subsection two, the department's authority to contract for energy efficiency through conservation efforts. The committee recommends the bill passed. Councilmember Mosquito. Thank you, Mr. President. I'm very excited about items 13 and 14 on our agenda. These two pieces of legislation really came from the incredible work that the Blue Green Coalition has done, bringing together labor and industry that is trying to create a green energy economy and good living wage jobs. I want to thank the folks who have worked on this for over two years, really? Folks from the Bullet Foundation, from the Labor Council, from the Sierra Club, from community at large and from Seattle City Life, who have put a number of provisions into place and piloted efforts to make sure that we are truly creating more energy efficient buildings and thinking proactively about what we need to do to hold up our end of the responsibility. I see. Dennis Hayes here, thank you so much for your incredible work at the Bullet Foundation. And we look forward to these pieces of legislation advancing the commitments that we've put into place already. I would love to speak first to Council Bill 119224 and then 119225. Constable 119224 helps to expand our city's very successful pay for report pay for performance program to a large range of commercial buildings. They are expanding the current effort from 24 months contract to up to 84 months, which is seven years. I want to note that the Seattle City Light intends to make sure that we are paying for 3 to 5 year period with an additional two years to cover time between the contract signing and the project completion. Also, I think it's important to note that the energy savings from this program will continue to contribute to the state's regulatory and City Climate Action Plan targets. Look forward to working with our city and community partners to implement 119224. Very good. Excellent. Any comments? Councilmember Bryant. Thank you. Councilmember Skinner, to thank you so much for your work on this and getting this done. Following on a pilot program that has worked really well. And unfortunately, it's and often is the case, it's can be unbearably hard to pass the right set of regulations to allow people to do the work that we really need to do to meet that kind of clean energy future and our carbon emission goals. I want to thank the amazing folks in the community, Dennis Hayes as mentioned, and a whole host of other folks that have refused to give up on this work when it's hard to get through the regulatory process. And so, Councilman Mosquito, thank you for getting this done. And I look forward to seeing all these projects move forward and seeing how we can't make all the buildings in our city as clean and green as the board center. Very good. We ready to vote?
