Sustainability, Climate, Equity and Resilience Interim Administrator Bethany Morrison and Public

Ms. Morrison provided background on this matter.
Committee Member Ashley Kierkiewicz commented in support and suggested an amendment to
include a report to the Council on the consultant's results.
Committee Member Heather Kimball commented on the funding, noting that these funds don't seem
sufficient due to the number of facilities that need improvement. Ms. Morrison replied that they have
prioritized facilities by the highest energy use and criticality for our County departments, stating there
are three priority levels and the number of facilities in each level, adding they hope to utilize these funds
for Priority Lists 1 and 2.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 58-25, and
recommends its adoption.
