Top issues during term (11)(Environment)
Brookside Park stormwater capture project
Met water costs a premium over basin water; more local recharge could reduce rate pressure.
Arroyo Seco tree removals
Eaton Wash Stormwater Capture Project
Project funded by grants including Measure W; long-term maintenance to be grant-funded where possible.
Wildfire rebuilding and gas vs. electric
Speakers estimated all-electric rebuilds save homeowners roughly $6,000-$30,000 versus gas-equipped homes; SoCal Gas incentives reach $10,000 per home.
Arroyo Seco Water Reuse Project DEIR
Recharging the basin could lower costs since imported MWD water carries a premium over basin water.
Tree protection ordinance and PUSD tree removal
Tree watering contract of up to $739,200 over three years supports the urban forest.
PUSD removal of 193 trees
City and PUSD Green Energy Initiatives
PUSD spent about $4.9 million on electricity in 2023; the district estimates $1.2 million in annual savings it missed by using a PPA instead of owning solar.
Plastic Pellet Pollution
You might need to buy a new electric blower, but think of the savings on gas and maintenance!
Solar energy at municipal facilities
Up to 30% cost savings may be available if construction starts before July 4, 2026, under federal tax credits.
Master Street Tree Plan and urban forest
Tree watering contract of up to $739,200 over three years supports the urban forest.
