City Council Meeting Minutes April 2, 2019 <br />• Implement Solar Purchase Power Agreement when appropriate <br />Ms. Klein spoke on the Renewable Wind Project and stated the City has <br />already signed contract for supply of 41,707 Megawatt Hours (MWH)/year. <br />23,340 MWH will be used to offset ALL COSM GHG emissions (including <br />vehicles). 14,074 MT CO2e will be saved which equals 100% savings from <br />Baseline and 18,357 MWH would still be available for community use. An <br />application of renewable energy to City GHG reductions is a common <br />methodology for reaching target goals. <br />Ms. Klein spoke on the future proposed Solar Power Purchase Agreement with <br />a contract coming forward in 2022. The San Marcos projected share of solar <br />plant output is 84,927 MWH/year. 39,558 MWH of that can be used in San <br />Marcos (without exceeding the LCRA 15% Intermittent Progressive Power <br />Generation (IPPG) cap). The remaining 45,369 will be sold to the grid but will <br />be available to San Marcos for future growth. This would save 23,854 MT <br />CO2e which is equal to 169.5% savings from Baseline. <br />Direction has been requested of Council for the following items: <br />•Participation in new regional Clean Air Coalition (CAC) 2019- 2023 air <br />quality plan? Consensus from Council is to participate in the new Clean Air <br />Coalition. <br />• CAPCOG has requested COSM to pay $9994 to support implementation of <br />the regional CAC 2019-2023 air quality plan? Consensus from Council is to <br />pay this amount to implement this plan. <br />• Trent renewable wind project alone can offset 100% of Municipal GHG <br />emissions; Council adoption of 100% reduction in municipal GHG emissions <br />through wind project? Council will discuss further at a later time. <br />• Additional measures (building efficiency, site-specific solar) can be <br />implemented at a cost. These costs are not currently included in building cost <br />estimates or bond funding. Council adoption of policies for building efficiency <br />and site-specific solar? Consensus from Council is to have a policy for building <br />efficiency and site-specific solar for new building standards for future projects. <br />4. Receive a Staff presentation and hold discussion regarding shared mobility platforms, <br />specifically dockless electric scooters, and provide direction to Staff. <br />The City Council recessed the remaining Work Session item #4 and Executive <br />Session until the completion of the Regular Meeting due to the time <br />City of San Marcos Page 4 <br />
