Introduced. The Sustainability Manager gave a Power Point presentation. Councilmember Herrera Spencer inquired whether the use of the term "equity" only speaks to the cost of the building or whether the term includes use of the building over time in comparing the cost of electricity versus natural gas for heating. The Sustainability Manager responded staff has found the cost of utility bills for residents will decrease with the use of electric versus electric and natural gas. Farhad Farahmand, TRC Companies stated Alameda Municipal Power's (AMP) rates were reviewed; in Alameda the proposal would save on residential building upfront construction costs and the ongoing bill costs would also reduce compared to a mixed utility.
