Budget highlights Service Level Change Summary

 The FY25 budget includes $35K for energy efficiency improvements for buildings participating in the Energy Benchmarking program. The incentives have not previously been offered and are called for in the Accelerating Actions plan (Item BI-10) to be implemented in 2024-2025.  The FY25 budget also includes $125K for a Section 8 Energy Efficiency Grant pilot program set to launch in January 2024. This new program grew from Accelerating Actions plan Item BPP-2, which calls for an energy program related to public housing, which was slated to launch in 2023.  Finally, the FY25 budget includes $75K in incentives to builders who achieve a HERS rating of 52 or better by building to a higher energy standard. This is called for in the Accelerating Actions plan (Item BI-6) and in the most recently adopted Strategic Plan for the City.

Financial Highlights

 Fiscal year 2025 has 115.1% overall increase. This increase is due to the State Legislature eliminating the Emergency Levy. Most Climate Action programs were funded by the Emergency Levy and now these programs are being added to the General Fund.
