City of Carlsbad CAP Implementation Cost Analysis January 2016
1 Executive Summary
As part of the City of Carlsbad's General Plan Update, city staff prepared a Climate Action Plan
(CAP), a new state regulatory requirement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Climate Action
Plan was approved by the City Council on September 22, 2015.
The purpose of this report is to present preliminary cost estimates to implement the Climate Action
Plan during the first five years. The estimates include costs from actions that would not otherwise be
taken without the Climate Action Plan and could be reasonably foreseen, such as staff time and
consultant fees. As a result, the estimates in this report do not provide the total cost of
implementation to the City, rather the initial and foreseen costs of new programs and initiatives. The
table below lists the categories of costs included in and excluded from this analysis.

1.1 Key Findings
• The start-up costs in year one would be approximately $1 million.
• The total cost for years two through five would be nearly $1.6 million.
• By shifting priorities and workloads, it appears that some of the new work related to the plan
could be done within existing staff resources.
• Consultants would be needed for specific technical expertise staff does not have and to assist
in implementation when staff resources are not available.
• A new position, the CAP Administrator, was identified in Chapter 5 of the CAP. This
position will oversee and coordinate implementation and provide annual status reports to
Council and represents a new position.

1.3 Climate Action Plan Administration
Based on a review of the plan, discussions with staff and a comparison to existing citywide matrix
teams and similar programs, the following tasks serve as a starting point for administration:
• Develop a comprehensive implementation plan, including monitoring and reporting;
• Lead a multi-departmental coordinating team;
• Coordinate implementation of measures and provide technical support to participating
departments and divisions;
• Prepare an annual report and present the findings to Council;
• Perform periodic GHG emission inventories; and
• Update and revise the plan as needed based on monitoring activities and adaptive
management.
The citywide matrix team will include city staff from a variety of departments and divisions. The
Environmental Management Division of Public Works will lead implementation activities.
Participating departments and divisions will also perform some administration tasks, such as
monitoring individual actions or collection of energy usage data for example.
1.4 Post-adoption Steps
Next steps to implement the Climate Action Plan include the following:
• Present CAP implementation status to Council and request appropriation of funds
• Hire the CAP Administrator,
• Establish the city-wide team,
• Develop a detailed implementation plan, and
• Identify and pursue external funding opportunities. Appendix C has a preliminary list of
possible funding sources.

City of Carlsbad CAP Implementation Cost Analysis January 2016
2 Introduction
As part of the General Plan Update, the city prepared a Climate Action Plan (CAP). The CAP is
intended to describe how greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within Carlsbad will be reduced in
accordance with State of California emission reductions targets.' The GHG emission reduction
measures included in the CAP will require city action, including some new programs and projects.
In June 2015, the Interim City Manager directed the Environmental Management Division of Public
Works to develop a preliminary cost estimate for implementing the CAP and review associated
work. Environmental Management contracted with the Energy Policy Initiatives Center (EPIC) at
the University of San Diego to assist with the analysis and prepare this report. To our knowledge, a
comprehensive report that analyzes a jurisdiction's costs for initial CAP implementation has not
been publicly available in the San Diego region.
2.1 Purpose of Report
The purpose of this report is to summarize preliminary cost information collected from city staff
and reviewed by EPIC to assist with decision making and budgeting related to CAP implementation.
The main focus of the analysis is to identify, both in hours and related direct costs, the necessary
staff resources, consulting expertise, and other expenses related to outreach and education such as
printing to implement the CAP, and secondly to discuss the capacity for existing staff and resources
to perform the work.
The analysis in this report is limited to new activities required for city staff to implement the CAP.
It does not consider external costs such as future projects included in the Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) or costs to residents and businesses to comply with future CAP-related ordinances. It also
does not consider incremental costs associated with implementation of General Plan policies and
program, even if they contributed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, because these activities
would have been undertaken regardless of the existence of the CAP. Table 1 provides a summary of
the costs included in this analysis.

City of Carlsbad CAP Implementation Cost Analysis January 2016
2.2 Key Findings
Based on the analysis conducted for this report, the following key findings were identified:
• Most of the effort needed to implement the CAP Actions can be conducted by current staff.
Some of the work is already planned, budgeted, or underway; some can be scheduled in with
• minor adjustments to existing workload; and some can be performed with assistance from
consultants. This report provides no discussion or recommendations on the adjustments to
existing workload.
• Consultants are needed for support in technical subject areas in which staff does not have
sufficient expertise, such as the Traffic Demand Management ordinance and electric vehicle
charging station siting plans, and to assist with implementation where staff resources are not
available.
• A newly defined position tide, the CAP Administrator, was identified in the CAP. As
described in Chapter 5 of the CAP, this position will be necessary to oversee and coordinate
CAP implementation. More description of the duties of this position is included in Section
3.2.5 of this report.
• A newly defined interdepartmental team was identified in the CAP. Because of the number
and diversity of departments and divisions involved, a cross-departmental matrix team will
be essential to coordinate communication and tasks to cost effectively implement the CAP.
• The preliminary total estimated incremental cost to the City of Carlsbad to implement the
CAP for the first five years is estimated to be $2,428,257. Of the total $994,686 or 41%
would occur in year one and $1,433,572 or 59% in years two through five. This distribution
of costs is attributable to the prioritization of Actions in the CAP and start-up costs for
certain activities that may continue through year five of the implementation period
represented here.
• The preliminary estimated incremental cost associated with the CAP Administration for the
first five years appears to be the single largest cost category at $1,274,857 accounting for
about 50% of total implementation costs. Of the total CAP Administration costs, $342,686
(27%) would occur in the first year and $932,172 (73%) in years two through five. The CAP
Administrator position would account for most of these costs.
• Additional consulting costs to implement CAP Actions for the first five years are estimated
at $1,008,400, with $613,000 (61%) in year one — primarily to support the short-term Actions
in the CAP — and $395,400 (39%) in years two through five.
• Additional costs (e.g., printed materials for public outreach) totaling $195,000 would be
needed to implement CAP Actions, representing about 16% of the total implementation
cost. About $89,000 (46%) of such costs would be required in the first year and $106,000
(54%) would be needed in years two through five.
• To account for uncertainty regarding the specific work tasks and actual effort that would be
required to complete the CAP Actions, a 10% contingency is recommended and was added
to the total estimated incremental costs based on the analysis completed for this report. This
would bring the total implementation cost for years one through five to $2,671,083.
• Table 2 summarizes the total preliminary estimated incremental costs associated with
implementing CAP Actions broken down by category both with and without the 10%
contingency costs.

2.3 Organization of Report
Section 2 provides background on the Climate Action Plan, including discussion of the role of the
General Plan policies in GHG reduction, the specific Measures in the CAP that this analysis is based
on, and existing programs and activities to reduce GHG emissions that are already being
implemented. Section 3 discusses the methods and processes used to collect and analyze the
preliminary incremental cost estimates provided by staff for the City of Carlsbad to implement the
CAP. Section 4 presents a preliminary estimate of incremental costs associated with implementing
the CAP, including costs broken down by department and a summary of estimated staff effort in
hours. Section 5 provides a summary of the types of opportunities for external funding to support
CAP implementation. Appendix A contains a listing of CAP Measures and Actions, adapted from
Table 51 of the CAP. Appendix B contains additional analysis of the data collected during the
study, broken down by individual CAP Measure. Appendix C contains a preliminary review of
outside funding opportunities for CAP implementation.
3 About the Climate Action Plan
The purpose of the CAP is to describe how GHG emissions within Carlsbad will be reduced in
accordance with statewide targets. Some of these reductions will come from federal and state
policies and programs and will not require specific city action. There are two areas where city action
will directly affect GHG emissions in the community as a whole: General Plan policies and
programs and CAP GHG reduction Measures. These are described in more detail below.
The CAP will also provide a framework to streamline the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) review process for both public and private development projects by identifying the specific
features necessary to reduce a project's GHG emissions. By including these project features, and
implementing broader programs that affect the entire community, it is anticipated that the city will
achieve the GHG emissions reduction targets described in the CAP.
2 Consultant and Other Costs would be categorized as maintenance and operations in City of Carlsbad budgeting
nomenclature.

3.1 Climate Action Planning Process
There are several steps in the climate planning process (Figure 1). The first step is to estimate the
greenhouse gas emissions that occur within the boundaries of the city. This inventory of emissions
serves as the basis for developing reduction targets. A climate action plan contains Measures and
Actions that demonstrate how emissions
levels will reach adopted targets. Once a
plan is adopted, many cities develop an
implementation plan with details and
timelines to execute the Actions included in
the plan. Regular monitoring and reporting
is required to evaluate progress towards the
overall greenhouse gas reductions goals and
to determine which individual Actions are
effective. The results of this monitoring step
can be used to update and modify the
Measures and Actions as needed through a
process of adaptive management to reach
emissions targets.
The City of Carlsbad adopted its CAP in
September 2015. The next step would be to
develop a detailed implementation plan that
would serve as a roadmap for the CAP. The
work conducted for this preliminary cost
estimate, particularly identifying the main
steps necessary to implement specific Actions in the CAP, could serve as the basis for a more
detailed implementation plan.
3.2 General Plan Policies
Some policies and programs in the updated General Plan will. reduce GHG emissions — see Section
3.6 of the Climate Action Plan for more details on these policies and programs.
General plan policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions include:
• Bikeway System Improvements
• Pedestrian Improvements and Increased Connectivity
• Traffic Calming
• Parking Facilities and Policies
• Transportation Improvements
Implementation costs associated with these policies and programs are not included in this analysis.
This report focuses only on new costs associated with Measures and Actions included in the CAP
since General Plan implementation and current programs are already budgeted or projected. It is
important to note that there is overlap between some General Plan policies and CAP policies that
can make it difficult to cleanly separate costs. For example, bike and pedestrian policies in the
General Plan can serve the same goal of the Traffic Demand Management Measure included in the
CAP.

3.3 Climate Action Plan Measures A-0
The CAP identified Measures beyond the policies and program included in the General Plan
necessary to reach emission reduction targets. These Measures are listed in Table 3 along with the
amount of greenhouse gas emissions reductions expected from each.

Each Measure has a list of Actions needed. For example, Measure A, which seeks to promote
installation of residential photovoltaic systems, has the following Actions.
• A-1 Temporarily—for a period of one year—suspend residential and commercial PV
system permit fees, together with a publicity campaign to promote PV systems installation
• A-2 On a continuing basis, ensure that regulatory provisions - such as complying with
regulations for zoning, structure height, permit submittal and review, etc. - do not hinder
residential and commercial PV system installation
• A-3 Adopt an ordinance, similar to those passed by Lancaster and Sebastopol, which
requires new homes to install PV panels to offset a portion of their energy use.
The CAP has 15 Measures, with a total of 40 Actions. Some of the Actions involve discrete items,
such as adoption of an ordinance, and some are ongoing, such a publicizing incentives and rebates.
Each Action has a timeframe for completion or initiation. The timeframes begin upon CAP
adoption and are divided into three periods: short-term (within one to two years), mid-term (within
two to five years) and long-term (five years and beyond). More detail on the CAP Measures, Actions
and their timeframes is included in Appendix A.
Energy Policy Initiatives Center 8
City of Carlsbad CAP Implementation Cost Analysis January 2016
3.4 Current City Programs
City departments are currently implementing strategies for cost reduction purposes that are also
related to CAP Actions and reduce GHG emissions such as energy efficiency in municipal facilities.
The following is a sample of activities already underway that support the greenhouse gas reduction
activities in CAP Actions.
• Action F-1 — Energy Efficiency Retrofit of City Buildings: Public Works Property
Division has developed a plan, funded through the Infrastructure Replacement Fund, for
incorporating energy efficiency in existing city buildings when remodels and/or upgrades
occur.
• Action G-2 — Commission City Buildings. Public Works Property Division has
incorporated commissioning in the design of the newly constructed Safety Training Center
and the Alga Norte Community Park structures. They are including commissioning in the
design and construction of the future Maintenance and Operations Center, Fire Station No.
3, and Pine Ave Park Community Center.
• Action I-1 — Replace Lighting in City Facilities: Public Works Property Division has
already replaced the majority of light bulbs with high-efficiency bulbs.
• Action L-2 — Citywide Electric Vehicle Charging Station Siting Plan: A multi-
departmental team has already taken the first step by engaging Center for Sustainable Energy
to assist in evaluating city-owned facilities and properties for electric vehicle charging station
suitability.
• Action M-2 — Renewable Energy Installation at City Buildings: Public Works Property
Division installed a photovoltaics array at the parking lot at Alga Norte Community Park and
is preparing to install photovoltaics on the roof of the Safety Training Center. Public Works
Utilities Division installed a hydroelectric pressure reducing station at Maerlde Reservoir.
• Action N-1 — Reduce GHG Emissions from Water Utilities Conveyance, Treatment
and Distribution: Carlsbad Municipal Water District has incorporated this Action into
their current programs, including improved water conservation measures, pump replacement
as needed, preventative maintenance, opportunistic elimination of pump stations no longer
needed due to new development, and reduction of imported water supplies through
increased use of recycled and availability of desalinated water.
3.5 Climate Action Plan Administration
Details related to administration are limited in the CAP. Chapter 5 of the CAP discusses several
necessary administrative tasks such as ongoing monitoring and reporting CAP progress, conducting
periodic GHG emission inventories, and developing tools for development project permit review. It
also calls for the city to designate a CAP Administrator and form an interdepartmental matrix team
to coordinate CAP start-up activities and ongoing implementation. Section 3.2.5 of this report
discusses CAP administration in more detail.
4 Process and Method Used to Estimate Implementation Costs
The overall goal of this study was to develop a preliminary estimate of incremental costs associated
with implementing the CAP, specifically the incremental staffing, consulting, and other costs that
would be required to implement CAP Actions. The general steps in the process are as follows:
determine the tasks required to implement CAP Actions, define workload associated with these
tasks, determine whether existing staffing and other resources are sufficient, and determine the level

4.1 Identify Climate Action Plan Tasks
The first step was to identify a set of tasks to adequately represent the expected workload. The CAP
includes Measures, which are high-level goals. Each Measure includes a series of Actions that the
City of Carlsbad will take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions directly or to put in place policies or
programs to reduce emissions. In turn, each Action will have associated tasks, which are not detailed
in the CAP. To better understand the potential workload and more accurately estimate associated
costs, Environmental Management staff identified preliminary tasks for each Action through a series
of meetings with relevant divisional managers and staff representatives. Figure 3 illustrates the
relationship between the CAP Measures, Actions, and examples of implementation tasks.
Figure 3 Hierarchy of Measures, Actions, and Example Tasks
Tasks Defined in Meetings with
Division Managers and Staff Representatives
4.2 Define Workload and Non-Staffing Needs
Once discrete tasks were identified for each CAP Action, it was determined that some Actions
involve similar tasks that could be grouped together by function to increase efficiency. This
grouping also helped to better understand the non-staffing needs for each Action and task. These
functional groups include ordinances, transportation, municipal operations, public education and
outreach, and administration. More detail for each is provided below.
4.2.1 Ordinances
Twelve CAP Actions call for the adoption of ordinances related to new and existing development.
These include the following:
• Photovoltaic systems for new residential and new and existing non-residential buildings;
• Energy audits for residential and non-residential building renovations;
• Enhancements of energy efficiency beyond the requirements of the current Green Building
Code;
Energy Policy Initiatives Center 11
City of Carlsbad CAP Implementation Cost Analysis January 2016
• Zero-emission vehicle charging infrastructure for new residential construction and major
renovations; and
• Zero-emission vehicle parking requirements for new residential developments.
• Solar water heaters and/or alternative energy based water heating systems for new residential
and non-residential buildings; and
• Cogeneration systems for new construction and renovations of large non-residential
facilities.
The Building and Planning divisions of the Community and Economic Development (CED)
Department will lead the effort to draft and process the new ordinances. The tasks associated with
creating ordinances are already a standard practice for CED.
4.2.2 Transportation
Two CAP Actions related to transportation call for the development of a Traffic Demand
Management (TDM) plan and the adoption of a TDM ordinance, respectively. Some of the tasks
associated with these Actions, such as developing a baseline evaluation of existing traffic demand
management features in existing businesses, are also needed to effectively implement some General
Plan policies, therefore there is overlap in work effort. The Traffic and Mobility division of the
Public Works Department will lead the effort to draft and process the new TDM plan and
ordinance.
4.2.3 Municipal Operations
Fourteen CAP Actions relate to the implementation of energy efficiency and renewable energy
projects and programs at municipal facilities, including those operated by Carlsbad Municipal Water
District (CMWD), as well as the development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure Examples
of municipal CAP actions include the following:
• Perform energy efficiency retrofits of city-owned buildings;
• Replace incandescent or halogen light bulbs in city facilities with LED or similar lighting;
• Construct an electric vehicle charging station powered photovoltaic solar panels at a city
facility;
• Prepare a community wide electric vehicle charging station siting plan;
• Construct electric vehicle charging stations based upon the siting plan;
• Update the city's Fleet Management Program to include low and zero-emission vehicles;
and
• Install renewable energy features, such as photovoltaic systems, on city buildings and
parking lots.
The tasks needed to implement these municipal Actions are led by the Property and Utilities
divisions of the Public Works Department, and are or will be incorporated into the standard
infrastructure replacement program and fleet purchasing program. As described in Section 2.4, many
of these tasks, including the formation of a multi-departmental electric vehicle team, are already
underway.
4.2,4 Public Outreach and Education
Efforts by the Communications Department cut across many of the CAP Measures and Actions.
Eleven of the fifteen CAP Measures directly call for conducting public outreach, education and
citywide campaigns. Several associated CAP Actions would require efforts to encourage behavior
Energy Policy initiatives Center 12
City of Carlsbad CAP Implementation Cost Analysis January 2016
change such as conducting projects to reduce emissions and participation in city- and utility-
sponsored programs that would result in GHG reductions. Also, CAP Actions that call for
developing and adopting an ordinance, will also require significant public outreach and education
efforts. The anticipated tasks related public outreach CAP Actions would include:
• Develop web-based and other promotional materials to publicize grant opportunities,
incentives and rebate programs for residential and non-residential energy efficiency, building
commissioning, cogeneration, and solar water heaters and heat pumps;
• Facilitate stakeholders meetings for CAP related ordinances;
• Host workshops on greywater and rainwater collection systems; and
• Conduct a citywide "Energy Challenge" campaign.
The tasks needed to implement the public outreach-related Actions will be led by the
Communications Department. Other departments or divisions will be involved with some public
outreach tasks, such as Public Works — Utilities and CED — Building for the greywater workshops
and CED — Planning for the ordinance stakeholder meetings.
4.2.5 CAP Administration
Based upon a review of the CAP, the climate planning and adaptive management cycle, discussions
with staff, EPIC's research and expertise, and a comparison to existing city-wide matrix teams and
similar programs', the following tasks serve as a starting point for CAP administration:
• Develop a comprehensive implementation plan, including monitoring and reporting;
• Lead a multi-departmental CAP coordinating team;
• Coordinate implementation of CAP Measures and provide technical support to participating
departments and divisions;
• Develop guidelines for permit processing and CEQA procedures related to evaluating
project level GHG emissions and the necessary emission reduction requirements;
• Collect monitoring information on CAP implementation, including progress on completion
of tasks associated with CAP Measures;
• Prepare an annual report and present the findings at public hearing(s);
• Perform periodic GHG emission inventories;
• Research best practices and make recommendations for adaptive management; and
• Respond to public inquiries and represent the city at regional, state and national meetings
and symposia.
The Environmental Management Division of Public Works will lead the tasks needed to administer
the CAP. The other departments and divisions participating in the multi-departmental team will
include the Building, Planning, Housing and Neighborhood Services and Economic Development
divisions of the CED Department, the Traffic and Mobility, Property, and Utilities divisions of the
Public Works Department, the Finance Department, the Information Technology Department, and
the Communications Department. The participating departments and divisions will perform some
CAP administration tasks, such as monitoring individual Actions or collection of energy usage data.
3 Existing programs in the City of Carlsbad that implement, monitor, report annually, lead a city-wide matrix team, liaise
with regulatory agencies, and collaborate with community stakeholders include the Habitat Management Plan, Recycling
and Trash, and the NPDES storm water protection programs.
Energy Policy Initiatives Center 13
City of Carlsbad CAP Implementation Cost Analysis January 2016
Also, the CAP Administrator will assist departments and divisions with implementation of some
Actions; however, most of the CAP administrative tasks are new to the city's lines of business.
4.3 Establish Preliminary Cost Estimates
Once the tasks were identified, and Actions were grouped for efficiency, Environmental
Management staff and EPIC conducted a series of meetings with divisional managers and staff
representatives to further refine tasks and estimate costs. In cases where staff time and expertise to
complete a task were inadequate, or in the case where staff time could not be reprioritized,
consultant support was identified as necessary for implementing CAP activities. Similarly, staff
determined the non-staffing resources needed and whether those resources already existed in the
City of Carlsbad. In cases where additional non-staffing resources were needed those costs were
identified and included in the overall total.
4.4 Quality Control and Update to Departments
Quality control and data validation occurred at several stages. Primary validation occurred after total
estimated costs were collected. EPIC and Environmental Management then performed an internal
quality control check, updated Human Resources, reviewed costs with Department Directors, and
reviewed the overall methodology with Finance. EPIC conducted a final review of all costs prior to
inclusion in this report and presentation to the Interim City Manager.
5 Preliminary Estimate of Incremental Costs
This section summarizes the results of the analysis to estimate preliminary incremental costs to the
City of Carlsbad associated with implementing the CAP Actions. It contains a brief summary of the
preliminary estimated costs by department, by expense category, and overall costs. As noted above,
costs are broken down into two timeframes: first year and years two through five. Because there is
limited information about the specific tasks that would be required to implement the CAP Actions,
the estimates presented here are based on reasonable assumptions about the work to be performed.
Due to this uncertainty, the cost estimates for years two through five are less certain than for the
first year, and therefore, total preliminary incremental costs are presented along with a second total
that includes a 10% additional contingency.
Consulting costs are allocated to the year in which they are encumbered. For example, if a
consultant's contract is for a defined period of time with no extensions, and all of the funds are set
aside in the first year, then costs are allotted to the first year even though some expenditures may
occur in later years.
The analysis in this report assessed the level of effort required to perform the tasks related to the
CAP Actions, including the staffing needs measured both in hours and full-time equivalent,
consultant time when staff availability or expertise was limited, and other costs such as software,
equipment, printed materials. Even where no new staff are required, hours are provided to illustrate
the potential work effort necessary to implement the associated CAP tasks.
Several cost categories were not quantified in this analysis. For example, there are instances where
lost revenue would be experienced, such as Action A-1 that calls for waiving solar permitting fees
for one year. The costs presented here also do not include any of the capital costs associated with
city projects that may be done in support of the CAP Action. Lastly, enforcement costs related to
new ordinances included in the CAP were not included here but will be determined in the future, as
Energy Policy Initiatives Center 14
City of Carlsbad CAP Implementation Cost Analysis January 2016
necessary. Additional cost analysis is provided in Appendix B, including a breakdown of costs by
CAP Measure.
5.1 Cost by Department
The analysis in this report estimated incremental costs for each affected department to illustrate how
the workload would be distributed across the City of Carlsbad organizational structure. Table 4
summarizes this breakdown. The highest percentage (65%) of total estimated incremental costs for
CAP implementation are associated Public Works. As indicated in the breakdown of these costs the
majority (53% of total costs) is for the CAP Administration and Monitoring, most of which will be
conducted by a new CAP Administrator position to be located in Environmental Management. The
Communications Department, which would play a significant role in conducting education and
outreach activities across a wide range of the CAP Actions, accounts for just over 30% of total
incremental costs. Potential costs associated with the Finance and Information Technology
Departments were not included in this analysis but determining what cost impacts could accrue to
those units would improve the overall preliminary estimate.

Total with 10% Contingency $1,347,343 $1,109,240 $214,500 $2,671,083
5.2 Overall Cost
The overall incremental cost to implement CAP Actions for the first five years is estimated at
$2,428,257. Of this total, $1,008,400 is associated with consulting support in areas where current
staff did not have expertise and $195,000 was for other costs such as printed materials for public
outreach (Table 5). Additional staff, which represents the full-time CAP Administrator position
described in Section 3.2.5, would account for 50% of total estimated incremental costs over the first
five years, followed by consultants at 42%, and other costs at 8%. Just over 40% of the incremental
costs would be incurred in the first year. This is due to the start-up nature of many of the activities
and the fact that some consultant costs are allocated to the first year because that is when the funds
would be encumbered.

Table 6 summarizes the estimated staff effort required to implement the Actions included in the
CAP. It contains the estimated hours to complete the tasks associated with CAP Actions and
separates out the level of effort expected from existing staff and the incremental effort above what
current staff can absorb. In the first year, it is estimated that a total of 3,475 hours of staff time, or
2.2 full-time equivalents would be required. For years two through five, the level of effort for CAP
implementation is estimated to be a total 11,935 hours, equal to an average 1.9 full-time equivalents
per year over the four years. Across the first five years, this would represent an average of 2 FTE
annually. Of the total hours, new staff would be required for 2,012 hours (1.3 FTE) in year 1 and
6,408 hours for years 2-5. This additional effort represents CAP Administration tasks and the
Administrator position, which on average over the first five years of CAP implementation would
require just over 1 FTE.

4 Full-time equivalent was determined by dividing total hours by 1,551 hours. This is the available working hours for a
management position provided by the Finance Department. Therefore, the quantity of hours presented in Table 5 and
the FIE presented in Table 6 would not include the additional hours that would constitute work activities to bring a
related management position to the full quantity of hours associated with an FTE. Year 1 FTE equals total hours divided
by 1551 hours per year. Years 2-5 FTE equal total hours for years 2-5 divided by 1551 hours per year times 4 years.
Similarly the annual average for all years (1-5) is the total number of hours divided by 1551 times 5 years.

6 Opportunities for Funding to Support CAP Implementation
Funding is available to subsidize costs for implementing most of the CAP Measures and to offset
the activities taken by residents and businesses as a result of CAP Measures and Actions. In many
cases the city can access funding from the same program as residents and businesses. The broad
categories of funding opportunities are: energy efficiency; distributed and renewable energy; energy
project financing; alternative fuels; smart growth and alternative transportation modes, land use,
housing and community development; and other state programs. A preliminary list of possible
funding opportunities is contained in Appendix C

Appendix B Additional Analysis of Preliminary Incremental Costs
The preliminary estimated incremental costs for implementing the CAP presented above were
derived by summing the task level cost information gathered from the participating departments and
divisions. This appendix contains analysis of the estimated cost for each Measure, including total
costs, costs by expense type, total hours, and total FTE. This information will be helpful in planning
short-term resource allocations, budget decision-making, and monitoring CAP implementation
expenditures.
B.1. Estimated Cost by Climate Action Plan Measure
The analysis in this report estimated the incremental level of effort and cost for implementing each
CAP Measure (Table 8). CAP Administration and Monitoring represent the highest estimated
incremental costs, mainly due to the new CAP Administrator position. Note that a portion of these
tasks will be completed by consultants and are additional to the costs for the CAP Administrator.
Consultant and other costs related to Measure D (encourage single-family residential efficiency
efforts), Measure E (encourage multi-family residential efficiency retrofits), and Measure K (promote
transportation demand management (TDM) strategies) each account for 9% of the total estimated
incremental cost over the first five years. Actions associated with Measures D and E include
publicizing available incentives and rebate programs, creating a citywide "Energy Challenge," and
adopting a residential energy conservation ordinance Actions associated with Measure K include
adopting a citywide TDM plan and a related ordinance Also, Table 8 does not include costs for
Measures M and N because related activities are already budgeted and/or existing staff is expected
to complete the work tasks. Capital costs associated with these two Measures are also excluded.

incremental costs are associated with CAP Administration and Monitoring, 42% for consultants, and
8% for other costs. As noted in Section 3.2.5, the CAP Administrator will provide technical support
to participating departments and divisions and this effort may direcdy benefit the implementation of
certain CAP Measures. In Table 7, these costs are not included in the individual Measures but rather
in overall CAP Administration and Monitoring.

B.2. Total Estimated Incremental Effort in Hours
Table 10 summarizes the total incremental effort (hours) to implement CAP Measures for the first
year and years two through five. The largest number of hours is for CAP Administration and
Monitoring activities, which are staff-intensive. The bulk of these hours will occur in years two
through five once implementation and monitoring tasks are underway. Also, several other
departments will conduct monitoring tasks; associated hours are included in the CAP
Administration and Monitoring category. Other Measures have relatively few hours associated with
implementation. This is due to the fact that consultants will be used to augment resources. Also, no
hours were provided by department because many tasks involve multiple departments and there is
not a clear way to allocate hours to each department in such cases.

Table 11 converts the total hours required for each Measure and associated activity to full-time
equivalents (FTE). These totals include hours associated with the CAP Administrator. In year one,
an estimated citywide total of 2.2 FTE of effort would be required to implement cap activities. Of
this total, 1.2 FTE would be additional and 0.9 FTE represents effort to be completed by existing
staff. The estimated average citywide level of effort per year in years two through five would be 1.9
FTE. Over the first five years, the annual average level of effort citywide would be 2 FTE per year, 1
FTE of which is the CAP Administrator position.

program.
C.8. Other
The following resources are relevant to all CAP Measures.
C.8.1 Cap-and-Trade Auction Proceeds (CARB)
Part of the State's comprehensive approach includes the Cap-and-Trade Program, a market-based
regulation that sets a limit on the emissions from sources responsible for 85 percent of California's
greenhouse gas emissions. As part of this program, CARB conducts quarterly auctions where State-
owned allowances, as well as allowances consigned by electrical distribution utilities, can be
purchased. The funds received for the sale of California State-owned allowances are deposited into
the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), and are available for appropriation. The Legislature
has passed a suite of bills that define requirements for the use of the GGRF. All GGRF investments
must reduce greenhouse gas emissions. CARB has developed a concept paper outlining a framework
for the Second Investment Plan.' CARB expects the Second Investment Plan to be released for
public comment in Fall 2015 and adopted by the Board by the end of 2015. The program
appropriated $70 million in 2013-14 and $832 million in 2014-15.
