4. CONSENT ITEMS
d. Public Works, re: Award of Construction Contract for North Brand Boulevard Complete Streets Demonstration Project to Sterndahl Enterprises, LLC in the amount of $842,380 + 10% contingency.
e. Public Works, re: Resolution to Accept the Volkswagen Mitigation Trust Fund grant for three battery-electric buses (Beeline buses)
GEC supports City Council’s resolution from August, 2022 for 100% clean energy by 2035 with 10% rooftop solar and storage. GWP’s draft IRP proposes a 2045 plan, which is not 100% clean even in 2045 and also does not follow the resolution on 10% rooftop solar and storage. It is basically a plan to continue doing what Glendale has always done. We oppose this draft IRP and want Council to affirm its 2035 commitment and choose scenario 4, also called the STAG-1 scenario.
