The Sausalito Sustainability Commission panel is calling on the City Council to keep pressing forward on environmental policy goals.

The commission — a council-appointed advisory body on the effects of climate change, fossil fuel emissions, sea-level rise and waste reduction — gave a presentation on goals for the upcoming year during the council’s meeting on Tuesday.

The commission is urging the council to adopt the “countywide building electrification roadmap,” a plan to transition municipal buildings to all-electric and zero-emission structures. It is also asking the council to include green building codes set by the county as part of the city’s annual building code update.

“We ask you to please approach every decision you make as a triple line proposition, taking the technology, the economy and equity into account,” said commissioner Mark Palmer, a green building specialist.

The plan includes collaboration with the Sausalito Chamber of Commerce; continuing to prioritize the city’s shoreline adaptation plan; and potentially funding research on recycling, composting and green infrastructure.

Councilmember Melissa Blaustein said bringing forward green building codes as a council agenda item should be a priority.

“It’s another opportunity for us to actually be ahead of what the state is already doing to require us going forward so we can be an example, as we were with the single-use plastic ordinance to the county, and to others on some of the things in the electrification roadmap,” she said.

The commission also touted gains in sustainability goals over the past two years. Transportation accounts for 63% of greenhouse gases, Palmer said. In response, the city has installed two electric vehicle charging stations at City Hall that provide 20% revenue sharing to the city.

The council recently approved a series of energy conservation measures for city-owned buildings, estimated at $1.9 million for design and construction.

City officials plan to update utilities such as heating, water and lighting to increase efficiency and reduce costs to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

The city’s climate consultant, Climatec, has recommended upgrading all lights to LED and adding solar panels to the MLK Campus and police building.

Upgrades to the MLK Campus, a six-building property leased out by the city, are expected to cost $986,000. Police station improvements are estimated at $429,000.

Sustainability proponents have said the updates could save the city between $3.1 million and $6.9 million over the next 15 years. In the first five years, savings are estimated at $770,000.
