3. A communication transmitted from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to the creation of a new municipal Renewable Energy and Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) Reduction Revolving Fund (“Revolving Fund”) to serve the City of Cambridge’s (“City”) municipal energy aggregation, and adoption of the proposed new ordinance, Chapter 3.24, entitled “Departmental Revolving Funds.”
Passed to a 2nd Reading

Nov 4, 2019
To the Honorable, the City Council:

I am writing to request that you support the creation of a new municipal Renewable Energy and Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) Reduction revolving fund (“Revolving Fund”) to serve the City of Cambridge’s (“City”) municipal energy aggregation, and that you adopt the attached proposed new ordinance, Chapter 3.24, entitled “Departmental Revolving Funds.” I describe below the purpose and procedures for establishing such a Revolving Fund.

In June 2017, the City launched a municipal energy aggregation plan (“Aggregation”) through which the City aggregates the electricity load of basic service customers within Cambridge and competitively procures electricity on behalf of the participants in the Aggregation. Municipal energy aggregations are governed under M.G.L. c. 164, § 134 and are required to be opt-out programs. The Aggregation brings the benefits of renewable energy, GHG emissions reduction and electricity choice to Cambridge residents and businesses.

Since January 2019, consumers participating in the Aggregation have been charged an operational adder of $0.002 per kWh consumed. The Order issued by the state Department of Public Utilities (“DPU”) approving the City’s municipal Aggregation plan authorizes the City to collect an operational adder of up to $0.002 per kWh. The Order authorizes the City to use the operational adder funds “to support the operational costs of the Program and to support renewable energy projects that create benefits for program participants.”

The City intends to use the operational adder funds to invest in solar energy projects and other renewable energy projects. In order to receive these funds and invest these funds in projects, I request that the City Council create the Revolving Fund. The Revolving Fund would be established under and governed by M.G.L. Chapter 44, § 53E½. The Law Department has drafted the attached proposed ordinance pursuant to that statute for your consideration.

Investing the operational adder funds in solar energy projects will create both environmental (renewal energy) and financial (net metering credits) value. The Aggregation adder is expected to raise approximately $650,000 annually, or a total of $1.3 million during the current supplier contract period (January 2019 - December 2020).

An investment of $1.3 million in solar generation would produce:

• Renewable Energy Certificates (“RECs”) equivalent to the generating capacity of the solar energy project(s).

• Net Metering Credits with a total value of approximately $2 million ($100,000 per year over 20 years, the lifetime of the project.)

For the value of both the RECs (environmental) and the Net Metering Credits (financial) to benefit the Aggregation participants specifically, we propose to:

• Invest $1.3 million in a solar energy project located on a municipal building.

• Deposit income earned from the sale of generated Net Metering Credits annually into the Revolving Fund. Those funds would subsequently be used to finance other solar energy/renewable energy projects and all resulting GHG reductions would be attributed to the Aggregation’s participants.

The proposed procedures for receiving and expending the operational adder funds are as follows:

1. Pursuant to M.G.L. c. 44, § 53E½, City Council action is required to set up the revolving fund and to authorize a spending limit for fiscal year 2020. The City Council must also take action on or before July 1st of each subsequent year to authorize a spending limit for each such year. I request that the City Council adopt the attached proposed ordinance to establish the Revolving Fund and that the City Council authorize a $1 million-dollar spending limit for the Fund in FY20.

2. Once the Revolving Fund has been established, the Aggregation Competitive Electricity Supplier will complete a wire transfer of operational adder funds collected from Aggregation participants to date to the City Treasurer for deposit into the Revolving Fund with future transfers taking place on a monthly basis.

3. The City Treasurer will deposit the funds received into the Revolving Fund.

4. Once money from the Revolving Fund becomes available, the Community Development Department (“CDD”), working with the Department of Public Works (“DPW”) and the School Department, will develop and build one or more solar energy projects on municipal facilities. The steps involved include:

a. Engage a contractor to complete feasibility studies:

i. A feasibility study of the Peabody School/O’Neill Library has been completed. The installation of a solar energy project is technically feasible, but may not be large enough, and with roof replacement necessary, the solar energy project would not be installed until 2021.

Therefore, we are exploring the Graham and Parks School and Russell Youth Community Center as potential sites for 2020 installation. Additional feasibility studies may be required.

ii. Review results with City and School Department officials to select final solar energy project(s).

b. Engage a contractor to design solar energy project(s).

c. Engage a contractor to build solar energy project(s).

d. Solar Energy project(s) are targeted to be completed by the end of the current competitive electricity supply contract for the Aggregation, i.e. by December 2020.

5. Allocation of project benefits to Aggregation participants will be done as follows:

a. Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs):

i. The RECs represent the environmental attribute of the solar energy project(s). Rather than selling them, the City will officially retire these certificates on behalf of the Aggregation. This is done through the New England Power Pool Generation Information System (NEPOOL GIS) tracking system.

ii. A statement can be sent to Aggregation participants annually or at the end of the current competitive electricity supply contract for the Aggregation, verifying that the RECs were retired on behalf of the Aggregation.

b. Net Metering Credits:

i. The Net Metering Credits generated by the solar project(s) will be sold, and income from those sales will be deposited into the Revolving Fund and will be invested in future solar energy or other verifiable renewable energy projects.

For the above reasons, I request that you adopt the attached proposed ordinance to establish the Revolving Fund.

Very truly yours, Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager

WHEREAS: On Nov 11, 2016, the City Council adopted Policy Order #24 “to conduct a traffic safety review of the Brattle Street, Sparks Street, and Craigie Street intersection and report back its findings with recommendations of any immediate and mid-term actions that can be taken to improve the intersection’s safety to the Council,” and
WHEREAS: On June 12, 2017, the City Manager responded with CMA #168 (attached), which analyzed crash data between January 2014 and December 2016 and showed that of the 14 reported crashes during that period, 80% of them involved vehicles exiting Sparks Street southbound colliding with vehicles or cyclists on Brattle Street in either direction; and
WHEREAS: Crashes in this pattern have continued in the almost three years since this analysis was performed, most recently two in August and October 2019, in which vehicles exiting Sparks Street crashed with vehicles on Brattle; and
WHEREAS: Speeding and the lack of speed enforcement along Brattle Street, which west of Longfellow Park becomes primarily residential, has been a longstanding concern among residents and regular users, but Brattle Street is not one of the streets designated to become a 20mph safety zone; and
WHEREAS: While the Traffic Department’s June 2017 memo asserted that a modern roundabout at this intersection would pose challenges, that assessment was later revised based on a consultant’s report in Fall-Winter 2017-18, and a roundabout was the safety intervention recommended and preferred at a well-attended community meeting held on June 13, 2018, at the Armenian Church; and
WHEREAS: The June 2018 presentation cited the City’s Vision Zero and Complete Streets policies and noted that “the intersection geometry makes movement from Sparks Street challenging for people in cars and on bikes because it is 105 feet from the Sparks Street stop bar to the far side crosswalk”; and
WHEREAS: This recommendation seemed promising, and staff were exploring sources of capital funding, but it has been almost 18 months since the last community meeting, and there has been no further public update or follow-up meeting with the neighborhood, which remains very concerned about speeding and the steady number of crashes and many unreported near misses along Brattle Street at Sparks and Craigie as well as at the asymmetrical intersection of Brattle with Appleton and Lowell Streets; now therefore be it
ORDERED: That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to report back to the Council by the end of this term on progress toward identifying a source of funding and a timetable for the design and construction of a modern roundabout at the Brattle-Sparks-Craigie intersection, to share the consultant’s 2017-18 report on the feasibility of a modern roundabout, and to schedule a community meeting in early 2020 to further discuss this project.

WHEREAS: On April 18 and 19, 2018, a majority of student workers who voted at Harvard University voted for their Union, Harvard Graduate Students Union (HGSU-UAW); and
WHEREAS: HGSU-UAW, which represents graduate research assistants and student teaching fellows across Harvard University, entered its second year of negotiations with the Harvard for its first contract; and has not adequately addressed the core issue of the HGSU-UAW; and
WHEREAS: No worker can do their job well without fair compensation, sufficient health and dental insurance, and a fair procedure for adjudicating workplace harassment and discrimination; and
WHEREAS: Eighteen (18) months is more than enough time to negotiate a fair first contract and HGSU-UAW’s bargaining committee has stated their goal is to complete an agreement Fall semester 2019; and
WHEREAS: On Friday, Oct 25, Harvard Graduate Students Union-United Automobile Workers (HGSU-UAW) voted by over ninety percent (90%) to authorize a strike; and
WHEREAS: The City of Cambridge supports the right of workers to unionize and bargain with their employer; now therefore be it
RESOLVED: That the City of Cambridge stands with the majority of Harvard’s student workers’ demand for fair pay, increased benefits and a fair process to protect workers from harassment and discrimination; and be it further
RESOLVED: That the City of Cambridge calls upon the Harvard University administration to bargain a contract with HGSU-UAW that reflects the values of fairness, equality, and justice the University claims to support; and be it further
RESOLVED: That the City Council go on record urging Harvard University and President Bacow to sign a fair agreement with HGSU-UAW and avoid a strike that would be damaging to the workers, their students and the University.

TEXT OF COMMITTEE REPORTS
Committee Report #1
The Ordinance Committee held a public hearing on Oct 22, 2019 at 4:00pm to discuss the proposed Demolition Delay Ordinance.

Attendance: Carlone, Devereux, Kelley, Mallon, McGovern, Siddiqui, Toomey (late), Zondervan

Councillor Kelley opened the hearing at 4:00pm.

Steve Bardige, 55 Stearns Street, one of the petitioners, spoke in support of the proposed ordinance. He made a presentation to the committee which is attached to these minutes.

The presentation explained that there was a high rate of demolitions in Cambridge.

In response to a question from Councillor Zondervan, Mr. Bardige explained that 12 months was selected based on information gathered from conversations with the Historic Commission, City Councillors and a survey of demolition delay ordinances in other communities.

In response to a question from Mayor McGovern, Mr. Bardige explained that any structure in Cambridge that is over 50 years old is covered by the current demolition delay ordinance.

In response to a question from Councillor Mallon, Mr. Bardige explained that there is little to no "hard" data on the negative economic impact of an increased demolition delay period. Councillor Mallon expressed her concern about the potential negative impact on home buyers.

Councillor Kelley opened the floor to city staff.

Charles Sullivan, director of Cambridge Historical Commission, explained that the City of Cambridge implemented a demolition delay in 1979. The Historic Commission automatically conducts a hearing on the 5th month of any delay to determine if the structure should be considered for a landmark designation study. That study can last for 12 months. He explained the executive director of the Historic Commission can make an initial determination of a building's historical significance. He explained that the Historic Commission is supportive of the proposal as written.

In response to a question from Councillor Zondervan, Mr. Sullivan stated that the pressure to demolish is mainly from developers.

In response to a question from Vice Mayor Devereux, Mr. Sullivan stated that if the petition is approved than the commission would have its hearing on the 11th month.

In response to a question from Councillor Mallon, Mr. Sullivan explained that staff can waive the delay in the case of natural disasters and accidents.

Councillor Carlone confirmed that one of the purposes of the demolition delay is to allow negotiations between the property owner, the community and the City.

In response a question from Councillor Zondervan, Mr. Sullivan stated that the Commission has allowed demolition to proceed based in part on the energy saving achieved by the new construction.

Councillor Kelley opened the floor for public comment at 4:53pm.

Alex von Hoffman, 43 Stearns Street, spoke in support of the petition.

Anita McClellan, 50 Stearns Street, spoke in support of the petition.

Marie Saccoceis, 55 Otis Street, spoke in support of the petition.

Charles Hinds, 207 1/2 Charles Street, spoke in support of the petition.

Ruth Ryan-Allen, 48 Fenno Street, spoke in support of the petition.

Marilee Meyers, 10 Dana Street, spoke in support of the petition.

Public comment closed at 5:08pm.

Vice Mayor Devereux stated that she supported the petition.

Councillor Carlone stated that he supported the petition.

Councillor Zondervan spoke in support of the petition.

Vice Mayor Devereux moved to send the petition with a favorable recommendation back to the full council.

The motion passed on the voice vote of three members.

The meeting adjourned at 5:11pm.

1. A petition was received from Stephan Bardige et al, regarding amending the Municipal Code, Title 2, Chapter 2.78.090 subparagraph E and I by changing six months to twelve months twice in each paragraph to permit the Cambridge Historical Commission to delay the issuance of a demolition permit for twelve months.
RESULT: REFERRED BACK TO THE FULL CITY COUNCIL WITH A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION

2. A communication was received from Stephen Bardige, 55 Stearns Street, regarding the proposed demolition delay ordinance

3. A communication was received from Lee Farris, Cambridge Residents Alliance, in support of the proposed demolition delay ordinance

Committee Report #2
The Health and Environment Committee met on Oct 23, 2019 at 10:00am to discuss the status of the next community-wide greenhouse gas inventory and annual reporting of same going forward.

Attendance: Devereux, Zondervan, Kelley (late)

The meeting was called to order at 10:01am.

Councillor Zondervan explained the importance of reducing the city's greenhouse gas emission because of their impact on climate change.

Susanne Rasmussen, Director of Environment and Transportation Planning for the Community Development Department, gave an introduction for the presentations that were prepared by city staff.

Bronwyn Cooke, Sustainability Planner for the Community Development Department, gave a presentation which is attached to these minutes.

Councillor Zondervan opened the floor to questions.

In response to a question from Vice Mayor Devereux, Ms. Cooke explained that the City received reliable data from Eversource for one year because the consultant that the city was using also worked for Eversource. They asked Eversource if they could pull the data for Cambridge.

Ms. Rasmussen explained that Eversource does not parse their data in a way that accurately separates residential and commercial users.

In response to a question from Vice Mayor Devereux, Iram Farooq, Assistant City Manager for Community Development, explained that city staff has been meeting with Eversource for more than a year about collecting this data.

Ms. Rasmussen explained that the City has been having an ongoing conversation with Eversource about their forecasting.

In response to a question from Councillor Kelley, Ms. Cooke stated that she was 75% confident in the accuracy of the 2012 data.

In response to a question from Councillor Zondervan, Ms. Cooke explained the challenges with regard to measuring greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles registered in the city and vehicles that travel through the city.

Ms. Rasmussen explained all of the data that the city analyzes to track motor vehicle usage.

Councillor Zondervan asked about the community choice program as a source of data on electricity consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

Ms. Rasmussen explained challenges related to (data) privacy.

Public comment started at 10:49am.

Sharon deVos, from Mothers Out Front, asked if there were other cities or states that could get emissions data.

Public Comment ended at 10:51am.

In response to a question from Ms. deVos, Ms. Cooke explained that a lot of communities and groups have been requesting different versions of data from Eversource and she believed that Eversource has been trying to find an efficient way to deliver the data.

Ms. Rasmussen further explained that Eversource is also focused on ensuring that the date is accurate.

In response to a question from Councillor Kelley, Ms, Rasmussen explained that the Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance has been useful in gathering accurate data on emissions from buildings.

In response to a question from Councillor Kelley about the presentation, Ms. Rasmussen explained that the city owned buildings that have seen the greatest reductions in emissions are those that have had capital improvements.

In response to a question from Councillor Zondervan, Ms. Cooke explained that based on the city's analysis the buildings covered by the ordinance have seen, on average, a one percent decrease in energy intensity usage.

Ms. Rasmussen stated that existing buildings overwhelm new building in terms of energy usage.

Councillor Zondervan moved to send the following policy order to the full council:
"That the City Manager be and is hereby requested to produce an annual report of key indicators of community wide emissions, and at least every 4 years conduct a full greenhouse gas inventory as part of this report."

The motion passed by a vote of three members.

The meeting adjourned at 11:22am.
