Both the Environmental Services Division and Metro Transit have set goals of reducing their <br />facility energy purchases by 50% from a 2006 baseline by 2020. The Council will continue to <br />adopt innovative technologies to improve operations and use resources more sustainably. The <br />Council will: <br />• Invest resources to continually reduce energy use in its building and operations and be <br />among the efficiency leaders in the region; <br />• Pursue and invest in local generation of renewable energy for operations, including large <br />scale solar facilities; <br />• Continue its program to reduce inflow and infiltration into the regional sewer system. <br />Excess flows from wet weather into the system consume capacity that could otherwise <br />be used to support future growth; <br />• Adopt technological advancements in the Metro Transit fleet to maximize operational <br />efficiency and reduce fuel consumption through engine improvements, acceleration <br />management, electrification, and other improvements. <br />DRAFT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT <br />Last revised: February 21, 2014 33 <br />
