IMPLEMENTATION GRANTS PASS SUSTAINABILITY AND ENERGY ACTION PLAN Implementation The Implementation Section of the Sustainability and Energy Action Plan covers: •Year 1 Implementation Summary •Implementation Benchmarks •Project Prioritization •Projections •Gradual Changes through Immediate Policy •Pathway to 65% Reductions by 2030 •Pathway from 65% to 75% Reductions by 2035 •Pathway from 75% to 90% Reductions by 2040 •Pathway from 90% Reductions to Net -zero by 2045 •Pending Technological Feasibility •Monitoring, Reporting, and Facilitating Good Data •City Staffing and Leadership •Funding and AffordabilityYear 1 Implementation Summary •New Project Standards •Implementing New HR Policies/programs (Project T-3) •Grant Applications for Solar Fields and Microgrids •Begin Charging Station Installation Process •Environmental Purchasing Policy •Evaluate Waste Generation •Tree Management Policies The implementation of the projects within this Plan can be guided by the emissions reduction targets of this Plan (based off a 2021 emissions baseline). These benchmarks are used as a guide for tracking progress in order to meet the ultimate target of net -zero emissions by 2045 .Implementation Benchmarks •65% emissions reduction by 2030 •75% reduction by 2035 •90% reduction by 2040 •Net-zero emissions by 2045 Using these benchmarks, a minimum standard for the projects that will need to be implemented can be established based on their impact towards emissions reductions. In order to select which projects to fulfill the requirements of this overall emissions reductions timeline designed to maximize Plan goal achievement (managing costs, building resiliency, reducing emissions, incorporating sustainability, and establishing a standing committee), projects had to be prioritized. 80
