AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A TASK ORDER WITH CDG ENGINEERS, INC. FOR THE DESIGN OF LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS IN THE WYDOWN FOREST, HI-POINTE, AND DEMUN AREAS
City Manager Gipson reported that in September 2023, the City of Clayton entered into an on- call services agreement with CDG Engineers, Inc. for Streetscape, Lighting, and Landscape Architecture Services. CDG also did a study on residential street lighting and produced the 2018 Lighting Standards report for the city. The report for the areas of Wydown Forest, Hi-Pointe, and DeMun were identified as areas for improvement, due to maintenance concerns related to the existing direct burial electrical lines. The City of Clayton took over the existing systems in 1987, and the buried lines in these areas have been more prone to failure.

A RESOLUTION INITIATING A BUILDING BENCHMARKING PROGRAM
City Manager Gipson reported that this is a resolution to initiate the collection of building benchmarking information for City-owned buildings and support the development of a policy for expansion of the program to privately-owned buildings the following year.
Building energy benchmarking is the practice of measuring and comparing the energy performance of buildings to industry standards or to similar buildings. By collecting data on energy use, water consumption, and other relevant metrics, benchmarking helps identify opportunities for improving efficiency and reducing operational costs. A benchmarking program allows building owners to track progress and make informed decisions about energy management and sustainability efforts. Ultimately, this practice can lead to significant cost savings, enhanced building performance, and a reduced environmental footprint.
The City of Clayton Sustainability Advisory Committee (SAC) discussed this topic at their September 2023 meeting and voted to forward this recommendation to the Board of Alderman for consideration
Motion made by Alderman McAndrew to approve Resolution No. 2024-10 Initiating a Building Benchmarking Program. Alderman Buse seconded.
The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote.
