The reported emissions decline reflects several factors, including less coal-based electricity, reduced heating oil use, and cleaner vehicles and buildings; staff noted that pandemic-related slowdown may also have contributed. The city’s compost drop-off program collected 7.7 tons, five additional electric fleet vehicles are now leased, and a second compost site and solar power purchase agreement are in progress. No new business or major policy action was approved.
