Implementation Since 2019, Peninsula Clean Energy has started to offer similar programs to supplement BayREN and PG&E's existing work, and all three organizations have expanded to include contractor trainings on building electrification and EV charging station deployment. Since building electrification projects require contractors skilled in both plumbing and electricity trades, Redwood City will collaborate with the County of San Mateo Office of Sustainability to provide opportunities for these contractors to connect with each other and potentially form implementation teams. Supporting these workforce development programs and ensuring they help develop the expertise of our local workforce, will be critical to ensuring we meet our climate goals, and will help community members gain employment in the growing green jobs sector. Timeline The following timeline lists the major milestones in the CAP implementation process. Progress and updates to this schedule should be submitted to the City Council and the public as part of an annual Plan Implementation Report. Table 7.

Additional resources will be needed over the next 10 years in one-time costs, which includes consultant services, temporary staffing, and infrastructure needs, and in ongoing costs, which includes staff positions and augmenting the City's ongoing budget for CAP implementation. Resources allocated to implementing the CAP will be refined and finalized as part of the annual process for budget development and approval by the City Council. The City's strategy to finance implementation of current and future actions will evolve over time. Strategies the City may consider could include: • Leveraging partnerships and collaborative projects, particularly through Peninsula Clean Energy and Office of Sustainability programs • Developing a differential utility use tax (UUT) to incentivize electrification • Charging carbon impact fees for development projects City of Redwood City Climate Action Plan 69
