INTRODUCTION
This item presents the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 City Council Priorities for the
Council’s consideration and input. The proposed priorities consist of recommendations
from each department and identify programs that may require a budget enhancement.
City Commission priorities will be presented at a subsequent City Council meeting.
DISCUSSION
This Fiscal Year 2026-27 priority setting session marks the completion of the City’s first
cycle implementing a revised priority setting process, which was approved by the City
Council on May 20, 2025. The new process proved effective, providing department staff
with greater clarity which enabled stronger performance.
As part of a broader process improvement effort, the proposed FY 2026-27 City Council
Priorities document (Attachment 1) has been streamlined to eliminate piecemeal
workplan items, retaining only Strategic Priorities and Goals for a more executive-level
focus. The City is beginning the budget development process for FY 26-27. To further
align with the budget development timeline, specific items that may require budget
enhancement are listed below for consideration:

RECOMMENDATION

This item is an informational item and for discussion purposes.

INTRODUCTION
At the April 22, 2025 City Council meeting, Council adopted the Climate Action and Adaptation
Plan. Beverly Hills’ Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) is the City’s roadmap to prepare
for climate impacts (resiliency), progress towards carbon neutrality, improve environmental health
and quality of life, and position the City as a leader in implementing necessary climate action and
resiliency.
The CAAP outlines measures to reduce the City’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as
identify resiliency measures to protect the City from the effects of climate change (adaptation). In
order to track and monitor the progress of the CAAP and the community’s GHG emissions
reduction, the City is preparing a public web-based monitoring tool called CAPDash. The
implementation of the CAAP is identified as a City Council Priority for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The
CAPDash software is a tool to help staff track the implementation of the CAAP and measure
performance and targets.

BACKGROUND
Prior to the adoption of the CAAP, a GHG emissions inventory and forecast was conducted and
provided guidance in the development of the plan. The emissions inventory provides a baseline
and focused approach on GHG emissions reduction measures. With the results from the GHG
emissions inventory and forecast, City staff worked with consultants to identify GHG mitigation
strategies to reduce GHG emissions across building, transportation, waste, water, and ecosystem
sectors. The measures identified calculate emissions based on the best available methodology
and provide a roadmap to achieve GHG reduction targets of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and

carbon neutrality by 2045. The City is monitoring the progress towards those emission reduction
targets by conducting a biennial GHG emissions inventory, as well as other quantifiable and
qualitative metrics to demonstrate progress of CAAP measures.
DISCUSSION
The City will update the progress of the CAAP in a biennial basis using CAPDash. CAPDash is a
web-based dashboard developed by the consultants, Rincon Consultants, Inc., who helped the
City developed the CAAP. The purpose of CAPDash is to assist with the public communication,
transparency, and adaptive management. With the public facing tool, CAPDash will showcase the
City’s progress and communicate results to the community and stakeholders. Staff will highlight
results and quantifiable metrics through outreach and communication channels. The tool can be
used as a reference when discussing the CAAP’s progress. As CAAP mitigation measures are
implemented, staff will assess the measures by tracking the emissions reduction. If the measures
implemented do not achieve results, staff can adapt the plan to revise measures or add additional
measures. Every five years, the CAAP will be updated to incorporate new climate science data
and projects, shifting community priorities and regulatory mandates, implementation hurdles,
changes in best practices, and advances in technology.
The tool is designed with several methods for measuring CAAP performance: GHG inventories,
quantifiable metrics, and supportive actions. The City will use the CAPDash to track both
community and municipal GHG emissions inventories to show overall progress towards GHG
emissions reduction and targets. The CAAP has several quantifiable metrics identified for
measuring CAAP progress that are not emissions based, such as energy use, water use, number
of electric vehicles, etc. The full list of quantifiable metrics can be found on Attachment 1.
CAPDash will be a centralized location for those quantifiable metrics. Lastly, the CAPDash tool
will be used to also track supportive actions that may not be quantifiable, but still demonstrate
progress of CAAP initiatives. In addition to monitoring GHG emissions, staff can also highlight
any co-benefits from the CAAP measures.
Staff is reviewing and finalizing the dashboard content. Once finalized, the link to the dashboard
will be published on the Beverly Hills website (www.beverlyhills.org/sustainability) later this
summer. Staff will be finalizing a GHG emissions inventory and then present an update to Council
on CAAP progress in 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact. The cost of the CAPDash tool was incorporated into the
contract with the consultants who developed the CAAP.
