Reading this ordinance, it's so arcane and full of metrics, reporting, committees, training, staffing, etc. It's so very clearly written by a consultant or trade group or something to keep the gravy train going. This would make a D65 consultant blush!

The Council needs to sit down and figure out what the climate goals actually are. Like, upgrading all the buildings is fine, just do that. You don't need two committees to that. You want to force private businesses to upgrade? Sure - just modify the building code and grandfather in old buildings. You don't need this convoluted system that Northwestern is going to get around anyway!
