Board discusses pilots and grant support to test alternative compliance pathways
Summary
Members proposed piloting alternative compliance plans using Sustain Evanston grants and technical assistance (e.g., Slipstream pilots); suggested a $25,000 grant as a sample support amount to fund consultant work for a pilot building.
Members said pilot projects would help the city test ACP forms and decision-making before wide rollout. Speaker 2 suggested using Sustain Evanston grants to support pilots, saying "I think if you get with a $25,000 grant, you know, to hire a consultant," to cover consultant work and preliminary studies. The group discussed recruiting both nonprofit-managed and multifamily buildings identified on the equity-prioritized list as candidate pilots.
Speakers also described past pilot work by Slipstream and IMT; those projects found some buildings expected to need custom ACPs could instead proceed through standard channels. Members agreed to identify a handful of potential pilot buildings and to include pilot outreach in folders for upcoming public engagement.
