Board presses for reduction-focused GHG KPIs; staff cites Evergy data
Summary
Board members urged KPIs that measure reduction (not just inventory) of community greenhouse-gas emissions; staff said the city uses Evergy electricity data for community-level inventories and can break it down by sector.
Board members questioned whether community greenhouse-gas metrics and municipal operational emissions should be kept separate, and whether the KPI should measure progress toward reduction rather than merely catalog emissions. A staff liaison explained the city's current data sources and the mechanics of building an emissions inventory.
"We do work with Evergy to give us data community wide," the staff liaison said, describing how electricity usage is supplied as aggregated commercial and residential figures and noting that natural‑gas data is another inventory component. Members suggested that KPIs could explicitly track reductions for residential, commercial and industrial sectors once the inventory is in place.
The board asked staff to clarify which components are already being tracked and to return with concrete recommendations on how to translate inventory data into reduction KPIs.
