PRESENTATION  
13.A. Campus Energy Usage - Ian Johnstone  
Capital Projects Energy Analyst Ian Johnstone provided an energy usage overview of campus  
energy distribution to the committee. He went over specifics of the gas and electricity usage on  
campus over the past several years, as well as a preview of campus greenhouse gas contributions.  
Mr. Johnstone emphasized that there was an 18% decrease in total campus greenhouse gas  
emissions from 2015, and that staff is looking to decrease greenhouse gas emissions even more  
in upcoming years. He also went over an energy analysis that Nicor provided for the campus, and  
provided an overview of past and upcoming energy improvement projects.  
13.B. Campus Sidewalk Program - Geoff Matteson  
Facilities Management Supervisor Geoff Matteson previewed the previous sidewalk presentation  
that was brought before the committe in June 2023. He shared two revised courtyard options, and  
emphasized that these are just initial construction estimates. The revised options would focus on  
replacing what needs to be replaced, and would leave room for future landscaping options.  
Member DeSart, Member Cahill, Member Ozog, Member Evans, Member Rutledge and  
Member Zay discussed the maintenance of permeable pavers, breakdowns of the pricing for the  
two revised options, and future landscaping options.
