Enhance services to the community by investing in County facilities and infrastructure; including roads, buildings, communications, and flood protection.
Summary of objective implementation status (achievements or progress over last year; significant delays or issues, etc.)
From 2021-2023 progress included: The Board of Supervisors approved a reduced space standard of 170 square feet per person, down from 250, for energy-efficient, lower-impact workspaces. This approach aims to cut material use, heating, cooling, and lighting needs, reducing the carbon footprint.
The County is exploring ways to minimize the footprint of a new Government Center and, in 2023, considered leasing a 120,000-square-foot building with an option to purchase. This recently constructed building (2015) includes energy-efficient systems and flexible infrastructure, offering cost and carbon savings compared to new construction.
Ongoing efforts include resilience upgrades, such as the $1.7 million Climate Resilience Fund allocation for the Santa Rosa Veterans Building. The County mandates eco-friendly practices like deconstruction and recycling in all construction projects to reduce waste and emissions.
In 2024 Sonoma Public Infrastructure (SPI) moved forward with projects in several leased buildings and tenant improvements in owned building focus on prioritizing space needs that reflect the changing needs/work patterns of modern workforce as well as modern public service delivery
Key milestone update (include relevant metrics, if applicable)
Coordination and partnership update
This objective has direct impacts on several other objectives:
SPI continues to foster close partnerships with departmental end users
Community, equity and climate update
The new County government center project will be approached with methodology to maximize service delivery to the community with a focus on equity and triple net zero practices to minimize environmental impact.
