Compliance timeline
Adopted Dec 1, 2025 · deadlines run through 2036Positions are drawn to scale. The ordinance sets the annual benchmarking deadline at May 15, but the city extended the first reporting year by up to 120 days, which is why the report marked in red is due September 15, 2026, not next spring.
