REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 13. <br /> STAFF REPORT Report Number: 94-115OWS <br /> s <br /> AGENDA SESSION DATE May 2. 1994 Report Date: 'i-28-94 <br /> DISPOSITION <br /> Item Description: Municipal Buildings Energy Audit <br /> Administrator's Review/Recommendation: <br /> - No comments to supplement this report i/Y1�� <br /> - Comments attached. <br /> Explanation/Summary (attach supplement as necessary.) <br /> SUMMARY; <br /> Staff met with NSP representatives to review the City's electric use and <br /> discuss new programs offered through their company. A couple of their <br /> programs are readily employable and the City can take advantage of them as <br /> soon as possible. A major program that staff seeks Council input is for a <br /> total energy audit of all City owned buildings. NSP is currently offering <br /> no interest loans to convert less efficient fixtures, pumps, and motors <br /> etc. to highly efficient devices that not only reduce energy demand, but <br /> save the City money. <br /> To briefly explain the process, the City must hire an engineering firm to <br /> conduct the energy audit, (of which 15 % of the total project qualifies for <br /> funding) , convert items having a maximum of 10 years return on investment, <br /> and solicit competitive bids for the project. The Public Works Staff has <br /> already been examining the possibility of making some of these revisions <br /> of the City's well pumps. <br /> Staff will seek more information regarding repayment of the loans and <br /> provide Council th more info when available. The City's limit for one <br /> years loan is t , 000, 0 <br /> /// <br /> Mike Ulrich, Public Works Director <br /> • <br /> RECOMMENDATION; <br />
