AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF HOMER, ALASKA, AMENDING THE FY 2019 REVOLVING ENERGY FUND TO PROVIDE FOR LIGHTING UPGRADES AT SIX CITY BUILDINGS IN THE AMOUNT OF $69,175.

WHEREAS, The City Council authorized the completion of a lighting energy audit on six City buildings (City Hall, Animal Shelter, Airport Terminal, Library, Harbormaster Building, and Public Works); and

WHEREAS, The audits detail the work necessary and the benefit of upgrading the lighting at each facility including the return on investment associated with more energy efficient lighting; and

WHEREAS, The Revolving Energy Loan Fund, created by the City Council in 2010 to fund energy conservation projects, is an appropriate funding source for lighting upgrades at these facilities and is consistent with the intent of the fund; and

WHEREAS, Implementing the recommended energy conservation measures is estimated to reduce the City’s annual energy cost by $23,953 and reduce carbon emissions; and

WHEREAS, The cost of completing the recommended energy conservation measures (upgrading to LED lighting) is estimated to be $69,175. The operating fund associated with each facility would reimburse the Revolving Energy Loan Fund in three equal payments (2020, 2021, and 2022).
