ACCEPTING ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND

DEPT. HEAD /sjf

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2009-235 accepting Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant
(EECBG) funds from the US Department of Energy to partially fund the Streetlight Retrofit and
Relamping project, and authorizing the City Manager or designee to sign documents accepting the
grant funds.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
In an effort to reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions, the City Council directed staff to
replace over 7,000 street lights with high efficiency induction lights. Numerous agencies, including the
U.S. Department of Energy, have made funds available to assist local government in their efforts to
increase energy efficiency and reduce global warming. On May 19, 2009, Council approved
Resolution 2009-119 authorizing, among other items, City Staff to apply for the City's allocation of
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant funding for the purpose of retrofitting street lights.
On August 28, 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy awarded the City $938,900 in Grant funds.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This project is a Class 1 categorical exemption (minor alteration of existing structure or facilities) and
is, therefore, exempt from the environmental review process under provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15301(c).
Staff estimates that the change in technology will reduce the City's current power consumed for street
lighting from 5,118,967 kwh/year to 2,040,898 kwh/year. This is a reduction of 3,078,049 kwh
annually. In terms of greenhouse gas reduction, this project will result in the reduction of 1,240 tons
annually, the equivalent of taking 170 cars off the road for a year, or planting 124,000 trees.
FISCAL IMPACT:
EECBG funding is a grant award to the City and does not require repayment or matching funds. The
amount of the EECBG grant award is $938,900. These grant funds will be combined with other
funding sources, including Community Development Block Grant, SDG&E incentives and a loan from
the Calfornia Energy Commission to fully fund the retrofit project.
Staff estimates switching to induction street lights will reduce energy costs for Street Lighting by
approximately $290,000 annually. Additionally, maintenance costs are projected to decrease by an
additional $100,000 due to extended life span and warranties for induction lamps. The total
anticipated annual savings from this project are $390,000.
