Item/Subject: Order, Authorizing Applying for and Accepting a Grant of $161,700 from the
US Department of Energy
Responsible Department: Finance
Commentary:
As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, over $2.7 billion in formula grants
were made available to U.S, states, territories, local governments, and Indian tribes under the
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program. This program provides funds to units of
government to develop and implement projects to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy use
and fossil fuel emissions in their communities.
Staff has discussed a proposal to use these funds toward converting the City's metered street lights
to LED fixtures at both the Committee and Council Workshop level. Staff will review this proposed
project in a Special Finance Committee meeting prior to the Council meeting of June 22"d. If
approved, the City will make the necessary application for the grants funds for this purpose.
