WHEREAS, as part of City's Capital lmprovement Program to implement energy efficiency
p@ects, staff continues to explore ways to make City facilities more energy efficient and exercise
leadership in the area of energy savings and greenhouse gas emissions reduction; and
WHEREAS, one opportunity involves upgrading facility lighting to light-emitting diodes
(LEDs), which disperse light in a specific direction, thereby making them more efficient, and have
a longer lifespan than traditional lighting technologies, which helps reduce the cost of bulb
replacement and staff time; and
WHEREAS, staff worked with the San Mateo County Energy Watch (SMCEW Program,
which is an energy efficiency partnership between the City/County Association of Governments
and PG&E that helps public agencies identify and implement energy efficiency retrofits; and
WHEREAS, with the energy efficiency recommendations stemming from the 2016
Building Facilities Master Plan and the assistance of SMCEW, staff determined that eight City
facilities could benefit from upgrading lighting to LEDs, including office areas, lobbies, restrooms,
staircases, garage parking, fixtures, and signage; and
WHEREAS, under this program, the City can pay for upgrades direc{ly, or it can use no-
cost, on-bill financing with PG&E for those projects with a payback period of less than ten years.
1. The City will work with SMCEW to conduct energy efiiciency retrofits at eight City
facilities: City Hall, Corp Yard, Donnelly Parking Garage, Easton Branch Library, Main
Library, Parks Corp Yard, Police Station, and Public Works Building E.
2. The City will finance the energy efficiency projects, where appropriate, through
PG&E's On-Bill Financing (OBF) Program, which provides no-interest loans for energy
efficiency improvements.
3. The City will take out six separate OBF loans, for an estimated total of $277,000, for
lighting upgrades at all of the facilities except the Easton Library and Public Works
Building E, which have payback periods greater than ten years.
