DATE: August 31 1995
SUBJECT: Authorizing the General Services Department to Fix Public Hearing Dates as Needed for Energy Services
Contracts
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDATION:
AUTHORIZE the General Services Department to fix public hearing dates as needed during fiscal year
1995-96, at which the Board of Supervisors will consider entering into energy services contracts and/or
facility financing contracts for County projects, pursuant to California Government Code Sections
4217.12 and 4217.13. General Services Department shall publish notifications of said public hearings
one time in the Contra Costa Times, such that fourteen days notice is provided.
II. BACKGROUND:
California Government Code, Chapter 3.2,Energy Conservation Contracts, allows government agencies
"the greatest possible flexibility" in structuring energy conservation agreements so that the economic
benefits may be maximized and "other costs associated with the design and construction may be
minimized." A public hearing is required with a finding that proceeding with the conservation project will
be in the best interests of the public agency.
A public hearing to approve a lighting retrofit project for four County buildings (10 Douglas Drive, 30
Douglas Drive, 40 Douglas Drive, and 50 Douglas Drive,Martinez)will be brought to the Board as soon
as possible, probably October 3, 1995. This project will be the third lighting retrofit which the
Department has done. A total of twelve buildings have been completed, with an estimated annual PG&E.
energy savings of$250,000. PG&E rebates estimated at $34,000 will be available to the County for this
third lighting project if it is completed by December 31, 1995.
If other energy savings projects are undertaken in fiscal year 1995-96, the Department will fix public
hearing dates to allow the Board to consider entering into energy savings contracts.
