III. REASONS FOR RECOMUMATION/BACKGROUND
A. On February 26, 1985 the Board of Supervisors authorized
and directed the Public Works Director to apply for State
monies for an energy technical analysis of the Merrithew
Hospital. The completed analysis identified cost
effective energy improvements for the hospital and
included appropriate State applications to apply for
funds for these improvements.
B. On October 1, 1985, the Board authorized the Public Works
Director to submit grant/loan applications to the
California Energy Commission for cost effective energy
improvements for Merrithew Memorial Hospital.
C. On April 30, 1986, the U.S. Department of Energy sent the
County a Notice of Financial Assistance Award for
acceptance. The Federal grant number is
DE-FG03-865F16158 . On June 2, 1986 , the California
Energy Commission sent the County loan papers for
acceptance and signature. The State loan number is
113-002. The grant and loan must be accepted by February
28, 1987, and the project must proceed or the County will
lose these funding benefits.
