DESCRIPTION:
In order to curtail the high cost of energy and to promote greater sustainability within the City,
the City Council approved an agreement with Chevron Energy Solutions, Inc. (Chevron ES) in
May 2011 to conduct an energy audit of all City facilities. The audit examined the consumption
of energy associated with the City’s municipal operations and provided recommendations for
projects that incorporate energy conservation measures as well as renewable energy options,
which were then codified within the City’s first Energy Action Plan. The Energy Action Plan
highlighted those conservation measures that not only would make the City more
environmentally sustainable, but also save the City money through reduced energy costs in the
long-term.
On June 19, 2012, the City Council accepted the audit findings and Energy Action Plan, which
included a detailed implementation strategy and scope of work to design and build the proposed
projects. The implementation strategy included options for funding and implementing the scope

of work without capital outlay from the City. Further, Chevron ES proposed continuing the
mutual relationship with the City through an Energy Services Contact, wherein the savings from
the energy upgrades fully pay for the cost of the Energy Action Plan; i.e., there would be no
negative impact to the City budget to implement the improvements. Since that time, City Staff
and Chevron ES have been working to complete the scope of work.
Final acceptance of the Energy Action Plan improvements is expected to be presented to the
City Council for consideration at the January 2014 City Council meeting; however, the work is
nearly completed with only minor details still to be finished. As the ribbon cutting event occurred
directly before the City Council meeting on December 17, 2013, Staff is proposing to provide
Chevron Energy Solutions, Inc. with recognition by the full City Council at this meeting.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
