Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve an appropriation adjustment recognizing $157,378 in funding from Southern California Edison (accounting unit 01117002-57384) and appropriating the same amount to the Street Lighting Program (accounting unit 01117630-66220) for the installation of LED street lights. DISCUSSION In August 2011 the Council approved the installation of energy-efficient LED street lights on Main Street and Edinger Avenue. The project was funded through Southern California Edison's (SCE) new On-Bill Financing Program. Through this program the City receives zero percent financing for approved energy reduction projects. The costs are repaid from energy savings over a period of ten years. Installation of the lighting has been completed at a cost of $161,920. The City will receive an incentive of $18,266 and will utilize the on-bill financing to finance $139,112. The remaining $4,542 will be paid by the City. Payment to the contractor will be made through the City with monies paid by SCE. Replacement of the older high-pressure sodium lamps with the energy efficient LED street lights is reducing the city's annual energy consumption by 228,330 kWh, and energy costs in the general fund by approximately $27,400. 20A-1 Appropriation Adjustment For LED Street Lights April 16, 2012 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT The appropriation adjustment will recognize additional revenue of $157,378 from Southern California Edison in the general fund (accounting unit 01117002-57384) and appropriate the same amount to the Street Lighting Program (accounting unit 01117630-66220) to pay for the street lighting retrofits.
