RESOLUTION NO. 14-028
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND,
WASHINGTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A GRANT
AGREEMENT WITH THE WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
FOR THE 2012 ENERGY EFFICIENCY GRANT FOR MOUNTAIN VIEW
RECITALS:
A. A draft investment grade energy audit for the City was completed by Honeywell Building
Solutions in 2012 through the Washington State's Energy Saving Performance
Contracting Program for Mountain View(and other facilities). The result of this study
was that the capital investment in energy savings would result in an average of a 12.6 year
payback. One of the benefits of the state contract is that Honeywell guarantees that the
energy savings will be realized.
B. Along with this audit, the City applied for a Department of Commerce 2012 Energy
Efficiency Grant in 2012. The three (3) criteria for award were based on dollar leverage,
energy savings and how quick the project could start. The dollar leverage criterion was
the highest weighted criteria. Based on the results of the energy audit and the financial
commitment, the City was awarded a$500,000 grant to assist in completing the
$2,262,066 in facility energy improvements currently identified in the audit.
C. The DOC Energy Efficiency Grant has conditions which must be met prior to DOC
signing the grant agreement, and are as follows:

resources (This work is underway);
