CITY OF BOISE To: FROM: Mayor and Council Paul Woods, Environmental Division Manager, Public Works Beth Baird, Air Quality Programs Manager, Public Works RESOLUTION NUMBER: R-80-12 DATE: February 21, 2012 SUBJECT: Climate Solutions Agreement ACTION REQUIRED: Approval of Agreement with Climate Solutions RECOMMENDATION: Public Works recommends approval of the Agreement FISCAL IMPACT/BUDGET IMPLICATIONS: The workshop is a one time expenditure of $5,000 for the city of Boise. Public Works is funding this project through the professional services line item in the air quality division budget. The funding will be leveraged with local partner funding from Idaho Power, Center for Advanced Energy Studies, Capitol City Development Corporation and US Green Building Council Idaho Chapter totaling $12,000 in local matching funds. New Clean Energy Cities will contribute a total of $26,700 in matching funds for a total value of $43,700. BACKGROUND: The scope of work will consist of developing an inventory of energy consumption and use within the community and then conducting a one-day community stakeholder workshop with the intent of developing a community action plan to both improve energy efficiency and increase production of renewable energy within the community. The intent is to build on efforts to implement the recommendations of the Mayor s Climate Protection Advisory Committee with an emphasis on the already built environment. Climate Solutions is a Northwest based non-profit organization. Its New Energy Cities Program assists communities with developing meaningful strategies to increase energy efficiencies that are tailored to the particular needs of a locality. Most recently the group assisted Blaine County in conducting a similar effort. ATTACHMENTS: Agreement and Scope of Services
