CityCouncil | 2009-06-02 | 9 | registered with the Green Building Council never complete certification; a plaque ceremony will take place in September; that he invoiced StopWaste.org for $75,000 for the silver certification grant. Councilmember Gilmore stated the City secured a silver rating because the Facilities and Maintenance Manager spent his own time and energy pursuing the matter. Vice Mayor deHaan inquired whether the City would receive any credit for solar panels, to which the Facilities and Maintenance Manager responded in the negative. The Deputy City Manager stated the Library is the first public LEED building in the City. Mayor Johnson inquired whether there is a cost saving calculation. The Facilities and Maintenance Manager responded the solar panel cost savings is $12,000 per year. Mayor Johnson stated StopWaste.or and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) are looking to pool money to receive a larger grant working with the organizations through in-kind services would be good. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether the Webster Street SMART Corridor Project is being coordinated with Oakland. The Public Works Director responded the Oakland signal coordination is part of the project, which will also tie into 511.org. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether StopWaste.org's leverage money would come back to the City as cash or redundant services, to which the Deputy City Manager responded the matter is to be determined. Councilmember Matarrese stated the City should offer in-kind services rather than cash. Councilmember Tam stated East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) offers residential water audits; right now the focus has been on multi-family housing because master meters cannot induce specific, individual conservation; claiming in-kind services that EBMUD already provides would be appropriate. Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of the staff recommendation. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 9 June 2, 2009 | CityCouncil/2009-06-02.pdf |
