2 Establishing a Quorum
The starting point for a meeting is the establishment of a quorum.

A quorum is defined as the minimum number of members of the body who must be present at a meeting for business to be legally transacted. The default rule is that a quorum is one more than half the body. For example, in a five-member body a quorum is three.

When the body has three members present, it can legally transact business. If the body has less than a quorum of members present, it cannot legally transact business. And even if the body has a quorum to begin the meeting, the body can lose the quorum during the meeting when a member departs (or even when a member leaves the dais). When that occurs the body loses its ability to transact business until and unless a quorum is reestablished.

The default rule, identified above, however, gives way to a specific rule of the body that establishes a quorum. For example, the rules of a particular five-member body may indicate that a quorum is four members for that particular body. The body must follow the rules it has established for its quorum. In the absence of such a specific rule, the quorum is one more than half the members of the body.

The Role of the Chair
While all members of the body should know and understand the rules of parliamentary procedure, it is the chair of the body who is charged with applying the rules of conduct of the meeting. The chair should be well versed in those rules. For all intents and purposes, the chair makes the final ruling on the rules every time the chair states an action. In fact, all decisions by the chair are final unless overruled by the body itself.

Since the chair runs the conduct of the meeting, it is usual courtesy for the chair to play a less active role in the debate and discussion than other members of the body. This does not mean that the chair should not participate in the debate or discussion. To the contrary, as a member of the body, the chair has the full right to participate in the debate, discussion and decision-making of the body. What the chair should do, however, is strive to be the last to speak at the discussion and debate stage. The chair should not make or second a motion unless the chair is convinced that no other member of the body will do so at that point in time.

The Basic Format for an Agenda Item Discussion
Formal meetings normally have a written, often published agenda.

Informal meetings may have only an oral or understood agenda. In either case, the meeting is governed by the agenda and the agenda constitutes the body’s agreed-upon roadmap for the meeting. Each agenda item can be handled by the chair in the following basic format:

Introduction
The rules of procedure at meetings should be simple enough for most people to understand. Unfortunately, that has not always been the case. Virtually all clubs, associations, boards, councils and bodies follow a set of rules — Robert’s Rules of Order — which are embodied in a small, but complex, book. Virtually no one I know has actually read this book cover to cover. Worse yet, the book was written for another time and for another purpose. If one is chairing or running a parliament, then Robert’s Rules of Order is a dandy and quite useful handbook for procedure in that complex setting. On the other hand, if one is running a meeting of say, a five-member body with a few members of the public in attendance, a simplified version of the rules of parliamentary procedure is in order.

Hence, the birth of Rosenberg’s Rules of Order.

What follows is my version of the rules of parliamentary procedure, based on my decades of experience chairing meetings in state and local government. These rules have been simplified for the smaller bodies we chair or in which we participate, slimmed down for the 21st Century, yet retaining the basic tenets of order to which we have grown accustomed. Interestingly enough, Rosenberg’s Rules has found a welcoming audience. Hundreds of cities, counties, special districts, committees, boards, commissions, neighborhood associations and private corporations and companies have adopted Rosenberg’s Rules in lieu of Robert’s Rules because they have found them practical, logical, simple, easy to learn and user friendly.

This treatise on modern parliamentary procedure is built on a foundation supported by the following four pillars:

1. Rules should establish order. The first purpose of rules of parliamentary procedure is to establish a framework for the orderly conduct of meetings.

2. Rules should be clear. Simple rules lead to wider understanding and participation. Complex rules create two classes: those who understand and participate; and those who do not fully understand and do not fully participate.

3. Rules should be user friendly. That is, the rules must be simple enough that the public is invited into the body and feels that it has participated in the process.

4. Rules should enforce the will of the majority while protecting the rights of the minority. The ultimate purpose of rules of procedure is to encourage discussion and to facilitate decision making by the body. In a democracy, majority rules. The rules must enable the majority to express itself and fashion a result, while permitting the minority to also express itself, but not dominate, while fully participating in the process.

15.B

3 Ninth, the chair takes a vote. Simply asking for the “ayes” and then asking for the “nays” normally does this. If members of the body do not vote, then they “abstain.” Unless the rules of the body provide otherwise (or unless a super majority is required as delineated later in these rules), then a simple majority (as defined in law or the rules of the body as delineated later in these rules) determines whether the motion passes or is defeated.

Tenth, the chair should announce the result of the vote and what action (if any) the body has taken. In announcing the result, the chair should indicate the names of the members of the body, if any, who voted in the minority on the motion. This announcement might take the following form: “The motion passes by a vote of 3-2, with Smith and Jones dissenting. We have passed the motion requiring a 10-day notice for all future meetings of this body.”
Motions in General
Motions are the vehicles for decision making by a body. It is usually best to have a motion before the body prior to commencing discussion of an agenda item. This helps the body focus.

Motions are made in a simple two-step process. First, the chair should recognize the member of the body. Second, the member of the body makes a motion by preceding the member’s desired approach with the words “I move … ”
A typical motion might be: “I move that we give a 10-day notice in the future for all our meetings.”
The chair usually initiates the motion in one of three ways:

1. Inviting the members of the body to make a motion, for example, “A motion at this time would be in order.”

2. Suggesting a motion to the members of the body, “A motion would be in order that we give a 10-day notice in the future for all our meetings.”

3. Making the motion. As noted, the chair has every right as a member of the body to make a motion, but should normally do so only if the chair wishes to make a motion on an item but is convinced that no other member of the body is willing to step forward to do so at a particular time.

The Three Basic Motions
There are three motions that are the most common and recur often at meetings:

The basic motion. The basic motion is the one that puts forward a decision for the body’s consideration. A basic motion might be: “I move that we create a five-member committee to plan and put on our annual fundraiser.”
First, the chair should clearly announce the agenda item number and should clearly state what the agenda item subject is. The chair should then announce the format (which follows) that will be followed in considering the agenda item.

Second, following that agenda format, the chair should invite the appropriate person or persons to report on the item, including any recommendation that they might have. The appropriate person or persons may be the chair, a member of the body, a staff person, or a committee chair charged with providing input on the agenda item.

Third, the chair should ask members of the body if they have any technical questions of clarification. At this point, members of the body may ask clarifying questions to the person or persons who reported on the item, and that person or persons should be given time to respond.

Fourth, the chair should invite public comments, or if appropriate at a formal meeting, should open the public meeting for public input.

If numerous members of the public indicate a desire to speak to the subject, the chair may limit the time of public speakers. At the conclusion of the public comments, the chair should announce that public input has concluded (or the public hearing, as the case may be, is closed).

Fifth, the chair should invite a motion. The chair should announce the name of the member of the body who makes the motion.

Sixth, the chair should determine if any member of the body wishes to second the motion. The chair should announce the name of the member of the body who seconds the motion. It is normally good practice for a motion to require a second before proceeding to ensure that it is not just one member of the body who is interested in a particular approach. However, a second is not an absolute requirement, and the chair can proceed with consideration and vote on a motion even when there is no second. This is a matter left to the discretion of the chair.

Seventh, if the motion is made and seconded, the chair should make sure everyone understands the motion.

This is done in one of three ways:

1. The chair can ask the maker of the motion to repeat it;

2. The chair can repeat the motion; or

3. The chair can ask the secretary or the clerk of the body to repeat the motion.

Eighth, the chair should now invite discussion of the motion by the body. If there is no desired discussion, or after the discussion has ended, the chair should announce that the body will vote on the motion. If there has been no discussion or very brief discussion, then the vote on the motion should proceed immediately and there is no need to repeat the motion. If there has been substantial discussion, then it is normally best to make sure everyone understands the motion by repeating it.

15.B

4 First, the chair would deal with the third (the last) motion on the floor, the substitute motion. After discussion and debate, a vote would be taken first on the third motion. If the substitute motion passed, it would be a substitute for the basic motion and would eliminate it. The first motion would be moot, as would the second motion (which sought to amend the first motion), and the action on the agenda item would be completed on the passage by the body of the third motion (the substitute motion). No vote would be taken on the first or second motions.

Second, if the substitute motion failed, the chair would then deal with the second (now the last) motion on the floor, the motion to amend. The discussion and debate would focus strictly on the amendment (should the committee be five or 10 members). If the motion to amend passed, the chair would then move to consider the main motion (the first motion) as amended. If the motion to amend failed, the chair would then move to consider the main motion (the first motion) in its original format, not amended.

Third, the chair would now deal with the first motion that was placed on the floor. The original motion would either be in its original format (five-member committee), or if amended, would be in its amended format (10-member committee). The question on the floor for discussion and decision would be whether a committee should plan and put on the annual fundraiser.

To Debate or Not to Debate
The basic rule of motions is that they are subject to discussion and debate. Accordingly, basic motions, motions to amend, and substitute motions are all eligible, each in their turn, for full discussion before and by the body. The debate can continue as long as members of the body wish to discuss an item, subject to the decision of the chair that it is time to move on and take action.

There are exceptions to the general rule of free and open debate on motions. The exceptions all apply when there is a desire of the body to move on. The following motions are not debatable (that is, when the following motions are made and seconded, the chair must immediately call for a vote of the body without debate on the motion):

Motion to adjourn. This motion, if passed, requires the body to immediately adjourn to its next regularly scheduled meeting. It requires a simple majority vote.

Motion to recess. This motion, if passed, requires the body to immediately take a recess. Normally, the chair determines the length of the recess which may be a few minutes or an hour. It requires a simple majority vote.

Motion to fix the time to adjourn. This motion, if passed, requires the body to adjourn the meeting at the specific time set in the motion. For example, the motion might be: “I move we adjourn this meeting at midnight.” It requires a simple majority vote.

The motion to amend. If a member wants to change a basic motion that is before the body, they would move to amend it. A motion to amend might be: “I move that we amend the motion to have a 10-member committee.” A motion to amend takes the basic motion that is before the body and seeks to change it in some way.

The substitute motion. If a member wants to completely do away with the basic motion that is before the body, and put a new motion before the body, they would move a substitute motion. A substitute motion might be: “I move a substitute motion that we cancel the annual fundraiser this year.”
“Motions to amend” and “substitute motions” are often confused, but they are quite different, and their effect (if passed) is quite different.

A motion to amend seeks to retain the basic motion on the floor, but modify it in some way. A substitute motion seeks to throw out the basic motion on the floor, and substitute a new and different motion for it. The decision as to whether a motion is really a “motion to amend” or a “substitute motion” is left to the chair. So if a member makes what that member calls a “motion to amend,” but the chair determines that it is really a “substitute motion,” then the chair’s designation governs.

A “friendly amendment” is a practical parliamentary tool that is simple, informal, saves time and avoids bogging a meeting down with numerous formal motions. It works in the following way: In the discussion on a pending motion, it may appear that a change to the motion is desirable or may win support for the motion from some members. When that happens, a member who has the floor may simply say, “I want to suggest a friendly amendment to the motion.” The member suggests the friendly amendment, and if the maker and the person who seconded the motion pending on the floor accepts the friendly amendment, that now becomes the pending motion on the floor. If either the maker or the person who seconded rejects the proposed friendly amendment, then the proposer can formally move to amend.

Multiple Motions Before the Body
There can be up to three motions on the floor at the same time.

The chair can reject a fourth motion until the chair has dealt with the three that are on the floor and has resolved them. This rule has practical value. More than three motions on the floor at any given time is confusing and unwieldy for almost everyone, including the chair.

When there are two or three motions on the floor (after motions and seconds) at the same time, the vote should proceed first on the last motion that is made. For example, assume the first motion is a basic “motion to have a five-member committee to plan and put on our annual fundraiser.” During the discussion of this motion, a member might make a second motion to “amend the main motion to have a 10-member committee, not a five-member committee to plan and put on our annual fundraiser.” And perhaps, during that discussion, a member makes yet a third motion as a “substitute motion that we not have an annual fundraiser this year.” The proper procedure would be as follows:

15.B

5 Motion to close nominations. When choosing officers of the body (such as the chair), nominations are in order either from a nominating committee or from the floor of the body. A motion to close nominations effectively cuts off the right of the minority to nominate officers and it requires a two-thirds vote to pass.

Motion to object to the consideration of a question. Normally, such a motion is unnecessary since the objectionable item can be tabled or defeated straight up. However, when members of a body do not even want an item on the agenda to be considered, then such a motion is in order. It is not debatable, and it requires a two-thirds vote to pass.

Motion to suspend the rules. This motion is debatable, but requires a two-thirds vote to pass. If the body has its own rules of order, conduct or procedure, this motion allows the body to suspend the rules for a particular purpose. For example, the body (a private club) might have a rule prohibiting the attendance at meetings by non-club members. A motion to suspend the rules would be in order to allow a non-club member to attend a meeting of the club on a particular date or on a particular agenda item.

Counting Votes
The matter of counting votes starts simple, but can become complicated.

Usually, it’s pretty easy to determine whether a particular motion passed or whether it was defeated. If a simple majority vote is needed to pass a motion, then one vote more than 50 percent of the body is required. For example, in a five-member body, if the vote is three in favor and two opposed, the motion passes. If it is two in favor and three opposed, the motion is defeated.

If a two-thirds majority vote is needed to pass a motion, then how many affirmative votes are required? The simple rule of thumb is to count the “no” votes and double that count to determine how many “yes” votes are needed to pass a particular motion. For example, in a seven-member body, if two members vote “no” then the “yes” vote of at least four members is required to achieve a two-thirds majority vote to pass the motion.

What about tie votes? In the event of a tie, the motion always fails since an affirmative vote is required to pass any motion. For example, in a five-member body, if the vote is two in favor and two opposed, with one member absent, the motion is defeated.

Vote counting starts to become complicated when members vote “abstain” or in the case of a written ballot, cast a blank (or unreadable) ballot. Do these votes count, and if so, how does one count them? The starting point is always to check the statutes.

In California, for example, for an action of a board of supervisors to be valid and binding, the action must be approved by a majority of the board. (California Government Code Section 25005.) Typically, this means three of the five members of the board must vote affirmatively in favor of the action. A vote of 2-1 would not be sufficient. A vote of 3-0 with two abstentions would be sufficient. In general law cities in Motion to table. This motion, if passed, requires discussion of the agenda item to be halted and the agenda item to be placed on “hold.” The motion can contain a specific time in which the item can come back to the body. “I move we table this item until our regular meeting in October.” Or the motion can contain no specific time for the return of the item, in which case a motion to take the item off the table and bring it back to the body will have to be taken at a future meeting. A motion to table an item (or to bring it back to the body) requires a simple majority vote.

Motion to limit debate. The most common form of this motion is to say, “I move the previous question” or “I move the question” or “I call the question” or sometimes someone simply shouts out “question.” As a practical matter, when a member calls out one of these phrases, the chair can expedite matters by treating it as a “request” rather than as a formal motion. The chair can simply inquire of the body, “any further discussion?” If no one wishes to have further discussion, then the chair can go right to the pending motion that is on the floor.

However, if even one person wishes to discuss the pending motion further, then at that point, the chair should treat the call for the “question” as a formal motion, and proceed to it.

When a member of the body makes such a motion (“I move the previous question”), the member is really saying: “I’ve had enough debate. Let’s get on with the vote.” When such a motion is made, the chair should ask for a second, stop debate, and vote on the motion to limit debate. The motion to limit debate requires a two-thirds vote of the body.

Note: A motion to limit debate could include a time limit. For example: “I move we limit debate on this agenda item to 15 minutes.” Even in this format, the motion to limit debate requires a twothirds vote of the body. A similar motion is a motion to object to consideration of an item. This motion is not debatable, and if passed, precludes the body from even considering an item on the agenda. It also requires a two-thirds vote.

Majority and Super Majority Votes
In a democracy, a simple majority vote determines a question. A tie vote means the motion fails. So in a seven-member body, a vote of 4-3 passes the motion. A vote of 3-3 with one abstention means the motion fails. If one member is absent and the vote is 3-3, the motion still fails.

All motions require a simple majority, but there are a few exceptions.

The exceptions come up when the body is taking an action which effectively cuts off the ability of a minority of the body to take an action or discuss an item. These extraordinary motions require a two-thirds majority (a super majority) to pass:

Motion to limit debate. Whether a member says, “I move the previous question,” or “I move the question,” or “I call the question,” or “I move to limit debate,” it all amounts to an attempt to cut off the ability of the minority to discuss an item, and it requires a two-thirds vote to pass.

15.B

6 Now, exactly how does a member cast an “abstention” vote? Any time a member votes “abstain” or says, “I abstain,” that is an abstention. However, if a member votes “present” that is also treated as an abstention (the member is essentially saying, “Count me for purposes of a quorum, but my vote on the issue is abstain.”) In fact, any manifestation of intention not to vote either “yes” or “no” on the pending motion may be treated by the chair as an abstention. If written ballots are cast, a blank or unreadable ballot is counted as an abstention as well.

Can a member vote “absent” or “count me as absent?” Interesting question. The ruling on this is up to the chair. The better approach is for the chair to count this as if the member had left his/her chair and is actually “absent.” That, of course, affects the quorum. However, the chair may also treat this as a vote to abstain, particularly if the person does not actually leave the dais.

The Motion to Reconsider
There is a special and unique motion that requires a bit of explanation all by itself; the motion to reconsider. A tenet of parliamentary procedure is finality. After vigorous discussion, debate and a vote, there must be some closure to the issue. And so, after a vote is taken, the matter is deemed closed, subject only to reopening if a proper motion to consider is made and passed.

A motion to reconsider requires a majority vote to pass like other garden-variety motions, but there are two special rules that apply only to the motion to reconsider.

First, is the matter of timing. A motion to reconsider must be made at the meeting where the item was first voted upon. A motion to reconsider made at a later time is untimely. (The body, however, can always vote to suspend the rules and, by a two-thirds majority, allow a motion to reconsider to be made at another time.)
Second, a motion to reconsider may be made only by certain members of the body. Accordingly, a motion to reconsider may be made only by a member who voted in the majority on the original motion. If such a member has a change of heart, he or she may make the motion to reconsider (any other member of the body — including a member who voted in the minority on the original motion — may second the motion). If a member who voted in the minority seeks to make the motion to reconsider, it must be ruled out of order. The purpose of this rule is finality. If a member of minority could make a motion to reconsider, then the item could be brought back to the body again and again, which would defeat the purpose of finality.

If the motion to reconsider passes, then the original matter is back before the body, and a new original motion is in order. The matter may be discussed and debated as if it were on the floor for the first time.

California, as another example, resolutions or orders for the payment of money and all ordinances require a recorded vote of the total members of the city council. (California Government Code Section 36936.) Cities with charters may prescribe their own vote requirements. Local elected officials are always well-advised to consult with their local agency counsel on how state law may affect the vote count.

After consulting state statutes, step number two is to check the rules of the body. If the rules of the body say that you count votes of “those present” then you treat abstentions one way. However, if the rules of the body say that you count the votes of those “present and voting,” then you treat abstentions a different way. And if the rules of the body are silent on the subject, then the general rule of thumb (and default rule) is that you count all votes that are “present and voting.” Accordingly, under the “present and voting” system, you would NOT count abstention votes on the motion. Members who abstain are counted for purposes of determining quorum (they are “present”), but you treat the abstention votes on the motion as if they did not exist (they are not “voting”). On the other hand, if the rules of the body specifically say that you count votes of those “present” then you DO count abstention votes both in establishing the quorum and on the motion. In this event, the abstention votes act just like “no” votes.

How does this work in practice?
Here are a few examples.

Assume that a five-member city council is voting on a motion that requires a simple majority vote to pass, and assume further that the body has no specific rule on counting votes. Accordingly, the default rule kicks in and we count all votes of members that are “present and voting.” If the vote on the motion is 3-2, the motion passes. If the motion is 2-2 with one abstention, the motion fails.

Assume a five-member city council voting on a motion that requires a two-thirds majority vote to pass, and further assume that the body has no specific rule on counting votes. Again, the default rule applies.

If the vote is 3-2, the motion fails for lack of a two-thirds majority. If the vote is 4-1, the motion passes with a clear two-thirds majority. A vote of three “yes,” one “no” and one “abstain” also results in passage of the motion. Once again, the abstention is counted only for the purpose of determining quorum, but on the actual vote on the motion, it is as if the abstention vote never existed — so an effective 3-1 vote is clearly a two-thirds majority vote.

Now, change the scenario slightly. Assume the same five-member city council voting on a motion that requires a two-thirds majority vote to pass, but now assume that the body DOES have a specific rule requiring a two-thirds vote of members “present.” Under this specific rule, we must count the members present not only for quorum but also for the motion. In this scenario, any abstention has the same force and effect as if it were a “no” vote. Accordingly, if the votes were three “yes,” one “no” and one “abstain,” then the motion fails. The abstention in this case is treated like a “no” vote and effective vote of 3-2 is not enough to pass two-thirds majority muster.

15.B

7 Appeal. If the chair makes a ruling that a member of the body disagrees with, that member may appeal the ruling of the chair. If the motion is seconded, and after debate, if it passes by a simple majority vote, then the ruling of the chair is deemed reversed.

Call for orders of the day. This is simply another way of saying, “return to the agenda.” If a member believes that the body has drifted from the agreed-upon agenda, such a call may be made. It does not require a vote, and when the chair discovers that the agenda has not been followed, the chair simply reminds the body to return to the agenda item properly before them. If the chair fails to do so, the chair’s determination may be appealed.

Withdraw a motion. During debate and discussion of a motion, the maker of the motion on the floor, at any time, may interrupt a speaker to withdraw his or her motion from the floor. The motion is immediately deemed withdrawn, although the chair may ask the person who seconded the motion if he or she wishes to make the motion, and any other member may make the motion if properly recognized.

Special Notes About Public Input
The rules outlined above will help make meetings very publicfriendly. But in addition, and particularly for the chair, it is wise to remember three special rules that apply to each agenda item:

Rule One: Tell the public what the body will be doing.

Rule Two: Keep the public informed while the body is doing it.

Rule Three: When the body has acted, tell the public what the body did.

Courtesy and Decorum
The rules of order are meant to create an atmosphere where the members of the body and the members of the public can attend to business efficiently, fairly and with full participation. At the same time, it is up to the chair and the members of the body to maintain common courtesy and decorum. Unless the setting is very informal, it is always best for only one person at a time to have the floor, and it is always best for every speaker to be first recognized by the chair before proceeding to speak.

The chair should always ensure that debate and discussion of an agenda item focuses on the item and the policy in question, not the personalities of the members of the body. Debate on policy is healthy, debate on personalities is not. The chair has the right to cut off discussion that is too personal, is too loud, or is too crude.

Debate and discussion should be focused, but free and open. In the interest of time, the chair may, however, limit the time allotted to speakers, including members of the body.

Can a member of the body interrupt the speaker? The general rule is “no.” There are, however, exceptions. A speaker may be interrupted for the following reasons:

Privilege. The proper interruption would be, “point of privilege.” The chair would then ask the interrupter to “state your point.” Appropriate points of privilege relate to anything that would interfere with the normal comfort of the meeting. For example, the room may be too hot or too cold, or a blowing fan might interfere with a person’s ability to hear.

Order. The proper interruption would be, “point of order.” Again, the chair would ask the interrupter to “state your point.” Appropriate points of order relate to anything that would not be considered appropriate conduct of the meeting. For example, if the chair moved on to a vote on a motion that permits debate without allowing that discussion or debate.

☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☒ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing TITLE:

Discussion of the Regional Parks and Open Space District for the County of Riverside in Partnership with the State of California for the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division's Initiation of a Feasibility Study for Site Selection Choices for a Future Public Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Park
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Discuss the Regional Parks and Open Space District for the County of Riverside in partnership with the State of California for the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division's initiation of a feasibility study to develop a master plan for site selection choices for a future public OHV Park and provide possible direction to staff.

BACKGROUND:

As stated on the Riverside County Parks OHV website, “The Regional Parks and Open Space District for the County of Riverside, in partnership with the State of California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division, is initiating a feasibility study to develop a master plan and site selection choices for a future public OHV Park. The plan will take into account land ownership, sensitive lands, concerns of noise, dust, cultural resources and environmental protection, and private rights when considering potential OHV Park Sites. Stakeholder and community input will be integrated into the planning efforts.

The plan will look at the entire County but will narrow it down to six potential sites which will further be narrowed down to three feasible sites.”
ANALYSIS:

This discussion is being included on the agenda to allow the City Council an opportunity to discuss their position on the proposed locations, which are listed below and specific maps located here:

City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - Jan 25 2022
Department: Administration
Submitted by: Christopher Lopez, City Manager
Veronica Allen, Management Analyst;
☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☒ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing TITLE:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Authorizing Acceptance of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Established by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 in the Amount of $21,674,344.00 and Discussion on Proposed Projects for Funding RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Authorize the acceptance of the American Rescue Plan - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund in the amount of $21,674,344.00; and
Discuss proposed projects for funding from the American Rescue Plan – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund that directly aligns with the City’s adopted Strategic Plan, Final Treasury Rules, and provide direction.

BACKGROUND:

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) is a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill. On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act 2021, which launched the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF). SLFRF will provide $350 billion in emergency funding for state and local governments. The emergency economic stimulus bill provides fiscal aid to address the ongoing COVID-19 public health crisis.

The ARPA states that funding can be used to:

1. Respond to COVID-19 or its Economic Impacts;

2. Replace revenues lost due to COVID-19;

3. Provide premium pay to eligible essential workers; and

4. Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure.

Of the $350 billion economic stimulus bill, the City will receive almost $22 million in direct one-time funding. This one-time funding will provide significant financial resources for health and safety across the City while also making investments that improve our resident's quality of life.

15.D

The City's Strategic Plan, approved by Council on June 23, 2021, is the roadmap for the City's workplans. The City's Council Adopted Goals include the following:

1. Quality of Life

2. Economic Opportunity

3. Community Engagement

4. Partnership and Collaboration

5. Organizational Effectiveness
On July 13, 2021, The Hemet City Council received a presentation and discussed potential uses of the ARPA SLFRF funding. Community engagement is a big component of the SLFRF funding and a survey was launched using Polco, Inc., an ARPA Engagement package. The surveys were launched to gather input from the community on the areas of concern and on the uses for this funding.

ANALYSIS:

SLFRF funding will be received in two disbursements. The first $10 million has been received and the second disbursement is anticipated within the next 12 months. The funds may be used for any allowed purpose starting on March 3, 2021, and must be encumbered by December 31, 2024. Funds that are encumbered during this period must be spent by December 31, 2026. Use of funds for projects outside of these dates is prohibited. Funds not spent by the end of 2026 must be returned to the federal government.

In order to get to this discussion, staff took the following actions:

1. Preliminary discussion with Council on July 13, 2021.

2. Polco, Inc. was contracted to conduct an ARPA Engagement Survey for residents and businesses to provide input on the community needs, areas of concern, and provide feedback on how to prioritize ARPA funding. Surveys were made available from September 9 to November 8, 2021.

3. Each department/division was asked to provide a request for funding that aligned with the Strategic Plan and Council feedback from July 13, 2021.

4. Analysis of Polco survey feedback to determine areas of concern and where funding should be prioritized.

5. Initial review by City staff of submitted projects against Treasury guidelines.

6. Legal analysis was conducted by the City Attorney's Office on January 6, 2022, to ensure proposed projects met with Treasury's Final Rule.

7. Analysis which included Polco feedback, Treasury Final Rule alignment, Strategic Plan Alignment, and initial Council discussion from July 13, 2021.

Initial Council Discussion
On July 13, 2021, the Hemet City Council received a presentation and discussed the potential uses of the ARPA - SLFRF funding. In that meeting, the Council indicated an initial preference to prioritize and use the funding to support public health resources and reduce the negative impacts of the pandemic.

During the discussion, Council stated they would like to see homelessness solutions to help with the homelessness concerns in the City along with providing mental health services. There are many households that are in arrears with utility payments and rent due to the pandemic and assistance to these impacted households is needed. Also discussed extensively was the need for increased outdoor activity. This became evident during the mandatory pandemic. The only activity that was allowed was outdoors therefore an increase in outdoor exercise and parks, a skate park, and youth projects would enhance the ability of communities ability to maintain a healthy state of mind. Also mentioned were food delivery to those in need, water and sewer infrastructure, and small business assistance. The

15.D

Council also supported hearing feedback from the community regarding these funds before deciding upon funding allocations. The areas of priority discussed by the Council were:
• Homelessness Solutions
• Mental Health services
• Housing
• Utility Providers
o People in arrears with utility payments and rent; assist people to get caught up • Tourism, travel, and hospitality
• Simpson Center – form into a Community Center
• Outdoor exercise - parks
• Skate Park
• Youth Projects
• Food delivery to those in need - work with non-profit agencies • Water and Sewer infrastructure
• Small Business Assistance
After this discussion the City Manager's Office took the lead in gathering proposals from operations given the Council direction and discussion. This process involved each department/division completing a request for funding that included a description of the project, cost estimate, a project objective, and how the project aligns with the Strategic Plan. Each request for funding that was submitted was reviewed by City staff to ensure it met Treasury guidelines and a spreadsheet was created listing all of the projects (Attachment 1).

Department/Division Proposals
City operations brought forward the following projects to the City Manager's Office for consideration:
• Police Multi-purpose Mobile Command Post and Emergency Operations Center • Police External Safety and Infrastructure upgrade at the Main Public Safety Facilities • Police Community Center & Citywide Training Facility
• Police Department Job Training/Employment Support
• Fire - Replace Zoll Defibrillator/Heart Monitors
• Fire Station Facility Evaluation/Retrofit/Remodel as necessary; Internal Fire Station System Upgrades

15.D

• City Clerk - Records Management System
• Information Technology - Critical Infrastructure/Cybersecurity Modernization • Information Technology - Telephone and Network Modernization • Information Technology - Data Center Modernization
Attachment 1 reflects all of the projects submitted and the highlighted projects on the bottom of the spreadsheet are considered not eligible as they do not meet Treasury Guidelines. City Manager staff reviewed the submitted projects against Treasury guidelines in the Interim Final Rule (subsequently adopted on January 6, 2022). Since the adoption of the Treasury's Final Rule, the City Attorney's Office was asked to review all the ARPA projects to ensure the projects considered eligible and ineligible were accurately categorized. The City Attorney's Office provided their legal opinion on the submitted projects and those legally eligible have been noted. The Council has been provided this opinion.

The following projects most likely do not meet Treasury guidelines based on legal's review. • Police Multi-purpose Mobile Command Post and Emergency Operations Center • Police External Safety and Infrastructure upgrade at the Main Public Safety Facilities • Police Community Center & Citywide Training Facility
• Fire Station Facility Evaluation/Retrofit/Remodel, Internal Fire Station System Upgrades • Fire Apparatus Replacement - 2 KME Engines
• City Clerk - Records Management System
• Community Development Neighborhood Enhancement Project • Community Development Economic Development Strategic Plan Revenue Loss
Initially, the Treasury's requirements on Revenue Loss was very definitive. If cities could not document revenue loss, cities were deemed ineligible to utilize any of the SLFRF funding for projects considered provisions of 'general government'. The City did not have revenue loss when the Treasury's Interim Final Rule was in place. When Treasury adopted the Final Rule for the SLFRF funding on January 6, 2022, one of the most significant changes was the modification to the lost revenue provision which allows recipients to use SLFRF funds in the amount up to the recipient’s lost revenue for provisions of “government services.”
“Government services” generally include any service traditionally provided by a government, including the construction of roads and other infrastructure; provision of public safety and other services; health and educational services; modernization of cybersecurity, including hardware, software, and protection of critical infrastructure; health services; environmental remediation; school or educational services; and the provision of police, fire, and other public safety services.

With this revision, the City is eligible to use the “revenue replacement category” because the Treasury is allowing a “standard allowance” of $10 million. Under revenue replacement, cities have broad latitude to use funds for government services due to the pandemic so long as other restrictions do not apply.

Some of the projects listed above as likely ineligible projects could potentially be funded from revenue replacement, as may almost all operations of the City of Hemet, with certain exceptions (i.e., pension costs, judgments/settlements). This 'standard allowance' is not additional funding however part of the allocation the City has received.

With this change in the Final Rule regarding the revenue replacement category and 'standard allowance', this brings the first major policy item for the Council: Does the Council wish to utilize the 'standard allowance' of $10 million? Staff seeks direction on this item.

15.D

If the Council approves this standard allowance, the Council would still be required to allocate approximately $12M in ARPA funding for eligible projects under the Final Rule.

Community Engagement and Feedback
Community engagement is an important component of the SLFRF funding. The City partnered with Polco, Inc. for an ARPA Engagement Package to provide a survey for residents and businesses to gather feedback from the community. The survey was shared on all media platforms to encourage participation. The survey was deployed from September 9, 2021 to November 8, 2021. The survey received 273 residents and 92 business responses. Approximately 57.6 percent of the respondents reported being property owners in the City. Below reflects the age range of the survey respondents.

The majority of the respondents were between 65-74 years of age. Also reflected is the age and gender of survey respondents.

The four critical areas of focus are the same for residents and businesses who responded: Safety, Economy, Inclusivity, Education, Arts, and Culture. Safety refers to the overall feeling of safety in Hemet. Economy refers to the overall economic health of Hemet. Inclusivity refers to the resident's connection and engagement with their community. Lastly, Education, Arts, and Culture refer to the overall opportunities for education, culture, and the arts in Hemet.

The complete results can be accessed with the link to the engagement survey results below. https://www.hemetca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/7611/Hemet_ARPA_Resident_Nov2021 https://www.hemetca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/7612/Hemet_ARPA_Business_Nov2021 DISCUSSION:

The basis for the recommended proposed projects is based on the foundation formula created which included the following: project alignment with the Strategic Plan + initial Council ARPA Priorities + project is eligible under Final Rule + importance to community based on feedback from the Polco survey. These highly recommended projects meet all four foundation basis. Projects that meet 3 of the criteria would be considered important however are missing one of the elements in the foundation formula. Projects that did not meet the criteria did not meet the basic Treasury guideline based on the Treasury's Final Rule and is considered an ineligible project.

Within the overall categories of eligible uses, recipients have some flexibility to decide how best to use the funding to meet the needs of their communities. Specific to Hemet, staff prioritized projects that would provide long-term benefits to those impacted by COVID-19. The proposed projects include resources to support the public health response, funding to promote and stimulate economic growth and enhance fiscal stability of the City, as well as programs that support nonprofit and local business community. The recommended projects provide benefits Citywide and make strategic investments in the City's infrastructure to connect the community by improving access to parks and commerce.

The proposed American Rescue Plan - State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Projects for consideration and discussion are listed below (outlined in Attachment 1):

Supporting the Public Health Response: $6,794,977

15.D

Funds may be used to support public health expenditures and COVID-19 mitigation efforts. The City is recommending that funding be used to cover eligible expenditures including personal protective equipment and investments in public facilities to meet pandemic operational needs. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the vital role that technology plays in our ability to communicate to the public and ensure critical public safety activities continue, and the necessity of providing online self-serve options to enable customers to access City services. Project funds are allocated to provide the necessary technology upgrades to enable the City to continue to responding to the pandemic and provide long-term benefits to customers, business, citizens, and City staff with upgrades to the City telephone network, data center, and contactless development software for Community Development.

The program eligibility and requirements have not been determined, but staff are assessing the needs and reviewing existing programs with other City agencies in order to develop the criteria. For example, the City of San Marcos created an operational grants program to support local nonprofits. Their guidelines document and a summary of the eligibility and criteria process is available on their website.

Households were impacted during the pandemic due to loss of job, illness, or reduced work hours which resulted in being in arrears with rent/mortgage and utility payments.

These projects have already been approved by City Council.
• $222,300 for a grant management software system and the Polco community engagement survey
The estimated total amount of the proposed projects is $31,416,242.04. The proposed project's total is over by $9,741,898.04 of the City's ARPA SLFRF allocation of $21,674,344.

Council Discussion
The ARPA SLFRF is an opportunity to provide services to the community due to the coronavirus pandemic and its effect on the community as a whole. The actions taken by the City Council by providing their priorities with the ARPA funding during the July 13th Council meeting, engaging the community for feedback with the Polco survey, review of the proposed projects to ensure they meet Treasury requirements and alignment with the Strategic Plan is the foundational formula used to recommend the proposed project to meet the needs of the community.

A total of $2,378,107 in projects listed below have already been approved by Council. This leaves $8,621,893 in SLFRF funding available for discussion if the Council chooses to utilize the standard allowance. Projects that have already been approved by the Council in the amount of $2,378,107 are the following:
• Homelessness Services with City Net in the amount of $1,183,307. This is a three-year contract to provide street outreach, engagement, and emergency shelter/bridge housing. • Premium Pay for public sector staff for essential work in the amount of $972,500. • Polco, Inc. Community Engagement survey and the eCivis Grant Management software system in the amount of $222,300 under Administrative Services.

Based on the Treasury Rule and unique needs of the City, the staff is recommending the City Council discuss and provided direction on the following:

1. Does the Council wish to utilize the 'standard allowance' of $10 million?

2. What is the Council's feedback on the ARPA eligible proposed projects for the distribution of funds based on the foundation formula of alignment with the City's Strategic Plan, the initial council priority discussion on July 13, 2021, meets Treasury Final Rule, and is essential or very important to the community based on the engagement survey is presented to Council for discussion.

3. Does the Council wish to approve specific projects as listed in the attachments, or prefer other projects that staff can explore?
In conclusion, The Project Matrix (Attachment 3) reflects the proposed projects to the foundation formula (project alignment with the Strategic Plan + project meets Council Priorities + project is eligible under Treasury Guidelines + importance to community-based on feedback from the Polco survey).

Criticial Infrastructure/Cybersecurity Modernization - Review and modernization of the City of Hemet’s enterprise-wide cybersecurity. Our City’s growing reliance on our critical technology infrastructure expands ever year. During COVID-19, this reliance grew exponentially overnight. Providing a secure remote work environment to facilitate continue City operations with residents and private businesses have pushed this infrastructure to its limits. At the same time, cyber criminals and nation-states have grasped this opportunity to conduct major cyber-attacks during the pandemic. These attacks on critical infrastructure can severely impact our ability to provide services to all sectors of our community. This project will review our current cyber security posture and implement necessary changes to protect us against existing and future threats to our critical infrastructure. This project impacts the success of every goal on the current strategic plan. The City is improving technology infrastructure as a COVID-19 mitigation tactic. $1,000,000.00 Organizational Effectiveness 1.7
Telephone and Network Modernization - Modernization of the City’s telephone system. Throughout COVID-19, the City’s phone system has played a vital link between the City, it’s businesses and residents. This system allowed businesses and residents to engage staff and connect with City services, including public safety while following local directives. For residents without access to broadband Internet, this system provided their only way to communicate with the City and its services. This systems age and lack of versatility showed throughout this period, impacting timely response to our businesses and residents.

This project would modernize this system, increasing the availability of remotely working staff to answer live calls, increase reliability, and reduce wait times through use of advanced technology and redesigned call workflows. As a part of our critical technology infrastructure, this system is foundational to ensure the successful implementation of other ARP projects by City departments and divisions. This project impacts the success of every goal on the current strategic plan. The City is improving technology infrastructure as a COVID-19 mitigation tactic. • Technology Upgrades to Streamline Operations Page 15 of 27

Data Center Modernization - Replacement of the City’s computer and storage environments at City Hall and Police Department. Our City’s growing reliance on our critical technology infrastructure expands ever year. During COVID-19, this reliance grew exponentially overnight. Many paper processes are being converted to digital, lessening the need for direct physical contact and interaction with businesses and residents. As part of Council approved documentation retention, paper documentation must be digitized for easier access and transparency. These moves have depleted available computer and storage resources to levels that impede successful completion of additional projects, including data backups. Replacement part availability of these older systems have been directly impacted due to supply chain shortages and component obsolescence. As a part of our critical technology infrastructure, continued operation of these systems is essential to the successful implementation of other ARP projects and Council strategic plan goals. This project would ensure a solid foundation for the successful implementation of future projects and strategic goals. This project impacts the success of every goal on the current strategic plan.

Discussion and Direction Regarding Issuance of a City of Hemet Position Letter on Net Energy Metering

3.0 Proceedings Before the California Public Utilities Commission RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Discuss and take possible action, including potentially issuing a position letter on the Net Energy Metering 3.0 Proceedings being held before the California Public Utilities Commission.

BACKGROUND:

The California Public Utilities Commission is considering revisions to the net metering energy structure for solar electric customers. Several parties have submitted proposals for this new structure. Among the proposals is a joint submission from Pacific Gas and Electric, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas and Electric.

The draft position letter urges the California Public Utilities Commission to reject elements of proposals that would make it more difficult for customer-sited renewable generation installations to continue to grow.

ANALYSIS:

Net energy metering (NEM) was provided for by the California Legislature in Public Utilities Code section 2827 to support the installation of customer-sited renewable energy generation. Under NEM, when a rooftop solar system generates more energy than the homeowner or business actually consumes, customers can sell the excess back to utilities via the grid and receive credits on their bills.

In 2020, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) initiated Rulemaking No. R.20-08 020 to revise the NEM structure in a third iteration known as ‘NEM 3.0’. Several parties have submitted

15.E

proposals for what they contend the NEM 3.0 structure and terms should be. NEM 3.0 is the latest iteration of the program, which has not been updated since January 2016.

The focus of the NEM 3.0 proceeding is the balance between concepts known as payback periods and cost shifts. According to the CPUC, a ‘simple payback period’ is an estimate of how many years of bill savings would be required to recover the upfront costs of a new solar or solar-plus-storage system. A shorter payback period reflects a proposal that is more favorable to NEM participants. ‘Cost shift’ reflects the dollar value of utility costs shifted from participants to nonparticipants after interconnection. A smaller cost shift reflects a proposal that is more favorable to nonparticipants.

The NEM 3.0 proceeding has drawn significant attention from both trade organizations representing solar power manufacturers and installers on the one hand, and investor-owned utilities (such as Southern California Edison) on the other. The solar industry says the existing rules have been instrumental in making California the nation’s solar leader and warns major changes would jeopardize continued growth. Backers say rooftop installations help the state meet its greenhouse gas reduction goals and alleviate strain on the power grid.

Utilities have been calling for changes for years, saying the current policy leaves customers who don’t have rooftop solar paying a disproportionate amount of the fixed costs that come with running the electrical system — things like wires, substations, and transformers. The power companies say this “cost shift” needs to be addressed and others have cited equity issues for customers who can’t afford to install rooftop solar having to pay a disproportionate share of costs.

On December 13, 2021, the CPUC announced a proposed decision from the CPUC's Administrative Law Judge. The proposal can be accepted, rejected or altered by the CPUC’s five commissioners. The important highlights from the proposed decision are as follows:

Changing how much solar customers are paid when they send power back to the grid. Instead of receiving the retail rate of electricity, they would get paid at the “actual avoided cost,” which is lower.

Creating a “grid participation charge” of $8 per kilowatt on the solar systems of residential customers.

The typical rooftop system is about 5 to 6 kilowatts so the charge would come to about $40 to $48 per month for most customers. According to the CPUC, the average customer who does not have rooftop solar pays about $100 per month for their access to the grid. The charge would not apply to commercial customers.

Establishing a $600 million Equity Fund to support clean energy and energy storage programs for lowincome Californians. Disadvantaged households would be exempt from paying the grid participation charge.

Providing a 10-year payback period for customers who add energy storage to their solar systems. The goal is that by deploying storage, customers will help reduce strain on the grid during the 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. hours when solar production rapidly deceases as the sun sets.

DISCUSSION:

Many communities are sending comment letters to the CPUC and it is reported that the CPUC has received over 100,000 comments so far. City staff have prepared draft language for a comment letter below for City Council consideration:

15.E

**** DRAFT POSITION LETTER LANGUAGE ****
NEM is a significant driver of solar adoption in the City of Hemet. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has commenced Rulemaking No. R.20-08 020 to revise the NEM tariff structure in a third evolution known as NEM 3.0 and a proposed decision has been submitted for consideration as early as January 27, 2022 by the CPUC. Public Utilities Code section 2827.1 requires that the NEM

3.0 successor tariff to “[e]nsure that customer-sited renewable distributed generation continues to grow sustainably and include specific alternatives designed for growth among residential customers in disadvantaged communities,” and “[e]nsure that the total benefits of the [NEM 3.0] tariff to all customers and the electrical system are approximately equal to the total costs” The proposed NEM decision would extend the payback period for customer-sited solar systems significantly beyond the payback periods. Additionally, the proposal does not sufficiently reduce costshifting and ensure that total benefits to all customers are approximately equal to total costs. In particular, the new fixed fees on NEM 3.0 customers called Grid Benefits Charge would make it more difficult for customer-sited renewables to continue to grow sustainably as mandated by Public Utilities Code section 2827.1.

The clean energy sector has a large economic benefit for our region, and the rooftop solar industry provides thousands of jobs in Riverside County. Expanding access to rooftop solar in our community will help California move toward clean energy and energy independence.

The Hemet City Council, therefore, supports significant changes to the proposed NEM 3.0 decision that:
• Support the sustainable growth of customer-sited solar electric and energy storage facilities to meet California’s clean energy targets, particularly residential customers in disadvantaged communities.
• Expand access to renewable solar generating facilities for low-and-moderate income households including access to other clean energy technologies such as batteries and ensure that the solar installations continue to grow.
• Ensure equitable and robust solar rooftop and battery adoption and do not burden non-solar and low-income customers.
• Reject elements of the proposal that will stifle sustainable growth of customer-sited renewable generating facilities including high monthly fixed charges and avoided cost models PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

Centrica Business Solutions - Investment Grade Audit of City Facilities Results Update RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Receive an update and report of the proposed recommendations provided by Centrica Business Solutions regarding the Investment Grade Audit of the City's facilities, provide guidance to staff regarding the next steps relating to the selection, implementation, and financing of the audit recommendations, and remove this item from the Council's List of Future Items.

BACKGROUND:

In July 2019, Centrica Business Solutions Services, Inc., (Centrica) approached the City regarding the performance of a Preliminary Feasibility Assessment of City buildings and facilities in order to identify potential opportunities for the City to improve and enhance the energy demands and usages within the various city facilities such as City Hall, Covell Building, Police, Fire and Public Library. Centrica conducted this Preliminary Feasibility Assessment in June 2020 and identified eleven Facility Improvement Measures (FIM) in which tentative energy savings may be implemented. These areas include:

Facility Improvement Measure (FIM)
Interior LED Lighting
Exterior LED Lighting
HVAC Replacements
Hot Water Pump Variable Frequency Drive
Chiller Replacement
Demand Control Ventilation
Networkable Thermostats
Transformer Replacement

15.F

Facility Improvement Measure (FIM)
Generator Block Heater Heat Pump
Plug-Load Controls
Solar Photovoltaic
At the December 8, 2020, Regular City Council Meeting, Centrica presented the results of the Preliminary Feasibility Assessment. The Assessment identified various opportunities for the City to achieve significant energy saving, and it was recommended that an Investment Grade Audit of all City buildings and facilities be conducted. This Audit was conducted at no cost to the City.

As a result, the City Council approved an Investment Grade Audit Agreement between the City and Centrica on December 8, 2020. Centrica commenced the work on the Investment Grade Audit in January 2021 and submitted a draft report on August 3, 2021. Staff and Centrica conducted subsequent internal reviews of the Audit, including review meetings with the various effected departments such as Police and Fire to confirm the acceptance of the recommendations within the Audit. In addition, staff and Centrica worked closely together regarding potential alternative funding sources for the proposed Audit results in order to reduce the long-term funding requirements to the City.

ANALYSIS:

The purpose of the Investment Grade Audit (IGA) was to conduct a more detailed review of all of the City’s facilities in order to fully identify and quantify the extent of the potential savings that may be afforded to the City through the implementation of a comprehensive energy program and facilities upgrade.

This work could, if the City elects to implement the results of the Investment Grade Audit, result in a budget-neutral energy savings project under California State Government Code 4217.10 et seq (“4217 Code”). Under State Government Code 4217 et. seq. the City may enter into a direct agreement with a company to conduct the necessary studies and implement a program of energy-saving retrofits that will result in net energy savings over a 25-year period and that does not increase the foreseeable City’s energy costs. This program allows the City to reduce energy demand by replacing outdated and inefficient lights, heating and air conditioning systems and implementing long term conversion to solar photovoltaic systems, thus reducing the City’s energy demands on the state’s limited energy grid, as well as reducing the City’s Green House Gas footprint in compliance with various state laws, policies, and objectives.

As a result of the Audit, Centrica reviewed various internal City documents prepared by the various departments that relate to energy conservation and facility upgrades. This included such issues as inadequate HVAC systems, single-pane windows, poor ventilation, and other building envelope components. Centrica conducted detailed assessments of each City building, including a physical inventory of the energy use components, reviews of utility bills for each facility, and discussions with affected departments as to energy-related issues such as inadequate or poor heating, ventilation, and air conditioning or substandard lighting.

As a result of the Audit, Centrica identified three key areas for consideration. These are summarized below:

Infrastructure Enhancements: includes interior and exterior lighting improvements, advanced lighting controls, HVAC unit replacements, chilled water system upgrades, hot water system upgrades, building

management system upgrades, secondary transformer replacements, networkable thermostats, plug load controls, window retrofits, and domestic plumbing retrofits and replacements.

Renewable Energy: includes solar photovoltaics and microgrids including battery storage systems to ensure continuity of power services in the event of extended electrical service interruptions.

Irrigation Conservation: includes various water conservation features within landscape areas throughout the City.

The attached PowerPoint presentation provides additional details as it relates to specific recommendations as contained in the full audit report.

DISCUSSION:

Due to the level of deferred maintenance that has accumulated within the City's facilities, this program represents an important opportunity for the City to make a significant impact on the physical condition of the facilities as well as reduce energy costs while lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Under the general authority of the State of California 4217 Code Program, energy conservation efforts that reduce demand have been exempted from the normal process of development of bid specifications and engineering plans, and may directly be implemented. As shown in the previous section, the proposed program would result in approximately $500,000 per year of energy and maintenance savings.

Under the 4217 Code Program, these savings would then be used to fund the actual improvements on a long-term financing program. The approximate total of $9,096,000 of identified improvements could be financed through an appropriate financial instrument as provided by Centrica and financial partners for up to 18 years while generating actual net savings to City operations. Staff spent considerable discussion with Centrica, Finance, and the City Manager's Office on alternative financing, which could include use of General Fund fund balance for public safety enhancements, water conservation funding through both the City's Water Division and Eastern Municipal Water District / Metropolitan Water District, American Rescue Plan (ARP) or internal fund balances as identified.

15.F

Staff is therefore seeking direction from the City Council relating to project implementation, including direction as to desired financial methods.

A proposed funding approach that may be considered, would include a mix of ARPA, General Fund fund balance, long term bond financing and water conservation grants from both the City of Hemet Water Division and Eastern Municipal Water District. The table below shows a broad allocation of the specific energy saving categories and potential funding sources:

This approach would minimalize the long-term financing of the various solar projects to approximately $3,909,743 while ensuring the maximum amount of annual energy savings accrued to the City by the use of one-time payments. The remaining $1,576,552 of projects could potentially be funding through other sources, or included in the bond financing amount, increase the total amount of long-term bond financing to $5,486,295.

If the Council accepts the findings of the Investment Grade Audit and provides guidance to staff regarding an acceptable funding strategy, staff will subsequently develop a financing plan for presentation to the Council at the January 25th Council meeting. A public hearing may be required to formally adopt the financing plan under the 4217 Code Program requirements and authorize staff to implement the Audit recommendations and to enter into an implementation agreement with Centrica.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

December 8, 2020 - Authorize Centrica to conduct an Investment Grade Audit.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL FIVE: ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
To identify the work needed inside the City organization to effectively provide services to the community and ensure financial stability.

15.F

The proposed action aligns with Council adopted objective: Operate in a financially sustainable manner.

This program meets the Strategic Plan objectives by reducing the City's use of electricity, water, and gas in city facilities while allowing the City to enhance and improve the environmental quality of the valley through good stewardship of limited resources.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Under the proposed Investment Grade Audit, financing for the entire approximate total of $9,096,000 would be from the net energy savings resulting from the program. This funding stream would be subject to ongoing measurement and verification of ongoing savings to confirm actual savings.

Alternative funding of the program may be developed using various grants and revenue sources, to reduce the length of the financing terms and to pay for less expensive elements of the program. Such funding sources may include fund balance, water conservation funding through both the City's Water Division and Eastern Municipal Water District, American Rescue Plan funding or other grants.

ALTERNATIVE(S):

Accept the findings of the Audit, and take no further action, or provide additional direction as appropriate.

1.3 INTEGRATION WITH STRATEGIC PLAN
City of Hemet Mayor, with assistance from City Manager and City Council, has developed a strategic plan for fiscal year 2021/22 and beyond. Outlined in the plan is the vision for City of Hemet, along with concrete action items and success metrics. The Strategic Plan organizes focus into the following categories:
• Improve quality of life
• Promote economic opportunity
• Increase community engagement
• Increase partnering and collaboration
• Improve organizational effectiveness
It is Centrica’s intent to fit within the Strategic Plan and assist with meeting specific goals and metrics.

IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE
In an effort to improve quality of life for Hemet residents, the Strategic Plan dictates enhancing the visual appearance of the community and increasing public safety. Further, a success indicator is described as the total park maintenance expenditures per acre. Centrica’s proposed project shall assist in the following ways:
• Installing new exterior lighting fixtures in parks, buildings, parking lots, and streetsides. The new fixtures shall have a modern look, increasing the aesthetics of the lighting. Further, the new lighting shall provide a consistent color temperature and more visual pleasing lighting pattern. • Increase light levels in the park shall assist in making the parks more safe. • The solar arrays to be installed in the parking lots of Police and Library shall provide an update to the aesthetics of the area.
• The solar arrays at Police and Library shall be paired with battery energy storage and a microgrid controller. This shall provide energy resiliency to Police Station as additional backup power in the event of electric service issues.
• Updated irrigation controllers in parks shall reduce maintenance and increase the health of existing turf.
• LED lighting at parks shall reduce the maintenance burden because LEDs last 3-4 time longer than the existing lighting technology.

Success will be measured in following ways:
• Light levels at Parks shall be measured before and after installation. Success will be indicated by an increase in light levels.
• Police station resiliancy will create a safer environment for city residents by enabling police to remain operational during power failure. Success will be indicated by decreased operation of existing generator. An ancillary measure of success shall be indicated should electric grid failure occurs and Police operations are not interupted.

INCREASE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
The Strategic Plan details the goals of increasing transparency for the public, increasing community’s pride within the City, and delivering messaging to the Community that connects. A success indicator for these goals is stated as “percent increase of social media followers.” Centrica’s proposed project shall assist in the following ways:
• Work with city staff to create a public relations release on social media networks detailing the project.
• Work with City IT staff to create a live graphic for the City’s website to show the benefits of the solar arrays at Police Station and City Yard. The graphic shall show the total energy production of the solar arrays, as well as the amount of carbon dioxide emissions offset and its equivalency in environmental benefits.
• Centrica shall conduct free community workshops with City council to educate residents on home and commercial energy savings, water efficiency, and renewable technologies.

Success will be measured in following ways:
• Increased traffic to City website and social media pages • Community Workshop attendance

IMPROVE ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
In order to improve organizational effectiveness, the Strategic Plan specifies operating in a financially sustainable manner, ensuring continuity with industry best practices, and increasing employee retention through training. It further emphasizes the need to create a public works maintenance schedule in line with existing staffing. Centrica shall assist with these goals in the following ways:
• Reduce maintenance through replacement of end of life HVAC equipment • Reduce repair and replacement costs through the installation of long-life LED lighting • Train Public Works staff in the proper operation and maintenance of new equipment • Provide Public Works with maintenance schedule for new equipment, in line with industry standards
• Control utility costs by reducing existing energy and water costs, and by producing electricity onsite via solar arrays.

Success will be measured in following ways:
• Number of HVAC units replaced under emergency conditions shall be reduced • Reduction in maintenance budget for lighting replacements • Adherence of Public Works to preventative maintenace schedule • Reduction in electric, natural gas, and water costs

RECOMMENDATION
Centrica recommends replacing fixtures/ lamps identified in Table 9 with an LED solution. All fixtures and retrofit kits shall be DesignLights Consortium (DLC) approved. Motion sensors and lighting controls shall be installed where required to comply with CA Title 24 energy code.

Existing fixtures, lamps, and ballasts, as well as any metal and cardboard will be recycled. Centrica will be responsible for disposal and recycling of existing lighting fixtures. Centrica will provide all necessary aerial equipment for safe and proper replacement of light fixtures in accordance with Cal/OSHA and local codes and ordinances.

Table 10 provides a summary of proposed lighting upgrades by fixture type. Appendix A provides detailed line-by-line summary of lighting upgrades and locations. Appendix C provides cut sheets for materials described in Table 10.

SAVINGS SUMMARY
Savings for lighting measures are based on two components:
• Energy savings associated with a reduction in lamp/fixture power • Reduction in operating costs associated with the increased life of new LED lighting.

For each site, lighting energy savings for retrofits are based on following calculation:

Energy Savings (kWh/yr) = (kWbefore - kWafter) × Operating Hours Retrofit strategies are developed and calculations are repeated for proposed or post-retrofit configuration. Further, installation of occupancy sensor control is anticipated to reduce annual hours of operation in those spaces where sensors are installed. While savings from occupancy sensors are expected, savings associated with a reduction in operating hours have not been estimated for this FIM.

Annual operating cost savings are based on replacement costs for ballasts and lamps as shown in following calculation. Note that no labor savings are included, only material replacement costs. Table 11 shows replacement cost savings using equation below.

Replacement Cost Savings = Quantity × Unit Annual Cost per Item Table 11 – Lighting Lamp and Ballast Material Cost Savings Components

4.3 FIM #3: ADVANCED LIGHTING CONTROLS
Annual Cost Savings Implementation Cost Incentive/Rebate $0 $43,125 $0

FACILITIES AFFECTED
This FIM will be completed at the following sites:
• Library

OBSERVATIONS
A detailed audit of existing advanced lighting controls was conducted at library. Library is equipped with 2 advanced lighting control panels: one located in downstairs electrical room and second located in upstairs electrical room. Downstairs panel is a WattStopper ACPNET 32120. Panel upstairs is a subpanel HPSM 115/277. System is currently not functional and lighting in library is controlled manually via override.

RECOMMENDATION
Centrica recommends replacing existing advanced lighting controls with new Lutron based system.

Panels in both upstairs and downstairs will be replaced with Lutron XPS36-1204ML-20. All low voltage wiring to power packs, bridges, switches, etc. will be replaced or installed as necessary.

New lighting control system will enable scheduling of all luminaires controlled by previous advanced lighting control system. New system will not add or expand control zones; it will restore full scheduling functionality to library.

SAVINGS SUMMARY
Savings for this FIM are associated with energy conservation related to reducing operating hours during unoccupied times for controlled areas.

Although Centrica believes this measure will yield some electric savings through reduced operating hours, we did not claim any energy savings for the measure. City of Hemet already operates system efficiently by only keeping lights on when occupied. However, a working advanced lighting control system would ease burden of labor on maintenance staff to manually operate lighting efficiently.

RECOMMENDATION
Centrica recommends replacing forty-two (34) HVAC units that consist of one (1) evaporative cooler at Brubaker Park, sixteen (7) split system units and twenty-five (27) packaged units throughout the city.

Existing units in Table 23 have a minimum age of 15 years and are showing signs of significate

degradation. The new units contain environmentally safe refrigerant, are easy to install, and are more efficient than the current installed systems.

The current specification is to replace all units ton-for-ton with new Carrier equipment. Where needed, curb adapters will be installed to ensure a matching fit to the existing duct work. Low-leak economizers and factory installed VFD controllers shall be included where required by CA Title 24. Data sheets for the new RTUs are provided in Appendix C.

SAVINGS SUMMARY
Cost savings can be obtained from both energy savings and maintenance savings by replacing these older units with new units. Energy savings is based upon the improved operating efficiencies of the new equipment and has been determined using ASHRAE standard comparison calculations for climatic conditions. As HVAC equipment ages, performance levels decrease due to general wear of motors, compressors, heat exchangers, actuators, and linkages. In our energy calculations, we have assumed that the base level performance has decreased for the existing units.

Energy Savings (kWh/yr) = Existing Usage – Proposed Usage Usage (Cooling kWh) = Clg Tonnage x 12,000 (Btuh/ton) x EFLCH ÷1,000 (W/kW) ÷ Existing EER Usage (Heating therms) = Htg Capacity (Btu/h) x EFLHH ÷100,000 (Btu/h/therm) ÷ Htg Efficiency (%) Maintenance savings are based on annual R-22 refrigerant loss and cost per pound for annual recharging. R-22 refrigerant is no longer being manufacturer in the United States and continues to increase in price every year.

4.5 FIM #5: CHILLED WATER SYSTEM UPGRADES
Annual Cost Savings Implementation Cost Incentive/Rebate $14,075 $445,902 $4,000

FACILITIES AFFECTED
This FIM will be completed at the following site:
• Library

OBSERVATION
Cooling is provided to Library via (56) fan coil units (FCUs). Each FCU contains a chilled water coil controlled with a 3-way valve and digital actuator. A single water-cooled, 130-ton screw chiller produces chilled water to be distributed to the building via (2) 10 horsepower chilled water pumps. The (2) chilled water pumps operate in a lead-lag configuration, meaning only one is running at any given time. The pumps operate at constant speed during cooling season and are off during heating. Heat rejection from the chiller is provided by an EVAPCO cooling tower. The cooling tower has a single constant speed 10 horsepower fan motor, and condenser water is circulated via a 2-horsepower constant speed pump.

The cooling system at Library was installed in 2004 and is showing numerous issues. Issues identified during the site walk are provided in the list below:
• Cooling tower is leaking. Visible rust in the basin was detected and significant deterioration of media was observed.
• The chiller has issues with compressor stages failing. Maintenance is fixing this as needed. • Chiller controls are operated manually, not according to sequence of operations. • Chilled water pumps operate at constant speed.

RECOMMENDATION
Centrica recommends demolishing existing EVAPCO enclosure which houses the chiller, cooling tower, and chilled water pumps/motors. Maintenance staff have shown concern over the amount of repair work needed for water-cooled system which has driven our decision to propose an air-cooled chiller with similar nominal cooling capacity. Air cooled chiller will eliminate the need for water treatment and will save additional maintenance by not having condenser water pump and cooling tower fans.

Centrica also recommends converting the existing chilled water loop to variable flow. The Existing chilled water pumps and motors will be replaced in kind and variable frequency drives will be installed on new inverter-duty motors. A chilled water bypass loop will be installed to accommodate excess flow.

All chilled water valves in FCUs shall be replaced with two-way valves.

SAVINGS SUMMARY
Cost savings can be obtained from the energy savings associated with upgrading existing chiller to a new Title 24 complaint air-cooled chiller. Additional energy saving will also be added due to the elimination of the condenser water pump and cooling tower fans that are needed for water-cooled chillers. Energy

Energy savings for chilled water loop variable frequency drives were based on a motor load profile and pump laws in which the power of the motor decreases as a cubic function of the speed. A factor of 2.5 was used rather than 3 to ensure the savings estimates are conservative. The minimum VFD speed is limited at 40% to ensure minimum flowrates are maintained through the chillers.

4.6 FIM #6: HOT WATER SYSTEM UPGRADES
Annual Cost Savings Implementation Cost Incentive/Rebate $1,105 $268,132 $749

FACILITIES AFFECTED
This FIM will be completed at the following sites:
• Library

OBSERVATION
Heating is provided to Library via (56) fan coil units (FCUs). Each FCU contains a hot water coil controlled with a 3-way valve and digital actuator. Two 830 MBH hot water boilers produce hot water to be distributed to the building via (2) 5 horsepower hot water pumps. The (2) hot water boilers operate in a lead-lag configuration; however, one boiler is inoperable. The pumps operate at constant speed during heating season and are off during cooling.

RECOMMENDATION
Centrica recommends replacing both hot water boilers with matching Raypak hot water boilers due to ongoing maintenance issues and faulty equipment. Centrica also recommends converting the existing hot water loop to variable flow. The Existing hot water pumps and motors will be replaced in kind and variable frequency drives will be installed on new inverter-duty motors. Hot water valves in FCUs shall be replaced with two-way valves.

SAVINGS SUMMARY
The energy savings for this measure are achieved by decreasing the pump speed using Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). Variable frequency drives (VFD’s) will be installed on the two 5 horsepower pumps that feed the chilled water loop. The use of a variable speed drive will allow the pumps to modulate speed depending on system load. Energy savings are associated with a reduction in the power consumed by the pumps. Savings for the installation of VFDs were calculated using a spreadsheet model.

Energy savings were based on a motor load profile and pump laws in which the power of the motor decreases as a cubic function of the speed. A factor of 2.5 was used rather than 3 to ensure the savings estimates are conservative. The minimum VFD speed is limited at 40% to ensure minimum flowrates are maintained through the chillers.

4.7 FIM #7: BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM REPLACEMENT
Annual Cost Savings Implementation Cost Incentive/Rebate $13,420 $338,489 $0

FACILITIES AFFECTED
This FIM will be completed at the following sites:
• Library

OBSERVATION
During Centrica’s site audit, we were made aware that the Tracer Summit building management controls systems for the central plant HVAC system was inoperable and needs immediate attention. The system is meant to control all aspects of the HVAC system which include the chiller, hot wate broiler, pumps, Fan Coil Units (FCUs), rooftop make-up air units, exhaust fans, etc. The controls system is also supposed to provide centralized access to monitor the system with ease. At this time, the maintenance staff does not have the ability to use Tracer Summit for it intended purpose and must manually adjust the components of the overall system at induvial points. This includes all fifty-two FCUs throughout the entire facility.

RECOMMENDATION
Centrica recommends replacing all direct digital controls components, software and programming including control panels / backplates, controllers, transformers, sensors (duct temperature, motor current, room temperature, outside air temperature, etc.), transmitters, actuators, control valves and relays. This will allow maintenance staff and library works to easily adjust system for comfort during occupancy and reducing runtime during unoccupied hours. Below is a list of IO points that will gain control after switching to new BMS controls.

SAVINGS SUMMARY
Centrica has been made aware that the fan coil units at Public Library are manually set to run without any zone temperature or thermostat control.

A reduction of 3,650 runtime hours at each fan coil was made to match the occupied hours assessed at the Public Library.

Energy Usage = Motor HP x 0.746 kW/HP x Hours of Operation/Year x Part Load Factor / Motor Efficiency
Energy Savings (kWh/yr) = Existing Usage – Proposed Usage Electric Energy Cost ($) = Energy Usage x Electric Cost($/kWh) The desired cooling season temperature is below the current average building temperature. A correction to 74°F was used to determine savings associated with improved control through the BMS. A bin temperature analysis was performed based on the parameters, observed temperatures and the recommended changes summarized below
The following savings calculations are used for the temperature correction and setback at all the facilities. The same calculation will be used for cooling and heating. The “n” in the equation below represents the BIN for that specific calculation.

FACILITIES AFFECTED
This FIM will be completed at the following sites:
• City Yard
• Police, Fire Station 1, Council Chambers
• Simpson Center
• Brubaker Park
A savings summary for the affected sites is provided in Table 37.

Simpson Center $2,545 $0 $2,545
Brubaker Park $1,005 $0 $1,005
TOTAL $10,222 $0 $10,222

OBSERVATIONS
During the preliminary site walk-through, three (8) older transformers were noted that are good candidates for replacement. These transformers waste energy, and this cost for waste is included on the utility bill. The transformers were “warm” to the touch and made excessive noise. This heat which makes them warm is wasted energy and thus is an area for potential savings.

RECOMMENDATION
Although often overlooked because of their more challenging economics for replacement, often difficult locations, and typical low priority compared to other measures, installing more efficient transformers can offer significant savings over the life of the transformer (often over 50 years). Centrica Business Solutions believes replacing the transformer with a very high-efficiency, custom-built device will provide valuable infrastructure improvements along with long-term energy savings.

SAVINGS SUMMARY
Savings associated with replacing the transformers with more efficient transformers is based on the construction, age, size, and the loading of the transformer. Secondary transformers are the typical target, particularly those that are 20-30 years old. More efficient transformers are constructed with better coils and are designed to reduce losses at part loads.

The savings were calculated using a tool that incorporates a database of historical transformer performance, using the age, make, model, and conditions to determine an expected efficiency of the existing transformers. Centrica Business Solutions engineers created an inventory of the existing transformers and validated their age, make, model, and location and then conducted a more detailed audit to identify the specific candidate transformers for replacement. This existing transformer was compared to high efficiency replacements of the same kVA rating to determine the energy and cost savings. Table 38 below lists the transformers targeted for replacement.

4.9 FIM #9: NETWORKABLE THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
Annual Cost Savings Implementation Cost Incentive/Rebate $4,572 $241,007 $0

FACILITIES AFFECTED
This FIM will be completed at the following site:
• City Hall
• City Yard
• Gang Task Force
• PACT
• Police, Fire Station 1, Council Chambers
• Simpson Center
• SWAT Command/ GIT
• Fire Station 2
• Fire Station 4

OBSERVATION
The city currently controls their HVAC units through standalone programmable thermostats located in each facility. The lack of programming capability at most locations means that turning the system on/off or making changes to the setpoints must be made at the physical locations. This leads to wasted energy in several ways. First, in the few cases per year where the occupants forget to turn off the systems at night, they will continue to run and cause significant energy charges. The current thermostats also leave the temperature setpoints to the discretion of the occupants, not allowing the District to achieve their desired energy savings by keeping setpoints at their desired level. Maintenance staff need to rely on faculty to notify them of HVAC issues which may or may not be a programming issue. As such, the addition of networkable and programmable thermostats will allow both issues to be solved and provide potentially significant energy and operational savings.

RECOMMENDATION
Centrica Business Solutions recommends installing networkable thermostats for each of the AC and heating systems at the thirteen (13) sites provided in the list above. The networkable capability means that they will be connected the sites’ internet networks, so the equipment can be viewed and controlled remotely. The proposed system will provide a front-end control interface where maintenance staff can view temperatures and equipment statuses, set schedules, and change setpoints remotely. It will also provide many more options for locking out local thermostat control, setting control setpoint ranges, and allowing various options for scheduling. The identified units included in scope are as follows:

SAVINGS SUMMARY
Savings for this FIM are associated with energy conservation related to reducing the temperature setpoints and implementing setbacks through the new control system. These measures will allow the AC units and furnaces to have reduced operating hours through temperature control and setting back the setpoints during unoccupied times or used areas.

Although Centrica believes this measure will yield some electric and gas energy savings through reduced operating hours and stricter setpoints, we did not claim any energy savings for the measure. City of Hemet already operates the system effectively by only keeping the systems on when they are occupied, and they make sure setpoints are not too aggressive.

Energy Savings Summary
The following savings calculations are used for the temperature correction and setback at all the facilities. The same calculation will be used for cooling and heating. The “n” in the equation below represents the BIN for that specific calculation.

OBSERVATION
Throughout City buildings there are many printers, monitors, water fountains, and other “plug-loads”, that constantly draw power. The loads on each of these circuits are often left on at all times of the day even if there is not demand for use. Further, many of these office appliances utilize a standby mode, which uses power even when the device appears to be off. An inventory of office equipment with these properties is listed in the table below:

RECOMMENDATION
Centrica recommends installing networkable outlets for the equipment listed in Table 32 above. The new outlets shall come equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities and will communicate back to a network gateway for remote access. The remote capabilities will allow for scheduling of the outlet devices so power is cut when occupants are not present. Further, override buttons shall be physically located on the outlets in order to provide occupants power should “off-hour” use of controlled office equipment be necessary.

SAVINGS SUMMARY
Energy savings are obtained through scheduling devices off during unoccupied hours. It must be noted that modern office equipment typically has a standby power mode, so savings are not obtained for the full power draw of the equipment. Savings are calculated using the following formulas:

Baseline Electric Consumption (kWh/yr) = Existing Equipment Wattage x Existing Annual Operating Hours Proposed Electric Consumption (kWh/yr) = Existing Equipment Wattage x Proposed Annual Operating Hours
Annual Electric Savings (kWh/yr) = Proposed Electric Consumption – Baseline Electric Consumption

• Police, Fire Station 1, Council Chambers
The City of Hemet currently does not own any solar PV installations at either of the facilities noted above as we observed in our Investment Grade Audit (IGA). Several system types and locations had been considered at the above properties prior to identifying the proposed locations for solar PV. During our site walk we confirmed each building’s existing electrical service, switch gear and PV system point of interconnection. Due to the extensive conduit runs and obstructions, under-ground boring technology was discussed to physically connect the PV systems to the existing electrical systems. Underground public utilities will need to be located prior to construction.

RECOMMENDATION
Centrica will install three solar PV systems as summarized below:
• 141 kW (DC) Roof-mount solar PV system
• 40 kW (DC) Roof-mount solar PV system
• 531 kW (DC) Carport solar PV system
The PV system located next to Police/Fire Station 1 will be installed as Host PV system with the Library system utilizing the SCE Net Energy Meter Aggregation (NEMA) Program.

Total $2,115 $575 $2,690

OBSERVATION
Police Station, Council Chambers, Fire Station 1, and City Hall have old single pane windows with metal frames. These windows have low R-values which result in greater heat transfer from the outside temperature to the conditioned space. As time progresses, the windows and seals corrode resulting in significant infiltration and creating comfort issues associated with “drafty” windows.

Fire Station 1 is a two-story building with a stairwell leading to living quarters on the second floor. A ceiling height window runs from the perpendicular to the stairs. The window has been identified as a potential safety hazard as fire fighters may trip running down the stairs and break through the window.

An inventory of the windows to be replaced is provided in the table below:

RECOMMENDATION
Centrica proposes to retrofit the existing windows listed in Table 41 with a supplemental window retrofit system.

With a supplemental window system, the existing single
pane windows shall be cleaned and remain in place. A
new double pane window shall be created to match the
existing frame size. The new window will be mounted
to the existing frame and sealed to make it airtight.

Krypton gas shall be charged into the space between the old single pane window and the new double pane
window to provide additional thermal insulative
properties. To account for extra the potential safety
hazard in Fire Station 4, the bottom pane shall be
retrofit with a supplemental window that has shatterproof glass. Before and after pictures can be seen above.

SAVINGS SUMMARY
There are three components that affect energy related to the efficacy of windows: conduction, infiltration, and radiation. Conduction occurs when there is a temperature difference between indoor air and outdoor air. Energy flows naturally from high to low temperatures, so heat is either gained or loss depending on heating or cooling seasons. Infiltration occurs when cracks exist in window frames.

Cracks in window frames leads to drafty rooms as well as lose energy through airflow penetrating or existing window cracks. Radiation is heat into a building due to solar energy directed through windows.

The heat is absorbed into furniture, carpet and directly into the air, placing further demand on heating and cooling systems.

Baseline Conduction Energy (Btu/yr) = Existing Window U-Value (Btu/h/sq ft/deg F) x Area of Window (sq ft) x (Outdoor Temperature – Indoor Temperature) (deg F) x Annual hours at each temperature Baseline Infiltration Energy (Btu/yr) = 1.08 x Existing Flowrate Through Cracks (cfm) x (Outdoor Temperature – Indoor Temperature) x Annual hours at each temperature Baseline Radiation Energy (Btu/yr) = Solar Heat Gain Coefficient of Existing Windows x Area of Window (sq ft) x Solar Flux on Window Surface (Btu/h/sq ft) Annual hours at each temperature Total Baseline Energy (Btu/yr) = Baseline Conduction Energy + Baseline Infiltration Energy + Baseline Radiation Energy
Proposed Conduction Energy (Btu/yr) = Proposed Window U-Value x Area of Window x (Outdoor Temperature – Indoor Temperature)
Proposed Infiltration Energy (Btu/yr) = 1.08 x Proposed Flowrate Through Cracks (cfm) x (Outdoor Temperature – Indoor Temperature) x Annual hours at each temperature Proposed Radiation Energy (Btu/yr) = Solar Heat Gain Coefficient of Proposed Windows x Area of Window (sq ft) x Solar Flux on Window Surface (Btu/h/sq ft) Annual hours at each temperature Annual Water Savings (gal/ yr) = Proposed Consumption (gal/ yr) - Baseline Water Consumption (gal/yr)
