ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
Consider Minute Order Approval of Submittal of Streamlined Savings Pathway Program (SSP) Application and Proposal to Southern California Regional Energy Network (SoCalREN) for Energy Efficient Equipment for the Property Located at 860 North Sequoia Avenue, Lindsay, CA (APN: 201- 150-008-000) and Authorize City Manager to Execute Any Documents Thereto.

BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
The City of Lindsay first enrolled with SoCalREN in 2020 to take advantage of the no-cost technical, financial, and project management services available to help the City of Lindsay move energy efficiency projects from conception to completion. After a site visit of the Lindsay Wellness Center was conducted, six (6) energy efficiency measures were identified; Pool Pump VFD, Interior Lighting Retrofits, Exterior Lighting Retrofits, Package Unit Replacement, Advanced Wifi Thermostat, and Vending Miser.

At the November 09, 2021, City Council regular meeting, Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with SoCalREN and execute any documents thereto. SoCalREN is assisting the City of Lindsay with completing identified energy efficiency projects in an expedited manner, with an anticipated construction start date of September 2022.

SoCalREN’s new Streamlined Savings Pathway program (SSP) was introduced to the agency in March 2022. After receiving the predictability analysis results, SoCalREN consultants recommended that the city pursue the Streamlined Savings Pathway program, as it was seen as the best incentive option for the city.

Following approval by Council, the application will be reviewed, procurement would begin, and construction would be tentative to begin in September of 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding from Lindsay Hospital District for gross project cost is $323,882 dollars was approved on October 19, 2021, by their Board. The measures will save the City of Lindsay about 87,183 kWh/year, with an estimated savings per year of $22,422 dollars to the Lindsay Wellness Center Fund 400.

The City of Lindsay first enrolled with SoCalREN in 2020 to take advantage of the no-cost services available to help the agency move energy efficiency projects from conception to completion. After a site visit of the Lindsay Wellness Center was conducted, SoCalREN discovered the facility is currently running 19.7% less efficient than the national GHG Emissions level median (Appendix A). On the site visit, six energy efficiency measures were identified: Pool Pump VFD, Interior Lighting Retrofits, Exterior Lighting Retrofits, Package Unit Replacement, Advanced Wifi Thermostat, and Vending Miser. The following proposal outlines the estimated cost associated with the six measures.

Benefits of this project include improving safety and reliability, increasing occupant comfort, reducing maintenance costs, hedging against increasing utility costs, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 70 metric tons annually, which equates to taking 15 cars off the road.

Appendix B: Financial Metrics Definitions
4 Gross Project Cost: the total of all construction costs for each measure including direct labor, materials, equipment, the contractor’s adjustment factor and all task order processing fees.

Net Present Value (NPV): NPV takes into account the time value of money and indicates what a project’s lifetime cash flow is worth today. NPV is determined by taking the sum of the present value of all current and future cash flows, including purchase and installation costs, and future utility and maintenance savings.

Reimbursable Costs: Money returned by the utilities after the project has been installed with the Installation Report submitted and approved.

Simple Payback Period (SPP): the amount of time required to recover the initial costs of a project from its savings. A simple payback period ignores the time value of money and assumes that future savings occur in even amounts each year. For example, a $1,000 investment that saves $500 each year has a two-year simple payback period. A project is economically acceptable if the payback period is less than the length of the project life.

SPP = Net Project Cost ($) / Annual Savings ($/yr)
Financing Assumptions
Discount Rate 2.95%
Utility Escalation Rate for 2021 4%
Utility Escalation Rate for 2022+ 4%
Inflation Rate 4%
Maintenance Savings
(% of Gross Project Cost)
3%
Project Lease Interest Rate 2.45%
Project Lease Interest Rate: The interest rate used is an indicative rate and does not represent an offer from SoCalREN or its partners. Actual borrowing rate will be determined when a project and financing is approved and will take in to account each agencies credit profile, needs, and financing terms and structure.

Estimates of potential Investor-Owned Utility (IOU) incentives and On-Bill Financing funding values are based on the most up-to-date information available from the corresponding utility. Utilities reserve the right to change and/or terminate funding for Energy Efficiency projects based on evolving priorities as determined by California Public Utilities Commission directives. These changes can happen without notice. Furthermore, errors in submitted documentation, delays in project implementation, and lack of adherence to utility program requirements can all impact the final IOU Incentive and On-Bill Financing values and approvals.

2. Executive Summary
This project was developed as a result of collaborative efforts between the City of Lindsay and the Southern California Regional Energy Network Public Agency Program (SoCalREN). The City of Lindsay enrolled with SoCalREN (SCR) in 2020 to take advantage of the no-cost services available to help the agency move energy efficiency projects from conception to completion. Based on the no-cost technical, financial, and project management services offered by SoCalREN, the City of Lindsay has chosen to move forward with this energy efficiency project.

Since the Lindsay Wellness Center is the City’s largest energy consumer, the facility was targeted in hopes of finding opportunities for energy efficiency. Six Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) were identified: 1) Pool Pump VFD, 2) Interior Lighting Retrofits, 3) Exterior Lighting Retrofits, 4) Package Unit Replacement, 5) Advanced Wifi Thermostats (Optimum Start/Stop), and 6) Vending Miser. These measures are estimated to see a reduction of 87,183 kWh annually, equating to the City seeing an annual utility bill reduction of $22,422. Additional benefits of this project include improving safety and reliability, increasing occupant comfort, reducing maintenance costs, hedging against increasing utility costs, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 70 metric tons annually, which equates to taking 15 cars off the road. The Lindsay Wellness Center continues to serve its local community and plans to expand its current programs and offerings to include more partnerships and courses with the local school district and youth camps and programming.

2.2 Project Drivers

1. When and how was the original communication with the customer initiated by the IOU/implementer/developer? o Describe when and how the Customer was made aware of the program’s features and measures for this project.
i. In February 2020, The City of Lindsay was made aware of SoCalREN’s program capabilities when they enrolled in the SoCalREN Public Agency Program (Attachment A: City of Lindsay Signed Enrollment Form, 2.11.20). SoCalREN presented a Comparative Energy Analysis report (CEA) to the agency on June 1, 2020 and the Lindsay Wellness Center (LWC) was identified as the highest consuming facility and was therefore prioritized for moving forward with energy efficiency (EE) projects. Later that week, SoCalREN sent a follow-up email to the city outlining the presentation’s key takeaways and next steps (Attachment B: CEA Follow-up email, 6.5.20). The Comparative Energy Analysis document was revised on June 18, 2020 based on feedback from the agency. (Attachment C: City of Lindsay CEA, 6.18.20).

SW Project Feasibility Study V1.0 Page 6 | 26
ii. With the City of Lindsay showing interest in exploring energy efficiency opportunities at the Wellness Center, a SoCalREN contracted engineer from TRC and SoCalREN conducted a site visit in August 2020. TRC identified initial measures at the facility and SoCalREN presented an Initial Measures List (IML) (Attachment D: LWC IML, 12.2.20) as well as an Agency Services Plan (ASP) on December 2, 2020 (Attachment E: LWC ASP, 12.2.20). An updated version of the Initial Measures List was presented to the agency on April 15, 2021 with relevant project costs in preparation for a project budget request (Attachment F: LWC Updated IML, 4.15.20). o Has customer thought about potential upgrades, do they know the approximate cost to do so? Are they aware of potential utility incentives? Are they aware of the benefits (EE and non-energy)? i. A follow up of the Initial Measures List presentation included the discussed preliminary savings, costs, and project pathway eligibility including standard IOU incentives, the SoCal Edison Performance-Based Retrofit Program, and SoCalREN’s Metered Savings Program (MSP) in addition to highlighting various Distributed Energy Resource (DER) measures (Attachment G: IML Followup email, pages 1-2, 12.9.20). Additionally, a Distributed Energy Resources audit report (also known as a Pathway to Zero report) was later prepared by SoCalREN and was provided to the city on December 16, 2021 (Attachment H: City of Lindsay DER Audit Report, 12.16.21). The Distributed Energy Resources audit report outlined potential projects the city could consider the following year as well as a copy of the Distributed Energy Resources calculations. ii. SoCalREN’s new Streamlined Savings Pathway program (SSP) was introduced to the agency in March 2022. After receiving the predictability analysis results, SoCalREN consultants recommended that the city pursue the Streamlined Savings Pathway program instead of the Metered Savings Program (Attachment I: LWC Bi-weekly Meeting Minutes, page 2, 3.24.22). Due to the new recreational programs and events that the Lindsay Wellness Center has implemented, there were concerns that it would be difficult to track Metered Savings Program energy savings as highlighted in the Predictability Analysis (Attachment J: LWC Predictability Analysis, 3.25.22).

SoCalREN informed the agency the Streamlined Savings Pathway Program program had comparable incentives (See Appendix A: Streamlined Savings Pathway Incentive Calculations) and offered the same SoCalREN support services as the Metered Savings Program, and that the best incentive option for the city moving forward was SoCalREN's Streamlined Savings Pathway Program. SoCalREN invited the city to their Streamlined Savings Pathway Program informational webinar that was held on March 30, 2022. Lisa Davis, the city’s recreation director, attended the webinar. On April 1, 2022, following the webinar, Lisa confirmed the city wanted to move forward with pursuing SoCalREN’s Streamlined Savings Pathway Program (Attachment K: SSP Program Confirmation Email, page 1, 4.1.22). Please reference (Appendix B) for Streamlined Savings Pathway program project proposal shared with the agency April 20, 2022. o Include cases of potentially negative influence including when the customer first initiated contact and why.
i. Negative influence is not applicable

2. What are the pre-existing conditions of the energy consuming systems or equipment on the customer’s facility? SW Project Feasibility Study V1.0 Page 7 | 26
o What is the age of this equipment?
i. The Lindsay Wellness Center was built in 2010. The existing equipment has not been updated or replaced since the initial installation. These original existing systems include: constant speed pool pump, metal Halide interior lighting, Halogen and Fluorescent exterior lighting, package AC units with degraded efficiency, non-programmable thermostats, and refrigerated vending machine that runs 24/7 (Attachment F: LWC Updated IML, page 2 Table, 4.15.20). o If the age is difficult to establish, what makes you believe you can estimate the equipment age? i. See comment above.
o What upgrades or component replacements have been done? i. See comment above.

3. Does the facility suffer from any pain points, things they don’t like, or anything they are unhappy about with their current systems or equipment?
o Is the equipment very old or does it no longer meeting load/production? How were these issues identified?
i. Lindsay Wellness Center has not expressed any pain points. From SoCalREN’s analysis identifying potential energy efficient equipment upgrades at the Wellness Center, the agency was interested in replacing their existing equipment with energy efficient equipment that has programmable capability to adjust with facility demand time or facility closings, ultimately reducing their high energy consumption at the Wellness Center (Attachment F: LWC Updated IML, page 2 Table,

4.15.21).
o Any anecdotal evidence of increased failures, low reliability, increased maintenance? i. There is no anecdotal evidence of increased failures, low reliability, or increased maintenance on this equipment.
o Does the facility need re-programming the EMS/BMS, need re-recommissioning of any systems, not bright enough, buzzing noises or flicker, need to upgrade the “image” of the space? i. The re-programming and retrocomissioning proposed in this project application scope is driven by energy efficiency and the city’s goal of reducing their environmental impact, not by any facility requirements or image upgrades. (Attachment L: City of Lindsay Energy Action Plan (EAP), page 4 Introduction, 2.12.19).

4. What was the Customer planning to do prior to implementer/developer/PA intervention? o Business as usual (do nothing) is not assumed, in fact, the case that they were going to do something needs to be disproven, if possible.
i. Upon initial conversation with the City of Lindsay they had no immediate plans in action to implement energy efficiency measures at their facilities. However, the city introduced an Energy Action Plan (EAP) in February 2019 (Attachment L: EAP, 2.12.19). SoCalREN reviewed the Energy SW Project Feasibility Study V1.0 Page 8 | 26
Action Plan and noted that the city’s prospective EE projects aligned well with SoCalREN’s EE project delivery program.

5. What specific recommendations were made for this project? How were they made? i. SoCalREN identified six energy efficiency measures recommended for Lindsay Wellness Center: 1) Pool Pump VFD, 2) Interior Lighting Retrofits, 3) Exterior Lighting Retrofits, 4) Package Unit Replacements, 5) Advanced Wifi Thermostats, and 6) Vending Miser during the energy audit to provide the city with energy savings, cost savings, project cost (includes COVID markup contingencies), and incentive estimates (Attachment F: LWC Updated IML, 4.15.20), (Attachment M: LWC Costing, 10.2021). The additional COVID markup budget contingency was approved by the city council and is based on current high cost variance. The initial projected project cost estimate remains unchanged.
o Did the customer once partake of any “lost leader” activities offered by the PA such as measure identification, or an energy audit?
i. SoCalREN identified all of the measures within the scope of this application and conducted an energy audit to provide the city with energy savings, cost savings, project cost, and incentive estimates (Attachment F: LWC Updated IML, 4.15.20).
o Describe past energy savings estimates, reports, analyses, problems identified, etc. that were provided to the customer.
i. During the audit site visit in August 2020 at the Lindsay Wellness Center with TRC and SoCalREN, six energy efficiency measures were identified: 1) Pool Pump VFD, 2) Interior Lighting Retrofits, 3) Exterior Lighting Retrofits, 4) Package Unit Replacements, 5) Advanced Wifi Thermostats, and 6) Vending Miser as well as Distributed Energy Resources measures outlined in the Initial Measures List presented in December 2020 (Attachment D: LWC IML, 12.2.20). SoCalREN later presented an updated Initial Measures List in April 2021 with the preliminary savings and project costs that were calculated which further intrigued the city into wanting to pursue the energy efficiency measures (Attachment F: LWC Updated IML, 4.15.21). After the agency decided to pursue the suggested measures, TRC supplied SoCalREN with an audit workbook showing estimated savings of 87,183 kWh, which is 26.5% of the Wellness Center’s annual usage (Attachment N: LWC Audit Workbook, 4.19.22). Please reference (Appendix B) for Streamlined Savings Pathway program project proposal shared with the agency April 20, 2022.

SW Project Feasibility Study V1.0 Page 9 | 26
ii. Due to COVID impacts, SoCalREN recommended to the city that they review and revise the project proposal to include a COVID mark-up related to the current cost catalog. SoCalREN provided expert guidance in assisting the city regarding the cash flow associated with their energy efficiency improvement projects. SoCalREN provided estimated project cost options that included a 15% overall markup and a 25% HVAC markup that reflected the current market conditions related to COVID-19 impacts and supply chain delays (Attachment M: LWC Costing, 10.2021). The Wellness Center director, Lisa Davis, presented the updated project proposal to the city council on November 9, 2021 and SoCalREN was present at the meeting to provide support and to answer any questions (Attachment O: Lindsay City Council Meeting Screenshot, 11.9.21). The additional COVID markup budget contingency was approved by the city council and is based on current high cost variance. The initial projected project cost estimate remains unchanged.

6. What did the customer do after interacting with the program administrator/implementer/developer? o Ex. They were going to do nothing and are now going to move forward with the project. i. Although the city introduced an Energy Action Plan in February 2019 (Attachment L: EAP,

2.12.19), prior to SoCalREN involvement, the city had no immediate plans to implement the energy efficiency measures that were identified by SoCalREN. After interacting with SoCalREN and understanding the project support and available incentives, the city stated interest in continuing to work with SoCalREN to explore the identified EE measures further (Attachment P: LWC Meeting Minutes, page 2 Project Details, 8.18.21).
o Ex. They were going to do the minimum efficiency (non-incentivized measure) and were moved to install the higher efficiency (eligible) measure.
i. See the response in the bullet point above.
o Describe specific discussions and dialogue on key decision points that influenced customer’s decision and enabled the customer to adopt an alternative action that improves final efficiency. i. After the updated Initial Measures List was presented to the agency on April 15, 2021, (Attachment F: LWC Updated IML, 4.15.21), the city expressed a key driver to be SoCalREN’s project management support that is only offered through the SoCalREN program pathways (Attachment P, page 2 section 2b: LWC Meeting Minutes). Lindsay’s city services are limited in staffing, so SoCalREN’s project management services are very valuable to them. SoCalREN’s incentives were also a key driver for the city to complement their budget funding. ii. SoCalREN’s Streamlined Savings Pathway program (SSP) was introduced to the city in March 2022 as a more compatible incentive pathway for the identified Lindsay Wellness Center (LWC) measures. After receiving the revised predictability analysis results, SoCalREN consultants recommended the city pursue the Streamlined Savings Pathway program instead of the Metered Savings Program (MSP) (Attachment I: LWC Bi-weekly Meeting Minutes, page 2, 3.24.22). Due to the new recreational programs and events that the Lindsay Wellness Center has implemented, there were concerns that it would be difficult to track Metered Savings Program energy savings as highlighted in the Predictability Analysis results (Attachment J: LWC Predictability Analysis,

3.25.22). SoCalREN informed the city that the Streamlined Savings Pathway Program program had comparable incentives, (See Appendix A: SSP Incentive Calculations) offered the same SoCalREN valued support services as the Metered Savings Program, and would be the best option for the city moving forward. SoCalREN invited the city’s recreation director, Lisa Davis, to the Streamlined SW Project Feasibility Study V1.0 Page 10 | 26
Savings Pathway Program informational webinar that was held on March 30, 2022. Following the webinar, on April 1, 2022, Lisa Davis confirmed the city wanted to pursue SoCalREN’s Streamlined Savings Pathway Program in order to explore this energy efficiency project with ongoing SoCalREN project management support and incentives (Attachment K: SSP Program Confirmation Email, page 1, 4.1.22). Please reference (Appendix B) for Streamlined Savings Pathway program project proposal shared with the agency April 20, 2022.

7. Who are the Customer decision makers (company role and title) and what were the business requirements that had to be fulfilled in order for the Customer to move forward with the measure/project? i. Neyba Amezcua (current City Services Manager) and Lisa Davis (Wellness/Aquatics/Recreation Director) are key decision-makers for the project at the City of Lindsay. Former City Servicers Manager, Michael Camarena,retired in 2021, and Neyba Amezcua has since taken over his role. o Financial criteria including access to financing, simple payback or ROI, bill savings, demand reduction, etc. i. Although The City of Lindsay introduced an Energy Action Plan in 2019 (Attachment L: EAP,

2.12.19), short-staffing and past financial hardships have not allowed the city to implement many of their energy goals and they expressed project support and additional financing would help them in achieving these goals (Attachment Q: LWC Bi-weekly Meeting Minutes, page 3, 2.24.22).

The Wellness Center director, Lisa Davis, confirmed during a bi-weekly meeting on October 28, 2021 that the Lindsay Local Hospital District Board of Directors approved the proposed capital funding budget inclusive of additional Covid-19 markup costs at their Monthly Board Meeting on October 19, 2021 at the Lindsay Wellness Center (Attachment R: LWC Bi-weekly Meeting Minutes, page 3, 10.28.21). Lisa presented the updated project proposal to the City Council on November 9, 2021 and covered an overall breakdown of project costs and savings (Attachment S:

City of Lindsay Council Meeting Agenda Packet, p185, 11.9.21). The additional COVID markup budget contingency was approved by the city council and is based on current high cost variance.

The initial projected project cost estimate remains unchanged. o If we can identify an EE project that meets their general criteria, when would they be able to move forward? Would they find a budget to do so this year? If not, would OBF allow them to implement it sooner?
i. Yes, if the EE project meets the city’s criteria and if incentives are secured, the city is ready to move forward as soon as possible.

Customers with energy or carbon reduction, green or sustainability goals/plans, show how they were influenced to switch to electricity instead of gas, gas instead of electricity, or to use more water to save electricity or gas, and the net Btu reduction (3-prong test). i. This is not applicable to this project.

pursuing the project. In other words, if not for the program the customer would not be moving forward with the project.
i. EEMs 2-4 are Accelerated Replacement (AR) measures.
o If a measure’s simple payback exceeds its Effective Useful Life (EUL), the Customer should explain the reason(s) behind the business decision to implement the measure(s) even though on paper it appears that the project is not profitable.
o EEMs 2-4 are Accelerated Replacement (AR) measures. The simple payback for EEMs 2, 3 and 5 do not exceed the Effective Useful Life (EUL). For EEM4 the simple payback is 23.3 years and the EUL is 15. o EEM4 was proposed to allow greater synergy between the package units and the proposed thermostats in EEM5. The existing package units are 12 years old and have Remaining Useful Lifespans of only 3 years.

The incremental savings and functionality associated with the HVAC measures were deemed to be greater than the loss of value associated with 3 years of existing HVAC life. o Cost effectiveness should be evaluated on a project-level basis. The project payback period is less than the project EUL.
o (See Appendix J) for Customer Affidavit.
o If a measure’s simple payback is ≤ 2 years without incentives, financial savings should not be used as the primary influence driver.

3. Project Details

3.1 Facility Description
The Lindsay Wellness Center is located in the City of Lindsay in Climate Zone 13. It was built in 2010 and is one of the City’s largest energy users. This 25,000 square foot facility provides various indoor and outdoor programming throughout the year for its local community in the aquatic center and fitness center. The Wellness Center offers group fitness classes, indoor basketball, weight training, and weightlifting areas, as well as an outdoor pool. The upper rooftop of the wellness center currently supports a 23-kW solar PV system. No battery storage systems or electric vehicle charging stations are located on the site. They offer a variety of educational and social activities and allow the community to rent out some event space for birthday parties, corporate events, and other celebrations. They also rent out space to vendors to provide physical therapy services. The Lindsay Wellness Center serves its local high school swim team, and youth community swimmers during the summer, as well as partnering with the local school district to provide water aerobics and other elective courses. Since 2021, they have been a COVID-testing and vaccination site.

Additionally, the PT programs stayed in operation during the COVID-19 pandemic and several indoor programs were transitioned outdoors.

Currently, the Lindsay Wellness Center’s operation hours are Monday through Friday 5am-7:30pm, which will continue until mid-May. Then they extend their hours and stay open until 8pm and add Saturdays 7am-12pm. They provide extended hours for swim team practices on the weekends to host swim meets. Swim meets vary year to year with an average of around 10 per year from March to July. Public pool and swim lessons begin the first Saturday in June and will continue until the end of August. During the summer, the pool runs 7 days a week with private rentals and swim team rentals. A typical Saturday will be around 15 hours of pool time and a Sunday will be around 4 or 5 hours. Annual pool maintenance occurs 6-8 weeks each December/January for therapy and big pools. The pool is shut down and not available for use during this time.

The Lindsay Wellness Center is located in the City of Lindsay in Climate Zone 13. It was built in 2010 and is one of the City’s largest energy users.

4. Proposed Energy Efficient Measures (EEMs)

4.1 EEM 1 – Pool Pump VFD (Measure/Solution Code TBD)
Effective Useful Life (EUL)/Remaining Useful Life (RUL):

The effective useful life (EUL) for the vending miser is 5 years. The calculated weighted EUL for this measure can be viewed in the CPUC EUL Calculator (See Appendix F).

SW Project Feasibility Study V1.0 Page 14 | 26
Source: Based on EUL ID: Motors-fan, AOE would be capped at 5 years which is RUL for Motors-fan Standard Practice Discussion:

This measure does not trigger Title 24. The existing pump and motor are being kept. The variable speed drive (VFD) will maintain a minimum filtration turnover rate of 6 hours to maintain compliance with Title 24, Chapter 31B, Section 3124B.

Existing Equipment/System Operation:

The Lindsay Wellness Center was constructed in 2010 - all equipment being replaced or modified is original to the building’s construction.

The Wellness Center contains a 320,400-gallon pool that is circulated using a 20-HP pump. The pump runs at 890 gallons per minute at a constant speed, using a motor with a rated efficiency of 91%. To maintain minimum filtration requirements, the pump runs 24/7. The pool is shut down for annual maintenance that occurs during DecemberJanuary.

The baseline system is detailed in the “Wellness Center Pool VFD” spreadsheet (See Appendix G) Proposed Equipment/System Operation:

This measure will install a VFD on the 20-HP pump serving the pool. The VFD will allow the pump to reduce its speed to 60% during unoccupied periods, while maintaining a minimum turnover rate of 6 hours per filtration cycle while the pool is in use.

The proposed system is detailed in the “Wellness Center Pool VFD” spreadsheet (See Appendix G).

Calculation Methodology:

This measure was modeled using a custom spreadsheet, “Wellness Center Pool VFD” (See Appendix G). The spreadsheet accounts for the pool’s size and turnover rate, and the motor’s size, efficiency, load factor. The calculations use a VFD exponent of 2.2, which is in line with the DSM Engineering Policy (DSM E-PPICs 005)’s recommendation for fixed geometry, semi closed water systems.

Estimated Savings:

EEM 1 –Pool Pump VFD (Solution/Measure Code - TBD) Estimated Energy Savings Electricity Savings 37,614 kWh
Electric Peak Demand Savings 0 kW
Natural Gas Savings 0 Therms/yr

4.2 EEM 2 - Interior Lighting Upgrades (Measure/Solution Code TBD) Effective Useful Life (EUL)/Remaining Useful Life (RUL):

The effective useful life (EUL) for the vending miser is 12 years. The calculated weighted EUL for this measure can be viewed in the CPUC EUL Calculator (See Appendix F).

Standard Practice Discussion:

SW Project Feasibility Study V1.0 Page 15 | 26
This measure is compliant with Title 24 Section 130.0 and 130.1. The proposed retrofit kits are Design Lights Consortium (DLC) listed as premium efficiency and perform beyond minimum code requirements and industrystandard practice for efficacy. The lights serve a gymnasium space already controlled by Title 24 compliant lighting timers. The proposed Type-A LED tubes do not Trigger Title 24.

Existing Equipment/System Operation:

The interior of the Wellness Center contains (18) 400W metal halide high bay fixtures serving its gymnasium space, and (7) 28W 2-lamp fluorescent T5 surface mounted fixtures serving its kitchen. The gymnasium lighting is controlled on a timer, and the kitchen is controlled via manual switch. The lighting operates from 5AM to 8PM Monday through Friday.

The baseline system is detailed in the “Lighting Calculations” spreadsheet (See Appendix H) Proposed Equipment/System Operation:

This measure will retrofit the existing gymnasium metal halide high bay fixtures with HID to LED retrofit kits, and will replace the kitchen fluorescent T5 tubes with LED T5 Type-A tubes. The retrofit kits and lamps will provide equivalent lighting to the spaces. No controls changes are proposed.

The proposed equipment is detailed in the “Lighting Calculations” spreadsheet (See Appendix H), and specifications are available in the “Specifications” folder (See Appendix D).

Calculation Methodology:

The small quantity of base case linear fluorescent lamps within the measure are specialty fixtures with blue/red color output. Therefore, standard practice was assumed to be equal to their existing consumption.

SW Project Feasibility Study V1.0 Page 16 | 26
The exterior lighting upgrade proposes lamp-only replacements and therefore does not trigger Title 24 code. The proposed lamps are Design Lights Consortium (DLC) listed as premium efficiency and perform beyond industry standard practice for efficacy.

Existing Equipment/System Operation:

The exterior of the Wellness Center contains (12) 100W halogen flood lamps and (2) 28W 3-lamp fluorescent T5 surface mounted fixtures. The fixtures operate on a clock, from 6PM to 9PM Monday through Friday.

The baseline system is detailed in the “Lighting Calculations” spreadsheet (See Appendix H).

Proposed Equipment/System Operation:

This measure will replace the existing exterior halogen flood lamps and fluorescent T5 tubes with equivalent LED TypeA lamps. The lamps will provide equivalent lighting to the spaces. No controls changes are proposed.

The proposed equipment is detailed in the “Lighting Calculations” spreadsheet (See Appendix H), and specifications are available in the “Specifications” folder (See Appendix D).

Calculation Methodology:

Savings were calculated using a custom spreadsheet. The custom spreadsheet accounts for HVAC interactive effects and lighting coincident diversity factors using DEER2020 multipliers. Baseline fixture wattages were determined using Lighting Standard Fixture Wattages (See Appendix C)
The small quantity of base case linear fluorescent lamps within the measure are specialty fixtures with blue/red color output. Therefore, standard practice was assumed to be equal to their existing consumption.

4.4 EEM 4 Package Unit Replacements (Measure/Solution Code TBD) Effective Useful Life (EUL)/Remaining Useful Life (RUL):

The effective useful life (EUL) for the vending miser is 15 years. The calculated weighted EUL for this measure can be viewed in the CPUC EUL Calculator (See Appendix F).

Source: DEER ID HVAC-airAC
Standard Practice Discussion:

This measure is compliant with Title 24 requirements for AC unit efficiency - Table 110.2-A. The 15-ton units will exceed the Title 24 efficiency requirement of 11.0 EER. In addition, the proposed AC units will be equipped with dualtemperature economizers and variable speed supply fans.

Existing Equipment/System Operation:

The Wellness Center is conditioned by four 15-ton gas-fired package units with efficiency values of 12 EER. The package units are 11 years old, and are equipped with constant speed supply fans and economizers controlled by outside air temperature.

The baseline system is modeled in the “eQuest Files” folder (See Appendix E).

SW Project Feasibility Study V1.0 Page 17 | 26
Proposed Equipment/System Operation:

This measure will replace the four 15-ton gas-fired package units with high-efficiency units of equivalent size. The proposed units will be equipped with variable speed supply fans and dual-temperature controlled economizers, with efficiency values of 12 EER. Additional savings will likely be achieved by increase in system efficiency, but these savings are not being claimed as the baseline equipment efficiency is not being degraded in the calculations.

The proposed system is modeled in the “eQuest Files” folder (See Appendix E).

Calculation Methodology:

Savings were calculated using eQuest 3.65.7175. The eQuest model uses the Climate Zone 13 (CZ13) weather file and was calibrated to 2019 utility data, and is within 10% of annual utility consumption and 20% monthly consumption.

The calibration is located in the “eQ Calibration” tab of the “Mechanical Calculations” spreadsheet. (Attachment T:

Mechanical Calculations - COVID Projections 4.19.22 COVID). The calibration table accounts for both the site’s PV generation and the energy consumption at the pool.

Savings were exported as hourly reports and summarized in the “eQ Savings” tab of the “Mechanical Calculations” spreadsheet. (Attachment T: Mechanical Calculations - COVID Projections 4.19.22 COVID). The calibration table accounts for both the site’s PV generation and the energy consumption at the pool. The hours used for peak demand savings are July 8-10, 5PM-9PM.

Measures were modeled using parametric runs: Package Unit Replacements were modeled by increasing the supply fan efficiencies, changing supply fan controls to variable speed, and changing economizer controls to dual temperature. Advanced Wifi Thermostats were modeled by setting back the cooling and heating temperatures during the site’s opening and closing hours. The parametric runs use a rolling baseline to account for the interactive effects between the measures.

Although the efficiency of the package units have likely degraded in their 12 years of use, no degradation rate was assumed. The existing case 12-EER units exceed standard practice - calculations should be considered conservative.

This measure is compliant with Title 24 Section 110.2. The proposed wifi thermostats will be equipped with full setback capabilities. In addition, the thermostats will be equipped with advanced optimum start/stop controls.

Existing Equipment/System Operation:

The Wellness Center HVAC system is controlled by a thermostat system with simple scheduling capabilities. The thermostats run the package units from 4AM to 9PM, Monday through Friday, with a heating setpoint of 68°F and a cooling setpoint of 70°F.

The baseline system is modeled in the “eQuest Files” folder (See Appendix E).

Proposed Equipment/System Operation:

This measure will replace the existing thermostats with smart wifi thermostats. The thermostats will allow maintenance facilities to view and adjust zone temperatures remotely, and will be equipped with day-level setback controls. Additionally, the thermostats will replace the simple HVAC scheduling with smart optimum start/stop controls - the following is a general summary of the programming logic – mathematical formulas may vary between installers.

1. The optimum start/stop logic will use an intelligent algorithm to track the following variables:
· Space Temperature
· Outside Air Temperature
· Time
· HVAC Equipment Cooling/Heating Status

2. Using the above variables, the algorithm will use regression analysis to establish how quickly the HVAC system can cool/heat its dependent space at various outside air temperature conditions. Mathematically, this is expressed as (dT/dt)capacity.
· dTcapacity = (Space Temperature @ Time Period 1) - (Space Temperature @ Time Period 2)
· dtcapacity = Time Period 1 – Time Period 2. Increments will most likely be 15 minutes.

3. Prior to startup, the algorithm will measure the outside air temperature to determine the amount of cooling required, dTrequired. It will also track the amount of time left until occupancy, dtrequired. · Prior to startup, dTrequired will be equal to Current Space Temperature – Occupied Space Temperature Setpoint
· Prior to startup, dtrequired will be equal to Scheduled Occupancy Start Time – Current Time.

4. Once (dT/dt)required ≤ (dT/dt)capacity, the HVAC equipment will turn on.

SW Project Feasibility Study V1.0 Page 19 | 26
· For example, if it is currently 6AM and scheduled occupancy begins at 7AM, and there is a 4-degree temperature gap from existing space temperature to the occupied temperature setpoint, and the HVAC equipment can create temperature change of 4 degrees within 15 minutes, the system will remain off because (dT/dt)capacity > (dT/dt)required. At approximately 6:45AM, when (dT/dt)capacity ≤ (dT/dt)required, the system will turn on.

5. The logic will operate in reverse to establish how quickly the building naturally gains/loses heat at different Outside Air Temperature conditions when equipment is off to determine the optimal time to shut off equipment.

Classic occupancy scheduling faces a persistence challenge because it requires human intervention with each season, as cooling equipment needs to be started up earlier in warm months, and heating equipment in cold months. The start/stop algorithm ensures persistence because it automatically updates relative to the weather, eliminating the need for human intervention
The proposed system is modeled in the “eQuest Files” folder (See Appendix E).

Calculation Methodology:

The calibration is located in the “eQ Calibration” tab of the “Mechanical Calculations” spreadsheet. (Attachment T:

Mechanical Calculations - COVID Projections 4.19.22 COVID). The calibration table accounts for both the site’s PV generation and the energy consumption at the pool.

Savings were exported as hourly reports and summarized in the “eQ Savings” tab of the “Mechanical Calculations” spreadsheet. (Attachment T: Mechanical Calculations - COVID Projections 4.19.22 COVID). The hours used for peak demand savings are July 8-10, 5PM-9PM.

Although the efficiency of the package units have likely degraded in their 12 years of use, no degradation rate was assumed - calculations should be considered conservative.

Optimum start/stop is not standard practice, so savings from standard practice were set equal to savings from the existing case.

ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
Consider Minute Order Authorization of Modifications to Sections Six, Seven, and Eight (Phases III, IV, and V) of the City of Lindsay Water Conservation Plan.

BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
Water conservation throughout the State of California is a significant program. The impact to the City of Lindsay is just as significant, if not more so. The continued drought is problematic to all residents, business owners and any operations within the City limits, which the City provides water service. The recent announcement of water allocations has put the City in a circumstance that requires immediate action. Therefore, staff recommends that Sections Six, Seven, and Eight of the City of Lindsay Water Conservation Plan, regarding strict enforcement, emergency water conservation and extreme water crisis be modified with more strict guidelines and policies.

Title 1, General Provisions Section 1.16.010 of the Lindsay Municipal Code identifies the penalty for code violations, and any proposed changes will be dully noticed and are tentatively planned to be presented at the May 10, 2022, Regular Meeting.

Sections Six, Seven, and Eight encompass the following phases. • Phase III: Strict Enforcement
• Phase IV: Emergency Water Conservation
• Phase V: Extreme Water Crisis
A summary of the recommended modifications to the existing policy are demonstrated below in red.

CITY OF LINDSAY

WATER CONSERVATION PLAN
Amended June 28, 2016

SECTION I

INTRODUCTION
The City of Lindsay is located on the east side of the San Joaquin Valley in Tulare County near the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The City is traversed by State Highway 65 running north and south along the west side of the City. Lindsay is located approximately 12 miles east of Tulare and State Highway 99, approximately 11 miles north of Porterville and 18 miles southeast of Visalia, the County seat of Tulare County.

The City of Lindsay was incorporated on February 29, 1910 as "Class Six" city under the laws of the State of California. The area within the existing City limits contains approximately 2.72 square miles or 1,743 acres of which approximately 82.1 percent is presently developed for commercial, industrial and residential use.

As a Charter City of the State of California, Lindsay is governed by an elected five member City Council, one of whom serves as Mayor. Administrative officials include a City Manager, City Clerk, City Attorney, Finance Director, City Engineer, City Services Director, Planning and Economic Development Director and Director of Public Safety. The major city departments consist of Public Safety (police and fire), Planning and Economic Development, and City Services.

The City also owns and operates McDermont Field House, a recreational and sports facility along with the Wellness Center. Each facility has a Director overseeing staff and operations. 2 of 14
SECTION 2

WATER SUPPLY AND WATER SYSTEM
The City of Lindsay’s water system consists of approximately 2,900 service connections in the current service area. Greater than 95% of the connections are metered. All new water connections are required to be metered.

The City of Lindsay's water system supply consists of three deepwells supplied by groundwater aquifers both inside the City's service area as well as outside the city limits, 2,500 acre feet of surface water purchased annually from the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamations, Central Valley Project, at Millerton Reservoir and delivered to the City's point of delivery by way of the Friant Kern Canal and a 4.0 million gallon steel storage tank located on Todd’s Hill.

Monitoring and partial control is provided by wireless digital data signals telemetry to the well sites and the water storage tank.

Historically, the surface water supply is the City of Lindsay's primary source of water. The groundwater supply is considered as the City's secondary source and is utilized to satisfy peak demands on the system.

The fluctuation and deterioration of groundwater quality, with particular respect to nitrates (N03), Perchlorate (ClO4) and Dibromochloropropane (DBCP, C3H5Br2Cl) with the City's deepwells has put additional pressure and importance on the surface water supply.

In 2013 and 2014 drought conditions have risen to levels never experienced in California. These conditions along with a requirement to supply water to the San Joaquin River and other longstanding water rights commitments have substantially reduced the surface water supply to a below normal amount available to the City through its annual contract with the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamations. The amount declared in the 2014 water year was 0% of the normal 2,500 acre feet of surface water available to the City.

With the very limited surface water and groundwater supplies, it will be necessary for the City of Lindsay to promote and enforce this water conservation plan in order to provide sufficient water to meet community demands.

SECTION 3

CONSERVATION MEASURES
The City of Lindsay is aware of the need for continual water conservation and through direction by the City Council has adopted resolutions and ordinances to provide staff with the means of implementing and enforcing necessary water conservation measures.

Through this updated Water Conservation Plan, the City will continue their efforts in water conservation and adopt new policies and guidelines as the need becomes apparent. This revised plan has been developed around a 5 Phase approach with the following structure:

Phase I - Water Conservation
Phase II - Water Monitoring
Phase III - Strict Enforcement
Phase VI – Emergency Water Conservation
Phase V – Extreme Water Crisis
The benefits of conserving water as a limited natural resource, through this format will be realized by the community in the form of reduced energy costs, reduced impact on the Wastewater Treatment Plant and sufficient water supply during peak demands. It is the intent of the water conservation plan be a joint effort of all residents and water users and the City and through community efforts, optimal results will be achieved.

Actions within each phase have been defined as either actions to be undertaken by the City or by the General Public. Due to the number of variables which affect the water conditions in existence at any one point in time, a report by City Staff, will describe the necessary action for transition from one phase to another (more or less stringent). At such time as staff has determined that the water condition warrants advancement to a more stringent phase, a report and request will be forwarded to the City Council for their review and approval.

SECTION 4

PHASE I - WATER CONSERVATION
Through a joint effort of the City and General Public, this phase is established to conserve water, a limited natural resource, through reductions of water waste and implementation of guidelines for more efficient use of the available limited supply of water. Phase I typically applies during periods when an average water supply is forecast.

The following outline describes steps to be taken by the City as well as Residents that makes it possible to achieve the above goals:
• The City shall implement a "Public Awareness Program" designed to make the community aware of the water conditions.
• The City shall develop a set of "Water Conservation Guidelines" that would be made available to residents for use in conserving water.
• The City shall keep the community aware of changing conditions through news media. This is necessary in the event that stricter conditions may be coming in the future. • Enforce most current and adopted building codes and regulations that deal with building construction with regard to water and energy conservation. • Request that residents reduce landscape irrigation practices to a minimum. Request that landscape irrigation be performed during late evenings or early mornings to reduce the amount of water lost due to evaporation.
• Require that all new developments follow model water efficient landscape designs, including automatic irrigation systems with rain control gauges. • Require that all new developments follow model water efficient landscape designs with regard to plantings and planting designs and layout.
• Discourage users from washing down sidewalks and driveways. Request that this item be accomplished by other means such as sweeping, etc.
• Request that restaurants support the water conservation effort by serving water upon request only.
• The City shall reduce all landscape irrigation practices to a minimum. 5 of 14
• The City shall intensify its leak detection program by repairing or replacing leaking valves, water meters and fire hydrants as necessary.
• Coordinate with local schools to implement a Water Education Program that would instill a water conservation ethic in the minds of today's youth. This alone can permanently affect the water using habits of tomorrow's adults.
• The City's fire hydrant testing schedule shall be arranged so that fire hydrant testing occurs during off peak periods. Fire Hydrant testing and flushing is a necessary item to provide the public with safe, clean water for fire protection and domestic use. 6 of 14
SECTION 5

PHASE II - WATER MONITORING
Phase II typically applies during periods when below average water supply is forecast.

When it is found that it is necessary to implement Phase II of the Water Conservation Plan, the City shall advise the City Council of the need for a more aggressive water conservation program due to forth coming shortfalls in supply and/or increased demands on the system. With the adoption of Phase II of the Water Conservation Plan, the City shall intensify its water conservation efforts by the following practices:
• The City shall take a more aggressive approach with the "Public Awareness Program" designed to make the community aware of the water conditions and possibility of a water shortage.
• The City shall reduce landscape watering of City facilities, additionally as deemed necessary to provide only enough water required to maintain survival of permanent plants such as trees and shrubs.
• The City shall begin monitoring water use by residents or large commercial, institutional or industrial water users and alerting them to the potential impact of waste or over use. In this Phase a verbal warning would be issued and a citation issued if the condition were to continue.
• All items of Phase I Water Conservation would be intensified. All residents would be asked to increase their water conservation efforts.
• The City would implement a voluntary water use schedule that would define days available to irrigate (odd and even address system) landscaping as follows; From June 1st to September 30th annually, or as conditions require:

1. Odd numbered street addresses water only on Wednesdays, Fridays and/or Sundays.

2. Even numbered street addresses water only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and/or Saturdays.

3. No outdoor watering on Mondays.

4. This program also encourages customers to turn off their sprinklers on rainy days.

5. No watering between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM.

SECTION 6

PHASE III - STRICT ENFORCEMENT
Phase III typically applies during periods when water supply shortages are probable or in extreme conditions such as continued and/or widespread drought.

In the event it is found necessary to implement Phase III of the Water Conservation Plan, the City shall advise the City Council of the need for a more aggressive and stringent water conservation program due to probable shortfalls in supply and/or increased demands on the system.

• The City will intensify its efforts to inform the public of the need for Water Conservation with special emphasis given to inform the Public of water shortage conditions. • The City shall intensify efforts of community awareness by stepping up information of changing conditions through news media.
• All items of Phase I and Phase II Water Conservation would be intensified. All residents would be asked to increase their water conservation efforts. • The City shall reduce landscape watering, of City facilities, additionally as deemed necessary to confine impact on the water system. If it becomes necessary, watering of City facilities, parks and median islands will be suspended and evaluated each day. • The City would implement a mandatory water use schedule that would define days available to irrigate (odd and even address system). The schedule is identified in Phase II of this Water Conservation Plan.
• The City will strictly enforce the water conservation program by issuing written warnings or fines for misusing water. It is the objective of the City Council of the City that citizens of Lindsay voluntarily comply with the provisions of this Section. Enforcement of this Section will authorize one informal written notice and one formal written notice.

BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
The American Legion Riders Chapter 20 (“applicant”) is a non-profit organization that does charitable work throughout Tulare County to raise money for local children’s hospitals, schools, veteran’s homes, severely wounded servicemembers, and scholarships for the children of servicemembers. The Cannonball Run will take place on May 7, 2022, between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM. This event provides an opportunity for children from Tulare County to meet with other children who have experienced a death in their family.

A component of the Cannonball Run is the opportunity for participants to ride on a motorcycle with an experienced American Legion Rider from Porterville to various checkpoints in the area. One of those checkpoints being Lindsay City Park (park). The applicant is requesting to reserve a portion of the park (see attached Site Plan) to host a “Toilet Roll Toss Through a Toilet Seat”. This event requires participants to throw a toilet paper roll in a football throw fashion through a toilet seat. The toilet seats are fixed to a mobile platform. To ensure adequate nearby parking, the applicant is requesting to reserve nine parking spaces immediately to the south of the reserved park area.

The applicant has provided liability insurance and the City of Lindsay is named as an additional insured for the event and all participants will be required to sign a waiver.

As a condition of approval, the reserved area and the surrounding area shall be free of debris at the conclusion of the event. Additionally, the applicant will be held liable for any damage to City property including but not limited to the grass and sprinklers.

Please Note – At the time of publication, staff was awaiting a copy of applicants’ liability insurance coverage.

ITEM NO.: 11.3
MEETING DATE: April 26, 2022

ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
Consider Approval of Resolution 22-17, A Resolution Approving the City of Lindsay Spending Plan for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) Established by the American Rescue Plan Act Of 2021 (ARPA).

BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was passed by Congress and signed into law by the President in March 2021. ARPA included funding for eligible state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments through the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF). The City of Lindsay’s direct allocation of SLFRF funds is $3,220,636.00. These funds are intended to cover eligible costs incurred from March 3, 2021, through December 31, 2024.

On January 6, 2022, the U.S. Department of Treasury (Treasury) released their Final Rule for the SLFRF (Final Rule). The Final Rule makes it easier for small cities and towns, or non-entitlement units like the City of Lindsay, to spend in familiar ways through the use of a “standard allowance” for lost public sector revenue. This option allows Lindsay to make use of the SLFRF in a way that makes the most sense for its unique population and needs while at the same time streamlining reporting and compliance requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT
None. ARPA expenditures will be sourced from the City’s share of the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) of $3,220,636.00

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was passed by Congress and signed into law by the President in March 2021. ARPA included funding for eligible state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments through the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF). The City of Lindsay’s direct allocation of SLFRF funds is $3.2 million.

On January 6, 2022, the U.S. Department of Treasury (Treasury) released their Final Rule for the SLFRF. The Final Rule makes it easier for small cities and towns, or “nonentitlement units” like the City of Lindsay, to spend in familiar ways through the use of a standard allowance for lost public sector revenue. The Final Rule allows nonentitlement units to claim up to $10 million in lost public sector revenue. The City of Lindsay intends to claim its full award of $3.2 million under the standard allowance.

This option allows Lindsay to make use of the SLFRF in ways that makes the most sense for Lindsay’s unique population and needs while at the same time streamlining reporting and compliance requirements.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The City of Lindsay recognizes the important role that the SLFRF will have on the community’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and intends to leverage these funds to address the significant needs of Lindsay residents now and in the future.

ARPA funds provide a unique opportunity for the City of Lindsay to complete projects and pursue initiatives that will have a transformative and lasting impact on City services and the community. In this spirit, the City established the following principles to guide the allocation and use of ARPA funds.
• Be Transformational. Pursue projects and initiatives that solve an ongoing DRAFT
ARPA – City of Lindsay Spending Plan 3
problem and make a long-term and sustainable difference in the community. • One-Time Uses. Commit one-time ARPA dollars to projects and initiatives within a defined funding period.
• Equitable Outcomes. Prioritize projects or initiatives that aim to increase equitable recovery and future resilience for disadvantaged or unincorporated communities.
• Avoid Duplication. Ensure funded projects or initiatives do not duplicate services provided by the county, state or federal government, including duplication of other regional actors.

PRIORITY PROJECTS AND DESCRIPTIONS
Government services is the most flexible eligible use category under the SLFRF, allowing the City of Lindsay to take immediate action on priority projects and initiatives while remaining responsive to any unforeseen needs that may arise during the grant’s lifetime. Common examples of government services permitted by the Final Rule include road building and maintenance, and other infrastructure; health services; general government administration, staff, and administrative facilities, environmental remediation; and provision of police, fire, and other public safety services (including procurement of fire trucks and police vehicles).

The City of Lindsay has identified several priority projects and initiatives for immediate spending under the government services eligible use category. Remaining funds not currently allocated to a priority project will be used for government services in accordance with the standard allowance guidelines. The City of Lindsay is required to submit annual Project and Expenditure Reports to the U.S. Treasury.
