Subject: 3/14 item 12A We need a pilot project
EXTERNAL
This item should be sent back to staff for a more thorough financial analysis of the costs, and for specific information on the rebates for rental and commercial property. Which utilities are providing rebates, the amount of the rebates for each specific appliance (stove, dryer, water heater, home heating) , is there a dollar limit on the amount of the rebates per property owner etc? When does the rebate program expire.?
Please direct staff to conduct a pilot project with CCSM ..allocate $300,000.00 from the Housing Trust Fund for the conversion
Community Corp of SM owns 3 older apartment buildings on 17th St. between Michigan and Pico..allocate $300,000 from the
Housing Trust fund and have staff work with CCSM to convert one of those buildings to ALL electric.
Conditions: ALL APPLIANCES AND HEATING UNITS MUST BE PURCHASED IN SANTA MONICA‐Buy Local Appliance stores that sell electric stoves and electric dryers:
Westwood Appliance 2204 Pico Blvd: Snyder Diamond 1399 Pico Blvd: Bay Cities Appliances 3107 Santa Monica Blvd
and there may be others
Plumbing supply stores for electric water heaters: Ferguson Plumbing 2218 Broadway: Hirsch Pipe and Supply 1717 ‐19th St.
and there may be others
I am not sure which businesses in Santa Monica sell electric heating units to replace the gas wall heaters found in most apartments built in the 1940's and 1950's.
If it is an older home with a floor heater then there is the additional cost of finding hardwood flooring to match ORmost probably the cost
of having to refinish the room with the floor heater.
Plumbers to remove the gas lines etc.: Borghese Plumbing: Val Ramos Plumbing, Safe Gas Services on Lincoln Blvd, and there are others
and CCSM has to use only Santa Monica electricians for the work. DLR Electric, & C.L.A. Electric are 2 local electricians..there are others
And because the tenants will probably be displaced during the change over, CCSM has to rent hotel Item 12.A

2 rooms in Santa Monica .. when I have to temporarily relocate tenants , I use the Sure Stay at 3102 Pico Blvd..some rooms have kitchenettes For example at $200.00 a night (including the TOT etc.) for 3 nights =$600.00 times 7 units will cost $4,200.00 for a portion of the tenant relocation..still need to provide for food, pets, etc..probably close to $5,000 for the temporary tenant relocation.
I drove by the CCSM project under construction at 19th and Pico and there was a Dunn Edwards truck there unloading paint. We don't
have a Dunn Edwards paint store in Santa Monica. I am sure Cox Paints on Santa Monica Blvd could use the business and the city could use the sales
tax revenue if CCSM had bought the paint in Santa Monica. So this pilot project must have a buy local provision.
Thanks for your consideration
