Resolution authorizing the City Engineer to accept various incentives and rebates, not to exceed $80,000 provided through We Energies Focus on Energy program for the purchase and installation of Light Emitting Diode street lighting fixtures at various locations within the City of Milwaukee.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the City Engineer to accept various incentives and rebates, not to exceed $80,000 provided through We Energies Focus on Energy program for the purchase and installation of Light Emitting Diode street lighting fixtures at various locations within the City of Milwaukee.
Body
Whereas, We Energies regularly provides various incentives and rebates through its Focus on Energy program for the purchase and installation of equipment or systems to improve energy efficiency; and
Whereas, Department of Public Works Infrastructure Services Division, in the normal course of maintaining and updating its facilities, regularly purchases and installs energy efficient equipment or systems that appear eligible for Focus on Energy incentives and rebates; and
Whereas, These Focus on Energy incentives and rebates apply to energy efficiency improvements in replacing high pressure sodium lighting fixtures and would also apply in some cases to energy efficiency improvements the Department of Public Works Infrastructure Services Division has already purchased and installed; and
Whereas, These Focus on Energy incentives and rebates reduce the costs of Department of Public Works Infrastructure Services Division’s normal maintenance and facility updates, and are therefore beneficial to the City and its taxpayers; and
Whereas, Common Council File 980965 established procedural guidelines related to the expenditure of funds to be reimbursed by greater than anticipated revenues; and
Whereas, The Comptroller has certified greater than anticipated revenue in the amount of $80,000 pursuant to s. 304-91; and
Pursuant to s. 304-91, I hereby certify that the money required for this item is anticipated to be realized on or before December 31, 2018 to be expended only for the purpose in this resolution.
