PROJECTS RESERVE FUND TO FINANCE THE RELAMPING OF CITY HALL
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Adopt the attached appropriations ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Capital Projects Reserve Fund by 582,153 from increased revenues,
and
2 Authorize the transfer of 582,153 from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund to the Energy
Management Fund, and
3 Adopt the attached appropriations ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Energy Management Fund by S 101,653 52 from increased revenues
for the purpose of funding the relamping of City Hall with electronic ballasts and Octron
lamps
DISCUSSION
As a part of the City's efforts to control costs, the standard lighting system for three and four
foot fluorescent light fixtures has consisted of energy saving ballasts and lamps Electronic
ballasts will use 21 % less electricity than the energy saving ballasts They will operate both
energy saving lamps and the super energy efficient Octron lamps They will operate up to four
lamps per ballast instead of two Calculations comparing the cost of electronic ballasts with the
ballasts the City currently uses show internal rates of return of 30% in favor of the electronic
ballasts The total cost to relamp City Hall and the Public Safety Building with electronic ballasts
and Octron lamps is expected to be 5212,687 The annual energy savings is expected to exceed
560,000 per year
The budget for the relamping project is as follows
Lamps
4 ft fluorescent (5500 @ S 1 79) 59,845
3 ft fluorescent (9600 @ S2 14) 520,544
530,389
Ballasts
3 lamp F40 277V (420 @ S 16 75) 57,035
4 lamp F40 277V (3880 @ S17 75) 568,870

The actions recommended in this M&C will provide adequate funds in the Energy Management
Fund for the purchase of the lamps and ballasts for this project Since the useful life of an
electronic ballast exceeds ten years, the recommended transfer from the Capital Projects Reserve
Fund complies with the City's Financial Management Policy Statements A portion of the labor
cost for the project will be paid from the Energy Management Fund (519,800) and the remainder
will be absorbed in the Transportation and Public Works Department's current General Fund
operating budget The disposal costs will be paid from the Environmental Management Fund
Another M&C will be submitted to Council at the time at which a contractor for the disposal of
the lamps and ballasts is selected and the exact disposal costs are known
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and
adoption of the attached appropriations ordinances, funds required for the purchase of the lamps
and ballasts will be available in the current operating budget of the Energy Management Fund
