Project Description The City has identified an opportunity to add significant solar energy generation systems at multiple City facilities to support the cost containment on power rates, support environmental protection, and support the expanding power needs of the City facilities. Ne w solar generation facilities have been identified at the Civic Center, Police Department, Community and Cultural Center, Aquatics Center, Corporation Yard and at two City well sites. The initial design of these projects is currently underway. In addition to the solar work, planning is also underway for electric vehicle charging, a secure area for City Hall vehicles at the Civic Center site, and office space expansion for future City employees within the existing office buildings. Project Justification Implementing solar systems at City facilities will support resilience of the energy grid and provide for cost savings on energy costs.
