SUMMARY
To support reaching its renewable energy goals and to reduce long-term utility costs, the City has
been pursuing the installation of onsite Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems at municipal buildings and
facilities. Staff has been recently working with Sullivan Solar Power to design Solaz PV systems
for three municipal sites as part of the "Municipal Solar Photovoltaic-Phase IP' project (GG206).
To finance the project, staff is proposing to utilize a $2,121,500 Tax-Exempt Facility Lease
Agreement with Banc of America, which would be repaid through the annual energy cost savings at
the facilities. The project would leverage over $645,000 in state incentives and would
approximately double the City's onsite renewable energy generation.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that-the activity qualifies for
a Class 8 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15308 [Actions by Regulatory Agencies for
Protection of the Environment] of the State CEQA Guidelines, because the proposed actions will
increase local rooftop renewable energy capacity, which helps to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and help improve local air quality. Thus, no further environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
Renewable energy; such as Solaz Photovoltaic (PV) systems, is an integral component of the City's
climate action and energy management initiatives. Specifically, the Chula Vista Municipal Building
Energy Efficiency Policy (Resolution #2005-048) establishes a goal of generating at least 20% of
the municipal facility energy demand with renewable energy technologies. City Council reinforced
this renewable energy commitment in 2008 with adoption of Mitigation Measure #5 in the revised
Climate Action Plan (Resolution #2008-177). To date, Chula Vista has installed approximately 500
kW of renewable energy at 13 facilities representing about 5% of overall municipal energy use. The
Solaz PV arrays, which have aState-mandated minimum 25-year warranty, reduce the City's long-
term energy costs by offsetting utility-supplied electricity that historically has had annual rate
increases of at least 3%. Renewable energy systems also help to improve local air quality by
reducing the region's reliance on fossil fuel-based power plants.
Through a competitive bid process, the City selected Sullivan Solar Power in May 2012
(Resolution #2012-074) to design and install additional Solar PV systems at up to six municipal
sites as part of the `'Municipal Solar Photovoltaic-Phase II" project (GG206). After further
evaluation, the project's scope has been narrowed to four sites in order to maximize the project's
cost effectiveness and the Cit}~'s return on investment. The proposed systems totaling
approximately 568 kW DC would consist of roof-mounted arrays at three sites -Civic Center
(Building 100), Loma Verde Recreation Center, and Public Works -and would generate almost
860,000 kWh every year (equivalent to the ainual energy use of over 140 homes).

7/23/13, Item
Page 3 of 3
To finance the project. staff has been workine c~ith Banc of America to develop aTax-Exempt
Facility Lease Agreement using the Loma Verde Recreation Center as collateral for the loan.
The $2,121;500 agreement would cover all project construction costs as well as associated
financing closing costs. The $2;121;600 amount would also sense as the Guazanteed Maximum
Price (GMP) for the Sullivan Solar Power contract. The financing would be fuliv repaid over its
17.6-year term through the project's resulting energy cost savings estimated at S101,000 in Yeaz
1 (increasing to $161.000 in Yeaz 17). In addition, approximately $645,000 in California Solaz
Initiative incentives, which the project v<ill receive over the first 5 yeazs, vill also be used to
reduce the debt service. Over the 25-year minimum life of the new Solaz PV systems,
cumulative cost benefits to the City aze estimated at over $3.5 million (assuming a 3% annual
utility escalator). Finally, the proposed Municipal Solar Photovoltaic-Phase II project would
successfully double the City's onsite renewable energy generation capacity.
DECISION 1VIAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property, which is the subject of this action. Staff is not
independently awaze; nor has staff been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL I114PACT
The project's initial $2,121;600 gross costs will be fully covered by the financing through the
Tax-Exempt Facility Lease Agreement with Banc of America. The total debt service amount of
$2;848;064 ($2,121;600 plus $726;564 in interest) dill be repaid over the 17.6-year term using
the resulting annual energy cost savings as well as the $645,000 in state incentives (paid out over
the first 5 yeazs). The interest rate for the lease is 3.95% and is locked in until July 31, 2013.
The financing is scheduled to close on July 26, 2013. Debt service payments begin in January
2014 and will be included in the proposed budgets going forward. Once the financing debt'is
repaid, the City's General Fund will realize the total avoided energy costs on an annual basis.
The costs of issuance for the financing are anticipated to be approximately $50,000. These costs
cover the anticipated amounts to be paid to the attorneys for Banc of America and the City;
City's financial advisor, title insurance and other closing costs.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
It is anticipated that the project`s utility cost savings will fully cover the Equipment Lease
Agreement debt service over the 17.5-pear term. Total anticipated savings over the life of the
solaz panels is estimated at $3.6 million. Once the financing is repaid, the General Fund vill
realize the total avoided energy costs annually.
