WHEREAS, as part of the City's Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grant
Strategy, staff was authorized to pursue up to $9.1 million of low-interest financing from the
California Energy Commission (CEC) and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) to fund the
installation of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies at municipal facilities (as
amended under Resolution #2010-064); and
WHEREAS, as a result, the City of Chula Vista was recently awarded a $1,999,806 CEC
loan to finance the installation of energy efficient lighting and solar photovoltaic systems at multiple
municipal sites; and
WHEREAS, the loan will also be supplemented by $874,300 of Energy Efficiency &
Conservation Block Grants and $772,817 of Califomia Solar Initiative incentives further reducing
the projects' net implementation costs; and
WHEREAS, these projects will contribute to reducing Chula Vista's overall energy
consumption and its associated greenhouse gas emissions; and
WHEREAS, once the loan is repaid (simple payback = 10.95 years), the City's General
