II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Agreement for Liehtinw/Enerev Upi?rades Grant Fund Expenditure
Staff is seeking Council approval to enter into an agreement with Washington State Department of General
Administration (GA) for management and monitoring services related to the execution of grant funds the
City has received for lighting upgrades to City facilities.
Early last year the City accepted grant funds in the amount of $129,500 from the Washington State
Department of Commerce (see Finance Safety Committee minutes dated February 2, 2010). The funds
are now ready to be expended and will be done so through the an interagency agreement between the City
and GA. This process /agreement uses performance contracting in which the City contacts with GA and in
turn, GA contacts with an Energy Service Company (ESCO) to complete the project. This type of
contracting allows for the design and completion of energy /lighting upgrades and rebates at a guaranteed
price. The City match for this project is $15,387, and will be funded through the green initiatives budget
line item in the Mayor's Office. The total project cost is $163,904 (broken down as follows: $129,500 grant
funds, $15,387 City matching funds, and $19,017 in utility rebates from Seattle City Light and /or Puget
Sound Energy).
Staff is requesting the Committee move this item directly to tonight's COW for discussion in consideration
of the need to expend grant funds by the end of May. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
FEBRAURY 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION.

Community Development has completed the process of reviewing and preparing background information
and current conditions in the City's Manufacturing Industrial Center. This information includes but is not
limited to the original vision for the area, how things have changed and what the City needs to in response
to those changes. Staff is now approaching the public involvement process of the review.
