City to use DOE EECBG funds to purchase LED streetlights for upgrades
Summary
The finance committee approved use of a Department of Energy EECBG grant to purchase around 700 LED streetlights, leveraging federal funds to accelerate the city's streetlight upgrade program.
City staff told the committee the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) awarded through the U.S. Department of Energy can fund approximately 700 LED streetlight upgrades. The city is already planning LED upgrades and will submit required documentation to DOE to request reimbursement after installation.
Staff reported the EECBG amount is $163,296 and that those funds will offset the city's planned LED streetlight purchases. The committee approved the appropriation of the grant funding by voice vote.
Staff said they will mark installed lights on the city's asset-management tablet and submit required information to DOE to secure reimbursement.
