Council authorizes geothermal feasibility study solicitation; staff expects 50% NYSERDA match
Summary
Council approved a resolution to authorize solicitation of an engineering firm to study geothermal heating/cooling feasibility for municipal buildings; staff said the city would provide $25,000 toward design if a 50% NYSERDA match is awarded.
City staff asked the council to authorize entry into an agreement to complete a geothermal feasibility study for municipal facilities, including the police station, neighborhood center and library, and to seek funding under New York State climate programs. The city manager said the study would evaluate technical and financial feasibility, including potential shared systems, and asked the council to authorize soliciting a qualified engineering firm.
The city manager said the cost-share plan anticipates $25,000 from the city for design with a $25,000 match from NYSERDA if awarded, and stressed that the city would not proceed without that shared grant. The council adopted resolution J9 authorizing solicitation of an engineering firm; the motion passed unanimously.
