126 Mr. Culver stated the campus buildings all have individual meters and are looked <br />127 at individually and the reason why the average rates are different by building. <br />128 <br />129 Member Wozniak asked if the payments for each building came out of the particular <br />130 department budget or is it a City budget. If the departments are paying out of their <br />131 budget would the savings go back to those departments. <br />132 <br />133 Mr. Culver stated for City Hall there is a general building budget that would cover <br />134 City Hall and probably also cover the maintenance facility, but he would have to <br />135 check into that. He thought because of the utility funds these might be split off or <br />136 make payments from the utility funds back into the building fund as overhead. The <br />137 Fire Station energy costs do come out of their budget along with the skating center. <br />138 He believed that if the different buildings have energy savings the savings would <br />139 be reflected back into those individual budgets. <br />140 <br />141 Member Joyce arrived during the presentation at approximately 6:55 p.m. <br />142 <br />143 Motion <br />144 Member Trainor moved, Member Wozniak seconded, to recommend the City <br />145 Council install the solar arrays under the Solar Rewards program on the <br />146 rooftops of City Hall, the Fire Station and the Maintenance Facility. The <br />147 Commission further recommends that a solar array under the PV Demand <br />148 Credit program be installed on the Maintenance Facility as well. <br />149 <br />150 Ayes:6 <br />151 Nays: 0 <br />152 Motion carried. <br />153 <br />154 6. Tiered Water Rate Analysis <br />155 Mr. Freihammer provided a brief review and update on projects and maintenance <br />156 activities listed in the staff report dated September 25, 2018. <br />157 <br />158 Member Kors thought Mr. Culver mentioned that larger families use more water. <br />159 <br />160 Mr. Culver stated the City is trying to account for that by breaking this down per <br />161 capita The City is trying to estimate and get a glimpse of where the larger families <br />162 would be at. That is why staff is recommending the motion based on feedback from <br />163 the Commission and where staff felt the Commission was going towards. If that is <br />164 the desire to try to encourage some water conservation particularly with the highest <br />165 users, staff felt comfortable with setting that 50,000 -gallon tier and then going from <br />166 there. <br />167 <br />168 Member Wozniak indicated the new tier would be used for summer months only <br />169 and he thought the larger families would use the same amount of water year-round <br />170 and not only in the summer months. <br />171 <br />Page 4 of 12 <br />
