CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - STAFF REPORT .
Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council authorizing the City's continued participation in
the Community Energy Partnership with The Energy Coalition, a California non-profit corporation,
Southern California Edison and Southern California Gas Company.
Background:
The Community Energy Partnership (CEP) is an energy efficiency program ("Program") funded by
California utility ratepayers and administered by Southern California Edison and Southern
California Gas Company under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission. The
CEP, which consists of seven Southern California cities, was established in 1992; the City of San
Bernardino has been a partner agency since 2004.
The mission of the CEP is to deliver energy efficiency programs that reduce environmental impacts
and promote sustainable cities. During the most recent Program Cycle, from 2006-2008, the City
achieved energy savings of over 825,843 kWh and over 14,897 therms. This amounts to an annual
energy cost savings of$135,800 to the San Bernardino community.
Staff is requesting that the Mayor and Common Council authorize the City to continue its
participation in the Partnership and take part in the 2010-2012 Program Cycle. The three core
initiatives of the 2010-2012 Cycle are as follows:
• Implementation of energy efficiency projects within municipal facilities
• Support activities and policies in alignment with long-term energy efficiency goals of
California
• Utility program marketing, education and outreach to the community.
The City's commitment to this project is to continue providing minimal "in-kind" services, i.e., a
staff liaison working with The Energy Coalition and facilitating introductions and meetings with
key institutions such as community groups.
Staff continues to maintain a strong relationship with The Energy Coalition to assist in identifying
potential projects where energy-efficiency programs and energy-efficient products are needed and
specific opportunities for the City.
Financial Impact:
None.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution.
