SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Idaho Office of Energy Resources (OER) offers an energy efficiency audit program for public buildings called Government Leading by Example. No-cost energy audits are conducted by
the University of Idaho Integrated Design Lab and recommendations for efficiency measures are provided to the local government. The City of McCall applied for participation in the
program and energy audits were performed on the McCall Public Library and the McCall Senior Center. (See attached).
Funding is available from OER for efficiency upgrades. The application process is through an informal, first-come, first-served basis, and a request for funding has been submitted
for heat pump units for both the Library and Senior Center. (See attached cost estimate.) The heat pumps would be used for cooling at the Library (there is no air conditioning) and
would replace an existing air conditioner at the McCall Senior Center. The Library will be replacing the exisitng furnace using Library funds, as it is in need of immediate replacement.
It is not known at this time if funding for heat pumps will be awarded. If funding is awarded, a funding agreement will be required to accept the award.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents if funding for energy efficiency upgrades is awarded for energy improvements to the McCall Public Library and/or McCall Senior Center.
