STATEMENT OF MEETING PROCEDURES - Read by Clerk.

 

PUBLIC COMMENT – Dave Henshaw, PG&E Account Manager for Placer County, acknowledged the County’s continued efforts in energy efficiency and energy cost reduction.  He said PG&E has had an integrated approach with Placer County combining programs stating that since 2007 the County has seen an 18% reduction in energy use representing $450,000 per year in energy savings.  Joel Swift, Deputy Director of Facility Services, stated the rebates are through our energy block grant of $600,000 with 32 buildings on the program.  Mr. Swift said it’s unique because the Department of Energy pays for purchase of equipment and installation by Facility Services staff.

 

SUPERVISOR’S COMMITTEE REPORT - Supervisor Montgomery advised on February 21, 2012 Placer County participated in the Auburn, Folsom, Natoma Managing Partner Agreement signing and received a framed copy for Placer County.  The Agreement celebrates the funding for 25 years between Bureau of Reclamation and State Parks.
