Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Scott Terrell
Date: September 11, 2007
Subject: Extension of Board approved Conservation Program
Why this matter is before the Board: District activities such as the operation of
an energy conservation program require Board approval.
History: The TDPUD Board of Directors adopted an enhanced Energy
Conservation Program at their May 16, 2007 meeting. The program included the
elements of the prior conservation program and new measures including the
category of high efficiency residential and commercial lighting. This program was
approved with a budget of$118,500 and a sunset date of September 30, 2007.
The enhanced conservation program was originally created under the District's
Objective No. 5, "Manage the District in an environmentally sound manner"; and
Goal No. 5.4, "District will maintain a program of energy and water use
efficiency".
New information: Attached is a summary of the Conservation Program's activity
from May 16th through August 31st showing increased customer acceptance
every month since its adoption. To date we have expended $ 23,755 in program
rebates and $ 2,616 in marketing costs. In that less than half of the approved
budget has been expended I believe it would be in the best interest of the District
to extend the program through December 31, 2007.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board extend the enhanced
Conservation Program, with expenditures not to exceed the original budgeted
amount of$118,500, to December 31, 2007.
