Acceptance of the Washington Department of Commerce Clean Buildings Program Grant to Fund Lighting Upgrades at City Hall, in the Amount of $40,000
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City of Redmond is anticipating notification of a possible Clean Buildings grant award in the amount of $40,000 from the Department of Commerce. This grant provides funding for energy efficiency improvements of Tier 1 and Tier 2 publicly owned buildings that are required to comply with the Clean Buildings Performance Standard (CBPS). If awarded, the grant will fill funding gaps and allow the City to complete a comprehensive lighting upgrade at City Hall to support compliance with the CBPS.
This item was proactively added to the PES agenda due to the aggressive grant timeline. The City anticipates hearing from the Department of Commerce by February 24, 2025. If the City has not received notification or is not awarded the grant, this item will be pulled from the February 25, 2025 PES meeting agenda.
