<br />"Per light costs, which now include amortization, operation, and maintenance, would
<br />be replaced by monthly energy costs only, reducing billings to lighting agencies by $350,000
<br />and having a similar net reducing effect on EWEB's budget.
<br />"Agencies would take full control of the lighting systems in their areas, including responsi-
<br />bility for maintenance. While EWEB would offer to enter into a maintenance contract on an actual
<br />cost basis with any of the agencies, the agency could contract with any other firm, or in some
<br />cases do the work themselves. Similarly, EWEB would contract to install new lighting systems
<br />for agencies, again on an actual -cost basis, which would include fixture cost and labor, paid
<br />at the time of installation.
<br />"At the November 16 meeting, the Board asked staff to again contact each affected agency
<br />to determine, specifically, their individual attitudes toward acceptance of the new financing
<br />plan. Each of the Board members have been given a tabulation of their responses. We have
<br />received acceptance letters, or commitments that letters will be sent, from eight of the ten
<br />affected agencies, including the City of Eugene. Both of the two remaining agencies under-
<br />stand the new policy. One of the two indicated verbal acceptance and may be sending a letter.
<br />We have been unable, as of today, to reach the proper individual at the last agency.

<br />"The majority of the agencies that are eligible for BPA funding under BPA's lighting
<br />efficiency program have indicated that they are interested in participating. Several agencies
<br />submitted their budgets to BPA along with EWEB on October 28. On November 18, EWER
<br />was notified by Bonneville that our first year's budget request of $1,571,000 was approved
<br />in full. "
<br />Mr. Kunkel then asked if the Board had any questions regarding either the policy changes or the
<br />BPA lighting program.
<br />Mr. Craig indicated he no longer had any questions pertaining to how the City Council felt, and thanked
<br />the staff for the additional work.
<br />Mrs. Pratt said she appreciated Mr. Myrand's summary of the different types of lighting fixtures.
<br />There being no further comments, Mr. Kunkel continued:
<br />"In order to carry out the intent of the proposed Board resolution regarding ownership
<br />of the street lighting systems, staff recommends termination of lighting rate schedules I -1,
<br />J -1. and J -2; approval of new lighting rate schedules J -3 and J -4; and revision of lighting
<br />rate schedule L -3 (see attachment 3), all effective November 5, 1981. In addition, staff
<br />recommends approval of proposed amended language to EWEB's street lighting policies
<br />located on page 45e of EWEB Policies and Procedures (see attachment 2)."
<br />(For staff adjustments to the proposed new street lighting rate schedules and to tables
<br />contained in the November 16 presentation; new Schedules J -3 and J -4; revised
<br />Schedule L -3; and amendment to EWEB's Policies and Procedures, see Document No.
<br />4132 of the EWEB files.)
<br />Mr. Kunkel then read the Resolution:
<br />"WHEREAS, EWEB has furnished to various agencies street lighting services for a
<br />number of years, and
<br />"WHEREAS, said agencies have either owned or paid on a term basis for all dedicated
<br />street light poles, circuits, mast arms, switching facilities, luminaires, lamps and ballasts,
<br />"Now, therefore,
<br />"BE IT RESOLVED and DECLARED by the Eugene Water & Electric Board that all
<br />agencies furnished street lighting services are the owners of their respective street
<br />lighting equipment, including dedicated street light poles, circuits, mast arms, switching
<br />facilities, luminaires, lamps and ballasts, and will hereafter be served and provided with
<br />operating energy at electricity rates offered by the Eugene Water 6 Electric Board, and
<br />may be provided certain additional services, with terms and charges for such services
<br />to be agreed upon, in writing, between the Eugene Water & Electric Board and such
<br />agencies.
<br />"Dated this thirtieth day of November 1981."
<br />It was moved by Mr. Craig, seconded by Mr. Bartels, to accept and approve the staffs recommendations,
<br />as listed above, and adopt the Resolution as read. Voting Yes - 4 (Tiffany, Pratt, Bartels and Craig) ; No - 0.
<br />Motion carried.
<br />Ed Hoover, Commercial Energy Management Specialist, presented the BPA Commercial Conservation
<br />Program offering on lighting and water heating:
<br />"President Tiffany and Commissioners. This program is available to EWEB commercial
<br />consumers with any building or mobile home used for other than residential occupancy.
<br />However, multi- family dwellings may be included by the utility if the utility chooses. What
<br />this amounts to is that both for general service and the high voltage power service, EWEB
<br />customers would be eligible for conservation measures covered by this program. There's
<br />four conservation measures covered under this program. They are the Water Heater Insulation
<br />Wrap, Energy Efficient Lamp, Shower Flow Restrictors and Conservation Information. It's the
<br />utility's option to implement any number or type of these measures. The general program
<br />requirements under this contract are that EWEB maintain records of program transactions
<br />and submit a monthly summary report to Bonneville. The utility must also assure compliance
<br />with BPA materials and installation specifications.
