______________________________________________________________

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

WHEREAS, this Board of Supervisors in 1995, approved the County's participation in the Federal Environmental Protection Agency's Green Lights Program, a program to improve the energy efficiency of buildings; and

WHEREAS, Invensys Building Systems provides performance based services which calculates energy savings that can be used to finance the replacement of less energy efficient lighting and building mechanical systems; and

WHEREAS, Invensys has performed a detailed inspection and analysis of specific County facilities and has recommended projects to install energy conservation related equipment and improve building lighting and mechanical systems; and

WHEREAS, it is expected that the cumulative project cost, $2,067,389, will be recovered through energy savings over a ten (10) year period; and

WHEREAS, Section 4217.10 et sec. of the State of California Government Code provides that a governmental agency may enter into an agreement to install energy saving systems after considering said agreement during a regularly scheduled public hearing; and

WHEREAS, this Board has held the requisite public hearing, considered all comments received and now wishes to enter said agreement:

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED that

1.a)

the anticipated costs of installing lighting and mechanical systems will be more than offset by energy savings provided by the lighting and mechanical systems; and

1.b)

a finding related to ground leases as required by Section 4217.12 is not necessary as the proposed work does not entail any ground leases; and

2.

the President of this Board is hereby authorized to enter said agreement with Invensys Building Systems and the Clerk of the Board shall attest to the President's signature thereto.
