The memo requests Council's approval to accept a grant from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program to replace lighting at the Kenai Recreation Center with energy efficient LED lighting. The City applied for a grant to this program to replace older street light fixtures with LED fixtures for energy efficiency. After completion of the street lighting assessment, it was determined that the majority of the City owned light fixtures have already been converted and these funds could be more useful somewhere else. The Kenai Recreation Center was determined to be the best use of funds as there is regular use at this facility during the year and lighting replacement could have a significant effect on electrical use. The high bay lighting in the gym and racquetball courts would be the main goal as they are in poor condition and difficult to work on. The City does not have any additional funding appropriated for this project. We will bid out work with alternates to maximize grant funding, but may also request additional funding to complete needed upgrades pas the $75,270 available through the grant. The Public Works Department recommends accepting the grant from the EECBG Program to complete lighting upgrades at the Kenai Recreation Center.
