With pay-outs to date totaling $609,568.00 the City’s rebate program for energy efficient windows, doors, A/C units, tankless gas water heaters, etc., the Energy Efficiency Rebate Program (first launched in 2014,) has enjoyed significant and measurable success. Over 800 rebates have been issued directly to over 1000 homeowners and interest in the program remains strong. Accordingly, staff is seeking Commission approval to extend the life of the program by allocating an additional $100,000 for qualifying rebates.  As in the past, these monies will be derived exclusively from building permit (BP) fees and not the general fund. The BP fund’s current balance is $1,327,000.  Approving an additional $100,000 for energy rebates is in keeping with the Commission’s practice of maintaining an adequate BP fund balance.
