Since 2008, the City has had an <br /> energy efficiency partnership with Southern California Edison. The current partnership cycle <br /> continues through 2012 and is expected to be extended through 2013. <br /> In September 2008, the City entered into an agreement with Edward K. Aghjayan, a consultant <br /> with experience in managing energy programs. The consultant has been valuable in identifying <br /> new partnership opportunities and community programs. The consultant has assisted the City in <br /> evaluating and implementing various energy efficiency programs, including the development of <br /> energy efficiency kits delivered to 30,000 residences, implementation of the Small Business <br /> Direct Install program provided to 198 businesses in the Federal Empowerment Zone, and the <br /> Nonresidential Direct Install program delivered to 2,657 businesses. The consultant has also <br /> been key in addressing franchise issues and identifying opportunities for reducing City costs. <br /> <br /> Staff recommends approval of a new agreement with Edward K. Aghjayan to continue to assist <br /> in the development and implementation of energy efficiency programs and to address various <br /> energy related issues. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 25D-1 <br />
