• Item 3 has been addressed through presentation elsewhere on agenda of the May 21, <br />2013 BOCC meeting of the Energy, Water and Fuel conservation scorecard results, <br />which were originally presented at the October 16, 2012 BOCC Work Session. <br />• Item 4 has been addressed in the revised policy updates included with this agenda item. <br />• The effective date for the revised policies has been changed from January 1, 2013, as <br />identified in the November 13, 2012 presentation, to July 1, 2013. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There are no financial impacts directly associated with the revisions to <br />the Energy, Water and Fuel policies. Sustainable environmental practices and reduced energy, <br />water and fuel use results in avoided costs for utilities and fuels, as well as the less obvious <br />benefits of resource conservation, higher air and water quality, and less greenhouse gas <br />emissions. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve and adopt the <br />revisions to the 2005 Energy, Water and Fuel Conservation Policies as presented at the <br />November 13, 2012 Board Work Session, with the minor revision identified in #4 above, and <br />with an effective date of July 1, 2013. <br />
