The Energy <br />Conservation Team is working with Orange Public Transportation (OPT) to provide <br />transportation options for traveling to and from the event in order to reduce the number of <br />vehicles traveling to the facility. <br />Energy Use at Several County Buildings <br />Due to the resources needed for entering and verifying data for electricity and natural gas usage <br />at all County buildings, several of the largest buildings have been selected to provide an <br />overview of energy usage. These buildings include: The John M. Link, Jr. Government <br />Services Center, the Southern Human Services Center, the Planning & Agriculture Building and <br />the Whitted Human Services complex (including the Central Recreation Center). An update <br />report will be provided to the Board at the October 23 meeting. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with receiving this update. <br />For the Energy Conservation Fair, the Hillsborough Moose Lodge has graciously offered use of <br />their facility at no cost to the County. Exhibit materials (booth and back wall curtains, etc.) will <br />cost approximately $1,000. Light refreshments will be provided at an estimated cost of $1,000. <br />The final cost to the County is unknown at this time; however, several vendors have expressed <br />their intent to provide partial sponsorship to help offset costs. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the information <br />and provide comments as may be appropriate. <br />
