agreement", be adopted and Mayor and City Clerk authorized to execute same.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Mayor Rooff stated that staff raised three exceptions concerning the agreement,
and MidAmerican Services Company has responded. Regarding the exemption from
payment for items not attributable to the Energy Manager Program, MidAmerican
Services does not expect payment for energy savings improvements initiated by
the city. The city has the final approval of any recommendation. If
MidAmerican Services recommends an energy savings opportunity that the city
felt would impact comfort and the city chose not to implement the change,
MidAmerican Services would not receive any payment. The contract does not
exclude the city from engaging in similar site-specific agreements with other
energy management contractors.
Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following
result. Ayes: Seven.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2000-550.
