body

Official Text

To the Honorable City Council:

I respectfully request a supplemental  appropriation of $45,000 to the DPW Buildings & Grounds, Electricity Account (521001), for the purpose of procuring renewable energy for City operations.  This procurement would increase the amount of renewable electricity for the City's supply for Q3 and Q4 FY2020.  The amount of this supplemental appropriation will increase the percentage of renewable electricity by 20% for City operations, reducing the City's overall carbon footprint by almost 10%. 

My staff will be available to address any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this item.

Respectfully Submitted,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
