Official Text

To the Honorable City Council:

 

The Mayor respectfully requests that this Council approve the use of funds in the Office of Sustainability and Environment Professional and Technical Services Account (0112652-530000) to pay a FY25 (May 31, 2024-May 30, 2025) invoice totaling $330.00 to PowerDash for monitoring the Argenziano School solar array. The initial contract with PowerDash included 5 years of monitoring, the invoice was for the first year after that 5-year period. The invoice wasn't paid within the fiscal year because the invoice was issued during staff turnover when incoming staff were not aware of the end of the 5-year period. Staff are now aware of this annual cost and will ensure timely payment moving forward.

 

The invoice is attached.

 

Appropriate staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

Katjana Ballantyne, Mayor
