Presentation:  Energy Efficiency and Modern Street Lighting – Larry Wasserscheid (Phillips Lighting) and Jeff Gross (Johnson Controls)

 

Mr. Wasserscheid made a presentation on the energy and cost savings available from a new generation of street lighting technologies.  Many cities are replacing their high pressure sodium lights, such as Jacksonville uses, with new LED or ceramic metal halide lamps with electronic drivers.  The new lights produce a much more white light compared to the yellow light produced by high pressure sodium lamps, and the new technology produces truer color and seems brighter for the same amount of wattage.  Replacing traditional lights with new technology can produce 40-45% savings in energy consumption.  The new lights with electronic controls can be automatically dimmed in the late night hours when traffic is minimal for additional savings.  New lamps have a longer life and lower maintenance costs than current systems.

 

Jeff Gross explained how Johnson Controls acts as an Energy Service Company (ESCo) as defined by Florida state law to partner with local governments to finance the replacement of lighting systems via a performance contract that rewards attainment of promised results.  Johnson Controls will perform a full engineering analysis of utility systems (electricity, HVAC, water) and recommend systems and technologies that can produce substantial efficiencies and savings.  The company will guarantee efficiency gains, not just share in easily achievable cost savings.  He stressed that this is an opportunity for the City to do a complete utility efficiency study and make substantial infrastructure improvements that may have always been desired but not affordable.  He explained that Sec. 489.145, F.S. regulates ESCo contracts regarding interest rates and amortization periods, guaranteed performance and risk transfer to the private company.

The committee engaged in considerable discussion and asked questions of Paul Harden representing the Jacksonville Jaguars and Karen Chastain of the General Counsel’s Office regarding the number and use of the City’s suite, Touchdown Club tickets and Terrace Suite tickets.  Mr. Harden expressed the Jaguars’ interest in being able to market the City’s suite and the two set of tickets, particularly the Terrace Suite tickets which are in high demand.  He suggested that if the City wished to retain the rights to some tickets to use for distribution to deserving students, community groups, etc., that a conversion factor could be developed to convert the 25 Terrace Suite tickets (worth $325 apiece) into a far larger number of $40 tickets to accommodate a much larger group of recipients.  He also stated that the Jaguars stand ready as they always have to make tickets available to the City to meet the requirements of facility marketing agreements or to entertain economic development clients, etc.

Council Member Crescimbeni suggested the need to ensure that the City is not opening itself up to potential challenges from payers of the solid waste user fee who stand to lose one collection day (bi-weekly collection of recycling rather than weekly) but don’t see any reduction of their fee when compared to households that get weekly recycling collection.  Solid Waste Division Chief Fred Forbes stated that the City does not view the potential change as a reduction in service – all recyclable materials will be collected from each home and homeowners in the automated collection area will receive a larger recyclable materials container to use.  The City is trying to squeeze greater efficiency out of a system with a disappointingly low public participation rate.

JEDC Executive Director Ron Barton stated that the proposed land conveyance is a good deal for the City because the conveyance of $1.2 million in land will relieve the City of its current obligation of a $5 million cash contribution to the Regional Transportation Center project embodied in the City’s 5-year CIP.  That obligation has been continually deferred to future years because of tight budget conditions.  In his opinion the development prospects for the convention center area all hinge upon the successful development of the RTC.  The committee discussed reverter clauses for both the RTC parcel and the three development parcels covered by this bill and the desirability of having all development on the parcels come to the JEDC and the City Council for approval.  Council Member Crescimbeni adamantly opposed JTA being in the property development business.

 

AMEND/APPROVE 4-1 (Crescimbeni)
