w/comMpkstedapp. <4pages)
The City of Galena wishes to take advantage of the opt -in technical assistance program. We will
have towait for the appointed service provider's technical assistance tudetermine the full scope
of work. The City is committed to providing in -kind services/equipment/personnel contributions in
addition tovehicles and storage ofequipment toassist inthis project. VVahave opodfiauthree
buildings to receive and energy audit and assessment by the service provider:
1} City Hall - Daily operations and weekly public meetings with the public health clinic
operations in part of the building. Currently using older boiler system, but trying to adjust
management cfwaste heat provided bypower plant.
2) Larson Community Hall - Weekly attendance by Village Elders for bingo and social
meetings. Funerals are also held here for all residents. Very tall, older, building with limited
insulation and 2boilers with forced -air fans. Whole building must boheated tzuse any portion of
it.
3) Galena Pool - Only constructive entertainment for 170 children at GILA and residents who
are land -locked inthe Interior. Current costs for heat are over $1U0.QQO. Trying ouget best use
of waste heat from power plant, but losing pressure in system.
6.Additional Comments
The City ofGalena was devastated Uythe closing ufit's USAir Force base. After October /f
2O08.the City lost over 7O%ofit's revenue stream from utilities. The City was also left with a
generating system designed k,handle anadditional 1000inhabitants. TUo58O residents and the
students of the Galena Interior Learning Academy now must bear the brunt of that impact. The
City must reduce it's power consumption for each individual building to keep each of these vital
services functioning. Estimates for the buildings cited would beinthe $1OO.O0Oplus category for
utilities without energy efficiency savings. The Qr/smeager general fund would not allow for
their continued operation.
Barges run generally from late May to early Septernber. All other shipments must be sent via air.
Local labor is readily available.

City of North Pole
2. To what extent is the community committed to coordinating, planning and working with the
contractor? Please describe.
The City has 13city buildings that could benefit from energy efficiency upgrades. North Pole is
small city of 2000 so it does not have the technical expertise to assess and implement energy
efficiency upgrades. The EECIBG Option 1 will provide the City with a "turnkey" alternative to
achieve greater energy efficiency in its buildings --access to vetted technical expertise to
determine the deficiencies in current energy utilization: identification of energy efficiency
improvements; recommendations of reputable suppliers and contractors; and assistance with
satisfying grant reporting requirements. Energy audits of City facilities will support budget planning
to implement additional energy -saving actions beyond those funded with the grant award.
3.Will in -kind support beprovided tothe project bythe community? If so, please describe the types
ofin-kind support that are available (|ahor, storage, lodging, other),and the extent tuwhich itis
North Pole'sPublic Works Department has only two full time employees; however, these staff
members do have skills that can be used for basic construction activities. The North Pole Fire
Department has employees with construction skills that could be used for construction -related
activities ouFire Department facilities. The Director ofCity Services will provide administrative
support for the project. Depending upon the results of energy audits, recommended
improvements and estimated pay -back times, the City Council will actively consider funding
energy improvements beyond those funded with grant dollars.

5. Summary ofProject NORTH POLE 10-103 (4 pages)
The majority ofthe ChyofNorth Pole public facilities are between 2Uand 4Qyears old. When
these buildings were constructed, energy was relatively inexpensive, attitudes toward energy
saving were different, and energy saving technologies were less effective than those available
today. With competing demands for scarce public resources, it is challenging for a small
municipality to overcome the financial hurdle for initiating upgrades in the energy efficiency of its
facilities. The funding from the EECBG will provide the City with start-up funding to initiate efforts
to improve energy efficiency of its facilities. The critical first step in improving the energy
efficiency of the City's facilities is an assessment of the the current state of energy usage and the
facilities' conditions; recommendations for improving energy efficiency; and cost -benefit data
including estimated payback for investments in energy efficiency improvements. With this
information, the City can use the remainder of the grant funds to make energy efficiency
improvements that will generate immediate results and cost savings. Energy efficiency
improvement recommendations that cost more than the balance of grant funds will be the
foundation for an energy efficiency improvement plan to be funded with City funds and possible
grant and loan awards.
6.Additional Comments
The City ofNorth Pole recognizes the need mimprove energy efficiency auits facilities and inits
operations and has made energy efficiency a priority component of capital projects. The City has
received funding from USDA -Rural Development, Environmental Protection Agency, Alaska
Department of Environmental Conservation, and Alaska Department of Transportation and Public
Facilities matched with City cash for a series of capital projects. Below is a summary of capital
projects scheduled for 2010-2011 that have significant energy -saving components.

Budget Narrative
Please briefly describe the use of EECBG funds and any matching funds, as categorized above:
Asaparticipant inEEC8GOption 1.the City will rely heavily upon the technical expertise of
project- p rovid ed consultants. The City has identified the need to conduct energy assessments of its
h*ci|ities, but lacks the resources to make the initial investment. Aprofessional energy assessments that
provide sound recommendations about needed upgrades, costs, and energy savings -payback data will
provide the City with the ability to make sound policy and funding decisions. With an energy saving plan,
the City can allocate resources for those activities that ran be funded internally and that use intemal labor
and can budget for more expensive project. A professionally conducted energy assessment of City facilities
will also provide the City with technically sound data to support grant and loan applications.
Matching contributions will be in -kind labor from the Public Works, Fire Department, and Administration
staff. Depending upon the recommendations of the energy assessment, particularly ones that provide
documentable rapid payback and future budget savings, the North Pole City Council may be willing to
commit significant financial resources ooenergy upgrades.
