WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE OUT HERE.

THIS IS ONE BIG HAPPY COMMITTEE AND WE ONLY HAVE SO MANY SPACES

UP HERE.

BUT IF THERE'S ANYBODY WHO IS IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO

STAND UP, INTRODUCE THEMSELVES, YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO TAKE

THIS TIME.

2

ANYONE?

>>RANDY STRIBLING.

>>THANK YOU, RANDY.

ANYONE ELSE?

>>MARK CHIEF OF OPERATIONS.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: WE WANT THE CITY OF TAMPA TO KNOW YOU'RE

ALWAYS WELCOME UP HERE, TOO. OKAY.

WE'RE GOING TO SHIFT INTO MARGARET YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE US AN

ELECTRIC CHARGE STATION UPDATE.

>>MARGARET RUSH: GOOD MORNING.

WE ARE IN THE HOMESTRETCH OF OUR GRANT PERIOD FOR THE ELECTRIC

CAR CHARGING STATIONS AND SOME GOOD DATA HAS BEGUN TO COME IN I

WANT TO THANK HILDA RODRIGUEZ SHE SUPPLIED US WITH THE STATION

AND RANDY THERE YOU ARE WHO HAS BEEN WATCHING THE ELECTRIC USE ON

OUR STATION SENT ME SOME OF THEIR DATA SO I CAN SHARE WITH YOU

AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON OUT THERE.

THIS IS WHAT MOST OF THE STATIONS LOOK LIKE THIS IS AT

BLOOMINGDALE LIBRARY WHILE WE'RE ON ELECTRIC I WANT TO LET YOU

KNOW THAT EPC WITH THE HELP OF FLEET HAS PURCHASED A SECOND

3

ELECTRIC VEHICLE SO WE KNOW -- WE HAVE BOTH.

AND ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM WE WOULD LOVE TO SHOW THEM

TO YOU IF YOU'RE A COUNTY PERSON WE NEED TO PUT YOU IN THE CAR

AND TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE SO LET US KNOW.

THE GOOD NEWS IS ALL OF THE STATIONS HAVE BEEN IN USE.

THIS IS A CHART RANDY HAS MADE FOR US.

THIS SHOWS THE TOTAL ELECTRIC USE OF THE STATIONS COMBINED FROM

THE VERY BEGINNING BACK DOWN IN DECEMBER OF 2011.

UP THROUGH JULY 2013.

AND YOU CAN SEE THERE'S BEEN A SLOW RISE INCREASE OF USE OF THE

STATIONS OVER TIME.

AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE WANTED TO SEE AND IT'S GREAT.

WE SCORED A PLATEAU UP THERE ABOUT 600 KILOWATTS A MONTH OR $60 A

MONTH IN USE OF THE STATIONS.

SO THAT'S GOOD.

AND THEN OF COURSE YOU MIGHT ASK WELL WHICH STATIONS ARE WE USING

THE MOST.

AND THIS GRAPH WILL SHOW YOU THAT.

THAT FIRST BAR THERE HAD, THE TALLEST BAR IS EPC.

4

WE DO HAVE A STAFF PERSON AT EPC THAT PLUGS IN EVERY DAY AND HE

LOVES IT.

SO -- BUT CATCHING UP VERY, VERY QUICKLY IS THE PIERCE STREET

PARKING GARAGE ACROSS THE STREET HAS BECOME VERY, VERY POPULAR SO

THAT'S GREAT TO SEE.

THE NEXT TWO COLUMNS YOU SEE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OUR LIBRARIES.

ONE WITH THE HIGHEST USE IS ACTUALLY THE JAN PLAT LIBRARY IN

SOUTH TAMPA AND THAT WAS KIND OF A NICE SURPRISE SOMEWHERE DOWN

THERE HAS FOUND IT AND BLOOMINGDALE IS REALLY SHOWING GOOD USE

THE FIFTH ONE THERE IS THE PLANT CITY COURTHOUSE SO SOMEONE IN

PLANT CITY IS USING IT.

AND THE STRAGGLER OVER THERE IS JIMMY KEEL LIBRARY BUT SOMEBODY

IS PLUGGING IN OCCASIONALLY OVER THERE JIMMY KEEL SORT OF SITS ON

A STRETCH WITH NO OTHER BUILDINGS TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT AND I

THINK THAT'S HURT THAT STATION A LITTLE BIT BUT SOMEONE IS USING

IT AND PLUGGING IN SO THAT WAS GREAT.

NOW WHEN YOU SORT OF EVALUATE STATIONS AND HOW THEY ARE DOING,

CERTAINLY YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE ENERGY USE BUT THERE ARE A

COUPLE OF OTHER CONCEPTS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW ABOUT ONE IS THE

5

INCOME OF SESSIONS THE ACTIVITY OF THE STATIONS HOW OFTEN IS

SOMEONE COMING IN AND OUT.

IN GENERAL SINCE JANUARY WE'VE HAD OVER 1,000 SESSIONS AT OUR

STATIONS.

THAT'S SOMETHING YOU OUGHT TO THINK ABOUT IF YOU EVER DECIDE TO

START CHARGING FOR YOUR SESSION.

ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPT IS WHAT IS CALLED UNIQUE DRIVERS.

AND THAT'S HOW MANY DIFFERENT DRIVERS ARE USING THE STATION.

EVERYBODY WHO USES THE STATION HAS TO SWIPE A CARD AND EVERY CARD

HAS A DIFFERENT NUMBER SO HILDA HAS BEEN ABLE TO PICK UP THIS

MATERIAL THIS IS INFORMATION SHE SENT TO ME SHE'S BEEN ABLE TO

PICK UP HOW MANY DIFFERENT CARS ARE USING THE STATIONS IT'S

REALLY GREAT UNDER UNIQUE DRIVERS IT LOOKS LIKE HILLSBOROUGH

COUNTY HAS HAD OVER 20 UNIQUE DRIVERS USING OUR STATION SO THAT'S

REALLY VERY GOOD.

THE NEXT SLIDE AND OF COURSE HILDA WOULD LOVE US TO INCREASE OUR

LOCATION SO SHE TILED IT WHICH LOCATION DO WE INCREASE.

BUT IF YOU COMPARE TWO LIBRARIES LET'S LOOK AT THE PLAT STREET

LIBRARY AND THE BLOOMINGDALE LIBRARY YOU MAY HAVE REMEMBERED PLAT

6

STREET HAD A LITTLE MORE ELECTRICITY THAN BLOOMINGDALE BUT IF YOU

LOOK AT THE UNIQUE DRIVERS CONCEPT OFTEN PLAT HAS A SHORTER BAR

OFTEN MAYBE JUST TWO PEOPLE ARE USING THAT STATION.

WHEREAS BLOOMINGDALE MOST OF THE TIME HAS THREE, FOUR, FIVE AND

SIX DIFFERENT DRIVERS WHO HAVE FOUND THAT STATION AND THEY ARE

USING THE STATION SO SOMETIMES IT MIGHT BE THAT STATION THAT IS

GOING TO GROW FAST BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE HAVE FOUND IT.

NOW, THE STATION THAT'S DOING THE BEST IN BOTH CATEGORIES IS WHAT

HILDA HAS CALLED THE CENTER GARAGE ON KENNEDY FOR US WE KNOW IT

AS THE PIERCE STREET COUNTY PARKING GARAGE ACROSS THE STREET AND

THAT STATION SHOWS BOTH GOOD OVERALL ENERGY USE AND A GOOD NUMBER

OF UNIQUE DRIVERS.

I THINK WE HAVE OVER TEN DRIVERS USING THAT STATION DOWN IN THE

PARKING GARAGE.

IN FACT WHEN I DRIVE UP THERE THIS IS THE EPC LEASE IN THE MIDDLE

IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE STATIONS IN THE GARAGE THAT'S WHAT IT

LOOKS LIKE AND THERE WERE TWO VOLTS PLUGGED IN SO I COULDN'T THE

USE THE FAST STATION THE OTHER DAY I HAD TO DO A SLOW CHARGE SO

THAT'S GOOD TO SEE.

7

THE ONE THING TO THINK ABOUT AS WE MOVE aHEAD AND WHAT DO WE DO

ON ELECTRIC VEHICLES IS TO CONSIDER UP TO THIS POINT MOST OF THE

CARS HAVE BEEN A CHEVY VOLT OR A NISSAN LEAF THERE ARE ONE OR TWO

OF THOSE BEAUTIFUL TESLAS DRIVING AROUND BUT MOSTLY IT'S BEEN A

VOLT AND LEAF PLUGGING IN AS WE MOVE FORWARD A LOT MORE CAR

MANUFACTURERS SEEM TO THINK THEY ARE GOING TO BE MAKING ELECTRIC

CARS SOME EXAMPLES ARE THE PRIUS PLUG-IN FORD CAME OUT WITH THE

C-MAX AND FORD FOCUS ACTUALLY THEY ARE AT BILL CURRY FORD THEY

ARE ON THE LOT THE CADILLAC IS COMING OUT WITH A SLEEK ELECTRIC

CAR BMW IS COMING OUT MITSUBISHI HAS A LARGER CAR COMING OUT IF

YOU THINK ABOUT THE USAGE WITH ONLY TWO VEHICLES IT MAY BE THAT

THE VOLT AND THE NISSAN LEAF WE MAY HAVE A LOT MORE OF IF ALL OF

THESE CARS START SHOWING UP.

>>EXCUSE ME MARGARET JUST GOT ON THE NEWS A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO

THE NEW TESLA IF ANYBODY IS UP FOR IT.

>>MARGARET RUSH: IT WAS ALSO ON THE NEWS LAST NIGHT THE TESLA IS

ONE OF THE SAFEST VEHICLES TO DRIVE IT DOESN'T HAVE A AN ENGINE

IN THE FRONT THE WAY THE METAL IS PUT TOGETHER SO MAYBE A LOT OF

SAFETY FEATURES THEY WILL PUT IN FUTURE CARS SO IT'S REALLY VERY

8

INTERESTING.

THANK YOU, RANDY.

SO WHAT ARE THE FINANCIAL IMPACTS BEEN TO US?

YOU MAY REMEMBER WHEN WE PUT THIS GRANT INTO PLACE WE AGREED AND

WE HAVE TO THANK FACILITIES AND TOM FASS THEY FOUND IT IN THEIR

BUDGET TO PAY FOR ELECTRICITY AND ALLOWED PEOPLE TO USE THESE

STATIONS FOR FREE I ALWAYS FIND PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A FEEL

FOR WHAT DOES IT COST TO CHARGE THESE CARS AND YOU'RE A PRETTY

EDUCATED GROUP YOU'VE LISTENED TO SOME OF THESE PRESENTATIONS SO

I LEFT THE ANSWER BLANK HERE FOR JUST A SECOND IN YOUR MIND WHAT

DO YOU THINK MAYBE THE COUNTIES HAVE HAD TO SPEND TO CHARGE THE

STATIONS AND RANDY IS NOT ALLOWED TO ANSWER.

BUT THINK TO YOURSELF.

SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE GRANT PERIOD ELECTRICITY CHARGE HAS

BEEN ABOUT $824.

>>TOTAL.

>>MARGARET RUSH: TOTAL.

AND THE OTHER FINANCIAL QUESTION WE HAVE IS SO THE STATIONS ARE

OURS TO KEEP FOR FREE AND IF YOU PLUG IN THEY WILL WORK JUST FINE

9

IF YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE BUT ONE THING THAT HILDA'S GROUP

OFFERS IS A SOFTWARE PACKAGE FOR THE STATION.

THE SOFTWARE PACKAGE TELLS THE DRIVERS WHERE THE STATIONS ARE

THEY PULL UP THEIR SMARTPHONES THEY CAN LOCATE THE STATIONS IF

YOU HAVE TROUBLE WHEN YOU GET TO THE STATION THERE'S A PHONE

NUMBER YOU CAN CALL AND SAY THE STATION ISN'T WORKING CAN YOU

HELP ME OUT.

ALSO IT ALLOWS TO HAVE A PAY MECHANISM TO YOU CAN EVENTUALLY

SWIPE A CREDIT CARD OR A CHARGE POINT CARD AND PAY FOR THE

ELECTRICITY USE OF THE STATION.

AND FORTUNATELY WITH COMMISSIONER SHARPE'S OFFICE ERIC KNEW THE

DEADLINE IF WE GOT THIS PACKAGE DONE HE CALLED RANDY AND TOM FASS

AND WE ACTUALLY GOT A DISCOUNT ON RENEWING OUR SOFTWARE PACKAGE

SO FACILITIES I THINK VERY WISELY WENT aHEAD AND CHOSE TO RENEW

THAT PACKAGE FOR ANOTHER YEAR SO IT WAS $200 PER UNIT PER YEAR SO

WE HAVE 7 UNITS SO THAT WAS $1400 THAT WE HAVE INVESTED IS THAT

RIGHT, RANDY.

>>YES, FOR THIS NEXT YEAR.

>>MARGARET RUSH: RIGHT.

10

IT'S JUST A ONE-YEAR CUSTOMER.

>>MARGARET A QUICK QUESTION ON THE 824 DO YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF

AN APPLES TO APPLES COMPARISON TO SAY IF YOU HAD DONE THE SAME

AMOUNT OF ENERGY OR MILEAGE TRAVELED WITH GAS WHAT -- WOULD IT

HAVE BEEN $1600?

>>MARGARET RUSH: I DO HAVE A COMPARISON IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

IT DEPENDS WHETHER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A VOLT OR NISSAN LEAF

SOMETIMES THESE CONVERSATIONS GET A LITTLE COMPLICATED BUT I CAN

GO OVER THE FIGURES WITH YOU SUSAN I DON'T HAVE IT OFF THE TOP OF

MY HEAD BUT I CAN SHARE IT LATER.

>>I WOULD BE CURIOUS WHAT IT'S REPLACING.

>>MARGARET RUSH: GOOD QUESTION.

I'LL CHECK ON THAT FOR YOU.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE PACKAGES IN PLACE FOR THE SOFTWARE FOR

ANOTHER YEAR AND YOU KNOW THAT COST BUT THE QUESTION THAT MAY

STILL REMAIN AND RANDY I DON'T KNOW IF YA'LL HAVE MOVED FORWARD

ON THIS AND I'M GLAD THE CITY OF TAMPA IS HERE BECAUSE THEY ALSO

HAVE SOME STATIONS, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT DO WE START CHARGING

FOR USE OF THE STATIONS.

11

CERTAINLY YOU CAN KEEP THEM FOR FREE THAT GIVES A LOT OF

INCENTIVE TO GREEN TRANSPORTATION.

YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER HOW MUCH COST YOU WANT TO CARRY.

AND AGAIN, IT'S FACILITIES IS FINDING IT IN THEIR BUDGET SO WE

REALLY KNOW THAT'S A DIFFICULT THING SOMETIMES.

YOU CAN CREATE A PAY SYSTEM.

AND YOU CAN CREATE THE SYSTEM SO MAYBE YOU'RE JUST BEGINNING TO

COVER YOUR COSTS.

AN EXAMPLE THE UTILITIES IN ORLANDO, OUC, THEY HAVE 30 OR SOME

ODD STATIONS I BELIEVE.

QUITE A FEW STATIONS.

HOW MANY?

84.

OKAY.

MUCH MORE THAN OUR 7.

SO I CAN SEE WHERE MAYBE THEY ARE CONSIDERING THEY DON'T WANT TO

CARRY THAT COST.

BUT THEY HAVE DECIDED TO IMPLEMENT A PAY SYSTEM WHERE WHEN YOU

SWIPE IT ANY TIME YOU USE A STATION THERE'S A 50 CENT SESSION FEE

12

AND THEN YOU ARE GOING TO BE CHARGED JUST THE COST OF THE

ELECTRICITY.

FOR IT US IT'S SOMEWHERE AROUND 10 CENTS A KILOWATT HOUR.

IS THAT CORRECT?

SO YOU HAVE THAT CHOICE.

OR OF COURSE YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE CHOICE TO PERHAPS MAKE THIS A

REVENUE SOURCE FOR THE COUNTY WHERE YOU WOULD CHARGE A LITTLE BIT

MORE AND THE COUNTY WOULD PICK UP SOME REVENUE.

AND THIS IS WHERE IT'S A LITTLE BIT OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.

IT WOULD PROBABLY BE GOOD FOOD FOR THOUGHT TO HELP FACILITIES

MAKE A DECISION.

>>MARGARET I'VE BEEN TALKING WITH TED SIVILL (PHONETIC) CITY OF

TAMPA PARKING MANAGER REAL GOOD GUY.

HE'S WAITING FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO MAKE A DECISION AND THE WAY

I'M LOOKING AT IT I THINK WHAT WE SHOULD DO AS A COUNTY IS

WHATEVER THE CITY DOES I THINK THE COUNTY WORK TOGETHER ON AND DO

THE SAME.

AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE OUR BEST MOVE THERE.

SO WE'RE STILL KIND OF DISCUSSING IT WITH THEM THE CITY COUNCIL

13

HASN'T MADE ITS DECISION AND I THINK OUR BOARD PROBABLY NEEDS TO

MAKE THAT DECISION, ALSO.

>>MARGARET RUSH: I THINK THAT DOES MAKE GOOD SENSE I THINK IT

WOULD BE VERY CONFUSING FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE ONE STATION AT ONE

BLOCK AND THEN ANOTHER STATION DOES ANYONE HAVE A THOUGHT TO HELP

US MAKE THAT DECISION.

ANY GREEN TRANSPORTATION PEOPLE WANT TO SPEAK OUT AS TO WHETHER

WE SHOULD TRY TO KEEP THEM FREE FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN.

ALSO UNDERSTAND WE CAN IMPLEMENT THE COST TO CHARGE AT ANY POINT.

WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT THE WHOLE YEAR TO START IT AGAIN IF ALL OF

A SUDDEN WE SEE EVERYBODY IS STARTING TO USE THE STATIONS WE CAN

SAY YOU KNOW WHAT BY SUMMERTIME WE NEED TO START MAKING A LITTLE

BIT OF A CHARGE HERE IT'S A DECISION THAT CAN BE MADE AT ANY

POINT.

GO AHEAD.

>>THANKS FOR INVITING ME.

I WORK WITH TED SIVILL AT THE CITY OF TAMPA.

JUST TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT INSIGHT ABOUT HOW WE SET OUR PROGRAM

UP AT THE CITY OF TAMPA, WE AGREED TO INSTALL 10 --

14

>>WHAT WAS YOUR NAME.

>>I'M JIM CORBETT THE CITY'S PARKING MANAGER.

>>I HAD THAT WRONG I'M SORRY.

>>THAT'S OKAY WE'RE ALL ONE AND THE SAME GENERALLY.

WE HAD AGREED TO INSTALL TEN STATIONS BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2011.

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE IT'S BEEN THAT LONG ALREADY.

AS PART OF THAT PROCESS, WE HAD LIMITED REAL ESTATE THAT WE

THOUGHT WAS AVAILABLE TO INSTALL THESE STATIONS.

SO WE MADE THE DECISION TO INSTALL THEM INSIDE OUR GATED PARKING

LOTS AND GARAGES.

SO WHILE WE WERE NOT CHARGING A FEE FOR SERVICE FOR THE KILOWATT

OR JUST THE GENERAL SERVICE FEE TO USE THESE, WE WERE ABLE TO

CAPTURE ADDITIONAL REVENUE BY OUR HOURLY FEES THAT WE CHARGED TO

ENTER AND PARK IN THOSE PARKING FACILITIES.

TYPICALLY OUR FEES RANGE FROM ABOUT $1 TO $1.60 AN HOUR WHICH

CERTAINLY MORE THAN OFFSETS A KILOWATT PER HOUR COST.

JUST ON SOME OF THE NUMBERS WE'VE SEEN SO FAR.

SO WE'RE AT THE POSITION WHERE OUR USAGE IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT

WE SEE WITH THE COUNTY AND CERTAIN LOCATIONS IT'S NEGLIGIBLE AND

15

OTHER LOCATIONS IT'S PRETTY PROMINENT THE POLL GARAGE BY 36TH AND

PARK IS A VERY SUCCESSFUL LOCATION FOR US AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT

OR TWO YBOR CITY GARAGES HAVE HAD A LOT OF CHARGING OUT THERE AS

WELL WE SEE THE CLOSER YOU GET TO THE CENTER OF DOWNTOWN THE 4TH

BROOK -- THE JACKSON STREET GETS QUITE A BIT USAGE BUT THE TWIGS

GARAGE NOT NECESSARILY THE RIGHT DEMOGRAPHIC NECESSARILY FOR AN

ELECTRIC CAR USAGE PATRON AS WELL AS OUR SOUTH REGIONAL GARAGE

DOWN BY THE FORUM IT'S NOT AN EVERYDAY ATTENDED GARAGE.

IT GETS THE BULK OF ITS USE FROM FORUM EVENTS WHEN CROWDS COME IN

FOR THAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY.

SO WE'RE A LITTLE RESISTANT AT THIS POINT.

WE'RE STILL KIND OF WATCHING THE METRICS HERE.

BUT WE'RE A LITTLE RESISTANT TO PROPOSE ANY KIND OF SERVICE FEE

BUT CERTAINLY WE WOULD WANT TO BE IN CONCERT WITH THE COUNTY I

HONESTLY THINK THIS PROBABLY REQUIRES SOME FURTHER DISCUSSION I

DO LIKE THE MODEL YOU SEE IN ORLANDO IT SEEMS LIKE A REASONABLE

MODEL THEY HAVE INCORPORATED OVER THERE SO I THINK I WOULD LIKE

TO CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION WITH THIS GROUP AND BE A PART OF

WHATEVER DECISIONS ARE MADE.

16

AND I APOLOGIZE I DON'T HAVE A FANCY SLIDE TO SHOW YOU OUR

METRICS.

BUT HILDA CAN CERTAINLY HELP US WITH THAT.

>>ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR JIM?

>>MARGARET RUSH: RANDY WE'LL CERTAINLY STAY IN TOUCH THEN AND

DO THE SAME THING YA'LL DECIDE TO DO DOES ANYONE HAVE A VERY

STRONG FEELING ON THIS?

I MEAN CERTAINLY I WOULD GUESS WE DON'T WANT TO KILL THE

INITIATIVE BY CHARGING TOO MUCH.

AND WE NEED TO EITHER KEEP IT CLOSE TO FREE OR JUST TO COVER SOME

OF OUR COSTS.

SO THAT THINGS DON'T GET OUT OF HAND.

AND DR. GARRITY.

>>RICK GARRITY: CAN WE CONDITION AT THE STAFF LEVEL BETWEEN THE

COUNTY AND CITY AND SEE IF THEY CAN DEVELOP SOME SORT OF JOINT

RECOMMENDATION FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS ON BOTH SIDES.

>>MARGARET RUSH: THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

>>GOOD IDEA.

>>MARGARET RUSH: OKAY WE'LL TALK SOME MORE THEN I'M JUST GOING

17

TO CLOSE I WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY COUNTRY

DEALING WITH ELECTRIC CARS.

I WAS ACTUALLY IN CANADA THIS SUMMER AND I PULLED UP TO A BEST

WESTERN AND ALMOST HAD TO JUMP OUT OF THE CAR THERE WAS AN

ELECTRIC CAR STATION RIGHT THERE IN FACT THEY HAD TWO AND THEY

ARE CALLING IT CANADA'S GREENING THE HIGHWAY INITIATIVE. SO

WE'RE NOT ALONE OUT THERE.

>>I DO HAVE A QUESTION IF WE WERE TO DESIGN A SYSTEM THOUGH AT

SOME POINT A FLEX SYSTEM THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO CAPTURE OUR

COSTS, WHAT WOULD THAT -- SO I WASN'T WRITING DOWN THE NUMBERS

BUT IF WE LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF USERS AND FACTORED IN I DON'T

KNOW IF THEY DO IT BY TIME.

>>MARGARET RUSH: YOU CAN DO IT ABSOLUTELY ANY WAY.

YOU CAN JUST --

>>I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE AN ANSWER READY SO SHOULD SOMEONE

SUGGEST THAT WE'RE AGAIN PROVIDING A SUBSIDIZED ENERGY WE CAN SAY

FIRST OFF WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE COORDINATING WITH THE CITY

THAT MAKES ABSOLUTELY GOOD SENSE SECOND WE'RE LOOKING AT AS THIS

PROGRAM TAKES EFFECT PEOPLE BECOME COMFORTABLE WITH IT HOW WE CAN

18

CAPTURE OUR COSTS BUT I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT THAT WOULD

MEAN PERUSE.

>>COMMISSIONER I'VE GOT ALL OF THAT I'VE GOT IT CALCULATED USING

THE COST NOT THE DISCOUNTED COST FOR THE SOFTWARE BUT THE

STANDARD COST AND THE NUMBER OF USES AND THE KILOWATT HOURS THAT

WE PAID FOR IF WE WERE TO CHARGE $3 PER CHARGE SESSION WE WOULD

HAVE A PROFIT OF $72.20.

PRETTY MUCH BREAK EVEN.

>>MARGARET RUSH: JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD $3 SOUNDS A LITTLE

HIGH IT MAY BE THAT SOMEONE ONLY PLUGS IN FOR 30 MINUTES THAT

WOULD MAKE NO SENSE AND I THINK FOR THIS FIRST YEAR, RANDY, I

THINK IT'S OKAY TO FACTOR IN THAT WE DID GET A DISCOUNT.

THE OTHER THING TO CONSIDER I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T SAY THIS IN

FRONT OF HILDA IT COULD BE ONE DAY IF EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE THE

STATIONS ARE WE MAY NOT NECESSARILY NEED ALL OF THE SOFTWARE

PACKAGE THEN YOU'RE PURELY JUST PAYING FOR ELECTRICITY.

SO -- BUT WE DO NEED TO COME UP WITH CHOICES AND FIGURES LIKE

COMMISSIONER SHARPE SAID.

>>GET MORE INFORMATION AND LOOK AT IT EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LET'S

19

BE PREPARED.

>>MARGARET RUSH: RANDY WE'LL COME OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CITY

THEN AND MOVE FORWARD.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: WE'RE NOW GOING TO GO TO THE CNG UPDATE

WHO IS GOING TO LEAD OFF WITH THAT.

IS THAT GEORGE.

>>HE'S NOT HERE BUT I'M IN.

>>JOHN LYONS: OKAY A COUPLE OF THINGS ARE GOING ON WITHIN THE

SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT, NOTHING ON THE WATER WASTEWATER SIDE AT

THIS POINT WITH REGARD TO VEHICLES.

WE HAVE BUDGETED FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR TWO TRANSFER TRUCKS

BECOMING CNG.

WE'RE STILL EVALUATING THE FILLING STATION LOCATION AND KIND OF

THE IMPACT ON THE ROUTING OF THE TRUCKS ON THAT.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WITH THE RESIDENTIAL COLLECTION CONTRACTS,

THE THREE HAULERS TWO OF THE THREE ARE IMMEDIATELY GOING TO CNG

FLEETS.

THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF EITHER CONSTRUCTING OR PERMITTING AND

CONSTRUCTING FACILITIES.

20

IN THE INTERIM THE THIRD HAULER WILL BE TRANSITIONING TO CNG IN

THE FUTURE.

IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A MATTER OF -- THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO FILL

AT THAT SITES BECAUSE OF THE OF SIZE OF THEIR FLEETS.

SO THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN PRETTY QUICKLY WITHIN THE NEXT SIX

WEEKS OR SO.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: FANTASTIC THANK YOU I KNOW YOU REPRESENT

-- WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM TRILLIUM.

>>ANDDRIKK FRAZIER: I ACTUALLY HAVE A SMALL POWERPOINT LIKE FOUR

SLIDES.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: WE PICKED A GOOD ISSUE WHEN WE STARTED

THIS SEVERAL YEARS BACK TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE WERE GOING

TO FOCUS ON I WAS LOOKING SHORT-TERM, LONG-TERM.

LONG-TERM I THOUGHT THE CHARGING STATIONS WOULD BE VERY EXCITING

BUT I FELT IT WOULD TAKE SOME TIME I'M GLAD TO SEE TESLA HASN'T

FLOPPED IN FACT IT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED

ABOUT THE CHEVY VOLT AND HOW THAT WILL WORK BUT I THINK WITH THE

CNG THERE'S NO QUESTION IF YOU LOOK AT THE INVENTORY OF SUPPLY IN

OUR COUNTRY AND EVERYONE SHIFTING TO GAS THAT DEFINITELY IS WHERE

21

THINGS ARE HEADED THAT WAS A GOOD PICK.

AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO HELP THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND

OTHERS AS THEY MAKE THE TRANSITION.

>>ANDDRIKK FRAZIER: THANK YOU COMMISSIONER THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT

SEGUE ACTUALLY WAY TO TEE IT UP I APPRECIATE IT.

THE TRILLIUM SIDE IS ONE THING WE ARE BEEN WORKING ON FOR ROUGHLY

A YEAR I'M HAPPY TO SAY WE'RE APPROACHING THE FINISH LINE IT'S

BEEN A TOUGH SUMMER WITH THE WEATHER IT RAINING EVERY DAY AT LAST

COUNT IT WAS 28 LOST DAYS DUE TO RAIN WE'RE A LITTLE BIT BEHIND

SCHEDULE BUT AS OF THIS WEEK WE SHOULD START FORMING PATHS NEXT

WEEK AND SETTING EQUIPMENT THE FIRST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER SO WE'RE

LOOKING AT GRAND OPENING EVENT IN OCTOBER HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE

SOME VEHICLES FUELING PRIOR TO THEN WE ACTUALLY HAVE

REPRESENTATIVE FROM AEC GEORGE BADEYA (PHONETIC) OUR LOCAL

CONTRACTOR, LOCAL FIRM, GOOD LOCAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING

ON THE SITE ALL SUMMER AGAIN WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO GETTING

THINGS DONE.

AND JUST -- IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT WITH THIS STATION WASTE

SERVICES INCORPORATED A PIECE OF PROPERTY DIRECTLY ACROSS THE

22

STREET AND DURING THEIR EVALUATION PROCESS, ON HOW THEY ARE GOING

TO INSTALL THEIR STATION, THEY WILL BE UTILIZING THIS STATION AS

WELL WITH THEIR NEW TRUCKS BEGINNING TO ARRIVE NEXT MONTH TIMELY

OPENING, GREAT POSITION, GREAT LOCATION AND WE'VE HAD AN

OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE COUNTY AND ALSO THE SCHOOL BOARD AND

ALSO USING THIS FACILITY WHEN IT'S UP AND RUNNING.

SECOND THING I WANT TO ANNOUNCE IS I THINK IS SOMETHING THAT'S A

PRETTY BIG DEAL AND GREAT PARTNERSHIP WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO FORM A

RELATIONSHIP WITH RADIANT WE HAVE THE CFO JOHN ERNIE HERE AS WELL

WHO WILL HOPEFULLY BE OPENING SEVERAL STATIONS ACROSS THE AREA

FIRST ONE AN RIGHT ON THE CORNER OF COLUMBIA AND 5TH STREET FOR

ALL OF YOU EFFICIENT -- RIGHT NEXT TO PRACADO'S (PHONETIC)

INSTALLING TWO CNG DISPENSERS HERE 100% REDUNDANCY FUELING RATES

OF 8 TO 10 GALLONS PER MINUTE THE STATION WILL HOPEFULLY BE

OPENING SECOND QUARTER OF 2014 PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING DESIGN IS

COMPLETE USERS HERE WE HOPE TO ATTRACT FOLKS THAT WANT TO ENTER

THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PORT AS WELL AS BEING ABLE TO SERVE SEVERAL

OF THOSE FLEETS THAT ARE ALONG 40TH STREET ACCESSIBILITY FOR

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AND ALSO THE

23

CITY OF TAMPA.

ONE OF THE RESOUNDING THINGS THAT I'VE HEARD ACROSS THE STATE

ESPECIALLY FROM THE GOVERNMENTAL SECTOR IS OF COURSE THAT THE

CAPITAL EXPENSE WOULD HAVE TO GO IN TO PUT IN YOUR OWN STATION

AND ALSO CONVERTING OVER YOUR VEHICLES AND WE HAVE HEARD THAT

TIME AND TIME AGAIN AND WE NOW HAVE A RESPONSE.

OF THE PUBLIC STATIONS THAT WE'RE OPENING HERE IN THE STATE OF

FLORIDA I'VE GOTTEN PERMISSION FROM LEADERSHIP TO OFFER ALL

GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES BASICALLY WHAT BOILS DOWN TO 1.99 GASOLINE

EQUIVALENT FOR A FUELING RATE THIS IS A NON-CONTRACTED RATE

THERE'S NOT A COMMITMENT WITH VOLUME.

YOU WILL HAVE TO UTILIZE A TRILLIUM CAR BUT THIS IS AGAIN A RATE

THAT'S GOOD FOR ANY GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY.

AND JUST A REFLECTION ON NATURAL GAS PRICING, $1.0 9 COMPRESSION

FEE IS HOW YOU GET TO $1.99 RIGHT NOW GAS IS ABOUT $3.50 AT MCF

FOR EVERY DOLLAR THAT INCREASES UP OR DOWN YOU HAVE ABOUT 12 AND

A HALF CENT CHANGE IN YOUR PRICE AT THE PUMP TO KEEP THINGS IN

PERSPECTIVE OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST THREE YEARS YOU'VE BEEN

IN THE BAND OF UNDER $5 IN MCF FOR NATURAL GAS SO AN OPPORTUNITY

24

FOR GOVERNMENTS TO PLUG SOME NUMBERS INTO THEIR BUDGET UNDERSTAND

WHAT THE COST IMPACT WILL BE WITHOUT HAVING TO DIVE DIRECTLY IN

IF THERE IS A SITUATION WHERE A GOVERNMENT DOES WANT TO CONTRACT

WE CAN REDUCE THE RATE AND ADD ON SOME ADDITIONAL SAVINGS.

THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT ON THE CNG UPDATE FOR HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY

UNLESS ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: GOOD JOB SORRY WE COULDN'T HELP YOU WITH

A RAIN I HAVE A GOOD FRIEND HE'S A PILOT HE'S LIKE THIS IS

CAMBODIA IT'S HEAVY.

OKAY.

HART RANDY ARE YOU GOING --

>>RANDY STRIBLING: I HAVE NO.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: PERFECT THAT'S FINE.

>>RANDY STRIBLING: RANDY STRIBLING SENIOR MANAGER OF CAPITAL

DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING FOR HART WE'RE CURRENTLY UNDER

CONSTRUCTION WITH OUR CNG FUELING STATION AND ALSO RENOVATING OUR

MAINTENANCE FACILITIES SO THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN OUR BUSES.

ONCE IT'S COMPLETE IN APRIL OF NEXT YEAR.

CURRENTLY WE HAVE THE -- WE'RE DOING A DESIGN BUILD.

25

THEY ARE DOING THE UNDERGROUND UTILITIES, GAS PIPING HAS BEEN

INSTALLED.

THERE'S SOME HUGE GAS PRESSURES THAT TECO IS BRINGING IN FOR US.

ELECTRICAL WORK IS UNDER WAY AND WE ANTICIPATE THE DELIVERY OF

OUR EQUIPMENT THIS FALL.

SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER TIME.

FOR THE COMPRESSORS.

WE WILL -- OUR TOTAL BILLOUT WILL BE SIX COMPRESSORS BUT WE'RE

STARTING WITH FOUR WITH -- AND OVERFLOW OF WHAT YOU MIGHT -- IT'S

FOR OUR FINAL BUILDOUT.

WE HAVE TO BUILD SOME EXTRA CAPACITY IN.

ALSO WE ARE -- HAVE ON OUR BOARD AGENDA FOR THE 9TH IS THE

PURCHASE OF 28 IS VEHICLES.

IT WAS APPROVED BY THE FTA COMMITTEE THE OTHER DAY.

AND THOSE ARE VANS.

I THINK THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON A CONSORTIUM BID IN ORDER TO

GET THE FULL-SIZE BUSES COMING UP.

I THINK THERE'S 11 BUSES ON THE HORIZON TO BE ORDERING.

AND ONE LAST THING, HART WAS JUST SELECTED ONE OUT OF -- AS ONE

26

OF TEN AGENCIES FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY FROM THE FTA TO GO

THROUGH ISO 14,000 CERTIFICATION.

SO WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THAT OVER THE NEXT YEAR.

SO THAT'S JUST A NUTSHELL OF WHERE WE ARE.

>>WHO IS YOUR STATION BUILDER.

>>RANDY STRIBLING: CLEAN ENERGY.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: CAN YOU JUST BRIEFLY DO YOU KNOW OFF THE

TOP OF YOUR HEAD THE SAVINGS THAT WE'VE ENJOYED AS A RESULT OF

THIS TRANSITION?

>>WELL, OUR DIESEL FUEL WE RUN ABOUT 8,000 GALLONS A NIGHT OF

DIESEL FUEL AND WE'RE RIGHT AT $3 A GALLON FOR THAT.

SO EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT, THE EQUIVALENT COST

OF CNG WE'RE LOOKING AT A MINIMUM OF $1 A GALLON SAVINGS PER

NIGHT.

THAT DEPENDS ON THE MARKET.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: VERY HELPFUL WHEN WE HAVE GONE THROUGH A

BUDGET IN LEAN YEARS THIS HAS BEEN A GOOD MOVE.

>>IT WILL TAKE US TEN YEARS TO MAKE A FULL TRANSITION.

WE HAVE A LOT OF DIESEL BUSES FOR SALE.

27

(CHUCKLES).

>>RANDY STRIBLING: ANYWAY THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IN A NUTSHELL WHERE

WE ARE.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: THANK YOU.

>>RANDY STRIBLING: WE'LL HAVE A TOUR ONCE WE GET IT COMPLETE.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: THANK YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE?

>>LAST MINUTE ADDITION.

MY NAME IS IAN BOIL GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS MANAGER FOR WASTE SERVICES

OF FLORIDA PROGRESSIVE WASTE SOLUTIONS I'LL ACTUALLY PUT AN

EXCLAMATION POINT ON MR. LYONS COMMENTS WE'RE ONE OF THE

FRANCHISE HAULERS WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF FINALIZING

WHO IS GOING TO BE BUILDING OUR STATION.

WE HAVE A NEW YARD ON 41 AND MADISON.

PLAN ON CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ORDERED WE HAVE THEM

DELIVERED DEFINITELY FOR OCTOBER 1ST, 44 CNG TRUCKS FOR THE

RESIDENTIAL CONTRACT.

WE'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING A STATION ON THAT FACILITY OF 41 AND

MADISON.

28

YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE 44 STATIONS AT THE BEGINNING AND THEN

HOPEFULLY GET UP TO 80 STATIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE OTHER TRUCKS IN

OUR FLEET WE'LL SWITCH OVER, AS WELL.

BUT UNTIL THAT STATION IS BUILT UP WE DO HAVE RELATIONSHIPS SET

UP WITH TRILLIUM AND OBVIOUSLY WITH THE FACILITY UP BY THE

AIRPORT WHICH IS IN OUR OTHER DISTRICT.

WHAT KIND OF -- WE'RE IF FULL SWING AND MOVING IN THE RIGHT

DIRECTION.

THAT'S IT.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, IAN.

>>NO PROBLEM.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: OKAY.

IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE WE'RE GOING TO SHIFT OVER TO THE CLEAN

CITIES UPDATE.

THANK YOU, STEVE.

>>STEVE REICH: GOOD MORNING, COMMISSIONER, GOOD MORNING LADIES

AND GENTLEMEN STEVE REICH TAMPA BAY CLEAN CITIES COALITION.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA.

PLEASED TO BE HERE THIS MORNING I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE THIS

29

PRESENTATION VIOLATES EVERY RULE OF PUTTING TOGETHER A POWERPOINT

BUT MARGARET TOLD ME I HAD TO DO THIS QUICKLY SO I JUST PUT A

BUNCH OF WORDS UP THERE THAT YOU ALL COULD READ WHILE I HIGHLIGHT

A FEW THINGS ON EACH SLIDE FIRST I WOULD JUST LIKE TO BRIEF THE

GROUP ON RECENT ACTIVITIES I GUESS THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE IN

FEBRUARY THERE'S BEEN -- THE BOTTOM LINE IS THERE'S BEEN A LOT

GOING ON THANKS MOSTLY TO A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM.

BUT WE HAVE VERY SUCCESSFUL ELECTRIC VEHICLE EVENT WITH -- IN

CONJUNCTION WITH TAMPA BAY REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL GETTING

READY TAMPA BAY WHERE WE HAD ABOUT 90 ATTENDEES OVER A DOZEN

VEHICLES INCLUDING AN ALL ELECTRIC BUS, TESLAS, PROPANE BUSES,

CNG, IT WAS TERRIFIC.

WE CONTINUE TO MEET WITH OUR STEERING COMMITTEE.

MARGARET IS ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE ON ABOUT A MONTHLY BASIS.

AND WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK LOCALLY JUST TO LET FOLKS KNOW WHAT

WE'RE UP TO.

WE GOT A PIECE OF A SMALL GRANT, SUB GRANT THE CLEAN CITIES DID

IN TAMPA BAY OF A -- TAMPA TO DO STATEWIDE OUTREACH AND SPENT THE

WEEK IN TAL LASSIE -- TALLAHASSEE REACHING OUT TO THE GROUPS

30

FLORIDA AIRPORTS COUNCIL AND FOLKS LIKE THAT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT

THING THAT'S HAPPENED IS KIND OF PROCESS ORIENTED AS WE MOVE

TOWARD OUR APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL DESIGNATION THAT WAS OUR

STRATEGIC PLANNING WORKSHOP WE HELD AT THE PATEL CENTER ON JULY

8TH I THANK ALL OF YOU FOR PARTICIPATED, THE CITY, THE COUNTY,

DR. GARRITY, JERRY WE HAD REPRESENTATION PRIVATE PUBLIC SECTOR

HILDA, AND WE HAD ALMOST EVERY JURISDICTION IN THE REGION

REPRESENTED, AS WELL.

WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING THAT INTO A PLAN THAT WILL

CIRCULATE TO THE MEMBERSHIP SOON.

AND SUBMIT THAT TO DOE HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER I WOULD

-- I WOULD LIKE TO GO OFF SCRIPT FOR A SECOND IN LISTENING TO ALL

OF THE WONDERFUL STUFF GOING ON HERE A PART OF WHAT WE NEED TO

DEMONSTRATE TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY IS THAT THERE IS A

MARKET HERE FOR ALTERNATIVE FUEL VEHICLES.

THE WAY THAT WE HAVE ELECTED TO TRY AND CAPTURE SOME OF THAT DATA

IS DO A SURVEY THAT'S BEEN SENT OUT TO ALL OF THE STAKEHOLDERS

BUT I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT WE'RE MISSING.

I'VE HEARD SOME THINGS THIS MORNING THAT I WASN'T AWARE OF THAT

31

IS GOING ON.

SO IF YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED ONE OF THESE E-MAILS WITH THE 48 PAGE

SURVEY TO FILL OUT, I WOULD APPRECIATE GETTING YOUR CARD OR

CONTACTING ME.

SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THE REGION GETS CREDIT FOR ALL OF

THE WONDERFUL ACTIVITY THAT'S GOING ON.

BECAUSE THAT'S A LARGE BASIS UPON WHICH THE FEDS ARE GOING TO

DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE ELIGIBLE TO BE IN THEIR CLUB.

WHICH WOULD THEN MAKE AGENCIES AND BUSINESSES IN OUR REGION

ELIGIBLE FOR SOME OF THEIR PROGRAMMATIC FUNDS.

AND FRANKLY RECOGNIZE THE TAMPA BAY REGION AS A PLAYER.

JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK THINGS IN THE NEWS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT

YOU HEARD EARLIER CNG RETAIL IS ABOUT $2.10 PER GAS GALLON

EQUIVALENT DIESEL AT 3.58 ELECTRICITY AT ABOUT 11.7 CENTS PER

KILOWATT HOUR GM REDUCED THE BASE COST ON THE SAT VOLT BY 5 GRAND

OTHERS ARE FOLLOWING SUIT WITH THEIRS.

GETTING SOME DECENT RELIABILITY FEEDBACK IN THE CONSUMER REPORTS

SURVEY OF AUTO RELIABILITY.

FORD ANNOUNCED THAT CNG BIFUEL TRUCK ALSO PROPANE IS ABOUT $8,000

32

INCREMENTAL ADD ON.

TESLA HAS OPENED TWO SUPER CHARGERS WHICH GIVES YOU 200 MILE

CHARGE IN 30 MINUTES.

ONE IN FORT MEYERS.

THE OTHER IN PORT ST. LUCY AND THERE'S BEEN A BILL INTRODUCED IN

THE SENATE THAT WOULD CREATE SOME SUBSTANTIVE LOAN GUARANTEES FOR

ALL SORTS OF ALTERNATIVE FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE, FUELING

INFRASTRUCTURE, ELECTRIC, CNG, PROPANE, OTHERS, DON'T HAVE ANY

IDEA WHERE IT MIGHT GO BUT IT WAS INTRODUCED JUST IN THE LAST FEW

WEEKS.

AS AN OUTCOME OF OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING WORKSHOP WE HAVE

DEVELOPED -- THERE WAS A MISSION AND VISION THAT WAS ON OUR WEB

SITE THAT MARGARET AND I COOKED UP ONE DAY.

THIS IS ACTUALLY SOME WORDSMITHING THAT TOOK PLACE AND INPUT FROM

THE GROUP.

AND THIS IS OUR VISION.

THAT WE HAVE A REGION THAT HAS EMBRACED THE USE OF ALTERNATIVE

FUELS. THAT HAS IMPROVED THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF OUR CITIZENS

WHILE NOT COMPROMISING OUR LEVEL OF MOBILITY.

33

OUR MISSION IS TO SUPPORT THE THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE NATIONAL

PROGRAM.

WHICH IS TO ADVANCE THE ENERGY, ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTAL SECURITY

OF THE UNITED STATES AND THAT THE CLEAN CITIES COALITION WILL BE

THE GO-TO SOURCE FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND NETWORKING IN THE

AREA OF ADVANCED TRANSPORTATION, FUELS.

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE BEEN OUT THERE TRYING TO COUNT

THINGS UP.

THIS WAS OUR LATEST COUNT ON FUELING AND CHARGING STATIONS AND AS

WE GET ADDITIONAL DATA FROM THE SURVEY, WE'LL ADD TO THIS IN THE

REGION WHICH IS DEFINED AS PASCO DOWN TO SARASOTA AND OVER TO

POLK WE HAVE COUNTED 163 ALTERNATIVE FUELING STATIONS.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN THERE OF ELECTRIC AND 141 THE VAST

MAJORITY.

SO WHERE ARE WE AND WHAT HAVE WE BEEN UP TO AND WHERE ARE WE

GOING?

HERE IS OUR PROGRESS IN TERMS OF THE DOE ROADMAP TO GET THE

DESIGNATION.

WE'RE AT THE POINT NOW WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO FINALIZE THIS PLAN.

34

THE STEERING COMMITTEE IS MEETING NEXT THURSDAY TO GO THROUGH A

FIRST CUT OF THAT.

TO BE PASSED TO MEMBERSHIP AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE IN AT LEAST

WITH A FIRST CUT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY BY THE END OF

SEPTEMBER.

SOME UPCOMING DATES, THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE RECEIVED OR SOMEONE IN

YOUR ORGANIZATION HAS RECEIVED THE SURVEY, WE WOULD APPRECIATE

THE RESULTS BACK BY THE 26TH OF AUGUST.

AND MARGARET HAS BEEN WORKING HARD WITH MR. FRAZIER AND OTHERS ON

A CNG TRAINING EVENT SOME TIME IN THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 1ST IS WHAT

WE HAVE TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED.

AS A PART OF THE STATEWIDE INITIATIVE AND I'LL BE MEETING WITH

THE DIRECTOR OF THE STATE ENERGY OFFICE NEXT WEEK TO TRY AND

COORDINATE THIS WITH THEM, AS WELL.

BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ALTERNATIVE FUELS NOT A ROADSHOW BUT

REALLY AN EVENT THAT WILL INCLUDE ALL ALTERNATIVE FUEL VEHICLES

RIDE AND DRIVE SOME INFORMATION EXCHANGE THIS FALL.

AND IT WILL BE TAKING PLACE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, NORTH FLORIDA, THE

PANHANDLE, TALLAHASSEE AREA AND WE'LL TAKE ON THE TAMPA BAY

35

REGION.

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

AND AGAIN IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE SURVEY WE SINCERELY

APPRECIATE YOU REACHING OUT TO US AND IF YOU'VE GOTTEN ONE JUST

FILL OUT WHAT YOU CAN MAKE SURE YOU HIT SUBMIT AND WE'VE GOT

ABOUT 18 RESPONSES OUT OF 100 SURVEYS WE HAVE SENT SO FAR.

I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: THANK YOU VERY MUCH GREAT REPORT.

>>STEVE HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT THE RANGES ARE

PROJECTED TO BE ON SOME OF THE OTHER BRAND ALL ELECTRIC VEHICLES

AND WHERE THE RANGE ISSUE MAY GO IN THE FUTURE?

I ALMOST BOUGHT A LEAF A MONTH AGO BUT BACKED OUT BECAUSE OF

RANGE ANXIETY.

>>STEVE REICH: THEY ARE MOVING UP VERY SLOWLY.

AND IN INCREMENTS OF ABOUT .5 THOUSAND KILOWATT HOUR BATTERIES.

SO LIKE FOR EXAMPLE THE LEAF -- THE VOLT I APOLOGIZE THAT'S BEING

SOLD IN CANADA BECAUSE THERE'S A THRESHOLD AT WHICH YOU GET A TAX

CREDIT FOR THE CANADIAN MARKET THERE'S GOING TO BE A SLIGHTLY

LARGER BATTERY THERE THAT WILL INCREASE THE RANGE MARGINALLY.

36

I MEAN EVERYONE HAS WAITED FOR THE BIG BREAK-THROUGH.

I'VE BEEN FOOLING AROUND WITH THIS STUFF FOR 25 PLUS YEARS AND

HYDROGEN FUEL CELL WAS ALWAYS TEN YEARS AWAY FROM

COMMERCIALIZATION BUT TO BE HONEST I DON'T KNOW MAYBE HILDA OR

SOMEONE IN THE INDUSTRY MAY HAVE A BETTER PROGNOSTIC -- IF I

COULD PREDICT WHAT THAT WOULD BE I WOULD BE IN LAS VEGAS I'M

SORRY DR. GARRITY IT'S VERY SLOW BUT THEY DO INCREASE EACH YEAR.

>>TESLA GETS 200 MILES DR. GARRITY.

>>I THINK THERE'S A SUPPORT GROUP FOR THAT, RICHARD.

>>STEVE REICH: WE ACTUALLY HAD AN ED EVENT A TWO TESLA FAMILY.

SHE HAD THE SEDAN AND HE HAD THE SPORTS ROADSTER.

THEY OBVIOUSLY DON'T WORK FOR THE PUBLIC SECTOR.

THANK YOU.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: GOOD REPORT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANYONE ELSE?

WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE TECO RENEWABLE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY

INITIATIVES.

>>BYRON BURROWS: HELLO I'M BYRON BURROWS TAMPA ELECTRIC COMPANY

MANAGER OF AIR PROGRAMS I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME TALK

37

TO YOU GUYS ABOUT KIND OF RELATED TAMPA ELECTRIC ACTIVITIES

RELATED TO YOUR INTERESTS.

AND JUST SORT OF WANT TO SHOW YOU KIND OF OUR POWER PLANTS TWO OF

THEM ARE IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY ONE IS IN POLK COUNTY.

WE HAVE A GOOD MIX OF COAL AND NATURAL GAS THAT GIVES GOOD

RELIABLE POWER SO KIND OF GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF OUR EMISSION

REDUCTIONS THAT HAVE HAPPENED AND SOME OF THE PLANS IN THE FUTURE

TO MEET THE COMING REGULATIONS AND WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR ENERGY

EFFICIENCY.

SO THIS CHART SHOWS OUR SYSTEM WIDE SULFUR OXIDE EMISSIONS WITH A

LITTLE NARRATIVE ABOUT HOW WE MADE REDUCTIONS.

OUR COAL FIRE PLAN IS BIG BEND STATION AND WE STARTED PUTTING

SCRUBBERS ON THAT IN THE 1998, '99 AND HAD A LIMITED SCRUBBING

GOING ON BEFORE THAT.

WE OPTIMIZED SOME OF THE BIG BEND ACTIVITIES AND THEN WE

REPOWERED THAT WAS KIND OF OUR BIG DECISION FROM OLDER COAL

PLANTS TO NATURAL GAS COMBINED CYCLE STATE OF THE ART POWER PLANT

SO THAT'S WHAT GETS YOU TO THESE VERY LOW LEVELS OF EMISSIONS,

90% REDUCTION.

38

SULFUR OXIDE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN DOWN. WE HAVE OTHER

CHALLENGES.

ONCE YOU REDUCE THE SULFUR OXIDE YOU WOULD MAKE A PRODUCT CALLED

JIM SUM WE DO -- GYPSUM WE DO A GOOD JOB OF SELLING IT WITH THE

DOWNWARD ECONOMY MAKES IT CHALLENGING WE GENERATE THE BYPRODUCTS

WE ALSO HAVE A SIMILAR DROP AND 9% REDUCTION RANGE FOR NITROGEN

OXIDES AND BOTH OF THOSE ARE KIND OF CRITERIA POLLUTANTS THAT

CAUSE RESPIRATORY AND NOX ALSO CONTRIBUTES TO OZONE FORMATION SO

MADE SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTIONS I'LL TIE THIS LATER ONTO ELECTRIC

VEHICLE CHARGING, WHAT THE BENEFIT IS FOR WHAT THIS TURNED OUT TO

BE A BILLION DOLLAR PROJECT TO BASICALLY GET THIS LEVEL OF

REDUCTIONS FOR OUR SERVICE TERRITORY.

SO THIS CHART KIND OF SHOWS THE YELLOW NUMBERS.

POUNDS PER YEAR.

IF YOU CHARGED YOUR CAR BACK IN 1998 ASSUMING WE DIDN'T MAKE ANY

OF THESE BILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENTS IT WOULD STILL BE BETTER THAN

A GASOLINE CAR.

AND PARTICULARLY THE GASOLINE CARS HAVE GOTTEN BETTER THIS IS

2011 KIND OF DATA.

39

BUT WE ARE ALREADY BETTER THAN A GASOLINE CAR.

BUT IF YOU USE A COMPARABLE ELECTRIC CAR TODAY, YOU HAVE TWO

POUNDS A YEAR OF NITROGEN OXIDE EMISSIONS CHARGING IT IN OUR

SERVICE TERRITORY WITH ABOUT HALF COAL AND HALF NATURAL GAS

COMPARED TO 28 MILES PER GALLON I HAVE ANOTHER SLIDE THAT TALKS

ABOUT CARBON DIOXIDE WHERE I PUT THE CRITERIA BUT BASICALLY IT'S

28 MILES PER GALLON GASOLINE CAR ABOUT 13,000 MILES A YEAR AND

THEN THE CHARGING WOULD BE IN OUR SERVICE TERRITORY AND A TYPICAL

CHARGING RATE YOU WOULD SEE FOR A VOLT OR A LEAF.

SO PRETTY COMPELLING EMISSIONS STORY.

AND ALONG THOSE LINES ANOTHER QUESTION, THE COSTS ARE

SUBSTANTIALLY LESS, EMISSIONS ARE REALLY GOOD FROM MY PERSPECTIVE

AN AIR PERSPECTIVE I THINK WE'LL BE LOOKING CLOSELY AT THIS FOR A

SOLUTION IF THEY KEEP LOWERING THE OZONE STANDARD BECAUSE LIKE I

SAID POWER PLANTS HAVE KIND OF DONE A LOT OF ALL OF THE THINGS

TECHNOLOGY WILL ALLOW US TO DO AND KEEP RELIABLE POWER.

THE CARS THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE THAT METHOD TO TRY

TO GET LOWER OZONE EMISSIONS IN OUR REGION.

ANOTHER GOOD OUTCOME FROM LOWERING OF NITROGEN, THE NITROGEN

40

OXIDES THAT GO IN THE AIR FALL DOWN EVENTUALLY AND CREATE

NUTRIENT ISSUES AND WE'RE SEEING AN IMPROVEMENT IN OUR BAYS.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD.

THIS PICTURE SHOWS KIND OF THE 1980S AROUND MACDILL AIR FORCE

BASE VERY LITTLE SEAGRASS ON THE LEFT AND IN 2012 THIS IS FROM A

RECENT ARTICLE IN THE TAMPA TRIBUNE THAT SHOWS A SUBSTANTIAL

IMPROVEMENT THAT'S INDICATIVE WE'RE GETTING BACK TO THE LEVELS

FROM THE '50S WHERE THEY FIRST STARTED MEASURING AND HAD PRETTY

APPRECIATABLE SEAGRASS LEVELS.

SO IT'S A GOOD STORY FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

THOSE ARE A COUPLE OF RESULTS FROM THAT BILLION DOLLAR

INVESTMENT: EMISSIONS DROPPED SIMILARLY BASICALLY IN UPGRADES TO

THE COAL PLAN AND REPOWERING TO NATURAL GAS. AND

MERCURY EMISSIONS HAVE DROPPED KIND OF A CO-BENEFIT WE

INTENTIONALLY FOCUS ON THOSE BECAUSE OF THE REMOVAL TECHNOLOGIES

THEY ARE ALSO REMOVING A LOT OF MERCURY WE HAVE GOTTEN DOWN TO

VERY, VERY LOW LEVELS.

SOME RESULTS THAT WE HAVE RECENTLY DISCOVERED BASED ON

INTERACTION WITH STATE REGULATORY EFFORTS IS THAT THIS IS AN

41

INTERESTING OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF SAY EVEN THOUGH IN FLORIDA

WE'VE MADE SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTIONS IN MERCURY NOT JUST TAMPA

ELECTRIC BUT ALL OF THE POWERPOINTS WE'RE NOT SEEING A BIG CHANGE

IN THE FISH TISSUE CONCENTRATION KIND OF MIXED RESULTS SO THE

INDICATION IT LOOKS LIKE INTERNATIONAL IMPACTS ARE MORE OF A

FACTOR THERE SO FURTHER REGULATION AND COST TO CUSTOMER WOULDN'T

BE WARRANTED AND THAT'S WHAT THE STATE HAS CONCLUDED AT THIS

POINT. WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT CARBON DIOXIDE FOR THE

REST OF THE PRESENTATION REPOWERING AND GOING TO MORE EFFICIENT

TECHNOLOGY WE REDUCED CO2 EMISSIONS FROM 1998 LEVELS WHICH IS OUR

PEAK AND WOULD HAVE REMAINED AT THE LEVELS HAD WE NOT MADE THE

DECISION TO DO THE REPOWERING OF THE OLDER COAL FIRE PLANTS AND

THERE'S A BREAKDOWN OF TECO ENERGY WIDE ACTUALLY OF OUR DIFFERENT

KIND OF EMISSIONS GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS CONSIST OF CARBON

DIOXIDE AND THAT, SULFUR FLUORIDE VERY SMALL AMOUNT BUT IT'S A

POTENT GREENHOUSE GAS AND NITROUS OXIDE.

SO CO2 IS BY FAR THE LARGEST EMITTER.

SO THOSE ARE OUR OPPORTUNITIES TO REDUCE EMISSIONS AND ONE OF THE

WAYS THAT WE DO REDUCE EMISSIONS AS I MENTIONED GYPSUM A MINUTE

42

AGO WE RECYCLED THE FLY ASH THE DUST FROM THE COAL FOR EVERY TON

OF FLASH WE RECYCLE IT REDUCES ABOUT A TON OF CARBON DIOXIDE IF

WE USE IT IN THE CEMENT INDUSTRY AND WE HAVE A BENEFICIATING

PROCESS THAT ALLOWS US TO DO THAT SO WE ARE UP TO ALMOST 6

MILLION TONS OF CO2 OFFSET BY RECYCLING THE FLY ASH AND YOU CAN

SEE THE CHART ON THE LEFT IS A RECYCLING RATE ABOUT 250,000 TONS

A YEAR RECYCLED IT KIND OF DROPS OFF WITH THE ECONOMY MAINLY.

SO SOME GOOD STORIES ABOUT UTILIZING OUR BYPRODUCTS.

SO THE SAME KIND OF GRAPH WE HAD FOR THE NITROGEN OXIDES, IT'S

ALSO A COMPELLING STORY FOR CARBON DIOXIDE.

BACK BEFORE WE INVESTED IN -- AND MADE OUR SYSTEM MORE EFFICIENT

IT WAS PRETTY CLOSE TO THE SAME AS GASOLINE CARS BUT MARGINALLY

BETTER TO USE -- TO PLUG IN AND EMISSIONS-WISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN

BETTER BUT NOW IT'S SUBSTANTIAL.

IT'S 45% LESS CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS USING 50% COAL 50% NATURAL

GAS A BALANCED SYSTEM IS SUBSTANTIALLY BETTER THAN A GASOLINE CAR

THAT'S THE STATS 13,000 MILES PER YEAR DRIVEN 28 MILES PER GALLON

GASOLINE AND ABOUT .35 KILOWATT HOURS PER MILE ON AN ELECTRIC

VEHICLE AND I WAS TALKING TO DR. GARRITY I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF

43

DRIVING ONE OF THE TAMPA ELECTRIC FLEET VEHICLES THIS WEEK AND

THAT'S ABOUT THE RATE YOU'RE GETTING WITH SOME NORMAL DRIVING

HABITS.

SHIFTING TO RENEWABLE ENERGY WHICH IS ALSO A HOT TOPIC ON THIS

COMMITTEE.

WE'VE OFFERED SOME INCENTIVES THROUGH OUR APPROVALS WITH THE

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION.

AND WE'VE BEEN -- YOU SEE ON THE LEFT A STEADY INCREASE UP TO 374

CUSTOMERS AS OF MAY OF THIS YEAR.

THAT ARE DOING THE SOLAR NET METERING TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

IT'S ABOUT 4500 KILOWATT OF CAPACITY INSTALLED.

SO IT'S -- I'VE GOT ANOTHER CHART I'LL SHOW YOU THAT WILL TALK

ABOUT THE IMPACT AT THIS POINT COMPARED TO OUR OTHER CHALLENGES.

WE ALSO HAVE ENERGY EFFICIENCIES HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT FLORIDA

AND HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IN PARTICULAR HAS BEEN A LEADER ON.

AND WE'VE -- I THINK WE'RE -- OUR REGION AND OUR STATE IS ALWAYS

IN THE TOP TIER OF THE NATION AS FAR AS LEADING AN ENERGY

EFFICIENCY INITIATIVES IT'S THROUGH THE OPPORTUNITIES I'VE LISTED

THEM THERE FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS

44

THAT EVERYBODY CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF INCENTIVES TO SAVE MONEY AND

REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF POWER WE GENERATE.

THAT'S -- SO THAT'S -- I'LL SHOW YOU SOME INFORMATION ON THIS IS

THE CO2 AVOIDED BY OUR ENERGY EFFICIENCY INITIATIVES.

SO THOSE ARE NUMBERS THAT DIDN'T SHOW UP ON THE CHART THAT WOULD

HAVE HAD WE NOT HAD THOSE.

AND YOU KNOW IN THE RANGE OF 600,000 TONS PER YEAR FROM 2002 AND

IT'S OVER A MILLION TONS OF CO2 AVOIDED PER YEAR DUE TO OUR

ENERGY EFFICIENCY.

SO A LITTLE BIT EVERYWHERE MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE OVER TIME IS

KIND OF THE LESSON THERE THIS KIND OF PULLS IT ALL TOGETHER KIND

OF COMING TO THE END OF PULLING ALL TOGETHER WHAT WE HAVE TALKED

ABOUT THIS IS PRESIDENT OBAMA IN JUNE CAME UP WITH A PLAN TO

REGULATE CO2 AND GREENHOUSE GASSES.

AND SO WE WERE STARTING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND WANTED TO SHOW

YOU I GUESS SOME INSIGHTS FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE.

FIRST OF ALL, IT'S HARD TO SEE BUT ON THE LEFT SIDE THE GOAL IS

BASED ON THE 2005 BASELINE.

SO THAT HAPPENED TO BE RIGHT WHEN WE FINISHED OUR BILLION DOLLAR

45

INVESTMENT WE WOULD HAVE MET THE OBJECTIVE.

WE DID MEET THE OBJECTIVE.

WE JUST DID IT REALLY EARLY.

SO IF WE WERE TO PICK -- LET'S JUST TAKE A WORSE CASE SCENARIO

AND THIS IS VERY CONCEPTUAL IF WE HAD TO START FROM OUR LOWEST

POINT AND REDUCE EVEN FURTHER HERE IS WHAT KIND OF THINGS COULD

WE DO AND AGAIN CONCEPTUAL IDEAS THAT THE LITTLE GRAYED AREA ON

THE CHART REPRESENTS IF WE HAD NOT REPOWERED.

SO THAT'S ALREADY DONE.

BUT YOU CAN SEE, IT MADE FOR A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION.

AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE TOOLS THAT OTHER UTILITIES HAVE TO DO.

TO MEET THE INITIATIVE.

AND WE HAVE ALREADY -- THAT'S KIND OF OUR LOW HANGING FRUIT WE

HAVE DONE THAT.

THE NEXT -- THE RED PRISM WE'LL CALL IT IS THE CUSTOMER ENERGY

EFFICIENCY.

YOU SEE IT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT FITS IN WITH

THE REST OF OUR EMISSIONS PROFILE SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE

ALREADY DOING AND WE EXPECT IT TO CONTINUE TO GAIN GROUND.

46

SO WE TAKE THAT OFF.

THE NEXT ONE IS OUR FOSSIL FUEL EFFICIENCY.

ACTUALLY I'VE LISTED ON THE RIGHT SIDE ALL OF THE TOOLS IN OUR

TOOLBOX.

AT THIS POINT CUSTOMER RENEWABLES IS SUCH A VERY -- I SHOWED YOU

THE NUMBERS.

IT'S A VERY SMALL AMOUNT COMPARED TO OUR OVERALL GENERATION

NEEDS.

SO IF I CLICK ON IT YOU WON'T EVEN SEE A DIFFERENCE IT'S UP THERE

BUT YOU CAN'T SEE IT WITH THIS RESOLUTION CUSTOMER RENEWABLES AND

EVEN I PUT ON THERE JUST FOR REFERENCE IF -- WE WANTED TO DO 50

MEGAWATT SOLAR PROJECT AND WE COULDN'T GET PUBLIC SERVICE

COMMISSION TO APPROVE BECAUSE IT'S A HIGHER COST EVEN IF WE WOULD

HAVE DONE THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SMALL IMPACT TO THAT

GOAL SO I JUST CLICKED AND THAT CAME DOWN.

THE NEXT ONE IS OUR WE HAVE BIOMASS AND NUCLEAR WHICH WE DON'T

HAVE ANYTHING IN THE WORKS BUT THOSE ARE TOOLS IN THE TOOLBOX WE

COULD USE BIOMASS IS PROBABLY A FEASIBLE THING AND NUCLEAR IS A

LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT IN THIS DAY AND AGE TO DO WE DON'T HAVE ANY

47

PLANS TO DO ANY NUCLEAR FOR TAMPA ELECTRIC BUT IT'S A TOOL THAT

OTHER UTILITIES HAVE SO I LISTED IT THERE SO YOU KNEW THE BIG

PRISM WHICH IS INTERESTING AND ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT WE TALK

ABOUT OFTEN IN THIS COMMITTEE IS THE ENERGY MANAGEMENT &

SUSTAINABILITY WORKGROUP EFFICIENCY SO WE HAD SOME OPPORTUNITIES

AT THE PLANT TO DO SOMETHING A LOT OF IT INVOLVES CONVERTING OUR

OIL USES AND NATURAL GAS BUT THAT'S THE BLUE PRISM THERE.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING.

WE'VE GOT PERMITS AND WE'RE TRYING TO OPTIMIZE THAT WE'RE NOT

SURE HOW IT WILL COME OUT BUT IT COULD BE THIS BIG I JUST PUT

THAT UP THERE IF WE IMPLEMENT A LOT OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY

INITIATIVES AT THE PLANT IT COULD BE A BIG DEAL.

SO THAT WOULD GET US DOWN TO HERE.

OTHER OPTIONS ARE PLUG-IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES.

THAT ONE IS THE YELLOW PRISM.

AND ASSUMING AN ELECTRIC POWER RESEARCH INSTITUTE MAYBE WE CAN

GET A 3% REDUCTION.

IT COULD BE GREATER OR LESSER DEPENDING ON SUCCESS OF SOME OF THE

INITIATIVES YOU GUYS HAVE.

48

SO THIS IS A MODEST ASSUMPTIONS.

AND IT'S JUST -- IT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL.

ALL OF THESE THINGS START TO ADD UP.

AND I SKIPPED OVER CARBON CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION THAT'S

SOMETHING WE'RE DEMONSTRATING I HAVE A QUICK SLIDE ON THE END TO

TELL YOU ABOUT THAT. BUT THAT ONE IS VERY EXPENSIVE AT THIS

POINT WE'RE WORKING ON MAKING IT AN INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY TO TRY

TO IMPROVE THE CARBON FOOTPRINT SO THAT LEAVES SOME EFFICIENCY

WITH ELECTROTECHNOLOGIES THEY REFER TO BASICALLY INDUSTRIES ARE

USING FOSSIL FUELS AND CONVERTING TO MORE EFFICIENT ELECTRICITY

BASED INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES.

SO THERE'S -- IT'S THE A PRETTY BIG DEAL YOU CAN SEE WE TAKE ALL

OF THIS OFF WE STILL HAVE SOME WORK TO DO BUT THERE'S OTHER

OPPORTUNITIES ON THE RIGHT THAT I LIST THAT ARE -- IF YOU PUT A

LITTLE BIT IN EVERY BUCKET OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES AND THERE MAY

BE A WAY TO GET EVEN FURTHER REDUCTIONS THOSE COME AT A COST

THOSE ARE THE THINGS I WANT TO INTRODUCE THEM TO YOU AS MAYBE

TIME GOES ON IF THERE'S AN INTEREST WE CAN TALK MORE ABOUT THOSE

COSTS WE'LL BE EVALUATING THE COSTS IN THE NEXT PHASE OR NOW AS

49

EPA MOVES FORWARD WITH THE RULEMAKING I WOULD LOVE TO GET YOUR

INPUT ON HOW BEST TO MEET THE NEEDS.

THE LAST BITS OF SLIDES THAT ARE INFORMATIONAL AND TO PROVIDE

KIND OF TIE IN THE WHOLE SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPT.

ONE OF THE PROJECTS WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF IS A RECLAIMED WATER

PROJECT WE'RE TAKING SOME CITY LAKES AND RECLAIMED WATER THAT

WE'RE GOING TO MEET SOME WATER QUALITY STANDARDS AND USE IT TO

OFFSET PUMPING THE WATER OUT OF THE GROUND.

I GUESS FIVE MILLION GALLONS A DAY TO REPLACE ABOUT THREE MILLION

GALLONS A DAY OF WELL WATER WE'RE ALSO USING THE PROJECT WHERE

WE'RE DRILLING TO GET RID OF THE RESIDUAL WE'RE REMOVING FROM THE

RECLAIMED WATER TO MAKE IT USABLE FOR US WE'RE PUMPING THAT INTO

AN UNDERGROUND INJECTION WELL ALSO GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO

STUDY PUMPING CARBON DIOXIDE DOWN THERE.

SO IT LOOKS VERY -- IT'S TECHNICALLY FEASIBLE VERY PLAUSIBLE IF

WE WORK ON THE COSTS THAT MIGHT BE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP

DIVERSE FUEL MIX IN FLORIDA.

SO JUST TO SUMMARIZE, BASED ON OUR MISSION RE-- EMISSION

REDUCTIONS AND AIR QUALITY WE HAVE WE HAVE A SUSTAINABLE AND

50

RELIABLE FUEL MIX FOR POWER GENERATION AND REGION HAS MADE

SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION WE HAVE GREAT AIR QUALITY THERE'S MORE WORK

aHEAD GIVEN THE INITIATIVES AND OUR CURRENT ADMINISTRATION SO

ALTERNATE FUEL VEHICLES ARE AN IMPORTANT PART WE'VE BEEN TALKING

A LOT ABOUT THAT ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND OBVIOUSLY INNOVATIVE

TECHNOLOGY WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE BATTERIES THERE'S A LOT

OF OPPORTUNITIES ALONG THOSE LINES IN OUR INDUSTRY, TOO, TO DO

THINGS BETTER INCREMENTALLY THAT EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.

ANY QUESTIONS?

>>BYRON, I KNOW THIS IS JAMES HALEY VA HAD STARTED A VERY LARGE

PROJECT ARE YOU ALL WORKING WITH THEM ON THAT.

>>BYRON BURROWS: I'M NOT INTIMATELY INVOLVED WITH THAT BUT I

HAVE HEARD -- I HAVE HEARD THAT WE ARE.

WE WORK WITH ALL OF THE CUSTOMERS IN OUR REGION THAT WANT TO DO

THAT.

WE HELP THEM DO THE NET METERING AND THEY GET -- OVERALL IT'S

PROBABLY IN THE MILLION DOLLAR A YEAR RANGE OF BENEFIT TO THE

CUSTOMERS THAT PARTICIPATE IN THOSE.

IT'S SUBSTANTIAL.

51

IT'S A BIG INVESTMENT.

BUT I THINK YOU KNOW PEOPLE -- MORE PEOPLE LIKE JAMES HALEY GROUP

ARE DOING IT BECAUSE THE PAYBACK HAS GOTTEN -- I THINK IT MAY BE

SIX YEARS WITH ALL OF THE INCENTIVES.

IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE STILL.

BUT THE PAYBACK IS IN A REASONABLE RANGE NOW AGAIN WITH ALL OF

THE INCENTIVES THAT WE HAVE.

>>BYRON I SAW THAT A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE REDUCTIONS THAT

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AT LEAST IN THE PLANNING STAGE IS BASED ON

PLUG-IN VEHICLES IS THERE ANY CHANCE YOU'RE LOOKING AT

SUBSIDIZING BY PUTTING IN ADDITIONAL STATIONS AT YOUR EXPENSE OR

SUBSIDIZING ELECTRICITY FOR THOSE.

>>BYRON BURROWS: GOOD QUESTION.

WE DON'T HAVE THE INCENTIVE AT THIS POINT.

BECAUSE IT'S EARLY.

BUT THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN A -- AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US.

SO IF -- YOU KNOW IF WE CAN -- IN ORDER FOR US TO TAKE CREDIT FOR

THAT REDUCTION WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE AN INVESTMENT.

SO I DO PERSONALLY LOOK AT IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO INCENTIVIZE

52

THAT.

AT THIS POINT YOU KNOW WE'RE TRYING TO FOLLOW IT AND NOT GET TOO

FAR aHEAD JUST LIKE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.

SO WE DO HAVE SOME CHARGING STATIONS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR

FACILITIES MUCH LIKE YOU DO.

AND WE'RE -- WE HAVE THEM INTEGRATED IN OUR FLEET.

PEOPLE LIKE ME ARE USING THEM TO TRY TO SPREAD THE WORD BUT UNTIL

WE HAVE SOME REALLY -- SOME SUBSTANTIAL DRIVERS, THAT COULD VERY

WELL HAPPEN.

I'M JUST -- THERE'S NO DRIVER TO TALK ABOUT AT THIS POINT THAT

WOULD GET -- TO GET US ANY LARGE SCALE OPPORTUNITIES.

AND I'M -- I'M GOING TO USE A PUN BUT I'M NOT PLUGGED INTO THAT

PART OF IT AS MUCH AS THE AIR GUY BUT I'LL ASK HIM AND MAKE SURE

I'LL GET -- FIND OUT WHAT WE ARE DOING SO I CAN BRING THAT TO THE

GROUP.

>>I HAVE A QUESTION ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND IF WE REALLY WERE TO

TRY TO REDO YOU SEE OUR EMISSIONS GLOBALLY BY 80%, 40% OF THE

POLLUTION FOR THESE ANALYSIS IF THAT'S A BIG PIECE OF OUR

SOLUTION THE EFFICIENCY AND YOU SAID SOMETHING THAT I JUST HAVE

53

TO ASK YOU ABOUT.

THAT FLORIDA IS A BIG LEADER AND I WANT TO CLARIFY I CAN ONLY

PRESUME YOU MEAN IN PEAK REDUCTION RATHER TAN REAL REDUCTION

BECAUSE FLORIDA IS ACTUALLY NOT A LEADER IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY I

KNOW THAT BECAUSE WE'RE INVOLVED AS INTERVENERS IN THE FLORIDA

EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION ACT IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN.

>>BYRON BURROWS: CLARIFICATION, WHAT I'M BASIC IT ON ARE EDISON

ELECTRIC INSTITUTE RANKINGS AND IT COULD VERY WELL BE BASED ON

PEAK LOAD WHICH IS STILL SUBSTANTIAL.

CO2 REDUCTIONS I MENTIONED WERE REAL BASED ON THE ACTUAL LOAD

THAT WOULD BE CALCULATED ACCORDING TO THOSE STANDARD PROCEDURES

THAT PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION WOULD DICTATE AND WE REPORT THAT

TO -- AS PART OF OUR RETURN ON THAT INVESTMENT THAT WE'RE PUTTING

BACK IN THE FORM OF REBATES.

BUT YEAH, --

>>IN THE FECA PROCEEDING EVERY FIVE YEARS BY FLORIDA LAW THE

MAJOR UTILITIES SET CONSERVATION GOALS IN 2009 THE NATURAL

RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL AND SOUTHERN ALLIANCE FOR CLEAN ENERGY

WE WERE INTERVENERS IN FLORIDA WITH A .25, 17 STATES GET A

54

PERCENT OR PERCENTAGE AND a HALF AND WE MOVED THE NEEDLE TO .35

AND TECO WAS A VERY GOOD ACTOR AND WENT AND IMPLEMENTED YOUR

PROGRAM AND I GUESS THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WHILE

PROGRESS AND FPL GOT THEIR PROGRAMS RESCHEDULED AND ULTIMATELY

THROWN OUT SO THEY ARE SITTING ON 8 YEAR OLD GOALS.

WE'RE AT .25.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY NOT LEADERS IN EFFICIENCY.

AND WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE A COST PLANNING PROCESS THAT TOOK

ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

SO ANYWAY SOMETHING HOPEFULLY WE CAN WORK ON.

>>BYRON BURROWS: INTERESTING.

AND YEAH, I GUESS THAT IT'S ALSO RELEVANT WE HAVE BEEN DOING IT

SINCE THE '80S AND THAT'S MY -- FROM MY PERSPECTIVE AS AN AIR

GUY, YOU KNOW THINKING THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT TRYING TO

REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF POWER PLANTS WE NEED TO BE INCENTIVIZED BY

REBATES AND THAT KIND OF THING THAT'S THE LEADERSHIP ELEMENT I'M

REFERRING TO BUT YEAH THERE MAYBE WAYS TO --

>>THERE ARE A LOT OF WAYS.

THE ELIMINATE THAT TWO YEAR PAYBACK SCREEN WE WOULD LOVE TO WORK

55

ON THAT WITH YOU.

>>BYRON BURROWS: ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: THANK YOU OUR NEXT PRESENTATION IS FROM

THE COUNTY.

THAT'S GOING TO BE THE ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

PRACTICES.

JOSH, WELCOME, SIR.

>>JOSH BELLOTTI: THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER SHARPE AND EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS JOSH BELLOTTI.

I'M MANAGER OF OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE SECTION IN THE REAL

ESTATE AND FACILITIES SERVICES DEPARTMENT HERE IN HILLSBOROUGH

COUNTY.

OUR PARTICULAR DEPARTMENT WE REALLY LOOK AT OUR FACILITIES AS

HAVING -- WE LOOK AT HAVING CRADLE TO GRAVE THE OWNERSHIP AND

MANAGEMENT OF ALL OF OUR FACILITIES IN THE COUNTY AND LOOK AT THE

COUNTY'S FACILITIES AS AN OVERALL PORTFOLIO.

SO THAT BEING SAID WE REALLY TAKE ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND

SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES SERIOUSLY AND HAVE A SOLID PROGRAM IN

56

PLACE THAT WE BELIEVE HELPS KEEP US FOCUSED ON PURSUING THOSE

GOALS OF ACHIEVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY ACROSS

THE COUNTY'S ENTIRE BUILDING PORTFOLIO SO I'M PLEASED TO BE ABLE

TO DISCUSS THAT PLAN AND PROGRAM WITH YOU TODAY.

SO WITHIN OUR PARTICULAR DEPARTMENT'S PLAN, THERE ARE SEVERAL KEY

ASPECTS WHICH I'LL GO INTO IN A LITTLE BIT DETAIL.

AND AGAIN, IT STARTS -- IT ENCOMPASSES THE WHOLE BUILDING

LIFECYCLE KIND OF LIKE THE DEPARTMENT LOOKING AT THE BUILDING

LIFECYCLE THE BUILDING DESIGN CRITERIA FOR NEW BUILDING

CONSTRUCTION AND MAJOR INNOVATION PROJECTS -- MAJOR RENOVATION

PROJECTS CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT AND AUDITING OF OUR EXISTING

FACILITIES.

LEADING TO OUR SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES AND OF

COURSE WE LOOK AT BENCHMARKING TO MEASURE OUR PERFORMANCE AND HOW

WE'RE MEASURING UP.

SO AND WHILE I'M GOING TO TALK MOSTLY ABOUT OUR SPECIFIC PLAN

WITHIN THE REAL ESTATE AND FACILITIES DEPARTMENT, I DON'T WANT TO

LEAVE OUT THE REST OF THE ENTIRE COUNTY THAT HAS A LOT OF GOOD

PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES IN PLACE WITHIN THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS

57

ACROSS THE COUNTY FROM PUBLIC UTILITIES AND FLEET THE OTHER

AGENCIES, AS WELL.

SO AT THE VERY END I'LL KIND OF CLOSE BY WRAPPING UP TALKING

ABOUT THE COUNTY'S OVERALL ENERGY AND SUSTAINABILITY PLAN.

AND THE WAY aHEAD MOVING FORWARD SO FIRST ASPECT OF OUR PROGRAM

INCLUDES A CRITERIA AND REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE USED FOR ALL OF

OUR NEW BUILDING DESIGNS.

WE INCORPORATE LEED STANDARDS AS OUR CRITERIA WE HAD ONE OF OUR

SENIOR ARCHITECTS DAN MEYERS GIVE A PRESENTATION RECENTLY AT

ANOTHER MEETING THAT DETAILED ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE DESIGNED

TO IN TERMS OF MEETING LEED CRITERIA WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENT WE

HAVE DEVELOPED A SET OF BUILDING DESIGN GUIDELINES THAT HELPS US

MEET THOSE GOALS.

INCORPORATE THAT LEED CRITERIA AND THAT'S WHAT WE USE TO HELP

STANDARDIZE ALL OF OUR DESIGN AND RENOVATION AND CONSTRUCTION

PROJECTS THAT'S WHAT OUR CONSULTANTS ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS USE

IN ALL OF THEIR DESIGN PROJECTS.

AND WE ESTABLISHED THOSE GUIDELINES THROUGH INPUTS FROM OUR

ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS, PROJECT MANAGERS, EVEN DOWN TO THE

58

MAINTENANCE STAFF.

AND WE REVIEW THAT AND UPDATE IT ANNUALLY.

NOW ALTHOUGH WE DO DESIGN TO LEED CRITERIA WE DON'T ACTUALLY

PURSUE IT FULL TO LEED CERTIFICATION.

THAT PROCESS IS REALLY COST PROHIBITIVE DETERMINING THAT IT'S NOT

REALLY THE BANG FOR THE BUCK THERE IN PURSUING IT FULLY TO THE

CERTIFICATION.

WE DO, HOWEVER, PURSUE ENERGY STAR CERTIFICATION FOR OUR

FACILITIES AND TO DATE WE HAVE THREE OF OUR BUILDINGS DOWNTOWN

THAT ARE ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED.

AND OF COURSE OUR GOAL GOING FORWARD IS TO CONTINUE TO GET MORE

OF THE COUNTY BUILDINGS CERTIFIED AS ENERGY STAR BUILDINGS.

SO WE DESIGNED EFFICIENT NEW BUILDINGS.

HOWEVER, MOST OF THE COUNTY'S PORTFOLIO IS EXISTING OLDER

FACILITIES.

SO WE HAVE AN ASSESSMENT PROGRAM WHERE WE PERIODICALLY AND

CONTINUALLY ARE INSPECTING, ASSESSING THE CONDITIONS OF ALL OF

OUR EXISTING FACILITIES, MAJOR SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS WITHIN EACH

FACILITY.

59

WE'RE ON A FIVE-YEAR CONDITION INSPECTION CYCLE RIGHT NOW FOR THE

COUNTY'S FACILITIES.

WHICH AMOUNTS TO 1.1 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF ASSESSMENTS PERFORMED

EACH YEAR.

BY OUR GROUP.

NOW THAT PROGRAM OF ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONING CODING WE UTILIZE

AN ASSET MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE TO BRING IN ALL OF THE DATA FROM OUR

ASSESSMENTS TO CONDITION CODING, LIFECYCLE EXPECTATION --

EXPECTANCIES OF MAJOR REPLACEMENT COSTS AND USE THAT TO HELP

IDENTIFY AND PROGRAM OUT EACH YEAR OUR REQUIREMENTS AND PROJECTS

THAT BECOME OUR REPAIR REPLACEMENT AND RENOVATION MAINTENANCE

PROGRAM OTHERWISE KNOWN AS R3M NOW THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND

ASSESSMENT PROCESS WE HAVE INCORPORATED SUSTAINABILITY STANDARDS

AS WELL WE HAVE THE SUSTAINBILITY CHECKLIST THAT WE PERFORM AS

PART OF THE ASSESSMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LEED STANDARDS THE IDEA

IS TO HELP US IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY,

IMPROVEMENTS IN SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS.

WE LOOK AT THINGS LIKE IS ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING BEING USED.

AC SYSTEMS.

60

ENERGY EFFICIENT EQUIPMENT, PLUMBING SYSTEMS, LOW FLOW FIXTURES

IN TOILETS BEING USED.

ALL THOSE THINGS HELP DRIVE OUR PROJECTS.

THE OTHER THING THAT WE DO TO HELP SUPPLEMENT OUR ASSESSMENT

PROGRAM IS WE WORK CLOSELY WITH TECO ON PERFORMING ENERGY AUDITS

AT OUR FACILITIES SO WE HAVE THEM ON CONTINUOUS CYCLE PERFORMING

ENERGY AUDITS AT ALL OF THE COUNTY FACILITIES AS WELL AGAIN

HELPING US TO IDENTIFY THOSE INITIATIVES AND PROJECTS THAT WE CAN

TAKE TO HELP IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY.

SO FOR EXAMPLE LAST YEAR WE PERFORMED AUDITS AT ENERGY AUDITS AT

THE COUNTY LIBRARIES AND FIRE STATIONS THIS YEAR WE'RE SET UP TO

DO THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE CENTERS.

SO IT'S AGAIN A CONTINUING PROCESS OF THE ASSESSMENTS AND THE

ENERGY AUDITS THAT HELPS US ALWAYS BE ON THE LOOKOUT AND

ESTABLISH INITIATIVES THAT WE CAN PURSUE FOR ENERGY REDUCTION AND

SUSTAINABILITY.

SO THE QUESTION WHAT DO WE GET OUT OF ALL OF THIS ASSESSMENT IS

WE GET OUR SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS THAT HELP US REDUCE ENERGY

COSTS.

61

SOME OF THE MAJOR ONES YOU'LL SEE I MENTIONED THE ASSESSMENTS

DRIVE THE REPAIR AND RENOVATION PROGRAM.

BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT SUSTAINABILITY COMPONENT AS PART OF THE

ASSESSMENTS TO HELP DRIVE THROUGH OUR PROJECTS THIS

SUSTAINABILITY HE WAS AND ENERGY REDUCTION EFFORTS SO ONE OF THE

BIG ONES WE ALWAYS SEE IS LIGHTING RETROFITS IT'S BEEN ACROSS

MANY OF THE COUNTY'S BUILDINGS NEARLY ALL OF THEM WITH LIGHTING

RETROFITS UPGRADING OLDER FLUORESCENT LIGHTING IN OFFICES TO IN

YOUR MORE EFFICIENT ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING THERE'S STILL OF

COURSE MORE WORK TO DO.

THAT'S ONGOING.

AN EXAMPLE IS GOING LOOKING AT INDUCTION LIGHTING AND WAREHOUSE

FACILITIES SUCH AS THE PROJECT THAT WE HAVE COMING UP THIS YEAR

AT THE SWEET CENTRAL WAREHOUSE WHERE WE HAVE PROJECTED AN ENERGY

COST REDUCTION OF $16,000 A YEAR IN TERMS OF PAYBACK SO FOR ALL

OF THESE SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS WE DO LOOK AT RETURN ON

INVESTMENT.

TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING BANG FOR THE BUCK OUT OF ENERGY

EFFORTS SOME OTHER EXAMPLES INCLUDE HVAC PROJECTS REPLACING

62

ORDERING HVAC EQUIPMENT LIFECYCLE REPLACEMENT GOING TO MORE

EFFICIENT EQUIPMENT BUT NOT ONLY THAT LOOKING AT DESIGN SYSTEMS

GOING TO MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT DESIGNS SUCH AS CHILLED WATER

SYSTEMS AT SOME OF OUR LARGER FACILITIES THE EPC BUILDING IN

SABLE PARK IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF A PROJECT WE JUST FINISHED WHERE

WE TOOK THE EXISTING HVAC SYSTEM AND THE INDIVIDUAL SPLIT SYSTEMS

AND CONDENSER UNIT ON THE ROOF OF THE BUILDING CONVERTED IT TO A

CHILLED WATER SYSTEM ON A NEW CHILLER AND WE'RE LOOKING IN THE

FUTURE AT OTHER PROJECTS TOO ONE UPCOMING IS THE UNIVERSITY

COMMUNITY AREA CENTER THAT'S ONE WHERE THE ASSESSMENT PROGRAM

IDENTIFIED LIFECYCLE REPLACEMENT FOR THE HVAC SYSTEM WE LOOKED AT

IT FROM ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDPOINT CHILLED WATER MAKES MORE

SENSE WE LOOK AT RETURN ON INVESTMENT AND IT WAS GOOD SO THAT'S

WHAT WE'RE PURSUING FOR THAT ONE.

ANOTHER GOOD EXAMPLE IS THE CENTRAL ENERGY PLANT THAT WE HAVE

DOWNTOWN THAT SUPPLIES CHILLED WATER TO ALL OF THE DOWNTOWN

FACILITIES.

WE'RE ACTUALLY CURRENTLY STILL UNDER A PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT --

PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT WITH TRAIN THAT WAS ORIGINATED EIGHT YEARS

63

AGO AS PART OF THAT CHILLER PLANT EXPANSION IT EXPANDED THE CAPS

OF THE PLANT AND ADDED ICE STORAGE AND SUPPLIED CHILLED --

EXPANDED CHILLED WATER SUPPLIED TO ALL OF THE COUNTY FACILITIES

IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA PART OF THAT AGREEMENT INCLUDED A GUARANTEED

ENERGY SAVINGS OF 600,000 DOLLARS PER YEAR OVER A 15 YEAR PERIOD

WE'RE EIGHT YEARS INTO IT RIGHT NOW AND WE HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED

IN ACTUAL REDUCTION OF OVER A MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR SO IT'S

WORKED OUT TO BE A PRETTY GOOD RETURN ON THAT ONE AND SOME OTHER

INITIATIVES THAT WE ARE UNDER WAY AND ONGOING ARE THE PROGRAM WE

PARTICIPATE WITH TECO CALLED INTERNOC AT THE CHILLER PLANT

WHEREBY THEY CAN DURING HIGH PEAK DEMAND TIMES ASK US TO SHUT

DOWN THE CHILLER PLANT AND WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT AND STILL

PROVIDE CHILLED WATER AND AC SERVICE TO DOWNTOWN FACILITIES

BECAUSE OF THE ICE STORAGE THAT WE HAVE SO WE CAN PROVIDE THAT BY

BURNING ICE AND IT'S NOT JUST US IN REAL ESTATE EITHER IT'S OTHER

DEPARTMENTS AROUND THE COUNTY THE PUBLIC UTILITIES DEPARTMENT FOR

EXAMPLE IS ON TECO STAND BY GENERATOR PROGRAM WHEREBY THEY CAN

FOR DEMAND RESPONSE FROM THE THREE UTILITY PLANTS THAT THEY

PARTICIPATE IN GENERATE REVENUE BACK TO THE COUNTY BETWEEN 75

64

AND $100,000 PER YEAR SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE TWO THINGS IT CAN

BE PRETTY BENEFICIAL.

SO ALL OF THAT IS GREAT.

WE DESIGN ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDINGS.

CONTINUALLY ASSESS OUR BUILDINGS AND DO ENERGY PROJECTS BUT HOW

DO WE ACTUALLY MEASURE TO SEE WHAT A GREAT JOB WE'RE DOING WE DO

THAT THROUGH BENCHMARKING AND THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US TO

PRETTY MUCH SEE HOW WE STACK UP TO IN INDUSTRY STANDARD IN OUR

PERFORMANCE AND THE MAINTENANCE WORLD WE USE A WIDELY RECOGNIZED

INDUSTRY STANDARD CALLED BOMA BUILDING OWNERS AND MANAGERS

ASSOCIATION FOR COMPARISON OF OUR MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT

SERVICES OPERATIONAL COSTS ON A DOLLAR PER SQUARE FOOT PER BASIS

TO THEIR ESTABLISHED STANDARD.

SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND PERFORMANCE, WHAT

WE HAVE FOUND IS THAT ACTUAL ENERGY USAGE RATHER THAN DOLLARS IS

THE BEST TOOL FOR BENCHMARKING AS OPPOSED TO JUST LOOKING AT A

PURELY DOLLARS STANDPOINT DUE TO THE VARIABLES ASSOCIATED WITH

RATE CHANGES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO WE HAVE SELECTED ENERGY STAR AS OUR STANDARD TO BENCHMARK

65

AGAINST ON OUR ACTUAL ENERGY USAGE.

WE HAVE FOUND THAT THEY HAVE GOT THE BEST DATABASE FOR

COMPARISON.

IT'S NATIONWIDE.

IT'S WIDELY RECOGNIZED AND RESPECTED.

AND SO WE USE THEM FOR BENCHMARKING.

AND THEIR UNIT OF MEASUREMENT IS CALLED THE ENERGY USE INTENSITY

OR EUI AND -- EUI THAT EQUALS A THOUSAND BTUS PER SQUARE FOOT I

CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT IN JUST A MOMENT BUT MOVING

ON TO THE LAST COMPONENT OF OUR ENERGY MANAGEMENT SUSTAINABILITY

PROGRAM IS THE ENERGY TEAMS.

THE ENERGY TEAMS WE TALK ABOUT BUILDING DESIGN, BUILDING

ASSESSMENT RENOVATIONS ALL OF THE BUILDING ASSISTANCE FOR

EFFICIENCY.

THE OTHER PIECE OF IT IS ACTUAL USER BEHAVIORS THAT CAN BE A BIG

EFFECT ON OVERALL ENERGY USE.

SO OUR ENERGY MANAGER, RANDY KLINDWORTH HAS ESTABLISHED ENERGY

TEAMS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY'S DEPARTMENTS ALL OF THE VARIOUS

DEPARTMENTS USER AGENCIES AND EVEN CONSTITUTIONALS THEY WORK

66

CLOSELY WITH TO BASICALLY HELP PROMOTE OUT TO THE REST OF THE

COUNTY STAFF ENERGY AWARENESS AND POSITIVE EMPLOYEE BEHAVIORS WE

WANT TO ENCOURAGE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP PROMOTING AND IMPROVE ENERGY

EFFICIENCY.

THINGS LIKE TURNING OFF COMPUTERS AT NIGHT AND THE SAME SORT OF

THINGS THAT HELP REDUCE YOUR ELECTRIC BILL AT YOUR HOUSE, WHEN

YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE COUNTY'S OVERALL PORTFOLIO FACILITIES,

FIVE AND A HALF MILLION SQUARE FEET AND THE NUMBER OF COUNTY

EMPLOYEES YOU HAVE AND YOU MULTIPLY THAT IT REALLY MAKES A BIG

DIFFERENCE IN TERMS OF THE OVERALL ENERGY USAGE.

SO BACK TO ENERGY USE INTENSITY JUST TO EXPLAIN LIKE I SAID IT'S

MEASURED IN A THOUSAND BTUS PER SQUARE FEET JUST BASICALLY TAKES

THE OVERALL ENERGY USE OF A -- OF A FACILITY FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR

MEASURED IN A THOUSAND BTUS DIVIDED BY THE BUILDINGS TOTAL SQUARE

FOOTAGE COMES UP WITH YOUR EUI NUMBER AND YOU COMPARE THIS TO

ENERGY STAR'S DATABASE OF FACILITIES AND STANDARDS, NOW IT DOES

VARY BY BUILDING TYPE WHICH YOU WOULD EXPECT.

YOU SEE FACILITIES SUCH AS A HOSPITAL OR SPECIAL USE BUILDINGS.

YOU WOULD EXPECT TO USE MORE ENERGY ON A PER SQUARE FOOT BASIS

67

THAN SAY AN OFFICE BUILDING.

WHICH REALLY IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT MOSTLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING

ABOUT THE COUNTY FACILITIES MORE IN OFFICE TYPE SETTINGS.

AS AN EXAMPLE THIS IS A CAPTURE OF THE DOWNTOWN FACILITIES.

THE DOWNTOWN COUNTY FACILITIES AND THEIR PERFORMANCE MEASURED IN

EUI OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS SO YOU CAN SEE IF YOU CHECK OUT

THE NUMBERS, WE'RE ACTUALLY RIGHT AT OR BELOW SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW

IN SOME CASES THE ENERGY STAR STANDARD WHICH IS WHY WE'VE BEEN

ABLE TO CERTIFY THREE OF OUR DOWNTOWN BUILDINGS NOW AS ENERGY

STAR BUILDINGS.

THAT LEADS INTO THIS IS ACTUALLY A SCREEN CAPTURE OF THE EPA'S

PORTFOLIO MANAGER WHICH IS USED TO -- WE UPLOAD OUR FACILITY

ENERGY USE DATA INTO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER.

ENERGY STAR APPLIES ITS FORMULAS AND RANKS YOU BASICALLY GIVES

YOU A SCORE AND BASED ON THAT SCORE, YOU'RE ABLE TO QUALIFY FOR

APPLICATION TO BECOME ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED.

FOR YOUR FACILITY.

SO WE HAVE A GOAL RIGHT NOW OF GETTING ALL OF OUR COUNTY

BUILDINGS UPLOADED INTO PORTFOLIO MANAGER WITH BASELINE DATA TO

68

BE ABLE TO CONTINUALLY MONITOR AND BENCHMARK AGAINST THAT AS WELL

AS CONTINUE PURSUIT OF MORE ENERGY STAR CERTIFICATIONS TO DATE

RANDY HAS BEEN WORKING REAL HARD.

WE'VE GOT ALL OF THE LIBRARIES, FIRE STATIONS AND SOME OF OUR

OTHER COUNTY BUILDINGS UPLOADED INTO PORTFOLIO MANAGER NOW AND

LIKE I SAID IT'S A CONTINUAL PROCESS WE'RE GETTING THE REST OF

OUR FACILITIES UPLOADED IN HERE.

THIS IS INTENDED TO GIVE YOU NO OPPORTUNITY TO READ THIS DATA AT

ALL.

IT IS BASICALLY A TRACK OF OUR ELECTRIC USAGE BY FACILITY.

AND RANDY IS OUR ENERGY MANAGER.

BUT WE ALSO REFER TO HIM AS OUR MASTER OF SPREADSHEETS BECAUSE HE

PULLS ALL OF THIS DATA IN FROM THE COUNTY'S UTILITY PAYMENT

PROGRAM.

THIS IS A -- BASICALLY JUST A DRAWUP OF THE LIBRARY HE'S ABLE TO

PULL THIS OVER THE COURSE OF TIME WITH BASELINE DATA AND MEASURE

CONVERTING IT HERE INTO THE UNITS -- THOUSAND BTUS PER SQUARE

FOOT TO BE ABLE TO BENCHMARK AGAINST THE ENERGY STAR RANKINGS.

AND THIS DATA IS VERY USEFUL IN TERMS OF THE ENERGY TEAMS, TOO

69

WHEN YOU'RE TABLE TO LOOK AT A GROUP LIKE THIS AT THE LIBRARIES

AND MEET WITH THAT ENERGY TEAM AND BE ABLE TO SHOW THEM THEIR

PERFORMANCE AND WHAT THE REAL RESULTS OF THEIR INITIATIVES FOR

ENERGY REDUCTION. SO OKAY.

THAT'S BASICALLY OUR PROGRAM IN REAL ESTATE FACILITY SERVICES

LIKE I SAID I WANTED TO KIND OF FINISH BY TALKING OVERALL ABOUT

THE COUNTY'S ENERGY AND SUSTAINABILITY PLAN.

AND MENTION THE SUSTAINABILITY STUDY THAT WAS DONE SEVERAL YEARS

AGO.

BY A CONSULTANT THAT WAS BROUGHT IN AND WORKED WITH EPC AND WITH

A LOT OF THE COUNTY'S AGENCIES BASICALLY STUDIED THE COUNTY CAME

UP WITH A REPORT THAT MADE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GOING FORWARD

WITH ENERGY REDUCTION AND SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS.

AND FOR ME COMING AFTER THE FACT AND REVIEWING THE REPORT, ONE

THING I THOUGHT AS A POSITIVE WAS THAT A LOT OF THE

RECOMMENDATIONS MADE IN THE REPORT REALLY THE LINED UP WITH A LOT

OF THE INITIATIVES THAT THE COUNTY HAS IN PLACE ALREADY AS PART

OF IT'S ENERGY MANAGEMENT SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMS NOT JUST WITHIN

OUR DEPARTMENT BUT WITHIN OTHERS, AS WELL.

70

SO THAT'S A POSITIVE SIGN FOR WHERE THE COUNTY IS AT NOW AND

MOVING FORWARD.

SO SPECIFICALLY IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT A CULL OF THE EXAMPLES

SETTING GOALS FOR -- COUPLE OF EXAMPLES SETTING GOALS FOR ENERGY

REDUCTION THROUGH THE FACILITY THROUGH OUR PLAN AND PROGRAM THAT

WE HAVE IN PLACE NOW, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE SINCE THE YEAR

2000 16% IN ENERGY REDUCTION IN COST AVOIDANCE AS A RESULT OF

THAT.

AND THEN GOING FORWARD, OUR GOALS OF BENCHMARKING AGAINST THE

ENERGY STAR INDUSTRY STANDARD, BRINGING IN MORE OF OUR FACILITIES

INTO THE ENERGY STAR CERTIFICATION HELPS TAKE US TO CONTINUE TO

TAKE US TOWARDS THAT GOAL AND IT'S AGAIN IT'S NOT JUST US IN

FACILITIES YOU LOOK AT OTHER DEPARTMENTS AROUND THE COUNTY TOO

PUBLIC UTILITIES FOR EXAMPLE HAS CONTINUED TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC

ON WASTE REDUCTION AND EXPAND RECLAIMED WATER REUSE.

GOING FORWARD THEY'VE GOT PLANS TO IMPLEMENT SINGLE STREAM

RECYCLING.

AND THEY CAN GO OVER HE OBVIOUSLY THE DETAILS OF THOSE THINGS.

BUT ANOTHER EXAMPLE FLEET HAS INITIATIVES UNDER WAY HISTORICAL

71

PURSUIT OF FUEL EFFICIENT VEHICLES, SETTING ENGINE STANDARDS FOR

PURCHASE OF NEW VEHICLES IN THE FUTURE.

AS WELL AS FOR FUEL ECONOMY LOOKING AT ALTERNATIVE FUELS SUCH AS

CNG.

SO I THINK WE REALLY DO HAVE GOOD SYNERGY ACROSS ALL OF THE

VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE COUNTY AND IT SEEMS LIKE WE DO

HAVE SOME GOOD PROGRAMS AND PLANS IN PLACE TO HELP CONTINUE

MOVING FORWARD IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND

SUSTAINABILITY.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL WRAP IT UP AND SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR

YOUR TIME.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: VERY THOROUGH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>>RICK GARRITY: THAT WAS JUST TERRIFIC.

AND AS YOU MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT BACK AGO WE HAD THE ENERGY

MANAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY PLAN THAT WE PRESENTED TO THE EPC

BOARD AND THEY ASKED US TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY AND BASICALLY

COME BACK AT SOME POINT AND GIVE A REPORT ON WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.

REALLY YOU HAVE DONE THAT.

72

AND WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO COME TO THE EPC BOARD MAYBE THIS OR

CONCISE VERSION OF THIS KIND OF REPORT BACK ON ALL OF THESE GREAT

ACTIVITIES AND KIND OF WOULD CLOSE THE LOOP ON THAT PLAN.

>>JOSH BELLOTTI: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.

>>RICK GARRITY: THAT WOULD BE JUST FANTASTIC THANK YOU.

>>JOSH I HAD ONE QUICK QUESTION I THINK ENERGY STAR IS A GREAT

WAY TO GO ON YOUR BUILDINGS AND I'M THINKING OF THE PLANT CITY

COURTHOUSE AND THE NEW TAX COLLECTORS ARE BUILDING THAT WILL BE

BUILT WOULD THOSE BE CLOSELY QUALIFIED FOR ENERGY STAR SINCE WE

BUILT THEM LEED CERTIFIED NOW WOULD THEY BE LIKELY TO QUALIFY FOR

ENERGY STAR.

>>JOSH BELLOTTI: WELL WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE USE DATA I KNOW WE

PROBABLY JUST HAVE ESTABLISHED A BASELINE NOW FOR THE PLANT CITY

COURTHOUSE SO THAT'S PART OF IT.

IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO GET ENOUGH DATA TO BE ABLE TO

CERTIFY.

WE HAVE TO ALSO LOOK AT THE USE OF THE BUILDING, TOO.

I KNOW SOMETIMES WITH THE COURTHOUSES IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT JUST IN

TERMS OF MORE OF THE USER I GUESS BEHAVIORS.

73

SO -- BUT WE'LL DEFINITELY BE LOOKING AT THOSE.

>>I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

ARE YOU TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITIES WHERE YOU'RE BUILDING

NEW OR RETROFITTING TO PUT IN PLACE SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO

SUPPORT ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE PARKING SINCE THE

COST OF IMPLEMENTATION AND RETROFITTING IS SO HIGH?

>>JOSH BELLOTTI: YES.

AS A MATTER OF FACT PLANT CITY COURTHOUSE IS ONE OF THE IN YOUR

FACILITIES WE BUILT IS ONE OF THE LOCATIONS THAT WE DO HAVE -- WE

DO HAVE AN ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING STATION SO YEAH WE ARE LOOKING

AT THOSE THINGS.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: EXCELLENT THANK YOU VERY MUCH GREAT

REPORT.

WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE WITH ANNOUNCEMENTS.

>>HI ONCE AGAIN I'M ALICE PRICE I'M A NEW PROJECT DIRECTOR AT THE

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AVIATION AUTHORITY THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME

JOIN THE GROUP TODAY.

WE JUST WANT TO MAKE A QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT THE AIRPORT 2002 MONTHS

AGO INITIATED A SUSTAINABILITY MASTER PLAN THAT WE'RE VERY

74

EXCITED ABOUT I'M SURE YOU'RE ALSO AWARE THAT WE ALSO HAVE

RECENTLY OR ARE JUST ABOUT TO FINALIZE THE 20 YEAR MASTER PLAN

FOR CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT SO WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING A LOT AT THE

AIRPORT AND ONE COMMITMENT THAT YOU HAVE FROM THE AIRPORT IS NOT

ONLY DO WE WANT TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS THAT ARE ECONOMICALLY

FEASIBLE BUT WE ALSO WANT THEM TO BE ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE

SO WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS IS US

CONDUCTING A SUSTAINABILITY MASTER PLAN SO WE CAN HELP INTEGRATE

SUSTAINABILITY INTO OUR DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS AS THEY ROLL OUT

OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS.

WE FOCUS ON OUR TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE AS ANYBODY WHO IS FAMILIAR

WITH SUSTAINABILITY WOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH, THE SOCIAL, THE

ECONOMIC AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE WORK THAT WE DO.

WE HAVE RECENTLY CONDUCTED SOME VISIONING EXERCISES WITH THE

PUBLIC, WITH OUR TENANTS AND INTERNAL AND WHAT WAS SO INTERESTING

ABOUT THAT IS EACH OF THOSE DIFFERENT GROUPS BROUGHT TO THE TABLE

ALL THREE ELEMENTS OF THAT TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE SO THAT TELLS US

THAT WE NEED TO FOCUS NOT JUST ON ONE BUT ALL THREE.

SO KEEP US IN MIND.

75

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VISIT OUR WEB SITE WE HAVE SOME

SUSTAINABILITY LINKS OFF OF THE COVER.

YOU CAN TRACK.

THERE'S A LOT OF PROJECT INFORMATION UP THERE AS WE CONTINUE TO

DEVELOP OUR GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND OUR PRIORITIES, OUR PRIORITIES

COME FIRST.

THEY ARE THE UMBRELLAS.

WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOUR PIN UT YOU CAN COMMENT ON THE WEB SITE

OR CONTACT ME DIRECTLY ON THE COVER PAGE.

THANK YOU.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: ANY QUESTIONS?

THANK YOU.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE -- I DON'T SEE MR. COMPTON.

BUT NATIONAL PLUG-IN DAY.

>>BRITTON DO YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT.

>>I DON'T WANT TO STEAL YOUR THUNDER I'M BRITTON CLEVELAND I WORK

WITH THE CR CLUB I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF PHIL COMPTON WE'RE

PLANNING NATIONAL PLUG-IN DAY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COALITION

AT GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY THAT'S GOING TO BE ON SEPTEMBER 28TH.

76

IT'S A SATURDAY.

AND WHAT WE'RE PLANNING IS AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE SHOWCASE AND RIDE

AND DRIVES PROVIDED BY DANIEL CHEVROLET.

WE'RE ALSO DOING A GREEN EXPO.

SO WE'RE INVITING BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO JOIN US TO

DISPLAY SOME OF THEIR GREEN AND SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES,

ESPECIALLY AS IT CONNECTS TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES SO I THINK HILDA

IS ALSO JOINING US.

SO THANK YOU.

THAT'S GOING TO BE LOCATED AT THE NEW TEMPLE TERRACE MAIN STREET

WHICH IS AT THE CORNER OF BUSH BOULEVARD AND NORTH 56TH STREET.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FLYER READY TO GO WHICH WILL PROBABLY BE

GOING OUT FROM THE PATEL OR PLANT CITY.

SO OKAY.

THANK YOU.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: WONDERFUL.

MR. WRITING.

>>REAL QUICKLY, -- MR. WRIGHT.

>>I FELT I GAVE DR. GARRITY'S QUESTION SHORT SHRIFT BUT A QUICK

77

ANSWER FOR THOSE WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY GETTING

AHEAD OR MAYBE NOT BEING QUITE READY FOR PRIME TIME IS THE LEASE

PACKAGES THAT THEY HAVE ON THE LEAFS AND THE CHEF OWE VOLTS ARE

-- CHEVY VOLTS ARE PRETTY AGGRESSIVE IN TERMS OF GETTING FOLKS TO

MARKET THAT MAY BE A WAY TO GO WHERE YOU'RE NOT IN FOR THE TOTAL

INVESTMENT FOR VEHICLE I POLL FOR -- APOLOGIZE FOR GIVING THE

ANSWER SHORT SHRIFT DR. GARRITY.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: THANK YOU VERY MUCH VERY HELPFUL ANYONE

ELSE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER.

YES, MA'AM.

>>THANK YOU, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU COMMISSIONER SHARPE FOR THE

OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN AND SPEAK WITH YOU AND I'LL BE VERY BRIEF.

I WANTED TO SHARE MY THANKS WITH EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM.

WE MET 100% OF OUR GOALS SET FORTH BY THE DOE FOR OUR DEPLOYMENT

OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE IN A TIME WHERE YOU KNOW

STEWARDSHIP OF OUR TAX MONEY IS OF SOME IMPORTANCE WE ARE

THRILLED TO DO THAT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE LEARNED VERY QUICKLY AS PART OF

THIS PROGRAM AND WITH A LOT OF THE FEEDBACK IN THIS ROOM IS THAT

78

OBVIOUSLY WE CAN'T FOR THE DRIVERS SAKE HAVE $3 CHARGING EVENTS

BUT HAVING A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODEL IS CRITICAL.

SO WE HAVE LEARNED AND NEW PRODUCT WILL INCORPORATE SPONSORSHIP

OPPORTUNITIES TO ALLOW US TO HAVE A COMPLETELY SUSTAINABLE

INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THESE ELECTRIC VEHICLES WHILE AT THE SAME TIME

PROVIDING AND AVAILABILITY TO EVERYONE AT EVERY PRICE LEVEL.

SO AGAIN I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU AND TO LET YOU KNOW THAT

CHARGE POINT AMERICA WAS A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS THANKS TO ALL OF

THE WORK HERE.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: MARGARET.

>>MARGARET RUSH: I'M GOOD.

>>COMMISSIONER SHARPE: WE ARE ADJOURNED.
