SUBJECT: Consider a Report on the Status of Solar Photovoltaic Conversions
and Other Energy Saving Installations and Programs in Moorpark,
Ventura County and Los Angeles County
BACKGROUND
With emphasis coming from the state and federal government on reduction of
greenhouse gases and reducing our carbon footprint, public agencies and private
companies are looking at a variety of installations and programs. This report is intended
to provide the Council with a broad overview of what measures and programs are being
utilized in Moorpark, other Ventura County cities and other cities within the greater
metropolitan area of Los Angeles.
DISCUSSION
State Building Code: The state of California in July 2008, and the City of Moorpark
shortly thereafter by reference, adopted Green Building Standards which will be used on
a voluntary basis until 2010. While we do not know of the specific requirements of the
Green Building Ordinance as it is not scheduled to be published until July 2009, we
know that it will not just be tailored to reduce greenhouse gases, but to be more broad)
geared to increased energy efficiencies, the use of environmentally friendly products
that are not only renewable, but that do not require large amounts of non-renewable
energy to produce, i.e. their production has a low environmental impact. If all goes as
anticipated, the Green Building Ordinance will be mandated by the state in the next
building code update in 2010. Moorpark would update its building ode after the state's
g
adoption. It is anticipated that Moorpark's code adoption would occur some time in July
2010. According to the "Build It Green" advocacy group, "only residential [properties]
'�I

will have a short list of mandatory requirements at that time. The commercial section
consists of a longer list of measures that are voluntary and are not slated to be
mandatory. The code is meant to set the minimum [required] and does not preempt
local governments to go above and beyond..."
Solar Vo,,ltai_C Inversions in Moorpark: There have been thirty-five (35) single family
Y
residences which have converted to solar voltaic systems between January 2006 and
January 2009. This number represents a very small fraction of the total number of
single family homes in Moorpark. Four businesses were converted to solar voltaic
during this same two year period. These businesses are Kohl's, Bagwell Construction,
Staples, and Kish Rigging. Two of these businesses are commercial retail
establishments and two are found in the industrial sector.
Moorpark General Plan Update: Over the last year, City staff has been in the process
of updating the City's General Plan. As part of this update, a revision to the OSCAR
(Open Space, Recreation and Conservation) Element has been included. In the
OSCAR Element, staff has included a new set of goals, policies and implementation
measures for Council consideration. These components would be used to guide City
staff in the City's efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, reduce the City's carbon footprint,
and increase energy conservation. It is anticipated that the draft OSCAR Element will
be presented to the Council's Community and Economic Development Committee at its
September 2009 regular meeting. As part of the consideration of the OSCAR Element
City staff will have calculated the baseline year (1990) for greenhouse gases and will
provide the Committee with a "reduction guide" showing what the greenhouse gas
savings could be if certain measures are implemented.
Solar Energy Projects i Ventura County Cities: Many Ventura County municipalities
have previously implemented, have considered, or plan to implement, solar energy and
other emerging energy technologies to reduce their municipal energy consumption,
promote energy conservation and reduce greenhouse gases. For example, a number
of Ventura County Fire Stations have solar systems in place that reduce their use of
fossil fuels on a daily basis by up to twenty-five percent.
The City of Oxnard, as a component of its new water treatment facility, incorporates
`green' standards such as:
. Using solar panels to generate power thereby improving air quality and reducing
the consumption of fossil fuels, while providing a ten-year payback on the
investment.
. Using materials with bona fide recycled content.
• Recycling or salvaging at least fifty-percent of construction and demolition waste.
. Reducing the burden on the City's water supply by using thirty-percent less water
for on-site water uses.

The City of Thousand Oaks saved $91,000 in the first half of 2008 at its wastewater
treatment plant through the implementation of solar facilities and energy cogeneration
and is currently considering plans to add solar panels and other energy conservation
technologies at the Civic Arts Plaza and the City's main library.
While previously available incentives helped fund the addition of solar facilities in
Thousand Oaks and Ventura, this flow of money has slowed intentionally. The goal of
the ongoing California Solar Initiative program has been to reduce the costs of solar
power in the future. Accordingly, the program initially provided monetary incentives to
reduce installation costs. The market for solar systems is expected to grow, but this
initial seed and startup money is no longer available. Previously, Ventura funded a 650-
panel solar array at the City's maintenance yard using initiative funds. With these
monies now unavailable, Ventura and other municipalities throughout the state have
delayed purchasing new systems (again, especially given their own current budget and
recessionary concerns).
Some Other ,Pr_ oposals: The City of Los Angeles is currently embroiled in a
controversial solar energy proposal, Measure B, a ballot measure found on the March 3
Los Angeles City ballot. (As of 5:00 p.m., on March 4, 2009, the election results were
too close to call, but the measure was losing with only absentee and provisional ballots
outstanding). The measure was developed by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa
and the City's Department of Water and Power. The goal of Measure B is to add 400
megawatts of solar panels on city properties throughout Los Angeles by 2014 with
twenty-percent of the city's electricity needs provided through solar energy by 2025.
There is some controversy regarding the cost estimates for implementation of the plan.
Current estimates are at least $1.5 billion and as much as $4 billion, all of which would
be paid by DWP ratepayers
Separately, Southern California Edison has been working with owners of large industrial
buildings to install solar voltaic panels in an effort to reduce electrical demand. The idea
is to have solar voltaic panels installed on large industrial buildings throughout the SCE
service area in order to supplement electricity production. No installations are planned
within the City of Moorpark.
According to an article from Priority Focus, October, 2008, "the average U.S. household
emits 42 metric tons of CO2 annually according to Cool California..." To lessen this
impact, the City of Davis launched a "low carbon diet" program between October and
November of last year as part of a pilot program to encourage residents to increase
energy efficiency, reduce waste and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Where Do We Go From Here?: The City of Moorpark General Plan Update will have
new goals and policies for energy conservation, greenhouse gases and reduction of the
City's carbon footprint. City Council's consideration and ultimately the adoption of these
goals, policies and implementation measures will be the "guide" for City staff to follow.
The current energy conservation measures that the City is employing are certainly
appropriate and should continue. However, any future concentrated efforts should be

part of an overall plan for the City and include not only City-owned facilities, but address
residential, commercial and industrial areas as well.
It may also be appropriate to reexamine the City's Transportation System Management
(TSM) Fund Program which was adopted in March 3, 2004. At that time, the TSM
program contained six general categories:
• Bicycle Facilities
• Trails
• Transit
• Alternative Fuel Vehicles
• Building Technology
• Administrative
Various funding program priorities were established for each of these categories. Some
of the programs have been accomplished, such as the adoption of a Bikeways Plan and
related Administration. With greater focus on "green technology", it may be appropriate
to rethink the TSM program categories, expanding or contracting the programs under
each category.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Direct Staff as deemed appropriate.

DATE: February 5, 2004 ACC Meeting of 03/03/04)
SUBJECT: Consider Transportation System Management (TSM) Fund
Program
BACKGROUND
On February 4, 2 0 0 4, the Budget and Finance Committee (Mayor
Hunter and Councilmember Harper) considered staff
recommendations on funding program priorities for the City of
Moorpark' s designated Transportation System Management (TSM)
Fund (2001) , established consistent with the requirements of
Government Code Section 66006. The report presented to the
Committee is attached. The suggested .programs have been divided
into six general categories:
Bicycle Facilities
Trails
Transit
Alternate Fuel Vehicles (AFV)
Building Technolo y

BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE
AGENDA
REPORT
TO: Budget and Finance Committee
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Director
By: Laura Stringer, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: January 16, 2004 (B&FC Meeting of 02/04/04)
SUBJECT: Consider Transportation System Management (TSM) Fund
Programs
BACKGROUND
Development projects within the City of Moorpark are subject to
assessment for air quality impacts. If a proposed project
exceeds certain air quality thresholds, mitigation of air
quality impacts is required. Some projects are required to
provide project specific mitigation measures to directly
mitigate air quality impacts resulting from the development. A
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program is an
institutional framework for approaches that reduce and manage
the demand for transportation projects and improve the
operational characteristics of the transportation system. One
of the goals of a TDM is reduction in transportation related air
pollution.
An off-site TDM Fund is identified in the Ventura County Air
.Quality Guidelines as a mobile source emission reduction fund
established to specifically reduce emissions from transportation
sources that may be used as a mitigation measure by proponents
of projects that exceed the Reactive Organic Compounds (ROC) and
Nitrogen Oxide (NOk) thresholds set by the Federal, State and
local air quality regulations. The City of Moorpark' s
designated TDM Fund is the Transportation System Management
(TSM) Fund (2001) , established consistent with the requirements
of Government Code Section 66006. Commercial, industrial,
institutional and residential projects are conditioned to
contribute to the Fund, with the contribution based upon the
CC ATTACHMENT

amount of emissions that need to be mitigated. Citywide off-
site mitigation programs are then financed through this Fund.
DISCUSSION
Over the past several years, a number of projects have
contributed to the City' s TSM Fund, which currently has a
balance of approximately 3. 6 million dollars. In addition,
staff has estimated the potential additional fees that might be
collected over the next twenty years to be approximately 4
million dollars. This amount could be adjusted significantly if
threshold criteria changes. Staff suggests that the existing
fund balance be utilized for specific one-time improvements,
with subsidies to on-going programs to be limited within the
range of predicted revenue over the next few years.
Staff has researched potential mitigation programs that may be
appropriate for use of these TSM Funds. The general categories
considered by staff, which could include both one-time and on-
going programs, are:
Bicycle Facilities
Trails
Transit
Alternate Fuel Vehicles (AFV)
Building Technology
Administrative
Signal synchronization, intersection improvements and
channelization, have not been included in this list because
Ventura County Air Quality Guidelines suggest that these funds
not be used for traffic engineering projects, as these projects
are related to improving traffic congestion and not air quality.
The City' s current budget includes support for a number of TDM
type programs through other funding sources that might be freed
for other projects if TSM Funds are earmarked for those
programs. For example, the TDA funded portion of the transit
system (FY 2003/04 expenditure budget of $626, 168) is funded
primarily through TDA Local Share 8c funds. Several Capital
Improvement Projects including a trail study, bus stop
improvements and Metrolink landscape improvements (Budget Detail
Sheets, Attachment 1) might provide opportunities for freeing up
funds from other funding sources. In addition, TSM funds may be

used as "local match" for grants that provide funding for TSM
programs. The Community Services Director has provided
information transit system enhancements that may be financed
through TSM funds (Attachment 2) .
Attached Table 1 identifies potential programs to be funded with
TSM Funds under each of the general categories identified above.
The programs within each category have been ranked with staff' s
suggested priority first. The general categories have not been
ranked by priority. Each of the programs has been identified as
either one-time expenditures, or as potential on-going
expenditures. A very general estimate of the initial cost or
annual cost for on-going programs has been included. Once
priorities are set, . and the scope of each program refined, more
detailed cost analysis will be performed.
Staff is seeking the Committee' s recommendation on priorities
for TSM program expenditures to present to the City Council .
RECONWMATION
Direct staff as deemed appropriate on recommended priorities to
present to the City Council.

MEMORANDUM
COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT"
TO: Laura Stringer, Sr. Management Analyst
FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services f
DATE: January 15, 2004
SUBJECT: Transit Cost and Funding Information
Steve asked me to provide you with transit information for inclusion in the funding
report scheduled for the February 4.City Council Meeting. The purpose of the
information was to identify costs that could be funded by the City's TSM fund.
Sup ort Increased_Level of Transit Service: The City expanded its transit
service in September 2000,from one bus route to two routes, and
increased its hours of operation. The expansion of service amounts to an
estimated annual increase, in today's dollars, of$139,137 (round to
$140,000). This expense could be funded from the City's TSM fund.
r ' ' r N li a s: With the adoption of the FY 03104 bud et the
Addition of Mono o d y p g ,
Council allocated $5,500 to operate Moorpark Transit, ADA service, and
Senior Dial-a-Ride on minor, City-observed, holidays. This additional
expense could be funded from the City's TSM fund.
Senior Dial-a-Ride: in FY 02/03, the City began offering Senior Dial-a-Ride
service. The estimated annual cost for this service in FY 03/04 is $2,500.
This service could also be funded from TSM monies.
Farebox Ratio: The City must maintain a certain farebox ratio (14.9%) in
order to use it's TDA funds. if it falls below the established ratio, it can
make up the difference from another non-state funding source.TSM
monies could be used to fund the difference. Based on past farebox ratios,
which fell below 14.9%, 1 estimated the necessary inclusion of
around $2,000 to fund the difference. However, for FY 04/05, John Brand
is estimating that the City will exceed 14.9%. As a result, no additional
funding source should be needed.
Lastly, Steve asked about identifying another funding source for the proposed
purchase of two additional transit buses.The adopted FY 03104 budget includes
$400,000 for the purchase of two buses from TSM funds. If the City wants to free
up some of its TSM funds, it can submit an application for the use of

these funds should take place in February 2004. I do not have an estimated time
when approval of the applications will be made, but my guess would be
sometime around June. The allocation of the UZA funds will basically be a
negotiation process between Moorpark and Thousand Oaks. I feel confident that
we can work out an arrangement with Thousand Oaks if we start early.
I apologize for the lateness of this information.
