Agreement Legal <br /> Amount Budgeted $300,000 <br /> Expenditure Required $270,000 Account Number(s): UT2908 <br /> Budget Remaining $30,000 <br /> Additional Required <br /> DETAILED SUMMARY STATEMENT: <br /> In 2008, the City and the Snohomish County PUD operated separate clothes washer rebate programs. In <br /> 2009, we plan to join forces to operate a combined program called WashWise. The WashWise program is <br /> administered by a third party and provides rebates to consumers who purchase energy/water efficient clothes <br /> washers that exceed current codes. Under this Agreement, the City will reimburse the PUD for a portion of <br /> the program costs. Operating a combined program with the PUD is more cost-effective for the City and will <br /> result in more than double the water savings. <br /> RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): <br /> Authorize the Mayor to sign an Agreement with Snohomish County PUD to participate in the WashWise <br /> clothes washer rebate program in the amount of$270,000. <br /> J <br />
