Summary
The purpose of this report is to seek approval from City Council to amend the 2012 Approved Operating Budget for the City Manager's Office, Executive Management Division, and to accept project funding from the Ontario Power Authority's Energy Efficiency Service Providers Initiative for the Tower Renewal Office.
The Tower Renewal Office has developed and is implementing a system for apartment building and community improvements across the City. Tower Renewal has been selected by the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) to receive funding for an energy efficiency improvement program targeted to apartment buildings. OPA funding will be in the amount of approximately $500,000.00 for the duration of the program which is scheduled to operate from 2012 to the end of 2014.
Funds will be applied to provide education, outreach and technical expertise to support apartment buildings in undertaking improvement actions. In particular, the program will leverage private sector investments to expedite the implementation of energy efficiency projects in apartment buildings. This program will compliment the implementation of the Tower Renewal program to improve the state of the City's apartment buildings and their communities.
