He stated a lot of energy is being used when recycled water <br /> is pumped from the Waste Water Treatment Plant. He asked if there is an optimum <br /> time to draw this water, which would be more energy efficient. He asked when the club <br /> house is remodeled should they look at solar panels on the roof. He suggested the golf <br /> course be reviewed for energy efficiency. Facilities Manager Szabados stated he has <br /> not reviewed the Golf Course for energy efficiency. It was noted the golf course is <br /> managed by Western Golf. <br /> COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> Councilor Keany suggested putting percentages on the pie chart slide entitled Louisville <br /> Top 10 — 2011 Energy Use by Location and Energy Cost by Location. He addressed the <br /> water plants and asked if there is a way to keep the peak usage down in the summer <br /> time. Facility Manager Szabados explained the Water Treatment Plant Superintendent <br /> Sid Copeland is very cognizant of peak demands and manages the process very well. <br /> Public Works Director Kowar confirmed the Water Treatment Plant and Waste Water <br /> Treatment Plant Superintendents manage the process between the different plants and <br /> zones very efficiently. <br /> Councilor Keany inquired whether the reuse water for the parks and the golf course <br /> runs during the day or at night Parks and Recreation Director Stevens explained it runs <br /> at different times. <br /> Councilor Loo thanked Facility Manager Szabados for a very impressive and informative <br /> report. <br /> DISCUSSION/DIRECTION/ACTION — RTD FASTRACKS HYBRID PROPOSAL <br /> Deputy City Manager Balser updated Council on the RTD FasTracks Monitoring <br /> Committee decision to support staff's recommendation on the Hybrid proposal and <br /> forward it through the DRCOG 208 process and to the RTD Board on March 27, 2012. <br /> The second action was to forward their 2012 Annual Program Evaluation to the RTD <br /> Board for action.
