RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING INGHAM COUNTY FACILITIES

TO ACCEPT AN INCENTIVE PAYMENT

FROM CONSUMERS ENERGY BUSINESS SOLUTIONS PROGRAM

RESOLUTION #10-045

WHEREAS, after the new condensate receiver at the Jail was replaced in 2009, the Facilities Department found that too much steam was passing back through the system which meant there were steam trap issues; and

WHEREAS, the County hired a company to conduct a survey to find out which steam traps were not working properly; and

WHEREAS, while waiting for the survey, the Facilities Department found that Ingham County was eligible for funding towards the replacement of the steam traps through Consumers Energy’s Programs for Gas Initiative; and                 

WHEREAS, Consumers Energy has issued a check in the amount of $3,555.00 to help cover these repairs; and

WHEREAS, these funds would be received back into the CIP Line Item 245-31199-976000-9FC04-Jail Condensate Receiver.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners hereby authorizes the acceptance of $3,555.00 from Consumers Energy from the Business Solutions Program-Gas Initiative toward the Jail Condensate Project from 2009.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners would like to thank Consumers Energy’s involvement in facilitating the Business Solutions Program-Gas Initiative for the County.
