Agenda Title:Information on Photovoltaics for Roofs of Library Replacement Buildings at Adams and Washington Elementary Schools 
Background:The Board has requested information on the cost to add photovoltiacs to the roofs of the new library buildings scheduled at Adams and Washington Elementary Schools.   Attached is correspondence from the architect for the projects outlining the additional costs and anticipated savings.  Increased cost to the project for Adams Elementary School is estimated at $136,700 with a 25 year expected savings of $144,587.  For Washington Elementary School, the estimates are an increased cost of $122,580 with an anticipated 25 year savings of $275,000.  Differences in the numbers are due to the current design of the roofing system, angle of the sun to the building roof system, and shade from trees. 
Recommendation:That the Board review the provided information and provide direction to staff.
