Meeting Date: April 28, 2008

From: Charlie Weller, Airport Manager

Subject: Resolution authoring consent to sublease between the City of Leesburg, Skybolt Aeromotive Corporation and Inverted Attitudes LLC

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval of the consent to sublease agreement between the City of Leesburg, Skybolt Aeromotive Corporation and Inverted Attitudes, LLC.

Analysis:

Jet Warbird Maintenance, Inc. currently has a sublease agreement with Skybolt Aeromotive Corporation for space in their facility at 9000 Airport Boulevard. The owner of Jet Warbird Maintenance has sold the business to Mr. Mark Hancock. Mr. Hancock wishes to continue the business operation at the same location under the name Inverted Attitudes, LLC. The attached Sublease and Consent to Sublease agreements formalize Mr. Hancock’s request to remain in the Skybolt facility and continue with this activity.

Mr. Hancock is familiar with the operation of this business as he has been a mechanic at Jet Warbird Maintenance since the business first opened at Leesburg International Airport. The presence of this business at the airport has been positive and adds to the diversity of services offered at the airport.

The Airport Advisory Board reviewed this agreement at their April 9, 2008 meeting and recommended approval.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Meeting Date: April 28, 2008

From: Paul Kalv, Electric Director

Subject: Resolution Authorizing Participation Agreement with the Florida Municipal Power Agency

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval of the On-Line Residential Energy Audit Program Participation Agreement with the Florida Municipal Power Agency.

Analysis:

The rising cost of fossil fuels continue to drive the cost of producing electricity up and causing electric utility rates to increase. Both residential and commercial customers are increasingly requesting energy audits.

FMPA is helping member utilities meet these demands and has entered into an agreement with Enercom which allows member utilities to utilize Enercom’s “Energy Depot for Homes” on-line energy auditing software at a reduced cost. The software includes:

1.  Personal Energy Profile – Allows customers to conduct on-line do-it-yourself home energy audits. Customers can choose a comprehensive “Full Audit” or a quick “EZ Audit.” The Energy Profile is a true home energy audit analysis with sound engineering calculations in a customer-friendly manner.

2.  Energy Calculator – Allows customers to quickly estimate the annual energy use and cost to operate a complete range of home electric and natural gas systems including everything from HVAC systems to minor appliances.

3.  Energy Library – A systematically organized library of fact sheets on a wide range of home energy systems and efficiency opportunities. The library also includes the top 100 frequently asked questions and answers on home energy use.

4.  Energy Advisor – an e-mail question and answer tool that allows customers to receive answers to any remaining energy questions.

Each participating utility receives a unique URL allowing customers to access local utility rates, weather data, and other variables unique to their city. Initial development and day to day maintenance is provided by Enercom and is included in the cost.

To date, 15 FMPA member utilities are offering the service to their customers and the program has been operating for more than a year.

The annual cost is $1,944 with a commitment for a minimum of four years.

Options:

1. Approve the Agreement; or

2. Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

Fiscal Impact:

The annual cost is $1,944 with a commitment for a minimum of four years.
