Section 39.35A.010. Findings.  


Latest version.
  • The legislature finds that:
    (1) Conserving energy and water in publicly owned buildings will have a beneficial effect on our overall supply of energy and water;
    (2) Conserving energy and water in publicly owned buildings can result in cost savings for taxpayers; and
    (3) Performance-based energy contracts are a means by which municipalities can achieve energy and water conservation without capital outlay.
    Therefore, the legislature declares that it is the policy that a municipality may, after a competitive selection process, negotiate a performance-based energy contract with a firm that offers the best proposal.
