Decision Schedule
The City of Ukiah and Honeywell are working
together to confirm/prioritize needs and
estimate costs/savings/revenue for
efficiency improvements in the following areas:
Ukiah Municipal Golf Course
Water & Electric meters
Conference Center Equipment/Furnishings
WWTP (renewable energy options)
Objectives
Identify and present options for capital projects that will result in lowering operational costs and/or increase sources of revenue through improved use of existing city assets and
services.
Honeywell to provide turn-key services for design, implementation and financing of projects that result in efficiency and conservation savings for Ukiah.
Potential Opportunities
Ukiah Municipal
Golf Course
Dedicated irrigation improvements
Flip-flop renovation

Hole # 8
Phased Approach?
Phase 1
Dedicated Irrigation improvements
Flip-flop renovation
Phase 2
