-Whereas, it is the mission of the District to provide quality water and sewer service within the District’s service area at reasonable costs; and  
  
-Whereas, the efficient use of energy resources for such things as vehicles, heating, cooling, pumping, and the waste water treatment plant (wwtp) processes affect the reasonable costs of providing such service; and +__Energy Efficiency Program__.  To reduce energy consumption requirements of the District and to reduce 
 +greenhouse gas emissions generated by District operations, the District hereby establishes an energy efficiency 
 +program under which it will conduct an annual review of its energy usage and assess cost-effective options for 
 +increasing the energy efficiency of District operations. Specific areas of District operations to be examined as 
 +part of said annual review shall include but are not limited to:
  
-Whereas, the efficient use of energy resources also impacts the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by the District’s operation. +  - Heating, cooling and lighting of District facilities; 
 +  - Waste water treatment plant processes; 
 +  - Mileage incurred by District vehicles and the fuel efficiency thereof; and 
 +  - Water and sewer pumping requirements 
  
-__Energy Efficiency Program__. To reduce energy requirements of the District and reduce greenhouse emissions, the District will annually review energy use and look for cost effective ways to reduce the amount of energy used in its operations. Specific areas of the District’s operations that will be looked at include, but are not limited to;  +__Electric Vehicle Charging Employee Benefit Program__. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated by 
-  * District buildings heating, cooling, and lighting usages.  +District operations (particularly those associated with employee commuting and other uses of personal vehicles 
-  * WWTP processes  +in support of District operations), the District hereby establishes a personal electric vehicle charging program 
-  * Vehicle miles traveled and fuel-efficiency  +which will allow District employees to charge their personal electric vehicles free-of-charge with District electricity. 
-  * Water and sewer pumping requirements +An employee charging his or her personal vehicle shall be limited to the use of District 110-volt outlets, only 
 +during a work shift. Employees shall use their own charger on a first-come, first-served basis. This program is a 
 +benefit of employment with the District, but has not been bargained for in collective bargaining and shall not be 
 +construed as a commitment, guarantee, or an express or implied contract, nor shall it be considered an 
 +amendment of any contract of employment. This personal electric vehicle charging program shall be subject to 
 +change or cancellation by the District at any time, without prior notice or negotiation.
