Honorable Salem City Council
93 Washington Street
Salem, MA 01970
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council:
Enclosed please find two proposed Ordinances pertaining to the Green Communities Grant
Program for your review and adoption.
As you are likely aware, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Green Communities
Act, has a grant program that enables cities and towns to apply for “green” community designation.
393
CITY OF SALEM
MAY 13, 2010
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Designation as a Green Community requires compliance with five key criteria and would allow the
City to be eligible for up to $1million dollars in grants for energy related projects. The types of
energy projects for which we would be eligible for funding are very broad in nature and we believe
would help substantially in a number of areas, from purchasing new LED lights which help with
reducing electricity costs to offsetting the cost of improving heating and mechanical systems in City
Hall, to helping us reach LEED designation status at the proposed new Senior Center, the ways in
which we could use these grant dollars would surely be extremely beneficial in a number of areas.
Anytime we can qualify for grant dollars to achieve much needed improvements and decrease our
operational expenses, naturally we want to do so. In the instant case, we are up against a state
deadline of May 14, 2010 for compliance with Green Community designation and I am hoping that
the Council will considering expediting their approval process so that we may qualify for grant
funding this year. A number of communities have or are in the midst of taking the necessary steps
to meet this designation, including Newton, Northampton, Springfield, Lowell, Melrose, Tyngsboro,
Lincoln, Lexington, Greenfield, Pittsfield, Cambridge, to name just a few.
In order to qualify for Green Community designation, the five criteria the City will need to meet are,
as follows:
1. Adopt as-of-right sitting, in designated locations, for Renewable Energy/Alternative
Energy generation or manufacturing
2. Establish a municipal energy use baseline inventory and 5 year reduction plan
3. Adopt a fuel-efficient vehicle purchase policy
4. Adopted an expedited 12 month application/permitting process for Renewable
Energy/Alternative Energy Uses
5. Passage of the Building Stretch Code
The City, through the efforts of the Renewable Energy Task Force and our new Energy Manager,
Paul Marquis, already meet the first three criteria noted above. However, the expedited permitting
requirement and Stretch Code implementation require additional action.
Attached to this correspondence is 1) a proposed City ordinance which would impose a 365 day
timeline for permits to be issued for renewable and alternative energy generation and
manufacturing within designated zones where such uses are currently allowed as of right and 2) an
Order adopting 780 CMR Appendix 120AA, entitled the Stretch Energy Code.
With regard to the proposed expedited permitting ordinance, since nearly every project reviewed
by the City completes their local permitting within one year, I do not feel as though agreeing to an
“expedited” 12 month process will be overly onerous or pose a burden to applicants or residents
interested in such matters. The expedited permitting requirement means only that a decision on a
renewable or alternative energy project must be rendered within a year, not that the project be
approved within one year.
As for the new Stretch Energy Code, Appendix 120.AA known as the “stretch code” was adopted
by the Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards in May, 2009, as an optional
394
CITY OF SALEM
MAY 13, 2010
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
appendix to the Massachusetts Building Code. This optional “stretch code” was developed in
response to the call for improved building energy efficiency in Massachusetts. Cities and towns
may adopt the Appendix in place of the energy efficiency requirements in the based building code.
This year, the base building code in the Commonwealth was updated to meet International Energy
Conservation Code (IECC) requirements. The “stretch code” is based on the IECC model, but with
added efficiency requirements equal to about 20% greater efficiencies. Adoption of the Stretch
Energy Code will entail stricter energy standards for new construction of both commercial and
residential properties, however there are limits to the impact based on the size and scope of the
proposed work. I have attached a fact sheet to this correspondence that describes in greater detail
the requirements and impacts associated with adoption of the new “stretch code”.
I wholeheartedly support our efforts to be designated a Green Community and again, adoption of
the enclosed measures will enable the City to apply for grants up to $1 million dollars to assist with
energy related projects. I would be happy to meet with the Council to discuss these matters in
greater detail and am hoping you would be willing to consider expediting approval of these matters
so that we may qualify for designation as a Green Community.
Very truly yours,
Kimberley Driscoll
Mayor
