Status Report

1.  LEED Scorecard on City Hall Project

Attached please find the current LEED scorecard on the City Hall Project.  The EAC has requested this information as well.  Currently the City is striving for 37 LEED points.  This would achieve the Silver LEED rating that the City is attempting to obtain.  The City has already received approval for 17 points under the design criteria submitted to the U.S. Green Buildings Council.  We will continue to provide City Council with periodic updates regarding our attempt to obtain LEED Silver status.
