Rudy recommended the Commission set a goal for the City of Elk River to "remove 10,000,000 pounds of CO2 through the use of energy efficient lighting in the next 10 months" by providing incentives for LED lighting and community education. Rudy also requested to set up a lighting fair and demonstration in the future. 5.3 Subcommittee Description and Meeting Times The Commission reviewed each subcommittee's purpose and meeting times set in 2012. Commissioner Westgaard suggested the use of Dropbox for subcommittee use. Commissioners Westgaard and Tanaka suggested moving subcommittee meeting times to either directly before or directly after the current Energy City Commission Meeting time, to reduce the amount of time away from work commissioners must devote. Commissioner Hagen commented that the purpose outlined for the Demonstration Criteria Subcommittee was different from their original discussion in that the subcommittee should document sites and evaluate each of their efficiencies and was not set out to specifically find new demonstration sites. Each subcommittee will review their purposes and report back at the May 21,2014 Energy City Commission meeting. Staff Mroz will work on a new schedule for the subcommittees to meet. 6.
