Background/Discussion The City of Elk River has received a grant to participate in a behavior-based energy conservation pilot program that will help the city reduce energy use and costs by engaging and inspiring city staff. The program will last for one year,gathering information on program participation, energy use consumption, and behavior changes. This partnership closely aligns with tasks B3, C3, and D8 of the Energy City Action Plan. The program will provide the city with further opportunity to be seen as a leader in energy conservation. Advances in energy conservation at the city level can be used as an Energy City promotional tool and demonstration for energy conservation by city residents and businesses. Class 5 Energy requests the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding,agreeing to display pilot- related materials, communicate with city staff regularly,provide 10 hours of staff time a month, attend quarterly meetings, create an Energy Steering Committee with city staff, track utility usage, and provide Class 5 Energy with results. Other than staff time,which will be split across various departments and ERMU, and minimal travel within the metro area,there are no out of pocket expenses expected.
