APPENDIX ENERGY CITY COMMISSION <br /> INTERVIEWS <br /> Allison: In this sense, do you see that the Energy City Commission has a role to educate <br /> residents? <br /> I'd like for them to.

I think that <br /> they want to be known as a driver for renewable energy in the region. <br /> Allison: Does that align with what you want Energy City to mean and represent? <br /> Yes, I think it fits well. <br /> Allison: Do you see Energy City as a brand or a nickname? <br /> I would see it more as a brand and an image. <br /> Allison: Do you think the residents see Energy City as a brand? <br /> That's a little bit tougher for me to answer. I don't live in the city. I work in the city. I don't know <br /> if I would be able to answer that effectively. <br /> Allison: No problem,the City of Elk River is also known as Powered by Nature,how do you <br /> see this relationship? <br /> I see them working more together. They go hand in hand. I guess I have always had opinions <br /> about solar in MN,but it's probably not my first choice for renewable energy up here.Yet, I think <br /> it shows that Elk River is trying to make a difference by putting some items out for residents to <br /> enjoy...their solar picnic table... etc <br /> 0 <br /> Page 70 UNIVERSITY of ST.THOMAS <br /> EfV-ERGYCITY <br /> Opus College of Business <br />
