APPENDIX ENERGY CITY COMMISSION <br /> INTERVIEWS <br /> I think for the most part just getting a better understanding the community, what the role of the <br /> City is, how we are to be viewed, and everyone taking their part. We have been working on <br /> signage access to the public, what we do and why we do it. We were also the first city in MN to <br /> implement LED street lights. <br /> Allison:What would you say is the primary role of the Energy City Commission as a whole? <br /> Basically, communicating the City's vision and mission. The vision with its historical aspect and <br /> why it is important to promote sustainability initiatives within the community. <br /> Allison: How important is Energy City to you? <br /> Well I think it's important to me, not only being in the marketplace but personally - to feel you <br /> are making a difference. Utilizing your experience and perspective, I think it is very important <br /> and using those talents and gifts and sharing them with others to make a better place for people <br /> who live here and for businesses in the community. <br /> Allison: It sounds like Energy City is important, is there anything that would make Energy <br /> City more important to you? <br /> Let me think about that one. <br /> Allison: As far as Energy City and its designation, what does that mean to you and the <br /> community? <br /> Energy city to me means that since they have designation of Energy City in Minnesota,we should <br /> be a leader. Maybe investigate and incorporate programs so others can follow. I take that <br /> seriously. Not looking at what others are doing in Minnesota, but looking more globally to what <br /> others are doing to further our mission. <br /> 0 <br /> Page 73 ;� UNIVERSITY of ST.THOMAS <br /> �'-M--AGY�C] <br /> Opus College of Business <br />
