Regarding structure, the current 11-member structure of the ECC specifically lists career fields <br />for each of the members. Staff recommends leaving membership open to all career fields, while <br />reducing membership to four -to -six volunteers (plus one staff liaison). Direction is needed with <br />regard to whether the Commission desires a commission liaison as well. <br />Regarding purpose, staff recommend the following updates to the stated purpose: to promote <br />ERMU as a leader in energy and water reliability, sustainability, and conservation. <br />Regarding responsibilities, staff recommend the following updates to the stated <br />responsibilities: <br />1. Aid, create, promote, and facilitate energy and water related demonstrations at <br />community events and similar educational opportunities. <br />2. Work for the continuing education of the public with respect to energy and water <br />reliability, sustainability, and conservation. <br />3. Solicit gifts, grants, and contributions to be made to ERMU to support energy and water <br />related educational activities. <br />4. Such other responsibilities as ERMU shall assign. <br />The ECC would not have a separate budget, but their activities could be funded with <br />Conservation Improvement Program funds if appropriate. <br />NEXT STEPS: <br />If the Commission is supportive of re-establishing the ECC as an ERMU committee, staff will <br />update the information presented with any direction received, update existing ECC members <br />with the proposed actions, and present the necessary information at the December 2024 <br />commission meeting to officially establish the ERMU Energy City Committee with a January 1, <br />2025, effective date. <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />143 <br />
