By using the mission statements, achievements for each year of the plan were developed. The ECC <br />felt it to be valuable to also list the 2007 accomplishments in the plan. The plan is broken down <br />into three (3) categories for each year. Each of the categories has one or two main components with <br />objectives to meet those. In 2008, one of the main objectives for the ECC is to hire apart-time <br />Energy City Coordinator to elevate Energy City. This person would be responsible for developing <br />programs to build partnerships with other groups, increase community awareness, establish city- <br />wide conservation programs and encourage diversity in energy sources as well as be a tool to <br />encourage businesses to locate in Elk River. The hope is to then in 2009 make this position full- <br />time to continue the same programs plus additional ones and then in 2010 expand those programs <br />even further. The ECUs goal is to be a model city for other communities. The ECC realizes that <br />doing these programs will cost money. If the Council chooses not to fund this position, existing <br />staff will only be able to work on a limited number of programs, primarily the Energy Expo in 2008 <br />if approved and maintenance of the website. <br />To assist staff direction, the following discussion items should be considered: <br />1. Does the Council want the role of the ECC to expand? <br />2. Are there specific areas of interest the Council wants the ECC to focus on? <br />3. Is there agreement on how to proceed/or not with the ECC Coordinator? <br />4. Discussion of the 3-year work plan <br />
