of <br />ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Energy City Commissioners <br />FROM: Rebecca Haug, Environmental Administrator <br />DATE: January 14, 2009 <br />SUBJECT: Meeting Reminder -January 21, 2009 <br />This is to remind you of our upcoming meeting on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 at <br />1:30 p.m. in the Uppertown Conference Room at the Elk River City Hall. Please see the <br />attached agenda and minutes. Below is a brief update on Project Conserve and the Energy <br />Expo. Staff will provide more details at the meeting. <br />Project Conserve Update <br />The Project Conserve group is finishing up their blower door tests and the infrared analysis <br />will be starting soon. The next meetings for the group will be the end of January. The <br />participants still seem enthusiastic and some have expressed their amazement on how <br />making small changes can really save a lot of money. <br />Energy Expo Update <br />There are only six (6) confirmed exhibitors at this time so the Committee will be contacting <br />exhibitors. Sponsorship letters have been sent out but so far there have not been any <br />donations received. The city portion of the budget has been cut to $10,000 versus $15,000. <br />The Committee decided to forego having a Keynote Speaker unless they are free. The plan <br />is to have a podium and microphone in the gymnasium and have Mayor Klinzing give a <br />welcome and inform exhibitors and the public about the Children's performances, the award <br />ceremonies for the students and to enjoy the food provided by the Lion's Club. Rather than <br />having tours of facilities there will be an Energy City Demonstration Tour. A bus will <br />transport the public on a bus tour of Elk River driving by various demonstration sites. The <br />Committee will be asking the demonstration sites to provide a script of why they are <br />considered an Energy City demonstration site. The plan is to advertise the Energy Expo <br />with banners along Highway 10 and then through the local media. <br />If you have any questions or are unable to attend, please call me at (763) 635-1068. Thank <br />you and I look forward to seeing you on January 21, 2009! <br />
