The latest newsletter from Mayor Fiorentini has very good news on the energy front. The Energy Task Force is pleased to see another of it’s recommendations, in particular recommendation #1 “Have a city energy manager”, become reality. And energy audits are the first step toward recommendation #4, which is about building energy efficiency.

City Works To Conserve Energy, Save Money

Thanks to a grant from the State, we are doing comprehensive energy audits on all city owned buildings to conserve energy, and see if we can use solar, wind or bio-fuels to lower our costs.

Currently, we spend close to $6 million a year on energy costs. Our goal is a 10% savings. The audits started last week at the 16th Avenue Fire Station and the Walnut Square school.
