Each year COUNSELOR approximately 150 students have participated in the program and it continues to offer an opportunity for students to make lifetime changes in energy consumption. The Resource Action Kit that each student receives while participating in the program allows him or her to test old showerheads for efficiency, install energy efficient devices, and discuss with his/her family the importance of improving efficiency around the house. These activities provide students with relevant, real life experiences at a time when energy conservation is a necessity. The students are learning that they can make a difference starting with their own energy bill. Thank you for your sponsorship of the Living Wise program. I look forward to continuing our community partnership with the PUD. It has been a pleasure working with Scott Terrell for the past three years.

Purpose That the TDPUD board of directors; as representatives of the community; immediately give= renewable energy research and production the highest priority including an action plan as proposed below, 11. Rationale A. Eltergy"crises" created by outside energy producers. 1. Costing the district and subscribers huge amounts of money. 2. At mercy of outside producers. B. State and Federal mandates for alternative energy production. C. Efficacy of Local Control, D. Subscriber interest (see attached petitions) E. Advances in wind energy production technology and heightened interest and use throughout the world. (See attached article) III. :s;isting =ituation A. Siena Sun article (6-27) (see attached) 1. Mixed comments in terms of TDPUD support. B. Biomass project underway. IV. Propos,l We ;propose that the TDPUD Board immediately: 1. Make a unanimous commitment to locally generated energy utilizing the reo"'Wable energy locally available. 2. Authorize a detailed local market assessment and research to determine more fiailsr the ccnnnututy's interest in renewabies and to what degree the community is willing to support TT) IID's involvement with renewables and to what extent they are willing to subsidize renewable energy production and local control. 3. Immediately authorize the creation of a citizens committee to work with PUD representati�es to create and distribute an expanded and more detailed community assessment of interest. This instrument could be attached to the monthly bill. Also, at the same time, move ahead with creating a detailed proposal to have energy surveys professionally undertaken.
