Goal Setting- The Committee agreed to work on setting both short and long-term goals for
presenting new TDPUD Conservation program and activities recommendations to the
TDPUD Board. The group talked about setting three short and long-term recommendations
which are hope to be identified at the next regular committee meeting.
Reports to TDPUD Board- The Conservation Committee will provide monthly reports to the
Board as well as a comprehensive report within twelve months of the formation of this
committee. The committee may want to expand the existing conservation with some interim
recommendations prior to the comprehensive report.
Committee/Meeting Organization- The group agreed that the Committee should meet once
per month, but form subcommittees on various issues and activities and the subcommittees
will set their own schedules and meet in between regular committee meetings. It was
suggested the committee consider retaining an experienced facilitator due to the size of the
group and the desire to optimize the committee's effectiveness. The group discussed the
following list of possible sub-committees:
Conservation Measures Strategies
Distributed Power Generation/SB1
Financial/Data/Budgetary
Electric &Water Rate Options
Energy/Water Savings Forecasting
Legislative
Partnership
Outreach/Education/Marketing
TDPUD's Large residential & commercial Electric &Water Users
Committee Member Requests: Copy of AB1890 Public Benefits info., copy of TDPUD

Board meetings to report the results of their meetings that the Committee be allowed to
provide the report early in the meeting.
