Brian suggested that Julia focus on the following for her welcome: 6 years ago – analysis – Where energy was used, then look at Frank Austin’s summary – we have a decision-making structure – annual budget & capital decisions based on sustainability – maintenance. Built into the thinking and it is saving money.. feedback – grants, ongoing thinking… people don’t even think about it. 4 yrs ago bond issue for sewage plant.
