Attachment A *1 7TY T V IL 1JJL I J Public Works Maintenance Department To: Duane Schwartz,, Public Works Director From Pat Dolan,, Fleet & Facility Supervisor Date: November 14,, 2011 Re: Energy Use Update The following is an update of the Roseville Energy and Conservation Team supported energy saving areas we have achieved as of September 30, 2011. The team met on October 26 to discuss existing energy reduction efforts. It was determined that our efforts have been successful and the team advises continuing these behaviors. A summary of fuel, electric and natural gas usage follows. In these areas, 2010 was used as a baseline. Fleet Fuel sage Goal Our goal for the rest of 2011 is to maintain our level of reduced fuel consumption. Accomplishment From 2010 through September 30, 2011, City fuel usage increased slightly by .75%. This was in part due to increased streetscape mowing and increased fleet use during the summer months. Summary We will continue to follow the recommendations of the "no idle policy"' and practice efficient driving habits that have been established over the last couple years. It must be noted that the weather plays an important component of fuel usage. With more snow, street fuel usage will go up. With more hot, wet weather we will be out mowing more. Summer 2011 had higher temperatures than 2010, thus the slight increase. With each vehicle purchase, energy efficiency is considered along with matching the practical use of the vehicle to the job. B,uildins! Eners!y Mann ement Goal Our goal is to continue to reduce overall energy consumption from 2010.
