1~ <br />Public Works 1Vlaintena>nce Department <br />Memo <br />To: Duane Schwartz, Public Works Director <br />From; Pat Dolan, Fleet & Facility Supervisor <br />Date: October ! 6, 2009 <br />Re: REACT Update <br />The following is an update of the 12EACT energy report. It details progress we have made as of <br />September 30, 2009. For these areas, 2008 was used as a baseline. <br />Fuel Redaction <br />Goal <br />Our 2009 goal as outlined in th.e Energy Action Plan was to reduce City-wide vehicle fuel <br />consumption by 5% for 2009. <br />Accomplishment <br />City-wide vehicle fuel consumption has been reduced by 4.8% as compared to the same time <br />period in 2008. <br />Summary <br />As we continue this trend, it would appear we may or exceed our goal of 5% reduction. We <br />will continue to follow the other recommendations in the Energy Action Plan regarding fuel <br />usage: no idle policy and efficient driving habits. <br />Thermostat Settings <br />Goal <br />Our goal was to set the office thermostats at 68 degrees in the winter and 72 degrees in the <br />summer. <br />Accomplishment <br />We have successfully kept the thermostats set accordingly for 1 full winter/summer cycle. We <br />have seen a reduction in total energy usage (see Energy Management Accomplishments <br />below). <br />
