RE: Energy Efficiency and Auditing Workshops Island-Wide ::7 ~ ^~ > F.. . ~--• - o cn I am requesting 15 minutes at the March 3`d Council Meeting to discuss the following: The Hawaii Community College Office of Continuing Education Training (OCET) in partnership with Hawaii Electric Light Company (HELLO) and Friends of Natural Energy Lab of Hawaii Authority (NELHA) will be providing half-day "Energy Efficiency and Auditing" workshops at six island-wide sites during March through May, 2009. The workshops will be held in Hilo, Kona, Kealakekua, Pahala, Pahoa and Waimea. They will run from 10:00 a.m. through 1:30 p.m., with refreshments and lunch provided for all participants. The Department of Research and Development has awarded Friends of NELHA $4,000 to fund this project: however, the group is in need of an additional $3,225 to bring it to fruition. I would like to propose that the nine Council Members divvy up this amount in support of this worthwhile project. The amount per Council Member would be $358.35. Thank you.
