Reading Alliance for Climate and Enerov? <br /><>Cities for Climate Protection Program <br />Reading Committee Notes for Jan 12, 2006 <br />All committee members were present (Stephanie Anderberg, Michele Benson, Ron Daddario, Gina <br />Snyder, and Tracy Sopchak). <br /><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <br />Members unanimously elected Ron Daddario chair and Gina Snyder secretary for terms of 6 months, <br />duties to be rotated on a 6-month basis among committee members. <br /><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <br />Ron has the application from ICLEI and will take the lead to fill it out and work with Peter <br />Hechenbleikner to have it sent in with the $600 membership. Michele will be the local town department <br />representative on the application form. Once the application is in, Ron will check with Kim on trying to <br />get an intern to pull the data together, although electricity data is available from RMLD and might be <br />easily input as a first step. <br /><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <br />The committee will keep in mind the opportunity to work with all four communities that are members of <br />the Reading Municipal Light Department. Michele will take the lead to see if we can get an article or a <br />series of articles in the RMLD newsletter and also what other support RMLD might provide. <br /><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <br />The committee would like to have a kick-off announcement or press event with Selectmen and possibly <br />representatives from other town committees and departments (Town Manager, School Superintendent, <br />Police Chief, DPW, School Committee, etc.). This could include taking a pledge similar to what Salem <br />did (Salem Alliance for the Environment, SAFE). Tracy will take the lead on developing a pledge that <br />might have three choices from the three categories Transportation, Energy and Waste. <br /><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <br />Ideas include: Advertising the pledge at the Atlantic or other public location, and possibly handing out a <br />compact fluorescent bulb to everyone who takes a pledge (would RMLD supply bulbs?) <br />Newspaper articles (maybe monthly) <br />1/13/06 <br />
