color:black'>Yesterday on behalf of Sustainable OKC and the Transition Town
OKC project, I attended an OKC City Council meeting and afterwards a meeting of
the City of OKC’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Advisory Group. The
City Council was briefed on the grant and approved it, then at the meeting we
discussed the next steps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Corbel","sans-serif";
color:black'>A brief overview: The City of OKC is submitting a $5.4 million grant
request to the U.S. Department of Energy with 12 activities designed to begin implementing
energy efficiency and conservation strategies for OKC. The 12 activities meet
the stringent grant criteria and guidelines provided by the DOE and were identified
via a collaborative series of meetings with brainstorming and input from a range
of organizations, non-profits and businesses. Sustainable OKC and/or the Transition
Town OKC project had representatives at each of the meetings. The DOE has 120
days to review and approve (we hope) or reject the grant request.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Corbel","sans-serif";
color:black'>The attached PDF provides an overview of the activities. Over the
next three-four months the City will be identifying implementation partners for
each of the activities in the strategy – and SOKC and the Transition Town
OKC project will continue to be involved in an advisory capacity, so if you
have any thoughts, ideas, suggestions for implementation partners, please feel
free to review the PDF and pass your ideas along and we will in turn share them
with the City. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
