3. Describe how your government is taking into account the proposed implementation plans and activities <br />for use of funds by adjacent units of local government that are grant recipients under the Program <br />(response not mandatory for Indian Tribes). <br />The City's EECBG working group committee will coordinate with neighboring local governments and regional organizations to <br />coordinate contractor outreach, training, funding, project protocols, monitoring procedures and marketing in an effort to <br />streamline services and provide a consistent approach and best practices to homeowners and businesses in the region. <br />We also plan to work closely with the local utility on identifying EEMs, including additional rebates for both commercial and <br />residential projects to accelerate implementation and provide additional customer service and marketing materials. <br />4. Describe how your government will coordinate and share information with the state in which you are <br />located regarding activities carried out with grant funds to maximize energy efficiency and conservation <br />benefits (response not mandatory for Indian Tribes). <br />The value of peer-to-peer information sharing among local governments and state agencies cannot be underestimated. We <br />will enable our local government and business leaders to serve as speakers at regional and statewide workshops for local <br />officials and businesses, participate In information sharing networks and databases, and generally contribute to the body of <br />collective knowledge among local and state agency officials in this area. Communicating our program results and best <br />practices to the state will add to the collective body of knowledge towards improving comprehensive, state-wide program <br />delivery including recognition of major and significant achievements in energy measures and savings. The City is already <br />working with the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) in cooperation with the Texas Energy Engineering Services, Inc. <br />(TEESI) to maximize energy efficiency and conservation benefits to prevent the community from reaching non-attainment.
