• <br />RUDY PERPICH <br />GOVERNOR <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br />OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR <br />ST. PAUL 55155 <br />March 25, 1988 <br />Mr. Joseph Chlebeck <br />Clerk - Treasurer of Little Canada <br />City Hall <br />515 E Little Canada Rd <br />St Paul, Minnesota 55117 <br />Dear Mr. Chlebeck: <br />As public officials, you and I are both aware of the cost of <br />government services and the frustration we often encounter trying to <br />reduce costs while maintaining services. One budget item that can be <br />cut without reducing services is energy cost. Collectively cities <br />and counties throughout Minnesota spend approximately $70 million <br />annually on energy. <br />The first step in reducing energy costs is to identify how much <br />energy is being used and which operational and equipment changes will <br />save energy dollars in Little Canada. This can be done by conducting <br />a detailed energy audit (maxi- audit) on one or more of your <br />facilities. The State of Minnesota has a grant program available to <br />assist you in conducting these energy audits. There is also a loan <br />program available to help you implement the recommendations of these <br />audits. Information regarding these programs can be obtained by <br />calling (612) 297 -2103. <br />Several communities have already made dramatic reductions in energy <br />costs and have put those savings toward more productive uses. The <br />maxi -audit provides local officials with a valuable management tool <br />and is an important first step toward controlling energy costs. I <br />encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to help your <br />community save energy and money. <br />Sincerely, <br />RUDY9tERPICH <br />Governor <br />Page 39 <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
