administered by his organization on behalf of the City. He stated the loans would have either a
3% or 4% interest rate depending on household income.

organization to provide homeowners with energy saving items. He reported this would include
LED lightbulbs, insulation inspections, weather stripping, thermostats, water savers and noted
