City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 13, 2015 Page 2 Mayor Faust asked if any of the energy house items will be available on You Tube, which seems to be a hands -on, how to do things. The students responded they hadn't thought of that but will take that into consideration. Mayor Faust noted to the residents this energy efficiency house is not a `pie in the sky' and it's a way to give back to the community in both a learning and teaching method of students in the real world.
