SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION Welcome & Introductions Lew Nelson welcomed the group and introductions were made.
Business Items Cool Center 2013 Update – Due to unresolved regulatory issues, the Cool Center program is on delay and will likely not operate at the same capacity as previous years. The funding for the program was drastically reduced but Maureen will stay in touch with the organizers and update partners as decisions are made. Report back from May events – The Partnership had a booth at both the Kings County Employee Appreciation BBQ and the Porterville Prospect Education Center Earth Day. The Kings BBQ was a very well attended event and the booth completely ran out of materials before the event was over. This was the third year the partnership had a booth at the Porterville PEC event and, while still well attended and successful, the event seemed a bit more regimented so participants did not spend as much quality time at the booth. Recap of Marketing Taskforce meeting – A Marketing Taskforce meeting was held on May 6th at the Tulare County RMA building. Unlike other marketing meetings, the focus was on connecting strategic plan efforts to regular outreach. The partnership will incorporate green building codes and standards per CPUC direction. Ideas included a green building challenge (the Kill-a-Watt Crackdown) launching in October 2013 and an educational Roadshow for 2014. Public Affairs Update
