Medford Energy Committee
The Medford Energy Committee works in conjunction with the Medford Office of Energy and the Environment to support the City’s goals of energy independence and environmental stewardship. The Committee provides additional technical and consulting expertise to the City and organizes energy and environmental related projects, events and programs to benefit the residents of Medford. The Committee is comprised of residents and staff who bring a variety of expertise to the city, particularly in the areas of energy efficiency, clean energy, community outreach and education.
The Committee is a standing Committee, each member of which is appointed by the Mayor. The Committee is staffed and organized by the Energy Efficiency Coordinator or another staff member from the Office of Energy and the Environment.
Appointments are for a two year period. At any time a member may choose to tender his or her resignation from the committee.
Scope:
Projects the Committee may engage in include, but are not limited to:
- Consultation with City staff on energy and environment projects
- Community fairs and events
- Assisting with renewable energy projects managed by the City
- Developing and running projects and programs to reduce residential and commercial energy consumption.
- Identifying and assisting with grant applications on behalf of the city
- Outreach and communication with other community organizations
The Committee will meet monthly, with representation from the Office of Energy and the Environment and may choose to form sub-committees, either standing or project based to address the activities of the Committee.
The Committee meets on the 1st Monday of each month (except for legal holidays) at 6PM in City Hall room 201.
