Re: Support for Clean Energy District
Dear Butte County Supervisors:

The Oroville City Council received a presentation by Ygrene Energy Fund related to the
establishment of a Clean Energy District in Butte County. As you are well aware, clean
energy production is vital to energy independence and can have a positive impact on the
reduction of greenhouse gases.
The establishment of a Clean Energy District in Butte County, coupled with the ability to
fund green energy improvements through property assessments, is a novel approach
and one that merits serious consideration by the Board of Supervisors. We are in
support of this type of program because it will enable numerous residents of the City to
install energy saving and/or energy producing improvements to real properky who would
otherwise be unable to afford those improvements.
The establishment of a county-wide Clean Energy District would create local fobs, which
are sorely needed by our residents in the current economy. In addition, clean energy
improvements purchased through this method will allow citizens to reduce their energy
expenses in a cost effective manner.
In short, the City Council of the City of Oroville supports the creation of a Clean Energy
District in Butte County. We appreciate your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
Lin a L. Dahlmeier
Mayor
