Tribe Considers Energy Management Program Let Us Know What You Think About This The Siletz Tribal Planning Department is exploring the possibility of developing a comprehensive Tribal energy management program. The program would give Siletz I libal members and administration easier access to services and programs that reduce energy use. decrease energy costs and allow people to have a healthier environment in their homes and offices. I he program would coordinate energy efficiency and weatherization funding re sources that come from sources outside the Tribe and develop projects that increase Tribal member access to those resources. The program also would evaluate and establish energy efficient construction requirements for each of the Tribe's new building projects. We would like to know your views on this topic. Do you feel that a comprehensive Tribal energy management program would be of value to the Siletz Tribal community? What problems, it any. have you had getting energy questions answered and receiving information about energy conservation? Have there been requests that could not be fulfilled? What would you like to have in the way of energy information that may not be available at this time? Please let us know.
