Staff is recommending the Council approve holding the Energy Expo in 2011 and budget $5,000 for the
event.
Background/Discussion
On Apri121, 2007, Elk River's Energy City Commission (ECC) held its first Energy Expo at the Twin
Lakes Elementary School with Paul Douglas as the Keynote Speaker. In 2008, the Energy Expo was held
at the City Hall Campus and the emphasis was on the students from Spectrum Charter School featuring
their Energy Enny's and Energy Innovation Projects. In 2009, the Energy Expo was held again at the
Twin Lakes Elementary School. Joe Shuster, author of the book "Beyond Fossil Fools: A Roadmap to
Energy Independence by 2040" was the Keynote Speaker.
The ECC had its fourth Energy Expo on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at the Elk River High School. The
Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) estimated that over 600 people attended the event. Will Steger
was the Keynote Speaker. The ECC worked with the Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) staff to
provide activities for children as well as the Elk River Landfill teaching children how a landfill is made
with the use of candy. Food was provided by Dunn Bros. and Blink Bonnie who both expressed interest
in being part of any future expos.
The ECC is in the early stages of planning the fifth Energy Expo. The date has not been selected but the
plan is to hold it at the Elk River High School again.
Financial Impact
Over the past three years, the City has budgeted the following:
• 2007 - $30,000
• 2008 - $20,000
• 2009 - $10,000
• 2010 - $5,000
As depicted on the attached 2010 Energy Expo budget, the costs were kept down. The remaining funds
have been reallocated into the Energy City marketing budget.

Staff is recommending the Council approve $5,000 for the 2011 Energy Expo. It is anticipated that there
will be costs associated with a Keynote Speaker and continuing to use the ERAHS and Zabee
Auditorium. There will also be additional costs associated with advertising the event in the metro area.
