     CITY OF CLOVERDALE RECEIVES AWARD FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY 


The City of Cloverdale is one of a select few California cities 
designated by the Energy Commission to receive an award for 
"Outstanding Energy Achievement in Local Government." 

To acknowledge the City's energy efficiency accomplishments, 
Cloverdale will receive a framed resolution at its City Council 
meeting set for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, September 17, 1995. The 
resolution commends Cloverdale for dynamic actions in reducing 
energy use in city facilities.

"Cloverdale perceives the benefits of the energy efficiency 
program as two-fold -- the savings generated through energy
efficient facilities and the upgrades, which illustrate the 
city's endorsement of energy efficiency in our environment," 
said Carol Giovanatto, Assistant to Cloverdale's City Manager.

Through active participation in the Energy Commission's Energy 
Partnership Program, Cloverdale maximized energy efficiency by 
implementing extensive conservation measures at the City Hall, 
City Hall Annex, Police/Fire Station, and City Park Recreation 
Hall. 

From these completed conservation measures: installation of 
energy efficient light fixtures; new exit signs; exterior 
compact fluorescent floodlamps and occupancy sensors, Cloverdale 
will realize an estimated annual energy savings of $4,558 to 
assist in keeping the city's budget balanced.

Michael Sloss, Manager of the Efficiency Services Office, and 
Eurlyne Geiszler, Project Manager, both of the Energy Efficiency 
Division, will represent the Energy Commission in making the 
presentation.
