The Board continues to remind residents of energy savings contributed to the installation of the new heating system in late 2010. I personally have for some time, been prepared to provide an analysis supported by the facts, where the Board’s declaration of savings, has proven to be very misleading.

In order to clarify once and for all, the facts of the matter, I have prepared the attached report which includes ACTUAL COSTS of energy, comparing the period 2006-2009 prior to the 2010 installation, to the following period, 2011-1014. Residents can confirm these numbers on their own, by simply referring to the financial statements for each of these years.

With these numbers, any resident is able to apply the impact of published energy rate adjustments over these comparative periods, and come up with exactly the same analysis. This analysis is as follows:

It is important to note that, the Board has most recently advised me, that I will not be permitted access to our City Electrical account and will no longer have access to OUR account data. The board refuses to review or even acknowledge any energy analysis prepared by others. They have strongly objected to the efforts of anyone attempting to disclose the facts which have proven to be unacceptable and rather embarassing to the Board. As a result, energy costs going forward will simply be monitored through a continuing review of data from our financial statements and any impact of published rate adjustments.
