She said during the last meeting, a representative with CTI came and presented what their company does and how they can help the City & Coun ty. Steffensen said that representative is no longer with that company and asked the board how they would like to move forward. City Manager Paul Briseno asked what they looked at. Steffensen said they were looking at several different areas of the building: lighting, HVAC System, and exterior envelopes. She said they look at past billing and see where they can help us save. Steffensen said CTI is not the only company who does Guarantee Energy Savings Contracts. Briseno said he is going to propose a Maintenance Supervisor who oversees all of the facilities to the City Council. He said the individual would also spend some of their time in the City & County building. Bartley said that’s a good idea because the county has the Brookings County Outdoor Adventure Center, the Detention Center/Jail, and the Courthouse.
