Dear Mayor Snyder:
PGandE is making special efforts to inform its customers about a new zero
interest loan available for insulating and providing other energy conserva-
tion improvements to the home. I know you and the City are also interested
in promoting energy conservation.
To assist us in this effort, we are asking that the City of Dublin pass a
resolution declaring July 22, 1982 as "ZIP UP AND SAVE DAY." If you agree,
please introduce this resolution at the next City Council meeting for their
consideration.
If you can let us know when the resolution will be on the agenda, I'll have
someone present at that Council meeting to answer questions if the Council
has any.
Sincerely,
/14-4
