GROUP ENTITY DISCUSSION
We discussed group entity infrastructure. We will continue to evaluate the need and project fit to best benefit the team goals. We discussed the importance of 'arms-length' participation to have as much of Santa Clarita Valley's participation across communities, businesses, educational resources, etc. In addition, we submitted our request have this project as part of the College of the Canyons Incubator. We will keep the team posted as progress develops.

MISSION DISCUSSION
We reviewed our overall mission and discussed the inital steps: Get Point Person/Project Manager from HOA/Mgmt; Get Homeowner Input (questionnaire, online survey); Discussed the Need; Discussed Tiered Retrofit Offering Packages; Have Local Santa Clarita Valley Resources Bid Projects (Yes, we still need to define Local Santa Clarita Valley); Ensure pre- and post energy audit measurement to have the data and track it over time.
HOA PRESENTATION
We reviewed the presentation and based on the groups valuable feedback. We have since modified the preso to a more pictorial format. And we went from 10 mins + to a current 2.5 minutes. [Also, thank you to our impromptu-focus group on Friday, as we put up the final touches:-) ]
The DVD: As our overall time to present may be a maximum of 5 minutes, as recommended by the group, we are working on a script to produce a 'Movie-Style' pitch to replace the ppt and make this project 'trailer' portable and uploadable to YouTube as well as our website. We will spec locations to show existing Santa Clarita Valley Areas and ask if any Local Santa Clarita Valley Companies want to sketch out some drafts of possible of future implementations. If you want YOUR LOCATION showcased - Please Call Leah 661-309-3195
