Subject: RE: Boiler tune up grant - proposal and Tom Coe conversation

Karl,

In response to the e-mail referencing Tom Coe and contacting the ERC, Brian Katamay

I had a phone conversation with Brian (Jan16th), indicating our desire to apply for approx. $180,000 In grant rebates and explained the 12’, 13’ and 14’ year totals and referenced Mr. Coe had suggested we talk with Mr. Katamay about applying for all of them and the best way to do so.

After discussing the numbers Brian said he first needs to see the breakdown of the numbers and his main concern was to see how it would fit into the ERP budget, he did not want to commit all of the funds to one place and was concerned about making sure it was split amongst multiple locations. I explained I could email the spreadsheet with the incentive totals, and he requested I complete the project costs column first then submit the spreadsheet to him for a review of the breakdown.

I forwarded the spreadsheet upon completion (2/13/2014), and awaited Brians' response. 

Today he responded and stated Ameren funds are no longer available and they are no longer taking aps for this year.

In turn I asked about the setting aside of funds ahead of time, referencing our first conversation? Brian replied the process for this is preapproval, something he had not required in the original phone call.

When asked what our options are now that weeks of work have been done, Brian said we have the technical work done and when the new year starts after May 31, 2014 we can visit the idea of including this work for 12’,13’and14’.
