  • Municipal Energy Planning and Energy Efficiency
    Municipal Energy Planning and Energy Efficiency Jenny Nilsson, Linköping University Anders Mårtensson, Linköping University ABSTRACT Swedish law requires local authorities to have a municipal energy plan. Each municipal government is required to prepare and maintain a plan for the supply, distribution, and use of energy. Whether the municipal energy plans have contributed to or preferably controlled the development of local energy systems is unclear. In the research project “Strategic Environmental Assessment of Local Energy Systems,” financed by the Swedish National Energy Administration, the municipal energy plan as a tool for controlling energy use and the efficiency of the local energy system is studied. In an introductory study, twelve municipal energy plans for the county of Östergötland in southern Sweden have been analyzed. This paper presents and discusses results and conclusions regarding municipal strategies for energy efficiency based on the introductory study. Introduction Energy Efficiency and Swedish Municipalities Opportunities for improving the efficiency of Swedish energy systems have been emphasized in several reports such as a recent study made for the Swedish government (SOU 2001). Although work for effective energy use has been carried out in Sweden for 30 years, the calculated remaining potential for energy savings is still high. However, there have been changes in the energy system. For example, industry has slightly increased the total energy use, but their use of oil has been reduced by two-thirds since 1970. Meanwhile, the production in the industry has increased by almost 50%. This means that energy efficiency in the industry is much higher today than in the 1970s (Table 1).

  • Guide to State and Local Census Geography
    Guide to State and Local Census Geography District of Columbia BASIC INFORMATION 2010 Census Population: 601,723 Land Area: 61.1 square miles Density: 9,856.5 persons per square mile Bordering States: Maryland, Virginia Abbreviation: DC ANSI/FIPS Code: 11 HISTORY The area of the District of Columbia was part of the original territory of the United States. The District of Columbia was formed from territory ceded by Maryland and Virginia in 1788, and was established in accordance with Acts of Congress passed in 1790 and 1791. Its boundary, a square ten miles on a side with vertices at the cardinal points to resemble a diamond, was established on March 30, 1791, and included all of the territory within present-day Arlington County, Virginia, and part of Alexandria city, Virginia. The portion south of the Potomac River was retroceded to Virginia in 1846. Census data for the District of Columbia are available beginning with the 1800 census. The population shown for the District of Columbia from 1800 to 1840 does not include the portion of Virginia legally included in the district at the time of those censuses. The population of the District of Columbia as legally existent in those censuses is: 43,712 in 1840; 39,834 in 1830; 33,039 in 1820; 24,023 in 1810; and 14,093 in 1800. Congress abolished the original county (Washington County) and incorporated places (Georgetown and Washington cities) in the District of Columbia in 1871, but later reestablished the city of Washington. The Census Bureau continued to recognize the boundaries of the previously existing areas for the 1880 and 1890 censuses.

  • Partnership Memorandum of Agreement Kentucky Christian
    Partnership Memorandum of Agreement Kentucky Christian University and ________________ School District Development and Implementation of Teacher Leader Master’s At Kentucky Christian University. Summary of Teacher Leader Master’s Programs Kentucky Christian University (KCU) has developed a Teacher Leader Master’s in accordance with the guidelines set out by the Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB) leading to Kentucky certification rank change. Through this program, KCU is striving to close the gap between teacher preparation and teaching practice that directly impacts student learning. To achieve this goal, KCU is committed to a collaborative role that includes all stakeholders in the educational organizations and to providing experiences related to emerging models of teams or communities of practice. Given this goal, and in accordance with the Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB) Teacher Leader Master’s Program guidelines (2008), the framework for the Teacher Leader Master’s Programs has been developed collaboratively with administrators and teachers from five surrounding counties and Keeran School of Education. Meetings were held at county facilities with teachers, district- and school-based administrators, and KCU faculty from educator preparation. During these meetings, the goal of partnerships was presented and small focus groups led by university instructors were conducted to solicit the needs of all stakeholders with regard to teacher preparation, continuing education, and job- embedded professional development. Along, with focus group meetings, surveys were sent out to all faculty at various schools concerning assessment issues, interpretation of standards, new course development, and professional development needs. The dean of the School of Education along with other KCU personnel, met with numerous school superintendents and instructional supervisors to solicit support in a university-district partnership.

  • Capital City Mill District Area Plan
    1136 Washington Street, Columbia, SC 29201 • Phone: 803-545-3222 The Capital City Mill District Area Plan The purpose of the Capital City Mill District Area Plan is to create a plan that will establish a community vision for the future development of the study area. The plan will provide recommendations and implementation strategies to achieve that vision. The Capital City Mill District area is located in an area experiencing significant change and development pressures from a resurgent City Center and a growing university. It is located between an industrial area to the South and the Central Business District to the North. To the West are a stone quarry and the Congaree River and to the East is the University of South Carolina. The area contains a diversity of uses from historic mill village neighborhoods and their respective textile mills (Granby, Olympia, and Whaley), to student oriented housing and a variety of lower density commercial and light industrial businesses. A proposal to purchase and redevelop the Capital City Ballpark underscored the need for a plan for the South Assembly Street corridor given its strategic importance as a major gateway into Columbia. Concurrently, the adjacent neighborhoods have been struggling with issues of transportation, parking, traffic, land use incompatibility, and flooding. The boundaries of the study, shown on the below map, include land in incorporated City of Columbia and unincorporated Richland County, and the jurisdictions resolved to work together to facilitate a plan to address the issues of the corridor and adjacent neighborhoods. City of Columbia and Richland County staff will be working with a project team headed by the Boudreaux Group and members of the community to develop this plan.

  • Sweden © Oecd 1997 403 Managing Across Levels Of
    SWEDEN MANAGING ACROSS LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT SWEDEN 1. Institutions and authority 1.1 Structures Sweden is a parliamentary democracy. The Parliament has until recently been elected for a three-year term. From 1994 the term is four years. The Parliament is elected directly and representation is strictly proportional. This promotes a multi-party system. Direct and proportional elections are also held for county councils, municipalities and parishes. Sweden has four constitutional laws, and one of these, the Instrument of Government provides constitutional protection for regional and local authorities. Chapter 1, section 7 reads: “There are in Sweden primary units of local government (municipalities) and county councils. The right of decision in municipalities and county councils is exercised by elected assemblies. The municipalities and county councils may levy tax for the performance of their duties.” Description of levels The ministries in Sweden are relatively small. State agencies and boards (around 300) handle most of the State responsibilities and administration. Some State agencies only work at the national level. Others can have regional and local branches. At the regional level, the central administration is represented by 24 counties. Around 250 000 persons are employed by the State including defence, and some State companies (railroads, post, airports). Sweden is divided into county councils (23), municipalities (288) and parishes (2 500). The counties are primarily a central government administrative division at the regional level. The parishes are local units of the State church administration. Approximately 734 000 persons are employed by municipalities, 303 000 persons are employed by county councils and 25 000 persons are employed by the church.
