Re: Climate Challenge Program Participation

Dear Secretary O'Leary:

The City of Sherrill's municipal electric utility agrees to participate in the Climate Challenge Program. We have taken action in the area of carbon sequestration by planting trees. These trees were planted in 1992, 1993, and 1994. It is our intention to continue with this program.

Below is a summary of our tree planting program:

* 1992 - 50 trees planted

* 1993 - 100 trees planted

* 1994 - 320 trees planted

The City of Sherrill's municipal electric utility will report annually, on forms provided by DOE, on tree planting activities and any other achievements under the Climate Challenge Program.

Sincerely,

(Original signed by)
Keith Pitman
Superintendent, Power & Light
