Recommends the City file a grant application for two projects.
Background
The Department of Housing and Urban Development, with support from the Depart-
ment of Energy, is inviting States and Cities to apply for grants for Community
Energy Conservation programs. Eleven ml1lion dollars is available for funding
approximately ten to twenty proJects in the country. The program objective
is to implement conservation strategies which will achieve significant energy
savlngs at the local level and address one or more of the following:
1) Assist low and moderate income persons to conserve energy.

expansion or establishment of small or minority business.

is great enough to generate electricity at the point where water flows from the
pipe into the reservoir. These generators could produce approximately 2.5
million kilowatts per year. Engineering for this facility was budgeted in the
current budget. Estimated cost: $500,000 - 750,000.
2) The second project would be wind and wave generation facilities located
