Ottawa auditorium energy plan eyed by city board
Ottawa city commissioners reviewed a study urging energy upgrades at the Municipal Auditorium. Replacing incandescent lighting with fluorescent units, a new efficiency boiler, and an automation system could save about 3674 annually and pay for themselves in nine years. Costs highlighted include 7130 for lighting in 1996, 21500 for boiler in 1997, and 8400 for automation later. The report suggested phasing the work over three years, funded from the general fund with contingency reimbursement. The board also discussed naming city property after notable residents and approved closing Hickory Street for Project Youth Lifesaver on Oct 8.
