RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL The Resources Conservation Commission has approved the attached Resources Conservation budget proposal and recommends it to the City Council for their consideration. REQUEST FOR STAFF ASSISTANCE The Resources Conservation Commission requested that the staff contact the people who had expressed interest in the Pilot Recycling Project, but were not in the project area, to obtain assistance in conducting a promotional telephone campaign to increase the resident participation in the project. The Resources Conservation Commission requested that the staff obtain more publicity on the recycling programs being carried on in Iowa City. The Resources Conservation Commission also requested that the staff conduct a random telephone survey of Iowa City residents to find out what percentage of the people received the Energy and You found�helpfulwhat l,eandcwhatnts theyhexpected in,ithbutarts didn'tefind. and SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN Pilot Recycling Project Dick Plastino reported that 75 households returned the preproject survey out of a total of 125 letters mailed out for a response of 60%. 97.3% indicated they were willing to recycle their aluminum and steel cans while 2.7% were not willing.

They also felt additional publicity on the two recycling programs should be obtained. Plastino also reported that in the newsprint recycling program City Carton has collected approximately 2-3 tons per day and that the price now is about $100 per ton. CIVIC CENTER HVAC SYSTEM Referring to two manuals entitled "Total Ener Mana ement" and "Energy Conservation Retrafit for Existing pug, u lic and Inb LILUtid Facilities Plastino proposed a four step procedure for dealing with the RVAC system: I. Compilation of Present Energy Consumption Data. II. Building Survey and Engineering Appraisal. III. Implementation. IV. Monitoring. Plastino reported that $88,000 has been allocated for correcting the HVAC system and no more will be allocated in the foreseeable future. He noted that there did not seem to be any consulting engineering firms with very much experience in this area. Denniger pointed out that the RCC has recommended that when the design study is done that the building should be brought up to compliance with the Model Code for Energy Conservation and that the proposed Resources Engineer could do this study at a considerable savings to the City. BUDGET . Stager moved, Houck seconded, to approve the budget and recommend it to the City Council for their consideration. Approved unanimously. ENERGY CONSERVATION WEEK As a follow-up to the Energy Conservation Week the Commissioners felt that a random telephone survey of Iowa City residents to find out what percentage of the people received the Energy and You flier, what the recipients thought of it, what parts they found helpful and liked, and what they expected in it but did not find. The Commissioners felt that it would be beneficial to include the case studies of the Houck and Bolnick homes in the next flier. The meeting adjourned at 6:00 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Roger Tinklenberg. John Houck, Secretary. 4 ^' T :41CROI ILI•ILO 0Y DORM MICR+LA9 rrnAP pnr!a' . aI5 Mnl4fS M ILl Wi IL'1Lu BY JURM I.11CROLAB • LEDAK RAPLJS Ail'U UL.
