Development fund requests deluge commission meeting
By LYNN PEARSON City Reporter
City Renorter
The Lawrence City Commission was deluged last night with funding requests from a variety of agencies and organizations hoping to be included in the city's community development funding application for 1975.
The requests ranged from $90,000 from the Lawrence School District for an indoor swimming pool to an unspecified amount of unoccupied apartment complex for the elderly.
As part of the 1974 Community Development Act (CDA) the city must seek citizen participation in setting its priority funding areas.
In brief, the CDA funds_ran be used for construction and rehabilitation of physical facilities. The CDA stipulates that no city can have more than 10% of cda CMA monies for social programs.
Preceeding the funding requests, Marsha Ebaugh of Oberinger-Smith Consulting and the University of number of problems in eight Lawrence neighborhoods. North Lawrence, Pinkney, Oread, East Lawrence, Oakkill, Kaw Included were included in the problem neighborhoods.
In inside these eight areas are 86.4 per cent of the city's environmental deficits, 87.4 per cent of households, over 50 per cent of persons over 62 years of age, 76 per cent of the city's total number of minority groups and 88 per cent of those diagnosed with a dilapidated housing. Ebaugh said.
She said this type of breakdown made a good case for spending CDA funds in these areas.
The city had set a Dec. 17 deadline for development of a tentative budget. But after last night's response, the commissioners said it would be impossible to consider all the requests and meet the proposed deadline. Mayor Jack Rose said
perhaps by Dec. 23 the commission might be able to draft a tentative budget, but said
Funding requests came from the East Lawrence Improvement Association for about $270,000 in general rehabilitation monies for the East Lawrence neighborhood. The North Lawrence Neighborhood Association requested $135,000.
Also heard last night was a request from the Lawrence School District for $150,000 over the next three years for an indoor pool and other recreational equipment.
The Boys Club of Lawrence, the Consumer Protection Association, the Legal Aide Society, the Lawrence-Douglas County Bicentennial Committee and the Douglas County Child Care Association requested CDA funding for special projects.
She said Lawrence could "snag something good" for itself and be out in front with a model project if the city would come up with such a project.
Another request came from a woman who said the city should be thinking of developing a solar energy project to utilize monies available in the CDA.
She said this was a project that Congress was favorably disposed to and she was convinced that the nation would see many solar energy projects in the next five years.
Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of the appointment of Richard Perkins as energy conservation officer for the University of Kansas. And, according to Perkins, his office has been successful in saving both energy and money.

Perkins said yesterday that since January the average electrical savings over the past decade have been $20 billion.
Energy chief strives for saving
"For this being our first year, I feel fairly well satisfied with the job we've done," Perkins said. "I don't really feel that we're getting full cooperation from everybody, but I can't be happy when we could do and still keep school underway and keep outside areas lighted for safety."
Perkins said his primary responsibilities were to see that lights were shut off and heat cut down wherever possible. His job also includes seeing that windows and doors are sealed to cut down on the amount of heat escaping, he said.
"We could use a lot more help from everybody in shutting off lights," Perkins says. "But we should also whether he's a student or a professor, would just turn off the lights it would help. There are a lot of times when you can walk on in a room where there is no one in it."
Perkins said he had no specific goals other than to conserve as much energy as possible and still keep the University operating.
"This job is new to me," he said. "We've always tried to conserve energy as much as possible even before the energy crunch came up. But this energy crunch highlighted things and brought it to peoples' attention."
One significant energy-saving move was the shutting down of buildings over thanksgiving Perkins said. He estimated that 28 campus buildings $1,900 was saved.
"We saved about 2.5 million cubic feet of gas," he said. "Figuring that the average
home consumes about 12,000 cubic feet of gas in one month, we saved enough gas to serve 260 homes in Lawrence for one month."
Perkins said the number of kilowatt hours over Thanksgiving was enough to supply 20 percent of the energy needed for supply.

THE BEST LIKED GIFT!
Perkins said his office was considering shutting down some buildings over CCHA.
"That depends on the blessings of the chancellor, though, he said.
About KU's present energy situation, Perkins said the University hadn't had to
switch to its alternative source of fuel oil yet.
"we got the word earlier in the year that we would have to be on fuel oil for more days than a normal period in the past," he said. "But, we haven't had to switch yet." However, he said, the mighty have to go to the alternate source any time
"We receive our natural gas from the Lawrence Kansas Public Service Company, which gets its gas from the Cities Service Gas Company," he said. "Our contract is on an interruptible basis, so if Cities Gas would call the Lawrence gas company and tell
them to get their interruptible people on alternate fuel, we'd have to go."
Perkins said he had received companies that some of the buildings on campus were overheated. In Flint Hall and some of the other older buildings on campus, he said, the heat was controlled by hand valves and thermostats. He said even in buildings where heat is controlled by locked thermostats, Perkins said, people have tampered with the controls.
"Even when we lock them," he said,
"there have been some cases where people butt their heads and they can't walk."
