Energy Project Updated 16 Oct 2006
The school board has awarded a contract to improve the energy efficiency of the district.  In addition to purchasing a $500,000 (est.) energy management system, the board is looking to move $1 million of projects from the building bond project to the energy project.

The board will not reduce the amount to be spent on the building project by $1 million if it is successful in transferring the items to the energy project (which does not require voter approval).  It is not clear what the board will do with the money that is freed up.

One thing is certain, any money the energy project frees from the building project becomes an increase in the cost of the building project, ceteris paribus.

The timeline for the Energy Project is as follows:
Execute Project Development Agreement September 22, 1999
Deliver CEA and Complete Draft Energy Performance Contract October 18, 1999
Execute Energy Performance Contract November 19, 1999

Items in red were included in the building bond presented to the voters.

** A lighting retrofit program was completed within the past five years through the New York Power Authority. Opportunities for additional lighting system energy conservation may exist.  **

** This item is most annoying.  The board has already been told that the lighting system work it had done only 5 years ago was not the most efficient and the district could still save money by replacing the system again.
