The Committee agreed . 8b. 2 Parabolic Fixtures. SMMA brought a sample for the Committee ' s review. Paul recommends the architects spec this fixture but continue to explore programs with ComElectric . Dr .

Bob said they are in touch with Com Electric weekly, waiting for release of rebate information . 9a. 5 Duel Fuel Burners : the report is extremely favorable to doing duel fuel . There would be a $44 , 000 total additional cost . The Committee should ask the Superintendent what he wants to do. There is a potential savings (over using 1 fuel ) of over $66 , 000 per year . Paul said gas prices will not come down . Based on current information , oil will not go up much : Dr . DeMoura said environmentally and for maintenance they should consider gas .
