• Asterisks represent projects for which appropriations have been provided to the Capital Development Board in FY 1982.

To provide the matching funds requirement (50 percent) of the Building Grants Program, funds are available in the FY 1982 appropriation to the Capital Development Board for energy conservation projects. T h e University has received approval from the U.S. Department of Energy to use FY 1982 state appropriations in such a fashion that 50 percent of the total cost of the entire set of projects is supported by state funds. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees accept the federal grant and: (1) request the Capital Development Board to proceed with the projects included in the FY 1982 energy conservation appropriations and (2) request that the funds appropriated for those purposes be assigned by the Capital Development Board to match funds provided by the Department of Energy for the projects listed above.
