The Administrator pointed out thaC in addition to the need for a generator at the City Center in the event the building is needed as an Emergency Operations Center, the City has additional generator needs. These include operation of the booster station to keep the water tower full, operation of sewer lift stations, pond pumps at Sleepy Hollow, etc. Given these various needs, the Administrator asked the Council to consider some options. The first would be a permanent generator at the City Center at an estimated cost of just over $30,000. This includes the generator and permanent hook up on the south side of the building where the air conditioning units are. The generator could also be placed on the east side of the building in a less conspicuous area, however, the cost would be more.
