MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 14, 2020 Ayes (4). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. ADD BIPOLAR IONIZATION UNITS TO HVAC SYSTEM AT CITY HALL The Public Works Director stated that the pandemic has caused the need to improve the air quality at City Hall. He explained that UV light bulbs in the furnaces are an option, but a bipolar ionization system was recommended instead since there is no maintenance required. He stated two quotes were received to add bipolar ionization units to the seven furnaces at City Hall, and CARES Act funds will be used to pay for this. McGraw introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2020-10-130 — APPROVE THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF 7 BIPOLAR IONIZATION UNITS FOR THE HVAC UNITS AT CITY HALL FROM YALE MECHANICAL FOR $7,000 The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Fischer. Roll Call Vote: Keis/Fischer/McGraw/Montour Ayes (4). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. CITY HALL SIDING REPAIR The Public Works Director explained that the cedar siding at City Hall has been rotting for several years where they meet the roof line, and the fence that screens the air conditioners on the south side of the building are also in need of repair as it was damaged by Xcel during an emergency fix. He stated that some areas are still in very good condition and only need to be painted. He reported that staff looked at two options to restore the siding and there is a significant cost difference between them. He explained that the first option is to keep the existing siding, but cut off the bottom several inches along the roof line, put in a horizontal trim board with flashing, and also replace the boards on the fence screening as necessary. He stated that there would be maintenance down the road as the cedar continues to age, and the cost for this option is $9,250. The Public Works Director stated that the second option is to put a weather barrier over the existing cedar and attach metal panels over the cedar that lock together and for a look like siding. He noted that the metal panels would also be placed over the screening fence, and this would be a low -to -no -maintenance option, but the cost is $27,472. The Public Works Director stated that staff has not provided a recommendation due to the large price and style differences, and will leave it up to the Council to decide which option. He noted that $35,000 was budgeted in the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan for siding repairs on City Hall. The Council discussed the options, and there was consensus to fix the existing cedar siding, but have the Public Works Director find out the cost to replace all of the cedar siding. Fischer introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: 6
