On the expense side, here are the highlights: City Center: ✓ Computer Hardware /Software in 2012 - $12,600. This allows us to accomplish the Paperless Agenda objective yet this year by utilizing all of 2012 & 2013's computer allowance in 2012 plus another $1,850. This action assumes a $600 allowance for council devices, two wireless routers in City Hall to provide full building coverage, new laptops for the City Administrator, Finance Director, and City Clerk and transfer of the Finance Director's laptop to Public Works Superintendent to provide staff with paperless devices that will also serve as their workstations utilizing docking bays (the PW Superintendent's current desktop would transfer to another user to replace a 2007 model). We would also purchase two desktop computers to maintain our normal replacement program, two new monitors, and upgrade the five new computers to Office 2010 from our 2003 version. ✓ City Center AC Units — Carried forward 2012 amount to 2013 and budgeted for one more unit in 2014. This would replace the three units installed in 1991. ✓ City Center Entrance Concrete — we continued the amount forward from 2012 to 2013 to replace the concrete at the entrance to the City Hall and Historical Society. ✓ Updated Building Code — This allows the purchase of the new building code documents needed by the Building Official in 2013. ✓ Carpet Replacement — 2014. We have provided an allowance for replacing carpeting in City Hall that was installed back in 1991. $35,000 is a rough estimate we obtained from a supplier. Fire Department: ✓ Air Conditions - $18,000 - 2013. Allows for the replacement of the air conditioners installed in 1991. ✓ First Aid Equipment - $4,500 — 2013. Expenses associated with establishing First Responder program. ✓ Replace Fence - $3,000 — 2013. This is to replace the wooden fence on the east property line that was constructed in 1991. ✓ Furnace Replacement - $12,000 — 2014. Replaces a furnace installed in 1991. (We may want to try to combine City Hall and Fire Department HVAC work in 2012 & 2014 to obtain better pricing. Parks Equipment: ✓ Slit Seeder - $5,800 — 2013. Moved forward from 2012. ✓ Large Area Mower - $56,200 — 2013. To replace 2003 mower. ✓ 100 Gallon Sprayer - $5,000 — 2013. To replace old spray unit with calibrated equipment. ✓ Replace Rink #1 Sweeper Broom - $8,000 — 2013. Pushed forward from 2012. ✓ Retrofit Old Mower to Rink Sweeper - $8,000 — 2012. Replaces existing mower /sweeper unit from 2003 with large area mower we are replacing above. This places a broom on the older mower unit. Park Improvements: ✓ Added in Playground Improvements per workshop with Parks & Recreation Commission - $50,000 in 2014, 2015, and 2016. ✓ New Lower Shelter at Spooner Park - $200,000 — 2017. As stated earlier, this likely should be removed to keep fund balanced.
