AGENDA ITEM 4C STAFF ORIGINATOR: Linda Waite Smith, City Administrator MEETING DATE: September 9, 2002 TOPIC: Consider Resolution 02 -121 Authorizing Expenditure of $26,000 from Capital Improvement Fund (401) to Address Civic Complex Air Quality Issues VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 BACKGROUND: During the past six months we have experienced an increasing number of problems with air temperature and quality in the Civic Center Complex. We have engaged two specialists to examine our HVAC system to identify the source of the problems and recommend potential solutions. The recommendations include installing carbon monoxide detectors at several locations, a centralized electronic monitoring system that alerts us to problems and allows us to check those areas from one location, and a programming control override to help dehumidify air brought in from outside. The estimated costs for checking the system and installing necessary equipment to resolve the problems is $26,000. We are requesting authorization to use $26,000 from the Capital Improvement Program Fund (401) to pay these costs. Depending on the final outcome of the system review, it may be necessary to implement additional measures in the future. OPTIONS: 1. Adopt Resolution 02 -121 Authorizing $26,000 in Expenditures from the Capital Improvement Fund (401) for Measures to Address Air Quality Issues in Civic Center Complex. 2. Decline to Adopt Resolution 02 -121 Authorizing $26,000 in Expenditures from the Capital Improvement Fund (401) for Measures to Address Air Quality Issues in Civic Center Complex. 3. Return to staff for further review and/or action. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Option #1: Adopt Resolution No. 02 -121 Authorizing $26,000 in Expenditures from the Capital Improvement Fund (401) for Measures to Address Air Quality Issues in Civic Center Complex.
