Consider Resolution 02-121 Authorizing Expenditure
of $26,000 from Capital Improvement Fund (401) to
Address Civic Complex Air Quality Issues
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.
