A 5% contingency ($1,008.52) is recommended to be added to this amount in the event that other miscellaneous sales tax, shipping/handling or other unknowns are discovered. This would set the budget amount not to exceed $21,250.00. Council Member Stigney asked if there was funding set aside for the heating/air conditioner unit replacement. Public Works Director DeBar indicated the Community Center Fund would cover the expense for the RTU. The furniture improvements would come out of a Special Projects fund. In addition, the roof repair would be completed out of the Special Projects fund. Council Member Stigney requested that future purchases come out of the Community Center Fund and not out of Special Project funds.
