Building Automation System Improvements to Community Center: A new building automation system (BAS) was installed at the Community Center to operate and control the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) components. Trane provided a cost proposal to furnish and install a non-proprietary system for $21,605 plus applicable taxes, which included demolition of the antiquated Barber Coleman system, programming, graphics, trends, alarms, start-up, commissioning, and 16 hours of on-site training. The new BAS began service in March with no additional costs being incurred. Forestry Severe weather caused major damage around the region the evening of June 21. The storm produced heavy rain and strong, sustained winds in excess of 60 mph knocking out power to approximately 80% of Mounds View — which lasted for 12 to 24 hours for most residents. While neighboring and nearby cities south of Mounds View were devastated with numerous fallen trees, damage in Mounds View was fair in comparison. It is estimated that 50 trees fell in Mounds View but very few caused damage to structures. Public Works staff responded shortly after the storm passed surveying damage and clearing about five locations were streets were blocked by fallen trees and limbs. Street sweeping of all streets was performed and approximately six trees were contracted for removal in parks and boulevard areas due to hazardous conditions. Mounds View was designated a "Tree City USA" for the 32nd consecutive year for 2013 activities. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT I MOUNDS VIEW PUBLIC WORKS PAGE 10
