Second Reading of Ordinance No.606,An Ordinance Amending Cable Franchise Ordinance No. 319,Article II,Section 4,Franchise Term. Mr.Whiting explained that this item was discussed at a recent Council Work Session as well as the last Council meeting. The existing Cable TV Franchise Agreement expires soon and there will be a time lapse until the new Agreement goes into effect. Therefore it is necessary for the City to extend the term of the existing agreement to January 1998. Staff expects that the new agreement will be in place by that time and it will be brought back to the Council at that time. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Stigney to approve the Second Reading of Ordinance No.606,An Ordinance Amending Cable Franchise Ordinance No. 319,Article II,Section 4,Franchise Term,and to waive the reading. • ROLL CALL VOTE: Acting Mayor Koopmeiners: aye Council member Quick: aye Council member Stigney: aye Motion Carried(3-0) 3. Follow-up Discussion of HVAC System at City Hall. Mr.Ulrich,Director of Public Works,explained that the City Hall building experienced a heating problem today which was resolved,however some decisions will need to be made in regard to repair of the air conditioning units and roof. He noted that the roof has a number of holes/leaks which should be repaired as soon as possible. He will be obtaining some cost estimates for these spot repairs. He explained that all air conditioning unit repair/replacement options include re-roofing the building. Staff would like to obtain input from the Council as to how much they feel is economically feasible to put into the building. Council member Quick noted that the options basically include replacing the existing units or go with a higher tech system and he would suggest that staff be directed to look at both of these options and get some figures on what it will cost to replace the bad units and what it would cost for a better system. Mr.Ulrich noted that the minimal repairs necessary would range from$30,000 to$40,000 which would include the replacement of three defective units and patching of the roof. A discussion followed. It was the general consensus of the council members that the roof repairs must be made as soon as possible. It is roughly estimated that this will cost between$3,000 and$5,000. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Stigney to direct staff to proceed with getting bids for roof repairs not to exceed $10,000,and to execute such contract as required(Mayor's signature).
