<br /> <br />Council Member Gunn asked if the City would be locked into Trane mechanical equipment with this purchase. Public Works Director DeBar explained this was not the case as the City did <br /> not want to be locked into one manufacturer. He noted the unit was also expandable. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty was pleased that the one server would be able to tie in the services for both City Hall and the Community Center. He indicated this control system would improve the air <br /> quality for both buildings. <br /> <br />Finance Director Beer questioned when the work would be completed. Public Works Director DeBar anticipated the work would be completed in 2012 but would be billed in 2013. <br /> <br />Finance Director Beer indicated if the work was not billed until 2013, a budget amendment may be required. It would depend on when the work was substantially complete. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 8031, Approving Building Automation System Improvements at the Community Center. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br /> Resolution 8032, Authorizing Additional Expenditures for Repairs and Improvements to the Gymnasium Floor at the Community Center. <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar explained recently one of the drinking fountains in the gymnasium leaked onto the gymnasium floor overnight at the Community Center. At the November 26th <br /> meeting the Council approved repairs to the floor for an amount not to exceed $12,000. After the contractor began work on December 3rd, more water was discovered under the flooring <br /> along with curled boards. This meant one-half to one-third of the gymnasium floor would have to be replaced. He explained with the new damage and added expense for the repairs, an <br /> insurance claim was started, and a restoration specialist was contacted for the floor. <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar stated the restoration specialist has been working to dry out the area. He explained a new quote was provided by the flooring contractor to cover the scope <br /> of the damaged floor. He indicated only the flooring that was damaged would be removed and replaced. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller stated the original estimate was to replace a 20’ x 30’ area of flooring. She questioned the size of the area that was now torn up. Public Works Director DeBar <br /> estimated the size to be double or triple the original estimate. He stated the gym was 9,000 square feet in size and only about 2,000 square feet have been affected. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty was pleased that the League of Minnesota Cities was contacted and that a restoration specialist was contacted. He questioned if the restoration efforts failed, if the <br /> expenditure would count towards the City’s deductible. Public Works Director DeBar stated this was the case.
