Discussion with HVAC Engineer concerning the City Administration Bldg. Mr. Herbert Duffield inspected the system and stated that it is about 24 years old. The first thing Council needs to do is obtain a maintenance plan on the system. He also recommended that the City go with heat pumps when they upgrade. This will continue to yield cost savings, as the City does not pay the Municipal Services Commission for electric costs. Mr. Duffield gave some suggestions that the City can do now and at a relatively inexpensive cost until the system is replaced. Councilperson Churchill made a Motion that the meeting be adjourned. Councilperson Petty seconded the Motion and the meeting was adjourned at 7:51 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Jill DiAngelo, City Clerk |
