The West Bend Library Board met May 20 and reported a recent HVAC failure that required a $22,000 repair, the board president and director said in a June 2 council report.
The library director’s report noted the chiller unit failed, resulting in the $22,000 expense, and that repair and other maintenance items have prompted staff to revisit strategic planning, the capital improvement plan and budgeting for building needs.
