West Bend library board approves $21,000 transfer to pay for chiller repair
Summary
The West Bend Community Memorial Library Board approved moving $21,000 from the operating fund balance to pay for repairs after the library's chiller required replacement panels and the building recorded high temperatures during repairs.
The West Bend Community Memorial Library Board voted to move $21,000 from its operating fund balance to pay for a repair to the library's chiller, the board decided at its May meeting.
Board members approved using the restricted operating fund balance after hearing that Trane technicians had performed an initial diagnostic and that replacement work would follow. The board had already paid roughly $1,300 for the initial inspection; staff reported a forthcoming repair charge of about $19,277 and recommended a $21,000 transfer to cover the repair and incidental costs.
The transfer will be processed through city staff after minutes documenting the board’s action are provided to Carrie (city staff). The board president called for a motion, a board member moved and another seconded; when asked, members said “aye,” and the motion carried.
Library staff told the board the repair was time-sensitive because building offices recently reached about 88 degrees on the day of the meeting. The board discussed possible longer-term costs for HVAC systems and noted the repair is part of broader capital planning.
The board asked staff to record the approval in the minutes and forward the paperwork so the city can move the funds.
The board also approved the meeting consent agenda (May 20 minutes and the listed expenditures) earlier in the meeting.
What happens next: city staff will effect the transfer once they receive the board minutes and supporting documents; the board recorded the approval for the current fiscal bookkeeping but did not schedule additional follow-up votes on the same item at the meeting.
