Resident presses borough on rooftop HVAC and whether top floor is climate‑controlled
Summary
A resident asked whether the borough building's third floor is being conditioned and whether rooftop units are sealed; staff said all six rooftop units are operating but recommended an airflow study to confirm distribution to the top floor.
During public comment resident Michael asked whether the borough building’s third floor is being heated or cooled and whether rooftop equipment left exposed is connected and protected. "Are we heating and cooling the Top Floor, or is it shut off?" Michael asked.
Staff responded that all six rooftop units are operating and that further steps are needed to establish airflow and distribution to the top floor. Staff recommended commissioning an engineering study or pulling existing engineering documents to confirm how the rooftop units were wired and whether the third floor is served. Michael and other residents emphasized stewardship of taxpayer money and asked for documentation of prior engineering specifications.
Council did not take formal action; staff said they would locate prior engineering drawings and consider commissioning a study to confirm distribution and protection of rooftop units.
