Council approves HVAC unit replacement at Carnegie Arts basement
Summary
The council unanimously approved Resolution 25337 to replace an aging HVAC unit in the Carnegie Arts basement; building maintenance cited older refrigerant and noted Carrier's contract and remote-monitoring capability across City Hall, the Princess Theater and library.
The Decatur City Council voted 5–0 to approve a recommended HVAC unit replacement at the Carnegie Arts basement.
Kurt Johnson of building maintenance explained the replacement was recommended "due to the age and old refrigerant" of the existing unit and described the Carrier contract the city uses for pricing and service. "Right now, we signed a 3 year agreement with Carrier, and I believe we're starting our last year of that agreement with them," Johnson said, adding the city uses Carrier's iView web-based network to remotely monitor and change set points for units at City Hall, the Princess Theater and the library.
A motion to approve the expenditure was made by Mr. McMasters and seconded by Mr. Atkins. Roll call recorded five ayes and Resolution 25337 was approved 5–0.
The transcript includes inconsistent dollar figures: an early agenda line lists an amount of "$2,008.00" for a unit replacement, while later the expenditure is reported as "$28,807." The council approved the unit replacement as presented at the meeting; staff thanked several colleagues for helping expedite the request prior to Thanksgiving.
