Council approves $5,960 library HVAC tie-in for study rooms to restore heat and A/C
Loading...
Summary
The council approved purchasing an AKD HVAC system to tie four study rooms into an adjacent unit, restoring heating and cooling within about three months and using library capital improvement funds.
Library staff told the council that four study-room mini-split units installed during a prior remodel are aging and that replacement cost estimates varied widely. Amanda, speaking for the library, said she sought lower-cost options and asked the council to approve an AKD system that would tie the study rooms into the adjacent story-time unit rather than install a full duct system.
"Let's just say worst case scenario gets really hot," Amanda said in describing trade-offs and costs, and she recommended the AKD option as a cost-effective solution. The council moved to approve the purchase for $5,960 and noted the library has roughly $16,000 remaining in its capital improvement budget to cover the cost.
Staff said the tie-in would restore heating and air conditioning to the four rooms in roughly three months; Amanda said she would provide a written report in future meetings with specifications and costs.
