Council approves financing to replace failed Sweetwater Police Department HVAC systems
Summary
The council approved a resolution to finance replacement of failed HVAC systems at the Sweetwater Police Department after Krista reported both units had failed and the expenditure was unbudgeted; first payment is deferred for one year to preserve the general fund.
The Sweetwater City Council voted April 11 to approve a resolution to finance replacement of failed heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems at the Sweetwater Police Department.
Krista told the council both systems in the police department had failed and that one suffered a catastrophic failure that could not be patched: “So both systems at the police department have failed. … That system … has a catastrophic failure and can’t be limped along.” She recommended financing the replacement to preserve general fund reserves and said the first payment under the proposed financing would not be due for one year, allowing the city to budget the expense in the next fiscal cycle.
Council members moved and seconded the resolution and approved it by voice vote. The item was described in the motion as an unbudgeted expenditure for critical equipment at a municipal facility; council did not provide a dollar amount in the hearing and directed staff to proceed with financing to replace the failing units.
