Silver Lake Council approves emergency air‑conditioning replacements and appropriation amendments
Summary
Council authorized contracts and purchase orders to replace failing air‑conditioning units at Village Hall and the Police Department, approved related appropriation amendments, and accepted vendor reports; motions passed unanimously.
Council voted unanimously on July 21 to allow emergency replacement of air‑conditioning units in the Police Department and at Village Hall and to amend 2025 appropriations to cover those costs.
Ordinance No. 57‑2025 authorized two purchase orders: one for an emergency replacement in the Police Department and another to OHM Advisors for engineering services related to Silver Lake Boulevard. Service Director Ben Gregory said the Police Department replacement was an emergency for a residential‑type unit and that the Village uses a regular contractor for that work.
Ordinance No. 58‑2025 authorized the mayor to execute a contract with the Geopfert Company to replace two Village Hall air‑conditioning units. Mr. Gregory said four companies inspected the broken units but only two quotes were complete; the awarded contractor will also encase exterior refrigerant lines to prevent animal nesting. Council suspended the rules and adopted both ordinances by roll call, 6–0.
Ordinance No. 59‑2025 amended appropriations for the current fiscal year to cover the air‑conditioning replacements, engineering services and other identified needs. Clerk‑Treasurer Sean M. Housley and Council discussed a typographical correction in the ordinance’s Whereas clause prior to adoption.
Council reviewed the Check Report and asked staff about payments, including a charge to Rice Oil Company to remove used oil and clean an oil separator. The Check Report was accepted by motion.
Next steps: the service department and administration will manage contracts and invoice approval; appropriation changes will be reflected in the fiscal records.
