City trims building capital list, prioritizes police roof and senior-center generator
Summary
The building department presented $191,297 in capital requests including a senior-center air makeup system and a diesel generator (quotes ~$95k–$108k); council removed an automatic door opener and prioritized the police gym roof and the generator as top needs while seeking a second quote on the fan.
Building official Jennifer Mayo reviewed departmental capital requests, including a senior-center air makeup system (awaiting a second quote), a police gym roof with quotes of $7,157 and $10,900, and an aluminum ramp quote of $14,542 for public-works stairs. Mayo said the automatic door opener for the police door is a want, not a need, and councilmembers agreed to remove it from the list to reduce costs.
Mayo also presented two diesel-generator quotes for the senior center—$108,000 from Quantum and $94,700 from Bench—and said the generator is needed for emergency purposes. Denise Taylor said the roof should be the first priority and the generator second; staff will seek a second opinion on fan work from Plumbline and pursue grant options where feasible, though Braithwaite noted federal/state grants generally will not pay for diesel generators due to air-pollution rules.
