Mayor Phillips relayed Chief Harvey’s recommendation that the council approve option 3 for the HVAC repairs at Fire Station 2: replace a leaking indoor evaporator coil, install a 12,000 BTU mini‑split for the upstairs to operate with the existing system, and modify return air so the furnace can help remove heat when the mini‑split is not operating. The mayor said the estimated cost for that option was $6,700.
Council members agreed the repairs were needed and moved to approve the work as described in option 3. The motion (from Mr. Tolles with a second from Mr. Bosworth) carried on a voice vote. Mayor Phillips noted Chief Harvey had asked that the unit be charged earlier so staff could remain comfortable; he reported the upstairs had been as warm as the mid‑80s on recent days.
The council recorded the approval and directed the department to proceed with the repairs per the contractor estimate.
