Village orders generator; caucus room remodeling exceeds original estimate

Richfield Village Council Finance Committee · June 11, 2026

Summary

Committee heard that a new generator is on order for October 2026 (under $200,000) but will need extra funds for removal and transfer switch work; caucus room renovation is underway and expected to cost under $10,000, above the initial $5,000 estimate.

Scott Waldemarson said the new generator is on order and expected in October 2026 and that the purchase is "under $200,000," but additional funds will be required to remove the old generator and install a new transfer switch.

Planning and Zoning Director Brian Frantz said the caucus room renovation is underway and likely will cost under $10,000, higher than the initial $5,000 estimate, with trenching for electrical wiring and higher shelving prices the main cost drivers. Funding, he said, will be covered by savings from other under‑budget projects.

The committee discussed sequencing of electrical work and the impact on other building projects; no formal appropriation was approved at the meeting.
