Approximately 650 work orders have been entered thus far. Mr. Phillips pointed out that the program
will allow staff to prioritize long range budgeting for recurring and preventative maintenance actions,
long-term recommended Capital Facility Renewal improvements and Annual Capital Facility inspections
for Facility material condition ratings.
Mr. Phillips then presented to the Council emergency HVAC repairs that need to be done at City Hall and
the Police Court Campus. He ranked the projects by highest to lowest priority along with the cost of
each item. There were some concerns from Council regarding what funds will be used for all the repairs.
They all agreed that further discussion needs to take place regarding funding. Mr. Phillips went on to
list other items such as, but not limited to: LED lighting and smart technology planned for the Library,
Fire Station #1, and the Public Works Administration Building. Additional items will also be coming up
for Council review for flooring replacement, LED lighting for City Hall and the Police Court Campus.
