RESOLUTION NO. R 1213-125: A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, TRANSFERRING $35,000 FROM THE 12TH AVENUE SE AND CEDAR LANE PROJECT ACCOUNT TO REPLACE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) UNITS AT THE SENIOR CENTER, REAVES CENTER, AND THE FIREHOUSE ARTS CENTER.
Body
BACKGROUND: During the FYE 2011 Budget process, Council asked Staff to assess the maintenance needs of all existing facilities to be included in the Five Year Capital Improvement Plan in an effort to address both deferred and ongoing maintenance needs of City facilities. Since that time, staff has been working through the Capital Budget process to address HVAC, lighting, and roofing needs.
DISCUSSION: The recent passage of General Obligation Bond projects provided an opportunity for funds originally budgeted in the Capital Fund for portion of those projects to be reallocated for other purposes. The Council Finance Committee met in October 2012 to discuss possible uses for those funds and one of the recommendations was to move forward with replacement of the heating and air conditioning units at the Senior Center, Reaves Center, and Firehouse Arts Center.
The transfer of $35,000 will allow for the replacement of a total of four units; one unit at the Senior Center, one unit at Reaves Center and two units at the Firehouse Art Center.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funds in the amount of $35,000 be transferred from Project No. TR0235, Cedar Lane Widening, Design (050-9079-431.60-01) to Project No. EF1003, Building Mechanical/HVAC, Construction (050-9540-419.61-01).
