October 28, 2025
SUBJECT:
Ordinance No. 3493-2025 - Increasing Estimated Revenues and
Appropriations in the General Fund - Buildings Department for Replacement
of the Cooling System in the City's Data Center.
The air conditioning system located in the Fire Department garage that cools the adjacent server
room has failed. The room is being cooled with portable systems until a permanent fix can be
completed. Quotes are being obtained to install a new cooling system and complete associated
building, mechanical and electrical work to make this occur. Expected costs to replace existing
unit with a large dual system for redundancy are approximately $25,000.
The Public Works Department requests a supplemental appropriation of $25,000 to the Buildings
Department fund to complete this replacement. This equipment is necessary for City operations
and this expense was not previously budgeted for.
