Contract AwardInfrastructure & MaintenanceDetected Jul 20, 2026

Council approved Ordinance 2026-130 declaring an emergency and authorizing an agreement with Ziegler Heating and Cooling for HVAC repairs at the Annex Building. The quote is not to exceed $14,087 from Fund 412, with the City intending to seek reimbursement through its annual NOPEC grant. While this repair work is committed, the City Manager noted rooftop unit replacements would exceed $100,000 each and may be needed, indicating future capital HVAC and energy-efficiency opportunities.

Internal office reconfigurations have affected airflow and may require ductwork modifications; city plans to leverage NOPEC grant reimbursement.
