A/C SYSTEM UNRELIABLE
The Library Board is asking the city to provide improved maintenance to their building's air conditioning system as well as the landscaping on library grounds.
According to Maintenance Supervisor Ken Eslava, the complex, computerized air conditioning system is beyond the expertise of city staff -- and an outside contractor is needed to ensure proper maintenance. At its last meeting, the city council decided to seek bids for this service (RFQ's) -- which should cost about $3,000/yr according to Eslava.
LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE A PROBLEM TOO
The Board also asked the Mayor/Council to replace numerous dying or dead holly plants, remove weeds, add mulch, and repair the irrigation system, among other things. Since much of the soil there is hard clay/rocks they ask that new topsoil/compost be added when replacing plants.
Councilman Stankoski, the council's representative to the Library Board, said he hoped the landscaping on the heavily-used library grounds could become another "showplace" for the city.
(Public Works Director Fidler told the Times her department is often overwhelmed by the many ongoing requests for flowers/landscaping throughout the city.)
