Deferred Maintenance and Energy Upgrades at City Facilities
Summary
Schneider Electric's audit found nearly 20 years of deferred maintenance — failing HVAC at City Hall and Garvey Community Center, obsolete refrigerant, and hazardous 1970s electrical panels. The council wants an itemized breakdown and priority list before committing $4.3 million, with a decision deadline in January.

Impact analysis
The proposed project costs about $4.4 million, dropping to $4.34 million with a $113,000 federal grant, with claimed 20-year savings of $5.15 million that some councilmembers questioned.
City employees and residents who use City Hall, the Garvey Community Center, and parks would get safer, more comfortable, more efficient facilities.
Councilmembers Dang and Low argued taxpayers could lose money if the savings projections don't hold; the panels remain a known safety hazard until replaced.
