Currently, the special projects line item is only funded at $72,000, however the plan calls for $100,328 annually. When the funds fall short, we typically make the difference during borrowing time. Discussion regarding location of projects/replacement items. Paul reported the life cycle, current equipment status, and maintenance is analyzed in hopes that items don’t break prior to replacement. Paul reported the HHS Kitchen Cooler went out. The compressor unit is dated 2006, and the bid for replacement was over $5,000 (not including labor). Paul received two quotes to replace the full mechanical unit. Paul and Ron accepted a bid of $8,295 (not including labor). HHS is currently using the food bank truck as a cooler. This item was on the 2028 replacement list. Will be installed by the end of the week. Interest money that was earned on borrowing for maintenance, HWY, and tower project went back to General Fund of $436,000. Paul requested the committee consider approving the interest money to be used for capital replacement plan. Paul will bring the item back for further discussion when the Administrator is present. Paul gave a monthly report tied to the Strategic Plan. Highlights included benchmarking and asset management, which has been done through Akita box since 2015, infrastructure maintenance focusing on both proactive and reactive aspects of projects, and modernization accomplished through new lighting upgrades at HHS and Highway with LED lights. Buildings & Grounds also assist Parks & Rural Planning for community parks and public spaces planning. Cross departmental collaboration is accomplished through working with other departments and partnering with UW Extension and youth groups.
