Regular Council Meeting <br />10-21-02 <br />Page 25 <br />1 <br />E <br />Dr. Parker said I would move that a motion to authorize an expenditure not to exceed $25,000 for the <br />purchase of a 30 kilowatt emergency generator and associated electrical gas service upgrade and <br />piping. <br />Council President Buckholtz said well, okay; I was going to do it to modify the proposal: A motion <br />to authorize a modified proposal here-would that be? <br />Mr. Diemert said he made the motion. <br />Council President Buckholtz and Mr. Diemert said it's fine just the way it is. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, any discussion on it? Are we clear on the differences, <br />Bernie? <br />Mr. Brett said we want to make sure, Bernie, that that's going to be enough in your view? <br />Mr. Samac said yes, Mr. President. I believe the 25 should be enough. <br />Dr. Parker said yes; we discussed it. <br />Mr. Samac said as I said we're not sure exactly what's going to be involved in re-piping a gas <br />line or being able to increase the volume and the pressure in the gas line to accommodate the <br />larger unit. There is a possibility that it might work without doing anything but it's kind of ` <br />doubtful. So if by chance it's going to end up costing any substantial dollars or any dollars over <br />that amount, we'll be back to see you. <br />Mr. Riter asked, Mr. President, discussion? <br />Council President Buckholtz said yes. <br />Mr. Riter said I think it's important to note that the reason that we're going with the bigger <br />generator is that in the course of the discussion in Finance, the Mayor's Office, the computers in <br />Village Hall would not be able to run off the generator that was being proposed. And it was felt <br />to go with a larger generator we would be able to run these added requirements of the Village. <br />And it felt like if we were going to do it at this point, we should do it right and spend a few more <br />dollars. That's the reason that this just changed during committee. <br />Council President Buckholtz said that makes sense. Thank you, Councilman Riter. Any other <br />discussion? <br />There were no comments. <br />ROLL CALL: AYES: All ~. <br />NAYS: None Motion Carried _ <br />Expenditure Authorized ~ 1 <br />
