Regular Council Meeting 10-21-02 Page 6 it) so that was approved. The Carpenter Road radio system enhancement for Hillcrest Radio. Basically, the committee recommended this item for approval. It's a shared amount not to exceed $3,000. Finance Committee - Dr. Parker said tonight the Finance Committee met. (An agenda is attached for reference.) The committee recommended Items 1, 2, 3, & 4 for approval. Regarding Item #5, this cost will be reimbursed by the Cleveland Water Department and the committee recommended approval. Regarding Item #6, according to Phil, this project will probably range about $850,000, the cost of which we will be responsible for approximately 25%. The committee did recommend approval. Item #7-Discussion ensued as to the condition of the buildings on the properties that we bought. It was the feeling of Mr. Samac that these 2 buildings will probably need to be taken down and, while we had deferred action on this at this time, it is likely that there will be some financial implications to that somewhere in the range of $20,000 (give or take.) Item #8 was recommended for approval. Item #9-this was an increase in the original amount that we had approved (I believe it was approximately $4,000+ dollars difference. What will happen is the prior motion will be replaced by this one. The committee recommended #9 for approval. Item #10, the committee decided to request that Mr. Adams of BTS come before one of our Caucuses and explain what his company can do and the cost and what's involved. That was our suggestion. Item #11, we discussed this item thoroughly and after a lot of discussion we are recommending that we actually replace the old 20 kilowatt unit _ with a 30 kilowatt unit. The price-the numbers--will change. Bernie, what is it looking like in terms o£ ..we will have to have the Gas Company bring in some additional service so the unit will have sufficient gas. But after much discussion, the committee members felt that having the additional power (or kilowattage) would well be worth the additional cost. [It will] probably be in the range of about $7,000 additional (between the difference cost in generators and bringing the service over.) Does that pretty much state it, Bernie? . Mr. Samac replied, that states it very well. Dr. Parker (continuing his report) said Item #12, as you recall, this item was discussed at length about a year and a half, two years ago, with regard to the bathrooms and what the work that had to be done in this building. The committee did recommend approval to have that work done. We are on a time constraint and we were all in favor of that. Dr. Parker said I wanted to add two more items to that agenda for items that were added on. One was $15,000 for a folding machine for mailings as well as $2,976 for equipment and labor to B&C Communications to upgrade one of our towers because there is a dead zone in an area where our safety services cannot communicate with each other and this would allow to eliminate that dead zone.
