N/A
B. Community Center Building Generator Electrical Installation – Final Project Acceptance
and Retainage Release
There was no public comment. Ken Miller presented information on this item. Chair Kochmar
asked how long will the generator run. Mr. Miller explained that with a full tank and the
Community Center fully running, the generator will last 72 hours. However, it is expected that
the Community Center will not be fully running during an emergency, with the pool and some
lights turned off, and that the generator will run for three to five days. Staff is developing the
specifics of the emergency plan in regards to how much of the Community Center would be kept
running during an emergency. Council Member Ferrell noted that diesel fuel degrades with time
and asked how much diesel fuel the city has. Mr. Miller responded that there are additives that
will slow the degradation of diesel. The city has 3,000 gallons for the Community Center, 1,000
gallons for City Hall, and 250 gallons for the Evidence Building. Council Member Ferrell asked
if the city is ready for an emergency in regards to generators. Mr. Miller replied that with the
larger building generators and smaller portable generators, with the addition of the Community
Center generator, the city will be ready.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.
