8. Raaf Ventilators - Motor Pool Storage Bulldia
The Finance Committee recommended approval for installation of three
48" 34,300 cubic foot aminute roof fans into the City's Motor Pool
Equipment Storage building to provide better ventilation. The diesel
vehicles have caused problems with employees in this closed -in area.
and these fans would help alleviate the problems with air circulation.
]fie City Engineer had checked into alternatives and found this method
to be the most effective. A Council order will be prepared for the up-
coming agenda to transfer $6,500 from the Contingent Account for the
installation of these three fans.
