MAR 21 1989 BOOK 76 Du 422 of replacement and a larger unit is needed due to the recent addition of equipment related to the County owned trunking radio system. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The air conditioner can be replaced with a larger BTU capacity air conditioner for approximately $600. An alternative would be to replace the.. single unit air conditioner with a central system. This does not appear feasible since the area required to be cooled is a single equipment room. The increased capacity air conditioner should satisfy the needs for the Hobart Tower for another four years. The tower is generating revenue and funds are available in the maintenance account for the tower to purchase the air conditioner. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the purchase of an air conditioner to replace the existing air condi- tioner at Hobart Tower and approve a budget amendment to fund the purchase from revenue generated by the tower. Staff also recommends that the air conditioner being removed from the tower be declared surplus and disposed of routinely through the Purchasing Division of the Department of General Services. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- missioner Eggert, the Board unanimously authorized the purchase of an air conditioner to replace the existing air conditioner at Hobart Tower; declared the existing ',A/C unit surplus to be disposed of through the Purchasing Department; and approved Budget Amendment #067 to fund the purchase: TO: Members of the Board of County Commissioners FROM: Joseph A.
