The Mitchell City Council will meet at 6 p.m. Monday and consider approving some facility upgrades for the Mitchell Fire Division’s second location on the north side of the city.
The rescue vehicles that are utilized by the Mitchell Fire Division are experiencing mold buildup due to the lack of heating and cooling systems in the building, according to City Engineer Joe Schroeder’s documents attached to the council agenda. Monday’s meeting at City Hall will be the first regularly scheduled meeting for the council since the cancellation of the Oct. 5 meeting.
The city is estimating the new HVAC system installation will cost $13,000. Paulson Air Heating and Cooling, of Mitchell, is the HVAC company the city is recommending the council approve for completing the work at the northside fire station that’s located just north of Airport Road and west of the Municipal Airport off Highway 37.
According to Schroeder, Paulson Air Heating and Cooling’s quote for the HVAC system came in at $11,325. But Schroeder’s documents explain that moving the HVAC unit from the proposed location would increase the costs in the amount of $1,200, which includes the need for installing a concrete pad to complete the project.
The project would require the city to utilize contingency funds in order to complete the HVAC project.
