The council also approved change orders for sewer line repairs in the city hall parking lot and additional storm drain work related to the 6800 West construction project, with costs of approximately $66,000 and $5,000 respectively. Additionally, the council discussed purchasing high-density evidence storage shelving for $145,000 from Spacesaver under a state contract, and authorized upgrades to the city hall HVAC control system with Johnson Controls via a state contract. A storage tank replacement project was also presented, emphasizing minimal disruption during installation. Funding allocations from HUD totaling approximately $1.73 million were reviewed for public services and neighborhood infrastructure, including roof repairs for a housing facility serving individuals with mental disabilities.
