January 23 , 1995
5 : 30 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present : Chairperson Krizek, Mollenhoff, Anders .
Moved by Mollenhoff, seconded by Anders that the Agenda, as
proposed, be approved. Ayes : Three. Motion carried.
The request of Building Maintenance for authorization to seek
proposals for E. P.A. refrigerant recovery unit and refrigerant
storage vessels was reviewed. Current E.P.A. regulations restrict
the sale of refrigerants to E. P.A. transition and recovery
certified contractors . The E. P.A. restricts the recovery and
recycling of used refrigerants to owners of E. P.A. certified
recovery and reclaiming machines . There is currently a Maintenance
Assistant who is E.P.A. certified for transition and recovery. Our
recovery unit is outdated and does not meet the E.P.A. standards
for recycling so the city is not allowed to reuse any refrigerants .
With a certified recovery machine we could recycle refrigerant at
a tremendous savings when air conditioning units are serviced.
Moved by Mollenhoff, seconded by Anders that said request be
approved. Ayes : Three. Motion carried.
