T' WORKS REPORT WORKS SERVICES DEPARTMENT January 18, 2000 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Pat Malloy, Public Works Services Director // f Dave McVey, General Services Superintendent Reviewed by: Philip Sexton, Interim Admin. Services Direct Prepared by: Ryan Thomas, Interim Management Analyst SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO AUTHORIZE AN ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION FOR $8,500.00 FROM THE UNAPPROPRIATED RESERVES OF THE EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND TO THE GENERAL FUND TO REPLACE ONE (1) 7.5 HORSEPOWER CIRCULATING PUMP FOR THE DECORATIVE WATER FOUNTAIN AT THE COUNTY PARK SUMMARY The City's decorative water fountain located at the County Park is out of service. The existing motor and pump assembly is no longer capable of circulating water through the fountain. The 99/00 operating budget provides $500.00 for fountain maintenance, which consists of weekly cleaning, chemical treatment of the water and minor filter repair work. Funds for the replacement of the motor and hydraulic valves are not included in this year's budget. ' Staff is recommending that the council authorize an appropriation of$8,500 from the Equipment Replacement Fund to cover the costs of this repair. DISCUSSION The fountain is a part of the County Park and up until 1993 was maintained and operated by the County. In 1992 the County shut down the fountain due to lack of funding. Following numerous requests by the City to place the fountain back in service, the County offered to turn responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the fountain over to the City. In 1993, the City assumed responsibility for the operation and maintenance of this fountain. The ;costs of chemicals and equipment repairs have been averaging approximately $500 per year. Currently, the fountain is out of service. The pump motor and hydraulic valves that provide the water and synchronization for the various water fountain spray rings are no longer operational and beyond repair. The pump and valves are old and in need of replacement. Numerous attempts to repair the pump and valves have been made without success. The only alternative remaining is to replace the pump, motor and related valves at a cost of$8,500. Funds for this work are not included in this year's budget.
