ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Assistant Chief Walker is here, | believe on this item. So maybe you would come forward and tell us a little bit
about it. Good to see you.
George Walker, Assistant Fire Chief
We are looking to replace the HVAC and domestic hot water at 177 Lake Street. That system is 20 plus years
old and it is at the end of its working life. It has been problematic for us; costing us a lot of money to keep it up
and running. So we put this out to bid, it took us a little work to get the bids out and to get some bids back, but
we got some pretty decent bids so we are pretty happy with this one.

| think Ms. Kleiner is here on this. Why don’t you come up?
Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director
Good evening. This contract is negotiated very carefully with Corporation Counsel Steve Bolton who assists
us on every part of the utility valuation. Mr. Sansoucy has worked extensively with the City in the past and is
considered quite an expert in his field. This is a 6-year agreement which includes 5 updates for new additions
and deletions for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2024 and one re-evaluation as of April 1, 2023 for many of the
utilities which are listed within the contract. Again, Assessing continues to work very closely with Mr. Sansoucy
and the Legal Department on all of the assessments of these properties.
Mayor Donchess
And this is of course, these are the abatement requests, right?
Ms. Kleiner
These are the actual valuations of the properties for the upcoming years. There is prior work that is also being
handled by the Legal Department.
