Memorandum

To: Jim Maitland
Acting City Administrator

Parks & Recreation Director

Subject: Purchase of a Dehumidifier

RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. To purchase and install a dehumidifier in the old arena at an estimated cost of
$13,260.

2. That the moris for this purchase be taken from the maintenance reserve
account.

BACKGROUND & COMMENTS:

On Tuesday, February 15th, in the late afternoon, the dehumidifier, in the old arena,
suffered a burnout. This equipment has been in tive old arena for 15 years. Normally there
are two dehumidifiers in each arena. Since one has bumed out, we are now operating with
one; it is essential to have two dehumidifiers in ordex to take care of the condensation.

Therefore due to the emergency we have ordered a new dehumidifier that will be in place
in approximately three weeks. The cost to purchase this equipment is normally taken from
the equipment reserve fund.
