The money will come out of the city's reserves and then put into the 2025 budget to pay back the reserve. The facility's existing generator is 7 years old and is failing. At a working session on May 20th, the council determined replacing the generator was a better option than trying to fix it.
Costs for the new generator are not to exceed $200,000 and includes all scopes of the work being done.
