Towarnicki, Director of Public Works, presented an overview of <br />issues involving the Public Works Department. Mr. Towarnicki stated <br />funds were included in the FY 95-96 budget to replace the Municipal <br />Building chiller and to make improvements to the heating and cooling <br />system in the basement of the building. The project is currently on <br />hold pending resolution of the "performance contract" concept.
