RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Adopt the attached appropriations ordinance increasing estimated receipts and- revenues
by 58,354 00 in the Special Trust Fund, from increased revenues, and
Y
2 Approve the use of those funds to pay Industrial Hygiene and Safety Technology, Inc for
air quality tests conducted at the Police Communications Center, 3000 W Bolt
DISCUSSION
Beginning in August 1994, employees at the Police Communications Center began to report
symptoms that were attributed to the air quality in the building From August 1994 to November
1994, we received 108 reports of injury from employees reporting stinging/watering eyes,
headaches, nausea, breathing problems, and dizziness The Department of Environmental
Management contracted with Industrial Hygiene and Safety Technology, Inc to perform air
quality and noise level investigations The total cost of the tests was 510,854 with the Police
Department responsible for the amount that the Department of Environmental Management could
not absorb, 58,354 The unbudgeted expenditure cannot be absorbed in the current operating
budget of the Communications Division, therefore, we request to use awarded assets to pay for
the expense of the tests
All tests performed indicated the air quality is at an acceptable level No further tests have been
ordered at this time
