and clean all drift eliminators, flush and clean headers, and vacuum debris and silt from basin.
ORACLE ELEVATOR
Mr. Segraves presented the yearly full maintenance bill for the elevators in the amount of
$2,301.24. Inspections are preformed once a month. Mr. Segraves requested a bi- monthly
maintenance check. He was informed they do not offer a bi- monthly contract. Mr. Julius said
he thinks their service is quarterly. He will check to see what company they use and get back
with Mr. Segraves. The board did not feel like a monthly inspection was needed.

said he still needs to check to see why the boiler is coming on during the summer.
FSSA (Vending Machines)
Mr. Segraves received information that indicated that we need to sign a contract for the coke
machine in City Hall for the purpose of providing blind individuals with remunerative
employment and enlarging the economic opportunities for the blind. The Mayor and the City
Attorney will handle this.
RESERVE MONEY
Mr. Segraves said he is checking into finding where the $300,000.00 reserve money shows in
the appropriation report. Mr. Julius suggested that Mr. Segraves talk with Amy Deering in the
Finance Department.
GENERATOR
Mr. Segraves said the generator ran for 14 hours over the weekend. It ran from Saturday, 8:00
p.m. until Sunday at 10:00 a.m. He said there was no break in the service so no one knew the
power went out. The Police Department informed Mr. Segraves that they heard the generator
running. The Police Dept. UPS system would keep them running no matter what the situation
was. Electrical Inspector Harold Satterly suggested we call Duke Energy to inform them of any
outage at City Hall. Mr. Segraves said he put in $1,000.00 worth of fuel to replace the fuel that
was used during the power outage. Mr. Sperzel suggested that we have the low fuel gauge
adjusted.
PARKING LOT STRIPING
Mr. Julius said it looks like they are starting to work on it.
FACADE LIGHTING
Mr. Segraves is looking at purchasing new exterior lights. He would like for some of the lights
to have junction boxes because there are no outside plugs. Mr. Segraves said the city electrical
is busy so he may hire someone to do the work.

The Department of Redevelopment has agreed to pay for one third of the cost to replace 38
chairs in the Mayor's Conference Room not to exceed the estimated total cost of $10,000.00 to
$12,000.00. Mr. Julius made a motion to approve the purchase of the chairs with the
Department of Redevelopment agreeing to pay for a third of the price. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Sperzel. The Board gave Mr. Segraves approval to purchase five chairs in the
