Item 17 Passed 10-0

In plain language — from the agenda backup

This item would extend the city's contract with Way Service LTD to keep maintaining and repairing the building automation systems that run heating, cooling, and other controls across all City departments. It bumps the contract up by $625,000 for a revised total not to exceed $1,703,000, with $158,333 available now in department operating budgets and the rest contingent on future funding. It matters because these systems keep city buildings running day to day.
