Background and Rationale
body
The Library Fire Panel and Building Automation System (BAS) project was originally a Capital Improvement Project (CIP) that was removed via a capital budget addendum to the 2024 Capital Budget. This project consists of replacing the fire panels for the Ramsey County Libraries - Maplewood, Roseville, and Mounds View. The project also upgrades the BAS at the Ramsey County Libraries - Roseville and White Bear Lake.
The library system is currently expecting a surplus of approximately $800,000 for 2023. This initiative would use $415,000 of the surplus for this project rather than CIP bonded funds.
