AIR CONDITION CHILLER — NPB COUNTRY CLUB
President Pro Tem Vastola moved to authorize the purchase of a new chiller from McQuay
Service Group for the North Palm Beach Country Club on an emergency and sole source basis in
the amount of $40,000. Vice Mayor Tringali seconded the motion.
Director of Public Services Tom Hogarth gave a status report to the Council, and Village
Attorney George Baldwin reviewed the history of the problems with the air-conditioning system
at the Country Club. The Village Council directed that the staff have an investigation by an
independent third party of the equipment to determine the actual cause of the failure of the
chiller, and directed the Village Attorney to pursue any and all avenues of recovery of the costs
to the Village. Mr. Baldwin was also directed to review the qualifications of the investigating
party. Funds for the purchase of the new chiller will be taken from Capital Contingency.
Thereafter, the motion passed 4-0.
