BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
Per City of Goodyear Resolution 08-1255, all expenditures of budgeted funds in excess of $500,000 must obtain City Council approval. The city has developed and approved a Capital Improvement Program which was adopted on June 12, 2023, for FY24.
STAFF ANALYSIS
During a monthly facility inspection, the retaining walls were identified as potential hazards as the masonry block was chipping and visible cracks were observed. The walls have been monitored through monthly inspections and the cracks are becoming more defined and larger. There is not an exact timeframe which can be placed on complete failure, however, there is an opportunity to schedule the repairs with minimal impact to the operation and displacement of team workouts. If the necessary repairs are delayed, this could impact the Guardians daily workouts, lead to more costly repairs or displace team activities.
The Guardians Maintenance Shop does not have a dedicated air-conditioned break room for employees who report to this location. The current space that is being used is not fully separated from the rest of the maintenance shop and is currently being cooled by a swamp cooler. Due to the nature of the work that is being performed on a daily basis, it is necessary to provide the employees with a dedicated space.
