In 2020 R22 freon will no longer be available for some of the County's older HVAC units.  Unfortunately there is no retrofit or workaround and units will need to be replaced.  One of these older units is currently located at the InnerLoop Annex and is 15 years old.  We have been working to phase in new units but still have a total of 5 units needing to be replaced prior to 2020.  Total cost is approximately $1.12M to replace the remaining units.  Replacement units will be much more efficient and are projected to pay for themselves by about the halfway point of the unit's useful life.  Immediate savings will be realized on R22 as the cost continues to rise due to the phase out deadlines and availability of dwindling stock of refrigerant.  In the FY 18 budget we set aside approximately $700K to possibly be used to fund any findings during our salary survey.  Since these findings will be recommended in conjunction with the FY19 budget, funds will not be used this year and will go back into the reserve.  Our office saw this as an opportunity to potentially fund some one time projects and wanted to bring this to the Court's attention for consideration.
