Title
Authorizing the Mayor to establish an Indoor Air Quality Program for buildings owned and operated by the city of Toledo for the purpose of ensuring that the public and our employees are provided with a healthy environment to visit and work.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The city is interested in providing a high level of air quality in its heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) systems located within city-owned buildings. Indoor air quality (IAQ) can be greatly improved with improvements to HVAC systems by adding additional filtration systems or replacing and upgrading existing systems entirely. The establishment of an Indoor Air Quality Program for buildings owned and operated by the city of Toledo will protect the health and welfare of city workers, visitors, and safety forces. The city’s Department of Public Service will oversee implementation of the Indoor Air Quality Program. The program will enable the city to write and apply for grant requests specifically earmarked in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it resolved by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That Toledo City Council supports the establishment of an Indoor Air Quality Program for buildings owned and operated by the city of Toledo for the purpose of ensuring that HVAC systems are in good working order and have the most energy-efficient units and provide the highest level of indoor air quality.
SECTION 2. That Toledo City Council supports the Mayor’s Infrastructure and Jobs Act applications for the purpose of providing funds to pay for Indoor Air Quality Program eligible improvements. It is adapted that when the city performs work classified at Indoor Air Quality projects, the City will require that the contractor and technicians be International Certification Board (ICB) certified to ensure the quality and knowledge of this important work.
SECTION 3. That this Resolution shall take effect and be in force from and after the earliest period allowed by law.
