In January 2014, the City replaced the air conditioning system at the Barbara Jordan Community Center as part of the Defered Maintenance Program at a cost of $46,280.00. For this project, the improvements consists of replacing the standing seam metal roofing and built-up roofing. The existing skylight over the main lobby is being replaced due to the age of the skylight and the worn gasketing system. While interior lighting is being replaced other meeting rooms will be accessible for staff and the patrons.
The roofing is being replaced due to the numerous roof leaks as a result of the aging roofing system.
