Workers install new HVAC systems over the summer as part of a school-wide maintenance initiative, which has been ongoing. The school system has proposed $16.6 million to cover future fix-ups.

During last summers school-wide maintenance project, the school system addressed several issues including roof leaks, broken lockers and old HVAC units. However, at the Dec. 10 meeting Assistant Superintendent of Business and Operations David Myers said there is still some work to do that was not taken care of this summer.

Were going to replace what we have to and continue to repair, Myers said.

Maintenance staff went around and patched up a number of roof leaks at schools including Patrick Henry High School and Elmont Elementary School. Currently there is not enough money budgeted for full roof replacements, he added.

Mold has been another common issue in several schools. Myers said it is common for old schools to have mold problems when its hot and moisture gets into the buildings. His staff addressed issues at Patrick Henry High School where they sucked out the infected air and filled the entire facility with fresh air. They also disinfected every part of the school this summer.

We are very aggressive with attacking this, Myers said.

When the next summer rolls around, Myers said he and his staff will go to Lee-Davis High School and perform the same procedure, because in the past the school has had moisture problems. At the moment, they cannot tell whether it has mold or not because it is too cold out and cant be detected.

Myers said the proposed total cost of maintenance for all schools is $16.6 million.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) Before you tear open that December gas bill, prepare yourself. It could be double what it was last month.

With colder weather moving in again, natural gas companies caution it could further increase consumption, which has risen as temperatures have fallen this month.

Consumption is 97 percent higher than last month due to temperatures that have been 36 percent colder than average for the first half of December, said Becca Virden, a spokesperson for CenterPoint Energy. Were letting our customers know ahead of time so they can be prepared.

The change in consumption has pushed bills higher, even as the commodity price of natural gas has stayed steady, rising from $0.65 to $0.66 per therm in the past month, a negligible increase.

Three things impact customers bills: commodity prices, the economy and consumption, Virden said. The only significant one of those factors (that has changed) in the past month is consumption.

CenterPoint Energy is offering customers advice to cut down on their usage, recommending the following tips:

Furnace: A furnace is the largest natural gas consumer, and typically makes up about 70 percent of your natural gas bill.

Lower your thermostat to 68 degrees when youre home and 65 degrees when youre not. By lowering your thermostat 10 15 percent for eight hours a day, you can save up to 10 percent a year on your heating costs. Installing a programmable thermostat can help you automatically control your heat usage. Add on extra layers of clothing to keep warm.

Change your air filters monthly. A dirty filter restricts airflow and can increase the operating cost of your furnace by as much as 10 percent. A good reminder is to change the filter each time you receive your natural gas bill.
