The superintendent recommended and the board approved consent items 1 through 9 by voice vote. The board also approved a contract with Earth Incorporated for geotechnical engineering services to design remedial measures addressing the most recent Martarelli Stadium landslide; the contract is a $45,000 lump sum initially funded from the district's capital projects fund while the district seeks grants to reimburse design costs.

The board additionally approved a delinquent real estate tax appeal for penalties of $419.12 and interest of $461.79 submitted on behalf of the estate of a recently deceased taxpayer.

Personnel items discussed at the board's prior executive session were approved as presented (personnel items 1–5). During the roll call on those items one board member indicated a no vote specifically on item 5; the meeting record did not identify that member by name in the public transcript.

The board's motions were introduced during the Feb. 20 legislative meeting and carried by voice vote. The meeting transcript does not provide a numeric roll-call tally for the motions. The meeting record shows Dee Spade seconded at least one motion and Mike Santucci seconded the personnel motion; the superintendent made the recommendations that the board moved to approve.

Votes at a glance

- Consent items 1–9: approved (motion moved by Board President; second: Dee Spade; vote: approved by voice; numeric tally not specified in transcript).

- Buildings & Grounds item (Earth Incorporated geotechnical contract): approved (motion moved by Board President; second: Dee Spade; contract lump sum: $45,000; funding: capital projects fund; district seeking grant reimbursement).

- Finance item (delinquent real estate tax appeal): approved (penalties $419.12; interest $461.79; submitted on behalf of an estate; motion approved by voice vote; no numeric tally provided).

- Personnel items 1–5: approved (mover: Board President; second: Mike Santucci; outcome: approved; meeting record shows a single no vote on item 5 by an unnamed board member).

Board members did not expand on the details of the tax appeal during the public meeting; staff said the appeal related to unforeseen circumstances following a taxpayer's death. The Earth Incorporated contract was presented as a continuation of geotechnical work Earth Inc. performed after a 2018 landslide at the same site; the presenter told the board there had been no movement for nearly seven years before the most recent slide and noted Earth Inc.'s prior experience at the site.

No formal roll-call vote tallies or recorded individual vote names appear in the public transcript for these motions; the minutes or the official signed roll-call recorded separately by district staff may include a fuller vote record.

With no further business, the board adjourned the legislative meeting and held a public budget meeting immediately afterward.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","NHSD Board of Education Legislative Meeting - February 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The North Hills Board of Education on Feb. 20 approved routine consent business and three added action items, including a $45,000 geotechnical contract for remedial design at Martarelli Stadium and a delinquent real estate tax appeal.","taxTitle","North Hills SD, School Districts, Pennsylvania","taxId",38720,"location","Pennsylvania","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6317863,"North Hills Board hears Westview Elementary construction update; district expects remaining work complete by mid-March",334,1140000,1474000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2368924-35cd70e8591c68c29af4f0e7dbf88771&start=1140&end=1474","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2368924-35cd70e8591c68c29af4f0e7dbf88771/thumbnail_1140000.jpg","/articles/6317863/Pennsylvania/North-Hills-Board-hears-Westview-Elementary-construction-update-district-expects-remaining-work-complete-by-mid-March","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6317863-4013cbf54caef502c1e87200918c23bf/orig.mp4?Expires=1777126072&Signature=lxyHASIjoVtqPZ77xqQfAU1FswPaDwPCxSO4ETyXQtbYnWXumXVjmQhVe8ZIIjx2fNWB2cmRN5dU3Rp1u~r5BfmNBywxEv58Ym34TPwHEHpkkKfkhsuT8pK3befT8Up6W10Z4syk34vQ9I6t0mKCEkgRc0pZIOSNEMkVtORVNJTkk~hK7eY6fVPDs9CX2WdiNwOgR3~wgrfIG19bvPF1KldwSAbIrMyQj5DapWtn~V3hmw4CGEcLkut7VkJtc6TpReWMivEYIiSxKfhGZfmcg5RBRiksKTYVQUJkzmR2TFrSXBb3F1eLtlyPYr0Gz1ijVkaZvL3sx5pjVs2guqZuJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Westview Elementary has reached substantial completion, and district and contractor representatives told the North Hills Board of Education on Feb. 20 that remaining finishing work should wrap up by mid-March.

Dan Doyle, a SiteLogic representative, told the board the building met substantial completion and highlighted remaining items including auditorium and stage patching and painting, installation of a new dimmer, gym equipment control work to raise the hoops, ceiling work in existing stairwells, lighting change orders and HVAC balancing.

\"Substantial completion has been met for the entire building now,\" Doyle said. He said HVAC filters were replaced recently and that HVAC balancing will resume next week; full balancing is expected to take a couple of weeks and could extend into mid-March.

Doyle reviewed the project schedule and milestones: the final area completed was phase 2F, the kindergarten wing, and the district received an occupancy inspection from Westview Borough on Jan. 17. He said the overall construction duration ran approximately 24 months and three weeks, and that the project had been delayed earlier in the schedule by roughly two-and-a-half months related to the addition work.

Doyle reported financial and contract-status numbers: \"Paid out so far a little over $33,000,000 and a balance for all the prime contractors is a little over $600,000 right now,\" he said. He also said there were no change orders presented for approval at the meeting and that the team had secured a credit change order of more than $11,000 for certain kitchen equipment trade-offs.

Board members saw photos Doyle provided showing the kindergarten wing, music suite and computer lab, the new atrium area where demolition and shoring had been extensive, the restored lower-level mosaic and cafeteria. Doyle said some gymnasium window work will be done over the summer and that equipment for the high school addition is on order and tracking on time.

The update concluded with the board taking no immediate action; the presentation was an informational update on construction progress, schedule and outstanding finishing items.

The district will continue to monitor balancing and punch-list items through March and complete summer-window work as scheduled.","SiteLogic representative Dan Doyle told the North Hills Board of Education that Westview Elementary has reached substantial completion, with remaining work — auditorium finishes, gym controls and HVAC balancing — expected to finish by mid-March. The project paid out roughly $33 million so far, with about $600,000 remaining to prime contractors.","actionData","errors"]
