Committee members voted on motions covering athletic‑field repairs, a five‑year garbage contract, consultant invoices and several capital project steps.

Votes at a glance

- High School South track repair: Committee moved to accept Miller Sports Construction’s $8,000 proposal for long‑jump/runway repair, with $6,000 identified as a private donation to cover most of the cost; motion carried by committee vote.

- Garbage contract (five years): Committee recommended Waste Management as the lowest bidder and to award a five‑year refuse and recycling contract with a total contract price reported as $838,573.92 over the five‑year term; motion carried.

- CHA invoices: Committee recommended payment of CHA invoices (items a–d); motion carried.

- High School South field house equipment: Committee recommended payment No. 3 to Scranton Electric Heating and Cooling Service for $28,226 for progress work on the field house boiler/hot‑water heater replacement; motion carried.

- JT/High School boiler and hot‑water projects: Committee recommended issuing a notice to proceed on the JT boiler and hot‑water heater replacement project (move to proceed to next steps); motion carried.

- JM Hill flooring (abatement): Committee recommended awarding the abatement portion to Shade Environmental for $63,900 for JM Hill flooring abatement under the environmental cleanup grant; motion carried.

- North Bus Depot: Committee recommended proceeding with Option 3E (addition and upgrades to the existing auxiliary building, rough estimate ~$125,000) and referred the recommended option to the full board; motion carried.

Where numbers or details were not specified in the motion language presented to the committee, staff supplied the contract totals or grant references during discussion. Several motions were described as \"recommended\" to the board; formal contract awards and payments will follow the district’s procurement and board‑approval processes.

The committee’s actions also noted external grant support: several capital projects discussed during the meeting (boiler replacements, data cabling and a floor environmental cleanup) had received partial funding via state DCED grants, which was cited by staff as reducing the district’s share of project costs.

All motions recorded in the meeting were passed by the committee and forwarded as recommendations; where the committee cited donor or grant funding, staff said that those sources will offset the district’s expenditures. The committee did not publish a roll‑call vote with named individual tallies in the meeting transcript; minutes will record the official board actions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","ESASD Property & Facilities Committee Meeting (April 2)","oneSentenceSummary","The Facilities Committee recommended several motions to the full board: approve track repair funding with a donor contribution, award a five‑year waste contract, pay vendor invoices, authorize a boiler/hot‑water notice to proceed and choose a contractor for JM Hill flooring abatement.","taxTitle","East Stroudsburg Area SD, School Districts, Pennsylvania","taxId",67504,"location","Pennsylvania","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6090773,"East Stroudsburg committee backs $125,000 upgrade to North bus depot lounge and bathrooms",744,2166000,2910000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2865888-43d84f3527bd3e4e767bfa0681cdf157&start=2166&end=2910","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2865888-43d84f3527bd3e4e767bfa0681cdf157/thumbnail_2166000.jpg","/articles/6090773/Pennsylvania/East-Stroudsburg-committee-backs-125000-upgrade-to-North-bus-depot-lounge-and-bathrooms","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6090773-5e1f7a05fb5959ef7db4d848be0820bc/orig.mp4?Expires=1776586140&Signature=KONLVpJv6LIIOnmOoKKFXohBlzKYIJ9Om~TRF2QHUcjoIKskS6h~s7kSFTqMNsZD9RX~ekA2x13IgcQYiupW~Guc8j7yFQJ6IOqQWdAKGRBJa~k6EymajFQ2d3zlb1AHGuEGpiEp8o2T2Ga2Fb1HGzF11t1IfsBCd8SobW05VvWgQ7as0Gy9Q3eiXsoOukz96mrvsVjmo6O1GoGDLV9TL6FM--PPNQQcohLBqPHDadCFZ86BK8gAdS5qHxH7JQMiriYQ~Yc2ksbU-TC5fUG400uAHHss6AtP0IN4nO1jA1YH6wMXzD-5tUAfZnt63PJUPj0~zyrvNqosHEvSgy8Kdg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The East Stroudsburg Area School District Facilities Committee on April 1 recommended moving forward with a roughly $125,000 permanent addition and interior upgrades to the district’s North Bus Depot to provide a bathroom, storage and an enlarged lounge for dispatch staff and bus drivers.

The committee discussed multiple options for the site — from building an entirely new 1,200-square-foot structure at about $600,000 to buying modular buildings at about $190,000 — before settling on a smaller, permanent addition to the existing auxiliary building. Daryl (staff member) and Josh (staff member) described the roughly $125,000 figure as a preliminary contractor estimate for constructing an addition that would include a restroom, a file/storage room and a larger, finished lounge that connects to the existing building.

Committee members said the plan will reduce daily disruption for dispatchers and drivers who now must walk outside to use a restroom or to access other work spaces. The committee also discussed operational trade-offs such as converting part of the existing garage to office/lounge space and the implications for vehicle maintenance: if the back half of the garage is repurposed, maintenance work would continue at the South lot until a long‑term garage solution is built.

Members emphasized a phased approach. The committee previously approved a separate, smaller $7,000 upgrade to the front lounge area that can be completed quickly; the $125,000 addition would be pursued as the next phase so drivers have an improved short‑term space while the longer construction proceeds. Committee members said the restroom work would be scheduled first, and additional lounge work would follow, with the goal of minimizing construction during the school year and completing larger phases in the summer.

The committee noted alternative lower‑cost approaches (for example, a pole‑barn structure with interior finishing was discussed as a cheaper, but less permanent, avenue) but said the addition to the existing auxiliary building would better meet the district’s long‑term needs. Josh said the contractor estimate assumes direct connection to existing septic facilities, which reduces hookup complexity.

At the meeting’s motions segment the committee voted to recommend “Option 3E” — the addition and upgrades at the auxiliary building with the roughly $125,000 estimate — to the full board for approval to proceed to design/bid. The committee discussed timing uncertainties tied to bids, material lead times and schedules; members said the work would be phased to reduce service interruptions and that a new full garage (if later pursued) would be scheduled separately.

The committee also discussed related facilities items in the same meeting, including roof, boiler and AV projects funded in part by state grants, and noted plans to return to the board with final cost estimates and an RFP process for the selected option.

The committee did not provide a firm construction start date; members said timing will depend on bid results, contractor schedules and material availability.","The Facilities Committee recommended a phased renovation of the North Bus Depot that will add an internal bathroom, storage and a larger lounge for dispatch staff and drivers; committee approved proceeding with an estimated $125,000 addition and will pursue multi‑phase work to limit disruption.","actionData","errors"]
