Director of Facilities Jeremy Lamoth presented a capital-improvement/maintenance list that the administration says should be managed separately from the recently passed facilities bond.

Lamoth said estimates assume a general increase in utilities and inspection costs and that recurring maintenance needs — paving, stair and railing repairs, loading-dock replacement at Grinnell, flooring, bleachers and fencing — are prominent on the list. "Some of the bigger ticket items would be the loading dock replacement at Grinnell, the stairs at the front end old front entrance at Hood and the railings associated to it," Lamoth said.

Superintendent Flynn explained the capital-improvement plan (CIP) differs from the bond: roughly $1 million of items were presented as proposed capital-improvement items and Flynn said about $750,000 of the proposed money would move directly into the CIP the administration is designing. "The bond does not marry anything in the capital improvement plan," Flynn said, describing the CIP as a 10–15 year planning horizon for maintenance that the bond may not address.

Ending: Staff said the CIP will be presented in greater detail to the facilities committee and fiscal advisory group; the administration intends to sequence work across years to avoid one-time spikes in operating requests.
