Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda 5-0, which included six School Facilities Board grant requests totaling more than $1.6 million and several facilities contracts and change orders for HVAC, cooling towers and sewer repairs.
The Catalina Foothill School District Governing Board unanimously approved its consent agenda, accepting multiple grant requests and contract awards and change orders that together add more than $1.6 million in expected capital funding.
During the consent-agenda vote the board approved six School Facilities Division Building Renewal Grant (BRG) requests that the superintendent said increase the district's capital funding by about 50% for the year. Specific items listed in the consent packet included the terms and conditions to accept monies from the School Facilities Division Building Renewal Grant Fund for BRG project number BRG007493 (replacement of an air-conditioning unit at Esperero Canyon Middle School, estimated $92,574) and BRG007499 (replacement of an air-conditioning unit at Esperero Canyon Middle School, estimated $40,759); a change order to Mid State Mechanical for additional repairs to underground sewer lines at Catalina Foothills High School in the amount of $44,169.65; an award to Tallinn Mechanical for replacement of Cooling Tower 3 at Catalina Foothills High School in the amount of $156,256; and an award to Johnson Controls for work at Ventana Vista Elementary School in the amount of $1,254,330.02.
Nut graf: The board noted that the district typically receives about $3 million a year in state capital funding, and that the approved grant requests add roughly $1.6 million in incremental capital support. Trustees thanked the facilities team for pursuing grant opportunities that augment the district's capital program.
Motion and vote: A trustee moved approval of consent items 3.1 through 3.13 as presented; a second was received and the motion carried 5-0.
The packet also included routine items such as minutes, expense vouchers, personnel actions, fundraising and field trip requests. No items were pulled from the consent agenda for separate discussion.
