Board adopts updated capital improvement plan after cost savings, notes Evergy lighting incentive window
Summary
The board approved the district's capital improvement plan 6‑0, noting downward adjustments to an asphalt bid, an in‑house repair to Central High's public‑address system and a limited‑time Evergy lighting incentive that may affect future projects.
Salina Public Schools’ Board voted 6‑0 on May 13 to approve an updated capital improvement plan that district staff said includes recent cost savings and remains a “living document.”
Paul (presenter) told the board adjustments were made after a work session the previous month, including reduced estimated expenditures for an asphalt project; staff reported savings rather than higher-than-expected costs. Paul also said staff were able to repair the public‑address system at Central High “ourselves,” producing additional savings.
Paul noted that Evergy recently informed district staff of a three‑month window on increased incentives for lighting projects, and that the district may adapt the plan to pursue larger projects that would take advantage of those incentives.
A board member moved to approve the capital improvement plan as presented; the motion carried 6‑0. The board record indicates the plan will remain subject to adjustment as staff identify cost savings or incentive windows.
No detailed project schedules or financing breakdowns were provided during the open meeting beyond the adjustments discussed.
