Business committee accepts Myron Construction scope to support facility study; updates on Washington Soccer Complex and donations
Summary
The business services committee recommended and the board approved a scope/fee proposal from Myron Construction for a facility study and referendum support, contingent on future construction management contracting; the board also heard updates on the Washington Soccer Complex improvements and recent donations to district projects.
The Board approved a business services committee recommendation to accept a scope summary and fee proposal from Myron Construction. Myron presented high‑level floor plans, a construction timeline and budget work to support a district facility study and community referendum effort; the vendor said initial fees would be waived contingent on the district later contracting Myron for construction management services if a referendum is successful.
John (Business Services committee chair) reported that Myron will provide community engagement, outreach and graphic design and that the fee waiver depends on a later construction management agreement tied to a successful referendum. The recommendation was approved by the board.
Committee members also received a presentation on the Washington Soccer Complex: a local group described the field’s history and outlined planned upgrades funded in part by grants and donations, including installation of LED lighting similar to the district Quadplex, a new scoreboard, expanded storage and a press box. Committee members noted recent playground and asphalt projects around district sites and received a summary of donations, including a $56,006.61 Legacy Foundation grant addressing period poverty.
Business services reported a modest upward pressure on district retirement costs—Wisconsin Retirement System rates were presented as increasing by 0.5 percentage points with an annual district cost increase estimate of about $88,324—and said the district’s Moody’s credit rating remains steady and described as “high quality and very low credit risk.” The committee suggested public education about school finance mechanics to help community members understand capital and operational financing and reimbursement rules.
The board voted to approve acceptance of the Myron proposal and received the project updates and donation reports; staff will continue facility planning work and community outreach related to any future referendum and construction management selection.
