Board awards $750,600 Slade cooling bid, approves recreation mill levy and superintendent contract addendum
Summary
Trustees approved a bid for a Slade Elementary School cooling addition contingent on state construction funds, voted to continue the 1-mill recreation levy, and approved a superintendent employment-contract addendum that increases salary and extends the contract term; motions passed by voice vote.
At the June meeting, the Albany County School District No. 1 board approved several formal items by voice vote, including a construction bid for Slade Elementary School, the annual recreation mill levy resolution and an addendum to the superintendent's employment contract.
Slade Elementary cooling addition - The board approved awarding the bid for the Slade Elementary cooling addition to Climate Control LLC in the amount of $750,600, contingent on funds available from the School Construction Department (CAPCON), according to the presentation. District staff said equipment will be purchased immediately and installation is scheduled for summer 2026 if capital-construction funds are available. Administrators noted that retrofit costs could be materially higher if the district waits because new refrigerant requirements may necessitate a larger overhaul.
Recreation mill resolution - Trustees approved the annual recreation mill resolution continuing a 1-mill levy that the county collects for local recreation projects; the motion passed by voice vote.
Superintendent—s contract addendum - After an executive session, trustees returned to regular session and approved an addendum to the superintendent—s employment contract that raises base salary by $4,000 to $174,000 and extends the contract term through June 30, 2028. The motion passed by voice vote.
