Summary
Trustees approved using up to $35,000 of district funds to complete the outdoor restroom and concession remodel at the high‑school athletic field, supplementing booster club contributions and directing staff to consider more durable exterior finishes.
The Emmett Independent District board authorized up to $35,000 in district funds to complete the outdoor restrooms and concession‑stand project at the high‑school athletic complex.
Background: At a previous meeting the board approved up to $35,000 for the project; staff clarified at Wednesday’s meeting that part of the scope would be funded by booster‑club contributions. District staff presented a formal bid for the restroom work and requested board approval to proceed.
Funding and scope - The booster club committed $16,000 toward the concession‑stand phase; staff presented a restroom bid that, with a later modification to add an additional female stall, came in higher than the original restroom estimate. The board approved up to $35,000 in district funds to complete the restroom portion and related work. - Trustees asked staff to examine longer‑term durability options (for example, metal siding instead of T1‑11) while the walls are opened for remodeling so the work will age better and require less frequent upkeep.
Next steps: Staff will finalize construction specifications and return procurement details. Trustees directed operations staff to investigate options and costs for more durable exterior materials as part of the current project so the district can weigh life‑cycle costs before construction begins.
What’s next: With board approval staff will issue the purchase order and coordinate booster‑club and district funds to complete the restrooms and concession remodeling before fall events.
