Greeley Evans School District 6 board approves resolution to pursue new administration building and certificates of participation
Summary
The Greeley Evans School District 6 Board of Education voted 6-0 to direct staff to finalize agreements for a downtown civic campus partnership with the City of Greeley, Weld County and private developers and to pursue certificates of participation to fund a new district administration building.
The Greeley Evans School District 6 Board of Education voted 6-0 on Aug. 11 to approve a resolution directing staff to finalize agreements enabling construction of a new administration building as part of a downtown "civic campus" partnership with the City of Greeley, Weld County and private developers. The board also directed staff to pursue certificates of participation as a funding mechanism for the project.
The resolution states the district's current Administration Building "no longer serves the needs of district employees, the community and the students we serve" and cites a facilities review that recommended full replacement rather than repair because of "significant defects." Board members said the civic campus concept has been discussed previously: the board received presentations on May 12 and again in a work session the afternoon of Aug. 11.
Board President Mash called for any additional discussion on the motion; none was raised before the roll-call vote. The motion was moved and seconded and passed with all six directors voting "Aye." No amendments to the resolution were proposed during the meeting.
The resolution directs district staff to "finalize all necessary agreements and documents to enable the construction of a new administration building in coordination with the City of Greeley, Weld County and private developers" and to "pursue certificates of participation as a funding mechanism for the construction of the building." Certificates of participation were named in the resolution as the financing approach the board directed staff to pursue; the board did not specify other financing details or an exact project budget during the meeting.
Board members noted the item had been discussed previously in public sessions and directed members of the public to the district's YouTube page for the May presentation and the work-session materials for additional background. The board did not set an implementation timeline or an effective date for construction in the resolution presented at the Aug. 11 meeting.
Because the resolution instructs staff to "finalize all necessary agreements and documents," future items are likely to return to the board for contract approvals and financing specifics; none were acted on at this meeting. The motion carries a roll-call record showing Directors Azari, Bentley, Campos Mizzy, Masch, Matthews and Norwood voting "Aye." The board clerk announced the motion "carries 6-0."
The board's action is limited to directing staff to proceed with agreements and exploring certificates of participation; it did not adopt any binding land swap, contractual terms, or final financing commitments at this meeting.
