Board approves $100,000 contribution from City of Enid toward school field-lighting project
Summary
The board approved an agreement to accept $100,000 from the City of Enid toward a $220,000 project to replace failing field lights; the city provided cash only and will not maintain the lights, the district said.
The Enid Public Schools Board of Education voted to approve an agreement with the City of Enid in which the city will provide $100,000 toward replacing failing field lights at district facilities.
The board approved the agreement after staff described the project as a $220,000 effort to replace failing lights; the city’s contribution covers roughly $100,000 of that total. The district said the city’s contribution is cash only and that the district will handle installation and future maintenance.
The motion to approve the agreement was moved by board member Tory Turnbull and seconded by Matt Lohman. The board voted unanimously with the following recorded: Matt Lohman — yes; Kim Tinius — yes; Randy Long — yes; Chad Mance — yes; Tory Turnbull — yes; Matt Sampson — yes. Two board members, Coral Little and Joe Blackwood, were absent.
District staff said work on the lighting replacement was already underway and that they expected the new lights to be operational as the installation schedule allowed. The district did not transfer maintenance responsibility to the city; staff said the district will invoice the city for the $100,000 per the agreement.
Less critical details: the project was described as already in progress and district staff thanked the city for the contribution.
