Facilities committee highlights bond referendum outreach, schedules open houses
Summary
Board facilities committee members said capital-project planning and a bond referendum remain the “hot topic.” Committee members noted recent meetings and three upcoming open houses, including one in Monticello, to engage taxpayers and share details if the referendum proceeds.
Facilities committee members told the board that the district’s capital-project plan and a potential bond referendum are the committee’s top priorities and noted outreach events this week.
At the facilities update, a committee member said the committee reviewed capital-project planning with district facilities staff and that the bond referendum is “the hot topic.” The committee reported an open-house schedule for community engagement, including an event in Monticello, to share details with taxpayers and answer questions.
Why it matters: a successful bond referendum would fund capital projects across district facilities; committee members said considerable behind-the-scenes work is underway to prepare for potential projects and to plan for implementation if voters approve the measure.
The facilities committee said it met with district facilities staff to “catch us up on a lot of things that are happening around the district,” and confirmed a schedule of open houses to present project details to the public. Committee members urged community members to vote and participate in the outreach events.
No formal referendum question or vote appeared on the board agenda at this meeting; committee members characterized current work as planning and outreach in advance of a potential vote.
