Board approves $1.85 million amendment for facilities master plan; referral to oversight committee for funding from Proposition 1

The board approved an amendment to the program management agreement with CSRS Tillage in the amount of $1,850,000 to prepare an updated facilities master plan with capital improvement recommendations.

Board member Carla Powell Lewis moved the item and a motion was made to refer the funding question to the oversight committee for consideration of Proposition 1 funds. Counsel asked for language authorizing the superintendent to take the funding request to the oversight committee; the board recorded that staff would request a meeting of the oversight committee and could ask the chair to convene a special meeting to consider the funding. Trustee comments included appreciation for CSRS’ prior work on deferred maintenance and requests for a crosswalk of capital needs into traffic and safety projects.

Board approved the amendment and staff will seek oversight-committee consideration of funding for the amendment from Proposition 1. The contract deliverables include a facilities master plan kept up to date through the 2027–28 school year, per staff remarks.
