Board approves contractor for Silvercrest seismic work, OSBA ballot resolution and travel request
Summary
The Silver Falls School Board voted to recommend Brokamp & Jaeger as CMGC for Silvercrest Elementary seismic rehabilitation, approved an out‑of‑state travel request for the boys volleyball club, confirmed Equity Committee members, and instructed staff to cast the OSBA ballot 'Yes' on Resolution 1 while marking other items as no action.
At the December meeting the Silver Falls School Board took multiple formal actions.
Seismic rehabilitation: After receiving a recommendation from district staff and the district engineer, the board voted to approve the recommended construction manager/general contractor (CMGC) selection for the Silvercrest Elementary seismic rehabilitation project. Jeff Alderman, who led the procurement discussion, said five CMGC proposals were reviewed and graded across eight categories; the evaluation team recommended Brokamp & Jaeger based on fees, approach and schedule. The board asked to review the evaluation worksheet and scoring metrics; staff uploaded the summary scoring to the board packet before the vote. A motion to approve the recommended CMGC award to Brokamp & Jaeger passed.
Student travel: The board approved an out‑of‑state travel request for the Silverton High School boys volleyball club (approximately a 12‑player roster). The coach said the trip is club‑funded through fundraising (no district money) and that required parental permissions, supervision plans and itineraries would be provided. The motion to approve travel passed.
Equity committee and OSBA ballot: The board approved the Equity Committee membership as published in the board packet. On the OSBA (Oregon School Boards Association) ballot the board moved to vote "Yes" on Resolution 1 and to mark other ballot items "No action." Board members discussed an OSBA dues schedule under consideration (a multi‑year increase); several trustees said they valued OSBA legal and training services while others expressed concern about future fee increases. The board directed staff to submit the ballot by the OSBA deadline.
No specific dollar contract was executed at the meeting; the CMGC selection authorizes staff to proceed with next procurement steps. The motions were carried by voice vote; the board did not record individual roll‑call tallies in the public transcript.
