Staff outlines phased district office renovation; committee emphasizes HVAC replacement and code triggers
Summary
District staff presented a three‑phase renovation plan for the district office, proposing to use 8% renovation funds for phase 2 (superintendent/HR) now and to begin phase 1 construction in spring 2025; committee members urged framing the work as an HVAC replacement that triggers code compliance and asked for a multi‑year HVAC schedule.
District staff presented a multi‑phase renovation plan for the district office building and requested committee guidance on using 8% renovation funds for phase 2.
Phase 1 includes a secured reception area, fire‑sprinkler upgrades and other code work with construction targeted to begin April–May 2025; staff said ordering steel and permitting are the near‑term constraints. Phase 2 would convert large open office areas into conference rooms, HR and superintendent suites and would be funded with existing 8% renovation funds (staff estimated roughly $2.8M cost with $3.4M available in that fund). Phase 3 (finance area) will be proposed for future 8% funding.
Committee discussion focused on HVAC condition and the effect that replacing HVAC systems will have in triggering broader code and renovation requirements. Several members said the presentation should be framed for the public as an HVAC replacement project that requires renovation while staff noted the project already includes required HVAC and sprinkler replacements that make the broader renovation necessary. Staff said mobile classroom units are limited and expensive to relocate; they outlined temporary relocation plans for staff during construction and said they will provide a schedule for HVAC replacements districtwide as part of future 8% funding presentations.
