Committee addresses widespread roof leaks, plans spring roof maintenance and deferred trailer removals
Summary
Following heavy rains the district has reported numerous flat-roof and field-house leaks across schools; the committee plans a comprehensive spring preventative maintenance contract and agreed trailers at Buckeye and a Mel Ridge/Melbridge site should be removed when school is out of session.
Speaker 2 told the committee that heavy October and November rains produced a "plethora" of roof leaks across district campuses; about 90% of the leaks have been attended to, with a few outliers awaiting suitable weather for repairs. Speaker 2 identified flat roofs at Riverview and Parkside with specific trouble spots: a gym drain leak at Riverview and a leak above Room 256 at Parkside. "We have flat roof issues," Speaker 2 said, and described ongoing flashing and localized repairs.
The field house has a metal screw-down roof; Speaker 2 and Speaker 1 discussed that surface screws and worn grommets can allow water penetration and that caulking screw heads could be an interim remedy. Speaker 2 said the district will prepare a comprehensive spring preventative-maintenance proposal with Roberts Roofing for more permanent work.
Speaker 1 raised the issue of modular classroom trailers at Buckeye and at a site mentioned in the transcript as "Mel Bridal/Mel Ridge/Melbridge" (transcript spelling inconsistent). Two contractors provided removal quotes (roughly $16,500–$17,800). Committee members agreed trailer removal should wait until after the school year because the units are still used for storage and classroom space.
Speaker 2 also gave counts of recent leaks by building (Buckeye: 3; Melbridge: 1; "Lumouth"/unclear: a couple) and noted several athletic fields (Buckeye, the high school, and a site transcribed as "Lehi") have field leaks that need attention.
Next steps: Facilities will draft a spring roofing PM proposal for committee review; trailer removal will be scheduled for after the school year when units are no longer required for storage or classroom use.
