Finance committee reviews capital payments and flags lingering construction defects at North site
Summary
The committee approved multiple capital payments and CHA invoices, reviewed gym floor repairs and project completions (including the East Stroudsburg High School North generator replacement) and discussed ongoing construction defects and legal follow-up on prior phases.
Committee members reviewed capital payments and invoices at the Dec. 9 session, approved listed payments and discussed persistent construction defects at the district's North site.
Properties & Facilities staff presented multiple invoices for approval including CHA professional fees and vendor payments across projects. Members reviewed a condensed capital payments chart and said several projects are nearing completion; staff noted the East Stroudsburg High School North generator replacement and phase 3 stormwater work were shown as 100% complete in the payment schedule.
The committee also approved two gym-floor repair payments tied to water damage at Smithfield Elementary and JM Hill: $12,004.08 and $3,009.88. Members asked whether roof issues that caused the leaks were being addressed; staff said roofing evaluation and follow-up are scheduled and that some roofs may be out of warranty.
A separate lengthy discussion focused on imperfect construction discovered in earlier phases at the North site. One member described prior construction and design problems that have created ongoing costs and said the district has retained an attorney to pursue remedies. Staff acknowledged the complexity of recovery and litigation timelines and said the district will monitor the court case and future repair-phase proposals.
Motions were moved, seconded and approved by voice for the listed CHA invoices, capital payments and applications for payment. The committee adjourned after completing its agenda.
