CIP manager Herschel Workman presented the Properties Committee with a proposed CIP budget for the coming fiscal year totaling about $12.5 million, flagging several large projects and explaining which items are planning dollars versus construction work.

Workman said the ARC building addition (Phase 3) is currently proposed at $960,000 and that $100,000 is being allocated for master-plan-related planning and design. He listed an assisted-listening audio system at $50,000, Lapidary Club planning at $25,000, Palm Ridge swim-and-fitness flooring recently re-estimated from $173,000 to $225,000, and an RH Johnson platform-tennis renovation currently budgeted at about $305,000. He also described a Liberty Field outfield-fencing project that includes baseline fencing replacement with baseline costs at $550,000.

Workman noted some figures are preliminary and will be checked with contractors and returned with firmer estimates at a future meeting. Committee members asked technical questions about inclusion of steel in the ARC estimate, the scope of fencing replacement at softball fields, ADA compliance in shower and flooring work, and whether some projects belong under golf or other committees; staff clarified those allocation and scheduling points.

“ Our current proposed budget for CIP projects this year is at $12,500,000,” Workman told the committee, and he said several over-$50,000 items will be brought back in more detail in upcoming presentations.

Next steps: staff will refine contractor quotes and schedule projects into fiscal-year planning and return to the committee with updated estimates.
