District 99 outlines $3M-plus capital projects and proposes cloud-based camera system with a five-year subscription
Travis, presenting on facilities and capital planning, told the board the district has identified roughly $3,000,000 in possible projects that align with five-year financial projections. "We are presenting these as possible projects," he said, listing district-level needs (replacement of two aging driver education vehicles) and building-level projects: North High identified projects just under $500,000 (including auditorium remediation and pool-related items), and South High projects including a costly tennis-court remediation estimated to address drainage and surface issues.

Travis outlined health, life and safety work: a project to install 21 rooftop HVAC units and controls (controls initially quoted at just over $410,000), and remaining field-house flooring work estimated at just over $1,000,000 to be paid from working cash bond proceeds and the FY27 budget.

On security, Travis said the district maintains just over 400 cameras and is proposing a cloud-based analytics/licensing approach that would reuse existing camera hardware and add image-search and virtual-line alerting. The district did not receive a COPS School Violence Prevention Program grant and will reapply, he said. "That 5-year license, cloud subscription, would just be over $280,000," Travis said, noting the bid showed a savings of about $102,000 from an earlier quote. He described the subscription as a lump-sum, prepaid 5-year term that, if approved, could be installed and operational in February and allow time-limited camera access for first responders.

Board members questioned buckets for projects, drainage impacts on athletic fields and procurement timing. Travis said the security purchase was time-sensitive because of the discount and that any approval would come back to the board for consideration and formal action.

No capital project was approved at this meeting; staff will return with formal bids and recommended actions as items near realization and alignment with budget.
