District seeks bids for $75,000 Ramble Inn ADA renovation and proposes bringing Mid Ohio staff in-house
Summary
Superintendent presented a proposal to seek competitive bids to renovate the Ramble Inn (estimated ~$75,000) to bring restrooms and locker rooms up to ADA requirements, funded by career-tech weighted funds, and proposed transitioning some Mid Ohio employees back into the district; board approved the items by roll call.
The Madison Local superintendent asked the board to seek competitive bids to renovate the Ramble Inn to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and to update doors connecting the cafeteria and the facility.
The superintendent estimated the project would cost about $75,000 and said career-tech weighted funds would be used to pay for the work. The scope described includes renovating a boys’ locker room and restroom, a girls’ locker room and restroom, and replacing interior and exterior doors to improve access.
The superintendent also proposed beginning a phased plan to bring several Mid Ohio employees back into district employment "at approximately the same cost" the district previously paid Mid Ohio for services, with additional work on pay indices still underway.
Board members discussed the restrictions that apply to weighted and other restricted funds and noted state rules require certain funds to be spent on specified purposes. The motions to seek bids and to approve the personnel transition were moved, seconded and approved on roll-call votes recorded in the meeting transcript.
The superintendent said further details on indices and staffing would be provided later; the district did not announce contract awards or contractor names at the meeting.
