Finance chair flags asbestos, rehashes food-service contract and playground needs
Summary
Finance and facilities chair Bostick told the board asbestos was found in parts of the gym/locker-room that will require remediation, noted the district must show the total for the Nutriser food-services contract on the agenda, and discussed replacing playground equipment to meet preschool needs.
Finance and facilities committee chair Bostick briefed the board on the committee92s July 10 meeting, saying members reviewed consent items and discussed several facilities concerns that will require follow up.
"Among the agenda topics discussed and consent items...we discussed audio which is number 10 now, and the Nutriser contract," Bostick said, adding state guidance requires the contract total to be included on the agenda. He also told the board the committee learned asbestos was discovered in dark sections of the gym and locker-room that will need remediation.
Bostick said item 11 concerns the Kindle School playground, which the committee concluded is not suitable for 395-year-olds and will need replacement or modification to meet the needs of younger students who would be served under an expanded preschool program.
Tax-levy payments to the district had not yet been received, Bostick said, and the committee is awaiting those checks.
Chair Bostick moved to approve agenda items 1 through 15; the motion was seconded and carried. During the roll call one member announced an abstention on item 12. The motion as presented at the meeting passed without further amendment.
Board members asked for clarifications on profit margins for the referenced program and on next steps for asbestos remediation; the board did not vote on asbestos abatement at the meeting and directed staff to report back with remediation options and cost estimates.
