Facilities director outlines summer projects, deferred‑maintenance plan and solar work for MJUSD
Summary
Doug Trauer, director of buildings and grounds, told the Marysville board the department completed more than 2,000 work orders this year, plans summer roofing, kitchen and track projects, and expects to finish solar installations at Cedar Lane and Foothill with battery backup.
Doug Trauer, the district’s director of buildings and grounds, gave a detailed overview of facilities work for 2024–25 and a five‑year deferred maintenance plan.
Trauer reported the maintenance, grounds and custodial teams completed “over 2,000 work orders” between June and May. He itemized in‑house projects (stadium barbecue rebuild at Marysville High School, Ag Barn remodel, batting-cage repairs, restroom installations at preschool sites, new sinks and countertops at multiple sites) and contracted projects (HVAC and fire‑alarm upgrades, window replacements, portable installations and roofing jobs). He also highlighted safety improvements: a new entrance buzzer at South Lyndhurst and upgraded fire alarms at Marysville High School.
Planned summer work includes library remodeling, roofing, siding and trim replacement, a kitchen remodel at Foothill funded through nutritional services, and track resurfacing with sod to follow. The presentation also listed portables being installed at multiple sites and completion of an updated science lab and playground projects, including two inclusive playgrounds.
Trauer said the district is installing solar at Cedar Lane and Foothill, with battery backup at Foothill, and is progressing on a fiber-optic install for preschool sites. He described the five‑year deferred maintenance plan as targeting flooring, windows, HVAC, asphalt and roofing replacements.
Numbers and transcript notes: Trauer described staffing counts (14 maintenance members) and gave a custodial-staff figure that is unclear in the transcript; that custodial number is not presented clearly on the record and therefore is not stated here as a precise figure. He also said projects over $70,000 generally go out to competitive bid under the district’s procurement plan.
What happens next: The board thanked Trauer for the work; no action was required. Implementation of the summer projects and deferred maintenance will proceed under the facilities department’s schedule and existing procurement rules.
