Loading...
Summary
Director Reynolds briefed trustees on near-complete housing units for employees, a 23‑apartment allocation and an April 23 ribbon cutting; trustees discussed next steps for outreach to town and county officials and potential future projects.
Director Reynolds told trustees the district had completed construction milestones and is finalizing lease administration for the district's employee housing project.
"We have 23 apartments that are available. The 24 units minus the unit we're holding back for recruitment..." Director Reynolds said, summarizing the lottery results, pending acceptances and timeline. He asked selected employees to accept by Friday so alternates can be offered and leases can be executed.
Reynolds reviewed the five‑year process that led to the project, including a staff survey (June 2021), a strategic housing study, voter approval for a $16 million SPED bond in 2022 and the district's later contract approvals for design and construction. He invited trustees to the ribbon cutting scheduled for April 23 at 4 p.m.
Trustees suggested outreach to the town council and county commission to highlight the project's success and to begin planning for subsequent housing phases; staff confirmed invitations to local elected officials will be issued and that a communication plan is in development.
What happens next: staff will finalize unit assignments, execute leases for accepted applicants, and move forward with steps to operationalize property management and lease administration ahead of move-in.
