Board approves consent agenda and assistant coach; gym-wall bid draws questions about unknown brick-replacement costs
Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda and named John Jandrin assistant middle-school track coach. Staff recommended awarding a $97,355 bid to repair the high-school gym wall but trustees questioned wide price differences and possible extra costs for brick replacement; a final decision on the contractor was not recorded in the public discussion.
The Sturgeon Bay School District Board approved its consent agenda on March 18, including minutes, bills and multiple donations, and confirmed several personnel items.
The consent agenda passed on a motion by Commissioner Spritka and a second by Commissioner Jenner John; the board recorded the motion as carried. The consent items included several donations to the Sunrise Clubs and other school programs and permission to retain early college/start-college-now items on the agenda as an annual authorization (no students are currently enrolled under that program).
In personnel votes, the board approved John Jandrin as assistant middle school track coach at TJ Walker after a motion by Commissioner Hos and a second by Commissioner Star; the motion carried.
Gym wall bids and remaining questions: District staff presented the results of a competitive bid for the high school gym wall restoration. Three formal bids were cited: one for $237,900, Masonry Restoration for $114,925, and Stats Restoration (STS) for $97,355. Staff recommended awarding to STS at $97,355 and moved to do so. Board members probed a large discrepancy between the low and high bids, asked whether brick replacement would be included or would add to the cost, and recommended including contingency funds for unknown replacement brick costs. Staff acknowledged that brick replacement typically is an additional, variable cost and recommended budgeting for a contingency.
The meeting transcript includes a motion and second to award the STS bid; the public record in the transcript does not show the final roll-call outcome for that specific motion during the portion provided. Staff indicated funds had been projected for wall repair in budget planning and noted the condition likely dates to the early 2000s when the wrestling/warm-up room was added.
