Board hears preliminary facility assessments; an early $91,000,000 figure cited
Summary
Consultants told the board that mechanical, HVAC and other assessments are coming in and early estimates are large; an initial figure of about $91,000,000 was cited for a center-field reduction option. The board scheduled a full presentation for the June meeting and adjourned to executive session.
Board members and consultants discussed incoming facility assessments and the board's meeting schedule for further review.
A presenter said the board had spent recent days with experts and engineers reviewing mechanical and HVAC assessments that are still being finalized. “We don't have the final numbers yet,” the presenter said, adding that the next time the assessment team and consultant JLL meet with the full board they should explain where the work stands.
On early cost estimates, the presenter said the initial numbers were “daunting,” citing an early figure for a center-field reduction option of about $91,000,000: “When you hear, oh, to reduce center field, it's only 91,000,000. We said, well, forget that.” The presenter said the board is still sorting through the assessments and that a fuller discussion is planned for the June meeting.
The board confirmed a cadence of meetings (another meeting on May 29, then a regular monthly cadence starting in June with a June 12 meeting planned). After wrapping agenda items, the board moved, seconded and took a voice vote to adjourn; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript and the board proceeded to an adjacent executive session.
The assessments referenced are preliminary; the presenter emphasized the numbers are not final and further explanation of underlying scopes and costs will come at the next, fuller presentation.
