Facilities committee maps 5–10 year needs; Four Peaks demolition and land sales discussed
Summary
The board’s facilities committee presented a facilities master review covering preventive maintenance, land sales (Hawk and Aspen), preschool relocation, a Behavior Alley lease, and options for demolition and reuse of the Four Peaks school site; the board discussed capital prioritization and timing of land‑sale proceeds.
Bernie, chairing the facilities committee, presented the committee’s interim facilities master plan and a multi‑year view of capital priorities, urging the board to use proceeds from two land sales to address HVAC, roofing and preventive maintenance needs while recognizing the multi‑year nature of right‑sizing district facilities.
Key points: the committee documented excess capacity and recommended a 5–10 year planning horizon for capital projects; two properties (Hawk and Aspen) are expected to close later in the year and will provide capital receipts for prioritization. The preschool relocation is underway; part of the Dell Mountain facility needs modification, and the district has a lease for Behavior Alley to occupy half of a vacated site before summer.
Bernie outlined the Four Peaks facility’s constraints — plumbing, electrical, potential asbestos, and overall refurbishment costs — and said the committee is preparing an RFP and demolition contract. Board members discussed whether to remove the building to slab or to a lesser demolition level and emphasized working with the town on abatement, easements and utilities because the site abuts Four Peaks Park and other community assets.
Budget and timing: Bernie highlighted that sale proceeds are a beginning, not an endpoint, and that capital receipts should be matched to a prioritized list of projects. The committee also emphasized switching from break‑fix approaches to preventive maintenance tracking, referencing the uniform system of financial records as the accounting framework.
What’s next: the facilities committee will continue mapping capital needs, refine demolition scope and RFP language for Four Peaks, and return recommendations for prioritizing projects against land‑sale proceeds.
