Wapsie Valley board hears plans for HVAC, lighting and auditorium upgrades; considers architects and track work
Summary
District and engineering consultants outlined HVAC, lighting and auditorium improvements and discussed hiring Martin Gardner Architects and Emergent for athletic track upgrades. No final procurement votes were recorded; trustees asked staff for next steps.
Wapsie Valley Comm School District trustees spent substantial meeting time on facilities improvements, hearing presentations on HVAC, lighting and auditorium upgrades and discussing options for athletic-track work.
Brian Stark introduced planned upgrades affecting the family and consumer science, art and music classrooms and the auditorium during the early work session. Later, Jesse Lizer of Emergent and Mike Brocka of Modus Engineering provided technical perspectives on the same set of projects, outlining needs and potential fee structures that would affect classroom and performance spaces.
The presentations emphasized system-wide HVAC improvements and upgraded lighting to support instructional spaces and the auditorium. Board members discussed procurement options and potential architects to lead design work; the board specifically discussed hiring Martin Gardner Architects for the HVAC project and considered engaging Emergent for athletic-track upgrades, but the transcript records no final procurement vote.
No dollar figures or contract terms for the proposed architect or track work were recorded in the meeting minutes. Board members asked staff to develop next steps and cost estimates so the board can consider formal procurement and budget approvals at a future meeting.
The board adjourned the second work session at 8:03 p.m.
