District reviews sewer-connection feasibility; engineers proposed to limit impact on playing fields
Summary
Frankford school officials told the board they received a feasibility-proposal from Kleinfelder Engineers to explore reconnecting the school to municipal sewer (and possibly water), with design options intended to avoid placing a pump station on the playing fields; financing options discussed include capital reserve and grants.
District staff told the board that the long-running discussion about connecting the school to municipal sewer has resumed and that the district has received a proposal for a feasibility study from Kleinfelder Engineers.
Staff described alternatives for pump-station siting and emphasized the need to avoid placing a large pump station on the upper field because that earlier design element was a major reason the district had previously opted out of the project. The feasibility work would analyze siting and technical options and estimate costs.
The staff member told the board the district has discussed how to finance the project and may use some capital reserve funds with county education department approval; grants and other funding opportunities were also identified as potential sources. The staff member said the district hopes to decide to move forward with engineering work by the December meeting to allow feasibility work and funding planning to proceed during the budget cycle.
No final financing decision or referendum vote was recorded in the public transcript; the staff member said a project referendum is possible depending on the chosen approach.
