North Cape board approves multiple facilities projects, discusses roof replacement and gym schedule
Summary
The North Cape School District board reviewed roofing assessments and approved several maintenance purchases from committed funds, set an August 11 gym-floor installation date, and approved HVAC and well work; one roofing quote was moved for approval conditional on timeline.
The North Cape School District Board of Education on July 21 reviewed a series of facilities and maintenance items and moved forward on several purchases to be paid from committed funds.
In a discussion prompted by recent assessments, board members heard that the primary-wing roof has exceeded its expected life and shows cracking, deteriorated flashing and areas where rubber roofing is pulling away. Contractors Pioneer Roofing and SRS inspected the roof; Mr. Kandler (on the phone for the facilities update) and a staff member identified as Harvey recommended addressing visible cracking and considering broader replacement rather than repeated spot repairs. The board was told about about 140 linear feet of flashing showing problems and that core samples were taken in 2018 to determine roof composition. Keith Jacobson moved to approve Pioneer Roofing quote option 2, conditional on the work being completed before the 2025–26 school year and funded from committed funds; the motion was seconded by Ryan Menken. The minutes record the motion and second but do not include an explicit vote tally for that motion.
The board set the gym-floor demolition and installation date for Aug. 11 so work will be complete before the start of school. Contractors Peck and Weiss reported that three new gym fans were installed, basketball hoops were wired to keys, and cafeteria fans were updated with speed controls and reversible operation; asphalt contractors completed crack sealing and repairs to previously patched areas.
Following a report that a 13-year-old furnace/AC unit failed (shorting a fan and affecting control boards), the board approved replacement of units in the guidance office, middle-school hallway and a special-education classroom. The motion to purchase these replacements from committed funds, with installation by vendor All Pro and possible partial reimbursement through the Focus on Energy program, was moved by President Dan Hying, seconded by Ryan Menken, and recorded as carried by supermajority.
The board also considered and approved a well-service quote (motion by Ryan Malchine, second by Keith Jacobson); the minutes note the approval but do not provide a detailed vote tally. Several approvals were explicitly recorded as carried; in other instances the minutes record the motion and second but do not list a roll-call vote.
The meeting concluded with administrative routing of committed funds for the approved projects and continued coordination with vendors to meet the timeline requirements for school start.
The board adjourned at 6:30 p.m.
