Castleford trustees direct staff to seek bids to remove aging football light poles after high replacement estimates
Summary
Trustees discussed high bids to replace football light poles and agreed the district should gather formal bids to remove the old poles as a safety measure, citing concern that the poles could pose a hazard if left in place.
During old-business maintenance discussion at the Dec. 18 meeting, trustees said the bids the district had received to replace football field lighting were "very high," and they directed staff to pursue formal bids to remove the old light poles before an injury occurs.
The transcript records the board's safety concern but does not record a formal motion with a recorded vote; it states the board decided to start gathering bids. Because the transcript does not attribute the remark to a named trustee or staff member, the report presents the action as the Castleford School District Board of Trustees' decision.
Trustees also discussed general maintenance needs during the same agenda item. The packet included maintenance and building-care budget lines in the P&L pages, which the board had available for reference. The transcript does not specify contractor names, dollar figures for removal, or a timeline for removal; those details were not provided in the meeting record.
Next steps recorded in the transcript were for the board to begin gathering bids and for staff to bring formal bid results to a future board meeting for consideration.
