Trustees approve parcel-scoping services and retain four delivered HVAC units
Summary
Board authorized Resource Concepts to scope potential subdivision uses for district-owned parcels and voted to retain four already-delivered HVAC units for Jacks Valley Elementary rather than install them immediately.
The Douglas County School District board approved two professional-service agreements with Resource Concepts, Inc., to scope potential parcel subdivisions and zoning implications for district-owned property, including the playhouse/museum parcel and Jacks Valley Elementary. The scoping work is limited to feasibility, zoning, and process (whether public hearings will be required); it is not an authorization to subdivide or sell property and any future sale or disposition would return to the board.
Trustee Brady moved to approve both agreements; Trustee Zinkie seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. District staff said scoping will show whether the museum can be separated from adjacent parcels, whether the playhouse must remain with the museum, and what planning steps would be required should the board later pursue disposition.
On a separate facilities item, the board discussed a contract change order for ACCO related to Jacks Valley Elementary HVAC project management. Four HVAC units had already been delivered to the site; Willoughby reported the district’s estimated installed cost changed from an earlier savings figure and that the units could be held as district inventory, repurposed to other sites or included in a future sale. The board voted to take possession of the four units for the foreseeable future.
Trustees asked staff to return with a square-foot and hours-based calculation of potential operational costs attributable to the club lease and any facility-use impacts; they also asked Resource Concepts to return scoping outcomes with zoning and process guidance.
Speakers quoted "This is a scoping agreement. Any decision to subdivide would be a board decision," CFO Terry Willoughby said, explaining the scope of the Resource Concepts contracts.
Implementation and next steps Resource Concepts will meet county planning staff and prepare scoping reports; facilities staff will track the HVAC units as inventory and report back on allocated costs and any sale options.
