Board approves weight-room upgrades after debate over key-fob security
Summary
Trustees approved up to $50,000 in weight-room equipment and up to $21,000 for flooring, with discussion focusing on adding a key-fob access system to secure the facility and reduce unauthorised access.
Athletics representative Cory presented quotes for new racks, benches, bars and flooring and requested board permission to proceed with a roughly $50,000 equipment package and up to $21,000 for flooring. He said boosters and athletics groups had pledged approximately $10,000–$16,000 toward the project and described plans to improve supervision and custodial rotation.
Board members supported the upgrade but pressed for security measures: one trustee described the existing key situation as having “17 million keys” in circulation and urged a key-fob access system. Cory said a fob system would be a useful deterrent and estimated the additional cost at a few thousand dollars if pursued later. After discussion of supervision, keys and cameras the board approved the procurement and flooring quotes by roll-call vote.
