Summary
Board members approved a late-added payment of $530,860.05 to Mike Becker General Construction and discussed owner-requested betterments of $1.3 million that contributed to a total Wildcat Center and Plant Operations purchase cost of $11.3 million.
The La Grande School District No. 1 board approved an additional payment of $530,860.05 to Mike Becker General Construction, citing owner-requested betterments to the Wildcat Center project.
Board discussion at the Jan. 8 meeting followed a presentation in which project representatives said owner-requested betterments totaled $1.3 million and that the combined cost for constructing the Wildcat Center and purchasing the Plant Operations building reached $11.3 million. Director Merle Comfort moved to add the payment to the agenda; Director Jake Hanson seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
The board added the payment as a late action after the public hearing closed. The motion record shows the board approved the payment without recorded opposition. The board did not vote on any offsets or alternative funding during the meeting. The board later recessed for an executive session and reconvened before adjourning.
