Board weighs bleachers, HVAC and lighting rebates as part of long‑term facilities plan
Summary
Trustees heard updates on gym door quotes and potential gym lighting rebates, discussed bleacher replacement estimated near $1.96 million and debated interim HVAC fixes versus a multimillion‑dollar overhaul; staff will compile cost and timeline details for future decisions.
Board members and facilities staff discussed several pending capital projects and maintenance needs, including a locker‑room door quoted at about $1,100, a gym lighting replacement program with vendor rebates covering an estimated 55–75% of cost, and a bleacher replacement project estimated near $1.96 million. Staff said some rebate programs simplify administration and could materially lower net costs.
Trustees emphasized the need for a multi‑year capital outlay plan. Administrators noted HVAC replacement is a multimillion‑dollar undertaking and suggested interim, lower‑cost solutions (localized radiant heaters, fans, or targeted electrical work) while developing a long‑term replacement strategy. The board asked facilities to prepare detailed quotes, projected timelines (10–14 weeks for some items) and rebate calculations for future action.
