Board reviews capital plan and discusses athletic facility proposals
Summary
Board reviewed a capital plan citing recurring maintenance ($550,000), facilities/equipment replacement ($150,000) and a total capital plan figure of $2,089,000; members discussed estimated costs and design choices for proposed batting-cage/pole buildings and separated safety/security funding.
District staff presented the proposed capital plan and several athletic facility concepts.
The presentation listed recurring capital maintenance of $550,000 and facilities improvement/equipment replacement of $150,000 within an overall capital-plan figure cited in discussion as about $2,089,000. Board members reviewed photos and an estimate (cited by staff) of about $225,000 for a batting-cage/pole-building approach taken by another district (Clinton High School). Members discussed construction types (steel structure versus pole building), storage, netting, and the potential to collaborate with athletics and maintenance on project oversight.
Board members asked whether safety and security upgrades discussed earlier in the year were covered by this plan; staff confirmed the high-school safety/security project funding was separate from the items listed in this capital plan. The board moved and approved the capital plan as presented; members asked staff to gather additional price comparisons and local project examples before proceeding with large athletic projects.
