District orders feasibility study for radio station as site ownership shifts
Summary
Technology staff told the board the district radio transmitter site is in transition, has had an accidental outage, and staff recommend an engineering feasibility study to assess options and insurability before committing to the site or alternatives.
Technology staff briefed the board on a feasibility study to evaluate options for the district radio station after the property that hosts the transmitter entered a transition of ownership. "The property is currently in transition," the technology staff said, and noted the site had experienced an accidental outage over a recent weekend that required equipment replacement.
Staff said the feasibility work will identify options for maintaining the station and quantify costs for relocation or remediation, including insurability concerns tied to equipment and site stability. The board asked clarifying questions about whether the station could remain on the current site and whether insurance would cover future outages; staff said they would bring costed options to inform a decision.
