Board approves $3.05M lease‑leaseback for high school fields and field house
Summary
Trustees authorized a $3,052,372 lease‑leaseback construction contract with Roblin Contracting Inc. for Mountain House High School Southfields and a modest field house, pending Division of the State Architect approval.
The board approved a $3,052,372 lease‑leaseback construction contract with Roblin Contracting Inc. to build six acres of athletic fields and a small field house for Mountain House High School, pending DSA approval. Staff explained the negotiated land sale and developer contributions that increased the district's state construction funding by approximately $9 million.
Superintendent Nicholas described the lengthy negotiation with developers that yielded 19 acres for district use and noted the purchase‑sale approach increased state matching funds by roughly half the appraised value of the property. Trustees asked why the district uses lease‑leaseback contracts; Nicholas explained the structure helps the district manage cash flow while awaiting late state matching funds and developer negotiations. Trustees discussed scope questions (field house will include storage, three restrooms and a small snack area) and approved the motion by majority voice vote (5 ayes).
