Summary

The committee reviewed multiple athletics and capital items: replacement swim lane ropes (~$5,000), proposed bleachers funded and owned by Five Points but primarily for WCHS use, and two budgeted equipment purchases (tractor and combi oven) that fall within approved allotments.

Staff told the Finance Committee that swim lane ropes will need replacement at an estimated cost of about $5,000; the committee discussed making a decision prior to installation during the summer.

Beverlin also reported Five Points is running a fundraising campaign for proposed swim bleachers; the bleachers would be owned by Five Points but primarily used for WCHS events. Separately, two budgeted equipment purchases — a tractor (via bid) and a combi oven (via cooperative purchasing) — were discussed and described as within approved budget allotments; the committee supported proceeding to bring those items to the full board for approval.

The minutes record that the first-floor classroom furniture quote has come in below budget as well. No formal contract awards or purchase approvals were recorded at the committee level in the minutes.
