Board approves middle‑school softball scoreboard; sinking‑fund projects move ahead
Summary
Trustees approved Betsie Valley Elementary sinking‑fund submittals and a middle‑school softball scoreboard (the team will fund the board) and agreed to work on outreach for a sinking‑fund renewal millage while addressing disinformation concerns.
The board approved Buildings & Grounds recommendations to move several sinking‑fund projects forward and accepted a proposal to add a middle‑school softball scoreboard. Submittals for tile, roof colors and an awning at Betsie Valley Elementary were approved and measurements for summer projects (kitchen and bathroom remodel, and consideration of a shower option) were scheduled. Trustees agreed to act on the softball scoreboard the same evening because material timelines required prompt approval; the softball team will pay for the scoreboard and installation.
An ad hoc team composed of Trustees Campana and Egeler will develop outreach and education strategies for a sinking‑fund renewal ballot proposal. Trustees noted the request must be phrased as a "new" millage for ballot language even though it functions as a renewal, and said the committee will work to dispel disinformation and consider county coordination for public communication.
The motion to approve the scoreboard and the sinking‑fund submittals passed unanimously. No formal dollar amounts for the immediate projects were discussed in the meeting minutes; administration will return with project measurements and implementation schedules.
