Kenyon‑Wanamingo board approves $13.675M indoor‑air‑quality, life‑safety project and authorizes bond resolution
Summary
The Kenyon‑Wanamingo School District board approved a full‑scope indoor air quality and life‑safety project and voted to pursue general‑obligation facilities maintenance bonds with a maximum principal of $13,675,000. The vote was unanimous, 6–0.
The Kenyon‑Wanamingo School District board on July 28 approved a districtwide indoor‑air‑quality and life‑safety project and took steps to finance the work with general‑obligation facilities maintenance bonds. Board members voted 6–0 to approve the project scope described by SiteLogic and to adopt a resolution stating the board’s intent to issue bonds up to a maximum aggregate principal of $13,675,000.
SiteLogic staff told the board the on‑site review revealed two issues that expanded the original scope: “the sludge in the lines” and a 2020 code change requiring updated fire‑alarm annunciators. The presenter summarized the estimate for the full scope, saying, “This puts us up to the $13,209,008.12,” and staff and financial advisors recommended adding contingency and issuance costs to arrive at the $13.675 million not‑to‑exceed figure the board approved. Board members discussed amortization choices and household tax impact scenarios prepared by Ehlers, then moved and seconded a motion to approve the full scope (Option 3) and proceed with the bond resolution.
Board members and staff said the work would be staged to minimize disruption and noted that bids will be reviewed before bond issuance. The motion and the bond‑intent resolution were approved by roll call 6–0. The board directed administration to report back with bid results and final issuance numbers before bonds are sold.
