Board hears finance update: construction bids, security system and improved revenue outlook
Summary
The finance report covered bid recommendations for an Eastern High auxiliary turf project (~$3.29M), an Ada Elementary project (~$9.08M), a proposed Motorola Solutions door access upgrade (~$1.98M), a $30,573.74 tax reimbursement, and budget amendments that increase projected revenues by about $3,000,000 and narrow an $8M deficit to roughly $5M.
A finance presenter reviewed the district's multi‑financial statements and a set of capital projects recommended for award.
The board heard that Eastern High School’s auxiliary turf bid recommendations total "not to exceed $3,288,497" from 26 bids and that an Ada Elementary renovation recommendation totals "not to exceed $9,077,465" with a two‑year timeline. The presenter also proposed upgrading door access control systems and recommended purchasing from Motorola Solutions for an amount "not to exceed $1,981,289," citing modern features such as real‑time monitoring, alerts for propped doors and lockdown integration.
On budget numbers, the presenter said updated revenue projections are about $3,000,000 higher than anticipated — in part because of increased student counts related to the JK program — shrinking a previously approved $8,000,000 deficit to a projected $5,000,000 with a projected year‑end fund balance of 16.2 percent.
The board did not take final action on all projects during this meeting but the presenter noted upcoming bids and an open house for construction work at Pine Ridge at month’s end.
