Board raises overspray concerns as district readies roof repair bids
Summary
Board members cautioned that coating or spray applications could drift into the parking lot and damage vehicles; members discussed past incidents and asked staff to consider precautions as the bid process moves forward.
Board members raised concerns about overspray and possible vehicle damage while discussing options for elementary-school roof work.
Dirk, the meeting chair, recounted prior instances where spray from a coating operation drifted into the parking lot and affected vehicles: "Some place sprayed and then their vehicle down in the parking lot and they drifted on and just speckled all these cars." He used the example of a "brand new Jeep" being speckled to underline the potential for property damage during application if contractors do not control overspray.
A district staff member discussed the expedited timeline for the work — saying contractors would need to start work promptly and finish before school starts — but the transcript does not record a specific mitigation plan or additional contract requirements to prevent overspray. The board approved issuing invitations to bid; the transcript does not show whether the bid documents will include explicit spray-mitigation specifications.
