Toms River outlines capital repairs and maintenance after referendum investments
Summary
District officials listed capital reserve projects in the proposed budget, including $675,000 for electrical switchgear, $500,000 for a partial roof replacement at Beachwood Elementary, transformer testing and $1 million for boiler replacements at Intermediate North, noting energy-efficiency gains from recent referendum work.
District operations staff reviewed maintenance and capital reserve items included in the proposed budget and noted that many referendum projects are complete, while a handful of large repairs remain.
Key projects listed included a $675,000 electrical switchgear replacement, a $500,000 partial roof replacement at Beachwood Elementary School, an estimated $125,000 for transformer testing and design work at High School East, and boiler replacements at Intermediate North estimated at about $1,000,000. Staff said the district has benefited from referendum-funded energy-efficiency upgrades and reported roughly $10.7M in energy-savings since an energy program began in 2012.
Administrators cautioned that maintaining 23 buildings and over 2 million square feet of space remains a major recurring cost center for the district and that conservative budgeting remains necessary.
