Salt Creek SD 48 reviews master facility plan, notes Elmhurst property closing and pre-referendum professional costs
Summary
The board reviewed a master facility assessment, acknowledged the district closed on an Elmhurst property, and approved professional services bills tied to pre-referendum work, including FGM Architects fees totaling over $650,000.
District leaders presented findings from a comprehensive facility assessment conducted with FGM Architects, describing priority life-safety items and a 10-year scheduled cost estimate of identified repairs and replacements. Superintendent Amy M. Zaher told the board that the district "closed on the Elmhurst property today." That purchase and the facility work inform the scope of the proposed bond referendum.
Board packet invoices show substantial pre-referendum professional services billed by FGM Architects, including charges identified as "Salt Creek SD48 Pre-Referendum Costs" totaling $628,407.40 and related professional services line items that together produced an invoice of $656,372.40. The board also heard about priority A and B life-safety items, some of which can be funded through operations and maintenance, while other projects are tied to Safe Schools-Secure Futures plans and potential bond proceeds.
