North Campus community center moves forward after county matching grant and DSA submission
Summary
Board members reviewed renderings and project timing for a North Campus community center, told the district has a $630,000 baseline budget and a $100,000 county matching grant already secured, and were told plans were submitted to the Department of State Architects for review. Staff said bidding could begin in January with construction possible next spring.
The Loma Prieta Joint Union School District on Monday updated trustees on plans to redevelop an old kindergarten building as a community center on North Campus, saying design plans have been submitted to the Department of State Architects and a $100,000 county matching grant is in hand. Staff presented renderings and described shared uses including office space for the Loma Prieta Community Foundation and a sheriff's presence intended to improve safety and allow broader community use.
Board member (Speaker 8) credited county support for helping close a funding gap, saying the county's contribution "helps us recently secure a $100,000 matching grant that will allow our district to complete a project that we have been attempting to complete since the fire of 20 17." Staff said the current project budget is about $630,000 and that Department of State Architects review could take about six weeks; they described a 48-kilowatt generator in the design to support resiliency functions like cooling or charging during outages. Trustees discussed pursuing resilience grants and PG&E resiliency programs to extend funds and noted that no formal board action was requested at this meeting.
Speakers (by first appearance): Board member (Speaker 8); Staff member (Speaker 1); Board member (Speaker 5).
