District consultant previews 2026 facilities master plan, estimates $9.9M needs and state funding opportunity
Summary
Facilities consultant Bill Savage presented a preliminary 2026 master plan draft tied to Measure J and Proposition 2 requirements, reported a $9.9 million estimated need over a multi-year horizon, and identified $500,000–$700,000 in possible additional state modernization eligibility contingent on a district match.
Bill Savage, the district facilities consultant, presented the preliminary draft 2026 facilities master plan and explained it includes the state-required elements for Proposition 2 funding applications and leverages existing studies to reduce cost.
Savage said the master plan uses prior demographic and valuation work, inventory data from Hamilton Aitken Architects and bond-finance documents and includes capital planning worksheets and a deferred-maintenance schedule. He told the board the summary shows a “total estimated need of $9,900,000,” which would cover completion of Measure J projects, main-building modernization and deferred maintenance across a five- to seven-year horizon.
The consultant also reported updated state modernization eligibility that could provide an additional $500,000–$700,000 in modernization dollars for eligible work if the district contributes the required match. Staff said they plan to post the draft on the district website for community comment, bring copies to the town hall, and return an updated draft for board action in June (target June 23) after adding a capital plan with revenue expectations.
Board members asked what additional studies might improve state funding chances; Savage said facility assessments can help but are expensive and are not required elements for the state submission for small districts. The board directed staff to provide a redline of changes when the draft returns for approval so trustees can see what was edited between versions.
