Board approves Henley Middle School locker room remodel after ADA-driven cost increase
Summary
The Klamath County School District board approved a revised contract for a Henley Middle School locker room remodel after officials said ADA compliance requirements raised the bid; the board was told the total cost is $1 million and will review related finances in January.
The Klamath County School District Board of Directors approved a revised contract for the Henley Middle School locker room remodel at a special meeting Dec. 3, after district staff said Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance needs significantly increased the project bid.
District officials told the board the total cost is $1,000,000; the transcript does not specify whether that figure is a final contract amount or an updated estimate. Board member Marc Staunton asked about potential effects on future projects, and Dennis Zullo cautioned that "it is difficult to speculate; eventually all buildings will have to be brought up to ADA requirements." The board was told more detailed financial information will be provided at the regular January meeting.
The motion to approve the remodel "I move we approve the Henley Middle School locker room remodel as presented." was made by Jill O'Donnell and seconded by John Rademacher. The board voted: Steve Lowell, Yea; Jill O'Donnell, Yea; John Rademacher, Yea; Marc Staunton, Yea. Brooke Kliewer was absent. The motion passed 4–0.
The outcome directs district staff to proceed with the remodel as presented; Director of Business Services Janet Melsness will include the Henley project in the January financial report for the board's review.
