Board debates April workshop as funding window and Wallace Group deliverable approach
Summary
Board members discussed scheduling a community workshop to review a 30% design from Wallace Group and weighed April vs. June dates given funding timing; staff said funding to advance to 69% design is not currently available.
Board members agreed to prioritize a public workshop in the weeks after Wallace Group delivers a 30% design and related 30-year cost estimate, with several members urging an April session if logistics allow. Director Poner (S2) told the board, "Wallace Group is slated to deliver their 30% design and 30 year cost of ownership on March 27 now," and said a technical subcommittee would review the materials first.
The board discussed calendar constraints and funding timing: one presenter said, "Best guess is we could see some funding at the beginning of next next fiscal year," and noted that without that funding the project cannot advance to a 69% design. Members debated holding a workshop separate from a regular meeting so feedback could be digested before a June decision; several favored late April to allow time for the technical review and outreach.
