Summary

Board members said the district's bond committee has been meeting with more than 20 stakeholders to refine an architect's five-year recommendations; the committee aims to finalize costs by the end of September and recommend a bond amount to the full board with the goal of voting this year.

Members of the bond committee told trustees they have met multiple times with a broad group of stakeholders to review an architect's five-year plan and to add or remove projects based on stakeholder feedback. "We're then gonna have to finalize some of the costs on all those projects ... my goal is still to have a final amount by the end of September, to make a recommendation to the full board for possibly moving forward," a committee member said.

Committee members described meetings as productive: organizers said roughly 20 people attend each session, representing a broad set of stakeholder groups, and that debate has so far produced a consensus around priorities and items to defer. Board members thanked the committee for its work and acknowledged the timeline is aggressive if trustees wish to hold a bond vote this year.
