Board approves gas and utility easements for Lee Martinez Elementary; staff outlines infrastructure and future HS#2 plans
Summary
Trustees approved an Atmos reimbursable agreement and an Encore easement to provide natural gas and electric infrastructure for Lee Martinez Elementary; staff said the work will also prepare the site for future High School No. 2 and will require minor cafeteria equipment adjustments for conversion.
Board members approved two easement actions related to Lee Martinez Elementary: an Atmos reimbursable agreement and an Encore electric easement. Staff described the Atmos arrangement as a "reimbursement agreement," explaining the district will pay costs and any leftover funds will be returned, and noted easement exhibits in the agenda packet showing gas‑line routing. "We would like for the board to approve the infrastructure for Lee Martinez," a staff presenter said, and trustees approved the motions by voice vote.
Staff said the gas installation will support current campus needs and future build‑out for High School No. 2, but the project will require minor cafeteria conversions (orifice changes) and coordination with AC units. Trustees also discussed a nominal $10 easement payment for right‑of‑way documentation. The meeting included a broader facilities update: staff reported that concrete work on the modernization is advancing quickly and that a construction manager at‑risk (Joris General Contractors) was recommended for High School No. 2 following RFQs and interviews.
