District says campus windmill likely nonfunctional and may be removed
Summary
Superintendent Hannah Eastkins told the board the windmill installed decades ago appears to be leaning and likely no longer generating power; the installer is out of business and the district is exploring dismantling and disconnecting it.
Superintendent Hannah Eastkins reported to the board that an on-campus windmill installed years ago appears to be nonfunctional and is leaning, prompting consideration of removal.
Eastkins said staff have been unable to confirm whether the windmill is connected to the grid and noted, "Our windmill is bent. It's leaning at an angle right now. So we are exploring how to dismantle it and disconnect it." She added the installing company has gone out of business, complicating troubleshooting and support options.
The district plans to assess disconnection and removal options; no demolition date or contractor was specified in the meeting record.
