Summary

The board approved Hutton GMP 1D, a proposed 8,400-square-foot storage building estimated at $440,000 to store materials for phases 2 and 3 of the bond project; approval passed 7–0 with an anticipated contractor start in November and completion near the new year.

Bond representatives presented GMP 1D for a new metal storage building to be sited in BJ's yard to hold materials for upcoming bond phases. The presenter described the building as approximately 8,400 square feet (60 by 140 feet) with 16‑foot sidewalls, five overhead doors, man doors, sheet-metal siding and interior liner panels.

"Our overall number was 440,000, and that fell under our $450,000 budget that was originally, estimated," the presenter said, describing inclusions such as earthwork, site grading, drainage, gravel around the structure and a footing slab on grade.

The schedule presented called for a contractor start in November with completion around the first of the year. Board members discussed long‑term storage needs and noted that putting equipment inside a shed would lengthen the life of some items.

A motion to approve the Hutton GMP 1D storage building was recorded (mover identified as Jennifer and a second by Jeremy Ford) and the board approved the item by voice vote, 7–0.

Why it matters: approving the GMP advances construction work funded by the bond program and provides covered storage for district equipment and materials scheduled for subsequent bond phases.
