Board reviews athletic-complex survey; concept estimate $4–5 million, district may use capital allocation certificates
Summary
The board reviewed an ISG concept drawing and survey for a proposed athletic complex; the concept lists an estimated $4–5 million cost and potential use of up to $3.5 million in capital allocation certificates plus donations and in‑kind contributions.
Board members reviewed a concept and survey for an athletic complex presented as a draft by ISG. Superintendent Scott described the concept as a starting point and said the project estimate was between $4 million and $5 million; the packet said the district could utilize up to $3.5 million in capital allocation certificates and would seek donations and in‑kind contributions to supplement the allocation.
Members discussed labeling the drawing "concept" on materials to avoid implying a final design, and reviewed outreach plans (mailing the survey, a QR code and school website notice). The packet proposed a response window with materials sent Sept. 22 and responses due by Oct. 9 to align with the board's next meeting. Board members debated what level of community support would justify moving forward — one member said they would look for support higher than a simple majority and mentioned 60% as a personal threshold — and staff noted statutory limits and valuation rules around use of capital allocation certificates.
Superintendent Scott said the $4–5 million figure came from comparable projects and was meant to provide a starting point for community feedback rather than a fixed contract price. The board agreed to send the survey with minor edits (labeling the drawing as conceptual) and to review results at the following meeting.
