Summary

Staff reported a June 22 ribbon cutting for new capital work but said the final wing remains unoccupied due to outstanding testing, balancing reports and inspections; three bids were returned for Community Project Funding work and a change order moved funds for the vacant wing.

Staff updated the board on capital projects, saying a ribbon cutting was held on June 22 that included residents and media coverage, but the facility has not been able to occupy the final wing.

The presenter said outstanding testing and balancing reports and building‑wide HVAC issues must be resolved before local inspectors will grant final occupancy. Staff also disclosed a change order to move funds within the project and said they submitted an application for Congressionally Directed Community Project Funding on July 6; three bids were received for potential work on the vacant wing.

Staff said they are working with vendors and finance and expect to return with a plan once inspections and the final business model for the wing are finalized.
