Architects outline $23 million no‑tax‑impact proposition and field options for December referendum
Summary
Young & Wright and project managers presented current capital work and a conceptual December 2026 referendum. They described a $23,000,000 Proposition 1 with no additional tax impact to finish elementary renovations, plus optional propositions for sports facilities and other upgrades; board members discussed timing, maximum cost allowances and field configurations.
Architects and district project staff presented progress on current capital work and a conceptual plan for a December 2026 referendum that would fund remaining renovations and optional athletic upgrades.
Ashley Jewett of Young & Wright introduced the team and turned the presentation over to project staff. David Water and Sarah Wilder reviewed active work (roofing, parking, GLP renovations) and schedules for bidding, construction and closeout. The consultants described a potential two‑proposition referendum. As presented, "it looks like it's gonna be no cost tax impact, a flat project for $23,000,000 with no tax impact, I should say," the architect said when discussing a conceptual Prop 1.
Board members questioned sequencing, maximum cost allowances and the tradeoffs among options. The team described three options for sports facilities — a full multi‑field turf configuration with lighting and fencing, a combined smaller footprint to save cost, or a mid‑range option — and noted that field choices affect tax impact and community use. Consultants and board members emphasized the importance of capturing needed work now because maximum cost allowances and reimbursement opportunities can reset; one board member warned that deferring work can raise costs dramatically in future years.
The presentation closed with a recap of next steps: additional board presentations, legal notice timelines, and continued planning ahead of the December vote.
