Helix updates on HVAC, shop renovation and field lighting; theft reported at new welding shop
Summary
Board received a facilities update: new HVAC units installed at a cost of $18,296, shot‑clock outlets added, lighting estimates for the practice field and a welding shop renovation in progress; two people reportedly stole an air compressor from the shop and the theft was reported to the Umatilla County Sheriff's Office.
Superintendent Brad Bixler and staff reviewed several facilities projects and maintenance items. Gordon’s Heating and Cooling installed heating/cooling units for a total of $18,296. Gordon’s Electric provided an estimate to add lights to the south side of the K–12 building and installed additional outlets in the practice gym (shot‑clock outlets estimated at $1,224). The district is also evaluating underground sprinklers (estimated $11,250–$13,250) and shared documents about fire alarms for the Woodshop/Band building and a new agriculture building.
Brad reported construction at the new welding shop is progressing — plumbing roughed in and framing nearing completion — but that two people gained access to the shop and stole an air compressor from the framing contractors; the theft was reported to the Umatilla County Sheriff's Office. The Booster Club approved covering field lighting estimated at $5,300. The board recorded vendor invoices in the check register, including $31,712 to Kirby Nagelhout Construction for the welding shop work and $13,937.55 to Pye‑Barker for the fire management system.
