Technology supervisor seeks $1,500 feasibility study for district radio (KRWL)
Summary
The district technology supervisor asked the board to fund a $1,500 feasibility study to evaluate options for the KRWL radio station, including relocating the tower to district property or changing licensing arrangements to improve reliability and insurance coverage.
Sean, the district technology supervisor, asked the board to authorize a $1,500 feasibility study to examine options for KRWL radio and the station’s tower, which currently sit on third‑party property that is in transition.
He said the study would cover engineering costs, licensing adjustments and the site work needed to move the tower if the board chooses that option, and stressed the study would also quantify costs of keeping the station where it currently is. Sean flagged insurance and reliability concerns tied to the tower being on non‑district property and said moving it to district land could secure the equipment and power source.
Board members asked clarifying questions about property ownership and the potential need for licensing paperwork; Sean said the study would return options and cost estimates to inform a board decision.
Next steps: board was asked to approve the feasibility study so staff can return with an evaluation and firm cost estimates.
