Board questions $1.7M summer‑projects assignment after updated cost estimates leave about $500K unneeded
Members said the district assigned $1.7 million for summer projects but that updated line‑item estimates (including press box and boilers) suggest roughly $1.2M will be needed; administrators will return with revised totals and recommendations for any reallocation to capital reserve or other uses.
The full story
At the March meeting board members revisited a $1.7 million assignment set aside for summer capital projects and said recent estimates indicate the list may total closer to $1.2 million — leaving about $500,000 of assigned funds that could be repurposed. One board member summarized the discrepancy: “that total of that list and the sides on the if there was any variance is less than 1.2 million... So there's a difference there than what we set aside in the general fund that's assigned. We set aside 1.7 million and we really are only going to need likely 1.2 million. So that brings up $500,000 that we have assigned in the general fund that we know we're not going to need.”
