Administration outlines financing option to spread costs for multiple capital projects
Staff presented a financing option to avoid a single large draw from fund balance: proposals included a seven‑year note for a charter/activity bus (annual payment ~$70,000) and phased payments to cover an estimated $2.5M of other priority projects over 15 years with annual installments, pending formal specs, RFQs, and board consideration.
The full story
Administration presented a proposal to finance multiple capital priorities—charter/activity bus, roof repairs, farm remodel and an enclosed gym—by issuing notes and spreading payments rather than withdrawing the full $8.5 million fund balance at once. The presentation included an example: a $400–500K option for an activity/charter bus on a seven‑year note with an estimated $70,000 annual payment; the broader suite of projects was estimated at roughly $2.5 million with proposed phased payments (e.g., $125,000 year one; $130,000 year two).
