Lucas Local board hears $50 million facilities scenarios, asks for funding details
Summary
Consultants from Garmann Miller and Bradley Payne presented estimated costs and timeline options for the district’s middle-school entryway and broader facilities needs based on a $50 million budget; trustees asked for an amortization schedule and more detail on tax funding options ahead of an August follow-up.
Lucas Local Board of Education members received a capital-plan update July 21 from consultants representing Garmann Miller and Bradley Payne, who outlined costs, timelines and funding scenarios for planned facility projects. Mr. Seiple of Garmann Miller reviewed estimated costs and a construction timeline for the middle school entryway project and said the firm will provide an agreement for services in August. Mr. Schall of Bradley Payne presented multiple facility scenarios and funding methods based on a $50 million planning budget.
The presentation prompted board follow-up questions about how the district would pay for projects. Visitor Mark Mayer asked a clarifying question to Mr. Rick Foss about supporting an income tax versus a property tax to fund the work. Board member Joe Strassell asked the administration for an amortization schedule for a proposed $20 million COPS project presented during the discussion. Facilities discussion was scheduled to continue at the August board meeting.
