Board reviews survey, hears $4–5 million estimate for proposed athletic complex

Colman-Egan School District 50-5 Board of Education · September 12, 2025

Summary

ISG's concept and survey for a proposed athletic complex—including a track and football field—carried an estimated cost of $4–5 million; the board discussed using up to $3.5 million in capital allocation certificates and the community support threshold needed to proceed.

Board members reviewed a concept survey for a proposed athletic complex produced with ISG. The consultant's concept estimate was presented in the $4 million to $5 million range for a track and football field with restrooms and concessions; the packet noted the district could use up to $3.5 million in capital-allocation certificates and would seek donations and in-kind contributions to help fund the project.

Board members discussed survey logistics and thresholds for action if the community response is marginal. One board member said they would want to see support comfortably above a bare majority; several others suggested aiming for a higher level of clear community backing before proceeding to construction. The board agreed to distribute the survey using the same channels as the prior bond communication and to revisit results at the next meeting.
