Facilities update: several summer projects complete; lift and pole‑barn work still pending

Lake Villa Community Consolidated School District #41 Board of Education · August 18, 2025

Summary

District facilities director reported Martin and Hooper projects complete; Palombi's handicap lift awaits final inspection and a required phone line, and Thompson's pole barn is delayed by materials and rain, postponing chain‑link fence installation for the LASSO program.

Director of Facilities and Security Blaine Sears updated the board on summer 2025 construction and maintenance projects.

Sears said projects at Martin and Hooper schools are complete. At Palombi, a newly installed handicap lift in the cafeteria is awaiting final inspection by Thompson Elevator Inspection Service and requires installation of a phone line for a distress signal before it can enter full service. At Thompson, the pole barn's post framework, studs and trusses are in place but work is delayed by materials shortages and rain; a chain‑link fence that ties into the pole barn for the LASSO program cannot be fully installed until construction is finished, so a temporary fence will be used in the interim. Other roofing and hardscape work across the district was reported as completed on schedule.

Sears said a final presentation listing all projects will be shared in October.
