Board authorizes bids for campus exterior painting; staff proposes pairing $50,000 TIF grant with reserve funds
Summary
Staff asked the board to open public bidding for a campus exterior painting project, explaining the request includes a proposed $50,000 contribution from local TIF funds and that the project could cost more than $80,000; the board authorized solicitation of bids and staff will return with results in April.
Staff described a proposed campus exterior painting project and requested permission to open the public bidding process to determine final costs. The presentation explained local Tax Increment Financing (TIF) receipts have diverted revenue away from the district in prior years and that staff sought a $50,000 contribution from the TIF to pair with building-reserve funds if bids are within budget.
Staff explained that the Whitehall TIF currently diverts roughly $141,600 in incremental tax revenue away from the district this year and said the district has received $50,000 from the TIF toward the proposed painting work; the request to open bids passed by voice vote. Staff emphasized bid solicitation does not obligate the district to proceed if returned bids exceed available funding and said they will return to the board in April with bid totals and a recommendation.
The board authorized advertising and public-bid procedures for the project; staff noted a public bid is required for projects estimated above $80,000.
