2. Business
2.1 Facility Concept Discussion – Marty Johnson, District Architect, presented four strategies:
Strategy 1 is a two-building concept to walk away from Primary School. Prek-8 to Middle School is missing a second gym which would leave us as a two-gym district.
Strategy 2 - same as strategy 1 but he didn’t do the entry way at the High School. Instead he spent $2 Million at the High School towards air conditioning. This is a two-building scenario.
Strategy 3 - All money is going towards the Middle School K-8, with a gym. Not all life safety issues would be addressed at the Middle School.
Strategy 4 - Three building scenario, which includes:
o High school entry.
o Middle School - HLS complete
o Primary School – Put an addition on towards Irvine; adding kindergarten rooms, art room, and music room - just did courtyard and kindergarten rooms, and not gym at that time.
The goal was to create more strategies with the data Marty provided to narrow down what the Board wants. Money and plans go hand in hand.
The next two meetings are scheduled as follows:
September 15th – Regular Board meeting where they will discuss with the Board as a whole alternate bonds and what they are comfortable with
September 22 – Facility Meeting with Marty Johnson to look at alternative/additional plans and conceptual drawings to visualize some of the strategies presented.
2.2 Questions About Non-Referendum Bond Options – This will be talked about at the September 15th meeting with the full Board to see what everyone is thinking about regarding the money.
2.3 Future Meeting and Agenda Setting -
September 15th – Regular Board meeting with the full Board to discuss Alternate Bonds and what the Board is comfortable with.
September 22nd- Facility meeting with Marty Johnson to look at alternative specs.
3. Adjournment
