Discussion:
Superintendent Purdy informed the board members that an inspection had been done on the building except for the pool. A commercial pool inspector would need to do that inspection. This contract would be for the building, the playground, and the parking lot only, not any of the surrounding land.
The board members had several questions including what would be the immediate plan for the building, what are the major upfront costs to acquiring the property, how quickly could the schools start using the building, was an appraisal done for the Salyer land property, does the equipment and lockers come with the building, would a survey be sent out to staff members to see what they would like to see it used for, would there be someone on site at all times, and how quickly would there be a final decision on the pool. Superintendent Purdy did her best to answer all the questions and stated overall the District could benefit from the building right now without even considering the pool. |
