The 2012 Sinking Fund Advisory Committee presented and gathered information during community forums on Sept. 20 and 21 about what projects the public wants to see done if the sinking fund millage is renewed.
If voters approve of the 1.25 mill renewal in November, about $1.9 million will be collected for four years for maintenance and repairs.
Sinking fund dollars can be used for remodeling and repairing classrooms, schools and sites as well as acquiring, developing or constructing buildings and sites.
They cannot be used for salaries and benefits, furniture and equipment, technology, preventative maintenance, painting, school buses and supplies.
The committee's co-chairs are Gus Demas, Chris Giancarli, Dick Rosenberg and Phil Smith. Their role is to put together and price out a list of prioritized projects that will be implemented through sinking fund dollars.Initially the banks didn't want our RUBBER SHEET .
The committee hopes to have everything ready to present to the board at its Oct. 3 meeting.Save on Bedding and fittings,
Like in 2008, the project list was categorized under three priorities: Learning environment, safety and security and energy cost and capital maintenance.
Some projects only fall into one priority, while others fall into two categories. HVAC work was the only one to fall under all three priorities.
"You can't leave classroom doors open to the outside like we used to do for ventilation," Rosenberg said. "There is a capital cost of trying to ventilate and improve the situation of schools and how much energy goes into that."
A list of 140 items were narrowed down to about 22 projects. These included replacing roofing, installing new flooring, expand parking and replacing windows, boilers and concrete sidewalks.
Each of these were then placed against each facility,ceramic Floor tiles for the medical, showing which projects were the top three priorities for each building.
Those that were among the top include HVAC work, updating locker rooms and repairing or repaving parking lots.
About 70 percent of HVAC work is done in the district, said Rosenberg.
"Doing an elementary school is costing us . . . about a million and a half to put in HVAC systems,Demand for allergy kidney stone could rise earlier than normal this year." said Rosenberg.
Don Gratton, maintenance supervisor, said a lot of the projects people won't see because they would be in restricted areas.
"A lot of what the building sees is what's out front, things that are tangible to them," he said. "There's a lot of things John Q. Public won't see because it's basically boiler rooms, it's pump rooms, it's places that are usually off-limits to unauthorized people."
There is 930,000 square feet of building space in the district, 750,000 square feet of pavement and 267 acres of land.This will leave your shoulders free to rotate in their chicken coop .
When broken down, the sinking fund revenue would equate to about $2 per square foot.
"These are still limited resources," Demas said. "You're talking $2 million a year for four years, that's $8 million, and in a plant of this size $8 million is going to go rather quickly."
Rosenberg said it's tough to have solid numbers for project costs at this point in the process, saying they are usually underestimated.
Following the forums, the next step is to create the list with any community input and present it to the Board of Education.
Superintendent Nancy Campbell said she wasn't sure what the board would do if the millage didn't pass, but guessed it would be brought back for another election.
"The buildings aren't going to get any better if we don't make these repairs," she said.
Although there have been talks of the closure of Romeo Middle School, Campbell said the district is operating under the assumption that all buildings will remain open during the sinking fund process.
She said a reconfiguration committee is examining the entire district to create a plan of what it should look like regarding building use.
"The board does want to make a decision in time to notify the people who would be affected, because that's students, parents and staff," she said.
