III. Facilities
A.
Update on facilities across the district
Kit Canning shared some of the work that has been happening around the district.
- siding at CCA
- insurance plan and timeline items
Met with a possible engineer for plans for an expansion at Dimensions - should be hearing back this week
Stephanie requested a similar spreadsheet created for all of the general facilities needs across the district to be able to create a timeline for those repairs to get completed.
Lana made a connection between CRCS and HighMark (a national developer group) to look at possible options in the area for a new build construction
- help with finding land if we want a new build
- help with retrofitting buildings if that is what we want to do
- help with finding financial support
- help creating plans and blueprints
- free unless the plans are moved to fruition and then they set up a payment plan to them
Hoping to have HighMark join the next finance and facilities meeting to share out some ideas and be available to ask questions
