In August of 2023, $250,000 was approved for Special Ed services for the 2023-2024 year.  At the time, it was unknown how much those services would cost.  Diagnosticians and Occupational Therapy were not services that were being contracted.  It has since been determined that an additional $100,000 may be needed in order to complete the 2023-2024 fiscal year.

14.I. Consider and take action to approve replacing 2 HVAC units at Snyder Primary

Description:
One, 15 ton unit that cools and heats the Snyder Primary gymnasium is out of service. The other unit has had multiple failures this year, and is not able to keep up with the load. We have received quotes ranging from $65,000 to $85,000 to replace these units. Since the cost is over $50,000, board approval is required.
Subject:
14.J. Tennis court resurfacing, fence repairs, and windscreen repairs
Presenter:
Clay Cade
Description:
The tennis courts are due for regular resurfacing maintenance. Upon inspection, most of the chain link fencing is broken and stretched, wearing the surfacing off of the courts in these areas. Additionally, windscreens have torn in most areas. The wind screens were replaced in February of 2017. The current court surface and fencing is original to the facility.

The cost for this maintenance and repairs is $147,324.72, broken down below:

Court Resurfacing: $67,840
Wind Screens: $21,996
Fence Replacement: $54,600
COOP Fee - 2%: $2,888.72
