  1. Superintendent's Report

Minutes

Mr. Grubbs gave an update on the proposed Multi-Purpose Building Project.  A resolution is included on this meeting's agenda to authorize hiring an architect for preliminary design, budgeting and community engagement.  This initial step of hiring an architect will help guide the direction of the project and provide a clearer understanding of potential costs and design options.

Mr. Grubbs clarified recent community statements regarding the potential site of the project and emphasized that no site has been selected at this time, as additional information and analysis will be required before a decision is made.  Several factors will influence site selection.  It was noted that a wrestling room and walking track are examples for the project wish list.
