Commissioner Price said she brings these items up this way because of the joint listing <br /> on the agenda. She said she is not contesting the need for a bond, but she wonders about the <br /> timeline. <br /> Chair Jacobs said that is still to be determined, partially by the next item. He suggested <br /> moving forward to the next discussion. <br /> 4. Summary of Ongoing Assessments and Estimates Related to Older Buildings and <br /> Facilities for Both School Districts <br /> Clarence Grier said there was discussion during the collaboration meeting regarding the <br /> need to address repairs and updates to older schools. He said CHCCS recently had an <br /> assessment and analysis of their older schools. He said the low end figure for limited repair <br /> was quoted at $52 million and goes up to $170 million. He said $43 million of that high figure is <br /> for middle school number 5. <br /> He said that OCS has just started the process and does not have a firm number. He <br /> said the ADM projects a low end figure of$20 million and a high end figure of$68 million. <br /> He said this means the figure for both school systems ranges from $110 million to $230 <br /> million. <br /> He said this figure is well over the general funds budget and it should be noted that the <br /> need to address repairs of old schools is outside of the CIP. He said these needs must be <br /> addressed in future years. <br /> Chair Brownstein asked for clarification on whether the range for both school districts <br /> includes any new schools. <br /> Clarence Grier said middle school #5 was included. <br /> Chair Brownstein said that is not included. She said this only includes analysis of the 10 <br /> older schools for CHCCS. She said this analysis is being done in tandem with Orange County <br /> who has 13 older schools. <br /> Chair Jacobs suggested the superintendents provide an overview of the information from <br /> CHCCS and OCS. He said there is no way with the current budget that these expenses could <br /> be swallowed with one bond issue. He said this would have to be staged with a series of bonds <br /> to cover all of the older school needs. <br /> CHCCS Superintendent Forcella said their next step is to look at the proposal and <br /> options for their older schools in order to prioritize the most important needs. <br /> Chair Brownstein said the sense of urgency is part of the challenge, and the districts are <br /> working together in trying to address some safety issues. She said some are glaring needs that <br /> cannot wait. <br /> Todd LoFrese said phase I of the analysis of their 10 older schools validated that there <br /> are significant needs that include: HVAC systems, air quality issues, safety code issues, <br /> handicap accessibility needs, electrical systems, plumbing systems, and general structural <br /> maintenance issues. He said details are included in the packet. <br /> He said staff is working through possible approaches that may include renovations, or <br /> complete deconstruction for facilities that have exceeded their useful life. He said that some of <br /> this work could push off the need for new schools. He said the need is approaching $200 <br /> million at the older schools, and this does not include middle school number 5. <br /> He said the second phase will be to work directly with building staff to narrow in and <br /> make recommendations on a specific basis at each campus. He said three basic options have <br /> been laid out at each school. <br /> Chair Brownstein said when the numbers for the next ten years were considered, it <br /> became apparent that the band aid approach is not working. <br /> Todd LoFrese said the CIP puts forward $20 million over the next ten years toward all of <br /> the schools, and this is about$100,000 per year for each school. He said this will not go very <br />
