District staff told the board that the high school has received final inspection and permanent occupancy from the city inspector, and the operations/shop bus barn likewise cleared final inspection. Staff described remaining punch-list work—flooring repairs, acoustical panels for the lobby, HVAC-control adjustments—and said a power outage revealed emergency lighting that must be addressed.

Speaker 2 summarized completed items: a white backdrop curtain was installed on the stage, the acoustical shell lighting controls are tied into the sound booth, punch-list flooring issues were finished, and a final ice storage tank was repaired and tested. “So those are some of the main things left to do,” he said, adding that most remaining issues are cosmetic.

Operations staff reported the bus barn epoxy coating and shop equipment moves are underway and buses are being parked in the new space. Legacy Gym air-conditioning startup was delayed by a detected leak that has since been repaired; commissioning will resume. Roofing parapet capping on Legacy and DEC projects is complete. Staff also noted a submitted IRS form to claim tax credit for a storage-chiller project, estimating roughly a 30% rebate (approximately $100,000) if approved.

Board members asked clarifying questions and expressed appreciation for moving projects toward completion. There were no formal votes tied to these reports beyond routine acceptance of the administrative update.

Next steps: staff will finish punch-list items, complete HVAC commissioning when conditions allow, correct emergency lighting, and report back on remaining short-term items.
