Bond Options Consider Budget Overruns on School Project
McGowen outlined four paths for the bond project with Jacobs Engineering and the architects. The first option would require an extra 2.6 million to keep the original scope, while the second adds 3.2 million by moving four science classrooms. A middle route would shift two classrooms and relocate the wood shop for about 2.8 million, and a final option would change the scope to meet budget but is not recommended due to new proposals. Trustee Fischer and Burg backed prioritizing the first option, as CBAC oversight calls for budget discipline and broader participation in spending decisions. Clarence Albus cautioned about balancing scope and overruns as projects proceed.
