Peter Sarpy HVAC Project
A preconstruction meeting will be taking place with Lueder Construction. Also, since this project is larger, there will be a contingency plan for phasing in parts of the project when school is back in session in the fall.

Bond Website
The current projects on the buildings has been updated. Mr. Gladbach will update the budget as well.
Dr. Rippe gave an update on the compressor that is not longer in service at Logan Fontenelle due to issues. There are still two that can be used, but there will be a large cost to the district to have the compressor repaired. Since this is in the bond issue, the district is researching different options to replace the compressor and move the project ahead of schedule. A report will be given to the Committee at a later date.
The Committee adjourned the meeting at 6:45 p.m. The next Bond Oversight Meeting will be held on June 21st at Bellevue East.
