No Action(s) have been added to this Agenda Item.
Discussion:
Continuing the Maintenance Committee report, Mr. Jones explained that Westhills Elementary School has a problem with the foundation. Since only one repair bid ($32,000) has been received and the repairs can be delayed for a short time, the topic was tabled until the January board meeting in order to receive more bids. Mr. Jones stated that the type of Freon (R22) being used in the system's AC units is being phased out and will be replaced with Freon (410A) that requires the replacement of coils on the inside of the units and the condensers on the outside. Suggestion was made during the Maintenance Committee meeting that the school system purchase a skid of R22 for $28,800 before the price increases and before the Freon is phased out. Concern was expressed that the system would be paying for the soon-to-be phased out Freon when the units will have to be replaced at some point to accept 410A. Other topics discussed during the December 5th meeting: lights on the baseball field in Cornersville have blown and need to be replaced; renovating Preston Hopkins field to be a football field only and building a baseball field at a separate location.
