Mountain View Whisman School District
Agenda Item for Board Meeting of 11/7/2024
Agenda Category: ACTION AND DISCUSSION
Agenda Item Title: (Discussion) Measure T Project List Update and DO Portable Village Pause (10 Minutes)
Estimated Time: 10 minutes
Person Responsible: Rebecca Westover, Ed.D., Chief Business Officer
Background:
The initial budget for Access Control Phase 2 was allocated at $6,184,950, with the objective of installing electronic locks on all district doors that currently lack this security feature. However, as numerous electronic locks have already been added, including those on the district’s most frequently accessed doors, staff now recommends adjusting the project scope. Specifically, we propose reducing the project’s budget to $90,000, which would focus on essential installations, such as electronic locks for high-need areas like the Technology Department's IDF closets and certain common spaces.
By reducing the scale of this project, the remaining funds can be returned to Measure T as unallocated. This would allow flexibility for these funds to be redirected to other high-priority projects within the district. Additional recommendations for reallocating these funds will be presented at a future meeting.
District Office Reconfiguration and Portable Village Refresh
The District Office (DO) Reconfiguration and Portable Village Refresh project, with an estimated total cost of $2,100,315, is currently funded through Fund 40, which is reserved for construction-related projects. Staff recommends placing this project on hold at this time. The allocated funds will remain in Fund 40, available for use as needed in the future.
Fiscal Implication:
Savings of $6,094,950 of Measure T Funds
Savings of $2,100,315 minus expenses incurred for architectural services and planning
Recommended Action:
