Bond Authorization Summary Measure E Bond Summary
IV. PALM SPRINGS HIGH AUDITORIUM RENOVATION OPTIONS Ruhnau Ruhnau Clarke Roger Clarke Presenting
Redevelopment Funds and Projects • Historically, redevelopment funds have been used for cash flow purposes until projects are identified and approved: • Monthly payroll and vendor requirements • State and Federal deferrals • Continuing budget shortfalls • Projects are funded from available redevelopment funds and are approved by the Board of Education individually • Board of Education identified 2 years (2013 & 2014) of redevelopment fund projects at 12/12/12 Facilities Study Session • No new redevelopment funds available until December 2014
Discussion and Recommendations Legal counsel letter confirmed the PSHS auditorium, concession and field house project as acceptable to use Measure E bond funds. At the April 2013 study session, the Board approved to move both projects to bond funds but staff left out the name of the project in 5/28/13 board item. Staff is reaffirming permission for PSHS concession/ field house project for use of bond funds and will include in the next approval of projects board item
Discussion and Recommendations • Move PSHS concession/field house project funding from redevelopment funds to bond funds • Remove Desert Hot Springs Health and Wellness Center ($1M) from Redevelopment Project list • Continue design of Palm Springs High School auditorium using Enhancement Level 2 criteria • Use developer fees to start ‘design only’ for a new K – 8 school on the 20 acres north of Rancho Mirage High to alleviate overcrowding of Sunny Sands Elementary and James Workman Middle schools. Staff will return to the Board for approval prior to bidding for construction of school and present funding plan • Agua Caliente Elementary Office & Classroom Renovation as identified in Measure E bond language
Summary Recommendations • Move PSHS concession/field house project funding from redevelopment funds to bond funds • Continue design of Palm Springs High School auditorium using Enhancement Level 2 criteria - estimated $10 million • Start design only for a new K – 8 school on the 20 acres north of Rancho Mirage High - $1 to 2 million from fund 25 developer fees • Contract for architect services to review Agua Caliente Elementary Office & Classroom Renovation. Bring renovation options and estimated costs to Board for review at 2014 spring facilities study session - $1 million
Summary RecommendationNext Steps Provide direction to move forward with staff recommendations as presented and board directed additions/changes • Bring project recommendations to Board for formal approval at a future Board Meeting
