The Mill A School District Board on Thursday unanimously approved adding $102,418 in district funds to complete an overlay of the remaining portion of a school building roof and to replace worn gutters.
Committee member moved the motion to approve the expanded cost, describing it as “adding to the project the overlay of the remainder part of the roof” and citing an estimated out‑of‑pocket cost of $102,418; another member seconded the motion and the board chair announced, “The motion passes 4 to 0.”
Kelly, the staff presenter, said the district had applied for a grant to cover a full overlay but that the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) confirmed no additional grant funds were available. Kelly told the board that CSG, the contractor, is “confident that the roof overlay can be completed for this amount or less,” and that the remaining grant balance plus the district contribution would cover the work.
The board and staff discussed alternatives: using the grant money to repair bubbling on portions of the roof versus paying to install a continuous membrane overlay over the remainder. Members noted that repair would likely extend the roof life by only several years, while a full overlay was expected to provide materially longer service life depending on the product warranty.
The board directed staff to obtain written warranty documentation from the contractor and to make arrangements for annual roof inspections and routine maintenance to protect the investment. Kelly said installation would follow manufacturer guidelines and that weather delays could defer work if conditions are unsuitable.
