CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2018 ATM(incorporating Updates&Errata)
<br /> Classroom and Administrative Furniture
<br /> In the past, there was an annual request from the school department for replacement and/or repair of old
<br /> or outdated furniture such as student and teacher desks, chairs, tables, filing cabinets and other basic
<br /> furnishings. Other system-wide furnishings including conference and cafeteria tables, bookshelves, and
<br /> storage units need to be replaced over time. The increase in enrollment drives additional requirements for
<br /> student-and-staff furniture purchases. Starting with FY2019, this expense will be part of the School
<br /> Department operating budget.
<br /> Food-Service Equipment
<br /> Food-Service operations in all schools serve hot and cold meals to thousands of students each school day.
<br /> It is essential to purchase and maintain equipment for preparing and maintaining cooked items which
<br /> provides for safe distribution. The food-service operations are contracted to a private vendor, but the
<br /> purchase of equipment is the responsibility of the school system. To the extent practical, such purchases
<br /> are funded from the Food Service Revolving Fund. In past years any additional funding came from capital
<br /> requests. Starting with FY2019,this expense will be part of the School Department operating budget.
<br /> Traffic Mitigation for Safety
<br /> This area covers studies that precede DPF projects to make extraordinary repairs to sidewalks, driveways,
<br /> and parking areas to maintain public safety. Currently,there are no planned studies.
