16.6. Surplus Martinez Adult Education Portables (Information Item)
Speaker:
Diane Deshler
Quick Summary / Abstract:

With the completion of the Vicente/Briones school construction project and student relocation to the new campus, Martinez Adult Education will occupy the brick and mortar buildings that were previously occupied by Vicente and Briones. This will mean that aging portables 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, Tech Shed, Tech 1/2, Tech 3, Restroom, and Storage Shed as identified on the site map and currently being used by Martinez Adult Education can be surplused due to their deteriorating condition and lack of need. Staff recommends the surplus of noted portable buildings currently housed at Martinez Adult Education upon relocation to the new Vicente Briones campus. The budget for the disconnection and removal is between $55,000 and $130,000 depending on whether the buildings are removed or they have to be demolished.

16.7. Alhambra High School Building K Project Update- Plaza Replacement and Outdoor Learning Environment (Information Item)
Speaker:
Diane Deshler
Quick Summary / Abstract:

Included as part of the Alhambra High School Building K project is the replacement of the ramp plaza between the PAB and Building J.  The idea of changing the ramp plaza area into an outdoor learning environment was brought forward in a facilities subcommittee meeting last spring when the project was being bid. The design by the architect was not completed so no budget number was determined for the cost at that time. The cost to modify the terraced areas into an outdoor learning has been determined to be approximately $60,000. If the district is interested in moving forward with this addition, staff would need a recommendation to increase the AHS Building K budget.
