NEW BUSINESS – consideration of the following items, including items reasonably related to these items, where formal action may or may not be taken:

W-2: New Office Building Design and Construction – For Discussion and Possible Action (Heald, Sukalski, Bernard, Umiamaka).

Over the past two months, District advertised a Request for proposals for the construction of the new office building. Six responses were received, and the District team narrowed those responses down to three contractors that the team wanted to interview. Subsequent to the three interviews, the team made the difficult decision to select the one contractor that the team felt had been the most responsive in its proposal and interview.

During this meeting, District staff will provide a recommendation to the Board for a contractor to construct Phase I of the new office building. Phase I will involve minor modifications to the Board room and foyer to allow office and customer service staff to occupy that space during Phase II construction. During today’s meeting, the team and Amy Umiamaka from RS&H, will also provide the Board with the latest information about the project design and construction.

W-3: 2026 Budget Process – For Discussion and Possible Action (Heald).

Recommended motion: “…to appoint Roy Heald as the District’s budget office for the 2026 budget process.”

District staff have begun the 2026 budget preparation process. One of the first tasks in the budget process is to appoint the budget officer. The budget officer will then provide the preliminary budget to Board members by October 15, 2025, and will prepare the final budget prior to the December 10, 2025, Board meeting. The District’s general manager is recommending that he be appointed as the budget officer, in keeping with past practices.
