We are crossing our fin- gers that in the next seven days, the rates stay as attractive as they are now.” Kirk originally had identified approxi- mately $7 million in renovations that needed to take place in District proper- ties. He said there are enough projects to spend the addi- tional $2 million. As previously re- ported in the Kit- tanning Paper, ASD will address the heating and cooling systems at Dayton Elementary School, and update secu- rity and surveillance there. Administra- tors have already identified a new roof will need to be installed at Lenape Elementary. “We will spend close to $3.5 million next summer just on those two projects,” Kirk said. He also identified the roof at West Shamokin High School that will be due for replacement as well as heating/ cooling/ventilation issues there, and HVAC updating at West Hills Interme- diate and Primary complex. “There are drive- ways and other smaller projects on our long-term list that now, since we will have the funds, we can move them up on the schedule,” he said. As Price previously stated, Kirk has been watching the bond market closely since the first of the year. “During the budget process, I started in- forming the Board that this was going to happen. We just didn’t know it was going to happen this fast. A savings of 11.6% is phenom- enal. Normally, if you see two or three percent, you start to consider refunding. So for it to be this high of a savings, it doesn’t make any sense to sit and wait any longer.” There are two dif- ferent bonds that were discussed at the meeting. The first one was the $80 mil- lion original bond of 2010 that previous boards procured for renovations of high schools that was eventually used for construction of Arm- strong Junior-Senior High School. The second bond was issued in 2013 that will see approxi- mately $45,000 an- nually in repayment savings. “We are taking the cash available from re-funding the $80 million bond. The 2013 bond will see a reduction in the amount of the pay- ment. We decided not to take cash from the 2013 bond, but rather just reduce our payments,” Kirk explained. Once the bonds are re-funded, there will be a period of time that will lapse before the money will be needed to pay the renovations. Kirk has already begun the process of finding appropri- ate places to invest the money to create even more savings over the life of the bonds. “Normally districts have to borrow mon- ey to do high main- tenance projects.
