Mr. Mize presented a power point presentation which gave updates on the maintenance
work included in the ten-year plan that was completed during the previous summer. This
included roof replacements, duct work installation, painting, and HVAC installation. Next,
he outlined the capital needs for 2015-16; Roofing sections at NAMS, SAMS, Loflin, and the
Central Office, mechanical units in the Media Center and the Office at McCrary and the
Office at Lindley Park, painting and flooring at Lindley Park, the intercom at NAMS, the fire
alarm at Balfour, the chiller at Balfour, and plumbing and masonry repairs system wide. The
total of those needs was estimated at $880,126. With the annual Capital Outlay of $700,000
allocated to construction/renovation, there would be a shortage of $180,126.
Mr. Mize continued his presentation with the funding estimates for the 2016-17 year in
the amount of $868,624 as follows: five HVAC units, asbestos removal in the air handler,
and painting all at NAMS; roofing and windows at SAMS; and roofing, the Office
mechanical unit, insulation in the gym, and waterproofing the stadium masonry at the High
School. He concluded by thanking the Commissioners for their assistance for so many years.
Mr. Frye commended Mr. Mize and his staff on the upkeep and pride that they took in the
facilities. He said newer schools in other counties that he had visited looked older than the
Asheboro City school buildings because they were not as well kept.

the Asheboro City School's Zoo School, thanked both Boards for the opportunity for the
student leaders of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter to speak about their club.

Members of both Boards congratulated the group on their success and encouraged their
continued involvement in the community.
