Lech says the developer, plans to work with the city of Jamestown to pave 19th Avenue Northeast, currently undeveloped and runs along the section line between the JHS property and property where the developer plans to build.

The developer will do a cost analysis on the paving and sharing that information with him in the beginning of June.

Lech said if the numbers work, the board should consider working with the developer as the high school needs a second outlet road to ease traffic congestion during peak-use periods.

In other business, the board approved a 11 percent increase in the annual fee for the Artist in Residence program agreement with the Arts Center.

JPS will pay the Arts Center $22,500 for the 2015-16 school year, up from $20,000 the district paid for the current school year. Lech said part of the increase is for providing services to the middle and high schools.

The meeting was recorded by CSi with replays starting Tuesday on CSi Cable 10.
