After months of advertising and not receiving any bids on the Springville Gym, the School Board offered it to the highest bidder.  At the March meeting of the School Board, Finance Director David Jones said the high bid received was $25,000.

Jones told the board there will be 1.75 acres of land to be surveyed around the gym.  The buyer will be required to erect a fence to separate the gym from the Springville Education Center campus.  The board would pay to survey the land.

The old gym had fallen into disrepair and was not being used by the school.  Jones said they had received an estimate of $70,000 to $100,000 for the board to demolish the building and get rid of the asbestos.

Board member Gary Giddens made the motion to accept the $25,000 bid with the stipulation that the buyer build the fence on three sides to join the existing fence along the wooded side of the property.  And the bidder would be informed of the condition of the property.  Richard Cannon seconded the motion.  All board members except Gene Longino voted “Yea” on the motion.
