The Facilities budget for 2026 is $330,000, including $166,700 in services, $9,500 in supplies, and $10,000 in capital, alongside district-wide lines for building repairs and janitorial and security maintenance. Coupled with earlier facility studies, this signals an ongoing stream of small projects, preventive maintenance, and minor improvements across branches. Building services firms, trades contractors, and facility-service providers can engage to support multi-site work orders and minor capital tasks.

Professional services include janitorial services (~$50,000) and security maintenance ($5,500), suggesting vendor relationships but no specific firms are named.
