Questions posed 5/1/2018 to Mr. Larry Lara, Director Facilities/Physical Plant Fullerton College:

What are the projected maintenance costs?

Larry Lara: “Well, since we’re not looking at a big increase, we’re not looking at additional costs.”

What are the costs now?

Larry Lara: “Well, that’s a good question- unfortunately, we don’t have data, we just have campus wide, we don’t have it drilled down to the field. We have an overall budget, but it’s not parched out by building, or field.”
