Background/Justification:
The kitchen at Cimarron Elementary has not been upgraded since the school was built in 1980.  A majority of the kitchen equipment is original to the school. The kitchen has moisture and humidity problems in the dish machine area, and some drainage concerns are also noted.

• Conveyor belt serving system is past its life cycle.  Parts for the conveyor belt are either unavailable or very hard to find. This system will be replaced with a conventional serving line.
• Exhaust hood in dish room works intermittently.
• Under sized air handler system does not produce enough cool air for the kitchen space.
• Three compartment sink leaks.
• Reach in warmer and reach in cooler need to be replaced to maintain proper temperatures and hold enough product, which would eliminate the current need to  use ovens and the cooler for these purposes.
• Ovens are old,  barely  functional, and are beyond economical repair
• Floor tile is cracked.

The renovated design of this kitchen will be similar, but with one serving line, to the Sundown, Mayde Creek & Winborn Elementary kitchen renovations completed in 2008 from a combination of funds from the 2006 Bond Referendum and Food Service funds.
