Clarifying note on an inconsistency: During the recreation roof/HVAC item, staff presented "not to exceed" figures in the packet that differed from the dollar amounts read aloud at the time of the motion. The roll-call motion used $1,109,737 for the roof contract and $61,982 for HVAC; the staff earlier cited a not-to-exceed of $1,059,730 and a combined amount of $1,121,712. The board vote followed the motion numbers read at the meeting. The packet and clerk's minutes should be checked to reconcile the figures before funds are disbursed.
