Votes at a glance: Southwest ISD approves consent agenda, roof change order, $4.725M fencing contract and personnel actions
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda, a $3,497 change order for Legacy High School roof repairs, awarded a $4,725,000 district-wide fencing contract and approved superintendent personnel recommendations in closed session.
At its March meeting, the Southwest ISD Board of Trustees approved several routine and procurement items: the consent agenda; a change order of $3,497 for Southwest Legacy High School roof repairs; the award of a $4,725,000 contract for a district-wide fencing project; and the superintendent's personnel recommendations after a closed session.
Consent agenda: A trustee moved and a second was recorded; the board approved the consent agenda by voice vote with no questions and no roll-call recorded.
Roof repair change order: District staff said the initial vendor work had been underway and the requested change order totaled $3,497 to complete additional work at Southwest Legacy High School. The board approved "change order number 1" and directed that the additional amount come from 2023 bond funds. The transcript references both "Brazos Urethane" and "Bridal USA" in connection with the roof work; staff did not resolve the name discrepancy on the record.
Fencing contract award: Staff reported eight sealed proposals were received and recommended awarding the district'wide fencing contract to Kingcon Construction in the amount of $4,725,000. Staff said the district expects a safety grant of approximately $3,900,000 to cover most of the project cost and to reduce the bond funds otherwise required. The board approved the contract by motion, second and voice vote; no roll-call tally was read into the record.
Personnel approvals: After a closed session conducted under Texas Government Code sections 551.001'551.146, trustees returned to open session and moved to approve the superintendent's recommendations on personnel, including administrator appointments, reassignments, leaves and contract renewals. The motion passed by voice vote; no individual votes were recorded on the public record.
Vote method and record: All actions were taken by motion, second and voice vote; the meeting record contains no roll-call tallies for these items.
Ending: The board took no additional public business after the personnel motion and adjourned the agenda.
