Summary
Obion County Board approved continuation of a year-two contract for a field-line painting robot at Obion County Central High School, funded by the Athletic Fund from gates and concessions and not affecting the General Fund.
The Obion County Board of Education approved Sept. 2 the continuation of a Tiny Mobile Robot contract used to paint lines on Obion County Central High School sports fields. Director Tim Watkins told the board the district is in year two of a two-year contract and that it "can be cancelled without penalty at any time." He said the robot saves time and money for field preparation.
Watkins said the funds paying for the contract come from the Athletic Fund, generated by gates and concessions, and "has no effect on the General Fund Budget." The motion to approve the contract continuation was made by Keisha Hooper and seconded by Tim Britt. MOTION CARRIED.
The minutes do not include the contract's dollar amount, vendor name, or a comparison of costs versus manual field-line painting beyond the summary statement that it saves time and money. The board's minutes record the contract is year two of two and is cancellable without penalty.
