Summary
The Catalina Foothills Unified School District governing board approved its consent agenda including approval of minutes, routine finance and personnel items, and two contract awards (district pest control and an air conditioner replacement) by unanimous vote.
The Catalina Foothills Unified School District Governing Board on the evening of its regular meeting approved its consent agenda, including routine minutes, expense vouchers, personnel items and two contract awards, by a 5-0 vote.
The motion covered nine consent items listed in the board packet: approval of the Feb. 25, 2025 meeting minutes; the expense voucher memorandum; field trip and fundraising requests; the personnel memorandum; acceptance of gifts and donations; the award of RFP 25-2-30 for district pest control and termite services; addition of LRP Publications to the sole-source vendor list for 2024–25; and a school facilities award for an air-conditioner replacement.
Associate Superintendent Mindy Westover presented the line-item descriptions in the packet when the motion was made and read the contract language into the record. The pest control contract was awarded to Essential Pest Control, Inc., as a one-year contract with an option to renew for four additional years and an estimated annual cost of $15,454.64. The board also approved a school facilities award to Tallinn Mechanical for replacement of an air-conditioner unit at Canyon View Elementary School in the amount of $17,099, after brief clarification about the correct school campus named in the paperwork.
Board members did not pull any items for discussion during the consent vote; after a motion and a second the roll call was voice (ayes), and the chair announced the motion carried, 5-0.
The packet items that were approved but not discussed in detail include the field trip and fundraising requests, personnel memorandum and acceptance with gratitude of gifts and donations. Those items remain on record in the meeting packet and will be reflected in the district minutes and fiscal records.
No other public comment or separate motions were taken on the consent items.
