Board approves consent agenda including multiple vendor contracts, change orders and authorization to exceed revenue neutral rate
Summary
The board approved a broad consent agenda that included vendor maintenance renewals, cleaning and food service contracts, field and paving change orders, and authorization for administration to prepare revenue neutral rate calculations that may exceed the cap and notify the county clerk by July 20, 2025.
The Salina Public Schools Board of Education approved a lengthy consent agenda July 15 that included routine appointments, vendor contract renewals and several construction change orders.
Key items approved included technology and maintenance renewals (examples: a network-equipment maintenance renewal for $35,242.21 and an annual software maintenance renewal for $39,755.63); service contracts and projected lines for the 2025–26 school year (examples: HVAC technical support and projected repairs budgeted at $150,000, citywide supplemental cleaning services contracts totaling three awards of $100,000 and $150,000; and cleaning supplies from 4 States Maintenance Supply at $200,000). Food-service purchases for Heartland Early Education were approved with projected expenditures to Sysco Food Services ($157,000) and Highland Dairy Foods ($35,000). Charter bus services through Village Travel were authorized up to $250,000 for projected expenditures during 2025–26. The board also approved a Lakewood Middle School paving change order for $53,348.51 and a South High football/soccer field fencing change order for $78,000 to Mammoth Sports.
Board members discussed the fencing change order during the meeting. District staff explained that the original local vendor used for fencing had scheduling and performance issues and Mammoth Sports was contracted because it had sufficient resources to complete the work in a timely fashion. Staff told the board the fencing work was not included in the original project bid and instead was added via change order using separate funds.
The board authorized administration to prepare calculations and, if applicable, notify the county clerk by July 20, 2025, that USD 305 will exceed the revenue neutral rate for applicable levying funds. The district also set the 2025–26 federal mileage reimbursement at 70 cents per mile, effective July 1, 2025.
The consent agenda passed by a voice/show-of-hands vote recorded as 7-0. No items were pulled for separate consideration during the meeting.
