Votes at a glance: board approves routine items and Savannah Grove project steps
Summary
At the May meeting the board approved routine consent items (financial statements, minutes, personnel, field trips) and unanimously approved motions related to Savannah Grove Elementary including CMAR selection, architect award and payment schedule.
The Florence School District 1 Board of Trustees took several formal votes during the meeting.
Routine consent items: By unanimous oral vote the board approved four routine items without separate discussion: the financial statements, the minutes of the January meeting, the personnel recommendations (including 18 new teacher signings noted by administration), and field-trip approvals.
Savannah Grove project approvals: Later in the meeting the board unanimously approved three separate motions related to the Savannah Grove Elementary School and five ball fields: hiring Thompson Turner as construction manager at risk (CMAR); selecting LS3P Associates as the architect; and adopting the payment schedule under which Florence County holds the bond and the district reimburses the county. The superintendent said the district will make the first two annual payments in May as a good-faith step, and that the guaranteed maximum price from the CMAR will be returned to the board for a future vote.
Votes were taken by voice; the meeting transcript records unanimous approval for the listed items but does not provide roll-call counts.
