Motion and second were made; the transcript recorded "Aye" votes and the item carried. (mover/second: not specified; vote tally: not specified; provenance: discussion and approval lines present in transcript.)

The transcript records discussion of the plan and intent to move forward; a final vote or explicit recorded outcome was not captured in the available transcript excerpt. (resolution number and amount as stated in agenda language; vote tally: not specified in transcript.)

- Gateway Unified development fee report (Resolution 24-25-16) (approval): Business services presented the developer-fee report that identifies fees collected last year and how they were spent; the board considered the resolution that accepts the report. The transcript indicates the item was presented and consistent with prior votes to adjust fees; a final approval was discussed. (vote tally: not specified.)

- Three-year audit services contract (approval): The board approved a three-year contract for audit services (including Proposition 39 and bond-related audits) with a firm the district has used since 2019.

- E-rate Category 2 cloud management/network licensing purchase (approval): The board approved purchase of a cloud-managed network electronics license from AMS through E-rate Category 2 funding with a total project cost of $243,150; the estimated district share after E-rate funding is about 10% (approximately $24,315). Staff noted E-rate funding covers most of the cost and that licensing is required to keep the district network operational. (motion outcome: approved; vote tally: not specified.)

- Purchase and other consent-agenda items: The consent agenda and other routine items (including standard personnel, contracts and routine approvals) were presented and approved as a package. Items pulled for discussion were addressed individually.
