Board approves agenda, officer-election resolution, consent items and moves forward on HVAC design
Summary
Garden City USD 457 trustees approved the meeting agenda with amendments, adopted a resolution establishing election of board officers, approved the consent agenda and authorized design work for an HVAC project at Horsgood Middle School.
Garden City USD 457 trustees approved several procedural and project actions during their January meeting, including adoption of the meeting agenda with amendments, a resolution to establish board officer elections, approval of the consent agenda and authority to pursue HVAC design for Horsgood Middle School.
The board voted to approve the meeting agenda as amended after a motion and second; the motion carried by voice vote. Trustees then moved and seconded a resolution to establish election procedures for school board officers; that motion also passed by voice vote. The consent agenda — which groups routine personnel and other items for single approval — was moved, seconded and carried.
On a substantive facilities action, the board voted to move forward with the design and bidding process for the Horsgood Middle School HVAC project and authorized a design fee of $85,000 to the district's design partner (DMCN). The motion to proceed with design work was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The board also moved into an executive session for preliminary discussions about acquiring real property to protect the district's bargaining position; the motion to enter executive session for 15 minutes beginning at 7:00 p.m. and to reconvene at 7:15 p.m. carried.
Nut Graf: The votes reflect routine governance (agenda and consent approvals) and one project-authorization vote that advances a capital improvement on the district's long-range plan; decisions taken at the meeting set the HVAC design process in motion and preserve confidentiality for a pending real-estate discussion.
Details: 1) Agenda approval: motion to approve the agenda with amendments was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote. 2) Resolution establishing election of school board officers: motion to adopt was moved, seconded and carried. 3) Consent agenda: motion to approve was moved, seconded and carried. 4) Horsgood Middle School HVAC: motion to proceed with bidding and design (authorizing $85,000 design fee) was moved, seconded and carried. 5) Executive session: motion to enter executive session for preliminary discussions about acquisition of real property was moved, seconded and carried.
