Board approves consent agenda including nearly $6.0 million in payments and Apollo work
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda, which included approval of bills and financial transactions totaling $5,995,761.80, change orders for Apollo Theater improvements, calls for bids for junior high LTFM projects and Apollo parking, and a joint purchasing contract for locker replacement.
The St. Cloud Area School District Board of Education approved the consent agenda Jan. 22, adopting routine business items including payment approvals, personnel changes and construction-related items.
The board approved bills and other financial transactions in the grand total amount of $5,995,761.80. The consent agenda also included change orders for Apollo Theater improvements totaling $31,323.47; calls for bids for North and South Junior High LTFM (long-term facilities maintenance) improvements and Apollo parking-lot improvements; and a joint purchasing contract award for locker replacement.
Board members may remove single items from the consent agenda for separate consideration; board member Natalie Copeland asked to remove item d (acceptance of grant awards and donations) for separate action. After the remainder of the consent agenda passed on a voice vote, the board separately approved item d. During the vote on item d, Copeland recused herself from the vote and the remaining members approved the item.
