San Angelo ISD reports slower tax collections and lists December purchase orders; board staff recommend approval of annual miscellaneous supplies bid
Summary
The district reported tax collections lagging last year’s pace, presented December purchase orders over $20,000 and recommended approving Bid 24‑024 (miscellaneous supplies) for inclusion on the consent agenda; no roll‑call votes were recorded.
SAN ANGELO, Texas — San Angelo Independent School District trustees received a finance update that showed tax collections for November were below the same period last year and reviewed purchase orders over $20,000 for December, including audits, furniture, fiber and kitchen equipment. Staff also recommended approval of Bid 24‑024 for miscellaneous supplies and proposed adding it to the consent agenda.
Mr. Dindal, chairing the finance and audit workshop segment, said November collections for the current tax year were lagging November of the prior year and that a large portion of payments typically arrive in December and January. "We'll see a significant amount paid in December and then we'll round up to almost probably 95% in January," he said.
Staff presented a purchase‑order summary listing several December items above $20,000: the district's annual audit cost, field maintenance contracts, furniture purchases, consulting, fiber purchases, kitchen equipment for a serving line, MAP testing services, fire alarm repair and occupational and physical therapy services. The report also included a lighthearted note from staff that food‑service purchases included a "tremendous amount of chicken sandwiches." No dollar totals for each line were read into the record.
Ms. Jerry, a district purchasing staff member, described Bid 24‑024 (miscellaneous supplies) as the district's annual solicitation for items that do not fall under other bids — groceries, clothing, electronics, small appliances and refreshments. She said the district received about 37 responses this year and recommended approving the vendors in the listed categories. After a brief discussion the board indicated no objection and staff said they would place the bid approvals on the consent agenda; no roll call vote was recorded during this pre‑agenda meeting.
Also noted: Robert (Jeff) Roberts — clarified in the meeting that the correct spelling is Robert — will present the formal audit report at the regular meeting next week. The board set future dates: a finance and pre‑agenda workshop on Feb. 10 and a regular board meeting on Feb. 18.
No formal motions or roll‑call votes were recorded in the pre‑agenda meeting minutes for these items.
