Board approves accounts payable; trustee abstains on vendor due to family relationship
Summary
Trustees voted to approve the accounts payable list with one abstention disclosed because a trustee has a family member employed by a listed vendor; the board also approved a separate lone-wolf item after clarification.
The Elko County School District Board of Trustees approved the accounts payable list after a motion and second. A trustee disclosed a family relationship with an employee of Wells Road Electric and abstained from the related vote.
Board members asked staff to remove a separate reimbursement request (listed as Pedro's reimbursement) from the accounts payable packet prior to final action. After disclosures and an abstention were recorded, trustees voted to approve the accounts payable list; the chair cast a vote in the affirmative.
Separately, trustees approved a motion to authorize the lone-wolf item discussed during the accounts-payable review. Board members thanked staff for catching the conflict and for allowing the trustee to abstain where appropriate; staff noted the abstention removed a potential conflict from the vote.
