Votes at a glance: board approves meeting agenda amendments, easement for Eastside trail, purchase of Horsgood Middle School fire alarm panel, and KASB delegate
Summary
The Garden City Board of Education approved the amended meeting agenda, consent agenda, a right-of-way/temporary construction easement for the Eastside Pedestrian Pathway, a single-source fire alarm panel purchase for Horsgood Middle School, delegate appointments to KASB, and moved into executive session.
The Garden City Board of Education recorded the following actions during its meeting:
1) Agenda approval — The board approved the meeting agenda as amended. The board president called for a voice vote; the motion carried. (Action recorded as approval of the amended agenda.)
2) Consent agenda — The board approved the consent agenda as amended by voice vote; chair declared the motion carried.
3) Eastside Pedestrian Pathway easement (H-1) — The board approved the city’s request for additional right-of-way and a temporary construction easement affecting the frontage of Victor and Alice Elementary to allow a widened (10-foot) sidewalk/trail and associated staging. City staff said the work will be phased to maintain pedestrian access and that the project is supported by a $1.5 million KDOT grant. City staff will complete ROW/easement paperwork and proceed to bid; construction timing depends on bids and remaining ROW work.
4) Horsgood Middle School fire alarm panel purchase (H-2) — The board approved a single-source purchase to replace a discontinued fire alarm panel at Horsgood Middle School. The presenter said the existing panel was out of service and Johnson Controls had compatible units; the quoted amount given in the packet was $24,837 (the procurement was described as single-source because the discontinued panel and compatibility issues limit vendors). The motion to approve the purchase passed by voice vote.
5) KASB delegate and alternate (H-4) — The board appointed a delegate (Mark, named by the motion) and an alternate (Spreya, who accepted) to the Kansas Association of School Boards delegate assembly at the annual convention on Nov. 15. The motions to appoint both passed by voice vote.
6) Executive session motion — The board voted to move into executive session for attorney–client privileged contract discussions; the president named invited staff and set a return time. The motion carried.
Where vote details were not recorded in roll-call form, the board used voice/hand votes and the president declared motions carried. No recorded roll-call tallies were supplied in the meeting transcript for these motions.
