Mentor Exempted Village Board unanimously approves vendor contracts, legal counsel and personnel items
Summary
At a June 27 special meeting, the Mentor Exempted Village Board of Education approved a series of vendor contracts, a resolution to continue legal counsel for pending cases, and several personnel and human-resources items. All motions carried by 5-0 roll-call votes.
The Mentor Exempted Village Board of Education on June 27 approved multiple vendor contracts, a resolution continuing legal counsel to complete pending student-services cases, and several certified- and human-resources actions in a special meeting called under Ohio Revised Code Section 3313.15.
Superintendent Craig Heese recommended the actions, reading each item into the record: “I’m recommending approval of the consulting agreement with Signature Health,” he said, and presented subsequent contract and personnel motions. The board voted by roll call on each motion; votes recorded in the transcript list Board members Jesslyn, Marchesa, Avila, Payne and Cook voting yes on each item.
Items approved included: - A consulting agreement with Signature Health (motion introduced by Superintendent Heese). Vote: 5-0. - Renewal notice with Frontline Education (recommended by Heese). Vote: 5-0. - Contract services agreement with LEAF (recommended by Heese). Vote: 5-0. - Photography products and services agreement with Lifetouch (recommended by Heese). Vote: 5-0. - A resolution providing for employment of legal counsel so an attorney who transferred from Western Hurd may finish several ongoing student-services cases (Heese explained the transfer of counsel and the need to avoid duplicative work). Vote: 5-0. - Agenda item B-1 (certified personnel) and B-2 through B-5 (human-resources matters), bundled and approved together. Vote: 5-0.
Superintendent Heese and board members did not elaborate on contract terms or dollar amounts during the recorded motions. The legal-counsel resolution was described as intended to allow an attorney who moved from Western Hurd to a new firm to “wrap up those cases” for the district’s Department of Student Services rather than restarting representation with new counsel.
The motions were presented sequentially and each was followed by a standard roll-call vote. No amendments to the recommended motions were recorded in the transcript. After the consent and recommended items were approved, the meeting moved on to administrative discussion and the Chief Financial Officer’s report.
The meeting later convened into executive session to discuss the employment of a public official and then adjourned.
