Board authorizes $421,000 turf replacement at Dixie High

On July 10, 2018, members of the Washington County School District board authorized a $421,000 contract to replace the turf at Dixie High School and indicated the district would seek reimbursement from a third party referenced in the meeting as "Mahot."

The motion to "authorize that same contractor to redo the turf at Dixie High for 421,000," as stated in the meeting record, was moved by Board member Craig and seconded (the transcript records the second as "the marine"). The board approved the motion by voice vote; the meeting record gives the result as "All in favors. Aye. Aye." with no roll-call tally provided.

Board members discussed using the same contractor previously engaged by the district; the contractor was referenced by the name "Jed" during the conversation. The board asked staff to record the contractor name for the final paperwork. Meeting remarks also included an intention to pursue funds from a party the transcript calls "Mahot," but the record does not specify the legal or contractual basis for reimbursement or a timeline for receiving those funds.

The board did not provide a detailed funding breakdown in the recorded discussion; the only dollar amount specified for the work was $421,000. No ordinance, statute, or external approval process was cited in the discussion recorded in the transcript. The board moved on after confirming the motion and vote; staff were directed to capture the contractor name and complete the procurement paperwork.

The vote and contractor authorization conclude the turf item; the district did not record a formal roll-call vote or list of members voting in the transcript excerpt provided.
