Board approves playground, HVAC, vehicles and band-uniform purchases; consent agenda adopted
Summary
At its May 19 meeting, the Aurora East USD 131 Board of Education approved four procurement motions totaling about $453,014 and adopted a consent agenda; an executive session was held with no further public action.
The Aurora East USD 131 Board of Education on May 19 approved four separate purchases and adopted a consent agenda, voting unanimously on the items as listed on the meeting agenda.
The board voted to: approve preschool playground equipment and poured-in-place surface at Johnson School from GameTime for $89,325.61; approve replacement of hood vents in the consumer science room at Cowherd Middle School by DeKalb Mechanical Inc. for $57,910; purchase two driver’s-education vehicles through the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative for $59,778; and purchase band uniforms from FJM Uniform for $246,000. Board members moved and seconded each item in sequence and the roll calls recorded only “yes” votes for those motions as transcribed.
All four motions were taken individually and were accompanied by roll-call votes. The consent agenda that followed was also moved, seconded and approved by roll call. Later in the meeting the board recessed into executive session to discuss property acquisition, pending litigation, student discipline and personnel matters; the board reconvened and the president stated there would be no action following the closed session.
The motions carried with recorded roll calls; the transcript shows no recorded “no,” “abstain,” or recusals on these items.
The approvals authorize the district to proceed with the specified purchases and contract awards. No additional contingencies, contract or vendor details beyond the vendor names and dollar amounts were specified in the public discussion recorded in the transcript.
