Enterprise City Board of Education approves Heron Creek parking bid, campus lighting and personnel items
Summary
At a special April 15 meeting, the Enterprise City Board of Education approved a construction bid for Heron Creek Elementary, a campus-wide lighting quote for Enterprise High School and a slate of personnel actions, including retirements and hires.
The Enterprise City Board of Education on April 15 approved a recommendation to award a construction contract for parking and erosion control at Heron Creek Elementary, accepted a quote to upgrade lighting across Enterprise High School’s campus and approved personnel actions that include leaves, transfers, resignations, retirements and new hires.
Board members took the actions during a special call meeting aimed at moving planned projects forward. Dr. Thomas presented each recommendation to the board and asked for approval.
Dr. Thomas recommended the board approve the bid for the Heron Creek Elementary parking and erosion control project, saying Walker Construction and Consulting Services was the lowest overall bidder. "It is my recommendation that you approve the bid recommendation to Walker Construction and Consulting Services as presented," Dr. Thomas said. A board member moved to approve the recommendation, another seconded, and the board voted in favor.
The board also accepted a quote from Musco Sports Lighting LLC for lighting upgrades at Enterprise High School. Dr. Thomas described the work as covering parking lots, walkways and stadium lighting and said the upgrades aim to brighten very dark areas across the campus to improve safety after events. "This is gonna be the entire campus. Campus is extremely dark at night. There's a lot of dark areas, so we're gonna brighten it up. So it'll be more safe for people to walk in their cars after events and things of that nature," Dr. Thomas said. He added that, if approved, the contractor would likely take about 30 days to mobilize and begin work.
Board members moved and seconded approval of the Musco quote and voted to accept it.
Dr. Thomas also recommended approval of personnel action items, which the agenda described as covering leave, transfers, retirements, resignations and employment. "It is my recommendation that you approve the personnel action items as presented on the personnel list for leave, transfers, retirements, resignations, and employment," Dr. Thomas said. The board moved, seconded and approved the personnel list.
During discussion of personnel items, one board member noted a staff member named Debbie had told the board she planned to "go to the beach," and the meeting included informal remarks that longtime administrator Waller Martin has told faculty he plans to retire; Dr. Thomas said that retirement would become official after board approval when paperwork is submitted. Those retirement remarks were made in discussion; the transcript indicates Waller Martin's retirement was not included on the personnel list provided for the meeting.
The board adjourned after thanking attendees and noting it will next meet on April 29 at 5 p.m.
