Trustees send finance items — change orders, benefits plan, elevator proposal — to Oct. 20 voting meeting
Summary
The board approved forwarding several finance and facilities items to a voting meeting on Oct. 20, including a change order for weatherproofing at Robertson Elementary, a benefits FSA agreement with OCA, and a proposal for an elevator at Honey Brook Elementary; a roll call vote recorded multiple 'Yes' votes and the motion carried.
At the committee meeting the Twin Valley School District board previewed and then voted to send multiple finance and facilities items to the Oct. 20 voting meeting.
Items previewed included financing of routine payments, staffing recommendations for the transportation department for the 2025–26 school year, a recommended change order for weatherproofing technologies at Robertson Elementary (call 7393), a service/business associate agreement with OCA Benefits to offer voluntary health flexible spending and dependent care flexible spending arrangements at $2.75 per employee per month (effective Jan. 1), a proposal for an elevator at Honey Brook Elementary (approx. $135,000), and a Drumheller Construction proposal for stairs from the parking lot (approximately $32,020 for the first section).
A motion to forward the finance agenda as presented to the Oct. 20 voting meeting was moved and seconded; the board then conducted a roll call vote. Recorded yes votes included Tom Burrows, Jacob, Gary, Jay Oliver, Colleen Jasper and others, and the motion carried.
Why it matters: The forwarded items include facilities and contract decisions that will commit district funds and schedules if approved at the Oct. 20 voting meeting. Trustees asked clarifying questions about project scopes and timelines (for example, which stair/step repairs would be addressed and whether middle school steps near the gym were being considered).
What happens next: These agenda items will appear on the October 20 voting meeting for final action. Administrators will include project details in the board packet and provide staff presentations at the voting meeting as needed.
