Board approves $5M OEM advance, election resolution, consent agenda and personnel report
Summary
The board approved an OEM $5,000,000 interest-free advance, the election resolution to place seat 1 on the ballot, the consent agenda and the superintendent's personnel report; roll calls recorded only affirmative votes in the transcript.
The Lawton Public Schools board approved four formal items during the meeting: acceptance of an Oklahoma Emergency Management (OEM) advance of $5,000,000 to cover storm-related expenses while FEMA reimbursements are pending; an election resolution for seat 1 to allow staff to prepare ballot paperwork; approval of the meeting consent agenda; and approval of the superintendent's personnel report.
Superintendent explained the district had been declared a disaster area after a hailstorm and that FEMA reimbursements were delayed. "We can get a $5,000,000 loan interest free," the superintendent said, recommending the board approve taking the OEM advance while federal reimbursements are pending. A motion to approve the OEM advance was made, seconded and passed by roll call; the transcript records 'Yes' responses from the members called.
The superintendent then introduced the annual election resolution for seat 1, saying the board needed to approve the resolution so staff could complete necessary ballot paperwork. The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution by roll call.
The board also moved to approve the consent agenda with no items removed; a roll-call vote was taken and recorded as affirmative. Finally, a motion to approve the superintendent's personnel report was made, seconded and approved by roll call.
The transcript records affirmative roll-call responses for each vote; the meeting did not record any 'No' or 'Abstain' responses for the items presented. The board scheduled its next meeting for Monday, Nov. 17 at 5:00 and adjourned.
