Board retroactively approves elevator repair contract; attorneys to review whether defect was disclosed at sale
Summary
Trustees retroactively approved an emergency repair agreement with TKE/TKD Elevator Corporation to restore elevator service and remain compliant with building schedules. The board authorized attorneys to investigate whether the elevator condition was disclosed during the property purchase; one trustee voted 'No' in the recorded roll-call.
The Susquehanna Township School District board retroactively approved an agreement with an elevator contractor (referred to in the meeting as TKE/TKD Elevator Corporation) to repair an out-of-service elevator so the district could remain compliant with building use schedules.
During discussion on finance Item H, trustees said the elevator failure required immediate financial action and that the district previously authorized emergency repairs. One trustee asked whether disclosure about the elevator condition occurred during the property sale; the board said district attorneys are already examining the purchase disclosures to determine if recovery is possible.
The roll-call on Item H recorded several 'Yes' votes and at least one 'No' vote (Mister K. Johnson). The board’s discussion characterized the vote as retroactive approval of repairs necessary to keep the building in compliance; the district will follow up with its solicitors on potential recovery and disclosure issues.
Trustees approved finance line items a–g earlier in the meeting; the elevator repair was addressed separately to ensure appropriate recordkeeping and counsel review.
