Board clears ITEP selection that would tie to roughly $1.5 million in equipment outlay
Summary
The board approved selection for an ITEP application that includes about $1.5 million for equipment outlay related to telecommunications infrastructure; a company representative was present but the company name was not specified in the transcript.
The Bossier Parish School Board approved board action on the selection of an ITEP application that, as presented, would support roughly $1,500,000 in equipment outlay for telecommunications-related infrastructure.
District staff explained the application falls under the older ITEP rules and therefore required board action. The project summary in the presentation referenced equipment outlay for items described as "wood pole equivalents," enclosures and pods and said the proposal would support the expansion of additional days and related infrastructure. A company representative referenced in the meeting was present (identified in the transcript as Mr. Wiggy), but the transcript does not include a full company name or contract text.
A motion to approve the selection was moved and seconded (mover recorded as Mister Foulting/Falting in the transcript with inconsistent spellings) and was approved by show of hands and verbal ayes. Board members offered supportive remarks about the company's community role and employment record during the discussion.
Because the transcript does not include a company name or contract document, the board's approval at this meeting is a selection step; staff indicated the application will be considered by the state under the applicable ITEP rules.
