Board approves Local 70 proposals, accepts donations and appoints interim board member
Summary
The board approved a five-point Local 70 proposal, accepted several monetary donations, and voted to appoint Tom Stelling to fill a recently vacated board seat until an election; motions passed by roll call/voice votes.
The board approved items arising from Local 70's bargaining group after the union's vote. Administration summarized the Local 70 request (reported as passed unanimously by the union membership): a 5% pay increase in each of the next two years, changes to single-coverage group insurance language, adding Presidents' Day and Juneteenth to paid holidays, and clarifying contract language around certain staff categories. Board member Richard moved to approve the items and Keith seconded; the motion carried.
The board also adopted a resolution accepting donations: American Legion Post 423 donated $300 to the van fund and $1,000 to the Lehi robotics program, and the Houston Athletic Boosters Club donated $629.98 to the volleyball program. The board approved the resolution by roll-call vote.
On governance, the board nominated and appointed Tom Stelling to fill a board vacancy effective 30 days after adoption of the resolution, subject to petition rights under Minnesota statute 123B (as read into the resolution). The appointment procedure and election filing deadlines were discussed; staff will post information about candidate filing dates and the district will accept interested candidates through the stated August filing window.
Board members moved these items as individual motions and voted to approve them during the meeting.
