RFISD board elects officers and approves credit card, mowing contract and LED upgrade
Summary
Trustees elected Ken Cruzan president, Mikaela Austin vice president and Bonnie Randall secretary, and approved a Prosperity Bank credit card (limit $40,000), a two‑year mowing contract with PRR Landscaping, and a $354,000 LED retrofit paid from bond funds. All recorded votes were unanimous.
The Rockport‑Fulton ISD Board of Trustees held nominations and votes for officer positions and approved several contracts and purchases during the meeting.
Nominations opened for board president; an unnamed trustee moved to nominate Ken (Kenny) Cruzan, and the board approved the nomination (the chair announced "motion carries 7–0"). Mikaela Austin was approved as vice president by acclamation, and Bonnie Randall was approved as secretary by acclamation.
On finance and operations matters, trustees approved a district credit‑card application with Prosperity Bank with a $40,000 limit and authorized issuance of cards to four named individuals, naming Mary Kay Henderson as the administrator for district and individual accounts. The motion passed by voice vote (recorded as 7–0).
Operations staff described an RFP for turf/mowing services; three bids were received and staff recommended renewal with PRR Landscaping and Lawn Care LLC as the lowest bidder. The board approved a two‑year mowing contract (06/01/2025–05/31/2027) with a possible two‑year extension.
Trustees also approved a retrofit of baseball and softball field lighting to LED at a total project cost of $354,000 to be paid from Bond 2022 funds. Operations said the LED retrofit would reduce power consumption by about 40 percent and allow remote scheduling and control of lights.
All motions recorded on these items carried with unanimous board support as announced during the meeting.
