Votes at a glance: consent agenda, two small invoices and executive session approved
Summary
At its Dec. 16 meeting the Smithfield School Committee approved the consent agenda, two small vendor invoices (RGB and Lakeshore Environmental) and voted to convene an executive session under Rhode Island statutes to discuss collective bargaining and security.
The Smithfield School Committee took a set of routine votes on Dec. 16, approving the consent agenda, two vendor invoices, and a motion to enter executive session.
Consent agenda: Speaker 2 moved to approve the consent agenda (minutes, bills and homeschooling approvals) and the motion passed by voice vote after a second.
Invoices: The committee approved RGB invoice number 6683-30 not to exceed $1,563.08 after a motion and second. The committee also approved Lakeshore Environmental invoice (transcript reference 'over 24-363') not to exceed $1,633, both by voice votes.
Executive session: The committee voted to convene executive session pursuant to Rhode Island General Laws cited in the transcript (42-46-5(a) for collective bargaining and 42-46-5(8) regarding school security). The roll-call-style acknowledgments recorded in the transcript name Miss Stafford, Miss Hogan and Miss LeBlanc each saying "Aye," followed by the chair saying "Aye." The motion carried and the committee entered executive session.
Procedure note: Several motions required town council approval or further administrative follow-up (for example, the OPM agreement approved earlier in the evening was described as requiring town council approval).
