Board OKs extension and $50,000 cap increase for Greenlink Education contract
Summary
Trustees approved an extension and a $50,000 increase (raising the cap from $135,000 to $185,000) to the district's Greenlink Education contract to cover additional grant-development work, with trustees noting the solar contract is separate.
Dr. Kavanaugh highlighted the district's ongoing partnership with Greenlink Education, naming the group's work to secure green-energy grants and stating a return-on-investment figure the board heard earlier in committee.
Trustee Curran moved to extend the Greenlink Education contract and increase the not-to-exceed cap by $50,000, citing additional workload tied to pursuing a $20,000,000 community grant. Trustee Lopez asked whether the solar-panel contract was included; staff clarified the solar procurement is a separate contract and the Greenlink extension covers other green initiatives and grant-development work. "So their current contract for this fiscal year is $135,000. We're asking to increase that cap to 185,000," a staff member said, explaining the increase is precautionary to cover built hours and additional grant work.
After clarification, the board approved the extension and cap increase by voice vote (recorded as 8–0). Board members noted Greenlink's earlier committee presentation and the vendor's role in bringing external grant opportunities to the district.
