Summary

The Norris board approved the consent agenda and several operational and facilities-related expenditures, including an $11,697.50 HVAC repair, a $43,046 Honda Odyssey purchase, a $13,729 lunch-fund cooler replacement, a $69,000 fundraising‑funded JEO contract and approval to proceed with CMAR contract documents.

At the regular meeting the board took a series of formal actions on routine and capital-related items. Key approved motions included:

- Consent agenda: Motion to approve routine consent items (minutes, financial reports, personnel) and the motion carried by voice vote.

- Condensing unit repair (High School auditorium/backstage): Approved repair using depreciation funds for $11,697.50. Motion carried by voice vote.

- Vehicle purchases (depreciation fund): Approved purchase of a 2026 Honda Odyssey from Honda Lincoln for $43,046 and a 2025 Ford Explorer from Zulma Ford (purpose: reduce mileage reimbursements and serve district travel needs); board members voiced assent.

- Lunch-fund equipment repair: Approved use of lunch-fund balance to repair/replace a high‑school walking cooler quoted at $13,729.

- Titan Activity Complex (concession/restroom) JEO contract: Approved a $69,000 contract to be paid from fundraising dollars; administration emphasized that no district tax dollars would be spent on the JEO contract and that final scope (for example, bleachers) depends on bids and fundraising.

- Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR): Board approved CMAR contract documents (preconstruction and related general conditions) to proceed with design and cost estimating; legal counsel noted the contract allows termination if a bond is not approved by voters.

Where recorded, votes were carried by voice and described in the record as affirmative; the meeting transcript shows unanimous or near-unanimous assent on approved items but does not provide roll-call tallies with full member names for each vote.
