Board hears election results presenter: ‘65.8% yes’ and bond validation steps outlined
Summary
A board presenter reported that a referenced local election passed with a reported 65.8% yes to 34.2% no and outlined immediate next steps: adopt a resolution to confirm results, engage bond counsel and consultants, validate bonds in January–February and finalize a project list for financing.
A presenter to the Catoosa County School Board reported that a recent local election measure passed by a reported margin of 65.8% yes to 34.2% no on roughly 7,000 votes, representing about 15% turnout, and outlined steps the district will take to move the measure forward.
The presenter said the board would be asked to adopt a resolution at an upcoming meeting to confirm, declare and approve the election results. He listed key professional partners the district expects to engage: Davenport, financial consultants, bond lawyers and Wiggins Law Office. He said bond-validation work would occur in January–February, with project lists and financing plans developed through March and April.
The presenter thanked Superintendent Nicks, Director Carter, Renzo Wiggins and others for their work on the project and noted the district’s plan to finalize borrowing amounts and related documents with counsel. The transcript includes the presenter’s summary of the vote tally and next steps but does not record a formal vote adopting the resolution during the session.
Some numeric and textual lines in the meeting transcript (notably several financial line-items and the measure name referenced as “East Floss” or “East Plus 7”) include transcription inconsistencies; the presenter’s numeric summary of the election result (65.8% yes/34.2% no and about 7,000 votes) is the clearest figure reported in the meeting record.
