Smith County board approves budget amendment, school security grant resolution and multiple construction contracts
Summary
At its meeting the Smith County Board of Education approved a budget amendment to include TEMA/FEMA public assistance funds, passed a resolution related to a school security grant, and awarded construction contracts totaling $173,000 for concrete and plumbing work.
The Smith County Board of Education approved a series of routine but consequential items, including a budget amendment to incorporate public assistance grant funds (TEMA/FEMA), a resolution concerning public school security grant money, and multiple procurement awards for facility work.
Speaker 1 introduced the budget amendment and identified TEMA and FEMA as funding sources; members voted in favor on a roll-call vote and the chair announced the motion passed. The board also approved a resolution to accept or authorize a public-school security grant, with Speaker 2 moving the motion that passed on roll call.
The board awarded a $57,500 contract for concrete work in 'Sederland' to 'Tennessee Asphalt' and approved a $115,500 contract for plumbing at the former 'Saginawatt' building (to be converted into a mechatronics lab) to Charles Stone Heat and Cooling and Plumbing. Both awards were moved, seconded and approved by roll-call votes recorded in the transcript.
Other procurement and consent items on the agenda were approved by voice or roll-call votes; the chair repeatedly announced motions as passing. The transcript does not include signed contract numbers, detailed scopes of work, nor explicit budget line-item references; those details should be confirmed in the official minutes or procurement files.
The board adjourned regular business and moved toward an executive session at the close of the meeting.
