East Ramapo board approves action items including award of financial‑adviser RFP; contract terms to be presented at a later meeting
Summary
The board approved consent items and then moved and approved action items 1–12. The board appointed a vendor for the financial‑adviser RFP (action item 5) but agreed the draft contract and fee details will be reviewed by counsel and presented at a future meeting before formal contract approval.
The East Ramapo board approved consent agenda items and then took up action items 1–12. Following discussion, the motion to approve action items carried with an oral vote of "aye."
On action item 5, board members asked if award amounts and contract terms were included in the agenda. District staff and counsel said the RFP award names the vendor (appointing it as the selected vendor) but that the draft contract — which includes fees and detailed terms — has been provided to counsel for review and was not on the current agenda. The district said it expects to present the contract for formal approval at the next meeting.
The district characterized this as a two‑step process: first select the vendor through the award, then present and approve a contract that includes fees and other specifics. Board member Mister Weismandel moved the motion to approve action items; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
What to watch: the board will receive the draft contract and fee schedule for the selected financial adviser at a future meeting; the district indicated some contracts are sometimes approved at the same meeting but in this case the contract review will follow counsel's review and be placed on a subsequent agenda.
