Summary
The board unanimously approved a 10‑year stadium naming rights deal with Heritage Bank ($18,000/year), accepted a guaranteed minimum $142,000 bid from Tech Reboot Inc. to buy ~411 MacBook Air laptops, and carried the consent agenda 5–0.
The Northfield Public Schools Board on Monday approved several items of formal action:
- Stadium naming rights: The board voted to approve a naming‑rights contract with Heritage Bank for Memorial Field. Heritage Bank submitted the highest proposal at $18,000 annually for 10 years (the district’s minimum was $12,000). Upon approval the facility will be known as Heritage Bank Stadium at Memorial Field. The motion carried on a roll‑call vote (5–0).
- Sale of decommissioned MacBook Air laptops: The board accepted a bid recommendation to sell approximately 411 decommissioned MacBook Air laptops to Tech Reboot Inc. for a guaranteed minimum price of $142,000. Director of finance Val Mertesdorf told the board the district had budgeted about $100,000 for the disposition and will realize roughly an additional $42,000 compared with that budget. The motion passed on roll call.
- Consent agenda: The consent grouping (including some table‑file personnel items) was approved on a 5–0 roll‑call vote.
All recorded votes for these items were unanimous according to the meeting record. The board noted that the updated stadium naming contract in the table file reflects language edits requested at prior meetings. The MacBook Air sale will require coordination with the district’s technology team to wipe devices and inventory units before transfer.
