Solanco SD board approves appointments, contracts and facilities repairs by voice vote
Summary
On Feb. 2 the Solanco School District board approved an appointment to the Lancaster CTC, renewed special‑education legal services at an increased hourly rate, and approved several facilities repair contracts (dust collector change order, Smith Middle School grease trap replacement, Swift Middle School cooling‑tower media replacement) and a personnel report; all actions were recorded as carried by voice vote.
The Solanco School District board on Feb. 2 moved through routine business and approved several motions by voice vote.
Under business item 6.1 the board approved an alternate member appointment to the Lancaster County Technical Center (Lancaster CTC); a motion was made and seconded and the chair announced “Motion carries.” The transcript records a motion to approve an alternate (speaker 12) but does not record mover/second names in a roll‑call tally.
The board also approved a renewal of special‑education legal services (the transcript references attorney Jen Donaldson as the firm providing special‑education counsel). Presenters said the attorney’s hourly rate request increased from $215 to $240 and recommended renewal; the board approved the attached service renewal by voice vote.
Facilities items approved included: a reduced change order for a dust collector (amount lowered to $2,716.83 after the vendor removed a previously questioned 10% markup); a contract award to Garden Spot Mechanical to replace a failing wooden grease trap at Smith Middle School (lowest quote $9,400); and a replacement of cooling‑tower media at Swift Middle School (quote $14,970; district personnel to do the installation with vendor‑provided materials). Each recommendation was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote as recorded in the meeting transcript.
Doctor Bliss presented the personnel report, noting a resignation (Levi Palmer) and the creation of a stipend position to run sound for the spring musical; the board approved the personnel report by voice vote. The meeting adjourned after confirming no executive session was needed.
Where the transcript reports only voice votes, it does not include roll‑call tallies or individual member votes; the meeting record shows each motion carried as announced by the chair.
