Board approves LTFM budget and Roam River special-ed cooperative; organizational resolutions passed
Summary
The board approved the LTFM (facilities maintenance) budget, accepted the Roam River Special Education joint powers agreement and passed a series of organizational resolutions including designation of official depositories, district publication, bond counsel and legal counsel.
The Princeton Public School District board approved several action items at its meeting, including acceptance of the district’s LTFM (facilities maintenance) budget and authorization to join the Roam River Special Education cooperative by a joint powers agreement.
LTFM budget: The board reviewed the LTFM budget (previously discussed in December) and approved it after a motion to accept the budget (moved by Eric Strandberg, seconded by Jen). Board members noted that some projects were added to Fund 6 as presented.
Roam River Special Ed cooperative: After discussion and a motion to accept the nominee for the special-ed cooperative joint powers agreement, the board voted by roll call and approved the JPA. Board members indicated this district would be the last to act on the agreement among participating districts.
Organizational resolutions and designations: During the organizational portion of the meeting the board passed multiple resolutions and approvals, including: designation of official depositories (list of banks and funds named in the motion), designation of the Union Times and the district website as official publications, designation of Dorsey & Whitney as bond counsel, approval of district legal counsel, and resolutions authorizing short-term investments, lease-purchase and contracting authority, and facsimile signatures for the director of business services. Those organizational items were approved by voice or roll-call votes as recorded in the meeting minutes.
