Board approves Witskin Tennis Complex bid, adopts commemoration policy and passes consent items

At its meeting the Carmel Clay Schools board approved multiple administrative items including the personnel report, claims and payroll; awarded a bid for court replacement at the Witskin Tennis Complex; and adopted changes to district policy 7250 on commemoration of school facilities.

Chair presented the consent agenda (personnel, claims and payroll); a motion was made and seconded and the board approved the consent items by voice vote. The chair called for an aye and stated "Motion carries." No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.

On the Witskin Tennis Complex project, Mr. McMichael told the board the recommendation was to award two contracts (court replacement and electrical work) after receiving three bidders. He said the total recommended award is $3,981,500 and that alternates for fencing were excluded because pricing was excessive; the district will seek alternate fencing quotes later. The board moved, seconded and approved the recommended bid by voice vote; the chair stated the motion carried.

Dr. Dudley brought proposed revisions to policy 7250 (commemoration of school facilities), explaining the board had reviewed the policy and concluded changes were needed to clarify renaming or commemorative requests. The board moved, seconded and adopted the revisions by voice vote; the chair again announced "Motion carries." The transcript records the outcomes but does not include formal vote tallies.
