Commission fills two school‑board vacancies, approves multi‑year copier leases for schools and county offices
Summary
The Franklin County Commission appointed Sara Marhevsky (District 5) and Caycee Roberts (District 7) to the school board and approved multi‑year lease/maintenance agreements for postage and copier equipment with Pitney Bowes and Konica Minolta. Votes were recorded by roll call.
The Franklin County Commission on July 15 appointed two people to fill School Board vacancies and approved multi‑year leasing arrangements for postage and copier equipment used by the Board of Education and county offices.
Appointments: Sara Marhevsky was appointed as School Board Representative for District 5 on a 14–0 roll‑call vote after a nomination by Commissioner Helen Stapleton. For the 7th District seat the commission considered two nominees — Caycee Roberts and Betty Jo Drummond — and appointed Caycee Roberts by an 11–3 roll‑call vote; the minutes record each commissioner’s vote in full in the meeting record.
Technology leases: Commissioners also approved three resolutions authorizing multi‑year lease and maintenance agreements. Resolution 7a‑0719 authorizes a multiple‑year lease and maintenance agreement with Pitney Bowes for the Board of Education’s postage equipment; Resolution 7b‑0719 authorizes a lease/purchase and maintenance agreement with Konica Minolta for the Franklin County Trustee; and Resolution 7c‑0719 authorizes a Konica Minolta lease for the Board of Education’s Prevention/Coalition operations. Each of those resolutions was approved by roll call (each recorded as 14–0 in the minutes). Committee materials in the meeting packet described a Konica Minolta proposal for the trustee office that lists an all‑in monthly amount (packet attachment) and described the Board of Education’s need to upgrade older equipment.
Other administrative items: The commission approved the Juvenile Services grant pre‑application and the Library Technology grant pre‑application and received various insurance certificates for county and school coverage. The approvals clear the way for staff to pursue the grants and to finalize procurement and contract paperwork under the specified lease terms.
What the commission recorded: Motions and roll‑call tallies are recorded in the minutes; the packet contains lease summaries and staff memos describing the purpose of the equipment and the intended funding sources (operating budgets or grant reimbursements).
