The Imlay City Board of Education met for its fiscal organizational meeting on July 28, 2025, and unanimously adopted its existing bylaws and policies, set the regular meeting dates for 2025–26, designated banking depositories and approved account signatories and signature rules.
Vice President Kaylee Kaeding moved that the Board adopt the existing bylaws and policies for Board operations and for operations conducted through the Intermediate School District, and Trustee Ashley Wolford supported the motion; the board recorded an aye vote from President Sharon Muir, Vice President Kaylee Kaeding, Trustees Greg Dennis, Alex Lengemann, Ashley Wolford and Laura Zelenak and carried the motion unanimously. The Board cited Bylaw 0151, which requires the Board to organize annually not earlier than July 1 and not later than July 31.
The Board set its regular meetings to occur in the Educational Service Center conference room on the fourth Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m., with the exceptions for 2025–26 that December, May and June meetings will be held on the third Monday. That motion was moved by Trustee Ashley Wolford, supported by Trustee Laura Zelenak and approved unanimously.
On district finances, the Board designated Tri-County Bank, ChoiceOne Bank and the Michigan School District Liquid Asset Fund (MILAF) as depositories for school funds and authorized the Superintendent and the Director of Business Services to contract with those institutions as necessary to conduct district business; the motion was moved by Trustee Laura Zelenak and supported by Trustee Alex Lengemann and was approved unanimously.
The Board also approved a set of authorized signatories and signature rules for district accounts, authorizing the Superintendent and the Director of Business Services to sign checks, contracts, agreements and purchase orders. The minutes record account names and numbers and the required signature combinations for each account (for example, ChoiceOne Accounts Payable #48000906 requires any two of Stu Cameron, Melissa Fleury, Amy Swantek or Dawn Katkic). Other listed accounts include payroll, money market investments, 2020 capital projects checking, lunch fund, student activity, athletic fund, 2020 bond proceeds, debt account and food service accounts; account numbers are recorded in the minutes.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:07 p.m. after Vice President Kaylee Kaeding moved to adjourn and Trustee Greg Dennis supported the motion. The minutes were later approved on August 25, 2025; the signature lines in the minutes show Sharon Muir as Board President and Melissa Fleury as Board Secretary.
