Cloverdale Unified trustees approve agenda and consent calendar ahead of audit deadline
Summary
Trustees approved the meeting agenda and consent calendar and were told that several consent items (2–7) lack completion paperwork needed for an upcoming audit; trustees were reminded that budget and MOU documents are due by the end of the month.
The Cloverdale Unified Board of Trustees voted to approve the meeting agenda and its consent calendar after a Trustee said several consent items lacked required completion paperwork ahead of an imminent audit.
A Trustee told the board that “the reason for the 2 through 7 is that, they were apparently never done. And so, we have an audit coming up, of some of those funds, and they need by October 31.” The Trustee said the items had been bundled so the district could produce the paperwork showing a notice of completion and settle payments before auditors review the records.
The Chair explained the board uses a consent calendar to handle routine items in a single vote and that any trustee may pull an item for separate discussion. The Trustee also noted a memorandum of understanding and its budget are due at the end of the month and should be included in materials to meet the deadlines: “And that budget is due by the 30 first. That’s why it’s on here also.”
The board approved the agenda by voice vote after a motion and second. Later the board moved and seconded approval of the consent calendar; the Chair indicated trustees Lopez, White and Garrison were absent when those votes were taken.
Board members did not debate other individual consent items at length during the meeting. The Trustee’s statements supplied the key timeline and paperwork clarifications for staff: prepare notices of completion and finalized budget/MOU documentation to satisfy the auditors’ October‑end deadlines.
