Board approves construction change orders, $180,296.62 Savvas purchase and several personnel actions
Summary
The Madison County school board approved multiple construction change orders and credits, authorized a $180,296.62 Savvas mapping purchase, created a 0.5 maintenance position at Madison Southern, hired a finance contractor identified as 'Patrick and his LLC,' and declared the Bellevue property surplus for sale with a lease option to the City of Richmond.
At a Madison County school board meeting, trustees approved a slate of routine but consequential items on the action agenda, including construction change orders, a curriculum-material purchase and several personnel and contracting steps.
The board voted to approve multiple construction change orders and credits for ongoing projects. The motions covered HVAC and site adjustments at Foley Middle, Madison Southern and Madison Middle, and several Waco Elementary change orders. Specific items recorded in the meeting record include a Waco Elementary change order to Atlas Enterprises for $4,500 and an Allen Company change order for $6,690; the board also approved a $5,499.83 credit for Frye Mechanical at Madison Middle and a $5,499.83 charge for Blue Sky Electric. (Amounts are taken verbatim from the meeting record.)
The board approved a Savvas mapping purchase for curriculum and technology priced at $180,296.62 after a motion and recorded vote in favor.
On personnel and contracting, trustees voted to create and ratify a 0.5 (part-time) maintenance position at Madison Southern. The board also voted to hire a finance contractor described in the meeting as “Patrick and his LLC”; the contractor was identified in the transcript only by the given name Patrick.
The board voted to declare the Bellevue property (the district’s current alternative school site) surplus and to enter into a contract with the City of Richmond to sell the school building and enter into a lease option as presented. The staff presentation said Lot 2 is a 4-acre parcel with an appraisal of $915,000 and that the city would lease additional acreage in the rear.
The board also declined further review of a student grievance that had been investigated at the school and central office and denied at both levels; the motion not to consider further review passed after legal counsel was consulted.
What happens next: staff will proceed with the Bellevue property sale/lease steps as authorized, and project teams will continue implementation of approved change orders and the Savvas materials purchase.
