Pleasant Hill SD 1 board approves personnel and administrative designations, reviews $400,000 construction add-ons
Summary
The Pleasant Hill SD 1 board unanimously approved personnel and administrative resolutions — including hiring a middle-school teacher and designating insurance carriers and legal counsel — and discussed incorporating up to $400,000 in district-funded alternates into a seismic CMGC project, with staff noting reimbursement timing from state grants.
At its meeting, the Pleasant Hill SD 1 board of directors approved several consent and administrative items, including personnel appointments, the district’s officers and depositories for 2026–27, and insurance and benefits carriers, while district staff presented proposed district-funded alternates to a seismic construction project totaling up to $400,000.
The District administrator recommended hiring Chris Tockman for a middle-school language arts and social studies licensed position, noting that Tockman had served in a temporary role earlier in the year. The personnel consent agenda passed on a voice vote recorded as 4–0.
District staff described construction alternates to be included in the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) procurement for the seismic project, listing interior painting, locker-room and restroom repairs, lighting upgrades, gym ceiling and acoustic work, flooring abatement, door-frame replacements and related plumbing and casework. Staff recommended authorizing the inclusion of district-funded scope in the CMGC process “in an amount not to exceed $400,000” and to authorize the superintendent to execute necessary amendments and change orders, with staff noting that most district expenditures will be reimbursed by state grant timing.
When asked how the alternates would be funded, staff said the district had funds available for interim payments and expected reimbursement from state sources; the record in the transcript does not show a separate recorded vote for the CMGC alternates during the meeting excerpt provided. The board discussed the timeline for incorporating work to minimize duplication and mobilization costs and to preserve schedule efficiency.
The board also approved an exhibit designating district officers and grant agents for 2026–27 (including naming the superintendent as budget officer and the business manager in designated roles) and approved property/casualty and workers’ compensation carriers and agents of record for the fiscal year (naming Lauren Williams of Wayne Insurance as agent of record). These administrative items were approved on voice votes recorded as in favor.
Staff presented recommended legal counsel and audit designations for the fiscal year, including the Oregon School Boards Association for policy services and the law office of Mike Reeder for land-use matters; the board approved the exhibit listing legal agents.
The meeting closed with discussion of next year’s board meeting calendar and work sessions; the chair announced the board’s next meeting for May 18 at 7:00 p.m.
What happened next: personnel and administrative approvals were finalized at the meeting; the CMGC construction alternates were recommended for inclusion but the transcripted excerpt does not show a recorded final vote on the $400,000 authorization.
