At its April 28 meeting the Ithaca board approved the consent agenda, a tentative administrative budget resolution for TST BOCES, election of the district's BOCES representative, a SEQRA Type II determination for an elementary repairs project, and a capital bid award; all motions passed unanimously.
The Ithaca City School District Board of Education approved multiple routine items at its April 28 meeting, including budget and capital measures the board said were consistent with committee recommendations.
Votes taken (all passed; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the public portion):
• Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda covering personnel reports, student items and minutes after a motion and second; the chair called the question and the motion passed unanimously.
• Tentative administrative budget for Tompkins‑Seneca‑Tioga (TST) BOCES: The board considered and approved the resolution regarding the tentative administrative budget as presented. The motion was moved and seconded and passed with all members present voting in favor.
• Election of BOCES representative(s): The board approved the election of component‑district representatives to serve on the TST BOCES board; members thanked long‑serving representative Brad Granger for his service.
• SEQRA/type II determination for Cayuga/Cuba Heights emergency repairs: District counsel and staff explained that the state environmental review classification for this interior repair is Type II (lowest level), meaning no significant environmental review was required; the board adopted the resolution unanimously.
• Capital improvement bid award: The board accepted the low responsive and responsible bid for the 2019 Capital Improvement Project (Phase 3B2, contract 1109) and awarded the contract to Sports Incorporated as recommended; the motion passed unanimously.
Board members who moved and seconded these motions were recorded in the meeting minutes (for example, motions were moved by Adam and seconded by Jacob or Emily on various items); the public record shows unanimous approval by members present but does not include a named roll‑call tally in the spoken record.
