Board approves multiple grant resolutions, developer-fee increase and construction contracts
Summary
Los Banos Unified trustees approved several resolutions and construction actions, including a Department of Rehabilitation contract, preschool and TK/K facilities grants, a Level One developer-fee update after a public hearing, and bid awards for two portable classrooms at Grasslands Elementary.
The Los Banos Unified School District Board of Trustees on a single evening adopted several resolutions and approved construction contracts and budget-related actions.
At the meeting, trustees unanimously adopted Resolution 03-26 to approve a contract with the California Department of Rehabilitation for transition partnership program services, with a roll call vote recorded for the trustees present. The board also approved Resolution 10-26 to participate in the preschool facilities grant program and Resolution 11-26 to participate in the transitional kindergarten and kindergarten facilities grant program; both passed by roll call votes.
The board opened a public hearing on Resolution 12-26, which updates the district t the Level One developer-fee rates. District staff had corrected a figure on page 56 of the packet at the start of the meeting, clarifying the residential development rate shown should read "from $517 per square foot to $538 per square foot." No members of the public addressed the hearing, and trustees adopted Resolution 12-26 by roll call.
On facilities actions, the board authorized staff to seek bids for a manufactured special-education building at Grasslands Elementary and awarded a bid to AMS for two LEAP portable buildings at Grasslands, authorizing the superintendent or designee to sign contract documents and issue a notice to proceed.
Board members also approved Change Order No. 3 for the junior-high fire alarm upgrade with Collins Electric.
In reporting out of closed session, trustees said they approved a waiver from the physical-education graduation requirement for a named Los Banos High School student, denied a liability claim against the district and authorized litigation actions on two case numbers. The board took no action on an employee-discipline item.
The meeting concluded with the board approving the consent calendar and declaring intent to adopt a broad set of board-policy updates at a future meeting.
Votes and motions referenced in board remarks and roll calls were recorded in the meeting transcript.
