Budget committee elects Michaela Dakota Palm chair, names Sydney Goodrich vice chair; minutes approved
Summary
At its April 20 meeting the Rainier SD 13 budget committee elected Michaela Dakota Palm as chair and Sydney Goodrich as vice chair. The committee also approved prior meeting minutes; the packet contains an inconsistent date reference to the minutes (May 20 and May 12, 2025).
Budget committee members nominated and elected Michaela Dakota Palm as chair and Sydney Goodrich as vice chair during the April 20, 2026 meeting. Members conducted hand/voice votes; the transcript indicates the motion to nominate Palm carried after a hand vote and that an unnamed member said, "I abstained." No roll-call tally by name was recorded in the meeting transcript.
The consent agenda included a motion to approve prior budget committee minutes; the packet and speakers referenced both May 20, 2025 and May 12, 2025 at different points. Committee members approved the minutes by voice vote despite the discrepancy; staff committed to publishing the official minutes and resolving any date discrepancy.
These procedural items were completed early in the meeting and were followed by the business manager’s detailed budget presentation and the superintendent’s budget message. The committee scheduled its next meeting for May 11 at 5:00 p.m. and requested budget questions be submitted to the district office by April 30 at 4:00 p.m.
