Brighton board approves bond resolution, construction change orders and a slate of administrative items
Summary
The Brighton Central School District Board approved a bond resolution by roll call, authorized construction change orders related to soil testing, and approved audit and reserve plans, cooperative bids, a settlement, and successor agreements during its June 9 meeting.
At its June 9 meeting the Brighton Central School District Board of Education approved a bond resolution, authorized construction change orders tied to soil testing, and carried a series of routine administrative and procurement motions.
The bond resolution (item 8) was moved by Karen Hatch and seconded by Sue Gasparino. The board approved the resolution by roll call; the minutes list votes of yes from Larry Davis, Dr. Christina Lee, Carrie Lbertino, Dr. Susan Gasparino, Karen Hatch, Esther Winter and Clayton Jones.
The board approved construction change orders greater than $50,000 to cover soil‑testing and interim remediation steps identified during the athletic‑field work. District leaders noted the superintendent may approve changes up to $50,000 but these items exceeded that threshold. Board members praised DFiori and other partners for collaborative problem solving on adjusted scopes.
The audit committee reported on internal and external risk audits and recommended a corrective action plan to improve documentation for disposal of district property. Karen Hatch described the corrective action plan and the committee’s recommendation; the board accepted the internal audit assessment and approved the corrective action plan. The board also approved the recommended reserve plan allocations for insurance, capital, employee retirement and vehicle reserves.
Additional approvals included a data‑security (NDPA) partnership resolution, a settlement agreement related to a 2017 construction matter, cooperative bids for athletics and kitchen refrigeration equipment, and successor agreements with administrative and office professional employee groups. The consent agenda — covering personnel actions, special education committee reports, an FBLA national field trip and two gifts — was approved as presented. The meeting closed with remarks honoring retiring board member Larry Davis and formal adjournment.
All listed motions were moved, seconded and approved during the meeting; the bond resolution was recorded by roll call as noted above.
