Romeo Community Schools board approves four Group 4 bond projects and a change-order resolution
Summary
At its Feb. 9 special meeting, the Romeo Community Schools Board of Education unanimously approved four Group 4 2021 bond projects — including playground renovations and masonry demolition — and a change-order resolution; the board also reviewed construction scheduling tied to Series I and II bond sales.
Romeo Community Schools Board of Education President Rachel Eichhorst on Feb. 9 presided over a special meeting at which the board unanimously approved a package of bond-funded construction projects and a related change-order resolution.
The board voted 6–0 to adopt Employee Services Resolution No. 13 (personnel update) and four facilities resolutions tied to the district's 2021 bond program: Resolution No. 14 (playground renovation at Hevel and Indian Hills), Resolution No. 15 (Romeo Middle School masonry demolition), Resolution No. 16 (RHS auxiliary gym project), and Resolution No. 17 (change-order approvals for 2021 bond projects). Motions were made and supported by members as recorded; each motion carried with six ayes and no nays. One member (Antoine) was noted as absent with notice.
The approvals follow a facilities committee report given by Ms. Banach, who summarized recent committee discussions on Group 3 work, punch-list items, the RHS courtyard, pending change orders, contractor bids, bid review processes for Group 4 projects, future bond planning and the Administration Building elevator. The board also noted receipt of diagrams and post-bid information for the RHS auxiliary gym project.
Board members voted on each resolution as presented: Banach moved Resolution No. 13 and No. 17; Cichocki moved Resolutions No. 14 and No. 15; Eichhorst moved Resolution No. 16. Bowman and Rice are recorded as supporting motions where noted. The recorded tallies were six ayes and zero nays for each motion; no roll-call breakdown by individual board member name was recorded in the minutes.
Separately, the board reviewed a 2025 construction timeline and discussed the sequencing of Series I and Series II bond sales alongside the design and construction schedules for Group projects. President Eichhorst had earlier requested a slight agenda amendment to move the construction-schedule discussion to follow action items and precede a second public-comment period; no formal vote on the schedule itself was recorded during the meeting.
The meeting was called to order at 5:00 p.m. and adjourned at 5:48 p.m. on a motion by Banach, supported by Rice. The meeting minutes were attested by Katherine Rice, Secretary.
