Indian Springs Village council approves up to $300,000 (up to $400,000 backup) to buy scoreboard for Shelby County school system
Summary
The Indian Springs Village Council adopted a resolution allowing the town to purchase and donate a scoreboard to the Shelby County Board of Education, authorizing up to $300,000 in spending — or up to $400,000 if donor shortfalls occur — and requiring payment sequencing set in the resolution exhibits.
The Town Council of Indian Springs Village voted May 20 to approve a resolution authorizing the town to buy a scoreboard and donate it to the Shelby County Board of Education.
ISV Attorney Ben Goldman introduced the measure and explained the resolution’s structure. Councilmember Dale Elliott moved to adopt the resolution “subject to and conditioned upon” an expenditure cap and a payment schedule contained in the resolution exhibits; Councilmember Richard Harley seconded the motion. Mayor Brenda Bell-Guercio and the four council members present voted in favor; one member, Ed Whatley, was absent.
The approved authorization sets an expenditure of up to $300,000, or in the event of a shortage of donations from other parties, an amount not to exceed $400,000. The motion also requires sequencing of payments “in the amounts and at the time set forth in Exhibit 1 to Exhibit B” of the resolution, as read into the record by the town attorney. The council did not provide additional budget detail during the meeting.
The vote was recorded as a motion by Councilmember Dale Elliott, seconded by Councilmember Richard Harley, and carried unanimously among those present. The council did not specify an expected delivery date for the scoreboard or the source(s) of the potential donor contributions during the meeting.
The council took the action as part of its new-business agenda; no amendments or conditions beyond the stated expenditure cap and payment sequencing were recorded in the minutes. The next procedural step identified in the minutes is implementation of the payment sequencing described in the resolution exhibits.
