Mapleton board authorizes master electric energy sales agreement with ENGIE
Summary
The board adopted a resolution authorizing the district treasurer to execute a Master Electric Energy Sales Agreement with ENGIE Resources LLC (endorsed through Power4Schools), citing compliance with Ohio open meetings law; the resolution and funding appropriation were approved unanimously.
The Mapleton Local School District Board of Education on March 10 adopted a resolution authorizing the execution and delivery of a Master Electric Energy Sales Agreement with ENGIE Resources LLC, the supplier endorsed by the Power4Schools cooperative program.
The resolution states the district is a member of associations that endorse cooperative purchasing under the trade name Power4Schools and that members desire to purchase retail electric energy services from an endorsed competitive retail electric service provider. It directs the treasurer to execute the Power Sales Agreement substantially in the form on file and appropriates monies adequate to pay amounts due under the agreement for the current fiscal year. The resolution also includes a finding that formal actions were taken in an open meeting, citing Section 121.22 of the Ohio Revised Code.
The motion (moved by ShaNa Benner, seconded by Vince Hartzler) passed with all five board members voting yes. The minutes note the Power Sales Agreement is "substantially in the form now on file with this Board," and that the treasurer’s acceptance of non-inconsistent changes will be evidenced by execution of the document.
The board did not include the full contract text in the minutes; the district’s treasurer was authorized to execute the agreement and to appropriate current-year monies necessary to fulfill obligations under the contract. The minutes do not specify the contract term length, pricing schedule, or anticipated annual savings/costs; those details would be found in the Power Sales Agreement on file with the district.
Next steps noted in the minutes: the treasurer is authorized to finalize and sign the agreement and the district will implement the procurement according to the executed agreement.
