Lakewood Board approves multi‑million bills lists, transportation contracts and consent agenda
Summary
The Lakewood Board of Education on Aug. 21 approved the business and superintendent consent agendas, including combined warrant and supplemental bills lists totaling millions, multiple transportation awards, contract renewals and facility contracts, by recorded motions and unanimous or majority votes.
The Lakewood Board of Education voted on Aug. 21 to approve its business and superintendent consent agendas, confirming large bills lists, transportation contracts and a package of routine administrative actions.
Kevin Campbell, the board secretary and business administrator, certified that as of July 31 no budget line had exceeded appropriations and presented bills lists. The board approved a warrant for $4,694,884.90, a supplemental list of $9,618,645.21 and an additional supplemental list of $75,615.61, and accepted the July treasurer and board secretary reports.
The board recorded and awarded multiple transportation RFQs and trip quotes to vendors (including DAG, School Bound, Hartnett, Garas, St Mark School Bus, Happy Lime and Smart School), and approved parental contracts to compensate parents transporting students for significant medical needs at specified per‑diem rates. The agenda also included renewal of the district notification and alert system contract with Admire Pro LLC, with tiered per‑student pricing listed in the agenda.
Action on these items was taken through standard motions. The motion to approve the business agenda and superintendent agenda was made by Heriberto Rodriguez and seconded by Chanina Nakdimen; the board recorded aye votes and noted two members absent for votes in several roll calls. Where the agenda required vendor awards and contract renewals the motions carried and award amounts were recorded in the public agenda.
The approvals were processed under the meeting’s consent agenda style and the session concluded with a motion to adjourn, carried by the board. No formal debate on the bills lists or the transportation awards appears in the public minutes.
What happens next: procurement and contract offices will proceed with onboarding vendors and executing awarded contracts as appropriate, and payments will be processed from the listed budget accounts.
