Votes at a glance: Williams Bay board approves routine contracts, personnel changes and policy readings
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda, personnel transactions, administrative and support staff contracts, several vendor contracts (IT, cleaning, locker-room work), policy second readings, and a generator and insurance renewal; most votes were taken by voice and recorded as 'Aye.'
At its April 14 meeting the Williams Bay School District board approved a series of routine and budget-related items, including personnel actions, vendor contracts and two policy second readings.
Key approvals included the consent agenda and personnel transactions (one resignation and multiple hires), a three-year managed IT contract with Skyward Technology Solutions at about $25,005.90 per year, a one-year renewal contract with MidAmerican Building Services for cleaning, and a set of contracts for locker-room renovations (painting, partitions, epoxy flooring, plumbing). The board also approved administrative and district administrator contracts reflecting a 2.95% CPI-based increase.
Policy actions: the board approved the second reading of policy 34541 (acceleration) and policy 421 (procedures for early admission). The board also approved moving the July regular meeting to July 28 following the annual meeting and approved the purchase and installation of a Kohler generator from Formos Electric for $24,345. The district's property/liability/workers compensation renewal with EMC Insurance (5% increase) was also approved.
Most items were approved by voice vote; recorded tallies were not specified on the record. The board discussed budget impacts and scheduling for some projects but did not withhold approval on these routine items.
