Votes at a glance: tax levy, BOCES bond share and routine contracts approved by Caledonia‑Mumford board
Summary
The board set the 2026–27 tax levy at $7,923,478, adopted a bond resolution for its $1,721,173 share of a Genesee Valley BOCES capital project (roll call 7–0), and approved a range of cooperative agreements and vendor contracts; warrant number 2 was discussed separately and approved with an abstention on one reimbursement item.
The board approved multiple formal actions during the July 14 meeting. Key outcomes include:
- Tax levy: The board set the 2026–27 tax levy for the approved budget at $7,923,478. The superintendent said the district will send explanatory communication to taxpayers about a prior correction and equalization impacts.
- BOCES bond: The board adopted a bond resolution to finance the district’s share of the Genesee Valley BOCES capital project. The resolution authorizes up to $1,721,173 in general obligation bonds for the district’s share; the roll‑call vote passed 7–0.
- Contracts and cooperative agreements: The board approved intermunicipal cooperative transportation agreements (with York and LeRoy CSDs), West Fire Systems contracts (inspection, testing and monitoring), a water‑service contract, elevator maintenance, generator services contract (Stark Tech), cooperative purchasing agreements (Equulis/Omnia/TIPS), and a memorandum of understanding with Genesee County YMCA for after‑school services.
- Personnel and collective bargaining: The board ratified collective bargaining agreements (administrators and support staff) for 2026–29 and approved multiple routine personnel motions (stipends, summer staff, substitutes, bus drivers and attendants).
- Other items: Building use fees, substitute/stipend rates, committee appointments and policy revisions were approved as presented on the agenda.
The board discussed and approved warrant number 2 after setting it aside from the consent agenda earlier; one board member abstained from an item that was a personal reimbursement.
Why it matters: The votes finalize budget and procurement decisions needed for the district’s operations, capital projects and student services going into the 2026–27 school year.
