Post Falls trustees adopt 2027 budget, approve multiple vendor contracts
Summary
The Post Falls School District board unanimously adopted an amendment to the 2026 budget and the fiscal year 2027 budget and approved several procurement awards, including food-service and transportation contracts; the board also approved an easement agreement for the Seltice project.
The Post Falls School District No. 273 Board of Trustees unanimously adopted an amendment to the fiscal year 2026 budget and approved the district's fiscal year 2027 budget during their June 8 regular meeting at River City Middle School.
Chief Financial Officer Josh Gittel presented the budget amendment and the proposed 2027 budget. The board approved the 2026 amendment on a motion by Trustee Wagner, seconded by Trustee Johnson, and then adopted the fiscal year 2027 budget on a motion by Vice Chair Rodriguez, seconded by Trustee Johnson. The transcript records unanimous aye votes for both measures; specific line-item amounts and totals were not specified in the meeting record.
While reviewing procurement results, Gittel presented a set of vendor awards the board approved by unanimous vote. The district awarded the dairy bid to Terry's Dairy (the only bid received); a pizza bid to Sundance Pizza dba Domino's Pizza (the only bid received); the produce bid to Spokane Produce (lowest bid); the non-food item bid to Insight (lowest bid); and a bus procurement to Western Mountain Bus Sales. The board also approved Resolution 26-27 authorizing district entry into the North Idaho Region 1 Co-op for Nutrition Services.
Before the procurement approvals, the board voted to approve a Construction and Easement Agreement for the Seltice Easement Project, which includes an emergency access and utility easement. The agreement was presented by Scott McArthur of McAuthur Engineering and approved on a motion by Vice Chair Rodriguez, seconded by Trustee Boni.
The board handled the consent calendar in two parts: an initial approval that moved items 8.3.2 and 8.3.3 to the end of the meeting for additional review and a later motion to approve those two items. At the board's request, approval of the PFHS Code of Conduct (consent item 8.4) was tabled until the July meeting to allow time for recommended updates.
The meeting record does not include detailed financial figures for the budgets, nor does it record dissenting votes or nay ballots; all recorded actions passed unanimously. The board did not take any contested or divided votes on these items during the meeting.
The board adjourned at 6:57 p.m.
