Board ratifies $15,560 MR Hauling payment over one dissenting vote
Summary
The Perry Park board ratified a $15,560 invoice to MR Hauling and amended payables to remove an absent director’s payment; the motion passed 3–1 after discussion about lack of invoice detail and the need to formalize pre‑approval procedures for director‑authorized payments.
During the financial review, Ms. Rebecca Harris reported an invoice from MR Hauling for $15,560 that had been paid on July 24 and needed ratification. She also amended the payable list to remove the check for the excused Director Christian M. Warren.
President Darren Hill moved to ratify the MR Hauling payment and amend the payables; Director Jill Arthurs seconded. Director Steven Ostrowski stated he was concerned the payment had been made without Board approval and without detailed invoice documentation required by the contract and RFP. After discussion, the motion passed 3 to 1, with Ostrowski voting against.
The Board discussed drafting formal procedures to allow a director to authorize certain payments before the full Board’s review up to a pre‑determined amount, with Ms. Harris recommending such a policy is common when items are appropriated in the budget. The Board voted to ratify the MR Hauling check and directed staff to return with proposed pre‑authorization language for payables.
