Summary

The board raised purchase order limits (supplies/furniture/equipment to $25,000; repairs/services to $15,000, effective 04/09/2025), approved a retro‑commissioning contract with RHA for HVAC work and renewed an annual asset‑tagging agreement with Kroll LLC.

Several administrative and operational approvals were adopted to streamline district operations and advance facilities work.

Miss Montalvo recommended raising purchase order limits so routine procurements do not await monthly board meetings: supplies, furniture and equipment authority would rise from $20,000 to $25,000 and repairs/landscaping/other services from $10,000 to $15,000, effective 04/09/2025. Board members asked about comparators (one member noted Redondo’s $50,000 limit); staff said the increases were modest but would allow more timely purchasing.

The board also approved a retro‑commissioning agreement with Richard Heath & Associates (RHA) to evaluate and optimize HVAC and control systems to align with original design intent for district sites, and approved the annual asset‑tagging engagement with Kroll LLC, which provides auditors with up‑to‑date capitalization and asset‑management reports.

All items were approved by vote. Staff said the Kroll engagement is required annually by auditors and that the retro‑commissioning work is intended to identify system improvements before significant capital work.
