The Southmoreland School District board approved an HVAC preventive maintenance agreement with H. L. Thomas Inc. for the district’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in the amount of $64,820. The chair presented the contract amount and the board approved the motion by voice vote.
Committee member Gregor disclosed during the vote that his son works for H. L. Thomas but stated he "has no financial interest in the corporation." A staff member responded that, under the ethics act, Gregor’s situation does not constitute a conflict of interest as defined by the act.
