Wink-Loving ISD authorizes superintendent to negotiate purchase of lots for Special Education/DAEP site; trustee abstains
Summary
The board authorized the superintendent to negotiate purchase of three lots near the administration building for a potential Special Education/DAEP facility, and Trustee Raymond Dodd abstained from the vote due to proximity/ownership ties.
Wink-Loving ISD trustees authorized Superintendent Scotty Carman on Dec. 15 to negotiate for the purchase of three lots (Wink Original Block 59, Lots 19'22) across from the administration building as a potential site for a Special Education/DAEP facility. The board recommended consulting a licensed appraiser, broker, or title company as needed; tentative discussion cited $30,000 as a possible price point.
Trustee Chad Evans moved to give the superintendent authority to negotiate and to seek assistance from appraisers, brokers, and title companies; Trustee Jerome Dewberry seconded. Trustee Raymond Dodd abstained from the vote because minutes note he owns land/house behind the lots purchased earlier; the motion passed 6-0 with one abstention.
Board discussion noted that the property would require demolition of the existing structure before construction, and that the district's attorney indicated an affidavit might be needed to state the nature and extent of interest in the property. The recommendation emphasizes superintendent authority to negotiate rather than immediate purchase, and the minutes record an abstention to avoid a conflict of interest.
