Chisholm Board unanimously awards $2.47 million building bonds and adopts issuance resolution

The Chisholm Board of Education on April 2 voted to award bids and authorize $2,470,000 in Taxable Combined Purpose Building Bonds to fund district needs.

During the special meeting, the board "moved to accept American Heritage and Baker Group as the lowest bidder for the $2,470,000 Taxable Combined Purpose Building Bonds of Chisholm Public Schools," a motion made by Danielle Deterding and seconded by Cory Moore. The board recorded votes as Dustin Baylor — Yea, Danielle Deterding — Yea, Cory Moore — Yea; Andrew Ewbank was absent. The motion to accept the bidders passed, 3–0 (1 absent).

Immediately afterward the board considered a resolution to issue the bonds, "providing for the issuance of taxable combined purpose building bonds in the sum of $2,470,000 by this school district, authorized at an election called and held for such purpose; prescribing form of bonds; providing for registration thereof; providing for levy of an annual tax for the payment of principal and interest on the same; and fixing other details of issue." Cory Moore moved the resolution and Danielle Deterding seconded; the board approved it with the same 3–0 tally (one absent).

The minutes record the approvals and formal vote tallies but do not include further details on planned use of the bond proceeds, bond interest rate, or timetable for sale and delivery. The agenda had included a procedural item to appoint acting officers "to execute any and all documents pertaining to the bond sale" if necessary, but the minutes do not record any appointment or vote on that item.

The meeting was then adjourned. The minutes are signed by Dr. Dustin Baylor, Clerk, and Danielle Deterding, President.
