Board names legal counsel, designates depositories and authorizes routine purchasing
Summary
The Pequot Lakes board approved Kennedy & Graven as legal counsel, designated three district depositories, and authorized the superintendent or business manager to procure goods and services within budget and below bidding thresholds.
At its Jan. 5 organizational meeting, the Pequot Lakes Public Schools board approved Kennedy & Graven as the district's legal counsel and authorized the superintendent, board chair, and vice chair to contact counsel as needed. The motion carried on a 6‑0 vote.
The board also designated Old National Bank, First National Bank North, and PMA as official district depositories. In the same set of motions the board authorized the Superintendent of Schools or the Business Manager to lease, purchase, and contract for goods and services within the approved budget and up to—but not exceeding—the district’s formal bidding threshold.
These actions are routine fiscal and administrative authorizations intended to ensure continuity of operations and contracting authority for 2026. The board recorded each motion as carried 6‑0.
Questions about specific bid thresholds or limits were not specified during the meeting; the board did not change its bidding policy in this session.
