Board rejects superintendent's recommendation for employee-benefits agent after 2-5 vote
Summary
Superintendent Carlos M. Gonzalez Jr. recommended Valley Risk Consulting as the Employee Benefits Agent of Record (RFQ #26-116); the board voted 2-5 against the recommendation in open session after a closed-session review.
Superintendent Carlos M. Gonzalez Jr. recommended the highest-ranked firm, Valley Risk Consulting, as the Employee Benefits Agent of Record under RFQ #26-116. Trustee Jaime Escobar moved to approve the superintendent's recommendation and Trustee Ricardo A. Perez seconded the motion. The motion received two votes in favor and five opposed (Mary Lou G. Cruz, Yadira A. Barrera, Iv Garza Jr., Karina Mascorro and Jesus Rios Jr.), and therefore the recommendation was not approved (vote 2-5).
The board had discussed RFQ #26-116 in closed session under Texas Government Code Section 551.071; the minutes record no action in closed session. The open-session tally recorded the five trustees opposed by name; the transcript does not include the board's public rationale for the five negative votes in the meeting minutes.
