Board approves consent agenda, designates banks and signatories

At the Jan. 20 organizational meeting the Belding Area School District Board approved a consent agenda that named authorized depositories and staff signatories. The motion as recorded in the minutes designated Independent Bank, Mercantile Bank, Huntington Bank and the Michigan Liquid Asset Fund as depositories for school funds. The minutes also record signature authorities: checks to be signed by Superintendent Brent Noskey or Director of Finance Slater Martin; contracts, agreements and purchase orders to be signed by Slater Martin or Noskey.

The Board approved an annual retainer contract for Thrun Law Firm, P.C., designated Director of Finance Slater Martin as the Electronic Transfer Officer, and delegated specified treasurer and secretary responsibilities (including election duties) to Slater Martin and Shari McKee. "There were no changes or amendments to the aforementioned Consent Agenda items; therefore, the Consent Agenda items were considered approved." The minutes do not show a separate roll‑call or recorded mover/second for the consent agenda items.
