Pequot Lakes board adopts resolution accepting $22,964.75 in donations, including $10,000 for fitness center
Summary
The Pequot Lakes School Board adopted a resolution accepting $22,964.75 in gifts and grants on April 20, 2026. Donations include $10,000 from First National Bank North for a fitness-center project and multiple athletics contributions for uniforms and travel.
A board member introduced and moved adoption of a resolution titled "RESOLUTION ACCEPTING DONATIONS/GRANTS" at the Pequot Lakes Public Schools regular meeting on April 20, 2026. The minutes record that the board "gratefully accepts the following donations," listing gifts intended for both athletic programs and a fitness-center project.
The minutes cite Minnesota statutes as authority for the action, quoting Minnesota Statutes 123B.02, Subd. 6: "The board may receive, for the benefit of the district, bequests, donations, or gifts for any proper purpose and apply the same to the purpose designated. On that behalf, the board may act as trustee of any trust created for the benefit of the district, or for the benefit of pupils thereof, including trusts created to provide pupils of the district with advanced education after completion of high school, in the advancement of education." The extract also references Minnesota Statutes 465.03 regarding acceptance of grants or property by resolution.
The extract lists donor names and designated purposes. Notable entries include Bobbertown Boosters Club — $4,700 for track uniforms; multiple Patriot Activities Club entries totaling $4,114.75 for boys and girls basketball (banquet plaques, state sweatshirts, charter bus service and uniforms); First National Bank North — $2,000 for state fan buses and $10,000 for the fitness-center project; and individual donations of $40 and $100 toward the fitness-center. The totals on the document add to $22,964.75.
The minutes show a series of names associated with the extract (Amy Sjoblad; Dena Moody; Kim Bolz-Andolshek; Mariah Hines; Pamela Johnson; Ross Nelson) but do not specify who moved or seconded the motion, nor do they record a roll-call tally in this excerpt. The record indicates no conflicts or recusals. The resolution language and accompanying statutory citations indicate the board adopted the resolution to formally accept the listed donations; the file does not include an explicit vote count in the provided extract.
