Spring Branch ISD approves most consent‑agenda items; interlocal agreement item tabled
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda except for two pulled items; it tabled item C10 pending vendor quotes and approved item C11 after an explanation from the superintendent. Several contracts, budget reports, grants, and minutes were approved by unanimous vote.
At its Aug. 26 meeting the Spring Branch ISD board approved the bulk of its consent agenda, covering budget status and amendments, facility program updates, multiple contract awards, grant and gift acceptances, payroll and operating expenses, and minutes of prior meetings.
Trustee Chris Earnest moved and Trustee John Perez seconded approval of the consent agenda with the exception of items C10 and C11; the motion passed 7-0. Item C10 (listed in the consent packet as an interlocal agreement with Texas A&M University for athletics) was later tabled on a motion by President Lisa Andrews Alpe and seconded by Trustee Perez "until the district receives quotes from both Coke and Pepsi," a motion that also passed 7-0. Vice President Courtney Anderson requested that item C11 be removed from the consent agenda for separate discussion; Superintendent Jennifer Blaine explained the nature of the public policy services company and the types of services it provides, and the board subsequently approved C11 by a 7-0 vote.
Approved consent items included Change Order #001 for Ag Farm Renovations (2022 Bond), contracts for playground and transportation services, contract renewals for investment advisory services, increases to existing contracts, the Agricultural Science Center water easement, the Spring Branch Trail easement with the City of Houston, and acceptance of grants and gifts. The minutes list the items but do not reproduce contract details or vendor quotes for the items approved or tabled.
