Board affirms procurement limits, names financial advisor and auditor
Summary
Resolutions authorize the superintendent to contract within budget, require board authorization for transactions above $175,000 (Minn. Stat. 471.345), permit change-order approvals up to $175,000, approve Ehlers as financial advisor and LB Carlson as district auditor.
The adopted organizational resolutions authorize the superintendent or designee to lease, purchase and contract for goods and services within the approved budget, but they require board authorization for any transaction exceeding the bid threshold identified in statute. The minutes specify the threshold as $175,000 "per Minnesota Statute 471.345"; transactions above that amount require specific board approval.
The resolution also authorizes change order approvals for building program contracts up to $175,000 when requested by the construction manager and architect, within the budget. The board approved Ehlers as the district financial advisor and LB Carlson as the district auditor.
These actions formalize the district's procurement and oversight procedures for 2024–25 and set administrative authorities for the superintendent and Director of Finance to execute transactions consistent with statute and board policy.
