Board hires Leon Alcala, PLLC as bond counsel and approves $510.82 payment increase
Summary
Trustees approved a contingency-fee engagement with Leon Alcala, PLLC to serve as bond counsel and approved a $510.82 increase to cover a bond payment remainder and prior counsel fees; both actions passed unanimously.
At the Aug. 11 meeting the board adopted a resolution to approve a contingency-fee engagement letter with Leon Alcala, PLLC, noting the firm's experience and that contingency pay means no fee unless a transaction is completed.
"I move that the Board of Trustees adopt the Resolution to Approve a Contingency Fee Engagement Letter with Leon Alcala, PLLC to Serve as Bond Counsel, as presented," the minutes record. The motion, made by Jessica Hughes and seconded by Ricky Bodovsky, passed 7-0.
In a separate financial motion, trustees approved a $510.82 supplemental payment to cover the remainder of the 2024–25 bond billing cycle plus $500 in previous bond-counsel service fees. Dr. David Ummel moved the payment increase and David Trest seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
The two actions together prepare the district to complete a pending bond payment and to retain counsel for bond-related work on a contingency basis ahead of the Nov. 4 bond election process.
