Summary

Trustees approved a resolution delegating negotiation authority to the superintendent for real property transactions while emphasizing that final purchases must return to the board for approval.

The board approved a resolution that delegates authority to the superintendent to negotiate real property transactions on the district’s behalf, with the understanding that any purchase would be brought back to the board for final approval. Staff framed the resolution as empowering the superintendent to explore and negotiate opportunities but not to finalize purchases without trustee consent.

During discussion a staff member clarified that negotiations are informational and that the superintendent will inform the board of available options and seek a board green light or red light before taking final steps. Trustees moved and seconded the resolution and voted to approve the delegation to allow staff to pursue negotiations more efficiently while preserving board approval for any purchase.
