Summary

Trustees designated the superintendent and assistant superintendent to conduct negotiations on prospective properties for a specified bond-funded program, clarifying that the board retains final approval authority and the designees may not bind the district.

The board designated the superintendent or assistant superintendent to conduct real-property negotiations related to district bond activities but emphasized that only the full board may authorize binding agreements.

Mister Ketzler explained the designation would permit district staff to negotiate potential purchases tied to the district’s 2025 bond (CTP program) while assuring trustees that any final agreement would return to the full board for approval. Director Bills moved the designation and Director Wallin seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote.

Ketzler said designation grants negotiation authority only and does not allow staff to bind the district without subsequent board action. Trustees asked for regular reporting as negotiations proceed.
