DAVIS COUNTY COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT

BOARD OF EDUCATION

Special Meeting

June 23, 2009

UNOFFICIAL

A quorum being present, the special meeting was called to order by President, Marty Owen at 5:00 p.m.

Superintendent:                                   Sam Miller

Patrons of the district present:   Dan Roberts, Director of Support Services; Craig Schwerdtfeger of Struxture Architects; Larry Dix of Story Construction Co.; Bobby Scott of Story Construction Co.; Mindy Amstutz, secretary; Scott Spurgeon of the Bloomfield Democrat; Ken Turner; and Ken Padget, district mechanic, arrived at 5:10 p.m.

During the time for public comment, Ken Turner voiced concerns about the inconvenience of meeting times.  Superintendent Sam Miller addressed Mr. Turner’s concern stating that at the beginning of each school year the time of the regular board meetings is set.  This year the decision was made to have the meetings the third Monday of the month at 7:00 p.m.  Due to recent issues the board needed to schedule special meetings and work sessions.  Special meetings and work sessions are scheduled at different times than the regular monthly meetings; however, these meetings follow the 24 hour notice rules and comply with Iowa open meetings laws.   

Ken Wuthrich moved to approve the tentative agenda as follows:

            Consideration of construction bids

            Resolution making award of construction contracts

            Discuss transportation building

            Adjournment

Rod Lynch seconded the motion.  AYES- Lynch, Owen, Reese, Wuthrich.  NAYS- None.  Motion carried. 

Larry Dix of Story Construction presented a Recommendation for Award of Contracts.  Mr. Dix explained that the combined value of the recommended awards is well within the allowable construction cost of the project budget.  Mr. Dix answered questions from the board members. 

Junior Reese moved to approve the Resolution Making Award of Construction Contracts to the Lowest, Responsive, Responsible Bidders.  Ken Wuthrich seconded the motion.  AYES- Lynch, Owen, Reese, Wuthrich.  NAYS-None.  Motion carried. 

Dan Roberts, Director of Support Services, and Ken Padget, district mechanic, were on hand to discuss the transportation building.  Dan and Ken answered questions from board members concerning the former Southern Iowa Electric Cooperative property and our current facilities.  Dan Roberts will work on getting more information for board members regarding the former Southern Iowa Electric Cooperative property. 

There being no further business to come before the board for consideration at this time, upon motion made by Ken Wuthrich and seconded by Rod Lynch, the President declared the meeting adjourned at 6:20 p.m.
