BOARD OF EDUCATION
Minutes - April 29, 2009

1.  Attendance
Board members present:  Bob Ackerman, Pat Albright, Roger Hall, Paul Holman, Susie Johnston, and Tony McCown.  Pat Riggs-Henson was absent.  Also present were:  President Mary Spilde; Executive Assistant to the President Tracy Simms; and Associate Vice President Greg Morgan. 

A.  Chair Johnston called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m.

2.  Discussion/Action Items
Spilde explained that the college is required to start deferred maintenance projects by the end of the week.  Bids and proposals have been acquired through a fair bidding process.  Some of the contracts are over $100,000 and therefore need to be approved by the board. 

Dave Willis, Director of Facilities Management and Planning, described the projects, some of which were originally scheduled for the bond that will now be done by deferred maintenance.  To date, 52 people have been hired, and contracts have been rewarded, which will create or maintain jobs where otherwise people would have been laid off. 

Ackerman moved that Resolution No. 531 be approved with the amendment that the word "exemption" in the caption be changed to "exempt."  McCown seconded.

Motion passed unanimously.

Meeting adjourned at 5:20 p.m.
