STUDY AND VOTING
SESSION:
CONSIDER APPROVING THE
SERVICES OF MR. DENNY COLGAN AS A THIRD PARTY NEGOTIATOR BETWEEN PRESCOTT
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AND BILL AND SHARY FELDMEIER FOR A POTENTIAL LEASE
AGREEMENT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 937 RUTH STREET
Mr. Steve Campbell moved that the Governing Board approve the
services of Mr. Denny Colgan as a third party negotiator between Prescott
Unified School District and Bill and Shary Feldmeier for a potential
lease agreement for property located at 937 Ruth Street. Mrs. Dee Navarro
seconded the motion.
Mrs. Navarro asked, what
about the $2,500 limit the Board had discussed at the previous meeting?
Did we want that in the motion?
Mr. Kapp noted that he had
given Mrs. Renee Raskin a figure of no more than $4,000.
President Newton stated
that he did not feel that it would be a good idea not to put a limit on
the services.
Mr. Campbell noted that a
limit had been set and that most people performing this type of service
would be paid $10,000 or more.
Mr. Staley asked if we
could find out if it could be put on a more simple basis. Mr. Kapp
responded no, that he wanted to see what happened tonight.
Mrs. Navarro stated that
she did not have a problem with $4,000.
Mr. Staley asked if the
motion could be amended.
Mrs. Dee Navarro
moved to amend the motion by adding “with the total amount for services to
add up to $4,000 and if it goes over it must receive prior approval from
the Governing Board” added to the end of the original motion. Mr. Steve
Campbell seconded the amended motion.
President Newton called
for the vote on the amended motion.
Mrs. Dee Navarro
voted aye, Mr. Tom Staley voted aye, Mr. Steve Campbell voted aye, and
President Newton voted aye. The motion carried 4-0.
President Newton stated
that he thought the district needed someone like Denny Colgan to do this
since none of us are prepared to do it.
Mrs. Navarro stated that
she felt the Board needed to distance themselves from this and thought
that having a third party negotiator was a good idea.
Mr. Kapp noted that when
Denny Colgan has worked with this and has had a chance to work on it, then
we can have an executive session in order for him to update the Board.
Mrs. Navarro stated that
she felt an executive session would be important prior to voting on the
proposal.
President Newton called
for the vote on the original motion.
Mrs. Dee Navarro
voted aye, Mr. Tom Staley voted aye, Mr. Steve Campbell voted aye, and
President Newton voted aye. The motion carried 4-0.
ADJOURNMENT
Hearing no objection,
President Newton adjourned the meeting at 7:43 p.m.
