This is a first reading for the resolutions  (plural) authorizing the sale of the of the property on Marion Street.  The first of the two resolutions will return at the next Board meeting with staff requesting a vote.  The second will return after staff have received and evaluated offers and can make a recommendation to the Board.
Subject:
M.3. Nutrition Services - Contract Extension
Speaker(s):
Russ Buttram
Description:
The Board has previously discussed the plan to extend the existing SODEXO contract through its final option year and follow up with the required RFP next year.  If approved, this is the package GAPS will send to ODE to effect that extension.  Based on prior conversations, the Board may wish to focus on first three pages (updated contract terms) and the last four pages (Food Service Management Company Monitoring Form).
 
Regarding basic contract terms, SODEXO highlights the fact that the CPI used to index their prices climbed by 3.7%, but they were able to recommend an meal price increase of only 2.5% ($0.05 per meal).
 
Regarding the monitoring form, the previous form was completed in 2019.  COVID interfered with the process last year, and complicated this year’s review as well.  The form accurately indicates several areas for SODEXO’s improvement.  GAPS’ oversight process needs to improve as well.  I am confident we can both sides in the 2021/22 school year.
 
Action required by staff:
Depending on remaining questions or concerns, the Board could elect to
- Bring this back as "old business" at the next meeting or
- Make a motion to approve the SODEXO contract extension as presented by staff
 
Subject:
M.4. Bus Financing
Speaker(s):
Russ Buttram / Ashley Netzel
Description:
On January 11, 2021 , the Board approved the purchasing of four school buses for a total amount $528,085.  This item selects and approves a specific financier for that purchase.  As is traditional and required, we solicited proposals.  Four companies responded and Municipal Asset Management offered the best terms.  This is the same company that offered the best terms last year.
 
Action requested by staff:
Make a motion to enter into a financing agreement with Municipal Asset Management in the amount of $528,085
