The meeting was called to order at 5:34 p.m. with Tim Burgess, Susan Franklin, Dave Hazekamp, and Jason Kennedy present.

  1. Overnight Field Trip Request – The Committee discussed an overnight field trip request from the boys and girls basketball teams to the historic Hoosier Gym in Knightstown, IN on November 22-23, 2024. The teams will use the trip for team building purposes, while also competing in preseason scrimmages. The trip will be funded through fundraising and the internal accounts for each of the basketball programs.
  2. Resolution Agreement: Office for Civil Rights (Website Accessibility) – The Committee discussed a resolution agreement presented to the District by the Office for Civil Rights to resolve a website accessibility complaint filed by an out of state complainant. The agreement would be entered into voluntarily, it would not constitute an admission of liability or non-compliance, and it sets forth improvements that would need to be made to the District’s website to provide accessibility to the District’s public facing website to people with disabilities. The District, and its attorney through SET-SEG, recommend approving the agreement.
  3. Thrun Law Firm July 2024 Policy Updates – The Committee discussed the July 2024 policy update recommendations from Thrun Law Firm. The Committee discussed taking additional time to review the policies in the annual update from Thrun Law Firm due to the extensive changes being recommended for consideration.
  4. Potential May 2025 Bond Proposition – The Committee discussed placing an item on the Board meeting agenda to further discuss the potential May 2025 bond proposition to align with the District’s Master Facilities Plan. The idea of a community survey was presented to help determine how the proceeds of a potential bond should be spent.
  5. Other: The Committee discussed the annual financial audit and the projected ending fund balance.
  6. Public Comment: None
  7. Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 6:24 p.m.

  1. August 2024 Personnel Report – The Committee reviewed the Personnel Report for August 2024. This report included each of the recommendations for new hire, resignations, retirement notices, transfers, and positions that are still posted and vacant in the District.
  2. Tentative Agreements – The Committee discussed the tentative agreements with the Fruitport Clerical Association, the Fruitport Instructional Assistants Association, the Fruitport Maintenance Association, and the Fruitport Transportation-Food Service Association.

Business and Finance Committee, Tuesday August 13, 2024, 6:00 p.m., Superintendent’s Office

Meeting Minutes
Attendance: Kris Cole, Dave Hazekamp, Jason Kennedy, Elroy Buckner, Jessica Wiseman, and Mark Mesbergen

  1. Garage Lifts
    Mark discussed the RFP and the one response that we received to replace our current lifts at the bus garage. The bid was to replace our current in ground lifts in two bays (includes the concrete work to fill in the holes) to lifts that are portable. Our current lifts are 20 years old and need to be replaced. The Building and Site funds will be used to pay for the lifts.
  2. Collective Bargaining Tentative Agreements
    Mark gave an update on the tentative agreements that were on the Personnel Committee. He discussed the financial impact of those agreements.
  3. Other – Van with wheelchair lift
    Mark presented a price on a van with a wheelchair lift. We currently have a student that will attend CTC in the afternoon that needs a wheelchair lift and we do not have a way to get the student from the CTC to the High School. This is due to our 6 special education buses (only buses with a lift) being on the routes at the time in which we would need to pick up the CTC students. The district is recommending to purchase this van using Building and Site Funds.
  4. Other – Board Policy
    Jason gave an update on the board policy updates.

    Meeting adjourned at 6:36 p.m.

Secretary Benson shares a list of transportation agencies offering free and discounted rides to the polls on Election Day

LANSING, Mich. – With less than a week before the Nov. 5 General Election, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson advised voters to make their travel arrangements for casting a ballot at the polls or an early voting site. She shared a list produced by MichiganVoting.org of nonpartisan organizations and companies that are offering free-of-charge and discounted rides to the polls and early voting sites.

“It’s important that transportation not stand in the way of any eligible Michigan citizen and their access to the ballot box,” Secretary Benson said. “I’m glad lawmakers worked to lift the ban on providing rides to voting locations and grateful to the organizations who have stepped up to provide transportation for citizens who need it to vote. These services will be essential for many, especially older citizens and voters with disabilities, to ensure every eligible voter can make their voice heard in this election.”

Multiple transportation agencies across the state are offering transportation to help voters get to the polls. Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA) is offering systemwide free rides now through Nov. 5 for riders registering to vote, those participating in early voting, and those taking their ballot to a drop box or polling site. Riders simply need to inform the bus driver upon boarding of their intent to participate in voter-related activities.

“The Capital Area Transportation Authority has provided free rides on Election Day since 1988, and we’ve worked hard to build on that legacy in recent years,” said CATA Board Chair Nathan Triplett. “After voters approved Proposal 2 in 2022, establishing their constitutional right to cast an early vote in every statewide and federal election, the value of public transportation to promote greater voter participation, and improve equity and access to the ballot box for all eligible voters, became more significant than ever before. Our core competency — to provide safe and reliable transportation to the public — is especially important to those who do not have or cannot afford transportation. Transportation should never be a barrier to participate in democracy.”

“We are proud to support our community’s right to vote by offering free fares all day on November 5th,” said Dwight Ferrell, General Manager at SMART. “This initiative aligns with the Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson’s efforts to increase voter access and participation across Michigan. At SMART, we believe in facilitating civic engagement and ensuring that transportation is never a barrier to casting a vote.”

Ride-sharing company Lyft is offering a 50% off one ride to or from the polls on Election Day with the discount code VOTE24. In addition, the Detroit Bus Company (DBC) will be utilizing its own busses, as well as volunteers and their respective personal vehicles, to offer residents in Detroit, Highland Park, and Hamtramck free rides to the polls. To request a ride with DBC, visit this website. For a complete list of rides to the polls, visit MichiganVoting.org.

“Voting is one of the most essential acts we can do as citizens,” said DBC Owner Andy Didorosi. “We will have also done our duty as a local transportation organization if we can help even a handful of Detroiters of any creed make the journey on voting day who otherwise wouldn’t be able to do so. That’s a win in my book.”

Paid transportation to the polls is made possible due to the passage of voting rights bill HB 4568, which lifted the ban on hiring transportation for rides to the polls. Secretary Benson issued a statement following the Senate’s passage of the measure in October 2023.

Eligible residents who still need to register to vote in the General Election must now do so in person. Under Michigan law, online and mail registration is not permitted within 14 days of an election. Those registering in person may request, complete, and submit an absentee ballot in the same visit to their clerk’s office.

Visit Michigan.gov/Vote for more information about elections and voting.
