002once and then pushed off 27. So we got some information that Don Franklin had some good used SRO cruisers. They come from Cherokee, North Carolina, the tribal police department. There are 17 and 18 models. One has 70 something,000 and the others have in the low 80s for $10,000 a piece. So they're already out and in the cages, new battery, fresh service. So, we're ready to go. We just have to get stickered up. With your approval, I would recommend that we purchase those four S. Any questions? If not, need a motion. to purchase the full used vehicles. Make a motion to purchase vehicles. Motion second declare vacancy in the office of superintendent. It doesn't say take action. Mr. Johnson said it was okay. Go ahead. We don't have to. We can do a motion second just
003anybody wants to do that motion. We declare vacancy office superintendent. Motion second. discuss or take action to post vacancy of superintendent for the superintendent screen. I'll make a motion we take action to post inform [Music] board chairman to appoint one board member to the superintendent screening committee. I said we just let you take it if you want to. That's that's fine. I've never I've never sat on it, so I'll take it. That's okay. Do we need a motion to No, you just chairman. As chairman district consultant for superintendent search any discussion on this we've used KSDA we've used CASA on the last two it's just a committee just forming Me myself, I won't say let John just form the committee. He won't be involved in it. He would just set it up and set the
004meetings up. There's he wouldn't have no involvement in it and it would be a third of the cost that job is forming the committee. He he just they vote on the committee of the schools and and personnel and Melanie leads that. I mean, she can tell you even in the past when you hire Melanie actually leads the elections. Like what I would do is show up, make sure they go through the closed meeting part of it. They need to discuss the applications in close session just like you all would. And then they'll make a recommendation to you all of their top choices if you all in the future. Before we get to that point, you all tell me you want to send three names, five names, two, six, seven, whatever. And then the committ itself
005would make the decision of which names they'd come forward. And you all don't have to go with their choices, but certainly should should probably look at whatever names they send forward at that point. But it's basically overseeing the screening committee process, which is which will be as detailed or as lack of detail as the actual committee members elected want to be. motion. There's no more discussion. We need to make a motion take action. Yeah. If you want me to do it, yes. If you But if you want KSBA or CASA, you can make a motion for that, too. It's just whatever you all decide. He said he would just do his normal hourly rate. It would be a third of I think KSBA charges 10,000 roughly to do it. Melody Melody handles the elections anyway.
006I promise you that's the hardest part of this like like conducting the elections between the principles, the staff members and the classified and certified parents. That's the hardest part of this whole process. And Melanie has done that multiple times already. on her own anyway. So, I I don't have any problem doing it with her because I know she'll be able to get that part taken care of for us. John Levens as the hiring consultant for the superintendent search. I second that motion second. Brex a motion and second to make a motion to motion. It's good.
