Board moves to table warrants, pulls legal payment; approves freezer purchase and school calendar

At the April 22 meeting the Mendota Unified board separated several consent-calendar items for individual consideration. Trustee Jesus Zavala moved to table warrants (item 11.1); the motion was seconded by Araceli Perez and carried on a 7-0 vote. Trustee Raul S. Varela moved to pull payment for legal services to Baker Manock & Jensen (item 11.2), which Diana Toscano seconded; that action also carried 7-0.

The board approved purchasing a walk-in freezer for Mendota Elementary School for $50,431.35 from cafeteria funds and adopted the Mendota Unified School District 2015–16 school calendar as part of the consent calendar.

Minutes record the warrants and legal-payment items as removed from the omnibus consent approval for separate handling; no additional details on the timing of further action on the pulled items were provided in the minutes.
