7.2. Discuss, Consider, and Take Necessary Action to Contract with Knudsen Oil and Feed for Fuel Tank at the Bus Barn
Rationale:
Estimates for cost are attached. After visiting further with Bob Harper, our options are a 500 gal tank or a 1000 gal tank. The current discount on bulk fuel is negligible, due to the current state of the economy, so this purchase should no longer be considered a cost saving measure, but more for convenience only. The ability to attach three different pumps for the different entities who wish to be able to utilize the fuel exists; however, the price to do that is upwards of $15,000. So, if we move forward, we would need to work out an agreement on how to determine which group consumed how many gallons.
Action(s):
No Action(s) have been added to this Agenda Item.
Discussion:
Dr Lewis presented the fuel tank for the bus barn- 1000gl tank is the largest tank that we could supply at the bus barn. Regulations are a little touchy on the larger tank- through the state and the fire marshall. There would be no cost savings in buying fuel in bulk. At this time there would be no savings due to cost of fuel and employment, from the supplier. This is no longer a cost savings for the district, is it just a conveince thing for us, the conversation with the village and emergency department in the Village are still interested in joining in with us to help with the cost sharing of the tank and fuel. (would like to be able to see we can have three pumps on the tank with locks)
the board is looking at leasing the tank and then sharing the cost with the Village/EMergency- |

Action(s):

|
||
7.6. Discuss, Consider, and Take Necessary Action to Approve Breakfast and Lunch Prices for 2022-2023:
Rationale:
These are our pre-COVID prices. At this time, we do not see a need to increase prices. Ala Carte "extras" or "seconds" will be charged as current pricing as well, and those amounts vary based on what food item the student is purchasing.
Action(s):
