Inher location is 6171 west, 118 south, here I may give you a top. Those present, do you want to just rattle it off? Yes. Board members, present are President Susie Mortensen, Vice President Crystal Thomas, Darren Marshall.
[0:30] and excused for now our
[0:31] Kirch Joyce and Mishmalor.
[0:34] Thank you very much, Hannah.
[0:36] All right. Oh, somebody's
[0:39] up again. Nope, I don't think so.
[0:42] Oh, okay, perfect. All right.
[0:44] I think the first thing is to start
[0:45] consent and ask for our board meeting.
[0:48] We see to prove the meeting board
[0:49] meeting minutes from our June meeting.
[0:52] So if anybody has any questions on
[0:55] that, otherwise I'll take a motion to
[0:57] proof.
[1:01] I prove to move. I prove the minutes. I moved to prove them. All right. This is crystal. I
[1:16] do the same. I'm
[1:20] in the June 23rd, 2026 for meeting minutes. Please say aye. Aye. Any opposed?
[1:27] all right we're good to go on those and I'm sorry Susie Mish has just joined the meeting now so I
[1:34] just want to put that on our record. Thank you welcome Mish we just approved it so you're
[1:42] great. I'm for all the exciting stuff. Can we have any public comment anybody from the public on there?
[1:50] There's no one from the public on today. All right let's move right to our main
[1:56] agenda, which is the Food Service Management. Kelly, we were all talking about school lunch before
[2:02] you hopped on, so we're just to hear about your evaluation process and what you want to do here.
[2:10] Yeah, so we sat down. We went through our RFP process and scored the proposals from lunch
[2:20] Pro, who we currently work with, and from FLA Management, a company, I believe they're
[2:27] out of Florida.
[2:30] And our evaluation committee went through, we had different non-cost categories to look
[2:40] at including their service capability plan, their experience, their personnel, and staffing,
[2:47] student and staff engagement and quality assurance and then their cost score is added to those
[2:57] things and SLA received a score of 78 lunch pro received a score of 85.9 so we would like to award
[3:09] that contract to lunch pro and continue our relationship with lunch pro perfect and what's the
[3:20] the cost on that is that in your budget so it's it's it's a month member in there that works
[3:27] yes okay okay okay just want to make sure that the dawns got that the not that number in there so
[3:33] were good. All right any other questions about the lunch pro awarding this to lunch pro or
[3:40] the process or anything like that.
[3:46] Information shared was pretty straightforward.
[3:49] I know I was like I went through and read it. We were wondering Kelly if you did a taste test because
[3:55] we saw this all the on one was a little lower than the other so good that went into that.
[4:04] There wasn't a taste test, but their description of, you know, learning or having relationships
[4:16] as like local growers and things like that was a little questionable for us whereas
[4:23] as we know Lunch Pro does a great job with that.
[4:27] So, we've been very pleased with Lunch Pro,
[4:31] other schools that we know of are very pleased
[4:34] with Lunch Pro, so I'm very comfortable with that as well.
[4:39] Yep,
[4:41] all right.
[4:42] Well, then if there's no other questions
[4:43] and Dawn says it works in the budget,
[4:46] then I will take a motion
[4:47] to approve the Lunch Pro RFP.
[4:51] This is Crystal. I move to approve the lunch pro RFP.
[4:59] All right. The stand. I get a second.
[5:01] This is Mesh. All second.
[5:03] Thank you, Mesh. Thank you, Crystal.
[5:05] All in favor of awarding the RFP for Food Service Management
[5:09] to lunch probes. Please say aye.
[5:12] Aye.
[5:13] Any opposed?
[5:16] Aye. I think you're good. Way to go.
[5:19] Keep having yummy lunch probes.
[5:23] for school, right? Yes.
[5:27] Perfect. All right. Anything else, Hannah, that we need to
[5:30] take care of today? Nothing else. Just the calendaring, the next board meeting.
[5:36] End of September. And that's it. Is that still going to work for everybody?
[5:40] That's September 28th at 430. I believe that's a Monday. Yeah. Yeah.
[5:47] That works for me.
[5:48] Okay.
[5:48] Perfect.
[5:49] Then we will plan on that.
[5:50] If anything changes, we'll get that word to Hannah.
[5:54] And other than that, thank you everyone.
