 MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING
MITCHELL SCHOOL DISTRICT 17-2
January 31, 2023

The special meeting of the Board of Education was called to order by President Deb Olson at
5:30 PM at the Mitchell Career Technical Education Academy at 821 North Capital Street in
Mitchell South Dakota, Davison County.
Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
Roll call of members present: Deb Olson, Brittni Flood, Matthew Christiansen, Terry Aslesen,
and Shawn Ruml. Absent: None. Others present: Dr. Joseph Graves, Superintendent, Steve
Culhane, Business Manager.
Motion #355220
Motion by Christiansen, seconded by Flood to approve the agenda as presented. Motion
carried.
At this time members of Puetz Design + Build and Schemmer Architect firm went over the bids
received for the HS Construction project. Each of the 34 bid packages were looked at and
discussed. The cost of the Base bid which is the building of the new High School is at
$45,618,901.28. This cost does include Alternate #9 which was a deduct for Made in America
option and Alternate #10 which was a deduct for waiving the cost of a Performance Bond.
There were 5 bid packages whereby the low bidder was not awarded the bid as their bid did not
meet the specifications called for in the documents. Each of the successful bidders will be
entering into a contract with Puetz Design + Build as Puetz Design is the Construction Manager
at Risk for the project. As discussion ended, a motion was made by Member Aslesen to reject
all bids at this time and look for additional cost savings in design and rebid the project at a later
date. This motion died for a lack of a second motion. Discussion was heard with regard to the
total cost of the project and the need to look at asking the voters of Mitchell to pass a bond
issue to complete the athletic portion of the High School. At this time, Board member Aslesen
made the motion to defer the bids until the next regular scheduled board meeting and to have
the Senior High Staff surveyed on what they want moving forward with the project and those
results brought to the meeting. This motion died for a lack of a second motion.

on Alternates 1 through 8 that were submitted as well.

meeting at 7:01 pm. Motion carried.

Food Buying Group—Year 6

From: Joe Childs, interim superintendent

Nature of action requested:

Board Action X
Board Information
Scheduled report

Description of the item (including nature of the problem, program covered, impact, board
action desired, etc.)

Food Service Director Leann Carmody has recommended to me that we once again join the
Eastern South Dakota Food Buying Group, made up of Brandon Valley, Brookings, Yankton,
and Mitchell. The intent here is to continue to pool our purchasing and thereby reduce the
costs of food purchases while also maintaining the quality and selection of food available to
us and our students. Like any number of the other changes Mrs. Carmody has made, this
has been another positive step towards providing excellent meals to our students while
efficiently managing the costs of doing so. In years 1-6 of this food buying group, we were
able to garner significant savings in food costs with no compromising of food quality or
variety. There is even some evidence that the group arrangement has helped with supply
chain issues. Given these successes of this program, we would like to continue our
membership in the group. The membership agreement is included here (behind this cover
sheet) as supporting documentation.

 Membership Agreement for Eastern South Dakota Food Buying Group
(ESDFBG)
This membership agreement, made and entered into this _____ day of _________________, 2023, by and
between the Brandon Valley School District, Brookings School District, Mitchell School District and the Yankton
School District, hereinafter referred to as “Districts”;
Whereas, there are mutual benefits from pooling purchasing power for food served in school Child Nutrition
Programs which include lower cost, better quality and better service, and
Whereas, the Brandon Valley School District, Brookings School District, Mitchell School District and Yankton
School District all share similar purchasing requirements for food products,
Therefore, the districts mutually establish the Eastern South Dakota Food Buying Group (ESDFBG).
Purpose:
The purpose of the ESDFBG is to reduce overall costs for food products through volume buying of agreed upon
food categories while maintaining a high level of quality in products and supplier service through pooling
quantities into one Request for Proposals (RFP) to vendors/distributors.
Process:
All federal and state procurement regulations will be followed. The member school districts will annually agree
to the terms of this agreement. The Coordinating School District will coordinate the activities of the ESDFBG
and will serve as the contact for vendor, press or other public forum communications for the ESDFBG. A RFP
process will be utilized and will be available to all qualified distribution centers wishing to submit proposals.
The ESDFBG will select the winning distributor for the group based on criteria established in the RFP.
Commitment:
The group selects a market basket mix of items along with Net off Invoice (NOI) items to be quoted through
the RFP process. Member districts individually calculate their volume/usage for the next school year. Once a
vendor/distributor is awarded a contract through the RFP process or a rollover agreement (up to four years),
each member district is committed to and shall purchase its share of the volume included in the RFP. Each
member district shall follow through on its individual purchasing commitment. This is done to ensure the
integrity of the RFP with the brokers and manufacturers.
The ESDFBG will conduct usage reviews a minimum of two times per year to ensure that members are
purchasing the items as specified in the RFP and are on target to meet their purchasing commitments.
A member district failing to fulfill its purchasing commitment is individually responsible for costs associated
with that failure and that member district may lose its membership status in the ESDFBG by a majority vote of
the other voting members.
RFP Process:
Each spring the members will evaluate and update the RFP to define the market basket and NOI items to be
included. Proposals to add new items will be discussed among the members and if the majority of voting
members agree, those items will be added to the new RFP.
The RFP will state the terms and conditions for deliveries and the ordering procedures.

20
Members/Participants Roles:
The Coordinating School District shall coordinate the activities of the ESDFBG and will serve as the contact for
vendor, press or other public forum communications for the ESDFBG. Brookings School District will serve as
the Coordinating School District. The Coordinating School District may be changed by a majority vote of the
members.
Voting members will be school districts of enrollments of 2000 students or more. Each member District shall
be entitled to one vote and will be expected to be active in the decision making process, attend group
meetings, and help with special projects. In the event of any tie vote within the membership of ESDFBG,
district seniority combined with individual director seniority as a member of ESDFBG, with consecutive years
of membership considered only, will take precedence followed by the district enrollment.
There may also be non-voting buying participants within the ESDFBG admitted by a majority vote of the
member districts. Each buying participant must commit to purchasing its identified quantity of food. A buying
participant failing to fulfill its purchasing commitment is individually responsible for costs associated with its
failure and may lose its participant status in the ESDFBG by a majority vote of the member districts.
A member or participating district wishing to exit the group agrees to fulfill its current school year obligation
and notify the Coordinating School District by February 1st of its intent not to participate for the following
school year.
The voting members reserve the right to deny, for any reason, participation to any applicant to become a
buying participant.
Indemnification:
Each member District shall defend, indemnify and save harmless the other member Districts, from and against
any and all claims, actions, suits, liabilities, judgments, losses, damages, costs, charges, attorney fees and
other expenses incurred or suffered by said member District arising out of member District’s failure to comply
with its obligations under this agreement.
By signing below, I agree to abide by all membership requirements of the Eastern South Dakota Food Buying
Group. Furthermore, I understand that although the buying group negotiates price with vendors, all business
transactions occur between the Vendors and individual school districts in the buying group.

Nature of action requested:

Board Information
Scheduled report

Description of the item (including nature of the problem, program covered, impact, board
action desired, etc.)

Back in 1887, a small parcel of land was given to the Mitchell School District for the sole
purpose of accommodating a future school house, however, once that land ceased to be
utilized for that purpose, it was stated that the title would revert to the parties of their heirs,
assigns, or successors in interest.
The Mitchell School Board will need to approve the ‘quit claim deed’ as we are no longer
using the property, in that manner, so the land may revert back to the grantee.

Description of the item (including nature of the problem, program covered, impact, board
action desired, etc.)

This matter is concerning the alley shared by Mitchell School District and William Wittstruck,
the owner of Lots 3 and 4 of the Weaver’s Squares Addition. Since the alley is a dead end
on the south of Lot X and the passage has not been used nor maintained by the City for
several years, the board should consider signing a petition to vacate the alley. In addition,
the school board should consider making a $200 contribution toward the legal expenses
incurred by our neighbor, William Wittstruck.

This time will be devoted to the Superintendent’s Office sharing information with the Board
that doesn’t require board action and may not necessarily fall into the category of a report. It
might include curricular developments, professional development possibilities, possible
legislative issues, issues that other schools, particularly those among the Large Schools Group,
are facing and other items that would be of interest to the Board and the public.
