January 20, 2016 Garden City Board Designee, Scott Tolentino, asked
why he was not getting the minutes prior to the meeting as other board members
were. He had called and e-mailed the
district regarding the minutes at least three times.
There was discussion on what his role was. Board member Andy
Stokes said that if he is simply a member of the public then he is entitled to
either the pending minutes or the confirmed minutes after 30 days, but if he
is a non voting member of the board as
designated by state statute then he is entitled to all the information the
other board members have.
As for closed
meetings the code says they may
invite him but not shall, therefore Chair
Pete Cornia said that they would not invite him unless it was mandated by law. Cornia said “we made a decision to keep him
out.” Bryce Huefner, school board member
said that no decision had been made. He
thought that it was not right to make a blanket statement for all closed
meetings because the intent of the law was to allow the designee to have input
into school matters that affect the area he represents.
Dale Lamborn, superintendent, said that he often puts confidential notes on
what the board is voting on in the packets he sends to the board members.
Huefner said that with GRAMA rules all that could be public record anyway so
there was no need to keep that from Tolentino.
It was decided that Tolentino could have the minutes of the meetings and
a board packet.
