Auction Proposal Provider Discussion: 

GovDeals 

Walton Realty & Auction LLC. 

RE/MAX

 

Minutes

Mr. Nadeau presented the three proposals that were submitted. Tiffin City Schools appreciates the time that all three providers put into providing the information presented. There was one provider that has stronger farm land experience for auctioning. 

Mr. Nadeau informed the board that the district received money from the Tiffin Charitable Foundation for the ROX program. Mr. Nadeau met with Mrs. Reinbolt and discussed returning the check back to Tiffin Charitable Foundation. Tiffin City Schools currently has roughly 6,000 dollars in the program fund already being held. That amount will provide services for students for 3 years. It is not fiscally responsible to accept the monies while having money available in the account already.
