Ponca City school board accepts audit report with no findings; approves several contracts
An auditor appearing for Ponca City Public Schools told the board that the district's financial statements and federal single-audit testing showed no findings.

"The financial statements in this audit report are identical to the financial statements that you guys approved last summer on your estimated needs," the auditor said, and later confirmed there were no findings in the financial statement audit or the federal major program testing.

The board moved to acknowledge the audit and to complete the required audit acknowledgment form, which must be signed and notarized before the auditor files the report.

On a roll-call vote the board recorded the following votes for the audit acknowledgment: Robin Riley, Aye; Nancy Zimmershein, Aye; Anna Rowland, Aye; Don Newsom, Aye. The motion passed.

Later in the meeting the board considered a set of contracts including an agreement for laptops and desktops with Iden Enterprises LLC and asked for separate action on listed contract items (identified on the meeting agenda as items C, F and K). Board members requested explanations of individual items and asked questions about specific contract details and property impacts for one facilities-related item.

The board then moved and recorded a vote to proceed with the contracts as presented. On the roll call the board recorded: Nancy Zimmershein, Aye; Don Newsom, Aye; Anna Rowland, Aye; Robin Riley, Aye. The motion passed.

The meeting record did not specify the mover or seconder for the motions, nor did it include complete item descriptions in the transcript excerpt provided. Where contract text or scope was discussed in detail, board members asked staff to confirm documentation and property easements or maintenance responsibilities.

Ending: The board directed staff to ensure required paperwork is filed for the audit and asked staff to circulate full contract documents and clarifications about the agenda items approved.
