After the closed session, the board will re-convene in an open meeting and be asked to approve Superintendent Grant Norgaard to enter into a contract to sell and close the sale of the former LIFT building on North U.S. Highway 83. The board will also be asked to approve the Superintendent to contract with Melanie Goodenberger of Golden Plains Realty to list the bus barn property.
