The Lake Havasu Unified School District governing board unanimously approved a business-services resolution (Resolution 25-26-02) during a special session Oct. 31, 2025, updating who is authorized to sign district checks.
Dr. Snow, speaking for district staff, said the resolution was approved previously at the board's July 9 meeting and is being revised to reflect personnel changes. "We're removing our business consultant, Ms. Farrar, and adding our new CFO, Ms. Ranton, and our HR director to support back to that resolution, for signing checks being authorized to do so. This is a maintenance resolution and does not affect any substantial change in our current operating procedure," Dr. Snow said.
Board members moved and seconded approval of Item 3.1; the presiding official then called the roll. Board members recorded their votes in the affirmative, and the motion passed 3-0.
The resolution updates internal signatory authority to match current district staffing and does not, according to staff, change operational procedures or controls. The board did not discuss additional changes to fiscal policy during the meeting.
After the vote on Item 3.1 the board approved a separate agenda item labeled Item 2.1 (the transcript does not specify the subject of Item 2.1) and then adjourned the special session.
