The meeting opened with a discussion of the state of the access control project bid evaluation process. The committee noted in open session that Clay Lucas, an LMS board member, had submitted one of the multiple bids for the project. Mr. Lucas notified the committee of the potential for a conflict of interest at that time, and recused himself from any discussion of the project or bid selection process. Mr. Lucas was not present at this meeting.

The facilities committee acknowledged that, if they decide to recommend assigning a contract to Mr. Lucas, the resolution of any conflict of interest issues must be discussed and voted on by full board, minus Mr. Lucas, as detailed in the LMS Board Governance Policies adopted in 2016.
