CC Regents purchase furniture for library

Clarendon College Regents approved purchases related to the institution’s new library when the board met July 15.

A bid from Check Point Systems was accepted in the amount of $12,750 to install security and theft detection equipment. Seven other proposals ranged from “no bid” to $40,000.

Regents also accepted a bid from Indeco, a Belton, Texas company, for new library furniture at a cost of $108,977.

Quotes for computers for the library were also considered, and regents awarded the bid to Dell in the amount of $49,994.10, which will be paid for by a grant from the Amarillo Area Foundation.

In other college business, the board accepted a bid for athletic insurance from Seymour Canter in the amount of $41,796, which is more than $8,600 lower than last year.

Regents discussed and endorsed the idea of creating a Hall of Fame for outstanding alumni and friends of the college. CC officials are still working on the details of how to set up this idea.

The board accepted resignations from Dean of Students Joel Zehr and from CC Pampa Center Advisor/Recruiter Jennifer Moore.

A letter was received from former CC board chairman Bright Newhouse commending the regents for naming the new library in honor of the late Vera Dial Dickey of Memphis.
