The largest item was nearly $1.4 million in annual spending authority for a five-year agreement with Datamax of Texas for copiers, printing services and related equipment.
Managers also approved $1.2 million for student-device insurance and $728,100 for security patrols at campuses and administrative buildings.
All three items passed 8-0 as part of the consent agenda. Manager Jay Stegall was absent.
