COMMITTEE REPORTS/BOARD COMMENTS Budget & Finance Committee Mr. Horgan The Budget and Finance Committee of the Board of Education of the Toms River Regional Schools met on June 13, 2018 at 1144 Hooper Avenue, Toms River, New Jersey in Conference Room A at 6:30 P.M. Acting Committee Chair, Russ Corby, read the following opening statement: 2

3 Good evening, welcome to the Budget and Finance Committee Meeting of the Board of Education of the Toms River Regional Schools. Notice of this meeting was published in the Asbury Park Press on June 4, 2018 which constituted at least 48 hours notice as required by law under the Open Public Meetings Act. In addition to the Committee Chair, in attendance were Board members- Janet Bell, Gigi Esparza, Dan Leonard, Joe Nardini, Chris Raimann, Ginny Rhine, Michele Williams, Superintendent- Dave Healy, Assistant Superintendents- Debra McKenna, Dr. Marc Natanagara and Gary Azzolini, Business Administrator- Bill Doering and Board Secretary- Wendy Saxton. The meeting was open to the public and an opportunity for public comment was provided. As we do every month, the committee reviewed the expenditures listed in the Purchasing Agenda, which was posted in the Board s Google Docs folder prior to the Budget and Finance Committee meeting. The Purchasing Agenda also included items of zero value, bids and resolutions. Questions were asked by various individual board members, which were answered by Mr. Doering and other members of the administration. The Purchasing Agenda for this month is in the amount of $5,005, for the school year. The Budget & Finance Committee is recommending the approval of the Purchasing Agenda by the full Board. The committee then reviewed the District lease, sponsorship and other rental agreements and these are also being recommended for board approval. Based on recent legislation known as Bill S2, the district could stand to lose significant State Aid dollars which would have a significant negative impact on the already-approved budget. We do not believe any district should see a cut in State Aid until the known material flaws in the community wealth calculation in the aid distribution formula are finally addressed. The district is co-hosting a meeting with Brick School district on June 19 whereby districts negatively impacted by Bill S2 have been invited to jointly develop an action plan. We have been communicating with legislators, NJSBA, and the NJ Department of Education, including Mr. Healy communicating directly with NJ Commissioner of Education, Lamont Repollet. 3

4 The committee was then advised that the professional appointments will be on the June 2018 regular Board meeting agenda. Finally, the committee was also advised that the free and reduced lunch applications will be done electronically for the year.

Committee Chair Joe Nardini read the following opening statement: Good evening and welcome to the Buildings and Grounds Committee Meeting of the Board of Education of Toms River Regional Schools. Notice of this meeting was published in the Asbury Park Press on June 4, 2018 which constituted at least 48 hours notice as required by law under the Open Public Meetings Act.

The meeting was open to the public and an opportunity for public comment was provided. Peter Tomko, Manager of Facilities, was introduced and co-presented on B&G issues with Mr. Wagner. Old Business discussion: 1. The Energy Savings Improvement Plan boiler projects at four schools (HSS, Washington, EDE, and WDE) approved by the Board went out bid, with bids being received this week. They are being reviewed for presentation to the Board. ESIP lighting projects will go out to bid in July. 2. Traffic warning light projects discussed over the past several months are nearing completion. Cedar Grove and W. Dover are complete. Foundations are in place and lights ready for installation at E. Dover, Silver Bay, and Washington Street. The North Dover solar lights have experienced various delays caused by the bidding, permit, and 4

5 markout processes, the grant partnership, weather delays, and coordination with police, gas company, and JCP&L. Similar concerns with partners should be resolved before going into potential referendum work. 3. The remediation report for the High School North fieldhouse has come back clean. Rough wiring and plumbing are completed. HVAC installation is in process. Documents are being submitted to the NJDOE for approval of the revised educational use. 4. The implementation of a changing room for children with disabilities at Silver Bay Elementary has received DOE approval and is ready for bidding. The High School South Career Academy Business and Real Estate Incubator renovation has been completed and final furniture and technology are being installed over the next two weeks. Progress on the High School East STEAM Academy Anatomy, Physiology, and Forensics ( Body ) Lab project demolition, ceiling, and electrical work are nearing completion, with lighting and flooring to follow, and furniture installation in July. Both projects were funded by a generous $255,000 grant from the Hirair and Anna Hovnanian Foundation, made possible by Toms River supporter Edele Hovnanian. New Business discussion: 1. Approximately forty summer projects are being reviewed and planned, including flooring, sidewalks, security, HVAC, and special projects. The master list will be shared with the Board in the Friday packet. 2. A field at Walnut Street was damaged by use and has been repaired and is now reopened. 3. Leaking chilled water pipes continue to be repaired at High School East. Facilities recommends retaining Maser Consulting to prepare documents for bid and to address further with the referendum. 4. Recent inspections of our first phase solar installations at seven sites indicate a need for maintenance for them to operate at maximum capacity, which will need to be coordinated with roof repairs. 5. An underground storage tank at the 123 Walnut Maintenance complex was tested and traces of chemicals were found, requiring remediation at a cost of approximately $73, Grounds and grass cutting were discussed.

But in reviewing the components of the primarily self-insured workers compensation program, Fairview has recommended a change in the medical services provider to RWJ Barnabas Health, which is expected to save the district $43,000 annually.
