COMMITTEE REPORTS/BOARD COMMENTS Budget & Finance Committee Mr. Corby The Budget and Finance Committee of the Board of Education of the Toms River Regional Schools met on March 9, 2016 at 1144 Hooper Avenue, Toms River, New Jersey in Conference Room A at 6:30 P.M. Committee Chair, Russell Corby, read the following opening statement: 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 March 2, 2016 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- Rob Onofrietti, Gigi Esparza, Ben Giovine, Gloria McCormack, Joe Nardini, Chris Raimann and Jim Sigurdson, Superintendent- Dave Healy, Assistant Superintendents- Debra McKenna, Dr. Marc Natanagara and John Coleman, 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 on the Purchasing Agenda, which was e-mailed to all Board members 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 $6,569,770.84 for the 2015/16 school year. 3

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. The Committee then established a public meeting date of April 6, 2016 at 6:00 PM for the presentation and discussion of the Transportation Efficiency Study report. Finally, the committee was provided with the draft resolution and financial summary for the 2016-17 Tentative Budget, which is being recommended for approval on the March 16, 2016 Board agenda, as the due date for this to be submitted to the County Office is March 22, 2016. For the Tentative Budget, the expense side increase as proposed would be 2% for the general fund. The committee reviewed the nine (9) budget goals discussed at the November 11, 2015 Budget and Finance Committee meeting, to ensure they were considered in the development of the tentative budget. The Tentative Budget does not include any anticipated CDBG Essential Service grant funds, although the district has been notified that a 4 th round of the CDBG grant is expected to be forthcoming. This is encouraging, given the efforts of the school administration, Board and the governing bodies of the municipalities comprising the regional district, in working together to secure this very important grant. The committee discussed a preliminary Budget hearing date of May 4, 2016, but the hearing date may change if necessitated by a CDBG grant application and formal approval process. The committee then discussed the scheduling of the Citizens Budget Advisory Committee for this year. After discussion, it was determined that the meeting regarding the 2016-17 proposed budget will be scheduled for March 23, 2016 at 6:00 PM in the High School North Media Center and the meeting will be advertised accordingly. Building & Grounds Committee Mr. Giovine The Building and Grounds Committee of the Board of Education of the Toms River Regional Schools met on March 9, 2016 in Conference Room A at 1144 Hooper Avenue, Toms River, New Jersey at 7:35 P.M.

Notice of this meeting was published in the Asbury Park Press on March 2, 2016 which constituted at least 48 hours notice as required by law under the Open Public Meetings Act. 4

The project cost is $483,500, and FEMA will pick up 90% of the cost or $435,150, and the district would be responsible for the remaining cost of $48,350.

Regarding the 3 turf fields at elementary schools, repairs are being made and the fields will shortly be ready for use. Based on the rapid wearing down of the turf, samples from the field were sent for independent testing and the district is communicating with the Board Attorney regarding the district s recourse in this situation given that the fields are still under warranty. District-wide: RFP s for the full facilities condition assessment were received on March 4, 2016. The committee was provided with a summary of the submissions, including pricing. The administration is concluding the review of all submission 5
