COMMITTEE REPORTS/BOARD COMMENTS Building & Grounds Committee Mr. Giovine The Building and Grounds Committee of the Board of Education of the Toms River Regional Schools met on August 12, 2014 in Conference Room A at 1144 Hooper Avenue, Toms River, New Jersey at 7:00 P.M. Committee Chair, Ben Giovine, read the following opening statement: Good evening, welcome to the Building and Grounds 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 August 1, 2014 which constituted at least 48 hours notice as required by law under the Open Public Meetings Act. In attendance were Committee Chair, Ben Giovine, Board members- Joe Torrone, Ginny Rhine, Loreen Torrone, Gigi Esparza, Walt Ramsay, Gloria McCormack, Alex 2
Pavliv and James Sigurdson, Superintendent- David Healy, Assistant Superintendents- Jim Hauenstein, Debra McKenna and Marc Natanagara, Business Administrator- Bill Doering and Educational Facilities Manager- Mark Wagner. The meeting was open to the public and an opportunity for public comment was provided. The committee discussed the projects and ongoing work in and around our buildings, including the following: High School North- regarding the American Littoral Society project, the rain garden portion is expected to be completed this fall. The remaining portions of the project at High School North and 1144 Hooper Avenue are expected to be completed next summer. High School North- for the project at the football field being funded and managed by Architecture for Humanity, the work is progressing and is expected to be completed in September as planned. Local Government Energy Audit ( LGEA ) program- we have received the energy audit reports for the first 4 schools (all 3 high schools plus Intermediate East) from Clough Harbor Associates and the reports are under review. The energy audits for the next five schools (Cedar Grove, Silver Bay, Walnut Street, Hooper Avenue and Intermediate North), to be performed by Concord Engineering, will be commencing shortly. It was noted that the cost of these audits is fully funded by the BPU. JBAC- the district received bids to replace the revolving doors with new units that have a door-speed governor. The low bid came in at $55k. Given this pricing, and given that the current revolving doors are working properly, and given some mitigating considerations, the bids will be rejected. To help ensure that the doors are utilized properly with safe passage of students and patrons, the district will secure the cost-out to install a video camera to oversee the door area. Additionally, the district will consult with the school administration and security staff regarding supervision protocols for these areas to ensure that the doors are being utilized properly and safely. High School South- regarding the home-side bleachers, the committee was informed that a special meeting will be scheduled in the next few weeks for Maser Consulting to present the plans, options and cost estimates. This public meeting will be scheduled with the Board and the public will be informed of the meeting time and location. 3
Intermediate North- the chiller replacement project is progressing well and the actual chiller units are currently being installed. It is still expected that the work will be done prior to the opening of school in September 2014. High School North- the Band Parent Association is donating a shed, which they will also be installing, by the football field. The location, specifications and the plan has been reviewed and approved by the Facilities Department and the school principal. Boiler replacement schedule- the committee was provided with a priority list and replacement schedule for district boilers, which detailed the age and condition of the units. Next on the priority list is Hooper Avenue Elementary. The district will request a proposal from Maser Consulting for the project and will begin developing plans and specifications. High School South- Given the surface cracks and condition of the tennis courts, the courts have been resurfaced, which is expected to extend the useful life significantly. High School East- the committee discussed the gym light replacement project for the main gym, the auxiliary gym and the walkway in between. The replacement of these lights has been on the capital projects list for several years, and given the available rebates, coupled with the work being done in-house, the net cost of the project after rebates is only expected to be approximately $5,700. AED s- the committee was informed that 40 additional AED s (defibrillators) are currently being installed in the district. Right to Know Surveys- the district has received the State-required Right to Know surveys from PARS Environmental, and the Facilities Department is currently reviewing the submitted information. The district received two notices: the first being a Planning Board application for application to construct 17 new homes at the corner of Colonial Drive and Old Freehold Road- across from High School North and the second being a Freshwater Wetlands Application Checklist for determination of wetlands on property on Pantzer Street- across of High School East for a potential 4 or 5 lot sub-division. High School South- the committee was informed that the school new marque (on Hooper Avenue) has been ordered and we are awaiting delivery, subsequent to resolution of the insurance claim with the automobile driver responsible for the damage. 4
Budget & Finance Committee Mr. Sigurdson The Budget and Finance Committee of the Board of Education of the Toms River Regional Schools met on August 12, 2014 at 1144 Hooper Avenue, Toms River, New Jersey in Conference Room A at 6:30 P.M. Board President, Joe Torrone, 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 August 1, 2014 which constituted at least 48 hours notice as required by law under the Open Public Meetings Act. In attendance were Board members- Joe Torrone, Ginny Rhine, Ben Giovine, Loreen Torrone, Gigi Esparza, Walt Ramsay, Gloria McCormack and Alex Pavliv, Superintendent- David Healy, Assistant Superintendents- Jim Hauenstein, Debra McKenna and Marc Natanagara, 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 $2,002,312.26 for the 2013/14 school year and $21,006,550.84 for the 2014/15 school year. The Budget & Finance Committee is recommending the approval of the Purchasing Agenda by the full Board. The Committee then reviewed the Facility Lease Agreements, which are also being recommended for board approval. The committee was then provided with food service meal prices proposed for 2014-15. Given the Federal meal price equity requirements and the minimum average meal price required of $2.65, the district will be raising meal prices by.10 cents, except for high school lunch, which will be increased by.25 cents. Ala Carte prices will also see a slight increase. The new meal prices will conform to the meal price equity requirements, and yet lunch prices are still 55%-60% lower than the maximum price allowed by the NJ Department of Agriculture. 5
Finally, the Board was informed that the formal grant agreement for the $9,000,000 CDBG Grant, utilized in funding the 2014-15 budget, will be on the August agenda for Board approval. Insurance Committee Mr. Pavliv The Insurance Committee of the Board of Education of the Toms River Regional Schools met on August 12, 2014 at 1144 Hooper Avenue, Toms River, New Jersey in Conference Room A at 6:00 P.M. This meeting is not publicly advertised as the committee reviews workers compensation and liability billing information which includes names and case information for individuals, including staff members. In attendance were Board members Alex Pavliv, Gloria McCormack and Joe Torrone as well as Superintendent- David Healy and Business Administrator- William Doering. The Insurance Committee reviewed the Inservco bill for July 2014 totaling $203,330.20 with regards to the detail of claim payments for the workers compensation and liability programs. It was noted that claim costs were higher in July 2014 due to the payment of claim costs from two previously Board approved settlements. Questions were asked by committee members regarding payments, which were answered by administration at the meeting. The committee is recommending payment of this bill. Dominick Cinelli, the district property/casualty broker with Brown and Brown, arrived at the end of the meeting due to traffic delays. He provided a copy of the monthly insurance report for the workers compensation and liability accounts. The report includes re-opened claims, new claims for the month, closed claims, indemnity payments, a repeater report and major reserve changes. The report also includes the location of the accident for each claim, as well as the employee department.
