The supervisor was also responsible for Career Technical Education (CTE) and Career Focused Education (CFE). These were housed in the high schools.

The CTE and CFE programs will move to the Curriculum Department which will oversee the applicable grants.

Mr. Romzek presented the recommendation to approve the property tax rates for the 2013/2014 budget year. The current operating levy of 18 mills will be levied on non-primary residence property in 2013/2014, with 50% in the summer and 50% in the winter, as in past years. This will generate $16.9 million of operating taxes for the General Fund. This tax levy covers the local portion of the $7,922 foundation allowance, which equates to $1,116 per student, and the $6,806 balance of the foundation allowance

Board of Education Regular and Organizational Meeting Minutes June 17, 2013 Page 4 comes from state aid. The administration recommended keeping the debt millage of 6.70 mills for the 2013/2014 year, which is the same as the 2012/2013 levy. This millage will generate $27.7 million in property taxes which will be used to pay the 2013/2014 principal and interest payments for the district’s outstanding debt. A motion was made to approve the 2013 Tax Rate Certification as presented. Moved by: Ms. Nowak Supported by: Mrs. Berwick Vote: 6-0 C. Chartwells Contract Renewal for 2013/2014 (Action Item) Mr. Romzek Mr. Romzek presented the recommendation for the extension of the district’s contract with Chartwells for the management and operation of the district’s food service program for 2013/2014. The district began contracting with Chartwells in 2010/2011. Michigan Department of Education (MDE) rules do not allow districts to enter into multi-year contracts for food service management. Instead, they allow districts to renew their existing one-year agreements up to four times, which requires districts to re-bid these services after that five year period. After the 2013/2014 year, the district would be able to extend the contract one more year before having to re-bid these services for the 2015/2016 year. The district has been very pleased with our partnership with Chartwells. Tracy Hizer, Director, and Kim Sinclair, Executive Chef, have become an integral part of the district’s administrative team and their program has been very successful in Rochester. The program has demonstrated increased student participation, improved operating efficiencies, improved menu offerings and quality of food being served, and provided significant additional financial support to the General Fund for indirect costs. Tracy and her supervisor Ann Smith are looking to submit Rochester for a Center for Excellence designation with Chartwells next year, which is a very highly regarded designation on a district’s program and only a few Chartwells accounts earn this outstanding designation. A motion was made to approve the Chartwells Contract Renewal for 2013/2014 as presented. Moved by: Mrs. Pierobon Supported by: Mr. Zabat Board discussion and questions included the USDA new food standards, participation number, and an update on the implementation of the ideas generated including new vegetarian options. Vote: 6-0 D. Adopt the 2013-2014 Budget Resolutions (Action Item) Mr. Romzek Mr. Romzek recommended the Board adopt the Budget Resolutions for the district’s General Fund, Athletics Fund, Bookstore Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Debt Services Fund, and School Lunch Fund. A motion was made to adopt the 2013-2014 Budget Resolutions as presented. Moved by: Ms. Nowak Supported by: Mrs. Berwick Mrs. Romzek read the 2013-2014 Budget Resolutions. Vote: 6-0

MEMORANDUM

August 6, 2013 TO: Dr. Robert Shaner FROM: Daniel Romzek, Assistant Superintendent for Business John Stoner, Director of Facility, Operations & Transportation RE: Recommendation for Approval of Resolution in Support of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Initiatives at Rochester Community Schools Several years ago, the district developed and implemented a comprehensive Storm Water Pollution Prevention Initiative (SWPPI) Plan, as required by state law. This plan contains policies and procedures for control and management of storm water runoff and along with long-term operation and maintenance of structural storm sewer systems located at the school district’s sites. The district recently went through an audit of its plan by representatives from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. During the course of this audit, RCS was alerted that the district is required to have a resolution approved by the Board of Education in support of efforts in preventing pollution related to storm water drainage. We have prepared the attached recommended resolution for this program. This resolution simply affirms the district’s statutory requirements for implementation of its plan and affirms that the district will continue enforcement and instruction efforts to help minimize storm water pollution on school sites. Based on this information, we recommend THAT the Board of Education approves the resolution in support of the district’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Initiatives, as presented.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.


Resolution in Support of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Initiatives

WHEREAS, Rochester Community Schools (RCS) owns and operates facilities within the boundaries of the “Detroit” urbanized area which discharges storm water though a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) to surface waters of the State of Michigan; and

WHEREAS, The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality – Water Bureau maintains

oversight and regulatory authority for compliance with the terms and conditions of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System discharge permit; and

WHEREAS, Rochester Community Schools has applied for and received permit coverage to

WHEREAS, Rochester Community Schools agrees to comply with the NPDES Municipal

Separate Storm Sewer System discharge permit requirements, and

WHEREAS, Rochester Community Schools has developed a Storm Water Pollution

Prevention Initiative (SWPPI) outlining the policies, procedures, and best management practices to be employed by the district to comply with the general watershed permit requirements, and

WHEREAS, the conditions of the NPDES Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System discharge

permit require Rochester Community Schools to develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure compliance with post-construction storm water discharges for new development and redevelopment projects containing an area of disturbance exceeding one acre, and

WHEREAS, Rochester Community Schools agrees to obtain a construction site permit from

the local municipality or other governing unit for new development and redevelopment projects that disturb an area exceeding one acre, and

WHEREAS, Rochester Community Schools agrees to inspect, operate, and maintain

structural controls for the purpose of reducing pollutant contribution, control runoff, and decrease or eliminate stream bank erosion due to storm water runoff.

THEREFORE, be it resolved that the Rochester Community Schools Board of Education is

highly committed to practicing sound environmental principals including the reduction of pollutants to surface waters though discharges of storm water. The Board hereby approves and instructs the district Superintendent to enforce the above listed policies and procedures for control of storm water runoff and long-term operation and maintenance of structural controls as part of the overall Rochester Community Schools’ Storm Water Management Program. Duly passed and approved by the Rochester Community Schools Board of Education, Oakland County, Michigan this 12th day of August, 2013. Approved: Attest:
