WHEREAS, on September 2, 2009, two bids were received in response to the Initial RFP and both bids were rejected for failure to conform to the requirements of the RFP; and

WHEREAS, on October 19, 2009, a revised RFP was issued requesting proposals (“Second RFP”) for a vendor to enter into a power purchase agreement with the Board in which the successful bidder would provide power to the Board generated by solar photovoltaic systems to be owned and operated by the vendor and installed on the rooftops of the schools purchasing the power; and

WHEREAS, a pre-bidders conference was conducted on October 27, 2009, and bidders were further advised that bid submissions were due on or before November 18, 2009; and

WHEREAS, no bid submissions were made in response to the Second RFP; and

WHEREAS, in accordance with N.J.S.A. 18A:18A-5c, which exempts from further bidding contracts that have been bid on two occasions and no awards were received, the Board representatives requested further proposals from the two vendors that submitted bids in response to the Initial RFP;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Woodbridge Township Board of Education pursuant to the aforesaid statutes as follows:

In accordance with N.J.S.A. 18A:18A-5c, the Board has determined that, after the failure to receive responsive bids on two occasions, it will enter into a contract with a power purchase provider based on negotiations;

The Board has determined that, as permitted by law, it shall enter into a PPA for a term of fifteen years.

The Board has determined that the CORE rebates issued to Board shall be assigned to the PPA provider.

The Board has analyzed proposals from power purchase vendors and has determined to issue a power purchase agreement to BSC Solar, LLC based on BSC’s Solar’s agreement to sell power to the Board at a rate of $ 0.0725 per kWh with an annual escalation rate of 2%.

The aggregate size of the five Solar PV systems is approximately 822 kW (kilowatts);

The Board currently pays between $0.1058 per kWh and $0.1237 per kWh for electricity usage. Assuming that the current electricity rates that the Board pays increase at a rate of 2% annually, the Board estimates that it will reduce its energy payments by approximately $704,000.00 during the term of the PPA.

BSC Solar will repay to the Board the rebate monies made available through annual payments to the Board in an amount that is the greater of: (1) a fixed principal payments of $41,667 annually for fifteen (15) years plus interest at the rate of five (5%) percent per annum on the outstanding principal balance, or (2) an amount equal to 20% of the revenue that BSC Solar receives from its annual sale of Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) produced by the Solar PV systems located on the above-referenced schools.

Further, at the end of the fifteen year term of the PPA, BSC will transfer ownership of the Solar PV systems to the Board at no cost to the Board.

The additional terms of the PPA are not substantially different from the terms, conditions, and specifications set forth in the Initial RFP and Second RFP.

The Board President is hereby authorized to enter into a PPA, to be witnessed by the Board Administrator, with BSC Solar based substantially on the terms of the attached form of agreement. Said agreement shall be subject to the Board attorneys’ further review and approval and is of no legal force and effect until executed by the Board President.

2. That the Board of Education approve the previously submitted Shared Services Agreement between the Woodbridge Township Board of Education and the Township of Woodbridge for custodial maintenance of Board facilities, for the period July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011.

Mr. Yuhasz moved for the adoption of the Buildings and Grounds recommendations, seconded by Mr. Tamburello. During Board discussion, Mr. Yuhasz asked how much time is allotted for the Township to notify the district should they choose not to move forward with the Shared Services Agreement. Mr. DeMarino advised notification must be given 90 days in advance. Mr. Yuhasz verified that 90 days would be enough time to negotiate an RFP. Mr. DeMarino stated it would be enough time.

Mr. Tamburello asked Mr. DeMarino to elaborate on the PPA in Item #1. Mr. DeMarino explained the Board put out an RFP for a Power Purchase Agreement since the district was entitled to a rebate of $625,000 from the Clean Energy Rebate Program with the State of New Jersey. Mr. DeMarino further explained there will be no tax dollars involved. He stated solar energy systems will be placed on five schools. Mr. DeMarino thanked the Board for voting on this item, noting the district needs to move in this direction. He stated the kiosks will be placed in the main lobby which the students will be able to monitor as well. Mr. DeMarino commended the Board Attorney’s office for their assistance on the Power Purchase Agreement.

Mr. Yuhasz thanked Mr. DeMarino on his diligent efforts, once again reminding the public there is no cost to the taxpayers.

Ms. Leidner asked if there will be architectural fees that the district will have to bear. Mr. DeMarino stated all fees will be on the vendor. Ms. Leidner verified that the life span of a solar panel is 25 years to which Mr. DeMarino answered affirmatively.

Regarding Item #2, Ms. Leidner asked if the Township will be ready on July 1. Mr. DeMarino acknowledged the Township will be a bit behind but they should have enough supplies to get started. He stated the Township is in the process of firming up personnel, advising that many district employees have moved over to the Township. Ms. Leidner asked if all the district’s buildings are included in the Shared Services Agreement. Dr. Crowe responded that the agreement includes all the district’s facilities.

Ms. Leidner commented on the provision of an early retirement incentive in the Agreement. She asked what the umbrella coverage is since in her copy of the agreement it is not listed. Mr. DeMarino stated the umbrella coverage is $5,000,000 per occurrence.

Ms. Leidner asked if the dispute resolution encompasses the entire agreement. Mr. DeMarino asked the Board Attorney to respond. Mr. Silvestro stated the dispute resolution pertains to the agreement as a whole. He further stated if the Board disagrees with the township’s position as to the work being done, then the dispute resolution would kick in. Mr. Silvestro stated if the township fails to address a concern from the Board, the dispute resolution would be enacted. Ms. Leidner clarified that this dispute resolution will not conflict with any contract or union representation that the employees might have. Mr. Silvestro stated the dispute resolution would be between the Board and the township, not the Board and an employee.

Ms. Leidner clarified insurance coverage. Mr. Silvestro responded.

Ms. Leidner stated she hopes the Mayor will reconsider his position on hiring district employees living outside the township.

Mr. Golden congratulated and thanked Mr. DeMarino on the Power Purchase Agreement. He stated he is hopeful that all schools will eventually have solar panels installed.

Ms. Leidner stated the choices the district had for custodial services was an outside company or the township. She stated by going with the township, employees would remain in the same pension. Ms. Leidner stated it was the hopes of the Board that the supervising custodians would remain as district employees.

Mr. Molnar asked if the $625,000 promised in rebate money for the solar projects is in writing, commenting on the state budget cuts. Mr. DeMarino assured Mr. Molnar that he has a commitment letter

304

June 29, 2010

and the funds are guaranteed to the district. Mr. Molnar thanked Mr. DeMarino and the Administration for moving forward with this project.

Mr. Miloscia asked about energy conservation at the other 19 schools. Mr. DeMarino stated the roofs of the remaining 19 schools are in horrible shape. Mr. DeMarino stated the district, through the bond referendum, replaced all the windows at all schools. Mr. Miloscia asked what is being done to conserve on the gas and electric bills. Dr. Crowe stated the PPA will still benefit the district even if the efficiency issues can not at this time be addressed.

Mr. Molnar suggested that through the Policy and Planning Committee, a plan be devised to conserve energy at all schools. He suggested looking into light sensors. Mr. Miloscia asked the cost of light sensors. Mr. D’Orsi replied the cost is between $9.00 and $28.00.

During public discussion, D. Pinkowitz, Iselin, stated at the last meeting the Mayor justified the $500,000 difference between the Mayor’s proposal and the Aramark proposal. He asked if the Mayor’s statement was accurate based on the preliminary information of employees who are applying for positions with the township. Dr. Crowe stated it is doubtful that we will have a definitive answer since we do not know whether our employees would have taken a job with Aramark, however, we assume that more employees will take the job with the township to stay in the pension system. Mr. Pinkowitz made additional comments regarding Aramark. Mr. DeMarino stated the rule of thumb is approximately a 50% acceptance rate in the private sector because the rate of pay is so much lower. Mr. Pinkowitz stated next year the district would not need the half million dollars in unemployment benefits. Dr. Crowe stated the agreement with the township is for a one year period only, noting the Board would need to decide if a renewal of the agreement would be prudent for the 2011-12 budget. Mr. Pinkowitz asked if the rumor he heard regarding a large number of custodian absences on graduation day, forcing teachers and other staff members to set up graduation, was true. Dr. Crowe stated there were an unusual amount of absences of custodial staff on graduation day.

Mr. Golden stated parents approached him asking if the Board can keep the custodians, expressing concerns over who Aramark would bring into the district. Mr. Golden stated, in his opinion, this is the best deal the employees could have received as well as the best deal for the district.

Mr. Molnar commented on the commitment that the custodians have to the district’s schools.

Mr. Tamburello stated the Mayor made it clear that he will not blindly hire everyone who applies, but will base hiring on professionalism and performance.

T, Maras, Fords, asked where the additional personnel needed will come from. Dr. Crowe stated the ad stated all people will come from Woodbridge. Mr. Maras asked the cost of the agreement. He then compared the custodial services agreement with the Chartwells agreement. Dr. Crowe stated the custodial services are paid for by the district, whereas the cafeteria is an enterprise account and must be self-sufficient. Mr. Maras asked again the cost of the Shared Services Agreement. Mr. DeMarino stated the cost is 4.7 million dollars which includes $100,000 for snow plowing. Mr. Maras stated the cost of the agreement is $500,000 over the Aramark bid. Mr. Maras questioned the Board owned equipment and who now owns the equipment. Mr. DeMarino stated all insurance is transferred to the township. He further explained that any custodial supplies and vehicles becomes the cost of the township. Mr. Maras asked if there is any compensation to the Board for equipment. Mr. DeMarino stated there are laws governing the transfer and disposal of equipment. Mr. Maras asked who will be supervising the custodians. Dr. Crowe stated everything is turned over to the town and it becomes their decision. Mr. Maras asked if the school will screen all new employees. Dr. Crowe stated the town is required to follow 6A and 18A.

Dr. Crowe commented that when the test scores were presented earlier in the meeting, there were no comments made, yet there has been extensive discussion on the Buildings and Grounds issues. He stated the test scores demonstrate a school district that despite all the financial difficulties, continues to excel.

J. Vataric, Woodbridge, commented on the Shared Service Agreement. He asked if the school district took over the custodian staff in the future would the district be required to take back the employees. Dr. Crowe stated the district would be required to call back the custodians based on seniority. Mr. Vataric

305

June 29, 2010

made additional comments regarding the custodians. Dr. Crowe reminded Mr. Vataric that equally disturbing is the number of teachers who are losing their jobs.

Mr. Golden asked the savings between the operating budget for the custodians and the proposal submitted by the Mayor. Dr. Crowe stated current year’s operating budget was 6.8 million dollars which did not include snow plowing, compared to the Mayor’s proposal of 4.6 million dollars. Mr. Golden verified that the savings is approximately 2.1 million dollars. He stated the $500,000 difference with the Mayor picking up the custodians with a pension system and medical benefits as opposed to the custodians going to a private contractor with no pension and no benefits is clearly a better plan.

Ms. Leidner stated she does not disagree with Mr. Golden, but is hopeful the Mayor reconsiders hiring people who have been employed in the district for several years whether they live in town or out of town.

There were no further comments from the Board or public. With all Board members voting in favor, with the exception of Ms. Leidner, Mr. Miloscia and Mr. Molnar who abstained on Item #1, the foregoing was adopted. Prior to voting, Ms. Leidner asked if anyone in any of the Boards’ family could be employed by this agreement, would it be necessary to abstain. Mr. Silvestro stated unless there is a definite offer or some kind of interest that the public could take into consideration that would give the…Dr. Crowe stated at the last meeting, Counsel had directed the Board and Administration that if someone was currently in the bargaining unit with the district, and therefore by that fact could be offered a position, then that Board member should not vote. Mr. Silvestro stated he was not at that meeting but if that condition does exist the Board member should abstain on that item.

Mr. Golden moved for the adoption of the Transportation recommendations, seconded by Mr. Yuhasz. There were no comments or questions from the Board or public. With all Board members voting in favor, the foregoing was adopted.

The Cafeteria Committee, on the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools and the Business Administrator/Board Secretary, presented the following:

1. That the Board of Education approve the final agreement for Food Service Management effective July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011 to Chartwells School Dining, 804 Broadway, West Long Branch, NJ 07764.

Mr. Golden moved for the adoption of the Cafeteria recommendation, seconded by Ms. Acquisto. There were no comments or questions from the Board. During public discussion, T. Maras, Fords, commented on a revision to the proposal which saves six cafeteria employees and how that determination was made. Mr. DeMarino stated the six employees have 22 plus years in the pension. Mr. DeMarino stated there will still be a guaranteed return to the district of $58,000.00. Mr. DeMarino stated with the concessions the in-house food service employees were willing to make, it was likely that there still would have been a deficit. Mr. DeMarino explained that the food service employees proposal called for furloughs and raising lunch prices, working less hours which does not increase revenue. Dr. Crowe stated the cafeteria has run in a deficit for the past 10 years. Mr. Maras asked what the anticipated deficit is. Dr. Crowe stated the deficit must be based on what is known at this point in time. Mr. Maras again compared the food service

June 29, 2010

workers to the custodial services. Mr. Maras questioned COBRA coverage for the cafeteria workers. Dr. Crowe stated Chartwells has put forth $30,000.00 to defer the cost of COBRA. Mr. DeMarino stated all cafeteria workers, regardless of where they live, will be offered employment with Chartwells. He further explained the cafeteria workers are being offered 81% of their salary.

D. Pinkowitz, Iselin, stated he feels the services provided by Chartwells seems to be far better food wise.

There were no further comments from the Board or public. Ms. Acquisto and Mr. Golden voted affirmatively. Prior to Ms. Leidner’s vote, she asked what scenario the Board is voting on since they had received two different proposals. Dr. Crowe explained, the two scenarios will be decided upon in the Closed Session portion of the meeting. Ms. Leidner stated she does not understand what the Board is voting on, explaining again that the Board has two different contracts in hand. Mr. DeMarino explained the Committee’s proposal was to help three cafeteria employees with 24 years of service. He stated the Board will discuss the alternative of keeping employees in the district with 22 plus years of service. Ms. Leidner voted yes, however stated the Board would prefer to keep both the cafeteria and custodians in the district. She stated the cafeteria workers presented a proposal which she felt was sufficient. Mr. Miloscia and Mr. Tamburello voted yes. Prior to Mr. Tamburello’s vote, he stated he agrees with Ms. Leidner’s rationale. He further stated he feels this is the way to move forward. Mr. Triebwasser, Mr. Yuhasz and Mr. Small voted no. Mr. DeMarino stated the motion was adopted. Ms. Acquisto asked if a yes vote was approving the initial contract and can not be amended following the discussion in Closed Session. Dr. Crowe clarified that the Board is voting on bringing back staff with 24 plus years of service and if that were changed in Closed Session, this item would be revisited with the understanding that it accurately reflected what transpired in Closed Session. Mr. Silvestro explained the Board is voting on the Cafeteria Committee’s recommendation. He stated if after discussion in Closed Session, the recommendation changes, an additional agenda item would have to be presented for Board approval. Ms. Acquisto and Mr. Golden amended their votes to no, therefore the item did not move.

Ms. Leidner stated as a Board member she fought very hard to keep the cafeteria in-house. She further stated this sitting Board voted to privatize cafeteria services with a return of $150,000. She stated she does not understand the rationale of the Board as to why they went with Chartwells, knowing this would happen.

Mr. Molnar stated from his point of view, he wasn’t looking at the $150,000 return since that money can only be used in the cafeterias. He stated he was looking further down the road where money will not have to be taken from the general fund to finance the deficit.

Ms. Leidner stated the cafeteria employees presented a proposal to this Board that would have eliminated the deficit.

Mr. Molnar stated the district would have never been able to give the cafeterias the capital to do what Chartwells will do to the cafeteria setting.

Mr. Miloscia stated he feels the cafeterias would have eventually made a profit, since they started off with a small amount of profit this year. He stated this is the first time he has seen a Plan A and Plan B in one item which will be decided upon in a another Committee. He noted he takes exception to the presentation of this item. Mr. Miloscia stated both proposals, 25 pages each, were forwarded to the Board at 4:00 p.m. today for review.

Board Attorney, Douglas Silvestro, had nothing to bring before the Board for open session.

There was no "Old Business" to bring before the Board.

There was no “New Business" to bring before the Board.

The Board President opened the meeting to the public. During this portion, K. Cozzola, Colonia, suggested the committee system move to a full Board committee. She commented that 90% of the talk at tonight’s meeting had to do with non-certified matters. She reminded the Board and Administration that the discussion needs to be about school and curriculum.

Mr. Small stated the Board is in the process of reviewing Board committees as a whole.

313

June 29, 2010

Ms. Cozzola commented on the out dated curriculum. She stated very little discussion occurs at meetings regarding curriculum.

L. McGeehan, Colonia, asked where the additional savings from the custodians will be going. Dr. Crowe stated 3rd grade class size has been reduced. He further stated that he will make recommendations regarding curriculum at the July meeting. Dr. Crowe also stated he feels some money must go into surplus.

Ms. Leidner stated the Board President requested that each Board member submit a list of items to be brought back into the budget in priority order. Ms. Leidner stated her 1st recommendation was class size reduction followed by curriculum revision and return of curriculum.

Mr. Molnar asked Dr. Crowe to explain to the public the importance of surplus. Dr. Crowe stated there are many unforeseen circumstances that hit a district. He stated our current surplus in inadequately low. Dr. Crowe stated a district never knows when a special needs child will require significant services that can impact on our budget. He also stated the district never knows when a problem will occur with an infrastructure that is not covered by insurance. Dr. Crowe stated without having surplus in the budget the district is already behind going into the next year’s budget. He stated the danger is simply, if the district is hit with something unforeseen, we do not have the funds to handle the situation. Mr. Molnar stated an unforeseen problem can be either needing a new roof or boiler in one of our schools or having a special needs child who has an IEP which requires him to attend an out of district school. He stated either way, the district must be able to come up with the funds for all circumstances that arise throughout the school year.

J. Vataric, Woodbridge, asked which personnel will be cut from the district next year. Mr. Vataric stated solar energy has been placed in Hunterdon County. He stated the panels are not put on roof tops. He suggested the solar panels be placed on vacant property near the schools, avoiding roof top installation. Mr. Vataric questioned the amount of savings. Mr. DeMarino responded. Mr. Vataric questioned the energy rebate. Mr. DeMarino stated that is the job of the vendor to chase the rebate money from Clean Energy. Mr. Vataric made additional comments on the conditions of the roofs.

T. Maras, Woodbridge, asked if there is a higher than normal retirement rate this year. Ms. Korodan stated she can’t determine why more teachers have decided to retire this year as compared to last year. Mr. Maras asked how many retirements there are for this year. Ms. Korodan stated normally there are 60-70 retirements yearly. She further stated the numbers this year are way beyond 100. Ms. Korodan explained breakage on certificated retirements.

T. Cuntala, Avenel, asked if the cafeteria personnel and custodial personnel were given the opportunity to become self employed within the school district. Mr. DeMarino stated no one brought that concept to his office. He stated there would be an insurance concern since both groups would need liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance. Mr. Cuntala stated this is possible and would result in a savings to the district.

Board Attorney, Douglas Silvestro, stated it is his understanding that the Board intends to address several issues in Closed Session and upon return a revised agenda regarding the Food Service Management Agreement will be discussed and voted upon by the Board at that time.

Ms. Leidner read a version of the “Night Before Christmas”, which she revised, to acknowledge the retirement of Ms. Korodan and resignation of Ms. Miller.

Ms. Acquisto then presented to the Board for its consideration, a resolution for a Closed Session to discuss subjects exempted from the public portion of the meeting. The discussion to be held in Closed Session will be about personnel matters which include: Resignations; extensions of sympathy; retirements; leaves of absence; transfers of certified and non-certified staff; appointments and reappointments of certified and non-certified staff ; appointments of substitute principals, teachers, non-certified temporary employees ; appointments and changes of staff members for committees, staff leaders, child study team summer assignments, after-school and professional development activities, home instructors, and coaches; appointments of certified and non-certified staff members for the extended year program and after-care assignments. There will also be discussion of additional staff reappointments. Any information regarding the Closed Session discussion will be released to the public when the reasons for discussing these matters in Closed Session no longer exist. On motion by Ms.

Acquisto, seconded by Ms. Leidner and carried, the Board retired into Closed Session at approximately 8:45 p.m.

The Board returned from Closed Session at approximately 9:30 p.m. and a roll call found all members present as were previously recorded. The Cafeteria Committee, on the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools and the Business Administrator/Board Secretary, presented the following:

Mr. Golden moved for the adoption of the Cafeteria recommendation, seconded by Ms. Acquisto. There were no comments or questions from the Board or public.
