    Recommended motion

    Approve three exemption forms for the Measure I Parcel Tax.

    Rationale
    Our district has contracted with SCI Consulting Group to manage the parcel tax exemption process and ensure that the county applies the appropriate tax on properties. As part of that process, SCI Consulting Group has developed the attached forms for property owners within the district to apply for exemptions. The forms would be due by June 30, 2019. The parcel tax will be applied to 2019-20 property tax bills. The three types of exemptions that were approved as part of Measure I are: Senior Citizen, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and Social Security Income (SSI). The SSDI and SSI exemptions and forms were also available under the district's previous parcel tax. However, they were seldom, if ever used. Once approved, these three forms will be available on the district website as well as in the district office. The forms will be updated annually. Individuals who were qualified for an exemption under our previous parcel tax will receive a letter from SCI Consulting Group in January that can be returned to continue the exemption for Measure I.

    Recommended motion

    Approve expenditure of up to $21,000 to purchase Retherm oven, refrigerator, freezer and security shelving from East Bay Restaurant Supply.

    Rationale
    Our Food Service Department is requesting authority to spend up to $21,000 for additional equipment at Lincoln High School. There is a need to improve the quality of food served at the site. To improve quality, a cooking apparatus, a refrigerator, a freezer and a security shelving unit are needed. The retherm oven would allow us to cook the food on site close to the time of service. This would significantly improve the quality of food served to students on the campus. The refrigeration would allow us to store more food, fruits and vegetables on site, increasing choice for students. The new equipment would also eliminate the need to transport items back and forth on a daily basis, allowing additional time for food prep and service. The locking shelving unit will allow us to store items needed for meal service on site. The reduction of moving inventory will also decrease the risk of injury to food service staff.

Dr. Collins addressed this question, stating that most styrofoam products are no longer used in our sites. He is working with the City to obtain guidelines about banning styrofoam usage in district owned sites run by City employees. - Trustee Prola: requested to place paper straws in the cafeterias - Dr. Collins also addressed this request and will research the cost of plastic versus paper straws. - Trustee Prola - following up on an earlier request for a truancy report. Educational Services will follow up with this request. - Trustee Gonzalez - following up on Trustee Aguilar's consensus item; if anyone has language pertaining to an advocacy or resolution request it's helpful to the committee to get that information prior to them having that discussion to simplify blending different versions to create our own resolution - Trustee Oshinski - commented on Trustee Prola's request for paper straws; he stated that currently there are not a lot of selections for paper straws. As more vendors make paper straws available the cost will be reduced - President Sheridan - pertaining to the current rotation for the board president, vice president and clerk - consider a model or have a discussion about at a board workshop to review options or determine if there are no other viable options and pass on it but at least address it again. Review all methods and determine what is best for our school district.
