Letter to the Board
July 8, 2005
"True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right.
" Brigham Young
Greetings from Wayne Central. Below are a few items of interest.
Board Agenda Items:
1. Reorganizational Meeting – The Board meeting will begin with the swearing in of our three newly elected Board of Education Members. Then the Board will elect their Board President and Board Vice President. There will be a request for several liaisons and alternates to fill four county and BOCES positions. The rest of the agenda remains the same with the usual annual appointments with the following changes:
We will not be appointing Dr. Koretz as a second District Physician this year. When the state mandated certain staff members receive hepatitis B immunizations, his services worked well for us. As most of our staff have been immunized now, we find it is no longer a service that is warranted. Doctor Devore will absorb his duties as part of her own.
Lee Stramonine has been appointed as the HS Extra Classroom Treasurer in the interim of Linda Elmer’s retirement.
Larry Spring has been appointed as the HS Extra Classroom Officer in the interim of Lory Morrin’s replacement
Bob Miller has been appointed to the positions previously filled by Don Davis
Michelle Scheik has been appointed to the positions previous filled by Sandy Woodard
The mileage reimbursement rate has been increased to 40.5 cents per mile, which is a national rate used by the district auditors.
Larry Spring has been appointed as the HS petty cash officer
The custodial building use rate has decreased by .48 cents/hour due to a change in personnel.
The food service building use rate has increased by .09 center/hour
2. Annual Goals- We will publicly announce the annual goals that were developed last night. I congratulate you on your efforts as we continue to seek excellence for our students.
3. Model Schools Conference Report- This year John Triou and Jeff Schultz attended the Model Schools Conference. This will be a time for them to report on the conference and their thoughts about where our high school is/should be heading.
4. Capital Project Report- With school opening less then seven weeks from this Board meeting, we will give an update on our progress. Additional asbestos has been found in a couple of new areas, including the high school office, and is being abated.
5. Finance Report- Mr. Atseff will give his financial report in preparation for moving money into capital reserve accounts. The closing of the books is not yet complete so we will not be recommending the exact placement of the funds until next month.
6. Board Action – The 2005-06 Board of Education Meeting Schedule is attached for your review and approval. We worked around the recess weeks and tried to come up with best schedule possible both for your busy lives and the needs of the district. Please let me know if you have any changes or suggestions before we make it official. The board minutes and May Treasurer’s Report are submitted for your approval. The personnel action is also submitted for your approval. There are bids for bus tires and TV production equipment. We are recommending we not award the second part of the TV production bid which is editing equipment/software (see memo). It would put us over bid and after conversations with the instructor we do not believe we will be in a position to teach the students this aspect until next year. Attached also is what should be the last health contract from Brighton School District. There are three change orders included for your approval. (#002) the track scoreboard support foundation – CPA left this off their drawings (#003) the removal and salvage of the mezzanine stairs and the installation of new stairs and doors- the stairs will be much better for student supervision and (#004) the revision of science lab table aprons from 6” to 4” (tall students couldn’t fit their legs under the 6 inch ones). I recommend approval of these actions as submitted.
7. Public Information Specialist Position - The interview team has submitted the names of two finalists to me for the position. I will be interviewing them next week and bringing you a name at the August meeting. There were a number of strong candidates for the grant writing position. I am still waiting for Mr. Callahan to finalize the names of the top two candidates.

$75.00 termination fee imposed by UBS would be reimbursed and there would be a savings in

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:
1. CANANDAIGUA ROAD SEWER AVAILABILITY INQUIRY:
Dan Teske, real estate broker, inquired as to when sewers would be available on Canandaigua Road, south of Walworth-Penfield Road. He complained that the property had been rezoned as a PUD. Supervisor Guelli stated that the Town is currently negotiating with the Wayne County Industrial Development Agency for funding to extend the sewer line from Gananda Parkway to the north side of the creek at the same time the Canandaigua Road bridge is replaced. Councilman Maciuska stated that the cost to extend the sewer is over $100,000. He emphasized that the residents in the sewer district cannot be expected to finance the project. Supervisor Guelli stated that although grants are not accessible as the town’s median income is too high, money may be available if there were commitments from developers. Councilman Maciuska commented that the developer usually pays for the sewer line. Mr. Teske stated that if the sewer line was extended to the north of the bridge, the property could be marketed. Paul Russell advised that he is preparing a trunk sewer plan, which should be completed by the end of July. Supervisor Guelli noted that a PUD is the best possible zoning as anything is permitted.
Ken Nortier asked when the bridge replacement was scheduled. Supervisor Guelli stated
that it will be done this fall.
