The following members were present: Jack White, Scott Robinson, A. R. Sims, Jerry R. Hicks, John Russell and Carey Walker. Susan Spence was the only member absent. The Pledge to the Flag was led by Board member Scott Robinson. Board President Jack White led everyone in the Lord’s Prayer. On motion by Jerry Hicks, seconded by A. R. Sims, the Board unanimously approved the Minutes of September 9, 2008 as written. On motion by A. R. Sims, seconded by Carey Walker, the Board unanimously approved the revised Agenda as submitted. Mr. Sims moved, seconded by Jerry Hicks, that the Board approve the amended Personnel Agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Following an explanation of his Disposal Policy, Purchasing Agent Bobby Jones informed the Board that periodically he has assets of the Ouachita Parish School Board to sell that are deemed to be surplus equipment and normally have only scrap value. Based on State Law, the Board is required to sell these items for “fair market price” through the bid process. Therefore, creating a problem for disposal of these “scrap items”. Subsequently, Mr. Jones asked for the Board’s consideration in adopting his Disposal Policy for the proper removal of unsold surplus equipment within the scope of the law, wherein the Board grants authority to an authorized designee to remove by way of waste receptacles, sell to local scrap yards at market value or have items picked up by an authorized recycler, thus, bypassing the bid law. All proceeds generated from the sale shall be returned to the School Board’s Central Office for proper distribution. Whereby, Carey Walker moved, seconded by A. R. Sims, that the Board accept the recommendation of Mr. Jones and adopt the “Disposal Policy” as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Business Manager Richie Garrett referenced the one-time $1,000 State support supplement distribution proposal adopted by the Board in their meeting of July 23, 2008. According to Mr. Garrett, the School Board authorized a $1,000 one-time supplement paid by the State to all full-time 9 month support employees designating that $500 be paid to part-time or 4-hour workers. According to Mr. Garrett, these resolutions adopted in the July 23, 2008 meeting were performed as the State instructed. However, he would like permission to amend these resolutions for clarification purposes as follows: Change the date one must be employed to receive the supplement from October 3 to September 26. Change the distribution date of the supplement from October 17 to October 1. In addition, Mr. Garrett, supported by the Superintendent, proposed that the minimum supplement for employees who work less than full-time will be $750. Whereby, Jerry Hicks moved, seconded by John Russell, that the Board accept the recommendation of Business Manager Richie Garrett and adopt the following Resolutions pertaining to the changes in the one-time State $1000 support supplement payment as follows: Resolution No. 1 Change the date one must be employed to receive the supplement payment from October 3 to on or before September 26, 2008; and change the distribution date of the supplement payment from October 17 to October 1, 2008 as presented. Resolution No. 2 Support employees working more than 9 months will receive a pro-rated amount for the additional months worked. Employees working less than full-time will receive a pro-rated amount based on the number of hours worked. The minimum supplement for employees who work less than full-time will be $750. Motion carried unanimously. On the recommendation of Business Manager Richie Garrett, Scott Robinson moved, seconded by John Russell, that the Board amend the Minutes of July 23, 2008 to reflect the language proposed by Mr. Garrett regarding the MFP raise for all employees, clarifying some of the wording in paragraph 2 of page 2 as follows: (*)“Further moving that all 9 month support employees, including part-time, are to receive $425 per year and support employees working more than 9 months will receive a pro-rated share of the increase based on the number of months worked. Certified employees’ MFP raise will be determined by multiplying $425 times the number of certified employees to get a total dollar allotment to distribute to the certified employees. The raise will then be distributed to the certified employees based on the education and experience factors (“Denny Factor”). Certified employees working more than 9 months will receive a pro-rated share of the increase based on the number of months worked. Supervisors’ and principals’ raises will be based on the number of months worked and the certified factors and the principal and supervisor factors.” Motion carried unanimously. Special Projects/Safety Coordinator Kenneth Slusher reported that all the construction projects on the west side are on schedule or completed, except at Riser Middle School that has a delay in getting cabinets delivered to the Library. The Home Economic Dept. remains incomplete but is progressing and the Fire Marshall is ready to inspect the entire project next week. His inspection should be completed within the next 30 days. On the recommendation of Special Projects/Safety Coordinator Kenneth Slusher, Carey Walker moved, seconded by Scott Robinson, that the Board accept the low bid of $330,000 from Rugg Construction, of which includes the low base bid of $266,000 with add alternate #1 for $64,000 for the lobby addition at Ouachita Parish High School gymnasium [Bid No. 22-09]. Motion carried unanimously. On motion by A. R. Sims, seconded by Carey Walker, the Board accepted the recommendation of Special Project/Safety Coordinator Kenneth Slusher and rejected the bids for the east Ouachita bathroom renovations as the bids continue to come in almost $400,000-$500,000 over budget even after the projects have been cut wherever possible [Bid No. 21-09]. According to Mr. Slusher, plans are being made to add bathroom renovations in with some of the projects that have not been started yet to save money and at the same time suggested that some projects can be done in-house. Motion carried unanimously. On the recommendation of Business Manager Richie Garrett, Scott Robinson moved, seconded by A. R. Sims, that the Board grant permission to bid the following items: (1) OPHS Ag Building to be paid with eastside bond funds with a $1.3 million budget [Bid No. 28-09]; and (2) Copy Paper (parish wide) [Bid No. 30-09]. At this time, Mr. Garrett announced that the bid opening date for the West Ouachita Ag Center equipment falls between the next two meetings and to avoid an additional meeting this month, asked that the Board grant Purchasing Agent Bobby Jones permission in advance of the next meeting to proceed with the bid opening authorizing him to select the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications, and also to proceed with the purchase of the equipment before getting approval for this action at the next meeting. Mr. Robinson further moved to accept Mr. Garrett’s recommendation to authorize Mr. Jones to accept the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications to purchase equipment for the West Ouachita Ag Center before the next meeting and get the Board’s approval at that time. Motion carried unanimously. Everyone applauded when Mr. Sims asked several visiting Woodlawn teachers to stand up and be recognized. With a warm welcome, Mr. Sims and the Board encouraged them to come back anytime. The President set the next meeting for October 7th at 12:00 noon. There being no further business to be brought before the Board, Scott Robinson moved, seconded by A. R. Sims, that the Board meeting adjourn. Motion carried unanimously.
