In compliance with Board Policy 3511, the Board of Education recognizes the importance of minimizing the District's use of natural resources and effectively managing fiscal resources. To that end, the Superintendent or designee shall develop a resource management program which includes strategies for implementing effective and sustainable resource practices and promoting conservation principles. Effective July 1, 2015, the District entered into an agreement with Cenergistic, an Energy Conservation Company, to further promote conservation while responsibly saving District dollars. The Board embraces conservation and believes it to be our responsibility to ensure that every reasonable effort is made to conserve energy and natural resources while exercising sound financial management. As such, Staff is recommending adoption of Resolution No. 2015-16-20 to develop and implement short and long range strategies to maximize energy conservation. Bob Wells from Cenergistic was introduced and addressed the Board. He explained the Resolution is meant to demonstrate the backing of the Board in conservation efforts, and as a show of the importance of following through with the energy conservation program developed with Cenergistic. There was discussion among the Board members, and it was asked if there were any savings realized since beginning the program in July. It was answered that data collection over the past couple of months has helped to establish a baseline, and there should be some reportable hard numbers soon. It was moved by Patrick W. Kelleher and seconded by Cleveland Johnson to approve Resolution No. 2015-16-20 as presented. RECORD OF VOTES

The role of the representative is to participate in meetings, planning, and decision making activities, including approval of an adult education plan and approval of a distribution schedule, as it relates to services provided by the members of the consortium.

Enacted in 2006, Education Code Section 17292 authorized the continued use of certain relocatable buildings approved by the Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”). However, such legislation further provides that HCD-certified relocatable buildings cannot be used as school buildings as of September 30, 2015.

In this regard, the governing board of a school district is required to adopt a resolution by October 30, 2015, certifying to the State Allocation Board that, commencing September 30, 2015, HCD-certified relocatable buildings identified by Section 17292 are no longer used as school buildings.

The Moreno Valley Unified School District previously utilized certain HCD-certified relocatable buildings (“HCD Relocatables”), identified in the Resolution, which are no longer being used as school buildings. The District has removed each of the HCD Relocatables described in Exhibit “A” to the Resolution, and no other HCD Relocatables remain in use as school buildings within the District. In order to comply with Education Code section 17292, the Board must adopt the attached resolution certifying to the State Allocation Board that the HCD Relocatables are no longer being used as school buildings and that this was the case before September 30, 2015.

Sergio San Martin, Director of Facilities, was called upon to provide background and answer questions from the Board. He clarified that there was a California mandate to remove specific types of old relocatables from school campuses, and that has been done. The District is using other portables, but they are newer and fully in compliance with all regulations.

It was moved by Jesus M. Holguin and seconded by Patrick W. Kelleher to approve Resolution No. 2015-16-07 as presented.

ITEM P-4: RESOLUTION NO. 2015-16-08 OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE MORENO VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF 2015 SCHOOL FACILITIES FUNDING AND MITIGATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN AND AMONG MORENO VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2005-1 OF THE MORENO VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AND WSI LINCOLN PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLC AND DELEGATING AUTHORITY RELATED THERETO To mitigate the impacts of development on “School Facilities” within the District, the District previously entered into a School Facilities Funding and Mitigation Agreement Between Moreno Valley Unified School District and Richland Meadowland, LTD. dated July 20, 2005 (“Original Mitigation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Original Mitigation Agreement, the District established a community facilities district encompassing the “Property” (“CFD No. 2005-1”) for the purpose of financing School Facilities to the extent therein provided, as well as certain public improvements to be owned and operated, respectively, by District and Eastern Municipal Water District (“EMWD”) through the levy of such special taxes of CFD No. 2005-1 (“Special Taxes”) and issuance of bonds or other financing secured by the levy of Special Taxes (“Bonds”) as set forth in the Original Mitigation Agreement. Thereafter, on July 15, 2008, due to a change in ownership of the “Prior Owners,” as described in the Original Mitigation Agreement, the District and the then-owners of the Property entered into Amendment No. 1 to School Facilities Funding and Mitigation Agreement Between Moreno Valley Unified School District and Richland Meadowland, LTD. (“Amendment No. 1” and, together with the Original Mitigation Agreement, the “2008 Mitigation Agreement”) to amend the Original Mitigation Agreement. “Prior Owners” built and sold 50 “Existing Homes”. RSI Moreno Valley LLC bought 98 lots several years ago and is building and selling homes on the “RSI Property.” The remainder of CFD No. 2005-1 is owned by WSI Lincoln Property Holdings, LLC (“WSI” and “WSI Property”). Presently, developers RSI and WSI own the balance of undeveloped land within CFD No. 2005-1, with RSI representing that it will develop approximately 98 single family detached dwelling units and WSI representing that it will develop approximately 86 single family detached dwelling units. It has been proposed to sell Bonds of CFD No. 2005-1 after 120 of the 150 homes (52 Existing Homes and 98 RSI homes) have been built and sold. As home prices have decreased in CFD No. 2005-1 since 2005, the special taxes of CFD No. 2005-1 will have to be reduced. To avoid impact to WSI and its future developments, it is proposed to establish CFD No. 2015-3 as to the WSI Property and establish special taxes comparable to the existing Special Taxes of CFD No. 2005-1. The costs of the necessary agreements for formation of CFD No. 2015-3 are being funded by RSI and WSI. In light of this information, to ensure the availability of “Public Facilities” within the District, the District, CFD No. 2005-1, WSI and RSI wish to provide for (i) the successful formation of CFD No. 2015-3 with respect to the WSI’s planned development of 86 units, and (ii) subsequently the reduction of the Special Tax rates as to the property owned by RSI within CFD No. 2005-1, and (iii) lastly, the cancellation of the Special Taxes as to the property owned by WSI within CFD No. 2005-1. To this end, it is proposed that the Board consider, concurrently, entering into two agreements, the first of which is entitled “2015 School Facilities Funding and Mitigation Agreement Between and Among Moreno Valley Unified School District, Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 of the Moreno Valley Unified School District, WSI Lincoln Property Holdings, LLC, (“2015 WSI Mitigation Agreement”) and the second of which is entitled “First Amended and Restated School Facilities Funding and Mitigation Agreement between the School District, CFD No. 2005-1, WSI and RSI Moreno Valley LLC (“AR/RSI Mitigation Agreement”).

The 2015 WSI Mitigation Agreement and the AR/RSI Mitigation Agreement are also being approved by the Board of Education (“Board”), acting as the legislative body of CFD No. 2005-1. Items P4 and P5 were considered together. ITEM P5: RESOLUTION NO. 2015-16-09 OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE MORENO VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED SCHOOL FACILITIES FUNDING AND MITIGATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN MORENO VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2005-1 OF THE MORENO VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, WSI LINCOLN PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLC AND RSI MORENO VALLEY, LLC, AND DELEGATING AUTHORITY RELATED THERETO

COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND SUPERINTENDENT

Patrick W. Kelleher

Mr. Kelleher complimented the high quality of the Back to School nights he attended. He stated they were wonderful events which provided good information and displayed student progress. He also commended Maintenance and Operations for working “night and day” to get things in order for the opening of school. Mr. Kelleher appreciated the information provided on the new testing system to assist parents in interpreting the scores and for preparing for their anticipated questions.

Denise Fleming

Dr. Fleming commended the Facilities Department for their challenging work over the summer, especially noting the extra efforts at Moreno Valley High School. In visiting campuses, she expressed a concern over an increase in cement and lack of landscaping, leaving less student-friendly spaces. She worries that we are losing some “school” feel by some of our conservation efforts.

Dr. Fleming attended the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) meeting for Special Education parents and touted it as a wonderful resource for parents, encouraging others to attend. Dr. Fleming also is glad that we will be adding a Security position to the District, and is interested in finding out how advanced technology can assist in this area. She related information about a pilot school that was in the news that used a grant to install state-of-the-art security systems, including cameras accessible by law enforcement, and suggested we try to look into something like that.

Dr. Fleming is excited for the Community Football Game Night, and is glad that we will be supporting one side, without having to split support throughout the game. This topic also brings to mind the need to move forward on the Canyon Springs stadium.

Responding to the Superintendent’s Report regarding the upcoming SAT testing, she noted that it is important to encourage students to take the test this year while the older familiar format is still being used. So beyond the districtwide support for seniors to take the test, we should also share that information with juniors. She also thanked staff for sharing public information on closing the achievement gap for African American and Latino students.

Jesus M. Holguin

Mr. Holguin congratulated and welcomed the new administrators to the team, offering help and support. He stated he appreciated the Leadership Summit as a great event to start off the year, offering inspirational and informative presentations.

Mr. Holguin thanked staff for the information about college-going activities and stated that it is critical to establish relationships with colleges, adding that our graduation brochure is great. Mr. Holguin noted Hispanic Heritage month and concerns of Latinos, and complimented the good job we are doing in this District. He announced the upcoming Unity conference as a useful group event. He also distributed a copy of an RCSBA program that highlights that organization.

Regarding CSBA issues and activities, he explained support for higher education includes a focus on subgroups, and another big issue is a teacher shortage and how that can be addressed. As far as ongoing efforts regarding the Reserve Cap, he stated that the latest effort is to try to get action on SB 799, which amends the provisions, before the Legislative Session ends. If that does not happen they will still continue to fight the Reserve Cap. Mr. Holguin stated that during his tenure with CSBA he has been writing monthly articles. One particular article focused on progress in Bilingual education, and he noted Baldwin Park and MVUSD as excellent examples.

He has also highlighted strengths of the District in other program articles, including our Parent Ambassadors and parental involvement. He continues to use his voice to highlight MVUSD throughout the State.

Cleveland Johnson

Mr. Johnson congratulated and welcomed the new administrators, and thanked Dr. Verdi for the good processes established that result in good hires for the District. He complimented the great turnout at a Mountain View event, especially well represented by AVID parents. He was approached by a grandmother at that event who noted and commented on the lack of African American parents as volunteers. They agreed we should continue to appeal to parents to get out and volunteer, and to take advantage of successful programs like AVID. Although our graduation numbers are good, he saw a statistic that only 4% of CSUSB students are African American males; there is always room for improvement and we need to reach all students.

Mr. Johnson visited Bridges Learning Center and related a story of a conversation with a student about the inventor of the Hot Cheetos flavor, Richard Montanez, who was a janitor at the time. The student knew the story, and that led Mr. Johnson to encourage all students to persevere and succeed.

Gary E. Baugh

Mr. Baugh expressed appreciation for school being back in session and for all the work the Board Members do to achieve Excellence on Purpose. He attended a presentation done by two science teachers regarding a Cyber program. He was impressed to see two schools come together for the good of students. He also attended the RCSBA event for Superintendent and Board members, and remarked that it was a very good experience in leadership training.

Mr. Baugh agreed with Dr. Fleming about the lack of shade and how hot it can be on the campuses, and this needs to be addressed. He also expressed appreciation to staff and consultants who assist with the complex issues during the Board meeting to make sure these important matters are completed correctly.

Judy D. White

Dr. White addressed concerns expressed about the conservation efforts, explaining that most changes are internal, not external, and therefore should not be overly affecting the green spaces at schools. She was invited by students to witness the lack of shade at a campus, and said we will have to address this and find areas of compromise.

Dr. White announced that the work of the 14 Parent Ambassadors last year were so successful that it was noted by the California Endowment, and with their support we will be trying to take on 20 Parent Ambassadors this year. She also announced we are actively seeking someone for the Asian target area.

Dr. White gave a positive shout out to the online state-of-the art virtual science lab in place, and thanked the Board for the support of all the District programs.

ADJOURNMENT

With no further business to come before the Board, the Regular Meeting of the Board of Education was adjourned at 10:10 p.m.
