MASD Hammering Budget

On October 10 the Montrose School Board meeting returned to the Junior Senior High School. Various matters of business were dealt with throughout the evening.

A letter of thanks was sent by the Endless Mountains Cruisers, acknowledging the district for their continued assistance with the annual car show. The letter related a series of charities and beneficial uses of the funds which the school's sponsorship helped.

A list of budget transfers which had been worked through in the audit with the auditors were mentioned. It was explained by the business manager that four transfers had been declared to cover: tuition, professional services and emotional support programs, tuition for a multi-handicapped student, and tuition for the career and technology center.

Mr. Caterson explained that a limitation was made on how much a district could have in its savings account via Act 1, to ensure that the district was not raising taxes while ferreting away funds. The district had its limit set at 8%, and if they did not designate a certain amount of funds to a specific purpose (such as the looming pension crisis) then they would be in excess of that amount. The district, he explained, might be censured for this. A motion was made, them, which had come from a conference call with the local auditor. The money involved was a result of the gas lease. The motion to designate the funds passed.

A new policy was recommended from the PSBA regarding the records of a special education student. It delineated rules regarding this, such as how to retain records and to whom and under what conditions the information might be disclosed. Mr. Ognosky stated that the policy was new but was in line with current district practice. It was stated that PSBA had people who monitored court cases, to suggest policy alterations to schools. This was something with Mr. Ognosky expressed appreciation for.

Friday, December 23 was scheduled to be a full day of school for students and staff, as the district's second make up day. This had been discussed with both the student liaison committee and the community advisory committee. It was said that the preference which had come up was to not add days to the end of the year. There would be one more makeup day required by the end of the year.

Back in the early 1990's the district had items which it had collected and wanted to dispose of. Apparently that stuff consisted of chemicals from the chemistry department and some old computer equipment. The district looked around for a site which would take this material, and had found one in Niagara Falls, operated by Frontier Chemical. The site was later investigated by the New York Department of Environmental Protection and had been found to be in violation. As the district was one of the dumpees, they had been part of the suit. The settlement which the district had received information on, and which had been passed on to the solicitor, would take away any responsibility to the State of New York or to Frontier Chemical, on the part of the district. The only thing that the district would not be absolved of would be were an individual to file suit, which it was not felt should be a problem. The solicitor's recommendation was that the district pay the requested $2500 and settle up with the large parties. The board agreed to do this.

Christopher Jordan has been named a National Merit Scholarship finalist. Also, the golf team and the girls' cross country team were recognized. The week prior had been the Pink Out week which Mr. Ognosky called very successful. The kindness of the students in flood disaster response was also recognized.

The annual fire prevention programs at the elementary schools were mentioned. Mr. Ognosky related that at Choconut Valley he had been frightened, as he had arrived at the school just as they were doing a mock fire drill with emergency vehicles. One fireman was carrying a first grader out in his arms. Mrs. Smith asked about the presence of defibrillators, relating a tale of how one had saved a child's life in Texas. It was responded that all buildings did have them.

The archery team was to be highlighted in a Pennsylvania Game News article on archery in the schools.

Mrs. Lusk gave an update on the local audit, they had finished the field work and were working on the annual report. The second part of the audit she expected to hear about soon, that being the single audit. When asked how far away from receiving the local audit report the district was, it was responded that it was due by the end of this month. Also, she was starting to look at the budget time line. It was clarified that if a tax collector chose to pay their taxes in the installment plan, and was late on one of the payments, as long as the first installment was made on time, then the second and third installment payments could be paid, and what happened otherwise was discussed some. There was some question as to whether being late on the second installment automatically led to a penalty on the third installment, though it was clarified that it would not go back onto the first installment. Mrs. Lusk didn't think that the third installment would automatically be late. It was suggested however that other school's business managers be contacted.

The base index for the next year was 2.3% which meant that the district could not raise taxes above that without going to referendum. It was mentioned that if the district put out a motion that it would not raise taxes above the index the budget time line could be pushed back quite significantly. It was suggested that perhaps this could be done.

Mr. Ognosky suggested that, with the cuts to conferences and other items which had been made the district not send anyone to the national school board conference. This move was agreed with.

Harford Is Hiring New Roadmaster

“I’m retiring…” So said Supervisor and Roadmaster Terry VanGorden, in a public announcement at the Harford Supervisors’ meeting on October 11. “…Again,” he added, referring to his earlier retirement from Procter & Gamble. He will yield his seat after the election next month to Doug Phelps, who won the Republican primary election over the incumbent and will be running unopposed. Mr. VanGorden also will not seek to be reappointed Roadmaster, which leaves an opening in the Harford workforce.

“[We] need to advertise for an employee,” said Mr. VanGorden. The Supervisors hope to interview candidates, make a choice, and have someone in place well before the end of the year. Mr. Phelps, who has been attending the meetings for the past several months, asked to be invited to the interviews; he will not be allowed to vote on a hire, however, until he is sworn in in January. They will be looking for someone with a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) to take a full-time, “working” position, with benefits. This will not necessarily be the Roadmaster job.

Mr. VanGorden is mindful of his legacy. Supervisor Garry Foltz once again urged his colleagues to follow the recommendation of the township’s auditors to install a time-clock to record employees hours more accurately. Protesting that he is still against the use of a time-clock for township employees, Mr. VanGorden said that he had consulted a couple of unnamed lawyers who suggested he go along with it as a “CYA” measure. He then said that he would support it anyway, “to cover my butt,” presumably to relieve him of liability for inaccurate time records that could be challenged by township taxpayers. “I’m looking after Terry L. VanGorden,” said he.

Supervisor and township Secretary Sue Furney continued to oppose the idea. Moreover she noted that use of a time-clock might result in the township owing her more money, because of the extra hours she works that would then be officially recorded.

The business meeting actually opened by recognizing Joe Elliott of Western Land Services, and Jerry George of GAI (presumably GAI Consultants, Inc.), who are representing Williams Field Services with municipalities where Williams expects to begin natural gas development, probably beginning next year. They are interested in driveway permits and road service agreements, the latter to accommodate the large vehicles that will be used during drilling. In particular, they want to be able to maintain a width of 102 inches. The standard width of rural state roads is 96 inches, requiring a special permit for such major equipment. In some locations, vehicles have been directed to use township roads to avoid having to pass over the sometimes narrower state roads.

Mr. Foltz noted that Three Lakes Road had been improved considerably by Southwestern Energy to provide access to a drilling site off Houlihan Road. He said that he would like to have additional time to review the documents offered by Mr. Elliott and Mr. George, to be able to compare them with a road service agreement the township made with Southwestern some months ago. He told them that some township roads were little more than “cow paths,” and that the township would probably consider road closures and other measures one at a time as necessary.

The township has already been studying the driveway permit granted to Cabot Oil & Gas at a location off Pennay Hill Road. It appears that the driveway is already under construction.

During his road report, Mr. VanGorden described the work his crew put in to open up White Road over the hill west of Three Lakes Road, all for one house. He said a deal was struck with Lopke for stone at $5 per ton for the project. The unbudgeted cost will have to come out of the township’s general fund because the stone was not “state certified.” Mr. Foltz will be looking to make adjustments in the budget to allow for the expense.

In any case, Mr. VanGorden reported that no more roads would be treated with oil this year. With damage from recent storms, there is a need to purchase additional culvert pipe for several locations. Ms. Furney said that there is about $41,000 left to spend in the state account, but that state funds have yet to be received to cover it.

The same Lopke operation came in for some criticism for operating excessively noisy equipment late at night. Under the township’s Industrial Noise Ordinance, such activities should not be permitted. Mr. Foltz talked with the operators who told him that they would cooperate. Late-night operations have nonetheless continued. “The ordinance is being ignored,” said Mr. Foltz. However he conceded that the township “can’t do anything about it if it’s not bothering anybody.” Under the ordinance, the township can only act upon a complaint by a resident, and “so far nobody has complained.”

Mr. VanGorden hopes to begin serious work on the Richardson Road project next week, probably Monday, October 17, weather permitting. Under the grant funding the project to replace a culvert in a swampy area, the work - already delayed by weather - must be completed by the end of November. He said that the immediate section of that road where the work will take place will be closed, but that ingress and egress from one end or the other would still be possible for local residents.

Ms. Furney requested authority to purchase two hydromatic pumps from Benton Township for $2,132 each for the sewer system. These are the old style pumps which are not being manufactured any more. Newer pumps are more difficult to fit into the existing basins, and the older pumps now in use are not considered repairable.

The engineers who manage the sewer system, David Klepadlo & Associates, have requested permission to inquire of Rural Development of the U.S. Agriculture Department about availability of funds to renovate the sewer plant, now over 15 years old and needing “improvement.”

And a project to replace the sewer pumps at the Liberty Truck Stop on the Interstate is awaiting an estimate from a contractor for the excavation. The township sewer system will be responsible for at least a part of the cost of this job because of the change in the pump configurations which will require a new basin to be installed.

Some of the township officials will attend sessions at the firehouse sponsored by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) to learn how to make application for funds for infrastructure repair as a result of the damage caused by hurricane Irene and tropical Storm Lee.

The repaving of School Street in Harford Village was partly paid from a grant provided through the county. But Joseph and Mallory Phelan chipped in $500 of their own money to help out, and the township is grateful.

The meeting ended with announcement of an executive session on a personnel matter. The next scheduled meeting will be on November 8, beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the township office on Route 547. A special meeting may be called to hire a new employee if a suitable candidate can be found.

Softball Recognitions At Elk Lake

The director's report was one of the first items covered in the Susquehanna County Career and Technology Center school board meeting on October 13 - the first of the two meetings held that day. The SCCTC was starting to work on adult education course offerings, Dr. Davis reported. The culinary program had held its first evening meal, which she said went very well. On the opening day of the restaurant, the culinary arts program had fed 90 community members and put together 25 takeout orders. The school was planning to incorporate some online classes in the near future. Cabot was to be sponsoring a challenge program. Twelve students would be eligible under this program to, according to set criteria, receive $250 at the end of the year. Students would have to earn the incentive by improving in a variety of areas. On Friday, September 23 the SCCTC students and staff had held a free meal for the families of flood victims. The children were taken to the elementary school, and the parents were able to enjoy a free meal alone. One visitor clapped when Dr. Davis spoke of this program.

Much of the rest of the meeting was taken in motions regarding routine business. A few bills were approved for work on house number three. There were two different handouts regarding transportation. One had contract revisions, which appeared to be fairly standard changes.

A list of the 2012 board meeting dates was reviewed. Once again the meetings were proposed to be held the third Thursday of the month.

Mr. Place asked Dr. Davis if, with the renovation that was being done on the building, she had encountered anything she wished had been done differently. She responded that they had not come across any thus far, adding that it was really nice to have the larger classrooms. Some of the rooms were already in use. Dr. Bush estimated that around 80% of the renovations were complete, and the rest would probably be finished next summer. Dr. Davis said that one of the things which the community had been pleased with was the overhang above the door. That was probably the comment she had heard the most, she related, that it was nice not to be standing in the rain while waiting to get buzzed in.

The Elk Lake meeting then opened. The school play was scheduled for November 4 and 5, and was titled “Just Another High School Musical.” Board members had also received information from the Nutrition Group regarding upcoming conferences.

The Susquehanna County Literacy Program thanked the board for a donation of $200, writing a letter to the superintendent.

A visitor, Dave Baltzly wished to recognize three girls for their accomplishments on the softball field in 2011, and presented to the board three plaques with their pictures and a brief writeup of each. The girls were Bri Hollenbeck, Gabby Baltzley, and Brooke Darling. The girls had helped their teammates to carry an 82 and 16 record, and to win 2 division titles, two District 2 AA titles, and two state playoff games. The previous year as seniors, all three girls had been voted as Times Tribune All-Region players. Only eleven girls in the region had received this honor. In August the Pa State Athletic Coaches' Association had named Baltzley Darling as all state player. The visitor read what was on each plaque, the descriptions of the girls which had been in the Times Tribune for the regional nomination. It was suggested that perhaps the administration could find a place to hang the plaques, speaking of how as a PIAA official he enjoyed looking at the trophy cases. The board members clapped for the girl's achievements. .

Mr. Mallery spoke during his report regarding quite a few accomplishments. On two separate occasions, he said, he had been approached by officials to commend the district's students on their behavior. The junior high girls' cross country team was holding a 20 and 0 record, and the boys held a 16 to 4 record at that time. The girls' junior high soccer program was 8 and 0, and had achieved this by scoring 40 goals while only allowing 6 thus far. For the first time at Elk Lake the girls' tennis team had won the league championship. That team was to be honored by being taken to lunch on the career center, as was standard practice for such accomplishments.

Mr. Pironne brought the board's attention to the newsletter, which described the mobile ag education science lab's visit to the district. The exhibit was sponsored by the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau and the Pennsylvania Friends of Agriculture. Students in grades 3 through 7 were allowed to spend a class period in there doing experiments. Lots of students went home and replicated the experiment with their parents. The people doing the program complimented the district for their students' interest and behavior.

Also in an attempt to get more parents in the building outside of conferences, the elementary school was providing a wide variety of activities to get parents and grandparents into the school. Events which had already occurred included first and second grade parent lunches, which each had 100 or more parents in attendance, and a curriculum night. He acknowledged the cafeteria staff for going over and above in preparing food for the extra 100 parents, and he had heard comments on how good the food was. Walmart put a box out into which their staff could place notes about which schools had been doing good things. This year the elementary and junior high schools at Elk Lake had won. The store was going to give 10 instructors $100 gift cards to Walmart for use in their classrooms. They had come to the district and brought a cake, and the gift card recipients were chosen at random.

Mrs. Staats spoke about how the life skills students had begun their life skills programs. The senior centers the year before had been afraid the students wouldn't get back out, and they had despite slightly lower numbers. IEP meetings had also begun.

The PSSA rewards program was approved, to put money into an account as an incentive for students to do really well. A lot of other schools were doing the same thing. Dr. Bush mentioned what a task the testing had come to be. He recommended that the board put $1500 into the account, noting that the administration might come back to request more if this was less than was utilized the year prior.

The superintendent asked the board permission to bid out for installing doors around the rest of the building. The district had realized huge savings. The board approved putting this out to bid.

Mr. Tewksbury raised the question of whether or not the assessor's office in Wyoming County had contacted the district regarding what should be done about taxes for those who had lost their homes. Several had been destroyed, and he wondered what would be done come tax time. He didn't know the legal ramifications. It was responded that Dr. Bush had not spoken with the assessor's office, but had been in contact with business people at the Department of Education trying to figure out what the assessment would be for the two counties. Those representatives made the comment that they did not think that assessment would go into effect until the following year. Dr. Bush did state that he would speak to the assessor's office however. Mr. Tewksbury questioned what would happen to the district's budget if the area lost so much in value. He felt this needed to be taken into effect. Other board members stated that they had not even considered this. Mrs. Hollister said that when a person's home burned down usually the assessors office went to the home and reassessed it, subtracting the value of the house. She did not know how it worked on a large scale however. A visitor said that he thought people had the right to have their property reevaluated, but that the resident might have to go request this. Mr. Place said that a lot of those affected by the tragedy had probably not even thought about this subject. Mr. Tewksbury felt someone should look into it on the behalf of the school district and the people who had these terrible tragedies occur.

Dr. Bush spoke about a fitness center. It would be a benefit to the school and the community, he said, and would affect three areas. The stage area, which was only used for graduation, was one idea for where it could be placed. It would provide a curriculum upgrade for Health and PE, would benefit the student athletes, and he felt it could be open for the public. He asked the board to think about the idea. Mr. Tewksbury had some reservations, but said he would think about it. Mr. Place wondered if an architect could just give a guess as to square footage without being paid to officially draw something up.

The earned income tax was advertised as it was supposed to be, stating that the district would continue collecting the 1 percent tax as it had been. The advertisement was required by regulations.
