Discussion with MPS Director of Facilities Thom Wood The District, in conjunction with Anne Watson's Physics class, developed an RFP for group net-metered photovoltaic electricity generation with the intent of offsetting the District's electric use with locally produced net-metered solar power.

The mood at the table is good, and the group plans to meet again to continue the process. Superintendent Ricca hopes to have new draft language for the Board to review this summer or early fall. Discussion Regarding Val Gardner's Visit to the Board Mrs. Aldrich reported that Val Gardner is not available on June 26th and because two board members are also unavailable on that date, the June 26th proposed meeting date was cancelled. In lieu thereof, Ms. Muncy suggested a full day retreat on August 18th with both Val Gardner and the Leadership Team rather a half day retreat with just the Leadership Team as previously planned. Superintendent Ricca will confirm availability with Ms. Braun and Ms. Paquette, as well as the availability of the Leadership Team for a full day retreat, and report back.

He further recommended that the Board publicize this meeting significantly and invite families and community members to join them for a more thorough discussion of the ramifications of this bill. Representative Warren Kitzmiller will also be invited, as well as Washington County Senators. Mr. Jones would like the July 15 discussion to also include parameters for talking with other districts. He also requested some formal communication from WCSU in response to communications earlier this year in regard to unification/merger/resource sharing. Mr. Hingtgen commented that structuring the meeting on July 15 might be challenging. Ms. Muncy suggested a very specific plan on facilitation so that everyone knows the rules ahead of time.

Update on Recreation Department Transition Superintendent Ricca reported that on May 27, 2015 the City Council voted unanimously to approve the transition of the Recreation Department back to the City, beginning July 1, 2016. Operational oversight will begin on April 1, 2016 and fiscal oversight will begin on July 1. Superintendent Ricca acknowledged that at this point he is not sure how all of the financial realities are going to shake out and this will factor into the District's budgeting for next year. Mrs. Aldrich said she would like to charge the City with identifying what the savings are going to be for the community. Mr. Hingtgen acknowledged the need to determine how much this transition is going to cost the District because with limited money to spend for FY17, pennies are going to matter and this needs to be determined sooner rather than later. Economy of scale issues and the possibility of asking the City for some transition time were discussed. Action Item Authorize the Board Chairperson and/or the Board Clerk/Treasurer to Sign Warrants Ms. Muncy moved, seconded by Mr. Hingtgen, to authorize the Board Chairperson and/or the Board Clerk/Treasurer to sign warrants on behalf of the entire Board between scheduled meetings or in absence of a quorum.
