>> Okay. >> Thank you. >> If you know the dates, we'll make sure that we don't bump into them because that that was a Zoom glitch, we believe. >> Okay. And I'll try to find out when the Greenfield Educational Foundation is their next meeting. And if we can go, I don't know. Can we all go or is that a a problem? because >> um you well I think you can be at the same thing but you're not to be discussing anything that has to do with your subcommittee. >> Okay. >> Um depending that would be depending on who you would be talking with. >> Um but if you're not talking anything about it, I don't see a reason why you couldn't be the same thing. We all could have been at graduation. We all could have been at a concert. So, and the just as an FYI, the Summer Eats opening has not been announced yet.
I have some updates in there on some work we've been doing as a leadership, but I'd really like to focus on the business and operations. I know uh, we were unable to have a um, fac meeting uh earlier this evening. So tried to put into my updates some of the facility updates uh just so we can all kind of be up to speed on some of the things that are happening. So we have uh the CLES fence project. Um as I think we mentioned previously um we've been working to ensure that we are compliant with the wetlands uh commission on where the fencing will go. Casey's been doing uh wonderful work working with the wetlands commission uh to identify the area where the fence will will be placed. Um and so now uh what we've been tasked to do is um overlay where the fence will go with the uh map of CL and where the wetlands are uh just to uh provide the wetlands commission the exact location of where that fence will be placed.
>> Wow. Time flies. Oh my gosh. >> Yeah. And I think they're also building town homes. I know the city of San Jose um is no longer allowing really for single family homes to be built. So it's probably going to be town homes there. >> Oh yeah. Or >> I heard it was single family. It was interesting. Okay. Yeah. Which is why I was surprised because it's how how do they get the approval to build single family homes is what it is. But on on the list for the uh for the Pedmont property there. Uh so a couple of things are interesting. Financial services no retail bank. Um it's permitted to be there. Um I was thinking office medical was was something exciting. can have multiple uh you know medical offices or dental offices within a within a shared space. Uh there are many many such um properties or or buildings that have uh shared medical dental facilities within them.
The team finished ranked number 14 in the top uh 25 in North Jersey, advancing to the second round of the states, the semi-finals of the counties and a half a game out of first place in the league. This year's MVP, which will continue his education and his athletic career at Ruckers University, Mikola Datik. Next up is Coach Griskin, girls soccer. All right, this senior class had a rough uh season with the injury bug, but that did not stop them from having an impact on the season. They showed up to every practice, they showed up to every game, and they made an impact on all the younger players. uh they're they were truly dedicated to the program which they have been a part of for four years. I want to thank them all for being uh great role models for all the younger players. Uh the senior players are Kiara, Giana, Zana, Sam, Ingred, and Jenna.
Any opposed? >> All right. >> Jumping right in. >> All right. Uh Paul Warner. Get back to that. There it is. Between May 14th, 2026 and June 3rd, 2026. I Paul Kendall. Authorized by my signature. payables in the amount of $766,933.32. This includes general fund expenses of 515,839 $83953 revolving expenses of $245,61 grant expenses of $5,411.93 and meals tax expenses of $7585. Finally, I authorized payroll uh for1,55,84988. >> Thanks, Paul. >> Uh okay, Jim, supervisor report. >> Yeah, so I'm just going to give a brief update on a few things that are happening across the district, but let me just start with the two searches that we have. Uh and the um I'll start with the director of student services search. We currently have 24 applicants. Um and the the initial search committee has been uh selected. Uh they've all the folks who I emailed who had interest said they could make both dates.
There were several that um I attend or at least one that I attended I think by myself and there were a number that I attended with attorney Lisa me as well. Um so I hope you recall those but there were occasions where we came to the board um and this is an important thing that I just want to highlight right now. Um because while we're sitting as town council with the zoning board that doesn't change the fact that the select board is our client, right? And so at the end of the day, um, town council answers to a majority of this board. This board is declined. And so, um, we had a number of meetings. I think Lisa attended probably some other meetings before I was involved. Um, but I'll let her speak to those, um, when she's available. Um but we did attend a number to give the board an opportunity to ask us questions, to hear from us, to um discuss, you know, the policy direction of um of these matters, particularly this one.
Any opposed? >> Thank you, Shantel. Thank you, Tina. >> All right, jumping right in. All right. Uh, Paul Warner. Get back to that. There it is. between May 14, 2026 and June 3rd, 2026. I Paul Kendall authorized by my signature payables in the amount of 766,933.32. This includes general fund expenses of $515,839 $83953 revolving expenses of $245,61 grant expenses of $5,411.93 and meals tax expenses of $7585. Finally, I authorized payroll uh for1,55,84988. >> Thanks, Paul. Uh okay, Jim, superintendent report. >> Yeah, so I'm just going to give a brief update on a few things that are happening across the district, but let me just start with the two searches that we have. Uh and the um I'll start with the director of student services search. We currently have 24 applicants. Um, and the the initial search committee has been uh selected. Uh, they've all the folks who I emailed who had interest said they could make both dates.
Sounds good. Sounds good? >> Yeah. And I think the other would be a a staff update like cost of hiring and all of that stuff. Because that I mean we have a big transition people in and people out. Um I think I'd like to see a staff update on that meeting. You know, I know that >> For June or >> For next year. Maybe in July for next >> I mean >> Sure. It's a pain. >> Well, you could do You know, for the sake of elaborate phrase, let the dust settle as much as it can be yet within you can for July and August. And then as soon as I like to say once the rubber hits the road, I mean the real you know, come >> That's August. Okay. So, that will be for August. So, So, we'll have a meeting at some point in June before our next regular warrants meeting.
Okay. >> It's usually last year it was like June 22nd. >> I think they do a good job advertising that. >> Yeah. It's just an opportunity to to to sort of be present, I would say, when there's a lot of parents that are there. >> Was down at Green River last year with a food truck, right? >> Yep. And um because we have a new food person. So, >> you know, that individual may not know >> exactly what >> I said that out loud today for the first time to a new principal and I realized a new facilities person, a new superintendent, a new foods person. I said to her, "If an alarm goes off at Newton, here's my cell number because I'm probably the only person who knows how to shut it off." >> Right. Well, it it is we had the same thing in city hall.
So that way they can make a decision on whether we can put it there or not, or if they allow it, what we might have to do in alternate areas of the facility to maybe either replant something or kind of create an environment that maintains um the integrity of the area that we would be putting up the fence. Um so that's kind of where we are with that. And again, uh just as of today, Casey's been working in in putting all that together. So I can't thank her enough. the VHS boiler. Uh last I think we provided an update. We had given you a quote that was a little higher than we had expected, a little over 400,000. Um and so um I don't know last week maybe it was I think uh we had a walk through and we had many bid uh folks come and take a look at our boiler.
Um are there any anything in your is there anything in your database or anyone you know through your contacts? >> Sure. >> Or anyone here that knows >> any dentist that is interested? Sure. No, we we uh we work uh very closely with the commercial real estate brokerage market and we definitely did bring uh the the opportunity to a firm that specializes in medical office specifically. Um, and at a very high level, the cost to convert the building to a medical office building is quite substantial and the rents would not uh the math wouldn't work out essentially for the amount of rent that a medical office tenant could pay versus the amount of money it would cost to improve the space. Medical office uh tenant improvements are extremely costly just given all the plumbing and the the different rooms. It's it's very expensive. And so it was essentially looked at as cost prohibitive.
My MVP is someone who day in and day out took the hits, took the bumps, took the bruises, and took a toll on her body. I know it wasn't easy, but she shined in every opportunity and every challenge that came across her. Replacing her in gold will be very hard, but replacing her heart, her hard work, dedication, and character will be impossible. She earned second team all county, first team all league, and finished her career well over 300. Savage Ga Cologne. All right, before we move on, guys, let's keep the conversations to uh dinner. All right, let's be respectful of all the programs and all the coaches who are coming up. There'll be plenty of time to talk for dinner, dessert, and afterward. Rounding out the fall is uh girls and boys cross country. Going to ask Coach Swisser to come up. All right.
Uh so I'll be sending out more information um probably tomorrow or Friday with regard to having just a brief Zoom meeting with me to talk about expectations and um introduce really Aaron and and Kate uh who will be running that search. uh for us uh and and outline the process. High quality candidates for sure in there. Um and uh Britney, as you know, Britney's here through August 14th, so she'll I I want to be clear, we're not necessarily we're not going to speed track this is I struggle having conversations with other superintendents about stealing folks this time of year, of course. Um and if we don't find the right candidate, there are interims that are available. Uh, I think that's an important thing to remember. Uh, at least from the director of student services side, I think that's more of a reality to go down that path if need be.
And we carry that, of course, forward to the zoning board. Um and so when we have these workshop meetings and when I meet with the zoning board, uh we do that in in a way that's consistent with the instructions that we've been given. That's the whole point, of course. And so, um, we're always very mindful of that. Um, and that's the bridge between, you know, what's happening at the select board and what's happening at the zoning board. And so, you'll see those occurred as well. And of course, the decision ultimately issued um the select board met just shortly thereafter to discuss the fact that it did issue and what choices um, you know, could potentially come from that. There's a couple others um other entries here that I just want to mention um because they're a bit um they don't speak for themselves. And so one of the ones is you'll see on uh September 30th uh D EPA attendance.
Uh, so I'll be sending out more information um probably tomorrow or Friday with regard to having just a a brief Zoom meeting with me to talk about expectations and um introduce really Aaron and and Kate uh who will be running that search uh for us uh and and outline the process. High quality candidates for sure in there. Um, and uh, Britney, I as you know, Britney's here through August 14th, so she'll I I want to be clear, we're not necessarily we're not going to speed track this is I struggle having conversations with other superintendent about stealing folks this time of year, of course. Um, and if we don't find the right candidate, there are interims that are available. Uh, I think that's an important thing to remember. uh at least from the director of student services side, I think that's more of a reality to go down that path if need be.
And Hey, any other topics or that good? I think we've covered a lot. And if you come up with another topic, so long as you email it to me with enough time to get it posted on the agenda, we'll be good. Um a last note I wanted to say because I'm paranoid about the tech issues, I wanted to make sure that for Annie when she does her the minutes that she knows we were called to order at 11:35 just in case the audio did not catch for that because I'm paranoid. >> I'm good. >> So, are we ready to adjourn them? >> Yes. >> Okay, all in favor? >> Second. >> All in favor? >> Yeses and >> [laughter] >> I. >> Okay, we are adjourned at noon on the dot.
It is very hard when you have all >> we had like a brand new accounting department, >> right? >> I didn't mean to scare her. I was actually offering her help. You know, it was like there's a lot of buttons, there's a lot of alarms, and there's a lot of codes and um they don't change them. And you know, if you get stuck, you know, and the police are standing there going, you're in charge and you don't know what to do. Dial >> dial a friend. >> Right. Um, >> can I just say one thing about the fingerprinting thing? Um >> right after that came up um Anna at the library was approached by somebody um about the fingerprinting program. Um it actually is quite uh time consuming. I guess when it was being done here before they were over a hundred a month. >> Oh wow.
Uh and we are now waiting for those bids to come in. they have until June 19th uh for the bids to come in. So I would be requesting of the board to consider a special meeting on uh June 22nd, 23rd or 24th, whatever works best for you. Preferably the earlier the better because we have a short time between June blank date and June 30th when our fiscal >> expenditures are due. Um, so I am requesting that we have a special meeting to review the bids that come in and make a decision on a vendor. >> Did you said the 22nd or the 23rd? >> We can do virtually. Yes, that's fine. >> It's up to the board. 23rd. >> Are you okay with the 23rd for a special meeting? might be eas. >> So, what time do you guys want to start? >> 6 o' virtually on the 23rd.
>> Oh, interesting. That that's a good point because they do have those uh uh what is it called? Um you know medical when you dispose medical supplies they need to have a separate room, separate storage for that. It cannot be uh part of that. Uh so Oh yeah, that that makes sense. That that'll that'll be that'll discourage them from pursuing this uh this property. uh retail bank. We don't have a bank in that area, >> you know. >> And unfortunately, they're closing more banks than they are opening. I think that's >> Chase just opened something uh somewhere in this area. Some I was just reading about it. >> Yeah. Unfortunately, it feels like every that is the the most common thing we actually see is is banks closing nowadays. Yeah. The retail banks closing. >> Oh, great. Good to know. So, everybody's closing. >> Yes, I guess.
Good evening everyone. Um I'm standing in for the legendary coach Pontis this evening. Um he's sadly not with us for the first time since this dinner has been a thing. Uh he's still competing at a state meet. Well, not him himself, but he's part of a state meet happening down in Penul right now. He regrets that he can't be here. sends all of you his congratulations. Um, him still being at a state meet this far into June is a testament to the success of the programs that he's put together for many years, over 40 as a matter of fact. And just if I could first offer a congratulations to all of our graduating senior athletes, I'm sure every single one of you remember the first time you stepped out on the field, stepped out ready to race, stepped out ready to compete for the first time.
