016something yeah a little more serious so that's it thank you Dolores Garis for Summit View Drive Mountaintop PA it has been previously and repeatedly stated by Mr Boon and Mr Macker that the politically esteemed Mr de save the taxpayers of Mountaintop and the Crestwood Community hundreds of thousands of dollars to the contrary what your political motives did all benefit Mr Jack Dean Mr Dean's primary benefits were his pieces pensions his taxpayer funded benefit package and the fact that he answered to no one as a member of the administrative team Mr Dean became an employee in 2 2022 when the board agreed to the position created for him he retired January 1st 2025 many times in the past this board pointed back to previous boards for the clear and painful Financial incompetence all taxpayers feel every
017day now today we can use this political friend and his massive Financial package as a shiny example of this board's lack of leadership and repeated Financial malpractice this board has an army of financial advisors who are political friends and compensated employees but yet can barely keep its head above the water financially often using magic math or emotional lusters from behind the table as we look forward forward there are many big decisions to be made all of which will impact the people of the Crestwood Community things like contracts and massive building and grounds repairs that have been ignored for years not to mention projects looming to our athletic fields a track which was ignor it a turf field that needs to be replac and the baseball field that acts like a financial sponge because because of
018ongoing incompetence personal agendas and political gains I wish Mr Dean well as he turns his back and strides back to his Law Firm which I believe he never left carrying his money stuffed Bri case filled with hard earned taxpayer dollars all made possible by this board in closing I'll ask this board to come up with a long range plan because you can't blame the teachers or the support staff you can't blame the cost of the health care benefits have you had no problems giving away benefits to all of your political friends I ask that you all go home tonight and look in the mirror thank you for the opportunity to share my opinion in this public forum Mrs Garis uh thank you for speaking but can I say I think you should go home and
019should be ashamed because because you make false accusations against me you just made false accusations against this entire board which I take offense excuse me no no it is she she just she does I did listen I did listen no I'm sorry Mrs gregar you have attacked Mr Dean over and over again you guys can all have your time and come up and yell at me what I said tell don't believe what I honestly all of it give me one yes give me proof please because I would love to hear it well you do know that Mr Dean's position was creative you yourself told me that no create we always had a solicitor he filled that role then and then when it was created you said approved by the board we have do we not
020have a solicitor here right now yes you do right and was Mr Dean not here also as a solicitor at a high paying job he was here and he worked only for the school and we did not pay him an hourly rate like we will now be paying Mr slester because he's part of a law firm and we'll be paying him hourly we did not have to pay Mr Dean hourly he saved the school over $100,000 more than that of time that he put in so no there was no back pedaling there was no back room deals there's no one going off but you need to have proof when you make accusations like that so I would like to see the pro I go back to the minutes of every meeting then bring them in
021please because those were horrible accusations you made against every member of this board and I definitely take offense because none of it is true none of it Mr Dean did not get a pension where did he because if I'm wrong tell me Jack worked for three years there's no piecers in three years right okay well then I'm corre stand to be well so why don't you write all it down and we will go over it because maybe there's other areas you're confused and we could clear it up I did go over it ask her about the $69,000 ti J husband hey I was very clear with that the minute it happened and he bailed this school out and I was very clear about that where where's fine where's your proof that's that's degreg right now
022what you just said I did I know you did and where's your so what didd you get out of it nothing because there's nothing there you got nothing out of it okay folks let's take a timeout here I think it's gone a little bit too far well he's spreading lies about my husband now like this is very very yes excuse me sir the podium you could come up and address the board via the podium let's take please Tom Tom skitzki come to the microphone then come to the microphone Tom skitzki why then because you don't want everyone at home to hear you you don't want everyone at home let's let's take a minute here I listen to you sir sir let's take a minute enough we have the podium if you'd like to say anything
023further listen to you just said you won't listen to anybody so that's coming out of a contradiction so if you'd like to speak please go to the podium if you don't please let others speak via the podium like there supposed to right I'd like to talk about uh Mr benz's job um Mr Benz I know you and I haven't seen eye to eye over the years and U you know we have each other blocked I think on social media but uh you're doing a pretty good job here and uh the numbers show it we're trending in the right area and uh I really think that the $85,000 is kind of insulting I've been here uh in the evenings picking up kids from wrestling and going to meets and stuff and i' I see it here
024all the time and uh I've asked people administrators and uh you know I was kind of wrong about you I'm glad I mean uh I don't like the way you were hired I'll be I'll be blunt but um you know keep it up and uh can I ask you how many hours you put in but generally well it it certainly you just work evenings or like no I I come in at the same time as the other administrators and um if necessary I'll stay in the evenings or or weekends whatever it depends what time of year budget season obviously a lot more you know other times less but it's a full-time job um so I I treat it whatever hours are needed it's you know it's not a um an hourly job where I'm punching
025a CL how many years have you been doing this for free well what the benefits this is my third budget cycle in in this role for CR three years yeah okay so I know a friend of mine at another district is making about a buck 50 at least so you saved the district 450,000 well I don't know that well we not take it a salary that that type of salary is usually for districts much larger than Crestwood what I'm seen so our the 85 is lower and I'm happy to do it for lower a lot to this District so that's not a problem but 150 would be an exaggeration for business manager at cres why uh Mr maer why are we I I know Mrs Campbell said at some meetings when Mrs bazo got hired
026and when the administrators got a race you were we went public and you said we can't afford to lose these people okay I think 85,000 is kind of like 1990 something rights for a business manager I mean do you want to you want to keep this guy I mean I I you guys well what I'm saying is I mean it's like that in-law that you know takes advantage of after a while then when you finally do pay him or he does pay you it's you know 50 cents on the dollar Tom I appreciate the support but I'm perfectly happy with the salary we're training the right way so I'd like to see you you know stick around a little while yeah I hope I hope to as well okay and uh let me I just
027wanted to tell you something about Mrs Garis will you agree with her or not I I did an internship one year and she worked at kler with uh special needs kids like our uh life skills kids and she she really did God's work and for someone to you know be rude to her and sometimes I i' I've seen this like sarcasm when she speaks this is her right as a citizen okay and she's a taxpayer and she deserves the right to speak and not be treated in such a manner and I think it was disgraceful marle and uh I apologize for losing my temper but I saw enough so thank you thank you I must point out this board has been extremely extremely polite to Mrs gagas at every meeting we welcome her we let
028her speak well over her limited time we engage right now wait let me speak please and you could rebut right now some of the things she said tonight were not accurate most of the things she said tonight were not accurate it is her right to say them I don't question that I didn't cut her off at the time and I let her speak but you must be accurate when you're making allegations of that level one thing when Jack was here I didn't agree with him a lot of times Jack Dean but he always treated everybody up there with and I don't see some of that going on I'm not saying who Mr Kane hello I'm Bill Kane uh Crestwood as tion Association um Mr Webby I just have a question on items two and three
029on the physical plant is is that related to putting doors in the pods Etc is that I I honestly cannot discuss that that's more of a Safety and Security aspect okay thank you Mr Green welcome back we haven't seen you in a while got a pinch nerve in my leg I can't walk um first of all I'd like to say that I appreciate the ability to talk here but what's going on is blatantly that we're not even following or Robert's Rules of Order because you're the chairperson you're supposed to speak I was here at a meeting and I threw out some suggestions because it's been asked by the board for people to think outside the box ways to save money I voice something people have the right on the board to disagree but they also
030are supposed to go through you not just chime in wherever they are sitting there because my head's like a bobblehead trying to follow everyone that's talking to give you the courtesy of looking at you someone didn't agree with what I said at a meeting and Point Blank I got told case Clos end of discussion and I responded with a h Hitler because I'll tell you it was is rude for someone to say that because that person is not the chairperson it's up to you it's not up to them and nothing was said from the board about case closed end of discussion so I'd like to see us go back to that I have questions too you know as far as the the fields are going changing subject a little bit I'd like a little more
031in-depth as to what's going on with the track field I mean I know you're going to replace the under Turf and the or the under pinning in the turf is the field finally going to be regulation so we can hold all types of events here or is it still going to be like that you're referring to the track and the length of the track yeah so the track is not going to be expanded it's going to be the current length the reason were is the cost to that project the permitting to that project and at this point we felt the repair of the track and being able to return track as soon as possible to home meets was a priority versus the long-term planning and and staging and financing of extension of 34t 27 27
032meters so in order to do 27 M you have to expand back you have to put up a retaining wall you have to bring in fill you have to have an npds because of the water retention and how it flows back there so you're not talking you know you're talking six plus digits just on the permitting let alone the design and actual work if you're going to go with that field what about the other side of the building couldn't you put the track field over there and it would probably be a lot cheaper to start from scratch there to start from to start from scratch means redoing the subbase and creating all that so what happens is you take a a repair cost and overlay and now you create it from the beginning so you
033were probably ordering a magnitude of 3 to 4 times the cost to create a whole new track and subbase all right so it's not financially feasible is what you're saying fiscally feasible I understand that and I appreciate that but while we're on that subject wasn't it the school board that decided to put the middle school on top of the septic system for this whole school dist or school and we've had problems with that and we only have a short-term fix on that I have a very difficult time speaking to that I mean you're going back back 2000 2000 M so that would be think about that that's at least 10 or 12 boards prior I and in fact I don't think anyone correct me if I'm wrong Barry I don't even think Barry was on
034the board at that point in time so when you look back at that to say that was done it was done we we were dealt with it we have accommodations for it it did cause issues but it's accounted for at this point we can't go back in time and remake board come up with a a plan to remedy it long term well we do have access to it we did remove and put a pump station outside of that area so we should no longer ever have to access that so that was accommodated that was a project run by Mr Dean that saved the district quite a bit of money yes it did because you're looking at a half a million dollars for a new septic system absolutely that's my concern because I'm one of what's
035becoming the majority here retirees that are on fixed income and we're trying to watch where our money is being spent and we are too very much so well I don't want to criticize but I'm looking at this list and just did some quick numbers and we're in month two and you've got for almost $42,000 in coaching fees and you have these are just the numbers that are on your thing I mean we're I'm not criticizing spending money but last year when I did the numbers and brought them to a meeting you had spent $488,000 on coaching salaries and fees and yet only 28,000 in change on advisors for like the math club the AP Club you're a little disproportionate in what you're spending the money on do you understand the time difference between the two
036Mr Green yeah I do so are you saying that that time's not has no value to it no dollar value on a hour so coaching is multiple days a week multiple hours at a session for three straight months advising very important and very productive in this school and we have professionals that do an exceptional job with it is not nearly that amount of time it's Mr King could probably give me a better answer than I could but you know several hours a month would that be accurate as opposed to you you know wrestling wrestling goes on for 4 months they're at least on the mat two hours a day weekends at tournaments in a way you're you're talking at least 20 20 plus hours a week for that whole season that's the difference in pay
037seems justifiable to me for the amount of students it interacts and enriches their educational and um life you used wrestling I'll use golf you got got 10 kids on the golf team no I think we have like 34 no no we've for several years we have a JV team we have a a VAR City team I believe there's the last numbers I saw for gol the total um participants was more in the 40 to 50 range I think the 10 number you're thinking about is that's the number of golfers who get to travel to away meets and and compete but all all of them get access to the course set practice for for several months even if they don't make the this 10 travel and then six of their scores actually count so so that
038I know a lot of people think 10 because that's what go of the way meets but the number that's published that's what we go by yeah you know many many more are there at practice every day and get an opportunity to use the course okay thank you Mr Kane and Mr Green you both mentioned um item number I just want to clear this up just for everyone um number two and three the board had approved that proposal a couple months ago the reason that they're on the agenda now is anytime a capital payment is issued the board has to approve it so a couple months ago the total amount was $72,000 these are just the payments associated with their previous approval a couple months ago so just wanted to let you know that may I
039speak again please I made some notes uh going through some notes Mrs Campbell uh Mrs malaso uh created position was a new position when you were hired to a new post of Human Resources Specialists and medical asset coordinator at $65,000 annually that was the April 16th board meeting of 20 21 Mr Dean's last board meeting at votch where he was paid $150 per hour and I believe Handover gave him a raise to1 170,000 uh $170 that was his last day of employment there and before long Mr Dean moved into your position after you became superintendent you gave it to him that made him an employee that he was earning $90,000 at one time and that went to was it I believe 120,000 or 124 I believe somebody said he was up to 130 something thousand
040before he left I'm asking I if I get I believe at the time when he was hired here uh our solicitor fees were at least $90,000 he was solicitor and HR he was both he was both at that time it was given from Mrs malaza uh yes when she was that was according to the newspapers you did not have an HR oh I'm sorry wait human resource no you you didn't have it it was created in 2021 and Mrs malaza was the first outside person to fill that position and then she went to business how many people are now in the business office it seems like we're always overboard until Mr Ben came in and know it we've been changed the amount business office we haven't changed the amount of staff in the business office
041you were a business you were I was the business manager because that was your strong point for being appointed because you never taught a classroom in a classroom and I remember somebody speaking here we didn't trust the board because of the way Mrs malonzo you were I like you as a person but not how you got to your job and then Mr Dean got the HR there was a young man here speaking one time that no not too many people trust this board and a lot of us don't who calls a meeting at uh on a Wednesday at 12:30 in the afternoon for uh a position to be filled you mean for an interview no uh for somebody to be appointed to a position who wasn't I don't want to say it out that who
042it is but you know who it is just look back at that meeting I it was on a Wednesday at 12:30 in the afternoon there was a whole list of coaches before that meeting and that person's name was not on that list until that 12:30 meeting on a Wednesday afternoon well somebody will tell you after the meeting now uh Mr Dean if I said something wrong you tell tell me where I to be corrected did he leave here with a a benefit package no oh he left with nothing after all these years um he worked as as a district employee for 3 years yes at a nice salary well being a a lawyer and then h a man of Mary of many hats as you all claimed and all of a sudden everything is Fallen
043apart and one of those was uh the building and grounds and what other hats did he wear can I speak sure I probably should cut keep my mouth shut but Jack was a solicitor a Director of Human Resources he was formerly an environmental engineer and I'm an outsider I haven't been on this board except appointed for vacancies for a long time the work that I've seen Jack do here has actually saved hundreds of thousands of dollars my opinion he was underpaid for wearing Three Hats secondly the financial aspects that you were referred to earlier regarding mismanagement of dollars in the school district I don't know where that comes from I think it's totally unjustified as a chairman of the finance committee I work closely with Ben I've seen what the former boards have done and
044this group of people going back a few years has done a tremendous job in riding this ship our we're trending very good right now we're not out of the woods by any means it's like drowning in 10 feet of water and now we're drowning in six inches of water but we're still drowning but the but the reference to political appoes the employment of a superintendent who never taught in in a she never taught in a classroom you so somebody the board somebody made a decision that the qualifications the management skills the understanding of operating a $50 million entity was justified in appointing her or offering that woman a job the guy that runs Boeing is not necessarily a 787 pilot or 77 pilot people that run large machine shops are not necessarily machinists but they're
045good leaders they're good managers so so to have a prerequisite to be a superintendent or a manager for an entity of $50 million to have a preit that they had to work as a math teacher or social studies teacher I think is an I think it's debatable okay you have to look at the total skills of the of the individual Mr nardone how many people applied for the position of superintendent I don't know you were on the board yeah I don't know everybody up there should know how many people I don't commit that stuff to my memory you you weren't you weren't on the board and maybe yeah see that I wasn't even on the board I didn't know that I know you were invited back yes Comm that of well they said it was
046all uh was a principles that uh applied the the idea is you was there any superintendent that applied put anybody tell me on the board I don't know well you should is that that's personel stuff right there were no superintendents who applied okay take you at your word Mr bone there may have been one or correct myself uh going back and think there may have been one or two there may have been one or two uh and the board uh interviewed and made their decision okay okay uh I'll leave it at that I think the board knows uh what I'm talking about thank you very much I need to amend the record um Mrs bazo has been a fantastic superintendent she has all the qualifications has everything that needs to be to be a superintendent
047she's LED this District over the last three years tremendously through difficult times making hard decisions this district is in far better footing and far better Direction than it was when she assumed the role so for you to make accusations that you do not know the details about is not really fair to her I said I do like Mrs masso I did not like the way she got her position around about way there was nothing round about it if you remember we went through how many superintendents in how many years yes and in how many months at that point why did Mr qua leave you'd have to ask him that we'd like to know he resigned you just have to go through back everything and see it just it doesn't make Mrs malono look like just
