Board of Education Regular and Organizational Meeting Minutes June 17, 2013 Page 4 comes from state aid. The administration recommended keeping the debt millage of 6.70 mills for the 2013/2014 year, which is the same as the 2012/2013 levy.

Chartwells Contract Renewal for 2013/2014 (Action Item) Mr. Romzek Mr. Romzek presented the recommendation for the extension of the districts contract with Chartwells for the management and operation of the districts food service program for 2013/2014. The district began contracting with Chartwells in 2010/2011. Michigan Department of Education (MDE) rules do not allow districts to enter into multi-year contracts for food service management. Instead, they allow districts to renew their existing one-year agreements up to four times, which requires districts to re-bid these services after that five year period. After the 2013/2014 year, the district would be able to extend the contract one more year before having to re-bid these services for the 2015/2016 year. The district has been very pleased with our partnership with Chartwells. Tracy Hizer, Director, and Kim Sinclair, Executive Chef, have become an integral part of the districts administrative team and their program has been very successful in Rochester. The program has demonstrated increased student participation, improved operating efficiencies, improved menu offerings and quality of food being served, and provided significant additional financial support to the General Fund for indirect costs. Tracy and her supervisor Ann Smith are looking to submit Rochester for a Center for Excellence designation with Chartwells next year, which is a very highly regarded designation on a districts program and only a few Chartwells accounts earn this outstanding designation. A motion was made to approve the Chartwells Contract Renewal for 2013/2014 as presented. Moved by: Mrs. Pierobon Supported by: Mr. Zabat Board discussion and questions included the USDA new food standards, participation number, and an update on the implementation of the ideas generated including new vegetarian options. Vote: 6-0 D. Adopt the 2013-2014 Budget Resolutions (Action Item) Mr. Romzek Mr. Romzek recommended the Board adopt the Budget Resolutions for the districts General Fund, Athletics Fund, Bookstore Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Debt Services Fund, and School Lunch Fund.

MEMORANDUM August 6, 2013 TO: FROM: RE: Dr. Robert Shaner Daniel Romzek, Assistant Superintendent for Business John Stoner, Director of Facility, Operations & Transportation Recommendation for Approval of Resolution in Support of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Initiatives at Rochester Community Schools
Several years ago, the district developed and implemented a comprehensive Storm Water Pollution Prevention Initiative (SWPPI) Plan, as required by state law. This plan contains policies and procedures for control and management of storm water runoff and along with long-term operation and maintenance of structural storm sewer systems located at the school districts sites. The district recently went through an audit of its plan by representatives from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. During the course of this audit, RCS was alerted that the district is required to have a resolution approved by the Board of Education in support of efforts in preventing pollution related to storm water drainage. We have prepared the attached recommended resolution for this program. This resolution simply affirms the districts statutory requirements for implementation of its plan and affirms that the district will continue enforcement and instruction efforts to help minimize storm water pollution on school sites. Based on this information, we recommend THAT the Board of Education approves the resolution in support of the district s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Initiatives, as presented. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Rochester Community Schools Board of Education Resolution in Support of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Initiatives

The Board hereby approves and instructs the district Superintendent to enforce the above listed policies and procedures for control of storm water runoff and long-term operation and maintenance of structural controls as part of the overall Rochester Community Schools Storm Water Management Program.
