BACKGROUND:
On October 21, 2014, the City of Milpitas and the District entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the District to purchase 6.7 acres of City owned property on McCandless Drive. The agreement was amended on October 6, 2015 as Amendment #1 formalized a one year extension of the close of escrow date to October 21, 2016.
Staff from the City and the District drafted Amendment #2, it was presented and discussed in a meeting at the City of Milpitas – Milpitas Unified School District Joint Communications Committee on August 9, 2016. The essence of Amendment #2 is summarized as follows:
(1) It introduces a revised payment plan to allow for the purchase price per acre (remaining unchanged at $3,100,000/acre) to be paid in two installments over a 12 month term (50% at the close of Escrow and 50% 12 months thereafter);
(2) It includes the requirement of a zero-interest promissory note between the District and the City secured by a secured deed of trust on the underlying subject property;
(3) It adjusts the purchase price to the final map acceptance of 6.668 acres, or a value of $20,670,800; and
(4) It allows for the reimbursement to the District, out of sales proceeds, for costs incurred on site remediation work performed subject to the City review of supporting cost documentation.
|
|
Adopt Resolution 2017.9 approving Amendment # 2 to the Purchase and Sale Agreement between the City of Milpitas and the District.
|
The anticipated proceeds of the sale, including both installments, will amount to $20,670,000 less remediation costs reimbursements to the District and resulting escrow fees.

Motion:_____ Second: _____ Action: _____ |
BACKGROUND:
Milpitas Unified School District (MUSD) and HealthTrust have an interest in providing family education and resource services to our students and families residing in the areas of Rose, Randall and the District Office. This geographical area is home to our families in greatest need of support as it is also our residential area with the lowest median income. Per Keith Morales, HealthTrust Program Manager, 70% of our families living in this area will qualify for the services provided at our new Family Resource Center. The attached MOU outlines the agreement between HealthTrust and the District; HealthTrust will provide services to our families living in this area and the District will provide a portable to house the Family Resource Center at Randall Elementary School. This is an in-kind exchange in which the District provides and maintains the facilities and HealthTrust maintains services and program oversight: Services provided: - Developmental Screenings
- Referrals to preventative and remedial services
- Evidence-based parent education (i.e. Triple P, SEEDS, Early Literacy, 24/7 Dads)
- Oral health
- Health and nutrition programs
- Engagement activities and programs designed for parent and child learning
The HealthTrust will manage programs throughout the school day and into the evenings, services to be rendered are valued at approximately $360K per year. The one time cost of a portable, located along Park Victoria in the southwest area of the Randall campus, is approximately $281K plus monthly PG&E expenses. Additionally, we received a $35K donation for start-up costs from the Summer Hill Apartment Communities, which will be used for FRC furniture, computers, and supplies.
Typically 300+ parents with children ages birth to 5 years are served by a HealthTrust Family Resource Center. Recent data collected at the Race St. and Burbank HealthTrust Family Resource Center sites indicate improved outcomes for children who have been supported by their services. The Sunnyhills FRC has also been successful, but it is not located in an area that our families living in the Rose, Randall, District Office triangle can easily access on foot. We are excited to have this additional site close to our families most in need of the services to be provided.
|
|
Approve the Memorandum of Understanding between MUSD and HealthTrust for a Family Resource Center to be located at Randall Elementary School. The FRC will provide services to all families in Milpitas, with the targeted area being those neighborhoods between Rose, Randall, and Calaveras Hills High School.

BACKGROUND:
On January 5, 2015, the District distributed a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking a Builder for the new elementary school. Six firms responded. A District committee interviewed the top three firms (Blach, Kitchell and McCarthy) on February 26, 2015 and selected Blach Construction Company. In April 2015, the Board hired Blach Construction to perform pre-construction planning for the new school. Since the District is now moving forward to construct the new school with modular buildings with a traditional multiple prime delivery method, the District no longer needs a builder in the process. Staff went back to the 2012 Measure E Bond pool of approved construction managers for the selection of a construction management firm. Staff recommends Blach as the construction management firm due to their familiarity with the McCandless site and their excellent performance in the current Bond program. Staff obtained a proposal from Blach Construction. Their services include:
- Cost Estimate Reviews
- Design Reviews
- Bidding Management
- PSA process management
- Construction Supervision
- Project Close out

Approve Blach Construction contract for construction management services on the McCandless Elementary project.

BACKGROUND: During the 2015-2016 Negotiations between MUSD and CSEA Chapter 281 a side letter (Appendix E) agreement was made in the collective bargaining agreement of 2015-2018 to conduct a pilot three-year Re-classification and Compensation Study program. The study began in December 2015, to review three job classifications including clerical, health clerks, and technology services. The review of Technology Services was later moved to the 2016-2017 cycle. The classification review phase included staff surveys, job shadowing, interviewing, and analysis of work being performed compared to the current job descriptions, and reviewing the language in multiple job descriptions. The following revised job descriptions and the one new job description for the District Office Administrative Secretary are direct results of the findings from this study. This study was presented to the Board of Education on June 28, 2016 and after review by the Superintendent and Executive Cabinet the following recommendations have been proposed. Current Name of Job Classification | Recommended Change: | # of Employees this Will Impact: | Budgetary Impact of this Change: | Health Clerk | Change name to Health/Secretary Clerk (keeping the same work year)

BACKGROUND: Project Cornerstone has several programs focused on building the 40 Developmental Assets that children and youth need in order to be resilient and successful in realizing their potential. These programs include staff training on how staff members can create learning environments that are conducive to building students’ developmental assets. There are three parent programs that not only teach parents and community volunteers about how they can be asset builders for our youth, but also how they can be empowered in supporting one another in a strong school and parent partnership. Project Cornerstone staff will provide training and support to our school staff and parents as outlined in the MOU. As this is the initial year for our partnership with Project Cornerstone, the amount is not to exceed $5,000. An evaluation of the impact of the services on family engagement and student assets will determine if this partnership will continue in future years.

BACKGROUND: During the 2015-2016 Negotiations between MUSD and CSEA Chapter 281 a side letter (Appendix E) agreement was made in the collective bargaining agreement of 2015-2018 to conduct a pilot three-year Classification and Compensation Study program. The study began in December 2015, to review three job classifications including clerical, health clerks, and technology services. The review of Technology Services was later moved to the 2016-2017 cycle. The classification review phase included staff surveys, job shadowing, interviewing, and analysis of work being performed compared to the current job descriptions, and reviewing the language in multiple job descriptions. The following new job description is a direct result of the findings from this study regarding the Staff Secretary position that created and maintained the MHS College and Career Center. This study was presented to the Board of Education on June 28, 2016 and after review by the Superintendent and Executive Cabinet the following recommendation is being proposed. The College and Career Center Technician plays a critical role in assisting students, parents, staff and community members with gaining important information and facilitating individual and group college and career planning. This role also provides structures and supports for students, parents and staff members to learn about such things as scholarships, potential careers and the necessary post-secondary education and experience needed for success in those areas. Current Name of Job Classification | Recommended Change: | # of Employees this Will Impact: | Budgetary Impact of this Change: | School Staff Secretary | Change name to College and Career Technician Clerk Change work year to 11 months Change pay range from 14 to 16 | 1 | Change pay range from 14 to 16 is $2,487.00
