In April 1, 2020, and April 8, 2020, the District issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking a general contractor to provide Lease-Leaseback (LLB) construction services for the Pleasant Grove Elementary School Modernization project. In response to the RFQ, seven (7) responsive qualification statements and sealed proposals that would form the basis of negotiations for a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) were received. District staff scored the qualifications and proposals to determine contractors’ ability to deliver the project on time and to assure the best value to the District. Based upon the results, F&H Construction, Inc. was determined to be the general contractor who would provide the best value to the District for the construction of the Pleasant Grove Elementary School Modernization project. On June 9, 2020, the Board authorized Administration to negotiate with F&H Construction, Inc. to determine a GMP and, subsequent to that authorization, F&H Construction, Inc. solicited bids from qualified subcontractors seeking quotes from all trades for the construction of the Pleasant Grove Elementary School Modernization project. Quotes received from subcontractors were reviewed and evaluated by District and F&H Construction, Inc. staff for completeness and to assure the best value to the District. Upon tabulation of subcontractor bids, a total GMP for the project of $17,407,942.00 was determined. Accordingly, District administration seeks authorization to enter into an LLB Agreement with F&H Construction, Inc. to construct the Pleasant Grove Elementary Modernization project for the GMP of $17,407,942.00. |

The Board, acting on behalf of the Elk Grove Unified School District Community Facilities District No. 1, is asked to (1) receive the 2020-2021 Elk Grove Unified School District Community Facilities District Tax Report, (2) receive input from property owners appealing a specific parcel tax, (3) conduct a first reading of Ordinance No. 1, 2020-2021, and (4) continue the item to the regular meeting of August 11, 2020, for adoption. |
Administration has prepared the 2020-2021 Elk Grove Unified School District Community Facilities District Tax Report, which sets the tax rate for each parcel within the District. The rate is based on information on each parcel in the District and tax formulas established by the passage of Measure A on April 28, 1987, and again on March 10, 1998, with amendments. The Tax Report will be used by the County of Sacramento to prepare tax bills and collect tax revenues for the 2020-2021 tax year. The Mello-Roos Act requires that the Board, acting on behalf of the Elk Grove Unified School District Community Facilities District No. 1, adopt the Tax Report as a regular agenda item. The Act requires that the action taken by the Board is in the form of adopting an ordinance. Ordinance No. 1, 2020-2021, when adopted by the Board, allows the Administration to make changes to the Tax Report in response to appeals from taxpayers, or, otherwise, to correct errors in the application of the special tax to particular parcels. The Administration requests that the Board conduct a first reading of Ordinance No. 1, 2020-2021 (Exhibit A). The Board should conduct a final reading and adoption of the Ordinance on August 11, 2020. Public Notices for today’s meeting were placed in the Sacramento Bee and the Elk Grove Citizen on July 10, 2020.
The Financial Plan, adopted on January 26, 1987, allows for the appeal of the tax rate for a parcel. The Board should receive input from the public regarding appeals of a specific tax for a parcel of land only. The actual tax formula cannot be appealed since the formula was established by the electorate when they approved Measure A. All appeals should be directed to the Administration for consideration and the Board should proceed with the adoption of the Tax Report and Ordinance No. 1, 2020-2021 (Exhibit A).
The 2020-2021 Tax Report continues the current and maximum tax rate of $3.82 per month (or $45.84 per year) for “existing” development and $9.82 per month (or $117.84 per year) for “future” development per equivalent taxable unit according to the manner specified in Resolution No. 27, 1986-87. Due to the March 10, 1998, bond election, future development occurring from July 1, 1998, through June 30, 2001, will be assessed at $15.00 per month (or $180.00 per year) per taxable unit and future development occurring from July 1, 2001, forward will be assessed $16.67 per month (or $200.00 per year) per taxable unit.
The attached summary of the Tax Report indicates preliminary tax revenue information. The Tax Report will be delivered to the Sacramento County Auditor's Office no later than August 14, 2020. The Senior Citizen/Disabled Person Tax Reduction period closed on June 30, 2020. Those who did not renew by that date will have their reductions deleted from the tax roll. Therefore, the “Senior Reductions” number is still subject to changes. Any changes will be reflected in the August 11, 2020, Board Item.

The Board is requested to adopt and approve the Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators for 2020-2021 as required by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC). |
The Declaration of Need was placed under Consent Agenda-Action and approved on May 19, 2020. Per the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, it is being re-submitted under Action Items and shall be on future Board Agendas. The district is committed to hiring fully qualified educators to meet the needs of our students. However, on some occasions, we may need to request various types of Emergency or Limited Assignment permits to meet specific needs where we are not able to find teachers who hold the appropriate authorizations. Specific examples are as follows: • All EGUSD teachers are required to hold English Learner certification. When qualified educators relocate from other states where it is not required or are qualified teachers returning to the classroom after a break and were not required to hold it before, the district must assist them in applying for Emergency CLAD permits to cover their service to English Learners until they gain EL certification. • All EGUSD special education teachers are required to hold an authorization to teach students with Autism. When qualified special education teachers do not hold that authorization, the district must assist them in applying for Special Education Limited Assignment Permits, Moderate/Severe until they are able to gain the Autism authorization. • EGUSD currently employs Elementary Resource Teachers in the areas of Computers and Physical Education at our elementary schools. All are credentialed educators for Elementary subjects but some are working to gain specific authorizations in either Computers or Physical Education as required by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing. The district must assist them in applying for Limited Assignment Permits in Computers or Physical Education until the teacher is able to achieve that authorization. • In the 2020/21 school year, EGUSD is implementing the New Generation Science Standards (NGSS) 3 Course Model. Implementation of the new standards will require current Science teachers to obtain additional certification to teach science under this model. The district must assist them in applying for Limited Assignment Permits in additional Science content areas until the teacher is able to achieve the authorizations required by the NGSS standards. The remainder of requests for Emergency/Limited Assignment Permits are to address particular needs that may occur periodically throughout the 2020-21 school year. Therefore, our Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators for 2020-21 includes the following request: Emergency Permits CLAD 50 Resource Specialist 5 Teacher Librarian Services 5 Limited Assignment Permits (Limited Assignment Permits may only be issued to applicants with a valid California teaching credential based on a baccalaureate degree and a professional preparation program including student teaching.)
