Title: Endowed Chair Educator

Consideration of Endowed Chair Educator

Superintendent’s Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends the Board of Trustees approve the selection of Stephanie Fisher as the Glenn Masterson Endowed Chair Educator. Background/Impact Information: Waste Management has pledged $450,000 to the Humble ISD Education Foundation to establish the Glenn Masterson Endowed Chairs for Elementary Science Education. The donation is funding Science Endowed Chair Researcher and Science Endowed Chair Educator positions to serve District elementary schools. Particular focus is on the four elementary campuses in close proximity to the Atascocita Landfill - River Pines, Park Lakes, Northbelt and Fall Creek Elementary Schools. The primary role of the Endowed Chair positions is to provide hands-on, researched-based learning experiences in three major instructional areas - earth, physical and life science. One component of the work being done with selected campuses will be employing Stephanie Fisher part-time as the Endowed Chair Educator. Mrs. Fisher brings a wealth of science expertise as evidenced by her past work within the District as a classroom teacher, science lab teacher and elementary science instructional coach. Mrs. Fisher will work directly with campuses to provide best practice, job-embedded professional development to ensure campus science programs are enhanced and sustained. In addition, she will facilitate community science nights and launch outdoor classrooms. In her role as the Glenn Masterson Endowed Chair Educator, Stephanie Fisher will serve both Waste Management and Humble ISD as an advocate for hands-on learning, as well as environmental awareness for both staff and students.

Title: Stambush Staffing Agency

Consideration of Stambush Staffing Agency

Superintendent’s Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Trustees approve the selection of Stambush Staffing Agency to provide services in the area of occupational therapy. Background/Impact Information: Occupational therapy services are determined through the ARD Committee process. We continue to see an increase in the need for these services, but currently do not have staff in place to provide them due to unfilled occupational therapist positions. The contract with Stambush Staffing Agency will provide direct and consultative related services for students, resulting in less compensatory time owed.

Title: Policy Update 86

Consideration of Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Policy Update 86

Superintendent’s Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Trustees adopt the revisions proposed in TASB Update 86 to local policies CFD, CLB, DGBA, EIE, EIF, FDD, FDE, FEA, FEC, FFAD, and FOC Exhibit.. Background/Impact Information: The District subscribes to a service provided by TASB to propose and assist with management of Board policies. This Localized Policy Manual Update 86 includes two types of policies: legal and local policies. There are a number of (LEGAL) policies that are being amended to reflect changes or clarifications to the applicable laws. These changes to (LEGAL) policies do not require Board action since they reflect laws already in effect. There are also (LOCAL) policies in this Update, which do require Board action, and are being brought to the Board at this time for potential action. The local policies are board policies that implement the legal policies based upon the District's specific needs. TASB revisions to local policies in Update #86 align local practice with recent changes in legal policy or provide clarification to existing policy. The (LOCAL) policies in Update #86 are described in detail in the Vantage Points, Explanatory Notes, and other materials found in the attachments. The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Trustees adopt the revisions proposed in TASB Update 86 to local policies CFD, CLB, DGBA, EIE, EIF, FDD, FDE, FEA, FEC, FFAD and FOC Exhibit. Please note that the Administration is currently reviewing TASB's proposed revisions to local policy CV for additional administrative-suggested revisions and will be brought to the Board for review and action at a later time. Policy EIA was recently revised by this Board and does not require any action at this time.

Title: Tax Refunds

Consideration of Petitions for Refunds in Excess of $500

Superintendent’s Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Trustees approve the petitions for tax refunds. Background/Impact Information: The Texas Property Tax Code, Section 31.11(c) states “If a taxpayer applies to the tax collector of a taxing unit for a refund of an overpayment or erroneous payment of taxes and the auditor for the unit determines that the payment was erroneous or excessive, the tax collector shall refund the amount of the excessive or erroneous payment from available current tax collections or from funds appropriated by the unit for making refunds. However, the collector may not make the refund unless: (1) in the case of a collector who collects taxes for one taxing unit, the governing body of the taxing unit also determines that the payment was erroneous or excessive and approves the refund if the amount of the refund exceeds:…(B) $500 for a refund to be paid by any other taxing unit;…An application for a refund must be made within three years after the date of the payment or the taxpayer waives the right to the refund.” Detailed information and rationale for each correction or refund has been documented in the attachment. If the Board approves this consideration, Humble ISD will be in compliance with the Texas Property Tax Code. If the Board does not approve this consideration, the District will not be in compliance. If approved, the total effect of the refund(s) will result in a reduction of total collections received of $10,618.93. Overpayments are recorded as a liability on the general ledger upon receipt and, therefore, do not cause a decrease in recorded revenue when refunded.

Title: Popular Annual Financial Report

Report on Popular Annual Financial Report

Background/Impact Information: The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) established the Popular Annual Financial Reporting Awards Program (PAFR Program) in 1991 to encourage and assist state and local governments to produce high quality reports designed to be accessible and easily understandable by interested parties without a background in public finance. Reports submitted to the PAFR Program are reviewed by selected members of the GFOA professional staff and by outside reviewers with experience in governmental accounting and financial reporting. The PAFR incorporates general and financial information from the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) along with statistics from the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) in a format that is easy to read and interpret. The District will submit a PAFR for review by GFOA for the first time. The report is required to be submitted by December 31, 2009. The attached draft will be completed upon release of the 2009 AEIS Report by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). This information has been provided for your review. Fiscal Impact Statement: Fees for submission of the PAFR to the GFOA PAFR Program will be funded from the Financial Services Budget within the General Operating Fund. Budgetary Codes: Cost : $225

Investment Report - Glossary

November 30, 2009

BA Banker's Acceptances are short-term, noninterest-bearing notes sold at a discount and

redeemed by the accepting banks at maturity for face value. Banker's acceptances

generally are created based on a letter of credit issued in a foreign trade transaction.

Banker's acceptances are essentially checks. They represent a bank's promise and

ability to pay the face or principal amount on the banker's acceptance on the stipulated

maturity date. Maturities for banker's acceptances are generally less than three months.

Any banker's acceptance purchased by a public entity must have a stated maturity

of 270 days or less, must be accepted by a bank organized and existing under federal

law, and the short-term obligations of the bank must be rated not less than A1/P1.

Similar to a treasury bill, a banker's acceptance typically does not have a coupon, is

issued at a discount, and matures at par (face) value.

CP Commercial Paper, an unsecured promissory note issued by a corporation with a fixed

maturity of no more than 270 days. Most commercial paper is non-interest bearing and

sold at a discount from par.

FFCB Federal Farm Credit Bank System provides credit and related services to farmers,

ranchers, producers and harvesters of aquatic products, farm related businesses,

agricultural cooperatives and rural utilities. FFCB System institutions are federally

chartered under the Farm Credit Act of 1971 and are subject to regulation by a federal

agency, the Farm Credit Administration.

FHLB Federal Home Loan Bank System, established in 1932, includes twelve Federal Home Loan

Banks and their member institutions. The Federal Home Loan Banks are instrumentalities

of the United States and operate under the supervision on the Federal Housing Finance

Board.

FHLMC Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) is a publicly held government

sponsored enterprise created pursuant to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation

GIC A Guaranteed Investment Contract is a fixed-rate, fixed-maturity contract that is similar

to a bond. However, unlike a bond, a GIC is always valued at par (face) value. This

occurs because the company issuing the GIC usually is an insurance company that

guarantees the investment by agreeing to pay the difference between the market value

and the book value for the issue if the investor decides to sell it. A guaranteed investment

contract may be structured in a manner similar to a flexible repurchase agreement,

whereby the investor is able to draw down the balance upon written request throughout

the life of the contract.

MARKET Market Value is the current value of a security, which is determined by multiplying its

VALUE par (face) value by the current market price. The unrealized gain or loss on a security

can be calculated by subtracting the book value from the market value.

PURCHASE The date of the initial purchase / investment.

DATE

MATURITY The date when the principal amount of a security or debt becomes due and payable.

MMMF Money Market Mutual Funds are a specific type of mutual fund that invests only

in money market instruments (i.e., short-term debt instruments such as treasury

bills, commercial paper, banker's acceptances, repurchase agreements, and

federal funds) as defined and registered with the Securities and Exchange

Commission. Money market mutual funds are regulated by the Investment

Company Act of 1940 as 2a-7 funds. They strive to maintain a $1 net asset

value (NAV) for participants. There are three types of money market mutual

funds: treasury, governmental and prime. Money market mutual funds are

designed to provide both safety and liquidity.

REPO A Repurchase Agreement is an investment agreement involving the purchase

of a security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase that security at a

specified price and date. Repurchase agreements may be used to earn income

on idle cash at or near the federal funds market rate. A holder of securities sells

them to an investor with a repurchase agreement. The buyer is in effect lending

the seller money for the period of the agreement. The terms of the repurchase

agreement are structured to compensate the buyer. Dealers often use repurchase

agreements to finance their positions. The exception occurs when the Fed is

said to be doing repurchase agreements, in this instance it is lending money, i.e.,

increasing bank reserves. Repurchase agreements should always be governed

by an executed PSA Master Repurchase Agreement between the investor and

the dealer to reduce collateral risk.

SLMA Student Loan Marketing Association ( Sallie Mae) is a stockholder-owned corporation

established by an Act of Congress in 1972. Sallie Mae is the largest source of financing

and servicing for education loans in the U.S.

SLGS State and Local Government Series securities are generally used in escrow accounts

for advanced refund of bond issues and for certain other funds. Yield is restricted by

the Internal Revenue Service's arbitrage regulations. SLGS are non-marketable

securities issued by the U.S. Treasury directly to the issuer as a tool to manage

yield-restricted bond proceeds. The interest rate on SLGS is selected by the

purchaser (e.g., school district) based upon a maximum rate scale published daily

by the U.S. Treasury. This allows the purchaser to structure an overall rate of return

on the escrow that is less than or equal to the yield on the bond issue so that there is

no violation of arbitrage restrictions. The most frequent use of SLGS is in advance

refunding transactions in which the yield on the escrow being created to defease old

bonds must not be greater than the yield on the refunding bonds sold to fund the

escrow. By using SLGS, the bond issuer can structure an optimal structure in an

escrow that yields less than the bond yield.

Title: CM@Risk Selection for HHS Renovations: Phase II Project

Consideration of Construction Manager at Risk Selection for HHS Renovations: Phase II Project Superintendent’s Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Trustees approve the selection of Drymalla Construction Company to provide services for the construction related to the Humble High School Renovations: Phase II Project. Background/Impact Information: HHS Renovations: Phase II project will include areas of HHS not previously addressed within the scope of HHS Renovations: Phase I. These areas include the renovation of the natatorium and associated support spaces; the renovation of the auditorium including sound, lighting, and associated fine arts spaces; the conversion of several existing "flex" spaces into computer labs; underground sewer piping; and providing a "unified" exterior finish on the eastern walls of the existing structure. In addition to these major renovations other identified smaller projects relating to security, mechanical, structural, electrical, waterproofing and plumbing will also be included in the scope of work. On October 26, 2009 sealed proposals were received from eleven (11) general contractors answering a Request for Competitive Sealed Proposal (RCSP) for the Renovations Phase II-HHS project. All 11 proposals were opened and read publicly. From those general contractors, a selection committee including HISD Construction and Purchasing reviewed all proposals based on the selection criteria published with the CSP. Selection criteria included pre-construction fees, construction management fees, utility survey costs, general conditions fees, experience in the construction of education facilities, quality and experience of proposed project personnel, previous experience with Humble ISD projects, and experience as a Construction Manager at Risk in Texas. The review committee determined that Drymalla Construction Company represented the best value to the District scoring highest on the selection criteria matrix. Current market conditions in the construction industry have created an extremely competitive environment among contractors which is resulting in lower costs to the District than were seen in previous projects.

The Board Facilities and Planning subcommittee reviewed the bid tabulations and approved the administration's recommendation of Drymalla Construction Company for HHS Renovations: Phase II on November 17, 2009. The total construction cost for this project is estimated to be $3,500,000. Pfluger and Associates, Humble ISD and Drymalla Construction Company will work collaboratively to arrive at a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). At that time, the proposed price will be presented to the Board for approval. By approving the Superintendent's recommendation, the Board authorizes the Superintendent to take any and all steps necessary to negotiate and execute a contract for services, including amendments, with the vendor outlined in this item in the best interest of the District and based upon currently available bond funds. Fiscal Impact Statement: Funding for architect fees will be provided from Phase 1 of the 2008 Bond Program. Budgetary Codes: Cost :
