Award of Contract for Level I Developer Fee Justification Study
Districts must prepare a Developer Fee Justification Study to substantiate the continued
collection of the Level 1 fees and to charge the new higher rates. Ralph Pachter
recommended Jack Schreder and Associates to prepare a Developer Fee Justification Study.
This consultant successfully prepared Study for the District in the past, has not increased the
fee, and is recognized as a leading firm in this particular field.
On a motion by Richard Mayer, seconded by Valerie Kushnerov, the Board of Trustees voted
4 to 0, with Dean Nevins absent, to award a contract to Jack Schreder an Associates to
prepare a Developer Fee Justification Study for the fee of $4,250 plus other minor expenses, if
needed, as outlined in the proposal.
5D. School Participation in the Title I Program
Elizabeth DeVita brought this item to the Board and is requesting the addition of a third
school, La Patera, to the District’s Title I Program beginning with the 2012-13 school year.
Currently, El Camino and Isla Vista are Title I participants. There has been an increase in
the percentage of low-income students enrolled at El Camino and La Patera and the
percentage at Isla Vista has decreased slightly. All three schools exceed the 60% threshold
and are eligible for participation in the Title I Program during the 2012-2013 school year.
On a motion by Richard Mayer, seconded by Pam Kinsley, the Board of Trustees voted 4 to 0,
with Dean Nevins absent, to approve the addition of La Patera Elementary School to the list
of participating Title I schools beginning in the 2012-2013 school year.

Request for Proposal (RFP) for Leasing and Maintenance of New Copiers
Board Brief
The District’s five-year lease of 23 copier/printers is expiring on June 30, 2012. Based on
the information below I recommend that the Board of Trustees authorize the issuance of a
Request for Proposal (RFP) to facilitate leasing and maintenance of new copiers
beginning July 1, 2012 for a five-year term.
The District has several options regarding copiers. At the expiration of the current lease
term, June 30, 2012, the District could purchase the current machines for $1 each. This
option would eliminate the approximate $60,000 per year lease cost, and we could
contract with a vendor for a per copy maintenance charge. This would likely lead to a
higher per copy charge and ultimately could present problems as maintaining older
machines yields higher down times and scarcity of parts. The District could purchase the
machines, contract for maintenance year-to-year and replace them when the copiers are
causing significant usage problems. Or, as is stated above, issue an RFP for new copiers
for a five-year term effective July 1, 2012. The advantage to new copiers is more
availability for staff due to fewer repairs, generally better copy quality, and improved
speed and features.
Considerations
As a result of intense competition, copiers have now become essentially commodities,
with most manufacturers building similar machines. The state of the art features that
might be crucial selling points to some users in the private sector, or higher education,
will not be utilized by our staff. Given the uniformity of copiers, the emphasis then falls
on speed, ease of use, reliability, network capability, and local service in selecting a
vendor.
The attached draft RFP outlines the basic selection criteria, the timeline and term of the
contract. It is required that any proposal accesses pricing from an in-force piggyback bid
with another California school district. This process is a legal way of selecting a vendor
by using multiple criteria without the stringent restrictions of choosing the lowest bidder.
We believe this process has worked well over the last 15 years, and is again in the best
interest of the District.
Information supplied recently by several vendors indicates that prices have fallen, so if
we replace our five-year old machines with new ones this summer, our annual cost will
be lower, possibly saving more than 5%.
5A
Conclusion and Recommendation
It is tempting to think about keeping the current copiers, save the lease cost and take the
risk that they will hold up well for the next several years. However, I believe that if we
can add new machines, for less money with additional capability then we have met the
litmus test for this decision. I recommend that the Board of Trustees authorize the
attached RFP for new copiers to be leased for the next five years beginning July 1, 2012.

Goleta, CA 93118-1000
Request for Proposal (RFP) for Lease of New Copiers
A. Scope of Work
The Goleta Union School District (the District) is requesting proposals for a contractor to
furnish the labor, equipment, materials, supplies and transportation to fulfill the requirements for
the lease of twenty-three (23) new copiers, including one (1) new color copier, as further
delineated in the attached Technical Specifications.
B. Period of Performance
The vendor awarded the contract shall commence work on July 1, 2012, and shall perform the
work for a period of sixty (60) months. The period of performance shall end on June 30, 2017.
C. Submitting a Proposal
The District requires that proposals contain the following:
1. A piggyback bid, currently in force for California school districts, for leasing the
specified copiers must be provided. A fixed-cost per copy for maintenance, service and
supplies over the term of lease. Cost will include delivery, setup, training and all supplies
except paper.
2. Copiers (collectively) must be able to meet the District production of about 11,500,000
copies annually. Volume is estimated to stay in the range of 10 – 12 million copies
annually during the contract period.
3. Information on lease finance options, including manufacturer-supported and third-party
financing, must be provided.
4. Copiers must meet the minimum Technical Specifications (see attached), and brochures
or descriptions of applicable copiers and features must be provided.
5. Evidence of ability to provide excellent quality periodic maintenance, service and
supplies from the local Goleta – Santa Barbara area. Include a general profile of service
personnel, and their experience available from this facility.
6. Commitment to provide same-day response to copier service requests. Phone call or
technician visit are acceptable.
7. References, if applicable, from other local (Santa Barbara County) entities currently
under contract with vendor.
5A
8. Other vendor or manufacturer programs and features that should be considered in
evaluating the proposal. Warranty, training, industry awards, reliability testimonials, and
ability to upgrade are examples of these other factors.
9. Proposals may be submitted beginning 8:00 a.m. March 23, 2012 and received no later
than 5:00 p.m. on April 20, 2012. Documents should be delivered, or mailed to the Fiscal
Services Department of the Goleta Union School District at 401 N. Fairview Ave.,
Goleta, CA 93117.
D. Selection Criteria
The District will use a weighted-value set of criteria in considering proposals in order to rank the
top three vendors that will best suit the needs of the District. Although, cost is a significant
component of the selection criteria, other factors will be considered in making a recommendation
to the Board of Trustees.
The ability to access pricing through piggyback bids ensures that, in addition to pricing, service,
reliability and local vendor resources will be large factors in the selection process. The
approximate percentage maximum values possible for each of these criteria are indicated below.
1. 25% – Compliance with or exceeding Technical Specifications, and other factors.
District Technician must be able to verify by previewing machines. Other factors that will
be considered include: copier features, durability/reliability, and references.
2. 50% - Pricing, including piggyback bids, lease finance terms or options, and applicable
taxes.
3. 25% – Excellent quality service from a local facility (defined as the Goleta – Santa
Barbara area) preferably dedicated for that purpose, not merely a drop point for parts.
Note: The District reserves the right to use subjective values in the final recommendation to the
Board of Trustees from the top three proposals. The contract will be awarded to the bidder
based on the combination of cost, equipment, reliability, service, references and other factors
that will best serve the interest of the District.
E. Timeline
The District will evaluate proposals based on criteria explained above. A recommendation will
then be made by the staff to the Board of Trustees to award the contract to one bidder. The
timeline for awarding a contract includes the following:
1. Proposals due in to District by 5:00 p.m. April 20, 2012.
2. District will evaluate proposals and makes a progress report to the Board of Trustees on
May 4, 2012.
3. Final staff recommendation to award the contract will be made to the Board on May 18,
2012.
4. Finalization and signature of contract by June 15, 2012.
5. Installation of copiers in District facilities beginning July 1, 2012.

First Hearing of Updates to Administrative Regulation 4117.11/4317.11—
Preretirement Part-Time Employment
Mandated regulation revised to clarify that, if a district allows certificated employees
who are members of the defined benefit program of the California State Teacher’s
Retirement System to reduce their workload to part time while continuing to receive the
same service credit and other benefits as full-time employees, it must afford equal
treatment to all certificated employees who meet the eligibility requirements. Regulation
also adds requirement for the district and/or employee to make the payment or
contribution necessary for the employee to retain a benefit in the same manner as if the
employee were employed full time.
Recommendation:
The Board of Trustees approve the First Hearing of Updates to Administrative Regulation
4117.11/4317.11—Preretirement Part-Time Employment as presented.

First Hearing of Updates to Administrative Regulation 4217.3—Layoff/Rehire
Updated policy clarifies that laid-off classified employees’ reemployment rights must be
enforced in order of seniority rather than reverse order of layoff. Regulation also reflects
new court decision, which held that the permanent status of a laid-off classified employee
is not retained when the employee is reemployed in a different class.
Recommendation:
The Board of Trustees approve the First Hearing of Updates to Administrative Regulation
4217.3—Layoff/Rehire as presented.
5C
Classified Personnel
AR 4217.3(a)
LAYOFF/REHIRE
Classified employees shall be subject to layoff for lack of work or lack of funds. (Education
Code 45114, 45308)
A classified employee shall not be laid off if a short-term employee who is employed for
more than 45 days is retained to render a service that the classified employee is qualified to
render. (Education Code 45117)
(cf. 4121 - Temporary/Substitute Personnel)
Order of Layoff Within a Classification/Determination of Seniority
The order of layoff within the class shall be determined by length of service. (Education
Code 45114, 45308)
Within each class, the order of layoff shall be determined by length of service. (Education
Code 45114, 45308)
Length of service shall be determined by the date of hire. The employee who has been
employed the shortest time by the district shall be laid off first.
For an employee in a "restricted position" under Education Code 45105 or 45259, the
original date of employment in the restricted position shall be used to determine his/her
length of service, provided he/she has completed nine months of satisfactory service and
has successfully passed the qualifying examination required for service in the class.
(cf. 4200 - Classified Personnel)
Length of service credit shall be granted for military leave of absence, including voluntary or
and involuntary active duty during a period of national emergency or war as a member of the
Military Reserve or the National Guard. (Education Code 45297, 45308)
(cf. 4161.5/4261.5/4361.5 - Military Leave)
Length of service credit may be granted for time spent on unpaid illness or maternity leave,
unpaid family care leave, or unpaid industrial accident leave. Length of service credit shall
not be granted for other types of unpaid leaves. (Education Code 45308, 45114)
(cf. 4161.8/4261.8/4361.8 - Family Care and Medical Leave)
(cf. 4261.1 - Personal Illness/Injury Leave)
(cf. 4261.11 - Industrial Accident/Illness Leave)
Persons employed under Education Code Section 45105(b) or 45259 in “restricted” positions
do not acquire permanent status under Education Code 45113 or 45301 and do not acquire
seniority credits for the purpose of layoff for lack of work or lack of funds. However, after
5C
AR 4217.3(b)
LAYOFF/REHIRE (continued)
completing six months of satisfactory service, persons hired into these positions shall be
given the opportunity to take qualifying examinations that are required for all other persons
serving in the same class in the classified service. If they successfully complete the
examination, they shall be entitled to the full rights, benefits and burdens of regular classified
employees, and his/her service for layoff purposes shall be counted from the original date of
employment in the “restricted” position. (Education Code 45105)
A classified employee shall not be laid off if a short-term employee is retained to render a
service that the classified employee is qualified to render. (Education Code 45117)
(cf. 4121 - Temporary/Substitute Personnel)
Notice of Layoff
Classified employees subject to layoff because of lack of work in the event of a bona fide
reduction or elimination of service being performed shall receive notice of the layoff 45 days
before the effective date. They shall be informed of their displacement rights, if any, and
their reemployment rights. (Education Code 45117)
In cases where positions in specially funded programs expire at the end of any school year,
classified employees subject to layoff for lack of funds shall receive written notice on or
before April 29. The notice shall inform them of the layoff effective at the end of the school
year, their displacement rights, if any, and reemployment rights. If the termination date of
the specially funded program is other than June 30, the notice shall be given at least 45 days
before the effective date of the layoff. (Education Code 45117)
Whenever a classified employee is to be laid off for lack of work or lack of funds, notice
shall be given to the employee, informing him/her of his/her displacement rights, if any,
and reemployment right. The notice shall be given: (Education Code 45117)
1.
At least 45 days prior to the effective date of the layoff, if the layoff is for lack of
work resulting from a bona fide reduction or elimination of service being
performed.
2.
In writing, no later than April 29, if the layoff is for lack of funds due to the
expiration of a specially funded program at the end of any school year. However, if
the termination date of the specially funded program is other than June 30, the
employee shall be given notice at least 45 days from the effective date of the layoff.
The district is not bound to provide a 45 days’ notice in the event of an actual and existing
financial inability to pay the salaries of classified employees or if the layoff is due to a lack
of work resulting from conditions not foreseeable or preventable by the district. (Education
Code 45117)
5C
AR 4217.3(c)
The district also is not bound to provide a 45 days’ notice to any person hired as a short-term
employee for a period not exceeding 45 days. (Education Code 45117)
\
Reemployment Eligibility
Classified employees laid off because of lack of work or lack of funds are eligible for
reemployment within for a period of 39 months and shall be reemployed in preference to
new applicants. Reemployment shall be in order of seniority. Persons so laid off also have
the right to apply and establish their qualification for vacant promotional positions within the
district during the 39-month period. When an employee is reemployed in a class that is
different from the one in which he/she had permanent status, the employee shall be
required to serve the probationary period for the new position. (Education Code 45114,
45298, 45308)
Employees who take voluntary demotions or voluntary reductions in assigned time in lieu of
layoff, reclassification or reassignment shall retain eligibility to be considered for
reemployment in a position of the previously held class or positions with increased assigned
time, provided that the same tests of fitness under which they qualified for appointment to the
class are still applicable. The length of this additional period of time shall be determined by
the Governing Board on a class-by-class basis and shall not exceed 24 months. (Education
Code 45114, 45298)
When a vacancy occurs, the district shall give the employee with the most seniority an
opportunity to accept or reject the position, by notifying him/her of the vacancy at his/her
last known address by the fastest means available. The employee shall advise the district of
his/her decision no later than 5 calendar days following notification. No response within
the time given is considered a declination of the position. If the employee accepts, he/she
shall report to work no later than two calendar weeks from the vacancy notification date or
on a later date specified by the district.
In order to be reemployed, an employee must be capable of performing the essential duties
of the job. When an otherwise eligible employee is unable to perform the essential duties
of the job, he/she shall be kept on the reemployment list until another opportunity becomes
available or the period of reemployment eligibility expires, whichever occurs first.
(cf. 4032 - Reasonable Accommodation)
Upon rejecting two three offers of reemployment, the employee’s name will shall be
removed from the reemployment list and he/she will forfeit all reemployment rights to which
he/she would otherwise be entitled.
5C
AR 4217.3(d)
When an employee is notified of a vacancy and fails to respond or report to work within time
limits specified by district procedures, his/her name will be removed from the reemployment
list and he/she will forfeit all reemployment rights to which he/she would otherwise be
entitled shall be forfeited.
Reemployment Procedures
Reemployment shall be in reverse order of layoff. (Education Code 45114, 45298, 45308)
In order to be reinstated, an employee must be fully capable of performing the normal and
customary duties of the job. Employees whose physical condition is such that they cannot be
reinstated at the time called for reemployment will be kept on the reemployment list until
physically capable of returning to work or for a period not to exceed 39 calendar months.
(cf. 4032 - Reasonable Accommodation)
When a vacancy occurs, the senior employee who has held prior permanency in the position
shall be so notified by certified U.S. mail at his/her last known address and given the
opportunity to accept or reject appointment into the vacant position. The employee shall
advise the district of his/her decision no later than 10 calendar days following notification. If
the employee accepts, he/she shall report to work no later than two calendar weeks from the
vacancy notification date or on a later date specified by the district.
Reinstatement of Benefits
When a laid-off employee is reemployed, all accumulated sick leave credit shall be restored.
A laid-off permanent employee shall be reemployed with all rights and benefits accorded to
him/her at the time of layoff. A laid-off probationary employee shall be reemployed as a
probationary employee, and the time served toward the completion of the required
probationary period shall be counted. He/she shall also be reemployed with all rights and
benefits accorded to him/her at the time of layoff.
A laid-off employee, when reemployed, shall be placed on the salary step held at the time of
layoff. An employee who was bumped into a lower class shall, when reinstated to the
previous class, be placed on the salary step to which he/she would have progressed had
he/she remained there. An adjusted anniversary date shall be established for step increment
purposes so as to reflect the actual amount of time served in the district.

AR 4217.3(e)
Voluntary Demotion or Voluntary Reduction of Hours
Classified employees who take voluntary demotions or voluntary reductions in assigned time
in lieu of layoff, or in order to remain in their present position rather than be reclassified or
reassigned, shall be granted the same rights as employees who are persons laid off. In
addition, such employees shall retain eligibility to be considered for reemployment in their
previously held class or position with increased assigned time, for an additional period of
time up to 24 months as determined by the Governing Board on a class-by-class basis,
provided that the same test of fitness under which they qualified for appointment to that
class shall still apply. (Education Code 45114, 45298)
Employees who take voluntary demotions or voluntary reductions in assigned time in lieu of
layoff shall have the option of returning to a position in their former class or to positions with
increased assigned time as vacancies become available, and without limitation of time. If
there is a valid reemployment list they shall be ranked on that list in accordance with their
proper seniority. (Education Code 45114, 45298)
