7.A. Approve selection of KKe as architectural firm for future building project.
Presenter:
Dr. Rajanen
Description:
Background:
The School Board Facilities Committee has completed a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to identify an architectural firm to work with the District in analysis and planning for a new facility. The RFP utilized qualification based procurement procedures for the evaluation and selection of the design professionals for this project. The Facilities Committee has completed screening, interviews, and site visits of the applications, in order to consider the capabilities, design creativity, design responsiveness, design quality, design/construction integration effectiveness, and building quality of interested architectural firms that submitted a proposal for this project. The Facilities Committee has identified KKe as the architectural firm to be used for this project. Action: The administration and School Board Facilities Committee recommends a letter of intent be sent to the KKe architectural firm, identifying the firm as the designated architect for a future building project. The Board further authorizes the administration to begin development of a contract to identify the fees and scope of services. |

7.D. Approve resolution establishing an administrative group, with collective terms & conditions, and a District commitment to compliance with Pay Equity standards for these employees.
Presenter:
Dr. Rajanen
Description:
Background: The District has 10 employees who are considered supervisory or administrative. They work in positions with responsibility for overall administration of staff, budget, and program/policy development. While their contracts have similarities, they are not consistently compensated, nor has there been a standard of hiring, determination of compensation or benefits, or consistent evaluation of performance.
This inconsistency has created an issue for the district in its effort to be compliant with Pay Equity standards, or comparable worth, as set it M.S. 471.991 - 471.999. This practice has not been intentionally perpetuated, but is likely simply the result of rapid growth in district student population and consequently, personnel. The School Board Personnel Committee and Superintendent have discussed the creation of a collective agreement and a process for hiring decisions which will eliminate disparate treatment of staff. The treatment of these employees as a group does not change their status as at-will employees, but rather eliminates any claim of discriminatory treatment based on gender. Therefore, the Superintendent and the School Board Personnel Committee recommend the following: 1) The establishment of a salary schedule for unaffiliated positions. 2) Salary schedule to be consistent with the Pay Equity ratings per position 3) Consistent terms & conditions of employment 4) Alignment of the term of this agreement to coincide with all other employee group negotiations, in order to support pattern bargaining and equitable treatment of all groups. 5) Establishment of a written practice regarding pay equity rating to be applied for all new and revised positions, including an employee reconsideration or appeal process. A collective terms & conditions will be brought to the June Board meeting. ROLL CALL VOTE |
