PRESENTATION
Stanhope Board of Education (Special Election Project Details) – Mr. Steve Hagemann, Superintendent, came forward to give his presentation regarding the upcoming Stanhope Board of Education Special Election. Mr. Hagemann distributed a handout to the governing body. Mr. Hagemann stated the school has a proposed bond referendum to make significant upgrades and renovations to the facilities. The election is scheduled for December 13, 2022. The bond referendum election is needed to receive permission from the community to incur these costs. If passed, some of the proposed projects are: HVAC throughout the entire building, much of the system is original and currently window units are being utilized which are not as efficient and pose safety issues; replace a majority of the roof which currently has a number of leaks; the Media Center, which is a focal point of the school, is in need of renovation to update the room and the STEM Lab so the students can engage in curriculum to prepare them for STEM-Science jobs in the future. A section of the room will still be used as Library space. The High School has a state-of-the-art STEM Lab and updating the elementary school lab would better prepare the students to enter the high school program and meet success. The Middle School Science Lab is original to the school and the cabinets are falling apart and it needs a significant renovation. The Technology Infrastructure needs upgrading. A fiber line was run recently to the school however, the switches and access points are all outdated. The boiler is not in dire need of replacement right now, but it will be in the next four to eight years. The Faculty Room needs to be made larger to accommodate the copy machines and this will provide more space in the Media Room for the students. The restroom stalls and fixtures need to be replaced. The blacktop on the basketball court needs to be resurfaced.
Mr. Hagemann stated the school is not able to budget for these items due to the loss in state aid over the past five years. Collectively, the school has lost $2.4 million. The state aid decrease has increased every single year. The school has not cut staff and they have not cut programs. The way the school has been able to do this is by generating a significant about of tuition from bringing students in from other districts for special education programs. Currently, there are nine students from other districts attending Stanhope School and those districts pay tuition. The tuition amounts to slightly over $200,000 per year and is used throughout the building. Another reason for having a referendum is that the State will match the school’s referendum costs at 34%. The school would receive approximately $3.3 million dollars from the State by going out for a bond referendum. If the school went out on their own for these projects, there would be no reimbursement from the State. The current debt service is falling off this year which was incurred approximately twenty years ago when the addition was added on to the school. Once that falls off, there will be a decrease in taxes. The plan is, that if the timing is right, this referendum will be less than the previous one was. Most residents will see a decrease in their yearly taxes, even if the referendum passes. Councilman Wronko asked if the current staff will be able to provide the services to the students if the new STEM Lab is built or will additional staff have to be hired. Mr. Hagemann stated the current STEM teacher, Ms. Pipher, has been at the school for years and she has been doing some high-tech things with the children but does not have the facility or resources to do more. This teacher also continually attends training programs and often she does this on her own time and at her own expense. She will be dynamic in working with the children. The teacher at the high school is an engineer but Stanhope School is not going to be working with the children on that level. The goal is to prepare the students to be successful at the high school. Ms. Pipher is a STEM teacher 70% of the time and a special education teacher at 30%. The only potential increase may be to have Ms. Pipher as a STEM teacher 100% and to hire or find someone in-house to be the special education teacher for 30% of the time. A relationship has already been established with the high school to coordinate the curriculums.
Mr. Hagemann stated the total project cost is estimated at just under $6 million dollars. The expected state aid is just under $3.2 million dollars. The average annual cost to the taxpayers is expected to be less than $200 per year on a home assessed at $192,621.
Mr. Hagemann introduced Mrs. LeBron, Business Administrator; Mrs. Herald, Board of Education; and Mr. Moscatello, President of the Board of Education. Mr. Moscatello stated this plan has been discussed for quite awhile and the school administration has done a good job planning it all out. From a Board point of view, as stated earlier, it is not possible for the school to put money aside to save in order to implement these projects. It would be great to be able to put this in place as the debt service is falling off and the residents would still see a decrease in their taxes. Mrs. LeBron stated the last payment for the current debt service would be April 2023. Depending on when the referendum is approved and the bond goes into effect, there could be a double payment the following year to stay on the same rotation. Mayor Zdichocki stated the residents are going to ask what the cost is going to be for their taxes and they will ask if these projects are truly necessary. Mr. Hagemann stated this is a 100% need. Three quarters of the costs are going to be necessary within the next three to four years. The HVAC will not last and the roof is already leaking. The roof is not leaking due to neglect. Contractors have been brought in for repairs but there is nothing more they can do. Mr. Hagemann stated someone could argue that the STEM Lab is not necessary but he disagrees. If the students in this town are going to have a relevant and engaging education, in fields that they will potentially be working for in the future, the argument can be made that this is a requirement. If we do not do this as a school, other schools will lap us and that will be a significant issue for the parents. There are Choice Schools where they could send their children. Mayor Zdichocki asked if, in moving ahead with this project, would that bring in students from other districts and can the school handle that. Mr. Hagemann stated this would not be an issue. Stanhope School is not a Choice School. Mrs. Herald stated having a school which is up to date increases home values and brings new residents into the town. This benefits everyone. It is a benefit for the children and it benefits anyone wishing to sell their home. Mr. Hagemann stated the school enrollment size is the reason for the state aid cuts. At one time, there were 450 students in the school. Currently, there are 315 students. There is definitely space for more students. Councilwoman Kuncken asked what changes have been seen recently with enrollment. Mr. Hagemann stated schools base their enrollment on the number of students enrolled on October 15th. At this time, there are 315 students, which is an increase of 15 -20 students over the previous few years. This does not include the 9 students who pay tuition. State aid is not received for these students. It is more cost effective to keep the special education students in district. There is one student who is in a residential program and must be transported to and from the school each day. The cost of the transportation is $50,000 for the year, which is more than the tuition. Councilman Vance asked if Stanhope School could become a Choice School. Mr. Hagemann stated the school has tried and the County has contacted the State. The State has stated only the schools which became Choice Schools when the programs was started can be choice schools. No other schools will be permitted to do so. Councilman Romano asked, with the sale of the Linden Avenue School, how will those funds be utilized. Mr. Hagemann stated those funds may be available this year and, if so, they will be used to cover the increased transportation costs. Last year, after the budget was approved, a student moved into the district with significant medical and special educational needs. Unfortunately, this student cannot be educated at the Stanhope School. This student has to be sent to another school and the cost is approximately $100,000, which was not budgeted for. The funds may have to go toward that cost. If possible, funds would be placed in the capital reserve for projects which may arise in the future. If the $5.9 million dollars is approved, that does not mean that the school has to utilize all of it if they do not need it. They are not looking to spend money frivolously. Grant opportunities are being researched for the HVAC replacement. If grants are available, this would significantly decrease the costs. Rosemarie Maio, present in the audience, stated the $3 million dollars in projected state aid is more than 34% of the $6 million. Mr. Hagemann stated this includes interest. The state aid provided will basically wash out the interest costs. Ms. Maio asked what the referendum amount will be on the ballot. Mr. Hagemann stated the amount is just under $6 million dollars. Ms. Maio asked if the funds from the sale of the Linden Avenue school will be going to transportation. Mr. Hagemann stated the school is being sold for $330,000. The funds will be used for any excess costs outside of the budget. Ms. Maio asked what the costs are annually to maintain the Linden Avenue School. Mrs. LeBron replied the costs run approximately $70,000. Ms. Maio stated the $70,000 savings could be put toward the transportation costs. Mr. Hagemann stated the school received a considerable amount of federal Covid funding and they were told it can only be allocated in certain areas. The money has been used to fund salaries for one and a half of the teachers. When the money runs out in two years, the school needs to figure out how to pay those teachers or those positions will have to be cut. Some of the $70,000 cost to maintain the Linden Avenue school is built in for the custodians. All of this will not be a savings. It will just be time and energy that the custodians will not have to use to maintain the building, cut the grass and plow snow. There is enough work at Stanhope School to keep the custodians busy.
Ms. Maio stated the school has a tremendous asset in unused property adjacent to the school. Has the school considered selling that property and if so, is it being advertised that it is for sale? Mr. Moscatello stated the area consists of 34 acres, 30 of which is wetlands and the area is land locked. It is only of use to an adjacent property owner. There was a neighboring gentleman interested in purchasing the land and he was asked to provide a proposal. To date, he has not gotten back in touch with the school despite the fact that the school board has reached out to him several times. Mr. Hagemann stated the proposed cost of the bond is being presented with an inflated interest rate. If the interest rates continue to rise, the cost of the bond could increase. It is possible the actual numbers may be better than the proposed amount. Mrs. Herald stated the Linden Avenue School sale has not been finalized. There is a chance the sale could fall through. Councilman Wronko suggested the School Board advertise the sale of the property with the help of a realtor to market it proactively. Administrator McNeilly stated there is a value to the land as a standalone but there is a value to the land for the person who needs it to make the other piece possible. The developer did manage to have the governing body put the property put back in the sewer service area but that was done in 2019. Even with that, the developer would have to get past the threatened and endangered species and DEP. There are no sewer pipes in that area which would require an extensive sewer pipe extension, pump stations and water towers. The DEP has very specific requirements for the conservation of the land. Councilwoman Kuncken stated the direction the school is trying to move in with the STEM program is commendable. This is the way education is moving these days. This will provide a jump for the students to be able to take AP classes in high school. Mr. Hagemann stated Dr. Rossi, at the high school, is trying to, and has been successful, in creating courses at the high school so the students can earn college credits. The goal is to develop a pathway to have the students graduate high school with an Associates Degree as well. This would save time and money for the students and their families. Mayor Zdichocki asked if the other sending districts to the high school have STEM Labs or are they pursuing them as well. Mr. Hagemann stated Byram has had a lab for several years and the Hopatcong Middle School has a lab as well. This is an area where Stanhope is behind the curve. Asking for money is no easy task, especially for those who do not have children in the school system. The money will be spent for required items not on things that would just be nice to have. Two formal presentations will be held at the school which will be live streamed and the information will be advertised in the newspaper and on the school website. Mrs. Herald stated the Board realizes this is a big ask. She is also a taxpayer in the town however, the HVAC and the roof have to be replaced regardless of whether or not the referendum passes. The funds will have to be found by cutting from other areas which could mean the loss of teachers and programs. Our goal is not to do anything to cause a deficit to the children. We have been successful in doing this but now we need the town’s help. Mayor Zdichocki stated, of the council members here this evening, none have children in the school system. Councilwoman Kuncken replied that is how education works in America, you pay it forward. Mr. Hagemann stated the first presentation made was to the Senior Citizens Club. The school is not trying to hide anything from the public and the administration and school board promises to be as responsible as possible with the development and spending of the funds. At the end of the day it is all about the students. Councilman Wronko asked if the buyers of the Linden Avenue School have stated what the school will be used for? Mr. Hagemann stated they will be opening a pre-school. The governing body thanked Mr. Hagemann and the other representatives from the school for their transparency and for attending this evenings meeting.
ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
Administrator McNeilly stated he no report for this evening.
WORK SESSION
Donna Wien Request (Purchase Property Block 10807, Lot 12) – Mayor Zdichocki stated a request has been received from Donna Wien asking if she can purchase the lot located behind her house. Administrator McNeilly stated the governing body has to determine if a minimum bid amount will be required and it needs to be offered in a live auction at Borough Hall with notification to all the adjoining property owners for the sale of any Borough owned properties. The Borough Attorney will need to be involved in preparing the paperwork. Once the governing body determines if the land will be sold, a review of the assessed value can be used to determine the cost. The lot is located on the paper street one block in from Elm Street and parallel to Elm Street. Administrator McNeilly stated a few weeks ago he did receive a phone call from Dan Cronheim who was inquiring about this property as well. Mayor Zdichocki asked the governing body members if they are in favor of selling the lot. There were no objections. Administrator McNeilly stated the lot in question is a flag lot with 40 feet of frontage on Elm Street which opens up to 80 feet wide behind her house and goes another 100 feet back. The lot does have potential access from Elm Street. The three adjacent property owners to the lot in question are Donna Wien, Dan Cronheim and Arthur Polwin. Administrator McNeilly stated the process could take approximately two months. The lot is .28 acres (1/4 acre) and it is currently assessed at $10,800. The governing body agreed to move forward with the sale. Much discussion took place regarding what the starting bid amount should be set at. Administrator McNeilly stated a determination needs to be made first as to whether or not the lot is, or is not, a conforming building lot. Administrator McNeilly will contact the Borough Attorney.
NJ Natural Gas – Councilwoman Kuncken stated she and Councilman Vance attended a meeting with NJ Natural Gas last week. They spoke with the Engineer who is overseeing the gas line installation for Brooklyn Road. The Engineer explained to them that the top of the pipe has to be installed 34 inches beneath the surface of the road. Councilwoman Kuncken stated people are asking questions and NJ Natural Gas needs to provide a great deal of education on this issue. The cost for residents to run lines to their homes needs to be provided as well. Councilwoman Kuncken stated they were told if there is a street where only the last house at the end of the road wants to hook into the gas line, the company will not run a line for just one house. Administrator McNeilly stated it is still too early for the marketing to take place. The trunk lines need to be installed first.
The line on Brooklyn Road is going to be 12-inch steel and having it installed three feet down will be near the Borough’s infrastructure. This will be a concern digging on Brooklyn Road. NJ Natural Gas has received their approvals from the County. The Borough is not the owner of the activity on Brooklyn Road. If the governing body receives any phone calls, the people calling should be referred to Sussex County or the NJ Natural Gas company. As the Borough experienced in 2014, when the installation of the pipe has to be run from Sparta Road to Grove Road, that is not an easy installation. When that time comes, the Borough police, ambulance squad, fire department and DPW will have to be involved. Mayor Zdichocki asked if Administrator McNeilly could contact NJ Natural Gas to find out the schedule. Administrator McNeilly stated as information becomes available he will inform the governing body.
Fire Truck – Councilman Wronko stated someone from the fire department asked if there was any interest in donating the old fire truck. Mayor Zdichocki stated the fire truck is owned by the Borough and if the Borough can make money by selling the fire truck that is what should be done. The plan is to auction off the fire truck.
