Motion: Mr. Thompson moved to approve the amended June 20, 2016 agenda as presented. Second: Mr. Roy Discussion: Mr. Kennedy-Shaffer shared his concern that Item 10.10 was under consideration, that the AFSCME agreement should be given a priority to administrator raises, and that as a new board member he was not a part of the discussion of the salary adjustments for Act 93 personnel. He would like more information and time to consider the matter. Mr. Krupp shared this concern and asked if this was a time sensitive matter. Mr. Gretton stated that the proposed salary adjustments in Item 10.3 are effective July 1, 2016, that they would be made retroactive if approved after that date. He too would like to see an AFSCME agreement soon. Mr. Roy asked if there is a cost to provide retroactive salary adjustments. Mr. Gretton stated there is not. Ms. Robinson called for a motion on the matter. Motion: Mr. Wilson moved to postpone Item 10.10 until the next voting meeting. Second: Mr. Kennedy-Shaffer Discussion: Ms. Robinson stated that the salary adjustments were approved by the Board last fall and that this is a vote to implement the adjustments. She does not agree that because the adjustments were approved by former board members that the action should not be implemented. By implementing these adjustments, the district will move forward to getting staff all staff settled with appropriate compensation, something the district needs to get into place. Mr. Gonzalez expressed his support of Ms. Robinson’s position, that we should stay the course and enact the salary adjustments. Mr. Roy stated he agrees with Mr. Gonzalez, that the Board is a continuous body with no break in action.

9.7 Approve 2016-2017 Homestead and Farmstead Exclusion Resolution

HARRISBURG SCHOOL DISTRICT 2016-2017 Homestead and Farmstead Exclusion Resolution

RESOLVED, by the Board of School Directors of the Harrisburg School District, that homestead and farmstead exclusion real estate tax assessment reductions are authorized for the school year beginning July 1, 2016, under the provisions of the Homestead Property Exclusion Program Act (part of Act 50 of 1998) and the Taxpayer Relief Act (Act 1 of 2006), as follows:

1. Aggregate amount available for homestead and farmstead real estate tax reduction. The following amounts are available for homestead and farmstead real estate tax reduction for the school year beginning July 1, 2016:

a. Gambling tax funds. The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) has notified the School District that PDE will pay to the School District during the school year pursuant to Act 1, 53 P.S. § 6926.505(b), as a property tax reduction allocation funded by gambling tax funds, the amount of $2,771,689.74.

b. Philadelphia tax credit reimbursement funds. PDE has notified the School District that PDE will pay to the School District during the school year pursuant to Act 1, 53 P.S. § 6926.324(3), as reimbursement for Philadelphia tax credits claimed against the School District earned income tax by School District resident taxpayers, the amount of $2,977.88.

c. Aggregate amount available. Adding these amounts, the aggregate amount available during the school year for real estate tax reduction is $2,774,667.62.

2. Homestead/farmstead numbers. Pursuant to Act 50, 54 Pa. C.S. § 8584(i), and Act 1, 53 P.S. § 6926.341(g)(3), the County has provided the School District with a certified report listing approved homesteads and approved farmsteads as follows:

a. Homestead property number. The number of approved homesteads within the School District is 6,315.

b. Farmstead property number. The number of approved farmsteads within the School District is 0 (zero).

c. Homestead/farmstead combined number. Adding these numbers, the aggregate number of approved homesteads and approved farmsteads is 6,315.

3. Real estate tax reduction calculation. Dividing the paragraph 1(e) aggregate amount available during the school year for real estate tax reduction of $2,774,687.62 by the paragraph 2(c) aggregate number of approved homesteads and approved farmsteads of 6,315 (before considering the assessed value of approved homesteads and approved farmsteads having an assessed value below the preliminary calculation of the maximum real estate assessed value reduction amount to be established as the homestead and farmstead exclusion amount), the preliminary calculation of the maximum real estate tax reduction amount applicable to each approved homestead and to each approved farmstead is $439.38.

9. OTHER FISCAL MATTERS 9.7 Approve 2016-2017 Homestead and Farmstead Exclusion Resolution-continued

Based on calculations provided by the School District Business Office from the best available information and carefully evaluated by the School Board, considering the assessed value of approved homesteads and approved farmsteads having an assessed value below the preliminary calculation of the maximum real estate assessed value reduction amount to be established as the homestead exclusion and the farmstead exclusion amount, an additional aggregate amount of $149,268 will be available during the school year for real estate tax reduction applicable to approximately 41 homesteads and farmsteads, resulting in an additional real estate tax reduction amount available for each homestead and farmstead of $0.65. Adding this additional amount to the preliminary calculation of the maximum real estate tax reduction amount of $439.38, the final maximum real estate tax reduction amount applicable to each approved homestead and to each approved farmstead is $440.03.

4. Homestead exclusion calculation. Dividing the paragraph 3 maximum real estate tax reduction amount of

$440.03 by the School District real estate tax rate of 27.80 mills (.02780), the maximum real estate assessed value reduction to be reflected on tax notices as an homestead exclusion for each approved homestead is $15,715.

5. Homestead/farmstead exclusion authorization – July 1 tax bills. The tax notice issued to the owner of each

approved homestead within the School District shall reflect a homestead exclusion real estate assessed value reduction equal to the lesser of: (a) the County-established assessed value of the homestead, or (b) the paragraph 4 maximum real estate assessed value reduction of $15,715. For purposes of this Resolution, “approved homestead” shall mean homesteads listed in the report referred to in paragraph 2 above and received by the School District from the County Assessment Office on or before May 1 pursuant to Act 1, 53 P.S. § 6926.341(g)(3), based on homestead/farmstead applications filed with the County Assessment Office on or before March 1. This paragraph 5 will apply to tax notices issued based on the initial tax duplicate used in issuing initial real estate tax notices for the school year, which will be issued on or promptly after July 1, and will not apply to interim real estate tax bills.

6. Homestead/farmstead exclusion authorization – interim real estate tax bills. No homestead exclusion will

apply to any interim tax bill except an interim tax bill applicable to a property that includes an approved homestead listed in the report received by the School District from the County Assessment Office on or before May 1, but not included in the tax assessment reflected in the July 1 tax bill for the property. In most cases, the assessment of approved homesteads will be reflected in July 1 tax bills. However, in any case when there is an approved homestead that is not included in the assessment reflected in the July 1 tax bill, and when an interim real estate tax notice is issued later based on an interim assessment including the approved homestead, the interim tax notice shall reflect a homestead exclusion real estate assessed value reduction calculated under paragraph 5, except that the paragraph 4 maximum real estate assessed value reduction will be prorated in the same manner as the real estate tax is prorated. Assuming the interim tax notice reflects taxation as of July 1, as will occur in most such cases, the full amount of the paragraph 4 maximum real estate assessed value reduction will apply. In the extraordinary case where the new interim tax assessment is effective after July 1, the paragraph 4 maximum real estate assessed value reduction will be pro-rated in the same manner as the real estate tax reflected in the interim tax bill is pro-rated.

RESOLVED this 20th day of June, 2016. ATTEST: BOARD OF DIRECTORS THE HARRISBURG

SCHOOL DISTRICT ___________________________ ______________________________ Carol Kaufmann, Board Secretary Danielle Robinson, President

The Administration recommends approval of the 2016 – 2017 ACT 93 employees’ salary increases as presented.

Motion: Mr. Roy moved to approve Item 10.10 as presented. Second: Mr. Thompson Discussion: Mr. Kennedy-Shaffer stated he could not support raises for management before an agreement with AFSCME was completed, as AFSCME workers are the least compensated. Mr. Gretton stated an agreement has been proposed to AFSCME but it was turned down. The current agreement expires June 30, 2016. Mr. Gretton Stated Act 93 has an agreement that was approved by the Board last fall. Mr. Kennedy-Shaffer expressed frustration that negotiations with HEA and AFSCME have taken too long. Mr. Robinson pointed out that the item under consideration is the implementation of the Act 93 salary adjustments approved by the Board last fall. She objected to the characterization that one group (Act 93) is more important than another job classification and emphasized the Board’s perseverance to getting all employees compensated fairly. Mr. Kennedy-Shaffer moved to table item 10.10 but was called out of order because the same motion failed earlier in the meeting. Mr. Krupp stated he supports Mr. Kennedy-Shaffer and requested to see the Act 93 agreement. Mr. Kennedy-Shaffer cited the May 31, 2016 minutes as evidence of his support to make AFSCME negotiations a priority before Act 93. Ms. Robinson repeated her stance that she will not pit one work group against another. All employees must be fairly compensated.
