11.1Adoption of Futility Resolution 20, Approval of New Classroom Building, Modernization, and Sitework, Bid Package G, Change Order #13 with Rodan Builders for Garfield Community SchoolAction
Item details
Rationale: The new classroom building, modernization, and sitework, Bid Package G, Change Order #13 with Rodan Builders for Garfield Community School, includes one potential change order (PCO’s), as follows: PCO-093 – Additional Signage -$23,813.75. This change order, if approved, will push this contract over the allowable 10% change order contingency, and we have therefore included a futility resolution to accompany this action. The futility resolution explains that it would have cost the District more money and created scheduling and coordination issues if they would have re-bid this additional scope to a new contractor rather than proceeding with the contractor that has already mobilized and is currently on site handling the construction.

16.1Information on San Mateo County Investment Fund - October, 2022Information
Item details
Rationale: Education Code Sections 41001 and 41002 generally provide that all money received by or apportioned to a school district shall be paid into the county treasury “to be placed to the credit of the proper fund of the district”. Pursuant to California Education Code Section 41015, the District may invest all or part of funds deposited in a Special Reserve Fund or any surplus monies not required for the immediate necessities of the District in any of the investments specified in California Government Code Sections 16430 or 53601. Historically, districts in San Mateo County have been depositing all of their funds into the county treasury. The County Treasurer has made investment decisions for the school districts, which is not a unique practice statewide. School district funds on deposit with the county treasury, along with funds deposited by other agencies, are placed in a County “investment pool”, and profits and losses realized from these invested funds are shared among the pool participants in proportion to the amount invested. Financial Impact: Gross pool earnings for October 2022: 1.600% The current average maturity of the portfolio is 1.34 years with an average duration of 1.26 years. The portfolio continues to hold no derivative products.
