Quatrone, Capizzi, and Leto couldn’t produce any
agreement between the district and Mr. Quatrone from June 8, 2007 that would give
him more than $15,000 for unused sick days no matter when retirement occurred
so they tore out an old sheet from an expired contract and sent that to the
county office.
Passing off one sheet from an expired contract as a
memorialized agreement is not acceptable. Especially when that sheet never appeared in any contract from 2012-2017.
1) The page
above doesn’t provide any guidance beyond a 2011 retirement. All district employees have been capped at $15,000 since 2014. Are they allowed to tear out one page from an expired contract and say they want $192,000 instead of $15,000?
2) N.J.A.C. 6A:23A-3.1 sets the per diem rate at
1/260, NOT “1/20 of the gross
monthly salary” (a 240 day work year).
3) Mr.
Quatrone had 3 different contracts covering 2007. His contracts were renegotiated by majority
conflicted board members. I would bet
that no “doctrine of necessity” existed as the board increased Mr. Quatrone’s salary
from $146,240 to $196,244 in just five years.
Why? Because majority conflicted
boards were voting on all aspects of Mr. Quatrone’s employment without invoking
DoN up until 2015 when I filed an ethics complaint.
Should Lodi also pay for Frank Quatrone’s dental until
he is 70 years old? That clause also appears on the page posted above.
4) The
contract from 2012 to 2017 doesn’t mention 212 days. It doesn’t list any number of days to be paid at retirement. It doesn’t list any value of days. It doesn’t include any memorialized agreement
from June 8, 2007.
A lot of Superintendents throughout New Jersey saw their sick day payouts reduced to $15,000 when their contracts expired after June 8, 2007 and they chose not to retire. Those that are paid more than $15,000 have memorialized agreements in each of their contracts approved after June 8, 2007.
