over the net impact fees and said that the subcommittee had written their
recommendations.
First, Joe Wall motioned to approve the study as recommended by the
subcommittee. Gina seconded and the group unanimously approved.
Second, Gina Downs motioned that the recommendation of the subcommittee is
to not change the fees as proposed because of the standing agreement. Joe

Third, Joe Swaja motioned that a decision be made in October of 2012 as listed
in the options below listed. Vlad Ryziw seconded and the group unanimously
approved. The options are:

level.
2) Adjust the current (50%) fees to account for 2011 and 2012 indexing.
3) Adjust the fees in the 2011 school impact fee study to account for 2011 and
2012 indexing.
4) Accelerate the next school impact fee study (required every 3 years).
5) Consider other options, as appropriate.

Tom Chmelik showed the group the ProTools product for his projects and
explained how the system works. He also showed the group how information
can be found in the system and how reports can be produced. The information
then integrates into SAP so data does not have to be entered twice. The system
is also being used for grants. Effective December 1, 2009 all new grants have
been entered into the system at the time of application, then is fed into SAP at
the time of award. Approximately 90 grants worth $65M are being managed in
the new system.
