Mrs. Bates moved that the Report of the Student Achievement Committee be accepted. Passed viva voce. President Reed declared the motion carried.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE The Finance Committee met on Tuesday, October 19, 2010 at 4:00 PM at the Cincinnati Public Schools Education Center in Conference Room 1-A.

FOR BOARD INFORMATION General Fund 5-Year Forecast for 2010-2015 Fiscal Years Jonathan Boyd, Treasurer/CFO, presented to the Committee a draft of the General Fund 5-Year Forecast for 2010-2015 Fiscal Years. Mr. Boyd indicated that, due to HB264, some of the numbers would change before he presents the Forecast at the Special Public Meeting on Wednesday, October 20, 2010. The current forecast predicts a deficit of $21.8 million in 2012. For forecasting purposes, CPS is allowed to show a deficit. Delinquent Payment – Collection Agency Teresa Johnson, Assistant Treasurer, reported to the Committee that delinquent payments for preschool tuition are approximately $87,000 for last year, and for out-of-district tuition are approximately $101,000 for the past six years. Ms. Johnson then updated the Committee on the new procedures put in place in order to effectively manage tuition payments. These will enable CPS to collect payments and not have to use a collection agency; however, an RFP for collection agency services was suggested to collect the outstanding delinquent payments. Committee Chair Ingram indicated the RFP is not necessary, given the controls and new procedures. Committee member Bolton believes the Board would be uncomfortable using a collection agency. Ms. Johnson indicated that several CPS policies need to be reviewed and possibly updated regarding payments. At the Special Public Meeting on October 20, 2010, Ms. Ingram will make this a referral to the Policy Committee. Michael Alao, Internal Auditor, commented that, unlike a private business or corporation, the District may not have the option to write-off the delinquent payments and may have an obligation to take efforts necessary to collect them. Fay Apartment Renovations Mike Burson, Director of Facilities, informed the Committee that the Fay Apartments have been renamed Roll Hill Village and that he has been in contact with Brian Hendy, Sr. Vice President for Wallick-Hendy Properties. Wallick-Hendy Properties is the owner/property manager of the apartments. Mr. Burson shared that the renovation plan calls for a reduction of approximately 150-190 units; however, the plan is for the residents to be placed in other units during the renovations. As he receives additional information, Mr. Burson will inform the Board. Jennifer Wagner, Chief Information Officer, informed the Committee that there are 143 Roll Hill students that live in Roll Hill Village, which is a slight decline since last year. Once the October ADM information is finalized, Ms. Wagner will be able to make determinations. The use of the Community Learning Center at Roll Hill Elementary was discussed regarding whether or not it serves the community. At the Special Public Meeting on October 20, 2010, Ms. Ingram will make a referral to the Student Achievement Committee to determine the usage of the school’s CLC.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE (cont.)

Casino Revenue Update Under the Ohio constitutional amendment approved in November 2009 that allows casinos in Cincinnati and three other Ohio cities, 34 percent of the casino taxes will be dedicated to public schools. Hamilton County officials have started conversations on how to spend future casino tax revenues, and Ms. Ingram would like to ensure that CPS gets what the district is entitled to receive. The construction of the casino at Broadway Commons and the impact on neighboring properties was discussed. At the Special Public Meeting on October 20, 2010, Ms. Ingram will make an assignment to Cynthia Dillon, General Counsel, to re-examine CPS’ relationship with the Woodward Trust. Other Business Budget Timeline for FY2011 Ms. Johnson presented a draft timeline to the Committee. Ms. Ingram indicated that the Board as a whole will need to look at the timeline in order to determine when conversations regarding a possible levy should take place. Community Reinvestment Area Projects Mr. Boyd reported to the Committee that two abatements will be included in the Treasurer’s Report at the regular Board meeting on October 25, 2010. The agreements will be with 1400 Race, LLC, and 1415 Vine, LLC. Both abatements have been reviewed by the CPS legal team, and meet the level of “payment in lieu of taxes.” The meeting adjourned 6:25pm. Finance Committee Staff Liaisons Present Catherine D. Ingram, Chair Mary Ronan, Superintendent Eve Bolton Jonathan L. Boyd, Treasurer/CFO Vanessa Y. White, absent Teresa Johnson, Assistant Treasurer Additional Attendees Michael Alao, Internal Auditor Milton Allen, IT Manager Jennifer Wagner, Chief Information Officer Mrs. Bates moved that the Report of the Finance Committee be accepted.
