30 April REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE (cont.) Mr. Kuhns moved that the Report of the Student Achievement Committee be accepted. Passed viva voce. President Bolton declared the motion carried. REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE The Finance Committee met on Monday, April 16, 2012 at 4:30 PM at the Cincinnati Public Schools Education Center in the Board Office Conference Room Audit Comments The Auditor of State (AOS) released the CPS audit report for the fiscal year ended June 30, CPS received an unqualified opinion and there were no report-level findings. Treasurer Whitt advised the audit included two non-compliance citations and one recommendation in the management letter. Michael Alao, Internal Auditor, stated the audit went very smoothly. An unqualified opinion is the best opinion an audit can receive and is issued when the independent auditor believes the financial statements are sound and free from material misstatement. Mr. Alao advised that the non-compliance citations and recommendation were not significant enough to be included in the management level nor did they represent a significant risk to the District. Technology Projects Requiring Board Approval Jennifer Wagner, Chief Information Officer, updated the Committee on several upcoming technology projects. Capital Lease for Storage Area Network The District s current storage area network equipment is aging and will need replacement to allow for more efficient storage space management. A five-year, fair market value (FMV) lease is proposed to finance the equipment. This FMV lease will allow for annual payments of estimated $112K and avoid a large cash payout every five years, create the opportunity for cyclical refresh, and allow for storage growth. This project is scheduled to be submitted for Board approval by the end of April or early May, Refresh of School Servers The District s current school and data center servers are aging and running out of space. An upgrade is needed to allow for centralized backups. Budget SY12 estimated $500,000 to replace the servers at the 31 Windows schools and 32 Mac schools and $150,000 to replace the data center s 24 servers. This project is scheduled to be submitted for Board approval by the end of April or early May, RFP Update for Network Switches The Routed Network Plan or Classroom Without Walls Plan in the schools allows the routers to be refreshed through the E-Rate contract; however, the necessary switches are not. The age of the District s current 768 switches ranges from years. An RFP for updating the District s network switches was issued on March 26, 2012 with a due date of April 13, The replacement of this equipment will establish three key, long-term benefits: 1. Standardization of technology level in network foundation; 2. Creation of a predictable, five-year refresh cycle for equipment to support needed technologies; and 3. Introduction of an investment return through standard industry trade-in programs, reducing long-term total cost of ownership of the devices.

31 April REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE (cont.) This project is anticipated to be submitted for Board approval by the end of May ACTION: Board Member Ingram requested a five-year equipment refresh plan be prepared, and emphasized that the plan should detail how it impacts student achievement. Mrs. Wagner will present the plan at the next Committee meeting. Investment Update Treasurer Whitt presented the monthly investment reports for March 2012 for all construction bonds. The total earnings of realized gains and losses were $25, Because the FMP is nearing completion, the invested funds are continuing to diminish as the money is spent on current projects. Monthly Financial Statements September 2011 to February 2012 The monthly financial statements for September 2011 through February 2012 were presented by Treasurer Whitt. Due to a problem in the Oracle payroll system, fringe benefits were not being reported properly. Rather than distribute incorrect reports, the reports were not generated until the payroll issue was resolved. Community Reinvestment Acts Mercer Supply, LLC Treasurer Whitt informed the Committee about a Payment In Lieu of Taxes Agreement with Mercer Supply, LLC, authorizing a real property tax exemption of 100 percent for a period of 12 years in connection with the renovation of a 57,000 square-foot warehouse building located at 4460 West Mitchell, Cincinnati, OH 45232, at an estimated aggregate cost of $486, in the City of Cincinnati Community Reinvestment Area. During the period of time in which the tax exemption is in effect, Mercer Supply, LLC shall pay to Cincinnati Public Schools an amount equal to 25 percent of the increased taxes that would have been levied, had the (abatement) CRA not been in effect. Annual revenue to Cincinnati Public Schools is estimated at $3, The 12-year revenue is estimated at $43, BAM Realty Group, LLC Treasurer Whitt informed the Committee about a Payment In Lieu of Taxes Agreement with BAM Realty Group, LLC, authorizing a real property tax exemption of 100 percent for a period of 12 years in connection with the renovation of a 22,000 square-foot building to Leadership in Energy and Environmental design Certified Silver, Gold or Platinum standards, as defined by the U.S. Green Building Council, located at 4426 Brazee Street, Cincinnati, OH 45209, at an estimated aggregate cost of $2,338, in the City of Cincinnati Community Reinvestment Area. During the period of time in which the tax exemption is in effect, BAM Realty Group, LLC shall pay to Cincinnati Public Schools an amount equal to 25 percent of the increased taxes that would have been levied, had the (abatement) CRA not been in effect.

Annual revenue to Cincinnati Public Schools is estimated at $101, The 15-year revenue is estimated at $1,516, The Treasurer will recommend approval of the agreements at the April 30, 2012, Board meeting.

32 April REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE (cont.) Budget Final Review of Recommendations Treasurer Whitt and Superintendent Ronan advised the Committee that they are still working on the budget figures; therefore, the budget is not ready and they do not have anything to share at this time. Mrs. Whitt also stated that the budget will be based on work done with APQC, and they are incorporating that information also. As soon as the budget is done, it will be shared with Board. Amnesty Treasurer Whitt advised the Committee she will be distributing a letter to all staff communicating the importance of properly encumbering funds. This is to ensure that all district funds are expended based on current state law, and that the funds are encumbered on an approved purchase order prior to the ordering of goods or services. Effective through April 27, 2012, amnesty will be granted on all late requests. During this period, no new late requests can be created. These expenses will come out of the FY2012 budget. Beginning April 28, 2012, the amnesty period will close. Late requests for non-emergencies will not be approved by Treasurer Whitt, and the requestor will be required to present his/her request directly to the Board Members for their approval at the next regular Board meeting. Other Business On Friday, April 13, 2012, Treasurer Whitt received correspondence from Hamilton County, which included a Resolution Accepting the Amounts and Rates as Determined by the Budget Commission and Authorizing the Necessary Tax Levies and Certifying them to the County Auditor.
