NATIONAL IMPACT FEE ROUNDTABLE

BOARD MEETING

August 1, 2005

The Board meeting was held by conference call on August 1, 2005. The meeting began at 12:00 pm EDT. Board members participating were Doug Frost, Deborah Galardi, Clancy Mullen, Pedro Leon, Rick Giardina and Tyson Smith. Joe Colgan joined the meeting at 12:30 pm and Rick Giardina left the meeting at 1:00 pm EDT, so there was a quorum at all times. The meeting was adjourned at 1:10 pm EDT.

MINUTES. The minutes for the meeting of July 5 were approved without amendment.

CONFERENCE UPDATE. Rick referred to the list of 67 paid attendees so far that he emailed to the Board this morning, and said he has received a couple of additional forms without fee payment yet. We have received four Platinum sponsorships and one Aluminum sponsorship from Tindale-Oliver & Associates, Harris & Associates, Duncan Associates, Red Oak Consulting and Rimrock Consulting. Aside from the nine complimentary tickets awarded to sponsors, we have only received one other paid Thursday dinner reservation. Rick also noted that some speakers have not yet registered, and asked if sponsors were aware of the opportunity to provide advertising freebies to attendees in the goodie bags. Clancy volunteered to send an e-mail reminder about the end of early registration on Friday, the requirement for speakers to register, the Thursday dinner reservations and the goodie bags.

The Board decided on the Thursday dinner menu, to consist of fettuccine with shrimp, the New York strip, chicken piccata or mahi-mahi, with house salad, baked potato and cheese cake.

Rick will send the Board an e-mail in the next 10 days to two weeks, with an update on the number of registrations, hotel reservations and sponsorships.

PROGRAM UPDATE. Clancy reported that the most recent program of session was on the web-site, and said he had contacted all of the speakers and asked them to start preparing for their sessions. Tyson suggested that we should try to recruit a keynote speaker for the Thursday luncheon, and the suggestion met with general approval. It was decided that we would offer to pay travel expenses for the keynote speaker. Pedro volunteered to contact ULI to begin the process of finding a keynote speaker, and to keep the Board updated via e-mail.

TAX EXEMPT FILING. Tyson reported that the filing for NIFR’s tax exempt status was taken care of.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE. Tyson reported that all of the 14 nominees had been contacted, and twom Deborah Galardi and Chris Moran, had asked not to be considered. He said that Rachel would make a logical choice for conference president next year for the DC Roundtable, and he would ask her if she would like her name withdrawn from the regular Board nominations so she could be considered for that position. Tyson said that he would contact nominees and ask them to provide a short statement, limited to 150 words, of their interest in serving on the Board and background in impact fees. For the record, the 12 nominees are:
