November 22, 2016 Board Meeting Report from Alan Opheim

Director – Finance / Operations Business Office –

• October Balance Sheet and P&L are in the packet • STO contributions – The STO of Southeast Iowa is now full and no longer accepting contributions

for this tax year. All member schools reached their goal, including Regina. • I attended the Power U conference held by MidAmerican Power. Topics included Cyber Security

for utilities; rate expectations; impact of solar energy and wind energy on rates; and other general electrical information. As it relates to some of our future projects three specific take-always: 1) No major rate changes expected; 2) Wind energy can benefit both the industry as a whole, and individual purchasers; and 3) Solar energy is not deemed effective at this time due to payback terms, therefore MidAmerican is not putting resources into the alternative energy models at this time. Cyber security and natural disaster planning is of utmost importance, and whether accidental or targeted, all users should have short-term plans for a multiple day outage in their crisis planning.

Special Events / Fundraising / Advancement • Save the date for Gala is Saturday, February 4. Watch for exciting announcements for changes

being planned to bring The Kentucky Derby to Gala 2017. Tickets may now be order for the $10,000 Raffle.

• We will welcome to the Board meeting a few members of the Board of the Run for the Schools to present our share of the proceeds from the event.

Buildings & Grounds

• We continue to delve into projects while at the same time taking care of the daily needs of the school.

• Preliminary timelines and needed information for the First Avenue project are being discussed and started.

• Our tenant at the 2218 Rochester property has moved out. A few members of B&G will complete an inspection of the property. I have a goal of having a tenant by December 1 or December 15.

• Regina was given a generator that could be powerful enough to support some emergency connections. Jess and I will explore, and either implement or report to B&G if significant resources are needed. Administrators are also on top of determining emergency requirements as noted above in the MidAmerican section.

Ad Hoc and other participation • Advancement Team meetings • Meetings on International Student, WIA, and Regina potentials • Site plan, campaign meetings, preparation, and analysis have been consist additions to the

monthly agenda • One full administrative meeting • Meetings as needed (Security, custodial, administrators, finance related topics,) • Two Webinars, one for CE credit: 1) Excel and Budgeting by IMA; 2) Mercer’s What impact

does the election have on insurance and pensions
