<br />2. Executive Committee Report:
<br />
<br />a) Final 2003.2004 Budget.
<br />Tim Yantos reviewed the final 2003.2004 NCDA budget being brought forward for
<br />consideration. Mr. Yantos noted that over the last several years, the NCDA's budgets
<br />have reflected the State's fiscal year (from June through June) and not the calendar year
<br />because of the uncertainty of action the State Legislature and of the available of grant
<br />funds. Mr. Yantos noted that the approach of aggregating the 2003.2004 budget was
<br />necessary to appropriately account for expenditures and shift the NCDA back to a
<br />calendar year budget. Mr. Yantos further noted that this budget includes an extension
<br />of the current budget to cover the period September through December, 2004 but that
<br />no additional contributions are being requested from contributing members. Art
<br />Daniels made a motion that the 2003.2004 Budget be approved. The motion was
<br />seconded by Arne Engstrom and passed unanimously on a voice vote.
<br />
<br />b) Amendments to Professional Services Contracts for Remainder of 2004.
<br />Tim Yantos noted that the NCDA approved professional services contract amendments
<br />with Richardson, Richter & Associates and Ken Stevens for project management
<br />services and Himle Homer, Inc. for community and public involvement services on
<br />June 24, 2004. These amendments increased the contract amounts for work performed
<br />through September 30, 2004. In order to continue working on Northstar Project
<br />development, the Executive Committee/Capital Budget Committee is recommending
<br />that the NCDA authorize amending the contracts to cover the extended time period.
<br />Mr. Yantos noted that these contract amendments are within the approved 2004 NCDA
<br />budget and work plan. The amendments being recommended are:
