November 6, 2008 <br />Page 3 <br />B. Conejo Valley Unified School District Meadows Elementary and <br />University Elementary Public Notice Intention to Lease <br />Hare summarized the issue, including the sites, relevant District zones, area <br />parkland status, and potential uses. Concluding, he said that with sufficient <br />park acreage located within each site zone and area, additional parkland is <br />not required in accordance with the District Master Plan. Additionally, the <br />overall cost of the lease and subsequent staffing is much too great for <br />passive parkland and traditional community programming. <br />In response to Jacobsen's inquiry, Hare said that if no qualified offers are <br />received by the School District, partial site usage may be possible in the <br />future. <br />It was moved by Gibson, seconded by Holt, and carried 4-0 to take no <br />further action at this time to lease the Conejo Valley Unified School <br />District Meadows Elementary and University Elementary Schools. <br />C. Upgrade of New World Systems Software and Hardware <br />Lewanda provided a presentation, which summarized relevant background <br />information, problems and limitations of the current system, and compared <br />and contrasted the current and proposed system. <br />Segedie presented an overview of the advantages, efficiencies and <br />effectiveness of proposed system and latest applicable technology, further <br />identified and clarified the differences between the current and proposed <br />systems, and discussed security issues. He said Finance staff members <br />feel that the Logos.NET software would make their jobs more efficient <br />because of its Windows-based operation, and would facilitate interactions <br />with other employees, expand data accessibility, and assist with grant <br />preparation and project management. <br />Lewanda said that pricing is good, the District has a positive long-term <br />relationship with New World Systems, MRCA staff members are also eager <br />to upgrade to the Windows solution, MRCA will share the costs, and the <br />hardware will be housed at Hillcrest Center. <br />Gibson expressed support of the proposal. <br />
