Staff clarified that in December 2009 North Hills and Lewisville ISD both had fund balances under

release remaining allocated funds under $10,000 to be applied toward recently approved project(s).
Both schools submitted a written request for the remaining fund balances. Lewisville ISD was issued a
check in the amount of $3,386.67 and North Hills was issued a check in the amount of $4,650.51
which left both schools with a $0 budget allocation as of 08/31/10. April Terry made a motion to
approve the Annual Report, and Bill Elieson seconded. The vote was unanimous.
Item 5: Discussion to consider the resignation of Brian Letzkus, President.
Deputy City Manager Mario Canizares explained that staff anticipates the meeting in November to be
the last meeting for the Coppell Education Development Corporation; therefore, there should be no
need to replace Brian Letzkus. Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD has indicated they will be submitting a
grant for the November meeting requesting the remainder of their budget allocation. The budget
allocation for Coppell ISD is under the $10,000 threshold that the City Manager has been authorized to
approve. The city is currently interviewing Boards and Commissions applicants and the CEDC was
not included in this process.
