• The provision has been retained allowing a reduction in the base fee if the Seminary makes improvements to its “life safety” equipment or systems at the Seminary. Twenty percent (20%) of the expenditures may be credited toward the annual fee, up to a maximum of fifty percent (50%) of the annual fee amount. This provision gives an incentive to the Seminary to continue to make major life safety improvements to the campus.
