Is it ok to use "will be used" along with has decided ( present perfect)?..

Manhattan SC says that the we can use present with future.

eg:the chairman decides that at the machine profits will be used.--> Correct

But ....will be used along with has decided sounds a bit awkward..anyone else felt the same?.
