Director Fox announced that she had one delegated project to report. She refreshed the board
on the 2006 Capital Bill allowing the Commission to delegate its approval authority to the
Executive Director for projects with appropriations of $50,000 or less. She signed an
administrative action for the Century Village Maple Museum project on December 1, 2009 that
received a $20,000 appropriation to create the Ohio Maple Museum at Century Village a 65-
acre historical village operated by the Geauga County Historical Society.

She brought to the attention of the board that of the three projects approved at the
Commission’s special meeting in July, we have successfully executed two sets of legal
documents. The Commission’s policy is to complete all legal agreements within six months of
the Commission’s approval. To that end, of the twelve projects approved at the August
meeting, we have executed eleven sets of legal agreements. We have already executed seven
sets of legal agreements out of the thirteen projects approved at the November meeting.

Director Fox announced that a new $30 million bond issuance closed yesterday, and the funds
will be deposited into the Commission’s Building Fund to pay project invoices. Copies of the
Official Statement for the bond issuance were distributed to the Commission Members. The
Commission authorized the bond issue at its November 17, 2009 meeting.

In March 2010, the Commission will relocate its offices to the Chase Building at 100 East Broad
Street. The new office will represent 30 percent reduction in square footage, and
arrangements beneficial to the Commission have been negotiated with both our current and
new landlords. The new lease is expected to generate savings for the Commission of
approximately $80,000 in the current fiscal biennium and roughly $50,000 in each successive
fiscal biennium.

Director Fox then called upon Craig Marshall to provide an update on the Commission’s
recently completed audit for Fiscal Year 08-09. Deleted: and all the meetings in 2009.
