5. Board Discussion Items

5.1 Insurance Options

Minutes

Mike Young provided the Board with a detailed review of the Consortium and District records for the current and the last years. He discussed the state of the insurance fund - saying it had a good balance, but cautioned that the Board needed to look at and plan for the future.

Tiffany shared an email with Ms. Eyerman today with the proposed PILOT that will be on the documents provided to the State once the Board approves the 100% abatement at their next meeting.This was added to this agenda in the event any Board member had further questions, concerns, or comments. Work Session/Special Meetings require us to state the purpose, so this was added to open discussion if needed. Dr. Butcher mentioned that he thought this was good for the district. Dr. Hire stated that he was hopeful more business will come into the area and work toward similar arrangements.


6. Ohio Sunshine Law Training
Ms. Terri Eyerman, Treasurer

Minutes

Ms. Eyerman attended the Ohio Attorney General Sunshine Law Training for the two newly elected members of the Board, Mrs. Susan Mann and Mr. Dave Shutt. She briefly shared with the entire board information pertinent to them about Public Records and the Open Meetings Act. She spoke specifically about Private entities that we do business with may/could possibly be required to respond to a public records request, and that texts, emails and written documents can all be considered public record. She also shared that private notes are not public record as long as they are not shared. Personal information on a public device is not considered public record if it does not have anything to do with the functions of the business.  She discussed what constitutes a meeting and asked the Board members to be careful of Public perception.  Board members discussed three types of meetings, and mentioned that members should not meet in groups more than two so a majority group is not considered a meeting. She shared that there are very strict rules for going into executive session and discussion in executive session. She added that decisions and votes should not take place in executive session. She provided each Board member with a copy of the Sunshine Laws book and the records retention document and asked them to contact her if they had further questions.
