Summary
An unspecified board voted to approve and sign a governor's deed transferring ownership of a state-owned old jail for $1; the deed requires additional signatures including the governor, the secretary of state and the director of the Department of Administrative Services.
An unspecified board voted to approve and sign a governor's deed transferring ownership of a State of Ohio property identified in the meeting as the county's old jail for $1 after returning from executive session.
The deed, described in the meeting as a "governor's deed," will be routed for signature by the governor and then other officials listed at the meeting: the Secretary of State and the Director of the Department of Administrative Services, the board was told. Board member Andrew Davidson and Board member Jason Denock voted "yes" in the roll call recorded on the transcript.
The deed discussion began immediately after the board returned to general business following an executive session that ended at 10:03 a.m. An unidentified board member said, "This is the deed from the state of Ohio. This is governor's deed that for $1 will transfer the ownership of the new jail..." (the speaker was corrected on the record: "not new jail. Old jail.") The same unidentified board member moved "that we approve and sign the deed as outlined, and we continue moving forward on that project." An unidentified board member seconded the motion. The transcript records a roll call that includes "Andrew Davidson? Yes." and "Jason Denock. Yes." The motion was approved as recorded in the meeting transcript.
Speakers in public comment thanked the board and law-enforcement staff for their work on the project. One public commenter said, "We appreciate all your hard work into this." Another public commenter made a brief clarification about the facility's designation, saying, "Yes. Your prison now is jail." The meeting then returned to public comment and later adjourned.
The transcript does not name the governing body that held the meeting, does not list the full roll call of all members present, and does not specify other implementation dates. The board noted that the deed would require subsequent signatures by the governor, the Secretary of State and the Director of the Department of Administrative Services before the transfer is complete.
