Trustees:

Mr. Leber – didn’t have anything to report at this time.

Mr. Parker – reported that he had talked with County Auditor Rick Jeffery about the Nexus Gas Line tax valuation struggle. He said that Nexus had met with all the Auditors of the tax districts involved with the Nexus gas line. He said Nexus had said that they were dropping the valuation of the gas line because of a loss of gas production due to a loss of gas production to another competitor. Mr. Jeffery said that Nexus had negotiated a current value for the gas line with the State of Ohio and had agreed to pay tax at 85% of the agreed value if every entity involved would settle on that amount. Mr. Jeffery said all but one entity had agreed with the new valuation and tax base. Nexis stated that if there was any outstanding entity and it ended up in court that the earlier agreed upon agreement would be voided. Mr. Jeffery said at this point, being that it’s ended up in the courts, it is anyone guess at what the new agreement will be. 

Mr. Stewart –– said he didn’t have anything at this time.
