Meeks informed the Board that he and Fiscal Officer, Randy Gonzalez met with Kenan Advantage last week after reading that they were being courted and planned to move to Green in Summit County. The meeting went very well but he is not at liberty to reveal what was discussed until things are finalized. All options and alternatives are being looked at and things are going in the right direction. He said Kenan appreciated them scheduling the meeting and he is looking forward to meeting with Kenan again this week.
Gonzalez said the CIC and John Meeks are also exploring every avenue for financing to help them out. This is one of those situations where until there is more concrete information that can be discussed with the public there isn’t much that can be said right now. He said that hopefully, more will be known next week.
