00:00:13MEMBERS I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE
CHIEF COUNSEL BUT SEE SCHUSTER
00:00:17TO SERVE AS SECRETARY THIS

00:00:18A RECORD OF THESE PROCEEDINGS IS
BEING TRANSFORMED BY A COURT
00:00:23REPORTER AND THE OHIO CHANNEL IS
STRAINING THIS MEETING LIVE ON
00:00:28THEIR WEB SITE, WHERE IT WILL BE
ARCHIVED.
00:00:30AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO
ASK SECRETARY SHUSTER TO CALL
00:00:36THE ROLL.
>> SENATOR FABER, MR. GRIFFIN,
00:00:41MR. MORGAN, MR. STRAHORN --
STRAHORN, SECRETARY HUSTED?
00:00:48>> LET THE RECORD REFLECT A
QUORUM.
00:00:49TODAY THE BALLOT BOARD MUST
EXAMINE THE CLEAN ENERGY
00:00:52PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT TO DETERMINE WHETHER
00:00:55IT CONTAINS ONLY ONE PROPOSED
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
00:00:58IF THE BOARD DETERMINES IT
CONTAINS MORE THAN ONE THE BOARD
00:01:02MUST PROVIDE THE PROPOSED
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT INTO
00:01:05INDIVIDUAL AMENDMENTS.
THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL
00:01:08AMENDMENT TEXT AND SUMMERY WERE
READ -- PROVIDED TO BOARD
00:01:11MEMBERS IN ADVANCE OF THE
MEETINGS AND ARE IN THE BOARD
00:01:14MEMBERS NOTEBOOKS.
EXTRA COPIES ARE AVAILABLE AT
00:01:16THE FRONT DESK.
AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE WILL
00:01:20MOVE TO THE PUBLIC COMMENTS
SECTION.
00:01:22IF ANYONE RUSHES -- WISHES TO
ADDRESS THE BOARD WHETHER IT IS
00:01:28ONE AMENDMENT, PLEASE SIGN IN ON
THE SHEET LOCATED HERE IN THE
00:01:31FRONT.
AND AGAIN, AS I ALWAYS REMIND,
00:01:36WE ARE NOT HERE TO DEBATE THE
MERITS OF THE PROPOSAL BUT
00:01:40WHETHER IT IS ONE AMENDMENT OR
MORE.
00:01:41AT THIS POINT IN TIME, I WOULD
LIKE TO ASK MR. DON MCTIGUE TO
00:01:52COME FORWARD AND PROVIDE, --
PUBLIC COMMENT.
00:01:57>> THANK YOU, SECRETARY HUSTED,
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
00:02:01I AM DONALD MCTIGUE, AND
REPRESENT THE FOUR COMMITTEE
00:02:08MEMBERS OF THE PETITION
COMMITTEE AS LISTED ON THE FACE
00:02:11OF THE PETITION.
AS A SECRETARY HUSTED SAID, THE
00:02:16ONLY ISSUE TODAY IS WHETHER OR
NOT THE PROPOSAL CONSTITUTES ONE
00:02:20AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL
MORE THAN ONE.
00:02:22I RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT THAT IT
CLEARLY IS JUST ONE AMENDMENT.
00:02:25IT IS A BOND ISSUE THAT
INCLUDES PROVISIONS RELATED TO
00:02:32AMOUNT AND PURPOSES, AND
DECISION MAKING OVER
00:02:42DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROCEEDS OF
THE BOND.
00:02:44IT IS ALL, I THINK, IN TERMS OF
THE AMENDMENTS, IT ALL FITS VERY
00:02:52EASILY WITHIN THE STANDARD
ANNOUNCED BY THE SUPREME COURT
00:02:58IN THE OHIO LIBERTY CASE, IN
THAT THE BALLOT BOARD HAS A
00:03:08OBLIGATION TO LIBERALLY
CONSTRUED THE RIGHT OF
00:03:10INITIATIVE, AND AS LONG AS THE
PROPOSAL, THE PROPOSED
00:03:14AMENDMENT, THERE IS SOME
REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP TO A
00:03:17SINGLE GENERAL OBJECT OR GENERAL
PURPOSE, THEN IT IS ONE
00:03:21AMENDMENT.
SO, WHAT WE HAVE IN THIS
00:03:23AMENDMENT ARE ESSENTIALLY
PROVISIONS AUTHORIZING THE BONDS
00:03:31AND THEN PROVISIONS ON
IMPLEMENTING THE BONDS.
00:03:33CLEARLY ALL ONE PURPOSE.
THANK YOU.
00:03:37>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR.
MCTIGUE?
00:03:44ALL RIGHT, I THINK YOU ARE OFF
THE HOOK TODAY.
00:03:53>> THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT.
00:03:54>> ANYBODY ELSE WISHING TO
PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE
00:04:03ISSUE?
ALL RIGHT?
00:04:06IS THERE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE
CLEAN ENERGY PROPOSALS AS
00:04:16CONTAINING ONLY ONE -- ONE
AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION?
00:04:21>> SO MOVED.
>> BY MR. MORGAN, SECONDED BY
00:04:25MR. GRIFFIN.
ANY DISCUSSION?
00:04:27HEARING NO DISCUSSION,
SECRETARY, COULD YOU CALL THE
00:04:31ROLL?
>> MR. GRIFFIN, MR. MORGAN, MR.
00:04:35STRAHORN, SECRETARY HUSTED.
>> YES.
00:04:39BY A VOTE OF 4-0, THE MOTION
CARRIES.
00:04:43>> THE MOTION CARRIES.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?
00:04:47IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE COME TO
THE CONCLUSION OF OUR WEEKLY
00:04:51AMENDMENT TO THE OHIO
CONSTITUTION MEETING.
00:04:53WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ISSUES TO BE
BROUGHT BEFORE THE BOARD, WE
00:04:58STAND ADJOURNED.
