Ultra Dairy, LLC has requested the execution and delivery of a mortgage and related documents with respect to a refinancing.
Jeffrey Davis advised that this is a standard refinancing and the resolution before the Board is to provide authorization for the Agency to join the lender documents as necessary. Patrick Hogan read the Agency action requested, “A resolution of the Board authorizing the
execution and delivery of lender documents.” Motion was made by Susan Stanczyk, seconded
by Fanny Villarreal. Motion was carried.
Robert Petrovich advised that this authorization is for an existing contract with Barton & Loguidice (B&L) for the work that they’re doing at the White Pine Campus. This increase is for additional costs associated with laboratory sampling for asbestos abatement that the Agency is anticipating for structures on the White Pine Campus.
R. Petrovich noted that most of the work was done on a basis of a scope, as B&L didn’t know how many samples they would have to take until they were on site.

amount authorized in the amount of $30,940 for engineering services.” Motion was made by

The action before the Board is a settlement of any remaining eminent domain procedure process between OCIDA and Transform Co. J. Davis advised that this would be an authorization to allow the Executive Director to negotiate, finalize, execute, and deliver a purchase contract and any related documents with respect to the acquisition of the Transform Co. property at the former Shoppingtown Mall.
