Council President Schutt asked, any discussion? There was none. ROLL CALL: AYES: NAYS: Comments from Mavor Bodnar All Motion Carried None Minutes of August 1, 2022 Special Meeting Approved as Written Thank you, Council President. There is something that I would like to touch on tonight. Some of you may have seen or heard about the article that ran in Crain 's on-line today regarding Progressive selling five properties in the area. I would just like to touch on that and maybe clarify a couple of things. First of all, to let everyone know, we keep in touch with Progressive on a regular basis and we last met with their rep about a week and a half ago. They have been very open and candid and clear in letting us know what's going on. We do appreciate that. As to the five buildings Progressive is selling, only one of them is in the Village. In Crain's article, I am afraid if you just read the headline and look at the picture it might be confusing. It starts out with a picture of a large office building that Progressive is selling. If you read the article, you can tell, but if you just look at the picture, you can't tell. That office building is not in Mayfield Village. They are selling a small office building in Mayfield Village. It was formerly a drive-through service center that is on Beta Drive. We have been told that the jobs at that building should be remaining in Mayfield Village, possibly at Campus II. I should note that we have other jobs from outside of Mayfield Village in the locations that are closing that will be coming to Campus II in Mayfield Village. Progressive also owns a piece of vacant land that is behind the library and it's always been called Campus III and despite initial intentions to building a third campus there, that land has remained vacant and is that way today so they are intending to market that property to the extent that they are able to do so successfully and we bring in new businesses into that property. That will be a very positive thing for Mayfield Village. We hope that they are able to bring in a new business. That would be a good thing. We are currently aware of two businesses that are interested in purchasing the Campus III property. Unfortunately I can't disclose any more than that but there is quite a bit of business it seems like in that location. That's all I have for tonight. Thank you Council President.
