ASSOCIATION NEWS COMMISSIONERS NOT RETURNING TO OFFICE TO BE RECOGNIZED AT WINTER CONFERENCE CCAO sincerely appreciates the time and service dedicated to serving county government by county officials. In honor of your service to CCAO and Ohio county government, commissioners that will not be returning to office in January 2013 will receive a plaque and be recognized at the Conference. Each out-going commissioner will receive a letter with details about this recognition next week. For more information, please contact Mary Jane Neiman, CCAO Public Relations Associate, at (614) 220-7979, (888) 757-1904 or mjneiman@ccao.org CCAO NOMINATING COMMITTEE TO FILL OFFICES OF 2013 PRESIDENT & 2nd VICE PRESIDENT This week, David Dhume, Madison County Commissioner and CCAO Nominating Committee Chair, announced that the Committee has extended the deadline for accepting expressions of interest for CCAO officer positions until November 14. Tim Brown, Wood County Commissioner and CCAO 1st Vice President, has been elected to the Ohio House of Representatives and will not be seeking the office of CCAO President. In order to be eligible to be elected as an officer of CCAO, a commissioner must be from a member county and must have at some time in the past served a term of at least one year on the Board of Directors. In addition, the CCAO Bylaws require that the office of President not be occupied in any two consecutive years by a commissioner who is a member of the same political party. Given the fact that the current President, Debbie Lieberman, is a Democrat, only commissioners who are Republicans may be nominated for the office of President. In addition, only a Republican can be considered for the office of 2nd Vice President.

2

This extension is being given because some commissioners may not have requested consideration because it was assumed the Commissioner Brown would be nominated for President and other vice presidents would have been similarly moved up through the nominating process. If you are interested in submitting your name for consideration as a CCAO officer, please fax or email your letter of interest by 12:00 NOON ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2012 to:

1. David Dhume, Madison County Commissioner, fax (740) 845-1660 or email at djdhume@columbus.rr.com

2. A copy should also be sent to: Kathy Dillon, CCAO Office Manager and Boards' Liaison, fax (614) 221-6986 or email at kathydillon@ccao.org

CCAO TO HOST SESSION FOR NEWLY ELECTED COMMISSIONERS AT WINTER CONFERENCE During the CCAO/CEAO Winter Conference, CCAO will be hosting a “Welcome & Briefing for Newly Elected Commissioners” on Sunday, December 9, from 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Commissioner-elects and a guest are invited to join us at a reception following the session. There will be no charge to attend this session. In addition, commissioner-elects are welcome to register and attend the entire Conference. Registration and travel expenses associated with attending this conference may be reimbursed by the county even though the commissioner-elect has not yet taken office. However, before such costs can be paid by the county these expenses must be approved in advance by the current Board of County Commissioners pursuant to Ohio Revised Code 325.20.

2012 GENERAL ELECTION RESULTS: 62 NEW COMMISSIONERS TO TAKE OFFICE IN 2013

Over the past few months, the attention of the nation and Ohioans might have been on the election of the

President, U.S. Senate and House, and the Ohio Senate and House, but to the 179 county commissioners, 5

unexpired terms up for election – the spotlight was on the grassroots of government. As a result of the

election, 13 counties will have 2 new commissioners, 37 counties will have 1 new commissioner.

Summary of incumbent status:

74 won (38 - R and 36 - D)

58 ran unopposed in general (42 – R, 15 – D and 1 - I)

This CAB highlights updates to the changes made in in the recent public notice law reforms in HB 153. HB 487, effective September 2012, offered language clarifying that political subdivisions are not required to operate and maintain an internet website to use the alternative publication procedure. Further, the law was changed to clearly specify that notices are required to be placed on the State Public Notice website only when the alternative publication procedure is utilized.

Registration materials were emailed to county commissioners, county engineers and their staff, CCAO/CEAO affiliate members, and vendors today. For the first time, you have the opportunity to register for the conference online. In the past, the Conference ended on Wednesday at noon. To save county officials time away from the office and additional lodging cost, the Conference will end this year after the Tuesday Luncheon. All meetings and the trade show will be held at the Greater Columbus Convention Center which opens up more opportunities for exhibitors to participate, because there are no load limits in the exhibit hall. Another change is the hotel room blocks. The headquarters hotel will be the new Hilton Downtown Hotel, which is connected to the GCCC via an enclosed walkway. The Sunday night reception, hospitality suites, and a block of hotel rooms are at the Hilton. Additional blocks of hotel rooms have been held at the Drury Inn (Drury group access code – 2151385) and the Hampton Inn & Suites.

The Spouse/Guest Luncheon & Program will be held on Monday, December 10 from 11:30-2:00 p.m. at the new Hilton. The new Hilton offers a contemporary presence in the eclectic urban hub of Columbus, reflecting the spirit and energy of the area. The hotel features a stunning art collection comprised of over 150 original pieces by Central Ohio artists. The artwork is displayed in function space, guest rooms and public areas of the hotel. The executive chef and food and beverage director are culinary experts from the Columbus food scene.

STATE ACTIVITIES OHIO ETHICS COMMISSION ISSUES TWO OPINIONS ABOUT REVOLVING DOOR LAW EXCEPTIONS At its October 25th meeting, the Ohio Ethics Commission adopted two hypothetical advisory opinions regarding revolving door law exceptions. The first hypothetical (Advisory Opinion 2012-03) explains two newly enacted exceptions to the Revolving Door Law that apply to non-elected state and local officials and employees who accept employment at another state agency or subdivision of their same local public agency. The second hypothetical (Advisory Opinion 2012-04) explains a separate exception to the Revolving Door Law that applies to a former public employee when he or she is retained by the former public agency or by a third party employer if the former public employer determines that his or her work for the new employer will assist the former public employer. If you have questions regarding these Advisory Opinions or questions about application to specific situations, please contact the Ohio Ethics Commission at 614-466-7090 and ask to speak with an Advisory Attorney.

CASINO REVENUE CONTINUES TO FALL OFF

The October report of the statewide adjusted gross casino revenue (AGR) total was up from September's $37

million due to the opening of the Columbus venue. Both Horseshoe Casino Cleveland and Hollywood Casino

Toledo, however, pulled in less in October than they did in the previous month. The AGR for both casinos has

steadily declined since they opened in mid-May.

According to state data, the statewide AGR for the three casinos last month totaled nearly $54 million.

Horseshoe Casino Cleveland pulled in the most in AGR with just over $20.8 million, while Hollywood Casino

Columbus made $18.2 million and Hollywood Casino Toledo saw $14.8 million. FEDERAL ACTIVITIES ENHANCED & UPDATED USDA ENERGY WEBSITE MAKES INFORMATION EASY TO ACCESS The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has updated their Energy Web site.

The Energy Web information is available through several associated online tools, such as USDA Energy Investment Maps, the Renewable Energy Tool, Energy Matrix, Investment Projects Reports, as well as helpful state links to energy resources within individual states. Version 2.0 site will provide new resources; new reporting features and the investment data is current thru August 2012.
