Talked with Gary Dowdell and Sandy Mills 3/13/07:

Definitely want to be on the May agenda. They are sending a package of materials overnight.

Audited financials will be done in May.

They are sending confirmed funds and a schedule. They have reconciled the pledges and they willprovide a time line for receiving the pledges.

We reviewed pledge cards above a certain amount prior to construction. They do not want to providenames on the fundraising report but will work with us if we require more information. They have notprovided names on past fundraising reports.

They are forwarding a 2007 budget.

They have projections out for 3 years. They do not typically do a 5 year projection.

Fundraising is ongoing for operations only. There is no fundraising for construction.

$50 million in bonds$29 million in cashTurning current pledges into cash

They think the state funding plus interest will get them to fully funded with $2.1 million excess.

ITEMS OF INTEREST

Community "wish lists" seeking capital appropriations for the 2007-08 biennium total more than $1 billionstatewide for what is expected to be $90-$120 million available for community capital projects, according to arecent report in Gongwer, the news service that covers issues in and around Ohio's government and politicalsystems. Commission projects from the states major metropolitan areas that are seeking additional appropriationsinclude:

Akron-Canton Area: Pro Football Hall of Fame ($2.5 million); MAPS Air Museum ($2 million); McKinley Memorial($500,000);

Franklin County: Columbus Museum of Art ($1 million); COSI Columbus ($1 million); Cuyahoga County: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ($3 million); Steamship William Mather ($1.5 million); West Side Arts

Consortium ($1.2 million); Dayton Region: Schuster Center ($5.5 million); Carillon Historical Park ($1 million); Hamilton County: Cincinnati Sports Facilities Improvements - Great American Ballpark and Paul Brown Stadium

Leadership changes continue at Ohios cultural venues. In the past year, 16 cultural institutions have had to replaceor prepare for the pending departure of their top executive, including at the Beck Center for the Arts, Cincinnati ArtMuseum, Cincinnati Ballet Center, Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens, Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland Institute ofMusic, Contemporary Arts Center (Cincinnati), COSI Columbus, Dayton Art Institute, National Underground RailroadFreedom Center, Taft Museum of Art, Stambaugh Auditorium, ReesePeters House, Pro Football Hall of Fame, WestcottHouse and the Western Reserve Historical Society. This follows a national trend documented by CompassPoints 2001and 2006 studies on non-profit leadership, both of which found that 75% of non-profit executive directors planned to leavetheir organizations within five years. The trend also appears to be a reflection of the corporate world. The Oct. 30 issue ofBusiness Weekreports 1,112 corporate chief executives have left their positions this year, including those at Ford MotorCompany, Kraft Foods, Nike and RadioShack. The total is on pace to exceed last years record 1,322 exits.

In an effort to promote Issue 18, the local cigarette tax on the November 7 ballot to fund the arts in GreaterCleveland and Cuyahoga County, 17 area arts and cultural organizations offered events at no cost or reducedrates on October 18. The aim of the days performances was to show voters a sample of Greater Clevelands arts and


41/193

culture in an effort to gain support for the ballot issue. Issue 18, which calls for a tax of 30 cents per cigarette pack, isexpected to raise more than $20 million annually for arts and cultural organizations if it passes.

PROJECT NEWS

Cultural Facilities

Akron Art Museum: The $40 million addition to the museum, scheduled to open July 15, 2007, will be named the John S.and James L. Knight Building. The Knight Foundation has contributed $6 million toward the construction, including a $2million grant announced in October. The state of Ohios $7.7 million in capital bill appropriations tops the list of majorcontributions to the museums capital campaign that is funding the addition. The Commission has reimbursed the projectmore than $5.7 million to date.

Beck Center for the Arts (Lakewood): According to recent news reports, the Beck Center will stay in Lakewood andform a partnership with city schools to create an arts-education academy that would anchor a possible cultural district inLakewood's west end. The plans are a long way from fruition, according to published reports, with as much as $20 million

needing to be raised and decisions to be made about which buildings to demolish, renovate or construct. The Beck Centerhas a $100,000 appropriation for capital improvements through the Commission. The funds will not be released until theBeck Centers finances are in order and future operations are understood. An initial $100,000 appropriation that was usedfor an improvements project at the Center is currently being held in escrow. The escrow was agreed to by theCommission and Beck Center officials as a way to assist in its financial recovery efforts. The agreement was approved bythe Commission at its May 2006 meeting, but has not been signed by officials of the Beck Center and National City Bank.The Commission retains the first leasehold position on the property until the agreement is signed by all parties. (Link toarticle.)

Charles A. Eulett Education CenterEdge of Appalachia Museum (West Union): Commission staff is working tocomplete the execution of legal agreements for the project following dismissal of the federal lawsuit challenging propertyrights where the education center is to be built, and approval of title work by outside counsel. The cooperative useagreement and construction administration and funding agreement have been signed by the project sponsor, CincinnatiMuseum Center. The Commission approved the education and training center project, and the expenditure of $1.85million in state funds, at its February 2006 meeting, and approved a three-month extension of time for execution ofagreements in August.

Cleveland Institute of Music: David Cerone, who has guided the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM) as president since1985, announced his retirement from the school as soon as a successor can be found. According to published reports,Cerone, 65, told CIM Board President A. Malachi Mixon III that he intended to step down after the school's capitalcampaign for expanded facilities had been completed. The campaign reached its $40 million goal at the end of August.Mixon will chair a search committee to find a successor to be in place by the start of the 2007-08 school year. The CIMproject, which has $1.5 million in state appropriations, and the expenditure of funds was approved by the Commission atits November 2005 meeting. The approval included the caveat that the project must be fully funded prior to


42/193

42

reimbursement. Commission staff is currently reviewing the CIMs fundraising report, and comparing it with the actualproject construction costs in an effort to determine whether the project is fully funded or not.

Contemporary Arts Center (Cincinnati): Cynthia Goodman has been named interim director at the Contemporary ArtsCenter (CAC) while CAC's board continues the search to replace former director Linda Schearer, who resigned lastmonth. Goodman is in the running for the permanent position. Shearer, director of the CAC since July 2004, resignedSept. 1 to pursue other interests.

COSI Toledo: The Toledo Blade has endorsed Issue 11, COSI Toledo's levy request that would generate $1.4 millionannually for the science center. From the editorial: "While we realize that the odds are stacked against passage of the0.167-mill levy, known as Issue 11, we believe that COSI is a worthy enterprise that Lucas County voters should support."COSI officials have characterized the organizations funding model as unsustainable. Commission staff continues tomonitor the organizations financial situation. Approximately $1.2 million remains from a $1.9 million appropriation to COSIfor new exhibit development and improvements. (Link to article.)

Great Lakes Historical Society (Vermilion): Officials from the Historical Society, which owns and operates the InlandSeas Maritime Museum located in Vermilion, presented their vision for a new museum along the Lorain waterfront toLorain City Council in October. The proposed project will cost approximately $10 million, according to a published reportthat attributed the figure to Historical Society Executive Director Chris Gillcrist. The report also stated that $5 million isneeded for exhibits, and the Historical Society would like to increase its current $1 million endowment to about $12 millionThe Commission approved in October 2003 a project at the Vermilion site for exterior and interior improvements. Thatproject was not undertaken by the Historical Society, and they instead have been pursuing the relocation plans. TheCommission would need to review and approve a project at the new site if the Society hopes to use $475,000 in state

funds for the project. (Link to article.)

National Underground Railroad Freedom Center (Cincinnati): The FreedomCenter, whose leaders are seeking $2.85 million in the next capital bill to helpoffset the facilitys operating costs, has introduced audio tours of the FreedomCenter narrated by Hollywood stars Angela Bassett (far left) and Vanessa Williams(left). The Freedom Center provides a phone-like device for visitors taking theaudio tour at no extra charge. The device can be held to the ear or plugged intoheadphones, which the museum also provides. While the Center continues to

receive national attention, its financial performance has not met projections. The two-year-old FreedomCenter lost $5.5 million in its first 18 months, according to published reports. Commission project manager Colin McBridewill meet with the Centers finance staff in early November, and will provide additional updates as they become available.The state of Ohio has contributed $12.6 million toward its construction costs through the Commission, including $4.15

million in fiscal year 2006.

Mather(Cleveland): The Harbor Heritage Society, which operates the Mather Museum, hastransferred its collections, assets and $600,000 annual business operation, including six full- and part-time employees, tothe Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC) as was forecast last month in this report. The transfer will not affect the MatherMuseums $100,000 state appropriation as long as the appropriation is used for improvements to the steamship. Animprovements project at the museum has not yet been presented to the Commission for approval.
