q.
The request is for a five-year, one-sixth (.16) mill property tax levy. This is the same levy COSI has sought in the past two general elections. COSI's request will be reviewed by the *Lucas County Citizens Levy Review Committee* in the near future. The committee has scheduled a meeting for August 6, 2008. It will then make a recommendation to Lucas County commissioners on whether or not to approve the issue to the ballot. The commissioners must approve or reject levy requests by August 21.

q.
Council voted 9-3 in favor of a request from the Finkbeiner administration to approve an amended lease between the city and the Ohio Cultural Facilities Commission, which contracted with COSI to be located in the city-owned riverfront building. Councilman George Sarantou said he supported the measure because the *city is responsible for about $6,900 a month* to pay for utilities and a security system in the building regardless of COSI's troubles. Councilmen Frank Szollosi, Tom Waniewski, and D. Michael Collins voted no.
