The Committee reports were the next item on the agenda. Executive Committee Meeting Report An Executive Committee meeting was conducted on December 11, 2017. (a copy of the meeting minutes was included in the board packet.) Ken Wingo stated the purpose of the Executive Committee meeting was to:

• Discuss ATA’s Audit • Review Gabe Uljon’s Retirement Contract

ATA Audit Michael reported the auditing firm that was selected to conduct ATA’s audit stated they could not complete the audit and withdrew the engagement. As a result of this, the second firm that submitted an RFP was then contacted. Coletta reached out to McGill, Power and Bell a certified public accounting firm based out of Meadville. Michael stated that we moved forward and had them come in to perform our audit, and we are awaiting results. Michael stated they are a very reputable company and have done transit audits in the past. At this time, Kenneth Wingo made a motion to move that we approve McGill, Power and Bell the second responsible bidder that was on the list to conduct ATA’s audit, because the first bidder on the list terminated operations. William Setree seconded the motion with all in favor. Retirement Contract Michael reported that with Gabe’s retirement on January 1, 2018, Brian Fleming a native from St. Marys was hired to fill this position. Gabe had agreed to stay on to help orient Brian to the job and be available when needed. Michael reported the transition was seamless. With no further discussion, a motion to approve the December 11, 2017 Executive Committee meeting minutes was made by Kenneth Wingo. Harry Whiteman seconded the motion with all in favor. Old Business There was nothing to report under Old Business. New Business There was nothing to report under New Business.
