SOUPer
Bowl offers
great soups
and helps
community
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
You can satisfy your hunger and help
others in need during Canal Winchester
Human Services’ ninth annual SOUPer
Bowl on Feb. 2.
More than a dozen homemade soups -
along with ceramic bowls handmade by
Canal Winchester High School students,
desserts, a silent auction and bake sale -
are all part of the festivities from 11 a.m. to
2 p.m. at the human services complex, 80
Covenant Way in Canal Winchester.
“Many individuals and groups donate
the soups and desserts,” said Canal
Winchester Human Services Director
Aletha Mullins. “Churches, organizations,
businesses and local residents all join in for
this fun and worthwhile event. The
SOUPer Bowl is our largest annual
fundraiser in which funds are directly
raised for operational costs to keep the
doors of Human Services open.”
According to Mullins–and similar to
homeownership–human services incurs
costs to keep lights on, maintain an Internet
connection, plow the parking lot in
inclement weather, heat and cool the building,
and more.
“This building is our home, and it has
costs associated with keeping it safe and functional,”
said Mullins. “We see the SOUPer Bowl as a way to
have an open house of sorts that allows the entire
family of Canal Winchester to enjoy sports, fellowship,
and service together, just like a family would.”
Funds generated by proceeds from the event are
used to maintain the building and fund operational
costs, which, in turn, enable human services to carry
out daily operations such as the food pantry; medical,
grocery and personal appointments with senior
transportation; and community and senior outreach
events including Adopt-A-Family, Tools for School,
and an annual Easter Egg Hunt.

“That is just a small sampling of what we do, but
our building is a hub of great things happening to
serve others all year around,” said Mullins. “As we
are a non-profit organization, we never want to forget
to extend our appreciation to everyone who joins
in with us for this worthy cause. Collectively, our
schools, churches, businesses, and residents all play
a part, and if we could reach out and hug each and
every one of them we would. A special thanks goes
out to O’Neil Tents, as they always donate to us

CW gets grant for
McGill Park trail
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
Canal Winchester Development Director Lucas Haire said the
city recently received notification of a $450,828 ODNR Clean
Ohio Trails Fund grant for a trail from McGill Park to the covered
bridge.
The city applied for the 50 percent matching grant in February
2019. The total budget for the trail is $901,656, which will serve
as a connector between the city’s existing trail system in the
James Kelly Preserve at the covered bridge on the west end and
the newly developed McGill Park along Walnut Creek.
“It (the trail) will give residents a place to participate in
healthy activities and interact with nature,” said Haire. “It will
expose residents to a beautiful part of the city of Canal
Winchester adjacent to Walnut Creek. The trail will be an amenity
that all residents of Canal Winchester can use regardless of age
or physical abilities. We’re excited to have this portion of the park
complete early in the development of McGill Park. Residents will
be able to use the park and experience the beauty of this piece of
land and understand why we wanted it to be preserved for the use
of all of the community.”
According to Haire, the grant will allow the city to complete

Who will lead council?
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
Canal Winchester City Council began the new year at an
impasse in electing a new council president.
However council did unanimously select Mike Coolman as
council vice president during council’s Jan. 6 organizational meeting.
At that meeting council went into a closed door session for
about an hour to discuss committee assignments and appointments
after Mayor Mike Ebert and council members Bob Clark,
Mike Walker and newly-elected council member Chuck Milliken
were sworn in.
When council reconvened nominations were opened for council
president. A motion to nominate Will Bennett failed, followed by
a tie - also resulting in a failure - to nominate Mike Walker as
president. According to council rules, the result ended in a temporary
vacancy, which postponed the vote until a future meeting.
However, when council members turned to filling the vice president
position, the consensus was easily reached with a unanimous
vote for Coolman, who, in the absence of a president, conducted
the rest of the organizational and regular council meetings.
Jill Amos was named chairman of the Rules Committee and
will serve alongside Milliken and Coolman. Milliken was also
appointed as Human Services representative. The Destination:
Canal Winchester board member is Mike Walker, Canal
Winchester Industry and Commerce Corporation representatives
are Bob Clark and Pat Lynch and Amos and Bennett will again
serve on the Canal Winchester Joint Recreation District board.

Franklin County coroner issues overdose death report
The Franklin County Coroner’s Office
released its preliminary overdose death
statistics for the first nine months of 2019.
The statistics used are decedents who
have died of overdoses in the county using
injury location, not residence.
The coroner office statistics are sometimes
different from those of the state and
other agencies who use decedents who have
died of overdoses in the county using residence
only.
By using injury location, the coroner’s
office captures persons who are homeless
with last known addresses in other counties
or states, persons who are “couch surfing”
with last known addresses outside of

McGill Park within an expedited time
frame, starting with the first phase later
this year, which includes athletic fields, a
playground, shelter houses, utilities, an
access drive and parking.
“The trail will connect to these amenities
when complete,” Haire said.
The estimated cost for the first phase of
improvements at McGill Park, including
items previously mentioned, is approximately
$2.1 million. The city was awarded
a $500,000 grant last year to complete
improvements through the National Park
Service’s Land and Water Conservation
Fund.
“We are awaiting a final signed agreement
so that we may begin this phase of
work later this year,” said Haire. “Our
hope would be to bid the projects together
and complete them at the same time.”

“With the three grants combined, the
city has received over $1 million in grant
funding related to parks in less than two
years,” said Haire. “This is a direct result
of the Master Parks Plan that the city completed
in 2017 and adopted in 2018. This
set the direction for the improvements that
were necessary and gained the public input
and support to pursue these plans. Having

What to do with former auto museum?
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
The quest for consolidated municipal space in a sprawling
building formally housing a Canal Winchester auto museum
moved into the legislative phase following a Dec. 16 public meeting.
Up for discussion was an ordinance proposing the $2.4 million
purchase of a 23,700 square foot structure sitting on a 1.29-acre
site at 45 E. Waterloo St. Opened in the summer of 2014 by auto
dealer Bob McDorman, the auto museum closed in 2016 after
McDorman passed away in 2015 and its inventory liquidated in
2017.
If the purchase contract, up for a first reading during the regular
council meeting following the public meeting, is approved by
Feb. 12, the seller–Alice McDorman–agrees to finance the contract
on a 10-year term at 4 percent interest. The city would make
quarterly payments of approximately $73,000.
“This would centralize municipal operations within Old Town
of Canal Winchester so they remain in the heart of the community,”
said Canal Winchester Development Director Lucas Haire. “It
would provide for a larger public meeting space to allow for more
resident engagement. There’s just not enough space in our current
environment.”
It was standing room only during the Dec. 16 public meeting as
45 chairs were filled with community members hearing about the
details of the proposed agreement.
Haire said the new space would double the number of available
seats, while also providing overflow space if necessary, along with
expanded office space, meeting rooms, a new community center,
security upgrades and potential room for a larger library branch.
“We’re still one of the fastest growing cities in Ohio,” Haire
said. “It would provide an expanded area for the community center.
When we have heavy rains, that place floods. It’s nearing the
end of its useful life.”
Depending on needs, the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Department
substation could move out of cramped quarters in the basement of
Town Hall, 10 N. High St., and occupy the first floor or take over
part of the 36 N. High St. municipal building.
Haire said the city looked other locations throughout the years,
including sites on North High Street, Groveport Road, Gender
Road, and West Waterloo Street, or expanding into Stradley Park.
He said none met the needs financially or physically that the
McDorman complex provides, even though the city will still need
to budget another $2.2 million for renovations.
“We have not discussed nor intend to ask for any debt from the
residents,” said Canal Winchester Finance Director Amanda
Jackson, who said the contract would be covered by the general
fund, with the renovation initially funded by short-term borrowing.
“Financially speaking, our general fund is very healthy.
Typically we only budget what we think we’ll take in and we’ve
done very well.”
Haire said the Canal Winchester Branch of the Columbus
Metropolitan Library, currently located at 115 Franklin St., is
exploring the idea of relocating to 45 E. Waterloo St.–if the city
ends up purchasing the building–as part of an expansion plan.
There is approximately 8,000 square feet of available space on the
east side of the structure the city planned to initially lease to a
tenant complimenting municipal operations.
“I do like the idea of the library being a part of that,” said Canal

The city of Canal Winchester is seeking to purchase this former
auto museum located on East Waterloo Street.
Winchester City Councilman Mike Walker.
Resident Randy Stemen said larger council chambers and an
upgraded community center would be nice, but he also feels the
city should first list needs and then set priorities. He questioned
why the city is interested in keeping municipal operations downtown.
Former city council member Bobbie Mershon called for another
preliminary study of the current municipal
building and potential for expansion.
“You are taking a whole block of downtown
and creating a space that does not create
tax dollars,” said Mershon. “You don’t
want to take up such a big footprint with
non-tax generating dollars.
Mershon feels the proposed complex is
also over-priced. According to Haire, the
building was initially listed at $3.2 million.
The city’s intent to purchase agreement is
$2.4 million.
“I like the overall concept of the building,”
Canal Winchester City Councilman
Pat Lynch, “but it’s one big piece of an overall
puzzle. I want a clear understanding of
where the money’s coming from and future
expansion.”
While Lynch and Councilman Will
Bennett voted against untabling the ordinance
and Councilman Bruce Jarvis
abstained citing he would not be on the
council when final action was taken, the
ordinance was untabled by the four remaining
council members and moved on for a
first reading on the regular agenda at a
future meeting.

Two unique books for your reading consideration
One of the wondrous things about books
is that they can take on a variety of forms
in which to present information, provide
entertainment, and generate insight.
Two books I enjoyed this past year are
examples of how the traditional narrative
form of a novel or short story can be molded
into something else entirely and be just as
delightful and intriguing.
The books are “Humans of New York:
Stories,” by photographer Brandon
Stanton; and “Notes From a Public
Typewriter,” edited by Michael Gustafson
and Oliver Uberti. The strength of both
books is that they offer personal and philosophical
insights from every day people in
a mere paragraph, or sometimes, one sentence.
Though short, these passages are, in
essence, fully formed short stories in their
own right.
“Humans of New York: Stories” sprang
from Stanton’s online blog, “Humans of
New York.” Over the past few years
Stanton has photographed and interviewed
about 10,000 strangers of all ages he met
on the streets of New York. Each page of
the book has a photo of the interviewee and
some statements from Stanton’s interviews
with them. It is personal storytelling with
a face. Stanton’s photos appear to capture
the personalities of the anonymous people
being interviewed.
There’s a photo of a pensive man, who
looks to be approaching middle age, sitting

observes to Stanton
that, as we age, there
are fewer things to
experience for the
first time and, even
when one does, the
excitement is muted.
But he adds one also

He then ponders
what it will feel like
when he reaches age
70.

Palsgrove
Another photo
shows a man walking
with a cat on his head. The man matter-offactly
tells Stanton that one can make
more money with a cat on one’s head than
if the cat is on one’s shoulder.
Some of the people’s comments express
alienation. Some are joyful. Some people
are forthcoming with their words and others
are more reticent. Some are sad. Some
are funny, such as the little girl who told
Stanton she wanted to be a princess hairdresser.
When he asked her what the hardest
part of that job was she answered that
it would be cutting Rapunzel’s hair.
I often make notes in the books I own of
the page numbers and passages I like and
will revisit in the future. My copy of
“Humans of New York: Stores” has dozens
of such notations.
The content in “Notes From a Public
Typewriter” was gathered when a typewriter
with paper was set up in a Michigan
book store and people were invited to
anonymously type a message. Much like in
“Humans of New York: Stories,” the passages
in “Notes From a Public Typewriter”
can be a paragraph, a sentence, or one
word. Where “Humans of New York:
Stories” presents storytelling with a face
filtered through an interview, “Notes From
a Public Typewriter” brings the typists’
thoughts directly to you from their brains,
through their fingers on the typewriter
keys, to the typefaced words all can read.
The many typed messages collected in
the book are widely varied in temperament
and can be described as poignant, humorous,
hopeful, raw, sad, philosophical,
romantic, questioning, and more. Some
examples include: someone who typed that
they race snowflakes to see who falls first;
a writer comparing their lover’s eyes to
that of wonderful August skies; another
noted that they were on a date, but their
bladder was leaking; and, in what had to be
more youthful typists, asking where the
power button is on the typewriter and
another who wrote if they had to type an
essay on “this thing” they would quit
school.
Both books are a random sampling of
the thoughts that go through our heads on
a daily basis. A dominant theme in both
books is love and relationships, which indicates
the age old battle of loneliness marches
on.
One typist’s comment seemed to sum up
both books’ contents, as well as the human
condition, as they wrote that, in the end,
we are all stories.

Obetz passes 2020 budget totaling more than $48 million
By Ris Twigg
Staff Writer
The village of Obetz passed its final
2020 appropriations budget and created
two new divisions at its December council
meeting.
Obetz’s general fund for 2020 totals
more than $14.7 million for the upcoming
year and can be spent on any legal village
expenses, while the rest of the budget –
which has a series of funds meant for specific
purchases only – adds up to more
than $33 million.
“We have loaded everything in that you
need to be able to function,” said Rod
Davisson, Obetz economic development
director. “I expect we will re-look at these
things more closely in January and make
sure that both the outgoing council and
incoming council have a chance to coordinate.”
The total $48.8 million appropriations
budget only covers the village’s expenses,
Davisson said, and does not include revenue.
Notable line items in the budget
include: $1 million for the capital improvement
fund for things like new parks and
over $2.5 million for street improvements,
among other expenditures.
One difference between this year’s budget
and last year’s is that Obetz’s capital
outlay numbers have decreased because
the village has been taking loans from
funds in future years in order to “deliver
projects now and pay (them) back later,”
Davisson said.
Two public works divisions created
In addition to passing their annual
budget appropriations, council created two
new divisions within Obetz’s Department
of Public Works and codified four other
divisions in both the Department of Public
Works and the Department of
Development.
Three of the divisions have appointed
directors moving into 2020, and the
remaining will be filled in as the need arises,
Davisson said.
“As we move toward becoming a city,
things become more regimented, and you
need more structure in that,” he said. “This
is installing that structure.”
The two new divisions include a grounds
crew and space for research and development,
a division Davisson said will make
the village more efficient.
“We realize when you buy stuff as a village,
it’s expensive. You’re using taxpayers’
hard-earned money to buy things that
aren’t terribly sexy, like stop signs,”
Davisson said. “We have taken the
approach here that government can do better.”
For instance, the Village of Obetz
pets of the week
invested in a field-lining robot. According
to Davisson, it takes two workers about
three days to line one football field. The village
lines a variety of sports fields about
15-20 times a year, he said.
“So we bought a $30,000 robot. You put
paint in it, turn it on, and it does a football
field in two-and-a-half hours. So it’s those
investments – either buying new technology
and implementing it or developing our
own – that are going to allow us to remain
efficient stewards of the taxpayers’ money,”
Davisson said.
Mayor recognized; Wiley and Hall
are honored for their service
Obetz Village Council recognized Mayor
Greg Scott’s service to Obetz over the last
15 years and said their goodbyes to the outgoing
mayor.
During his time as Obetz mayor, Scott
helped spur the construction of Fortress
Obetz, added over 300 acres to the Obetz
park system and helped bring thousands of
jobs – and their income tax revenue – to
Obetz.
Council also passed ordinances renaming
two separate Obetz facilities after two
Obetz staff members who passed away this
fall.
Jim Wiley was a former village council
member who passed away in November.
Council posthumously honored him at the
meeting by renaming the newly-constructed
Obetz Sledding Hill to “Wiley Hill.”
Both Scott and Davisson agreed that
Wiley was “an advocate for the kids.”
“If you said, ‘We’re going to spend a $100
million to make an Obetz kid happy’, he
would have said, ‘Yes, let’s do it,’” Davisson
said. “Jim was a man of the people. He
wanted to be out there. He wanted to hear
what people thought and that’s going to be
hard to replace.”
Another staff member, Kevin Hall, former
superintendent of Obetz’s service
department, unexpectedly passed away
this fall just four weeks after his cancer
diagnosis, Davisson said.
To honor his years of work in the service
department, council named the Obetz service
complex the “Kevin M. Hall Service
Complex” to keep his legacy of kindness
and hard-working spirit alive in Obetz for
years to come.
Both of these places – the Kevin M.
Hall Service Complex and Wiley Hill – are
located right next to each other.
Council held a tribute to Wiley on
Thursday, Dec. 19 in the council chamber
at 4175 Alum Creek Drive.
“Both of them were tragic losses for us.
They are going to be impossible to replace
for us and both of them happened way too
quickly,” Davisson said.

out at the shelter
waiting for his forever

CW Human Services had a busy year in 2019
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
Canal Winchester Human Services has
come a long way from its humble beginnings
in 1955 when a local family lost their
home in a fire and the town responded by
forming Emergency Assistance and Adopt-
A-Family programs.
Over the course of 65 years, more programs,
such as senior transportation and
the food pantry, were added as need and
the population grew.
“The scope and depth at which we can
impact those in our immediate area has
made CW Human Services a hub of compassion
in Canal Winchester, meeting people
‘where they are in life’ in very practical
and meaningful ways,” said Canal
Winchester Human Services Director
Aletha Mullins.
Last year, staff changes found Mullins
promoted from operations manager to
director. Shortly thereafter, two new staff
members were hired to oversee daily operations
and provide communications and
grant writing support for the organization
as a whole.
“A specific challenge we faced in 2019
had to do with revamping the digital face of
our organization with a redesigned website
and more intentional use of media such as
Facebook,” said Mullins. “We are a hub of
“An ongoing challenge that any
non-profit organization faces on a
yearly basis is in finding the balance
between funding the various programs
within the organization while
also seeking and acquiring funds for
operational costs that are not always
provided for with program-specific
grants and donations.”
- Aletha Mullins, director
CW Human Services
so many events and activities with connections
to so many people, and we found we
needed to connect and communicate what
we are doing in more intentional and sometimes
real-time ways.”
In December, human services needed
children’s coats for its annual Adopt-A-
Family program, and, within 24 hours of
posting the need on the organization’s
Facebook page, more than 50 coats were
donated overnight in its drop box.
Emergency Assistance provides financial
help towards utility shut-off and
rent/mortgage eviction situations. In 2019,
21 families were provided assistance.
Senior Transportation fulfills a variety
of needs, from medical appointments to
personal trips. Group trips are scheduled
every week to four local groceries in the
community. In 2019, 4,123 one-way trips
were driven for a total of 33,284 miles.
The Community Food Pantry is a designated
Choice Pantry where clients have the
opportunity to shop for preferred foods
twice a month and up to a total of 30 meals
per family each month.
Under the umbrella of the food pantry,
low-income students within the school district
are also served through the Feeding
Our Future weekend backpack program,
which provides food to these students
throughout the school year by sending food
home each Friday.
In 2019, the Choice Pantry served 5,573
individuals and 77,147 meals were provided
overall.
Over 100 students were given weekend
food through the backpack program, for a
total of 2,492 meals.
Nearly 300 individuals and 72 families–including
208 children–were served
in 2019 through Community and Senior
Outreach, which assists the youngest to
the oldest within the Canal Winchester
community.
Programs include once-a-month senior
lunches at the Steube Community Center;
Tools for School, which assists students
throughout the year; and, Adopt-a-Family,
which provides gifts, clothing and all the
“fixin’s” for a family Christmas dinner.
“An ongoing challenge that any nonprofit
organization faces on a yearly basis
is in finding the balance between funding
the various programs within the organization
while also seeking and acquiring funds
for operational costs that are not always
provided for with program-specific grants
and donations,” said Mullins. “We have
found that many people use our programs,
but they don’t realize the full scope of what
we do across the board.”
At the end of 2019, Destination:Canal
Winchester held their first annual
Reindeer Run with proceeds directly benefiting
the Adopt-A-Family program.
Mullins said there are two other fundraisers
on the horizon that will also support
Adopt-A-Family and other outreaches as
well.
“In general, our new staff will be reaching
out to churches and organizations to
maintain and/or strengthen our partnerships
and potential impact in our community,”
said Mullins. “People can find out
about our organization, programs, and
events at www.cwhumanservices.org, at
facebook.com/cwhumanservices, or call

Township Police &
collaborative standards
The Madison Township Police
Department and the Hilliard Division of
Police implemented state standards established
by the Ohio Collaborative
Community-Police Advisory Board as part
of the state’s efforts to strengthen community
and police relations.
There are 449 agencies employing over
26,000 officers (representing over 75 percent
of all law enforcement officers in Ohio,
including most of Ohio’s metropolitan areas)
that are certified, and 57 that are in the
process of becoming certified by meeting
standards for the use of force, including deadly
force, and agency recruitment and hiring.
The standards were developed and
established by the Ohio Collaborative
Community-Police Advisory Board as part
of the state’s efforts to strengthen community
and police relations.
The state partnered with the Buckeye
State Sheriffs’ Association and the Ohio
Association of Chiefs of Police to help certify
Ohio’s nearly 900 law enforcement agencies
on a process to ensure that they are in
compliance with Ohio’s new standards.
Legacy of Love 5K
The Legacy of Love 5K is coming on
March 22 at noon to the Groveport
Recreation Center, 7370 Groveport Road.
Previously held in Bexley, the Legacy of
Love 5K is the primary fundraiser for the
Alexandria Leigh Goodwin Angel
Foundation (ALGA), an organization committed
to creating a more positive, loving
world through random good deeds.
The Foundation was created in the
memory of Alexandria “Alex” Goodwin, a
2014 graduate of Groveport Madison High
School and a student who had just finished
her sophomore year at Capital
University at the time of her unexpected
passing.
Sara Sherman, ALGA founder/board
chair, said Alex’s family and friends recognized
that the energy she created in the
world was still badly needed, and created
the ALGA Foundation in 2017 to continue
her spirit of kindness, and to encourage all
to build their own legacy of love by simply
performing random acts of goodness as the
opportunity arises.
To date, the foundation has given over
$4,000 in scholarships to Groveport
Madison High School graduates and
Capital University students, $1,000 to
Groveport Madison Human Needs, $400 to
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of
Franklin County, and will soon deliver 30
sleeping bags to local residents experiencing
homelessness.
According to Sherman, the Legacy of
Love 5K is a high energy event with lots of
music, awards, goodies, and raffle prizes.
You can participate by running, walking,
cheering and/or donating; and of course, by
sponsoring.

AUTHORIZING THE SALE AT PUBLIC AUCTION
OF REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE BOARD AND
NO LONGER NEEDED FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES
(Ohio Revised Code §3313.41)
WHEREAS, the Canal Winchester Local School District Board of Education (the "Board") is the owner of
approximately 2.50 acres of certain real property located at Groveport Road, Canal Winchester, Ohio, known
as Franklin County Auditor tax parcel number 184-002281-00 inclusive of all improvements located thereon
and more particularly described on the drawing attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Property”), which Property
the Board has determined to offer for sale at public auction in the manner
prescribed by Ohio Revised Code (“O.R.C.”) §3313.41.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board that:
Section 1. It is found and determined that the Property, which exceeds $10,000 in value, is no longer needed
for school purposes.
Section 2. The Board finds that there are no start-up community schools or collegepreparatory boarding
schools located within the territory of the School District and therefore the Board is not required to first offer
the Property to such entities pursuant to O.R.C. §3313.413(B). Further, there are no STEM/STEAM schools
in the District's territory entitled to notice of the sale under O.R.C. §3313.413(B) besides Canal Winchester
Middle School and Winchester Trail Elementary, but this Board is the governing board of those schools and
has determined the Property is not needed by such schools.
Section 3. The Property shall be presented for sale at public auction in the manner prescribed by O.R.C.
§3313.41 after giving at least thirty (30) days’ notice of the sale by publication in the Eastside Messenger, a
newspaper of general circulation in the School District, in accordance with O.R.C. §3313.41.
Section 4. The sale of the Property shall be made on the following terms and conditions and such other terms
and conditions as the Board may subsequently impose prior to conducting the auction:
a. The auction will be conducted beginning at 6:00 p.m. on February 10, 2020 and will be held at the
Education Center, Board Room, located at 100 Washington Street, Canal Winchester, Ohio.
b. The auction shall be subject to a right of the Board to reject all bids for the Property if it finds that no
acceptable bids have been made.
e. The Property will be sold on an “AS IS, WHERE IS” basis, with no representations or warranties of any
kind given by the Board.
Section 5. The Superintendent, Treasurer, and/or Board President are hereby authorized and directed to do
all things necessary and consistent with this resolution to accomplish the sale of the Property at public auction,
including paying reasonable costs incurred in connection therewith. The Board President and Treasurer shall
execute the deed conveying the Property to the applicable purchaser at closing if the high bid is accepted by
the Board.
