A motion was made to go into executive session by Regent Day to enter into closed session. The motion was seconded by Regent Long.

The motion passed by voice vote and the Board of Regents thereby returned to open session at 12:22 p.m. Chair Turner noted that no action was taken in executive session and only discussed those issues appropriate in closed session. Regent Diaz made comments regarding the strategic vision of the University and having a presence in downtown Richmond, as well as a movement to encourage entrepreneurialism amongst the faculty, and that the College of Business and Technology has housed a Center to assist with that. Over the last few years, there has been an increase in the patents that have been generated by the University's faculty. That is a good thing, and something that should be encouraged. Over the Board of Regents Special Meeting Minutes August 3, 2017 Page 2 �past couple of years, the Department of Chemistry has been working with the College of Business and Technology on its existing fermentation lab and its existing fennentation program. Over the past year to year and a half, they have been looking at ways to expand that. The lease that is before the Board would combine several of these strategic initiatives to create and enable the fermentation lab to expand and move into downtown in a way that suppo1is the academic mission of the University, while also fulfilling a strategic vision to have a presence downtown, which is part of the "Town and Gown" activity. Regent Diaz then made a motion to the Board to approve the lease, subject to any modifications of the tenn sheet the members of the Board would engage in offering. Chair Turner stated he would look to amend the motion to talk about a wholly-owned subsidiary for the specific purpose of this venture; the revision oflease terms as discussed in closed session; revision of the termination agreement as discussed in closed session; and the tenns and conditions of the maintenance cost; and clarification oflease hold improvements. He fu1iher stated those items with regard to the lease would also be contingent upon the entity obtaining the appropriate federal and state licenses and conditional use pe1mit, and a final review of its budget before executing the lease. Chair Turner proposed fu1iher amendment of the motion that as part of approval a committee would be formed for the purposes of the lease approval and budget approval, after they have an oppmiunity to get with the landlord and would suggest that Regent Diaz, Regent Long, and himself have the authority to act on behalf of the Board in executing the lease and moving forward. There being no comments by the Board, Regent Day seconded the motion. The motion unanimously passed by voice vote. Adjournment There being no further business, Chair Turner requested a motion to adjourn. A motion was made by Regent Diaz to adjourn the meeting. The motion was seconded by Regent Makinen. The motion passed by voice vote. The meeting of the Board of Regents was thereby adjourned at 12:28 p.m. ~tQn-i"(, 11 Dana Fohl, Secretary Date Board of Regents Special Meeting Minutes August 3, 2017 Page 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
