The executive director of the Ohio facilities construction commission may, on the executive director's own initiative or at the request of a state agency, contract with an energy or a water services company, architect, professional engineer, contractor, or other person experienced in the design and implementation of energy or water conservation measures for a report containing an analysis and recommendations pertaining to the implementation of energy or water conservation measures that result in energy, water, or wastewater cost savings, operating cost savings, or avoided capital costs for the institution. The report shall include estimates of all costs of such installations, including the costs of design, engineering, installation, maintenance, repairs, and debt service, and estimates of the energy, water, or wastewater cost savings, operating cost savings, and avoided capital costs created.

(A) In accordance with this section and section 156.03 of the Revised Code, the executive director of the Ohio facilities construction commission may, on the executive director's own initiative or at the request of a state agency, enter into an installment payment contract for the implementation of one or more energy or water saving measures. If the executive director wishes an installment payment contract to be exempted from Chapter 153. of the Revised Code, the executive director shall proceed pursuant to section 156.03 of the Revised Code.
(B) Any installment payment contract under this section shall provide that all payments, except payments for repairs and obligations on termination of the contract prior to its expiration, are to be a stated percentage of calculated energy, water, or wastewater cost savings, operating costs, and avoided capital costs attributable to the one or more measures over a defined period of time and are to be made only to the extent that those calculated amounts actually occur. No such contract shall contain either of the following:
(1) A requirement of any additional capital investment or contribution of funds, other than funds available from state or federal grants;
(2) In the case of a contract for a cogeneration system described in division (B)(8) of section 156.01 of the Revised Code, a payment term longer than twenty years, and, in the case of all other contracts, a payment term longer than fifteen years.
(C) Any installment payment contract entered into under this section shall terminate no later than the last day of the fiscal biennium for which funds have been appropriated by the general assembly and shall be renewed in each succeeding fiscal biennium in which any balance of the contract remains unpaid, provided that both an appropriation for that succeeding fiscal biennium and the certification required by section 126.07 of the Revised Code are made.
(D) Any installment payment contract entered into under this section shall be eligible for financing provided through the Ohio air quality development authority under Chapter 3706. of the Revised Code.

The systems of plane rectangular co-ordinates which have been established by the United States department of commerce for defining and stating the positions or locations of points on the surface of the earth within the state shall be known as the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1927 and the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1983. This chapter applies only to the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1927 and the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1983 and to the use of these systems.
Under these systems the state is divided into a north zone and a south zone.

As established for use in the south zone, the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1927 or the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1983 shall be named, and in any land description in which it is used it shall be designated, the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1927, south zone, or the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1983, south zone.

House Bill 134 - 116th General Assembly
The plane co-ordinates of a point on the earth's surface, to be used in expressing the position or location of such point in the appropriate zone of the systems specified in section 157.01 of the Revised Code, shall consist of two distances, expressed in United States survey feet and decimals of a United States survey foot when using the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1927, and expressed in metres and decimals of a metre when using the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1983. One of these distances, known as the "x co-ordinate," shall give the position in an east and west direction; the other, known as the "y co-ordinate," shall give the position in a north and south direction. These co-ordinates shall be made to depend upon and conform to plane rectangular co-ordinate values for the monumented points of the North American horizontal geodetic control network as published by the United States department of commerce and whose plane co-ordinates have been computed on the systems defined in this chapter. Any such station may be used for establishing a survey connection to either Ohio co-ordinate system.

Plane co-ordinates, used to reference and describe land boundary corners and made a part of the recorded description of such corners, shall be considered adequate evidence of the location of such corners in the absence of original physical monuments or other acceptable controlling evidence of original corner locations. In all instances where reference has been made to such co-ordinates in land surveys, the scale, sea level, and grid factors must also be stated for the survey lines used in computing ground distances and areas.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to require a purchaser or mortgagee of real property to rely wholly on a land description, any part of which depends exclusively upon either Ohio co-ordinate system.
