At a teleconference on Sunday evening Oct 17, 2004 the USCF Executive Board voted to move to Crossville, Tennessee by March 31, 2005. Here are the relevant two motions:

EB 05-14 (Brady and Schultz): Considering the AF4C Foundation has requested we delay our decision for two weeks and that AF4C has demonstrated good faith in the past by relieving USCF of the burden of our having to fund an annual US championship thus saving us a hundred plus thousand dollars annually, that when we failed to merge with AF4C we told them we still wanted to find ways to work with them, and that AF4C has stated they will know in two weeks whether they will buy the Liberty, NY building and as a result offer us free office space for five years with an option to buy at the end of that period, considering all this, we delay our relocation decision for two weeks. FAILED 3-4 In favor: Bauer, Brady and Schultz; Opposed: Marinello, Hanke. Shutt and Shaughnessy

EB 05-15 (Hanke): The USCF will move its national office to Crossville, Tennessee in accordance with the previous Executive Board vote in 2003. Negotiations with the Crossville bank and the architect will begin as soon as possible. USCF will complete its move into the free interim office space in Crossville by March 31, 2005. PASSED 4-1-2 In favor: Marinello, Hanke, Shutt and Shaughnessy; Opposed Brady; Abstain: Bauer and Schultz.
