Sep 13, 2021 City Council Meeting

NEXT IS NUMBER FIVE, WHICH IS APPROVAL OF MINUTES.

I'VE BEEN IN HUMOR FOR TWO AND A HALF MONTHS, SO A JOY TO BE HERE.

SO, UH, AS THIS IS TWO DAYS AFTER SEPTEMBER 11TH, I THOUGHT, UH, POPE BENEDICT MANY YEARS AGO VISITED GROUND ZERO AND GAVE A PRAYER THERE.

SO I THOUGHT WE'D JUST DO A VERSION OF THAT PRAYER.

PERFECT.

GOD OF LOVE, COMPASSION AND HEALING.

LOOK ON US PEOPLE OF MANY DIFFERENT FAITHS AND TRADITIONS.

WE ASK IN YOUR GOODNESS TO GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIGHT AND PEACE TO ALL WHO DIED ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001.

WE ASKED YOU IN YOUR COMPASSION TO BRING HEALING TO THOSE WHO SUFFER FROM INJURIES AND ILLNESS HEAL TO THE PAIN OF STILL GRIEVING FAMILIES AND ALL WHO LOST LOVED ONES IN THIS TRAGEDY, GIVE THEM STRENGTH TO CONTINUE THEIR LIVES WITH COURAGE AND HOPE, GOD OF PEACE.

BRING YOUR PEACE TO OUR VIOLENT WORLD.

PEACE IN THE HEARTS OF ALL MEN AND WOMEN AND PEACE AMONG THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH.

TURN TO YOUR TURN TO YOUR WAY OF LOVE.

THOSE WHOSE HEARTS AND MINDS ARE CONSUMED WITH HATRED, GOD OF UNDERSTANDING OVERWHELMED BY THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS TRAGEDY, WE SEEK YOUR LIGHT AND GUIDANCE.

AS WE CONFRONT SUCH TERRIBLE EVENTS GRANT THAT THOSE WHOSE LIVES WERE SPARED MAY LIVE SO THAT THE LIVES LOST HERE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN LOST IN VAIN COMFORT AND CONSOLE US, STRENGTHEN US IN HOPE AND GIVE US THE WISDOM ENCOURAGED TO WORK TIRELESSLY FOR A WORLD WHERE TRUE PEACE AND LOVE REIGN AMONG THE NATIONS IN THE END, IN THE HEARTS OF ALL.

AMEN.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[5. Approval Of Minutes]

I DON'T FIVE EIGHT THERE'S ONE SET OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FROM AUGUST THE 23RD, 2021, UH, FOR A NO CORRECTIONS, THOSE MENTAL STANDARDS APPROVED ANY QUESTIONS TO BE MADE.

SEE, NONE OF THOSE MINTS WILL SEEN AS APPROVED NEXT UP IS THAT NUMBER SIX, WHICH IS SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.

MR. ROGERS, THIRD ON THIS EVENING, MAYOR.

AND NEXT UP IS OUR NUMBER

[7. Citizens Comments]

SEVEN, WHICH ASSISTANTS? COMMENTS DO WE HAVE ANY OF THIS? WE HAVE TO THE SUIT.

MY WIFE SPECIFICALLY STRUGGLES.

UH, FIRST UP WE HAVE MR. KYLE AUSTIN, IF YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM GOOD EVENING, UH, THANK YOU FOR THE TIME AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

UM, I'M HERE TO DISCUSS AN ISSUE THAT, UH, THAT WE'RE HAVING WITH THE DISTURBING, THE PEACE CODE 5 0 9 0.08, SECTION B 10, UH, INVOLVING THE, UM, CONSTRUCTION SITE ON THE EAST END OF THE WINDBROOK NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, CONNECTED TO CARERS TRAILS.

UM, THE WAY THAT THE ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN, UM, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO OPERATE BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 7:00 AM AND 10:00 PM.

UH, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

UM, THE CITY ENGINEER HAS GIVEN THEM A PASS TO WORK ON SATURDAYS.

UM, ALTHOUGH THE, UH, DISTURBING THE PEACE ORDINANCE, UM, STATES THAT THE ENGINEER CAN, UH, UH, CAN ISSUE A PERIOD OF NOT MORE THAN THREE DAYS, UH, DURING AN EMERGENCY, UM, FOR THE SAFETY, UH, FOR PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERNS.

UH, BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEAR AND A HALF, TWO YEARS.

UM, IT'S A TWO-STAGE PROJECT AND THEY HAVE YET TO EVEN PUT THE ROADS IN ON THE SECOND HALF, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE GOING FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

UM, WE CAN'T HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY OVER FOR BARBECUES SITTING OUTSIDE, THINGS THAT WE LOVE TO DO WHEN WE'VE GOT TRACK HOES AND DUMP TRUCKS RUNNING UNTIL NINE, 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.

UM, AND WITH THE WORK BEGINNING AT 7:00 AM, THE TRUCKS ARE SHOWING UP AT SIX, THE CONCRETE TRUCKS ARE RUNNING AND SITTING THERE WAITING TO START POURING CONCRETE.

IT'S THEY MAY NOT BE TECHNICALLY WORKING AT SEVEN OR UNTIL SEVEN, BUT THEY ARE THERE AND DISTURBING THE PEACE WELL

[00:05:01]

BEFORE.

UM, I'VE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH, UH, THE CITY ENGINEER, RUSS BERGMAN.

UM, HE WAS ABLE TO GET THEM TO AGREE TO NOT START WORKING ON SATURDAYS UNTIL 9:00 AM.

THEY DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES.

THEY START AT SEVEN, THEY START AT SIX 30.

UM, HE TOLD ME THAT IF I HAVE ANY ISSUES, BECAUSE IT'S BEING THE WEEKEND, HE WON'T BE ABLE TO HELP ME TO CALL THE POLICE.

UM, I CALLED THE NON-EMERGENCY LINE SEVERAL TIMES.

THEY'VE SENT OFF, UM, OFFICERS OUT THERE TO TALK TO THEM AND ASK THEM TO PLEASE WAIT UNTIL NINE O'CLOCK.

THEY WAIT UNTIL THE OFFICERS LEAVE AND THEY START AGAIN.

AND THE OFFICERS SAY, NO, THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO.

WE CAN'T ISSUE A CITATION BECAUSE THEY HAVE A PERMIT FROM THE CITY ENGINEER.

SO, UM, ONE OF THE, UH, THE OFFICERS I SPOKE TO, UM, UH, SERGEANT MIKE EGAN, UM, SAID THAT HE WASN'T EVEN SURE WHY THE CITY ENGINEER HAS THE SOLE ABILITY TO GRANT THIS KIND OF, UH, OF EXCEPTION TO THE RULE.

IT DOESN'T GO IN FRONT OF ANYBODY ELSE.

NONE OF THE, NONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A SAY IN IT, IT COMES DOWN TO ONE PERSON THAT SAYS YES OR NO.

UM, AND ACTUALLY IN A CONVERSATION WITH MR. ROGERS, UM, A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, AND THEN EARLIER TODAY, UH, MR. BERGMAN HAS ALSO SUBMITTED A PROPOSAL TO MAKE SATURDAY A REGULAR WORKING DAY FOR THIS ORDINANCE.

SO THAT MEANS FROM 7:00 AM UNTIL 10:00 PM, MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO RUN WHATEVER HEAVY EQUIPMENT WITHIN 30, 40 YARDS OF OUR HOUSE, THE WAY, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY COVID HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WORKING FROM HOME.

SHE WORKS IN RETIREMENT PLANNING WITH AN OLDER CLIENTELE.

IT'S, IT'S HARDER TO HAVE PHONE CONVERSATIONS WHEN THERE'S JACKHAMMERS AND FRAMERS WORKING 40 YARDS BEHIND THE HOUSE.

I'M NOT TRYING TO STOP THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

I KNOW IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

IT'S GOOD FOR THE CITY, BUT THERE JUST HAS TO BE A BREAK.

I MEAN, THEY, RIGHT NOW, THEY HAVE MORE RIGHT TO OUR PEACE THAN WE DO MORE THAN 12 HOURS A DAY, 15 HOURS A DAY.

THEY CAN BE OUT THERE WORKING.

AND IF MR BERGMAN'S PROPOSAL GOES THROUGH, IT'D BE 15 HOURS A DAY, SIX DAYS A WEEK.

AND I'D APPRECIATE IF THAT CAN BE RECONSIDERED AND MAYBE LIMIT THE HOURS THAT THEY'RE ALLOWED TO WORK IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS, UH, RATHER THAN RELAX THE, UH, THE REGULATION.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION.

UM, SO SCOTT, IS IT, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S, UM, THAT'S COMING BEFORE US SOON? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT RUSS IS LOOKING AT? ARE YOU AWARE OF, UM, ATTEMPTING TO PASS FIRST? IT'S GOING TO A SHORT INTERVIEW COMMISSION.

AND FOR MORE DISCUSSION AND WE'LL HAVE MORE DISCUSSION ON OUR END AS WELL.

CAN I MEAN, I THINK THIS IS, I SEE THIS AS A QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUE FOR, FOR THOSE FOLKS, JUST AS, I MEAN, I, I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY THAT I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE IN THAT SITUATION.

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WOULD.

SO I DON'T, I, I, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I UNDERSTAND BUSINESS AND WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO, BUT I THERE'S GOTTA BE SOME GIVE AND TAKE AND SOME BALANCE THERE.

SO, UM, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT, SCOTT, IF YOU'D LOOK INTO THAT AND LET'S SEE IF WE CAN FIND SOME REPRIEVE FREE FOR THESE FOLKS THAT LIVE THERE, UM, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE RIGHT THERE BY YOUR HOME ALL THE TIME CLEAR THAT THAT'S A PROCESS THAT WILL THEY'LL EVENTUALLY GET AWAY FROM THERE, BUT I DON'T THINK ANYBODY UP THERE SHOULD BE EXPERIENCED IN THAT SIX DAYS A WEEK AT ALL HOURS OF DAY AND NIGHT.

SO LET'S, LET'S SEE IF WE CAN FIND A WAY TO WORK AROUND THAT.

WE'LL LOOK FURTHER.

COMPANY WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE HOURS WERE, AND THEN IT WAS ANOTHER, UH, UH, ENTITY THAT DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE REGULATIONS WERE.

THANK YOU, SIR.

I APPRECIATE YOU COMING AND AGAIN, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

UM, MR. AUSTIN, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE NOTE OF THE FACT THAT YOU'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ME FOR THE BETTER PART OF A YEAR NOW.

UM, AND WE, I HAVE BEEN FORWARDING THOSE TO OUR CITY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER.

AND, UM, WE HAD, I WAS UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING, UNDERSTANDING THAT THESE WOULD BE ADDRESSED LIKE, UM, UH, WITH THE FILING A POLICE REPORT OR THAT YOU NEEDED TO CALL THE POLICE.

I UNDERSTOOD ALL THE ANSWERS YOU'VE GOTTEN SO FAR, BUT TODAY WE'RE STILL DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUES.

SO SCOTT, I JUST WANT TO SAY FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THIS HAS TO BE ESCALATED QUICKLY AND, UH, TAKEN CARE OF NOW, BECAUSE AGAIN, THIS HAS BEEN A SERIES OF EMAILS.

I CAN GO DOWN THROUGH EVERY ONE OF THEM, AND WE HAVE TRIED TO GIVE YOU RESPONSES THAT WOULD WORK, AND OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE NOT WORKING RIGHT.

THE CITY HAS ASKED ME TO REACH OUT TO THE POLICE AND THE POLICE HAVE RESPONDED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN DIRECTED TO SEND ME BACK TO AT ONE POINT, I WILL SAY THAT MR. AUSTIN TOLD ME THAT INSTEAD OF IT BEING THE DEVELOPER, HE WAS DEALING WITH THE PLUMBING COMPANY WHO WAS, THERE ARE NONE A CEMENT

[00:10:01]

SO IT'S NOT FAIR FOR, UM, UH, MR. AUSTIN TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS WHEN HE IS COMING TO THE CITY AND ASKED HIM FOR SOME RELIEF ON THIS.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S, THAT'S JUST MY STATEMENT.

I, I APPRECIATE YOU COMING TONIGHT.

WE HAVE MR. BRANDON DODGE, PLEASE COME TO THE BOARD.

HEY, THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

UM, I LIKE DEAN MY NAME AND ADDRESS AND ALL THAT.

NO LONGER HAVE TO GIVE YOUR ADDRESS.

OKAY, GREAT.

WE GOT YOUR NAME.

HI, BRANDON DODGE.

NOBODY'S COMING FOR YOU, RIGHT.

UM, SO WE HHD USA.

A FEW OF US HERE REPRESENTED HHS GSA.

UH, WE ARE, UM, KIND OF WHEN I ANNOUNCED THAT WE DO WANT TO BRING BACK YOUTH BASEBALL TO, UH, THE CITY HUBER HEIGHTS, UM, AND JUANITA FIELDS AND, UH, CLOUD PARK.

UM, WE JUST, UH, LITERALLY ABOUT AN HOUR AGO, MET WITH JAN AND SHE, UH, TURNED OVER THE KEYS.

SO WE ARE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

UM, WE HAVE THE VOLUNTEERS, WE PROBABLY HAVE EIGHT TO 10 VOLUNTEERS.

OF COURSE WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR MORE, UM, COACHES AND UMPIRES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO, UM, WE JUST WANT TO BRING THAT BACK TO, TO THE CITY AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE COUNCIL OF PARKS AND REC AND, UH, OF COURSE, UH, JOSH KING THOUGH THE MANAGER AND MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT AND, UM, GETTING OUR YOUTH SPORTS GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

UM, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CHALLENGE.

AND I KNOW, I THINK I'VE SAID TO THAT.

I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THE H THE GSA, THE SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL OVER THE YEARS IS BECAUSE OF THE VOLUNTEERS.

YES, YOU GUYS HAVE HAD SUCH AN ACTIVE GROUP OF, OF PARENTS.

AND I THINK SOME OF YOU, THE KIDS HAVE ALREADY GRADUATED AND GONE, BUT YOU STILL ARE VERY ACTIVE IN THAT ORGANIZATION.

AND THE, THE VOLUNTEERS ARE WHAT REALLY MAKES THAT ASSOCIATION WORK.

SO I'D LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT YOU GUYS CAN DO WITH, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH, WITH BASEBALL.

UM, IF YOU GUYS PUT THE EFFORT INTO BASEBALL IS WHAT YOU'VE DONE IN SOFTBALL.

I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT NOT BEING SUCCESSFUL.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

BRANDON, THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.

UM, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE FIELDS, UM, RECENTLY, SO, UH, HOW ARE THE FIELDS IN PREPARATION FOR NEXT YEAR? THEY ARE GRASS.

UM, BUT WE KNOW ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, 7, 8, 9, AND 10, JUST, IT WAS JUST RENOVATED.

UM, WE DON'T SEE THAT BEING TOO BIG OF A OBSTACLE, UH, FAIRLY CHEAP TO THE CITY.

UM, WE DO, THERE ARE TWO TEMPORARY BACKSTOPS.

WE WERE JUST STANDING THERE WITH JAN LOOKING AT SOME THINGS, AND, UH, THERE'S TWO TEMPORARY BACKSTOPS THAT ARE LITERALLY WAITING, SO, OKAY.

THAT'LL BE ONE OF OUR OBSTACLES.

AND THE FIELDS THAT MANITA WHERE YOU GUYS ARE AWARE OF THAT? YES.

SO IT'S KIND OF THE SAME BOAT, BUT A LITTLE BIT MORE CLOUD, JUST DUE TO THE SIZE, YOU KNOW? OKAY.

UM, I GOT YOUR EMAIL.

I RESPONDED TO IT.

UM, COULD I GET YOU TO GET A LIST AND YOU COULD SEND THAT TO OUR CITY MANAGER, SCOTT FOR WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

UH, THE LONG-TERM PLANNING, MID-TERM PLANNING, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

UM, WE HAVE BUDGET COMING UP AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO US JUST YET.

HAS IT? NO, I THINK WE'VE EVEN BEEN ASKED FOR INPUT YET.

NO, I TH I THINK THIS IS, UH, A SITUATION NOW THAT WE'RE KNOWING THAT HDSA IS GOING TO DO REC BASEBALL.

AND IF WE KNOW THOSE FIELDS, AREN'T IN THE RIGHT SHAPE, WE'VE ALREADY, WE HAVE A CONTRACT OR WE'VE GOT SOMETHING THAT'S ON THE AGENDA AT NIGHT TO DISCUSS FOR MERCER.

UM, COULD WE AMEND THAT TO, TO TAKE CARE OF THE F THE FOUR TO DO THE SAME THING TOO? I MEAN, IF WE'RE, IF THEY'RE GOING TO COME AND DO THEM ANITA FIELDS IN THE FIRST FIELD, CAN THEY DO THE, CAN WE JUST ADD THE OTHER FOUR FIELDS TO THAT? YES, WE CAN.

UM, I'D ALSO LIKE TO TALK MORE ABOUT WHAT ADDITIONAL WORK BEYOND FIELDS, CAUSE I, AS YOU MENTIONED, BACKSTOPS, UM, AND THINGS LIKE THAT, UM, THAT WE WOULDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION FOR TONIGHT.

UM, BUT, UH, WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT, ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO NOW TO PREPARE FOR NEXT YEAR.

UM, AND WHAT THOSE LONG-TERM GOALS ARE.

SO HE HAD, OH, SORRY.

JUST ONE MORE COMMON THING.

SO, UM, WE'LL FIND WE, I MEAN, WE COULD HAVE MONEY IN THE BUDGET TO DO IT THIS YEAR.

[00:15:02]

I'M SORRY.

I SAID IN THE BUDGET, I MEANT WE HAVE THE MONEY.

WE COULD DO IT THIS YEAR, AND THEN WE COULD ALSO ADD ITEMS INTO THE BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR.

UM, SO THE SOONER WE GET THAT, AND LIKE I WAS MENTIONING, WE HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN ASKED FOR COUNCIL INPUTS YET, AND WE'RE LOOKING INTO SEPTEMBER AND WE USUALLY APPROVE THE BUDGET NOVEMBER, DECEMBER FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

UM, I KNOW YOU'RE BUSY, I'M SURE.

BUT, UH, IF YOU CAN GET THAT TO OUR CITY MANAGER, CAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT SCOTT , BUT HE LOVES BASEBALL.

SO, UH, AND BEING AN ENGINEERING BACKGROUND, HE CAN RELATE TO A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE NEEDS.

WE HAVEN'T USED THAT.

AND JUST LIKE EVERYTHING THAT YOU DON'T USE, IT FALLS INTO A STATE OF DISREPAIR AND WE CERTAINLY WANT TO, UH, HELP OUT OUR ORGANIZATIONS.

AND I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE IN AS A COUNCIL, A REALLY GOOD POSITION TO HELP OUT BASEBALL.

AND OF COURSE, SOFT BITES.

I SAID BASEBALL, BUT SOFTBALL TO ME IS NUMBER ONE ANYWAY, BECAUSE I GOT TWO GIRLS.

BUT, UM, BUT THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

THANKS GLENN.

FIRST I WANTED TO S BRANDON AND SAY THANKS TO YOU, CHRIS AND EVERYONE ELSE FOR STEPPING UP TO TAKE OVER LITTLE LEAGUE OR TAKE CARE OF LITERALLY, UM, PRETTY NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN A BIG PROPONENT FOR PARKS AND FOR SPORTS AND YOUTH SPORTS SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, UM, I'VE COACHED MANY YEARS IN LITTLE LEAGUE, YOU KNOW, SO, UH, I AM ALL ON BOARD WITH DOING WHATEVER WE CAN TO IMPROVE THESE FIELDS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

UH, THAT'S KIND OF BEEN MY PUSH OVER THE YEARS AND I'M FULLY BEHIND YOU GUYS ON THIS.

I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO JUMP IN AND, AND, UH, PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT FOR UPGRADES AND MAKING SURE WE'VE GOT PROPER FIELDS FOR ALL OUR KIDS.

SO LET ME KNOW IF YOU GET ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO FOR YOU.

UH, IS THERE A QUESTION FOR SCOTT? IS THERE ANY REASON WHY WE COULDN'T GO FORWARD WITH THIS LEGISLATION AND, AND THEN AMANDA, TO ADD SOME THINGS LATER? SO, UM, ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT IS FOR EVERYBODY WATCHING TO, UM, IS FOR, UM, REDOING THE FIELD, THE TWO FIELDS THAT MENDIETA AND ONE FIELD AT CLOUD PARK, THERE'S A, THE LARGEST FIELD AT CLOUD PARK THAT NEEDS SOME WORK.

SO THAT'S, WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA TO MOVE FORWARD WITH.

WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT TONIGHT TO GET THAT ON THE BOOKS, TO GET THAT PROCESS MOVING.

AND WE CAN COME BACK AT THE NEXT WORK SESSION WITH ANOTHER PACKAGE, WE'LL SAY, OR WE CAN AMEND TONIGHT, PUT A NUMBER TO THE FIELD WORK WEEK.

WHAT WE HAVE IS, UM, GENERAL FIELD COSTS THAT COULD BE INCREASED FOR THOSE FOUR FIELDS OUT CLOUD PARK FOR JUST THAT PORTION.

AND THEN COME BACK WITH ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT WE DISCUSS AND COME UP WITH THAT, OUR NATIVE.

SO IT'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS WE COULD DO IT.

SO IF WE WANT TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD WITH ALL THE FIELDS THAT CLOUD PARK AND MENINO FIELD, WE CAN, UH, ADD TO THE EXISTING ONE FOR THE FIELD, WORK, THE DIRT, THE SODDING, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, AND THEN ANYTHING LIKE BACKSTOPS AND DUGOUTS AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS WE CAN DISCUSS AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THOSE NEEDS ARE.

WITH THE DUGOUT WORK, UH, WHEN I WAS INVOLVED IN THAT AS WELL.

RICHARD, THANK YOU, MARY RANDON.

YES, SIR.

I'VE UH, KIND OF, UH, BEEN MADE AWARE OF THESE CONVERSATIONS IN THEIR EARLY STARTS AND I'M GLAD TO SEE IT'S A CO COME ALL THE WAY TO THE FULL THROUGH.

I KNOW WHEN I SPOKE WITH, UH, WITH JAYDA A WHILE BACK, UH, SHE SAID THAT YOU GUYS SAID, UH, ENGAGE IN SOME INITIAL CONVERSATION AND, AND, UH, I, I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER FOR THAT TO INCLUDING THE EQUIPMENT, ALL OF THE, UH, YOU KNOW, FIELDS AND JUST AN AMAZING JOB FINALLY GETTING FROM THERE.

UM, OBVIOUSLY OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS WITH COVEN AND SOME VOLUNTEER ISSUES, I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT OUR YOUTH SPORTS IN OUR COMMUNITY, UM, AS, AS MOVING IN THE RIGHT WAY AND THE RIGHT HANDS.

UM, I CAN'T COMMEND YOU, CHRIS, LARRY, JESSICA, AND YOUR ENTIRE BOARD ENOUGH FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE FOR YOU SPORTS IN THIS COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY AT CLAUDE PARK, PUTTING YOUR BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS INTO THAT.

UM, HAVING KNOWN THOSE CONVERSATIONS, SENIOR EMAIL TRAFFIC, DOING SOME, SOME, UH, LEGWORK MYSELF, UM, PRIOR TO YOUR COMMENTS, UH, IT WAS MY INTENTION, UH, TO AMEND ITEM Q WITH A, NOT TO EXCEED OF $80,000 TO INCLUDE ALL FOUR FIELDS DOWN THERE, UM, AND WAVING THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING, ALLOWING THE CITY MANAGERS TO GET THIS WORK DONE ALONG WITH JOSH KING, UH, AND QUICK, FAST, AND IN A HURRY.

I, UM, I THINK THAT IS DEFINITELY THE MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO NOT ONLY GET MY NITA DONE FIELD ONE AND THE REPAIRS NEEDED, UH, DOWN THERE FOR THOSE FOUR FIELDS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN USED IN SEVERAL YEARS.

ADDITIONALLY, THE BACKSTOPS AND THE FENCING, THE DUGOUTS, I THINK THOSE NUMBERS ARE ADEQUATE FROM THE NUMBERS YOU PRESENTED PREVIOUSLY, UH, THAT WE'VE HAD

[00:20:01]

BRANDON, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

I WISH YOU GUYS NOTHING BUT SUCCESS.

IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT.

NINE, WHICH IS A CITY MANAGER REPORT.

THANK YOU, MICHELLE MARK.

YEAH, I'LL BE SECONDING RICHARD'S MOTION BECAUSE MY QUESTION WAS SCOTT, COULD WE AMEND THE MOTION TO JUST ADD A, NOT TO EXCEED THEM OUT? AND DO YOU HAVE COMMENT ON THE 80? DO YOU KNOW IF THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH OR I DON'T HAVE AN ACTUAL QUOTE ON THOSE, BUT TAKING THE SAME NUMBER AS THE FIELD OVER AT MANITA AS THESE FIELDS? I W THE THREE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TOTAL IS ABOUT 45,000, UM, IN EACH OF THE SMALLEST FIELD, WHICH IS WHAT THOSE OTHER FIELDS OF CLOUD WOULD BE, ARE JUST UNDER 11,000 EACH.

SO THAT PUTS IT UP AROUND 90,000, UM, AS A, NOT TO EXCEED TIGHT NUMBER, IF ALL THE SAME WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE ON THOSE.

SO I WAS GOING TO GO WITH 90,000, IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE TO THE REST OF COUNCIL, I'M SURE IT IS TO MR. SHAWL.

AND IF HE DOES ALL, I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO SECOND THAT I WOULD SAY DEFINITELY THAT THE REASON I, I GOT THE 80 IS BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE FIELDS OVER THERE ARE GRASS AND FIELDS.

OBVIOUSLY THEY WOULDN'T NEED A LOT OF DIRT, UH, BUT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION SOME OF THE BACKSTOP AND OTHER ITEMS, I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM, UH, AT 90, UM, WITH THE, UH, CITY MANAGERS, UH, SUGGESTION.

YEAH, OUR, OUR FIRST PLAN OF ATTACK WOULD BE SAFETY ITEMS. OF COURSE.

UM, IT'S THE TWO FIELDS THAT WERE PARTIALLY GRASS AND FIELD GONNA CONVERT THOSE AND ALL DIRT, UM, JUST EASIER TO MAINTAIN AND SAFER FOR THE KIDS.

SO THOSE ARE THE TOP THINGS THAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING IN.

THE, YOU KNOW, THE SAFETY ITEMS ON THE BACKSTOPS, FENCES DOWN THE SIDES FOR OVERTHROWS FOR OUR PARENTS, BECAUSE SURE THEY DON'T WANT TO GET HIT WITH A BASEBALL.

UM, AND, UH, WE CAN PROBABLY GET SOME OF THE DIRT, YOU KNOW, WE'LL CHIP IN, WHEN IT GETS TO THE ITEM ON THE AGENDA, THEN WE'LL LOOK FOR AN AMENDMENT AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S GOOD SUPPORT.

GOOD.

THANKS.

THANKS, BRANDON.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

ANYTHING ELSE? THAT'S IT.

AND NEXT UP IS NUMBER EIGHT SYSTEMS ORIGINAL TO SPEAK ON A SPECIFIC ENGINE ITEM.

WE HAVE NOT NECESSARILY AMERICAN.

UM, THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE INVOLVED IN SETTING THAT UP AND PUTTING THINGS TOGETHER.

SO, UH, I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THAT PLUS THANK ALL THE VENDORS FOR COMING OUT AND PARTICIPATING AND ALL THE ATTENDEES WHO CAME OUT TO ENJOY EVERYTHING.

SO, UM, SAY THANKS TO EVERYBODY FOR THAT, UH, NEXT, UH, TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW.

SO THERE ARE STAFFING ISSUES HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF THAT.

UH, THEY ARE ABLE TO, UM, HAVE PEOPLE WALK IN THE DOORS AGAIN.

AND THEN ALSO, UM, IF YOU RECALL, THIS HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WHEN MR. BERGMAN CAME FORWARD ABOUT THE TESTING OF THE WELL DOWN AT THE RIP RAP PLANTS, WE ARE TO THAT POINT, HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

UM, CAUSE IT'S AT THAT LATE SUMMER, EARLY FALL TIME PERIOD THEM.

SO FOR THAT, WE DO HAVE TO CLOSE REP WRAP ROAD.

UM, SO THE, A PRESS RELEASE WILL BE GOING OUT ON THAT, BUT THAT IS SCHEDULED TO START NEXT MONDAY.

AND IT WILL BE FOUR TO FIVE DAYS, UH, FOR THAT TEST.

UH, SO, UH, LOOK FOR THAT PRESS RELEASE.

WE'LL MAKE SURE EVERYBODY GETS THAT.

AND THEN IT GETS POSTED OUT TO THE PUBLIC AND PROPERLY SIGNED, UH, AROUND THE AREA, UM, AHEAD OF TIME.

UH, SO PEOPLE CAN MAKE PLANS, MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE SIGNS ARE UP PRIOR TO THE WEEKEND, UM, SO THAT THEY CAN THINK ABOUT OVER THE WEEKEND, UM, IF THEY HAVE TO REROUTE THEMSELVES, THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR TONIGHT.

GOOD.

THANK YOU, SCOTT.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS FOR SCOTT, DON? THANKS MAURICE.

SCOTT WILL A RIP RAP ROAD BE CLOSED.

I'M ASSUMING BETWEEN THE GATES OR WE'LL BE CLOSING THE GATES AND YEAH.

SO ON THE ONE SIDE THERE'LL BE CLOSING THE GATES AND THEN, UH, WE'LL SEE, ON THE OTHER END, UM, I'LL CHECK WITH MR. BERGMAN ABOUT HOW FAR DOWN, IF THERE'S ANY OTHER ACCESS POINTS THAT PEOPLE NEED TO GET TO, WE'LL LEAVE AS MUCH OPEN AS POSSIBLE COMING FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION, BUT THE GATED AREA, UM, OR TAYLORSVILLE MAKES THE BAND IS WHERE WE'LL CLOSE.

EXCELLENT.

[ A Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Enter Into A Contract For Baseball Field Renovation At Thomas Cloud Park And Monita Field Park And Waiving The Competitive Bidding Requirements. (first reading)]

SCOTT, THIS IS AN ITEM.

THAT'S ONE.

WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF DISCUSSION AT, DURING THE CITIZENS COMMENT PORTION.

UH, THIS IS TO, UH, DO WORK ON TWO FIELDS AT MANITA PARK AND THEN THE LARGE BASEBALL DIAMOND AT CLOUD PARK.

AND WE WOULD LIKE TO ADD THE FOUR ADDITIONAL, UH, LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL FIELDS AT CLOUD PARK.

AND WE WOULD RECOMMEND TO AMEND THIS LEGISLATION, UH, TO CHANGE IT TO A $90,000 NOT TO EXTINCT TO EMOTION, UM, BEFORE WE MEG THE AMENDMENT, UM, UH, I THINK WHAT SCOTT'S REFERRING TO WOULD BE IN SECTION ONE TO CHANGE IT FROM 45,000 TO 90,000.

UM, I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST, UH, CHANGING THE, UH, FIRST WHEREAS STATEMENT WHERE IT CURRENTLY, UH, STATES THE THREE FIELDS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE RENOVATED, UH, THAT SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE NEW FIELDS AS PART OF THE AMENDMENT AS WELL.

THAT'S FIELD 7, 8, 9, 10,

[00:50:02]

CORRECT.

THAT'S ON, WHAT'S CALLED 7, 8, 9, 10.

RICHARD, THANK YOU, MIRROR.

UH, I HAPPILY MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND.

LET'S PICK HER.

I'LL SECOND IT, BUT I THOUGHT I MADE THE FIRST MOTION, BUT IT'S OKAY.

A MOTION AND A SECOND, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY.

ONLY, AND I HAVE IS THIS, UM, I WOULD SAY SO IF WE'RE ADMITTING ALL THESE FIELDS AND WE'RE DOING THIS AND WE HAVE, UM, SOFTBALL SAYING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE OVER AND BRING BACK KIND OF THE REC LEAGUE, THEN THAT BRINGS INTO THE ISSUE, THIS, THE AGREEMENT WITH POWER SPORTS.

I MEAN, I DON'T THINK WE NEED THAT NOW, BEING THAT WE ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE SOFTBALL IS GOING TO BE MANAGING TO BRING THEM BACK A REC LEAGUE.

UM, SO UTILIZE ALL THOSE FIELDS.

I THINK IT WOULD BE, UH, THOSE RESPONSIBILITY ON OUR PART TO DO, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A GROUP WHO IS DOING, I MEAN, I THINK WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, WHAT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE YOUTH, THAT'S HERE IN THE CITY RATHER THAN MOVING TO AN OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION FROM, FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

SO, UM, THAT MIGHT NOT BE AN ISSUE HERE BECAUSE WE DON'T TYPICALLY SEE THOSE CONTRACTS, HOW WE LEASE THOSE FIELDS, BUT I JUST KINDA WANT TO GET THAT OUT THERE THAT I DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARY NOW TO DEAL WITH AN OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION.

WE HAVE, UM, CLEARLY A SUCCESSFUL GROUP.

WHAT THEY'VE DONE WITH GIRLS SOFTBALL.

WHO'S GOING TO BE MANAGING A REC LEAGUE FOR BASEBALL.

I JUST DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARY.

SO I WANT TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION AND TALK ABOUT THAT.

YES, RICHARD, THANK YOU, MARY, SINCE YOU OPENED THE DOOR ON THAT, UM, UH, IN LIGHT OF THE, UH, NEW INFORMATION, UM, UH, AND, UH, THE, UH, PREVIOUS, UH, UM, CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN MYSELF, THE CITY MANAGER AND THE PARKS MANAGER, UM, I WILL BE REACHING OUT TO CITY STAFF IN THE MORNING TO ENGAGE POWER SPORTS AND, UH, AND OTHER FIELDS, NOT ONLY IN OUR, IN OUR COMMUNITY, BUT IN OUR REGION, UH, THAT MAY BE ABLE TO, TO SUIT THEIR NEEDS.

UM, THAT IS ENLIGHTA.

AND AFTER SOME ADDITIONAL CONVERSATION WITH MR. DODGER, MR. BRINKMAN AND ITS BOARD, UM, ON OTHER BASEBALL FIELDS, AS WE ARE PLENTY FULL HERE IN THE COMMUNITY OF HEBREW RIDES, UH, FIELDS THAT THEY MAY NOT BE USING AT THIS TIME, UM, AT, UH, AS, SINCE 2016, IT HAS BEEN THIS COUNCIL'S WILLINGNESS TO UPGRADE ALL OF OUR SPORTS AMENITIES.

I'M MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE ALL INCLUSIVE FOR ALL INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS.

MA'AM YEP.

I THINK I'LL JUST SAY I'M EXTREMELY HAPPY THAT COUNCILS ARE SUPPORTIVE ALL THIS.

UH, I AM ANXIOUS TO SEE WHAT, UM, THOSE FIELDS LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED.

UH, COULDN'T BE HAPPIER THAT WE HAVE AN ORGANIZATION AND GIRLS SOFTBALL WHO'S ON THE STEP UP AND TURN KIND OF OUR BASEBALL PROGRAM, UH, UH, BACK OVER TO WHAT, TO WHAT IT SHOULD BE.

I KNOW THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS HAS BEEN ROUGH FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT REASONS, BUT, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, ON THE HEELS OF JUST HAVING OUR VOLUNTEER DINNER, I THINK THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHEN SOME MOTIVATED PEOPLE GET TOGETHER AND VOLUNTEER, UH, WHAT, WHAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED.

SO I'M REAL HAPPY TO SEE THE COUNCIL SUPPORTS THIS AND LET'S MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

APPRECIATE IT.

I THINK THIS IS WORKED OUT REALLY WELL.

MR. WEB, THANK YOU.

MA'AM UM, TO PIGGYBACK ON WHAT RICHARD'S, UH, JUST, UH, UM, MY, MY PERSONAL FEELINGS WITH REGARD TO POWER SPORTS, OR ANY TYPE OF CONTRACT WITH POWER SPORTS, UM, IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE FOR CITY ON PROPERTIES, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT COME BEFORE COUNCIL IS A DISCUSSION RATHER THAN JUST A BLANKET APPROVAL OF SOME FACILITY, SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE CITY.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT IF WE'RE GOING TO ENTER INTO A LONG-TERM OR MULTI-YEAR LEASE WITH ANY ENTITY THAT IT SHOULD BE BEFORE COUNCIL, AS WELL, AT LEAST AS A DISCUSSION ITEM.

I KNOW THAT'S YOUR WHEELHOUSE SCOTT, BUT I THINK, UM, COUNCIL NEEDS TO BE APPRAISED OF THAT AND BE KEPT ON TOP OF ANY POTENTIAL LISA'S DONE WITH AN OUTSIDE ENTITY.

I'D AGREE WITH THAT.

I'D LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

COME BACK BEFORE COUNCIL, IF WE'RE CONSIDERING LONG-TERM WITH A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION, ANYTHING BRANDON, UM, ARE THERE, IS THIS GOING TO ENCOMPASS EVERY FIELD THAT'S IN, IN CLOUD PARK OR WOULD THERE BE ANY LEFT ON YOU? YEAH.

EVERY FIELD AT CLOUD PARK WOULD NOT ACCEPT.

WE WOULDN'T USE FIELD ONE.

WE'D LIKE WE WOULD LIKE TO GET FIELD ONE, BUT WE UNDERSTAND THERE'S OTHER PLANETS.

WHAT IS THAT? DO YOU KNOW? UM, THE FIELD ONE IS NOT BEEN USED IN SCOTT.

UH, SO, UM, MR. KING HAS INFORMED ME THAT THROUGH DISCUSSIONS LIKE THAT, THE BETHEL SCHOOLS, THERE'S A TEAM FROM THE BETHEL SCHOOLS THAT IS LOOKING TO UTILIZE THAT FIELD.

UM, SOMETHING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN HOUSE IS, IS THERE A WAY OF SHARING, UH, FOUR TYPES OF USES, SO WE'D LIKE TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.

ON THAT FIELD IF IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? YES.

AND THAT'S GOOD.

UM, BECAUSE BETHEL'S WITH US BASICALLY.

UM, BUT DO WE NEED TO DO ANY UPGRADES

[00:55:01]

AND THAT, THAT WAS PART OF THE LEGISLATION IS FOR UPGRADES ON THAT? YES.

THAT'S THE ONE YOU CALL THE BIG FIELD.

AND I THINK WAS GREAT THAT BETHEL HAS REACHED OUT AND I USE THAT FIELD.

I MEAN, WE HAVE A HUGE POPULATION OF CARROT SHELLS GOES TO BETHEL SCHOOLS.

THOSE ARE ALL HUMAN RIGHTS KIDS, YOUR RIGHTS RESIDENTS.

SO I'M, I'M THRILLED THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER GROUP WITHIN THE CITY THAT, THAT, THAT HAS ACCESS TO THAT.

SO I THINK, I THINK THAT'S ONLY FAIR THAT WE, YOU KNOW, WE AGREED TO LET THOSE KIDS USE THAT FOOD.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SO YOU GUYS WILL STILL HAVE, SO YOU, SO SOFTBALL USES 2, 3, 4, 5, AND SIX CURRENTLY, CORRECT? YES, SIR.

AND THEN THE BASEBALL WILL NOT HAVE THE TWO FIELDS THAT MENDIETA PLUS FIELD ONE AND THEN 7, 8, 9, 10.

IS THAT PLUS FIELD ONE BETHEL, BUT I'M JUST BEING FOR BASEBALL IN GENERAL.

THAT'S WHAT WE'LL BE USING FIELD ONE.

AND THEN, UH, SO REC OR THE FIELD, WHATEVER THE ORGANIZATION YOU GUYS COME UP WITH, THERE WILL HAVE TO HAVE SIX FIELDS FOR BASEBALL FOR CLASS.

AND IF IT'S LIKE HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS, OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE GOING TO BE OUT OF SEASON PRETTY EARLY SUMMER.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO RIGHT.

SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO USE IT.

UM, ONE OF THE THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK IS MAYBE A LONGER TERM LEASE.

I THINK WE'RE ON A YEARLY LEASE RIGHT NOW.

WE'D LIKE TO SEE LIKE A FIVE OR 10 YEAR, IF WE'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING MONEY BACK INTO, YOU KNOW, THE FIELDS WE'D LIKE TO HAVE SOME SECURITY.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A DISCUSSION FOR YOU GUYS OR US TO TAKE IT TO THE PARKS AND REC BOARD.

I MEAN, THAT'S, I'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS.

LONG-TERM LEASE FOR, FOR SOFTBALL FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

AND QUITE HONESTLY, I'M STILL NOT SURE WHY WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT YET.

I MEAN, I KNOW THERE'S JUST BEEN LOTS OF DIFFERENT DISCUSSIONS AND FIELDS USAGE, AND I MEAN THAT, YOU KNOW, ALL THAT STUFF HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR PROBABLY 20 YEARS.

SO I THINK IT'S TIME THAT WE JUST FIX IT.

SCOTT, WHAT WAS THE PROPOSAL FOR THE OTHER, UH, ORGANIZATION? A FIVE-YEAR TERM AT $200 A FIELD.

AND I KNOW THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO THE SOFTBALL GROUP BEFORE, SO THAT'S IN YOUR ASKING FOR FIVE YEARS AS WELL.

BUT I'M GOING TO PASS A MOTION TONIGHT AND DO THAT.

IF WE CAN DO THAT.

WE'D LIKE MORE, BUT I MEAN, WE, YOU KNOW, WE'D LIKE TO BE EVENTUALLY LIKE TO GET GRANTS AND DO YOU KNOW SOME BIGGER TOURNAMENTS DOWN THERE.

AND, UM, SO THE LONG-TERM LEASE ENABLES YOU GUYS TO GO AFTER.

I THINK I, SO I'VE BEEN HERE AND IT WAS, YOU GUYS GOT TO THE GREENS.

UM, I FORGET HER NAME, BUT SHE WOULD SEND US, THEY WERE, SOME OF THEM WERE 10, SOME WERE FIVE, BUT YOU KNOW, IT CAN'T BE SHARED SPACE.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT.

CAN WE START WITH A FIVE-YEAR LEASE TONIGHT AND THEN LIKE NEXT YEAR WE CAN, WE CAN MODIFY SOMETHING.

IS THAT GOOD FOR YOU GUYS? YEAH.

WHAT WOULD BE THE PROPER, WELL, FIRST WE HAVE THAT MOTION.

HE WANTS TO TALK ANYTIME.

ANYTIME THE LAWYER RAISES HIS HAND, GOT GOTTA BE LIKE, OH, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

THIS IS WHERE IT GETS REAL SLOW DOWN.

JUST KEEP IT DOWN FOR ME.

CAN WE USE THEM FOR SOCCER INSTEAD? AND DAWN, JUST TO THAT'S AN OLD TRICK.

YOU DISTRACT THEM, THEN YOU HIT THEM WITH IT.

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM WITH GETTING INTO THE LEASE.

I'M JUST NOT SURE PROCEDURALLY IF THAT'S A CONSOLE FUNCTION OR PART OF THE DIRECTOR OF PARKS.

SO I THINK COUNCIL HAS MADE IT CLEAR WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO.

WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND WE'LL ACT ACCORDINGLY.

AND IF IT IS SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES COUNCIL ACTION.

WE CAN BRING IT BACK TO FORMALLY DO IT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH A MOTION IF THAT'S NOT THE PROPER COURSE OF ACTION AND JUST PUT IT ON AND MAKE IT THE SAME TIME FOR THE AGENDA FOR MONDAYS OR FOR TUESDAYS WORK SESSION.

AND THEN IF WE DON'T NEED IT, THEN WE CAN JUST, WE CAN SCRATCH THAT ALL, ADD IT ON THERE.

AND IT COULD BE JUST AN UPDATE THAT IT'S SIGNED BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S, IT'S BEEN PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED BEFORE, AND I THINK IT WAS READY FOR, FOR SIGNATURE.

SO WE CARRY INSURANCE.

WE, WE GET, WE REPORT, WE PROVIDE ALL THAT.

SO JUST LET US KNOW WHAT THE PROPER ACTION TO TAKE IS.

AND THEN, OKAY, THANKS.

YOU ALSO LET US KNOW IF YOU CAN FIND OUT WHAT WE MIGHT BE MISSING OUT.

IF IT'S NOT A TENURE, YOU SAID THERE WAS, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE EVEN LOOKED AT THOSE.

I JUST FIGURED IT WAS.

OKAY, PERFECT.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION, MOTION, MOTION TO AMEND.

I APOLOGIZE.

ANY DISCUSSION ON THE AMENDMENT? OKAY.

[01:00:01]

MOTION CARRIES EIGHT TO ZERO, AND THEN WE NEED A MOTION TO ADOPT MR. HILL MOTION TO ADOPT.

SECOND THAT MOTION OF THE SECOND.

ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING? OR ARE YOU READY TO GET OUT OF HERE? MR. HIT MR. THE QUICK, UM, A FEW THINGS FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO PIGGYBACK ON SCOTT'S COMMENTS.

I THINK STAFF, I THINK OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AT AN AMAZING JOB ON SATURDAY, ALL DAY LONG, WE SPENT A LONG DAY OUT THERE AND WRAPPED IT UP WITH A MOVIE.

IT WAS A GOOD TIME.

UM, I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND ADDITIONALLY, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO LET THAT POUR OVER TO THE VOLUNTEER, UM, DINNER NIGHT.

UH, AGAIN, GREAT JOB.

THAT WAS A WONDERFUL EVENT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND THEN FINALLY, AGAIN, I WANT TO, I ACTUALLY WANT, I WANT TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL FOR THEIR MOVEMENT ON THESE BALL FIELDS.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS, YOU KNOW, CHRIS, LARRY.

OH, YOU GUYS, UM, EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING IS JUST AWESOME.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

UM, THANK YOU.

SO, AND LADIES, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY APOLOGIES.

ALL YOU FOLKS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YOU GUYS ARE REALLY DOING A LOT OF GOOD THINGS FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND I GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT.

REGARDLESS OF HOW IT COMES OUT, BUT, UM, FINALLY HAPPENS MORE THAN DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT UPDATE.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OKAY.

WE'RE GONNA RICHARD.

UM, ALSO AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO PIGGYBACK ON THE THINKING STAFF AND THERE'S A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY DINNER FOR THE VOLUNTEERS AND PARKS AND REC AMERICA.

WE, UM, STAFF FOR THE STAFF CITY STAFF, A AND B AND THE PARKS.

THEY DID A GREAT JOB HOSTING THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL, THE NINE 11 COMMEMORATION CEREMONY.

AND, UM, EVERYBODY CAME OUT, THEY HAD A GREAT TIME AND ALSO THINK OUR NEW INDUCTION FATHER, KYLE, THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT AND TAKING CARE OF US, RICHARD, THANK YOU.

MA'AM UM, I AM NOT GOING TO BE SHORT THIS EVENING.

UM, I WILL START OFF BY ECHOING THE COMMENTS OF THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL.

UM, MOVIE NIGHT, NINE 11 TRIBUTE.

THAT WAS, UH, A GREAT DECK COMMUNITY EVENT.

AND IN ADDITION TO HALFTIME USA, UH, AS WELL, THAT TOOK PLACE, UM, THAT BROUGHT A LOT OF, UH, GREAT, UM, HIGH SCHOOL BANDS INTO OUR COMMUNITY.

UM, ADDITIONALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THIS COUNCIL THAT, UH, WE, UM, ACTIVELY, UH, START PROMOTING, UM, WITH, UM, WITH EVERY ASSET THAT WE HAVE, UH, THE UPCOMING CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CITIZEN ACTION FORUM ON OCTOBER 13TH.

UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ATTENDANCE, UH, AT THAT EVENT, UM, UH, BE AT CAPACITY.

I THINK THAT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY THAT A BOARD PUTS A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT INTO THESE FORUMS AND BRINGS IN OUTSIDE SPEAKERS.

UM, ADDITIONALLY, I WANT TO CONTINUE THE, UH, THE, THE, THE THINGS TO THE GIRLS' SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION.

UM, IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE WORKING WITH YOUR, YOUR BOARD AND YOUR LEAGUE, UH, FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

UM, YOU KNOW, MY DAUGHTERS HAD THE PLEASURE OF PLAYING WITH YOU FOLKS PREVIOUSLY.

SO, UH, I I'VE SEEN IT INSIDE AND OUT.

I'VE GOT TO WORK THE CONCESSION STAND.

UH, SO, UH, YES, UM, HOPEFULLY SOONER THAN LATER, UH, WE'LL START TALKING ABOUT THAT AND FINALLY GET A, UH, AN ADDITIONAL EXHAUST FAN IN THERE AS WELL.

AND SO, UH, UH, HOPEFULLY, UH, HOPEFULLY THIS COUNCIL WILL TAKE UPON THAT A CONSIDERATION WHEN IT COMES TO BUDGET TIME, UM, UH, FOR SOME, UH, IMPROVEMENTS AND UPGRADES TO THAT CONCESSION STAND, UH, THAT, UH, WE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT INTO FOR ALL ORGANIZATIONS.

UM, ADDITIONALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK OUR LAW DIRECTOR, IF HE HAS ANY UPDATE REGARDING THE SNEAKY D'S HEARING THAT TOOK PLACE TODAY, HE KNEW THAT THE QUESTION WAS COMING.

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET OUT OF IT A THREE HOUR HEARING, UH, WHICH WAS KIND OF IMPRESSIVE.

BUT THEN AGAIN, IT'S, IT WAS FOR A RENEWAL FROM 2020, A RENEWAL FROM 2000 OR 19 AND 20, AND THEN A TRANSFER.

UM, THE NO DECISION WAS RENDERED AT THE HEARING, WHICH IS NOT UNUSUAL.

THEY'LL DO IT.

WE BELIEVE THAT EVEN IF WE ARE VICTORIOUS, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD ON THE RENEWAL, THE SNEAKY D LICENSE, IT'S A MOOT POINT BECAUSE THE OWNERSHIP OF THE NEW GROUP IS ACCORDING TO THE EVIDENCE THEY PRESENTED, NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM RELATED TO THE PRIOR OWNERS.

UM, OUR CHIEF DID, UH, MENTION THAT SINCE THE NEW OWNERSHIP HAS TAKEN OVER, THERE HAS BEEN A DROP IN CALLS.

SO THAT'S SOME GOOD NEWS.

UM, EVIDENTLY THE NEW OWNER IS, UH, TAKING STEPS VOLUNTARILY TO MITIGATE NOISE BY CLOSING DOORS AFTER 10 AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF POSITIVE THINGS GOING OUT THERE.

SO, UH, WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT, UM, THE PROBLEMS RESOLVED AND SOMETIMES JUST GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS, RESOLVES THOSE PROBLEMS WITHOUT HAVING TO ACTUALLY WIN A HEARING.

SO, UM, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, WE'RE PRETTY GOOD POSITION

[01:05:01]

I WILL CONTINUE TO YIELD TO STAFF AND OUR POLICE CHIEF, UM, UH, WITH UPDATES ON THAT, UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, QUALITY LIFE FOR THE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS IN THAT AREA WILL REMAIN STRONG.

UM, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO, UH, ENSURE THAT UP THE NEXT COUNCIL WORK SESSION, WE ARE GOING TO BE GETTING AN UPDATE FROM THE CITY ENGINEER, UH, REGARDING OUR LINING PROJECT, UM, STATUS ON THAT ONGOING, UM, BUDGET DISCUSSIONS AS MR. LYONS HAD POINTED OUT.

UM, COUNCIL NEEDS TO BRIDE SOME INPUT ON THAT, ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO, UM, TAKE CARE OF THE CITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE MOVING FORWARD SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.

UM, THAT'S ALREADY ON THE IT'S ALREADY ON THE AGENDA.

PERFECT.

EXCELLENT.

UM, ADDITIONALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO, UM, ASK COUNCIL TO, UH, TO CONSIDER, UM, A DISCUSSION REGARDING, UM, UH, RAISED DRIVE-THROUGH AND, UH, A TRAFFIC ISSUE THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP BY MULTIPLE RESIDENTS.

UM, I BELIEVE SOME CONVERSATIONS HAVE TAKEN PLACE AT A STAFF LEVEL.

UM, I KNOW I'VE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION AS WELL WITH STAFF AND THE CITY ENGINEER AND OUR LAW DIRECTOR.

I BELIEVE SOME COMMUNICATIONS BEEN SENT OUT TO THEM.

UM, THERE IS A MULTITUDE OF RESIDENTS ALONG TAYLORSVILLE, UM, THAT IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT FUTURE TRAFFIC, UM, AND INCREASED TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA, UH, RAISED DRIVE THROUGH AT SOME POINT IN TIME HAD A, UM, UH, WHAT I'M GOING TO CALL A WISHBONE TO PREVENT LEFT TURNS FROM TAYLORSVILLE INTO THE FACILITY WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO AROUND TO THE ACCESS DRIVE, UM, UNLESS SOMEBODY CORRECTS ME, UM, THAT BUSINESS SEEMS TO HAVE, UM, TOWARD THAT OUT AT THEIR, ON THEIR OWN WILL, WITHOUT ANY PERMISSION FROM THE CITY, UH, OR ANY, UM, ORDER COMMISSION, UM, YOU KNOW, REVIEW, UM, AND, UH, SEVERAL RESIDENTS HAVE HAD SOME NEAR, NEAR MISS COLLISIONS THERE, UM, INCLUDING, UM, YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORS DIRECTLY ACROSS, UH, AND THEY'RE ON THE CORNER OF DIAL AS WELL.

UM, I THINK IT'S A ISSUE THAT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO LOOK AT WITH BIG SANDY'S AND THE EXPANSION OF ADDITIONAL BUSINESS COMING ALONG WAYNE TOWN, UM, THAT, UH, WE MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS PROPERLY PUT BACK AS WELL AS SIGNAGE WITH NO LEFT TURN THAT GOES INTO THERE.

UM, THERE WAS A FORM THAT WAS PUT OUT WITH SOME, UH, SOME WOOD THAT THEY LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE GOING TO START PROCESS ON THAT.

UH, THE REASON I WANTED TO BRING THIS UP TO COUNCIL TODAY IS THAT FORM THAT THEY PUT UP HAS NOW SINCE BEEN DESTROYED BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TURNING LEFT INTO THERE.

UM, WHICH I THINK IS AN EXACT ISSUE.

UM, WHY THE NEIGHBORS HAVE BROUGHT THAT UP.

I HAVE ADDRESSED IT TO THE CITY STAFF AND WHY I'M NOT BRINGING ALL OF COUNCIL.

UM, GOD, IS THAT SOMETHING WE'VE HEARD? TALK ABOUT ON TUESDAY? YES.

YEP.

WE KNOW.

AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, UH, AND I WILL CLOSE WITH THIS AT THE, UH, AT THE LAST WORK SESSION.

UH, WE HAD SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT MEETING WITH, UH, BETHEL SCHOOL BOARD, UM, BETHEL TRUSTEES AND THE MIAMI COUNTY COMMISSIONERS REGARDING POSSIBLE ANNEXATION.

I KNOW IT'S BEEN ROUGHLY ABOUT THREE AND A HALF YEARS SINCE WE'VE HAD, UM, A JOINT MEETING WITH OUR OWN SCHOOL BOARD.

UM, AND I THINK IT'S TIME THAT WE START ENGAGING IN CONVERSATION ON THAT.

SO THIS COUNCIL AND THE LEADERSHIP OF OUR SCHOOL BOARD ARE ON THE SAME PAGE WHEN IT COMES TO OUR COMMUNITY MAYOR.

THAT'S ALL MY COMMENTS FOR TONIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TRIP.

I MADE SOME INITIAL CONTACTS TODAY IN THE FORM OF EMAILS AND, UM, I TEND TO HAVE A PLAN FOR THAT BEFORE I LEAVE ON VACATION TO AT LEAST HAVE A DATE.

ANYTHING ELSE, MR. WITT? I'LL BE VERY BRIEF.

UM, ON THE HILLS OF THE VOLUNTEER DINNER WHERE WE DID, UH, THANK OUR VOLUNTEERS, THEY DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB WITH THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL AND MOVIE NIGHT AGAIN, BUT THERE IS ONE DEPARTMENT WITHIN THE CITY I WANT TO CALL OUT REAL BRIEFLY, AND THAT IS OUR PARKS AND RECS DEPARTMENT.

AND BECAUSE I SAW OUR PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT OUT THERE STAKING OUT THE VENDOR BOOTHS, I SAW OUR PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT PUTTING UP THE BARRICADES.

OUR PARKS AND RECS DEPARTMENT WAS GUIDING IN THE FOOD TRUCKS AND OUR PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT WAS HELPING THE SOUND PEOPLE SET UP.

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY NOT KNOW THIS, OUR PARKS AND RECS DEPARTMENT, UH, HAS THEIR NAME.

IT'S JOSH KING.

HE'S A ONE MAN SHOW.

HE WAS EVERYWHERE DURING THE WEEKEND.

AND I JUST WANT TO SAY PUBLICLY, THANK YOU TO JOSH KING, UH, OUR PARKS AND RECS DEPARTMENT.
