Mar 08, 2022 Council Work Session

WHICH HAS AN INCREASE NOT TO EXCEED THEM OUT FOR ATLANTIC EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS OR A FIGHT FOR OUR DIVISION.

NEXT IS I AM FREEBIE,

[ Increase Not to Exceed Amount - Atlantic Emergency Solutions - Fire Division]

CHIEF.

NICELY IS HERE WITH US THIS EVENING, CHIEF, HOW ARE YOU, SIR? GOOD.

HOW ARE YOU? VERY GOOD.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

UM, WE HAD SOME, UH, AT THE END OF THE YEAR, EVERY YEAR, WE DO, UH, UH, PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ITEMS ON OUR VEHICLES AND THIS YEAR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE, UH, WISE OUR LADDER TRUCK, WHICH, UH, YOU VOTED TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A NEW LADDER TRUCK IN JANUARY.

UH, WHEN THIS TRUCK WENT IN THIS YEAR, UH, THEY FOUND SOME CORROSION, UH, ON A PIECE OF, FOR THE AERIAL TRUCK IT'S CALLED A TORQUE BOX, AND THERE'S BASICALLY RUST THAT LED TO SEVERAL WEEKS OF ENGINEERING, LOOKING AT THINGS LONG AND SHORT OF IT IS, IS, IS THAT, UH, THE TORQUE BOX IS BROKEN.

WE CANNOT USE THE LADDER TRUCK UNTIL IT'S REPLACED, UH, THE LADDER TRUCK ITSELF WHILE I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND US CONTINUING TO USE IT LONG-TERM AS A PRIMARY PIECE OF APPARATUS, IT STILL HAS VALUE.

UH, I IMAGINE WHEN THE REPAIRS ARE DONE, IT WILL HAVE ABOUT A $250,000 VALUE.

UH, RIGHT NOW IT'S TAKING UP TO TWO YEARS TO GET NEW VEHICLES IN, UH, OUR PRIMARY RESERVE PIECE RIGHT NOW IS AT 1997.

THIS IS A 2007.

SO WITH ALL THE REPAIRS, I KNOW IT'S A LARGE TICKET ITEM, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE MONEY WELL SPENT FOR US TO GO AHEAD AND GET THIS TRUCK REPAIRED TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL, UH, SPARE VEHICLE IN THE FUTURE.

UH, THE, UH, THE TOTAL COSTS THAT WE'RE ASKING, UH, FOR THE TOTAL, THE, THE DO NOT EXCEED AMOUNT, WE'RE ASKING TO INCREASE BY $25,000, THE REPAIR AMOUNT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR THIS VEHICLE TO MAKE IT WHOLE, UH, TO DO SOME, UH, SANDBLASTING RUSS PROOFING TO THE FRAME AND TO THE TORQUE BOXES ABOUT, UH, JUST, UH, JUST ABOVE $39,000.

[00:05:01]

ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHIEF NICELY? IS THAT INCLUDED, EXCUSE ME, IS THAT INCLUDED IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION? YES, MA'AM IT IS.

CAUSE I SEE 40,000 HERE.

W WE'RE WE'RE AT 39, 4 70 IS WHAT THE ESTIMATE IS.

UH, I THINK WE DID 40,000 BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WITH THIS MANY LITTLE ITEMS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BREAK SOMETHING OR FIND, I THOUGHT YOU SAID THE SECOND ITEM WAS GOING TO CALL THAT AMOUNT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY.

ANY OBJECTIONS TO MOVING THIS ONTO MONDAY'S MEETING? OKAY.

NEXT UP IS ITEM THREE C, WHICH IS THE INCREASE ON TO EXCEED AMOUNT FOR SHI INTERNATIONAL AND OUR IT DEPARTMENT.

AND

[ Increase Not To Exceed Amount – SHI International - IT Department]

AND BRANDON IS HERE WITH THIS EVENING.

HOW ARE YOU, SIR? I, WELL, SIR, YOU GOOD? UH, GOOD EVENING COUNCIL.

UH, THIS RESOLUTION IS FOR THE, UH, THIS TO INCREASE THE, NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT FOR HSI, WHICH IS OUR OFFICE 365 VENDOR.

UM, THAT AMOUNT IS TO INCREASE BY ABOUT $20,000.

UH, WE ALSO ARE GOING TO ADD SOME EXTRA ADDITIONAL LICENSES FOR NEW EMPLOYEES.

SO WHAT WE NEED TO HAVE THAT AMOUNT INCREASE FROM THE ANNUAL AMOUNT OF 25,000.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR RANDOM, ANY OBJECTIONS TO MOVING THIS ONTO MONDAY? OKAY.

WHICH IS THE 2022 SIDEWALK PROGRAM AND THE CONCRETE PORTION OF THE 2022 STREET PROGRAM AND AWARDING THOSE CONTRACTS, RUSS.

AND NEXT IS I'M 3D,

[ 2022 Sidewalk Program and Concrete Portion of 2022 Street Program - Award Contract]

YEAH, GOOD EVENING COUNCIL.

UM, WHAT THIS LEGISLATION IS, IS FOR THE SIDEWALK PROGRAM AND THE CURB PORTION OF THE STREET PROGRAM, A BIDDING CONSISTED OF TWO SECTIONS, A AND B UH, SECTION A WAS FOR THE SIDEWALK PROGRAM AND REPLACING SIDEWALKS IN THE AREAS THAT WEREN'T REPLACED BY THE INDIVIDUALS LATE LAST YEAR WHEN THEY WERE GIVEN THE CHANCE.

SO, AND THEN SECTION B IS FOR CURB REPLACEMENT AND THAT'S ALL THE CURB THAT'S IN THE STREET PROGRAM ON THE STREETS THAT ARE IN THAT PROGRAM.

SO ALL THE BAD CURVE IN THAT AREA, UH, WE ONLY HAD ONE BIDDER ON THESE, UH, TO BOTH SECTIONS AND THAT WAS MULTICAST CONSTRUCTION.

UH, THEY HAVE DONE WORK IN THE CITY MANY TIMES BEFORE AND THEY ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD CONTRACTOR FOR US.

UH, I DID CHECK, UH, WE CALLED THE OTHER TWO OTHER CONTRACTS THAT NORMALLY BID AND THEY WERE BOTH, UH, UH, LOW, SHORT ON WORKERS AND THEY HAD SOME OTHER JOBS CLOSER CAUSE THEY'RE OUT OF CINCINNATI AND HAMILTON AND THEY HAD JOBS CLOSER.

THEY WERE GOING TO STICK AROUND CLOSER TO THEIR OFFICE BECAUSE THEY HAD NOT AS MANY WORKERS.

SO WE ONLY HAVE THE ONE BID MULTITASK.

UH, THE BID FOR THE SECTION A WAS 118,946.

AND SECTION B WAS, EXCUSE ME, $937,845.

UH, BOTH OF THESE AMOUNTS ARE APPROXIMATELY 20% HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR'S NUMBERS.

SO THE COST OF ALL THIS HAS REALLY GONE UP THIS YEAR.

I DID CHECK WITH KETTERING, THEY JUST BID THEIR SIDEWALK PROGRAM OR THEIR CURB PROGRAM OUT.

AND THE COST OF CURBING FOR THEM CAME IN ABOUT $53, A LINEAR FOOT.

AND OURS WAS ACTUALLY $43 A LINEAR FOOT.

SO, BUT THEY HAD LESS AMOUNT THAN WE DID.

SO MAYBE THAT'S THE REASON, BUT EITHER WAY, I TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS WAS A PRETTY ACCURATE DOLLAR AMOUNT SINCE IT'S ONLY HAD ONE CONTRACTOR BIDDING ON IT.

SO I THINK WE'RE STILL OKAY WITH THIS.

UM, WITH THIS LEGISLATION, I'D ALSO LIKE TO INCLUDE A THIRD ITEM ON THE LEGISLATION FOR NEXT WEEK.

IT'LL BE ON THERE, UH, THE COST OF HAVING MULTITASK, INSTALL THE SIDEWALK ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE OAKS, THE REST OF THE SIDEWALK THAT WAS NOT PUT IN EARLY ON IN THE, UH, START OF THAT SUBDIVISION.

AND THE COST OF THAT WORK IS ESTIMATED AT $60,000.

IT'S ABOUT 850 FEET OF SIDEWALK THERE.

UM, SO THE COST OF THESE TWO IN ADDITIONAL SIDEWALK IS APPROXIMATELY 1 MILLION, 125,000.

UH, THIS LEGISLATION WOULD BE HAVING THAT AS THE, NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT FOR MULTITASK.

AND WE'D LIKE TO HAVE THAT NEXT WEEK IF WE COULD, FOR THEM TO START CONSTRUCTION AS SOON AS WE CAN.

UH, BUT BEFORE I TAKE QUESTIONS, UH, LAST FRIDAY, WE ALSO BID OUT THE STREET PROGRAM AND, UH, I WILL BE BRINGING THAT TO THE NEXT MEETING.

UH, BUT THE REASON I'M HERE TONIGHT, UH, THE COST FOR THE ASPHALT PAVING CAME IN APPROXIMATELY 20% HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR.

ALSO AT $1.2 MILLION.

AND I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THIS TONIGHT BECAUSE JIM BELL WILL BE BRINGING A SUPPLEMENTAL TO YOU FOR BOTH OF THESE.

SO I WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF IT TONIGHT THAT, UH, WE WILL NEED TO HAVE A SUPPLEMENTAL, UH, FOR A TOTAL BUDGET INCREASE OF 160,000 OUT OF THE STREET PROGRAM AND 60,000 OUT OF GAS TAX MONEY.

AND THAT 60,000 IS FOR THAT EXTRA SIDEWALK.

UH, SO I WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THIS TONIGHT THAT HE'S BRINGING THAT UP.

AND SO THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU ARE NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT, LET US KNOW NOW, I GUESS, OF THE INCREASE

[00:10:01]

THAT WE'D LIKE TO DO.

THANKS FOR US.

I APPRECIATE YOU CHECKING WITH KETTERING TOO.

I MEAN, I ONLY HAVE A ONE BID, UH, APPRECIATE YOUR REACHING OUT AND MAKING SURE THAT YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH, WITH THAT ONE BIT.

SO THANK YOU.

UH, DOES ANYBODY ON COUNCIL HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR, FOR RUSS REGARDING, UM, THESE, UH, THESE CONTRACTS? YES.

WE'RE GOING TO NOT DO BOARD FOR, UNTIL THE WHOLE WATER THING IS LOOKED AT AND APPROVED.

RIGHT.

I STILL HAVE IT ON THERE.

I'D LIKE TO WAIT UNTIL FALL AND THEN SEE IF THERE'S ANY MORE WATER MAIN BREAKS IN THAT AREA.

BUT, UH, AT THAT POINT WE CAN DECIDE TO TAKE THAT PART OFF.

IF WE DO HAVE, HAVE ANY WATER MAIN BREAKS, I MAY, I MAY BRING IT BACK TO YOU BEFORE I DO IT.

AND, UH, LET YOU KNOW THAT I LIKE TO GO AHEAD IF THERE'S NO MORE WATER, MAIN BREAKS.

CAUSE I THINK THE ONES WE HAD IN THAT AREA WERE FROM TEMPERATURE CHANGES AND THINGS, NOT FROM THE BAD FROM THE CORROSION ON THE PIPE.

SO I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ANY MORE, THAT'S MY OPINION.

AND MAYBE WE MIGHT HAVE ONE OR TWO NEXT YEAR, BUT IT'S STILL TO THE POINT WHERE THOSE STREETS NEED PAVED.

AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT THAT OFF, YOU KNOW, MORE YEARS THAN I DO.

ARE YOU TALKING LONG? FOR INSTANCE, WHAT'S BEEN DECIDED ABOUT THE LINING WITH LONG FOR .

I BELIEVE LONGFORD IS NOT ON THE LIST FOR PAVING AND THAT PORTION WHERE WE LINED THE OTHER TWO STREETS ARE, WELL, I I'M SORRY.

I THINK I HAVE TO CHECK.

WE MAY HAVE DONE THAT PORTION OF LONGFORD.

ALSO THINKING THAT THOSE THREE STREETS, UH, I THINK WE'RE STILL GOING TO TRY TO DO IF THERE'S NO MORE BRICKS.

I WOULD JUST ASK THAT YOU COME BACK AND LET US KNOW THAT BECAUSE I JUST DON'T WANT TO WASTE MONEY AND EFFORT IF IT DOESN'T RESOLVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AND OBJECTIONS TO MOVING THIS ONTO MONDAY.

HE, WHICH IS A SUEZ WATER CONTRACT MODIFICATION, RUSS.

NEXT UP IS ITEM THREE.

[ Suez Water - Contract Modification]

THAT'S ALSO YOU, RIGHT? YES.

WE'D LIKE TO DO A CONTRACT MODIFICATION WITH SUEZ, UH, FOR 125,000.

THIS IS COVER THREE UNSCHEDULED ITEMS AT THE WATER PLANT, UH, THE REPREP ROAD WATER PLANT, UH, THE FIRST ONE BEING, UH, WE NEED TO FIX A SMALL LIFT STATION WITHIN THE PLANT THAT SERVICES, THE RESTROOMS AND A, A CONTINUOUS INLINE PHN CHLORINE METERS THAT DRAIN THERE.

THIS, UH, PUMP STATION PUMPS THE WATER TO THE SANITARY SYSTEM.

THAT'S WAY UP TO THE ROAD THAT GOES TO THE WASTEWATER PLANT.

WE CAN'T, UH, WE CAN'T USE IT AT DUMPED INTO THE RIVER.

LIKE WE DO THE WASTE FROM THE, UH, UM, SOFTENING.

SO, UH, THE, THE, THE PUMP WENT OUT IN THAT AND IT'S, IT'S, IT'S TOO OLD TO GET NEW, UH, NEW PUMPS.

SO THEY HAVE TO ACTUALLY REPLACE THE SMALL PORTION OF THE, UH, LIFT STATION ITSELF.

AND THAT WAS AT $40,000.

UH, THE SECOND ITEM, UH, PUMPED FOR, WELL NUMBER SIX, WHICH IS ONE NUMBER SIX IS THE ONE WE JUST PUT IN A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, THE PUMP WENT OUT.

UM, AND, UH, THEY CURRENTLY HAVE A TEMPORARY ONE IN THERE, BUT THE PUMP IS AT 55,000 TO REPLACE.

AND, UM, UH, WE WANT TO DO THAT AS SOON AS WE CAN, BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S OUR HIGHEST PRODUCING PUMP AND IT DID.

THEY ONLY HAD A ONE YEAR WARRANTY ON IT.

SO, UH, WE NEED TO DO THAT WITH THIS ALSO.

UM, THEN THE LAST ITEM IS A SCADA SYSTEM.

UPGRADE SKATE IS LIKE A IT'S SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITIONS WAS CALLED.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE A, A MONITORING SYSTEM FOR THE PLANT.

UH, IT LETS YOU KNOW, THIS IS, THIS UPGRADE IS LIKE A, KIND OF LIKE A DIAGNOSTIC THING THAT YOU DO FOR YOUR CAR.

IT TELLS YOU WHEN THINGS ARE LOOKING LIKE THEY MAY BREAK IT OR ARE BREAK AND BEFORE THEY BREAK, IT'LL TELL YOU BEFOREHAND SO THAT YOU CAN, UM, KNOW AHEAD OF TIME WHAT THE CORRECT.

SO, AND THIS IS AN UPGRADE THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD, WHEN CCI CAME IN AND SAID THAT, UH, IF THEY UPGRADED THIS, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL A WAY AHEAD OF TIME ON SOME OF THE REPAIRS THEY NEED.

SO, UH, THEY THOUGHT IT'D BE A GOOD THING TO DO THAT.

SO WE WON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. AND THEN YOU HAVE TO GET PARTS AHEAD OF, WE CAN DO IT AHEAD OF TIME AND NOT HAVE TO WAIT ON THINGS.

SO, SO THESE THREE UPGRADES, UH, THAT WAS 30,000.

SO ALL THREE TOGETHER AS 125,000 REST, WE KNOW WHY THE PUMP FAILED, RIGHT? I'M SORRY.

DO WE KNOW WHY THE PUMP FAILED? OH NO, NOT YET.

THEY HAVEN'T PREPARED IT YET.

IT WAS ONLY A YEAR AND A HALF OLD.

NORMALLY WE HAVE FRUSTRATING AND CONCERNING, I THINK YEAH, MORE OF A, WE HAVE TWO YEAR WARRANTY ON THESE, BUT IT'S ONLY ONE YEAR ON THIS ONE.

ARE THERE MORE PEOPLE THAT MAKE THOSE PUMPS AND JUST, WE GOT THAT ONE FROM IT'S THE SAME, THAT SAME MANUFACTURER COMES FROM NATIONAL WATER WORKS.

I THINK IT'S CALLED.

AND UH, YEAH, I MEAN, I CAN CHECK TO SEE MAYBE BY NEXT WEEK WE'D HAVE, UH, AN IDEA OF WHY THE PUMP FAILED, BUT, UH, I JUST CAN'T BE ALONE WITH THIS CONCERN THAT WE HAD A BRAND NEW PUMP AND AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF, I MEAN IT FAILED ALREADY.

THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE PUMP WE USE.

YOU SAID, SO, YEAH, THAT, THAT, THAT IS A LITTLE BIT,

[00:15:01]

MAYBE THEY KNEW SOMETHING WE DIDN'T.

IS ITEM THREE F A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS GYM.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANY OBJECTIONS TO MONDAY? OKAY.

[ Supplemental Appropriations]

UH, GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, HAVE, BEFORE YOU, UH, BRING TO YOU THE FIRST TIME ANY, UH, UH, BUDGET CHANGES HAVE BEEN PRESENTED THIS YEAR.

UM, SOME OF THESE ARE FOR ITEMS THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN MENTIONED TONIGHT, OTHERS ARE FOUR THINGS THAT WILL BE OCCURRING IN THE FUTURE.

SO I'LL JUST BRIEFLY GO OVER THEM.

UM, UH, $2.5 MILLION WOULD BE AN ADVANCE THAT I'M RECOMMENDING FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FUND FOR FACADE IMPROVEMENTS AT THE MEADOWS, WHICH WAS DISCUSSED AT THE LAST WORK SESSION.

AND, UM, THAT WOULD BE AN ANTICIPATION OF A FUTURE DEBT ISSUE LATER THIS YEAR TO COVER THAT.

SO THAT COULD REPLENISH THE GENERAL FUND, UH, BUT IT COULD, UH, UM, TAKE CARE OF THAT.

UH, IN THE MEANTIME, UH, $4,500 FOR THE OHIO MAYORS ALLIANCE MEMBERSHIP.

THAT WAS NOT A BUDGETED BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE THE SIZE CITY, THAT WE COULD JOIN THAT MEMBERSHIP.

SO THAT'S IN HERE, UM, $8,500 FOR PURCHASE OF A POLICE CANINE.

AND THAT WILL BE COVERED BY A DONATION BY MRS. HUBER, UH, LATER THIS YEAR, OR I THINK SHE'S ALREADY GIVEN THAT DONATION.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SHE'S ALREADY GIVEN THAT DONATION.

UM, $40,000 FOR REPAIRS TO THE EXISTING FIRE LADDER TRUCK AS MENTIONED BY CHIEF, UH, NICELY, UH, MOMENTS AGO.

UM, WE ALSO HAVE A $24,326 AND 4 CENTS FOR 2022 POLICE TRAINING.

THAT'S ALSO COVERED BY A GRANT.

SO I THANK YOU FOR YOUR STAFF, UH, GETTING THAT CHIEF LIGHTENER, UH, $85,000, $85,829 FOR PROPERTY TAXES THAT, UH, WE WEREN'T AWARE OF BEFORE ACQUIRING THE MARY MEADOWS PROPERTY.

SO, UH, WE NEED TO PAY THOSE PROPERTY TAXES.

AND THEN, UH, THE NEXT THREE ITEMS, A TOTAL OF 125,000 FOR THE REPAIRS, UH, THAT, UH, AT THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT THAT, UH, ENGINEER RUSS BERGMAN JUST MENTIONED.

AND SO I SAT DOWN WITH, UH, RUSS AND HIS STAFF AND LOOKED AT IF THERE WAS ANY OTHER BUDGET CHANGES WE COULD MAKE TO COVER SOME OF THOSE EXPENSES.

AND WE FOUND, UM, $250,000.

SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING AS A REDUCTION IN THE WATER BUDGET, UH, THAT, UH, WAS GOING TO BE FOR THE EMERALD GATE WATER TOWER PAINTING THAT CAN BE MOVED TO 2023.

SO ACTUALLY THE NET CHANGE IN THE BUDGET WOULD BE A REDUCTION OF $125,000, UH, IN THE WATER FUNDS FOR THOSE REPAIRS THAT ARE NEEDED.

AND, UH, OBVIOUSLY, UH, AS, UH, THOSE BEEN MENTIONED TONIGHT, NOT ONLY THOSE REPAIRS, BUT ALSO THE LADDER TRUCK, UH, TH THE NEED IS IMMEDIATE.

SO I WOULD ASK THAT, UH, COUNCIL PASSED THIS, UM, ON MONDAY NIGHT INSTEAD OF HAVING A FULL TWO READINGS.

THANK YOU, JIM.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR JIM? YES, I NEED IT.

HOW DID WE NOT KNOW? WE OWED $85,829 FOR PROPERTY TAXES WHEN WE BOUGHT THE PLACE AS WELL, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE, UM, WE PROBABLY COULD HAVE DONE A LITTLE MORE DUE DILIGENCE AND FOUND THE RECORDS, UM, RELATING TO THE PROPERTY THERE AS TO WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER PAID FOR THOSE TAXES.

AND WE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THEM UNTIL, UM, UNTIL NOW WE'RE GETTING THE BILLS BECAUSE WE'RE FULL, FULL OWNERS OF THAT PROPERTY.

IF I MAY, UM, SOME OF THAT, SOME OF THAT'S GOING TO BE OFFSET BECAUSE THE TENANTS THERE PAY PART OF THEIR RENT.

IN ADDITION TO RENT, THEY PAY A PORTION OF TAXES.

SO THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME THERE.

WE HAVE NOT PRORATED OUR TAXES BETWEEN US AND, UH, UH, LIBRARY YET.

I DON'T BELIEVE PENDING THE TAX BILL.

SO THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME OF THAT'S GOING TO COME OFF OF IT AS WELL.

UM, WE WILL HAVE WITH THE, WHEN WE CLOSE WITH DOGTOWN, SOME OF THAT'S GONNA COME OFF OF IT AS WELL, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PRORATIONS THERE TOO.

SO IT'S NOT AS, AS BIG A HIT AS IT LOOKS AND THE QUESTIONS OR FOLLOW-UP OKAY.

ANY OBJECTIONS TO MOVE THE SUPPLEMENTAL ONTO MONDAY? THANK YOU.

AND NEXT

[ Military and Veterans Commission - Wall of Honor Presentation]

IS, I AM 3G, WHICH IS A MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMISSION.

THE WALL OF HONOR PRESENTATION.

HOW ARE YOU, SIR? I AM TRYING TO WORK THE THING THAT TONY SHOWED ME OUT, BUT IT WON'T SHOW ME THE GREEN SIDE.

WELL, YOU'RE A NICE FELLOW.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

I AM COMMISSIONER RAY GERARD.

I'M HERE WITH COMMISSIONER JOHN BANKWEST FROM YOUR RIGHTS, MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMISSION.

WHILE I WAS WAITING TO COME UP HERE AND TALK, I THOUGHT I WOULD DO SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

I'LL GIVE YOU THE CONCLUSION BEFORE I GIVE YOU THE PRESENTATION.

[00:20:01]

WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS LIKE A MYSTERY NOVEL, WHERE YOU GET ASSEMBLED MULTITUDE BEING OF HIGH STATURE AND MYSTERIOUS NATURE COMES UP WITH A GREAT IDEA, AND THEN THEY SAY YOU DO IT.

AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS POINTING AT WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL IN ORDER TO GET WHAT WE THINK IS A GREAT IDEA HAPPEN.

SO WE'RE AT THAT STAGE AND THIS, THIS WILL PARTICULARLY DESCRIBE WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE THINK WE SHOULD BE IF WE CAN GET THE COOPERATION FOR WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL.

SO, UH, THAT WAS A PICTURE BY THE WAY OF A 19 FOOT BY 16 FOOT WALL THAT WAS, UH, UP AT NORTHMONT HIGH SCHOOL.

AND, UH, AS FAR AS I KNOW, IT'S ONE OF THE RARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THAT KIND OF THING IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA, BUT, UH, SURE WOULD BE NICE IF IT WAS UNDERTAKEN HERE.

I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME ON THE DETAILS YOU CAN SEE IN THE CHARTS.

I UNDERSTAND YOU ALL HAVE COPIES, RIGHT? SO THERE'S NO NOT GOING TO READ TO YOU.

UM, WE, UH, THE NORTH DISTRICT, THEY DECIDED THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE HONORING THE MILITARY AND IT'S IN A WAY PARALLEL TO WHAT THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS DID WHEN THEY FIRST FORMED A MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMISSION.

THEY WANTED TO SHOW THAT THEY WERE A VETERAN FRIENDLY SYSTEM.

SO HERE WE GO AGAIN, WE'RE DOING THE SAME THING, WHICH IS ALL GOOD.

AND FROM SPOKEN FROM A COUPLE OF VETERANS ANYWAY, UM, SO THEY HAD, UH, SOME NAMES ALREADY.

YOU CAN SEE THAT ON THE BOTTOM LINE.

AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT AS WE MOVE ON.

SO IN THE INTEREST OF THE HIGH-SPEED NATURE OF THIS MEETING, I AM MOVING RIGHT ALONG HERE ARE SOME KEY PERSONNEL.

I WILL SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE PRINCIPAL OF NORTHBOUND HIGH SCHOOL IS VERY RARE.

AND I THINK COMMISSIONER BECK WAS WITH A GREEK WITH ME THAT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED SUCH A VERY PATRIOTIC PERSON WHO WAS NOT A VETERAN HIMSELF.

HE'S REALLY BEHIND THAT.

HE SUPPORTED US, I'D SAY 110%, UH, BEFORE I LEFT, HE WAS MAKING COPIES OF EVERY POSSIBLE ANGLE AND PROCESS THAT HE UNDERWENT.

AND I GOT A BRIEFCASE FULL OF THINGS.

LIKE IF YOU ASK, WELL, WHAT DO YOU DO IN HIS CASE THAT I CAN PROBABLY PULL OUT THE PIECE OF PAPER AND SAY, HERE IT IS.

SO HE WAS VERY, VERY SUPPORTIVE OF IT AND HE WOULD CONTINUE TO BE SO, UH, AND, UH, SPEAKING OF SUPPORTIVE, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT, UH, COUNCIL, WOMAN, NANCY BERGE COMPANY STARTED ON ALL THIS BY SIMPLY MAKING A PHONE CALL.

SO IT WORKED OUT, IT WORKED OUT PRETTY WELL, VERY EXCITING PROJECT.

UH, WE LEARNED A FEW THINGS, UH, FUNDING AS USUAL WAS ALWAYS A DIFFICULTY, BUT NOTHING WAS, NOTHING WAS PAID FOR BY THE POLITICAL MUNICIPALITY OR NOTHING WAS PAID FOR BY THE SCHOOL.

ALL THE MONEY CAME FROM THE AMBULANCE AND, UH, VFWS WHO FORMED A CONSORTIUM TO GATHER MONEY AND PAY FOR THIS PARTICULAR, UH, PROJECT AND WITH THE COST OF 20 TO 25,000, THAT MIGHT BE ATTAINABLE IN THAT MANNER.

SO WE WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE APPROPRIATIONS AND ALL THAT KIND OF THING, BECAUSE I DOUBT THAT THAT WOULD BE AN ISSUE ANYWAY.

UM, THERE WAS A INGLEWOOD FIRM THAT DID IT, AND, UH, IN THE OLD LOGISTICAL SENSE REQUIREMENTS, ACQUISITION, DISTRIBUTION, AND MAINTENANCE, YOU WILL FIND OUT LATER THAT I JUST BROKE THE, UH, QUICKER.

UH, YOU'LL FIND OUT THAT THE MAINTENANCE PART IS GOING TO COME INTO PLAY AS WELL.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU THAT IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.

UH, BUT YEAH, AT THE BOTTOM, YOU'LL SEE THE TYPE OF, UH, ENTRIES THAT THEY, UH, THE ACADEMY GRADUATES WEST POINT.

UH, WELL, THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE ENLISTED AND ALL THAT, AND THAT'S ALL SHOWN ON THE BOARD TO BID.

I DON'T HAVE TWO SCREENS.

I CAN SHOW YOU THE BOARD.

UM, THERE IS A VERY COMPLEX APPLICATION PROCESS.

ONE THING THEY'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT IS TRYING TO GATHER THE DATA FOR THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE LEFT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

UH, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY VOLUNTEER AND SAY, HEY, BY THE WAY, I LEFT THE MILITARY TODAY, OR I W I GOT PROMOTED, OR I GOT DISHONORABLY DISCHARGED.

SO, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT, OR W WHICH CASE THEY WOULDN'T APPEAR ON THE BOARD.

SO THAT, THAT BECOMES A PROBLEM FOR WHOEVER IS GATHERING DATA IN HIGH SCHOOL.

AND I THINK THAT WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT, WE'LL HAVE TO BE UPFRONT AND, AND TELL THE HIGH SCHOOL PERSONNEL, IF THEY BECOME THE UNILATERAL POC TO MANAGE THIS, JUST EXACTLY THE KIND OF PROBLEMS THEY WOULD ENCOUNTER IN THAT, IN THAT PARTICULAR CASE.

UM, AND THIS IS JUST SOME MORE ABOUT THAT.

UH, YOU'VE ALL HEARD OF STOLEN VALOR.

SO WE W THEY WERE AS A WORRY ABOUT THAT, TOO.

THEY, SOME OF THEM, THERE WAS A COUPLE OF INCIDENTS WHERE SOME OF THE PEOPLE WANTED

[00:25:01]

TO BE UP ON THE BOARD, BUT TURN IT OUT THAT THEY WERE NOT EVEN EX-MILITARY.

NOW, THIS IS, UH, PROBABLY THE MAIN CRUX OF WHY THIS THING WAS UNDERTAKEN.

UH, YOU MAY KNOW THAT COMMISSIONER BANQUETS AND I ARE STAFF OFFICERS FOR THE MIAMI VALLEY YOUNG MARINES.

SO WE ARE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT ORIENTED IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE.

UM, THE PRINCIPAL AND THE ROTC DIRECTOR, LIEUTENANT COLONEL NOT SAID HE, THEY RECOGNIZED BY OBSERVATION AND EXIT INTERVIEWS, THAT THERE WAS INCREASED STUDENT MOTIVATION TO SUCCEED, LOOKING TO, LOOKING TO GET UP ON THE BOARD AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

THERE WAS INCREASED STUDENT ENROLLMENT IN THE MILITARY ACADEMIES AND INCREASED STUDENT ENROLLMENT AND IN, UH, INSTITUTES OF HIGHER LEARNING, INCREASED COMMUNITY INTEREST AND SUPPORTS THAT I KNOW I'M READING TO YOU, BUT WE THOUGHT THIS WAS GREAT.

AND AT THE SAME TIME, BY VIRTUE OF HAVING THE BOARD IN THAT, IN THAT PLACE, THERE WAS INCREASED RECOGNITION OF OUR MILITARY HEROES.

SO THE CHALLENGE, THOSE ARE, UH, TO GET SOMEBODY TO REALLY UNDERTAKE THE PROJECT.

AND THERE'S ALL THOSE PARTICULAR THINGS RIGHT THERE THAT YOU ALL KNOW ABOUT AS AN ORDINARY PROCESS UNTIL THE WALL OF HONOR BECOME ERECTED.

BUT ONCE IT'S DIRECTED THE BOTTOM BULLET, THERE CONTINUE TO MARCH FOR HIDDEN IMPACTS AND OUTCOMES MUST BE CONSIDERED SUCH AS I MENTIONED, THAT DATA COLLECTION DIFFICULTIES AND LO AND BEHOLD, THEY'RE WORRIED, ALREADY EXCEEDING THE CAPACITY OF THE BOARD.

SO IN THAT CASE WHERE YOU GO LATERALLY UP THROUGH THE CEILING, I MEAN, IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO KEEP UP WITH IT AS TIME GOES ON.

SO, UH, IT, AS THE USUAL CONNECT, UH, DATA COLLECTION PROBLEMS WILL OCCUR.

HERE'S WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS A REASONABLE PROJECT PLAN.

I MEAN, YOU HAD TO AT US ALL HIGH LEVEL TO BE, UH, MAYBE SOMEWHAT NAIVE, BUT THE VERY NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO PRESENT IT TO THE HIGH SCHOOL.

NOW, SINCE WE ARE THE MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMISSION IN AN ARM OF THE CITY, UH, W WE THOUGHT IT NECESSARY TO BRING IT BEFORE THE COUNCIL AND GET YOUR IDEAS ON IT.

AND IF YOU DO, UH, GIVE US THAT, GO AHEAD.

I THINK WHAT'LL HAPPEN AS COMMISSIONER GREG WATSON, AND I WILL GO OVER THERE AND FIRST MADE CONTACT WITH COLONEL REDWOOD AND PROCEED UP THE CHAIN TO SEE WHAT KIND OF AGREEMENT WE CAN GET IN TO SEE WHAT KIND OF MECHANISMS WE CAN ENGENDER BY SAYING YOU DO IT.

AND IN THAT PARTICULAR GROUP, THERE ARE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO BE CONSIDERED THAT MIGHT WANT TO HELP OUT IN THIS, THE ANT AND THE AMVETS AND THE VFWS AND THE VVA VIETNAM VETERANS ASSOCIATION WITH THE JOHN AND I ARE MEMBERS OF IN THESE KINDS OF PLACES, MAYBE THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SCHOOL BOARD WOULD WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH OR NOT.

THESE ARE ALL QUESTIONS, EVERY MAIN TO BE ANSWERED.

SO THAT IS THE VERY END FAST ENOUGH.

THAT WAS GOOD.

UM, I'LL LEAVE IT TO REPAIR THE, UH, APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION, APPRECIATE YOU, UH, WANTING TO BRING THAT, UH, TO COUNCIL, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR THOUGHTS AND IDEAS.

UH, I CERTAINLY THINK THAT, UH, ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HONOR VETERANS, ESPECIALLY IN THE SCHOOLS AND YOUNG PEOPLE, SO THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S COMING TUMULTUOUS TIMES.

WE'RE LIVING IN NOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, ACROSS THE WORLD AND WHAT'S HAPPENING.

AND, UM, SO I THINK LOTS OF PEOPLE, UH, EVEN STUDENTS THAT WE'RE TEACHING HAVE KIND OF A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF AWARENESS OF WHAT'S HAPPENING, UM, AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT WE HAVE A STRONG MILITARY PEOPLE WILLING TO SERVE.

SO I APPRECIATE IT.

I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, KNOWING THE ADMINISTRATORS OVER THERE, I MEAN, I THINK THAT, UH, WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO WOULD CERTAINLY BE, I WANNA SPEAK FOR THEM, BUT I THINK WOULD BE INTERESTED IN, IN SEEING THIS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE AN ATHLETIC WOLF, UM, WALL OF FAME THERE AND IN HIGH SCHOOL TOO, IS YOU'VE BEEN IN THERE.

YOU SEE THAT? I MEAN, THAT'S, UM, AND THAT'S HUGE.

I MEAN, THAT RUNS DOWN THAT WHOLE HALLWAY THERE BY THE GYM, UM, WITH, UH, WE DO HAVE A PARTICULAR ADVANTAGE IN THAT COMMISSIONED BACK TO, WHICH WAS THE FORMER ROTC INSTRUCTOR OVER THERE.

SO WE'LL BE USING THE OLD BOY NETWORK AS MUCH AS ALL RIGHT.

SO, SO YEAH, I, UM, YOU KNOW, I CAN KIND OF SEE EXACTLY THAT WOULD LOOK AND WHERE IT MIGHT EVEN GO.

I MEAN, I, YEAH, I THINK THAT'D BE SOMETHING THAT THE, THAT THE SCHOOL BE EXCITED ABOUT.

I KNOW WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, THROUGH OUR ENGLISH CLASSES, YOU KNOW, WE INVITE, UM, ALL DIFFERENT RECRUITERS, ALL DIFFERENT BRANCHES.

THEY COME IN AND, YOU KNOW, THEY SPEND, UH, ALL DAY WHEN WE ACTUALLY HAVE THOSE RECRUITMENT TIMES WHERE

[00:30:01]

THEY'RE TALKING TO THE KIDS AND EXPLAIN THE BENEFITS OF THE MILITARY AND THEIR EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.

UH, YOU KNOW, SO WE'RE VERY ACTIVE AS YOU KNOW, WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT ARMED SERVICES IN THE SCHOOL.

THEY'RE VERY PRESENT, UM, ALL THE TIME.

SO, UH, I THINK THIS IS, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT FIT, AND WE'VE GOT ANOTHER DISTRICT NOT TOO FAR FROM US, KIND OF CLOSE TO OUR SIZE THAT IT SEEMS SUCCESS WITH IT.

I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY WE COULDN'T PULL THAT OFF HERE TOO.

SO, UM, SO THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.

DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY, I MEAN, YOU WANT TO ADD, I SAY IT'S A GREAT IDEA.

UM, MY PURGE, YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT IT AT ONE OF THE PRIOR MEETINGS AND TOTALLY BEHIND IT, I MEAN, I CAN DO TO HELP LET ME KNOW ANYTHING ELSE.

YES, DAWN.

ALL RIGHT.

JUST BRIEFLY GRANDKIDS WENT TO NORTH MON, SO I WAS ABLE TO SEE THOSE HAPPENING, AND IT SEEMED LIKE A REALLY PRETTY QUICK AND NORTH MOM ONCE SAID, HAD IMPLEMENTED IT, GOT AN IDEA ON YOUR TIMELINE, HOW LONG YOU LIVE.

UH, I DON'T, UH, THE, UH, ONE OF THE ACTUAL RESEARCH PARTS OF DOSES, WE DID MEET WITH THE, UH, THE VENDOR THAT PUT IT UP.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, HE, HE SENT HIS WHOLE TACTICAL TEAM IN WITH US AND, UH, TOLD US THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY HAD THE PLANE ALL LAID OUT.

SO, UH, UH, NO, I DIDN'T BOTHER LOOKING FOR THE PROJECT PLEASE.

AND I FIGURED WE'D BETTER TAKE STEP ONE FOR TWO, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY WERE HOT TO GO IF, IF IT IS THEM, I, YOU KNOW, I KNOW FROM DEALING WITH CONTRACTS FOR YEARS, I SHOULDN'T PRESUME IT'S GOING TO BE THEM, BUT SURE.

YOU KNOW, THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A GOOD PLAN IN TERMS OF THEIR EXPERIENCE.

IT LOOKS AWESOME.

THANKS, RYAN.

THANK YOU, MAN.

THANKS YOU THE FEEDBACK? YES.

UM, I JUST WANT TO THANK RIGHT.

AND JOHN, FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE ON THIS AND IN A VERY SHORT TIME, IT'S VERY THOROUGH AND, AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT.

I I'M WANT TO SEE IT HAPPEN.

THE NEXT STEPS FOR MOST ARE IN THE HANDS OF THE SUPPORT YOU NEED FOR ALL SERVICES.

WELL, THE STEP FROM YOU I NEED IS PROBABLY, UH, AN AGREEMENT TONIGHT THAT WE CAN WALK ACROSS THE STREET AND START TALKING.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY OBJECTIONS UP HERE, BUT IF THERE ARE ANY, LET THEM BE KNOWN AND OKAY.

WE'LL PRESUME THAT WE HAVE TO GO AHEAD AND BEGIN TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL.

RIGHT? THANK YOU.

ITEM THREE H WHICH IS THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT.

YOU CAN FIX STILL DELEGATING, RIGHT? THAT'S OUT OF WORKS REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

UH, NEXT IS

[ Montgomery County Emergency Management Services Agreement]

AND THIS IS BRIAN.

UH, THANK YOU, SIR.

THIS, UH, AGREEMENT IS A, AN AMENDMENTS TO, OR A REPLACEMENT, I SHOULD SAY, UH, TO THE EXISTING AGREEMENT.

WE HAVE, WE CONTRACT WITH MONTGOMERY COUNTY TO PROVIDE OUR RESPONSE FOR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SITUATIONS.

THE COUNTY CURRENTLY HAS MULTIPLE VARYING CONTRACTS, UH, WITH SEVERAL JURISDICTIONS WITHIN THE COUNTY.

AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO COMBINE ALL OF THE JURISDICTIONS UNDER A UNIFORM CONTRACT.

SO THIS CONTRACT IS VERY SIMILAR TO, UH, SEVERAL OF THE OTHER JURISDICTIONS, WHICH ARE ACCEPTING.

AND SO WE WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL ON MONDAY, UH, ADOPT THIS PARTICULAR LEGISLATION SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY FOR, UH, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SERVICES, ANY QUESTIONS FOR BRIAN, ANY OBJECTIONS TO MONDAY.

ITEM THREE, I, WHICH IS THE MASSAGE SYRIA ESTABLISHMENT.

AND NEXT IS

[ Massage Therapy Establishments]

UM, AND THIS WOULD BE FOR, UH, JERRY AND CHIEF LEITNER.

UM, AND THE LAST MEETING WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE VIRTA, I CAN'T PRONOUNCE THAT THE PARTICULAR TYPE OF MASSAGE AND THE QUESTION WAS WHETHER OR NOT THE, UH, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, UM, WAS CERTIFIED THE MISUSE.

AND FROM WHAT WE FOUND OUT IS THAT THIS ASSOCIATION MASSAGES FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, PRACTITIONERS THAT DO MULTIPLE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT INCLUDE MASSAGE, BUT THEY DON'T SEPARATELY JUST DO SOMEBODY FOR MASSAGE.

SO YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET THAT CERTIFICATION FOR JUST THAT MASSAGE.

UM, SO, AND THEN I, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE TO ADD ON THAT.

UM, BUT THE OTHER THING THAT, UH, WAS A LITTLE CONCERNING WAS THAT SOME OF YOU HAD SAID, YOU'RE NOT EVEN SURE YOU'D, YOU'D REALLY WANT TO GO THAT ROUTE ANYWAY.

SO I WANTED TO GET A BETTER FEEL FOR YOU.

SO I WOULD KNOW, YOU KNOW, IS THIS SOMETHING COUNCIL'S STILL WANTS TO SEE ON, ON MONDAY? AND IF SO, HOW I SHOULD, UH, REWORD IT, IF ANY, AT ALL.

SO DO WE HAVE, SO HOW DID THIS KIND OF COME ABOUT? DO WE HAVE SOMEBODY IN THE CITY THAT WANTS TO DO THIS THAT WANTS TO MAKE SURE THIS IS APPROVED, OR DO WE HAVE SEVERAL, UM, THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE PLACE IN THE CITY? THAT'S, THAT'S LOOKING FOR THIS.

I MEAN, HOW, HOW AGAIN DID THIS KIND OF COME ABOUT ISN'T NECESSARY.

IT WAS JUST ONE PERSON, OR ARE WE JUST TRYING TO COVER A BASIS? I GUESS WE HAVE A PERSON WHO,

[00:35:01]

UM, HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN THE CITY.

UM, SHE WENT ON NOTICED INITIALLY DURING THE INITIAL PHASE WHERE WE STARTED, UM, CONTACTING THE MASSAGE THERAPISTS LOCATIONS AND GETTING THE, THE APPLICATIONS AND, AND DOING THE CERTIFICATE OR NOT THE CERTIFICATIONS, BUT THE LICENSING.

AND WHAT HAVE YOU, OR THE PERMITS, I'M SORRY.

UM, WE FOUND OUT THAT THIS PERSON WAS OPERATING WITHIN THE CITY.

UM, SHE'S VERY WELL TRAINED.

SHE'S JUST NOT TRAINED THROUGH THE, UM, MEDICAL BOARD.

SO, UM, THAT'S HOW THIS CAME ABOUT.

UM, WE WANTED TO TRY AND LOOK FOR A FAIR WAY TO TRY AND, AND DO SOMETHING.

UM, SHE HAS ANOTHER PERSON WHO ALSO DOES MASSAGE WAS THERE.

WHO'S ALSO TRAINED.

UM, AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE CITY MANAGER.

WHO'S NO LONGER HERE.

UM, AND THAT'S HOW THIS CAME ABOUT.

SO DO WE ACTIVELY MAKE SURE THAT AND KEEP TRACK OF I'M ASSUMING WE ARE.

SO I JUST KINDA WANT TO GET IT ON THE RECORD HERE.

ARE WE ACTIVELY TRACKING NEW PLACES THAT MIGHT OPEN OR DIFFERENT NEW MASSAGE PLACES KIND OF MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THIS ARE LEGITIMATE AND ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG? I MEAN, WE ARE ACTIVELY MANAGING THAT EVERY YEAR.

UM, I REACH OUT TO THE MASSAGE THERAPIST LOCATIONS AROUND DECEMBER, LATE NOVEMBER, AND I GO THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS WITH THEM EVERY YEAR.

UM, WHEN THIS INITIALLY STARTED, WE CLOSED DOWN SEVERAL, UM, I THINK FOUR, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST.

UM, YES, I DO.

I MEAN, UM, WE'VE HAD, LIKE, WE TOOK ON A NEW ONE THIS YEAR WHO MET ALL THE CERTIFICATIONS AND STUFF WE FOUND OUT ABOUT HER.

UM, SHE WAS NOT, SHE HAD NEVER BEEN LICENSED, BUT SHE'S A LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST.

SO WE GOT, YEAH, WE, WE WE'VE SCHEDULED, WE'D GIVEN HER PERMIT AND, AND WHAT HAVE YOU.

SO, UM, SHE'S NOW SQUARED AWAY AND, BUT YEAH, WE DO, WE DO TRACK, UM, I DO GET PHONE CALLS OCCASIONALLY BECAUSE NORMALLY WHAT THE PERSON DOES IS THEY REACH OUT TO ZONING FIRST AND THEN ZONING, UH, REFERS THEM TO ME TO LET THEM KNOW, HEY, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S ALSO MORE THAN JUST A ZONING PERMIT THAT YOU NEED.

WE ALSO HAVE A, A MASSAGE ORDINANCE AND THEN THEY REACH OUT TO ME.

SO YEAH, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, THAT WE TRY AND KEEP TRACK OF.

AND, UM, IT, IT DID SERVE THE PURPOSE OF GETTING RID OF, UH, UM, I KNOW THAT WE HAD TWO OF THEM WHERE WE HAD HAD SOME PROSTITUTION GOING ON, THAT WE WERE ABLE TO SHOW THAT WE HAVE PROSTITUTION, UH, GOING ON AND IT DID CLOSE DOWN BOTH OF THOSE INITIALLY.

IT WAS, UM, AN AYURVEDIC MASSAGE, LIKE, UH, IT WAS ADVERTISED ON FACEBOOK ESSENTIALLY.

SO THIS IS ABOUT, SO WE HAVE AN ACTIVE, UM, PERSON WHO PRACTICES, WHO DOES THIS TYPE OF MASSAGE IN THE CITY, AND THIS IS YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS, A WAY TO ALLOW HER TO KEEP, TO KEEP, TO KEEP DOING THAT UNDER SHE'S SHE'S CERTIFICATION OR PERMITTED PROCESS, THE DATA AND AT YOUR VET IS, UM, BASICALLY A TYPE OF IT'S A RELAXATION MASSAGE.

AND UNFORTUNATELY THE RELAXATION MASSAGE IS WHAT THE PEOPLE WERE USING.

THE STATE OF OHIO AT THIS TIME DOES NOT REQUIRE A, UH, LICENSED TO DO RELAXATION MASSAGES.

SO THAT WAS THE, THE PURVIEW OR NOT THE PURVIEW, BUT THAT WAS THE, WHAT PEOPLE WERE USING TO DO THE ILLEGAL MASSAGES.

THEY WEREN'T REALLY MASSAGES, BUT, UM, BUT THIS, WE FOUND AS WE, AS WE COME THROUGH HERE, THAT THERE ARE SOME LEGITIMATE RELAXATION, MASSAGE PLACES OUT THERE, UM, WHICH HER BEING ONE OF THEM, I MEAN, THAT'S, THAT'S WHY I WENT TO THE CITY MANAGER TO, TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOME WAY THAT WE COULD DO SOMETHING TO ALLOW THE LEGITIMATE BUSINESSES TO CONTINUE WHILE WEEDING OUT THE, UM, THE KNOWLEDGE OF MR. SO I KNOW NOT ASKING FOR EVEN THE NAME OF THE BUSINESS OR ANYTHING ELSE, BUT HEATHER, HAVE WE HAD ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR BUSINESS OR IS THERE ANY REASON TO THINK THAT SOMETHING IS GOING ON THERE THAT SHOULDN'T BE GOING ON? AND I UNDERSTAND ALL THE COMMENTS COUNCIL MADE LAST TIME ABOUT WORRYING ABOUT PROSTITUTION, AND NOW WE NEED TO, THAT THESE THINGS ARE GOING ON.

WE NEED TO CRACK DOWN ON THAT, CERTAINLY.

BUT IS THERE ANY REASON TO THINK, DO WE HAVE ANY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THERE'S ANYTHING GOING ON WITH THIS PARTICULAR BUSINESS OR THIS MASSAGE THERAPIST THAT SHOULDN'T BE THIS PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL ACTUALLY DOES MASSAGE, UM, FOR, SHE'S DONE FOR DOCTORS, OFFICES, NURSING HOMES.

UM, SHE HAS A, A PRETTY GOOD, UM, REPUTATION.

UM, THAT'S WHY, THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT IT FORWARD.

UM, I DID CHECK THE ADDRESS, UM, AND THERE'S NOTHING, THERE'S NO CALLS FOR SERVICE AS FAR AS THERE WAS NO BELIEF OF PROSTITUTION OR ANYTHING.

ACTUALLY, THE ONLY WAY THAT I FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS EVEN DOING MASSAGES IS BECAUSE THERE WAS A, UM, A THING ON FACEBOOK WHERE

[00:40:01]

AND ONE OF THE OTHER MASSAGE THERAPISTS FORWARDED IT TO ME AND THAT'S WHEN WE THOUGHT, OKAY, WE NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS.

SO WE WENT TO HER, SHE CAME IN AND SAT DOWN AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY.

AND I, I DO POINT OUT, I'M SORRY, MS. PRITCHARD AND INTERRUPT THAT, UM, IT'S NOT ONLY WOULD THEY HAVE THIS CERTIFICATION, BUT THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO REGISTER WITH US TO GET OUR LOCAL PERMIT AND GIVE US NAME AND ADDRESS AND NAMES OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING THERE AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF, UM, PUBLIC EXPOSURE, NO PUN INTENDED, UM, IN THIS TYPE OF THING, AS OPPOSED TO THE HIDDEN MASSAGE PARLORS OF THE PAST.

SO THAT'S THE OTHER KIND OF PROTECTION WE HAVE IN HERE IS EVEN IF WE, IF WE DO DECIDE TO PERMIT THIS, UM, IT IS A LEGITIMATE TYPE OF MASSAGE.

THERE IS AT LEAST SOME SORT OF CERTIFICATION PROCESS, BUT THEY WOULD STILL HAVE TO REGISTER WITH THE CITY AND BE CHECKED ON EVERY DECEMBER.

IT SOUNDS LIKE, AND GO THROUGH ALL THAT PROCESS.

THOSE PEOPLE DISAPPEARED.

SO I MEAN, JUST AS OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE CITY, I MEAN, IS THAT, IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL, THE WAY THAT WE ALLOW THIS AND ALLOW THIS BUSINESS TO CONTINUE DOING THIS? I MEAN, IS THAT KIND OF WHAT, I MEAN, I KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION OR THOUGHT OR EVEN COMFORTABLE SAYING WHAT YOU THINK, BUT I MEAN, I THINK FOR US TO HAVE GUIDANCE, TO KNOW THE RIGHT THING TO DO HERE, I WOULD FEEL MUCH BETTER KNOWING OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND OUR, AND OUR CHIEF AND, UM, YOU KNOW, UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

YOU THINK WE, WE SHOULD ALLOW BECAUSE YOU GUYS KNOW BETTER THAN US.

I THINK IN THIS CASE.

SO LIEUTENANT, LIEUTENANT DELANEY IS OUR RESIDENT EXPERT IN THE SIDE.

AND I TOLD HIM, I TOLD HIM, THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT IT MAY HAVE TO BE DEMONSTRATED.

UM, NO, WE HE'S.

HE'S VERY INVOLVED WITH, UH, THE PROCESS AND MAKING SURE THAT EVERYBODY STAYS, UM, PERMITTED EVERY YEAR.

UM, HE DID A VERY GOOD JOB OF MAKING SURE THAT THE ONES THAT WEREN'T AND THE ONES THAT WE HAD TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST WERE SHUT DOWN.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE AT NOW.

UM, OR THEY'RE NOT HERE.

NO, THEY'RE NOT HERE.

UM, BUT IN THIS CASE FROM TALKING TO HIM ABOUT IT, UM, AND HE'S KIND OF TAKEN THE BALL ON THIS ONE, I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND HE CAME TO THE LAST MEETING, BUT NO, WE DON'T, WE DON'T SEE ANY ACTIVITY LIKE WE SAW BEFORE THAT CAUSED US TO, YOU KNOW, RUN THOSE OUT OF THE CITY.

UH, I IMAGINE THAT OTHER MASSAGE THERAPIST OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL THEM WILL HELP YOU POLICE THE ONES THAT ARE QUESTIONABLE.

UM, THE QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU IS, UH, CAN YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT CERTIFICATIONS YOU TAKE? BECAUSE WE JUST HEARD THAT THE CERTIFIED THAT THERE IS NO CERTIFICATION FOR THE I AVEDA, UH, MASSAGES NATIONALLY.

UM, SO WHAT KIND OF CERTIFICATIONS, DIFFERENT TYPES OF CERTIFICATIONS DO YOU ACCEPT? UM, WELL, I HAVEN'T ACCEPTED ANY AT THIS TIME, BUT, UM, WHAT WE WANTED TO SEE WAS SOME SORT OF CERTIFICATION THROUGH AN ACCREDITED PLACE THAT DOES, UM, THE TEACHERS, THE AYURVEDA NAMA, WHICH YOU MENTIONED AT THE LAST MEETING THAT I WAS AT IS THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MEDICAL, OR I'M SORRY, NATIONAL AYURVEDIC MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.

UM, AND WHEN I DID SOME RESEARCH, THERE'S A, THERE'S AN AYURVEDIC CLINIC IN BEAVER CREEK.

AND I NOTICED THAT THEY HAVE A PRACTITIONER WHO WAS NON-CERTIFIED AND THEN SHE HAS PEOPLE DOING UNDER, AND I HAVEN'T TALKED TO HER, BUT WHEN I LOOKED AT THE BIOS, SHE HAS PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST TRAINED IN HOW YOU'RE VETTED MASSAGE, WHO DO AGGRAVATED MASSAGES FOR HER.

UM, WHEN I LOOK AT LIKE A LOT OF THESE ARE TAUGHT THROUGH YOGA STUDIOS WHO ARE PART OF THE NATIONAL AYURVEDIC MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OR WHATEVER, OR THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY PART OF IT, BUT THEY LIST THAT AS ONE OF THEIR, LIKE, THEY, THEY USE PROGRAMS THROUGH THAT, OR WHAT HAVE YOU, IF THAT MAKES SENSE, LIKE TRAINING, UM, A LOT OF THE INSTRUCTORS WHO TEACH THE AYURVEDIC MASSAGE, THIS YOUNG LADY HERE THAT I'M SPEAKING OF WAS TRAINED THROUGH THE YOGA LOFT.

SHE'S TRAINED THROUGH MULTIPLE DIFFERENT PLACES.

UM, AND I ACTUALLY PULLED SOME BIOS AND STUFF UP, UM, WHEN I HAD STARTED GOING THROUGH THIS AND A LOT OF HER, UM, TRAINING ARE FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE, UM,

[00:45:01]

LICENSED AND THROUGH THE STATE OF OHIO.

AND, UM, LIKE SHE'S TAKEN SOME TRAINING AT THE AYURVEDA NATURAL HEALTH CENTER, WHICH IS THE ONE IN BEAVER CREEK, WHICH IS THE PRACTITIONER.

THERE IS NOT, UH, NAMA CERTIFIED OR WHATEVER NAMA.

IT'S A CERTIFICATION.

SO, SO THAT, I, I HOPE THAT ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION.

IT SORTA DID, EXCEPT IF YOU TAKE THE, THE, UH, I HAVE HAD, UH, OUT OF IT, WHAT KIND OF CERTIFICATIONS DO YOU LOOK FOR GENERAL MASSAGE LOGAN? I DIDN'T READ.

I ACTUALLY DIDN'T LOOK AT OPENING IT UP TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN HOW YOUR VETERAN RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE SHE'S THE ONLY BUSINESS.

NO, NO, NO.

I MEAN, WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU CERTIFY, UH, UH, MASSAGE PARLOR AS BEING LEGITIMATE, OH, THEY HAVE TO BE LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST.

UM, ACCORDING TO OUR ORDINANCE, NOW THEY HAVE TO BE EITHER LICENSED THROUGH THE STATE OF OHIO, UM, TO THE MEDICAL BOARD AS A MASSAGE THERAPIST.

UM, THEY CAN BE A, UM, ATHLETIC TRAINER, WHICH I THINK THAT THERE'S PROBABLY SOME SORT OF CERTIFICATION FOR ATHLETIC TRAINERS.

THEY CAN DO IT AS LIKE A CHIROPRACTOR THROUGH A DOCTOR'S OFFICE OR, OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

UM, ACCORDING TO, OR OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE ALLOWS THAT.

AND OTHER QUESTIONS? YES.

I NEEDED HAVE AN ACTUAL STOREFRONT OR SHE DOING THE CELEBRATION? NO, SHE HAS A STOREFRONT.

UM, SHE'S ACTUALLY IN SULFUR GROWTH.

IT'S ACTUALLY LISTED AS A YOGA STUDIO.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS JERRY OUT OF THE COMMENTS? NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

I THINK WHAT WE HAVE, UM, WE WOULD BE AS PRESENT FORWARD ON ONE DAY.

WE ACTIVELY MANAGE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS TO THAT THIS ISN'T JUST SOMETHING THAT'S UP ON A SHELF AND, YOU KNOW, AND WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

SO IS EVERYBODY CLEAR AND UNDERSTAND WHAT'S, WHAT'S BEING ASKED, UH, FOR, FOR THE APPROVAL, THIS WOULD BE SETTING UP A PRECEDENT THAT GATE, WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN LINE.

I MEAN, I MEAN, THIS THING SINCE THERE'S NO CERTIFICATION AND JUST, WELL, THEY WOULD STILL HAVE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF TRAINING CERTIFICATION FROM, AS WE SAID SOMEPLACE.

SO, I MEAN, YEAH.

CAN THEY GO HOME AND JUST PRINT SOMETHING OUT? I'M SURE WE WOULD FIGURE THAT OUT PRETTY QUICKLY WITH OUR RESOURCES, BUT, UH, UM, I DON'T, I'M NOT TOO CONCERNED WITH THAT BECAUSE AGAIN, THE ELICIT PLACES DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO EVEN KNOW THEY'RE AROUND.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THE TIME TO COME IN AND SAY, HERE'S MY FAKE LICENSE AND REGISTER AND DO ALL THAT OTHER TYPE OF STUFF.

UM, IT'S JUST SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE BIT RISKY TO PRESENT TO THE POLICE OFFICER, YOUR, YOUR FAKE LICENSE.

UH, BUT THEN AGAIN, PROBABLY HAPPENS EVERY DAY.

UM, BUT ARE WE SETTING THE PRECEDENT? SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING TO COME BY AND SAY, WHAT ABOUT MY MASSAGE MAYBE, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME THROUGH THIS EXACT SAME PROCESS AND WE'D HAVE TO DECIDE AGAIN, ESCAPE ONE QUESTION.

SO WHEN THE PERSON COMES IN AND ASKED FOR A LICENSE OR CREDENTIALING FROM YOU, CAN YOU TELL ME THE PROCESS? UM, SOMETIMES I DON'T EVEN SEE THEM.

I SEND THEM THE INFORMATION, SAY WE HAVE AN APPLICATION THAT THEY COMPLETE.

UM, THERE'S A BACKGROUND CHECK THAT BACKGROUND CHECK DOES NOT INCLUDE LIKE A, UH, A CCH, WHICH IS A CRIMINAL HEMORRHAGE HISTORY, UM, FROM LEADS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

BUT IT DOES, WE CHECK LOCAL AND THEN, UM, UM, WE GO FROM THERE AS FAR AS THAT GOES, BUT IT DOES ASK CERTAIN THINGS.

IT'S BASICALLY, IF YOU TOOK THE ORDINANCE AND OUT OF WHAT THE ORDINANCE IS, THAT APPLICATION SAYS, OKAY, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS, THIS AND THIS.

SO ONCE THEY FILL OUT THE APPLICATION, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO SIT, TO SUBMIT TO ME, UM, PROOF OF THE, UH, MASSAGE LICENSE THROUGH THE STATE OF OHIO THROUGH THE, THAT THEY'RE LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST.

THEY'RE ALSO REQUIRED TO GIVE TO ME A LETTER FROM THE REAL PROPERTY OWNER, UM, OF THE REAL ESTATE AREA THAT THEY'RE WORKING OUT OF.

SO BASICALLY IF THEY'RE LEASING A PROPERTY SAYING, YES, WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A LICENSE OR THAT THERE'S A MASSAGE THERAPIST AT THIS LOCATION.

UM, AT THAT POINT IN TIME, I LOOK AT EVERYTHING AND MAKE SURE IT'S, IT'S GOOD.

AND I PRINT OFF A, UH, CERTIFICATE FOR THEM OR A, UH, PERMIT FOR THEM.

UM, I KEEP A, UM, A SPREADSHEET WITH DENIALS AND, AND APPROVALS, UM, FOR EACH YEAR, SINCE THIS HAS GONE ON.

UM, AND THAT'S BASICALLY THE APPLICATION PROCESS THEY FINGERPRINTED, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE NOT OKAY, THANK YOU.

AND I DO HAVE SOME COMFORT AND KNOWING THAT YOU GUYS ARE ON THIS, YOU KNOW, JUST FROM A LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE, THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, THAT

[00:50:01]

AND I WOULD EXPECT THAT IF WE'D EVER GET TO A POINT WHERE YOU THINK THIS IS AN ISSUE, OR THIS IS A PROBLEM WHERE WE'RE SEEING IT BECOME A PROBLEM, YOU'D BE BACK BEFORE IT'S GOING, HOLD UP.

I THINK WE HAVE AN ISSUE.

SO I THINK THERE'S, I MEAN, AT LEAST FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I'VE GOT SOME COMFORT IN THAT TOO.

SO, YES, RICHARD, THANK YOU.

UM, I DO APPRECIATE THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, UH, ON THIS, UM, I GUESS A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

UM, HOW LONG HAS SHE BEEN OPERATING IN THE CITY AGAIN, TO GIVE YOU AN EXACT DATE? I DON'T KNOW, BUT I THINK IT'S LIKE SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS IS FROM, FROM THE CONVERSATIONS THAT I'VE HAD WITH HER.

UM, SO WITH THAT, AND THAT'S FINE.

I DON'T NEED AN EXACT DATE.

THE FACT THAT SHE'S BEEN HERE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND OUR ORDINANCE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR, YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO SAY A FAIRLY DECENT AMOUNT OF TIME.

HOW ARE WE ACTIVELY SEEKING THESE INDIVIDUALS OUT? UM, AS YOU STATED, IT WAS FOUND ON FACEBOOK.

UM, DO WE HAVE AN INTERNAL PROCESS THAT, YOU KNOW, AS YOU KNOW, OUR OFFICERS DETECTIVES ARE OUT AND ABOUT, THEY'RE KEEPING AN EYE AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, I GUESS.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT? SO HOW WE CAN CURB THIS, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

UM, I USUALLY DO A SEARCH FOR MASSAGE AND GIVE RIDES AND GOOGLE, AND I PULL UP THE INFORMATION, UM, TO LEARN WHO WHO'S, WHO'S ACTIVELY LISTED AS A MASSAGE THERAPIST LOCATED.

UM, IF THERE'S A COMPLAINT OR SOMETHING, WE WOULD LOOK INTO IT, WHICH, LIKE I SAID, I WAS ACTUALLY GOT A TEXT MESSAGE.

I'M NOT EVEN SURE HOW THEY GOT MY PHONE NUMBER, MAYBE WHEN I TEXTED THEM PREVIOUSLY OR SOMETHING DUE TO THEM GETTING THEIR PERMIT OR SOMETHING.

BUT I GOT A TEXT MESSAGE WITH REGARDS TO THIS YOUNG LADY.

UM, AS SOON AS I GET THE TEXT MESSAGE I COME IN AND I THINK, OKAY, WHY THIS IS SOMETHING I NEED TO DEAL WITH TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

AND I ACTUALLY GO TO HER STOREFRONT.

UM, IT SAYS TO BE BACK IN 30 MINUTES OR SOMETHING, UH, THERE WAS A PHONE NUMBER HANGING THERE.

SO I CONTACTED HER.

SO A COMPLAINT WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW UP ON.

UM, BUT OTHER THAN CONTACTING ZONING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO SEARCH BASICALLY THROUGH GOOGLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO SEE, OKAY, IS THERE A NEW THERAPIST LOCATION THAT'S OPENED UP? UM, BECAUSE THERE'S NOT REALLY A LISTING OF MASSAGE THERAPISTS, THEY DON'T, UNLESS, UNLESS THEY'VE LISTED THEIR PHONE NUMBER OR WHATEVER.

SO BECAUSE, AND THE REASON I BRING THAT UP IS AS THE LAW DIRECTOR ALLUDED TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT GOING TO ACT, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE MEANS OF THE LAW, UM, UNDERSTANDING OUR CITIES, YOU KNOW, ORDINANCE, I'M SURE, YOU KNOW, BAD GUYS DO THEIR LAW RESEARCH AS WELL.

UM, ARE THEY GOING TO OPEN UP AN ESTABLISHMENT HERE AND PUT MASSAGE AND THERE, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE CAUGHT? HOW LONG, YOU KNOW, WOULD THEY POTENTIALLY BE AN OPERATION? I GUESS THAT'S MY QUESTION.

WHAT IS OUR INTERNAL PROCESS TO KIND OF PREVENT THAT? I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE HAD TWO LOCATIONS, UM, WITHIN THE CITY WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE THIS ORDINANCE AND WE HEARD ABOUT IT FAIRLY QUICKLY BECAUSE OF THE ACTIVITY.

UM, WE, WE GET INTEL AND STUFF.

UH, WE CALL IT INTEL, BUT IT'S INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION AND I'M TELLING YOU, AS SOON AS WE HAD ONE, UM, IN THE SOUTH END OF THE CITY, AND AS SOON AS WE WERE GETTING FROM BUSINESS OWNERS AND STOREFRONTS IN THAT AREA SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT, THERE'S A WEIRD ACTIVITY GOING ON HERE.

THERE'S A WHITE VAN THAT SHOWS UP, THEY DROP OFF TWO YOUNG FEMALES AND YOU JUST KNOW BY THE SUSPICIOUS NATURE THAT SOMETHING'S PROBABLY GOING ON.

UM, AND THAT'S THAT'S WITH THAT ONE.

WE ACTUALLY, BEFORE THE ORDINANCE COME OUT, WE HAD, WE'D ALREADY SENT IN, UH, AN UNDERCOVER, UH, FROM DAYTON TO, UH, TO DO SOME WORK THERE.

SO, UM, WE CONTACTED DATE AND, UM, I HAD ALREADY GONE INTO THE BUSINESS ACTUALLY, UM, WITH ONE OF THE OTHER DETECTIVES AND GOT A BUSINESS CARD AND, AND IT HAD INFORMATION ON THEM WITHIN.

AND THEN WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU GUYS PASS THIS ORDINANCE, UM, IT WAS, THEY DIDN'T EVEN ARGUE WHEN WE WENT DOWN THERE AND, AND SERVED THEM WITH NOTICE OR THE LETTER.

CAUSE THERE'S BASICALLY WHAT I DO IS IF I DON'T GIVE THEM, GIVE THEM A PERMIT, I STARTED WITH A LETTER.

IT SAYS YOU HAVE BASICALLY THIS AMOUNT OF TIME TO APPEAL IT FOR THE CITY MANAGER.

AND THEN IT APPEALS BEFORE YOU AS A COUNCIL, WHERE IS THE DYESS? AND THEN, UM, THEN IF THEY DON'T DO THAT, THEY'RE DONE, THEY, THEY CLOSED DOWN OR WE START CHARGING THEM.

EXCELLENT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR DUE DILIGENCE ON THIS PROCESS.

UM, MAYOR, I'M COMFORTABLE WITH SEEING THIS MOVE FORWARD.

MAYBE, YOU KNOW, UM, I ACTUALLY HAVE HER CERTIFICATES AND I HAVE THE MEMO THAT I SENT, BUT YES, SHE HAS, UM, MULTIPLE CERTIFICATES, UM, ARE DIFFERENT.

THANKS FOR RICHARD AND THE QUESTIONS.

YEAH, GARY, UM, ON, UH, THE FRONT PAGE OF THE ORDINANCE, THE FIRST CHANGE YOU'VE MADE, IS THAT STILL VALID? I MEAN, ARE THEY GOING TO GET, EVEN IF IT'S ORIGINAL OR ARE THEY GOING TO GET SOME TYPE OF CERTIFICATE FROM BEAVER CREEK OR WHATEVER,

[00:55:01]

I MEAN, SHE, SHE DOES DIFFERENT THINGS OTHER THAN MASSAGE.

SHE, SHE DOES STUFF THAT I'VE NEVER HEARD OF ON MAYBE TO TRY IT LIKE LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO THOUGH, YEAH.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE LANGUAGE IN THE LEGISLATION WAS RIGHT.

IS ITEM THREE, J THE BRAND PIKE REVITALIZATION PROJECT, BRIAN.

THANKS NANCY.

IF THERE'S OTHER FURTHER COMMENT, ANY OBJECTIONS TO MOVING THIS, UH, LEGISLATION ON MONDAY? OKAY.

[ Brandt Pike Revitalization Project]

YES, SIR.

A COUPLE OF UPDATES FOR CITY COUNCIL.

AS WE DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY, WE ARE STARTING TO REACH CRITICAL MASS, UH, WITH THIS PROJECT, UH, DOGTOWN, UH, HAS BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE LAW DIRECTOR REGARDING CLOSING, UH, AND THEY ARE WORKING TO BE UNDER ROOF, UH, IN THEIR NEW BUILDING.

BY NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR, UH, LIBRARY, WE MET WITH THOSE FOLKS TODAY.

WE HAD, UH, AN ISSUE WITH THEIR UTILITY CONNECTION, THEIR ELECTRIC UTILITY CONNECTION, THEIR INITIAL PROPOSAL RAN THROUGH THE PROJECT SITE OF, UH, THE HOMESTEAD GROUP.

SO WE WANTED TO BRING ALL OF THOSE FOLKS IN THE ROOM TOGETHER TO GET ALL THAT WORKED OUT.

SO WE WEREN'T MOVING AND REMOVING AND RE REMOVING.

UH, WE HAVE SO VERY PRODUCTIVE MEETING THERE.

UH, THE LIBRARY WILL BE, UH, BRINGING THEIR, UH, CONSTRUCTION TRAILER AND SOME OTHER, UH, MATERIALS ONSITE, UH, IN THE NEXT MONTH.

AND WE SUSPECT THAT, UH, THERE'LL BE, UH, THERE'LL BE PUSHING DIRT REAL SOON.

THEY ARE EXPECTED TO BE UNDER ROOF IN OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER AS WELL.

UH, AND THEY EXPECT TO BE OPEN IN MARCH OF 2023, BASED ON OUR DISCUSSION TODAY.

UH, SPEAKING OF HOMESTEAD, THEY WERE ALSO PART OF THAT MEETING THIS AFTERNOON.

WE DISCUSSED ADDITIONAL PHASING AND LAYOUT OF THEIR PARTICULAR PROJECT, TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD COORDINATE WITH ALL OF THE OTHER CONSTRUCTION ONSITE, LOT OF MUSICAL CHAIRS GOING ON AT THAT LOCATION.

UH, AND WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT, UH, FINALIZING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT LANGUAGE, UH, THAT COUNCIL HAD PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED AND EVALUATED.

SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT.

UH, AND WE'LL GET THAT TO THE LAW DIRECTOR TO SIGN OFF ON THAT.

AND WE EXPECT THEM TO BE BEFORE A PLANNING COMMISSION HERE, NOT TOO LONG, UH, WITH THEIR, UH, UH, BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN CR DATE.

AND WE DO HAVE THE, UH, THE PENDING, UH, FINANCIAL MATTER THE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION FOR THE $2.5 MILLION, UH, THAT WILL BE HOPEFULLY PASSED BY COUNCIL ON MONDAY.

UH, THANKS TO LEGISLATION PREVIOUSLY, CAP CAP PREVIOUSLY PASSED BY COUNCIL, UH, AS A RESULT OF THE, UH, THE TED FUND OR THE TED PROJECT, NUMBER TWO, UH, WE'LL BE GIVING THEM DIRECTION, UH, LATER THIS WEEK TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF BIDDING THE WORK FOR THOSE RENOVATIONS.

SO WE'LL HAVE THAT INFORMATION BACK BEFORE COUNCIL, ONCE THOSE BIDS ARE RECEIVED, I'D EXPECT THAT TO BE ABOUT 45 DAYS FROM NOW.

UH, BUT, UH, WE'LL BE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT AS, UH, UH, AS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED, UH, AS A SURPRISE, WE WERE CONTACTED BY MV RPC WHO HAD REVIEWED AND EVALUATED THE 2017 BRAND PIKE REVITALIZATION STUDY, UH, AND PUT TOGETHER A CONCEPTUAL, UH, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR BRAD PIKE BASED ON THE INFORMATION IN THERE, UH, AND IDENTIFIED THAT PROJECT AS A POTENTIAL HIGH SCORE IN SEVERAL THE RPC ODAT CATEGORIES FOR FUNDING.

SO THEY'VE ASKED US TO PUT TOGETHER A MORE DETAILED, UH, PRELIMINARY PROJECT FOR THAT.

SO THE ENGINEER'S WORKING THROUGH, UH, ESTIMATING WHAT THAT PROJECT LOOKS LIKE, UH, SUBMITTING THAT TO HEAVY RPC, TO SEE WHAT THEY THINK OF THAT PARTICULAR ESTIMATE.

UH, AND IF ALL ARROWS POINT TO GOOD, WE WILL BE BACK BEFORE COUNCIL TO TALK ABOUT A MORE FORMAL PROCESS, BECAUSE ONCE WE BEGIN THAT IF WE'RE SELECTED, WE'LL NEED TO FUND THAT.

AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF, OF WHAT WE MIGHT BE COMMITTING OURSELVES TO IN THE FUTURE, UH, CDBG.

UH, WE DID COMPLETE, UH, OUR CDBG PROJECT, WHICH WAS THE DEMOLITION OF THE FURNITURE UNITED FURNITURE STORE THAT ALSO PAVED, UH, THAT ALSO PAID, UH, TO GRIND THE MAJORITY OF THE PAVING AREA OF THE OLD PARKING LOT.

SO THAT PROJECT IS COMPLETE.

WE ARE SUBMITTING ALL OF THE APPROPRIATE PAPERWORK FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO THE COUNTY, AND THIS PROJECT WAS, UH, A REASSIGNMENT OF MONIES FOR THE MIAMI VILLAS REVITALIZATION PROJECT FROM TWO YEARS AGO.

AND THEN THE LAST ITEM I HAVE FOR COUNCIL ON REVITALIZATION IS WITH RESPECT TO LEASES AT CR DATE.

AND WE KNOW OF AT LEAST ONE LEASE THAT WILL BE COMING BEFORE COUNCIL AT THE NEXT MEETING.

SO EXPECT A VERY BRIEF EXECUTIVE SESSION ON THE WORK SESSION, UH, THE NEXT WORK SESSION, AND THEN LEGISLATION AS WELL.

UH, BUT WE COULD HAVE AS MANY AS THREE LEASES FOR A COUNCIL TO REVIEW AND APPROVED BY THOSE MEETINGS.

SO WE'LL, WE'LL, UH, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW MORE WHEN WE KNOW MORE AND THAT'S THE UPDATE I HAVE FOR COUNCILS.

THANKS, BRIAN, TAKE, UH, COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, RYAN ON THAT, ON THAT UPDATE.

[01:00:01]

SO RICHARD CAN GO MARK AND NANCY, THEN THEY WENT DOWN HERE.

UM, RYAN, ON THE DISCUSSIONS OF LEASES, UM, ARE YOU ABLE TO DISCLOSE IF THOSE ARE GOING TO BE RENEWALS NEW OR ALL THE ABOVE TWO OF THOSE WOULD BE ALL THREE OF THEM WOULD BE NEW.

OKAY, PERFECT.

UM, AND ADDITIONALLY, AND I APOLOGIZE, I WAS TRYING TO, UH, UH, TAKE NOTES THROUGH THERE.

UM, DO WE HAVE AN ESTIMATED TIMEFRAME, UM, ON THE, UM, FACADE PLAN THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER? UM, I KNOW SOME OF THE LANDSCAPE, UM, AND ROAD DISCUSSIONS THAT TOOK PLACE, UH, BY COUNCIL I'D YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER UPDATES ON THOSE? THE SCHEDULE THAT LWCC PROVIDED WAS I THINK IT WAS 12 TO 13 MONTHS WAS THE TOTAL PROJECT SCHEDULE FROM START TO FINISH.

SO ONCE WE HAVE A FINAL CONTRACTOR, UH, IDENTIFIED AND SELECTED BY COUNCIL, THE CLOCK WOULD START ONCE THE CONTRACT WAS AWARDED.

YEAH, BECAUSE I DO KNOW THERE'S BEEN IDENTIFIED AS SOME, UM, YOU KNOW, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, UM, I GUESS TIME-SENSITIVE ISSUES DOWN THERE THAT I KNOW THAT YOUR OFFICE HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF AND ADDRESS THROUGH THAT, UH, THAT ORGANIZATION.

UH, WOULD I BE CORRECT IN THAT? SO SOME OF THE, THE GUTTER WORK I SAW, THERE WERE SOME, SOME CONES AND SOME YELLOW TAPE WITH THAT IN THE SITE DOWN THERE, I NOTICED SOME, UH, SOME POTHOLES AND SOME OTHER THINGS.

THERE ARE SOME ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED WITH THAT FACILITY.

KEEP IN MIND THAT WE HAVE, WE HAVE HIRED A COMPANY WHO DOES THAT WORK FOR US, AND THEY FOLLOWED THE SAME STEPS OR PROCEDURES THAT WE WOULD NORMALLY DO WITH REGARD TO ACQUIRING MULTIPLE CLOTHES OR OBTAINING MULTIPLE BIDS.

I KNOW THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THOSE ISSUES AND THEY ARE WORKING TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITIES, MINDFUL OF THE ULTIMATE WORK THAT WE'RE TRYING TO UNDERTAKE.

I CAN GET AN UPDATE FOR COUNCIL ON SOME OF THOSE MORE SPECIFIC ITEMS THROUGH, UH, THROUGH OUR CONTACT AT, YEAH, NO, I I'D APPRECIATE THAT.

CAUSE I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, WITH THE, THE LONG-TERM PLAN, WE, WE DON'T WANT TO DO A LOT OF THE WORK TWICE, BUT UNDERSTAND THERE'S SOME TIME SENSITIVE STUFF IN THERE THAT I WOULD ALMOST DEEM THAT WOULD BE CLOSE TO, TO SAFETY AND, AND DAILY OPERATION OF SOME OF THOSE BUSINESSES.

SURE.

MA'AM THANKS RICHARD.

BRING THAT UP, BRIAN, IF YOU CAN AN UPDATE ON THAT VERY QUICKLY, JUST SO WE HAVE ID AND THEN MAYBE JUST EMAIL COUNSELING INFORMATION RATHER THAN WAITING UNTIL ANOTHER, DO YOU THINK THAT'D BE INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT WHERE THEY'RE AT IN THAT PROCESS OF GETTING THOSE THINGS FIXED? SURE.

AND WE'LL REACH OUT TO OUR CONTACT AT COLEMAN TOMORROW, AND AS SOON AS SHE'S RESPONSIVE TO US, WE'LL BE RESPONSIVE TO YOU.

THANKS.

APPRECIATE IT.

UH, YES.

UH, BRIAN, I WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF COUNCIL WITH ALL THE CHALLENGES THAT YOU'VE BEEN FACED WITH SINCE BEING THE INTERIM CITY MANAGER, YOU'VE REALLY PULLED THE PROJECT TOGETHER.

I DON'T THINK YOU LEFT ONE POINT OUT, SO I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

I APPRECIATE THAT, NANCY.

YES.

BRIAN, DO WE HAVE, UH, UH, DATA ON WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO START THE DOGTOWN CONSTRUCTION? I DO NOT YET.

MA'AM DO NOT HAVE THAT.

UH, THEY ARE, I KNOW THEY ARE WORKING FOR, UH, THEIR PERMITS, UH, WITH THE COUNTY, UH, SO THEY CAN START ON THE FOUNDATIONS AND FOOTERS IN ADVANCE OF THE STRUCTURAL ITEMS, BUT A SPECIFIC START DATE.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE'VE BEEN PROVIDED THAT AS OF YET.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOLLOW UP.

THREE K, WHICH IS THE BRIDES COMMUNITY CENTER RENOVATIONS.

AND NEXT UP IS ITEM

[ Huber Heights Community Center Renovations]

JOSH, HOW ARE YOU, SIR? MR. MAYOR COUNCIL.

HOW'S EVERYBODY GOOD? THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT.

UM, I KNOW THAT THE, UH, THE COMMUNITY CENTER EXPENSES WITH SENSE OF YOU ALL BEFOREHAND.

SO YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE DONE AT THE BUILDING SINCE 2018.

UM, WE DIDN'T START OFFICIAL USE AS THE COMMUNITY CENTER UNTIL MID 2020.

SO SOME OF THIS WAS DONE PRIOR TO THAT, JUST BECAUSE THE BUILDING NEEDED REPAIRED.

UM, RIGHT NOW WE'RE, WE'RE AVERAGING WEEKLY TWO TO FIVE SCOUT TROOPS EVERY WEEK.

I'M ALTERNATING WEEKS WITH THEM.

SO THERE'S ONE WEEK THEY'RE THERE SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, AND THEN THERE'S ONE WEEK.

THEY'RE JUST THERE A COUPLE OF DAYS LEAVING US GENERALLY FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY FOR, UH, REGULAR RENTALS.

UM, WE'RE AVERAGING 20 TO 25 RENTAL DAYS A MONTH.

UH, WE HAD, UH, 40 RENTALS LAST YEAR, NOT INCLUDING THE SCOUT TROOPS AND I ALREADY HAVE 24 SCHEDULED FOR THIS YEAR.

UM, SOME ALL THE WAY THROUGH OCTOBER THAT ARE ALREADY CALLING NOW TO GET THAT SPACE.

SO IT'S DEFINITELY BEING USED, UM, THE WAY THAT WE HAVE IT SET UP RIGHT NOW, PEOPLE LOVE THE SPACE THAT THEY HAVE AND THEY LOVE THE AFFORDABILITY OF IT FOR THEIR EVENTS.

UM, OUR MAIN USAGE HAS BEEN A SCOUT TROOPS, BABY SHOWERS, BIRTHDAY PARTIES.

WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF WEEKS HAPPENED THERE.

UM, OTHER VARIOUS CELEBRATIONS, UH, WE'VE HAD ONE GROUP PULL A LIQUOR PERMIT FOR A BRIDAL SHOWER THAT THEY HAD.

UM, THEY WENT THROUGH OUR NORMAL PROCESS THAT

[01:05:01]

WE WOULD DO FOR THE PARK SHELTERS WITH THAT AS WELL.

UM, TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAD, UM, FROM THE LAST MEETING, UM, I HAVE RECEIVED A QUOTE IN THE PAST FOR SOME KITCHEN RENOVATIONS, WHICH WAS SIMPLY NEW COUNTERS FACES ON THE CABINETS AND A NEW SINKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

UM, IT WAS ROUGHLY JUST UNDER $10,000.

I DID THIS WEEK APPLY FOR A LOWE'S COMMUNITY GRANT.

UM, THAT SHOULD GO OUT FOR NOMINATION SOON IF WE ARE ACCEPTED THAT WILL, UH, DO THAT.

THAT WOULD COVER THAT PROJECT AS WELL.

THE KITCHEN RENOVATION, AS WELL AS THE PAINTING OF THE GYMNASIUM, THOSE TWO ITEMS I PUT IN THE LOWE'S COMMUNITY GRANTS.

SO WE SHOULD KNOW SOMETHING BY, I BELIEVE, MID TO LATE MAY ON, UH, NOMINATIONS FOR THAT.

UH, WE DID GET ASSIGNED ORDERED, UM, WHEN I, I JUST GOT ONE ORDER FROM ANITA, A NEW SIGN OUT THERE.

SO THEY HAD A FRESH TEMPLATE THAT THEY WERE ALREADY USING.

SO THEY JUST SWAPPED IT OUT, PUT COMMUNITY CENTER ON IT THAT WILL HOPEFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT FOUR TO FIVE WEEKS BE GOING OUT, UM, OUT FRONT BY THE ROAD SO THAT THE BUILDING WILL BE MORE RECOGNIZABLE THAT WAY, OTHER THAN WHAT THE SMALLER SIGN WE HAVE BY THE BUILDING, UH, THAT WAS ROUGHLY $4,100 FOR THE SIGN THERE.

SO WE CAN ADD THAT COST IN AS WELL.

AND THEN AS FAR AS THE PARKING GOES, UM, YOU KNOW, THE ART SHOW WAS A FANTASTIC EVENT.

WE WERE SO EXCITED ON HOW WELL ATTENDED IT WAS.

AND IT'S HONESTLY THE ONLY EVENT WE'VE EVER HAD THAT PARKING WAS NOT SUFFICIENT AT THAT PROPERTY.

UH, MOST OF THE TIME WHEN PEOPLE ARE HAVING THEIR PARTIES AND STUFF, I MEAN, THEY, YOU KNOW, THEIR FAMILIES ALL RIDING TOGETHER, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING.

SO, UH, BRIAN AND I DID SIT DOWN AND LOOK AT SOME SPACES ON THE PROPERTY THAT WE COULD USE FOR OVERFLOW PARKING, THE BOULDERS ALONG THE EDGE, TALKED ABOUT MOVING THEM BACK TO CREATE POLAND SPACES.

UH, ALONG THE DRIVE, WE HAVE ANOTHER FLAT AREA TO THE SOUTH OF THE PARKING LOT THAT WE CAN FIT CARS IN AS WELL, UM, TO JUST KIND OF AVOID THAT LARGE COST OF EXPANDING THE PARKING LOT THAT IS REALLY ONLY NECESSARY MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR.

SO I THINK THAT PRETTY MUCH COVERS EVERYTHING.

THE QUESTION, WHY IS THAT AT LEAST THAT I REMEMBER FROM THE MEETING, YES, NANCY, UM, $10,000 FOR OUR KITCHEN RENOVATION DOESN'T SEEM LIKE MUCH.

SO COULD YOU, I GUESS I'D LIKE TO HAVE SOME MORE DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW WE INTEND TO UPGRADE THE KITCHEN, BECAUSE I THINK SOME OF US HAD DIFFERENT IDEAS ABOUT WHAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE DONE IN THERE.

WELL, IF WE ADD ANY COOKING ELEMENTS, THEN WE HAVE TO PUT IN A FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM, WHICH NOW, THEN YOU'RE TALKING, YOU KNOW, A LARGE CHUNK OF CHANGE FOR THAT.

SO THE KITCHEN, THE WAY IT IS NOW, I MEAN, THERE'S COUNTER SPACE THAT PEOPLE CAN PLUG IN CROCKPOTS THEY CAN USE THEIR, UM, YOU KNOW, STERNO HEATING PANS OR WHATEVER, AND THERE'S A REFRIGERATOR THAT THEY CAN STORE THEIR, THEIR COLD FOOD OR DRINKS OR WHATEVER FOR THEIR PARTIES BEYOND THAT.

IT'S NOT A PREP KITCHEN, SO THERE'S NO COOKING THAT TAKES PLACE THERE.

UM, AND AGAIN, IF WE SET IT UP THAT WAY, THEN NOW WE GOT TO PUT IN, YOU KNOW, FIRE SUPPRESSION.

IS THERE A MICROWAVE IN THERE? THERE IS A MICROWAVE.

YES.

AND HOW OLD IS THE REVERSE BRAND NEW? JUST BOUGHT IT? UM, NO, NOT EVEN.

I JUST BOUGHT IT IN AUGUST, I THINK JUNE OR JULY OR AUGUST OF LAST YEAR IT WAS PURCHASED.

SO, UH, EVEN IF YOU'RE REDOING THE COUNTERTOPS, THAT ESTIMATE SEEMS LOW.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THOSE? UM, THE, IT WAS ESSENTIALLY JUST TO PUT IN THE SAME FOR MICAH THAT'S IN THERE NOW.

UM, OBVIOUSLY UPDATED, UM, COUNTERS OUT, SINKS OUT THE CABINETS ARE STURDY.

THE THERE, THE DOORS ARE WHAT ARE BAD.

AND SINCE THEY'RE SO HIGH, YOU KNOW, THEY, THE CONTRACTOR RECOMMENDED JUST GETTING NEW FACES FOR THEM.

SO JUST ESSENTIALLY PUTTING NEW DOORS ON ALL THE CABINETS, UH, NEW SINKS, NEW FAUCETS.

THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT IN THAT KITCHEN THAT, I MEAN, THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT TO, AND IT'S JUST COUNTERS.

RIGHT.

IT'S ALL IT'S THERE, SO.

THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THERE, BUT A LOT OF THAT PROGRAMMING INVOLVES STAFF.

UM, I WANTED TO INQUIRE ABOUT WE'VE, WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT HOW WE'RE USING IT, UH, AS A, AS A RENTAL FACILITY FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES, WHICH IS WONDERFUL.

UM, BUT WE'RE CALLING IT A COMMUNITY CENTER.

AND THE ONLY THING I'VE SEEN IS THE ART EXHIBITS FROM A COMMUNITY STANDPOINT.

AND WHILE YOU COULD COUNT THE COST, DIVERSITY COMMISSION HAD HAD A MEETING THERE, A, AN EVENT THERE.

UM, BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT, I DON'T KNOW, ARE WE PLANNING TO DO ANY PROGRAMMING AT OUR COMMUNITY CENTER OR ARE WE JUST CALLING IT A COMMUNITY CENTER, UM, WITHOUT ANY PROGRAMMING, BECAUSE TYPICALLY WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A COMMUNITY CENTER, IT'S A PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE PROGRAMMING AND THINGS FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND DO AND, AND WHATNOT.

ARE WE LOOKING TO DO ANY OF THAT OR, OR NO? UM, I MEAN, AND IT WAS CAME AS A HUGE SURPRISE TO ME WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A COMMUNITY CENTER, IT WAS JUST KIND OF, UH, IT JUST HAPPENED.

UM, BUT, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME PROGRAMMING, ESPECIALLY IN THAT AREA.

IT'D BE GREAT.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

I HAVE, UH, I HAVE A LONG LIST OF PROGRAMMING

[01:10:01]

UM, SO WE DO HAVE, UM, A LADY THAT IS GOING TO START COMING IN, UM, AND TEACHING ART CLASSES THERE, UH, SECOND TUESDAY.

SO TONIGHT I THINK IT WAS, WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A FIRST ONE.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAPPENED OR NOT SECOND TUESDAY, THIRD, TUESDAY OF EVERY MONTH, A KIDS PAINTING CLASS AND ADULT PAINTING CLASS.

AND THEN THIRD, SECOND OR THIRD, SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH, SHE'S DOING A, A BOB ROSS PAINTING CLASS.

UH, SO WE'RE STARTING THERE.

UM, I DO HAVE, I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT TRYING TO FIND SOME VOLUNTEERS THAT COULD COME IN AND DO OTHER TYPES OF COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING IN THERE, WHETHER IT BE AFTER SCHOOL, WHETHER IT BE ON THE WEEKENDS.

UM, DONNA AND I HAVE TALKED A COUPLE OF TIMES ABOUT HOW TO BRING MORE ART INTO THAT FACILITY.

UM, AND AGAIN, IT'S WITHOUT A LARGE VOLUNTEER BASE, I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S A STAFFING THING.

UM, SO YES, UH, THERE WILL BE PROGRAMMING IN THE FUTURE JUST RIGHT NOW.

IT'S WHAT I CAN GET PEOPLE TO COME DO.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

I WOULD JUST, I'D LIKE TO SEE MORE.

ABSOLUTELY.

ANYTHING ELSE? YES, KATE, THANK YOU.

WHAT ABOUT LANDSCAPING? WHAT'S OUR PLAN FOR, CAUSE THE FRONT IS KIND OF A PLAIN FACADE.

ANY BUSHES PLANNED OR FLOWERS OR PRENUPS WE CAME.

IT WAS JUST THE QUESTION.

AND WHAT ABOUT FOR PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT? WE, I KNOW WE TORE THAT ONE OUT, CAUSE IT WAS IN DISREPAIR.

I, UH, I PLANNED A BUDGET FOR THAT IN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO, JUST KIND OF SEEING OUR OTHER REPLACEMENT SCHEDULES FOR OUR OLDER STRUCTURES.

I, I HATE TO THROW SOMETHING IN THERE AND THEN HAVE SOMETHING ELSE, UM, YOU KNOW, NEED REPAIR OR REPLACE RIGHT AWAY.

SO LOOKING THROUGH OUR REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE FOR EVERYTHING ELSE AND SEEING WHERE WE CAN FIT THAT INTO THE TIMELINE.

UM, AND THIS GOES BASKETBALL NETS.

THERE'S TWO, THERE'S SEVERAL NUTS.

OOPS.

HERE THERE'S TWO HOOPS THERE.

YEAH, THEY, THEY HAVE NUTS ON THEM.

UM, AND THEN WHAT ABOUT AN ALARM AND SOME CAMERAS FOR THE BUILDING, UH, ALARM? NO, WE HAD AN ALARM THERE BACK WHEN IT'S CAMPFIRE USA.

AND SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN DEACTIVATED, BUT GIVING A DOOR CODE FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN THAT I PROGRAMMED SPECIFIC CODES FOR GROUPS AND THEN THEY GET ERASED AFTERWARDS.

UM, BUT THEN HAVING TO HAVE ANOTHER CODE FOR THEM TO PUT IN AND THEN IF THEY DON'T SET THE ALARM, THEN THEY'RE CALLING MYSELF OR WHOEVER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO COME AND SET THE ALARM, WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENS AT CLOUD PARK WITH OUR, OUR MAINTENANCE BUILDING.

IF THAT ALARM DOESN'T GET SET, THEY ALERT US USUALLY NOT UNTIL TWO IN THE MORNING.

UM, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T NOTICE IT UNTIL THEN IT'S ON PURPOSE.

IT'S RIGHT AFTER THE BREAK TIME.

SO, UM, I WOULD SAY AN ALARM PROBABLY NOT NECESSARY, BUT CAMERAS ON THE OUTSIDE.

UH, WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT.

UM, WE DO HAVE INTERNET AT THE BUILDING NOW.

UH, BRANDON'S WORKING ON, UH, GETTING THAT SET UP.

SO I MEAN, WE, WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT SIMPLY JUST MAYBE HAVING EYES ON THE PARKING LOT OR, OR BACK ON THE BASKETBALL COURTS OR JUST LIKE, EVEN IN THE BUILDING, LIKE JUST KIND OF INSIDE THE BUILDING WOULD BE TROUBLESOME BECAUSE THEN ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THERE BECOMES PUBLIC RECORD REQUEST OF ALL, I GUESS I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT.

MARTIN, THANK YOU, JOSH, FOR ALL YOUR WORK.

JOSH, APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO.

UH, IN REGARDS TO THE PROGRAMMING THAT MR. OTTO BROUGHT UP, UH, I WOULD SUPPORT THAT PLEASE.

UM, AND IS THAT SOMETHING IN REGARD TO THE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THAT YOU WOULD WORK WITH BRIAN AND JIM, AND MAYBE TRY TO INTEGRATE IN THE 2023 BUDGET? UM, POSSIBLY IF WE COULD GET SOMETHING IN THAT SOON, I CAN TALK TO THEM AND SEE WHAT'S WHAT'S PLAUSIBLE.

WHAT, UH, WHAT SORT OF MONEY, ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL WOULD YOU BE THINKING ABOUT THAT? I HAVE NO IDEA.

I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT, UM, YOU KNOW, TYPE OF TIME WOULD BE NEEDED THERE.

UM, SO I'D HAVE TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THAT MAYBE, UH, BETWEEN NOW AND THE PRESENTATION OF THE 20, 23 BUDGET, IF HE COME UP WITH ANY IDEAS, UH, MAYBE THE MAYOR COULD, UH, UH, SCHEDULE YOU TO COME BACK AND SHARE SOME OF YOUR THOUGHTS.

SO WE COULD, UH, TALK ABOUT PROGRAMMING AT THAT FACILITY AND, AND WHAT IT MAY LOOK.

YEP.

I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THAT.

JOSH, YOU JUST DON'T LET ME KNOW WHEN, WHEN YOU MIGHT HAVE INFORMATION OR READY AND UM, YOU LET ME KNOW THEN WE'LL WALK YOU BACK.

CERTAINLY.

YEP.

AND WE CAN ALSO ADD THAT IN.

SO I KNOW PARKS AND REC BOARD IS DISCUSSED DOING THE, THE SURVEY OR WHATEVER.

UM, I MEAN, WHETHER IT'S NECESSARY OR NOT, WE KINDA KNOW WHAT WE NEED THERE, BUT, UH, I MEAN, IT'S DEFINITELY GETTING EARS OUT TO THE COMMUNITY TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN IS DEFINITELY IMPORTANT.

I THINK, ESPECIALLY IN THAT AREA.

AROUND, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO QUICKLY TO TRY TO PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER, BUT IT'S, IT'S ON OUR RADAR FOR SURE.

YES.

UH, WE HAVE A LOT OF CRAFTED PEOPLE HERE IN THE CITY.

HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT DOING LIKE AN ARTS AND CRAFTS SHOW THERE? UM, MAYBE PRIOR TO THE HOLIDAYS OR IT'S BEEN DISCUSSED? YEAH.

UM, LAST YEAR THE IDEA WAS BROUGHT UP AND WE KIND OF PLAYED WITH IT TO SEE, BUT BY THE TIME, YOU KNOW, IT CAME

[01:15:01]

SO TO SPEAK, UM, YOU BRING THAT WISHLIST BACK TO US AND WE CAN ACTUALLY HAVE IT, LOOK IT, REVIEW IT AND THE TERM OF WHAT MAKES SENSE.

YES, I NEED IT.

I WANT TO THANK YOU.

IT'S REAL EASY TO RENT THAT.

UM, I LIKED THE SYSTEM OF THE CODE.

I WAS VERY EASY TO USE THE ONE THING.

UM, HAVE YOU LOOKED AT TABLES AND SHARES? I WAS THE ONLY KIND OF ROLE ISSUE THERE.

I THOUGHT THE KITCHEN WORKED GREAT WHEN I USED IT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY ADEQUATE AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

UM, JUST, I HAD HEARD YOU GUYS HAD TO BRING TABLES AND CHAIRS IN FOR LIKE THE ART SHOW AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

WOULD IT BE BETTER TO POSSIBLY LOOK AT FUNDING, SOME TABLES AND CHAIRS THAT WOULD BE THERE? SO WE HAVE 13 CHAIR OR 13 TABLES THAT STAY THERE ALL THE TIME.

UH, WE, BECAUSE OF HOW THE SIZE OF THE ART SHOW, WE DID BRING IN ADDITIONAL TABLES FROM THE SENIOR CENTER.

UM, SO WE HAVE, I SAID 13 TABLES.

WE HAVE ABOUT 50 CHAIRS.

THOSE HAVE ALL BEEN PURCHASED SINCE THE BUILDING OPENED UP, UM, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MAYBE A TABLE OR TWO THAT WE HAD AT OTHER FACILITIES.

UM, BUT YEAH, IT'S, IT'S IN MY, UM, MY LOOK FOR THIS YEAR TO SEE, BECAUSE WE'VE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE COME IN AND GO, OKAY, WELL, WE'RE LOOKING TO HAVE A HUNDRED PEOPLE.

SO OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE THE MEANS FOR THAT.

UM, AND IT'S ALSO FINDING THE SPACE WITHIN THE BUILDING TO STORE THOSE THAT DOESN'T TAKE UP THE SPACE OF THE ROOM USAGE.

UM, SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I'M LOOKING AT AND TRYING TO JUST FIGURE OUT LOGISTICALLY THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT.

MY OTHER THING IS, HAVE YOU TALKED TO MONTGOMERY COUNTY BOARD OF DDS? CAUSE THEY'RE ALL THE TIME LOOKING FOR PLACES TO USE FOR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES.

I CAN GIVE YOU THE CONTACT AFTER THE MEETING.

WHERE'S YOUR, THANK YOU, JOSH.

I, UH, APPRECIATE THE EXPENSE REPORT THAT WAS SENT OUT.

UM, AND IT APPEARS, AND PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

UH, A MAJORITY OF THAT, UH, WAS COMPLETED PRIOR TO JANUARY OF 2021 OF MY, WOULD I BE CORRECT ON THAT? UM, 'CAUSE I DIDN'T SEE ANY DATES OR TIMES I WOULD JUST KIND OF, YOU KNOW, FROM 2018 TO 2022, YEAH.

ENVIRONMENTAL DOCTOR AND THE REMODEL RECONSTRUCTION FOR THE RESTROOMS THAT WAS ALL DONE IN 2018.

UM, MOST EVERYTHING ELSE, UH, ON THAT LIST HAS BEEN DONE, UH, SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE PROBABLY OCTOBER OF 2020.

SO THOSE TWO LARGE THINGS WERE DONE BEFOREHAND, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN DONE SINCE OCTOBER OF 22.

AND THE REASON I BRING THAT UP IS I KNOW I VISITED THIS SITE BEFORE THE FIRST OFFICIAL SHOW, UH, BACK IN, UH, JANUARY OF 2021, UH, WITH THE PREVIOUS CITY MANAGERS SEEN A LOT OF THE UPDATES THAT HAD BEEN DONE, UH, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT WAS JUST A START.

UM, AND THERE'S A LOT MORE TO BE DONE THERE.

I KNOW WE'VE HAD, YOU KNOW, SOME CONVERSATIONS AND SOME ISSUES ON HPAC, UM, OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, HEATING AND COOLING.

I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME THINGS FIXED ON THAT.

UM, YOU KNOW, RECENTLY I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, OTHER CONVERSATIONS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HIV OPPORTUNITIES OUT THERE.

UM, YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE THERE'S TWO OFFICES THAT ARE SET UP.

UM, YOU KNOW, I KNOW IN THE LONG RUN, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT SPOT TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE A PERMANENT STAFF PART-TIME INDIVIDUAL OUT THERE.

SO I, I THINK THOSE TIMES THOSE TYPE OF BUDGET EXPENSES IS WHAT I WAS HOPING THAT WE'D HAD ALREADY BEEN SETTLED ON AN ADDITION TO, YOU KNOW, THE PLAYGROUND.

UM, I STILL BELIEVE THAT THE PARKING LOT ITSELF, UM, SPEAKING WITH THE PREVIOUS CITY MANAGER BACK IN JANUARY OF 2021 IN YOURSELF, UM, THAT PARKING LOT AND THAT BASKETBALL COURT ITSELF NEEDS RESURFACE AND IT NEEDS COMPLETED.

UM, I MEAN, THERE'S JUST A LOT OF COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, UPDATES THAT NEED TO BE DONE THERE, AESTHETICALLY AND, YOU KNOW, UH, AN APPEASING.

I KNOW THERE WAS SOME, SOME WINDOWS, I REMEMBER THE OLD GREATS THAT WERE ON THE WINDOWS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

UM, SO YEAH, YEAH.

I STILL THINK THERE'S A LOT TO BE DONE.

AND THAT'S THAT, THAT'S THAT REPORT THAT I'M LOOKING BACK, UM, TO SAY, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM THIS COUNCIL TO MAKE THAT COMMUNITY CENTER, THE COMMUNITY CENTER, NOT JUST A RECREATIONAL SPOT THAT PEOPLE CAN RENT EVERY NOW AND AGAIN IN A FEW GROUPS CAN, YOU KNOW, CALL IT A HOME, YOU KNOW, EVERY SECOND TUESDAY.

UM, I REALLY THINK WE NEED TO GET THE BEST BANG FOR OUR BUCK OUT OF THIS, YOU KNOW, LOCATION AND EVEN SPEAKING WITH THE PREVIOUS CITY MANAGER.

AND I BELIEVE YOURSELF THERE'S EVEN POSSIBILITIES FOR BUILDING EXPANSION ON THAT PROPERTY, UH, BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH ROOM, UH, BECAUSE, UH, YOU KNOW, WE FAILED TO EXPAND THE, YOU KNOW, BY COMMUNITIES DOWN THERE.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF ROOM DOWN THERE, UH, FOR GROWTH AND EXPANSION.

AND, UM, AND I THINK WE NEED TO SET OURSELVES NOT ON TOMORROW, UM, BUT THE FUTURE AND WE NEED TO DO IT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.

SO I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THAT.

UH, I, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE, YOU KNOW, FACILITY HAS GOT, UH, UM, YOU KNOW, BIGGER THINGS TO COME AND A FUTURE.

UM, BUT I, I REALLY NEED, I GUESS, YOUR WISHLIST, UH, FOR THAT LOCATION TO MAKE IT WHAT IT CAN BE.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

IT'S ACTUALLY JUST, WHAT DO I JUST WROTE DOWN RICHARD? UH, WHAT I'D ASKED IS LET'S, LET'S JUST START BIG.

SO LET'S LOOK AT A WISHLIST,

[01:20:01]

AND THEN MAYBE LOOK AT HOW THOSE WISHLIST ITEMS FIT INTO THE BUDGETING PROCESS, UH, YOU KNOW, OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 24 MONTHS AND SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

BUT I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, AND COUNCIL'S MADE IT PRETTY CLEAR WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE OUT OF THAT BUILDING, BUT THE COMMUNICATION IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND YOU JUST KIND OF PUT IT ALL TOGETHER.

SAY, MAN, IF I COULD JUST SNAP MY FINGERS, THIS IS WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE, BRING IT BACK TO US AND LET US SIT DOWN AND FIGURE OUT WHERE IT FITS IN THE BUDGET.

FEEL GOOD.

I'M GOOD WITH IT.

YES, ANITA, I THINK I TOLD YOU BEFORE THE ELECTION, EVEN I, MY GOAL IS IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS, WE HAVE A FULL PARK AND REC DEPARTMENT.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE US HAVE SOMETHING, NOT NECESSARILY THE SKATING RINK AND STUFF LIKE THAT, BUT PROGRAMMING LIKE KETTERING ROCK HAS AND HAS HAD FOR YEARS, WE WERE CLOSE TO THEIR SIZE.

I DON'T SEE WHY WE CAN'T EVENTUALLY RUN REC PROGRAMS. SO I AGREE.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHAT DO YOU SEE AS OUR FUTURE AND PUT TOGETHER THAT PLAN I'LL WORK ON THAT.

GOOD.

ANYTHING ELSE? THANKS, JOSH.

APPRECIATE YOU.

AND CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW BIKE.

NOT YET.

L WHICH IS THE COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN STEERING COMMITTEE BRIGHT.

NEXT UP IS ITEM THREE

[ Comprehensive Development Plan Steering Committee]

YES, MR. MAYOR, UH, AS COUNSEL'S AWARE, WE'VE ENGAGED A YARD AND COMPANY TO HELP US WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND MY APOLOGIES FOR THE CONFUSION THAT MY, MY GOOD INTENTIONS STARTED TO MINIMIZE YOUR, YOUR INVOLVEMENT, UH, WITH ALL THE OTHER THINGS YOU HAVE GOING ON.

UH, IN SHORT, A YARD WOULD LIKE TO PUT TOGETHER A CITIZEN STEERING COMMITTEE OR AN INTERESTED PERSON STEERING COMMITTEE, UH, TO HELP THEM, UH, KEEP TRUE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE VIEWS OF THE CITY.

UH, SO THIS PROCESS WILL INVOLVE INPUT FROM COUNCIL DIRECTLY.

IT WILL HAVE SEVERAL, UH, PUBLIC FORUMS THAT WILL INVOLVE, UH, INPUT FROM STAFF.

UH, AND THIS STEERING COMMITTEE IS DESIGNED TO MEET FIVE OR SIX TIMES DURING THE COURSE OF THE PROJECT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, HOUR AND A HALF, JUST TO HELP, UH, GUIDE, UH, THE CONSULTANT AND THE TEAM PUTTING THIS TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN, YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC FORUM SAYS, HEY, WE WANT 50 MORE CHICKEN RESTAURANTS.

THAT'S ALL CAN SAY, HEY, DO WE REALLY WANT 50 MORE IN CHICKEN RESTAURANTS, THE STEERING VAN, MAYBE FIVE, NOT 50, YOU KNOW, UH, SO THAT'S KIND OF INFORMATION AND INPUT THAT WE'RE HOPING TO GET BACK.

UH, WE'VE ALREADY REACHED OUT TO, UH, THE BETHEL SCHOOL DISTRICT AS YOU BREW SCHOOL DISTRICT, AS WELL AS THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

UH, THOSE WERE SPECIFIC ORGANIZATIONS THAT THE CONSULTANT HAD REQUESTED.

SO WE REACHED OUT TO THEM AND ASKED THEM TO PROVIDE US NAMES.

WE'VE HEARD BACK FROM HUBRIS SCHOOLS, AS WELL AS THE CHAMBER WE HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM BETHEL, BUT I SUSPECT WE'LL, WE'LL GET A NAME FROM THEM SHORTLY IN THE INTERIM.

UH, WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TRY AND POPULATE THAT COMMITTEE AS, UH, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

WE'VE GOT SOME, UH, PLANNING MEETINGS ALREADY SET UP WITH YARD AND COMPANY, UH, TO KIND OF GET THIS THING READY TO, UH, AND WHAT WE WOULD ASK OF COUNSEL IS AS SOON AS WE HAVE A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF CANDIDATES, UH, IN THE MORE TRADITIONAL PROCESS THAT COUNCIL MAKE THE APPROPRIATE APPOINTMENTS SO THAT WE CAN STAND THIS COMMITTEE UP AND MOVE FORWARD.

UH, AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE CLERK OF COUNCIL HAS ALREADY BEGUN THE PROCESS.

UH, AND WE'VE PUT TOGETHER SOME LEGISLATION FOR COUNCIL TO APPROVE ON MONDAY.

AND WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU WOULD ADOPT THAT LEGISLATION AT THAT TIME.

THANKS, TONY, CAN YOU GIVE ME JUST AN UPDATE ON WHAT THE PROCESS WAS FROM THE APPLICATIONS OR HOW THE, TO FILL OUT THE REMAINING MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE? WE'RE LOOKING AT, UH, TWO MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, AS WELL AS THE MAYOR BEING INVOLVED AS AN EX-OFFICIO MEMBER OF THAT COMMITTEE.

UM, AND THEN AN ADDITIONAL SEVEN COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT WOULD, UH, SEEK APPLICATIONS.

UH, I DID SET OUT A POSTING A NEWS RELEASE ABOUT THAT LAST WEEK.

UH, WE'RE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THOSE SEVEN, UM, OTHER, UH, MEMBERS OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE AND THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING THOSE APPLICATIONS WOULD BE FRIDAY, MARCH THE 16TH.

OR DO WE, I'M SORRY, MARCH THE 18TH.

UM, AND SO, UH, WE'LL CONTINUE TO ACCEPT THOSE, UH, THE THERE'S INFORMATION ON THE CITY'S SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT, UH, WEBSITE AND, UM, OTHER SOURCES FOR THAT INFORMATION.

SO IF SOMEONE NEEDS AN APPLICATION IS INTERESTED, UH, CAN REACH OUT TO ME AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THEY GET AN APPLICATION, YOU CAN GET IT IN.

UH, ONCE WE RECEIVE ALL THOSE BY THE DEADLINE, THEN A COUNCIL WOULD HAVE A ROLE IN EVALUATING THOSE, UH, APPLICATIONS AND, UH, MAKING THOSE APPOINTMENTS OF THOSE SEVEN MEMBERS, AS WELL AS TO THE TWO ADDITIONAL COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WOULD BE PARTS OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE.

THANKS, TONY.

SO I THINK, UM, SO OUR NEXT WORK SESSION, IT WOULD BE THE 22ND.

AFTER THE APPLICATIONS ARE RECEIVED, I'D BE OKAY.

SO THAT WOULD BE AFTER,

[01:25:01]

SO, UM, FOR COUNSEL, I WOULD JUST SAY IF, UH, LET, MAYBE IT'S JUST THROUGH AN EMAIL OR HOW ARE WE GOING TO HAVE KIND OF PUT YOUR NAME OF THE RING OR THE HAT FOR, UH, FOR WHO WANTS TO BE ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE FOR THE, THE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS.

AND THEN WE CAN HAVE THAT, UM, W THE, THE DEADLINE FOR THE APPLICATIONS WOULD BE THE 18TH, WE'LL HAVE THOSE.

THEN WE HAVE THE WORK SESSION, UH, WHERE WE CAN OPENLY DISCUSS, UH, WHO CAN BE ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE.

AND THEN, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE TO HAVE NOMINATIONS THAT WAY TO GET COUNCIL VOTED, WHO WOULD NORMALLY DO, UM, WE CAN HOLD THE INTERVIEW PROCESS FOR, UH, THOSE, HOPEFULLY WE HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN BEING ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE.

WE GET LOTS OF APPLICATIONS FROM THE COMMUNITY, UM, BUT WE CAN HOLD THOSE INTERVIEWS, UM, TO DO THAT.

AND, UM, AND THEN BY THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL MEETING, WHICH WOULD BE ON THE 28TH, CORRECT? CORRECT.

THE 28TH MEETING THAN WE WOULD HAVE.

UM, IF BY THAT POINT, WE'D HAVE, UH, READY TO VOTE ON THE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE APPLICANTS THAT HAS BEEN INTERVIEWED PRIOR TO THAT MEETING TO HAVE THAT ALL DONE.

SO I THINK THAT WE COULD HAVE THIS ALL WRAPPED UP BY THE 28TH OF THE 20TH OF MARCH, BUT THAT COUNSELING.

SO IS THAT, IS THAT TIMEFRAME OKAY WITH THE, OUR GROUP YOU THINK, IS THAT A YEAH, SO WE HAVE A FINAL AGENDA SETTING SCHEDULE, UM, A MEETING KIND OF SCHEDULE A DEFINITION MEETING ON THE 28TH, MARCH 28TH, AND THEN THERE'LL BE AN OFFICIAL KICKOFF MEETING WITH THE APPROPRIATE STAFF, UH, ON, UH, THE 19TH OF APRIL.

SO OUR CLOCK WILL START ON THE 19TH OF APRIL.

NOT THAT THE COMMITTEE NEEDS TO BE ASSEMBLED AT THAT POINT IN TIME, BUT IF WE KNEW WHO THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WERE, THEN, UH, THE YARD GROUP WOULD SEND OUT INVITATIONS TO THEM, SETTING UP THE MEETING IN THE FIRST MEETING AND KIND OF GOING OVER THE THINGS THAT WE'VE SET ON THE 28TH WITH REGARD TO SCHEDULES AND GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

SO WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE APPLICATION, UM, SITUATION LOOKS LIKE ON THE 18TH.

AND THEN THAT GIVES US SOME TIME FOR TELLING YOU TO GET THOSE INTERVIEWS SCHEDULED THAT MAKE SURE THAT SO FAR RECEIVED SEVERAL INQUIRIES.

OKAY, GOOD.

SO ONCE WE HAVE THAT DONE, THEN WE CAN, UH, THEN TONY WILL JUST WORK WITH COUNCIL TO DO A INTERVIEW PROCESS.

LIKE WE DO, WE DO PLANNING COMMISSION AND THINGS LIKE THAT, OR ANY OF THE BOARDS OF COMMISSIONS.

SO, AND THEN ANYBODY ON COUNCIL CLEARLY IS FREE TO ATTEND THOSE INTERVIEW PROCESSES.

SO ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT PROCESS? OKAY.

ANYTHING ELSE, BRIAN, ON THE, UH, ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE? YES, SIR.

THAT IS ALL.

IS THE CITY CODE SUPPLEMENT NINE, ADOPTING ORDINANCES, TONY.

NEXT UP IS ITEM THREE M WHICH

[ City Code - Supplement 9 - Adopting Ordinance]

THESE ARE THE LAST THREE, A MINUTE AND A HALF TO GET THROUGH MY PAY.

LOOK AT THAT.

THIS IS WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO, UH, THIS IS A STANDARD THING THAT, UH, COUNCIL HAS SEEN PREVIOUSLY.

THIS IS SUPPLEMENT NINE, UH, ADOPTING ORDINANCE TO THE CITY CODE.

AND THIS IS WHEN WE INCORPORATE AND CODIFY ALL THE UPDATES THAT HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE LAST QUARTER, UH, INTO THE HUBER HEIGHTS, CODIFIED ORDINANCES.

UH, THIS WAS A RATHER LARGE SUPPLEMENT BECAUSE OF ALL THE CHANGES FROM THE ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMISSION CHANGES THAT WERE IMPLEMENTED, UH, DURING THE LAST QUARTER.

SO THIS COVERS THE PERIOD OF OCTOBER 1ST THROUGH DECEMBER 31ST, 2021, UM, AS REQUIRED BY THE CITY CHARTER, I HAVE MADE APPROPRIATE LEGAL NOTICE IN A NEWSPAPER OF GENERAL CIRCULATION AS TO THE PLANS TO ADOPT THIS SUPPLEMENT NINE AND A, THIS IS AN ORDINANCE, BUT IT CAN GO TO TWO READINGS BEFORE COUNCIL, RIGHT.

OR ADOPTION.

SO, UH, WITH COUNSEL'S PERMISSION, I'D LIKE TO PLACE THIS ON THE AGENDA, UH, FOR A FIRST READING, UM, ON MONDAY'S COUNCIL BEING OBJECTIONS.

IS ITEM THREE N WHICH IS BOARDING COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS FOR PARKS AND REC PERSONAL APPEALS BOARD IN THE MILITARY.

NEXT UP

[ Board and Commission Appointments * Parks and Recreation Board - Reappointments]

SO WE HAVE A FEW OF THESE THIS EVENING.

UH, THE FIRST IS REAPPOINTMENTS TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD.

UH, WE HAVE, UH, THREE FULL MEMBERS AND ONE SPECIAL LIAISON TO THE AND RECREATION BOARD WHO HAVE EXPIRING TERMS ON MARCH 31ST OF THIS YEAR.

UM, ALL OF THEM WISH TO SEEK REAPPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD.

AND THAT IS THE RECOMMENDATION OF CITY STAFF WHERE APPROPRIATE, UM, THE NECESSARY BACKGROUND CHECKS HAVE BEEN UPDATED ON THE INDIVIDUALS REQUIRED AND, UM, HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY HUMAN RESOURCES.

SO WITH COUNCIL'S APPROVAL, I'D LIKE TO PLACE A MOTION FOR REAPPOINTMENT OF THESE MEMBERS ON THE AGENDA FOR MONDAY.

ANY OBJECTION? YES.

GLENN, I'M JUST CURIOUS ON THE ML MELVIN COMMISSION APPOINTMENT.

WHY DON'T WE ALREADY HAVE ONE EX-OFFICIO MEMBER OF THAT BOARD AND JEFF JOHNSON.

THIS IS PARKS AND REC JEFF JOHNSON WAS MOVING FORWARD.

OF JEFF SCHWEINFURTH, UH, TO THE PERSONNEL APPEALS BOARD, UH, FOR A NEW TERM.

YOU'RE STILL ON THE FIRST ONE.

SO THE SECOND IS, UH, PERSONNEL APPEALS, BOARD REAPPOINTMENT.

UM, THE RECOMMENDATION IS THE REAPPOINTMENT

[01:30:01]

UM, HIS CURRENT TERM EXPIRES MARCH 31ST OF THIS YEAR, BUT HE WAS JUST APPOINTED LAST YEAR, UM, TO FILL IT OUT EXPIRED TERMS ARE, THEY HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A MEETING ACTUALLY, SINCE HE'S BEEN APPOINTED.

SO THERE, WHICH IS A GOOD THING ISN'T GOING TO NEED TO DO.

SO, UM, SO THE RECOMMENDATION, UM, WOULD BE TO REAPPOINT MR. SCHWEINFURTH TO A FULL TERM ON THE PERSONAL APPEALS BOARD, ANY OBJECTION? OKAY.

AND THE LAST IS, UM, A, A APPOINTMENT OF AN EX-OFFICIO MEMBER, UH, TO THE MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMISSION, UH, WHICH WOULD BE JEFFREY HELD.

UM, THE REASON, UH, FOR CONSIDERATION OF HIM AS AN EX-OFFICIO MEMBER IS, UH, HE IS A RESIDENT OF HUBER HEIGHTS, BUT AS AN ACTIVE DUTY MEMBER OF THE MILITARY, UM, HIS RESIDENCY IS OUTSIDE OF, UH, HUBER HEIGHTS IN HIS HOME STATE.

AND, UM, WHILE HE PLANS TO REMAIN HERE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, HE HAS NOT CHANGED HIS RESIDENCY, UH, TO, UM, TO HUBER HEIGHTS.

AND THAT IS A REQUIREMENT OF A MEMBERSHIP FOR, UM, UH, BOARD AND COMMISSION MEMBERS UNDER THE HUBER HEIGHTS CITY CHARTER.

UM, WE HAVE CONDUCTED THE BACKGROUND CHECK ON, UM, MR. HILL AND THE RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF, UM, AFTER AN INTERVIEW WAS TO APPOINT HIM AS AN EX-OFFICIO MEMBER.

UH, I WOULD SAY THAT, UH, CURRENTLY THE MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMISSION DOES NOT HAVE ANY ACTIVE DUTY, UH, MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY, UH, CURRENTLY SERVING ON THE COMMISSION AND, UH, IN THE INTERVIEW, UH, SOME OF THE GOALS THAT, UH, HAD ALIGNED WITH THE MILITARY AND VETERANS, UH, COMMISSION, PARTICULARLY CREATING A DATABASE OF, UH, SERVICES RELATED TO, UM, UH, MILITARY VETERANS AND MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY AND THEIR FAMILIES AND HUBER HEIGHTS, UH, WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO A BIT OF LACK THE TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND, UH, MR. HEALTH FEELS THIS AS SOMETHING THAT HE COULD ASSIST WITH AND, UH, PROVIDING THOSE SERVICES TO, UH, MOVE THAT PART OF THE, UH, GOALS OF THE COMMISSION FORWARD.

SO, UM, WITH COUNCIL'S APPROVAL, WE'D LIKE TO PLACE THIS APPOINTMENT, UM, ON THE AGENDA FOR MONDAY FOR APPROVAL, ANY OBJECTIONS.
