[1. Call The Meeting To Order - Mayor Jeff Gore]
[00:00:03]
WELCOME TO SAVE HEBREW HEIGHTS, CITY COUNCIL MEETING, REGULAR SESSION.
TODAY'S DATE IS AUGUST 8TH, 2022.
THIS MEETING IS OFFICIALLY CALLED TO ORDER.
[2. Invocation - Pastor Mister Raby Of The New Seasons Ministry At 5711 Shull Road, Huber Heights, Ohio]
UH, NEXT UP NUMBER TWO IS OUR INVOCATION AND MR. RABY OF THE NEW SEASON'S MINISTRY AT 57 11 SHELL ROAD HERE IN NEW BRIGHTS AS HERE THIS EVENING.AND GOOD AFTERNOON, I SAY GOOD AFTERNOON.
UH, THIS AFTERNOON, I COUNTED AS YOU MIGHT PULL THE MIC UP JUST A LITTLE BIT.
I COUNT IT AS AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TO BE HERE STANDING BEFORE YOU, UH, AND WITH THESE, UH, GREAT MEMBERS OF THIS GREAT CITY, UM, A LOT OF TIMES I THINK ABOUT WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP, BECAUSE I'M GOING TO BE FRANK.
I DON'T ENVY ANY OF YOUR JOBS.
UM, YOU HAVE A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY ON YOUR SHOULDERS, UM, BUT I WILL SAY THIS, YOUR SHOULDERS WERE MADE TO CARRY IT.
AND SO I THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT EASY, HOW YOU TAKE A LOT OF THE CRITICISMS, YOU GET BEAT UP A LOT.
UM, BUT VERY LITTLE DO WE CELEBRATE AND THANK YOU FOR THE HARD WORK THAT YOU DO.
AND SO I WANT TO, UH, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO, AND IF I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE, THE LEAST I CAN DO IS PRAY FOR YOU AND LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS I SAY, WHAT CAN WE PRAY ABOUT WISDOM? UH, AND, AND I'M REMINDED OF, UH, PAUL IN HIS LETTER TO TIMOTHY, UH, AND THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, THEREFORE, I EXHORT, FIRST OF ALL, THAT SUPPLICATIONS PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS AND GIVING OF THANKS BE MADE FOR ALL MEN, THAT'S EVERYBODY.
UM, BUT SPECIFICALLY FOR KINGS AND ALL WHO ARE IN AUTHORITY, YOU ALL WHO ARE IN AUTHORITY, THAT WE MAY LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE IN ALL GODLINESS AND REVERENCE.
AND SO WE DEPEND ON YOU, UM, TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR THIS CITY SO THAT WE CAN LEAD SO THAT WE CAN LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE.
I WANT TO LIVE AND LEAD A QUIET BULL, A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE.
AND, AND SO THAT'S WHERE THAT WISDOM PIECE COMES IN.
AGAIN, I'M REMINDED, UH, THERE WAS A KING NAMED SOLOMON, UM, AND GOD ASKED HIM, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WALKED? AND HE DIDN'T ASK FOR LONG LIFE.
HE DIDN'T ASK FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF HIS ENEMIES.
HE ASKED FOR WISDOM TO BE ABLE TO DISCERN RIGHT AND WRONG IN GOVERNED PEOPLE.
AND GOD, I, I I'M GONNA USE MY VERSION.
AND SO NOT ONLY DID GOD GIVE HIM WHAT HE ASKED FOR.
HE GAVE HIM EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HE DIDN'T ASK FOR THE WEALTH AND THE HONOR.
AND SO MY REQUEST IS THAT GOD WOULD GIVE YOU THE WISDOM AND MAKING DECISIONS CONCERNING THIS CITY.
AGAIN, I THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO.
LET US PRAY AS OUR CITY COUNCIL INVOKES GOD AND THE EXECUTION OF THEIR DUTIES.
I ASK THAT YOU WOULD GIVE THEM SUPERNATURAL WISDOM, LEADERSHIP, AND STRATEGY AS THEY MAKE DECISIONS CONCERNING THIS CITY, I ASK THAT YOU WOULD ORDER THEIR STEPS, LET YOUR MERCY AND GRACE BE UPON THEM, PROTECT THEM AND GIVE THEM SUCCESS IN EVERYTHING THAT THEY DO ACCORDING TO YOUR WILL LET THEIR INFLUENCE AND IMPACT BE THAT OF SUCH THAT IT TAKES THIS CITY TO A LEVEL OF SUCCESS AND FRUITFULNESS THAT WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

[ Introduction Presentation - Mr. Jason Enix, Huber Heights City Schools Superintendent]
SO NEXT UP THIS ITEM SIX B ITEM SIX P INTRODUCTION PRESENTATION BY MR. JASON, PHOENIX, HUBER HEIGHTS, CITY SCHOOLS, SUPERINTENDENT.MAYOR GORE NUMBERS OF COUNCIL.
I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE WITH ALL OF YOU TONIGHT AND THE INVITATION TO, UH, TO MAKE INTRODUCTIONS AS THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT OF HEBREW HEIGHTS, CITY SCHOOLS, AS WELL AS TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT, WHAT IS AHEAD FOR US IN THE 2223 SCHOOL YEAR, I WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE DO HAVE A BOARD MEMBER, UH, HERE WITH US TONIGHT.
UH, SHANNON WALDEN IS HERE GLAD TO HAVE HER IN ATTENDANCE AND APPRECIATE HER TAKING THE TIME TO BE HERE TONIGHT.
I HAVE NO, I HAVE MET A NUMBER OF YOU ALREADY FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT I HAVE NOT, UH, WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO A CHANCE TO WORK WITH YOU, UM, AS HOPEFULLY ALL OF, YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT THOUGH, I AM VERY, VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE AS A VERY PROUD GRADUATE OF WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL.
AND I'M NOT ASHAMED TO SAY THAT WAS IN 1993.
UM, SO IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE A LITTLE BIT THAT THAT WAS 30 YEARS AGO ALMOST, UH, OR COMING UP ON 30 YEARS, BUT, UM, IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE HERE.
UH, I WILL VERY QUICKLY JUST RUN THROUGH THE INTRODUCTORY PARTS OF THIS.
UM, AGAIN, IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS RUN VERY, VERY DEEP FOR ME.
AND, AND MY BACKGROUND REALLY, UM, LEADS ME TO WHAT I HOPE IS A FINAL STOP HERE IN HEBREW HEIGHTS, CITY SCHOOLS.
UH, I STARTED MY CAREER, UH, AS A FIFTH GRADE TEACHER IN VANDALIA, JUST UP THE ROAD.
UH, EVENTUALLY WENT TO MY WHERE MY TRUE
[00:10:01]
PASSION WAS GOING TO LIE, WHICH WAS AN EIGHTH GRADE TEACHER.I KNOW THAT MAY BE HARD FOR SOME PEOPLE TO BELIEVE, BUT EIGHTH GRADE WAS THE TOP OF THE LINE FOR ME IN TERMS OF EDUCATION.
I WAS EIGHTH GRADE SCIENCE AND MATH TEACHER BEFORE I LEFT THE CLASSROOM TO BE AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT WEST CARROLLTON, AND EVENTUALLY WENT ON TO BE THE PRINCIPAL OF LEBANON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF BEAVER CREEK, CITY SCHOOLS.
AND MOST RECENTLY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF READING COMMUNITY CITY SCHOOLS IN CINCINNATI.
UH, I WILL TELL YOU, JUST AS A QUICK SIDE NOTE, I WAS HIRED IN REDDING AND MARCH OF 2020.
UM, THAT BECAME THE START OF A VERY INTERESTING, BUT VERY REWARDING PERIOD OF TIME, UH, AS A FIRST SUPERINTENDENT, UH, NAVIGATING EVERYTHING THAT WENT ALONG WITH THE PANDEMIC, BUT A VERY TRULY, UH, OUTSTANDING PLACE TO BE.
AND THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS I WOULD STILL BE THERE IF IT WASN'T FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK TO MY HOMETOWN AND SERVE THIS COMMUNITY, THE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES, UM, THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHERE I GREW UP.
SO IT IS AGAIN, A PLEASURE TO BE HERE.
JUST WANT TO SHARE A FEW, A FEW ITEMS THAT ARE ON OUR, OUR AGENDA AS WE GET READY TO START THE SCHOOL YEAR.
UM, THAT IS COMING UP VERY, VERY QUICKLY AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, OUR STAFF STARTS BACK TO, UH, TO WORK ON AUGUST 16TH.
STUDENTS WILL JOIN US ON AUGUST 22ND.
UM, IT'S, IT'S COMING VERY SOON.
UH, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ATTENDED THE SPOTLIGHT AND COOPER HEIGHTS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EVENT, I APOLOGIZE THIS IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME PRESENTATION, BUT IT'S ALSO VERY RELEVANT AS THIS IS VERY MUCH WHAT IS ON OUR PLATES AS WE START THE SCHOOL YEAR.
AND I'M STARTING OFF WITH SOMETHING THAT IS VERY CLEARLY AN IMPORTANT, UH, ASPECT OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AND THEN AS OUR, AS OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, TRANSCEND 2026 WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION IN THE SUMMER OF 2021.
UH, YOU'LL SEE A NUMBER OF NAMES THAT WERE A PART OF THAT STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS.
THERE ARE NAMES IN THIS ROOM THAT WERE PART OF THIS PROCESS.
AND I, I TOLD THE BOARD OF EDUCATION WHEN I, WHEN I WAS INTERVIEWING THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS EXCITING FOR ME TO, UH, TO SEE THAT THERE WAS VISION, UH, IN PLACE FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND FOR THE COMMUNITY AND HOW THOSE TWO WOULD BE ABLE TO INTERACT.
SO, UH, TO BE ABLE TO, TO JUMP RIGHT INTO AN ALREADY ESTABLISHED STRATEGIC PLAN, UH, DOES, DOES GIVE SOMEONE LIKE MYSELF A GREAT STARTING POINT, AS OPPOSED TO A, UH, BASICALLY A CLEAN SLATE THAT, THAT THERE'S NOT A SPECIFIC, A SPECIFIC DIRECTION AT THIS POINT, IT REALLY STARTS WITH SOMETHING THAT'S CALLED A PORTRAIT OF A WARRIOR, UH, COLLABORATION, COMMUNICATION, EMPATHY, PERSEVERANCE, PROBLEM SOLVING, AND CRITICAL THINKING WERE SIX KEY AREAS THAT WE WOULD HOPE THAT OUR STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO GRADUATE FROM WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL AFTER SPENDING THEIR TIME IN THE HUBER HEIGHTS, CITY SCHOOLS, REALLY FEELING VERY GOOD ABOUT, I WON'T READ ALL OF THIS TO YOU.
UM, YOU WILL HAVE ACCESS OF COURSE, TO THE PRESENTATION, MORE THAN HAPPY TO, UH, TO HAVE, UH, HAVE YOU HAVE A COPY OF THIS.
AND ALL OF THIS ALSO IS VERY, UH, VERY READILY ACCESSIBLE ON OUR WEBSITE FOR ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO, UH, TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO TAKE A LOOK AT OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.
BUT AGAIN, IT OUTLINES WHAT THOSE SIX COMPETENCIES ARE AND WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT FOR OUR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO DO AS PART OF THEIR TIME IN HUMAN RIGHTS CITY SCHOOLS, WHEN THEY GRADUATE, THERE ARE FOUR PRIORITY AREAS IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN.
ONCE YOU ARE PAST THE PORTRAIT OF A WARRIOR COMPETENCIES, THOSE ARE LEARNING EXCELLENCE CULTURE OR FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP AND FACILITIES, AND IT HAS A VERY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
SO WHAT I'M NOT GOING TO DO TODAY IS TO SHOW YOU EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF IT.
UM, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED ON THURSDAY EVENING AT OUR UPCOMING BOARD MEETING, I WILL BE PROVIDING THE FIRST OF A QUARTERLY UPDATE ON THE STATUS AND THE PROGRESS OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN DURING OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED BOARD MEETING.
SO, UH, AGAIN, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, BECAUSE AGAIN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN A DIRECTION AND A, UH, AND PROVIDING GUIDEPOSTS FOR US, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO, TO REALLY BRING THIS TO LIFE, TO THE LEVEL THAT WE CAN DO.
SO UNDER, UH, THE CONSTRAINTS THAT, THAT OBVIOUSLY WE, WE MAY HAVE TO LIVE UNDER, EVERYTHING DOES HAVE A COST.
AND THAT IS OBVIOUSLY AN IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER.
I MEAN, WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT AGAIN, IS, IS THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.
UM, WE HAVE BEEN SPENDING SOME TIME ALREADY THE SUMMER, UH, REVISITING THE STRATEGIC PLAN AS PART OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM DOING KIND OF A STATUS REVIEW.
AND AGAIN, THAT STATUS REVIEW IS WHAT'S GOING TO BE SHARED WITH THE BOARD.
I'VE ALREADY COMMUNICATED THAT WITH OUR BOARD OF EDUCATION, THAT WE WILL DO A QUARTERLY COMMITTEE MEETINGS THAT WILL BE CENTERED AROUND ALL FOUR OF THESE AREAS, AND THAT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND QUARTERLY UPDATES FOR THE BOARD.
SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO STAY TUNED.
UH, THERE WILL, WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT PROGRESS AS EARLY AS THIS THURSDAY, THE KEY IDEAS BEHIND THIS ARE THE OUTCOMES AS, UH, AS AGAIN, TO DETERMINE OUR CURRENT STATUS, WHAT'S BEEN IN THE PLANNING PHASES WHAT'S CURRENTLY IN PROCESS OR WHAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
AND THAT WILL BE SOMETHING TO, TO REALLY MONITOR AS WE, AS WE LOOK TO THE TIMELINES ASSOCIATED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN WITH EVERYTHING TARGETING 20, 26, THE, THE THING ABOUT A STRATEGIC PLAN, IF I'M SURE ALL OF YOU ARE VERY AWARE OF IT, IT IS TYPICALLY NOT A STATIC DOCUMENT, UH, WHAT HAPPENS OR WHAT WAS APPROVED 20, 21 THINGS SOMETIMES CHANGE.
AND THAT MEANS THAT SOMETIMES THE PLAN HAS TO CHANGE ALONG WITH IT.
SO WE'LL ALREADY START TO SEE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MAY NEED TO CHANGE WITHIN THE STRATEGIC PLAN,
[00:15:01]
BUT AGAIN, THAT'S PART OF HOW KEEPING A PLAN ALIVE AND BREATHING IS SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO FOCUS ON.OF COURSE, AS I SAID, EVERYTHING DOES HAVE A COST.
SO WE WILL BE SPENDING SOME TIME WITH THE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF SOME OF THE PARTS OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT ARE EITHER IN PROCESS OR IN THE PLANNING PHASE AT THIS TIME AND PRIORITIZING ACTION STEPS, UH, ALONG THOSE TIMELINES AND DETERMINING WHERE DO WE START WITH, UM, OR CONTINUE WITH WORK ALREADY BEING DONE.
ONE OF THE OTHER KEY COMPONENTS OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN, AND WE'LL HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF THESE AS WELL AS THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT, THAT WAY IN HIGH SCHOOL, THIS IS TIED DIRECTLY TO LEARNING EXCELLENCE SCHOOL NUMBER THREE, AND I'VE HIGHLIGHTED IN RED, UH, THE CREATION OF FOUR SKILLED TRADE PATHWAYS THAT ARE IN DEMAND INDUSTRIES AT WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL.
UM, WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT BECAUSE, UH, IT ALSO IS TIED INTO A FACILITY'S GOAL, UH, BY AUGUST OF 23 NEWLY CONSTRUCTED MAKER AND LAB SPACES WILL SUPPORT THE INTEGRATION OF SKILLED TRADES STEM AND CAREER PATHWAYS AS PART OF OUR CORE CURRICULUM.
SO AGAIN, THE WORK THAT'S HAPPENING, UH, OR HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOME TIME REGARDING CONSTRUCTION AT WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL IS AGAIN TIED DIRECTLY TO OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.
THIS IS PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT TOO SMALL TO GET INTO DETAILS FOR ALL OF YOU, BUT, UH, THIS IS JUST A, A, THE ARCHITECTURAL RENDERING OF WHAT THE WORK LOOKS LIKE AT WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL FOR PERSPECTIVE.
UM, THIS IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WHAT IS THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER AND THE MONTH'S GYM THAT IS WHERE THIS WOULD BE LOCATED, UH, WOULD BE CONNECTED VIA, UH, A CANOPY STYLE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE NEW BUILDING AND THIS FACILITY, THE NEW FACILITY THAT WOULD BE ADDED ON, THERE ARE THREE SKILLED TRADES THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN COLLABORATION WITH THE MIAMI VALLEY CTC THAT IS CONSTRUCTION TRADES AS A GENERAL HVAC, AS WELL AS WELDING.
AND AGAIN, THESE ARE PART OF IN DEMAND CAREER PATHWAYS FOR, FOR KIDS.
AND THESE ARE NOT SURVEY COURSES, AS WE MIGHT HAVE MAYBE EXPERIENCED AT OUR HIGH SCHOOL DAYS FOR, FOR HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT.
THESE ARE, UH, CREDENTIALING PROGRAMS THAT IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CTC DOES GIVE STUDENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GRADUATE AND HAVE CREDENTIALING THAT WILL LEAD DIRECTLY INTO THE WORKFORCE.
SO A VERY DIFFERENT MODEL AND DIRECTION, BUT ONE THAT WE KNOW IS A VERY NECESSARY ONE, UH, NOT JUST FOR, FOR STUDENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES, BUT FOR, UH, SOCIETY IN GENERAL.
UH, THOSE ARE VERY MUCH IN DEMAND AREAS.
I'VE ALREADY TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS.
I WOULD TELL YOU THAT IF YOU THINK BACK TO WHAT I MENTIONED BEFORE IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, I TALKED ABOUT FOUR, UH, FOUR AREAS.
UH, AND YET THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT DOWN TO THREE, THE FOURTH ONE WAS AUTOMOTIVE.
AND AGAIN, PART OF THE COLLABORATION WITH THE CTC IS HELPING TO DETERMINE WHAT'S FEASIBLE.
WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE SUPPORTED.
AND THAT WAS NOT ONE THAT WAS ABLE TO BE SUPPORTED.
AND AGAIN, AS A RESULT, IT'S BEEN PAIRED DOWN TO THREE, WE DO ANTICIPATE THAT AS WE STATED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, THAT THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT COULD START IN AUGUST OF 23.
AND I SAY ANTICIPATE BECAUSE IT'S NOT FINALIZED JUST YET.
IT'S STILL IN THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE.
UH, THERE'S BEEN SIGNIFICANT WORK DONE, UH, FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
NOW IN PARTICULARLY HERE, THE SUMMER FINALIZING THE GMP, WHICH IS, UM, KIND OF THE FINAL DOCUMENT BEING SUBMITTED BY OUR, UH, CONTRACTOR AND WOULD BE PREPARED FOR BOARD, UH, UH, BOARD APPROVAL PROCESS, WHICH AGAIN, WE WOULD ANTICIPATE BEING ON THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK IN ORDER TO HIT THAT TIMELINE.
SO, UM, AGAIN, IT'S, IT'S PROBABLY IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE HERE FOR, FOR EVERYONE THAT THIS IS NOT GENERAL FUND DOLLARS, OR IT'S NOT OUR DISTRICT FUND DOLLARS THAT ARE BEING USED FOR, TO FUND THIS PROJECT.
THIS IS AN S OR FUNDED PROJECT, WHICH IS THE FEDERAL PANDEMIC RELIEF FUNDS THAT WE ARE ALLOCATING TO REALLY SUPPORT THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS, UH, GOING FORWARD WITHIN THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT, BEEN A TRANSITION AT THIS POINT TO BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS.
AGAIN, A KEY COMPONENT OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN.
I SHARE THIS WITH YOU AS A, ANOTHER SECTION OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN, BECAUSE AGAIN, IT TALKS VERY CLEARLY ABOUT THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE COMMUNITY.
UH, AGAIN, HE WRITES THE SCHOOL'S COMMUNITY WILL ACTIVELY ENGAGE IN STUDENT LEARNING IN EVERY GRADE LEVEL AND SCHOOL.
SO THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTNERSHIPS AND BEING ABLE TO CONNECT, UH, SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY IN A WAY THAT IS AGAIN, WITHOUT READING ALL OF THOSE FOR YOU ARE JUST OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE WILL BE ACTIVELY PURSUING AS PART OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND HOW WE CAN SUPPORT STUDENTS AS WELL AS THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE SCHOOL AND THE, AND THE COMMUNITY JUST A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO.
UH, WE DID SEND OUT, UM, A LETTER TO ALL OF THE BUSINESSES THAT WE WOULD POTENTIALLY BE ABLE TO LOOK AT PARTNERING WITH, OR WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PARTNERING WITH US AS A WAY TO BUILD A DATABASE OF THOSE BUSINESSES THAT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MULTIPLE DIFFERENT OR SOME DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES TO COLLABORATE WITH US.
AND AGAIN, THERE'S A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES IN TERMS OF SPONSORSHIP AND SUPPORT, AS WELL AS, UH, COMMUNITY SERVICE, PARTNERSHIPS, DONATIONS, AND MANY OTHERS.
AND SO WE ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO BUILD THAT DATABASE OF
[00:20:01]
OPPORTUNITIES TO BE A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, NOT JUST ON THE RECEIVING END OF, OF ASKING FOR DONATIONS.AND THAT'S, UH, THAT'S BEEN A REAL IMPORTANT, UM, IMPORTANT THING FOR US TO BE MINDFUL OF.
AND LOOKING AHEAD TO, AS WE LOOK TO DEVELOP THESE PARTNERSHIPS, WE'LL TALK JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPARENCY.
UM, WE HAVE OUR BOARD MEETINGS, OF COURSE, ARE IN PERSON.
THEY ARE LIVE STREAMED, AND WE ARE TRANSITIONING NOW TO A BOARD MEETING RECAP VERSION, UH, MUCH LIKE THE, THE MINUTES THAT ARE PART OF, UM, YOU KNOW, CITY COUNCIL OR A BOARD OF EDUCATION.
WE DO HAVE THOSE, BUT WE ARE ALSO PROVIDING ANOTHER DOCUMENT THAT IS MORE OF TELLING THE STORY RATHER THAN JUST THE MINUTES.
AND IT'S BEING SHARED THROUGH OUR PUBLIC RELATIONS DEPARTMENT, UH, THAT REALLY SUMMARIZES A, OF THE KEY THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING WITHIN THE BOARD MEETINGS.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE FELT VERY, VERY STRONGLY THAT WE NEEDED TO IMPROVE IN OUR COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES.
AND AGAIN, TRANSPARENCY FOR ALL OF THOSE HERE IN THE CITY AND AROUND OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED AGAIN, WE'LL BE READILY ACCESSIBLE ON OUR WEBSITE, AS WELL AS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND AS EMAILED DIRECTLY TO ALL OF OUR PARENTS IN THE DISTRICT, WE ARE OF COURSE, IN THE BUSINESS OF EDUCATION.
SO TEACHING AND LEARNING IS GOING TO OBVIOUSLY BE A, AT ARE A REAL FOCAL POINT FOR US.
UM, WE ARE IN THE MIDST RIGHT NOW OF, UH, IMPLEMENTATION OF A BRAND NEW EVALUATION SYSTEM FOR OUR TEACHERS.
UH, WE ARE ON THE TAIL END OF ADOPTION OF THAT AND OUR DISTRICTS AND THAT THAT'S STATUTORILY REQUIRED, UH, BASED UPON THE END OF THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR, OUR TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
SO WE ARE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE OF THAT, UH, REALLY AS WE SPEAK, AND THAT WILL BE UNDERWAY THIS YEAR.
REALLY, IT'S A MODIFIED VERSION OF BEING ABLE TO REALLY KIND OF CAPTURE HOW EVALUATION HAPPENS IN HOW TEACHING AND LEARNING IS HAPPENING IN A SCHOOL DISTRICT.
ALSO, AGAIN, RELATED TO OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, DEEPER LEARNING TRAINING HAS BEEN STARTED FOR OUR ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM, AS WELL AS FOR A SELECT GROUP OF DEEPER LEARNING.
UH, WE'LL CALL WE'LL CALL THEM OUR DEEPER LEARNING TEAM.
THEY'RE KIND OF LIKE THE PEBBLES IN THE POND, SO TO SPEAK WHERE THEY'RE GETTING THE TRAINING FIRST, GOING OUT AND PRACTICING AND PUTTING THIS INTO PLACE AND, AND THE RIPPLE EFFECT, WE ANTICIPATE TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.
DEEPER LEARNING MIGHT ALSO BE THOUGHT OF AS PROJECT BASED LEARNING, AUTHENTIC, UH, WAYS IN WHICH STUDENTS CAN, UH, DEVELOP QUESTIONS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL TO THEM, CONCENTRATE ON THE LEARNING AND THE STANDARDS THAT WILL HELP THEM TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS AND PROVIDE REAL WORLD SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS THAT, THAT THEY ARE, ARE WORKING ON WITHIN THEIR, WITHIN THEIR CLASSROOM, WITHIN THEIR STUDIES.
I WILL POINT YOUR ATTENTION TO THE VERY LAST BULLET HERE, SCHOOL SAFETY.
UM, OBVIOUSLY NONE OF WHAT I HAVE TALKED ABOUT AT THIS POINT MATTERS, ONE BIT OF SCHOOL SAFETY IS IN OUR TOP PRIORITY.
AND I THINK AT THIS POINT IT'S VERY APPROPRIATE TO TAKE A QUICK STEP BACK AND TO JUST THANK VERY MUCH CITY COUNCIL, AS WELL AS OUR FIRST RESPONDERS FOR THE RELATIONSHIP AND THE PARTNERSHIP THAT OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT ENJOYS WITH OUR FIRST RESPONDERS.
I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TODAY OF ATTENDING AND BEING A PART OF THE ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING THAT'S HAPPENING WITH OUR POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS AT WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL.
UH, HOPEFULLY YOU'RE ALL AWARE OF THAT.
IT HAS BEEN, UH, BROADCAST EVERYWHERE, UH, INCREDIBLY INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED WITH WHAT I WAS ABLE TO WATCH AND BE A PART OF TODAY, UH, WATCHING OUR OFFICER'S TRAINING, WE HAD A LARGE NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS TO, UH, TRY TO RECREATE OUR OR CAPTURE WHAT THAT ENVIRONMENT WOULD LOOK LIKE SO THAT OUR OFFICERS AND, AND, AND, UH, FIRE AND PARAMEDIC COULD REALLY TRAIN FOR SOMETHING THAT WE HOPE IS THE ABSOLUTE UNTHINKABLE THING TO HAPPEN.
WHAT I'VE BEEN VERY IMPRESSED WITH IS THE WILLINGNESS TO COOPERATE, COLLABORATE, AND PUT TOGETHER A TRAINING PROGRAM IN COOPERATION BETWEEN SCHOOL DISTRICT, AS WELL AS OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, WHICH OF COURSE IS IN PART A THANKS TO ALL OF YOU.
SO THE RELATIONSHIP IS WONDERFUL.
UM, AGAIN, VERY, VERY IMPRESSED AND TO BE THERE AND BE A PART OF THAT TODAY.
UH, IT WAS JUST VERY COMFORTING FROM MY SEAT TO KNOW THAT WHAT IF AND WHEN THERE IS A, AN ISSUE THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND HOPEFULLY NOTHING LIKE THAT, BUT WHATEVER THE ISSUE IS, THE POLICE AND FIRE ARE RIGHT THERE AT OUR SIDE.
AND THAT IS A GREAT FEELING TO HAVE, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THAT PARTNERSHIP INTO THE FUTURE AND, AND GROWING IT, UM, WITH EVERY DAY THAT PASSES BY, I'M JUST POINTING OUT A FEW DISTRICT HIGHLIGHTS, AS WE ARE GETTING CLOSE TO THE END OF THIS PRESENTATION.
WE WERE GRANTED AN ADDITIONAL PRESCHOOL CLASS FUNDED THROUGH THE PRESCHOOL PROMISE, WHICH IS A COUNTY INITIATIVE.
UH, GREAT, GRATEFUL FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY.
WE'RE LOOKING TO FINALIZE THE POSITION IN TERMS OF STAFFING, AND IT WILL GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE UP TO 40 ADDITIONAL STUDENTS AND FAMILIES IN PRESCHOOL AT STUDEBAKER, AGAIN, THROUGH A GRANT FUNDED PROGRAM, UH, WE ARE WELCOMING 22 NEW CERTIFIED STAFF.
UM, WE WELCOMED THEM, I THINK OFFICIALLY TO THE DISTRICT ON FRIDAY FOR ORIENTATION, UH, WAS ABLE TO GIVE THEM, UH, A BUS TOUR OF THE CITY, WHICH WAS A LOT OF FUN TO
[00:25:01]
BE A PART OF.UH, WE HAVE INCREASED OUR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ACROSS THE DISTRICT.
HAVING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED IN EVERY SINGLE BUILDING IN THE DISTRICT.
WE'VE HAD A SERIES OF SUMMER LEARNING PROGRAMS FOR OUR STUDENTS AND THE WARRIOR, THE DISTRICT NEWSLETTER THAT YOU WILL FIND AGAIN ON OUR WEBSITE HAS RECENTLY BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED, UM, THROUGH THE STATE ORGANIZATION FOR PUBLIC RELATIONS AS AN OUTSTANDING PUBLICATION.
UH, CASSIE DIETRICH IS OUR PUBLIC RELATIONS SUPERVISOR, UH, BROUGHT HOME THAT AWARD FROM HER, UH, STATE CONFERENCE AND VERY, VERY, WELL-DESERVED, THERE'S LOTS OF GREAT INFORMATION AND REALLY TELLING THE STORY OF OUR DISTRICT.
AND WE APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT SHE DOES.
WELL, LAST THING I WILL, UH, OR ALMOST THE LAST THING I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH IS, UH, THE, THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 2022.
UH, THIS IS THE TOP 10 SENIORS.
AND I CAN TELL YOU HAVING JUST STARTED MY ASSOCIATION WITH THE DISTRICT, UH, IN MAY HAVING A CHANCE TO MEET THESE 10 OUTSTANDING YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE GRADUATES OF WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL AND LOOKING AT THEIR, THEIR PROFILES, THEIR, UM, THEIR ASPIRATIONS AND GETTING A CHANCE TO MEET EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES THAT THE TOP 10 RECOGNITION, UH, AT THE BOARD MEETING IN MAY, UH, IT'S AN OUTSTANDING GROUP OF, OF STUDENTS.
AND THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT WE REALLY NEED TO CELEBRATE WITH THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, THAT DIVERSITY THEY REPRESENT.
UM, IT'S TRULY, UM, IT WAS A PLEASURE TO MEET THEM AND WE HAVE MANY, MANY GREAT STUDENTS.
I KNOW THAT ARE GOING TO BE FOLLOWING IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS AS WELL AS THOSE THAT WERE NOT THE TOP 10 THAT ARE GOING TO GO ON AND DO WONDERFUL THINGS.
IT'S, UH, IT'S GREAT TO SEE OUR GRADUATES, UH, BEING READY FOR SUCCESS.
IT'S ATTRIBUTED TO A LOT OF FACTORS, INCLUDING THE STAFF THAT WORKS WITH THEM EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I DID REFERENCE ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING.
THAT'S HAPPENING AT WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL RIGHT NOW.
UM, UH, IT'S COME TO A CLOSE ON THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK, BOTH FIRST AND SECOND SHIFT, UH, OFFICERS PARAMEDICS.
UM, THEY'RE ALL ABLE TO BE A PART OF THAT, UH, DURING, DURING THEIR WORK TIMES, UH, OPENING DAY CONVOCATION IS GOING TO BE IN THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER AT WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL ON AUGUST 16TH.
UH, ELEMENTARY OPEN HOUSES ARE THAT NIGHT AT FIVE O'CLOCK, UH, WE'LL HAVE WAYNE OPEN HOUSE ON FIVE AT FIVE 30 ON THE 17TH.
WHY ISN'T BORN WILL BE ON THE 18TH AND, UH, WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL.
IT'S THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING A PART OF THE CROSSTOWN SHOOTOUT AND A TELEVISED GAME TO OPEN UP THE SEASON ON THURSDAY, UH, AUGUST THE 18TH AT FAIRFIELD.
I'M CERTAIN THAT WILL BE QUITE A GAME TO TAKE IN, AND I WILL BE THERE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
UH, FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR OUR STUDENTS, ALL EXCEPT FOR KINDERGARTEN, UH, IS AUGUST 22ND AND KINDERGARTEN WILL JOIN US ON AUGUST 25TH.
SO THAT IS IN A NUTSHELL WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON IN THE DISTRICT TO START OUR SCHOOL YEAR, UH, LOOK FORWARD TO, UH, TO GETTING THE YEAR UP AND RUNNING.
AND, UH, AGAIN, IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE, UH, BACK IN HUBER HEIGHTS, CITY SCHOOLS.
AND THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE THIS EVENING, MR. NIX.
APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE AND OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF INTRODUCE YOURSELF COLLECTIVELY TO COUNSEL AND GREAT PRESENTATION.
AND, UH, DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS NANCY? I DO.
UH, FIRST OF ALL, WELCOME AGAIN, GLAD TO HAVE A GRAY WAYNE GRADUATE COME BACK AND JOIN US, UM, ON YOUR, UH, TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
ONE ON THE SUBJECT OF SAFETY, THERE WAS AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER, UM, YESTERDAY I BELIEVE IT WAS ON STATE FUNDING THAT WHEREAS, UH, UP THERE, UM, OUT THERE TO BEEF UP SECURITY WITHIN THE BUILDINGS.
NOW I KNOW THOSE, THOSE APPLICATIONS WENT IN BEFORE YOU GOT HERE, BUT THEY ARE, THEY'RE AWARDING UP TO $50,000 FOR EACH SCHOOL BUILDING.
UM, WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR, UH, GOING FORWARD TO TRY TO, UH, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE FUNDS TO ENHANCE OUR SECURITY? YEAH.
SO FIRST OF ALL, I, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU TAKE A WALK AROUND OUR BUILDINGS, THE SAFETY MEASURES THAT ARE ALREADY IN PLACE, INCLUDING SINGLE POINTS OF ENTRY, KEY FOBBING IN, UH, VESTIBULES, SOME OF THE REAL KEY AREAS OF KIND OF DETERRENT FACTORS ARE, ARE ALREADY OF COURSE, VERY WELL IN PLACE.
UH, YOU KNOW, IT WAS TALKING WITH OUR POLICE OFFICERS TODAY.
THEY WERE GETTING SOME TRAINING ON OPENING THE DOORS, UH, FROM THERE, FROM, FROM THEIR SIDE OF THINGS IN THE EVENT, THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO OPEN DOORS.
IT DOES REQUIRE IF OUR DOORS ARE CLOSED IN CLASSROOMS, IT DOES REQUIRE SPECIAL TOOLS TO BE ABLE TO GET IN THEM.
SO WE HAVE SOME VERY KIND OF BUILT IN SAFETY FEATURES THAT ARE ALREADY VERY MUCH IN PLACE IN TERMS OF OTHER OPPORTUNITIES, UM, OUR BUSINESS MANAGER, BUSINESS OPERATIONS DIRECTOR, THEY ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING TO SEE WHAT THOSE FUNDS COULD BE AVAILABLE TO BE USED FOR AND LOOKING AT ANY ADDITIONAL APPLICATION BASED ON THAT AT THIS POINT, THAT'S STILL UNDER REVIEW.
AND I DON'T KNOW SPECIFICALLY WHAT, WHAT THOSE APPLICATION POTENTIAL ARE, POSSIBILITIES COULD UP BEING, BUT THERE, AGAIN, WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDS AVAILABLE.
CERTAINLY I KNOW THAT WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING AT HOW THOSE POSSIBLY COULD BE, COULD BE USED, WHAT WOULD BE IN THE BEST WAY TO SPREAD THAT ACROSS THE DISTRICT.
BUT AT THIS POINT WE DON'T HAVE DON'T HAVE ANY FINALIZED, UH, APPLICATION READY TO GO FOR THAT.
DO WE KNOW IF WE COULD USE HIM FOR THAT? I DON'T KNOW.
I CAN'T, I WOULDN'T, I WOULD HESITATE
[00:30:01]
TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION IN TERMS OF THE EXACT DOLLAR FIGURES AND HOW THEY CAN BE ALLOCATED.I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT.
AND MY OTHER QUESTION FOR YOU WAS I HAVE BEEN ASKED SEVERAL TIMES AND I'M NOT THE PERSON TO ANSWER IT IS.
UM, THERE'S BEEN SOME CONCERN ABOUT THE, THE NEW CAREER PATH, UH, IN THE NEXT, THE NEW BUILDING THAT'S BEING PUT IN FOR THE THREE SKILLS AND HOW THAT MIGHT OVERLAP WITH CTC.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW THAT, HOW THEY COMPLIMENT VERSUS OVER? YEAH.
IT IS A COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE DISTRICT AND THE CTC.
SO WE WOULD HAVE THE SPACE THAT WE WOULD BE PROVIDING.
UH, WE WOULD, THE CTC WOULD REALLY BE THEIR THAT'S THEIR THAT'S THEIR DOMAIN.
IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT THE K-12 SIDE NECESSARILY.
SO THAT'S WHY THE PARTNERSHIP EXISTS.
UH, THEY WOULD HAVE RESOURCES, THEY WOULD DO HAVE A PERSONNEL.
WE WOULD BE ABLE TO AGAIN, HAVE THAT COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP.
IT DOES OVERLAP IN THE SENSE THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY ALSO PROVIDE THE CHAPTER MEMBER THAT THE CTC SERVES THE WHOLE COUNTY.
SO THERE'S LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES FOR KIDS TO BE INVOLVED.
AND YOU ALSO REMEMBER THAT THOSE STUDENTS THAT ARE INVOLVED AT THE CTC ARE OFF OF THE CAMPUS OF THEIR HOME SCHOOL.
SO FINDING THAT THIS IS A, AN IN DEMAND HATHAWAY, UH, THAT ADDING ON INCREASES THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS, NOT JUST FOR ONE YEAR, BUT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, WE'D BE ABLE TO SERVE ADDITIONAL STUDENTS MORE SU MORE STUDENTS THAN IF THEY WERE TO STRICTLY GO TO, UH, THE CTC, UM, VERY, YOU KNOW, SOMEWHAT OF A COMPETITIVE, A COMPETITIVE PROGRAM TO GET INTO ALL OF THEM WOULD BE AGAIN, IT'S BECAUSE OF LIMITED RESOURCES, LIMITED SPACE AT THE CTC.
AND THE QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE ON COUNCIL, RICHARD.
UM, MR. PHOENIX, WELCOME TO THE DISTRICT.
UM, I, UH, I'M HAPPY TO SEE YOUR VISION, YOUR ENTHUSIASM, UH, IN THE, UH, IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS, AND EVEN IN YOUR PRESENTATIONS THUS FAR, MY DAUGHTER IS A RECENT GRADUATE OF WAYNE.
MY SON WILL BE ENTERING AS A FRESHMAN, UM, AND, UH, UM, GODSPEED, UM, BUT TO KNOW GOOD KIDS, I THINK THERE'S A GREAT GROUP.
I'M EXCITED TO, ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR FOR FOOTBALL.
I THINK WE'RE LOOKING REALLY GOOD.
UM, NEEDLESS TO SAY, UM, COUNCILMAN BERGE DID BRING UP A LITTLE BIT ON THE TOPIC OF SCHOOL SAFETY, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE, UM, ADDRESSED OVER THE YEARS, UM, WITH THE FORMER SUPERINTENDENT AND THE SCHOOL BOARD.
UM, IT WAS BACK IN FEBRUARY AS A MATTER OF FACT, WHEN I FIRST, UH, INTRODUCED THIS IDEA TO THE BOARD AND THE PREVIOUS INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT AT THAT TIME ON A JOINT MEETING, UH, WITH OUR COUNCIL AND SCHOOL BOARD, IT'S BEEN ROUGHLY, I'M GOING TO SAY MAYBE CLOSE TO FOUR TO FIVE YEARS SINCE THE LAST TIME WE COLLABORATIVELY HAVE GOTTEN TOGETHER TO, UM, TALK OUT IDEAS AND IMPROVEMENTS AND WAYS FORWARD IN OUR GROWING COMMUNITY.
UM, AND ONE OF THOSE TOPICS IS SCHOOL SAFETY.
UM, I STARTED THAT CONVERSATION BACK IN FEBRUARY.
UM, I KNOW IT'S SUPPORTED BY THE BOARD PRESIDENT, UH, JUST RECENTLY IN JUNE SUPPORTED BY OUR OWN MAYOR.
UM, SO I WOULD ASK, UH, AS ONE COUNCIL MEMBER, UM, THAT WE CAN HOPEFULLY GET THAT COLLABORATIVE MEETING TOGETHER SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.
UH, I KNOW THERE'S A TOPIC ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA REGARDING, UM, UH, SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
UM, AS ONE COUNCIL MEMBER I'VE ASKED THAT THAT BE, UM, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY, UH, POSTPONED UNTIL WE HAVE THAT, THAT MEETING, UM, BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE DURING OUR, UM, POLICE CHIEF'S PRESENTATION, UH, IN ADDITION TO SOME OF THE, UH, COMMENTS THAT COUNCILMAN BERGE HAD BROUGHT UP, WHICH I KNOW IS AN APPLICATION PENDING OF CERTAIN, UH, FUNDING AVAILABILITY, UH, NOT ONLY THROUGH YOUR TREASURES, BUT ALSO THROUGH OUR FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT AS WELL, UH, TO REALLY SEE HOW WE CAN.
AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A, THERE'S A WHOLE SLEW OF OTHER AGENDA ITEMS, WHICH I BELIEVE I SENT OVER TO, UH, BOARD PRESIDENT, UH, AND IN TERM, UH, SUPERINTENDENT AT THAT TIME.
UM, I'M PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT WE CAN GET A MEETING SCHEDULED PRETTY QUICKLY.
I KNOW WE JUST HAD A JOINT MEETING WITH, UH, WITH ONE OF OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, AND I THINK WE HAD THAT MEETING SCHEDULED IN ABOUT TWO TO THREE WEEKS.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THAT DONE.
UM, I DID ASK FOR IT DONE BEFORE THE START OF SCHOOL.
I GET UNDER JUST ONE COUNCIL MEMBER, BUT, UH, THAT IS IN OUR EFFORTS.
UM, SO THAT, YOU KNOW, I GET OUR GROWING COMMUNITY CAN HAVE THE, UH, TWO LEGISLATIVE BODIES OF THIS COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER AND WORK FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND OUR PARENTS.
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND JOINT INTRODUCTION.
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE.
ANYONE ELSE? HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS.
[7. Citizens Comments]
AND NEXT UP IS THAT NUMBER SEVEN, WHICH IS CITIZENS COMMENTS.[00:35:01]
WE HAVE MR. DAVID GOMPERS, IF YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.SINCE I'VE BEEN UP HERE TWO WEEKS, AT LEAST, UH, YOU GUYS HAVE NEVER GOTTEN BACK TO ME WHAT I WAS UP HERE FOR ORIGINALLY 13 MONTHS AGO.
SO I WANT TO SEE WHEN YOU REMEMBER WHAT I WAS UP HERE FOR, BUT NOW I ADDED THREE MORE PEOPLE TO MY LIST FOR THIS.
UH, UH, YOU WERE HATES GOVERNMENT, UH, HALL OF FAME OR GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS LEADER, HALL OF FAME.
UH, JOHN SOLDERS, HE, UH, MAY HAVE BEEN BEFORE EVERYBODY ELSE UP HERE REMEMBERS JOHN, UH, HAS BEEN GONE FROM US FOR MANY YEARS, BUT HIS BUSINESS HAS STILL GOT HIS NAME ON IT UP DOWN THE ROAD ON TAYLORSVILLE.
UH, THE INSURANCE BUSINESS, JOHN LOVED THIS CITY.
THIS GUY DOESN'T GO BACK AS FAR JOHN GEIGER, BUT HE WAS ONE OF OUR TOP NOTCH.
UH, UH, WELL HELPED ME ENGINEER OUR ENGINEER.
UH, THIS THIRD ONE, I'M NOT GOING TO NEED ANY HELP ON, UH, I GOES BACK TO 1986.
I MET THIS YOUNG MAN SLIGHT BUILT.
UH, HE, I KNOW IT WAS LOW AND BETTY LIVED OVER THERE.
THEN THEY'VE BEEN GONE A LONG TIME.
THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING IN THAT HOUSE NOW, BUT BEEN THERE 32 YEARS.
UH, I THINK HE'S BEEN ON THE COUNCIL AT LEAST 34 OF THOSE 36 YEARS.
AND HE'S ON YOUR COUNCIL RIGHT NOW, MR. MARK CAMPBELL.
AND I'M PUTTING HIM RIGHT BETWEEN CHARLIE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS IDEA? I MEAN, WE WOULD BE PART OF DAYTON TODAY.
I'M TELLING YOU WITHOUT THESE PEOPLE, I WAS THERE.
SO I THINK WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING.
SO WHAT DO WE THINK, IS THIS SOMETHING WE CAN TALK ABOUT FOR TIME TO COME? I THINK WE CAN CERTAINLY HAVE A DISCUSSION AND A WORK SESSION ON, ON SOME IDEAS, WHAT WE COULD DO TO CELEBRATE SOME OF THE, UH, THE PEOPLE, UH, HE WRITES HALL OF FAME.
WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE, PEOPLE COULD BE ADDED.
THEY, I DIDN'T KNOW EVERYBODY IN HUBER HEIGHTS.
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THEM, I KNOW A LOT OF THEM AND 12 OF THE 19 PEOPLE, THEIR FAMILIES ARE STILL HERE.
12 OF THE MONEY FEED PEOPLES UP PAST THERE'S ONLY SEVEN TO 19 PEOPLE I GOT ON HERE STILL ALIVE.
I THINK WE HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE AN ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, AND I THINK THERE'S, UM, WE HAVE A PERFORMING ARTS HALL OF FAME.
SO WE CELEBRATE LOTS OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN THE CITY IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CITY.
SO WE CERTAINLY COULD HAVE A, HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT.
UH THAT'S THAT, I'M GLAD THAT, UH, MR AND MRS. SIERRA DID NIGHT GOOD NIGHT FOR ME TO COME UP BECAUSE THIS NEXT ITEM, UH, PLAYS INTO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WHO IS, UH, TILBURY ROAD.
WHO IS THAT? YOU MRS. BAKER? NO, NO, SIR.
THIS DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST YOU.
THIS IS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, BUT THAT'S WHERE I STARTED OUT ON TILBURY ROAD, 51, 37.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY REMEMBERS THAT.
MY DAUGHTER WAS IN STARTING THE SECOND GRADE DOWN UNTIL IT COFFEE.
I CAME UP FROM CHILLICOTHE, OHIO, AND, UH, THE TEACHER AFTER THE FIRST MARKING PERIOD CALLED MY WIFE AND I AND TO THE SCHOOL.
AND SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD TALKED TO HER FRIEND IN THE THIRD GRADE THAT THEY THOUGHT THEY SHOULD MOVE MY DAUGHTER AHEAD.
BUT, UH, WANTING TO KNOW IF WE THOUGHT IT WAS OKAY.
AND THEY EXPLAINED WHAT SHE KNEW, EVERYTHING THAT THEY WERE COVERING.
THEY THOUGHT THAT SHE SHOULD BE MOVED ON THE ONLY THING THEY WOULD HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE WRITING.
AND I LAID HER ON, THEY DIDN'T EVEN DO RIGHT TO GET SCHOOL.
UH, SO WE AGREED TO IT, BUT THEY SAID, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT BECAUSE HE DON'T THINK ANYONE SHOULD BE MOVED FORWARD.
SO HE'S HERE AND HE WANTS TO TALK
[00:40:01]
TO YOU ABOUT IT.SO HE DID, HE TALKED TO US ABOUT IT.
UH, HE SAID I WAS AT A SEMINAR IN A NEW SCHOOL NORTH OF DAYTON, OHIO THAT IS ADVANCED IN MATH AND SCIENCE.
IF YOUR DAUGHTER SAID YOU'RE TRANSFERABLE WOULD GO TO A LOCATION OF THAT SWORD, SHE WOULD HAVE TROUBLE MAINTAINING HER GRADES AND MAY HAVE TO BE PUSHED BACK, MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, MY DAUGHTER WAS ENROLLED IN THAT SCHOOL.
AND THIS IS WHERE I GET CHOKED UP BECAUSE MY WIFE AND I SEEN THAT SCHOOL JUST RECENTLY.
AND IT'S A SHAME THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THAT, BUT IT WAS SHENANDOAH AND LEMON DOLAN.
AND THAT'S A SHAME THAT SCHOOL IS 40 YEARS OLD, THE WAY THAT IT LOOKS TODAY.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S PART OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM STILL OR NOT.
I KNOW WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO IN THERE, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN USED FOR SENIOR APARTMENTS OR SOMETHING OF THAT SORT.
THAT'S JUST, I W THE DAY THAT WE WENT OVER THERE, THERE WAS TWO KIDS UP ON TOP, PROBABLY READY TO BREAK SOME MORE WINTERS OF THE WINDOWS THAT ARE ALREADY BROKEN IN THERE.
AND, UH, UH, THEY LEFT RIGHT AWAY, BUT WE WERE APPALLED TO SEE THAT BUILDING, WHICH LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL IN 19 SEVEN, WHEN WE WALKED IN THERE IN JANUARY, 1973 TO WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY.
SO MR. GOLFERS CONFERENCE, THERE'S A, THERE'S A LOCAL CHURCH THAT HAS PURCHASED THAT BUILDING.
AND THEY'RE GOING TO TURN THAT AT THE ENGAGE, THE CHURCH.
I SEEN THEIR EQUIPMENT UP THERE.
IT'S NOT PART OF, IT'S NOT PART OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
IT'S NOT PART OF THE CITY PRIVATELY OWNED.
AND I THINK, UH, I THINK WE'RE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING GOOD THINGS COME OUT OF THAT.
I AM, I GREW UP ON TILBURY AND I WENT TO SCHOOL AT SHENANDOAH.
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT THE CHURCH DOES TO, TO TURN THAT AROUND.
BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO CUT ME OFF HERE PRETTY SOON.
IT JUST NEEDS TO BE MINDFUL OF THE TIME.
WELL, I WANT TO GET THE IMPORTANT THINGS HERE.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S, WE SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS.
UH, UH, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SCHOOLS RIGHT NOW, OUR OWN MARCUS FREEMAN.
2004, HE WAS TACKLING OPPONENTS ON, OVER AT HEIDI CAMP.
HE'S NOW THE HEAD COACH OF ONE OF THE PRESTIGIOUS, UH, SCHOOLS IN AMERICA.
AND WE SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT, WHICH IS, I NEVER HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT EVEN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
I MEAN, THAT'S A GOOD POINT FOR OUR SCHOOL.
I MEAN, OUR SCHOOL, UH, SCHOLASTICALLY HAS BEEN GOOD.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, WHEN THREE OF THESE GUYS ON HERE AND THERE WERE ALL, MY FRIENDS WERE FOOTBALL PLAYERS BEING THREE GUYS ON HERE, UH, UH, RON FISHER, JOHN'S PAULA AND, UH, KEN GIBBS.
WE HAD TERRIBLE, I WASN'T HERE AT, BUT THEY HAD TERRIBLE FOOTBALL TEAMS. THE YEAR I CAME, THEY WERE.
AND THEN THE FIRST YEAR I CAME UNDER A SEAWEED BEFORE MIKE SNYDER CAME UP HERE AND THEN THEY STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD.
THEY HAD BEEN MOVING FORWARD EVER SINCE.
RIGHT? I HAVE TO COME BACK ANOTHER TIME UNTIL YOU REMEMBER.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHY I CAME UP HERE THE FIRST TIME? UH, I, I DON'T THE LAST TIME I REMEMBER SEEING YOU PRIOR TO IT WAS REGARDING SOME OF THE, UH, PARK ISSUES THAT DR.
DAHL PARK, I REMEMBER YOU FROM, THAT'S ANOTHER THING.
WHY DON'T WE JUST PUT THE PICNIC TABLE EVERY TIME I GO PAST, UP THERE AT Y'ALL PARK, IT'S LOADED WITH PEOPLE.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST PUT PICNIC TABLES AND SOME SWING SETS? THEY'RE SOMETHING IT'S SITTING EMPTY FOR.
I'VE BEEN OVER THERE 40 YEARS.
IT'S BEEN EMPTY 45 YEARS SINCE 1977.
I CAN TELL HOW LONG IT'S BEEN, RIGHT.
YOU WANT TO GIVE ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES TILL WEEK, TWO WEEKS FROM NO TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.
AND I GET ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES.
I CAN FINISH MY NOTES AND IN, AND IN THE MEANTIME, THAT'S NOT, IT.
THAT'S NOT WHY I CAME UP TO YOU.
AND REMEMBER MAYOR, GIVE ME SOME TIMES I CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE VIDEOS AND I'LL REMEMBER.
[00:45:02]
OKAY.THE OTHER REASON WHY I LEFT LAST WEEK, YOU KNOW WHY I STILL THINK IF YOU NEED TO SPEND SOME TIME, LOOK AT THAT CORRIDOR UP THERE.
UM, IT'S THERE, EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE PUTTING ANOTHER LANE IN THERE, I THINK IT'S GONNA BE, UH, IT'S ALREADY TAUGHT.
NEXT WE HAVE MR. MATTHEW TRUMAN.
IF YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.
SO NOT TO A DRAG ON, I PREPARED THIS GOOD EVENING, MARIN COUNCIL.
FIRST I'M PROUD THAT HEBREW HEIGHTS FINALLY HAS A VETERANS MEMORIAL.
I'M HERE DUE TO MY CONCERNS OF POLITICAL INFLUENCE OVER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS BY SOME OF HUBRIS POLITICIANS.
TONIGHT, I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE THAT WAS BROUGHT UP AT THE LAST COUNCIL WORK SESSION ON AUGUST THE FIRST 2022.
I WAS LISTENING TO HEAR ABOUT ANOTHER ITEM.
WHEN MAYOR GORE INTRODUCED THE DISCUSSION TO BLEND SOME OF THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS TOGETHER, NAMELY THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION AND THE MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMISSION.
HE SAID, AND I QUOTE, THE VETERANS COMMISSION HAS NOT MET THE LAST TWO.
MAYBE THE LAST THREE TIMES, THIS BODY HAD A LENGTHY DISCUSSION ABOUT WHY THIS SHOULD TAKE PLACE.
I HONESTLY UNDERSTAND THE NEED.
YOU SIMPLY CANNOT GET ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS.
ANOTHER QUOTE FROM THE MAYOR WAS WE DON'T GET A LOT OF APPLICANTS.
HE ALSO SAID, WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE SOME HONEST DISCUSSION HERE.
WELL, I'M HERE TO DO JUST THAT.
WATCHING THE MEETING, I WAS INFURIATED.
A LOT OF THINGS WERE SAID THAT SEEMED TO ME, AND I'M SURE TO OTHERS THAT SOME WERE BLAMING THE CITIZENS FOR NOT STEPPING UP.
ONE OF THE COUNSELORS SAID, I THINK THE BIGGER PROBLEM HERE IS NOT COUNCIL.
IF I MAY, YOU'RE THE SUPPOSEDLY LEADERS AND SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR NOT DELIVERING ON YOUR PROMISES, OBLIGATIONS AND INTENT.
I HEARD ANOTHER COUNSELOR SAY, I THINK WE CAN FIND SOME AMAZING VOLUNTEERS.
IF WE EMPOWER OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, I'LL USE THIS QUOTE TO ADD.
IF YOU STOP PLAYING POLITICS, THERE MAY HAVE BEEN VOLUNTEERS ALREADY IN PLACE.
ONE OF THE VERY COMMISSIONS YOU NOW, YOU NOW HAVE TO FOLD INTO PARKS AND RECREATION WAS AN IDEA STOLEN FROM COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS, MANY VETERANS.
IN FACT, IN MY OPINION, OVER POLITICS, I WAS A MEMBER OF AN ORGANIZATION CALLED THE CUBER HEIGHTS VETERANS PROJECT.
I SPENT THOUSANDS OF MY OWN PERSONAL DOLLARS TO HELP DEVELOP THIS NONPROFIT.
WE GATHERED A TEAM OF VETERANS, CITIZENS, AND WHOMEVER FROM COUNCIL.
WE INVITED EVERYONE, A FEW SHOWED UP.
I BELIEVE BECAUSE I SPOKE OUT ON MY PERSONAL TIME ABOUT SOME IDEAS OF THE CITY GOVERNMENT.
WE WERE BOXED OUT AND EVENTUALLY MAYOR GORD LED AN INITIATIVE TO CRUSH US.
THAT BECAME THE MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMISSION.
WE PARTNERED WITH OTHER NONPROFITS TO HOPEFULLY BRING THE BANNERS.
YOU NOW SEE OUT HERE ON VETERANS PARKWAY, TAYLORSVILLE ROAD, THE CITY MANAGER AT THE TIME DENIED NIGHT.
OUR PLAN FOR BANNERS ONLY TO SAY SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES WE CAN'T PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH NONPROFITS WE WORK WITH THIS, IN MY OPINION, WASN'T THE CASE BECAUSE SHORTLY BEFORE OR AFTER, I CAN'T FIGHT, REMEMBER THE CITY WAS PARTNERING WITH SOME TYPE OF GARDENING OPERATION THAT I DON'T BELIEVE EVEN GOT OFF THE GROUND.
THE CITY MOST CERTAINLY CHOOSES WHO TO PARTNER WITH.
AND IT'S ALL DONE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO IT IMPACTS EVEN A GOOD DIVERSE VETERAN ORGANIZATION, WILLING TO WORK THEIR TAILS OFF, TO RAISE THE MONEY FOR VETERANS MEMORIALS, BANNERS, OUTREACH, AND SO MUCH MORE WERE DENIED AND ESSENTIALLY ELIMINATED OVER POLITICS.
SO THE TAXPAYERS DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY OF IT.
THEY'RE PAYING FOR IT OVER A MILLION DOLLARS.
WHEN POLITICS BLEED IN SOME POLITICIANS, EGOS CAN'T TAKE IT.
THEY DON'T CARE WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM.
AS LONG AS THE GROUP I HAD AT HBP HAD NO LONGER A PURPOSE IN THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS, THAT'S WRONG.
BACK THEN, SOME ARE TELLING OTHERS IT WAS BECAUSE THE CITY COULD DO IT BETTER.
[00:50:03]
SO IF YOU PLAN TO ENCOURAGE VOLUNTEERS AND WORK WITH NONPROFITS, I SAY OUTSTANDING.I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST YOU START A NEW FIRST MAYOR GORE.
YOU SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO THE VETERANS AND THE TAXPAYERS OF HUBER HEIGHTS.
WHY? BECAUSE YOU LED THE VETERANS COMMISSION INITIATIVE, WHY THERE WAS ALREADY VETERANS OUT THERE DOING THE WORK.
YOU ALSO KNEW ALL OF THE INTIMATE DETAILS BEHIND OUR WORK.
YOU WITH SOME OTHERS, I'M NOT SPEAKING ABOUT THE COMMISSION WHO DEVELOPED YOUR IDEA, KILLED OUR NONPROFIT.
THERE ARE SOME OTHERS ON THIS DIOCESE AND THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY WHO WONDER WHY YOU HAVE TROUBLE FINDING PEOPLE TO HELP? MAY I SUGGEST YOU START OVER TODAY, ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG.
APOLOGIZE AND NEVER ALLOW POLITICS TO BLOCK GOOD THINGS FROM FOLKS WHO MAY SIMPLY DISAGREE WITH YOUR PROPOSED LEGISLATION OR THE INVENTIVE HANDLING OF THE CHARTER.
DON'T LET POLITICS DESTROY NONPROFITS OR PUSH AWAY VOLUNTEERS.
THEN MAYBE I THINK THERE WILL BE FOLKS WILLING TO FORGIVE AND MOVE FORWARD.
THAT'S IT, MATT, AS ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.
THANKS FOR YOUR OPINIONS, MAYOR.
CAN YOU PLEASE STATE WHERE YOU LIVE? ONE WHAT STREET IN HEBREW? I DON'T LIVE IN HEBREW.
I LIVED IN HUBER HEIGHTS FOR 37 YEARS.
I'VE VOLUNTEERED FOR THE PARKS CLEANUP INITIATIVE WHERE YOU ADOPT A PARK WAY BACK IN OH SEVEN.
I WAS SAT ON THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION FOR MANY MONTHS.
I VOLUNTEERED ALL OVER THIS CITY.
WHERE DID YOU VOLUNTEER? WOULD YOU LIKE TO LIST AHEAD AND ST.
PETER'S SCHOOL? SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER FORAGE ADVISOR PICKED UP TRASH.
SO WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO WITH THIS? OKAY.
SO THIS SAYS, THIS IS NOT SUBSTANCE COMMENTS.
YOU INVITED ME UP HERE TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION.
I INVITED YOU TO SPEAK YOUR MIND.
AND SO YOU'RE WELCOME YOU TO ATTEND A MEETING.
ANYTIME YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE MATTER WE HAVE HAD FACEBOOK CONVERSATIONS AND WE'VE HAD PHONE CONVERSATIONS.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS AT GREAT LENGTH, AND I'VE BEEN, SO YOU GOT NOTHING TO SAY.
SO MATT, THANK YOU FOR PROVING.
YOU AND I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS DISCUSSIONS, PRIVATE DISCUSSIONS, PHONE CALLS, AND THERE'S NO, I HAVE BEEN TRUTHFUL WITH YOU.
AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT I CAN SAY.
THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE YOUR MIND.
YOU BELIEVE SOON YOU HAD YOUR TIME.
YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT MY INTENTIONS WERE.
SO YOU'RE TELLING EVERYBODY HERE IN THIS AUDIENCE AND WHO'S WATCHING THAT, YOU KNOW, MY INTENTIONS AND YOU DUMPED, THERE WERE LOTS OF THINGS THAT WENT ON.
OKAY? LOTS OF DISCUSSION EVERYBODY ON THIS COUNCIL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MS. KITCHEN.
CAUSE SHE WASN'T ON COUNCIL VOTED.
TO APPROVE THE FORMATION OF VETERANS COMMISSION.
YOU CAN GO BACK AND WATCH EVERY NEWS BROADCAST THAT WAS DONE WHEN THE VETERANS COMMISSION WAS, WAS FORMED.
AND YOU WILL HEAR ME SAY NOTHING OTHER THAN WE KNOW, WE HAVE VETERANS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO NEED SERVICES AND THERE ARE SERVICES AVAILABLE, WRIGHT PATTERSON, AIR FORCE BASE FOR VETERANS, AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S AVAILABLE AND WE NEED TO HELP LINK THEM UP AS DATA.
SO YOU'VE ACCUSED ME OF A LOT OF THINGS I'M GOING TO RESPOND.
SO THAT MS. DANA FLAVI APPROACHED ME ABOUT CREATING A VETERANS COMMISSION.
SHE WORKS AT WRIGHT PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE.
IN FACT, I BELIEVE MS.
SHE'S LIKE THE HEAD OF ALL FAMILY SERVICES AT RIGHTPATH NATIONWIDE FOR THE AIR FORCE.
I TURNED OVER TO ROB SHOMER, HER AND ROB GOT TOGETHER.
THEY TALKED THEY'RE THE ONES THAT DEVELOPED THE IDEA THAT THERE IS COMMISSION.
SO THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF DOCUMENTS THAT WE HAVE.
WELL, THERE'S THE THERE ON THE, UM, THE, ON THE PUBLIC RECORDS PORTAL.
CAN YOU, CAN YOU, CAN YOU ADD THOSE TO THEM? SO ALL THE DOCUMENTATION, CREATING A VETERANS MEMORIAL, ALL THE BACKSTORY THAT MR. SCHUMER'S CREATED, ALL THOSE THINGS ARE PUBLIC DOCUMENTS.
THEY'RE ALL THERE FOR ANYBODY TO READ ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO SEE THEM OVER A YEAR AGO, NIGHT, OCTOBER OF 2019.
YOU SIT AT THAT VERY PODIUM AND YOU WERE THANKFUL YOU THANKED US FOR CREATING A VETERANS COMMISSION.
SO I'M NOT SURE WHERE ALL THIS COMES FROM AND WHY YOU'RE STILL SO ANGRY.
WE HAVE A MILLION DOLLAR VETERANS MEMORIAL THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST MEMORIALS ON ANYWHERE IN THE REGION.
OKAY? SO EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU'RE SEEING IS JUST CONJECTURE AND SHARE OPINION OF SOMETHING THAT I'VE DONE.
AND THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHERE MY HEART WAS AT AND WHAT MY INTENTIONS WERE.
AND YOU JUST DON'T, YOU, YOU JUST DON'T.
SO AS LONG AS YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, EVERYTHING YOU'VE SAID IS YOUR OPINION.
WELL, THEN I HAVE MY OPINION, BUT I ALSO HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION, ALL THE RECORDS AND THERE'S VIDEOS AND, AND
[00:55:01]
THERE'S MEETING MINUTES.THERE'S EVERYTHING THAT CAN GO BACK AND SHOW EXACTLY HOW EVERYTHING WAS FORMED.
SO LET'S TALK, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE BANNERS.
I GAVE, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
I HOPE THAT I GAVE YOU YOUR TIME.
THE BANK, THE BANNER PROGRAM, MR. SCHOMER HAD A CONVERSATION, HAD A MEETING WITH KEEGAN MILLER REGARDING THE BANNERS AND THE COST TO LEASE THE POLES, THE LEASING, AND THE FEE AGREEMENTS TO LEASE THE POLL.
SO BRIAN, WE CHARGE WHAT $165 FOR SOMEONE TO BUY A BANNER IS THAT THE COST ENTIRE $65 THE COST.
IF THE CITY, THE CITY DIDN'T DO IT.
IF WE WANTED TO GET THE BANNERS UP, THERE WERE ALL KINDS OF LEASE AGREEMENTS AND FEES THAT WENT TO ALL THE POLLS BECAUSE THE CITY DOESN'T OWN THOSE.
THERE'S THE P AND L THEY OWN THOSE MIAMI LIGHTING WHO MANAGES THOSE.
ALL OF THE COSTS INCURRED FROM CITY EMPLOYEES, TIME, HOURS, LABOR MANPOWER, TO HANG ALL THOSE.
THE COST OF THOSE BANNERS WOULD BE WELL OVER $350 FOR THE ONES THAT WE PUT UP.
AND THAT WAS A DECISION THAT ROB HAD MADE WITH MR. MILLER ABOUT THE BANNERS, BECAUSE WE COULD DO IT LESS BECAUSE THE P AND L WOULD NOT GIVE FREE LEASES FOR ANY OTHER OUTSIDE PROGRAM OR A NONPROFIT TO PUT THINGS ON THEIR POLES THAT THEY OWNED.
SO THE DECISION WAS MADE AS FAR AS MY UNDERSTANDING GOES, I WASN'T PRIVY TO THAT MEETING, BUT I KNOW WHAT I WAS TOLD THAT PEOPLE PROBABLY WOULDN'T SPEND $350 FOR A BANNER.
AND THEY WOULD PROBABLY SPEND MORE THAN THAT, OR HAVE TO SPEND MORE THAN THAT IN ORDER FOR THAT NON-PROFIT TO ACTUALLY MAKE A PROFIT.
SO THEY COULD THEN DONATE WHATEVER MONEY OR HELP WITH THE VETERANS MEMORIAL OR WHATEVER ELSE THAT WAS.
SO YOU DON'T KNOW THE PLAN THAT'S REGURGITATING WHAT YOU WERE TOLD.
RIGHT? WELL, AT THAT TIME, THE CITY MANAGER, I LISTENED TO WHAT HE SAID AND WHAT THAT CONVERSATION WAS.
WE'VE HAD THAT A MEMORIAL DAY.
WE'VE HAD THAT CONVERSATION IN THE PAST, MR. MILLER'S NAME WAS BROUGHT UP.
WE HAD THAT DISCUSSION AND THERE WAS NOBODY.
AND THE MANAGER LIE TO YOU ABOUT THE MEMORIAL GRANTED? UH, I THINK HE SAID SOME THINGS THAT WEREN'T TRUE.
SO MAYBE, PERHAPS I'M NOT SAYING HE DID OR HE DIDN'T, PERHAPS HE LIED ABOUT OTHER THINGS AS WELL.
W WELL, HE COULD HAVE, BUT I DIDN'T GIVE HIM AN INQUISITION.
HE, I, NOBODY TOLD ME I KNOW HOW IT PLAYED OUT AND NOBODY HAD ANY COMPLAINTS OR PROBLEMS WITH IT OTHER THAN YOU, BUT NOTHING TOO.
BUT WITH STARTING THE COMMISSION, IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID? THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TELLING EVERYONE BASICALLY V APPROACHED ME.
SO WHATEVER I'VE SAID ON VIDEO OR HOW THAT WAS GOING TO WORK, I CAN GO BACK TO AGAIN.
SO THE NEWSCAST, THE PURPOSE OF I HAVE DOCUMENTS TO, OKAY, MAYOR, THIS IS A TEXT MESSAGE FROM YOU MARRIED IT.
BUT IT WAS YOUR COMMITTEE TALKING TO ME THAT THAT STARTED IT.
I KNOW YOU TOOK ISSUE WITH MY POST ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOU WERE POSTING RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION AND TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO SEE, HEY, I DID THIS, I KNOW YOU TOOK ISSUE WITH MY POST ABOUT IT, BUT I DID LEAD THE INITIATIVE TO START THE COMMISSION.
AND WHAT I SAID WAS, AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE BEST MEMORIAL IN THE REGION.
I REPEAT, I DID LEAD THE INITIATIVE TO START THE COMMISSION.
I HAVE TOLD YOU THIS PLEA THAT CAME TO ME AND THEN I GAVE HER TWO MINUTES.
WHAT YOU KEEP SAYING? WELL, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED? YOU GOT ANGRY.
CAUSE I DID A PODCAST AND I TALKED ABOUT CERTAIN ISSUES UP HERE.
SO YOU CRUSHED OUR ORGANIZATION.
NOBODY SAID YOU KNEW WE WERE HERE.
HOW MANY UPDATES DID WE DO HERE, MATT? YOU GOT TO SPEAK.
THAT'S WHY CAN'T I HAVE A TIME.
AND YOUR OPINIONS ARE YOUR OPINIONS.
BUT JUST BECAUSE THEIR OPINIONS DOES NOT MAKE THEM FACT IT'S FACTS RIGHT HERE, YOU LIED AND TOLD EVERYBODY THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE ALL, SHE SHE'S THE ONE THAT CAME TO ME AND YOU LET I LEAVE.
THAT WAS IN SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER OF 2018.
AND YOU WERE ALREADY TALKING TO US, YOU VOLUNTEERED TO BE OUR TREASURER FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
AND WHEN YOU GOT DENIED IS WHEN YOU STARTED TO CHANGE THINGS UP A LITTLE BIT, WHEN YOU BECAME MAYOR, IS WHEN YOU CRUSHED OUR ORGANIZATION FOR YOUR OWN BENEFITS.
UH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S HOW I FEEL IN A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE FEEL THE SAME WAY, BUT THAT'S JUST HOW IT HAPPENED.
THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT HAS BEEN HERE, MR. SHERMAN.
I APPRECIATE ALL THE EFFORTS OF HVP.
I APPRECIATE THE TIME I SPENT, UM, I HAVE NO CONCERNS ABOUT THE MONEY I SPENT.
UM, I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL FOR, FOR GOOD PURPOSE.
UM, TO CONJECTURE, IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
UM, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT BELIEFS AS TO WHY I MIGHT'VE MISSED A COUNCIL MEETING, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, DO YOUR THING.
I APPRECIATE YOUR STANCE ON VETERANS AND HUBER HEIGHTS.
YOU'VE ALWAYS HAD A HARD STANCE PRO VETERAN IN HUBER HEIGHTS AS A VETERAN.
[01:00:01]
REASON I'M HERE AND THE REASON I CAME, I CAME AND DID, I WAS PROUD BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY THE MAYOR THAT THIS COMMISSION IS NOT JUST GOING TO BE ABOUT BUILDING A MEMORIAL.WE'RE GOING TO BE HELPING EVERYBODY.
WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING OTHER INITIATIVES AND TAKING CARE OF THINGS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO.
BUT NOW YOU GOT TO FOLD IT IN BECAUSE YOUR INITIATIVE DIDN'T WORK AND YOU WATCHED IT NOT WORK.
AND NOW THERE'S VETERANS THAT COULD GET HELP FROM THE CITY BECAUSE YOU TOOK IT OVER AND THEY WON'T.
[8. Citizens Registered to Speak on Agenda Items]
AND NEXT WEEK YOU HAVE CITIZENS REGISTER, SPEAK ON AGENDA ITEMS. I HAVE ONE TO SPEAK ON ITEMS, TENNESSEE, TENNESSEE.[9. City Manager Report]
OKAY.NEXT UP IS ITEM NINE, WHICH IS THE ST.
BRIAN, HOW ARE YOU, SIR? I'M GOOD, SIR.
HOW ABOUT YOURSELF? VERY GOOD.
GOOD COUPLE OF ITEMS FOR COUNSELING IN THE COMMUNITY COMMUNITY TONIGHT, UH, WITH RESPECT TO ISSUES PERTAINING TO THE WATER SYSTEM.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE COUNCIL WHERE THAT, UH, CROXTON UH, HAS BEEN SENT OVER TO THE CONTRACTOR FOR SCHEDULING.
SO THAT IS NOW A PART OF THE, UH, 20 22, 20 23 WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROGRAM.
UH, COUNCIL SHOULD EXPECT AN UPDATE FROM THE LAW DIRECTOR, UH, AT ITS NEXT WORK SESSION REGARDING THE WESTFIELD PROPERTY ACQUISITION.
UH, ALSO WANT TO MAKE COUNCIL AWARE THAT AUTHORIZING LEGISLATION TO SOLICIT SOLICIT DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE 2023 WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT, UH, IS ALSO EXPECTED BEFORE COUNCIL IN SEPTEMBER.
SO IF WE CAN'T, UH, GET THE PIPE IN A TIMELY MANNER, WE WILL PROCEED WITH DESIGNING SO THAT WHEN THE PIPE DOES HERE, WE'LL BE READY TO GO.
SO I WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THAT, UH, WITH SOME OTHER GENERALIZED BUSINESS OF THE CITY, UH, FOR THE COMMUNITY, JUST BE ADVISED THAT HYDRANT FLUSHING BEGAN LAST WEEK, UH, AND WILL CONTINUE, UH, THROUGH THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 7TH.
UH, THE SCHEDULE FOR THOSE FLUSHINGS IS AVAILABLE ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE, AND WE WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO, UH, TO GO THERE AND LOOK WHEN THEIR COMMUNITY MAY BE AFFECTED, UH, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE CITY, UH, THE CITY'S GUIDING DOCUMENT, UH, WITH HOW IT FORESEES, UH, DEVELOPMENT IN A, UM, TRANSITION IN THE FUTURE.
UH, WE ARE UPDATING THAT PLAN AS WE SPEAK, UH, AND WE WERE LOOKING FOR CITIZEN INPUT AND WE WOULD ASK THAT TO ANYONE WHO'S INTERESTED, UH, TO CONTINUE, UH, THE, UH, THE POSITIVE TRENDS HERE IN THE CITY TO GO TO THAT WEBSITE, TO GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND COMMENT ON THE COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN.
UH, ALSO WANT TO MAKE EVERYBODY AWARE THAT WE STARTED THE, UH, 20, 23 BUDGET PLANNING.
UH, SO THE, UH, DOCUMENTS, UH, FOR THE BUDGET HAVE BEEN SENT OUT TO, UH, ALL MEMBERS OF STAFF, SENIOR STAFF, SO THEY CAN BE PROCEEDING, UH, AND PUTTING TOGETHER THEIR VARIOUS, UH, BUDGET COMPONENTS.
SO ITEMS THAT HAVE COME OUR WAY FROM COUNCILS, SUCH AS, UH, THE, UH, THE CITY'S WEBSITE REDESIGN OR, UH, THE SIDEWALK ALONG, UH, BRAND PIKE, UH, TOM CLOUD PARK, UH, THOSE ARE ALL ITEMS THAT WILL BE COMING BACK UP IN INCLUDED AS PART OF THAT BUDGET.
UH, SO WE'LL BE, UH, WE'LL BE WORKING THROUGH TO GET THOSE, UH, ITEMS BEFORE COUNCIL SOON, AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, UH, FRIDAY AT THE ICC, UH, THE BLUES ROCK BAND, UH, NASTY BINGO.
I WILL BE PLAYING FROM SIX TO NINE WITH FOOD TRUCKS.
I HEARD ICE CREAM AND MAMA AND MILLS DOGS.
SO ANYBODY, ANYBODY WHO'S INTERESTED, UH, AND, UH, GOOD ICE CREAM, GOOD HOT DOGS, OR A GREAT, UH, BLUES ROCK MUSIC SHOULD COME ON OUT TO THE ICC.
SO, UH, THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR COUNCIL, IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE COUNCIL HAS FOR ME, SIR.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR BRIAN REGARDING ANYTHING ON THE WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECTS? YES, SIR.
WE'VE GOT THE PACE ORDER FOR THE 22 STREETS AND WE'VE TAUGHT WE'RE GOING TO NEXT MONTH TO GETTING THAT TAKEN CARE OF FOR 23.
SO I KNOW HE HAD A DELAY ON PIPE CURRENTLY, BUT BY THE END OF NEXT YEAR, WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT WHAT 6, 8, 10 THE STREETS WITH REPLACEMENT.
SO WE WOULD, WELL KEEP IN MIND THAT WE BUDGET A FIXED AMOUNT AND HOWEVER MANY STREETS THAT AMOUNT WE'LL COVER IS WHAT GETS DONE.
SO I CAN'T SAY THAT IT'D BE 10 STREETS.
I CAN'T SAY THAT IT'D BE TWO STREETS, BUT IT WILL BE A, FOR THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WE CAN GET DONE FOR THAT PARTICULAR, UH, UH, FOR THAT PARTICULAR BUDGET ITEM.
THE IDEA WOULD BE, UH, WE CAN START DESIGNING FOR THE 20, 23 WORK NOW, UH, WE CAN ORDER PIPE LATE THIS YEAR, OR WE COULD EARLY PIPE THE FIRST PART OF 2023.
SO AS THE 2022 WORK, WHICH WE'LL BE FINISHING UP AT EARLY 23, WE COULD THEN JUST A FEW, FEW WEEKS, IF NOT JUST A FEW MONTHS LATER, THEN BEGAN ON THE 20, 23 PROGRAM AS WELL.
SO ONCE WE GET SOME INITIAL DESIGN CONCEPTS, WE CAN THEN ORDER THAT PIPE IN ADVANCE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM RYAN NANCY, BRIAN, WHAT'S THE STATUS OF THE EDGE FOR
[01:05:01]
ONLY COMMUNITY GRANT? UH, I'D HAVE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH PARTS MANAGER, JOSH KANE, BUT I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT AND SEND AN EMAIL OUT TO COUNCIL IN THE FUTURE.I, I KNOW WE HAVE ONE YEAR TO, TO MEET THE INITIAL REQUIREMENTS.
ANYONE ELSE? YES, RICHARD, THANK YOU.
MA'AM UM, BRIAN, IT'S COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT THERE WAS AN EMAIL THAT'S BEEN SENT OUT REGARDING SOME, UM, SOME VOLUMES OF NOISE LEVELS COMING FROM THE EICHELBERGER.
I KNOW YOU HAD MENTIONED THE EICHELBERGER AND YOUR UPDATE.
UM, I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD ANYTHING TO SHARE ABOUT THAT.

(second reading)]
ONE X UP AS I'M 10 BEAT.I AM 10, BE AN ORDINANCE TO APPROVE A MAJOR CHANGE TO THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF OLD TROY PIKE AND TAYLORSVILLE ROAD FURTHER IDENTIFIED HIS PERSONAL NUMBER P 7 0 0 4 0 0 5 0 0 1 5 ON THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY AUDITOR'S MAP AND ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN CASE MJC TWO, TWO DASH TWO, ONE OR THE SECOND READING AND BRIAN COMMENTS.
UH, THIS IS AN ITEM THAT COUNCIL SAW, UH, AT THE LAST MEETING AS, UH, SHEETZ GAS STATION.
UH, THERE WAS A DISCUSSION BY COUNCIL AT THAT TIME.
UM, AND WHILE THE, UH, FIRST READING WAS APPROVED, THERE WAS A REQUEST TO MAKE CHANGES TO THE, UH, ADOPTING LEGISLATION, UH, TO ADDRESS THE GAS STATION.
UH, AND WITH THAT, SIR, I WOULD DEAL THE FLOOR TO THE CLERK WHO HAS THE APPROPRIATE INFORMATION FOR COUNCIL TONY, IF YOU WOULD.
UH, SO AS DISCUSSED AT THE LAST COUNCIL WORK SESSION, THERE IS AN AMENDED ORDINANCE THAT WAS PLACED IN YOUR PACKET TO REPLACE THE ORDINANCE THAT IT APPEARED AT THE FIRST READING.
UH, THIS AMENDED ORDINANCE ALSO INCLUDES AN EXHIBIT A, WHICH IS THE, UH, AMENDED, UH, BASIC SITE PLAN, UH, THAT EXCLUDES THE CARWASH FROM THAT PLAN.
SO, UH, COUNCIL'S EXTRA TONIGHT WOULD BE TO AMEND THE ORDINANCE TO REPLACE IT WITH THE AMENDED ORDINANCE AND EXHIBIT A, UH, FOLLOWED BY A VOTE ON, UH, ADOPTION.
IS THERE A MOTION TO AMEND MARK MOTION TO AMEND NANCY SECOND MOTION AND A SECOND
[01:10:01]
TO AMEND THE ORDINANCE? IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? YES, RICHARD, UM, I STILL STAND BY MY COMMENTS MADE AT THE WORK SESSION, UH, REGARDING, UH, THIS BUSINESS BEING PLATES AT THE INTERSECTION.UM, UH, IT HAS BEEN FURTHER VERIFIED THROUGH THE CITY THAT THIS INTERSECTION HAS THE HIGHEST CRASH, UM, UH, PER CAPITA IN THE CITY.
UH, WE ARE, IN MY OPINION, GOING TO BE ADDING TO A SAFETY CONCERN OF THE CITY.
UM, AND, UH, I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE A ROAD IMPROVEMENT PLAN AHEAD.
UH, HOWEVER, WE HAVE NO TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY TO STATE THAT IT'S GOING TO LESSEN OR MAINTAIN THAT CURRENT IMPACT STUDY.
UH, FURTHERMORE, THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY THAT WAS SUPPLIED IN THE PACKET, UM, I BELIEVE IS CONTRADICTED BY, UH, STAFF'S INFORMATION ALONG WITH OUR POLICE CHIEF ON THE TRAFFIC CRASHES THAT OCCUR THERE, UH, THROUGHOUT THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS.
UM, AND, AND FINALLY, THIS WAS NOT A PART OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THIS COUNCIL AND TO PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, WHICH I, UH, WHICH I BELIEVE FOR SEVERAL REASONS, UH, AS Y PLANNING COMMISSION DID NOT UNANIMOUSLY APPROVE THIS.
UM, AND, UH, AND WHY I BELIEVE THAT, UH, UM, THIS GOT SNUCK IN, UM, FOR ALL THOSE REASONS TONIGHT AND FOR THE ADDITIONAL REASON THAT I DON'T BELIEVE THIS COMMUNITY NEEDS ANOTHER GAS STATION, UM, AS IT HAS BEEN FURTHER PROVIDED BY BY CITY STAFF THAT WE ALREADY HAVE, UM, OVER THE AMOUNT OF GAS STATIONS PER CAPITA, UM, UH, WITH THE INFORMATION SUPPLIED, UM, I'LL BE IN ON THIS TONIGHT, UH, MAYOR, HOWEVER, MY COMMENTS DO STILL STAND.
I APPRECIATE THE BRAND, UM, THAT HAS COME TO THE CITY.
UM, I WILL STILL UTILIZE THIS BRAND WHEN I'M OUT DRIVING.
UM, AGAIN, UH, THESE ARE CONCERNS THAT ARE SUPPORTED BY MY CONSTITUENTS AS WELL.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS, GLENN? UH, I WOULD ECHO WHAT MR. SHAW HAD SAID PRIMARILY.
UH, I DON'T KNOW THAT A GAS STATION ON THIS CORNER, ESPECIALLY ONE OF THIS CALIBER IS GOING TO BE A POSITIVE THING FROM THE TRAFFIC STANDPOINT.
UM, WITH THAT BEING SAID, I DO THINK THE BRAND IS TOP-NOTCH.
I DO THINK, UH, AND I DO HAVE TO, UH, HOPE THAT THE TRAFFIC LANE CHANGES AND, AND SOME OF THE THINGS MOVING ALONG IN THE FUTURE, WE'LL OPEN THAT UP AND HOPEFULLY WE WON'T HAVE THE ISSUES AND I'LL BE WRONG ON THIS.
UM, BUT I, I WANT IT JUST TO BE PUBLIC, TO KNOW THAT I HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS.
I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE GROWING NUMBER OF GAS STATIONS, AND I THINK THERE'S MORE TO COME THAT WE REALLY DON'T NEED.
BUT, UM, ON THIS ONE, I WILL VOICE MY CONCERNS, BUT, UM, I WILL SUPPORT THIS ONE TONIGHT, EXTRA COMMENTS.
DOES ANYONE ELSE? OKAY, SO WE HAVE THE, A, THIS WOULD BE THE ROLL CALL TO AMEND LEGISLATION.
AND MOTION TO AMEND, CARRY SIX TO TWO, AND NEXT WE WOULD NEED A MOTION FOR ADOPTION.
MR. CAMPBELL MOTION TO ADOPT FOR A SECOND.
MS. WEBB, I WILL SECOND THE MOTION AND A SECOND.

THEY ARE GORE AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK.
I'M JANET HART, PRESIDENT OF THE, UH, PAULINE PAULINE COUNTY.
[01:15:01]
THAT ARE HIGH LIVED IN PAULDING COUNTY, UM, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.AND I HAVE WITH ME PAT LOCI, WHO WAS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD AND RUTH CROP, WHO IS ALSO MAG RUTH CUP IS ALSO A MEMBER.
UM, I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SPEAK THIS EVENING BECAUSE, UM, THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR AS PRESIDENT, BUT I'VE BEEN WITH THE CENTER FOR 12 YEARS.
UM, I'M TRYING TO STAY CALM, BUT I HAVE A GREAT VISION FOR A FUTURE SENIOR CENTER.
I HOPE YOU DO TOO, BECAUSE WE ARE IN THIS FOR THE LONG HAUL.
UH, I'VE BEEN A MEMBER FOR 12 YEARS AND IT IS REALLY A SECOND HOME FOR ME.
I'VE LIVED IN SEVERAL AREAS OF OHIO.
AND, UM, I MUST SAY, EVEN THOUGH I'VE WRITTEN THESE NOTES, I, I'M NOT USING THEM.
I MUST SAY, WELL, THIS IS ONE OF THE FRIENDLIEST PLACES I HAVE EVER LIVED.
UM, AND I DON'T SAY THAT LIGHTLY.
I'M VERY PLEASED TO BE BACK IN THIS AREA.
UM, I HAVE, OF COURSE WE PREPARED, BUT WE WON'T SHARE WITH YOU FIVE PAGES OF NEEDS FOR A SENIOR CENTER.
UM, AND WE'VE SHARED WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE.
IT'S A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT ON ALL OF OUR PARTS AS TO WHAT WE DO NEED.
THESE AREN'T NECESSARILY WANTS THEY ARE NEEDS.
UM, WE HAVE TWO MAJOR ROOMS. WE HAVE 600 MEMBERS, UH, ALMOST 600 MEMBERS AND WE TRY TO HOUSE THEM IN TWO ROOMS IN THE CENTER.
UM, TODAY I HAD TWO MEETINGS AND I HAD TO PULL UP A TABLE AND CHAIRS IN THE KITCHEN.
CAUSE THERE WAS NO OTHER PLACE FOR ME TO MEET WITH MEMBERS AND OTHER PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY.
UM, I KNOW THAT WE, AS SENIORS HAVE LIVED IN THE AREA, WE HAVE WORKED IN THIS AREA FOR YEARS.
WE RAISED OUR FAMILIES IN THIS AREA.
WE HAVE PAID OUR DUES IN THIS AREA AND WE'VE EVEN PAID OUR TAXES IN THIS AREA.
AND WE SURELY WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO RECONSIDER US WHEN YOU THINK OF WHAT WE NEED IN THIS COMMUNITY.
UM, I'M ONLY GOING TO BE A SENIOR FOR SO LONG NOW.
AND I'M LOOKING AT ALL OF YOU AND SOMEDAY YOU WILL BE JOINING ME OR AT LEAST YOU WILL BE IN THERE FOR SOME GOOD TIMES.
THERE ARE LOTS OF PROGRAMS WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE, BUT WE CAN'T HAVE THEM BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE SPACE.
UM, WE JUST RECENTLY WE HAD TWO SOCIALS.
WE CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE YOU TO COME TO ONE OF OUR SOCIALS.
WE LOVE IT, BUT WE, UM, HAVE TO FOLD UP TABLES AND CHAIRS.
AND THERE WERE FIVE OF US AFTER THE SOCIAL FOLDING UP TABLES AND CHAIRS.
UM, I PLUS FOUR OF THE OTHERS WERE 80 AND ABOVE AND YET WE WERE LIFTING HEAVY TABLES AND HANGING UP CHAIRS WHEN WE HAD 75 PEOPLE THERE.
SO THAT'S A LOT OF TABLES AND CHAIRS.
AND EVERY TIME WE HAVE AN ACTIVITY, WE HAVE TO PUT THEM UP AND TAKE THEM DOWN AND STORE THEM.
AND SOMETIMES THAT'S THREE TO FOUR TIMES A DAY.
SO IT'S REALLY TOUGH WHEN YOU'RE EIGHT YEARS OLD TO CONTINUE LIFTING TABLES AND CHAIRS.
UM, WE, WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE CAPABLE OF DOING THAT.
I WALKED IN TODAY AND THERE ARE FOUR OTHER LADIES WALKING IN WITH CANES.
AND SO WE REALLY NEED A CENTER THAT ADDRESSES OUR NEEDS AND SENIORS.
UM, AND I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THAT, BUT I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE IT.
IT'S REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT TO THIS COMMUNITY.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK ME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YES.
MA'AM COULD YOU MAKE SURE THAT TONY ROGERS GETS YOUR LIST AND THAT WAY HE'LL GET IT TO US? ABSOLUTELY.

A LOT OF OUR HEART, WE HAVE, THERE ARE PASSIONATE.
IF YOU'LL JUST COME TO COME TO THE PODIUM, IS SHE REGISTER TO SPEAK TO HER? BUT YES, GO AHEAD.
I HAVE MY PASSION FOR THE SENIOR CENTER IS BEYOND.
I MEAN, THESE PEOPLE ARE SO WONDERFUL AND SO INTO THE COMMUNITY AND SOMETIMES THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE FOR THEM TO GO.
SO WE APPRECIATE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN HELP US WITH BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETIMES, LIKE I SAID, A LOT OF THEM ARE WIDOWS OR WIDOWERS AND SOME OF THEM JUST ARE SINGLE AND THEY NEED A PLACE TO GO.
I WAS OVER AT MY DOCTOR'S OFFICE, UH, DR.
MENARD THAT STARTING OVER WHERE DR.
TURNER'S OFFICE WAS, I GOT TO TALKING TO HER AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A GREAT SENIOR CENTER.
DO YOU HAVE ANYBODY? DO YOU THINK WOULD LIKE TO JOIN? SHE THOUGHT WHEN SHE SAYS, YOU KNOW, PAT, SHE SAID, I'M SURE WE DO.
I SAID, I'LL BRING YOU SOME NEWSLETTERS OVER.
AND THEN IF YOU FEEL A NEED THAT SOME OF THESE PEOPLE WOULD USE, SHE SAID, I THINK I CAN, SHE'S GOING TO PASS THEM OUT TO SOME OF HER PATIENTS THAT SHE FEELS THAT THEY WOULD, YOU KNOW, GAIN SOMETHING BY COMING OVER.
SO THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UH, THAT
[01:20:01]
I'M TRYING TO BRING OUT, THAT WE DO APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO FOR US.SO I SURE HOPE THAT WE GET IT AND WE CAN PUSH IT SOONER THAN LATER.
SO WAS THERE ANYONE ELSE REGISTERED? OKAY.
SO, UH, WE'VE HEARD FROM A REGISTERED SPEAKERS.
SO NEXT THAT WOULD BE ANY COUNCIL DISCUSSION IN GLEN.
LET ME START BY FIRST, THANKING YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING OUT AND MAKING YOUR COMMENTS AND PROVIDING THAT LIST.
UM, I'VE HAD MANY, MANY DISCUSSIONS OVER PAST YEARS ABOUT THE NEEDS OF THE SENIOR CENTER AND I'VE HUNG PLENTY OF THOSE CHAIRS AND TABLES MYSELF.
UM, SO, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS, I THINK BASED ON THE MOST RECENT, UM, DESIGNS THAT WE'VE SEEN, I, YOU KNOW, THIS HAS BEEN A PROJECT THAT I HAVE BEEN VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT FOR A LOT OF YEARS.
AND, UH, I, I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
I THINK WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY CREATE SOME GREAT SPACE IN HUBER HEIGHTS AND THE SENIOR CENTER AND THE LIBRARY AND SOME NICE GREEN PARK SPACE BEING RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
SO WE'LL, WE'LL ALL BE LOOKING VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS.
AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO DISCUSSIONS WHEN WE MOVED TO THAT BUILDING THE SENIOR CENTER DESIGNED AT THE SENIOR CENTER PHASE.
SO THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR COMING OUT.
SO WHEN I WAS TALKING TO THE LADY FROM THE SENIOR CENTER WITH PRIOR TO THE MEETING, THEY, I WANTED TO ASK BRIAN, IF MAYBE SARAH WILLIAMS COULD HELP GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT THEIR ACTIVITIES, WE'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PUT FORWARD, WHATEVER INFORMATION COMES, OUR WAY THAT WE CAN SUPPORT THEIR FACILITY.
MA'AM ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS? I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, BUT HE LOOKS SO YOUNG.
I AM SURPRISED I JUST TURNED 50.
I STARTED GETTING MY MAILBOX IS FULL OF ARP STUFF NOW.
WE APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU DO FOR, FOR THE SENIOR COMMUNITY AND, AND YOUR WORK IN THE, IN THAT BUILDING.
WE KNOW YOU'VE DONE A LOT WITH, WITH THE LIT WITH LITTLE, SO WE, WE DO, WE DO APPRECIATE THAT AND WE HOPE TO CHANGE THAT, TO SEE THEM AT THE VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION.

SO FRIDAY NIGHT, THE NINTH BINGO BASH, BUT IT'S GOING TO COST YOU $10.
EVERYBODY ELSE IS FREE IN FREE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? YES.
THIS VOTE IS IN REGARDS TO THE APARTMENT AND DEVELOPMENT.
UM, I'D BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T POINT OUT THAT, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO HAVE HAD A VISION OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS AND SEEING THIS COME TO REALITY IS PRETTY SPECIAL, UM, TO SPEAK TO THE DEVELOPER FOR JUST A MOMENT WITHOUT AN END-USER THAT WAS WILLING TO INVEST $40 MILLION IN THIS PROJECT, IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN.
AND I THINK YOU WOULD AGREE THAT WITHOUT BRIAN, CHAD KOSKI AT THE HELM, YOU GUYS COULDN'T HAVE WORKED OUT THE DETAILS THAT YOU DID.
AND UH, THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL INCLUDE A SENIOR CENTER, UM, A CITY HALL OF SOME TYPE AND X, AND IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL, UH, SOMETHING THAT HAD EXISTED FOR DECADES AND PROBABLY WAS ONE OF THE MOST DETERIORATED SHOPPING CENTERS IN THE CITY, UM, TO SEE IT HAVE LIFE BREATHED BACK INTO IT IS, IS PRETTY AMAZING.
SO, UM, I APPRECIATE, UH, THE FOLKS THAT HAVE HUNG IN THERE, UH, HAD THE VISION AND APPLIED THE EFFORT.
SO, UM, I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER BEING PART OF THIS VOTE TONIGHT.

MS. BAKER.MOTION TO WAVE CARRIES EIGHT TO ZERO X.

UM, WITH THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS, IS IT YOUR INTENTION? THE DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL IS TO HIRE THEM AS SOON AS PERSONNEL IS ABLE TO FILL THOSE POSITIONS, AS SOON AS THEY MEET ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS THAT, UM, THAT ARE MANDATED.
YES, WE WILL BE HIRING THOSE INDIVIDUALS.
AND, UH, WITH THE MEETING THAT WE HAD, UM, UH, COUNCILMAN CAMPBELL, MYSELF, UH, YOU ALONG WITH STAFF, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR MEETING WITH US.
UH, WAS IT THE UNDERSTANDING DURING THAT MEETING THAT, UH, THE CLOSER, THE QUICKEST POSSIBLE TIME WOULD PROBABLY BE DECEMBER? YES, SIR.
AND THAT WAS DUE TO THE CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENTS AND THE FIREFIGHTERS AS WELL AS THE PERSONNEL MANUAL, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
UM, THAT WAS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING OF THAT METERING MAYOR AND, UH, BUT SOMETHING I DID FIND OUT AFTER THE MEETING, IF I MAY SURE.
COUNCILMAN CAMPBELL, UH, IN RESEARCHING THAT INFORMATION, UM, I FOUND OUT AFTER THE MEETING, THROUGH READING THE CONTRACT WITH THE FIREFIGHTERS AND THE FIRE UNION, AND THAT THERE'S NOTHING IN THE CONTRACT, UH, FOR HIRING A FIREFIGHTERS.
AND I DID NOT KNOW THAT AT THE MEETING THAT MAKES THE REQUIREMENT FOR HIRING FIREFIGHTERS SOLELY IN THE AREA OF THE PERSONNEL MANUAL.
AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE PERSONNEL MANUAL IS THE POLICY OF HUBER HEIGHTS, CITY COUNCIL.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE UP TO US IF WE'RE GOING TO HIRE THOSE ADDITIONAL FIREFIGHTERS, UH, SOONER, AS OPPOSED TO LATER AND SOONER IS GOING TO BE APPARENTLY IN DECEMBER.
AND I JUST WANTED TO PASS IT ALONG.
I DID NOT SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH YOU SINCE THEN, BUT I WANTED TO SHARE THAT TO YOU TONIGHT AFTER THE PASSAGE.

IT WAS THE RECOMMENDATION AT THE WORK SESSION THAT THIS ITEM BE ADOPTED.
IS THERE A MOTION NANCY THERE A SECOND GLENN, SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION CLINICALLY? YEAH.
I JUST THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE TO SAY I'M ABSOLUTELY IN SUPPORT OF THIS AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO HOPEFULLY HAVING A MEETING WITH THE SCHOOLS SOON TO SEE EXACTLY WHERE THEY STAND ON THIS SITUATION, IF THEY NEED MORE OR, YOU KNOW, OR NOT, AND WHERE WE CAN HELP OUT THERE.
I THINK THIS IS A GREAT ADDITIONAL START, BUT, UH, I THINK THERE MAY BE A NEED FROM WARREN AND I LOOK FORWARD TO FINDING THAT OUT WITH ME.
UM, YEAH, AGAIN, UH, MY OBJECTION STILL STANDS ON THE PASSING THIS ITEM AS THE CURRENT MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING, UH, IS AN EFFECT AND TALKED OVER 15 TO 2022.
UM, IT IS IN MY OPINION THAT WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO ENACT A JOINT MEETING BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE SCHOOL.
UM, IT IS IN MY OPINION, FURTHER THAT I BELIEVE WE NEED MORE THAN THE RESOURCE OFFICERS, UH, AVAILABLE.
UM, AND, UH, THIS HAS BEEN, UM, AGREED TO, TO, UH, WITH A JOINT MEETING REQUEST BY THE BOARD PRESIDENT.
UH, IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL PARTIES AGREE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A MEETING.
WE JUST HAVEN'T HAD A MEETING, UH, FOR SEVERAL, SEVERAL YEARS NOW, UM, REGARDING SEVERAL TOPICS, INCLUDING THIS ONE AT HAND.
UM, SO IT IS MY HOPE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO,
[01:35:01]
UH, TO PASS THIS OFF, UM, TO GET, UH, SOME ADDITIONAL RESEARCH ON THE PREVIOUS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING, UM, THE FINANCIAL ASSETS OF THE SCHOOLS, UH, AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO, UH, TO INCREASE THAT NUMBER, UM, FOR THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF ALL THE STUDENTS, UH, INVOLVED IN OUR COMMUNITY.I THINK I JUST NEED TO ALSO POINT OUT THAT, UM, MR. ROGERS DID WORK DILIGENTLY TRYING TO GET PREVIOUS JOINT MEETINGS TO SCHOOL BOARD SCHEDULED.
UM, I DON'T THINK THAT WAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH, UM, WITH ANYONE IN THIS COUNCIL AND QUITE FRANKLY, I DON'T THINK ANY OF THESE WITH ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS EITHER.
I THINK IT WAS, UH, UH, I THINK WHAT HAPPENED WAS THE, UM, THE PREVIOUS SUPERINTENDENT.
SO I JUST, UM, FROM A SCHEDULING PERSPECTIVE, I THINK THAT'S WHERE THAT, UH, I THINK THAT'S WHERE THAT LIES BECAUSE I KNOW EVERYBODY HERE WAS INTERESTED IN THE MEETING.
I KNOW EVERYBODY ON THE BOARD WAS INTERESTED IN THE MEETING AND MR. ROGERS TRIED TO SCHEDULE IT.
AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, IT JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN WITH THE PREVIOUS SUPERINTENDENT.
UH, JUST TO, UM, CONTINUE THAT CONVERSATION.
UH, I DO UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THE CLERK'S, UH, UM, ATTEMPT TO SCHEDULE A MEETING, UH, DURING THE PREVIOUS SUPERINTENDENTS ERA.
UM, I WILL STATE THAT, UM, I HAVE INITIATED EMAIL TRAFFIC AS E UM, AS EARLY AS, UM, I BELIEVE FEBRUARY, MARCH OF THIS YEAR WHEN THERE WAS AN INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT, UM, TO GET THIS BUSINESS IN FRONT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION WHO SETS THE POLICY AS THE SUPERINTENDENT AND NEXT TO POLICY.
UM, SO IT WAS MY HOPE THAT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION WOULD HAVE MOVED ON THAT IT WAS SUPPORTED BY THE PRESIDENT AT THAT TIME.
AND I BELIEVE IT'S STILL SUPPORTED BY THE PRESIDENT AT THIS TIME.
UM, AND I BELIEVE IN THE CLERK'S EFFORTS AT THAT TIME, UH, HE DID PUT YOU ON THAT EMAIL MIRROR, UH, LEFT THE BOARD PRESIDENT OFF SO WE COULD ESTIMATE INTERNAL DISCUSSION.
UM, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF MR. UNIX, AS HE HAS BEEN IN THE DISTRICT FOR, UH, UM, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, UH, AT LEAST A MONTH AND A HALF, TWO MONTHS NOW, BUT SIX JULY 1ST WHEN HE WAS AFFECTED.
UM, AND, AND I BELIEVE HE STARTED THERE A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF TIME.
UH, HE WAS AT A COUPLE OF THE EVENTS EVEN BEFORE HE WAS OFFICIALLY APPROVED.
SO, UM, IT IS MY HOPE THAT WE CAN DO THIS PRETTY QUICKLY.
I MEAN, WE, UH, WE SCHEDULED A JOINT MEETING WITH THE CDC COMMISSION, UH, PRETTY QUICK, UH, I THINK WE CAN DO THIS EVEN FASTER.
UM, AND I, UH, I KNOW THERE'S A, AN ALREADY ESTABLISHED AGENDA, AT LEAST A REQUEST THAT I'VE SUBMITTED, UH, FROM SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO BRING THAT BACK UP.
I'M WANTING TO SAY THERE WAS ABOUT FIVE OR SIX AGENDA ITEMS ON THERE, UH, THAT I BELIEVE, UH, WARRANTS DISCUSSION.
I DO REMEMBER FROM THE ONE MEETING THAT WE'VE HAD, THEY, THE BOARD AT THAT TIME WITH A VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY SPECIFIC THAT, UH, THE AGENDA BE, UM, COMPLETE AND THAT NOTHING BE AMENDED OR ADDED TO THE AGENDA.
THEY HAVE A VERY, UM, WE ALL SHOULD VERY STRICT GUIDELINES ON WHAT THEY DISCUSS.
SO, UM, BUT YES, I, I THINK, I THINK THAT MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE MUCH SOONER THAN LATER.
I HOPE THAT, UH, EVEN THOUGH RICHARD'S VISITED SOMETHING YEARS AGO, I HOPE THAT WE GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SOME FEEDBACK INTO WHATEVER AGENDA ITEMS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO, TO HAVE ADDRESS.

IN EXCESS ITEM 11 H ADAM WE'LL HAVE AN AGE, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO SOLICIT, ADVERTISE AND RECEIVE BIDS FROM QUAL QUALIFIED FIRMS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF BUS SHELTERS AT FOUR DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AT THE VERSE THREE, HE SELLS SEASHELLS.I THINK IT'S THAT COLD COMMENTS.
UH, THIS IS TO PLACE A FOUR SHELTERS IN THE CITY.
TWO OF WHICH WILL BE LOCATED, UH, ON BRANT PIKE, UH, DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE NEW LIBRARY.
UH, THIS PROGRAM IS BEING FUNDED BY A GRANT THROUGH THE RTA, UH, AND RTA WILL BE PROVIDING 80% REIMBURSEMENT OF THE $90,000 COST OF THIS PROJECT WORK SESSION RECOMMENDATION WAS TO ADOPT NANCY TO ADAPT.
IS THERE A SECOND, DON? OH, WELL WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE BUS SHELTERS? THAT'S CORRECT.
UM, I NOTICED WITH SOME OF THE OTHER SHELTERS, IT LOOKS LIKE ANY WAY THAT THERE ARE SOME SORT OF, UH, SOLAR PANELS OR SMALL SOLAR PANELS ON, ON SOME OF THEM, BUT I'VE NEVER ONCE SEEN ANY OLD THING LIGHTING UP.
I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE USP IN THE ONE HAS TO GO IN THEM AND THEN THEY LIGHT UP EMOTIONS.
YES, I NEEDED, I WAS JUST WONDERING, I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE BUS SHELTERS, NOT NECESSARILY CUBA, BUT SOME HAVE THE BENCHES ALL THE WAY ACROSS.
WELL, OURS MAKE SURE THERE'S A SPACE FOR WHEELCHAIRS, ESPECIALLY ON BRAND PIKE.
CAUSE THERE'S A NUMBER OF RESIDENTS THAT, UM, SOME OF THOSE APARTMENTS THAT ARE DISABLED THAT I SEE TAKING BUSES.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE SHELTER.
SO THE BENCHES NOT GO ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SHOULDER.
WELL, THE, EXCUSE ME, IF I MAY SPEAK, UH, BRIAN, I THINK THE MOST RECENT ONES DO HAVE JUST A PARTIAL FEET AND THEN THEY CAN WHEEL THERE.
I THINK THOSE ARE THE MOST RECENT DESIGNS AND I'LL CONFIRM THAT WITH THE, UH, ENGINEER.
SO NOW I'M ALSO TO, WE HAVE, WE HAVE A FIRST AND SECOND, ANY, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE BUS SHELTERS? OKAY.
AND MOTION CARRIES EIGHT TO ZERO.
[ A Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Prepare And Submit An Application To Participate In The Ohio Public Works Commission State Capital Improvement And/Or Local Transportation Improvement Program(s) And To Execute Contracts As Required For The Fishburg Road Widening Project. (first reading)]
AND NEXT UP IS ITEM 11.I ITEM 11, I, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO PREMIER PREPARE AND SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE OHIO PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSION, STATE CAPITOL IMPROVEMENT AND OR LOCAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS AND TO EXECUTE CONTRACTS AS REQUIRED FOR THE FISHBURG ROAD WIDENING PROJECT AT THE FIRST DREAM.
THIS, UH, LEGISLATION AUTHORIZES THE APPLICATION OF A GRANT, UH, WHICH WILL HELP SUPPORT THE WIDENING OF FISHBERG ROAD IN A LOCATION WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY BOTTLED NECKED DUE TO IMPROVEMENTS ON BOTH THE EAST AND WEST SIDE OF THIS SEGMENT.
IT WAS THE RECOMMENDATION AT THE WORK SESSION THAT DECIDED TO BE ADOPTED AS IT WAS MARK MOTION TO ADOPT.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION AT, THANK YOU, MAYOR, UH, BRIAN, UH, THE TERM EXECUTE CONTRACTS IS IN THIS LEGISLATION.
UH, WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE AMOUNT? I KNOW THIS IS AN APPLICATION PROCESS.
WHAT'S THE AMOUNT, UH, EXPECTED FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT? UH, MY UNDERSTANDING IS, IS, IS THAT, UM, THIS IS WITH RESPECT FOR THE APPLICATION TO THIS PROGRAM.
UM, BUT I WILL PULL UP THE MATERIAL HERE, SIR.
THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT IN THE ENGINEERS ESTIMATE.
I DO NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE.
AND WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW, UM, OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD, APPROXIMATELY WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THIS APPLICATION, UH, WOULD BE PAID FOR? IS IT A PERCENTAGE OR IS IT UP TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT? UH, IT DEPENDS ON THE PARTICULAR APPLICATION.
UH, I'D HAVE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION AGAIN WITH THE ENGINEER TO DETERMINE WHAT THE
[01:45:01]
SPECIFIC VALUE WAS.I KNOW THAT HE HAD PROVIDED SOME OF THAT COMMENTARY IN THE WORK SESSION WHEN HE RES HERE BRIEFING COUNSEL ON THAT MATTER LAST WEEK.
UH, MAYOR, THIS SAYS EXECUTING CONTRACTS FOR MONEY.
WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH WE'RE GOING TO BE EXECUTING AND THAT'S SOLELY UP TO THE DISCRETION AFTER WE PASS THIS TO THE CITY MANAGER AND I'M OPPOSED TO THE TERM EXECUTE.
EXCUSE ME, PULL UP THE, UH, THE AGENDA FOR THE WORK SESSION AND SAY IF IT WAS NOTED THERE.
PULLING THAT INFORMATION TO PRAY.
CAUSE I THINK MY HANDS BACK HERE, I THINK IT MIGHT BE IN THE MINUTES THAT I SENT OUT FOR AUGUST.
I JUST CAN'T PULL THAT UP ON THIS RECORDING SCREEN CODE RED BUSH SHELTER.
THERE'S A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT AND THE MINUTES, BUT THERE IS NOT A MONETARY VALUE IN THE MINUTES FROM THAT MEETING.
AND, UH, I WOULD REFER TO, UM, SECTION TWO THAT I THINK WHAT EXECUTION IS REFERRING TO IS THE CITY MANAGER IS FURTHER AUTHORIZED TO ENTER INTO ANY AGREEMENTS AS MAY BE NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE WITH A HIGHER PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSION OPWC TO OBTAIN THIS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE FISHBURG ROAD WIDENING PROJECT.
SO THE EXECUTION OF CONTRACTS OR AGREEMENTS, UM, IS IN REFERENCE TO THE GRANT APPLICATION IS MY UNDERSTANDING, CORRECT.
THIS ISN'T FOR THOSE, THIS IS NOT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.
THIS IS FOR THE, UM, FOR THE APPLICATION FOR THE GRANT ITSELF.
AND HOW WOULD I KNOW THAT BY READING LEGISLATION, TONY, GO AHEAD AND RE WHERE'D YOU GET THAT WHEN YOU READ THAT PLEASE, TO SECTION TWO IN THE LEGISLATION, SECTION TWO.
IF YOU WANTED TO CONSIDER A CHANGE, MAYBE IT WOULD JUST BE, UH, AND THE TITLE CHANGING, UM, EXECUTE CONTRACTS TO EXECUTE AGREEMENTS.
UM, SO THE LANGUAGE MIRRORS THAT IN SECTION TWO, UM, FOR, UH, THIS GRANT APPLICATION, UH, AND I'M FOR THE ROAD WIDENING PROJECT, UM, I JUST UNDERSTOOD THAT TO BE, UH, EXECUTE, MAYBE IT'S ME.
I, THE WORD EXECUTE KIND OF BRINGS IT BACK.
YOU KNOW, I, I GET THE JITTERS, MAYBE SOME CITY COUNCIL POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER, BUT THAT'S WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM.
UM, OH, HOW ABOUT SECTION FIVE, TONY? UH, AT THE END, IT SAYS WITHIN THE CORPORATE, UH, BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS AND FURTHER COMMITS TO THOSE COSTS, EXCEEDING THE ESTIMATE AND WHICH THEREFORE EXCEED THE GRANT AMOUNT.
SO THAT'S A REQUIREMENT OF THE OPWC SO THAT IF THE GRANT IS AWARDED, THAT THE CITY AGREES THAT IT WILL PAY THE BALANCE.
SO IN OTHER WORDS, IF THE PROJECT IS, AND I'M JUST MAKING THIS THIS UP FOR THE POINT OF EXAMPLE, BUT IF THE PROJECT IS A MILLION DOLLARS AND WE KNOW GOING IN THAT THE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE IS A MILLION DOLLARS AND THE OPWC GRANT IS $200,000 GRANT IN A $200,000 LOAN.
AT THE TIME WE APPLY, WE HAVE TO AGREE THAT WE ARE GOING TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE SO THAT THE MONEY COMES TO US AND IS NOT DISTRIBUTED TO ANOTHER APPLICANT WHO MIGHT SCORE CLOSE TO WHAT WE'RE SCORING.
AND, AND I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT.
I MEAN, I REALLY DON'T BUY, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, JUST KIND OF THE WAY I READ THIS AND UNDERSTAND THIS.
UM, WE HAVEN'T PUT IT OUT FOR BID.
UH, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE AMOUNT IS.
I KNOW WHAT THE COST SHARING FOR THE GRANT IS GOING TO BE FROM THE ORGANIZATION.
AND I'M WRITING A BLANK CHECK.
I'M GOING TO AGREE TO WRITE A BLANK CHECK FOR SOMETHING THAT I DON'T KNOW, THE AMOUNT THEY'RE GOING TO REIMBURSE THIS.
[01:50:01]
I DON'T KNOW THE COST.AND AGAIN, THAT, THAT WORD EXECUTE, I'M HAVING A REAL PROBLEM WITH.
SO IN THAT INSTANCE, PERHAPS, MAYBE COUNSEL WOULD BE AMIABLE TO AMEND THE LEGISLATION, TO STRIKE THOSE PROVISIONS, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND JUST TO MAKE THE APPLICATION.
AND THAT IF AWARDED THAT WE WILL COME BACK AND THEN RECEIVE COUNCIL PERMISSION TO ACCEPT THE GRANT.
AS LONG AS IT COMES BACK TO COUNCIL, I'D BE IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT WITH THAT.
UH, JUST SO THAT I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE AMOUNT OF VOTING FOR, UH, I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH THAT.
AND YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND THE, UH, WE COULD HAVE MR. CAMPBELL AND MS. BAKER WITHDRAWAL THEIR FIRST AND SECOND ON IT.
DRAWN LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND MOTION TO AMEND.
IS THERE A SECOND MARK SECOND.
SO WE'RE AMENDING THE LEGISLATION TO TAKE OUT EXECUTING THE CONTRACTS.
THEN THIS IS JUST FOR THE MAKING THE APPLICATION TO THE GRANT, RICHARD, JUST TO CONFIRM WE'RE TAKING OUT THE EXECUTE AND THE TITLE AND IN SECTION EIGHT AS WELL.
ANY REFERENCE TO THE AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE THE DOCUMENTS WOULD BE REMOVED FROM IS THE PROPOSAL THAT I'M SUGGESTING.
UH, AND THEN THAT CA THAT STAFF JUST HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE THE APPLICATION AND THEN WE'LL RETURN WITH, UH, AN ACCEPTANCE.
SO, SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND THE SECOND DISCUSSION, NANCY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THIS MIGHT HAVE SIMPLY BEEN A CUT AND PASTE SITUATION BECAUSE WHEN YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE WORK SESSION, IT JUST TALKS ABOUT SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION THAT DOESN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT EXECUTING.
SO YEAH, REGARDLESS, I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN AND I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CONCERN IS HEARD, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I WANT TO BE CONSCIENTIOUS OF THE TIMELINES AND THE REQUIREMENTS TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATION ON TIME, IF NEEDED IS, WELL, THIS TIMING WORK THAT WILL GET THE STUDY BACK ABOUT THE WATERLINES, BECAUSE FOR DOING THIS WORK.
AND THAT MIGHT, THAT'S KIND OF IN THE AREA WHERE THERE'S BREAKS THAT WE WOULD BE REPLACING WATER LINES BY WE'RE ON, FISHBURG WHY WE'RE DOING THIS PROJECT.
UH, TYPICALLY OPWC, IF I'M RECALLING THE TIMELINES CORRECTLY, OPWC WOULD NORMALLY BE AWARDED.
GOSH, I WANT TO SAY LIKE FIVE TO SIX WEEKS FROM NOW.
UM, I SHOULDN'T SAY THAT, UM, THERE'S A TIGHT TIME WINDOW BECAUSE THE AWARD TYPICALLY HAPPENS AT THE UPCOMING.
SO IT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE NEXT, AND THEN THERE'S A LIMITED TIME TO SPEND, UH, AND THEN THERE'S, SO IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE INFORMATION, SO I'M, I'M SORRY, I'M TALKING OUT LOUD TO GET THE TIMETABLES, CORRECT.
UM, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT WE MIGHT HAVE THE INFORMATION BACK IN TIME THAT WE COULD ACCOMMODATE IF THERE WERE ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN THAT STUDY, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE UNTIL THE ACTUAL PROCESS RUNS ITS COURSE, AND WE GET THE INFORMATION BACK FROM THE STUDY, BUT IT MAY BE POSSIBLE.
I WOULD JUST HATE FOR US TO DO ALL THIS WORK AND THEN THE WATER LINE REALLY NEEDS REPLACED ON FISH FIRST SINCE IT'S IN THAT GENERAL FACILITY.
UM, SO I'D REALLY KIND OF LIKED TO LOOK AT THAT.
AND IF FITCHBURG GETS ON THE LIST, YOU GET REPLACED HERE SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD, MAYBE THEY GET MOVED UP FOR THIS WORK TO ALL BE DONE AT THE SAME TIME.
YOU JUST MENTIONED SOMETHING IT'S THIS TIME SENSITIVE.
THAT'S WHY I ASKED THAT THE LEGISLATION BE STRUCK WITH THE AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE, BUT THAT ALL OF THE PROVISIONS REMAINED SO THAT WE CAN MAKE THE APPLICATION.
UM, WOULD IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IF WE PUT TO APPLY AND ACCEPT? WELL, I THINK THAT THAT IS TO MR. LION'S CONCERN, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE GOING TO AUTHORIZE ME TO ACCEPT, YOU'RE EFFECTIVELY AUTHORIZING ME TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT WHEN THEY COME IN OR NOT TO COME IN, BUT YOU WOULD BE AUTHORIZING ME TO ACCEPT THE AGREEMENT.
SO THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS WE JUST NEED TO MAKE THE APPLICATION IN A TIMELY MANNER.
IT'S NOT UNCOMMON BASED ON DEADLINES AND TIMELINES FOR COUNCIL MEETINGS TO BE OFFSET.
THOSE TYPICALLY AREN'T ISSUES WHEN DEALING WITH THESE TYPES OF PROGRAMS, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED ON TIME.
THAT'S THE DISCUSSION I REMEMBER AT THE WORK SESSION AND WE HAD THAT DISCUSSION ABOUT RUSSELL'S HERE AND HOW WE THINK WE'VE VETTED THIS PROCESS AND THE TIMEFRAME.
AND, UH, AND HE'S CONCERNED ABOUT THE WATER LINES.
I MEAN, I THINK WE HAD ALL THAT DISCUSSION AND THERE WAS NO OBJECTIONS TO MOVING US ON TO TONIGHT'S MEETING, SO,
[01:55:01]
OKAY.SO WE'VE GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY, SO THIS IS THE MOTION TO AMEND, CORRECT? YEP.
MR. LYONS MOTION TO MEN CARRIES EIGHT TO ZERO MARK MOTION TO ADOPT.
IS THERE A SECOND? NANCY? I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ANY DISCUSSION ON ADOPTION, MR. WEBB? YES.
