UM, THREE A ITEMS. CITY

[ City Manager Report]

BRIAN.

UH, THANK YOU MA'AM.

COUPLE OF ITEMS FOR, UH, COUNSEL IN THE COMMUNITY THIS EVENING.

UH, FIRST OF ALL, THE, UH, BOWSER MOURNER SOIL COMPOSITION REPORT, UH, THAT, UH, COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY COMMISSIONED IS COMPLETE.

UH, A SUMMARY OF THE REPORT AS WELL AS THE FULL REPORT HAD BEEN UPLOADED TO THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT'S HOMEPAGE ON, UH, THE CITY'S WEBSITE.

UH, AS STATED IN THE SUMMARY REPORT, THE SOIL SAMPLES COLLECTED FROM THE, UH, FIVE BORINGS, UH, ARE REPRESENTATIVE TO THE CLASSIFICATIONS PROVIDED IN THE SOIL SURVEY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY, OHIO FROM THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE AT THE BORING LOCATIONS.

UH, NEXT I WANT TO MAKE SURE, UH, THAT, UH, WE FOLLOW UP ON A COUNCIL REQUEST.

UH, AND THAT WAS, UH, PREVIOUSLY STAFFED, WAS ASKED TO REVIEW, UH, THE HUBER HEIGHTS POLICE DIVISION OVERTIME THROUGH MAY 15, WHICH REPRESENTS 40% OF THE YEAR.

THE DIVISION HAD EXPENDED APPROXIMATELY 68% OF ITS INITIAL OVERTIME BUDGET.

A REVIEW OF THE DATA AS FAR BACK TO 2013 PRODUCED THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.

OUR CURRENT OVERTIME EXPENSE IS $216,716.

THE HIGHEST OVERTIME EXPENSE INCURRED IN THAT TIME PERIOD WAS $424,024, AND THAT WAS IN 2016.

THE LOWEST OVERTIME EXPENSE INCURRED WAS $281,899.

AND THAT WAS IN 2019.

AND OUR AVERAGE ANNUAL OVERTIME EXPENSE IS $340,942.

UH, NEXT, THE CITY, UH, HAS CEASED TAKING RESERVATIONS AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER EFFECTIVE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5TH, IN ADVANCE OF FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN ON OCTOBER 2ND, BEGINNING NEXT WEEK, THE CITY WILL BEGIN CONTACTING ALL USERS WITH EXISTING RESERVATIONS BETWEEN SEPTEMBER FIVE AND DECEMBER 35TH, DECEMBER 31ST TO NOTIFY THEM OF OUR RE RENOVATION SCHEDULE.

ALL IMPACTED USERS WILL BE REFUNDED THEIR DEPOSITS AND WHERE FEASIBLE PROVIDED OTHER CITY SPACE AT NO CHARGE FOR THEIR USE.

UH, LAST I'D LIKE TO CONFIRM FOR, UH, COUNCIL IN THE COMMUNITY THAT THE SALE OF 17.6 ACRES OF THE LAYMAN FARM YESTERDAY, UH, NETTED PROCEEDS TO THE CITY IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,085,000.

THIS SALE, ALONG WITH THE PENDING SALE OF 1.6 ACRES TO SHEETS FOR THE AMOUNT OF 1.5 MILLION REPRESENTS A RETURN OF 95% OF THE CITY'S INITIAL INVESTMENT.

UH, IN ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY.

THE CITY'S, UH, UH, THE CITY INITIALLY PURCHASED, UH, 52 ACRES OF PROPERTY, AND THE TWO SALES NOTED ABOVE REPRESENT JUST 37% OF THE PROPERTY ACQUIRED BY THE CITY.

SO, UH, TO PUT ANOTHER WAY, WE'VE SOLD 37% OF THE LAND AND MADE 95% OF OUR MONEY BACK.

UH, THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR

[00:05:01]

ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING FROM MR. KOWSKI? MR. LINES? THANK YOU, BRIAN.

UM, THANK YOU FOR THE DETAIL.

DID YOU SAY 216,000 HAS BEEN USED IN THE BUDGET SO FAR THIS YEAR? UH, THAT IS CORRECT.

FOR OVERTIME? THAT IS CORRECT.

AND THAT'S 68% OF THE OVERTIME BUDGET.

DID YOU HAVE THAT BROKEN DOWN OR DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN, UH, THE BREAKDOWN IN THE NUMBERS FOR MANDATORY VERSUS, UH, VOLUNTARY OVERTIME? UH, I'LL BE GETTING MORE DETAILED BRIEFING FROM, UH, CHIEF LEER TOMORROW, AND THEN I'LL BE PUTTING THAT TOGETHER IN A MORE ADDITIONAL REPORT.

BUT I DID WANNA SHARE WITH COUNSEL THE INFORMATION THAT WE DID HAVE, UH, TODAY.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

AND THE SECOND QUESTION I HAD, UH, AT PREVIOUS MEETING, YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT STAFF WAS COLLECTING INFORMATION ABOUT, UM, A WAY FORWARD AND POSSIBLY A RECOMMENDATION LATER THIS MONTH FOR, UM, A, UH, DUE TO THE, UH, RENEWAL THAT HAD, UH, PREVIOUSLY WENT DOWN THIS MONTH, I DIDN'T SEE THAT ON THE SCHEDULE, SO I'M GUESSING ON THE AGENDA.

SO I'M GUESSING STAFF'S NOT GONNA HAVE THAT UNTIL NEXT MONTH.

UH, THERE'S A POLICY DISCUSSION THAT WE'RE GONNA NEED TO HAVE AT THE COUNCIL LEVEL, BUT WE ARE STILL, UH, DISCUSSING THAT AT THE STAFF LEVEL.

UH, AND THAT'S GONNA BE A MATTER THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO COMMUNICATE WITH, UH, WITH COUNSEL ON ABOUT THAT MATTER MOVING FORWARD.

OKAY.

THANK YOU, BRIAN.

THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR.

THANK YOU, MR. LIONS.

UM, ITEM THREE

[ 2024 BWC Group Retrospective Rating Program]

BRIAN, UH, THANK YOU, MA'AM.

UH, THE CITY IS REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN, UH, BUREAU WORKERS OF COMPENSATION COVERAGE, UH, THROUGH THE STATE.

UH, THERE ARE TWO, UH, SPECIFIC PROGRAMS, UH, THAT, UH, THAT WE CAN PARTICIPATE IN.

ONE IS CALLED THE EXPERIENCE RATING PROGRAM, AND THEN THE SECOND IS THE RETROSPECT, UH, GRADING PROGRAM, RATING PROGRAM, UH, IN ONE, WE RECEIVED THE DISCOUNT ON FRONT, UH, IN THE OTHER WE RECEIVED THE DISCOUNT IN THE END BASED ON PERFORMANCE.

AND THAT IS THE RETRO, UH, RETROSPECTIVE, UM, PROGRAM.

AND IT IS BEING RECOMMENDED, UH, THAT, UH, COUNCIL AND THE CITY AUTHORIZE AND PARTICIPATE IN THE RETROSPECTIVE RATING PROGRAM TO MAXIMIZE OUR, UH, INCENTIVE RETURN, UH, THROUGH BWC.

WE WOULD ASK THAT COUNCIL ADOPT A CORRESPONDING LEGISLATION ON MONDAY, UH, FOR THIS MATTER.

ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS? MR. BUKOWSKI? OKAY.

THANKS BRIAN.

UM, 3D HUBER

[ Huber Heights YMCA - Sublease Assignment]

BRIAN, UH, THANK YOU.

UM, AS PART OF OUR AGREEMENT WITH THE Y M C A, UH, THEY HAVE, UH, CERTAIN, UH, RIGHTS TO SUBLEASE, UH, PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES.

IN PARTICULAR, THEY LEASE, UH, SUBLEASE SPACE TO, UH, KETTERING HEALTH NETWORK.

AND KETTERING HEALTH NETWORK OPERATES A DIALYSIS FACILITY OR DIALYSIS SERVICES, UH, THROUGH THAT, THAT LEASE.

UH, CURRENTLY, UH, THE PARTY THAT, UH, KETTERING SUBLEASES TO OPERATE THE DIALYSIS FACILITY, UH, IS TRANSITIONING THEIR PROVIDER FROM THE CURRENT PROVIDER, I BELIEVE IT'S, UH, BML, UH, TO, UH, OHIO STATE.

AND IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT, UH, THE CITY COUNCIL HAS A RESPONSIBILITY UNDER ITS MASTER LEASE, UH, WITH THE Y TO SIGN OFF ON ALL SUBLEASES AND SUB SUBLEASES.

AND IN THIS INSTANCE, WE WOULD ASK THAT CITY COUNCIL ADOPT LEGISLATION ON MONDAY, UH, APPROVING OF THE SUB SUBLEASE, UH, FOR KETTERING FROM BML TO OHIO STATE, UH, TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS AT DIALYSIS CENTER AT, UH, THE Y.

THANK YOU, BRIAN.

ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS FOR MR. KAKOWSKI? GREAT.

ITEM THREE E FIRE

[ Fire Division Staffing Update]

BRIAN, UH, THANK YOU, MA'AM.

UH, INCLUDED IN THE PACKET IS A SPREADSHEET, UH, HIGHLIGHTING THE CONDITION OF OUR CANDIDATES AT THE TIME THE PACKET WAS, UH, CREATED.

UH, I WOULD LIKE TO UPDATE COUNSEL TO INFORM THEM, UH, TO INFORM YOU, UH, THAT, UH, CANDIDATE NUMBER FOUR, UH, FROM THE CURRENT ELIGIBILITY LIST, HA HAS PASSED, UH, ALL OF THE APPROPRIATE, UH, TESTS IN ADVANCE, UH, AND WILL BE RECEIVING A CONDITIONAL OFFER FROM THE, UH, CITY, UH, LATER THIS WEEK.

GREAT.

ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS? OKAY.

GREAT.

ITEM THREE F

[ Ohio Police And Fire Pension Fund - Amendment - IAFF]

UH, THANK YOU, MA'AM.

UH, THE, UM, THE CITY, UH, THROUGH ITS, UH, CONTRACTUAL, UH, EXCUSE ME, COLLECTIVE BARGAINING EFFORTS, UH, WITH THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIREFIGHTERS, UH, NEGOTIATED A CHANGE IN THE PENSION PICKUP PROVISION.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT AWARE, THE CITY PICKS UP 1%, UH, OF EVERY EMPLOYEE'S RE UH, REQUIRED PENSION CONTRIBUTION.

UH, THROUGH OUR NEGOTIATIONS WITH I A FFF MEMBERSHIP, THEY ELECTED TO FORGO, UH, THE CITY PICKING UP THEIR 1% PENSION IN EXCHANGE FOR A 0.75% WAGE INCREASE.

UH, WHILE WE, UH, DID RATIFY THE CONTRACT BY BOTH PARTIES, UH, THERE IS A REQUIREMENT WHICH WE WERE NOT AWARE OF, UH, FOR COUNSEL TO ADOPT LEGISLATION RECOGNIZING THAT CHANGE, UH, TO NOTIFY THE OHIO, UM, UH, POLICE AND FIRE PENSION, UH, BOARD.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING, UH, COUNSEL TO DO WITH THIS PARTICULAR LEGISLATION.

WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU ADOPT THAT ON MONDAY

[00:15:01]

AND AGAIN, THAT IS A REQUIREMENT OF THE OHIO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE.

OKAY.

ANY QUESTIONS, MR. KOWSKI? MR. LYONS? THANK YOU.

UH, BRIAN, THE REQUIREMENT, IS THAT CONTRACTUAL WITH, UH, I A F F? YES.

WELL, THE RE THE REQUIREMENT TO ADOPT THIS LEGISLATION IS A REQUIREMENT OF THE OHIO, UH, THE OHIO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, UH, WHICH WE WERE NOTIFIED BY THE PENSION BOARD, UH, AND VALIDATED THROUGH, UH, LABOR COUNCIL.

BUT, UH, THE, UM, THE PENSION PICKUP IN EXCHANGE FOR THE WAGE WAS SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED WITH I A F F MEMBERS.

OKAY.

AND THE 1%, UM, REQUIREMENT FOR PENSION PICKUP, THAT'S IN THE CONTRACT AS WELL.

AND I'M TALKING ABOUT ORIGINALLY WE'RE PAYING 1% AND WE'RE SWAPPING THAT OUT FOR 0.75% ON THE, UH, WHAT IS IT, THE BASE SALARY, ADDITIONAL WAGE INCREASE.

SO WHAT I'M ASKING IS THAT ORIGINAL 1% FOR THE PENSION PICKUP IS IN THE CONTRACT VERSUS A STATE REQUIREMENT? THAT'S, THAT'S THE QUESTION.

OH, CORRECT.

YES.

SO THE 1% PENSION PICKUP IS A POLICY DECISION BY THE CITY, AND IT APPLIES TO ALL FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES AT THE CITY.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

MR. LINE.

ANYBODY, ANYTHING ELSE FROM MR. SAKOWSKI? OKAY, GREAT.

OKAY, ITEM THREE G, DISPOSAL OF

[ Disposal Of Surplus Property - Rose Music Center]

ROSE MUSIC CENTER.

BRIAN, UH, THANK YOU.

UH, UH, THE, UH, THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF LEGISLATION, UH, WOULD AUTHORIZE THE CITY, UH, TO DISPOSE OF THREE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT, UH, THAT WERE PURCHASED FOR USE, UH, AT THE, UH, AT THE ROSE.

TWO PIECES, UH, HAVE BEEN USED, BUT, UH, THIRD PIECE HAS NOT.

UH, AND, UH, M EMI, OUR OPERATIONS PARTNER, UH, HAS ASKED THAT WE SELL THAT EQUIPMENT TO THEM, UH, BECAUSE THEY CAN UTILIZE THAT AT ANOTHER FACILITY.

AND WE ARE ASKING COUNCIL TO APPROVE LEGISLATION ALLOWING US TO DO THAT.

UH, THE THREE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT ARE, UH, A USED SINK, A USED COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATOR, UH, AND A, UM, ORIGINALLY PURCHASED BUT NEVER USED, UH, ADA LIFT.

UH, WHEN WE WOULD LIKE TO SELL THOSE ITEMS AGAIN TO, UM, TO EMI FOR THEIR USE IN ANOTHER FACILITY.

SO WE CAN TAKE THOSE PROCEEDS AND REINVEST THEM, UH, AT THE ROSE, WE WOULD ASK THAT COUNCIL ADOPT LEGISLATION ON MONDAY TO THAT EFFECT.

ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS, MR. SIKOWSKI? I DO.

ANITA, WHAT KIND OF ADA LIFT IS, I MEAN, ARE WE TALKING HERE? UH, THIS IS A, UM, THIS PARTICULAR LIFT IS, IS EFFECTIVELY TO PROVIDE ACCESS FROM WHAT WOULD BE THE PIT FLOOR TO, UH, STAGE LEVEL, BUT THERE'S, UH, AN ACCESSIBILITY RAMP, UM, ON THE FACILITY THAT PRECLUDES US FROM HAVING TO USE THIS PARTICULAR LIFT, WHICH IS WHY IT'S SAT IN STORAGE SINCE WE'VE OPENED THE FACILITY.

SO, I MEAN, GOING BACK TO KIND OF THAT, ARE WE LOOKING TO DO THE ADULT CHANGING TA? THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

IS THIS LIKE A LIFT TO HELP SOMEBODY CHANGE OR, UM, ARE WE LOOKING TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS FOR THESE ADULT CHANGING TABLES AT THE ROSE? IS THAT SOME OF THE MONEY THAT CAN BE USED OR IN, IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE? NO, WE WOULD NOT U WE WOULD NOT LOOK TO PUT THESE PROCEEDS TOWARDS THAT EXPENSE.

UH, WE ARE WORKING WITH, UH, LEGAL COUNSEL, UH, AND THE PLANNER TO DRAFT THE APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION TO ADDRESS CHANGING TABLES IN SPECIFIC, IN NEW, UM, A NEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS AS WELL AS RENOVATIONS OF EXISTING PUBLIC BUILDINGS ONCE THEY EXCEED A CERTAIN THRESHOLD.

BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE, THE AMOUNT OF, UH, RETURN THAT WE WOULD RECEIVE ON THIS PARTICULAR, UH, SALE WOULD NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO COVER THE EXPENSE, SO EFFECTIVELY BUILD ONE ADDITIONAL RESTROOM TO ACCOMMODATE THIS.

SO.

OKAY.

UM, THIS WOULD BE A GENERAL REINVESTMENT IN THE FACILITY AS OPPOSED TO A SPECIFIC INVESTMENT TOWARDS, UH, THAT THE, UH, ADULT CHANGING TABLE.

OKAY, MRS. BURGE? NO, THAT'S FINE.

OKAY.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO.

THANK YOU, BRIAN.

OKAY.

ITEM THREE

[ 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan]

MR. BELL? UH, YES.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

UH, I HAVE BEFORE YOU AS I, UH, BRING TO YOU EVERY MAY, UM, THE, UM, THE FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

AND, UH, SO WHAT I HAVE, UH, DONE WORKING WITH BRIAN, WE'VE, UH, CONTACTED ALL THE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND ASKED THEM TO TAKE THE 23 TO 27 PLAN AND UPDATE THAT LOOK AT ANYTHING THAT, UH, DID NOT GET APPROVED IN THE 23 BUDGET THAT WAS IN THEIR C I P LAST YEAR.

UM, WE'RE TAKING OFF THAT YEAR AND THEN ADDING 2028.

SO IT'S A ROLLING FIVE YEAR PLAN.

AND SO I'VE ASKED THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY PUT ANY, ANYTHING FROM 23 INTO 24 25, AND THEN ADD, UM, 2028, ANY OF THEIR NEEDS, LOOKING OUT FIVE YEARS.

AND, UH, NOT AN EASY THING TO DO.

UH, SOME OF THEM OBVIOUSLY HAVE THINGS THAT THEY'VE, UH, PLANNED, UH, OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS AND, UH, AND COMING UP OVER THE NEXT THREE.

UH, BUT GOING OUT THOSE FINAL

[00:20:01]

SO THIS IS JUST A PLAN.

THIS IS NOT COMMITTING THE CITY AND THE COUNCIL TO ANY FINANCIAL EXPENSE AT THIS TIME.

AS I STATED IN THE, UM, YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS HAVE A NET FISCAL IMPACT.

IT'S, UH, NOT APPLICABLE.

UM, MANY OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE IN THIS PLAN WILL GET INCORPORATED INTO THE 2024 BUDGET THAT WE BEGIN WORKING ON, UH, AROUND AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER OF, UH, THIS FALL.

AND SO I WANTED TO BRING IT TO COUNSEL FOR, UH, FIRST READING AND, UH, NOT ASKING FOR THIS TO BE, UH, PASSED AT THE, UH, MEETING ON MONDAY.

UM, IT CAN HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE READINGS, UM, UH, PASS IT IN JUNE.

THE ONLY REQUIREMENT IS THAT IT, IT IS PART OF THE, UH, CHARTER.

SO THE CHARTER SAYS THAT WE MUST PASS THIS, UH, BEFORE WE PASS THE TAX BUDGET, AND I'LL BE BRINGING THE TAX BUDGET TO YOU IN JUNE BECAUSE THAT HAS TO BE APPROVED BEFORE JULY 15TH.

SO, UH, I'LL LIKELY BRING IT TO THE, MAYBE THE SECOND MEETING IN JUNE.

UM, SO THIS WOULD JUST HAVE TO BE APPROVED BEFORE THAT IS APPROVED.

AND, UH, AS I SAID, IT'S JUST, UH, IT'S JUST A PLAN.

UM, I, UM, WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND THAT IF ANY OF YOU, AFTER YOU HAVE VIEWED THE FIVE YEAR PLAN, UM, HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ADDITIONS, UH, OR DELETIONS, UH, PLEASE, UH, FUNNEL THOSE THROUGH BRIAN AND, UH, AND THEN HE CAN INFORM ME AS TO WHAT CHANGES TO MAKE BEFORE IT COMES BEFORE COUNSEL FOR THE NEXT READING, UH, THE, UH, FIRST MEETING IN JUNE.

THANK YOU, MR. BELL.

ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS FOR MR. BELL? DON, MR. WEB, JUST BRIEFLY, JIM, CAN YOU SPEAK TO, UH, THE, THE BIG NUMBERS JUMPS IN 2025? UM, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, FINDING PUBLIC WORKS, UM, 20 24, 20 25, AND INVERSELY POLICE AND FIRE GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

UM, OH, AND OF COURSE, UM, UNDER FINANCE, IT, IT'S, UM, EVEN THOUGH, UH, IT'S MY DEPARTMENT, UH, I, I PUT THE, UM, THE ITEMS SUCH AS, UM, YOU KNOW, OUR, UH, CR DAYTON PROPERTY RENOVATIONS IS IN HERE.

THE, UH, SENIOR CENTER GOVERNANCE CENTER IS IN HERE AT 8.4 MILLION, UH, RENOVATIONS TO CITY HALL POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE CURRENT SENIOR CENTER, UH, $3.6 MILLION.

SO THOSE ARE, UM, THINGS THAT AREN'T GOING TO BE COMING UP, UM, ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, BUT, UH, THOSE ARE SOME VERY LARGE, UH, EXPENSES.

THOSE THREE ALONE COME UP TO ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 15 MILLION, UH, FOR THOSE, UM, YOU ALSO MENTIONED, UH, POLICE, I THINK YOU SAID, UM, UH, I THINK THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE I SAW WAS, UH, FIRE DIVISION GOING FROM, UH, 3.7.

UM, LET'S SEE, 20, 24, I THINK THERE ARE, YES, THERE'S, UM, STATION 23 RENOVATIONS ARE, UH, BUDGETED.

UH, WELL, NOT BUDGETED, NO, THESE ARE JUST, UM, UM, UH, A PLAN FOR RIGHT NOW FOR 2024 RENOVATIONS TO, UH, STATION 23 AT, UH, CURRENT ESTIMATE IS 3.2 MILLION.

GOTCHA.

SO THAT IS, UH, THAT IS IN THERE.

VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER, UH, ITEMS IN THE BUDGET.

AND THEN, UM, ANOTHER LARGE ITEM, UM, IN THE, UM, FIRE BUDGET IS OUT IN 20 27, 870 $5,000 FOR A FIRE ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

SO AS WE GET CLOSER TO THAT YEAR, I'M SURE, UH, CHIEF NIESE WILL HAVE MORE INFORMATION FOR YOU, UM, AS WE GET CLOSER TO THAT YEAR.

UM, THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU.

ANYTHING ELSE? ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU, MR. ROME.

OKAY.

THREE I

[ Capital Lease - New Medic - Fire Division]

MR. BELL? YES.

UM, THE, UM, NEW MEDIC, WHICH WAS ORDERED BACK IN 2021, IS ABOUT TO BE DELIVERED, UH, THROUGH COVID SUPPLY PROBLEMS AND, AND SO FORTH.

UH, I'VE BEEN IN CONSTANT TOUCH WITH, UM, THE FIRE CHIEF AND HE SAID, UH, IT'S, UH, LOOKING LIKE IT'LL BE DELIVERED BY JULY ONE, POTENTIALLY, MAYBE EVEN, UM, UH, IN THE MONTH OF JUNE.

SO, UM, WHAT I DO IS I GO OUT AND CONTACT, UH, SEVEN OR EIGHT BANKS OR, OR FINANCING CORPORATIONS.

AND, UM, I HAVE A LIST THAT I GO TO.

UM, AND, UH, SOME YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE, SOME YOU MAY NOT.

UH, SOME ARE LOCAL BANKS, OTHERS ARE, UH, COMPANIES THAT HAVE CONTACTED ME.

AND I ALWAYS SAY, OKAY, I'VE GOT A FILE, I'LL PUT IN YOUR, UH, UH, CONTACT INFORMATION.

AND SO, UM, THEY DO NOT LIKE ME GOING OUT.

UH, THEY DON'T WANT TO GUARANTEE THEIR RATE TOO LONG.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT THIS RATE, I BELIEVE IS, UH, THE, IF YOU WOULD CALL IT THE WINNING RATE OR MY RECOMMENDED RATE OF, UH, 4.34%, UH, FINANCING FOR FIVE YEARS FOR THIS MEDIC IS FROM, UH, COGENT BANK.

AND, UM, I, UH, WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH COGENT BANK, SO I TALKED TO OUR BOND COUNCIL, UH, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO PUT TOGETHER ON OUR BEHALF THE, UH, THE MASTER LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT, UM, UH, IN THE COUNCIL PACKET TO VOTE ON, UM, UH, FOR

[00:25:01]

SO, UH, THAT WAS NOT READY, UH, FOR THIS MEETING, BUT I'M SURE IT WILL BE READY, UH, VERY SHORTLY AND IN YOUR PACKETS.

AND, UM, UH, COGENT BANK IS OUT OF, UM, ORLANDO, FLORIDA.

SO, UH, THEY, UM, I TALKED TO BOND COUNCIL ABOUT THEM, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEIR QUOTE WAS SO CLOSE TO THE OTHERS.

IF IT WAS GONNA TAKE A LOT OF WORK TO CHANGE THEIR MASTER RELEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT FROM WHAT WERE USED TO IN OHIO, UH, I WOULD NOT HAVE RECOMMENDED THEM.

BUT, UH, THEY SAID, NOPE.

UH, THE, UH, AGREEMENT THAT THEY HAVE, UM, IS VERY MUCH IN LINE WITH WHAT WE USE IN OHIO.

AND SO THEY THOUGHT, UH, TAKE NO MORE THAN ONE HOUR'S WORTH OF WORK FOR THEM TO, UM, TO GO BACK AND FORTH ON THE DIFFERENCES.

SO THAT'S WHY I AM RECOMMENDING, UH, COGENT BANK TO, UH, FINANCE, UH, FOR FIVE YEARS FOR THE, UH, MEDIC THAT, UH, SHOULD BE IN SERVICE HERE, UH, BY THE MONTH OF JULY.

OKAY.

ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS FOR MR. BELL? OKAY.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

ITEM THREE J CAPITAL

[ Capital Lease - Street Sweeper - Public Works Division]

MR. BELL? YES.

UH, THE, UH, STREET SWEEPER, WHICH, UH, WAS ANTICIPATED TO BE DELIVERED AROUND AUGUST, SEPTEMBER TIMEFRAME.

UM, GOT A CALL FROM MIKE SAYING, UH, IT ACTUALLY COULD BE HERE BEFORE THE MEDIC .

SO, UH, IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT THE TIMING WAS PERFECT BECAUSE I COULD CONTACT ALL THE FINANCING CORPORATIONS IN THE BANKS AND SAY, OKAY, GIVE ME A QUOTE ON A, UM, A CAPITAL LEASE FOR A STREET SWEEPER.

AND, UM, AS YOU SAW IN THE BUDGET THIS YEAR, WE HAD, UM, I THINK AROUND 335,000 FOR A STREET SWEEPER, BUT THAT'S JUST A PLACEHOLDER IN THE BUDGET.

UM, UM, WHAT I WANT TO DO IS, UM, SPEND THIS OUT OVER SEVEN YEARS, YOU KNOW, AS, UM, AS BRIAN BROUGHT TO US, UM, A COUPLE YEARS AGO, THE, UH, WITH ENTERPRISE, WE'RE TRYING TO SPREAD OUT, UM, OUR, UH, LEASE PAYMENTS, UH, FOR VEHICLES.

AND SO, UM, AS WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST WITH MEDICS AND UM, UM, POLICE RADIOS AND SOME OTHER THINGS, IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO DO A CAPITAL LEASE.

SO THIS WOULD ONLY BURDEN THE STORM WATER FUND, UH, TO THE LEVEL OF, UM, LET'S SEE, THE ANNUAL AMOUNT IS, UM, 56,383 INSTEAD OF 335,000 ALL AT ONCE.

UM, SO THAT IS WHAT I'M RECOMMENDING ALSO AT A RATE, UH, THEY QUOTED THE SAME RATE.

THIS ONE IS, UH, FOR SEVEN YEARS, UH, BUT 4.34%.

AND, UH, WE'LL HAVE SEMI-ANNUAL PAYMENTS OF 28,191 AND 69 CENTS, UH, STARTING HERE IN DECEMBER.

SO, UM, I WILL LATER THIS YEAR BRING THOSE IN A, UH, SUPPLEMENTAL, UH, BECAUSE WE OBVIOUSLY DID NOT BUDGET THE, UH, FINANCING COSTS, CUZ WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD BE AT THE TIME.

SO, UM, I WILL, UH, BRING THAT TO YOU IN A LATER SUPPLEMENTAL.

ALRIGHT.

OKAY.

ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS FOR MR. BELL? GREAT.

OKAY, NEXT ITEM, UM, THREE K SUPPLEMENTAL

[ Supplemental Appropriations]

MR. BELL.

UH, YES, JUST A FEW TONIGHT.

AND, UM, THEY ARE, UM, ALL IN THE GENERAL FUND, UH, THEY COME TO A TOTAL OF $85,000.

UH, $80,000 OF THAT IS, UH, FOR THE MERRILY WAY TRAFFIC STUDY, UM, WHICH, UH, I BELIEVE COUNSEL WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER THIS YEAR.

UM, UM, IN ADDITION TO THAT, UM, UH, AS YOU KNOW, I'VE TALKED TO YOU BEFORE ABOUT, UH, SOME OF THE, UM, UH, DIFFICULTIES WE'VE HAD IN FILLING POSITIONS IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, BOTH IN THE ACCOUNTING SECTION AND IN THE TAX DIVISION.

AND SO, UM, UM, I'VE GONE TO BRIAN AND ASKED HIM FOR PERMISSION TO HIRE TEMPORARY SERVICES AND THEN, UH, THEY'VE BEEN ON, UM, WE'VE HAD TEMPORARY SINCE JANUARY 1ST.

THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB FOR US, UM, UH, PROVIDING GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE, NOT ONLY FOR OUR STAFF, BUT ALSO FOR THE PUBLIC.

ANYONE WHO'S VISITED THE TAX OFFICE, I'M SURE COULD TELL YOU THAT.

AND, UM, SO WHAT I'M RECOMMENDING IS SINCE WE HAVE POSITIONS THAT WERE UNFILLED MOVING, UH, IN THE ACCOUNTING DIVISION, $23,940 FROM THE, UM, STAFFING, UM, PERSONNEL ITEM, LINE ITEM DOWN TO, UM, THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LINE ITEM, SO THAT WAY I CAN PAY THE, UM, UH, TEMPORARY SERVICE, MY ESTIMATE ON THESE TWO AMOUNTS IS, UH, THAT THAT WILL GET US FOR ANOTHER THREE MONTHS THROUGH THE, UH, THROUGH THE MONTH OF AUGUST.

THEN I WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT, UH, ALL OF OUR OPEN POSITIONS WOULD BE FILLED BY THAT TIME.

AND, UM, THE, UM, THE OTHER AMOUNT OF $41,180, ONCE AGAIN, I WOULD ASK THAT WE TRANSFER THE MONEY, UM, OR, OR REDUCE THE PERSONNEL LINE ITEMS AND THEN INCREASE THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LINE ITEMS. SO THERE'S NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER TO THE BUDGETS A ZERO IMPACT.

I JUST, I'M NOT ALLOWED TO MOVE THOSE DOLLARS, I HAVE TO COME TO COUNCIL WHEN IT'S THE PERSONNEL SECTION OF THE BUDGET VERSUS THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES SECTION OF THE BUDGET.

SO, UH, AS I SAID, THAT'S A ZERO IMPACT TO THE BUDGET IN TOTAL.

AND, UH, THE LAST ITEM, UH,

[ Increase Not To Exceed Amount - Lennon & Company, CPA]

UH, LENNON COMPANY IS THE FIRM THAT, UH, WE HIRE ANNUALLY.

WE'VE BEEN USING THEM FOR, UH, ABOUT 11 YEARS.

[00:30:01]

AND SO, UH, WITH, UH, OUR STAFFING SITUATION AS IS, UH, WE ARE A LITTLE BIT BEHIND ON GETTING THE FINANCIAL REPORT FINISHED, UM, IN A TIMELY BASIS.

AND I'M HOPING THAT, UH, MR. UH, LENNON AND HIS STAFF CAN, UH, HELP US, UH, DO A LITTLE MORE WORK THAT WE WOULD NORMALLY DO AND HAND OVER TO HIM TO FINISH THE REPORT.

UM, HE SAID HE COULD COME DOWN HERE AND, UH, AND, UH, GIVE US SOME ADDITIONAL, UM, UH, PERSONALIZED HELP.

SO, UM, I ASKED HIM, UH, WHAT HE THOUGHT HE COULD DO ON THAT, AND UH, HE SAID, UH, HE ESTIMATED ABOUT $3,500 AND HE SAID THE MAXIMUM HE COULD IMAGINE WOULD BE 5,000.

SO, UH, TALKED TO BRIAN ABOUT THIS AND UH, BRIAN WAS IN FAVOR OF IT.

AND, UH, SO I'M BRINGING IT TO COUNCIL NOW AS AN INCREASE TO THE BUDGET AND THAT THAT WILL ALSO, UH, CAUSE AN INCREASE TO THE, UH, THE NEXT PIECE OF LEGISLATION, WHICH I'LL DISCUSS, UH, SHORTLY.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. BELL? MR. LYES? THANK YOU.

UM, BRIAN, THIS IS PROBABLY GONNA BE A BETTER QUESTION FOR YOU.

UH, $80,000 FOR A TRAFFIC STUDY AT MERRILEE WAY.

UM, TELL ME WE'RE GOING TO GET MORE OUT OF THAT THAN JUST, UH, STUDY THAT SAYS IT'S BUSY ON THE, THE STUDY THAT'S REFERENCED IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION.

YES.

SO THE STUDY THAT'S REFERENCED IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION RELATES TO, UH, THE ENTIRE CITY.

UH, AND IT IS A DERIVATIVE OF, I CAN'T THINK OF WHATEVER, UH, I WANNA SAY IT'S THE, UM, JOBS AND INFRASTRUCTURE.

IT'S THE FEDERAL THERE.

UM, THERE WAS THE FEDERAL, UH, BILL, UH, THAT CAME OUT, UH, NOT TOO LONG AGO.

UH, AND IN ORDER TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE DOLLARS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED, THE TRANSPORTATION DOLLARS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE BILL, LIKE I SAID, I WANNA SAY IT'S THE I I J A, YEAH, I I J A.

THERE WE GO.

UM, THIS STUDY HAS TO BE CONDUCTED AND SO WE'RE DOING THIS STUDY, WE'RE GONNA SPEND THIS $50,000 SO THAT WE CAN HAVE ACCESS TO, UH, SEVERAL MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF POTENTIAL GRAND DOLLARS.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

SURE.

THANK YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VICE MAYOR MR. OTTO? YEP.

FOR CLARIFICATION, YOU MENTIONED KIND OF CITYWIDE, BUT I MEAN, IS THERE A PARTICULAR SECTION CUZ IT MENTIONS MAYOR LEE WAY AND IS THAT GONNA TAKE IT? UM, IF I TAKE IT ALL THE WAY UP TO EXECUTIVE, LIKE WE, SO IF I, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, UM, THE, WE HAD ORIGINALLY BUDGETED FOR THIS PARTICULAR STUDY FOR THE, THE ONE THAT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE I I J LEGISLATION.

THEN COUNSEL ASKED THAT WE DO THE MERRI LEEWAY STUDY, BUT THE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION THAT WENT ALONG WITH THE MERRILL LEEWAY STUDY WAS NOT APPROVED BY COUNSEL.

SO YOU APPROVED THE STUDY BUT YOU DIDN'T APPROVE THE MONEY.

OH.

AND SO BECAUSE YOU APPROVED THE STUDY AND DIDN'T APPROVE THE MONEY, WE HAD TO SPEND THE MONEY THAT WAS AVAILABLE WITHIN THE LINE ITEM ACCOUNT.

SO THE MONEY WITHIN THE LINE ITEM ACCOUNT WAS ACTUALLY FOR THIS PARTICULAR TRAFFIC STUDY.

SO NOW THAT YOU'VE PASSED THE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATE, UH, EXCUSE ME.

SO NOW THAT YOU'VE, UM, EXPRESSED AN INTEREST, UH, THROUGH PREVIOUS LEGISLATION TO ADVANCE THE MATTERS THAT HAD STALLED OUT EARLIER IN THE YEAR, THIS BEING ONE OF THEM, WE HAVE BROUGHT BACK THIS PARTICULAR SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION SO THAT WE CAN FUND THAT STUDY FOR THE ENTIRE CITY.

DOES THAT ANSWER THE QUESTION? NO.

OKAY.

UM, THAT WAS QUITE CONFUSING.

UM, AGAIN, IT MENTIONED SPECIFICALLY, UM, MERRILEE WAY, I THOUGHT I SAW IT.

YEAH.

MERRILEE WAY TRAFFIC STUDY.

AND THAT WAS THE QUESTION, WHAT AREA IS THIS? AND YOU'RE SAYING THE WHOLE CITY, BUT IT SAYS SPECIFICALLY $80,000 FOR MERRILEE WAY TRAFFIC STUDY.

CORRECT.

SO BE, SO AGAIN, I JUST WANT A LOCATION.

OKAY.

SO WORD SALAD IS YES.

SO YES.

SO THIS IS THE MERRILY WAY.

THIS IS THE MERRI LEE TRAFFIC STUDY? YES.

OKAY.

DOES THIS TAKE IT UP TO EXECUTIVE, LIKE I THINK WAS MENTIONED? I WOULD HOPE FOR THIS WE MIGHT GET IT UP THERE.

OKAY.

YES IT DOES.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

SURE.

ANYBODY ELSE FROM MR. CHAD, MR. BELL OR MR. CHAPSKI QUESTIONS? KOWSKI? I'M SO SORRY.

OKAY.

UM, NEXT ITEM.

I THINK IT'S THREE L BUT I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE ALREADY COVERED THAT MR. BELL, BUT IF WE JUST DO IT AGAIN SO WE CAN BOOKMARK IT FOR TONY WHILE HE'S GONE.

CAUSE HE'LL BE MAD IF WE DON'T BOOKMARK IT PROPERLY IN THE MEETING.

YES.

RELATED TO THE, UM, $5,000 ADDITIONAL FOR, UH, LENN AND COMPANY, UM, THE AMOUNT THAT WE PAY THEM ANNUALLY IS JUST SHY OF THE $25,000 LIMIT, UM, FOR COMING BACK TO COUNCIL.

AND SO I NEVER PUT HIM ON THE ANNUAL LEGISLATION BECAUSE HE'S ALWAYS UNDER 25.

UH, BUT THIS ADDITIONAL

[00:35:01]

SO I'M ASKING, UH, COUNSEL TO APPROVE THE AMOUNT TO SPEND FOR THIS PARTICULAR VENDOR, LENNON AND COMPANY, TO A TOTAL OF $30,000, UH, FROM THE, UM, AS, AS I'VE SAID, ANYTHING OVER 25,000 WE BRING TO COUNCIL.

SO, AND IF IT'S NOT IN THE ANNUAL LEGISLATION, WHICH THIS ONE WAS NOT, THANK YOU, MR. ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS FOR MR. BELL? OKAY.
