THEY'RE CUTE.

AND NEXT UP IS ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, WHICH HAS CITIZENS REGISTERED TO SPEAK ON AGENDA ITEMS. UH, NONE OF THOSE EITHER.

[9. City Manager Report]

MR SCHOMER I CALL ON YOU FOR COMING.

GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY.

UH, MAYOR COUNCIL, I'M HERE FROM YOU LIVE ON LOCATION AT A SOLD OUT CONCERT AT THE ROSE MUSIC CENTER.

SO A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND NOISE.

I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

UM, JUST A COUPLE OF BRIEF THINGS FOR TODAY.

UM, WE ARE GOING TO BE BACK INTO OUR FACILITIES BEING OPEN.

UH, STARTING TODAY, THIS WEEK, UH, TRANSITION OBVIOUSLY HAS GONE SMOOTH ALL OF LAST WEEK.

EMPLOYEES, UH, THAT WERE WORKING REMOTELY, UH, HAVE RETURNED IN FULL FORCE.

UH, AND WE HAVE, UM, MADE SURE THAT THE FACILITIES ARE PREPARED FOR ANY ADJUSTMENTS OR CHANGES.

UH, THE, UM, UH, THE, THE BUILDINGS ARE STILL IN LIMITED IN ACCESS IN TERMS OF UM, SOCIAL DISTANCING.

I KNOW PUMP GATHERINGS, UH, AND IF CAN HAVE REMOTE MEETINGS WE CONTINUE TO DO SO.

UH, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IF A RESIDENT NEEDS, SINCE THE FACILITIES ARE OPEN, UH, JUST BE AWARE OF ANY POSTING GUIDELINES AND, AND WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S COOPERATION.

EVERYBODY HAS COMMON SENSE AND UNDERSTANDS THE GENERAL RULES AS APPLIES TO HOW THINGS GO ON.

AND THERE'S CERTAINLY NOTHING, NOTHING DIFFERENT HERE AS WELL REGARDING SOME OF THOSE GUIDES AND SUGGESTIONS.

SO WE APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S CONTINUED COOPERATION AND FLEXIBILITY WITH THAT.

AND AGAIN, ALL ALL SERVICES REMAIN OPEN.

THE TAX DIVISION IS A LITTLE BIT UNIQUE IN THE SENSE THAT THERE COULD BE A LARGER AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THEN COULD REASONABLY, UM, HANDLE THE CAPACITY MAINTAINING DISTANCING.

SO THERE ARE SOME SPECIAL PROVISIONS, UH, REGARDING THE FILING OF DROPPING OFF TAXES.

OUR EX ADMINISTRATOR TRACY PHENTERMINE HAS COME UP WITH A PROGRAM WELL BEFORE DRUG TYPE OF BUSINESS WITH CLIENTS ON THAT AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO IMPLEMENT THAT.

UH, BUT WE WILL CERTAINLY WANT AN END PROVIDING AMOUNT OF SERVICE THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN.

UH, AND NO, AGAIN, NO SERVICES WILL BE, UH, WILL BE DENIED.

SO WE APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S COOPERATION ON THAT.

IN LIGHT OF THINGS BEGINNING TO OPEN UP, MR MAYOR, I WILL ASK THAT COUNCIL CONSIDERS AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGENDA THIS EVENING, UH, TO CONSIDER, UH, REVIEWING AND ADOPTING A RESOLUTION THAT WE'VE PREPARED THAT WILL ALLOW SOME LENIENCY REGARDING ENFORCEMENT OF, UM, OF THE OUTDOOR EATING SPACES FOR OUR RESTAURANTS AND EATING ESTABLISHMENT.

UH, AS WE KNOW THESE, THESE RESTAURANTS THAT THESE BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN CLOSED DOWN AND HAVE BEEN IMPACTED GREATLY.

SO WE LOCALLY WANT TO PROVIDE AS MUCH OPPORTUNITY AND MAXIMIZE THE ABILITY TO REOPEN WITH A BANG, UH, TO HOPEFULLY, UH, STIMULATED, PROMPT SOME BUSINESS AND GROWTH THROUGH THE TRANSITION OF FULL OPENING.

UH, AND THE DETAILS OF THAT RESOLUTION WE CAN DISCUSS, UM, IF IT IS AWARDED TO AMEND THE AGENDA.

UH, BUT IN SHORT, WE BASICALLY WANT TO ALLOW RESTAURANTS SO LONG AS THEIR COMPLIANCE WITH ALL OTHER HEALTH RULES, ET CETERA, TO UTILIZE ADDITIONAL SPACE, UH, FOREGOING THE RESTRICTIONS OF THAT, UH, BEING VIOLATED, THE, UH, PLAN DEVELOPMENT OR STRICT ZONING, ET CETERA.

UH, SO WE FEEL THAT THIS MIGHT PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES, UH, FOR EXTENDED OUTDOOR SPACES TO ALLOW SEPARATION AND EXPANSION OF EMPLOYEE ARE THE PATRONS, THE NEWS ESTABLISHMENT, AND ALLOW MAYBE SOME RESTAURANTS THAT COULDN'T HAVE OPEN TO OPEN.

UH, AND THOSE THAT CAN'T OPEN, MAYBE PROVIDE A LITTLE MORE SERVICE.

YES, THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE.

EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOING AS PLANNED OR MAJOR THINGS SINCE WE LAST MET LAST WEEK WAS IN FACT THE REOPENING AND FOCUSING ON HOW WE CAN ASSIST OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES IN DOING SO.

PERFECT.

MR. ROGERS, ITEM 11 BE A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ISSUE A ONE YEAR EXTENSION TO THE CONTRACT FOR MOWING AND MAINTENANCE OF PARKS AND SPECIFIED CITY PROPERTIES AND WAIVING THE FORMAL BIDDING REQUIREMENTS AT THE FIRST READING.

YES.

AS DISCUSSED AT THE WORK SESSION, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND OUR CURRENT AGREEMENT INCLUDING THE PRICE, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT.

THE CURRENT CONTRACTOR HAS AGREED TO MAINTAIN THE CURRENT PRICE FOR THE NEXT YEAR.

SO DOES OUR RECOMMENDATION THAT WE MAINTAIN THAT WE'RE VERY SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE.

AGAIN, AN EXTENSION WAS WRITTEN INTO THE AGREEMENT SHOULD WE CHOOSE TO EXERCISE IT AND THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS RESOLUTION WOULD AUTHORIZE.

P FOUR EIGHT DASH ZERO ZERO ZERO FOUR ONE TWO AND FOUR ONE FOUR AT THE FIRST READING.

UH, YES, AS I MENTIONED IT TO WORK SESSION, THIS IS THE PROPERTY THAT IS LOCATED IN MIAMI COUNTY, UH, AT THE WESTERN ENTRANCE TO CARRIAGE TRAILS.

UM, ALMOST 25 ACRES IN THAT REGION.

I'VE BEEN TIED UP WITH A BUNCH OF, UH, PROBATE, UM, DELINQUENCIES, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.

WE FINALLY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, UH, WITH, UH, MR. MCDONALD WORKING WITH MIAMI COUNTY.

UH, THIS, THIS IS A COUNTY ACTION, UH, TO FORECLOSE ON THIS, UH, AND THEY WOULD THEN ASSIGN THE PROPERTY TO US.

SO THIS RESOLUTION ALLOWS US TO ENGAGE IN THAT PROCESS, UH, BEGIN THAT ACTION.

AND, UM, WE ASKED IT AS CONSIDER FOR ADOPTION THIS EVENING.

WHAT WAS THE WORKSTATION RECOMMENDATION? IS THERE A MOTION TO ADOPT? YES.

AND WHAT WAS THE SECOND? NANCY? SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT.

YES MA'AM.

YES, FOR SURE.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS ON THIS.

UH, I JUST KIND OF WANT TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND PAST ACTIONS AND CURRENT AND HOW THEY DIFFERED.

I KNOW, AGAIN, 2015, UH, WE LOOKED TO DO THIS SAME TYPE OF MOVE WITH THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.

UM, I KNOW THERE WERE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENCES BACK THEN THAN NOW.

I KNOW THERE WERE SOME DIFFERENCE IN, UH, I GUESS THE WAY THE COUNTY ALLOWED THINGS TO HAPPEN OR WHATEVER THAT MAY BE, BUT FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT, BUT THERE ARE ALSO SOME DIFFERENCES, BUT IN A STATE OF COSTS AND, AND, AND EVALUATIONS OF THE PROPERTY, UM, EXAMPLE, I THINK OUR CURRENT LEGISLATION SHOWS ROUGHLY $10,000 WE'RE GOING TO BE SPENDING TO ACQUIRE THIS.

IS THAT CORRECT? AND I, I THINK ROB, THIS WOULD MOSTLY BE HERE WITH US HERE.

YEAH.

FOR LEGAL FEES, CORRECT? YEAH.

NOW HAS SOMETHING'S CHANGED BECAUSE AGAIN, FIVE YEARS AGO IT WAS 15 GRAND.

SO IS IT JUST A DIFFERENT PROCEDURES NOW WHICH, WHICH IS PART OF WHAT'S ALLOWING US TO PICK IT UP? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

AS A, AS A DETAILED AT THE WORK SESSION, THE PROCESSES BEFORE WAS NOT A FORECLOSURE.

THE PROCESSES BEFORE WAS ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY FROM THE OWNER.

OUT OF UM, DELINQUENCY.

WE HAD NEGOTIATED A DEAL WITH THE FIRST LIEN HOLDER WHO HOLD A SEVEN DIGIT NOTE ON THE PROPERTY, WHICH WAS FIFTH THIRD BANK.

THAT WAS A $10,000 NEGOTIATION THAT, UH, THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO HAVE THEM FREE THAT LIEN.

THE SECOND $5,000 WAS PAID TO THE WIDOW OF THE PREVIOUS, UH, MANAGER OF THE DEFUNCT LLC.

UH, WHEN THE ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THAT SITUATION, UH, GOT TO THE POINT THAT WE MADE THAT NEGOTIATION $5,000 THAT ATTORNEY PASSED AND ALL OF THE RECORDS SAID, AND THE TITLE TO THE PROPERTY, EVERYTHING WAS IN PROBATE

[00:20:01]

THEN LOOKED AT MINE ACCOUNTING FOR A FORECLOSURE SUCH AS THIS.

UH, THEY WERE NOT IN A POSITION THAT THEY WERE WILLING TO TAKE THAT ON.

NOW THEY ARE, SO THERE REALLY ISN'T ANY DIFFERENCES OR ANY CHANGES IN DOING THE SAME THING MORE THAN ONCE.

WE'VE ATTEMPTED A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TIMES, A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PROCESSES, BUT THE REASON FOR THAT PRICE CHANGES.

WE HAD A NEGOTIATED DEAL TO ACQUIRE THE LAND FOR A TOTAL OF $15,000 10,000 TO THE BANK THAT NOW THE LIEN AND 5,000 TO THE ESTATE OF THE PREVIOUS MANAGER OF THE LLC THAT OWNED THE PROPERTY.

SO THAT IS THE, THAT IS THE, THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE.

OKAY.

NOW I KNOW THERE ARE SOME ASSESSMENTS ON THE, I GUESS TECHNICALLY THOSE ARE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE DO US ANYWAY.

SO IF WE TOOK POSSESSION, WE COULD WAIVE THOSE OR WHATEVER TERM WOULD BE USED FOR THAT BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T PAYING OURSELVES.

WHAT MAKES SENSE? UM, HOW WOULD THE BACK TAXES AND THE ASSESSMENTS ON THE PROPERTY, HOW WOULD THOSE THINGS BE DEALT WITH AND, AND, WELL, I'LL ASK YOU THAT ONE.

AND THEN ONE LAST QUESTION.

UM, ROB, I CAN TAKE THAT.

UM, GLENN, THIS IS A FORECLOSURE ACTION.

SO OUR ASSESSMENTS, SO MILLION DOLLAR ASSESSMENTS AND ALL THE OLD TAXES AND ALL OF THAT WILL ALL BE WIPED OUT UNLESS A THIRD PARTY COMES UP AND DECIDES TO PAY THEM ALL IN ORDER TO, TO BUY THE PROPERTY.

SO ALL OF IT'S GOING TO BE WIPED OUT.

UM, AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

UM, EVEN THE COUNTY HAS THEIR PAST DUE TAXES, PENALTIES AND INTEREST HAVE NOW REACHED THE POINT OF THE PROPERTY'S VALUE ACCORDING TO THE TAX ASSESSOR.

SO I THINK NOW THEY SEE THAT IT'S NOT JUST HUBER HEIGHTS THAT'S NOT GOING TO GET PAID, THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET PAID EITHER.

SO THAT MAY BE PART OF THE CHANGE BECAUSE THERE IS DEFINITELY A CHANGE IN MIAMI COUNTY, BUT ALL OF THOSE THINGS WILL BE WIPED OUT WHEN THE CITY OF, UH, HUBER HEIGHTS GETS THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS THE PLAN, UM, IT'LL BE PUT BACK ON THE TAX ROLL, BRAND NEW SET, WHATEVER ITS VALUE IS AND NO PASS THE TAXES WILL BE DUE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IT'LL JUST BE TAXABLE GOING FORWARD.

OKAY.

OKAY.

AND, UH, AND LASTLY, I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT THIS, UH, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE THE ONLY PERSON REALLY THAT COULD TAKE POSSESSION OF IT AND NOT BE UPSIDE DOWN IN OWNERSHIP, UM, BASED ON THE BACK TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS AND WHATNOT.

UH, DOES THAT SOUND LIKE THAT WOULD BE ACCURATE? I MEAN, IF A PRIVATE PURCHASER BOUGHT IT, THEY'D KIND OF BE STUCK ON THOSE ASSESSMENTS AND BACK TAXES.

IT MAY NOT, IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE WORTH THEM TRYING TO EVEN BUY IT WITH IT.

WELL THAT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED AND SOMEBODY BOUGHT IT AT AUCTION AND THEY DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THERE WAS ALL THAT, I MEAN, DOLLARS PLUS WORTH OF TAXES AND ASSESSMENT.

UH, YOU KNOW, WE CAN, WE CAN KIND OF QUESTION VARIOUS ACTIONS AND, OR RACE, YOU KNOW, CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS AS TO WHAT'S DIFFERENT OR WHAT'S NOW BOTTOM LINE IS WE'VE GOT A RELATIVELY GOOD PIECE OF LAND THAT'S BEEN UNPRODUCTIVE FOR QUITE SOME TIME THAT IS RACKING UP BACK TAXES AND RACKING THEM BACK TAX.

IT'S NONE OF THAT MONEY IS EVER GOING TO BE RECOUPED OR, UH, PUT, PUT INTO USE OR ACTIVATED AND UNTIL THERE'S SOMETHING DONE WITH THIS.

SO I THINK THAT OUR ACTIONS IN PRETTY AGGRESSIVE AND CREATIVE TO TURN A NONDEDUCTIBLE PIECE OF IS JUST A PIT OF GATHERING LIQUIDS WITH NO KNOWN THINGS.

SO I THINK THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO BE VERY, UM, YOU KNOW, POSITIVE ITSELF.

VICTORIA GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE AND MAKE THE MOST OF IT FOR THE BENEFIT, EVEN THE COUNTY AND THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT MAY HAVE SOME OF THOSE TAXES WIPED AWAY.

WELL, LET'S BE FRANK.

NOBODY WAS GOING TO PURCHASE A PROPERTY FOR THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY PLUS SIBLINGS, THE DELINQUENCIES.

SO AT LEAST THERE'S A CHANCE OF BEGINNING TO GATHER SOME, SOME FUNDS ON THOSE PROPERTIES AND MAKE IT PRODUCTIVE AGAIN.

OKAY.

NO, NO, AND I AGREE WITH ALL OF THAT.

I AGREE WITH ALL THAT.

I GUESS THE ONLY REASON I'D ASKED IS IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THAT WOULD CHANGE IN THE FUTURE.

UM, THAT, THAT UM, THIS WOULD PROBABLY, WE WOULD PROBABLY BE REMAIN THE ONLY VIABLE OPTION LIKE CERNER, JUST WHERE WE KEEP PACKING INVENTORY AND INVENTORY AND, AND, AND I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT, UH, I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME MORE MOVE BEFORE WE BRING MORE IN, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

UM, ANYWAY.

RIGHT.

IT'S, IT'S A, IT'S A LIABILITY.

IT'S ACCRUING, UM, NATIVE DEAD EVERY DAY.

UH, WE'VE GOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO WIPE THAT CLEAN, RESET IT AND

[00:25:01]

UM, THEN, YOU KNOW, THAT LESSENS OUR LIABILITIES AND EVERYBODY ELSE'S LIABILITIES ON IT.

UM, EVEN IF IT TAKES, YOU KNOW, SOME TIME TO SELL, UH, REGARDLESS.

BUT YOU KNOW, AS IT IS NOW, WE'VE GOT ALL THAT STACKED UP, UH, ASSESSMENTS AND BACK TAXES THAT JUST CREATES MORE AND MORE LIABILITIES.

SO THIS IS A, AN OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN.

UH, IT'S, IT'S NOT READING A LOSS OF REVENUE AND FOR THE COST OF LET'S SAY, $10,000, PROBABLY AT MOST, UH, MUCH LIKE THE EXAMPLE WITH THE ELDER BIERMAN PROPERTY, UM, ABOUT 12,000, $464, I THINK, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT YIELDED A $1.30, ONE POINT $3 MILLION PAYCHECK.

SO, UM, I THINK IF YOU WEIGH AND BALANCE HOLDING LAND AND INVENTORY AS A RISK COMPARED TO THE POSITIVES OF THE OPPORTUNITY, I THINK THOSE OPPORTUNITIES, HOW WIDELY THOSE OPPORTUNITIES OUTWEIGH THE RISK OF HOARDING THAT PROPERTY.

OKAY.

OKAY.

THAT'S ALL FAIR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU MA'AM.

VERY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OKAY.

IT'S KIND OF THE STARTUP MONEY FOR THAT.

UH, THE $25,000 FOR ADDITIONAL DEDUCTIBLES AND PREMIUMS FOR LIABILITY INSURANCE.

AS WE JUST RENEWED OUR INSURANCE AS WE DID LAST YEAR, WE ALWAYS ALLOW FOR, UH, AN INCREASE IN THE DEDUCTIBLES THIS TIME TO GO ON SO THAT IF WE NEED TO PAY THOSE IN A, UH, RELATIVELY, UM, QUICK AND RAPID WAY AS SOMETIMES INSURANCE CLAIMS IN CRASHES GO, UH, WE'RE COVERED FOR THAT.

AND THE $18,000 FOR ELECTRIC EXPENSES, UH, FOR THE ADDITIONAL BOOSTER STATIONS.
