APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE MIDSTREAM.

ITEM TWO

[2. Approval of Minutes:]

THE AUGUST 18TH MEETING HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED, AND IF THERE ARE NO CHANGES, UH, THE STANDARD IS APPROVED.

ANYONE HAVE ANY COMMENTS CHANGES? OKAY, THANK YOU.

ITEM THREE

[ City Manager Report]

IS THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT, MR. SHELMAR? YES.

GOOD EVENING.

I'M VICE MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

UH, NOTHING REALLY SIGNIFICANT THIS EVENING.

UH, MANY ITEMS IN THE, UH, IN THE AGENDA AT NIGHT FOR UPDATE AND THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON.

UH, BUT JUST BRIEFLY OUR STREET PAVING PROGRAM, UM, IS, UH, IS UNDERWAY.

WE ALSO HAD A PAVING PROJECT THAT IS DUE THROUGH OH, DOT ON STATE ROUTE TWO OH ONE.

WE WERE NOTIFIED TODAY THAT BEAR PAVING HAS PUT THAT ON HOLD.

UH, IT WAS A DAY BELIEVABLE.

DON'T START AGAIN SOMETIME THIS WEEK.

SO I KNOW NOTICES WENT OUT REGARDING TRAFFIC SHUTDOWN OR THEY'RE GOING TO DO THE WORK AT NIGHT.

UM, BUT, UH, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO START TODAY.

WELL, NOT, UH, HOPEFULLY AGAIN YET THIS WEEK.

SO, UH, WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL I HAD A AGAIN WITH UPDATES, UH, ATTACHED TO SOME OF THE AGENDA ITEMS THIS EVENING.

HEY, ROB, HAS THE CONSTRUCTION STARTED ON BELL FOUNTAIN ROAD YET? I DO NOT BELIEVE IT HAS YET.

YOU MEAN THE COUNTY BRIDGE OR OUR CULVERT THAT WE'RE DOING? UH, THE, I WOULD BE THE BRIDGE HAS GOT THE ROOT, RIGHT? YEAH, WE'RE DONE.

THERE'S TWO PROJECTS ON BELL FOUNTAIN, ONE BETWEEN CHAMBERSBURG AND FITCHBURG AND ONE UP BETWEEN TAYLORSVILLE AND .

SO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE ONE? YEP.

UH, YEAH, I BELIEVE THAT THEY'VE STARTED SOME, UH, CONSTRUCTION.

UM, I HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK, BUT I BELIEVE THEY'RE WAITING ON DELIVERY OF THE ACTUAL CULVERT TO INSTALL.

THREE, B MAINTENANCE CAP INCREASE MR. BERGMAN.

UM, ANYONE HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR MR. SHELMAR? ALRIGHT, UH, ITEM

[ Suez - Maintenance Cap Increase]

OH, YES.

UH, THIS LEGISLATION IS TO INCREASE THE MAINTENANCE CAP FOR SUEZ.

UM, SUEZ HAS AN ACCOUNT WITH THE CITY EVERY YEAR.

THAT COVERS EXPENSES THAT THEY OCCUR ANYTHING UNDER $7,500 IS COVERED THROUGH THIS ACCOUNT.

UM, THE MAINTENANCE CAP FOR THIS YEAR IS ROUGHLY $182,000 DOLLARS.

UM, MOST YEARS WE'RE ABLE TO KEEP UNDER THAT MAINTENANCE CAP AT NIGHT.

USUALLY DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL FOR THIS, BUT, UH, AT THE END OF AUGUST THIS YEAR, WE'RE AT 92% OF THAT ACCOUNT BALANCE.

UM, I DID ATTACH A LIST TO YOUR PACKET OF ALL THE EXPENSES THEY'VE HAD HAD.

AND, UH, MOST OF THE USAGE OF THAT ACCOUNT OCCURRED IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS DUE TO WATER MAIN BREAKS.

UM, THE COST FOR THE WATER MAIN BREAKS IS FOR THE MATERIALS USED AND FOR ALL THE RESTORATION COSTS THAT GOES WITH IT, EITHER CURB OR SIDEWALK AND SOME CASES OR PAVEMENT THAT HAS TO BE RESTORED.

UH, WE ARE ASKING FOR AN INCREASE OF 160,000 TO COVER THE LAST FOUR MONTHS OF THE YEAR.

UH, THIS IS BASED KIND OF ON A WORST CASE SCENARIO.

UH, THE LAST, LAST MONTH IN AUGUST, WE HAD, UH, $40,000 IN EXPENSES THAT MONTH.

SO I TOOK FOUR MONTHS, TIMES 40,000 CAME UP WITH 160.

WE ARE HOPING FOR A LOT LESS THAN THAT.

UH, WE'RE HOPING THE WATER MAY SLOW DOWN FOR ONE THING, UM, WHICH WE HAVEN'T HAD ONE FOR A WEEK OVER A WEEK NOW.

SO WE'RE HOPING THAT CONTINUES.

SO IF THAT DOES, UM, NORMALLY FOR, UH, THE LAST FOUR MONTHS WE USED ABOUT $87,000, UH, THROUGH PAST FIVE YEARS, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE NOTICED ON AN AVERAGE OF 87,000.

SO WE'RE HOPING THERE'LL BE A LOT LEFTOVER AT THE END AND THEN THAT MONEY IS WON'T BE USED AND IT'LL STAY IN THE WATER ACCOUNT.

SO, UM, THAT'S

[00:05:01]

PRETTY MUCH ALL I HAVE.

UH, LIKE I SAID, IT'S COMING OUT OF THE WATER FUND FOR THIS.

SO IF I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, LIKE TAKE LIPS, MR. OTTO, YOU HAVE A QUESTION, NOT A QUESTION SO MUCH AS A COMMENT.

UM, I KNOW THAT WE'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING QUITE A BIT OF A WATER MAIN BREAKS.

UH, I'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF PHONE CALLS FROM PEOPLE AROUND THE CITY, AND I'M JUST, I WANT TO SAY, I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT WE'RE FOCUSED ON THAT AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THIS MOVE.

I THINK THIS IS GOOD THAT WE NEED TO MAINTAIN THIS INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ISSUES FOR A LITTLE WHILE, BUT ONCE WE GET THROUGH IT, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE A MUCH BETTER POSITION.

AND AGAIN, I APPRECIATE THIS MOVE.

UM, THAT'S REALLY IT.

THANK YOU AGAIN, MR. SCHOMER.

ONE THING I WANTED TO ADD IS THAT THIS IS JUST A ONE TIME THING.

THIS IS NOT CHANGING THE, UM, THE CREW OR MAINTENANCE CAP INCREASE FOR AGREEMENT FOR THE TERM OF IT.

IT IS A ONE OFF JUST FOR A, FOR THIS CALENDAR YEAR.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT BE CLEAR AND WHAT WE WILL PRESENT FOR MONDAY.

I THINK IT WOULD BE SMART.

ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO

[ Supplemental Appropriations]

ITEM THREE THINGS.

SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS, MR. BELL, UH, GOOD EVENING, UH, NANCY AND THE REST OF COUNCIL.

UM, IT'S GOOD TO COME TO YOU TONIGHT, UH, WITH A FEW ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.

UM, FIRST THE SUPPLEMENTAL, UM, I PASS THESE OUT INTO YOUR, UM, PACKET AHEAD OF TIME.

UH, FIRST ITEM $2,745 FOR PROPERTY TAX COLLECTION FEES.

UH, WE TRY AND ESTIMATE WHAT THESE WILL BE.

AND, UH, THE SECOND HALF SETTLEMENT CAME IN AND THE FEES FOR COLLECTION WERE A LITTLE BIT LARGER THAN WE HAD PLANNED ON.

AND SO, UH, THAT'S FOR THE MIAMI COUNTY TAX SETTLEMENT, WE HAVE NOT SETTLED WITH MONTGOMERY COUNTY YET, SO THAT IS, UH, THAT SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY.

UM, THEN I WANT TO JUMP DOWN TO THE, UH, WHAT RUSS JUST TALKED ABOUT, THE, UM, INCREASING THE MAINTENANCE CAP.

UM, OBVIOUSLY WE NEED TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT IN THE BUDGET TO PAY FOR THOSE AND THE USUAL, UM, UH, DEFINITION BETWEEN WATER AND SEWER.

UH, WE'VE ESTIMATED TO BE $132,000 NEEDED FOR WATER.

ANY WATER MAINTENANCE THAT'LL HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE YEAR, AND THEN, UM, 28,000 FOR SEWER ITEMS. UH, THOSE COULD, MIGHT NEED TO BE ADJUSTED AS WE GET FURTHER INTO THE YEAR, BUT I THINK THOSE WILL BE GOOD NUMBERS AS TO WHAT WILL BE COMING UP BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE YEAR.

AND THEN THE REST OF THAT, UH, WHICH LOOKS LIKE A LARGE NUMBER ACTUALLY IS NOT 278,541 79.

UH, THAT IS ACTUALLY THE, THE NEW, UH, THE NEW AMOUNT THAT CAME IN, UH, FOR MANY OF YOU KNOW, THAT THE, UM, THE COVID MONEY THAT WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING THROUGH THE CARES ACT.

UH, WE HAD AN INITIAL ALLOTMENT OF 557,000 A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT.

AND THEN OUR MOST RECENT, UM, INCREASE WAS, UM, 278,005, 41 79.

AND, UM, SO I NEEDED TO OBVIOUSLY INCREASE THE BUDGET FOR THAT.

AND AT THE SAME TIME THAT I'M ASKING YOU TO INCREASE THE BUDGET, I'M ALSO ASKING YOU TO REPOSITION IT.

UM, AS WE'VE GONE FURTHER AND FURTHER INTO THIS PROCESS, IT APPEARS THAT THE MOST LIKELY, UM, UM, WAY TO GET REIMBURSED FOR OUR EXPENSES IS, UH, THE MOST GUARANTEED WAY IS THROUGH REIMBURSEMENT OF, UM, FIRE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES WHO ARE DOING, UM, EMS SERVICES, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY EVERY EMS RUN IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN ANY EMS RUN WE HAD BEFORE MARCH 1ST.

AND SO, UM, ALL OF THE INFORMATION I'M GETTING, UM, OHIO BUREAU OF, UM, MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET THEY'RE, UM, ALLOWING REIMBURSEMENT, I SPENT THE DAY THERE.

SO I'M TRYING TO CHANGE THE BUDGET IN THE CORONAVIRUS RELIEF FUND, WHICH WE'RE CALLING NUMBER TWO 90, UH, SO THAT, UH, MOST OF THE EXPENSES CAN BE REIMBURSING OR A TRANSFER OVER TO THE FIRE FUND TO REIMBURSE THOSE EXPENSES PAID OUT FOR PAYROLL RELATED ITEMS IN THE FIRE FUND.

AND SO IF WE WERE TO GET ANY ADDITIONAL MONEY ON TOP OF THIS, I WOULD ALSO BE ASKING COUNCIL TO, UH, PUT THAT MONEY AS A TRANSFER BACK TO FIRE AS A REIMBURSEMENT.

AND, UM, IN ADDITION TO THAT JUST TODAY, I HAVE LEARNED THAT, UH, THERE MAY BE, UM, COMING UP HERE VERY SOON, UM, EXPENSES AS WE GET STARTED ON THE VETERANS MEMORIAL PROJECT.

UH, AS YOU KNOW, COUNCIL PASSED A POTENTIAL, A BUDGET OF UP TO $1 MILLION.

UH, WE BELIEVE THAT BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE YEAR, WE MAY BE SPENDING AS MUCH AS $200,000.

SO I'D LIKE TO ASK COUNCIL TONIGHT.

IT WASN'T IN YOUR PACKET, BUT

[00:10:01]

UH, SCOTT TOLD ME TODAY THAT, UH, THERE'S SOME EXPENSES, UM, FOR THINGS LIKE SURVEYS, SOIL, BORINGS, UH, DESIGN WORK THAT WOULD HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE YEAR, AND COULD BE AS MUCH AS $200,000.

YOU THINK THAT'S A SAFE DOLLAR AMOUNT TO PUT FORWARD AS A REQUEST TO INCREASE THE BUDGET? UH, THAT INCREASE WOULD BE IN OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND.

I WOULD LIKE TO SET UP AN EXPENSE ACCOUNT THERE TO TRACK ALL EXPENSES, UH, ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS THIS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR.

AND, UM, AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'S NO REVENUE SOURCE, UH, AND THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS.

SO I WOULD ALSO ASK COUNCIL TO APPROVE A TRANSFER OF THAT $200,000 FROM THE GENERAL FUND AVAILABLE BALANCES TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND.

AND THAT WOULD BE, UM, EVERYTHING I HAVE TONIGHT FOR YOU FOR, UM, INCREASES TO THE BUDGET FOR THIS MEETING.

AND I, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO APPROVE THOSE ON MONDAY NIGHT WITH A, UM, UH, WAVING IN A SECOND.

I HAVE A SECOND READING AND APPROVE IT MONDAY NIGHT, PLEASE.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR JIM? UM, I HAVE ONE GYM.

THINGS DID NOT NORMAL DURING THIS COVID PROCESS WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT EITHER.

UH, ARE WE LOOKING AT, UH, ANY REQUIREMENTS THAT NEED TO BE RE REIMBURSED FIRST BY TO THEM? WELL, UH, MARK ASHWORTH, UH, CHIEF ASHWORTH HAS GIVEN ME THE, UM, AMOUNT OF HIS PAYROLL THAT IS STATED TO, UM, THE COBIT RELATED EXPENSES THERE.

AND THAT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO COVER THE AMOUNT OF CARES ACT FUNNY THAT WE RECEIVED.

SO THERE'S NO NEED TO GO FURTHER AND LOOK INTO OTHER DEPARTMENTS, UH, WHEN IT'S, UM, UH, ALMOST, YOU KNOW, IT'S AN AUTOMATIC FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, IF WE WERE RECEIVED MORE FUNDING AND IT WAS MORE THAN WHAT THEY WERE PAYING OUR EMS WORKERS, THEN I WOULD LOOK INTO REIMBURSING.

THAT IS ONE OF THE, UM, WHAT THEY'VE LISTED IS, UM, FIRE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES, UH, THEY'RE PROVIDING EMS SERVICES, UH, POLICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES, AND ALSO DISPATCH ANYONE THAT IS WORKING DISPATCH TO SEND THOSE INDIVIDUALS OUT ON THEIR CALLS, UH, WOULD ALSO BE, UH, QUALIFIED EXPENSES.

WHICH IS, UH, ITEM THREE, THE CARES ACT EXPENSE LIBERATION.

UH, THANK YOU.

UH, SO NO MORE QUESTIONS ON THIS FOR MR. BELL.

I DON'T SEE ANY HANDS.

UH, SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM,

[ CARES Act Expense Declaration]

IS I BELIEVE OCTOBER 15TH.

MR. BELL.

UH, YES, NANCY.

UM, WHAT I WANTED TO PUT BEFORE YOU, AND THIS IS RELATED OBVIOUSLY TO INCREASE THE INCREASE IN THE FUNDING THAT WE'VE RECEIVED FROM, UH, THE CARES ACT FUNDING, WHICH, UM, IS, IS OVER $800,000 NOW IN TOTAL BETWEEN MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND MIAMI COUNTY.

AND IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT IN ORDER TO, UM, HAVE THESE EXPENSES, UM, UM, IT'S IMPORTANT TO BRING THEM TO COUNCIL, TO HAVE COUNCIL DECLARE THEM AS NECESSARY.

SO THAT WAY COUNCIL IS VERY, VERY AWARE OF ALL EXPENSES.

AND, AND EVEN THOUGH THE WIDE MAJORITY OF THESE EXPENSES WILL BE REIMBURSING THE EMS EMPLOYEES, THERE ARE OTHER EXPENSES, AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING INTO TOUCHLESS, UH, FEATURES, UH, AT THE MUSIC CENTER ALSO AT CITY BUILDINGS.

I BELIEVE THOSE BIDS ARE COMING IN MAYBE THIS WEEK.

AND SO WE NEED TO GET THOSE, UH, ENCUMBERED AND SPENT BY THE END OF THE YEAR IN ORDER TO QUALIFY AND THERE'S, UM, UH, COUNCIL CHAIRS, UH, FOR THOSE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE CITY HALL, UH, TONY HAS ORDERED NEW COUNCIL CHAIRS THAT ARE, UM, UH, MICROBIAL.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE EXACT PHRASE IS, BUT, UH, BUT THERE ARE EASIER TO, UM, UH, CLEAN AND KEEP GERMS AND VIRUSES AWAY.

SO, UH, THE LEGISLATION THAT I PUT TOGETHER WITH A LOT OF, UH, WHEREAS CLAUSES, UH, ONE AND TWO, I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE A SAMPLE TO USE FROM ANY OTHER COMMUNITY.

SO, UH, AS FAR AS I KNOW, WE'RE THE FIRST COMMUNITY TO PUT THIS TOGETHER.

SO, UM, BRIAN AND I, UH, I, UM, PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER, SEND IT TO BRIAN, UH, TCHAIKOVSKY AND HE, UH, MADE SOME CHANGES.

AND THIS IS OUR RECOMMENDATION TO, UH, DECLARE THE EXPENSES THAT WE'VE RECOGNIZED AS A NECESSARY, UH, I WOULD SAY THAT, UM, I'M JUST PROVIDING IT TO YOU AT THIS MEETING.

UM, I'M GOING TO BE ON VACATION NEXT WEEK.

SO I REALLY, UM, WON'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THIS INTO YOUR PACKET FOR NEXT WEEK.

SO I WANTED TO GET TO A FULL TWO WEEKS ADVANCED NOTICE TO SEE IT.

UM, WE REALLY ONLY HAVE A FEW EXPENSES THAT WE FULLY PAID RIGHT NOW.

SO I WANTED YOU TO HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO LOOK THIS OVER, UH, UNDERSTAND IT, AND THEN I'LL PROBABLY BRING IT BACK TO YOU AT THE NEXT TWO COUNCIL MEETINGS, BECAUSE THE FIRST, UM, DEADLINE

[00:15:01]

SO I WANT YOU TO I'LL PROVIDE AN EXHIBIT A FOR THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.

UH, I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL HAVE IT READY FOR THE WORK SESSION, BUT DEFINITELY FOR THE COUNSELING COMMITTEE TO APPROVE ATTACHED TO THIS, UM, LANGUAGE THAT SAYS THE EXPENSES ARE NECESSARY.

SO THAT WAY YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE PAID, UM, UP UNTIL THAT SECOND MEETING IN SEPTEMBER, WHICH I BELIEVE IS ON THE 28TH.

AND, UM, SO THAT WILL BE IN YOUR NEXT PACKET.

WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE ON OCTOBER.

UH, THE FIRST MEETING IN OCTOBER BECAUSE, UM, UH, THE INITIAL ROUND OF EXPENSES NEEDS TO BE IN BY OCTOBER 15TH.

UH, SO THAT WAY WE CAN PROVE THAT WE'VE SPENT ALL THE MONEY OR AT LEAST ENCUMBERED ALL THE MONEY THAT'S BEEN GIVEN TO US.

UH, AND WE CAN PROVE THAT WE HAVE MORE EXPENSES THAT ANYONE, ANY OTHER CITIES THAT TURN IN TURN MONEY BACK IN, WE MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE TO GET AN ADDITIONAL ALLOTMENT OF DOLLARS BETWEEN OCTOBER 15TH AND THE END OF THE YEAR.

UM, APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK AND YOU'RE LEANING FORWARD ON THIS.

AND HOPEFULLY, UH, WE'LL BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY MONEY OR TURN BACK IN, BUT THANK YOU A VERY THOROUGH JOB.

WHICH IS ERIN LANE, UTILITY CONNECTION, ASSESSMENT AUTHORIZATION.

UH, ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE? OKAY.

NOT SEEING ANY WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM THREE,

[ Aaron Lane Utility Connection Assessment Authorization]

AGAIN, THIS IS JIM BELL.

UH, YES.

UM, BACK IN 2018, UH, THERE WAS AN ORDINANCE PASSED, UH, FOR, UH, RELATED TO AARON LANE THAT IF ANYONE ON ERIN LANE WANTED TO CONNECT TO THE, UH, CITY, UH, WATER SYSTEM, THEY COULD DO THAT, UH, THAT THERE WOULD, IT WOULD GO THROUGH AN ASSESSMENT PROCESS.

AND OUR CITY ENGINEER, RUSS BERGMAN RECENTLY RECEIVED A REQUEST TO DO THAT, UH, FOR THE PROPERTY AT 62 11 ERIN LANE.

AND SO THE, UM, WE NEED TO GET THIS, UH, ASSESSMENT REQUEST, UH, DOWN TO THE COUNTY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ACTUALLY TODAY WAS THERE A DEADLINE, BUT I KNOW THAT ACCEPTED, UH, IF IT'S, UH, APPROVED NEXT MONDAY, I'M SORRY, MONDAY, MONDAY IS THEIR DEADLINE.

SO IF A COUNCIL ORDER APPROVE THIS ON MONDAY, WE CAN GET IT DOWN TO THEM AND HAVE IT ON NEXT YEAR'S TAXES.

THAT WAY WE DON'T HAVE TO DELAY IT UNTIL A WAIT UNTIL 2022.

SO I'D LIKE TO LIKE COUNCIL TO APPROVE THIS.

IT WAS THE, UM, THE HOMEOWNERS CHOICE OBVIOUSLY TO, UH, SPREAD IT OUT OVER FIVE YEARS, UH, THIS ASSESSMENT RATHER THAN PAY IT UPFRONT.

AND THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY EXPENSES INVOLVED IN THAT ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES, COLLECTION, EXPENSES, THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO, UM, THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT THEY'D BE PAYING, UH, EACH YEAR FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

AND THEY HAVE REQUESTED TO THEM TO GO THAT ROUTE.

SO JUST THE SINGLE, UM, HOMEOWNER ON ERIN LANE IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS A REQUEST BY ONE OF THE HOMEOWNERS.

I, I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY OTHER HOMEOWNERS HAVE REQUESTED THIS SINCE 2018.

I JUST KNOW THIS IS A CURRENT REQUEST.

THREE F THE CIVIL LOAN APPLICATION.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR JIM? OKAY, JIM, I THINK I NEED TO TURN HIS PROGRAM OVER TO YOU.

GET THE MIDDLEMAN OUT OF THE WAY, UH, ITEM

[ SIB Loan Application]

AGAIN, JIM, UH, YES, THIS, UH, I THINK I REFERENCED IT AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, UH, WHERE YOU, UM, INCREASED THE BUDGET, UH, FOR 640,000 FOR CARRIAGE TRAILS DRAWS THIS YEAR.

UM, THIS INVOLVES SECTION 17, AS WELL AS WINDBROOK SECTION 3.1.

AND SO JUST LIKE LAST YEAR, WE WERE ABLE TO GET TWO SIBLINGS, UH, FOR CARRIAGE TRAILS, UM, UH, WORK.

AND I'M ASKING ONCE AGAIN, THE TWO COMBINED ARE 640,000.

THE REQUEST FOR THE LOAN IS FOR $646,000, BECAUSE $6,000 IS THE ISSUANCE COSTS, WHICH ARE A WHOLE LOT LESS THAN IF THEY WERE, UH, IF WE WERE TO GO OUT AND ISSUE DEBT ON OUR OWN.

AND SO, UM, THIS, UM, WHAT'S LOST IS TO, UH, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE FORMAL PROCESS LIKE THAT SAYING, YES, IT'S OKAY TO GO TO ALONE.

AND THEN ONCE THEY ACCEPT THAT, THEN THEY'LL SEND BACK TO ME A TERM SHEET, UM, A DEBT SCHEDULE AND AMORTIZATION SCHEDULE SOME, I CALL IT AND THEN I'LL BRING THAT BACK TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL ON THAT.

UH, MR. OTTO, YES.

UH, JUST A QUICK QUESTION.

IS THIS FOR PAST EXPENDITURES THAT WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED OR FUTURE WE MAY BE LOOKING TO DO UPCOMING? UH, I WASN'T SURE.

BASED ON SECTIONS, RIGHT? THIS IS FOR WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

WE JUST MADE A PAYMENT, UM, AT THE END OF AUGUST FOR THAT WAS OUR FIRST PAYMENT ON CARRIAGE SHELL SECTION 17.

AND WE HAVE NOT PAID ON A WINDBROOK 3.1

[00:20:01]

YET.

SO THE IS, WILL CARRY US INTO NEXT YEAR.

SO THIS IS ALREADY OKAY.

I ALREADY APPROVED STUFF.

IT'S ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY COUNCIL, THESE TWO SECTIONS AND, UM, UH, IN EARLIER LEGISLATION THIS YEAR.

AND SO I WAS WAITING UNTIL THE TWO CAME TOGETHER TO ASK FOR, FOR ONE ASK INSTEAD OF, INSTEAD OF ASKING FOR THREE DIFFERENT LINES OF, YOU KNOW, NOT SMALL AMOUNTS, BUT IT'S, IT'S EASIER TO COMBINE THE TWO.

THREE JEANS AND JIM, UH, YES.

SO THIS ISN'T FUNDING IT'S COVERING THE FUNDING.

THIS WOULD BRING WE, AS I SAID, UM, AT THE LAST MEETING, WE ADVANCED MONEY FROM THE GAS TAX FUND, UM, TO THE CARRIAGE DISTRICT FUNDING.

WE PAID THE TAX ADVANCE AND, UH, AND THEN MOVING FORWARD, WE JUST BE PAYING OFF OF DEBT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

APPRECIATE THAT.

WELCOME.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR JIM? OKAY.

[ OPWC Loan Acceptance]

UM, EARLIER THIS YEAR, WELL, ACTUALLY I THINK LAST YEAR WE RECEIVED, UM, THE, UH, RUSS HAD PUT IN FOR, UH, ISSUE TWO.

I THINK IT'S NOW , UM, IT USED TO BE CALLED ISSUE TO MONEY FOR THE CHAMBERSBURG.

UH, I'M SORRY FOR IT TO WIDEN BELL FOUNTAIN WIDEN BELL FOUNTAIN FROM CHAMBERSBURG TO OAK RIDGE DRIVE.

AND THE TOTAL REQUEST WAS $500,000.

UM, IN ORDER TO GET IT FUNDED, WE HAD TO REQUEST $250,000 OF A GRANT AND $250,000 AS ALUM.

OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD BE GREAT TO GET THE THING IS ON, BUT THE WAY TO GET ENOUGH POINTS TO GET THIS APPROVED WAS SPLIT IT BETWEEN GRANT AND LOAN.

IT'S A 0% LOAN.

AND SO, UH, I NEED TO FORMALLY ASK COUNCIL TO APPROVE, UH, THE REQUEST, UH, TO, UH, TO GET THIS, UH, TO APPROVE THE LOAN THAT THEY ARE OFFERING TO US FOR $250,000.

IT'S 20 YEARS.

IT'S 0% HAVE THAT ON MONDAY'S AGENDA.

ANY QUESTIONS? GOOD DEAL.

[ Tax Rate Certification - Miami County]

ALL RIGHT.

UH, THE NEXT ITEM IS THREE H THE TAX RATE CERTIFICATION FOR MIAMI COUNTY, JIM.

UH, LAST TIME I HAVE TONIGHT WILL BE, UM, UH, EVERY YEAR, UM, AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS, YOU KNOW, WE STARTED WITH THE TAX BUDGET BACK IN JUNE, AND NOW, UM, THE, UM, AFTER WE TURNED THAT IN MIAMI COUNTY HAS COME TO US AND SAID, UM, THESE ARE THE ESTIMATES THAT WE HAVE THAT WE THINK, UH, YOU'LL COLLECT NEXT YEAR FOR PROPERTY TAXES.

AND THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT, UH, CAN BE SEEN ON SCHEDULE A $22,385 AND 12 CENTS.

AND SO THIS IS JUST A FORMAL PROCESS TO APPROVE THIS, APPROVE WHAT THEY'D GIVEN TO US AS THEIR ESTIMATE.

AND I DO NOT HAVE MONTGOMERY COUNTIES YET.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY AUDITOR ASKED FOR A ONE MONTH DELAY IN THE, UH, PAYMENTS, UH, FOR SECOND HALF.

SO THAT'S DELAYING EVERYTHING THAT THEY'RE DOING.

I DO EXPECT TO BRING THAT TO THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, UH, EITHER THE SECOND ONE IN SEPTEMBER OR FIRST ONE IN OCTOBER.

UH, BUT I DO KNOW THAT MIAMI COUNTY IS, UH, THE ONE I HAD BEFORE YOU FOR THIS MEETING IS DUE BY, UM, UH, SOMETIME I'M SORRY, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE DATE, BUT IT'S ALWAYS AN EARLIER DUE DATE THAN A MONTGOMERY COUNTY'S.

THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO BRING IT TO YOU.

I THINK IT MIGHT BE DUE BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

SO A GOOD TO GET IT ON THIS MEETING.

THREE, I IS WRIGHT PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, REGIONAL COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS.

UH, ANY QUESTIONS FOR JIM? OKAY.

NOT SEEING ANY, THANK YOU, JIM, FOR AN EXCELLENT PRESENTATION EVENING.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

UM, ITEM

[ WPAFB Regional Council of Governments]

THIS IS FOR, UH, MR. SCHOMER.

GOOD EVENING.

AGAIN, I WILL SHARE MY SCREEN, RUN THROUGH A VERY BRIEF, UH, PRESENTATION AND, UH, MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THE, WHAT THEY ASK IS EVERYBODY SEE THAT.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO SET RIGHT PAT REGION UP IN THE FUTURE TO BE, UH, COMPETITIVE FOR ADDITIONAL MISSIONS, UH, AND JOBS IN THAT AREA.

VERY GOOD.

SO, UM, IN THE FALL INTO WINTER LAST YEAR, UH, CONGRESSMAN TURNER, I HAD GOT WITH DAYTON DEVELOPMENT COALITION AND HAD ASKED TO HELP FACILITATE THE COMING TOGETHER OF COMMUNITIES IN AND AROUND THE RIGHT PATTERSON REGION, UH, TO LOOK FOR WAYS TO HAVE COMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT PLANS IN ORDER TO, UM, TO ACCOMMODATE FUTURE EXPANSION, UH, AS THE BASE, UH, AS WE KNOW, IT IS, UH, IS UP FOR, UH, ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES.

UH, WE'VE HAD GREAT SUCCESS IN, IN BRAC.

UH, WE'VE HAD GREAT SUCCESS IN ADDITIONAL MISSIONS BEING BROUGHT TO WRIGHT, PAT AIR FORCE BASE.

UH, CERTAINLY CONGRESSMAN TURNER HAS BEEN HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH THAT AND HE SEES

[00:25:01]

SO THAT COMES TOGETHER.

THE IDEA OF DOING ORIGINALLY WAS A JLL JL U S JOINT LAND USE STEADY, BUT NOW IS CALLED A CUP, A COMBINED USE PLAN.

SO, UH, WITH THAT REQUIRES A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

UH, I WILL GET THROUGH THIS BRIEFLY.

UM, UH, THE FORMATION OF THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS IS WHAT THIS PRESENTATION BASICALLY IS FOR.

UM, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE WANT TO CREATE SIGNIFICANT COOPERATION ON LOCAL JURISDICTIONS AND RIPERT AIR FORCE BASE.

UH, THE COMPATIBLE USE PROGRAM STUDY, UH, WOULD BE A, A COMMISSION OF AFFIRM TO DO THAT STUDY, AND IT WOULD CREATE A PLAN TO MITIGATE MISSION ENCROACHMENT AND MAKE SURE THAT DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USE PLANNING IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE MISSION OF THE BASE.

SO FORMAL, INSIGNIFICANT COOPERATION IS THE KEY ELEMENT TO, UH, ONE OF THE FACTORS TO BE AWARDED FUNDING WANTS APPLE ONCE APPLYING AND IN OUR INITIAL MEETINGS, UM, WE THREW OUT THE IDEA OF A COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS, NO BETTER WAY OF TAKING WHAT'S ALLOWED IN THE REVISED CODE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND FORMALIZING A COMMITTEE INTO THAT COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS TO ALLOW CERTAIN THINGS TO OCCUR.

THAT IS, UH, AGAIN, ALLOWABLE WITHIN THE, UH, WITHIN THE REVISED CODE.

SO A MEMBERSHIP CONSISTS OF THE JURISDICTIONS WHO ENTERED INTO THE AGREEMENT.

OBVIOUSLY, UH, THE POWERS WOULD BE LIMITED TO STUDY COMMON AREA, GOVERNMENTAL PROBLEMS, PROMOTE COOPERATIVE ARRANGEMENTS, AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO HOME COMMUNITIES.

AND IT'S SIMPLY CREATED BY THE CREATION ADOPTION OF BYLAWS AND FILED WITH THE AUDITOR OF STATE WHEN BOARDING WITH IRC CODE, BUT IN THE RC ONE 67 DEFINES THE ABILITY FOR MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS, TOWNSHIPS COUNTIES, ET CETERA, BEING ABLE TO FORM A COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT.

YOU ALL MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH THE CURRENT COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT THAT WE HAVE IN THAT IS THE REGIONAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM IS A COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT.

WE ALSO HAVE SOMETHING SIMILAR THAT'S TITLED ACTUALLY JOINT VENTURE, WHICH IS IN OUR TCA OR OUR WATER TREATMENT FACILITY WITH VANDALIA.

AND, UM, THE PURPOSE OF IT IS TO FORMALIZE AND STRUCTURE AGAIN, THAT SIGNIFICANT LEVEL OF COOPERATION, UH, TO MEET THE OEA CRITERIA, TO OBTAIN FUNDING FOR THIS STUDY, UH, WE'LL GET INTO THE CORE OF WHAT IT IS NOT, IT'S NOT CENTRALIZING LOCAL DECISIONS.

IT'S NOT SUBSIDIZING AND CREATING, UH, GAPPED FUNDS OR REDISTRIBUTE FUNDS, NOR IS IT ZONING OR PLANNING CONTROL, NOT AN ATTEMPT TO AUTONOMOUSLY OVERRIDE, LOCAL PLANNING AUTHORITY.

IN FACT, IT'S TO TAKE EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLANS AND ZONING OVERLAYS, UH, MATCH THEM, STUDY THEM TO SEE HOW THEY CAN WORK TOGETHER TO FIT WITHIN COMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN RIGHT PATTERN FOR SPACE, UH, WHO WOULD BE INCLUDED OBVIOUSLY MEMBERS WITH IN GREEN COUNTY AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY, AND THEN ALSO BE ASSOCIATE ADVISORY MEMBERS, UH, CONSISTING OF THE BASE ITSELF AND VRP C CONGRESSMAN TURNER'S OFFICE AND, UH, DAYTON DEVELOPMENT COALITION.

UH, THE COMPUTER WE'LL USE PROGRAM BASICALLY IS A TECHNICAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR US TO DO THAT.

VERY THING IS TO STUDY, TO SEE WHAT, UM, UH, WHAT COMMUNITIES CAN DO TO ASSIST OUR LOCAL INSTALLATION BEING RIGHT PAID AIR FORCE BASE, TO OPTIMIZE OUR MISSION SUPPORT TO THEM AND ENHANCE THE READINESS OF THE MILITARY VALUE OF THOSE LOCAL INSTALLATIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO ENCROACHMENT, UH, ISSUES IF THERE ARE THERE'S MITIGATION OF THOSE, AND IS ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USE PLANS, UH, ARE COMPATIBLE AND PROMOTE COMPATIBLE USE WITHIN THE, UM, THE MISSION OF RIPE AIR FORCE BASE.

THERE'S CURRENTLY SOME ZONING REGULATIONS ISSUED THROUGH WHAT WAS CALLED THE RIPE AIR FORCE BASE, UM, AIRPORT ZONING REGULATIONS, UM, AND THAT'S KIND OF THE FOOTPRINT THAT'S BEING USED TO ESTABLISH WHAT JURISDICTIONS ARE IN OUR LIVES INVOLVED, UH, FUNDING OPPORTUNITY, AGAIN, UH, THAT IS, THAT IS THERE, THAT IT ALLOWS, UM, THE COMMUNITIES TO COME TOGETHER SHOWING THAT SIGNIFICANT COOPERATION AND GET FUNDING FOR THAT AND, UM, FALLS YEAH.

UNDER THE USE OF COMPATIBLE USE PLANS ARE THE CUP AND THE FUNDING CRITERIA AGAIN, UH, TO BE STATED AGAIN AND AGAIN, THE, UH, SIGNIFICANT, UH, UH, COOPERATION COST SHARE REQUIREMENTS, 10% FROM NON-FEDERAL SOURCES, UH, PROPOSAL, THE MEMBER AGENCIES OF THE COURT WOULD EQUALLY CONTRIBUTE WHATEVER THAT 10% MATCH WOULD BE, UH, AND IS ONLY GIVEN TO ONE GOVERNMENT ENTITY.

SO THERE'D BE A FIDUCIARY ESTABLISHED WITHIN THAT.

AND THE GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY WOULD BE THE RIGHT PAT READERS, UH, REGIONAL COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS.

SO THE COUNCIL GOVERNANCE COULD BE THE RECIPIENT OF THAT, OF THOSE FUNDS AS OPPOSED TO A SEPARATE ENTITY, AND THEN HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, WHO OWNS THE DATA, THE STUDY, ET CETERA.

UH, THE PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS ARE LISTED ON THERE.

THEY'RE TAKEN OUT THE WEBSITE AGAIN, DOESN'T NECESSARILY APPLY TO THIS CONVERSATION.

UM, AND THE INFORMATION AGAIN, WHAT THE REVIEW PROCESS IS, UH, AND WE'LL ACTUALLY HAVE A PROGRAM MANAGER ASSIGNED TO

[00:30:01]

US BIO EA, UH, WHICH WILL HELP FACILITATE A DAYTON DEVELOPMENT COALITION HAS STAFF ON BOARD THAT IS VERY FAMILIAR.

THEY WORK, UM, WITH, IN, FROM, UH, RIPE AIR FORCE BASE AND WITHIN A PROJECTS LIKE THIS, UH, THERE'S GOING TO BE A PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT FOR THE STUDY.

UH, THERE'LL BE, UH, A POLICY COMMITTEE, WHICH WOULD STAND AS THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS.

AND THEN THERE'LL BE A TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT WOULD NEED TO BE ESTABLISHED, UH, REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION, UH, FROM THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS, UH, FOR THE EVALUATION OF IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES.

UM, THIS IS JUST A LIST OF DOCUMENTS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AND WE'LL PUT TOGETHER THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN PART OF THE APPLICATION, UH, ONCE.

AND IF THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS IS FORMED.

AND, UH, AGAIN, THIS KIND OF WRAPPED UP WITH THE FUTURE OF PET, UM, BEING AS NOTABLE AS IT'S, AS IT'S PAST WITH WHAT WE CAN DO IN THE FUTURE.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL, UH, I WILL INCLUDE THAT.

UM, LET ME GET THIS RESET HERE.

THERE WE GO.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL INCLUDE THAT, UH, SINCE THE DISCUSSION OF THE COG WAS BROUGHT UP, UM, PRIMARILY BY YOURS TRULY.

AND, UH, WE'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE THE FIRST COMMUNITY TO, UM, TO TAKE A LOOK AT, UH, JOINING AND SIGNING THE AGREEMENT TO ESTABLISH THE COG.

UH, I WAS ALSO LUCKY ENOUGH TO OFFER THE DOCUMENTS AND THE POWERPOINT AND EVERYTHING.

SO, UH, THE KNOWLEDGE OF IT IS, UM, IS, IS PRETTY SHARED AMONGST ALL OF THE MEMBER, UH, POTENTIAL MEMBER COMMUNITIES.

UH, I'VE SPOKEN WITH THE OTHER MANAGERS AND ADMINISTRATORS, AND THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING A DISTRIBUTED TO THEIR, UH, GOVERNING BODIES AND LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING IT.

SO THE STEP WOULD BE, UH, US AGREEING TO THE AGREEMENT PASSING RESOLUTION, UH, ALLOWING US TO ENTER INTO THE AGREEMENT WITH THE OTHER COMMUNITIES TO CREATE THE, THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS FROM THERE, THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS WOULD THEN MEET, UH, THE DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVES THEY WILL MEET, AND THEY WOULD PASS AN ADOPT A SET OF BYLAWS FOR THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS.

THEN THOSE BYLAWS ARE THEN FILED WITH THE STATE AUDITOR'S OFFICE AND UPON NOTIFICATION OF THE FILING, THEN THE COUNCIL GOVERNMENTS CAN GO AHEAD AND MEET AS A COG AND BEGIN ITS NORMAL REGULAR BUSINESS.

AND THE FIRST AND ONLY SO, UH, MAIN OBJECTIVE AT THIS TIME WOULD BE TO COME TOGETHER TO FINALIZE THAT CUP APPLICATION PROCESS, UH, AND BEGIN THE PROCESS OF FINDING THAT DOWN AT IDENTIFYING FUNDING AND AFFIRM TO DO THAT COMPATIBLE USE PLAN STUDY.

SO THAT WAS A VERY RELATIVELY RAPID, UH, OVERVIEW, BUT IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE.

UM, UH, THE DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN IN THE PACKET, SO I WOULD ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE.

AND I WOULD CERTAINLY ASK THAT COUNCIL, UH, BE WILLING TO ENTERTAIN THIS.

I THINK IT'S A, A GOOD MOVE.

UH, IT, IT DOES SHOW SIGNIFICANT COOPERATION, AS WE ALL KNOW, RIGHT.

PAT IS THE LARGEST SINGLE SITE EMPLOYER IN THE STATE.

CERTAINLY AS THE ECONOMIC HUB OF OUR REGION, MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY HAVE SPENT THEIR CAREERS, UH, PAST, CURRENT AND FUTURE AT THAT BASE, MANY JOBS HAVE BEEN CREATED AND A LOT OF QUALITY OF LIFE AND OTHER THINGS HAVE, UH, HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTED TO THE SUCCESS OF RIPE AIR FORCE BASE.

SO THIS SETS US UP TO BE ABLE TO BE UNIFIED AS A REGION IN THE COMMUNITIES, BUT YET STILL ALLOWS THE COMMUNITIES TO HAVE INDEPENDENT, UM, DECISIONS AND AUTHORITIES WITHIN WHAT'S BEST FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES, BUT ALSO HAVING THE ABILITY TO SHARE SOME OF THESE RESOURCES AND UTILIZE THE INSTRUMENTS OF THIS CUP, UH, TO HELP FUTURE PLAN, TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE MISSION OF THE BASE, TO SUPPORT THE BASE AND TO MAKE US MORE COMPETITIVE, UH, AS A REGION THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.

TYPE OF THINGS, BUT THERE'S ALSO, THERE'S ALSO DIFFERENT TYPES OF, UH, OF ENCROACHMENT ISSUES THAT CAN OCCUR, UH, OUTSIDE OF THE FENCE.

ANYONE, ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US? VERY NICE.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

I CERTAINLY, UM, YOUR ASK IS THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVE OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE CUP.

YEAH, IT SAYS NOTED IN THE, UH, IN THE PACKET, THERE'S A RESOLUTION THAT WOULD AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF THE AGREEMENT.

SO THE COMMUNITIES WOULD SIGN AND ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT TO CREATE THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT.

THEN IT'S UP TO THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS FROM THERE TO CREATE BYLAWS AND TO, UH, APPLY FOR AND, AND FACILITATE THE, UH, THE CUP AND OTHER OBJECTIVES THAT THEY WOULD VOTE ON AND SEE FIT.

COULD YOU SHARE WITH US YOUR, UH, DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHAT KIND OF, UH, ENCROACHMENT ISSUES YOU MIGHT BE YOU DISCUSSED? THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY IS TO IDENTIFY WHAT POTENTIAL ENCROACHMENT ISSUES THERE COULD BE.

UH, JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, UH, THERE'S SOME OBVIOUS ONES SUCH AS PLACEMENT OF CELL PHONE TOWERS, UH, THAT CERTAINLY COULD BE SOMETHING THAT COULD ENCROACH, UH, THEN YOU GET INTO ACTUAL WHAT PEOPLE WOULD NORMALLY THINK OF IS ACTUAL ENCROACHMENT.

UH, WE RECALL WHAT HAPPENED IN FAIRBORN WITH THE FOUR 44, UH, REMOVAL AND EXCHANGE AND MOVEMENT OF GATES, ET CETERA.

SO THOSE TYPES OF THINGS ARE, ARE LIKE PHYSICAL RIGHT AT THE FENCE

[00:35:01]

UH, FOR INSTANCE, THERE ARE, UH, INCREASED SOUND REGULATIONS FOR BUILDING CODE THINGS, UH, AND REQUIREMENTS WITHIN CERTAIN AREAS AND DISTRICTS OF THE, UH, OF THE FLIGHT LINE.

SO, UH, THAT'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE THERE.

SO, UM, THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY IS TO IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE WHAT TYPE OF MISSIONS AND OPERATIONS GO ON WITHIN THE INSTALLATION, AND THEN IDENTIFY WHAT TYPE OF THINGS COULD BE DONE IN TERMS OF A FORMALIZED LAND USE PLAN AND COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLANS AS WE GO OUT AND SEEK AND WORK OTHER COMMUNITIES, DAYTON DEVELOPMENT, COALITION JOBS, OHIO, RIGHT, PAT AIR FORCE BASE, OUR STATE AND FEDERAL, UH, UH, ELECTED OFFICIALS, UH, IN THE LIKE, UH, SEEKING NEW DEVELOPMENT AND BEING ABLE TO ALREADY HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE TO SHOW HOW THAT DEVELOPMENT CAN INTEGRATE IN AND WITHIN THE BASE AND ALSO THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES, UM, OTHER ELEMENTS OF, UH, AND I WOULDN'T CALL AN ENCROACHMENT, BUT I'LL CALL IT COMPATIBILITY.

ARE THINGS SUCH AS HOUSING, THINGS SUCH AS AVAILABILITY OF, UH, OF SERVICE, UH, AVAILABILITY OF EXTRA, UH, OFFSITE AND OUTSIDE OF THE FENCE, UH, LOCATIONS FOR EITHER CONTRACT OR ACTUAL GOVERNMENTAL JOBS, UH, THAT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIT WITHIN THE LANDSCAPE OF THE, OF THE BASE WITHOUT HAVING TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL LAND, HAVING JOINT AGREEMENTS, UH, FOR USE AND THINGS LIKE THAT FOR ACTUAL PHYSICAL SPACE.

AND, UM, SO THERE'S A WHOLE HOST OF THINGS, BUT THAT REALLY IS THE PURPOSE OF THE CUP IS TO TRULY IDENTIFY AND, UH, AND SEE WHAT THE REGION HAS TO OFFER AND, UH, AND HOW WE CAN MITIGATE ANY POTENTIAL ENCROACHMENT ISSUES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.

THANK YOU, ROB.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

UM, THE NEXT ITEM IS A THREE J

[ Economic Development Strategy Presentation]

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY PRESENTATION BY BRIAN.

THANK YOU, MAN.

ALL RIGHT.

LET ME SEE HERE IF I CAN GET MY SCREEN UP FOR EVERYONE AND ALL RIGHT.

UH, SHOULD BE ONE BIG SLIDE, THE HEIGHTS QUICK UPDATE.

SO THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY CAN SEE.

UH, EXACTLY WHAT DO WE DO AND WHY DO WE DO IT? AND WHY DO THINGS GO THE WAY THAT THEY GO IN THIS PARTICULAR LINE OF WORK? UM, SO, UH, THIS IS REALLY HOW WE GO ABOUT DOING WHAT IT IS THAT WE DO.

UM, SO TONIGHT, UH, THE, THE INITIAL PREMISE WAS TO GIVE YOU A, UH, PRESENTATION, UH, WITH RESPECT TO OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY.

AND, UH, AND I DO INTEND TO DO THAT, BUT SINCE, UM, I HAD YOU HERE, UH, AND YOU'RE A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE, I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON, UH, ON WHERE WE ARE, UH, WITH REGARD TO THE HEIGHTS AND THE LAYMAN PROPERTY.

SO, UH, THIS IS A TIMELINE, UM, VERY SIMPLE.

UM, AND IT'S A TIMELINE THAT YOU HAVE SEEN, UH, PREVIOUSLY IN A DIFFERENT VERSION, BUT IT SETS OUT EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE DONE TO DATE, UH, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY FROM ITS ACQUISITION, TO UNDERSTANDING HOW WE CAN BETTER PLACE IT IN THE MARKET.

SO, UH, YOU'LL NOTICE AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE SLIDE THAT SINCE WE'VE TAKEN POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY, UH, WE FEEL THAT INQUIRIES FOR MULTIFAMILY RETAIL, AND THEN, UM, SOME SPECIALTY MANUFACTURING AND WAREHOUSING, UM, WHERE WE ARE AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE CONTINUE TO BE ACTIVELY ENGAGED WITH DISCUSSIONS, UH, FOR, UH, TO, UM, OF THE MULTIFAMILY PARTIES THAT HAD EXPRESSED AN INTEREST.

AND WE CONTINUED TO BE ACTIVELY ENGAGED WITH, UH, THE, UH, THE SPECIALTY MANUFACTURING INTERESTS.

SO, UH, RIGHT NOW, BOTH OF, UH, I SHOULD SAY BOTH, ALL THREE OF THOSE, UM, ARE ON THEIR END TO DOING THEIR DUE DILIGENCE AND FURTHER EXPLORING WHETHER OR NOT, UM, THIS PROPERTY AND OUR COMMUNITY IS THE APPROPRIATE MARKET FOR THEM.

SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE WORKING ON THAT.

SO JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A HEARING, NOT A LOT, AND YOU ARE SEEING EVEN LESS, UH, DOESN'T MEAN THAT THINGS ARE NOT MOVING WITH RESPECT TO THE LAYMAN FARM.

UH, ADDITIONALLY, WE DID RECEIVE A PROPOSAL AND FROM OUR, UH, OUR PREVIOUS CONSULTANT SB FRIEDMAN, UM, ABOUT CONDUCTING A SWOT ANALYSIS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT DEVELOPERS AND INVESTORS ARE OR ARE NOT SEEING, UH, AND THE MARKET SPECIFIC TO OUR OPERATING AND SPECIFIC TO THE IDENTIFYING USES FROM OUR STUDY.

UH, AND THEN WE ALSO, UM, MET WITH MITCH HEAT AND FORMERLY AT THE DAYTON DEVELOPMENT COALITION, UH, NOW WITH HIS OWN, FROM HEAT AND DEVELOPMENT.

UH, AND, UH, THE PURPOSE OF THAT WAS DISCUSSED WITH HIM, POTENTIAL ADVOCACY PROPOSAL.

SO, UM, MAKING SURE THAT, UH, OUR NAME AND THIS SITE ARE IN FRONT OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE, UM, AND IF THEY ARE NOT MAKING SURE THAT THEY DO SO, UH, RIGHT NOW WE ARE EXPLORING THOSE OPTIONS AND WE ARE EXPLORING, UM, WHAT THOSE POTENTIAL AVENUES MIGHT BE TO CONTINUE ADVANCING THE, UH, THE PROPERTY.

UM, AND WHAT'S GONNA COME NEXT WILL BE, UM, ADVOCACY, ADVOCACY EFFORTS, UH, WILL BE SOME MARKETING EFFORTS AND STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION.

AND SO THAT ACTUALLY SETS UP THE PRESENTATION, UM, THAT I HAD IN LINE FOR IT TONIGHT, UH, WHICH IS, UH, OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY,

[00:40:01]

THIS IS THE, UH, THE QUICK VERSION OF HOW THE SAUSAGE GETS MADE, SO TO SPEAK.

UM, SO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, UH, WHAT IT ISN'T, UH, IT IS NOT CALLING PEOPLE AND QUICKLY CONVINCING THEM TO ALLOW YOU TO SPEND THEIR MONEY.

UM, THIS IS A VERY COMPLICATED, IT IS A VERY DIFFICULT PROCESS, UM, AND IT INVOLVES A LOT OF THINGS AND A LOT OF FACTORS THAT WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.

UM, AND I'LL COVER SOME OF THAT IN, UH, IN GREATER DETAIL, UM, AS WE GET DEEPER INTO THIS PRESENTATION, BUT BASICALLY WHAT THIS BOILS DOWN TO IS WHO, YOU KNOW, AND A LOT OF LUCK AND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF HARD WORK AND DUE DILIGENCE.

AND SO, UH, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT, UM, HOW WE GO ABOUT PUTTING OUR TIME EFFORT, ENERGY INTO THOSE ITEMS, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, LIMITED RESOURCES.

WE ARE NOT AN ORGANIZATION THAT HAS MONEY AD NAUSEUM, UH, TO PUT INTO THIS KIND OF EFFORT.

SO, UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MEANS A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

UM, WHAT THE, WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU, THIS SLIDE IS A VERY WORDY, UH, EXPLANATION OF, OF WHAT WE THINK IT SHOULD BE.

AND THAT IS BASICALLY IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND OUR COMMUNITY.

ANY PROJECT THAT HELPS DELIVER WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A REVENUE SOURCE, WHETHER OR NOT IT'S AN AMENITY, WHETHER OR NOT IT IS A, UM, A BRICK IN THE FOUNDATION OF WHAT IT IS, UM, A QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENT FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

THAT'S HOW WE, THAT'S HOW MY DIVISION AND MY DEPARTMENT, UH, WE'RE DEFINING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

SO IT'S A BROAD HOST OF THINGS.

IT'S A BROAD RANGE OF ITEMS BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE AS INCLUSIVE AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OUR MAKEUP AS A COMMUNITY IS INCREDIBLY BROAD.

AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAPTURE THE BEST OF WHAT WE CAN FIND AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S HERE IN HUBER.

SO THE PRIORITY NUMBER ONE IS RETENTION AND EXPANSION.

WE HAVE A LOT OF REALLY GOOD, UH, CORPORATE RESIDENTS.

WE HAVE A LOT OF, UH, BUSINESS CITIZENS HERE, AND WE WANT TO KEEP THEM.

AND THE REASON THAT WE WANNA KEEP THEM IS BECAUSE 60% OF JOB GROWTH COMES FROM THOSE BUSINESSES.

AND SO, UM, YOU KNOW, JASON FOSTER, OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR, HE SPENDS A LOT OF TIME, UH, PAYING VISITS TO, TO THESE PEOPLE, INTO THESE BUSINESSES TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GETTING WHAT THEY NEED FROM US AS A COMMUNITY.

THEY'RE GETTING THE SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED.

UH, AND IF THEY'RE NOT, WHY AREN'T THEY, WHERE AREN'T THEY AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP THEM WITH THAT? SO THAT'S WHY, UH, RETENTION AND EXPANSION, YOU'LL HEAR IT QUITE A BIT, UM, OUT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, THIS IS WHY 60% OF, UH, OF JOB GROWTH COMES FROM, UH, EXISTING BUSINESSES.

UM, NUMBER TWO, OR PRIORITY TWO.

THIS IS WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK, UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS REALLY ALL ABOUT.

AND DEPENDING UPON WHERE YOU ARE IN THE FOOD CHAIN, UH, THIS CAN BE SO AT THE STATE LEVEL, UM, BUSINESS ATTRACTION IS, UH, IS A BIG ITEM TO THEM.

IT'S NOT JUST RETENTION, BUT BUSINESS ATTRACTION.

AND FOR US HERE IN HUBER, WE'VE KIND OF BROKEN IT DOWN INTO THREE DIFFERENT SECTIONS.

SO THE FIRST IS THE MARKET DRIVEN RECRUITMENT, AND THESE ARE LARGE SCALE PROJECTS THAT TYPICALLY COME TO THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS, UM, IN VERY ANONYMOUS WAYS.

SO, UH, JOBS, OHIO WITH THE DAYTON DEVELOPMENT COALITION WILL SEND OUT A BLANKET REQUEST FOR, UH, PROJECT BLUE WHALE.

AND, UH, YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT YOU GET SOME BASIC PARAMETERS.

THEY NEED SO MANY ACREAGE, THEY NEED, UH, SO MUCH SQUARE FOOTAGE OF A BUILDING.

THEY ARE GOING TO NEED, UH, YOU KNOW, A RAIL SPUR AND SO MANY KILOWATTS OF ENERGY.

AND, UH, YOU KIND OF BID THAT DOWN AND EVENTUALLY SOMETHING COMES OUT OF THAT.

AND YOU FIND OUT WHO THAT, THAT BIG WHALE IS.

UM, AND SOME EXAMPLES THAT OUR REGION HAVE BEEN THE CATERPILLAR FACILITY, UH, PAYLESS, CROCS, UM, OUT BY THE AIRPORT, UH, AND NOW THE GM DISTRIBUTION FACILITY.

SO, UM, THOSE ARE PROJECTS THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING YOURSELF INTO WHEN YOU START THE PROCESS.

UM, THEY CAN PAY BIG DIVIDENDS, BUT BECAUSE THEY'RE SO BIG, NOT ALL COMMUNITIES QUALIFY.

SO FOR INSTANCE, WHEN THE GM DISTRIBUTION, UM, RFI REQUEST FOR INFORMATION CAME OUT, WE DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT REASONS.

UM, LARGELY BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE SIZE OF PROPERTY AVAILABLE, WE DIDN'T HAVE HAVE THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

AND SO WE COULDN'T BID ON, ON THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT, BUT THAT'S THE BIG WHALE.

THAT'S THE BIG, BIG HUNT THAT EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A PART OF.

UM, THE NEXT THING IS KIND OF TARGETED, RECRUITED, UH, TARGETED RECRUITING.

[00:45:01]

AND SO THIS IS WHERE WE'RE PICKING THE VERY SPECIFIC, UH, INDUSTRY, OR WE'RE PICKING A SEGMENT WITHIN AN INDUSTRY, UH, TO SPEND OUR TIME EFFORT AND ENERGY.

SO IT'S, IT'S MORE LIKE A COMMERCIAL FISHING, RIGHT? WE CAN FISH FOR POD, OR WE CAN FISH FOR PERCH, OR WE CAN GO CRABBING.

BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, WE, WE KNOW GENERALLY WHERE WE WANT TO GO.

WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY OUT THERE.

WE'VE JUST KINDA GOTTA DIAL THAT IN AND FIND IT ON THE MAP.

AND ONCE WE DO, UH, YOU KNOW, WE CAN MAKE A GOOD CATCH AND WE CAN BRING THOSE BUSINESSES OR THOSE SEGMENTS INTO OUR COMMUNITY.

AND SO, UM, THAT'S A LITTLE MORE HOME DRIVEN.

THAT'S THAT'S, UH, EFFORT THAT COMES MORE DIRECTLY OUT OF OUR OFFICE.

UM, THEN, UH, THEN THE MARKET DRIVEN RECRUITMENT, THAT BIG WHALE.

UM, BUT, UH, YOU, YOU STILL GOTTA, YOU STILL GOTTA HAVE ALL THE SUPPLIES YOU NEED.

YOU STILL GOTTA HAVE THE DRIVE EFFORT AND ENERGY TO GO OUT THERE AND SPEND SOME TIME PROSPECTING.

UM, YOU KNOW, WE, I THINK WE'VE ALL SEEN THE VARIOUS FISHING SHOWS OUT THERE EVERY TIME YOU CAST A LINE OR YOU THROW A NET, IT DOESN'T COME UP FULL, IT DOESN'T COME BACK WITH OFFICIAL ON THE HOOK.

SO THERE ARE TIMES YOU CAN GO AND SPEND EFFORT AND ENERGY AND STILL COME BACK, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT, WITHOUT ANYTHING TO SHOW FOR YOUR EFFORTS.

AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, UM, ARE THE QUALITY OF LIFE RECRUITMENTS.

UM, AND THESE ARE KIND OF THOSE ELUSIVE THINGS.

THESE ARE THE ELUSIVE BUSINESSES, THE ELUSIVE SEGMENTS OF INDUSTRY, UH, THAT EVERYBODY KIND OF REALLY WANTS.

UM, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN EVERYBODY HERE IN THE GREATER DAYTON AREA REALLY WANTED A DAVE AND BUSTERS, RIGHT.

WHEN THAT'D BE GREAT, IF WE, IF WE COULD JUST BE THE COMMUNITY THAT HAD DAVE AND BUSTERS, UM, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF, OF, UH, GETS THAT TAKE A LOT OF TIME TO DEVELOP.

UM, THERE, THERE ARE VERY FEW OF THEM OUT THERE AND THEY'RE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME, EFFORT, AND ENERGY, UH, TO GO AND FIND THOSE AND TO CULTIVATE THOSE AND, AND TO MAKE THEM, UH, INTO THAT, THAT CATCH, THAT PERFECT FUND THAT YOU WANT THEM TO BE.

AND SO, UM, THAT'S KIND OF THAT, THAT TIER TWO, THAT GROUPING HERE, THAT WE'VE JUST BEEN THROUGH THE, THE WHALE, UM, THE, UH, THE, THE GENERAL CATCH AND THEN THE, UH, THE ELUSIVE SHEEP SHARK HERE ON THE SLIDE.

UM, THAT'S KIND OF THE PRIORITY HERE FOR THE, UH, THE SECOND GROUP IS BUSINESS ATTRACTION.

SO THOSE ARE KIND OF THE, THE TWO PRIORITIES AND HOW WE BREAK THEM DOWN.

AND EVEN BEYOND THAT, THERE'S, UH, THE FOCUS, RIGHT.

THERE'S ALWAYS A KIND OF A FOCUS, UH, OF WHAT WE THINK IS BEST FOR US.

AND, UH, AND THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT.

SO THE COLUMN ON THE LEFT, UH, BREAKS DOWN WHAT THE DAYTON DEVELOPMENT COALITION, UM, MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND, UH, AND THEN US, THE, THE CITY, WHAT WE ALL KIND OF FOCUSED OUR EFFORTS ON.

AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF OVERLAP BETWEEN THE DAYTON DEVELOPMENT COALITION AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY WITH RESPECT TO, UH, TO WHAT THEY PRIORITIZE.

AND THERE ARE ALSO A REASON WHY WE HAVE TO PRIORITIZE WHAT WE PRIORITIZE IN THAT EXAMPLE, AND THAT JUSTIFICATION IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SLIDE.

SO ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SLIDE, THIS IS A TABLE, UH, THAT REPRESENTS JOBS SPINOFF.

SO FOR EVERY ONE JOB CREATED IN DURABLE MANUFACTURING, IT CREATES 7.4 JOBS IN OTHER INDUSTRIES.

AND SO THAT TABLE BREAKS IT DOWN.

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT ONCE YOU GET BEYOND TRANSPORTATION AND WAREHOUSING AND THAT WHOLESALE TRADE AREA, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GETTING INTO NUMBERS THAT ARE CLOSER TO ONE TO ONE.

AND SO IT BECOMES DIFFICULT FOR INSTANCE, YOU KNOW, THE LAST EXAMPLE THERE ON THE SLIDE IS THE RETAIL TRADE.

WELL, SURE.

YOU KNOW, WE MAY WANT TO, I DON'T KNOW, A PEER ONE, I KNOW THEY'RE OUT OF BUSINESS, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN PURE ONE WAS THE FANCY SCHMANCY FURNITURE STORE.

WELL, WE MIGHT WANT ONE OF THOSE, BUT TO INCENTIVIZE THEM IS NOT A REAL BENEFIT TO OUR LOCAL ECONOMY BECAUSE FOR EVERY ONE JOB WE'RE BRINGING IN, THEY'RE ONLY GOING TO CREATE ONE MORE JOB.

SO IT'S NOT A FORCE MULTIPLIER, LIKE A INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MANUFACTURING, AND, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE PROFESSIONAL TRADES WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, FIVE, SIX OR SEVEN TO ONE.

AND SO WHEN WE ONLY HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES, THAT'S WHY YOU TYPICALLY TEND TO SEE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONALS FOCUS ON THAT LEFT COLUMN.

RIGHT.

AND THAT, UH, THAT, THAT LEFT PORTION OF THE RIGHT COLUMN, I SHOULD SAY, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE, THOSE ARE THE, THE INDUSTRY SEGMENTS THAT HAVE THE BIGGEST JOB QUALIFIERS ARE THE BIGGEST JOB MULTIPLIERS, EXCUSE ME.

NOW RECOGNIZE AS IN WHAT WE'RE FOCUSING ON AND HOW WE GO ABOUT FOCUSING ON AND WHY WE GO ABOUT FOCUSING ON THOSE THINGS.

UH, THERE'S THE MATTER OF HOW IT ALL WORKS.

AND SO A LOT OF TIMES, LIKE I SAID, UM, YOU KNOW, THE EXPECTATION IS, YOU KNOW, WE SIMPLY PICK UP THE PHONE AND WE CALL, YOU KNOW, JOE SCHMO BUSINESS OWNER AND SAY, HEY, JOE SCHMO BUSINESS OWNER, WE'VE GOT A REALLY GREAT SIDE HERE.

AND WE'VE GOT SOME REALLY GREAT, GREAT BENEFITS TO OFFER.

YOU SHOULD LOCATE YOUR BUSINESS

[00:50:01]

IF HUBER HEIGHTS AND THEY'LL DO THAT.

AND IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY AT ALL.

AND THERE ARE A LOT OF REASONS FOR THAT.

AND THOSE REASONS ARE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SLIDE BEFORE YOU.

UM, AND THIS LIST IS THE TOP 10, UM, BIGGEST CONSIDERATIONS THAT CORPORATIONS LOOK AT WHEN THEY ARE LOOKING TO LOCATE A SEGMENT OF THEIR BUSINESS.

AND THIS COMES FROM SITE SELECTOR MAGAZINE.

THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL PERIODICAL.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT LIST, YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE ARE VERY FEW THINGS THAT WE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL HERE AT HUBER HEIGHTS, THAT WE CAN REALLY INFLUENCE ALMOST ALL OF THOSE ARE SEGMENTS THAT ARE BEYOND OUR INFLUENCE OR BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

THERE'S VERY FEW ELEMENTS IN WHICH WE CAN, WE CAN CONTRIBUTE AND WE CAN MAKE AN IMPACT.

AND SO THESE ARE ALL OF THE COMPONENTS ON, ON, ON THAT LEFT SIDE THAT BUSINESSES ARE CONSIDERING WHEN THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO AND WHERE TO LOCATE NOW, WHILE THEY'RE CONSIDERING THAT THERE'S ALSO THOSE ASPECTS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS SLIDE, YOU KNOW, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS NOT JUST ABOUT MONEY, WHO HAS WHAT MONEY OR WHO HAS WHAT TASK STRUCTURE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT MAKE IT REGIONAL POLITICAL, UH, COMPETITIVE, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN A MUCH DIFFERENT MARKET AT OUR PARTICULAR LOCATION AT 70 AND 75 THAN LET'S SAY MIAMI TOWNSHIP IN MIAMI MIAMI'S BIRD MIGHT BE AT OR AT AND SIX 75, WE'RE APPEALING TO TWO DIFFERENT MARKETS.

AND SO JUST BECAUSE THE BUSINESS WOULD CHOOSE TO LOCATE, THERE DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE WERE EVER IN CONSIDERATION FOR THAT BUSINESS TO LOCATE HERE AND VICE VERSA.

AND SO EVERY COMMUNITY KIND OF HAS ITS OWN EDGE AND EVERY COMMUNITY HAS ITS ADVANTAGES AND ITS DISADVANTAGES.

AND THE GOAL AS ALWAYS IS TO REALLY TRY AND KEEP PEOPLE FOCUSED ON THE ADVANTAGES AND TRY TO MINIMIZE THOSE DISADVANTAGES OR MINIMIZE THOSE CHALLENGES.

AND THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS COME INTO PLAY SUCH AS, UM, RELATIONSHIPS, UM, INCENTIVES, UH, AND JUST PURE LUCK AND HARD WORK.

UM, YOU'D BE AMAZED AT WHAT IT TAKES TO GET SOME DEALS DONE SOMETIMES.

I MEAN, UM, YOU KNOW, TRUTH BE TOLD IT WAS A, A SIMPLE MISUNDERSTANDING, UM, BETWEEN A PHONE NUMBER AND A NAME THAT LED TO FU OUT WINE, YOU KNOW, WINDING UP IN MORAINE.

UM, THAT'S, THAT'S HOW THAT DEAL GOT DONE.

YOU KNOW, UM, NAME GOT CONFUSED AT A PHONE NUMBER, GOT CONFUSED AND, AND HERE WE ARE THE LARGEST CHINESE INVESTMENT IN NORTH AMERICA, AND THAT'S HOW CRAZY THESE DEALS CAN CAN ADD.

NOW WE ARE PLANNING TO DO THINGS AND WE ARE DOING THINGS COUNSEL'S TAKING A LOT OF THE RIGHT STEPS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE COMPETITIVE, UM, IN THE FUTURE WHEN IT COMES TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

SO THIS SLIDE HERE KIND OF HIGHLIGHTS, UM, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE CITY IS DOING AND CORRELATES THEM BACK TO THOSE 10, UH, SITE SELECTION, UM, CRITERIA THAT I NOTED, UH, TWO SLIDES PREVIOUSLY.

SO, YOU KNOW, COUNCIL'S CONTINUED INVESTMENT IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, COUNCILS CONTINUE ACQUISITION OF LAND.

UH, COUNCIL'S CONTINUED INVESTMENT IN THE UTILITIES, NOTABLY, UH, THE, THE WATER SYSTEM AS OF LATE, UM, YOU KNOW, OUR RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT, UM, YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY THANKS TO COVID.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT AND DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO, UH, WITH THE UTILIZATION OF OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR.

AND NOW OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SPECIALIST, WE HAVE THE TOOLS IN PLACE TO GO OUT AND BUILD AND MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, BOTH WITHIN OUR BORDERS AND OUTSIDE OF OUR BORDERS SO THAT WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, AND WE CAN BE AWARE OF WHAT OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY WANTS AND NEEDS BOTH LOCALLY AND REGIONALLY, BECAUSE THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO BE ABLE, UH, TO BRING BUSINESSES OUTSIDE OF OUR BORDERS, BUT WITHIN OUR REGION INTO OUR BORDERS, IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

UM, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, OFTENTIMES WE READ ABOUT THOSE SITUATIONS, UH, WITH THE EDGE GRANT PROGRAM.

SO WE KNOW THESE SITUATIONS ARE OUT THERE AND CAN WE KNOW THEY'RE OUT THERE, BUT IT'S MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT INFORMATION AT THE RIGHT TIME TO HELP FACILITATE THOSE, THOSE CONSOLIDATIONS HERE TO HUBER.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON.

UH, AND THEN WE HAVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE COMPONENT, RIGHT? MAKING SURE THAT, UH, THE FOLKS WHO WORK HERE HAVE, UM, THE RIGHT RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM TO RELAX, TO RELAX, TO REST AND ONLINE, AS WELL AS OUR OWN CITIZENS.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN WORKING HARD TO PUT TOGETHER SOME QUALITY OF LIFE COMPONENTS, UM, AND ENHANCE THE ONES THAT WE HAVE.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE CONTINUE TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS THERE.

NOW, THE OTHER THING THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO US ARE THE INCENTIVES.

AND SO YOU NOTED ON THE SLIDE THAT, UM, THERE IS THE TAX STRUCTURE AND THERE ARE THOSE ISSUES THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, BUSINESSES DO WANT TO THINK ABOUT, THEY DO NEED TO CONCERN THEMSELVES WITH THEM.

[00:55:01]

AND SO THIS WAS SOME THINGS THAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO, UM, THAT WILL GIVE US AN ADVANTAGE, UH, THAT WILL PUT US IN A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS POSITION THAN MAYBE ANOTHER COMMUNITY THAT MIGHT BE UNDER CONSIDERATION AND OUR REGION.

AND SO, UM, THESE PROGRAMS HERE THAT I'M GOING TO REVIEW WITH COUNCIL, THESE ARE PROGRAMS I'VE BRIEFLY TOUCHED ON BEFORE, UH, WITH YOU, THESE ARE PROGRAMS THAT WE ARE DOING SOME FURTHER DUE DILIGENCE INTO.

UM, AND THAT, UM, AS WE GET FURTHER INTO THE 2021 BUDGET PROCESS, UM, I MAYBE, UM, ASKING THE CITY MANAGER TO INCLUDE SOME, SOME FUNDING FOR THESE PROGRAMS. SO THE FIRST, THIS IS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM YOU'LL KNOW WORKFORCE HAS BEEN VERY POPULAR TOPIC WITHIN OUR REGION.

UM, IT IS THE NUMBER ONE ITEM ON THE SITE SELECTOR LIST.

IS THERE QUALIFIED, IS THERE AN AVAILABLE WORKFORCE FOR THEIR PARTICULAR INDUSTRY OR FOR THEIR PARTICULAR BUSINESS? SO, UH, WHAT THIS PROGRAM LOOKS AT DOING IS IT LOOKS AT, UH, PROVIDING SUPPORT TO HUBER HEIGHTS RESIDENTS, UH, WHO RESIDE IN CERTAIN AREAS OF OUR COMMUNITY TO INCENTIVIZE THEM TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL, TO GET CERTIFICATES OR ASSOCIATES DEGREES AND THEIR APPROPRIATE FIELDS ARE EXCUSE ME, IN APPROPRIATE FIELDS, UH, THAT ARE IN DEMAND, UH, FOR, UH, MANUFACTURING AND MEDICAL AND SOME OF THE OTHER TARGETED SEGMENTS, UH, THAT WE REVIEWED EARLIER IN THIS PRESENTATION.

UH, AND THEN THE, UH, THE GOAL THERE IS, UH, THIS PROGRAM HELPS INCREASE RESIDENT EARNINGS AND PROVIDES A, A MORE QUALIFIED WORKFORCE HERE MAKING US ATTRACTED TO, UH, TO LOCAL BUSINESS OR TO BRING NEW BUSINESS INTO THE AREA.

UM, ANOTHER PROGRAM THAT WE'RE LOOKING ON WORKING ON IS THE FACADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

UM, THIS WOULD BE A CAP GRANT, UH, THAT WOULD BE PROVIDED TO QUALIFYING BUSINESS OR PROPERTY OWNERS.

UH, AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS WOULD BE TO BRING THEIR PROPERTY, TO BRING THEIR FACILITY INTO COMPLIANCE OR TO IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE, UM, OF THEIR, UH, THEIR FACILITY FROM THE OUTSIDE.

UM, AS THE, AS THE PHRASE GOES CUTE CELLS.

AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, WE CAN BE AS CUTE AS POSSIBLE.

AND SO, UH, THIS WOULD BE TO HELP FOLKS, HEY, THAT'S A REALLY NICE SIGN THAT YOU PUT OUT BACK IN 1980, IT MIGHT NEED A REFRESH.

MAYBE IT NEEDS TO BE SCALED DOWN A LITTLE BIT TO BE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE WITH, UH, WITH OUR CURRENT ZONING STANDARDS.

UH, THIS WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR, UH, FOR THOSE BUSINESSES AND FOR THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS TO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO HELP THEM GET THAT DONE.

UH, WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT A BUSINESS LOAN PROGRAM.

UH, THIS PROGRAM WOULD, UH, WOULD BE DESIGNED TO I'LL PROVIDE SOME GAP FINANCING, UH, FOR, UH, FOR BUSINESSES THAT ARE LOOKING TO EXPAND.

UM, IN SOME INSTANCES THAT MIGHT BE LOOKING TO START OFF DEPENDING UPON WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS, WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS, WHERE THEY FALL IN THE, IN, UH, IN THOSE MARKET SEGMENTS THAT WE REVIEWED EARLIER.

SO, UH, THIS IS A TOOL THAT'S BEEN UTILIZED BY OTHER COMMUNITIES IN THE REGION, UM, WITH VARYING DEGREES OF SUCCESS.

UH, AND SO THIS IS, UH, A PROGRAM THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS WELL HERE.

UM, AND WE TAKE, MIGHT HAVE SOME APPLICATION.

UH, THERE'S ALSO THE HUMOR ADVANTAGE PROGRAM, WHICH IS RIGHT BELOW THAT.

UM, AND BASICALLY WHAT THIS PROGRAM WOULD DO IS, UH, THIS ONE IS OFFER A REBATE, UM, ON THE INCOME TAX PAID BY A LOCAL BUSINESS, UH, PROVIDED THAT BOTH THE BUSINESS AND THE, UH, UH, THE OWNER OF THAT BUSINESS ARE LOCATED HERE IN HUBER HEIGHTS.

SO IF THE PERSON WHO OWNS THE BUSINESS CURRENTLY LIVES HERE AND THEIR BUSINESSES LOCATED SOMEWHERE ELSE, THEY RELOCATE THEIR BUSINESS HERE.

THEY WOULD QUALIFY FOR THIS PROGRAM OR CONVERSELY IF THEIR BUSINESSES LOCATED HERE AND THEY LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE AND RELOCATED HERE, UH, PROVIDED THEY WERE TO MEET THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PROGRAM, UH, THIS WOULD APPLY TO THEM AS WELL.

THEN, UM, AN ITEM THAT, OR A PROGRAM THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FURTHER IS A COMMERCIAL RENT GUARANTEE PROGRAM, AND YES, GUARANTEE IS SPELLED CORRECT, UH, ON THIS SLIDE.

UH, AND THE PREMISE HERE IS THAT, UM, WE WANT, AND TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME RENT ASSISTANCE TO, UM, CERTAIN BUSINESSES, TO, UH, CERTAIN ENTREPRENEURS, UM, TO HELP STAND THEM UP AND ALLOW THEM TO BE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES SO THAT THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL.

MOST STARTUP COMPANIES CLOSE, I BELIEVE IT IS WITHIN THE FIRST FIVE YEARS THAT THEY'RE OPEN.

AND SO IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE, UH, WE WOULD LOOK AT THIS PROGRAM AS A WAY TO HELP THOSE PEOPLE BUILD THAT BRAND, UH, SO THAT THEY CAN STAY IN EXISTENCE AND WHERE WE THINK THIS PROGRAM MIGHT HELP, UM, WOULD BE IN THE AREA OF, UH, FOOD AND BEVERAGE.

SO, UM, I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO DATE THEMSELVES, BUT, UH, IF YOU THINK OF THE COLONY CLUB, IF YOU THINK OF KING COLE, IF YOU THINK OF THE TROPICS, UM, EVEN, UH, DOMINIC'S THE OAKLAND CLUB EXISTS TODAY, THESE ARE RESTAURANTS THAT DRAW PEOPLE TO THEM FROM ALL OVER THE AREA FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE TO MAKE

[01:00:01]

AN EVENING AND AN EVENT OF THAT PARTICULAR NIGHT AT THAT PARTICULAR ESTABLISHMENT.

SO, UM, THAT WOULD BE KIND OF OUR THOUGHT ON HOW THIS PROGRAM COULD BE USED, UM, BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO DRAW PEOPLE INTO OUR COMMUNITY AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE HERE FOR A WHILE, THAT THEY ARE CONTRIBUTING TO OUR ECONOMY IN A POSITIVE AND HELPFUL WAY.

SO IN SHORT, UM, TO SUMMARIZE, UH, AGAIN, I'LL SPARE YOU ALL OF THE VERBIAGE OF THE TOP OF THIS SLIDE, BUT ONLY TO SAY THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, UH, IS SIMILAR TO ROME.

UH, IT WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY, UH, BUT IT'S DIFFER OVER A THOUSAND YEARS.

AND SO, UH, WE WERE WORKING HARD STAFF AND I ARE WORKING HARD, UH, AND THE CITY MANAGERS EMPOWERING US TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO, UH, TO PUT IN PLACE A GOOD SOLID FOUNDATION TO MAKE SURE THAT AS WE GO FORWARD, UH, WE HAVE A GOOD STRONG STABLE ECONOMY, AND THAT WE HAVE GOOD PROGRAMS HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE QUALITY OF LIFE BEING OFFERED TO BOTH OUR CORPORATE, UM, AND, UM, AND, UM, OUR CORPORATE RESIDENTS, UH, AND OUR CITIZENS, UM, IS GOING TO BE AMONG THE BEST IN THE MIAMI VALLEY.

AND SO, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING VERY HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT ALL THE RESOURCES LINED UP AND HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO COME.

SO IN SHORT, THAT IS, UH, OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY.

UH, THAT IS THE PLAN THAT WE'VE PUT TOGETHER, THAT WE ARE CONTINUING TO FINE TUNE.

UH, AND, UH, WITH THAT, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, UH, THAT THE COUNCIL MIGHT HAVE ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR BRIAN? YEAH.

AGAIN, NO QUESTIONS.

I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT THAT, UH, I APPRECIATE THE WORK PUT IN BY BEST BUY ON THIS BY BRIAN AND, AND THE REST OF THE STAFF.

I THINK THE INCENTIVES ARE INVENTIVE, AND I REALLY LIKED THE FACADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IDEA.

THAT SOUNDS REALLY GOOD, ESPECIALLY IN PARTICULAR PARTS OF THAT, OF, UH, HUBER HEIGHTS.

UM, AND, UH, I GUESS THE ONLY REAL QUESTION I HAD WAS, UH, IN YOUR LIST OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF BUSINESSES, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE ONES THAT WERE MORE ON THE LEFT OF THE RIGHT COLUMN ON THE ONE SLIDE, UM, LEAN MORE TOWARDS MANUFACTURING, LOGISTICS TYPE BUSINESSES.

HOW ARE WE GOING, LIKE THROUGH TRADE MAGAZINES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE TO TRY TO LOOK FOR THOSE OR FIND THIS? I THINK THOSE WERE THE ONES I BELIEVE WOULD BE OUR HIGHEST FOCUS.

SURE.

SO, UM, TO, TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION, WE'RE, WE'RE GOING ABOUT IT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS.

UM, SO ONE, UM, UH, WE TALKED ABOUT, UM, EARLY IN THE PRESENTATION, WE TALKED ABOUT A PROPOSAL RECENTLY RECEIVED FROM SB FRIEDMAN FOR OUR SWOT ANALYSIS.

AND SO THAT'S FOR US TO DETERMINE, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS OUR CAPACITY IN SOME OF THESE, IN SOME OF THESE MARKETS IN PARTICULAR, UH, LOGISTICS AND INDUSTRIAL, WHERE TWO OF THE MARKETS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE SB FRIEDMAN STUDY.

SO, UH, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO BRING ON? SO WE NEED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THAT.

SO WE DON'T WIND UP IN AND OVERSELL OURSELVES, UM, INTO, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING TO BETTER UNDERSTAND, UH, WHAT THE LOCAL MARKET IS.

SO TODAY, FOR INSTANCE, UH, STAFF AND I JUST MET WITH, UH, REPRESENTATIVES FROM UDRA FAST LANE, SO THAT WE COULD TALK TO THEM ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE SEEING, SOME OF THE THINGS THEY'RE HEARING IN THE MARKET WITH RESPECT TO, UH, YOU KNOW, INDUSTRIAL, UH, SUSTAINABILITY, UM, YOU KNOW, INDUSTRIAL GROWTH, UH, AND STABILITY, UH, IN THE CURRENT MARKET, AS WELL AS, UH, GET SOME GUIDANCE FROM THEM ON WHO ELSE WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TALK TO TO BETTER UNDERSTAND.

SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO BUILD THOSE RELATIONSHIPS, MR. OTTO, AND, UH, UM, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY GOING TO BE THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR, MAYBE EVEN AT THE FIRST PART OF NEXT YEAR.

AND THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT DOING OUR BEST TO TRY AND ENTICE PEOPLE TO, TO BE HERE.

UM, YOU KNOW, WE ARE WORKING ON A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS AS I NOTED EARLIER.

UH, BUT, UH, RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST GOING OUT TO TRY AND UNDERSTAND, UH, WHAT THE MARKET MEANS FOR THOSE INDUSTRIAL USERS.

WHAT ARE THEY SEEING, UM, YOU KNOW, IS THERE A REALLY AN OPPORTUNITY OUT THERE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOME OF THE STATE INCENTIVES, UH, AND THE STATE PROGRAMS THROUGH JOBS, OHIO, UM, IN THOSE SEGMENTS, BECAUSE, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S GREAT THAT WE COULD GET A GRANT TO FUND A 50% OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SPECULATIVE BUILDING.

BUT, UM, IF, YOU KNOW, ON THE PRIVATE SIDE OF THE HOUSE, MOST MANUFACTURERS ARE SAYING, HEY, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST KINDA WANNA, YOU KNOW, TIGHTEN UP WHAT WE'VE GOT AND JUST STAY WHERE WE ARE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS THEN, THEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THOSE GRANTS.

IS IT REALLY A BENEFIT TO US THAT IT ACTUALLY COULD BE A LIABILITY? SO WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT'S OUT ON THE MARKET.

UM, IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.

ABSOLUTELY.

AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EFFORT YOU PUT IN, AND IF YOU COULD PASS ALONG MY APPRECIATION TO EVERYONE ELSE WORKING ON THIS.

OH, MR. WEBB, UM, BRIAN, I WAS KIND OF SHOCKED TO SEE ALL THE NUMBERS, NUMBER ONE, UM, DESIRABLE, UH, BEING SKILLED WORKFORCE, UH, ONLY BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED THAT TO BE MORE OF A REGIONAL OR AT LEAST A, UH, A BROADER AREA, A REQUIREMENT.

APPRECIATE THAT.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS? UM,

[01:05:01]

AND, UM, UH, SO, UM, I THINK THERE'S A PERCEPTION THAT, HEY, WE'VE GOT CHUNKS OF LAND HERE, UM, COME ON OVER AND BUILD YOUR NEW PLAN OR YOUR NEW STORE.

UH, BUT YOU'VE ACTUALLY IDENTIFIED THE, UM, UH, PRIMARY ASSETS FOR OUR COMMUNITY WOULD BE TO HAVE A, UM, INCREASED SKILLED WORKFORCE.

I MEAN, IT IS NOT THE ONLY RIGHT.

I MEAN, IT'S NUMBER ONE, IT'S THE DESIRED NUMBER ONE FOR A, FOR CORPORATE SITES OF LIKE THIS, BUT IT'S NOT THE ONLY COMPONENT.

AND SO, UM, YOU KNOW, COLLECTIVELY THE REGION IS WORKING ON THIS, YOU KNOW, CLARK STATE ST.

CLAIRE WE'VE MET WITH BOTH OF THEM.

UDRA WHO I MENTIONED EARLIER.

THEY'RE ALL PUSHING, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, PROGRAMS TO HELP, BETTER DEVELOP A WORKFORCE.

UM, WE'VE BEEN REFERRED TO A COUPLE OF OTHER AGENCIES, UM, AS WELL, UM, THROUGH TODAY'S MEETING, UH, THAT ARE ALSO WORKING UPON ON DEVELOPING A BETTER QUALIFIED WORKING WITH OUR LARGER QUALIFIED WORKFORCE IS PROBABLY THE BETTER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT.

UM, I THINK WE BENEFIT FROM THAT IN BOTH WAYS, RIGHT.

WE, WE BENEFIT FROM HAVING A LARGER QUALIFIED WORKFORCE, UM, IN THE REGION, RIGHT? I MEAN, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LIVE WHERE THEY USED TO LIVE FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS.

HOWEVER, UM, IF WE CAN RETAIN OR DEVELOP THAT WORKFORCE HERE, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S A RECRUITMENT, IT'S A RECRUITMENT FOR BUSINESSES TO, TO KNOW THAT THEIR WORKFORCE LIVES CLOSER.

RYAN, IT'S, IT'S EASIER TO GET TO WORK, UH, ON TIME, UH, REGULARLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT A FIVE MINUTE COMMUTE ON A 50 MINUTE COMMUTE, UH, WE HAVE AN APPROPRIATE, UH, INCOME TAX STRUCTURE HERE, UM, WHERE, UM, EVEN IF OUR WORKFORCE, OUR QUALIFIED WORKFORCE MAYBE WORKS SOMEWHERE ELSE, UM, WITHIN THE REGION, UH, WE STILL HAVE AN ABILITY TO COLLECT INCOME TAX FROM THEM.

AND IN FACT, THAT THE MATTER IS, IS THAT IT INCREASES THEIR DISPOSABLE INCOME.

AND SO, UH, EVEN IF THEY WORK SOMEWHERE ELSE AND THEY, THEY, THEY LIVE HERE.

UH, WE STILL BENEFIT FROM THAT.

SO, UM, WHILE A QUALIFIED WORKFORCE IS MORE OF A REGIONAL ASPECT, IT IS MORE OF A REGIONAL, UH, ISSUE, UM, US BEING A COMMUNITY THAT CAN FOCUS RESOURCES ON IT.

I THINK IN THE LONG RUN BENEFITS US MORE SO THAN IT WOULD, UM, SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE REGION.

IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

IT DOES.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU'VE PUT INTO THIS.

THAT WAS THEIR ENLIGHTENING.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION, BRIAN, YOU WANT TO UNSHARE YOUR SCREEN THERE? OH, YES.

I'M SORRY.

MY APOLOGIES.

UH, MR. SHAW, UH, YES, I'VE ACTUALLY GOT AN UPDATE ON THAT ON A PREVIOUS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISCUSSION.

IT TOOK PLACE AT OUR LAST COUNCIL MEETING, UH, ONCE WE'RE DONE WITH BRIAN'S DISCUSSION.

MR. CAMPBELL? YES.

BRIAN, DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA WHEN WE'LL SEE THE FIRST PROJECT, UM, THE LAYMAN FARM OR, UM, YES.

ON THE LAYMAN.

UM, AT THIS POINT, I DON'T WANT TO SPECULATE, SIR.

UM, I CAN TELL YOU THAT.

I THINK WE'LL GET SOME GOOD FEEDBACK FROM THE THREE INTERESTED PARTIES WITHIN THE NEXT 45 TO 60 DAYS.

UM, AND WE'D BE ABLE TO, I'D BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A BETTER JUDGMENT THAN, BUT, UH, JUST SAY RIGHT NOW, I'LL, WE'LL, WE'LL SEE SOME DIRT IN, IN JANUARY, I THINK IS PREMATURE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

BUT I THINK IF WE WAIT A LITTLE WHILE LONGER, WE'LL, WE'LL GET SOME MORE DEFINITIVE INFORMATION, CORRECT.

ONCE WE CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT, FOR INSTANCE, THESE TWO MULTIFAMILY, UM, THESE TWO MULTIFAMILY PARTIES THAT WE'RE TALKING WITH THIS SPECIALTY MANUFACTURER, OR ASSUMING YOU HAD THE SPECIALTY MANUFACTURER THAT WE'RE TALKING TO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE MET WITH THEM AND WE'VE EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT AND NEED.

AND SO NOW THEY'VE TAKEN THAT BACK AND THEY'RE CRUNCHING THEIR NUMBERS.

SO WE JUST NEED THEM TO COME BACK AND SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, YEAH, WE THINK WE CAN MAKE SOMETHING WORK.

WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOME MORE HELP OR NO, THIS JUST ISN'T GOING TO WORK FOR US.

SO WE'RE HOPING TO GET THOSE RESPONSES HERE, LIKE I SAID, IN THE NEXT 45

[01:10:01]

DAYS OR SO.

UM, AND THEN ONCE WE HEAR BACK FROM THEM, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'LL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU, HEY, WE GOTTA MAKE IT WORK A LITTLE WHILE.

SO I, YOU KNOW, SECOND QUARTER 2021, THEY THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD DEAL.

WE COULD PROBABLY GET A DEAL DONE FIRST QUARTER OF 2021.

UM, THAT THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE AT AT THIS POINT.

I'M SORRY, MR. THANK YOU.

SURE.

UM, I HAVE A QUESTION, UH, BRIAN, ON YOUR CHART, I THINK IT WAS PRIMARY A PRIORITY TO, UH, YOU TALKED ABOUT TARGETED RECRUITMENT AND MARKET DATA AND, UM, THE WANTS OF THE CITY ARE, ARE, ARE USED, UH, FOR THAT.

UH, HOW DO YOU DETERMINE THE WANTS OF THE CITY AND WHAT'S HARD TARGETED DATA MARKET DATA.

ARE YOU SPECIFICALLY USING? SURE.

SO, UM, FOR INSTANCE, UM, LET'S SAY THAT, UM, LET'S SAY THAT THERE'S A, UM, A MANUFACTURER OF, UH, UH, BRAKE ASSEMBLIES JUST FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS DISCUSSION.

SO THOSE BRICK ASSEMBLIES HAVE COMPONENTS THAT GO INTO THEM.

UM, AND SO THERE ARE TIERED SUPPLIERS TO OUR MANUFACTURER HERE.

AND SO BASED ON, LET'S SAY, UH, THROUGH COUNCIL DISCUSSION, UM, YOU WANT TO SEE GROWTH IN A PARTICULAR SOCIOECONOMIC SEGMENT.

UH, YOU WANT TO SEE GROWTH IN A PARTICULAR AREA OF THE CITY.

UH, WE WOULD THEN GO OUT AND TARGET THOSE SUB TIER SUPPLIERS TO OUR PRINCIPLE BRAKE ASSEMBLY MANUFACTURER.

SO WE'RE LOOKING TO TRY AND IMPROVE THE, UM, THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR EXISTING MANUFACTURER TRYING TO MEET THEIR NEEDS.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE ARE LOOKING AT VERY TARGETED SEGMENTS OF, YOU KNOW, AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING, UM, TO HELP, UH, FOR A VERY SPECIFIC AND INTENDED PURPOSE, NOT ONLY TO HELP OUR EXISTING BUSINESS, BUT ALSO TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY IN THE WAYS THAT COUNCIL WOULD LIKE US TO DO THAT.

AND SO WE'RE STILL A LITTLE BIT OFF FROM BEING IN A POSITION WHERE WE CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AND SAY, OKAY, HEY COUNSEL, UH, EXACTLY.

UH, WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MORE EFFORT, YOU KNOW, MORE ENERGY, MORE RESOURCES PUT INTO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT? UM, I THINK WE'LL GET A GOOD SENSE OF WHAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT ONCE WE START GETTING OUR CENSUS DATA BACK THAT WILL TELL US QUITE A BIT, I THINK, UH, AND SO, UM, THERE'S STILL SOME MORE CONVERSATION TO BE HAD.

THERE'S STILL SOME MORE VETTING THROUGH THIS PROCESS, BUT BEFORE WE GOT TOO FAR DOWN THE ROAD AND SUDDENLY POPPED UP AT, UH, AT A MEETING, YOU KNOW, TWO MONTHS FROM NOW AND ASKED FOR, YOU KNOW, $300,000 FOR THESE, THESE, YOU KNOW, INCENTIVES AND, AND, YOU KNOW, UH, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T WANT COUNCIL TO BE CAUGHT OFF GUARD AND SAY, WELL, HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHY ARE YOU ASKING FOR THIS? BUT WHAT BENEFIT DOES THIS BRING? WHY DO YOU NEED THIS MONEY? SO WE WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT WE WERE WORKING ON AND WHERE WE WERE HEADED.

SO I'M STILL A BIT DOWN THE PATH.

UM, BUT THAT IS ONE PATH THAT WE CAN GO THAT TARGETED RECRUITMENT, UM, AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ALIGNING OURSELVES WITH BOTH WHAT OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS, UH, BOTH FROM AN ECONOMIC STANDPOINT, FROM AN ECONOMY STANDPOINT, AS WELL AS FROM A POLITICAL STANDPOINT FROM, FROM COUNCIL'S PERSPECTIVE.

UH, YES, THANK YOU.

UH, THE LAYMAN FARM, UH, ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SHOWING SOME INTEREST IN IT, IS THAT, UM, AT ALL IN THE AREA WHERE YOU, WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING TO OUR, WE ARE INVESTING MONEY IN THE BARN, UM, THE SPECIFIC AREA THAT THEY'VE LOCATED OR THAT THEY'VE IDENTIFIED, UM, ON THAT PROPERTY IS NOT CURRENTLY WHERE THE BARN FACILITY IS LOCATED.

UH, BUT THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT BASED ON, UM, BASED ON, YOU KNOW, FURTHER CONVERSATIONS WITH FURTHER DISCUSSION THAT MIGHT CHANGE.

BUT AT THIS POINT IN THE BARN WOULD BE A FACILITY.

IT WOULD BE A STRUCTURE THAT WE WOULD SEE IT AT LEAST IN USE THROUGH 2021 BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW TODAY.

MORE SO THAN IT IS ANYTHING ELSE.

THAT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF MONEY FOR SHORT TERM USE.

UH, SINCE WE HAVE PEOPLE LOOKING AT IT, BUT, YOU KNOW, AT SOME POINT, UM, THERE OUGHT TO BE A POINT IDENTIFIED AT WHICH WE KIND OF, UM, YOU KNOW, ARE, ARE CAUTIOUS ABOUT INVESTING MORE MONEY INTO IT BECAUSE THE PROSPECTS OF IT, UH, TURNING INTO SOMETHING ELSE, YOU KNOW, LOOK MORE POSITIVE.

AND, AND I AGREE THAT THERE IS A COST BENEFIT THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE THERE.

UM, AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE CONCEPT OF THE BARN IS REALLY THAT OF A MARKETING AND ADVERTISING TOOL,

[01:15:01]

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT, UH, THE BUDGET OF THE CITY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN MARKETING AND ADVERTISING, AT LEAST AT THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMPONENT, UH, OF THE BUDGET, YOU KNOW, WE SPEND RIGHT AROUND A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS EVERY YEAR.

AND WE DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE VIEW OUR AD ON, YOU KNOW, THE DAYTON DAILY OR WHO VIEWS OUR ADS IN THE DAYTON BUSINESS JOURNAL.

BUT WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN PHYSICALLY STAND AT THE BARN AND DURING ONE OF THESE EVENTS, WE CAN COUNT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE THERE.

WE CAN SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE, UM, ARE, ARE PRESENT IN OUR COMMUNITY.

NOW, MAYBE THEY MIGHT BE FROM OUR COMMUNITY ALREADY.

AND THEY JUST DIDN'T REALIZE HOW FORWARD THINKING AND PROGRESSIVE WE ARE.

AND WHEN IT COMES TO, UH, YOU KNOW, INNOVATIVE CONCEPTS, OR MAYBE THEY'RE NOT FROM OUR COMMUNITY, AND THEY'VE NEVER BEEN TO OUR COMMUNITY BEFORE, AND THEY CAN SEE THAT AS WELL.

UH, BUT YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL BUDGET THAT WE'VE PIECED TOGETHER FOR THIS, I THINK THE TOTAL OPERATING BUDGET IS LESS THAN $30,000 TO RUN THIS, UH, FACILITY FROM LABOR DAY, OR EXCUSE ME FROM MEMORIAL DAY TO LABOR DAY.

SO IF YOU AMORTIZE OUT OUR EXPENSE TO PUT THIS TOGETHER IN 2020 AND RUN IT THROUGH 2021, I THINK YOU'RE LOOKING AT AN OVERALL INVESTMENT THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE LESS THAN OUR TRADITIONAL ADVERTISING AND MARKETING PACKAGES, UM, OVER ANY 24 MONTH PERIOD PREVIOUSLY.

SO, UH, I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN IS BIRDS AND THAT'S NOT LOST ON ME.

UH, BUT, BUT WE TRIED TO BE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT THAT WHEN WE PUT THIS CONCEPT TOGETHER, UM, AND PRESENTED THAT TO THE CITY MANAGER.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, MR. CAMPBELL, YOU HAVE YOUR HAND UP? I HAVE NOTHING ELSE.

UM, BRIAN, UH, PREVIOUSLY I KNOW WE HAD HAD SOME DISCUSSION ON, UM, YOU KNOW, A BUSINESS INCUBATOR AND I THINK WE ARE, WE ARE W WE, WE GOT TO BE THERE IF NOT READY TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON SOME SORT OF RETAIL LAB AS AIG FERGUSON HAS DONE DOWN IN THE CITY OF DAYTON.

UM, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A HUGE WAY TO MOVE US FORWARD.

YOUR ENTIRE PRESENTATION REALLY OUTLINED IN MY OPINION, THE, THE BLUEPRINTS OF WHAT AN INCUBATOR IN A BUSINESS TYPE VENTURE WOULD DO FOR OUR AREA AND THAT PROPERTY AND OUR GROWTH, UM, HAS CITY STAFF DISCUSSED THE, UH, YOU KNOW, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A BUSINESS INCUBATOR, WHAT IT COULD DO FOR THE CITY, WORKING WITH DAYTON DEVELOPMENT COALITION ON SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.

UM, YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT, MR. SHAW, IT'S NOT A DISCUSSION THAT WE HAVE HAD DIRECTLY.

UM, I THINK THAT IF YOU WERE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH MEMBERS OF STAFF, UM, AT LEAST MY STAFF ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SIDE, UH, I THINK WE ALL SEE AND UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF HAVING AN INCUBATOR.

UM, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO GO ABOUT PUTTING ONE OF THOSE TOGETHER AND HOW THEY CAN FUNCTION.

UM, I THINK IN LIGHT OF, UM, SEVERAL TRANSACTIONS THAT COUNCIL IS EITHER AUTHORIZED OR IS ABOUT TO AUTHORIZE WITH RESPECT TO, UH, FACILITIES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

I THINK ONCE THOSE TRANSACTIONS ARE COMPLETED, WE'LL HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT KIND OF RESOURCES WE MIGHT HAVE AVAILABLE, UH, FOR SESSION INCUBATOR SPACE AND WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

AND ONCE WE DO, WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND TALK ABOUT, UH, WHAT THOSE OPTIONS MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

UM, AND, AND TRYING TO MATERIALIZE THAT INTO THE MARKET AND WHETHER OR NOT, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT VISION THAT WE HAVE ON THE STAFF SIDE, UH, MATCHES WHAT COUNSEL HAS, UM, FROM, FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE IN A POLICY WAY.

AND IF WE CAN FIND SOME COMMON GROUND THERE, I, I THINK WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER, UH, THAT WOULD ADDRESS EVERYBODY'S NEEDS, BUT I THINK WE'VE JUST GOT TO GET, GET THROUGH SOME OF THESE NEXT COUPLE OF STEPS, UH, WITH REGARD TO UNDERSTANDING WHAT ARE OUR RESOURCES GOING TO BE IN THE BRICKS AND MORTAR CATEGORY.

AND ONCE WE GET THROUGH THAT, UM, I THINK WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE A GOOD DISCUSSION.

NO, I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT.

I KNOW THE MAYOR HAD SENT ME AN EMAIL IN HIS ABSENCE TO, TO BRING THAT TOPIC BACK UP.

UM, THAT IS A, UH, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I KNOW THAT THE DAYTON DEVELOPMENT COALITION, NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES, UM, AND A LOT OF COMMUNITIES WITHIN OML ARE REALLY LOOKING TO, AS WE KIND OF START THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX AND OUR AFTER COVID LOOK ON THE WAY THE JOB MARKET AND THE BRICK AND MORTAR BUSINESSES ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE REALLY TAPPING INTO THE, UH, COMMUNITY COLLEGE UNIVERSITIES AND THE ENTREPRENEURS, AS YOU HAD STATED IN YOUR PRESENTATION, UM, A BUSINESS INCUBATOR, A RETAIL LAB, HOWEVER, THAT MAY LOOK FOR OUR AREA, I THINK WOULD BE AMAZING AND BENEFICIAL, NOT ONLY FOR US, BUT BIG ONE FOR THE ENTIRE REGION.

BEFORE WE MOVE ON CASEY? NONE.

THANK YOU, MR. SHAW.

UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS

[01:20:01]

UM, THE ITEM IS THREE K

[ Liquor Permit #5132449 – La Michoacana Mexican Market – 6220 Chambersburg Road]

I LIQUOR PERMIT FOR ALUM MIGUEL MICKEY CHICANA MEXICAN MARKET.

UH, THIS IS, UM, MR. ROGERS.

YES, WE HAVE A NEW LIQUOR PERMIT APPLICATION FROM LA VICKIE CADA, MEXICAN MARKET, 62 20 CHAMBERSBURG ROAD.

THIS IS IN THE HUBER CENTER.

UM, I THINK SOME OF YOU WERE UP THERE FOR THE RIBBON CUTTING THAT TOOK PLACE RECENTLY.

UH, THEY'RE LOOKING TO, UH, START SELLING ALCOHOL FROM THAT ESTABLISHMENT AND, UH, AS PART OF THE MARKET.

AND, UM, SO THEY'VE SUBMITTED THIS REQUEST, AS I SAID, IT IS A NEW REQUEST FOR A NEW LIQUOR PREVENT.

UM, THE APPLICATION HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY THE FIRE AND POLICE DIVISIONS AND THEY HAVE NO OBJECTIONS TO THE APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION.

SO WITH COUNSEL'S PERMISSION, WE'D LIKE TO SEE A MOTION ON THE AGENDA ON MONDAY TO, UH, APPROVE THIS APPLICATION.

SEEING NO OBJECTIONS OR EXPECT TO SEE IT.

UH, THREE L UH, MY MOVIE, MIAMI VALLEY, REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION, REGIONAL EQUITY INITIATIVE, UH, PRESENTATION, UM, THIS BRIEFING, UH, TONY, YOU GONNA PUT IT UP? UM, I DID NOT HAVE IT AVAILABLE ON THIS COMPUTER.

UM, I AM,

[ MVRPC Regional Equity Initiative Presentation]

I WASN'T PREPARED TO DO THAT, BUT LET ME LOOK FOR IT.

WELL, TONY'S LOOKING TO PUT IT UP, UH, I GUESS SOME BACKGROUND ON IT.

UM, THE BRIEFING IS A RESULT OF DISCUSSIONS AT THE AUGUST.

UM, MIAMI VALLEY, REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING WE'RE IN THE DIRECTOR, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MADE TO REQUEST.

UM, HE HAD PRESENTED A DRAFT RESOLUTION ADVOCATING RACIAL EQUALITY EQUALITY WITHIN THE MIAMI VALLEY, AND HE ASKED THE BOARD MEMBERS TO, TO APPROVE THAT DRAFT RESOLUTION, UH, PLEDGING THEIR SUPPORT FOR WHAT MBR PC WANTS TO DO.

HE ALSO REQUESTED AS HAS GOVERNOR DEWINE THAT THE 30 PLUS COMMUNITIES THAT MAKE UP THE MV RPC, UH, PASSED SIMILAR RESOLUTIONS PROMOTING, UH, RACIAL EQUALITY.

UH, THAT PARTICULAR VOTE WAS TABLED UNTIL OCTOBER 1ST TO ALLOW, UH, EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO GO BACK TO THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES AND, UH, AND GET THEIR, UH, COUNCIL'S, UH, FEELINGS ON WHETHER THEY WANT TO PLEDGE YOUR, TO, UM, MDR PC, AND, UM, AND TO DECIDE, YOU KNOW, HOW THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS GOING TO VOTE.

AND AS THE CITY REPRESENTATIVE ON THE BOARD FOR, UH, MD RPC, I'M BRINGING THIS TO YOU BECAUSE I HAVE TO CAST THAT VOTE, UH, THAT REPRESENTS THE MAJORITY OF OPINION OF OUR COUNCIL, UH, AND THE CITIZENS THAT WE REPRESENT, UM, ON THIS ISSUE SAYING CAN'T DISPLAY.

HMM, WELL, I CAN KEEP ON GOING BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT THE BRIEFING AND, AND I'LL JUST, UH, AS A BACKGROUND ON, UH, MVR, HOW MCRPC HAS ADVOCATED THE ADVANCEMENT OF REACHING ALL EQUITY, UM, AND J AND JULY OF 2017, THEY W THEY PUBLISHED THE MIAMI VALLEY EQUITY REGION PROFILE THAT CITED A HISTORY OF SEGREGATION AND RACISM, AND OCTOBER OF 2017, THEY LAUNCHED THE MIAMI VALLEY EQUITY INITIATIVE.

AND, UM, LATER IN 2019, AND THE RPC LAUNCHED THE INSTITUTE FOR LIVABLE AND EQUITABLE, EQUITABLE COMMUNITIES.

UM, AND IN THIS YEAR EARLIER THIS YEAR, THEY HAD THEIR FIRST MEETING OF THE REGIONAL EQUITY INITIATIVE, AND THEY WERE CHARGED WITH DEVELOPING STRATEGIES AND FUNDING INITIATIVES THAT REDUCE RACISM AND INCREASE ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL.

AND MOST RECENTLY THEY JUST HIRED A REGIONAL EQUITY INITIATIVE MANAGER.

UM, AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THE SAME LEVEL OF COMMITMENT

[01:25:01]

TO REGIONAL EQUITY, UH, THAT WE, THAT THE REGION EXERTED AND DEALING WITH THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC.

CAN YOU SAY THAT, UH, OKAY.

UM, I'LL KEEP GOING TONY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SLIDES.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON.

THAT YOU'LL, UH, BRING ANY NECESSARY AMENDMENTS OR CHANGES, UM, AND VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE.

UH, THEY HIRED A GENTLEMAN FROM WASHINGTON, D C WHO HAS AN EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND IN EQUITY INITIATIVES, AND HE'S GOING TO LEAD MCRPC AND MEETING THEIR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES THROUGH THE VARIOUS FORUMS THAT I JUST MENTIONED.

UM, AND MR. ELEY WILL BE AVAILABLE TO HELP ALL MEMBERS COMMUNITIES IN AN ADVISORY CAPACITY WITH THEIR INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVES, COMMITTEES, ET CETERA.

IF, IF THEY'RE REQUESTED TO HELP, UM, MIAMI VALLEY, REGIONAL PLANNING, EMISSIONS, REGIONAL EQUITY RESOLUTION, THEIR GOAL IS TO ENSURE EQUITY, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION, AND ALL OF THEIR ACTIONS AND POLICIES GENERATED BY THEIR STAFF COMMITTEES AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

THESE ARE PRIMARILY INTERNAL PROCESSES.

UM, THEY ARE ASKING THE COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT THEM IN ADVANCING THEIR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.

SO THE, THE COMMUNITY, YEAH, IT SHOULDN'T, IT'S REQUESTED BY MVR PC IS, UM, THEY'VE ASKED THAT WE REACH AGREEMENT ON A VOTE ON MBRP C'S RESOLUTION, WHICH IS TO BE CAST ON OCTOBER 1ST, 2020 AT THE BOARD MEETING.

AND THEY ALSO ASK THAT, UM, UH, EACH COMMUNITY, UH, HAVE THEIR OWN RESOLUTION AND TAILOR IT TO, UM, THEIR COMMITMENT TO, UH, ADDRESSING EQUITABLE AND, UH, EQUITABLE AND LIVING LIVABLE COMMUNITIES.

SO, UM, WHERE ARE WE STAND ON? THIS IS, UH, I NEED MY ASK OF THE COUNCIL IS THAT, UM, WE COME TO AN AGREEMENT, UH, THAT I CAN TAKE A VOTE THAT I CAN TAKE BACK TO THE OCTOBER 1ST MEETING ON WHETHER OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORTS MIAMI VALLEY, REGIONAL PLANNING, COMMISSIONS RESOLUTION.

AND AS FAR AS THE RESOLUTION FOR HUBER HEIGHTS IS CONCERNED, I BELIEVE THAT THAT BELONGS IN, IN THE HANDS OF THE, UM, UM, CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CITIZENS ACTION COMMISSION.

AND, UM, I'VE SPOKEN WITH REPRESENTATIVE ON THAT COMMISSION AND, UH, THEY'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS PRESENTATION AND THEY WILL DECIDE, AND, UH, THEY'LL HAVE A DISCUSSION ON THIS MATTER AT THEIR MEETING THIS MONTH.

AND IF THEY DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH DRAFTING A RESOLUTION, THEN THEY WILL DO THAT AND BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL FOR OUR REVIEW AND HOPEFULLY APPROVAL, UH, FOR, UM, THE RESOLUTION APPLYING TO HUBER HEIGHTS SPECIFICALLY.

UH, THAT'S THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON THIS.

SO, UM, I SEE MR. CAMPBELL'S HAND UP.

UH, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YES.

UH, NANCY, UH, ARE YOU CONSIDERING ANY AMENDMENTS TO WHATEVER THE LANGUAGE IS THAT'S PRESENTED? UM, ACTUALLY THERE IS, THERE'S REALLY THE LANGUAGE THAT WE ARE REALLY SEARCHING FOR IS JUST AN AGREEMENT THAT HUBER HEIGHTS HAS A MEMBER OF THE MVA RPC SUPPORTS, UH, THE REGIONAL PLAN COMMISSIONS RESOLUTION FOR THE STRATEGY THAT THEY HAVE MOVING FORWARD TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES.

AND IT'S A PRETTY COMPLICATED ISSUE.

WELL, IT IS A COMPLICATED ISSUE AND, AND, YOU KNOW, NANCY HAS, AS FAR AS YOUR POSITION ON THE MVR PC, I'M SURE.

UM, MY COLLEAGUES WOULD JOIN ME IN SUPPORTING YOUR DECISION WHEN YOU REPRESENT US DURING THE DISCUSSION AND THE ACTIONS AT THE MVR PC, UH, REGARDING THE POLICY AND THE RESOLUTION, UM, AS YOU WERE APPOINTED TO REPRESENT US, I AM STILL COMMITTED THAT YOU'RE THE RIGHT PERSON AND

[01:30:01]

YES, WELL, I, I WILL VOTE MY CONSCIOUS, BUT, UM, WELL, AND, AND, AND I HOPE THAT YOU, YOU, YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE DISCUSSION AND THE DRAFTING AND THE CHANGES, UH, BECAUSE THIS SOUNDS LIKE A REAL WORK IN PROGRESS TO ME.

AND THEN I TOLD, AND I'M TOTALLY CONFIDENT THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO, UH, SATISFY, YOU KNOW, THE RESPONSIBILITY AS A, AS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF COUNCIL.

WELL, FOR ME TO GO BACK IN ON OCTOBER 1ST, WHEN WE LEFT THE LAST MEETING, THIS, THIS, UH, THIS RESOLUTION WAS PRETTY FROM THE WAY IT WAS.

NOW, THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT ON OCTOBER 1ST, THERE WON'T BE SOME, UH, RECOMMENDED CHANGES TO THE WORDING, BUT, UH, I'M ASKING FOR, TO GIVE ME SOME DIRECTION, I'M ASKING FOR COUNCIL TO, UH, TO VOTE TO, UM, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, WHATEVER THAT VOTE IS.

I TAKE IT BACK REGARDLESS OF MY PERSONAL FEELINGS.

AND I NEED TO KNOW HOW THE COUNCIL FEELS ON THIS, BECAUSE IF THERE ARE SOME AMENDMENTS, THEN I NEED TO BE ABLE TO, UH, RESPOND TO THEM ON THE SPOT AS THE REPRESENTATIVE, AND FEEL CONFIDENT THAT I HAVE THE BEST INTEREST OF EVERYONE ON COUNCIL AND THE CITY HUBER HEIGHTS.

SO I NEED A VOTE.

I NEED A VOTE, UH, FROM COUNCIL TELLING ME WHAT THE DIRECTION IS, AS WE'VE AGREED.

IT'S A COMPLICATED ISSUE.

THERE WILL BE CHANGES I'M SURE.

AND THAT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS WORKED OUT, PROBABLY WORKED OPS.

UH, BUT SO IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A LANGUAGE THAT POSSIBLY WOULD BE AMENDED NANCY, THEN WHAT ARE YOU ASKING US TO VOTE ON? I'M ASKING JUST SIMPLY, I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO, UH, TO SAY THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO WHAT MD RPC HAS PROPOSED IN THEIR RESOLUTION.

I'M ASKING US TO SUPPORT MBRP C'S STRATEGY, WHICH LIKE I SAID, IS PRIMARILY INTERNAL PROCESSES THAT THEY HAVE PUT OUT THERE TO LET US KNOW WHAT THEY INTEND TO DO IN THE FUTURE TO ADDRESS THESE COMPLICATED ISSUES THAT, THAT WE ARE STANDING IN SAYING, YEAH, WE, AS A MEMBER OF, MDRP SAY, GO AT IT.

YOU KNOW, WE, WE AGREE THAT, UH, YOU'VE GOT A STRATEGY SET UP, YOU HAVE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, AND WE SUPPORT THOSE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, UM, IT'S, IT'S JUST OUR SUPPORT.

IT'S NOT SAYING THAT, THAT, UM, WE AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THAT DOCUMENT.

THAT IS THEIR RESOLUTION.

WE WILL HAVE OUR OWN RESOLUTION IF THAT'S THE DECISION OF OUR CULTURAL AND DIVERSITY, UH, ACTION COMMITTEE, DON WEBB.

THANKS, NANCY.

UM, YEAH, THE, UM, UM, UH, I WOULD AGREE WITH MARK.

I THINK THAT, UH, COUNCIL WOULD, UM, SUPPORT THE DECISION YOU MAKE, UM, REGARDLESS, BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, UH, WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE, UH, MBR PC.

AND I ASKED, UM, WE, I FEEL COMFORTABLE IN SAYING WE WILL SUPPORT, UH, THE MBA PC.

AND AS MARK SAID, IT, IT PROBABLY WILL CHANGE A BIT, BUT, UM, UH, REGARDLESS ARE SUPPORTIVE IN THE RPC AND THEIR POLICIES IS, UM, I THINK PART AND PARCEL OF OUR MEMBERSHIP.

THE, UM, SECOND POINT THAT YOU MADE THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE HIGHLIGHTED IS I FEEL THAT WE ARE SOMEWHAT AHEAD OF THE CURVE WITH REGARD TO THE POLICIES THAT HUBER HEIGHTS HAS ALREADY PUT INTO PLACE.

SO, UH, LIKE OUR, UH, THE, THE NEW COMMISSION, UH, FOR, UM, OUR DIVERSITY COMMISSION, UH, I BELIEVE THAT THEY'LL COME FORWARD WITH THIS AND MANY OTHER GREAT IDEAS, UM, THAT THE COUNCIL WILL BE PRESENTED WITH.

SO NOW, UM, UM, FOR, UM, UM, YOUR,

[01:35:01]

UM, THOUGH WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE AT THE, THE RPC MEETING, THANK YOU.

UH, THERE'S FIVE POINTS THAT TONY HAS GOTTEN UP HERE, AND THAT IS THE GIST OF THEIR RESOLUTION.

AND I GUESS THAT I WOULD HAVE TO ASK, UH, WHAT ANYBODY HAS A PROBLEM WITH AND ANY OF THOSE FIVE POINTS THAT WOULD KEEP US FROM, UM, STEPPING FORWARD AND SAYING THAT WE SUPPORT A AND B RPC IN THEIR, UH, GOAL OF, OF ACHIEVING THESE IMPROVEMENTS.

I SEE IF I'M NOT SEEING A HAND, UH, RICHARD, I MEAN, UH, DON, YOU STILL HAVE YOUR HAND UP.

MR. OTTO HAS HIS HAND UP.

I'M NOT SEEING OTTO, MR. OTTO, SORRY.

I HAD TO GET THE MICROPHONE.

UM, NO, I, I WOULD SAY, UH, I AM ABSOLUTELY 100% ON BOARD WITH AN EQUITY INITIATIVE, UM, BACKING WITH THE MCRPC.

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ISSUES WITH THAT AND READING THROUGH THE DOCUMENTS.

UM, WELL, LET ME BACK UP, UH, YOU ALREADY ADDRESSED ONE THING THAT I WAS GONNA ASK YOU ABOUT, AND THAT WAS THE BRINGING OF THIS TO OUR CULTURAL DIVERSITY COMMISSION.

I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT THEY GET HANDS ON IT AND EYES ON IT AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND SEE WHAT THEY LIKE AND DISLIKE ABOUT IT POSSIBLY.

UM, SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

UM, AND THEN THE ONLY QUESTION I REALLY HAVE IS IN READING THROUGH EVERYTHING, I DIDN'T REALLY SEE ANYTHING THAT APPEARED.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT THIS AND NOTHING APPEARED TRULY ACTIONABLE IN THERE.

UM, AND IF WE'RE LOOKING TO ADOPT SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE, WOULD WE BE LOOKING FOR SPECIFIC, ACTIONABLE ITEMS WITHIN SOME TYPE OF A PROPOSAL? UH, THAT WOULD BE UP TO THE, THE COMMISSION TO DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO ADDRESS THAT AND HOW THEY WANT TO ADDRESS THAT.

AND I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH US ABOUT THAT, YOU KNOW, IF THEY HAD ANY DOUBTS, BUT, UM, THEY HAVE, I THINK WE NEED TO GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND TO SEE WHAT THEY, WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

I MEAN, THEY MAY CHOOSE NOT TO DO ANYTHING, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, I WOULD BE VERY SURPRISED IF, YOU KNOW, IF THEY CHOSE TO NOT DO SOMETHING.

I'LL SAY JUST TO FINISH.

I HAVE NO QUALMS WITH THIS.

AND, UM, YOU KNOW, IF IT WERE A PART OF THE MV RPC, WE NEED TO SUPPORT THE MCRPC AND, UH, I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WITHIN THIS, THAT, THAT ME, ANY KIND OF HEARTBURN.

SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING.

THANK YOU, MR. SHAW.

WELL, THANK YOU.

UM, UH, I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH ALL THE COMMENTS.

UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, UM, WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS, UM, OR CHANGES COME FROM OUR CULTURE AND DIVERSITY COMMITTEE, UH, REGARDING THIS, UH, RESOLUTION, UM, AS PREVIOUSLY STATED OUR, OUR COMMUNITY IS, UM, UH, FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE MCRPC AND, UM, AND YOUR ACTIONS AND VOTES ON THAT COMMITTEE, UM, AS, UH, AS YOU SEE FIT.

UM, BUT I, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE LEGALLY HOW THOSE STANDARDS, IF THEY'RE LOOKING TO MIRROR THOSE RESOLUTIONS, AS YOU'VE ALLUDED TO ACTUALLY, UM, GOVERNOR DEWINE, UH, MADE THAT DECLARATION, HE MADE THAT DECLARATION JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

UM, JUST, OKAY.

JUST SO WHERE ARE WE, UH, ON THE SAME PAGE, RICHARD, THE, UM, THE, IF THE CULTURAL AND DIVERSITY, UM, COMMITTEE DECIDED TO TAKE THIS UP, IT WILL BE SEPARATE FROM THE MVR PCS.

THEY WILL DRAFT THEIR OWN.

SURE.

SO, SO IF THEY MAKE ANY CHANGES AS A RESULT AT THE RPC, AS A RESULT OF MEMBERS' INPUT, THEN, UM, THEN, YOU KNOW, I COULD, I COULD DEAL WITH THOSE ON THE SPOT, BUT IT'S TOTALLY SEPARATE FROM WHAT MIGHT BE DEVELOPED FOR OUR CITY.

AND LIKE WE STATED A MINUTE AGO, I THINK FROM DON ARE WAY OUT AHEAD OF SO MANY OTHER COMMUNITIES AND INITIATIVES THAT WE'VE TAKEN ACTIONS WE'VE TAKEN.

AND I THINK THAT IF, UM, IF WE HAD ONE DRAWN UP FOR OUR COMMUNITY, UM, IT WOULD, IT WOULD COME OUT VERY NICELY.

NO, I AGREE.

THE, THE ONLY, THE ONLY PART IN THOSE, THOSE FIVE POINTS THAT WAS RECENTLY SHOWN IS THE DECLARATION OF A PUBLIC EMERGENCY.

UM, I DON'T THINK WE AS A GOVERNMENT ENTITY, UM, HAVE THE LEGAL POWERS TO DESIGNATE A PUBLIC EMERGENCY, UM, REGARDING A HEALTH REASON.

UM, I THINK THOSE POWERS LIE WITHIN THE COUNTY AND THE STATE.

UM, I, I, AND THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY PART OF THAT I WOULD QUESTION, UM, UH, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, OBVIOUSLY WITH THE STATE OF EMERGENCY THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY IN WITH THE STATE AND, AND, AND FEDERAL LEVEL.

[01:40:01]

SO, UM, SINCE IT HASN'T BEEN STRUCK DOWN BY THE COURT YET, UM, I GUESS HE THINKS THAT, UH, HE CAN LEGALLY DO THAT.

UM, SO ANYWAY, UH, ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS? ALL RIGHT.

WELL, OKAY.

UH, KATE, HI.

UM, I DO AGREE WITH ALL THE COMMENTS THAT MY OTHER COUNTERPARTS HAVE STATED.

UM, I BELIEVE IN JUNE THE NAACP, BROADFORD VERY SPECIFIC, DETAILED METRICS OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY WANTED TO SEE LIKE BODY CAMERAS ON LAW ENFORCEMENT.

THAT WAS A VERY REASONABLE AND MEASURED INITIATIVE.

I DON'T SEE THE DETAIL IN THESE INITIATIVES.

I THINK THEY'RE GREAT IDEAS.

I JUST NEED MORE INFORMATION, MORE DETAILS.

SO NANCY, I TOTALLY TRUST YOUR JUDGMENT.

UM, THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS WHO'S GOING TO PAY, LIKE, I DON'T SEE THE MONEY PART FOR WHAT THEIR IDEAS ARE.

I SEE THEIR IDEAS, BUT I DON'T SEE THE DETAILS SLASH WHO'S PAYING FOR IT.

SO THAT'S, I'M ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY.

SO THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

UM, LIKE I SAID, THESE ARE MOSTLY INTERNAL INTERNAL POLICIES, AND I THINK WHAT THEY WERE DOING FROM THE DISCUSSION WAS JUST LAYING IT OUT ON THE TABLE.

SO EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEIR LONG RANGE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES WERE AND HOW THEY WERE GOING TO OPERATE TOWARDS MEETING THOSE.

AND, AND SO IF IT COMES DOWN TO MONEY, IT'S THEIR MONEY.

IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT OURS, BUT, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY.

BUT THEY, CAN'T YOUR TIME.

AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE LEAD AND DOING THIS WORK FOR US OR LEGWORK.

THANK YOU, MR. WEBB.

YEAH, I WILL JUST FOLLOW UP BRIEFLY ON THAT.

UH, YOU MENTIONED THAT, UM, THE MBRP RPC SPOKE PERSON DID SAY, UM, IN THE INTERVIEW THAT THE POLICIES LISTED THERE, UH, OR LARGELY INTERNAL, THEY WERE LOOKING AT CHANGES WITHIN THE MBRP DC, UH, THE ORGANIZATION ITSELF, FOR EXAMPLE, THE, UM, UH, TRYING TO DO AS MUCH, UM, EQUITABLE SOURCING AS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE MVR PC.

UM, SO THE CHANGES AS YOU, AS YOU LOOK DOWN THAT LIST, IF YOU DON'T SEE A LOT OF DETAIL TO, UM, MY FELLOW DOWN TO MAMBO, UH, K IF YOU DON'T SEE A LOT OF DETAIL, IT'S LARGELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT, UM, I THINK THEY STRUCTURED THIS AS AN INTERNAL DOCUMENT TO, AS A GUIDANCE FOR, UH, HOW THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION HAS MORE TO, UM, MOVE FORWARD.

AND I CAN ANSWER.

THANK YOU, DON.

KATHLEEN, DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER COMMENT? NO, I DID NOT, BUT THANK YOU.

I SEE SOME HANDS UP, MR. CAMPBELL.

UH, NANCY, JUST TO FOLLOW UP, BUT, SO DO YOU HAVE YOUR DIRECTION AFTER THE NIGHT'S DISCUSSION? UM, I, YEAH, I, I HAVE AN AGREEMENT I'D LIKE TO HAVE A BOAT THAT EVERYBODY SUPPORTS IT ON MONDAY.

I, I HAVEN'T HEARD ONE COUNCIL MEMBER SAY THEY DON'T HAVE FULL FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN YOUR DECISION.

AND, AND I THINK YOU'VE DONE A, DONE A GOOD JOB REPRESENTING US.

AND, UH, I THINK WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE NVR PC, AND I APPRECIATE THE UPDATE.

I APPRECIATE IT.

AND IN MY, UM, I THINK THIS IS MY THIRD YEAR WITH MBRP PC.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT AN ISSUE LIKE THIS HAS ARISEN AND, UH, I FELT COMPELLED TO BRING IT TO THE COUNCIL BECAUSE I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT IT WAS MY INDIVIDUAL OPINION OR VOTE TO MAKE.

SO I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S INPUT IN THIS DISCUSSION, AND I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT I CAN GO BACK AND REPRESENT, UH, OUR CITY, UH, HOWEVER, HOWEVER, CHANGES, WHATEVER CHANGES THEY MAY, UH, PUT ON THERE.

SO I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S SUPPORT

[01:45:06]

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE NEEDING AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

TONY, HOW ARE WE LABELING THIS? ABSOLUTELY.

THERE'S TONY, IF YOU WANT ME TO, THERE'S ACTUALLY THREE REASONS.

UM, WAIT A MINUTE, SIR.

I NEED A NUMBER FIRST.

I THINK FOR IT.

IS IT A, IS IT A 3:00 AM TONY? UH, IT WOULD JUST, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE A NUMBER, CAUSE THIS IS AN ACTION.

THAT'S COME UP AFTER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTED.

SO GO AHEAD, MR. SHELMAR.

THE, UH, THE FIRST WOULD BE TO, UH, CONSIDER APPOINTMENT EMPLOYMENT, UH, DISMISSAL, DISCIPLINE, PROMOTION, DEMOTION, OR COMPENSATION OF A PUBLIC EMPLOYEE OR OFFICIAL.

UH, THE SECOND REASON WOULD BE FOR DISCUSSIONS WITH AN ATTORNEY FOR THE CITY OF CONCERNING DISPUTES THAT ARE SUBJECT OR PENDING OF, OF, UH, IMMINENT COURT ACTION.

AND THE THIRD WOULD BE TO CONSIDER THE PURCHASE OF PROPERTY FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES.

ALL RIGHT.

UH, THEN, UH, MR. ROGERS, WOULD YOU TAKE A VOTE FOR US TO GO INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION? WE WOULD NEED SOMEONE TO MAKE THE MOTION AND A SECOND PERSON TO MAKE A MOTION.

SORRY.

I HEARD MR. ROB MADE THE MOTION.

THIS IS WHERE SECONDS.

AND THEN IF THERE'S ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION, BACK TO THE GARAGE, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO CALL THE ROLLS IN MS. BAKER? YES.

SO WITH THAT, THAT A MEETING WOULD GO ON TO EXECUTIVES.

UH, NO ACTION WAS TAKEN COMING OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION.

UH, MR. SELMER HAS A COMMENT TO MAKE BEFORE WE ADJOURN.

UH, YES.

UM, UH, I FORGOT TO MENTION DURING MY CITY MANAGER REPORT, UM, THERE WAS ONE THING, UH, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CANCEL THE ANNUAL MARIGOLD FESTIVAL DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS A FESTIVAL, UH, BY NAME.

AND, UH, THAT PARTICULAR TERM IS STILL UNDER THE RESTRICTED GATHERING, UH, RESTRICTIONS UNDER THE STATE.

UM, AND WORKING WITH, AS WE ALWAYS DO, REVIEWING THINGS WITH OUR LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT, UH, MR. COOPER, THE COMMISSIONER AND HIS STAFF, UM, AGAIN, APPRECIATE HIS EFFORTS AND, UH, AND ALL THE STAFF THERE.

UM, SO WHAT WE WILL BE DOING IS HAVING OUR WEEKLY FARMER'S MARKET, WHICH IS OKAY TO HAVE AS WELL AS FOOD TRUCK GATHERINGS, WHICH IS OKAY TO HAVE, AND, UM, THE LIVE MUSIC THAT WAS SCHEDULED, WHICH IS ALSO OKAY TO HAVE, AND WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE A FEW EXTRA VENDORS AT THE FARMER'S MARKET ON THE SAME DAY THAT WE NORMALLY WOULD HAVE HAD THE MIRABELLE FESTIVAL.

SO THERE'LL BE ANNOUNCEMENTS, UH, TO THAT, UH, THAT BASICALLY SAYS THAT THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL, UM, WOULD, UH, W WILL BE, UH, WILL BE CANCELED AS A FESTIVAL, BUT WE'LL STILL BE HAVING A FARMER'S MARKET, UH, TO START AT 10:00 AM FOOD TRUCKS.

UM, AND, UH, AS LONG AS ALL SOCIAL DISTANCING PROTOCOLS THAT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS ACTUALLY COMPLIMENTED US ON, UH, IN, IN FACILITATING OUR EVENTS THAT HAVE GONE ON OUT THERE WEEKLY.

UM, ALSO, UM, UH, THE, UM, UH, FOOD TRUCKS, I DID MENTION THAT WE'LL HAVE SOME SORT OF A, ALMOST LIKE A RALLY WITH A COUPLE OF EXTRAS AND WE'LL BE MAKING THIS ANNOUNCEMENT PUBLICLY TOMORROW MORNING.

SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT COUNCIL WAS AWARE THAT THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL AS A, IT WOULD FORMALLY BE CALLED, UH, WE'LL BE, UH, WE'LL BE DISCONTINUED FOR THIS YEAR DUE TO, UH, THE STATE RESTRICTIONS, BUT WE WILL CONTINUE ON WITH OUR WEEKLY FARMER'S MARKET, HAVE SOME FOOD TRUCKS, AS WELL AS SOME LIVE MUSIC.

HEY, ROB, DID WE KNOW, UH, WHEN WE TOOK ON THE FARMER'S MARKET, THAT THE, UH, THERE WAS THAT ERIC NORMAN WAS STILL GOING TO HAVE ONE IN HUBRIS CENTER? UH, NO.

HE SAID THAT WE, HE WAS NOT GOING TO HAVE ONE IN THE HUBER CENTER IS WHAT HE TOLD US.

WELL, THERE IS ONE I'M SOMEONE POSTED PICTURES OF IT NOW.

UM, NANCY, UH, I WAS UP THERE.

[01:50:01]

ALL I SAW WAS, UH, BLAIR QUEST, UH, MEETS WITH A TRAILER OUT, UH, IN OUR USUAL SPOT, BUT I JUST WANNA KNOW OTHER VENDORS, UH, DISPATCH.

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF WE DID INVITED THEM UP TO THE, UH, EICHELBERGER, UH, BLAIR QUEST WAS INVITED, BUT, UH, THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH, UM, UH, I BELIEVE ITEMS THAT THEY WANTED TO SELL.

THEY, THEY, UM, AND I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR ROB BRIEFLY.

YES, SIR.

ROB, UH, THERE'S A BAND SCHEDULED, UH, FOR THE, UH, UH, THE EVENT FORMERLY CALLED THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL.

UH, WE'RE STILL GONNA HAVE MUSIC AT THE AQUIFER A BAND, OR YES, THERE'S, THERE'S NO RESTRICTIONS FOR HAVING THE TYPE OF GATHERINGS THAT WE'VE HAD BEFORE WITH THE LIVE MUSIC.

SO AGAIN, UH, EVERYBODY'S DONE A GOOD JOB AT MANAGING THEIR, THEIR DISTANCING AND, UM, THE DETAILS OF EXACTLY WHAT THE SCHEDULE WILL BE THROUGH, UM, THE, UH, LIVE PERFORMANCES THAT, UM, UM, SIMILAR TO LIKE THE OTHERS THAT WE'VE HAD WILL COME OUT IN A REVISED SCHEDULE AND ANNOUNCEMENT, UH, HERE TOMORROW, OR, AND THROUGH LATER, WITHIN THIS WEEK, I'VE ATTENDED SEVERAL OF THOSE AND THEY, UH, THERE ARE, UH, YOUR STAFF MEMBERS AND THE A AND B MEMBERS ARE MASKING UP.

UH, THE SOCIAL DISTANCING HAS, UM, PERFECT.

AND IT'S AN IDEAL LOCATION FOR PEOPLE TO GET A LITTLE TASTE OF SOME LIVE MUSIC.

UM, UH, THEY'RE DOING AN OUTSTANDING JOB UP THERE, SO THANK YOU.

YEAH, WE'VE HAD SOME GREAT FEEDBACK, EVEN FROM THE, UH, PUBLIC HEALTH, UH, HAS GIVEN GREAT FEEDBACK AS TO HOW THINGS ARE MANAGED.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE JUST REALLY GLAD THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE, UM, SOME SUMMER OUTDOOR FUND FOR, UH, FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND OTHERS IN THE AREA.

IT'S NOT TOO EARLY TO THINK ABOUT HALLOWEEN.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT WERE, WHAT NIGHT IS TRICK OR TREAT? YEP.

ALWAYS ON THE 31ST.

UH, SO IT IS, UM, UH, SATURDAY AND AGAIN, HA UH, TRICK OR TREAT IS NOT A GOVERNMENTAL HOLIDAY OR EVENT.

IT IS, UM, YOU KNOW, INDIVIDUALLY DONE.

SO WE JUST ASK EVERYBODY TO MAKE SURE TO BE SAFE AND, UM, UH, FOLLOW, UH, FOLLOW THEIR GUIDELINES AND HAVE A GOOD TIME.

YEAH, ANDY.

I JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP WITH WHAT DON WAS SAYING ABOUT BLAIR QUIZ MEETS.

UM, THEY'RE ACTUALLY THERE EVERY SATURDAY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE YEAR, NOT JUST DURING THE SUMMER.

SO IF ANYBODY'S WATCHING, I JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY WAS AWARE THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE.

UM, UH, THANK YOU, UH, VICE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MANILA.

THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION ON BLAIR REQUEST.

UH, JUST A QUICK QUESTION REGARDING, UH, MONDAY'S COUNCIL MEETING.

UM, I WAS WONDERING IF COUNCIL WAS PREPARED TO, UH, START UP, UH, IN PERSON MEETINGS.

NO, NO, THE EMERGENCY IS STILL ON UNTIL IT'S LIFTED.

THAT'S WHAT A MAYOR GORE SAID LAST TIME.

WELL, I UNDERSTAND THE EMERGENCY IS STILL ON.

THERE ARE MANY ENTITIES THAT ARE MEETING IN PERSON.

I JUST WONDERED IF A MAJORITY OF COUNCIL WAS READY TO DO THAT AT THIS TIME.

I HAVE NOT HEARD THAT.

NO.

I MEAN, I'M STILL READY TO MEET, UH, WHENEVER YOU'RE, UH, EVERYBODY ELSE'S, UM, AND, UH, HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO THAT SOON.
