[00:20:01]

UH, YES.

THIS WILL ALSO WAS DISCUSSED AT THE WORK SESSION, UM, THAT, UH, TO COME BACK WITH MORE INFORMATION AT THE NEXT WORK SESSION.

SO THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO MOVE TO A FOURTH READING.

AND THAT WAS THE RECOMMENDATION AT THE WORK SESSION WAS TO MOVE THIS ITEM TO A FOURTH READING.

AND THIS IS THE ITEM THAT MS. HAGGIS IS REGISTERED TO SPEAK ON SITE.

KIND OF TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE HIM WHERE THERE'S A MICROPHONE.

NANCY TAKE TAKERS.

AND I HAVE BEEN A PROUD RESIDENT OF HUBER HEIGHTS SINCE 1976.

WHEN OUR FAMILY MOVED HERE FROM COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO, MY PARENTS WERE THE FIRST HOUSE ON STONY VIEW COURT AND IT WAS FOR 9 1 1.

AND I GREW UP THERE AND I ATTENDED VALLEY FORGE SCHOOL.

UM, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WISE, UNBORN GRADUATED FROM WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL, PROUD GRADUATE.

AND THEN I WENT ON TO HER BAND OR UNIVERSITY WHERE I RECEIVED BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREES IN BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND, UM, ACCOUNTING.

SO AS YOU CAN TELL FROM MY PRESENTATION, I LIKED NUMBERS.

AND, UH, I APOLOGIZE FOR THE LINK, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAD ALL THE FACTS AND I'M ONLY GONNA SPEAK FOR NOT EVEN FIVE MINUTES.

SO I'LL GO QUICK, BUT I WANTED YOU TO HAVE SOMETHING IN YOUR HANDS SO THAT WE CAN, WHEN WE COME BACK AGAIN, UM, WE CAN EITHER HAVE QUESTIONS.

I'VE GIVEN YOU MY CONTACT INFORMATION, REACH OUT.

UM, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL, OR DO MORE RESEARCH.

USE ME HONEST.

IN WESTCHESTER, THE MILLION DOLLAR SECTIONS, THEY SAID WHEN THEY, THE GOOGLE MAPS BROUGHT THEM IN PAST, ONLINE FOR HILL AND THEY SAW IT DOWN IN THERE, THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

SO LET'S GET INTO IT.

I'M AGAINST SBM UPS PARK AT THE DIAL ROAD.

I DON'T WANT IT.

I DON'T WANT IT TO GO DOWN ANGELINA TO DIAL, TO STAND VIEW.

THIS IS A PRISTINE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ONCE YOU COME INTO US OFF OF LONGFORD, IF YOU ARE TURNING WHAT WOULD BE WEST ON LONGFORD, YOU'RE ENTERING A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS VERY LITTLE THROUGH TRAFFIC.

AND ONCE YOU PASS, DIAL ON LONG FOR DO YOU GO STRAIGHT THROUGH LONGFORD ON DIAL YOU OPEN, YOU DRIVE INTO THIS NICE OPEN SPACE OF WOODS.

AND, UM, I'VE BEEN ON MY WAY TO WORK AND SEEING DEER IN THERE AND I HAVE HELD, UM, SO THE ONLY TRAFFIC THAT'S DOWN THERE NOW IS A HOMEOWNER.

YOU'VE HAD HIRED SOMEBODY TO BE WORKING DOWN IN THERE, OR YOU WERE INVITED DOWN THERE.

OUR KIDS PLAY IN THE STREET.

NOW THEY REALLY DO.

AND IF YOU PUT IN IT'S SOMETHING AT THE END OF SANDAL VIEW, YOU'RE TAKING AWAY.

WHAT I FEEL IS THE SAFETY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE PRISTINE QUIETNESS OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND I, UM, SO I HAVE BEEN IN FINANCE, UM, IT LEADER, PROJECT MANAGER, BUT, UM, I HAVE HELD OVER FOR OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS, I'VE HOLD AN ANNUAL BUSINESS PARTIES IN OUR BACKYARD.

AND I'VE BEEN USED FOR BUSINESS SUMMITS BECAUSE WHEN PRIVACY WAS NEEDED, THEY KNEW THAT THEY COULD RELY ON THAT MY BACKYARD.

AND, UM, EVERYONE SAYS, OH, YOUR HOME IS NICE.

BUT THEN WHEN THEY WALK INTO THE BACKYARD, THEY CAN'T BELIEVE THAT.

AND THEN AFTER THEY'D BEEN THERE FOR AN HOUR AND ALL THEY HEAR BIRDS CHIRPING, THEY ARE COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO EVEN GET IN THE SWIMMING POOL WHEN YOU'RE FOR MY AGE.

AND THEY CAN'T WHAT EVERY SINGLE PERSON SAYS TO ME IS THEY CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE WERE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT LOOK LIKE THIS AND HUBER HEIGHTS.

SO I HAVE PEERS SPRINGBORO THAT HAVE ASKED ME WHEN TO LET THEM KNOW WHEN HOMES COME UP FOR SALE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

THINK ABOUT THAT.

I HAVE BROUGHT IN PEOPLE FROM SPRINGBORO BECAUSE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS SO PRISTINE AND THEY DON'T HAVE IT IN THE CITY THAT THEY LIVE IN.

FOLKS IT'S BEAUTIFUL DOWN IN THERE.

I, UM, UM, MY MANAGERS THAT LIVE

[00:25:01]

THEY HAD NO IDEA WHO YOU WERE.

HEIGHTS HAD NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE THIS.

AND THEN I HAD, WHEN I HAVE THE BUSINESS SUMMITS, THESE ARE EX EXECUTIVES FROM STANFORD, CONNECTICUT MANHATTAN.

YES, THE SIX-FIGURE MANHATTAN AND NEW JERSEY.

THESE FOLKS LIVE IN THE MULTI MILLION DOLLAR HOMES OR CONDOS.

THEY COMMENTED ON.

THEY HAD NO IDEA THAT, OH, HIO HAD THESE KINDS OF NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO BASED ON ALL THESE COMMENTS THAT WE'VE HEARD OVER THE YEARS, WE ASKED A REALTOR TO GIVE US AN ESTIMATE IN OUR HOME.

JUST PURELY FOR US TO KNOW, WE HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS GOING ON MOLASSES MODEL THAT SOLD IN EARLY JUNE.

WHEN WE HAD THIS ESTIMATE DONE, IT SOLD FOR TWO WEEKS, $125,000.

OUR HEALTH, SHE SAID AS IS NO IMPROVED, NO MORE IMPROVEMENTS WAS $250,000 ON 10, $15,000 OF THAT INCREASE WAS DESK ESTIMATED TO OUR PROPERTY BECAUSE IT'S PRIVATE REALTORS SAY, PEOPLE LOOK FOR PRIVACY.

THEY LOOK FOR PRISTINE NEIGHBORHOODS, LITTLE TRAFFIC.

SO WE GOT IT, BUMP IN OUR PROPERTY VALUE.

SO YOU'RE TAKING MONEY FROM ME.

YOU'RE HITTING ME HARD.

AND WHAT I NEED TO DO THEN IS IF THIS GOES THROUGH, I'M GOING TO USE MY TAX KNOWLEDGE GUYS, AND I'M GOING TO WORK AND ORGANIZE ALL THESE NEIGHBORS FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR, SO THAT I CAN SUBMIT ONE BUNDLED NEIGHBOR, HOOD TAX DECREASE IN PROPERTY BECAUSE OF THIS PROPOSED PARK.

IT'S, IT'S GOING TO TAKE AWAY WHAT IS BEST ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

I GET THAT.

YOU WANT THE BIKES THROUGH THERE, BUT WE'RE A COMMUNITY THAT WANT TO STAY HERE.

WE WANT TO LIVE HERE.

AND THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS WHAT WE WANT.

UM, SO I DID A LOW BALL ESTIMATE.

I MEAN, I JUST TOOK THE NUMBERS.

IT'S VERY EASY, 10,000.

UM, I DIDN'T GO WITH THE 15,000 AND JUST BASED ON THE NUMBER OF HOUSES THAT AT THAT TIME, I THOUGHT WERE IMPACTED BY THIS.

UM, I CAME UP WITH AN ESTIMATE AROUND 20 GRAND ANNUALLY THAT MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND HUBER HEIGHTS WILL LOSE.

AND SO IF YOU LOOK, UM, I GOT FLAGS COLORED FLAGS, SO THERE'S AN ORANGE COLORED FLAG, HOPEFULLY ON EACH OF YOUR LITTLE BINDERS.

AND THAT IS I THAT'S MY PROPERTY.

THAT I, I I'M COMFORTABLE SHARING THAT.

SO THAT'S WHERE ALL THE MONEY GOES BY LEVY.

AND I WANTED YOU TO SEE THAT.

SO SEE, WHO'S IMPACTED WHEN A HUNDRED OR SO NEIGHBORS GO TO THE BOARD OF, UH, GO TO THE BOARD OF REVISIONS, WHICH THEY ONLY ACCEPT APPEAL APPLICATIONS BETWEEN JANUARY 2ND AND MARCH 31ST.

SO FOR ME, THAT'S GREAT BECAUSE I'VE GOT TIME TO ORGANIZE AND HELP PEOPLE WITH THEIR, UM, FILLING OUT THEIR FORMS AND HOW THEY, THEY GO ABOUT THIS AND I'LL GET CERTIFICATIONS AND APPRAISALS I'LL PAY FOR AN APPRAISAL WHAT MYSELF, BUT, UM, THERE'S A FEW PICTURES OF OUR PROPERTY ON THE NEXT FEW PAGES PAST THAT, JUST TO SUBSTANTIATE WHAT I'M SAYING, PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK AT THAT PRIVACY I'VE GOT.

AND THE LAST THING THAT I'VE GOT IS SCARY TO ME BECAUSE I'M A GIRL.

I DO NOT LIKE SNAKES.

WE HAVE A, WE HAVE A RULE IN OUR YARD.

IF YOU'RE A SNAKE, I GO ONE WAY YOU GO ANOTHER.

AND WE HAD BEEN WORKING IN THE YARD.

WE KNOW IT WAS AROUND THE 4TH OF JULY.

CAUSE WE ALWAYS A HOLD A PARTY ON THE 4TH OF JULY.

AND WE HAD GOT UP AT LIKE SEVEN IN THE MORNING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD GET ALL OF OUR WORK DONE BEFORE IT GOT TOO HOT OUT HERE.

GOSH, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY.

UM, AND UM, WE, I HAD BEEN CRAWLING AROUND ON MY HANDS AND KNEES AND MY HUSBAND HAD BEEN USING THE WEED-EATER.

AND, AND IF YOU, IN THE PICTURE THAT I, THOSE ARE MY ONLY PRINTS, BY THE WAY.

UM, IN MY, IN MY, UM, IN MY REAL PRINTS, IF YOU USE THE MAGNIFYING GLASS, YOU CAN SEE OUR WORKS.

OUR WORK STUFF IS STILL ALL IN THE BACKGROUND.

WHAT WE WERE A HOT MESS WHEN WE FINISHED THAT YARD WORK AND WE S WE WERE STANDING THERE AND MY HUSBAND WAS SIDEWAYS TO THE GRILL.

AND I WAS LIKE, LET'S JUST THROW SOME BURGERS ON THE GRILL AND WE'LL GET CLEANED UP LATER.

AND AS HE OPENED THAT GRILL, THIS SNAKE JUMPED OUT AT HIM.

NOW, HAD HE NOT BEEN TALKING TO ME AND STANDING LIKE, YOU'D NORMALLY DO IN A GRILL, IT WOULD'VE HIT HIM RIGHT IN THE BELLY.

SO I DID

[00:30:01]

WHAT ANY GIRL DOES.

I RAN DOWN THE STREET TO 49, 11 STONY VIEW COURT, KNOCK UP MY DADDY.

AND WHILE DAD LAUGHED AT ME AND WAS POOPOO AND ME, I GOT ON THIS.

I W I GOOGLED ON HIS COMPUTER RATTLESNAKES IN OHIO, AND I SEEN THIS THING AND I'M LIKE, OH, NO, THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.

SO I RAN BACK UP TO THE, TO OUR HOUSE AND I, DAD AND MY DAD, KURT LUCAS, WERE STANDING THERE IN THE, UM, SLIDING PATIO, LOOKING THROUGH THE SLIDING PATIO GOING, THIS THING IS MEAN, AND DAD GOES, IT'S A RATTLESNAKE NANCE, IT'S A RATTLESNAKE.

AND SO THEY FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET IT BACK IN THE WOODS.

AND, UM, ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE MY HUSBAND HAD ENCOUNTERED ONE THAT HE CALLED GRUMPY.

NOW, WAS IT THE SAME SNAKE? I DON'T KNOW.

CAUSE I DON'T HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH OF IT, BUT IT WAS SITTING WHEN HE WENT TO OPEN THE SHED TO GET HIS MOWER OUT, IT WAS ON THE MOWER.

AND HE SAID, NO, NO, YOU GOT TO GO.

NOW I'LL GO THE OTHER WAY LIKE WE DO.

AND THIS SNAKE DID NOT GO THE OTHER WAY.

HE SAID IT LEACHED OUT HIM.

SO HE CLOSED THE SHED DOORS AND WE DIDN'T GET MOW THAT DAY.

WE A COUPLE MORE DAYS BEFORE WE MET HONEST.

SO THE REMAINDER OF, OF WHAT I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT HOW AM I DOING ON TIME? YEAH.

WE'RE, WE'RE ALREADY ABOUT NINE MINUTES NOW, SO, OKAY.

I'M VERY SORRY.

SO I'LL JUST STOP.

UM, THE YELLOW ONE, THOSE ARE PICTURES OF THE SNAKE, THE OHIO SITE, THE PINK ONE IS A, UH, PICTURE OF THE, AN, UH, IS FROM US AND US FISH AND WILDLIFE SITE.

THAT'S AN, A YOUNG, UH, RATTLESNAKE.

AND THEN WHAT I FOUND THE MOST IMPRESSIVE WAS THE BLUE THING.

AND THAT IS FROM THE STATE OF OHIO THAT THEY PUBLISH THIS FEBRUARY ABOUT THE SNAKE.

THEY ONLY DID THREE COUNTIES, BUT IT'S GOT GOOD REFERENCES AND COSTS ON HOW MUCH IT TAKES TO COMPLETE THIS.

SO I'M VERY SORRY.

I SPOKE OVER VERY SORRY.

SO I HAVE A QUESTION.

SO WHAT, AT THE LAST WORK SESSION, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE HAD LOTS OF, I THINK A LITTLE OVER TWO AND A HALF HOURS OF DISCUSSION REGARDING THE DOWEL PARK.

UM, I THINK WHAT WE HAD DETERMINED OR W IN MOVING THIS OFF TO ANOTHER READINGS, WHICH IS THE REASON WE'RE NOT TAKING ACTION ON THIS TONIGHT, W WE'VE HEARD WHILE OTHER NEIGHBORS HAD SAID REGARDING THE ACTUAL PUMP TRACK AND THE, UM, WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED THE BIKE PLAYGROUND IN THE GREEN SPACE.

AND I THINK THERE WAS AGREEMENT AT LEAST NO OBJECTIONS BY COUNCIL TO MOVING THAT SOMEPLACE ELSE WHERE W WHERE WE WOULD JUST HAVE AT DIAL PARK, AT LEAST WHAT WE'LL BE DISCUSSING AT THE NEXT WORK SESSION, WHICH IS TUESDAY AND MORE, MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME.

NOPE, THERE'LL NEXT TUESDAY NEXT TUESDAY.

SO THAT ITEM WILL BE ON THE AGENDA THERE AGAIN, AND WE'LL BE DISCUSSING THAT, BUT I THINK DURING, SO WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT MEETINGS REGARDING THIS AND MOST, UH, EVERY TIME THAT WE'VE, WE'VE TALKED TO PEOPLE, WE'VE ENGAGED WITH RESIDENTS UP THERE, CLEARLY IT'S BEEN STATED NOBODY WANTS THE, THE OPEN GREEN SPACE TO BE MESSED WITH, WITH, UM, WITH THE PLAYGROUND AND THE CONTRACT.

SO IN THE ACTUAL, SO IT'S JUST WHAT I'M TRYING TO, I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT.

I JUST WANT IT WE'VE KNOWN, CAUSE WE'VE ALL WE'VE RECEIVED THESE PETITIONS, BUT THERE WAS NO DATE ON THE PETITIONS.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHEN PEOPLE ACTUALLY SIGNED THOSE.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT WAS BEFORE THE LAST MEETING, OR I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS AFTER THE LAST MEETING.

SO IN THE PETITIONS WHERE I SEE IT SAYS A PETITION AGAINST THE BIKE TRAILS AND THE BIKE AMENITIES.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS DONE AFTER WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IT AT THE LAST MEETING AND THEN PRETTY MUCH AGREED WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THOSE BIKE HUMIDITY SOMEPLACE ELSE.

WHEN WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE BIKE TRAILS.

SO AT THE, AT OUR, UM, KIND OF TOWN HALL THAT WE HAD REGARDING THAT EVERYBODY THAT CAME TO THE PODIUM WHO WAS, WHO WAS AGAINST IT, I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THAT QUESTION, ARE YOU AGAINST THE ENTIRE PROJECT? ARE YOU AGAINST THE, UH, WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE GREEN SPACE? AND WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH THE TRAILS THAT ARE IN THE WOODS AND THEN HAVING THEM DESIGNED WITHIN THE WOODS THAT ARE THERE, WHERE THEY'RE NOT SEEN FROM, YOU KNOW, FROM, FROM THE NEIGHBOR'S HOMES.

AND THEN, UH, I HAD SENT HIM TO A GROUP OF PEOPLE AFTER ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEETINGS THAT I THINK IF THERE WAS A COMPROMISE THERE, IT WOULD BE FOR SOME TYPE OF PARKING SPACE WITHIN THE ACTUAL GREEN SPACE BUFFERED.

UM, THAT WAY AS MUCH OF IMPACT WAS, WAS AS MINIMAL AS POSSIBLE TO THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE.

SO, SO NOW THAT I'VE GOT THE PETITIONS WITH NO DATE, UM, I THINK, UM, PROBABLY ALL OF COUNCIL'S A LITTLE CONFUSED AS TO WHAT IS, WHAT IS THE PETITION AGAINST? IS IT AGAINST ALL THE BIKE PARK STUFF AND THE GREEN SPACE? IS IT THE WHOLE PROJECT? BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE COME TO THE PODIUM HAVE TENDED TO BE OKAY WITH THE ACTUAL BIKE TRAILS IN THE WOODS.

WHAT I'M AGAINST, SIR, I'M AGAINST THOSE.

I FEEL LIKE YOU PUT THAT PARKING LOT AT THE END OF SANDAL VIEW.

AND THEN YOU GO THROUGH DIAL WHERE IT ENDS THAT, UM, ANGELINA AND DIAL AND YOU NEED THREE, YOU NEED A, UH, LIKE A THOROUGHFARE THROUGH THERE.

THAT THAT'S WHAT CONCERNS

[00:35:01]

ME MOST.

AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY HAS DONE A NATURAL ANALYSIS BEFORE YOU GO DISTURBING ANYTHING IN THAT PART.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU GO IN WITH HEAVY MACHINERY CHAINSAWS, UM, YOU KNOW, WIDENING THOSE TRAILS AND MAKING BUMPS, WHERE DO YOU THINK THIS SNAKE IS GOING TO GO? IT'S A OHIO AND FEDERALLY ENDANGERED SNAKE.

THEY SAID YOU CAN'T DISTURB ITS TERRITORY.

IT'S GOING TO GO INTO MY YARD.

IT, YEAH, IT'S NOT AN VENOMOUS ENOUGH TO KILL UP, UH, AN ADULT, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE ANTI-VENOM IMMEDIATELY, MEANING CARE IS GOING TO HAVE TO LAND IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

I DON'T WANT ANY OF MY NEIGHBORS TO EXPERIENCE THAT.

THEY'RE SAYING THE TODDLER'S SMALL CHILD.

IT'S NOT SURE THAT THEY COULD KILL THEM, BUT DOGS, I HAVE THREE, PLEASE.

I'M BEGGING YOU, PLEASE.

DON'T PLEASE DON'T ENDANGER MY DOGS.

JUST DO SOME ANALYSIS THOUGH, OHIO STATE, UM, WHICH IS THE BRUNT OF WHAT MY STATEMENT IS, PROVIDES THE MOST INFORMATION.

AND THEY GIVE RESOURCES NOT ONLY RESOURCES, BUT HOW TO DO IT, AND THEN HOW MUCH IT COSTS THEM, WHICH WAS ABOUT $1,750 TO DO THIS ANALYSIS.

THEY ONLY DID IT IN THREE COUNTIES, BUT THEY FOUND ABOUT ONE SNAKE PER 50 PEOPLE IN THOSE THREE COUNTIES.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'VE GOT BACK THERE, BUT THOSE, THOSE, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T WANT TO GET TOO CLOSE TO IT.

BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS, IT DEFINITELY IS BECAUSE THE DOCUMENTS THAT I PROVIDED, THE BACKUP, ALL THOSE MARKS ARE THERE.

THAT'S WHAT WAS IN OUR GRILL.

SO I'M, I'M SO SORRY.

I TOOK OVER TIME, RIGHT? NO, YOU'RE FINE.

THIS HAS BEEN A, UH, A VERY HIGHLY DISCUSSED ITEM.

SO, I MEAN, I I'M, I'M CERTAINLY OKAY WITH ALLOWING SOME LEEWAY IN TERMS OF OUR, OF OUR TIMEFRAME.

UM, BUT I APPRECIATE THE DIALOGUE.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT AND SPEAKING.

SO I, I WILL OPEN UP.

I WOULD, I WOULD ASK IF THERE'S ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

AGAIN, I'M NOT WEDDED TO A BICYCLE THING.

MR. RADO NO QUESTIONS.

JUST, JUST COMMENTS TO BE MADE.

UM, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK EVERYONE THAT'S HERE AND WATCHING TO DO ME A FAVOR.

WE, WE KEEP REFERRING TO THIS PARK.

THAT'S NOT A PARK YET.

IT'S JUST A BIG PIECE OF LAND NOW, WOULD WE LIKE TO SEE A PARK THERE? IF SO, WHAT DO WE WANT TO SEE THERE? WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF WHAT WE DON'T WANT, BUT WHAT DO WE WANT? CAN WE TELL IT BECAUSE HONESTLY, MY INITIAL PUSH INTO TH INTO ACQUIRING THIS LAND WAS JUST TO PUT SOMETHING THERE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS.

THERE WAS A TON OF KIDS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AT TIMES, AND THEY NEED THINGS TO DO.

UH, OTHERWISE THEY FIND THEMSELVES OVER AT OTHER AREAS OF, OF THEIR, UM, VANDALISM SPRAY PAINTING AND OTHER PARK AREAS, TRASH IN THE WOODS, PARTYING, ALL THAT STUFF WE NEED.

I GREW UP IN THAT VERY SAME NEIGHBORHOOD, ALONG WITH DOZENS OF OTHER KIDS IN THE SEVENTIES, EIGHTIES, NINETIES.

AND WE W WE SPENT OUR LIVES IN THOSE WOODS.

WE, AND, BUT YOU KNOW, WHAT WE LEARNED PLAYING IN THOSE WOODS WAS HOW TO FIGURE OUT A PROBLEM, HOW TO SOLVE A PROBLEM.

MY BROTHER AND HIS THREE FRIENDS, EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT, THEY HAD A WOOD.

THEY CAMPED OUT IN THE WOODS.

I MEAN, THAT'S ODD, MR. OTTO, THAT THOUGH, WHY AREN'T THOSE KIDS PLAYING IN THE WOODS ANYMORE? THEY DO.

THEY DO PLAY IN THE WOODS QUITE A BIT.

STILL.

MY BOYS PLAYED IN THE WOODS A LOT.

UM, THEY JUST GRADUATED COLLEGE AND ARE MOVING ON WITH THEIR LIVES, BUT THEY SPENT A LOT OF IN THOSE WOODS, THEY SURE DID.

SO, SO WHAT'S, WHAT'S HAPPENED.

WHERE'S THE BREAK BECAUSE ALL OF US, ANYBODY, I MEAN, COME ON WHEN WE WERE KIDS, IF THERE WAS A CREEK NEAR OUR HOME, DIFFERENT TIMES, I AGREE WITH YOU.

I SPENT ALL MY YOUTH IN THE WOODS, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THAT WE DID AS KIDS INVOLVED, THE WORD FIGHT, DIRT, CLOD, FIGHT, APPLE, FIGHT, SNOWBALL FIGHT.

IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

BB GUNS.

UM, WE SPENT ALL OF OUR TIME OUTSIDE, RUNNING AROUND, WORKING OFF ENERGY AND DOING THINGS KIDS TODAY JUST DON'T DO THAT.

THEY TEND TO GET BORED REALLY QUICKLY.

THEY ADD ELECTRONICS IN THEIR FACE ALL DAY.

WE NEED OTHER OPTIONS FOR THEM.

THAT'S REALLY ALL I WANT OUT OF THIS PART.

I'M NOT WEDDED TO A BICYCLE PARK.

UM, I THINK SINCE THE TRAILS ARE ALREADY THERE, IT WOULD BE PRETTY COOL TO GET THEM CLEANED UP SO THAT THEY COULD BE USED A LITTLE BIT IN A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A SAFE WAY.

AND THE WOODS WOULD ACTUALLY BE CLEANER.

I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN MULTIPLE CLEANUPS OF THOSE WOODS.

WE PULLED LITERALLY TONS OF GARBAGE OUT OF THOSE WOODS.

TONS.

I'M NOT JOKING.

UM, IT'S IT.

AND IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.

PEOPLE DUMP BACK THERE.

UM, I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH THE IDEA OF RUNNING A ROAD ALL THE WAY BACK THERE WITH A PARKING LOT STUFF BACK IN THE WOODS, BECAUSE IT'S BACK THERE AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE SEEN.

AND I WOULD PREFER IF WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING AT THAT PARKING PARKING NEAR THE STREET.

SO WE DON'T HAVE THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT PROPERTY USED FOR GOOD PURPOSE AND FOR KIDS AND FAMILIES IN THE AREA TO ENJOY THEMSELVES.

[00:40:01]

UM, WE CAN DO THAT IN ANOTHER LOCATION.

I'VE ACTUALLY SPOKEN WITH ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER ABOUT SOME OPTIONS THERE, WHICH I THINK WOULD BE AWESOME.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING THERE FOR KIDS, BECAUSE THAT HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN, I'VE HEARD COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER RESIDENTS IN THE AREA THAT THEIR KIDS JUST DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO.

I USED TO HAVE YOU, YOU PROBABLY NOTICED I HAD A BASKETBALL HOOP AND I BUILT A LITTLE PAD FOR IT AND STUFF.

SO THE KIDS COULD DO SOMETHING.

CAUSE I'D RATHER THEM BE PLAYING WHERE THEY CAN BE SEEN AND GETTING INTO THINGS.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY, ANOTHER NEIGHBOR COMPLAINED BECAUSE HE SAID IT LOOKED GHETTO.

NO, I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO WHAT I THINK HE SAID THAT ABOUT.

BUT ANYWAY, UM, SO I WAS FORCED BY THE CITY TO TAKE THAT BASKETBALL HOOP DOWN BECAUSE YOU DID IT FACING THE STREET.

YOU HAD YOURS FACING THE STREET.

THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING CHRISTINE NEIGHBORHOODS.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY.

NO, NO WORRIES WHATSOEVER.

I WAS VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT, BUT, BUT WE NEED THINGS FOR OUR CHILDREN TO DO.

I DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS OR ANY MORE, SO IT DOESN'T DIRECTLY AFFECT ME.

BUT I DO THINK THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF FAMILIES WITH LOTS OF CHILDREN THAT NEED SOMETHING TO OCCUPY THEM IN A VERY POSITIVE MANNER.

UM, AND WHATEVER WE CAN DO FOR THEM WOULD BE GREAT.

AND WE JUST DON'T HAVE A PARK SPACE IN WARD, ONE, ESPECIALLY IN THE VIEWS.

AND IT'S A VERY LARGE NEIGHBORHOOD IF USE, WE NEED SOMETHING.

SO I WOULD LOVE SOME CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ON WHAT YOU FEEL MIGHT BE GOOD THERE.

UM, AGAIN, I'M NOT ATTACHED TO BIKES.

I WOULD JUST LIKE SOMETHING FOR THAT, FOR THAT PART OF THE COMMUNITY, BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.

AND I, AND I THINK THAT AREA DOES TO SERVE SOMETHING NICE THERE.

SO I WOULD HOPE THAT WHEN I'VE GOT LOTS OF NOTES FOR THIS NEXT MEETING, I'M READY.

I HAD TO LEAVE EARLY AT THE LAST ONE, BUT I TOOK COPIOUS NOTES.

I WATCHED THROUGH THE VIDEO MULTIPLE TIMES.

IT WAS VERY LONG.

UH, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CONVERSATION.

UM, AND I HOPE THAT I CAN HEAR SOME IDEAS.

AND REACH OUT IF THERE'S MORE RESEARCH, ANY OF YOU WANT ME TO DO? SURE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR, THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I THINK A, A COMMENT, UH, JUST TO CLEAR IT UP.

I KNOW YOU MENTIONED SANDAL VIEW A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND I KNOW WE HAVE SPOKEN BRIEFLY.

UM, THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY PARKING ON SANDAL VIEW FOR, FOR ANY CONCEPT, BUT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A ROAD THROUGH, DOWN TO SANDAL VIEW.

WHAT SHE'S REFERRING TO THERE, THERE WAS ONE THING PUT OUT.

I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS SCOTT.

I BELIEVE IT CAME FROM STAFF THAT SHOWED A SMALL PARKING PAD AT THE END OF SANDAL VIEW.

AND AT THE END OF ANOTHER, THE TOP OF THE HILL WHERE THERE COULD BE SOME POTENTIAL PARKING PERSONALLY, I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY WHATSOEVER.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE MORE IF THE LOCALS KNOW THAT WAY IN AND OUT.

THAT'S GREAT.

I WOULD PREFER ANY PARKING BE DONE AT THE AREA FOR THAT PARK.

I DON'T THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE PARKING ALL OVER THE PLACE FOR IT.

AT THE WORK SESSION, WE HAD KIND OF SOME DISCUSSIONS AROUND THAT.

AND I THINK THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT ANOTHER RESIDENT IT BROUGHT UP.

SO WE WERE TALKING ABOUT SPECIFIC PARKING AT THE ACTUAL SITE.

WAY, BECAUSE ONE OF THE ISSUES WERE THE NEIGHBORS THAT LIVE ON LONGFORD, LOOKING INTO THE SPACE AND WANT TO BE STARING AT PARTY.

MAYBE.

AND JUST TO CONTINUE ON, I KNOW THAT WAS A CONCERN FOR YOU AND SEVERAL OTHER NEIGHBORS DOWN THERE WAS THE PARKING.

UM, AND AGAIN, I LIVE JUST A LITTLE OVER A THOUSAND FEET AWAY FROM THERE, MYSELF.

I'M I'M ON SANDRA VIEW QUITE A BIT.

UM, AND BAYVIEW AND STONY VIEW AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

SO I DO, I WOULD BE AGAINST ANY TYPE OF DIRECT PARKING DOWN THERE.

I KNOW IT WASN'T A CONCEPT, BUT AS THE MAYOR SAID, UM, THAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED AND I, IN MY OPINION ELIMINATED, DO YOU THINK THAT BY THE NEXT MEETING, OUR NEXT WORKING SESSION, COULD WE MAYBE, UM, HAVE WHAT'S STILL IN PLAY AND START FROM THERE? LIKE, WOULD THAT BE POSSIBLE? YES.

AND I HAD TO PULL IT TOGETHER, SO THAT'S THE PLANE.

SO, SO THE REASON THAT, SO WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH EVERY PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT, YOU KNOW, W WE HAVE TO, TO KEEP TRACK OF IT.

SO THIS PARTICULAR ITEM HAS ALREADY BEEN ON THE AGENDA THREE TIMES.

SO TONIGHT WE'RE SAYING, NOPE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE ACTION.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THIS ON TO ANOTHER CITY COUNCIL MEETING, WHICH WILL BE TWO WEEKS FROM TONIGHT, BUT AT THE NEXT MEETING.

SO AT THE, WHEN WE HAD OUR WORK SESSION REGARDING IT, WE DECIDED THEN TO PUSH US OFF TO A FOURTH READING SO WE COULD DISCUSS IT AGAIN AT THE NEXT WORK SESSION.

AND I THINK WHAT WE, WHAT'S STILL IN PLAY.

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING NOW WOULD BE THE TRAILS, JUST SPECIFICALLY THE TRAILS.

I THINK THE BIKE PLAYGROUND AND THE PUMP TRACK, UH, WAS AGREED TO MOVE THAT SOMEPLACE ELSE.

THAT'S NOT IN THE GREEN SPACE.

THAT'S NOT WHAT ANYBODY WANTED.

SO WE'RE TALKING, JUST HAVING SOMETHING IN THE TRAILS THAT'S, THAT'S NOT SEEN.

UM, AND AS I SAY, CLEANING UP, WHAT'S ALREADY THERE.

UM, I DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW THAT THERE'S BULLDOZERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND CHAINSAWS GOING IN, CAUSE THEY'LL POINT TO THOSE TRAILS JUST TO BUILD THEM AROUND THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE.

THAT'S THAT'S ALREADY THERE.

SO, SO THAT'S WHAT WOULD BE DISCUSSED.

AND THEN THE PARKING ISSUE, UH, WE HAD ASKED THAT THE WORK SESSION FOR MR MCCALSKY TO ACTUALLY HAVE SOME BETTER DESIGN DRAWINGS THAT WOULD SHOW LANDSCAPING, BUFFERING ALL THOSE THINGS THAT

[00:45:01]

DIDN'T WANT TO BE STARING AT A PARKING LOT ALL THE TIME.

RIGHT.

SO IT WAS ABOUT, OKAY, WELL, SO WE NEED TO BUFFER THAT.

SO I THINK WE'VE, WE'VE TAKEN, WE'RE TRYING TO FIND A COMPROMISE, BUT WE'LL, BUT WE'LL SEE WHAT THE, WHAT THE RESIDENTS ALL TOGETHER WANT AND, AND KIND OF WHAT'S BROUGHT UP ON WHAT'S SAID, UM, AND YOU KNOW, FROM MR. AUTO'S POSITION THAT IF, IF THIS ISN'T WHAT ANYBODY WANTS AND YOU KNOW, WE'D LIKE TO HEAR SOME, SOME CRITICISM OF, WELL, WHAT WOULD WE WANT THERE? AND IF WE MAY FIND OUT THAT EVERYBODY SAYS, YOU KNOW WHAT, NOTHING LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS.

AND THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT COUNSELING OF THIS COUNCIL WOULD HAVE TO DECIDE ON.

BUT AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, THE ONLY THING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SPECIFICALLY NOW IS THE TRAIL INSIDE THE PARK OR INSIDE THE WOODS WITH ENOUGH BUFFER AROUND IT, WHERE YOU, AS A NEIGHBOR, AS YOU'RE LOOKING AT THOSE WOODS, YOU'RE JUST STILL GOING TO SEE WHAT'S.

YOU WON'T KNOW THE PEOPLE THAT WROTE THAT THERE'S TRAILS AND RIDING AROUND THROUGH THERE.

CAUSE THERE'LL BE BUFFERED.

THIS IS KIND OF A DESIGN BUILD SITUATION SO WE CAN DESIGN IT AND BUILD IT TO WHERE IT, WHERE IT'S NOT SEEN FROM THE OUTSIDE.

WOULD YOU DO THAT NATURAL HABITAT ASSESSMENT BEFORE WE GO IN THERE, JUST TO SEE HOW MANY OF THOSE SNAKES ARE GOING TO COME AND POSSIBLY COME IN ANYBODY'S YARD THAT BORDERS THEIR NOW I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM HAVING OUR, HAVING OUR STAFF, YOU KNOW, CONTRACTOR, OR FIND SOMEBODY TO DO THAT.

SO I DON'T DISAGREE THAT IT WOULDN'T BE BAD TO KNOW, TO KNOW WHAT ELSE BACK THERE BEFORE FINAL DECISIONS MADE.

BUT I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S KIDS BACK THERE NOW THEY'RE PLAYING WALKING.

YOU KNOW, I, I THINK WE'VE TALKED, I'VE RODE THOSE TRAILS.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, BUT THERE WAS JUST ONE OR TWO PEOPLE.

I MEAN, KIDS WERE LOUD.

THEY, THEY HAVE TIME TO GET AWAY.

MY, MY CONCERN IS WHEN YOU GO IN THERE WITH, BECAUSE MR. OTTO, WHEN I CLICKED ON THAT LINK FOR THE BMX PIECE ON YOUR FACEBOOK LAST NIGHT, THERE'S A PICTURE OF ALL OF THEM WITH CHAINSAWS.

AND I JUST THOUGHT WHOLE, MY GOSH, WE CAN'T DO THAT.

PLEASE NEVER A PLAN TO TAKE DOWN ANY OF THE WOODS.

IT WAS JUST TO CLEAN UP THE INTERIOR WHERE THE TRAILS ALREADY EXISTED TO MAKE THEM SAFER AND TO PROVIDE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE SO THAT PEOPLE COULD NAVIGATE WELL.

YEAH, BUT AS SOMEONE THAT'S EXPERIENCED THAT SNAKE IT'S WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO LIE.

I'M I'M TERRIFIED OF THEM.

UM, THIS TACK US, UM, I WAS TRYING TO FIND STONY VIEW ON THIS CHART AND I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE.

WELL, LET'S SEE I'LL, UM, RIGHT ACROSS FROM MY HOUSE.

OH YEAH.

LET'S DRIVE DOWN STONY VIEW AND YOUR RUN, RIGHT? YEAH.

TRYING TO GET, TRYING TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.

SO YOU SEE WHERE LONG FOR IT IS.

IF YOU SEE LONGFORD AND THEN YOU GO ON DOWN, UM, RUSTIC WOULD SEE.

SO DO YOU SEE WHERE SANDAL VIEW IS? THERE'S A CUL-DE-SAC THAT'S NOT NAMED AND THAT STONY VIEW.

WE DIDN'T GET ENOUGH.

ALL RIGHT.

MY APOLOGIES.

ANYBODY ELSE? I KNOW I'M OVER.

THE LOFT TOPIC, BUT NOT COMPLETELY FUN FACT.

UM, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SNAKES.

I'M NOT A BIG FAN MYSELF, BUT THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER SNAKE THAT IS VERY SIMILAR.

IT LOOKS LIKE A RATTLESNAKE, BUT IT'S A MILK SNAKE HAD ONE OF THOSE IN OUR GARAGE FREAKED ME OUT.

CAUSE THE THING COILED BACK AND STRUCK ME AND I WAS LIKE, YEAH.

OH MY GOODNESS.

THAT'S WHERE MY DAD WENT.

WHEN I RAN DOWN TO GET MY DAD.

HE'S LIKE NANCY, THERE'S NO RATTLESNAKES IN OHIO.

IT'S A MILK SNAKE.

AND THEN AS I SAID, WE GREW UP, I GREW UP IN COLORADO WHEN, BEFORE WE MOVED HERE, IT WAS COLORADO SPRINGS.

AND WHEN YOU WERE, YOU WERE TAUGHT FROM THE DAY YOU COULD WALK WHAT A RATTLESNAKE WAS, WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE AND TO BACK AWAY FROM IT AND FIND YOUR DAD.

WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING.

I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION ON THE MATERIALS AS WE HAVE QUESTIONS, IT'S TOTALLY FINE.

WE HAVE, UM, SO THE, THE WORK SESSION WILL BE ON TUESDAY WHERE THIS WILL BE UP FOR DISCUSSION.

AGAIN, WE'RE WE'RE AGAIN, AS THE PROCESS, THE WORK SESSION IS EXACTLY THAT IT'S US WORKING THROUGH THIS PROCESS TO COME UP WITH THE BEST SOLUTION AND THE BEST SOLUTION MIGHT BE NO SOLUTION.

THE BEST SOLUTION MIGHT BE SOMETHING ELSE, BUT WE'LL WE'LL WE WILL GET THROUGH THAT.

WORKS.

THAT'S YOUR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO MOVE ON TO A FOUR, THREE GETTING OBJECTIONS TO MOVING US ONTO A FOURTH READING.

WHICH IS NEW BUSINESS ITEM 11, EIGHT.

NEXT UP IS I NUMBER 11,

[ A Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Execute An Open-Ended Lease Agreement With Enterprise Fleet Management. (first reading)]

I HAVE 11 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN OPEN-ENDED LEASE AGREEMENT WITH ENTERPRISE FLEET MANAGEMENT AT THE FIRST READING SCOTT.

UM, AND THE NEXT STEPS AFTER THIS WOULD BE FOR THE, UH, THE COMPANY TO COME IN AND SIT DOWN WITH EACH OF OUR DEPARTMENTS TO GO THROUGH, UM, EACH OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WHICH VEHICLES ARE THE RIGHT ONES TO MOVE FORWARD WITH.

THIS LEGISLATION IS TO START A NEW PROGRAM LIKE LEASE PROGRAM FOR SOME OF OUR VEHICLES.

[00:50:01]

AND THEN WE WOULD COME BACK TO COUNCIL WITH EACH OF THOSE AND NEW LEGISLATION.

THANKS, SCOTT.

AND THE WORK SESSION RECOMMENDATION LIST OF ADOPT THIS ITEM THIS EVENING.

IS THERE A MOTION MR. WEBB? SO MOVE SECOND.

LET'S READ IT A SECOND.

EMOTIONAL SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION THIS EVENING ON THE LEASE AGREEMENT? YES.

MISS ROBIN.

UM, I THINK IT'S A GOOD MOVE.

I THINK IT WILL ULTIMATELY SAVE THE CITY, UH, AND MONEY AND, AND ON THE CONDITION OF EQUIPMENT AND TIME SERVICE AND ALL THAT KIND OF GOOD STUFF.

I DO WANT TO STRESS THOUGH, THAT I THINK THERE WAS A BIG CONFUSION OVER THE ELECTRIC PORTION OF THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD.

I WAS NOT ADVOCATING FOR PURE ELECTRIC VEHICLES, PLUG-IN MODELS.

UM, I THINK THAT HYBRID IS AS A MUCH BETTER OPTION FOR US.

UM, AND SPEAKING TO, I THINK, UH, AGAIN, WATCHING THE MEETING, I THINK THE KIA NIRO HAS MENTIONED BEFORE.

I WILL TELL YOU IT'S A GREAT VEHICLE.

I LIKED IT SO MUCH.

WE BOUGHT ANDY ONE ABOUT A MONTH AGO OR A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO.

IT'S BEEN AMAZING 50 MILES TO THE GALLON, TONS OF ROOM.

UH, IT'D BE PERFECT VEHICLE FOR THE SMALLER, UH, DIVISIONS DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE CITY, JUST FOR, FOR TRANSPORTATION.

SO IF WE CAN CONSIDER LOOKING TO AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO PUT THOSE TYPES OF VEHICLES WITHIN THE CITY'S FLEET, THAT'D BE GREAT.

SO THANK YOU.

WAS MERGING, UH, SCOTT, HAVE WE ESTABLISHED CRITERIA SINCE THIS IS AN OPEN-ENDED LEASE AGREEMENT, HEAVILY ESTABLISHED CRITERIA FOR, UH, WHAT I MIGHT CALL A DEFAULT ON THE AGREEMENT WHERE THERE, WE FIND THAT IT'S NOT AS ECONOMICAL AS WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE, THAT WE HAVE A BASIS TO GET OUT OF IT.

THERE IS IN THE AGREEMENT WAYS FOR US TO GET OUT AT ANY TIME EITHER TO END THE LEASES, UM, THAT, THAT IS ALL WITHIN THE AGREEMENT, UM, THAT WE CAN SELL THOSE OFF AND GO BACK TO OUR STANDARD WAY OF DOING IT.

(first reading)]

AND APPURTENANCES THERE TOO ON PARTS OF A PARTS ARE ALL A CERTAIN STREETS IN THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS REFERRED TO AS THE 2021 SIDEWALK PROGRAM AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AT THE FIRST READING SCOTT.

UH, YES, THIS ORDINANCE IS FOR, TO, UH, ALLOW US TO SEND THE INVOICES TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS OF THE 2021 SIDEWALK PROGRAM AND THEY'LL HAVE UNTIL AUGUST THE NINTH TO MAKE.

SO THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE, UH, THE, UH, UH, WAVING OF THE SECOND READING AND PASS.

IT ADDS SOME URGENCY.

AND THAT WAS A RECOMMENDATION.

DO WE HAVE THE SECOND READING? IS THERE A MOTION TO WAIVE MR. WEBB? ALMO, SORRY, A SECOND.

MR. CAMPBELL.

SECOND MOTION ON THE SECOND TO WAIVE ANY DISCUSSION.

MR. LYONS, MR. WEBB, MR. SHAW, MS. BAKER.

F ITEM 11 HALF FOR RESOLUTION DECLARED IT NECESSARY TO IMPROVE PUBLIC STREETS AND EASEMENTS IN SECTION SIX, PHASES FIVE, SIX, AND SEVEN, BY CONSTRUCTING AND INSTALLING CERTAIN PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING THE STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

AND NEXT UP IS ITEM 11

[ A Resolution Declaring It Necessary To Improve Public Streets And Easements In Section 6 - Phases 5, 6 And 7 By Constructing And Installing Certain Public Infrastructure Improvements Including Street Improvements, Subbase, Concrete Curb/Gutter With Drainage, Asphalt, Street Lights And Signs, Sidewalks, Survey Work And Engineering, And In Each Case, All Other Costs And Improvements Necessary And Appurtenant Thereto. (first reading)]

SUB-BASE CONCRETE CURB GUTTER WITH DRAINAGE, ASPHALT, STREETLIGHTS, ASSIGNS, SIDEWALKS, SURVEY, WORK, AND ENGINEERING, AND IN EACH CASE, ALL OTHER COSTS AND APPROVALS NECESSARY, AND A PERTINENT THERE TOO AT THE FIRST MEETING, SCOTT, UH, YES, THIS REQUEST IS, UH, FOR SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR THREE SECTIONS OR A TOTAL OF 97 LOTS.

UM, THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN, UH, SOME OF THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT LANGUAGE THAT WE HAVE DONE BEFORE AS THIS IS ALL DEVELOPER FUNDED.

UM, AND WE ARE BASICALLY THE PASS THROUGH.

SO WHEN THE PROPERTY OWNER PAYS THOSE ASSESSMENTS, THEY WILL COME INTO THE COUNTY, THEY WILL SEND YOU US.

AND THEN WE WILL FORWARD ON TO THE DEVELOPER.

SO THE CITY DOES NOT FRONT ANY MONEY.

THANK YOU, SCOTT.

AND IT WORKS.

US RECOMMENDATION WAS TO ADOPT DOWN TO SEE THESE ARE EMOTION MS. BAKER AND MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT SECOND, MRS. BURKE, HAVE A MOTION ON A SECONDS, RIGHT.

DISCUSSION.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THIS.

I THINK I LIKE THE CHANGE.

UH, I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

HOWEVER, RECENTLY WE HAD A DISCUSSION AND WENT THROUGH PLANNING COMMISSION EVENTUALLY CAME TO US ABOUT, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT, UH, ON CHAMBERSBURG.

IS IT CDCS DEVELOPMENT WHERE WE HAD THE FLAG, LOTS OF THE FLAVORS THAT'S QUITE RICH, RICH MY BED, THE CORAL RIDGE DEVELOPMENT.

SO THE FLAG LOTS AND THE DISCUSSION ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THOSE WHO MOVED INTO THAT DIRECT AREA WOULD BE NOTIFIED AND UNDERSTAND HOW THAT LAYOUT WHATNOT WOULD BE BECAUSE IT WAS IMPORTANT.

I FEEL THAT THIS SITUATION IS SIMILAR FROM THE, JUST THE STANDPOINT OF, I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A PROCESS WHICH NOTIFIES PROPERTY PURCHASERS IN THAT AREA, THAT THEY, YOU KNOW, DEFINITIVELY THAT THEY WILL HAVE THESE ADDITIONAL, UM, ASSESSMENTS ON THEIR PROPERTY.

UH, IF THERE'S ANY WAY THAT WE CAN, WE CAN DO THAT OR ENSURE THAT THEY'RE AWARE OF THAT BECAUSE I HAVE HAD SOME MENTIONS IN THE PAST TO ME ABOUT, UH, FOLKS THAT WERE UNAWARE OF, OF CERTAIN ASSESSMENTS UP AND IN CARRIAGE TRAILS AND WISH THEY HAD KNOWN THAT PRIOR TO PURCHASE.

SO I THINK IT WOULD PROBABLY BE GOOD BUSINESS IF WE MADE SURE THAT THOSE FOLKS KNEW THAT THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE THIS EXTRA, WHAT IS IT? 600 BUCKS A YEAR.

I THINK IT IS ON THEIR TAXES.

UM, I, I THINK IT WOULD JUST BE A NICE COURTESY TO LET THEM KNOW, UH, MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW I CAN'T FORCE THIS, BUT I THINK IT'D BE A GOOD IDEA.

IT WAS BIRCH.

THEY KNEW THAT THEY ALREADY KNEW WHEN THEY SIGNED THE CONTRACT.

IT IS IN THE DOCUMENTS THAT THEY SIGNED FOR WHEN

[01:00:01]

THEY PURCHASE.

UM, BUT, UM, I WILL PASS ON TO THE, UM, BUILDERS TOO.

MAYBE MAKE IT MORE CLEAR.

OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS.

UP IS ITEM 11, G ITEM 11 G AND ORDINANCE, DETERMINING TO PROCEED WITH THE IMPROVEMENT OF PUBLIC STREETS AND EASEMENTS AND SECTION SIX PHASES FIVE, SIX, AND SEVEN BY CONSTRUCTING IN INSTALLING CERTAIN PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

GOT IT.

THIS LEGISLATION IS TO INSTALL THE NEW TRAFFIC SIGNAL, UH, SIMILAR TO THE ONE THAT'S IN FRONT OF, UH, STATION 23, UM, THAT WILL BE UTILIZED FOR, TO STOP TRAFFIC, UH, FOR EMERGENCY USE.

THANKS, SCOTT.

AND FOR A POINT OF CLARIFICATION, JUST IN WAIVING THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS, UH, I JUST WANT TO MAKE, MAKE IT AGAIN, KNOWING IF ANYBODY WOULD DIDN'T SEE THE WORK SESSION, UH, MR. WEBB HAD ASKED, UM, UH, RUSS, WHAT THE PURPOSE OF WAVING OR, OR I'M SORRY, WHEN THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS WERE, HE HAD SAID BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, THE CAPITOL LINE DOES A LOT OF WORK FOR US IN THE CITY.

THERE'S ONLY A COUPLE OF CONTRACTORS WHO DO THE KIND OF WORK, AND WE DIDN'T HAVE LUCK WITH ONE OF THE OTHER ONES.

AND SINCE WE HAVE THEM DO SO MUCH WORK IN THE CITY ALREADY, AND THEY TEND TO WAIVE THAT COMPETITIVE BIDDING.

SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THE REASON WE'RE DOING THAT.

UH, OKAY.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, IS THERE A MOTION AS BAKER MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT FOR A SECOND, SECOND AND THE MOTION AND A SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION MS. PAL, MS. BAKER? YES.

CAUGHT SOME COMMENTS CONCERNING THE, THE MONEY BEING SHIFTED FROM A MIAMI VILLA PROJECT CDBG FUND OVER TO TAKE CARE OF THIS.

THIS LEGISLATION IS TO GO OUT TO BID FOR THE DEMOLITION OF THE FURNITURE STORE.

AND THIS IS DUE TO A GRANT FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVED, UM, AS PART OF THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY PROCESS.

THANK YOU, SCOTT.

AND, UH, RECOMMENDATION THAT WORK SESSION WAS TO ADOPT, ASSIGN THE SAME AS THEIR MOTION.

THIS BIRD YEAH.

MOVE TO APPROVE.

IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, MS. BAKER SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION? YES MA'AM SIR.

UM, UH, AND, AND AGAIN, IN REVIEWING, UH, LAST WEEK'S MEETING, I'D

[01:05:01]

UH, I GUESS MY QUESTION QUESTIONS ARE, ARE A, ARE WE STILL LOOKING TO DO THE WORK DOWN IN MIAMI VILLA BECAUSE IT'S ABSOLUTELY, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDINGS THAT ARE DANGEROUS AND, AND NEED TO BE TAKEN DOWN IN PROPERTIES AND CLEANED UP.

UH, IF SO, HOW ARE WE FUNDING THOSE, THAT PROJECT? UM, I GUESS THOSE ARE MY FIRST QUESTIONS.

IF, IF YOU KNOW SCOTT, SO, UM, THE REASONING WAS SOME OF THE TIMING THAT WAS THROUGH THE COUNTY AND THE COUNTY HAD, UM, DELAYED A PORTION OF THIS.

SO WE MISSED SOME, UH, THE OPPORTUNITY FOR, UH, SOME OF THAT DOWN AT THE VILLAS.

WE ARE CONTINUING TO LOOK AT OTHER FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOME OF THOSE PROPERTIES OF THE VILLAGE AND A COUPLE OF THEM THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT HAVE SOLD, UM, OR AT LEAST ONE OF THEM HAS SOLD.

UM, SO IT WAS TAKEN OFF OF THE REGISTER TO BE ABLE TO DO OKAY.

SO YES, WE ARE CONTINUING TO LOOK AT OTHER OPPORTUNITIES.

AND THEN MY, UH, MY SECOND COMMENT QUESTION CONCERNING THIS PIECE OF LEGEND LEGISLATION, AND SIMPLY I KEEP SEEING A REFERENCE TO SOUTH POINT CROSSING, BUT WE'VE NEVER OFFICIALLY NAMED THAT AREA YET.

UM, I WORK, WE KEEP GOING WITH IT ON LEGISLATION, BUT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, IT'S STILL A MARION MEADOWS UNTIL WE OFFICIALLY GIVE IT A PROPER NAME.

UM, I, I'M JUST CONFUSED AS TO WHEN WE, WE DECIDED ON THEM, BUT I'LL LEAVE THAT AT THAT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? HELLO, DISCUSSION.

IS I HAVE NUMBER 12, WHICH IS CITY OFFICIAL REPORTS AND COMMENTS.

MS. PAL, MR. CAMPBELL.

KEN MOTION CARRIES SEVEN TO ZERO.

NEXT UP

[12. City Official Reports and Comments]

MA'AM UM, I DO HAVE A SMALL PRESENTATION DURING MY CITY OFFICIAL REPORTS AND COMMENTS.

I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE, UH, UH, CITY MANAGER, UM, UH, POWER UP THE SCREEN, UH, FOR ALL OF COUNCIL AND THE RESIDENTS HERE.

LET ME FIND OKAY.

SO RICHARD, WHAT'S THIS IN REGARD TO, YES, THIS IS AFRICA.

UH, THIS IS ACTUALLY SOME DISCUSSION I'VE HAD PREVIOUSLY WITH CITY STAFF, UM, UH, PARKS AND REC BOARD, UM, UH, MANY RESIDENTS AROUND DIAL, UM, AND THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

UM, WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THE DIAL PART PROPERTY, WE'VE HEARD THE CONCERNS, UM, AND THE COMMENTS OF THOSE NEIGHBORS THAT THE BIKE AMENITIES.

UM, WELL, IT SHOULDN'T BE THERE AND I, I THINK THAT'S BEEN MADE VERY CLEAR.

UM, SO DOING SOME, SOME RESEARCH AND GOING BACK ON SOME PREVIOUS, UH, COMMENTS AND, AND, AND, UH, FACTS.

UM, I, UM, I THINK I HAVE A WAY FORWARD.

UM, THIS INFORMATION WAS SENT OVER TO, UH, TO SCOTT AND OUR PARKS MANAGER.

UM, EARLIER TODAY, UM, I HAD TO WORK WITH A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PROFESSIONALS, UH, TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS DONE.

SO THAT'S WHY THE LATENESS IN IT.

UM, BUT, UH, THIS WAS A, THIS WAS ALLUDED TO EARLIER, UM, AND ACTUALLY HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR A FEW WEEKS AND I'D LIKE TO PRESENT IT NOW.

SO THAT WAY, UH, COME THE WORK SESSION, UM, UH, CITY STAFF, UM, UH, WOULD HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO, UM, VALIDATE ALL OF MY FACTS.

AND, UM, AND I BELIEVE, YOU KNOW, IN CORRELATION WITH THE, UH, LEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED ON JUNE 14TH, UM, I THINK, UH, WE CAN MAKE THIS A GO, UM, MAYOR.

UM, I, I HAVE, UH, MY FULL INTENTION IS, UH, UM, THIS EMAIL WILL BE SENT TO MRS. POWELL AND OUR CLERK COUNCIL TO BE ADDED INTO THE MEETING PACKET.

UM, I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS WASN'T PRESENTED DURING THE DIAL PARK DISCUSSION, BUT CITY COUNCIL, IF A CITY MANAGER ALREADY HAS THIS INFORMATION, THEN THEY CAN BE VALIDATING IT BEFORE THE NEXT WORK SESSION.

GOOD.

CAN THEY NOT? AND I WOULD REQUEST THAT IT'D BE MOVED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE DISCUSSION AT THE NEXT WORK SESSION WHEN WE HAVE MORE RESIDENTS HERE, BECAUSE THEY KNEW THAT WE WERE NOT GOING TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME DISCUSSING DIAL PARK TONIGHT.

AND IF HE GIVES IT TONIGHT, THE ONES THAT COME ON TUESDAY WON'T HAVE THE BENEFIT OF, OF THE DISCUSSION.

[01:10:03]

NOT ONLY FOR TONIGHT, BUT FOR TUESDAY, I'VE GOT NO PROBLEM REPRESENTING THIS ON TUESDAY, ONCE EVERYTHING IS VALIDATED.

SO ARE THERE ANY OTHER OBJECTIONS TO, UM, TO SEEING THIS PRESENTATION THIS EVENING, OR IS THE PREFERENCE TO MOVE IT TO, UM, MOVE TO THE WORK SESSION? WHY WOULD WE LISTEN TO IT TWICE? I UNDERSTAND I'M, I'M, I'M TRYING TO GET WITH THE, WITH THE REST OF THE COUNCIL.

THIS IS JUST FOR DISCUSSION.

I'M LOOKING FOR NO ACTION TONIGHT.

I GET THAT.

I, I MEAN, I WISH I WOULD HAVE SEEN IT FIRST.

I THINK EVERYBODY ON COUNCIL PROBABLY, UM, WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT'S IN THERE.

SO MAYBE MORE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE SHOWN UP TO, UM, TO SEE THAT.

SO BEFORE, I GUESS MS. BAKER, I WOULD LIKE TIME TO REVIEW THIS IF HE COULD SEND IT TO US AND THEN IT COULD BE, THE CITY CAN REVIEW IT AND THEN WE CAN ALL LOOK AT IT FRESHMAN, TUESDAY.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY OPINION, MR. ODDO? I WOULD SAY IF, UH, IF IT CONTAINS THE INFORMATION, I BELIEVE IT WILL.

IT SHOULD BE EXTREMELY BRIEF.

I, I, UM, NOW FOR CONSIDERING THIS, I THINK I'D RATHER SEE THAT IN A WORK SESSION WHERE PEOPLE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO, TO HEAR IT, SEE IT, UM, BE NOTIFIED AND THEN BE ABLE TO COME AND IN AND PARTICIPATE IN THAT DISCUSSION.

UM, I DON'T SEE ANY, ANY, ANY HARM IN THAT.

SO IF YOU WOULD PLEASE EMAIL WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO THE REST OF THE COUNCIL, AND THEN I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR DISCUSSION AND YOUR PRESENTATION ON TUESDAY, MARY, I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THAT THIS IS DURING SECTION 12, THE CITY OFFICIAL REPORTS AND COMMENTS AS THE FACT THAT I'M LOOKING TO MAKE A REPORT AND COMMENT.

I BELIEVE THIS IS THE MOST APPROPRIATE TIME TO DO IT WITHOUT OBJECTION AS STATED, UH, AS A, AS A, AS A, IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS FINE, BUT AS A PRESENTATION, I'D PREFER TO WAIT UNTIL TUESDAY, BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO, UH, TO CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT IT THEN.

UM, SCOTT, I CERTAINLY DO APOLOGIZE.

UM, SO, UH, THE INFORMATION THAT WAS SENT IN, UH, SENT OUT TO, UH, TO CITY STAFF AND HAS BEEN WORKED ON, UM, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF COMMUNICATION, UM, ABOUT THE, THE BIKE AMENITIES, THE PUMP TRACK AND THE SKILLS TRACK.

UM, IT IS MY PROPOSAL, UH, TO MOVE THOSE AMENITIES TO OUR COMMUNITY CENTER AT 43 0 1 POWELL ROAD, UH, WHERE THERE IS, UH, AMPLE AMOUNT OF SPACE.

UH, THE COMMUNITY CENTER ITSELF IS CITY OWNED.

THE BUILDING WAS BUILT USING CDBG FUNDS.

UH, THERE'S OVER 30 PARKING SPOTS AVAILABLE, EXISTING PICNIC SHELTER, UM, EXISTING UTILITIES, BATHROOM, UH, BASKETBALL COURT, AND IT'S ADA ACCESSIBLE.

UH, THE COMMUNITY CENTER ITSELF HAS A TOTAL OF 9.27 ACRES.

UM, THE TOTAL OPEN AREA AROUND THE FACILITY, BASKETBALL COURT, PICNIC SHELTER AND PARKING LOT IS OVER 500 ACRES.

UM, AND, UM, WHAT I DID HAVE IN MY PRESENTATION, I APOLOGIZE.

IT WON'T BE SHOWN IS A COMPLETE RENDERING, UH, SHOWING, UH, THOSE SKILLS TRACKING THAT PUMP TRACK IN THE AREA.

UH, PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR PARK MANAGERS, STATES THAT THE, UM, UH, EXISTING, UH, PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT THERE ON SITE, UM, IS UNSAFE AND DOES NOT PASS INSPECTION AND NEEDS TO BE REMOVED ASAP.

UM, IT IS, UH, MY, UM, MY REQUEST WITHIN THE ORDINANCE THAT WAS PASSED ON JUNE 14TH, UM, TO, UH, TO UTILIZE THAT ORDINANCE, UH, AND THE DIRECT FUNDING THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE TO MAKE THE NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, BY REMOVING THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT, UM, PROVIDING THE PLAN TO RESURFACE THE BASKETBALL COURT IN PARKING LOT, UM, AND START IMMEDIATELY ON A COMMUNITY GARDENS PROJECT ALONG WITH THIS BY COMMUNITY.

UM, I THINK, UH, IT IS TIME THAT THE CITY HAS BEEN ASKING FOR A COMMUNITY CENTER, UH, AND ITS CITY AND ITS COUNCIL TO PUT THE FULL WEIGHT OF A MULTI-GENERATIONAL, UM, UH, FACILITY BEHIND IT.

UM, THIS PROPOSAL WOULD, UH, WOULD KNOCK OFF, UH, NEARLY 60% OF THE TOP 25 ITEMS ON THE MASTER PARKS PLAN WAS PRESENTED BY THIS COUNCIL AND APPROVED BY THE PARKS AND REC BOARD.

UM, I THINK IT'S A WIN-WIN FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, UM, AND UNLESS STAFF TELLS ME OTHERWISE, UM, I THINK IT CAN BE DONE, UH, FOR LESS THAN THE, UH, AMOUNT THAT WAS APPROVED ON JUNE 14TH.

UM, I THINK A LOT OF VOLUNTEER HOURS CAN GO INTO THAT.

I KNOW A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS HAVE ALREADY, UM, I'VE BEEN LOOKING INTO THAT FACILITY.

UM, I THINK WE NEED TO PUT THE FULL WAY TO THE CITY IN THIS COUNCIL BEHIND IT, UM, TO DATE AND SCOTT, PLEASE, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

WE'VE ONLY HAD ONE CITY EVENT AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER THUS FAR, WHICH WAS THE ART SHOW.

THAT'S THE ONLY CITY EVENT IT HAS BEEN YOU, IT HAS BEEN USED.

UM, SO, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT WE'RE ALMOST SEVEN AND A HALF MONTHS INTO THE YEAR, UM, AND ONLY ONE CITY EVENT, UM, I MEAN, SHOWS THAT I KNOW IMPROVEMENTS NEED TO BE DONE

THERE.

UM, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE EMAILED THE MAYOR AND THE CITY MANAGER, UM, PREVIOUS AND CURRENT, UM, TO, UH, YOU KNOW, TRY TO PUT THE FULL WEIGHT OF THE CITY BEHIND THIS COMMUNITY CENTER.

UM, I THINK NOW'S THE TIME, UH, THIS COUNCIL'S ALREADY AUTHORIZED THE FUNDING, UM, TO DO NOT ONLY THE, THE DIAL PARK, UM, UH, MOUNTAIN BIKE IMPROVEMENT THERE, BUT TO MOVE THE REST OF THE AMENITIES DOWN, UM, UH, TO A, AN AREA OF TOWN, UM, WHICH I THINK WOULD DEFINITELY, UM, WELCOME SOME IMPROVEMENT, UH, IN OUR SOUTHERN END OF HUBER HEIGHTS, UH, WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS DOWN IN APARTMENTS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT REALLY ARE STRUGGLING TO LOOK AND TO FIND ENTERTAINMENT AND THINGS TO DO WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

UH, I SPOKE TO SEVERAL BUSINESS OWNERS DOWN THERE, UH, AND EVEN A CHURCH, UM, THAT I THINK WOULD LOVE TO, TO HELP OUT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, UH, TO MAKE THIS, UM, A REALITY.

UH, SO MAYOR, THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN SENT OUT TO THE CITY MANAGER AND THE PARKS MANAGER EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON AFTER, UM, A MULTITUDE OF DISCUSSION, UH, THIS EVENING, UM, AFTER THIS MEETING IS OVER, I'LL SEND IT OUT TO ALL OF COUNCIL, INCLUDING THE CLERK OF COUNCIL, UH, TO BE INCLUDED IN THE WORK SESSION DISCUSSION FOR TUESDAY.

AND THE REPORTS, COMMENTS, THE TRIAL I'D LIKE TO ECHO MR. SHAW'S COMMENTS CONCERNING THAT A LOCATION CHANGE PO POTENTIAL, AND ALSO SAY THAT W WITH THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS AND THE DATE AND FOP BUILDINGS THERE, UM, THERE, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A LOT OF COLLABORATION THERE TO WORK WITH THE KIDS.

UH, I THINK THAT'S ALSO AN AREA OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN UNDERSERVED WHEN IT COMES TO PARK AREAS AND, AND THINGS FOR KIDS TO DO.

I THINK IT'D BE A VERY NICE LOCATION FOR IT.

UM, I THINK IT'S A GREAT COMPROMISE, UH, IT'S NOT SURROUNDED BY HOMES, UH, IT'S APARTMENTS.

AND LIKE I SAID, KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS AND THE DATE AND FOP, AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT.

I THINK IT'S A, AGAIN, I THINK IT'S A GREAT COMPROMISE.

I'D LOVE TO SEE MOVE FORWARD.

I HAVE THE REPORTS AND COMMENTS.

MR. KIM, A QUESTION FOR RICHARD, UH, DID YOU PUT YOUR PRESENTATION AWAY ALREADY? SORRY.

I, I DID WHAT I CAN BRING IT BACK UP.

SO COULD YOU OUTLINE AGAIN WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING TO DO THERE JUST BRIEFLY? SURE.

UM, CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT, UM, THIS PROPOSAL WOULD REMOVE THE EXISTING PLAYGROUND AS IT'S UNSAFE AND DOES NOT PASS INSPECTION THE INSTALLATION OF THE BICYCLE SKILLS PARK INSTALLATION OF BICYCLE PLAYGROUND, AND PUMP TRACK DEDICATED AREA FOR COMMUNITY GARDENS, RESURFACE BASKETBALL COURT, AND PARKING LOT AND ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS AS IDENTIFIED BY THE PARKS MANAGER.
