Oct 19, 2021 Council Work Session

GOOD EVENING.

UH, SO, UM, GOT A COUPLE ITEMS TONIGHT WANTING TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE, UH, DOWN AT MANITA FIELD.

UH, THEY ARE GOING STRONG ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PUMP TRACK AND THE BMX TRACK.

UH, SO THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF THE MOVING OF THE DIRT'S PUTTING IN ALL THE UNDER DRAINS, UH, ALL OF THAT KIND OF THING.

THE SKATE PARK, THE RAMPS, THOSE ARE NOW SCHEDULED FOR DELIVERY THIS COMING MONDAY.

UH, SO, UM, THAT WAS ABOUT A WEEK LATER THAN WHAT WE ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED, BUT THEY ARE NOW SCHEDULED TO BE OUT THERE AND ON MONDAY TO BE WORKING.

SO THEY'LL HAVE ALL THREE PIECES BEING WORKED ON AT THE SAME TIME.

ALSO, UH, WE'VE GOT THE LEAF PICKUP IS COMING UP, STARTING ON NOVEMBER 1ST AND, UH, WE'LL GET THROUGH AT LEAST TWO PASSES.

IT'S WEATHER DEPENDENT ON WHETHER WE CAN DO ANY MORE.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT LATE IN THE SEASON OF LEAVES ARE NOT COMING OFF THE TREES AS EARLY AS SOME YEARS.

BUT, UH, SO WE'LL, WE'LL SEE HOW, UH, WINTER COMES IN AND IF THAT AFFECTS ANY OF THAT, UH, THAT PICKUP.

SO, UM, MIKE AND HIS, UH, CREWS WILL TAKE CARE OF AS MUCH AS THEY CAN THEN.

UH, ALSO SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY EXCITING THAT, UH, WAS OUT IN SALT TODAY IS DOWN AT THE VETERANS MEMORIAL.

THEY HAVE INSTALLED ALL OF THE GRANITE MONUMENTS.

NOW THEY WERE DELIVERED AT THE END OF LAST WEEK.

THEY HAD A LARGE CRANE OUT THERE TODAY, SETTING ALL THOSE IN PLACE, AND I THINK IT LOOKS AMAZING.

UM, THAT'S, UH, IT'S, THEY'RE ALL LINED UP CORRECTLY AND, UH, THEY, THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH SETTING THOSE IN PLACE.

SO NOTHING BROKE.

SO THAT'S GOOD.

I'M BROKE.

UH, SO IT'S, UM, THERE, RIGHT ON SCHEDULE FOR, UH, MOVING FORWARD WITH THE, UH, THE DEDICATION COMING UP IN NOVEMBER.

SO THERE'S STILL A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO BE DONE.

UH, SOME THINGS, UH, UH, THE, UH, ELECTRIC SCOTT, UH, FINALIZED EVERYTHING CONNECTED TODAY.

SO THEY'RE PUTTING IN THE LIGHTING CONTROLLERS NEXT AND TESTING THAT THE, UH, IRRIGATION SYSTEM, UH, GETTING THAT GOING SEEDING SO THAT HOPEFULLY WE MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF GRASS HERE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO CAUSE IT'S PERFECT TIME OF YEAR TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

SO, UM, AND, UH, THAT DEDICATION NOVEMBER 6TH, 11:00 AM.

SO FOR ANYBODY WATCHING.

SO THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO DO.

THANKS SCOTT.

ANY QUESTIONS FIRST SCOTT? YES.

AS FAR AS THE VETERANS, DO WE KNOW ANY MORE ABOUT THEIR BRICKS FOR SALE OR WE GET DOING THAT OR WE'RE GONNA WAIT TO NEXT.

SO THERE IS A PLAN BEEN WORKED ON AND, UM, MR. GRAY IS A PART OF THAT AND THE COMMISSION IS WORKING ON WHAT THAT, HOW THAT PLAN WILL WORK.

SO BASICALLY, UM, THEY'RE PUTTING IN CONCRETE PAVERS NOW AND THEY'LL REPLACE THEM WITH SOME OF THE GRANITE PAVERS THAT ARE ETCHED WITH THE DOMAIN WHO THE DONI, UM, AT THAT POINT IN TIME, BUT ALL THAT'S BEING WORKED OUT THROUGH THE COMMISSION.

HAVE WE GOT A PROJECTED DEADLINE? I KEEP GETTING QUESTIONS ON THAT AS TO WHEN PEOPLE WILL HAVE THE INFORMATION TO START ORDERING.

I'M HOPING THAT THERE'S A COMMISSION MEETING.

WAS IT NEXT WEEK THAT, UH, W EVERYTHING COULD BE FINALIZED THEN AND GET SOMETHING OUT TO THE PUBLIC? OKAY.

THE QUESTIONS FOR SCOTT.

THREE B, WHICH IS A MONTGOMERY COUNTY SERVER FEE THROUGH THE POLICE DIVISION, SCOTT, UH, THAT ITEM A, THE POLICE CHIEF REQUESTED THAT THAT BE PULLED FROM THIS AGENDA.

NEXT UP IS ITEM

[ Montgomery County Server Fee – Police Division]

THERE WAS A, UM, AN ITEM THAT'S STILL BEING DISCUSSED BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND ALL OF THE USERS THAT HASN'T BEEN COMPLETELY WORKED OUT YET.

SO, UM, UH, ABOUT, UH, PART OF THE DISCUSSION IS ABOUT,

[00:05:01]

UM, IF THERE IS ANY KIND OF, UM, UM, I GUESS, UM, BREAK-INS OR HACKING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, HOW THAT GETS WORKED OUT SO THAT THOSE ISSUES ARE STILL BEING WORKED OUT BEFORE WE WANT TO BRING THIS FORWARD.

SO, OKAY.

IF WE CAN MOVE ON FROM THAT AND BRING IT FORWARD AT A FUTURE WORKING SESSION.

WHICH IS AMEN, UH, TO NOT TO EXCEED THEM OUT FOR CAPITAL ELECTRIC THROUGH THE PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION.

NEXT IS I AM THREE C,

[ Amend Not To Exceed Amount - Capital Electric - Public Works Division]

THAT'S MIKE, MIKE.

I KNEW YOU WEREN'T THERE JUST TO LOOK FOR YOU, BASICALLY, THIS IS A LIMIT NOT TO EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF REGULAR LEGISLATION.

UM, MIKE, MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR MICROPHONE, MAKE SURE THAT'S TURNED ON, AND HE'S JUST NOT PICKING YOU UP.

YOU CAN COVER THE PODIUM TO, YES, BASICALLY THIS IS LEGISLATION TO AMEND THE AMOUNT TO NOT EXCEED FOR THE YEARLY CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE WITH CAPITAL ELECTRIC, FOR ELECTRICAL SERVICES.

THERE'S ALREADY BEEN PASSED, APPROVED BY COUNCIL, UM, TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO.

UM, AND BASICALLY THIS IS TO, UM, COVER FUNDS FOR AN ELECTRICAL BOX THAT HAS BEEN RAN OVER, UM, FOR THE FEES OF ABOUT $35,000.

UM, IS IT 2 0 2 AND POWELL ROAD? UM, SOMETIMES THESE THINGS HAPPEN, YOU KNOW, IN THE PAST 10 YEARS I'VE HAD, IT HAPPENED ABOUT THREE TIMES.

SO UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL TO ASK FOR ADDITIONAL ONES TO EXCEED THESE.

THESE FUNDS WILL ALSO BE WITH THE HOPE OF BEING REIMBURSED BY THE INSURERS, THE MOTORIST INSURANCE.

SO IS THERE JUST TO CONTINUE WITH THE CONTRACT AND RESOLUTION, IT'S JUST FORMALITY KIND OF THINGS.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MIKE OR ANY OBJECTIONS? MOVE THAT ON TO THE NEXT MEETING.

THANKS, MIKE.

SHERRY, BASED ON YOUR EMAIL, W DID YOU RECOMMEND ANY AMENDMENTS TO THAT THAT WE NEEDED TO WORK OUT BEFORE MONDAY? NO.

NO, I WASN'T SURE IT'S ONLY ONE YEAR LEFT, I BELIEVE ON THE CONTRACT ANYWAY, IT WAS A THREE-YEAR CONTRACT.

SO I WAS WASN'T SURE IF THIS IS EACH YEAR OR JUST FROM THE FIVE YEAR.

SO JUST TO CLARIFY, THIS INCREASE IS JUST FOR THIS YEAR ONLY, NOT EACH YEAR OF THE CONTRACT.

SO THAT WAS THE QUESTION THAT WENT BACK AND FORTH TODAY, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR AN INCREASE ON A PER YEAR BASIS, BUT THIS IS JUST A ONE-TIME THING.

CORRECT.

I WILL BE COMING BEFORE YOU IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR THE ADDITIONAL SERVICE FEE FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S A DIFFERENT LEGISLATION THOUGH.

THIS IS JUST FOR THE CURRENT CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE WITH THEM TO COVER THE CURRENT COSTS WITH THE INTERSECTION THAT HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, THIS HAD THE TROUBLES OF SAID, OKAY, OKAY.

AND THE DAMAGES.

SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, UH, NOW WE'VE CLARIFIED FOR EITHER ANYONE SCOTT, JERRY, MIKE.

WHICH IS THE OWW WATER REVENUE BOND REFINANCING.

NEXT TIME, THREE D

[ OWDA Water Revenue Bond Refinancing * Refunding Series 2013A Water Revenue Bonds]

GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, OR YES, SIR.

I AM DOING WELL.

HOW ABOUT YOURSELF? VERY GOOD.

GOOD, GOOD.

I'VE GOT SEVERAL ITEMS HERE.

UM, THE, UM, WATER REVENUE BONDS, UH, FROM 2013 AND 2014, UH, CAN BE RENEWED.

I'M SORRY.

WE FINANCED.

AND, UM, WE FOUND THAT RATHER THAN GOING OUT INTO THE MARKET, UH, OHIO WATER DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, O WTA FOR SHORT, UM, HAS A NEW LOAN PROGRAM FOR REFINANCING.

SO WE'RE, I THINK THE FIRST OR SECOND CITY THAT'S GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS.

AND I REMEMBER YOU TALKING ABOUT THAT IN ANOTHER MEETING PRAYER.

ANDY WAS HERE TALKING ABOUT OUR COMPLETE DEBT STRUCTURE AND, AND, UH, BROUGHT IT UP AT THAT TIME.

SO, UM, HERE COMES THE LEGISLATION, UM, IN ORDER, GET THIS ALL TAKEN CARE OF BY 12 ONE.

WE NEED TO GET THIS PAST MONDAY NIGHT.

AND SO THE FIRST ORDINANCE, UM, AS I DETAILED IN YOUR COUNCIL PACKETS, THE, UH, THE BONDS THAT WERE REFINANCING ARE, UH, HAVE AN AVERAGE COUPON RATE OF 4.7%.

AND THIS FIRST ONE, WE CAN GET AN ESTIMATED, UH, INTEREST RATE FROM OF 1.7%.

SO WE'RE SAVING 3% ON THOSE, AND THAT EQUATES TO A LITTLE OVER A MILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS OF SAVINGS JUST ON THIS ONE, WHICH COMES OUT TO BE ABOUT $90,000 PER YEAR AND OUR DEBT SERVICE IN THE WATER FUND.

SO THAT'S, UH, UH, EXCELLENT, UH, NEARLY UNHEARD OF, TO BE THAT, THAT MUCH OF A SAVINGS.

THE, UH, THE SECOND ONE, WHICH IS A SERIES 2013 B UH, THAT ONE, UH, WE HAVE A COUPON RATE ON THAT OF ABOUT 4.3%.

UH, WE, WE BELIEVE THE NEW ONES WILL COME IN AT ABOUT 1.5%.

SO THERE'S A 2.8% SAVINGS.

UH, THIS ONE'S A SMALLER ISSUE, ONLY 735,000.

SO THE SAVINGS THERE IS JUST $44,687, OR

[00:10:01]

ABOUT $9,000 PER YEAR.

THAT'S THE ONLY GOING TO BE A FIVE-YEAR ISSUE.

AND THEN THE THIRD ONE, OUR, UH, UM, UH, WATER REVENUE REFUNDING BONDS THAT WE DID IN 2014, THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THOSE WERE SET OVER $7.8 MILLION.

AND, UH, ONCE AGAIN, THE AVERAGE COUPON ON THOSE WAS 3.2, 3.2%, AND WE BELIEVE THE NEW RAVE WILL BE, UM, UH, 1.2%, OF COURSE, OBVIOUSLY, UM, AS SOON AS COUNCIL PASSES, THIS, THEN THEY'LL GO INTO THE MARKET.

THESE ESTIMATES WERE BASED ON A SEPTEMBER RATE.

SO, UM, THERE'S REALLY, HASN'T BEEN A WHOLE LOT OF FLUCTUATION, MAYBE CREEPING A LITTLE BIT HIGHER, BUT WE THINK THESE ARE GOOD ESTIMATES.

AND THE SAVINGS FOR THIS ONE WILL BE, UH, SLIGHTLY OVER $1 MILLION OR, UM, EQUATE THAT TO ANNUALLY A HUNDRED, $4,000 PER YEAR.

SO THE THREE COMBINED WOULD BE A SAVINGS OF $2.6 MILLION.

SO, UM, UH, LIKE I ALWAYS SAY, WHEN WE CAN'T EARN MONEY ON OUR INVESTMENTS RIGHT NOW, UH, YOU KNOW, VERY LOW INTEREST RATES, THEN TAKE TIME TO LOOK AT ALL OF YOUR DEBT.

AND THIS IS DEBT THAT DEFINITELY BY REFINANCING CAN SAVE THE CITY SIGNIFICANT DOLLARS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

SO WE THINK THIS IS A GOOD TO MOVE FORWARD.

AND, UH, THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT ONES.

I WAS HOPING TO BE ABLE TO COMBINE THEM ALL INTO ONE LOAN AT OWT EA, BUT THAT'S NOT HOW THEY WANTED TO HANDLE IT.

THEY WANTED TO HANDLE IT AS THREE SEPARATE ONES.

SO I'M GOING WITH THEIR RECOMMENDATION.

SO ALL THREE WERE ISSUED AS SEPARATE ORDINANCES IN YOUR PACKET.

THESE NEED TO BE A SECOND WAITING RAVED, SECOND READING WAIVED, OR YES, BECAUSE THEY'RE AN ORDINANCE, UH, IT WOULD HAVE, IT WOULD REQUIRE TWO READINGS, UM, AND THEY REQUEST WAIVED.

UH, YES, I AM ASKING FOR THE SECOND READING TO BE WAIVED.

UH, OH, WTA HAS SAID THAT, UH, THEY NEED ALL THIS, UH, THE CERTIFIED ORDINANCE, UH, GIVEN TO THEM BY THE 27TH.

AND I BELIEVE OUR COUNCIL MEETINGS ON THE 25TH.

SO WE HAVE, UH, ENOUGH TIME TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.

ANY QUESTIONS OR OBJECTIONS? YES.

JUST A QUICK COMMENT.

UM, GENTLEMEN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WORK YOU PUT INTO THIS THAT'S SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS AND WE APPRECIATE THAT.

AND THAT'S A GREAT RATE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS.

NEXT UP IS ITEM THREE, WHICH IS SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS GYM.

[ Supplemental Appropriations]

UM, AND I WOULD ADD THAT ON THE LAST LEGISLATION, UH, EACH ONE OF THOSE ORDINANCES IS AN EMERGENCY, UH, ORDINANCE, SO IT WILL GO INTO EFFECT RIGHT AWAY.

THAT'S THAT ACTUALLY, TONY, YOU JUST MENTIONED THAT THAT'S THE REASON WHY IT'S EMERGENCY.

UH, HAVE BEFORE YOU, UM, UH, SEVERAL, UH, SUPPLEMENTAL ITEMS, UH, FOR THE BUDGET.

AND THEN I PUT AT YOUR PLACES, UH, ON YOUR DESK THERE, UM, A COUPLE OF EXTRA, ADDITIONAL ONES THAT I HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW ON THOSE.

SO I'LL GO OVER EACH OF THOSE NOW, UH, WE RECEIVED SOME FEMA FUNDS, UH, $18,392 51 CENTS.

SO, UH, THAT, UH, REVENUE COMES INTO OUR FEMA FUND.

UH, WE NEED TO TRANSFER THAT MONEY OUT TO THE FIRE FUND TO PAY FOR THE OVERTIME THAT WAS EARNED ON THE, UM, UH, DEPLOYMENT, UH, FOR HURRICANE LAURA EARLIER THIS YEAR.

SO, UH, WE WANT TO BRING DOWN OUR EXPENSES THAT WE HAD ALREADY SPENT IN FIRE FOR THAT, UH, $14,700 FOR, UM, AN UNANTICIPATED RETIREMENT, UH, IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

UH, THEN WE HAVE, UM, $156,472, UH, FOR OUR AQUATIC CENTER IMPROVEMENTS.

AND I BELIEVE THIS IS ON THE AGENDA FOR SCOTT TO DISCUSS LATER IN THIS MEETING.

UH, BUT, UH, WE HAD TALKED AND HE SAID, GO AHEAD AND PUT THAT ON, UH, BETTER TO, FOR COUNCIL TO SEE IT BEFORE WE DISCUSS IT.

AND IF THAT CHANGES LATER IN THE MEETING, LET ME KNOW.

AND I CAN AMEND THAT BEFORE MONDAY.

UM, THE NEXT ITEM IS $44,400, UH, FOR ANOTHER UNANTICIPATED RETIREMENT THAT'S OF AN ENGINEERING INSPECTOR.

AND, UH, YOU'LL SEE THAT SPREAD OVER THREE DIFFERENT FUNDS BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THAT PERSON'S SALARY IS PAID IN THREE SEPARATE FUNDS.

AND THEN, UM, THE REFINANCING THAT WE'RE DOING, UM, FOR THE 2013 AND 14 WATER BONDS THAT I JUST DISCUSSED, THAT WAS NOT, UH, IN OUR BUDGET.

SO WE NEED TO BUDGET FOR THAT, AND THAT'LL BE ON THE REVENUE SIDE AND THE EXPENSE SIDE.

SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S A LARGE NUMBER, 12 MILLION, $914,000, UH, THERE'LL BE REVENUE PROCEEDS FROM THE, UH, FROM THE OWA LOAN THAT WILL COVER THE EXPENSES OF PAYING OFF THOSE OLD BONDS.

SO, UH, THAT'LL BE A WASH.

AND THEN THE NEW ITEMS TONIGHT, UH, WE'VE LOOKED AT THE, UM, WHERE WE'RE AT ON THE YEAR, UH, FOR LEGAL EXPENSES, UH, WITH PICKEREL, SCHAEFER AND EBELING.

AND, UM, I'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF WORK FOR US AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE WILL NEED AN ADDITIONAL $60,000 TO GET THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO I'M ASKING, UH, AS I TYPICALLY DO, USUALLY IN OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, EACH YEAR, UM, IF IT COMES TO THAT, UH, I BELIEVE WE WILL NEED AN ADDITIONAL 60.

WE MAY NOT SPEND ALL THAT, OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T KNOW, BUT I'M TRYING TO HAVE A GOOD ESTIMATE FOR GETTING THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR FOR THAT.

AND THEN THE OTHER ITEM WHICH COUNCIL APPROVED TWO WEEKS AGO WAS A SUEZ MAINTENANCE ITEMS

[00:15:01]

THAT THEY BROUGHT.

I THINK RUSS BROUGHT THEM TO COUNCIL'S ATTENTION AND BETWEEN WATER AND SEWER, THE TOTAL, THERE IS $160,000, AND THAT WAS SOMETHING COUNCIL HAD APPROVED A TWO WEEKS AGO, BUT IT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT PART OF AN INCREASE TO THE BUDGET.

SO I'M BRINGING IT TO YOU AT THIS TIME.

JERRY, IS THERE, COULD YOU GET US SOME DETAILS ON WHAT SOME OF THESE EXTRA EXPENSES ARE? I KNOW THAT THERE'S LOTS OF WORK THAT'S HAPPENING, BUT, UM, 60 GRAND'S A LOT.

I JUST, IF YOU COULD, UM, MAYBE SHARE WITH COUNCIL, PUT SOME THAT STUFF TOGETHER SO WE CAN GET KIND OF A DETAILED LIST OF JUST SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING WITH SOME OF THOSE EXPENSES ARE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS.

APPRECIATE IT.

ANY OBJECTIONS TO MOVE INTO SUPPLEMENTAL ON TO MONDAY'S MEETING? WAIT THE SECOND READING SOMETHING ELSE.

DO WE NEED TO, UM, WE HAVE THOSE OR KNOW BASED ON WHAT EXPENSES ARE THAT WOULD DEPEND? I THINK THE ONLY ITEM, UM, I THINK EVERYTHING COULD WAIT EXCEPT POSSIBLY THE AQUATIC CENTER IMPROVEMENTS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW QUICKLY WE NEED TO MOVE ON THOSE.

UM, THE OTHER, LIKE THE RETIREMENTS I THINK ARE HAPPENING LATER IN NOVEMBER.

SO, UM, EVERYTHING OUTSIDE OF WHAT POSSIBLY IS NEEDED FOR THE AQUATIC CENTER WOULD, UH, COULD GO TO A SECOND READING.

SCOTT, WHAT DO YOU THINK IF WE CAN WEIGH THE SECOND RATING, WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT, UM, TO GET MOVING ON SOME THINGS WHILE WE STILL HAVE SOME GOOD WEATHER.

WE'LL ASK FOR IT AND WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OKAY.

UP IS ITEM THREE F WHICH IS THE GIRLS SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION FIELD LEASES.

[ Girls Softball Association - Field Leases]

SCOTT.

THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED AT A COUPLE OF PREVIOUS MEETINGS ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF MOVING FORWARD WITH SOME LONG-TERM LEASES WITH SOME OF OUR FIELDS, THE, UH, GIRL'S SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION HAS REQUESTED.

UM, WE USUALLY HAVE BEEN GOING JUST A YEAR BY YEAR AND ACCORDING TO OUR PARKS AND REC MANUAL, UH, STAFF CAN ONLY APPROVE A ONE YEAR LEASE OF A FIELD.

SO THAT IS THE REQUEST IS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A FIVE-YEAR LEASE, UH, FOR, UH, EACH OF THE FIELDS THAT THE GIRLS SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION WILL USE.

NOW, THIS WILL INCLUDE THE ONES THAT TOM CLOUD PARK, THE ONES THAT THEY CURRENTLY USE, UH, THAT ARE AROUND THE CONCESSION STANDS PLUS THE ADDITIONAL ONES THAT THEY'RE GOING TO START UP THE REC BASEBALL LEAGUE WITH, AND THEN THE ONES THAT MANITA AS WELL FOR A REC BASEBALL TYPE USE A PART OF A QUESTION THAT I HAD WAS WHAT IF THE LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL WHO CAME OUT AND SAID THAT, UH, THEY WOULD NOT BE USING OR WANTING TO USE THE FIELDS THIS YEAR, THAT THEY, UM, ARE ALL IN SUPPORT OF A REC BASEBALL LEAGUE BEING RUN BY GIRLS SOFTBALL.

UM, MY QUESTION WAS, WHAT IF IN TWO YEARS THEY DECIDED THEY WANTED TO COME BACK? UM, I DO HAVE AN EMAIL FROM THE PRESIDENT THAT, UH, DOES STATE THAT THEY ARE, UM, TOTALLY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY ARE MOVING ON, THAT THEY WOULD LIKE THE GIRL'S SOFTBALL GROUP TO RUN WITH THE REC BASEBALL LEAGUE.

IF THE GIRL'S SOFTBALL WANTING TO TAKE OVER THE LITTLE LEAGUE CERTIFICATIONS, UH, THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP IT FOR A YEAR, THE, UM, REGISTRATION AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

AND IF THEY DECIDE THAT THEY WANT TO SWITCH TO THE LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL, THEN THEY CAN JUST TRANSFER THAT.

OR IF THEY WANT TO KEEP GOING WITH THE REC BASEBALL, THEN THEY'LL JUST LET THAT EXPIRE.

SO THEY ARE, HAVE NO PLANS OF COMING BACK AND THEY'RE ALL IN SUPPORT OF THE NEW GROUP MOVING FORWARD.

SO NO CONFLICT BETWEEN THOSE TWO OREGON'S PROGRAMS. OKAY.

SO WHAT THE REQUEST IS, IS TO PUT FORWARD LEGISLATION, TO ALLOW FOR THE CITY TO ENTER INTO FIVE-YEAR LEASE, UH, WITH THE STANDARD TERMS THAT WE DO PER YEAR, UM, TO, FOR EACH OF THOSE FIELDS, WITH THE GIRL'S SOFTBALL GROUP.

THANKS, SCOTT.

THIS IS, UH, A BOILER PLATE.

YEAH, I'VE GOT A FEW, UM, LOOKING THROUGH THIS, UH, THE FIRST THING THAT KIND OF JUMPED OUT TO ME WAS AN ITEM NUMBER TWO, WHERE THE COST IS.

I HAD MENTIONED THAT $200 PER FIELD REQUESTED FOR EACH YEAR, AND THEN GOES ON TO SAY AMOUNT SHALL BE PAYABLE MAY 1ST FOR SPRING SEASON IN JULY, FIRST FOR FALL SEASON OF EACH YEAR.

SO IS THAT TO MEAN THAT THAT'S TWO SEPARATE YEARS OR IS THIS SO, SO BASICALLY IF THEY HAVE NINE FIELDS, IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE TAKEN AND USE UTILIZING, WILL THAT BE 1800 A YEAR OR 36? OKAY.

SO TYPICALLY IT'S BEEN PER SEASON, SO, AND

[00:20:01]

SO THIS ALSO HAS BEEN USED LIKE FOR SOCCER.

SO TYPICALLY WHAT YOU SEE IS SOCCER AS THE FALL SEASON AND BASEBALL HAS THE EARLY SEASON.

AND AT CURRENT TIME THE SOFTBALL GROUP COULDN'T HAVE A FALL SEASON AT TOM CLOUD PARK BECAUSE OF SOCCER BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT LAKE IN THE FIELDS THEMSELVES.

SO WHAT'S, THE COST HAS BEEN, IS FOR A SEASON.

SO IF THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE A SPRING AND A FALL SEASON, THEY WOULD PAY $400 FOR THE YEAR FOR THOSE $200 PER SEASON OF THE FIELD.

SO WE CAN REWORD THAT.

GOOD.

CAN WE CLARIFY THAT IN THERE BECAUSE IT KIND OF MAKES OUT THE SOUND LIKE IT'S 200 PER FIELD PER YEAR.

UH, INITIALLY, UM, THE NEXT THING THAT POPPED OUT WAS ON AND NUMBER SIX UNDER MAINTENANCE, WHICH A LOT OF IT SOUNDED VERY REASONABLE TO ME UNTIL WE GOT TO, UM, SAYS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL MAINTENANCE AND PREPARATION, AND HE GOT TO BLEACHERS CONCESSION STAND AND STORAGE FACILITIES.

SO ARE WE SAYING THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE OF OUR CONCESSION STAND FOR REPAIRS ON OUR CONCESSION STAND, SAME WITH OUR BLEACHERS.

SO, AND WE CAN REWORD THIS TOO, BUT THE, FOR THINGS LIKE THE BUILDING ITSELF, THAT THAT'S ALL US SO MAINTENANCE, IF IT NEEDS PAINTED THAT'S US, BUT FOR THEM USING IT, THEIR FOOD, I DON'T USE ANY OF THE CLEAN AND KEEPING UP WITH THAT KIND OF MAINTENANCE WOULD BE ON THEM.

THEY HAVE UTILIZED STORAGE AREAS AS WELL.

SO, UM, THEIR PORTION OF USING THAT, SO I'LL FIGURE IT OUT, CLARIFY THAT AS WELL.

UM, SCHEDULING NUMBER NINE, I NOTICED THERE WAS JUST A BLANK IN THERE.

I THINK WE NEED TO JUST ASSIGN A PARTICULAR PERSON THAT SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THAT.

BE IT OUR PARKS AND REC MANAGER, BE IT A Y THE Y OR WHOEVER IT IS RATHER THAN HAVING A BLANK THERE, WE NEED THAT ONE.

I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE ONE CENTRAL ENTITY THAT JUST HANDLES THAT PERIOD AND NOT HAVE A BLANK THERE.

I MEAN, IT'S, IF THAT MAKES SENSE WAS JUST A SMALL NOTE.

UM, AND THEN NUMBER 11 UNDER ADVERTISEMENT, UM, THIS IS ANOTHER ONE, IT SAYS, UH, ANY REVENUES GENERATED BY ADVERTISING WILL BE USED FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THE MAINTENANCE AND CONTINUED RESIDENT RATE RENOVATION OF PARK, BASEBALL, SOFTBALL FIELDS.

UM, I GUESS I'M JUST LOOKING FOR SOME CLARIFICATION ON THAT, BECAUSE I COULD UNDERSTAND US ASKING FOR THEM TO, TO HELP WITH THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

IF IT'S A TRUE SPONSORSHIP FROM A COCA COLA AND UNDERARMOUR NIKE DICK'S SPORTING GOODS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHERE THEY'RE GETTING PAID, BUT LET'S SAY THAT THEY THREW UP A TEMPORARY BANNER OUT THERE ADVERTISING FOR THEIR LEAGUE FOR SIGNUPS OR WHATNOT.

UM, WOULD WE BE LOOKING TO PULL SOME OF THOSE FUNDS FROM THEM FOR THAT, BECAUSE THE WAY THIS READS IT'S A REVENUE GENERATED BY ADVERTISING.

UM, I WILL TRY TO FIND SOMETHING MORE CLEAR ON THAT BECAUSE YEAH, THE INTENT WOULD NOT BE USER FEES, RIGHT.

SOMEBODY PAYS TO JOIN THE LEAGUE BECAUSE OF ADVERTISING, WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WOULD NOT BE A TYPE OF INCLUSION IN THAT, SO.

UM, OUTSIDE OF THAT, UM, YEAH, I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR CLARIFICATION ON THOSE THINGS, AND I'M HOPING THAT WHEN WE GET THIS TO US, OBVIOUSLY WE'LL HAVE EVERYTHING, ALL THE BLANKS FILLED IN AND ALL THAT STUFF TIGHTENED UP.

UM, ONE LAST QUESTION ON, UH, I, WHEN WE HAD THE DISCUSSION, GOSH, A COUPLE YEARS AGO, UM, UH, RICHARD SHAW AND I HAD SPOKEN WITH SOME FOLKS OUT IN INGLEWOOD AND BROUGHT A COPY OF THEIR AGREEMENT, WHICH WAS LIKE A ONE-PAGE DOCUMENT.

UM, AND IT SEEMS SIMPLE TO THE POINT, VERY BASIC.

UM, AND WE'VE GOT A WHOLE, WE GOT THREE PAGES HERE.

IT JUST, I DON'T KNOW.

UM, I'D LIKE TO SEE THESE COMPARED SIDE BY SIDE AND I DON'T HAVE THAT DOCUMENT ANYMORE.

AND I, HE, I THINK HE PROVIDED THAT AND I ASKED HIM FOR HIM, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE IT'S AT, BUT IF YOU HAVE THAT DOCUMENTED ANYWHERE, UM, COULD WE GET THAT? AND, YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO JUST KIND OF, IF THIS COULD BE SIMPLIFIED, IT'D BE GREAT BECAUSE THIS IS A WHOLE LOT OF VERBIAGE FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE A PRETTY SIMPLE AGREEMENT.

I WILL SEE, UH, WE HAVE A COPY OF THAT.

YOU SAID ABOUT THREE.

I THINK IT WAS ABOUT TWO, MAYBE TWO, TWO, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT I KNOW IT WAS A, IT WAS INGLEWOOD, UH, CAUSE IT WAS OUT AT, UM, WHAT'S THAT, THAT FIELD, UH, I THINK IT'S INDEPENDENCE PARK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT ANYWAY.

UM, YEAH, THAT'S IT.

THAT'S ALL I HAD.

THE EVENT MANITA FIELD, WE NEED TO TAKE OUT ALL REFERENCE THROUGH THOMAS CLOUD AND FOR THE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? UM, YEAH, JUST, UH, JUST TO EDITING ON THE, UH, LEASE FOR

[00:25:01]

AND OBJECTIONS TO MOVING THE FIELD LISA'S ON TO MEETING ON MONDAY WITH THOSE CLARIFICATIONS.

3G, WHICH IS THE CROW KROGER AQUATIC CENTER PURCHASES.

NEXT UP IS ITEM

[ Kroger Aquatic Center Purchases]

SO ON THIS ONE, UH, THERE'S A COUPLE ITEMS. SO, UM, JOSH HAS BEEN MEETING WITH, UH, CHRIS LINDEMANN AND RODNEY UP THERE AND GOING THROUGH DOING OUR AUDIT OF MULTIPLE THINGS.

SO AT THE AQUATIC CENTER, THE, THE EICHELBERGER AND THE ROSE MUSIC CENTER THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT HERE ARE SOME OF THE FIRST LARGER TICKET ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR, UH, IDEAS OF AT SOME POINT IN TIME THAT WE NEED TO, UM, MOVE FORWARD WITH UP-KEEPING MAINTENANCE, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

SO THERE'S THREE ITEMS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO, UM, BE ABLE TO, UH, CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH, TO KEEP OUR FACILITY UP TO DATE, TO, UH, KEEP IT FROM LARGER COSTS IN THE FUTURE.

UH, THE FIRST IS THE PUMPS.

UM, SO WE HAVE REGULARLY BEEN, UH, EITHER MAINTAINING THE PUMPS, TAKING THEM OUT, UH, REPLACING DIFFERENT THINGS INSIDE THEM.

UM, SO THIS FIRST PORTION OF THE $30,000 IS FOR BASICALLY COVERS ALL OF THE PUMPS OUT THERE THAT, UH, MAKE SURE THEY ARE IN TOP WORKING CONDITION.

THE NEXT IS THE PAINTING OF THE ACTIVITY POOL.

UM, THAT IS, UH, NOT JUST THE POOL ITSELF, BUT THE STRUCTURES, UH, THAT ARE INCLUDED WITH THAT.

SO THAT JUST MAINTAINS THOSE AND KEEPS THOSE UP.

UM, AND THEN ALSO THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME FOR THE RESURFACING OF THE WATER SLIDES, AND THIS WOULD INCLUDE THE SLIDES THEMSELVES PLUS THE TOWER ITSELF.

UH, SO REDOING ALL THE CODING ON THAT, UM, BRINGING THAT UP TO, UM, FRESH NEW STANDARDS AND THAT COST IS THE LARGER COST OF ABOUT $94,000.

SO WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE AND SOME OF THOSE THINGS CAN BE DONE THIS FALL WHILE THE WEATHER IS GOOD.

UM, AND, UM, SO THAT BY NEXT YEAR, THE NEW SEASON EVERYTHING'S NICE AND FRESH.

UM, THERE ARE A COUPLE OTHER THINGS THEY'RE LOOKING AT.

THAT'S, UH, WE WILL COME BACK IN THE NEW YEAR WITH, UM, THINGS IN THE CONCESSION STAND THAT HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED SINCE IT'S BEEN OPENED.

SO THAT'S STILL BEING LOOKED AT, BUT THESE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT TRYING TO GET MOVING ON THIS YEAR.

AND THIS IS THE REASON THAT WE WANT TO WAIVE THE SECOND READING BECAUSE OF WE STILL HAVE TIME TO GET THIS STUFF DONE THIS YEAR.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? YES.

MA'AM SCOTT, UH, ITEM NUMBER TWO, THE PAINTING OF THE ACTIVITY POLE WITH THE LIGHT POLE PAINTING.

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE WE'VE DONE THAT? WHAT KIND OF INTERVALS HAVE ON? UM, I BELIEVE IT'S BEEN MAYBE FOUR YEARS AGO THAT WE DID THAT AND THAT'S, THAT'S A TYPICAL TIMEFRAME THAT, UM, IT'S BEEN DONE.

SO, UM, IN THAT FOUR TO FIVE YEAR RANGE.

ALRIGHT.

AND YOU SAID THIS IS THE FIRST TIME FOR THE WATER SLIDE? YES.

OKAY, GOOD.

THANK YOU, MAYOR SCOTT.

UM, WE HAVE, I NOTICED THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY IS NOT IN THE BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR.

DO WE HAVE IN THE BUDGET THAT WILL BE EVENTUALLY PRESENTED? DO WE HAVE A LINE ITEM TO ADD ADDITIONAL REPAIRS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT COSTS TO THE, UH, CORPORATE AQUATIC CENTER NEXT YEAR? YES.

THAT IS THE PLAN TO BRING FORWARD AT THE NEXT WORK SESSION TO HAVE, UH, THOSE, THE MONEY IN THAT BUDGET SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO COME AND ASK, MAKE THIS ASK DURING A COUNCIL MEETING.

RIGHT.

AND WE HAVE A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT, LIKE A FIVE-YEAR FORECAST FOR FIRE POLICE.

UM, I DON'T RECALL SEEING THE KROGER AQUATIC CENTER IN THERE SPECIFICALLY, BUT THERE IS A PARKS AND REC AND I THINK THERE MAY BE EVEN SOME LINE ITEMS THAT MAY BE IN THERE, BUT, UH, JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, UM, IS THAT GOING TO BE ADDED TO THAT FIVE-YEAR FORECAST AS WELL? YES, IT'S DEFINITELY.

UM, I DON'T RECALL OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD WHAT'S THAT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN SHOWS, BUT WE DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COURIER AQUATIC CENTER, THE ROSE MUSIC CENTER, THE EICHELBERGER ARE ON THOSE THAT YOU SEE EVERY YEAR FOR THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

AND OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.

ON TO, UM, ONTO MONDAY'S MEETING.

OBJECTIONS TO MOVING THIS

[00:30:01]

ITEM THREE H FIRE DIVISION POLICE DIVISION STAFFING LEVELS.

NEXT UP IS

[ Fire Division/Police Division Staffing Levels]

SCOTT.

SO AT THE LAST WORK SESSION, WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE, UH, THE, THE FIRE OWNERS MAINLY ABOUT THE FIRE DIVISION STAFFING LEVELS.

AND, UH, THE CHIEF WAS HERE AND DISCUSSED SOME OF THE THINGS HE WAS LOOKING AT.

ONE OF THE THINGS HE WAS TALKING ABOUT IS, UH, LOOKING AT NEXT YEAR, COMING BACK TO CITY COUNCIL WITH AN OVERALL PLAN, UH, SINCE HE'S BEEN THE CHIEF NOW FOR ABOUT EIGHT, NINE MONTHS, HAVING A LOT OF DATA THAT, UH, FOR THINGS LIKE RESPONSE TIMES AND, UM, W WHERE WE'RE GOING, WHAT PART OF THE CITIES WE'RE GOING TO MOST OFTEN, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

SO THAT DISCUSSION LED TO, CAN WE DO SOMETHING NOW IN THIS BUDGET CYCLE TO MOVE FORWARD? AND SOME NUMBERS LIKE THREE FIREFIGHTERS WERE THROWN OUT, UM, AFTER DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CHIEF, UM, HE IS MOVING FORWARD WITH GATHERING ALL THAT DATA.

WE DON'T HAVE EVERYTHING PUT TOGETHER RIGHT NOW TO MAKE THE, UH, WE'LL SAY THE 100% ASK WHETHER IT'S THREE PEOPLE, ZERO SIX PEOPLE, WHATEVER THAT NUMBER IS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GIVING YOU THE A HUNDRED PERCENT ACCURATE INFORMATION, UH, AT LEAST GET THROUGH THE OCTOBER DATA.

WHAT WE'RE DOING IS THE ONE THING THAT YOU'LL NOTICE IN BOTH POLICE AND FIRE WE'RE COMING OUT OF THE COVID TIMES AND HOW WE ARE, UH, SERVICING THE CITY.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, UH, THERE HAVE BEEN MORE RUNS DURING CERTAIN TIME PERIODS BASED ON COVID.

SO HOW THAT STRIPS OUT OF WHAT THE FUTURE LOOKS LIKE, UM, IS BEING ANALYZED RIGHT NOW TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BASING IT ON WHAT A TYPICAL YEAR WOULD BE.

SO, UH, WE WOULD LIKE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT SOMETHING THAT HAS MORE ACCURATE INFORMATION.

THANKS, SCOTT.

UM, OKAY, SO, SO THAT DISCUSSION, UH, WE'LL JUST, WE'LL REMOVE THIS EVENING FOR, FOR A LATER, A LATER DATE WHEN THAT'S READY.

SO I'M ASSUMING ONCE THEY HAVE THE DATA AND THEY'RE READY, THEN YOU'LL LET US KNOW.

WELL, THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF DATA RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S A LOT OF NUMBER CRUNCHING AND THEN A LOT OF, UH, THE NUMBER CRUNCHING AND THE, UH, OUR, UH, FINANCE DEPARTMENT AS WELL AND HOW ALL THAT GETS PAID FOR.

UM, SCOTT REAL QUICK.

I KNOW THIS IS THE BULK OF YOUR CONVERSATION WAS GEARED TOWARDS FIRE, BUT ARE WE GOING TO BE SEEING THE SAME DATA AND MATRIX FRONT COMING FROM OUR DEPARTMENT AS WELL, HAD THE CONVERSATION WITH THE POLICE CHIEF AS WELL? UM, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, I WOULD SAY WE HAVE ONE OF OUR OFFICERS THAT IS ON, UH, WE'LL SAY LOAN, UH, FOR, UH, THAT'S, UH, UM, DEPLOYED IN THE STATE OF OHIO THAT WE HAVE STILL ON OUR BOOKS.

SO HE'S NOT WORKING HERE, BUT WE CAN'T FILL HIS SPOT.

UM, SO WE'RE WORKING ON THE TABLE OF ORGANIZATION, HOW THAT MIGHT WORK TO BE ABLE TO, WHEN WE HAVE THIS KIND OF SITUATION, FILL THAT SPOT, UTILIZE A PERSON, UH, HERE IN OUR CITY, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT PAYING HIS SALARY.

UM, BUT WE HAVE A SPOT THAT WE COULD BE HAVE SOMEBODY OUT THERE.

SO HE'S PUTTING ALL THAT TOGETHER AS WELL.

SO WE'LL HAVE ALL THAT PRESENTATION TO THANK YOU, SCOTT, ARE WE STILL ANTICIPATING SAYING, UH, THREE TRAFFIC OFFICERS FOR THE, UH, SO THE POLICE CHIEF HAS COME ON UP WITH A PLAN.

THEY MAY NOT BE CALLED TRAFFIC OFFICERS.

UM, SO THAT MULTITASKING BE ABLE TO DO THINGS, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN DO MORE TRAFFIC, UH, WORK.

SO WHETHER IT'S THREE, WHATEVER THAT NUMBER IS, THAT'S THE SAME THING OF FIGURING OUT WHAT THAT NUMBER, THE RIGHT NUMBER IS TO COVER THE CITY.

NOPE.

BUT I'M HOPING THAT THOSE NUMBERS WILL BE DONE IN TIME THIS YEAR FOR US TO INCLUDE IT IN THE BUDGET.

THAT'S WHAT OUR GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO CANCEL IT BEFORE ON THAT.

SO THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE FEBRUARY.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING UP.

THAT'S THE, THE GOAL IS THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE WORKING HARDER AND GETTING THIS TOGETHER, UM, THAT HOPEFULLY HERE WITHIN THE NEXT MEETING OR TWO.

ITEM THREE, I, WHICH IS THE TOUGHER BOND ISSUANCE FOR THE LANDING GAY RIGHTS.

THANKS, SCOTT.

NEXT UP IS

[ TEFRA Bond Issuance - The Landings of Huber Heights]

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR, HOW ARE YOU, SIR? I'M WELL, SIR.

HOW ABOUT YOURSELF? THANK YOU.

GOOD.

UH, IF COUNCIL WILL RECALL, UH, YOU ALL SAW SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR TO THIS A FEW MONTHS BACK, UH, WITH RESPECT TO THE LANDINGS, UH, THEY ARE UNFORTUNATELY THE VICTIM OF COVID COST CONSTRUCTION AND SUPPLY CHAIN DELAYS AS WELL.

SO THEIR INITIAL REQUEST BEFORE COUNCIL, WHICH WAS APPROVED WAS $26 MILLION, UH, THEIR UPDATED, UH, BUDGET DEMAND FOR CONSTRUCTION AND FACILITY IMPROVEMENT IS NOW 30 MILLION.

SO THEY ARE EFFECTIVELY REQUESTING THE COUNCIL, UH, REITERATE ITS ACTIONS FROM, I BELIEVE IT WAS BACK IN EARLY AUGUST,

[00:35:01]

UH, AT, UH, THE MEETING ON THE 25TH, SO THAT THEY CAN INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF BONDS THAT THEY CAN ISSUE IN THE AMOUNT OF 30 AS OPPOSED TO 26.

SO, UH, THE, UH, ATTORNEYS WILL BE HERE NEXT WEEK FROM DENISE MARSHALL TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE PUBLIC MIGHT HAVE REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR ISSUANCE.

BUT WE WOULD ASK THAT COUNSEL ENTERTAIN THIS MATTER, UH, ON THEIR BEHALF ON THE 25TH.

AND ON THAT MEETING, THAT'D BE, THAT'D BE A PUBLIC HEARING, CORRECT? THEN YES, SIR.

OBJECTIONS TO A MONDAY IN A PUBLIC AREA.

A I IN THREE J, WHICH IS THE BRAND PIKE REVITALIZATION PROJECT, AND SOME, SOME UPDATES ON THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON DOWN AT MARION MEADOWS, UH, JUST IN THE PAST WEEK AT THE, WHAT WE CALL THE CR DAYTON PORTION, UH, THE UTILITY LINES HAVE NOW BEEN RELOCATED.

NEXT UP IS

[ Brandt Pike Revitalization Project]

SO THE SANITARY SEWER AND THE WATER FOR THE FRONT PIECE, THAT STAIN, THOSE HAVE BEEN RELOCATED FROM THE BACK PORTION AND SPLIT OFF, UM, THE BACK WHERE THE FIRE HYDRANTS, UH, WAS THAT'S BEEN DISCONNECTED BECAUSE THAT CAME INTO THE BUILDING TO THE SPRINKLERS IN THE BACK AND DIDN'T HAVE A VALVE SHUT OFF.

SO WE HAD TO DO SOME EXTRA WORK THERE TO BE ABLE TO SPLIT THAT OFF, TO BE ABLE TO TEAR DOWN THAT NEXT PORT, THAT BACK PORTION.

SO THAT'S NOW COMING IS, UH, IT'S ABLE TO BE, UH, THE DEMOLITION OF THAT BACK PORTION OF THE CR DATA PIECE, THE FURNITURE STORE THAT IS SCHEDULED, THEY HAVE SUBMITTED FOR ALL OF THEIR PERMITS, AND THERE IS A PRE, SO I'LL SAY PRE-CONSTRUCTION A PRE DEMOLITION MEETING SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 28TH, AND THEY WILL START THE NEXT DAY, UM, OF, UH, TAKING DOWN THAT PORTION ITSELF AT, UH, NEXT WEEK'S, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DOGTOWN HAS THEIR SUBMITTAL.

SO THAT GOES TO PLANNING COMMISSION.

THEN WE'LL COME TO CITY COUNCIL.

I HAVE A MEETING SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW, WHICH I HAD THE MEETING TWO WEEKS AGO REGARDING THE LIBRARY THAT WAS TALKING ABOUT EASEMENTS AND STORM WATER, AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

I HAVE ANOTHER MEETING WITH THEM TOMORROW ABOUT MORE OF THE DESIGN WORK THAT THEY'VE GOT, UH, SO OF MEETING WITH THE LIBRARY, UH, WITH ALL THEIR ARCHITECTS AND EVERYTHING ON THAT THAT'S GOING ON TOMORROW.

UM, SO, UM, THAT'S, UH, THE UPDATE AS WE ARE RIGHT NOW.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS.

NO ACTION NEEDED, CORRECT FOR MONDAY.

AND NEXT UP IS I AM THREE K, WHICH IS THE BOARD AND COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS FOR OUR, OF WATERING SERVER ADVISORY.

I APOLOGIZE.

THERE IS ONE MORE ITEM WHEN I MENTIONED THE CRD AND PIECE, THAT FRONT PIECE, THE REMODELING, UM, THE UPDATE ON THAT.

SO THE SAME ARCHITECT IS DOING LIBRARY.

WE'RE DISCUSSING THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE A COST ESTIMATE FOR ME TOMORROW ON WHAT THOSE ARE, THEY'RE FINALIZING THOSE CONSTRUCTION PLANS.

SO AT OUR NEXT MEETING, I SHOULD HAVE LEGISLATION TO REQUEST TO GO OUT TO BID ON THAT.

SO REQUEST GO, GOT TO BID MONDAY'S MEETING BASED ON NO, NOT THIS COMING MONDAY.

I'LL BRING IT TO OUR NEXT WORK SESSION.

GOTCHA.

SO YOU SEE THE FULL PLANS AND HAVE THE COST ESTIMATES.

SO EVERYBODY HAS ALL THE RIGHT.

SO NEXT NEXT WORK SESSION FOR THE, FOR THE REMODEL.

ITEM THREE, K THE BOARD AND COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS FOR CITIZENS, WATER AND SEWER ADVISORY BOARD AND THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION.

SO NEXT, UH,

[ Board and Commission Appointments * Citizens Water and Sewer Advisory Board]

UH, FIRST UP WE HAVE, UH, CURRENTLY TWO ON OUR CITIZENS WATER AND SEWER ADVISORY BOARD.

THIS IS, UH, A RECOMMENDATION TO FILL ONE OF THOSE VACANCIES.

UM, BASED ON AN APPLICATION RECEIVED, WE DID INTERVIEW THE APPLICANT, WHICH WAS SETH BREWER.

UM, THE RECOMMENDATION IS AN APPOINTMENT, UH, TO THE CITIZENS, WATER AND SEWER ADVISORY BOARD TO A TERM ENDING JANUARY 1ST, 2023.

UH, THE BACKGROUND CHECKS IN PROCESS, BUT WE'LL HAVE THAT BEFORE MONDAY'S MEETING.

SO A BARRING ANY COMPLICATIONS, THE RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO MAKE THAT APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY OBJECTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.

THE NEXT ART TO MODIFICATION.

UH, WE HAVE ONE VACANCY CURRENTLY ON THE ARTS OF BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION AFTER AN INTERVIEW WITH THE APPLICANT THAT WE HAD LAURA SHELDON.

UM, IT IS ALSO THE RECOMMENDATION TO A POINT TO THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION, UH, WITH A BACKGROUND CHECK IN PROCESS FOR A TERM ENDING JUNE 30TH, 2022.

IT'S AN UNEXPIRED TERM.

BACKGROUND HASN'T BEEN FINISHED YET.

IT'S OKAY.

UH, SO, UH, ANY OBJECTIONS? ASCENDING BACKGROUNDS.

UP IS ITEM THREE L WHICH IS THE CITY MANAGER SEARCH FROM PROPOSALS.

AND NEXT

[ City Manager Search Firm Proposals]

SELECTED BY CITY COUNCIL FROM THE FIVE PROPOSALS RECEIVED.

SO YOU WILL RECALL IT OUR SPECIAL COUNSEL WORK SESSION.

ON OCTOBER 4TH, WE HAD THE TWO PRESENTATIONS FOR, UH, THE, FROM THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE TWO CITY MANAGER SEARCH FIRMS THAT HAD BEEN

[00:40:01]

AND THOSE TWO WERE SLAVE AND MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS AND BAKER TILLY, UH, US, UM, YOU HEARD THE PRESENTATIONS AND HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS FROM THEM AT THAT MEETING.

UH, ONE OF THE THINGS I HAVE DONE IN THE INTERIM IS I HAD, UM, WORKED ON CONTACTING THE REFERENCES, UM, THAT HAD BEEN PROVIDED BY THE TWO FIRMS, UM, SLAVE AND MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS, UH, PROVIDED A LIST OF SIX REFERENCES.

AND, UM, THIS PROCESS WAS A LITTLE PROBLEMATIC IN TERMS OF, UM, THE REFERENCES PROVIDED, UM, OUT OF THE SIX REFERENCES.

I WAS ONLY ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS.

AND THAT INDIVIDUAL, UM, WAS FROM THE CITY OF URBANA IN URBANA, ILLINOIS.

UM, THE PERSON THAT THEY HAD LISTED AS THE REFERENCE IS NO LONGER EVEN AT THE CITY.

UM, AND SO SOMEONE ELSE THAT THE CITY THAT HAD BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE SEARCH PROCESS SPOKE TO ME AND PROVIDED THE REFERENCE.

UM, TWO OF THE OTHER REFERENCES LISTED, I LEFT MESSAGES RECEIVED NO RESPONSE FROM, UH, THE, UH, THIRD ONE.

UM, I CONTACTED EVERY TIME CALLED THE NUMBER.

YOU JUST GOT A BUSY SIGNAL DAYS ON END.

UH, DIDN'T ALLOW FOR YOU TO LEAVE A MESSAGE.

UM, ANOTHER ONE, UH, EVERY TIME YOU CALLED THE NUMBER THAT WAS PROVIDED, IT WOULD JUST DISCONNECT AND NOT ALLOW YOU TO LEAVE A MESSAGE OR TO SPEAK TO ANYBODY.

AND, UH, THE FINAL, THE SIXTH ONE, UM, EVERY TIME YOU CALLED THE MAILBOX WAS FULL AND, UH, IT SAID NO MESSAGES COULD BE LEFT.

SO, UM, I WASN'T ABLE TO REALLY GET, UM, A LOT OF FEEDBACK, UM, FROM THESE REFERENCES EXCEPT FOR THE ONE.

AND LIKE I SAID, THAT IT WASN'T EVEN THE PERSON WAS LISTED.

SO MY CONCERN WITH THAT WOULD JUST BE THAT, UM, IF THESE ARE THE, THE REFERENCES THAT THE VENDORS PROVIDING, UM, THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY MIGHT TAKE MORE CARE TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE UP TO DATE AND ACCESSIBLE TO PROVIDE THOSE REFERENCES.

SO, UH, THAT WAS A LITTLE CONCERNING TO ME IN THAT RESPECT.

UM, THE ONE I DID RECEIVE, I'VE ATTACHED A SUMMARY OF MY NOTES FROM THAT CONVERSATION.

UM, I USUALLY FIND THAT'S A LITTLE BETTER TO TALK TO THE PEOPLE DIRECTLY THEN TO JUST ASK THEM TO FILL SOMETHING OUT AND SEND IT BACK BECAUSE OFTEN THEY'RE WILLING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE, YOU KNOW, UH, THEY'RE GIVING YOU INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE THEN PUTTING SOMETHING IN WRITING.

SO, UM, SO THERE WAS ONLY THE ONE FOR THAT, UH, BAKER, TILLY, UH, THEY PROVIDED FIVE REFERENCES.

UM, I WAS ABLE TO SPEAK WITH THREE OF THE FIVE, UM, THE OTHER TWO, UM, I LEFT MESSAGES AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE.

SO I'VE ALSO PROVIDED MY SUMMARY NOTES FROM THE THREE REFERENCES.

I WAS ABLE TO SPEAK TO HIM, UM, OF ALL THE REFERENCES THAT I MADE CONTACT WITH.

UH, YOU KNOW, THEY SEEM TO BE LARGELY HAPPY WITH THE, UH, THE SERVICES THAT WERE PROVIDED.

UM, SOME OF THE ONES FOR BAKER, TILLY, I MEAN, SPOKE VERY GLOWINGLY.

THEY SAID, THEY'D WORK WITH THEM AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT.

UM, AND YOU CAN SEE THE DETAIL AND THE INFORMATION THAT I PROVIDED.

SO, UH, I THINK WHERE WE'RE AT HERE TONIGHT, BASED ON THE DISCUSSION AT THAT LAST WORK SESSION WAS COUNSEL ONE OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO, UH, KIND OF, UH, STEW OVER SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT HAD BEEN PROVIDED IN THE TWO PRESENTATIONS, UH, WITH THE HOPE THAT, UH, TONIGHT WE COULD HAVE SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THOSE, UH, SIDE OF THE DIRECTION OF MAYBE THE FIRM THAT COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO, UH, SEEK OUT AND WORK WITH.

AND FROM THAT, I WOULD, UM, IF THAT'S THE CASE AND SOME, UH, ONE OF THE FIRMS CAN BE AGREED TO THEN, UM, WE WOULD HAVE LEGISLATION ON THE AGENDA FOR MONDAY TO, UH, ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH THAT FIRM AND START INITIATING THAT PROCESS.

YES, NANCY, UH, YES.

FIRST OF ALL, TONY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR VERY THOROUGH WORK HERE.

AND, AND FOR DOCUMENTING THE FEEDBACK, UH, FROM THE FOLKS YOU TALKED TO, UM, AND THIS JUST REALLY CONFIRMS WHAT MY INITIAL IMPRESSION WAS OF BAKER TILLY.

UM, AND THAT'S WHO I WOULD REALLY PREFER THAT WE GO WITH, UH, THIS, THE NOTES IN HERE INDICATE THAT, UH, THE COMPANIES FELT THEY WERE, UH, VERY HONEST AND, UH, OPEN AND DIRECT.

IT PROVIDED, UH, PRODUCTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS AND,

[00:45:01]

UH, REALLY GOOD WITH COMMUNICATIONS, UH, VERY TRANSPARENT.

UM, I JUST THINK THOSE ARE ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN HERE.

SO THANK YOU.

UM, BRIEF GLANCE OF THESE.

UM, THEY, ALL OF THE REFERENCES SEEM TO BE PRETTY GLOWING FOR BOTH COMPANIES.

UM, WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE PRESENTATIONS, I PERSONALLY FELT THAT BOTH COMPANIES HAD THEIR POSITIVES AND, UM, AND I COULD WORK PROBABLY WITH EITHER ONE OF THEM, UM, BASED ON WHAT I'M SEEING HERE, UH, AND THE, THE RESPONSES THEMSELVES, JUST THE FACT THAT WE CAN ONLY GET IN TOUCH WITH ONE OF SIX ON ONE.

I WOULD PROBABLY, UH, AGAIN, I WOULD AS WELL LEAN TOWARDS BAKER TILLY, UM, AS THEY SEEM TO GET, YOU KNOW, AGAIN ON FIRST BLUSH, A GOOD REVIEWS AND GOT ALL, BUT ONE, IT LOOKS LIKE ONE OR TWO, THREE OUT OF FIVE, UM, OR THEIR REFERENCES CAME THROUGH.

SO, UM, I COULD GO EITHER WAY, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE BAKER, TILLY, UH, KIND OF WON THE DAY WITH THE REFERENCES.

SO THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING EITHER OF THE PRESENTATIONS OR EITHER THE FIRMS? THE ONLY THING I WOULD JUST KNOW TO, WITH A SLAVE AND I WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED IN THEIR PRESENTATION THAT THEY SEEMED UNCLEAR WHETHER THEY HAD WORKED WITH US OR NOT.

IN THE PAST, I HAD, UM, ASKED THEM THAT SPECIFICALLY BASED ON SOME ANECDOTAL INFORMATION I HAD HAD PRIOR TO THEM COMING HERE AND, UM, ASK THEM IF THEY HAD WORKED WITH THE CITY OF RIOTS, I WAS TOLD THEY HAD NOT.

AND THEN WHEN THEY MADE THE PRESENTATION, THEY HAD HUBER HEIGHTS LISTED AS A CLIENT, BUT THEN THEY SEEM CONFUSED AS TO WHETHER THEY DID OR DID NOT.

AND I DIDN'T REALLY GET CLARIFICATION ON THAT POINT FROM THAT I THINK IN JUST, UH, GOING BY THE INFORMATION AND THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL, THE INFORMATION THAT WE SAW THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US, I THINK BAKER, TILLY HIT A HOME RUN.

I THINK THE OTHER ONE KIND OF LOBBED A SINGLE.

AND, UM, I MEAN, I THINK BASED ON WHAT NANCY SAID, WHAT GLEN SAID, AND MAYBE WHAT DAWN'S GOING TO SAY, I'D CERTAINLY RECOMMEND BAKER TO LOOK AT THE FIRM THAT WE USE, BUT, UM, WHAT DO YOU RECOMMENDATION FROM COUNSEL? ANY OBJECTIONS AND MOVE ON TO A MEETING? UH, DON, THANK YOU.

UH, I'LL JUST NOTE THAT I WENT BACK TO OUR ORIGINAL SCORING SHEETS AND WATCHED THE INTERVIEWS AGAIN BECAUSE I GOT A LOT OF TIME ON MY HANDS.

SO I WENT BACK AND WATCHED THE INTERVIEWS AGAIN AND, UM, UH, WENT BACK TO OUR ORIGINAL SCORING SHEET.

I'M QUITE CONFIDENT IN SAYING THAT, UM, BAKER, TILLY IS A CLEAR HANDS DOWN WIENER.

UM, BOTH COMPANIES WERE GREAT WHEN I THINK BAKER TELLER BRINGS SOMETHING TO THE TABLE, ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR FEEDBACK LOOP TO US.

THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THIS CITY MANAGERS.

SO MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE BAKER TILLY.

SO WE'VE GOT THREE WHO RECOMMENDED BIGGER.

TILLY, IS THERE ANY OTHER DIFFERENCE OF OPINION? I WAS GOING TO SAY BAKER.

TILLY.

ANYONE ELSE? YES, I MAYOR I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH BAKER TILLY.

THANKS.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A MAJORITY.

SO IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO MOVING, UH, LEGISLATION ON FOR MONDAY'S MEETING TO HIRE BAKER TILLY AS OUR SEARCH FIRM FOR THE NEW CITY MANAGER? YES.

I THINK BAKER TILLY DID A REALLY GOOD JOB IN THE INTERVIEW.

THE REFERENCES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES, AND I WOULD AGREE WITH THEM.

OKAY, THANKS.

AND SHE WAS QUITE REAL WITH US WHEN, WHEN THAT QUESTION WAS ASKED AND I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE HER CANDOR.

UM, SOMETIMES THAT'S HARD TO HEAR, BUT, UH, SHE WAS VERY OPEN AND HONEST WITH US AND VERY DIRECT.

I APPRECIATED THAT.

AND THAT WAS A POINT THAT WAS MADE BY SEVERAL REFERENCES.

I CONTACTED WITH BAKER, TILLY.

THEY SAID, YOU MIGHT NOT ALWAYS LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE TO HEAR FROM THEM BACK.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE HONEST AND DIRECT WITH YOU.

AND, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, SEVERAL OF THEM STARTED OUT ONE WAY CONDUCTING THEIR SEARCH BASED ON THE FEEDBACK FROM BAKER TILLY, THEY ALTERED, UH, SOME OF THE PARAMETERS OF THEIR SEARCH AND, YOU KNOW, UH, PROCEED IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION BASED ON THAT STRAIGHTFORWARDNESS.

GOOD.

NEXT IS ITEM THREE IN WHICH IS THE ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR, UH, CITY CODE AMENDMENTS.

I FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THAT.

I FEEL CONFIDENT.

UM, I'M GLAD EVERYONE ELSE DOES.

SO WE'LL, UH, WE'LL MOVE THAT ON, UH, TO MONDAY'S MEETING.

THANK YOU, TONY.

THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE HERE.

APPRECIATE IT.

I KNOW THAT WAS, UH, UH, A LOT OF WORK ON YOUR PLATE ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE.

SO THANK YOU.

AND

[ Ordinance Review Commission Recommendations - City Code Amendments * Part Five - General Offenses Code]

UH, WE HAVE PART FIVE GENERAL OFFENSES CODE AND PART 15, WHICH IS THE FIRE PREVENTION CODE.

SO THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO, UH, PUSH THESE FORWARD, UM, THROUGH, THROUGH, BY THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO, LIKE I TALKED ABOUT AT THE LAST WORK SESSION, THESE ARE THE PIECES OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE COMING IN THE VARIOUS SECTIONS FROM THE ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMISSION.

UH, WE STARTED OUT, UH, SLOW SPEED THE LAST TIME WITH SOME MINOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND WORKING OUR WAY UP.

SO FOR THE REMAINING MEETINGS FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR, I'VE SCHEDULED THESE IN PIECES,

[00:50:01]

AND, UH, HOPEFULLY BRING THIS PROCESS, UH, TO A CLOSE TOMORROW NIGHT WILL BE THE FINAL MEETING OF THE ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMISSION, UH, TO WRAP THAT UP.

UM, THE OTHER PIECE TO THE ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMISSION PROCESS, AS THEY DEVELOP A FINAL REPORT, THAT IS ALL INCLUSIVE OF ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THEY'VE MADE.

SO, UH, AT A FUTURE COUNCIL MEETING THE NEXT MONTH OR SO I WILL BE INVITING THE ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL MEETING TO FORMALLY PRESENT THEIR REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND GIVE THE COUNCIL THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, UH, MANY HOURS OF ARTWORK THAT, UH, THE, AS VOLUNTEERS DATA AS A PART OF THE, SO, UM, SO AS THE MAYOR MENTIONED, THE FIRST ONE IS PART FIVE, WHICH IS THE GENERAL OFFENSES CODE.

I'LL JUST BRIEFLY GO OVER THE CHANGES THAT ARE BEING RECOMMENDED AGAIN, AND BE HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS, UM, ON BOTH OF THESE SECTIONS TONIGHT, UM, UH, THAT ARE BEFORE YOU, I'M ASKING THAT THEY GO TO OUR FIRST READING ON MONDAY'S AGENDA AND THEN BE PASSED TO A SECOND READING, UH, TO ALLOW TIME FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, IF THERE IS ANY, UH, SINCE THESE ARE A LITTLE MORE SUBSTANTIAL IN NATURE IN TERMS OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

UM, SO FIRST WE HAVE SECTION 5 0 5 0.04, ABANDONING THE ANIMALS.

UM, AND THIS ONE IS JUST A MINOR CHANGE.

UH, THERE WERE INAPPROPRIATE, UM, UH, HIGH REVISED CODE SITE CITATIONS OR INCORRECT CITATIONS, UM, IN TWO SECTIONS OF THAT, UH, PART OF THE CODE SO THAT WE WOULD JUST BE, UH, WITH JERRY'S ASSISTANCE, MAKING THE PROPER CODE CITATIONS AND THAT THOSE AREAS, UM, AND CHAPTER 5 0 5, UH, 0.10, UM, WHICH DEALS WITH, UM, ANIMAL BITES AND, UM, REPORTS OF ANIMAL BITES AND QUARANTINE OF A DOG.

UM, WE CURRENTLY HAD SOME SPECIFIC SECTIONS IN OUR CODE, BUT, UH, THE CODE SECTIONS IN THE HUBER HEIGHTS CODE WERE AT ODDS WITH, UH, THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE AT THE STATE LEVEL, UH, AS IT RELATES TO, UH, DOG BITES AND DANGEROUS DOGS.

SO, UH, WITH JERRY'S HELP, WHAT WE DID IS, UH, PULLED THE RELEVANT SECTIONS, THEY'LL HIRE REVISE CODE THAT DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES, UH, DOWN INTO A RECOMMENDED SECTION 5 0 5 0.10 ENTITLED DUTIES AFTER DOG BITES PERSON, UM, AND, UH, PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD OUTLINES, WHAT YOU NEED TO DO AS FAR AS YOUR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS TO, UH, TO ADDRESS, UH, A DOG BITE ISSUE.

AND, UH, IN THIS REGARD, WE WOULD PARALLEL THE OHIO REVISED CODE, UH, USING THE SAME LANGUAGE, UH, SIMILARLY AND SECTION 5 0 5 0.14, WHICH IS A DANGEROUS DOGS, UH, SECTION IN OUR CURRENT CODE.

WE'D RECOMMEND KEEPING THAT TITLE, DANGEROUS DOGS.

UM, BUT AGAIN, UH, DRAWING DOWN ALL OF THE INFORMATION FROM THE OHIO REVISED CODE THAT HAS RELEVANCE TO THIS SECTION, UH, DEALS WITH, UH, DANGEROUS DOGS, MENACING DOGS, UH, DEFINED SERIOUS INJURY FROM A DOG BITE, UM, AND THE PENALTIES ASSOCIATED WITH, UM, MAINTAINING A DANGEROUS DOG OR ALLOWING A DANGEROUS DOG, UM, TO, UH, DO HARM TO ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL.

THEN A SECTION 5 0 5 0.1, ONE, ONE, UM, HAS TO DO WITH OUTDOOR FEEDING.

THIS IS, UM, A RECOMMENDATION TO ADD A NEW SECTION TO THE CODE THAT DOESN'T CURRENTLY EXIST.

AND SO, UM, WHAT THIS SECTION OF THE CODE DOES IS TO FIND ANIMALS THAT ARE RUNNING AT LARGE, IT DIVIDES WHAT IS CONSIDERED A WILD ANIMAL, AND, UM, IT SETS OUT GUIDELINES FOR WHAT PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO DO IN TERMS OF, WELL, REALLY WHAT THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO IN TERMS OF LEAVING OUT FOOD OR PROVIDING OUTDOOR FEEDING TO, UH, ANIMALS THAT ARE CONSIDERED WILD OR RUNNING AT LARGE AND ESTABLISHES PENALTY FOR ANYONE WHO VIOLATES, UH, THAT SECTION.

SO, UM, WILD ANIMALS WOULD BE DEFINED TO INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO FERAL CATS, SQUIRRELS, CHIPMUNKS, GROUNDHOGS, RACCOONS, SKUNKS, POSSUMS, MUSKRATS, DEER, FOXES, AND COYOTES.

SO, UM, THAT, SO DOES THIS, IS THAT THE CODE THAT, UH, INDICATES THAT IF YOU FEED A FERAL CAT OR ANIMAL FOR A CERTAIN TIME, YOU BECOME THE OWNER OF THAT? WELL, IT PROHIBITS YOU DOING THAT.

[00:55:01]

YEAH, BUT I THOUGHT THERE WAS A CODE IN THERE.

THERE IS A SECTION THAT TALKS ABOUT, UM, YOU ESTABLISH OWNERSHIP OF AN ANIMAL BY PROVIDING CHARACTER, AND I THINK IT'S CALLED HARBOR.

UM, AND THAT SECTION STILL IN THE CODE, WE ARE NOT CHANGING THAT THIS IS AN ADDITION TO THIS, BUT IT WOULD BE A DIRECT PROHIBITION ON OUTDOOR FEEDING, UH, WITH FERAL CATS OR OTHER WILD.

SO YEAH.

SO UNDER DOGS OR UNDER THAT 5 0 5 11 IS PRESUMPTION OF ANIMAL OWNER KEEPER OR HARBOR.

SO THAT SECTION LOOKS LIKE IT'S STILL IN THE CODE YET.

WE'RE RETAINING THAT CORRECT.

THEN IN SECTION 5 0 9 0.10, UM, MOTOR VEHICLE NOISE CONTROL.

UM, THESE ARE MONITORED BY A PUBLICATION OF STANDARDS CALLED THE AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE.

UM, SOME OF THE DEFINITIONS AND SOME OF THE WAYS THEY MEASURE THESE, UH, NOISE CONTROL STANDARDS HAVE CHANGED AND HAVE BEEN UPDATED SINCE THE CODE WAS LAST WRITTEN.

SO, UH, WE'VE MADE THE MODIFICATIONS IN THAT TO BRING IT CURRENT TO THE CURRENT, A N S I STANDARDS, UH, FOR MOTOR VEHICLE NOISE CONTROL.

THE NEXT IS, UM, FIVE, 1.06 DUTY TO KEEP SIDEWALKS AND REPAIR AND CLEAN AND A REMEDY BY THE CITY FOR NONCOMPLIANCE AND DOING SO, UH, THIS IS, UH, A CURRENT SECTION OF THE CODE WHERE THERE'S BEEN SOME SUBSTANTIAL ADDITION OF INFORMATION BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF CITY STAFF.

UM, JERRY, I DON'T KNOW.

DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT IN ANY REGARD SIX MONTHS AGO? OKAY.

SO, UM, IT BASICALLY DEFINES THE PROCESS THAT IF YOU HAVE A SIDEWALK THAT'S NOT IMPROPER REPAIR OR CLEAN, THEN, UH, UPON A FINDING BY THE CITY ENGINEER OR HIS DESIGNEE, UH, YOU CAN BE SERVED NOTICE OF THE NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THIS SECTION OF THE CODE, UH, AND BE DIRECTED TO MAKE THOSE REPAIRS.

IF YOU FAIL TO MAKE THOSE REPAIRS, THEN THE CITY CAN, UM, AFFECT THE REPAIR BEING, UH, TAKEN CARE OF AND REMEDIED, AND THEN THE PROPERTY OWNER BEING ASSESSED THAT THE COSTS OF THOSE REPAIRS, UM, HAVE THERE BEEN ANY CHANGES IN THERE? UH, ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMPLAINTS OR CONCERNS THAT I'VE HEARD IS THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY A PROVISION IN THERE.

I BELIEVE THAT SAYS THAT THEY HAVE TO USE THE CITY APPROVED CONTRACTOR IN ORDER TO MAKE THOSE REPAIRS.

AND PEOPLE ARE SAYING, IF I GET SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO IT AND MAYBE COULD DO IT CHEAPER OR WHATEVER, AND THEY STILL MEET THE STANDARDS.

WHY CAN'T I DO THAT? YEAH.

THAT, THAT, UH, THEY WOULD BE INCORRECT TONIGHT.

THEY ARE ALLOWED TO USE THEIR OWN PROVIDER TO DO A REPAIR FOR, UH, SIDEWALKS AND DRIVEWAYS WHEN THEY'RE REQUIRED TO DO SO.

UM, THEY'RE GIVEN AN ESTIMATE, AN ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE AND STOCK COULD PROBABLY TALK TO US ABOUT IT OR JUST DOING WORK IN THE RIGHT OF WAY.

THEY HAVE TO BE BONDED WITH THE CITY.

SO THAT'S MIGHT BE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SO THEY CAN CHOOSE WHOEVER THEY WANT.

BUT THEN THAT CONTRACTOR DOES HAVE TO COME HERE AND BE BONDED SINCE IT'S IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY.

SO THAT MIGHT BE THE, WHENEVER YOU'VE HEARD SOME PEOPLE SAY, HEY, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DIG UP THE CURB MYSELF AND POUR IT MYSELF.

BUT THEY CAN CHOOSE A PROVIDER, THEY GET AN ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE AND THEY CAN EITHER GO WITH THAT OR THEY CAN SEEK SOMEONE OUT, BUT THAT'S KIND OF SAYING IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A BONDED, BONDED PERSON.

BUT IN ADDITION TO THOSE, THEY COULD POTENTIALLY FACE, UM, A MINOR MISDEMEANOR CHARGE, UH, FROM THAT TYPE OF BEHAVIOR, WITH LETTERING OR DEPOSIT OF GARBAGE AND TRASH, UM, SECTION 5 21 0.08, TWO RESIDENTIAL SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL.

UM, AND IF I CAN, JUST TO CLARIFY, AS WE WERE DISCUSSING IT AND UNDERSTOOD, THIS IS PRETTY MUCH JUST, UM, CLARIFY AS THE PROCESS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE WITH THE CURB AND SIDEWALK PROGRAM.

ANYWAY, THIS IS PRETTY MUCH HOW IT RUNS.

SO THIS JUST DEFINES IT WITHIN THE, OR SEE RIGHT NOW THAT'S CORRECT.

I THINK THEY WERE, UH, STAFF WAS RECOMMENDING A LITTLE MORE IN CLARIFICATION ON THE PROCESS.

SO SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS THAT COME UP MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE BETTER ANSWERED THROUGH THE GUT.

AND WE HAVE A SECTION FIVE TO 1.081 PARAGRAPH H AND M.

THIS IS JUST TO ADD THE PHRASE AND WHOEVER VIOLATES THIS SECTION SHALL, AND WE'RE ADDING THE TERMS IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE THE GUILTY OF A MINOR MISDEMEANOR.

SO THERE'S OTHER, UM, PENALTIES IN TERMS OF, UH, ASSESSMENTS OR FINES, UH, FOR CLEANUP WORK OF GARBAGE AND TRASH, IF IT'S NOT REMEDIED BY THE, THE TENANT OR THE PROPERTY OWNER.

UM,

[01:00:01]

THIS IS JUST A GRAMMATICAL ERROR CORRECTION.

UM, IT CURRENTLY SAYS TO REMOVE WASTER MATERIAL AT RESIDENTIAL DWELLINGS, IT'S SUPPOSED TO SAY TO REMOVE WASTE MATERIAL.

SO WE'RE JUST DROPPING THAT ARE FROM THE CODE IN SECTION 5 21 0.10, PARAGRAPH E UM, DUTY TO CUT WEEDS AND GRASS AND REMEDY BY CITY FOR NON-COMPLIANCE.

UM, JUST ADDING A PHRASE THAT ANYONE WHO'S IN VIOLATION OF THE SECTION, UH, WAS LEFT OUT SO THAT IT CLEARLY LINKS, UH, THE DUTY AND THE RESPONSIBILITY TO CUT THE WEEDS AND GRASS AND THE NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THAT, TO THE POTENTIAL FOR, UM, UH, UM, A PENALTY SHOULD THE, THAT'D BE APPROPRIATE TO THAT CIRCUMSTANCE.

SO, UH, THAT IS ALL IN SECTION FIVE.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR TONY IN THE SECTION FIVE CHANGES? OKAY.

SO THE NEXT ONE WE VOLUNTEER TO GET, YES, WE PASS THIS ON MONDAY.

WHEN WILL THEY BECOME EFFECTIVE? OKAY.

SO THIS ONE WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT IT HAVE TWO READINGS.

SO THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT IF ANYONE HAS.

SO, UH, WOULDN'T PASS ON MONDAY, BUT THE FOLLOWING MEETING, HOPEFULLY, UM, THE WE'RE NOT DOING THESE AS EMERGENCY LEGISLATION, SO THERE EFFECT 30 DAYS AFTER, UH, THE ADOPTION OF THE ORDINANCE.

YEAH, THAT'S THE TIMEFRAME WE'RE LOOKING.

AND THEN, UH, OUR CODIFICATION SERVICE WOULD QUANTIFY ALL THESE CHANGES, UH, INTO AN UPDATE OF THE CODE.

THE ONLINE CODE WOULD BE UPDATED AND ALL THOSE CHANGES WOULD BE REFLECTED AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.

IF THEY SEARCH THE CODE, KEEPS THOSE, UH, PART 15, THE FIRE PREVENTION COULD PART 15.

WE HAVE ONE CHANGE IN HERE.

UM, SECTION 1, 5, 1 7 0.09, RIGHT OF APPEAL.

AND, UM, CURRENTLY, UM, IF A PERSON, UH, WISHES TO APPEAL A DECISION OR INTERPRETATION BY A FIRE OFFICIAL UNDER PROVISIONS OF THE OHIO FIRE CODE, IT SAYS, UM, IF THE OWNER FILES FOR AN APPEAL, UM, THIS IS KIND OF INCORRECT LANGUAGE BECAUSE, UM, IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE THE TENANT AND NOT THE OWNER WHO IS THE PERSON FACING THE, UH, THE VIOLATION.

AND SO THEY WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT OF APPEAL.

SO WE'RE JUST CHANGING, UH, THE TERM OWNER TO PERSON AGGRIEVED BY A DECISION OR INTERPRETATION, UH, OF THE, UH, OHIO FIRE CODE SO THAT IT WOULD ALLOW FOR THE TENANT TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO APPEAL IF THEY'RE THE SUBJECT OF THE VIOLATION.

ANY QUESTIONS? OBJECTIONS WILL BE PART 15 ONTO MONDAY'S MEETING AS WELL.

THAT'S WHERE I'LL GO.

MY NEXT MEETING WE'LL HAVE TWO MORE SECTIONS.

NEXT WORKS.

NEXT UP IS OUR NUMBER FOUR, WHICH IS OUR GERMAN.

IT IS 703, AND THIS WORK SESSION IS ADJOURNED.
