OKAY, NEXT WE HAVE ITEM

[ Big Brothers Big Sisters Miami Valley Presentation - Mr. Chris Mackey, Community Impact And Engagement Manager, Big Brothers Big Sisters Miami Valley]

70.

ITEM 70, BIG BROTHERS, BIG SISTERS, MIAMI VALLEY PRESENTATION BY MR. CHRIS MACKEY, COMMUNITY IMPACT AND ENGAGEMENT MANAGER WITH BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS MIAMI VALLEY.

CAN YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM? GOOD EVENING, MAYOR GORE.

COUNCIL MEMBERS, MY NAME IS CHRIS MACKEY.

I WORK FOR BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS MIAMI VALLEY.

WE'RE A NONPROFIT MENTORING ORGANIZATION THAT SERVES AROUND 500 YOUTH IN MONTGOMERY, MIAMI GREEN, AND PREBLE COUNTIES.

STARTING OFF JUST BRIEFLY, I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THE FOLKS IN YOUR LIFE WHO SERVED AS MENTORS, AS ROLE MODELS, WHO GOT YOU TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY, AND THAT MENTORING IS WHAT BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS IS ALL ABOUT.

BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS CREATE AND SUPPORTS ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS THAT IGNITE THE POWER AND PROMISE OF YOUTH.

AND AT BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS, OUR VISION, AND I LOVE OUR VISION, IS THAT ALL YOUTH ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.

BASICALLY WE WANT KIDS TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE.

WE GO ABOUT DOING THAT IN A COUPLE DIFFERENT WAYS.

WE HAVE A COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAM THAT SERVES, THAT MATCHES ADULTS 18 AND UP OR 21 AND UP WITH YOUTH, WE'RE TYPICALLY AGED ABOUT SIX TO 14.

IN THE COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAM, BIGS AND LITTLES MENTORS AND MENTEES MEET IN A COMMUNITY SETTING.

THEY DO FUN, SAFE ACTIVITIES THAT THEY ALL ENJOY AND IN THE MEANTIME THEY FOCUS ON ACADEMIC, SOCIAL, OR BEHAVIORAL GOALS.

WE ALSO HAVE A SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAM, WHICH AS A TITLE SUGGESTS, TAKES PLACE IN A SCHOOL SETTING AND BIGS AND LITTLES BIGS 18 AND UP WITH LITTLES WHO ARE TYPICALLY IN ELEMENTARY OR MIDDLE SCHOOL, FOCUS ON ACADEMIC GOALS, GETTING TO SCHOOL ON TIME, GETTING TO SCHOOL AND ATTENDING REGULARLY, AND THEN MEANTIME BUILDING THAT MENTORING RELATIONSHIP.

SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHO BIGS AND WHO LITTLES ARE.

BIGS ARE, FIRST OF ALL, SAFE USE.

SAFETY IS THE ABSOLUTE PRIORITY OF BIG BROTHERS.

BIG SISTERS BIGS ARE CONSISTENT.

WE ASK THAT BIGS ARE ABLE TO COMMIT TO AT LEAST A YEAR OF BEING A MENTOR.

AND WE ASK THAT FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.

FIRST, WE ASK THAT BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME TO BUILD THAT MENTORING RELATIONSHIP.

AND THEN SECONDLY, WE ASK BECAUSE SOME, NOT ALL, BUT SOME OF THE KIDS IN OUR PROGRAM HAVE HAD ADULTS COME IN AND OUT OF THEIR LIVES.

AND SO HAVING THAT CONSISTENT POSITIVE ADULT ROLE MODEL CAN BE REALLY BENEFICIAL.

BIGS ARE ALSO FUN.

THEY DO FUN ACTIVITIES THAT THEY AND THEIR LITTLES ENJOY.

AND BIGS ARE NOT, BIGS ARE NOT SAVIORS.

WE'RE NOT HERE TO SAVE THESE KIDS

[00:15:01]

FROM THEMSELVES, TO SAVE THESE KIDS FROM THEIR HOME ENVIRONMENTS.

BIGS ARE NOT DISCIPLINARY AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE, WE WELCOME THESE PEOPLE, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A PROFESSIONAL EDUCATOR, A SOCIAL WORKER, A PROFESSIONAL THERAPIST, TO BE A BIG, ALL YOU NEED TO BE IS A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY WHO WANTS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIFE OF A YOUNG PERSON WHO ARE LITTLES.

THEY'RE KIDS IN OUR FOUR COUNTIES SERVICE AREA.

SO THAT MIAMI, MONTGOMERY, GREEN AND PEBBLE COUNTIES, THEY'RE KIDS WHO ARE TYPICALLY AGES SIX TO 14 WHEN WE MATCH THEM.

THEY DO GO UP TO AGE 18 WHEN THEY GRADUATE FROM THE PROGRAM.

AND THEN THERE ARE KIDS WHO HAVE A VARIETY OF BACKGROUNDS AND EXPERIENCES.

SOME KIDS, FOR EXAMPLE, ARE A PART OF A LARGE FAMILY.

AND SO THE PARENTS OF THAT LITTLE FEEL THAT HAVING AN ADDITIONAL POSITIVE ADULT ROLE MODEL WOULD BE BENEFICIAL.

AND THEN SOME KIDS HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT IN THEIR YOUNG LIVES, BENEFITS OF BIG BROTHERS, BIG SISTERS.

SO THIS IS BASED ON NATIONAL DATA AND ABOUT 46% OF LITTLES HAVE SAID THAT HAVING A MENTOR CAUSED THEM TO AVOID USING DRUGS.

90% OF LITTLES SAID THAT THEY GOT BETTER GRADES AS A RESULT OF HAVING A MENTOR.

AND THIS LAST STAT I FIND PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT SOCIAL ISOLATION BROUGHT ON BY THE PANDEMIC, 86% OF LITTLES SAID THAT HAVING A MENTOR ALLOWED THEM TO HAVE REDUCED DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS. SO IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE TO HAVE A MENTOR IN THE LIFE OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE.

THE OTHER THING THAT I DO SAY IS THAT WE DON'T WANT THIS TO JUST BE A BENEFICIAL EXPERIENCE FOR THE THE LITTLES, FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO GET INVOLVED, TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LARGER COMMUNITY AND TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIFE OF A YOUNG PERSON.

I'VE BEEN A MENTOR FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND IT'S A REWARDING EXPERIENCE.

A COUPLE NUMBERS, ONE OF WHICH I DON'T HAVE ON HERE, AND ACTUALLY THIS NUMBER HAS CHANGED, WHICH IS PRETTY GREAT.

SO WE HAD 36 KIDS ON OUR WAIT LIST, WE NOW HAVE 30, SO WE'RE MAKING SOME PROGRESS, BUT WE STILL HAVE 30 KIDS IN ON OUR COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAM WHO ARE WAITING FOR MENTORS.

AND THAT DOES INCLUDE THREE KIDS IN HUBER HEIGHTS WHO ARE WAITING A 10 YEAR OLD, A 13 YEAR OLD, A 14 YEAR OLD.

AND THESE KIDS, THESE LITTLE BROTHERS ARE LOOKING FOR BIG BROTHERS WHO CAN PLAY SPORTS WITH THEM, WHO CAN HELP THEM.

THERE'S A LITTLE BROTHER WHO WANTS TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE CLARINET.

THERE ARE LITTLES WHO WANT TO JUST GET OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY AND LEARN NEW THINGS, HAVE NEW EXPERIENCES, AND IN THE MEANTIME HELP THESE YOUNG PEOPLE TO GROW UP TO BE RESPONSIBLE, CARING ADULTS.

THE OTHER NUMBER THAT'S NOT ON HERE IS ONE BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS.

BEING A BIG IS A COMMITMENT, BUT IT TAKES ABOUT AN HOUR A WEEK.

WE ASK FOR A COMMITMENT OF A YEAR FOR ABOUT FOUR TO EIGHT HOURS A MONTH, BUT THAT TRANSLATES OUT TO AN HOUR.

SO IF YOU CAN GIVE AN HOUR A WEEK OR IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE TIME, BUT YOU KNOW OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT FOR OUR ORGANIZATION, PLEASE SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS, WITH YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR COWORKERS, BECAUSE KIDS IN OUR PROGRAM AND ON OUR WAIT LIST HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL.

AND AT BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS, WE DEFEND THAT POTENTIAL.

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I HAVE SOME BUSINESS CARDS AND FLYERS OVER HERE THAT I WILL LEAVE WHEREVER YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE THEM.

AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE AT THIS TIME.

SO THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING, APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION.

SURE.

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT ORGANIZATION.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS ANY, ANY COMMENTS OR ANY QUESTIONS? YES, DON.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

JUST BRIEFLY, UH, WE HAD AN EVENT THIS AFTERNOON, CO IS WITH A COP, UM, DOWN AT SKYLINE, SHELLY GETTING TO MEET FIRST RESPONDERS AND THERE, UM, OFFICER NICK LAMBERT WAS HANDING OUT YOUR INFORMATION.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW THAT.

UH, AND IT DOES HAVE A QR CODE ON THE INFO ON HOW TO LEARN MORE INFORMATION ABOUT BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS.

SO, UH, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE IMPACTED AT LEAST ONE VERY IMPORTANT PERSON UP HERE IN HUBER HEIGHTS SO FAR.

UH, NICK LAMBERT WAS, UM, REALLY POSITIVE ABOUT THIS, SO THANK YOU.

ABSOLUTELY.

AND I DO WANT TO THANK OFFICER LAMBERT, WHO IS NOT ONLY GOING OUT OF HIS WAY TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS, BUT HE ACTUALLY JUST COMPLETED AN APPLICATION TO BECOME A BIG BROTHER HIMSELF.

AND SO EXCELLENT ROLE MODEL IN THIS COMMUNITY, TAKING A LEAD ON HELPING YOUNG

[00:20:01]

PEOPLE AND RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION.

SO, YOU KNOW, I THANK OFFICER LAMBERT FOR THAT.

AND YOU, HOW DO YOU MATCH 'EM? I MEAN, DO YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE A COMBINED INTEREST LIKE THE KIDS? CAUSE YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY WANTS TO LEARN CLEAR NET AND SOMEBODY HATES MUSIC.

IT'S NOT A GOOD MATCH.

SO HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT THE MATCHING PROCESS? ABSOLUTELY.

SO WE DO HAVE A PRETTY EXTENSIVE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE MENTORS PROCESS OF AN APPLICATION.

BACKGROUND CHECKS, REFERENCE CHECKS, TRAINING, AND ALL THAT COMES BACK TO YOUTH SAFETY.

BUT IT'S ALSO SO WE CAN GET TO KNOW THE MENTORS, THE PARENTS OR GUARDIANS AND THE LITTLES SO THAT WE CAN MATCH BIGS AND LITTLES BASED ON SIMILAR PERSONALITIES, SIMILAR INTERESTS IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT HOPEFULLY THE MENTORSHIP IS REWARDING AND POSITIVE AND THAT IT LASTS.

YOU KNOW, IDEALLY WE'VE HAD, UH, MENTORSHIPS THAT HAVE LASTED 10 YEARS AND THEN WHEN THE LITTLE GRADUATES FROM THE PROGRAM, THE BIG OR THE FORMER BIG AND LITTLE STAY IN TOUCH AS LITTLE GROWS INTO ADULTHOOD.

AND SO WE DO HAVE A PROCESS FOR MAKING SURE THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WE'RE MATCHING COMPATIBLE BIGS WITH COMPATIBLE LITTLES.

NANCY? YES.

UM, CHRIS, UH, YOU MIGHT WANT TO, UM, MENTION ABOUT WHEN PEOPLE BECOME BIGS, THEY'RE NOT EXPECTED TO MAKE A BIG FINANCIAL COMMITMENT.

SO I'M NOT HERE TODAY, TONIGHT TO ASK FOR ANY MONEY FROM Y'ALL.

WHAT I AM HERE TO ASK FOR IS A COMMITMENT OF TIME AND BEING A BIG, SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, I MENTIONED GOING OUT TO GET SOME ICE CREAM OR GOING TO SCENE 75 AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE TRY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE CUZ FIRST OF ALL, BEING A PART OF BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS IS FREE OF CHARGE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE FAMILIES AND THE LITTLES IN THERE.

AND SOMETIMES WITH THE ACTIVITIES THAT YOU DO, THE FAMILY'S PAYING FOR SOMETHING OR THE BIG WILL PAY FOR SOMETHING.

BUT WE WORK WITH AREA BUSINESSES TO TRY AND GET DISCOUNTS AND WE DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO BIGS AND LITTLES THAT THEY FOCUS ON THOSE NO COST OR LOW-COST ACTIVITIES.

AND SO WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS, WE'RE ASKING FOR CONTRIBUTION OF TIME ON THE PART OF MEMBERS IN THE COMMUNITY.

AND AGAIN, IT'S THAT HOUR A WEEK, 40 TO EIGHT HOURS A MONTH IS WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.

ANYONE ELSE? OKAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THIS EVENING.

THANK INFORMATION ON THAT TABLE OVER THERE.

I'LL MAKE SURE THAT IT'S AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.

THAT'S GREAT.

THANKS AGAIN, THANKS FOR WHAT YOU DO FOR THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.

APPRECIATE IT.

AND UP

[ Citizens For Sinclair Presentation - Mr. Zack Beck And Ms. Madeline Iseli, Citizens For Sinclair]

IS ITEM SEVEN E I.

ITEM SEVEN E CITIZENS FOR SINCLAIR.

PRESENTATION BY MR. ZACK BECK.

AND MS. MADELINE SALLY FOR CITIZENS FOR SINCLAIR.

SLIDE UPDATED FAST ENOUGH, BUT AFL CIO, DAYTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THE NAME A FEW, WE HAVE THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY, MONTGOMERY COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF THE NAACP.

THANK YOU MR. ROGERS.

THANK YOU MR. MAYER.

THANK YOU MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

I'M MADELINE ISLEY, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT FOR ADVANCEMENT AND REGIONAL STRATEGY, AND IT IS MY PLEASURE TO BE HERE THIS EVENING JUST TO, UH, MAKE A VERY QUICK INTRODUCTION.

FIRST OF ALL, TO THANK COUNCIL AND THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS FOR YOUR WELCOME.

YOU KNOW THAT, UH, SINCLAIR HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 135 YEARS, BUT 16 OF THOSE YEARS SPECIFICALLY HAVE BEEN RIGHT UP THE ROAD HERE, UH, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GREATER DAYTON Y M C A AT WHAT WE CALL THE HUBER HEIGHTS SINCLAIR LEARNING CENTER.

SO THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITY FOR WELCOMING US.

I WANNA SAY ESPECIALLY THANK YOU TO MR. JACOBOWSKY PRE PANDEMIC.

WE HAD SOME GREAT CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR THE CITY AND HOW SINCLAIR CAN HELP YOU WITH THE EDUCATION AND TRAINING, PARTICULARLY FOR THE JOBS THAT YOU ARE LOOKING TO ATTRACT TO YOUR JURISDICTION.

NOW I'M GONNA TAKE OFF MY OFFICIAL SINCLAIR HAT AND PUT MY CITIZENS FOR SINCLAIR VOLUNTEER HAT ON.

AND IN THAT CAPACITY, IT IS MY TREMENDOUS PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO DR.

ZACHARY BECK, WHO USUALLY SERVES AS THE CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER FOR SINCLAIR COMMUNITY COLLEGE, SPECIFICALLY WORKING WITH THE SINCLAIR FOUNDATION, BUT IS NOW TAKING A LEAVE OF ABSENCE SO THAT HE CAN MANAGE THE CAMPAIGN THAT CITIZENS FOR SINCLAIR IS RUNNING FOR ISSUE 10.

YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A WELCOME, UH, A HOMECOMING OF SORTS BECAUSE DR.

BECK IS ACTUALLY A 2009 WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE.

OH.

SO WITH THAT, LET ME INTRODUCE ZACH BECK

[00:25:01]

THANKS MALAN.

VERY WAR COUNCIL.

UM, I WAS THINKING, I WAS ACTUALLY SHARING WITH MADE AS WE WALKED IN, THE NUMBER OF TIMES I'VE BEEN IN THIS ROOM.

FIRST WAS AS A CUB SCOUT, UH, BEFORE WE TOURED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT NEXT DOOR.

RIGHT? I THINK IT WAS A FRESH BUILDING AT THAT POINT.

AND THE SECOND I'M PLEASED TO SEE THE WEINBERG HUBER HEIGHTS PLAQUE ON THE WALL AS I CAME BACK AS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT FROM WEINBERG, GERMANY.

UM, AND I WAS THE FIRST CLASS OF, OF PSEO STUDENTS TO ATTEND THE LEARNING CENTER IN HUB HEIGHTS, WHICH REALLY STARTED MY COLLEGE CAREER.

I RETURNED BACK TO WEINBERG AND DID A YEAR ABROAD STUDYING THERE.

SO HUBER HEIGHTS HAS GOTTEN ME TO WHERE I'M AT.

SINCLAIR GOT ME TO WHERE I'M AT AND IT'S, I'M, IT'S, WE'RE DOING 50 OF THESE IN A, DURING THE CAMPAIGN.

AND THIS WAS THE ONE THAT I MARKED ON MY CALENDAR FIRST.

I SAID, I'M DOING HUBER HEIGHTS BECAUSE I WOULDN'T BE HERE WITHOUT HUBER HEIGHTS, WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL, UM, IN SIN CLAIR COLLEGE.

SO THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME TONIGHT.

UH, YOU KNOW, THE MOTTO OF SINCLAIR IS FOUNDED BY DAVID A SINCLAIR, IS TO FIND THE NEED AND ENDEAVOR TO MEET IT.

AND I HOPE THAT YOU SEE THROUGH THE UPDATES WE HAVE ON THE COLLEGE SIDE.

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS.

UM, MADE, HAD MENTIONED 135 YEARS.

THIS IS THE IMPACT SPECIFICALLY ON HUBER HEIGHTS.

UH, THIS IS JUST LAST FISCAL YEAR ALONE.

SO WE HAVE ALMOST A THOUSAND RESIDENTS ENROLLED.

THOSE RESIDENTS EARNED ALMOST 12,000 CREDIT HOURS.

UM, IF YOU COMPARE THAT TO THE COST OF WHERE THEY WOULD ATTEND AT A STATE INSTITUTION, THAT'S A SAVINGS OF ABOUT $4 MILLION.

AND WE SPECIFICALLY, THE AMOUNT OF FINANCIAL AID THAT WAS GENERATED FOR RESIDENTS OF JUST HUBER HEIGHTS WAS ABOUT $3 MILLION ALONE IN THAT FISCAL YEAR.

SO HUBER HEIGHTS IS A HUGE PART OF THE DAYTON REGION, IS A HUGE PART OF SINCLAIR.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE, WE ARE VERY, UM, THANKFUL TO BE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY.

WE HAVE 31,000 UNDUPLICATED COLLEGE STUDENTS STUDYING AT SINCLAIR.

SO THAT MAKES US ONE OF THE BIGGEST SCHOOLS IN THE REGION, UH, ONE OF THE BIGGEST SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY OF OUR TYPE.

OVER 300 DEGREES IN CERTIFICATES THAT WE NOW OFFER, INCLUDING, UH, TWO BACHELOR'S DEGREES RIGHT NOW.

TWO MORE THAT WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THE NEXT, UH, 12 TO 24 MONTHS.

UH, WHAT WE'RE MOST PROUD OF THOUGH IS THAT 90% OF THE PEOPLE THAT GRADUATE FROM SINCLAIR STAY, WORK, RAISE FAMILIES AND LIVE IN THE REGION.

AND THAT'S A HUGE IMPACT TO SOUTHWEST OHIO.

UM, IT'S NOT NO SECRET THAT WE'RE AN AFFORDABLE SCHOOL ABOUT, UH, 3,900 BUCKS IS THE OUTER COST, UH, TUITION FOR SOMEONE TO ATTEND.

THAT TRANSLATES TO AN ALMOST DOUBLING OF INCOME WHEN SOMEBODY COMES OUT OF THE DOORS OF SINCLAIR.

AND WHAT WE LIKE TO POINT OUT IS OUR AVERAGE AGE OF STUDENTS IS NOT 18 OR 19 COMING STRAIGHT OUTTA HIGH SCHOOL.

THESE ARE WORKING ADULTS.

THEY'RE NOT COMING FROM A LOT OF TIMES A SERVICE JOB OR A PART-TIME JOB.

THESE ARE FOLKS THAT ARE, ARE WORKING AND LIVING AND MAKING, TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING WAGE.

THEY'RE COMING HERE AND THEN DOUBLING THEIR INCOME RIGHT OUT OF THE DOOR.

UH, TREMENDOUS IMPACT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, OVER A 500% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES AWARDED.

BUT WE'RE ESPECIALLY PROUD THAT DURING THESE TOUGH TIMES, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PANDEMIC, THE OTHER EVENTS THAT HAVE HAD DATE THAT WE'VE CONTINUED TO REACH MINORITY STUDENTS, AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS, WERE SETTING ALL TIME RECORDS AND DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES THAT HAVE BEEN AWARDED.

UM, IF YOU ASK WHERE THIS IMPACT WAS BEING MADE, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE SOME OF THE BIG ONES THAT WE PULLED OUTTA HERE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, HEALTHCARE, UH, PROFESSIONAL DEGREES IN IT, UH, MANUFACTURING FIRST RESPONDERS, A LOT OF TIMES WE LIKE TO SAY THE WORST DAY THAT YOU'RE HAVING IS PROBABLY, YOU'RE PROBABLY INTERACTING WITH FOUR OR FIVE OF OUR GRADS AND POLICE OFFICERS, PARAMEDICS, NURSES, UH, RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS.

IF YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY LIGHTS AND SIRENS, THEY'RE PROBABLY OUR PEOPLE.

UM, REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIPS IS THE NEXT CATEGORY I WAS GONNA HIGHLIGHT.

THIS IS A KIND OF A NEW AND EMERGING FIELD, BUT WE TRY TO GET PEOPLE TO TRY BEFORE YOU BUY EXPERIENCE, WHETHER THEY'RE NOT IN THE WORKFORCE GAINING EXPERIENCE ON THE JOB.

UH, YOU MIGHT SEE SOME NAMES ON HERE THAT YOU RECOGNIZE AREA EMPLOYERS, BUT THERE'S OVER 65 OF THESE EMPLOYERS, AND THIS LIST CONTINUES TO GROW EVERY DAY.

WE CAN'T KEEP IT UPDATED FAST ENOUGH.

SO I'M HERE TODAY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT ISSUE 10, WHICH IS ON THE BALLOT THIS NOVEMBER.

UM, YOU KNOW, SINCLAIR'S HAS ONE OF THE LOWEST TUITIONS IN THE STATE.

IT ALSO HAS ZERO DEBT.

THIS IS UNHEARD OF IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION LANDSCAPE.

IT'S HARD TO FIND ANY SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY, LET ALONE IN THE STATE OF OHIO THAT HAS ZERO DEBT.

THAT'S OUR SIZE.

UM, THE, THE LEVEE AND THE SUPPORT OF THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY RESIDENTS IS WHAT MAKES OUR IMPACT IN THIS REGION POSSIBLE.

WE HAVE TWO LEVIES, LEVY A AND LEVEE B.

LEVY A IS THE LARGER LEVY, B IS THE SMALLER ONE, AND THAT'S WHAT'S ON THE BALLOT THIS NOVEMBER.

BUT TOGETHER THEY MAKE UP ABOUT A THIRD OF OUR OVERALL OPERATING COSTS.

SO THEY'RE A BIG DEAL TO OUR STUDENTS.

THEY'RE A BIG DEAL TO THE REGION.

IF YOU LOOK AT THIS AT A GLANCE, WE'VE HAD A LEV IN PLACE FOR 56 YEARS, AND THAT'S WHAT ALLOWS SINCLAIR TO BE WHAT IT IS TODAY.

UH, THIS LEVY ACTUALLY EXPIRES AT THE END OF NEXT YEAR, WHICH IS WHY WE'RE ON THE BALLOT THIS NOVEMBER, UM, NOVEMBER 8TH AND SECRETS, ANYBODY IN THIS ROOM IS COMING UP 14 DAYS AWAY.

IT'S A ONE MILL RENEWAL LEVY.

THE BIG THING TO TAKE AWAY FROM THIS IS IT'S NOT, THERE'S NO INCREASE IN TAXES.

IT'S A STRAIGHT RENEWAL ACROSS THE BOARD.

IT REPRESENTS ABOUT $9 MILLION ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, ABOUT $90 MILLION ACROSS THE LIFE OF THE ISSUE.

UM, AND IT'S A, IT'S ABOUT $3 A MONTH, LESS THAN THREE, $3 A MONTH FOR A TAXPAYER IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY FOR A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OF THEIR HOUSE.

UH, SOME FACES ON THIS YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE, BUT WE'RE REALLY THANKFUL TO HAVE A A A A DIVERSE AND, AND, UM, AND, UH, SUCCESSFUL GROUP OF LEADERS FROM ACROSS THE REGION WHO ARE PART OF OUR CAMPAIGN CO-CHAIRS CABINET.

AND WE'RE GETTING ENDORSEMENTS LEFT AND RIGHT.

WE CAN'T KEEP THIS

[00:30:01]

WIDE SUPPORT FROM ACROSS THE REGION FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO HAVE.

BUT THE BIGGEST POINT OF THIS WHOLE THING IS THIS, THIS TAKEAWAY.

THIS IS THE BIG ROOM.

THIS IS AFFECTIONATELY WHAT WE CALL THE BIG ROOM.

THIS IS UD ARENA'S GRADUATION, UH, WHERE IT'S THE ONLY PLACE THAT'S REALLY LARGE ENOUGH TO HOLD SINCLAIR'S GRADUATION HERE IN THE REGION.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW, THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS HAVE THEIR LIFE CHANGED EVERY YEAR BY SINCLAIR.

I WAS ONE OF THEM.

MY MOM WAS A TEACHER HERE IN HUBER HEIGHTS FOR MANY YEARS.

SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW MY DAD, WHO PLAYS MUSIC AND DOES BALLOON ANIMALS AT THE FARMER'S MARKET ON SATURDAYS WHEN THE WEATHER'S NICE OUT.

UM, YOU KNOW, I'M A HUBER GUY THROUGH AND THROUGH AND I WOULDN'T BE WHERE I AM TODAY WITHOUT SINCLAIR.

AND THERE'S THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE THE SAME, UM, CIRCUMSTANCES I CAME FROM THAT HAVE GONE ON TO DO GREAT THINGS.

SO, UH, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.

I THINK WE'LL TAKE A FEW QUESTIONS IF WE HAVE TIME, UM, AND THANKS FOR HAVING US.

SURE.

AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE STRATEGY TO PAY THAT DEBT OFF OR DOWN, PARTICULARLY GIVEN THE FORESEEABLE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS THAT ARE LIKELY TO RESULT IN SLOWER GROWTH, HIGHER INTEREST RATES, SLOWER BUSINESS STARTUPS, AND PLAN PROPERTY SALES THAT FALL THROUGH AS INTEREST RATES CONTINUE TO GO UP, I'M CONCERNED THE PROJECTED REVENUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE SALE OF CITY OWNED PROPERTY AND THE ADDITIONAL TAX REVENUE TO BE GENERATED BY THE OCCUPANTS OF THOSE PROPERTIES WON'T BE REALIZED AS RAPIDLY AS ANTICIPATED.

APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.

THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION.

DOES ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS? NO.

THANKS FOR HAVING US.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OKAY, NEXT, IS IT NUMBER EIGHT, WHICH IS

[8. Citizens Comments]

CITIZENS COMMENTS.

UH, WE JUST HAVE ONE THIS EVENING.

UH, MR. PAUL SCHAFFER, IF YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.

THOSE ARE SOME TOUGH, TOUGH ACTS TO FOLLOW.

UM, WELL, I JUST WANNA SAY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, MAYOR, CITY REPRESENTATIVES, CITIZENS OF THE COMMUNITY.

MY NAME'S PAUL SCHAFFER.

I'M A 19 YEARS, UH, RESIDENT AT THE CITY OF UBER RIGHTS.

I'M RECENTLY RETIRED.

I BECOME MORE ACTIVELY ENGAGED AND INVOLVED IN THE CITY AND ITS WORKINGS AND, UH, TRYING TO REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND AND COMPREHEND THE PLANS FOR THE CITY GOING FORWARD.

I WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PUBLICLY COMMENT ON, ON AND ON THE RECORD KIND OF WHERE I, WHERE I'M AT IN THAT JOURNEY.

I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF MY FEELINGS, OBSERVATIONS, AND CONCERNS, AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO BECOME MORE INFORMED AND TAKE MORE OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THIS ONE, TO SHARE THEIR FEELINGS, HOPES, ASPIRATIONS, OBSERVATIONS, CONCERNS, COMPLAINTS WITH OUR CITY MANAGERS AND ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES TO MY NEIGHBORS.

DON'T COUNT ON FACEBOOK OR OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA SITES TO GET YOUR MESSAGE AND CONCERNS SEEN BY THE RIGHT PEOPLE.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO USE EMAIL, SNAIL MAIL, SPEAK WITH YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES AT THE VARIOUS SOCIAL EVENTS CONDUCTED ACROSS THE CITY AND ATTENDED TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE PUBLIC MEETINGS.

AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE THINGS THAT PRECEDED ME, THERE'S SOME REALLY POSITIVE THINGS GOING ON HERE, AND IT'S, IT REALLY IS INSPIRING.

LET ME THANK ALL OF YOU ON THE DIAS FOR THE TRANSPARENCY WITH WHICH THE CITY OPERATES.

WE HAVE A GREAT CITY WEBSITE FULL OF INFORMATION, AND I TRULY APPRECIATE THE PUBLIC MEETINGS AND THE ATTENDANCE.

I ALSO VERY MUCH APPRECIATE BEING AVAILABLE VIA THE INTERNET, BOTH LIVE AND RECORDED.

I ALSO HAVE APPRECIATED THE RESPONSIVENESS TO SO MANY OF MY EMAILS, INCLUDING MANY TODAY.

THESE THINGS HAVE HELPED ME BECOME BETTER INFORMED AND INVOLVED.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR WHAT IS OFTEN DOING A DIFFICULT AND FRUSTRATING JOB WORKING IN GROUPS, PARTICULARLY WHERE CONSENSUS MUST BE ACHIEVED TO MAKE PROGRESS IN OUR REPRESENTATIVE FORMATIVE FORM OF GOVERNMENT IS HARD.

WHILE THIS SYSTEM IS IMPERFECT, IT IS STILL ONE OF THE BEST FORMS OF GOVERNMENT FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

AND I THANK EACH OF YOU FOR SERVING.

I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING AND THE FUTURE DIRECTION OF THE COMMUNITY.

I BELIEVE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHOULD BE FUNDAMENTAL GUIDANCE FOR THE CITY AND CLOSELY FOLLOWED.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT REZONING AND THE CURRENT ATTEMPTS TO MODIFY THE BUSINESS TYPES ALLOWABLE ON AGRICULTURAL ZONE PROPERTY.

WHILE I UNDERSTAND THE COMPASSION DRIVING THE CURRENT EFFORT TO REDEFINE ALLOWABLE BUSINESS TYPES, I CAN'T HELP BUT BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH ACTIONS.

I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE MIX OF RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES AND THE IMPACTS RE ZONING HAS ON THE PROPERTY VALUES.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE COST IMPACTS TO A LARGE SEGMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT ARE HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO CHANGES IMPACTING THEIR PERSONAL BUDGETS.

I FEAR THE VOICES OF THESE CITIZENS OFTEN GET DROWNED OUT BY THE MORE INFLUENTIAL AND MORE INFLUENTIAL STAKEHOLDERS WHO SHOULD BE UNEQUAL FOOT FOOTING ACROSS THE CITY.

ADDITIONALLY, MY FAMILY SHARES THE CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY SO MANY OTHERS REGARDING THE LOSS OF OUR SMALL TOWN FEEL AND EXPERIENCE.

IT IS THAT FEELING AND EXPERIENCE THAT SO MANY OF US WANT TO RAISE OUR FAMILIES IN AND LIVE OUT OUR DAYS IN.

WE FEAR THAT WHAT APPEARS TO BE UNCONSTRAINED AND EVER-CHANGING GROWTH WILL CONTINUE TO ERODE WHAT WE BELIEVE MAKES SUPER HEIGHTS SPECIAL.

I'M CONCERNED OVER THE PERCEIVED DEBT THAT THE CITY IS HOLDING

[00:35:01]

IF THE ECONOMY CONTINUES ITS CURRENT TRAJECTORY, I'M CUR CONCERNED OVER THE SOON TO BE RESTARTED SEARCH FOR THE NEW CITY MANAGER.

MY CONCERN IS THAT THE VISION AND QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE NEXT CITY MANAGER FOCUSES MUCH ON, IF NOT MORE, ON SUSTAINMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF EXISTING AND AGING INFRASTRUCTURE RATHER THAN GROWTH AND EXPANSION.

WHILE GROWTH AND RENEWAL MUST BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CITY'S PLAN, SUSTAINMENT MAINTENANCE ARE ESSENTIAL TO MAINTAINING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OUR COMMUNITY WANTS AND EXPECTS.

FINALLY, I SHARE SOME OF MY FELLOW CITIZENS CONCERNS REGARDING EXPENDITURE OF SCARCE RESOURCES ON THINGS THAT MAY APPEAR EXCESSIVE SHORT TERM OR NON-ESSENTIAL.

THIS IS PARTICULARLY CONCERNING GIVEN THE ECONOMY THAT THAT BEING CARRIED AND THE EXPENDS REQUIRED TO SUPPORT THESE OBJECTIVES.

TO OFTEN I'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY THE CITY COUNCIL WILL DO WHAT THE CITY COUNCIL WILL DO, AND WHAT WE SAY DOESN'T MATTER.

THAT PER PERCEPTION HAS TO GET ADDRESSED.

I LOVE OUR COMMUNITY.

I LOVE BEING A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY.

IT'S FOR THIS REASON.

I CHOSE TO BECOME MORE INFORMED, GET INVOLVED, AND TO HELP FIND SOLUTIONS.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING THIS TIME TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS.

THANK YOU, MR. SHAER.

APPRECIATE THAT.

THAT

[00:40:01]

WAS THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE WORK SESSION.

IS THERE A MOTION MARK? MOTION TO APPROVE RICHARD SECOND OF A MOTION AND A SECOND? IS THERE? YES, ED.

OH, THANK YOU, MAYOR.

UM, I THINK IT WAS MR. SCHAFFER, UH, HAD ASKED ABOUT MY POSITION IN THE REASON I WAS VOTING NO IN AN EMAIL PREVIOUSLY.

WE'VE HAD THIS ON THE DIAS, I THINK TWICE, AND, UH, THIS'LL BE THE THIRD TIME.

SO, UH, WITH THAT I REALLY HAVEN'T, UH, MADE MY POSITION, UH, PUBLIC, ALTHOUGH I DID, UH, HAVE SHARED IT WITH SOME MEMBERS, UH, YOU KNOW, PRIVATELY BUT NOT INTENDING TO BE PRIVATE.

UM, NEVER CONSIDERED VOTING FOR THIS BECAUSE OF THE MONEY THAT WE HAD IN THE WATER FUND CURRENTLY.

I KNEW WE HAD QUITE A BIT, UM, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE EXACT AMOUNT.

AND IT WATER FUNDS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER FUND.

UH, IT'S A LIVING, BREATHING FUND, SO IT CHANGES DAILY.

UH, WHEN I ASKED OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR AND OUR LAST WORK SESSION MEETING HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAD IN THE FUNDS, HE SAID APPROXIMATELY 3 MILLION, WHICH IS FINE.

UM, SO LOOKING FOR A MORE ACCURATE NUMBER.

UH, THE 2021 CER HAD $9,292,181.

SO, UM, LOOKING AT THE REASON I, I THINK IT'S AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM.

I THINK IT'S DUE FOR AN INCREASE, THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN, UH, FINE WITH THE CPI AS WELL.

I THINK THAT'S A FAIR AND EQUITABLE WAY OF KEEPING THE COSTS, UH, WHERE THEY SHOULD BE.

UM, BUT I CAN'T VOTE FOR THIS, UH, BECAUSE WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY, MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY TO, UH, FUND THIS THROUGH THE WATER FUND.

SO THAT'S WHY IT'S A NO.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THANKS, ED.

YES, NANCY.

UM, MR. LYONS, DID YOU BY ANY CHANCE CONTACT MR. BELL TO ASK HIM WHAT, WHAT THAT DISCREPANCY IS? BECAUSE FROM THE TIME THE CAFFER CAME OUT UNTIL NOW, WE'VE HAD, UM, SOME EXPENDITURES.

PLUS, AS YOU SAID, THIS, THIS NUMBER CHANGES DAILY AND I WOULD HOPE THAT, UH, THAT YOU WOULD'VE SOUGHT AN ANSWER TO A $6 MILLION DISCREPANCY.

UH, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, IF I MAY, MAYOR, SURE.

OH, UH, I DID NOT SEEK OUT JIM BELL'S QUESTION.

I DID NOT ASK HIM.

UM, JIM BELL'S AN EXCELLENT FINANCE DIRECTOR.

BEEN HERE, UH, DIRECTING FINANCES FOR, UH, OVER 10 YEARS.

UM, AWARD-WINNING AUDIT OR AWARD-WINNING AUDITS FROM THE STATE AUDITOR WITH DISTINCTION.

JIM BELL CAN BE ON A FIVE DAY DRUNKEN BINGE AND NOT LOSE $6 MILLION.

SO THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T SEEK HIM OUT.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

ANYTHING ELSE? AND JUST RECORD.

I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF US BELIEVE THAT JIM HAS EVER BEEN ON A FIVE DAY DRUNKEN BINGE.

I JUST WANNA, I PERSONALLY DON'T KNOW.

SO, UM, I WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW UP, BUT I ANTICIPATE MAYBE SOMETHING AFTER THE ELECTION, UM, THAT THEY'VE INDICATED THEY'RE WILLING TO COME AND MAKE SOME SORT OF PRESENTATION, WHETHER IT'S THE AUDITOR OR ONE OF HIS DEPUTIES.

WAIVING THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS OF THE FIRST READING.

BRIAN? UH, THANK YOU, SIR.

UH, GREENTECH IS A CURRENT VENDOR OF THE CITIES, UH, AND AS SUCH HAS, UH, CERTAIN SPENDING LIMITS AS A RESULT OF ADDITIONAL WORK THAT WAS REQUESTED ON OUR BEHALF, UH, TO IMPROVE, UH, SEVERAL OF OUR FACILITIES.

WE WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL ADOPT THIS LEGISLATION SO THAT WE MAY CONTINUE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GREEN TECH THROUGH YEAR END.

NOW WAS THE RECOMMENDATION, IS THERE A MOTION MARK? MOTION TO APPROVE.

WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION? OKAY, BRIAN, REAL QUICK, COULD, UH, YOU ELABORATE ON THOSE ADDITIONAL SERVICES? SURE.

UH, LATE, UM, I SHOULD SAY LATE THIS YEAR, UM, THE CITY RAN INTO SOME ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO, UM, THE ROWS AND, UH, THE CONDITION OF THE FACILITY.

WE HAD, UH, SOME PROBLEMS WITH OUR SPRINKLING SYSTEM OVER THERE.

UH, AND IN AN EFFORT TO, UH, RESPOND TO, UH, RESPOND TO THOSE CONDITIONS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE FACILITY WAS PRESENTABLE, UH, WE HAD TO HAVE SOME, UH, ADDITIONAL SOD WORK DONE AT THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION.

UH, IF YOU'LL RECALL, THE CITY ALSO MADE IMPROVEMENTS TO, UM, THE, UM, UH, OVER AT THE EEL BERGER.

WE PUT IN A PLAYGROUND OVER THERE.

UH, AND SOME OF THE RESTORATION WORK DID NOT TAKE THE WAY THAT WE HAD HOPED.

UH, AND SO WE HAD TO HAVE SOME SOD BROUGHT IN THERE AS WELL WITH SOME OVER SEATING.

SO TO ACCOUNT FOR THOSE TWO MEASURES, BECAUSE THOSE WERE NOT ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED WITHIN THE SCOPE OF, UH, OF THE WORK THAT WE HAD CONTRACTED WITH GREEN TECH, UH, THAT WAS THE, UH, THAT WAS THE NEED FOR THE, UH, THE CAT WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ITEMS ARE COUNTED FOR.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

I JUST, I ASKED BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT A FOUR YEAR CONTRACT AND WE'RE 30% OVER THE NOT TO EXCEED ON OUR FIRST YEAR.

I WAS WONDERING IF THIS IS GONNA BE AN ONGOING ISSUE OR IF IT WAS A ONE-OFF ISSUE.

NO, THIS IS A, A ONE-OFF ISSUE.

WE, UM, UH, WE, WE KIND OF GOT CAUGHT A LITTLE BIT ON SOME OF THOSE ITEMS. UM, WE THOUGHT WE HAD, UH, REPAIRS UNDER CONTROL.

WE THOUGHT WE HAD SOME RESTORATION, UM, TAKING HOLD OVER AT, UH, OVER AT THE, UM, UH, EEL BERG.

UNFORTUNATELY, THAT, UH, THAT JUST DIDN'T TAKE, UH, AND THE REPAIRS TO THE, UM, SPRINKLING SYSTEM OVER AT THE ROSE DID NOT GO, UH, AT LEAST THE FIRST GO ROUND, DID NOT, UM, UH, RESPOND TO THE PROBLEM THE WAY THAT WE HAD THOUGHT.

AND THAT WAS WHY THIS HAD TO HAPPEN.

SO, NO, THIS IS, UH, WE'LL CALL IT A ONE-OFF ISSUE.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE ONGOING.

THIS IS WORK WE HAD TO ASK FOR.

THAT WAS BEYOND WHAT WE HAD SCOPED.

INSTANCE, THE TOTAL SCOPE OF THE WORK WASN'T $70,000.

SO IN ADDITION TO THE TURF, THERE WERE SPRINKLER REPAIRS AS WELL? UH, YES.

ASSUME, ASSUME THAT 70 GRANDS QUITE A BIT AND THO AND THOSE HAVE ALL BEEN RESOLVED SO THAT, THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT ARE, ARE NO LONGER A CONCERN FOR US AT THIS POINT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANY, WHY ARE WE WAVING THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING? I MEAN, IT'S LIKE IF THERE'S SOMEBODY THAT CAN COME IN CHEAPER THAN THIS 70,000 ADDITIONAL DOLLARS, WHY WOULDN'T WE LOOK AT THAT? UH, IN THIS PARTICULAR

[00:55:01]

REMEMBER THIS IS WE'RE RAISING THE LIMIT ON WHAT WE CAN SPEND.

UH, BUT THIS IS A CONTRACT THAT WE ALREADY HAVE, UH, WITH GREEN TECH.

AND IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE, UM, WE WANTED TO WORK WITH GREEN TECH BECAUSE A, THEY WERE ALREADY A CONTRACT, OR B, THEY WERE AWARE OF WHAT IT IS THAT WE NEEDED.

UH, AND B, IN LIGHT OF THE CONDITIONS THAT WE WERE ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT TIMELINESS WAS, UH, WAS OF CONSIDERATION.

SO THIS IS NOT, UH, WORK THAT WE, UM, DID NOT BID THAT WAS $70,000 IN TOTAL.

THERE WAS ALREADY A CAP OF, I BELIEVE IT WAS 55 OR $50,000.

WE'RE SIMPLY JUST EXTENDING THAT CAP FOR THE DIFFERENCE.

SO THIS IS A CONTRACT THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN AWARDED.

SO IS THIS SOMETHING LIKE IN THE FUTURE THAT WE WOULD GO OUT FOR COMPETITIVE BID ON FOR FUTURE? EVERY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT.

IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE, GREEN TECH WAS, UM, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT GREEN TECH BID ON THE CONTRACT WORK TO BEGIN WITH.

SO THE FOUR YEAR CONTRACT WAS A, A CONTRACT THAT THE CITY SENT OUT AND SOLICITED.

UH, AND THAT GREENTECH WAS THE APPARENT BEST, UH, LOW BIDDER.

WE ENTERED INTO A CONTRACT WITH THEM NOW THAT WE'RE IN THE CONTRACT IN ORDER TO RAISE THAT CAP.

THAT'S WHAT THIS PARTICULAR LEGISLATION IS FOR.

GOOD? YES, RICHARD? THANK YOU MAYOR.

UM, A AND AT YOUR DIRECTION AT A PREVIOUS MEETING AND THE FACT THAT I ALSO HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, IT WOULD BE MY REQUEST TO WITHDRAW THE FIRST AND SECOND ON THIS AND PASS THIS ON TO AN ADDITIONAL WORK SESSION READING, UM, TO ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL CONVERSATION TO, TO HAPPEN.

SO THERE IS A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE, ON THE FLOOR.

RICHARD IS REQUESTED TO HAVE THAT REMOVED.

UM, IF THE, LIKE MARK MADE THE MOTION SEAT SECONDED.

SO DEPENDING ON YOU GUYS, WE'LL WE'LL DETERMINE IF THIS MOVES FORWARD OR WE MOVE BACK TO A WORK SESSION.

COULD I, COULD I ASK A QUESTION BEFORE YOU DO THAT? SURE.

UM, FOR CLARIFICATION, THIS IS TO INCREASE OR NOT TO EXCEED.

THIS IS NOT TO RECOMPETE OR TO TALK ABOUT EXTENDING A CONTRACT.

I AGREE.

AND THIS IS FOR WORK THAT'S ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED, RIGHT? RIGHT.

SO BRIAN, YES SIR.

DO YOU AND STAFF HAVE THE TIME FOR THIS TO GO BACK THROUGH TO A WORK SESSION? WE WOULD LIKE TO BE IN A POSITION TO PAY OUR BILLS IN A TIMELY MANNER.

SO WE WOULD ASK THAT THIS ITEM PROCEED FORWARD.

BUT IF IT'S THE WILL OF COUNSEL THAT THIS ITEM BE TABLED, THEN WE'LL TABLE THIS ITEM AND DISCUSSES APPROPRIATE, UH, BASED ON THE DIRECTION OF COUNSEL.

SO MAYOR, IF THIS FAILED THEN WE COULD DO WHATEVER AT THAT POINT, CORRECT? UH, I BELIEVE SO.

IT WOULD HAVE TO BE BROUGHT BACK IN SOME OTHER FORMAT, BUT YEAH, IT'S A BILL WE OWE.

IT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED IN THIS MAJOR SOONER, SOONER OR LATER.

SO I'VE MADE THE MOTION.

I WOULD, I WOULD STAY WITH THAT MOTION AND JUST SEE WHAT THE OUTCOME OF VOTE IS.
