Dec 15, 2022 City Council Special Meeting

TONY, WOULD YOU CALL ROLE PLEASE? MR. SHAW? HERE.

IN THE BOOK OF JOHN, THE SON OF GOD WAS IN THE WORLD, AND THOUGH THE WORLD WAS MADE THROUGH HIM, THE WORLD DID NOT RECOGNIZE HIM.

HE CAME TO THAT WHICH WAS HIS OWN, BUT HIS OWN DID NOT RECEIVE HIM.

WHY DIDN'T THE WORLD RECOGNIZE HIM? AND WHY WAS HE NOT WELL RECEIVED? BECAUSE THE WORLD OPERATES ON A DIFFERENT BASIS THAN GOD.

HUMAN SIDE SOCIETY DID NOT RECOGNIZE OR WELCOME ITS CREATOR BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF.

BUT KNOWING ALL THAT, WHY DID GOD THE SON STILL COME? BECAUSE MANKIND WAS LOST AND DISCONNECTED FROM GOD, BUT VALUABLE TO HIM.

HE CAME ON THE BASIS OF LOVE.

YOUR VALUE TO GOD IS BASED ON LOVE, NOT MONEY FOR HIS.

JOHN WROTE FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE FOR GOD TO NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD, TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT TO SAVE THE WORLD THROUGH HIM.

IF WE GOT WHAT WE DESERVE ACCORDING TO GOD'S PERFECT LAW, WE WOULD BE IN TROUBLE.

BUT JESUS DID NOT COME ON THE BASIS OF LAW.

HE CAME TO FULFILL THE RIGHTEOUS REQUIREMENTS OF GOD'S LAW FOR US ON THE BASIS OF LOVE AND TRUTH, BECAUSE WITHOUT HIM, MANKIND WOULD REMAIN LOST FOREVER.

BUT GOD LOVED PEOPLE SO MUCH.

JESUS HAD TO COME.

WHAT IF WE OPERATED ON THE SAME BASIS THAT JESUS DID? JOHN WROTE YET TO ALL WHO RECEIVE HIM, TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIS NAME, HE GIVES THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD.

CHILDREN BORN NOT THE NATURAL WAY ONLY, BUT BORN OF GOD TO OPERATE ON THE SAME BASIS AS JESUS.

ONE MUST BE BORN OF GOD BECAUSE LOVE.

THAT IS GOD'S LOVE.

NOT THE WORLD'S VERSION IS A FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

THIS ETERNAL QUALITY IS OFFERED TO ALL PEOPLE WITHOUT PARTIALITY THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST.

AND IT IS OFFERED AS A GIFT.

IF GOD FORCED YOU TO TAKE IT, IT WOULDN'T BE A GIFT AND IT WOULDN'T BE LOVE.

NO, THAT WOULD BE SALVATION BY FORCE.

NO, HE IS OFFERING HIS GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE TO ALL WHO ARE WILLING TO BELIEVE, REACH OUT AND RECEIVE JESUS AS A GIFT.

AND JESUS IS NO CHEAP GIFT, BUT THE BEST THAT GOD HAS TO GIVE.

AND THE COST WAS GREAT, EVEN HIS LIFE, BUT TO GOD YOU WERE WORTH IT.

WHEN BY AN ACT OF FAITH, ANYONE BELIEVES AND RECEIVES JESUS CHRIST, HE OR SHE IS GIVEN ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH THE SPIRIT AND ARE BORN OF GOD.

CHRIST'S LIFE ENTERS IN AND BEGINS TO GROW.

AND THE PRIMARY AT ATTRIBUTE OR BASIS OF THAT LIFE IN THE SPIRIT IS LOVE.

LET'S PRAY.

FATHER, IN ALL THINGS, WE WANT YOU TO BE LIFTED UP.

WE WANT YOUR WAYS TO BE PROMOTED AND, AND LORD, HELP US TO OPERATE IN ALL THINGS AND IN ALL WAYS, BY YOUR BASIS OF LOVE.

HELP US LORD THROUGH YOUR SPIRIT.

IN CHRIST'S NAME, AMEN.

AMEN.

TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION AND UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

[00:05:09]

[5. Approval Of Minutes]

ITEM NUMBER FIVE.

ITEM FIVE A IS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NUMBER 28TH, 2022.

THOSE MINUTES HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED.

ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS? OKAY, THOSE MINUTES ARE APPROVED AND NEXT UP IS NUMBER SIX, SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS, ANNOUNCEMENTS TONIGHT.

THEY'RE NONE THIS EVENING, MAYOR.

ITEM NUMBER

[7. Citizens Comments]

SEVEN, CITIZEN COMMENTS.

WE HAVEN'T, UH, NONE.

MARE, OH WAIT, I'M SORRY.

I HAVE ONE.

ME CORRECTLY, BACK IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES WHEN HUBER HEIGHTS WAS WAYNE TOWNSHIP, DAYTON TRIED TO HAVE WAYNE TOWNSHIP BE BECOME PART OF DAYTON.

UH, MR. JEFF MORFORD, IF YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.

JUST LOOKING IN THE NEXT CATEGORY.

I JUST, I SAW YOU HAD THIS APOLOGIZE.

UH, GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS JEFF NORFORD, MIAMI COUNTY BETHEL TOWNSHIP.

UH, LAST MEETING I EXPLAINED THAT BETHEL TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES ACCEPTED A SIX HOUSE, 14 ACRE DEVELOPMENT.

A REFERENDUM WAS CIRCULATED SUCCESSFULLY AND PUT ON THE NOVEMBER 3RD, 2020 BALLOT, AND OVER 71% OF THOSE WHO VOTED, VOTED NO.

IF BETHEL TOWNSHIP VOTERS COULD VOTE ON THE ANNEXATION AND HIGH DENSITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED OVER THE YEARS, I FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT 95% WOULD VOTE NO IN THE LATEST BETHEL NEWSLETTER.

FRONT PAGE, FIRST ARTICLE TITLED, DEVELOPED DEVELOPMENT BLOCKING PURCHASE.

I AM NOT GONNA READ THE WHOLE THING, BUT JUST A FEW HIGHLIGHTS.

BETHEL TOWNSHIP IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE PURCHASE OF 162 ACRES OF PROPERTY VULNERABLE TO ANNEXATION AND DEVELOPMENT PARTNERED WITH A, UH, OHIO GREEN SPACE CONSERVATION PROGRAM.

UH, WE ARE VERY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO STOP A POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THREE 50 TO FOUR 50 HOMES, AS WELL AS CREATE A BARRIER TO ANNEXATION BECAUSE WE HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE, THE TAXPAYERS HAVE TO SPEND A MILLION DOLLARS ALONG WITH MATCHING STATE TAX HOURS, PRESERVED PROPERTY TARGETED FOR ANNEXATION AND DEVELOPMENT.

I PERSONALLY AM GLAD THE FUNDS WERE SPENT TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED THE FIRST PLACE, BUT I AM ALSO SURE THAT THESE FUNDS COULD HAVE BEEN USED TO AFFECT OTHER ISSUES LIKE ROAD IMPROVEMENT OR SAFETY EQUIPMENT FROM A LOCAL DAYTON LAW FIRM.

FEBRUARY, 2016, TYPE TWO ANNEXATION PROCESS IN OHIO.

JUST A READ IT, JUST A LITTLE COMMENT.

IT SAYS, A PROPERTY OWNER WHO SEEKS ANNEXATION INTO A NEIGHBORING CITY CAN DO SO FAIRLY QUICKLY AND EASILY UNDER THE EXPEDITED TYPE TWO ANNEXATION PROCESS.

THIS PROCESS CAN BE FAULT WITH A REFERENDUM AND THE CITY BEING ASKED FOR ANNEXATION APPROVAL, BUT THE PROCESS IS A LONG, DRAWN OUT PROCESS, VERY DIFFICULT AND TIME CONSUMING COMPARED TO THE GROUP APPLYING FOR THE ANNEXATION AND SERVICES.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LETTER PLAYING FIELD EQUALLY AS HARD FOR BOTH PARTIES OR EQUALLY AS EASY FOR BOTH PARTIES.

AS I SUGGEST SUGGESTED LAST MEETING.

IF A GROUP ASKING FOR ATION AND THE PLAN IS APPROVED BY YOUR ZONING AND PLANNING BOARD, THEN IT WILL BE PUT ON THE NEXT BALLOT FOR THE VOTERS TO DECIDE, AS WE HAVE SEEN ON TAX LEVIES, GAS AND ELECTRIC AGGREGATION, IF THESE ISSUES WILL BE PUT ON THE BALLOT.

SO CAN ANNEXATION REQUESTS LET THE CITIZENS MAKE THE DECISION IN BOTH COUNTIES? IF MY MEMORY SERVES

[00:10:01]

WAYNE TOWNSHIP DISAGREED.

AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT? OBVIOUSLY, YOU, HUBER HEIGHTS DIDN'T LIKE IT AND WERE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

ON THE MAY 3RD, 2022 OHIO STATE BALLOTS, THERE WERE 600 AND, EXCUSE ME, 467 ISSUES WITH LIQUOR, SUNDAY SALES TYPE OF THING, TAX LEVIES, BONDS, LEVIES, INITIATIVES, REFERENDUMS, MISCELLANEOUS, WHICH INCLUDED GAS, ELECTRIC, AGGREGATION, GAS AND ELECTRIC AGGREGATION AND ZONING ISSUES.

SO ZONING ISSUES CAN'T BE PUT ON THE BALLOT.

I'M ASKING YOU TO PLEASE VOTE NO TO ANY FURTHER APPLICATIONS FOR ANNEXATION OR PLACE IT ON THE BALLOT FOR CITIZENS TO DECIDE.

AS ALWAYS, I'D LIKE TO LEAVE YOU WITH A GOLDEN RULE DUE UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD'VE THEM DUE UNTO YOU.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION, GENTLEMEN AND LADIES.

[00:35:01]

MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY THIS EVENING, BUT I JUST WANNA WISH EVERYONE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.

IT'LL BE INTO THE NEW YEAR, 2023 IN JANUARY WHEN WE HAVE OUR FIRST WORK SESSION, SO WE WON'T SEE ANYBODY AT LEAST HERE UNTIL THEN.

UH, BUT AGAIN, I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE A VERY SAFE AND, AND, UH, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR WITH, UH, WITH YOUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS.

SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

APPRECIATE IT.

ANYONE ELSE? CLINT? UM, FIRST, I, I WANNA SAY I'VE BEEN, UH, DISCUSSING WITH, UM, BRIAN AND A GRANT WRITING COMPANY RECENTLY.

WE, WE'VE BEEN TALKING, IT WAS A COMPANY THAT I CAME IN CONTACT WITH AT, UH, THE NLC CONFERENCE I WENT TO, AND, UH, TALKING ABOUT POTENTIAL FOR GRANT WRITING OPPORTUNITIES.

WE'RE STILL KIND OF DIGGING IN A LITTLE BIT, CHECKING THE COMPANY OUT AND SEEING KIND OF HOW THIS IS GONNA WORK AND WHETHER IT WOULD FIT OR NOT.

BUT I JUST KIND OF WANT TO GIVE YOU ALL A HEADS UP.

UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT IF YOU WANT ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THAT, UM, I'D BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANY OF, UM, AND I'M SURE BRIAN WOULD AS WELL.

SO, UM, I'M GONNA LOOK INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE, UM, KIND OF DECIDE TO SLOW A LITTLE BIT AND DIG INTO SOME MORE STUFF BEFORE I TRY TO MOVE FORWARD.

BUT, UM, LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY MORE INFO OR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO LET YOU KNOW.

BUT FROM MY STANDPOINT, I'M TRYING TO FIND ANY WAY WE CAN TO BRING IN SOME MORE MONEY TO THE CITY.

SO, UH, GRANTS ARE GREAT.

LOVE TO GET AS MANY AS WE COULD.

UM, AFTER SAYING THAT, UM, I WOULD, UH, REITERATE, UH, WHAT THE MAYOR SAID.

I WISH EVERYBODY, UH, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY AND SAFE HOLIDAY SEASON.

I HOPE Y'ALL GET TO SPEND A LOT OF GREAT TIME WITH YOUR FAMILIES.

I KNOW MINE ARE COMING INTO TOWN THIS WEEKEND, AND WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED.

SO Y'ALL HAVE A GOOD ONE.

WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT YEAR.

ANYONE ELSE? ANY OTHER COMMENTS? MARK? YES.

UH, I ALSO HAD, UH, SOME CONVERSATION THIS WEEK WITH, UH, BRIAN ON TWO SUBJECTS.

UH, THE FIRST SUBJECT, UH, I WOULD SIMPLY BLURRING UP AS INFORMATION AND ASK BRIAN TO COMMENT, UH, THE WATER STUDY.

YES, SIR.

THE REPORT THAT WE HAVE IN SECTION NINE, UH, I THINK TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE REPORT, IT WOULD INDICATE THAT, UH, THEY RECOMMEND SPENDING $2 MILLION IN 2023.

THAT IS WATER MAIN.

THAT IS CORRECT.

REPLACEMENT, YES, SIR.

AND 4 MILLION IN 2024 THROUGH 2029.

I BELIEVE THAT IS CORRECT.

YES, SIR.

W WHATEVER THAT'S WORTH.

UH, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER ALSO IN REGARDS TO THE AGENDA ITEM REGARDING WATER RATE INCREASES.

IN TALKING WITH BRIAN AND JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT OUR ALTERNATIVES MIGHT BE, UM, THIS COUNCIL HAD AUTHORIZED STAFF TO MAKE INCREASES, UM, AS NECESSARY.

COULD YOU SPEAK TO THAT JUST BRIEFLY? SURE.

AS WE'VE BEEN, UM, PUTTING TOGETHER, UM, OUR INFORMATION TO, UM, UH, AS WE'VE BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER OUR INFORMATION TO PREPARE FOR, UH, WHAT WOULD BE THE FEBRUARY PRESENTATION FROM THE, UM, FROM THE ENGINEER WHO PUT THE PROJECT TOGETHER, UH, AND THEN FOR OUR OWN OPTIONS THAT WE PLAN TO PRESENT TO COUNCIL IN MARCH, UH, WE CAME ACROSS A STRING OF, UM, PRESENTATIONS TO COUNCIL ABOUT THE WATER RATE, UH, AND, UM, AND ADJUSTING THE RATES, UH, REGULARLY THROUGH TIME, UH, FROM 2018.

UH, AND AT THAT POINT IN TIME, COUNCIL ADOPTED LEGISLATION, WHICH ALLOWS, UH, THE CITY MANAGER TO INCREASE RATES BY THE MAXIMUM OF THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX.

AND THERE'S A SPECIFIC INDEX THAT THE LEGISLATION, UH, THAT THE LEGISLATION REFERENCES, BUT, UH, UM, ADMINISTRATION DOES HAVE, HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT BASED ON THAT LEGISLATION.

UH, IN PREVIOUS YEARS, UM, THE RATES HAVE HAVE BEEN LOW.

THEY'VE BEEN, UH, TYPICALLY DESIGNED TO MATCH EITHER PREVIOUS PROJECTIONS, UH, FROM THAT STUDY IN 2018, THAT WAS PREPARED BY FORMER ASSISTANT S MANAGER, SCOTT FALKOWSKI.

UM, BUT, UH, BASED ON THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX, UH, UM, SO FOR INSTANCE, UH, RIGHT NOW IT'S 7%.

SO, UM, STAFF IN THEORY, CITY MANAGER COULD, IN THEORY RAISE, UH, RATES THAT HIGH.

BUT, UH, NOT PLANNING TO DO THAT, JUST, UH, REITERATING TO COUNSEL THAT THAT'S WHAT, UH, THE LEGISLATION CURRENTLY AUTHORIZES.

SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO DIG, WE'RE CONTINUING TO LOOK, I, I THINK THERE MIGHT BE SOME, UH, ADDITIONAL HELPFUL INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN, IN THE, UH, IN THE ARCHIVES.

SO, UH, WE HOPE TO BE, UH, FULLY BRIEFED AND, AND, UH, PRESENT, READY TO GO IN MARCH.

AND, AND ALL OF THIS EFFORT WAS, UH, TO STRIVE TO GET A, UH, LIFECYCLE PROGRAM PUT TOGETHER AND ADDRESS LONG-TERM OR WATER MAIN ISSUES.

SO, UM, BRIAN, IF YOU WOULD KEEP US UPDATED ON THAT AS WE GO, PLEASE.

AND I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE A COPY OF THAT LEGISLATION TO MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

I KNOW THERE'S SEVERAL OF YOU ON HERE, UH, WHO WERE SITTING IN 2018, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL OF YOU ON HERE WHO WERE NOT.

SO, UH, I'M HAPPY TO SEND THAT OUT.

UH, SO COUNCIL CAN HAVE THAT.

THANKS FOR DOING THAT.

REMEMBER THAT, I THINK THAT WAS WHEN WE WERE, UM, ABOUT 11 MILLION IN, ON THE WATER SOFTING PROJECT.

BRIAN.

WAS THAT, I THINK I, SO I THINK I, AND I DO

[00:40:01]

AND I THINK THAT, I THINK THAT WAS THE PURPOSE THAT I THINK I, I REMEMBER THOSE POWERPOINTS THAT WERE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL THEN SHOWING WHAT, WHAT THESE, WHAT DOES NECESSARY RATE INCREASES MIGHT BE TO COVER THE 11 MILLION THAT WE PUT INTO THE WATER.

YEAH.

THE, THE MATERIAL.

YEAH, THE MATERIAL.

IT, IT, IT'S QUITE THICK.

IT GOES BACK OVER, I THINK IT'S FIVE OR SIX MEETINGS FROM, I WANNA SAY JUNE THROUGH SEPTEMBER.

SO WASN'T THAT, WHAT, WHAT WAS IT, WASN'T THAT MEANT TO ADDRESS, BECAUSE THE, THE, THAT WAS ALL THE WATER SALTING STUFF, RIGHT? UH, YES.

YES.

IT'S THAT IN THE, IN THE PRESSURE, THE NORTH PRESSURE PRESSURE.

YES, SIR.

AND, AND MOVING FORWARD, THIS, THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

UH, YES.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN THROUGH ALL THE DOCUMENTS, BUT, UH, THERE ARE SEVERAL PLACES WHERE, UM, UH, MR. FALKOWSKI HAD PULLED INFORMATION FROM THE OAKWOOD REGIONAL WATER AND SEWER STUDY AND HAD MADE PROJECTIONS.

SO THERE'S A, UM, A NUMBER OF SLIDES, NUMBER OF POWERPOINTS THAT TALK ABOUT, UH, FUTURE GROWTH AND, UH, RATES AND EXPENSES.

SO, UM, UH, IF YOU'RE NOT A CITY MANAGER AND LOOKING FOR A REASON TO FALL ASLEEP EARLY, UH, I WOULD SUGGEST YOU HARKEN BACK TO A FEW OF THE MEETINGS IN 2018.

IT, IT, IT REALLY MIGHT BE A SUBSTANTIAL TOOL FOR US TO LOOK AT.

UM, COUPLE THINGS, UM, FOLLOWING UP WITH WHAT MR. OTTO SAID, UH, WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF GRANT OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO US THROUGH, UM, MIAMI VALLEY REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION.

AND, UM, I'VE PROVIDED THOSE RESOURCES TO OUR CITY MANAGER ALSO, UH, AND HAVING THEM LOCAL AND REALLY TIED INTO, UH, THESE GRANTS, UM, AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT TAKES TO CAPITALIZE AND BE SUCCESSFUL IN, IN APPLYING FOR THOSE GRANTS, UM, IS REALLY IMPORTANT IN GOING FORWARD BECAUSE THEY ARE SO COMPETITIVE.

UM, I DO WANT TO THANK, UM, THE CITY MANAGER AND, UM, MAYOR AND, UH, AND COUNCIL FOR ALL THE SUPPORT THIS PAST YEAR AND THE PROGRESS THAT WE HAVE MADE.

IT HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS YEAR.

UM, BY SPRING THERE'S GONNA BE SO MUCH GOING ON.

I SAW DOG TOWN STRUCTURES COMING DOWN.

NOW WE'VE GOT THE BEAUTIFUL NEW LIBRARY COMING IN.

UH, THERE'S DIRT MOVING EVERYWHERE.

THERE'S A NEW DEVELOPMENT GOING UP BY WHERE I LIVE.

UM, IT'S JUST, IT'S, IT'S, I THINK IT'S GREAT TO SEE US MOVING FORWARD, UM, AND, UM, LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR NEXT YEAR.

THANKS, NANCY.

MM-HMM.

, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? AND I LIKE TO KIND OF DITTO AND GLEN, I'D LIKE TO WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY HOLIDAYS, HOWEVER YOU SPEND YOUR HOLIDAYS.

UM, THANK YOU FOR MY FIRST YEAR, UM, I'VE SURVIVED AND I'M GLAD , A LOT OF LIFE CHANGES HERE.

UM, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE UPCOMING YEAR AND SEEING WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN HERE AND, UM, TO ALL THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

DAVE, WELCOME ABOARD.

UM, SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO 2023 AND WHAT THE CITY CAN DO.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS, KATE? THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO WISH A HAPPY HANUKKAH START SUNDAY AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAVE A SAFE AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR.

MICROPHONE FROM A CONSTITUENT.

ANYONE ELSE, DON? WELL, OF COURSE.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN HUBER HEIGHTS.

AND I WASN'T GONNA BRING IT UP, BUT SINCE WE GOT TALKING ABOUT WATER, THERE IS SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO READ.

SORRY, MARK.

UM, MARK, DID YOU GET THE MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR'S TIME? EVERYBODY IN HUBER HEIGHTS? GOOD? YES.

OUR, UM, OUR CONCEPT IS THAT THE ENGINEER, UH, A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE ENGINEERING FROM BURGESON, NIEL WILL BE HERE FOR THE SECOND WORK SESSION IN FEBRUARY, UH, TO REVIEW THE PLAN IN GREATER DETAIL THAN THE SIMPLE SUMMARY SHEET THAT WE PROVIDED, UH, TO COUNSEL, UH, BE ABLE TO ADDRESS QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS, UH, FROM THE DAIS TO HELP GET, MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE INFORMATION YOU NEED OR WANT FROM THE STUDY.

THAT'S THE IMPORTANT PART.

I DO WANNA BRING UP SOMETHING, UH, ABOUT THE WATER SINCE THE DISCUSSION HAS BEEN, UH, BROACHED HERE.

AND THAT'S TO READ A PARAGRAPH, UH, FROM A CITIZEN WHO SENT, UH, AN EMAIL TO ALL OF CITY COUNCIL.

AND THAT PARAGRAPH READS, TO ACHIEVE ECONOMIC EFFICIENCIES AND MINIMIZE CITIZEN INCONVENIENCE RESULTING FROM THE CONSTANT CONSTRUCTION OF HOME COORDINATED EFFORTS, A LIFECYCLE STRATEGY SHOULD BE PURSUED.

A PLAN TO ADD MONEY TO THE BUDGET WITHOUT AN ACCOMPANYING AGREED TO STRATEGY AND FULL UNDERSTANDING AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE RISKS IS INCOMPLETE.

AND I'LL ADD TO THAT, BRIAN, I THINK WHEN YOU FIRST PRESENTED THIS TO US, UM, A FEW MONTHS BACK, I BELIEVE YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU WERE LOOKING AT FEBRUARY AS A DATE WHERE WE COULD REALLY START TO DIGEST THE RESULTS OF THE, UM, WATER STUDY AND DELVE INTO WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE A PERMANENT PLAN.

DO YOU FEEL THAT'S STILL ON TARGET? CORRECT.

[00:45:01]

AND BASED ON THAT INFORMATION, UM, WE'VE STARTED TO DEVELOP WHAT WE THINK ARE, UM, FOR DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO TRY AND ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.

UH, WE'LL TWEAK, UH, WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON BASED ON THOSE COMMENTS, AND WE FEEL WE'LL BE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT THOSE TO COUNCIL SOMETIME IN MARCH, UH, TO REALLY KIND OF BEGIN THAT, THAT DISCUSSION, UM, ABOUT, UH, WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN ITS FULL CONCEPT, AND THEN HOW COUNCIL WANTS TO BE ABLE TO APPROACH THAT FROM A GOVERNANCE STANDPOINT.

THANK YOU, BRIAN.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? RICHARD? I GUESS I'LL, UH, FINISH THINGS UP HERE.

UM, FIRST OFF, I, I, I DO WANNA SAY, UH, ANOTHER PIECE OF GREAT NEWS COMING OUT OF THE, UH, NLC, UH, CONFERENCE.

AS THIS COUNCIL KNOWS, I SERVED MY LAST YEAR ON THE, UM, COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AS THE VICE CHAIR, UM, THROUGH SOME OF THAT WORK.

UM, WE'VE ALL TALKED HERE ON COUNCIL AND, AND MY CONVERSATION WITH BRIAN ON, ON WAYS THAT WE CAN REACH OUT TO NATIONWIDE, UH, BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURS, SMALL BUSINESSES, AND, AND LOOK, YOU KNOW, FOR HUBER HEIGHTS AS A HOME FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS.

UM, WELL, JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, UM, ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH, UM, HAS AGREED, UM, TO DO A DIGITAL AND PRINT PLATFORM AND DO A COMPLETE HIGHLIGHT OF HUBER HEIGHTS IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY.

UM, AND, UH, THAT WILL TALK, TALK ABOUT ALL OF OUR, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE, OUR BUSINESS GROWTH, UM, AND JUST A, A COMPLETE OVERALL REVIEW OF OUR ECONOMIC, UM, PLANS AND GROWTH AND THIS, UH, THIS PLATFORM.

AND, UM, AND PRINT IS SEEN BY ALL SORTS OF, OF, UH, OF BUSINESS INDIVIDUALS, ENTREPRENEURS, SMALL BUSINESSES, LARGE BUSINESSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

UH, SO I, I THINK THAT'S JUST ANOTHER FEATHER IN OUR CAP, UH, THAT WE CAN CONTINUE ON.

I KNOW I'VE SENT SOME INFORMATION.

THE CITY MANAGER WILL BE HAVING AN INTERVIEW, UM, AFTER THE FIRST YEAR WITH THE MAGAZINE AND, UH, AND, AND, AND DATABASE, UM, BEGINNING SOME PICTURES TO THEM.

BUT I, I THINK THAT'S JUST A CONTINUING GREAT NEWS GOING INTO, UH, THE NEXT YEAR.

AND, UM, AND FINALLY AGAIN, YOU KNOW, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYBODY.

I THINK, UH, UM, 2023 AND, UH, UH, MANY YEARS TO GO WILL, UH, BE QUITE SUCCESSFUL FOR THIS COUNCIL.
