[2. Invocation - Pastor Jon Strifler Of The First Christian Church At 6114 Fishburg Road, Huber Heights, Ohio]
OUR INVOCATION THIS EVENING, WHICH IS BY PASTOR JOHN STRIFFLER OF THE FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH AT 61 14 FISHBURG ROAD, HERE IN HUBER HEIGHTS, PASTOR, MAYOR GORE, AND CITY COUNCIL.AGAIN, IT'S JUST, IT'S A, A PRIVILEGE FOR ME ALWAYS JUST TO BE ABLE TO, TO TAKE A MOMENT WITH YOU, TO OFFER SOME ENCOURAGEMENT TO YOU AS KEY LEADERS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
AND THEN, UH, TO OFFER JUST A QUICK PRAYER FOR ALL OF US IN THE ROOM TO FRAME OUR TIME TOGETHER.
UM, IN MATTHEW 20, THERE'S THIS FAME, FAMOUS KIND OF INTERACTION THAT JESUS HAS WITH HIS DISCIPLES, UH, WHERE THERE'S A DISPUTE, AN ARGUMENT AMONG THEM, UH, ABOUT, UH, WHO AMONG THEM IS GOING TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT MOVING FORWARD.
AND, UH, JESUS NOTICES THIS CONVERSATION AND IMMEDIATELY GRABS THEIR ATTENTION.
HE TELLS THEM, UH, THESE WORDS.
HE SAYS, YOU KNOW THAT IN, IN, IN YOUR WORLD, THERE ARE RULERS AND LEADERS WHO LURE THEIR POSITION OVER PEOPLE.
AND THERE ARE OFFICIALS WHO FLAUNT THEIR AUTHORITY OVER THOSE, UNDER THEM, BUT AMONG YOU, AMONG US, IT SHOULD BE DIFFERENT.
SEE, WHOEVER WANTS TO BE A LEADER AMONG YOU MUST FIRST LEARN HOW TO SERVE.
AND WHOEVER WANTS TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT MUST FIRST BECOME LIKE ONE WHO SERVES.
SEE, IN MY POSITION, JUST LIKE YOURS, I OFTEN WRESTLE WITH THE ESSENCE OF LEADERSHIP.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A LEADER? UM, AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN, THE ENCOURAGEMENT I HAVE IS ONE THAT I'M SURE HAS BEEN OFFERED MANY TIMES IN THIS ROOM.
BUT, UH, FOR ALL OF US, THE ESSENCE OF BEING A LEADER, OF EXERCISING OUR INFLUENCE COMES DOWN TO HOW WILL WE HELP THOSE UNDER US? HOW WILL WE SERVE THE PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO INFLUENCE? AND SO WITH THAT, I'D LOVE TO OFFER A PRAYER, UH, FOR OUR TIME TOGETHER THIS EVENING.
UH, HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR TODAY.
GOD, WE THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE TO COME TOGETHER, UH, TO, TO, TO CONSIDER ISSUES THAT ARE AT STAKE, UH, NOT JUST FOR US AS INDIVIDUALS, BUT FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
GOD, I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD, UH, I IMPRINT UPON EACH AND EVERY PERSON IN THIS ROOM A SENSE, UH, UH, OF, UH, THE TRUE ESSENCE OF LEADERSHIP, OF BEING ONE WHO FIRST AND FOREMOST IS COMMITTED TO SERVING, UH, THE MEN AND WOMEN AROUND US, SERVING OUR COMMUNITY.
GOD, WOULD YOU, UH, INSPIRE US AND ENLIGHTEN US THIS EVENING AS WE CONSIDER, UH, WHERE, UH, IT IS THAT WE'RE HEADING AS A COMMUNITY? UH, WE OFFER THIS TIME, UH, TO YOU AND ASK YOU TO BE PRESENT IN IT.
WE TRUST YOU, AND WE PRAY ALL THIS IN THE NAME OF YOUR SON AND OUR SAVIOR.

[8. Citizens Comments]
WHICH IS CITIZENS' COMMENTS DONE.UH, FIRST UP WE HAVE MR. JEFF MORFORD.
JEFF MORFORD, MIAMI COUNTY, BETHEL TOWNSHIP, WITH THE RECENT HORRIFIC EVENTS IN ISRAEL.
AGAIN, SHOWING HOW NECESSARY BORDERLINES ARE AND THE NEED TO PROTECT BORDERLINES, COUNTRY, BORDERLINES STATE, BORDERLINES, COUNTY, BORDERLINES TOWNSHIP, BORDERLINES SCHOOL DISTRICT, BORDERLINES, WATER
[00:10:01]
AND SEWAGE DISTRICT, BORDERLINES, POSTER DELIVERY, BORDERLINES, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.BASIC MEANS TO KEEP ORDER, KEEP PEOPLE SAFE, ALLOWING PEOPLE TO FEEL SAFE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE LINES ON THE STREET TO KEEP TRAFFIC FLOWING IN A SAFE AND ORDERLY FASHION.
WITHOUT BORDERLINES, SOCIETY WILL NOT SURVIVE.
YOU MIGHT THINK WITH MY SUGGESTION THAT THE BORDER IN ISRAEL IS COMPARABLE TO THE BORDER BETWEEN HUBER HEIGHTS AND BETHEL TOWNSHIPS ARE EXTREME, BUT THIS IS HOW WE FEEL.
IT IS AN ATTACK AGAINST OUR COMMUNITY.
IT IS AN ATTACK AGAINST OUR WAY OF LIFE, AN ATTACK AGAINST OUR SCHOOL.
THE IDEA OF A BORDER WITH THE COMMUNITY'S RIGHT TO CONTROL WHAT HAPPENS ON THEIR SIDE OF THE BORDER IS A CORE INSTRUMENT TO SURVIVAL.
OUR IDEA OF SURVIVING, OBVIOUSLY IS FAR DIFFERENT THAN YOURS.
WE ARE NOT TRYING TO MANDATE THAT YOUR CITIZENS LIVE IN A RURAL LIFESTYLE.
WHY WOULD THIS COUNCIL ALLOW OR BE PART OF AN EFFORT MANDATING THAT OUR RURAL COMMUNITY LIVE A URBAN LIFESTYLE AND FORCE US TO DEAL WITH A TURMOIL AND BURDEN OF SUCH A POPULATION EXPLOSION? WHEN, YOU KNOW, WE IN MIAMI COUNTY, BETHEL TOWNSHIP CHOSE THIS LIFESTYLE AND ARE TOTALLY AGAINST THE ANNEX STATION AND BUILDING OF 1000 MORE HIGH DENSITY HOUSES.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ SOME OF THE POSTS FROM THE PAST BETHEL SCHOOL TEACHERS WHO HAVE LEFT.
THE RETENTION OF TEACHERS IS A HUGE PROBLEM.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO REACH OUT TO PAST AND CURRENT TEACHERS.
PLEASE REALIZE THAT MANY OF THE PROBLEMS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE STUDENT POPULATION COMING FROM HUBER HEIGHTS.
ALLOWED HIGH DENSITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS, PUTTING AN UNNECESSARY STRAIN ON OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM, NOT YOURS.
IF YOU ACT, BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTION, DO NOT FORCE OTHERS TO PICK UP THE PIECES.
IS THIS THE LIFE LESSON YOUR PARENTS TAUGHT YOU? IS THIS THE LIFE LESSON THAT YOU HAVE TAUGHT YOUR CHILDREN? I HOPE YOU HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THAT.
IN THE 1980S WHEN DAYTON ATTEMPTED TO CONSUME THE THEN WAYNE TOWNSHIP, HOW DID YOU FEEL? WE ASK THAT YOUR COUNCIL VOTE NO TO GRANTING SERVICES TO THE ANNEXATION LAND IN QUESTION.
PLEASE VOTE NO TO ANNEXATION REQUEST.
UNDERSTAND THAT BETHEL TOWNSHIP IS IN ESSENCE A DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY, AND YOUR COMMUNITY CAN HELP US SURVIVE.
AS ALWAYS, I LEAVE YOU WITH A GOLDEN RULE.
DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.
LAST UP WE HAVE MR. JOHN STARLINE.
SO
AND MAIN THING IS, IS I HAVE A BILL FROM REPUBLIC TRASH COMPANY THAT YOU HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH.
I CALLED 'EM ON THE PHONE ONE DAY, TOLD THEM TO COME GET THEIR TRASH CANS 'CAUSE I DIDN'T WANNA PAY THEIR FEES ANYMORE.
AND THEY THREATENED ME, SAID IT WAS AGAINST THE LAW TO DO THAT.
I HAVE THIS MONTH'S BILL, I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.
AND I'M PRETTY INTELLIGENT, BUT I DON'T LET, I CAN'T FIGURE THE WHOLE THING OUT.
THEY STILL ARE CHARGING ME FOR, UH, THEIR TRASH CANS.
BUT THEN AGAIN, THEY, IN THE VERY NEXT LINE, THEY'RE TELLING ME THEY'RE CHARGE GONNA CHARGE ME FOR JUST ONE BAG OF TRASH THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PICK UP.
SAME PRICE IS WHAT IS FOR THEIR TRUST SERVICE FOR THEIR CANS.
I'M GONNA LEAVE MY BILL HERE 'CAUSE I CAN'T MAKE NO SENSE OF IT.
I CAN'T GET THEM TO MAKE ANY SENSE OF IT.
SO MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN FIGURE THIS OUT AND SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WITH FOR PUBLIC.
[00:15:02]
NOW ANOTHER THING THAT INVOLVED THAT I'M HERE FOR IS TALK ABOUT YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, ESPECIALLY YOUR OFFICERS.I'M THE CRAZY GUY THAT PUTS UP ALL THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS.
YOUR OFFICERS, I UNDERSTAND IF EMERGENCY ROOMS, THEY HAVE TO DRIVE AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED.
MY COUSIN WAS OVER AT MY HOUSE ONE DAY WHEN ONE OF YOUR OFFICERS COME FLYING UP THE STREET, HE HAPPENED TO HAVE A RADAR GUN IN HIS CAR OR IN HIS TRUCK.
HE TOOK IT OUT AND SHOT THE CAR CRUISER.
HE WAS DOING 75 MILE AN HOUR ON HARSHMAN FIELD.
AND EVEN THE, THE, NOT ONLY THE NORMAL EMERGENCY RUN, BUT ON A JUST DRIVING UP AND DOWN HARSH MANVILLE, IF YOU WOULD COME SIT IN MY HOUSE AT NIGHT AND SIT IN MY TRUCK, 'CAUSE I LISTEN TO MY CDS, YOUR OFFICERS WILL GO BY MY HOUSE.
I KNOW THEY'RE SPEEDING, BUT THE ONLY WAY TO PROVE THAT IS TO WATCH WHEN THEY GO DOWN THE HILL THERE WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT, THE FLASHING LIGHT SIGN IS, YOU'LL SEE IT START FLASHING.
WELL, IT DOESN'T START FLASHING TILL YOU'RE 30, OVER 35 MILE AN HOUR ON THAT ROAD.
SO YOUR OFFICERS ARE VIOLATING YOUR OWN LOSS.
SOMETHING'S GOTTA BE DONE BECAUSE I THINK THE GREATEST DRIVERS IN THE WORLD ARE YOUR RACE CAR DRIVERS.
AND YOU AND HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SEEN ONE OF THEM BE DRIVING ALONG THEIR INNER RACE? GRANTED, THEY'RE RUNNING 200 MILE AN HOUR AND YOUR OFFICERS ARE ONLY RUNNING 70, BUT THERE ARE WALLS BETWEEN THE PEOPLE IN THE CROWD.
YOU DON'T HAVE THOSE WALLS ON HORSEMAN BILL, IF THEY WAS TO BLOW A TIRE FRONT TIRE LEFT OR RIGHT TIRE.
AS I WAS TELLING HIM EARLIER, I HAD BRAND NEW TIRES ON MY TRUCK.
IF YOUR OFFICER'S AT 70 MILE AN HOUR, BLOW A TIRE FRONT, LEFT OR RIGHT, YOU'RE GONNA SEE THEM.
IF THERE'S NO VEHICLE RIGHT THERE, THAT CAR IS GONNA BE IN ONE OF YOUR HOUSES.
I WOULD HATE TO SEE SOMEBODY GET SERIOUSLY HURT, BUT NOT LONG AGO, DOWN ON, ON HARSHMAN FIELD DOWN, GOING TOWARD LONGFORD, THERE'S A HOUSE THERE THAT SOMEBODY WAS BEING CHASED.
DIDN'T MAKE THAT CURVE AND HIT THAT HOUSE.
NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR POLICIES ARE ON CHASING VEHICLES THROUGH RESIDENTIAL AREAS, BUT I THINK A LITTLE BIT OF COMMON SENSE MIGHT BE BETTER OFF.
I THINK BOTH OF THOSE ISSUES, UM, IF YOU WOULD TAKE YOUR BILL AND JUST, YOU CAN HAND THAT TO HAND THAT TO RICK.
THIS IS FOR, WELL, YOU HAVE A PUBLIC, YOUR, YOU HAD A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST TOO, YOU SAID? YEAH.
SO ON BOTH THOSE ITEMS, THE BILL, UM, ON THE TRASH BILL, WE CAN GET THAT, WE CAN GET THAT RESOLVED.
AND RICK, IS THAT SOMETHING, IS THAT CONVERSATION YOU CAN HAVE WITH THE POLICE CHIEF JUST TO YEAH, I'M GONNA FIND THAT OUT.
IS ANYONE ELSE? THAT'S ALL, MA'AM.

ITEM THIS EVENING, WHICH WOULD BE ITEM 12 R.[00:50:01]
WE NEED RICHARD TO RESTATE THAT MOTION OR, UH, TONY, DO YOU WANT TO, OR RICK, DO YOU WANT TO? I WOULD THINK THE MORE APPROPRIATE WAY AT THIS POINT WOULD BE TO START IT AS A DISCUSSION ITEM AND THEN IF YOU'RE GOING TO, UH, DEFINE A LEGISLATIVE ITEM THAT'S GONNA COME OUT OF IT, UH, WE'VE HAD SOME DIFFICULTIES IN THE PAST WHEN WE'VE TRIED TO, YOU KNOW, CREATE OR AMEND THE LEGISLATION ON THE FLY.SO I THINK WE SHOULD PROBABLY GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT MR. SHAW IS PROPOSING AND THEN I COULD PROVIDE GUIDANCE IN TERMS OF THE BEST WAY TO, UH, TO DO THAT LEGISLATIVELY.
RICHARD COMMENTS? THANK YOU, MAYOR.
UH, UH, VERY SIMPLY, WE'RE LOOKING TO, UM, AMEND THE TABLE OF ORGANIZATION, UH, TO ADD FOUR ADDITIONAL POLICE OFFICERS, UM, UH, TO CORRESPOND WITH THE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION.
ANY DISCUSSION OR COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE? UH, AS I MENTIONED, I MET WITH MR. SHAW, HAD SOME PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS WITH OUR CONSULTANT.
I THINK TONY, UM, THE WAY WE WOULD PROBABLY DO IT IS TO INCREASE BY FOUR THE PATROL OFFICER LINE, UH, WITHIN THE TABLE.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? SO THIS WOULD BE BASICALLY AUTHORIZING ME TO TAKE THE STANDARD TABLE OF ORGANIZATION AND STAFFING LEVELS, UH, LEGISLATION THAT YOU'VE SEEN PREVIOUSLY.
AND AS MR. ZICK, UH, INDICATED, UH, YOU KNOW, UPDATING ON THE LINE ITEM, UH, THAT REFLECTS THE NUMBER OF PATROL OFFICERS IN THE POLICE DIVISION TO INCREASE THAT BY FOUR AND THEN TO SUBSEQUENTLY, UH, MAKE ANY CHANGES THAT WOULD, UH, CORRESPOND TO THAT ON THE TABLE OF ORGANIZATION.
SO WE WOULD NEED A MOTION TO DO THAT.
DO WE NEED TO RESTATE THAT OR CAN WE, UH, MAKE THE MOTION BASED ON RICHARD'S AGREEMENT OF WHAT THE ORGANIZATION TABLE WOULD NEED TO BE? I, I THINK WE COULD DO IT BASED ON HOW I JUST RESTATED.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION BASED ON THE CLERK OF COUNSEL'S.
AND SECOND, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION FURTHER? COULD WE HAVE TONY REPEAT THAT PLEASE?
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
I DON'T HAVE MY SHEETS PREPARED AHEAD OF TIME.
[13. City Official Reports And Comments]
UP IS ITEM 13, WHICH IS CITY OFFICIAL REPORTS AND COMMENTS.ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER OF THIS EVENING, NANCY? I DO.
UM, AS YOU KNOW, THE CITY IS PARTICIPATING, UM, IN A REGIONAL EXERCISE FOR, UH, UH, DEVELOPING, UH, HUBER HEIGHTS INTO AN AGE FRIENDLY MEETING, OUR AGE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY.
AND I WENT TO A MEETING THE OTHER DAY, UM, ON THE SUBJECT AND WAS VERY PLEASED TO HEAR THAT VANDALIA IS CONSIDERING THE VANDALIA SHEETS PRESENTED THEIR PLAN WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE ADULT CHANGING TABLE.
AND I THINK THAT WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF, OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE HERE WITH YOU, AND HOPEFULLY THAT'S GONNA BECOME A CORPORATE STANDARD WITH THEM.
SO I WAS JUST TICKLED TO HEAR THAT.
UM, ALSO ON THAT SAME SUBJECT, UM, ON NOVEMBER 9TH, THERE WILL BE A, AH FRIENDLY TOWN HALL AT THE LIBRARY, UH, FROM 10 TO 1130.
AND, UH, WE'RE ASKING PEOPLE OF ALL AGES TO PLEASE COME AND PROVIDE YOUR INPUT INTO, UH, IMPROVEMENTS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT WOULD MAKE OUR, UH, CITY MORE, UH, ACCESSIBLE, UH, LIVABLE, UH, TO YOU AND YOUR FELLOW, UH, RESIDENTS, UH, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A DIRECTION IN MOVING FORWARD.
SO IF YOU'LL MARK YOUR CALENDAR AND IF YOU'RE AVAILABLE, PLEASE STOP BY AND IT'LL BE FROM 10 TO 1130.
I, I JUST WANNA ADD TO THAT REAL QUICK.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF THE TIMES, UH, HERE IN THE CITY IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE, WE HAVE HOUSING, JUST, YOU KNOW, HOUSING AVAILABLE FOR JUST ABOUT EVERY AGE GROUP YOU CAN IMAGINE.
YOU KNOW, STARTING OUT FAMILIES, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST TWO INCOME EARNERS THAT MANY KIDS.
WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE, UM, WELL INTO THEIR, UH, EARNING CRIME AND, UH, WITH CHILDREN WHO WANT BIGGER HOMES.
UH, WE HAVE AREAS THAT PEOPLE CAN PURCHASE WHERE THEY CAN GET LOTS OF, OF LAND TO GO ALONG WITH THEIR HOUSE.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE, UH, SOME COMMUNITIES, PEOPLE WHO, UH, WHO HAVE REACHED THEIR EMPTY NEST YEARS AND, AND SENIOR YEARS.
[00:55:01]
I THINK THAT, UH, WHEN WE CONSIDER THAT AGING IN PLACE IS, IS REALLY KINDA WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AN AGE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY.UM, AND SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE, UM, AT LEAST A GOOD STARTING POINT AND A BASE FOR PEOPLE TO AGE IN PLACE JUST SIMPLY BASED ON THE VARYING HOUSING OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE HERE.
SO, UH, IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE, UM, WELL, I KNOW JUST FROM THAT FACT, I KNOW WE DO HAVE A, A VERY ACTIVE SENIOR COMMUNITY.
UM, AND, AND I THINK THAT'S GONNA GROW.
UH, SO, SO I'M, I'M GLAD WE'VE, WE'VE PASSED THAT LEGISLATION.
I'M GLAD WE'RE HAVING THIS TOWN HALL AND IT WOULD BE GREAT IF PEOPLE WOULD SHOW UP AND, AND OFFER ANY OTHER INPUT OR FEEDBACK ON HOW WE CAN BETTER ALLOW OUR, OUR SENIOR CITIZENS TO AGE IN PLACE HERE IN HUMAN RIGHTS, SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO LEAVE OUR COMMUNITY.
IF I MAY ADD, THERE ARE LIKE EIGHT DIFFERENT ELEMENTS TO, UH, WHAT IS DESCRIBED AS A AGE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY, BUT WE ALSO HAVE NOTICED THAT BY PUTTING AGE FRIENDLY, IT ALMOST PUTS A, UH, A STIGMA IN THERE THAT IT'S RELATED TO, UH, SENIORS AND IT'S NOT.
SO I THINK WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS START PRESENTING IT AS A LIVABLE COMMUNITY, UH, WITH MORE, YOU KNOW, MORE MOBILITY, UM, MULTIMODAL, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE THE GIST OF WHAT WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT, UM, AT THAT TOWN HALL.
AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP US DEVELOP A PLAN TO MOVE TO THE NEXT STEP.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING? DON? OH, I'M SORRY.
THANK YOU MAYOR, COULD WE ADD THAT TO THE CALENDAR FOR THE COMMUNITY? WOULD THAT BE POSSIBLE TO ADD NANCY'S DATE? YEP.
THANK YOU NANCY, FOR BRINGING THAT UP.
UM, I JUST WANTED TO TALK FOR A MINUTE ABOUT OLD TROY PIKE AND MARYLEE WAY
UH, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THAT, UM, UH, TO MR. SOWELL'S STAFF, THE RETRIP AND LANE ADJUSTMENTS HAVE DONE WONDERS, UH, AS FAR AS GETTING TRAFFIC THROUGH.
AND I KNOW THIS WEEK THEY'RE DOING SOME PRETTY INTENSIVE WORK AT MERRILY WAY AND OLD TROY PIKE.
UM, AS A PLUMBER, I WAS IMPRESSED THAT HER ACTUALLY GUTTING THE STORM WATER SYSTEM OVER THERE, PULLING UP ALL THE, THE BASINS AND PIPING AND EVERYTHING.
IT'S A MAJOR JOB, AND SO IT WAS DOWN TO ONE LANE AND, UH, UH, ONE LANE MAKES IT A LITTLE TIGHT AT 10 O'CLOCK THIS MORNING.
IT WAS A LITTLE TIGHT GETTING THROUGH THERE.
STILL DIDN'T TAKE A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME.
BUT WHAT I'D LIKE TO ASK, ASK PEOPLE TO DO IS HAVE A LITTLE PATIENCE AND A LITTLE COURTESY.
UH, BE KIND AS YOU GO THROUGH THERE AND REALIZE THAT THIS IS A TEMPORARY SITUATION.
IT'S GOING TO GET MUCH BETTER SOON.
SO, UH, AGAIN, MY COMPLIMENTS ON THE, THE REARRANGEMENT OF THE LANES.
IT WORKS GREAT MOST OF THE TIME.
AND, UM, JUST LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT YEAH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME DAYS WHERE AT GONNA BLOCK A LANE OR TWO.
ANYONE ELSE? RICK? UH, RICHARD? THANK YOU MAYOR.
UM, MAYOR, AT THIS TIME I, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A, UH, SUGGESTION TO ADD A WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEM REGARDING, UH, COMMERCIAL TRUCKING AND MUNICIPAL PARKING, UH, WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF HUBER HEIGHTS.
I WOULD ALSO ASK STAFF TO COME PREPARED TO THE WORK SESSION WITH AVAILABLE LAND, UM, UH, TO THAT MEETING, AS WELL AS THE DEFINED ORDINANCES, UH, IN THE CITY CODE, UH, THAT PROHIBITS, UH, SEMI-TRUCK PARKING WITHIN RESIDENTIAL AND CERTAIN COMMERCIAL AREAS.
AND IF WE NEED SUPPORT TO GET THAT ON THE AGENDA, I'D BE HAPPY TO SUPPORT THAT'S OKAY.
YEAH, ALL THAT, THAT ANITA, I JUST WANTED TO THANK RICK.
UM, I WAS GONE ON A FAMILY VACATION THAT HAD BEEN PLANNED WELL BEFORE I EVEN GOT ELECTED TO COUNSEL.
AND, UM, THERE WAS A PROBLEM AT MARION MEADOWS THAT GOT ADDRESSED AND FIXED VERY QUICKLY, AND I'VE HAD RESIDENTS COMMENT BACK.
UM, THE ONE COMMENT IS THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE MAYBE IF WE COULD PUT SOME LIKE YELLOW PAINT OR SOMETHING AT EACH END, BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF A HIGHER STEP UP FOR PEOPLE TO KIND OF NOTICE.
BUT WITH ALL THE CONSTRUCTION THERE, IT WAS VERY DARK AND PEOPLE WERE FALLING, GOING UP ONTO THE, UH, SIDEWALK.
AND SO THEY SAID THAT THEY REALLY APPRECIATE THE LIGHTING NOW THAT'S THERE AND EVERYTHING.
BUT THANK YOU FOR BEING QUICKLY RESPONSIVE.
I WASN'T SURE HOW QUICK YOU WERE GOING TO GET THAT TEXT AND EMAIL BECAUSE MINE WAS VERY SPOTTY.
ALSO, I'D LIKE TO THANK THE EMT DEPARTMENT.
UM, MY MOTHER WAS HOME HERE IN HUBER AND THEY RESPONDED AND I WAS ABLE TO TALK WITH THEM THROUGH THE RING CAMERA I HAD, AND THEY WERE AMAZING WITH HER.
[01:00:01]
RESPONSE.EVERYTHING OKAY? EVERYTHING'S GOOD? OKAY, GOOD.
MAYOR, I HAVE A FOLLOW UP ON COUNCILMAN, UH, WEBB'S COMMENTS ABOUT OLD TROY PIKE AND MARYLEE.
UM, DURING, UH, UH, UH, MY RECENT TRAVEL UP THROUGH THERE, I'VE, UH, I, I'VE NOTICED THE, UH, DIFFERENT MARKINGS AND LANES THAT HAVE TAKEN UPON THERE.
HOWEVER, I WAS ALSO NOTICED THAT SOME OF THOSE ARROWS AND MARKINGS ARE STARTING TO ALREADY DETERIORATE.
AND I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT WE, UM, BE A LITTLE PROACTIVE INSTEAD OF REACTIVE.
UH, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF MOST PEOPLE KNOW THIS OR NOT, BUT WE'RE GETTING INTO THE COLDER MONTHS, WHICH MAY HAVE SNOW, ICE, AND A LOT OF THOSE OTHER THINGS THAT OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT LIKES.
UM, AND KNOWING THAT THAT ROAD CONSTRUCTION IS NOT GOING TO BE COMPLETED OVERNIGHT OR IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO, I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE SOME SORT OF, UH, OPTIMAL PLAN THAT, UM, PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THOSE LANES IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS, UH, ADDITIONALLY WITH MAYBE SOME, UH, UM, BETTER MARKED LANES, UM, WHATEVER THAT MAY, MAY BE.
UM, AGAIN, THAT'S NOT MY AREA OF EXPERTISE.
ALL I KNOW IS I'M TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE.
UH, WE HAVE A HUGE HOLIDAY TRAFFIC IN THE AREA.
UH, A LOT OF TRAFFIC THAT'S GONNA BE COMING THROUGH HERE OVER THE NEXT, UH, 60 TO 90 DAYS.
UH, I'D LIKE TO BE A LITTLE PROACTIVE, UH, SO THAT PEOPLE'S NOT LINING UP AT THAT PODIUM, UH, AND, UH, TELLING US TO GO PACK SAND SOMEWHERE.
RICHARD, UH, I WOULD AGREE IT IS A GREAT IDEA.
RICK, IS THAT SOMETHING YOU CAN GET WITH MIKE OUT AND YEP.
I'LL DO THAT ROSS, AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PREPARED FOR INCOMING WEATHER.
I JUST WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT NEXT WEEK IS WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER OUR FIFTH WEEK.
SO THERE ARE NO COUNCIL MEETINGS, UH, WORK SESSIONS OR COUNCIL MEETINGS NEXT WEEK, HOWEVER, THERE'S YEP.
SO HOWEVER, ON NOVEMBER THE SECOND, WHICH IS THURSDAY, THERE IS A JOINT COUNCIL MEETING AND SCHOOL BOARD MEETING THAT WILL TAKE PLACE AT STUDEBAKER IN THE BOARDROOM, UH, OF THE HEIDE CITY SCHOOLS.
