[2. Approval Of Minutes]

[ City Manager Report]

OUR CITY MANAGER REPORT. >> JUST A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE PAST WEEKEND AND SOMETHING'S COMING UP. I WANT TO DIRECT THE PUBLIC'S ATTENTION TO OUR WEBSITE AND FACEBOOK . WE HAVE THE LATEST VERSION OF THE E NEWSLETTER.

THERE'S INFORMATION ABOUT TAX TIME AND RESOURCES TO THE COMMUNITY AND THINGS LIKE THAT. IT IS OUT THERE. IT IS AN ELECTRONIC FORMAT DOWNLOADABLE , YOU CAN VIEW IT ON YOUR FAVORITE DEVICE. NEXT, JUST INFORMATIONAL BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO HIGHLIGHT HIS THAT LAST WEEK WE DID HAVE THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY. IT WAS CELEBRATED WELL. I WAS IN ATTENDANCE THAT EVENING SO IT WAS THEY HAD A FUN EVENT, A FUN DAY. WITH THE PARTNERSHIP WE HAVE WITH THE SENIORS AND EVERYTHING GOING ON SINCE ITS INCEPTION COUNCIL AND THE CITY HAVE HAD A REALLY GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT WE HIGHLIGHT THAT. IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS. NEXT, I KNOW MOST WERE THERE TODAY, BUT I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT A LOCAL BUSINESS BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. WE HAD THE GRAND OPENING TODAY FOR MARBLE SLAB AND GREAT AMERICAN COOKIE. THE OWNER IS A REALLY GRACIOUS HUMAN BEING. HE'S AWESOME AND BEEN THROUGH A LOT TO GET THAT OPEN SO I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT TODAY. GO TRY THE NEW ICE CREAM PLACE IN TOWN. NEXT JUST TO GIVE AN UPDATE I KNOW WE HAVE TALKED AT TIMES BEFORE AND I KNOW YOU'VE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT WHEN WE GET A NEW DOG, THE NEW CANINE, WE'VE CHOSEN WHO THAT WILL BE NOW AND WE HAVE RECEIVED THE NEW CANINE.

HIS NAME IS COLT WITH AK. WE START TRAINING NEXT WEEK UP AT THE STATE POLICE ACADEMY. HE WILL BE BACK IN SERVICE ON THE STREETS MAY HAVE 2025. TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WE WERE ABLE TO USE OPIOID FUND MONEY TO PURCHASE HIM. ALTOGETHER WITH THE CANINE AND TRAINING IT'S ROUGHLY $15,000. HE'S A BELGIAN MELON LAW . WE WON'T PET HIM TOO OFTEN BUT WE WILL SHOW HIM OFF TO YOU. YES. ALSO JUST TO HIGHLIGHT ANOTHER THING GOING ON AROUND THE COMMUNITY THIS WEEK, THE FIRE DIVISION ON SOME LAND WE HAVE OF 40 NOW , THEY ARE CONDUCTING LIVE FIRE TRAINING.

THIS IS IMPORTANT. WE KNOW WE HAVE FIRES HERE IN HUBER HEIGHTS BUT THEY DO A REALLY GOOD JOB AND PUT THINGS OUT PRETTY EFFICIENTLY. WE HAVE A LOT OF NEW PEOPLE, NEW TURNOVER SO THEY ARE ABLE TO USE THE STRUCTURE OVER THE LAST FOUR DAYS TO TRAIN EACH CREW. THESE ARE THE TWO DAYS YESTERDAY AND TODAY THEY WILL BE OUT THERE TOMORROW AND THEN THE PLAN TENTATIVELY IF THE WEATHER COOPERATES THEY WILL BURN IT TO THE GROUND ON THURSDAY. THE LAST THING, MY SHAMELESS PLUG FOR THE TAX OFFICE IS PLEASE FILE YOUR TAXES ONLINE. IF YOU NEED HELP, IN SERVICE APPOINTMENTS ONLY CURRENTLY THROUGH THE TAX

OFFICE. THAT'S IT. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOHN AND

[ Parks And Recreation Board Update]

RECREATION BOARD UPDATE. >> THIS IS CONTINUING OUR SERIES OF UPDATES FROM THE CITY BOARD AND COMMISSIONS THAT WE HAVE DONE THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. THIS IS THE FIRST OF 2025. WE HAVE THE NEWLY ELECTED CHAIR OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD.

SHE'S GOING TO BEGINNING THE UPDATE.

>> WELCOME. THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

>> AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE THE YMCA OF TATE. THERE'S ALMOST 8300 ENROLLMENTS AND PROGRAMS, SPECIAL EVENTS AND COMMUNITY

[00:05:01]

THEY ARE A BAND THAT DOES DISNEY COVERS SO KIDS AND FAMILY SHOULD ENJOY THAT . ALSO MARCH 20TH AT OUR NEXT MEETING WE WILL BE IRONING OUT THE REST OF THE DETAILS FOR OUR CALENDAR. WE MADE A VISIT TO SEE THE SPORT COURT OPTIONS . SARAH, MYSELF AND ALEX. IT IS A QUALITY PRODUCT, EASY MAINTENANCE AND WE ALL REALLY ENJOYED IT. THAT WILL ALSO BE DISCUSSED FURTHER ON.

RICH IS HERE TO GO OVER THE HERITAGE TREE GIVEAWAY.

>> I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO COUNCIL. PROVIDING AN UPDATE ON SOME THINGS WE HAVE UNDER THIS I'M RELA PROGRAM WE WANT TO CONNECT THE COMMUNITY TO OUR PARKS THROUGH HISTORY AND PLANTS. THERE'S ISOLATED POCKETS THROUGH THE PARKS SO I WILL TALK ABOUT SOME THINGS WE HAVE GOING ON. THERE'S THREE THINGS WE ARE ACTIVELY DOING. THE FIRST THING WE ARE ACTIVELY DOING, CASEY TALKED ABOUT THE CONTINUATION OF LAST YEAR. THE IDEA OF BEING WE WANT TO BEAUTIFY THE CITY FOCUSING ON NATIVE PLANTS THEY ARE EASIER TO ESTABLISH. WE HAVE THAT SCHEDULED. WE ARE BROADENING FROM TREES BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY CAN AFFORD A PLACE MAYBE FOR A TREE IN THEIR YARD SO WE WILL TRY TO BRING MORE VARIETY TO THE CITIZENS. THE GIVEAWAY IS SCHEDULED FOR THE FIFTH OF APRIL. SARAH ALREADY VISITED THE WEBSITE TO COLLECT THE ORDERS AND MAKE THAT HAPPEN. THAT IS A GO FOR APRIL. NEXT UP IS A NEW PROGRAM. WE ARE MODELING THIS AFTER WHAT THEY ARE DOING CALLED THE HERITAGE TREE PROGRAM. THE IDEA IS LET'S PRESERVE THE EXISTING NOTABLE TREES WE HAVE IN THE COMMUNITY. THERE'S SPECIFIC CRITERIA TO IDENTIFY WHAT WOULD BE AN EXCEPTIONAL TREE . THE PROCESS WOULD BE THE CITIZENS WOULD NOMINATE TREES STARTING ON ARBOR DAY THROUGH JULY 4TH . WE HAVE EVALUATION OF NOMINATIONS AND WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF THE PARKS AND REC BOARD. THERE IS A PLAQUE BEING PLACED NEAR THE TREES TO KIND OF RECOGNIZE THEY WERE THE WINNERS AND ALSO RECOGNIZE THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND OTHER SOURCES.

NEXT UP, THIS IS SOMETHING FROM THE STATE OF OHIO. SO THERE IS THE AMERICA 250 OHIO COMMISSION THAT IS LEADING THE STATES CELEBRATION FOR THAT . AS PART OF THAT THEY ARE OFFERING A GRANT FOR COMMUNITIES TO DO VARIOUS INITIATIVES. ONE IS TIED TO STORYTELLING AND EDUCATION. IT IS PART OF A TREE INITIATIVE THEY HAVE. THE IDEA IS WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT THE TREES TO OUR HISTORY. WHAT CAN WE LEARN TALKING WITH THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY, TALKING WITH COUNCIL STATE PARK , WHAT

[00:10:04]

CARLITO, COLUMBUS AND OTHERS. JUST TO RATTLE OFF WHAT SOME THINGS ARE I THINK ARE PRETTY EASY, FIRST IS A NATIVE CEDAR PLANT CELL. THAT IS AN EASY ONE TO TAKE CARE OF. DESPITE EDUCATIONAL SIGNAGE AT SOME OF THE DIFFERENT GARDENS. WE THINK THESE ARE EASY TO DO, VERY LOW COST OR NO COST AND JUST A WAY TO GET THE COMMUNITY TO RECOGNIZE WE ARE TRYING TO BE PART OF THE MOVEMENT TO PRESERVE THE MONARCH. IT IS IN SEVERE DECLINE , SO TRY TO RESERVE THAT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. THIS IS THE ONE WE ARE ASKING FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL OF FOR EITHER THE MAYOR OR DESIGNEE TO TAKE THAT PLEDGE.

>> I'M HAPPY TO. >> THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT.

>> ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? >> NONE FOR PARKS AND REC SPECIFICALLY. MORE OF WHAT THE NUMBER OF PLANNING IS. ARE WE LOOKING AT ANY DECORATIVE TREES ?

>> WE HAVE A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL LANDSCAPE PLAN. THERE IS THAT ALONG THE PERIMETER . WE HAVE INITIATED L DEBUSSY TO BEGIN PLANNING FOR THE WESTERN AREA WHICH WILL BE AN ACTIVE PART GATHERING IN AREA SO THAT WILL BE LANDSCAPED. YOU CAN'T TELL RIGHT NOW THAT THE DEPARTMENT UNDER CONSTRUCTION WILL HAVE STREET TREES ALONG THAT AREA AND IN FRONT OF THE MEADOWS ITSELF WE HAVE NOT PUT ANY STREET TREES THERE. THE BALANCE OF THE SITE IS BY A LANDSCAPE AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT EXTENDING THE ROAD OR CREATING AN ACTUAL ROAD BY THE ATHLETIC CENTER , THAT WILL BE A GATEWAY FROM GRANT AND ULTIMATELY THROUGH CHAMBERSBURG

AS WELL. >> IT WOULD BE REALLY COOL IF WE COULD PUT JAPANESE CHERRIES LIKE THEY HAVE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. WE HAVE SOMETHING THERE SO WE HAVE A SEASONAL EVENT .

>> WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT. WE HAVE THE LAYOUT OF WHERE WE WANT PLANS BUT WE HAVEN'T REPORTED ANY PLANS SO THERE'S STILL PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS.

>> ARE WE PLANNING ON MAKING SURE WE INCLUDE TREES IN THE

DEVELOPMENT PLAN? >> WHERE WE CAN WE HAVE BEEN PUTTING THEM IN. WE NEED TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION ABOUT AMENDING SOME SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS TO MAKE IT MORE TREE FRIENDLY, BUT THAT IS CERTAINLY ON MY MIND I AS WE MOVE FORWARD TO RAISE THE AESTHETIC LEVEL OF PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE .

>> I APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUESTION, WE HAVE WATER TOWERS ON OUR CITY AND A LOT OF CITY PARKS, WE MAKE SURE WE PUT SOME PLANS IN THAT HOUSE. WE HAD ONE CUB SCOUT WAS GOING TO DO THE SCOUT ESTHER EAGLES PRODUCT DID IT EVER GET

PUT IN? >> THERE'S A COUPLE ALONG CENTERPOINT 70 AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT STICK OUT IN MY MIND.

THOSE ARE THE ONES I HAVEN'T NOTICED.

>> IF WE CAN MAKE SURE WE PUT NEW PLANS IN EACH PARK I THINK

[00:15:03]

>> GREAT PRESENTATION BY BOTH OF YOU. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT

TREES WILL BE A CHRISTMAS TREE. >> WE WIRED THE DEPOSIT FRIDAY FOR IT AND SO WE PUT A TREE. BY TAKING DELIVERY OF THAT AROUND SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER WE DIDN'T WANT TO GET TOO EARLY. YEAH. IT HAS BEEN ORDERED. WE ARE DESIGNING THAT AREA WEST OF THE GOVERNANCE CENTER AROUND THIS LARGE TREE.

>> ANYTHING ELSE? >> THANK YOU. TO OUR PARKS AND REC COMMITTEE, I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO OVERSTATE THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR PARKS SYSTEM TO OUR RESIDENTS . AS FAR AS AMENITIES GO, ANYTIME YOU TALK TO A RESIDENT OR GROUP OF RESIDENTS THEY BRING UP OUR CITY PARKS. LOOKING AT PRESENTATIONS TODAY , GREAT JOB ON WHAT YOU'VE GOT DONE SO FAR AND VERY PROMISING LOOK TOWARDS THE FUTURE HERE. I APPLAUD YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS AND YOUR VISION. I THINK THIS IS GREAT. THANKS FOR

A GREAT REPORT. >> ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. >> NEXT UP IS THE TENNIS COURT

RESURFACING . >> COULD I ASK ONE MORE QUESTION? WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE NINE ACRES ?

>> WE HAVE NOT CLOSED ON THAT. WE ARE STILL MAKING PERIODIC DEPARTMENTS WITH THE OWNER . WE HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR TO CLOSE ON THAT ON THAT PROPERTY. IT IS IN THE PLANNING FRAMEWORK FOR UPDATES TO CLOUD , BUT WE HAVE NOT YET CLOSED ON THAT AND THE CURRENT OWNER HAS NOT NECESSARILY EXPRESSED URGENCY ON OUR PART TO CLOSE ON. WE STILL HAVE IT UNDER CONTRACT.

>> WHEN I SPOKE TO JIM LAST TIME ABOUT IT , IT'S A NOMINAL AMOUNT WE STILL OWE ON IT. WHY WOULDN'T WE CLOSE IT OUT?

>> IT JUST HASN'T RISEN TO THE TOP OF THE JOB JAR.

>> IF WE ARE GOING TO DEVELOP IT, IF WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT

USES FOR IT -- >> IT'S ON OUR LIST TO GET THAT DONE AND FINISHED THIS YEAR. WE HAVEN'T DONE IT YET. IT IS INCLUDED IN THE SCOPE OF THE PLANNING PROCESS.

[ Tennis Court Resurfacing - Thomas Cloud Park - Solicit Bids]

>> GOOD TO KNOW. THANK YOU. >> TENNIS COURT RESURFACING AND

SOLICITING THOSE BIDS. >> WE ARE SEEKING PERMISSION TO GO OUT AND SOLICIT BIDS BETWEEN FOUR AND SIX TENNIS COURTS DEPENDING ON HOW THE PRICING COMES IN. WE DID RECEIVE A $5000 GRANT FROM THE U.S. TENNIS ASSOCIATION TO ASSIST WITH THIS.

THAT IS AN AREA WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD AND GET BACK TO

RESURFACE THIS YEAR. >> ANY OBJECTIONS TO MOVING THAT

[ Multi-Sport Court System - Community Park - Award Contract]

>> YEAH. PARKS AND REC'S BOARD MENTIONED THIS. A NEW SYSTEM THAT YOU WILL WANT TO INSTALL AT COMMUNITY PARK. IT IS A DEPOSIT PRODUCT THAT LAYS ON TOP OF THE EXISTING ASPHALT BASKETBALL COURT. IT DOES ALLOW US TO HAVE TO DO LESS REPAIRS TO THE OTHER OF THE COURT. ALSO WHEN THE GROUND HEAVES ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS TAKE UP ONE OF THE TILES AND LEVEL THEM BACK OUT AND GET THE TILE BACK ON. THE MAIN THING WILL BE EASIER TO LAST LONGER AND PROVIDE A BETTER PLAYING SURFACE. IT IS A MULTISPORT COURT. THERE IS A STRIKE FOR BASKETBALL , TENNIS AND

[00:20:02]

>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> HOW HIGH OFF OF THE CURRENT

SURFACE WILL IT SET? >> WE WILL DO SOME GRADING A LITTLE BIT BUT IT WILL SIT MAYBE THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH OFF.

IT DOES LASER OVER THE EXISTING SURFACE.

>> IT DOES NOT MOVE UP AND DOWN .

>> THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A SPRING BUT IT IS NOT SUPER

SPONGY. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. WE HAD AN ISSUE A FEW YEARS AGO . I THINK IT'S WITH THE MATERIAL OR SOMETHING THAT WE USED FOR THAT . HOW WE LOOK AT THAT MATERIAL AND COMPARED IT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T RUN INTO A SITUATION AGAIN?

>> I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE CONCERN WE RAN INTO. I KNOW SARAH AND THE TEAM HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS. THIS IS REALLY BEING INSTALLED IN A LOT OF PLACES. IT'S EASY TO MAINTAIN, EASY TO REPAIR VERSUS THE OLDER TENNIS COURTS HAVE A FILM THAT GO OVER THEM THAT WOULD RIP OR STRETCH . I THINK THIS IS A BETTER SURFACE. TO YOUR QUESTION I WILL GET BACK WITH YOU BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE THE SURFACE ISSUE YOU'RE

REFERRING TO. >> IF I CAN HELP YOU , IT WAS

UNEVEN AND SHORT . >> THAT WON'T TO BE THE

SITUATION. >> IT WAS CORRECTED. THE COURTS ARE FINE NOW AS THEY ARE. THIS WILL GO OVER THE EXISTING

PICKLEBALL COURT. >> IT'LL BE SOME SURFACE , SOME GRINDING AND MILLING AND BASICALLY IT SITS OVER THE

SURFACE NOW. >> IT WILL BE CONVERTIBLE TO PICKLEBALL IF WE WANT TO, BUT PICKLEBALL COURTS THERE RIGHT

NOW WILL REMAIN AS THEY ARE. >> THANKS. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE SITUATION IS? I KNOW YOU SAID ABOUT MAINTENANCE BUT OVERALL ABOUT 20 YEARS?

>> I THINK WE CAN GET A LITTLE BIT LONGER DEPENDING ON LEVEL OF PLAY AND ALSO THE FACT AS THE GROUND NATURALLY OVER TIME WE CAN MILL THE SUBSURFACE BACK DOWN BUT THE WARRANTY, THE EXPECTED LIFETIME WARRANTY IS 20 YEARS.

>> THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

>> I LOVE ALL THESE PARK THINGS BUT HOW IS SECURITY COMING ALONG

FOR CAMERAS AT ALL THESE PARKS? >> I KNOW AARON TALKED TO SARAH LAST WEEK . I WANT EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND CAMERAS DO NOT BRING SECURITY. PEOPLE BRING SECURITY. PEOPLE BRING SECURITY. I WANT TO MONITOR THOSE CAMERAS. WE DON'T HAVE FIRE AT ANY OF THOSE PARKS.

WE WILL PUT CAMERAS UP BUT ONLY AS A THIS HAPPEN CAN WE FIND OUT WHO DID IT ? PLEASE UNDERSTAND WHEN WE TALK OF SECURITY AND CAMERAS WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING. ON THE DOWN TIME THEY DON'T HAVE CALLS TO BE IN THE PARK OR TRY TO BE AT THE PARKS. CAMERAS WILL NOT BRING SECURITY. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED TWO YEARS AGO WE CAN SEE THAT. OUR ASSET AS WAS TALKED ABOUT WE CAN GET CHARGES FILED. WHATEVER HAPPENS WAS BURNING DOWN THE PLACE BUT THAT WON'T STOP THEM FROM TURNING DOWN THE PLACE. I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT.

>> I WOULD HOPE THERE WOULD BE SOME LEVEL OF DETERRENT IF THEY

[00:25:04]

>> THE BEST THING FOR THAT PART IS PICKLEBALL. SERIOUSLY.

THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. BRINGING PEOPLE BACK TO THE PARKS IS OUR BEST DETERRENT. IF WE HAVE PEOPLE IN THE PARKS WHEN SCHOOLS ARE LETTING OUT WE ARE WATCHING NOW AS SCHOOL LETS OUT. WE ARE DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE WHEN ULTIMATELY IT'S A BACKUP PLAN. I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR ERIN

. >> SARAH IS ON VACATION. I DID GET WITH HER . JUST TO TEST THOSE OUT AND SEE HOW THAT

WORKS. >> WE WILL NEED SOMETHING. I TALKED TO DAVE A LITTLE BIT. WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE THAT INFORMATION AWAY FROM THE PARKS AT THIS CURRENT TIME UNLESS WE DROPPED SOME SUBSTANTIAL MONEY FOR WI-FI AND

WHATNOT. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> WHAT IS THE INSTALL TIME ON THE NEW SURFACE?

>> I WILL GET BACK WITH YOU. I KNOW SARAH WANTED IT ON THE

AGENDA. >> ONCE THEY START PUTTING IT

DOWN HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? >> A WEEK MAYBE? YEAH. THE TENNIS COURT RESURFACING WILL TAKE MORE TIME BECAUSE THAT'S MORE ABOUT PRECISION . THE ASPHALT CONTRACTOR CAN'T DO TENNIS COURTS, BUT THE ACTUAL FITTING, CUTTING, INSTALLATION OF THAT COMPOSITE SURFACE TAKES REALLY NO TIME. IT'S DOING SOME SUBSURFACE IMPROVEMENTS AND BUILDING CRACKS AND THAT SURFACE, ONCE IT ARRIVES, REALLY PROBABLY GETS BUILT IN A DAY.

>> ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. ANY OBJECTION TO MOVE TO THIS MULTI-COURT SYSTEM TO MONDAY'S MEETING TO AWARD THAT CONTRACT?

[ Disposal Of Surplus Vehicles - Police Division]

>> GOOD. YES, WE NEED TO MAINTAIN THE REGULAR ROTATION OF OUR FLEET . WE NEED TO DISPOSE OF EIGHT VEHICLES THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR. WE CAN MAINTAIN THAT PROPER ROTATION .

>> JUST TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT. THIS WILL BE OUR LAST BASIC SELLOFF OF VEHICLES WE HAVE CURRENTLY OWNED. WE HAVE CRUISERS INCLUDED IN THAT THIS WILL BE THE LAST SELLOFF OF OUR CURRENT VEHICLES WE OWN.

WE CAN SEE WHAT THE TRUE VALUE WILL BE. ANY QUESTIONS ? ANY OBJECTION, 3F, JANITORIAL SERVICES , AWARDING THE

[ Janitorial Services - City Buildings - Award Contract]

CONTRACT. >> THIS IS BASICALLY TO AWARD THE CONTRACT FOR JANITORIAL SERVICES FOR THE CITY BUILDINGS TO INCLUDE THE NEW CENTER AND PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING IN THE NEXT YEAR. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT?

>> ANY QUESTIONS ? >> DOES THIS INCLUDE THE SENIOR

CENTER ? >> THEY ARE UNDER CONTRACT WITH A SEPARATE COMPANY AT THIS TIME .

>> DO WE MANAGE IT? >> IT IS MANAGED BY THE PARKS

MANAGER, SARAH. >> WHAT ABOUT THE OLD SENIOR

CENTER ? >> THIS INCLUDES THE BUILDING .

>> WHY ARE WE PAYING FOR THE MAINTENANCE TO FOR THE

JANITORIAL SERVICES? >> THEY WILL COMPARE. WE HAVE IN THE LOI, ANY SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE , FOR EXAMPLE ,

[00:30:06]

WILL BE OUR STAFF OR OUR STAFF OVERSEEING. SOMETHING WENT BAD, UNDER A CERTAIN AMOUNT, THE CHAMBER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE.

THEY'RE WORKING WITH OUR CONTRACTORS. MAINTENANCE THROUGHOUT THE BUILDINGS IN THE CITY.

>> I UNDERSTAND THAT , BECAUSE WE OWN THE BUILDING. BUT THE JANITORIAL SERVICES ARE WHAT I QUESTION. IF THEY ARE RENTING IT

-- >> THEY WILL PAY FOR IT . WHAT WILL BE IN THE LEASE, ANYTHING WE PROVIDE , NATURAL GAS, MAINTENANCE, MONTH BY MONTH . TRASH SERVICES. JANITORIAL SERVICES. THE CHAMBER WILL BE WRITING THE CITY REIMBURSEMENT

FOR THOSE EXPENSES. >> THE COURTS BUILDING AS WELL.

>> THANK YOU . >> ANY OBJECTION TO MOVE THIS ON? SEEING NONE , WE WILL MOVE THAT ON. BEFORE I MOVE ON, I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MIKE. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WHEN THINGS HAPPEN IN THE CITY, TEXT MESSAGES , FACEBOOK MESSAGES , INCLUDING THINGS WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. POWER OUTAGES THAT

HAPPEN. WHENEVER THAT WAS . >> FRIDAY NIGHT.

>> JUST TO BE CLEAR, I SENT MIKE A TEXT MESSAGE , JOHN , BOTH OF THEM , TO LET THEM KNOW, WE WERE OUT OF POWER , WE HAD TRAFFIC LIGHTS THAT WERE NOT WORKING , TRAFFIC BACKUPS BECAUSE PEOPLE DID NOT KNOW HOW TO MANEUVER THE FOUR WAY STOP. THINGS LIKE THAT HAPPEN. PEOPLE EXPECT US TO RESPOND. WITHOUT HESITATION, MIKE AND JOHN , MESSAGING ME BACK, WITHIN 10 MINUTES. MIKE WAS IN HIS TRUCK. ON THE WAY TO THE INTERSECTIONS , GETTING TEMPORARY STOP SIGNS OUT, WITH THE POLICE OUT MANAGING THE TRAFFIC AT THOSE INTERSECTIONS . MAKING SURE PEOPLE WERE STILL SAFE. THIS WAS ON A FRIDAY NIGHT AFTER 5:00, ALWAYS WENT BAD

STUFF HAPPENS. >> I TEXTED MIKE AND TONY, WHEN WE GOT COPS TO THE INTERSECTIONS, MIKE FOLLOWED UP TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE AVERAGE WAS ABOUT 6:00 ON A FRIDAY NIGHT

. >> WE DEPLOYED PUBLIC WORKS OFFICIALS , EMPLOYEES TO GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF. I NEED TO SAY THIS PUBLICLY, IT IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE RELIEF TO BE KNOWING THAT , WHEN ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE UPSET AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON, WHEN THEY CALL ME, I HAVE RESOURCES I CAN CONTACT, WHETHER ON A SATURDAY MORNING AT 6:30 , OR FRIDAY NIGHT AT 6:00 . EVERYBODY IS GOING HOME, KNOWING THOSE ISSUES CAN GET TAKEN CARE OF, IT PROVIDES A REAL SENSE OF PRIDE THAT I HAVE IN THE CITY. AT OUR EMPLOYEES . MIKE , I AM GLAD YOU ARE HERE. I DID NOT KNOW THAT WAS YOU THAT JOHN CALLED.

>> I WILL GO TO THE EXPERTS . I DON'T PRETEND TO HAVE ALL THE

ANSWERS . >> OVERALL, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT . JOHN, AGAIN, I KNOW THE ISSUES ABOUT CONTACTING STAFF EMPLOYEES, BUT JOHN HAS BEEN OPEN, WHETHER IT IS A TEXT MESSAGE OR EMAIL, JUST SO EVERYBODY IS KEPT IN THE LOOP.

BUT , I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THAT , ON A FRIDAY NIGHT AT 6:00, EVEN WITH THE POWER ISSUE WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THEM WE DEPLOYED OUR RESOURCES AND THEY GOT IT TAKEN CARE OF. UNTIL THE POWER CAME BACK ON. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THAT. NEXT IS ITEM

[ Creekside Woods - Development Agreement]

[00:35:06]

>> THIS IS AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO ASSIST IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 149 UNIT TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT, THIS BODY APPROVED THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT LAST YEAR, EXCUSE ME , PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVED THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT , PLAN FOR PHASE ONE AND THE MEETING LAST MONTH, PHASE TWO IS IN FRONT OF THEM. THE NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTH WAS COMPLEMENTARY OF THE DEVELOPER AND THE PROCESS. WHAT THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT DOES , AUTHORIZES THE SALE OF REVENUE BONDS TO OFFSET SOME OF THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT COSTS, THOSE BONDS ARE SECURED BY THE DEVELOPER, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE ARE DOING MOVING FORWARD WITH CANAL HEIGHTS. THE BENEFIT TO THE CITY, BEYOND THE 159 NEW UNITS , OVER THE LIFE OF THE TIF, WE EXPECT TO GENERATE $3.3 MILLION TO THE CITY ON THIS PROJECT. THE TOWNHOMES ARE VERY SIMILAR , THE SAME BUILDER , THERE ARE LITTLE BIT LARGER, THEY ARE NOT GEARED TOWARDS FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS THEY ARE GEARED TOWARD SOMEBODY WHO IS MAY BE AGING OUT OF -- A MORE MATURE HOMEBUYER.

EXPERIENCED . >> EMPTY NESTERS.

>> YES. FIRST FLOOR BEDROOM , WALKOUT BASEMENT IN SOME CASES.

THIS IS THE CHALLENGING DEVELOPMENT SITE, GIVEN THE SHALLOW ROCK, AND THE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE WE NEED TO BRING DOWN FROM WILDCAT ROAD. THIS BENEFITS THE CAMPGROUNDS, THAT ALSO NEEDS WATER SERVICE. THE DEVELOPER IS HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THAT I CANNOT ANSWER.

>> ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR AARON OR THE DEVELOPERS ?

>> COULD YOU OR THE DEVELOPER SPEAK TO WHEN WILL IT START AND

WHEN WILL IT BE COMPLETED? >> THE DEVELOPMENT , THEY ARE ITCHING TO START. THE PHASE ONE IS ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETED BY JULY OF 2027. PHASE TWO TO BE COMPLETED BY THE CONCLUSION OF

2028 . >> THANK YOU .

>> YOU HAVE GIVEN US A DOLLAR AMOUNT AT THE END OF THE TIF , THE CITY PORTION , HOW MUCH WAS THAT ?

>> $3.3 MILLION . >> PRESENTATION INITIALLY GIVEN, QUESTIONS THAT ARE STILL PENDING . ARE ALL THOSE QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND THAT IS A REAL NUMBER?

>> YES . >> THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE, DID YOU GIVE THE ORIGINAL PRESENTATION?

>> I DO NOT THINK I WAS .

>> WHOEVER GAVE A PRESENTATION TO US , WHO WAS THAT, AARON ?

>> THERE WAS THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN PRESENTATION,

WHICH , THAT WAS JACOB SHIELDS. >> I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO HIM, HE DID A FANTASTIC JOB AT THE WORK SESSION. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE ADDITION BEING BUILT IN THE COMMUNITY. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK MR. WEBB, WHO HAS CHAMPIONED THE PROJECT, IS THIS GOING TO HELP OUT THE CAMPGROUND FOLKS ?

>> MOST DEADLY , THE EXTENSION OF THE WATER LINE IS CRUCIAL TO THE CAMPGROUND. I THINK TIMING IS EVERYTHING AND THIS PROJECT CAME ALONG AT THE EXACT SAME TIME THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT WITH THE CAMPGROUND IS HAPPENING. IT WILL BE BENEFICIAL , I THINK EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL TO THE CAMPGROUND. FURTHER , I WOULD ONLY ADD, CONGRATULATE YOU ON TAKING ON A DIFFICULT PIECE OF PROPERTY TO TURN INTO A BEAUTIFUL DEVELOPMENT.

>> IF IT WAS ABLE TO BE DEVELOPED, IT HAD SOMETHING BUILT ON IT THREE YEARS AGO. THIS HAS GOT TO BE TREMENDOUS.

>> WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY .

>> COULD YOU GO TO THE MICROPHONE?

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US, WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY , A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH AARON AND THE

[00:40:02]

>> MARK ? >> NANCY AND I ARE NEIGHBORS AND WE DRIVE BY THE DEVELOPMENT, HEATHER , AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING THEIR IS SOLD EASY. THE BUILDINGS ARE BEING SOLD AS FAST AS THEM.THEY CONSTRUCT I WISH YOU WELL AND HOPE THIS IS A

SUCCESSFUL PROJECT. >> HOW DO WE SAY NO, WE ALREADY APPROVED THE LIQUOR PERMIT FOR THE CAMPGROUND?

>> ONE CLARIFICATION, I MENTIONED IN MY NOTES , THE SITE IS LOCATED IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY TIF , TECHNICALLY ACCURATE , FURTHER DISCUSSIONS WITH ANDY AND CHRIS , BEST FOR US AND THE SITE TO CREATE A NEW TIF . WE WILL CREATE A SEPARATE TIF FOR THE SITE AND THE CAMPGROUND WITH FINANCING , THEIR PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE CHALLENGES AS WELL.

>> YES? >> DO YOU ANTICIPATE DOING THAT

SOON? >> YES. WE ARE DRAFTING ALL OF

THE PAPERWORK . >> I'M GOING TO BRING UP A QUESTION I BROUGHT UP WHEN WE DISCUSSED THIS BEFORE. ARE WE GOING TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE THE NEAR FUTURE ? THEY ARE STARTING CONSTRUCTION THIS YEAR,

THERE WILL BE MORE TRAFFIC . >> I HAVE ASKED RUSS TO START LOOKING AT POTENTIAL COSTS TO WIDEN THE ROAD. I THINK, BEFORE WE REALLY GO DOWN THE PATHWAY, IT IS MY RECOMMENDATION TO WAIT . ONLY BECAUSE, ANY WIDENING WILL DRAMATICALLY CHANGE THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THAT STREET . RIGHT NOW , A NICE TREE-LINED STREET , GORGEOUS DURING THE SUMMER. THAT WILL NOT BE WHAT EXISTS THROUGH A TRADITIONAL WIDENING. THE TIF FUNDS THAT, AND WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH COST ESTIMATES AND PLANNING. I WOULD NOT PULL THE TRIGGER YET. I AM AFRAID WE WOULD HAVE BUYERS

REMORSE. >> I UNDERSTAND, WE DO NOT NEED TO DO A BIG THOROUGHFARE , BUT TWO LANES WOULD BE NICE.

>> THE WAY THE DITCH IS LAID OUT . I AM WORRIED WE WOULD COMPLETELY DESTROY THAT EXPERIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON KELLENBERGER. IT IS TOP OF MIND AND I ASKED RUSS TO START LOOKING AT THAT BUT THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO HOLD OFF UNTIL WE SEE HOW THE TRAFFIC IS REALLY IMPACTED.

>> I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT IT BECAUSE RESIDENTS EXPRESSED

CONCERN . >> DON?

>> THIS PROJECT IS TWO PHASES, THE FIRST TO CHARLESGATE ROAD, I AGREE WITH YOU, I DO APPLAUD THE DEVELOPER FOR WORKING SO WELL WITH THE NEIGHBORS ON KELLENBERGER. I DO THINK WE WILL HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE PHASE TWO GENERATES , OR PROJECTED TO GENERATE, AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO MAKE

TRAFFIC FLOW EASIER FOR PHASE 2. >> THANK YOU, DON. ANYTHING ELSE? OBJECTION TO MOVING THIS ON TO MONDAY BUT JUST MEETING?

[ Canal Hights TIF]

ITEM 3H, CANAL HEIGHTS TIF . AARON ?

>> MONDAY , A PUBLIC HEARING THAT WE NEED TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING WITH THE PURPOSE 200 STATE LAW, THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE DEVELOPER, THE PROPERTY OWNER TO OBJECT TO THE TIF , THERE WOULD BE NO LOGICAL REASON TO OBJECT AND I DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANYONE BEING

[ Kroger Aquatic Center Naming Rights]

HERE. >> ANY OBJECTIONS ? WE WILL MOVE IT ON, 3I , THE KROGER AQUATIC CENTER NAMING RIGHTS.

[00:45:04]

>> THANK YOU. GOOD NEWS , WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM TO RENEW FUNDING AND NAMING RIGHTS OF THE AQUATIC CENTER. LAST AGREEMENT WAS FIVE YEARS, TOTAL OF $175,000, THEY DID SAY THEY WILL GIVE $8000 FOR THE SEASON. TOTAL OVER THE FIVE YEARS WILL BE $200,000. CURRENTLY , WORKING ON THE AGREEMENT, RIGHT NOW, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN APPROVED BY OUR LAW DIRECTOR . JUST THE AGREEMENT IS TO SOME CLEANUP. SUBSTANCE OF THE AGREEMENT IS STILL THERE. ANTICIPATING PUSHBACK FROM KROGER, IT IS IN THE HANDS OF KROGER , WHEN WE GET IT WE WILL HAVE A READY TO GO FOR COUNSEL. MAY IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER AND PEOPLE ARE READY FOR WARMER WEATHER. HAVE SOME TIME BUT WE WILL HAVE IT WHEN KROGER SIGNS OFF ON IT. I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY

QUESTIONS . >> QUESTIONS OR OBJECTIONS? WE

[ Huber Heights Community Improvement Plan (CIC)]

PLAN. >> AN OVERALL REVIEW OF , I WAS ASKED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE STATUS OF THE CURRENT COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION FOR THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS . MANY OF YOU KNOW IT IS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOL THAT MANY COMMUNITIES OF ANY SIZE , EVEN SMALL COMMUNITIES , USE THAT, IMPORTANT TOOL TO HAVE IN THE SHED. ANYWAY, GIVEN THE TURNOVER OF STAFF , IN SOME KEY POSITIONS, I REVIEWED THE CODE OF REGULATIONS, AND , I AM MAKING THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS, THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO APPOINT THE STAFF MEMBERS TO FILL VACANCIES BECAUSE DEPARTURE IN CITY STAFF , THE CODE OF REGULATIONS REQUIRES THE MANAGER , FINANCE DIRECTOR , AND A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM, AS WELL AS A NONVOTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR . FOR THAT REASON, I PROPOSE THAT WE PRESENT A RESOLUTION IN THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, THAT WOULD INCLUDE JOHN RUSSELL AS MANAGER, BILL, AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPER COORDINATOR. IT APPOINT ALEX AS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WHO WILL NOT BE VOTING . IN ADDITION, THE CURRENT CODE OF REGULATIONS HAS A MINIMUM OF THREE PEOPLE COME UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 10. IT IS CUSTOMARY FOR COMMUNITIES, THEY HAVE ELECTED OFFICIALS IN THE CIC , BECAUSE THEY'RE SPENDING PUBLIC FUNDS, AND ELECTED OFFICIALS INVOLVED AT THAT LEVEL. IT IS MOST COMMON THAT I HAVE SEEN WITH THE MAYOR, THAT A MEMBER , ANOTHER MEMBER OF COUNCIL BE APPOINTED . I AM MAKING A RECOMMENDATION AS WELL. IT WOULD BE IDEAL IF COUNCIL COULD GIVE SOME DIRECTION ON HOW THEY MAKE WANT TO SEE THE RESOLUTION LOOK WHEN IT IS PRESENTED. TWO CITIZEN BOARD MEMBERS, AND THE CURRENT CODE OF REGULATIONS, IS OLD. WE WILL UPDATE IT SO THAT THEIR TERM LIMITS AND DO SOME OTHER THINGS , THAT WILL HAPPEN AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. THE LAST THING I WANTED TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW, THE GOOD NEWS IS, THE CIC IS ACTIVE. THE PAPERWORK WAS KEPT ACTIVE. WE HAVE DEADLINES COMING UP BY MAY TO FILE SOME LEGALLY REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, FUNDAMENTALLY, THE CIC IS READY TO GO. WE NEED TO GET THOSE VACANCIES ON THE BOARD

FILLED. >> CHRIS ?

>> FIRST OF ALL, FROM A STAFF MEMBER PERSPECTIVE, ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO MAKING THOSE APPOINTMENTS FOR MONDAY'S MEETING , OR THE RESOLUTION FOR MEMBERS OF STAFF ? ANY OBJECTIONS? ANY OBJECTIONS TO MYSELF FOR , AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL , BEING ON THE CIC ? IF YOU HAVE SOME , DO NOT BE AFRAID

[00:50:02]

>> THAT IS MY RECOMMENDATION. >> NANCY?

>> I RECOMMEND MARK CAMPBELL. >> I WAS GOING TO RECOMMEND MARK

CAMPBELL, TOO. >> MARK, IS THAT A POSITION , ON

THE CIC? >> YES.

>> ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SERVE ON THE CIC ?

>> I WILL SERVE AS AN ALTERNATE. >> JUST TO SAY, ANY MEETINGS OF THE CIC ARE PUBLIC MEETINGS. ANY MEETINGS WE HAVE, WE WOULD HOLD IN THE SAME CAPACITY. WE DO IN A WORK SESSION OR CITY COUNCIL

MEETING, IT WILL BE STREAMED. >> I DO WANT TO MAKE ONE CAVEAT TO THAT. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND , DISCUSSIONS OF LAND, THE USE OF EXECUTIVE SESSIONS ARE MORE LIBERAL IN A CIC SETTING . I WANT EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND , NOT MEANT TO BE SECRETIVE BECAUSE EVERYTHING EVENTUALLY BECOMES PUBLIC, AS ALL OF YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU ARE INVOLVED IN SENSITIVE NEGOTIATIONS, THOSE CANNOT BE DONE IN THE PUBLIC EYE. THE LAW ALLOWS FOR CONFIDENTIALITY DURING THOSE

PERIODS OF TIME. >> ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO MAKING A RESOLUTION AND MR. CAMPBELL ON THE CIC ? OKAY. WE

WILL MOVE THAT ON TO MONDAY. >> THIS IS A WORK SESSION, I WOULD NOTE, IF YOU EVER PLAYED BASKETBALL WITH HIM, BE CAREFUL , I HAVE PLAYED A LOT WITH HIM. I LIKE THE FACT THAT WE LIKELY WILL APPOINT HIM TO A COMMITTEE BEFORE HE WAS OFFICIALLY APPOINTED ECONOMIC DIRECTOR.

>> OKAY, SO, OKAY, WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE. THE NEXT ITEM DO WE NEED TO GO BACK?

>> THE AGENDA ITEM APPOINTING JASON. SO, ONE MORE TIME, CHRIS , JUST REPEAT THE NAMES OF THE STAFF IN THE POSITIONS THAT THEY

WOULD HOLD. >> WELL, JOHN RUSSELL AS MANAGER, FINANCE DIRECTOR, JIM BELL, JASON IS THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR. AS MANDATED BY THE CODE OF REGULATIONS. THE MAYOR, RECOMMENDATION , AS A MEMBER OF COUNCIL , WE HAVE INDICATED WE WILL HAVE THE MAYOR, MARK CAMPBELL, THE TWO INDIVIDUALS TO FILL THAT SPOT.

>> ALEX ? >> ALEX WOULD BE THE NONVOTING EXECUTIVE, MANAGING IT AND MAKING SURE THE CIC GETS THE

NOTICES OUT . >> THAT MAKE SENSE, ALEX IS OUR, HE HANDLES DEVELOPMENT AND ALL THOSE THINGS.

>> IT MAKES SENSE. ALL THE STAFF IS OKAY WITH THOSE POSITIONS.

NEXT IS -- >>

[ Economic Development Director - Appointment]

] >> SEND AN EMAIL. 3K, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR APPOINTMENT, I AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS, I FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE LAST EXECUTIVE TEAM STAFF MEMBER THAT WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT TOGETHER AND WE DID NOT WAVER. WE MADE THE RIGHT DECISIONS AT THE RIGHT TIME. FROM A PLACE WE FEEL GOOD ABOUT. PART OF THAT IS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE A TEAM THAT WE CAN REALLY DEPEND ON. TO GET THINGS DONE. THERE IS A LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE THAT I HAVE IS THE MAYOR AND HIS COUNCIL HAS COME THAT WE HAVE THIS TEAM IN PLACE. WE INTRODUCED A WHILE BACK AT THE COUNCIL MEETINGS WHEN WE HIRED ALEX AND AARON, I SAID WE HAVE THE BEST EXECUTIVE TEAM OF ANY CITY IN THIS REGION, AND I PUT THEM AGAINST ANYONE.

>> JEFF LEARNED VERY QUICKLY AND HELD TOWN HALLS DURING HIS CAMPAIGN . EXPLAINING TO THE PUBLIC WHAT TIFS WERE ABOUT.

EIGHT YEARS AGO, THEY WERE EVIL DOING BY HUBER HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL. IT WAS THOUGHT OF BY A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE AS BAD.

JEFF LEARNED TIFS LONG BEFORE HE BECAME MAYOR. HE SHARED THE SAME THOUGHTS, VERY OPEN TO THE RESIDENCE, THAT WE WILL DEVELOP, WE WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP, AND JEFF VALUED IN INVESTING, AND THAT IS HOW WE WERE GOING TO CONTINUE PROVIDING THE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT WE HAD BEEN. WITHOUT HAVING THINGS LIKE PARK LEVIES. WE HAVE DONE JUST THAT . IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY. I KNOW ONE OF THE PROJECTS WE FORGED WAS MARION MEADOWS. WE WERE HAVING TROUBLE FOR 24 MONTHS . WE HIRED CONSULTANTS. WE WORKED AROUND SOME THINGS. ARE WE NOT ALL PROUD TODAY . HERE IS WHO I AM PROUD OF, THAT IS JEFF GORE AND TONI GORE, HIS WIFE.

COUNCIL HAD EMPLOYED A SURVEY THAT WILL GO OUT SOON. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE SURVEY WILL SAY, BUT THERE HAS BEEN A FILING RECENTLY THAT HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL FOR INDIVIDUALS. JEFF , I ASSURE YOU, THE LEADERSHIP IN THE CITY HAS GONE FROM THE TOP, I NOT ONLY MEAN THE CITY MANAGER, AND THE MAYOR , AND I AM GRATEFUL , NOT AS A COUNCILMEMBER BUT A CITIZEN. THIS IS MY HOME . I HAVE NEVER LIVED ANYWHERE ELSE AND I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. WHAT YOU AND TONI HAVE DONE, HOSPITALIZED YOU AT ONE

POINT. >> MARK, THANK YOU, UNEXPECTED BUT I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU.

[01:10:01]

>> BEAVER CREEK TOWNSHIP ? >> YES. ASSOCIATE MEMBERS , PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE IS ONE, COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS, THEY ARE PUBLIC MEETINGS, OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, TO SPEND MONEY. WE HAVE TO VOTE , JUST LIKE A COUNCIL DOES. THIS IS A PART OF IT. THIS IS STEP ONE , THERE WILL BE A SECOND COMPATIBILITY USE PLAN THAT DIGS DEEPER INTO EACH OF THE SPREADSHEET , LISTING THE PRIORITIES. THIS PART OF THE PLAN IS MORE INSIDE THE FENCE AND WILL BE DEALING WITH THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE. WE WILL NOT BE A PART OF SOME OF THOSE MEETINGS BECAUSE OF SECURITY.

THEY WILL BEGIN AND ROADMAP THE FUTURE. BY HAVING SOME OF THESE THINGS, WILL ATTRACT ADDITIONAL MISSIONS TO THE PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE. HAVING THESE THINGS, JUST LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN HUBER HEIGHTS , WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE , MAKING IT ATTRACTIVE TO OTHER MISSIONS.

MISSIONS INSIDE THE BASE OR INSIDE THE FENCE IS WILLING TO SAY, AFFECTING BUSINESSES OUTSIDE THE FENCE. THERE IS A LIST OF THE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS . WE DO HOST MEETINGS . THEY HOST IT AND WILL CHARGE THE COUNCIL FOR IT . WHAT IS THE PURPOSE? THE BIGGEST THING, PROTECT WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE OPERATIONS. SUPPORT REGIONAL GROWTH. IN YOUR PACKET , YOU NOTICED I PUT IN, THEY WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS, A PLAN, AND ECONOMIC , WHAT WE THINK IS A PROJECT, ROAD REALIGNMENT THAT WILL INCREASE OUR ABILITY TO MAKE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INTO BASE OPERATIONS. OFFICE BUILDINGS, THOSE TYPE OF THINGS. CITY OF BEAVERCREEK DID THAT , AS WELL AS THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE ONLY THREE PROJECTS THAT BROUGHT, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO US? WHY HAVE IT IN THE PLAN? WHEN WE ARE GOING AFTER FEDERAL, LOCAL , STATE GRANT MONEY , WE NEED IT SIGNED OFF BY THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS AND APPROVED AND WITH SUPPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE . THIS MAKES US IN A BETTER POSITION TO ASK FOR THESE TYPES OF FUNDS IN THE FUTURE. WE HAVE GREAT PROJECTS, WATER AND SEWER UTILITIES, EAST CHAMBERSBURG ROAD, ENHANCED COLLABORATION BETWEEN ALL THE PARTNERS. INSIDE THE FENCE , OUTSIDE THE FENCE, AND THE COMMUNITIES , DATE AND DEVELOPMENT COALITION, -- DAYTON DEVELOPMENT COALITION, IMPROVING INFRASTRUCTURE AROUND THE BASE, MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS, SERVICES I WILL TELL YOU THAT POLICE AND FIRE, FIRE, THEY WORK TOGETHER , THE FIRE DIVISION .

ADDRESSING NOISE ISSUES. SMART DEVELOPMENT AROUND THE BASE .

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. YOU GO DOWN WHAT I CALL THE FENCE --

[01:15:06]

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, WHAT DO YOU NEED? YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ EACH ONE. I HAVE SORTED THEM, HIGH-PRIORITY, SOME OF THESE ARE LOW HANGING FRUIT WE CAN PUT VERY LITTLE DOLLARS TOWARDS TO SIGN OFF. FOR EXAMPLE, MOVING POWER POLES, 235 , THE FLIGHTLINE. WE PUT MONEY TOWARDS THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS, THEY WILL BE MOVED. THE AIR FORCE AND THE DOD SAID, THIS IS A HINDRANCE HAVING THESE HERE, ADDRESS THAT. ALL THINGS WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS, WE WILL TACKLE THESE. ONE THING I WANT IS A, THERE IS NO LOCAL FUNDING FOR THIS, NOT TO OUR FINEST PERMANENT, TO FUND THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS. EVERYTHING WE ARE DOING IS ASKING FOR FEDERAL MONEY. AND DONATIONS.

CONGRESSMAN TURNER 'S OFFICE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS.

HAS BEEN ABLE TO SECURE SOME FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS. MOVE SOMETHING SIMPLE -- DO HAVE A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORTING AND OFFICIALLY ACCEPTING THE USE PLAN. I WILL GIVE REGULAR, MONTHLY MEETINGS, I WILL MOVE IT FORWARD AS WE GET ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND REPORT TO THE CITY MANAGER.

DID NOT SEE IT . >> YES, SO, WE WILL THANK THE CITY OF BEAVERCREEK FOR THIS , THEY TOOK THE ENTIRE PLAN INTO AN ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT AND TOOK EVERY RECOMMENDATION ON THE SPREADSHEET. IT CAN BE SORTED , LOOK AT THE HIGH-PRIORITY'S FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF SLIDES , DOWN TO THE LOW PRIORITIES.

THERE IS NOT A SPREADSHEET LIKE THAT IN THE DOCUMENT. EACH OF HIS RECOMMENDATION IN THE SPREADSHEET IS IN THE DOCUMENT.

>> NOT IN THE FORMAT ? >> WE ALL APPLAUDED THE CITY MANAGER. IT MADE IT A LOT EASIER TO STORE IT AND GO TO THAT.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANYTHING ELSE ? ANY OBJECTIONS TO MOVING THIS RESOLUTION? THAT IS WHERE WE

[01:20:04]

>> I WILL TAKE THAT ONE. 2019 , YOU PASSED A RESOLUTION WITH THE COUNTY , MONTGOMERY COUNTY, IN CONJUNCTION WITH FEMA AND FEMA DOLLARS, MONTGOMERY COUNTY TO HAVE A HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.

ANYBODY THAT WORKS DIRECTLY WITH THE COUNTY , WE DO WITH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TEAM, WE HAVE TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION THAT SAYS WE AGREED TO THE NEW 2024 PLAN TO APPLY FOR FEMA DOLLARS.

TAKE THE DOLLARS AWAY , IT MAKES GOOD SENSE , IF SOMETHING HAPPENS HERE, AS IT HAS AROUND THE REGION WITH TORNADOES, THEY WOULD BE HERE TO HELP US OUT. THIS IS AN ADOPTION. THIS PLAN IS 189 PAGES . IF YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH IT, IT IS GREAT, BUT I WILL TELL YOU, IT IS ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF EACH INDIVIDUAL JURISDICTION AND WHAT WE BRING TO THE COLLECTIVE OF THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT . TO SUMMARIZE THOSE DOCUMENTS.

OF THESE TAX-EXEMPT BONDS. >> ANY QUESTIONS?

I HAVE BEEN TO TWO CONFERENCES THIS YEAR WHERE IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP. JIM BELL SAID IT WAS ALL OVER THE ASSOCIATIONS HE BELONGS TO. THIS IS A SERIOUS TOPIC , NOT JUST FOR OHIO, BUT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. WE ARE HOPING TO DO WHAT WE DID IN 2017 AND HAVE OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS TO THE JURISDICTIONS .

>> WE WERE JUST -- THIS WAS THE HOT BUTTON TOPIC. YOU ARE RIGHT, EVERY JURISDICTION IN OHIO IS PROBABLY CRAFTING SOME TYPE OF RESOLUTION TO SEND TO THEIR REPRESENTATIVES.

UNITED IN THIS. >> IT WILL CRIPPLE OUR BORROWING
