[00:00:12]

>>> GOOD EVENING, WELCOME TO THE CITY COUNCIL WORK SELGZ. AUGUST 4, 2025. IT'S A MONDAY. TYPICALLY WE HAVE THESE ON A TUESDAY BUT WE ARE DOING IT ON MONDAY BECAUSE TOMORROW NIGHT IS THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT. OKAY. SO THE MEETING IS OFFICIALLY CALLED TO ORDER, SO WHY DONE YOU CALL THE ROLL?

[2. Approval Of Minutes]

>>. >> MIKE AND NANCY ARE NOT HERE THIS EVENING. THEY WITH NOT ABLE TO ATTEND. WE WILL START WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES, JULY 22, 2025 MINUTESTS. THOSE

[ City Manager Report]

>> A COUPLE OF THINGS TONIGHT. WE WILL START WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY WE HAVE HAD. SO JASON HAS BEEN HARD AT IT. SO FAR THIS YEAR, WE VISITED 57 BUSINESSES THROUGH THE RETENTION PLAN. WE HAVE ASSISTED BUSINESSES TO CONTINUE TO SUBMIT THE BACKFLOW CERTIFICATES AND SIX BUSINESSES HE IS WORKING WITH NOW. TO DATE FOR THIS YEAR, WE HAVE 26 NEW BUSINESSES THAT HAVE OPENED THROUGH JULY, 2025. AND JUST FOR REFERENCE, ALL OF 24, WE HAD 30 NEW BUSINESSES. SO THAT'S A REFERENCE POINT FOR YOU. HE DID ATTEND THE OHIO TARGET INDUSTRY STRATEGIES HE GOES TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETINGS. ONE OF OUR PARTNERS, DAYTON DEVELOPMENT COALITION, HE IS INVOLVED IN WHAT THEY ARE GOING ON AS WELL. COSTAR, AND THEN THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY BUILDINGS DEVELOPERS MEETING. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE -- IF YOU WILL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, WE HAVE SOME EXCITING THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU NOW. WE HAVE VIDEOS THAT WILL BE COMING OUT. I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE SEEN THE DRAFT VERSIONS. JUST TRYING TO MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR CITIZENS TO FIND ANSWERS ABOUT THINGS. THE FIRST ONE WE CREATED WAS JUST A SMALL DEO ABOUT T.I.F.S AND WHAT THEY ARE. SO AARON WILL THAT VIDEO FOR

YOU. IT'S ABOUT 2 MINUTES. >> ONE TOOL THEY USE IS CALLED TAX INKREMENT FINANCING OR TIF. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS. THE CITY IDENTIFIES AN AREA THAT IS OUT DATED, UNDERUSED OR IN NEED OF A NEW START. IT IS DESIGNATED A TIF AREA. PROPERTY TAXES ARE ASSESSED AT THE CURRENT USE. THE CITY STEPS IN BY MAKING DIRECT -- HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW CITIES LIKE HUBER HEIGHTS PAY FOR BIG IMPROVEMENTS LIKE FIXING ROADS, BUILDING PARKS OR REVIVING OLD NEIGHBORHOODS WITHOUT RAISING YOUR TAXES? ONE TOOL THEY USE IS CALLED TAX INCREMENT FINANCING OR TIF. THE CITY IDENTIFIES AN AREA WITH POTENTIAL, MAYBE OUT DATED, UNDERUSED OR IN NEED OF A FRESH START. THAT AREA IS DESIGNATED A TIF DISTRICT. IN THE BEGINNING, THE PROPERTY TAXES ARE ASSESSED AT CURRENT USE. THEN THE CITY STEPS IN BY MAKING DIRECT IMPROVEMENTS OR BY ENCOURAGING PRIVATE DEVELOPERS TO INVEST IN NEW HOUSING, RETAIL, OR INDUSTRIAL SPACES. AS THE AREA IMPROVES, PROPERTY VALUES RISE AND SO DO THE PROPERTY TAXES.

BUT INSTEAD OF THAT ADDITIONAL TAX REVENUE GOING TOWARDS THE LEVIES, THE INCREASE CALLED THE INCREMENT IS SET ASIDE IN A SPECIAL FUND. THAT FUND IS FEN USED TO REIMBURSE THE CITY OR DEVELOPER FOR THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT HELPED SPARK THE GROWTH. THIS FUND IS USED TO PLAY FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

THINGS LIKE NEW STREETS, SIDEWALKS, LIGHTING, WATER, AND SEWER LINES, FIRE STATIONS, POLICE STATIONS, CITY BUILDINGS, AND PARKS. IN OTHER WORDS, THE INCREASED PROPERTY VALUE HELPS FUND THE UPGRADES THAT MADE THE GROWTH POSSIBLE ALONG WITH OTHER BENEFICIAL PUBLIC PROJECTS THAT SUPPORT THE TIF DISTRICT. IT DOES WANT RAISE YOUR TAXES. IT USES THE INCREMENT CHANGE OF REVENUE FROM THE AREA TO INVEST IN THE CITY. IN HUBER HEIGHTS, TIFS ARE NOT SCHOOL. THE MIAMI VALLEY AND CAREER TECHNOLOGY

[00:05:01]

SO AGAIN, JUST A COUPLE OF THE INFORMATION PIECES WE ARE TRYING TO PUT OUT TO OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM AND THROUGH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. SO YOU WILL SEE THAT. WE ARE WORKING CURRENTLY ON THE NEXT ONE. I BELIEVE THE NCA SHOULD BE OUT NEXT MONTH? YEAH. A LITTLE MORE EXPLANATION ON WHAT IS GOING ON, AND THEN THE CRA. THE NEXT SLIDE HERE IS REALLY IMPORTANT. WE HAVE STOOD UP THIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANT PROGRAM SO THAT'S GOING TO START, THIS GRANT WINDOW, WE ARE BRINGING IT UP NOW SO PEOPLE ARE AWARE. ON THE 18TH OF AUGUST IS WHEN THAT OPENS. WE WILL HAVE 125,000 IN GRANTS THIS YEAR, BROKEN INTO THESE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES. THERE WILL BE $50,000 USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANOTHER GRANT PROGRAM. FOR INSTANCE, IF THEY GOT MONEY FROM STATE GRANT OR COUNTY GRANT, THEY CAN PUT THIS TOWARDS BOTH POTS AND HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS. $25,000 FOR SMALL BUSINESSES OR NONPROFITS. $25,000 FOR VETERAN OWNED BUSINESSES, AND $25,000 FOR MINORITY AND WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES. THE REVIEW BOARD WILL BE DR. AIKENS, MYSELF, AND I THINK -- WHO WAS IN THE MEETING? ALEX AND JASON? YEAH, THAT WILL CLOSE IN OCTOBER. WE HOPE TO AWARD THAT BY THE END OF THE YEAR. FLUSHING IS ONGOING. THEY ARE IN THE SAME AREA AS THEY WERE LAST WEEK. THEY ARE STILL SOUTH OF TAYLORSVILLE. AS TONIGHT BECAUSE TOMORROW IS NATIONAL NIGHT OUT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. WE INVITE EVERYONE TO COME OUT FWEEN BETWEEN 6:00 AND 8:00. WE HAVE A TON OF VENDORS. LAST YEAR IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST EVENTS WE HAD SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO BUILDING ON THAT SUCCESS. ON WEDNESDAY, WE WILL HAVE OUR FIRST CUPS AND CONVERSATION, EITHER GOOD OR BAD, THE MAYOR AND I ARE THE FIRST TWO SPEAKERS. SO YOU WILL GET TO COME OUT AND AGAIN JUST HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH THE MAYOR AND MYSELF ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. WE BROUGHT THIS UP LAST WEEK BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO JUST GIVE THIS UPDATE THAT THE NEW STOP SIGN AT RUSTIC WOODS WILL BE IN EFFECT ON AUGUST 29. AND THEN COMING SOON, IS OUR FALL VERSION OF THE GARAGE SALE, COMMUNITY GARAGE SALE. SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE, THERE IS A LINK ON OUR WEBSITE, ONE OF THE FACEBOOK PAGE, A DIGITAL FORM YOU CAN FILL OUT AND YOU CAN COME IN HERE AS WELL OR CALL THE NUMBER AND THOSE SIGN UPS NEED TO BE BEFORE 5:00 P.M. ON THE 8TH AND WE WILL PUT THOSE OUT IN PAPER FORM AND ON THE WEBSITE. ANY QUESTIONS?

>> AWESOME, THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS?

>> SO LAST YEAR, WE HAD 30 BUSINESSES, THIS YEAR 24. HOW

MANY DID WE LOSE? >> I DON'T KNOW, I'LL LET YOU

KNOW. OKAY. >> YOU ARE RIGHT, IS A FLUID NUMBER BECAUSE WE HAVE BUSINESSES MOVE OUT OR CLOSE. I

WILL FIND OUT WHAT THAT IS. >> THANK YOU.

[ Citizens Water And Sewer Advisory Board Update]

>> YES, MA'AM. >> ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. THANKS, JOHN. NEXT UP IS ITEM 3B, WATER SEWAGE ADVISORY BOARD. WE HAVE SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD HERE TONIGHT TO MAKE A PRESENTATION. I THINK CURRENT CHAIR SAM ROBINSON WILL BE LEADING THAT AND LISA IS ALSO HERE.

>> GOOD EVENING, I'M THE CHAIR OF THE CITIZENS WATER AND SEWER ADVISORY BOARD. WITH ME IS LISA JETER. I WILL FOLLOW THE SAME FORMAT THAT I USED LAST YEAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS RELATIVELY SELF EXPLANATORY AND HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERED YOUR QUESTIONS YOU HAD BEFOREHAND. I DID UPDATE A COUPLEAL OF THINGS THAT DID OCCUR FROM LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR. THE FIRST THING IS WITH REGARD TO OUR COMPOSITION, PLEASED TO SAY THAT LISA JETER WHO IS WITH ME RIGHT HERE WAS REAPPOINTED TO THE VACANCY -- TO

[00:10:03]

WE MEET HERE -- WELL, BEHIND YOU IN THE COUNCIL CONFERENCE ROOM, NEXT SLIDE. THESE ARE THE INDIVIDUALS WITH WHOM WE DEAL HERE IN HUBER HEIGHTS. AND PARTICULAR, OUR LIAISON IS WEST BURGLAND. OUR AGENDA INCLUDES THE TYPICAL MINUTES, STAFF REPORT, THE BL REPORT. THE STATISTICS YOU WILL SEE IN THE ANNUAL REPORT THAT PRESENTS TO YOU ONCE A YEAR TYPICALLY IN LATE SPRING AND THEN MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS THEY PRESENT TO THE BOARD THAT WE DISCUSS DURING OUR MEETING. NEXT SLIDE? THIS SLIDE PRESENTS THE BACKGROUND OF WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO, THE SIX ITEMS A THROUGH F. AND WE DON'T COVER THEM SPECIFICALLY BUT WE DO TALK ABOUT THEM IN SOME FORM THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. JUST AS A CROSS REFERENCE OF WHAT WE DO, YOU CAN FIND OUR DUTIES IN THE CODE OF ORDINANCE. THIS SLIDE PRESENTS THAT INFORMATION. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. I WANTED TO POINT OUT IN THE RED THAT THE CITY MANAGER MAY MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT FOR LEAKAGE AND UNDERGROUND WATER SERVICE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. I POINT THAT OUT BECAUSE BASICALLY THE CASE BY CASE BASIS IS FOR US, ALL OF THE TIME WHEN THERE IS A QUESTION ALONG THOSE LINES, THEY REFER TO THE BOARD.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE? SO WHAT WE USE TO DETERMINE THAT IS FOUND HERE. I POINT OUT RESOLUTION 96R-1797. IT IS A 1996 RESOLUTION THAT WE STILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED TO UPDATE IT BUT THAT'S WHAT WE USE TO MAKE OUR DETERMINATION. IT WAS APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL YEARS AGO. PARTICULARLY, WE LOOK AT EXHIBIT A WHICH IS WATER AND SEWAGE ADJUSTMENT POLICY, ADDRESSES GENERAL POLICY, ADJUSTMENT FOR LEAKS AND ANY IS IT SATISFIED CUSTOMERS ARE REFERRED TO THE BOARD WHICH IS ABOUT 100% OF THE TIME, DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS GET REFERRED TO THE BOARD. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THESE ARE SOME OBSERVATIONS FROM THIS PAST YEAR . WE WERE -- WE HAD TO CANCEL TWO MEETINGS ON MAY 19 AND JULY 21 DUE TO A LACK OF A QUORUM. THERE WILL BE NO MEETING IN JANUARY DUE TO A LACK OF A MEETING ROOM. IN THE PAST WE MET IN THE POLICE COMMUNITY CENTER, THERE WAS A ROOM AVAILABLE BUT THAT GOT TAKEN OVER BY OTHER NEEDS. SO WE HAVE BEEN MEETING HERE. BUT THAT THIRD MONDAY IS MARTIN LUTHER KING WEEKEND SO WE MOVED TO THAT TUESDAY BUT THAT'S WHEN THE COUNCIL MEETS.

SO WE JUST DECIDED NOT TO HAVE A MEETING IN JANUARY. WE WILL NOW BE MEETING INSTEAD OF SIX TIMES A YEAR, FIVE TIMES A YEAR. WE DID HOLD MEETINGS SINCE THIS TIME LAST YEAR ON SEPTEMBER 16, AND FEBRUARY 18, AND MARCH 17. WE ADDRESSED CUSTOMER BILLING COMPLAINTS, THERE WAS ONE ON MARCH 17. LAST YEAR BY COMPARISON THE BOARD HANDLED 3. SO WE HANDLED ONE MORE THIS YEAR THAN LAST YEAR. THE CITY HOSTS THE ANNUAL VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION APPRECIATION DINNER, THAT WAS APRIL 23. WE WANT TO THANK THE CITY FOR HOSTING IT. I WAS UNABLE TO GET A HEAD COUNT BUT I BELIEVE MOST OF THE BOARD MEMBERS WERE PRESENT AT THAT DINNER. I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THAT, THAT WE HAD A VERY GOOD TURNOUT FROM THE BOARD. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. AS CHAIR PERSON OF THE WATER AND SEWER ADVISORY BOARD I ATTENDED THE CHARTER REVIEW INFORMATION SESSION. I WAS THERE TO SEE THE COMMISSION WAS RECOMMENDING WITH REGARD TO THE CHARTECTION 9.07, REMOVAL OF THE BORDER COMMISSION MEMBER. THAT BASICALLY ADDRESSED WHETHER OR NOT A BOARD MEMBER IF THEY WERE ABSENT, HAD UNEXCUSED ABSENCES FOR THREE OR MORE MEETINGS THAT

[00:15:03]

I WANT TO POINT OUT THE EXPERTISE OF SOME OF THE OTHER MEMBERS ON THE BOARD. ONE INDIVIDUAL HAS A LOT OF BACKGROUND WITH STORMWATER MANAGEMENT. ANOTHER WITH REGARD TO HOW EQUIPMENT OPERATES. HE CAN TALK ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT DETAILS WITH OUR POINT OF CONTACT. SO THAT'S KIND OF WAY OVER MY HEAD THEY REALLY GET INTO THE EQUIPMENT DETAILS. WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE A BROAD ARRAY OF EXPERTISE HERE ON THE BOARD, AND TO MAKE -- AND THOSE INFORM THE DISCUSSIONS AND DECISIONS WE MAY MAKE. ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD, I WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO YOU SYNOPSIS OF THE BORD'S ACTIVITIES THIS YEAR. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

>> SAM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE WILL OPEN IT UP. DOES ANYONE

HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YES? >> YOU MENTIONED YOUR INTERFACING WITH THE CUSTOMERS REGARDING BILLING COMPLAINTS.

JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, WHAT IS A TYPICAL BILLING COMPLAINT? IS IT RATE OR USAGE OR WHAT ARE THEY COMING TO YOU FOR?

>> IT IS MOSTLY USAGE. THEY MAY LEAVE -- LIKE ONE WE HAD AN

[00:20:02]

SHE IS WELL AWARE OF THE INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO COMMIT VANDALISM. THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF ONE. HER RATE HAD GONE WAY UP AS WELL BECAUSE OF THE WATER LEAKAGE TO THE

VANDALISM. >> I THINK IT IS GREAT THAT CITIZENS HAVE A PLACE WHERE OTHER CITIZENS CAN LISTEN TO THEIR COMPLAINT AND MAKE AN EVALUATION. OUTSTANDING JOB.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> I THINK -- I HAD A LEAKY TOILET. I DON'T THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE HOW MUCH MONEY THAT CAN COST IF YOU DON'T FIGURE IT OUT AND GET IT FIXED. SO YEAH, I WAS -- I CAME TO YOU GUYS WHEN I GOT THAT BILL AND I WAS LIKE WHOA. I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE A LEAK SOMEWHERE AND SURE ENOUGH, IT WAS A TOILET THAT WAS RUNNING UPSTAIRS. BUT YEAH, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE WHAT THAT CAN COST IF YOU HAVE A TOILET RUNNING ALL THE TIME. SCOTT,

QUESTION? >> FIRST, I WANT TO THANK YOU AND THE REST OF THE BOARD FOR SERVING ON THE BOARD. AND ALSO, I WAS PRETTY SED THAT YOU ARE GOING OUTSIDE THE BOX LOOKING AT OTHER, YOU KNOW, OPPORTUNITIES, MORE RESEARCH, NOT JUST SITTING ON THE BOARD LISTENING TO SOMEONE, DOING EXTRA LEGWORK. SO I WANT TO APPLAUD YOU FOR THAT. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU MR. ROBINSON, AND THE EPA EXPERT. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT PFAS. YOU MENTIONED SOME OF THEG FOR PFAS IN HUBER HEIGHTS AT ALL, DO YOU KNOW?

>> TYPICALLY, I BELIEVE IT IS TESTED AT THE WATER PLANT. WE HAVE NEVER REALLY HAD ANY ISSUES WITH PFAS.

>> THANK YOU. I'M NOT AN EXPERT EITHER BUT WHERE DO THOSE THINGS COME FROM? IS IT FROM RECYCLED OR THINGS GETTING IN THE WATER,

PLASTICS BREAKING DOWN? >>

>> COULD YOU SPEAK UP? WE ARE RECORDING.

>> SO BASICALLY IT HAS BECOME U BIQUITOUS IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

THEY ARE THINGS THAT ARE COATED IN YOUR CLOTHING, SOMETIMES COATING YOUR PANS IN THE KITCHEN. IT BECAME RELEASED IN THE ENVIRONMENT A VERY LONG TIME AGO. IT DEVELOPED IN THE 40S. IT HAS BECOME WIDESPREAD AND IT REACHED INTO WATER SOURCES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES IN MANY PLACES. NOW WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DEAL WITH IT AND HOW TO REMOVE IT FROM THE

ENVIRONMENT. >> I WAS DOING RESEARCH WITH A GROUP OF STUDENTS AND THEY CALLED IT FOREVER CHEMICALS OR

SOMETHING LIKE THAT. >> EXACTLY, EXACTLY. IT IS FOREVER IN OUR BODIES, UNFORTUNATELY.

>> ALSO AROUND HERE, A LOT OF PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN TRACED TO THE AIR FORCE BASE. WE ARE UPSTREAM OF THAT, SO WE ARE LUCKY. DAYTON HAS TO WORRY ABOUT IT. I BELIEVE A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, WE WERE LOOKING AT CONNECTING TO THE CITY OF DAYTON AS AN EMERGENCY BACKUP IF WE NEEDED TO, IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH OUR WELLS HERE. AND THE COUNCIL DECIDED NOT TO DO THAT BECAUSE DAYTON'S WATER COULD BE CONTAMINATED WITH PFAS.

>> WHICH THEY ARE MONITORING. >> THE CITY DID NOT WANT TO TAKE

THAT RISK. >> I BELIEVE THAT DISCUSSION

VERY WELL, YEAH. >> THANK YOU.

>> I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT OUR SOFTENING FILTERS THAT WE HAVE WILL TAKE OUT ANY PFAS IF THERE IS ANY THERE WHICH I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY REALLY SHOWING UP OUT OF THE WELLS.

>> THANK YOU, GOOD STUFF. ANYONE ELSE? OKAY, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR

[ Leaf Collection Vacuum Truck Purchase]

[00:25:10]

BEING HERE. >> THANK YOU.

>> NEXT UP IS ITEM 3C, LEAF COLLECTION VACUUM TRUCK

PURCHASE. HOW IS IT GOING? >> GOOD, HOW ARE YOU DOING? APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. BASICALLY, THIS IS A PURCHASE OF A NEW LEAF COLLECTION VACUUM, THE ONE THIS IS REPLACING IS ABOUT 22 YEARS OLD. IT IS A FOUR MAN UNIT. THIS WILL BE PURCHASING IF DECIDED ON TONIGHT IS A ONE MAN UNIT. SO THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT IS WHAT YOU GET FOR WHAT TAKES TWO OR THREE PEOPLE, IT JUST TAKES ONE. WE PURCHASED TWO OTHER ONES IN THE PAST. THEY HAVE BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL TO US IN TERMS OF RETURN ON INVESTMENT IN TERMS OF ABLENESS TO HAVE PEOPLE DO OTHER THINGS. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT.

>> SO WHAT IS THE TIME FRAME ON THIS? I THINK THAT IS THE BIG THING. AREN'T WE PURCHASING KNOWING HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET

THESE THINGS? >> LUCKILY, AND SOME OF THE C.I.P. THINGS HAVE BEEN MOVED AROUND SO YOU ARE AWARE, SOME OF THESE I'M HAVING TO MOVE AROUND BECAUSE BASICALLY WITH SOME SNOW PLOW TRUCKS, THE LAST TRUCKS WERE ORDERED IN OCTOBER OF 2023, AND NOW THE BILL DATE ON THEM IS SEPTEMBER THIS YEAR. SO WE PROBABLY WON'T SEE THOSE. SO I'M TRYING -- I KNOW THERE ARE THREE AVAILABLE NOW WITH THESE TRUCKS. SO BASICALLY, WE WOULD HAVE THEM THIS UPCOMING LEASE SEASON.

>> UNRELATED, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE NEW BUILDING YOU GOT? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CHECKED THAT OUT? EVERY DAY?

>> YEAH. IT IS COMING LONG, PRETTY COOL.

>> GOOD DEAL. ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. I THOUGHT YOU WERE

POINTING. GO AHEAD. >> DO WE HAVE ENOUGH LEAF VACUUM TRUCKS NOW TO SERVICE WHAT WE NEED FOR HUBER HEIGHTS?

>> CURRENTLY AT THIS TIME, YES. THE ONE THAT THIS WILL BE

REPLACING IS 22, 23 YEARS OLD. >> HOW MANY DO WE HAVE IN

ADDITO THAT? >> TWO OTHERS. TWO OTHER ONE MAN

UNITS. >> AND WITH ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON, WOULD THAT BE ENOUGH?

>> FOR THE NEXT, I WOULD SAY 15 YEAR OUTLOOK, DEPENDING ON -- YOU GO TO NEW COMMUNITY 2 YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE TREES AREN'T MATURE ENOUGH, THE HAD HEAVIEST PICKUP MIGHT BE IN THE SOUTH. OR THE NORTH HAS MATURED SO MUCH. AND THEN FURTHER NORTH, SOME OF THOSE WILL BECOME MATURE. IT IS A ROTATING PROCESS. MOTHER NATURE DICTATES HOW TREES GROW.

>> HOW LATE IN THE FALL DO WE PICK UP LEAVES? I REMEMBER AND I LIVE IN -- IT'S KIND OF NEW BUT IT IS ADJACENT TO PART OF THE CITY THAT IS NOT WHERE ALL OF THE LEAVES WERE BLOWING. I'M SEEING LATE IN THE SEASON. HOW LATE ARE WE PICKING UP HEAVES,

LIKE NOVEMBER? >> LIKE, I HAVE BEEN THROUGH -- I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY LEAF SEASONS, 34 MAYBE. I REMEMBER PICKING UP LEAVES IN FEBRUARY AT TIMES.

>> OH, WOW. >> MOTHER NATURE DETERMINES THOSE FACTORS. I ALWAYS LIKE TO TELL CITIZENS, DON'T WORRY, IT

WILL GET PICKED UP. >> OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MIKE SAYS DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. >> IT MAY NOT BE THE TIME FRAME THAT THEY WERE EXPECTING BECAUSE IF YOU GET 12 INCHES OF SNOW,

YOU ARE NOT PICKING UP LEAVES. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANY

[ Supplemental Appropriations]

APPROPRIATIONS. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. WE HAVE QUITE A LONG LIST TONIGHT BUT NOT A LOT IN TOTAL DOLLARS. THE REASON FOR THIS IS I TRY AND MATCH THEM AND BRING THEM TO YOU ALL AT ONCE AND NOT TRY TO BRING THEM TO YOU AT EVERY MEETING. SO WE GOT SOME THINGS HERE. LEADING OFF IS $275,000, RETURN OF EDGE GRANT. THE WAY THAT EDGE GRANTS WORK, WE PAY THE LOCAL BUSINESS THAT HAS BEEN GRANTED AN EDGE GRANT FROM THE COUNTY. THEY SUBMIT THEIR APPROPRIATE EXPENSES. WE LOOK THAT OVER AND MAKE SURE IT MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE COUNTY AND WHAT THEY HAVE SET UP THE GRANT FOR. SO WE PAY THEM INITIALLY AND THEN WE SUBMIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO THE COUNTY. SO

[00:30:04]

[00:35:02]

>> THANK YOU. ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

>> SO WHAT DID YOU SAY WAS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE OHIO OPIOID

--. >> THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT HAS COME IN AS FAR AS REVENUE THAT IS AVAILABLE TO SPEND IS ABOUT

125,000 TO $135,000. >> THAT'S -- IS THERE ANY OF THAT MONEY THAT CAN BE USED TOWARDS -- I DON'T KNOW, PROGRAMMING OR SOMETHING TO HELP KIDS OR PREVENTIVE STUFF OR OTHER PURPOSES BESIDES JUST WHAT YOU ARE SAYING?

>> WE HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT. SO LIKE D.A.R.E. PROGRAMS, THINGS LIKE THAT WOULD QUALIFY, ANYTHING THAT -- I DON'T KNOW.

JOHN, DO YOU KNOW OF A PARTICULAR LIST? I'M NOT SURE OF A LIST THAT IS APPROVED EXPENSES LIKE WE HAD WITH THE AARPA FUNDS. WE CAN LOOK FURTHER THAT TO SEE IF THERE IS OTHER PROGRAMS. RIGHT NOW, THE BEST SOURCE WITH THE MOST DOLLARS TO USE IS TRAINING AND RELATED TO CANINE PROGRAM.

>> HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU ANTICIPATE IN GETTING?

>> THIS IS JUST THE START. WE HAVE BEEN COLLECTING FOR THE LAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS. SO IN FACT, I BELIEVE THERE IS A NEW DOLLARS ARE COMING IN, I'VE JUST HEARD THAT, I DON'T KNOW IF I SAW THAT ON THE LEGISLATIVE BULLETIN BUT WE MAY NEED TO BRING THAT BACK TO COUNCIL TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT. THE ONES WE ARE GETTING NOW ARE FROM WALL ADMINISTER WALMART AND TARGET, SOME OF PHARMACEUTICAL FARM SUIT COMPANIES.

>> I KNOW KROEG IS LOOKING TO DISTRIBUTE AND OHIO HAS A LOT MORE PHARMACIES SO THEY WILL GET A LARGE CHUNK OF THE MONEY. SO THERE WILL BE A LOT COMING IN. IF WE COULD GET CREATIVE AS TO HOW WE COULD USE THOSE FUNDS TO SERVE AS PREVENTIVES OR HELP KIDS THAT ARE IN SITUATIONS WHERE THEY ARE IN A HOME THAT HAS ISSUES AND STUFF LIKE THAT, FOR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMMING OR SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT WE ARE DOING, THAT WOULD I THINK GO A

LONG WAY FOR THIS COMMUNITY. >> YEAH, I'D AGREE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE JUST -- LIKE A LIST OF THE APPROVED EXPENSES ARE.

AND THEN ONCE WE HAVE THAT, COUNCIL CAN LOOK AT THAT, MAKE THAT A WORK SESSION AND SEE WHAT SOME EXISTING PROGRAMS ARE, WHAT SOME APPROVED EXPENSES ARE AND HOW WE WANT TO DICTATE WHERE

THAT MONEY GOES. >> NOT THAT I DON'T WANT TO

FEED THE NE, BUT. >> THAT'S RIGHT. WE DON'T NEED

THAT RIVER. >> I WANT TO FEED THE DOGS. I'M ALL ABOUT DOGS BUT I THINK WITH THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY, WE COULD

GET CREATIVE. >> I THINK ONCE WE KNOW WHAT THE LIST OF APPROVED EXPENSES ARE, WE CAN MAKE SOME OF THOSE DECISIONS. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. ANY OBJECTION TO THE

[ Advances/Transfers - Finance Department]

>> YES, OCCASIONALLY FROM YEAR TO YEAR, I BRING TO YOU ITEMS THAT WERE PREVIOUS ADVANCE THAT NEED TO BE TURNED INTO A TRANSFER. WHAT I PUT IN YOUR PACKET, THIS WAS FROM THE FISHBURG ROAD WIDENING PROJECT. AS YOU KNOW, BEFORE WE GET THE ISSUE TO FUNDING, A LOT OF TIMES WE WILL ADVANCE MONEY FROM THE GENERAL FUND OR SOME OTHER FUNDS. WE NEED TO MAKE THAT ADVANCE INTO A PERMANENT TRANSFER BECAUSE THE GRANT MONEY, MAYBE IT WAS ESTIMATED TO COME IN AT A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND

[00:40:03]

RECLASSIFIED. >> OKAY. GOOD EXPLANATION. ANY

QUESTIONS? YES? >> ANY RUSH OPTHIS?

>> NO. THIS IS AN ORDINANCE BUT IT COULD RECEIVE TWO READINGS.

SO NO, IT'S ONE OF THOSE I BRING TO YOU AS KIND OF A CLEANUP. IT IS AN ADVANCE THAT HAS BEEN HANGING OUT THERE AND LET'S MAKE IT A TRANSFER. I THINK THIS ADVANCE HAPPENED IN 2023 IF I REMEMBER RIGHT. OKAY, THANKS. ANYTHING ELSE? SCOTT?

>> JIM, IN THE PACKET IT IS ASKING FOR EMERGENCY IT DOES SAY EMERGENCY ON THERE. I THINK COUNCIL HAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED IT AS AN EMERGENCY AND JUST GOT IT OFF YOUR DOCKET SO TO SPEAK.

BUT WE COULD REMOVE THAT LANGUAGE.

>> I JUST WANTED CLARIFICATION THERE.

>> THAT'S RIGHT. I'M SURE IF YOU DIDN'T CLARIFY IT, TONY WOULD HAVE. BUT THEN AGAIN, IF IT HAS AN EMERGENCY CLAUSE, THAT JUST MEANS IT GOES INTO EFFECT RIGHT AWAY. YOU CAN HAVE TWO

READINGS. >> YOU HAVE TWO READINGS AND IT WOULDN'T BE AN ADDITIONAL 30 DAYS FROM THE EFFECTIVE READING.

>> RIGHT, RIGHT. >> THANK YOU.

>> SO ANY OBJECTION TO HAVING TWO READINGS AS AN EMERGENCY SO IT GOES INTO EFFECT ONCE THE SECOND READING HAPPENS? WE WILL DO LEGISLATION ON THAT ONE. OKAY. WE WILL MOVE THAT ON.

[ Case BDP 25-16 - Rockford Homes - Rezoning/Basic Development Plan - 4460 Fishburg Road]

>> THANK YOU. >> NEXT IS ITEM 3F, CASE BDB20, FOR A DEVELOPMENT PLAN AT CHAMBERS ROAD.

>> THIS IS A REZONING AND BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN. IT IS A PROPOSED 104 UNIT SUBDIVISION ON 38, ALMOST 39 ACRES. THE DEVELOPER ROCKFORD HOMES ARE ARE HERE TODAY. THIS IS THE SITE OFF OF FISHBURG RGS OUTLINED IN YELLOW. THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE LAST DEVELOPABLE SITES REALLY IN THIS SORT OF AREA OF TOWN, ABSENT THE FARM THAT IS FURTHER SOUTH ON OLD TROY LAKE.

FROM A UTILITY PERSPECTIVE AND ALSO A FLOODING PERSPECTIVE.

THIS IS A MIXTURE OF 50-FOOT AND 60 FOOT WIDE LOTS, VERY SIMILAR LAYOUT TO LEXINGTON PLACE TO THE NORTH. THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL GRATING. THERE IS A BLUFF ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE SITE THAT FEEDS INTO A STREAM, ONE OF OUR MAIN DRAINAGE STREAMS. THERE WILL BE SOME SUBSTANTIAL GRATING THAT WILL OCCUR ON THE WEST SIDE THAT WOULD ALLEVIATE SOME FLOODING ISSUES THAT THE RESIDENTS ALONG ENDICATE SOMETIMES HAVE. THIS SHOWS WATER TO THE SOUTHWEST.

THE LARGE RETENTION POND WILL BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE. WE HAVE ASKED FOR THE DEVELOPER, IF THIS MOVES FORWARD TO EXTEND THE EASEMENT WE HAVE ALONG THE CREEK AREA TO ALLOW US TO CLEAR THE CREEK OF ANY KIND OF DEBRIS OR BLOCKAGE THAT COULD OCCUR FROM ISSUES FURTHER UP STREAM. THERE ARE ALSO THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD REQUIRE NEW LIFT STATION. SO WE WOULD HAVE ACCESS FROM THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY OR PUBLIC EASEMENT FROM THE LIFT STATION TO THE CREEK. RIGHT NOW, IF WE HAVE TO GO THERE, WE ARE WALKING THROUGH THE FIELD OR SOMEBODY'S BACK YARD. THIS IS THE GRATING OVERALL. THESE ARE SOME RENDERINGS SUBMITTED BY THE DEVELOPER. THEY ARE ALL SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. THIS IS JUST A MIXTURE OF LOT SIZES, AGAIN, 50 AND 60 FOOT LOTS, TOTAL OF 104.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE THIS REZONING AND BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN. THERE WERE SOME NEIGHBORS WHO OBJECTED THAT WERE AT THE MEETING. I ANTICIPATE THEY WILL BE AT THE PUBLIC HEARING. THERE WERE FOUR CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL THAT WE PLACED ON THE ORDINANCE, ONE THAT THEY WILL COMPLOY WITH ALL FIRE DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS, THAT THE APPLICANT CONSTRUCT A 6 FOOT SIDEWALK ALONG FISHBURG WHICH IS LARGER THAN THE 5 THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED. I

[00:45:02]

>> THANKS. SO WE WILL OPEN UP ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?

>> IT WILL BE A MUCH LONGER PRESENTATION FOR THE PUBLIC

HEARING. >> ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE DEVELOPER SINCE THEY ARE HERE?

>> MY ONLY CONCERN IS WE JUST FINISHED LEXINGTON PLACE. WE JUST FINISHED QUAIL RIDGE. WE ARE DOING CANAL CREEK NOW, CREEK STONE, YOU ARE GETTING FOUR BIG DEVELOPMENTS AND WE HAVE NO RECREATIONAL PLAYGROUNDS OR ANYTHING FOR THOSE FOUR DEVELOPMENTS. HAS THERE BEEN ANY THOUGHT OF TRYING TO GET A PARK OR ANYTHING FOR THESE FOUR DEVELOPMENTS?

>> THERE ARE A COUPLE. YOU HAVE ENDICATE, AT THE END, YOU HAVE CANAL PARK. AS FAR AS CANAL HEIGHTS, ONE OF THE STIPULATIONS IS THEY DEDICATING AROUND 90 ACRES TO US FOR PARKLAND, BOTH FOUR ACRES ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF THE STREET ON CHAMBERSBURG WHICH WILL BE AN ACTIVE PLAY AREA. AND THEN THE PERIMETER OF CANAL HEIGHTS WILL BE WALKING TRAILS AND NATURAL PATHWAYS. WE HAVE TRIED TO MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THIS FAR WEST SIDE OF THE CITY. BUT I WOULD AGREE THAT THIS AREA BETWEEN FISHBURG, OUTSIDE OF SOCCER IS UNDERPARKED. BUT I THINK THE IT'S A LITTLE FURTHER REMOVED BUT THE CITY DOES TAPER THE PLANS WE HAVE FOR CLOUD PARK WILL ALSO HELP SATISFY THIS. BUT TO YOUR POINT, CANAL HEIGHTS DOES HAVE LAND THAT WILL BE DEDICATED AT THE END OF THE PROJECT.

>> AND ARE WE LOOKING AT PLAYGROUNDS? .

>> YES. >> OKAY. BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN GETTING CALLS, BEING IN THAT WARD, DEFINITELY WELCOME SOMETHING MORE. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

>> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU DID HAVE SOME COMPLAINTS FROM CITIZENS AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. CAN YOU GIVE US AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE COMPLAINTS WERE ABOUT?

>> SO THE SPECIFIC CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED WERE BY SOME OF THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVE ON ENDICATE WHOSE PROPERTY BACKS UP TO THIS.

THE SPECIFIC CONCERN WAS ABOUT THE NEW CHILDREN THAT WOULD BE APART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT AND THEM GETTING INTO THEIR WOODS, SO TO SPEAK. THERE WAS THE GENERAL CONCERNS THAT WE GET OVER JUST DEVELOPMENT AND TRAFFIC. I WOULD SAY THE SPECIFIC CONCERN AND ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OR REQUESTS BY ONE OF THE RESIDENTS WAS A FENCE ALONG THE WEST PERIMETER, WEST SIDE OF THE -- IT'S ABOUT 1500 FEET, A LONG RUN. I WOULD RECOMMEND AGAINST THAT. THERE IS A 50-FOOT BUFFER THAT THE DEVELOPER IS PROPOSING ON THE WEST SIDE. THAT ALSO BECOMES AN ORPHAN FENCE. IT BECOMES THE RESPONSIBILITY AT THE END OF THE DAY OF THE H.O.A. IT HAS A POSSIBILITY TO INTERFERE WITH THE WEST SIDE DRAINAGE. THE WAY IT IS GRATED, THERE IS A SWALE THAT WILL RUN ON THE ENTIRE WEST SIDE DIRECTING STORM WATER AWAY FROM THOSE INDIVIDUALS' PROPERTY. I DON'T THINK A FENCE IS WARRANTED. WE ARE BUILDING NEIGHBORHOODS, NOT COMPOUNDS.

KIDS ARE KIDS. IF THEY WANT TO GET AROUND A FENCE, THEY WILL

GET AROUND THE FENCE. >> JUST ONE FOLLOW-UP THEN, I KNOW WE WILL GET MORE DETAIL WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING, IS THIS GOING TO BE PHASED IN OR WILL THIS BE THE INFRASTRUCTURE GOING

IN AND BUILD AS WE GO? >> SO IT'S 104 UNITS. I WOULD IMAGINE IT WOULD BE BUILT ONE AT A TIME. PROBABLY STARTING FROM THE NORTH TO THE SOUTH. THE WAY THAT THE STORM WATER DRAINAGE IS GOING TO WORK, IT KIND OF ALL NEEDS TO BE BUILTAT THE SAME

TIME. THANK YOU. >> IT'S NOT A LARGE

SUBDIVISION. >> ANY OTHER PUBLIC

[00:50:05]

IMPROVEMENTS? >> FISHBURG WILL BE WIDENED TO OUR STANDARD, CURBS, GUTTERS, SIDEWALKS AT 6 FEET. THERE IS A 30 FOOT LANDSCAPING BUFFER THAT IS ALONG FISHBURG THAT ALSO PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR IF WE, IN THE FUTURE WANT TO MAKE A LARGER SIDEWALK OR BIKE PATH. THERE IS PUBLIC EASEMENT OPPORTUNITIES E TO DO THAT. BUT WE HAVEN'T -- WE HAVE NOT DESIGNED ANYTHING ON FISHBURG YET. I DIDN'T WANT NECESSARILY THE IMPROVEMENT IN CASE WE DECIDE TO DO IT ON THE NORTH SIDE. WE ARE STILL WORKING THE DETAILS OUT AS AN OVERALL ACTIVE

TRANSPORTATION PLAN. >> THANK YOU. YES?

>> IS THIS GOING TO BE MORE THAN 100 UNITS IN THERE? IS THERE A SECOND ENTRANCE? THERE IS AN EMERGENCY ENTRANCE KIND OF ON THE TAIL OF THE CUL-DE-SAC THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS

APPROVED. >> OKAY, THANK YOU.

>> ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. ANY OBJECTIONS FOR MOVING THIS ON TO PUBLIC HEARING AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING? OKAY. PUBLIC HEARING ON MONDAY. OKAY, THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.

[ Electric Governmental Aggregation - Plan Of Operation And Governance]

>> NEXT IS ITEM 3G, THE ELECTRIC GOVERNMENT AGGREGATION, PLAN OF

OPERATION AND GOVERNANCE. >> YES, SIR. THIS IS AN ORDINANCE THAT BASICALLY SETS THE, AS IT IS TITLED, THE PLAN OF OPERATION AND GOVERNANCE. IT OUTLINES HOW WE WILL RUN THE PROGRAM CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER MEMBERS OF SOPECK. IT IS PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD ON WHAT ALL OF THE OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE ADOPTED, THIS SAME PLAN OF OPERATION AND GOVERNANCE. WE WOULD LIKE TO WAIVE THE SECOND READING BECAUSE THIS PASSES ON THE 11TH, WE WILL INDUCE PRICING ON THE 12TH AND 13TH. SO THIS DOES NEED TO GO INTO EFFECT. DOESN'T NEED TO BE AN EMERGENCY

BUT IT DOES NEED TO PASS. >> OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? SCOTT?

>> DO WE KNOW WHAT THE PRICING WILL BE RIGHT NOW?

>> I HAVE A GOOD GUESS AND RANGE IN MY MIND BUT I DON'T WANT TO

SAY IT IN CASE I'M WRONG. .A >> OKAY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

>> ANYONE ELSE? OKAY. THAT IS GOOD. I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOKING FOR RELIEF. I HAVE BEEN YIELDING EMAILS AND MESSAGES ABOUT PRICES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

>> MAYOR? >> YES?

>> WE WILL HAVE APPLES AND ORANGES COMPARATIVE IN CLASS? COULD THAT BE THOUGHT OF WHEN WE FIGURE OUT THE RATE?

>> YES. IT WILL BE LOWER THAN THE STANDARD SERVICE OFFER THAT YOU WOULD GET AS SOMEBODY WHO IS NOT IN THE AGGREGATION PROGRAM.

THERE WILL ALSO BE NO FEES FOR ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO OPT OUT AND SHOP AROUND DIFFERENTLY. WE WILL LIKELY LOCK IN PRICES OR RECOMMEND LOCKING IN PRICES FOR 9 MONTHS SO WE CAN GET ON A CYCLE WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES TO ENHANCE OUR BUYING POWER. WE WILL ALSO RECOMMEND THAT WE START TO HEDGE WHICH IS A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED THAN WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT TODAY BUT WE WILL IN A FEW MONTHS. SO BASICALLY, WE WILL BE GUARANTEEING OR BUYING CHUNKS OF ELECTRICITY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WHICH ELIMINATES SOME OF THE BACK END FEES THAT GET CHARGED THROUGH OTHER PROGRAMS. IT'S ANOTHER WAY FOR US TO LOWER OUR RISK AND THE ULTIMATE

COST FOR OUR RESIDENTS. >> I WAS THINKING MAYBE NEXT MONTH COFFEE WITH THE MAYOR, IT WOULD BE HOW TO LOWER YOUR BILL APPLES AND ORANGES, BRING YOUR BILL AND THAT BE AN EDUCATIONAL PIECE OR ANOTHER SNAP SHOT VIDEO.

>> AND WE WILL KNOW WHAT THE PRICING IS BY THE END OF NEXT

WEEK. >> OKAY, THANK YOU.

[ Zoning Code Update - Solicit Bids/Award Contract]

>> ANYTHING ELSE? ANY OBJECTION TO MONDAY? OKAY. NEXT UP IS 3H, ZONING CODE UP DATE AND SOLICITING BIDS AWARD CONTRACT?

>> THIS IS A RESOLUTION THAT WOULD AUTHORIZE US TO ISSUE AN RFP AND AWARD TWO WAY FIRM TO UP LOAD ZONING AND SUBSITION REGULATIONS. I ANTICIPATE THAT THE PROJECT WILL COST ABOUT $100,000. WE DID RECEIVE A $50,000 GRANT FROM THE STATE OF

DONE, RIGHT? >> IT IS.

>> OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR AARON REGARDING THIS? ANY OBJECTIONS

[ Petition - Conformance Of Boundaries/Annexation Agreement - Bethel Township ]

THERE IS A DRAFT ANNEXATION AGREEMENT THAT IS BEING REVIEWED BY BETHEL TOWNSHIP TOMORROW. IT IS BASED ON THE ORIGINAL ONE THAT WAS DISCUSSED THREE OR FOUR YEARS AGO. IT DOES ELIMINATE THE LONGTERM MORATORIUM. SO THIS ANNEXATION AGREEMENT JUST DEALS WITH THE TWO ANNEXATIONS. ONE OF THE 300 ACRES, THE SECOND BEING THE ONE IN PROCESS NOW, THE 7 ACRES WHICH IS THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND TRAILS CARRIAGE PARKWAY. AS PART OF THE CONFORMANCE, WHAT WE ARE ASKING BETHEL TOWNSHIP TO DO IS REMOVE THE TIP OVER LAY WHICH IS OVER CARRIAGE TRAILS TWO. AND THEN ALSO ENTERTAIN THE OPTION OF GIVING US THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL RGS AT LEAST A PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE EMS AND FIRE SERVICES IF BETHEL TOWNSHIP WOULD EVER WANT TO OR CONSIDER CONTRACTING WITH ANOTHER JURISDICTION FOR THOSE SERVICES. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO THROW OUR HAT IN THE RING AS FAR AS GIVING THEM A COMPETITIVE VEHICLE IN PROVIDING

THE SERVES. >> JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING OR WHO MAYBE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT A CONFORMANCE OF BOUNDARY IS, THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT BETHEL HAS ASKED OF US? YES, THEY HAVE ASKED US.

>> SO THIS IS SOMETHING THEY HAVE ASKED US TO DO. BASICALLY WHAT IT DOES IS IT KEEPS -- EVEN THOUGH THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY IS NOW PART OF HUBER HEIGHTS, IT KEEPS IT THE WAY THAT IT IS NOW. SO AS CARRIAGE TRAILS RESIDENTS ARE NOW, THE ONLY VOTING POWER THEY HAVE IS WITHIN THE BETHEL LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT. SO PEOPLE IN CARRIAGE TRAILS, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE IN BETHEL TOWNSHIP, BECAUSE THEY ARE CONFORMED IN THE ORIGINAL CARRIAGE TRAILS, THE RESIDENTS CAN'T VOTE ON TOWNSHIP ISSUES.

THEY CAN'T VOTE ON TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES OR IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD GO THROUGH REFERENDUM, ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO BETHEL HAS ASKED US TO DO THE SAME THIPG WITH CARRIAGE TRAILS TWO AS WITH CARRIAGE TRAILS ONE WHICH KEEPS TOWNSHIP WITH TOWNSHIP AND THOSE WITHIN CARRIAGE TRAILS TO HUBERER HEIGHTS. SO THAT'S WHAT THE CONFORMANCE OF BOUNDARIES IS.

THIS IS SOMETHING THEY HAVE ASKED FOR. THIS IS WHAT OUR RESPONSE IS TO THAT REQUEST ON CONFORMANCE OF BOUNDARIES.

>> CORRECT. >> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE -- I KNOW ANY TIME THE ANNEXATION SHOWS UP ON ANY KIND OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA, IT GETS EARS PERKED. I WANT TO BE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE IS ABOUT. THIS

IS A REQUEST FROM BETHEL. >> YEP.

>> ANY QUESTIONS? ANY OBJECTIONS TO MOVING THIS TO MONDAY?

>> LIKELY BE TWO PIECES OF LEGISLATION TO ACCOMPLISH.

>> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, THEN WE WILL MOVE THAT TO MONDAY. WHETHER IT IS ONE, TWO, HOW MANY NECESSARY TO GET THAT ACCOMPLISHED. OKAY. THERE IS NO REASON FOR AN EXECUTIVE SESSION THIS EVENING. SO
