[ City Manager Report]

CITY MANAGER REPORT. >> WELL DESERVED HONEYMOON BUT GLAD TO BE BACK. SO GET GOING HERE. SO ITEMS HERE. FIST WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE WE HAVE THE NEWSLETTER OUT. SIT A DIGITAL FORM AND WE ARE LOOKING AT WAYS -- WE'VE LISTENED TO THE SURVEY, ALEX AND SARAH BOTH HAVE TRIED TO FIND SOME NEW THINGS FOR US NEXT YEAR TOO, SO WE ARE GOING TO GO NEXT YEAR TO MAILING THE -- MAILING THE NEWSLETTER OUT, BUT FOR NOW, IT'S DIGITAL. IT'S ON THE WEBSITE. I'M TRYING SOMETHING NEW, MR. WEBB, THERE'S A QR CODE, SO IF ANYBODY'S WATCHING, THEY CAN LINK TO OUR WEBSITE. SOME GOOD NEWS, FULL OF GOOD NEWS TONIGHT, REALLY, THE RST EVER OHIO PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT AUDIT WAS DONE ON SITE HERE AT THE CITY. WE RECEIVED REALLY FLYING COLORS, THE FULL SET REVIEW WAS DONE AND COMPLETED. WE ARE FULLY COMPLIANT. YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A COUPLE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THEY BROUGHT UP THAT WE'RE GOING TO BRING TO YOU, REALLY JUST SOME RESOLUTIONS THAT WE NEED TO KIND OF CLEAN UP -- JUST A REAL COLLABORATIVE EFFORT. AGAIN, FIST TIME WE'VE HAD IT ON SITE. NOW THAT THAT'S BEEN DONE, THE FUTURE AUDITS WILL BE DONE REMOTELY. WANT TO GIVE FINANCE STAFF, JIM AND HIS CREW, BIG KUDOS. I MEAN, AGAIN, THEY NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME AT WHAT THEY DO. SO GOOD NEWS FROM OPENERS.

ANOTHER REALLY JUST AMAZING PARTNERSHIP THAT EXISTS IN THE CITY, THIS GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY PURCHASING MS EQUIT AT THE FIRE DIVISION. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE AWARE, BUT FIREHOUSE SUBS HAS A FUND THEY PUT MONEY INTO EVERY YEAR THROUGH ALL THEIR LOCATIONS, AND THERE'S A GRANT PROCESS THAT'S ABLE TO BE APPLIED BY LOCAL FIRST RESPONDERS. WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE, TWO OF OUR CPR MACHINES THAT WE BOUGHT, MAN, 2011 AND MAYBE 2013, WERE FUNDED BY FIREHOUSE SUBS. THOSE WERE T $11,000 EACH. WE WERE AWARDED THIS PAST WEEK $21,000 TO BUY SOME NEW RESCUE EQUIPMENT, WHICH ARE -- STRUTS AND ALL THE ATTACHMENTS THAT GO WITH THAT. SO AGAIN, WANT TO GIVE A SHOUTOUT TO FIREHOUSE SUBS AND THEIR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO PUT BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY. THEY'VE BEEN A GOOD PARTER SINCE THEY'RE BEEN A BUSINESS HERE. SO KUDOS TO THEM. AND KUDOS TO THE FIRE JUST FOR, AGAIN, REACHING OUT AND SEARCHING FOR THESE GRANTS THAT WE CAN GET. POLICE DIVISION, AGAIN, ALSO -- ALWAYS LOOKING FOR UNIQUE WAYS TO GET STUFF AND GARNER STUFF. THE CADETS HAVE LONG BEEN TRYING TO GET SOME WHAT THEY CALL DEFENSE CARRIERS, WAYS TO HAVE THEIR NAME, SOME REFLECTION, THINGS TO CARRY WHILE THEY'RE OUT DOING -- YOU KNOW, YOU'LL SEE THEM AT THE FOURTH OF JULY FESTIVAL PARKING CARS. YOU'LL SEE THEM DOWN AT THE WARRIORS SOCCER COMPLEX WHEN THE SOCCER IS IN SEASON AND STUFF OF THAT NATURE, SO JUST, THEY DO A GREAT JOB. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET DONOR, PARTICULARLY SOME OF THEIR PAST ALUMNI, AND THEY BOUGHT THESE DEFENSE CARRIERS FOR ALL OF THEIR CADETS NOW, SO. ALSO JUST WANTED TO REMIND EVERYBODY COMING UP NEXT WEEK WE'VE GOT THE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16TH, THAT PUPS AND POLICE, WHICH WILL BE AT DOG TOWN. AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE HALLOWEEN THEME, SO BRING YOUR PETS AND HANG OUT WITH THE POLICE AND THE K-9 UNITS. ALSO PARKS AND REC, A DATE NIGHT FRIGHT NIGHT DOUBLE FEATURE, MOVIES AT CLYDE PARK. THE FIRST IS WITCHES, WHICH WILL START ABOUT 7:00 P.M. AROUND 8:30 WILL BE THE MOVIE THE --

[00:05:01]

>> BACK THAT UP. >> YES, MA'AM.

>> THAT ONE DOESN'T SAY WHERE IT IS.

>> I WILL MAKE SURE -- IT'S ON OUR CALENDAR, BUT I'LL MAKE SURE THAT NEXT WEEK I INCLUDE CLOUD PARK. IT IS AT CLOUD PARK, YES MA'AM. THE PICTURE'S OFF OF OUR FACEBOOK PAGE AND IT DOES HAVE BESIDE IT LOCATION AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, SO.

>> IS THAT ON THE QR BOARD? >> I DON'T KNOW, BUT I'LL CHECK. I'LL MAKE SURE, YES, MA'AM.

>> YEAH. >> AND THEN THE LAST JUST KIND OF SHAMELESS PLUG BECAUSE WE'RE COMING TO AN END HERE SOON, NEXT WEEK THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANT PROGRAM WILL BE COMING TO AN END. AND I DID HEAR TODAY FROM JASON WE ARE UP TO 18 APPLICATIONS SO FAR FOR THE GRANTS. SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS AS WELL, SO, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

>> OKAY, ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING FOR JOHN? YES.

>> I CAN SAY -- I BROUGHT IT UP AT THE LAST MEETING, AND THEY WERE JUST, OH, WE HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT DOING ANYTHING

LIKE THIS. >> YEAH, I MEAN, WE REALLY -- WE'RE NOT TRYING TO REINVENT THE WHEEL, BUT THERE'S ONLY A COUPLE CITIES WE KNOW DOING IT, BUT WE HEARD ABOUT IT. SO IT IS HERE LOCALLY BUT ONLY A FEW PLACES ARE DOING IT. AND I REALLY LIKE THE FACT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MATCH SOME OF THE OTHER LOCAL GRANT FUNDS IF THEY'VE APPLIED FURTHER GRANT FUNDS, THEN AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO MATCH SOME OF THOSE AS WELL.

SO I THINK IT'S A REALLY --IT IS A BIG WIN FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS RIGHTS.

>> YES. SINCE WE'RE HIGHLIGHTING ACTIVITIES, I WANT TO THANK COMMUNITY CARES AND THE CITY FOR PUTTING ON A PHENOMENAL -- TURNOUT. EVERYBODY ENJOYED THEMSELVES. WE'VE HAD LOTS OF POSITIVE COMMENTS ONLINE FROM PEOPLE THAT ATTENDED THANKING THE CITY AND COMMUNITY CARES FOR DOING THIS AND LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR. SORRY YOU MISSED IT, JOHN.

>> I KNOW. >> BECAUSE IT WAS --

>> I GOT TO SEE THE PICTURES, I WAS ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT

JEALOUS. >> YEAH, THERE WAS OVERFLY PARKING, AND WE FILLED UP BOTH PARKING LOTS.

>> STAFF, POLICE, AND FIRE, AND EVERYONE THAT WAS THERE, YEAH,

RAVED ABOUT IT. SO NICE JOB. >> THE FOOD TRUCK VENDORS DID

WELL. >> YEAH.

>> AND WE HAD PERFECT WEATHER. SO YEAH, IT WAS GREA

>> IT WAS A LITTLE HOT. >> YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW, BETTER

THAN RAIN. >> IF I SAY IT WAS HOT, IT WAS

HOT. >> YES, YES.

HEIGHTS FIRE DEPARTMENT, THEY PUT ON A NICE OPEN HOUSE.

>> I MISSED THAT ONE TOO, BY THE WAY, SO THAT WAS AWFUL.

>> WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER. >> STOP TALKING, JOHN, BAD TIME.

>> I DON'T LIKE MISSING THOSE EITHER.

>> IT WAS A REALLY NICE TURNOUT. WHAT WAS NICE THIS YEAR IS THEY HAD A TRAIN SET AND WOULD GIVE LITTLE RIDES TO THE KIDDY TRAIN

SET. >> I WAS A LITTLE MAD I WASN'T GOING TO BE THERE, THE TILLER TRUCK STAND-UP THEY HAD WAS

COOL. >> SOME NEW STUFF.

>> THEY DO A GREAT JOB. >> I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK A VENDOR, GODFATHERS, THEY DONATED ALL THAT PIZZA.

>> EVERY YEAR SINCE THEY'VE BEEN HERE, THEY HAVE DONATED ALL THE

PIZZA. >> I WOULD LIKE YOU TO RECOGNIZE THEM OR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OR TONY, I WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE RECOGNIZED, BECAUSE THEY'VE DONATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS

OF DOLLARS. >> THE OLD REGIONAL MANAGER,

HE'S SINCE RETIRED NOW -- >> PERSONALLY DELIVER THEM.

>> AND GO BACK AND FORTH THE ENTIRE DAY IN HIS OWN CAR. HE'D GO DOWN, GET PIZZAS, DROP THEM OFF. THEN HE'D COME BACK. YEAH.

>> WE CAN REACH OUT TO THEM, FIND OUT WHO THAT WOULD BE.

BECAUSE I AGREE, I MEAN, THAT'S -- GODFATHER'S AIN'T CHEAP.

IT'S GREAT PIZZA. >> ITPHENOMENALLY AWE.

>> WE WERE WILLING TO BUY THING IS ON US. AND HE'S DONE IT EVERY YEAR SINCE. I THINK HE RETIRED LAST YEAR.

>> LAST YEAR. >> BUT YEAH, EVERY YEAR SINCE THEY'VE OPENED, HE HELPED OUT.

>> WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT FROM A BUSINESS PECTIVE, THEY'RE

NOT LOIN -- >> THEY'RE DAYTON.

>> THE FACT THEY DO THAT FOUS'S THEY DO FOR OUR CITY.

>> -- CLIENTELE FROM HUBER. >> YEAH, I'VE GONE.

>> THANK YOU. >> MR. WEBB AND I GET QUITE A FEW PIZZAS FROM THEM. OKAY, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY,

[ Culture And Diversity Citizen Action Commission Update]

>> SO PART OF OUR REGULAR UPDATES, WE HAVE CORY OWENS, THE CURRENT CHAIR OF THE COMMISSION, AND ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION, AND NOW BACK ON

THE COMMISSION AGAIN -- >> SO I'M HERE TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON THE HUBER HEIGHTS CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CITIZEN

[00:10:04]

THE THING THAT WE HAVE COMING UP, WE ARE IN THE -- WE'RE GOING TO BE IN THE HOLIDAY PARADE PROMOTING ALL THE EVENTS AND THENVING FORWARD, WHAT WE ARE G FORWARD TO IS MAKING THE MULTIC FESTIVAL THE PREMIER EVENT FOR THE COMMISSION BECAUSE THAT BRINGS -- OBVIOUSLY, WHAT WE TO IS BRING ALL THE CULTURES IN THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. SO THERE WILL BE SOME THINGS WE HAVE TO DO, SOME VISION CASTING AND SOME EVENT PLANNING THAT WE HAVE TO DO AS FAR AS THE COMMISSION IS CONCERNED TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE AND WE STAY ON THE FOCUS OF WHAT OUR MISSION WILL BE MOVING FORWARD, WHICH IS CELEBRATE AND HIGHLIGHT ALL THE CULTURE AND DIVERSITY THE GREAT CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS THAT ANYOFROM CITY COUNCIL HAS FOR ME?

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. WE APPRECIATE THAT. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? YES, SCOTT?

>> YEAH, JUST WANT TO THANK YOU. THAT WAS A VERY GOOD TURNOUT

THIS YEAR. >> YEHAD GOOD WEATHER FOR

THAT TOO. >> THAT'S ALWAYS A GREAT --

>> THANKS FOR THE BIG TENT, I THINK EVERYBODY APPRECIATES THE

BIG TENT. >> IT WAS HOT. YES, IT WAS HOTU DID GOOD JOB THIS YEAR. THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MAYOR.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING, ARE WE GOING TO HAND OUT THE CHRISTMAS PARADE ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IN JANUARY FOR MARTIN LUTHER KING'S BIRTHDAY, IS THAT GOING TO BE PROMOTED? I KNOW IT'LL BE ON OUR WEBSITE, BUT WILL YOU

PROMOTE THAT THAT DAY? >> WE WILL TRY. THE PLANNING COMMITTEE IS MEETING ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW, SO I DIDN'T WANT TO

JUST SPIT THAT OUT THERE. >> NO, NO, THAT'S FINE.

>> WE ARE -- AND WE'RE LOOKING TO DO SOMETHING LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR, SO THAT'S WHY I DON'T WANT TO PUT TOO

MUCH OUT. >> DON'T TELL ME A SECRET.

>> THEN I HAVE TO RECANT OUR NEXT ONE LIKE, I KNOW THAT'S WHAT I SAID, BUT WE'RE NOT DOING THAT. WE'RE WORKING ON THAT. IF WE GET ALL THOSE ITEMS IRONED OUT AND THE MARKETING TOGETHER, THEN YES, WHEN WE DO THE HOLIDAY PARADE WE WILL GO AHEAD AND PUSH THE EVENT FOR MLK ON MONDAY, JANUARY 19TH.

>> IN FEBRUARY WOULD YOU GUYS ALSO DO THE WRITING ASSIGNMENT? HELP ME? ISN'T IT WHY WE APPRECIATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH?

>> COUNCILWOMAN, NOT NECESSARILY SURE YET. I'VE BEEN IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PLANNING GROUP ABOUT K, SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND, YES, IT WILL BE ON JANUARY THE 19TH. THIS YEAR THE PLANNING COMMITTEE HAS KIND OF MOVED TOWARDS A LUNCH RATHER THAN A BREAKFAST I THINK IS WHAT THEY'VE TYPICALLY DONE. OUTSIDE OF THAT, I'M NOT NECESSARILY SURE IF THERE'S ANY KINDS OF PAPERWORK, BUT I'LL DEFINITELY KEEP YOU GUYS POSTED. AND ALSO THE COMMISSION, SINCE I'VE KIND OF BEEN THE CHAIR, WE'VE ADDED A FEW MORE THINGS. LIKE DURING THE JULY 4TH PARADE, THE HOLIDAY PARADE NOW, SO OBVIOUSLY WHEN ADDING MORE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO, OBVIOUSLY, BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER, WE'LL LOOK AT THOSE AND BRING THOSE TO THE AGENDA. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S

HAPPENING IN FEBRUARY, BUT -- >> BLACK HISTORY MONTH. I DON'T

KNOW IF YOU'VE HEARD. >> I KNEW THAT, BUT DON'T

HAVE ANYTHING -- >> -- A WRITING AND THEY WOULD JUDGE AND GIVE AWAY PRIZES TO THE STUDENTS.

>> OKAY. >> SAVINGS BONDS TO THE

STUDENTS, I BELIEVE. >> I'LL ADD THAT TO THE 2026 CALENDAR, AND HOPEFULLY OUR NEXT UPDATE I WILL HAVE SOMETHING FOR

YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING.

>> SO LAST YE MLK EVENT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LAST YEAR WAS PROBABLY THE BETTER ONE THAT I'VE SEEN OR ATTENDED. IT WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE. I THINK WHAT REALLY MADE IT NICE WAS THE EDUCATIONALS A SECT THAT WAS INCLUDED IN LIKE KIND OF THAT GALLERY WALK SO TO SPEAK. IT WAS JUST A REALLY, REALLY NICE EVENT. IF THE TIME CHANGE IS HAPPENING, WE CAN GET MORE PEOPLE THERE, THAT'S FANTASTIC, THAT'S AWESOME. BUT I MEAN, THE EVENT ITSELF LAST YEAR WAS PROBABLY THE BEST ONE THAT I'VE

SEEN. >> WE'VE TRIED USING THE QR

[00:15:01]

>> YES. >> WE'RE TRYING TO USE THAT AND A FEW MORE OF OUR OTHER EVENTS. IT HASN'T BEEN AS SUCCESSFUL.

WE ARE THINK THAT IS THE EVENT THAT WILL BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF

THE EDUCATIONAL PIECE. >> IT WAS A GREAT EVENT LAST

YEAR. >> I THINK THE MOVE'S BEEN AWAY

FROM WALKING IN THE COLD. >> I WASN'T GOING TO SAY THAT,

BUT I DO KNOW THAT -- >> WE'VE HAD A FEW YEARS WHERE THE ATURES WERE A LITTLE CHILLY.

>> ROUGH. THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THE COMMISSION WANTED TO DO. DEFINITELY WANTED TO GET BACK TO THE HISTORICAL ROOTS OF THAT. I BELIEVE IT USED TO BE LIKE A DINNER AND WE JUST KIND OF MOVED SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY TO THAT MORNING WALK, WHICH IS KIND OF TRADITIONAL WHAT BIG SHOING TO MOVE A A LITTLE MAYBE BACK TO WHERE WE STARTED. WE'LL START WITH THE LUNCH AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. TO YOUR POINT, WE'RE ALWAYS ADJUSTING AND COMMENTING AND SEEING WHAT WE THINK CAN DRAW A

BIGGER CROWD AND GET A BIGGER D >>THINK THE FACT IT WAS INSIDE HELPED THE DRAW. IT WAS THE MOST --

>> YES. >> NOT JUST THE EDUCAT PIECE OF IT, I THINK, BUT BEING INSIDE, MORE PEOPLE WERE ING TO COME TO THAT. IT WAS THE MOST WELL ATTENDED EVENT I K I'VE

SEEN TOO. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. T COMM. ONE, THERE IS A REGIONAL KIND OF ACTIVITY OF MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY THAT IS -- AND I WANT TO SAY IT'S DR.

ANTHONY WHITMORE, SO LET'S REACH OUT TO GROUP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. BEFORE WE STARTING MOVING LUNCHEONS AND ALL THOSE THINGS. I AGREE WITH THE MAYOR AS AN EDUCATOR THAT WAS AWESOME. IT ALLOWED INTERACTION, BUT IF YOU CAN, KIND OF GIVE US SOME HOMEWORK AT FIRST SO I DON'T GET ALL THE

ANSWERS WRONG NEXT YEAR. >> WORK ON THAT.

>> A PRETEST. >> SO THE CITY OF DAYTON -- WOULD YOU LIKE HIS PHONE NUMBER?

>> MR. WHITMORE'S EVENT IS FROM LIKE 9:00 TO NOON IN THE MORNING. THE MARCH AND THE WALK. SO I THINK MOVING IT TO LUNCHTIME AFTER THAT, WE ALSO DON'T ETE WITH ALY BIG MLK EVENT IN THE COMMUNITY. SO 'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE HAD DISCUSSED ABOUT MOVING ON A DIFFERENT TIME. FOOD ALWAYS ATTRACTS FOLKS TOO, SO THAT'S WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT.

>> COUNCIL, AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE THE EVENT GOING FROM 11:00 TO IS MY UNDERSTANDING RIGHT NOW.

>> ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> EMAIL AND PHONE NUMBER? >> JUST GET THE ANSWERS TO ME.

>> WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. AND YOUR PRESENCE AS CITY COUNCILMEMBERS IS ALWAYS SOMETHING WE'RE SEEKING FOR, SO AS MANY EVENT AS YOU CAN ATTEND, THAT WOULD BE GRND IF YOU'D SHARE OUR EVENTS ON ALL YOUR PLATFORMS, THAT WOULD BE

[ Chambersburg Road/City Of Dayton Paved Bike Path Trail - Project Funding]

AMAZING. >> APPRECIATE YOU FOR BEING

HERE. THANK YOU BOTH. >> OKAY, NEXT UP, ITEM 3C, THE CHAMBERSBURG ROAD AND CITY OF DAYTON PAVED BIKE PATH TRAIL

REGARDING THAT PROJECT FUNDING. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. THIS LEGISLATION WILL AUTHORIZE US TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO THE MIAMI VALLEY REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION FOR FUNDING FOR -- PAVED BIKE PATH TRAIL. IN YOUR PACKET WE HAVE A MAP THAT SHOWS THE BIKE PATH AND THE BIKE PATH WILL BE A CONTINUATION OF THE BIKE PATH THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING NEXT YEAR ALONG CHAMBERSBURG ROAD WEST WIDENING PROJECT. WITH THAT PROJECT, WE'LL BE INSTALLING 11-FOOT BIKE PATH OR SIDEWALK ON THE NORTH SIDE OF CHAMBERSBURG FROM OLD TROY TO ENDICOT. THIS NEW PATH WILL CONNECT AND CONTINUE WEST INTO THE CITY OF DAYTON THEN TURN SOUTH THROUGH THE WARRIORS' SOCCER FIELDS TO FISHBURG ROAD TO RIP RAP, CROSS RIP RAP AND CONNECT TO THE GREAT MIAMI RIVER TRAIL. THIS NEW BIKE PATH WILL BE AN AS FAULT PATH 11-FOOT WIDE AND 4,850 LONG. THIS FUNDING IS MVRPC'S TA FUNDING, TRANSPORTATIONAL ALTERNATIVES PROGRAM. AND WE ARE WORKING WITH THE CITY OF DAYTON AS A JOINT APPLICATION FOR THIS PROJECT. THE ESTIMATE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PROJECT IS $1,400 -- AND THE APPLICATION WE'RE REQUESTING $500,000 IN FUNDING TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT. IF WE RECEIVE THE PROJECT, WE CAN DESIGN AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR AND THIS IS A FEDERALLY FUNDED PROJECT. IT WILL TAKE UP TO FOUR YEARS FOR

THE PROJECT TO BE CONSTRUCTED. >> SO IS THERE -- IS THERE ANY WAY -- SO I KNOW WE HAVE IN OUR PACKET, AND IT'S BEEN AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE TO SEE WHO HAS LOOKED, BUT CAN WE GET THAT MAP ON THAT SCREEN SO PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING FROM HOME OR WHO WANT TO GO BACK AND WATCH THIS CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE PATH ON THE

[00:20:04]

LARGER SCREEN. >> IT'S ON THE WEBSITE.

>> YOU CAN JUST GO TO THE WEBSITE AND THE AGENDAS AND PACKETS AND PULL IT UP AS AN ATTACHMENT.

>> WE CAN DO THAT. I WANT TO HAVE THAT AND HAVE THE CAMERA FOCUS ON THAT. AND THEN, RUSS, IF YOU DON'T MIND, WHEN YOU DO THE DESCRIPTION, YOU KNOW, SOUTH, THEN IT HITS WEST, GOES WEST, YOU KNOW, THAT, FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DIRECTIONALLY CHALLENGED, IF YOU COULD GO UP THERE AND SHOW WHERE THAT PATH LEADS, KINDS OF HOW THAT'S GOING TO BE BUILT, WHERE IT GOES, I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE TO VISUALLY BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT'S ABOUT. ESPECIALLY IN OUR COMMUNITY WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE -- WE TALK ABOUT OTHER FORMS AND MODES OF TRANSPORTATION AND HOW IMPORTANT WALKABILITY AND BIKEABILITY AND ALL THAT IS, THIS IS A PROJECT I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TO. SO IF WE COULD GET A GOOD VISUAL ON HOW THAT'S KIND OF GOING LOOK, IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN THAT WITH A POINTER OR YOUR FINGER.

>> YOU WANT ME TO COME >> SURE, YES, IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE. AND ALEX THANK YOU. MARK, MAKE SURE YOU GOT THE CAMERA POINT ON THIS. THERE WE GO.

>> THIS IS THE WEST PROJECT FROM OLD TROY DOWN HERE. GOING WEST DOWN TO ENDICOT, DOWN HERE. -FOOT G PATH ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD. AND IT'LL END RIGHT HERE AT ENDICOT. SO FOR THIS PROJECT, TRYING TO PROVIDE CORE FUNDING TO CONTINUE PATH THEN CROSS THE ROAD HERE AND THEN RUN IT ALONG THE TREE LINE HERE INTHE SOCCER FIELDS. AND AT SOME POINT CROSSING THE CREEK IS HERE. I'M WORKING STILL THE WARRIORS' SOCCER FIELDS. THEY ORIGINALLY STARTED -- INAUDIBLE ] WE'RE STILL WORKING THAT OUT WITH THEM. WE HAVEN'T FINALIZED THAT YET. BUT WE'VE BEEN CROSSING THE CREEK -- AND THEN RUNS DOWN THE LONG DRIVE HERE. WHEN WE HIT FISHBURG, IT WILL GO ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD TO RIP RAP AND THEN ACROSS RIP RAP IS THE -- ROAD ON CHAMBERSBURG AND RIP RAP.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. AT THE CREEK, IS THERE GOING TO HAVE TO

BE A BRIDGE BUILT? >> YEAH. THERE'S A BRIDGE HERE ON FISHBURG. PROBABLY TWO BOX CULVERS SIDE BY SIDE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH -- STRAIGHT LINE DOWN CHAMBERSBURG? ALL THE WAY OUT TO RIP RAP ROAD AND THEN CONNECT TO THAT PARKING LOT THAT'S UP THERE. THE SHORTESTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS IS A STRAIGHT LINE.

>> AARON WORKED THIS OUT. AARON AND I TALKED ABOUT IT. I DON'T KNOW IF HE --

>> BUT IT WOULDN'T BEGOING THROUGH WARRIORS SOCCER. IF WE WENT STRAIGHT DOWN CHAMBERSBURG, YOU WOULD GO PAST THGRAVEL PIT OR WHATEVER THAT THING IS THERE. AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD STAY ON THIS -- ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WHEN YOU GOT TO RIP RAP, THERE COULD BE AN ADJOINING PIECE THAT WOULD GO DIRECTLY TO THE PARKING THAT'S NORTH OF

THE -- >> ALL THE WAY DOWN THIS ROAD TO

THE PARKING LOT. >> YEAH, BUT IT'S NOT THAT FAR.

>> THAT'S STILL A POSSIBILITY. YEAH, TO ME THAT MAKES A WHOLE LOT MORE SENSE. AND THEN YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THE COST O CULVERTS AND -- -- WASN'T SURE I HEARD YOU. IS THE CITY OF DAYTON PARTNERING WITH

THIS PROJECT? >> WE ARE, WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM. THEY HAVE TO PASS LEGISLATION FOR IT TO -- THEY COULDN'T TELL ME NOW IF THEY COULD CONTRIBUTE OR HOW MUCH

THEY COULD CONTRIBUTE. >> IF IT'S COMING FROM THE FUNDS, WHY AREN'T GOING FOR HALF AND WE WOULD GO FOR

HALF OF COST OF IT? >> I AGREE. IT WAS THE CITY

[00:25:02]

THEIR COMMISSION. >> YEAH, BECAUSE I HAD TALKED TO ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS AND THEY THOUGHT THIS WAS A GREAT

IDEA TO -- >> HE JUST HASN'T COME BACK TO ME YET WITH HOW MUCH --

>> BUT T'RE NOT REALLY CONTRIBUTING, IT'S COMING OUT OF FEDERAL FUNDS. BUT THEY JUST HAVE TO PUT IN AN APPLICATION.

>> THE PROJECT IS A TTLE OVER A MILLION. THE MOST I CAN GET OUT OF THIS FUNDING IS $500,000.

>> BUT THEY CAN PROBABLY GET ANOTHER $500,000, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. THERE HAVE BEEN GRANTS IN THE PAST THAT IF WE JOINTLY DID IT, BOTH COULD GO IN FOR THOSE AMOUNTS.

>> THAT, BECAUSE . AND THERE WAS SOME OTHER FUNDING THAT WAS AVAILABLE FOR BIKE PATH-TYPE THING, BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE A SAFETY PLAN. DO YOU KNOW IF WE'RE WORKING ON A SAFETY PLAN.

>> NO, NOT RRENTLY. WE DID A FE >> OKAY, BECAUSE I TOLD DARREN ABOUT IT ONCE, AND HE SAID HE KNEW WE NEEDED TO DO ONE, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF WE STARTED IT YET.

>> GO THAT CONVOLUTED PATH DOWN TO FISHBURG, AND IT ALSO CONCERNS ME BECAUSE FISHBURG IS NARROW AND IT'S DANGEROUS.

>> WELL, THERE IS ROOM ALONG HERE TO PUT A LITTLE PATH IN THE

RIGHT-OF-WAY. >> RIGHT.

>> FROM THEM. IT COULD BE DONE. THAT MIGHT BE A LONGER PATH TO

GET THERE. >> LOOKING AT THIS, WHEN I DISCUSSED THIS WITH AARON, I THINK A BIG ISSUE IS THERE ARE NO CITY OF DAYTON RESIDENTS AT ALL THAT THIS BENEFITS.

>> YEAH. >> THIS IS ALL FOR HUBER HEIGHTS RESIDENTS. SO WE'D EVEN DISCUSS WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO TRY TO GET THAT PROPERTY BACK FROM DAYTON WE WERE PRETTY MUCH TOLD TO

GO POUND SAND. >> YES.

>> BECAUSE THERE'S -- IT DOESN'T BENEFIT THE CITY OF DAYTON OR CITY OF DAYTON RESIDENTS WHATSOEVER.

>> NO. >> THEY HAVE REASON TO GIVE US ANYTHING. THEY HAVE NO REASON TO GO IN WITH US ON A GRANT APPLICATION BECAUSE THIS IS ALL ABOUT HUBER RESIDENTS, EVEN IF YOU WENT DOWN THE OTHER WAY. ALL OF THE VILLAS DOWN THERE, THAT'S ALL -- THOSE ARE ALL HUBER HEIGHTS' RESIDENTS.

>> RIGHT. >> SO THERE IS NO DAYTON RESIDENTS AT ALL THAT THIS BIKE PATH BENEFITS. AND IF DAYTON DOESN'T HAVE A BENEFIT TO THEIR RESIDENTS, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE WILLING TO HELP US GET THAT DONE. AND THAT IS -- THAT'S THE ULTIMATE PROBLEM THAT AARON HAD RAN INTO WHEN HIM AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS, WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IT JUST -- IT MAKES MORE SENSE COMING DOWN THIS BACK WAY OVER TO FISHBURG RATHER THAN GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN CHAMBERSBURG AND THEN ALL THE WAY DOWN RIP RA NO, NO.

>> I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT AS RUSS MENTIONED, YOU CAN'T JUST -- EVEN IN THE RIGHT OF WAY, ALL OF THOSE PROPERTIES, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO ACQUIRE ALL OF THOSE PROPERTIES OR THAT RIGHT OF WAY AT FAIR MARKET VALUE TO GET THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY WE'D NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT WHEN WE KNOW THE COMPLEX IS INTERESTED IN HELPING US GET THAT DONE. THAT HELPS OPEN UP SOME OF THEIR PARKING FOR SOME OF THEIR PEOPLE ON THAT SIDE. THERE'S LOTS OF ADVANTAGES FOR WARRIORS SOCCER COMPLEX TO WORK WITH US WHEN THERE'S NOT A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY OR REASON THE CITY OF DAYTON WOULD WANT TO WORK WITH US, BECAUSE IT'NOT HELPING ANY OF THEIR RESIDENTS.

SO IT'S NOT THAT I DISAGREE WITH ANYTHING YOU'RE SAYING, RIGHT, BUT WE ALL -- STRAIGHT LINE IS A LOT QUICKER. BUT I THINK THERE ARE REASONS THAT THAT PATH IS TAKING ON THAT GENERAL FLOW RATHER THAN GOING ANOTHER WAY, AND THAT IS BECAUSE MAINLY CITY OF DAYTON AT THIS POINT HASN'T BEEN OVERLY WILLING TO HELP GET THAT DONE BECAUSE IT DOES NO BENEFIT TO

ANY OTHER PEOPLE. >> MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO GIVE IN EXCHANGE. WHEN I'VE TALKED TO COMMISSIONERS, THEY REALLY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN GIVING IT UP, WHICH IS INSANE, BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT USING IT, AND LIKE YOU SAID,

IT'S OF NO BENEFIT. >> I'M FRUSTRATED. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY MESSAGES AND EMAILS I GET ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE ROADWAY WHEN IT DOESN'T BELONG TO US? I MEAN, I WISH WE HAD THAT PROPERTY BACK JUST SO WE COULD FIX THE ROAD.

>> SURE, SURE. >> BUT I MEAN, IT'S THREE OR FOUR A WEEK THAT I GET ABOUT THE CONDITION OF CITY OF DAYTON'S ROADWAY THERE. SO YEAH, I WISH WE COULD JUST HAVE THAT AND FIX

[00:30:05]

>> YEAH, BUT THERE'S ONLY -- >> I THINK THAT WAS THE BIG REASON. IT DOESN'T BENEFIT ANY DAYTON RESIDENT.

>> NORTH ON RIP RAP, I THINK THERE'S ONLY ABOUT FOUR PROPERTIES INVOLVED BEFORE YOU GET TO THE PARKING LOT OVER THERE. BUT I JUST, YEAH, I -- TO ME GOING DOWN AND THEN IF YOU WERE GOING TO RIDE UP TO TAYLORSVILLE, YOU'RE JUST GOING

SOUTH AND THEN GOING NORTH. YOU >> FOR ALL THOSE BIKERS, THERE

WON'T BE ANYTHING LIKE THAT. >> IT DOES MAKE OUR COMMUNITY

MORE WALKABLE AND BIKABLE. >>

>> YEAH. WHEN AARON AND I HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT. -- INVOLVED IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS TOO, THERE'S A SPECIFIC REASON IT LOOKS CONVOLUTED THE WAY IT IS, WE WEREN'T GETTING THE COOPERATION FROM DAYTON AS WE NEEDED.

>> THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I DIDN'T STATE AT THE TIME WHETHER THE CITY OF DAYTON WAS DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GOING

TO. >> YES.

>> WELL, THAT'S TRUE. BUT LIKE I SAID, IT'S A FEDERAL GRANT.

IT'S NOT COMING OUT OF THEIR COFFERS, SO.

>> I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT COULD HAPPEN. I'LL HAVE TO CHECK

THAT. >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND MAYBE FOR SOME LEVERAGE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN SAY YOU GUYS NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THAT ROAD, YOU KNOW. OR TURN IT OVER TO US SO WE CAN.

>>

>>

PARKING LOT THERE -- >> -- THAT'S KIND OF THEIR

STARTING POINT. >> YEAH, IT'S THE SAME, IT'S JUST ANOTHER PARKING LOT LIKE THE ONE UP FURTHER NORTH.

>> THE ONE THERE UP NORTH IS A LOT BIGGER.

>> YEAH. >> SCOTT?

>> YEAH, JUST A COUPLE THINGS. I THINK ONE REASON WHY AARON WANTED TO MAKE IT THIS WAY IS IF ANY OF THE KIDS UP IN -- ALL WAY DOWN CHAMBERSBURG, EVEN COME FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL IF THEY COME DOWN THERE AND NEEDTO GO TO WING SOCCER FIELD FOR THE BASEBALL DIAMONDS OR ANYTHING AND THE KIDS ARE RIDING THAT WAY, THEY'RE NG RIGHT ACROSS WHERE THAT CLUBHOUSE IS WHERE THE CULVERT IS THERE. ALSO, IF PEOPLE DO RIDE BIKES, WHERE THEY'RE CUTTING ACROSS RIP RAP THERE, THERE'S ONLY FIVE OR SIX PARKING SPACES. THERE'S PARKING ALL THE WAY DOWN THAT GRAVEL ROAD THAT'S COMING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO FISHBURG. YOU COULD EVEN PARK THERE AND EITHER GO RIGHT OR GO LEFT, YOU KNOW, EAST OR WEST ON THAT BIKE PATH AND GET THERE. SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT MORE PARKING PLACES IF WE OPEN THIS UP FOR A BIKE PATH, WHICH WE ARE ON CHAMBERSBURG, TO GIVE MORE PEOPLE OPPORTUNITIES, YOU KNOW, TO PARK IN THAT DIRECTION.

>> IF -- AND THIS IS JUST BEING THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, IF WE WENT STRAIGHT OUT OF CHAMBERSBURG, WOULD THAT CUT THE TIME TO GET THE WORK DONE SINCE WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO ALL THE OTHER -- THE CULVERT WORK AND

>>

>> SO YOU'RE SAYING IT'S GOING TO TAKE FOUR YEARS FROM 201 TO THAT ONE DONE. I MEAN, FROM 202. FROM THE --

>> IN HERE? >> YEAH.

>> WELL, I MEAN, NEXT YEAR WE'LL BE BUILDING IT ONE DOWN TO

AND THE NEXT YEAR. >> OKAY. AND THEN WE'LL PICK THAT UP. THIS FUNDING TAKES FOUR YEARS --

>> OH, IT TAKES FOUR YEARS BEFORE WE CAN START. EVEN WITH

THE FEDERAL -- >>

>> WELL, THAT'S WHEN I SAW TIP FUNDING, I THOUGHT THAT, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS UNDER DERAL FAST ACT FUND, IT MIGHT BE

QUICKER. >> NO, THIS IS UNDER --

INAUDIBLE ] >> THIS SAYS FEDERAL FAST ACT

FUNDS. >> I THINK WE REVISED THAT.

>> OH, BUT I JUST PRINTED THIS OFF. YEAH, I JUST PRINTED IT OFF

THE WEBSITE. >> WE HAVE IT IN THERE AND THEN WE REVISED IT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GOT AN EARLIER READ. THAT'S OLD LEGISLATION.

[00:35:03]

JOINT PROJECT. >> WELL, WE'RE ALREADY SHOWING IT AS A JOINT PROJECT. I'M SUPPOSED TO GET THE LEGISLATION FROM THEM TO ADD INTO THE APPLICATION. BUT THE FUNDING ITSELF HAS TO GO THROUGH -- WHICH IS LIKE THREE STAGES OF --

>> RIGHRIGHT. >> AND THEN THERE'S ENVIRONMENTAL, WHICH TAKES NINTHS. THERE'S A BUNCH OF STUFF -- IN ORDER TO GET STARTED.

>> OKAY, SO IF WE GOT ALTERNATE FUNDING IN THE MIDST OF THIS FOUR-YEAR TICYCLING, WOULD THAT SPEED IT UP ANY?

>> IF YOU GOT DIFFERENT FUNDING AND YOU DECIDE TO DROP THE FUNDING -- ABILITY TO FIND ALTERNATE FUNDING AND THEN JUST DROP THIS

ONE. >> YES, YOU COULD.

>> YEAH. >> THERE'S A PENALTY ON A

FUTURE APPLICATION. >> WELL, I UNDERSTAND, THAT HAPPENED BEFORE. YEAH, OKAY. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

>> RUSS, REAL QUICK, ONE MORE THING. THIS MIGHT -- I'M JUST GOING TO BRING IT UP NOW BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT THE COMPLETION OF WIDENING OF CHAMBERSBURG AND CARRYING THAT BIKE PATH ON DOWN THERE. IF WE WOULD HAVE BUILT A SIDEWALK ALONG CHAMBERSBURG, UP PAST LEXINGTON PLACE AND DOWN TO OLD TROY, IF THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE TWO, THREE, EARS AGO, WOULD WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND TEAR ALL THAT SIDEWALK OUT WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE

COMING TO -- >> FUNDING TO DO THIS WIDENING INCLUDES --

>> GOT YOU. SO A BIG PART OF THE REASON THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE YET IS, NUMBER ONE, FUNDING. SO WE'RE SAVING SOME TAXPAYER DOLLARS BY DOING ITTHIS BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING FUNDING.

AND THEN NEXT, DOESN'T PART OF THAT CHAMBERSBURG -- OR MINIMIZING -- SO IF WE HAD A SIDEWALK UP THERE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO OLD TROY, WOULD THAT SIDEWALK HAVE TO COME OUT IN

ORDER TO -- >> YOU MEAN IF THERE WAS SIDEWALK ON CHAMBERSBURG IN THE HUMP AREA?

>> WE ALREADY BUILT THE SIDEWALK.

>> YES, WE'D HAVE TO TEAR THAT OUT. WE KNEW THIS WAS COMING AND THAT COMES DOWN ABOUT FOUR FEET. CAN'T GO ANY FURTHER -- IT MEETS THE 35-MILE-AN-HOUR REQUIREMENT, BUT WE CAN'T

INAUDIBLE ] >> GOT YOU. OKAY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT JUST FROM THE SIDEWALK PERSPECTIVE THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS ANGLE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. WE'VE UNDERSTOOD FOR QUITE SOME TIME WHAT THIS PROJECT IS ABOUT AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE. AND HAD WE GONE AHEAD AND FUNDED AND BUILT SIDEWALK -- WHAT DO YOU THINK

SIDEWALKS COST? >> I'M NOT GOING TO HOLD YOU TO

THIS, I'M JUST -- >>

>> -- WHATEVER SIDEWALK THAT WE ARE GOING TO PUT IN THERE WITH THE BIKE PATH, LIKE WHAT IS THAT?

>> TYPICAL FIVE-FOOTSIDEWALK. IT'S ABOUT -- BUCKS A FOOT.

DOWN THERE. >> OH, ALL THE WAY DOWN.

>> DOWN TO WHERE IT'S GOING TO PICK UP.

>> ENDICOT. >> DOWN TO ENDICOT.

>> I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW LONG THAT IS.

>> I MEAN, IT'S A HELL OF A LONG WAY. I'M JUST --

>> OH YEAH, IT'S A MILE AT LEAST.

>> IS IT A MILLION DOLLAR SIDEWALK?

>> SIDEWALK IN SO FAR, WE'VE ACTUALLY SAVED TAXPAYER MONEY BY ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS BY WAITING FOR FEDERAL FUNDING, WAITING FOR FUNDING FROM MVRPC, AND THEN WAITING TO ACTUALLY BUILD THE SIDEWALK AS WE DO THE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS, IS THAT A

FAIR STATEMENT? >> YEAH.

>> PERFECT. WHAT'S WHAT NEEDED. THANK YOU.

>> ONE MORE QUESTION. >> YES.

>> HOW IS THIS GOING TO BE IMPACTED BY THE NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT'S BEING PUT IN ACROSS FROM LEXINGTOPLACE. -- NORMALLY PUT

IN AS PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT. >> THEY'RE NOT PUTTING ANY IN.

>> THEY'RE PAYING FOR THE KE PATH.

>> OH, OKAY. THAT'S GOOD. >> SO WE HAVE -- SO WE'D HAVE DEVELOPERS HELPING TO CONTRIBUTE. PERFECT.

>> SO IF IT'S GOING -- IF IT'S BEING CONSIDERED A BIKE , ARE WE DOING FIVE FOOT, SIX FOOT?

[00:40:02]

>> BIKE PATH UP HERE? >> YEAH. I MEAN, IF THE DEVELOPER GOING TO T IN NORMAL SIDEWALKS --

>>INAUDIBLE ] AND I THINK WE PAYING TO DEN IT UP TO 11

FEET. >> OKAY.

>> MAKE SURE THAT THROUGH THE FUNDING MECHANISMS WE WERE GOING TO END UP WITH A CONSTANT SIX FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN. AN WHETHER HE PAID FOR FIVE AND WE PAY FOR THE OTHER FOOT, IT'S

FINE. >>

>> RIGHT, OKAY. THANK YOU. >> RUSS, I APPRECIATE YOU.

>> YES. >> THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT. I THINK WE HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF KIND OF WHAT'S

GOING ON. YES, ANITA? >>

IS THAT PART OF -- >> I'M NOT SURE IF WAWA'S

PAYING FOR -- >> WASN'T WAWA PAYING FOR E SECTION UP BY THEM TO SIDEWALK IT?

>> OH, THEY OULD BE. >> GOT TO TALK TO AARON ON THAT.

I'M NOT POSITIVE ON THAT ONE. >> YEP.

>> I KNOW THEY DESIGNED IT BECAUSE WE KNEW THAT WAS COMING THROUGH. I'M NOT -- I'D HAVE TO CHECK.

>> I THINK THEY ARE. >> IT MIGHT BE ACCORDING TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, I JUST DON'T KNOW.

>> SHORT SECTION, YEAH. >> BUT OVERALL, I MEAN, THERE'S BEEN A BIG QUESTION ABOUT WHY WE DIDN'T BUILD THAT SIDEWALK ALREADY. AND I THINK -- AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE EVERYONE AWARE THAT WE DIDN'T BUILD THAT SIDEWALK ALREADY BECAUSE WE'VE SAVED ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS BY NOT DOING IT.

>> YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT SIDEWALK IN UNLESS IT'S DESIGNED FOR A FEW WHICH ARE ROAD BECAUSE FOR THAT REASON YOU MIGHT HAVE TO TAKE IT ALL OUT LATER ON, BECAUSE IT'S BUILT AT THE WRONG ELEVATION. YOU PUT CURB IN, IT COULD SIT TOO LOW

AND ALL THAT STUFF, SO -- >> NOT TO MENTION WHAT IT COSTS TO RIP OUT A MILLION DOLLAR SIDEWALK TO TURN AROUND AND DO IT AGAIN. I APPRECIATE THAT. ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY.

THANK YOU. ANY ISSUES OR OBJECTIONS TO MOVING THAT ON? SO THIS IS THE ACTUAL APPLICATION TO MOVE FORWARD ON THE NEXT --

>> LEGISLATION THAT GOES INTO THE APPLICATION JUST TO SHOW OUR

[ Tax Rate Certification - Montgomery County]

SUPPORT. >> OKAY, ANY OBJECTION? OKAY, THANK YOU. NEXT UP IS ITEM 3D, THE TAX RATE CERTIFICATION

THROUGH MONTGOMERY COUNTY, JIM? >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS. I HAVE BEFORE YOU AS I DO ANNUALLY THE TAX RATE CERTIFICATION. THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY BUDGET COMMISSION AND THEN FOLLOWING THIS ONE THE NEXT ONE IS MIAMI COUNTY BUDGET COMMISSION, THEY MEET AND THEY DETERMINE RATES -- WELL, THEY KNOW WHAT RATES BECAUSE WE HAVE TAX LEVIES THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE PROPERTY TAXES FOR YEARS. I THINK MOST OF THESE HAVE BEEN PASSED BACK IN THE '80S AND SO THEY'RE NOT -- THE EFFECTIVE RATE ISN'T AS HIGH AS IF THEY WERE CURRENT LEVIES. AND SO WHAT THEY DO IS THEY ESTIMATE WHAT THEY THINK WILL COME IN IN REVENUES. SO ALL THIS COUNCIL NEEDS TO DO APPROVE PUTTING THOSE ON THE COLLECTION, ALLOWING THE COUNTY TO COLLECT THEM. AND I WILL SAY FOR MONTGOMERY COUNTY, THE ESTIMATE DOLLAR AMOUNTS TO COME IN FROM THESE ARE FOR THE GENERAL FUND $1,442,069. FOR THE POLICE FUND, $1,486,118. AND FOR THE FIRE

FUND, $1,002 $1,002,580. >> OKAY, ANY QUESTIONS FOR JIM? ANY OBJECTIONS? DOES ANY OF THIS NEED TO BE -- I FORGET, DOES THIS NEED TO BE DONE BEFORE A CERTAIN TIMEFRAME? IS THIS EMERGENC EY NEED TO BE DONE BY

OCTOBER 31ST. >> THEY WERE LATE IN GETTING THE

INFORMATION TO US. >> YEAH, THEY WERE.

>> YES, THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT, OKAY.

>> YEAH, THESE ARE JUST RESOLUTIONS, SO IT JUST TAKES

ONE READING. >> PERFECT.

[ Tax Rate Certification - Miami County]

>> AND APPROVAL. >> OKAY, ANY OBJECTION? SO DID WE -- IS THE SAME THING FOR E, DO WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT E?

>> FOR MIAMI COUNTY I CAN TELL YOU THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS ARE A LOT LESS. FOR GENERAL FUND THEY ESTIMATE $29,095. POLICE FUND,

$30,171. AND FIRE FUND, $25,680. >> OKAY, THANKS, JIM. ANY OBJECTION TO D AND E MOVING ON TO MONDAY? OKAY. NEXT IS ITEM

[ Supplemental Appropriations]

WE GOT? >> YES, I PUT THESE IN YOUR PACKET AHEAD OF TIME, AND THEN I HAVE ONE ADDITION TONIGHT. SO I'LL START WITH THE ONES THAT WERE IN YOUR PACKET. WE RECEIVED $29.44 FROM THE FINAL REMAINING AMOUNT FROM A FIREFIGHTERS ASSISTANCE GRANT THAT WAS BACK IN, I BELIEVE, '21 OR '22. YOU

[00:45:02]

SO THIS IS ALLOWING THAT. THERE'S ALSO $127,992, WHICH IS REIMBURSEMENT OF INITIAL FUNDING FOR THE DECK. SO DECK GAVE US APPROXIMATELY .7 MILLION WHEN THEY -- WHEN WE FIRST BUILT THE PARKWAY. AND THEY SAID, SINCE THEY KNEW THE TIP FUND WAS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO COLLECT THE DOLLARS, THEY SAID WE'LL PUT THAT OFF. YOU DON'T NEED TO REIMBURSE US UNTIL WE START CHANGING OVER WHERE THE -- WHERE WE'RE GETTING MORE TIP REVENUES IN THAN PAYING DEBT SERVICE. SO NOW THAT THAT'S BEEN IDENTIFIED, IT ACTUALLY STARTED IN '24, WE DIDN'T CATCH IT UNTIL THIS YEAR, SO THIS PAYMENT OF $127,992 IS IS -- NOW THE EXCESS THAT WE RECEIVED OVER THE DEBT SERVICE FOR THE YEARS OF '24 AND '25. SO IT'S BASICALLY A 0% LOAN THAT THEY GAVE US, SO WE'RE JUST NOW GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY THEM BACK. SO WE'D LIKE TO DO THAT.

AND THEN THE NEXT ITEM IS $13,232 FOR A GEAR EXTRACTOR FOR THE FIRE DIVISION. AND THIS MATCHES BWC GRANT THAT THEY RECEIVED. SO THEY'RE JUST ASKING THAT THAT BE ADDED TO THE BUDGET SINCE THEY GOT THE GRANT MONEY. AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M BRINGING IT TO COUNCIL TO INCREASE THE BUDGET FOR THAT.

$43,075 FOR THE FIST LEASE PAYMENT ON THE NEW FIRE DIVISION MEDIC, WHICH COUNCIL HAD APPROVED, I BELIEVE, AT THE LAST MEETING OR THE ONE BEFORE THAT. THE FIRST PAYMENT WILL BE IN MEDIC BEFORE THE FIRST PAYMENT IS DUE, BUT THAT'S THE FIRST DOLLAR, FIRST AMOUNT E IN DECEMBER, $47,075. THE ADD-ON FOR TONIGHT, CHIEF CAME TO ME LITERALLY THE DAY OF I HAD PUT THIS INTO THE COUNCIL PACKET AND SAID THEY ARE GETTING TWO NEW VEHICLES, BUT THEY HAD NOT BUDGETED THE OUTFITTING OF THOSE VEHICLES. AND IT'S GOING TO COST ABOUT $31,000 TO OUTFIT THOSE TWO VEHICLES. AND SO HE ASKED IF WE COULD ADD THAT TO THE BUDGET BECAUSE THEY'LL BE NEEDING TO SPEND THAT -- BEGIN SPENDING THAT AND OUTFITTING THOSE VEHICLES BEFORE THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. SO WE APPRECIATE IF THAT COULD BE ADDED AND BE READY FOR MONDAY AND THEN HAVE THAT PASS ON

MONDAY WOULD BE THE REQUEST. >> OKAY, SO WE NEED TO WAIVE THE SECOND READING ON THIS ONE FO MONDAY?

[ Section 5310 - Enhanced Mobility Of Seniors And Individuals With Disabilities Grant ]

>> YES, PLEASE. >> ANY QUESTIONS? OBJECTIONS? OKAY. NEXT UP IS ITEM 3G, SECTION 5310, ENHANCED MOBILITY OF SENIORS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES GRANT. JEFFREY.

>> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL, HOW YOU ALL DOING TODAY?

>> GOOD. >> MAKE IS QUICK. SO BASICALLY WHAT THIS RESOLUTION DOES IS IT JUST GIVES AUTHORIZATION TO CITY MANAGER TO APPLY FOR STATE FISCAL FUNDING YEAR 2027 THROUGH THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, ODOT, R TRANSIT PROGRAMS. IT INCLUDES FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDING.

OUTSIDE OF THAT, THE PURPOSE OF THAT IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT MEANS OF TRANSIT FOR RESIDENTS GEARING TOWARDS OLDER ADULTS AS WELL AS THOSE WITH DISABILITIES IS OUR INITIAL THOUGHT. BUT WITHIN THAT WHOLE PROGRAM, THERE ARE OTHER APPLICATIONS WE CAN APPLY FOR AS WELL. JUST HAVING THE APPLICATION PROCESS OPEN OCTOBER THE 1ST, I WILL STILL SIFT THROUGH THAT WITH OUR NOTION OF APPLYING FOR SECTION 5310 BUT ADDITIONALLY I WILL SPEAK WITH LEADERSHIP AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT THERE'S OTHER APPLICATIONS WE SHOULD ALSO APPLY FOR AS WELL. AS OF THAT, I'LL JUST NEED AUTHORIZATION FROM COUNCIL TO GO AHEAD, ADD THAT TO THE APPLICATION PROCESS, AND YEAH, SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO

AFTER THAT. >> OKAY, THANKS, JEFFREY, ANY

QUESTIONS? >> DID YOU SAY 2027?

>> YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM. SO THERE'S THE PROCESS OF SELECTION OF NG IN THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND THEN JUST MOVING THAT TOWARDS THE NEXT CYCLE FOR 2027.

>> SO WE'RE TOO LATE FOR 2026? >> CORRECT.

>> AND WHAT AMOUNT ARE WE LOOKING AT?

>> SO THAT CAN VARY, RIGHT? I WOULD TELL YOU OFF RIP THE SECTION 5310, I'VE TALKED TO OTHER MUNICIPALITIES ABOUT WHAT

[00:50:03]

BASICALLY CITY OF REYNOLDSBURG HAS SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHERE THEY HAVE THIRD PARTIED THE WHOLE IDEA OUT FOR PICKING UP SENIORS, TAKING THEM PLACES, AND ALL THAT, ET CETERA. TOTAL COSTS AROUND $144,000. IT WOULD BE AN 80/20 MATCH ON THE CITY'S PART.

>> IT WOULD BE A WHAT? >> 80/20 MATCH.

>> 80/20 MATCH. OKAY, I SAW THAT IT WAS A MATCHING AMOUNT, BUT IT DIDN'T SAY 80/20. SO WHICH ONE ARE WE PAYING?

>> THE 20. >> YOU'RE PAYING THE 80, NO.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. JEFFREY, COULD YOU CLARIFY. SO THISWOULD BE FOR OUR SENIOR CENTER TO TRANSPORT, CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT? MAYBE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

>> YES, MA'AM. SO THE IDEA, YES, WE WOULD -- SO BASICALLY WHAT THIS IS KIND OF COMING FROM, IT'S COMING FROM OUR AGE-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY REPORT. AND TRANSPORTATION WAS A KEY ITEM FOR WHAT ARE OUR SENIOR RESIDENTS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO YES, IT WOULD BE KIND OF MORE PLACE FOR THEM -- FOR THEIR USAGE, BUT I ALSO TALKED TO DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES AND HOW THEY HAVE SORT OF FUNDED IT TOWARDS OTHER USES. SO LET'S SAY, FOR INSTANCE, IF WE OF BROADEN IT OPEN AND MADE IT USABLE FOR OTHER LE, WE WOULD JUST KIND OF INTO THAT IDEA OF THE REVENUSTREAM OF THAT -- TOO. SO THE IDEA IS WE'RE NG IN ON OUR SENIORS AND THOSE WITH DISABILITIES, BUT WE CAN ALSO KIND OF EXPAND IT TOWARDS OTHERS.

>> SO THIS IS TO FUND A VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER.

>> S. WE'RE TALKING THE WHOLE THING. SERVICES. WE'RE TALKING VEHICLES, INSURANCE, ALL THAT STUFF WOULD KIND OF BE SHIFTED OFF OF THE CITY AND STAFF AND KIND OF BE PLACE ON A THIRD PARTY VENDOR TO DO ALL OPERATIONAL COSTS FOR US.

>> WITH WOULDN'T LOSE OUR LEASING VEHICLES, IT WOULD BE

SOMETHING SEPARATE. >> YES. NOW, WE COULD -- THE ACTUAL APPLICATION GIVES USTHE IDEA WE COULD POTENTIALLY DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE WE COULD APPLY FOR FUNDING FOR A VEHICLE. I'M LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS WHEN I'VE DONE MY NUMBERS, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LEASING OUT A VEHICLE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT $115,000 FOR OUTFIT, FOR, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A RAMP OR WHEELCHAIR LIFT. AND THEN WE'RE -- THAT'S JUST THE VEHICLE ITSELF, UPFIT. THEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO A SCHEDULING SYSTEM, RIGHT? HOW MUCH DOES IT COST FOR INSURANCE AND LIABILITY COSTS FOR THE ACTUAL VEITSELF, SO WE'RE NOT SAYING WE'RE GOING TO BE BEHOLDEN TO THIS ONE NOTION MOVING FORWARD, BUT IT'S JUST TO TRY TO SEE IF IT REALLY WORKS. I WOULD MORE OR LESS CALL IT A PILOT IF ANYTHING AND JUST SEEING IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE GET THE FEEDBACK AND RESIDENTS ACTUALLY

LIKE TO DO IN THE FUTURE. >> OKAY, THANK YOU, JEFFREY.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. >> I THINK IT'S A SERVICE THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY LOOKING FOR AND WILL BE APPRECIATIVE OF ONCE WE KIND OF -- WE HAVE THAT IN THE CITY. AND THEN AGAIN IT'S THE EDUCATIONAL PIECE, RIGHT? MAKING SURE EVERYONE KNOWS WE HAVE THAT TYPE OF TRANSPORTATION, THOSE TYOF SERVICES AVAILABLE. I THINK WE'LL BEGIN TO SEE MORE PEOPLE USE IT. GETTING IT IS THE MAIN THING. I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT YOU GUYS HAVE PUT INTO THIS HERE PRETTY QUICKLY.

>> AND OUR TRANSPORTATION WILL JUST BE WITHIN THE CITY, RIGHT AND WE'RE NOT TAKING THEM TO AUSTIN LANDING FOR A DAY OF

SHOPPING, RIGHT? >> WE WOULD SET UP BOUNDARIES.

>> BOUNDARIES, RIGHT. >> LIKE JEFFREY WAS TALKING ABOUT, WE EXPAND TO VETERANS, FOR EXAMPLE, OF ANY AGE. YOU KNOW, WE WOULD CONSIDER TAKING THEM ASFAR AS THE VA. SO YOU KNOW, WE ESTABLISH THAT BOUNDAR JEFFREY'S MENTIONING TONIGHT, IT TAKES CARE OF THE SCHEDULING AND ALSO THE THIRD PARTIES THAT JEFFREY HAS PRESENTED TO JOHN AND I. IT HAS AN APP, SO IT'S ALL SCHEDULED ON AN APP, OR YOU CAN GO ONLINE AND SCHEDULE AN APP. AND IF IT WORKS WELL AND WE THINK IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM AND OUR RESIDENTS THINK IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM, WE EVALUATE IT AS PART OF THE CONTRACT. LIKE JEFFREY MENTIONED, WE COULD BRING IT IN HOUSE AND OUTFIT OUR OWN VEHICLES, USE OUR OWN STAFF

[00:55:05]

TO BE A PART OF IT. >> I'M ALL FOR THIS, GETTING THE GRANT STARTED, BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU SURVEY THE SENIORS. BECAUSE WHAT I'M HEARING IS THEY NEED HELP GETTING TO SAMARITAN NORTH, MIAMI VALLEY HOSPITAL, AREAS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY FOR THEIR DOCTOR'S POINTS. NOT SO MUCH IN

THE CITY. >> YEAH, SO YES, COUNCILWOMAN, YES. SO WHEN -- JUST DOING THE RESEARCH, RIGHT, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OTHER MUNICIPALITIES, RIGHT, WE'RE NOT JUST AS LOCAL AS THE CITY BOUNDARIES. WE UNDERSTAND WHERE SENIORS ARE TRYING TO GET TO, DOCTOR'S POINTS, THE STORE,

JUST BEING OUT, RIGHT? >> I DON'T THINK THAT YOU'LL GET A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD USE IT TO EAT OUT, BECAUSE THEY BUDDY UP AND DO WHATEVER THEY NEED TO DO.

>> SURE. >> BUT GETTING TO DOCTOR'S POINTS, GETTING TO VA, THOSE ARE THE THINGS THEY NEED HELP WITH.

>> THE FOUR SURVEYS WE'VE DONE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, OBVIOUSLY, THIS WAS A PRIORITY, AS JEFFREY MENTIONED. AND SO AS A PRIORI'RE TAKING, JUST LIKE WE DID WITH THE LAST COMMUNITY SURVEY, IS THOSE TURN INTO ACTION PLANS THAT LEAD INTO BUDGET. SO WE ARE DOING WHAT THE RESIDENTS HAVE ASKED US TO DO.

IN THIS CASE IN THE AGE-FRIENDLY SURVEYS AS JEFFREY MENTIONED THIS WAS A HIGH PRIORITY FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO HAVE SOME SORT OF TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HOW DO WE GO TO SOME OF THE HOSPITALS, DOCTOR'S POINTS. DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO BE -- WHEN WE'RE PASSING A FEW OTHER KEHRTING NETWORK HOSPITALS. SAME THING WITH PREMIER HOSPITALS. DO WE GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO MIDDLETOWN, TO THE ATRIUM, THAT'S PROBABLY A LITTLE TOO FAR. BUT AS WE LOOK AT A LOT OF THE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES AND COUNTIES THAT HAVE THIS TYPE OF PROGRAM FOR THEIR RESIDENTS, THEY GO PRETTY LARGE DISTANCE. SO THAT'S ONE THING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ESTABLISH IS SET THOSE BOUNDARIES ONCE WE GET THE PROGRAM UP AND RUNNING. WE CAN ALWAYS MODIFY IT, YOU KNOW, SO YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE CONSISTENT ASK THAT WE NEED TO GO TO A CERTAIN DOCTOR'S OFFICE OR HOSPITAL, WE CAN ALWAYS EXPAND IT.

>> YEAH. >> I WILL JUST GIVE THE ONE FEEDBACK. SOME HOSPITAL NETWORKS I'VE WENT TO ONLY THIS LOCATION IS GOING TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. AND SO LIKE THERE MAY BE FOUR OTHER PLACES HE NETWORK, BUT ONLY THAT SITE IS GOING TO WORK ON THIS ISSUE. SO THAT WOULD BE THE REASON. AND ONCE WE LEARN THAT, I THINK IT WOULD ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU,

MAYOR. >> YES, ANITA?

>> NANCY, I AGREE WITH YOU ON SENIORS, BUT I THINK ON THE FLIP SIDE WHEN YOU'RE TALKINABOUT WITH DISABILITIES, THEY HAVE THE FUNDING AND TRANSPORTATION OFTEN TO GET TO DOCTORS. THEY'RE GOING TO WENT TO GO OUT TO DINNER, AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE ONES THAT WANT TO GO SHOPPING THAT THEY CAN'T PROBABLY GET THE PROJECT MOBILITY FOR, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT TOP PRIORITY. SO ON THE FLIP SIDE, PEOPLEWITH DISABILITIES ARE GOING TO BE THE OPPOSITE, PROBABLY, OF SENIORS.

>> JUST TO ADD INTO THAT, RIGHT, WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW MANY VANS OR TRANSITS DO WE NEED, RIGHT, TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEEDS OF OUR SENIORS, THOSE WITH BILITIES TO KIND OF MEET THOSE NEEDS WHETHER IT'S -- OR JUST TO BE KIND OF MORE INDEPENDENT, RIGHT? TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND DO THINGS.

>> SOUNIKE WE'RE STEP C OF STEP QQ. WHENWE GET THERE, WE'LL IDENTIFY WHAT THE NEEDS ARE AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE SURE THIS IS --BECAUSE NO PROGRAM, IF NOBODY USES IT, IT DOESN'T MATTER. IT ISN'T WORTH IT. WE'LL FIND OUT WHO'S GOING TO USE IT, WHAT NEEDS ARE NEEDED THMOST X THEN BE ABLE TO MODIFY THE PROGRAM TO FIT, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE REASON WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS TO MAKE SURE WE SERVICE THE MOST AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO TAADVANTAGE OF THE

SERVICE. ANITA? >> IF YOU ARE SERVING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, CHECK OUT THE DISABILITY FOUNDATION FOR GRANTS FOR LIFTS. THAT'S SOMETHING THEY WOULD DO. AND ALSO HIGHER DEPARTMENT OF THE DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES WOULD GRANTS ALSO IF IT'S HELPING TRANSPORT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.

>> THANKS. NANCY? >> YES, AND SOME OF THE SENIORS HAD TALKED ABOUT DOING, LIKE, WHAT WE MIGHT CALL A PILOT PROGRAM WHERE SOMEOF THEM -- AND I KNOW THERE'S LIABILITY ISSUES HERE -- BUT WHERE IF WE COULD LEASE A VEHICLE AND THEY COULD HAVE DRIVERS THAT WOULD SIGN UP TO TEST THE PROGRAM, MORE OR LESS, TO SEE WHAT THE DEMAND IS AND ALLOW PE TO SCHEDULE, YOU KNOW, WHERE THEY WANTED TO GO, WHEN THEY WANTED

[01:00:02]

>> SOME OF THE COMMUNITIES WE LOOKED AT, TO YOUR POINT, HAA WITH COMPLETELY THIRD PARTY, SOME DO A HYBRID. IF THEY HAVE A SENIOR ER, THEY CAN HAVE THAT TYPE OF PROGRAM. JEFFREY AND I WERE JUST TALKING THE OTHER DAY OF THE VOLUNTEERS THAT WOULD BE -- THESE ARE EARLY RETIREES, SO'50S AND '60S. I TOOK A LITTLE OFFENSE TO THAT. BUT THEY ARE -- WE'RE GOING TO EVALUATE ALL OF THOSE PROGRAMS, SEE WHAT LOOKS BEST. THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE'S A LOT OF UNITIES THAT WE LOOKED AT ALL THE WAY FROM COLUMBUS TO THE DAYTON AREA SO WE DON'T HAVE TO REINVENT THE WHEEL. WE CAN SEE WHAT'S WORKING IN THOSE COMMUNITY AND WHAT DIDN'T WORK IN THOSE COMMUNIT AND THEY'VE BEEN SHARING THE INFORMATION, JEFFREY'S COLLECTED A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THIS PROGRAM. AND A LOT OF COMMUNITIES HAVE BEEN MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHARE WHAT THEY LEARNED BY PROVIDING THIS TYPE OF SERVICE. THAT'S GOOD. GOOD.

>> YES? >> ENHANCED MOBILITY FOR OLDER ADULTS AND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES, THAT SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY WIDE NET. DO YOU HAVE TO BE REALLY SPECIFIC WITH YOUR INTENT IN APPLYING FOR THIS GRANT? I MEAN, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT EQUIPMENT PURCHASES OR WHAT HAVE YOU, HOW SPECIFIC DO YOU HAVE TO BE IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR THE GRANT?

>> SO, AS I MENTIONED. THE APPLICATION JUST BEING RELEASED ON OCTOBER THE 1ST, SPECIFICALLY LIKE TALKING ABOUT OUR SENIORS, THE SENIOR CEI WANT TO SAY THE AGE FOR MEMBERS TO APPLY OR ACCEPT IS 55 PLUS. SO THERE MIGHT BE WIGGLE ROOM WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT IS QUALIFIED AS AN OLDER ADULT.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I CESSARILY HAVE IT FIGURED OUT YET, BUT TYPICAL STANDARD IS, WHAT, 65 PLUS, BUT THAT'S

SOMETHING I COULD FIGURE OUT. >> I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST THAT, I DON'T KNOW, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE OF A MOBILITY PROGRAM LIKE THAT INVOLVING SENIORS, MIGHT WANT TO CHECK OUT -- THEY'VE GOT IT DOWN TO A SCIENCE OUT THERE. YOU KNOW, THEIR SENIOR CENTER IS LARGER THAN OURS. BUT I'M GOING TO GUESS THEY UPWARDS OF ABOUT EIGHT VANS AND BUSES THAT THEY USE FOR TRANSPORTING SENIORS OUT THERE. IT'S A GREAT

PROGRAM. >> THANKS. ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY, ANY OBJECTION TO MOVING THIS ON, STARTING THIS

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR, COUNCILMEMBERS. FIRST, BEFORE I GET INTHE EXPLANATION OF THE ORDIIN FRONT OF YOU, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON, YOU SAW IT PREVIOUSLY WITH OUR TIF VIDEO, WE HAVE A VIDEO THAT HELPS EXPLAIN WHAT AN NCA IS AND HOW IT WORKS. THIS WILL BE POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT AN NCA OR YOU CAN -- GET SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NCA, WE CAN REFER THEM RIGHT TO OUR WEBSITE TO SHOW A SMALL, SHORT VIDEO.

I'LL PLAY IT FOR YOU NOW. >> ABOUT A TOOL CITIES ACROSS OHIO ARE USING. THE NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY OR NCA. A NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY IS A PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP ALLOWED UNDER OHIO LAW, CHAPTER 349. IT CREATES A SPECIAL DISTRICT, KIND OF LIKE A ZONE, WHERE FEES HELP PAY FOR THINGS LIKE STREETS SIDEWALKS, SEWER LINES, PUBLIC BUILDINGS, STREETSCAPES, MUSIC CENTERS, AND MULTIUSE BIKE PATHS. IT ALLOWS CITIES AND DEVELOPERS TO SHARE THE COST OF NEW INFRASTRUCTURE. THE PEOPLE WHO BENEFIT FROM THE IMPROVEMENTS HELP PAY FOR THEM OVER TIME, INSTEAD OF REQUIRING LARGE UP-FRONT INVESTMENTS FROM THE CITY OR TAXES FOR EVERYONE ELSE. WHY USE ONE? BECAUSE NCAS SUPPORT SMART GROWTH. THEY HELP CITIES GROW RESPONSIBLY WITHOUT SHIFTING THE COST OF NEW INFRASTRUCTURE ON TO LONGTIME RESIDENTS. INSTEAD, NEW PROPERTY OWNERS OR BUSINESSES IN THE NCA AREA HELP FUND THE IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CHARGE. CITIES ACROSS OHIO ARE USING NCAS TO MAKE BIG PROJECTS POSSIBLE.

>> WE'LL BE POSTING THAT ON OUR FACEBOOK URN NCA. THE PAGE IS ALREADY CREATED. WE JUST NEED TO TURN IT LIVE TOMORROW. TO SHOW IT TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL FIRST BEFORE IT GETS OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THAT LEADS US TO THE ORDINANCE IN FRONT OF YOU.

THIS WILL FORMALLY ESTABLISH THE NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY, GOING TO BE CALLED THE HUBER HEIGHTS NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY. AS MENTIONED, LIKE IN THE VIDEO, IT'S A PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP, AND WE ARE, SINCE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF GROWTH IN THE NCA BOUNDARY AND THE ORIGINAL PETITION THAT YOU RECEIVED INCLUDES ESSENTIALLY THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT OR EXECUTIVE BOULEVAND CARRIAGE TRAIL TWO. SO WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO ASK TO FORMALLY PUT THE APPOINTEES ON THE BOARD.

YOU'LL SEE THE RECOMMENDATIONS WE HAVE, STEVE, WHO IS WITH DUBLIN SEVEN. KEVIN BROKAW, WHO'S WITH PRIDE ONE. MATT DUNN WITH MIMI. AND THEN SINCE IT'S IN WARD SIX, EXCUSE ME, WARD TWO, DON. WYNN.ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?

>> SORRY, I WAS CLICKING THROUGH. YES, NANCY?

>> WITHIS AFFECT THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE ALREADY IN PROCESS ON EXECUTIVE AND THE --

>> IS SO THE BUSINESSES THAT ALREADY EXIST, SINCE WE HAVE MET WITH THEM, THEY HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN JOINING THE NCA, BUT IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT. WE CANNOT FORCE ANY CURRENT BUSINESSES, LET'S SAY ON EXECUTIVE, TO JOIN, BUT WE HAVE MET WITH, OBVIOUSLY, DUBLIN SEVEN, BUT T.J. CHUMPS AND TRUE BY HILTON FOLKS. SWE EXPLAINED THE PROGRAM. WE LEAD WITH WHAT THE NCA FEES ARE GOING GO TOWARDS. EVERYTHING THE COUNCIL HAS SEEN. SO WE GO THROUGH KIND OF A SLIDE SHOW OF THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT, THE ROSE MUSIC CENTER, SOME OF THE IMPRENTS THAT ARE ON ALONG THE EXECUTIVE AND INDOOR

MUSIC CENTER AS WELL. >> SO THE INCENTIVE TO THEM TO JOIN IS TO FURTHER DEVELOP THE AREA AND BRING MORE BUSINESS IN.

>> CORRECT. THIS PART IS -- WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT BIKE PATHS, BUT LIKE ESPECIALLY ALONG THE EXECUTIVE, HAVING MULTIUSEPATHS THAT CONNECT ALL THE BUSINESSES TOGETHER, WAYFINDING SISO THAT WHEN YOU'RE ENTERING THE AREA EACH OF THE BUSINESSES WILL HAVE THEIR NAME ON THERE WITH WHERE TO GO AS PART OF THIS WAY FINDING PROJECT. PLUS SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS NEEDED IN THE AREA, FOR EXAMPLE, STORM WATER. AND THEN, OBVIOUSLY, AN INDOOR MUSIC CENTER.

>> WHAT ABOUT, LIKE, REVERB? >> WE VEN'T TALKED TO REVERB, BUT PRIDE ONE HAS AGREED TO JOIN. THAT'S OUR NEXT GROUP IS TO MEET WITH REVERB AND DISCUSS WITH THEM THE BENEFITS OF

JOINING. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. IT WILL -- WILL IT BE A, LIKE IF WE GET A HOTEL IN THERE IN THE FUTURE, IF WE GET ANOTHER HOTEL, WILL THAT BE JUST A PART OF IT. WILL THAT BE A GIVEN OR WILL THEY BE INVITED TO JOIN?

>> SO THAT COULD BE PART OF THE NEGOTIATIONS. ANY LAND THAT WE CURRENTLY OWN AUTOMATICALLY IS IN THE NCA.

>> OKAY. ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? AND I THINK THAT IS, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON HOW THAT ALL PLAYS OUT WHEN IT'S DONE AND JUST THE TIMING OF THE COUNCILMEMBERS UP HERE, I THINK CERTAINLY WE'D HAVE TO HAVE SOME FORM OR FASHION OF REPLACEMENTS. DON'T KNOW IF AN ALTERNATIVE IS SOMETHING WE WANT TO PUT IN THLEGISLATION ITSELF, WOULD THAT MAKE SENSE?

>> ONCE ESTABLISHED, THE BOARD HAS TO ALSO, SEPARATE FROM THE CITY, THE ACTUAL NCA ARD, COULD MAKE SOME ADDITIONAL RULES. THE NCA BOARD COULD ALSO CHOOSE TO EXPAND AS THE NCA DISTRICT AND AREAS GROWWE CAN ADD ADDITIONAL RESIDENTS.

IT'S EXISTING D5 IN -- COUNCIL'S APPROVAL TO PUT A MOTION ON THE AGENDA TO INDICATE THERE'S NO OBJECTION OF THE TRANSFER OF THIS LIQUOR PERMIT TO THE OHIO DIVISION OF LIQUOR CONTROL.
