THIS MEETING IS OFFICIALLY CALLED TO ORDER.NEXT ITEM WE HAVE THE INVOCATION FROM THE PASTOR GRIFFITH. GOOD TO SEE YOU, SIR.
>> LUKE 23. WHEN THEY CAME TO THE PLACE OF THE SKULL, IT SOUNDS A HALLOWEEN MOVIE, THERE THEY CRUCHIM ALONG WITH THE CRIMINALS ONE ON HIS RIGHT AND THE OTHER ON HIS LEFT.
HE SAID FATHER, FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
WHO IS JESUS FATHER? WHO IS JESUS PRAYING FOR AND FOR WHAT? HOW FAR DID THE PRAYER OF JESUS REACH? ONLY AS FAR AS THOSE WHO ARE KILLING HIM OR FOR OUR SINS, AS WELL? EVEN FOR THE SINS OF ALL PEOPLE ALL OF THE WAY TO THE END OF ALL THINGS. PAUL WRITES IN SECOND CORINTHIANS, HE MADE NO SIN SO IN HIM WE MAY BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. IT IS NO WONDER THE JUSTICE OF GOD IN JESUS. HE WAS ALL SIN FOR ALL PEOPLE FOR ALL TIME. WHAT GOD DID THROUGH JESUS SUFFERING IN DEATH WAS WELLWELL WORTH IT THAT WE MAY NOT ONLY BE FORGIVEN, BUT THAT OUR LIVES MAY BE TRANSFORMED TO BE LIKE HIM.
HAVING SAME LOVE, BEING ONE WITH HIM IN SPIRIT AND PURPOSE. THIS REACHES ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF TIME AND FOREVER FOR ALL WHO BELIEVE. LASTLY, THERE'S A SCENE AT THE END OF THE MOVIE "TOP GUN MAVERICK" THAT CAN ILLUSTRATE THE MAGIC OF GOD. I LIKE MOVIES THAT HAVE SOMETHINOF GOD.
MAV MAVERICK GOES AND EMBRACES ROOSTER. ROOSTER IS MAVERICK'S GOOSE'S SON WHO WAS MAVERICK'S DECEASED BEST FRIEND.
SO MAVERICK COMES UP AND EMBRACES ROOSTER AND SAYS THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE TO WHICH ROOSTER REPLIES, THAT'S SOMETHING MY DAD WOULD HAVE DONE. IN HEARING THAT I COULD HEAR MYSELF THANKING JESUS FOR SAVING MY LIFE AND THEN HERE JESUS RESPONDING, THAT'S WHAT MY DAD WOULD HAVE DONE. LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON.
LET'S PRAY. FATHER, THANK YOU F HAVE DONE FOR US AND YOUR SON AND HELP US COME TO COMPREHEND THE SIGNIFICANCE THAT AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF THAT SO THAT WE ALL MIGHT EXPERIENCE LIFE FROM YOU. SO, LORD, GUIDE THIS MEETING TONIGHT BY YOUR GOODNESS AND GRACE AND THAT ALL MIGHT BE DONE IN A WAY THAT'S GLORIFYING TO YOU AND GOOD FOR PEOPLE. IN CHRIST'S

THANK YOU FOR THE WORKO FOR THE CHAMBER.
>> MR. MAYOR, IF THANK YOU FOR THIS.
IT DOES NOT CLARIFY WHAT WE HAVE DONE TOGETHER AS ABLE TO DO AND THE CITY HAS BE WHAT THE CHAMBER AND WE HAVE BUMPS AND BRUISES AND WE' FAMILY AT THE END OF THE DAY AND AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S A JOB WELL DONE.
THE CITY TO MAINTAIN IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PRODUCTIVE AND MAYOR, WE'VE HAD 15 NEW BUSINESSES ESTABLISHED IN THE PAST YEAR ALONE AND WE ARE HAPPY TOE THANK YOU.
>> IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT FROM A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE, NOT EVERY BUSINESS WILL BE A MAJOR CORPORATION THAT HIRES 2,000 PEOPLE AND IT'S NOT ALWAYS GOING TO BE A WALMART THAT EMPLOYS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
SOMEONE MADE IT A POINT TO SMALL BUSINESS IS THE STRENGTH OF ANY COMMUNITY AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE CHAMBER REALLY EXEMPLIFIES. ITS THAT SMALL BUSINESS AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE TAKING A CHANCE AND PUTTING IN THEIR OWN BLOOSWEAT D TEARS AND INVESTING THEIR OWN MONEY TO GROW.
I THINK IT'S ALL THOSE BUSINESSES THAT DON'T GET THE RECOGNITION OF THE MAYORAL CORPORATIONS AND'RE THE BACKBONE OF BUSINESS. WE CERTAINLY WANT TO BE AWARE OF ALL OF THOSE, AND I KNOW YOU GUYS DO A EAT JOB IN HIGHLIGHTING THOSE OUT RIBBON CUTTING AND MAYBE ALL OF THOSE BUSINESSES AND BUILD SOMETHING AS SPECIAL AS WE CHOSE HUBER HEIGHTS AS THE PLACE TO DO BUSINESS.

YOU SEE A MOTLEY CRUE UP THERE AND THEY WERE BRIGHT- EYED, WIDE GRINS AND YOU'LL SEE THEIR LAST NAMES OUT THERE, FIREFIGHTERS, RAP, MIRANDA, SUTHERLAND, DOOM, THUNDEROUX AND KEYS AND ANDERSON.
WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE THEM AND IT EXEMPLIFIES THE FORWARD THINKING THAT WE HAVE IN PUBLIC SAFETYTOE TRY TO BRING NEW IDEAS AND NEW PEOPLE IN. REALLY PROUD OF THAT. THE NEXTTHING IS NOT TO BE UNDONE. THE POLICE DIVISION IS ALWAYS LOOKING TO FILL SOME GAPS AND BRING LE IN. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT WHAT OFFICER OLINGER HAS DONE WITH OUR CADETS AND THE WHOLE CADET PROGRAM.
I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO MENTION HERE THEY BROUGHT OUT LATE LAST WEEK AN APPLICATION PROCESS AND THEY'RE TRYING TO BRING IN TEEN, YOUNG ADULTS FROM 14 TO 21 WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN A CAREER IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THIS IS A WAY TO GET YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR AND SEE IF IT'S WHAT YOU'D LIKE AND I KNOW WE HIRED QUITE A FEW OF OUR EXPLORERS AND CADETS IN THE PAST.

>> THERE'S ALWAYS -- LWAYS GET FIRST AND SECOND MOTIONS BEFOWE ENANY TYPEOF DISCUSSION.
>> I KNOW, BUT THERE WAS AN ACTUAL VOTE.
>> THAT WAS A MOTION TO. OKAY.
>> I'RE EXPRESS DEEP CONCERN ABOUT THE 'S DECISION TO POINT TRUSTEES TO THE NC ABOARD A BOARD AFTER THE POPULATION REACHES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF RESIDENTS. THE INITIAL APPOINTMENTS ARE NORMAL UNDER THE LAW, BUT YOU'RE SETTING THIS UP TO NEVER ELECT THE TRUSTEES CAN DETERMINLATER IF THEY'D LIKE TO HOLD ELECTIONS.
DER THE LAW, SECTION 349.04, IT MEMBER SHALL BE PLACED BYELECTED CITIZEN MEMBERS ACCORDING TO THE THE ORGANIZATIONAL BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS CALCULATED TO ACHIEVE ONSUCH REENT EACH TIME THE NEW COMMUNITY DISTRICT APPOINTEE'S TERM ENDS UNTIL SUCH TIME AS TO ALL APPOINTED CITIZEN MEMBERS ARE REPLACED AND S THE SAME FOR THE DEVELOPER REPRESENTATIVES. SO IT'S ALREADY IN THE LAWLAW AT A LATETIME ELECTION SBE HELD.
IT STATES THAT YOU MAY CHANGE THAT THE WAY THAT YOU
[00:20:01]
SELECT PEOPLE WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE DOING BY HAVING THE LANGUAGE TO ALWAYS APPOINT WITH THCITY AND DEVELOPER ALAPNG TRUSTEES, ERE WOULD THESE CITIZENS' REPRESENTATIONS REALLY BE? SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY HAS TO LIVE IN THE NCAND A RESIDE WITH CHANGING THIS YOU SET IT UP SO YOU AND THE DEVELOPER HAVE ZERO PLANS OF EVER LETTING GO OF THE NTROL AND WON'T EVERHAVE TO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF CIL FULLY UNDERSTANDS THAT. WITH COMMON CONCERNS ABOUT TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY AND ETHICS THIS DEEPLY CONCERNS ME FOR THESE FUTURE RESIDENTS. I WENT TO COL MEMBERS AND SPOKE AT MEETINGS ON HOW I FEEL LEAK THE CITY IS WORKING FOR THE DEVELOPER AND NEITHER IS WORK OTHER FOR US AND OUR NEEDS.HUBER HUBER HEIGHTS COUNCILS HAVE ALOUD OVER 5500 HOMES AND CONDOS TO BE PLACED ON 750 ACRES JUST IN CET- ALONE WHILE KNOWING THESE BUILDERS WON'T ADVERTISE THE CORRECT CITY THESE HOMEARE LOCATED IN BECAUSE IT'S A SELLING POINT. IT'S GONE ON NOW SO LONG AND NOBODY HAS PROPOSED ANY TYPE RESOLUTION OR RULES TO STATE THAT IF THEY WANT TO DEVELOP OR BUILD IN OUR CITY THAT THEY AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO CORRECTLY ADVERTISE. WE SHOULD JUST HAVE A DIFFERENT ZIP CODE IS ALL IN CARRIAGE AILS. IT WOULD BENEFIT RESIDENTS TO NOT HAVE CONFUSION. THE CITY HAS EVEN TO MAKE A PAGE ON THEIR WEBSITE THAT CT IS HUBER, BUT INSTEAD 'LOWETO CONTINUE.
THAT'S JUST ONE THING THAT SHOWS THAT WE'D RATHER LET RESIDENTS BE CONFUSED AND LIED TO INSTEAD OF ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VOTERS AND DEVELOPERS AND HOW IS THAT ING OUR INTEREST THE FOREFRONT. THIS NOT THE MOST ETHICAL PATH FORWARD.
THEY WILL FUNCTION LIKE TAXES AND YET THE PEOPLE PAYING THOSE CHARGES, FUTURE RESIS AND TAXPAYERS YOUR CITY WILL HAVE NO VOICE IN WHO IS APPOINTED.
IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVED AND TED FOR YOU, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT YOU WOULD FULLY SUPPORT THESE ELECTIONS IN A CITY E TRANSPARENCY IS ALREADY A CONCERN WHERE I FEEL DEVELOPMENT DECISIONS OFTEN APPEAR BENEFIT THE DEVELOPERS' AGENDAS AND OTHERS WAY MORE THAN THE ACCOBILITY, TRANSPARENCY AND ONCE WITH THE NEEDS FOR US AND APPOINTING TRUSTEES WITHOUT A CLEAR TRANSITION PLAN TO PUBLIC ELECTIONS UNDERM PUBLIC TRUST. IT CONCENTRATES POWER IN THE HANDS OF THE FEW AND SHIELDS CRITICAL, FINANCIAL AND LAND USE CISION FOR DENTIAL OVERSIGHT.
IF THIS CITY BELIEVES IN ACCOUNTABILITY AND PEOPLE OVER POLITICS, THEN MUST COMMIT TOA PUBLIC TIMELINE FOR A TRANSITION FOR THE N C ABOARD A BOARD, AND THE DECISIONS AND FINANCES ARE BEING MADE IN THE LIGHT OF DAY AND NOT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS TO ANY OPEN THE RESIDENTS WILL COME -- THE RESIDENTS TO COME DESERVE TO ELECT SOMEONE WHO WILL DEAL WITH ANY CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR OWN DECISIONS IF WE DON'T ALLOW ELECTIONS FOR THIS BOARD, A BORE SEAT MAY NEVER HAVE SOMEONE TTING IN IT THAT LIVES IN THAT COMMUNITY. DOESN'T MA SENSE WHEN WE HAVE A CITY WHO ELECTS REPRESENTATIVES THAT LIVE IN EACH WARD.
LASTLY, I'M NOT EVEN SURE HOW WE EVEN GOT TO THIS POINT BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECORD AT ALL OF A PUBLIC HEARING ON AUGUST 13TH AT 2:00 P.M. THAT IS RE BY LAW FOR THE NCA PETITION.
WHERE WAS THE PUBLIC HEARING? WHERE ARE THE MINUTES TOAT HEAR THIS ISN'T RIGHT.
HAVE I MISSED SOMETHING? THANK YOU.
>> AARON, EGARDS TO THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT, WILL THIS NCA OVERLAY THAT?
>> AND COULD YOU EXPLAIN HOW IT WILL
THE WAY NCA PETITIONISIS OUT, THE OVER THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT THERE ARE A VARIETY OF POSSIBLE CHARGES THAT THE NCA TRUSTEES COULD IMPOSE ON THOSE PROPERTIES BEING A FOOD D BEVERAGE , A PARKING CHARGE, A TICKET REVENUE CHARGE.
THERE'S A WHOLE MYRIAD OF OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THE TRUSTEES TO RA WITHIN THATICT.
WHAT THOSE OPTIONS ARE AND D OUT IN SOME CASES SET RATERATE CAP, SET A CEILING, BUT NOT A FLOOR.
>> OKAY. THOSE FUNDS BE SPENT ON?
>> RIGHT NOW REALLY ANY PUBL IMPROVEMENTS THAT THE NCA
[00:25:02]
TRUSTEES DEEM IMPORTANT. IT IS BEING SET UP, PRY TO FINANCE THE NEW MUSIC CENTER.>> OKAY. AND THIS NCA OVERLAY COULD OR NOT INCLUDE THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING THAT'S GOING ON NORTH?
>> SO THDOES INCLUDE THE - 2, THE LAND TO THE NORTH. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE TRUSTEES CESSARILY HAVE TO IMPOSE A CHARGE ON ERTY. WE FELT AS STAFF THAT IT MA SEUE TO MOVE FORWAS THE ORIGINAL IN' TO T IT ALL OVER A
COMMITTEE'S DECISION? >> CORRECT.
THATLD BE THE NCA TRUSTEES' AS TO WHETHERNOT THEY WOULD WANT TO IMPOSE A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CHARGE ON THOSE PROPERTIES, REALLY, ALL OF THE PROPERTIES WITHIN THE DISTRICT AND NOT JUST THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT OR THE NORTHE PROPER, AND OF WHAT IS BEING APPOINTED TONIIS JUST SORT OF OUR OFTHOSE RESIDENTS. CITIZEN MEMBERS, MEMBERS REPRESENTING GOVERNMENT, IN THE FUTURE THE DEVELOPER LL APTHEIR REPRESENTATIVE AND THE CITY MANAGER WI APPOINT HIS REPRESENTATIVES.
SO THERE WILL A TOTAL OF SEVEN TRUSTEES.
>> THOSE TRUSTEES WILL BE BY WHO
>> RIGHT NOW THE FOUR WOULD BE APPOINTED BY THIS BODY. THE DEVER HAS ONE AND -- EXCUSE ME. YEAH, ONE, AND THEN THE CI R HAS TWO APPOINTMENTS AND LET'S SAY THAT THE COMMITTEE DECIDES THAT THEY ARE GOING TO IMPLEMENT THE NCA CHARGE ON THE RESIDENTS CARRIAGE TRAIL, TOO, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WILL ANY BACK OR WILL THAT BE ON THE NCA
BOARD. >> ALL MEETINGS WILL BE IN PUBLIC AND FULL TRANSPARENCY.
>> THAT WILL BE PART OF THE DISCLOSURES ON ANYBODY THAT BUYS A HOME THERE, CORRECT?
>> SO IT WOULDN'T BE SOMETHING THAT THAT SNEAKS UP AND SURPRISES THEM THAT THERE ISA CHARGE THEY DIDN'T KNOW.
>> NO. IN FACT, NOT DISCLOSING IT IS ONE POINTS OF INVALIDATING THE NCA IF A RESIDEWERE TO OPPOSE THE CHARGE, AND IT WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO THEM IN THE BEGINNING THAT COULD BE A POINT OF INVALIDATION OF THAT CHARGE. SO THERE IS A FULL TRANSPARENCY ERE WHEN THEY GET TO THE POINT OF - - IF THEY GET TO THE POINT OF FILING DECLARATIONS ON
>> YEAH. >> MAYOR, JUST TO CLARIFY THAT, THE ORDINANCE IS STILL OPEN FOR CITIZENS OF CARRIAGE TRAILS TO WHEN THEY START GETTING BUILT TO BE ON THE TRUSTEES, CORRECT?
>> SO RIGHT NOW THE WAY IT IS LAID OUT, SO THERE IS THAT POTENTIAL, YES. THERE ARE THREE CITIZEN MEMBERS THAT ARE BEING APPOINTED TO A STAGGERED TERM. TWO WAS ONE- YEAR TERMS AND TWO AS ONEA TWO- YEAR TERM.
THOSE INDIVIDUAL SAYS AS THEY AGE OUT THEY CAN EITHER BE REAPPOINTED BY THIS BODY OR THERE COULD BE A REPRESENTATIVE WHO LIVES IN ACTUAL CARRIAGE TRAILS AT THAT POINT IN TIME, BUT WE'RE TALKING FOUR OR PLUS YEARS DOWN THE ROAD AT THIS TIME BY THE TIME THINGS GET BUILT AND SETTLED IN, YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A POOL OF INTERESTED INDIVIDUALS TO CHOOSE FROM.
>> CORRECT. THAT IS CLASSIFIED IN THE ORDINANCE LATER ON THAT WILL HAPPEN?
>> CORRECT. THIS WILL NOT SET THESE INDIVIDUALS' TERMS FOR LIFE.
CAN -- CAN THE, IN CA EXPAND ON THE BOARD? CAN THEY TAKE IT FROM SEVEN TO NINE.
>> THEY CAN. THERE ARE CERTAIN AUTOMATIC EXPANSIONS THAT OCCUR. SO IF THE LAND AREA WERE TO GROW THERE WOULD BE A NUMBER OF CITIZEN MEMBERS THAT WOULD BE APPOINTED BY US AND THEN POTENTIALLY BY ANOTHER DEVELOPER IF ANOTHER DEVELOPER CAME IN ON THE PETITION.
>> OKAY. SO -- BUT WE SET -- WE SET IT AT THE MINIMUM, BUT THERE IS THE ABILITY TO GROW THE NUMBER OF THE INDIVIDUALS.
HAD HER HAND UP. >>÷÷ I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
PROCEDURALLY, OR TONY, ARE WE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ABOUT THIS?
>> IT WAS IN THE CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING.
>> WE HAD SEPARATE PUBLIC HEARING THAT WAS
[00:30:03]
INDICATED E TIME THAT'S HERE MAINLY BECAUSE THATWHEN WE COULD FIT IT IN BASED ON THE WAY THE SCHEDULE OF MEET>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. MAYBE YOU OR TONY CAN CLARIFY THIS, AND WHAT YOU UNDERSTOOD, IT SO SHE'S A RESIDENT AND SHE CAN BE ASSURED SHE'S NOT ASSESSED A FEE. SO IT'S ONLY ONLY FOR NEW
THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYINGCLARIFYI NG THAT.
>> THANK YOU. MY SPEECH WAS FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT WILL BE COMING BECAUSE AS' ENGULFS ALL OF CARRIAGE TRAILS, TOO. IT'S 370- SOMETHING ACRES WHICH WE ALL KNOW 276 ARE CARRIAGE TRAILS, TOO. THAT IS THE MAJORITY OF THE NCA AREA. WHILE IT CAN EXPAND, LIKE, SO IF OTHER BUSINESSES OR DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS ALONG EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD AND A PART THEY CAN, MY BIGGEST ISSUE WAS THAT WE ARE CHANGING WHAT THE RMAL LAW FOR IT IS AFTER YOU APPOINT THESE PEOPLE SE IN E S TO WHERETIONS PEOPLE ARE THEN ELECTED AND WE ARE CHANGING THAT BECAUSE YOU CAN, BY LAW, MAKE IT TO WHERE PEOPLE WON'T BE APPOINTED.
THEY'LL ALWAYS BE APPOINTED UNLESS THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE APPOINTED DECIDE TO GIVE THAT UP WANT TO HOLD ELECTIONS WHICH I DON'I DON'SEE WHY THAT WOULD EVEN HAPPEN BECAUSE THE PEOPLE THAT APPOINTED HAVE THE INTEREST SOLELY OF THCITY AND OF THE DWL OPPER, REALLY, AND THEIR BUSINESS.
SO THAT WAS -- THAT'S BIGGEST CONCERN AND THE REASON WHY I CAME TO SPEAK, AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A PUBLIC HEARING BEING SOMEWHERE ELSE AT 2:00 IN THE AFTERNOON WHENWE DON'T HAVE MINE OPEN MEETINGS ACT IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY MINUTETO KNOW WHAT THAT WAS PUBLIC HEARING?
>> THERE WASN'T A BODY THAT D AT
THE TIME. >> THE MEETING WAS PROPERLY
NOTICED. >> IT WAS NOTICED IN ADVANCE AND WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
AAROAND I WERE THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE THAT CAME.
>> YEAH, BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT ASA TYPO.
I WAS, LIKE, THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING WAS ON THE 11TH AND THAT'S TYPICALLY WHERE WE HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARINGS OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE AT THAT TIME TO SPEAK ON WHAT I JUSPOKE ABOUT TONIGHT. SO -- THE PROCESS FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS -- PURVIEW TO HOLD THAT THE COUNCIL'S MEETING.
>> YEAH. ONE OTHER CONCERN THAT I HAVE BEFORE I CLOSE. IF THAT OVERLAY IS EPIACTED ENACTED IN CARRIAGE TRAILS TWO, IT WILL BE CARRIED TO THE NCA.
>> JUST LIKE IN CARRIAGE TRAILS 1 THE RESIDENTS PAY PROPERTY TAXTAX AND IT TO MIAMI COUNTY AND MIAMI COUNTY SENDS THAT BACK US
>> HERE'S MY QUESTION. THE TAXES THAT THE RESIDENTS PAY IN CARRIAGE TRAILS 1 WITH THE CRA, THE TIFF AND THE NCA INSTITUTED CARRIAGE TRAILS 2 THEY WON'T PAY A DIME MORE IN ANY TYPE OF TAXES TO LIVE THERE.
>> THAT IS CORRECT. THE COVENANTS THAT WE HAVE DRAFTED SET THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CHARGE AT WHATEVER THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE IS AT THAT PARTICULAR YEAR, AND SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY ANY MORE CT- 2 THAN THEY WOULD IN CT- 1 SO IT'S , EQUITABLE.
[00:35:07]
WE'OT CHARGING SOMETHING IN ADDITION TO THE MIAMI COUNTY.>> AND WILL THIS BE DISCLOSED BY THE HOMERS TO THE POTENTIAL HOMEBUYERS?
>> DOWN TTHEY DETAILDETAIL IF NCA IS OVERLAID AND IMPLEMENTED?
>> THANK YOU. ? CAN THE NCA CHARGE MORE AS THEY
GO? >> NOT THE WAY WE HAVE DRAFTED IT, BUT THEORETICALLY YES, BUT YES, BUT THE WAY THE STATE LAW WORKS IS YOU WOULD THEN NEED BASICALLY AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF 60% OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS AT THAT TIME TO CHANGE THARATIONS THAT WOULD BE ON THE PROPERTY AND YOU WOULD NEVER GET THAT. SO EFFECTIVELY, E WE'VE LAID OUT IN THE CLARATIONS AND COVENANTS SET IT -- THE MAXIMUM CHARGE TO BE WHATEVER THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE IS, THE NTIAL TAX RATE IS AT THAT PARTICULAR YEAR AND EVERY YEAR IT GOES UP AND DOWN JUST LIKE IT DOES WITH YOUR NORMAL PROPERTY TAXES. ORIGINHERE WAS AN ESCALATOR OR AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHARGE MORE. WE HAVE SINCE TAKEN THAT OUT.
>> YEAH. I THINK TOLD ME THAT A FEW MONTHS BACK. I JUST WOULD LIKE YOU GUYS TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT APPOINTMENTS ARE REALLY DO YOU E MIGHT NEVER BE A CHANCE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE COULD BE BE ABLE TO BE ON
THAT BOARD. >> IF I CAN K LEAHAD ENVISIONED IN THE BOAR APPOINTMENTS IS WHEN THERE IS A CRITICAL MASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THAT AREA WE WOULD CONTINUE TO EAT THE BOARD APPOINTMENTS LIKE OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.
WHERE WE SOLICIT INTEREST AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, BUT ACTUALLY HOLDING AN ELECTION WHERE CANDIDATES NEED TO, YOU KNOW, DECLARE CANDIDACY, RUN AN ELECTION, ET CETERA, THERE'S JUST A PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY WHEN TALKING WITH OUR NCA ATTORNEY, THEY INDICATED TO ME THAT NO NCA ACTUALLY FUNCTIONS LIKE THAT, JUST BECAUSE IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO FIND ACTUAL CANDIDATES THAT MEET AIL OF THE CRITERIA.' FILLED SEATS THAN EMPTY SEATS.
>> YOU COULD IMPLEMENT ON CARRIAGE TRAILS 2 THE SAMESAME THAT YOU HAVE IN CARRIAGE TRAILS 1, THE TIFF AND THE MONIES AGAIN WOULD GO TO MIAMI COUNTY AND THEN THEY WOULD SEND THEM BACK TO US.
>> CORRECT. >> OTHER THAN THIS BODY, THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATION AND THERE'S NOT A OUP OR ORGANIZATION THAT GETS APPOINTED AND ANSWERS TO WHOMEVER WHEN THEY'RE IMPLEMENTING THINGS LIKE AN NCA, CORRECT?
>> SO RIGHT NOW ON CARRIAGE TRAILS 1.
>> YES. >> THERE ISN'T A GROUP OR COMMITTEE LIKE WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT TONIGHT. >> THERE IS NOT.
GOVERNMENT. >> AND IT'S ADDITIONAL PEOPLE AND THE CITY COUNCIL
THAT'S HELPING MAKE DECISIONS? >> THAT'S CORRECT.
AND IT'S THOSE PEOPLE WHO REPRESENT BOTH THE BUSINESS AND THE RESIDENTIAL INTERESTS WITHIN THOSE DISTRICTS. SO THERE'S ANOTHER LEVEL OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THAT.
>> OKAY. SO IT'S AN ADDED LAYER ACCOUNTABILITY.
>> CORRECTTO WHO? >> TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WOULD BE IMPACTED AND THE BUSINESSES THAT WOULD BE IMPACTED BY THE VARIOUS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CHARGES.
>> THE INVESTORS WOULD ALL BE BENEFITED BY
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. JUST A QUESTION, AARON.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY FOUR PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE APPOINTED TO THIS NCA FROM THIS BODY, CORRECT?
>> WOULD THAT NUMBER EVER CHANGE OR IF WE INCREASE -- IF THE NCA INCREASED THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS ON THE, IN CA WOULD THIS BODY GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPOINT MORE MEMBERS OF THE NCA OR IS THAT BASED ON A PERCENTAGE? OR HOW WOULD THAT HAPPEN?
>> SO THE NC ABOARD A BOARD WERE TO EXPAND ITS NUMBERS IT WOULD BE DONE AUTOMATICALLY BY THE AMOUNT OF LAND AREA AND POPULATION IF WE WERE DOING THE VOTING APPROACH. IN THE CASE OF THE APPROACH WE'RE TAKING, THIS BODY WOULD NEED TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS EITHER FROM SEVEN TO NINE OR TO 11. THE DEVELOPER THEN ALSO AUTOMATICALLY GETS ADDITIONAL MEMBER -- REPRESENTATION SO THAT IT'S BALANCED OUT AND SO IT'S NOT SKW JUST FULLY ONE- SIDED CITY, REPRESENTATION. IT'S A BALANCED APPROACH
[00:40:04]
UNDER STATE LAW.>> THIS BODY WOULD WANT ONEONE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
>> RESIDENCE IT DOESN'T MEAN IT HAS TO BE CARRIAGE TRAILS, BECAUSE IT COULD BE EXECUTIVES,S
WELL. >> ONE OF THE MEMBERS REPRESENTS ONE OF THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES ON EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD BECAUSE WE WANTED RESIDENTIAL REPRESENTATION, AS WELL. OUTSID TRAILS 2.
>> ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. THANK YOU. SO WE DO HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON ADOPTION.
>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND FOR THE ADOPTION.
>> AND THE MOTION CARRIES 8-0.

[12. Citizens Comments - General]
THAT'S IT. NEXT UP IS ITEM 12 WHICH IS CIT THIS EVENING.TONY? >> FIRST UP WE HAVE MR. ROBERT LUNDE.
>> SIR, WERE THESE ATTACHMENTS INTENDED FOR DISTON?
>> YES. I DIDN'T MAKE ENOUGH BEE LAST TIME I WAS HERE THERE WASN'T QUITE AS MANY PEOPLE, SO, FIRST OF ALL, LET ME TELL YOU I AM GLAD I SOLD COOKIES AND DON'T DO WHAT YOU GUYS DO.
I SOLD OREO COOKIES FOR 36 YEAR
>> THANK YOU. I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL COPIESIF SOMEONE DIDN'T GET THEM.
IT'S KIND OF A DIFFERENT FORMAT, BUT -- ANYBODY NEED ONE?
>> OKAY. SO OF ALL, I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK AGAIN IN FRONT OF COUNCIL, AND AS I SPOKE LAST I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT OF QUESTIONS, LIKE TIMES, YOU KNOW? WHAT WAS HAPPENING, YOU KNOW, AND WHAT WAS THE BEST TIME TO MAYBE PUT AN OFFICER THERE TO CHECK THE SPEEDS AND DID WE -- MIGHT HAVE BEEN ANITA. YOU MENTIONED OR SOMEBODY DID THAT PUT A SPEED.
ANYWAY, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO IT WAS, BUT THEY DID THAT IN RECORD TIME.
BOOM. THAT FRIDAY, AND IT WAS AMAZING.
SO BUT THERE'S LOTS OFOF THAT I MADE AND AGAIN, I'M READY TO GO BACK FULL BECAUSE THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS. YOU WILLSEE AS THE PAGES GO I THE T. I GOT SICK OF TRACKING NUMBERS IN E DOTTED FLASHING WHITE LINES, BUT I GUESS MY FIRST QUESTION IS DO WE HOW THE SPEED DETECT UNITS ARE CALIBRATED BY ANY CHANCE? THE REASON I ASK THAT IS BAZZI CAN ONLY SEE SPEEDS WHEN I SEE THE SPEEDS, IT GOES UP TO 44. AFTER 44 IT'S A DOUBLE FLASHING LINE.
'S IT. SO -- AND I KIND OF GET WHY IT DOES THAT. CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? I KIND OF GET WHY IT DOES THAT BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT IT READ 80 AND HAVE A KID SAY LET' WE CAN GET THIS TO 90. CALIBRATION WOULD BE GOOD FOR ME TO KNOW AND AS LOOK THROUGH HERE, AT THE TIMES, YOU WILL SEE I MADE A COUPLE OF NOTES, BUT THE QUESTIONAGAIN, BACK TO TIMES AND DAYS, SATURDAY 12:00 TO 4:00, THIS IS WHEN I FIRST SAW THE UNIT IT WAS PRETTY BAD. YOU KNOW IT'S BAD WHEN THE OR TIVATES NG DOUBLE LINE WHICH TO ME MEANT OVER 44 AND THEN BRAKING HARD BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND IT'S STILL FLAS LE LINES AS THEY PASS THE SO EVERYTHING THAT'S INDICATED IN HERE STARTING ON 9/28 ARE TIMEARE DOUBLE FLASHING. I DIDN'T ANYTHING IN HERE THAT WE UNDER. SO ANYTHING I ASSUMED WAS ABOVE 45 MILES PER HOUR. THE OFFICER, I CAN TELL YOU THAT OFFICER PEREZ WAS ONE THAT I HAVE SPOKE TO A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND I THINK EXPEDITED THE UNIT TO BE PLACED UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND I HAVE SEEN HIM -- DID EVERYBODY SEE THE VIDEOS?
[00:50:01]
HIM SITTING IN THE ONE VIDEO WHICH IS A GOODGOOD LOCATION, BUT EVERYBODY ELSE SEES HIM, TOO, AS THEY'RE COMING DOWN CHICORY. SO -- IT'S FUNNYFUNNY ONCE THE OFFICER WOULD ENGAGE A SPEEDER ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, SENSOR REGISTER AND THE DOUBLE FLASHING NE ATAND WHAT I WOULD ASSUME OVER 44 MILES PER HOUR. AFFIC PATTERNSED. I THINK THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT PATTERNS, AGAIN, GETTING BACK TO TIMES.AFTER 3:00 IN THE AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF MOST PE HEADING WEST, THEY'RE GOING BACK ST. SO YOU GET AFTER 7:00 IT'S MUCH LIGHTER. THE ONE THING I CAN NOTE IS THTHE DIGITAL INDICATOR AND THE SPEED INDICATOR HAS NOT SINCE OCTOBER 3RD AND THE NIGHT BEFORE IT WAS FLASHING NUMBERS LIKE CS AND DS. SO IT HAS NOT WORKED SINCE OCTOBER 3RD AND THAT'S ANOTHER REASON I STOPPED, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE TIMES AND I APOLOGIZE ON THE FIRST PAIF YOUT CONTINUES ON THE NEXT PAGE.
SO THAT FOURTH GEMENT YOU SEE ON THE FIRST PAGE ACTUALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THIS PAGE, BUT THERE'S A BUS PICKUP AT 4640 AT 6:59 AND THESE, AGAIN, ARE JUST THE TIMES. IF Y OR WHERE I WRITE FAST. THAT'S ABOVE -- I PUT FAST IN THERE 'S PRETTY FAST. SO THE OFFICER ARRIVED AT 7:24 ON MONDAY AND AT 7:31 HEY GOT HIS FIRST ENMENT AND I DON'T KNOWWHAT HAPPENED.
>> SIR, WHAT'S THE CROSS STREET THAT THIS SPEED DETECTOR IS SITTING? THERE'S NOT A CROSS STREET.
KITRIDGE. >> I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT
>> IF YOU COME OUT OF STRATHAVEN YOU TURN LEFT AND IT'SITTING RIGHT THERE AND ATTACHED TO THE SPEED LIMIT SIGN. 35.
>> OKAY. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN AN OFFICER THAT HAS SAT IN THAT CONSTRUCTION
DID YOU SEE THE VIDEO? BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF THE PICTURES THAT I HAD IN THE VIDEO.
>> SO -- I GUESS, IT'S GREAT THAT HE SITS THERE, AND I APPR IT. AGAIN, OR A REMINDER, I KNOW JEFF, YOU WEREN'T HERE LAST TIME BUT BETWEEN 4780 AND 4730 E ARE TEN KIDS, YOUNG KIDS AND I HAD MY GRANDSONS OVER AND THERE ARE 12, 13, 14 KIDS. IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE THAT MONDAY, THAT FOLLOWING FRID NIGHT THE KIDS ARE OUT IN THE FRONT YARD AND SURE ENOUGH THE BALL WENT OUT TO THE STREET, AND I SAW THE KIDS GO OUT THERE.
I SAID GUY, YOU CAN'T DO IT. YOU CAN'T DO IT.
THERE'S A FIVE-MINUT TIME IF COUNCIL HAS QUESTIONS AND THEY'RE INTERACTING WITH YOU, WE CERTAINLY R YOU TIME TO DO THAT, BUT IN TERMS OF HOW I'M THINKING ABOUT THIS, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE WHERE THATHAPPENING AND THESE ARE HAPPENING IS THAT -- IT'S RIGHT IN HUBER.
THE OLD GLOBE INDUSTRIES. THE BOARD IS RIGHT FOR
US. >> AND IT'S A HIGH- ACCIDENT AREA.
>> SO, I MEAN, I THINK THEIBLE POSSIBILITY THAT WE HAVE THAT WE'RE CING, IT'S NO DOUBT IT'S CONCERNING. IT'S CONCERNING TO ME AND A CONCERN TO EVERYBODY SITTING UP HERE THAT, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN THERE WHERE PEOPLE AREN'T FOLLOWING RULES WHEN IT COMES TO BUSSES AND PASSING BUSSES WHEN THE RED SIGNS ARE OUT. SO THERE'S JUST WAY TO HAVE AN OFFICER AT EVERY SCHOOL BUS STOP AND FOLLOWING EVERY BUS WE HAVE AT HOME AND THERE'S NO WAY TO STTHAT AND WE WISH PEOPLE ULD OBEY THE LAWS AND WE WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE PEOPLE BE COMPLIANT AND THAT'S ANYWHERE IN THE÷÷ CITY AND J GIST JUST DO WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO AND FOLLOW ALONG AND JUST DO WHAT WE DO.
SO I TALKED TO JOHN ABOUT THIS. JOHN IS FORWARDING THE VIDEOS TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE. WE'LL FIND OUT AND HONE IN ON WHAT YOU CAN SEE ON ANY OF THE ACTUAL NUMBERS IN THOSE VIDEOS TO FIND OUT. LEGALLY, YOU CAN'T GO BACK
[00:55:03]
AND FIND SOMEONE FOR SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY HAPPENED. WEVER, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ONE OF OUR OFFICERS CAN'T SHOW UP TO SOMEONE'S DOORSTEP AND SAY WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.IF YOU DO IT AGAIN YOU'LL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE ON IT.
WE CAN D OUT WITH CAMERAS, YOU CAN'T CITE THEM OR TICKET THEM AFTER THE FACT. 'VE HAD THE CONVERSATION WITH PEOPLE WHO WE KNOW THAT WERE CAUGHT ON VIDEO TO HAVE -- WE'VE GOTTEN PEOPLE FOLLOWING SPEED LIMITS AND NOT FOLLOWING THE LAW.
I THINK THERE ARE AREAS AS WE HAS NEW TRAFFIC SERVICES UNIT THAT'S UP, WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE OUT AND ABOUT AND THEY ARE FOCUSING ON OUR TRAFFIC LAWS CITY AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE COT. WE WOULD MUCH RATHER PEOPLE BE COMPLIANT THAN SPEED IN THE HOPES OF NOT GETTING CAUGHT AND THEN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT COME ALONG WITH THAT.
SO >> I AGREE WITH THAT, AND I CAN APPRECIATE THAT. HOW DO WE GET THEM TO COMPLY.
>> WHAT'S THAT? >> HOW DO WE GET THEM TO COMPLY?
>> WE HAVE TO CITE PEOPLE AS THEY'RE CAUGHT.
AS THEY'RE DOING IT. AGAIN, THAT'S WHAT OUR NEW WE ARE TRYING TO LET PEOPLE KNOW AND JUST WHEN I LOOK AT -- WE ALL SAY IT UP HERE ALL OF THE TIME.
WE SAYED KAGDZ SAY EDUCATION IS ALWAYS THE KEY AND I'VE SEEN SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS THROUGHOUT SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES, PEOPLE ARE AWARE THAT THERE ARE POLICE OUT NOW AND THIS UNIT IS ACTIVE AND THEY ARE WRITING TICKETS AND OUR OFFICERS ARE WRITING TICKETS MUCH MORE THAN THEY USED TO BE. SO THAT HAPPENING. NOW AGAIN, WE'RE NEVER GOING TO STOP EVERYONE FROM EVER BREAKING THE LAW.
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO DRIVING AND SAFETY OWE ROADS PEOPLE WOULD JUST FOLLOW THE LAW AND BE LIBUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT JOHN WILL HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE POLICE CHIEF.
HE'S ALREADY HAD ONE THIS EVENING AND THEY'LL GET THE VIDEOS THAT YOU SUBMITTED AND YOU'LL MAYBE LOOK AT HAVING SOME MORE OF THE FLASHING SIGNS AND TRYITO GEI KNOW WHEN I GO TO WORK IN THE MORNWHEN GO IN BY THE CITY PARK EVERY MORNING THERE IS -- IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST YOU'RE GOING.
THERE'S A LIGHT FLASHING YOU TELLING YOU WHAT THE SPEED IS EVERY MORNING WHEN THEY GET OUT OF THE TOWNSHIP AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO AND WE'RE GOING TO LOOK INTO THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST A PROBLEM IN PRICHARD. IT'S A PROBLEM IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT AREAS AND THAT WAS WHAT I'D ASK IS THE CITY MANAGE TORE LOOK INTO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND GET A REPORT BACK ON WHERE WE THINK AND WHERE WE BELIEVE MOST OF THOSE OCCURRENARE HAPPENING AND ONCE WE KNOW OF A STUDY WHERE THOSE THINGS ARE HAPPENING AND WE CAN FIND OUT YOU HO WE DO TO BRING IT OMPLIANCE.
>> IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
>> I WOULD RATHER NO ONE GET TICKETED.
>> JUST GET THEM DOWN TO WHEN I SAY 50, 60 MILEAN HOUR, IT'S --
>> IT CERTAINLY IS AN ISSUE, AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT ANY OF US TAKE LIGHTLY AND ALL US ARE FOCUSED ON TRYING FIND WAY THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT WITH THE STAFFING THAT WE HAVE.
>> I'LL THROW OUT A SUGGESTION TO YOU IS THAT YOU MAKE IT A 25 MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT FROM SAY STRATHAVTHE END OF ST ITHAT AREA RIGHT THERE JUST WHERE THE KIRE. OR PUT A SIGN UP, DS AT PLAY PLUS THE SIGN.
>> I CERTA THINK THE THINGS WE CAN DO INTERNALLY TO BRING NTION TO THE KIDS
THERE. >> I DON'T WANT SEE ANYONE GET HURT.
>> WE ARE ON YOUR SIDE AND WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS G
FIXED. >> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND I APPRECIATE YOUR DATA.
