NEXT UP WE HAVE ITEM 7C. >> ITEM 7C.

CITY OF CUPID DEL MAKEBA WRITES CITIZENS ACADEMY PROGRAM PRESENTATION. MS. SARAH WILLIAMS AND MR. A ALX

ZAHARIEFF. >> WE'VE SUCCESSFULLY HAD OUR FIRST FULL YEAR OF THE CITIZENS ACADEMY AND TO KICK OFF THIS PRESENTATION BEFORE WE JUMP INTO IT, ONE OF OUR STUDENTS ACTUALLY

TALKED ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCE. >> HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A STUDENT. WAIT, ARE YOU READY TO JOIN THE

SENIOR CENTER? >> I'VE GOT A COUPLE MORE YEARS LEFT. I'M PROBABLY THE YOUNGEST ONE HERE. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW ME, I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE WHOLE CITIZENS ACADEMY. FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU TO SARAH FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER AND THE COUNCIL.

THERE IS A LOT OF MISINFORMATION THAT GOES AROUND ON SOCIA SOCIAL MEDIA. THAT BEING ABLE TO GO TO THE CITIZENS ACADEMY AND GETTING TO TALK ABOUT ALL THE DEPARTMENTS REALLY BRINGS A CITY TOGETHER AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYBODY IN THE CITY, WHOEVER IS WATCHING, TO REALLY TAKE PART IN THIS. I'M SURE THERE'S ANOTHER CITIZENS ACADEMY THAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO TAKE PART IN IT AND TO DIVE IN AND GET TO KNOW THE CITY A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

>> THANK YOU. >> WITH THAT SAID, JUST THE FACTS. I TRY TO KEEP TO THE FACTS FOR EVERY BODY. WHEN WE OPEN THE APPLICATION WE ENDED UP WITH 49 APPLICANTS FOR 25 SPOTS.

25 OF THOSE WERE SELECTED BASED ON THE DIFFERENT WARDS.

OUT OF THOSE 25, FOUR WERE UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE SO FOUR ALTERNATIVES WERE SELECTED. SEVEN WEEKS OF CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE WHICH MEANT THE CLASS EXPERIENCED 14 HOURS PER PERSON.

THAT'S A LOT OF TIME INVESTED AWAY FROM FAMILY OR WORK OR WHATEVER IT WAS JUST SITTING AT HOME CHILLING WITH NETFLIX.

FOR THEM TO INVEST 14 HOURS OF THEIR TIME.

OFFICIALLY 20 GRADUATED SO HE HAS A THEORY THAT DROPPED DUE TO PERSONAL CONFLICTS. TWO NO-SHOWED AND DIDN'T COMMUNICATE. AND MY FAVORITE WEEKS, ALL OF THEM. WE DID A SURVEY FOR STUDENTS WHO WERE DISSIPATED DURING GRADUATION.

WE HAD A BIG PARTY SO THANK YOU TO COUNCIL MEMBERS AND ALL THE STAFF WHO ACTUALLY CAME AND CELEBRATED.

I KNOW YOU GOT TO HEAR FIRSTHAND FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES THAT WERE GAINED DURING THAT SEVEN-WEEK PERIOD OF TIME. AGAIN, IT REALLY SHOWED YOU MET EXPECTATIONS SO WE DO HAVE ROOM TO IMPROVE BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM TO GROW. BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY AWESOME IT WAS SUCCESSFUL AS IT WAS.

AND KNOWLEDGE AND COMMUNITY CONNECTION FOR EVERYBODY FELT THEY WERE INFORMED AND CONNECTED SO IT WAS CORE GOALS EDUCATING.

SEVERAL OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS RECEIVE PHONE CALLS AND APPLICATIONS FOR BOARD AND COMMISSIONS SPOTS OR ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR SERVICES OR HOW THEY COULD GET INVOLVED WHICH WAS A POSITIVE OUTCOME AFTER EVERY CLASS.

CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT IMPACT. AGAIN, IT DEMONSTRATED THE PROGRAM'S LONG-TERM VALUE IS KEY AND CRUCIAL.

I WAS VERY PROUD OF THAT SINCE WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE CITY I WAS ALL ABOUT ENGAGEMENT WHETHER IT'S BUSINESSES OR COMMUNITY.

HEARING THAT PEOPLE WERE MORE LIKELY TO ENGAGE WAS A BIG WIN.

[00:25:02]

AS FAR AS THE PROGRAM, OF COURSE, YOU CAN'T MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY. IT HAPPENED DURING THE DOLDRUMS OF WINTER. FOR THE MOST PART, EVERYBODY KIND OF LIKE THAT TIME SLOT. THE DIFFERENCE AND SOME OF THEM FELT THAT THE PROGRAM WAS EITHER TOO SHORT ARE TOO LAW WAS MAINLY BECAUSE WE RAN OUT OF TIME SO MANY TIMES.

ALL WE HAD TO EXTEND A LITTLE LONGER WHICH LEADS TO ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT IN BREAKING OUT FINANCE UP TO TWO NIGHTS SO WE CAN PLAY JEOPARDY FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME BECAUSE EVERYBODY LOVED IT AND THAT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL.

COMMUNICATION, A LOT OF THEM SAID IT WAS GREAT.

I COMMUNICATED WITH THE RESIDENT'SES EVERY WEEK REMINDING THEM IF THEY NEEDED TO PREPARE FOR ANYTHING WHICH WAS REALLY GREAT. AND THE SESSION FEEDBACK HIGHLIGHTS, THE NUMBERS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY THAT THE FIRST NIGHT EVERYONE ACROSS THE BOARD WAS LIKE, THIS WAS THE BEST ONE AND IT WAS ONE OF THOSE WHERE THEY WISH IT WAS A LITTLE LONGER BECAUSE WE COULD DEFTLY TAKE A DEEP DIVE INTO MORE OF THE CITY GOVERNMENT 101, HOW THINGS WORK, HOW YOU GUYS OPERATE AS A COUNCIL.

>> WHERE THAT NIGHT WAS, TONY WAS 29.

TONY REMINDED ME. >> WAY TO CLARIFY, MAYOR.

>> JOHN HAD A LITTLE. >> ALEX WAS THERE I THINK.

>> OVERALL CONCLUSION, WE WILL DEFINITELY BE DOING THIS AGAIN.

EVERYBODY HAD A GREAT TIME. THEY LEARNED A LOT.

THE STAFF ACTUALLY LEARNED A LOT ON THE FLIP SIDE.

IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR SOME OF THE DEPARTMENTS TO PUT ON PAPER WHAT IT IS THAT THEY DO BUT NOW THAT WE'VE DONE IT WE WILL BE ABLE TO FIND TUNE AND TWEAK IT FOR THE NEXT ONE.

IT PROVIDES A LOT OF INSIGHT IN ONE OF THE DEPARTMENTS AND HOW THEY FUNCTION. THERE ARE TWO TESTIMONIALS.

THIS WAS A HIGHLY INFORMATIVE PROGRAM HELPING LOCAL CITIZENS UNDERSTAND ALL THE TRULY LOVE HUBER HEIGHTS. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO PARTICIPATE. THE EXPERIENCE HELPED ME FEEL MORE CONFORMED TO COME UP MORE AWARE, MORE CONNECTED TO MY COMMUNITY. THESE ACTIVITIES MADE EVERY THINK YOU WERE REAL AND HELP ME CONNECT WHAT I WAS LEARNING TO ACTUAL SITUATIONS. IT WASN'T JUST INFORMATION, IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE. I COULD TAKE IN AND UNDERSTAND.

THANK YOU FOR THESE ACTIVITIES. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

HERE ARE YOUR GRADUATES. I INCLUDED A PICTURE OF EVERYBODY AND THEIR NAMES ON THERE.

NOT GOING TO READ THROUGH EVERYTHING.

BUT OVERALL, I HAD A BLAST JUST WORKING WITH THEM EVERY WEEK, GETTING TO KNOW OUR RESIDENTS HERE IN HUBER HEIGHTS, HEADING TO KNOW OUR STAFF BETTER. LEARNING NEW THINGS ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING AND HOW THEY ARE DOING IT.

ONE OF THE REALLY INTERESTING THINGS.

ONE OF THE PARTICIPANTS ALSO SAID THEY WERE SO IMPRESSED WITH HOW DEDICATED AND PASSIONATE ALL OF OUR STAFF ARE ABOUT WHAT THEY DO. JUST HEARING FROM THEM AND MAKING IT A PRACTICAL APPLICATION FROM PARKS AND RECREATION TO PLANNING AN EVENT USING LEGOS.

EVERYBODY HAD A GOOD NIGHT PLAYING FINANCE JEOPARDY.

THEY STAYED AN EXTRA 20 MINUTES AFTER THAT CLASS SO THEY CAN PLAY JEOPARDY BECAUSE WE RAN OUT OF TIME.

IT WAS A GREAT SESSION. AND OUT EACH ONE OF OUR GRADUATES HAVE THIS BINDER HAS THEIR NOTES ABOVE IT WAS A GREAT PROGRAM AND THEY GET EVERYBODY WHO CAME AND PRECIPITATED.

IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. ANY QUESTIONS?

>> THANK YOU, SARAH. I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHERE TO BEGIN, BUT JUST WITH HOW PROUD I AM ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING HOW IT TOOK OFF. I THINK IT WAS A FANTASTIC IDEA.

YOU AND ALEX HAD TO KIND OF DO THIS.

[00:30:02]

I KNOW COUNCIL WAS VERY SUPPORTIVE.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA. ANYTIME WE HEAR ABOUT ANYONE BEING ENGAGED IN COMMUNITY AND REALLY UNDERSTANDING WHAT HAPPENS, HOW MANY TIMES WE HEAR ABOUT PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HEAR HOW THE SAUSAGE IS MADE, THEY JUST CARE THE SAUSAGES TASTE GOOD. BUT DEEP DOWN WE ARE CURIOUS ABOUT HOW THE SAUSAGE MIGHT BE MADE.

I THINK THIS IS A REALLY GREAT PROGRAM FOR THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO PARTICIPATED AND WHO SPENT THE TIME, HOURS AFTER HOURS EVEN OUR STAFF COULD BE DOING SOMETHING ELSE.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TIME THAT EVERYBODY SPENT MAKING SURE THIS WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE.

ANOTHER THING. IT SHOULD GO WITHOUT SAYING, PEOPLE DON'T KNOW BUT I WORK WITH SARAH A LOT.

ALL THE STUFF I DO FRONT FACING WITH THE CITY IN TERM THE MAYOR'S MINUTE AND FILMING COULD BUT SHE'S THE PERSON BEHIND ALL OF THAT, AND HELPS ME. THIS JOB CAN GET OVERWHELMING AT TIMES AND IF I DIDN'T HAVE PEOPLE LIKE SARAH AND TONY HELP IN KEEPING ME WHERE I NEED TO BE DOING THE THINGS I NEED TO DO, IT'D BE THAT MUCH MORE DIFF DIFFICULT.

I CAN'T THANK SARAH ENOUGH. HOLD THAT BOOK UP ONE SECOND.

HOW MANY OF THOSE, HOW MANY OF THOSE HAVE YOU MADE FOR 25 PEOPLE PLANNING ON COMING, ALL THE BACKGROUND WORK AND RESEARCH, ALL THE STUFF THAT WENT INTO MAKING BETTER SUCCESS, YOU'RE LOOKING AT HER. COULDN'T BE HAPPIER WITH HOW SHE'S REALLY TAKING ON THAT ROLE OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING AND HAS JUST REALLY RUN WITH IT AND HELPED US ALL OUT SO MUCH. SO THIS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE WITHOUT YOU. I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL AND VERY MUCH APPRECIATED OF THE WORK AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. SO THANK YOU.

LOTS OF CREDIT GOES TO SARAH BECAUSE THIS JUST WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT YOU. SO THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS?

KATE? >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

MIGHT THIS BE UPLOADED ON OUR WEBSITE? I JUST WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE FINANCIAL PEACE.

IS THAT POSSIBLE IN SOME WAY. THE JEOPARDY GAME COULD PROBABLY

GO. >> NOT QUITE.

>> JUST ASKING FOR A FRIEND. >> IT'S ONE OF THOSE WHERE IT SPURS INTO WHAT WE ARE DOING WITH OUR INFORMATIONAL VIDEOS AND TRYING TO CREATE THOSE PIECES.

THIS IS MORE THAT DEEP DIVE INTO WHAT IT IS THAT A WATER DEPARTMENT DOES. YOU KNOW.

IT REALLY TAKES THAT HANDS ON TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LIKE, IT'S THE WATER PLANT.

I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT ALL THE FILTERS, HOW THE PROCESS WORKS, ALL OF THAT. AGAIN, IT FEEDS INTO OUR VIDEOS THAT WE ARE NOW DOING AS FAR AS THOSE INFORMATIONAL PIECES.

WE WILL KEEP THIS TO THE CLASS ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE. PLUS IT'S A LOT MORE FUN.

>> THANK YOU. >> I'D LIKE FOR US TO CONTINUE.

THAT FINANCE NIGHT WAS REALLY POPULAR AMONGST EVERYONE.

>> IT WAS. >> SO MANY PEOPLE DIDN'T REALIZE

HOW ALL THAT WORK. >> SARAH, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WHEN WE WENT TO GRADUATION YOU HAD EVERY STUDENT GET UP AND SAY SOMETHING POSITIVE. EVERY STUDENT SAID SOMETHING AND GOT SOMETHING DIFFERENT OUT OF IT.

THAT WAS VERY NICE TO SEE. ALL THE KUDOS TO OUR STAFF BECAUSE THEY KEPT ON SAYING ABOUT THE STAFF THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND THEIR TIME, I WANT TO THANK ALL OF OUR STAFF THAT WAS INVOLVED WITH THAT TOO. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

>> VERY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM. >>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOU CONTINUE TO DO WITH OUR CITY P.I. WHICH WE HAD A PROGRAM FOR THIS ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, TWO YEARS AGO WHEN BRIAN, SCOTT, AND I WENT THROUGH THIS CRASH COURT IN ABOUT EIGHT HOURS FOR EVERYTHING THAT THIS CITIZENS ACADEMY DID IN SEVEN WEEKS.

WE LEARNED A LOT. BUT IT WAS MORE LIKE IT OPENED UP YOUR EARDRUMS. THE NEXT CLASS IS GOING TO BE

WHEN, ALEX? >> NEXT YEAR.

UNLESS SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BUY BACK A CLOTTING MACHINE OR HIRE

[00:35:01]

THREE MORE OF ME.

A CLONING MACHINE OR HIRE THREE MORE OF ME.

>> SARAH WE'VE SEEN THREE YEARS THIS GROWING TIDAL WAVE OF MISINFORMATION OUT THERE. WE SEE IT ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA.

YOU HEAR IT WHEN CONSTITUENTS COME UP AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT HOW WE GOT IT WRONG. THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO BATTLE THAT AND I THINK YOU GUYS ARE DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB OF DOING THAT. GETTING INFORMATION OUT TO CONSTITUENTS. LETTING THEM SEE SOMETHING TO NE HERE. I THINK YOU ARE BUCKING THE TIDE AND DOING IT RIGHT. THANK YOU.

>> THE ADVANTAGE TOO IS WE HAVE OTHER CITIES THAT ARE LOOKING AT US AS THE EXAMPLE AND US FOR OUR INFORMATION.

SO I'M SUPER THRILLED ABOUT THAT.

>> EXCELLENT. >> AND ENGAGED POPULATION IS WHAT MAKES ALL THIS WORK. ANYTHING ELSE?
