[ City Manager Report]

THE CITY MANAGER REPORT. >> GOOD TO SEE YOU.

WE HAVE A FEW THINGS HERE TONIGHT.

FIRST AND FOREMOST A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON IN THE PARKS.

FIRST WE REALLY LIKE TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO SOME CITIZEN VOLUNTEERS THE CHURCH THAT WAS OUT IN COMMUNITY THIS WEEKEND AND WE DID HAVE SOME DUMPSTERS DONATED SO WE HAVE SOME CLEANUP DONE AT THE PARKS WE JUST WANT TO GIVE THEM A SHOUT OUT.

SO THEN WE USE THAT SEGWAY TO HAVE VOLUNTEERS AND NOW WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY FESTIVAL THAT WE WILL HAVE. 'S SARAH'S TEAM HAS SOME KEY THINGS MET BUT LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEERS.

FIRST HERE'S A LINK TO THE VOLUNTEER SECTION A FORM YOU CAN FILL OUT WE ARE LOOKING FOR ANYBODY LOCALLY WHO WOULD LIKE TO HELP OUT JULY 3 AND 4. NEXT WE HAVE PRETTY GOOD DEVELOPMENTS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

THE FIRE DIVISION WAS AWARDED A COUPLE OF AWARDS FROM THE STATE OF OHIO WHICH IS A PRETTY BIG HONOR.

THE FIRST ONE, THE LIEUTENANT WAS RECOGNIZED AS PROVIDER OF THE YEAR FOR THE ENTIRE STATE WHICH IS A HUGE HONOR.

IF YOU LOOK AT BETWEEN 10 AND 11000 AND PROVIDERS HE WAS SELECTED AS PROVIDER OF THE YEAR.

HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING THE BLOOD PROTOCOL PROJECTS.

WE ARE ONLY ONE OF FOUR OR FIVE IN THE ENTIRE STATE DOING THAT.

SO FORWARD THINKING WORKING WITH THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR COULD BRING THAT HERE. HE WAS HONORED.

SECOND, WE HAVE A GROUP OF FIRE FIRE PARAMEDICS THAT WERE RECOGNIZED WITH THE STAR OF LIFE AWARD.

THEY TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THE CALLS AROUND THE STATE.

SERIOUS CALL WITH A POSITIVE OUTCOME.

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME GETTING THAT AWARD.

THESE GENTLEMEN UTILIZED THE CALL AND GAVE BLOOD TO SOMEONE IN THE FIELD. SO A BIG HONOR AND GOOD RECOGNITION FOR THE FIRE DIVISION THIS PAST MONTH.

NEXT, SOME REALLY BIG NEWS WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

THAT WOULD BRING OUR TOTAL ONE.$3,000,000.2026.

GO BACK UP TO THE BROWNFIELD GRANT WE ARE PROPERTY ACROSS THE WAY WE ARE CURRENTLY MARKETING. PART OF THAT WAS PART OF THE OLD I DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE SHOPPING CENTER BUT IT HAD A DRY

[00:05:03]

WE DID NOT FIND OUT UNTIL AFTER WE TOOK OVER.

THEN WE FOUND OUT THERE IS AN ISSUE BUT WE WERE AWARDED IN MAY $359,000 TO CLEAN THE SITE. THEY ARE STILL HERE AND HAVE A CONTRACT WITH US AND THEY ARE AGREEING TO MOVE FORWARD AS SOON AS WE CLEAN UP THE PROPERTY. WE ARE GOOD THERE AS WELL.

[ Culture And Diversity Citizen Action Commission Update]

>> GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE THE LAST TIME I WAS NOT HERE FOR MY UPDATE BUT TODAY I'M READY AND WILL GIVE YOU THE UPDATE THAT YOU DESERVE.

RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR THE HUBER HEIGHTS CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CITIZEN ACTION COMMISSION.

THE FIRST KICKOFF WAS MLK JUNIOR EVENT.

MANY OF YOU WERE THERE. WE COLLABORATED WITH THE LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEM. AT THAT EVENT WE HONORED - - AT THAT EVENT AND ALSO HAD A LUNCHEON WITH A MORNING WALK.

ALWAYS TRYING TO DO SOMETHING NEW.

[00:10:05]

OUR PLAN DEFENSE FOR THE REST OF THIS YEAR AS WE JUST MENTIONED THE JUNETEENTH CONCERT COMING UP ON THE 20TH.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE SECURED A RECORD NUMBER OF 20 VENDORS AT THIS EVENT. SO WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF SPACE.

THAT'S A GOOD THING. WE HAVE 26.

UPDATED. SHE FOUND SIX MORE.

DEFINITELY RUNNING OUT OF SPACE.

RIGHT NOW WE ARE IN THE PLACE OF SIGNING UP FOOD VENDORS AND ENTERTAINMENT FOR THAT EVENT AS WELL.

>> I WAS AT MY POSSE HERE FOR MORAL SUPPORT.

>> AND THEN FOR STAR-SPANGLED HEIGHTS WE WILL BE IN THE PARADE AS WELL AS A HOLIDAY PARADE IN DECEMBER WE DO THIS TO STRENGTHEN OUR PRESENCE IN THE COMMUNITY AND HAND OUT SAVE THE DATES FOR THE REMAINING YEAR BUT IN DECEMBER WE WILL GO INTO WHAT IS HAPPENING IN 2027. THE THINGS WE ARE CURRENTLY TALKING ABOUT WITHIN THE COMMISSION IS EQUITABLE HIRING PRACTICES. THANK YOU TO CITY MANAGER JOHN RUSSELL FOR INVITING ME AND THE COMMISSION TO BE ON THE SEARCH OR INTERVIEW COMMITTEE FOR THE NEXT POLICE CHIEF IN THE CITY.

THE COMMISSION IS ALWAYS LOOKING AT HOW TO GET TO CITY COUNCIL DIVERSITY TRAINING FOR CITY OFFICIALS.

THAT HAS BEEN ON OUR AGENDA FOR A WHILE.

WHAT WE ADDED THIS YEAR IS USE AND EDUCATION INITIATIVES.

WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING FOR TEENAGERS ABOUT KNOW THEIR RIGHTS AND THEY HAVE BEEN EDUCATED ON WHAT TO DO WITH THE RESPOND AND WHAT THE LAW IMPLEMENTS.

AND THEN ADDRESSING COMMUNITY CONCERNS WE HAVE A MEETING ON THURSDAY. WE WILL GO OVER THE FINAL LAYOUT OF THE INITIATIVES WHAT THEY RECOMMENDED AND WE WILL COME UP WITH WHAT THE COMMISSION COULD DO SO WHEN WE GIVE THE REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY EXECUTE VERSUS PIE IN THE SKY THING THAT WE JUST HOPE WHAT HAPPENED.

LASTLY THE COMMISSION IS FINALLY FULL WE HAVE THE NINE MEMBERS.

WOULD LIKE TO THINK -- -- THINK OUR MEMBERS.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD ALL NINE SEATS FILLED SINCE I HAVE BEEN SHARE. WE ARE DOING ALL THOSE THINGS.

AND WE ARE ALSO IN THE PROCESS COMING UP WITH THE INITIATIVE OF HOW IT ALL OF THE COMMISSION MEETINGS WE ALL GIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMUNITY TO SPEAK.

BUT NOW WE ARE TRYING TO TAKE THE COMMISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND GO TO WHERE OUR DIVERSE CULTURES ARE AND HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS SO WHEN I DO MY NEXT UPDATE HOPEFULLY WE CAN TELL YOU THE RISK COMMUNITIES COULD BE STRUGGLING WITH HER WITH THE VOICES OF CONCERN MAY BE.

>> OTHER THAN THAT I WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR LIAISON IS DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB HELPING US AS WE MOVE FORWARD MAKING CHANGES HE'S BEEN A GREAT HELP THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO WITH THE COMMISSION.

>> THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF THE RECENT POLICE SEARCH BRING A WEALTH OF INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE I APPRECIATE THAT.

>> ANYTHING ELSE? >> MAYOR GORE: THANK YOU.

[ OneOhio Settlement Program - Children's Medical Center]

CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTER. >> THANK YOU MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL. BEFORE I INTRODUCE WITH BRIEF HISTORY WE HAD A DISCUSSION AT ONE OF OUR MEETINGS LAST YEAR

[00:15:02]

IRONICALLY WHILE DOING RESEARCH I GOT TO HEAR A PRESENTATION FROM ALYSSA AND THEN WE STARTED A CONVERSATION REGARDING THE NEEDS OF SOME RESIDENTS IN REGARD TO THE CHILDREN'S CAMPUS HERE AT HUBER HEIGHTS. THAT'S WHERE WE ARE AT WITH THE PROGRAM WE WILL PARTNERSHIP WITH CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTER AND DISCUSSION WITH STAFF IS THAT WE KNOW THERE IS A SUNSET ON THE REVENUES THAT WE ARE RECEIVING BUT I THINK LONG-TERM AS FAR AS PLANS TO CONTINUE THE PROGRAM ONCE COUNSEL MOVES FORWARD WITH APPROVAL. SO I WILL TURN IT OVER TO CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTER STAFF.

THEY WILL TALK ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> GOOD EVENING AND THE DIRECTOR AT THE OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AS A COMMUNITY LIAISON.

I WILL TALK TO YOU ABOUT EM DR PROCESSING AND HOW WE CAN TREAT SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND GIVE BACK IN THE COMMUNITY.

SO JUST SOME NUMBERS. YOU ARE AWARE OF THE IMPACT OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE NOT JUST USE THE FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES AS A WHOLE. THE KEY NUMBER I WANT TO POINT OUT IS 19 MILLION CHILDREN LIVE WITH A PARENT OR CAREGIVER WITH THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDER. SO WE TALK ABOUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE AN IMPACT IN THIS COMMUNITY WE CAN PROVIDE IF A CHILD HAS A SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDER BUT WE WANT TO LOOK AT SOMETHING THAT IS BROADER. THAT TAKES US TO EM DR.

WHAT WE CAN DO ACTUAL ABOUT THE BROADER PROGRAMS FIRST.

WE HAVE LOCATIONS DAY AND AND BEAVERCREEK AND HUBER HEIGHTS.

SO WE HAVE COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY, MOTIVATIONAL AND EM DR IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS. AT OUR HUBER HEIGHTS OFFICE WE HAVE 16 MASTERS LEVEL THERAPIST ABOUT HALF THE STAFF HERE IN HUBER HEIGHTS. IN THE COMING MONTHS WE'LL ADD H PERSON. OUR THERAPIST SEE AN AVERAGE CASE OF BETWEEN 40 THROUGH 50 PATIENTS AT ANY GIVEN TIME THOSE THAT HUBER HEIGHTS I WILL ADD AH THERAPIST AND THEY WILL BE FULL AS FAST AS THEY COULD DO INTAKE. AND WE HAVE A WAIT LIST OF OVER 600 PATIENTS. THE BUSIEST TIMES OF THE YEAR CAN EXCEED 800 PATIENTS. THERE IS A TREMENDOUS NEED IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE MORE CLINICIANS WE CAN PUT INTO OFFICE SPACE WE JUST TRY TO MAKE A DENT IN THE LARGER PROBLEM.

WHAT IS EMDR? IT'S A STRUCTURED THERAPY TO HELP PEOPLE PROCESS AND RECOVER FROM TRAUMATIC MEMORIES.

IT USES GUIDED EYE MOVEMENTS TO HELP THE BRAIN REPROCESS THAT MEMORY AND NOT HAVE HIS OUTSIZED AS A TRAUMATIC REACTION TO WHAT THE TRAUMA CAUSED. SOMETIMES THERAPIST DO THIS WITH HANDS AND FINGERS ARE THEY WILL USE A LIGHT BAR IN SESSION AND SOMETIMES WITH CHILDREN'S AND FAMILIES THERE ARE PADDLES THAT VIBRATE THAT CAN GIVE A SENSATION.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IS HELPING THE BRAIN STAY BROWN DID IN THE PRESENT MOMENT WHILE THEY PROCESS THE TRAUMA AND THE ACT OF DOING THAT HELPS THE BRAIN REWIRE TO A HEALTHIER WAY TO GET BACK TO THE FACTORY SETTING OF THE BRAIN SO THEY DON'T HAVE THE'S REACTIONS OF BEHAVIORS DUE TO THE IMPACT OF WHATEVER THAT TRAUMA WAS AND A CHILD'S OWN SUBSTANCE ABUSE CREATED TRAUMA

[00:20:03]

EMDR IS AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT. SO IT TREATS A LOT OF THE ROOT CAUSES IF THE CHILD HAS A SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDER THERE IS AN OVERLAP WITH THEIR OWN TRAUMA RELATED AS WELL WITH THE ROOT CAUSES THAT DRIVE SUBSTANCE ABUSE OFTEN TIMES WE GET TO KNOW THEM. THEY DO TELL US THEY DO DRUGS BECAUSE THEY LIKE THE EXPERIENCE BUT OFTEN TIMES THEY ARE DEALING WITH DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AND OTHER MENTAL HEALTH SYMPTOMS THIS AS A TREMENDOUSLY SUCCESSFUL RATE OF SUCCESS.

THIS STARTED IN THE EARLY NINETIES.

AT FIRST IT WAS JUST SEEN ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES OR RESEARCH CENTERS AND THEN THEY CONTINUE TO PUBLISH ON IT BUT NOW IT IS AN INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR TOP TIER TRAUMA TREATMENT AND NOW WE WOULD LOVE TO BRING IT TO HUBER HEIGHTS.

WE ARE AT A POINT NOW WHEN FAMILIES LOOK FOR TRAUMA TREATMENT, THEY CALL AND START ASKING ABOUT EMDR.

BUT THIS ISN'T EVERY FAMILY SOME FAMILIES ARE JUST STARTING TO KNOW WHAT IT IS THEY GOOGLE WHAT COULD HELP MY CHILD OVERCOME TRAUMA THEY SEE VIDEOS. SO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS WE WILL PREDICT THIS WILL BE AN EXPECTATION OF THE RESIDENTS THAT THEY WILL EXPECT THEIR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS TO KNOW HOW TO DO THIS TREATMENT WITH THEM.

SO NOW WE WALK THROUGH HOW TO GET REFERRALS.

>> MY ROLE AT THE HOSPITAL IS GOING OUT IN THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE EDUCATION IN OUR PROGRAMS. SO OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE THE REFERRAL PROCESS AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR FAMILIES. WE ARE GOING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY PROVIDING EDUCATION TO SCHOOLS, PROVIDE OFFICE AND PEDIATRICIANS LETTING THEM KNOW WE HAVE THIS SERVICE AND THEN WE ALREADY HAVE A PROGRAM CALLED MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE CONNECTION THAT DAY IN CHILDREN THAT LINKS TO SERVICES THEY WOULD PARTNER WITH US WHEN THEY GET REFERRALS FROM US IN HUBER HEIGHTS THEY DO A SCREENING TO DETERMINE IF THE PROGRAM IS APPROPRIATE THEN WE CAN FUNNEL THAT INTO THE REFERRAL SYSTEM.

CURRENTLY WE HAVE AN ONLINE FORM THAT PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS CAN FILL OUT AND THAT'S AVAILABLE BUT REALLY THE GOAL IS TO MAKE THIS AS ACCESSIBLE AND USER-FRIENDLY AS POSSIBLE.

AND IF EMDR IS NOT THE DESIGNATED TREATMENT FOR WHATEVER REASON OUR GOAL IS TO LINK THEM WITH ANOTHER SERVICE IN THE COMMUNITY. THAT IS ALL WE HAVE.

BUT WE ARE HAPPY TO TAKE THOSE NOW.

>> MAYOR AND COUNCIL AND LIKE TO ADD A FEW THINGS NOT RELATED TO THE PRESENTATION. THIS WAS APPROVED IN REGARDS PUTTING TOGETHER A PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT ALSO ONE OF THE ALLOWABLE USES UNDER THE OPIOID FUND.

WE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH STAFF, A COUPLE MEETINGS A MONTH THEN I TURNED TO OUR RESIDENT EXPERTS ON COUNSEL AND ASKED.

>> COUNCILMEMBER KITCHEN: TO REVIEW BEFORE WE PRESENTED TO YOU TONIGHT. ONE OF THE USES WE TALKED ABOUT IS NOT PREVENTION BUT INTERVENTION EFFORTS WITH THE K-9 UNIT BY DOING THE PROGRAM IT IS A PASS-THROUGH SO WE ARE NOT RUNNING THE PROGRAM. THIS ALSO ALLOWS US AS A CITY TO GO AFTER MORE REGIONAL MONEY. SO TECHNICALLY WE ARE INTO REGIONS MONTGOMERY COUNTY IS REGION NUMBER EIGHT AND THEN MY COUNTY PORTION REGION 15. SO WE CAN APPLY FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO HELP THE PROGRAM AS WELL USING OUR OPIOID MONEY AND APPLYING FOR THE REGIONAL MONEY AS WELL.

>> MAYOR GORE: THANK YOU ALEX. OVERALL IT IS A FANTASTIC PROGRAM. FOR US TO EXTEND THE FUNDS TO GET THE THERAPIST AND THE CHILDREN THE HELP THAT THEY NEED. I THINK THAT'S AN ISSUE ALL OF US ARE VERY AWARE OF MAKING SURE THEY GET THE TREATMENT THAT THEY

[00:25:03]

AND I THINK IT'S NICE TO SEE ALL THIS TIME THAT WE FOUND SOMETHING SO WHEN WE SAY OUTSIDE THE BOX THIS IS THAT KIND OF THINKING THAT COUNSEL EXPECTED. I THOUGHT IT SOUNDED GREAT SO WE GOT ANITA INVOLVED IMMEDIATELY. SHE IS THE ONE COUNSEL IS THE EXPERT. SO I WAS HAPPY TO HEAR YOU COULD WORK WITH HIM ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND THEN WITH YOU GUYS.

I AM PLEASED WITH WHERE THIS IS COMING FROM AND THIS MONEY IS AVAILABLE NOW. I WILL LEAVE THIS PART FOR

MYSELF. >> YES.

THANK YOU ALEX FOR DOING THIS. I BELONG TO THE WOMEN'S AUXILIARY FOR DAYTON CHILDREN AND WE RECEIVED A BRIEFING ON THIS FROM DOCTOR BLANKENSHIP A WHILE BACK AND IT IS PHENOMENAL THE EMD ARE RESULTS OF THIS AND AS JEREMY STATED THE NEED HERE AND UBER HEIGHTS IS HUGE ONE OF THE REASONS THEY MOVED TO CENTER HERE. SO THIS PARTNERSHIP WILL BE SO BENEFICIAL TO OUR CHILDREN IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CENTER THEY JUST BUILT AT CHILDREN'S IT IS MIND BLOWING SERVICES THEY ARE PROVIDING THIS IS WONDERFUL AND GREAT FOR OUR COMMUNITY THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS, ALEX I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FEEDBACK

LATER ON. >> THANK YOU MAYOR I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK YOU TO ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE SUCCESS RATE OF AMD ARE LOCALLY OR REGIONALLY OR NATIONALLY? AND TALK ABOUT THE RATIO?

>> IS DIFFICULT TO GET STATISTICS A SUCCESS RATE BECAUSE WE ARE LOOKING TO JUST BETWEEN SIX AND 18 -YEAR-OLDS NOT A LOT OF NATIONAL STATISTICS AT THAT LEVEL BUT WHEN WE COMPARE IT TO THE TYPE OF DISORDERS WE HAVE COMING IN RIGHT NOW WE CANNOT DO THAT ONE : ONE BUT PTSD DIAGNOSIS OR ANY SORT OF TRAUMA DIAGNOSIS THAT COULD BE A SINGULAR TRAUMATIC INCIDENT LIKE A CAR ACCIDENT OR IT COULD BE A SERIES OF TRAUMATIC INCIDENTS WHERE YOU LOOK AT THEIR LIFE A SERIES OF EVENTS IT'S A SAD STORY THEY CAN COME IN FOR CARE WE CAN DELIVER GOOD EVIDENCE-BASED CARE WE CAN SEE SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AND TOOLS WE CAN WATCH US GO DOWN FROM MODERATE TO SEVERE TO A MODERATE RATING OR LOWER RATING.

AND WE CAN SEE THAT OVER 12 MONTHS OR SIX MONTHS DEPENDING ON THE PATIENT AND HOW FREQUENTLY THEY COME TO SESSIONS. THE MORE SESSIONS THEY CAN GET IN, THE BETTER. SOMETIMES 12 SESSIONS IN 12 WEEKS. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 24 WEEKS BASED ON AVAILABILITY. BUT I CAN TELL YOU WHEN A FAMILY DOES IT, OFTEN TIMES WE CAN SEE THE RESULTS IN SIX OR 12 SESSIONS VERSUS ONE OR TWO YEARS OF TALK THERAPY BECAUSE IT IS JUST HOW TRAUMA REWIRES THE BRAIN AND GETS IT BACK TO THE FACTORY SETTINGS. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BIGGER PROBLEMS WITH THIS MASSIVE NEED AND OUR COMMUNITY WE CAN ONLY BUILD SO MUCH SPACE AND BUILD A HIGHLY TRAINED THERAPIST TO DO IT'S. SO THE BEST WAY IS TO HAVE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT BETWEEN SIX AND 12 SESSIONS VERSUS 12 OR 24. EMDR GETS THAT FOR THOSE SINGULAR TRAUMATIC EVENTS BETWEEN SIX AND 12.

>> I WOULD ONLY ECHO THAT THAT IS VERY EXCITING YOU'RE BRINGING THIS TO HUBER HEIGHTS. I ECHO COUNCILMEMBER BURGE

[00:30:11]

SENTIMENT. >> CAN WE PROMOTE THIS ON THE

WEBSITE? >> YES.

WHAT WE WILL DO WHEN THE RESOLUTION IS PASSED THEN WE WILL WORK ON AN AGREEMENT THEN THERE WILL BE A JOINT PRESS RELEASE BETWEEN CHILDREN'S AND HUBER HEIGHTS REGARDING THE PROGRAM AND THEN THE NEXT STEP IS TO WORK WITH CITY SCHOOLS TO LET STAFF THERE AND COUNSELORS KNOW THIS PROJECT IS AVAILABLE.

SO WE WILL BE DOING PR BETWEEN SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE WEBSITE.

ONE THING IN REGARDS TO BUDGET SETTLEMENTS THE LAST RESOLUTION PASSED REGARDING THIS ALLOWING THE CITY MANAGER SIGNING IT WE DID RECEIVE ANOTHER SETTLEMENT THAT WAS SIGNED FIRST QUARTER OF THIS YEAR SO RIGHT NOW CURRENT REVENUE IS AVERAGING 55000 PER YEAR. WE DO HAVE SOME RESERVE FUNDS SO WE CAN STILL SUPPORT SOME OF THE K-9 ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS THIS

PROGRAM AND COST SHARING. >> ANOTHER CLARIFYING QUESTION.

WOULD YOU ALSO REACH OUT TO OTHER YMCA AND STAKEHOLDERS IN THE COMMUNITY? IS ONLY FOR HUBER HEIGHTS RESIDENTS? OR IN MIAMI COUNTY?

>> THESE THERAPIST SEE FAMILIES FROM ALL OVER THE AREA.

BUT THIS MONEY WOULD BE APPLIED TO THE SALARIES OF THE THERAPIST. SO ACTUALLY WILL FUNCTION BEST TO STRANDED -- -- SPREAD IT OVER TWO OR THREE CLINICIANS IN CASE A MEMBER GOES ON LEAVE SO IF THERE IS TO CLINICIANS COVERING ONE THIRD OF THEIR TIME ONE THIRD OF THE CASELOAD IS DIRECTED TO THIS PARTICULAR RESIDENTS.

BUT IF THEY WERE FILLED THEN IT WOULD JUST BE FIRST IN LINE.

SO IT HELPS THE HUBER HEIGHTS RESIDENTS GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. THEN THEY GO TO THE BEGINNING OF

THE WAITLIST. >> THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE YOU. >> A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR CLARIFICATION. WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF

ADOLESCENT BY WAY OF AGE? >> WE ARE TREATING AGES THROUGH SIX THROUGH 18. SOMETIMES IT IS 18 TURNING INTO 19. WE DON'T JUST SLAM THE DOOR ON THE. WE ARE EXPLORING OTHER TREATMENTS. EMDR IS PROVEN SIX YEARS OLD.

SOME CLINICIANS ARE HAVING SUCCESS WITH CHILDREN THREE THROUGH FIVE YEARS OLD. BUT AS WE BECOME MORE CAPABLE OF TREATING THOSE YOUNG AGES WE CAN GO DOWN.

>> A DATA POINT OF ON ONE.86 MILLION OF ADOLESCENCE.

DO THE STATISTICS INCLUDE ALCOHOL?

>> YES. >> BASED UPON THE SCREEN THE DATA IS SHOWING MORE ADOLESCENCE ARE ABUSING MARIJUANA NOW THAN

ALCOHOL? >> YES.

>> I HAVE GOT TO BE HONEST. THAT LACKS ATTITUDE SINCE I WAS MAYOR OVER NINE YEARS I CANNOT BELIEVE ANYBODY WOULD BE SURPRISED AT THE IDEA WE HAVE THE YOUTH IN OUR COMMUNITY AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY USING MARIJUANA.

IT IS A PROBLEM. >> YES.

NOT ONLY THAT A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THESE KIDS ACTUALLY TAKE IT AND ACCIDENTALLY THROUGH DUMMIES AND STUFF LIKE THAT THEY THINK OUR CANDY.

SO DUE TO THE CARELESSNESS OF THEIR PARENTS.

BUT IT IS THEY ARE. IT IS A RISK AND OF PARENTS ARE NOT CAREFUL AND DON'T PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN IN THESE KIND OF

THINGS HAPPEN. >> I LOVE IT.

[00:35:02]

SO IF WE CAN SEND OUT THE INFORMATION TO THOSE AGENCIES AS WELL. EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT ORIGINALLY BE FROM HUBER WITH A LIVE HERE NOW BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF FOSTER HOMES. ALSO I WILL RECUSE MYSELF SINCE MY ORGANIZATION DOES PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN CONJUNCTION WITH CHILDREN'S. I LOVE THE PROGRAM BUT I WILL

NOT BE VOTING. >> ANYTHING ELSE?

>> I AM GOING TO SAY SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS BUT OVER THE YEARS I HAD REASONS WHY I WAS ACTIVE IN JUVENILE COURT AND THE JUDGE WAS A HUGE PROPONENT OF THE JUVENILE COURT FOUNDATION THAT THE INVESTMENT OF MONEY AND USE IS ABOUT THE BEST OF THE BEST YOU CAN USE WITH DOLLARS. BECAUSE EVERY CHILD SAVED IS LESS LIKELY TO BECOME A BURDEN ON THE ADULT SYSTEM.

SO THE EXPENDITURE IS A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT AND PEOPLE NEED TO BE AWARE WHY WE INVEST IN THE YOUTH AND NOT JUST GIVE

LIP SERVICE. >> MAYOR GORE: GREAT POINT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE PARTNERSHIP. UP NEXT IS ITEM THREE D PUBLIC

[ Republic Services Presentation]

>> EACH OF YOU SHOULD HAVE THE COPY OF THE SLIDESHOW.

JOHN WAS KIND ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IT.

SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW I AM AMY I AM YOUR MUNICIPAL SALES REP FOR PUBLIC SERVICES AND THIS IS YOUR UPDATE SO THE CONTACT RENEWAL HEIGHTS WHAT TO EXPECT SO THE WEEK OF JUNE 22 RESIDENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE WASTE OR RECYCLING CARTS WILL BE RECEIVING THOSE WE WILL DELIVER THOSE AT THE CURB. PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS USE REPUBLIC SERVICES WASTE CARTS IF THEY HAVE DAMAGED AND THEY CAN MAKE THE EXCHANGE. RESIDENTS MAY BEGIN USING THE WASTE CARTS WEEK OF JUNE 29. THEY JUST NEED TO PLACE THEM AT THE CURB AND WE WILL BE GLAD TO START SERVICING THEN.

WEEKLY RECYCLING. THE CONTRACT RENEWAL TRANSITIONS RECYCLING EVERY OTHER WEEK TO WEEKLY RECYCLING.

THAT WILL START JUNE 6. MOVING ON.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION IS THAT THEY WILL BE RECEIVING WASTE CARTS BUT WHAT IF A PERSON DOES NOT RECYCLE.

>> THEY CAN'T JUST LET US KNOW AND WE WILL REMOVE THE UNIT.

>> I HAVE A NEIGHBOR WHO IS NO WAY.

AS SOON AS WE DELIVER IT SHE WILL CALL TO SAY PICK IT UP.

>> THAT IS OKAY. WE ARE MORE THAN GLAD TO CIRCLE BACK. ON THE NEXT SLIDE THE 2025 COLLECTION REPORT, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS IN THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN RECYCLING. DURING 2025 WE MOVED OVER 16000 TONS OF WASTE, RESIDENTIAL WASTE FROM THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS. AND 2100 TONS OF RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING MATERIALS. AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE CHART MAY IS GENERALLY THE MONTH WE SEE THE HIGHEST VOLUME OF WASTE COLLECTION. WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND TALK ABOUT WHO IS PARTICIPATING. IN 2025 WE HAD AN AVERAGE OF 13000 HOUSEHOLDS THAT PARTICIPATED IN WASTE COLLECTION. AND 11000 HOUSEHOLDS PARTICIPATED IN RECYCLING. THE CITY HAS APPROXIMATELY 86 PERCENT OF THE RESIDENTS PARTICIPATING IN RECYCLING

[00:40:01]

AS YOU CAN SEE WE ALREADY PICKED UP 500 TONS OF RECYCLING MATERIAL. THAT IS ON TRACK FROM LAST YEAR. THE WEEKLY RECYCLING DOES START HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR. WE MAY SEE SOME SKEWED NUMBERS IN 2026 AS A MAKE THE TRANSITION.

BUT WE HAVE COLLECTED ABOUT 3200 TONS OF RESIDENTIAL WASTE IN THE FIRST QUARTER 2026. BEARING IN MIND MAY IS THE HEAVIEST MONTH AND WILL HAVE THOSE NUMBERS TOWARD THE END OF JULY. LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT TO EXPECT.

FOURTH OF JULY HOLIDAY WILL NOT IMPACT COLLECTION SERVICES.

OUR TEAM WILL RUN MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY THE WEEK OF FOURTH OF JULY AND ENJOY THE WEEKEND OFF. THEN DURING THE MONTHS OF JULY AND AUGUST, THAT'S WHEN WE SEE THE HIGHEST TEMPERATURES IN THIS AREA. THE GARBAGE TRUCKS GET VERY HOT AND THE MOTOR IS IN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK WHICH MAKES IT EVEN HARDER. I TALKED TO JOHN LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR FOR THE MONTH OF JULY AND AUGUST WHEN WE SEE THE EXCESSIVE HEAT IN THE FORECAST WE WILL START COLLECTION ONE HOUR EARLIER AT 5:00 A.M. TO MINIMIZE THE DRIVERS EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT AND PROMOTE HEALTH AND SAFETY.

THE REPUBLIC SERVICES TEAM GENUINELY APPRECIATES OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS.

AS JOHN SAID WE ARE ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN THE COMMUNITY BY OFFERING CONTAINERS AT VARIOUS EVENTS WE HAVE A TEAM PARTICIPATING IN THE FOURTH OF JULY PARADE.

MYSELF INCLUDED. I WILL BE THERE.

WE ARE TRULY INVESTED IN THIS COMMUNITY WE APPRECIATE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR IDEAS, LET ME KNOW. MR. WEBB WE SPOKE PREVIOUSLY ABOUT INFORMATIVE LITERATURE WHICH WE WILL RELEASE THAT SOON.

DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE ANYTHING FOR ME?

>> CAN YOU ANSWER IF ANYBODY GETS THE'S RECYCLE BINS AND PUTS

REGULAR TRASH IN THERE? >> AND FORTUNATELY THAT IS SOMETHING WE WILL PROBABLY SEE. WE CONSIDER THAT CONTAMINATED WASTE. WE HAVE CAMERAS ON THE TRUCKS TO IDENTIFY CONTAMINATED WASTE THEN WE WILL NOTIFY THE HOMEOWNER THAT IS CONTAMINATED RECYCLING. YOU CANNOT DO THAT AND WE WILL COME UP WITH AN ACTION PLAN IF IT IS HABITUAL.

>> DASH IS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS I SEE NOW THEY FEEL IT'S ANOTHER TRASHBIN SO THEY WILL SELL THAT UP.

>> AS I SAID THERE WAS A BIG FACEBOOK THING ABOUT THIS I'VE BEEN VERY VERBAL ABOUT. IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE CONTRACT WITH HUBER AND SOMEONE PRIVATELY WANTED YOUR SERVICES, WHAT IS

THE ESTIMATED COST? >> I CANNOT GIVE YOU THE ESTIMATED COST BUT IT WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER.

WE HAVE A SIMILAR SITUATION IN CLERMONT COUNTY WHERE WE HAVE A TOWNSHIP THAT HAS A MUNICIPAL CONTRACT AND THE NEIGHBORING TOWNSHIP DOES NOT WE REFER TO THEM AS OPEN MARKET THEY CAN RECEIVE SERVICES FROM ANY SERVICE PROVIDER.

AND I WILL TELL YOU I THINK THAT MUNICIPAL CONTRACT I THINK THEY ARE PAYING $24 A MONTH AND THE PEOPLE IN THE OPEN MARKET ARE PAYING BETWEEN 32 AND 38 DEPENDING ON THE DENSITY.

I CANNOT GIVE YOU EXACT NUMBERS FOR HUBER HEIGHTS BUT THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN ANOTHER AREA.

>> SO IT COMES DOWN TO ALMOST DOUBLE.

[00:45:02]

>> CERTAINLY WE HAVE DISCUSSED THAT AND WE WILL BE MORE THAN

GLAD TO REVIEW THAT. >> WE HAD A MEETING BEFORE THIS WE WILL PUT A LINK ON THE WEBSITE FOR ANYONE WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE DISCOUNT THEY CAN SIGN UP THAT WILL TAKE CARE

OF IT LOCALLY. >> AND WHAT IS THE AGE?

FIFTY-FIVE, 60, 65? >> 55.

>> THOSE WERE TWO OF THE BIG DEBATES ON FACEBOOK.

[LAUGHTER] PEOPLE WERE SAYING WE SHOULD HAVE THE CHOICE AND THEN I SAID PAY THE EXTRA COST.

I DON'T LIKE PAYING MORE FOR MY TRASH.

>> AND HISTORICALLY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TRASH COLLECTION THERE WAS A TIME WE HAD FOUR DIFFERENT CALLERS IN OUR CITY EVERY DAY.

TRASH CANS ON THE CURBS EVERY DAY.

AND I WAS WITH ANOTHER COMPANY I WAS PAYING $43 FOR MY BILL.

YOU DID THIS BEFORE I GOT HERE. AND YOU SHOULD BE COMMENDED THAT WE HAVE A SYSTEM NOW THAT LIMITS THE TRUCKS ON THE ROADWAYS, LIMITS THE TRASH ON THE CURB AND GETTING A BETTER

RATE FOR SURE. >> MAYOR, WASN'T SURE HOW I WAS GOING TO INTRODUCE THIS. THANK YOU.

>> THE PERSON WHO SPEARHEADED US WITH TRASH IS WITH US TONIGHT.

FORMER COUNCILWOMAN WHO WORKED SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE THIS TOOK PLACE. WE HAVE LOTS OF THINGS TO WORK OUT LIKE MENTAL PROPERTIES COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, A LOT OF EFFORT GETTING THIS ACROSS THE FINISH LINE.

THANK YOU. MY BILL, THE DAY WE CONVERTED OVER I WAS PAYING $90 PER QUARTER TO WASTE MANAGEMENT.

SO IT WAS A LOT LESS. AND THEN MAYOR, I WILL COMMEND YOU THAT YOU WORKED WITH STAFF I THINK THE CONTRACT PREVIOUS WITH REPUBLIC THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE US A SURPLUS FOR GASOLINE AND YOU WERE ABLE TO GET THAT ELIMINATED.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THAT SAVED THE RESIDENTS?

>> IT WAS A LOT. >> A LOT OF MONEY.

AND THEN TO YOU WE HAVE BEEN WITH REPUBLIC FOR A LONG TIME.

YOU PROBABLY ARE MORE PASSIONATE THAN WHAT I HAVE SEEN.

SO THANK YOU. >> BACK TO WHAT YOU ARE SAY SAYING, WE WILL HAVE THE FORM ON THE WEBSITE IT IS FAR EASIER AND BETTER TO DEAL WITH AMY THAN A CALL CENTER WHEREVER THEY ARE.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.

SO THE MORE WE CAN SPREAD THE WORD WITH A REP THAT WANTS TO TAKE THEIR CALLS AS OPPOSED TO CALLING A CALL CENTER, I WILL TAKE ANOTHER FACEBOOK POST WAS ABOUT I WILL BUTCHER THIS BUT THERE WAS A BILL THAT WENT OUT AND THE NEW RATES WENT INTO EFFECT AND THEN A COUPLE OF DOLLARS SENT TO SOMEBODY AND A LATE FEE THEN THEY WIPED TO THE ENTIRE BILL CLEAN.

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE DON'T POST ABOUT IT ON FACEBOOK.

CALL AMY AND SHE WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

>> WE DON'T WITH THE SAME THING WITH THE LAST CONTRACT.

RATHER THAN GOING IN AND CHANGING THE BILLING CYCLE FOR 20000 HOUSEHOLDS, NOT EVERYBODY IS ON THE SAME CONTRACT DATE.

SO SOME PEOPLE IN THE CITY GET CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE BETWEEN THE LAST CONTRACT AND A NEW CONTRACT SO THEY WILL GET THE SMALL BILL FOR TWO OR THREE DOLLARS AND THEN THE LAST TIME WE WENT THROUGH THIS THE SAME THING. WHY ARE THEY SENDING A BILL FOR THREE DOLLARS WHY DON'T THEY ADD IT TO THE NEXT ONE? THE COST OF DOING THAT PROBABLY WOULD'VE GOT THEM A BILL FOR TEN DOLLARS TRYING TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE BILLING SYSTEM FOR THOSE THAT ARE CAUGHT IN THE CONTRACT CHANGEOVER.

THAT WAS SOMETHING I WAS GOING TO ADDRESS.

[00:50:01]

SO I'M GLAD IF ANYBODY IS LISTENING POSTED THAT ON THAT FACEBOOK BUT NOT EVERYONE WILL GET ONE BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY IS CONTRACT STARTS IN THE MIDDLE OF A NEW CONTRACT WITH THEIR

BILLING CYCLE. >> FIRST OF ALL, JOHN RUSSELL MY BILL BACK THEN WAS THREE TIMES WHAT IT IS TODAY.

SO THE SAVINGS IS AMAZING. I CAN ALSO SPEAK TO THE FACT I LIVE ON A COURT WE HAD FIVE CARRIERS ON THREE DAYS OF THE WEEK SO THE BENEFITS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

I DO WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON SOMETHING THAT WAS MENTIONED IS A REALLY FEEL THERE IS A NEED FOR US TO GET OUR RESIDENTS EDUCATED ON RECYCLING. I HAVE SPOKEN TO WITH THE GROUP AT THE SENIOR CENTER THIS WEEKEND I GUESS YOUR LIFE IS PRETTY BORING WHEN YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT RECYCLING.

BUT WE SAT AROUND AND TALKED ABOUT RECYCLING.

IT IS A FACT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A GRASP OF WHAT IS RECYCLABLE AND HOW TO SEPARATE IT OUT.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST IMPACTS IN MY RECYCLING JOURNEY SO FAR WAS A TRIP THROUGH SOLID WASTE AND WHEN THEY DID THEY SHOWED US WHAT COULD HAPPEN WITH PROPER RECYCLING THE BIGGEST EXAMPLE IS A THREE QUARTER FILLED BOTTLE OF KETCHUP THAT CAN DESTROY A RECYCLING BIN. THEY DON'T KNOW TO RINSE THE BOTTLES TO SEPARATE IT OUT AND EVEN FURTHER TO GO THROUGH THEIR TRASH AND REALIZE A LOT OF THE PAPER AND THE STUFF IF THEY WOULD JUST SEPARATE IT IS RECYCLABLE, I THINK WE CAN SEE THE NUMBERS ON RECYCLING, WHICH THEN OF COURSE WOULD LOWER THE NUMBERS ON THE TOTAL VOLUME OF TRASH WE ARE HAULING TO THE LANDFILLS. SO AGAIN I REALLY WANT TO EMPHASIZE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US AS THE CITY PROMOTE MORE OF AN EDUCATIONAL CONCEPT WITH RECYCLING IN GENERAL.

>> GREAT POINTS. >> LAST YEAR I HAD LUNCH WITH A FRIEND IN BEAVERCREEK. SHE WAS OPENING MAIL AND SAID I HAVE TO PAY THE TRASH BILL AND PUTS IT DOWN AND I COULD SEE IT. IS THAT FOR THE YEAR? THAT IS FOR THE QUARTER AND I SAID THAT'S WHAT I PAY FOR ALMOST AN ENTIRE YEAR SO I WAS SAYING THE SAVINGS ON FACEBOOK IF YOU WANT TO PAY MORE FOR YOUR TRASH TELL ME NEXT TIME NOT TO VOTE FOR THE CONTRACT BECAUSE THEY REPRESENT YOU BUT THEN YOU

FACE THE CONSEQUENCES. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[ Tri-Cities Wastewater Authority Presentation]

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. >> WE HAVE ONE MORE PRESENTATION AND THIS EVENING WHICH IS THE TRI-CITY WASTEWATER AUTHORITY

PRESENTATION. >> WE DID WANT TO INVITE DANNY TO GIVE THE PRESENTATION WITH SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AT DCA OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS AND THEN THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR DANNY TO ADDRESS

COUNSEL. >> THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE YOU HAVING ME HERE.

JUST TRYING TO GET AN UPDATE WHERE WE HAVE COME THE LAST 12 MONTHS. JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME SPENDING THE LAST 18 YEARS PUBLIC WATER WASTEWATER IN OHIO.

I STARTED IN HUBER HEIGHTS SO IT SPECIAL TO BE BACK IN WITH THE TREATMENT PLANT. THE FIRST FIVE YEARS WHEREAS WASTEWATER SYSTEM. I HAVE A CLASS THREE WATER LICENSE AND CLASS FOR WASTEWATER LICENSE WHY CAN MANAGE ANY WASTEWATER PLANT IN THE STATE OF OHIO.

SO TODAY WE WILL CATCH UP ON THREE CAPITAL PROJECTS TAYLORSVILLE EQUALIZATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, SEWER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, AND THE PLANT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AT WASTEWATER. THE LAST THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS HOW WE PAY BACK THE LOANS AND SOME OF THE

[00:55:01]

WE OWN AND OPERATE 700 ACRES OF LAND WHERE WE TAKE ALL THE BIOSOLIDS PULLED OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND PUT THEM ON THE FARM UP THERE. SO LASTLY SHOWING THE FLOWS PER COMMUNITY HUBER HEIGHTS IS 50 PERCENT OF ALL THE WASTEWATER FLOW OF THE 11 MILLION GALLONS PER TODAY -- -- PER DAY.

THAT'S HOW WE BILL SOMEONE WE SEND OUT HUBER REPRESENTS ABOUT 53 PERCENT OF THE BILL. THIS IS JUST AN AERIAL TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA. MOST OF YOU SEEN THE TREATMENT PLANT THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH. I HAVE A WHITE TAG SO AS YOU CAN SEE I WILL NOT GET INTO THEM ALL BUT THERE IS A LOT OF DIFFERENT MOVING PARTS OF THE TREATMENT FACILITY TO TREAT THE WATER TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE OHIO EPA.

SO THE FIRST PROJECT WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS THE TAYLORSVILLE EQUALIZATION PROJECT THE PICTURE HERE IS THE ABOVEGROUND STORAGE TANKS THAT WE CONSTRUCTED THAT WAS COMPLETED MARCH OF THIS YEAR BY PETERS AND CONSTRUCTION AND THE COST ON THIS PROJECT WAS $15 MILLION THAT INCLUDES THE PLANNING AND DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION AND THIS PICTURE WAS JUST ONE WEEK AGO WHEN WE HAD THE HEAVY RAIN WE FILLED UP THE TANKS AND WE COULD ALLEVIATE THE OVERFLOW ON THE GROUND. SO THE REASON WE BUILT THOSE TANKS MAINLY TO ACHIEVE LONG TERM STATE AND FEDERAL EPA COMPLIANCE. WE HAVE BEEN MANDATED BY A 2010 US EPA ORDER TO ELIMINATE ALL SANITARY OVERFLOW SO ESSENTIALLY THE PIPES UNDERGROUND ARE THE COLLECTION SYSTEMS THEY COLLECT THE WASTEWATER AND TAKE IT TO THE PLANT SUMMARY HAVE HEAVY RAIN HAS NOWHERE TO GO EXCEPT ON THE GROUND US EPA 2010 SAID YOU CANNOT DO THAT ANYMORE SO WE ARE FOLLOWING A MASTER PLAN EVER SINCE AND THIS IS PART OF THAT PLAN.

SO TO SUMMARIZE, WHAT YOU SEE HERE WAS TAKEN LAST FALL.

SO AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE STATE ROUTE 40 GOING ACROSS THE DAM IF YOU LOOK SOUTH YOU WILL SEE INFRASTRUCTURE SITTING THERE IN THE PARK SO THE SEWER LINE GOES THROUGH THE METROPARK WE TAP INTO THAT WITH A CONCRETE BOX IT WILL FILL UP IN THE WATER WILL GO TO THE PUMP STATION. SO AS OF THE WATER GOING ON THE GROUND WE FILL UP THE TANKS AND THEN THE STORM GOES AWAY A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER WE RELEASE THE WASTEWATER BACK TO THE PLANT. THAT WAS PHASE ONE AND THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED NOW. WE WILL START PAYING THEM BACK THIS JULY. THE SECOND PHASE TO GET OUT OF THE US EPA ORDER IS A SEWER PROJECT TAKING PLACE HERE IN HUBER HEIGHTS SO THE ORANGE LINE THAT YOU SEE IN THE CENTER IS A NEW 30-INCH SEWER MAIN TAKING FROM THE INTERSECTION AND ENDICOTT ROAD RUNNING SOUTH DOWN TO THE POWER PLANT.

IF YOU SEE THE LINE GOING EAST TO WEST WE ARE ELIMINATING THAT LINE THAT IS CURRENTLY HOW HUBER HEIGHTS FLOW IT CREATES A HYDRAULIC BOTTLENECK WHEN THE HUBER FLOW OVERLOADS THE SYSTEM.

SO WE BOUGHT THE EQ TANKS NOW HUBER HEIGHTS IS GETTING ITS OWN DEDICATED LINE DOWN TO THE PLANT AND THAT WILL GET US OUT OF THE 2010 ORDERS. WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS THE STRUCTURE WE ARE CURRENTLY BUILDING THE STRUCTURE IS WHERE THE SEWER LINE WILL GO THROUGH SO TO HAVE STEPS DOWN THERE AND THE SEWER LINE WILL GO THROUGH WITH A LASER FLOWMETER WE CAN

[01:00:03]

LINE INTO CHAMBERS ROAD. >> SO LASTLY I WILL TALK ABOUT THE LARGEST OF THE THREE PROJECTS THIS IS THE PLANT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND CONSTRUCTION IS ANTICIPATED TO START AUGUST 1 OF THIS HERE AND RYAN FOUR AND A HALF TO FIVE YEARS WE JUST GOT THE GUARANTEED MAX PRICE THROUGH THE PROCESS AND THAT NUMBER WAS $223,800,000 SO THE PICTURE THAT YOU SEE HERE WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE OHIO EPA FUNDING AGENCY LAST WEEK AND WE WILL GET THE FUNDING IN JUNE. THERE WAS A COUPLE THINGS WITH PERMITS PUSHING US OFF UNTIL SEPTEMBER.

I SHOWED THEM THIS PICTURE THEY REPRESENT ABOUT $2 MILLION OF FAILURES WE HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS.

AS WE WAIT ON THIS PROJECT TO START WE ARE TRYING TO OPERATE A PLANT THAT IS BREAKING EVERY SINGLE DAY.

WE ARE DOING THE BEST WE CAN BUT WE WANT TO RIP THE BAND-AID BEFORE WE START I GOT THE PROJECT THE FINAL NUMBER IS 223. JUST TO REMIND EVERYONE WHY WE ARE DOING THE PROJECT ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS AN AERIAL OF THE TREATMENT PLANT. EVERYTHING IN BLUE IS CAPACITY SHORTFALL SO EVERYTHING AT THE PLANT OUTLINED IN BLUE FALLS UNDER CAPACITY SHORTFALL IT WAS FINE IN 1980 AND THAT PROCESS IS NO LONGER SIZED APPROPRIATELY. NEXT YEAR WE GET A NEW PERMIT EVERY FIVE YEARS AND THAT TELLS US WHAT WE CAN DISCHARGE TO THE GREAT MIAMI RIVER. THERE ARE TWO PROCESSES OF BIOLOGICAL PROCESS IT CANNOT MEET THE NEW LIMITS WE ARE GETTING IN 2027 SO A GOOD PART OF THE PLANT IS MOST OF THE REQUIREMENTS FROM OHIO EPA. EVERYTHING OUTLINED IN RED IS AGING CONDITION CONCERN THAT IS 90 PERCENT OF THE PLANT AS WE HAVE TAKEN OVER OPERATIONS SINCE JANUARY WE ARE EXPERIENCING THAT EVERY SINGLE DAY. SO THE REASON WE'RE DOING THE PLANT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT THE FACILITY WAS BUILT IN 1980 IT'S FAIR TO SAY WE HAVE SQUEEZED EVERY OUNCE OF COMPLIANCE WE CAN OUT OF THE PLANT FROM WHAT WE ORIGINALLY PUT INTO IT.

WE ARE GETTING A NEW PERMIT NEXT YEAR SO WE CAN DESIGN THE FACILITY WE ARE GETTING A TOTAL PHOSPHORUS LIMIT WASTEWATER SYSTEMS HAVE NEVER SEEN BUT LIKE THE ALGAE BLOOM THEY MAKE THEIR WAY DOWN TO THE GREAT MIAMI RIVER THE CURRENT PLANT CANNOT REMOVE PHOSPHORUS. WE ARE GETTING A STRICT AMMONIA LIMIT. WE CANNOT FILTER FOR THAT LIMIT THAT IS HOW STRONG THE WASTE IS AND FLOW CAPACITY AND WE HAVE BEEN DINGED BY OHIO EPA WITH THE WASTEWATER THAT HAS TO BYPASS TO THE RIVER. WE WANT TO INCREASE OUR FACILITY BY 64 PERCENT. WE COULD TAKE 11.2 MILLION THAT WILL BE INCREASED AT 17.THREE. THE COMMUNITIES ARE GROWING AND WE WANT TO SAY YES TO THE GROWTH THAT IS COMING IN THE FUTURE.

THOSE NUMBERS WE MET IN 2023 DOING A COMPLETE PHASE.

SO THE TREATMENT PROCESS IS DETERIORATING QUICKLY.

I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO DEEP INTO THIS BUT YOU CAN LOOK AT THE PICTURE I SHOWED COMPARED TO THE MODEL THIS WAS A 3-D MODEL

[01:05:04]

>> SO THIS IS JUST ANOTHER AERIAL.

THE ONE WE HAVE SEEN BEFORE WE HAVE A DRIVEWAY WITH CIRCULAR TANKS. IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK YOU WILL SEE STUFF MISSING THAT REPRESENTS WHAT WE ARE DOING DOWN HERE AT THE PLANT WORKING WITH SOME OF THE SMARTEST ENGINEERS AND WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING.

SO A QUICK TIMELINE SO WE STARTED THIS IN 2022 GOING TO A FACILITY PLANNING PHASE FOR ONE YEAR AND THEN EARLY 2025 WE STARTED THE FINAL DESIGN THAT TOOK US ABOUT ONE YEAR THROUGH MARCH OF THIS YEAR. LAST WEEK THE CONTRACTOR GAVE US THE GUARANTEED MAX PRICE SO THE MONTH OF MARCH WE RECEIVED 180 BITS ON THE PROJECT THEN WE BID THIS OUT EXACTLY LIKE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO AND IT CAME IN AT 223.

SO WE ANTICIPATE CONSTRUCTION WILL START AUGUST THIS YEAR AND RECEIVE FUNDING IN SEPTEMBER AND WE ARE OFF TO THE RACES FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. HOW DO WE PAY FOR THIS? GREAT QUESTION. WE HAVE BEEN TAKING ON A SERIES OF LOANS ALREADY FROM THE OHIO EPA AND WATER DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY. WE WENT THROUGH OHIO EPA FOR THE LOANS BECAUSE THE FIRST THREE CAME IN AT 0 PERCENT.

MORE PAPERWORK BUT AT 0 PERCENT WE WILL DO THAT WITH EVERY PROJECT. WITH A CONSTRUCTION LOAN WE WILL GET THAT APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER THE 223 WILL BE ABOUT THREE.6 PERCENT THAT'S WHY WE ASKED THE EPA NOT THE O WDA.

WE ANTICIPATE REPAYMENT OF $10 MILLION AROUND 2031 AND THAT WILL BE A 30 YEAR TERM. I WILL WRAP UP WE ADDED MORE WORK AND THE TCA BOARD REALLY WANTED US TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT WAYS TO SAVE MONEY WE HAVE A PLANT FALLING APART AND WE NEED ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR.

LAST YEAR WE IDENTIFIED WE ARE NOT RENEWING OUR CONTRACT WE WERE HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE AND RECOGNIZED WE COULD DO THAT JOB OR BETTER FOR A LOT LESS MONEY. SO JUNE OF LAST YEAR THE BOARD VOTED NOT TO RENEW THE CONTRACT AS OF THE END OF JUNE AND IN AUGUST THE OHIO OHIO EPA GIVE ME MY CLASS FOR CERTIFICATION THAT ALLOWED US TO GET GOING ON THIS.

SO JANUARY 2ND OF THIS YEAR WAS THE FRIDAY WE BROUGHT 15 NEW STAFF MEMBERS ON BOARD AND IT HAS BEEN GREAT EVER SINCE SO WITH THAT SAID WE CAN SAY BETWEEN $600,000 ANNUALLY AND WE HAVE MORE CONTROL OF THE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE OF THE FACILITY. LAST YEAR I SPOKE ON THIS BRIEFLY WE HAVE THE CAPACITY FEE I MENTIONED 64 PERCENT EXPANSION WE ANTICIPATE THE FLOW COMING DOWN OVER THE NEXT 30 YEARS.

SO THE BOARD APPROVED A CAPACITY FEE IF THERE IS A DEVELOPER THEY WILL BE CHARGED $2500 PER HOUSE SO IT'S ANOTHER FEE AND GOES ON THE DEVELOPMENT. WE WANT THE RESIDENTS TO FEEL THE REASON WE ARE GROWING IS BECAUSE OF FUTURE GROWTH THEIR FAIR SHARE. THAT IS IT.

LITTLE MORE CONDENSED THAN LAST TIME.

I JUST WANT TO THINK MR. RUSSELL AND EVERYBODY I HAVE WORKED W WITH. THE WHOLE TEAM.

I APPRECIATE IT. >> MAYOR GORE: THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. WE APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION.

IT'S A GOOD REFRESHER FROM A FEW YEARS AGO.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS? >> I HAVE A COUPLE.

[01:10:01]

PUTTING THE PLAN TOGETHER? >> IT WASN'T UPDATED BECAUSE THE SYSTEM DID NOT CHANGE. THE MASTER PLAN SAID TO ELIMINATE ALL OVERFLOWS YOU NEED TO DO XYZ.

THIS THE SYSTEM NEVER CHANGED. WE ADDED X TO SEE HOW IT WOULD RUN AND THEN IN 2021 WE STARTED Z BECAUSE THE INFRASTRUCTURE DID NOT CHANGE THERE WAS NO REASON TO CHANGE THE MASTER PLAN.

>> SEE CHANGE THE ALGORITHM TO ADJUST FOR INCREASED CAPACITY

YOU ARE ANTICIPATING? >> WE DIDN'T DESIGN IT BASED ON THE 2009 PLAN. IT SAYS THIS SO NOW IT'S REALLY

LOOK AT IT. >> ALSO HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE

ROUTE AND IN CHAMBERSBURG. >> SO WE START HERE WITH THAT CONCRETE STRUCTURE. IS WANT TO MAKE SURE MY LASER WAS NOT BOUNCING BACK SO WE START AT THE JUNCTION OF ENDICOTT YOU HAVE THE PEEWEE LEAGUE AND SO THEN WE GO DOWN THROUGH THE FIELD AND CUT THROUGH ANOTHER FIELD THEN WE GO TO ENDICOTT IN CROSS ACROSS POWELL WE HAVE THE EASEMENT

PLANT. >> ISN'T THAT SIMILAR WHERE THE BYPASS IS PROPOSED? WE ARE NOT GOING TO DIG TWICE?

>> [INDISCERNABLE]

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> PREVIOUS REPORTS HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE IMPACT OF GROUNDWATER AND STORM WATER INFILTRATION AND THE COST ASSOCIATED WE HAVE VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED THAT'S AND

TO TIGHTEN THE SYSTEM UP? >> I CANNOT SPEAK FOR HUBER PER SE BUT I KNOW THEY HAVE PROGRAMS IN PLACE FOR THAT IS IN TRI-CITIES THERE WAS A 2 MILLION-DOLLAR PROJECT IN 2021 TO ELIMINATE. BUT I DO KNOW ALL THREE CITIES

DO THAT. >> WE HAVE INCREASED THE LINE BUDGET EVERY YEAR TO ADDRESS THIS BUT WE BUDGETED HALF A MILLION DOLLARS SPECIFICALLY FOR INI.

>> DOES NOT HAVE ANY DIRECT PAY BACK?

>> YES BECAUSE EVERY TIME WE TREAT RAIN WATER WE ARE SPENDING MONEY AND NOT COLLECTING REV REVENUE.

>> MAYOR GORE: ANYTHING ELSE? >> IS A $600,000 WE ARE SAVING

IS THAT A NET SAVINGS? >> AND THE AMOUNT OF DEBT THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BORROW OVER 10 YEARS? AT ANY TIME CAN RECALL AND REFINANCE THAT AS THE RATES

CHANGE? >> YES.

I DON'T KNOW SPECIFICALLY AT WHAT POINT.

BUT I HAVE SPOKE ABOUT THAT. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[ Purchase Of Dump Trucks - Not To Exceed Amount Amendment]

LEVEL THREE CHARGER. >> MAYOR GORE: ANY QUESTIONS?

ANY OBJECTIONS? >> I HAVE A QUESTION.

I THINK I ASKED THIS QUESTION BEFORE.

DO WE KNOW WHAT IS A COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS ON THESE CHARGERS? WE KNOW HOW MUCH THEY ARE USED

ARE BRINGING IN REVENUE? >> WE DO.

WE ARE RECOVERING ELECTRICAL COST WE ARE NOT FULLY RECOVERING OUR COST FOR THE SYSTEM SUBSCRIPTION BUT WE ARE WORKING ON A PRICING SCHEME TO GET CLOSER.

I THINK IF WE HAD A HIGHER UTILIZATION RATE THAN WE DO WE WOULD BE GENERATING MORE MONEY TO RECOVER COST.

'S RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A UTILIZATION RATE OF 4 PERCENT WE

ARE WORKING ON INCREASING THAT. >> WAS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEVEL TWO AND LEVEL THREE?

>> SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER CHARGING.

LEVEL THREE IS A 30 MINUTE CHARGE VERSUS FOUR HOURS.

LEVEL TWO IS GREAT FOR FLEETS WE USE THOSE FOR OUR OWN FACILITIES

TO ELECTRIFY OUR FLEET. >> THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR GORE: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
