[00:00:05]
WELCOME TO THE CITY HUBER HEIGHTS COUNCIL MEETING.
[2. Invocation - Pastor Randy Griffith Of The Free Methodist Church At 6875 Old Troy Pike, Huber Heights, Ohio]
SEPTEMBER 14, 2026. 6:03.WE'LL HAVE OUR INVOCATION BY PASTOR RANDY GRIFFITH.
GOOD TO SEE YOU, SIR. [INAUDIBLE]
>> THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD. I SHALL NOT WANT.
>> MAKE SURE HE HEARS US. [LAUGHTER]
>> HE MAKES ME LAY DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES.
HE LEADS ME BESIDE STILL WATERS. HE RESTORES MY SOUL.
HE GUIDES ME IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR HIS NAME STAKE. EVEN THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL, FOR YOU ARE WITH ME. YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME. YOU PREPARE A TABLE BEFORE ME IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES. YOU ANOINT MY HEAD WITH OIL.
MY CUP OVERFLOWS. SURELY GOODNESS AND LOVE WILL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.
AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.
FOREVER. BEFORE DAVID BECAME KING, HE WAS A SHEPHERD. DAVID LEARNED THAT AS HE CARED FOR THE LIVES OF HIS SHEEP EVEN MORE SO GOD TOOK CARE OF HIM.
DAVID IS LOOKING AT HIMSELF AS A SHEEP, AND THE LORD AS HIS SHEPHERD. WHO CARES FOR AND PROVIDES FOR HIM. SHEEP CARE NOTHING ABOUT CONSERVATION. THEY EAT GRASS DOWN TO THE DIRT.
AND SO THEY NEED TO BE MOVED TO FRESH GRASS AND CLEAN WATER EVERY FEW DAYS. SHEEP MUST BE SHEERED AND CLEANED BECAUSE THEY'RE PRONE TO DISEASE, SWEAT, DIRT AND BUGS.
AND THEY'RE UNABLE TO CLEAN THEIR OWN WOUNDS.
THEY NEED A SHEPHERD. SHEEP ARE NOT VERY SMART.
THEY'RE PRONE TO WANDER AND WANDER OFF EASILY, LOSING THEIR WAY, NOT ABLE TO FINDS THEIR WAY BACK.
THEY FOLLOW EACH OTHER BLINDLY WITHOUT THINKING.
IF ONE WALKS OFF A CLIFF, A HUNDRED MAY FOLLOW.
THEY NEED SOMEONE WISER. SHEEP ARE NOT VERY STRONG.
THEY ONLY KNOW HOW TO RUN AWAY OR FREEZE WHEN WHEN DANGER IS NEAR. YOU'VE HEARD OF FIGHT OR FLIGHT.
WITH SHEEP IT'S EITHER FLIGHT OR FREEZE.
THEY ARE DEFENCELESS AGAINST PREDATORS.
THEY NEED SOMEONE STRONGER TO KEEP THEM SAFE.
JESUS SAID, I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD.
I KNOW MY SHEEP AND MY SHEEP KNOW ME.
JUST AS THE FATHER KNOWS ME, I KNOW THE FATHER.
AND I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR THE SHEEP.
I CALL THEM OUT AND GO AHEAD OF THEM, AND MY SHEEP FOLLOW ME BECAUSE THEY KNOW MY VOICE. THEY WILL NEVER FOLLOW THE VOICE OF STRANGERS. IN FACT, THEY WILL RUN ARE AWAY FROM THEM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT RECOGNIZE A STRANGER'S VOICE.
OF ALL THE STRANGE THINGS BEING PROMOTED IN THE WORLD TODAY, DO YOU KNOW THE VOICE OF THE LORD? BECAUSE ONLY HE WILL NEVER LEAD YOU ASTRAY. LET'S PRAY.
FATHER, MORE THAN EVER, WE AS A NATION NEED TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE YOUR VOICE AND BE WILLING TO FOLLOW IT.
SO, LORD, FROM THE HIGHEST LEVEL TO THE LOWEST LEVEL, HELP US TO BE THAT KIND OF PEOPLE. AND LORD, I JUST ASK FOR YOU TO GUIDE THIS MEETING TONIGHT, IN CHRIST'S NAME, AMEN.
[4. Pledge Of Allegiance]

AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, AS YOU AND I HAD HAD A CONVERSATION, I THINK IT'S REALLY AMAZING WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN LEADERSHIP SHOWS UP, AND I JUST COULDN'T BE MORE HAPPY WITH THE PLACE THAT OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT IS IN. THIS CITY IS IT SEEING SOME GREAT SUCCESS FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS.

SO I'M GOING TO SIT DOWN IN A SECOND.
BUT I MET YOU AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT AN AMAZING PERSON YOU ARE, AND I KNOW YOU PUT A LOT OF SERVICE IN HERE.
THIS MAY NOT LOOK LIKE A BIG AGENDA, BUT IT IS, SO I'M GOING TO SIT DOWN. I MET WITH MR. RUSSELL THE OTHER DAY. I LOOK FORWARD TOWY WOULDING WITH HIM. LIKE I SAID, MR. GORE AND ANYONE ELSE F THERE'S ANYTHING, PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME, AND I WILL DEFINITELY DO ALL I CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WORK ON OUR PARTNERSHIP TOGETHER. BECAUSE YOU IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR HUBER HEIGHTS. I'M NOT FROM THE DAYTON AREA.
I'M FROM CINCINNATI, OHIO. AND THE ONLY THING I KNEW ABOUT THIS 25 YEARS AGO I WAS TEACHING AND COACHING IN PRINCETON CITY SCHOOLS AND I MET COACH FERNANDEZ, AND HE INVITED ME UP HERE, AND ALL I KNEW -- HE SAID GET OFF AT EATMORE EXIT, TURN RIGHT, YOU'LL SEE THE JOLLY PIRATE DONUT SHOP.
TURN THERE. I LOOK FOR THAT SAME SHOP.
BUT I TELL YOU, YOU GUYS HAVE AN AMAZING PLACE HERE.
AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE FROM A PLACE, IT'S HARD TO SIT BACK AND LOOK AROUND YOU, BUT COMING FROM THE US UP HERE, YOU HAVE AMAZING PEOPLE. YOU HAVE AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP FOR OUR STUDENTS.
NOT JUST THE STUNLTSZ THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
WE HAVE STUDENTS WHEN THEY GET OUT OF SCHOOL IT'S IMPORTANT THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO. WHEN YOU HAVE IDLE TIME YOU'RE GONNA GET IN TROUBLE. SO I'M EXCITED TO SEE THE GROWTH THAT YOU HAVE. AND EVEN FURTHER MORE, WE SAY THAT WE WANT OUR KIDS TO EITHER ENROLL, ENLIST OR BE EMPLOYED.
WHEN THEY GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL.
IF IT'S NOT ONE OF THOSE THREE THINGS, WE FAILED THEM.
AND SO I'M ALSO LOOKING AT A PARTNERSHIP WHERE WE CAN TRULY START DOING SOME COLLABORATING WITH THE BUSINESSES HERE, AND TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR KIDS ARE EMPLOYABLE IF THEY'RE NOT GONNA ENLIST OR ENROLL IN SOME AFTER SCHOOL INSTITUTION.

(second reading)]
>> OKAY. LET'S JUMP INTO THE AGENDA THIS EVENING AND WE'LL START WITH ITEM 10A, PENDING BUSINESS.
TONY. >> ITEM 10A, AN ARRESTED ORDNANCE TO APPROVE A TRUCK MAINTENANCE BUILDING A2,000 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE BUILDING AND PARKING FOR UP TO 43 TRUCKS OR TRAILERS FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4742 WEST NATIONAL ROAD AND FURTHER IDENTIFIED AS PARCEL NUMBER A29-000705 ON THE MIAMI COUNTY AUDITOR'S MAP, AND TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION CASE BDP26-19 AT THE SECOND READING.
>> OKAY. SO I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND THAT WE MOVE THIS ITEM ON TO A THIRD READING AND BRING IT BACK TO THE WORK SESSION ON TUESDAY. I REALIZE WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE HERE WHO WISH TO SPEAK THIS EVENING, BUT I WANTED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS THEN WE'LL GET TO THE DISCUSSION.
ANY OBJECTION OF MOVING THIS TO A THIRD READING? SEEING NONE, THAT'S WHAT WE'LL DO. SO LET'S BRING UP OUR
FIRST WE HAVE IAN MANGER, IF YOU'D PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.
>> GOOD EVENING. JUST FOR THE RECORD, I'M IAN MANGER. I OWN THE PROPERTY AT 2591 BLUE FLAG STREET DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THIS SITE.
I'VE SPOKEN BOTH AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING, THE FIRST COUNCILLOR READING, AND I WANT TO THANK COUNCIL AND STAFF FOR THE REAL PROGRESS MADE ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE SINCE THEN.
I ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY'VE BEEN RESPONSIVE THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, INCLUDING LAST WEEK'S WORK SESSION, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. I WANT TO NOTE, ALONG WITH MY WIFE AND I, MY NEIGHBOURS, ALL ON BLUE FLAG, ARE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS DEVELOPMENT. AND SEVERAL OF THEM ARE HERE TONIGHT AS WELL. A LOT OF GOOD TECHNICAL PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE. MUCH OF IT DRAWN YOU THE LAST WEEK BY COUNCIL WOMAN BURGESS' FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS.
I APPRECIATE THAT. WE HEARD A COMMITMENT TO SPECIALIZED STORM WATER ANALYSIS.
NOT JUST STANDARD ENGINEERING SIGN OFF.
WE HEARD THAT THE FIRE CHIEF CONFIRMED TRANSFORMERS ARE TRANSPORTED AND STORED EMPTY WITH NO HAZARD, WHICH WAS A CONCERN OF COUNCILMAN WEB'S RAISED DIRECTLY AT THE FIRST WORK SESSION. AND WE ALSO HEARD THE APPLICANT IS OPEN TO ACCOMMODATING ADDITIONAL TREES AND FENCE LINE FOR SCREENING. I'M GLAD TO HEAR ALL THAT.
BUT THAT'S EXACTLY THE POINT WE MADE AT THE LAST WORK SESSION.
AND I WANT TO DO IT BETTER THAN I DID.
THE ENGINEERING, THE TRAILER SIZES, THE SKILLED TRUCK SIZES, ET CETERA, CAN BE RESOLVED. THE MORE THESE TECHNICAL QUESTIONS GET ANSWERED, THE CLEARER IT BECOMES THAT THIS LOCATION IS THE ONE ISSUE ACTUALLY LEFT ON THE TABLE.
[00:20:03]
I ASK THAT EVERY MEMBER OF COUNCIL BE RAISED.DOES THIS SPECIFIC PROPERTY MAKE SENSE FOR THIS SPECIFIC BUSINESS SO CLOSE TO THE HOMES AND THE 450 TO $650,000 RANGE? OR IS THERE SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE CITY THAT MAKES MORE SENSE FOR IT? THE MAYOR ALSO EXPLAINED WHY THIS IS IN THE PLANNED INDUSTRIAL RATHER THAN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. SPECIFICALLY SO THAT THEY HAVE TO COME BACK BEFORE FOR A REAL DECISION.
NOT AN AUTOMATIC APPROVAL. I'D ASK THAT COUNCIL USE THAT DISCRETION HERE. ALSO AT THE WORK SESSION, COUNCIL WOMAN BAKER ASKED THE APPLICANT DIRECTLY ABOUT HIS TRAILER DIMENSIONS AND TOELDZ HIM PLAINLY A TYPICAL TRAILER IS 50 FEET LONG AND ONLY 8 FEET WIDE.
LIKE YOUR OVERSIZED FOR OUR ROUTES.
HIS RESPONSE IS WE ARE OVERSIZED.
THAT'S WHY WE INVEST IN MONEY TO HAVE PILOT CARS.
THOSE CARS DRIVE UP YOU IN FRONT AND BEHIND THE EQUIPMENT, SAYING MAKE WAY AND MAKE IT SAFE FOR EVERYBODY ON THE ROUTES.
I DON'T THINK THESE PILOT CARS SOLVE THE CONCERN COUNCIL WOMAN BAKER RAISED. I THINK THEY CONFIRM IT.
NEEDING PILOT CARS TO MOVE REGULAR TRAFFIC OUT OF THE WAY IS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THESE STREAKS IN THE ROUTES AREN'T WELL MATCHED. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN NOT BE FIXED IN THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
IN CLOSING, I BELIEVE MAYOR GORE IDENTIFIED EXACTLY THE RIGHT QUESTION LAST WEEK AND MY HOPE IS THAT COUNCIL REACHES THE SAME CONCLUSION THAT THIS LOCATION DOES NOT WORK, NO MATTER HOW WELL THE ENGINEERING TURNS OUT. AND I I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? >> HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. MANGER? THANK YOU SO MUCH.
APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. >> THANK YOU.
>> NEXT UP WE HAVE CINDY SEBERT. >> I'M CINDY AND THIS IS MY HUSBAND MIKE. I'M HERE TONIGHT JUST AS A HOME OWNER. I WANTED TO COME AND SPEAK, EVEN THOUGH IAN HAS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB ON REPRESENTING US AS A NEIGHBOURHOOD AND OUR CONCERNS. BUT I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT OUR PROPERTY. IT'S DIRECTLY BORDERING THE PROPOSED COAST TO COAST HEAVY HAUL DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING THE 4742 WEST NATIONAL ROAD. I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU CAREFULLY RECONSIDER APPROVAL OF THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING VERY CLEAR.
I AM NOT OPPOSED TO THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IN HUBER HEIGHTS.
I AM NOT OPPOSED TO COAST TO COAST HEAVY HAUL.
BUT, YOU KNOW, MY CONCERN IS WHETHER THIS PARTICULAR TYPE OF HEAVY HAUL OPERATION IS APPROPRIATE FOR THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION. DIRECTLY BESIDE ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL HOMES. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE LIVED IN OUR HOME SINCE 2013 WHEN. WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR PROPERTY, WE PAID A PREMIUM BECAUSE OUR HOME DID NOT BACK UP TO ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT. THE OPEN SPACE IS NOT WHAT WE PURCHASED. WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO NOT OWN THAT PROPERTY. WE'RE SEEING THAT IT IS ZONED FOR INDUSTRIAL, BUT INDUSTRIAL ZONES DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT EVERY TYPE OF INTENSITY OF INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY IS APPROPRIATE IMMEDIATELY BESIDE PEOPLE'S HOMES.
THIS PROPOSAL INCLUDES THAT 8,800 SQUARE FOOT TRUCK MAINTENANCE BUILDING, AND OFFICE BUILDING AND PARKING FOR UP YOU TO 43 TRUCKS OR TRAILERS. THIS IS A HEAVY HAUL BUSINESS INVOLVING VERY LARGE EQUIPMENT. IT RAISES LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS ABOUT TRAFFIC SAFETY, NOISE, LIGHT ING , MAINTENANCE, LOADIN AND UNLOADING, WHICH I'M GRATEFUL THAT THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP IN PAST MEETINGS.
I'M ESPECIALLY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THIS FACILITY IS OPERATING AT ITS FULL POTENTIAL.
NOT JUST SIMPLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON ITS FIRST DAY OF OPERATIONS. BEFORE APPROVING THIS PLAN, I RESPECTFULLY -- ANSWERS REGARDING THE LOADS THAT WILL ENTER THE ROUTE TO AND FROM THE FACILITY TRAFFIC FACILITY.
AND AT U.S. 40 AND STATE ROUTE 202.
EMERGENCY ACCESS, HOURS OF OPERATION, NIGHT TIME ACTIVITY, TRUCK IDLING, LIGHTING AND THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TRUCKS AND TRAILERS THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE KEPT ON THE PROPERTY.
[00:25:02]
IF THOSE QUESTIONS CAN NOT BE ADEQUATELY ANSWERED TONIGHT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT APPROVAL BE DELAYED UNTIL THEY CAN BE.AND I I KNOW THAT YOU DID SAY THAT THERE WOULD BE A THIRD READING, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. WE'RE NOT ASKING YOU TO PREVENT DEVELOPMENT. WE'RE ASKING YOU TO MAKE SURE DEVELOPMENT IS APPROPRIATE FOR ITS LOCATION AND THAT THE EXISTING HOME OWNERS ARE PROTECTED.
THANK YOU FOR HEARING MY CONCERNS AND FOR CONSIDERING THE PEOPLE WHO WILL LIVE NEXT DOOR TO THIS OPERATION EVERYDAY.
>> LAST UP, WE HAVE DEB CANNING. >> HI, I'M DEB CANNON.
MY HUSBAND BRIAN AND I LIVE AT 2585 BLUE FLAG STREET.
ONE HOUSE TO THE EAST OF IAN AND BECCA.
WE'VE BEEN THERE SINCE 2014 WHEN WE HAD THE HOUSE BUILT.
IT'S ON OUR LOT AS WELL. I WANTED TO QUICKLY THANK THE COUNCIL FOR THEIR WILLINGNESS TO DEVOTE SO MUCH TIME TO THIS DISCUSSION, AND FOR THEIR INSIGHTFUL IDEAS, QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS.
I DEFINITELY WANT TO THANK EIAN FOR ALL OF HIS RESEARCH ARE AND WILLINGNESS TO STEP UP AND TAKE THE LEAD, AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH IAN AND THE REST ARE OF US.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.
THAT SAID, I ALSO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO STATE FOR THE RECORD THAT WE REMAIN OPPOSED TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
IAN HAS DONE A THOROUGH JOB OF LAYING OUT CONCERNS THAT WE SHARE COMPLETELY, SO I WON'T WOULD THE SIMPLY REPEAT THOSE.
I DO BELIEVE THE AGREEMENTS WITH THE APPLICANT HAVE BEEN CRITICAL AND WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THIS. FOR THOSE.
HOWEVER, AT THE END OF THE DAY, OUR OPPOSITION IS PRETTY SIMPLE.
WE SIMPLY DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS IS GOOD FOR A RESIDENTIAL NAKED FOR ALL OF THE REASON ARE -- REASONS DISCUSSED HERE TONIGHT. EVEN WITH THE MULTIPLE CONCESSIONS IN PLACE, IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO PREVENT THIS BUSINESS FROM NEGATIVELY IMPACTING OUR INDIVIDUAL PROPERTIES, THE SURROUNDI ING NEIGHBOURHOOD AND THE TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD AND AREA. AGAIN, ALL REASONS THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED. BUT JUST WANTED TO VOICE OUR CONCERNS FOR THE RECORD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
BEFORE WE MOVE ON , I WANT TO SAY SO, YES, THIS HAS BEEN MOVED TO A THIRD READING, WHICH WILL BE TWO WEEKS FROM TONIGHT.
BUT NEXT TUESDAY IS OUR WORK SESSION.
THIS WILL BE BACK ON THAT WORK SESSION AGENDA FOR MORE DISCUSSION. I THINK THERE'S BEEN -- THE VIDEOS HAVE BEEN FORWARDED THERE WILL BE PROBABLY SOME REALLY GOOD DISCUSSION THAT COMES OUT OF THAT, ALONG WITH THE VIDEOS.
SO ANYBODY WHO'S HERE WHO'S INTERESTED IN THAT DISCUSSION AND SEEING HOW THIS MOVES FORWARD, PLEASE COME BACK TO THAT. PLEASE COME BACK TO THAT MEETING ON TUESDAY. WHAT DATE IS THAT?
>> THE 22ND. >> TUESDAY THE 22ND.
SO WE'LL BE DISCUSSING IT AT THAT WORK SESSION.
OKAY. AND FOR ALL OF THAT YOU CAME

OKAY. SO WE'LL MOVE THAT ONE WITH ON.AND JUST BEFORE WE GET STARTED, I KNOW THERE'S BEEN AN E-MAIL SENT TO US THIS MORNING. SO JOHN OR ALEC, IF YOU WOULD JUST KIND OF ADDRESS THAT. I KNOW YOU SAID THIS IS ALL THE ITEMS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP IN TERMS OF THE FINANCING AND THE AMOUNT AND THE DEBT. SO JUST KIND OF EXPLAIN HOW THESE BONDS, THIS IS KIND OF REPAYING BACK MONEY.
NONE OF THIS IS NEW MONEY, BUT IT'S BONDS TO REISSUE THAT AS
LONG-TERM DEBT NOW. >> SO YEAH, THE ONLY NEW MONEY IS FOR THE POLICE STATION PROJECT, AND THAT'S TO GET US THROUGH THE FALL AND THE NEXT PHASE THAT COUNCIL'S APPROVED.
THE REST OF IT IS NOTE ISSUANCES THAT WE'VE DONE SEVERAL TIMES AND WE'VE DONE THESE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, SINCE 2024.
THIS IS AN JOVR ALL PLAN FROM THE CITY THAT STARTED IN 2020 AND 2021. TIME FRAME ON A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO DO NO ISSUANCES DUE TO THE INTEREST RATES AND THE ECONOMY.
SO THIS IS WHY WE'VE DONE IT TWICE THIS YEAR, BASED ON OUR BOND ADVISOR AND BOND COUNCIL. WE WENT BACK AND EARLIER THIS YEAR JUST TO GET ANOTHER NOTE ISSUANCE TO GET US TO THIS POINT. WE FEEL THAT THE ECONOMY IS WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE. WE HAVE BETTER INTEREST RATES NOW. WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD, TAKING THIS TO LONG-TERM DEBT. SO THE ONLY ONE NOTE ISSUANCE WOULD BE THE CARRY ON OF THE $8.8 MILLION APPROXIMATELY.
AND UNTIL THE NCA GETS THEIR FINANCING AND THEN THE NCA WILL BE REIMBURSING THE CITY FOR THAT.

OKAY. WE'LL MOVE THAT ON AS WELL.NEXT UP IS ITEM 12. GENERAL COMMENTS.
>> FIRST UP JENNIFER DILK. >> I HOPE YOU PARDON ME.
I EXTRA DRY COUGH. I'M GOING TO TRY TO GET THROUGH THIS. ACCORDING TO CHARTER 6.02 THE CITY MANAGER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO COUNCIL FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF ALL CITY AFFAIRS LACED IN THE MANAGER'S CHARGE BY THE CHARTER, MEANING THEIR JOB IS TO REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL, MANAGE CITY BUSINESS. THERE IS A DELICATE BALANCE BETWEEN MANAGING CITY CONTRACTS AND MANAGING CONTRACTS FOR THE ARE RESIDENTS. THE 1ST OF JULY THE CITY MANAGER ENTERED INTO AN AMENDMENT WITH PUBLIC BUT WHAT FOLLOWED CROSSED THAT VERY LINE. TO CLARIFY, NO ONE IS SAYING GET RID OF REPUBLIC. PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND THE BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY TO RECEIVE A DISCOUNTED RATE.
EVEN THOUGH THERE'S BEEN A 44% INCREASE ARE SINCE 2021.
HOWEVER, IT'S UNACCEPTABLE TO TELL FAMILIES THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO USE THE COMPANY'S TRASH BIN.
ON THE SURFACE IT MAY APPEAR TO BE NO BIG DEAL.
INSTEAD OF PUTTING OUT BAGS, YOU MUST PUT OUT A TRASH BIN.
THE REASONS GIVEN WERE PLENTY. LET'S TAKE A MOMENT TO ADDRESS THEM. ONE REASON WAS COSTS.
A STANDARD BIN HELPS KEEP THE COSTS OF THE CITY'S NEW CONTRACT LOWER. CURRENTLY THE COMPANY IS IT PROVIDING EVERY HOME A BIN INCURRING COSTS.
SECOND, WITH RECYCLING EVERY SECOND WEEK IT AGAIN INCURS COSTS. WHAT EXACTLY IS THE COST COMPARISON WITH REPUBLIC IF INDIVIDUALS CHOSE TO MAKE PERSONAL DECISIONS FOR THEIR FAMILIES.
COMPARED TO THE EXTRA COSTS FOR LARGE FAMILIES BECAUSE TEN BAGS DO NOT FIT IN A 96 GALLON TRASH BIN, THE CITY HAS BEEN PUBLISHING LATELY ON FACEBOOK THE CLAIM THAT EVERY HOUSEHOLD USES THE SAME TYPE OF CART COLLECTION FASTER, SAFER AND MORE CONSISTENT. WHEN I SPOKE TO REPUBLIC AND THE CITY MANAGER THERE WAS MENTION OF UNIFORMITY TO SAFE ON FAST AND ARE PREDICTABLE PICK UP. HOWEVER, I ACTUALLY TIMED REPUBLIC FOR THE PAST THREE WEEKS.
IT TOOK ON AVERAGE 12 SECONDS TO PICK UP THE COMPANY'S TRASH BIN VERSUS 6 FOR A PERCENTAGE TRASH BIN.
BASED ON THAT DATA, IT SEEMED THAT KEEPING PERSONAL CANS IS ACTUALLY MORE TIME EFFICIENT. THE OTHER REASON GIVEN WAS HAVING BAGS COULD CREATE A MESS BY WIND OR ANIMAL.
LIKE ASSURE YOU IF AN ANIMAL GOT INTO A TRASH BIN, THE SANITATION WORKER WITH WOULD JUST DRIVE THE TRUCK RIGHT ON BY.
THE CITY WITH WOULD ALSO NOT BE ABLE TO PICK UP THEIR TRASH.
THE GARBAGE WITH WOULD FALLEN THE HOME OWNER TO PICK UP AND REBAG FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THIS IS OFTEN WHY INDIVIDUALS KEEP THE BAGS INSIDE THEIR GARAGE OR HOME UNTIL MORNING.
THERE'S ALSO INTERESTING SUGGESTION THAT EXTRA BAGS COULD BE PLACED ON TOP OF THE COMPANY BIN.
WHICH SEEMED TO NEGATE THAT VERY CONCERN ABOUT LOOSE BAGS.
NOW IT COULD BE DELICATELY PLACED ON TOP, YOU KNOW, PRAYING THAT THE ACTUAL BAGS WILL STAY ON TO THE DUMPSTER.
THIS ACTUALLY CREATES A HIGHER PROBABILITY OF CREATING A MESS, WHICH THE CITY SEEMS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT.
TO BE UP HERE TALKING ABOUT THE RIGHT FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION ABOUT THEIR TRASH CAN ACTUALLY FLOORS ME.
IT REALLY DOES. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M UP HERE AND DOING THIS. BUT YOU THE NINTH AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION STATES THAT THE SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO DENY OR DISPARAGE OTHERS RETAINED BY THE PEOPLE.
IT BASICALLY MEANS JUST BECAUSE OUR RIGHTS AREN'T SPELLED OUT IN THE CONSTITUTION DOESN'T MEAN THAT PEOPLE ARE DENIED FREEDOMS. AS ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, YOU'RE TO REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. WE LIVE IN A VERY DIVERSE COMMUNITY. FROM STINGLING INDIVIDUALS TO 80 OR 90-YEAR-OLDS THAT MIGHT HAVE SMALL TRASH BINS, TO LARGE FAMILIES THAT ENJOY THE AGREEMENT OF 10 BAGS PER TRASH BIN, AND EVERY FAMILY IN BETWEEN.
WE MRS. CENTRE FAMILY WHO ARE ELDERLY OR WITH A WIDE RANGE OF MEDICAL ISSUES WITH LIMITED MOBILITY RANGE.
BUT NOW THEY HAVE TO STORE THAT LITTLE BAG OF TRASH ON THE SIDE OF THEIR HOME AND WHEEL IT DOWN. WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS. THE WHOLE IRONY OF THIS PUSH THOUGH IS THAT THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT IN THE CONTRACT TO ACTUALLY USE REPUBLIC'S TRASH CAN.
IT JUST SIMPLY SAID IT WOULD BE OFFERED.
INSTEAD, THE CITY IS GOING OFF SOME UNDOCUMENTED CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE CITY MANAGER AND REPUBLIC.
SO PLEASE FOLLOW THE CONTRACT. FOLLOW THE CHARTER.
REPRESENT THE PEOPLE AND ENSURE OUR RIGHTS ARE PROTECTED.
YOU COULD DO THIS BY TELLING REPUBLIC AND THE CITIZENS OF
[00:50:03]
HUBER HEIGHTS THAT WE RESPECT THE FREEDOM OF THE PEOPLE TO CHOOSE HOW THEIR TRASH WILL BE PICKED UP.THEY'RE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES HEAR THEM AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE DIVERSE COMMUNITY. LET THE PEOPLE DETERMINE FOR THEMSELVES WHAT WORKS BEST FOR THEM AND WHEN IT COMES TO TRASH PICK UP OR GIVE US YOU THE OPTION TO OPT OUT ALTOGETHER.
MARSHALL. >> GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. HOW ARE YOU.
>> GOOD. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE TODAY. GOOD EVENING.
MAYOR, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE CITY COUNCIL, I THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK IN THIS FORUM.
I'M TAMAY MARSHALL AND I'M A RESIDENT FOR THE ADJACENT RESIDENCE OF DADAYTON. I'M ON KITRIDGE ROAD AND CITIES NEAR YOUR STILL'S BORDER. I'M STANDING BEFORE YOU TONIGHT TO RESPECTFULLY URGE THIS COUNCIL TO EXERCISE ITS LOCAL AUTHORITY TO PROHIBIT THE DISCHARGE OF CONSUMER FIREWORKS WITHIN ITS CITY LIMITS AND TO MAINTAIN ITS LOCAL -- IN ORDER TO PRIORITIZE COMMUNITY SAFETY, VETERAN CARE AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY OVER RECREATIONAL NOVELTY.
WE ALL APPRECIATE CELEBRATION AND PATRIOTISM, BUT OUR CORE RESPONSIBILITY TO ONE ANOTHER MUST BE THE SAFETY AND PEACE AND WELL-BEING OF ALL OUR NEIGHBOURS.
WHETHER IT BE ACROSS THE YARD OR ACROSS THE DISTRICT.
HAVING SAID THAT, I'D LIKE TO PRESENT THREE POINTS OF CONSIDERATION IN UPHOLDING THE BAN.
THE FIRST POINT, WE MUST PROTECT OUR VETERANS AND VULNERABLE NEIGHBOURS. BOTH HUBER HEIGHTS AND DAYTON ARE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE PROUD OF ITS MILITARY CONNECTIONS.
MANY OF OUR NEIGHBOURS ARE VETERANS WHO HAVE SERVED OUR COUNTRY AND OUR NATION. MYSELF INCLUDED.
HAVING DEDICATED 22 YEARS TO THE AIR FORCE.
THAT BEING SAID, SOME OF US CARRY THE INVISIBLE WOUNDS OF THAT SERVICE. INCLUDING PTSD.
MYSELF AGAIN BEING ONE OF THEM. THE UNPREDICTABLE CON CUSSIVE BLASTS OF BACKYARD FIREWORKS DO NOT FEEL LIKE A CELEBRATION TO ME OR MANY OF MY FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ARMS. BUT RATHER A TRIGGER OF SEVERE TRAUMA LEAVING US BOTH HELPLESS AND DISTRAUGHT. FURTHERMORE, THESE SUDDEN EXPLOSIONS TERRORIZE LOCAL PETS AND DISRUPT FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN OR SENIORS. CELEBRATING OUR FREEDOM SHOULD NEVER COME AT THE COST OF OUR NEIGHBOURS' PEACE OF MIND IN THEIR OWN HOMES. MY SECOND POINT CONCERNS PUBLIC SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARDS. FROM A PURELY PHYSICAL STANDPOINT, OUR SUBURBAN NEIGHBOURHOODS ARE NOT BUILT FOR HIGH HAZARD EXPLOSIVES. TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL LOTS IN HUBER HEIGHTS AND DAYTON PLACE HOMES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY.
A SINGLE STRAY EMBER CAN EASILY IGNITE VINYL SIDING, DRY LANDSCAPING, TREESER OR A NEIGHBOUR'S ROOF JUST TO NAME A FEW. BY KEEPING THE BAN IN PLACE, WE PROTECT PROPERTY VALUES AND PREVENT ENTIRELY AVOIDABLE RESIDENTIAL FIRES. MY THIRD AND FINAL POINT IS THE STRAIN ON OUR FIRST RESPONDERS. ALLOWING CONSUMER WORKS MR. CREATE AN IMMEDIATE UNFUNDED STRAIN ON BOTH THE HUBER HEIGHTS DIVISION OF FIRE AND POLICE FORCE AS IT DOES FOR DAYTON.
LET'S BE HONEST. EMERGENCY SERVICES IN BOTH OUR COMMUNITIES ARE ALREADY OVERWHELMED JUST TRYING TO ENFORCE THE CURRENT RESTRICTIONS ON ILLEGAL FIREWORKS.
TO LIFT THIS BAN NOW WOULD OVERSTRETCH PRESENT RESOURCES AND SET BOTH OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AND COMMUNITIES UP FOR FAILURE. THE BAN WITH WOULD RELEAVE AND RELEASE YOUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIREMEN FROM WASTING VALUABLE TIME CHASING DOWN AVOIDABLE NOISE COMPLAINTS, PREVENTIBLE INJURIES AND BRUSH FIRES AND INSTEAD FOCUS ON CRITICAL LIFE-SAVING EMERGENCIES. IN CONCLUSION, HONOURABLE COUNCIL MEMBERS, OHIO LAW GIVES US THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR NEIGHBOURHOODS. BUT ULTIMATELY, HOW WE TREAT ONE ANOTHER IS THE TRUE REFLEXION OF OUR COMMUNITY'S HEART AND CHARACTER. AT THE END OF THE DAY, OUR LAWS SHOULD REFLECT OUR VALUES. AND THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY IS DEFINED IN HOW WE CHOOSE TO PROTECT AND RESPECT ONE ANOTHER.
ACTING OUT OF THE STATE'S LEGALIZATION IS NOT ABOUT RESTRICTING FUN. IT'S ABOUT PRESERVING PUBLIC
[00:55:03]
SAFETY, RESPECTING OUR VETERANS AND PROTECTING OUR HOMES.WITH THIS IN MINDS, I ASK YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE YOU SERVE, TO LOOK OUT FOR THOSE WHO LIVE ALONGSIDE YOU, AND TO PROTECT THEIR SAFETY AND WELL-BEING BY MAINTAINING THE BAN ON CONSUMER FIREWORKS WOULD. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, YOUR CONSIDERATION AND THE SERVICE TO YOUR CITY.
APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. >> NEXT UP YOU JEFF MOREFORD.
>> GOOD EVENING. FREEDOM, FREEDOM, FREEDOM.
HE OPPRESSION, OH PRESENTATION, OH PRESENTATION.
I'VE ATTENDED DOZENS OF MEETINGS SETTLED IN THE PUBLIC BUILDING.
I'VE FILLED OUT THE FORM EACH TIME.
IT SPECIFIES ANY TOPIC AND 5-MINUTE TIME FRAME.
BUT YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO SUPPRESS MY VOICE BY LIMITING MY TIME TO 60 SECONDS ON DOZENS OF OCCASIONS.
I BELIEVE YOU'VE OH PRESSED MY VOICE BECAUSE YOU DON'T CENTRE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE ACTIONS OF THIS COUNCIL OR IF PAST 25 YEARS REGARDING ANNEXATIONS AND HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT. AGAINST THE WILL OF THE CITIZENS, THE THREE ELECTED BETHEL TOWNSHIP STRUSES AND THE THREE ELECTED MIAMI COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
THIS COUNCIL HAS AN OBLIGATION TO REPRESENT THE CITIZENS WHO ELECTED YOU. I BELIEVE THE HUBER HEIGHTS CITIZENS HAVE BEEN DENIED THE REPRESENTATION THEY DESERVE, AND YOU SHOULD ALL ARE RESIGN. YOU COULD HAVE CHOSEN TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND LISTEN TO NEIGHBOURS IN BETHEL TOWNSHIP, BUT NO, YOU CHOSE TO OPPRESS CITIZENS WHO CHOSE TO LIVE IN A RURAL COMMUNITY. YOU CHOSE TO BE ADDICTED TO POWER AND MONEY, AND OH PRESS BECAUSE YOU COULD.
WHY SHOULD THE SUCCESS OF HUBER HEIGHTS BE CONTINGENTEN THE FORCED FAILURE OF YOUR NEIGHBOURS? WHY SHOULD THE SMALL RURAL BETHEL SCHOOL BE TURNED INTO AN INSTITUTION WITH ALL THE ASSOCIATED PROBLEMS? WHY SHOULD THE STUDENT POPULATION OF BETHEL BE COMPRISED OF 75% HUBER RESIDENTS? ANY TRUE AMERICAN WHO BELIEVES IN FREEDOM CAN SEE THE TYPE TWO EXPEDITED ARE OPPRESS IN NATURE AND MEANT TO TAKE AWAY THE CHOICE OF CITIZENS LIVING IN A RURAL SETTING.
TAKEN AWAY FOR REASON ARES OF GREED, POWER AND MONEY.
FREEDOM HAS BEEN PUT ON TRIAL AND ACTIONS SUP AS YOURS HAS PUT IN JEOPARDY THE FREEDOMS WE AS CITIZENS HAVE FOUGHT SO HARD TO GET AND MAINTAIN. FIGHTING AGAINST OPPRESSION AS CITIZENS OUR RESPONSE SHOULD BE TO PROTECT OUR FREEDOMS, NOT LOOK FOR WAYS TO TAKE FREEDOMS AWAY.
YOUR OATH OF OFFICE FIRST LINE IS TO PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. THE CONSTITUTION'S MAIN FOCUS IS FREEDOMS MEANT TO BE STOP OPPRESSION.
YOU HAVE CONDONED, SUPPORTED AND PROSPERED USING HE OPPRESSION AND DELIBERATEDLY OH PRESSED THE RESIDENTS OF BETHEL TOWNSHIP JUST SO YOU COULD PRESS YOUR AGENDA INTO PLAY.
DEFINITION OF OPPRESSION IS A FORM OF INJUSTICE THAT OCCURS WITH WHEN ONE SOCIAL GROUP IS SUBORDINATE WHILE ANOTHER IS IT PRIVILEGED. IT'S MAINTAINED BY A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT MECHANISMS, INCLUDING SOCIAL NORMS, STEREOTYPES AND INSTITUTIONAL ROLES. THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION IS A PREMIER LAW OF THE UNITED STATES THAT SETS UP NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AND PROTECTS THE BASIC RIGHTS OF ITS CITIZENS.
I WILL CONTINUE TO SPEAK ABOUT FREEDOM AND ITS OPPOSITION OPPR OPPRESSION.
FREEDOM SHOULD BE HELD IN THE HIGHEST REGARD FOR AMERICANS.
SUPPORT AND PROTECTION AT ALL COSTS.
ALL THE TIME. SPEAKING OF FREEDOM FOR 5 MINUTES IS IT BUT A BREATH IN TIME.
FOR YOU TO RESTRICT MY 5 MINUTES TO SPEAK ABOUT FREEDOM AND OPPRESSION TO 60 SECONDS IS BUT A BLINK OF AN EYE.
I BELIEVE YOU RESTRICT MY TIME BECAUSE YOU DO NOT LIKE WHAT I'M SAYING AND IT SHOWS A NEGATIVE LIGHT ON YOUR ACTIONS, SHOWING YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE. WHY SHOULD THE SUCCESS OF HUBER HEIGHTS BE CONTINGENT ON THE FORCED FAILURE OF BETHEL TOWNSHIP? OVER THE LAST 250 YEARS AMERICANS HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TO GAIN AND GROW OUR FREEDOMS. NOT FIND WAYS TO CUT FREEDOMS. ESPECIALLY FOR REASONS OF FINANCIAL GAIN. YOU ARE HAPPY BECAUSE YOUR FREEDOMS ARE IN TACT. WHEREAS MY FREEDOMS AND THE FREEDOMS OF THOSE LIVING IN BETHEL TOWNSHIP STRB DENIED AND
[01:00:02]
TAKEN AWAY BECAUSE OF UNJUST ANNEXATION LAWS.HISTORICALLY OUR COUNTRY HAS WORKED TO SOLIDIFY OUR FREEDOMS. AMERICANS HAVE FOUGHT AGAINST THE OPPRESSION OF EUROPEAN RULE, FOUGHT AGAINST SLAVERY, FOUGHT TO GIVE ALL AMERICAN CITIZEN IT IS RIGHT TO VOTE. THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE.
IF IT WAS NOT FOR THESE EFFORTS, WE WOULD STILL BE UNDER THE ROLE OF THE DESCENDANTS OF KING GEORGE.
SLAVERY WOULD BE ALIVE AND WELL AND ONLY WHITE MALES WOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE. DEFINITION OF OH PRESENTATION IS A MALICIOUS OR UNJUST TREATMENT OF OR EXCISE OF POWER OVER A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS, OFTEN IN THE FORM OF GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY. OPPRESSION IS UNJUST TREATMENT OF ONE WITH SOCIAL GROUP BY A MORE POWERFUL ONE WITH.
IT'S A COMPLEX SYSTEM OF POWER. BELIEFS AND ACTIONS RESULT IN
THE -- >> THAT IS 5 MINUTES THIS
EVENING, MR. MOREFORD. >> THANK YOU.
>> I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR YOU THOUGH.
WE'VE BEEN AROUND THIS LOTS OF TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS OR SO. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SPOKEN AT THE STATEHOUSE WHERE THEY ACTUALLY MAKE THE ANNEXATION LAWS? HAVE YOU BEEN THERE TO ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT GETTING OUR STATE LEGISLATURES TO ACTUALLY CHANGE THE LAW? HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BEEN
YOU'VE BEEN HERE -- >> I'VE WRITTEN TO THEM TEN
TIMES. >> WELL, I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT WHEN YOU SHOW UP IN PERSON THAT MEANS SOMETHING.
SO YOU'VE BEEN THERE ONCE. AND YOU'VE BEEN HERE I'M GONNA GUESS 40 TIMES. OKAY.
SO I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT.
YOU SHOULD BE TALKING TO THE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY MAKE THE LAWS. THAT WOULD HELP YOU.
THAT WITH WOULD HELP YOU. GO TALK TO THEM.
SO NEXT, YOU GOT YOUR 5 MINUTES. YOU TALK ABOUT UNJUST IN TERMS OF FREEDOM. THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON PROPERTY RIGHTS. DO YOU AGREE TO THAT?
>> IT WAS FOUNDED ON FREEDOM. >> PROPERTY RIGHTS.
>> FREEDOM. >> PROPERTY RIGHTS.
MEANING YOU HAVE YOU THE FREEDOM TO DO WITH YOUR PROPERTY AS YOU
IF I COME TO YOUR PLACE AND SAY I WANT TO DO THIS WITH MY PROPERTY, DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY YES OR NO?
>> TO SELL SOMEONE'S PROPERTY, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO SELL THEIR PROPERTY. IF THEY WANT TO SELL THEIR PROPERTY TO SOMEBODY AND MAKE A PROFIT OFF OF IT, THAT IS THEIR BUSINESS. WHAT WE DID, SOME WOULD AGREE, THAT WE UPHELD FREEDOM FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER S.
IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN IN YOUR BEST INTEREST, BUT IT WAS IN THEIR BEST INTEREST. TO SELL THEIR PROPERTY AT THE TIME THEY DID AND FOR THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT THEY CHOSE TO SELL.
IF SOMEONE OH POSED YOU FOR SELLING YOUR PROPERTY FOR A PROFIT, WIOULD YOU BE HERE UPSE THAT SOMEONE KEPT YOU FROM SELLING YOUR PROPERTY FOR A PROFIT?
>> I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH YOU SELLING AN IRJ OF YOUR LAND FOR $1 MILLION. BUT WHAT YOU DO WITH THAT INCH OF LAND SHOULD NOT BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTING THE COMMUNITY.
WITH WOULD YOU BE HERE IF SOMEONE KEPT YOU FROM SELLING YOUR PROPERTY TO MAKE $1 MILLION? OR $2 MILLION. OR $3 MILLION.
WOULD YOU BE HERE UPSET THAT SOMEBODY KEPT YOU FROM DOING WITH YOUR PROPERTY WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO TO MAKE A PROFIT TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY, TO RETIRE, TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANTED. WOULD YOU BE UPSET ABOUT THAT?
>> IF THE COMMUNITY WAS AGAINST THAT, I I WOULD NOT BE HERE.
>> OKAY , I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. >> YOU'RE CALLING ME A LIAR?
>> I DON'T BELIEVE THAT YOU WOULD NOT BE UPSET AND BE
SPEAKING AT A PUBLIC BODY. >> I BELIEVE IN THE COMMUNITY I LIVE IN. IF THEY GIVE ME THE RULES AND THE REGULATIONS, I FOLLOW THOSE RULES AND REGULATIONS.
>> MR. CONNOR, DID WE VIOLATE ANY RULES AND REGULATIONS, ANY U.S. CONSTITUTION, ANY STATE CONSTITUTION, ANY STATE LAWS WHEN THAT PROPERTY WAS ANNEXED AND WHEN THE PROPERTY OWNERS MADE THE EVER TO SELL THEIR PROPERTY TO A DEVELOPER? DID WE VIOLATE ANY LAWS? DID WE DO ANYTHING WRONG?
>> NO. IN FACT, THE OHIO SUPREME COURT IS BACKED AND CLARE THAT THE LIMITS ON THE RIGHTS OF PROPERTY OWNERS TO DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH THEIR PROPERTY IS VERY LIMITED TO THE ZONING LAWS THAT EXIST. THE ANNEXATION LAWS THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BY THE STATE OF OHIO I BELIEVE WERE ENACTED IN 2002. I'M ALSO AWARE THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT POTENTIALLY AMENDING THOSE LAWS IN THE STATEHOUSE. BUT THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET.
[01:05:02]
SO HUBER HEIGHTS, LIKE MOST OF THE COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE OF OHIO, HAVE USED THE ANNEXATION LAWS, FOLLOWED THEM, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE WAYS IN WHICH CITIES GROW AND BUILD HOMES FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE IN. BECAUSE THERE'S A NEED FOR THAT.SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED BECAUSE OF THAT.
IT RAISES REVENUES TO SUPPORT THE LIFESTYLES OF PEOPLE BECAUSE GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE IS NECESSARY.
AND SO SHORT ANSWER IS NO LAWS WERE VIOLATED.
APPRECIATE THAT. NEXT WHEN IT COMES TO SCHOOLS.
YOU SAID 75% VERSUS 25%. WHICH, YOU KNOW, MY LAST CONVERSATION WITH SUPERINTENDENT IN BETHEL, THOSE NUMBERS ARE CORRECT. BUT WHAT HE ALSO SAID WAS THAT IF IT WASN'T FOR CARRIAGE TRAILS -- SEE, THE REAL ISSUE THAT NOBODY IN BETHEL WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IS THAT AS THOSE CHILDREN IN THE BETHEL SCHOOL DISTRICT ARE IN YOUR COMMUNITY, AS THEY'RE GROWING UP YOU AND GRADUATING, THEY'RE LEAVING BETHEL. THEY'RE NOT STAYING.
THEY'RE NOT STAYING FARMERS. THEY'RE NOT COMING BACK TO THE LAND. THEY'RE LEAVING.
THAT MEANS THEIR CHILDREN ARE NOT GOING INTO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THERE HAS BEEN DIMINISHING YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR.
IF IT WASN'T FOR THE CARRIAGE TRAIL CITIZENS THERE WOULD BE WOULD NO BETHEL SCHOOLS BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED YOU TO STAY OPEN BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH KIDS TO GO.
THAT'S WHAT NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S ON THE RECORD THAT I SAID I DON'T
>> I SAID I DON'T BELIEVE YOU ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD FEEL IF WE KEPT YOU FROM SELLING YOUR PROPERTY, AND THE FIRST THING YOU DID WAS GOT DEFENSIVE AND SAID ARE YOU CALLING ME A LIAR.
YET SOMEHOW OVER THE LAST 40 MEETINGS YOU'VE BEEN TO YOU'VE CALLED ME EVERY NAME IN THE BOOK.
YOU'VE CALLED US LIARS. >> WHAT NAME?
>> YOU'VE CALLED US LIARS. >> NEVER.
NEVER. >> YOU SAID WE ARE CRIMINAL.
>> NEVER. >> YOU PRETTY MUCH SAID WE'RE VIOLATING LAWS AND WE SHOULD ALL RESIGN AND WE'RE ASHAMED OF WHAT
WE'RE DOING. >> I I ASKED YOU.
>> MANY, MANY MOONS AGO YOU BROUGHT THAT UP YOU AND THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID. AND I RESPONDED AND SAID I'M NOT ASHAMED ONE BIT OF WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THIS CITY.
BUT YOU KEEP ON SAYING THAT AND KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT.
I'M GOING TO LET YOU COME HERE AND TALK FOR 5 MINUTES EVERY OTHER TIME YOU WANT, BECAUSE TO ME IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A HYPOCRITE. YOU COME HERE AND YOU'RE FRUSTRATED AT PEOPLE THAT CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
YET YOU'VE ONLY BEEN TO THE STATEHOUSE ONE TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE ANNEXATION LAWS. APPRECIATE IT.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT AND WE'LL SEE YOU IN TWO WEEKS.
>> THANKS FOR THE 5 MINUTES. I DO APPRECIATE IT.
FINALLY YOU SEE THE LIGHT BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONE THAT --
>> SEE, HERE WE GO AGAIN. LOOK AT THAT.
