[9. City Manager Report]
>> THERE ARE NONE. >> ITEM NUMBER NINE.
CITY MANAGER REPORT. FILLING IN IS AARON.
[00:20:01]
JOHN WAS UNABLE TO MAKE IT SO I WILL TRY TO FILL HIS SHOES.
THIS PAST WEEK THE 2026 O.E.D. AN ANNUAL SUMMIT WAS HERE -- THEY HAD 600 AKNEE TEN -- ATTENDEES.
LARGEST DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONALS IN THE COUNTRY.
GOING TO VARIOUS CONFERENCES. ALSO, AT THE CONFERENCE, OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR JASON WAS RECOGNIZED AS EARNING HIS OHIO CERTIFIED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CREDENTIAL.
THERE WERE 19 PROFESSIONALS WHO WERE RECOGNIZED WITH THOSE CREDENTIALS AT THE ANNUAL AWARDS LUNCHEON.
SO HE EARNED HI CREDENTIALS THROUGH A YEAR LONG STUDY.
THROUGH A CAPSTONE PROJECT, VARIOUS SCENARIOS AND ASSIGNMENT AND PROFESSIONAL REVIEW OF PANEL OF HIS PEERS.
WE ARE PROUD OF HIM. AS A REMINDER THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANT PROGRAM APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN.
THEY CLOSE FRIDAY. SO THOSE BUSINESSES AND WHO ARE INTERESTED WE ARE HOPING THEY WILL APPLY.
SO FAR WE RECEIVED FIVE APPLICATIONS.
BUT WE ANTICIPATE MORE BY THE DEADLINE ON FRIDAY.
ONE THING I WANT TO MENTION WE ARE UPGRADING OUR BILLING SOFTWARE FOR THE UTILITY. CALLED S.S.I. PAY.
IF YOU LOOKED AT YOUR WATER BILLS, THERE NOTES ABOUT THAT.
I WANTED TO PROVIDE DETAIL. SO WE ARE UPGRADING SOFTWARE IN NOVEMBER. THE NEW PAYMENT SYSTEM IS GOING TO PROVIDE BETTER CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
EASIER TO NAVIGATE. THERE IS MORE FLEXIBILITY PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL. ALSO SUPPORTS MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS AND ONE BIG CHANGE FOR THE POSITIVE IS THAT MOVING FORWARD WITH THE NEW SYSTEM, THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR A.C.H. PAYMENTS SO IF YOU LE DO A DIRECT DRAW FROM YOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT THERE IS NO FEE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
WE HOPE PEOPLE WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT NEW SERVICE.
NEW BILLS ARE GOING TO START GOING OUT MID-NOVEMBER.
THERE WILL BE AN ACCOUNT SET UP CONSTRUCTIONS ON THE BILL.
THE TRANSITION DOES HAVE SOME KEY DATES THOUGH.
WE WILL BE PAUSING PAYMENTS FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 DAYS.
AS WE TRANSITION THIS SYSTEM. SO THE LAST DAY TO PAY IN PERSON OR ON LINE WILL BE NOVEMBER 3RD.
THE WATER BILLING OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED FROM NOVEMBER 4TH THROUGH THE 13TH. THERE A HOLIDAY IN THERE.
SO IT BREAKS IT UP. EMERGENCY REPAIRS AND WATER TURNS ON WILL NOT BE AFFECTED SO IF THERE -- CALL THE WATER OFFICE. WE WILL BE WORKING.
JUST NOT ACCEPTING PAYMENTS. AND THEN THOSE WHO ARE MOVING INTO THE COMMUNITY OVER THE WEEKEND WE WILL BE DOING WATER TURN ONS THAT WEEKEND AS WELL. AND THEN ON NOVEMBER 16TH, THE WATER OFFICE WILL REOPEN. BECAUSE OF THE TRANSITION, AND FOLKS WILL HAVE NEW ACCOUNT NUMBER, WILL NEED TO REREGISTER ON LINE, WE WILL NOT BE IMPOSING ANY LATE FEES OR WATER SHUT OFFS FROM NOVEMBER THROUGH EARLY JANUARY.
THIS IS BASICALLY ALLOWS TWO BILLING CYCLES FOR EVERYBODY TO GET THEIR ACCOUNT SET UP SO DURING THAT TIME PERIOD WE WILL
PAUSE LATE FREES AND SHUT ONS. >> AARON, HOW ARE WE GETTING INFORMATION OUT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC INCOME
>> IT IS ALREADY STARTING. THERE IS INFORMATION RIGHT NOW.
KIND OF TEASER INFORMATION ON YOUR WATER BILL THAT SAYS THIS CHANGE IS COMING. THE NEW WATER BILL WILL LOOK DIFFERENT AND IT WILL HAVE ON THE BILL, ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO SET UP A NEW ACCOUNT.
WE CAN'T NECESSARILY SEND OUT A LOT OF DETAIL BEFOREHAND BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO KNOW YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER.
IN ORDER TO SET IT UP. BUT THROUGH WILL BE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS THAT GO WITH THE WATER BILL.
FOR THOSE WHO GET AN ELECTRONIC E-MAIL VERSION, MOST OF THOSE ACCOUNTS -- THE CONTACT INFORMATION WILL BE TOUCHEDED INTO OUR DATA BASE AND THEY WILL BE SENT A NEW E-MAIL WITH NEW ACCOUNT NUMBERS AND THOSE INSTRUCTIONS.
ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON THE PRINTED BILL.
WHICH IS THE REASON WHY WE ARE PAUSING LATE FEES OR WATER SHUT OFFS TO ALLOW TWO FULL BILLING CYCLE AND ALLOW A THIRD TO GET
[00:25:02]
SET UP. OUR STAFF WILL BE THERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF THERE IS AN ISSUE.BUT THERE IS VERY INTUITIVE. IT SHOULD BE A FAIRLY PAINLESS
JUST SOME COMMUNITY EVENTS THAT ARE COMING UP.
ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3.THE HAPPY HAUNTED TRAIL, COMMUNITY PARK.
FALL CONCERT, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24TH.

WEATHER CAN GET SORT OF IFFY AT THE END OF OK.
BUT BRING A BLANKET, A SWEATER. PREPARE FOR FALL WEATHER.
REMINDER, TRICK OR TRAIL OR A-- OCTOBER 31ST. FROM 6:00 TO 8:00. ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? IF NOT I WILL KICK IT OVER TO ALEX FOR THE UPDATE ON THE
BUILDING PROGRAM. >> THANK YOU.
THANKS FOR YOUR REPORT. JUST A QUESTION.
FOR SOME OF OUR RESIDENTS WHO MIGHT BE TECH CHALLENGED AND WANT -- OR JUST WANT TO COME IN AND PAY THEIR BILL, IS THAT OPTION IS STILL AVAILABLE? HAVE THAT OPTION IS STILL AVAILABLE. WE ARE TRYING TO -- IF PEOPLE WANT TO PAY THE BILL, THAT OPTION IS STAILL AVAILABLE.
WE WANT TO PROVIDE OTHER OPTIONS.
>> THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR AARON? BEFORE WE HEAR FROM ALEX.
>> TO THAT POINT PDISCUSS SOME UPDATES AND I WILL RUN THROUGH IMAGES HERE OF WHAT THE FINANCE TAX AND UTILITIES BUILDING IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. WE ARE REDEVELOPING AND REMODELLING THE FIRST FLOOR TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR CUSTOMERS TO INTERACT WITH STAFF, THROUGH UTILITY AND TAX DIVISION AS WELL. SO I WILL GO THROUGH IMAGE.
THIS IS THE IMAGE FROM ON THE LEFT, OF THE FRONT OF BUILDING WITH THE NEW BREEZEWAY. THAT WILL LEAD YOU AS YOU ENTER THE DOOR, TURN RIGHT AND WILL GO INTO WHAT USED TO BE COUNCIL CHAMBERS WILL NOW BE WATER UTILITIES THEN TO THE LEFT WILL
BE TAX. >> SO THIS IS LOOKING ON THE LEFT. LOOKING TOWARDS OLD COUNCIL CHAMBERS. AND TO THE RIGHT OF THEED A MEN SIDE, OR WE HAD THE FRONT DESK. NEXT SLIDE.
THAT IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY.
ON THE LEFT SIDE, IS ESSENTIALLY SITTING WHERE COUNCIL MEMBER WEBB IS OR WAS. LOOKING BACK ON OLD CITY CHAMBERS AND ON THE REEGIGHT S IS WHERE WE GREET VIMS THAT ARE COMING TO DO BUSINESS IN THE TAX OFFICE.
THOSE ARE JUST FOR SAFETY OF OUR EMPLOYEES, BULLET RESISTANT GLASS, BULLET RESISTANT DOORS, BULLET RESISTANCE DRY WALL IN THE SPACES. THAT IS WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE.
ON THE LEFT, LOOKING AT WHAT COUNCIL CLAIM BAIRNS THE COMMERCIAL OFFICE AND ON THE RIGHT WAS EVERYTHING ON THE FIRST FLOOR. THAT'S HOW IT LOOKS TODAY.
THAT IS LOOKING FROM ON THE LEFT SIDE, FROM THE ACCESS FROM THE REAR OF THE BUILDING WHICH OPENED UPPEN INTO THE OPEN AREA OR BREEZEWAY BETWEEN THE TWO AREAS, CLERK'S OFFICE AND ADMIN AND COUNCIL CHAMBERS. AND THAT IS NOW A NICE BREAK ROOM FOR STAFF FOR FINANCE, TAX AND UTILITIES.
AND THAT IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE, LOOKING DOWN THE HALL NOW, OF ALL THE ADDITIONAL OFFICES IN THE SPACE.
THERE IS THE ADDITION, THIS WAS FROM THE LAST PRESENTATION AND UPDATE I GAVE TO COUNCIL. THAT IS THE ADDITION -- IN THE ADDITION THERE IS A SMALL STORAGE AREA FOR EACH OF THE DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS AND LARGER SPACES TO HOUSE THE NEW UTILITY, HVAC SYSTEMS AND THE LEFT WILL BE THE STORAGE AREA AND RIGHT SIDE, YOU CAN SEE ANOTHER DOOR THAT HAS A SEPARATE ENTRANCE TO FOLKS THAT HAVE TO DO PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE HAVE A SEPARATE ENTRANCE.
ALSO CARD FOR THE CONTRACTORS THEY CAN CONSPIRACY /* ENTER -- TO ENTER THAT SPACE. THE LEFT WAS CHAMBERS AGAIN AND ON THE RIGHT WAS CITY ADMINSPA. THE LEFT WAS CHAMBERS AGAIN AND
[00:30:08]
ON THE RIGHT WAS CITY ADMIN AREA.LEFT SIDE, TO SPEAK TO THE PREVIOUS TOPIC WHERE PEOPLE CAN STILL COME IN. ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE DOING TO MAKE IT EASIER, HAVE THREE OPPORTUNITIES TO INTERACT WITH STAFF, THE OLD FRONT ENTRANCE, STILL HAS THE ISLAND, WILL BE AROUND ABOUT WITH TWO BOX. ONE FOR TAX, ONE FOR UTILITIES.
HELP BE ABLE TO DROP OFF THERE. IF THEY WALK OFF, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DROP OFF AT THE BUILDING AND INTERACT WITH STAFF THEY CAN DO IT THERE AS WELL.
SO WE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY THERE IS.
JUST A COUPLE OF DATESES HERE. PROJECTS, STATUS UPDATES, PHASE TWO, WILL BE THE SECOND FLOOR. HELP BE DEMOLISHED BETWEEN OCTOBER 28TH AND NOVEMBER 12TH, SO THEY WILL BE GUTTING THE NOOR. THERE WAS TWO SEPARATE SYSTEMS. FIRST FLOOR FROM HVAC SYSTEM AND SECOND FLOOR HVAC SYSTEM AND SEPARATE PLUMING TO EACH AREA.
JUST MILESTONES I GAVE BEFORE. ONE THING I KNOW IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, TALKS ABOUT MILESTONES AND WE ARE STILL WITHIN THE AUTHORIZED BUDGET THAT COUNCIL APPROVED.
ALL CHANGE ORDERS HAVE BEEN ESSENTIALLY ISSUED WE FOUND WITH SOME OF THE BUILDING. ONE OF THE MAJOR CHANGE ORDERS THAT I THINK I MENTIONED THAT LAST COUNCIL MEETING IF THE WINDOWS. HAD A LOT OF DAMAGE.
WE REPLACED SOME OF THE WEEKEND DOUGHS TO AND HAVE REPLACED SOME SO WE DECIDED TO REPLACE ALL OF THEM SO THEY HAVE THE SAME WARRANTY. THOSE WILL BE INSTALLED IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE EXIT DOOR ON THE EASTSIDE OF COUNCIL HAS BEEN CHANGED SO IF YOU DRIVE BY, YOU WILL SEE THAT THE DOOR IS GONE. IT IS NOW SOMEBODY'S OFFICE AND WE HAD A TEMPORARY DOOR ON THE BACKSIDE THAT IS BACK TO SOMEONE'S OFFICE. I WAS THERE TODAY.
ALL THE FLOORING IS. IT WILL BE DONE WITH THE FIRST FLOOR NOVEMBER 1ST. OR SORRY, OCTOBER 30TH, WHICH WILL BE THAT FRIDAY. AND STAFF WILL BE MOVE BACK IN OFFICIALLY OPEN AND THAT WILL JUST BE THE FINANCE STAFF ON THE FIRST FLOOR. NOVEMBER 2ND.
AND AND START RENOVATING THE SPACE UPSTAIRS.
THEY WILL MOVE BACK UPSTAIRS TO THE OLD FINANCE AREA, AND THEN WE PLAN ON MOVING WATER, AND TAX, FIRST WEEK OF MAY.
AND WE WILL PUT OUT PLENTY OF NOTICE TO LET THE RESIDENTS KNOW. I PROMISED ROBIN AND HER STAFF I WOULD NOT MOVE HER DURING TAX SEASON WHICH BEGINS JANUARY 1ST THROUGH APRIL. I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTION. >> ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
>> >> I HAD A RESIDENT REACH OUT.
THERE WILL BE A HANDICAP DOOR FOR THEM TO PAY THEIR STUFF?
>> ABSOLUTELY. ALL THE PARKING SPOTS AND THE FRONT, WILL BE DESIGNATED. ALL THE PARKING UP FRONT WILL WANT BE DESIGNATED FOR RESIDENTS ONLY.
ALL THE SPOTS ON THE EASTSIDE, OF THE PROPERTY WILL BE RESIDENTS PARK. STAFF PARKING WILL BE IN THE BACK. STAFF ENTRANCE COMES OFF THE PARKING LOT ON THE NORTH SIDE. GOES INTO WHERE YOU SEE THE NEW ADDITION. THAT GOES INTO BREAK ROOM AND
THEN LEFT OR RIGHT OR UPSTAIRS. >> THANKS.
YOU WILL NOTICE, IN REGARDS TO ACCESSIBILITY, THE WINDOWS, TWO REGULAR AND SHORTER WINDOWS FOR ANYONE IN WHEELCHAIRS.
THAT IS AN UPGRADE FROM THE CURRENT LEASE SPACE.
THE TAX PREP YEARS FROM THE PUBLIC AREAS AND THOSE WILL -- WE CREATED A LARGER TAX PREP AREA BECAUSE WE HAVE RESIDENTS WHO HAVE TO BRING FAMILY AND SO WE WILL HAVE A LARGER ROOM TO ACCOMMODATE WHEN THEY ARE MEETING WITH STAFF TO GO THROUGH THEIR TAXES. WE WILL HAVE EXTRA ROOM IN
THERE FOR KIDS AND THINGS . >> THANK YOU.
ALEX, WILL THE -- ON THE TIME LINE WE WERE LOOKING AT, MAY, AS A FINAL MOVE IN, IS THAT THE -- THEY WILL VACATE OUR LEASED
[00:35:09]
PREMISES IN THE SHOPPING CENTER AT THAT TIME?>> YES. >> HOUSE DOES THAT LINE UP?
>> ONE OF THE LEASES GOES UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR AND I MET WITH THE LANDLORD LAST WEEK.
AND HE POTENTIALLY ALREADY HAS SOMEBODY FOR THAT SPACE.
THEN THE COLD STORAGE AREA WHERE WE KEPT A LOT OF THE RECORDS, IF YOU WERE THERE BEFORE, IT WAS FULL OF BOX AND PAPER. ALL THOSE RECORDS HAVE BEEN DIGITIZED AND THAT ROOM IS COMPLETELY EMPTY THAT LEASE ENDS THIS YEAR. THEY MAY HAVE SOMEBODY IN MOVEMENT IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO USE THAT SPACE.
WE HAVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TAKES A LOT OF -- A LOT OF PHONE CALLS REGARDING LOOKING FOR SPACES THAT SIZE.
SO WE HAVE WORKED OUT IF WE CAN FIND A TENANT OR THE LANDLORD FIND A TENANT TO LET US OUT OF THE LEASE EARLY.
YOU MENTIONED THAT WE WERE ON SCHEDULE.
HOW WE DO ON COST? >> WE ARE UNDER BUDGET STILL.
STILL WITHIN THE CONTINGENCIES. SO THAT IS ALL GREAT NEWS.
THE BIGGEST AS I MENTIONED, THE CHANGE ORDER WAS THE WINDOW AND
>> AND GOT THREE QUOTES TO TEST THE MARKET.
WE REPLACED THEM WITH THE SAME FRAMES SO THAT WORKED OUT GOOD.
BECAUSE THE STAFF, FINANCE STAFF IS USED TO THOSE WINDOWS.
THEY ARE GOING BACK INTO THE OFFICE.
THEY WILL HAVE WINDOWS THAT, YOU KNOW, CAN SEE OUT OF NOW.
JUST ONE THING I FAILED TO MENTION.
THE OLD CONFIGURATION WAS 16 OFFICES, INCLUDING A FEW BREAK
AREA AND THE NEW WILL BE 32. >> WHAT?
>> DOUBLE THE WORK SPACE? >> RIGHT.
SURE THEY WILL APPRECIATE IT. >> STAFF IS LOOKING FORWARD.
GOT TO GIVE CREDIT TO FINANCE STAFF, THEY HAD TO MOVE UP TO THIS SPACE. AND THEN THEY HAVE TO MOVE BACK AT THE END OF THIS MONTH. AND THEN THEY HAVE TO MOVE BACK UPSTAIRS. WHEN THERE IS SPACE AVAILABLE.
ALL IN THE MIDST OF WHAT AARON WAS TALKING ABOUT.
GOING TO A NEW SOFTWARE AND IMPLEMENTING ALL THIS AND BY THE WAY WE ARE WORKING ON THE 2027 BUDGET AS WELL.
SO I GOT TO GET JIM AND HIS STAFF A LOT OF CREDIT.
THEY KNOW THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.
THEY TACKLED THE MOVES PRETTY WELL.
>> BUT THEY ARE SAYING IMPROVEMENT AND EFFICIENCY.
I'M SURE IT HELPS THEM DEAL WITH IT.
>> THANKS. PROBABLY FOR AARON, SPEAKING OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT, WHEN WILL OUR RESIDENTS BE ABLE TO SEE THE LIVE VIEW OF THEIR WATER USAGE, WATER METRE, THE
SOFTWARE PROGRAM? >> SO VERY SHORTLY WAS A WE TRANSITION TO THE NEW BILLING SYSTEM.
THEY KIND OF WORK TOGETHER HAND IN HAND.
SO WE ARE JUST OVER HALF WAY DONE WITH THE WATER METER.
REPLACEMENT. SO THE SYSTEM IS LIVE.
WE WANTED TO WAIT UNTIL THERE WERE A FEW MORE METRES THAT WERE IN THE GROUND AND OPERATIONAL ON THIS SYSTEM.
BUT IT IS WORKING. OUR STAFF HAS BEEN TESTING IT.
IT IS AVAILABLE. WE JUST HAVEN'T DONE A ROLL OUT YET. LY WORK WITH GARY TO IF WE CAN
ACCELERATE THAT. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.
