MOVING FORWARD WITH THE MINUTES? HEARING NO OBJECTION, THE MINUTES ARE ADOPTED. ITEM NUMBER 3.>> YES. VICE MAYOR, COUNCIL, GOOD TO SEE YOU TONIGHT. A COUPLE OF THINGS COMING UP HERE FOR THIS WEEK AND THEN SOME HIGHLIGHTS I'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU. FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE WERE ALERTED OF SOME LANE CLOSURES ON I-70.
THESE HAVE BEEN POSTED TO OUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS, TO OUR WEBSITE. JUST SO EVERYONE IS AWARE, THEY ARE FIXING THE SOUND BARRIER WALL ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY. SO RIGHT LANE OF I-70 EASTBOUND COMING IN TO 202 WILL BE CLOSED WEDNESDAY, TOMORROW, THE 21ST, THROUGH THURSDAY THE 29TH. THEY WILL STILL HAVE TRAFFIC MAINTAINED THERE, BUT THEY'LL HAVE SOME SIGNAGE AND 1 OF THE LANES WILL BE BLOCKED THERE. THURSDAY THE 22ND, THEY'LL HAVE DETOUR SIGNS UP. AND ALL THAT'S LOCATED ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT WE DID HAVE A LINK TO THE ODOT WEBSITE AS WELL SO YOU CAN SEE THOSE. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO YOU LAST WEEK BY AARON, WHO COVERED FOR ME WHILE I WAS OUT.
BUT JUST A REMINDER THAT THE BILLING SOFTWARE UPGRADE IS COMING. AND A COUPLE OF THINGS.
ONE, THE BIGGEST THING IS OVER THE YEARS WE'VE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH THE FLEXIBILITY AND THE EASE OF USE.
THIS IS GOING TO MAKE ALL THAT BETTER AND EASIER.
THERE'S GOING TO BE NO CHARGE NOW FOR HCH PAYMENTS.
THE NEW BILLS WILL START GOING OUT MID NOVEMBER.
THERE WILL BE ACCOUNT SETUP INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BILLS.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR US, A COUPLE KEY DATES TO PUT IN YOUR HEAD.
ON NOVEMBER 3RD, IT WILL BE THE LAST DAY TO PAY IN-PERSON OR ONLINE FOR A PERIOD OF EIGHT BUSINESS DAYS.
THE WATER OFFICE IS GOING TO BE CLOSED FROM THE 4TH TO THE 13TH.
THEY WILL BE DOING EMERGENCY REPAIRS AND WATER TURN ONES, SO THAT WON'T BE AFFECTED. THE WATER OFFICE WILL REOPEN ON NOVEMBER 16TH. AND BECAUSE OF THESE SHUTDOWNS AND DELAY, WE'VE ESTABLISHED THERE WILL BE NO LATE FEES OR SHUT OFFS THROUGH JANUARY 2ND. SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT AS WELL. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO OUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT, WE ARE HIRING.
JOBS, JOBS, AND JOBS. WE HAVE JOBS TO GIVE, AND WE NEED PEOPLE TO FILL THEM. THE POLICE JUST OPENED UP THEIR LOTTO ENTRY AND THEIR NEW HIRES, SO THAT'S OPEN.
EVERYTHING YOU CAN SEE ON HERE WILL BE ON OUR WEBSITE.
FIRE ALSO JUST POSTED FOR ENTRY LEVEL AND LATERAL LEVEL PARAMEDICS. AND THERE'S STILL A MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN AS WELL. WE'RE COMING OUT OF FIRE PREVENTION WEEK. IF YOU'VE BEEN AROUND HERE AND YOU'VE SEEN THE OPENHOUSE AND SOME OF THE THINGS WE'VE DONE, WE USED TO HAVE A GROUP CALLED CASEY AND THE FIRE DOGS.
THEY CAME OUT AROUND THE INDIANAPOLIS AREA.
JEFF IS ONE WHO DID IT. HE BROUGHT HIS LABS.
JEFF HAD TO RETIRE DUE TO SOME ILLNESSES, SO WE TOOK SOME TIME TO LOOK AT THINGS AND REVAMP OUR PROGRAM.
SO WE ACTUALLY EMPLOYED OUR GENOUSES AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY CAME UP WITH A SKIT THAT THEY DID.
PROBABLY 15, 20 MINUTES LONG. THEY VISITED ALL OF HUBER HEIGHTS SCHOOLS, ELEMENTARIES, MIDDLE SCHOOL.
THEY ALSO WENT TO ST. PETERS. AND THEY TAUGHT THE FIVE GOLDEN RULES. WE DO HAVE A VIDEO I'LL TRY TO SHARE WITH YOU GUYS AFTER TONIGHT SO YOU CAN SEE.
THE KIDS LOVED IT, IT WAS VERY ENTERTAINING.
AND THEY GOT THE MESSAGE ACROSS OF, YOU KNOW, MATCHES AND
[00:05:01]
LIGHTERS AREN'T TOYS. CALL 911.SMOKE DETECTORS. STAY LOW AND GO.
AND THEN MEETING PLACES. THEY DID A REALLY NICE JOB.
IT WAS VERY ENTERTAINING TO WATCH AS WELL.
WE DID HAVE A RETIREMENT AS WELL.
MARK LYNNE RETIRED FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT LAST WEEK WITH 25 YEARS OF SERVICE. MARK CAME ON RIGHT AFTER I DID.
HE'S BEEN HERE A LONG TIME. AND HE WAS MOST NOTABLY ONE OF THE INTEGRAL MEMBERS OF OUR FIRE INVESTIGATIVE UNIT.
WHEN WE HAD AN ARSON OR THREAT OF ARSON, WE WOULD SEND HIM OUT AND HE WOULD DO THE INVESTIGATION FOR US.
A COUPLE OF THINGS YOU'VE SEEN. THIS FRIDAY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE HAPPY HAUNTED TRAIL. I DID TALK TO SARAH THIS MORNING. IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT 7 TO 10 COMMUNITY GROUPS, CHURCH GROUPS COMING OUT TO HELP ALONG THE PATH. SO JUST MAKE SURE YOU COME OUT FROM 5 TO 9 AT COMMUNITY PARK. WE DO HAVE OUR FALCON CERTIFICATE. THIS ONE WAS RESCHEDULED FROM A RAIN DATE EARLIER THIS YEAR. THIS IS GOING TO BE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24TH, FROM 4 TO 7. AND THEN JUST A REMINDER, TRICK-OR-TREAT IS THE 31ST FROM 6 TO 8:00 P.M.
AND I'LL TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU, JOHN.
[ Military And Veterans Commission Update]
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CITY MANAGER? NO QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT.THANKS AGAIN, JOHN. ITEM 3 B, MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMISSION UPDATE. MR. WINDSOR.
I'M GUESSING THAT'S YOU, SIR. >> GOOD EVENING TO THE COUNCIL.
FIRST OF ALL I'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE HCH FEES. APPRECIATE THAT.
MY NAME IS ANTHONY WINDSOR. MOST OF YOU GUYS KNOW ME.
I'M JUST GOING TO GIVE YOU OUR YEARLY UPDATE.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE. I APPRECIATE IT.
IN OPENING I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THE COMMISSION CONTINUES TO HONOR SERVICE MEMBERS AND FALLEN MILITARY PERSONNEL, ENGAGE MILITARY FAMILIES, AND BUILD PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN VETERANS, SCHOOLS, THE CITY, AND THE AIRFORCE BASE.
FOR 2026, OUR COMMISSION MEMBERSHIP HAS GROWN.
SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
IT WAS HARD FOR US SOMETIMES TO GET QUORUM, AS YOU KNOW.
SO THE COMMISSION HAS GROWN FROM JUST FIVE MEMBERS AND NOW WE'RE AT FULL CAPACITY. SO I THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT DID THE INTERVIEWS. I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO DO THAT FOR US. BY BEING AT FULL CAPACITY, THIS STRENGTHENS OUR ABILITY TO SUPPORT AND BUILD THE MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMUNITY. WE HAD A MEMORIAL CEREMONY RECOGNIZING THOSE WHO DIED IN SERVICE TO THE NATION.
WE HAD OUR HIGH SCHOOL VETERANS NIGHT, WHICH IS ON SEPTEMBER THE 4TH. WE WORK WITH WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL TO RECOGNIZE MILITARY MEMBERS AND VETERANS DURING FOOTBALL GAMES. BRINGING MILITARY APPRECIATION TO STUDENTS AND FAMILY IN THE BROADER COMMUNITY.
WE ALSO PARTNERED WITH AN ORGANIZATION THAT PURCHASED A FLAG. WE GOT ALL ALONG WITH THE CHEER LEADERS AND THE BAND MEMBERS AND PULLED THIS FLAG OUT.
AND OF COURSE WE WAVED IT WHEN THEY RECOGNIZED ALL THE MILITARY FAMILIES THAT WERE THERE. IT WAS VERY TOUCHING.
IT WAS VERY, VERY NICE. AND THEN OF COURSE WE HAD THAT TROPHY THAT WE GIVE OUT EVERY YEAR FOR THAT GAME.
OUR -- WE HAVE A NEW ETHIC DIRECTOR.
HE DIDN'T REALIZE MAYBE YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT FACING THEIR RIVAL. NEXT YEAR WE'RE GOING TO SCHEDULE THE GAME TOGETHER, WHICH I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE.
ALSO THEY GAVE OUT THE T-SHIRTS. ONCE AGAIN, THE T-SHIRTS WERE AMAZING. EVERYONE LOVED THEM.
THE PATTERN, THE COLOR, THAT'S ALL ANYBODY WAS TALKING ABOUT.
I'M VERY PROUD OF THAT. YOU GUYS DO A GOOD JOB.
WE HAVE OUR MILITARY HONORS PREPAY PROGRAM THAT WE DO.
WE'RE CONTINUING TO DISCUSS THAT, AND IF YOU WANT TO READ -- IT'S REFLECTED IN OUR SEPTEMBER REPORT IF ANYBODY WANTS TO READ IT. WE HAVE OUR VETERANS DAY MEMORIAL SERVICE ON NOVEMBER THE 11TH.
WE HAVE SECURED AS OUR GUEST SPEAKER A COMMANDER OF THE 88TH AIR BASE. SO THE BASE COMMANDER IS GOING
TO BE HERE FOR OUR CELEBRATION. >> OH, COOL.
GOOD. >> I'M VERY PLEASED ABOUT THAT.
THAT ALSO GIVES US A CHANCE TO STRENGTHEN OUR MILITARY TIES HERE. AND ONCE AGAIN, MY FLYOVER GOT CANCELLED. BUT I'LL LEAVE THAT ALONE.
THAT'S THREE TIMES NOW. THE CHRISTMAS PARADE IS COMING UP IN DECEMBER. WE VOLUNTEERED TO BE IN THE
[00:10:02]
CHRISTMAS CARD. OUR COMMISSION BOARD MEMBER, HE'S ALSO A SERVICE MEMBER. HE WILL BE RETURNING HOME AFTER GOING ON A TOUR. NOT THAT TYPE OF TOUR.MILITARY TOUR OVERSEAS. SO WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND HONOR HIM, AND HE'S GOING TO BE IN THE PARADE WITH US.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SIGN FOR HIM, AND HE'S GOING TO RIDE WITH US. WE'RE PROUD TO HAVE MILITARY MEMBERS IN OUR COMMUNITY SERVING ABROAD FOR US.
AND I KNOW HE'D BE HAPPY TO GET BACK TO HIS FAMILY, SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO GET HIS FAMILY TO RIDE WITH HIM AS WELL.
WE'RE PLANNING ON -- I KNOW IT'S FAR OUT, BUT IN JUNE WE WANT TO HAVE A CAR SHOW. BECAUSE WE HAVE A GROUP CALLED INVITE A VET FOUNDATION, AND THEY CAME TO US ASKING US IF WE WOULD PARTNER WITH THEM TO HAVE A CAR SHOW HERE IN HUBER HEIGHTS. SO WE'RE DOING THE EVENT PLANNING. WE'RE LOOKING AT LOGISTICS.
I'LL PUT THAT ON THE RADAR NOW. THAT'S SOMETIME IN JUNE.
OF COURSE I'LL LET YOU GUYS KNOW AS WE PROGRESS ALONG HOW IT GOES. AND THEN IN CLOSING, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THE COMMISSION HAS GROWN FROM FIVE MEMBERS TO FULL CAPACITY AND CONTINUES TO EXPAND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THROUGH REMEMBRANCE CEREMONIES, OUR SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS, AND NEW EVENTS. WE ARE CREATING NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR MILITARY MEMBERS, VETERANS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO CONNECT. WE'RE GOING TO COME UP WITH THE OFFICIAL NUMBER FOR YOU GUYS, OKAY?
I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. WINDSOR? NANCY.
>> NUMBER ONE, HOW IS THE RESPONSE GOING FOR THE HUBER
HEIGHTS CITY SCHOOL WALL OF -- >> OH, YEAH.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING SOME MORE UP COMING UP IN DECEMBER.
AND SHE HAS A GROUP OF NAMES THIS TIME.
I HAD THREE, FOUR PEOPLE THAT I GRADUATED WITH THAT I GOT THEIR INFORMATION, SO THEY'LL BE PUT ON THERE AS WELL.
>> WONDERFUL. AND DO WE HAVE THE COIN SITUATION WORKED OUT SO WE CAN GIVE THE COMMANDER A COIN?
>> YES, MA'AM. WE HAVE A COIN LEFT.
>> I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT THE COMMISSION HAS THE REQUISITE NUMBER OF MEMBERS NEEDED. THANK ALL OF THOSE MEN AND WOMEN FOR THEIR CONTINUING TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS OUR COUNTRY. I THINK WE HAVE KITCHENER.
OR 1600 HOURS, DEPENDING ON WHICH WAY YOU ROLL.
>> AND WE'LL HAVE [INAUDIBLE] THERE.
AND BEFORE I LEAVE, I WANTED TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW WE WERE ABLE TO SPONSOR ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE YOUNG MARINES.
FOR ANYBODY WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHO THE YOUNG MARINES ARE, IT'S A FABULOUS ORGANIZATION. THEY TEACH YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN DISCIPLINE, ALL THE THINGS THEY NEED TO KNOW.
FITNESS. THEY LEARN ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. AND THEY ALWAYS ARE THERE TO SUPPORT US FOR EVERY EVENT THAT WE HAVE.
TIRELESSLY. LIKE, I SEND AN EMAIL, THEY'RE THERE. THEY CAME TO US WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPONSOR YOUNG MARINES TO GO TO PEARL HARBOR ON DECEMBER THE 7TH. THEY'VE GOT A PARADE AND A BIG CELEBRATION. WE WERE ABLE TO SPONSOR ONE OF THOSE YOUNG MEN OR WOMAN TO GO, SO WE'RE REALLY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS.
I REALLY, REALLY DO. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[ Capital Lease - New Fire Engines]
>> DO YOU NEED ANYMORE QUESTIONS FROM ME?
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
>> ITEM 3 C. NEW FIRE ENGINES.
I THINK THAT'S THMR. BELL. >> YES.
I SEE THE SUN'S IN YOUR EYE OVER THERE.
I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE FIRE CHIEF THAT THE TWO FIRE ENGINES, WHICH WERE ORIGINALLY JUST ONE FIRE ENGINE THAT WE ORDERED WAY BACK IN 2023, WAS -- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF THIS, BUT WE CAME TO THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR AND THEY STILL HADN'T SENT IT TO US. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE BY THE END OF '25. SO WE MADE A DEAL WITH THEM THAT WE WOULD GET A SECOND ONE BECAUSE WE WERE GETTING READY TO ORDER AGAIN. SO WE'RE GETTING TWO ENGINES AT THE SAME TIME AND GETTING A NICE PRICE BREAK ON THAT.
SO THE TOTAL OF THE TWO TOGETHER ARE 1,632,000 AND SOME CHANGE.
I DO APOLOGIZE THAT THIS WAS NOT IN YOUR COUNCIL PACKET.
NORMALLY IT IS, BUT I HAD A VERY TIGHT TIMEFRAME TO GET THIS BACK
[00:15:01]
TO YOU. LITERALLY THEY WERE JUST COMING IN AS LATE AS 4 O'CLOCK THIS AFTERNOON.I DO HAVE, OF THOSE TEN, I RECEIVED FIVE PROPOSALS.
ONE I'M THROWING OUT BECAUSE I ASKED FOR A QUOTE FOR 15 YEARS OF PAYBACK AND THEY -- THAT WAS HUNTINGTON BANK.
ONLY WAS WILLING TO DO TEN. THE USEFUL LIFE WE'RE GETTING OUT OF THESE ENGINES IS USUALLY 15, 20 YEARS AT LEAST.
I THOUGHT 15 WAS A FAIR REQUEST FOR PAYBACK, AND THEY COULD NOT MEET THAT. NORMALLY I GET GOOD QUOTES ON AMBULANCES FROM THEM. I BROUGHT TO COUNCIL BEFORE.
USUALLY HUNTINGTON, OUR U.S. BANK, IS THE LOWEST QUOTE.
THAT WAS NOT THE CASE THIS TIME. NOW WE'RE DOWN TO FOUR QUOTES.
THERE WAS A QUOTE FROM CUSTOMERS PUBLIC CAPITAL CORP, WHICH I'VE NEVER WORKED WITH BEFORE. AND THAT WAS SOMEONE HAD FORWARDED THE -- SOMEONE I SENT IT TO, THEY FORWARDED IT TO ONE OF THEIR FRIENDS. THEY WERE NOT ONE OF THE LOWEST QUOTES. U.S. BANK, AS I SAID, WHICH IS USUALLY THE LOWEST, THEY WERE NOT THE LOWEST THIS TIME.
THE LOWEST WAS BANK OF AMERICA, AND I HAVE NOT WORKED WITH THEM EITHER. I'LL BE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH OUR BOND COUNCIL, WHO WAS JUST HERE NOT LONG AGO WITH OUR BOND ISSUES COMING UP, AND I'LL WORK WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CRAFT A GOOD MASTER LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT THAT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS. OF COURSE HE REPRESENTS OUR BOND COUNSEL, SO THESE ARE OBVIOUSLY VERY LENGTHY LEGAL DOCUMENTS.
IF THAT CAN GET CRAFTED BEFORE THE TIMEFRAME FOR COUNCIL TO ACT ON THAT MONDAY NIGHT, I WOULD LIKE IT ACTED ON.
BECAUSE THE FIRE ENGINES ARE SUPPOSED TO COME IN THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 16TH. SO WE WANT TO HAVE THAT PAYMENT READY FOR THEM. IF IT DOESN'T GET PASSED MONDAY, THE NEXT CHANCE TO PASS IT WOULD BE NOVEMBER 9TH, WHICH IS CUTTING IT A LITTLE BIT CLOSE. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GET THOSE AGREEMENTS DONE, IT TAKES SOMETIMES ABOUT TWO WEEKS BEFORE THEY CAN MAKE A PAYMENT TO THE VENDOR FOR THOSE -- AND THESE WILL BE PURCHASED THROUGH SUTVAN.
I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS PASSED ON MONDAY, IF POSSIBLE.
THE QUOTE THEY GAVE WAS A ACTUAL AMOUNT FOR 15 YEARS.
IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL NOVEMBER OF 2027 AND BE FINISHED IN NOVEMBER OF 2041. AND THAT'S FOR TWO.
THAT'S FOR TWO FIRE ENGINES. SO WHEN I COMPARED THAT TO U.S.
GOVERNMENT BANK'S QUOTE, WHICH IS 16,169,733 OVER THAT 15-YEAR PERIOD, IT WOULD SAVE US ABOUT $84,000 IN TOTAL IF WE WENT WITH BANK OF AMERICA. SO IF I CAN GET THE LEGAL TEAMS TO WORK THAT OUT AND HAVE THAT READY FOR YOU BY MONDAY, I WILL HAVE THAT READY. AND FOR ANY REASON THEY -- THE LAWYERS ARE NOT OKAY WITH THAT, THEN WE'LL GO WITH THE SECOND LOWEST QUOTE, WHICH WOULD BE U.S. GOVERNMENT BANK LEASING AND FINANCE. SO YOU'LL SEE ONE OR THE OTHER
ON MONDAY NIGHT. >> ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
>> WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN COST BETWEEN THAT ONE AND THE SECOND
ONE? >> THAT WAS $84,000 IN TOTAL OVER THE 15 YEARS. IF IT WAS CLOSER, I WOULD HAVE SAID LET'S JUST GO WITH U.S. GOVERNMENT BANK.
WE'VE DONE SEVERAL LEASES WITH THEM.
BUT 84,000 GOT MY ATTENTION. USUALLY WHEN YOU PUT OUT BIDS FOR CAPITAL LEASING -- LIKE, ALL THE OTHER THREE QUOTES OUT OF THESE FOUR WERE ALL WITHIN A THOUSAND DOLLARS OF EACH OTHER.
SO VERY, VERY CLOSE. WHICH IS TYPICAL.
SO THEIR QUOTE WAS ABOUT 5,500 LOWER ACTUALLY.
I THINK THAT'S WORTH LOOKING INTO, IF WE CAN MAKE AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM. ALWAYS WANT TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR THE RESIDENTS AND THE LOWEST COST POSSIBLE.
AND OF COURSE THIS WOULD BE PAID OUT OF THE FIRE CAPITAL FUND, WHICH WE HAVE INCOME TAX DOLLARS COMING IN TO SUPPORT CAPITAL PURCHASES FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
SO THAT'S WHERE I WOULD PUT THAT IN THE 2027 BUDGET.
MS. BAKER. >> THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR.
JIM, WOULD THIS NEED TO BE PASSED AS EMERGENCY LEGISLATION ON MONDAY? IS THAT HOW YOU WANT IT PASSED?
>> YES. I BELIEVE IT IS AN ORDNANCE, SO
IT WOULD NEED -- >> TYPICALLY AN ORDNANCE.
YOU TOOK MY QUESTION. >> WHEN IT'S INVOLVING FINANCING OF A LARGE DOLLAR AMOUNT. THE PRINCIPAL OF THIS WOULD BE A
MILLION AND 632 THOUSAND. >> WILL THE TERMS BE IN OUR
[00:20:03]
PACKET FOR MONDAY, LIKE YOU SAID?>> SO WE'LL WAVE THE SECOND READING.
>> I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT, YES. >> ANY OBJECTIONS TO MOVING THIS
[ Carriage Trails II TIF District]
FOR MONDAY? ALL RIGHT.THANK YOU, MR. BELL. >> THANK YOU.
>> ITEM 3 D. CARRIAGE TRAILS TIF DISTRICT.
>> THIS WILL ALLOW AFFECTED RESIDENTS OR PROPERTY OWNERS, I SHOULD SAY, TO BE ABLE TO OPT OUT OF THE DISTRICT.
IT IS ONE OF THE REQUIRED STEPS IN ESTABLISHING THE TIF DISTRICT. WE SENT OUT NOTIFICATION A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. WE SENT 44 INDIVIDUAL LETTERS IN ADDITION TO THE NVR AND FISHER HOMES, AS WELL AS DECK.
BUT WE'VE HEARD NOTHING FROM ANYBODY REGARDING THIS, SO I DON'T ANTICIPATE ANY TURNOUT. BUT IT IS A REQUIRED STEP.
>> THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR AARON?
NANCY. >> AARON, ARE WE DOING FIVE DISTRICTS INSTEAD OF ONE BECAUSE OF -- OR TO ALLOW AN EARLY
MATURITY ON EACH ONE? >> CORRECT.
FIVE DISTRICTS BASED ON THE WAY WE BELIEVE THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL BE PLATTED SO THAT WE CAN MAXIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR
>> IN FACT, DISTRICT I IS LARGELY PLATTED ALREADY.
[ Annexation - Churches Of Christ (Parcel Number A01-250094)/Cassel Hills Church (Parcel Numbers A01-010200/A01-086220) - 5.901 Acres - Bethel Township]
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANY OBJECTION MOVING THIS ONTO MONDAY? ALL RIGHT.THANK YOU. ITEM 3 E, ANNEXATION CHURCHES OF CHRIST, CASSEL HILLS CHURCH. PARCEL NUMBERS 801-010200/A01-086220. 5.9 ACRES OF BETHEL TOWNSHIP.
I'M THINKING THAT'S YOU TWO? >> IT IS.
SO THIS WOULD BE MOSTLY THE FINAL STEP.
THIS WOULD BE ACCEPTING JUST UNDER SIX ACRES OF PROPERTY INTO THE CITY THROUGH ANNEXATION. THEY HAD APPROACHED US A WHILE AGO. IT'S A CHURCH ORGANIZATION THAT DOES DISASTER RECOVERY. THEY EVENTUALLY WANT TO BUILD A STORAGE FACILITY. THEY HAVE A LOT OF THEIR PRODUCT THERE ALREADY SITTING OUTDOORS. SO THIS IS THE NEXT STEP.
AND THEN OUR CODE DOESN'T -- THE CODE IS SILENT ON ZONING WHEN IT COMES TO ANNEXATION. SO THE NEXT STEP -- IF THE ANNEXATION IS ACCEPTED, WE WILL THEN GO TO PLANNING COMMISSION WITH A REZONING REQUEST AND A REPLAT REQUEST.
SO YOU'LL SEE THAT AGAIN AS WELL.
>> JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION.
THIS IS SOUTH OF 40? >> IT IS JUST SOUTH OF 40.
IT'S WITHIN THE AREA THAT WAS AGREED TO WITH BETHEL TOWNSHIP AS PART OF THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT.
>> AND JUST ONE TYPO. IT SAYS 5.091 ACRES.
IT SHOULD BE 5.901, CORRECT? >> I BELIEVE THAT'S CORRECT.
I WILL DOUBLE CHECK. >> THANK YOU.
>> I MAY HAVE TRANSPOSED THOSE NUMBERS.
I'LL DOUBLE CHECK. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM? ALL RIGHT. ANY OBJECTION TO MOVING THIS ON TO MONDAY? OKAY.
ONE LAST ITEM OF BUSINESS. ADJOURNMENT.
I GUESS THAT'S IT. WE'RE DONE.
>> [INAUDIBLE]. >> UNLESS YOU
