[ City Manager Report]
IS OUR WORK SESSION TOPICS OF DISCUSSION THIS EVENING.AND ITEM THREE A AS A CITY MANAGER REPORT.
MR. SCHOMER IS NOT WITH US THIS EVENING.
SO MR. WAKOWSKI, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE.
I WILL BE BRIEF SINCE WE HAD SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES THERE.
UM, THE FIRST THING IS, UH, THE PARADE AND FIREWORKS OVER THE WEEKEND.
THINGS WORKED OUT GREAT, UH, UTILIZING THE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND OUR, UH, THE WAY WE DID PARKING, UH, THAT KIND OF THINGS THAT ARE, UH, FIREWORKS WERE GREAT.
ONE OF THE BEST WE'VE EVER SEEN THERE, AND A LOT OF GREAT COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC.
OUR VOLUNTEERS DID A WONDERFUL JOB, SO A BIG THANKS TO ALL OF THEM.
UM, ALSO IF YOU GO TO OUR WEBSITE, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT WE CAN NOW ACCEPT ONLINE PAYMENTS.
UM, THERE, UH, WE'RE WORKING THROUGH, IT'S KIND OF, WE'LL CALL IT BETA TESTING RIGHT NOW, BUT WE CAN'T ACCEPT THEM RIGHT NOW, BUT WE'RE, UH, TAKING FEEDBACK ON IF THERE'S ANY ISSUES ANYBODY HAS IN TRYING TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS ITSELF.
UM, AND THEN LASTLY, IF YOU, UH, LISTEN TO THE GOVERNOR THIS MORNING, OR THIS AFTERNOON, UH, MONTGOMERY COUNTY PORTION OF HUBER HEIGHTS DOES NOW HAVE MASK RESTRICTIONS.
WE WILL SEE HOW THAT AFFECTS OUR CITY BUILDINGS AND ANY OF THOSE KINDS OF THINGS OVER THE NEXT DAY, BEFORE THAT GOES INTO EFFECT TOMORROW AT SIX O'CLOCK THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR TONIGHT.
I JUST SORT OF WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT.
I, SO FROM CLOUD PARK, I SAW THE, UH, THE, THE DRONE COVERAGE.
UM, YOU COULD ACTUALLY SEE IT FROM, YOU KNOW, UH, THE AERIAL VIEW AND YOU COULD SEE ALL THE CARS, HOW THEY WERE PARKED THE SPACING OF ALL THE CARS.
UH, SO DEFINITELY THE PEOPLE THAT WERE WORKING, VOLUNTEERING, MAKING SURE EVERYBODY WAS PARKED IN THE RIGHT PLACES.
IT JUST WAS AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT.
AGAIN, THE FIREWORKS WAS THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN IN HEBREW.
UM, I THINK THEY, THEY PSYCHED A FEW PEOPLE OUT OF THOSE.
A COUPLE OF FINALES PEOPLE THOUGHT WAS GOING TO BE THE END AND THEN IT JUST KEPT GOING.
SO FOR, UH, I THINK WHAT WE PAID FOR A 25 MINUTE FIREWORK SHOW WAS PRETTY INCREDIBLE.
I MEAN, IT WAS, IT WAS REALLY, REALLY GREAT.
I'M GLAD TO SEE EVERYBODY COME OUT, ENJOY THAT.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FROM ANY OTHER CITIES THAT CAME, UH, TO SPEND THAT TIME WITH US.
IT WAS JUST, IT WAS A GREAT EVENT AND COULDN'T BE HAPPIER AND THANKFUL FOR EVERYBODY THAT PARTICIPATED AND HELPED PULL THAT OFF.
IT WAS, IT WAS REALLY, REALLY A GREAT THING TO SEE.
UH, ANY OTHER COMMENTS, UM, FOR MR. WAKOWSKI ON THE FEW SHORT ITEMS THAT WAS IN HIS UPDATE.
MS. BIRCH, WHERE YOU, WE WERE KIND OF TALKING OVER ONE ANOTHER FOR A MINUTE.
SO DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT YOU WANTED TO ADD? I DIDN'T HEAR YOU.
WHEN I WAS, UH, I HAD A COUPLE OF COMMENTS FOR SCOTT DURING THE CITY MANAGER REPORT.
SO I THINK I MIGHT HAVE HEARD US TALKING OVER ONE ANOTHER.
SO IF I HEARD YOU, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO, UM, TO ASK A QUESTION OR, OR MAKE ANY COMMENTS.
[ HRA Account Contract Change]
NEXT STEP IS I AM THREE B, WHICH IS THE HRE ACCOUNT CONTRACT CHANGE.I'M ASSUMING KATIE'S HERE FOR THAT.
SO TONIGHT WE HAVE LIKE SPANK, UM, THERE'S GOING TO BE LEGISLATION GOING FROM LUX FLEX BANK TO NAVEA.
SO FLEX BANK IS OUR CURRENT HRA PROVIDER OR THIRD PARTY ADMINISTRATOR.
SO WITH THE CITY'S INSURANCE, WE HAVE AN HSA AND AN HRA.
SO WITH THE HRA, IT'S A HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ARRANGEMENT.
THEY BASICALLY MAKE SURE WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE.
ALL THE EMPLOYEES SEND THEIR INFORMATION TO THEM.
THEY FOLLOW UP AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH IRS.
SO FLUX BANK IS NOW TRANSITIONING TO NAVEA BENEFIT SOLUTIONS.
SO THIS NEW AGREEMENT IS JUST THAT IT'S JUST REASSIGNING.
ALL THE TPA RESPONSIBILITY TO NAVEA FEES ARE THE SAME.
THEY'RE NOT GETTING RID OF ANYBODY.
SO THIS LEGISLATION WILL COME BEFORE YOU MONDAY NIGHT.
UM, YOU DON'T HAVE THE AGREEMENT THIS EVENING, MR. MACDONALD'S OFFICE REVIEWED IT.
[00:05:01]
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHANGES, ONE BEING THE INDEMNITY, WHICH WE CANNOT AGREE TO THAT.UM, AND THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS, WHICH THEY HAD TWO YEARS AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR UNDER OHIO LAW WOULD BE EIGHT YEARS.
SO THERE'S THE THINGS WE SENT BACK TO FLEX BANK FOR THEIR APPROVAL.
UM, HOPEFULLY THEY'LL GET ME SOMETHING TOMORROW AND THEN I'LL HAVE THAT IN THE PACKET FOR YOU TOMORROW FOR MONDAY NIGHT.
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. ICELAND? OKAY.
ANY OBJECTIONS, MOVE THAT ON TO MONDAY'S COUNCIL MEETING AS SOON AS WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN THE PACKET THAT WE NEED AND THE UPDATED INFORMATION.
[ Montgomery County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program]
IS ITEM THREE C, WHICH IS THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, WHICH IS THE CDBG PROGRAM.UM, INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET IS A PROPOSED RESOLUTION AND, UH, THE CITY'S GRANT APPLICATION FOR CDBG FUNDS.
UH, THIS PROJECT THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS FOR BLIGHT REMEDIATION IN MIAMI VILLAS.
UH, IT IS TO FORECLOSE ON TWO PARCELS AND PURCHASE A THIRD, UH, AND THEN, UH, REMOVE STRUCTURES FROM TWO OF THOSE THREE PARCELS.
UH, AND THEN WE WOULD, UM, UH, RESURFACE THOSE PARCELS WITH, UH, OHIO WILD, NATURAL WILD FLOWERS AND PRAIRIE GRASSES AND LAND BANK, THOSE, UH, GOING FORWARD.
SO, UH, OUR APPLICATION CALLS FOR, UM, AGAIN, A HUNDRED AND IT'S ALMOST $160,000.
UH, THE MAJORITY OF THAT 107,000 WILL COME FROM, UH, THE, THE FUND ITSELF, THE, UH, THE CDBG FUNDS AND THEN 52,500.
THE BALANCE WILL BE THE CITY'S MONEY AND OF THOSE, UH, OF THOSE MONIES.
UM, MOST OF THAT, UH, IS ALREADY INCLUDED, EXCUSE ME, 24,000 OF THAT IS ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET.
SO REAL NEW DOLLARS TO THE BUDGET WOULD BE ABOUT 28,000.
WE WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL, MOVE THIS RESOLUTION ONTO THE AGENDA FOR, UH, FOR NEXT WEEK, UH, AND, UH, AND MOVE THAT LEGISLATION FORWARD.
THANKS, JERRY IS, I KNOW THERE WAS ONE PROPERTY DOWN THERE OFF OF, UM, RIP RAP THAT WE HAD A COMPLAINT ABOUT THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH THE COURTS TRYING TO GET THAT IS SO WE CAN DEMOLISH THAT PROPERTY BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION.
IS THIS, IS THAT PROPERTY, ONE OF THESE TO DEMOLISH THAT, ANY WAVE THAT, OKAY.
YOU'RE NOT COMING BACK CLEAR ON THE MIC YET MAYBE TO GET A LITTLE CLOSER.
SO WAS IT LIKE, OKAY, YOU JUST W WHERE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE COURTS WE WEREN'T ABLE TO, UH, THEY WOULD, THEY WOULDN'T GRANT US THE ABATEMENT, IS THAT THE PROCESS WE WERE TRYING TO GO THROUGH, UM, JUST TO GET THAT ABATEMENT ON THERE SO WE COULD DEMOLISH THE PROPERTY AND THAT DIDN'T WORK.
AND NOW THIS IS KIND OF OUR PLAN B, IS THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE OR AT LEAST FOR THAT PROPERTY? YES.
UM, WE'RE STILL TRYING TO GET THE PROPERTY UNDER CONTROL BECAUSE THE OWNER IS DEAD AND ALL OF HIS HEIRS ARE RUNNING AWAY SAYING WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
AND SO WE HAVE TO SERVE BY PUBLICATION OR OPEN UP A PROBATE ESTATE, AND THE COURTS SHUT DOWN IN APRIL AND WE CAN'T GET MOTIONS TO DO THINGS.
AND SO IT'S JUST BEEN A DELAY AFTER DELAY.
AND, UM, BUT THE, THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT IS WE'RE STILL PROCEEDING THROUGH THE COURT AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO, TO DO THAT.
AND THE REQUEST FROM THE COURT IS TO TEAR DOWN THE PROPERTY, NOT TO TAKE TITLE TO THE PROPERTY, BUT JUST TEAR IT DOWN.
UM, THAT'S WHAT WE'D HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE OUT OF OUR OWN FUNDS TO DO THAT.
NOW WE POTENTIALLY WILL HAVE SOME FUNDS FROM THIS GRANT THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO APPLY TO DUKE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR, YES, TORONTO, AND JUST FOR FOLKS OUT THERE THAT ARE LISTENING IN, UH, UH, I KNOW SOME PEOPLE COULD SOMETIMES HAVE CONCERNS WITH THESE TYPES OF ACTIONS, BUT THESE ARE PROPERTIES THAT ARE NOT ONLY DILAPIDATED AND DISREPAIR, BUT EVEN AS FAR AS THE ONES COMPLETELY BURNT OUT, CORRECT.
CAUSE AREN'T JUST SOMEBODY WHOSE HOMES THEY LIVE.
AND THESE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO EITHER A ARE PROPERTIES WHERE THERE IS AN ABSENT OWNER OR WHERE THERE IS A WILLING SELLER.
THIS IS NOT ANY COMPEL COMPULSORY BEHAVIOR ON BEHALF OF THE CITY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OKAY.
ANY OBJECTIONS TO A MOOSE? THIS IS THE APPLICATION PROCESS THAT WE NEED TO DO, AND THIS IS THE EXTRA MONEY THAT'S BUILT INTO THAT.
ANY OBJECTIONS TO MOVING THAT FORWARD TO MONDAY NIGHT? OKAY.
SEEING NONE, WE'LL MOVE THAT ONTO THE COUNCIL MEETING NEXT UP AS ITEM THREE
[ Lehman Farm - Economic Development Presentation]
D WHICH IS THE LAYMAN FARM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION.SCOTT, BRIAN'S GOING TO ACTUALLY BE MAKING, OKAY.
OH, IS THIS THE, IS THIS THE INFAMOUS? YES.
DO I JUST USE THIS KEYBOARD HERE? YES.
[00:10:06]
I WILL TREAT IT GENTLY.SO, UM, IF YOU WILL RECALL, UM, WE, AS STAFF WERE BEFORE YOU SEVERAL MONTHS PREVIOUSLY, UH, REQUESTING SOME FUNDS FOR THE ENGAGEMENT OF SERVICES BY A FIRM CALLED SB FRIEDMAN OUT OF CHICAGO TO REVIEW AND EVALUATE, UM, OUR PARCEL AND, UH, AND THE SURROUNDING PARCELS, AND TO TELL US, UH, RELATIVE TO OUR LOCAL ECONOMY, WHAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE OR EXPECT WITH RESPECT TO DEVELOPMENT, UM, ON THOSE AREAS.
SO, UM, WE HAVE, UM, COMPLETED THAT PROCESS.
WE HAVE A FINAL REPORT IN, AND SO THIS, UH, PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS JUST A VERY BRIEF SUMMARY OF THAT INFORMATION, UH, TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE, UH, WHERE WE THINK WE OUGHT TO BE GOING NEXT.
SO, UH, TO THAT END, UM, THIS IS OUR ORIGINAL PLAN, UH, KIND OF FOUR STEPS, UH, CONTROL THE PROPERTIES THAT WE HAD INTEREST IN.
NO ONE UNDERSTAND OUR MARKET DOCUMENT, UH, THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WE HAD ABOUT OUR MARKET AND THEN, UM, SHOP, UH, A DEVELOPMENT PLAN OR GO OUT AND MARKET THESE PROPERTIES WHERE WE THOUGHT WAS MOST APPROPRIATE.
UH, THE TIMELINE FOR THIS PLAN, UH, WAS FAIRLY, WE'LL CALL IT AGGRESSIVE.
UM, IF YOU RECALL, WE ENGAGED SB FRIEDMAN AT THE, UH, IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2019.
UH, SO WE WERE LOOKING TO GET A LOT OF WORK DONE IN A VERY SHORT TIMEFRAME.
SO TO THAT TIMEFRAME, UH, THIS IS THE PROGRESS THAT WE'VE MADE.
UM, OBVIOUSLY WE'VE ACQUIRED THE, UH, THE LAYMAN FARM, UH, WE'VE REACHED OUT AND DEVELOPED, UH, RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE, UH, THE LISTING AGENT FOR THE NEW BAUER FARM, AS WELL AS, UH, BALOO PATEL WHO OWNS, UM, SOME KEY ACREAGE, UM, ON THE, UH, ON THE, UH, BRANT PIKE SIDE OF OUR STUDY AREA.
UH, WE DID ENGAGE FRIEDMAN, UH, FOR THIS WORK AND FRIEDMAN PUT TOGETHER A VERY GOOD PRODUCT.
I THINK THAT THAT WILL BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE TO YOU HERE IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.
UH, WE DID GET A LITTLE BEHIND ON SCHEDULE IN THIS AREA FOR TWO REASONS.
ONE, UH, THE, UH, THE IMPACTS OF THE CORONAVIRUS.
AND THEN NUMBER TWO, UM, WE ASKED, UM, OUR CONTACTS AT FRIEDMAN TO SPEAK WITH FOLKS IN THIS AREA WHO WE THOUGHT WERE KNOWLEDGEABLE EXPERTS AND SOMETIMES, UH, OTHER PEOPLE'S SCHEDULES AREN'T AS, UH, AS ACCEPTING OF OUR TIMELINE AS WE MIGHT WANT THEM TO BE.
SO WE HAD SOME, UH, WE HAD SOME DELAYS THERE, BUT, UH, BUT OVERALL, UH, WE'RE CLOSE TO BEING RIGHT BACK ON TRACK.
UM, AND THEN, UH, WE THINK WE'LL BE IN A POSITION TO SHOP, UH, WE'LL CALL IT, SHOP A PLAN HERE LATER THIS YEAR.
AND, UH, AND WE'LL TALK TO THAT HERE IN JUST A MOMENT.
SO A LOT OF PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, STUDIES WILL JUST TELL YOU ALL THE INFORMATION THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW, AND THAT'S NOT TRUE.
THEY TELL YOU THE INFORMATION THAT YOU ASKED TO BE INFORMED ABOUT.
AND SO THIS IS, THIS IS THE INFORMATION WE ASKED TO BE INFORMED ABOUT, WHICH WAS, UH, FOR THE AREA THAT IS THE HEIGHTS.
WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THESE PARTICULAR USES WILL LOCATE? AND THAT AREA NOW, THE, UH, THE ITEMS ABOVE THE WHITE HASH MARKS WERE ITEMS THAT WE HAD REQUESTED, UH, THEY LOOK AT BECAUSE THEY WERE OF CONCERN AND INTEREST TO US.
THE ITEMS BELOW THE WHITE LINE ARE THE FOCUS AREAS OF THE DAYTON DEVELOPMENT COALITION AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
SO THOSE ARE AREAS WHERE WE KNOW THAT WE WOULD GET ADDITIONAL MARKETING SUPPORT AND FUNDING SUPPORT FOR PROJECTS THAT MIGHT COME OUR WAY.
SO THIS IS WHAT THE, UH, THESE ARE THE MARKET SECTORS THAT WE ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT AND EVALUATE BASED ON WHAT THEY LEARNED.
UH, IN THE SHORT TERM, IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT WE WILL SEE MULTIFAMILY, RETAIL AND INDUSTRIAL USES, UM, INTERESTED AT THAT SITE, UH, AND IN THIS AREA, UM, WE WILL NOT SEE EDUCATION ENTERTAINMENT OR LIVE, WORK, PLAY OPPORTUNITIES, UM, AS WELL AS OFFICE, WHICH WAS ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE AS WELL.
THOSE ARE LESS LIKELY OPTIONS.
UH, THEN WHEN WE LOOK AT, UH, WHAT THE MORE REGIONAL ARE, THE MORE COMPREHENSIVE, UH, MARKET SECTOR, MARKET SECTORS, OUR, UH, BIO-SCIENCES AND LOGISTICS WERE THE TWO THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE BIO SCIENCES SEGMENT WAS ONE THAT WOULD REQUIRE SOME ADDITIONAL WORK, UH, AND SOME ADDITIONAL MARKETING ON BEHALF OF THE CITY, UM, TO ELEVATE THAT FROM WE'LL CALL IT A NEUTRAL POSITION TO A POSITIVE POSITION.
UM, SO THAT STUDY, UM, WE'VE ALREADY SEEN SOME VALIDATION TO THE INFORMATION THAT'S COME OUT OF, UH, THAT'S COME OUT OF THIS STUDY.
SO, UM, SO FAR WE'VE HAD AN INQUIRY WITH REGARD TO A $60 MILLION MULTIFAMILY HOUSING PROJECT, A 125 UNIT ACTIVE SENIOR MULTIFAMILY HOUSING PROJECT, 10,000 SQUARE FEET OF MULTITENANT AND SPECIALTY WAREHOUSE AND MANUFACTURING SPACE.
AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE THINK IT'S FOR THE SAME PROJECT, BUT, UM, MR. KALKASKA AND I ALSO RECEIVED AN EMAIL TODAY
[00:15:01]
REQUESTING INFORMATION ON ANOTHER MULTIFAMILY PROJECT.SO WE FEEL THAT THIS INFORMATION IN PARTICULAR, AT LEAST THESE INQUIRIES AND THIS ACTIVITY IS A VALIDATION OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE RECEIVED FROM SB FRIEDMAN THROUGH THEIR INITIAL, UH, STUDY.
SO, UM, NEXT STEPS FOR US, A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN.
UH, WE ALL KNOW WHAT WE BOUGHT THE LAND FOR, BUT WHAT WE BOUGHT IT FOR, ISN'T EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO SELL IT FOR.
UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING INTO IS, UM, VIA ATTENTIVENESS, OUR PROPERTY GETS, UH, BEING LISTED, UH, RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE A PRICE LISTED.
SO I'M IN COMPETITION WITH OTHER PARCELS, FROM OUR AREA THAT ARE BEING LISTED.
UM, OURS, YOU HAVE TO CALL AND ASK FOR THE PRICE, WHEREAS THE REST OF THE PARCELS ALREADY HAVE A LIST OF PRICE.
SO WE'VE DONE SOME ANALYSIS OF THE GROUND, OUR PURCHASE PRICE, WHAT OTHER PARCELS HAVE SOLD, UH, WE'VE PUT TOGETHER A PACKET AND SUBMITTED THAT TO THE CITY MANAGER FOR HIS REVIEW.
AND WE WOULD LOOK FOR HIM TO BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION FOR DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION IN AN EXECUTIVE SESSION SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
SO WE ARE WORKING FORWARD ON THAT.
THE OTHER THING THAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE WANT TO SURVEY THE MARKET, UH, WITH RESPECT TO THIS PROPERTY.
AND THIS IS, UM, UM, THIS IS ADDITIONAL WORK THAT WE'VE ASKED SB FRIEDMAN TO QUOTE FOR US.
SO IN LIGHT OF, UM, DEPENDING UPON WHAT NEWS MEDIA YOU READ OR WHAT NEWS MEDIA YOU DON'T READ, UH, NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY AND DEVELOP, OR MAYBE NOW IS THE TIME TO SELL AND, UH, AND REST ON YOUR LAURELS, UH, BASED ON THE PERIODICALS THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT READ.
UH, AND SO WHAT WE'VE ASKED THEM TO DO IS TO QUOTE US, UH, BASICALLY REACHING OUT TO THEIR CONTACTS, UM, AND WE'LL CALL IT OUR OUTER MARKET.
SO CLEVELAND, DETROIT, INDIANAPOLIS, PITTSBURGH LOUISVILLE, REACH OUT TO THEIR CONTACTS IN THOSE MARKETS, SHARE WITH THEM THE INFORMATION THAT THEY'VE GARNERED FOR US AND ASK THE DEVELOPERS IN THOSE REGIONS.
HEY, BASED ON WHAT, YOU KNOW, BASED ON WHAT YOU SEE, DO YOU HAVE AN INTEREST TO DEVELOP HERE IN HUBER HEIGHTS AND IN THE HEIGHTS? AND IF SO, WHAT WOULD YOU NEED TO SEE TO MAKE, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE YOU MORE INTERESTED TO ACTUALLY GET SOME FEET ON THE GROUND, TO MAKE SOME PHONE CALLS AND DO SOME EXPLORATORY WORK? UH, AND IF YOU DON'T, WHY IS THAT RIGHT? WHY DO YOU HAVE CONCERN? WHY DO YOU HAVE RESERVATIONS? THAT'S SOMETHING SPECIFIC ABOUT US, OR IS IT SOMETHING MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT THE MARK OR MORE GENERAL TO THE MARKET? SO WE'VE ASKED FRIEDMAN TO, TO QUOTE THAT WORK, AND WE EXPECT THAT QUOTE FOR SERVICES IN ANY TIME NOW.
UM, AND THEN ONCE WE GET THAT INFORMATION BACK, WE BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT PEOPLE ARE THINKING ABOUT OUR MARKET, UH, AND WHAT THEY LIKE.
AND DON'T LIKE, UH, WE'LL SIT DOWN AND HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT PREPARING MARKETING MATERIAL, WHETHER OR NOT MASTER PLANNING IS APPROPRIATE, UH, AND WHAT SITE IMPROVEMENTS MIGHT BE NECESSARY TO, UH, TO IMPROVE OR TO ENHANCE PEOPLE'S INTEREST AND OUR SITE.
SO I THINK OF THAT BIO-SCIENCES SLIDE.
HOW DO WE MOVE THAT X FROM APPROACHING THE NEUTRAL TO, INTO THE POD OF RIGHT.
WHAT WOULD WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN? SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
UM, AND, UM, THAT'S WHAT, UH, WHAT WE'RE DOING ON OUR END TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT JUST SITTING ON OUR HANDS AND WE'RE NOT JUST BEING IDLE.
WE ARE CONTINUING TO TRY AND MOVE THIS FORWARD, AND WE ARE SEEING SOME INTEREST ALREADY IN THE SITE.
UH, SO THAT'S WHAT WE'VE GOT GOING ON.
SINCE LAST, WE WERE TOGETHER TALKING ABOUT, UH, SB FRIEDMAN IN THIS PROJECT.
I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
UM, AGAIN, THIS IS, UH, AN 11 SLIDE SUMMARY OF WHAT I THINK WAS A 80 PAGE, UH, REPORT.
UH, AND I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHARE THAT REPORT WITH ANY OF THOSE OF YOU ON COUNCIL, WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT.
UH, BUT, UH, I, I RECOGNIZE THAT 80 PAGES OF MATERIAL TO COVER IN A COUNCIL WORK SESSION MIGHT BE A LITTLE ARDUOUS.
SO I THOUGHT WE JUST HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS.
UH, AND WITH THAT, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MIGHT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, TAKE, UH, TAKE A READ OVER THAT I ASSUME, 80 PAGE PDF DOCUMENT.
UM, IF THAT COULD BE EMAILED OUT, I'M SURE A LOT OF OTHER FOLKS ON THE DYES AS WELL, WOULDN'T MIND TAKING A READ THROUGH THAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK BRIAN, ON THIS PROJECT, I'D LIKE TO SEE, UH, WHAT THE OUTCOME IS GOING TO BE, AND THAT'D BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THE OTHER DEVELOPERS IN OUR REGION HAVE TO SAY AS WELL.
IF YOU COULD JUST SEND THAT EMAIL TO ALL OF US ON COUNCIL AND BE GREAT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THANKS FOR THE WORK SO FAR.
[ Board and Commission Appointments * Arts and Beautification Commission]

[ City Council Meeting Schedule Changes]
IS ITEM THREE F WHICH A CITY COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULE CHANGES.UH, LOOKING AHEAD, UM, ON THE SCHEDULE FOR COUNCIL WORK SESSIONS, UM, WE HAVE TWO UPCOMING WORK SESSIONS WHERE THERE ARE CONFLICTUAL EVENTS, UH, WITH THOSE WORK SESSIONS THAT IN THE PAST COUNCIL HAS ASKED TO MOVE THE DATA, THESE WORK SESSIONS TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE EVENTS.
UM, THE FIRST IS, UH, TUESDAY, OCTOBER THE SIXTH, UM, THAT IS THE NEW SCHEDULED DATE FOR THE NATIONAL NIGHT OUT.
UM, AND I KNOW A LOT OF COUNCIL, UH, CHOSEN TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT IN THE PAST.
IT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK TO OCTOBER.
AND THE OTHER DATE IN QUESTION IS, UH, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD, WHICH IS ELECTION DAY.
UM, AND HISTORICALLY WE'VE TRIED TO REARRANGE THE SCHEDULE TO, UH, NOT BE HERE FOR A MEETING DATE ON ELECTION DAY.
UM, SO MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO MOVE, UH, BOTH OF THOSE COUNCIL WORK SESSIONS UP BY ONE DAY, UM, TO THE MONDAY PRIOR, UM, WHICH WOULD BE MONDAY, OCTOBER 5TH AND, UH, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND, UH, FOR A CHANGE ON THOSE TWO COUNCIL WORK SESSIONS.
QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, OR REALLY ANY OBJECTIONS TO MOVING THOSE? YES.

MA'AM NO DATE IN SEPTEMBER THEN ASKED HIM, I DOUBT HE HAD, WE MOVED IT ALREADY.
NO, UH, THERE WAS, I THINK GOING TO BE ON AUGUST 4TH, I BELIEVE WAS THE DAY.
UM, AND WE HAD NOT MOVED THAT BACK, UM, BECAUSE WE WERE WAITING TO KIND OF SEE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE PANDEMIC.
UM, AND SO, UH, THAT ONE CAN REMAIN AS SCHEDULED, UH, WOULD JUST BE THESE TWO DATES THAT WE'D BE LOOKING AT MAKING THE CHANGE AND IT WOULDN'T TAKE ANY OFFICIAL ACTION, JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, COUNSEL CONCURRENCE TO, UH, MAKING THESE CHANGES.
AND I GET A NOTICE OUT, UPDATE IT ON THE CALENDAR AND PUT OUT A REVISED SCHEDULE.
ANY OBJECTIONS TO CHANGING THOSE TWO DATES FIXING UP? YUP.
JUST A GOOD CHANGE THAT UPBEAT THE CALENDAR.
THAT LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING ON THE AGENDA.
THERE IS A NEED FOR AN EXECUTIVE SESSION THIS EVENING.

SO, UH, GLEN, IF YOU WOULD, I JUST WANTED TO THROW SOMETHING OUT.
UM, THIS YEAR MARKS 10 YEARS SINCE WE LAST CONVENED OR, UH, ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMISSION.
UM, I THINK WE'RE DUE FOR THAT.
I, WELL, SO I THINK WE'RE DUE FOR THAT.
UM, I THINK LAST TIME, LAST TIME WE HAD SEVEN MEMBERS, TWO MEMBERS OF COUNCIL AND FIVE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.
UM, UH, I JUST THINK WE NEED TO PUT THAT OUT ON AN UPCOMING AGENDA SO WE CAN GET THAT SET UP.
CAUSE WE'RE DO WE'RE AT 10 YEARS AND, UH, WE NEED TO DO THAT.
AND I ABSOLUTELY BEING, BEING ON THAT COMMITTEE 10 YEARS AGO AS THE VICE CHAIR, I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN BEING ONE OF THOSE COUNCIL MEMBERS ON THAT COMMITTEE.
IS THAT, SO, I MEAN, IS THAT WE DID EVERY 10 YEARS.
THAT'S WHAT THE, THAT'S WHAT THE, WHAT THE PLAN IS.
SO JUST HAS BEEN 10 YEARS THOUGH.
WE DID BEFORE, IS THAT EVERY 10 YEAR REVIEW? IT ACTUALLY SAYS NO MORE THAN 10 YEARS, BUT YEAH, IT'S A CHARTER ONE THERE.
WE'LL GET, WE'LL CERTAINLY GET THAT ON.
