[00:05:06]

OKAY AND I HAD ANOTHER ENGINEERING QUESTION AT THE CORNER OF MAPLE AND THIRD.THEY'VE BEEN DOING SOME COLLEGE ESCAPING. I'M SURE YOU HAVE A BETTER TERM FOR IT. BUT UM, AND OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, YOU KNOW THAT INTERSECTION HAS BECOME KIND OF A TEETER TOTTER IF YOU WILL, BECAUSE OF HOW UNEVEN IT WAS, BUT IS THAT IN A DISSIPATION OF THE PAVING, OR THERE'S SUGGEST FOR THAT PARTICULAR INTERSECTION. REALLY, JUST SO THERE'S SOME PRETTY GOOD RUNNING GOING ON IN THE PAVEMENT THERE, AND IT'S TYPICALLY CAUSED WHEN YOU HAVE HIGH TRUCK TRAFFIC. WITH HEAVY LOADS, WHICH GOING IN AND OUT OF OUR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS CENTER AT THAT INTERSECTION. IT'S NOT UNUSUAL WHAT WE DID, THERE WAS WE JUST KIND OF MILLED OFF THOSE THOSE HEAVES. THE HIGHER THE ELEVATED RUTS, AND THAT'S JUST KIND OF A MAINTENANCE APPLICATION UNTIL WE DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING MORE IN THAT AREA, SO THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT WILL BE FOR NOW, JUST TO JUST TO SMOOTH IT OUT, BRING THE PAVEMENT BACK TO LEVEL AND GET RID OF THE HIGH AREAS. RIGHT. THANK YOU APPRECIATE IT. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE'LL MOVE
[REPORT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT]
ON TO THE REPORT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER, MR PRESIDENT, COUNCIL MEMBERS. I DO HAVE A PRESENTATION THIS EVENING. UH, JUST TO ANALYZE. RESIDENTIAL GROWTH IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF QUESTIONS OF WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE SCREEN. THE WE'VE BEEN ASKING A LOT OF QUESTIONS OF WHERE PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM. WHY ARE THEY COMING HERE? SO WE COULD AT LEAST BETTER TRY TO UNDERSTAND THAT INFORMATION AS UM AS THINGS GO ON, SO I JUST WANT TO PROVIDE YOU A LOT OF INFORMATION HERE. WE CAN SHARE THIS PRESENTATION.BUT REALLY, I THINK A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION THAT I THINK IT'S WERE CHALLENGED HERE THAT WE NEED TO START DOING THIS ON PROBABLY AN ANNUAL BASIS TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. OKAY POPULATION GROWTH. THIS JUST SHOWS THE COUNTY POPULATION. I THINK THE ONE NOTABLE HERE IS THE FACT. IF YOU LOOK BETWEEN THE MULTIPLE YEARS WE WERE GROWING UP IN 1000 A YEAR. BETWEEN 2000 AND 2020.
BUT THEN THERE WAS A HUGE DROP BETWEEN 2020 AND 2021. YOU CAN SEE WE GREW ABOUT 2200 SO ABOUT DOUBLE THE GROWTH IN ONE YEAR, SO WE SAW A LOT OF GROWTH IN THAT FIRST YEAR OF THIS DECADE.
MARY'S WERE POPULATION YOU CAN SEE AS WELL. IT'S PRETTY CONSISTENT AS WELL. WE'VE SEEN WE WERE OVER 26,000 ACCORDING TO CENSUS AND THAT'S AS OF 2021. THAT'S LIKELY, OF COURSE, TO BE HIGHER NOW IN 2022. BUT IT GIVES YOU THE ALSO TO THE RIGHT TO GROWTH. RAMIREZ IS GROWING FASTER THAN THE COUNTY IS ABOUT 65% GROWTH SINCE 2000 SO WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THIS INFORMATION , I'M SORRY FOR THIS, SENDING IT BACK. YOU CAN'T READ THIS, BUT WE WANTED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE WERE MOVING HERE AND AS I SAID EARLIER, AND JUST TO UNDERSTAND THE HEARTBEAT OF THOSE THAT ARE HERE NOW WE WANTED TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE NEW RESIDENTS COMING FROM WHERE IN THE COUNTY. ARE THEY MOVING TO? WHY ARE THEY MOVING HERE? WHAT ARE THE DEMOGRAPHICS AND HOUSING PREFERENCES AND ARE THEY SATISFIED IN THEIR DECISION TO RELOCATE INTO OUR COMMUNITY? SO THE FIRST THING WE DID WE TOOK A LOOK AT THE CHANGE OF ADDRESS FORMS THAT ARE FILED WITH THE U.
S POSTAL SERVICE, WHICH GIVES US A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION. THERE WERE 6400 FORMS FILED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. 4000 ACTUALLY, PEOPLE MOVED APPROXIMATELY TWO UNION COUNTY AS WELL. AND THEN LOOKING AT WHERE PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM. THIS IS ACTUALLY INTERESTING DATA. WE'VE ALWAYS WONDERED. WHERE WAS EVERYONE COMING FROM? YOU CAN SEE DUBLIN IS THE LARGEST AMOUNT WE HAD OVER 400 FROM DUBLIN ACTUALLY RELOCATED TO MARYSVILLE OR TWO UNION COUNTY 358 RELOCATED FROM COLUMBUS, AND YOU CAN GO DOWN THE LIST AS WELL. BUT IT REALLY GIVES YOU SOME GOOD. GOOD INFORMATION THERE IS KNOWING WHERE THOSE PEOPLE ARE MOVING FROM. SO WHAT'S EVEN MORE INTERESTING IS WE HAD 1800 INDIVIDUALS ARE PEOPLE ACTUALLY MOVED FROM OTHER STATES 48 STATES ACTUALLY REPRESENTING THE TWO YEARS WHICH IS ACTUALLY KIND OF CRAZY. THAT WE'VE HAD ANY INCLUDES ALASKA. HAWAII ACTUALLY MOVED TO UNION COUNTY. BUT I
[00:10:01]
THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY PRETTY COOL TO SEE THAT. BUT FLORIDA IS THE BIGGEST LOCATION. I GUESS IT'S TOO HOT IN FLORIDA. EVERYONE MOVES AND MOVES TO OHIO BUT AGAIN AT THE BREAKDOWN, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE DIFFERENT STATES. WE THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY INTERESTING IN LOOKING AT THAT DATA. WE DID A MAP AND SO, UM, JASON STANDARD PUT ALL THIS TOGETHER. HE DOES A GREAT JOB AND PUTTING A LOT OF DATA TOGETHER. THIS GIVES YOU THE BREAKDOWN. I GUESS MY I'M TRYING TO SPOT THE OTHER OTHERS STATE THAT LOOKS LIKE MONTANA IS ONE OF THE STATES. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE OTHER STATE IS. MAYBE IT'S ONE OF THE SMALL STATES ON THE EAST COAST THAT NO ONE MOVED TO UNION COUNTY FRONT. BUT THAT JUST GIVES YOU A GOOD BREAK OUT WHERE PEOPLE ACTUALLY MOVE FROM.SO OF THOSE RELOCATIONS. WHERE DID PEOPLE MOVE? 60% 60% MOVED TO MARYSVILLE. SO ABOUT 2300 ACTUALLY MOVED TO MARYSVILLE ABOUT 8 90. WE'VE WE'VE WHAT WE'VE DONE HERE IN THE SURVEY THAT WE'VE PUT TOGETHER WHICH IS ONGOING SURVEY. SO WE'RE COLLECTING NEW DATA. EXCUSE ME NEW INFORMATION. AS TIME'S GONE, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO ANALYZE THE OUTGOING AROUND MIGRATION AS WELL TO ANALYZE WHO'S ACTUALLY LEAVING THE COUNTY IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AND WE'LL COME BACK WITH AN UPDATE FOR THAT INFORMATION. BUT THIS SHOWS YOU WHAT THE BREAKDOWN IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY MOVING TO IN THE COUNTY. SO THEY'RE ALSO INTRA CATEGORY DESERT DESTINATIONS AS WELL. WE LOOK AT THIS DATA AND IT LOOKS LIKE ABOUT 2500. PEOPLE ACTUALLY MOVED FROM ONE LOCATION WITHIN UNION CARRIED TO ANOTHER. MOST OF THOSE, ACTUALLY VERY CLOSE MOVED TO UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF THE COUNTY. BUT THEN SECOND, OF COURSE CLOSE IS MARY'S WELL BUT 1000 PEOPLE MOVED FROM ONE SPOT IN THE COUNTY TO THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE. SO THEN THAT DATA WAS GREAT TO SEE BECAUSE IT COMES FROM THE POSTAL SERVICE. BUT WE ALSO PUT UP A PUT TOGETHER A SURVEY AND THAT SURVEY WENT TO ALL THE NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTY. AND ALL TO ALL THE NEW MULTI FAMILY, UM, DEVELOPMENTS AS WELL. IT HAD BETTER UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE REMOVING HERE AS WELL. THE SURVEY WAS ACTUALLY CONDUCTED IN MAY 2022 WE HAD WE'VE HAD 130 RESPONSES. SO FAR. WE THINK THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD SAMPLE AGAIN. WE DISTRIBUTE TO ALL NEW HOUSING THAT WAS IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. IT'S OPEN ENDED, SO WE'RE COLLECTING DATA. AS OF JUNE 15TH. WE HAD 100 AND 30 RESPONDENTS. AND YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN ABOUT 42% WERE INDICATED THEY WERE FROM MARYSVILLE, ABOUT 44% FROM JEROME TOWNSHIP ABOUT 12% FROM PLAIN CITY. CAN WE ASK THE QUESTION? WHY ARE YOU RELOCATING TO OUR COMMUNITY AND I THOUGHT JOB WOULD BE NUMBER ONE. BUT ACTUALLY, AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY WANT TO BE IN A BETTER COMMUNITY. THAT'S 42% OF PEOPLE THAT MOVED TO OUR COMMUNITY WANTED TO BE IN A BETTER PLACE. THE JOB IS ACTUALLY 24 OR 25% SO IT'S NUMBER THREE AND THEN CLOSER TO FAMILY WAS NUMBER TWO. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A REALLY INTERESTING SLIDE, BECAUSE JOB WOULD ACTUALLY BE NUMBER ONE. SO SOME ARE INTERESTING DATA HERE AND AS WE TALKED ABOUT IMPACTS OF HOUSING IN THE COMMUNITY, YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE HOUSEHOLD, I THINK IS KEY TO LOOK AT 26% ACTUALLY HAD FOUR PEOPLE IN THE HOUSEHOLD. YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN AT 29% ACTUALLY HAD TWO PEOPLE SO LARGER PERCENTAGE OF ONLY TWO PEOPLE IN THE HOUSEHOLD AS WELL TO THE RIGHT SHOWS YOU I THINK ANOTHER PRETTY HIGH WAKING ABOUT 57. DO NOT HAVE SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN SO THAT PEOPLE ARE MOVING HERE. DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN THERE IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS INTER. INTERESTING TO SEE AS WELL. WE'VE ALWAYS HEARD AND ACTUALLY THE DATA SHOWING US THAT OF COURSE, WE'RE HAVING FEWER CHILDREN. AND I THINK THIS DATA UNDERLINES MAKES THAT POINT AS WELL. WE ALSO WANT TO UNDERSTAND BETTER. WHY ARE PEOPLE RENTING VERSUS VERSUS OWNING IN THE COMMUNITY? BECAUSE AGAIN, THAT'S WE'VE HAD A LOT OF MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT COUNCILS APPROVED A LOT. WHY ARE THEY CHOOSING THOSE MULTIFAMILY RENTAL PLACES VERSUS OWNING A HOME AND WE PROBABLY ASSUMED THE FIRST TWO AND THAT'S THE AFFORDABILITY. AND ACTUALLY ACCESSIBILITY OF HOUSING OR THE TOP TWO REASONS. BUT I WHAT I THINK IS VERY INTERESTING IN THIS. THIS THIS THIS DATA IS NUMBER THREE AND NUMBER FOUR, WHICH ACTUALLY COULD BE THE SAME. YOU KNOW YOU COULD ADD THOSE TWO TOGETHER. THAT'S ABOUT 20% EITHER WANT FLEXIBILITY OR THEY PREFER SHORT TERM HOUSING.
WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS THERE IS A GROWING MARKET OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE THE ABILITY TO ACTUALLY MOVE FROM ONE LOCATION TO THE NEXT. WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT A HOME SELLING HOME FINDING A NEW HOME AND SO THE RENTAL UNITS ACTUALLY HELP OUT INTO THE FOREST FILLING THEIR NEED AND WHAT THEY WHAT THEY VIEW AND HOUSING GOING FORWARD. BUT THAT WAS INTERESTING TO LOOK AT THAT DATA. SO THIS IS JUST WE TOOK SOME QUOTES THAT PEOPLE MADE IN THE SURVEY. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOUNG FAMILIES OR 1ST 1ST TIME HOMEOWNERS TO PURCHASE A HOME WOULD LOVE TO RAISE OUR FAMILY HERE, BUT THE COST OF LIVING IS CAUSING US TO LOOK ELSEWHERE. I'VE HEARD THAT
[00:15:05]
THIS FROM A COUPLE RESTAURANT WORKERS AS WELL THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT MOUNTAIN VERNON.THEY'RE LOOKING AT BELL FOUNTAIN BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD HOUSING AND MARYSVILLE. AND SO THAT'S PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH THINGS THAT WE'RE HEARING IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. ANOTHER STATEMENT. ALLIANCE SHARE OF PEOPLE MOVING IN ARE FROM HONDA , ALTHOUGH I HAVE A COUPLE WHO ARE MOVING HERE TO GET AWAY FROM COLUMBUS, WHICH WAS INTERESTING THAT GOES BACK TO BEING THAT THEY FEEL IS A BETTER COMMUNITY. MAYBE A SAFER COMMUNITY IS WHY THEY'RE MAKING THAT MOVE AS WELL. AND THEN WE ALSO ASKED SOME COMMUNITY SATISFACTION QUESTIONS JUST TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT WHAT THEIR THOUGHTS ARE ONCE MOVING HERE, HOW THEY VIEW THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE, 70% SAID, YES, THEY WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO OTHERS TO RELOCATE SO THAT THAT SAYS THAT WE'RE DOING SOME GOOD THINGS. WE DID ASK, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF AN OPEN ENDED QUESTION WE ASKED, NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS. MORE SHOPPING, ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS, MORE PARKS AND TRAILS AND MORE ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. THIS IS VERY CONSISTENT WITH ALL THE SERVING . WE'VE DONE. YOU'VE SEEN SURVEYS OVER THE YEARS. IT'S PRETTY CONSISTENT WHEN YOU SEE THE NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS. AREAS OF CONCERN THE IMPACTS OF GROWTH ON TRAFFIC PRESERVATION OF OPEN SPACE, HIGH COST QUALITY OF WATER, LIMITED RECYCLING OPTIONS AND THEN LACK OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN GOVERNMENT AND RESIDENTS WERE SOME OF THE AREAS OF CONCERN AGAIN. WE'VE SEEN SOME OF THAT DATA AND OTHER SURVEYS THAT WE'VE ACTUALLY DONE AS WELL. ERIC YES, THESE SURVEY RESULTS INCLUDED OUTSIDE OF MARY. SO ALRIGHT, OKAY. YEAH THIS IS FROM THE ENTIRE YOU KNOW, WE ORIGINALLY IT WAS. WE HAVE DIVIDED THINGS THAT WERE NOW THE NEW DATA THAT'S COLLECTED. IT'S GOING TO BE DIVIDED, DIVIDED UP BY COMMUNITY , SO WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO ANALYZE THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DETAIL TO KNOW GOING FORWARD WITH NEW NEW RESPONDENTS. SO SOME COMMENTS FROM THIS SECTION MOVING. NEW COUNTY HAS BEEN A GOOD EXPERIENCE OVERALL. I'M VERY HAPPY WITH UNION COUNTIES ROOM TOWNSHIP. JUST SOME OF THE GENERAL COMMENTS WERE MADE AS WELL. AND ALSO, UM THERE'S SOME SURVEY NOTES HERE. THE SURVEY WAS LAUNCHED IN MAINE. IT REMAINS OPEN. AS I SAID EARLIER TO COLLECT MORE DATA WILL CONTINUE TO UPDATE AND LOOK AT THE STATE AS WELL. WE'LL PROBABLY TOWARDS IN THE YEAR SENT OUT AN UPDATE TO THE REAL TOURIST TO TRY TO GET THE SURVEY OUT TO NEW PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY MOVING IN. UM THERE. WE ALSO MADE SOME EDITS AS YOU CAN SEE HERE. THE YEAR RESPONDENTS MOVED TO UNION COUNTY. SO WE UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE THE ACTUALLY MOVED HERE. WE CLARIFIED LOCATIONS BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE CONFUSED ROOM TOWNSHIP PETROM VILLAGE WITH PLAIN CITY, SO WE FELT THAT WE NEEDED TO COLLECT THAT DATA AS WELL. WE ASKED RESPONDENTS AGE OR AGE OF THE HEAD OF THE HOUSEHOLD. WE ASKED A RESPONSE IF THEY ANTICIPATE HAVING SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN. WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. IT GIVES US MORE PLANNING DATA FOR SCHOOLS TO TAKE A LOOK AT SO WE DID MAKE SOME TWEAKS AND WE'RE OPEN TO MORE TWEAKS. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS, WE CAN ADD QUESTIONS TO THAT SURVEY. SO WE BETTER UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY MOVING HERE AS WELL. WE JUST ORDERED HERE THIS WEEK. ACTUALLY THE OUT MIGRATION. UM, CHANGE OF LOCATION CHANGE. AVERAGE LOCATIONS WILL HAVE THAT DATA TO ANALYZE HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY MOVED OUT, SO WE'LL KNOW WHY THEY'RE TRYING TO SEE MORE INFORMATION WHY THEY MOVED OUT AS WELL. SOME FINAL POINTS ON THIS. THE INFORMATION GLEANED FROM THE SURVEY VERIFY THAT OUR ASSESSMENT ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE LOCAL HOUSING MARKET OR CORRECT COMMUNITY ASSETS, EMPLOYMENT ARE ATTRACTING NEW RESIDENTS FROM AROUND THE NATION. I WAS AMAZED THERE WERE 48 FOR ALL 48 STATES ACTUALLY REPRESENTED. WE DIDN'T DO INTERNATIONAL, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT INFORMATION WOULD SAY DEMAND FOR ALL HOUSING TYPES REMAINS VERY HIGH AFFORDABILITY OF HOUSING IS SIGNIFICANT CONCERN GOING FORWARD. UM MULTI FAMILIES ARE BEING DRIVEN PART DUE TO THE LACK OF AFFORDABILITY OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. A MAJORITY DO NOT HAVE SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN AND GET WELL. NO MORE DATA IF THEY PLAN TO HAVE CHILDREN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IN THE NEXT SURVEY THAT WE ACTUALLY DO. DEMAND FOR NEW OR ENHANCED COMMUNITY AMENITIES, WHICH IS FUNDED BY TAX REVENUE WAS GROWING AS WELL. SOME OF THE PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED IN MANY MEETINGS WITH COUNCIL OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. THE FORECAST INDICATED THE CENTRAL NEW MECHANIC WILL CONTINUE TO GROW RAPIDLY OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS. B I N C. BOTH HAVE IDENTIFIED LOCAL AND REGIONAL HOUSING DEFICIT. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THOSE IN THE PAST. AS OF, I THINK LAST WEEK THERE WERE ABOUT 9800 JOBS THAT'S GOING DOWN A COUPLE OF 1000. THEY'RE AVAILABLE. OF COURSE, THAT'S COMES AT THE TIME THE ECONOMY'S TIGHTENING UP AS WELL, BUT ABOUT ALMOST 10,000 WITHIN 20 MILE RADIUS. CERTAIN EMPLOYERS CONTINUE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. I WILL SAY THE LAW THE GREAT RESIGNATION THAT WE'VE EXPERIENCED OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. WE ARE SEEING WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM THE COMPANIES THAT MORE OF THOSE THAT RETIRED OR ACTUALLY GOING COMING BACK TO WORK. THAT'S ACTUALLY A GOOD SIGN AS WELL. SUPPLY OF HOW AVAILABLE HOUSING IS DOWN TO SEVEN MONTHS. UM AND YOU CAN SEE THE COST OF A HOME IS UP 424,000
[00:20:03]
AS WELL, WHICH IS PRETTY HIGH, AND THEN EACH NEW APARTMENT COMMUNITY HAVE WAITING LISTS IS WHAT WE'VE LEARNED AS WELL, SO THEY DO HAVE NEW UNITS COMING ON. BUT THERE'S ALSO PEOPLE TYPICALLY THAT ARE THERE TO FILL THOSE UNITS UP SO A LOT OF DATA THERE, AND I APOLOGIZE, BUT WE CAN SHARE THIS WITH COUNSEL AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I DON'T CARE IF YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING TO THIS AT ALL EITHER, BUT IT'S INTERESTING. THAT UNDER 19. CAN YOU AVAILABLE ON AND MAKE SURE. PARENTS. UM SO AT THIS POINT, ALMOST ALL THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE GIVEN US IS FOR COMING IN, OKAY? UM DO WE HAVE DATA WHAT THEY ARE REPLACING. OR IS IT ALL NEW PEOPLE COMING IN OR PEOPLE LEAVING AND WE SOMEHOW ABLE TO CAPTURE THAT INFORMATION? SO WE'RE GOING TO? WE'VE JUST ORDERED THE OUT MIGRATION, THE CHANGE OF ADDRESS OF PEOPLE LEAVING THE COUNTY SO WE'LL UNDERSTAND BETTER THAT INFORMATION NOW AS FAR AS WHY ARE THEY LEAVING, THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO SURVEY AND THAT THEIR NEW HOME WHEREVER THEY WERE RATHER RELOCATED, BUT WE'LL HAVE. WE'LL HAVE DATA TO THAT POINT. WE JUST DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO ANALYZE THAT DATA YET, BUT WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND COME BACK TO COUNCIL AND GIVE YOU AN UPDATE. BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE MOVING OUT OF OUT OF THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.THE OBVIOUSLY ESPECIALLY THE MULTIFAMILY OPPORTUNITIES AND NOT MUCH GREATER SO I CAN SEE THAT THE INCOMING IS GREATER, BUT MANY OF THEM ALSO MOVED INTO A HOUSE FOR SOMEBODY EITHER GET A DIFFERENT JOB OR MOST OUT OF THE AREA, TOO. BE WITH CHILDREN OR FOR WHATEVER REASON THAT THEY WOULD LEAVE THE AREA OUT HERE, SO WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU WITH AN OUT MIGRATION REPORT. OKAY, THANKS SO MUCH. HERE THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. MY QUESTION. FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. THIS IS GREAT DATA FOR US, ESPECIALLY AS WE SEEMS LIKE WE HEAR ABOUT A NEW DEVELOPMENT WANTING TO BUILD A MARYSVILLE LIKE EVERY MONTH, AT LEAST. SO IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT FOR US TO HELP US MAKE DECISIONS REGARDING THAT. MY QUESTION IS THE DATA THAT WE WERE SHOWED TODAY. THIS WAS JUST FOR THIS YEAR, RIGHT? I MEAN, YOU HAD SOME PREVIOUS YEARS, TOO. BUT YOU HAVE, LIKE ALL OF 2022. THEN I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN THE NEXT TIME WE'LL HEAR BACK.
IS IT ON A QUARTERLY BASIS? OR HOW DID THAT HE PLANNED THE WE HAVEN'T COME UP WITH A SCHEDULE AS FAR AS COMING BACK TO UPDATE YOU, BUT MAYBE EVERY FEW MONTHS WILL COME BACK. MAYBE WHEN WE GIVE THE THIRD RENOVATION PARK, MAYBE WE CAN GIVE YOU A RESIDENTIAL SURVEY UPDATE TO SEE WHERE THE WHERE THE DATA. I MEAN, MY GUESS IS THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE CONSISTENT WHEN YOU MEAN 100 AND 30 IS A GOOD SAMPLE. I THINK SO. I DON'T THINK THE PERCENTAGES ARE GOING TO CHANGE A WHOLE LOT, BUT THEY COULD SOME NEW THINGS COULD COME UP THE WALK. WE'LL UPDATE YOU.
AS WE GET AS MAYBE WE UPDATE THE THIRD RENOVATION PART WORKS. THANK YOU. I OWE ME IF YOU DON'T MIND. I MEAN, EVERYBODY ELSE SPOKE. I'M FIGURING SOMETHING TO WRITE. BUT UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S YEAH, THIS IS I JUST I WAS JUST GOING TO TAKE YOU BACK WHEN EVERYBODY SAYS, YOU KNOW. IT'S INTERESTING. YOU KNOW, I STILL FEEL I'M SO NERVOUS, I GUESS AS A COUNCIL MEMBER AND ECONOMICALLY FOR THE CITY MOVING FORWARD, YOU KNOW, I HOME IN MARY'S WELL AT $424,000. AND THEN PEOPLE MOVING HERE BECAUSE OF THE AFFORDABILITY OF OUR COMMUNITY. AS INTEREST RATES GO UP, I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED TO SEE HOW MANY OF THOSE FAMILIES CAN ACTUALLY BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE LIVING IN A TIME WHERE IT'S WE'RE LIVING IN A TIME OF NOT REAL MONEY, BUT MAKE BELIEVE MONEY. SO UM, SO I'LL BE REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE NOW, AS RESIDENTS SAY THEY WANT MORE OPEN SPACE AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT, SO WE BECOME A COMMUNITY WHERE WE START TALKING ABOUT HOW ARE WE GOING TO CREATE OPEN SPACE? AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THOSE THINGS? YOU KNOW? I ECONOMICALLY AT 1.5. WE KNOW IN MY OPINION THAT'S NOT SUSTAINABLE FOR OUR CITY MOVING FORWARD SO AND YOU KNOW, AS INCOME INEQUALITY GETS WORSE IN THIS COUNTRY BASED NOT MARYSVILLE, BUT BASED ON YOU KNOW FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ISSUES WITH HEALTH CARE COSTS AND STUDENT. I MEAN, YOU KNOW WHEN YOU KNOW CREDIT COLLEGE DAD IS $2 TRILLION NOW, YOU KNOW, SO IT'S GOING TO BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THESE NUMBERS SHIFT, YOU KNOW. BY 10 YEARS OR FIVE YEARS OR EVEN 20 YEARS DOWN DOWN THE ROAD, SO I HEAR THESE NUMBERS, AND I UNDERSTAND THESE NUMBERS. UM I THINK I STILL BELIEVE THAT I MEAN, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE MOVING HERE BECAUSE OF THE AFFORDABILITY OF WHAT WE OFFER. UM, COMPARED TO THE COLUMBUS SUBURBS. ENCOMPASS ITSELF. SO, UM. BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST IT'S GOOD INFORMATION TO HAVE AS A
[00:25:11]
COUNCIL MEMBER, AND, YOU KNOW, I JUST LOOK AT IT FROM 20 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD AND I LOOK AT IT FROM, YOU KNOW, HOW IS THIS COMMUNITY GOING TO SURVIVE THIS KIND OF GROWTH? AND I DIDN'T INCOME LEVEL AT 1.5% AND THEN RESIDENTS WANT ALL THESE AMENITIES. THEY WANT ALL THESE THINGS AND THEN YOUR BUDGET AS A CITY CAN ONLY PROVIDE SO MUCH. SO, UM YOU KNOW? IT'S GONNA BE INTERESTING NOT ONLY FOR THE RESIDENTS OF LIVE HERE BUT AS A COUNCIL AND FUTURE COUNCILS.INTERESTING FOR US IS HOW ARE WE GOING TO CREATE REVENUES TO PROVIDE THESE THINGS AND THEN MAINTAIN WHAT WE HAVE AND NOT ONLY MAINTAINED BUT GROW OUR DEPARTMENTS. AND YOU KNOW, MOVING FORWARD SO THANK YOU. IT'S A GOOD PROBLEM AT HAND WHEN YOU HAVE MY GUESS IS WEIRD TO THINK WE HAVE MUCH MORE IN MIGRATION THAN THAT MIGRATION. THAT WOULD BE MY GUESS AND THIS WHOLE THING, BUT IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THAT VERSUS ANOTHER COMMUNITY THAT HAS MORE OUT MIGRATION. SO IT'S A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE, BUT WITH THAT COMES CHALLENGES. THANK YOU,
[REPORT OF CLERK OF COUNCIL]
ERIC. REPORT OF THE CLERK OF COUNCIL. ALREADY I DO HAVE ONE LIQUOR PERMIT REQUEST THAT HAS BEEN RECEIVED FOR MARYSVILLE AIRY 35 06 F O E, UM, WHICH THEY'RE DOING BUSINESS AS THE EAGLES THE AND THEY'RE HAVING AN ADDRESS CHANGE FROM 27 SOUTH MAIN STREET. 2 700 MILFORD AVENUE.

THE ONLY PURPOSE BEHIND THIS AMENDMENT THAT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS THE FACT THAT THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONERS USED WONDER LINK UH, TESTING PAPER TESTING PLATFORM FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS. WONDER LIKE, IS A COGNITIVE ABILITY TEST THE TESTS A CANDIDATE'S ABILITY TO LEARN, ADAPT, SOLVE PROBLEMS AND UNDERSTAND RELEVANT INSTRUCTIONS. THEY HAD A SLIGHT CHANGE IN THEIR SYSTEM, AND THEY NO LONGER PRODUCE HARD COPY OR PAPER TESTS. SO WHAT THIS IS THIS LEGISLATION IS DOING IS IT'S PUTTING IN PLACE.

THE OLD COGNITIVE ABILITY WILL STILL BE THERE, BUT NOW IT WILL BE PERSONALITY AND MOTIVATION. SCORES WILL BE INCLUDED AS WELL.

I INTEND TO DO THAT AGAIN, SO THAT WE, YOU KNOW, AHEAD OF TIME WHEN YOU START WORKING ON A BUDGET THAT IS AT LEAST 11 THAT I HAVE. BUT THEN MAYBE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ITEMS THAT RATHER THAN WORKING THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS. AND THEN COMING BACK AND THEN SAYING, HEY, I REALLY THINK THAT WE SHOULD SPEND X AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THIS PARTICULAR THING.YEAH, TRY TO GET IT TO ADMINISTRATION PRIOR TO THE PROCESS OF YOU'RE LOOKING THROUGH IT. SO. THE ONLY THING AND I TOTALLY AGREE, AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE SUCH A SUCH A LONG PROCESS HERE. BUT I DON'T WANT COUNCIL MEMBERS LIKE IF WE HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBER THAT HAS A PARTICULAR ITEM THAT THEY COME TO US ON THAT THEY WANT US TO INCLUDE IN THE BUDGET. OBVIOUSLY MY THINKING ALWAYS GOES TO ARE THERE. CAN I COUNT BEFORE ON THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WANT THE SAME THING. SO IF I GET SOMETHING FROM A PARTICULAR COUNCIL MEMBER, I MAY MAKE SURE FROM THE CORE OF THE COUNCIL THAT THEY AGREE WITH THAT APPROACH, SO I MAY COME BACK. AND EVEN DISCUSS IT WITH OLIVE COUNSEL TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE COMFORTABLE WITH US GOING THAT DIRECTION, SO YEAH. YEAH AND MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING THAT UM AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH. BUT WHEN WE DID MAKE THE TOUR OF THE, BUT WE DID MAKE THE TOUR WITH THE, UM WHICH ONE DID WE DO POST THE COMBINED PUBLIC AND EDUCATION. YOU EVEN MENTIONED THE LIGHTS OVER AT THE AT THE DEVELOPED FIELDS. YES AND AGAIN THAT THAT COULD BE ONE OF THOSE EXAMPLES. A I THINK WE COULD ALIGN COUNCIL WITH ADMINISTRATION OR, UM. AFTER WE SEE THE WHOLE BUDGET TOGETHER THAT WE, THEN I OR IT TIES IT TO 2024 25. THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF THINGS I'M HOPING THAT BECAUSE I WORK ON IF THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY WHEN A COUNCIL MEMBER HAS SOMETHING, OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE WE GET TO LOOK AT THAT, BUT I'M LOOKING MORE TOWARDS COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATION. WE DEFINITELY WOULD LOVE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THINGS THAT HELPS US A GREAT DEAL. OKAY, SO I WILL GET TOGETHER WITH MACKENZIE AND HAVE A TRY TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THEN WITH A REQUEST TO HAVE ANYTHING FINANCIAL INTEREST, UM UM, TO PRESENTED TO ADMINISTER OR TO YOU, AND THEN SO, YOU ADMINISTRATION BY THE FIRST OF AUGUST. THANK YOU ALREADY. THAT'S ALL THE DAY. WANTED TO COMMENT ON YOU THINK DONALD UM.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND, UM, PLANNING COMMISSION, UM, MEETING, UM AND I WAS VERY ENCOURAGED, YOU KNOW, BY THE BOARD AND THE LEVEL OF DISCUSSION THAT WAS TAKING PLACE AND THINKING ABOUT YOU KNOW, SOME THINGS AND I THOUGHT WAS VERY INTERESTING WAS THE BOARD, YOU KNOW, OPENED UP AND STATED THAT THEY HAD CONCERNS WITH SOME OF THE EXTRA USES. THAT'S IN OUR ZONING CODE. THE AMOUNT OF CONDITIONAL USES THE AMOUNT OF USES THAT DON'T REALLY GO ALONG WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH I KNOW THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HEARING IT FROM ME, BUT I WAS INTRIGUED THAT PLANNING COMMISSION THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO REMOVE AND CHANGE THINGS OUT OF THE CODE BASED ON THE BOARD'S DISCRETION. UM I WAS ALSO THINKING THIS AND SO YOU KNOW, IT WAS VERY IT WAS. IT WAS A GOOD MEETING. I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY GOOD DISCUSSION WHAT THEY HAD. AND YOU KNOW, I WAS VERY HOPEFUL. YOU KNOW, I'M I'M YOU KNOW, I WAS VERY HOPEFUL. UM
[00:40:03]
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AND FROM THE BOARDS IS THAT IN EVERY MEETING THERE IS NAME TAGS IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY WHO SITS IN THOSE IN THOSE MEETINGS, SO EVERY BOARD MEMBER SHOULD HAVE A NAME TAG. UM UM, AND THOSE MEETINGS AND THAT GOES THROUGH PARKS AT GOES FOR ANY COMMISSION THAT'S IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC. ANY BOARD SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE A NAME TAG IN FRONT OF THEM. UM YOU KNOW, SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE SAY LIKE FINANCE NOW, OBVIOUSLY, I KNOW THAT ANYTHING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE DON HAS TO GET FULL OF COUNCIL APPROVAL. BUT I'M GLAD THAT YOU BROUGHT THIS UP IS THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE DON, AS, UM EVERY YEAR, YOU KNOW, WE GET DISCRETIONARY FUNDS TO ADMINISTRATION OR, HOWEVER, THAT MONEY GETS BROKEN UP THROUGH THE CHAMBER, AND THAT MONEY IS SPENT ON DIFFERENT ITEMS LIKE TAKING SOMEBODY OUT TO LUNCH FOR A BUSINESS MEETING OR COPIES FOR PAPERS OR SOMETHING. IN ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS PUT A PERCENTAGE KNOWING NOT KNOWING THAT PERCENTAGES UP DEBATE DEBATE WHERE THAT MONEY IS, UM HAS TO BE SPENT IN A LOCAL BUSINESS IN THE UPTOWN. OR A BUSINESS OF SEVEN EMPLOYEES OR LESS, AND YOU KNOW YOU AND YOU GUYS CAN DISCUSS THAT OR YOU KNOW AND WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A COUNCIL. WE AGREE WITH THOSE STATEMENTS. BY UM YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT IT'S GOOD THAT WE MIX AROUND AND SUPPORT LOCAL AND I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT IT A LOT ON COUNCIL, BUT YOU KNOW, TRACKING THE MONEY, SO I'LL BE LOOKING AT THE BUDGET WITH BRAD AND, YOU KNOW, GO IN MORE DETAIL ON THE BUDGET AND FINDING LITTLE AND INFORMATION ABOUT THAT, AND THEN ALSO I KNOW THAT THERE IS A SIGNS WE'RE THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, AND OVERLAY OF SIGNS AND BRANDING OF THE, UH OF YOU KNOW OF THE SIGNS. I KNOW THAT WHEN AND I'VE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE , BUT YOU KNOW, SINCE WE'RE TALKING AND TALK GOING IN THE BUDGET WHEN CHAD FLOWERS WAS HERE, YOU KNOW THERE WAS SIGNS MADE UP IN THE CITY. UM THERE'S ONLY ONE THAT WAS EVER INSTALLED ON SEVENTH AND MAIN STREET, AND YOU KNOW THOSE SIGNS. YOU KNOW, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH THOSE COST AND WHERE THOSE SIGNS ARE, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO REASON THOSE SIGNS ARE NOT PLACED IN THROUGHOUT THE HISTORICAL DISTRICT. THAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THEM. AND WHATEVER THE SIGN, WHATEVER THE PLAN IS THAT WE HAVE FOR SIGNAGE. THERE'S NO REASON WHY THOSE SIGNS ARE NOT INCORPORATED INTO THE NEW SIGNAGE BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY HAD THEM. SO, YEAH. NEW STREET SIGNS. AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'M GOING TO BE ASKING, BUT, UM YOU KNOW, BUT ANYWAY, UM I HOPE EVERYBODY GETS OUT AND DRAWS UP ON FRIDAY NIGHT. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO COME TO A SINGLE ONE THIS YEAR, BUT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO FRIDAYS, SO I HOPE TO SEE EVERYBODY THERE. AND UM, HAVING HOPE EVERYBODY HAS A GOOD EVENING, THANKS.
