[00:20:04]

IT'S A GREAT COMPANY. THEY'RE DOING REALLY GREAT, INNOVATIVE THINGS. WE'RE ACTUALLY LUCKY TO HAVE THEM IN OUR PARK. BUT I'D LET ABBY MAYBE SPEAK ABOUT JESUS WHAT THEY DO AND WHY THEY WANT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY. WELL, THANKS FOR ALLOWING ME EIGHT YEARS TONIGHT AND SPEAKER MAC FEEL THAT I'M NOT PRESIDENT, BUSINESS OPERATIONS LOGISTICS. WE JUST LOVED BEING HERE A YEAR SINCE WE'VE BEEN IN OUR PROPERTY OVER AT THE SOUTH GATE BUILDING . WE OUTGREW IT AT THE MOMENT WE MOVE IN. SOON AS WE MOVED IN. IT WAS COMPLETELY FILLED. READY TO GO. WE'RE ACTUALLY LEASING THE SPACE BACK FROM YOU GUYS RIGHT NOW. THE OTHER SIDE NUMBER NEEDS AND REALLY NEEDS TO GROW SOME WORD TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS COMPANY TRADITIONAL THREE PL LITTLE TWICE, WHEREAS WE ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT OUR CUSTOMERS. AMERICA UNPARALLELED CUSTOMER SERVICE. WE ALSO TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN INNOVATION IN DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY. SO ONE OF MY ROLES WHEN I CAME INTO THE COMPANY ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO WAS TO CHANGE. THE STEREOTYPE OF LOGISTICS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS DISRUPTIVE. AND WE'RE LOOKING AT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT PARTNER WITH GREAT COMPANIES LIKE GOODYEAR TO TALK ABOUT TIRE SENSORS. WE'VE PARTNERED WITH THREE D PRINTING COMPANY THAT KIND OF CHANGE WHAT WE'RE DOING , UM, IN DIGITAL WAREHOUSING, SO WE DON'T NEED AS MUCH WAREHOUSE SPACE WHEN IT COMES TO THE FUTURE, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT OTHER COMPANIES THAT ARE ADJACENT TO OUR INDUSTRY, DOING REALLY COOL THINGS AND DECIDING HOW TO APPLY THOSE ART HISTORY OR TO OUR CUSTOMERS INDUSTRY. SO WE WOULD LOVE TO EXPAND HERE IN MARYSVILLE LITTLE BACKGROUND. WE ACTUALLY DID GO TO SELF GAME AND SAY, HEY, WE'RE READY FOR THAT SECOND BUILDING. IF YOU'RE READY TO BUILD, AND THEY POLITELY TOLD US NO, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. LET'S JUST SEE IF WE CAN BUILD SOMETHING ON HER OWN. SO LOOKING AT ABOUT 250 DAYS, 300,000 SQUARE FEET IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN BLOCKED TO DO. EXPENSIVE WE USED FOR A COUPLE OF THINGS, ONE TRADITIONAL WAREHOUSING LIKE WE HAVE NOW TO INNOVATIVE WAREHOUSING AND FIGURING OUT HOW WE CAN AUTOMATE THINGS FASTER, BAD CLOCK. IN DIFFERENT WAYS OF USING TECHNOLOGIES AND THREE IN OUR CURRENT SPACE. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE TO GIVE OUR EMPLOYEES ALL THE AMENITIES THAT WE LIKE TO GIVE OUR EMPLOYEES AT EASE ARE OFFICERS HAVE BEEN DONE WHEN WE HAVE WE HAVE A LITTLE CAFE. UM WE HAVE ON SITE SERVICES, SUCH AS BRINGING PEOPLE TO CHANGES AND CHANCE SAUSAGES AND HAIRCUTS, AND WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE SPACE TO DO THAT FRANK FACILITY, SO THE NEW GIVE US SPACE TO GIVE ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES GROUP IDEAS THAT ARE EMPLOYEES IN DUBLIN HALF AND TAKE A BIG QUESTIONS. COULD YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR SMART MOBILITY? WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING? YES PROJECTS WE'RE DOING. ACTUALLY NOW THAT I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT'S HERE. SO WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT WHERE WE ARE SO FAR DOWN THE PATH WITH SODA AND DR OHIO ON THIS, BUT IT IS HAPPENING. JUST UH YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THE OUR STATEMENTS A LITTLE BIT SLOWLY UNCONFIDENT. BUT UM, HE'S WON A GRANT TO TEST OUT A BS TECHNOLOGY, SO IT'S LEVEL TWO AND LEVEL THREE TECHNOLOGY. WE ARE GOING TO BE THE HOST PARTNER , PARTNERING WITH DRIVING STYLE . OH GOD, JOSH AND TESTING OUT OF TEARS. IF ANYONE'S BEEN TO TRC LATELY, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TO HER WRAPPED TRAILERS OUT THERE THAT HAVE BEEN RUNNING AROUND. A COUPLE OF MONTHS, TESTING SOME AUTOMATED TECHNOLOGY THAT IS GONNA, UM, RUNNING ALONG 33 RECENT. RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE EASTERN SIDE AND SOUTHERN OHIO TESTING AND REVENUE GENERATING LANES. IN ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE TESTING AS PLATOONING TECHNOLOGIES, SO THAT'S WHERE FIRST TRACTOR TRAILER IS MAKING ALL THE DECISIONS. THE SECOND ONE IS JUST FOLLOWING ALONG. THERE'S STILL A DRIVER IN THERE, BUT THE GREAT BENEFIT OF THAT IS IT'S GOING TO HELP US OUT WITH HOURS OF SERVICE AND ONE OF THOSE TRANSPORTS. WE'RE DOING A STATE WE ACTUALLY JUST APPLIED FOR ANOTHER GRANT THROUGH ODA AND ANDREW. HOW TO START TESTING LEVEL. IT'S FUNNY, YOU TRUSTING MY FINGERS WITH THIS ONE. LAUNCH AND JANUARY JANUARY FEBRUARY, THERE'S STILL TECHNOLOGY OVER HERE. SECURITY HEALTH. WHERE WE CURRENTLY ARE. RIGHT NOW, SO WE HAVE OUR THREE LOCATIONS IN THE AREA. I'VE NEVER HEARD INNOVATION WAY YOU GUYS ARE ALL FROM LEARNING. WE JUST PURCHASED A NEW PROPERTY IN DUBLIN FOR OUR GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS. WONDERING WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE. OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO PUT A GIANT EARS ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING, SO THAT WILL CHANGE A LITTLE BIT. ALSO HERE IS THAT PROJECTED

[00:25:04]

FURTHERMORE THERE PARTNER WITH THE THIRD THREE STORM ABILITY CORRIDOR THEY WANTED TO BE DOING DOING MORE WORK LIKE THAT. AND SO IT'S EXCITING TO SEE AN OPPORTUNITY LIKE THAT. HAVE FOR MARY'S AND FOR THEIR GROWTH IS IN FORWARD PART OF THIS SPACE TO DEDICATE TUNE R AND D INNOVATION LAB AS WELL TO BRING IN AND LET PEOPLE FROM THE CITY WERE UP AND RUNNING, AND WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF THINGS AND WE REALLY WANT TO USE AND ANDY INNOVATION. COMMUNITY AND THE CITY. YOU. SO THE TIMELINE FOR THIS IS PURCHASE AGREEMENT TONIGHT. CITY WOULD CONSIDER ON 12 13 ESTIMATED CLOSING, WHICH THAT'S NOT 6 30 26 THAT SHOULD SEE 6 30 23 6 MONTH OUT THERE SO WE DON'T HAVE A FOUR YEAR TIME FRAME ON DUE DILIGENCE APPEARED ON OUR CONTRACT, SO I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO PLAN IS TO CLOSE SOONER THAN THAT. OKAY HANK, I SAW YOU HAD A QUESTION.

UM I ASSUME THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THIS ON THE PETITION AND THEN APOLOGIZE. I ASSUME THAT THIS WOULD BE AN ACTUAL PURCHASED BUILDING. UM THE ONE THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE IS A LEASE. BUT THEN NOW AND THEN WE'LL THAT PORTION BE VACATED AND MOVED IN WITH THE OTHER ONE.

OR WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU NEEDS ARE GOING TO BE WITH SAKE RIGHT NOW, SO I PLAN IS TO KEEP THAT THE NEW BUILDING, AND WE WOULD LIKE TO PARTNER WITH THE DEVELOPER. WE HAVEN'T GONE DOWN THE PATH OF DECIDING THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT DEVELOPERS WITH THEIR IDEAS IN THAT BUILDING OBVIOUSLY BE WE'RE NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF BUILDING STRUCTURES LIKE THIS OKAY, PARTNER DEVELOPER ALREADY. AND THEN THERE'S ONE OTHER QUESTION WE LEARNED, UM WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE HEIDI PROPERTY, UM A COUPLE E 3 3.5 ACRE BUILDING. THOSE REQUIRE ALMOST NINE ACRES TO MAKE IT FIT. THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS 25 ACRES. UM YOU'RE LOOKING AT 300,000. THAT'S A LITTLE OVER EIGHT. SO YOU PROBABLY AGAIN INTO THAT ONE THIRD OCCUPANCY, UNDERLAND AND TWO THIRDS FOR HIKING AND PROBABLY RETENTION PLANTS. AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS THAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE IDEA, ERIC. NOT ON THE MATH ON THAT. I THINK THEY'RE HAVING STARTED WORK ON SITE PLANS YET, SO I THINK THAT'S THE NEXT STEP TO SEE HOW MUCH GREEN SPACE VERSUS BUILDING COVERAGE THERE IS, BUT I THINK YOU WANT EXPANSION UP TO 300,000 SQUARE FEET AT SOME TIME. I BELIEVE SO. YOUR NUMBERS ARE ABOUT RIGHT. NO NO. NORMALLY AT LEAST FROM WHAT WE HAVE SEEN WITHOUT A BUILDINGS, ONE THIRD BUILDING AND THEN TWO THIRDS UM , POKING RETENTION SPACE AWAY FROM THE ROAD AND EVERYTHING ELSE SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE A GOOD FIT FOR YOU OUT THERE.

THAT SEEMS LIKE ENOUGH SPACE. AS ERIC SAID, WE HAVEN'T STARTED REALLY INSIGHT PLANS YET. WE'VE DONE SOME RENDERINGS. UM JUST AS A STARTING POINT WOULD ABSOLUTELY RETURN ONE COUNCIL TO DECIDE WHAT THE RIGHT STRUCTURE IS ON THAT PROPERTY, MR GREEN. HMM OKAY, WONDERFUL. THANKS FOR COMING OUT AGAIN. APPRECIATE IT. THE ONLY THE ONLY COMMENT THAT I WILL SAY IS THE STRUCTURE THAT YOU'RE PLANNING ON BUILDING THE RENDERING IS VERY NICE THAT YOU KNOW YOU'RE MAKING THAT COMMITMENT TO BUILD WELL QUALITY DESIGN STRUCTURE AND CITY DUBLIN. OBVIOUSLY A PISTOL DESIGN STANDARDS. I WAS KIND OF SHOCKED WHEN I SAW YOUR LOGO STAMPED ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. I WAS LIKE THAT WOULD NEVER FLY IN DUBLIN. BUT WHEN YOU SAID THAT, SO ANYWAY, BUT IT'S A LOVELY BUILDING, THOUGH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YES AND OUR PLAN WAS TO THIS BUILDING TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR, RIGHT? LIKE IF YOU GO BY OUR BUILDINGS IN DUBLIN, WE HAVE A VERY

[00:30:03]

[Res. B]

THAT THE CITY HAS AGREED TO OVER TIME AND AS PART OF THAT PROCESS WILL BRING THIS TO YOU ANNUALLY ABOUT THIS TIME JUST TO GO OVER THOSE, UM AND THE PROCESS. THERE WE GO KIND OF GIVES YOU YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS, AND A TAX ABATEMENT, BASICALLY, TAX ABATEMENT. WE GET TIPS IN THE YEAR TWO TIPS AND TAX PAYMENT. REALLY A TAX PAYMENT IS A BENEFIT TO THE COMPANY DIRECTLY FOR THEIR COMMITMENT TO INVESTMENT, JOBS AND PAYROLL. AND THAT'S WHAT IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO. THIS EXAMPLE IS ACTUALLY HARDY WORLD. WE JUST WENT THROUGH THIS EXAMPLE HERE NOT LONG AGO, BUT IT GIVES YOU THE AMOUNT OF PAYMENT WE OFFERED 75% FOR 10 YEARS THE AMOUNT OF CONSTRUCTION INVESTMENT THE TOTAL INVESTMENT $14 MILLION.75 JOBS. YOU CAN SEE THE PAYROLL. YOU CAN ALSO SEE WHAT THE ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE OF THAT BUILDING IS. AFTER IT'S CONSTRUCTED. THAT'S IMPORTANT WHEN YOU DETERMINE THE TAXES TO THE RIGHT. SORRY IT'S HARD TO READ. BUT THE HIGHER WORLD PROPERTY TODAY IS GENERATING $285 TOTAL IN TAXES AND PROBABLY TAXES. THAT MEANS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S GETTING ABOUT $210 OF THAT $285. THAT'S WHAT IT'S GENERATING ITS C A U. V AND DURING DEBATE, AND IT'S GOING TO GENERATE ABOUT $48,000 A YEAR FOR ALL THE TAXING AUTHORITIES AND THEN AFTER THE ABATEMENT GOES AWAY, AND YOU'RE 11 IT WILL GENERATE ABOUT $194,000 SO IT'S A HUGE GAIN FOR THE COMMUNITY WHEN YOU SEE THIS TYPE OF INVESTMENT INCENTIVE, ALTHOUGH YOU IT'S REDUCED TAX, YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A HUGE BENEFIT EVEN DURING THE EVADE MINT BECAUSE OF THE INVESTMENT THAT'S ACTUALLY BEING MADE. SO WE ALSO HAVE WHAT WE CALL IN SANTA PAWS, AND SOMETIMES WE NEED TO STEP BACK AND SAY WHAT IS THE INCENTIVE POLICY IS SOMETHING THAT THE CITY IS REALLY STOOD STRONG WITH AS WELL AS THE COUNTY. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PARTNERS TO THE RIDE THAT OUT ON THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES, DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT PARTICIPATE IN THIS AND REALLY, IT'S TO CREATE AN ORGANISM ORGANIZED APPROACH TO HOW WE CREATE JOBS AND INVESTMENT IN THE COMMUNITY. HOW WE RETAIN JOBS. WE HELP EXISTING JOBS ARE ACTUALLY HAVE NEW COMPANIES LOCATED HERE AS WELL. IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO RESPOND TO COMPANIES IN A TIMELY FASHION.

IF WE HAVE A CONCERN POLICY, WE KNOW WHAT THE RULES ARE. WE KNOW WHAT WE CAN EXPECT, AND IT GIVES US A BUSINESS LIKE APPROACH TO TAX ABATEMENTS. AND ALSO IT ALSO IS THE INCENTIVE POLICY IS A GUIDE. IT'S NOT A DOCUMENT IN WHICH WE HAVE TO ABIDE BY ITS STILL UP TO CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE TAX PAYMENT IS REALLY THE POINT BEING MADE HERE. SO WHAT IS THE TURK? NOT A VERY GOOD ACRONYM, BUT WE HAVE A NUMBER OF MEMBERS FROM THE CITY. WE HAVE JR REPRESENTS CITY COUNCIL. WE HAVE TERRY, BRAD AND MYSELF. ACTUALLY THAT SERVE ON THIS ON THIS AS WELL. AND THE TURK ACTUALLY MEETS ANNUALLY AND , UM, EVALUATE EACH TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT ANNUALLY TO SEE IF THEY'RE MEETING THEIR PLEDGED JOBS, PAYROLL INVESTMENT. SO WE HAVE TWO OF THEM CURRENTLY IN EXISTENCE IN THE CITY. WANNA SUMITOMO ELECTRIC WIRING SYSTEMS? THEY HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME. UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK THEY'RE ALMOST THERE ALMOST OUT THE ABATEMENT.

THIS MIGHT BE YEAR NINE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT YOU CAN SEE THE AMOUNT PLEDGED, WHICH IS THE LAST $10 MILLION OF ACTUALLY INVESTED ABOUT $13 MILLION IN THE CITY. THEY PROMISED 15 NEW JOBS THEY'VE ACTUALLY CREATED 16 . YOU CAN SEE THE NEW PAYROLL. IT'S ACTUALLY $728,000. THEY RETAINED THE EXACT NUMBER OF JOBS AND THEN THE ROUTINE PAYROLL IS REALLY EXCEEDED. I

[00:35:01]

ESPECIALLY THE JOB CREATION. WHAT WE REALIZED IS THAT THE NUMBERS PROVIDED TO US WE'RE IN THE SUMMER AND FALL AND HERITAGE CO OPS NUMBERS GO UP IN THE SUMMER AND FALL. AND THIS IS A SNAPSHOT AS OF 12 31 OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR. SO ALL THE NUMBERS WE HAVE HERE IS OUR AS OF DECEMBER. 31ST 2021 IS WHEN THESE NUMBERS ARE ACTUALLY REGENERATED TO KEEP THAT IN THE CONTEXT. SO THE TURKEY IS RECOMMENDING THE CONTINUATION OF THIS ONE. BUT YOU CAN SEE ON THE PLEASURE AMOUNT THEY'VE EXCEEDED THE INVESTMENT LEVELS THEY ACTUALLY HAVE ONLY CREATED 17 NEW JOBS 25 PEAK. YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE ANNUAL PAYROLL IS. THEY HAVE NOT MET THAT AS WELL. UH AND THEY'VE NOT RETAINING JOBS BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T REQUIRED OR THEY HAVE ANY RETAINED PAYROLL THERE. HOWEVER UM, YOU KNOW, THE TURK FELT THAT WITH THE INVESTMENT LEVELS BUT BUT THE OTHER POINT THAT THE TURK MADE DURING OUR REVIEW WAS THAT WE NEED TO REVIEW THIS AND IN FEBRUARY OF NEXT YEAR TO SEE WHERE THE NUMBERS COME OUT 2020 AND 2021, AS YOU KNOW, HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT YEARS FOR COMPANIES AND WORKFORCE CHALLENGES. BUT ALSO WITH THE SHUTDOWNS AND OTHER FACTORS. WE ARE GOING TO BE RE REVIEWING EACH OF THESE ABATEMENTS IN FEBRUARY TO SEE WHAT THE NUMBERS ARE, AS OF 12 31 22. IF THERE'S ANY CHANGES, AND HOPEFULLY THERE'S CHANGES TO THE POSITIVE IF THERE IS NOT THERE COME BACK WITH ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION, POSSIBLY OF MODIFICATION ON SOME OF THESE TAX INCENTIVES. AND I KNOW THAT BRAD TERRY AND JR PARTICIPATED IN EACH OF THESE REVIEWS AND ON WITH YOU WANTED TO ADD ANYTHING THIS EVENING AS WELL. I'LL JUST ADD ON HERITAGE EQUIPMENT AND ALSO MENTIONED THAT WE RECENTLY GOT A DONATION OF THE PROPERTY UPTOWN. AH AND THAT WAS STARTED THROUGH SOME OF THIS PROCESS AS WELL AS WE WERE DISCUSSING. WITH THEM WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO WITH THAT THAT PROPERTY. HMM. JUST A QUESTION. FOR A WHILE. WE HAVE. WE HAD ADVANCED BUS INDUSTRIES. THIS IS A LONG NAME A LONG TIME. WE HAVE MARK PROPER REMEMBERS THAT COMPANY. THEY WERE DOWN IN THE ROCKWELL BUILDING. WE DID TERMINATE THAT ONE. WE ALSO REDUCED THE PAYMENT FOR TIMCO. SO SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS SO THERE'S LIKELY THERE'S PROBABLY GONNA BE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS ON SOME OF THESE INCENTIVES UNLESS THEY MEET THE NUMBERS TO MAYBE GO BACK AND JUST MEET THE MINIMUM NUMBERS OF THE INCENTIVE POLICY. WHATEVER THOSE NUMBERS ARE, THAT WAS WHAT THEY'RE BAITING IS GOING TO BE VERSUS THE PLEDGED AMOUNT OF 75 WHATEVER THE JOBS WERE, SO WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING A DEEP DIVE, BUT WE HAVE DONE IT BEFORE WE'VE REDUCED MODIFIED AND WE'VE ALSO TERMINATED IN SOME CASES AS WELL. THANKS FOR THE INFO. ANY OTHER COUNCIL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. OKAY THIS WILL BE BACK FOR A SECOND READING ON

[Res. C]

YES OKAY. MOTION CARRIERS. ORDINANCE A SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND SECTION

[Ord. A]

[00:40:08]

[Ord. B]

AND AT THAT TIME, ISABEL I DON'T MIND DOING IT. BUT UM, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TRY TO GET ON COUNCIL. AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER WE ARE PROMISING REALITY GOING TO KEEP OKAY, THAT WAS THAT WAS THAT WAS MY MAIN GOAL. THERE WILL BE WE HAD SAID A NUMBER OF GOLF'S PRESENTLY THE POOL WAS ONE OF THOSE. WE WILL PAY THAT AT THAT TIME WE MAY HAVE NEEDED TO CLOSE TO PULL. UM WE ALSO HAD TO LET A NUMBER OF SAFETY SERVICE PERSONNEL GO. AND OF COURSE, THE OTHER BIG THING FOR THE CITIZENS WAS THE FACT OE THREE BOY QUESTIONS AND A COUPLE OTHER ONES, BUT THOSE THOSE ARE THE MAIN ONES AND FOR 13 YEARS WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP UP PROMISE. BUT THIS THIS YEAR IT'S BECOME MORE CHALLENGING. OKAY UM , IF YOU LOOK AT THE INTRODUCTION LETTER THE WE GO HALFWAY, IT SAYS THE 2023 BUDGET MEETS THIS STRATEGIC GOALS AND DIRECTIONS, SAID THEY COUNCIL AND THE ADMINISTRATION AND PROVIDE A CLEAR, VIABLE WORK PLAN FOR THE COMING YEAR. NOW I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE, UM THE STRATEGIC ALS WE HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY SPECIFIC. OKAY UM, MAYBE TWO SPECIFIC? I DON'T KNOW , BUT I'M JUST TO NAME A FEW OF THEM THAT I CANNOT FULLY LOCATED OUT HERE. ONE OF THEM IS THE CAPITAL RESERVE FUND. WHEN WE DID GO THROUGH THE STRATEGIC GOALS THE WE HAD AN AMOUNT OF 1.7 MILLION AND THE GOAL WAS AT THE END OF 2023. MIND YOU THAT WE DID HAVE TO BUDGET CYCLES. IT ISN'T JUST THIS ONE PARTICULAR WE HAD TO BUDGET CYCLES, SO WE HAD TWO CHANCES TO GET IT TO THE THREE MILLION, WHICH IS WHAT WE BUT I WOULD CALL WAS AND I DO REALIZE THAT THIS ONE IS TO ALLOW US AT TIMES. TO BORROW MONEY FROM AND THEN FILL IT BACK IN AGAIN, IN CASE THAT WE NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. I NEEDED TO DO THAT, UM, WITH THE TRAFFIC LIGHT OVER, UM SCOTS SCOTS FARM . I'M CALLING SORRY. SCOTT'S M SCOTTS ROAD WITH THE TRAFFIC LIGHT 600,000, BUT WE HAD SOMETHING TO FALL BACK ON. UNFORTUNATELY THE SEAGULLS THE THREE MILLION THAT HE HAD SET AS A GOAL AT THE END OF 2023 IS ONLY GOING TO BE 1.5 MILLION.

YEAH, SO THAT'S THAT'S ONE THAT I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH, UM THE OTHER ONE THAT WE HAD IS, UM, FOR A LENGTH OF TIME WE HAD TALKED ABOUT. WE'VE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT A FIRE STATION. YES FIRE STATION AND FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER, UM, I'M NOT FINDING MUCH OF ANYTHING ABOUT ONE IN THE 2023 BUDGET, THE GOALS THAT WE HAD SET. UM WORK FOR 2022 FUNDING FOR THE THIRD PLAYSTATION, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY WE WERE NOT ABLE TO MEET 2023 DETERMINED LOCATION , ARCHITECT AND BEGIN DESIGN 2024 BREAK GROUND AND 2025 3RD STATION OPERATIONAL.

UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S NOT A GOAL THAT I SEE. UM BEING MET IN THE CURRENT BUDGET. UM THEN WE MOVE

[00:45:06]

AND MIKE AND RICO AND MIKE ALERTED US TO THE FACT THAT THAT TIME YOU KNOW THAT AT THE EIGHT THAT THE CITY IS GOING THAT WE MAY NO LONGER QUALIFY FOR THE SMALL TOWN GANZ AND AT THAT TIME , I MEAN, IT WAS IT WAS GOOD DISCUSSION. YEAH. B B. WE HAD ALL THE FACTS IN FRONT OF US, AND WE DID THE SIDE THAT IT WAS IN THE BEST INTEREST FOR THE CITY OF MAYSVILLE. AND IT WAS A GOOD COLLABORATION BETWEEN, UM ADMINISTRATION AND COUNCIL. SIKU FINANCE COMMITTEE THAT WE COULD MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION, AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE NOW GOING TO WORK ON THE ELBOWED. THAT'S FOR 2023. THAT'S THE YEAR THAT WE HAVE TO DO THAT. AND THEN AGAIN , WE COULD SAY, WELL, THAT'S A BIG PORTION OF PAVING. AND YOU AND AGAIN YOU CAN LOOK AT IT IN DIFFERENT WAYS. BUT AT THAT TIME WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO EXPECT THAT, IN ADDITION TO THAT WE WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO DO OUR $1.5 MILLION IN RESIDENTIAL PEEPING, WHICH THIS YEAR IS OUT OF THE BUDGET, OKAY, BUT AGAIN, UNFORTUNATELY, THINGS CHANGE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND THAT'S WHY I'M ANXIOUS FOR 2024 ON PHASE THREE OF, UM UM 31, WHICH IS THE CONSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THE ACCOUNT. BECAUSE AT THE TIME THAT WE RECOMMENDED THAT THE COUNCIL WILL GOING TO BE GIVEN, UM TUNDRA $2 MILLION WORTH FROM OH, PWC, AND WE ANTICIPATED THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE, UM, FOUR MILLION ALTOGETHER. MY HUNCH TODAY IS THAT IF WE REALISTICALLY LOOK AT WHAT THAT'S GOING TO BE FOR NEXT YEAR , PROBABLY CLOSER TO FIVE MILLION AGAIN. THAT'S VIETNAM.

WE HAVEN'T EVEN BID IT OUT YET, SO, BUT THAT'S THAT'S BASED ON INCREASES IN EVERYTHING. YEAH WHAT? WHAT I STILL LIKE TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT BASED ON THOSE EXPERIENCES. YEAH, WE'LL BE WORKED LIKE IN FOURTH. IF I COULD GET A TIMELINE AS TO THE REQUEST FOR THE FUNDS FOR THE ROUNDABOUT ON 31 CAN ASSUME THAT AT SOME POINT IN TIME BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER IN THE END OF THE FIVE YEAR CAPITAL. IT WASN'T THE END OF 22 CAPITAL. IT WASN'T IN THE 21 CAPITAL, SO IN INTERNAL CONVERSATIONS. YEAH GOT IT TO A POINT OF SAYING THIS WOULD BE A BETTER IDEA. YEAH I ASSUME THAT'S HOW IT WORKED. WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO WORKERS WALK US THROUGH THAT WE REVISIT WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT AT THE LAST COMMITTEE MEETING. WE TOOK IT. THE COUNCIL COMMITTEE AND AUGUST CORRECT TALK ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF CHANGING IT. FROM A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION TO A ROUNDABOUT CONCEPT WITH THE WHOLE THOUGHT PROCESS BEING TO CREATE A SAFER. ENTRY AREA INTO THE CITY AND AT THE SAME TIME WE WERE GOING TO HAVE THE CONTRIBUTION. THE SAME CONTRIBUTION FROM THE DEVELOPER THAT WAS IN THE AREA, AS WELL AS A POSSIBILITY TO APPLY FOR OH PWC FUNDS, WHICH THE LEGISLATION WAS ON THERE TONIGHT AND SUPPORTED THE COST OF THAT PROJECT. IF IT'S STILL UNKNOWN RIGHT NOW, BUT I THINK, UM I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE WELL WITHIN THE BUDGET THERE ON THE ROUNDABOUT PROJECT. IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT OF A PROJECT.

IT'S THERE'S A LOT OF PAVEMENT ALREADY, THEIR STAFF IS DOING A GOOD JOB OF REALLY TRYING TO GET

[00:50:07]

WHICH MIGHT BE ANY WE SHOULD HAVE USED FOR, UM, FOR PAVING. SO THAT BUT AGAIN, THAT'S THAT'S HANG BURMESE FEELING BECAUSE THE OTHER THING THAT CONCERNS ME IS THAT IF WE LOOK AT ANOTHER PART IF HE APPROVED THE BUDGET TONIGHT, ANOTHER THING THAT CONCERNS ME IS THAT ABOUT TRADE ALONG AND AGAIN THAT'S FOR EACH COUNCIL MEMBER TO THE SIDE. YEAH BUT WE JUST SPENT ROUGHLY ABOUT $4 MILLION ON STREET. YEAH WE GAVE THE SLUMLORD A FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THE MARRIAGEABLE PLAZA. YEAH AND NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT THROUGH THROUGH THE DEPTH THROUGH THE DEV. BUT NOW THAT IN THE IN THE BUDGET THE INITIAL BUDGET THAT HE RECEIVED WE WERE LOOKING AT AN $800,000 ROUND ABOUT WELL, I ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT THERE IS NO MONEY ALLOCATED IN 2023 TO DO THIS STUDY AND NOW IN A NEW BUDGET, IT SHOWS 200,000. FOR HER TO STUDY THIS YEAR AND THEN 300,000 FOR THE STUDY IN OFFER THE ACTUAL BUILDING IN 2024. YES. SO WE'VE GONE FROM FAITH BACK TO TWO AND THREE, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO BE OUT OF THE GENERAL PLANNING OR IF THAT IS ALSO A PORTION OF THE DIFF IN WHICH PROJECT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TALKING ABOUT? UM THE, UM PEACH PEACH STREET. 15 20 ACCURATE GUYS. I THOUGHT I THOUGHT IT WAS WITH THE TIFF. IT IS A PART OF THE TEST. WE WERE USING THE SIGNAL THE FUNDS TO BUILD THE SIGNAL. TO REPURPOSE FOR THE ROUNDABOUT. OKAY SO THAT'S GOING TO BE, UM THAT THAT ONE THEN WILL NOT BE BECAUSE IT IS NOT EXPLAINED IT ONLY SHOWS AS A CAPITAL EXPENSE, BUT IT DOES NOT SHOW WHERE THE FUNDS ARE COMING FROM. YEAH SO THE POINT THAT I'M TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT, UM, BE BUILDING AND

[00:55:11]

[01:00:02]

WE HAD A COMPANY GLOBAL WAFERS THAT WAS CONSIDERING OUR INNOVATION PARK THAT WOULD HAVE POTENTIALLY BROUGHT 1500 JOBS AND TAKING UP THE REMAINDER OF INNOVATION PARK. AS THOSE THINGS BEGIN TO HAPPEN, THEY PROVIDE RESOURCES TO US TO BE ABLE. TO GET US TO A POSITION WHERE WE CAN AFFORD OFFICIALLY DO SOME OF THE THINGS AFFILIATED. NOW WHAT I WILL SAY HERE. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK BEHIND THE SCENES ON THE THIRD FIRE STATION THAT WE'VE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS INTERNALLY LOOKING FOR POTENTIALLY WHAT THAT RIGHT LOCATION IS. BUT WE ARE WAITING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF A WAITING GAME ON ON. SECURING FUTURE DEVELOPMENT TO HELP US PAY FOR THESE THINGS , AND SO THE THIRD FIRE STATION IS A PRIORITY. BUT WE CAN NAME YEARS ALL WE WANT YOU GUYS, BUT IF THERE'S NO DEVELOPMENT THAT OCCURS IN 2023 EASE, DECIDES NOT TO GO ON WITH THEIR PROJECT. THEN IT'S GOING TO BE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD AND IF HARDY WORLD DECIDES TO STOP AND NOT DO THEIR PROJECT AND GLOBAL WAFERS DID NOT COME HERE, SO A LOT OF IT IS DEPENDENT. ON SECURING. THE COMPANIES AND THE JOBS THAT HELPED FUND. THE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE, LIKE IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH AND UM AND SO IT'S . UNFORTUNATELY, IT TENDS TO WORK THAT WAY. THE OTHER THING IS. I THINK I'VE TOLD YOU GUYS BEFORE. IF WE TAKE SOMETHING TO COMMITTEE OR TAKE SOMETHING THE CITY COUNCIL TO WORK SESSION AND THE MAJORITY OF THIS COUNCIL MAKES A DECISION OR TAKES ACTION THAT THEY WANT US TO GO A CERTAIN WAY. WE WILL DO THAT IN A HEARTBEAT WITH NO HESITATION. THE ISSUE IS IF IT'S JUST ONE COUNCIL MEMBER. OR TWO. IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FORCED TO CHANGE. WHAT WE'RE DOING, JUST BASED ON THAT ONE PERSON AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE CONSENSUS OF THE GROUP IS AND ONCE WE KNOW THE CONSENSUS WILL GO THERE. WE'LL GO RIGHT THERE AND ACCOMPLISH EXACTLY WHAT THAT CONSENSUS. FLORENCE AND SO THAT'S I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO. OKAY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE RIGHT NOW. HMM. ANY OTHER COMMENTS, THE ONLY COMMENT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS THAT I THINK IT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE FOR HANK TO SAY THE COMMENTS THAT HE DOES BECAUSE THE BUDGET IS SUCH A HUGE TOPIC. AND YOU KNOW, IT DOES TAKE A LOT OF COURAGE BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE STAFF WHO WORKS REALLY HARD TO PUT THIS TOGETHER AND ALL OF US AND YOU SHOULD, YOU KNOW, SO I COMMEND YOU ON THOSE THE ONLY

I MEAN, IT'S CRAZY, BUT WHAT I'M EVEN MORE AMAZED OF IS LIKE HOW FAST LIKE THEY GET PICKED UP, SO SHOUT OUT TO THE TO THE STREET CREWS. UM IT'S LOOKING GREAT. UM, THANK YOU FOR THE FOR THAT WORK. I APPRECIATE IT, AND SO DOES WARD ONE. UM AS FOR THE OH YES. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
