[HEARING OF CITIZENS]

SO IS THERE ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON ITEMS THAT ARE NOT PART OF THE NATURE AGENDA.

JOHN MARSHALL 12 11 WOULD LINE DRIVE HERE IN MARYSVILLE. UM MOSTLY QUESTION. I GUESS MY COMMENTS WILL DEPEND ON WHAT THE ANSWER IS SOMETIMES LONG, LONG TIME AGO. REMEMBER SEEING A PICTURE IN THE JOURNAL TRIBUNE ABOUT THE MIRROR HERITAGE COOP? I WAS GOING TO DONATE THE OLDER , HIGHER GREEN SITE, OLD COUNTRY MARK. I DON'T KNOW. BUT THE OLD GREENERY TO THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE. AND THE PICTURE REMEMBER SEEING WAS A MOCK UP OF A OF A MURAL. SO UM, I NEVER I DON'T REMEMBER IF THAT WAS BEFORE OR AFTER I MOVED HERE, AND I'VE NEVER HEARD WHAT THE OUTCOME MOVED BACK. I SHOULD SAY , UM, IF YOU ACTUALLY DID ACCEPT OWNERSHIP OF THAT, AND I GUESS THAT DEPENDING ON THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS WHERE MY COMMENTS WILL GO. SO IF YOU GUYS COULD DO YOU HAVE, LIKE A 32ND UPDATE ON WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THAT, PROBABLY. I THINK WE HAVE MORE THAN 30. SECONDS AVAILABLE FOR YOU. SO FROM THESE FOLKS TIME NO, NO, NO. NO. BUT BUT, UM , CAN WE TAKE TEAM BECAUSE PERFECT. TALKS ABOUT THE FACILITY THAT THE 2.5 ACRE SITE HAS BEEN DONATED TO THE CITY SPIN ACCEPTED. THE CITY HAS RECEIVED SOME FUNDING FOR SOME DEMOLITION AND CLEANUP WORK ON THE SITE. YOU'LL BE SEEING SOME OF THE OUT BUILDINGS HERE IN THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS STARTING TO COME DOWN. UM THE BUILDINGS OUT FRONT. AND THEN THERE'S A BUILDING ALONG THE BACK OF THE SILOS THAT NEEDS TO COME DOWN AS WELL. THAT WILL BE A PART OF THAT PROCESS. THE SITE'S GONNA BE CLEANED UP. UH AS A PART OF THAT, AND THEN IT'S ANOTHER PHASE THAT'S COMING HERE THIS SUMMER WILL BE WILL BE, UH, PATCHING THE SILOS AND THEN PAINTING THEM TO IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE. UM NOW THERE'S MORE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT TO POTENTIALLY DO ON THAT SITE. THAT WE HAVE A COUPLE DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS WHERE WE COULD GO POTENTIALLY IN THE DIRECTION OF WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WHERE WE COULD DEVELOPMENT INTO A PARK LIKE CONCEPT, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE THOUGHTS. WE ALSO HAVE A DEVELOPER THAT HAS SOME INTEREST IN THE SILOS IN POSSIBILITY. REDEVELOPING THAT

[00:20:06]

NOTHING HAS BEEN DECIDED. BUT WITH THE NINE ACRE SITE ACROSS THE STREET, THE WATER PLANT SITE , UH, THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT DOING SOME CLEANUP AND REDEVELOPMENT OF THAT SIDE AS WELL. THAT HOLD AND THAT NORTH END OF THE UPTOWN IS GOING TO GO THROUGH. A LOT OF TRANSITIONING OVER THE NEXT 3 TO 5 YEARS AND WILL KEEP THE COMMUNITY UPDATED AS WE MAKE PROGRESS OR MAKE DECISIONS TO THE PROGRESS. SO THE PAINTING THIS SUMMER IS JUST WHITE. YES JUST BACK TO WHITE SO THAT IT LOOKS A LITTLE BETTER THAN IT DOES CURRENTLY PRIMARY CONCERN WHEN I FIRST SAW THAT, AS IS THE BIG L WORD, WHICH IS LIABILITY? YEAH UM THE CITY WOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT WITHOUT TYING THE ORIGINAL OWNER INTO SOME FINANCIAL COMMITMENT, BECAUSE EVENTUALLY THOSE THINGS WILL HAVE TO COME DOWN. UM NOW, IT WOULD BE NICE NIGHT. IT WOULD BE COOL AND UNIQUE IF THE MAIN TOWERS COULD BE UM, REPURPOSED INTO SOME HOUSING BECAUSE I'M ALL IN FAVOR OF DEVELOPMENT GOING UP INSTEAD OF OUT WHICH IS A WHOLE ANOTHER ISSUE FOR ANOTHER DAY. UM BUT LIKE YOU SAID, UM, JUST FROM THE SAFETY OF THE SITE, WHAT IT ENDS UP BEING USED AS, UM, I HAD A CHUCKLE A LITTLE BIT. AS FAR AS THE MURAL GOES THAT NOBODY PROBABLY REALIZE REALIZES HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF PAINT THAT WOULD REQUIRE IT BE, WHICH IS ALSO GOING TO BE A LOT OF MONEY SO GRAND IDEA, BUT IT NEEDS TO GET FINANCED AND JUST LOOKING AT THE TOWERS THEMSELVES AND HAVING SOME KNOWLEDGE ABOUT WHAT GOES ON INSIDE. UM IT'S OBVIOUSLY STARTING TO DECAY AND SO FORTH. SO UM, GOOD TO HEAR THAT THERE IS SOME INTEREST IN IN THE REDEVELOPMENT PART. UM LIKE I SAID, MY PRIMARY CONCERN WAS THE DEVELOPMENT AND TYING SOMEBODY INTO THAT BECAUSE WHETHER THOSE THINGS STAND FIVE YEARS OR 25 YEARS AT SOME POINT STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES BECAUSE THINGS ARE KIND OF HAPPENING, UH THROUGH PROCESSES AND CITY COUNCILS VERY INVOLVED, AND WE'RE GONNA PROBABLY OVER THE COMING MONTHS. TRY TO PIN DOWN AH, MORE OF A DECISION ON THE EXACT DIRECTION WE MAY WANT TO GO ON THOSE SITES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY THANK YOU. SO MUCH FOR YOUR QUESTION. APPRECIATE IT. ALREADY. ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY? YES, MA'AM. FIRST OF ALL, I AM SO EXCITED TO HOST THIS THURSDAY, SO CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE ALL OF YOU THERE AND SHOW OFF STUDENTS AND HAVE THIS CITY BE ABLE TO COME FORWARD AND SHARE THE GREAT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO COLLABORATE IN A LOT OF THINGS, BUT I THINK THIS ONE WILL BE REALLY SPECIAL, SO EXCITED TO HOST I SECOND MR PRESIDENT, BURBEY AND MR EMERY. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SOME DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SCHOOLS IN THE CITY AND ONE OF THE IDEAS THAT HAS REALLY EMERGED AS POSSIBLY COMING AND GIVING AN UPDATE ONCE A MONTH WILL KEEP THEM SHORT ABOUT THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE SCHOOLS AND HAVE YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS OF US. SO AND PREPARING FOR THAT, I THOUGHT, WHAT A BETTER WAY THAN TO HIGHLIGHT ONE OF OUR MOST INCREDIBLE PROGRAMS IN MARYSVILLE. SCHOOLS ARE F F A. IF YOU'RE NOT AWARE THERE ARE STATE AND NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PROGRAM AND THEY ARE DOING SOME REALLY SPECIAL THINGS, AND THIS ONE HAS BEEN HIGHLIGHTED IN THE JT LATELY, BUT JUST A REALLY SPECIAL PROJECT THAT TALKS ABOUT THE HEARTS OF OUR STUDENTS. SO IT'S MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE TO YOU AUSTIN BENNETT, WHO WAS A SOPHOMORE IN MARYSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, AND MEGAN MAURY, 12TH GRADER AT THAT, I SAY REYNOLDSBURG, OR DID I SEE MARYSVILLE REASON I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE MARYSVILLE REYNOLDSBURG GAME ALL DAY, RIGHT ? I CAN'T GET THAT OUT OF MY MIND. SO WELCOME THEM BOTH UP HERE. ALRIGHT SO WE JUST CAME TODAY TO TALK ABOUT OUR MARK MARKET PROJECT. AND SO THIS WAS KIND OF A PROJECT THAT WE STARTED AT, UM, THE HIGH SCHOOL AND IT WAS JUST LIKE A FOOD PANTRY AT THE HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE WITH THE HOPE CENTER DISPLACED AND, UM IT WAS JUST SAYING THAT THERE WAS A NEED THERE. WE KIND OF TOOK ACTION WITH THIS PROJECT. I MET MEGAN. IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO RECORD IT. WOULD YOU MIND LOOKING THIS WAY? IF YOU TURN AROUND FOR YOU CANNOT HEAR YOU UNDER RECORDING SO AS CITIZENS START THIS PROJECT. WE KICKED IT OFF WITH A HUNGER BANQUET, WHICH I KIND OF IMPLEMENTED AS PART OF OUR SEPTEMBER F F A MEETING. WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A SCHEDULED EVENT OR TOPIC TO BASE OUR MEETING ON. SO I STARTED TO LOOK INTO THIS IDEA. AND SO HUNGER BANQUETS PRETTY MUCH A REAL LIFE STIMULATION OF KIND OF UNEQUAL FOOD DISTRIBUTION. SO WHEN THE

[00:25:02]

[00:30:04]

THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE INTO SCHOOL FOR MANY MORE YEARS TO, UM, TO BE IN EXISTENCE AND BE A HELP FOR SOME OF THE OTHER STUDENTS. THANK YOU. WELL DONE, MR PRESIDENT.

OUR GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM JUST MADE REYNOLDSBURG AND, UH. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ARE HEADED DOWN THE PATH IN THE BRACKET OF THE STATE TOURNAMENT THAT THEY'RE SPECIAL. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN HERE, I KNOW JR HAS BEEN THERE. THEY'RE REALLY SPECIAL. SO WESTERVILLE NORTH AS SUPPOSED TO BE A NEUTRAL SITE, BUT WE'RE PLAYING WESTERVILLE SOUTH FOR ANOTHER TOPIC, BUT I THINK IT'S TIME THAT WE JUST GO THERE AND SHOW THEM WHAT MONARCH PRIDE LOOKS LIKE. SO I INVITE YOU ALL TO COME. THANK YOU. OKAY AND AGAIN. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[Res C.]

AT THAT LOCATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF POTENTIALLY PUTTING A LIST STATION OR EXPLAINING OUR LIFT STATIONS AND TO HAVE A PLACE TO PUT IT. OBVIOUSLY DURING THAT TIME PERIOD, WE FOUND AN ALTERNATIVE LOCATION IN THAT SAME GENERAL AREA THAT'S SERVING US BETTER PURPOSE. THEREFORE, JUST RECENTLY, WE GOT AUTHORIZATION. TO PUT THAT PROPERTY ON THE MARKET FOR SALE . WE PURCHASED THE PROPERTY. I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE YEAR EXACTLY. BUT IT'S SEVERAL YEARS AGO FOR ABOUT $190,000. IT'S BEEN ON THE MARKET NOW TO SELL FOR 249,009. WE HAVE AN INTERESTED PARTY. THAT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT NOW TO ALSO LET YOU KNOW DURING THE TIME PERIOD THAT WE WERE WAITING ON WHETHER WE NEED THIS PROPERTY FOR A PUMP STATION WERE WE WERE ABLE TO RENT OUT THE PROPERTY AND SOMEONE LIVED THERE DURING THAT TIME PERIOD, SO WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE SOME MONEY AT THE SAME TIME. THROUGH THROUGH HER LEASE FEES. THE BORDER CONTROL MET ON THIS THIS MORNING, WHICH INCLUDES HANK AND BRAD AND I, AND WE VOTED TO AUTHORIZE FOR THE PURCHASE OF THIS AND THIS LEGISLATION NOW IS BEFORE YOU TO REQUEST THAT SAME AUTHORIZATION.

THAT'S IT. I MEAN, WE HAD TWO OTHER OFFERS THAT CAME IN. BOTH WERE LOWER THAN THE 2 49 9. SO THIS IS THE HIGHEST OFFER THAT WE'VE RECEIVED. AND SHE PAID NOT MISTAKEN. THAT WAS THE ACTUALLY THE ASKING POLICE. IT WAS COMPLETELY. COMPREHENSIVE ABOUT IT. WE HAD MARKETED HIGHER.

THERE WAS AN INSPECTION REPORT THAT CAME BACK SHOWED SOME, UM STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS WITH PART OF THE PART OF THE FOUNDATION. SO WHEN WE RE LISTED IT WAS ACTUALLY ALWAYS LISTED, BUT WE RE MARKETED IT AT A LOWER PRICE. AT 2 49. ORIGINALLY IT WAS TO 79 SO THEN WE CAME BACK INTO 2 49 BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT WE FOUND THROUGH THE INSPECTION. WE HAVE A CONTRACT WE HAD CONTINGENTS CONTRACT THAT WE WERE GOING TO COME TO COUNSEL WITH. FOR TWO. 25 NO, IT WAS. 2

[00:40:04]

AND TO THE RESIDENTS WHO ALSO TEXTED AND EMAILED AND CALLED AND SAID THEY WERE STAYING ON THEIR PORCHES AND SOLIDARITY WITH MY FAMILY. I WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER BE GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF YOU. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. YEAH UM, GO AHEAD. FEW THINGS. UM NUMBER ONE. UH WE'VE OBVIOUSLY TALKED ABOUT THE GIRLS WINNING THE, UH , DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS. SO CONGRATULATIONS TO HEAD COACH CLARKE. RANSOM UM, AND OUR OWN ANACLETO SKIS. DAUGHTER EVA IS A SENIOR STARTER ON THAT TEAM. SO CONGRATULATIONS TO EVA AND MOM, ANNA. UM ALSO LAST WEEKEND, WE HAD A FIRST EVER, UH, SECOND PLACE AT THE STATE DIVING CHAMPIONSHIP. UH SOFIA STAM, WHO IS A JUNIOR AT MARYSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, UM, BEING MARRIED TO THE FORMER LONGTIME SWIMMING SWIMMING DIVE COACH, I KIND OF KNOW THAT THAT'S THE HIGHEST WE'VE EVER HAD ANYBODY PLACE. AT EITHER THE SWIMMING OR THE DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS, SO CONGRATULATIONS TO SOFIA. UM. WE WERE MOVING ALONG, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I'M GOING TO BRING IT TO A HALT HERE FOR A MINUTE. GO AHEAD AND PULL THAT UP. UM WE HAD A CENSUS BACK IN 2020, AND WE REDREW THE WARD. BECAUSE OF THOSE NUMBERS IF YOU COULD GO TO THE REGION AH, MIX ONE FIRST.

BUT WE REALLY NEVER SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON HOW OUR CENSUS, THE POPULATION OF MARYSVILLE COMPARED TO OTHER COMMUNITIES. UM TWO WEEKS AGO, WE HAD DR BILL LAFAYETTE, WHO CHAIRS ARE OWNS RAGE REGION, NOMICS COME IN AND GIVE A SPEECH. DONALD HANK AND I WERE ALL THREE THERE. AND HE LOOKED AT 34 CITIES. IN THE STATE OF OHIO OVER THE LAST 50 YEARS, AND HE BROKE THEM INTO THREE CATEGORIES. GROWING CITIES , WHICH YOU'LL SEE MARY AS WELL AS ONE OF THEM STABLE SLASH STAGNANT CITIES AND THEN DECLINING CITIES. AND IF YOU SCROLL DOWN A LITTLE BIT KEY RANKED THEM. BASED ON GROWING STAGNANT, DECLINING AND THEN ALSO MARYSVILLE BY ITSELF, SO YOU CAN SEE INCOME. WE DO PRETTY WELL. 9 98,023 IF YOU'RE A GROWING CITY AVERAGE 108 608,600 STAGNANT 77,000 OF YOUR DECLINING 53 9. 200% OF POVERTY LEVEL. 15% OF MARYSVILLE RESIDENTS QUALIFY FOR THAT. GROWING CITIES 15 7 STABLE, 40.7 DECLINING 41.9. PERCENT OF THE

[01:00:09]

COS AGAIN WE CONTINUE TO DO ABOUT WHAT THE GROWING CITIES DO RESTAURANTS AGAIN. WE'RE WELL ABOVE STAGNANT AND DECLINING CITIES AND PERSONAL SERVICE COMPANIES. UM WE'RE AT 4.8% WERE GROWING CITIES IS 35 AGAIN. WE LAG QUITE A BIT IF YOU GO TO STABLE OR DECLINING, YOU SEE THAT THEY REALLY DROPPED UM, YOU KNOW, HE HAD SOME THOUGHTS BEHIND ALL THAT. I'M JUST PRESENTING WHAT HE PRESENTED IF YOU GO OVER TO THE CITY CENSUS. SO WHAT GROW WHAT DOES GROWTH REALLY MEAN? ACTUAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE IF YOU GET I JUST DID 40 YEARS. UM BECAUSE OF HONDA CAME HERE IN 78. SO 1980 WAS WHERE I STARTED. AND THE FIRST THING I STARTED, THIS FIRST GROUPING IS IF YOU TAKE FROM COLUMBUS AND YOU GO OUT AND CONCENTRIC CIRCLES, MARYSVILLE IS ABOUT THE SAME DISTANCE FROM COLUMBUS AS DELAWARE NEWARK, LANCASTER CIRCLEVILLE IN LONDON. SO WHAT DID THEY LOOK LIKE? IN 1980? WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE? IN 2020? AND THEN THE 40 YEAR GROWTH RATE. THE 10 YEAR GROWTH RATE. SO YOU'LL SEE THAT 40 YEAR GROWTH RATE. WE'RE ACTUALLY AHEAD OF DELAWARE. BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THEY STARTED AT 7 18,080. BUT THE 10 YEAR GROWTH RATE THEY WERE HIGHER THAN WE WERE. YOU'RE THE NEXT COLUMN ALSO SHOWS YOUR INCOME TAX RATES AND THEN THE NEXT COLUMN IS DENSITY PER SQUARE MILE. THAT'S THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS PER SQUARE MILE. SO YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THERE ARE SOME GREEN AND SOME RED GREENS ARE GOING TO BE BETTER THAN MARYSVILLE. REDS ARE GOING TO BE WORSE THAN MARYSVILLE. AND THEN THERE'S A LOT OF BLACK JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE EVERY ONE OF THEM A DIFFERENT COLOR. UM BUT AS YOU'LL SEE DELAWARE IS DEFINITELY IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, GROWING MORE THAN WE ARE UM BUT IN THAT GROUP ABOUT THE SAME DISTANCE FROM COLUMBUS. OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS, WE HAVE GROWN MORE THAN OTHERS. IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE NEXT GROUPING. YOU'VE GOT MARIAN BELL FOUNTAIN OR BANISH

[01:05:09]

THEY'VE ONLY GATHERED 2400 PEOPLE. IN THE CITY OF BETTER OF BELL FOUNTAIN. IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE NEXT RUNG, THAT IS GONNA BE THE 2 70 LOOP. DUBLIN HILLIARD, WESTERVILLE OGINOHANA, REYNOLDSBURG PICK RINGTONE WHITEHALL GROVE CITY. AGAIN YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT THAT GROUPING IS GOING TO HAVE MUCH MORE GREEN. WHAT IS OCCURRING IN MARYSVILLE IS WHAT OCCURRED IN DUBLIN, HILLIARD. WESTERVILLE GEOGHAN 20 YEARS AGO AND WHAT'S GOING TO OCCUR IN MARION OR BANISH SPRINGFIELD? SYDNEY 20 YEARS FROM NOW IS WHAT IS OCCURRING AS MARYSVILLE CURRENTLY PROBABLY, UM LOT OF GREEN. DUBLIN YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT DUBLIN IN 1980 DUBLIN WAS 3800 AND 55 PEOPLE AND ACTUALLY IN 1979. THEY WERE 800 PEOPLE TODAY THERE 3 48,028. THEY'VE GONE UP 1154% WE'VE GONE UP 245. SO WE WERE DOUBLE THEIR SIZE IN 1980. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY DOUBLE OUR SIZE NOW. YOU CAN SEE THE SAME THING WITH HILLIARD BACK IN 1980 HILLIARD IN US. WE'RE BASICALLY THE SAME. THEY'RE 10,000 MORE THAN WE ARE NOW. WESTERVILLE WAS ALWAYS BIGGER, AND THEY'RE STILL BIGGER PICK RINGTONE. YOU KNOW THEY WERE LIKE A DUBLIN EXCEPT THEY GREW MUCH SLOWER. BUT THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE OFF NOW WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON IN THAT SIDE OF TOWN. THINK AND GROW CITY YOU CAN SEE, UH, GROWING PRETTY RAPIDLY. THEN I WENT TO SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES THAT WE, UM COMPARE OURSELVES TO WHEN WE DO CONTRACTS AND SALARY . UH, APPRAISALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO IF YOU SCROLL DOWN OH, NO, I'M SORRY I WENT TO WORTHINGTON, UPPER ARLINGTON AND GRAND VIEW WHO ARE ALL LANDLOCKED INSIDE OF THE BELT. INSIDE OF THE 2 70 BELT, AND AS YOU'LL SEE, ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THEM IS BASICALLY STAGNANT. UM THEY JUST THEY CAN'T GROW. THEY GOT NO NO AREA TO GROW. THEN I LOOKED AT, UM, THE BIG CITIES. COLUMBUS CLEVELAND, CINCINNATI TOLEDO, DAYTON, YOU'LL SEE THAT CLEVELAND, TOLEDO AND DAYTON ARE LOSING PEOPLE, AND SO DID CINCINNATI OVER A 40 YEAR PERIOD IN THE LAST 10 YEAR PERIOD, THEY ACTUALLY SAVED THEMSELVES A LITTLE BIT. WHAT ELSE IS GOING IN ON AND IN UNION COUNTY? RICHWOOD IS PRETTY STABLE. THEY HAVEN'T GROWN MUCH AT ALL. PLAIN CITY ACTUALLY DECREASED. EVERYBODY THOUGHT THAT PLANE CITY WAS GOING TO BE A CITY AT THE LAST CENSUS AND GO OVER 5000 PEOPLE THAT DID NOT OCCUR. THEY ACTUALLY LOST RESIDENTS. THE NEXT ARE JUST SOME OTHERS THAT GRANVILLE NEW ALBANY, FINDLAY, NEWARK. I WAS REALLY SURPRISED IN THE LAST 10 YEAR PERIOD. FINLEY ACTUALLY LOST RESIDENTS. NEW ALBANY IS GROWING, AND IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE WITH WHAT'S GOING ON WITH INTEL. I LOOKED AT IT. JUST A COUPLE OF OTHER CENTERVILLE KETTERING. MY MOTHER IN LAW HAPPENED TO HAVE LIVED IN BOTH OF THOSE PLACES NEAR DAYTON . SO I JUST PUT THOSE ON THERE BECAUSE I WAS INTERESTED. THEN THE BOTTOM IS OTHER CITIES THAT WE USE AS COMPARISONS AND YOU PROBABLY HAVE NOTICED. A LOT OF THE NAMES ON HERE ARE NAMES THAT WERE ON BILL LAFAYETTE'S GROWING STAGNANT OR DECLINING CITIES. SO AVON AVON LAKE. THEY'RE BOTH UP CLEVELAND AREA, ASHLAND IS ACTUALLY DECREASING. SO IS PIQUA. PERRYSBURG A SUBURB OF TOLEDO. OXFORD DOWN BY MIAMI ARE DOWN BY CINCINNATI TROY GREEN XENA IN THE LAST 10 YEARS

[01:10:11]

HOW IT NEGATIVELY IMPACTS OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM. THE NEXT TAB IS GOING TO BLOW THAT TO SMITHEREENS. REMEMBER THE RED AND REMEMBER THE GREEN. READ ARE THE ONES THAT ARE GROWING SLOWER THAN WE ARE. GREENER CITIES THAT ARE GROWING FASTER THAN WE ARE. IF YOU COULD HIT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM RANKINGS. SO THERE ARE 607 SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN OHIO. BASED ON THE STATE REPORT CARD.

THERE'S FIVE DIFFERENT AREAS. THEY RANK THEM. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A TON OF TIES, BECAUSE IF YOU MEET THREE OF THE FIVE YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN THE SAME GROUPING AS EVERYBODY ELSE.

MARYSVILLE IS RANKED 134. FAIRBANKS IS RANKED 1 34. DELAWARE IS A IS A CITY THAT IS GROWING FASTER THAN MARYSVILLE. THEY'RE RANKED 1 34. BUT IN DELAWARE, YOU'VE ALSO GOT THE OLDEN TANTE SCHOOL DISTRICT. THEY'RE RANKED NUMBER ONE IN THE STATE. YOU GOT BUCKEYE VALLEY, A SMALL RURAL COMMUNITY. THAT WE USED TO THINK WAS WAY OUT IN THE STICKS WHEN WE WERE OUT IN THE STICKS, 93RD AND BIG WALNUT 1 34. IF YOU GO DOWN, YOU SEE MARIAN OR BANANA SPRINGFIELD IN SYDNEY. SCHOOL DISTRICTS DON'T DO SO WELL. YOU GO TO DUBLIN THERE. 56 HILLIARD 1 34.

ACCRINGTON 93 GROVE CITY IS THE ONLY RED. AND THAT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE IN THE SOUTHWESTERN SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT IS NOT GROVE CITY ALONE THAT INCLUDES CENTRAL CROSSING AND SOME OTHER SCHOOLS. YOU LOOK AT WORTHINGTON, UPPER ARLINGTON IN GRANDVIEW. AS WE WOULD EXPECT.

THEN YOU LOOK AT THE MAJOR CITIES. THEY'RE ALL STRUGGLING. YOU LOOK AT RICHWOOD NORTH UNION 93RD. JONATHAN ALDER. AGAIN A DECLINING COMMUNITY. THEIR SCHOOL DISTRICT IS BEHIND US.

GRANVILLE NEW ALBANY, NUMBER ONE, FINLEY, ANOTHER RED CITY. READ FOR THEIR. SCHOOL DISTRICT . AVON, AVON LAKE ASHLYN. AS YOU CAN SEE EVERY COMMUNITY THAT IS GROWING THERE'S SCHOOL SYSTEM IS PERFORMING AS WELL OR BETTER THAN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. EVERY CITY THAT IS GROWING THAT IS DECLINING. THEIR SCHOOL SYSTEM PERFORMS WORSE THAN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM. IF YOU GO OVER TO THE COUNTY CENSUS. UM. 88 COUNTIES IN IN UNION COUNTY COUNTIES IN THE STATE. THERE ARE ONLY 33 COUNTIES THAT INCREASED IN POPULATION IN THE LAST CENSUS. 55 COUNTIES LOST POPULATION.

WHERE WERE THE ONES THAT GREW? CENTRAL OHIO'S 12 OF THEM. UM AND YOU WILL SEE THAT EVERYONE EXCEPT CHAMPAIGN COUNTY. UH UM, IN THE CENTRAL OHIO. IT WAS A POSITIVE MAYBE NOT A LOT. BUT DELAWARE OBVIOUSLY IS THE FASTEST GROWING COUNTY IN THE STATE. UNION COUNTY NUMBER. TWO THAT WAY FOR A MINUTE. IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR A MINUTE. YEAH. AND IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT BECAUSE LOOK AT DELAWARE IN 1980. THEY WERE TWICE THE SIZE. WE WERE THEY ARE NOW ALMOST FOUR TIMES THE SIZE. WE ARE. I KNOW THAT'S NOT EXACTLY CORRECT MATH, BUT WERE 3.5 TIMES THE SIZE AS WE ARE. UM YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE GROWN EXTREMELY RAPIDLY. UM YOU KNOW, PICKAWAY COUNTY LOOKING

[01:15:01]

INTERESTINGLY I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS RETIRED FROM THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. UM YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS AGO WE WENT TO TEXAS AND SOME OTHER PLACES AND HE HAS BEEN CALLED IN TO CONSULT WITH INTEL. AND WHEN HE CAME IN, THE FIRST THING HE DID WAS LOADED EVERYBODY UP AND DROVE THEM. THE MARYSVILLE AND SAID. YOUR COMMUNITY. LOOKS LIKE MARYSVILLE DID 40 YEARS AGO WHEN HONDA CAME HERE. THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE GONNA LOOK LIKE IN 40 YEARS. SO. JUST INTERESTING INFORMATION. DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS, BUT THOUGHT THAT IT WAS TIME TO ACTUALLY DELVE INTO THE CENSUS THAT, UH, WE WERE GIVEN A WHILE AGO. YEAH JUST JUST ONE COMMENT. YOU MADE THE STATEMENT THAT WHERE THE COMMUNITY GOES. SO GO THE SCHOOLS. BASICALLY YEAH. BEARING WHERE? THE SCHOOLS YEAH. YEAH COULD COULD VERY WELL YEAH, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT PERSONAL BIAS BUT YOU'RE STRENGTHEN YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT AND YOUR COMMUNITY WILL FOLLOW.

AND WE HAD PEOPLE BACK IN THE DAY YOU ACTUALLY CAME. TO MARYSVILLE BECAUSE OF CERTAIN PROGRAMMING. ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY. KLAY CERTAIN PROGRAMMING THAT INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITIES WOULD NOT HONOR AND THAT IN HONORING PROGRAMMING THAT SERVICES ARE STUDENTS. WE ARE BRINGING PEOPLE TO MARYSVILLE. YES WE ARE AGAIN. MAYBE I'M JUST ON THE OUTSKIRTS.

AND SOME OF THAT IS A HIGHER COST. TO EDUCATE STUDENT UM YOU KNOW? SO NOW THE MY POINT WAS.

THE SCHOOL SYSTEM SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID OF GROWTH BASED ON WHAT THOSE NUMBERS ARE. WHEN YOU GET INTO, YOU KNOW THERE'S ALL KINDS OF OTHER TOPICS AND DISCUSSIONS. UM, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THOSE SCHOOL SYSTEMS SPEND MORE MONEY THAN WE DO. SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY SPEND LESS THAN WE DO.

BUT EVERY COMMUNITY THAT HAS A GRILLING POPULATION IS AS GOOD OR BETTER SCHOOL SYSTEM. JUST JUST AS A QUESTION, THEN. WAS ANY CORRELATION MADE FOR THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE JUNIOR COLLEGES. OHIO STATE BRANCHES UNIVERSITIES ON THEIR OWN, UM. THAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT DOWN BECAUSE I WAS SO CONVINCED THAT'S OUR NEXT NEED IN MARYSVILLE. YEAH AND IT HAS BEEN FOR A WHILE. YOU KNOW, WE I KNOW THAT UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON USED TO COME OUT AND DO SO, UH, MASTERS PROGRAMS FOR THE SCHOOL . THE SCHOOL TEACHERS OTTERBEIN TRIED, UM, COLUMBUS STATE. TRY YEAH. YEAH I WOULD LOVE FOR US TO YOU KNOW, AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT DELAWARE OR OR BANANA OR.

ARLINGTON ARLINGTON. FINDLAY TIFFIN, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE ALL GOT UNIVERSITY. I MEAN, IT'S REALLY EASY FOR DELAWARE TO HAVE A THRIVING UPTOWN WHEN YOU'VE GOT 3000 STUDENTS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE THAT DON'T DRIVE A CAR. AND YOU KNOW THEY DON'T WANT TO STAY ON CAMPUS. I NEVER DID. BUT ONE OF HIS UP, I'M DONE. OKAY THANKS, JEFF. IT WAS THE NEXT TO THE PRESENTATION THAT HE DID.

AND THEN I AGREE. THANK YOU. VERY WELL DONE, ACTUALLY. I NEED TO SPEND SOME MORE TIME WITH JUST THAT FORWARD LOOKING AT ALL THE NUMBERS AND GREAT WORK. THANKS FOR SHARING THAT, UM COUPLE OF COMMENTS THAT I WANTED TO MAKE TONIGHT, DONALD, I WANT TO DO SAY YOUR STORY ABOUT YOUR GRANDMOTHER WAS BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL. DURING THIS ROUGH TIME. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

AND ALSO ANOTHER CALL HIM A FRIEND BY OHIO STATE REPRESENTATIVE CHRIS JORDAN'S LET'S GO. I WANT TO MENTION. EXPECTED AND IT'S VERY SAD PASSES MY THOUGHTS ALSO GOOD BAD. UM. TONIGHT I WANT TO SAY IT'S ALWAYS GREAT. I AM A YOUNG PERSON, SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE WHETHER IT'S THE SCOUTS SPORT. AS A DAY YOUNG PEOPLE COMING TO THESE MEETINGS. I DON'T BELIEVE

[01:20:04]

THE SCOUTS AND ADULTS HAVE CONTRIBUTED 2574 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE. TO UNION COUNTY IN CENTRAL OHIO, 218 HOURS AND 30 MINUTES OF THAT WAS CONSERVATION SERVICE HOURS. UM, BUILDING BAT BOXES, REMOVING INVASIVE SPECIES. UM, AND PROGRAMS SUCH AS THAT THE SCOUTS ALSO RECENTLY TOOK PLACE WITH THE CUBS. THE GENTLEMAN OF TRIP 101, WHO ARE OUR BROTHER? TRUE, BUT THERE ARE CHARTERED ORGANIZATION. AND THE CUBS HAVE PACKED ONE. OH, ONE. TOGETHER IN NOVEMBER. THEY SORTED AND COUNTED OVER 10,000 CHRISTMAS CARDS TO GO TO ALL INMATES IN THE STATE OF OHIO. THAT WAS A MESSENGERS OF PEACE AWARD, WHICH IS A SPECIAL AWARD THROUGH BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA. IT'S THIS REALLY COOL DOVE OR AND MY BOY SCOUT LOGO AND IT IS A PROJECT TO MAKE THE WORLD BETTER. UM A BETTER, MORE CARING PLACE, SO WE WERE EXCITED TO HAVE KIDS AS YOUNG AS KINDERGARTEN SINCE WE STARTED THE LIONS PROGRAM WITH THE CUB SCOUTS, BUT HAVING KIDS FROM LYING THROUGH EAGLE WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE IS REALLY A NEAT THING THAT WE GET TO DO WITH THEM. THE LADIES OF TROOPS. 777 HAVE ALSO CAMPED. OVER 806 NIGHTS. A MAJORITY OF THOSE NIGHTS IN BELOW FREEZING WEATHER, LADIES, WHAT IS OUR MOTTO? COLDER YEAH. 655 PROCESS POINTS AND YOU EARN ONE POINT FOR EVERY DEGREE BELOW FREEZING.
