[ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT]

IN OBSERVANCE OF LABOR DAY. AND I'D LIKE TO ASK MAYBE IF ERIC PHILLIPS COULD COME FORWARD REAL QUICK A LITTLE BIT. WE'VE HAD AH , AN ASSORTMENT OF ACTIVITIES OCCURRING PRIMARILY WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR FRIENDSHIP CITY IN YOUR AGE JAPAN AND WE THOUGHT WE'D UPDATE YOU A LITTLE BIT. NOT ONLY THAT WE HAD THE EXCHANGE STUDENTS HERE LAST WEEK . WE ALSO HAVE A JAPAN MISSION TRIP COMING UP THAT I WOULD LIKE FOR ERIC, TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A READER'S DIGEST VERSION OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO EXPECT WHEN WE MAKE THAT TRIP OVER THERE, AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER EVENT COMING UP. WHEN WE RETURN THAT I'LL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SO, ERIC. DO YOU MIND LETTING THEM KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM TO START YES. OH, THANK YOU, TERRY . AND THANKS EVERYONE TO SCHOOLS GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. WE HAD 10 STUDENTS AND THREE CHAPERONES AND AN INTERPRETER THAT THAT YURI HAD HIRED VISIT LAST WEEK.

UM THE 10 STUDENTS READ EIGHT GIRLS AND TWO BOYS THAT VISIT THE SCHOOLS AND WE ALSO TOOK HIM TO COAST SIDE TO THE ZOO. WE ALSO DIDN'T TOUR OF UPTOWN. WE BROUGHT HIM TO CITY HALL. THERE WERE A LOT OF ACTIVITIES THE ENTIRE WEEK SO THEY LEARNED REALLY A LOT ABOUT MARYSVILLE.

NONE OF THEM ALL 13 HAD EVER BEEN TO THE USA. SO THIS IS THE FIRST EXPERIENCE WHICH IS PRETTY REMARKABLE, UM, RICARDO'S SON, WHO IS THE PRINCIPAL, WE WILL MEET WITH HIM AND KROC SON, WHO HEADS UP THE PLANNING SECTION IN YOUR E WILL MEET WITH BOTH OF THEM. WHEN WE VISIT YOUR E HERE THIS NEXT WEEK, BUT AGAIN, UM WHAT WAS MOST REMARKABLE WAS WHEN THE STUDENTS GET UP FROM YOUR E THE FIRST THAT SATURDAY WHEN WE HAD THE WELCOME CEREMONY, HONDA HONDA HOSTED IT.

ENGLISH VERY NERVOUS, VERY SHY ABOUT ENGLISH. FAST FORWARD, YOU KNOW, SEVEN DAYS LATER ON THAT FRIDAY, THE FAREWELL SERMON WE HAD THE EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL VERY MUCH MORE CONFIDENT , MUCH BETTER AT THEIR ENGLISH AND PRETTY AMAZING AND THEY WERE REALLY TOUCHED. I THINK WHAT THEY'RE VISIT AS AS ALWAYS, A FEW OF THEM SAID I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME. I WANT TO STAY IN MARYSVILLE, WHICH WAS KIND OF ALWAYS GOOD TO HEAR WHEN YOU HEAR HEAR THAT SAID, BUT I THINK SOME OF OUR STUDENTS SAY THE SAME WHEN THEY VISIT YOUR E. IT'S A VERY VALUABLE EXPERIENCE, AND THE EXCHANGE IS SO IMPORTANT. THESE KIDS, THESE KIDS LIVES HAVE BEEN ENRICHED, AND I THINK THEY REALLY HAVE HIGHER ASPIRATIONS AS THEY GO FORWARD. ONE OF THE STUDENTS, ONE OF THE MEN OF THE BOY, STUDENTS SAID HE WANTS TO BE A TRANSLATOR WHEN HE GROWS UP AND HE WANTS TO LIVE IN THE USA TO HELP JAPANESE THAT COME TO VISIT THE USA. THAT'S HIS LIFE AND

[00:10:02]

THEN THE NEXT DAY, VISIT MORE YOUKU AS WELL. THEIR HEADQUARTERS IN TOKYO WILL THEN TRAVEL TO OSAKA VISIT WITH SUMITOMO WIRING AS WELL AS NIHON PLAST NEON PLACES. THE PARENT OF NEAT INC. WHICH IS BASED HERE IN MARYSVILLE. AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK TO TOKYO AND WE'LL WE'LL VISIT WITH HONDA HONDA IN JAPAN , HONDA LOGISTICS AND HONDA HEADQUARTERS AS WELL. AND WE'LL ALSO GO TO JETRO, WHICH IS THE JAPAN EXTERNAL TRADE ORGANIZATION TO MEET WITH COMPANIES LOOKING TO EXPAND IN THE USA, SO WE'LL MEET WITH A NUMBER OF JAPANESE COMPANIES AS WELL. SO A LOT ON THE PLATE IN 11 DAYS A LOT OF PRETTY THINGS PACKED TOGETHER, BUT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE TRIP AND VISITING JAPAN. IT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT HOT AND HUMID THERE.

WE'LL LIVE THROUGH IT, BUT BUT WE'LL ENJOY THE TRIP AS WELL. ERIC WILL PEOPLE BE ABLE TO KIND OF FOLLOW OUR TRIP A LITTLE BIT ON FACEBOOK OR SOMETHING? IF THAT WILL BE POSTING SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES, SO WE DID A JOURNAL LAST WEEK DURING THE STUDENT VISIT, WE WILL ALSO HAVE A JOURNAL ON FACEBOOK. IT'S A MARYSVILLE YURI FRIENDSHIP, YOU KNOW, RELATIONSHIP. YOU LOOK IT UP ON FACEBOOK EMAIL ME. I CAN SEND YOU THE LINK TO THAT AS WELL AND YOU CAN BECOME OR YOU COULD LIKE IT AND LEARN OR SEE WHAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING IN JAPAN, BUT WE WILL ACTUALLY JOURNALIST THAT AS WE GO ALONG, KEEP IN MIND THAT WERE 13 HOURS AHEAD IN YOUR EAST, SO THERE'S GOING TO BE WEIRD POST REALLY EARLY IN THE MORNING OR LATE AT NIGHT THAT YOU DON'T EXPECT BUT AGAIN, IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT TIME WHEN YOU'RE OVER THERE AS WELL. OKAY I'M GONNA SHIFT ONE MORE TIME. AND YOU KNOW WHEN WE RETURN, UM THEN FROM SEPTEMBER 19 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 24TH. THERE WILL BE AN EVENT COMING TO COLUMBUS CALLED THE GRASSROOTS SUMMIT. MHM AND CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT? WHAT WHAT PEOPLE CAN EXPECT AND HOW HOW MARYSVILLE IS INVOLVED IN THAT ACTIVITY AS WELL. WELL MARY MARYSVILLE SHINING IN THIS WE HAVE EIGHT HOST FAMILIES. NOW WE HAVE $9 JAPANESE AND THE GRASSROOTS. SOME. IT'S BASICALLY WHERE, UH, ADULTS TO GO BACK AND WE GO TO JAPAN AND COME BACK TO US SINCE BASICALLY LEARNING ABOUT THE CULTURES FROM A ADULT PERSPECTIVE, SO IT'S AN ADULT EXCHANGE. WE HAVE 100 JAPANESE COMING FROM JAPAN. WE HAVE NINE OF THE JAPANESE WILL BE STAYING WITH EIGHT FAMILIES HERE IN MARYSVILLE WILL BE AN OPEN CEREMONY AND CLOSING CEREMONY THE COME TO MARYSVILLE FOR 2.5 DAYS WILL SHOW THEM AROUND UPTOWN. WE'LL SHOW HIM ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. TAKE HIM ON A TOUR OF MORE YOUKU TAKE HIM TO. I THINK VINNY'S PIZZA. OF COURSE, THAT'S A TRADITION WILL ALSO BE GOING TO LEON SO THAT WOULD BE EXPERIENCING A LOT OF THE LOCAL FOODS AS WELL. UM AND, UM, BUT IT'S ABOUT A WEEK LONG, ALMOST WEEK, FIVE DAYS, THERE'S A WELCOME CEREMONY OR A WELCOME CEREMONY AND FAREWELL SERMON THAT MAYOR MAYOR BURBEY WILL ACTUALLY BE ATTENDING. SO IT'S A GREAT EXPERIENCE. I ALSO PUT ON YOUR ACCOUNT IS THIS IS VERY BUSY MONTH FROM JAPAN CULTURE RELATIONSHIP STANDPOINT. NEXT YEAR, COLUMBUS WILL HOST THE MIDWEST. US JAPAN CONFERENCE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ABOUT 20 PLAY OHIO FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 20, PLUS YEARS. IT WILL BE IN COLUMBUS, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE PART OF THAT, AND THAT WILL BE IN SEPTEMBER OF NEXT YEAR. AND THAT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK FOR. SO NEXT YEAR WILL BE A BIG YEAR WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JAPAN AS WELL. WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE EVERYBODY AWARE, PRIMARILY USE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT I WANT TO THANK ERIC FOR A LOT OF THE WORK THAT COMES OUT OF HIS OFFICE DURING THIS TIME ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE THEY HAVE GOING ON, AND WE'LL OBVIOUSLY BE ANXIOUS TO REPORT BACK ON SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT WE'RE

[00:15:07]

THAT ACTUALLY PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT HERE IN UNION COUNTY AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY WORKING FOR JAPANESE FIRMS? YES SO, UM, IN OUR COMMUNITY, WE HAVE 22 JAPANESE COMPANIES AND, UH, A LOT OF WHICH ARE MAYORS WILL SUMMON THE COUNTY SO THEY'RE 22 TOTAL OF THAT ABOUT 7000 PEOPLE , WHICH IS 20% OF THE JOBS AND YOU NEED UNION COUNTY AS A WHOLE. THAT'S WHERE THE DATA LOOKS AT ABOUT 7000 PEOPLE ARE EMPLOYED BY JAPANESE OWN COMPANIES, WHICH IS PRETTY REMARKABLE WHEN YOU THINK OF IT ALL THAT'S HARD, OF COURSE, BUT A LOT OF THE SUPPLIER NETWORK, SO I HAVE A HIGH RELIANCE ON THE JAPANESE COMPANIES IN THERE AND THE JOBS THEY PROVIDE TO US. UM, SO THAT'S PROBABLY THE STATURE LOOKING AT YOU HAVE A SECOND QUESTION THAT HATED I FORGET. UM AND THAT DOES INCLUDE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT WORK AT HONDA OR THAT'S ON TOP OF IT HAS TO WANT OKAY, BUT THAT'S MORE THAN 7500 PEOPLE THAT THAT HAVE EMPLOYMENT FOR JAPANESE COMPANIES. 20% OF OUR THE JOBS AND YOU IN UNION COUNTY PROVIDED BY JAPANESE COMPANIES, WHICH IS JUST A REMARKABLE IN FACT. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THE OTHER QUESTIONS. THAT LINE. OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANKS ERIC. AND WITH THAT ALL SHIFT OVER TO JEREMY TO GIVE US SOME MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS UPDATES. THANK YOU, TERRY. OUR STREETS DIVISION CONTINUES DIVORCE ON THE UPTOWN CROSSWALKS RIGHT NOW THEY'RE NEARING COMPLETION. SO WE'RE GONNA WAIT AND HOLD TO SEE HOW WELL THOSE REPAIRS TAKE, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE WINNERS THAT WERE ACCUSTOMED TO SCENE. OUR PARKS DIVISION.

THEY'RE WORKING ON SEVERAL LANDSCAPED BEDS AT THE PARK SIGNS AND THEN WE'VE ALSO GOT AN EAGLE SCOUT ASSISTING US AS PART OF THEIR PROJECT WITH THE NEW LANDSCAPE BED AT THE ENTRANCE.

EVENTS WISE, UM. WE HOSTED THE HONDA AND HOUNDS EVENT AT THE PARK PARK ON SUNDAY OR YESTERDAY AND HAD GREAT WEATHER WHICH USUALLY LEADS TO A GREAT TURNOUT, SO THAT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS A SUCCESS. UM WATER DIVISION . WE'VE GOT A CONTRACTOR PERFORMING THE CITYWIDE LEAK SURVEY THIS WEEK. AND THEN FINALLY, UH FROM OUR WASTEWATER DIVISION OR ANNUAL SEWER LINING PROJECT, WHICH IS PREDOMINANTLY LOCATED BETWEEN WEST FOURTH, AND HIS STREETS BEGINS THIS WEEK.

HE'S OUR WASTEWATER SUPERINTENDENT. AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER, AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE'VE GOT INTERVIEWS FOR THE NEW WASTEWATER SUPERINTENDENT SCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY. SO THIS WILL BE SOME SOME BIG SHOES TO FILL. BUT HOPEFULLY WITH HRS. HELP WILL BE ABLE TO FIND SOMEBODY THAT CAN FILL THAT ROLE NOW ALTERNATE OVER TO KYLE FOR SOME UPDATES ON OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS. THANKS JEREMY, THE STATE ROUTE 31 CREEK AROUND ABOUT PROJECT CONTINUES TO GO ON SCHEDULE. UH I BELIEVE THEY ACTUALLY INSTALLED SOME CURB EITHER LATE LAST WEEK OR EVEN TODAY. UM THAT'S JUST FOR PHASE ONE. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT PHASE TWO. THEY'RE LOOKING TO SWITCH OVER TO THE PHASE TWO, PROBABLY MID SEPTEMBER TO THE THIRD WEEK OF SEPTEMBER. SO THAT'S ROLLING ALONG NICELY. THE ELMWOOD AVENUE ROADWAY RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT CONTINUES STORM WORK AND CONCRETE WORK. UM, THAT WELL, WHAT HAPPENED AND WILL STILL REMAIN CLOSED DURING THE DURATION OF THE PROJECT. THE RESERVOIR CONNECTOR BRIDGE PROJECT, UM MOST OF THE BRIDGE WORK AND THE BOARDWALK WORK IS COMPLETE. SORRY CONTRACTOR HAS SHIFTED OVER TO THE SHARED NEWS PATH EXTENSIONS TO CONNECT TO OUR EXISTING TRAIL NETWORK. UM AND THEN THE ADJACENT PARKING LOT PROJECT NEXT TO CITY HALL BEING BEGAN LAST WEEK. WE'RE HOPING TO WRAP THAT PROJECT UP BY THE END OF OCTOBER, SO I KNOW THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF INCONVENIENCE SHOWING UP FOR COUNCIL MEETINGS WITH A LITTLE BIT LESS PARKING, BUT WE'LL GET THROUGH IT AND BE DONE WITH THAT PROJECT BY THE END OF OCTOBER. AND THEN THE LAST UPDATE IS FOR OUR PAVING PROGRAM. WE'RE HOPING TO START PAVING ACTIVITIES IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR THAT, SO WE DON'T HAVE A DEFINITIVE DATE, BUT IT SHOULD BE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

SO IS THERE ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE HEARD TONIGHT? OKAY HERE. NONE

[Ord. A]

[00:25:03]

REZONING CONSIDERATION WENT TO PLANNING COMMISSION FIRST CORRECT PLANNING COMMISSION.

MADE REVIEWED ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE PRESENTED BY BARD, ET CETERA. AND THEIR CONCLUSION WAS THAT THAT THIS SITE IS SUITABLE FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM THE DENSITY, THE CURRENT DENSITY TO AN INCREASED INTENSITY. WHENEVER THERE'S A ZONING CHANGE. IT COMES TO CITY COUNCIL. SO THAT'S THE ONLY REASON WE'RE SEEING IT. IF IT WAS A STANDARD, UH SUBDIVISION.

IT WOULDN'T HAVE COME TO THE COUNCIL. BUT IT'S NOW UP TO US TO ASSESS THEIR OPINION AND SEE IF AND SEE IF OUR VIEWS ARE ARE SIMILAR TO THEIRS. SO THAT'S WHAT TONIGHT'S ABOUT IS ABOUT.

IT'S ABOUT THE DENSITY OF THE LAND. IT'S ABOUT THE CHANGE IN IN, UH UM, IT'S CURRENT USE. TO THE FUTURE USE TO A TO A POSSIBLE FUTURE USE AND ANYTHING THAT COULD GO THERE IN THE FUTURE WOULD CONFORM TO THE MOST OR TO WHAT WE AGREED TO AS THE APPROVED USE. OKAY THAT'S SUFFICIENT CLARITY OR IF ANYBODY WANTS TO ADD MORE TO THAT, THAT SUMMARIZES OF WHAT WE'RE VOTING FOR. THE ONLY THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD, IS THERE'S SO MUCH CONVERSATION LIKE YOU HEAR WHEN RESIDENTS SAY WELL, WHY IS COUNCIL VOTING ON THIS ISSUE AND NOT THIS DEVELOPMENT OR THIS DEVELOPMENT? THAT'S THE REASON SO NOT EVERYTHING THAT'S BUILT IN MARYSVILLE, OR DEVELOPMENTS ARE BUILT. COME IN FRONT OF US. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE PLANNING COMMISSION. SO IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THINGS ARE BEING DEVELOPED OR OR DIFFERENT THINGS. YOU KNOW, PLANNING COMMISSION DECIDES WHAT GOES THEIR DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DECIDES ON HOW IT LOOKS. SO IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS, THOSE ARE THE BOARDS YOU GO TO. AND IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE NOT BEING HEARD, THEN YOU COME TO COUNCIL. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT ALAN WAS JUST SAYING. THAT'S WHY THIS DEVELOPMENT CAME TO ASK. AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVEN'T HEARD OTHER DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PAST.

SO IF YOU'RE ON IF YOU'RE ON FACEBOOK, AND YOU WANT TO EDUCATE OUR SOCIETY, THAT'S WHAT YOU TELL THEM GUYS, SO WE DON'T HEAR EVERYTHING OK? ANY ANY FURTHER COMMENTS? OKAY UM SO. UM ABSOLUTELY, IF SOMEBODY MAKES A MOTION AGAINST SOME SOMEBODY WILL IT WILL REQUIRE FOUR VOTES IN FAVOR TO PASS. SO THAT IS WHAT IT IS TONIGHT. SO I TAKE A MOTION MGM THE BEST TO LEGISLATION. I WILL MOVE TO APPROVE THIS ZONING CHANGE RECOMMENDATION. OKAY ALREADY, MR SEYMOUR. IT MAKES THE MOTION LOCAL, PLEASE, MRS GROAT? NO MR BERGER, MISTER BURBEY, MR. CARPENTER NO, MR SEYMOUR. OKAY. MOTION. CAROL. AND AGAIN THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR MAKING DEMOCRACY WORK. AND TONIGHT IS YOUR ANSWER. SO OKAY, MOVING FORWARD. WE HAVE OTHER ITEMS

THAT COME INTO THE JED THAT ARE THAT OCCUR IN THE JEROME TOWNSHIP AREA, AND SO WHAT'S GOING TO OCCUR WITH THAT 1.5% INCOME THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THOSE BUSINESSES IS 60% OF THOSE FUNDS WILL GO INTO INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS SPECIFICALLY IN THE JET AREA THAT IS CONTROLLED BY A JET BOARD. 20% GOES TO DRUM TOWNSHIP IN 20% COMES TO THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE, AND SO EACH ENTITY THEN CAN DECIDE SPECIFICALLY HOW THEY WANT TO UTILIZE THEIR FUNDS . IN A LOT OF CASES, DROME OBVIOUSLY WILL PUT THEIR FUNDS RIGHT INTO THE JET AREA BECAUSE IT'S THEIR AREA THAT'S DEVELOPING. IN OUR CASE, WE CAN ASSESS THINGS. BUT IT BEHOOVES US A LOT OF TIMES TO PUT THESE FUNDS INTO THE JET AREA AS WELL TO HELP GROW THE INFRASTRUCTURE THERE BECAUSE WE BENEFIT FROM THE WATER AND SEWER SERVICES THAT WE'VE PUT IN TO JEROME TOWNSHIP. IT'S AN AWESOME THING , AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S DONE IN OTHER AREAS AROUND THE STATE , AND IT'S REALLY GOING TO BE, UM IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY GOOD TO US ONCE THIS JET GETS OPERATING WHAT HOW MANY BUSINESSES DO WE HAVE IN IT RIGHT NOW? ERIC WE HAVE FIVE.

SORRY I THINK WE HAVE FIVE PROPERTIES CURRENTLY, OKAY, JUST BUSINESSES, OR IS IT GOING DOWN INDUSTRIAL? IT'S JUST BUSINESSES . NEW BUSINESSES COMMERCIAL. SO NO RESIDENTIAL, IT'S JUST NEW COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES. KATHY CRIMINALS SCHOOL, YOU'RE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THE CRIMINALS ORGANIZATION. IT'S A CHILD, AND I WAS IMPRESSED HOW STRATEGICALLY THEY HAVE PLACED THEIR NEW LOCATION, AND IT'S JUST ON THE SOUTH SIDE. IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THE OF WEALTH 42 SO YOU CAN MARK UP 33. GO TO DELAWARE AND THEN ABOUT 56 MILES IN THAT'S WHY I PAY MODELS WILL HAVE ITS LOCATION. IT CURRENTLY HAS ONE IN NEAR COLUMBUS IN HILLIARD, ONE IN MARYSVILLE, AND THIS WILL BE THE THIRD LOCATION SO VERY STRATEGICALLY FOR THEM TO PLACE THE TERRY AND WANTING TO BE PART OF THE JET ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE THEM WITH WATER AND SUGAR. IF THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE PART OF THE JET, THEN WE COULD NOT PROVIDE THEM WITH WATER AND SURE, SO THEY ARE GOING TO BE OUT THERE. AND THEN, OF COURSE, UM, UM AMAZON IS GOING TO BE ON THE WEST SIDE OF INDUSTRIAL PARAGUAY. THEY HAVE A FAIRLY LARGE LOT OUT THERE AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON THE SO CALLED CLOUD. THERE'S STORAGE AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE ON THE WEST SIDE AND STILL SUPPORT THEMSELVES ON 42, BUT THERE WILL BE ON THE WEST SIDE WITH THEIR LOCATION. I WAS JUST CONCERNED BECAUSE MY JOB SURE TO COLLECT FROM RESIDENTS IF THEY DON'T PAY , BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S THE EMPLOYER'S RESPONSIBILITY, SO THAT'S CORRECT AND AGAIN, AS A STUDY SAID WITHOUT IT. YEAH I'M JEROME WOULD ONLY RECEIVE MONEY FROM THE REAL ESTATE TAX THAT THEY COULD CHARGE. NOW THEY HAVE AN EXTRA METHOD OF COLLECTING TAX MONEY TO BUILD TO CONTINUE TO BUILD THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND MARYSVILLE IS PART OF THAT THROUGH THE THROUGH THE JET THAT WE HAVE SET UP WITH JEROME TOWNSHIP. OKAY BUSINESS AND GROWTH THINGS FOR GROWTH. YES IT IS GOOD. IT IS GOOD FOR BOTH. IN ADDITION TO THAT, IT DOES ALSO, UM AND HELP HELPS US IN IN PERVADING THE WATER AND SEWER SERVICES TO THAT AREA AS WELL. OKAY? RIGHT SO HE DIDN'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT, BUT NO, THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT VERY, VERY GOOD, SO ANY OTHER CITIZENS THAT HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE WITH JEROME IN NINE DAYS WILL BE BACK WITH THIRD READING TITLE ONLY ON SEPTEMBER 11TH.

[Ord. I]

[00:40:03]

CONFUSION. SO THIS IS FOR THE PROJECT GROW THE SCOTS DISTRIBUTION FACILITY. THE TIFF REVENUES ARE SECURING THIS DEBT. THIS UH UM THE COUNTY ENGINEERS REQUESTED THAT THE FUNDS FOR THE TURN LANE BE DEPOSITED IN OR AROUND OCTOBER, 1ST IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THAT WE NEED THE 30 DAY PERIOD THAT IS OTHERWISE IMPOSED ON LEGISLATION TO BE WAIVED IN ORDER FOR US TO PRICE THIS DEBT AND GET IT SOLD PRIOR TO THE END OF SEPTEMBER. THEY WOULD ACTUALLY LIKE TO DO THE PRICING ON SEPTEMBER 6TH MHM SO IF COUNSEL WOULD AMEND THE LEGISLATION TONIGHT TO ADD THE EMERGENCY CLAUSE, WHICH IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, FIVE CAN DO THAT. SO YOU WOULD ALL HAVE TO AGREE TO THAT. THEN IT WOULD GO BACK TO SECOND READING. AND AT THE WORK SESSION ON SEPTEMBER 5TH. YOU WOULD HAVE THE THIRD READING TO APPROVE IT. WHERE HOPEFULLY ONCE AGAIN IT WOULD BE APPROVED AND THEN THE VERY NEXT DAY, WE WILL DO THE PRICING ON THIS. SO THAT'S THE PROCESS THAT WE NEED TO DO TODAY. I WILL ADMIT, OBVIOUSLY, IF THERE WAS AT LEAST SIX OF YOU TODAY, I WOULD BE ASKING TO DO ALL OF THIS TODAY. MHM PUSHED TO THE FIFTH. OKAY SO THIS POINT YOU WOULD LIKE FOR US TO AMEND THIS AND ADD THE EMERGENCY CLASS TO IT FOR TONIGHT, THEN. SO WE NEED . MR PRESIDENT. WE NEED TO MOTIONS. ONE MOTION TO MAKE THE AMENDMENT TO INCLUDE THE EMERGENCY CLAUSE AND THEN A VOTE ON EMERGENCY CLAUSE. AND THEN TWO. YES, OKAY. ALRIGHT SO IF YOU CAN MAKE THAT MOTION MOVE TO AMEND THE LEGISLATION TO INCLUDE THE EMERGENCY CLAUSE. OKAY? HMM AND LOCAL POLICE. MR BERGER? YES MR BURBEY? YES MR CARPENTER? YES MR SEYMOUR. MRS GROWTH, OKAY.

AND THEN I NEED A MOTION TO, UM INCLUDE THE EMERGENCY CAUSE THE EMERGENCY CLAUSE. OKAY, MRS COAT. MR BURBEY? YES MR CARPENTER? YES MR SEYMOUR. MRS GROAT? YES MR BERGER? YES OKAY, SO NOW WE CAN GO TO, UM, THE WHO, UM. SINCE IT IS NOW A SECONDARY THING NO PUBLIC HEARING CITIZENS COMMENTS ANYBODY. HAS ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT WE JUST DID. OKAY HEY, NONE THEN. YES, GO AHEAD, JOHN. JOHN MARSHALL 12 11 WOULD LINE DRIVE. UM I'M JUST GOING TO RENEW AN OBJECTION ABOUT DOING THESE AT WORK SESSIONS, UM, WITH EMERGENCY CAUSES AND SO FORTH. I JUST DON'T LIKE THE LOOK AS FAR AS BEING NOT FULLY OUT IN THE OPEN.

I UNDERSTAND IT'S PUBLIC MEETING AND UNDERSTANDS AVAILABLE, BUT I REALLY WISH YOU GUYS WOULD KEEP THESE REGULARLY SCHEDULED COUNCIL MEETINGS TO DO THIS. I UNDERSTAND THE FINANCIAL NECESSITIES AND SO FORTH. BUT AGAIN, JUST RENEW MY OBJECTION TO SEEING SOMETHING LIKE THIS DONE AT THE WORK SESSION. THANK YOU. OKAY YOUR OBJECTION IS FULLY NOTED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY NOW IT WILL BE BACK FOR THIRD READING TITLE ONLY ON SEPTEMBER, THE FIFTH OKAY, THAT THEY SCALE UP ALL OF THE ORDINANCE FOR TONIGHT , UM, COMMENTS OF CHILE MANAGER

[COMMENTS OF THE CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL PERSONS AND GENERAL DISCUSSION]

[00:45:01]

UM THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU DO ASSOCIATED WITH THAT AND SAFE TRAVELS TO YOU. LAST THING I'LL SAY IS JR SIX. SO I WISH HIM WELL, I HOPE HE GETS BETTER SOON. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ONE MORE THING. I'M SORRY. JUST THANK YOU TO THE PUBLIC WHO SHOWED UP TONIGHT, BUT MANY OF WHICH HAVE LEFT ALREADY, BUT YOUR INPUT IS APPRECIATED, ESPECIALLY DURING THE SECOND READING. IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE FOLKS ARE STARTING TO UNDERSTAND. WHEN AND HOW TO MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD, AND I JUST APPRECIATE ALL OF THAT THAT GOES ON AT THE AT THE CIVIC LEVEL.

LIKE YOU HAVE YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD AND YOU EXERCISE THIS RIGHT? SO I APPRECIATE IT. AND I HEAR YOU AND HOPEFULLY YOU'RE SATISFIED WITH THE DECISION THAT WE MADE TONIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY, MR SEYMOUR. UM ON THE YOUR YOUR CITY. EVERYBODY HEARD ERIC AND TERRY. UM, EXPLAIN THAT TRIP. AND IT'S THE 10 YEAR RELATIONSHIP. AS WITH THE SISTER CITY, AND THAT AND THAT RELATIONSHIP UM, SOLIDIFIES AND FURTHER ENHANCES. EXCUSE ME. THE BUSINESS IS THE JAPANESE BUSINESSES THAT ARE ALREADY HERE . IT'S KIND OF AN ACCOLADES TO THEM FOR BEING HERE. AND IT CONTINUES TO BUILD ON THAT RELATIONSHIP AND ALSO PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE EVEN MORE RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER BUSINESSES TO KEEP OUR LOCAL ECONOMY STRONG, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THOSE BUSINESSES DO FOR US , SO THERE'S A LOT OF VALUE IN HAVING A SISTER CITY IN JAPAN AND, UH AND I THINK WE DO A GREAT JOB IN MAKING SURE THAT STAYS SOLID. IF I MAY, MR PRESIDENT, HE HIS POINT IS WELL TAKEN ONE OF OUR MEETINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IN DURING OUR TIME THERE IS WITH SEVERAL JAPANESE COMPANIES THAT ARE LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES HERE IN THE U. S SO WHAT A BETTER WAY FOR US TO POSITION OURSELVES A LITTLE BIT TALKING ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIPS ALREADY WITH OVER 20 COMPANIES LOCATED HERE IN MARYSVILLE AND UNION COUNTY, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT WE CAN COUNT EVEN OUR MARYSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, HAVING THE LARGEST JAPANESE LANGUAGE PROGRAM IN THE STATE OF OHIO, SO YOU KNOW THEY COULD COME HERE AND FEEL WELL AT HOME IF THEY DECIDE TO BRING THEIR BUSINESS TO MARYSVILLE, SO JUST TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THAT RELATIONSHIP AND THE PURPOSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S FOR THE PURPOSE OF KEEPING OUR LOCAL ECONOMY STRONG. AND CONTINUING TO BUILD ON IT, AND THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT . SO ANYWAY, THOSE ARE MY THOUGHTS ON THAT. AND THE OTHER ONE IS I DON'T THINK WE'LL SEE YOU BEFORE LABOR DAY. SO ENJOY THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND, EVERYBODY ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MRS COAT. EXCUSE ME FOR TAKING A COUPLE OF MINUTES OF YOUR TIME. TWO ISSUES HAVE RECENTLY ARISEN , WHICH HAVE ATTRACTED MY ATTENTION. NUMBER ONE LOCAL ELECTIONS AND REFERENDUMS ARE BEING HELD BY OUR UNION COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS ON THE SEVENTH OF NOVEMBER. 2023 ACCORDING TO THE MARYSVILLE CODIFIED ORDINANCE, 11 43.10, WHICH I HELPED WRITE WHEN I CHAIRED THE PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE, AND I QUOTE THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE PREFERS THAT POLITICAL SIGNS REGARDING CANDIDATES OR ISSUES THAT WILL APPEAR ON THE BALLOT NOT BE POSTED. MORE THAN 10 DAYS FROM THE FIRST DATE OF ABSENTEE VOTING. ABSENTEE VOTING FOR THIS ELECTION BEGINS THE 11TH OF OCTOBER SO MARYSVILLE CAN EXPECT TO SEE A CROP OF APPROPRIATE POLITICAL SIGNAGE SPROUTING ON THE FIRST DAY OF OCTOBER. ANY POLITICAL SIGNAGE POSTED BEFORE THAT DAY. AS I HAVE ALREADY SEEN. DEMONSTRATES THE PROPONENTS OR CANDIDATES IGNORANCE. OF THE SUGGESTION OR A BLATANT DISRESPECT. FOR THE ORDINANCES OF OUR CITY. 0.2.

BUDGET TIME IS BEGINNING NOW, AND I'M PROUD THAT MARYSVILLE WILL PRESENT A BALANCED BUDGET

[00:50:01]

RATHER THAN AS A FREE ATTRACTION. AND IT IS TIME FOR CITY COUNCIL. TO COMMIT OR REJECT AS A GROUP. PUBLICLY AND VOCALLY TO THE FINANCIAL INVESTMENT. THE PEOPLE OF MARYSVILLE PLAN TO MAKE TO THE FURTHER SUPPORT OF E V VEHICLES. THANKS. OKAY, MR PRESIDENT. I THINK IT WOULD BE PRUDENT ON OUR PART BECAUSE WE HEARD JEFF REED WITH HONDA SPEAK LAST WEEK TO THE, UM WHERE THE LOGAN AND UNION COUNTY UM, BUSINESS IMPACT BREAKFAST. AND THERE WAS ABOUT 100 PEOPLE THERE AND HONDA. TALKED IN. JEFFREY TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FUTURE PLANS RIGHT HERE. IN OUR AREA, AND HE EVEN SPOKE TO SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT DEB SPEAKING IT MIGHT BEHOOVE US TO INVITE JEFF TO AN UPCOMING WORK SESSION JUST TO GIVE MAYBE 15 20 MINUTE PRESENTATION, WHICH IT MAY NOT CHANGE, DEBS VIEW ENDEAVOR. I'M NOT SITTING HERE TRYING TO TRYING TO CHANGE, BUT I THINK IT GIVES A GOOD OPPORTUNITY. TO SEE WHAT'S SOMEONE JUST LIKE HONDA, WHO OPERATES RIGHT HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY, WHAT THEIR PERCEPTION OF WHAT COMMUNITY SHOULD BE DOING IN PREPARATION OF THE V SO HEY, HEY. DEFINITELY WOULD AGREE WITH YOU, UM NOT ONLY AFTER THAT MEETING, BUT PREVIOUSLY I HAVE STATED BEFORE THAT ELECTRIC VEHICLES. I THINK IT'S A REALITY, YOU KNOW? UM HISTORY SOMETIMES SEEM TO REPEAT ITSELF AND I CAN JUST IMAGINE IF WE WOULD ALL GO BACK TO 19 07 AND HENRY FORD CAME WITH HIS MODEL T AND PEOPLE THAT WERE RIDING WITH
