[ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT]

ACTUALLY THE EXTRA MAYBE 2500 MILES ON OCCASION WHERE HE GETS IN AN AIRPLANE TO JUST ONE MORE TIME. FIGHT FOR A DEAL THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET IN MOST OF THE TIME WE WIN, SO THANK YOU, JP. UH KENNY, THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION TO BE HERE TODAY. I WITH A GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE PART OF THE TEAM, CENTRAL OHIO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORT. THAT'S WHO ALL OF YOU.

ARE YOU ALL PLAY SOME ROLE IN THAT. AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN TALK TODAY A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOUR GAME PLAN IS FOR THE FUTURE AND HOW YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IT. I'M GOING TO SHARE A FEW THOUGHTS ABOUT HOW I THINK ABOUT IT DOESN'T MEAN I'M RIGHT. JUST MEANS THAT I YOU KNOW, I BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL FIND THESE THESE THESE THOUGHTS OF VALUE? UM, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT YOU TO CELEBRATE SUCCESS, RIGHT? OKAY. JUST SMILE. IF YOU'VE GOT A PERSON SITTING NEXT TO YOU, PAT HIM ON BACK. IT'S A GOOD JOB. ALL RIGHT. GIVE HIM AN ATTA BOY.

RIGHT BECAUSE YOU SAW JP STUFF. LIKE YOU'RE YOU'RE WINNING. THIS IS WHAT WINNING FEELS LIKE YOU SHOULD CELEBRATE. THE FACT THAT YOU'RE WINNING. I TRAVEL AROUND THE STATE. EVERYBODY HATES YOU.

BECAUSE THEY WANT WHAT YOU'VE GOT. IF ANY OF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU GOT ALL THIS GROWTH GOING ON, BELIEVE ME, THERE'S YOU KNOW, LIKE 80 OTHER COUNTIES THAT WANT WHAT YOU HAVE. AND THERE ARE NEWSPAPER COLUMNS WRITTEN ABOUT HOW YOU'RE ALSO SUCCESSFUL AND, UH, REALLY? IT'S BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT YOUR ACT TOGETHER. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SUCCESSFUL. WE HELP BUT YOU HAVE TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. AND YOU SHOULD FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT. UM, YOU KNOW ABOUT IT. VERY WELL. INTEL. DATA CENTERS. NOW THAT AI IS COMING BY THE WAY, WE'RE LIKE, ONE YEAR ONE YEAR AGO, CHAT GPT CAME ALONG, AND NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HEY, I THIS AND A I THAT BUT DATA CENTERS DO ALL THE PROCESSING. IN YOUR PART OF THE HEART OF THE FUTURE OF INNOVATION IN THAT WAY. HEALTHCARE EVERYTHING FROM PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES TO GREAT INNOVATIONS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE INNOVATION DISTRICT. I KNOW THAT THAT SOME OF THE THINGS ARE GOING ON THERE WITH THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY AND NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S ARE GOING TO LEAD TO SOME AMAZING THINGS HERE IN THE FUTURE. FOR CENTRAL OHIO. THEY HAVE ALREADY YOU GOTTA LOGISTICS SYSTEM. IF YOU'RE GONNA MAKE THINGS WHICH WE DO IN OHIO, YOU GOTTA MOVE THEM AND YOU'RE DOING GREAT WITH THAT. UM AND MANUFACTURING AND ENTREPRENEURS. LET'S NEVER FORGET THAT WE TALKED ABOUT LANDING THESE BIG THINGS, BUT OUR ENTREPRENEURIAL CULTURE IS ESSENTIAL TO BUILDING EVERYTHING FROM SUPPLY CHAIN INNOVATION TO BREAKING THE RULES AND DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY AND DEVELOPING HOMEGROWN BUSINESSES, WHICH ARE THE BEST KINDS OF BUSINESSES. WOULD BE GREAT IF WE HAD A LOT MORE CARDINAL HELLS AND COVER MY MEDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT ARE HOMEGROWN. KIND OF HUGE BUSINESSES THAT THEY'VE BECOME. AND YOU'VE GOT

[00:10:07]

DON'T GROAN. JUST SUCK IT UP AND GET BACK AT IT. DON'T MOURN. DON'T GROW JUST LIKE YEAH, THAT'S WHY YOU GOTTA BE EVERY MORNING. YOU GOT TO GET UP AND YOU GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU'RE GONNA GET BETTER. BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT WHAT YOU HAVE. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE SUCCESSFUL.

PEOPLE AROUND THE COUNTRY ARE SAYING OH, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE AROUND THE STATE ARE SAYING NO.

YEAH. YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE GONNA GET OUR ACT TOGETHER AND WE'RE GOING TO BEAT THEM. THAT'S HOW PEOPLE THINK ABOUT YOU. SO YOU HAVE TO FEEL LIKE YOU'RE THE HUNTED. AND YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE BETTER TOMORROW. THAN YOU WERE YESTERDAY. AND. YOU KNOW, THAT'S HOW I THINK ABOUT LIFE LIKE OKAY, GREAT. LET'S GO AHEAD. LET'S GO SMILE. ENJOY IT. BUT TOMORROW WE GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO KEEP GETTING BETTER. MY GOAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN AS I SEE MY JOB, IT'S LIKE, LOOK, GET PEOPLE, A GREAT EDUCATION AND SOME JOB SKILLS.

CREATE A GOOD ECONOMY AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GIVEN THEM THE TOOLS TO GO OUT AND LIVE THEIR VERSION OF THE AMERICAN DREAM. WHATEVER THAT IS. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I TRY TO DO AND HOW I THINK ABOUT IT. REMEMBER THIS? AND ROLES. WE PLAY EVERY TIME WE MAKE IT EASIER FOR SOMEBODY TO DO SOMETHING THEY'RE MORE LIKELY TO DO IT AND EVERY TIME WE MAKE IT HARDER. FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING, THE LESS LIKELY THEY ARE TO DO IT. SO THINK ABOUT YOUR JOBS THAT WAY. ARE YOU MAKING IT EASIER FROM A REGULATORY POINT OF VIEW? ARE YOU MAKING IT HARDER? ARE YOU PROVIDING GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE? ARE YOU KNOCKING DOWN BARRIERS TO ENTRY? ALL OF THOSE KINDS OF THINGS WILL HELP YOU GET MORE OF WHAT YOU WANT. AND IF YOU KEEP THAT MOMENTUM. THEN GREAT THINGS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. IF YOU START TO SLOWLY SIGNAL COMMUNITY BY COMMUNITY COUNTY BY COUNTY NO. MAYBE WE DON'T WANT THAT. NOW. WE'RE GONNA MAKE A LITTLE HARDER. I UNDERSTAND YOU'LL DEVELOP THAT REPUTATION. AND PEOPLE BECAUSE I KNOW IT LIKE I CAN TELL YOU THE COMMUNITIES IN THIS STATE BECAUSE IT'S REALLY COMMUNITY BY COMMUNITY. AND IT'S IT IS LARGER BY THE REGION. BUT COMMUNITIES YOU KNOW THEY DEVELOPED A REPUTATION AND IF YOU'RE HARD TO DO BUSINESS WITH PEOPLE JUST WON'T COME AND IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO GET A CHANCE. BECAUSE YOUR REPUTATION WILL WE'LL PROCEED YOU AND THEY JUST WON'T COME KNOCKING ANYMORE. THEY WON'T LOOK. BUT IF YOU HAVE THAT GO GET HIM ATTITUDE THAT WELCOMING ATTITUDE THAT CUSTOMER SERVICE ATTITUDE THAN YOU DEVELOPED THAT REPUTATION, TOO. AND THEN MORE PEOPLE WANT TO COME MORE PEOPLE KNOCK ON THE DOOR. MORE PEOPLE CALL MORE PEOPLE SEND YOU AN EMAIL AND ONE OF YOUR BUSINESS WITH YOU. AND THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENS, AND IT'S NOT ANNOUNCED ITS JUST REPUTATION. AND, UM YOU KNOW? LOOK WE GOTTA GET THE FUNDAMENTALS, RIGHT? YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THE FUNDAMENTALS ALREADY ECONOMIC FILAMENT JP WENT THROUGH THEM, BUT I WILL TOUCH ON THE BIT SITES. WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO HELP. BUT WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GOT THE INFRASTRUCTURE THERE , THE ROADS, THE WATER, THE BROADBAND, WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE IN THE EU, MAKE IT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO DO THAT YOU TAKE THE COST OUT OF THE INVESTMENT. WHERE DOES CAPITAL GO? CAPITAL GOES WHERE IT'S MOST APPRECIATED. WHERE IT'S GOT THE BEST CHANCE TO GET A RETURN ON INVESTMENT. I WILL ALWAYS TOUCH ON THIS TIME AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN, BUT IT'S ALSO WORKFORCE.

WHEN WE WERE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW AN AMERICAN IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD. EIGHT. PROBLEM WITH DEMOGRAPHICS. WORKING AGE WORKFORCE IS JUST NOT AS BIG 25 TO 60. EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING TO MAKE THE MAXIMIZE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT IN YOUR COMMUNITY WHERE BUSINESSES AND EDUCATORS ARE

[00:15:04]

UNLESS YOU WANT THEM TO LIVE WITH YOU. THEY GOTTA HAVE SOMEPLACE TO LIVE. I KNOW. I MEAN, WE LOVE OUR KIDS, BUT YOU KNOW SOME POINT THEY GOTTA MOVE OUT ON THEIR OWN, BUT YOU GOT A PLACE FOR HIM TO GO OR THEY WON'T BUILD AFFORD IT. A LOT OF THAT HAS DECIDED THAT THE LOCAL LEVEL ARE YOU MAKING IT HARDER? EASIER, AND WE ALL HAVE TO CHIP IN HAVE TO DO OUR PART IN THAT.

THAT MAY MEAN THAT YOU YOU'VE GOT TO BUILD SOME HOUSING. THAT'S A LITTLE MORE DENSITY TO IT. LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN YOU'RE ACCUSTOMED TO. BUT IF YOU HAVE A GROWTH MENTALITY, AND YOU HAVE A COLLABORATIVE MENTALITY WHERE EVERYBODY HAS TO PITCH IN WHEN YOU SAY OKAY, HOW CAN WE DO OUR PART? IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND STILL MAKE IT CONSISTENT WITH WHAT ARE RESIDENTS ARE WILLING TO LIVE WITH, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT IT. YOU'VE GOT TO BE WILLING TO DO IT. AND

[00:20:02]

THERE'S ENOUGH PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM. THEY IF YOU DO THAT, YOU CAN CHANGE THAT DIRECTION FOR THE BETTER. LIKE YOU COLLECTIVELY HAVE THAT POWER LIKE LITERALLY RIGHT IN THIS ROOM. TO DO THAT. AND I HOPE YOU WILL. AND I TALKED A LOT ABOUT THOSE REMOVING BARRIERS IN LIFE.

AND I JUST WANT TO TAP INTO THIS BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A LOT ABOUT THIS THE STATE LEVEL BUT I ALSO ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT LIKE REGIONS THAT GET IT RIGHT ARE THE ONES THAT ARE GONNA GO FASTER THAN THE PLACES THAT DON'T THERE'LL BE EARLY ADOPTERS WILL BE LAID TO DOCTORS. AND I'M GOING TO TALK. YOU KNOW IN THAT WORKFORCE CONTEXT ABOUT CHILDCARE. JUST FOR A SECOND. I SAW A STAT THIS MORNING THAT WERE THAT 79.9% WE'LL CALL IT 80% OF COLLEGE EDUCATED WOMEN.

UM I WENT TO WORK OR WORKING, AND THEY WENT TO WORK WITH CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 10 WHEN THEY STARTED TO WORK. AND MORE WOMEN ARE GOING TO COLLEGE AND MEN. SO IF YOU WANT THOSE HIGH END TALENTED PEOPLE YOU GOT TO HELP FAMILIES LIKE ARE YOUR FAMILY FRIENDLY. ARE YOU HELPING? IF YOU'RE AN EMPLOYER? YOU'RE IN A BUSINESS PARK. DO YOU HAVE PLACES WHERE PEOPLE CAN TAKE THEIR CHILDREN GET QUALITY CHILDCARE. BECAUSE THEY NEED IT. IT COSTS LIKE 10 TO $12,000. IN SOME CASES OF SOME CASES, MORE TO PUT A CHILD INTO CHILDCARE PER YEAR. IT'S LIKE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN SENDING THEM TO COLUMBUS STATE. HELP. THAT'S A TOUGH TIME MARRIED PEOPLE, SINGLE PARENTS, WHATEVER. AND IF YOU GET IT RIGHT FROM BUSINESS, COMMUNITY AND COMMUNITY POINT OF VIEW, IT'S AMAZING WHAT CAN HAPPEN. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE BETTER COMMUNITIES WITH BETTER OUTCOMES. AND THAT'S ALSO WITH MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND DRUG ADDICTION AND US TRYING TO TACKLE THIS ISSUE, WHICH I FEEL PASSIONATE ABOUT ENDING THE BENEFITS CLIFF THAT WE'RE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL SERVICE SECURITY. SOCIAL SECURITY NET LITERALLY TRAPPED PEOPLE IN GENERATIONAL CYCLES OF POVERTY. WE GOT TO BE INNOVATIVE AND THINK ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT, AND WE'RE DOING SOME OF THAT WITH THE CENTRAL OHIO EMPLOYERS. AND MAKING SURE THAT MORE AND MORE OF OUR STUDENTS AND ADULTS ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE CAREER AND JOB TRAINING.

WE HAVE WE'RE TRYING TO EXPAND OUR CAREER CENTERS. CAREER CENTERS ARE BOOMING. MORE AND MORE STUDENTS ARE GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL WITH CREDENTIALS AND CERTIFICATIONS TO GO RIGHT OUT INTO THE WORKFORCE. EMPLOYERS ARE HIRING THEM. WE HAVE PROGRAMS LIKE TECH, QUITE LITERALLY, EVERYBODY IN OHIO HAS ACCESS TO FREE JOB TRAINING TO EARN IN DEMAND INDUSTRY CREDENTIALS FREE BUT YOU GOTTA TAKE CARE ADVANTAGE OF IT. AND IF YOU HAVE ALL THESE BARRIERS IN YOUR LIFE, YOU'RE NOT DOING THAT. SO COMMUNITIES THAT GET THIS RIGHT ARE GOING TO BE THE ONES THAT ARE BETTER POSITIONED FOR ALL OF THOSE LEVELS OF TALENT. WE STAY FOCUSED ON IT.

AND THEN MY LAST POINT THEY'RE GONNA MAKE AND THIS IS TO SOME EXTENT A LOCAL ISSUE, BUT BUT IT'S LARGER, LARGER EARLY. PRESENTLY A STATE ISSUE AND THAT'S ENERGY. MENTIONING THIS BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR WE TALK A LOT ABOUT IT. THE GOVERNOR TALKED MORE ABOUT IT.

UM WE'RE WINNING. HOW WAS WINNING AMERICA'S WINNING BY BRINGING MORE MANUFACTURING BACK. TO BE MADE IN AMERICA MADE IN OHIO. BUT IF YOU'RE GONNA MAKE BATTERIES YOU'RE GONNA MAKE CHIPS AND YOU'RE GONNA RUN DATA CENTERS. UTD ENERGY AND THEY DON'T RUN. JUST DURING THE DAY YOU NEEDED 24 73 65 AT THE SAME LEVEL TO RUN A DATA CENTER DATA CENTERS DUE TO A I ARE GONNA PROBABLY TAKE UP 3.5% OF ALL THE ENERGY TO PRODUCTION DOMESTICALLY AND REMEMBER, WE DIDN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT A I A YEAR AGO. AND SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUSH FOR INFRASTRUCTURE RAMP TO PUSH OUR REGULATORS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN BUILD MORE. ENERGY GENERATION. AND WHEN, AND SOLAR FINE, BUT THAT'S INADEQUATE TO THE TASK. WE HAVE TO BUILD GAS FIRE POWER PLANTS.

WE HAVE TO BUILD NUCLEAR. WE HAVE TO BUILD THE TRANSMISSION TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS. AND IF WE DON'T THAT WILL KILL OUR MOMENTUM BECAUSE LITERALLY YOU ASK YOUR FRIENDS AT AP AND THEY'LL TELL YOU THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE ENERGY BECAUSE IT WON'T BE THERE. SO THESE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS AS WE LOOK FORWARD. THAT WE CAN IMPACT AND TO THE DEGREE WE IMPACT THEM. THEN OUR MOMENTUM AND OUR HOPE AND OUR ASPIRATIONS WITH THE GROWTH MENTALITY WILL BE ACHIEVED. AND IT'S EXCITING. BECAUSE I'VE BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS JP MENTIONED WE USED TO WORK IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND DATING. I WANT TO TELL YOU WORKING ECONOMIC

[00:25:03]

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE OF WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. GREAT QUALITY OF LIFE. FOUR DOUBLE HOUSING. PLACE WHERE PEOPLE FAMILY WOULD PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE? RAISE THE FAMILY CONTINUE TO BE THE CENTRAL OHIO THAT YOU ALL LOVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND MAY ALL OF YOU HAVE A HAPPY HANUKKAH. MERRY CHRISTMAS. YEAH. THAT THAT CONCLUDES OUR ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, UM, MOVING ON SUPPORT OF LOCAL COUNCIL. THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE

[PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT]

GOOD EVENING. SO FOR THIS MONTH, WE HAD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JUST AS A BRIEF UPDATE.

I DID SEND AN EMAIL OUT TO COUNSEL THAT WAS THE OFFICIAL MEETING WAS DELAYED, BUT WE DID CONTINUE TO DO JUST A PRELIMINARY INTRODUCTION, MEETING WITH THE APPLICANT AND DID A PRESENTATION ON THE MARYSVILLE EAST SECTION TWO AND WE WILL BE HOLDING THAT FORMAL MEETING ON WEDNESDAY OF THIS WEEK AT SIX O'CLOCK HERE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS. AND THAT

[DESIGN REVIEW BOARD REPORT]

[HEARING OF CITIZENS]

[00:30:01]

I'VE HEARD COMMENTS FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS I'M SURE YOU ALL HAVE HEARD THE SAME IN THE LAST YEAR THAT ARE VERY CONCERNING COMMENTS LIKE GROWTH NEEDS TO BE STOPPED. WE DO NOT NEED TO GROW ANYMORE. THE PHRASE IF YOU AREN'T GROWING, YOU'RE DYING IS A LIE. THE REFERENDUM IN NOVEMBER WAS PROOF WE SHOULDN'T BE GROWING. FOR MY JUST FROM MY PERSPECTIVE AND MY FAMILY ALONE. JUST IN MY GENERATION OF COUSINS. WE HAVE AT LEAST EIGHT SPOUSES THAT ARE NOT ORIGINALLY FROM MARYSVILLE FROM THOSE SPOUSES. WE NOW HAVE COUNTLESS CHILDREN AND TRAILING FAMILY MEMBERS MOVING TO MARYSVILLE TO BE CLOSER. MY FAMILY ALONE NEEDED 15 HOUSING UNITS. NOW IMAGINE EVERY FAMILY FROM MARYSVILLE GROWTH AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, DIVERSE GROWTH IS NOT ONLY INEVITABLE BUT SHOULD BE WELCOMED. THIS EXAMPLE DOES NOT EVEN ACCOUNT FOR THE NEW HIRES COMING INTO WORK AT OUR AMAZING LOCAL COMPANIES. SOMETHING TO CONSIDER FROM OUR JOINING COMMUNITIES. THERE HAVE BEEN NINE REFERENDUMS FILED IN JEROME TOWNSHIP IN THE LAST 4 TO 5 YEARS AND THEY HAVE ALL BEEN DEFEATED AT THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS OR THROUGH LAWSUITS.

THERE HAVE BEEN TWO REFERENDUMS IN DELAWARE AND BOTH WENT TO TRIAL WHERE THE DEVELOPER ONE I SAY THIS AS A COMMUNITY MEMBER THAT DOES NOT WISH FOR OUR CITY TO BE ENTANGLED IN LAWSUITS CONSTANTLY, RATHER LET US LOOK TO GROWTH PROACTIVELY AND PRAGMATICALLY AND USE PLAN DEVELOPMENT AS A WAY TO CONTROL THE LOOK AND FEEL OF OUR NECESSARY GROWTH GROWTH THAT LEADERSHIP HAS BEEN PREPARING FOR OVER 20 YEARS. HAVING THE FORESIGHT TO KNOW WE NEEDED STRONGER INFRASTRUCTURE. MY PAST MY FIVE MINUTES. OKAY? I'VE ONLY HAD ONE MORE PARAGRAPH OKAY, ACCORDING TO DATA FROM THE MID OHIO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT 25 YEARS, CENTRAL HIGHER REGION WILL SEE A MASSIVE GROWTH, UM FOR THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE TO REMAIN A BRIGHT, VIBRANT AND ATTRACTIVE COMMUNITY. WE SHOULD WORK TOGETHER TO FIND CREATIVE WAYS TO PROACTIVELY DEVELOP HOUSING YOUR JOBS AND JOBS NEAR HOUSING.

LOCATING NEW DEVELOPMENT WITHIN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT ROUTES WHENEVER PRACTICAL.

MARYSVILLE IS BECOMING A MODEL FOR OTHER CENTRAL OHIO CITIES TO REPLICATE AS THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH ATTENTION AND SMART GROWTH IN THE CITY THAT HAS NOT ONLY ELEVATED PROPERTY VALUES. BUT IT'S ALSO CREATED A VIBRANT AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY. THIS ISN'T SOMETHING WE AS A COMMUNITY SHOULD BE PROUD OF NOT UPSET BY AS I MENTIONED IN MY OPENING COMMENTS, EMBRACING CHALLENGE EMBRACING CHALLENGES FOSTER'S PERSONAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT AND IT PAYS THE WAY FOR A BRIGHTER AND MORE FULFILLING FUTURE. LET US BE LOGICAL. LET US BE PRAGMATIC AND LET US WORK TOGETHER FOR SOLUTIONS TO CONTINUE MORE MOVING TOWARDS ONE AND OUR FUTURE. THANK YOU.

REALLY. THANK YOU. KATIE. APPRECIATE IT. ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT.

AGAIN THIS IS NOT PART OF THE TOPIC THAT IS ON THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT IS NOT OKAY. THANK YOU.

IT'S AREA. IT'S HOW MUCH. UM I AM SPEAKING. MY NAME IS CHRISTY MOUNT. I LIVE. AT 11408 TO

[00:35:11]

PERFECT LADY. ANYBODY ELSE? SILENTLY UM, UM, TOPIC THAT'S NOT RELATED TO TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

OKAY? ALREADY THEN I'M SORRY YOU GOT YOU GO AHEAD. I HAVE A QUESTION IF I AM REFERRING TO ANNEXATION NUMBER TWO, NOT ANNEXATION. NUMBER ONE. CAN I SPEAK NOW? ANNEXATION NUMBER TWO IS HAS NOT BEEN INTRODUCED YET. SO AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE ANNEXATION NUMBER ONE, AND THEN WE HAVE THE NUMBER TWO IF WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THAT, AS WELL, YES. YEAH, AND THAT ANNEXATION NUMBER TWO. I SUSPECT IT WILL BE ON THE FIRST MONDAY IN JANUARY IS THAT WEDNESDAY POINTING COMMISSION BEING THIS WEDNESDAY. AT SIX O'CLOCK, OKAY. OKAY. WE DEFINITELY HOPE THAT YOU CAN ATTEND THOSE TYPES OF MEETINGS BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF THE DECISIONS UM, ARE BEING MADE BEFORE THEY COME TO COUNCIL COMMUNITY. YES. INFORMATION MHM WITH THIS.

PARTICULAR. JUST IN GENERAL WITH THE COMMUNITY. OKAY? YES GO AHEAD RANDY LINES OF 14 TO 20 HITTING MILL ROAD AND IT'S IN BUXTON MEADOWS, AND I, TOO, WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION TONIGHT THAT THIS IS THE SECOND READING OF THE ANNEXATION, IN WHICH CASE THE PUBLIC WOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO AHEAD AND SPEAK YOU. YOU WILL. CURRENTLY WE, UM, AT THE PORTION OF HEARING OF CITIZEN AND THE ONE THAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO WE DO ORDINANCE SEE WITH THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE ALEXEI SHIN. AND THEN WE DO ORDINANCE, THE E. WHICH CHIEF PROOF PLANNING COMMISSION, SO YOU HAVE ONE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ABOUT THE ANNEXATION AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY. AND DEPLOY WILL BE OPEN AT THAT TIME FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE THIS EVENING, BUT THE BRITISH EVENING? YES. YEAH, YEAH. WE'RE NOT THERE YET. I'M SORRY. BELIEVE ME, YOUR CLASS. WE'LL LET YOU KNOW. IN TIME.

WE'LL LET YOU KNOW IN TIME 80 ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY ALL RIGHT. SO THAT CONCLUDES THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT, AND NOW WE GO INTO THE RESOLUTION RESOLUTION A. AND I DO HAVE ONE

[Res. A]

[00:40:03]

[Ord. A]

[Ord. B]

OKAY IT'S BEEN THIS STATION. I THINK. TAKE THE LEAD ON THIS ONE. YEAH, SO THIS IS THE SAME THING WE'VE DONE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. NOW WHERE WE HAVE THE SHORT TERM NOTES THAT WE REFINANCE THAT WERE UTILIZED FOR THESE PURPOSES MANY YEARS AGO. UM WE HAVE THIS ISSUANCE IN THE ONE WE DO GENERALLY IN THE SUMMER. I THINK IT'S DRY TECHNICALLY, BUT UM, WE ARE GOING TO PAY DOWN 300,000. ON THIS ISSUANCE AND 100,000 ON THE NEXT ISSUANCE. NEXT ISSUANCE IS LIKE 1.8 MILLION SO SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER, SO JUST PAYING DOWN MORE ON THE MORE SIGNIFICANT ISSUANCE. UM WE NEED FIRST READING TODAY SIMPLY BECAUSE WE NEED THE THREE READINGS AND THE 30 DAY PERIOD AFTERWARDS PRIOR TO ISSUING THE DEBT WHEN IT COMES TO MARCH 1ST, SO IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. ANY QUESTIONS FOR BIRTH ON THIS ONE.

OKAY? HEARING NONE OF THIS WILL BE BACK FOR SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING ON JANUARY THE

[Ord. C]

SO WE HAVE ORDINANCE D, WHICH WILL BE THE APPROVED PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION, SO THEY DO GO IN TANDEM. BUT YET EACH OF THEM WILL BE HANDLED INDIVIDUALLY. UM IF YOU DON'T

[00:45:04]

ALRIGHTY IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THERE IS A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER. UM, PRESIDENT HERE TONIGHT. MR SMITH. ARE YOU WITH US SOMEWHERE? UM WOULD YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE AS THE ONE OF OUR PARTNERS IN THIS SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE MARYSVILLE EXEMPT SCHOOL BOARD? ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. I'M DICK SMITH, MARY'S FILM MEMBER, AH OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL THIS EVENING ON BEHALF OF THE MARYSVILLE BOARD OF EDUCATION AS WE CITY COUNCIL AND THE SCHOOL BOARD. NO THE CITY SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN COMMITTED TO HIM AND IMPROVED PARTNERSHIP. WHICH IS WHY I'M HERE THIS EVENING. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT LEADERSHIP AND INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS HAVE MET WITH THE DEVELOPERS OF MARYSVILLE EAST, BOTH THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY AND R D I TO DISCUSS THE CONCEPTUAL RENDERINGS OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

ADDITIONALLY POTENTIAL INCENTIVE PACKAGES THAT MAY BE NEEDED IN ORDER TO MAKE THE PROJECT FEASIBLE WAS SHARED. HOWEVER NO SPECIFIC DOLLAR AMOUNTS OF FIGURES WERE PROVIDED. WE ANTICIPATE RECEIVING SPECIFIC FINANCIAL INFORMATION AT SOME POINT AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. WE UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THE NEED FOR STRATEGIC AND WELL PLANNED GROWTH FOR THE VITALITY OF A COMMUNITY. HOWEVER AS THE BOARD OF EDUCATION WE TAKE THESE DECISIONS SERIOUSLY. WE ARE COMMITTED TO COLLABORATION AND WILL CAREFULLY REVIEW THE FINANCIAL INCENTIVE PACKAGE THAT IS PRESENTED TO US PRIOR TO ANY VOTE. THESE DECISIONS ARE NEVER TAKEN LIGHTLY AND REQUIRE CAREFUL CONSIDERATION BY ALL ENTITIES INVOLVED. UH, AH, WHICH IS THE REASON COOPERATION BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE SCHOOLS IS VITAL AND REQUIRES HONEST AND OPEN DIALOGUE. FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT LANDS. EACH PROJECT IS CONSIDERED ON ITS OWN MERITS.

BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. FINANCIAL IMPACT ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. AND POTENTIAL SHIFT OF TAX BURDEN TO THE LARGER COMMUNITY. WE DO APPRECIATE THAT THIS PROJECT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD EARLY FOR CONSIDERATION AND LOOK FORWARD TO RECEIVING THE FINANCIAL INCENTIVE PACKAGE FOR FURTHER UH, CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO COUNCIL THIS EVENING. ALREADY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE ON BEHALF OF THE SCHOOL. I THINK THERE'S SO MUCH, UM OKAY. THE FLOOR IS YOURS. IF AGAIN THIS THIS IS THE PORTION THAT DEALS WITH THE ANNEXATION. SO IS THERE ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND MAY

[00:50:09]

UM I SERVED OUR COMMUNITY, THE UNION COUNTY COMMUNITY FOR 34 YEARS, 24 YEARS AS COUNTY ENGINEER AND 10 YEARS AS A COUNTY COMMISSIONER. UM GROWTH AND, UM, ANNEXATIONS, UM. ZONE.

ING'S CAN BE VERY EMOTIONAL FOR FOLKS, AND IT'S RATHER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO LOOK AT ISSUES OBJECTIVELY AND TWO WAY FACTS WITH REGARD TO ISSUES. YOUR ACTION SHOULD ALWAYS BE TO TAKE ACTION THAT THE ACTION THAT'S IN THE BEST LONG TERM INTERESTS OF THE CITY. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT LET'S REVIEW SOME FACTS. AMERICAN MURDER'S RELEASE. DEVELOPMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. PROVIDES A RESIDENTIAL AND ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AREA PROVIDES EASY ACCESS TO US 36 TO GO EAST FOR MARYSVILLE PROVIDES EASY ACCESS TO U S. 33 TO THE DRIVE SOUTH SOUTHEAST OF COLUMBUS OR NORTHWEST TO HONDA AND BEYOND. EASY ACCESS TO THE EXCUSE ME, THE RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL USES ALONG 33. AND SO LOCATED ALONG THE THEIR 33 SMART MOBILITY QUARTER CORRIDOR WHERE THE FUTURE IS HAPPENING HERE. YOU OUGHT TO BE COMMENDED FOR YOUR POSITIONING OF OUR CITY WITH REGARD TO, UH TO LONG RANGE PLANNING TO THINKING AHEAD. YOU THINK BACK TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT ALONG 33. THAT. YOU'VE POSITIONED THIS COUNTY FOR MANY YEARS OF GROWTH? UH CERTAINLY HAVE THE CAPACITY THERE TO HANDLE THE MARY'S RELEASED DEVELOPMENT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT WATER YOU'VE CONSTRUCTED, UH UP GROUND RESERVOIR. YOU BOUGHT LAND TO EXPAND THAT RESERVOIR OR TO BUILD A SECOND RESERVOIR.

LAST YEAR, YOU OPENED A NEW WATER PLANT, AND THOSE FACILITIES AGAIN PROVIDE AMPLE CAPACITIES FOR MARY'S RELEASE, DEVELOPMENT AND ANOTHER GROWTH. SO. THE WATER AND SEWER EXTENSIONS INTO THE MARYSVILLE EAST AREA ARE PRETTY SIMPLE EXTENSIONS BY DEVELOPERS. THE.

LOGJAM REMOVAL PROJECT THAT THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ARE CONSIDERING RIGHT NOW. WHEN THAT'S APPROVED, THAT WILL BE CONSTRUCTED THAT WILL IMPROVE STORMWATER, UH, ISSUES WITHIN A FEW YEARS FOR NOT ONLY MARY MARYSVILLE EAST AREA, BUT FOR ALL OF ALL OF THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE. ADVANCED MANUFACTURING JOBS PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE OUR AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME HERE IN MARYSVILLE AND IN UNION COUNTY, THE NEW ALBANY

[00:55:02]

I WAS BORN AT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL JUST DOWN THE ROAD IN 1970. UM, I GREW UP IN MARYSVILLE GRADUATED FROM MARYSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL IN 1988. I HAVE WORKED AT A LOCAL COMPANY HERE FOR OVER 30 YEARS NOW AND TOGETHER WITH MY WIFE. WE ARE RAISING A FAMILY HERE IN MARYSVILLE. MY ROOTS ARE VERY DEEP IN THIS TOWN. SO WHAT IS GROWTH? OR BETTER YET? WHAT DOES GROWTH MEAN TO MARYSVILLE? GROWTH ACCORDING TO THE DICTIONARY IS THE PROCESS OF INCREASING IN SIZE. WHEN I WAS BORN IN 1970, THE POPULATION OF MARYSVILLE WAS 5744. AT THE AGE OF 10. THE POPULATION OF MARRIAGE BILL WAS 7414. BY THE TIME I HAD GRABBED TWO YEARS AFTER I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL THE POPULATION OF MARRIAGEABLE HAD GROWN TO 9656. SO THAT WAS 1990. AT AT THE 20 TURN OF THE 20TH CENTURY. THE POPULATION OF MARYSVILLE WAS 14,942. IN 2010. I KNOW THESE ARE BORING NUMBERS, BUT I'M GETTING SOMEWHERE THE POPULATION WAS 22,094 THAT THE LAST CENSUS MARRIAGE WILL HAVE GROWN TO 25 5 71, SO MARRIAGEABLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GROWING COMMUNITY, AT LEAST IN THE 53 YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE. TO ME. GROWTH MEANS CHOICES. I'M SURE MANY IN THIS ROOM PROBABLY ENJOY GOING TO STARBUCKS OR BIGBY OR PERHAPS TIM HORTONS OR SCOOTERS. WITHOUT THE GROWTH, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE THOSE CHOICES. IF YOU LIVE IN MANY OF THE DEVELOPMENTS IN THIS TOWN, ADINA POINT COOKS POINT CHESTNUT RUN EWING MEADOWS, GREEN PASTURES, HICKORY RUN CAN WORKPLACE KEYSTONE CROSSING MILL VALLEY, MARYSVILLE FLATS, REDWOOD APARTMENTS, SCOTT FARMS, THE LENGTHS THE OAKS WALKER MEADOWS WHERE WE HAVE A RIDGE. I AM SURE YOU'RE THANKFUL THAT THESE AREAS WERE DEVELOPED AND PROVIDED FOR YOUR FAMILIES WITH SUCH CHOICES. I'M HOPING THAT YOU WILL AGREE THAT WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF MARYSVILLE OR ANY OF THE THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS IN THOSE DEVELOPMENTS. MANY OF WHOM HAVE BEEN IN THE COMMUNITY FOR DECADES. TO NOW.

WANT THE DOOR SHUT BEHIND THEM. TO ME. GROWTH ALSO MEANS OPPORTUNITY. WITH GROWTH OF MARYSVILLE, WOULD THERE BE AN EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS OF THIS COMMUNITY TO ATTEND? THE OPPORTUNITIES E. C H S AND M H S OFFER THE STUDENTS IN THIS TOWN ARE TRULY AMAZING.

I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT, AS I HAVE A STUDENT AT BOTH SCHOOLS, THE OPPORTUNITIES MY KIDS HAVE AT THESE SCHOOLS ARE FAR GREATER THAN THE THAN THE OPPORTUNITY I HAD IN MARYSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL.

TO ME. GROWTH ALSO MEANS PROSPERITY. PROSPERITY REALIZING QUALITY, HEALTHCARE, DINING AND ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS, AND THEN OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. IT IS ALSO REALIZED IN EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN MARYSVILLE, WHETHER IT BE AT SCOTT'S HONDA MEMORIAL HEALTH, NUMEROUS NATIONAL CHAIN STORES OR LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED BUSINESSES, JOB OPPORTUNITIES EXIST IN AND AROUND MARYSVILLE. THE CURRENT. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 2700 JOBS AVAILABLE IN 10 MINUTE RADIUS OF MARYSVILLE. EXPAND THAT OUT TO 20 MINUTES AND YOU'VE GOT 7800 JOBS AVAILABLE. AS OF EARLY DECEMBER, THERE WERE 20 HOUSES FOR SALE IN THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE, THE AVERAGE ASKING PRICE OF THOSE HOUSES WITH $325,000. WITHOUT GROWTH, THE NUMBER OF HOUSES WILL DECREASE IN THE PRICES WILL ONLY INCREASE . SELFISHLY I WOULD LIKE MY KIDS TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO LIVE IN MARYSVILLE AFTER THEY HAVE TO CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO, IF THE GROWTH OF MARRIAGE WHAT DOES NOT CONTINUE, MY KIDS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO LIVE IN MARYSVILLE. I OFTEN READ ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THAT PEOPLE WANT THESE SMALL TOWN FEEL. LIKE IT USED TO BE IN MARYSVILLE. I CAN APPRECIATE THAT BY GETTING CLOSE. OKAY I CAN APPRECIATE THAT. THEY PREVIOUSLY POINTED OUT DURING MY 53 YEARS OF LIVING HERE ORIGINAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN GROWING AND DEVELOPING ALSO HEARD PHRASES LIKE WE NEED SMART GROWTH OR RESPONSIBLE GROWTH OR NO GROWTH AT ALL. I'M NOT SURE IF I HAVE HEARD DEFINITELY AND SMART GROWTH OR RESPONSIBLE GROWTH, BUT I KNOW IT. NO GROWTH DOES TO A COMMUNITY. NOTHING STAYS THE SAME, SO NO GROWTH MEANS LOSS. NO GROWTH MEANS DECLINING CHOICE OPPORTUNITY AND PROSPERITY FOR YOUR FAMILIES IN MIND. THAT'S A SMALL TOWN FEEL THAT I'M NOT INTERESTED IN AND THERE ARE

[01:00:04]

ANYBODY ELSE TONIGHT? OKAY HERE. NONE OF THIS WILL BE BACK FOR THIRD TRADING TITLE ONLY ON

[Ord. D]

TO 800 TO 3057. 1000 TO 800 TO 1002000. AND 2800170450. TO 0 FROM YOU. ONE TOWNSHIP ZONING TO A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR MARYSVILLE EAST SECTION ONE. HEY ADMINISTRATION, THE ONLY COMMENT I HAD TO KIND OF PIGGYBACK OFF. SOME OF STEVE STOLE THESE COMMENTS. YOU KNOW, OF COURSE WE JUST WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS INVESTED ANOTHER $15.5 MILLION INTO A SEWER PUMP STATION INTO THIS PARTICULAR AREA FOR THE PLANNED OF A DEVELOPMENT SIMILAR . TO WHAT BEFORE YOU AND WHAT ZONING IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT FOR THAT FOR THAT PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT SO AGAIN. AND INVESTMENT. IN PREPARATION FOR THE ANTICIPATED GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY OCCUR IN THIS AREA. OKAY? ALREADY USUALLY WE IN THE SEQUENCE THAT WE DO COUNCIL FIRST, BUT SINCE WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU FIRST DEPLOYS OPEN FOR CITIZENS THAT MAY HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR CONCERNS ABOUT THE PROPOSED EU DE. SO IF THERE'S ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK UP AGAIN. PLEASE FIND THE MICROPHONE AND THE REST COUNCIL AS BEST YOU CAN THAT WAY . WHEN WE DO WANT TO LOOK AT, UM AND GO WITH ONE MORE TIME BEFORE WE MAKE A PAIN OF DECISION. WE KEPT EVERYONE THAT YOU SAY SO THANK YOU WANT TO TAKE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS FIRST, IF POSSIBLE, UM IF HE IF HE COULD DO THE NEIGHBORS THAT DID RECEIVE A LETTER. THEN I WILL STEP FOR ANY OF THOSE THAT MIGHT BE PRESENT. RECEIVED THE LETTER LETTER, PLEASE. OKAY.

HMM. IF IT ALL POSSIBLE THOSE THOSE ARE THE, UH. BYE I GUESS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY CAN GO WITH ANNEXATION NUMBER OR NOT INDEXATION, ZONING, THE P U D FOR NUMBER ONE AS WELL AS NUMBER TWO. MY NAME IS MICHELLE NICODEMUS. I LIVE IN BUXTON MEADOWS. UM GOOD EVENING. I'M A BUXTON MEADOW RESIDENT ON THE LAST OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, THE CITIZENS OF MARYSVILLE HAVE BEEN HEARING SEVERAL BUZZWORDS, SUCH AS PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND DATA CENTERS. I'M HERE TO ASK THAT THE ELECTED OFFICIALS BE AWARE WHAT THE COMBINATION OF THESE TWO WILL MEAN FOR RESIDENTIAL AREAS. AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 3RD. IT WAS MENTIONED THAT WE DID NOT HAVE DATA CENTERS IN OUR ZONING, SO THIS IS ALL VERY NEW TO OUR COMMUNITY. THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY MENTIONED THAT THEY ARE TARGETING STANDALONE DATA CENTERS IN THEIR MARKETING STRATEGY FOR THE P U. D S I AM NOT OPPOSED TO DATA CENTERS. I'M OPPOSED TO A DATA CENTER WITHIN A FEW MILES OF A RESIDENTIAL

[01:05:04]

IN YOUR BACKYARD. UM THIS REZONING. I'M SORRY. I'M GOING TO SKIP THAT PART. FORGOT MY RECORDING. OKAY THESE LARGE H VAC SYSTEMS CAN ALSO ADMIT CONTINUOUS LOW FREQUENCY HUMS THAT THE BRAIN HAS DIFFICULTY FILTERING OUT THE DATA, THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL.

WARREN'S NOISE, NOT LOUD ENOUGH TO CAUSE HEARING DAMAGE CAN STILL CAUSE STRESS. ANXIETY HEART DISEASE, HEART DISEASE WHEN CONTINUOUSLY EXPOSED TO IT. AND. THE W H O WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION HAS RECOGNIZED LOW FREQUENCY NOISE AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS SINCE THE YEAR. 2000 ALSO STATED IN SOME OF THE LITERATURE, THESE STUDIES REINFORCE THE FACT THAT LOW FREQUENCY NOISE IS A POWERFUL STRESSOR, THE MOST CITED EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH REFERRED TO EMOTIONAL CHANGES, SUCH AS ANNOYANCE, AGITATION AND DISTRACTION. IN ADDITION TO THE ASSOCIATION OF LOW FREQUENCY NOISE WITH COGNITIVE ALTERATIONS , THE DEVELOPMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, SLEEP DISORDERS AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OR MENTIONED IT SEEMS OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS SUCH AS THOSE MENTIONED EARLIER IN VIRGINIA AND ARIZONA HAVE BEEN GUINEA PIGS TO SEE IF A DATA CENTER AND RESIDENTIAL AREA CAN COEXIST. I'M ASKING MARYSVILLE TO BE PROACTIVE IN THE POTENTIAL NOISE PROBLEM WITH RESIDENT IN REGARDS TO RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS RATHER THAN FIGURING IT OUT LATER. A SPECIFIC OBJECT LISTED AND R P U D STATES. UM IN THE P U D. IT'S TO PROVIDE AMENITIES AND ENHANCEMENTS THAT WILL SUSTAIN THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND PROPERTY VALUES WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS THE PROPERTY SURROUNDING THE PROPOSED EU DE DOES A DATA CENTER MEET THIS CRITERIA TO A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. IT.

ALSO STATES A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT MAY INCLUDE ANY COMBINATION OF USES DOT DOT DOT PROVIDED THE PROPOSED LOCATION OF THE USES WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT PROPERTY AND OR THE PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY OR GENERAL WELFARE. MY LAST CONCERN IS WHERE DO THE MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER AT DATA CENTER CONSUMES DAILY? COME FROM? CAN OUR RESERVOIRS DO THIS? IF WE HAVE ANOTHER RESERVOIR CAN SUSTAIN THIS OR DO THEY NEED TO POTENTIALLY TAP INTO THE AQUIFERS. THAT ARE WELLS FROM OUR HOMES RUN ON. AGAIN I AM. I'M JUST ASKING FOR YOUR CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING DEVELOPMENT TO REALIZE THE CONSEQUENCES THAT A DATA CENTER SO CLOSE TO OUR HOMES COULD HAVE ON NOT JUST MY NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT ANY FUTURE NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I APPRECIATE IT. ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE COMMENTS ON THE P U. D.

AGAIN I'M CHRISTIE MOUNT. I LIVE AT 1408 TO OXFORD DRIVING BUCKS TO MEADOWS. I'M FIRST GOING TO SPEAK FOR GALE JENKINS 14 TO 4 TO OXFORD DRIVE WHO WASN'T ABLE TO BE HERE. SO THESE ARE HER THOUGHTS TO BEGIN BEEN TALKING PUBLICLY ABOUT THE MARYSVILLE EAST DEVELOPMENT SINCE EARLY OCTOBER, FOCUSING ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CITY'S DISREGARD FOR THE 2018 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AS YOU RECALL BETWEEN NOVEMBER 21 AND SEPTEMBER 23. THE PLANNING COMMISSION CITY COUNCIL MENTIONED THE CONFERENCE AND PLAN IN 50% OF PROJECT DISCUSSIONS THAT QUESTIONS IN THE CITY SKETCH PLAN APPLICATION AS DEVELOPERS TO QUOTE EXPLAIN HOW TO PROPOSE DEVELOPMENTS CONFORM TO THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. QUOTE DEVELOPMENT SKETCH

[01:10:05]

[01:15:05]

GIVEN THE IMAGE THAT THIS IS AN INDUSTRIAL TOWN AND NOT NECESSARILY A FAMILY COMMUNITY THAT IS DESIRED. IF YOU NEED A VISUAL WHAT I'M DESCRIBING TAKE ROUTE 42 NORTH APPROACHING DELAWARE, JUST ON THE OSCARS OF THE CITY. THERE IS AN INDUSTRIAL PARK ALONG WITH THE AIRPORT. IT APPEARS THAT DELAWARE IS DOING A GREAT JOB AND MAKING SURE THAT THEIR PERCEPTION IS NOT SEEN AS AN INDUSTRIAL TOWN AS THE TWO MAIN ARTERIES BEING RALPH 36 AND 23 DO NOT HAVE ANY ANY INDUSTRIAL PARKS ALONG THEM IF YOU LOOK AT OTHER CENTRAL OHIO COMMUNITIES, NONE OF THEM HAVE INDUSTRIAL PARKS ALONG THEIR MAIN ARTERY, UH, ENTRY IN AND OUT OF THEIR TOWN. WHY WOULD MARY SPELL WANT THAT? ALSO IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN, THE PRIORITY FIVE SECTION REGARDING COMMUNITY APPEARANCE AND I READ DIRECTLY FROM IT. THE CITY VISIONS FOR WELL PLANNED NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE A VIBRANT ECONOMY THAT MUST START WITH THE COMMUNITY OF PARENTS PRIORITY.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ATTRIBUTES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO A COMMUNITY CHARACTER AND UNIQUENESS. AND IT GIVES IT A SENSE OF PLACE, WHICH COLLABORATIVELY COLLECTIVELY COMPRISES THE CITY EQUALITY OF LIFE. COMMUNITY CHARACTERS AFFECTS HOW THE CITY IS PROCEED AND VALUED BY EVERYONE WHO LIVES WORKS PLACE FOR VISITS MARYSVILLE. THE CITY WILL LEAD BY EXAMPLE AND IMPROVING THE OVERALL APPEARANCE OF THE COMMUNITY BY CONTINUING TO IMPROVE AND MAINTAIN THE CITY THOROUGHFARES, PARKS AND FACILITIES. THE IDENTITY OF THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE IS THE FIRST IMPRESSION TO THE RESIDENTS, VISITORS AND BUSINESSES. EVERYTHING I HAVE PRESENTED LAST MONTH AND TODAY ARE CLEARLY IN THE COMPREHENSIVE AND STRATEGIC PLANTS THAT WAS CREATED TO ACTUALLY HELP YOU GUIDE MARYSVILLE. CREATING YOUR OWN RULES FOR PLANNING ALONG THE WAY WILL CREATE ISSUES FOR MARY FILL THAT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO BE UNDONE IN THE LATER YEARS. IN CLOSING IN REGARDS TO CITY MANAGER TERRY EMERY'S CLOSE AND COMMENTS LAST MONTH. THE RESIDENTS OF BUCKS AND METALS CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS AND MAYBE WE DO NEED TO BE EDUCATED ON THE GROUNDS THAT PLANNING AND CITY COUNCIL ARE PERMITTED TO GO OUTSIDE THE COMPREHENSIVE FOR STRATEGIC PLAN TO LEAVE. FAMILY HAS EVERY RIGHT TO SELL THEIR LAND, JUST LIKE I HAVE THE RIGHT TO SELL MY HOME. THEY ALSO HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO REQUEST ANNEXATION AND ZONING CHANGE IF DESIRE ONE OF THEM TOGETHER MAKES IT CHALLENGING TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION IF THE REQUEST IS ONLY PLAN CHANGES. IS OUTSIDE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SO IF NEW ALBANY COMPANY WANTS TO BUY THE LAND AND DEVELOP RESIDENTIAL HOMES OR EVEN FARMING, SINCE IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED AGRICULTURE, RESIDENTIAL THEN THERE WAS NOT MUCH THE RESIDENTS CAN DO AS LONG AS THE ROADS ARE PROPERLY PLANNED AND DEVELOPED. SO PLEASE DON'T PERCEIVE THE RESIDENTS OF THIS COMMUNITY AS BEING NAIVE. THERE ARE MANY OF US, THEY HAVE SPENT TENS OF HOURS GOING THROUGH MINUTES PLANS RESEARCHING INFORMATION GOING TO THE WEBSITE AND PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY CHATS TO FULLY UNDERSTAND OUR RIGHTS IN THIS COMMUNITY, SINCE THE CITY IS FAILING TO DO SO. I HOLD UP THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART THAT I FOUND IN THE CITY MARYSVILLE CITY WEBSITE. WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THE STUDENTS BEING ON TOP OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART AND NOT THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY OR ANY OTHER BUSINESS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. HMM.

ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS COUNCIL. GOOD. LOGAN AGAIN. READ THE LIONS RESIDENT THERE IN BUXTON MEADOWS AS WELL, UM AS BOTH CHRISTIE AND DOUG HAD ALLUDED TO FOR MONTHS WE'VE BEEN ATTENDING THESE MEETINGS WERE ASKING QUESTIONS AND QUESTIONS AND QUESTIONS. WE'RE NOT GETTING ANY ANSWERS. SO WE TOOK IT UPON OURSELVES TO GOOD. AND, UM INVITE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF

[01:20:03]

GROWTH THAT MEETS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND GROWTH THAT POTENTIALLY WOULDN'T NECESSARILY NEED. FINANCIAL INCENTIVES LIKE TIFFS OR ABATEMENTS OR PILOTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT UNFORTUNATELY THIS. PART ONE OF THE WALK INS ROAD DEVELOPMENT IS, IN FACT. YOU KNOW, ASKING FOR THOSE KINDS OF PUBLIC HANDOUTS AND I'M SICKENED MYSELF TO WITNESS. THOSE ENTITIES THAT SUFFER FROM TIFFS LIKE THE LIBRARY BOARD. LIKE THE M R D D, LIKE, UM, THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, LET ALONE THE SCHOOLS. THAT BECAUSE OF OPTIMISTS SEE MONEY THAT THEY HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY AND PUT THEIR HEARTS IN PASSING THESE LEVEES. FOR PROPERTY TAX LEVIES, ONLY TO SEE GOVERNMENT. NEW AGENCIES LIKE CITY COUNCIL, YOU

[01:25:05]

BUT AGAIN, THAT WAS A DONE DEAL WITH GOVERNOR RHODES. I REMEMBER SITTING IN THE HOUSE WHEN WE GOT THAT PHONE CALL FROM GOVERNOR ROSE AND HE SAID BOYS. YOU WILL DO THIS, AND THERE IS NOT AN OPTION TO DIE HARD AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD OUT IN MARYSVILLE. SO I IMPRESS UPON YOU. YES, WE NEED HOUSING AND MARY'S AND I'M SURE THAT THERE IS ENOUGH MONEY AVAILABLE TO DEVELOPERS WITHOUT THEM HAVING TO COME WITH THEIR HANDS OUT TO YOU TO SUBSIDIZE THEIR DEVELOPMENT AS A WAY THAT YOU HAVE WITH A LOT OF OTHER RESIDENTIAL TIPS THAT NOT ONLY, YOU KNOW, TAKE MONEY THIS DESPERATELY NEEDED FOR THOSE OTHER AGENCIES, BUT THEN PLACE ADDITIONAL BURDEN ON THOSE AGENCIES IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICES THAT THAT MONEY WAS INTENDED BY THE VOTERS. TO PROVIDE SO WITH THAT I AM NOT ANTI DEVELOPMENT. I'M HERE FOR RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT AND DEVELOPMENT THAT THAT IS GOING TO BE EVALUATED BASED ON ITS OWN MERITS. 11 LAST THING. I DO HAVE TO HAVE TO MENTION THIS. YOU HAD THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY OVER ON 245. TO PUT IN A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT ASKS FOR NOTHING. THEY IN FACT, WE'RE GOING TO SPEND MILLIONS. I THINK IT WAS $6 MILLION AND PROVEN TO IMPROVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE. THEY WERE GOING TO RESERVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FUTURE. YOU KNOW CONTINGENCY FUNDS BASED ON EVERY SALE IN THAT DEVELOPMENT FOR FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT. THEY WEREN'T ASKING FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN JUST THE APPROVAL TO PUT IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND NOTHING ELSE. SO IF THAT DEVELOPMENT WASN'T WORTHY OF APPROVAL, ASKING FOR NOTHING FROM THE PUBLIC I DON'T SEE HOW ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL WHETHER IT BE THE SILO PROJECT DOWNTOWN, WHETHER IT BE THIS WATKINS ROAD DEVELOPMENT 123. NONE OF THOSE SHOULD EVER BE APPROVED IF, IN FACT THE CITIZENS DID NOT WANT STILLWATER FARMS OVER ON 245. OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY? GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS PHILIP BALLPOINT. I LIVED AT 16715 RAINTREE DRIVE. ON BEHALF OF THE . COUNTY AIRPORT. I LIKE TO THANK COUNCILOR FOR AMY, SPEAK THIS EVENING SPECIFICALLY FOR THE P U D REZONE. SO OUR CONCERN IS INCOMPATIBLE LAND USE WITH THE TWO PONDS OR PROMOTING IN THAT RESIDENTIAL AREA. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE RUNWAY AND TAKE AND DRAW A STRAIGHT LINE OUT 2000 FT. IT'S THE FIRST POND SO REQUESTS WOULD BE TO POSSIBLY CONSIDERED DRY BASINS WOULD BE MUCH MORE COMPATIBLE, SO WE REALIZE GROWTH THAT'S HERE IN MARYSVILLE. AND GROWTH THIS YEAR AT THE AIRPORT AS WELL, WE'RE WE HAVE OUR HANGERS ARE FULL. WE HAVE OVER 30 PILOTS WITH DOWN PAYMENTS WANTED TO MOVE INTO YET TO BE CONSTRUCTED HANGERS, SO WE'LL BE EXPANDING FLIGHT OPERATIONS AND WE ALSO, UM, TO HELP CURTAIL THE NOISE. WE ARE SELF IMPOSED THE CHANGE IN COMMON WIN RUNWAYS, WHICH WERE DEPARTING OFF RUNWAY NINE USED TO BE PILOTS TWISTED DEPARTING OUR FRIEND WAY TO SEVEN TO THE WEST BECAUSE USUALLY THE PREVAILING WALES ALWAYS FROM PREVAILING WINS. I WISH FROM THE WEST SO MOSTLY NOISE CREATED FROM AIRPLANES IS, UM, IS FROM DEPARTURES. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE DEPARTING TOWARDS THE EAST AND CALM WINDS, WHICH IS ACTUALLY GONNA BE RIGHT OVER THAT P U D DEVELOPMENT, BUT THE PONDS ARE

[01:30:04]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. PHILIP APPRECIATE YOU SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY.

ANYBODY ELSE? I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO BEAR. I JUST IN HERE FOR A WHILE. UM MY NAME IS CHARLES EASTERN. I LIVE AT 14013 OXFORD DRIVE. AND I'VE LISTENED TO STEVE AND BO. BOTH TALK ABOUT WANTING PROGRESS. THAT'S FINE AND DANDY. BUT YOU KNOW THAT PROGRESS IS NOT IN YOUR BACKYARD. MY BACKYARD. I LOOK OUT AND WHAT THOSE FACTORIES WILL BE RIGHT THERE IN MY BACKYARD. I HAVE NOW A BEAUTIFUL SCENE. I HAVE DEER THAT COME UP. I HAVE ALL KINDS OF ANIMALS THAT COME UP. THEY'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT. WITH THAT HAPPENING. I HAVE THAT NOISE. I'LL HAVE MY VIEW BLOCKED. I HAVE A 10 FT PILE OF DIRT TO LOOK AT. NOW YOU THINK ABOUT THAT IN YOUR BACKYARD? NOT A VERY PLEASANT AND THAT'S. AS A YOU'RE BASICALLY, I GOTTA SAY I LIVED AFTER 38 YEARS. AND I LOVE IT. BUT THE MAIN THING SITTING ON MY DECK LOOKING OUT THAT VIEW IS PRICELESS. PLEASE DON'T TAKE THAT AWAY. THANK YOU. REALLY THANKS, CHARLES APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. ANYBODY ELSE? TIME OUT . SORRY, EDDIE 1672 MEADOWLARK LANE. JUST A FEW COMMENTS ON THE P D. I'M VERY PLEASED TO SEE APARTMENTS PROPOSED NEXT TO WATKINS GLEN CONDOS. I KNOW. UM COUNCILMAN BURGER WAS NOT THRILLED ABOUT THAT. BUT AS SOMEONE WHO WORKS WITH OWNER OCCUPIED PROPERTIES, YOU DO WANT SOME BUFFER. WHICH IS WHAT I THINK EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR SOME BUFFER. SOME SORT OF SPACE. UM AND RENTERS TEND TO CARE A LITTLE BIT LESS ABOUT WHAT'S ADJACENT TO THEM. THE OWNER OCCUPIED AS EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM HAS COMMENTED, UM THE OTHER THING ABOUT BUFFER. I REMEMBER. I LIVE IN MILL VALLEY. AND I REMEMBER WHERE BURGER KING IS SCOOTERS. ALL OF THAT, UH, SOMETHING BIGGER WANTED TO GO IN THERE AND THEY NEEDED REZONING.

AND THERE WAS SOME ARGUMENTS ABOUT THE BUFFER OF THE WOODS THAT WOULD GET LEFT AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE PROPERTY. AND NOTHING COULD GET AGREED ON, AND, UH IT ALL IT FAILED. AND THEN THAT PROPERTY OWNER CAME AND TOOK DOWN EVERY SINGLE TREE SO THAT THAT WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE NEXT TIME. SO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR. UM THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET EXTRA BUFFERS TO GET THINGS BECAUSE IF IT IF SOMETHING GOES IN THAT MEETS THE ZONING YOU DON'T YOU HAVE ANY SAY SO? THIS IS THIS SORT OF A STRUCTURE IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, WHAT KIND OF BUFFERS YOU LIKE? WHAT WOULD MAKE IT WORK? WHAT IS THE COMPROMISE? BECAUSE NOW I DON'T HAVE A SINGLE TREE IN THAT AREA WHEN I COULD HAVE HAD 20 FT WORTH OF WOODS SURROUNDING THAT ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT IN FRONT OF MILL VALLEY. UM FINALLY, I'M REALLY THRILLED ABOUT THE IDEA OF A ROAD GOING IN BEHIND BUXTON MEADOWS. I TRIED TO SELL PROPERTIES LISTED THEM ON WATKINS ROAD AT THE CURVE. AND THEY'RE REALLY HARD TO SELL. UM BECAUSE THE IT'S DANGEROUS AND IT'S FAST TRAFFIC THERE. AND IF A ROAD GOES AROUND THAT PEOPLE CAN BYPASS THAT DOGLEG RIGHT, EVERY ONE OF THOSE PROPERTIES AND WALK INS. IT'S GOING TO GO UP IN VALUE IMMEDIATELY. UM, SO JUST I WAS HAPPY TO HEAR THAT THERE WOULD BE A ROAD A SO THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU, KATIE.

ALRIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY? WELL WE SINCERELY APPRECIATE YOUR, UM, COMMENT. IT'S NOT TIME FOR COUNCIL ANY FURTHER COMMENTS TO WHAT WE PUT TONIGHT. PEACE. I'M SORRY, BART. I'M GONNA BAIL ON YOU BECAUSE THEY CAN'T VOTE FOR YOU IN JANUARY. MR HUNTER, I WOULD REMIND YOU I WANT YOU TO, BUT IT WILL BE HIS VOTE AS OPPOSED TO MINE. IF I HAD THE CHOICE, I HAVE NEVER SEEN. A PRELIMINARY PLAN THAT WAS BETTER THOUGHT OUT, MORE DESCRIPTIVE MORE. TRANSPARENT AND HONEST AND WHEN I OFFERED MY ITTY BITTY TOO, SINCE WE'RE THROUGH MR OZ LINEAR THAT IT WENT THROUGH WITH SUCH GRACE. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL WORK. WITH ANYBODY WHO LEGITIMATELY WANTS

[01:35:09]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING A GOOD DEVELOPER. FOLKS IF YOU DON'T ASK SPECIFICALLY THE PEOPLE, YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR NOT GOING TO GET YOUR ANSWERS. THANK YOU. MRS HUMOR. IS CHRIS CHRISTIE. YES I APPLAUD YOU ON YOUR REMARKS. THOSE WERE I TRULY HOPE THAT YOUR REMARKS ARE AN EXAMPLE OF THE WAY MARYSVILLE GROWS FURTHER. I NEVER AS AND. YOU KNOW, AND ALL DUE RESPECT FOR EVERYBODY WHO LIVES IN BUXTON MEADOWS. I WATCHED BUCKS TO MEADOWS GROW AND IT'S A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD. IT REALLY IS. I UNDERSTAND THE SURROUNDINGS. AND I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES THAT GROWTH PRESENTS. AND SOONER OR LATER IMPACTS US ALL. UH AND. HOW DOES IT IMPACT US? WE HOPE IT'S FAVORABLE, NOT UNFAVORABLE. SO THESE DEVELOPERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. THEY'VE BEEN AT IT FOR YEARS. THE BUFFERS OR WHAT YOU HAVE TO COUNT ON. MAKE SURE YOU GO TO THE MEETINGS WHERE THE DEVELOPMENTS ARE BEING BEING DISCUSSED AND MAKE SURE YOU'RE HURT IN THOSE PLACES. SO UM, I WON'T BE AT ANY FURTHER MEETINGS. BUT IT'S BEEN A REAL PLEASURE. AND THESE ARE DIFFICULT CHOICES. AND TO MY TO ZACK, WHO'S WHO'S FOLLOWING ME? GOOD LUCK GOING FORWARD. WE'RE COUNTING ON YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MR EASE. THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY WHO SPOKE TONIGHT I'VE BEEN OUT BUCKS FOR MANY OF THOSE MANY TIMES IN THE 30 YEARS. I'VE LIVED HERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA OF FRIENDS AND FORMER COWORKERS WHO HAVE LIVED IN THAT AREA, SO I UNDERSTAND. YOU KNOW THE AREA AND WHAT YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING AT , UM, ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER TONIGHT WAS THE AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT HAS BEEN MADE BY THE CITY TO SERVE THAT AREA TALKING ABOUT THE WATER CAPACITY IN THE WASTEWATER CAPACITY, AND I THINK, TERRY YOU MENTIONED $15.5 MILLION FOR THE TO REPLACE THE WE HAD TO REPLACE A WASTEWATER PUMP STATION HERE IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO. AND WHEN WE DID THAT WE RELOCATED IT AND EXPANDED. THE CAPACITY TO SERVE THIS AREA. AND I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, IF THAT $15.5 MILLION IS NOT PAID BACK BY THE GROWTH IN THE AREA BY THE CAPACITY FEES AND SO FORTH. UM WHAT WOULD THE THAT KIND OF IMPACT TAKE TO PAY IT BACK THROUGH? LIKE USER RATES. YEAH TO THROUGH OUR EXISTING USER RATES, THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE INCREASE. IN ORDER TO PAY AND THAT IS JUST TO ASSUME THAT THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL CUSTOMERS OR ADDITIONAL USAGE ON THE SYSTEM, SO THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE NOW. WHERE THOSE USER RATES WOULD HAVE TO BE ADJUSTED, YOU KNOW, BUT, UH, TO DO A 10 YEAR, PAYBACK ON THAT WORK ON THAT 15.5 MILLION THAT BE A 13.5% RATE INCREASE FOR A 10

[01:40:06]

POTENTIALLY STEPS THAT THEY CAN TAKE WHAT COMMUNICATION WITH YOU , UM WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GIVE YOU THE FLOOR FOR FIVE MINUTES. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE ALL THE COMMENTS BARBARIC ROCKFORD DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS RD I SO I APPRECIATE ALL THE COMMENTS, ETCETERA, AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH PEOPLE ON THIS EAST SIDE DEVELOPMENT FOR PROBABLY A YEAR, MAYBE EVEN 18 MONTHS. WE'VE TAKEN A LOT OF COMMENTS INTO THE PLANS THAT YOU ARE SEEING FORTHCOMING PLANS THAT ARE ARE FORTHCOMING. THERE'S JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ON THE EAST SIDE. FIRST OFF TO MASTER PLAN. AN AREA LIKE THIS IS A GIFT. YOU'VE GOT FIVE LARGE LANDOWNERS OVER THERE THAT ONLY ABOUT 12 TO 1400 ACRES OF THAT GROUND. IT'S NOT EASY TO MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENTS. MOST DEVELOPMENTS HAPPEN IN A PIECEMEAL PROCESS. NO CONTINUE TO CONTINUOUS WALKWAYS. NO PLANS . YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NEXT FIELD IS GOING TO BE. UM THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE IS BRINGING THROUGH AN ANNEXATION PROCESS FOR THE EAST SIDE. UNFORTUNATELY THE LIMITATION OF 500 ACRES ON TYPE AND TYPE TWO INDEXATION LIMITS US. SO WE HAVE TO BRING IT THROUGH. PIECES INDEXATION THREE WILL BE MORE HOUSING AND THE GALE, THE PERSON THAT REDFORD GAIL MENTIONED HOUSING. THERE'S RETAIL INVOLVED IN THE FUTURE AND THOSE SORT OF THINGS AND WE ARE FOLLOWING YOUR COM PLAN. UM ONE THING I'D LIKE TO SAY ON THE FINANCIAL PACKAGE. THE FINANCIAL PACKAGE WILL DIFFER BY WIDE VARIATIONS. WE ARE INTRODUCING A NEW TOOL TO MARYSVILLE, WHICH IS THE COMMUNITY AUTHORITY THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO PUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND A LOT OF THE COSTS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED ON THE BUSINESSES AND THE RESIDENTS THAT WILL LIVE THERE IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS ADDITIONAL MILLAGE. IT'S NOT QUITE ATTACKS, BUT IT'S AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE IN THE VILLAGE THAT GOES ON TOP THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS WILL PAY ON THE RESIDENTIAL. IT WILL BE 4.5 TO 5.5 MILLS AND ON THE THAT WILL BE OVER 30 YEAR PERIOD 40 YEAR PERIOD OF TIME. AND ON THE INDUSTRIAL TO BE 9.5, AND IT WILL BE THERE FOREVER ON THOSE BUSINESSES. THAT'S HOW WE CAN MAKE UP PAYMENTS TO SCHOOLS AND SERVICES, POLICE FIRE AND THE OTHER SERVICES THAT ARE THERE, SO IT'S A UNIQUE THING, BUT THOSE PACKAGES ARE PUT TOGETHER YET WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH THE NEW CITY COUNCIL. WE'RE GONNA WORK WITH STAFF AND WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH A LOT OF ESPECIALLY THE SCHOOLS AND THE OTHER REPRESENTATIVES IN THIS CITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE BRING THOSE PACKAGES THROUGH, WE'RE ALL STANDING TOGETHER AND SAYING THIS IS GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY. UM WITH ME TONIGHT IS THE NORMANDY COMPANY. I THINK THEY WANTED TO STAY HERE. THANK YOU BORROWED AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. MY NAME IS AARON UNDERHILL. I'M GONNA ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY AND HAD FOR 20 YEARS REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A PART OF THE PROJECT WITH BARTON. HIS TEAM. UM I DO CALL IT A PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY . I THINK THAT THEIR WORK IN THEIR DEVELOPMENTS THAT THEY'VE BEEN A PART OF SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES, SOME SOME REALLY BIG NAMES AND QUALITY NAMES THAT WILL BE HOPEFULLY MEMBERS OF YOUR COMMUNITY. FOR A LONG TIME TO COME. BUT WE DO HAVE TO SET THE TABLE WITH THE RULES OF THE GAME WITH THE ZONING AND THE ANNEXATION, ETCETERA. I WANTED TO REITERATE A COUPLE OF THINGS ONE THE TERM INDUSTRIAL HAS A BROAD USE. I THINK YOU'LL SEE THAT. UM IF YOU WERE EVER TO, FOR INSTANCE, VISIT THE NEW ALBANY INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PARK. THERE ARE A VARIETY OF USES THERE, AND MANY OF THEM ARE VERY MOST OF THEM ARE VERY CLEAN

[01:45:02]

THOSE PREVIOUSLY. UM WE'RE HAPPY TO TAKE PHONE CALLS OR MEET WHENEVER ANYBODY WOULD LIKE AND DO WANT TO BE TRANSPARENT. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT.

WELCOME. PLEASE MR BURBEY. YES MR REEMS? YES MR SEYMOUR. MRS GROUP? YES YES. AT THIS POINT IN THIS ONE WILL BE TABLED. GET OUT TO THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. HEY COMMENTS OF THE CITY MANAGER.

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

GROWTH UH, BELIEVE DEB GROWTH WAS ON THE CITY COUNCIL WHEN I WAS HIRED AND 4011 AND BUT I WANTED TO THANK, UH EACH OF THOSE COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR, UM. WORKING AT WITH US AND THE ADMINISTRATION. YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T ALWAYS AGREE ON EVERYTHING. AND THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT WORKS, BUT WE WORKED TOGETHER WELL OVER THAT PERIOD OF TIME, AND I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH FOR YOUR EFFORTS AND YOUR WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH OUR ADMINISTRATION. THROUGH. ISSUES AGAIN. WHETHER WE WERE SUPPORTIVE OF EACH OTHER OR NOT, IT WAS IT WAS A GOOD PROCESS, BUT THANK YOU, I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATED WORKING WITH EACH OF YOU, UM BEING THE LAST MEETING OF THE YEAR AS WELL, I'M LOOKING FORWARD. UH, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF MEETINGS WITH OUR NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS. I THINK THEY WOULD, AKA THAT WE'VE HAD A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TO WORK THEM IN AS AS SLOWLY AND AS AS WE COULD OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, AND I KNOW THEY HAVE A FEW MEETINGS COMING UP IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AS WELL. AND BUT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH EACH OF YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL YOUR YOU BEING SWORN IN THIS EVENING, AND I THINK YOU HAVE ACCESS BADGES NOW, TOO. THAT'S REALLY THE OFFICIAL THINGS NOW. NOW YOU HAVE ACCESS BADGES TO THE CITY. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE COMING YEAR AND THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE THAT WE'RE ALL WORKING ON. UM OTHER THAN THAT, I JUST LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AS WELL. OUR STAFF. UM IT WAS IT WAS A VERY, VERY BUSY 2023. AND, UH, OUR STAFF IS PHENOMENAL ACROSS THE BOARD. WHETHER YOU TALK ABOUT THE SAFETY FORCES OR WHETHER YOU TALK ABOUT OUR PUBLIC SERVICES IN ALL THOSE AREAS, I I'VE NEVER BEEN WITH A STAFF THAT HAS THE STRENGTH TO THE LEVEL THAT THIS STAFF HAS, AND I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OBVIOUSLY TO WORK WITH WITH THE EXECUTIVE STAFF. QUITE CLOSELY, BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'D GO DOWN INTO THE RANKS OF ALL OUR OUR DEPARTMENTS AND THE QUALITY OF THE WORK THAT THEY PROVIDE TO THE COMMUNITY. AS I TOLD HIM LAST WEEK AT OUR LUNCH AND IS EXEMPLARY AND THEY HAVE THEY REALLY ARE A BIG PART OF WHY MARYSVILLE IS THE COMMUNITY WE ARE TODAY. AND WHY WE'RE APPEALING IN THE CENTRAL OHIO AREA IS BECAUSE OF THE WORK THAT THEY DO TO MAKE US LOOK AS GOOD AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. SO THANK YOU TO THE STAFF FOR THAT. AND WITH THAT, MR PRESIDENT, I'LL CLOSE

[01:55:01]

THERE'S ALSO ONE FOR ELLEN ACTUALLY, OTHER THAN AND BUT BEGAN A WATER RECOGNITION PRESENTED TO ELLEN SEYMOUR ON DECEMBER 18TH 2023. THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE CITY OF MAYSVILLE. YOUR TALENTS COULD HAVE TAKEN YOU MANY PLACES FOR THE CHOSE TO CHOOSE OUR COMMUNITY. AND WITH THAT WE HAVE CLOSING COMMENTS FROM OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS. WE'LL START WITH HUMAN RIGHT? UH THE ONE THING I WANTED TO MENTION WAS WE JUST HAD OUR FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING RIGHT BEFORE THIS. IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE THE INCOME TAX REVENUE NUMBERS ARE TOP 10 EMPLOYERS. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE TOP 10 IN TERMS OF WITHHOLDING THE NUMBER ONE COMPANY FROM LAST YEAR. SAW A ALMOST A 70% DECREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF TANKS WITHHOLDING THAT WE'VE RECEIVED HERE TODAY. AND THE REMAINING TOP. EIGHT OF THE NINE REMAINING ONES WERE UP. SO YOU KNOW, IT SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE THAT COULD BE POSITIVE, BUT IT WASN'T NEARLY ENOUGH TO OFFSET THE ONE AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT JUST REALLY ILLUSTRATES THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING DIVERSIFIED. UH, BASE OF EMPLOYERS. IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE WHEN ONE GOES DOWN YOU KNOW YOU WANT ANOTHER ONE TO GO UP AND KIND OF MAKE UP FOR THAT LOSS AND YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY, THIS NEXT YEAR WILL BE A LITTLE BETTER YEAR FOR THEM. UM AND. ANYWAY I JUST THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS VERY INTERESTING INFORMATION . HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT IT WAS FROM JUST THAT ONE EMPLOYER WE SAW ABOUT A $2.7 MILLION LESS IN TAX. WITHHOLDING UPSIDE TO THAT MESSAGE IS THE DIVERSITY OF OUR OTHER BUSINESSES HAVE OFFSET A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THAT. YEAH. BIG SUPPORT HERE. YEAH NEED FOR DIVERSITY AND BUSINESSES. I MEAN , IF THEY HAPPEN IN ONE COMPANY, YOU KNOW IT CAN HAPPEN TO OTHERS , AND YOU JUST WANT THAT DIVERSITY OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF INDUSTRIES, DIFFERENT TYPES OF BUSINESSES TO KINDA ABOUT THINGS OUT. I KIND OF FEEL LIKE THE MOST RECESSION PROOF BUSINESS IS DISASTER RECOVERY. BECAUSE IF THERE'S A TORNADO OR EARTHQUAKE OR ANYTHING, WE'RE STILL GONNA REBUILD, RIGHT? YOU KNOW, LIKE THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF INDUSTRIES WE WANT TO LOOK FOR.

BUT THAT'S A THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR TONIGHT. AND A WHILE. ASIDE FROM ECHOING YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT PRESIDENT, RUBY SAID, AND I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF DEVON ALLEN. I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR US OVER THE YEARS, AND THAT INCLUDES ALAN'S TIME ON PLANNING COMMISSION OR WAS A LONG TIME AND DESIGN REVIEW. THANK YOU. OKAY, THIS IS COAT.

HMM. I JUST WANTED TO THANK MARYSVILLE FOR A GREAT 16 YEARS AND WISH YOU MERRY CHRISTMAS.

HEY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LITTLE BIT LONGER STORY. I GREW UP IN THIS TOWN ON FIRST STREET IN THE FIFTIES AND SIXTIES. WHEN THE FILM OR BREAD MAN DELIVERED BREAD TO OUR HOUSE. IN A DIAMOND DAIRY MILKMAN PUT TWO GLASSES OF TWO GLASS JUGS OF MILK ON OUR DOORSTEP. IN OUR TOWN HAD A

[02:00:03]

YEAH A BASICALLY USED SOME OF THE PRODUCTS THAT WE HAVE, BUT THEN THE REST OF IT IS ALL THAT I WOULD SAY YES. I'M JUST VERY GRATEFUL BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T ALWAYS SEE IN THE MAY NOT ALWAYS PERSONALLY RECOGNIZE THEM. IT IS A GOOD THING TO KNOW THAT WE ARE LIVING IN A SAFE COMMUNITY AND THAT ALL OF THOSE SERVICES WHETHER WE SEE THEM OR NOT, THEY DO TAKE PLACE EVERY DAY IN OUR EMPLOYEES DO THAT SO WITH THAT I DO WANT TO WASTE THEM AND EVERYBODY ELSE. VERY

[02:05:06]

TO CONSIDER CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RELATED TO SPECIFIC BUSINESS STRATEGY OF APPLICANTS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE THAT INVOLVE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE, SO WE NEED A MOTION TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION. SO YEAH, OKAY. 80 COLD CALL PLACE. WE NEED A SECOND.
