ILD,AN REALL ISTRIVEY TO BE, A PART OF THE COMMUNITY, NOT JUST SOMEBODY WHO IS A RESIDENT HERE, I'M REALLY THANKFUL FOR YOU GUYS, FOR GIVING ME THE CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH MY SISTER, SHE'S GOING TO TELL, THE STORY OF MY NIECE, LENA. AND WHY CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH IS SO IMPORTANT TO US. SO HELLO. I'M STEPHANIE,[00:05:09]
THE MOTHER OF LENA BAUGHMAN. ON FEBRUARY 27TH, 2023, OUR 14 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ETMA EMBRYONAL TUMOR WITH MULTILAYERED ROSETTES. A GRADE FOUR BRAIN TUMOR. SHE UNDERWENT TWO SURGERIES AND SEVERAL OTHER PROCEDURES AND STARTED CHEMOTHERAPY WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF DIAGNOSIS. LENA WAS TOO YOUNG FOR RADIATION AT THE TIME OF DIAGNOSIS. IN HER CHEMOTHERAPY, TREATMENTS WERE OUTDATED AND INEFFECTIVE. THEY FAILED HER. WE FAILED HER. I'M SORRY. IT'S OKA.OUR DAUGHTER FOUGHT FOR HER LIFE FOR FIVE MONTHS BEFORE SHE LEFT US TO BE WITH THE LORD AT ONLY 19 MONTHS OLD. WE WERE BLIND TO WHAT CHILDHOOD CANCER TRULY WAS. WE DIDN'T KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS. WE DIDN'T KNOW THE FACTS OR STATISTICS. WE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT. WE THOUGHT IT WAS RAR.
BUT CHILDHOOD CANCER IS NOT RARE. IT SHOULD NOT BECOME. IT SHOULD NOT COME TO OUR CHILDREN, OUR LOVED ONES BEING AFFECTED BEFORE WE ARE EDUCATED ON THE FACTS OR LACK OF FUNDING AND RESEARCH THAT FOLLOWS. I BELIEVE IF THERE WERE MORE FUNDING AND BETTER TREATMENT OPTIONS. LENA WOULD STILL BE HERE TODAY. IF EVERYONE WAS AWARE OF CHILDHOOD CANCER AND THE DEVASTATING IMPACT IT HAS ON HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN PER YEAR. IT WOULD SAVE MANY, MANY PRECIOUS AND IRREPLACEABLE LITTLE LIVES. OUR CHILDREN NEED US TO ADVOCATE FOR THEM. THEY NEED US TO DO OUR PART AND CHANGE THIS CRUEL REALITY THAT ARE THAT THEY ARE FORCED TO LIVE OR DIE THROUGH. 4% OF FEDERAL FUNDING IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. IT IS CRUCIAL THAT WE DEMAND CHANGE. LENA CONTINUES TO FIGHT HER BATTLE THROUGH RESEARCH, AND WE BELIEVE SHE WILL CHANGE THE FUTURE OF PEDIATRIC BRAIN TUMORS SOMEDAY. OUR CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER AND TOGETHER WE CAN HELP LENA AND COUNTLESS OTHER CHILDREN MAKE THAT CHANGE. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ABOUT OUR DAUGHTER AND ADVOCATE FOR OUR CHILDREN. TO MAKE SURE. MR. PRESIDENT, I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO ENTER THAT INTO THE MINUTES. PLEASE IT'S ALL IN FAVOR. AYE, AYE. ADMINISTRATION REPORT. THANK YOU, MR.
[ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT]
PRESIDENT. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. A FEW THINGS TONIGHT. WE STILL HAVE A LOT GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT LET ME UPDATE YOU ON A COUPLE OF THINGS, OF COURSE, IT'S THE END OF THE SEASON. SWIMMING POOL HOURS. WE'RE ONLY OPEN ON THE WEEKENDS FROM NOON TO SIX, AND THAT WILL ALSO BE THE CASE ON SEPTEMBER 2ND, LABOR DAY, THE LAST DAY TO SWIM, WHICH WILL AGAIN BE FROM NOON TO SIX ON SEPTEMBER 3RD. THE DAY AFTER, OF COURSE, IS OUR TRADITIONAL DOG SWIM FROM 5 TO 7 P.M. SO IT STAYS. ON OUR OUR USUAL FOLLOW THROUGH WHEN THE POOL SEASON ENDS, ALLOWING OUR DOGS TO SWIM IN THE POOL. SO THAT'LL BE TAKING PLACE COMING UP HERE SOON, THE NEXT ITEM, CITY OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND. AGAIN IN OBSERVANCE OF LABOR DAY, MORE STUFF GOING ON. FEST FAIR, ARTS AND CRAFTS FESTIVAL IS SEPTEMBER 7TH IN UPTOWN MARYSVILLE FROM 9 A.M. TO 3 P.M. OF COURSE, THAT'S ALWAYS A VERY WELL RECEIVED EVENT, IT WILL AGAIN BE VERY BUSY IN OUR UPTOWN, SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FESTIVE FAIR FESTIVAL ON SEPTEMBER SEVENTH, AND THEN ALSO OUR 911 REMEMBRANCE CEREMONY, THE NINE OVER 11 CEREMONY IS GOING TO BE AT 9:50 A.M. ON THAT MORNING, JOIN US AS WE HONOR AND REMEMBER THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES ON SEPTEMBER 11TH. AND THAT WILL TAKE PLACE HERE AT THE FIRE STATION HERE AT CITY HALL THIS YEAR. SO IT'LL CHANGE UP A LITTLE BIT. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE AT THAT PARTICULAR EVENT AS WELL. I'M GOING TO SHIFT SHIFT DOWN TO JEREMY FOR SOME FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS. YEAH. THANKS TERRY FOR SOME UPDATES FROM MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS. THE CITY STREET CREWS ARE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON US 33 AND UPDATING SOME STORMWATER UTILITY INFORMATION WITHIN GIS, THE PARKS CREWS ARE PERFORMING GENERAL PARK MAINTENANCE AND PREPARING FOR SOME UPCOMING, CONCRETE PROJECTS AND PLANNING FOR FESTIVE FAIR THAT TERRY HAD JUST MENTIONED, ON THE WATER SIDE, THE CITY CREWS ARE PREPARING TO START A WATER LINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT, SO THAT'S GOING TO BE ON PARK AVENUE, WITH SOME INVESTIGATION. ALL OF THE WATER LINE ALONG THE FRONTAGE OF LEGION PARK IS GOOD DUCTILE IRON PIPE, BUT EVERYTHING NORTH AND TO THE EAST ALONG PARKWAY AND GRAND AVENUES WILL BE REPLACED. SO, RESIDENTS SHOULD START[00:10:07]
SEEING SOME SAW CUTS AND SOME THINGS LIKE THAT TO PREPARE FOR, THIS UPCOMING PROJECT THAT OUR CREWS WILL BE DOING ONCE THE PARK IS SHUT DOWN. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A FALL PROJECT, AND WHEN I SAY PARK, I MEAN, ONCE THE POOL CLOSES, AND THEN THE AVERAGE FLOW AT THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT, JUST, JUST SO THAT COUNCIL'S IN THE LOOP, WAS RIGHT AROUND 4.6 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY LAST WEEK, WITH A PEAK OF 5.2, WITH THE HOT WEATHER, HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY, IS CALMING DOWN ON, WATERING THEIR GRASS THIS WEEK. BUT WE'LL SEE. WE'LL SEE WHAT THOSE RESULTS. WHAT THE RESULTS ARE THIS WEEK. ONCE, YOU KNOW, WE ALMOST HAVE DROUGHT LIKE CONDITIONS FOR THE WEEK, AND THEN FINALLY ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE, CITY STAFF DEMOED SOME SOFTWARE, REGARDING BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR FATS, OILS AND GREASES. AND THEN AS WELL, DID SOME PUMP MAINTENANCE AND PREPARED FOR A MAG METER REPLACEMENT AT THE WF, WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO KYLE FOR SOME UPDATES ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. THANKS, JEREMY. JUST A COUPLE UPDATES.THE FIRST IS THE STATE ROUTE 31, PHASE THREE PROJECT. SO CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND ALSO AT THE ELMWOOD AVENUE INTERSECTION. MAPLE STREET, JUST SOUTH OF THE ELMWOOD AVENUE INTERSECTION, WILL BE CLOSED FOR APPROXIMATELY ABOUT THREE WEEKS.
MOVING ON TO THE, PAVING PROGRAM, WE HAVE A CURB REPLACEMENT CONTINUING ON PALM DRIVE AND MILFORD ESTATES THIS WEEK, AND OUR CONTRACTOR IS HOPING TO START MILLING AND PAVING OPERATIONS ON CREEKVIEW DRIVE AND TARRAGON DRIVE LATER THIS WEEK. ANOTHER UPDATE ON THE PAVING PROGRAM. I'VE RECEIVED SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BUMP OUTS ON FOURTH STREET, SO FOURTH STREET IS WITHIN THE PAVING PROGRAM. THIS YEAR. AND AS WITH ANY OTHER STREET, PART OF THE PAVING PROGRAM, WE LOOK FOR WAYS TO IMPROVE THE CURB. SO WE DO SPOT CURB REPAIRS ON ANY OTHER STREET. THAT SECTION OF FOURTH STREET, LAST YEAR, ONCE WE PUT THE BUMP OUTS IN, WE DID RECEIVE SOME COMPLIMENTS ON SLOWING THE VEHICLES DOWN, BUT WE ALSO RECEIVED SOME FEEDBACK FROM RESIDENTS ABOUT THE BUMP OUTS BEING A LITTLE TOO SHARP AT THE CORNER. SO THE ONE THING WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IS KIND OF SOFTEN THOSE EDGES. JUST SO IF A IF A VEHICLE DOES HIT THE CORNER, THEY'RE NOT GETTING SLASHED TIRES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE BUMP OUTS BECAUSE THEY ARE WORKING AS AS WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD AND SLOWING VEHICLES DOWN. BUT WE'RE GOING TO SOFTEN THOSE EDGES A LITTLE BIT JUST TO KIND OF HELP HELP VEHICLES THAT MIGHT ACCIDENTALLY HIT IT. THOSE ARE ALL OF OUR UPDATES. LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. MR. PRESIDENT, I ALSO TONIGHT IT'S MY PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO INTRODUCE, THE B2 DISTRICT'S ANNOUNCED RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT OF OUR NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. AND DOUG MCCULLOUGH IS HERE TODAY, AND I'LL BRING HIM UP HERE IN A MINUTE. BUT FIRST, I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT A VIDEO THAT WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE B2 DISTRICT. PLACE WHERE THE FUTURE IS NOT JUST DREAMED ABOUT, BUT ACTIVELY BUILT, WHERE BOUNDARIES ARE BROKEN, WHERE COLLABORATION IS KEY, AND PARTNERSHIPS LEAD TO GROUNDBREAKING SOLUTIONS. THIS IS THE B2 DISTRICT LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE COLUMBUS REGION WHERE DREAMS COME TO LIFE. IT'S AN INNOVATIVE ECOSYSTEM THAT SPANS FROM COLUMBUS THROUGH DUBLIN, MARYSVILLE AND UNION COUNTY. BUT IT'S MORE THAN JUST A PHYSICAL SPACE SURROUNDING THE US. 33 SMART MOBILITY CORRIDOR. IT'S A SHARED VISION TO TEST POSSIBILITIES. COMPANIES HERE CONSTANTLY TEST AND DEVELOP CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGIES THAT SHAPE HOW WE WILL THRIVE IN THE FUTURE. WHY COLLABORATION? THE PRIVATE SECTOR, GOVERNMENT AND ACADEMIA COME TOGETHER IN THIS PLAYGROUND TO SAFELY TEST AND DEPLOY HIGH TECH IDEAS IN REAL WORLD SETTINGS. HOW MORE THAN $100 MILLION HAS BEEN INVESTED IN SMART TECHNOLOGIES? IN THE BETA DISTRICT, 423 STRANDS OF 100 GIG FIBER MAKE IT EASY TO STREAM AND CAPTURE DATA FOR POWERHOUSE COMPANIES. HERE INCLUDING HONDA OF AMERICA AND OHIOHEALTH. THE TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH CENTER'S SMART CENTER IS NORTH AMERICA'S LARGEST CLOSED TESTING TRACK. THE WORLD'S AUTO MANUFACTURERS TEST THEIR LATEST INNOVATIONS HERE BEFORE MOVING TO THE OPEN ROAD.
FOR EXAMPLE, TAKE EASE LOGISTICS WORKING WITH DRIVEOHIO, THE SMART MOBILITY ARM OF THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, THEY TESTED AUTOMATED TRUCKS ON THE SMART CENTER TRACK. THEN THEY SHIFTED TO TESTING ON US 33 BEFORE MOVING OPERATIONS TO OTHER AREAS IN OHIO AND INDIANA.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS OSU ACADEMY, WHERE THEY'RE PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES IN ORTHOPEDICS AND
[00:15:05]
PROSTHETICS TO ENHANCE MOBILITY FOR PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. AND THEN THERE'S MODULAR ASSEMBLY INNOVATIONS LOCATED NEXT DOOR TO HONDA, WHO SUPPLIES INNOVATIVE PROCESS SOLUTIONS TO AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. AND DON'T FORGET NESTLE, WHO MADE THE WORLD'S FIRST DECAFFEINATED CUP OF COFFEE. ARE YOU PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF HEALTH SCIENCES AND AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING, OR SHAPING THE FUTURE OF SMART CITIES? ARE YOU LOOKING TO BETA TEST YOUR IDEAS IN A FOUR SEASON? ALL WORLD ENVIRONMENT, OR JUST WANT TO WORK WITH SMART, FRIENDLY PEOPLE? THE BETA DISTRICT IS YOUR LAUNCHPAD. YOU'LL FIND A VIBRANT COMMUNITY OF LIKE MINDED INDIVIDUALS AND STARTUPS, AND AT ESTABLISHED CORPORATIONS AND PUBLIC PARTNERS, READY TO BOOST YOUR IDEAS. ALL UNITED BY A SHARED PASSION TO SOAR. VISIT THE BETA DISTRICT COMM TO ACCELERATE YOUR LAUNCH. SO I'D LIKE TO BRING DOUG MCCULLOUGH UP TO THE PODIUM. IF I COULD, TO INTRODUCE HIM. AND AS WELL, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE LINDSAY SANDERS WITH MURPHY EPSON. LINDSAY IS HERE TODAY, MURPHY EPSON IS VERY INVOLVED IN THE MARKETING OF THE 33 CORRIDOR AND THE BETA DISTRICT. AND THEY JUST DO A FANTASTIC JOB. AND I WANT TO THANK LINDSAY FOR BEING HERE TODAY AS WELL. YOU KNOW, DOUG'S NO STRANGER, TO OUR 33 CORRIDOR COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS. HE'S RECENTLY BEEN THE CIO FOR THE CITY OF DUBLIN. AND HE'S HE'S SOMEONE THAT I THINK WHEN WE LOOKED AT, ADDING A NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DOUG, WAS THE PERFECT CHOICE. HE'S BEEN ON SOME OF OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESSES, AND I'M JUST GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO DOUG, BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO GET A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT HE'S INVOLVED IN. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO ASK DOUG. GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. YOU'RE GOING TO FIND THAT MY VOICE SOUNDS MYSTERIOUSLY LIKE THE NARRATOR OF THAT VIDEO. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DID THAT, BUT IT'S REALLY COOL. AND, THANK YOU, TERRY, FOR, DESCRIBING. I NOW DON'T NEED TO SAY FORMER CIO OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN, AND THAT I WAS WITH THE BETA DISTRICT FROM ITS INCEPTION, BEFORE THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS WAS FORMED IN THE ORIGINAL GRANT WAS, COMING AROUND. I'M HERE SIMPLY JUST TO OPEN THE DOOR TO YOU, HAVING AVAILABILITY TO THE INFORMATION COMING FROM THE BETA DISTRICT. YOU ARE THE BETA DISTRICT. DUBLIN'S THE BETA DISTRICT, ALL 33 HIGHWAY TRC IS THE BETA DISTRICT AND IT HAS NOT HAD AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. AND NOW WITH AN INDIVIDUAL BEING NAMED, THERE'S SOMEONE WHO CAN COME BEFORE YOU, SPEAK TO YOU AND ANSWER QUESTIONS, MAKE OUR OURSELVES MUCH MORE ACCESSIBLE TO YOU. WE'RE REALLY DOING SOME FASCINATING THINGS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY AND THE BETA DISTRICT AND THE 33 SMART MOBILITY CORRIDOR IS ABOUT SMART MOBILITY, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THAT KIND OF MEAN. IT'S NEW, SO IT DOES NOT THAT GREATLY DEFINED. BUT I THINK OF IT REALLY AS THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY. AND WHEN WE THINK ABOUT MOBILITY, OFTEN WE THINK OF A PASSENGER VEHICLE. ME DRIVING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN HOME AND WORK, BUT I REALLY WANT US TO THINK MORE ABOUT CONNECTED AND AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES, WHICH WILL AT SOME POINT BE HERE, WE DO A VEHICLE TO VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS AND CONNECTIVITY THAT MAKES THAT SORT OF POSSIBLE. AND ALSO VEHICLE TO INFRASTRUCTURE. WE HAVE FIBER AND POLES UP AND DOWN 33 THAT DEAL WITH THAT. BUT BEYOND PASSENGER VEHICLES, WE REALLY NEED TO BE THINKING ABOUT PEDESTRIANS, WHEELCHAIRS, WALKERS, CANES, STROLLERS, BICYCLES, SCOOTERS AND ALL OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT HELP PEOPLE MOVE THAT BECOME PART OF A SYSTEM, AND THEN WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT FLEETS AND DELIVERY VEHICLES AND ROAD CONSTRUCTIONS AND OTHER TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION. WHEN WE'RE GOING UP AND DOWN THE ROADS, OFTEN CONSTRUCTION IS AN INCONVENIENCE TO US. IT'S SOMETHING THAT SLOWS US DOWN. WE HAVE TO GET PAST. BUT THERE'S A LOT OF SAFETY. AND, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF DEATHS THAT HAPPEN BECAUSE OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION. AND WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN A MORE SMART ENVIRONMENT, ELECTRIC VEHICLES, CHARGING OF THOSE VEHICLES, ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS, PACKAGE AND FOOD DELIVERY, MEDICINE DELIVERY, AND ALSO AGRICULTURE.WE ARE OHIO. SO AGRICULTURE IS A REALLY BIG DEAL AND IMPORTANT. AND THAT IS CONNECTED IN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES AS WELL. AND SO WE WANT TO KEEP THAT IN MIND. ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE INCLUDED WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SMART MOBILITY, PUBLIC SAFETY, DRONE PACKAGE DELIVERY AND MASS TRANSIT ARE ALL INCLUDED. SO WHAT SHOULD ALL OF US LOOK FORWARD TO GOING FORWARD, NUMBER
[00:20:01]
ONE, THE BETA DISTRICT HAS A COMMITTEE STRUCTURE THAT WE'RE TIGHTENING UP, AND WE'RE ADDING SOME ACCOUNTABILITY FROM ME IN PARTICULAR, TO THAT STRUCTURE. FOLLOWING OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, YOU SHOULD LOOK FORWARD AND BEGIN SEEING MORE PROJECTS, MORE EVENTS, THE CONVENING OF DIFFERENT, INDUSTRY VERTICALS, ALL HAVING TO DO WITH, MOBILITY. WE WANT THEM COMING HERE, WE ARE FORMING A PRIVATE SECTOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE, THERE ARE COMPANIES ALL THROUGHOUT THIS REGION WHO ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE TO IT, BUT WE DON'T HAVE AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE OR HAD NOT UP TO THIS TIME FOR THEM TO COME TOGETHER AND ADVISE US ON, ON HOW WE SHOULD BE DOING THINGS, WE WILL BE DOING A LOT OF, MEDIA AND YOU SHOULD BEGIN SEEING AGREEMENTS, PARTNERSHIPS, CONTRACTS, INNOVATIONS, AFFILIATIONS AND ALIGNMENTS AND PARTICULARLY IN ALIGNMENTS. THERE'S A LOT OF AEROSPACE IN OUR STATE. THERE'S A LOT OF INTERESTING MOBILITY THINGS HAPPENING. WE ARE NOT THE ONLY PLACE THAT DOES THAT, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO BE THE THOUGHT LEADERSHIP AND REALLY THE LEADERSHIP CONNECTING OTHER TYPES OF THINGS. ADVANCED AIR MOBILITY CENTER OF EXCELLENCE, THAT'S IN SPRINGFIELD, AND IN THE DAYTON AREA. WE WANT TO BE THE SOURCE OF THAT. ONE SUCH EVENT THAT'S COMING UP IS CALLED MOBILITY IN COLOR, MOBILITY IN COLOR. WE ORGANIZED LAST YEAR. IT WAS DESIGNED TO EXPOSE OUR WORK, TO BECOME A CENTER OF THOUGHT ON THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY TO ADJACENT INDUSTRIES AND MARKETS AND MOBILITY IN COLOR TARGETS BUSINESS LEADERS OF COLOR IN PARTICULAR, BECAUSE I HAVE I'M A PART OF THAT NETWORK, TO INVITE THEIR, AWARENESS, ATTENTION AND RELATIONSHIPS TO THE BETA DISTRICT, A MEDIA PIECE WAS ACTUALLY DONE AFTER LAST YEAR'S EVENT, AND THIS YEAR, THAT EVENT WILL BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 4TH AND FIFTH. AND I MENTIONED THIS BECAUSE ON SEPTEMBER 4TH IS THE PRE-EVENT. THE EVENING EVENT, IT WILL BE AT FADO AND BRIDGE PARK, KIND OF A COCKTAIL HOUR, BUT THERE ARE BUSINESS LEADERS THERE, AND I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE ALL OF YOU OR ANY OTHER ELECTED LEADERS THAT YOU KNOW OF IF YOU'RE AVAILABLE ON SEPTEMBER 4TH IN THE IN THE EVENING AT FADO, AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE REGISTER FOR, IT'S IMPORTANT WHEN WE GATHER BUSINESS LEADERS THAT THEY SEE PUBLIC SECTOR LEADERSHIP SAYING, YOU ARE WELCOME HERE. WE WANT YOU TO COME HERE AND DO BUSINESS. I CAN TELL THEM THAT'S THE CASE, BUT IF YOU CAN SHAKE SOME HANDS ON THAT PARTICULAR EVENING, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL, SO I'D LIKE TO INVITE YOU ALL FOR THAT WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WANTED TO KEEP THINGS SHORT THIS EVENING, JUST AGAIN INTRODUCE MYSELF, I AM AVAILABLE. I AM REACHABLE, WE'RE DOING SOME INTERESTING THINGS ON THE BETA DISTRICT. REALLY HAPPY TO BE SPEAKING WITH A BUNCH OF RESIDENTS AND CITIZENS LISTENING AS WELL, BECAUSE WE DO THESE THINGS AND PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE. HOW IS IT GOING TO BENEFIT US? WE'RE DOING INTERESTING THINGS. WE WANT TO BE A THOUGHT LEADER SO THAT PEOPLE AROUND THE REST OF THE STATE DO THEIR ADVANCES BASED ON THINGS THEY TESTED HERE IN THE BETA DISTRICT. SO WITH THAT, I'LL PAUSE FOR ANY QUESTIONS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I MIGHT ONLY ADD, MR. PRESIDENT, THAT JUST A REMINDER, THE DOUG SERVES FOR A FIVE MEMBER BOARD THAT CONSISTS OF CITY OF DUBLIN REPRESENTATIVE MEGAN O'CALLAHAN, UNION COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BILL NARDUCCI, MYSELF, REPRESENTING MARYSVILLE, KEITH CONROY FROM MILLCREEK TOWNSHIP'S ALSO A UNION COUNTY SELECTED REPRESENTATIVE, AS WELL AS ERIC PHILLIPS, WHO REPRESENTS THE MARYSVILLE UNION COUNTY PORT AUTHORITY. SO THAT'S THE FIVE MEMBER BOARD THAT CURRENTLY CONSISTS OF. AND WE MEET EVERY BIMONTHLY RIGHT NOW. THE FIRST, WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH, USUALLY 3:00 AND, AND, MORE THAN LIKELY, ERIC, ARE WE GOING TO SHIFT THOSE MEETINGS TO THE AMY, LOCATION? SO, YOU KNOW, I CAN KEEP YOU INFORMED. YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO ATTEND, IF YOU HAVE THE TIME, BUT, ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS IS A PERFECT TIME TO ASK, BECAUSE DOUG IS PROBABLY AS KNOWLEDGEABLE AS ANYONE IN THIS AREA. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I DO OKAY. THANK YOU, INITIALLY, THE ESPECIALLY THE, THE STRAND FIBER WAS SET UP TO EXPEDITE THE BUSINESSES, BUT THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT MAYBE BRANCHING IT UP INTO A RESIDENTIAL MEANING INTO MARYSVILLE, I KNOW THAT YOU'VE ONLY BEEN THERE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, BUT DO YOU SEE THAT AS A POSSIBILITY THAT THERE MAY BE FIBER AVAILABLE IN THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE? AND IF SO,[00:25:02]
HOW LONG WOULD THAT TAKE BEFORE THAT IS POSSIBLE? SO I GUESS WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT THERE ARE FIBER ASSETS ALL THE WAY UP FROM DUBLIN, ALL THE WAY UP TO TRC, AND THEY GO ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN. INDUSTRIAL PARKWAY. NOW THAT THEY ARE THERE, WE CAN NEGOTIATE AND IMAGINE AND PLAN AND THINK ABOUT DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE, BECAUSE THAT CONNECTION IS THER, SO THOSE ARE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAVE IN THE BETA DISTRICT. THERE IS A FIBER COLLABORATIVE, THAT'S MADE UP OF, WADE BRANSTETTER, AARON STOREY AND MYSELF, AS WELL AS DRIVEOHIO, WHICH IS OUR OTHER STEWARD OF THAT FIBER. SO THAT IS ONE OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT USES THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED, HASN'T BEEN BROUGHT UP TO ME YET, BUT THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE DISCUSS. AND, I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY IT COULD NOT HAPPEN. THERE'S NO TECHNICAL REASON WHY IT COULDN'T HAPPEN. WE'RE WATCHING VERY CLOSELY FROM MARYSVILLE. DUBLIN IS CURRENTLY DOING A FIBER TO THE HOME PROJECT, AND IT'S I'M KIND OF GLAD THEY'RE DOING IT BECAUSE WE CAN WATCH A LITTLE BIT FROM A DISTANCE, SEE KIND OF HOW IT HOW IT FUNCTIONS, HOW IT GETS ROLLED OUT. BUT I KNOW ERIN'S BEEN INVOLVED IN IN LOOKING AT IT, THEN MAYBE FOLLOWING UP NOT TOO FAR IN THE FUTURE, MAYBE DOING THE SAME THING HERE IN MARYSVILLE. BUT, IT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE INTO A LOT OF VARIABLES BEFORE YOU START RUNNING FIBER, IN AND AROUND YOUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY. AND WE'RE LEARNING QUICKLY FROM THE THINGS I THINK DUBLIN IS LOOKING AT, MAYBE A THREE YEAR ROLLOUT. IS THAT CORRECT, DOUG? THAT'S RIGHT, AND I GUESS WHAT I WOULD SAY IS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THERE WAS NOT A FIBER CONNECTION FROM DUBLIN ALL THE WAY UP TO TRC, ALL THE WAY UP TO EAST LIBERTY. THERE IS NOW. AND SO THAT MAKES SOME THINGS POSSIBLE, YOU GOT TO DIG DEEPER INTO IT, AND I'M SURE THAT THAT WILL HAPPEN. OKAY. THANK YOU.ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I JUST GOT A COMMENT, SO I'VE WORKED IN THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS. I HAD OPPORTUNITIES EARLY IN MY CAREER TO BE PART OF DEVELOPING SOME SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES OR MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES THAT ENSURED SAFETY FOR PEOPLE AND ENSURED THAT LIVES WERE SAVED. IT GAVE ME FULFILLMENT IN MY PERSONAL CAREER, IN THE BETA DISTRICT, ONE OF THE MOST FASCINATING THINGS THAT I SEE IS THE CONNECTED, THE VEHICLE TO INFRASTRUCTURE, VEHICLE TO VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE TO ANYTHING, THE VEHICLE TO PEDESTRIAN COMMUNICATION THAT GOES ALONG WITH ALL OF THIS FIBER. AND I YOU KNOW WHAT MANY IN THE MAYBE DEEP IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY SEE OR, YOU KNOW, TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRIES, WE SEE A SOCIETY SOMEDAY WHERE WE NEVER HAVE TO SEE A TRAGEDY, LIKE A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT HAPPEN.
AND I HOPE THAT MAYBE IN MY LIFETIME I COULD SEE SOMETHING LIKE, YOU KNOW, A TRAFFIC INCIDENT NEVER HAPPEN. IT IT'S IT MAKES ME PROUD TO KNOW THAT THIS REGION OF OHIO COULD BE ONE OF THE FIRST PLACES TO WHERE THAT COULD BECOME A REALITY. YOU KNOW, I COULD SEE MY KIDS MAYBE DRIVE AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, TRAGEDY, WHETHER IT'S FROM A VEHICLE TO A PEDESTRIAN OR VEHICLE TO VEHICLE. I SEE PROMISE IN THAT TECHNOLOGY. SO I THINK FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING TO WORK IN THIS REGION AND BE PART OF THAT, I THINK IT'S EXCITING AND I THINK A LOT CAN COME FROM IT. I THINK A LOT OF FULFILLMENT, PERSONALLY AND JUST FULFILLMENT OF HELPING OTHERS. SO THANKS FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING. APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENT. AND I DO THINK ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT HAPPENS. THAT IS NOT OUR, TRYING TO GET BACK AND FORTH THEIR TRUCKS. THERE ARE DELIVERIES AND ALL SORTS OF THINGS THAT TO MOST OF US OR MANY OF US, IT'S INVISIBLE. AND BUT WE HAVE TO INTERO IN SYSTEMO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE THAT WE'RE BUILDING FOR A GREATER QUALITY OF LIFE, FOR ALL OF US. YEAH. I WAS JUST GOING TO COMMENT ON WHAT SCOTT JUST DID, BUT THANK YOU FOR COMING IN HERE AND SPEAKING ALL OF US AND THE WORK YOU DO DEFINITELY DOESN'T GO UNNOTICED, YOU KNOW, MAYBE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, THEY MIGHT NOT ALWAYS AWARE OF OR AWARE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING. BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK ALL OF US ON COUNCIL ARE EXCITED AND HOPEFULLY THE FUTURE IS A LITTLE BIT SAFER WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY. SO I APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN AND HOPEFULLY WE GET TO SEE YOU AGAIN EVENTUALLY. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANKS EVERYONE. YEAH, YEAH. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE FROM ADMINISTRATION? NOTHING FURTHER MR.

IT'S HEARING OF CITIZENS. ANY CITIZEN HAS UP TO FIVE MINUTES TO SPEAK ABOUT ANY ITEM THAT'S NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO SPEAK TONIGHT? CATHY YOUNG, 425 WEST EIGHTH. SO RECENTLY I HAD A MEETING WITH JUDGE ROGERS AND JOB AND FAMILY SERVICES BECAUSE THERE ARE FOSTER KIDS THAT AGE OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND THEY LACK HOUSING. SO I THEN PROCEEDED TO BUY A HOUSE. IT GOT AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I WAS TURNING IT INTO A BOARDING HOUSE, AND NOW I CAN'T TURN THIS INTO A BOARDING HOUSE BECAUSE, PER MARYSVILLE CODE, I CAN'T HOUSE MORE THAN TWO UNRELATED PEOPLE AND GOD FORBID WE SHOULD HAVE A FOSTER FAMILY MOVE IN THERE THAT ARE RELATED. WE DON'T WANT THAT MANY PEOPLE RELATED THAT ARE FOSTER KIDS.IT'S BAD FOR THE SYSTEM, SO THERE IS NO ZONING CODE OR NO ZONING DISTRICT IN MARYSVILLE THAT WILL PERMIT THIS UNLESS IT'S A HOTEL, MOTEL, WHICH I'M NOT GOING TO BUY A HOTEL OR MOTEL TO DO THIS. SO NOW I'M STUCK. I'M NOT REALLY STUCK BECAUSE I CAN STILL RENT THE HOUSE, BUT THERE ARE A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT NEED HOUSING, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND I CAN PROVIDE IT. BUT THE CODE WILL NOT PERMIT ME TO DO THIS. THESE KIDS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO GET DRIVER'S LICENSE BEFORE THEY TURN 18. THEY HAVE TO BE LEGAL ADULTS BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE KIDS. AND THESE FOSTER PARENTS DON'T WANT TO TAKE THIS KIND OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE KIDS. SO THEY HAVE TO HAVE A HOUSE THAT'S WITHIN A WALKABLE DISTANCE. UNFORTUNATELY, DONALD, THAT'S YOUR DISTRICT. BUT THE HOUSE I BOUGHT IS NOT IN YOUR DISTRICT. IT'S IN STEVENS. SO WE NEED TO CHANGE CODE. AND I WAS GOING TO BRING IT TO PLANNING COMMISSION, WHICH I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW I WAS GOING TO DO BECAUSE I HAD TO BE AT WORK SESSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION. BUT PLANNING COMMISSION GOT CANCELED FOR NEXT MONTH. SO I'M DOING THIS A LITTLE BACKWARDS BECAUSE I NEED SOME OF YOU ON BOARD TO GET THIS CHANGED, BECAUSE THESE KIDS NEED HELP AND GOD FORBID, BETTY WHITE SHOULD NEED A HOUSE TO LIVE. IF SHE WERE STILL ALIVE TO BE A GOLDEN GIRL, SHE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LIVE IN THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE WITH OTHER OLD, OLD WOMEN BECAUSE SHE'S NOT A PROTECTED CLASS. IF THERE WERE PROTECTED CLASSES, I'M. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CITY WILL MAKE EXCEPTIONS, WHICH I'M SURE THE GOVERNMENT, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, APPRECIATES SINCE THEY'RE PROTECTED CLASSES. SOME OF THOSE PROTECTED CLASSES ARE DISABILITIES. ONE IS A DRUG AND ALCOHOL FACILITY. I COULD SET UP A DRUG AND ALCOHOL FACILITY IN MILL VALLEY, BUT I CAN'T HOUSE FOSTER KIDS. SO WHO'S GOING TO GET ON BOARD WITH ME? THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. THIS WILL BE ON MY PHONE BY THE WAY. EXCUSE ME. HELLO? MARYSVILLE CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS NICOLE BARBIERO. I AM A 27 YEAR OLD PROUD TRANSGENDER WOMA. I'VE LIVED IN MARYSVILLE FOR 25 YEARS, RAISED BY MY PHENOMENAL, PHENOMENAL PARENTS WHO HAVE LIVED HERE NOW FOR 26 YEARS. I'VE NEVER HIDDEN MY IDENTITY.
EVEN WHEN I WAS A CHILD. I LIVE UNAPOLOGETICALLY AND PROUDLY AS A WOMAN. I'VE BECOME TODAY MY YOUNGER SELF ALWAYS ASPIRED AND WANTED TO LIVE THE LIFE I AM LIVING NOW. BEING SEEN AND TREATED DIFFERENTLY FROM EVERYONE ELSE IN MY YOUTH WAS VERY HARD FOR ME MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. I WAS BULLIED AND OUTCASTED FOR BEING MYSELF RIGHT HERE IN THIS CITY. EXCUSE ME. MY CONCERN HERE FOR SHOWING UP TODAY IS THAT I DON'T WANT ANY OTHER PERSON OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, TO GO THROUGH WHAT I'VE HAD TO GO THROUGH. I WANT THE CITY COUNCIL TO WORK HARD TO HAVE SAFE AND EDUCATIONAL SPACES IN MARYSVILLE FOR PEOPLE OF THE LGBT COMMUNITY, THE ONLY SOURCE OF EDUCATION I'VE HAD FOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF WAS MY CLOSE
[00:40:02]
FRIENDS. I WANTED TO BE POSSIBLE FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE LGBT COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH. FURTHERMORE FOR THERE TO BE A PLACE TO SOCIALIZE, MEET OTHER PEOPLE JUST LIKE THEM, EXPAND THEIR FREEDOM TO BE WHO THEY ARE AND FEEL SAFE WHILE DOING SO.THESE EDUCATIONAL SPACES AND SAFE SPACES DON'T HAVE TO ONLY BE FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE LGBT COMMUNITY EITHER. THEY COULD BE FOR THE ALLIES, OR PARENTS WHO WOULD LIKE TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES ON HOW TO PROPERLY CARE FOR THEIR CHILD, WHO FEELS LIKE THEY DON'T BELONG. I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW THE OWNER OF WALKING DISTANCE BREWING COMPANY, TEDDY, FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. THE SPACE HE HAS CREATED FOR OUR COMMUNITY IS A BEACON OF HOPE. IT TEACHES AND SHOWS DIVERSITY IN THE MARYSVILLE COMMUNITY AND HONORS IT. I FEEL AS THOUGH WE SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID OF THIS, BUT WE SHOULD ENDORSE IT. DONALD, IT IS YOUR DUTY TO PROVIDE VOICES FOR ALL SMALL BUSINESSES OWNERS IN MARYSVILLE, INCLUDING TEDDY. I FEEL THAT IT WAS HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL OF COUNCIL MEMBER MARK REAMS FOR NOT APOLOGIZING ON BEHALF OF HIS WIFE FOR USING SLANDEROUS TERMS TOWARDS TEDDY DONALD. I FEEL THAT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HOLD THE COUNCIL ACCOUNTABLE FOR INTEGRITY. WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT TEDDY WAS COMPLETELY FALSE, SHE FINISHED. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THE COUNCIL WOULD SHOW MORE CONCERN AND RESPECT FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. WE CARE ABOUT THIS CITY AS MUCH AS YOU DO. WE JUST WISH FOR IT TO BE MORE SAFE AND WELCOMED. I HOPE GOING FORWARD WE CAN TRULY MAKE MARYSVILLE A PLACE WHERE THE GRASS IS GREENER. THANK YOU.
HEY, THEODORE VOLINSKY, 317 SOUTH WALNUT STREET. I'M UP HERE TODAY TO ASK THE CITY COUNCIL ONCE AGAIN TO ADD A DIVERSITY, EQUALITY AND INCLUSION STATEMENT INTO THE MARYSVILLE CODE, TO CREATE A CODE OF ETHICS FOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO FOLLOW THAT, AND TO CREATE A CITIZENS REVIEW BOARD FOR DIVERSITY, EQUALITY AND INCLUSION, I KNOW WE MET AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
STEVEN, I APPRECIATE AND STILL APPRECIATE HANK HAVING COME UP AND TOLD ME THAT IT WILL NOT BE MOVING FORWARD. BUT THIS DIVERSITY, EQUALITY AND INCLUSION BOARD, IT'S SOMETHING THAT BEXLEY HAS AS A BUSINESS OWNER. WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN FOR ME IS THAT THE MARKETING THAT THE CITY IS PUTTING OUT ON BEHALF OF THE BUSINESSES OR ON BEHALF OF THE EVENTS THAT WE'RE HOSTING, THAT BOARD WOULD GO THROUGH THE MARKETING MATERIAL AND MAKE SURE THAT IT REFLECTS THE COMMUNITY THAT WE ARE, AND WE ARE ASPIRING TO BE. THAT WOULD HELP PLACES LIKE THE BETTER, OR BETTER DISTRICT, AS THEY'RE LOOKING TO ATTRACT TOP TALENT, AND FOR ME, THAT JUST REFLECTS MY CUSTOMER BASE, WHICH HELPS GROW MY CUSTOMER BASE. FOR KATHY, THAT WOULD HELP FIND THE HOLES IN THE SYSTEM WHERE FOSTER CHILDREN AREN'T GOING OUT, BECAUSE THIS ISN'T A DIVERSITY, EQUALITY AND INCLUSION STATEMEN. AND, A CITIZENS REVIEW BOARD THAT'S NOT FOR JUST THE QUEER COMMUNITY. THAT'S FOR EVERYBODY. THAT'S FOR BIPOC PEOPLE, THAT'S FOR, FOR QUEER PEOPLE, PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. THERE'S A WHOLE HOST OF PEOPLE THAT HELPS, THAT IT HELPS. AND THAT'S WHAT I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE MOVING FORWARD IN THIS CITY SO THAT WE CAN REMAIN COMPETITIVE WITH EVERYONE AROUND US. AND I'M I'M DISAPPOINTED, BUT I KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE BECAUSE, I MEAN, LOOK AT TONIGHT. LOOK AT HOW MANY THINGS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP JUST TONIGHT ALREADY. AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE MAIN AGENDA. LOOK AT HOW MANY THINGS HAVE COME UP THAT A CITIZENS REVIEW BOARD FOR DIVERSITY, EQUALITY AND INCLUSION WOULD HELP. AND THAT'S ALL. THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING FOR. THAT'S, I MEAN, WE JUST NEED ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE CITY, AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH NEW RESIDENTS AND CURRENT RESIDENTS. LET'S CREATE WAYS SO THAT WE CAN FIND AND EMPOWER PEOPLE, SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, YEAH. THAT'S IT.
HELLO. MY NAME IS JULIA DWYER. I LIVE AT 1581 VALLEY DRIVE, AND I AGREE WITH TEDDY. I THINK OUR COMMUNITY WOULD BENEFIT GREATLY FROM, SOME KIND OF DEI INCLUSION IN OUR GOVERNMENT. EITHER OFFICE OF THE DEI OR A COMMITTEE. HOWEVER, IT LOOKS LIKE. I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY REPRESENTATIVE
[00:45:01]
OF OUR COMMUNITY. I THINK IT WOULD HELP US WHEN WE'RE THINKING ABOUT PROJECTS OR EVENTS, TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT IMPACTS EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY, NOT JUST US. IT WOULD IMPACT, ALL THOSE DISABLED PEOPLE, THOSE UNDERPRIVILEGED PEOPLE, THOSE BIPOC PEOPLE, THOSE QUEER PEOPLE, THE ELDERLY. IT THAT'S THE WHOLE PURPOSE IS THAT IT'S REPRESENTATIVE OF OUR WHOLE COMMUNITY. I THINK IT WOULD ALSO LOOK REALLY GREAT FROM A MARKETING STANDPOINT, BECAUSE A LOT OF CITIES IN OHIO HAVE ADOPTED SOME KIND OF DEI POLICY OR OFFICE, AND WHEN PEOPLE ARE LOOKING ABOUT MOVING OUT OF COLUMBUS OR MOVING INTO OHIO, THAT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE CONSIDERING IS HOW OUR COMMUNITY RESPECTS OUR CITIZENS. AND I THINK A DEI COMMUNITY WOULD REALLY HELP US. PROJECT HOW MUCH WE CARE ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY.THANK YOU. OLIVIA MILLER 252 SPRINGWOOD, I AGREE WITH JULIA AND TEDDY, SO I'M NOT GOING TO REHASH THEIR COMMENTS BECAUSE I AGREE WITH THEM, BUT I THINK THE THING THAT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD LAST MEETING WAS, A CITY LEADER KIND OF SAYING ESSENTIALLY THAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT A CODE OF CONDUCT OR A CODE OF ETHICS AND DECIDED IT WASN'T IMPORTANT. I DO JUST WANT TO QUICKLY SAY, I THINK THAT WAS A LITTLE UPSETTING, IT GAVE THE AIR OF BEING ABOVE THE REST OF THE CITIZENS BY NOT HOLDING YOURSELVES TO A CERTAIN STANDARD AS LEADERS OF THE COMMUNITY. SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I ASK THAT YOU BRING BACK TO THE TABLE FOR DISCUSSION. AND ALSO BE CAREFUL ABOUT HOW WE WORD THINGS LIKE THAT, BECAUSE IT CAN. I'M SURE THAT WASN'T THE INTENTION, BUT IT'S THE WAY IT CAME OFF. SO I THINK WE ALSO NEED TO BE CAREFUL HOW WE SAY THINGS. THANK YOU. WOULD ANYBODY, WOULD ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK? OKAY MOVING MOVING ON TO RESOLUTION A MR. MR. PRESIDENT, I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. CAN I SAY SOMETHING OR SHOULD I WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE MEETING? YOU CAN SAY SOMETHING IF YOU WANT TO. I PREPARED SOMETHING THAT I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO AT LEAST GET OUT THERE. SO BEAR WITH ME A MINUTE, SO I DO HAVE A PREPARED MESSAGE TO THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. SO HERE IT GOES, WE'RE BLESSED TO LIVE IN A COMMUNITY THAT HAS SEEN REMARKABLE GROWTH OVER THE LAST DECADE OR SO. WITH THIS GROWTH COMES NEW OPPORTUNITIES, NEW NEIGHBORS, AND, YES, NEW PERSPECTIVES. AS WE CONTINUE TO BUILD ON STRONG FOUNDATIONS THAT HAVE MADE THIS COMMUNITY WHAT IT IS, WE MUST ALSO RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPECTING THE DIVERSE VIEWPOINTS THAT NOW FIND A HOME AMONG US. OUR COMMUNITY HAS LONG BEEN A BEACON OF STABILITY ROOTED IN SHARED VALUES, FAITH, FAMILY, AND FREEDOM. THESE PRINCIPLES HAVE GUIDED US THROUGH CHALLENGES AND SUCCESSES ALIKE. AS NEW FAMILIES JOIN OUR COMMUNITY, THEY BRING WITH THEM FRESH IDEALS AND EXPERIENCES. WHILE THESE MAY DIFFER FROM WHAT MANY OF US HAVE KNOWN, THEY PRESENT US WITH AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITY EVEN FURTHER. IT'S EASY, WHEN FACED WITH CHANGE TO BE HESITANT OR EVEN RESISTANT, BUT LET US REMEMBER THAT OUR STRENGTH LIES NOT IN UNIFORMITY, BUT IN UNITY.
UNITY DOESN'T MEAN WE ALL THINK THE SAME VOTE, THE SAME, WORSHIP THE SAME, OR LOVE THE SAME.
UNITY MEANS THAT WE RECOGNIZE THE DIGNITY OF EVERY PERSON THAT WE LISTEN TO ONE ANOTHER WITH OPEN HEARTS, AND THAT WE FIND COMMON GROUND ON WHICH TO BUILD A FUTURE TOGETHER AND RESPECTING DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES. WE DON'T DILUTE OUR VALUES. WE AFFIRM THEM WHEN WE ENGAGE WITH THOSE WHO SEE THE WORLD DIFFERENTLY. WE'RE NOT COMPROMISING OUR BELIEFS. WE'RE EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD AROUND US. THIS IS THE ESSENCE OF A STRONG, RESILIENT COMMUNITY. IT'S PRECISELY THIS STRENGTH THAT WILL ALLOW US TO PRESERVE THE TRADITIONS WE CHERISH WHILE EMBRACING THE FUTURE WITH CONFIDENCE. LET US ALSO BE MINDFUL THAT RESPECT IS A TWO WAY STREET. AS WE ASK OTHERS TO RESPECT OUR VALUES, SO TOO MUST WE EXTEND THE SAME COURTESY. WE MUST APPROACH CONVERSATIONS WITH HUMILITY, RECOGNIZING THAT EVERY VOICE HAS A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE, AND THAT BY LISTENING WE BECOME WISER, MORE COMPASSIONATE, AND BETTER EQUIPPED TO LEAD IN THIS TIME OF GROWTH. LET US RECOMMIT OURSELVES TO THE PRINCIPLES THAT HAVE ALWAYS DEFINED US. RESPECT OUR NEIGHBORS COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY AND DEDICATION TO A SHARED FUTURE BY DOING SO, WE ENSURE THAT OUR COMMUNITY REMAINS A PLACE WHERE EVERYONE
[00:50:04]
CAN THRIVE TOGETHER. LET'S CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS COMMUNITY THAT NOT ONLY UPHOLDS OUR CHERISHED VALUES, BUT ALSO WELCOMES NEW PERSPECTIVES THAT WILL HELP US GROW STRONGER AND MORE UNITED THAN EVER BEFORE. THANK YOU. RESOLUTION A ONE READING ONLY TO AUTHORIZE THE[Res. A]
CITY OF MARYSVILLE TO ADVERTISE FOR LEASE. CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS PARCEL NUMBER 2900090410000 AT 117 WEST SIXTH STREET IN MARYSVILLE, OHIO. ADMINISTRATION THIS IS SIMPLY THE HOPE THAT WE PURCHASED, SOMEWHAT RECENTLY THAT WE ARE REQUESTING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO, TO LEASE THAT HOME FOR, AN APPROPRIATE USE AND AS, AS IT IS ZONED, OBVIOUSLY, WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE WAS A TAX PREPARATION PROFESSIONAL FIRM. THAT WAS THERE FOR MANY YEARS.WE DON'T THINK AT THIS POINT IN TIME THAT THERE'S AN ACTUAL NEED FOR US. SO WE'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO ENTER INTO A LEASE AGREEMENT FOR MAYBE A 2 OR 3 YEAR PERIOD FOR SOMEBODY TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE. AND THIS IS A STATUTORY REQUIREMENT FOR US TO SORRY, THIS IS A STATUTORY REQUIREMENT FOR US TO, FOR COUNCIL TO AUTHORIZE THE ADVERTISEMENT OF THIS PROPERTY, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE LEASING IT. AND NOT SELLING IT, BUT IT'S STILL THERE. DO CITIZENS HAVE ANY COMMENTS? COUNCIL GOOD. TIM THE, THE PROPERTY ITSELF IS A JUST THE FORMER HOUSE WHICH IS NOW AN OFFICE OR IS IT THE, THE PARKING AREA BEHIND IT AS WELL. WHERE, WHERE WHERE IS THE PROPERTY LINE DEFINED, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I, WE ACTUALLY HAD A LITTLE TROUBLE WITH THIS. I CAN GET IT.
IT'S ONLY POINT. IT'S LIKE A 10TH OF AN ACRE OR A LITTLE BIT LESS, I DON'T KNOW. OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD WHETHER THAT PARKING AREA BEHIND IT IS CONTAINED WITHIN THAT PARCEL. I CAN CHECK ON IT AND LET YOU KNOW. CAN YOU DO THAT? YEAH. DO YOU KNOW, TERRY, THAT PARKING SPOT THERE BEHIND. WELL, I JUST KNOW THE PREVIOUS OWNER PARKED THEIR VEHICLE THERE. ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR THE FOR THE YEARS SINCE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE. SO I WOULD I WOULD, YOU KNOW, WE CAN CHECK IT OUT FOR SURE. THERE'S VERY LITTLE CURTILAGE. YOU KNOW, IT'S A VERY SMALL LOT. THERE'S NOT MUCH ON, ON THE FRONT. RIGHT. SO BUT I CAN, I CAN COME AT 7:00 ON SATURDAY, ON FRIDAY NIGHT. AND I HAVE THE BEST PARKING SPOT IN. YEAH, RIGHT. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH IT.
YEAH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT. UNTIL WE LEASE IT OUT OF COURSE. RIGHT. SO YEAH, IT'S KIND OF TRICKY TO GET IN AND OUT OF IT, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IF IT IS CITY PROPERTY, THEN WE ARE THE OWNERS OF IT. IF IT'S NOT CITY PROPERTY, THEN WE NEED TO IDENTIFY IT AS SUCH. THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. WE'LL CHECK IT OUT. WE'LL CHECK. WE'LL CHECK THAT OUT. IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, I APPRECIATE IT. ANYBODY ELSE ON COUNCIL, MR. PRESIDENT? I'D MAKE A MOTION TO PASS THE LEGISLATION. ROLL CALL, MR. ROUSH. YES. MR. BORDNER YES. MR. WOLF. YES. MR. KIRBY YES. MR. BURGER YES. MR. HUNTER YES. MR. REAMES SEVEN. YES ORDINANCE A. FIRST READING TITLE ONLY TO
[Ord. A]
APPROVE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION FOR A ZONING CODE AMENDMENT TO PART 11 OF THE CODIFIED ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE, CHAPTER 1123 GENERAL. GENERALLY APPLICABLE DISTRICT REGULATIONS BY ADDING SECTION 1123.31 FARM ANIMALS. AND I DO HAVE A PRESENTATION TO PULL UP. OKAY. THANK YOU. MCKENZIE EVENING COUNCIL. SOME OF THIS WILL BE FAMILIAR BECAUSE WE BROUGHT IT TO COMMITTEE AND WORK SESSION. PLANNING COMMISSION. SO IF I GO TOO FAST, LET ME KNOW IF THERE'S SOME SLIDES AT THE END THAT'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. AS WELL, BUT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IS MOVE FORWARD WITH PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION TO ESTABLISH SOME ZONING CODE FOR FARM ANIMALS. AS WE GO THROUGH IT, WE'LL GIVE SOME BACKGROUND THE PROPOSED CODE AND THEN HAVE TIME FOR QUESTIONS AT THE END, AS MANY OF YOU MAY KNOW, WE'VE RECEIVED SOME COMPLAINTS OVER THE YEARS REGARDING SMALL FARM[00:55:06]
ANIMALS. NOT JUST SMALL, NOT JUST SMALL FARM ANIMALS, BUT LARGE ANIMALS AS WELL. AND UNDER OUR CURRENT CODE, THERE'S NO ZONING CODE TO RESTRICT OR REGULATE. THE KEEPING OF FARM ANIMALS IS STRICTLY THROUGH CHAPTER 505, WHICH IS ADMINISTERED BY THE DIVISION OF POLICE, SO COUNCIL TASKED CITY STAFF WITH LOOKING INTO WHAT OTHER CITIES DO. AND JUST DO A LITTLE RESEARCH TO SEE HOW WE CAN ADDRESS THIS. WHAT THE BEST WAY TO MOVE FORWARD WOULD BE.AND IN THAT WE'VE, FOUND THAT THERE'S A DESIRE FROM SOME PEOPLE TO ALLOW FOR SMALL FARM ANIMALS. PARTICULARLY ON RESIDENTIAL LOTS, SO IN NOVEMBER, WE WERE NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR, SO WE WERE AT PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICE COMMITTEE. FEBRUARY, WE CAME TO WORK SESSION. SOME OF THE COMMENTS THROUGH THAT WERE, YOU KNOW, CONSIDERATIONS FOR SERVICE ANIMALS, ARE THERE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS FOR LARGE ANIMALS AT THE STATE, WHAT WE FOUND WAS IF YOU'RE IMPORTING A LARGE FARM ANIMAL OUT OF STATE, YOU HAVE TO REGISTER THAT WITH THE STATE OF OHIO, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THERE'S NOT REALLY A REGISTRATION PROGRAM LIKE THERE IS FOR, YOU KNOW, DOGS WITH THE COUNTY, ANY PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, NOT THAT WE COULD FIND ANY REQUIREMENTS ON, THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT PROPERTY MAINTENANCE AND HEALTH AND CARE OF ANIMALS, WHICH THE PROPOSED CODE WILL ADDRESS. SOME OF THAT, MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ANIMALS, I THINK. MARK YOUR QUESTION WAS, CAN SOMEBODY HAVE SIX CHICKENS AND SIX RABBITS? AND THE WAY THE CODE IS WRITTEN IS IT'S SIX TOTAL. SO 6 TO 1, THREE, THREE OF ONE AND THREE INCHES THE OTHER, BUT DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF YOUR PARCEL, IT'S BASED ON THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, AND THEN THERE WERE SOME COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT TO GRANDFATHER AN EXISTING LARGE FARM ANIMALS OR OR PERMIT THEM THROUGH A NON-CONFORMING STATUS.
AND AS WE GET INTO THE PRESENTATION, WE'LL GO THROUGH SOME OF THAT, AT PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICE, THERE WERE SOME CITIZENS THAT HAD CONCERNS WITH THE NON-CONFORMING CHAPTER OF THE CODE, AND AGAIN, WE'LL GET INTO THAT AS WE GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, STAFF, WE WENT ONE WAY WITH IT. PLANNING COMMISSION HAD ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION. SO WE'LL GET INTO THAT A LITTLE LATER ON, SOME DISCUSSION ON, YOU KNOW, MINIMUM LOT SIZE REQUIREMENTS FOR LARGE ANIMALS, WHICH WILL BE PERMITTED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE AGRICULTURAL RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT WHERE YOU HAVE TRADITIONALLY LARGER PARCELS, AGAIN, THE NONCONFORMING STATUS OF LARGE ANIMALS. CONSIDERATIONS FOR AGRICULTURE PROJECTS LIKE FOUR H AND FFA. AND WE DID REACH OUT TO SOME OF THOSE GROUPS, GOT THEIR FEEDBACK, AND THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION WILL REFLECT THAT, AND AGAIN, THE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE AND HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERNS, I THINK ONE OF THEM WAS DOES OUR SANITATION CONTRACTOR HAVE, ANY REGULATIONS AGAINST DISPOSING ANIMAL WASTE IN THE TRASH CANS? AND AS JEREMY FOUND OUT, THERE'S NOTHING THAT EXPLICITLY SAYS THEY CANNOT DO THAT, MARCH. WE MET WITH, FFA AND FOUR-H, AND ONE OF THEIR CONCERNS WAS THE PROPOSED, ORIGINALLY PROPOSED LEGISLATION WAS TO ONLY ALLOW FOR A TEMPORARY EXEMPTION FOR THOSE PROJECTS OF LIKE FOUR MONTHS. AND BASED ON OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM, THAT'S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO EXECUTE THOSE PROJECTS EFFECTIVELY, ON TO PLANNING COMMISSION, SO AGAIN, WITH THE DISCUSSION WITH THOSE GROUPS, THEY WERE AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. THEY GAVE SOME FEEDBACK, SO THAT FOUR MONTH LIMITATION FOR VERIFIED AGRICULTURE PROJECTS HAS BEEN REMOVED. SO ESSENTIALLY, IF, IF A STUDENT IS DOING A4H OR FFA PROJECT, THEY HAVE A DOCUMENT FROM WHOEVER'S ADMINISTERING THAT PROJECT, YOU KNOW, IF THERE WERE A COMPLAINT FROM A NEIGHBOR THAT SAYS, HEY, THEY HAVE 30 CHICKENS, THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR SIX MONTHS, IF THEY HAVE A VERIFIED PROJECT, THEN THEY WOULD BE EXEMPT, AND THOSE DETAILS ARE FURTHER IN THE PRESENTATION AS WELL, THE NONCONFORMING STATUS, THAT WAS A BIG AREA OF DISCUSSION AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. ORIGINALLY WHAT WE HAD PROPOSED WAS THAT IF YOU HAVE THREE MINI HORSES AND ONE DIES, YOU CAN'T REPLACE IT, SO ONCE ALL THREE HAVE MET THEIR DEMISE, YOU KNOW THAT NONCONFORMITY, IS REMOVED, BUT BASED ON THE CONVERSATION WE HAD FROM THE RESIDENTS WHO HAVE THOSE MINI HORSES AND FROM MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THEIR DESIRE TO THERE WAS A DESIRE TO ALLOW THAT NONCONFORMITY TO REMAIN. SO IF ONE ANIMAL DIES, THEY CAN REPLACE IT. THEY JUST CAN'T EXCEED THE NUMBER OF EXISTING NON CONFORMING ANIMALS ON THE PROPERTY. AND, THE OTHER DISCUSSION POINT WAS ALLOWING FOR EXCEPTIONS, ALLOWING FOR EXCEPTIONS FOR SERVICE ANIMALS AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS. SERVICE ANIMALS ARE HAVE
[01:00:03]
PROTECTIONS UNDER THE OHIO REVISED CODE. AND WE WOULD EXTEND THAT TO EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS AS WELL, UNDER THE EXEMPTIONS PORTION, PLANNING COMMISSION WAS APPROVED. SIX.YES. ZERO. NO. AS ASHLEY MENTIONED EARLIER. AND THAT'S KIND OF THE BACKGROUND, ANY QUESTIONS UP TO THIS POINT? OKAY QUESTION. GO AHEAD. HOW MANY HOW MANY COMPLAINTS WERE WE RECEIVING ON A MONTHLY ANNUAL BASIS? 2 TO 3 A MONTH, MAYBE, THEY'VE SLOWED DOWN QUITE A BIT SINCE WE'VE STARTED THESE DISCUSSIONS. SAME SAME RESIDENTS, DIFFERENT RESIDENTS.
USUALLY IT'S THE SAME RESIDENTS, SURROUNDING THE LARGE FARM ANIMALS. IT WAS THE SAME RESIDENTS, WE GET QUESTIONS ABOUT CHICKENS OR RABBITS. IT'S SPORADIC ACROSS THE CITY. OKAY.
BUT IT'S PRETTY. IT'S SPLIT, ON THE CALLS WE GET WITH COMPLAINTS VERSUS THE CALLS WE GET ASKING, HEY, I WANT TO HAVE SOME BACKYARD CHICKENS TO, YOU KNOW, HARVEST SOME EGGS, SO IT'S KIND OF 50 OVER 50. SOME OF OUR GOALS, FOR THIS CODE WOULD TO BE TO ESTABLISH PERMITTED AND PROHIBITED FARM ANIMALS, ESTABLISH A NONCONFORMING STATUS FOR EXISTING FARM ANIMALS THAT WOULD BE PROHIBITED BY THIS CODE, ESTABLISH EXEMPTIONS FROM THE PROPOSED RESTRICTIONS.
AGAIN, FOR THE AGRICULTURAL PROJECTS AND CREATE A MECHANISM FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THE MINIMUM HEALTH STANDARDS, HEALTH AND SANITATION CONDITIONS AS THEY RELATE TO KEEPING SMALL FARM ANIMALS, JUST SOME DEFINITIONS THAT'LL BE THAT ARE IN THE DOCUMENT, IF YOU HAVE A COPY OF IT OR NOT. BUT, WE'LL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY SANITATION AND NUISANCE CONDITIONS, HAVE, SOME ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS FOR NOISE, CREATED BY OR GENERATED BY ANY ANIMALS KEPT UNDER THESE PROVISIONS AND ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES. SO IF WE GET A COMPLAINT, WE INVESTIGATE IT. WE FIND THAT, YOU KNOW, A PROPERTY IS IN VIOLATION. WITH THIS CODE, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT JUST LIKE WE WOULD ANY OTHER PROPERTY MAINTENANCE OR ZONING CODE VIOLATION, THE NON-CONFORMITIES I WENT OVER THIS A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, SO THE BIGGEST CHANGE AT PLANNING COMMISSION WAS TO ALLOW FOR, NONCONFORMING ANIMALS TO THE NUMBER OF NONCONFORMING ANIMALS TO REMAIN THE SAME. AND I THINK THE DRIVER BEHIND THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, THE FAMILY THAT HAS THESE LARGE FARM ANIMALS, THEY REACHED OUT TO, YOU KNOW, SEE IF THEY COULD KEEP THEM IN THEIR BACKYARD. AND THEY WENT THROUGH ALL THE PROPER CHANNELS, YOU KNOW, PRIOR TO THE ENACTMENT, PRIOR TO THIS PROPOSAL, AND ONE OF THE OTHER POINTS WAS, YOU KNOW, JUST TAKING AN ANIMAL OFF THE PROPERTY TO, YOU KNOW, TO A VET APPOINTMENT TO AN EVENT. DOES THAT, YOU KNOW, MAKE THEM LOSE THEIR NONCONFORMING STATUS. AND THE ANSWER IS NO. THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THAT, TO HAVE THEIR ANIMALS PERIODICALLY LEAVE THE PROPERTY. EXEMPTIONS. THIS JUST SPEAKS TO, YOU KNOW, THE AGRICULTURAL PROJECTS, AGAIN, THERE'S NO FOUR MONTH WINDOW FOR THOSE PROJECTS BECAUSE THEY TAKE MUCH MORE TIME THAN THAT, EXEMPTIONS DO NOT APPLY TO LARGE FARM ANIMALS UNLESS THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, IN AN AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT. KEY TAKEAWAYS, SOME SMALL, SMALL FARM ANIMALS WILL BE PERMITTED, SOME WILL BE PROHIBITED, LIKE THE NOISY ONES, LIKE ROOSTERS, GEESE AND TURKEYS. ALSO, THE LARGE FARM ANIMALS, WE HAVE CONSIDERATIONS FOR EXEMPTIONS, NON-CONFORMITIES, SAFEGUARDS FOR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE ISSUES. AND THAT THE PROPOSED CODE WILL NOT BE APPLICABLE TO SERVICE AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS. OKAY, TAKE ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM. I HAVE SOME SLIDES THAT WE'VE SEEN BEFORE, AFTER THIS, IF YOU WANT TO REFRESH YOUR I CAN SCROLL THROUGH THOSE, BUT IF NOT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YOU WANT TO GO FIRST, SO IF I REMEMBER RIGHT. YEAH.
THANK YOU. SURE, THANKS. MR. ANDREWS, APPRECIATE IT, IF I REMEMBER, IF I RECALL FROM WORK SESSION IN FEBRUARY, WHICH FEELS LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY, BY THE WAY, WE MODELED MUCH OF THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE AFTER PLAIN CITY. IS THAT CORRECT? YES. OKAY. AND THEN I DID HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY. SOME COMMENTS. MORE SO THAN A QUESTION. IT DID HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW WHAT WAS AT THE MAY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, WHERE IT WAS TABLED. AND THEN WE DID AFTER THE FEBRUARY, WORK SESSION, WE DID TALK ABOUT THIS IN OUR PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICE COMMITTEE MEETING. I HAD TALKED ABOUT THE KIND OF THE NEED TO CONSIDER THE FOUR H FFA, AND I DID WATCH HOW THAT KIND OF TRANSPIRED THROUGH PLANNING COMMISSION. THEY TABLED IT AND EVENTUALLY IT CAME BACK
[01:05:03]
IN AUGUST AFTER FURTHER MODIFICATIONS WERE DONE. SO THIS THING STARTED OUT AS A KIND OF A COPY PASTE, IF YOU WILL, FROM PLAIN CITY. AND I FEEL AS IF, IF THERE WAS RIGIDITY TO IT FROM, FROM MAYBE SOME PERSONS THOUGHT THERE WAS A LOT OF RIGIDITY IN THE LANGUAGE. THIS HAS BEEN IN MY EYES, IT'S BEEN MADE MARYSVILLE AND IT'S BEEN ADOPTED IN A LOT OF CONSIDERATION, I FEEL HAS BEEN PUT INTO GETTING IT TO WHERE IT IS, I WANTED TO JUST COMMEND PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBERS ON THE QUESTIONS THAT THEY WERE ASKING, GETTING IT TABLED, AND THEN THE FOLLOW UP HOMEWORK FROM THAT YOU GUYS WORK AND PUT TO PUT THAT TOGETHER TO BRING SOMETHING MEANINGFUL, SOMETHING WHERE YOU DID, CAPTURE THE OPINIONS OF MANY PEOPLE IN THIS. NOT NOT ONLY THOSE COMPLAINING, THOSE WITH THE ANIMALS, ALSO THOSE WITH CHILDREN THAT ARE IN PROJECTS, AND THE CONSIDERATION OF GRANDFATHERING THESE ANIMALS IN OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE, OR REPLACING THE QUANTITY. IF THERE HAVE THREE NOW, THEY CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE THREE. I JUST FEEL AS IF THIS IS THIS HAS GONE, A LOT AROUND A LOT OF CURVES TO GET TO WHERE IT'S AT RIGHT NOW. AND I PERSONALLY I FEEL LIKE IT'S A WIN WIN, THERE'S PEOPLE THAT FEEL THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES ARE BEING DISRUPTED, AND MAYBE YOU ALL WILL OR WON'T AGREE WITH THIS, BUT, THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES ARE BEING DISRUPTED BY MAYBE NOISES OR SMELLS OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE.AND WE ARE BIGGER THAN WHAT WE USED TO BE, WE HAVE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH HOUSING THAT IS CLOSER THAN IT WAS IN, YOU KNOW, 50, 70 YEARS AGO. AND WE'VE CONSIDERED THOSE WHO WANT TO MAINTAIN SOME ANIMALS IN THEIR YARDS. WE'VE CONSIDERED THOSE WHO HAVE CONCERNS WITH HOW CLOSE THEY ARE TO ANIMALS AND I JUST WANT TO REPEAT, I THINK THIS IS US MAKING THE CODE, MARYSVILLE, AND I FEEL AS IF IT'S A WIN WIN. SO THAT'S ALL I WANT TO SAY. BUT I'D BE CURIOUS TO SEE AND HEAR WHAT CITIZENS HAVE TO SAY IN OUR NEXT MEETING. SO DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO SAY? YEAH, I THINK JUST TO KIND OF ECHO MR. HUNTER, I HAD GONE BECAUSE THIS INITIALLY STARTED OUT IN FEBRUARY DURING MY FIRST, WORKING SESSION, WHERE WE WERE DISCUSSING THE MANY HORSES HERE AND HERE IN TOWN. AND, YOU KNOW, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO OUT TO AND I'LL LEAVE THE RESIDENTS NAME, YOU KNOW, ANONYMOUS. BUT I WENT OUT TO THE HOME AND I TOOK MY NOW SEVEN YEAR OLD WITH ME. AND BOY, DID HE LOVE WALKING THE HORSE AROUND THE BACKYARD. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU PULLED UP TO THE TO THE HOUSE AND, YOU KNOW, THE IT'S ALL FENCED UP. YOU'D NEVER KNOW THAT THERE WERE HORSES BEHIND THERE. SO I WAS VERY MUCH ANTI WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO DO, TAKING AWAY PEOPLE'S PROPERTY RIGHTS. RIGHT SO TO ECHO MR. HUNTER I APPRECIATE THE EXEMPTIONS. I THINK THE ORIGINAL DRAFT WAS HEY YOU CAN HAVE THESE IN THIS INSTANCE THESE MANY HORSES UNTIL THEY ALL PASS AND THEN YOU'RE YOU'RE DONE. RIGHT, AND I WAS REALLY IRRITATED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WHEN I WENT OVER TO THE RESIDENCE AND I GOT TO WATCH MY SON, YOU KNOW, PET THE HORSE, WALK IT AROUND THE YARD, AND THEN HEAR WHAT THE RESIDENTS WERE DOING FOR THE FOR FOLKS OR KIDS, YOU KNOW, AND, YOU KNOW, LEASING THE, THE, THE, THE HORSES OUT FOR A DOLLAR, RIGHT.
FOR, FOR PROJECTS, YOU KNOW, DOING, YOU KNOW, SLEIGH RIDES IN THE, IN THE WINTERTIME. RIGHT.
BUILDING THAT SENSE OF COMMUNITY. I WAS I WAS A LITTLE BIT ANXIOUS ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING TO BE PUT INTO THIS CODE, BUT I BUT I THINK THAT THIS IS KIND OF THAT HAPPY MEDIUM, YOU KNOW, WHERE, WHERE WE'VE GIVEN AND WE'VE TAKEN TO SOME DEGREE. BUT AT THE END, AT THE END OF THE DAY, I FEEL THAT IT'S FAIR AND REASONABLE. THANK YOU. THANK YO. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING THEY WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT? OKAY HEARING NONE. THIS WILL BE BACK FOR SECOND READING PUBLIC
[Ord. B]
HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 9TH. ORDINANCE BE FIRST READING BY TITLE ONLY TO APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT TO CREATE THE MARYSVILLE JEROME TOWNSHIP JOINT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, AUTHORIZING THE INCLUSION OF CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PROPERTY WITHIN SAID DISTRICT, KNOWN AS THE KROGER OUT PARCEL IN JEROME. PROFESSIONAL PARK EXPANSION AMENDMENT. AND I DO HAVE A MAP TO PULL UP. MR. PHILLIPS, ARE YOU SPEAKING? YEAH, THIS. YOU KNOW, ERIC'S GOING TO SHOW YOU THIS IS, WHEN WE ADD PROPERTY TO OUR JET AREAS, THIS IS GOING TO BE CUSTOMARY MOVING FORWARD. SO WE HAVE A COUPLE PROPERTIES TO BRING BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. ON THE NEXT TWO PIECES OF LEGISLATION.ERIC, YOU GOT IT. YEAH. THANK YOU TERRY. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. COUNCIL MEMBERS. SO
[01:10:03]
WE ENTERED INTO A CETA COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, BACK IN 2020. AND THEN ALSO UPDATED IN 2022 AS PART OF THAT AGREEMENT WITH JEROME TOWNSHIP. IT ALLOWS US TO CREATE BASICALLY AN AREA WHERE IF THEY NEED WATER AND SEWER, IT TRIGGERS THE NEED FOR THEM TO COME INTO THE JOINT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CALLED A JED. TOO MANY ACRONYMS. I KNOW, BUT WHAT THAT DOES IS ALLOW US TO COLLECT INCOME TAX FOR, EMPLOYEE WITHHOLDING AS WELL AS NET CORPORATE PROFIT TAXES FOR COMPANIES WITH THE GOAL OF PUTTING THAT MONEY BACK INTO INFRASTRUCTURE. SO AND THAT'S WHAT WE AND WE COME BACK WHEN WE ADD PROPERTIES. EACH BODY THE JEROME TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES AND THE MARYSVILLE CITY COUNCIL HAVE TO ADOPT AND ACCEPT NEW PROPERTIES AS THEY COME IN. SO TONIGHT WE'RE WE'RE TAKING WE'RE BRINGING IN PROPERTIES NINE AND PROPERTIES TEN INTO THE JET. SO IT'S A SLOW. AND FIRST AND FOREMOST JETS ARE NOT GOING TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS TOMORROW. THEY'RE A FOUNDATIONAL, YOU KNO, EXERCISE THAT TAKES TIME TO BUILD UP INCOME TAXES TO BASICALLY PUT INTO INFRASTRUCTURE. ERIC, IF I CAN.THAT'S A PERFECT LEAD IN, BRAD, CAN YOU GIVE THE CITY COUNCIL A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT JED FUNDS WE'VE RECEIVED UP TO THIS POINT BASED OFF PROPERTIES? YEAH SO THE OBVIOUSLY ALL THE INCOME TAXES COME TO THE CITY AS PER THE JED AGREEMENT. 60% OF THAT GOES TO THE JED BOARD, 20% TO JEROME TOWNSHIP, 20% TO THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE. AND THAT'S AFTER, 3% ADMINISTRATIVE FEE TO THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE, SO FAR THROUGH 2024. THE JED HAS COLLECTED ALMOST EXACTLY $14,000 FOR THE CITY, SO. AND THEN THE REMAINDER, OF COURSE, HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTED TO THOSE OTHER ENTITIES. SO, THIS IS WORKING EXACTLY AS WE WOULD HAVE HOPED. IT IS COLLECTING INCOME TAXES NOT ONLY FOR US AND JEROME TOWNSHIP, BUT THE JED BOARD AS WELL. THANK YOU BRAD. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU TERRY. SO TEN, 15 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE MONEY IN INFRASTRUCTURE FUND TO SUPPORT MORE GROWTH. THAT'S GOOD FOR THE CITY BECAUSE YOU CAN SELL MORE WATER AND SEWER IN THE AREA. SO IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO CREATE MORE JOBS, CREATE MORE OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL. SO TONIGHT WE'RE ADDING TWO PROPERTIES. IF YOU ALL APPROVE IT AND THE TRUSTEES APPROVE IT. ONE IS THE KROGER WHICH IS LOCATED CLOSE TO SELECT SIRES.
THIS IS SELECT SIRES LOCATED HERE. THIS IS US 42. THAT'S BASICALLY THE KROGER SITE. THE OTHER TWO DOWN HERE IS THE LARGEST KROGER IN ALL OF OHIO ONCE IT'S CONSTRUCTED AND FINISHED. AND SO WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE THAT. AND IT'S GOING TO OPEN IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
IT'S WELL WELL UNDERWAY. AND THERE'S ALSO ACTUALLY A TRAFFIC SIGNAL OUT THERE AS WELL. BUT THAT'S ONE PROPERTY. AND THEN WE HAVE A SECOND PROPERTY, WHICH IS MEMORIAL HEALTH. I THINK THERE'S A SECOND FILE THAT WE COULD BRING UP MAYBE THIS YEAR I THINK IS THAT FOR THIS SECOND PIECE, IS THAT FOR THE NEXT THE SECOND PIECE. OH, THAT'S THE SECOND. OKAY. THAT'S THE SECOND PIECE.
SO THIS IS THE FIRST PIECE. THERE'S THE SECOND PIECE. WE GOT TO BRING TWO SEPARATE PIECES OF LEGISLATION. SORRY, BUT THIS AGAIN IS THE KROGER DO NOT HAVE THE ESTIMATE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES. YOU COULD PROBABLY SAY AT LEAST A COUPLE HUNDRED. SOME OF THOSE ARE GOING TO BE PART TIME. DON'T KNOW THE PAYROLL, BUT WE'LL FIGURE THAT OUT ONCE KROGER OPENS AND OPERATES AND WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE THAT. NOW, WITH THAT BEING SAID, THERE'S OTHER COMMERCIAL AREAS THAT WILL BE ADDED OVER TIME AS COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OCCURS. AGAIN, THE TRIGGER IS WHEN THEY NEED A WATER AND SEWER TAP THAT TRIGGERS THE NEED FOR US TO COME AND ADD THESE PROPERTIES SO WE CAN COLLECT INCOME TAXES. WE ALSO COLLECT CONSTRUCTION INCOME TAXES TOO.
IF WE IF YOU CAPTURE THAT IN TIME, IN TIME FOR THAT TO HAPPE. DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
NO JUST AN OBSERVATION THAT WHEN WE STARTED THIS YOU MENTIONED 2005 OR WHEN DID WE. WELL, NEGOTIATIONS BEGAN IN 2009, 2010. WE ACTUALLY GOT THE AGREEMENT APPROVED IN 2020. SO ABOUT 11 YEARS OF NEGOTIATIONS AND WE SAID AT THAT TIME, YEAH, THAT WE WOULD HOPE THAT YOU'D BE BACK ONCE A MONTH. OKAY SO THAT MEANS THAT WE HAVE MORE BUSINESSES GOING INTO THE JOINT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS. SO THIS THIS IS ONLY A GOOD THING FOR, FOR US TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON. AND IF WE ACTUALLY DO NEED TO EXPEDITE IT, I THINK THAT WOULDN'T HURT BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S JUST ANOTHER TOOL IN THE TOOLBOX FOR US TO GENERATE REVENUE BUT ALSO HAVE MONEY AVAILABLE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE. SO IT HANDLES BOTH WAYS. IT DOES. AND THE 20% THAT THE CITY RECEIVES. I THINK TERRY HAS MADE THE COMMITMENT TO REINVEST, REINVEST THAT INTO THE WATER AND SEWER, WHICH IS GOING TO HELP THE WATER AND SEWER TO ACTUALLY ADD MORE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA, WHICH GROWS MORE WATER AND SEWER. SO THE OTHER THING ABOUT THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY IS IT'S JEROME VILLAGE AND THIS IS THE FIRST COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT NEXT TO THE PRIMROSE, WHICH IS A NURSING OR, EXCUSE ME, A DAYCARE FACILITY. I'M SORRY. THIS IS A PART OF THE FIRST PART OF THEIR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. SO WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES COME ONLINE AND SEE MORE OF THOSE BEFORE YOU SOON. YEAH. BECAUSE IF YOU GO TO THAT PARTICULAR SITE, THERE IS ROOM
[01:15:04]
FOR A STRIP MALL AND THERE IS ROOM FOR SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL BUILDING OUT IN THAT PARTICULAR CORNER. YEAH SO YOU'RE RIGHT, AROUND 42. THAT'S AN ECONOMIC BENEFIT. AND YOU'RE RIGHT THERE CLOSE TO THREE, 4000 DWELLINGS THAT POTENTIALLY COULD USE SERVICES THAT ARE BEING PROVIDED IN THAT AREA. SO I THINK IT'S GOT A LOT OF PLUS PLUS SIDES TO IT. ABSOLUTELY. ERIC, MY QUESTION IS, IS, TIMING. HAVE WE MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT TAXES ON THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD BECAUSE WE'RE JUST NOW DOING THIS OR. ABSOLUTELY, WE HAVE IT'S WHEN WE PASS IT, THERE'S A THERE'S A LENGTHY PROCESS. THERE'S LIKE A 30 DAY WAITING PERIOD ONCE IT'S POSTED. SO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH A PROCESS. AND THE TRIGGER IS WHEN THEY APPLY FOR WATER AND SEWER TAP FEES. AND THEN IT TAKES SOME TIME TO GET TO THIS POINT. SO YES, WE'RE GOING TO MISS CONSTRUCTION INCOME TAX FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT. NOW IF WE GET THIS PASSED AND ONCE WHEN THEY'RE FINISHING UP THE BUILDING, WE CAN CAPTURE SOME OF THAT. IS THERE A WAY TO BRING THAT TIMELINE SOONER IN THE PROCESS SO THAT WE CAN CAPTURE THE ENTIRE CONSTRUCTION? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. AND WE PROBABLY NEED TO PROBABLY COME UP WITH A BETTER PROCEDURE WHERE WE CAN DO IT SOONER. BUT THEN AGAIN, THE TRIGGER IS THE WATER AND SEWER TAP FEE THAT STARTS ALL THIS. SO LET'S WE'LL TALK TO, JEREMY STAFF AS WELL AS BRAD AND MAYBE THE JED BOARD AND COME BACK WITH MAYBE SOME, SOME HOW WE CAN IMPROVE THE PROCESS TO EXPEDITE THIS. THIS IS ALSO PART OF THE CONSENT DECREE WITH THE TOWNSHIP THAT THAT THE JEROME VILLAGE AREA WOULD BE PART.ORIGINALLY, THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE JED OR THE CETA. NOW IT IS. AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE SEEING THIS. AND THIS IS ANOTHER THING THAT'S TAKEN A LITTLE LONGER TO GET THIS PROPERTY AND GET INVOLVED IN THIS CASE. BUT YOU BRING UP A FAIR QUESTION. WE CAN LOOK INTO. ANY QUESTIONS? I'LL JUST SAY SOMETHING. I USED TO LIVE I DON'T KNOW, HALF A MILE OR SO EAST OF THERE, JUST ACROSS THE DELAWARE COUNTY LINE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. AND YOU COULD ONLY HAVE ONE PIZZA PLACE DELIVER SOMETHING OUT THERE AND THEN IF YOU EVER WANTED TO GO TO A GROCERY STORE, YOU HAD TO DRIVE 25 MINUTES TO POWELL. YOU HAD TO COME UP TO MARYSVILLE AND GO TO WALMART OR MYER, OR YOU HAD TO GO DOWN TO DUBLIN. THIS KROGER IS GOING TO BE HOPPING, SO THEY'RE GOING TO NEED SOME EMPLOYEES AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN BENEFIT FROM THAT. MY SISTER IN LAW LIVES IN THAT AREA. I'M THERE QUITE A BIT, BUT THEY THEY NEED A GROCERY STORE IN THAT AREA. AND, JUST IT'S GOING TO BE PROMISING. I THINK, TO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY'RE ALL I KNOW. THEY'RE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO IT SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH WHAT I HAD TO DEALT WITH FOR, YOU KNOW, EIGHT YEARS OR SO. SO, YEAH, NO, I ALWAYS CONTINUE THIS IS THE PROBABLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST GROCERY DESERTS IN CENTRAL OHIO. SO THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO THEM TO SEE THIS PROJECT COME TO FRUITION. AGAIN. THE GOOD NEWS IS WITH THE LARGEST KROGER HERE, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE MUCH MORE COMMERCIAL, A LOT MORE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA TO HAVE. AND PLUS THIS WILL RELIEVE TRAFFIC FROM THE AVERY ROAD KROGER AND ALSO RELIEVE TRAFFIC FROM MARYSVILLE KROGER.
I'M ONLY GUESSING. SO I MEAN, THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THEY BUILD IT, YOU KNOW, TO RELIEVE BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH TRAFFIC WITH OURS AND WITH, DUBLIN'S AS WELL. SO AND THIS WILL DRAW PROBABLY PEOPLE FROM PLAIN CITY, RIGHT, AS WELL AS, AS DELAWARE TO, TO GO TO THIS, THIS LOCATION EVEN BETTER FROM A COUNTY PERSPECTIVE, PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE OUR COUNTY WILL COME IN AND SPEND MONEY AND GO HOME AND SALES TAX IS COLLECTED ON, ON, ON CERTAIN ITEMS. ALL RIGHT. SO AND DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO SAY THIS BE BACK FOR A SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 9TH. THANK YOU. ORDINANCE C FIRST READING TITLE ONLY TO APPROVE
[Ord. C]
AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT TO CREATE THE MARYSVILLE JEROME TOWNSHIP JOINT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, AUTHORIZING THE INCLUSION OF CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PROPERTY WITHIN SAID DISTRICT KNOWN AS THE OHIO HEALTH EXPANSION AMENDMENT. AND I DO HAVE ANOTHER MAP. SO THIS IS THE SECOND PROPERTY, AND IT INVOLVES THE OHIO HEALTH FACILITY, LET ME GO TO THE MAP HERE. OF COURSE. I THINK WE SEE US 33 HERE. THIS IS US 42, THIS IS KIND OF A MESS HERE. WE ALL KNOW, BUT IT'S, THE INTERSECTION OF 42 AND INDUSTRIAL WILL BE REDONE HERE VERY SOON IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS OR STARTED CONSTRUCTION. SO THIS IS THE OHIO HEALTH PROPERTY THIS AGAIN IS A COMMERCIAL AREA. IT INCLUDES THAT BUILDING. BUT THERE'S OTHER LAND THAT IT INCLUDES AS WELL THAT WILL BE DEVELOPED. AND AGAIN, THIS ALLOWS US TO COLLECT INCOME TAX AS WELL AS CORPORATE NET PROFITS ON ANY FUTURE USES THAT GO IN THIS AREA, AGAIN, THIS IS A CRITICAL INTERCHANGE FOR 33. YOU'RE LIKELY TO SEE ALL FOUR COMMERCIALS HAVE SOME TYPE[01:20:04]
OF COMMERCIAL AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. IT'S ALL IN THE CTA, WHICH ALLOWS THE JET TO OCCUR.MORE INCOME TAX FOR THE CITY, MORE INCOME TAX FOR THE TOWNSHIP, MORE INCOME TAX FOR INFRASTRUCTURE RELATED TO THE JET. SO IT'S A WIN FOR THE CITY AND ALSO THE TOWNSHIP. I DON'T KNOW, TERRY, IF YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING. NOTHING FURTHER. THAT'S CLEAR. DOES COUNCIL I MENTIONED EARLIER WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE KROGER. YEAH, TOO FAST FORWARD THIS IF WE DO WAIVE THE THIRD READING ON THIS, IS THAT GOING TO BENEFIT US IN ANY WAY AT ALL, OR WOULD YOU SAY JUST LET IT RUN ITS COURSE? I DON'T THINK THE TIMING. WE HAVE A POSTING REQUIREMENT, RIGHT.
YES. SO THERE'S WE HAVE TO DO THE SECOND READING. IT'S SCHEDULED TIME, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WOULD I DON'T KNOW THAT WE COULD. I THINK WE CAN WAIVE THIS THIRD READING THAT WE'VE ADVERTISED. IS THE SECOND READING RIGHT. YEAH. SO LET US CHECK WITH OUR YOU COULD WAIVE THE THIRD. LET US ASK. WE DO HAVE A POSTING AND APPROVAL TIMING THAT WE CAN'T APPROVE SOMETHING SOONER THAN TOWNSHIP. SO IT HAS TO COORDINATE A LOT OF LEGALITIES. IN THIS PROCESS YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE RC. BUT LET'S TALK WITH ROB MCCARTHY, OUR LEGAL COUNSEL, AND GET BACK TO YOU. WHEN'S THE. WELL, WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHEN THE TOWNSHIP IS VOTING ON THE TIMING ON THEIRS AS WELL, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO HAPPEN IN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME PERIOD. I AGAIN, I CAN'T REMEMBER ALL OF IT, BUT THERE'S CERTAIN CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS WE HAVE TO FOLLOW.
WE'LL DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT AS WELL AS THE PROCEDURE WHEN WE BRING THESE BEFORE YOU TOO.
OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THIS WILL BE BACK FOR SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 9TH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SO ORDINANCE D, THIRD

BURBY YES. MR. BURGER YES. MR. HUNTER YES. MR. REAMES YES. MR. RAUCH YES. SIX. YES. COMMENTS OF CITY MANAGER
[COMMENTS OF THE CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL PERSONS AND GENERAL DISCUSSION]
AND GO AHEAD. I HAVE NOTHING FURTHER, SO I'LL PASS THIS EVENING. THE COUNCIL, WE'LL START WITH MR. RAUCH, SO SHORTLY BEFORE I CAME OVER TODAY, I SAW THAT, DIANE ALLEN FROM THE SCHOOL SYSTEM HAD PUT OUT A NOTICE ABOUT A CHILD BEING HIT IN THE CROSSWALK AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AT THE SCHOOL BUILDING, THE HIGH SCHOOL, AND THE PERSON WAS IN THE CROSSWALK.OBVIOUSLY, KIDS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR DRIVING FAST AND NOT PAYING ATTENTION. AND SO THE CHILD IS GOING TO BE FINE, BUT JUST AGAIN, TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT SCHOOL HAS STARTED AGAIN. AND THAT IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE PAY ATTENTION, MORNING AND
[01:25:08]
AFTERNOONS DURING SCHOOL TIME AROUND BUSSES, ETCETERA, AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE OUT NEAR THE HIGH SCHOOL OR MIDDLE SCHOOL, OR ANY OF OUR ELEMENTARIES. SO, THE GOOD NEWS IS THE CHILD IS GOING TO BE FINE. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAD, MR. REEVES. I HAVE NOTHING TONIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. HUNTER. I'LL ECHO THAT. I GOT A SEVEN YEAR OLD WHO IS EAGER TO RIDE HIS BIKE. RIDE HIS BIKE TO SCHOOL BY HIMSELF. BUT I AM NOT AT THE POINT OF ALLOWING THAT.BUT JUST BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LOOK OUT FOR CARS. BUT, TAKE IT TAKES AN EXTRA 10S OF DRIVING MUCH SLOWER AND JUST GETTING YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD, TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. AND I THINK THAT SPREADS TO WHEN YOU START PAYING ATTENTION. YOU CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVERYONE DOES.
SO. YEP. THANKS FOR BRINGING THAT UP. I APPRECIATE IT. THAT'S ALL I GOT. I'LL GO DOWN TO MR. BORDNER. I'VE GOT NOTHING FURTHER. THANK YOU, MR. WOLF. I'VE GOT NOTHING FURTHER. MR. BURPEE, THIS MUST BE SCHOOL. SCHOOL NIGHT. WE ALL HAVE, IDEAS ABOUT THE SCHOOL. SO SCHOOL STARTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, AND, THEY DON'T HAVE THE FINAL CENSUS YET BECAUSE EARLY ON YOU HAVE SOME OF THEM THAT COME IN, SOME OF THEM THAT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO ELSEWHERE. BUT THE NUMBERS AS THEY WERE PRESENTED TO ME THIS MORNING THAT FOR THE 2425, SO THE UPCOMING YEAR IS 5739. IN COMPARISON WITH 5607. SO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS INCREASING BY 132. SO THEY ANTICIPATE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 132 AND 150 FOR THIS YEAR. AND THAT'S ON TOP OF THE 152 LAST YEAR. SO EVERY ACTION, WE ARE THE ONES THAT TAKE AN ACTIONS THAT HAS A REACTION AND THEN WE PASS. WE KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD TO LET THE SCHOOLS TAKE CARE OF THE ACTIONS AND DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE. SO I JUST WANTED TO, AGAIN, REEMPHASIZE THAT. 132 YEAH. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF, 100 ACRE DEVELOPMENT, ACROSS FROM MILL VALLEY, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF BOND SOLD THE COST FROM BOND SOLD ABOUT THE SAME NUMBER THAT SINGLE FAMILY. THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF THE KIDS COME FROM. AND I WOULD SUSPECT THAT IF WE LOOK AT THE MULTIFAMILY THAT'S GOING TO BE AT MILL VALLEY, THE 500, APARTMENTS ACROSS FROM BENNY'S THAT ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING FINISHED. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE KROGER, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE, EXPANSION NEXT TO, WALMART. YEAH, IT MAY BE GOOD FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THEY THERE WILL BE CHILDREN, AND THOSE CHILDREN NEED TO BE EDUCATED. AND IT, THE STATE WILL PAY THE MAJORITY OF IT, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT 5 OR $6000 PER CHILD. YEAH. FOR EVERY CHILD THAT COMES INTO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND. YEAH, THAT EVEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THEY, THEY IF YOU HAD MORE AND YOU'RE BURSTING AT THE SEAMS, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE DECISIONS TO MAKE. AND, I KNOW WE'RE A WAYS OFF FROM NOVEMBER YET, BUT I DID WANT TO EMPHASIZE, YEAH, AT THIS POINT, THAT THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE INCREASE IN STUDENT POPULATION. AND WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT, IT IS STILL GOING TO BE OUR ALL OF OURS. YEAH ALL THE PEOPLE, THE TAXPAYERS, THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ASKED TO HELP WITH THIS PROCESS BECAUSE IF WE DON'T, HEAVEN FORBID. YEAH, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME IS AND WHAT KIND OF EDUCATION THAT WE GIVE THE STUDENTS. SO THAT'S MY COMMENT ON THE STUDENTS TONIGHT. SO THANK YOU, I FIRST I WANTED TO SAY THAT I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM A RESIDENT WHO'S WHO IS IN THE ROOM TONIGHT. AND I HOPE MY COMMENTS WERE UNDERSTOOD. IT CAME FROM THE HEART THAT IF THIS RESIDENT CHOOSES TO RUN FOR OFFICE, I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO BRING HER PARCEL OF LAND INTO THE CITY LIMITS, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE VOICE AND THE PASSION AND THE DEDICATION THAT THEY HAVE FOR OUR COMMUNITY IS OVERWHELMING. AND YOU'RE JUST ONE HOUSE AWAY. SO, I WOULD THINK OF YOU TO HAVE SOME SERIOUS CONSIDERATION FOR THAT. AND THAT WAS NOT ME. JUST, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO GET YOU TO HUSH
[01:30:08]
THROUGH AN EMAIL. THAT WAS ME BEING SINCERE. THE OTHER COMMENT THAT I WANTED TO MAKE IS, I FULLY AM AWARE THAT ALL SEVEN, US OF US, WOULD NOT AGREE WITH THIS, BUT THE TALKS OF A MORATORIUM AGAINST RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT HAVE CONTINUED TO COME UP. AND IF THIS COUNCIL AND AS PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL, I AM. BUT, YOU KNOW, MY DUTY IS TO BE YOUR VOICE. AND IF YOU BELIEVE THAT A MORATORIUM IS WHERE WE SHOULD BE HEADED, YOU KNOW, AS PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL, I WOULD SUPPORT THAT, KNOWING THAT WE WOULD NOT GET ALL SEVEN OF US TO AGREE. WE ALSO MUST BE CAUTIOUS THAT IF WE PASS A MORATORIUM, LET'S SAY 15 MONTHS OR 18 MONTHS, WHATEVER IT IS, OUR CRITICS WILL SAY THAT WE ARE HINDERING ECONOMIC GROWTH. WE ARE GOING TO SHATTER THE FUTURE OF MARYSVILLE. WE WILL INCREASE HOUSING PRICES AND WE MIGHT EVEN BE UNFIT TO HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE.ALL I WANT, ALL I WANTED IS ALL. I THINK THAT IS THAT IF WE PUT A PAUSE NOT ON DEVELOPMENT, THAT WE HAVE ALREADY AGREED TO, BUT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, WE ARE LOOKING AT REBRANDING. WE'RE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING REDOING OUR ECONOMIC STRATEGIC PLANNING THIS WILL AND WE WILL FOCUS ON WHAT WE BELIEVE THAT COUNCIL IS HOLDING AS A PRIORITY ITS PROPERTY MAINTENANCE OF THE EXISTING HOUSING STOCK. IT'S THE IDENTITY MASTER PLANNING AND EVERYTHING THAT FALLS INTO THAT.
AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT IT'S GOING TO BE EVERYTHING FROM HOW A NEIGHBORHOOD SHOULD BE DESIGNED AND THE CHARACTER AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH IT, TO WHAT OUR PAINT COLORS ARE GOING TO BE IN CITY HALL, TO OUR ECONOMIC STRATEGIC PLANNING AND CREATING A STRONGER VISION. AND I JUST WANTED TO JUST LET EVERYBODY THINK ABOUT THAT. AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK. IF YOU WANT T.
BUT THOSE CONVERSATIONS, YOU KNOW, FROM WHAT I'M HEARING, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO DO, THEN, YOU KNOW, I'LL BE MORE THAN WILLING TO SUPPORT THAT, BUT I HAVE HOPE IN THE FUTURE THAT I THINK COLLECTIVELY AS A COUNCIL, I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF PASSION AND VISION AND DETERMINATION AND RESILIENCE, AND I'M VERY, IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, I'M VERY I'M VERY I FEEL VERY POSITIVE AND HOPEFUL OF THE DIRECTION WE'RE HEADING AND WHERE WE'RE HEADING BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO KNOCK OUT SOME BIG WALLS, SO THAT'S ALL I HAD TO SAY TONIGHT. AND WE HAVE A POTENTIAL TO ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION IF A PURCHASE OF PROPERTY, I'D MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS THE PURCHASE OF PROPERTY. THANK YOU. SECOND THAT. OKAY. ROLL CALL. MR. WOLF. YES, MR. BARBIE? YES. MR. BURGE? YES. MR. HUNTER YES. MR. REMES YES. MR. RAUCH YES. MR. BORDNER YES.
