[PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT]

AND THAT WAS THE ONLY ITEM AT PLANNING COMMISSION. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR PLANNING

[DESIGN REVIEW BOARD REPORT]

SO THAT PORTION HAS BEEN APPROVED. THEY WILL BE COMING BACK FOR SIGNS AT A FUTURE MEETING, I THINK ONCE THEY'RE CLOSER TO CONSTRUCTION FOR THAT. AND THEN NEW BUSINESS. WE HAD A REQUEST TO BE ADDED TO THE AGENDA BY DAIRY QUEEN. THEY WERE PROPOSING A MATERIAL CHANGE TO WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED, AND THAT WAS THAT. THAT MATERIAL CHANGE WAS DENIED AT AT DESIGN REVIEW BOARD. SO THEY WILL PROCEED AT THIS POINT WITH THE ORIGINALLY APPROVED MATERIALS, WHICH WAS BRICK ON THE BUILDING, AND THAT IS IT FOR THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. OH GO AHEAD. I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION BECAUSE IT CAME UP OVER THE OVER THE WEEKEND. DO WE KNOW WHEN CHICK FIL A IS SUPPOSED TO BREAK GROUND BY CHANCE? I THINK THEY ARE INTENDING THIS YEAR, BUT PROBABLY LATER IN THE YEAR, LIKE MAYBE SUMMER OR FALL. KYLE, DO YOU HAVE A. YEAH, WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ENGINEERING PLANS YET. I BELIEVE THEY WANT TO START PROBABLY IN THE FALL AND OPEN UP EITHER END OF THIS YEAR OR EARLY NEXT YEAR. OKAY. A LOT OF PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT IT. DEFINITELY. I'D TRY TO GET A GENERAL TIMELINE. THANK YOU. THEY'RE THEY'RE MOVING ALONG FROM THE CITY STANDPOINT OF THOSE PROCESSES THOUGH. THANK YOU.

THANKS. MR. SINCE WE'RE ON SECOND READING TONIGHT FOR THE SCIENCE, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT WE HAVE. WELL, IF IT GOES, IF IT PASSES OR NOT, AND THEN WE HAVE THE 30 DAYS, I CAN I ASSUME THAT THE CHICK FIL A WILL ADHERE TO THE NEW SCIENCE WHEN THEY. YEAH. WHEN THEY COME THROUGH THAT IS WOULD BE THEIR PLAN WOULD TO BE USED THE NEW SIGN CODE. THEY USE THE NEW SIGN CODE. OKAY. THANK YOU. YES. THANK YOU. HEARING OF CITIZENS. THIS IS A PART OF THE MEETING WHERE ANY CITIZEN HAS UP TO FIVE MINUTES TO SPEAK ON ANY ITEM THAT'S NOT RELATED TO TONIGHT'S AGENDA. HEARING NONE.

[Res. A]

[00:20:05]

JUST SLIDE IT. THERE YOU GO. SO THE BLUE IS THE BUSINESS PARK PIECES. NOW, DOWN HERE IN THE RIGHT HAND CORNER, I'VE SHADOWED A PIECE THAT'S ALREADY IN THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE. THAT IS, SCOTT'S OWNS A PIECE OF THAT, ETC. BUT STARTING AT SCOTT'S LAW IN THE BUSINESS PARK GOES ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH WATKINS ROAD. AND THEN, LIKE I SAID, THE LINE OF DEMARCATION HERE IS THAT. SO WHEN WE BRING THIS THROUGH ZONING AS AS TIM SAID, WE'RE IN THE 20 DAY SERVICE AGREEMENT THAT YOU GUYS ARE AGREEING TO SERVICE THIS. IT GOES BACK TO THE COUNTY LATER THIS WEEK OR MAYBE NEXT WEEK, AND THEN IT WILL COME BACK TO THE CITY HAS TO SIT FOR 60 DAYS. DURING THAT 60 DAY PERIOD. WE WILL BRING THE ZONING THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION SIMULTANEOUSLY, WITH BOTH OF THEM ARRIVING AT CITY COUNCIL TO BE HEARD IN READING ONE, TWO AND THREE YOUR TRADITIONAL PATH. SO WE EXPECT THAT TO BE PROBABLY EARLY MAY. LATE MAY SOME IN SOME SOME SOMEWHERE AROUND THAT TIME FRAME WHEN THIS COMES BACK THROUGH. SO AGAIN WE'RE BRINGING ONE B. AND BECAUSE THIS IS AN EXPANSION OF ANNEXATION ONE IT SKIPS THE SKETCH PLAN AND IT GOES DIRECTLY TO THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN. SO THERE'LL ONLY BE ONE HEARING AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION UNLESS THEY HAVE QUESTIONS. AND THEN WE'LL BE HERE. NOW ONE OTHER NOTE HERE. IF YOU REMEMBER ANNEXATION ONE. AND I'M GOING TO GO POINT HERE. OOPS. THIS LITTLE PIECE RIGHT THERE. WE HAD ORIGINALLY IDENTIFIED THAT AS SINGLE FAMILY TO BE DETERMINED LATER. SO PART OF ANNEXATION ONE B WILL BE A MODIFICATION THAT WE BRING BACK THROUGH TO CHANGE THAT FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO MAKE IT INDUSTRIAL. BECAUSE AGAIN, WE DON'T WANT A SMALL 15 ACRE PARCEL OF RESIDENTIAL WITHIN THE BUSINESS PARK ITSELF. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AGAIN TONIGHT IS JUST A SERVICE

[00:25:02]

THANKS. THANKS, BUDDY. ALL RIGHT, MR. BURKE, APPRECIATE YOU TAKING US THROUGH HERE. MR. LINEAR HAS LINEAR WHEN WE SAY. JUST TO KIND OF CLARIFY TO MR. REAMS POINT, WHEN WE SAY CITY SERVICES, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT POLICE, EMS, FIRE, WATER, SEWER. CORRECT? YES. NOW. AND I DON'T KNOW IF NOW'S THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO DISCUSS, BUT I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A NCAA THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR BOTH THE INDUSTRIAL PIECE AND THE RESIDENTIAL PIECE. ARE WE ARE WE HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS ON HOW TO POTENTIALLY LEVERAGE THAT, THAT AGREEMENT TO, YOU KNOW, MAYBE FUND SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED AS WE EXPAND IN THAT AREA TO, YOU KNOW, TO INCREASE THOSE SERVICES. WELL, I MEAN, IF NOW'S NOT A TIME TO TALK, YOU CAN GET INTO THE SPECIFICS WITH RESPECT TO WHAT KIND OF CONVERSATIONS YOU'VE BEEN HAVING. BUT, I MEAN, IT'S KIND OF APPLES AND ORANGES AT WITH THE PROPERTY, WITH THE PROPERTY COMING IN AS ZONED. THAT'S THE SERVICE. THIS THIS STATEMENT ILLUSTRATES WHAT SERVICES WE CAN PROVIDE NOW WHEN THE PROPERTY IS DEVELOPED. THERE WILL BE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS AND THAT WILL DEAL WITH INFRASTRUCTURE AND HOW EVERYTHING'S GOING TO GET, YOU KNOW, HOW THE EXTENSION OF INFRASTRUCTURE IS GOING TO GET PAID FOR AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT IT'S WAY IN THE FUTURE AND REALLY ALL THAT WE'RE ALL THAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS, IS CHECKING A BOX STATUTORILY FOR THE COUNTY AND MAKING SURE THEY GET A STATEMENT OF SERVICES FROM US.

OKAY. SO TO ANSWER MY DIRECT QUESTION, IT'S REALLY NOT RELEVANT IN THIS MOMENT. IT'S REALLY RELEVANT WHEN WE GET INTO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. YES. HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS AS IT RELATES TO THE NCAA AND HOW IT'S POTENTIALLY GOING TO BE LEVERAGED TO FUND THOSE, THOSE THAT INFRASTRUCTURE RIGHT AT THAT TIME. SO TODAY IS JUST HEY, WE'RE GOING TO WE ARE COMMITTING TO POLICE, FIRE, POLICE, FIRE, SEWER, SANITARY AND SEWER. HOW WE FUND IT IS DOWN THE ROAD THROUGH THOSE DEVELOPMENT DEPEND ON THE DEVELOPMENT OBVIOUSLY. RIGHT. YEAH. SO UNDERSTAND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I PUT IT OUT THERE. SO, MR. PRESIDENT, I WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT SO I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT ALL THE GROUND IN ANNEXATION ONE BE IS IN THE CONTROL OF ROCKFORD DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS OR THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY. THEY HAVE A NUMBER OF HOUSES THAT THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACQUIRE ALONG THE WATKINS ROAD AREA, AND IT IS FULLY OUR

[00:30:03]

THEY'RE NOT FORCED. NOBODY'S FORCED TO DEVELOP THEIR PROPERTY AND INCLUDE IT IN A COMMUNITY AUTHORITY. BUT IT IS IT IS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED FROM THAT STANDPOINT. AND WE'VE HAD SOME PRELIMINARY DISCUSSION WITH THE UTILITIES THAT NEW DEVELOPERS THAT ATTACH TO YOUR REGIONAL PUMP STATION ON THE EAST SIDE ARE REQUIRED TO JOIN THE COMMUNITY AUTHORITY'S. ANYBODY ELSE? ONE ONE LAST COMMENT. I'M GOING TO SKIP AHEAD TO THE ONE BETWEEN 4 AND 31. WE ARE ALSO PLANNING TO DO A COMMUNITY AUTHORITY ON THAT 246 ACRES, WHICH IS YOUR NEXT RESOLUTION? THE ONLY THING THAT HESITATES ME ABOUT THE NCAA AND FUTURE OF MONEYS LEVIED WITH WITHIN THAT WITHIN THOSE AREAS IS, YOU KNOW, AS NEW PEOPLE MOVE IN TO THE AREA NOT UNDERSTANDING, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHY, HOW THAT HOUSE WAS BUILT AND HOW THOSE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED. THE LONG TERM OF, YOU KNOW, RAISING, RAISING AND HAVING SOME TYPE OF INCOME TAX OR SCHOOL OR WHATEVER, POLICE AND FIRE PARKS, WHATEVER. I MEAN, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT IT ALSO IS GOING TO COULD POTENTIALLY CREATE HEARTBURN BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, RESIDENTS WILL SAY, WELL, I ALREADY PAID SO MUCH. SO WHEREAS WHERE I, YOU KNOW, I DON'T UNDERSTAND. SO I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY THING IS THAT IN THE LONG RUN, IF FUTURE COUNCIL WILL HAVE TO WORK WITH THE SAME ISSUES THAT TECHNICALLY WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX NOW. SO THOSE ARE ONLY MY HESITATIONS. IS THERE ANY ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. YEP. GO AHEAD. I'VE GOT ONE OTHER COMMENT THAT THAT THAT ISSUE AT JEROME VILLAGE, WE OBVIOUSLY DID ONE OF THE LARGEST COMMUNITY AUTHORITIES IN ALL OF CENTRAL OHIO. SO IN THAT PROJECT THERE, YOU HAVE TO DEFINE THE BENEFITS FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS AS TO WHY THEY ARE PAYING MORE. SO IT'S THE CREATION OF THE PARKS. IT'S CREATION ON THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE. ON THE INDUSTRIAL SIDE, THAT'S THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. BUT THE USERS ON THE INDUSTRIAL SIDE OBVIOUSLY WANT WATER, SEWER ROADS TO BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY, ADEQUATELY. BUT IT IS A BALANCE BETWEEN THE MILLAGE THAT YOU'RE CHARGING AND THE VALUE PROPOSITION THAT YOU'RE PAYING. FROM THE STANDPOINT OF WHEN WE IMPLEMENT THESE THINGS, AT LEAST FROM THE RESIDENTIAL STANDPOINT, WE REQUIRE EVERY ONE OF OUR BUILDERS TO HAVE A SIGNED AGREEMENT THAT THEY HAVE DELIVERED A SUMMARY OF THE COMMUNITY AUTHORITY TO THEIR BUYER, AND IT IS SIGNED AND RETURNED TO THE DEVELOPER, JEROME VILLAGE. THEY'VE CAPTURED 2200 OF THOSE. AND EVERY SINGLE TIME THAT WE EVER GOT CALLED THAT, NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT IT. WE WERE ABLE TO PRODUCE THAT DOCUMENT. WE WILL DO THAT ON THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE HERE AS WELL. OBVIOUSLY, FROM THE BUSINESS SIDE, THIS IS A VERY BIG DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY AUTHORITIES AND THE INCENTIVE PACKAGES FROM THERE. SO THOSE USERS ARE ABSOLUTELY AWARE THAT THERE. SO WE DO THAT. THE CHALLENGE BECOMES WHEN YOU HAVE HOUSES THAT GO THROUGH THE RESALE MARKET, GETTING THAT BROKER TO UNDERSTAND THAT. AND YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT IF YOU ONCE ONCE YOU'VE BEEN THERE, IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT WITH 2200 HOUSES BUILT JEROME VILLAGE, THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE RESIDENTIAL BROKERS WORKING THAT ARE AWARE OF IT AND DO COMMUNICATE THAT. SO THERE'S WAYS AS DEVELOPERS THAT YOU CAN HELP ADDRESS THAT ISSUE, BECAUSE IT'S ABSOLUTELY NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO DEAL WITH THREE, FIVE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD OF PEOPLE SAYING THAT WE DON'T KNOW IT. AND IT'S ACTUALLY YOU DEAL WITH IT ONE YEAR LATER BECAUSE THEY GET THEIR FIRST BILL AND THEY SAY, WHAT IS THIS? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND CITIZENS. AND THEN COUNCIL. IS THERE. HEARING NONE. IS THERE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO PASS THE LEGISLATION. OKAY. ROLL CALL, MR. HUNTER. YES. MR. REAMES.

YES, MISS. KRAMER? YES. MR. BORDNER. YES, MR. WOLFE. NO. MR. BURBEE. YES, MR. BURGER? YES.

[Ord. A]

PERFECT. WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. SO JUST TO REWIND. YES. CAN YOU JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE? YES. SORRY. ABSOLUTELY. MATT MCQUADE, 8000 WALTON PARKWAY. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN BORDNER.

SO, AS I SAID, THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. SO THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY NOW, HERE IS THE MARYSVILLE LAND COMPANY FIRST STARTED OUR EVALUATION OF MARYSVILLE IN EARLY 2023. OUR INITIAL STEPS WERE DOING DUE DILIGENCE ON LAND. EVERYBODY HERE, AND I THINK THE PUBLIC AT LARGE UNDERSTANDS WHY WE'RE IN THIS COMMUNITY. SO I WON'T GO BACK THROUGH THAT AGAIN THIS EVENING. BUT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED A LOT THAT HAS LED UP TO THIS POINT. SEVERAL ANNEXATIONS, SEVERAL ZONINGS INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING, AND THEN THIS CONVERSATION AROUND THE NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY. AND WHAT WE'RE HERE TO PRESENT TONIGHT IS THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT'S TIED TO THE NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY. AND WITH ALL THAT ADVANCED WORK THAT I MENTIONED, EVERYBODY IS AWARE THAT THERE IS INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS NEEDED TO ACTUALLY UNLOCK THE POTENTIAL OF THE, YOU KNOW, ROUGHLY 1200 ACRES PLUS THAT WE ARE WORKING ON DEVELOPING HERE IN MARYSVILLE. AND ON THE FIRST SLIDE, WE JUST HAVE SORT OF THE STATUS OF WHERE WE'VE BEEN ON THE NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY UP TO THIS POINT. SO THE PETITION WAS FILED IN NOVEMBER. THE HEARING WAS SET AND HELD IN DECEMBER, AND THEN WE HAD TO REALLY ACCELERATE OUR CONVERSATIONS AROUND THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. AND I'LL EXPLAIN SORT OF WHY THAT WAS AND

[00:40:03]

AND AS STATED PREVIOUSLY, WE WILL BE PAYING FOR THOSE EXPENSES UPFRONT IN THE HOPE OF BEING REIMBURSED. BECAUSE OF THAT, WE ARE ALSO ASKING THAT A LEVEL OF BOTH WATER AND SEWER TREATMENT CAPACITY IS RESERVED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. SO WHEN AN OPPORTUNITY COMES KNOCKING THAT HAS A REQUIREMENT THAT THERE'S WATER THAT WE CAN SUPPLY TO THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR 1250 ODD ACRES, 400,000 GALLONS PER DAY IS NOT A LOT OF CAPACITY. I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S SURPRISING ANYBODY.

WE DO THINK IT IS A WORKABLE LEVEL OF CAPACITY. WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO LIMIT OURSELVES TO THAT.

SHOULD A USER COME THROUGH. THAT REQUIRES MORE THAN 400,000 GALLONS PER DAY. THE FINAL THING THAT I'LL MENTION HERE IS THAT, AS BART HAD ALSO REFERENCED PREVIOUSLY, GIVEN THE OBLIGATIONS THAT WE AND THE CITY HAVE WITH THE NCAA AND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WE'RE WE'RE ALSO ASKING THAT ANY COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES THAT ARE LOOKING TO BENEFIT FROM THIS INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE'RE FINANCING AND BEING REIMBURSED FOR, THAT THEY JOIN OR OTHERWISE CONTRIBUTE TO THE NCAA JUST TO MAINTAIN EQUITY AND COMPETITIVE BALANCE. I WON'T GO THROUGH THESE MAPS IN DETAIL, BUT THIS IS THE ROAD WORK IMPROVEMENT MAP, SHOWING BOTH MARYSVILLE

[00:45:04]

[00:50:01]

JUST 4.5. JUST OKAY. JUST STAYS AT 4.5 OKAY. THAT'S THOSE ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAD THERE AND WHAT'S I GUESS WHAT'S THE ESTIMATED TIME LINE. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I HAD WAS THE ESTIMATED TIMELINE ON YOUR RETURN. WHAT'S YOUR TARGET RETURN. SO FOR MARYSVILLE EAST WE'RE STARTING TO PROJECT A CERTAIN TAKE DOWN SCHEDULE. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE COMFORTABLE PRESENTING RIGHT NOW, BUT THE WAY THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS IS THAT IT'S A 10 TO 15 YEAR PROJECT, ALL IN BETWEEN INSTALLING THIS INFRASTRUCTURE AND ACTUALLY SELLING THE GROUND. AND THAT THAT IS ASSUMING WHAT WE CONTROL RIGHT NOW, NOT TAKING DOWN FURTHER LAND AND ADDING IT TO THE NCAA AS TIME GOES ON. OKAY. AND TO GO BACK TO YOUR PREVIOUS QUESTION, THE REASON THAT MILLAGE WOULD BE REDUCED IS BECAUSE THE LION'S SHARE OF THE EXPENSES THAT WERE NECESSARY FOR THE 9.75, THOSE HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, THOSE HAVE BEEN PAID FOR. OKAY. AND THEN REALLY THE FOUR AND A HALF IS KIND OF OPERATING BUSINESS AS USUAL. GOT IT. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND ANYBODY ELSE. YES. IF YOU DON'T MIND. SO IF, IF ALL OF THE PLANS ARE COMPLETED, YOU'RE THINKING MAYBE TWO YEARS BEFORE THE FIRST COMMERCIAL LOTS CAN BE SOLD.

WOULD THAT BE WE'RE MARKETING NOW. WE'RE MARKETING NOW. WE ARE MARKETING AND SELLING RIGHT NOW.

JUST BEING REALISTIC THAT THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT MARYSVILLE IS COMPETING AGAINST, ESPECIALLY

[00:55:03]

04A AND B AND NOW EVEN. THEY AUTOMATICALLY POP IN MY HEAD. YEAH. SO THEY REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF THREE ALL THE WAY UP TO SIX. AND ALSO IN, IN, IN WHAT THEY ARE REQUIRED. AGAIN, THEY, THEY DON'T REALLY DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL VERSUS COMMERCIAL. SO IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THE SAME TYPE OF BOARD. THE TEN DAYS IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE SOME I WON'T SAY DIFFICULTIES WITH, BUT WOULD THAT BE CONSIDERED TEN DAYS AFTER THE 30 DAY PERIOD? OR HOW SOON ARE WE? BECAUSE TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, ACCORDING TO 3.9, WE AS COUNCIL ARE BASICALLY IN CHARGE OF THE FACILITY UNTIL WE APPOINT SOMEBODY ELSE. PINCH HITTER. HI THERE. GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS DICK ROGGENKAMP WITH THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY, 8000 WALTON PARKWAY, NEW ALBANY, OHIO, 43054. MR. BURBY, LET ME TRY AND ANSWER THAT QUESTION. SO FIRST OF ALL, ACTUALLY ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT AS AS ORDINANCE G IS THE THIRD READING OF THE PETITION, THAT NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY PETITION ITSELF. WE'RE GOING TO TABLE THAT UNTIL MARCH 24TH. THERE'S A REQUEST TO TABLE TO MARCH 24TH. SO IT ALIGNS WITH THE THIRD READING OF THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT THAT. CORRECT.

SO IF YOU SAW THAT ON THERE YOUR 30 DAYS, IS IT GOING TO START TODAY. BUT ONCE ON MARCH 24TH, ASSUMING THAT IS PASSED AT THAT TIME, THEN YOU'RE CORRECT. THERE'S A 30 DAY REFERENDUM PERIOD. AND THEN WITHIN TEN DAYS AFTER THE PETITION IS LEGALLY EFFECTIVE, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO APPOINT YOUR TRUSTEES. AND SO YOU'VE GOT SOME TIME TO WORK ON THAT. BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT THAT THE COUNCIL AND THE CITY ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT. NOW. IT IS AN IMPORTANT DECISION. YEAH. ESPECIALLY SINCE AGAIN AND I DON'T KNOW, SINCE YOU HAVE DONE THIS SO MANY TIMES, IT'S KIND OF OLD HAT FOR YOU, BUT IT'S THE FIRST TIME AROUND FOR US. THIS ONE IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAVE MARYSVILLE, THE RESIDENTIAL ONE, AND THEN WE HAVE MARYSVILLE IN THE IN THE FUTURE. WE HAVE. SO WE REALLY WANT TO GET A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS EXPECTED

[01:00:05]

AND SO BUT THEN THE OTHER THREE CITIZEN APPOINTEES THAT YOU WILL HAVE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S WHERE YOU NEED TO GIVE SOME THOUGHT TO IT. AND LOOK, THE DECISION IS, IS YOURS. WHAT WE WHAT WE TYPICALLY SEE IS, IS PEOPLE WITH SOME TYPE OF FINANCIAL OR FINANCIAL, LEGAL OR, OR ENGINEERING SLASH DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND, BECAUSE THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WILL BE COMING BEFORE THEM ARE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, SUCH AS MATT JUST WENT THROUGH HOW HOW TO PAY FOR THOSE. AND SO WE'LL BE THEY'LL BE TALKING ABOUT BONDING AND THAT TYPE OF THING.

AND THEN AND THEN JUST MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS BEING DONE APPROPRIATELY. BUT AGAIN, THE DECISION WHO TO APPOINT IS COMPLETELY UP TO COUNCIL. YEAH. OF COURSE FROM MY PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE, YEAH, THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST 1 OR 2 PEOPLE. AND AGAIN, THE LINES ARE PRETTY WELL DRAWN THAT WE ALL KNOW WHERE WE WROTE THIS. AND I WAS IMPRESSED THAT WE HAD PEOPLE FROM THAT REGION THAT EVEN APPLIED TO BE A MEMBER OF COUNCIL. SO AND, AND WE HAD 21 EXCELLENT APPLICANTS FOR COUNCIL. SO UNBEKNOWNST TO US, THERE IS A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE OUT THERE. THE ONLY THING OF IT IS THAT WE JUST NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT. YEAH. AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT KNOWLEDGE IS UNTIL YOU START LOOKING FOR IT. YEAH. OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

COUNCIL MEMBER. DARBY, I WANT TO TAKE ONE MORE RUN AT YOUR YOUR PREVIOUS QUESTION ON INCENTIVES BECAUSE I DID NOT LIKE MY ANSWER THERE. SO INCENTIVES ARE ULTIMATELY GOING TO BE BETWEEN THE CITY AND AN END USER THAT LOCATES HERE AND POSSIBLY THE SCHOOLS AND THE END USER. ALL THAT WE WOULD ASK IS THAT THE POTENTIAL THERE IS TO BE AS AGGRESSIVE AS POSSIBLE TO WIN A PROJECT, NOT KNOWING WHO WE'RE COMPETING AGAINST AND WHAT THEY ARE OFFERING. THE DEAL WILL HAVE TO PENCIL OUT FOR THE CITY AND THE SCHOOLS. WE WOULD NEVER PUT EITHER IN AN UNCOMPETITIVE POSITION. THE INCENTIVE PROGRAMS THAT EXIST IN THE CITY RIGHT NOW, WHETHER IT'S THE CRA FOR MARYSVILLE SOUTH, THE ENTERPRISE ZONE FOR MARYSVILLE EAST, THOSE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO GIVE THE LAND AREAS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY NEED TO BE COMPETITIVE. I JUST DON'T WANT TO GET AHEAD OF MYSELF AND SAY, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WHAT WE NEED, BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE BASED ON AN END USER THAT COMES IN. BUT WHAT WE WILL COMMIT IS BEING A PARTNER TO HELP UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE, AND THEN EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY WITH THE CITY. AND IF IT'S NOT A GOOD DEAL, WE GET IT. OKAY, HEIDI. THANKS, MATT. APPRECIATE IT. DOES MISS KRAMER, ONE MORE QUESTION WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE, YOU HAD MENTIONED 400,000 GALLONS PER DAY FOR RESERVE WATER AND SEWER CAPACITY. AND, YOU KNOW, NOT KNOWING WHAT THE NEEDS WOULD BE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE END USER, WOULD THAT WOULD THAT ALSO ESTABLISH, DEPENDING ON WHAT KIND OF END USER THAT WAS, ANY, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST THE KIND OF RESERVED WATER, BUT ANY LIMITATIONS ON WATER DEPENDING ON THAT TYPE OF USE. OR COULD YOU SPEAK TO A LITTLE BIT TO THAT. SO WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT DEEP. WHAT WE DID WRITE INTO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS THAT THERE WOULD BE PRIVATE CONTRACTS THAT COULD BE MONITORED FOR WATER USE, SO WE COULD UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT IS BEING USED AND WHAT IS NOT BEING USED.

AND BY THE END OF THE TEN YEAR PERIOD THAT'S ESTABLISHED AS A RESERVATION PERIOD, IF WE'RE NOT USING ALL OF THE 400,000 GALLONS PER DAY, THAT GOES BACK TO THE CITY IN TERMS OF ANY OTHER RESTRICTIONS BEYOND THAT, THOSE HAVE NOT BEEN WRITTEN INTO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THERE WOULD NOT BE THE ABILITY FOR THE CITY TO DO THE SAME THING, TO HAVE THEIR OWN RESTRICTIONS ON ON WHAT'S BEING USED. THANK YOU. YEAH. ANYBODY ELSE? I HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WATER USE. I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO UNDERSTAND IF YOU WERE TO OVERLAY THIS AREA AND YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL LIKE CURRENTLY INCORPORATED AREA OF THE CITY FROM AN AREA AND THE AMOUNT OF CAPACITY WE SERVE, WHAT WHAT IS THIS AREA MAKE UP. SO LIKE IF

[01:05:03]

AND UNFORTUNATELY, THERE HAVEN'T BEEN A LOT OF UPDATES BECAUSE THAT QUESTION TENDS TO MEAN, ARE YOU GUYS BUILDING A FACILITY HERE RIGHT NOW? AND IT'S LIKE, NO, WE'RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR PRE-DEVELOPMENT WORK. THIS MAY BE A GOOD REASON FOR ME TO REACH OUT TO HIM, JUST TO LET HIM KNOW THAT THIS IS A NEXT PHASE IN OUR DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ANYTHING IS BEING BUILT TODAY. BUT AS I'VE SAID HERE, WE INTEND TO START BUILDING, AT A MINIMUM A ROAD THERE NEXT YEAR. SO WE HAVE KEPT IN TOUCH. HAVEN'T HEARD FROM RANDY RECENTLY, BUT I'LL REACH BACK OUT TO HIM. OKAY, THANKS. ANYBODY ELSE? THE ONE OTHER THING I WAS GOING TO SAY, MR. HUNTER, IS, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THAT THAT WE WILL BE, FIRST OF ALL, THE PONDS AND THE MOUNDING.

IF YOU'LL RECALL, NEAR THE BUXTON MEADOWS WILL BY NECESSITY NEED TO BE BUILT AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ROADWAY. AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, THESE ROADWAYS WILL GO THROUGH THE CITY PLANNING PROCESS. AND SO THERE WILL BE ANOTHER ROUND OF PUBLIC HEARINGS ABOVE AND BEYOND THE OUTREACH THAT MATT WILL BE DOING. OKAY. THANKS. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE ON COUNCIL? WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANY FINAL COMMENTS? NO. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. SO THIS WILL BE BACK FOR SECOND READING. PUBLIC HEARING ON MARCH 10TH. THANK

[Ord. B]

[01:10:02]

AND SO CHIEF BURNS WILL COME UP ONCE TARA HAS COMPLETED KIND OF THE OVERVIEW OF WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT TONIGHT. TARA, DO YOU MIND? THANK YOU. JERRY. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. AS MENTIONED IN FRONT OF YOU, WE HAVE AN AMENDMENT TO OUR ANNUAL COMPETITION ORDINANCE FOR THE CURRENT YEAR 25. AS YOU MENTIONED, THERE ARE SEVERAL KEY UPDATES AND ADJUSTMENTS TO ENSURE OUR COMPETITION REMAINS COMPETITIVE AND IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE. I BELIEVE YOU GUYS GOT OUR REDLINE VERSION OF THIS, BUT I'M HAPPY TO WALK THROUGH JUST A FEW OF THE CHANGES OUT THERE. THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU. FIRST, IN THE EXECUTIVE SALARY ADJUSTMENTS, WE INCLUDED A SECTION REFLECTIVE OF SEVERAL CHANGES THAT WE'VE SEEN IN OUR EXECUTIVE STAFF. THE FIRST ONE IS THAT ANY RETIREMENT OF OUR HR DIRECTOR. THERE'LL BE A CHANGE IN OUR HR STAFF. AND THAT SUBSEQUENTLY LED TO A TITLE CHANGE FOR OUR HR ASSISTANT, WHICH IS NOW OUR HR MANAGER. SO YOU'LL SEE THAT CHANGE IN THERE, AS WELL AS SEVERAL MERIT INCREASES THAT WE EXECUTED FOR ELIGIBLE EXECUTIVES RECOGNIZING THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS AND THEIR PERFORMANCE. THOSE INCLUDE THE COMMUNICATION DIRECTOR AS WELL AS OUR INCOME TAX ADMINISTRATOR AND OUR ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT. WE ALSO UPDATED THE SALARIES FOR OUR THREE POLICE CAPTAINS. IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL BUDGET, BUT NOT CAPTURED IN THE PREVIOUS ORDINANCE PRESENTED TO YOU. SO THIS JUST ALIGNS WITH WHAT THE BUDGET HAD REFLECTIVE OF IT.

ADDITIONALLY, WE INCLUDING THE MOVEMENT OF OUR NEW. MANAGER, ALEXIS HILL. SHE WAS IN RECRUITMENT WHEN WE PRESENTED THIS TO YOU IN THE FALL, SO WE NOW GOT HER ON STAFF AS WELL AS OUR TWO NEW SUPERINTENDENTS UNDER STREETS AND STORMWATER AND SANITATION. SO YOU'LL SEE THAT REFLECTED IN THAT CHANGE. ADDITIONALLY, THERE'S UPDATED UPDATES UNDER THE JUDICIAL AREA.

THE JUDGE HAS THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE COMPENSATION FOR HIS STAFF. SO WE ALIGN THAT CLOSELY TO WHAT THE BUDGET REFLECTED AS WELL. I THINK THAT. MOVING ON TO THE PART-TIME SECTION. WE FOUND A CLERICAL ERROR IN WHAT WE'RE OFFERING OUR CONCESSION WORKERS. SO WE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT THAT ERROR. AND THEN LASTLY, AT THE END IS OUR FIRE DIVISION WAGE. WE DID UPDATE THIS SECTION PROVIDING OUR FIRE DIVISION THE 4% COST OF LIVING. THIS WAS DIFFERENT THAN THE 2.75 THAT WAS ORIGINALLY AGREED TO. WE BELIEVE THIS WAS MORE IN LINE WITH THE REST OF THE CITY, OFFERING THEM A COMPETITIVE WAGE JUST TO JUMP BACK UP TO THE EXECUTIVE LEVEL, AS TERRY MENTIONED, WE ARE INCLUDING A NEW UNCLASSIFIED POSITION THAT WE'RE WANTING TO PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT, AND THAT'S FOR OUR ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF. AND THERE'S NO ONE BETTER TO TALK ABOUT FIRE THAN THE FIRE CHIEF HIMSELF. SO I'LL LET HIM SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS POSITION.

THE CHIEF HAS PREVIOUSLY MET WITH COUNCIL LEADERSHIP ON SOME OF THE THINGS HE'S GOING TO GO OVER RIGHT NOW, BUT OF COURSE, IT'S VERY APPROPRIATE FOR US TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE ALL AWARE OF WHAT HE'S DOING. AND THIS IS REALLY PROMPTED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT HE'D LIKE TO DO FROM A RETIREMENT THAT'S COMING UP ON MAY 1ST. SO, CHIEF, THE FLOOR IS YOURS. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. SO.

WE HAVE A RETIREMENT THAT'S COMING UP HERE MAY 1ST. AND WE ARE ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALIST.

AND SO WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS BRING UP THE ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF POSITION TO SEE.

CURRENTLY, WE DO NOT HAVE. YOU KNOW. THAT'S OKAY. I CHANGED NOTHING AND IT'S NOT IT'S OKAY.

I CAN DESCRIBE IT. SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE THE FIRE CHIEF. AND THEN BELOW THAT WE HAVE THREE BATTALION CHIEFS AND A FIRE MARSHAL. AND THEN EACH ONE OF THOSE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR AREAS. SO I OVERSEE THOSE THOSE POSITIONS. BRINGING IN THE ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF WOULD ALLOW THAT INDIVIDUAL TO FOCUS ON THE OPERATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT, AND THEN ALLOW ME TO FOCUS MORE ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE, THE FUTURE PLANNING AND PREPARE FOR THE GROWTH. YOU KNOW, THAT THAT WE ARE SEEING IN OUR NUMBER, YOU KNOW, THE DEPARTMENT, OUR SIZE. IT'S COMMON TO HAVE THAT

[01:15:04]

[01:20:11]

IS THAT MODEL STILL GOOD ENOUGH AT THIS POINT? BASED ON THE NUMBER OF EMS RUNS THAT YOU'RE DOING? ARE YOU ABLE TO BRING IN THE KIND OF CALIBER BECAUSE IT'S 8020? YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS MANY TIMES. YEAH. EVEN THOUGH WE HAD A FEW MORE FIRES THIS YEAR, IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY. AND AGAIN, ONE, ONE MONTH DOES NOT SET THE WHOLE YEAR. YEAH. SO WE HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN MIND. BUT WHERE DO YOU FEEL THAT THAT YOUR, YOUR, YOUR WHOLE OPERATION IS IN AND MAYBE WEAKNESSES. YEAH. SO ALL OF OUR MEMBERS ARE CROSS-TRAINED. SO WE REQUIRE THEM ALL TO BE PARAMEDICS WHICH IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF US CERTIFICATION FOR SALES. SO THEY DO YOU KNOW, THEY ROTATE BETWEEN THE TWO DIFFERENT APPARATUSES, WHETHER IT'S THE FIRE TRUCK OR THE AMBULANCE ON EACH SHIFT. SO WE'RE WE'RE DOING OKAY. YOU KNOW, WITH. ON THE GOOD GROUPS. NUMBERS ARE LOW JUST IN GENERAL OUT THERE. SO WE DO OUR BEST TO FIND THEM THE BEST QUALITY CANDIDATES. OKAY.

AND IN TERMS OF LOW MAY HAVE DIFFERENT DIFFERENT CONNOTATION. WHAT IS LOW FOR YOU AND WHAT IS LOW FOR THE INDUSTRY. AS FAR AS NUMBER OF PERSONNEL. CORRECT. YES. WHEN WE GO TO HIRE.

CORRECT. GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. WE JUST WERE FILLING TWO VACANCIES RIGHT NOW. DUE TO THE TWO MEMBERS THAT HAVE WENT TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT, AND WE ENDED UP WITH THOSE SEVEN CANDIDATES FOR TWO POSITIONS IN THE PAST. WE COULD HAVE HAD 20 TO 30. APPLIED FOR THAT POSITION. SO, YEAH. OKAY. AND LUCKY SO FAR, I GUESS REALLY GOOD CANDIDATES. OKAY. YEAH. NO. WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS BEFORE OF THE ASSISTANT CHIEF, AND I FULLY SUPPORT THAT. MOVING FORWARD WITH WHAT IS TO COME IN MARYSVILLE. SO FROM THAT STANDPOINT, HOWEVER, I.

UNFORTUNATELY DON'T FEEL THAT SAME WAY WITH THE AMENDED ORDINANCES. YEAH. SO AT SOME POINT IN TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO SINCE WE STILL HAVE A MONTH. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO. YOU WOULD LIKE TO SIT DOWN WITH WE. I DON'T WANT TO DO IT TONIGHT BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT ON OUR PLATE. BUT WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO JOIN? AND THEN MAYBE HAVE MACKENZIE SET UP AN APPOINTMENT? I WAS GOING TO RECOMMEND THAT TONIGHT. TO SET UP A MEETING TO DISCUSS THIS VERY TOPIC. PERFECT. OKAY. SO IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND REACHING OUT.

TO WHO? ALL THAT. AND MAYBE WE CAN SETTLE IT BETWEEN NOW AND TWO WEEKS FROM NOW. AND OTHERWISE WE HAVE ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. A LOT OF INFORMATION IS CONTAINED HERE. SO I THINK IT'S IT WOULD BEHOOVE EACH OF YOU TO STEP THROUGH THE PROCESS AS TO WHY. YEAH. AND A LOT OF IT WE'VE ALREADY DONE. YEAH. BUT AGAIN, I THINK A FACE TO FACE WILL PROBABLY GIVE US MORE CLARIFICATION THAN TRYING TO GO OVER ITEM BY ITEM OUT HERE TONIGHT. SO. SOUNDS GREAT. OKAY.

SO IF I MAY, THIS IS A MEETING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HAVING WITH JUST ZACH OR WITH MISTER BORDNER. JUST YOU AND MISTER BORDNER AND ADMINISTRATION? OR ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HAVING A PUBLIC MEETING WITH ALL THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, OR IS THIS JUST ANSWERING QUESTIONS THAT MAY COME UP? I DON'T KNOW. I THINK IT'S ALL THE ABOVE. I MEAN, WELL, JUST TO MAKE NERVOUS. NO, I MEAN I BY ANY WAY. BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO ARE GOING TO HAVE QUESTIONS AND WANT TO HAVE DIALOG, THEN WE NEED TO PROBABLY SET A SPECIAL MEETING. IF IT'S JUST GOING TO BE MR. BOYD OR MR. BURBY WITH ADMINISTRATION, THEY CAN COME BACK AND REPORT TO

[01:25:06]

WE'LL BRING EACH OF YOU IN INDIVIDUALLY TO SIT DOWN, AND YOU MAY HAVE QUESTIONS THAT MAY BE DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER. SO THAT WOULD PROBABLY WORK OUT BEST AT THIS POINT IN TIME. SO WE'LL JUST GET THOSE ARRANGED AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS HERE OF THE LEGISLATION. SO YOU HAVE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED. OKAY. JUST SO I UNDERSTAND. SO I THINK BASICALLY A MEETING WITH HANK AND ZACH, OUR FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMBERS. AND THEN IF WE HAVE QUESTIONS, WE'LL REACH OUT. ABSOLUTELY. LOVE TO HEAR KIND OF, YOU KNOW, THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THAT DISCUSSION.

SO OKAY. YEAH. I HATE TO COMPLICATE THINGS. OH. I JUST YOU JUST GAVE ME SOME INFORMATION THAT I DIDN'T THINK OF EARLIER. THAT'S A QUORUM FOR THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. THIS IS A FINANCE COMMITTEE QUESTION. SO THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO BE PROBLEMATIC. SO IT WOULD BE A SPECIAL FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING. IF WE DO IT THAT WAY. UNLESS THEY UNLESS THEY UNLESS THEY COME INDIVIDUALLY TO ADMINISTRATION. NO PROBLEM. HOW'S THAT? DONALD. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS MAKING SURE WE'RE DOTTING OUR I'S AND CROSSING OUR T'S. I JUST HAVE ONE, MAYBE TWO COMMENTS OR MAYBE A COMMENT AND A QUESTION. I, I IN ANY ORGANIZATION, I GET CONCERNED WITH ADDING LAYERS OF LEADERSHIP. SO IF WE COULD MAYBE SIT DOWN, YOU AND I, TO GO OVER YOUR ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND WHERE I UNDERSTAND THE GROWTH AND THE FUTURE NEEDS THAT ARE GOING TO BE COME OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND OTHER PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES. I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND KIND OF WHAT THE REVISED ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE GOING TO BE, BECAUSE I HEARD, YOU KNOW, MAKE MAKE THINGS A LITTLE BIT EASIER ON BATTALION CHIEFS OR LIEUTENANTS AND, YOU KNOW, AND I AND I HEAR YOU, I JUST I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY ADDITIONAL STAFF OR REVENUE OR COST, TAXPAYER DOLLAR MONEY THAT WE'RE SPENDING IS JUSTIFIED. SO IF WE CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO SHOW ME AND THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE, HERE'S CURRENT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES BASED ON OUR EXISTING STRUCTURE. AND WITH THIS ADDED LAYER IN OUR LEADERSHIP, THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO REORGANIZE JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S VALUE, RIGHT? FOR THE SAKE OF TIME AND EVERYBODY ELSE'S. SANITY, I GUESS MAYBE WE CAN SIT DOWN UNLESS THE OTHER MEMBERS WANT TO SEE. COULD I MAKE A COMMENT? YEAH. SO WE DID TALK ABOUT THAT, IF I RECALL, IN A MEETING. AND YOU, THE ASSISTANT CHIEF, HAD BEEN A POSITION IN THE PAST.

CORRECT? AND THEN AT THAT TIME WHEN THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE DID CHANGE, THERE WAS ANTICIPATION THAT THAT POSITION WOULD BE REINSTATED AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. AND I THINK THERE WERE EVEN MEETING NOTES WITH SOME MEMBERS OF THE CURRENT AND FORMER COUNCIL ON THAT. BUT WHAT I FOUND INTERESTING IS WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT THAT POINT. WAS THATENTIONED BEING ILL, BUT IF YOU GO, I LIKE TO GO ON VACATION, MAYBE ON A SUMMER, AND YOU GO ON, I'M JUST PRETEND YOU GO TO THE DAYTONA 500 AND YOU SPEND A WEEK DOWN THERE, YOU'RE PULLING YOUR BATTALION OFF AT 12 HOUR SHIFT. IT'S NOT JUST A ONE DAY ILL. IT'S NOT JUST I'M ON A SHIFT, 12 HOUR SHIFT THIS DAY, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I'M DOING THE DAY JOB THE NEXT DAY. AND IT'S A STRETCH OF TIME NOW. AND WHAT THAT WOULD DO IS GIVE MORE FLEXIBILITY TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY IN TERMS OF ADMINISTRATIVE COVERAGE OF THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT. SO BUT THAT THAT POINT OF THAT POSITION, BEING THERE, NOT BEING THERE AND KIND OF COMING BACK WAS DISCUSSED. BUT I WOULD SAY, YEAH, SURE, DISCUSS IT MORE. I'M NOT GOING TO ASK ANY MORE QUESTIONS HERE TONIGHT. BUT THERE'S A THERE WAS A HISTORY LESSON, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY. YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT. MR. MR. PRESIDENT, I JUST I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT IN THE PAST, THE PBR S WERE REVIEWED AT FINANCE COMMITTEE, AND THIS IS MAYBE AN EXAMPLE OF WHY THAT WAS BENEFICIAL. AND MAYBE WE NEED TO RETHINK AND GO BACK TO THAT PRACTICE. THE PRACTICE WAS DONE LIKE IN JUNE EACH YEAR, LIKE MAY

[01:30:06]

AND I GET I GET IT. WE. ANYBODY ELSE? HEY. YEAH. ON A LIGHTER NOTE, I JUST WANTED TO SAY TO YOU, MISS MAIN, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVEN'T OFFICIALLY GOTTEN THE NEW POSITION, I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU AS AN FOR PUBLIC RECORD. I KNOWN YOUR FAMILY FOR A LONG TIME. SO YOU COME FROM SOLID ROOTS. AND AS YOU MOVE INTO YOUR ROLE OF LEADERSHIP, I CONGRATULATE YOU AND WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK. AND YOU CAN SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND MOVE THE HR DEPARTMENT AND WHATEVER DIRECTION YOU FEEL IS NECESSARY. AND I KNOW THAT YOU DO IT FOR THE BEST OF THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE. SO CONGRATULATE YOU AND I, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS TO, WHEN THE TIME COMES TO VOTE FOR YOU. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. ORDINANCE C, SECOND

DISTRICT. SECTION 1129. SIGNS AND THE APPENDIX. GLOSSARY OF TERMS. ADMINISTRATION. NOTHING FURTHER. OKAY, CITIZENS COUNCIL. IF I IF I IF I MAY ON THIS PARTICULAR ONE. THERE WERE A FEW QUESTIONS LEFT OVER. SO MACKENZIE WAS ABLE TO PRINT OUT THE ORDINANCE, AND I'M SCHEDULED FOR AN APPOINTMENT WITH ASHLEY AND MAYBE ZACH TO GO OVER SOME OF THE FINER DETAILS. OKAY. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? I HAVE NOT REACHED OUT TO THE ZONING DEPARTMENT YET, BUT I WILL BE, BECAUSE I JUST HAVE MY OWN. JUST QUICK QUESTIONS AND I'M A VISUAL PERSON, SO JUST TALKING WITH SOMEBODY ONE ON ONE AND JUST TALKING ABOUT LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, SIGNAGE, LIKE THE SIGNAGE ON SHOPPING CARTS, LIKE ON THE RACKS OF A SHOPPING CART AND SIGNAGE WHEN IT COMES TO THE EXIT AND ENTRANCE OF THE MCDONALD'S AND THE DRIVE THROUGH LINES. AND HOW MANY OF THOSE SIGNS ARE PERMITTED NOW, THE HEIGHT OF THE HEIGHT OF CERTAIN SIGNS. AND THEN ALSO AND JUST READING THROUGH SOME, SOME OF IT JUST EDUCATING ME TO, YOU KNOW, AS WE AS WE BUMP NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL CLOSER TO RESIDENTIAL, WHAT WHAT DOES THAT LIGHTING LOOK LIKE OF THOSE SIGNAGE? WHAT DOES THOSE SIGNS LOOK LIKE? WHERE ARE THEY PLACED? YOU KNOW, ALL THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. SO JUST THOSE LITTLE FINER DETAILS. BUT YEAH, I WILL BE REACHING OUT AS WELL FOR THOSE COMMENTS. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING. OH YEAH.

MISS. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT AFTER REVIEWING THIS. I THINK THE VISUALS AND THE GRAPHICS IN THIS ARE EXCELLENT. IT'S DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'RE TYPICALLY USED TO SEEING, AND I THINK IT MAKES IT QUITE CLEAR WHAT, WHAT THE INTENT IS. AND SO AND I ALSO UNDERSTAND I WASN'T

[01:35:03]

[Ord. D]

NOTHING FURTHER. ERIC, WE HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER. OKAY, CITIZENS COUNCIL. OH GO AHEAD. I WASN'T SURE IF IT THIS ORDINANCE OR THE NEXT ONE WOULD BE BETTER TO ASK THIS QUESTION FOR, BUT WITH THE 55,000 GALLON DAILY LIMIT THAT WE HAVE ON THE PROJECT, WHAT RECOURSE DO WE HAVE IF THEY GO OVER THAT, OR DO WE? CAN WE JUST CUT IT OFF RIGHT THERE AT 55,000? BECAUSE I'M SURE, YOU KNOW, THEY'D SAY, HEY, WE'LL PAY A FINE IF WE GO OVER, BUT WHAT KIND OF IS THE PROCESS THERE FOR US? SO WE CAN LIMIT THE METER SIZE IN THAT METER ONLY ALLOWS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF WATER THROUGH, THROUGH THEIR SYSTEM. SO THAT'S OUR PLAN WITH THIS SITE. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? JUST BE BACK

[Ord. E ]

[Ord. F]

[01:40:02]

AND, AND TO TAKE EVERYBODY BACK TO THE TIME WHEN COUNCIL CONSIDERED THE PURCHASE OF THIS PROPERTY. THE CONCERN WAS, WAS THIS PROPERTY COULD BE UTILIZED AND NOT MAXIMIZED AS FAR AS THE AVAILABILITY OF FRONTAGE ALONG 33 AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THERE WERE TWO PROPERTY OWNERS AND THEY COULD HAVE JUST DEVELOPED THOSE PROPERTIES RIGHT ALONG COLUMBUS AVENUE INDUSTRIAL PARKWAY AND NOT MAXIMIZE THE USE OF THE FRONTAGE ALONG 33. I THINK COUNCIL FELT THAT WAS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO SECURE THIS LAND INSIDE THE CITY. AND, AND THEN AGAIN SET IT UP TO MAXIMIZE THE 206 ACRES THAT WAS PURCHASED INITIALLY. SO AND IT'S YOU KNOW, A NUMBER OF YEARS HAVE GONE BY AND THE VALUE OF PROPERTY BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE INVESTMENT COUNCIL HAS MADE ON ROADWAY EXTENSIONS AND, AND IT'S BENEFITING US TODAY. UNFORTUNATELY SCOTT HANK'S GOT SOME MORE SOME MORE TO TALK ABOUT. I WENT THROUGH ALL THAT. AND IF YOU ASK ME WOULD YOU DO IT AGAIN. NO, I WOULD NOT DO IT AGAIN. HOWEVER, TO BE ON THE POSITIVE SIDE, I THINK THIS THIS HAS A GOOD POTENTIAL. WHEN WE GOING BACK 7 OR 8 YEARS AGO. YEAH. WE, WE, WE ALL HAD CONVENTIONAL TYPE BUILDINGS IN MIND AND CONVENTIONAL TYPE WORKFORCE. AND IT REALLY SURPRISES ME FROM ABOUT MAYBE 1990 WHEN WE 19 SORRY, 20 2019 WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. AND THEN COVID CAME AND HOW THE WHOLE PARAMETER HAS CHANGED. YEAH. BECAUSE WITH THE EXCEPTION MAYBE OF HONDA, SOME OF THE SUPPLIERS TO HONDA. THIS, THIS TYPE OF THING I THINK SHOULD BE LEFT OVER TO THE SPECIALISTS. YEAH. AND I THINK FROM A CITY PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE WE PROBABLY IN ADDITION TO THE PURCHASE OF THE LAND, HAVE MAYBE $2.5 MILLION ADDED TO IT. NOW, WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT WE HAD THE MONEY TO BUILD THE ROADS, BUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HAS ALL BEEN FUNDED AND PAID FOR, AND TO BE QUITE HONEST, THAT TODAY WE HAVE MAYBE 25 EMPLOYEES COMING OUT OF WHAT WE HAD HOPED TO BE 200 ACRES TIMES FIVE, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN A THOUSAND NOW.

SO IT STILL HAS A GREAT POTENTIAL, DON'T GET ME WRONG. YEAH, BUT EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY HAS A SPECIALTY. AND I THINK THAT WE SHOULD MAYBE IN THE FUTURE STAY IN OUR LANE AND

[01:45:01]

AND THAT'S DIFFERENT. SO WE HAD AMAZON COMING TO US AND SAY WE THIS THIS IS WHAT WE ARE WILLING TO PAY, WHICH WAS MODEST. YEAH. BECAUSE IT WAS TWO YEARS AGO. AND WE SAID, WELL WE'LL, WE'LL DO THE 95,000. WE CAN NOW ALREADY TWO YEARS LATER, SELL THE OTHER PROPERTY FOR 110, 120.

AND EVENTUALLY AND I WOULD HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THE FUTURE LARGE THAT ARE GOING TO BE SOLD ONCE THEY DEVELOPED, THEY'RE LOOKING MORE FOR 200,000. I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED. THERE ARE. SO AGAIN, LEAVE IT TO THE EXPERTS AND PARTNER WITH THOSE RATHER THAN FOR US TO TRY IT ON OUR OWN. NO, IT WAS NOT A MISTAKE AND IT IS GOING TO TAKE A LONG TIME, AND EVENTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO LOOK BACK AND WE'RE GOING TO SIMILAR TO WHAT MAYBE WE COULD LOOK AT WITH OUR WATER PLANT FOR 25 YEARS, I SAW THE FUTURE SITE OF THE MARYSVILLE WATER PLANT, AND IT IS NOW THE MARYSVILLE WATER PLANT. YOU KNOW, SO THAT THAT IS THE TYPE OF THINGS THAT WE HAD TO GOOD FORTUNE. AND IF WE WERE AN INVESTOR AND WE WOULD HAVE TO GO OUT AND BORROW AT 7%, WE WOULD NO LONGER BE IN BUSINESS.

SO WE HAD OPPORTUNITIES THAT PRESENTED THEMSELVES. YEAH, BUT I AM CONVINCED THAT BY THE TIME THAT THEY DO ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY PROMISED US THAT THEY WOULD DO, IT'S GOING TO BE A WIN FOR THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE. MR. PRESIDENT, I WANTED TO RESPOND. SO ONE THING THAT HAS BECOME JUST OVERLY APPARENT TO ME IS HOW DIFFERENT IN NATURE, THIS AREA THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS VERSUS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY OR THE MARYSVILLE LAND COMPANY. NOW, WE TALKED ABOUT IT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. AND TO THE I WOULD SAY TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, YOU SEE A BUILDING ON THIS SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND YOU SEE A BUILDING ON THIS SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AND FROM YOUR OBSERVATION, IT'S A BUILDING AND A BUILDING. IT'S A COMPANY AND A COMPANY. BUT WHAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING AND WHAT IF I THINK I WERE TALKING THIS THE SAME LANGUAGE HERE, IS THAT THEY WERE DONE. THEY'RE BEING ACCOMPLISHED IN COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAYS.

ONE BEING THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOW KIND OF BEEN ENGAGED IN THIS PROCESS MORE AT A DEEPER LEVEL, WHEREAS IN OTHER CASES IT'S NOT DONE THAT WAY. AND WE'RE KIND OF WORKING THROUGH THAT NOW WITH THE EAST ANNEXATION, SO ON AND SO FORTH. IS MY UNDERSTANDING RIGHT? IS CORRECT? CORRECT? YEAH. I WOULD EVEN WATER IT DOWN EVEN MORE AND JUST SAY, YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN CITY GATE AND COLEMAN'S CROSSING DEVELOPMENT TOO. YOU HAVE COLEMAN'S CROSSING THAT WAS BUILT BY CONNELLY. THAT WAS A DEVELOPER. AND THEN COLEMAN'S CROSSING WAS BUILT BY THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE. AND IT'S A NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE. AND JUST NOT ONLY THE ARCHITECTURE BUT THE STREETSCAPE IS CORRECT. WELL, I'M JUST SAYING IT'S WAS BUILT BY CONNELLY, AND COLEMAN'S CROSSING WAS BUILT BY ANOTHER DEVELOPER. IT WAS NOT BUILT BY THE CITY. WELL, I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S OUR ZONING AND WE IT'S OUR ZONING COMPARED TO CITY GATE THAT HAD AN OVERLAY MAP THAT HAD A DIFFERENT ZONING. SO WE TECHNICALLY BUILT IT, BUILT, BUILT IT. NO, NOT ANY MORE THAN ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT. WELL, YOU CAN SEE THE NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WE ALLOW COMPARED TO WHAT CITY GATE ALLOWED. BUT THIS WILL BE BACK. THIS. OH, SORRY. THIS IS PRESIDENT. YEP. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO PASS THE LEGISLATION. ROLL CALL, MR. YES. MR. KIRBY? YES. MR. BURGER YES. MR. HUNTER YES. MR. REIMS YES. MISS KRAMER. YES. MR. BORDNER. YES. SEVEN.

YES. LEGISLATION PASSES. ORDINANCE G, THIRD READING, TITLE ONLY TO DECLARE THE MARYSVILLE SOUTHEAST NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY TO BE ORGANIZED AS A BODY. I'M SORRY TO BE ORGANIZED IN A BODY POLITIC AND CORPORATE TO DEFINE THE BOUNDARY OF THE AUTHORITY'S

[01:50:01]

[Ord. H]

COUNCIL. DO I MAKE A MOTION TO PASS THE LEGISLATION? ROLL CALL, MR. BURGER? YES. MR. HUNTER YES.

MR. REMES YES. MISS KRAMER YES. MR. BORDNER YES. MR. WOLFE NO. MR. BURBEE YES. SIX. YES.

LEGISLATION PASSES. I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE ZONING STAFF, ASHLEY AND ZACH, FOR ALL

[Ord. I ]

[01:55:05]

SO THAT WOULD BE THE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT. YES. YEAH. OKAY. ANY. YEAH. MR. PRESENT, I HAVE ONE QUESTION. SO IF I HAD A AN EXISTING ATTACHED TWO CAR, BUT I HAD A DETACHED TWO CAR, DOES THAT MEAN IF I CONVERT ONE OF MY DETACHED OR MY IF I CAN CONVERT MY DETACHED TWO CAR TO AN ADU, THEN I WOULD HAVE TO BUILD ANOTHER DETACHED TWO CAR OR ANOTHER TWO CAR, LIKE A REPLACED GARAGE FOR GARAGE, EVEN IF I SAY THAT AGAIN. SO. SO EVEN IF I HAVE MORE THAN LIKE FOUR GARAGE BAYS, LET'S PRETEND I HAVE FOUR GARAGE BAYS. IF I WANT TO CONVERT ONE OF THEM TO AN ADU OF SOME SORT, DO I HAVE TO NOW MAINTAIN FOUR GARAGE? NO, NOT NECESSARILY, BECAUSE THAT THIS WOULD JUST SAYS YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN ENCLOSED PARKING. SO OKAY, IF YOU HAVE FOUR SPACES YOU'RE CONVERTING TWO. YOU'RE STILL MAINTAINING TWO. YOU'RE OKAY. OKAY. THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION. APPRECIATE IT. I'LL MAKE A COMMENT. SO I HAD ORIGINALLY PENNED A LETTER, I THINK A JOINT LETTER TO PLANNING COMMISSION WHEN WE HAD PROPOSED THIS TO EXPLAIN TO PLANNING COMMISSION THE BACKGROUND OF THAT, AND THAT DID DISCUSS HOW IN ONE END OF COMPLAINTS FROM RESIDENTS, WE HEAR THAT WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PARKING, ESPECIALLY IN THE UPTOWN AREA. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PARKING. AND THEN THE OTHER END, WE HAVE ZONING, WHICH SAYS THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME MAYBE SPILLOVER OF PARKING. SO WHY ARE WE KIND OF TRYING TO SOLVE ONE ISSUE ON ONE OF THE SPECTRUM YET WE'RE MAYBE, PERHAPS CONTRIBUTING TO THAT PROBLEM? ULTIMATELY, I SAW THE CHANGE OR THE CONSIDERATION OF A CONDITIONAL USE AS A WIN. AND, YOU KNOW, THE STRIKE THROUGH LANGUAGE. I UNDERSTOOD THE ABILITY TO ENFORCE THAT. MAYBE NOT DOESN'T EXIST. I LIKE THIS CHANGE, SO I APPRECIATE THE CONSIDERATION. AND, YOU KNOW, JUST THE WILLINGNESS OF YOU, PRESIDENT BERGER, TO KIND OF SEE CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, MAYBE IN THE LANGUAGE THAT HAD BEEN PRESENTED TO US AT THE FIRST READING. SO THANKS FOR YOUR WORK AND LOOKING INTO THAT FURTHER.

AND I'LL JUST SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, CITY STAFF TOOK IT UPON THEMSELVES TO LOOK AT WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE DONE. AND FURTHER, WITH JUST FURTHER EDUCATION. AND THEY BROUGHT THIS FORWARD. AND SO REALLY, THE, YOU KNOW, THE GRATITUDE GOES TO YOU GUYS. THANK YOU. SO DO DO I IS IT DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR STATEMENTS? MR. PRESIDENT I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND THE LEGISLATION WITH THE WITH THE PROVIDED CHANGES ROLL CALL, MR. HUNTER. YES. MR. REMES YES. MISS KRAMER. YES. MR. BORDNER YES. MR. WOLF. YES. MR. BURPEE YES. MR. BURGER YES.

SEVEN. YES. LEGISLATION IS AMENDED. SO NOW THIS LEGISLATION GOES BACK TO SECOND READING, PUBLIC HEARING. SO WE ASK CITIZENS FOR COMMENTS IF THERE IS ANY. ONE. I THINK CATHY YOUNG 425 WEST EIGHTH ONE. I THINK IF YOU'RE GOING TO CHANGE SOMETHING THE PLANNING COMMISSION BROUGHT TO YOU, BECAUSE THEY'RE AN INDEPENDENT BODY, MAYBE YOU SHOULD CLEAR IT TO THEM FIRST.

SECOND, IF YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE ON THIS AND THEN GO TO THIRD READING, I DON'T THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE BECAUSE IT'S NOT AN EMERGENCY. I THINK YOU NEED TO MOVE IT TO THE NEXT MEETING.

THANK YOU. IS THERE A MOTION TO WAIVE THIRD READING? IS THERE A IS THERE AN URGENCY TO PASS THIS? I MEAN CAN'T WAIT TWO WEEKS. I MEAN I DON'T REALLY IT'S TWO WEEKS GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING. I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT THIS. AND I'LL ASK MR. ASLAN HERE FOR HIS LEGAL OPINION BUT I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS WOULD CONSTITUTE I GUESS IT'S NOT AN EMERGENCY. WE COULD WAIVE IT. BUT THE REALITY IS, IS IT'S NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING FOR, FOR US. SO I, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM LETTING THE PROCESS PLAY OUT IN TWO WEEKS. SO GO AHEAD. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY STATEMENTS ELSE I GUESS I GUESS THE PROTOCOL IS WE WOULD WE WOULD VOTE TO WAIVE THE THIRD READING IF IT FAILS AND IT JUST PUSHES OUT TO MARCH 10TH. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. SO I MEAN THE BURDEN OR THE THRESHOLD FOR AN EMERGENCY IS DIFFERENT THAN WAITING. IT ACTUALLY TAKES

[02:00:02]

THERE'S MORE DISCRETION. OF COURSE IT. I AGREE WITH YOU. IF IT'S IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN WAIT. AND TYPICALLY COUNCIL PLATES. YEAH. JUST JUST PUBLIC PERCEPTION COULD COULD BE. YEAH I, I THINK WE SHOULD GO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. BUT YOU KNOW IT OBVIOUSLY HAS TO PASS TO WAIVE IT. SO IS THERE A MOTION MADE TO WAIVE. THERE WAS NOT A MOTION MADE. THIRD READING WAS THERE. NOT YET. OKAY. SO. OH SO WE DON'T EVEN HAVE TO MAKE THE MOTION. WE CAN. NO, NO OKAY.

THIS UP RIGHT NOW FOR SECOND READING CITIZEN COMMENTS COUNCIL OKAY THEN WE'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT. JUST AUTOMATICALLY GO TO THE MARCH 10TH MEETING. UNLESS SOMEONE UNLESS A COUNCIL MEMBER MADE A MOTION TO WAIVE. UNDERSTAND. SO THEN I'LL MAKE IT. SO THEN AS PRESIDENT I DON'T MAKE THAT MOTION TO KEEP IT UNTIL MARCH 10TH. NO, IT'LL JUST AUTOMATICALLY GO TO THIRD READING. OKAY. JUST BE IN THE ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS, BE EXTENDED INTO THE THIRD READING.

OKAY. SO ARE WE OKAY WITH THAT OKAY OKAY. SO THIS BE BACK FOR A THIRD READING MARCH 10TH, 2025

[Ord. J]

YES. MR. BURGER. NO. MR. HUNTER. YES. FIVE. YES. LEGISLATION PASSES. COMMENTS FROM CITY

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

THANK YOU, MR. REEVES. ALL RIGHT, I AGREE. AND I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO ADD, MR. HUNTER.

JUST WE HAD A SNOWSTORM SUNDAY AND YOU HAD MENTIONED ALREADY, THANKS TO THE HARD WORK BY THE CITY STAFF TO TAKE CARE OF THAT, I HAD I RECEIVED PHONE CALLS FROM RESIDENTS, CONCERNED RESIDENTS, JUST AS YOU JUST JUST TO THE PUBLIC AS YOU HAVE CONCERNS, KNOW THAT THERE'S WAYS TO GET THOSE CONCERNS CONVEYED AND YOUR REQUESTS AND REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION. AT TIMES THEY'RE THEY CAN BE HEARD BY US. WE CAN ADVOCATE ON YOUR BEHALF. SO PLEASE REACH OUT AND ALL OF OUR CONTACT INFORMATION IS POSTED ON THE WEBSITE. IF YOU FEEL IT'S, YOU KNOW, NECESSARY TO ELEVATE IT TO THAT. MY EARS ARE OPEN AND ALWAYS WILLING TO ENGAGE WITH RESIDENTS. SO THAT'S IT FOR TONIGHT. I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO GO DOWN TO MR. BORDNER. I'LL JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, TYPICAL OHIO WEATHER, WE GO FROM FIVE INCHES OF SNOW TO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS WEEK. WE'RE IN THE MID 50S. SO SPRING LIKE WEATHER. AND WHAT I'LL SAY IS I WAS GOING TO LUNCH TODAY. I HAD A GENTLEMAN IN FRONT OF ME RUN THE STOP SIGN IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THEN AS I WAS LEAVING TO COME TO COUNCIL TONIGHT, I NOTICED THAT THERE'S A LOT MORE PRESENCE OF PEOPLE, JUST WHETHER THEY'RE WALKING, RUNNING KIDS, RIDING SCOOTERS AND BIKES. SO I JUST ASKED THAT YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, INCREASE YOUR AWARENESS WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING AROUND TOWN.

[02:05:04]

BUT THEN BEFORE THE VOLUNTEERS, YOU CANNOT JUST CALL SOMEBODY AND SAY, HEY, YOU WANT TO BE YOU WANT TO SPEND THE NIGHT OUT HERE WITHOUT HAVING YOUR BACKGROUND CHECK DONE. YEAH. SO THAT WHOLE IDEA DID NOT WORK OUT. SO THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT AS MANY AS A DOZEN PEOPLE DOING THE COLD WEATHER IN THE HOPE CENTER TOOK CARE OF THE HOTEL PAYMENTS. AND LO AND BEHOLD, LAST SATURDAY THERE WAS A FUNDRAISER TO MITIGATE THE, THE, THE LODGING FOR PEOPLE. AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, MANY OF THE PEOPLE WERE BROUGHT TO THE HOPE CENTER BECAUSE BY THE OUR OWN POLICE FORCE, BECAUSE THEY WERE PLANNING TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN THE VEHICLE. YEAH. SO AGAIN, HERE'S WHERE THE POLICE FORCE WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THOSE PEOPLE, WORK WITH THE HOPE CENTER AND DOING THE COLD DAYS. THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND A COMFORTABLE PLACE TO THEY COULD STAY AT. AND OUT OF THE 20,000 SO FAR WE'VE RAISED ABOUT $15,000. SO IT'S BEEN AGAIN, IT WAS AN UNEXPECTED WEATHER EVENT, BUT WITH THE HOPE CENTER WHAT THEY DO. IT JUST IS A COMPLIMENT TO THEM, YOU KNOW, FOR HELPING THOSE THAT MAY NOT ALWAYS HAVE THE RESOURCES TO BE COMFORTABLE OR GET THEMSELVES INTO A DANGEROUS SITUATION. SO IT I'M REALLY IN IN ADDITION TO ALL THE THINGS THAT I THINK THAT WE TRY TO ADD AS A CITY, IT'S NICE TO SEE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS STEPPING UP AND SAYING THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT WE DO NEED TO HELP. SO THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. THANK YOU. AND I ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENTS TONIGHT EITHER. SO ON THAT NOTE, WE TAKE THE POTENTIAL TO ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO CONSIDER CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RELATED TO SPECIFIC BUSINESS STRATEGY OF AN APPLICANT FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE. DO I HEAR A MOTION? I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR THE REASONS STATED.

DO I HEAR A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. ROLL CALL. MISS KRAMER? YES. MR. BORDNER. YES.

MR. WOLF. YES. MR. BURBY. YES. MR. BURGER? YES. MR. HUNTER? YES. MR. REEMS. YES. COUNCIL IS IN
