MARYSVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEETING. THE DATE IS JULY 28TH, 2025, AND IT IS 7:00. WILL RISE FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND STAY STANDING FOR THE INVOCATION. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. INSTEAD OF DOING THE INVOCATION, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR ONE OF MARYSVILLE'S OWN, CHRIS MOTOR, WHO WORKED FOR THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE FOR 30, DEDICATED HERSELF TO PUBLIC SERVICE FOR 32 YEARS. SHE WAS THE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO THE MAYOR IN MULTIPLE MAYORS WHEN REACHING OUT TO PREVIOUS MAYOR CHRIS SCHMENK, SHE GAVE US THESE NOTES WHEN I JOINED THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE AS MAYOR IN 2008, CHRIS WAS INCREDIBLY HELPFUL. SHE MADE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE IMMEDIATELY, AND HER KNOWLEDGE OF THE CITY STRUCTURE HELPED ME HIT THE GROUND RUNNING. CHRIS WAS ALWAYS SMILING AND KNEW HOW TO MAKE ALL OF OUR VISITORS FEEL COMFORTABLE. FROM ELEMENTARY AGE STUDENTS TO OUR BUSINESS LEADERS, CHRIS WAS A REAL ASSET TO MARYSVILLE, AND THE COMMUNITY IS BETTER BECAUSE OF HER. AND AS A YOUNG RESIDENT OF THIS COMMUNITY, SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE. AND I REMEMBER HER GREATLY WHEN I WOULD COME AND SPEAK TO HER ABOUT NUMEROUS ISSUES THAT I ALSO HAD. SO WE'RE TAKING A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR HER. THANK YOU. TO ROLL CALL, MR. WOLF HERE, MR. BURGER HERE, MR. HUNTER HERE. MR. REAMS PRESENT. MISS KRAMER HERE. MR. BORDNER HERE. IS THERE

CONCRETE WORK CONTINUES FOR THE PAVING PROGRAM. CONCRETE AND ASPHALT WORK CONTINUES AT THE COLEMAN'S CROSSING INDUSTRIAL PARKWAY ROUNDABOUT AND INSTALLATION OF THE NEW SANITARY SEWER CONTINUES AT THE CHERRY STREET PUMP STATION ABANDONMENT PROJECT. AND THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS THAT COMPLETES OUR ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT. DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ADMINISTRATION? I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION. PERHAPS THIS IS FOR YOU, MR. HOYT. THE PAVING PROGRAM I KNOW HAS BEEN ONGOING. THE I UNDERSTAND TELL ME IF I'M MISTAKEN, BUT I UNDERSTAND THE PATH BETWEEN THE GREEN PASTURES NEIGHBORHOOD AND EDGEWOOD ELEMENTARY IS SET TO BE REPAVED THIS SUMMER SOMETIME. WILL THAT BE DONE BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS? I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK WITH OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER, BUT THAT WOULD BE THE INTENT. MY GUESS IS ONCE YOU SEE PAVERS IN TOWN, THAT WILL BE ONE OF THE EARLIER ONES THAT GET TO BECAUSE IT'S A PRETTY SMALL PROJECT IN THE BIG SCHEME OF THINGS, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE PAVING PROGRAM THIS YEAR. IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS MUCH NEEDED. OKAY, IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE HEARING? NONE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. REPORT OF CLERK OF COUNCIL. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I DON'T HAVE

[HEARING OF CITIZENS]

MICHELLE, AT THAT TIME DOWNSTAIRS IN THE UTILITY DEPARTMENT, CALLED ME AND ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO HAVE THE DEPOSIT TRANSFERRED. IF SO, I NEEDED TO SEND THEM A AN EMAIL STATING THAT WHICH IS THE LAST PAGE ON THE BACK SIDE. ON DECEMBER 5TH OF 24, I RECEIVE A MESSAGE FROM THIS TENANT STATING THAT THEY'RE MOVING TO PUERTO RICO ON DECEMBER 8TH. THREE DAYS LATER, NO FORWARDING ADDRESS, LITTLE TO NO COMMUNICATION, AND AT THIS POINT, NO CONTACT. WEEKS LATER, I RECEIVE A DELINQUENT WATER BILL NOTICE. WHEN I CALLED THE CITY, I WAS TOLD, EVEN THOUGH IT CLEARLY STATES IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER THAT A DEPOSIT WAS TAKEN ON AUGUST 12TH OF 23, THAT NO DEPOSIT WAS TAKEN. THAT DEPOSIT ACTUALLY WENT TO 207 ELLWOOD AVENUE. I BROUGHT THIS TO TIM AND BRAD'S ATTENTION AND HAD A HEATED DISCUSSION WHERE MULTIPLE. I'VE BEEN TOLD, AND THIS IS PARAPHRASING THE CITY PROVIDED A SERVICE IN REGARDLESS OF THE CITY TRANSFERRED THE DEPOSIT OR NOT. THE SERVICE WAS PROVIDED. IF THE TENANT DOESN'T PAY. IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY AS THE HOMEOWNER TO REACH OUT AND GET IT PAID. ALSO CITING THE CONTRACT, THE OWNER ALSO AGREES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT HE OR SHE IS ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BALANCE NOT COLLECTED FROM THE TENANT. TIM WANTS TO CITE THIS CONTRACT IN FAVOR OF THE CITY, BUT DISREGARDS THE PART OF THE CONTRACT THAT STATES THE DEPOSIT WAS TRANSFERRED. TIM DID ASK ME WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WOULD BE IF IT HAD BEEN TRANSFERRED, AND THE ELWOOD THE ELWOOD FINAL BILL DIDN'T GET PAID. WELL, HERE'S THE DIFFERENCE. IF THE ELWOOD BILL DIDN'T GET PAID, THEN I COULD CONTACT THE CITY. AND THE CITY CAN SHUT OFF THEIR WATER AT DIXON. WHICH I CAN DO FOR ANY TENANT, NOT JUST THIS TENANT. AND THIS WAS NEGOTIATED BACK IN 2011. THE TENANT IS THEN INCLINED TO GET THEIR WATER BILL PAID BECAUSE THEIR WATER WOULD BE SHUT OFF AT DIXON IF THEY MOVED TO PUERTO RICO. AND I HAVE NO DEPOSIT. I HAVE ZERO RECOURSE. THE CONTRACT FOR CITY UTILITIES SIGNED BY ALL PARTIES, IS A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT THAT THE CITY REACHED ON AUGUST 12TH OF 23. THE CITY TOOK AWAY ANY RECOURSE I WOULD HAVE HAD WHEN THEY FAILED TO TRANSFER THAT DEPOSIT. I UNDERSTAND THAT ANYTHING OVER $150 I AM FORCED TO BY THE OHIO REVISED CODE TO PAY, BUT THE CITY WILL TAKE NO ACCOUNTABILITY, AND I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN OVERREACH OF GOVERNMENT CONTROL. I WANT TO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR LOGIC AND COMMON SENSE TO GET THIS RESOLVED. PRIOR TO YOU CERTIFYING MY TAXES. THANKS. I'LL MAKE SURE TO. BOB HAMMOND

[00:15:14]

SO PLEASE DON'T BE DISRESPECTFUL TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS BEING NONRESIDENTS AND CREATING TWO DIFFERENT SOCIAL CLASSES OF INDIVIDUALS. BACK IN 2023, I ASKED ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SINCE IT APPEARED THAT THE ZONING HAD BEEN CHANGED ON WHAT WAS PLANNED IN 2018, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS OUTDATED AND MONEY WAS GOING TO BE BUDGETED FOR 2024 TO REDEVELOP IT. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS NOT UPDATED AND THE CITY DECIDED TO GO WITH A VISION PLAN, WHICH IN REALITY IS JUST A MISSION STATION STATEMENT. IT DOESN'T OUTLINE HOW THE SURROUNDING AREAS ARE GOING TO BE DEVELOPED AS THE CITY GROWS. SO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REALLY ISN'T BEING FOLLOWED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. EVEN THOUGH THE WORDS HAVE BEEN MENTIONED IN RECENT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS AND STATED IN CITY VISION PLAN THAT'S POSTED ON THE WEBSITE AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS ALMOST MENTIONED IN EVERY CITY PLANNING MEETING AS WELL. SO WHAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS BEING REFERENCED TO SINCE THE 2018 ONE IS OUTDATED. EVEN THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION WEBSITE STILL HAS IT LISTED AS IT, JUST AS IT'S JUST SECTIONS OF THE 2018 PLAN ARE BEING FILED. AND IF YET WHAT PART SINCE THESE THERE'S FIVE SECTIONS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. HOW ARE RESIDENTS AND NONRESIDENTS SUPPOSED TO GET AN IDEA WHAT DIRECTION YOUR GROWTH PLANS ARE? OR SHOULD WE JUST ASK ROCKFORD DEVELOPMENT AT THE LAST MEETING, G2 PLANNING, ALONG WITH EVERGREEN LAND COMPANY PRESENTED, YOU ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS IMPRESSIVE, BUT WONDER WHY WHEN NEW ALBANY COMPANY AND ROCKFORD DEVELOPMENT TALKS, THERE'S VERY LITTLE QUESTIONS ARE BEING ASKED. MY ASSUMPTION IS SINCE YOU MEET WITH ONE OR BOTH SO OFTEN BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, YOU ALREADY HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS AND MOST LIKELY AGREEMENTS OR UNDERSTANDING THAT IS ONLY A FORMALITY OF BEING AND ONLY A FORMALITY OF PRESENTING AT THE PUBLIC AFTERWARDS. THE WORD TRANSPARENCY HAS BEEN MENTIONED IN THESE COUNCIL MEETINGS NUMEROUS TIMES. ALSO, STATEMENTS ABOUT EDUCATING THE PUBLIC. IF YOU DON'T ASK QUESTIONS, EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWERS YOU'RE NOT ACCOMPLISHING EITHER. LAST POINT KEEP IN MIND THAT EVEN THOUGH THE ROOM MIGHT NOT ALWAYS BE FULL, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WATCHING THE LIVE STREAM EITHER LIVE OBVIOUSLY OR ARCHIVED, SO PLEASE DON'T ASSUME A LESS THAN FULL ROOM THAT PEOPLE DON'T CARE, ESPECIALLY DURING THE THREE THIRD READING WHEN INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK. I ALSO CAUTION YOU THAT YOU ARE ON VIDEO AND THAT BODY LANGUAGE IS VERY MUCH NOTICED AFTER EACH CITIZEN HAS SPOKEN. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS NOT EASY AND DEFINITELY WOULD NOT MAKE IT, AND YOU DEFINITELY WON'T MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY, BUT EACH OF YOU NEED TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THE

[00:20:07]

GOOD EVENING, MARY ANN HAYNES, LONG TIME MARYSVILLE RESIDENT AND OF MARYSVILLE AND THE AREA.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TONIGHT. EXCUSE ME. OKAY. CAN YOU STATE YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE? OH, SORRY. IT'S 15814 JOLLY ROAD. OKAY. CURRENTLY. I'M. I'M ENCOURAGED THAT COUNCIL HAS BEEN SEEKING GUIDANCE FOR THE FUTURE VISION AND GROWTH OF MARYSVILLE AND ASKING FOR THE COMMUNITY'S INPUT. I ONLY HOPE THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE, GIVEN THE NUMBER OF PUDS YOU HAVE INVITED INTO THE CITY. THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY HAS ACQUIRED 1200 PLUS ACRES OF MARYSVILLE LAND TO DEVELOP UNDER A PUD. THAT IS AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF LAND TO ALLOW ONE DEVELOPER TO CONTROL THE VISION. I ALSO I ALSO WANT TO ADDRESS THE SOMEWHAT MISINFORMATION THAT I'VE READ IN SOME LOCAL NEWS OUTLETS, THE FIRST BEING THAT DATA CENTERS CAN'T USE WELL, WATER FOR COOLING THEIR SERVERS. THEY ARE QUITE CAPABLE OF PURIFYING WELL WATER IN-HOUSE WITH THE SAME THINGS. WE USE SOFTENERS, REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER, WATER PURIFYING EQUIPMENT. THEY BUILD THEIR OWN SUBSTATIONS AND NOW POSSIBLY THEIR OWN POWER PLANTS. THEN THEY CERTAINLY HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE AND CAPACITY TO PURIFY WATER. AND I HAD THAT FACT CLARIFIED BY SOMEONE IN THE BUSINESS. I WOULD RATHER NOT SEE ANY MORE DATA CENTERS APPROVED FOR THIS AREA, BUT THAT ISN'T LIKELY TO HAPPEN. HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE COUNCIL TO HAVE REGULATIONS ON THE BOOKS THAT WOULD LIMIT DATA CENTERS TO ONLY USE THE AMOUNT OF WATER THE CITY WILL ALLOW, AND THAT SHOULD INCLUDE THE RESTRICTION ON USING WELLS. I BELIEVE THE COUNCIL SHOULD ALSO REQUIRE THE DATA CENTERS WANTING TO BUILD HERE TO BE THE KIND THAT USE CLOSED LOOP WATER CYCLING THAT REUSES THE WATER AND AGAIN RESTRICT THEM TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF ONLY CITY WATER PER DAY. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS AMBER DARST. MY HOMETOWN IS MARYSVILLE, OHIO. PREFER NOT TO STATE MY ADDRESS AS I KNOW I'M NOT REQUIRED TO. I WANT TO SPEAK ON AN ISSUE THAT MAY TOUCH ON AN AGENDA ITEM JUST A SMIDGE, BUT I WILL ATTEMPT TO KEEP IT OFF THAT TOPIC AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, I PROMISE. I'M GOING TO TRY AND ADDRESS THE MARYSVILLE EAST DEVELOPMENT AS A WHOLE. THIS PAST WEDNESDAY MORNING, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM NACO WITH THEIR PROPOSED COMPROMISES TO OUR REQUESTED CHANGES IN THE PUD. THAT WAS 48 DAYS FROM OUR LAST MEETING WITH THEM. IF YOU SUBTRACT THE WEEK THAT THEY CONCEDED FOR FAIR, THEY STILL HAD SIX WEEKS IN WHICH TO CONTACT US. WE BELIEVE THIS WAS DONE BECAUSE NACO KNEW BY CONTACTING US ON JULY 23RD, WE WOULD HAVE NO TIME TO ORGANIZE A MEETING WITH THEM BEFORE THIS COUNCIL MEETING THIS EVENING, SINCE THIS EFFORT WOULD INVOLVE CONTACTING DOZENS OF PEOPLE AND TRYING TO FIND A TIME THAT WOULD WORK FOR EVERYONE. SEVERAL OF US SAW THEM TAKE TIME TO MEET IN PERSON WITH TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS ON JULY 10TH, CONCERNING THE 306 ACRES, BUT WONDER WHY IT'S TAKEN SO MUCH LONGER FOR THEM TO GET BACK WITH US, WITH THEIR VERY VAGUE AND GENERIC RESPONSES.

EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK THIS LONG, WE ARE GLAD THAT THEY HAVE RESPONDED TO US. HOWEVER, WE HAVE SOME MAJOR CONCERNS ABOUT THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM IN ANY CAPACITY WHATSOEVER. ONE OF THE ITEMS NACO SAID THEY WOULD ADHERE TO IS FOLLOWING THE MARYSVILLE NOISE ORDINANCE FOR ALL RESIDENTS IN AND OUTSIDE OF THE CORPORATE BOUNDARY. THERE IS NO NOISE ORDINANCE IN MARYSVILLE. THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE MARYSVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT. I'M CERTAIN THAT WITH ALL THE ATTORNEYS NACO HAS AT THEIR DISPOSAL, THEY KNOW THIS FACT. SO MY QUESTION TO THE COUNCIL IS, ARE WE AND YOU BEING PLAYED AS FOOLS? IT'S THIS IS THIS THE KIND OF COMPANY MARYSVILLE SHOULD DO BUSINESS WITH? IF THEY ARE BEING DECEITFUL TO US ABOUT THIS, WHAT ELSE ARE THEY BEING DECEITFUL ABOUT? THE VILLAGE OF JOHNSTOWN

[00:25:05]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. MR. PRESIDENT. I DON'T WANT TO ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF. I DON'T WANT TO ENGAGE ANY KIND OF BACK AND FORTH. BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE THE RECORD CLEAR THAT THAT WE DO HAVE A NOISE ORDINANCE WITH RESPECT TO MANUFACTURERS. OKAY? IT'S NOT A CRIMINAL NOISE ORDINANCE, BUT WE DO HAVE A NOISE ORDINANCE. AND THAT'S I'M NOT PRIVY TO THE DETAILS OF THE NEGOTIATIONS, BUT I WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. WE DO NOT HAVE A CRIMINAL NOISE ORDINANCE. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY OTHER RESIDENT THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK THIS EVENING? OKAY. HEARING NONE.

[Ord. A]

SO THERE IS THERE'S A MOTION TO POSTPONE THIRD READING AND VOTE TO AUGUST 25TH, 2025. MR. PRESIDENT, SIR, THERE'S NOT A MOTION. I THINK WHAT? THERE IS A REQUEST. THERE'S A MOTOR. THERE WOULD NEED TO BE A MOTION THEN TO POSTPONE. CORRECT? YES. SO THERE'S A REQUEST FROM THE DEVELOPER TO POSTPONE UNTIL AUGUST 25TH. IS THERE A MOTION FROM SOMEBODY THOUGH? IS THAT TO WORK OUT ANY FINAL AGREEMENTS AL RESIDENTS? IS THAT RIGHT? IF THERE ARE ANY, IF

[00:30:04]

[Ord. B]

THE VOTE UNTIL AUGUST 25TH, 2025. THANK YOU. ROLL CALL, MR. BURGER. YES, MR. HUNTER? YES.

MR. REMES. YES, MISS KRAMER. YES. MR. BORDNER. YES. MR. WOLF. YES. SIX. YES. MOTION PASSES.

[Ord. C]

ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. IS THERE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO POSTPONE THE THIRD READING VOTE TO AUGUST 11TH, 2025. ROLL CALL, MR. HUNTER. YES, MR. RAINES? YES, MISS KRAMER? YES. MR. BORDNER. YES, MR. WOLF. YES. MR. BURGER? YES. SIX. YES. MOTION PASSES

[Ord. D]

[00:35:01]

SO THAT WAY THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT THERE. SO I'LL BE ANXIOUS TO SEE HOW THAT ONE TURNS OUT. COUNCIL I WOULD ONLY DEFER TO MR. HUNTER UNLESS HE HAD ANY COMMENTS FROM THE COMMITTEE. OKAY. YEAH. THIS IS VERY TYPICAL THIS TIME OF THE YEAR FOR US TO COME ABOUT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A YEAR AGO WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO DOWN TO MAINTENANCE BUILDING ON NORTH MAPLE AND SEE SOME OF OUR VEHICLES. YEAH, I WOULDN'T NECESSARILY, YOU KNOW, TRY AND PURSUE A PURCHASE OF THAT THOSE VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY ARE PRETTY USED. SO UNLESS YOU WERE VERY HANDY. THAT'S RIGHT. SO THIS IS JUST REQUIRED OF US TO BRING THIS THROUGH CITY COUNCIL PRIOR TO THE SALE OF THOSE ITEMS THAT WE BELIEVE ARE IN EXCESS OF $1,000. REALLY THE NICE THING ABOUT THIS IS, YOU KNOW, THE PROCEEDS THAT COME FROM THE SALE OF THOSE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT GO BACK TO THE BUSINESS UNITS THAT WERE HAD PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED. SO IT KIND OF, I WOULD SAY SUBSIDIZES, BUT OFFSETS TO SOME DEGREE FUTURE EXPENSES. SO TO MR. HUNTER'S POINT, WE DID GO DOWN THERE LAST YEAR AND I CAN'T REMEMBER OUR MAINTENANCE GENTLEMAN'S NAME. GREG. MAYBE ANYWAY. BUT HE DEFINITELY TAKES CARE OF OUR STUFF TO GET THE MAX LIFE OUT OF OUT OF OUR EQUIPMENT. SO, YOU KNOW, JUST SAY THAT THANK YOU FOR DOING YOUR DUE DILIGENCE TO TRY TO PRESERVE SOME OF THE BARNS, AND MAYBE SOMEBODY WILL BUY THEM AND TAKE THEM DOWN AND REBUILD THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE THAN JUST WIPING THEM AWAY FROM HISTORY. SO I APPRECIATE THAT THIS WILL BE BACK FOR SECOND READING ON ON ON

[Ord. E]

[00:40:03]

THESE ARE ALL THE RECENTLY ANNEXED LANDS. AND SO THEY WHAT WE DID WAS JUST ATTACH THEM TO THE CONTIGUOUS CONTIGUOUS WARDS. OUR CHARTER SET SAYS THAT OF COURSE, EVERY TEN YEARS WE AFTER THE CENSUS, WE HAVE TO REDRAW OUR BOUNDARIES OR DO A STUDY AND LOOK AT OUR WARDS. SO AT PRESENT TIME, THESE LANDS HAVE VERY FEW RESIDENTS. THAT MAY CHANGE. THERE'S A CENSUS IN 2030, SO IN 2031 WE'LL BY BY OUR CHARTER HAVE TO GET TOGETHER AND COUNCIL WILL HAVE TO REDRAW BASED ON POPULATIONS TO TRY TO MAKE THE WARDS AS EQUAL AS POSSIBLE. SO AT THIS POINT, WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT REALLY DEALING WITH POPULATION. WE'RE JUST DEALING WITH LAND. AND I GUESS THE EASIEST THING TO DO IS JUST TO ASSIGN THEM TO THEIR CONTIGUOUS WARDS. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE. COUNCIL. THE ONLY GOOD THING TO COUNCILMAN WOLF, IS THAT MAYORS OF NORTH WILL HAVE LESS HOMES AND RESIDENTS ON IT THAN WHAT KURT, WHEN THEY WANT GREEN PASTURES CURRENTLY HAS. SO IT WILL NOT BE AS DENSE AS MILL VALLEY CURRENTLY IS. SO ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY? HEARING NONE. THIS WILL BE BACK FOR SECOND READING AND HEARING ON AUGUST 11TH, 2025. ORDINANCE F ORDINANCE F

[Ord. F]

THIS IS A FUTURE EXTENSION THAT AMAZON HAS AGREED TO PAY $3.1 MILLION TO THE CITY TO BASICALLY COVER FUTURE ROADWAY EXTENSION THAT WOULD TAKE IT TO INDUSTRIAL PARKWAY. SO THAT'S KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF THE AREA. SO THIS GIVES YOU KIND OF AN OVERLAY OF THE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS. I'M GOING TO TURN IT TO JEREMY TO TALK ABOUT THESE IMPROVEMENTS. YEAH I GUESS I NEED A MICROPHONE ON THE DEVELOPER DEVELOPMENT HAS IMPROVEMENTS AS ERIC ALLUDED TO. THAT WOULD BE THE EXTENSION OF INNOVATION WAY. AND THEN ALSO A AN ACCESS DRIVE OFF OF CENTRAL WAY, WHICH WILL BE THEIR PRIMARY ACCESS TO THE SITE AS WELL. AS ERIC ALSO ALLUDED, THEY WILL BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE CITY $3.1 MILLION TO BE USED IN THE FUTURE WHEN THE ROAD ALONG SUMITOMO, AS WE'VE CALLED IT INTERNALLY, IS WARRANTED SO THAT MONEY WILL GO TO THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WILL PUT THAT IN AN ESCROW.

SO THAT WAY IT'S THERE IF AND WHEN OR MAYBE NOT IF AND WHEN, BUT WHEN WE NEED THAT MONEY. SO THERE'S NO REFERENCE TO DIRECTIONS HERE. THESE ARE ALL GOING DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. THE

[00:45:04]

AND AGAIN, USING INTERNAL TERMS THAT WILL BE A UTILITY AND ACCESS AREA ALONG THE FACTORY THERE, THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF SUMITOMO, THE CONSTRUCTION LAY DOWN EASEMENT. AS ERIC ALLUDED TO, WE CALCULATED THAT NUMBER BASED ON THE PRICE PER ACRE THAT WE HAVE UNDER CONTRACT WITH PROJECT COSMOS, BUT THEN USED ODOT. ODOT'S CALCULATIONS FOR TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENTS. SO THAT IS 10% OF THE LAND VALUE PER YEAR. SO THAT ULTIMATELY WILL RESULT IN $123,500 A YEAR. THAT PROJECT COSMOS WILL BE PAYING THE CITY TO USE THAT CONSTRUCTION LAY DOWN AREA. THE ONE RESTRICTION ON THE CONSTRUCTION LAY DOWN AREA IS IF WE ARE ABLE TO SELL THAT PROPERTY THAT WE HAVE TO PROVIDE PROJECT COSMOS WITH 210 DAYS NOTICE SO THAT THEY CAN GET THEY CAN ONE CREATE ANOTHER CONSTRUCTION LAY DOWN AREA, BUT TWO, THEY CAN VACATE THAT AREA IN AND BE ABLE TO NOT IMPACT THE CONSTRUCTION ON THEIR PROPERTY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. FOR THE MOST PART, MOST OF THE SITE, THE 50 ACRES WILL BE DISTURBED DURING CONSTRUCTION AND THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ROOM TO STORE SOME OF THEIR NOT ONLY THEIR CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT, BUT BUILDING MATERIALS, JOB TRAILERS, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND TYPICALLY, IF WE WOULD SELL THAT PROPERTY, THAT WHERE THE CONSTRUCTION LAY DOWN, THAT TYPICALLY TAKES SIX MONTHS TO GO THROUGH A DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD TO SELL THE LAND. SO WE WOULD HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO TAKE THE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS OFF THE PROPERTY WITH THAT NOTICE. SO THIS GIVES YOU JUST KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF THE INVESTMENT BEING MADE, THE PILOT THAT'S BEING PAID OVER THE 15 YEARS, 1.5 MILLION. YOU CAN SEE THE INCOME TAX. THIS IS YOU'VE SEEN THIS SLIDE BEFORE. THIS IS WE DID ADD I BELIEVE THE LAND RENTAL PROCEEDS OF 370. SO YOU CAN SEE THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT'S BEING INVESTED AS WELL BY THE COMPANY. SO IT'S PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS. AND I BELIEVE THAT'S ALL THE SLIDES. UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I DO THERE. THE COMPANY OFFICIAL HERE IS HERE JOHN WORKMAN AS WELL THIS EVENING. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WE CAN TRY TO ANSWER THOSE. IS THERE ANYBODY THAT HAS ONE ON THIS SIDE OF THE BENCH. I JUST HAD A CLARIFICATION POINT BECAUSE I KNOW THIS WAS O DISCUSSED EARLIER THIS YEAR IN TERMS OF THE FINANCIALS BEHIND IT. WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE SCHOOLS. THE PILOT PAYMENT IS THAT FOR OUR SCHOOLS, THE 1.5 MILLION I RECALL A DIFFERENT NUMBER THAT'S TO THIS IS THE CITY PAYMENT. SO THE SCHOOLS WILL GET $903,000. YEAH. IT WASN'T CALLED OUT ON THAT ON HERE. SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT CAN WE ADD THAT FOR MAYBE THE NEXT READING. SO WE UNDERSTAND LIKE WHAT THE TOTAL VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY IS NOT JUST THE CITY VIEWPOINT BUT THE COMMUNITY. WE CAN ACTUALLY ADD THAT AS WELL. YEAH. I JUST THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING TOPIC FOR YEARS IN THE MAKING. I THINK IT'S 13 POINT COUNCIL COUNCIL MEMBER. I HAVE THE SLIDE IN FRONT OF ME. THE TOTAL IMPACT TO THE SCHOOLS IS 17.34 MILLION OVER OVER THE LIFE. YEP. YOU GOT IT. IT'S JUST LIKE NINE 900 K. AND THE PILOT, ERIC, YOU'RE CORRECT. IS 13.5 MILLION. OKAY.

THAT WAS A CLARIFICATION POINT THAT I WANTED. AND THEN ADD THAT TO THE FUTURE PRESENTATION PLEASE. AND THEN THE OTHER BENEFIT THAT WE SEE FROM THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT IS THE $8 MILLION THAT'S BEING INVESTED OR FRONTED BY THE BUSINESS TO BASICALLY CONNECT THE ROADS.

YES, CENTRAL WAY AND INNOVATION WAY BACK THERE. SO THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD THING FOR THE CITY AS WELL. IF YOU REMEMBER, THE ORIGINAL PLAN WAS TO EXTEND THE INNOVATION WAY, ALL THE WAY OVER TO CENTRA AND JEREMY, THAT THAT'D BE ABOUT A 6 MILLION, 5 TO $6 MILLION EXPENSE. SO

[00:50:02]

AND ALSO, I WOULD COMMENT THAT THEY HAVE DONE THEY HAVE GOALS OF A NET ZERO BY 2030. SO LOOKING AT ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO USE WATER TO USE ELECTRICITY. SO THERE ARE CORPORATE GOALS THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY WORKING TOWARDS TO HAVE A NET ZERO IMPACT I BELIEVE BY 2030. THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN SOME OF THE FACILITIES IN. INNOVATION. SPEAK TO THAT. AS FAR AS THE INNOVATION BEING USED ON THIS. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE LAY DOWN AREAS BECAUSE THIS IS A SMALLER FACILITY, SO THAT THAT IS, YOU KNOW, THAT LAND IS NECESSARY BECAUSE THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE GREAT. GREAT POINT. THIS IS A VERY ODD PIECE THAT WE HAVE LEFT. WE'VE CALLED IT THE HOOK BECAUSE YOU HAVE THAT LITTLE HOOK THAT COMES DOWN BY THE TRUST COMPANY AND GOES OVER TOWARDS CENTRA. SO IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT SITE TO, TO MANEUVER, TO UTILIZE FROM A COMPANY. SO THAT IS A SAVIOR TO US IN A WAY AS WELL. BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, TYPICALLY YOU SEE SITES FOR THESE TYPES OF HYPERSCALE FACILITIES LARGER. AND THIS IS A PROBABLY ABOUT HALF OF WHAT YOU NORMALLY WOULD SEE. SO THEREFORE THEY NEED ADDITIONAL LAND TO STORE THEIR MATERIALS FOR CONSTRUCTION TO STAGE THOSE MATERIALS. THAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR THEM TO CONSTRUCT. IT WILL ACTUALLY EXPEDITE THE CONSTRUCTION AGAIN LEADING TO A QUICKER FINISH, WHICH BENEFITS THE COMMUNITY FROM A TAX PERSPECTIVE AS WELL. ANYBODY ELSE? I JUST WANTED TO STATE ALSO THE REASON WHY COUNCIL THOUGHT THIS DEVELOPMENT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT TO THE CITY IS BECAUSE IT DOES BENEFIT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, WHICH, WHICH WHICH IS GOING GOING TO GET A LARGE SUM OF MONEY. SADLY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WATCHING THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DEFUND PUBLIC EDUCATION. SO IT'S GOING TO TAKE MORE, MORE MONEY OF YOU TO KEEP PUBLIC SCHOOLS AFLOAT.

BUT AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, COUNCIL IS TRYING TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO ENSURE THAT OUR SCHOOLS ARE GETTING THE FUNDING THAT THEY NEED. SO THANK YOU. GREAT POINT. THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY GENERATING LESS THAN 3000 A YEAR. SO THAT GIVES YOU THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO. YES.

THANK YOU. SO THIS WILL BE BACK FOR SECOND READING AND HEARING ON AUGUST 11TH, 2025. COMMENTS

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

THANK YOU. COUNCIL. WE WILL START WITH MISS MR. BORDNER DOWN AT THE END. WELL I FEEL LIKE I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE FOR QUITE A WHILE. SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, I'VE BEEN KIND OF

[00:55:04]

BUT THE GOAL OF COUNCIL IS TO CREATE SOMETHING BETTER THAN JUST WHAT OUR COMP PLAN SAYS.

AND THAT COMES WITH WHAT ACTUALLY IS MARYSVILLE, WHO ARE WE AND WHAT ARE WE PROTECTING? COMP PLAN DOESN'T SAY ANY OF THAT. COMP PLANS ARE A GUIDELINE THAT SAYS THIS IS WHERE YOU COULD GO. IT'S NOT A TEXT THAT SAYS, THIS IS WHERE YOU SHOULD GO. SO TO CREATE A COMP PLAN THAT ENSURES THAT THE CITY IS MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A ZONING CODE THAT FORCES THAT DIRECTION. IN 2018, IF YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE ZONING CODE WAS BEING WRITTEN, PEOPLE IN MARYSVILLE SAID, WE WERE TRYING TO BE LIKE DUBLIN, PROTECTING TOO MUCH GREEN SPACE, DEMANDING HIGHER DESIGN STANDARDS. YOU CAN'T ALLOW THAT. WHERE? MARYSVILLE. WELL, HERE WE ARE. FAST FORWARD TODAY AND EVERYONE IS UPSET BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE MARYSVILLE HASN'T GROWN PROPERLY IN 20 YEARS. WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE FACEBOOK ALLOWS PEOPLE TO SPEW INFORMATION THAT MIGHT NOT ALWAYS BE TRUE OR REPRESENTS THE BEST INTERESTS OF INDIVIDUALISM, AND NOT WHAT'S BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY PEOPLE CAN SAY MARYSVILLE HASN'T DEVELOPED PROPERLY IN 20 YEARS. WE MUST REMEMBER OUR FIRST CITY PLANNER WAS HIRED IN 2006. SO WHAT? I STATED WHAT I READ WHEN WE HAD OUR FIRST MEETING WITH REALM. I WILL READ TONIGHT. MARYSVILLE WAS ON A JOURNEY TO FIND OURSELVES AND TO TELL FUTURE GENERATIONS WHAT WE WANT TO BE WHEN WE GROW UP. SHE IS AT A TIME OF GREAT HOPE AND OPPORTUNITY. I SEE DIVISION AS A BEACON OF LIGHT, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE ALL HERE TODAY. THIS COUNCIL, THIS COUNCIL HIRED REALM TO GUIDE US INTO THE FUTURE, TO CREATE AN UPTOWN VIBRANT OF PRESERVATION, WALK A SIDEWALKS FULL OF RESIDENTS AND NEIGHBORS, NEIGHBORHOODS WHICH PROTECT THE HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE OF OUR MIGHTY CITY ECONOMIC CORE, WHICH SHAKES THE

[01:00:03]

YEAH. IT'S SIX FROM 6 TO 8 P.M. AT THE UNION COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ON LONDON AVENUE. AND IT'S A VISIONING OPEN HOUSE. SO THAT'S WHERE IT'LL BE HELD. OKAY. THANK YOU. YEAH. I MOVE TO

[THE POTENTIAL TO ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO CONSIDER INFORMATION RELATED TO THE SPECIFIC BUSINESS STRATEGY OF AN APPLICANT FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOMENT ASSISTANCE]

OH. IS THERE A MOTION THAT WAS. OH, OKAY. IT WAS YOUR MOTION OKAY. SECOND IS MR. WOLFF. AND THEN ROLL CALL MR. RAIMES. YES. MISS KRAMER. YES. MR. BORDNER. YES. MR. WOLFF. YES. MR. BURBY OH, I'M SORRY, MR. BURGER. YES. MR. HUNTER. YES. SIX. YES. WE
