THESE ARE ON AREAS THAT WE DON'T ANTICIPATE BEING ABLE TO HOLD UP THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF ODOT'S UPCOMING BRIDGE PROJECT. SO WE'RE DOING THOSE NOW AND AS WELL. THIS WEEK WE'RE ADDRESSING SOME SNOW REMOVAL RELATED RESTORATION. SO MAILBOXES AND GETTING SOME GRASS SEED DOWN ON THE PARK SIDE. THE CREWS HAVE OPENED UP THE PARTNERS PARK RESTROOMS FOR THE SEASON, AND THEY'RE ALSO PREPPING FOR LANDSCAPE BEDS AND DOING SOME OTHER SPRING CLEANUP ACTIVITIES. ON THE WATER SIDE, CITY CREWS ARE ATTENDING BACKFLOW SCHOOL AND CONTINUING ON THE WATER LINE REPLACEMENT ON CONLEY STREET, NORTH OF LYDIA. AND THEN IN PREPARATION FOR THE SUMMER. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE, THE RESERVOIR IS CURRENTLY JUST THREE THREE FEET BELOW THE CAPACITY, SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO FILL THAT UP QUITE A BIT OVER THE WINTER AND HOPE, HOPE IT LASTS, YOU KNOW, A LONG TIME. AND THEN WASTEWATER. THE BIG THING THIS

[00:20:03]

[00:25:06]

CHEAP. BROOKS. AM I MISSING ANYTHING? NO, I THINK YOU GOT IT. ALL RIGHT. I'M ABOUT TO THROW IT OVER TO YOU. I JUST GOT RAMBLING. SO THERE IS A PLAN. WILL IT WORK OUT GREAT? I GUESS IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN, BUT WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR TRAFFIC FOLKS CHECKING OUT THE CAMERAS AT THE INTERSECTION. SO IF THERE'S BACKUPS, WE'LL BE ABLE TO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY. AND, AND AGAIN, HOPEFULLY MAYBE NOT FOR CHICK FIL A'S SAKE, BUT HOPEFULLY THIS IS JUST A THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY THING, BUT WE'LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR, MONITOR IT THAT, THAT NEXT WEEK AS WELL. IN CASE, YOU KNOW, THE TRAFFIC IS MORE THAN, MORE THAN EVEN WHAT WE CAN ANTICIPATE. THEY WERE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF OUR WILLINGNESS TO, TO MEET BECAUSE THEY HAVE ENCOUNTERED ISSUES ON OPENINGS AND, AND A COUPLE OF THEIR OTHER COMMUNITIES. SO WE'LL BE PREPARED. I WOULD ADVISE PEOPLE, IF YOU CAN WAIT A FEW DAYS BEFORE YOU GO TO CHICK FIL A, THAT'S ALWAYS MAYBE A GOOD THING, BUT SO BUT WE'LL BE PREPARED IN CASE PEOPLE DEFINITELY WANT TO TRY ATTEMPT TO GO THERE. SO WITH THAT, I DO HAVE ANOTHER ITEM, YOU KNOW, BACK LAST FALL, YOU KNOW, WE HAD ALTA FIBER AT A WORK SESSION BEFORE CITY COUNCIL. AND TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT OF A PROCESS THAT WAS GOING TO BEGIN HERE, RIGHT, RIGHT AROUND THE 1ST OF APRIL ON WHAT'S CALLED FIBER TO THE HOME. IT'S A IT'S SOMETHING THAT OTHER COMMUNITIES IN THIS AREA HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, IN PARTICULAR THE CITY OF DUBLIN JUST COMPLETED OR IS IN THE PROCESS OF COMPLETING THEIR ROLLOUT TO FIBER TO EVERY HOME. AND I THINK POWELL HAS DONE THE SAME THING. AND WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE THE FIBER REP HERE TONIGHT TO TO KIND OF EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE COMING UP HERE IN ABOUT A WEEK, AND WE'RE GOING TO HIT THE PUBLIC HARD WITH INFORMATION. SO THE FLOOR IS YOURS. I LIKE TO WALK WHEN I TALK. SO EXCUSE ME. DAVE KRAMER, ALTA FIBER DIRECTOR OF CORPORATE STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME UP HERE AND TALK AGAIN TONIGHT AND DESCRIBE OUR PROJECT TO YOU. BEFORE I START, FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE STAFF AT THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE, TERRY, TREVOR, JEREMY AND THE ENTIRE TEAM OF GETTING US HERE TODAY AS QUICK AS WE'VE GOT HERE. WE STARTED CONVERSATIONS LAST YEAR IN THE SPRING, AND HONESTLY, NO OTHER COMMUNITY HAS ADVANCED A PROJECT LIKE THIS THIS FAST. SO BIG KUDOS TO THEIR TEAM, YOU GUYS. THE CITY HAS BEEN GREAT IN REMOVING ALL THE OBSTACLES AND ALLOW US TO BEGIN. SO ONE GREAT JOB BY THE TEAM AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO COME UP HERE TO THE CITY. YOU KNOW WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, ULTRA FIBER, YOU KNOW, I'LL REMIND EVERYBODY I'M 150 OLD COMPANY. I'M REALLY CINCINNATI BELL TELEPHONE. ALL THE FIBERS ARE JUST REALLY OUR GO TO NAME IN THE MARKET. WE ENTERED INTO THE COLUMBUS MARKET ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO WITH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF DUBLIN, DUBLIN. AND SINCE THEN WE HAVE BEEN TALKING TO NUMEROUS COMMUNITIES AROUND THE COLUMBUS AREA TO EXPAND OUR HIGH SPEED FIBER BROADBAND NETWORK. SO ONCE AGAIN, APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO YOU GUYS TONIGHT. AS TERRY MENTIONED, WE DID START TALKING ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WE SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY AND WITH THE 33 COG BACK IN, I BELIEVE IN THE JANUARY TIME FRAME, WE HAVE A NETWORK AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY WHERE WE HAVE AGREED TO EXPAND OUR HIGH SPEED NETWORK TO VIRTUALLY EVERY RESIDENTIAL LOCATION WITHIN THE CITY TO PROVIDE HIGH SPEED BROADBAND, HIGH SPEED BROADBAND TODAY, GUYS, I MEAN, IT'S TABLE STAKES FOR COMMUNITIES THAT WANT TO PROSPER IN MANY RESPECTS. SO WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS OUR KIND OF OUR DEPLOYMENT STRATEGY. YOU KNOW, ALL THE GREEN AREAS ARE AREAS OF PROPOSED THE GOOD. THE GOOD NEWS IS THE ORANGE AREAS. THOSE ARE THE ONES WE PLAN ON STARTING WORK ON NEXT WEEK. WE ARE OUT HERE LAST WEEK DOING DOOR HANGERS IN THE COMMUNITY, SO WE WERE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS KEY AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR IS GETTING THE INFORMATION OUT TO THE COMMUNITY, WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WHO WE ARE. EVERYBODY ABOUT 2 TO 3 WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF US STARTING CONSTRUCTION, WE'LL SEND OUT A MAILER. AND THEN RIGHT AFTER THAT, BEFORE THE GUYS START CONSTRUCTION, THEY WILL DO A DOOR HANGER. SO WE TAKE COMMUNICATION WITH THE RESIDENTS. SERIOUS. WE WORKING WITH YOUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S AWARE OF IT. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT REALLY DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN. THERE ARE TIMES WHERE, YOU KNOW, THINGS DO HAPPEN. I'LL KIND OF

[00:30:02]

AND I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH. IF THEY CALL ME, WE WILL RESPOND WITHIN 24 HOURS.

DOESN'T MEAN IT'S FIXED, BUT WE'LL AT LEAST REACH OUT TO THE RESIDENTS AS WELL. WHERE THE COMPLAINT. IT IS A CALL CENTER ACTIVITY FOR US. IT IS TRACKED AS MONITORED AND THERE'S A WHOLE TEAM DEDICATED TO IT. I THINK THAT'S WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE WE DO. WE TRY OUR BEST NOT TO SCREW UP, BUT IT HAPPENS. IT'S CONSTRUCTION. SO THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO GET HOLD OF THAT NUMBER. AND, YOU KNOW, 24 TO 48 HOURS, YOU KNOW, ON A FRIDAY, MAYBE MONDAY. BUT WE'LL GET OUT THERE AND WE'LL ADDRESS THE RESIDENT'S COMPLAINTS.

TIMING OF THE YEAR IS ANOTHER THING. I KNOW GRASS IS SACRED TO RESIDENTS. MY YARD IS SACRED TO ME. YOU KNOW, WE DO DO RESTORATION. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RESTORATION FOR THE DURATION OF THE PROJECT. AND ANYTIME IN THE FUTURE, WE DO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. YOU KNOW, WHAT I RECOMMEND IS IF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING, TELL THEM TO CALL THE NUMBER. WE'LL GET OUT THERE AND REDO IT. YOU KNOW, IT TAKES TIME. YOU KNOW, MOTHER NATURE TAKES ABOUT A YEAR FOR GRASS, BUT IT DOES TAKE TIME AGAIN, TO THE POINT THAT YOU CAN SEND THEM TO THE 614 NUMBER.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT. LASTLY, JUST KIND OF WANTED TO GO OVER OUR PRICING. I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY AND TALKING TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, ONCE WE ENTER INTO THE COMMUNITY, THE INCUMBENTS APPEAR, MAINLY THE CABLE COMPANY WILL START TO LOWER THEIR PRICES AS SOON AS THEY SEE US CONSTRUCTING, AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS WEDNESDAY, IT'S IT'S IRONIC. ONCE THEY SEE GRASS AND STRAW ON THE GROUND, THEY START GOING DOOR TO DOOR.

BUT WE DO HAVE AGGRESSIVE PRICING, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM HERE. AND I'D SAY MOST PEOPLE TODAY, IF YOU'RE WITH THE CABLE COMPANY, YOU'RE PROBABLY PAYING 70 TO $100 FOR A PRODUCT THAT IS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR WHAT WE'RE OFFERING. SO, YOU KNOW, THAT IS OUR PRICING TODAY AND WE'LL BE AVAILABLE TO THE RESIDENCES, THE RESIDENTS. WE DO NOT PRICE DIFFERENTIATE OHIO. SO WHATEVER WE OFFER ANYWHERE IN OHIO, IT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO MARYSVILLE RESIDENCES. AND THEN WE'RE DOING ABOUT 10,000 UNITS INITIALLY. THOSE ARE MAINLY SINGLE FAMILY UNITS, RESIDENTIAL HOUSEHOLDS. WE DO HAVE A MULTI-DWELLING UNIT TEAM APARTMENTS, CONDOS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. PRIVATE ROADWAYS WILL COME UP AT THE TAIL END OF THE PROJECT PROBABLY SOMETIME NEXT YEAR. THEY WILL START NEGOTIATING WITH THOSE UNITS, ALLOW US IN. THEY REQUIRE PRIVATE PROPERTY EASEMENTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO ONCE WE, YOU KNOW, ONCE WE GET KIND OF PRETTY FAR ALONG, WE'LL START SELLING THE NDAS. AND THEN SHORTLY THEREAFTER, BUSINESS IS ALSO BE INVOLVED. SO YOU LOOK FORWARD TO IT AND, YOU KNOW, EXCITED TO GET UP HERE. IT'S BEEN A A YEAR. IT'S BEEN A QUICK YEAR. AND YOU GUYS ARE THE MARYSVILLE TEAM HAS BEEN REALLY GREAT TO WORK WITH. AND WE GOT THIS ADVANCED IN HERE. SO KUDOS TO THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM. WHAT'S YOUR ANTICIPATED LENGTH OF TIME TO COMPLETE THE RESIDENTIAL WORK? AND MARYSVILLE, THERE'S AROUND 10,000 RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN MARYSVILLE. AND IF I HAVE A GOOD SUMMER, I'LL GET BETWEEN 7 AND 8000 OF THOSE THIS YEAR. THIS YEAR IS MAINLY SOUTH OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS. WE GOT TO GET ACROSS RAILROAD TRACKS. THAT'LL PROBABLY BE NEXT YEAR. BY THE TIME WE GET ALL THOSE PERMITS, IT'LL BE SOUTH OF THE RAILROAD THIS YEAR. NORTH OF THE RAILROAD IN 2027, I GUESS.

SORRY. MY YEARS. SO ABOUT TWO CONSTRUCTION SEASON. WE SHOULD BE DONE. OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBERS, COMMENTS, QUESTIONS. MR. WARNER, I JUST HAVE MAYBE JUST A COMMENT THAN AN ASK. SURE. I HEAR FROM MANY OF MY NEIGHBORS, WHEN ARE WE GETTING FIBER? WHEN ARE WE GETTING FIBER? NOW WE'RE GETTING FIBER. BUT CAN YOU MAYBE JUST CLIFFNOTES EXPLAIN TO THE BROADER RESIDENT BASE THE BENEFITS OF FIBER VERSUS. SURE. YEAH. THE BENEFITS OF FIBER REALLY, HONESTLY, IS SPEED, THE AVAILABILITY, THE AVAILABILITY OF HIGH SPEED BROADBAND LEGACY TECHNOLOGIES.

YOU KNOW, YOUR INCUMBENT TELECOM TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER FOR TODAY, I BELIEVE

[00:35:01]

MINE'S 18 AND I'M AN EMPTY NESTER, BUT I GOT STOVES AND MICROWAVES AND TVS ALL HOOKED UP. SO THE BENEFIT OF HAVING FIBER IS REALLY THE AMOUNT OF BANDWIDTH AVAILABLE THAT RESIDENTS CAN USE. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. SO IF I'M SOUTH OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND YOU ARE OUT FRONT OF MY HOUSE, LIKE, WHEN WILL YOU BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY USE IT? DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE WHOLE CITY TO BE DONE, OR IS IT LIKE AS SOON AS THEY'RE DONE ON YOUR STREET LIKE YOU CAN? THAT IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION. SORRY I DIDN'T HIT ON THAT. WE ARE STARTING CONSTRUCTION IN APRIL ON THE FIBER NETWORK. OUR REAL ESTATE TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING WITH JEREMY AND HIS TEAM TO PUT A BUILDING IN ELDER PARK THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE UP AND RUNNING BY JULY 1ST. SO WE RIGHT NOW ARE ANTICIPATING THAT SERVICE AVAILABILITY WILL BE SOMEWHERE IN THE AUGUST TIME FRAME. WE LIKE TO TRY TO HAVE A COUPLE WHEN WE GO INTO COMMUNITIES LIKE THIS, I LIKE TO HAVE A COUPLE THOUSAND BUFFER. WE BRING CREWS UP, PUT THEM IN HOTELS AND THEY JUST SCHEDULE SUBDIVISIONS RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER. AND WE JUST IT'S MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO DO IT, BUT PROBABLY AROUND AUGUST, SOMETIME IN AUGUST. BUT WE'LL HAVE A, I'LL BE WORKING WITH TREVOR AND HIS TEAM MONTHLY, BUT WE'LL HAVE A BETTER UPDATE THEN. BUT RIGHT NOW ABOUT AUGUST. OKAY. DOES THIS REQUIRE A FIBER OPTIC CABLE TO BE RUN IN THE HOUSE AS WELL? YEAH, ONCE. OUR DEPLOYMENT UP HERE IS 100% UNDERGROUND. SO ONCE THE RESIDENT OF THE ISSUE SERVICE WITH US ISSUES A SERVICE ORDER WITH US AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE ON A SUCCESS BASE, A SECOND CREW WILL COME BACK AND BURY THE CABLE FROM THE PO BOX IN THE FRONT OF THE YARD TO THE HOUSE, AND THEN OUR TECHNICIANS WILL HOOK IT UP.

ALL THE CONTRACTORS INSTALL THE FIBER ARE CONTRACTORS THEY'VE BEEN WITH FIBER FOR. WE'VE BEEN DOING SINCE 201 ANYBODY WHO'S ACTUALLY IN THE HOUSE, CUSTOMER FACING IT WILL BE A FIELD TECHNICIAN THAT WORKS DIRECTLY WITH THE FIBER. WE DO NOT CONTRACT IT OUT FOR THE RESIDENTS. OTHER COMMENTS QUESTIONS? I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT WHERE I LIVED IN WEST VIRGINIA PREVIOUSLY, WE HAD IT WAS FRONTIER FIBER, BUT IT WAS FIBER AND IT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER THAN CABLE. SO IT'LL, IT'LL, IT'LL BE A GREAT THING FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND I KNOW YOU, I MEAN, HEALTHCARE, TELE LEARNING, ANOTHER PANDEMIC, ALL THOSE GREAT THINGS ARE COVERED.

WE DID WHEN WE WHEN THE COVID HIT IN CINCINNATI, WE WERE ABOUT 80% BUILT ON FIBER. AND IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER THE COVID PANDEMIC THAT ALL THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE HAD BUILT FIBER OUT REALIZED THEY DID NOT HAVE THE SAME TROUBLE AS ALL THE OTHER COMMUNITIES WERE HAVING, BECAUSE WE HAD ALREADY DONE ALL OUR WORK IN CINCINNATI. SO IT'S A GREAT THING FOR THE COMMUNITY. YOU'LL IT'LL BE A BENEFIT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WISE, FOR YEARS TO COME. I AM EXCITED TO SEE THE EXPANSION OF THIS OFFERING TO THE COMMUNITY. I GREW UP IN THE 90S. WE GOT INTERNET. AT SOME POINT WE WERE A LITTLE BIT JEALOUS OF AT FIRST OF THOSE WHO HAD IT. THEN WE GOT IT, YOU KNOW, IN A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW, THIS WILL BE MORE AND MORE CONSIDERED A LIFE ESSENTIAL TYPE UTILITY THAN IT IS TODAY. LIKE, YOU KNOW, INDOOR PLUMBING AND WHATNOT WAS 100 YEARS AGO. BUT I THINK INTERNET ACCESS AND THE EXPANSION OF AND THE EXPANSION OF, OF QUALITY, RELIABILITY PLAYS A FACTOR IN LITERACY AND ENSURING LITERACY, YOU KNOW, CAN BE A GOOD THING, YOU KNOW, BE SOMETHING THAT WE ARE STRONG IN, IN THIS COMMUNITY. YEAH. I LOOK FORWARD TO JUST, YOU KNOW, SEEING WHAT'S TO COME OF THIS THAT WE DON'T REALLY MEASURE. EVEN. SO, I DO ANTICIPATE, LIKE YOU SAID, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE RESIDENTS CALLING US. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO GIVE US AN UPDATE, SAY QUARTERLY TO KIND OF REVIEW PROGRESS AND KEEP THE COMMUNITY INFORMED IN THE PROGRESS OF YOUR WORK? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. WE DO HAVE MONTHLY UPDATES WITH YOUR TEAM, WITH THE STAFF RIGHT NOW. BUT YEAH, MORE THAN HAPPY

[00:40:06]

YOU KNOW, WE LIKE, I MEAN TWO YEARS IS QUICK. IT IS CONSTRUCTION. THERE'LL BE MUD.

THERE'LL BE THERE IS MUD. BEAR WITH US. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'LL FIND OUT ONCE WE GET STARTED.

THE FIRST 60 TO 90 DAYS, THERE'LL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT. EVENTUALLY THE WORD WILL GET OUT. I CAN'T EMPHASIZE ENOUGH. SEND THEM DIRECTLY TO US. I WILL TELL YOU. BEST PRACTICES. OTHER COMMUNITIES TRY TO MANAGE IT AT THE COUNCIL LEVEL. YOU'LL DRIVE YOURSELF CRAZY. CHANCES ARE I'LL GET THERE BEFORE YOU GET YOUR EMAIL.

TO ME, IT'S THE BEST WAY TO DO IT. THERE ARE RESIDENTS THOUGH, THAT SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. THEY WANT TO YELL AT ME, RIGHT? THEY WANT TO YELL AT YOU ABOUT ME. THEY DID HAVE STAFF THAT TOOK THAT COMPLAINT AND THEN CALLED THE 614 NUMBER. THERE'S ALSO AN ONLINE FORM YOU CAN DO IT IN.

SO AS YOU GET TO THAT POINT, YOU KNOW, IF SOMETHING'S NOT WORKING OUT, DO NOT HESITATE TO REACH OUT AND WE'LL MAKE IT WORK. AND THE OTHER THING I'D BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T MENTION IS ONCE WE ARE DONE WITH THE CITY, WE MADE A PROMISE THAT YOU GUYS ARE UNDER A TON OF DEVELOPMENT. YOU GUYS LIKE THE ANNEX UP HERE? WE HAVE MADE A COMMITMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, AS THAT GOES ON, WE WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO EXPAND INTO THAT COMMUNITY AS YOU CONTINUE TO BUILD NEW SUBDIVISIONS, STUFF LIKE THAT. BECAUSE I'D SAY SINCE WE STARTED TALKING TO STAFF ABOUT THIS, THERE'S PROBABLY BEEN A COUPLE THOUSAND UNITS IDENTIFIED, ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH HALF OF THE CITY SINCE WE STARTED TALKING. SO AS THAT GOES ON, WE WILL NOT LEAVE ANY PART OF THE COMMUNITY BEHIND. WE'LL CONTINUE TO BUILD OUR FIBER OUT AS THE COMMUNITY GROWS. OKAY. THE ONLY THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS WHEN YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WERE PUTTING DOWN GRASS, SEED AND SOIL AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE BURYING THESE BOXES. SO YOU SAID LIKE A YEAR IT WOULD TAKE FOR PEOPLE'S GRASS TO COME BACK. ARE YOU ARE YOU WILL YOU BE THE ONE TO PUT DOWN GRASS SEED WITHIN THAT YEAR TO YEAR IF IT DOESN'T COME BACK OR AND THEN LEVEL, YOU KNOW, ONCE THE GROUND HAS SETTLED AND IT SINKS, ARE YOU PUTTING TOPSOIL DOWN AND RESIDENTS YARDS TO LEVEL IT OUT, OR IS THAT GOING TO BE UP TO THE RESIDENT WHEN YOU'RE WHEN IT'S COMPLETED? THAT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY. AS LONG AS THE RESIDENTS LET US KNOW THOSE, THERE'S AN ISSUE, WE WILL COME BACK SO OUR CREWS DO NOT JUMP AROUND IN THE CITY. WE GIVE THEM ONE AREA TO COMPLETE AT A TIME. THAT COMPANY AND THAT CREW IS DEDICATED TO THAT AREA.

THEY OWN EVERYTHING START TO FINISH, INCLUDING PULLING THE FIBER, SPLICING THE FIBER. ONCE THE THE MESSY WORK IS DONE, THE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY, THEY WILL DO A ROUGH RESTORATION. I WILL TELL YOU THAT IN ITSELF WILL GENERATE A LOT OF CALLS BECAUSE THEY'LL SAY THEY'RE JUST RAKING IN ALL THE ROCKS AND ALL THAT STUFF THAT THEY TOOK OUT BACK IN HOLLAND.

ABSOLUTELY. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT SAFE SO NOBODY GETS HURT AND FALLS ON A HOLE. YOU KNOW, THAT'LL SETTLE NATURALLY, USUALLY 30 TO 60 DAYS ■DURING THAT PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTION.

ONCE THAT IS ALL DONE, THE GUYS DO A COMPLETE REVAMP OF THE AREA AND RESTORE TOPSOIL AND STRAW. THEN LIKE LAST FALL, WE COULD NOT NECESSARILY GET EVERYTHING IN THE FALL TIME FRAME. SO THIS WEEKEND, THIS WEEK AND NEXT COMING WEEKS WILL BE VERY BUSY FOR MY CREWS OVER IN THE DUBLIN AND POWER AREA, BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LIST OF EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE RESTORED AND THEY'LL GO BACK IN THE SPRING AND RESTORE IT. BUT AT ANY TIME, IF SOMEONE CALLS THAT SIX ONE, FOUR NUMBER AND SAYS, HEY, SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT, WE'LL DEFINITELY COME OUT AND FIX IT. OKAY? IT'S AN EASY TASK. IT'S AN EASY FIX. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? THANK YOU SIR. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THAT CONCLUDES OUR ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT. OKAY. REGARDING THE ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR CITY STAFF? THE ONLY THE ONLY THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS, IS REALLY FOR PARKS. BUT AS WE KNOW, WE HAD A MAJOR WIN EVENT. YOU KNOW, I DID SEE A COUPLE HICKORIES DOWN IN LEGION PARK AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY STREET TREES DOWN ANYWHERE, BUT JUST MAKING SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE FORESTRY DEPARTMENT, I KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS EXTRA FUNDS FOR THINGS LIKE THAT TO HAPPEN. BUT MAKING SURE THOUGH, THAT MORE DAMAGE WASN'T CAUSED THAN WHAT THE FUNDING ALLOWS BECAUSE THERE'S ALREADY A LIST OF, I'M SURE THE FORESTRY DEPARTMENT WAS ALREADY GOING TO PAY TO HAVE DONE SO. JUST MAKING SURE LIKE HOW MANY TREES DID COME DOWN AND DOES THAT IMPACT THE OVERALL BUDGET? AND DOES COUNCIL NEED TO ALLOCATE SOME FUNDING IN INTO THAT HELP COVER SOME OF THOSE FALLEN TREES COSTS, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. AND THEN THERE'S PROBABLY SOME INVENTORY WORK GOING ON RIGHT NOW BY ANDY. IS THAT CORRECT IT ON THE HEAD? YEAH. SO HE HAD ONLY, I GUESS OBSERVED THREE CALLERY PEAR STREET TREES THAT THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THE WIND.

BUT I KNOW IT HIT OUR PARK SYSTEM MUCH MORE. SO THAT'S THAT'S ONGOING. ANDY CONFIRMED THAT HE'S HELPING, YOU KNOW, HELPING DIAGNOSE THAT AND CALCULATE THAT NOW. SO WE'LL REPORT BACK IF THERE'S ANY BUDGET AMENDMENTS OR, YOU KNOW, ANY REALLOCATION OF FUNDS THAT ARE NECESSARY. OKAY. YEAH, JUST, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY COUNCIL VOTED TO STRENGTHEN OUR TREE

[00:45:03]

[REPORT OF CLERK OF COUNCIL]

IF YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR. CATTY CORNER FROM THE EAGLES, I BELIEVE. AND UNLIKE SOME OF THESE OTHER LIQUOR PERMIT REQUESTS THAT WE GET WHERE IT'S A BUSINESS SEEKING TO SAY CONTINUE OR IT'S A NEW BUSINESS THAT IS OPENING VERY SOON. THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE SEEKING TO GET THEIR LIQUOR PERMIT OR CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP OR WHATNOT. THIS IS A, A PROJECT IN ITS INFANCY, WHETHER OR NOT IT EVER COMES TO FRUITION, THAT HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED. THAT WOULD REQUIRE THIS PARTICULAR APP, AN APPLICANT TO THEN FILE TO, TO HAVE A, AN ESTABLISHMENT CREATED. BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE IS A PROSPECTIVE PROJECT OF POTENTIALLY A DRIVE THROUGH AT SOME POINT. BUT WHETHER OR NOT THAT EVER COMES TO FRUITION, THAT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT DEPENDS ON SUCCESSFUL, YOU KNOW, APPLICATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF ZONING AND DESIGN STANDARDS. BUT WHAT THIS IS, IS LOOKING AHEAD IN THAT PROJECT KIND OF LIFE AND SAYING, HEY, LET'S START AND SEE WHERE IT IS TO GO.

LET'S FILE FOR THIS LIQUOR PERMIT AND ANY IF THERE'S ANYTHING TO ADD, MR. AZNAR, LET ME KNOW. SUMMED IT UP PRETTY WELL. I MEAN, THIS OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN AN APPLICANT WHO HAS A BARE PIECE OF LAND THAT WANTS TO BUILD A STRUCTURE TO HAVE A BUSINESS THAT SELLS LIQUOR. SO, YOU KNOW, I DID TALK TO LIQUOR CONTROL. THEY DO AN ON SITE, ON SITE INSPECTION BEFORE THEY ISSUE, ACTUALLY ISSUE THE PERMIT. AND THE THE BUSINESS HAS TO BE READY TO GO THE NEXT DAY, OTHERWISE THEY WON'T ISSUE A PERMIT.MIT. SO AND THE STATUTE ALSO SAYS THAT THE MUNICIPALITY CAN'T REALLY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION ZONING REGULATIONS IN IN SUBMITTING A FORMAL OBJECTION. SO AT THIS POINT, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IF THEY IF THEY ABIDE BY OUR DESIGN STANDARDS AND OUR ZONING REGULATIONS AND BUILD A BUILDING THAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO OUR CITY ENGINEERING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT AND OPEN UP A BUSINESS, THEN THEY'LL LIKELY GET A PERMIT, UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S NOT COMPLIANT. SO BUT, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE CITY'S, YOU KNOW, POSITION, WE DON'T HAVE ANY GROUNDS TO OBJECT AT THIS POINT, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT A BUILDING THAT'S READY TO OPERATE AS A AS A, YOU KNOW, A BUSINESS TO SELL ALCOHOL. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BY MEMBERSF COUNCIL?

[PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT]

[00:50:05]

[DESIGN REVIEW BOARD REPORT]

SO THAT WRAPS UP THE OLD BUSINESS. AND THEN NEW BUSINESS INCLUDED EXTERIOR PLAN LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR A LANES CHICKEN LOCATED AT STATE OR AT THE INTERSECTION OF STATE ROUTE 31 AND NORTHWOODS DRIVE NEXT TO DUNKIN DONUTS. THE SITE PLAN AND LANDSCAPE PLAN WERE APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS WITH A VOTE OF SIX. YES. ZERO NO. THE ARCHITECTURE, SIGNAGE AND BUILDING LIGHTING WERE TABLED WITH A VOTE OF SIX. YES, ZERO NO AND THE APPLICANT WILL SUBMIT UPDATED PLANS FOR REVIEW AT A FUTURE MEETING. AND THEN FINALLY, ANOTHER EXTERIOR PLAN LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR PROPOSED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, WHICH THEY'RE CALLING SPEEDWAY CAFE.

AND THAT'S LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF STATE ROUTE 31 AND COOK'S BOULEVARD. THAT APPLICATION WAS WITHDRAWN FROM THE MARCH AGENDA BEFORE THE MEETING, SO NO ACTION WAS TAKEN, AND THEY WILL PLAN ON SUBMITTING AT A FUTURE MEETING. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS OF COUNCIL ON THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD REPORT. THANK YOU, MR. HOYT. APPRECIATE IT. MOVING ON TO HEARING OF CITIZENS. THIS IS A POINT IN TONIGHT'S EVENING, TONIGHT'S MEETING WHERE WE CITIZENS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY UP TO FIVE MINUTES TO APPROACH THE PODIUM, STATE YOUR ADDRESS AND MAKE COMMENTS ON ITEMS THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO PENDING LEGISLATION. SO IF THAT IS YOU TONIGHT, YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME UP TO THE PODIUM. OKAY.

[07-26]

AND SO WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS TO APPROVE THE NAMING OF THAT PARK. AND THEN I BELIEVE WHETHER DONALD OR OR STEPHEN WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO IT A LITTLE BIT. THERE MAY BE SOME OTHER THINGS. THIS IS ALL PART OF AMERICA. 250 WE THINK IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY RIGHT NOW TO TO GIVE THAT FINALLY GIVE THAT PARK A NAME. SO SO AS PART OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATE, IS THERE ANY COMMENTS YOU WOULD LIKE TO, TO ADD TO THIS? NO, NO COMMENTS ON MY END FROM, FROM THE COMMISSION. IT WENT THROUGH AND PASSED UNANIMOUSLY AND THERE WAS PLENTY OF SUPPORT.

IT'S I'M A HISTORY NERD, SO I LIKE THIS KIND OF THING AND I APPRECIATE DONALD BRINGING IT FORWARD. BUT IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT MAKES SENSE, NOT VERY CONTROVERSIAL. AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S WE HAVE A NEW PROCESS KIND OF WITH NAMING PARKS AND OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE FROM 18, I THINK IT WAS 30 SOMETHING, COULDN'T FIND TOO MUCH ON THEM, PROBABLY NOT ANYTHING TOO CRAZY AND SEEMS LIKE HE'S WELL ENOUGH GUY CITIES NAMED AFTER HIS DAUGHTER.

SO IT MAKES SENSE. YOUR MIC HERE. IF SO, THE THE REASON WHY I BELIEVE THIS IS IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SMALL TOWN CHARM AND HOW TO PROTECT SMALL TOWN VALUES IN A COMMUNITY THAT'S OBVIOUSLY GROWING. SOME PEOPLE LOVE IT, SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT. BUT MY JOB IS TO FIND WAYS TO SUPPORT HISTORY, COMMUNITY AND ENGAGING ONE ANOTHER TOGETHER, TO REMEMBER WHERE WE CAME FROM AND WHO WHO WE ARE. THIS GENTLEMAN, LIKE MISTER, LIKE COUNCILMAN WOLFF SAID WAS WAS SAMUEL AND HE FOUNDED MARYSVILLE. HIS DAUGHTER WAS MARY. AND AND MARYSVILLE RECEIVED HER NAME. THERE IS A PLAQUE IN FRONT OF CITY HALL THAT WASAT WAS ON THE IT SAYS FM THE NATIONAL REGISTRY THAT BRIEFLY TALKS ABOUT IT. BUT AS

[00:55:02]

WE HAVE A MOTION ROLL CALL, MR. WOLFF. YES. MR. BURGER YES. MR. HUNTER. YES, MRS. PACKAGE. YES.

MR. REIMS. YES. MRS. YOUNG. YES. MR. BORDNER. YES. LEGISLATION PASSES. OKAY. THANK YOU. 08-261

[08-26]

I THINK JEREMY HAS CONFIRMED THAT IT IS, IN FACT, BEING USED FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES. SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE ADMINISTRATION'S POSITION. OKAY. CITIZENS. OKAY. NO CITIZEN COMMENTS. COUNCIL COMMENTS. QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO PASS THE LEGISLATION. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION ROLL CALL, MR. BURGER. YES. MR. HUNTER. YES. MRS. TECH. YES. MR. REIMS. YES. MRS. YOUNG. YES. MR. BODNAR. YES. MR. WOLFF. YES.

[05-26]

THIS IS JUST A QUESTION FOR MR. EISNER. SO THE COMMENT FOR THOSE WHO COULDN'T HEAR IT WAS THE REQUEST WAS TO TABLE TO THE 27TH. AND THEN THERE IS SOME TIME FROM THE TIME PUBLIC HEARING OCCURS UNTIL WE HAVE SO MANY DAYS. COULD YOU. THERE IS THIS IS A ZONING AMENDMENT. SO OUR CODE STATES THAT COUNCIL HAS TO TAKE FINAL ACTION WITHIN 90 DAYS OF THE ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARING. I BELIEVE THAT TIME EXPIRES ON MAY 24TH. SO ANY TIME BEFORE MAY 24TH AND THEN OUR SECOND MEETING IN MAY IS MAY 26TH. SO IT WOULD HAVE TO BE EITHER APRIL 20TH 7TH OR THE 11TH OF MAY. WHAT WAS THE PROPOSED DATE AGAIN THEN? APRIL 27TH. APRIL 20TH. OKAY, 27TH, THERE'S A MEETING. SECOND MEETING IN APRIL, RIGHT? YEAH. AND THE MOVING FOR FORWARD ON T.

SO I, YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE THERE'S SOME. OKAY, I THINK WE COME TO CONCLUSION ON THIS.

[01:00:04]

MR. BORDNER. YES. MR. WOLFF. YES. MR. BERGER. YES. MOTION PASSES. OKAY. THIS WILL BE BACK

[10-26]

WE HAVE A MOTION ROLL CALL. MRS. PACKAGE. YES. MR. REAMS YES. MRS. YOUNG YES. MR. BOGDANR. YES. MR. WOLFE. YES. MR. BERGER. YES. MR. HUNTER. YES. LEGISLATION PASSES 18-26.

[18-26]

MR. BERGER. YES. MR. HUNTER. YES. MRS. TECHIT YES. SEVEN. YES. LEGISLATION PASSES 19-26.

[19-26]

FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T KNOW IF I WAS ABLE TO SAY IT LAST TIME, BUT I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE COUNCIL MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS. ON SECOND READING AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. IT'S GIVEN US THE MOST OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SALE. TO THAT END, THERE HAS BEEN SOME MOVEMENT AND, WELL, WE'LL JUST SAY THE ECONOMY AND RATES HAVE MOVED AS A RESULT OF THAT. SO WE DID GET AN UPDATE FROM THE SAME TEAM THAT WAS HERE JUST TWO WEEKS AGO. AND USING A ALL IN RATE OF 3.44%, THAT WOULD BRING OUR CASH FLOW SAVINGS DOWN TO 5 MILLION. WHEREAS TWO WEEKS AGO, THE ALL IN RATE WAS ANTICIPATED TO BE AT SALE OF

[01:05:03]

AND IF YOU LOOK AT A MAJORITY OF THE SYSTEMS IN THE STATE OF OHIO, THEY ARE NOT GROWING. SO HOW MUCH DEBT DO THEY HAVE ON A YEAR TO YEAR BASIS? PROBABLY NOT NEARLY WHAT WE HAVE. WE'VE DONE TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF UPGRADES SINCE THE LAST TIME WE ISSUED DEBT, WHICH WAS REFINANCED BACK IN 2016. SO THE LAST TEN YEARS I HARBOR, I GUESS IT'S PROBABLY WELL OVER $100 MILLION WORTH OF PROJECTS OR VERY CLOSE TO THAT AT THIS POINT. AND WE HAVE NOT ISSUED $0.01 OF DEBT RELATED TO THAT. SO I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S STILL VERY HEALTHY SYSTEM, EVEN THOUGH THEY VIEW THE DEBT TO EQUITY AS BEING HIGH. AND THE OTHER THING THEY NOTED WAS WE ARE RELIANT ON SOME LARGER CUSTOMERS, WHICH FRANKLY IS TRUE. HOWEVER, I WOULD NOTE THAT WHEN WE LAST WERE GIVEN A RATING, IT WAS ALSO AA3. AND IN THE LAST DECADE WE HAVE SEEN CONSIDERABLE GROWTH OF. PROPERTIES, WHETHER RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL. I THINK MUCH LIKE ON THE INCOME TAX SIDE OF THINGS, IS DIVERSIFIED. OUR INCOME CONSIDERABLY, HOWEVER, STILL DIDN'T QUITE GET US TO THAT. AA TWO I DON'T KNOW WHY I CARE SO MUCH BECAUSE IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T MAKE THAT BIG A DIFFERENCE, BUT I DO. I REALLY THOUGHT, MAN, WE WERE RIGHT THERE. WE HAD TO BE RIGHT THERE. BUT YOU KNOW, MAYBE NEXT TIME. SO ALL IN ALL, STILL VERY GOOD PLACE TO REFINANCE, STILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SAVINGS. JUST KNOW THAT WHEN THE SALE IS SET, I WILL CERTAINLY PASS ALONG THAT INFORMATION AND LET YOU KNOW.

BUT RIGHT NOW WE ARE GOING TO PUT OURSELVES IN A SMALL AMOUNT OF HOLDING PATTERN AND JUST KIND OF SEE WHERE RATES GO. I'LL PAUSE FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. FIRST, HERE IS CITIZEN COMMENTS. ARE THERE ANY CITIZENS WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM AND IF SO, COME UP TO THE PODIUM. NOW WOULD BE THE TIME. OKAY, SEEING NO CITIZEN COMMENTS. COUNCIL MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. QUESTIONS. COMMENTS. MR. PRESIDENT, YOU KNOW, WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS VERY TOPIC DURING THIS EVENING'S FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING WHERE, YOU KNOW, DISAPPOINTING THAT WE ARE SEEING THE ECONOMY SHIFT SLIGHTLY. WE'RE STILL IN A REALLY GOOD POSITION. SO OVERALL, HAPPY WITH WHERE WE'RE HEADING AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO

[01:10:08]

[20-26]

ADMINISTRATION. JEREMY, DO WE HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER TO ADD ON THIS? OKAY. NOTHING FURTHER.

THANK YOU CITIZENS. COUNCIL. I'LL JUST MAKE ONE COMMENT HERE. IT'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING I SAW ONLINE OVER THE LAST WEEK OR SO, BUT THIS IS BASED ON INFORMATION FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, CLEMSON, MICHIGAN STATE AND THEN THE USDA. A MATURE TREE INCREASES A HOME'S VALUE BY 7 TO 19% ON A $400,000 HOME. THAT'S AROUND 28 TO $76,000. A SINGLE SHADE TREE PRODUCES THE COOLINGQUIVALENTT OF TEN ROOM SIZE AIR CONDITIONERS RUNNING 20 HOURS A DAY ON A TREE ON THE WEST SIDE OF A HOUSE. IT CUTS ENERGY BILLS BY 12% WITHIN 15 YEARS.

AND WE SEE A LOT OF NEIGHBORHOODS NOWADAYS, ESPECIALLY AROUND HERE, BECAUSE WE'RE BUILDING ON FARMLAND. YOU HAVE SMALLER, SMALLER TREES AND NO KIND OF NATURALLY OCCURRING TREES. BUT I THINK THAT INFORMATION KIND OF SPEAKS TO THE IMPORTANCE OF THE QUALITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS WE'RE BUILDING. AND, YOU KNOW, THE STREET TREE, THE PARKLAND, ALL THAT KIND OF TIES TOGETHER INTO MAKING A COMMUNITY AND A NEIGHBORHOOD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE, BUT ALSO INCREASING THE VALUE OF WHERE YOU'RE LIVING IN THE HOME AND KIND OF PROPERTY THAT YOU OWN. THANK YOU. AND YOU SAID THAT WAS MICHIGAN STATE, RIGHT? I IT A COMBINATION OF UNIVERSITIES, BUT MICHIGAN STATE, CLEMSON, WASHINGTON STATE. OKAY. GOOD GREEN. THANK YOU, MR. WOLF. I SOMEONE HAD SHARED THAT ARTICLE WITH ME AS WELL. SO VERY GOOD.

GOOD POINT TO NOTE. THANK YOU. I'M. HOW. HOW MUCH DID YOU SAY IT INCREASE THE VALUE OF THE HOUSE ANYWHERE FROM 7 TO 19% DEPENDING ON THE AREA. MR. GO AHEAD. THE THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS THAT IF YOU LOOK AT PICTURES OF IN THE 1870S OF NEBRASKA, WHEN NEBRASKA WAS FIRST SETTLED, IT'S JUST A PRAIRIE. AND YOU LOOK AT NEBRASKA NOW AND IT'S WHERE THE ARBOR DAY FOUNDATION WAS OBVIOUSLY CREATED, AND THE AMOUNT OF TREES THAT THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO PLANT, THERE'S A BENEFIT TO WHY PEOPLE INVEST IN BEAUTIFICATION PROJECTS. NOT ONLY DO THEY MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY, BUT IN RETURN, YOU KNOW, IF IF THERE WASN'T A FINANCIAL BENEFIT, THEN SADLY WE WOULDN'T DO IT. MR. REIMS, I JUST WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT SOME CHANGES HERE. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE THE FEES HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED AND INFLATION HAS REALLY EATEN AWAY AT WHAT WE COULD ACCOMPLISH WITH THE FEES THAT WE WERE COLLECTING. SO IT IS DEFINITELY TIME TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS.

I MEAN, I WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, WHEN I LOOKED IT UP, INFLATION HAS BASICALLY DOUBLED THE COST OF EVERYTHING OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS. AND I, I DON'T THINK THIS HAS BEEN CHANGED IN 30 YEARS OR SO. SO, YOU KNOW, WE ARE BASICALLY DOUBLING THE COST OF THE IMPACT FEE ON A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, LOOKING AT THE INDUSTRIAL AND THE COMMERCIAL SIDE, WE CHANGED THE FORMULA. AND I THOUGHT WHEN WE TALKED HERE THE LAST TIME THAT WE WERE KIND OF ABOUT DOUBLING THE COST. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FACT THAT WE CHANGED THE FORMULA, IT CHANGES IT PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY. AND I GUESS HERE, HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES. THE OPUS BUILDING, YOU KNOW, THE OLD FEE ABOUT 18,000. THE NEW FEE 67,500. HARDY WORLD 8900. THE NEW FEE 37,500. SOUTH GATE

[01:15:16]

YOU CAN LOOK AT KROGER GOING FROM 9000 TO 72,000. IT'S AN EIGHT TIMES INCREASE OR MCDONALD'S GOING FROM 549 TO 5000 OVER NINE TIMES INCREASE. AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE OR REMEMBER THAT THESE ARE BASICALLY IMPACT FEES WE'RE CHARGING FOR THE IMPACT THAT THESE BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS CREATE. YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE IMPACT OF ADDING 100 PEOPLE TO THE CITY? YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE INCREASED DEMAND ON OUR PARKS? AND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE COST TO DEVELOP THESE PARKS TO ACCOMMODATE THAT. AND IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE A TAX. I MEAN, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TAX AND AN IMPACT FEE. AN IMPACT FEE IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE TRUE COST OF OF THE INCREASED COST THAT IT IS TO THE CITY. AND THE DEVELOPMENT PAYS THAT. AND I, I THINK THAT WHEN WE HAVE A FEE THAT CHANGED TO THE POINT THAT IT'S NOW INCREASING THE COST BY MORE THAN TEN TIMES, IN SOME CASES WE MIGHT HAVE GONE TOO FAR.O I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS TO KIND OF LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS A LITTLE BIT MORE AND SEE IF, IF THIS IS REALLY THE RIGHT FORMULA THAT WE WANT TO USE, BECAUSE I REALLY THINK IT'S HARD TO JUSTIFY INCREASING SOME OF THESE COSTS EIGHT, NINE, TEN TIMES. SO THAT THAT'S ALL I WANT TO SAY ABOUT THAT. OKAY.

OTHER MEMBERS COUNCIL COMMENTS. THE ONLY, THE ONLY, THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE IS I UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S SAYING. BUT YOU KNOW, MCDONALD'S AND ALL THESE BUSINESSES, IT'S A TAX WRITE OFF TO THEM. AND IT'S OUR RESIDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY BECAUSE AT A 1.5 INCOME TAX, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO DO THE THINGS THAT OUR RESIDENTS WANT US TO DO. SO YOU GOT TO FIND THE MONEY SOMEWHERE. AND RESIDENTS ARE DEMANDING EVERY DAY THAT BUSINESS SHOULD PAY FOR ITSELF, DEVELOPMENT SHOULD PAY FOR ITSELF. AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. AND WE WERE ALREADY TOLD BY CITY STAFF THAT WE'RE NOT EVEN NEARLY AS HIGH AS OTHER COMMUNITIES AROUND US. SO TO GO LOWER IS JUST WE'RE ALWAYS PLAYING CATCH UP AND RESIDENTS ARE COMPLAINING BECAUSE THE STREETS AREN'T DONE. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH STAFF, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE TO MAINTAIN OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. AND I THINK THAT MOVING BACK WOULD BE A STEP IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. FORGIVE ME, BUT ISN'T THIS PRIVATE PROPERTY? ISN'T THE TREES THAT WE'RE PUTTING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY? WHEN MY TREE CAME UP MISSING, I WAS TOLD THIS PARKLAND DEVELOPMENT. OH, OKAY. SO IT COULD BE TREES. IT COULD BE. AM I IN THE WRONG ONE? IT COULD BE PARKED EQUIPMENT. IT COULD BE ANYTHING WITHIN THE PARKS. BUT ALL FOR JUST PARKS. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT KROGER'S. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT. NO. THIS IS THEIR THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO PARKLAND DEVELOPMENT. OKAY. FORGET IT. I'LL GO OFF ON ANOTHER ONE. OKAY. HAVE YOU ANY OTHER SORRY, HAVE YOU LOOKED AT AND FORGIVE ME BECAUSE I HAVEN'T GONE INTO THOSE NUMBERS, BUT HAVE YOU LOOKED AT HOW MUCH A SIMILAR COMPANY OF THAT SIZE HAS PAID, SAY, IN DUBLIN OR IN ANY OF THE SURROUNDING? I HAVEN'T GONE THERE YET. THESE NUMBERS ARE BASICALLY FROM TODAY. BUT, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT SOME OF THESE NUMBERS, YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, THE SOUTH GATE BUILDING, YOU KNOW, 62,000, THAT WOULD BE THE EQUIVALENT OF OVER 300 HOMES. RIGHT? SO IS THAT RIGHT? 30 HOMES, 30 HOMES. SO, YOU KNOW, DO WE HAVE THE SAME IMPACT ON OUR PARKS FROM THE SOUTH GATE BUILDING THAT WE DO FROM A DEVELOPMENT WITH, YOU KNOW, 30 SOME HOUSES? SO I THINK IT'S JUST KIND OF TAKING ANOTHER LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, TAKING A LOOK AT HOW WE'RE CALCULATING BECAUSE WE CHANGED THE FORMULA

[01:20:01]

[01:25:02]

OKAY. I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE TREE AT THIS POINT. IT'S GONE. THE CITY TOOK IT DOWN.

THE CITY TOOK IT DOWN. OKAY, OKAY. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? THIS WILL BE BACK FOR

[21-26]

[01:30:03]

MR. HUNTER. YES. MRS. TAKACS. YES. MR. REIMS. YES. MRS. YOUNG. YES. MOTION PASSES. OKAY, THEN.

WITHOUT THE FURTHER WAIVING OF SECOND READING AND TRYING TO PASS THAT TONIGHT, THEN THIS WOULD BE BACK FOR SECOND READING. PUBLIC HEARING ON APRIL 13TH 2020 622-26. TO

[22-26]

MRS. YES. MR. REIMS. YES. MRS. YOUNG. YES. MR. BOGDANR. YES. LEGISLATION. MOTION PASSES.

[24-26]

MR. REIMS. YES. MRS. YOUNG. YES. MR. BODNAR. YES. MR. WOLFF. YES. MR. BERGER. YES. SEVEN. YES.

[25-26]

NOTHING FURTHER. COUNCIL. MR. PRESIDENT, I'VE NOTICED LAST YEAR THAT THERE WERE A NUMBER OF THE STREET TREES THAT DIED IN THIS AREA, AND IT LOOKED LIKE MAYBE THEY WERE WAITING TO FINISH SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION ON THOSE WOODSIDE APARTMENTS BEFORE THEY REPLACED THOSE, AND I DON'T THINK THEY'VE ALL BEEN REPLACED YET. SO CAN WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE ON THAT? YEAH, I'LL RECONFIRM WITH ANDY, BUT I KNEW THAT SINCE THAT WAS MENTIONED, A PUBLIC SAFETY

[01:35:02]

SO THAT WAS THE ONE THING HE MENTIONED. BUT I'LL RECONFIRM THAT WITH HIM AND TAKE A DRIVE OUT THERE BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING. WILL WE BE ABLE TO TELL IF HE SURVIVED OR NOT AT THIS TIME OF YEAR? I WILL CONSULT WITH ANDY AND HE WILL PROBABLY BE ABLE TO TELL NOT NOT NOT A TREE GUY. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS OF COUNCIL? WELL, MR. REMES, ARE YOU SAYING THAT WE SHOULD JUST WAIT ON THIS ONE OR. WELL, DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE ANSWERED THEIR IMPLICATIONS? WE CAN SEE, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY GET A MAYBE AN INVENTORY UPDATE, YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS PLANNED, WHAT'S STILL ALIVE AND AND WHAT THE PLANS ARE FOR REPLACEMENT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IF WE CAN HAVE THAT HERE IN THREE WEEKS, YOU KNOW THAT THAT'D BE GREAT. OKAY.

I MEAN, WE CAN STILL WAIT FOR YOU. WE'RE NOT HAPPY WITH THE ANSWER. WE NEED TO PULL OFF. WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT TIME. THE DATES HAVE BEEN RECORDED IN THREE WEEKS. IS MORE THAN REASONABLE, RIGHT? WE'LL GET INFORMATION MUCH SOONER, SO. OKAY. THANK YOU THEN. WITH THAT THEN, IS THERE A MOTION TO WAIVE THIRD READING? MR. PRESIDENT, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO WAIVE THIRD READING. OKAY. ROLL CALL. MRS. PACKAGE. YES, MR. REMES YES. MRS. YOUNG. YES.

MR. BODNAR. YES. MR. WOLFF. YES. MR. BERGER. YES. MR. HUNTER. YES. MOTION PASSES. LET'S BE

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

SO BE VERY COGNIZANT OF THAT OUT THERE. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MISS YOUNG. I WISH I COULD ENJOY THE WEATHER, I'M TOO BUSY DOING TAXES RIGHT NOW. SO TO ANYBODY OUT THERE THAT HASN'T FILED THEIR TAXES, GO AHEAD AND GET YOUR TAXES FILED.

AS FOR THE DONATE TO LIFE, I'VE PERSONALLY BEEN AFFECTED BY IT. THE LAST MONTH, MY CONTRACTOR WENT IN FOR A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT EIGHT DAYS LATER, HAD A HEART TRANSPLANT, AND WASN'T EVEN ON THE HEART TRANSPLANT LIST WHEN HE ENTERED THE HOSPITAL, WHICH HAS CHANGED MY LIFE OVER, APPARENTLY FOR THE NEXT YEAR. BUT HOPEFULLY HE'LL BE ABLE TO COME BACK TO WORK WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR. BUT HE'S DOING REALLY WELL AND I SUPPORT, YOU KNOW, ORGAN DONATION DONATION. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU, MR. REAMS. I, I HAD A QUESTION THAT I WAS ASKED THIS WEEK ABOUT THE, THE CROSSWALKS ON PROFESSIONAL PARKWAY THAT ARE RAISED. ONE OF THEM HAS A SIGN THAT SAYS SPEED HUMP, AND THE OTHER ONE IS A RAISED CROSSWALK.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? THEY SOUND VERY SIMILAR TO ME, BUT I CAN I WILL DEFINITELY GET GET

[01:40:08]

MARYSVILLE SCHOOLS IS ON SPRING BREAK. SAINT JOHN'S AND OUR NEIGHBORS IN FAIRBANKS ARE RIGHT NOW, SO I HOPE THEY ARE ENJOYING IT AND WE WILL BE THROUGH EASTER BY THE TIME OUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. SO WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY EASTER SEASON WITH YOUR FAMILY AND HOPEFULLY THIS LITTLE COLD SNAP WE'RE IN. THIS WEEK ENDS AND WE CAN HAVE A NICE EASTER SEASON. THANK YOU, MR. BORNER. YEAH, WHAT A WILD WEEKEND RIGHT 85 YESTERDAY TO 45 TODAY. SO WELCOME TO CENTRAL OHIO. I TERRI STOLE MY THUNDER SPRING BREAK IS THIS WEEK FOR SOME AND NEXT WEEK FOR OTHERS. SO KIDS WILL BE OUT. THEY WILL BE THEY ARE. IF THEY'RE ANYTHING LIKE MY KIDS, THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT THE MOST OBSERVANT. SO PLEASE TRY TO ANTICIPATE. THEM RIDING THEIR BIKES OUT IN FRONT OF YOU. SO OTHER THAN THAT, SEE YOU AFTER EASTER AND ENJOY YOUR FAMILY AND GOD BLESS. THANK YOU, MR. WOLFF. YEAH, I'LL I'LL ALSO REITERATE A HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO GO, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO HOST YOU AT THE ROCK CHURCH IN MARYSVILLE AND HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GOOD, YOU KNOW, BEGINNING OF SPRING HERE AND BASEBALL SEASON IS GETTING UNDERWAY. SO LOOKING LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING THE REDS PLAY FINALLY AGAIN. ALL RIGHT, MR. BERGER, THE ONLY THING WELL, A COUPLE THINGS I WANTED TO SAY.

FIRST OF ALL, TODAY IS A NORMAL DAY AND THE MONTH OF MARCH. SO WE'RE NOT USED TO THESE DAYS BECAUSE IT'S BEEN SO LIKE OVER THE WEEKEND IT WAS 80 DEGREES. BUT THIS IS A NORMAL TEMPERATURE DAY FOR US. BUT I WANTED TO WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY EASTER. WE WON'T BE MEETING, BUT HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY GETS OUT. NO MATTER WHO'S AT YOUR DINNER TABLE OR, OR YOUR BREAKFAST TABLE AND WHO YOU CALL FAMILY, I HOPE THAT IT'S A GOOD ONE. THE OTHER THING IS, IS THAT AS WE TALK ABOUT PASSENGER RAIL, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE AS A CITY PRIORITIZE ZONING AND PRIORITIZE DESIGN FOR THE UPTOWN. IF YOU ARE WAITING ON A TRAIN AND YOU'RE PARKING, YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO WALK AND DO SOMETHING. IF THAT'S A CAFE, IF THAT'S MAYBE A, A BOOKSTORE, MAYBE AN ANTIQUE STORE OR WHATEVER YOU MIGHT HAVE. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHEN IT'S MAYBE THERE'S A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP OF FREE WI-FI IN THE AREA, REDEVELOPMENT OF THAT AREA WITH ZERO SETBACKS TO MIMIC WHAT IS ALREADY IN THE UPTOWN TO, TO CONTINUE THAT BUILDING UP TO THE SIDEWALK WITH PARKING IN THE BACK, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THIS IS ACTUALLY WHERE THE TRAIN STATION IS GOING TO BE, AND IF IT'S GOING TO BE TEN YEARS, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN THE DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS, WE KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT'S GOING TO BE BUILT. ZONING IS CRUCIAL TO VISIONING, AND YOU CAN'T DO ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER. AND SO I WOULD SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, IF IF RAIL STATIONS IS TEN YEARS, THEN WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT WHEN THE DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS, IT'S FITTING MARYSVILLE STANDARD, NOT ANYBODY ELSE'S.

THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. SO I JUST WANTED TO MENTION A COUPLE THINGS. I'VE READ STORIES ABOUT POLITICAL SIGNS DISAPPEARING IN MY YARD. ONE APPEARED, SO IT BLEW AWAY IN THE WINDSTORM AND THEN SOMEONE PUT IT BACK. SO WHOEVER THAT WAS, THANK YOU FOR TAKING THAT ON AND KNOWING THAT IT WENT IN MY YARD BECAUSE IT DID BLOW AWAY. MR. HOYT, APPRECIATE ALL THE HATS YOU'RE WEARING TONIGHT. I KNOW WE WERE MISSING ASHLEY. WE HAD, YOU KNOW, OUR CITY ENGINEER TONIGHT. YOU KNOW YOUR MANY THINGS TONIGHT. SO APPRECIATE. BRAD. I LIKE HEARING ABOUT THE IDEA OF POTENTIALLY SAVING MONEY AS WELL. BUT YEAH. JEREMY THANKS FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION IN THE MEETING TONIGHT. I'M, I'M, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING BETS ON WHETHER OR NOT YOUR PREDICTION ON TREE SURVIVAL IS GOING TO BE RIGHT OR NOT. SO WE'LL BE DOING THAT. SEE, WHAT ELSE WAS I GOING TO MENTION? OH, SO YOU MENTIONED ABOUT WALKABILITY. YES. THERE ARE GOOD CHICKEN FINGERS AND WAFFLE FRIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE GOING ON, BUT YOU COULD ALSO PARK IN THE UPTOWN, USE THE MARYSVILLE PARKING APP TO DETERMINE WHERE THE OPEN SPOTS ARE, AND THEN WALK YOURSELF THERE OVER AND GET SOME CHICKEN FINGERS AND WAFFLE FRIES IF THAT'S, YOU KNOW, SUITS YOUR FANCY. SO PEDESTRIAN WALKABILITY, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WITH NICER WEATHER, WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF. SO AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO NECESSARILY WAIT IN THAT LONG, POTENTIALLY LONG LINE. SO THEN THAT AND ONE MORE, ONE MORE ITEM THAT HAD COME TO MIND THIS EVENING. AND COUNCILMAN BURBY WOULD, WOULD,

[01:45:04]

THAT'S IT'S GOOD FOR MOTORCYCLES PASSING THROUGH. IT'S JUST GOOD FOR A LOT OF A LOT OF REASONS. BUT YEAH, DON'T BLOW YOUR CLIPPINGS OUT INTO THE STREET AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE THAT SO MUCH. THANK YOU ALL TO THE LIFELINE PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO STAND HERE AND BE RECOGNIZED WITH LIFELINE TONIGHT, MAKING THEIR WAY OUT TO THE MEETING. IT TAKES TIME TO COME IN AND OUT, BUT I THINK IT'S JUST A POWERFUL THING. THE ORGAN DONATION, I KNOW COLLEAGUES, FAMILY MEMBERS, SO ON AND SO FORTH IN MY LIFE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THAT AND IMPACTED BY THE GIFT OF THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO, TO PROACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN ORGAN DONATION. AND FOR ALL OF YOU WHO ARE COMING HERE TONIGHT, SOME FAMILIAR FACES, YOU'RE HERE PRETTY MUCH, YOU KNOW, REGULARLY WE RECOGNIZE THAT. SO APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENDANCE AND WILLINGNESS TO ENGAGE IN YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND AT THIS TIME, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. SO MOVED. OKAY.
