[ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT]

AND MCKENZIE'S DRIVING. SO THAT'S AWESOME. YEAH WE WILL GO. I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE MY COLLEAGUES BEFORE I WILLO. GO. THIS IS JUD HAMMOND. JUD HAS GOT A RESUME LIKE THIS. HE KNOWS PROPERTY VALUATION IN OHIO BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE I KNOW, AND HE CURRENTLY IS A VENDOR TO ME AND HANDLES A VARIETY OF THINGS. BUT LARGELY OUR CLASS TWO, WHICH IS COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL VALUATION. SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT COMMERCIAL, THAT COULD BE AN APARTMENT COMPLEX. IT COULD BE A DATA CENTER, WHATEVER IS NOT A RESIDENTIAL HOME. HE OVERSEES THE VALUATION OF THOSE KINDS OF PROPERTIES. SO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS JUST GO, MACKENZIE, YOU CAN JUST YOU JUST DO IT. I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF SLIDES ON JUST THE RECENT REVIVAL. AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE REEVALUATE PROPERTIES EVERY THIRD AND SIXTH YEARS, AND THAT'S REQUIRED BY LAW. ALL 88 COUNTIES HAVE THE SAME RULES THAT THEY HAVE TO ABIDE BY. IN OHIO MARKET IS KING. OHIO LAW SAYS THAT FOR PROPERTY TAX PURPOSES, AD VALOREM TAX PURPOSES, THE BASIS ON WHICH WE APPLY THE TAX RATE IS MARKET VALUE, AND THE BEST INDICATOR OF MARKET VALUE IS A VALID RECENT SALE. SO THERE'S TWO WORDS THERE. VALID AND RECENT.

VALID DOES NOT MEAN LEGAL. VALID MEANS NOT A FORECLOSURE NOT A BANKRUPTCY. YOU'RE NOT

[00:05:02]

IT'S ACTUALLY THAT SHORT. THE SUPREME COURT HAS SAID 24 MONTHS. SO WHEN WE'RE GOING BACK TO A SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOOD, DAVE AND I, MY HUSBAND'S WITH ME. WE LIVE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF MILL VALLEY. DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE 12 PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT IN MILL VALLEY? WE LIVE IN THE FOURTH PHASE OF ION, AND WE ARE LOOKING AT SALES IN OUR AREA OF MILL VALLEY, OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD HAVE BOUGHT HOMES IN OUR AREA, NOT CLOSE TO THE HIGHWAY. THOSE WERE BUILT IN THE LATE 90S. NOBODY THAT'S LOOKING TO BUY A HOME ON A CIRCLE WHERE I LIVE WOULD PROBABLY LOOK AT THE SOUTHERN PART OF CREEK VIEW. THIS WOULD NOT BE A SUBSTITUTION PURCHASE. SO THIS IS WEAVER JUST JUST ONE. COULD YOU PUT THE MIC TOWARD YOU? JUST POINT IT. WE'RE LOOKING AT HOMES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU. AND IT'S JUST HARD WHEN YOU'RE TALKING AN EXAMPLE. DON'T MEAN TO TALK TO YOU DO I? SHOULD I JUST ADDRESS YOU? YES.

NORMALLY WHEN YOU ARE. SORRY. I DIDN'T KNOW THE PROTOCOL. NO, NO, BUT BUT IT'S OKAY. ONE POINT OF CAUTION TO YOU. THERE IS A MYSTERY BUTTON THERE BEHIND YOU THAT WILL OPEN THE DOOR. WE'LL HAVE A GHOST OPEN THE DOOR IF YOU IF YOU DO, BACK UP AGAINST THAT. SO JUST A WORD OF CAUTION. AND THEN AND THEN BECAUSE IT'S LIVE STREAMED, IT'S JUST HARDER WHEN YOUR VOICE IS AWAY FROM THE MICROPHONE. OKAY, I'LL BE RIGHT HERE. OKAY. WE'RE JUST LETTING YOU KNOW. OKAY. SO WHAT WE DO IN THAT THIRD AND SIXTH YEAR IS LOOK IN SALES IN THAT, IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD TO SEE WHAT THE TRENDS ARE FOR THAT, FOR THAT PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT SALES OUTSIDE OF THAT, OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD TO SEE WHAT IS COMPARABLE. AND WE DO THAT EVERY THIRD AND SIXTH YEAR, THE SIXTH YEAR, WHICH WE JUST FINISHED, ALSO UPDATED DEPRECIATION 3% A YEAR IS INDUSTRY STANDARD. AND WE'RE ALSO SENDING OUT SURVEYS TO PROPERTY OWNERS. WE DO TWO FLYOVERS A YEAR, AERIAL FLYOVERS. SO WE CAN SEE IF PEOPLE HAVE BUILT ON AND MAYBE DIDN'T GET A BUILDING PERMIT. WE GOT TO KNOW WHAT WAS ADDED ON, WHAT WAS TORN DOWN, ALL OF THAT LOGISTICAL UPDATING WE DO. AND THEN WE OVERLAY ALL THAT SALES ACTIVITY. AND THAT'S WHAT WE JUST FINISHED DOING FOR ONE, 125 FOR THE TAXES THAT WERE PAID THAT ARE DUE THIS YEAR. SO WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT. GO AHEAD. MCKENZIE. WE AS I SAID, WE ANALYZED SALES FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE AREAS. THE STANDARD FOR VALUATION, WHERE WE SHOULD BE FOR WHAT THE VALUE FOR A GIVEN NEIGHBORHOOD IS 92 TO 95% OF SALE. THIS IS AN INDUSTRY STANDARD ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ASSESSING OFFICERS IS THE STANDARD SETTING ORGANIZATION FOR MASS APPRAISAL IN IN THE COUNTRY, ACTUALLY THE WORLD, BUT IN THE UNITED STATES. AND THAT MEANS THAT IF IF I HAVE A VALUE OF A HOME OF 100,000, WHICH I DON'T THINK THERE ARE ANY OF THOSE IN UNION COUNTY, IF THERE WERE, I WOULD HOPE THAT MY TAXABLE VALUE IN THAT PROPERTY IS AROUND 95, BECAUSE WE'RE FINDING THOSE SALES AFTER THEY'VE OCCURRED. THE THE ANALOGY OF THE HORSE LEAVING THE BARN, WE'RE KIND OF CHASING THAT HORSE EVERY THIRD AND SIXTH YEAR. BUT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET TO THE THE RECENT PART OF A VALID RECENT SALE, WHICH IS THE THE OHIO LAW RULE, WE NEED TO BE AS CLOSE TO RECENT AS POSSIBLE. SO IN OUR RECENT UPDATE, WE LOOKED AT 22, 23 AND 24 SALES, BUT WE WOULD HAVE FOCUSED ON 24. IF WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH IN A GIVEN NEIGHBORHOOD, WE WOULD HAVE GONE BACK TO 23. AND THEN AFTER WE ARE FINISHED, ACTUALLY, WE LOOK SIX MONTHS INTO THE FUTURE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BENEFIT OF DOING THIS AFTER THOSE THINGS HAVE OCCURRED. AND WE CAN KIND OF SEE, WE THINK THAT THE STANDARD WE THINK THAT THE TREND FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS GOING THIS WAY. WELL, LET'S LOOK SIX MONTHS INTO THE FUTURE AND DO THE FUTURE SALES. BACK THAT UP. AND THE ANSWER, THE ANSWER WOULD BE YES OR NO, AND WE WOULD ACT ACCORDINGLY. GO AHEAD. MACKENZIE, THIS IS JUST A GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION. ALL THOSE COLORS, THE PINK, THE PURPLE ARE WHERE THE SALES WERE FOR 2025 THAT WE USED IN OUR UPDATE. GOLD STAR FOR WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH A MILL IS. OH MY HEAVENS YOU GUYS REALLY A DOLLAR PER THOUSAND OF TAXATION. SO IF YOU'VE GOT $100,000 HOUSE, THE ASSESSMENT LEVEL IN THE STATE OF OHIO IS 35%. SO 100 000, EXCUSE ME, TIMES 35% GIVES AN ASSESSED VALUE OF 35,000.

ONLY ONE OF 11 STATES IN IN THE COUNTRY HAVE ASSESSED VALUES THAT ARE NOT 100. AND WE'RE LUCKY. THAT WAS A JOKE. WE ARE LUCKY THAT WE'RE ONLY AT 35%. EITHER WAY, YOU MULTIPLY THE MILLAGE RATE TIMES THAT 35 TO GET WHAT THE THE THE TAX RAMIFICATIONS ARE FOR THAT VALUATION. THE MOST COMMON KIND OF LEVY IS A FIXED RATE LEVY. THAT'S WHAT MOST OF THE OPERATING LEVIES ARE THAT THAT ANY OF THE ENTITIES THAT MAKE UP YOUR YOUR CUMULATIVE TAX RATE, WHEREVER YOU LIVE, YOU CLEARLY ALL LIVE WITHIN THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE, AS DO I. SO THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE LEVIES ARE INCLUDED IN OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE TAX RATE, PARIS

[00:10:02]

NOT CORRECT. THAT MEANS THAT IT ISN'T JUST THESE PEOPLE ALL CRYING FOUL BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEIR PROPERTY VALUES WERE INCORRECT. THERE MAY BE SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T KNOW.

AND IN THE COURSE OF THREE DAYS OF HEARINGS WITH A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT SUBDIVISION, WE LEARNED THAT THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT THINGS WITH THE DEVELOPER. WE DIDN'T KNOW THINGS THAT WE DON'T COLLECT IN MASS APPRAISAL. AND SO HAVING THOSE FOLKS COME IN AND TALK TO US ABOUT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD WAS EXCEEDINGLY VALUABLE. SO BOARD OF REVISION IS A LOT OF WORK FOR MY OFFICE. IT'S A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ADMINISTRATIVE WORK, BUT IT'S ALSO REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL BECAUSE IT ALLOWS US TO AND NOT ONLY EDUCATE THE FILING PUBLIC, THE FILING MEANS THE PROPERTY THAT PEOPLE THAT FILED THE COMPLAINTS, BUT IT ALSO HELPS US TO LEARN THINGS ABOUT NEIGHBORHOODS OR HOMES SPECIFICALLY THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW. SO I WOULD NEVER, NEVER SAY DON'T. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, THERE ARE CERTAIN SITUATIONS WHERE IT WON'T BENEFIT THE PROPERTY OWNER FOR THEM TO FILE. AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THAT, I'M CERTAINLY WILLING TO TALK ABOUT IT. WHAT IF YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT PAGE, THE NEXT SLIDE, THE LEVEES AND EFFECTIVE TAX RATE. I'LL GO THROUGH THIS REALLY QUICKLY. THIS DOESN'T. THE OPERATIONAL THEORY IS THAT IF YOUR VALUE INCREASES DUE TO A REAPPRAISAL CHANGE, IT DOESN'T MEAN IT COSTS MORE MONEY TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO YOU. BUT IF YOUR VALUE INCREASES DUE TO NEW CONSTRUCTION, LIKE IT WAS AN EMPTY FIELD AND NOW THERE'S A HOUSE THERE, THAT MEANS THAT IT'S GOING TO COST MORE FOR THE LOCAL SERVICE AGENCIES TO SERVICE THAT AREA. SO YOU'RE GOING TO PAY MORE PROPERTY, MORE TAX, BECAUSE THERE'S AN INCREASE IN VALUE THERE. IT'S LARGELY BASED ON THE RECIPIENT OF THE TAX AS OPPOSED TO THE PAYER OF THE TAX TAXES RELATIVE TO VALUE. THIS IS WAY TOO INTENSE FOR THIS MEETING. SO I YOU'RE GOING TO BE GETTING THESE. SO YOU'RE WELCOME TO LOOK THROUGH IT. WE HAVE YOU DO

[00:15:03]

SO I WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, DON'T PLAN ON A VACATION WITH THE SECOND TAX CREDIT. EITHER WAY, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN EACH YEAR AFTER THAT. ALSO, PART OF THAT, WHICH HAS A LITTLE BIT MORE SIGNIFICANCE IS RIGHT NOW, IF YOU LIVE AND OWN YOUR OWN AND LIVE IN YOUR HOME, YOU RECEIVE AN OWNER OCCUPANCY CREDIT, WHICH IS THE 2.5% CREDIT. YOU ALSO RECEIVE A NONBUSINESS CREDIT, WHICH IS 10% ISH. SO IT'S ABOUT 12.5 ISH PERCENT IS WHAT THOSE CREDITS ARE. WHAT THE LEGISLATURE DECIDED T D DO WAS OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS, INCREASE THE TWO AND A HALF AND MAKE THE TEN GO AWAY. SO AT WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS. SO AT THE AT THE END OF THE FOUR YEARS, DOES THAT BEGIN IN 26 OR 1? 125 I THINK 26 TAX YEAR 26 TAX YEAR 26. SO YOU'LL SEE THE CREDITS, YOU'LL SEE THE CREDITS NEXT YEAR, CALENDAR YEAR 27 AS THAT TWO AND A HALF INCREASES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE EXACT INCREMENT IS. IT GOES FROM TWO AND A HALF TO I THINK LIKE SIX TO MAYBE 10 OR 11 WHEN IT ALL FINALLY ENDS UP. DO I HAVE THAT UP THERE? WHEN IT ALL FINALLY ENDS UP, IT WILL BE ABOUT 15.375 SOMETHING. IT'S LIKE IT'S JUST UNDER 3% TOTAL. MORE CREDIT IF YOU OWN AND LIVE IN YOUR HOME. IF YOU OWN RENTALS, YOU WON'T BENEFIT. IT'S FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT LIVE AND OWN AND LIVE AND OWN IN THEIR OWN SORRY, AND LIVE IN THEIR HOMES. SO THAT IS PART OF 186. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER BILLS THAT ARE INFLATION, ACTUALLY ONE SPECIFICALLY THAT IS INFLATION CENTRIC AND THAT'S HOUSE BILL 335. AND THAT'S AIMED TOWARDS INSIDE MILLAGE. SO IF YOU ARE AN ENTITY WHICH YOU ARE THAT HAVE INSIDE MILLAGE, ALL OF OUR TOWNSHIPS HAVE GUARANTEED INSIDE MILLAGE, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SAYS DO AS WELL. THE IDEA WAS JUST LIKE 186 IS TO CONTROL THE INFLATIONARY INCREASES OF VALUE TO THE RATE OF INFLATION. SO IF THE IN UNION COUNTY, OUR AVERAGE INCREASE IN VALUE FOR THE 25 REVAL WAS 27% COUNTY WIDE. THAT WOULD BE ALL THE WAY TO HONDA AND ALL THE WAY TO JEROME VILLAGE. SO AVERAGE ISN'T TRULY A GOOD MEASURE IN MY OPINION.

WE HAVE 45 TAX DISTRICTS THAT ALL HAVE VALUE YOU UNIQUENESS EITHER WAY, 25.7% COUNTY WIDE IS THE AVERAGE THAT. IF YOU. IF THE. IF THE RATE OF INFLATION IS 1,213%. WHATEVER IS DETERMINED BY DTE THAT YOU WOULD ONLY SEE YOUR VALUE. THAT YOUR TAX INCREASE FOR THE 20 MILL FLOOR TO GO UP, THAT RATE OF INFLATION, NOT THE FULL. 27 WELL, 335 IS DESIGNED TO DO THE SAME THING WITH INSIDE MILLAGE. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT, WE SHOULD GET COFFEE.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT. IT WON'T BE EFFECTIVE IN THIS COUNTY UNTIL 1128, PAYABLE IN 29, WHICH IS WHEN OUR NEXT UPDATE IS. THERE'S A LOT OF CHALLENGES TO THAT BILL. IT MAY NOT LOOK

[00:20:01]

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY IS DIFFERENT THAN RESIDENTIAL FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. IT'S A DIFFERENT UNIFORMITY IN RESIDENTIAL. WHEN YOU LOOK AT MASS APPRAISAL VERSUS SINGLE PROPERTY, SINGLE PROPERTY IS GOING TO TAKE YOUR SUBJECT PROPERTY FOR YOUR HOME AND THEN FIVE, 4 OR 5 COMPARABLE SALES. OKAY. WELL, MASS APPRAISAL FOR RESIDENTIAL, YOU'RE TAKING THOUSANDS OF HOMES AND LOOKING AT A MORE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS THAT ANDRE ANDREA HAD REFERRED S FAR AS THAT 92 TO 95% IS REALLY STATISTICAL. COMMERCIAL IS A LITTLE MORE CHALLENGING BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT NEARLY 200 TYPES OF COMMERCIAL TYPES OF PROPERTY STATEWIDE THAT THE STATE HAS IDENTIFIED. THAT COULD BE AN APARTMENT, THAT COULD BE A MOVIE THEATER, IT COULD BE A RESTAURANT, IT COULD BE RETAIL, A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

AND EACH ONE HAS THEIR OWN UNIQUE MARKET. TODAY, CERTAIN MARKETS ARE DOING BETTER THAN OTHERS. IF YOU'VE TRIED TO, IF YOU GO INTO A REGIONAL MALL LATELY, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE, LIKE TUTTLE CROSSING. AT ONE TIME, IT WAS VERY PROGRESSIVE. TODAY, REGIONAL MALLS BECAUSE MORE OR LESS BECAUSE OF ONLINE SALES AND US AS CONSUMERS HAVE CHANGED OUR DEMAND, THE NEED FOR MALL SPACE HAS REDUCED AND THEREFORE IT'S REDUCED THE MARKET VALUE. ANOTHER TYPE OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THAT'S GONE THE OTHER WAY IS APARTMENTS IN UNION COUNTY, FOR EXAMPLE, BECAUSE OF THE SHORTAGE OF HOUS NOT ONLY DO YOU SEE A LOT OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, YOU ALSO GET PRESSURE ON RENTS BECAUSE THOSE WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO GET INTO THE REAL ESTATE MARKET TO BUY THE HOUSE THEY WANT, THEY ARE LOOKING AT RENTAL PROPERTY, AND THAT PUTS MORE DEMAND FOR APARTMENTS AND INCREASES THE VALUE AND THE INCOME THAT'S PRODUCED OFF THE RENTAL PROPERTY. AND WE HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED APARTMENTS, FOR EXAMPLE, FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. AND ANOTHER THE ONE THING THAT'S DIFFERENT, ANDREW HAD TOUCHED ON IT, THE BEST INDICATION OF MARKET VALUE IS AN ARM'S LENGTH SALE. BUT THE COURTS HAVE RULED RECENTLY, AND MOST CURRENTLY IS THAT FOR BUSINESS PROPERTY, YOU HAVE TO SUBTRACT OUT WHAT IS CALLED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE VALUE. THAT COULD BE A BUSINESS LEASE, THAT COULD BE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT MAYBE IT'S A LICENSE, MAYBE YOU'RE BUYING A BOOK OF BUSINESS, LIKE IF YOU'RE BUYING A MANUFACTURING FACILITY AND THEY HAVE CONTRACTS WITH HONDA, WELL, THOSE ARE STILL IN PLACE WHEN I BUY THEM. IF IT'S ANOTHER PROPERTY SIMILAR TO THAT, THAT DOESN'T HAVE THAT INCOME STREAM, WHEN I BUY IT, YOU HAVE TO SUBTRACT THAT FROM THE SALE PRICE. WHEN YOU LOOK AT COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, AND AS YOU WELL KNOW, PEOPLE ARE KIND OF RELUCTANT TO ALLOW ANDREA AND US TO FIND INFORMATION OUT ABOUT THEM. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY SEE THAT IF THEY SHARE INFORMATION, THERE'S A CONSEQUENCE THERE. SO IT'S DIFFICULT SOMETIMES TO RECEIVE THE DATA. YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO STRIP AWAY THAT INFORMATION.

SO WE'RE HELD TO A LITTLE DIFFERENT STANDARD WHEN IT COMES TO MASS APPRAISAL FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY. MOST RECENTLY IN THIS COUNTY, THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER OF DEVELOPMENTS FOR DATA CENTERS. DATA CENTERS INVEST A LOT OF MONEY INTO REAL ESTATE.

THE QUESTION IS HOW MUCH OF THAT IS BUSINESS VALUE AND HOW MUCH IS THAT THE BRICKS AND MORTAR IN THE LAND? AND THAT'S WHERE THIS DEBATE ABOUT VALUING DATA CENTERS HAS COME INTO PLAY.

TYPICALLY, WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE, AND I'M SURE IN THE VILLAGE OR IN THE CITY, THERE'S BEEN A A RECENT DEVELOPMENT. AND ON THE APPLICATION FOR TAX ABATEMENT, THEY STATE THAT IT'S $500 MILLION WORTH OF REAL PROPERTY. SO THAT SETS AN EXPECTATION. THE SCHOOLS, FOR EXAMPLE, START DOING THE MATH AND FIGURE OUT, OKAY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT $500 MILLION IN REAL ESTATE, HOW MUCH IS THAT IN DOLLARS? FOR US, IT'S ABOUT $8.5 MILLION IN MARYSVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT. HOWEVER, IF IT'S NOT WORTH 500 MILLION, EVEN THOUGH YOU INVESTED IN IT, THEN IS THAT REALLY SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THE SAME INCENTIVE TO PROVIDE TAX ABATEMENT? MAYBE. MAYBE NOT. BUT THAT'S PART OF THE DEBATE WHERE YOU'RE FACED WITH TODAY.

THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN IT FOR ME IS, I KNOW YOU'VE HEARD THIS YEARS AGO. AT LEAST I HAVE THAT THE THE TIME YOU BUY A NEW CAR AND TAKE IT OFF THE LOT, YOU'VE LOST VALUE. IT'S THE SAME

[00:25:01]

I'M NOT TELLING YOU. I'M JUST SAYING THIS IS JUST MY PASSION. AND I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW, OKAY, SO HERE'S A COMPARISON. TUTTLE CROSSING AND EASTON. YES, EASTON HAS A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT. THEY HAVE RESIDENTIAL BLENDED IN WITH ITS COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS.

COMMERCIAL LIKE GOTTA STOP USING MY HANDS. BUT HERE'S THE CHALLENGE FOR ANDREA AND I BEFORE TUTTLE CROSSING BECOMES AN EASTON. WHAT'S IT WORTH? THE WAY IT STANDS AS OF JANUARY 1ST IS THE TAX LIEN DATE FOR ALL REAL PROPERTY IN THE STATE OF OHIO. SO AS OF 1125, THAT STANDING FACILITY, WHAT IS IT WORTH IN THE MARKET? AND THAT'S THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE. AND I CAN TELL YOU, THERE'S A LOT OF MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO REAL PROPERTY.

CERTAINLY PEOPLE ARE SENSITIVE ABOUT TAXES. AND CLEARLY THAT'S GOING ON TODAY IN THE STATE OF OHIO. WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD REFORM PROPERTY TAX. THE LEGISLATURE HAS DONE SOME THINGS. THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THERE COULD BE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER. SO ALL THOSE THINGS ARE IN PLAY. PROPERTY TAXES ARE GOING TO BE ON THE FRONT BURNER OF SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS AS WE GO INTO THE GOVERNOR'S RACE AND OTHER THINGS. SO IT'LL BE CURIOUS TO SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT. DO YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE? DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? WOULD IT BE BEST IF WE JUST OPEN IT UP FOR Q&A? YEAH, I THINK NOW WOULD BE THE TIME. SO COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE WE JUST HEARD WHAT MY 15 MINUTES EXPLANATION OF VARIOUS TOPICS. ANY COMMENTS QUESTIONS. OH, YOU GUYS ARE ALL TALKERS. I KNOW, MR. BORDNER. I THINK YOU WOULD. OH, I THOUGHT YOU WERE MOTIONING TO ME. YOU HAD A QUESTION OR A COMMENT. I DID.

OKAY, SORRY ABOUT THAT, MR. BURGER. YOU HAVE A COMMENT? GO AHEAD. I GUESS. YOU KNOW, WE TALKED. THERE WAS A LOT TO DIGEST AND YES, I KNOW, BUT I APPRECIATE BOTH OF YOU COMING HERE TONIGHT AND GIVING US THIS THIS INFORMATION. I THINK IT'S MAYBE A LONG, LONG OVERDUE.

WHEN WE GO BACK TO THE BASICS OF PROPERTY TAXES. BECAUSE THAT HAS BEEN AND WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE TO BE A HOT TOPIC FROM NOW THROUGH NOVEMBER AND THEN BEYOND. YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT PROPERTY TAXES FUND 911, THE BOARD OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES SCHOOLS, WHAT OTHER WHAT OTHER PUBLIC SERVICES ARE FUNDED THROUGH PROPERTY TAXES? ALL OF THEM. ALL OF ALL OF WHAT THEY PROVIDE. I BELIEVE 911 HAS A COUPLE OF GRANTS FROM THE CITY OR FROM THE STATE. EXCUSE ME, BUT. NINE BOARD OF DD EVERY ALL OF THE PUBLIC SERVICES THAT THE CITIZENS OF UNION COUNTY RECEIVE ARE SUPPORTED BY THEIR LOCAL TAX DOLLARS. NOT ONE DIME GOES TO COLUMBUS. SO WHETHER YOU'RE PAYING, AGAIN FOR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT SERVICES HERE, AND THEY DO GET SOME GRA GRANTS, BUT THEN BUT I THINK IT'S LIKE 87 OR 88% OF ALL THE HEALTH DE REVENUE COMES FROM YOUR PROPERTY TAXES. EXCUSE ME. ALL OF THE SERVICES YOU RECEIVE,

[00:30:01]

AND THERE IS THERE IS NOTHING THAT I HAVE SEEN, AND I HAVE SPENT TWO YEARS GETTING INVOLVED IN THIS THAT WOULD GENERATE AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF REVENUE. EVEN IF YOU HAVE THOSE THAT SAY, WELL, THEY SHOULD JUST CUT THEIR BUDGETS, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO CUT? YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SPEND WHEN YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO CUT? HAVING SAID THAT, THE OTHER CHOICE WAS INCOME TAX. WELL, YOU KNOW, TAX POLICY, AS I FOUND OUT THIS MORNING, THAT YOU AND I HAVE THE SAME DESIGNATION WITH THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ASSESSING OFFICERS. THAT'S A BIG MOUTHFUL. IAAO. AS I SAID, IT'S A STANDARD SETTING BODY FOR WHAT I DO. AND WHAT HE DOES. AND TAX POLICY IS ONE OF THOSE CORE THE CORE COURSES THAT WE HAD TO TAKE, WHICH TALKS ABOUT THE ELASTICITY OF TAX REVENUE. THE MOST STABLE SOURCE OF TAX REVENUE IS PROPERTY TAX, BECAUSE PROPERTY TAX PROPERTIES VALUES DON'T CHANGE VERY OFTEN.

SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT BASING A BUDGET ON A ON A STABLE SOURCE OF REVENUE THAT YOU CAN COUNT ON AS THE BUDGETERS, WHICH YOU ARE, YOU WOULD LOOK AT THAT STABLE SOURCE OF REVENUE, WHICH IS ANOTHER REASON, WHICH IS ASIDE A SIDE CONSEQUENCE, ZACH, FOR THIS.

AND THAT IS YOU'VE GOT NEARLY ALL 88 COUNTIES THAT HAVE DEBT THAT IS SECURED BY THEIR INSIDE MILLAGE, THEIR INSIDE MILLAGE. UNION COUNTY HAS TWO SOURCES OF GENERAL FUND REVENUE. ONE IS OUR 3.4 MILS OF INSIDE MILLAGE PROPERTY TAX, AND THE OTHER IS SALES TAX. THOSE ARE THE PRIMARY SOURCES THAT COME IN TO FUND MY OFFICE, TREASURER'S OFFICE, RECORDER'S OFFICE. THE ENGINEER. NOW THEY WE SEVERAL OF THOSE HAVE GRANTS. THEY HAVE OTHER SOURCES, BUT 99% OF THEIR REVENUE THEY SPEND ON SERVICES FOR UNION COUNTY COMES FROM THOSE TWO SOURCES OF REVENUE.

AND THE ONE THAT IS THE MORE STABLE IS PROPERTY TAX, BECAUSE VALUES DON'T CHANGE THAT OFTEN.

SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO IF YOU'RE GOING TO FUND A, A, A VITAL SERVICE, AND I WOULD SAY PUTTING A HOUSE THAT'S ON FIRE OUT OF THAT FIRE IS CONSIDERED A VITAL SERVICE. OR THE AMBULANCE COMES WHEN YOU CALL 911 OR SHOVEL THE SNOW SO YOU CAN GET YOUR BUTT TO WORK.

THOSE ARE ALL VITAL SERVICES THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO HAVE, THOSE FUNDED BY SOURCES OF REVENUE THAT ARE AS STABLE AS YOU CAN GET. SALES TAX IS LESS STABLE. IT'S IT'S JUST LESS STABLE. IT'S MORE MARKET DEPENDENT, INFLATION DEPENDENT, YOU KNOW, EMPLOYMENT DEPENDENT.

AND YET IN A LARGER AREA, WHICH WE HAVE THE ENTIRE COUNTY TO DRAW FROM, IT IS, YOU KNOW,

[00:35:04]

I APOLOGIZE. THERE IS NOT A GOOD PLAN B, THERE IS NOT OUTSIDE OF ELIMINATING THE SERVICE OR MAKING WHAT I SUGGESTED, WHICH IS BORDER RAIDS FOR PURCHASES AS WELL. AS I MENTIONED A SECOND AGO, HOW MANY COUNTIES ARE HAVE SECURED COUNTY DEBT. YOU WOULD SEE YOU WOULD SEE DEFAULTING OF DEBT BOTH AT A CITY LEVEL AND COUNTY LEVEL ON SIGNIFICANT SCALE STATEWIDE. IF SUDDENLY THAT THEIR PROPERTY TAX WENT AWAY, THAT SECURED THE $30 MILLION BOND THAT THEY WENT INTO DEBT FOR TO BUILD A CERTAIN BUILDING. DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? THAT PROPERTY TAX IS THE IS THE SECURITY FOR THE BANK OR THE INSTITUTION THAT SOLD THOSE BONDS, THAT FINANCED THAT THAT IMPROVEMENT. SO SIGNIFICANT DOMINO EFFECTS, DOMINO, YOU KNOW, ACTIONS THAT WOULD OCCUR WITHOUT WITHOUT THE PROPERTY TAX BEING THE CORE SOURCE OF THAT REVENUE. WOW. THAT WAS A LOT. THAT WAS A LOT. MY ASSOCIATION HAS TAKEN THIS VERY PASSIONATELY. WE'VE GOT WE'LL OFFER YOU A WATER, LOW HANGING FRUIT OF WHAT WE BELIEVE ARE REALLY THE THE BETTER THINGS THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD DO NOW TO HELP PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE BETTER TAX SCENARIOS IN THEIR LIVES. THEY NEED TO GET INVOLVED. I'VE BEEN ON THE RECORD A NUMBER OF TIMES, BOTH IN ASSOCIATION. THIS IS THE COUNTY AUDITOR'S ASSOCIATION EVENTS AS WELL AS THE THE PRESS CONFERENCE WE HAD HERE LAST JULY. SO THIS IS MY PERSONAL FEELINGS, NOT NOT JUST MY ASSOCIATION. THERE ARE THINGS THE LEGISLATURE COULD AND SHOULD DO, NOT JUST MANAGE INFLATION THAT WOULD THAT WOULD MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE. THAT MIGHT DISCOURAGE THOSE THAT WANT TO AX THE TAX FROM PURSUING THAT LINE, BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME ACTUAL ACTIONS BEING TAKEN TO HELP PROPERTY OWNERS. AND SO FAR, THE LEGISLATURE HAS OTHER PRIORITIES. THANK YOU. YEP, ABSOLUTELY. OTHER COUNCIL PERSONS. MR. BERGER, THE ONLY THING I'M GOING TO SAY IS THANK YOU FOR YOUR DUE DILIGENCE.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING COMING UP HERE AND SPEAKING ON THE FACTS AND THE ISSUES THAT NOT NOT JUST PLAGUE MARYSVILLE, YOUR TOWNSHIPS, UNION COUNTY, BUT EVERY STATE IN THIS COUNTRY AND THE COUNTRY ITSELF. WE MUST REMEMBER THAT WHEN OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS AND RESIDENTS MIGHT THINK PROPERTY TAXES IS GOING TO BE A THREE FIVE YEAR ISSUE, WE MUST REMEMBER THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION HAS BEEN CLOSED, NOT BASED ON CONGRESS, BUT BASED ON THE PRESIDENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THERE'S NO FUNDING FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COMING FROM ANY STATE NOW FOR FOR EDUCATION, WHICH MEANS THAT IF YOU THINK THAT THE SCHOOLS WILL NOT BE ASKING FOR MORE FOR MORE FUNDING IN THE NEXT TEN, TEN OVER THE NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS, YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION. THE PROBLEMS WE FACE ARE NOT GOING TO GET BETTER BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BURN THE HOUSE DOWN. AND I KNOW PEOPLE ARE SCARED AND THEY'RE ANGRY AND THEY'RE UPSET. BUT AS LONG AS I SERVE IN THIS SEAT, I WILL ALWAYS TRY TO BE A BEACON OF HOPE AND TRY TO GAIN TH THE FACTS AND TRY TO EDUCATE AS MUCH AS I CAN, WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE DOING. AND YOU KNOW, WE APPRECIATE BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS TO BE THERE TO REBUILD. AND RIGHT NOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO BURN IT.

BUT YOU GOT TO HAVE THOSE SOLDIERS TO REBUILD. AMERICA'S DEMOCRACY WAS NOT BUILT ON BURNING EVERYTHING DOWN AND WALKING AWAY. NO. IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTOOD AND WAS DETERMINED AND PASSIONATE, AND STAYED LONG ENOUGH TO ENSURE THAT OUR OUR GENERATION, YOUR GENERATION, AND YOUR GENERATION IS BETTER OFF TODAY THAN WHAT FUTURE GENERATIONS HAVE. I WOULD JUST ECHO YOUR COMMENTS, DONALD, IN THAT THE THE PEOPLE THAT CAN MAKE THE CHANGES, NONE OF THEM ARE IN THIS ROOM. IT ALL HAS TO GO TO THE LEGISLATURE. SO YOU'VE GOT YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE, TRACY RICHARDSON, YOUR STATE SENATOR, BILL REINEKE. I HAVE THEIR CELL PHONE NUMBERS. YOU CAN CALL THEM. YOU CAN EMAIL THEM. THEY NEED TO HEAR FROM THE CITIZENS BECAUSE THEY THEY CONTROL ALL THE RULES. DON'T BE AF DON'T DON'T USE BAD WORDS, BUT BE RESPECTFUL AND BE DIRECT AND LET THEM KNOW WHERE YOUR PAIN IS OR WHERE YOUR CONCERN IS. AND IF YOU HAVE IDEAS. RIGHT NOW, I THINK THERE ARE PRECIOUS FEW NEW IDEAS AT THE

[00:40:04]

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY, CALL, EMAIL A WEAVER AT UNION COUNTY, OHIO.GOV. SEND ME AN EMAIL. LET US FIGURE IT OUT. AND YOU MAY NOT LIKE THE ANSWER. I REMEMBER BEFORE I TOOK OFF, BEFORE I EVEN RAN, THIS WAS I WAS HIRED IN 2007, AND I CAN REMEMBER GOING UP TO THE FRONT COUNTER AND THERE WAS A MAN THAT WAS NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT I HAD TO TELL HIM. AND I WAS STILL LEARNING. I WAS A NEW DEPUTY AUDITOR. AND WHEN HE LEFT, HE SAID, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT A LOT HAPPIER THAN I WAS WHEN I GOT HERE, BUT AT LEAST I UNDERSTAND MORE. AND I WENT, VICTORY. THAT'S MY GOAL, IS TO AT LEAST HELP PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND MORE.

AND IF THEY AREN'T GETTING A TAX CREDIT FOR WHICH THEY QUALIFY, LET US HELP YOU QUALIFY. LET US TELL YOU ABOUT THE PROGRAM. WE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE HAVE THE TOOLS THAT THEY NEED TO GET WHAT THEY ARE ENTITLED TO, AS WELL AS ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS ABOUT VALUATION. SO WE'RE HERE TO HELP. THANK YOU. OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS. OKAY. THANK YOU, MRS. WEAVER. I I'M SURE YOUR HUSBAND ENJOYS TALKING TO YOU IN THE EVENINGS ABOUT PROPERTY TAXES. WELL, HE WORKS IN COUNTY GOVERNMENT TOO, SO BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WE TALK ABOUT A LOT. WE TALK A LOT ABOUT COUNTY GOVERNMENT. HE DOESN'T LIKE MILLAGE STUFF, BUT WE TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, I, I APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO JUST TOUCH ON THEM, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF DEFINITIONS AND TERMS THAT YOU WENT THROUGH JUST IN THIS SHORT PRESENTATION. AND I'VE BEEN AT DIFFERENT FORUMS, VENUES WHERE YOU'VE PRINTED OUT PROBABLY THREE TIMES AS THICK AS THIS, AND YOU SPOKE FOR TWICE AS LONG. SO I JUST APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS YES, TO COME OUT, SHARE INFORMATION, SHARE YOUR INSIGHTS, AND JUDE AS WELL IN THE, IN THE JOB FOR A STRONG RESOURCE FOR ME AND FOR UNION COUNTY. YEAH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. NEXT, IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE AN AMERICA 250 UPDATE. THAT'S RIGHT. I THINK JEREMY IS GOING TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN UPDATE TO SOME OF THE EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES COMING FROM AMERICA.

TWO. YEAH, I'M NOT SURE I CAN TOP THAT. THANK YOU. ANDREA. SO FIRST, FIRST AND FOREMOST, WANTED TO GIVE, YOU KNOW, CREDIT TO JOE AND ALEXIS FOR ALL OF THEIR LEADERSHIP ON THIS AND THE REST OF OUR AMERICAN 250 COMMITTEE, WHICH INCLUDED CITY STAFF, YOU KNOW, SOME STAKEHOLDERS, BUT THEN MOST IMPORTANTLY, COUNCILMAN BURGER AND COUNCILWOMAN TYPEKIT. SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON THE SCREEN AND WE THIS WILL BE HITTING SOCIAL MEDIA PRETTY SOON. BUT I CAN GIVE YOU A PRETTY QUICK OVERVIEW. THIS IS THE MAP OF THE AMERICA 250 EVENT. WHAT THIS SHOWS IS SOME OF THE STREET CLOSURES THAT ARE PLANNED. SO WE ARE SIMILAR TO THE BICENTENNIAL, INTENDING ON CLOSING DOWN THE UPTOWN FOR THIS EVENT. WE'VE GOT HONDA AND HOUNDS ON THE LEFT ON COURT STREET, AND I'LL GO THROUGH THE SCHEDULE OF EVERYTHING THAT'S PLANNED HERE ON ONE OF THE NEXT SLIDES. BUT AT THIS TIME WE'VE GOT A ZIP LINE PLANNED ON NORTH MAIN STREET, SO THAT WOULD BE NORTH OF FIFTH KIDS CORNER, WHICH INCLUDES A BOUNCE HOUSE AND SENSORY TENT ON EAST FIFTH, AND THAT'D BE EAST OF MAIN STREET BY THE ALLEY, CARNIVAL RIDES AND INFLATABLE SLIDE AND AN OBSTACLE COURSE AT PARTNERS PARK. AND THEN UNDERNEATH THE PAVILION. WE'VE GOT PUTT PUTT ON FRIDAY, AND THEN THE NORMAL FARMER'S MARKET AND AND A PETTING ZOO ON SATURDAY. SO WITH THAT, A LOT OF CREDIT ALSO GOES TO CHIEF BROOKS AND CHIEF BURNS. THEY WANT NO ROAD CLOSURES SO THAT THEY CAN GET AND BE ABLE TO SERVICE EMERGENCIES WHEN WHEN POSSIBLE. BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE SOME CONCESSIONS. SO THAT WAY WE CAN STILL, YOU KNOW, BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, FIGHT FIRES AND, AND PROTECT THE PUBLIC UNDERNEATH THIS, YOU KNOW, UNDERNEATH THIS CONFIGURATION. SO THAT'S THE BIG THING WITH THE MAPS. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT ALL THE BUSINESSES, MORA, YOU KNOW, FOLKS THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE MORA THAT ARE LOCATED ON THERE, BUT ALL OF THAT WILL BE HITTING SOCIAL MEDIA HERE SOON.

ON THE NEXT PAGE, THIS IS OUR OVERVIEW. SO OUR INTENT IS TO MAKE THIS A WEEK LONG, I GUESS NINE DAY LONG. SO WE'LL KEEP GOING WITH WEEK LONG EVENT. SO ON THE FOURTH WE'VE GOT CPD SNEAKERS COMING IN AND THEY'RE DOING A FIVE K. AND THEN WE'VE GOT THE THE NORMAL PARADE AND FIREWORKS THAT WE HAVE EVERY YEAR ON SUNDAY WITH THE THE HELP OF ANDY EVANS AND FORMER COUNCILWOMAN JULIE KRAMER, WHO'S IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT, WE'VE GOT A ARBORETUM DEDICATION AND AS WELL, SOME THINGS OUT AT THE CEMETERY ON THE SIXTH. WE'VE GOT TO DIVE IN

[00:45:01]

SO WE WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE NEW STRING LIGHTS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO CHANGE COLORS AS PART OF THIS WITH THE HELP OF, YOU KNOW, SOME LOCAL ARTISTS, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DECORATE SOME OF THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL BOXES. SO WE'VE DONE ONE RIGHT OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE. AND THEN WE'RE WORKING, WORKING WEST TOWARDS POLICE AND COURT. CITY HALL WILL BE DECORATED WITH PATRIOTIC BUTTRESSES. THE MARYSVILLE ART LEAGUE. I NEED TO DRIVE AROUND A LITTLE MORE.

AND THEY'RE THEY'RE GOING TO BE PAINTING FIRE HYDRANTS FOR US. SO WE WERE ABLE TO SUPPLY THEM WITH THE MATERIALS TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT WITH WITH A PATRIOTIC THEME, OUR WATER DEPARTMENT COULD PAINT THEM RED AND BLUE, SIMILAR TO ALL THE OTHER ONES. BUT GETTING THE LOCAL ARTISTS INVOLVED IS GOING TO BE A BIG HELP WITH THE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE BUDGETING PROCESS, WE WERE ABLE TO PLANT A HANDFUL OF TREES THAT THAT ARE COMMEMORATING AMERICA. 250 WE'VE ALSO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS. SO THIS ONE IS, WE'LL SAY A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN TENTATIVE, BUT WORKING WITH LOCAL REALTOR STASIA AND JENNIFER FOR DECORATING CONTEST OF, OF HOUSES AND SOME LOCAL BUSINESSES AS WELL. SO WE'VE ALSO GOT SOME FUTURE THINGS OUT THERE, WHETHER IT'S THE MURAL AT THE SIXTH OF MAIN COUNTY BUILDING THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE OUT THIS WINDOW.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A TREE COOKIE WITH SOME HISTORIC EVENTS, NOT ONLY NATIONWIDE, STATE STATEWIDE, BUT THEN ALSO TO THE CITY WHERE, HEY, THE TREE WAS THIS OLD ON THIS DATE.

SO SOMETHING THAT'LL BE PRETTY GOOD THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO NOT ONLY DISPLAY DURING THE AMERICA 250 EVENT, BUT THEN ALSO, I'M ASSUMING AT CITY HALL OR SOME OTHER LOCATION, YOU KNOW, ONCE THE EVENT IS COMPLETE. SO DEFINITELY A LOT OF A LOT OF WORK HAS GONE INTO THIS. SO WE'RE, YOU KNOW, FINGERS CROSSED, HOPING FOR GREAT WEATHER AND, YOU KNOW, AND JUST A GREAT TIME FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU, MR.

THEN ON TOP OF THAT, JUST THIS PAST WEEK WE HAD OUR TOUCH A TRUCK EVENT THAT OCCURRED ON JUNE 5TH AND MILL VALLEY PARK CENTRAL. THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 500 PEOPLE THAT ATTENDED. A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL THE FAMILIES, VOLUNTEERS, AND CITY DEPARTMENTS WHO CAME OUT TO MAKE THIS YEAR'S EVENT A SUCCESS. SAFETY TOWN IS TAKING PLACE. OCCURRED JUNE 1ST THROUGH THE FOURTH, WITH 75 INCOMING KINDERGARTNERS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING A WEEK OF HANDS ON LEARNING AND SAFETY ADVENTURES.

SO JEREMY, I'LL LET YOU UPDATE ON MAINTENANCE. YEAH. THANKS, TERRY. CITY STREET CREWS, THIS IS A COMMON THEME. CONTINUE REPLACING STORM STRUCTURES AHEAD OF THE ANNUAL PAVING PROGRAM. I AM CERTAIN THAT HOPEFULLY THERE'S ONLY ONE MORE MEETING WHERE I GET TO PROVIDE THAT SAME UPDATE. SO I KNOW THE GUYS ARE ANXIOUS TO WRAP THAT UP SOON. SIMILARLY, THEY CONTINUE ON EARTHWORK OPERATIONS AT THE OLD PLANT, WHICH, WHETHER DEPENDING THEY'RE HOPING TO WRAP UP THIS WEEK AND THEY ARE STARTING CRACK SEALING IN THE UPTOWN PRIMARILY AT NIGHT AHEAD OF THE ANNUAL STRIPING PROGRAM. I KNEW THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THAT AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING.

[REPORT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT]

[PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION REPORT]

[01:05:08]

SO THAT'LL BE, YOU KNOW, A PROCESS TO GET DONE. AND THEN WE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH A COUPLE RESIDENTS REGARDING NEW LOCATIONS FOR PICKLEBALL COURTS, OR MORE SPECIFICALLY, A REQUEST TO HAVE MORE PICKLEBALL COURTS AND, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. IF THERE'S, I THINK THEY WANT 4 TO 6, IF IT'S MORE OF A LOCAL EVENT KIND OF THING. AND IF YOU WANT TO ATTRACT BIGGER EVENTS, 8 TO 10 IN A SMALLER, SIMILAR LOCATION. AND THEN IN REGARDS TO OUR AGENDA ITEMS, WE HAD A CONVERSATION REGARDING REVIEWING OUR FIVE YEAR PARKS AND REC CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN THAT WE DO EVERY YEAR. SO WE'RE KIND OF REVIEWING THAT NOW. AND WE'LL COME BACK AT OUR NEXT MEETING, WHICH IS TUESDAY THE 16TH AT SIX,X, TO HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSIN ON THAT, SEE WHERE THAT GOES. BUT THAT WAS OUR MEETING. GREAT. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR COUNCILMAN WOLFF? MRS. YOUNG, I'M JUST CURIOUS HOW YOU SURVEY FISH. JEREMY MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO A LITTLE BETTER, BUT ODNR COMES IN AND LOOKS AT THE AREAS. I'M SURE THEY CATCH HIM WITH A NET AND IT'S PRERELEASE, BUT I CAN GET YOU ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THAT. ARE THEY COUNTING FOR NUMBERS OR SPECIES OR SPECIES SIZE? ALL OF THOSE THINGS? YES. SEEING WHAT THEY WHAT THEY STOCKED IT WITH, WHETHER THEY'RE GROWING TO WHAT THEY THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OKAY. SO ODNR HANDLES ALL THAT FOR US. MR. MR. PRESIDENT, MR. BORDNER, YOU MENTIONED THE FENCE. IT'S BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION A COUPLE DIFFERENT TIMES. IS THERE A TIMELINE ON REPAIR FOR THAT OR. YEAH, I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO CHECK WITH THE WITH THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT.

THEY USUALLY HANDLE MOST OF OUR INSURANCE CLAIMS. SO TO SEE WHEN THAT IS IN THE END, IT'S GOT TO GET FIXED. SO, YOU KNOW, THE SOONER WE CAN DO IT AND THEN GET REIMBURSED BY INSURANCE IS PROBABLY FINE WHERE WE CAN FRONT THE MONEY. SO I'LL, I'LL SHOOT YOU A TEXT OR AN EMAIL TOMORROW. COOL. THANKS. I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION. YOU MENTIONED THERE'S ALDERSGATE TRAIL EXTENSION. IS THAT EXTENDING TO THE VISION DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES THAT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS. YEAH. SO WE HAVE TO CROSS A, WE'LL SAY A JURISDICTIONAL STREAM TO GET BACK THERE. SO WE'RE PUTTING A CULVERT IN. WE ARE WAITING ON THAT PERMIT TO COME THROUGH THROUGH THE THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE I THINK IT'S OHIO EPA IN THIS INSTANCE.

WE EXPECT THAT WITH THEIR TIME FRAMES BY MID JULY. SO THIS THE THE TRAIL IS GOING TO AT LEAST WALK, TALK AND FEEL LIKE MCIVOR WOODS IS AT LEAST WHAT OUR CURRENT INTENT IS. OKAY, GREAT.

YEAH. I AM NOT SURPRISED WHATSOEVER BY THE PICKLEBALL DEMAND. I SEE THAT AND I'VE

[HEARING OF CITIZENS]

THIS IS FOR TOPICS NOT RELATED TO PENDING LEGISLATION. AND IF YOU DO APPROACH THE PODIUM, WE ASK THAT YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. SO IF THERE ARE CITIZENS WILLING TO SPEAK, PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE PODIUM. AND I WILL TRY TO GIVE YOU JUST IF YOU'RE APPROACHING FIVE MINUTES, I'LL TRY TO GIVE IT JUST ABOUT A ONE MINUTE WARNING. THANK YOU. I AM, I BELIEVE I'M AT ABOUT 4.5 MINUTES. OKAY. WE'LL TRY. GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL STAFF AND RESIDENTS OF MARYSVILLE. MY NAME IS GAIL JENKINS. MY ADDRESS IS 14242 OXFORD DRIVE.

I HAVE LIVED AT THIS SAME ADDRESS WITH MY FAMILY FOR 37 YEARS BEFORE RETIRING IN 2018.

I ENJOYED CAREERS WITH MARYSVILLE SCHOOLS AND THE UNION COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES. SINCE 2016, I HAVE SPENT MY SUMMERS MANAGING A LOCAL POOL AND PARK. I STAND BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING AS A MEMBER OF THE SMART COALITION, A GROUP OF LIKE MINDED PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY. AS YOU WILL RECALL, THE SMART COALITION WAS INVOLVED IN PLACING TWO AMENDMENTS FOR THE MARYSVILLE CHARTER ON THE MAY 25TH BALLOT. BOTH AMENDMENTS WERE APPROVED BY A NEARLY 70 TO 30% MARGIN. TONIGHT, I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT RECENT OHIO LEGISLATION AND ITS POTENTIAL TO HINDER THE VOICES OF MARYSVILLE RESIDENTS ON LOCAL ISSUES. CITIZENS OF OF MUNICIPALITIES IN OHIO ARE GRANTED THE POWER OF THE REFERENDUM. THIS REFERENDUM PROCESS ALLOWS CITIZENS TO CHALLENGE SOME ORDINANCE ORDINANCES PASSED BY THE LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY. IT IS

[01:10:01]

IF THIS IS CURRENTLY DETAILED IN THE OHIO REVISED CODE SECTION 731.29. WHILE THIS PROCESS HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY AMENDED OVER THE LAST 100 YEARS, THE SIGNATURE REQUIREMENT HAS ALWAYS STAYED AT 10% AND 2025 WITHOUT DISCUSSION AND BURIED ON PAGE 3156 OF HOUSE BILL 96, OUR LEGISLATURE CHANGED 731.29 TO INCREASE THE SIGNATURE REQUIREMENT FROM 10% TO 35%, EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2025. THIS CHANGE WAS NOTHING BUT AN OUTRIGHT EFFORT BY LOBBYISTS TO REDUCE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL AND STATE DECISION MAKING BASED ON SMART COALITIONS EXPERIENCE WITH PRIOR PETITION DRIVES, WE BELIEVE THIS INCREASE IN NEEDED SIGNATURES WILL INHIBIT LOCAL RESIDENTS FROM STARTING REFERENDUMS IN THE FUTURE. FOR THIS REASON, WE ARE PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE MARYSVILLE CITY CHARTER CHARTER. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS. AMENDMENT IS 4.03. THIS AMENDMENT WILL RETURN THE SIGNATURE REQUIREMENT FOR A REFERENDUM IN MARYSVILLE TO 10% FROM THE 35. THE WAY IT HAS BEEN FOR 100 YEARS.

ADDITIONALLY, THIS CHARTER AMENDMENT WILL ENABLE RESIDENTS TO COLLECT SIGNATURES PRIOR TO FILING A CERTIFIED COPY OF LESS THAN A MINUTE, JUST SO YOU KNOW A MINUTE. OKAY, THANKS. TWO PARAGRAPHS. ADDITIONALLY, THIS CHARTER AMENDMENT WILL ENABLE CITIZENS TO COLLECT SIGNATURES PRIOR TO FILING A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE WITH THE CITY. THIS CHARTER AMENDMENT IS ABOUT MAINTAINING LOCAL CONTROLS OVER ISSUES THAT ARE THAT MAY ARISE IN THE FUTURE, AND IT IS NOT IN ANY WAY INTENDED TO SHOW A LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT CITY COUNCIL. IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS DO CHANGE OVER TIME, AND LOCAL RESIDENTS DESERVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF CONTROL THEY HAVE HAD FOR 100 YEARS. WE HAVE COLLECTED SIGNATURES TO PLACE THIS CHARTER AMENDMENT ON THE NOVEMBER 2026 BALLOT. BALLOT. I HAVE THOSE CONTAINED IN A PACKAGE AND I WILL DELIVER THEM TO THE CITY NOW. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. CAN I GIVE THIS TO YOU? SURE. THANK YOU. THEY SHOULD GO TO. YEAH, BUT HE'S NOT HERE. I'LL TAKE IT. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER CITIZENS WISHING TO ADDRESS COUNCIL THIS EVENING? AND IF SO, PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE PODIUM. THANK YOU. GOT IT DONE

[30-26]

HEARING NO FURTHER CITIZEN COMMENTS, WE WILL MOVE ON TO ORDINANCES 30-26. THIRD READING VOTE TO AUTHORIZE A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION FOR THE GENERAL FUND FROM THE GRANT FUND ADMINISTRATION. NOTHING FURTHER. COUNCIL. MR. COUNCIL. IF NO COUNCIL COMMENTS, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO PASS THE LEGISLATION. SO MOVED. WE HAVE A MOTION. ANY DISCUSSION? ROLL CALL. MR. BORDNER. YES, MR. WOLFE YES. MR. BURGER YES. MR. HUNTER. YES. MRS. TAKACS YES.

[31-26]

[01:15:03]

ANY DISCUSSION BY MEMBERS OF COUNCIL SEEING NONE. THIS WILL BE BACK FOR THIRD READING VOTE

[32-26]

[33-26]

ADMINISTRATION. NOTHING FURTHER. CITIZENS SEEING. NO CITIZENS COMMENT. WISHING TO COMMENT.

COUNCIL. NO FURTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL. THIS WILL BE BACK FOR THIRD READING VOTE ON JUNE

[34-26]

BUT THAT THAT SEMI, YOU KNOW, WE'LL SEE WHERE THE BIDS COME IN. BUT THAT MAY BE SOMETHING WE KEEP AROUND AS A RELIC, BUT THEN ALSO AS A BACKUP FOR OUR CURRENT SEMI. BUT THESE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WERE PRESENTED TO FINANCE COMMITTEE THAT OUR FOLKS AND OUR STAFF, INCLUDING FLEET FLEET MAINTENANCE THOUGHT WORTH PRESENTING TO COUNCIL. I LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT HERE.

I WAS LOOKING AT THIS LIST. I APOLOGIZE, I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE OH SEVEN WITH THE BLOWN BLOWN MOTOR WITH 58,000 MILES ON IT, WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT TRUCK. BUT THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION BECAUSE YEAH, THE OTHER ONE IS 61,000. SO I KNOW, YOU KNOW, THAT MAY HAVE BEEN OUTFITTED WITH A, KNOW, MAYBE NOT A FULL PLOW, BUT, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER YOU'RE PUSHING THAT SNOW AROUND, IT'S SOMETHING THAT DOES PUT A LOT OF WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE.

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

WE ALWAYS CALL THAT A VIEWING WHEN WE GO OUT AND LOOK AT THESE VEHICLES RIGHT AROUND BUDGET TIME, IT'S PROBABLY APPROPRIATE TO CALL IT THAT. SO. YOU MAY HAVE SAID THIS, MR. HOYT, HOW HOW ARE INDIVIDUALS TO GO? SORRY, BID ON THESE ITEMS. YEAH. SO THIS WILL BE PUBLISHED ON GOV DEALS. SO WE WAIT FOR THREE READINGS, WAIT FOR THE REFERENDUM AND THEN USUALLY MAYBE NOT THE NEXT DAY, BUT SOON THEREAFTER IT ENDS UP ON ON GOV DEALS. SO GOV DEALS

[01:20:07]
