[6. HEARING OF VISITORS:]

I'M JUST HERE. YES, COUNSELOR. BEEN IN THIS DISTRICT 21. YOU HEAR ME? BETTER THAT'S GOOD.

YEAH WE DO BROADCAST THESE VIRTUALLY AND THEN RECORD THEM FOR POSSIBLE PROSPERITY. SO IF YEAH, START OVER JUST REAL QUICKLY, OKAY. MICHELLE REYNOLDS CANDIDATE. OHIO SENATE DISTRICT THREE. I AM A NATIVE OF OHIO. I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 21 YEARS IN FRANKLIN COUNTY. I AM CURRENTLY AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. I AM A TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE FOR MADISON TOWNSHIP, WHICH IS THE CANAL WINCHESTER GROVE PORT AREA, SO I'LL, UM LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART. I AM A PASTOR'S WIFE. I'M ALSO A MOTHER OF TWO SONS. I JUST HAD A GRANDDAUGHTER EIGHT WEEKS AGO, SO I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT HER. UM AND ALSO I AM A BUSINESS OWNER. UM MY BUSINESS IS TO PROVIDE HOUSING. UM IT'S A NONPROFIT FOR, UM, HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS THAT GO TO PRISON, AND WHEN THEY COME HOME, THEY DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO STAY. SO I HAVE A TRANSITIONAL HOUSING.

AGENCY THAT CONTRACTS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATION AND CORRECTION AND PROVIDES FORMERLY INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS A PLACE TO STAY BEEN DOING THAT FOR 16 YEARS WE'VE HOUSED OVER 5000 PEOPLE IN THE LAST 16 YEARS. MEN, WOMEN AND YOUTH THAT HAVE BEEN ADJUDICATED THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND HAVE CREATED OVER 200 JOBS. SO AS A BUSINESS OWNER, I UNDERSTAND WHAT IT TAKES TO RUN A BUSINESS AND I UNDERSTAND THE PLIGHT OF OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY, AND I DEFINITELY WANT TO BE A VOICE FOR SMALL BUSINESS, BUT ALSO AS IT RELATES TO RISING CRIME. THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT I'M VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SAFER NEIGHBORHOODS AND I HAVE SOME IDEAS ON HOW TO DO THAT, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I JUST WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT IS THAT AS A TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE, UM AND VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT LOCAL GOVERNMENT, I AM A BIG PROPONENT OF HOME RULE AND LOCAL CONTROL. I BELIEVE THAT A LOT OF TIMES THAT WE CAN TAKE WE UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY. AND SO AS A STATE LEGISLATOR, I WANT TO SUPPORT NEW ALBANY AND OTHER MUNICIPALITIES TO BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH SOME OF THOSE SOLUTIONS THAT ARE HELPFUL TO YOUR OWN COMMUNITY. UM SO I AM HERE TO REALLY LISTEN TO WHAT IT IS THAT ARE YOUR PRIORITIES, AND I WANT TO BE VERY, VERY HELPFUL. UM IN TERMS OF JUST THIS ELECTION. I DO BELIEVE THAT WE'RE GOING TO WIN. WE'RE OUT HERE WORKING HARD. AND SO I'D BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T STOP BY AND INTRODUCE MYSELF TO YOU BECAUSE I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. TRUSTEE REYNOLDS. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR COMING OUT AND INTRODUCING YOURSELF AND SAYING HI ANY ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL NOT A QUESTION, BUT I FEEL LIKE BUT WHEN WE WERE AT THE CHAMBER EVENT, WILL YOU BE PARTICIPATING

[00:05:03]

FEELING IT EXACTLY SO I'M HAPPY THAT THOSE DAYS ARE GONE. SO WE HAVE THE SAME THING. AND I ALWAYS BEGIN A COMMUNITY ATTITUDE SURVEY WITH THAT'S STABLE. THIS RESEARCH GIVES NEW ALBANESE PRESIDENT SUPPORTS THAT ALLOWS TO VOTE A. TO EXPRESS OPINIONS ON MYRIAD ISSUES AND IN DOING SO, PROVIDES CITY OFFICIALS YOU ALL OBJECTIVE DATA AS PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE CONTINUOUS OBJECTIVE DATA. THIS IS TO BALANCE WHAT YOU HERE WHEN SOMEONE APPROACHES YOU AND KROGER'S OR YOU GET AN EMAIL OR A LETTER OR A PHONE CALL. WE BY THE WAY, THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT HAPPENS. GIANT EAGLE WE WANT. DECISIONS MADE ON RELIABLES, JADA I SUPPOSED TO ANECDOTAL DATA, AND AS YOU'LL KNOW, UM, THIS IS THE THIRD IN A SERIES OF STUDIES BEGINNING WHAT SEEMS LIKE A LIFETIME AGO, BUT IT'S REALLY BEEN ONLY FOUR YEARS. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE METHOD. SO I NEED TO TELL YOU THAT AGAIN. THIS WAS A TELEPHONE SURVEY INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED THE 308. I DON'T RESIDENTS OF NEW ALBANY IF I GET INVITED TO COME BACK TO YEARS FROM NOW, MY PET IS IT WON'T BE EXCLUSIVELY TELEPHONE INTERVIEWS THAT COMPRISED THE DATA. THE INDUSTRY IS CHANGING. TO THE POINT WHERE WE ARE NOW STARTING TO DO MIXED METHODS STUDIES, WHICH WOULD BE HALF TELEPHONE HERE. ONLINE AND SURPRISINGLY KICKING AND SCREAMING. I RESISTED THIS, BUT SURPRISINGLY, IN SOME CASES, THE BETTER OR MORE DATA ARE MORE REPRESENTATIVE AND REQUIRED LESS WAITING. HAVING SAID THAT AVERAGE. INTERVIEW LENGTH WAS 20 MINUTES AND 2018. IT WAS 18 MINUTES AND LAST YEAR IT WAS 22 MINUTES OF SCOTLAND. EFFORT TO YEAH, LENGTH DOWN TO 20 ALMOST ALL CELLPHONES. THIS WAS FROM THE END OF MAY TO THE KIND OF END OF JUNE IN THAT LITTLE FOOTNOTE TALKS ABOUT THAT. INTEL ANNOUNCEMENT BEING EARLY IN THE YEAR END OF JANUARY, SO THESE DATA WERE COLLECTED AFTER NEWS OF INTEL. WAS ANNOUNCED. AND THEN A SAMPLE OF THIS SIZE 308 YIELDS PLUS OR MINUS 5.6% POINTS IN EACH DIRECTION. WE'RE SAMPLING ERROR. AND. THE SAMPLING FRAME COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS BUT ALSO ACCOMPANY WITH THE CLEVER NAME L TWO USED TO BE. WELL LISTEN LABELS, BUT THEY CAN ROUND OUT THE SAMPLE FOR US BECAUSE THERE ARE SO FEW NUMBERS AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE HERE TO COMPLETE THE INTERVIEWS, WE HAD A DIAL 7900. UNIQUE. TELEPHONE NUMBERS, MOST OF THEM MULTIPLE TIMES OF 25. AND WHEN YOU LOOK BACK TO THE DIALING IN 2018, IT WAS 5400. SO WE'RE DIALING 44% MORE NUMBERS NOW GET

[00:10:02]

RIGHT? POUND ABOUT. I'M GOING BACKWARDS. OKAY OVERALL IMPRESSIONS. SO 610 NEW ALBANY RESIDENTS CONSIDER THE CITY AND EXCELLENT PLACE TO LIVE. AND THAT'S THE DARK BLUE PORTION OF THE PIE, AND THEN AN ADDITIONALY GOOD, THE LIGHT BLUE PORTION AND IF YOU LOOK TO THE RIGHT LITTLE HAS CHANGED. SINCE WE BEGAN IN 2018. THOSE NUMBERS ARE VERY SIMILAR. VERY STRONG. BUT VERY SIMILAR. AND THEN AS A PLACE TO WORK FIVE OUT OF 10 TO ALBANY RESIDENTS. CONSIDER THE CITY EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD. AND THAT'S UP SLIGHTLY. LOOK OVER TO THE RIGHT. THAT'S UP SLIGHTLY VERY SLIGHTLY FROM 2018. BUT WHY IT'S WORTH NOTICING AT ALL. DESPITE ITS SIZE ONE SURVEY, YOU HAVE A 10.2 SURVEYS. YOU HAVE A LINE THREE SURVEYS. YOU HAVE A TREND. SO MAY NOT BE A VERY STEEP SLOW. BUT YOU DO SEE THAT NUMBER OVER THE FOUR YEAR PERIOD GOING UP FROM 43. 50 WORTH NOTING. WHAT'S INTERESTING ALSO IS THAT NOBODY DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION NEW ALBANY AS A PLACE TO LIVE MANY FOLKS COULDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION. NEW OR VIDEOS IN PLACE TO WORK. AND SO YOU CAN SEE BOTH IN 20. AND 2018. THE NUMBER OF FOLKS THAT SAID, GEE, I DON'T KNOW IS VERY SIMILAR. THE ONLY THING I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT NUMBER IS DROPPING SLIGHTLY FROM 36 TO 34 31. REPORTING TO NINE OUT OF 10 RESIDENTS. NEW ALBANY IS HEADING IN THE RIGHT

[00:15:03]

SCHOOLS GROWTH IN CITY FINANCES FOLLOW ME DOWN THE CHARTS, SO CITY SERVICES IS THE HIGHEST IT'S EVER BEEN MAINTAINING HIGH QUALITY SCHOOLS. SO THAT STARTED OUT AS 40. WHEN 30 NOW IT'S DOWN TO 28, SO THAT'S DROPPED AS A PRIORITY. BUT LOOK AT CONTROLLING GROWTH. IT WAS AT 26 IT DIP. NOW IT'S BACK UP, BUT LOOK AT PROMOTING GROWTH PROMOTING GROWTH IN AN ERA. WHEN YOU'RE PROMOTING GROWTH. HAS INCREASED FROM A LOWLY 10 JUST FOUR YEARS AGO TO MORE THAN DOUBLING AND AGAIN THESE ARE NOT CATEGORIES. WE SUGGESTED THESE ARE RESPONSES TO OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS THAT WE CATEGORIZED. AND THEN BELOW THAT YOU DON'T REALLY SEE MUCH CHANGE. ALTHOUGH MANAGING CITY FINANCES, WHICH ONCE WAS 30 IS NOW IN THE TEENS. ABOUT CITY SERVICES. SO HERE I'M COMPARING FOR EACH OF THESE DIMENSIONS THE THREE YEARS ACROSS TIME. SO JUST FOR ORIENTATION, THE LONGER PART OF THE BAR. EACH COLOR IS VERY SATISFIED. SHORTER PART OF THE BAR SOMEWHAT SATISFIED, AND THEN THERE'S THE NOT SURE AND THAT VARIES BY AREA OR BY SERVICE. SO YOU'RE SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD. BUT WHERE ARE THE NEGATIVES? SO IF YOU HAVE TO DO THE MATH FOR THIS, SO IF YOU ADD THE 97 AND THE TWO YOU GET 99. THAT 1% MISSING IS THE NEGATIVE. THAT PART OF THE NEGATIVE BAR WAS SO SMALL. WE JUST MADE THE EXECUTIVE DECISION NOT TO INCLUDE IT. BUT. SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO LOOK FOR IT. WE HAVE THIS ALRIGHT, SO SNOW REMOVAL SNOW REMOVAL PRETTY MUCH THE SAME SINCE THE BEGINNING. EVERYBODY HAS AN ANSWER PRETTY MUCH AND BETTER THAN NINE OUT OF 10 ARE SATISFIED. MOST ARE VERY SATISFIED. COLLECTION OF TRASH RECYCLING AND YARD WASTE VERY SIMILAR. SET OF OPINIONS. AND YOU GO TO POLICE PROTECTION.

POLICE PROTECTION IS INTERESTING BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING DOWN. BUT IN FACT LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NOT SURE. THEY ESSENTIALLY DOUBLE SO IF YOU ADD THE 90 IN THE 98 THE A. YOU GET 98. SO EVEN IN THAT CASE, JUST NOT A LOT OF UNHAPPY, BUT YOU DO HAVE THOSE MORE FOLKS UNDECIDED SNOW REMOVAL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. UM, YOU KNOW, LITTLE WIGGLING BUT STILL VERY STRONG. NINE OUT OF 10 SATISFIED? LEAVE COLLECTION EIGHT OUT OF 10, BUT LOOK AT THE PERCENTAGE OF NOT SURE SO STILL AGAIN, ALMOST NO DISSATISFIED. UM THIS IS POLICE OUTREACH PROGRAMS AGAIN HIGH, NOT SURE NOT A LOT OF CHANGE. I MEAN, IT'S DATED LIKE THIS. THAT PUTS US OUT OF BUSINESS. YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO THINK YOU'RE DOING THIS EVERY FIVE YEARS. FORGET I SAID THAT. OKAY SO THEN YOU GOT THE CITY OFFICIALS AND THESE ARE SIMILAR KINDS OF QUESTIONS.

THESE ARE PERFORMANCE ON A VARIETY OF ITEMS SO DEVELOPING PARKLANDS. SO THIS IS GREAT.

JUST LOOK AT THIS SO OVER TIME. RIGHT. IT WAS 80% SATISFIED 83% 90% BUT IT'S NOT JUST 90% LOOK AT THE TOP BAR WANT PART OF THE BAR GREW THE MOST PART. THAT'S VERY SATISFIED. RIGHT RIGHT. SO IT'S LIKE A DOUBLE WIN. NOT ONLY ARE MORE PEOPLE SATISFIED MORE PEOPLE ARE VERY SATISFIED AND

[00:20:03]

JUST 72. WITH A DROP IN THE DON'T KNOWS AND FOR PUBLIC OFFICIALS IF. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A LOT OF COMMUNITIES DON'T FEEL THAT WE DO A LOT OF THESE OLD ALL OVER AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT'S A BIG ISSUE FOR PEOPLE. NOBODY LISTENS. NOBODY LISTENS. SO TO SEE NUMBERS LIKE THIS, THE 61% WOULD BE WOULD BE STRONG. BUT IN FOUR YEARS, YOU HAVE ADDED A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO ARE SATISFIED SO THAT'S IMPRESSIVE. AND THEN. MANAGING RESIDENTIAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, A LITTLE BIT OF UP AND DOWN. BUT NOT. NOT ENOUGH CHANGE TO CALL OUT AND THEN ENFORCING. THE CITY'S ZONING CODES. AND ANOTHER THING THAT MAKES YOU A BELIEVER'S IF YOU LOOK IN THE NATURAL POEM YEAH, MY DAD IS. MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE ZONING CODES ARE. SO YOU WOULD EXPECT TO SEE THAT. BUT THOSE THOSE CHANGES FROM YEAR TO YEAR INCONSEQUENTIAL AND AGAIN IF YOU ADD THE 66 TO THE 19TH TO THE 27, YOU GET ALMOST EVERYONE SO LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IF YOU PEOPLE ARE UNHAPPY OR DISSATISFIED. AND THEN THIS IS ANOTHER ONE, LISTENING TO THE CONCERNS OF LOCAL RESIDENTS BEFORE MAKING IMPORTANT DECISIONS. THIS IS THE OTHER QUESTION ABOUT COMMUNITY INPUT. AND LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED IN JUST FOUR YEARS FROM 56% TO 66% THAT'S AGAIN OF 10% POINTS. BUT YOU ALSO KNOCKED OFF 7% POINTS FROM THE FOLKS WHO DON'T KNOW WHICH SUGGESTS THERE'S SOME COMMUNICATING. GOING ON ON ONE HAND AND THAT COMMUNICATING IT IS. POSITIVE. OR AT LEAST BEING HURT POSITIVELY. THEY'RE LOOKING AT YOU FOR THAT. RIGHT? HERE. YOU CAN SEE THE PATTERN GOING UP. OKAY MARKET SQUARE AND VILLAGE CENTER. SO HERE. WHAT WE'VE LEARNED IS THAT INTEREST IN ADDITIONAL FAMILY FRIENDLY CASUAL DINING RESTAURANTS, THOUGH STILL STRONG. HAS ABATED SLIGHTLY AS THE DEMAND FOR MORE

[00:25:08]

AND THEN THIS YEAR, IT'S 54% THAT'S WHERE THE MINUS 6% COMES. SO DEMAND IS STILL HIGH. IT'S STILL THE HIGHEST ITEM UP THERE. BUT IT'S BUT DEMAND HAS ABATED A LITTLE BIT. OKAY, SO HAS ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENED? WELL WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT THERE'S MORE INTEREST IN MEETING OR CONFERENCE ROOMS BY A SLIGHT AMOUNT THAT'S AT LEAST CHECKED. OH 5% POINTS. STILL A MINORITY OF THE COMMUNITY. BUT IT'S I GUESS FOR KEEPING AN EYE ON IT AND PARKING SPACES DIDN'T CHANGE AT ALL. AND WE'LL GET TO PARKING IN A MINUTE. IN MORE DETAIL. UH ONE THING I'LL TELL YOU. I'VE NEVER DONE A COMMUNITY ATTITUDES SURVEY WHERE THE MOST WANTED ITEM IN RESPONSE. TO AN OPEN ENDED QUESTION. OR FIXED RESPONSE QUESTION. WASN'T A RESTAURANT. IEAN, M IT'S PEOPLE LIVED IN A COMMUNITY OF NO KITCHENS MAY JUST WANT TO GO OUT. SO THIS IS SO NOT SURPRISING. AND WHEN I DO A SURVEY WHERE RESTAURANTS DON'T COME OUT LIKE THE TOP ONE OR TWO, I'LL RETIRE THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE THE WORLD WILL HAVE SHIFTED. OKAY, THEN. AMONG RESIDENTS, FAVORITE BORN AMENITIES AND MARKET SQUARE. AND VILLAGE CENTER HALF WOULD ACCEPT MORE RESIDENTIAL DENSITY IF THEY DIDN'T COURAGE THOSE BUSINESSES TO OPEN AND THEN ALMOST AS MANY WOULD NOT. THIS WAS A NEW QUESTION. WE DIDN'T ADD THIS IN THE PAST. BUT WHAT'S FASCINATING ABOUT THESE RESULTS? IS THAT WHO DO YOU THINK IS MORE IN FAVOR OF IT? IF YOU LOOK AT THE YOUNGER FOLKS, 56% YEAH, I WOULD ACCEPT IT. THE OLDER FOLKS KNOW ONLY 42% AND THE SAME IS TRUE WITH THEIR LENGTH OF RESIDENCY, NEWER RESIDENTS 61% LONGER TERM RESIDENTS ONLY 46. SO WHAT? YOU DON'T KNOW? THAT'S A GENERATIONAL CHANGE YOUR LIFE CYCLE CHANGE. SO IT COULD BE THAT AS THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE GET OLDER, THEY'LL STILL THINK THAT OR THEY'LL GET OLDER AND WISE UP. YEAH. AND BE SORT OF FUN TO FOLLOW THAT TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT'S A LIFE CYCLE. CHANGE YOUR GENERATIONAL CHANGE. OKAY, SO ONE RESIDENT IN FOUR CONSIDERS TRAFFIC IN NEW ALBANESE MARKETS WHERE AND BILLETS CENTER A MAJOR PROBLEM WHEN THE SCHOOL DAY BEGINS. AND THEN PERCEPTIONS ARE SIMILAR. WENT TO SCHOOL DAY AND RIGHT? 25 28. BUT TRAFFIC IS NOT A PROBLEM AND INVOLVED IN EAST MARKET SQUARE. AND FEEL ITS CENTER DURING NON SCHOOL HOURS. ALMOST NOBODY SAYS IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM. IF YOU SAY IT'S A MINOR PROBLEM, WE'LL SAY IT'S NOT A PROBLEM AND THAT YEAH. LAST PIE.

IS SO LOPSIDEDI MEAN, WHEN YOU SEE NUMBERS LIKE THAT, IT MEANS THERE'S ALMOST NO VARIANCE IN THE DATA. LIKE, DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU WOULD HAVE INTERVIEWED. VIRTUALLY EVERYONE WOULD HAVE SAID. IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. THAT'S LESS TRUE. WHAT THE PART WHEN PIES ARE DIVIDED LIKE THAT, BUT IT GETS YOU. THE FACT THAT IT'S SIMILAR BETWEEN THEY WHEN SCHOOL BEGINS IN THE SCHOOL DAY, AND YOU WOULD EXPECT THOSE TO BE SIMILAR. IT'S LIKE THE SAME KIDS GETTING DROPPED OFF AND PICKED UP. THEN WE ASKED THAT YET ANOTHER PARKING QUESTION FOR MOST RESIDENTS TRAFFIC THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE NEW ALBANY COMMUNITY IS NOT A PROBLEM. DURING NON SCHOOL HOURS. AND THE MAJOR PROBLEM WAS 4% MINOR PROBLEM. 13% YOU HAVE EIGHT OUT OF 10 RESIDENTS NOT THINKING AND WHEN YOU SEE THE DATA LIKE THIS , AND YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT LIKE, I GOT A PHONE CALL ABOUT PARKING BEING A PROBLEM WELL, NOT THAT YOU DON'T LISTEN TO THAT PERSON. BUT THIS IF YOU CAN TEXT EVALUATE THOSE COMMENTS. COMMUNICATION. OKAY SO THE MOST COMMON SOURCES OF NEWS AND INFORMATION ABOUT NEW ALBANY OR THE CITY'S SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES FOLLOW THAT THAT TREND. SO IT WAS 9 2018. IT WAS 19% THEN IT BUMPED UP TO 25. AND NOW IT'S AT 40% FAR AND AWAY. THE MOST

[00:30:10]

WHERE YOU SAY NOW THE DATA CAN'T BE RIGHT. THEN YOU FIND OUT YET THE DATA ARE RIGHT BECAUSE SOMETHING'S GOING ON. THE PANDEMIC. ALL RIGHT. SO ACCORDING TO MANY RESIDENTS BETWEEN 42 51% STRESS. AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES RESULTING FROM THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC.

PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. AND IT'S SORT OF PAINS ME TO SAY IT. BUT THIS IS PROBABLY THE LEAST SURPRISING. FINDING SO THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO RECOGNIZED IT AT THE TIME. AND THEN SAID IT'S PERSISTENT. AND THE FACT. TO ME WHEN I SEE THOSE THREE. IT'S ESSENTIALLY ALL IT'S ONE. RIGHT IT'S STRESSFUL, STRESS RELATED AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. IT'S NOT LIKE JOBS. IT'S NOT A MORE CONCRETE SORT OF THING. AND THEN. THESE SO SUBSTANCE ABUSE, JOB LOSS TEAM SUBSTANCE ABUSE. AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ARE STILL NOTED, BUT BY MUCH SMALLER PERCENTAGE IS MUCH SMALLER. SO YOU HAVE. STRESS AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AS BEING SORT OF THE LEGACY OF THE TWO EUROPEAN TEMIC. AND THEN EIGHT OUT OF 10 RESIDENTS COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANY SUPPORT AVAILABLE FOR LOCAL STATE OR FEDERAL SOURCES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED IT'S NOT TO SAY THAT NOBODY HAD NO IDEAS THAT 18% OFFERED. MYRIAD SUGGESTIONS, BUT YOU SEE THAT LITTLE TINY FOOTNOTE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT. EACH OF THOSE WAS LESS THAN 6% SO THERE WAS NOT A SUGGESTION THAT MADE DOUBLE DIGITS. AND THEN ROUGHLY ONE RESIDENT IN SEVEN IS VERY CONCERNED. ABOUT ANOTHER WAVE OF COVID INFECTIONS DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY FROM 2022. SO PHIL FROM 20. SO IF YOU LOOK AT 2020 WAS 58% EXPECTING ANOTHER WAY THIS YEAR, IT WAS 14% BUT I HAD TO PUT THAT LITTLE NOTE IN BECAUSE THE B A 57 VARIANT, YOU KNOW THAT? SO THAT CAME OUT, IT SAYS THE SIBERIAN BEGAN TO APPEAR IN CENTRAL OHIO. IN EARLY JULY, WEEKS AFTER THE SURVEY DATA WERE COLLECTED. THAT'S WHY IT'S 14% HAD WE INTERVIEWED IN THE MIDST OF THAT. OR IF THAT HAD COME BEFORE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER, PRESUMABLY. AND THEN. UM THE OTHER NEW QUESTIONS LAST YEAR FOCUSED ON DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN ADDITION TO THE PANDEMIC. SO THIS IS JUST SORT OF WAS A STRIKING FINDING. I DON'T USUALLY PRESENT DATA LIKE THIS. BUT THREE OUT OF 10 RESIDENTS AGREE STRONGLY THAT NEW ALBANY IS A DIVERSE COMMUNITY UP SLIGHTLY. FROM 2020. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE AGREE STRONGLY THAT WENT FROM 23. 29% RIGHT. BUT IF YOU'RE LUCKY AT AGREE SOMEWHAT, DIDN'T CHANGE AT ALL. IF YOU LOOK AT NEITHER AGREE, NOR DISAGREE. IT CHANGED BY ONE POINT IF YOU LOOK AT DISAGREE SOMEWHAT DIDN'T CHANGE AT ALL. BUT IF YOU LIKE IT DISAGREE STRONGLY. IT CHANGED. SO. OPINIONS CHANGED ONLY AT THE EXTREMES. I AM NOT. I'M PRETTY SURE I DON'T HAVE A

[00:35:11]

AND, UM. IT SEEMS. IF WE DID THIS SURVEY FOR GENERATIONS, THERE ARE SOME OF THESE DIMENSIONS THAT WOULDN'T CHANGE. MUCH AT ALL. I MEAN THE YEAH. OKAY SO THE MOST COMMON SUGGESTIONS FOR PROMOTING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN NEW OR MINI INVOLVED EVENTS.

FESTIVALS AND TED TALKS. ARE ASKED THIS QUESTION AND FIVE COMMUNITIES. AND IN EVERY COMMUNITY. THE HOSTING OF EVENTS AND FESTIVALS. FOR WHATEVER REASON, IS ALWAYS THE MOST COMMON. WE MENTIONED RESPONSE. I DON'T KNOW. YEAH IT'S ALSO FAIR TO SAY THAT NOT EVERYONE AGREED THAT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE. RIGHT SO THIS YEAR AND TWO YEARS AGO THAT WAS THE SECOND MOST COMMONLY MENTIONED THEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF ITEMS IN THE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. ONE THING THAT I NOTICED WAS ENCOURAGED DISCUSSION AND LISTENING. YOU KNOW THAT REALLY? DROPPED. YES IT WAS DONE AND PROVEN THAT TO BE DROPPED FROM 15 TO 4% BECAUSE THERE'S MORE TALKING DISCUSSING RIGHT MORE TOLERANT. UM HAS JUMPED. AND IT'S INTERESTING THAT IT WAS A LOT OF YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE COMMENTS DEALT WITH TRUMP SUPPORTERS. AND IN SOME WAYS BECAUSE THAT'S BEEN IN THE NEWS SO MUCH. IT'S SORT OF HARD TO GET AWAY. FROM THAT. HIGHLIGHTS. OKAY SO AMONG THE CITY'S RESIDENTS, IMPRESSIONS OF NEW ALBANY ONCE AGAIN OR BROADLY POSITIVE. INDEED, MOST RESIDENTS ARE SATISFIED. WITH THE CITY SERVICES AND AMENITIES, ESPECIALLY THE COMMUNITY PARKS.

AS WELL AS YOUR PERFORMANCE. EIGHT OUT OF 10 RESIDENTS ARE PLEASED WITH OUR CITY OFFICIALS ARE MANAGING COMMERCIAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, WHILE NINE OUT OF 10 CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT NEW WOMAN IS HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THE ARRIVAL OF INTEL APPARENTLY HAS NO NEGATIVE IMPACT. ON PRESIDENT PERCEPTIONS . WE DID NOT PICK THAT UP. AND I DO THAT AS A POSITIVE. IT'S NOT THE SAY NO ONE'S UNHAPPY AND IT'S NOT TO SAY THAT UNHAPPY WON'T BE VOCAL. BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE WIDESPREAD. AND THEN INTEREST PROCESS AND EXPANDING THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN MARKETS WHERE AND VILLAGE CENTER ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY THOSE INVOLVING RESTAURANTS, AND THEN THROW IN BOUTIQUES. SO MANY YOUNGER, NEWER RESIDENTS WOULD ACCEPT MORE RESIDENTIAL DENSITY

[00:40:05]

CERTAINLY APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN. ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS IN THIS ROOM. REAL QUICK. I MEAN, I SEE THIS TRENDS 2018. I CAN'T HELP BUT I WAS APPOINTED IN 2018 , SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S COINCIDENCE OR NOT. YEAH I DIDN'T DRAG US DOWN. REALLY? SOMETHING'S GOING ON BEFORE I GOT HERE. I DON'T KNOW. UM I DID GET TO PARTICIPATE THIS YEAR. FIRST TIME WHILE I'VE BEEN ON COUNSELING FELT LIKE CHEATING ON A TEST. YEAH AMAZING. IT'S GREAT. UM. MARTY YOU DO THESE ALL OVER AND I'M ALWAYS JUST CURIOUS, UM, YOU KNOW, KIND OF CENTRAL HIGH COMMUNITIES. THE NUMBERS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF 88% FOR THE AH! EXCELLENT PLACE TO LIVE IN THE 89 HIT THE RIGHT DIRECTION. CAN YOU GIVE AN IDEA OF HOW THAT STACKS UP WITH SOME OF THE OTHER COMMUNITIES AND SPECIFIC CENTRAL OHIO? YOU ASKED ME BECAUSE YOU WANT ME TO FLATTER THE COMMUNITY? WELL I DON'T FEEL REAL SPECIAL. IF YOU SAY WHAT EVERYBODY IS USUALLY IN THE 85% RANGE OR 95% RANGE WHEN YOU AND THE DATA FOR THESE OTHER CITIES ARE ONLINE, SO YOU CAN JUST GO EITHER MY WEBSITE TO CITY WEBSITE. AND IF YOU COMPARE TO DUBLIN, WE JUST PRESENTED 10 . DUBLIN. DUBLIN REALLY STRONG, VERY COMPARABLE. BUT A SIMILAR DEMOGRAPHIC. YOU WOULD EXPECT THAT AH POWELL AGAIN A SIMILAR DEMOGRAPHIC. YOU WOULD EXPECT THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT GROWTH CITY SAY, AND WHITEHALL, IT'S DIFFERENT. IT'S DIFFERENT. THE COMMUNITIES ARE ESPECIALLY WHITEHALL. WE'RE IN THE FIELD WITH WHITEHALL. RIGHT NOW, THE COMMUNITIES ARE MUCH MORE DIVERSE, AND THEY HAVE MORE. UME A GREAT MAYOR AND SHE'S MAKING LOTS OF CHANGE. BUT THERE'S STILL SOME LEGACY ISSUES THAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH. THEIR NUMBERS ARE LOWER. AND I'M CURIOUS TO SEE IF THE NUMBERS GO UP. BECAUSE OF HER VISION FOR THE COMMUNITY OF CITY. WE HAVE BEEN DOING THAT EVERY TWO YEARS SINCE 1992. SO WE HAVE LOTS OF DATA POINTS. AND THEY'RE NOT THIS STRONG, BUT THEY'RE STRONG . THEY'RE STRONG. I MEAN, THESE . THESE ARE NUMBERS IN COMPARISON OR IN A VACUUM ARE STRONG. IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE IN THE FIFTIES AND A LOT OF THESE, AND YOU'RE THINKING WELL ARE THE OTHER COMMUNITIES IN THE FORTIES ARE IN THE SIXTIES WHEN YOU'RE IN THE NINETIES? THE WORST. YOU KNOW, THE BEST YOU CAN SAY IS YOUR AHEAD OF EVERYBODY ELSE THAT WORKS YOU CAN SAY IS RETIRED WITH EVERYBODY ELSE. RIGHT. BUT THESE, UM I MEAN THE DANGER WITH NUMBERS THIS POSITIVE THIS POSITIVE IS WHEN THE COMMUNITY STARTS TO SAY, WELL, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY? BECAUSE THEY GROW TO EXPECT STELLAR PERFORMANCE, WHICH YOU'RE APPARENTLY DELIVERING. BUT IS THERE SOME EXPECTATION THAT PEOPLE WILL BE LOOKING FOR? SOMETHING ELSE, SO IT DOESN'T SO THIS IS NOT A LICENSE TO STOP LISTENING. IN SOME WAYS, THIS IS A LICENSE. TO

[00:45:04]

I MEAN, AND IN SOME WAYS, BUT THE PARKLANDS YOU KNOW, I ASKED SCOTT IS WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE PARKLANDS. I GUESS I DIDN'T ASK HIM. WITH THAT QUESTION. COME ON. YOU'RE NOT GONNA SEE ME FOR THE LEAST TWO MORE YEARS. MAYBE LONGER, SO THIS IS YOUR CHANCE. SOMEBODY ELSE. RIGHT WELL, MARTY, THANK YOU. AS ALWAYS, I'M SURE SCOTT WILL BE ABLE TO DISTRIBUTE THE SURVEY RESULTS OF COUNSEL WE CAN READ THEM AT OUR LEISURE. WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS.

BUT THANK YOU FOR SLIDING ME AND APPRECIATE THAT. SO YES, I AM HERE THIS EVENING TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS IN YOUR OPTIONS, LEVY. THIS YEAR IT IS DUE TO EXPIRE. SENIOR STOCK OPTIONS. LEVY SERVES MORE THAN 60,000 SENIORS PER YEAR. UM THIS IS NOT AN INCREASE. THIS IS A RENEWAL, SO TAXPAYERS WILL BE PAYING THE SAME THAT THEY ALREADY PAY FOR SERVICES SUCH AS MEALS ON WHEELS, TRANSPORTATION TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEMS. UM MINOR HOME REPAIR. UM ALL OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS NECESSARY SUPPORTS FOR OUR SENIORS TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOME AS LONG AS POSSIBLE SAFELY AND SECURELY WITHOUT THE PASSAGE OF THIS LEVEE OF THESE SERVICES ARE IN DANGER OF GOING AWAY.

[00:50:01]

[7. BOARD/COMMISSION REPORTS:]

AND OF COURSE, THERE IS THE DISCUSSION OF WETLANDS IN THE UNITED THIS TIME IS THAT PLAN TO EVEN HAPPEN, BUT THAT WAS REALLY THE ONLY QUESTION THAT CAME UP ABOUT THE 509 ACRES AGAIN. IF YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT HEARING THIS, YOU'LL HEAR IT ON OCTOBER 4TH. YOU'LL GET THE FULL PRESENTATION IN THE FIRST READING ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM AS WELL. AND HERE A COUPLE MORE

[00:55:02]

HE'S JUST GOT TO COME OUTSIDE THE EASEMENT HE HIS CONCERN WAS THAT REALLY TOOK A BIG CHUNK OF HIS BACKYARD OUT. HE WAS REALLY TRYING TO SAVE AS MUCH LAND AS HE COULD FOR HIS BACKYARD. HE'S GOT A COUPLE OF KIDS WITH THE DOG. HE CAN STILL BUILD. IT JUST CAN'T DO IT. YEAH. SO UM, AND CITY ENGINEER WAS NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THAT, UH, APPLICATION AS WELL SO AND THAT WAS RIGHT OVER IN IN BRITAIN. ALRIGHTY, THE NEXT ONE. AH THIS IS AGAIN A ZONING REQUEST TO, UH LOOK AT 18.3 ACRES. UM SO THIS WAS AN INTERESTING ONE. UH, THIS IS, UH LAND THAT IS WANTS TO BE BROKEN INTO SUB AREAS. THREE DIFFERENT SUB AREAS. THERE'S AN EXISTING ANIMAL BOARDING AND DAY CARE FACILITY TO REMAIN AS PERMITTED. THEY WANT TO GO AHEAD AND ALLOW FOR GENERAL EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT AND THIS CONSTRUCTIONS UP TO REALLY HELP THE CLOVER VALLEY ROAD EXTENSIONS SO THIS WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL, VERY SUCCESSFUL DOG KENNEL UP THERE THAT CAN LAND THEY WENT AHEAD AND KIND OF CARVED IT UP SO THAT THEY COULD CONTINUE OPERATING. UM BUT ALLOW CLOVER VALLEY TO KIND OF SHOOT THROUGH AT AN ANGLE WHEN THEY EXTEND IT, AND SO, UM KENNEL CLUB. YES YEAH. CLUB USA. IS THAT THE ONE YOU KNOW? KENNEL CLUB USA? YES, YES. YEP YEP. YEP UM AND IT WAS JUST, UH IT REALLY WAS A NICE IT REALLY WORKED OUT. WELL THE ONLY ISSUE ON THAT IS ONE OF THE PARCELS REALLY DOESN'T HAVE ANY ACCESS TO THE ROAD WHEN IT COMES THROUGH, BUT THAT SMALL PIECE IS GOING TO BE COMBINED WITH ANOTHER PIECE, WHICH WILL THEN HAVE ACCESS ON THAT ON THAT FRONT. UM, SO ANYWAYS, IT'S ALL LINE TOWARDS STRATEGIC PLAN. AND THAT'S WHY THEY WERE DOING THAT. ALRIGHTY AND SO WE'VE GOT NOW NEXT TO CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION TO ALLOW FOR TEMPORARY USE OF A KIND OF PRE BATCH PLANT ON A PORTION OF THE 64 ACRE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT SITE WITHIN THE JUG STREET L E G L G E ZONING DISTRICT REALLY THIS IS, UM HORIZON DEVELOPMENT. THEY HAVE THAT HORIZON COURT UP THERE. AH! KIND OF A SAD SITUATION. THEY HAD A SUPPLIER FOR THE CONCRETE THAT FELL THROUGH DUE TO SUPPLY ISSUES AND THE ONLY WAY TO STAY ON TRACK WITH THE HORIZON DEVELOPMENT WAS TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN BATCH ON SITE AND SO THIS WAS TO GET A CONDITIONAL USE TO GO AHEAD AND DO IT. AH AND IT, UH, THINK IT IS ONLY FOR ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY STAY ON TRACK FOR EVERYTHING, AND IT WAS ALSO PASSED WITH A COUPLE OF CONDITIONS. UM NOTHING. NOTHING MAJOR. JUST RESTORE THE SITE BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL USE AND MAKE SURE IT'S VISIBLE, VISUALLY APPEALING. THE APPLICATION PROCESS, A TEMPORARY BATCH PLANT SITE OPERATION UNTIL JUNE 31ST OF 2023. UM AND SO THIS KIND OF TOOK THEM BY SURPRISE. TOOK EVERYONE BY SURPRISE, BUT THIS WILL HELP PROVIDE CONCRETE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION HORIZON COURT AS WELL AS PHASE ONE OF THEIR OWN PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. UM, AS SOON AS THEY'RE DONE.

THAT BATCH PLANT IS OFF. SO IT'S KIND OF AN EMERGENCY JUST TO GET THAT. AND RUNNING TO KEEP

[01:00:05]

ARCHITECTURE OF YOU BOARD. THERE WAS A MEETING ONE ITEM ON THE AGENDA, AND IT WAS THE PLANT FORWARD THE PICKLE BALL COURTS AND THERE WERE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EAST SIDE OF IT AND THE LENGTH OF THE PARKING ROAD AND THAT ONE WAY IN ONE WAY OUT WITH SUCH A LONG EXTENT AND PARKING SPACES. THEY ASKED IF THE CITY WOULD CONSIDER LOOKING AT EXTENSION OVER TO THE OTHER ACCESS ROUTE THAT IS ADJACENT TO IT TO GIVE ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE EGRESS. AND THERE WAS SOME QUESTION ABOUT CLARITY. ON THE WEST SIDE IN TERMS OF THE ASPHALT IN HOW IT WOULD WORK WITH RESPECT TO THE ROADS. IT WAS A BIT CONFUSING, SO THEY POSTPONED ANY VOTE ON IT UNTIL THE NEXT MONTH. OKAY DRAWING ON ANYBODY HAS OR HAS NOT SEEN IT. ONE QUESTION MARK. POSTPONING IS THAT THEY HAD QUESTIONS. DO YOU SEE ANY POSTPONED A VOTE? WHAT DO YOU SAY? THEY DID NOT VOTE ON IT. THEY POSTPONED IT UNTIL NEXT MONTH. THEY WANTED THE CITY TO COME BACK AND SEE IF THEY COULD ADD. AND EGRESS UP WITH THAT LONG PARKING EXTENSION, SO THERE WAS NO VOTE. IT'S INTERESTING. I THEIR EGRESS THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR. THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT ORIGINALLY HAVING FOLKS PARK IN THEIR PARKING LOT FROM THE PICKLE BOMB, SO WE TOOK THAT EGRESS OUT. WELL I GUESS WE COULD ADD. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT'S BEEN ARCHITECTURE. GOTCHA OTHER PEOPLE DISCUSSED THE ARCHITECTURAL OKAY. TOWNSHIP ARCHITECTURE. RONSON'S THEIR CONCERN IS THAT LONG LENGTH OF THE PARKING ON THE EAST SIDE. YEP LOT OF CARS GOING IN AND OUT AND ONE YES. SO A LINE LOTS OF DISRUPTION. IT'S GOING TO BE COMPLICATED, GETTING IN AND OUT. YEAH THERE COULD BE GIVE UP THREE SPOTS, AND MAYBE INTO THE ACCESS ROAD ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE THERE THAT AT LEAST GIVES AN ALTERNATIVE WITHOUT EVERYTHING BEING IN A LONG TIME. A COUPLE OF CONFUSION UPON THE UPPER LEFT ORDER AS TO HOW THE ROAD STRUCTURE AND SOME OF THE ASPHALT WOULD WORK IF THE ROADWAY IS ACTUALLY ENTRANCE AND EXIT. SO THEY'RE ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION THERE AND QUESTIO, MIKE. THAT WAS IT. AND YET MADE FROM THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS MEETING SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD. YES THERE WAS A MEETING LAST WEEK ACTUALLY COULDN'T ATTEND PETER AND GIVE ME A GREAT SUMMARY. AND IF YOU WANT TO TAG ON THE MY UPDATE OUR SENIOR. OUR SENIOR STUDENT THAT WAS ON THE COMMISSION GRADUATED, SO WE APPOINTED A NEW ONE. LILY MCGRAW . SHE'S A JUNIOR OVERWRITTEN ALBANY. UM AND THEN WE HAD A SENIOR PRESENT. HE DID HIS SENIOR PROJECT ON RECYCLING IN THE NORMANDY PARKS AND I DON'T KNOW WE GET WRAPPED UP IF YOU WANT TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON THAT, ADRIAN THE BULK OF THE MEANING WAS SURROUNDING THE BUDGET THAT WILL BE PRESENTING THE CAPITAL.

UH, WORKSHOP HERE SHORTLY. I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO GET TOO INTO THE WEEDS ON SPECIFICS, BUT IT'S GONNA BE A LITTLE NUMBER, SO IT'LL ALL BE GOOD. JUST SLIDE IT RIGHT THROUGH. UM IT'S ALL GOOD STUFF, BUT IT'S FUN KIND OF SEEING THE FRAMEWORK FOR WHAT WE'VE GOT PLANNED FOR NEXT YEAR COMING TOGETHER, BUT WE CAN SHARE THAT AT THE RETREAT. BUT IF YOU WANT TO SHARE ANYTHING, BUT NOAH'S PROJECT RECYCLING OR ANYTHING ELSE AGREE. SO NOAH LOOKED AT HIS SENIOR PROJECT WAS TO LOOK AT RECYCLING RATES AND THREE DIFFERENT PARKS, AND HE LOOKED AT ROSE, RUN, RUN RUN

[01:05:02]

HIS SENIOR PROJECT LILY, OUR NEW BOARD MEMBER, PARTICIPATED IN THE CONVERSATION. SHE WAS GREAT , SO I THINK GETTING THESE YOUNG PEOPLE INVOLVED IN LEARNING ABOUT GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN A REAL BRIGHT SPOT. I THINK FOR THE BOARD SO FAR. GREAT. WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT STUDENT MEMBERS ON THE OTHER BOARDS, TOO. REALLY SHAKE IT UP A LITTLE BIT. GREAT UM, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN STAY OUT THAT LATE MIGHT BE PAST HER CURFEW FOR PLANNING COMMISSION. HMM. UPDATE FROM THE IDEA IMPLEMENTATION WE HAD OUR FIRST MEETING OF THE NEW PANEL. WE HAD AN ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING.

GREAT SOUNDS EXCITING UPDATE FROM THE CEMETERY RESTORATION ADVISORY BOARD MEETING AND THERE WAS NO MEANING THE PUBLIC RECORDS COMMISSION ANY CORRESPONDENCE FOR COMMUNICATION RECEIVED FROM A MEMBER OF COUNCIL THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON ALRIGHT. SECOND READING WARDENS AND PUBLIC HEARING

[9. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARING:]

THE EMERGENCY CLAUSE WAS INCLUDED IN THERE IN ORDER TO ENABLE COUNCIL TO FILL THE SEATS IS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. SHOULD COUNCIL APPROVED THE LEGISLATION. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE. GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ANYTHING FROM ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING ORDINANCE 26 2022. THERE IS NO PUBLIC COMMENT. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING IS VERY MOTION ON THE ORGANS. DARTBOARD IT'S 26 2022 2ND. COUNCIL MEMBER FELLOWS. YES YES. COUNCIL MEMBER BRISK. YES COUNSELOR. I'M SORRY, MAYOR SPOTTING? YES COUNCIL MEMBER

[01:10:04]

[10. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES:]

IT'S COMPRISED OF SEVERAL SEVERAL PARCELS. BUT IT IS BEING REQUESTED FOR ANNEXATION UNDER THE EXPEDITED TYPE ONE FORMAT, WHICH IS A STANDARD FORMAT THAT WE USE, AND YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH. UH WE HAVE AN EXISTING ANNEXATION AGREEMENT WITH PLAIN TOWNSHIP. BUT YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE LEGISLATIVE REPORT. THERE'S A REFERENCE TO JERSEY TOWNSHIP IN THERE THAT ACTUALLY SHOULD READ PLAIN TOWNSHIP. THAT ANNEXATION AGREEMENT WAS ENTERED INTO IN FEBRUARY OF 2008. FRANKLIN COUNTY DOES NOT REQUIRE A ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT, SO NONE WAS SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION. THE FRANKLIN COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS APPROVED THE ANNEXATION PETITION BY THE OWNER. AND JULY OF THIS YEAR, AND THE 60 DAY WAITING PERIOD HAS LAPSED, SO IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR COUNCIL TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS NOW. THE ONE THING I WILL ADD, IS THAT THIS AREA IS WITHIN THE TRANSITIONAL AREA OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN, SO IT'S GOOD JUST COULD END UP BEING DEVELOPED AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. WITH SOME TYPE OF A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. THERE'S ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME TYPE OF RESIDENTIAL IN THERE. WE ACTUALLY IN THE PLANS SHOW A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS AS AS POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES. SO THERE'S NO CURRENT PLAN FOR THIS RIGHT NOW . THIS WAS THIS WAS A REQUEST MADE BY THE PROPERTY OWNER. THERE ARE KNOWLEDGE. THERE ARE NO PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT. I THINK THERE WAS SOME INTEREST AT ONE POINT BY CON TO DEVELOP THE AREA. BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THAT HAS SINCE, UM GONE AWAY. HOW IS IT DOING NOW? THEY'RE ALSO ONE WAY OR MULTIPLE ARTISTS SO ONCE IT ONCE IT IS ANNEXED TO THE CITY, IT WOULD BECOME IT WOULD FALL UNDER THE AGRICULTURAL ZONING, SO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH REZONING PROCESS, WHICH WOULD BE APPROVED BY CONSIDERED BY COUNSEL. SO THAT'S JUST NORTH OF THE CANINE COMPANIONS CAMPUS, OKAY? ANOTHER WAS CONVERSATION SOMETIME AGO ABOUT SAUDER ROAD EXTENSION. I MEAN, I GUESS THAT WOULD BE IMPLICATED IF THERE'S ANY DEVELOPMENT, OKAY? AND THEN WE WOULD ALSO SO WE, UM I HAVEN'T RECEIVED AN UPDATE YET ON THE COUNTY'S GRANT REQUEST, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT FRANKLIN COUNTY WAS GOING TO TAKE THE LEAD. ON THE GRANT REQUEST FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INTERSECTION OF 605. AND IF WE'RE SUCCESSFUL , THE CITY AND THE TOWNSHIP WOULD BE CO APPLICANTS WITH THE COUNTY. IF WE'RE SUCCESSFUL AND AVOIDED THE GRANT, AND WE COULD POTENTIALLY. INITIATE SOME TYPE OF ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. ABOUT 24 MONTHS. OF FROM THE DATE THAT THE GRANT IS AWARDED.

BASED ON DESIGN AND. LAND ACQUISITION IN THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, BUT DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT, THEY WOULD NEED TO BE A TRAFFIC ANALYSIS DONE. AND UH, WE HAVE TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF 605 AS WELL AS ONE JOE, SINCE WE'RE BROUGHT THAT INTERSECTION UP.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE. FOR CORNERS THERE, THE JURISDICTIONS THAT MEET JUST WHILE WE'RE LOOKING AT IT ON THE MAP THERE, SO THREE OUT OF FOUR OF THE CORNERS ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR JURISDICTION. SO IF WE'RE WHAT THAT INCLUDES THAT OFFSET SO THE SOUTHEAST, SO LET'S START CAN YOU SEE ON EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE SIDE BY THIS? YOU SAID SOUTH EAST, SO THAT'S UNINCORPORATED, UNINCORPORATED NORTH SOUTHWEST IS INCORPORATED. THAT'S IN THE CITY. NORTH NORTHWEST IS UNINCORPORATED AND NORTHEAST IS UNINCORPORATED. OKAY THIS IS A SIMILAR SITUATION. WHAT WE HAD MANY YEARS AGO AT 62 IN CENTRAL COLLEGE. UM GETTING IN THE CITY. WAIT A MAJOR ROLE IN IMPROVING THAT. THAT INTERSECTION AS WELL. I DIDN'T. I DID GET A CHANCE TO RUN INTO THE COUNTY ENGINEER CORNELL ROBERTSON AND WE TALKED BRIEFLY ABOUT THIS PROJECT. OBVIOUSLY HIS TEAM'S WORKING HARD ON THE BABBITT ROAD. UM ROUNDABOUT, WHICH I DIDN'T REALIZE ALL THE WORK THAT HAD TO

[01:15:06]

[11. RESOLUTIONS AND PUBLIC HEARING:]

YES. FIRST RESOLUTION ARE 30 TO 2022. RESOLUTION ARE 33 2020 TO A RESOLUTION AFFIRMING THE RECOMMENDATIONS. THE NEW ALBANY TAX AND SENATE REVIEW COUNCIL FOR FRANKLIN COUNTY, JOE, THANK YOU. THIS IS AN ANNUAL, UH THERE'S AN ANNUAL REVIEW OF OUR TAX INCENTIVES. THESE ARE THE SIERRA AGREEMENTS THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR WITH OUR SOME OF OUR BUSINESSES. TYPICALLY THOSE, UH C R A TAX INCENTIVE. AGREEMENTS HAVE A DURATION OF ABOUT 15 YEARS. SOME OF THEM VARY FROM THAT. BUT EACH YEAR WE ARE REQUIRED TO REVIEW EACH OF THOSE TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE AND IF NOT TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. SO OUR TEAM MET WITH THE FRANKLIN COUNTY TURK, UM, WHEN IT WAS LAST MONTH ALL 17 OF THE AGREEMENTS WERE FOUND TO BE IN COMPLIANCE AND RECOMMENDED FOR CONTINUANCE. AH LOOK, WE AS SHE'S DONE IN PREVIOUS YEARS, JENNIFER AND HER TEAM PUT TOGETHER THE ANNUAL TURKEY REPORT, WHICH YOU SHOULD HAVE IN YOUR MAILBOX IS AND WHAT IT DOES IS SHOWS THE ORIGINAL TARGET AMOUNTS THAT THE. BUSINESSES WERE REQUIRED TO HIT OR ACHIEVED IN TERMS OF INCOME TAX. AND TOTAL INVESTMENT AND WHERE THEY STAND TODAY AND IN RELATIONSHIP TO THOSE BENCHMARKS AGAIN. EVERYONE WAS FOUND TO BE IN COMPLIANCE IN THE TURF PANEL

[01:20:04]

CINZANO APPRECIATES THE EFFORT PRESENT THAT IN A VERY, UH DETAILED WAY THAT ALLOWS HIS STAFF AND THE ORDER HIMSELF TO REVIEW THAT INFORMATION AND ASK QUESTIONS DURING THE TURK MEETING, AND THIS YEAR ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING WENT WITH FLYING COLORS, AND I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE STAFF'S EFFORTS. UM GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO TALK REGARDING RESOLUTION ARE 33 2022? THERE IS NO PUBLIC COMMENT WILL CLOSE.

THE SAME STANDARDS APPLY IN LICKING COUNTY, SO WE MET WITH THE LOOKING COUNTY TURK ABOARD AND IN THIS CASE, WE HAVE 19 AGREEMENTS IN PLACE. 17 OF THOSE 19 AGREEMENTS ARE MORE MATURE. THERE ARE TWO THAT ARE IN THE RAMP UP PERIOD. SO THOSE TWO THAT ARE IN THE RAMP UP PERIOD HAVE NOT YET ACHIEVED THEIR BENCHMARKS. HOWEVER, UM THEY DON'T APPEAR TO BE IN IN ANY TYPE OF DIFFICULTY SO THE RECOMMENDATION WAS TO APPROVE AND CONTINUE ALL 19 OF THOSE AGREEMENTS AND LOOKING COUNTY. RIGHT ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE RESOLUTION? WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING RESOLUTION R. 34. THERE IS NO PUBLIC COMMENT WILL CLOSE. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS THEIR EMOTIONAL AND RESOLUTION OR 34. FOR THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION ARE 34 2022. CANCEL MY BREAKFAST? YES COUNCIL MEMBER SHOP FELLOWS COUNCIL MEMBER DEREK? YES RISK JUST NEXT HOLDING. YES. TRAVEL? YES. I HAVE SEVEN. YES POSTER. THAT RESOLUTION ARE 34 2022 FINAL RESOLUTION RESOLUTION ARE 35 2022 OR A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER EXECUTE ALL CONTRACTS RELATED TO BUILD OUT OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AT 8000 WALTON PARKWAY IN THE WAY OF COMPETITIVE BOAT. BIDDING. EXCUSE ME. DIRECTOR JOB. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. SO 19. THAT IS THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES THAT WE HAVE HIRED TO DATE. SO FROM JANUARY TWO TODAY IN THE CITY, AND WE EXPECT TO HAVE SIX MORE HIRED BY THE END OF THIS YEAR. SO OF COURSE NOT ALL THOSE EMPLOYEES REPORT TO VILLAGE HALL , BUT WE DO HAVE 37 EMPLOYEES REPORTING HERE. IN 33 WORKSTATIONS THAT I WILL SAY INCLUDE WORKSTATIONS THAT HISTORICALLY HAVE NOT BEEN WORKSTATIONS, INCLUDING THE COUNCIL MAILROOM, THE FORMER LOBBY OF MAYOR'S COURT SOON TO BE WHAT WAS A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, A FILE ROOM BY JEN'S OFFICE THAT HOUSES THAT WILL HAVE TO HOUSE ALL THE AVIAN STREAMING EQUIPMENT FROM THIS ROOM, SO WE REALLY ARE JUST FITTING PEOPLE IN SOME EMPLOYEES WILL MOVE OUT TO THE INTEL TRAILER ONCE THAT IS HERE AND READY TO GO, BUT WE DO HAVE A KIND OF A SPACE CRUNCH AND VILLAGE HALL. SO THAT LED US TO START THINKING ABOUT WHEN MAYOR'S COURT MOVED OUT WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WITH THIS SPACE. UM AND REALLY, AT THAT TIME WE THOUGHT WE HAD A NEED FOR MORE MEETING SPACE AND CONFERENCE ROOMS THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW 2022 HAPPENED. WE STARTED THIS HIRING, SO WE REALIZED WE NEED MORE OFFICE BASED LOOKED, YOU KNOW, EVALUATED, EVALUATED SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES, BUT IN THE KIND OF THIS SHORT TERM INTERMEDIATE TERM, NEED. THE BEST DECISION AT THE TIME RIGHT NOW IS TO MOVE THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT OFFSITE. AND SO JOE WENT AROUND AND LOOKED AT, YOU KNOW, AVAILABLE SPACE FOR THAT KIND OF THE SIZE WE NEEDED IN MEETING SOME CRITERIA OF HAVING PROXIMITY TO VILLAGE FALL. UM AND WE FOUND ABOUT 2300 SQUARE FEET OF SPACE AT 8000. WALTON PARKWAY. UM AND SO ONCE FINANCE WOULD MOVE OUT OF VILLAGE HALL THAN THE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT, WHICH HAS NEVER ACTUALLY BEEN HOUSED TOGETHER WOULD BE RELOCATED. INTO THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT'S BASE AND KNOW WHAT WORK NEEDS TO HAPPEN THERE IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE, UM EITHER CURRENT OR FUTURE EMPLOYEES AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO

[01:25:02]

BUILD OUT CREDIT. YEAH THERE'S A YEAH, $20 PER SQUARE FOOT. UM T I ALLOWANCE AND THE TERM SHEET.

I DON'T OPEN THE QUESTION, SIR. UM I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH CREATING MORE SPACE AND MAKE IT MORE WORKABLE FOR THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND EVERYWHERE ELSE. IN CITY HALL. IT'S MORE OF THE BROADER QUESTION, I GUESS IS WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE IN TERMS OF NEXT YEAR? THE YEAR AFTER? I KNOW IT'S ALWAYS HARD TO PREDICT , BUT CERTAINLY OUR CITIES GROWING, NOT SHRINKING. WE'RE GONNA HAVE MORE ON STAFF. WE'RE GOING TO NEED MORE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAN WE HAVE. AND THIS IS A KIND OF A SHORTSTOP YET ARE WE STARTING TO THINK ABOUT OR SHOULD WE BE THINKING ABOUT? WHERE CAN WE CREATE MORE SPACE THAT WILL ACCOMMODATE GROWTH NEEDS IN THE FUTURE. I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO IT, BUT I THINK IT'S A QUESTION WE NEED TO START TO ADDRESS AND PLAN. SO WE'VE BEEN WE'VE BEGUN WITH WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING. I'M JUST ASKING A BROTHER QUESTION WE BEGAN TO TAKE A LOOK AT ALL OF OUR ASSETS, INCLUDING THOSE THAT ARE UNDER LEAST RIGHT NOW. SEE WHAT YOU WANT OPPORTUNITIES. WE MAY HAVE 3 TO 5 YEARS OLD. IS THERE MORE SPACE AT THE 8000 MOUNTAIN PARKWAY BUILDING? IS TODAY. UM SOME OF THE OTHER TENANTS MAY WANT TO EXTEND SO WE DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WILL LOOK IN A FEW YEARS, BUT WE THINK THAT THIS SPACE HAS BEEN CONFIGURED TODAY SHOULD ACCOMMODATE THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT'S NEEDS FOR T BROADER CONVERSATION WE'VE BEEN HAVING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS TO IS ABOUT THE FUTURE HOME OF THE INCUBATOR. YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO STAY THERE. INCUBATORS PUT SOMEWHERE ELSE. THEN THERE SUDDENLY A LOT OF SPACE AT 8000 PARKWAY OR IF WE ARE ABLE TO FIND A SPOT THAT'S GOOD FOR THE INCUBATOR AND HAS ADDITIONAL SPACE FOR CITY STAFF. THAT WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY AS WELL. SO SOME OF YOU KNOW, SORT OF MOVING PARTS. BUT YOU KNOW, MIKE, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. WE'RE WE'RE NOT. WE'RE NOT GETTING ANY SMALLER. AND YOU KNOW, LAND. THEY'RE NOT MAKING ANY MORE LAND EITHER. SO WE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL HOW WE PLAN FOR THAT FUTURE GROWTH. YEAH, I JUST I'VE SEEN OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND GROUPS WHERE THEY START THE PIECEMEAL FIX SOLUTIONS, AND PRETTY SOON YOU'RE SCATTERED IN A LOT OF PLACES AS OPPOSED TO THINKING. DO WE HAVE TWO BIG LOCATIONS THAT ACCOMMODATE ENOUGH GROWTH, AS OPPOSED TO A LOT OF LITTLE ONES SCATTERED BECAUSE IT'S AVAILABLE SPACE. I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE LEAST THINGS THAT WE HAVE. FUTURE OPTIONS. IT'S CALLED YEAH, THANK YOU. GOOD QUESTION. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON RESOLUTION, OR 35. NOW WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC MEAT. EXCUSE ME. THE PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING RESOLUTION ARE 35. THERE IS NO PUBLIC COMMENT WILL CLOSE. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS VERY EMOTION ON THE RESOLUTION FOR ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION ARE 35 20 22ND.

[01:30:06]

[12. STANDING COMMITTEE REPORTS]

UM, WE FELT AS A GROUP THAT IT WAS NECESSARY TO CHANGE IT FROM GRANTS AND NONPROFIT FUNDING TO HOTEL MOTEL BED TAX GRANT. THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEAR ON WHERE THE MONEY WAS COMING FROM.

AND PUTS A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A PURPOSE BEHIND THE ASK THAT EACH APPLICANT CAN PUT FORTH KNOWING THAT IT'S ACTUALLY COMING FROM THE HOTEL MOTEL BED TAX. SO THAT WAS OUR FIRST THING THAT WE DO IS WE JUST RENAMED THE WHOLE, UM I'LL CALL IT GRANT NONPROFIT FUNDING, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE RE NAMED. UNDER THE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS. REALLY THERE'S NO CHANGE HERE AT ALL. UM THIS IS JUST REQUIREMENTS FOR THE APPLICANTS HAVE TO BE FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED NOT FOR PROFITS. MAKE SURE THEY ARE TIES OR DO ALL THE COMPANY MAKE SURE YOU'RE IN GOOD STANDINGS IF YOU'VE DONE ANY OTHER PRIOR, UM, APPLICATION FOR GRANT AND MAKE SURE YOU HIT THE DEADLINES. SO REALLY, THAT ONE IS PRETTY EASY FOR BULLET POINTS. UH, THE NEXT ONE. UH, FIVE OF THOSE BULLETS MAINTAINED FROM PREVIOUS WE ADDED TWO ADDITIONAL ONES. UH TWO ADDITIONAL ONES. WELL, THE FIVE THAT ARE THE SAME AS FIRST. UM EVEN IF YOU MEET THE REQUIREMENTS ABOVE, YOU'RE NOT ELIGIBLE IF IT'S FOR AN INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATIONS DESIRE NG FUNDING TO TRAVEL OUTSIDE IN NEW ALBANY. THAT'S BULLET POINT NUMBER FOUR ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WITH BUDGET DEFICIT INCURRED PRIOR TO THE APPLICATION AND ENDOWMENT FUNDS. THE TO THAT WE ADDED TO THAT IS ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT POLITICAL CANDIDATES, MOVEMENTS AND OR PHILOSOPHIES. AND ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE PRIMARY PURPOSE IS TO INFLUENCE PROMOTE AN ATTEMPT TO INITIATE LEGISLATION. WE FELT THAT THAT MADE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEAR ON THE APPLICANTS THAT WOULD BE APPLYING FOR A HOTEL MOTEL TAX. UM BEFORE I MOVE ON TO THE NEXT GRANT CRITERIA, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT AREA? ANYBODY? I THINK THIS WAS GOOD AD. OKAY, THANK YOU. AND THEN FINALLY, UHX CRITERIA THAT YOU WILL NEED TO, UM, LOOK AT FOR THE APPLICATION . YOU CAN MEET ONE OR MORE OF THEM, UM, AND YOU'LL SEE HOW WE TIE THAT INTO THE ACTUAL APPLICATION HERE IN A SECOND, SO FIRST BEAUTIFICATION OF PUBLIC PROPERTY. IMPROVEMENTS TO AND MAINTENANCE OF HISTORIC PROPERTY. ACTIVITY EVENTS THAT APPEAL TO A BROAD SEGMENT IN NEW ALBANY RESIDENTS. THE CULTURAL ARTS EVENTS. ENHANCES NEW ALBANESE. IMAGE INCREASES MEDIA COVERAGE LOCAL REGIONAL NATIONAL AND ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS THAT BRING CUSTOMERS TO NEW ALBANY BUSINESSES. AND WE FELT THAT REALLY THAT ENCAPSULATED SIX REALLY GOOD BULLETS THAT WOULD DRIVE BUSINESS INTO NEW ALBANY AND PROBABLY ALSO INTO OUR HOTELS. UM. I WILL TELL YOU AND

[01:35:13]

THEN YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT NEED TO FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. EVERYTHING ELSE ON THERE IS REALLY SUPPORTS, UM. THE EXACT SAME PROCESS THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH. THERE'S REALLY NO OTHER CHANGES. THE ONLY CHANGE THAT WE HAVE IS NUMBER EIGHT. NUMBER EIGHT IS A POST ACTIVITY. EVENT FUNDING FOLLOW UP QUESTION THAT USED TO BE A SEPARATE PROCESS THAT WE WOULD SEND OUT AT THE END OF THE YEAR. I'M GOING TO KIND OF PLEAD MY IGNORANCE ON THIS. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WE HAD THIS BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE I'VE EVER SEEN A SURVEY COME BACK ON. THEIR UTILIZATION OF THE FUNDS. PREVIOUS YEARS. WE'VE RECEIVED THEIR INFORMATION FROM INVOICES AND REVENUES AND EXPENSES, BUT THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOT MORE THAT WAS ENTAILED ON THAT. SO WHAT WE FELT AS A COMMITTEE TO DO IS GO AHEAD AND INCLUDE THAT RIGHT INTO THIS PROCESS. YEAH, RIGHT INTO THE APPLICATION AND TAKE THAT SEPARATE PROCESS OUT SO BASICALLY IF YOU RECEIVED MONEY GRANT FUNDING FROM NEW ALBANY IN 2022, PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS A THROUGH F . AND IF YOU DID NOT SKIP RIGHT ONTO NUMBER NINE, SO THIS WILL ENSURE THAT WILL HAVE THE PROPER FOLLOW UP ON THE UTILIZATION OF OUR FUNDS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS. AND THEN THE SPREADSHEET.

SPECTACULAR OTHER THAN CHANGING NUMBERS FROM 2021 TO 2022, ETCETERA IN 2023. WE DIDN'T CHANGE IT AT ALL. THE ONLY THING WE CHANGED WAS THE VERY FIRST SENTENCE ON THE INSTRUCTIONS.

YEAH, AS PART OF THE AND THEN IN QUOTES, HOTEL MOTEL, BEN TAX GRANT. THEY USED TO BE NON PROFIT RIGHT THERE. WE CHANGED IT TO MAKE IT ALIGNED WITH THE REST OF THE DOCUMENTS. ANYTHING I MISSED MARLENE COUPLE OF COMMENTS. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO CLARIFY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT . UM WE DID. WE CHANGED IN THE NUMBER OF PLACES SUBTLE WORDS SO THAT WE FELT THAT WAS MUCH MORE CLEAR THAT THIS IS NOT AN APPLICATION FOR US TO SUPPORT AN ORGANIZATION. THIS IS TO SUPPORT AN EVENT OR AN ACTIVITY OR SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BE HAPPENING. TO IMPROVE PUBLIC FACILITY OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. IT'S NOT WE'RE SUPPORTING THE SYMPHONIES GENERAL FUND. IT'S THE SYMPHONY MAY APPLY FOR A SERIES THAT THEY

[01:40:02]

I LIKE THE IDEA OF IDENTIFYING EVENTS AS OPPOSED TO ON ONGOING FINANCIAL SUPPORT. REMOVE THE WORD PROJECTS. IT'S NOW ACTIVITY OR MHM, WHICH EVERYTHING THAT WE PUT IN HERE IS VERY SPECIFIC WORDING IS, MARLENE SAID, AND THAT THAT REALLY DONATE, YOU KNOW THAT MAKES IT. ONE TIME OF APPLICATION ONE EVENT ONE ACTIVITY, NOT MULTIPLE. YEARS WORTH. OF COURSE, THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT WHICH WE'VE ALREADY BEEN SEEING, BUT WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF THIS. KEEP GOING BACK TO THE SYMPHONY. THE SYMPHONY CAN APPLY FOR THREE GRANTS IF THEY HAVE THREE PROGRAMS THAT THEY WANT TO APPLY FOR. THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING ALREADY, ANYWAY, AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING. I DON'T SEE ANY ISSUE WITH THEM. SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR UPDATING. I GUESS THE ONE QUESTION THAT WE HAD CLASS GO AROUND WAS AND I THINK SOMEBODY USED THE WORD SEED MONEY AND KIND OF MHM AND I DON'T KNOW THIS MAY BE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN AN EVENT AND THEN PROGRAMMING. PROGRAMMING SUCH AS LIKE THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY. PROBABLY ANNUALLY NEEDS , YOU KNOW, AN AMOUNT MHM EVENT.

SAY HELLO, TANYA. AH! AN EVENT THAT CRITICALLY. IS NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART, BUT I DON'T KNOW THEY RAISED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR. IS IT JUST THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE THAT DELINEATES WHETHER IT'S NOT OR WELL, WELL EACH YEAR. THEY HAVE TO REAPPLY THAT WHAT I THINK THE QUESTION YOU'RE SAYING THE ISSUE THAT YOU'RE RAISING IS ONE THAT WE DON'T HAVE IN HERE, WHICH IS IT'S NOT BASED ON NEED. IT'S BASED ON THESE CRITERIA IN TERMS OF HOW IT BENEFITS OUR COMMUNITY ECONOMIC ACTIVITY. THAT'S RIGHT SUPPORT BECAUSE I THINK I THINK WE'VE SEEN TO HAVE INDICATED IN OUR SUPPORT MANY TIMES IN THE PAST THAT LATONIA, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT WE WANT TO MAKE THEM WANT TO COME TO OUR COMMUNITY. WE WANTED TO DO AN OUTREACH AND SHOW THAT WE LIKE HAVING THEM HERE. WE GIVE THEM THESE IN KIND SERVICES AT A CERTAIN VALUE. CLEARLY, THEY DON'T NEED IT.

RIGHT AND SO WE HAVEN'T BEEN LOOKING AT NEED FOR A LONG TIME ANYWAY, AND THAT'S WHY I THOUGHT IT WAS TIME TO KIND OF CLEAR THAT OUT OF THERE, SO THE EXPECTATION WITH AS LONG AS THEY'RE MEETING IN CRITERIA WOULD JUST BE INDEFINITE. WELL, THEY HAVE TO REAPPLY EVERY TIME RIGHT? BUT WHY WOULDN'T THEY GET IT NEXT YEAR IF THEY GOT IT THIS YEAR? THE ONLY THING HOW MUCH FUNDING DO WE HAVE? HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE APPLIED? WHAT MIGHT BENEFIT US MORE VERSUS THEM? YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY'RE COMPETING FOR A CERTAIN POOL OF MONEY. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS WOULD PROBABLY PREVENT POTENTIAL. AND DID THEY ACTUALLY MEET THE CRITERIA IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAT WE WERE EXPECTING. CLOSE THAT JUST A COUPLE OF COMMENTS AGAIN. I

[01:45:01]

ESPECIALLY WHEN FUNDING BECOMES LIMITED. SO THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT MAYBE THE TEAM CAN THINK ABOUT. I'M HAPPY TO. I MEAN, IF YOU HAVEN'T LOOKED AT DUBLIN'S APPLICATION, I THINK $0.2 MILLION TAX FUND. IT'S A LITTLE BIT BIGGER THAN OURS. THEY ALSO HAVE 40 HOTELS. YEAH 1000 BUDGET. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT'S THE ANNUAL BUDGET FOR EXPERIENCED COLUMBUS, RIGHT? I MEAN, IT'S TENS OF MILLIONS. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE YOU KNOW, YOU BRING UP DUBLIN, AND THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD ONE TO POINT OUT. SO IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE FUNDING REQUESTS THAT THEY RECEIVED UM, WHICH REALLY SUPPORTS WHY WE CHANGED THE NAME MHM SOCCER TOURNAMENTS. UM YOU KNOW SO MANY DIFFERENT SPORTING EVENTS THEY ACTUALLY GIVE BED TAX MONEY, TOO, BECAUSE IT SUPPORTS BUSINESS, AND IT SUPPORTS THE HOTEL'S MAKES A LOT OF SENSE, RIGHT? WE HAVEN'T REALLY RECEIVED APPLICATIONS FOR THAT YET, BUT I KNOW THAT'S YOU KNOW, THAT'S AN AREA THAT MAY POTENTIALLY COME OUR WAY IN THE FUTURE. SO IF YOU START LOOKING AT THINGS LIKE DUBLIN, YOU GET A BIGGER PICTURE. UM YOU KNOW, DUBLIN IRISH FESTIVAL AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT THEY ACTUALLY USE GRANT MONEY FOR, UM , IT REALLY GOT US ON THE PATH OF WHY WE NEEDED TO CHANGE THIS FROM GRANT AND NONPROFIT FUNDING TO HOTEL MOTEL BED TEXT BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY GOT TO BE THE DRIVING FORCE OUT OF ANY APPLICATION THAT WE LOOK AT. WE I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO START TO CREATE AN EXPECTATION, UH, THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS BASED ON SOCIAL ACTIVITY BUSINESS ENHANCEMENT ACTIVITY, TOURISM ACTIVITY. THAT'S WHAT WE HAD ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT THE HOTEL MOTEL TAX BEING FOR THAT WE DON'T THERE MAY BE A PLACE FOR US TO DO GRANTS FOR OTHER TYPES OF COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, BUT THEY SHOULDN'T BE COMING OUT OF HOTEL MOTEL TAX FUNDS. SO MAYBE TO THE MAYOR'S POINT. MAYBE WE PUT A SENTENCE UP AT THE TOP OF THAT.

THE DESCRIBES THAT A LITTLE BETTER, UM, THAT WE, YOU KNOW, WE THOUGHT WITH THE CRITERIA YES , WE REALLY DO. SPELL THAT OUT NOW YOU KNOW IT DOES BEG THE QUESTION DOES COUNCIL WANT NEED? TO BE A CRITERIA IT NEVER LIKE I SAID IT NEVER HAS BEEN IN THE PAST, AND THAT'S WHY WE DIDN'T HAVE IT THERE. BUT IF I MEAN IF YOU DO DO THAT, THEN YOU ARE GOING TO END UP. I THINK PENALIZING SOME OF OUR LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR THEIR SUCCESS. RIGHT? AND I DON'T YOU KNOW, I AM GOING BACK TO SYMPHONY OVER AND OVER. BUT BECAUSE THREE YEARS AGO I SAT DOWN WITH HEATHER GARDNER. WHEN WE CUT $5000 OUT OF HER BUDGET, AND SHE WAS REALLY QUITE UPSET, AND I TALKED TO HER FOR OVER AN HOUR AND I TOOK ALL THESE NOTES AND THEN COVID HIT AND I PUT IT AWAY FOR A WHILE. AND IT WAS WHY WE WERE DOING THIS TO BEGIN WITH WAS A LOT OF WHAT CAME OUT OF THAT CONVERSATION WAS WE WERE DOING IT BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO DO IT. BUT A LOT OF WHAT CAME OUT OF THAT CONVERSATION WAS INSPIRING TO ME AND SHE WAS SAYING TO US, FOR EXAMPLE, BUT THAT THEY ARE A HUGE ASSET TO OUR COMMUNITY. THEY CHECK A LOT OF THE BUTTONS AND KNOBS THAT WE LOOK AT HERE IN TERMS OF THE THINGS WE THINK WE WANT THIS TO BE. AND YET THEY ALSO HAVE GOTTEN GOOD AT FUNDRAISING. DOES THAT MEAN WE'RE NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THEM ANYMORE? IF THEY WERE IN THE CITY OF COLUMBUS, THEY'D BE GETTING A TON OF MONEY FROM EXPERIENCE COLUMBUS FROM THE CONVENTION OF VISITORS BUREAU, BECAUSE THEY DON'T PERFORM IN DOWNTOWN COLUMBUS.

THEY'RE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY OF THAT. SHOULD WE BE SUPPORTING OUR CULTURAL ARTS? NOT NECESSARILY JUST BASED ON NEED. SO I THINK WE HAD IT OUT OF THE APPLICATION. I THINK I THINK THE QUESTION THE CONCEPT OF USING NEED IS YOU MIGHT GROW SOME OTHER PROGRAMMING. UM AND I HAVE

[01:50:05]

CANCELING OUT AS AN ABSOLUTE, A NEW OR FLEDGLING ORGANIZATION. I SEE IT AS AN ORGANIZATION THAT ISN'T FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE HASN'T BEEN MEETING ITS OWN NEEDS, AND NOW IT'S COMING TO US TO FAILED THEM OUT OF SECTOR NEW SHAKESPEARE GROUP DECIDED THAT THEY WANTED TO START PERFORMING IN NEW ALBANY AND THEY HAD A $5000 BUDGET AND THEY WERE ASKING FOR 2000. THEIR BUDGET TO BE PART OF THE GRID, AND THAT WAS THE PLAN. THAT'S NOT IT. I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS. YOU GUYS THINK THAT'S WHAT THAT MAYBE IT DOES. INCURRED BUDGET DEFICIT PRIOR TO APPLICATION. SO I'M FEELING OUT FEELING ORGANIZATION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO COME TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GRAND NEXT TIME. I CAN SEE THAT. UNDERSTAND THAT FINANCE FINANCE DIRECTOR. DO YOU THINK THAT THAT TERMINOLOGY WOULD PROVIDE HER EXAMPLE? I THINK THAT, UM ONE THAT IS A NEW ORGANIZATION IF THEY ARE COMING TO YOU WITH THE IDEA AND THEY WILL NOT BE DOING THAT IDEA UNLESS THEY GET THE FUNDING. I THINK THAT WOULD NOT PRECLUDE THAT ORGANIZATION BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT INCURRED IN ALREADY PLANNED SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN'T AFFORD. OKAY, SO I THINK THAT THAT WAY THEY'RE RIDING IN THE RED ALREADY. THEY WANT TO DO SOMETHING NEW AND I DON'T HOLD PROBLEMS BEFORE YOU'RE YOU'RE ASKING FOR MORE TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE NOBODY COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE YEAH, THAT IS GREENHOUSE SAYS THEY RUN IN THE THEY RUN A DEFICIT ALL THE TIME. THE SHOWS THEY PUT ON THE TICKETS. THEY DON'T RECOUP, AND I THINK THAT BOARD MEMBERS IN THE KNOW HOW THEY SAW IT AT THE END THE ROUTE CHECK OR DO WHATEVER BUT I WOULD IMAGINE A GROUP LIKE THAT, PROBABLY IF THEIR FINANCIALS DO LOOK LIKE THEY ARE. RUNNING AT A DEFICIT. MAYBE WE DON'T. DO WE NOT WANT THAT IN THE ABSOLUTE DEBT CUTS YOU OUT OF THE PROGRAM. WE WANT THAT. INSTEAD IN CRITERIA THAT WE LOOK AT, BUT NOT IN A THAT CUTS YOU HAVE COMPLETELY YOU COULD CALL IT THAT. YEAH I THINK IT SHOULD BE AT LEAST EXAMINED. YEAH ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS IT IS AND IN THAT PARTICULAR CASE, UM WE DID PROVIDE THEM WITH GRANT MONEY AND THE PREVIOUS YEAR IN COVID HEAD. UNFORTUNATELY IN THAT TYPE OF BUSINESS COVID HITS YOU CAN'T DO YOUR PLACE. IT WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THAT, AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THOSE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WERE COMMITTEE RECOGNIZED AND AS A COUNCIL AND STILL WENT AHEAD AND FUNDED THEM BECAUSE THEN WE SHOULD TAKE IT OUT WELL, BUT I THINK IT'S STILL IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER. I THINK IT SHOULD BE. I THINK IT SHOULD BE, UH FACTOR , BUT NOT A CRITERIA. I THINK THAT. I THINK THAT YOUR EXAMPLE OF THE PLAYHOUSE THAT YOU KNOW THE BOARD OR THE FUND FOUNDING MEMBERS OR WHATEVER. MAKE THINGS WHOLE. AT THE END OF THE YEAR. THEY MAY RUN A DEFICIT THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE YEAR, BUT WHEN THEY CLOSE THEIR BOOKS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BALANCE OUT AND THEY CAN'T RUN A SUSTAINED NEGATIVE BALANCE WITHOUT GETTING WHOLE YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR, AND I THINK THAT'S THAT'S JUST NOT SUSTAINABLE, SO I THINK THOSE KIND OF SITUATIONS ARE PROBABLY AGAIN. ON WHAT IT IS. IT'S JUST HARD TO SEE AN ORGANIZATION GOING ON 23 YEARS RUNNING IN THE RED AND STILL STRONG STEWARDS OF THE RESIDENTS MONEY. I ALMOST THINK WE NEED TO HAVE THAT IN THERE BECAUSE WE NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT STATES IF YOU ARE FISCALLY IRRESPONSIBLE, UM, NEED NOT APPLY HERE OVER A YEAR. THE NEED NOT APPLY. CASEY I THINK IN

[01:55:07]

SUGGESTION TO THE GREAT APPLICANTS THAT IT'S CAPPED AT 10,000. YEAH. OKAY IT'S NOT IN THIS PARTICULAR WASN'T LANGUAGE JUST MEANS WE NEED TO HAVE IT BACK. IT IS RIGHT HERE IN THE APPLICATION. I'M SORRY. FIRST PAGE FUNDING IS GENERALLY LIMITED TO 10,000% CRITERIA. GOT IT APPLICATION. I DON'T THINK YOU NEED BOTH PLACES. ALRIGHT. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. THIS LOOKS REALLY GOOD. AND THERE'S ONE OTHER THING THAT WE WANTED TO RUN BY YOU GUYS AND TALKING TO THE NONPROFITS. WE REALIZED THAT SOMEHOW WE'RE ON A VERY WRONG CALENDAR. WE'RE ASKING PEOPLE TO APPLY AND JANUARY 23 FOR MONEY FOR 23. AND THEY'VE SET UP THEIR BUDGETS MONTHS BEFORE THAT, SO WE DON'T WANT THEM TO LOSE A YEAR. SO WE FEEL LIKE THIS YEAR WE HAVE TO STILL DO THIS JANUARY OF 23 APPLICATION PROCESS FOR 23, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO WITH EVERYONE'S PERMISSION. WE WOULD LIKE TO DO APPLICATIONS FOR 24 IN THE SPRING OF 23 GIVE THEM DECISIONS IN THE SUMMER OF 23. FOR THEIR BUDGETS. 24. DOES THAT CREATE ANY ISSUES, BETHANY AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, IS THAT SOMETHING? YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO ? THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD SAY IS, YOU KNOW WE DO ESTABLISH THE GRANT LIMIT DURING OUR BUDGET SEASON AS FAR AS HOW MUCH MONEY WE'RE PUTTING TOWARDS THE PROGRAM, THE POOL OF MONEY AND THAT'S BASED OFF OF THE CURRENT YEAR RECEIPTS. WE HAVE HISTORICALLY NOT SPENT CLOSE TO WHAT WE COLLECT IN THE HOTEL.

TAX UM SO THAT IS SOMETHING WHERE THERE MAY BE. YOU KNOW, I COULD CRUNCH SOME NUMBERS BEFOREHAND AND DO SOME PROJECTIONS THAT ARE BUDGETARY PROJECTIONS FOR YOU BEFORE YOU END UP, SO WHEN WE DO THOSE WHEN WE DO 23, THOUGH, WE'RE DOING IT IN JANUARY, SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT 23 IS GOING TO BE AT YOUR USING. 22 IS MONEY, RIGHT? WE ARE USING 22 IS MONEY. CAN WE KEEP THE APPLICATIONS OUT IN OCTOBER? WELL. WELL I THINK WHAT BETHENNY SAYING IS, WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WE CAN GIVE AWAY THAT EARLY IN THE YEAR IF YOU WANTED TO BASE IF YOU WANTED TO BASE IT OFF OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S COLLECTIONS, WE COULD, UH , START DOING THAT. AND I COULD DO AN ANALYSIS OF MY SUGGESTION WHERE WE ARE. I HAVE THAT HISTORICAL INFORMATION OF YEAR OVER YEAR HOW MUCH WE'VE SPENT, OR WE COULD JUST DECIDE THAT. GENERAL FINALS WOULD BE ABOUT THIS TIME BETHANY NEXT YEAR WITH THE COMMITTEE WOULD MEET AND MAKE THOSE DECISIONS. SO IT KIND OF AUGUST SEPTEMBER TIME FRAME BECAUSE BY THAT TIME WE WOULD HAVE ALL THE APPLICATIONS, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO DO IT SOONER THAN THAT. WE SEND IT OUT. I'M TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE RECEIVE ALL THE APPLICATIONS BACK. YEAH AND I THINK ONLY THAN THAT, YEAH , SO AGAIN, I'M GOING BACK TO THE EXAMPLE. BUT THE SYMPHONIES UH FISCAL YEAR IS JULY 31ST OR AUGUST 1ST OF JULY. 31ST AND,

[02:00:02]

THANK YOU FOR THIS ONE. YOU KNOW YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY FIRST YEAR. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. OKAY SO MAYBE THIS IS A QUESTION FOR JOE. THEN, UM THIS IS PROPOSED. WE DON'T NEED TO VOTE ON THIS. IS THIS SOMETHING OR DO WE NEED TO VOTE ON THE PROPOSED CHANGES FOR THIS? YES, IT'S SEEKING CLARIFICATION. MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE THAT YOU MAKE A MOTION AND ADOPT THE UPDATED, UM OKAY, TELL MOTEL, OKAY? COMFORTABLE WITH THE INFORMAL. AT ITS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED OR DO YOU WANT TO SEE A FORMAL NEW VERSION CONDITIONAL, CONDITIONAL ONE DEAL TO DOUBT. COMFORTABLE OF PRESENTS WITH MAYBE THE INCLUSION OF A PURPOSE STATEMENT IS SLOWLY MENTIONED AND NOT TO THROW A MONKEY WRENCH INTO THIS, BUT YOU KNOW, IN OUR ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA. INSTRUCTIONS THERE'S A PARAGRAPH THAT TALKS ABOUT ABILITY TO SUSPEND TERMINATE PROGRAM. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW OUR LEGAL COUNSELS LOOKED AT THAT TO APPRECIATE, YOU KNOW AGAIN IF THERE'S A SEVERE DECLINE IN BUDGETS AND OR THE HOTEL TAX DOESN'T RISE TO THE LEVEL THAT WE HAVE COMMITTED. IS THAT SUFFICIENT? DO WE HAVE SUFFICIENT LANGUAGE IN THERE TO PERMIT US TO NOT FUND THE ORGANIZATION. WE USE LANGUAGE LIKE WOULD HONOR ANY FORMAL FUNDING WILL THERE'S A LOT OF WORDS THERE TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY MEAN WHAT I THINK IT SAYING THAT IF WE HAVE MADE A COMMITMENT TO THIS YEAR WE'RE GOING TO PAY YOU. PROGRAM MOVING. WE DON'T HAVE TAX REVENUE. IT'S GONNA BE HARD TO FUND SOMETHING. EVEN IF WE MADE A COMMITMENT, WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY. SO I JUST YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE

[02:05:01]

RIGHT, TYPICALLY. $100,000 AGAIN. CAN'T IMAGINE THAT, YOU KNOW. AND I'M USING. I'M JOKING ABOUT THE PANDEMIC, BUT WE JUST WENT THROUGH IT, SO I MEAN IT COULD HAPPEN. IT'S EASY TO LOOK AT IT ON THE UPSIDE WITH EVERY HOTEL PROBABLY GOING TO BE FILLED WITH CONSTRUCTION WORKERS FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS AND ANOTHER HOTEL COMING ONBOARD EACH CLEARLY WE'RE PROBABLY OTHER THAN A PANDEMIC KIND OF CATASTROPHE, WHICH CAN HAPPEN. AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET MORE AND MORE APPLICATIONS. I THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET TO A POINT WHERE WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO START GIVING MORE MONEY THAN $10,000. LET'S FACE IT AS THE CITY GROWS AND MORE ORGANIZATIONS ARE HERE, AND THERE'S MORE PEOPLE ASKING, SO IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE THIS RIGHT. SO WE DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT ALL THOSE LITTLE PARTS AS THE PROGRAM GROWTH. THAT WAS PART OF THE GOAL OF THIS, BUT I GUESS I'M STILL ASKING THAT QUESTION. ARE YOU SUGGESTING MAYOR THAT THIS SHOULD BE WE WANT TO IS OUR GOAL IN THIS PARAGRAPH TO SAY. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO NOT GIVE YOU THE MONEY IF WE DON'T HAVE IT, OR IS OUR GOAL IN THIS TO SAY IF WE MADE THE COMMITMENT WILL COMMIT, BUT NEXT YEAR. THERE MAY NOT BE A PROGRAM ANYMORE. WHAT DO WHAT DO WE WANT THAT TO SAY? NO I'M NOT SAYING I KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER. I'M SAYING, I THINK WE NEED TO DECIDE THAT IF THAT'S IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT PARAGRAPH TO ENDURE POINTS LAND. IF THERE IS A PANDEMIC. AND THERE IS NOBODY IN HOTELS. A LOT OF THESE EVENTS THAT APPLY TO HAPPEN THAT YEAR ANYWAY, SO THE DEMAND FOR THE FUNDING IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE AND IN THE POINT IN CONCURRENCE WITH THE BED TAXIWAY. 20 AS WELL . BUT WE WOULD HAVE PROMISED THAT ALREADY. YEAH THE EVENT WON'T PROMISE THAT ANYTHING THAT WE WON'T BE GIVING IT TO 20. AND KEEP IN MIND THAT IT SAYS THAT THEY'LL HAVE TO PRODUCE THE PAPERWORK AND FORMS THAT SHOW THAT THEY AND RECEIPTS, ETCETERA . WE'RE NOT JUST GONNA OF HAVING LIKE YOU SAID, LIKE THE PREVIOUS YEAR. WE LIKE, TAKE THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S BED TAX MONEY AND PUT IT IN LIKE A STATE MUSIC COUNT, TAKING BACK AND THEN, LIKE, USE THAT AND LIKE, ONLY HAVE THAT SO WE KNOW THAT'S A WHOLE AGAIN. THAT'S THAT'S ANOTHER TOPIC THAT WE NEED TO GET TO WHICH IS. WHAT DO WE DO WITH BED TAX MONEY THAT WE YOU DON'T END UP USING FOR THIS GRANT PROGRAM, AND THAT'S I THINK. PHASE TWO OF DISCUSSION THAT I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE NEXT QUESTION FIRST, BEFORE I MENTIONED THAT I WAS GOING TO ASK THAT QUESTION LATER. YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON WHAT ALONE HAD MENTIONED AND I WAS GOING TO SAY IS, I THINK THE WAY THE LANGUAGE READS NOW IS THAT IF WE COMMIT TO PAYING IT, WE'RE COMMITTED TO PAYING IT. BUT APART FROM THAT THE LANGUAGE GIVES US FLEXIBILITY TO CANCEL. THE PROGRAM THAT HE POINT SO LONG AS IT DOESN'T IMPACT WHAT WE COMMITTED SO DEPENDING UPON WHAT EVERYBODY'S PLEASURE IS WITH THAT, UH, THAT LANGUAGE MEANING TO BE TINKERED OR BUT THEN IT ALSO DOES SAY THAT IF THEY DON'T DO THE PROGRAM THAT WE COMMITTED TO PAYING FOR BECAUSE THEY END UP CANCELING BECAUSE IT'S A PANDEMIC, THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO GIVE THEM THE MONEY. THEY HAVE TO MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS AS WELL. SO LIKE IN A PANDEMIC WHEN THEY CAN'T MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS. OBVIOUSLY EVERYBODY'S OFF THE HOOK. BUT IF THEY NEED THEIR OBLIGATIONS AND WE COMMIT, WE'RE COMMITTED TO IT, OKAY. I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT SHOULD SAY. I'M ASKING EVERYBODY ELSE. I THINK ALONG THAT THAT SAME LINE. I THINK CASEY'S RIGHT. THERE'S A PANDEMIC. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE HAVING TOO MANY GROUPS. LARGE EVENTS, BUT SIMILARLY IF WE GIVE SOMEBODY GRANT MONEY AND THEN THEY DECIDED NOT TO DO THE EVENT. I THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CARVE BACK THAT MONEY FROM THEM IN REALIGNING IT SAYS, OKAY. ABSOLUTELY THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPAY IT BACK TO US. IF THEY DON'T HAVE ANY. I MEAN A GOOD CHUNK OF TIME. GREAT YEAH, THEY'RE NOT. WE'RE NOT USING IT, AND THAT'S OKAY. BUT IF IT'S CASH MONEY IN IN GIVING THE MONEY. THEY DON'T DO IT. I THINK THERE'S A THERE'S A CHALLENGE THERE TO CITY COUNCIL MAY CHOOSE NOT TO DISTRIBUTE PUBLIC FUNDING ASSISTANCE UNTIL AFTER A PROJECT OR EVENT IS COMPLETE. UM THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER PLACES WHERE

[02:10:01]

ALRIGHT I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE HOTEL MOTEL BED TAX GRANT ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA INSTRUCTIONS. THE REQUEST FOR FUNDING AND THE BUDGET INSTRUCTIONS AS PROPOSED IN THE DOCUMENTATION THAT YOU RECEIVED AND FOR TODAY'S MEETING WITH THE CONDITION TO REVIEW AND POSSIBLY ADD A PURPOSE STATEMENT TO THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND INSTRUCTIONS. SECOND. COUNCILMAN MICHELLE YES. YES CANCER MEMBER WILL TRAVEL MAYOR SPAULDING COUNCIL MEMBER DEREK COUNCIL MEMBER FELLOWS. YES YES, YES, FOLKS TO ADOPT THE MOTION, AS PRESENTED BY COUNCIL MEMBER SHELL AND THEN ONE LAST THING FOR EVERYBODY TO CHEW ON. I THOUGHT IT WAS DONE, BUT IT'S NOT. THAT'S PHASE ONE OF OUR GROUP. PHASE TWO. YOU WILL PROBABLY FIND THIS YEAR IN THE APPLICATION PROCESS. THERE MAY BE ONE OR TWO PEOPLE NOW THAT ARE NOT ELIGIBLE. FOR FUNDING AND I THINK IN THOSE PARTICULAR CASES, UM YOU KNOW THERE IS THE CHAMBER, WHICH OFFERS SOME ASSISTANCE THAT FOR SOME THAT MIGHT BE AN AVENUE FOR THEM TO PURSUE. FOR OTHERS. THAT MAY NOT AND IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING FOR US TO CONSIDER. DUBLIN HAS DONE THIS AND SOME OTHER COMMUNITIES.

TO CONSIDER ANOTHER FUNDING SOURCE WITHIN OUR BUDGET FOR MAYBE SOME OF THOSE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT MAYBE DON'T FIT THIS CRITERIA AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT IN THE IN THE FUTURE, BUT I SEE A LOT OF HEAD NODS. I THINK THAT WOULD DEFINITELY BE A GOOD CONVERSATION. KIND OF THE PHASE TWO PART OF THIS DISCUSSION. WE'LL KNOW MORE IN JANUARY WHEN WE RECEIVED THE APPLICATIONS. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU, RIGHT. CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE COMMITTEE'S WORK ON THIS JUST TO CIRCLE BACK ON 11 POINT. I THINK I THINK IT WAS MY FAULT AND SUGGESTED SOME YEARS AGO THAT WE TREAT THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SEED MONEY TO CREATE NEW EVENTS.

BUT I THINK AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND APPRECIATED THE QUALITY OF EVENTS THAT HAVE COME INTO AUDIBLY AND THE EVENTS THAT WE WANT TO SUPPORT MOVING FORWARD.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT CONCEPT STILL FITS, SO I WILL WITHDRAW THAT FROM THE TABLE AND WE DON'T NEED TO MENTION IT AGAIN. THANK YOU, MARK. THANK YOU. YOUR NAME FROM ALIGNMENT WITH RIGHT? THE CONCEPT SLOTTED FIRST, I REALLY DID. BUT AS WE BEGAN FROM A PRACTICAL STANDPOINT, LOOKING AT THAT ISSUE CAME UP STARTED THE QUESTION TWICE. YEAH IT WAS A TOUGH ONE. I MEAN AGAIN. I RENEWAL ON THIS A LOT. AND YOU GUYS DIDN'T REALLY GREAT JOB IN COMING UP WITH A GOOD SOLUTION. THANK YOU ALL RIGHT. ANY ADDITIONAL I CAN'T REMEMBER. WE CALL THIS THING. STANDING COMMITTEE REPORTS TO BE MADE TONIGHT. ALRIGHT THAT TAKES US

AND AGAIN, MORRISSEY IS WORKING ON A FRAMEWORK TO HELP MUNICIPALITIES ACHIEVED THAT DESIGNATION. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TRAIL PASSING THROUGH THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE'RE WE'RE ON THE FRINGE OF SOME OF THESE REGIONAL TRAILS, BUT I THINK IT'S POSSIBLE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT TO THAT AND ACHIEVE THAT DESIGNATION.

I THINK THERE ARE 600 DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF OHIO AND WE WERE ONE OF 12 GOT THAT RECOGNITION. IN CENTRAL OHIO. IT WAS JUST UPPER ARLINGTON AND ALEXANDRIA SCHOOL DISTRICT.

[14. REPORTS OF CITY OFFICIALS:]

BUT THE DOOR WILL BE OPEN, RIGHT? COME ON. WHAT ARE THE WHAT ARE THE TIMES AGAIN FOR THE DORA DORA IS IN EFFECT 5 10 THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAYS. UH, AND BUSINESSES CANNOT SELL DOOR BEVERAGES OUTSIDE OF THOSE ESTABLISHED TYPE PRINTS HAVE ENOUGH COPS. WE DO. WE ARE GOOD WITH CUPS RIGHT NOW, SO AND THIS KIND OF JOKING, BUT SO IF I BUY, UH FROM A VENDOR AT OCTOBERFEST.

ARE THEY GOING TO BE SUPPLIED WITH CUPS? TO TRAVEL AROUND THROUGH THE DOOR THAT IS UP TO EACH VENDOR, EACH EVENT ORGANIZER. I DO NOT. DO YOU KNOW IF THEY'VE OUTDOOR CUPS BECAUSE WE DID EXTEND THE DOOR TO INCLUDE THE SPECIFIC SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT SPACE, BUT THEN WE MIGHT HAVE FORGOTTEN TO TELL THEM WELL, NO, WE'VE THE ORGANIZERS. NO, IT'S REALLY THERE ARE I THINK WE'VE BEEN SURPRISED. THERE ARE MORE REASONS THAT EVENT ORGANIZERS HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DORA THAN WHAT WE EXPECTED. UM AND SO I GET THAT WELL, WE CAN CHECK WITH THEM AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW THEY HAVE THAT OPTION. WELL MATT RIGHT UP A GOOD POINT. WE HAVE FOUR PARTICIPATING VENDORS. SO.W DOG WAS SELLING BEER AT THE OKTOBERFEST IN THAT AREA, THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET A DOOR CUP AND TRANSPORT WITHIN THE DOOR.

BUT IF YOU WERE BUYING BEER FROM SOME OTHER VENDOR WHO IS NOT IN NEW ALBANY. PROBABLY CAN'T USE THE DOOR CUP, RIGHT? IT DEPENDS IF THEY'RE IN THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET A LICENSE DEPENDS ON THE LICENSE. AND SO THE STATE IF YOU GET YOUR IT'S BEEN A FEW MONTHS SINCE WE'VE HAD TO UNRAVEL ALL THIS ESSENTIALLY THE STATE IF YOU GET THAT LICENSE THAT PERMIT OF TWO THEY TREAT THAT AS ANOTHER ESTABLISHMENT. ADORE ESTABLISHMENT AND SO THE KIND OF THE BOUNDARIES APPLY, SO IT'S IN AN EVENT INTEREST TO JUST PUT THEIR PERMIT. LIKE BASICALLY AROUND WHERE THE BEER TRUCKS WILL BE. THEN YOU CAN TAKE YOUR DOOR, A DRUG DORA CUP IN AND OUT OF THOSE DIFFERENT AREAS IF THEY MADE ALL OF, UM LIKE. FOR EXAMPLE, MARKET SQUARE ADORA IN THEIR F TWO PERMITS, THEY WOULD SEE THAT AS ONE ESTABLISHMENT AND YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BASICALLY LEAVE THE BOUNDARIES OF HUDSON 29 YOUR DRINK BECAUSE YOU WOULD BE ENTERING ANOTHER ESTABLISHMENT.

[02:30:04]

SINCE THE DOOR HAS BEEN IN EFFECT, WE PROBABLY NEED TO GET SOME MORE INFORMATION. AND UNDERSTAND THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER. OKAY I JUST CAN'T. IT'S GOOD. YEAH LEARNING CURVE. I UNDERSTAND THAT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T FALL INTO A SITUATION WHERE WE NEEDED TO PROVIDE SOMETHING FOR THAT PARTICULAR LIQUOR LICENSE. THAT'S NOT PROVIDED BECAUSE WE'RE ASSUMING IT WAS PART OF THE DORA YEAH, WE'LL CHECK AND WE'LL MAKE SURE AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE ENFORCEMENT KNOWS THAT AS WELL. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS A COMPLICATED SO RIGHT AND RIGHT NOW WITH THE EMPATHY FOR ADRIAN , THE DEAL IS IF THE EVENT ORGANIZER IN THE MPA THEATER PERMITS YOU CAN BRING YOUR DOOR CUP IN. IS THAT RIGHT? WE'VE LEFT THAT DECISION UP TO THE EVENT ORGANIZERS WHETHER THEY WANT TO HAVE SO, OUR DOOR A RULES ALLOW YOU TO BRING A DOOR CUP INTO THE AMPHITHEATER. BUT WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF THE AMPUTATE ER, THAT NIGHT GETS DECIDED. YOU COME IN WITH AND I THINK IT'S YOU KNOW IT. DEPENDS ON HOW THEY KIND OF SET UP THE EVENT. RIGHT ADORE CUP NUT ADORE SIX PACK WAS STOLE MY JOKE REMINDER. CAN YOU DO SIXTH OR COPS? SIX CUP CARRY AND I GUESS JUST MY TWO CENTS FOR EVENTS LIKE THIS, UH, YOU KNOW, EVEN TASTED NEW ALBANY. YOU KNOW THESE. FESTIVALS WHICH I THINK ARE GOING TO BE THE PRIMARY TIME THAT THE DOOR GETS UTILIZED. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE GIVING THE VENDORS THAT ARE GONNA BE THERE AND OPTIONS. WHETHER THEY WANT TO BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT INCENTIVIZED TO USE FEDORA IF THEY HAVE TO. THERE'S ANOTHER STEP. AND THEY COULD JUST SAY, WELL, I'M JUST GOING TO SELL MY REGULATOR. YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO GET THAT PARTICULAR LICENSE OR HAVE THIS SOUTHEAST CUPS. I AGREE. WE SHOULD BE REQUIRING THEM AND WHATEVER EVENT ORGANIZERS SO WE ACTUALLY USED THE DOOR. THEY WANT TO BE IN THE EVENT. THEY GOT TO COMPLY WITH OUR DOOR PERIOD. AND IN THAT WAY, WE DON'T HAVE TO LIKE YOU, SAID POLICE FESTIVAL CITY OF WHAT COUPLE? YOU'RE GONNA SELL DOOR CUP AT THIS, YOU KNOW , BEER TENT, BUT THE NEXT ONE DOESN'T HAVE IT. RIGHT? YEAH I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY AFTER, UM THIS EVENT SEASON. THE TIME WILL BE RIGHT TO HAVE A KIND OF DORA.

FEEDBACK SESSION. YEAH, I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT SIGNAGE WITH ALL OF YOU AND SEE WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING. HAS IT BEEN SUCCESSFUL OR NOT? IS IT TOO MUCH COULD BE DIAL IT BACK A LITTLE BIT. I THINK WE'VE LEARNED A LOT LIKE YOU KNOW, IN THE SPRING, WE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT THESE UP TO PERMITS AND HOW THEY INTERACT WITH THE DORA SO THERE'S PROBABLY A LOT TO BRING UP AND OCTOBER FEST WILL BE A GOOD UM OPPORTUNITY FOR US BECAUSE IT'S IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION. IT WILL BRING UP ITS OWN HOST OF CONSIDERATIONS. SO A LOT OF DRUNKS THAT'S THE NATURE OF THE EVENT, RIGHT? UM MAKE SURE TO PUT AN AGENDA ITEM ON A FUTURE AGENDA JUST TO KIND OF DEBRIEFING. GET YOUR FEEDBACK AND DIRECTION WHAT YOU WANT TO DO US TO DO NEXT YEAR WITH IT, OKAY? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TO START WEARING ANYTHING ELSE TO PUT

[02:35:04]

UM THE NEXT PAGE. OUR. FUND DETAIL AND, UM, TO ANTICIPATE A QUESTION ON THE TIP FUNDS. WE HAVE RECEDED OUR SECOND HALF SETTLEMENTS, SO WHILE THERE ARE SOME FUNDS THAT HAVE A NEGATIVE NET CHANGE THAT IS PRIMARILY DUE TO MAKING DEBT PAYMENTS THAT TRANSFERS THAT ARE GREATER THAN THE RECEIPTS IN THIS YEAR BUT ALSO IS ABLE TO BE SUPPORTED BY THE EXISTING BALANCE THAT WE HAVE SO THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT. EACH YEAR TO DETERMINE UM, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY THOSE RESIDENTIAL TIPS. UM, WHERE HOW MUCH OF THE DEBT PAYMENT IS GOING TO COME OUT OF EACH RESIDENTIAL TECH FURROWS RHYME? UM THE DEBT SERVICE FUND. HOWEVER IT DOES HAVE A BALANCE IN THERE ABOUT THREE MILLION. WE HAVE DEBT PAYMENTS THAT ARE COMING UP IN NOVEMBER DECEMBER SO THAT BALANCE WILL GO DOWN TO THE PREVIOUS BALANCE. HMM. AND I THINK THAT IS OFF FOR THAT PARTICULAR PAGE. THE THIRD PAGES ARE INVESTMENTS, THE DETAIL. WE HAVE OUR, UM INVESTMENT MANAGERS PRETTY BUSY AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT ALLOCATION OF FUNDS. SOMETHING THAT I DID LOOK AT TODAY BECAUSE I WAS CURIOUS OUR STAR, OHIO ACCOUNT THE RACE AT 8 31 WAS 2.38. TODAY. IT'S 2.45% THE LAST TIME IT WAS JUST PICKED A RANDOM DAY THAT LOOKED AT A DIFFERENT CURVE. 6 30 2019 . IT WAS AT 2.49, SO IT'S TAKENK TO WHERE WE WERE PREVIOUSLY. SO NOW IT SEEMS THAT KEEPING
