          APPLICATIONS ARE GOING TO BE DO I BELIEVE OCTOBER 31ST. SO UM, WE'VE GOT SOME TEACHERS OVER THERE. THEY'RE GONNA ROLL IT OUT. UM, I'VE GOT THE BACKGROUND AND THE APPLICATION THAT THE STUDENTS GOING TO HAVE. IT'S GOING TO BE MANAGED BY INNA IN HOUSE, SO IT'LL BE GREAT. SHE'S GOING TO KEEP TRACK OF EVERYTHING. UM, IT'S NOT DISSIMILAR FROM THE GRANT APPLICATION THAT WE DO FOR OUR GRANT FUNDING FOR THE HOTEL. SO, UH, I CAN'T THANKS, STAFF, ADRIAN AND ENOUGH. FOR ALL RIGHT . I MEAN, TAKING THIS ON. THIS WAS KIND OF AN IDEA THAT GOT THROWN OUT DURING THE BOARD MEETING AND NOW IT'S LIKE A REAL THING AND REAL STUDENTS ACROSS THE STREET ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO KIND OF THROW THEIR IDEAS OUT AND GET FUNDED FOR IT. AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT SOME OF THE APPLICATIONS COME BACK WITH SO AND AS A REMINDER. THIS IS IN A WE'VE GOT EXIT DOLLARS, AND WE'RE GONNA GIVE OUT X DOLLARS. THIS IS IF IT'S GOOD, WE'LL FUND IT. IF IT'S NOT GOOD, THEN YOU KNOW WE MAY NOT FUNDING BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE VARYING SIZES. IT COULD BE A $200 ASK. IT COULD BE A $2000 ASK, BUT, UM BUT SO IF ANYBODY WANTS TO TAKE A LOOK AT I'VE GOT THIS. CAN YOU SEE HOW MUCH IS THAT IF YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WAS THE GRANT THAT WORTHINGTON RECEIVED? UH FOR THAT CURBSIDE ARLINGTON, IRELAND , AND IT WAS ACTUALLY IT WASN'T FROM WACO. IT WAS FROM THE U. S. D A. LIKE IT WAS LIKE A IT WAS A FEDERAL GRANT. UM. I DON'T KNOW . IF THEY HAVE IT. I'LL SELL MY HEAD. OKAY? UM AND FOR EXAMPLE, I THINK THEY HAVE AROUND 1000 FOLKS IN THE PROGRAM. IN WITHOUT THE GRANT. CURRENTLY IT WOULD BE $10. A PERSON. TO BE, UM, MONTHLY TO BE A PART OF IT, SO OKAY, IT'S A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL CRANE THEY HAD. YEAH, WE GET THAT. THANKS. OTHER QUESTIONS. LET'S JUST GAME, OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. AH MOVING ON TO IDEA IMPLEMENTATION PANEL COUNCILWOMAN. WELL TRUMP. YES WE HAD A MEETING ON AUGUST, 10TH HAD A ROBUST DISCUSSION ABOUT PRIORITIES FOR NEXT YEAR. MUCH LIKE SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE. 
          WE HAD A LONG UPDATE OF ALL THE AMAZING PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN, UM SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTED THIS FAR. UM AND WE TALKED ABOUT UPCOMING EVENTS, WHICH IS THE ALBANY ONE ON ONE AT TAYLOR FARM AND OUR DIWALI CELEBRATION, WHICH IS COMING UP. WE DON'T HAVE A DATE FOR DIWALI YET. WHAT IS THE DATE FOR? NOBODY? WHAT I WANT IS IT OCTOBER 10TH OCTOBER 5TH OCTOBER 5TH. IT WAS SO CLOSE. UM AND THEN WE TALKED ABOUT PRIORITIES FOR 2024. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AMBASSADOR PROGRAM GETTING OFF WHICH I'M REALLY, REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE WELCOME WAGON PROGRAM AND MAYBE TARGETING A COUPLE OF COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE EXCITED TO JUST GET THE BALL ROLLING ON THAT. UM WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING MORE OF THE NEW ALREADY ONE ON ONE PROGRAMMING. 
          PEOPLE REALLY ENJOYED THE BUSINESS PARK TOUR. THERE REALLY ENJOYED THE TIME THAT THEY HAD TO COME AND MEET CITY OFFICIALS WE TALKED ABOUT MAYBE HAVING A PANCAKE BREAKFAST, UM, TO HAVE AN EVENT ON THE WEEKEND THAT MAY BE MORE PEOPLE COULD COME MAYBE MORE GEARED TOWARDS FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN TO BE ABLE TO COME ON THOSE DATES AND WE TALKED ABOUT UPCOMING EVENTS. I THINK THERE IS A STRONG DESIRE TO KEEP UP WITH THE JUNETEENTH EVENT AMONGST THE BOARD, WHICH OBVIOUSLY WE WILL DISCUSS WITH RESPECT TO FUNDING. UM AND WE HOPE THAT WE WILL BE A SUCCESS AND ALSO THE FAMILY FUN DAY AS WELL. UM AND I THINK WE'RE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT OTHER EVENTS ARE CONTINUING. UM BUT IT WAS A IT WAS A GOOD TIME TO KIND OF CHECK IN AND TAKE STOCK OVER EVERYTHING AND WHERE WE WANT TO GO. ANY ADDITIONAL TALK ABOUT JUST DOING ONE EVENT LIKE A CULTURAL YEAH. CONNECTS US EVENT THERE WAS. I THINK THAT HAS BEEN THE REAL. THAT'S REALLY THE CRUX OF THE ISSUE. AND I THINK THAT'S DISCUSSIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADE WITH THE PANEL AND ALSO WITH COUNCIL. UM BUT I THINK THAT THE GENERAL CONSENSUS OF THE FOCUS GROUP MEMBERS IS THAT THE SMALLER EVENTS ARE ACTUALLY MORE MEANINGFUL. THEY'RE EASIER TO EXECUTE. UM AND, UM YOU KNOW IF THERE. IF IT'S SUCCESS, THEN YOU KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN YOU KNOW, HAVE GOING FORWARD . MAYBE WE CAN TRY TO GET YOU KNOW SOME PARTNERSHIPS SO THEY CAN BE ONGOING. SO NOT THE CITY IS NOT ALWAYS FUNDING IT. THANK YOU. BUT I WILL SAY ONE OF THE WE DID TALK ABOUT THE DESIRE TO 
          [00:10:05]
HAVE LIKE A LARGER COMMUNITY, UM , OR GROUP THAT WASN'T JUST SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON A HOLIDAY. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS SUPER SUPPER IDEA, UM, WAS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD MAYBE EXECUTE AND, UM, KI ONE. LIKE LIKE FEBRUARY WHERE, UM, EVERYBODY COULD KIND OF COME TOGETHER AND ENJOY. MEALS FROM ALL CULTURES ALL OVER THE WORLD . UM AND YOU KNOW, THERE WAS APPARENTLY HEALTHY NEW ALBANY HAS THIS GREAT BOWLS PROGRAM WHERE YOU DESIGN A BOWL, AND THEN YOU TAKE THE BALL AND THEN YOU HAVE THE SOUP IN THE BOWL AND EVERYBODY. I'VE GOTTEN SO MANY PICTURES OF BOWLS SINCE THAT MEETING. EVERYBODY LOVES THEIR BOWLS. SO UM, YOU KNOW THE IDEA TO HAVE A MAJOR CULTURAL EVENT HAS NOT BEEN REJECTED. IT'S JUST IT'S WORKING SO FAR. 
          UM AND WE NEED TO HAVE MORE DISCUSSIONS. I BELIEVE I READ THAT THE HEIGHT CENTER IS DOING A CULTURAL EVENTS. HE WAS THE HEIGHT CENTER WHERE DIFFERENT DANCE GROUPS ARE COMING IN FOR YES. WELL THERE WAS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THERE WAS A DANCE FESTIVAL HERE OVER AT THE AFTER THEATER THROUGH THROUGH AN ORGANIZATION THAT DOES DANCE AS RECREATION. ADULTS THAT DO DANCES. THAT BUNCH OF THOSE. I DID GO TO THAT. OKAY, SO THAT WEEKEND THEY HAD LIKE A CULTURAL MULTICULTURAL VERSION OF IT ON SUNDAY. I WENT TO FRIDAY NIGHT. OKAY, MAYBE THAT'S IT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE SAME ONE. BUT I'M WONDERING IF THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN IT. AND THAT ACTUALLY REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING ELSE WE TALKED ABOUT, WHICH IS TARGETING SEEING WHAT OTHER GROUPS ARE ALREADY DOING CULTURAL EVENTS IN THE COMMUNITY AND HAVING THE IDEA PANEL, UM, SORT OF ADVERTISE THAT AND MAYBE AMPLIFY LIKE THE, UM, THE BLACK HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ASSOCIATION BECAUSE OF GREAT PERFORMANCE FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. UM MAYBE WE , YOU KNOW, GET PEOPLE TO GO TO THAT RATHER THAN PUT ON OUR OWN , UM, OUR OWN DEAL THAT THE DANCE, UM, PROGRAM WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WAS DISCUSSED AS AN EXAMPLE THAT THE CITY COULD COME ACROSS RECENTLY. I'LL FIND I THINK I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY COMING UP. DO YOU THINK THERE IS THERE IS I THINK THERE'S A DIFFERENT ONE THAT IS ONE OF THE DISCUSSIONS WITH DEFINITELY HAD THE PANEL. IT'S LIKE WE'VE GOT TO GET THE WORD OUT TO MORE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY TO LET US KNOW SO THAT WE CAN HELP SUPPORT WHAT THEY'RE ALREADY DOING THAT WAY. WE DON'T RECREATE THAT WE ALL THE WAY WE YOU KNOW, WE'RE MORE LIKE A NOTE OF THAT, JOSH. HOW DO WE GET THE MESSAGE OUT THAT IF THEY'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING, LET US KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT SO WE CAN HELP THEM. AND MAYBE THE IDEA OF PANEL CAN BE SUPPORTIVE. MAYBE VOLUNTEERS. MAYBE. YEAH. I SHOULD MISSING THEM OURSELVES. 
          YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. OKAY MOVING ON CEMETERY RESTORATION ADVISORY BOARD CLERK MASON NO MEETING. PUBLIC RECORDS COMMISSION. THAT WOULD BE MAYOR SPAULDING. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY WAS GIVEN ANY NOTES FROM HIM, SO ALSO NO MEETING. WE'LL SAY NO UPDATE FOR SURE THAT'S

CODIFIED ORDINANCES AS REQUESTED BY THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY AND MR MAYOR, I BELIEVE IS PRESENTING. THANK YOU. SO BASED ON SEVERAL RECENT VARIANTS REQUEST TO ALLOW FOR ELECTRONIC MENU BOARDS SIGNAGE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION AND COUNCIL DIRECTED STAFF TO INITIATE A CODE UPDATE TO THE CITY SIGN CODE. SO ON THE SLIDE UP HERE, WHAT'S IN WHITE IS THE EXISTING SIGN CODE FOR DRIVE THRU MENU BOARDS, AND WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED TONIGHT IS IN RED. SO THIS ORDINANCE PERMITS DIGITAL DIGITAL MENU BOARDS, SIGNS FOR DRIVE THROUGHS , AND IT ESTABLISHES THESE ADDITIONAL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS SHOWN IN RED UP HERE. SO THESE REQUIREMENTS MATCH THAT PLANNING COMMISSION'S REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS THAT WERE PLACED ON THESE PREVIOUS VARIANCES THAT I MENTIONED AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS CODE UPDATES, 50 AND JULY OF THIS YEAR. AND STEPS HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL. BEFORE I OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY I WILL NOW OPENLY PUBLIC HEARING WOULD ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ORDINANCE? GOOD I WILL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CAN I ASK ONE QUESTION BEFORE WE WELL, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE COUNCIL WOULD BE NEXT. SO PERFECT. GO FOR IT, STEPHEN QUESTION SO I KNOW. THAT THIS. I KNOW THIS IS A SPECIAL SIGNS. WHAT HAVE YOU BUT THIS WOULD APPLY TO ALL SIGNS IN NEW ALBANY. THESE THREE NEW ADDITIONS IF WE APPROVE THIS 
          [00:15:05]
TONIGHT, SO THIS WOULD APPLY JUST TO DRIVE THRU MENU BOARDS, SIGNS JUST TO DRIVE THROUGH. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. AND INTEREST TAKES CARE OF MY NEXT QUESTION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY? AH I ANY ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL, OKAY? THEN I MOVED TO ADAPT ORDINANCE 0 87 2023 2ND. CHICKEN REMEMBER BREAST? YES, YES, MEMBER FELLOWS KISSED ROCHELLE COUNCIL MEMBER WORLD TROUT. YES I HAVE SIX. YES VOTES ORDINANCE 87 2023. OKAY MOVING ON TO ORDINANCE 0 88 2023 AND ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY BY AMENDING THE ZONING MAP TO REZONE 78.16 PLUS REMINDED ACRES OF LAND LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF BABBITT ROAD FROM AGRICULTURAL, AGGIE AND LIMITED GENERAL EMPLOYMENT. LG TO LIMITED GENERAL EMPLOYMENT. L G E FOR AN AREA TO BE KNOWN AS THE BABBITT EAST ZONING DISTRICT , AS REQUESTED BY M B. M B. J HOLDINGS LLC. CARE OF AARON UNDERHILL. MR MAYOR, I BELIEVE YOU'RE PRESENTING AGAIN. THANK YOU. SO THE AREA TO BE REZONED AS HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE HERE, SO BABBITT ROAD IS LOCATED JUST TO THE WEST OF THE REZONING AREA. HERE'S GETTIN PARKWAY OFF TO THE EAST, 1 61 AND SO BEAT ROAD IS JUST OFF TO THE EAST HERE. SO THE REASONING TONIGHT IS TO LG. AND SO IT MATCHES THE SURROUNDING LG DISTRICTS TO THE NORTH AND EAST AND GENERALLY TO THE SOUTH HERE, AND SO IT DOES MATCH THE SAME DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND USES AS THE SURROUNDING L G. E, UM ZONES THERE AND SO AGAIN THE AREA TO BE REZONED AS IN YELLOW HERE AND THEN ANYTHING ELSE IN COLORS WITHIN THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. SO THIS PINKISH PURPLE IN THIS BLUE OR OTHER SURROUNDING LG ZONING DISTRICTS. SO THE PROPOSED USES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING ZONED AREAS TO THE NORTH AND EAST AND THIS ZONING DISTRICT WILL ALLOW FOR MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION DATA CENTER OFFICE WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION AND RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION USES. THIS HAS THE SAME DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AS THE SURROUNDING DISTRICTS. IT HAS A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 65 FT, WHICH ACTUALLY IS MORE STRINGENT THAN THE AREAS TO THE EAST SINCE IT HAS RESIDENTIAL TO THE WEST. 
          AND IT ALSO HAS ENHANCED SETBACKS OF 100 FT TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH PROPERTY LINES AND THEN A 200 FT SETBACK ALONG BABBITT ROAD, AND THIS MATCHES THE ZONING REGULATIONS THAT WERE ESTABLISHED FOR THIS GE DISTRICT . THAT'S ALSO LONG BABBIT TO THE SOUTH OF THIS SITE. SO THIS ZONING TEXT ALSO RESTRICTS ACCESS TO BABBITT ROAD, SO NO VEHICULAR OR TRUCK TRAFFIC, INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION TRUCKS ARE ALLOWED TO ACCESS BABBITT. ROAD ACCESS FROM BABBITT IS ONLY PERMITTED FOR EMERGENCY SERVICE VEHICLES AND AGAIN, THIS MATCHES THE SAME COMMITMENTS AS OTHER ZONING TEXTS ALONG BABBITT ROAD. SO THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE STRATEGIC PLANS. MIXED USE DISTRICT THAT'S IN BROWN HERE. THE INTENT OF THE MIXED USE DISTRICT IS TO HAVE EMPLOYMENT CENTER USES, WHICH IS BEING PROPOSED HERE. THESE COMMERCIAL USES BUT ALLOWED TO RETAIL AND RESIDENTIAL, IF APPROPRIATE, SO THE REZONING SINCE IT ALLOWS FOR COMMERCIAL USES, IT DOES MEET THE LAND USE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE STRATEGIC CLAIM. AND THE CITY'S ROCKY FORK BLACK WITH A CORD AND PLANNING COMMISSION, BOTH REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AND BOTH JUNE AND JULY AND STAFF IS HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL. MM. 
          SO, STEVE, WHEN YOU WHEN YOU SAY RESIDENTIAL, WHAT KIND OF RESIDENTIAL WOULD YOU ENVISION MATCHING THIS STANDARD? SO THE MIXED USE AREA IT'S SINCE IT'S A STRATEGIC PLAN. IT JUST GIVES THE BASIC RESIDENTIAL TYPE USES THAT WE HAVE IN THE REST OF THE CITY. IT DOESN'T SAY RESIDENTIAL HAS TO GO HERE. BUT THE IDEA OF THE NEXT USES STILL HAVE A BASE OF YOUR COMMERCIAL TYPE USES. 
          LIKE YOUR OFFICE AND WHAT YOU SEE THE OFFICE PARK TODAY BUT ALLOW FOR SOME FLEXIBILITY AGAIN , IF APPROPRIATE, BASED ON THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AT THE TIME. SINCE THIS IS ACTING AS AN EXTENSION OF THE NEW ALBANY BUSINESS PART IT DOESN'T HAVE TO DO RESIDENTIAL RETAIL AND SO IT IS APPROPRIATE IN THE MEATS ARE STRATEGIC PLANS, RECOMMENDATIONS SOME LINKING TELL YOU CORRECT. 
          I'M SORRY, COUNTY. NO, NO. THIS IS IN FRANKLIN COUNTY. SO SINGLE FAMILY OR MULTI FAMILY COULD PASS AWAY. BE DEVELOPED ON THEM. WITH THIS ONLY TIME STRATEGIC PLAN CONTEMPLATES THAT, BUT THIS REZONING DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THAT . RIGHT. UNDER THIS REZONING. THERE WOULD BE NO RESIDENTIAL CORRECT ANY RESIDENTIAL AREAS. IN THAT AREA. THUS FAR, THERE AREN'T RULE. WHAT'S THAT? UH NO. 
          [00:20:08]
SO THE ONLY RESIDENTIAL IS WHAT'S EXISTING IN THE UN NXT TOWNSHIP PORTIONS TO THE WEST, NORTH AND SOUTH. SO I GUESS WHAT I'M GETTING AT WE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO BABBITT ROAD. WOULD THAT BE THE CASE IF RESIDENTIAL WAS DEVELOPED ON THIS PARCEL. SO IRREGARDLESS OF RESIDENTIAL THE ZONING SETS UP THAT IT HAS TO PICK ACCESS OFF OF THE NEW BEGAN PARKWAY EXTENSION. AND SO THAT PRELIMINARY ALIGNMENT IS SHOWN HERE, SO THE ACCESS HAS TO BE TAKEN FROM THE STRETCH OF LAND WITHIN HIS OWN DISTRICT. 0% OF COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL SO THERE'S NO RESIDENTIAL ALLOWED ON THIS PART OF THE MIXED JUICE, THOUGH YOU SAID MIXED USE, WHICH COULD YEAH, I'M SORRY IF I CAUSED CONFUSION, SO IT'S IN A MIXED USE FUTURE LAND USE DISTRICTS. BUT THIS FUTURE LAND USE DISTRICT ALLOWS FOR COMMERCIAL USES, AND IT'S JUST COMMERCIAL USES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED HERE TONIGHT. THANK YOU. WE'RE NOT VOTING ON APPROVING ANY KIND OF RESIDENTIAL ALLOWANCE IN THIS AREA. THAT IS JUST SAYING THAT THE STRATEGIC PLAN COULD ALLOW FOR IT IN THIS AREA, BUT WE'RE DOING LIMITED GENERAL EMPLOYMENT. WHICH IS NOT RESIDENTIAL, AND THERE'S NO PENDING RESIDENTIAL APPLICATIONS OR ACTIVE RESIDENTIAL AREAS THAT WOULD BE OFFSET BY A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OUT THERE. THAT IS ALL CORRECT. THANK YOU. I UNDERSTAND THAT. I'M PREPARED TO VOTE. OKAY WELL, HOLD ON. HOLD ON ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL BEFORE I OPEN IT UP TO THE PUBLIC. OKAY WE WILL OPEN UP THE MATTER TO PUBLIC HEARING WITH ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK OR ASK QUESTIONS ON THIS ORDINANCE. GOOD. HEARING NOTHING. I WILL ASK ONE MORE TIME. NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL. AND I WILL MOVE TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 0 87 2023 88. REALLY? AM I READING THE WRONG 10? 88 2023. THANK YOU SECOND. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER BRISK. YES REMEMBER KISS COUNCIL MEMBER WILL TROUT YES. COUNCIL MEMBER SHELL, FELLAS REMEMBER DIRECT? YES, YES, VOTES SHOULD HAVE ORDINANCE 88 2023. OKAY? CONTINUING WITH SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES ORDINANCE 0 89 2023 ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY BY AMENDING THE ZONING MAP TO REZONE 11.4 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES OF LAND, LOCATED GENERALLY AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF BEACH ROAD AND GANTMAN PARKWAY. FROM AGRICULTURAL AGING AND LIMITED GENERAL EMPLOYMENT. LG TO INFILL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT I P U D FOR AN AREA TO BE KNOWN AS GANSON BEACH NORTHEAST ZONING DISTRICT, AS REQUESTED BY M. B J HOLDINGS LLC CARE OF AARON UNDERHILL. AND MR MARY, YOU'RE UP AGAIN. THANK YOU. SO THE AREA BEING REZONED AS OUTLINED IN RIGHT HERE, SO WE HAVE BEACH ROAD TO THE WEST PARKWAY TO THE SOUTH. THIS IS DUBLIN GRANVILLE ROAD, SO 1 61 IS JUST OFF THE TOP OF THE SCREEN HERE. SO THIS ZONING PERMITS OFFICE USES WHICH ARE ALLOWED TODAY AND THE L G PORTIONS AND ALSO ALLOWS FOR A VARIETY OF RETAIL AND PERSONAL SERVICE USES, SUCH AS RESTAURANTS, BOTH WITH WITH WITH AND WITHOUT DRIVE THROUGHS, BANGS, DAYCARES, GAS STATIONS AND HOTELS, AMONG OTHERS. SO THIS REZONING HAS TO FOLLOW THE SAME D GR ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENTS AS OTHER, UM, SUCCESSFUL RETAIL USES WITHIN THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY, BUT ALSO HAS THE SAME SETBACKS AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT MATCH OTHER RETAIL ZONES SUCH AS THE TRUST CORN, LONG 62 AND AREAS NORTH OF 1 61. SO THIS INCLUDES ROOFTOP SCREENING OF MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT, A MAXIMUM OF TWO STORIES FOR THOSE RETAIL USES, UM, AND HOTELS AND OFFICES ARE HAVING MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT OF 65 SPEEDS. SO THE SURROUNDING AREA IS ZONED ALLERGY. HARD TO SEE. BUT IT'S ALL BLUE AROUND THERE, SO IT IS ESSENTIALLY LOCATED WITHIN THE BUSINESS PARK AND IS APPROPRIATELY LOCATED SINCE IT IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE 1 61 AND BEACH ROAD INTERCHANGE HERE, SO THIS IS ALSO WITHIN THE FUTURE MIXED USE DISTRICT IN THIS CASE, THEY ARE DOING A COMMERCIAL MIXED USE. IT STILL ALLOWS, WHERE OFFICE BUT ALSO IS ADDING ONTO THESE RETAIL , HOTEL AND GAS STATION TYPE USES SO AGAIN ALL COMMERCIAL USES BUT A MIXTURE OF RETAIL AND OFFICE USES HERE SO IT MEETS THE LAND USE RECOMMENDATIONS OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, AND THE CITY'S CLINIC COMMISSION REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE REZONING 50 IN JULY THIS YEAR. 
          JUST TO CLARIFY BECAUSE I LOOKED DOWN FOR A MOMENT WHICH WHICH COLOR WHICH IS EXACTLY SO IT'S

          TO INFILL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT I P U D FOR AN AREA TO BE KNOWN AS BEACH INTERCHANGE SOUTHWEST ZONING DISTRICT, AS REQUESTED BY M. B. J HOLDINGS LLC CARE OF AARON UNDERHILL AND MR MAYOR, SO THIS PROPOSAL IS ACTUALLY EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE LAST ONE. THIS ONE IS LOCATED JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE PREVIOUS SITE WAS JUST OFF OF THE PAGE TO THE SOUTH HERE. SO BEACH ROAD 1 61. HERE'S THE OFFERING. AND THEN WE HAVE DUBLIN GRANVILLE ROAD TO THE SOUTH. SO THIS ALSO PERMITS A VARIETY OF USES. IN ADDITION TO OFFICE USES SO AGAIN, THIS WILL ALLOW FOR RESTAURANTS BOTH WITH AND WITHOUT DRIVE THROUGHS. BANKS DAYCARES, GAS STATIONS AND HOTELS, AMONG OTHER RETAIL AND RESTAURANT USES SO SAME DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AS THE PREVIOUS SITE HAS TO FOLLOW THE CITY'S DESIGN GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS, AND IT HAS THE SAME SETBACKS AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AS OTHER RETAIL CENTERS WITHIN NEW ALBANY. AND AGAIN. THIS INCLUDES THE ROOFTOP SCREENING AND THE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHTS THAT I PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, AND IT IS ALSO CENTRALLY LOCATED HERE, RIGHT OFF THE INTERCHANGE OF 1 61 BEACH. UM SO IT IS ESSENTIALLY LOCATED WITH AN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PARK. SO THIS ALSO IS WITHIN THE MIXED USE DISTRICT FOR FUTURE LAND USE. BUT AGAIN, THIS IS DOING COMMERCIAL MIXED USE, SO THIS WILL BE A MIXTURE OF OFFICE AND RETAIL AND RESTAURANT TYPE USES .

          [00:30:11]
THE NEW ROADWAY, WHICH IN THE LEGISLATIVE REPORT, WE'VE CALLED SURPRISING COURT EXTENSION BECAUSE THAT'S THIS NEWLY CONSTRUCTED ROAD. UM SO THIS IS REALLY UNNAMED AT THIS POINT. 
          BUT WHAT? WHAT WE'VE ASKED IS WE'VE WE'VE WE'RE DESIGNING THIS NOW AND WE'VE ASKED THE DEVELOPER TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT TO CONSTRUCT THIS SECTION FROM HERE. TO HEAR. AND SO THERE ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING THE 475 ACRES TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE NORTH. AND SO WITH THE JUST KINDA INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY THAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING IN AND AROUND THIS AREA.

YOU SAID THAT IF THE ESTIMATE THAT THEY RECEIVED WAS GREATER THAN WHAT WE WERE TO POTENTIALLY APPROVED TONIGHT, IT WOULD REVERT BACK TO THE CITY TO GO AHEAD AND BUILD THIS OUT.

PROJECT ASSUMING THIS IS MISS CHARLIE IS CORRECT. THANK YOU. COUNT COUNCIL BEFORE I JUMP INTO FACE TO. I DO WANT TO PROVIDE A QUICK UPDATE ON PHASE ONE. SO WE ARE HOLDING A PLAYGROUND BRAND OPENING RIBBON CUTTING ON AUGUST 29TH. SO THAT IS TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY. IT WILL BE FROM 3 30 TO 4 30. WE WILL HAVE THE PLAYGROUND OPEN. UM MOST OF TO ALL THE TRAILS ARE PAVED. NOW. MOST OF THOSE TRAILS WILL BE OPEN ON THE 29TH. WE WILL HAVE THE OHIO WILDLIFE CENTER THERE AND THEY WILL BRING, UM, SOME WILDLIFE CREATURES THAT YOU MIGHT FIND NATIVE TO OHIO AND THE TYPE OF HABITATS THAT ARE OUT AT TAYLOR FARM PARK. I'M HOPING THAT WILL BRING AN OWL, BUT THAT'S MY PERSONAL, UM, ASPIRATION FOR THE PROJECT FOR THE FOR THE DAY. WE ALSO ARE GOING TO HAVE POPSICLES THERE. WE HAVE PUSHED THE INFORMATION OUT THROUGH PEACH JAR AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR THE YOUNGER GRADES, SO WE THINK WE'RE HOPING WE'LL GET GOOD ATTENDANCE. I KNOW THE POSTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. AT LEAST FACEBOOK HAS GOTTEN REALLY GOOD ENGAGEMENT. UM YOU KNOW LOTS OF POSITIVE COMMENTS AND PEOPLE LIKE TAGGING. OTHER PEOPLE WERE SAYING, LET'S TAKE OUR KIDS HERE , SO I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY GOOD EVENT. WE WILL HAVE A RIBBON CUTTING. IF ABBY HASN'T ALREADY SHE AND GENERAL, UM REACH OUT TO YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION THE DATE AND TIME AND SEE IF YOU GUYS CAN ATTEND. WE'LL HAVE A RIBBON CUTTING. WE WILL HAVE CONFETTI LIKE WE DID AT THE PICKLE BALL OPENING, BUT OUR CONFETTI IS GOING TO BE NATURAL BECAUSE OF THE PARK AND SO QUIET , QUIET. YEAH, IT WON'T BE POPPED, BUT WE'LL ASK THE SCHOOL KIDS THAT ARE THERE, WILDLIFE BOY. WE'LL HAVE IT'S DRIED FLOWERS AND LEAVES AND TWIGS WHICH WILL BE OUR CONFETTI THAT WE WILL THROW WHEN WE CUT OPEN WHEN WE CUT THE RIBBON AGAIN. I'M SORRY. 3 30 TO 4 30 ON THE 29TH BEFORE YOU MOVE FORWARD ON THAT TOPIC. I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT. I JUST ASSUME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. THERE WAS AN INVITATION THAT CAME OUT TODAY TO THE GOOGLE CAMPUS FROM 2 30 TO 3 30. I BELIEVE THE SAME DAY SO WE MAY WANT TO FIGURE OUT HOW WHAT WE DO ABOUT THAT. OKAY I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU. I DON'T KNOW IF OTHERS RECEIVED THAT THE 28 OR 29. I THINK IT'S BOTH THE SAME DAY. MAYBE I GET IT WRONG. IT'S DIFFERENT DAYS. IT'S THE 28TH TYPICAL MONDAY DAY. NEVER MIND FORGET ABOUT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS. THANK GOODNESS. OKAY THEN ANOTHER FUN THING THAT IS GOING ON RELATED TO TAYLOR FARM IS THERE IS A LOCAL RESIDENT AND FAMILY, UM, WHO IS A EAGLE SCOUT CANDIDATE WHO APPROACHED THE CITY EARLIER THIS YEAR ABOUT BUILDING BIRDHOUSES FOR TAYLOR FARM PARK AS PART OF HIS EAGLE SCOUT CANADA PROJECTS. AND SO IN OUR VANDER SWAG HAS DONE A GREAT JOB WORKING WITH THEM. YOU CAN SEE HER ON THAT PICTURE. SO CHARLIE AND HIS FAMILY BUILT ARRANGED A BIRDHOUSE BUILDING EVENTS, UH, LAST WEEKEND, AND THEN THEY DELIVERED IT THEM TO TAYLOR FARM PARK TODAY, SO, UH, THOSE WILL BE PLACED PROBABLY THIS FALL. BYE, MR CONSTRUCTION , AND THEY WILL START TO BUILD SOME OF THE WILDLIFE AND BIRD AND BAT HABITAT OUT THE PARK, SO HE'S DONE A GREAT JOB. HE'S AGREED YOUNG MAN, AND HE'S BEEN REALLY NICE WORKING WITH HIM ON THE PROJECT, MAKING BIRD HOMES FOR DIFFERENT SPECIES OF BIRDS. 
          YES SO YEP, SO THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF TARGETED TOO. HOW DIFFERENT BIRDS NEST. UM AND THEN THERE ARE ALSO A COUPLE OF BAT HOUSES BECAUSE WE KNOW BATS LIKE TO EAT INSECTS AND KEEPS THAT POPULATION AND CHECK WHICH IS IMPORTANT FOR THE ECOLOGY OUT THERE ALONG THE WOOD LINE, WHERE THE RESIDENTS OF ALL THE BAD HOUSES WE'LL PUT THEM IN A GOOD SPOT. YOU MEAN THAT A NICE WAY? 
          [00:40:07]
YES, I AM WOULD BE THE FACT THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. ACTUALLY ONLY SPECIES THAT EAT IMAGES, RIGHT? THAT WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD IDEA BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T WANT THOSE AROUND. WHERE RIGHT? YEAH I THINK THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITIES ON THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE PARK AND AROUND AROUND THE RESIDENCES THERE AND AROUND THE STREAM. OKAY SO THAT'S EXCITING. THAT'S BEEN A FUN ASPECT TO SEE THIS TYPE OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND EXCITEMENT FOR THE PROJECT. 
          PHASE ONE. LIKE I SAID, ALL THE TRAILS ARE PAVED. THERE'S SOME FINAL SEATING AND STRAW THAT NEEDS TO GO DOWN. THE HORSE FENCE IS SUPPOSED TO BE INSTALLED NEXT WEEK. THE FINAL IDENTIFICATION SIGNAGE JUST THAT KIND OF SITE, UM, FINAL. UM SITE RESTORATION TYPE WORK THAT HAS TO HAPPEN. IN THE MEANTIME, IT'S PHASE ONE IS WINDING DOWN. PHASE TWO IS RAMPING UP. SO COUNCIL APPROVED A LIMITED NOTICE TO PROCEED WITH MR CONSTRUCTION IN JULY. THAT REALLY ALLOWED THEM AND THEY ARE ON SITE NOW AS OF THIS WEEK TO START MOBILIZING BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO WORK HARD TO HIT THIS DATE TO LET THE COMMUNITY GARDEN PIECE OF PHASE TWO BE OPEN BY NEXT SPRING. FOR WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO GET OUT AND START. PLANTING THEIR GARDENS. UM SO TONIGHT WE'RE BRINGING FEES TO GMP, SO THAT'S THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT FOR YOU. THE SECOND PHASE OF THE PROJECT INCLUDES THE COMMUNITY GARDENS THAT I TALKED ABOUT A STORAGE BUILDING, ADDITIONAL BOARDWALKS, SANITARY, SEWER AND WATER, STEWART SEWER EXTENSIONS AND THE RESTROOM FACILITY. THE PROJECT HAS BEEN BID BY MR CONSTRUCTION, AND THEY PREPARED THIS GMP AMENDMENT TO PRESENT TO THE CITY. UM LIKE I SAID COUNSELORS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED THE LIMITED NOTICE TO PROCEED THAT IS WRAPPED INTO THIS GMP AMENDMENTS. SO THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL COST, UM, RELATED TO ADVANCING THAT WORK. THE CONTRACT WITH MR REQUIRES A CONTRACTOR TO SUBMIT THIS PROPOSED WITH THE CITY AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE DESIGN PROCESS. THE PROPOSED GMP HAS PRESENTED BEING PRESENTED AT 6,379,170. THIS REPRESENTS THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION. IT DOES INCLUDE ALTERNATES FOR BOARD BOARDWALKS A AND B AND THEN WHEN WE ADD IN STOCK CARS, SO WE HAVE INSPECTIONS. WE HAVE MATERIAL TESTING. WE HAVE TO GET SOME. 
          YOU HAVE TAPPED FEES FOR COLUMBUS THAT HAPPENED IN THEIR SEWER BUILDING PERMIT FEES, CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION. ALL THOSE SOFT COSTS. WE WILL STAY WITHIN THE PROJECT BUDGET WAS WHICH WAS APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL IN THE MID YEAR APPROPRIATION. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL. JUST A GENERAL QUESTION. SO ONCE . IF THIS IS APPROVED TONIGHT, THEN WHAT'S STILL REMAINS LEFT WITH TAYLOR. I KNOW PROBABLY STILL OF THE BARN OUT THERE. WE HAVE SOME OTHER THINGS. WHAT STILL REMAINS? YES SO WE'VE ALWAYS THE PARK PIECE WOULD BE COMPLETE WITH PHASE TWO. THE ONLY THING WORK THAT WOULD REMAIN WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE. UM UH, OUTCOME OF WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE HOUSE AND THEN SO THE, UM THE. THE BARN IS NOT SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO SAVE BUT WHAT WE WOULD PROPOSE AS PART OF PHASE THREE, WHICH WOULD TAKE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE BARN RESTORATION CONSULTANT WE TALKED TO AND MOVE THE EVIL HEIMER BARN OR THE BARN THAT'S UP AT THE EVIL HEIMER OUT TO TAYLOR AND CREATE KIND OF, UM THREE SEASON PAVILION SPACE THAT WOULD BE NORTH OF THE COMMUNITY GARDENS. 
          THE OLD BARN BE TORN DOWN IN PHASE TWO. SO LET'S NOT THERE AND IT'S NOT A HAZARD. PENNY THAT'S CORRECTED BE, UM IT'S NOT IN A SAFE CONDITION. ANY OTHER STRUCTURES BACK THERE THE OLD CHICKEN COOP OR WHATEVER ELSE IS BACK IN THERE, SO ALL OF THAT HAS TO BE RAISED BY THAT. THAT ELEVATION OF THE GROUND HAS TO BE RAISED BY LIKE 6 FT. IN SOME PLACES, SO THOSE STRUCTURES WILL , UM, ACTUALLY, THE CHICKEN COOP WAS DEMOLISHED YESTERDAY BY MR AS PART OF THE LIMITED NOTICE TO PROCEED. AND SO THE STORAGE BUILDING OVER PLACE THAT CHICKEN COOP AND THEN THE RESTROOM BUILDING WILL BE NEXT TO THE STORAGE BUILDING. AND THEY ARE ALL TAKE THEIR DESIGN CUES FROM, UM WHAT THE CHICKEN COOP LOOKS LIKE. NOW ARE WE NAMING OR IS THERE ONE BUILDING THAT WE'RE GOING TO KIND OF REFER TO AS A CHICKEN COOP? I MEAN, I'LL PROBABLY REFER TO THE STORAGE BUILDING AS A CHICKEN COOP. ALRIGHT REASON YOU'RE SAYING GOOD WITH THE REASON I'M SAYING THAT THE REASON I AM SAYING THAT BECAUSE WE SHOULD WE SIT ON OUR, UH OUR LATE COUNCIL MEMBER, MR GLIDE, MARSH. WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BILL AND IT'S ON A FARM. THERE'S GONNA BE A CHICKEN COOP. AND FOR ALL THE CONTRIBUTIONS HE'S MADE TO BOTH AGRICULTURE AND THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. IT WOULD BE A 
          [00:45:03]
GREAT RECORD GREAT TRIBUTE TO HIM. HE'S ALSO WORK. EXCUSE ME, A WORLD WAR TWO VETERANS AS WELL AS BIRTH. WHAT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY FOUNDATION FOR US TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          ADRIAN. SO DID I UNDERSTAND, THEN. EVERYTHING WILL BE RAISED EXCEPT THE HOUSE. THE HOUSE THAT'S CORRECT, OK, THAT'S A CHANGE BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO TRY TO PRESERVE THE CHICKEN COOP BECAUSE I REMEMBER SEEING THE VARIOUS NEEDED OR GET IT TO THE 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN RAISING UP AND EVERYTHING. SO WHEN WE WENT FOR THE VARIANTS, WE WEREN'T SURE WE KNEW WE HAD TO RAISE IT UP TO GET IT OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN. WE WEREN'T SURE IF IT WAS VIABLE TO RAISE LIKE, ACTUALLY LIFT THAT EXISTING BUILDING. UM OR JUST BUILD A NEW BUILDING AND THEN THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER EVALUATED IT AND SAID IT THEY NEED TO BUILD A NEW BUILDING. OKAY SO THE RESTROOM FACILITY WHICH WAS GOING TO BE THE LOOK WAS GOING TO KIND OF THINK IT'S TRYING TO MATCH THE CHICKEN COOP. WE'RE STILL GOING TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR LIKE THAT DESIGN OF BOTH. THOSE BUILDINGS LOOK LIKE THE CHICKEN COOP, THE ROOFS, THE ROOF LINE AND CLEAR STORY WINDOWS. YEAH OKAY, THAT THAT ELIMINATES THE VARIANCE BECAUSE NOW WE CAN JUST BUILD IT NOW. ARE YOU GOING TO ALSO HIT THE NEW ALBANESE TO FOOT ON TOP OF THAT? WELL, WE STILL NEED THE VARIANTS BECAUSE EVEN TO BUILD NEW WE WERE STILL HITTING THAT SAME FLOOD THAT SAME ELEVATION AS WE WOULD IF WE WOULD HAVE LIFTED THE EXISTING BUILDING, SO THE VARIANCE IS STILL NOT THE EXTRA NEW ALBANY TO FOOT. YES, THAT'S CORRECT, OK? ALL RIGHT. I KNOW. WE REMEMBER US TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE BARN WAS DIDN'T THE EXPERT WAS SAYING IT DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGHISTORI HCAL VALUE TO BE WORTH TRYING TO RESURRECT IT. AND THE WHOLE THING ABOUT BRINGING THE DEATH. 
          MOHAMED WENT OVER. HAVE WE HAD DONE ANYTHING AT ALL IN TERMS OF RESEARCHING THE HISTORICAL VALUE OF THE HOME OR OR IT'S WHAT WE ARE. I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T DECIDED WHAT YOU'RE GONNA RECOMMEND. BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS IF THERE'S BEEN ANY PART OF THE PROCESS ABOUT THAT, SO FAR WE'VE DONE SO WE HIRED, UM, HISTORIC PRESERVATION CONSULTING FROM LAST YEAR TO LOOK AT ALL THE STRUCTURES. ON THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE HOME AND THEY GAVE US OUR INITIAL, UM , KIND OF STABILIZATION AND SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHAT WE SHOULD DO ON EACH OF THE STRUCTURE, SO THEY DID EVALUATE THE HOUSE. THE HOUSE IS IN ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. THERE'S SOME I MEAN, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY SOME WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. BUT STRUCTURALLY IT'S PRETTY SOUND. THEY HAD STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS COME OUT AND LOOK AT IT. AND SO WE HAVE DONE A PRELIMINARY LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT. WE HAVEN'T DONE ANY WORK ON UM, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD NEED TO KNOW WHAT WE WANT THAT FINAL PROGRAM TO BE LIKE OFFICES AND THEN WE COULD START DESIGN WORK AND FIGURING OUT WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO GET THAT DONE. THE LAST CURTAIN REMAINED IN ONE PLACE. I HAVEN'T CHECKED. I HAVEN'T BEEN IN THERE RECENTLY AT THE OCTOBER 5TH ANYONE? NO ONE OPEN HOUSE. WE WILL. WE INTEND TO HAVE THE HOUSE OPEN AND ALLOW RESIDENTS TO COME THROUGH BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I'VE TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT INSTEAD OF ALWAYS WANTED TO GO INTO THAT HOUSE. UM SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO OPEN THAT OUT UP AND HAVE PEOPLE WALK THROUGH IT AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT, AND WE FEEL LIKE IT'S STRUCTURALLY SOUND FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE. I MEAN, WE'LL HAVE PEOPLE SPACE THROUGHOUT THE HOME. IF THERE'S ROOMS. WE DON'T WANT THEM TO GO IN, SO THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THAT. YEAH. 
          GOOD HALLOWEEN SPOOK HOUSE. IT WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT SPOKE UP IF YOU HEARD OR NOT. BUT ADRIAN AND I, THERE WAS THIS LACE CURTAIN THAT SEEMS TO HAVE A LIFE OF ITS OWN. IT KEEPS MOVING TO DIFFERENT ROOMS EVERY TIME WE GO IN, SO OKAY. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL JUST ONE. 
          ADRIAN DO YOU THINK THERE'S A POSSIBILITY OF MAYBE HAVING THAT HOUSE OPENED DURING THE AUGUST 29TH? OPENING OF THE PARK. UM BECAUSE I IMAGINE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PARK IN THAT PARKING LOT, PROBABLY ANYWAYS, THEY WILL HAVE TO PARK IN THE PARKING LOT, UM, THE HOUSES AND CONDITION TO OPEN IT. BUT I WAS JUST WONDERING. YEAH ABILITY. WE DO NEED TO DO SOME CLEANUP, SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE'D HAVE TIME TO DO IT FOR THAT. BUT WE DEFINITELY WILL HAVE IT READY AND OPEN FOR OCTOBERFEST. OKAY THAT WOULD BE A NICE OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY GOING TO BE OUT. THERE IT IS. YEAH WE COULD MAKE THAT HAPPEN. YEAH I'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. 
          OKAY? GOOD NO FURTHER QUESTIONS . OPEN THIS MATTER OF THIS RESOLUTION TO OPEN IT TO THE PUBLIC. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC OR COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

WE'LL HAVE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS, PROBABLY COMING OUT EITHER AT THE FIRST MEETING IN SEPTEMBER OR POSSIBLY THE SECOND, BUT OUR EXPECTATIONS FOR SURE TO HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS IN SEPTEMBER. SO JUST AS A REMINDER THE PLAN WAS TO START TO MOVE THIS INTO A DIFFERENT CYCLE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN COUNT ON FOR THEIR BUDGETS NEXT YEAR, KNOWING IN ADVANCE WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE GOING TO APPROVE A GRANT FOR NEXT YEAR'S FISCAL CYCLE FOR THEM. UM CLERK MASON DID WE WERE WE ABLE TO VERIFY THAT ANYBODY THAT HAD APPLIED BEFORE NEW ABOUT THE CHANGE DEADLINE. WE DO ANYTHING TO CHECK THAT OUT.

          [13. REPORTS OF REPRESENTATIVES]
TO MAKE A REPORT AH! COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE TO MORE BSI JOE STEPHAN. LIFE THANK YOU. SO THE COMMISSION RETURN TO BUSINESS AFTER ITS SUMMER RECESS IN THE MONTH OF JULY PRIORITY TO MEETING THEY HAD A LUNCH. DISCUSSION REGARDING RAILWAY SAFETY. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE DISCUSSION, THOUGH IT DOESN'T DIRECTLY APPLY TO US BECAUSE OF OUR LACK OF A REAL THROUGH TOWN. AH, THEY ADAPTED THE STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT. HARD COPIES WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE MEMBER COMMUNITIES. IF THEY WOULD LIKE THEM. THOSE WILL BE COMING OUT, PROBABLY WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS OR SO, UH, DIGITAL LINKS WILL ALSO BE PROVIDED WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO. THE FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT WILL GUIDE THEIR WORK THEIR BUDGETS AND BASICALLY ESTABLISHED THEIR GOALS FOR THE COMING YEARS. ADDITIONALLY SECRETARY OF ENERGY CAME TO COLUMBUS AND THE LANCASTER AREA . YOU MIGHT RECALL THAT MORSI DOES THEY HAVE A WEATHERIZATION PROGRAM THAT IS FUNDED BY THE UTILITY COMPANIES AND THEN ALSO OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES. 
          YEAH UH, THE SECRETARY OF ENERGY VISITED ONE OF THE WEATHERIZING HOMES THAT WAS DONE UNDER MORSI'S SUPERVISION. ALSO THE BOARD ACCEPTED THE OR AUTHORIZED THE ACCEPTANCE OF GRANTS FOR CONTINUED WORK. ON WHETHER IZATION SERVICES BASICALLY WHAT THAT DOES IS PRESERVES LOW INCOME ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING THROUGH THE RESIDENT WEATHERIZATION AND REPAIR OF THOSE HOMES. SO IF NOT FOR THESE PROGRAMS, UM YOU KNOW SOME OF THESE HOMES WOULD BE WOULD CONTINUE TO FALL INTO A LEVEL OF DISREPAIR THAT WOULD MAKE THEM ON INHABITABLE. UM. NEXT THEY WANTED TO, UM. INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA SUMMIT TOOK PLACE AND WAS SUCCESSFUL AND THAT OCCURRED ON AUGUST 6TH THAT IS AVAILABLE ON VIDEO. IF ANYONE WANTS TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. THERE WAS A REMINDER ABOUT THE SUMMIT AND SUSTAINABILITY WHICH WILL OCCUR ON OCTOBER OCTOBER, 26TH. UM I BELIEVE THE CITY HAS PARTICIPATED IN SENATE REPRESENTATIVES TO THAT FOR SEVERAL OF THE LAST YEARS. THERE WAS A INTRODUCTION TO A NEW MESSAGING PLATFORM. BASICALLY UM , REVIEW OF MISSION VISION AND VALUES. BASICALLY BUILDING THE BRAND OR THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE BRAND WHAT MORPH C STANDS FOR AND WHAT ITS WORK ENTAILS. 
          FINALLY UM, THEY DID IT KICK OFF. OF THE COMMUNITY BASED PLANNING ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS SO SOMETHING THAT I SHARED WITH COUNSEL BEFORE THE BREAK THEY WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IN THE FORM OF ACCESS TO CONSULTANTS UNDER A STANDARDIZED, UH, RFP THAT WILL BE ISSUED BY MORSI. SO IF WE WANTED TO HIRE A CONSULTANT TO COME IN AND I SHORT TERM BASIS, WE COULD ACCESS THEIR THEIR POOL OF CONSULTANTS. ALSO THEY WILL HAVE A PLANTER PULL PROGRAM AS WELL. SO IF WE HAD A SPECIFIC PROJECT THAT EXCEEDED THE CAPACITY OF OUR EXISTING IN HOUSE STAFF, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO TO MARK C AND WHOLE ONE OF THE PLANTERS FROM THEIR THEIR 
          [00:55:08]
FULL FOR USE IN THE TEMPORARY SHORT TERM PROJECT, AND THEN THEY WOULD RETURN TO YOU NO MORE CIA AND DO WORK ON BEHALF OF OTHER CLIENTS SO THAT THAT PROGRAM KICKED OFF THIS MONTH. 
          AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO REPORT. THANK YOU, UH, COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE TO JOINT PERKS AND RED COUNCILMAN, SO YEP. SO WE HAD A MEETING JUST YESTERDAY LAST MONDAY LAST MONDAY. AND THEY REVIEWED A COUPLE OF THINGS. I THINK SPECIFIC TO THE CITY. FIRST WAS THEY HAD A DISCUSSION AROUND THE SHELTER HOUSE. WHICH WILL BE IN THE BLUE ZONE. THE SHELTER HOUSE IN THE BLUE ZONE IS THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE RIGHT BY THE PICKLE, BALL COURTS AND BASKETBALL COURTS. THEY SHOULD HAVE AN UPDATE ON COST HERE. PROBABLY IF THERE NEXT MEETING. I KNOW THEY'RE JUST WAITING ON SOME UTILITY COSTS THAT THEY MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE YET, BUT I KNOW THAT'S FORTHCOMING, SO THEY SHOULD HAVE AN UPDATE ON THAT, PROBABLY NEXT MONTH. THE SOUND RIGHT, MIKE? I DON'T. YES, OKAY. ALRIGHT AND THEN FALL REGISTRATION NOW IS CLOSING. SO THEY'VE GOT THAT UP AND RUNNING. UM THE PICKLE OPERATIONS AGREEMENT THERE. THEY WERE FINE WITH OUR AGREEMENT AND EVERYTHING. I JUST ONE LITTLE TWEAK TO IT, BUT REALLY DIDN'T MAKE ANY. IT WAS ACTUALLY THE TWEET WAS SOME FEEDBACK FROM COUNCIL. WE ADDED INTO THE OPERATION AGREEMENT. I KNOW MY KIDS SAID SOME THINGS AND I THINK THEY'RE FINE THAT THAT'S SO THEY'RE JUST GOING TO LOOK AT IT AND THEN GET IT BACK TO US, SO WE SHOULD BE GOOD THERE. AH AND THEN FINALLY, THEY HAD THEIR FIRST LOOK AT THE NEW ALBANY FIELDHOUSE AND COMMUNITY CENTER LOOKED INTO DESIGN. THEY SHOULD HAVE A THREE D VISION OF THE CENTER AND ABOUT A MONTH JUST TO KIND OF SEE HOW THE SPACE IS GOING TO GO. I HAVE, UH, KIND OF A FIRST. LOOK AT IT HERE. IF PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED, I CAN KIND OF PASS IT. IT'S A CONCEPT, BASICALLY SO ALTHOUGH THEY DO HAVE SOME VERY SPECIFIC THINGS IN THERE, I THINK, UM, IT'S COMING ALONG NICELY SO THAT THAT SHOULD HAVE THAT THREE D NEXT MONTH, AND THEN ALSO, ONCE THIS PROJECT GETS STARTED, IT'S GOING TO TAKE ABOUT 19 MONTHS IS WHAT THEY'RE ESTIMATING, SO THEY'RE LOOKING AT LEAT. UM I GUESS. 
          MAYBE LATE 25, MAYBE STARTING FEBRUARY MARCH OF NEXT YEAR AND THEN FINISH UP IN LATE 25 IS KIND OF PROVISION RIGHT NOW, SO JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A HEADS UP, THAT'S IT, BUT IT'S ALL GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS SECTOR HOUSE RESTROOMS. SO THE ORIGINAL? YEAH THE PLANS THAT WE LOOKED AT AND HAVEN'T SEEN THE UPDATED PLANS, BUT YOU'LL HAVE RESTROOM FACILITIES THAT ARE ACCESSIBLE BOTH INSIDE AND FROM THE OUTSIDE. YOU'LL HAVE, UM, KIND OF A STORAGE ROOM. YOU HAVE AN OPEN SPACE. THAT CAN BE USED SIMILAR TO THE QUESTION OF PAVILION BOOK, UM KNOW ABOUT THEIR THE SOME MINIMAL KITCHEN OPPORTUNITIES THERE. OUTSIDE SEATING ARRANGEMENTS MIGHT BE A FIRE PIT, ETCETERA. SO IT'S MORE OF A GATHERING SPACE BECAUSE I THINK IF YOU'LL YOU'LL NOTICE, ESPECIALLY PICKLEBALL. PEOPLE STAY THERE FOR A WHILE. I MEAN, IT'S YOU GO OUT AND YOU PLAY THAT IT'S MORE OF A SOCIAL THING TO THAT SPORT. IN GENERAL, I LOOK AT THE BASKETBALL COURTS THERE FOR EVERY SINGLE NIGHT PICK UP, BUT I MEAN, THE WHOLE PLACE IS REALLY HOPPING WITH PEOPLE. AND I THINK PUTTING THAT FACILITY NOT ONLY WOULD BE GREAT FOR THE RESTROOMS, BUT IT ALSO BE NICE COMMUNITY PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO KIND OF AND I TAKE A BREAK PRIVATE EVENTS. THEY'RE LIKELY THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY SPECIFICALLY ARE IN THAT YET, BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. J P D PAYING FOR THAT, OR WAS THE FUNDING COMES AROUND THAT FUNNINESS COMING FROM THE J P D, ALTHOUGH COUNCIL HAD APPROVED SOME MONEY FOR RESTROOMS WITHIN THE PICKLEBALL, UM DECISION WE'RE THINKING IS MAYBE NOT DO SEPARATE RESTROOMS FOR PICKLEBALL JUST PUT THEM IN WITH THIS FACILITY, AND SO THERE'S A PART OF IT THAT WERE ALSO CONTRIBUTING TO, BUT THAT'S MONEY THAT WE HAD ALREADY BUDGETED FOR OUT THERE ANYWAYS. GOOD SOUNDS GREAT. YEAH. THAT'S IT. COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE THE PLANE, LOCAL SCHOOLS COUNCIL MEMBER KISSED AH, THEY ACTUALLY HAD A PRETTY LENGTHY SCHOOL BOARD MEETING LAST NIGHT, UM, AND MET FOR A LITTLE WHILE. SO THE INITIAL THING THAT WHENEVER THEY DID A PARENT SURVEY THAT THEY SENT OUT LAST SPRING, AND THEY WENT OVER THE RESULTS OF THAT ALL THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS AROUND YOUTUBE. SO IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF IT, IT'S SIMILAR TO THE SURVEY THAT WE HAVE DONE HERE. UH UM, IT'S UH, CONDUCTED BY CERTAIN SURVEY, USA. THEY HAD 885. PARENTS RESPOND TO THE SURVEY, WHICH IS ABOUT 10% SAID THEY AVERAGE ABOUT 2% FOR THOSE SURVEYS, SO THEY WERE VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE RESPONSE THEY GOT. UM I'LL JUST CALL DIALING EMAIL AND HE CLICKED ON IT. I THINK IT WAS ABOUT 75 QUESTIONS 
          [01:00:08]
, SO WOW. WOW YEAH, IT WAS IN DEPTH IT TOOK ABOUT 2020 MINUTES OR SO AND THERE'S A LOT OF THEM WERE, YOU KNOW, RATING THINGS THAT SLIDER QUESTIONS WHERE YOU WERE GREAT IMPORTANCE. THINGS. 
          UM SO IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY INTERACTIVE. UM JUST TOUCH ON A FEW OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE, UM THE IMPORTANT INITIATIVES 88% LISTED SAFETY IS THE NUMBER ONE INITIATIVE. UM ACADEMICS WERE 2ND 77% SO THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE FOLKS HEADS ARE OUT RIGHT NOW, UM, ADMINISTRATORS AND STAFF RECEIVED EXTREMELY HIGH MARKS. UM I THINK 90% APPROVAL FOR THE TEACHING STAFF AND 85% FOR THE ADMINISTRATORS, SO UM, VERY WELL LIKED OVER THERE. ONE QUESTION THAT KIND OF APPLIES TO COUNSEL A LITTLE BIT THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO START THINKING ABOUT. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS, IF THE DISTRICT GROWTH REQUIRED ANOTHER BUILDING, WOULD YOU SUPPORT RELOOKING AT ATHLETIC FIELDS TO OFF CAMPUS SO WE CAN MAINTAIN ONE ACADEMIC CAMPUS. AND 71% OF THE RESPONDENTS SAID THAT THAT WOULD BE OKAY. SO MAYBE SOMETHING I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING YOU KNOW WITH THE FIELDHOUSE. UH THERE'S GONNA BE SOME DECISIONS IN THE NEXT 53 OR FOUR YEARS. OR SOONER, SO THAT'S KIND OF PLANTING SEED OUT THERE. WE MAY EXPAND THE CAMPUS AND RELOCATE ATHLETIC FIELDS. UM SO I RECOMMEND IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO IT THE RESULTS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN DEATH. CHECK IT OUT ON YOUTUBE. BACK TO SCHOOL TOMORROW. FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR HALF THE STUDENTS IS TOMORROW MORNING. THURSDAY THE OTHER HALF WILL GO, AND THEN FRIDAY, EVERYBODY'S BACK, SO IT'LL BE SEEING SCHOOL BUSSES BUZZING AROUND AND KIDS ALL OVER AND HOPEFULLY ON BIKES, SO BE CAREFUL DRIVING AROUND. UM SOME INTERESTING FACTS. MICHAEL DID A REALLY COOL BACK TO SCHOOL PRESENTATION. THIS SCHOOL YEAR THERE 25 COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN REPRESENTED IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. 30 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND CULTURES ARE REPRESENTED IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. UM, AS OF TODAY, THERE'S 5017 STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. AND MICHAEL MADE IT CLEAR, HE SAID EVERY YEAR AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL HE GETS ABOUT 102 150 NEW STUDENTS BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST FORGOT TO SEND KIDS EVER SCHOOL INFORMATION. AND THEN THEY SEE A SCHOOL BUS RUNNING AROUND LIKE, OH, GOSH SCHOOL STARTED SO THAT NUMBER WILL PROBABLY JUMP UP BY ABOUT 100 OR SO KIDS IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO. LOVE IT. YEAH I GOT YOU ANOTHER DAY ON THAT HAPPENED . I GOTTA GO THIS YEAR. YEAH PARENTS ARE TRYING THEIR BEST. YEAH, SO A COUPLE OF INTERESTING FACTS. ON STAFFING. 33 OF OUR CURRENT TEACHERS ARE NEW ALBANY ALUMNI. SO IT SHOWS THAT KIDS HAVE ENJOYED IT HERE SO MUCH THEY WANT TO COME BACK AND WORK HERE AS WELL. UH, REALLY GOOD. 
          STAFFING UP THE OUR BUSSES ARE FULLY STAFFED. NOT GONE. WOULD ALL THE ROUTES WILL BE BE DRIVEN? AND IT PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE. WHAT A MONUMENTAL TASK IT IS EVERY DAY TO PICK THE KIDS UP FROM SCHOOL ARE EACH DAY OR BUSSES MAKE 1361 STOPS AND DR 2860 MILES COMBINED EACH DAY EVERY DAY. THEY'RE DRIVING ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BASICALLY YOU KNOW, FROM NEW YORK, CALIFORNIA SO UM. TO HAVE THEM FULLY STAFFED IS A BIG DEAL, AND IT MAKES PARENTS LIVES A LOT EASIER. SO KNOCK ON WOOD. THAT'S A TREND AND I KNOW NOW, APPLE'S HAS WORKED REALLY HARD TO ATTRACT DRIVERS AND BE COMPETITIVE WITH OTHER DISTRICTS . AND I KNOW I MEAN, I'D SEE ON THE NEWS EVERY NIGHT. OTHER DISTRICTS WERE STILL STRUGGLING, SO IT'S PRETTY COOL THAT THEY FIGURED IT OUT, UM, TOUCHED ON THE SCHOOL SAFETY RELATED RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. AND THE DRILLS THAT THEY'VE RUN. I KNOW JUST DID A REALLY COOL VIDEO ON IT. BUT THE DISTRICT IS VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE. 
          AH, IN THE COMMUNITY HERE. THEY'RE DOING AN OVERHAUL ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE MAKE IT MORE USER FRIENDLY, CLUNKY SORT OF. AH. THEIR RULING THAT OUT NOW SO IT SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE USER FRIENDLY. AND THEN THE LAST ITEM WE TALKED ABOUT, UH IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN FOLLOWING THE NEW ALBANY LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM IS IN, UH, THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES IN WILLIAMSPORT. SO I KNOW IT WAS PRETTY COOL. WE PULLED TOGETHER AND WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO BROADCAST THE GAME THURSDAY NIGHT AT THE MCCOY. I THINK IT'S 55 30. SALADS 7 37, SO IT'LL BE AT THE HINTON AMPHITHEATER GATES OPEN AT 6 30. OKAY, WE DON'T HAVE THREE FOOD TRUCKS THERE. UM 
          [01:05:06]
WELL, AT LEAST TWO WERE WORKING ON THE THIRD ONE. OKAY, UM LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE I THINK YOU WERE TAILGATING AT FIVE. IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN? YOU KNOW, IT'S UH, IT'S ADORA THING RIGHT AROUND TO SUPPORT THE DOOR. YEAH UH, YEAH , IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU ALREADY KNEW ALREADY MADE IT. UH WE'RE STATE CHAMPIONS AND MADE IT TO THE STATES JUST BEFORE THIS IN 2018. SO THIS YEAR, THEY ACTUALLY BROKE THROUGH AND THEY'LL PLAY THE WEST AND SHOULD BE PRETTY EXCITING. SO. THAT'S IT FROM ELIMINATION? NO THEY IT IS THE ELIMINATION, BUT IT'S A MUCH EASIER PATH. IF THEY LOSE THIS FIRST GAME, THEY GOT TO GO THROUGH THEM. LOSERSBRACKET IT COULD BE TOUGH. SO THIS FIRST GAME AND WE'RE TRYING TO RECRUIT A YOUNG MAN AND PLACE FOR ACADEMY RIGHT NOW, UH, MR CLARE, MAN AH! UH HE'S ACTUALLY LOSING A COUPLE DOORS DOWN FROM SLOAN. YEAH BUT HE'S UH HE'S BEEN FANTASTIC, SO HE'LL BE ARE STARTING PITCHER THURSDAY. SO THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD SIGN. BUT YEAH, WE A BIG DEAL. WE WERE IN THAT FIRST NAME. I'M READY, OK? THAT WAS. GOOD UPDATE. YOU DOUBLED THE TIME OF THE MEETING. THANKS FRAN. AH THERE'S A LOT TO TALK ABOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR. BACK TO SCHOOL. MARLENE, COME ON. I THINK THAT WAS ALL OUR REPS. LET'S GO TO SORRY TOWNSHIP TRYING TO SKIP MY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE STANDING ON COUNCILMAN DURIC. OKAY WELL, TOWNSHIP DID HAVE A MEETING. UM JUST THIS SCHOOL, STARTING SYNONYMOUS WITH THAT POOL WILL BE CLOSING IN A FEW WEEKS. AND UH, THEY'VE HAD AN EXCELLENT YEAR THEIR HEAD ON MEMBERSHIPS. 
          DAILY PASSES LESSONS. YEAH AND IT'S GENERALLY GOING VERY, VERY WELL. THEY DID HAVE TO CLOSE ONE DAY OR OVER CHLORINATION. BUT OTHER THAN THAT THE SYSTEMS HAVE GONE WELL, UH, THEY DID MAKE A DECISION ON THE POOL SLIDE TOWER , WHICH HAS NEEDED REPAIR. IT WOULD COST AS MUCH TO REBUILD AS IT WOULD TO REFURBISH SO THERE WILL BE REBUILDING IT MORE PLASTIC AND COMPOSITE SAYS TO SOME OF THE OTHER MATERIALS THAT THEY'VE USED TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $235,000 TO REPAIR THE TOWER. IN THE TOWERS, PROBABLY OVER 25 YEARS OLD NOW, SO IT'S STOOD INSTEAD FOR A LONG TIME. 
          UM. THAT'S ABOUT IT ON THE POOL, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THEY HAD A MEDIC CHASSIS THAT THEY'D ORDERED AND HAD BEEN COMMITTED. THIS PAST YEAR TO BE DELIVERED THIS YEAR, AND UNFORTUNATELY IT GOT CANCELED BY THE MANUFACTURER , SO THEY WERE LEFT IN THE LURCH, AND THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANOTHER, UM ANOTHER TRUCK, SO IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT WITH THE CHASSIS IS, YOU KNOW WITH OTHER VEHICLES? AND THEY HAVE ALL NEW RESCUE TOOLS. THEY REPLACED ALL THE HYDRAULICS WITH ACTUALLY BATTERY POWERED TOOLS. HYDRAULICS WERE ALSO 20 YEARS OLD. SO THINGS HAPPENED. MM. HE THEN HAD A CONTINUATION OF A ZONING MEETING FOR 62 02 WALNUT. WHICH IS A REQUEST TO SAY A COMMERCIAL FACILITIES STORAGE FACILITY ON THEIR PROPERTY.
