AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MAKES US A LITTLE BIT UNIQUE IN CENTRAL OHIO AND SOMETHING THAT I'M PROUD OF. UM NO. ALBANY IS A WELCOMING COMMUNITY, AND THE IDEA COMMITTEE WAS BORN OUT OF THAT DESIRE TO IMPROVE. ON OUR EFFORTS TO BE WELCOMING AND EVENTS LIKE THIS AND CELEBRATION OF DIWALI OR JUNETEENTH OR OTHER EVENTS THAT WE HAVE PLANNED, REALLY GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY AS A COMMUNITY TO TAKE PAUSE AND LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE FOLKS THAT LIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND GET TO CELEBRATE THESE EVENTS WITH THEM. UM I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW IN NEW ALBANY, UM IT'S IN IT'S INCUMBENT ON ALL OF US AS COMMUNITY LEADERS. TO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RESPECT AND UNDERSTANDING. AND THOSE ARE TWO IMPORTANT TRAITS NO MATTER WHERE YOU'RE FROM, OR WHERE YOU ARE TO REALLY PROJECT NOT ONLY ON YOURSELF BUT ON YOUR COMMUNITY AND THE MEMBERS OF YOUR COMMUNITY. THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE RESPECT AND UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER. UM WELL HAVE COME FROM DIFFERENT PLACES, AND I'VE LIVED IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT

AND TRY TO BUILD RESPECT AND UNDERSTANDING. ALL RIGHT, JEN, I DON'T KNOW IF COUNCIL HAS ANY OTHER COMMENTS. WELCOME. WELCOME TO DO SO. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL TO DO DIWALI IN THE CELEBRATION.

WHEN I GO INTO A NEW COMPUTER COMMUNITY IS WE CAN ONLY DO SO WELL, THE TOOLS THAT WE ARE GIVEN AND THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARY VALUABLE TOOL TO ALLOW US TO DRAW ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT. THE BILLION DOLLAR FIGURE THAT YOU'VE HEARD IS PURELY INFRASTRUCTURE AND Q. T S ORIENTED. WE DON'T YET HAVE TENANTS, BUT THIS ALLOWS US TO BE COMPETITIVE IN THE MARKETPLACE TO ATTRACT THOSE TO INVEST IN THIS COMMUNITY. THANK YOU, SIR. HOW MANY JOBS WOULD BE A GREAT I MEAN, HOW MANY? I GUESS YOU LOOK TENANTS EMPLOYEES BE EMPLOYED BY YOUR TENANTS, OR WE GO. OKAY THESE FACILITIES CAN TYPICALLY ALSO INCLUDE CLASSIC OFFICE SPACE. I WORK IN THE DATA CENTER. I'M NOT A TECHNICIAN. I WISH I WAS. UM IT VARIES BY DESIGN AND TENANT AND APPLICATION. WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS THAT TENANT APPLICATIONS VARY AND HAVE VARYING DEGREES OF ATTENTION THAT ARE NEEDED. IT COULD BE ALL CUTE ES EMPLOYEES THAT COULD BE HALF UPS EMPLOYEES HAVE TENANT EMPLOYEES, DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF CONTRACTS THAT WE HAVE A BALLPARK OF LIKE EMPLOYEE PER SQUARE FOOT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT THAT THAT'S PART OF WHAT SUPPORT. I WOULD SAY IT'S GONNA BE NO LESS THAN PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, ACROSS THE INVESTMENT, I THINK YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE CONSERVATIVELY SOMEWHERE. NOTHING. 10 TO 20 Q. T S JOBS, I'D SAY AT LEAST DOUBLE THAT FOR YOUR TENANT PERSPECTIVE AND THEN FROM A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR PERSPECTIVE, WE TYPICALLY LOOK AT ANYWHERE FROM 300 TO 600 FULL TIME CONSTRUCTION WORKERS, DEPENDING ON ACCELERATION PAY, AND THEN TYPICALLY ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO 100 FULL TIME CONTRACTORS THROUGHOUT THE OPERATIONS OF THE FACILITY. BUT IT'S HIGHLY SPECULATIVE BASED ON THE LEAST THAT WE HAVE NOT YET SIGNED THE APPLICATION. THAT'S NOT YET THANK YOU TENANT OR IS IT JUST THE SERVERS? TENANTS ARE GOING TO BE. IT'S JUST THEY'RE GOING TO RENT THE SERVER SPACE. THEY WILL ALSO LEASE OFFICE SPACE FROM US. OKAY YOU MANAGE YOUR COMPANY MANAGED TO SERVERS MAINTENANCE APARTMENT BUILDING WHEN YOU SIGN FOR A ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT WITH NICK BLESSING APARTMENTS LLC. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR INTERIOR. YOU CAN PUT A COUCH CHAIR. YOU CAN DECIDE. YOU JUST CAN'T MOVE THE FRIDGE. RIGHT UM, THAT'S WHY, AS WE GO THROUGH AND DEVELOP THESE PROJECTS WE TRY AND ALSO DO THEM IN CONCERT WITH OUR TENANTS. IF IT IS A LARGE ENTERPRISE SIZE TENANT, UM SO TO THAT EXTENT THERE IS A THERE IS SOME DEGREE OF VARIABILITY, BUT I AM NOT. IT'S NOT MY DATA. IT IS NOT MY APPLICATION. I'M PROVIDING SECURE. REDUNDANT POWER. UM HARDWARE HARDWARE IN THERE, AND WE CAN PROVIDE SOME DEGREE OF HARDWARE. SO FROM AN ELECTRICAL CONFIGURATION STANDPOINT. THEIR REDUNDANCY AND RESILIENCY. THAT IS A LINE FROM THAT INFRASTRUCTURE FROM TRANSMISSION, TOO. TRANSFORMER TO REMOTE POWER PANEL TWO UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SOURCE.

THERE'S A NUMBER OF DEGREES OF PIECES OF HARDWARE THAT INHERENT TO THE BUILDING. BUT ONCE YOU GET DOWN TO A RACK SERVER CAGE FIBER NETWORKING PERSPECTIVE, THAT WOULD BE A TENANT PERSPECTIVE BRINGS IN. YES, SIR. THAT'S WHAT I NEEDED WHEN WE'RE OPERATIONAL. BE HAPPY TO TAKE YOU FOR A TOUR. YEAH BUT I MAKE FACILITIES LIKE THIS DO YOU HAVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY? WE TRY AND COUNT ON CAMPUSES. UM FACILITY WIRES? I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE GOT A GREAT ANSWER FOR YOU YET.

UM WE'RE EXPERIENCING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF GROWTH. YEAH. SO I WOULD SAY CONSERVATIVELY, PROBABLY 50, OR 60. COMPARABLE FACILITIES, OKAY, BUT I DON'T HOLD ME TO THAT. I HAVE TO ASK BRIAN PERSON. THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH SO I HAVE ONE. HOPEFULLY, IT'S ON THE LIST DOWN FOR YOU. UM JUST A QUESTION, SINCE THIS IS A DATA CENTER, AND I UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENT OWNERSHIP ELEMENTS. OF CONDOMS KIND OF MANY AMAZING WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN TERMS OF HAVING SUFFICIENT REVENUE TO OFFSET THE ABATEMENT. DO THEY HAVE THE ADDITIONAL DATA CENTER CHARGE THAT WE APPLY TO KIND OF A SINGLE COMPANY? DATA CENTER? YES THEY SURE DO. KEEP IN MIND. YEAH THOSE, UM ARE ARE FORMULA FOR DATING DINER CENTERS IS A AGAIN ALONG THE LINES OF THE PER SQUARE FOOT FORMULA THAT WE USE. AND IT WAS CALCULATED BASED ON WHAT THE PROJECT WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE GENERATED. IF IT WAS DEVELOPED AS SOMETHING OTHER THAN DATA CENTER, SO WE'RE GETTING THE BENEFITS OF THE REVENUE WITHOUT NECESSARILY SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC. UM

[00:55:04]

MANY OF THOSE ASPECTS ARE CORE TO OUR FACILITIES. WE ACTUALLY HAD A STANDARD TO GO THROUGH, INSERTED BY ALL OF OUR BUILDINGS, FORMERLY IT WAS LEADING. NOW IT IS ENERGY STAR.

BUT THAT IS COMMON STANDARD PRACTICE THAT WE IMPLEMENTED EVERY ONE OF OUR FACILITIES. THE DATA CENTER INDUSTRY AT LARGE IS MEASURED BY EFFICIENCY. AND WHEN YOU ARE SELLING AND LEASING SPACE, MUCH LIKE Q. T S DOES YOU ARE INHERENTLY MOTIVATED TO BE THE BEST STEWARD NOT ONLY OF YOUR PEOPLE BUT OF YOUR RESOURCES AS POSSIBLE AND RESOURCES, NOT INTENDING MONEY RESOURCES, MEANING RESOURCES, POWER, WATER LAND. THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE ACTIVELY CONTEMPLATE WHEN WE'RE DOING DEVELOPMENT. AND SO FOR US, ONE OF THE OTHER ADVANCEMENTS WE'VE MADE, PARTICULARLY IN TECHNOLOGY. IS TO ELIMINATE A HEAVY RELIANCE ON WATER. SYRIA ACTUALLY ASKED ME MAYBE 2323 TIMES IF I HAD MADE A MISTAKE ON OUR MOU BASED ON OUR WATER CONSUMPTION FIGURES BECAUSE IT WAS SO LOW THAT IS, IN FACT, ACTUALLY HOW WE OPERATE OUR FACILITIES, WHETHER IT BE CLOSE BLUEBIRD DIRECT EXCHANGE, SO THOSE ARE ELEMENTS THAT WE THINK ABOUT. SO IF I WERE TO DESCRIBE TO YOU WHO WE ARE, WE'RE PEOPLE FOCUS THEIR MISSION MINDED WORD TECHNOLOGY ORIENTED. WE'RE HERE. I'M HERE INTENTIONALLY. I WANT TO BE A COMMUNITY MEMBER AND WILL BE A COMMUNITY PARTNER. UM, HEARD A LOT ABOUT WORKFORCE. PART OF THE REASON WE ALSO LIKE THESE PROGRAMS THAT REINVESTS IN OUR SCHOOLS REINVESTED PROGRAMS ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU. AND SO AS WE ESTABLISHED, WE WANT TO BE AN ACTIVE PARTNER. WE WANT TO BE HERE. WE WANT TO BE A PARTICIPANT IN WORKFORCE ADJUSTMENT IN THE COMMUNITY, AND HOPEFULLY WE'RE ONLY HERE WITH ROAST AND GOOD NEWS FOR Y'ALL, BUT UM Q. T S IS A VERY COMMUNITY AND CULTURE ORIENTED ORGANIZATION. I'VE BEEN THERE OVER SEVEN YEARS. NOW THE AVERAGE TENURE OF OUR ORGANIZATION IS A LITTLE OVER FIVE, WHICH IS PRETTY EXTRAORDINARY FROM A CORPORATE PERSPECTIVE. UM WE ACTUALLY RECRUIT VERY HEAVILY FROM ARMED SERVICES AND MILITARY PERSONNEL.

UM MAJORITY OF OUR OPERATIONS STAFF COME FROM ARMED SERVICES. WE FIND A LOT OF OVERLAP THERE AND WE WORK WITH THEM AS WELL AS UNDERPRIVILEGED COMMUNITIES. TRY AND PROVIDE WORKFORCE TRAINING UP. SKILLING RE SKILLING AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS. UM LIKE I SAID, I'D BE HAPPY TO TOUR ANY AND ALL OF YOU ONCE WE HAVE AN OPERATIONAL FACILITY HERE, AND I WOULD CERTAINLY WELCOME AND INVITE FURTHER COMMENTS CONVERSATION, BUT I DO WANT TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THE REMAINDER OF THE BULBS TIME. APPRECIATE IT NEXT. GOOD TO SEE YOU. THANK YOU . QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL ALRIGHT . WELCOME OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING RESOLUTION R. 44?

AND OR 1 61, OR THAT AVERAGE. I THINK IT'S RIGHT THERE AND THAT URBAN URBAN ACTIVIST JIM WHATEVER IT'S TRAINED, RIGHT SPORT ANYWAYS. RIGHT NOW, WE CAN TRY THEM FOR A CHANGE OF PACE USED TO BE THE PURPLE JIM. INTERESTING MEETING GOING TO BE HERE OR IT SERVICES. IT SHOULD BE HERE. IT WILL BE HERE. I CAN JUST MAKE THAT CALL. IT WILL BE HERE. WE MAY BE ABLE TO DO A TABLE SET UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM JUST TO MAKE IT A BIT MORE. I DON'T KNOW. DISCUSSION ORIENTED. WE HAVE NEW MIX TO ALLOW THAT WHAT WAS OVER THIS TIME JOURNEY AH! I SENT OUT AN INVITE. I THINK 10 THIRTIES THAT RIGHT? YES. 10 30 TO 3 ON THE 13TH. WE MADE THIS COUNCIL MEMBER WILL TRUMP RIGHT AT THE END, BUT HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIT IT ALL IN. AND THAT'S IT FOR THE QUICK. ALRIGHT ANY UPDATE FROM THE FINANCE DIRECTOR. I HAVE NOTHING TO REPORT OTHER THAN YOU'RE GOING TO BE HEARING FROM ME FOR MEETINGS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS ENOUGH WILL SAVE OUR TIME FOR THEM. ANY UPDATE FROM CITY MANAGER JUST ONE ITEM. WE HAD SOME VANDALISM OVER ROSE RUN LAST WEEK. WE HAD. SOME OF THE PAVER STONES THAT ARE IN THE COUNCIL RING AREA WHERE, UH, VANDALIZED. THEY WERE GRAFFITIED AND SOME WERE THROWN INTO THE CREEK. TREES WERE CARVED ON WITH IMAGES AND SOME HATE SPEECH. SO OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT WENT OUT AND TRIED TO CLEAN IT UP AS BEST AS THEY COULD. UM THEY HAD TO TRY TO STAND DOWN SOME OF THE TRUNKS OF THE TREES TO GET SOME OF THE IMAGES OFF. UM MY GUESS ESTIMATED. IF WE LOSE THE TREES WILL PROBABLY IN THE IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 5 TO $6000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. SO WE'RE LOOKING INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE POLICE DEPARTMENTS INVOLVED WITH IT. SO ARE WE THINKING CAMERAS IN THAT AREA AT SOME POINT AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS. AN INCIDENT OR IT'S JUST BEEN ONGOING WHERE KIDS ARE OVER THERE, AND THEY JUST KEEP ADDING ON UM SO MIKE INFORMED ME TODAY THAT GRAFFITI IS INCREASING PROBLEM OR GUYS CONTINUE TO GO OUT AND TRY TO CLEAN UP OUR POLICIES. JUST TAKE IT DOWN AS QUICKLY AS WE FIND IT. I THINK GRAFFITI IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA IS PROBABLY A LITTLE LITTLE LESS COMMON. UH BUT IN OTHER AREAS LIKE SOME OF THE UNDERPASSES OF BRIDGES, THINGS LIKE THAT WE'RE SEEING MORE OF IT. YOU KNOW, I THINK. WE'RE CONSIDER LOOKING AT CAMERAS. I HAD A RESIDENT APPROACHED ME WHO WAS SEMI ATTACKED BY A DOG DOWN THERE.

THE DOG WAS ON ALONG, LEACH AND, UH SAID, YOU KNOW, SHE TRIED TO FIND OUT WHO WAS TO GO OFF. BUT WITH CAMERAS, THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN OPPORTUNITY AT LEAST IDENTIFY WHO OR WHAT? OCCURRED.

AND IF VANDALISM IS HAPPENING, IT'S MUCH LIKE TAYLOR FARMS. I THINK BEING REMOTE LIKE THEY ARE, I THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME EYES. I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO PREVENT IT. BUT WE CAN IDENTIFY MAYBE HE WAS DOING IT. THING IS WORTH THE SAFETY OF THE RESIDENTS TO CONSIDER THAT.

INSIDE EXTREME MEANING THAT THEY'RE BEING WATCHED THAT THERE CAMERAS EXACTLY. YEAH, YEAH. I DON'T THINK WE HAD HIM MAKE IT VERY CLEAR. YEAH STUFF LIKE THAT HAS NO PLACE HERE, SO WE NEED TO
