          THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU. UM COUNCIL MEMBER RISK AND OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING. I AM A 19, YEAR RESIDENT OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY, PARENT OF A CHILD IN NEW ALBANY SCHOOLS AND A HUGE FAN OF THE COMMUNITY AND ALSO SERVED IN MY DAY JOB AS A SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AT NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, BUT VOLUNTEER MY TIME WITH HELPING NEW ALBANY RIGHT HERE IN THE COMMUNITY. AND UM, IN WORKING WITH CITY MANAGER STEFAN OFF. WE HAVE HAD HEALTHY NEW ALBANY HAVE REALLY BEEN LOOKING AT A STRATEGIC PLAN INTO THE FUTURE. AND AS YOU KNOW, HEALTHY NEW ALBANY EXISTS BECAUSE WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT AND CREATE AUGMENT A CULTURE OF HEALTH AND THE COMMUNITY. WE WANT TO BE THE ONLY TO BE THE HEALTHIEST COMMUNITY. IT'S CERTAINLY IN OHIO AND THE UNITED STATES BY MAKING IT OBVIOUS THAT EVERYTHING YOU DO HERE IS ALLOWING YOU TO BE YOUR BEST POSITIVE SELF. AND UM, THAT HISTORY WITH HELPING WALL MONEY HAS EVOLVED INTO FOR LANES OF STRATEGY AROUND NATURE, NORRISH MOVEMENT AND KNOWLEDGE AROUND HEALTH. AND AS WE LOOK AT THAT FUTURE WE ARE BUILT ON THE SHOULDERS OF FILL HEIGHT. WHO I THINK YOU ALL KNOW WHO CREATED THE NEW ALBANY WALKING CLASSIC AND WE'RE COMING UP ON THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NEW ALBANY WALKING CLASSIC. FOR THE LONGEST TIME PROCEEDS FROM THE CLASSIC CLASSIC FUNDED HELPING THE NOMINEE. AND BETWEEN A 
          [00:05:01]
RELATIONSHIP WITH OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY WHO WE CO SHARE SPACE WITH OVER IN THE HEIGHTS CENTER ACROSS THE WAY AND THE WALKING CLASSIC. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO FUND OUR EFFORTS NATURE NATURE, NOURISH MOVEMENT AND KNOWLEDGE. UM THAT HAS BEEN CHANGING SINCE COVID WHEN PARTICIPATION IN THE WALK HAS CHANGED. WE DO HAVE OVER 1500 PARTICIPANTS THIS PAST YEAR AND IT CONTINUES TO GROW. 
          BUT WE NEED TO BE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT WHAT OUR FUTURE LOOKS LIKE , UM, I HAVE WITH ME THIS EVENING. OUR CURRENT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ANGELA DOUGLAS, BUT SHE HAS ANNOUNCED THAT SHE'S STEPPING DOWN AND I WAS HELPING ROMNEY LOOKS INTO THE FUTURE AND HOW WE CAN REALLY GROW OUR MOST POPULAR ACTIVITIES IN PARTICULAR . UM THERE ON THE NORTH SIDE. WE HAVE THE FARMER'S MARKET, WHICH HAS OVER 1000 PEOPLE A WEEK. AND WE HAVE THE FOOD PANTRY, WHICH SERVICED OVER 1200 INDIVIDUALS FROM THE GREATER INVOLVEMENT AREA, PRIMARILY THROUGH FAMILIES CONNECTED THROUGH OUR SCHOOLS. 
          WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO GROW THE FOOD PANTRY INTO A BIGGER SPACE. WE NEED TO GET OUT OF THE SPACE THAT WE ARE GIVEN BY THE SCHOOLS , AND THEN WE NEED TO WANT VERY MUCH TO FURTHER DEVELOP OUR NATURE PROGRAMS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY. TAYLOR FARM PARK AND SO THROUGH THOSE CONVERSATIONS, AND THROUGH THE CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH JOE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE OPPORTUNITIES ARE TO HELP LAUNCH A LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY PLAN INTO THE FUTURE. AND PART OF THAT HAS BEEN THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE RENT HOLIDAY THAT WAS TABLED AT YOUR LAST MEETING. AND SO I AM HERE TO REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION FOR THE THREE YEAR RENT HOLIDAY, WHICH WILL ALLOW HELPING ALL OF YOUTUBE, UM, RECRUIT A NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND FINALIZED PLANS FOR BOTH THE FOOD PANTRY AND FOR TAYLOR FARM PARK. SO WITH THAT I AM HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, PATTY. UM I THINK AT THE LAST MEETING THERE WAS A STRATEGIC PLANNING MEETING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. I THINK DIRECTLY AFTER AND I THINK THAT WAS THE MAIN REASON WE DECIDED TO TABLE THE MOTION. DID I GUESS IF YOU COULD SHARE WHAT IS THE STRATEGIC PLAN, AND I GUESS MORE SPECIFIC. THAT THREE YEAR HOLIDAY. I THINK THERE WAS SOME QUESTIONS AS THREE YEARS VERSUS YEAR VERSUS TWO. SO I GUESS IF YOU COULD JUST TOUCH ON WHAT YOU GUYS DECIDED AT THE STRATEGIC PLAN, AND, UH, YOU KNOW HOW THE THREE YEAR HOLIDAY PLAYS INTO THAT. SO UM, AT THE STRATEGIC PLANNING DISCUSSION, WE TALKED THROUGH THE IDEA THAT OF THOSE FOUR LANES, NATURE, NOURISHING MOVEMENT AND KNOWLEDGE. UM WE NEED TO BE VERY THOUGHTFUL ABOUT WHAT PROGRAMS WILL CONTINUE AND WHAT WILL NOT NOT UM. WE HAVE NOT PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED ANY CHANGES YET. SO WOULD PREFER NOT TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE SOME OF OUR CONSTITUENTS ARE NOT AWARE, BUT WE WILL BE VERY THOUGHTFUL ABOUT WHAT OUR PROGRAMS ARE MOVING FORWARD. 
          AND, UM THE IDEA OF THE RENT HOLIDAY. HMM. ANY RENT HOLIDAY WOULD BE MORE THAN GENEROUS, AND WE APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY. BUT WHAT IT WOULD DO WOULD ALLOW US TO HAVE THE CASH THAT WE ARE OTHERWISE PAYING ON THAT RENT TOO. RECRUITING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO HELP WINNOW DOWN OUR PROGRAMMING AND BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THE LANES THAT WE ARE IN. AND THE LANES THAT WE ARE NOT IN. AND, UM, WE WANT TO DO THAT, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY. WE HAVE BEEN HOSTING THE SENIOR PROGRAMS WHICH OCCUR IN THE SPACE AND HEALTHY NEW ALBANY. 
          THIS PAST YEAR, UM, WITHOUT COMPENSATION FROM THE CITY, BUT WE KNOW WE HAVE GOOD FAITH IN THE PARTNERSHIP. AND SO PART OF THAT IS COVERING THAT MOVING FORWARD. THAT RECRUITMENT AND THEN DEVELOPING THE NATURE OF PROGRAMMING AND SUPPORTING A LONGER TERM CAPITAL CAMPAIGN AROUND TAYLOR FARMS, THE JOINTLY WITH THE CITY AS WELL AS A LONGER TERM CAPITAL CAMPAIGN FOR THE FOOD PANTRY. WHICH THOSE CAMPAIGNS WOULD LAST MORE THAN ONE YEAR. WHICH IS WHY WE'RE LOOKING FOR THREE YEARS. I THINK WE HAVE PART OF WHAT WE WERE REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IS WHERE THE THREE COMES INTO PLAY, AS OPPOSED TO, AS OPPOSED TO POSTING YEAR TO YEAR. WHAT DO YOU FEEL THAT THREE YEARS GIVES YOU IN TERMS OF WHERE YOU SEE YOURSELF THREE YEARS FROM NOW? SO UM, I THINK THREE YEARS FROM NOW WE WILL BE VERY CLEARLY SUSTAINABLE AND VERY DEFINED LANES. UM VERY MUCH VERY MUCH NATURE. PROBABLY LESS MOVEMENT AND KNOWLEDGE. UM AS WE LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE THE MOST PARTICIPANTS IN AND WHERE WE HAVE FINANCIAL VIABILITY. THE REASON WE ARE LOOKING AT THREE YEARS IS BECAUSE WE HAVE AN EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TRANSITION. 
          SO THAT WILL TAKE 6 TO 9 MONTHS TO GET SOMEONE HERE AND ON BOARD AND THEN TO LAUNCH AND COMPLETE A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN WILL TAKE AN ADDITIONAL AT LEAST 18 MONTHS. MORE LIKE 2 TO 3 YEARS, BUT WE 
          [00:10:04]
THINK BY YEAR TWO OF THAT PLAN WHICH IS ONE YEAR AFTER THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GETS HERE, THEN WE WOULD BE IN A POSITION TO NOT NEED THE RENT HOLIDAY IN YEAR FOUR. OKAY? PATTY THANK YOU FOR COMING. I APPRECIATE YOU COMING HERE AND ANSWERING SOME OTHER QUESTIONS. I HAVE ONE AROUND THE THREE YEARS VERSUS TWO OR VERSES ONE. I KNOW WHEN WE CONSIDER GIVING OUT GRANT MONEY EVERY YEAR. WE USUALLY DO THAT ON A YEAR BASIS THAT ALLOWS THE COUNCIL TO MAYBE HAVE A TOUCH POINT WITH EACH OF THE ENTITIES THAT ARE COMING IN AND JUST ALLOWS US A CHANCE TO KIND OF HAVE THAT OPEN DIALOGUE AND COMMUNICATION. I'M KIND OF LEANING TOWARDS THE ONE YEAR AS OPPOSED TO THE THREE. I'M NOT AGAINST THE THREE BUT I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS WOULD BE ON A ONE YEAR FOR THREE YEARS VERSUS THE THREE YEARS FOR ONE SO AGAIN, WE WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL FOR ANY SUPPORT FROM THE CITY. WE SEE. THE CITY HAS LONG TERM PARTNERS AND, UM, NEED TO MAKE SURE WE CONTINUE TO HAVE A REALLY POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS SO I CAN'T COMMENT ON THE ONE YEAR EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THEN IT CAUSES US TO, UM. NOT IT CAUSES US TO FOCUS VERY MUCH ON WHAT WE ARE DOING IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE LONG RANGE SUSTAINABILITY IN THE FACE OF A NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. WHO WILL NOT HAVE BEEN HERE FOR LONG ENOUGH TO HELP THAT IF WE HAVE THREE YEARS OR I PREFER THREE BECAUSE THEN I THINK THAT REALLY LAUNCHES INTO THAT CAPITAL CAMPAIGN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY AROUND TAYLOR FARM. IF WE JUST DO IT YEAR TO YEAR. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. BUT IT CREATES THIS UNCERTAINTY IN THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS THAT THEN YOU HAVE TO OVERCOME EVERY SINGLE TIME BECAUSE UM. IT MAY BE DIFFERENT COUNCIL MEMBERS. IT MAY BE DIFFERENT THINGS, WHEREAS IF WE HAVE THAT CERTAINTY WE WILL BE ABLE TO THINK MORE STRATEGICALLY ABOUT OUR PARTNERSHIPS AND BE THOUGHTFUL FOR THE CITY. AS THE CITY CONTINUES TO GROW INSTEAD OF THINKING. WELL I'D LIKE TO. I'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE DO TAYLOR FROM THE RIGHT WAY, BUT I'M NOT 100% SURE I CAN AFFORD THE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN SUPPORT. PEOPLE IN SUPPORT CONSULTATION THAT I NEED BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE THAT EXTRA $50,000. OKAY OKAY. THANK YOU. SO YOU ACTUALLY JUST KIND OF TOUCHED ON WHAT I WAS ASKING ABOUT BEFORE. SO ONE OF THE GOALS YOU SEE AT THE END OF THREE YEARS IS BEING ABLE TO BE IN A POSITION TO MAKE A DECISION ABOUT TAYLOR FARM MOVE. YES THAT WOULD YES. WHEREAS A YEAR FROM NOW YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY BE THERE. TWO YEARS FROM NOW. YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN. BUT THREE YEARS FROM NOW YOU THINK YOU COULD BE AT THE POINT TO MAKE AND I KNOW THAT IS IMPORTANT TO COMMITTEE. SO I DO BELIEVE THAT THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT COMMITMENT MUCH MORE STRONGLY IN TERMS OF, UM WHAT ARE VIABILITY IS AN ELECTED GET INTO THAT SPACE. IF WE KNOW WE CAN COMPLETE THE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN, ARE YOU? I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A REALLY GREAT PARTNERSHIP. YOU ACTUALLY HAVE NOT MET YET, BUT I KNOW THAT THAT THAT THAT TIMES AND I KNOW, UM WOULD WOULD THE HEALTHY NEW ALBANY BE AMENABLE TO KIND OF GIVING US UPDATES ON A REGULAR BASIS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON? AND HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, ANGELA FOR EVERYONE TONIGHT? YEAH ARE SO THERE'S LOTS OF DATA IN HERE. I WAS GOING TO START TO SHARE IT, BUT REALIZE WE HAVE LIMITED TIME SO, BUT I MEAN, YOU KNOW ON A, YOU KNOW, SIX MONTHS JUST KIND OF TALKING ABOUT THE PROCESS, AND YOU KNOW ANY, YOU KNOW ANY INFORMATION THAT WE CAN. WE'RE HAPPY TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL OR MEET INDIVIDUALLY WITH FOLKS IS THEIR SCHEDULES. GO THROUGH, UM, JOE AND I HAVE HAD A VERY BRIEF CONVERSATION ABOUT PARTICIPATION IN THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS. SO WE DEFINITELY SEE YOU AS A LOCKSTEP PARTNER IN THAT PROCESS. AND CAN YOU REMIND ME THE ACTUAL ASKED FOR EACH YEAR, THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF IT DOLLARS? IT REALLY DEPENDS ON ME. OKAY LET'S SEE YOU TILL HE GOES ANY PROPERTY TAXES AND THEN ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE ON THE BUILDING. OKAY SO 50 GRAND A YEAR. GIVE OR TAKE WOULD BE THE OKAY. THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT SENIOR CONNECTIONS DO FALL INTO ONE OF THE LANES THAT WILL BE GOING FORWARD IN THE FUTURE. YES, OKAY. I KNEW THAT YOU MENTIONED PANTRY FARMERS MARKET. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WAS STILL YEARS. 
          CONNECTIONS IS A PROGRAM THAT WE HOST PHYSICALLY IN THE FACILITY BUT IS RUN BY YOU AS THE CITY AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THAT. YEP ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS. OKAY THANK YOU. PATTI. REALLY APPRECIATE YOU COMING OUT TO TALK TO US THIS EVENING. UM AND WE WILL MOVE ON. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS COUNCIL ON A MATTER THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY ON THE AGENDA?

WOODHAVEN UH, HAD A MODEL HOME THAT SOMEHOW IT WAS A MUTUAL MISTAKE BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE BUILDER THAT THEY HAD PLANNED TO PUT A DOUBLE GARAGE DOOR. ON THE MODEL HOME, WHICH I THINK WOULD HAVE WORKED IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FACT THAT IT WAS FACING FORWARD AND I THINK IF I'M SAYING THAT CORRECTLY AND BECAUSE IT WAS FACING FORWARD, IT'S REQUIRED TO HAVE TWO BAYS. UNFORTUNATELY BY THE TIME EVERYBODY FIGURED THAT OUT, THE HOUSE WAS ALREADY SUFFICIENTLY BUILT THAT THEY CAN'T GET TWO BAYS THAT ARE 9 FT WIDE, AND THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE 9 FT WIDE BASE. MINIMUM 9 FT WIDE, SO THERE WAS AN APPROVAL OF THEM, PUTTING 2 8 FT WIDE GARAGE BAYS ON THE MODEL. ONLY THE REST OF THE HOMES WILL MEET THE 9 FT OR BIGGER REQUIREMENT.

          [00:30:02]
TAXATION FOR THE BLACK LICK. ONE TIP. AREA FOR AN ADDITIONAL 20 YEARS AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND WE'RE BACK TO MS STATS. THANK YOU. YES THANK YOU. THIS ORDINANCE AMENDS THE BLACK LIKE TIFF ORDINANCE. 0 1099, AS AMENDED BY 27 AND 2016 20. SORRY 1620 18 TO EXTEND THE EXEMPTION FOR THE TAX AREA FOR ADDITIONAL 20 YEARS DURING THE 135TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY, UM WITHIN THE HOUSE, BILL 33, OHIO'S TOP FLOOR RECEIVED A NUMBER OF SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES, WHICH INCLUDED THE ADDITION OF A NEW SECTION OF THE R C, WHICH IS 57059.51. THAT ENABLES A TIP TO BE EXTENDED UP TO 30 YEARS AS A REMINDER TIP STANDS FOR A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING, WHICH MEANS ANY PROPERTY TAX CALCULATED ON AN INCREASE IN PROPERTY VALUE WITH DEVELOPMENT IS DIVERTED TO NEW ALBANY TO FUND PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IN NEW ALBANY IS TO FUNDS WE GENERALLY HAVE WHAT'S CALLED A NON SCHOOL TIP, MEANING THE SCHOOL RECEIVES THE FUNDING OR THE PROPERTY TAX OR THE MONEY THAT THEY WOULD UM, OTHERWISE RECEIVE AS THE EXEMPTION WASN'T THERE OR WE HAVE A SEPARATE COMPENSATION AGREEMENT WITH THE SCHOOL JUST AS A REMINDER. UNDER THE NEW ART O R. C A LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY MAKES AMEND AN EXISTING TIP ORDINANCE TO EXTEND THE EXEMPTION. ON THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PARCEL OR PARCELS DESIGNATED IN THE ORDINANCE TO QUALIFY FOR THE EXTENSION, EITHER $1.5 MILLION MUST HAVE BEEN COLLECTED IN ANNUAL SERVICE PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF TAXES, WHICH ARE CALLED PILOT PAYMENTS OR THE LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY MUST PROJECT THAT AMOUNT OF PILOT PAYMENTS WILL BE COLLECTED. THE O R C ALSO REQUIRES YEARS 31 TO 60 TO BE TREATED AS NON SCHOOL SO WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE. THAT WOULD STILL BE A NON SCHOOL, TOO. UM THE NEW OUR C SECTION ALSO INCLUDES REQUIREMENTS BETWEEN INTO THE TIMEFRAME DURING WHICH THE EXTENSION MUST BE ADOPTED. THE WINDOW TO EXTEND THE EXISTING TIP IS LIMITED TO THE CALENDAR YEAR IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE FIRST YEAR, THE TYPICAL ACTIONS EXCEEDED 1.5 MILLION TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THE BLACK LIKE TIFF. THE BLACK ELECTED ORDINANCE WAS ADOPTED IN 99 TO PROVIDE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS TO SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THE BLACK LIKE TIFF AREA PRIMARILY CONSISTS OF PROPERTY OWNED AND DEVELOPED BY ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH, AND THE ORIGINAL TIFF IS THAT TO EXPIRE DECEMBER 2029. THE AREA IS ALSO SUBJECT TO A COMMUNITY AND REINVESTMENT AREA AGREEMENT THROUGH WHICH NF HAS RECEIVED 100% ABATEMENT OF EACH IMPROVEMENT FOR 15 YEARS. THEY HAVE MULTIPLE BUILDINGS ON CAMPUS, AND SO THOSE PARTICULAR BUILDINGS ARE SET AND DIVIDED BY DIFFERENT SQUARE FOOTAGE, AND WE ARE ABLE TO THAT ABATEMENT IS ROLLING OFF. UM AND PHASES. THE ABATEMENT FOR THE FIRST SET OF BUILDINGS, WHICH WAS 11 BUILDINGS EXPIRED IN 2016 2017 WAS THE FIRST YEAR IN WHICH THE BLACK LICKED IF RECEIVED ANY PILOT PAYMENTS RELATED TO IMPROVEMENTS. AS THE ABATEMENTS FOR OTHER BUILDINGS HAVE EXPIRED . THE PILOT PAYMENTS HAVE INCREASED AND HAVE IT EXCEEDED THE $1.5 MILLION THRESHOLD IS THAT FOURTH AND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE EXTENSION AND THE R C. 
          IN 22 AND 23. THE COLLECTIONS WERE 2.1 MILLION AND 3.0 MILLION RESPECTIVELY. UM THESE COLLECTIONS REPRESENT AMOUNTS RECEIVED PRIOR TO DISTRIBUTING THE REVENUE TO NEW ALBANY, PLAYING LOCAL SCHOOLS. THE EASTLAND JBS DM PLAYING TOWNSHIP FOR FIRING AND MASS. SO THIS PARTICULAR TIFF AGREEMENT IS NOT SET. UM WITH THE COUNTY AS A NON SCHOOL TIFF, SO THEY DON'T PROVIDE THAT, UH, REVENUE DIRECTLY TO THE SCHOOLS. WE HAVE A SEPARATE AGREEMENT THAT ALLOWS FOR US TO SHARE THAT REVENUE OF SCHOOLS. UM ON THE BUILDING, ONLY WE KEEP THE MONEY FOR THE LAND IN ORDER TO FINANCE PROJECTS. UM SO WE HAVE SEPARATE AGREEMENTS FOR THOSE IN 2018. 
          THE BLACK LICK TIP ORDINANCE WAS AMENDED TO UPDATE THE LIST OF POTENTIAL PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS. TO BE FUNDED THROUGH THE PILOT PAYMENTS UPON REVIEW OF THE AMENDED LIST OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRESS PROJECTS . THE STAFF RECOMMENDS AMENDING THE ORDINANCE TO EXTEND FOR A PERIOD OF 20 YEARS, EFFECTIVELY ADJUSTING THAT LAST YEAR OF THE TIFF TO 2049. NOTICES WERE SENT TO THE PLANE. NOBODY PLAYING LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT EASTLAND JOINT VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS WITHIN THE 14 DAY REQUIREMENT, AS SET FORTH BY THE O R. C THE EXTENSION OF THE TIP WOULD ALLOW NEW ALBANY SCHOOLS TO CONTINUE RECEIVING PILOT PAYMENTS AND THE AMOUNT THEY WOULD RECEIVE IF NOT FOR THE EXEMPTION AND WOULD NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT OTHER PROPERTY TAX COLLECTIONS. IN ORDER FOR THE LEGISLATION TO MEET THE TIMING CRITERIA AS SET FORTH IN THE O. R C THE ORDINANCE INCLUDE

EMERGENCY INCLUDES EMERGENCY LANGUAGE TO WAVE THE SECOND READING OF THE ORDINANCE ON THE 30 DAY REFERENDUM PERIOD, MAKING THE ORDINANCE EFFECTIVE UPON ADOPTION AND SOMETHING TO NOTE WITHIN THE NEW LEGISLATION IN THE HOUSE, BILL 33 THEY HAVE ALLOWED FOR THIS YEAR TO BE THE KETCHUP BEER IN ORDER TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY TIFF THAT MET THAT $1.5 MILLION PRIOR TO UM, 2023 CALENDAR YEAR, MOVING FORWARD AFTER JANUARY 1ST THE ONLY WINDOW THAT YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS EXTENSION IS THE YEAR AFTER THE CALENDAR YEAR IN WHICH IT COLLECTED MORE THAN $1.5 MILLION , SO THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE EMERGENCY. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THIS. SORRY I AM SO LOT. 
          YEAH SO AND SO IS THIS. THIS IS A THIS IS A TAX EXEMPTION. THIS IS IT'S CONSIDERED AN EXEMPTION, BUT WHAT THEY DO IS THEY DIVERT, UM, THE INCOME. ARE BASICALLY THEY STILL CHARGE THE ENTITIES, OWEN F WOULD STILL PAY AMOUNTS EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT THAT WE PAY FOR EXEMPTION, BUT IT'S CALLED A PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES. SO TECHNICALLY, THEY'RE STILL PAYING TAXES. UM, BUT IT'S JUST BEING DIVERTED TO US IN THE SCHOOLS SO THERE ARE ARE THEY PAYING AS MUCH TAXES AS THEY WOULD WITHOUT THIS, BUT JUST WE ARE COLLECTING THE MONEY. WHERE? YEAH THEY'RE THEY'RE THIS DIVERTS THE MONEY THAT THEY PAY FOR TAXES, TOO. NEW ALBANY IN THE SCHOOL SO WE WOULD ACTUALLY EFFECTIVE LABOR, SEVE ANYTHING THAT WOULD NORMALLY GO TO THE COUNTY OR OTHER ENTITIES THAT HAVE MILLAGE THAT, UM OUR DISTRICT RECEIVED SO WE WOULD RECEIVE THOSE PARTS AND THE THIS HOUSE BUILT. 33 IS THE LEGISLATION THAT ALLOWED FOR THAT FUNDING MECHANISM TO HAPPEN . YES OKAY. ARE THERE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES? SORRY. YOU'RE WORKING TO CLARIFY THAT. I TAKE THAT BACK HOUSE BILL 33 ALLOWED FOR THE EXTENSION, THE EXTENT TO MAKE IT A 30 YEAR BUT TO ADD 30 YEARS TO AN ALREADY EXISTING UM, COORDINATES. TIP AREA, OKAY, SO THEY COULD DO 30 YEARS, BUT WE'RE JUST DOING 20 CORRECT. AND THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, JOE AND I TALKED ABOUT THAT JUST THINKING LOOKING AT THE IMPROVEMENTS KNOWING THAT THERE'S FIVE YEARS LEFT, UM DETERMINING, YOU KNOW, ESTIMATING WHAT THE COLLECTIONS WE THINK MIGHT BE AND DETERMINING HOW MUCH DEBT WE COULD POTENTIALLY ISSUE AND GENERALLY WE ISSUE 20 TO 25 YEARS. BOND, DEPENDING ON WHEN WE DO IT. OKAY. YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BE, UM, SEEN AS YOU KNOW, JUST TAKING IT BECAUSE WE COULD TAKE IT. OKAY? UM. I GUESS, AND I GUESS THE QUESTION FOR THE CITY LEVERAGES THIS EMERGENCY. 
          THIS TIMING. I UNDERSTAND IT'S IMPORTANT THIS WITHIN THE EMERGENCY CRITERIA FOR LEGISLATION. YES, THANK YOU. AND YOUR BILLABLES FOR THE DAY. UM I'LL PASS THE QUESTION OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL IS THIS THE ONLY TIP THAT FALLS INTO THE CATEGORY WITH IN OUR KETCHUP WINDOW? YES SO WE DID DO A REVIEW OF ALL OF OUR COMMERCIAL TIFFS. AND UM, IF YOU'RE JUST LOOKING AT OUR FUNDS WHERE WE RECEIVE THE MONEY IN OUR BUDGET SO, FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT OUR FUNDS AND THE BUDGET AND LOOK AT OUR TOP FUNDS, THERE IS, UM, ANOTHER FUND ON OUR BOOKS THAT RECEIVES MORE THAN THAT. IT'S THE OAK GROVE TO TIFF. BUT HOW WE HAVE THOSE ORDINANCES ADOPTED. THIS APPLIES . TO ORDINANCE VERSUS THE OVERALL. AREAS SO, UM. IT MIGHT BE CALLED THE SAME THING, AND WE RECEIVE IT ONTO THE SAME FUND, BUT THE COUNTY ACTUALLY RECORDS IT IN DIFFERENT DISTRICTS. SO THE VERY FIRST DISTRICT FOR OKRA TO THE TOTAL COLLECTIONS AND THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY EVEN WHAT THE CITY RECEIVES. IT INCLUDES ALL OF THE COLLECTIONS, INCLUDING WITH THE SCHOOL RECEIVES WHAT ANYBODY ELSE WOULD RECEIVE, UM WAS ONLY 1.2 MILLION. AND SO THAT WAS I MEAN, IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO HAPPEN THIS COMING YEAR. THE OTHER ONE THAT WE EVALUATED WAS VILLAGE CENTER. AND SO THAT IS ANOTHER ONE THAT WE MIGHT TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE ARE ALL THIS PARTICULAR LEGISLATION. UM REFERS TO THE COMMERCIAL SIDE OF THINGS RESIDENTIAL. THERE IS SIMILAR LEGISLATION, BUT THERE'S NO AH, WINDOW. THAT IT CAN BE DONE 
          [00:40:02]
OTHER THAN AS FAR AS I GUESS, AS FAR AS LIKE LIMITS OF HOW MUCH MONEY IT'S BRINGING IN OKAY ON THAT SPECIFIC EXAMPLE. YOU JUST GAVE WHERE IT SAID 1.2 COLLECTED . THAT WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE NOW MOVING FORWARD, ASSUMING IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO HIT THAT 1.5 THRESHOLD THAT WE HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER YEAR. NO, WE WOULD IT. I GUESS I MAY HAVE MISSPOKEN IN THE YEAR THAT IT COLLECTS 1.5. 
          YOU WOULD HAVE TO ADOPT THE LEGISLATION IN THAT CALENDAR YEAR. AND IF YOU DON'T YOU CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE. YOU MISS THE WINDOW UNLESS THEY HAVE OTHER LEGISLATION THAT COMES DOWN THE ROAD. THEORETICALLY IF IN THE CALENDAR YEAR BY JUNE WE'VE GOT 1.5. WE COULD ALREADY GO AHEAD AND WE WILL. NO UM WELL, NO. ESTIMATED AMOUNTS WHEN THAT ONCE THEY RELEASE THE TAX BILLS BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW TAX BILLS WORK. UM YOU KNOW, GENERALLY IT'S TWO BILLS YOU PAY IN JANUARY AND JULY, UM BUT WE CAN GO ON AND PULL THE VALUES OF THE TOTAL PAYMENTS. UH TO SEE PROJECT I CAN LOOK AS AND AS THEY RELEASED THE BILLS TO SEE WHAT I THINK WILL BE GETTING SO WE CAN WORK ON THAT. AS SOON AS WE CAN. ONE OF THE CONSIDERATIONS, AND BETHANY MENTIONED THIS EARLIER THAT WE THAT WE DISCUSSED WAS THE NUMBER OF CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT REMAIN WITHIN THAT WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THAT TIP DISTRICT. WHAT'S WITH REGARD TO US? 62 WE TALKED FOR YEARS ABOUT FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INTERSECTION OF 62 AND CENTRAL COLLEGE. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SHUTTLE STOPS OF FOR THE SHUTTLE PROGRAM THAT DROP PEOPLE OFF HAVE A COVERED PLACE TO DROP PEOPLE OFF AND PICK PEOPLE UP. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER PROJECTS THAT REMAIN OUTSTANDING. THAT COULD BE USED TO THAT COULD UTILIZE THIS FUND SO WE WEREN'T NECESSARILY, UM, MAKE THIS A REGULAR PRACTICE JUST FOR THE SAKE OF CAPTURING FUNDS. WE WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE THERE WAS AN ADEQUATE JUSTIFICATION FOR IT, UH, IN ORDER TO SUPPORT FUTURE CAPITAL PROJECTS, AND THEN THE OTHER FACTOR IS THE WELL BEING OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE TOWNSHIP SO THIS WOULD NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT EITHER OF THOSE ENTITIES. 
          SO JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, IF WE EVER DID DO THIS AND REALIZE WE COULDN'T COME UP WITH SOME PROJECTS THAT MADE SENSE THAT QUALIFIED UNDER THE TIFF TO USE THE FUNDS. WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE FUNDS? YOU CAN TERMINATE IT? YOU HAVE A CHARMING THAT YOU WOULD TERMINATE EARLY. OKAY I THINK IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THOUGH, JOE, UM THAT AREA THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED THAT CENTRAL COLLEGE KITZMILLER, UM 62. I MEAN, THAT'S DEFINITELY AN AREA THAT WE NEED TO RELOOK AT. IT'S PROBABLY TIME TO LOOK AT THAT AGAIN AS FAR AS WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH THAT WHOLE SECTION. UM THANK YOU ONCE CALLED IT. YOU SHARE WITH ME THE TRIANGLE AREA, SO I THINK FOR THIS PARTICULAR LEGISLATION THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. ANY MORE QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL. OKAY THERE'S NOTHING FURTHER THAN I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND SET THIS MATTER FOR SECOND READING IN PUBLIC HEARING DID ADOPT HIS EMERGENCY AGENCY BECAUSE IT'S AN EMERGENCY. YEP OH, APOLOGIZE. DOES THAT MEAN THAT I COULD GO OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AS WELL? THEN RIGHT, SO WE WILL OPEN THE FLOOR FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ORDINANCE. NO NO. WE CAN MOVE TO ADOPT HIS EMERGENCY WITHOUT PUBLIC HEARING. GO FROM THERE. OKAY ALL RIGHT, WELL WITH IF THERE IS NO MORE QUESTIONS, THEN WOULD ANYBODY WANT LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION ON THIS ORDINANCE? DON'T MOVE TO ADAPT 0109 2023 SECONDS. COUNCIL MEMBER BRISK YES. TROUT COUNCIL MEMBER SHOP. YES YES, REMEMBER DEREK? YES YES, PHONE STOOD AT 109 2023. OKAY MOVING ON TO ORDINANCE 01 1020 23.

AND THEN AGAIN IN THE CONTEXT, YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE RED SQUARE THERE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN. THIS APPLICATION ESSENTIALLY REVERTS THIS PROPERTY BACK TO ITS HISTORICAL ZONING CATEGORY OF L G E, WHICH IS LIMITED GENERAL EMPLOYMENT. THE SITE WAS PREVIOUSLY ZONED LG UNTIL 2021 CORNERSTONE ACADEMY REZONED THE PROPERTY I P U D TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SCHOOL CAMPUS. SINCE THAT TIME, THE CORNERSTONE ACADEMY HAS RECEIVED CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO OPERATE THEIR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL AT THE MAKEUP, ONE IN TWO BUILDINGS , WHICH IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO, UM URBAN THE PROXIMITY OF THAT, UM OF THAT SITE, THEIR EXISTING BUILDINGS HERE THAT WE CALL THE PLUG AND PLAY BUILDINGS.

OTHERWISE THIS ORDINANCE MAY BE SET FOR SECOND READING ON JANUARY 2ND. OKAY ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL MR ANDRIY HOLD? IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD LOANS? OKAY, I'LL OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC? OKAY THIS ONE RUN STRAIGHT TO SECOND READING SECOND READING, SO I'M NOT GOING TO THE PUBLIC. OKAY OKAY. NOW WE'RE ON SO MM HMM. TO MOVE ON AND HAVE NOTHING FURTHER FROM COUNCIL. NO QUESTIONS. THEN WE WILL SET THE MATTER FOR SECOND READING OF PUBLIC HEARING AT OUR JANUARY 2ND COUNCIL MEETING. YEP. RESOLUTIONS AND PUBLIC HEARING RESOLUTION ARE 54 2023 A 
          [11. RESOLUTIONS AND PUBLIC HEARING]
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ACTUALLY KEEP THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE 2014 LEASE AGREEMENT AND 2023 AMENDED OPERATING AGREEMENT WITH HEALTHY NEW ALBANY. GOOD STUFF. THANK YOU. MM HMM. I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION YOU WOULD REQUIRE AFTER PATTY'S PRESENTATION, BUT JUST AGAIN, A REMINDER THAT THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH HEALTHY NEW ALBANY WAS ORIGINALLY BASED ON THEIR OUTFITTING OF THE SPACE AND THE OFFERING OF COMMUNITY PROGRAMS RELATED TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS. THAT THOSE PROGRAMS ORIGINALLY INCLUDED THE SENIOR CONNECTIONS PROGRAM, WHICH WAS FUNDED THROUGH GRANTS FROM OR BY THE CITY. AND THAT PROGRAM HAS SINCE BEEN, UM INTEGRATED UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF THE CITY AND IS OPERATED NOW BY CITY STAFF. OH AND AS A RESULT OF THAT CHANGE, WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO INVEST MORE IN THE PROGRAM AND EXPAND THE PROGRAM. UH WHAT THIS WOULD DO IS PROVIDE A RENT HOLIDAY. TWO HEALTHY NEW ALBANY IN ORDER TO, UM REORGANIZED AND THREE. RECONFIGURE THEIR PROGRAMS. IT ALSO PROVIDES THE CITY A CLEARER. A CLEARER SET OF, UM EXPECTATIONS OR RULES THAT WOULD BE APPLIED FOR SENIOR CONNECTIONS. ACCESS TO THE HEALTHY, PROBABLY SITE. THE CURRENT OPERATING AGREEMENT BASICALLY RESTRICTS CITY ACCESS OR LIMITS CITY ACCESS FOR PROGRAMS TO A SMALLER PART OF THE BUILDING. THIS WOULD GIVE US EXPANDED ACCESS TO LARGER AREA OF THE BUILDING AND MORE FREQUENT DAYS AND MORE FREQUENT TIMES OF THE DAY. SO THERE IS A BENEFIT TO THE CITY AS WELL AS BENEFITS AND HEALTHY NEW ALBANY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS, THAT WE WOULD INTEND TO WORK WITH HEALTHY NEW ALBANY TO OBTAIN CAPITAL GRANTS FROM NONPROFITS TO HELP SUPPORT THE RESTORATION 
          [00:50:06]
OF THE TAILOR HOMESTEAD, WHICH. HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN CONTEMPLATED AS A THIRD PHASE OF THE TERROR PARK PROJECT. I CAN ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE COUNSEL. ANY QUESTIONS COUNCIL? NO, I'LL JUST I'LL JUST SAY THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, ORIGINALLY I WAS THINKING THAT THE ONE YEAR WOULD BE BETTER THAN THE THREE. BUT HAVING LISTENED TO PATTY. AND LOOKING AT OBVIOUSLY THE THREE YEARS GOING PAST THE ELECTION HERE. I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE FOR US TO TAKE ACTION TODAY ON THIS AND ALSO HER AGREEMENT IN A BIANNUAL OR ANNUAL REPORT TO COUNCIL REALLY TAKES CARE OF ALL THOSE CONCERNS THAT I HAD SO VERY SUPPORTIVE OF IT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? UM I MEAN, HEALTHY NEW ALBANESE SYNONYMOUS WITH THE CITY AND ARE, YOU KNOW, CORE MISSION WITH WHAT WE LIKE TO DO SO I FEEL COMFORTABLE GIVING THEM THE ADEQUATE RUNWAY TWO. BE SOLVED AND MAKE IT WORK. SO I'M GOOD, BUT FOR THREE YEARS I AM ALSO, I THINK THAT THEY DO A LOT OF IMPORTANT WORK AND I FEEL THE POSTURE OF THEIR REQUEST GIVEN YOU KNOW THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO BE TRANSPARENT WITH WHAT THEY ARE DOING WITH THE MONEY AND THEY ARE WORKING TO BE SELF SUSTAINING. UM MAKES ME VERY COMFORTABLE TO PROVE A THREE YEAR I'LL JUST SAY THAT I CONCUR. I WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DOING A THREE YEAR COMMITMENT WITHOUT FURTHER INFORMATION, BUT AFTER SOME CONVERSATION AND INFORMATION AND THE PRESENTATION THIS EVENING, I THINK THAT UH, HEALTHY TO ALBANY CLEARLY IS GOING TO BE MAKING A LOT OF CHANGES IN DOING A LOT OF HARD WORK, AND I THINK THEY CERTAINLY DESERVE TO AS OUR PARTNER TO BE GIVEN THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. AND I AGREE WITH THAT'S LONG, WHICH IS THAT WE WILL AT THAT WAS REPORTS WHICH MAKES ME FEEL MUCH BETTER THAN IT'S NOT JUST PUT OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND FOR THREE YEARS, SO I FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE WITH IT. YEAH. OKAY AH, IS THERE A MOTION TO PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THE EVOLUTION FOR THE RESOLUTION? I WILL OPEN THIS. NOT DO THAT RIGHT ONE TIME TONIGHT AND OKAY, I WILL OPEN THIS UP FOR PUBLIC HEARING THE EMERGENCY. I CAN'T GET IT RIGHT. YEAH I'M OPENING UP FOR PUBLIC HEARING.

AS A REMINDER IN AUGUST OF 2023 COUNCIL ADOPTED ORDINANCE 0 79 2023, WHICH ESTABLISHED THE HAMLET AT SUGAR RUN COMMUNITY ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT, AS YOU WILL RECALL THAT ALLOWS THEM TO GET ADDITIONAL LIQUOR LICENSES.

ORDINATES 0 81 2023 WAS SUBMITTED TO FRANKLIN COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS ON NOVEMBER 14 AND BALLOT LANGUAGE WAS FINALIZED IN NOVEMBER. 17 AFTER SUBMISSION OF THE ORDINANCE, THE FRANKLIN COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS RESPONDED, INDICATING THAT THE AREA CONTAINING THE HAMLET AT SUGAR RUN CED, IT'S NOT COMPLETELY DRY. IT'S RATHER MOSTLY WET THE APPLICATION, THE APPLICANT SUBMITS THAT THE WET STATUS OF THE AREA CONTAINING THE SUGAR AND CED MEANS THAT THE BALLOT QUESTION IS NO LONGER NECESSARY. THE APPLICANTS REQUESTING THAT COUNCIL ADOPTS RESOLUTION AND RESCIND SECTION ONE OF ORDINANCE 0 81 2023, WHICH IS THE BALLOT QUESTION, AND WE WOULD SEND THE ORDINANCE ON THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS. TO WITHDRAW THE BALLOT QUESTION. WE HAVE TO DO THIS BY DECEMBER 20 AT FOUR PM, WHICH IS TOMORROW? WE BELIEVE SO THAT IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE MARCH 1920 24 BALLOTS SHOULD COUNSEL GO THAT DIRECTION STAFF DOES NOT TAKE A POSITION ON THIS RESOLUTION. MR TEMBEC HOLD FROM BORIS FIRM IS HERE TO ANSWER COUNSEL'S QUESTIONS ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANTS ANYTHING THAT YOU 
          [00:55:03]
WANTED TO ADD TO THAT BEFORE WE START DISCUSSION. BASICALLY, THE . INFORMATION THAT THE AREA WAS MOSTLY WET WAS NOT RECEIVED UNTIL AFTER THE PREVIOUS ORDINANCE HAD BEEN ADOPTED AND SUBMITTED, AND THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT UNDONE IS TO ASK YOU TO PASS THIS RESOLUTION TO UNDO IT. SO WE'RE NOT HOLDING AN ELECTION THAT ISN'T NECESSARY. UNDERSTOOD THANK YOU THINK WE CAN DO IT BY FOUR O'CLOCK TOMORROW? YOU CAN VOTE. WE SHOULD TABLE IT QUESTION SHADED AREA UP THERE ON THE SCREEN.

OKAY THE OTHER SIDE OF THE OTHER SIDE. LET'S START AT THE ROAD IS IN A DIFFERENT THAT'S A HAPPY THAT IT WAS IN 1996 OKAY, IMPORTANT AREA THAT WE THAT THE DEVELOPER IS ANTICIPATING. USING FOR THE NO.

THERE'S NOTHING THAT REPORTS OF REPRESENTATIVES LIVING UNDER REPORTS OF REPRESENTATIVES COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE TO MORPH SEEN. AH MR STEPHANE OFF. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A REPORT THIS EVENING? YES. THANK YOU. SO I WAS NOMINATED FOR ANOTHER ONE YEAR TERM TO SERVE ON MARX'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, AS WELL AS REPRESENTING THE CITY AND THE COMMISSION. ALSO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, REPORTED THAT BOTH OF THE MORE BUSY. THESE ARE JOINT APPLICATIONS, BUT MORE BOTH OF THE MORE PC APPLICATIONS REGARDING RAILROAD MASS TRANSIT WERE APPROVED BY THE FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION. I THINK THIS HAS GOT SOME PUBLIC ATTENTION AND MEDIA. THIS WOULD INCLUDE THE THREE C AND D ROUTE, WHICH IS COLUMBUS, CLEVELAND, CINCINNATI AND DAYTON. ALSO THE PITTSBURGH TO CHICAGO WAS STOPS IN LIMA AND FORT WAYNE ROUTE WAS APPROVED THAT WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FEDERAL FUNDS FOR FUTURE OR FURTHER STUDY ABOUT THE FEASIBILITY OF THESE ROUTES ALSO INCLUDED, UH AND, UM, FUTURE PLANNING ARE A DETROIT TOLEDO 
          [01:00:06]
CLEVELAND ROUTE, AND THIS WOULD BE THINK CHICAGO IS INCLUDED IN THAT ONE. AND THEN A. I'M SORRY, OR CHICAGO WASHINGTON, D C WOULD BE A SECOND POTENTIAL ROUTE. UH THE PROCESS FOR FURTHER STUDY WILL TAKE ABOUT 18 TO 36 MONTHS AND MORE PEOPLE BE FORMING A COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE DETAILS. 
          THERE SHOULD BE THREE PHASES. THIS NEXT PHASE WILL BE 100% FUNDED THROUGH A FEDERAL GRANT IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THE SCOPE AND, UM, PROCEED WITH THE PLANNING PROCESS. UM MORRISSEY HAS LAUNCHED ITS DRIVE INVESTMENT PORTAL. THIS WAS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORTED ON THIS SO THERE IT'S A RESOURCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO OBTAIN INFORMATION ON GRANTS THROUGH VARIOUS GOVERNMENTAL AND NONPROFIT ENTITIES. ALSO THEY REPORTED THAT THEIR RESIDENTIAL SERVICES FUNCTION HAS REDUCED ITS WAITING TIME FOR HOME WEATHERIZATION AND HOME REPAIR. 
          BY ABOUT THE THIRD. THEY HAD 300 FAMILIES AND THEY'RE WAITING QUEUE FOR WEATHERIZATION PROJECTS THAT'S BEEN REDUCED BY A THIRD AND THEY HOPE TO GET THAT. REDUCED EVEN FURTHER NEXT YEAR. THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL AND HAS SOME VERY POSITIVE IMPACTS ON POOR NEIGHBORHOODS IN IN THE CENTRAL OHIO AREA. THEY ARE KICKING OFF THEIR ANGEL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. 
          THEY HAVE OPENED THE PROCESS FOR APPLICATIONS. UM ALSO ON JANUARY 31ST NEW ALL NEW ALBANY WILL BE HOSTING MORE FC'S NORTHEAST REGIONAL AREA MEETING, SO THIS WOULD INCLUDE ALL THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FROM THE NORTHEAST AREA OF THE MARKET. SEE UH, BODY OR MEMBERSHIP AND THAT WILL BE HELD AT BELIEVE IT SAID. THE CHURCH OF THE RESURRECTION ON MARCH 15TH. THEY WILL BE HOSTING THE ANNUAL STATE OF THE REGION EVENT, WHICH WILL BE AT THE DOWNTOWN HILTON ON HIGH STREET AND THAT WILL BE FROM 11 A.M. TO 1 P.M. IT'S A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, BUT WE CAN START TO SEE IF, UM COUNSELORS AVAILABLE TO ATTEND AND HOW MANY. HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEMPT WILL PROBABLY START TO RAMP THAT UP RIGHT AFTER THE HOLIDAYS. AND THEN, UM, HE'S ALSO INVOLVED IN A REGIONAL WATER STUDY TO ATTEMPT TO DEVELOP A, UH REGIONAL PLAN FOR WATER AND SEWER UTILITIES IN THE AREAS AROUND THE GREATER COLUMBUS SO THIS WOULD INCLUDE LICKING COUNTY AND ELSEWHERE, AND THE IDEA IS TO COME UP WITH A COMPREHENSIVE INTEGRATED PLAN FOR THE PROVISION OF WATER AND SERVICE SERVICES. UM, FINALLY. THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN IS UNDER REVIEW. THE DRAFT OF THE PLAN IS DUE BY FEBRUARY, THERE'LL BE AN OPEN HOUSE ON MARCH 19TH, AND THEY EXPECT ADOPTION IN MAY OF NEXT YEAR. THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT IT'S IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED FOR FEDERAL OR STATE GRANTS. YOU NEED TO BE LISTED ON THIS METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN . AND IN ORDER TO BE ON THE PLAN, YOU HAVE TO MOVE CERTAIN CRITERIA THAT ARE THAT ARE ESTABLISHED BY THE FIND MORE FSI RELATIVE. TO COMPLETE STREETS THAT WOULD INCLUDE CYCLING AND PEDESTRIANS. AND SO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FACTORS THAT ARE INVOLVED AND WHEN PROJECTS ARE RATED FOR CONSIDERATION ON THIS, UM UM LIST OF APPROVED PROJECTS. I THINK THAT'S IT. OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'LL MOVE ON TO COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE TO JOINT PARKS AND RECREATION COUNCIL NEVER SHOWED YOU DON'T HAVE AN UPDATE MEETING. OKAY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES PLAYING LOCAL SCHOOLS, MR. KISSED AND UPDATES. 
          THERE WAS A MEETING ON DECEMBER 11TH FAIRLY SHORT MEETING. UM SEAN SENATE BILL 288, WHICH IS KNOWN AS ERIN'S LAW. AH WHICH IS SEXUAL ABUSE PREVENTION. THEY'RE GOING TO ROLL OUT SOME PROGRAMMING TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR THAT THEY SENT SOME NOTIFICATIONS OUTPUT. PARENTS AND YOU CAN OPT OUT SO CHOOSE, BUT SO THAT'LL BE COMING. AH PROBABLY FIRST QUARTER NEXT YEAR. THEY TOUCHED ON THE STUDENT BELONGINGS WERE VERY TOUCHING ON A WHILE BACK. THEY SENT SURVEYS OUT TO EVERY STUDENT IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. I THINK THEY HAD AROUND 88% RESPONSE RATE. GRADES ACROSS ALL GRADES FIRST THROUGH 12. SO YOU KNOW THE DATA. UH, OVERALL, 
          [01:05:10]
STUDENTS FEEL ACCEPTED PART OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. I FEEL, UH, LIKE IT'S A MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCE. UM YOU CAN GET ON. THEY HAVE A DASHBOARD SPECIFIC LINK TO THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY. AND IT IS A BRAND NEW WEBSITE FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. MUCH BETTER PERSONALLY, THAT I DIDN'T CARE FOR THE OLD WEBSITE. IT WAS HARD TO NAVIGATE AND FIND WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR. BUT I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO BEST RUN WITH THE NEW AND A WHOLE LOT YET. BUT IF YOU HAVE SOME TIME THAT THE DATA ON THE BELONGING SURVEYS PRETTY INTERESTING AND TRENDING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 
          UM THE WEBSITE FOR THE WHOLE DISTRICT DISTRICT. APPLE'S WEBSITE. YEAH, COMPLETELY REVAMPED. UM AND THE LAST SIGHTING BUSINESS, IT WAS FILLED ARROWS. LAST COUNCIL MEETING. UM HE SERVED FOR EIGHT YEARS AND, UH AH WILL BE REPLACED COMING HERE, BUT THAT WAS. FAIRLY SHORT MEETING AS FAR AS SCHOOL BOARD. YES. OKAY THANK YOU. COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE TO PLAIN TOWNSHIP COUNCIL MEMBER JERK. A COUPLE OF MEETINGS. UH, TO REPORT ON ONE ANATOMY EATING, BUT ON THIS PAST SATURDAY, THEY HAD WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA. WHERE THE BOY SCOUTS AND A LOT OF VOLUNTEERS, INCLUDING MEMBERS, SEVERAL MEMBERS FROM COUNCIL HERE, ASSISTED IN PLACING WREATHS ON THE GRAVES OF ALL THE VETERANS AT THE BIG BOARD CEMETERY. IT'S THE SECOND YEAR THAT WE'VE DONE THAT. AND AS YOU MAY KNOW, WE PAY FOR PART OF THE COST ALONG WITH THE TOWNSHIP SO THAT EVERY VETERAN HAS A READ AND IT WAS BETTER ATTENDED THIS YEAR AS THE SECOND TIME AROUND, AND IT WENT VERY WELL. THE THERE WERE TWO REGULAR MEETINGS FOR THE TOWNSHIP. ONE WAS TO REVIEW THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. IT WAS A THINK WELL DONE OVERVIEW OF THEIR STRATEGIC PLAN. THEY BASICALLY BROKE THE STRATEGIC PLAN APPLIED PRIMARY AREAS OF SAVING LIVES PROTECTING PROPERTY PREPARING FOR GROWTH. WORKING EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY AND ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY. AND TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF THE ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS AND ALL THOSE AREAS SOME OF THE KEY INDICATORS THAT THEY LOOK AT OBVIOUSLY BEYOND NUMBERS OF RUNS HIS RESPONSE TIME AND THEY BREAK THAT INTO THREE CATEGORIES. ONE IS THE MEASURE OF THE FIRST TIME IS WHEN A CALL COMES IN AND WHEN TO DISPATCH YOUR HANDS IT OFF TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. SECOND MEASURE IS FROM THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RECEIVES THAT TO THE TIME THE TRUCK IS OUTDOOR, THAT'S THEIR TURNOUT TIMES AND THEN AT REST IS TRAVELED TO THE LOCATION, THE ONLY ELEMENT THAT IS TOTALLY WITHIN THE CONTROL OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS THE TURNOUT TIME FROM THE TIME THEY GET THE CALL, SO THE TRUCKS OUT THE DOOR WHEN THEY'RE ON THE ROAD. DIRECT THE MERCY OF TRAFFIC AND SOME OTHER CONDITIONS AND HOW LONG THEY GET THE CALL IN. GENERALLY, THEY RUN VERY WELL TO NORMAL STANDARDS. THERE'S A COUPLE OF AREAS IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THEIR AREA THAT ARE HARDER TO REACH, AND THEY RUN A LITTLE BIT SLOWER IN TERMS OF RESPONSE TIME, MAINLY BECAUSE BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC TIME INTERNAL TIME. AND THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT WHERE THEY MAY NEED AN ADDITIONAL LOCATION TO BE A LITTLE RESPOND AND GET THAT DOWN TO ACCEPTABLE LEVEL. THEY ALSO TALKED ABOUT VOLUME INCREASES GMT CALLS TO ASSISTED LIVING HAS SKYROCKETED FOR THEM IN 2020. 
          THEY HAD 125 CALLS IN 2022. THEY HAD 340 BUCKS CALLS SO ESSENTIALLY THE ADDITION OF ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES AND THERE WILLINGNESS TO QUICKLY AND, UH QUICKLY CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS SUPPOSED TO HANDLING SOME THINGS INTERNALLY HAS PUT INCREASED PRESSURE ON THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. SO ALL IN ALL A GOOD PLAN AND WELL ATTENDED AT THEIR NORMAL MEETING , WHICH OCCURRED RIGHT AFTER THAT. THEY APPROVED A NEW REPRESENTATIVE TO SWAY CO. TWO THIS WACO BOARD RON GROSSMAN, WHO'S THE FISCAL OFFICER FROM JACKSON TOWNSHIP. THE TOWNSHIPS ALL GET TOGETHER AND THEY SELECT ONE REPRESENTATIVES, AND THAT'S THE PERSON THAT WAS SELECTED FOR THIS WEEK OVERBOARD. UM CEMETERY HAS HAD A MASTER PLAN. IT'S PRIMARILY BEEN A LANDSCAPING PLAN, AND I THINK WE'VE TALKED BEFORE ABOUT COLLABORATION AND ASH GARDEN THAT THEY WOULD PUT DEVELOPED IN THE FUTURE. THEY ARE REACHING OUT TO OH ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN THAT CAN DO MORE MASTER PLAN AS WELL AS A BUILDING PLAN AND MAGIC MANAGED BUILDING PROJECTS. SHOULD THEY GO FORWARD WITH THIS? AS OPPOSED TO THE LANDSCAPING FROM THERE USING THEY'VE USED BEFORE. IS 
          [01:10:08]
THERE WAS A PROPERTY 10 998 JOHNSTOWN ROAD DECLARED A NUISANCE. UH THE THROUGH DEBRIS IN THEIR FRONT YARD. LET IT STACK UP. THEY WERE INSTRUCTED BY THE TOWNSHIP TO CLEAN IT UP. 
          THE INTERNS THAT FLIGHT SET IT ON FIRE, INCLUDING MATTRESSES, WHICH IS AN E P A VIOLATION. AND THE DEBRIS CONTINUE TO BE ACCUMULATED, AND THEY'RE NOW FACING ACTION TO CLEAN IT UP AND HAVE A CALLED HEART CARTED AWAY, BUT IT'S DECLARED A PUBLIC NUISANCE. SORT OF INTERESTING. 
          FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THAT. AND THAT IS IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JUST GOING BACK TO READ ACROSS AMERICA JUST BRIEFLY. THE BOY SCOUTS. THAT KIND OF RAN THE SHOW. MHM. FANTASTIC JOB. YES. I THINK THERE WERE 580, WHICH I WOULD HAVE NEVER GUESSED THAT. THAT'S HOW MANY VETERANS ARE BURIED AT MAPLEWOOD. THEY READ EVERY VETERAN'S NAME. THEY RANG THE BELL. THEY PLAYED TAPS WHEN IT WAS DONE. UH SO VERY WELL ORGANIZED IN A REALLY COOL THAT WE WANTED. I THINK 600 COMMUNITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY THAT ARE DOING THIS SO IT DOES CITIZEN PART THROUGH IS THERE IS A AROUND DO WE KNOW IF IT IS IT JUST AROUND THE HOLIDAYS? THIS WEATHER CHOOSING THIS TIME OF YEAR THIS STATE COMPANY NEW ENGLAND NORTHEAST AREA WHO STARTED THIS AND I'M REMISS I DON'T KNOW THEIR NAME, BUT ESSENTIALLY, THEY PRODUCE ALL OF THESE WREATHS THAT GO ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND THEY DID A TIME AND VETERANS. AND THE COST OF THE REEFS IS VERY MINIMAL. IT'S BASICALLY THE COST THAT TAKES THEM TO PRODUCE THEM AND SHIP THEM OUT. AND THEY DO IT BECAUSE THAT'S THEIR MISSION. IT'S NOT THEIR ONLY BUSINESS, BUT IT'S ONE THAT THEY HAVE CHOSEN THIS TIME. I DO THINK THE TIMING IS RELATED ON THE HOLIDAYS. YEAH SURE.

          THERE'S BEEN SOME INFLATION'S SINCE 1997. AND I THINK COUNCIL SHOULD CONSIDER BRINGING THAT UP A LITTLE BIT, WHETHER YOU WANT IT TO BE A HARD NUMBER OR WHETHER YOU WANT IT TO BE A LITTLE SQUISHY. ER UH, THAT WE HAVE SOME LANGUAGE THAT'S USED FOR STAFF THAT BASICALLY SAYS NO MORE THAN THE MOST RECENT OHIO ETHICS COMMISSION RULING, ALTHOUGH HAVING A HARD NUMBER IS A LITTLE EASIER TO EVALUATE. SO THINK ABOUT THAT, UM, WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT SOME MORE.
