[7. BOARD/COMMISSION REPORTS]
ALRIGHT SEE NO TAKERS WILL GO TO THE BOARDING COMMISSION REPORTS AND THE UPDATE FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION. YES THERE WAS A MEETING ON JANUARY 17TH THE HAINES THE COURTYARDS HANDS CREEK FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN WAS TABLED, SO WE HOPE TO SEE THAT SOON. THERE WERE FOUR CASES. UM THE FIRST WAS A RINK IN, UH REDUCTION OF SETBACK OF VARIANCE , UM, WHICH WAS TABLE UM I THINK TABLE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO RESUBMIT THEIR APPLICATION. THERE WAS, UM THEY WANTED A 30 FT. SET BACKWARD. THE CODE WOULD REQUIRE 200 FT FOR, UM, STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. AND UH, DECIDED TO TABLE AFTER DISCUSSION. THERE WAS ANOTHER CASE OF 7823 CALVERTON SQUARE, WHICH IS IN THE RESERVE. WHERE THE HOMEOWNERS HAD A PURCHASED A HOUSE AND THEY HAD AN PATIO PAVER PATIO THAT WAS IN THE CONSERVATION AREA IN THE REAR YARD. PATIO HAD BEEN IN PLACE SINCE THE 19 NINETIES, AND THE OWNER BOUGHT IT WITHOUT NOT KNOWING IT WAS MY CONSERVATION AREA. ANYWAY, THERE WAS A THEY WANTED TO, UH, PUTTING UH, FIREPLACE ON TOP OF THE FAVOR AREA AND ALSO TO ALLOW THE PAPER AREAS TO REMAIN. THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED TO ALLOW THE PAVERS TO REMAIN BUT VOTED 3 TO 2 TO 3 AGAINST HAVING THE FIREPLACE BEAT BUILT ONTO THE PAVERS. UM AS I UNDERSTAND IT THIS CASE IT'S ABLE TO COME BEFORE COUNCIL, AS SHOULD THE HOMEOWNER DECIDED TO PURSUE IT FURTHER. UM WE ALSO HEARD THE APPLICATION FOR OAKLAND NURSERY TO RESOUND TO BE I, P D. UM THERE'S A ROBUST DISCUSSION AND SCREENING REQUIREMENTS TO PROTECT NEIGHBORS FROM LIGHTS IN THE PARKING LOTS. UM, AND THEN, FINALLY, THERE WAS A VARIANCE IN THE 7113 ARMS COAT END. TO ALLOW ARTIFICIAL TURF AROUND A POOL INSTEAD OF NATURAL GRASS WITH THIS MATERIAL, WHICH YOU GUYS CAN SEE IT, THERE WAS IT'S AN INTERESTING MATERIAL. WE HAD A LONG DISCUSSION ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF ARTIFICIAL TURF, AND THAT, UM, PASSED FROM THE FRONT MISSION. AND THAT IS IT GOES AROUND THE POOL. IT GOES AROUND THE POOL. SO YEAH, THE CONCERN[00:10:06]
HOMER CONCERN WAS THAT THEY HAD LITTLE KIDS. THEY HAVE A POOL. OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S A FENCE AROUND THE POOL, BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE GRASS BE ABLE TO GET WET. UH WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WERE GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE POOL, SO INSTEAD THEY'RE DOING THIS, UM, GRASS, WHICH NO ONE NO MINE. UM AND, UH WE'RE GONNA TRY IT ABOUT DIRECTLY UP AGAINST THEM. IT WILL ABOUT DIRECTLY UP AGAINST THE POOL. AND IF I WERE ACTUALLY, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S TRUE. THERE MIGHT BE A PAVEMENT AROUND IT, AND THEN IT WILL BE AGAINST BUT THERE WILL BE NO GRASS IN THE INTERIM BETWEEN THE PAVEMENT AND THE PULLING THEM IN THE WHOLE DECK IS ACTUALLY RAISED FROM THE REST OF THE BACKYARD. SO IT MEANS FROM IF YOU'RE SENDING IN THEIR CAREER SETBACK AND ON THE GOLF COURSE VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THIS GRASS. EXACTLY. THERE WAS A CLIFF. YEAH THEY WERE DESCRIBING ABOUT 5. FT YEAH, DRAMA. UM I KNOW WE'VE DISCUSSED THAT TYPE OF MATERIAL IN THE PAST DIFFERENT RESIDENTIAL SETTINGS. I EVEN THINK HAYNES CROSSING HAS AN ELEMENT OF THE THERE MAY BE UTILIZED IN THAT SETTING HIS STAFF EVALUATING WHAT TYPES OF ARTIFICIAL CURVE MAY OR MAY NOT BE UTILIZED, OR HOW DO WE I JUST I JUST I CAN SEE THIS BEING LIKE THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD OVER A PERIOD OF TIME WITH FULL COVERS, WHERE WE WANTED TO SORT OF SETTLE IN ON A STANDARD WITH THE FENCING. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE FENCING. THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING TOO. YEAH SORRY. UM, IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION AS A STAFF. CERTAINLY THE FIRST TIME WE'VE SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS FROM AN APPLICANT, AND SO IT'S CAUSE DEATH TO ADD TO ONE OF OUR LIST OF PROJECTS TO REALLY JUST VALUE. WITH THIS AND KIND OF SEE IF WE NEED TO PUT SOME STANDARDS AROUND IT OR RECOMMENDATIONS AROUND HOW WE YOU KNOW WHETHER IT'S ACCEPTABLE OR NOT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, AND WHERE WAS MY MEMORY? CORRECT, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY AVAILABLE IN THE UPCOMING COMMUNITIES AS WITHIN THE BACKYARDS. STEPHEN AND I WERE DISCUSSING THAT. YEAH APOLOGIZE. NOT SURE THAT'S OKAY. I THINK THAT THERE IS. I THINK IT WAS PART OF THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE UP CON COMMUNITIES FOR IN THEIR COURTYARD IN THE COURTYARD IN THE IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL INDIVIDUAL COURTYARDS. YEAH. FOR DOG WALKING PURPOSES, SO OKAY, THIS SEEMS TO BE A REALLY HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT AND I FEEL LIKE IT LOOKS JUST LIKE GRASS. LOOKS LIKE GRASS FROM HERE. YEAH OR NO. THANKS CRAZY. I GUESS THE ONLY OTHER ISSUE I WOULD HAVE IS, THERE'S GOTTA BE SOME LEVEL OF INSPECTION, JUST LIKE THE POOL COVERS. WHATEVER THE INDUSTRY'S ENTERED, WOULD BE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MATERIAL IS STILL AND YOU KNOW, GOOD REPAIR. UM BUT MAYBE STAFF TO TACKLE OUT AT SOME POINT. ALRIGHT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC MINISTRY REPORT? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. PARKS AND TRAILS MR. FELLOWES IS NOT HERE. I DON'T KNOW IF STAFF HAS ANY UPDATES ALRIGHT ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD MEETING. ZONING APPEALS MEETING SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD MEETING IDEA IMPLEMENTATION PANEL. NO MEETING .

IF YOU WANT TO BRING A FAMILY, IT'S MAXIMUM COST OF $20, AND THAT INCLUDES BREAD AND SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS TO ENJOY YOUR SOUP WITH GREAT ASKED TO REMIND COUNSEL IF YOU'RE GOING TO PLEASE WEAR YOUR NAME TAGS, SINCE PART OF THE PURPOSE OF THE NORMALLY ONE ON ONE IS TO CONNECT PEOPLE WITH GOVERNMENT, SO DEFINITELY IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS AS A MEMBER OF GOVERNMENT THEY CAN TALK TO.

CONCERNS. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARING ORGANS. OO TO 2024 AND ORDINANCE TWO MEN CHAPTERS 183.2193. 0.011187 0.081187 0.09. 1187.1 10 AND 1187 OF THE CITY OF NEW OPENING OHIO'S CLARIFIED ORDINANCES TO REMOVE REFERENCES TO COUNCIL STANDING COMMITTEES AND UPDATE CITY STATUS AS REQUESTED BY THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS. EXCUSE ME, UM, JUST REMINDING YOU THAT AT YOUR ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING, YOU VOTED TO REMOVE THE COUNCIL STANDING COMMITTEES FROM YOUR RULES OF PROCEDURE BECAUSE MOST OF THEM KNOW NOT ALL HAD HAD CONVENED A MEETING IN A LONG TIME. THIS ORDINANCE GOES THROUGH THE CITY CODE AND STRIKES REFERENCES TO THOSE VARIOUS STANDING COMMITTEES. SO THOSE COMMITTEE CHAIRS NO LONGER HAVE TO SIGN MY LAWYERS AND THAT SORT OF THING. AND WHILE WE'RE IN THERE, WE DID A LITTLE UPDATING FROM VILLAGE TO CITY. THOSE REFERENCES AND THAT'S IT. HOUSEKEEPING AS THEY USED TO SAY, YEAH, ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE? OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. WHAT? ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE SPEAK REGARDING ORDINANCE 002 2024. HEARING NO PUBLIC COMMENT. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDNANCE OO TO 2024 2ND MAYOR SPAULDING YES. TROUT COUNCIL MEMBER BREAST? YES COUNCIL MEMBER, DEREK? YES, YES, YES, YES, YES. VOTES TO ADAPT ORDINANCE 02 2024 INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES COORDINATES OO 3 2024. IN ORDER[10. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES]
TO DETERMINE THE ANNUAL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND ADDITIONAL SALARY FOR THE MAYOR, PRESIDENT PRO TEM OR DESIGNATED COUNCIL MEMBER PRESIDING OVER MAYOR'S COURT NUMBER MHM SECTION 4.04. THE CITY'S CHARTER ALLOWS COUNCIL BY ORDINANCE TO ANNUALLY DETERMINE YOUR COMPENSATION. YOU CAN DO IT ONE TIME PER YEAR. YOU CAN'T DO IT BY EMERGENCY. SO HERE WE ARE, UM, SALARIES FOR THE MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND PRESIDENT PRO TEM OR COUNCIL DESIGNEES SERVING AS MAYORS COURT. THOSE SALARIES WERE LAST ADOPTED IN JANUARY 2023 AND THAT WAS 9 2023. THIS ORDINANCE WOULD INCREASE COUNCIL SALARY BY 3, WHICH IS THE SAME AS WHAT COUNCIL AWARDED CITY STAFF. UH AND THE ADJUSTED SALARY WILL BE AFFECTED. GENERATE 1 2024 THE MATH OF HOW THAT AFFECTS COUNCIL PAYCHECK IS IN THE LEGISLATIVE REPORT. UH IT'S NOT HUGE, BUT A LITTLE BIT LITTLE BIT HERE. THERE. AH THESE AMOUNTS WERE APPROPRIATED IN THE 2024 BUDGET.THIS ORDINANCE ALSO MAKES HEALTH INSURANCE AVAILABLE COUNCIL COUNCIL MEMBERS, AS DESCRIBED IN CITY CODE SECTION 1 55.19 8. AND COUNCIL WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO SIGN UP DURING OPEN ENROLLMENT IN OCTOBER. QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE. WE'LL SET THAT FOR A SECOND READING IN PUBLIC HEARING IN OUR MEETING ON FEBRUARY 20TH ORDINANCE OO 4 2024 NORTHERN'S TO ESTABLISH THE VILLAGE CENTER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND AND THEN CHARTER 181 INCOME TAX AND EXCUSE ME CHAPTER 181 INCOME TAX AND CHAPTER 187 FUNDS OF THE CITY OF ROBBERY. OHIO CODIFIED LAWRENCE'S, AS REQUESTED BY THE CITY OF MARBLE DIRECTOR STOTTS. THANK YOU MARRY THE CITY STAFF ANALYZE THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT NEEDS OF THE VILLAGE CENTER DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE 2024 BUDGET. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS A NEED TO FUND VARIOUS INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS WITHIN THE VILLAGE CENTER, BEGINNING WITH THE ROAD NETWORK EXTENSION IN 2024 IN ORDER TO FUND THOSE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS LISTED IN THE 2024 ANNUAL BUDGET PROGRAM, WE CREATED THE VILLAGE CENTER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND TO BE CONSIDERED THE ALLOCATION PROPOSED. THIS PARTICULAR FRIEND WOULD RECEIVE INCOME TAX. AND THE ALLOCATION PROPOSED IS THE ONE AND ONE HALF PERCENT OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL INCOME TAX COLLECTIONS, WHICH WILL COMMENCE WITH THE CITY'S FEBRUARY 2424 DISTRIBUTION THAT WE RECEIVED FROM RITA. IF YOU YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT RITA DISTRIBUTIONS ARE RECEIVED ONE MONTH IN A REAR. SO I FEBRUARY DISTRIBUTION WILL BE THE FIRST MONTH THAT WILL BE RECEIVING 2024 COLLECTIONS. AND THIS WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THE INTENDED EFFECTIVE DATE WOULD BE. THE LEGISLATION FORMALLY AUTHORIZES THE CREATION OF THE VILLAGE CENTER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND, AND THAT IS WHAT IS NEEDED, AS REQUIRED BY THE OHIO GUYS CODE, THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND, ACCORDING TO THE O. R C MAY BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF ACCUMULATING RESOURCES FOR THE ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION OR IMPROVEMENT OF FIXED ASSETS OF THE SUBDIVISION AND THE OHIO EVENT BY HIS CODE SECTION 5705 10. ALSO STATES THAT MONEY PAID INTO A FUND MUST
[00:20:01]
BE USED ONLY FOR THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH THEY SAID FUND WAS CREATED. SPECIFIC USES WILL BE EVALUATED EACH YEAR DURING THE BUDGET PREPARATION WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT CAPITAL AND IN ADDITION TO CREATING THE FUND, THIS LEGISLATION ALSO AUTHORIZES THE AMENDMENTS OF THE CODE CHANGES TO 181 AND 187, WHICH CREATES THE VILLAGE CENTER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND AND ALSO REALLOCATES THE INCOME TAX TO HAVING THE 1.5. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE. UM I THINK THE ONLY HEARTBURN THAT THAT COUNCIL HAD JUST IF YOU COULD REITERATE BETHANY, IF PROJECTS COME AND GO . WE DON'T FIND ANY THING THAT WE FIND APPROPRIATE OR WORTHWHILE TO USE THESE FUNDS FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM. SO AS PART OF IT WILL HIRE ADVICE CODE IN MY RESEARCH TO CREATE THIS, AND AS A REMINDER THAT I HAD FOR MYSELF ANY FUN THAT IS CREATED IF THAT FUND IF THE PURPOSE OF THAT FUND NO LONGER UM HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED, ESTABLISHED, OR THE FUNDS THAT ARE COLLECTED IN THAT FUND HAVE NO NEED. FOR THAT PURPOSE. IT COULD BE RETURNED BACK TO THE FUN THAT SENT FUNDS SO IT COULD BE RETURNED BACK TO THE GENERAL FUND. OKAY FUND OF ORIGIN. YES SORRY. YEAH IS THERE A WAY. TO KIND OF MOVING TO THE UPCOMING YEAR AND FULFILL THAT 1.5% OR DO THEY HAVE TO GO BACK INTO THE BUDGET AND THEN KIND OF REALLOCATE IN THE NEW YEAR. THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, MOVING THE FUNDS BACK TO OR OUT OF THAT PARTICULAR FUND. IT WOULD BE SOMETHING WHERE IT CAN, EITHER THE FUNDS CAN EITHER BE TRANSFERRED TO A DIFFERENT FUND IF IT IS PAYING FOR SOMETHING WITH THE SAME PURPOSE OF THAT FUND AS IT WAS CREATED. IT WOULD BE SOMETHING. WHERE WOULD YOU RETURN IT BACK TO THE GENERAL FUND OR DISTRIBUTED TO THE GENERAL FUND. IF YOU DISSOLVE THE FUND IF THERE'S NO LONGER A PURPOSE FOR IT. AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DISSOLVING IN THIS CASE, THE 2024 FUN WHICH NO NO, THE VILLAGE CENTER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND AS ESTABLISHED. THAT'S THE ONE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DISSOLVING IF WE DON'T USE THE MONEY TO DISSOLVE THAT AT THE END OF 2024 , AND THEN PUT ANOTHER 1.5 AND 225 CARRIED OVER ONCE WE ESTABLISH THE VILLAGE CENTER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND AND START RECEDING, WE WOULD CARRY THAT MONEY. INTO THE NEXT YEAR'S OKAY. THAT WAS MY QUESTION. YEAH I MEAN, JUST TALKING TO STAFF AND THE SAME MANAGER. I THINK WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PROJECTS ON THE HORIZON THAT THESE FUNDS EVEN WITH THESE ALLOCATIONS WILL NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO COVER THE COST OF SO WE'RE GONNA SPEND THIS NO PROBLEM. THE NEXT SHORT TERM HORIZON. I GUESS MY QUESTION IS AROUND THE TERM SUBDIVISION FIXED ASSETS OF THE SUBDIVISION JUST TIGHT. ANY SORT OF YOU GET GRAPHICS LOCATION, OR IS IT WITHIN THE CITY ITSELF? SO HOW IS WRITTEN IN THE LEGISLATION? WE UM THE PURPOSE OF IT IS TO BE USED FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE VILLAGE CENTER, OKAY? THAT IS NOT SPECIFICALLY DEFINED WITHIN THE LEGISLATION OR THE CODE. HOWEVER THE IDEA IS THAT WE WOULD REFER TO THE ENGAGEMENT ALBANY OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AT THE TIME WHEN WE'RE EVALUATING PROJECTS THAT MAKES SENSE. THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE. ALRIGHT THANK YOU . STAFF WE'LL GO AHEAD AND SET THAT UP FOR A SECOND READING IN PUBLIC HERE IN YOUR MEETING ON FEBRUARY, 20TH. RESOLUTION AND[11. RESOLUTIONS AND PUBLIC HEARING]
PUBLIC HEARING RESOLUTION ARE 2 2024 RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE UPDATED DRAFT OF ASSAULT WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN OF THE SALT WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY OF CENTRAL OHIO. SWEET MR BARKING.OKAY. THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO THE SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY OF CENTRAL OHIO'S WACO IS ONE OF 52 STATE APPOINTED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT ENTITIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE S WACO HAPPENS TO COVER THE AREA OF JURISTS AT THE AREA OF FRANKLIN COUNTY WENT ALL CITIES THAT HAVE A MAJORITY OF THEIR POPULATION WITHIN FRANKLIN COUNTY, SO THAT CERTAINLY APPLIES TO NEW ALBANY. SO BASICALLY SWEET COCOA OWNS AND MAINTAINS THE FRANKLIN COUNTY SANITARY LANDFILL, WHICH IS WHERE ALL OF OUR SOLID WASTE IS ULTIMATELY DELIVERED. AND JUST AS A CLARIFICATION, NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH FRANKIE'S MONKEY PROVIDES OUR TRASH COLLECTION SERVICES FOR SOLID WASTE, RECYCLING AND ALSO YARD WASTE. UM STATE LAW REQUIRES THIS WACO DEVELOPED A 15 YEAR PLAN. THAT PLAN IS REQUIRED TO BE IN PLACE TO CONFIRM THAT THEY ARE THEY HAVE PLANS AND PROGRAMS IN PLACE THAT ARE INTENDED TO ACHIEVE THE APA'S GOAL OF REDUCING HOW IS RELIANCE ON LANDFILLS, AND THESE
[00:25:04]
ARE FOCUSED ON CERTAINLY OPPORTUNITIES TO DIVERT THINGS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE END UP IN THE LANDFILL FROM THE LANDFILL. SO THERE'S A LOT OF INITIATIVES THAT, UM THAT ARE INCLUDED WITHIN THAT THE UPDATE INCLUDES REALLY AN EXPANSION TO A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE ALREADY DOING. IT'S KIND OF MORE OF THE SAME AGAIN. MORE DIVERSION PROGRAMS RELATED TO RECYCLING, HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION AND COMPOSTING PROVIDING ADDITIONAL, YOU KNOW. GRANT OPPORTUNITIES AND FINANCIAL INCENTIVES FOR PEOPLE TO BE PARTICIPATING IN THOSE IN THOSE PROGRAMS. AND UM, AT THE SAME TIME THEY EVALUATED THIS AND THE EXPANDED PROGRAMMING WILL REQUIRE SOME ADDITIONAL STAFF. BUT THEY HAVE EVALUATED THEIR CURRENT BUDGET. AND THEY'RE THIS CHANGE WILL NOT INCREASE ANY FEE, SO THEY'RE BASICALLY FUNDED BY A TON OF THAT IS ULTIMATELY PAID BY FIND NEW ALBANY AND THAT WILL REMAIN AT $5 PER TON, WHICH IS WHICH HAS BEEN FOR PAST THREE YEARS.UM, SO THERE'S NO COST INCREASE. SO IN SOME WAYS, THIS IS THE HOUSEKEEPING EFFORT. THIS IS A FIVE YEAR UPDATE AGAIN SO EVERY FIVE YEARS WE SEE THIS, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY 15 YEAR PLAN THAT'S IN PLACE CONTINUOUSLY FOREST WACO, SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE RESOLUTION? OKAY? OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING WHERE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK TO REGARDING RESOLUTION ARE 2024. HERRING IN PUBLIC COMMENT OR CLOSE. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS VERY EMOTION ON THE RESOLUTION. LOOK FOR ADOPTION OF OUR 2024. SECOND. COUNCIL MEMBER WELL, CHARLES, COUNCIL MEMBER KESS COUNCIL MEMBER CHILD YES, YES, MEMBER BRISK. YES, YES, YES VOTES SHOULD HAVE RESOLUTION R 02 2024. RESOLUTION R 03 2024, A RESOLUTION APPROVING AUTHORIZED THE EXECUTION OF A LETTER OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF NORTHERN OHIO AND THE NEW ALBANY COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION AND RELATED AUTHORIZATIONS RELATED TO THE SUPPORT AND OPERATION OF INNOVATION OFFICE. REQUEST. THANK YOU. SO THIS LEGISLATION MEMORIALIZES THE COMMITMENTS THAT THE CITY AND THE NEW ALBANY COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION.
OTHERWISE KNOWS THE C I C FOR THE SUPPORT AND OPERATION OF THE INNOVATE NEW HARMONY PROGRAM. AS YOU KNOW, THE C I C WAS CREATED IN 2006 UNDER SECTION 17 24.10 OF THE HIGHER ADVICE CODE AND THE C I. C S MISSION IS TO QUOTE WORK. AT THE DIRECTION OF CITY COUNCIL TO ADVANCE, ENCOURAGE AND PROMOTE COMMERCIAL GROWTH AND CIVIC DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH ENTREPRENEURIAL SUPPORT, CONNECTIVITY AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT TO ENHANCE THE LIVES OF RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES AND CORPORATE CITIZENS. THE CIA HAS OPERATED IN INNOVATE NOBODY FROM THE INCEPTION OF THE PROGRAM INNOVATING YOUR ALBANESE MISSION IS TO INSPIRE CREATIVITY, DISCOVERY AND COMMERCE AMONG EXISTING BUSINESSES WHILE ATTRACTING ENTREPRENEURS AND GROWING NEW BUSINESSES IN NEW ALBANY. THE PROGRAM DOES HAVE TWO COMPONENTS. THE FIRST IS THE PHYSICAL SPACE FOR ENTREPRENEURS, ENTREPRENEURS AND SMALL BUSINESSES ALSO OFFERS COACHING AND MENTORING AND THEN DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING THROUGH THE TIGER INNOVATION PLATFORM, WHICH I THINK MANY OF YOU HAVE ATTENDED TIGER TALKS. SO UM, ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE ADDED BENEFIT THAT THEY HAVE NOT JUST FROM OUR BUSINESSES IN THE INCUBATOR PROGRAM AND INNOVATING ROBBERY, BUT FOR RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY INNOVATE NEW ALBANY HAS OPERATED PRIMARILY FROM 7100 SQUARE FEET IN THE SPACE AT 8000 MOUNTAIN PARKWAY, THE LEAST FOR THE FACILITY WAS HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED BY THE BILLION OWNER. FOR MANY YEARS, THE PROGRAM HAS OPERATED AT FULL CAPACITY FOR SEVERAL YEARS, EVEN IN THE MIDST OF COVID. WITH 16 OFFICES, CUBICLES AND 11, VIRTUAL 10 TENANTS ALL OF RENTED WITH AND WAIT LIST MOST OF THE TIME DURING THE YEAR. THE DEMAND FOR THIS TYPE OF SPACE IN THE COMMUNITY GREATLY OUTWEIGHED THE SUPPLY, OFTEN RESULTING IN LONG WAIT IN A LIST FOR SPACE. THE LEAST FOR THIS FACILITY EXPIRES ON MARCH. 31ST 2024 SO STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY TO COOPERATIVELY NEGOTIATE A NEW LEASE AGREEMENT FOR A NEW LOCATION THAT WILL PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PROGRAM TO GROW AND EVOLVE. THIS EXCITING NEW SPACE WILL FUNCTION AS AN ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESS CENTER TO WELCOME COMPANIES OF ALL SIZES, LIFECYCLE FACES AND INDUSTRIES. THE GOAL IS TO CREATE EXCITEMENT AROUND ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION AND TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE ALL TYPES OF BUSINESS LEADERS CAN OPERATE A BUSINESS WHILE COLLABORATING. WITH ITS EXPANSION INNOVATING ALBANY WILL BE ABLE TO VISIBILITY NEW OFFERINGS, INCLUDING THE ACCEPTANCE OF DAY PASSES AND DROP IN WORKING OPPORTUNITIES, THE RENTAL OF MEETING ROOMS AND LARGE COMMUNITY EVENTS, BASES.
THESE NEW OFFERINGS WILL CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATE NEW ALBANY TO BE MORE ACCESSIBLE TO OUR NEW ALBANY PRESIDENTS. THIS LETTER OF AGREEMENT IS SOMEWHAT OF A HOUSEKEEPING MEASURE IN MEMORIALIZES. THE CITY'S DESIGNATION OF THIS IS AN AGENCY FOR GROWTH AND SUPPORT OF THESE
[00:30:02]
TYPES OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE CITY. IT ALSO FURTHER MEMORIALIZES THE SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR INNOVATIVE NEW ALBANY, WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND AND APPROVED AS A PART OF THE BUDGETARY PROCESS EVERY YEAR. AND OUR COMMITMENT TO APPROPRIATE AND CONTRIBUTE THE NECESSARY FUNDS TO SATISFY LEASE OBLIGATIONS, PROGRAMMING AND OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS INCURRED BY THE THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IN PRACTICE FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND WE'RE MEMORIALIZING IT NOW AS WE MOVE INTO THE NEW COMMITMENTS FOR THE NEW SPACE AND SET FORTH THESE OBLIGATIONS, BOTH FOR THE CITY AND FOR THE C I C I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. I KNOW WE HAVE SEVERAL COUNCIL MEMBERS PARTICIPATING IN THE C I C AS WELL. I MEAN, ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. NO IT'S JUST THAT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO FIND SOME SPACE IN THE GROUP'S IT SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE, AND THIS WILL JUST ENSURE THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME OF OUR ADVICE THAT WE HAVE. YEAH I'LL JUST SAY THAT OUR STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING LIKE, UNBELIEVABLY UNBELIEVABLE. WELL ON THIS AND WITH GREAT EXPEDIENCY IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE, AND THEY HAVE PUT TOGETHER TREMENDOUS SET OF AGREEMENTS THAT ARE BY ALL MEANS NOT FINISHED GETTING REMARKABLY CLOSE AT THIS POINT THAT ARE GOING TO CREATE AN INCUBATOR FOR US THAT WILL BE FOR AND ABOVE WHAT WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST, AND I JUST THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT FUTURE FOR THE CITY. IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT. YOU KNOW WHEN, WHEN, WHEN IT'S ALL DONE, AND THEY CAN COME AND REALLY PRESENT. I THINK YOU'RE ALL GOING TO BE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER SO YEAH. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I WANTED TO JUST COMMEND SOUTH THAT'S BEEN WORKING ON. ESPECIALLY YOU, JENNIFER. FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE, I THINK THAT IT WILL BE REALLY IMPORTANT TO THE COMMUNITY TO HAVE THAT COMMUNITY EVENTS BASED , UM WHICH I THINK A LOT OF GROUPS AROUND HERE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR.

DID SEE REFERENCE TO THE MERGER COMMITTEE THAT ALEXANDRIA IN ST ALBANS TOWNSHIP ARE STILL CONSIDERING MOVING FORWARD WITH AN OFFICE ON THE BALLOT IN MARCH FOR CONSIDERATION IN NOVEMBER, BUT THERE'S STILL THAT DISCUSSION ABOUT SETTING THE COMMITTEE TO STUDY OR MAYBE IT'S ALREADY THE COMMITTEE'S ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED TO STUDY THE POSSIBLE MURDER OF THE VILLAGE IN THE WHOLE TOWNSHIP. I'M NOT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANY UPDATES, BUT I ACTUALLY WAS CHECKING THE ALEXANDRIA WEBSITE YESTERDAY AND I SAW THAT THERE WAS A MERGER COMMITTEE MEETING ON THEIR COUNCIL. IT MUST HAVE PASSED AND THEY'RE STILL IN THE EVALUATION STATION. ALRIGHT, WELL, WE'LL JUST KEEP AN EYE ON THAT BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THAT HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. ALRIGHT ANY UPDATE FROM JUST ALSO? I'M MORE UPSET AT THE THURSDAY MEETING. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SEE YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION FROM JOAN ARDEN FROM JUNK AND AIRPORT ABOUT THE NEW TERMINAL PLAN.THERE'S ANY INFORMATION WE GET FROM THAT WILL BRING IT BACK. BUT I THINK IT'S BEEN FAIRLY WELL PUBLICIZED IN THE PRESS WITH SOME RENDERINGS AND COSTS AND TIMELINES, BUT IF THERE'S ANYTHING NEW WILL MAKE SURE AND BRING IT BACK. UM, ANY UPDATE FROM THE JOINT PARKS? EVERY MEETING COME OUT BY MONDAY THAT AS WE ARE SITTING HERE RIGHT NOW, DAVE WHARTON AND HIS TEAM ARE CURRENTLY AT THE OHIO ANNUAL PARKS MEETING AWARDS BANQUET NIGHT AT THE KALAHARI AND THERE WILL BE ACCEPTING THE AWARD THAT WE WON LAST YEAR FOR OUR PICKLEBALL COURTS A SECOND PLACE COMMISSIONING PROJECTS BETWEEN ONE AND 2 MILLION. SO THEY'RE CURRENTLY THERE AS WE'RE SITTING HERE, ACCEPTING THAT AWARD ON OUR BEHALF AND, OF COURSE, THE PARKS DEPARTMENT AS WELL. THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT ANY UPDATE FOR NOBODY PLAYING LOCAL SCHOOLS? YES THERE WAS A SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. UH ON THE 22ND OF JANUARY. I THINK IF YOU YOU KNOW , SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE IN ATTENDANCE, UM, MEETING START OFF, AS SLOAN INDICATED EARLIER. WE ARE BLESSED WITH A LOT OF INCREDIBLE ATHLETES IN THE WELL BEING IMMATURE AND PROFESSIONAL. THEY HONORED ME. HAMMOND WHO WAS THE INVERTED JEWEL GIRLS CALLED STATE CHAMPION THIS LAST SEASON. UM. I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ME A LITTLE BIT. SHE'S PLAYING SOME PROFESSIONAL EVENTS THIS YEAR AS AN AMATEUR AND ACTUALLY DONE WELL IN THEM. UM AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY GOLFERS WE HAVE BUT PERSPECTIVE, SHE AVERAGE AVERAGE 67 THIS YEAR. ACROSS ALL HER ROUNDS THAT SHE SHOT SO THAT'S ABOUT 4 TO 500 PAR PER ROUND. UM SHE SHOT 60 IN AN EVENT THIS YEAR, WHICH I BELIEVE THAT WAS A PAR 70. SO THAT WAS LIKE 10 UNDER GROUND. UM SO SHE'S UH, YOU KNOW, INCHES SOPHOMORE. UM SO INCREDIBLE ATHLETES, UM, THE TEAM FINISHED RUNNER UP. SO THEY DID WELL AS WELL. BUT I MEAN, IT WOULD BE HARD TO ARGUE THAT SHE THAT WASN'T THE SINGLE GREATEST GIRLS GOLF SEASON IN OHIO STATE HISTORY, SO SHE WRAPPED THAT UP. UM AND UNFORTUNATELY, AND FORTUNATELY, SHE'S UH, THE NEXT TIME THAT SHE WE MIGHT BE TALKING ABOUT OR IT COULD BE AFTER SHE WINS HER FIRST PROFESSIONAL TOURNAMENT BECAUSE SHE RECENTLY SIGNED AND I LBL, UH, WHICH YOU WILL HAVE SOME SPONSORSHIPS. OH, IT'S JUST A IS NOT ON BOARD WITH MY OWN YET SO SHE HAS FOREGONE IN HER REMAINING TWO YEARS OF ELIGIBILITY AS A HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETE, BUT THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY N I L IS APPROVED IN COLLEGE, SO SHE'S NOT GOING PROFESSIONAL, SO THERE IS STILL A CHANCE THAT SHE COULD PLAY AT THE COLLEGIATE LEVEL. BUT OBVIOUSLY AN UNBELIEVABLE TALENT. SO, UM, THAT WAS A GOOD WAY TO START OFF THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. UM AND THEN, OBVIOUSLY, I THINK WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT THE SCHOOL WERE PRESENTED THEIR FUTURE GROWTH STUDY THAT WAS DONE BY COOPERATIVE STRATEGIES. UM THE SLIDE SHOW OF IT COOKS. I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO THE WEEDS AND A LOT OF THE DETAILS. IT IS ON THE SCHOOL BOARD'S WEBSITE. IF YOU WANT TO PULL IT UP, UM, BUT IT BASICALLY LOOKS, UH, CURRENT PROJECTS THEY SCHOOL BOARD GATHERED DATA FROM THE CITY AS WELL AS NEW ALBANY COMPANY AND KIND OF PUT TOGETHER AN EFFORT TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE LIKE WE ALWAYS DO IN ALBANY. UM SO IT WAS BASED ON UNIT YIELDS ACTIVE, PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS. POTENTIAL FUTURE MAXIMUM DEVELOPMENT IN AREAS. BASICALLY. IN DEPTH CATCHER 10 YEARS AND THEN, ACTUALLY, SOME OF THE SLIDES WENT EVEN FURTHER OUT BEYOND THAT. UM AND I KNOW YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE NUMBERS. I THINK THAT THE MAXIMUM YIELD THEY TALKED ABOUT WAS 1455 STUDENTS BETWEEN THE PLANT IN POTENTIAL, UM SO YOU KNOW THAT
[00:40:03]
THERE'S A LOT OF CONCERN AND WE THINK WE'VE HEARD FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY. AND I GUESS I WOULD LIKE TO REITERATE THE COMMITMENT TO THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE CITY HAVE IN COLLABORATION WITH EACH OTHER AS WELL AS DEVELOPERS. THAT WE'VE GROWN IN THE PAST WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND WE'RE GOING TO DO IT RESPONSIBLY AND WE'RE GOING TO DO IT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF NOT ONLY A CITY, BUT YOU KNOW THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SO AND I DON'T KNOW. YOU KNOW, I KNOW I'LL TALK ABOUT YOU KNOW, THEY LAID OUT THE STATE OF THE CURRENT CAPACITY OF THE FACILITIES. THE NUMBER SITS AT 84% OF CAPACITY, AND I. THE IDEAL UTILIZATION IS BETWEEN 75 AND 85. SO PRETTY MUCH THE DISTRICT IS AT CAPACITY NOW, SO I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO START PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE TODAY, THE ONE THAT FIVE YEAR PRODUCTION PUT IT AT 92% AND 5 TO 10 YEARS PUT IT AT 109% SO UM THERE'S DEFINITELY LESS CAPACITY FOR LOWER GRADES, THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH AT THE POINT HIGH SCHOOL. THERE WAS A LITTLE ROOM TO GROW, BUT UM THE FLEXIBILITY IS DWINDLING, SO THE DISTRICT IS GOING TO HAVE TO START MOVING FORWARD WITH WITH WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO ACCOMMODATE THE STUDENTS. UM SO, LIKE I SAID THAT THE REPORT IS AVAILABLE ON THE SCHOOL WEBSITE. AND THEN, UH , YOU KNOW, THE CITY DID PUT TOGETHER A STATEMENT. JOSH IS OUR STATEMENT AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE ORDER WENT OUT AND CONNECTS. DO YOU HAVE? IT IS ON THE WEBSITE. OKAY, SO ANYBODY AT HOME WANTS TO I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH AND READ THE STATEMENT. BUT BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, SLOANE AND MARLENE AND I SAT DOWN WITH A COUPLE OF SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND SUPER TENSE. SAWYER, JOE. AND UH I MEAN, WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE AND WE'RE COLLABORATING. AND YOU KNOW, WE ALL UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS TO OUR COMMUNITY, AND WE'RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT IT REMAINS. WE'RE GOING TO GROW, BUT WE'RE GONNA GROW RESPONSIBLY. SO YEAH. THAT WAS THE REST OF THE MINOR DETAILS, BUT THAT WAS THE REST OF THE BULK OF THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE AND THE UPDATE FROM PLAYING IN TOWNSHIP. THEY DID HAVE A MEETING A LOT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND APPROVING EXPENSES, ETCETERA.
