Mar 05, 2024 City Council

[00:00:04]

YEAH AND WE ARE CURRENTLY PUSHING SOUND MAY OR WHENEVER YOU'RE READY. HI. GOOD EVENING,

[1. CALL TO ORDER]

[4. ACTION ON MINUTES]

[6. HEARING OF VISITORS]

[00:05:06]

AGAIN. WE START WITH THE GOALS WE IDENTIFY ABOUT 2 TO 4 OBJECTIVES FOR EACH OF THOSE GOALS OF HOW ARE WE GONNA ACCOMPLISH THOSE AND HOW WE'RE GONNA MEASURE OUR PROGRESS IN MEETING THOSE GOALS? WE ALSO, UH, START BY LOOKING AT ALL THE LOCAL PLANS IN THE REGION, SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THE LOCAL PRIORITIES TRANSPORTATION PRIORITIES ARE MAKING IT INTO THE REGIONAL PLAN AND BEING CONSIDERED FOR INCLUSION. AND SO , OF COURSE, WE'RE LOOKING AT NEW ALBANY PLANS AS WELL AS, UM THE LOCAL OTHER LOCAL COMMUNITIES, UH, STATE PLANS AND OTHER REGIONAL PLANS AND, OF COURSE DATA, SO WE ARE, UM DEVELOPING DATA AND ANALYZING DATA TO THE MIDDLE COLUMN YOU'LL SEE IS YOU KNOW WE DEVELOPED, UH, THE POPULATION EMPLOYMENT FORECASTS. THEY SHOWED YOU EARLIER, UH, WERE MEASURING THE DEMAND FOR THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM BASED ON THEIR ACCEPTED GROWTH, AND, UH, WE'RE EVALUATING ALL OF THE PROJECTS BASED ON UM QUANTITATIVELY BASED ON HOW WE THINK THEY WILL HELP ACCOMPLISH THOSE GOALS AGAIN. I MENTIONED THE FISCAL ANALYSIS, SO THAT'S COST ESTIMATES AND LOOKING AT, UM ALL OF THE POTENTIAL REVENUE SOURCES LOOKING OUT TO 2050. AND THEN WE DO AN IMPACT ANALYSIS. WHERE WE LOOK AT. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE PROPOSING THESE PROJECTS. UH, WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS ON AIR QUALITY? WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS TO THE ENVIRONMENT AS WELL AS TRANSPORTATION, DISADVANTAGED POPULATIONS, AND THEN UH, WHAT EVERYONE'S INTERESTED IN KIND OF THE MEAT OF THE PLAN. THE DELIVERABLE IS A SET OF REGIONAL STRATEGIES AND TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS, ALL WRAPPED UP INTO A NICE REPORT. SO UH, THE MAIN REASON I'M HERE TODAY IS TO LET YOU KNOW THAT OUR DRAFT STRATEGIES AND PROJECTS ARE, UM, PUBLISHED AND AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, SO WE INVITE YOU TO VISIT THE WEBSITE AND, UH, YOU CAN VIEW OUR THE STRATEGIES, WHICH ALL FALL INTO ONE OF TWO CATEGORIES. SO WE HAVE STRATEGIES ON UM, HOW WE'RE GONNA MANAGE OUR EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. SO HOW ARE WE PRESERVING AND MAINTAINING IT? HOW ARE WE, UM MAKING IT MORE EFFICIENT THROUGH INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES.

HOW ARE WE MANAGING THE DEMAND FOR IT? SO THE DEMAND FOR SINGLE OCCUPANCY VEHICLES AND THEN HOW ARE WE MAKING IT MORE SAFE AND SECURE SYSTEM AND YOU KNOW, AS I MENTIONED, WE'RE GROWING, SO THERE'S GOING TO BE EXPANSION PROJECTS. WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BUILD NEW INFRASTRUCTURE. AND SO THAT'S WHERE THE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES COME IN, AND THAT'S WHERE THE SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS ARE IDENTIFIED. AND SO THE PLAN INCLUDES PROJECTS, UM STAND ALONE BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN PROJECTS, TRANSIT PROJECTS FREE AND MULTIMODAL CONNECTIONS AS WELL AS FREEWAYS AND ROADWAYS. SO THE TOTAL PACKAGE FOR THE REGION THIS MAP IS NOT MEANT TO BE READ BY ANY MEANS, BUT JUST REALLY WANNA SHOW YOU THE MAGNITUDE OF, UM THE HOW MANY PROJECTS ARE ARE BEING INCLUDED. IT'S A TOTAL OF $35 BILLION OF INVESTMENT IN OUR REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. UH YOU'LL NOTICE THE BIGGEST PIECE OF THAT PIE IS TRANSIT, OR, UH, FORECASTING THAT ABOUT $13 BILLION WILL BE INVESTED INTO THEIR TRANSIT SYSTEM. SO THAT INCLUDES, UM FEDERAL DOLLARS. SO FROM THE FT A DISCRETIONARY GRANT OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE EXPECT TO, UM CAPTURE INTO OUR REGION AS WELL AS, UM ADDITIONAL LOCAL SUPPORT FOR TRANSIT AND I'LL GET INTO EACH OF THESE, UM, A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DETAIL. UM, THE OTHER BIG PIECE. YOU SEE, THERE IS THE MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS, SO THAT'S REALLY JUST MANAGING OUR EXISTING SYSTEM. THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN A BIG PIECE OF THE EXPENDITURES ON OUR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, AND I'LL GO THROUGH EACH OF THESE OTHER PROJECT TYPES AS WELL. UM, STARTING WITH TRANSIT. UM SO WHAT WE'RE SHOWING HERE ARE THE WHAT WE CONSIDER HIGH CAPACITY OR PREMIUM TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS.

I SHOULD NOTE THAT WELL. THE MTP DOES INCLUDE ASSUMPTIONS FOR THE EXPANSION OF EXISTING BUS SERVICE IN BOTH, UM YOU KNOW, FOR THE CODE OF SERVICE AREA IN FRANKLIN COUNTY AS WELL AS, UH, DELAWARE COUNTY TRANSIT IN DELAWARE COUNTY. UH, WE DON'T MAP EVERY BUS ROUTE, BECAUSE, UM , ALTHOUGH THEY ARE IMPROVING THE SERVICE, THE CHANGES ARE KIND OF THEY'RE TOO NUANCED WHEN WE'RE LOOKING OUT TO 2050, SO WE'RE FOCUSING HERE ON THOSE HIGH CAPACITY CORRIDORS. UM I'LL. I'LL START WITH THOSE DARK PURPLE LINES OF SOLID LINES. THOSE ARE THREE CORRIDORS THAT

[00:10:02]

THOSE ARE, UM ADDITIONAL AREAS FOR FURTHER STUDY. BUT WE DO THINK BASED ON FUNDING OR FUNDING MODEL THAT A TOTAL OF FIVE CORRIDORS UH FOR HIGH CAPACITY TRANSIT, SOMETHING LIKE BUS, RAPID TRANSIT OR OTHERS WILL BE, UH, CONSTRUCTED BY 2050 . SO UH, WE THINK IN ADDITION TO THOSE THREE THAT TWO OF THOSE OTHER THREE SWATHS WILL BE, UM, CONSTRUCTED SO THAT INCLUDES A CONNECTION FROM DOWNTOWN TO THE AIRPORT, POTENTIALLY UP TO EASTON POTENTIALLY FURTHER ON TO THE NORTHEAST. UM, BUT THEY'RE, UH SYMBOLIZED THAT WAY, BECAUSE FURTHER STUDY IS NEEDED, AND AN EXACT CORRIDOR HASN'T BEEN IDENTIFIED IN EXACT MODE HASN'T BEEN IDENTIFIED AND THEN SIMILARLY TO THE SOUTH, RECOGNIZING THAT, UM, GROVE CITY IS ONE OF THE LARGEST, UH, GROWING SUBURBS. UM, THERE'S ALSO THE RICKENBACKER AREA AND THE DAKOTA, UM, MOBILITY TRANSIT CENTER DOWN THERE. UM THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE REGION WILL NEED TO BE SERVED. AND SO THE, UH, AGAIN FURTHER STUDY IS NEEDED. THOSE TWO PINK CORRIDORS OR THE PINK LINES INDICATE, UM, INVESTMENT IN, UM THE INVESTMENT BEYOND YOUR TYPICAL BUS SERVICE, BUT, UM, NOT QUITE, TO THE EXTENT OF, YOU KNOW OF FULL, UH, BUS RAPID TRANSIT LINE. SO IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE C MAX LINE ON CLEVELAND AVENUE UM, THAT'S WHAT THAT UH, ONE PINK LINE TO THE NORTH IS SHOWING.

BUT UM, WE WOULD EXPECT A SIMILAR SERVICE AND MORE INVESTMENT INTO THAT LINE, AS WELL AS THE ADDITION OF SERVICE ON EAST BROAD AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE ORANGE, UH, SWATH. SO THOSE INDICATES, UM, AREAS THAT ARE BEING STUDIED FOR, UM HIGHER CAPACITY, MORE PREMIUM TRANSIT.

BUT WE AT THIS TIME BASED ON FUNDING FORECAST, WE DON'T EXPECT TO BE CONSTRUCTED BY 2050 . SO TO THE NORTH AND THE NORTHWEST. THOSE ARE, UM REALLY INDICATING STUDY OF PASSENGER RAIL COMING TO OUR REGION. UM THE OTHER, UH, CORRIDOR ALONG 270 OVER TO, UM, OUR NECK OF THE WOODS. THOSE ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF OD WORKFORCE TRANSIT STUDY THAT THEY JUST WRAPPED UP AND THAT'S REALLY THEY'RE LOOKING AT CONNECTING, UM, NEWARK TO AETNA TO THE NEW ALBANY BUSINESS PARK AND FURTHER WEST INTO THE COLUMBUS AREA. SO UM MORE FURTHER STUDIES NEEDED OD A DOES HAVE, UM, FUNDING TO LOOK AT THE FEASIBILITY OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE, BUT AT THIS POINT, UH , WE THINK THIS IS WHAT IS LIKELY TO BE FUNDED FOR CONSTRUCTION BY 2050. AND THEN THESE ARE THE OTHER PROJECT TYPES KIND OF ZOOMED INTO THE NEW ALBANY AREA. UH, YOU'LL SEE, UM THE RED OR THE IS THE MAJOR WIDENING. UM YOU SEE THE 161 PROJECT HAVE SOME NEW ROADWAYS.

I SHOULD INDICATE I SHOULD INDICATE THAT A LOT OF THESE, YOU'LL PROBABLY SAY, WELL, THAT'S ALREADY IN CONSTRUCTION WISE THAT I'M HERE. UH, WE AND ALSO, UM, YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING , WHY ARE ALL THESE PROJECTS ON HERE WHERE WE MAY NOT BE WANTING TO USE FEDERAL FUNDING. I KNOW.

UM YOU KNOW, THE THERE COULD BE A LOT OF RED TAPE ASSOCIATED WITH FEDERAL FUNDING AND, UM, BUT WE WANTED TO SHOW A COMPREHENSIVE OF TRANSPORTATION IN THE REGION AS WELL AS IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES. SO UM SO REALLY WHAT? I WHAT I'M HOPING TO DO HERE, UM, IS JUST GIVE YOU THIS INFORMATION. UM WE AGAIN WE'RE LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK. UM, YOU HAVE THE, UH PRE YOU HAVE THE SLIDES NOW. UM, SO IF YOU YOU CAN ALSO VISIT OUR WEBSITE AND, UH, VISIT OUR WEB MAP WHERE YOU CAN ZOOM AROUND AND, UM, ZOOM INTO PAN OVER TO NEW ALBANY . ZOOM IN. CLICK ON INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THEM. LEAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT. IF YOU'D LIKE, UM OR YOU CAN EMAIL ANY MEMBER OF OUR TEAM, FOR, UM ADDITIONAL COMMENTS, BUT I'M REALLY YEAH, WE WANNA KNOW. ARE THERE ANY RED FLAGS? IS THERE ANYTHING MISSING? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT'S CONCERNING? YOU, UM AS WE MOVE FORWARD. SO YOU'LL, UH SO YEAH, YOU'LL NOTICE A LOT OF THE PROJECTS PROPOSED AS PART OF THE INTEL DEVELOPMENT. UM SOME GREENWAY PROJECTS AND, UM, AGAIN PARKWAY EXTENSION AS WELL AS THE THIRD STREET CONNECTION. THE EXTENSION. 161 EXTENSION PASS BE BEACH ROAD TO NEWARK. ARE WE GOING TO IS THERE ANY PLAN TO EXTEND THAT WIDE NET FURTHER OUT? JUST GOT YES. SO UM, I GUESS I DIDN'T MENTION AT THE BEGINNING. SO ALTHOUGH WE SERVE A 15 COUNTY REGION, UM FOR A LOT OF SUBJECT AREAS FOR TRANSPORTATION, WE ARE CONSIDERED THE METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION. AND ARE WE SO WE ONLY SERVE FRANKLIN COUNTY, DELAWARE COUNTIES. AND THEN AS NEW ALBANY GROWS, YOU STAY IN IN OUR, UH, PLANNING AREA. BUT THE OF LOOKING COUNTY, SO OUTSIDE OF THAT AREA IS SERVED BY THE LINCOLN COUNTY AREA TRANSIT STUDIED CATS. SO THERE IT'S A DIFFERENT MP O. SO WE'RE WE'RE JUST NOT SHOWING

[00:15:03]

TO MOVE THE, UM THE EARTH THE, UM, ENGINEERING ON THE PROJECT I FELT, YOU KNOW WAS WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY HAVE A GOOD PLAN IN PLACE AND THERE IS A COMMITMENT TO WORK WITH THE RESIDENTS. THE PLAN ULTIMATELY PASSED 3 TO 1. THE UH, MEMBER WHO VOTED? NO UH BRUCE LARSON VOTED BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF THE FOUR LOTS. UM AND THE SAME VOTE FOR THE PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION.

AND WE'D LOVE TO SEE SOME OF YOU GUYS COME ON OUT AND SUPPORT IT. UM YEAH, WE'VE GOT A LIKE A RANGE OF PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT AGES DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, SOME MORE WORKING SOME MORE AT HOME TO TALK ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A WOMAN IN NEW ALBANY.

SO UM, YOU CAN REGISTER ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE.

THAT TAKES US TO CORRESPONDENCE OR COMMUNICATION HAS A MEMBER OF COUNCIL RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE OR COMMUNICATION FROM A MEMBER OF

[9. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARING]

[00:25:02]

[00:30:06]

AT A PARKING LOT. UM THE TEXT SAYS THOSE WOULD BE 3 TO 4 FT. TALL WE WOULD ASK THAT THOSE WOULD BE UPGRADED TO THE GREEN GIANT VARIETY, WHICH IS TALLER. UM THERE'S A PROPERTY ABOUT A QUARTER MILE SOUTH OF US ON JONESTOWN ROAD AT 5026 JOHNSTOWN ROAD. UM, IT'S AN INTERESTING USE OF THE RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION OWNS IT, AND THEY USE IT AS A MEETING HOUSE AND THERE ARE RESIDENCES SURROUNDING IT TO THE BACK AND TO THE SOUTH. AND GLENN ASPHALT PARKING LOT WAS INSTALLED. ON THAT PARCEL. THE ENTIRE PARKING AREA WAS SURROUNDED WITH WITH THE TALLER VARIETY OF EVERGREENS. AND WE THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY APPROPRIATE HERE AT THE HOUSE.

AN ACTUAL LASER POINTER. COULD EITHER YEAH. THERE YOU GO. YEAH. RIGHT ACROSS THERE. IF WE COULD HAVE THE PLAN UPDATED MAKE THOSE TALLER THE GREEN GIANT VARIETY THAT WOULD DO A MUCH BETTER JOB OF SCREENING. UM OUR DRIVEWAY COMES ALONG OVER HERE. AND WHEN WE WALK BACK AND FORTH IN THE NICE WEATHER TO HAVE TO GET THE MAIL WE SEE ALL OF THIS. WE SEE THE PRODUCT STACKED BACK HERE.

AND VARIOUS STORAGE AREAS BACK HERE. IT WOULD DO A MUCH BETTER JOB OF SCREENING THAT WE BELIEVE. IF THIS AREA RIGHT HERE WERE CLOSED OFF WITH THE TALLER EVERGREENS. THE OTHER THING WE'D LIKE TO ASK FOR TONIGHT IS, UH, THE TEXT DOESN'T PUT ANY SPECIFIC RESTRICTIONS ON THIS NEW PARKING AREA. WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE TEXT TO BE MODIFIED TO SAY NO OVERNIGHT PARKING. AND NO TRUCK PARKING IN THAT AREA. I THINK THAT'S PRETTY REASONABLE CONSIDERING THAT THE APPLICATION SAYS THIS IS JUST FOR THE USE OF THE LANDSCAPE OR OF THE NURSERY BUSINESS DURING BUSINESS HOURS, SO LIKE TO GET THAT IN WRITING. NO TRUCKS, NO OVERNIGHT PARKING. AND THEN THE TEXT ISN'T UP HERE AT THE MOMENT, BUT THE TEXT TALKS ABOUT PLANTINGS ALONG THIS LINE. AND IT WOULD BE OUR POSITION THAT IF YOU UPGRADE THE PLANNINGS TO THE TALLER ONES HERE THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY NEED.

WHAT PLANTINGS HERE. AND BY ELIMINATING THOSE PLANNINGS, IT WOULD GIVE THE AREA A LITTLE MORE OPEN. LOOK A LITTLE MORE NATURAL LOOK AND NOT SO DIVIDED UP. AND THOSE ARE THE THREE REQUESTS WE'RE MAKING TONIGHT REGARDING THIS MATTER. WERE YOU ABLE TO EXPRESS THAT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AS WELL? THOSE REQUESTS? NO. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT. OK? JUST A QUESTION. COULD YOU SHOW US KIND OF IN RELATIONSHIP WHERE YOUR HOME SITS, EITHER THAT OR ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE? NO, IT'S NOT. IT'S OVER HERE. THERE IT IS RIGHT THERE. OH, OK. I'M JUST TRYING TO SEE IN RELATION TO THE PLANTINGS AND THINGS THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. SO YEAH, AS A NURSERY OR THE APPLE CAN HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH IMPROVING SCREENING THERE. AND MISTER UNDERHILL IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND ADDRESSING THE THREE SUGGESTIONS FROM MR TIPPET REGARDING THE ADDITIONAL SCREENING AND PARKING THANK YOU, UH, ERIN UNDER HEALTH UNDER HILL AND HYDE, REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT? YES I THINK THESE ARE REQUESTS. WE ACTUALLY HEARD THESE FOR THE FIRST TIME THROUGH AN EMAIL THE OTHER DAY. WE THINK THEY'RE APPROPRIATE AND CAN AGREE TO ALL THREE OF THEM. I THINK WE LIKE THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH STAFF ON? YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GONNA PARK OVERNIGHT THERE FOR SURE. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WHAT OVERNIGHT IS TO FIND AS I THINK AS LONG AS THERE'S SOME REASONABLE TIME AFTER BUSINESS HOURS FOR PEOPLE TO GET OUT OF THERE AND LEAVE WITH THEIR EMPLOYEES, THEN THAT'S FINE. AND THEN, UM, THE LANDSCAPING. I THINK THAT'S AN APPROPRIATE REQUEST THAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE TREES AND, YEAH, BUT THE REQUEST AND I HAVE TRUCK PARKING. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S ALSO A CLARIFIED WHAT I MEAN THAT TRUCK MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. YES, I NO PROBLEMS WITH THAT. SO WE'RE NOT TALKING LIKE INDIVIDUAL, YOU KNOW? HALF TON PICKUP TRUCKS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LARGE SUM OF BOX TRUCKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. YEAH, SO THAT'S THAT'S CORRECT.

YEAH, WE AGREE. ALL RIGHT. UH MR TIPPETT ANY ANY REACTION TO WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE, UH APPLICANTS? UM, AGREEMENT TO YOUR REQUIRE. ARE YOU SUGGESTED CONDITIONS DOES SOUND SATISFACTORY, OK? UH, CAN STAFF MAKE SURE THAT THE LANGUAGE IS, UM APPROPRIATELY, UH, INCLUDED

[00:35:04]

SECOND YES. COUNCIL MEMBER MEMBERS? YES COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCIL MEMBER FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBER WILL TR YES, I HAVE SIX YES VOTES TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 006 2024 AS AMENDED. ALL RIGHT. AND MR TIPPER, YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY FOR THE WHOLE EVENING. OR YOU AND YOUR WIFE CAN GO ENJOY WHAT'S LEFT OF THE BEAUTIFUL NIGHT. UH, AND APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENDANCE. UM ORDINANCE 007 2023 IN ORDINANCE TO ACCEPT A 21.47 ACRE CONTRIBUTION CONSERVATION IS PENN HAS REQUESTED BY M DJ HOLDINGS LLC. THANK YOU. SO THIS CONSERVATION EASEMENT ENCOMPASSES TWO SEPARATE AREAS TOTALING 21.47 ACRES GENERALLY NORTH OF MORSE ROAD HERE IN THE WEST OF BEACH THERE, SO AREA ONE THERE, AREA TWO THERE. UM THE RED AND YELLOW AREA IS DEPICTED OR FOR CONSIDERATION ARE ADJACENT TO THE BLUE AREAS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY ACCEPTED AS CONSERVATION EASEMENTS COUNCIL. THE INTENT OF CONVEYING THE EASEMENT. IS TO ENSURE THE LONG TERM CONSERVATION AND PROTECTION OF THE PHYSICAL, BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL AND ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY OF THE AREA BY IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS DESIGNED TO PREVENT IMPACTS TRADITIONALLY ASSOCIATED WITH COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES. ADVANTAGEOUS TO THE CITY AS IT PROMOTES ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND AIDS IN MAINTAINING THE REGION'S ECOLOGICAL BALANCE. BY ACCEPTING THIS EASEMENT, THE CITY DOES NOT INHERIT LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR VIOLATIONS BY THE UNDERLYING PROPERTY OWNER OR THIRD PARTIES. HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNSEL REGARDING THE ORDINANCE? IS IT JUST THAT TOP BOX? THE YELLOW AREA HERE AND THE RED AREA HERE TOTALLY THE 21.4 OF THAT AT ALL. UH, GOOD, GOOD. IN THE BLUE AREA IN THE MIDDLE AS PREVIOUSLY ACCEPTED. MM. RIGHT. IF THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING OR 07 2023?

MAYOR SPALDING COUNCIL MEMBER FELLOWS YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WE YES. COUNCIL MEMBER KISSED COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCIL MEMBER? YES SIX. YES VOTE SHOULD HAVE ORDINANCE 007 2024. INTRODUCTION TO FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES ORDINANCE 08 2024

[10. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES]

OF FIRE, J SAYS GOOD UPDATE PUBLICATION REQUIREMENTS IS REQUESTED BY THE CITY OF NEW YORK. ALL RIGHT. AND YOUR CLERK IS THE ONE REQUESTING THIS. OH, OK. THIS ORDINANCE WAS DRAFTED BECAUSE OF A CHANGE IN OHIO LAW IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR, WHICH MAKES A CHANGE TO CITY CODE POSSIBLE. I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT TWO CODES. THE STATES IN NEW ALBANY SO JUST KIND OF HANG IN WITH ME. HOUSE BILL 33, WHICH WAS THE BIENNIAL BUDGET. THE OHIO GENERAL ASSEMBLY MADE CHANGES TO OHIO REVISED CODE 7 31.21 UNDER THE OLD VERSION, NEWSPAPER PUBLICATION OF A

[00:40:06]

UH, NEWSPAPER GENERAL CIRCULATION, THE STATE'S PUBLIC NOTICE WEBSITE. AND OR THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS, WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT. SO STATE LAW HAS LOOSENED THE REINS A BIT ON HOW WE PUBLISH WHICH MEANS THE CITY CAN'T TOO, BUT THE CITY HAS ITS OWN CODE THAT REQUIRES PUBLISHING LEGAL NOTICES IN THE NEWSPAPER. CURRENTLY THREE NEW ALBANY CODIFIED ORDINANCE SECTIONS, WHICH YOU'VE JUST READ IN THE TITLE REQUIRE NEWSPAPER PUBLICATION OF CERTAIN COUNCIL PLANNING COMMISSION AND BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS. PUBLIC HEARINGS RELATED TO LIKE AMENDING THE ZONING MAP, UH, ZONING APPEALS ZONING VARIANCES, PRIMARILY, UH CITY USES THE DAILY REPORTER AND RARELY BUT EXTENSIVELY THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH, UH, TO NOTIFY THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE HEARINGS AND DOING AS PER OUR CODE. UM WITH THE NEW PROPOSED CITY CODE, WHICH IS NOW PERMITTED US TO DO BY THE STATE. THE CITY PLANS TO UNIFY, UH, UTILIZE SELF PUBLICATION. THE SELF PUBLICATION OPTION DOESN'T CHANGE ANY OTHER NOTIFICATION.

PROVISIONS OF CITY CODE STAFF CONTINUES TO SEND OUT NEIGHBOR NOTICE LETTERS TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FT. WE CONTINUE TO PUT UP THOSE SIGNS AT LEAST 10 DAYS AHEAD. NONE OF THAT'S CHANGING. IT'S JUST HOW WE PUBLISH, UM THE PROPOSED CODE CHANGES FOR THE CITY BRINGS US IN LINE WITH THE CURRENT OHIO REVISED CODE. THE NEW OPTIONS CAN SAVE US MONEY MAKE DEADLINES EASIER TO MEET BECAUSE IT'S OUR OWN WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA THAT WE'RE POSTING ON, AND, UM, JUST MAKES THE INFORMATION FOR RESIDENTS IN PUBLIC TO ACCESS AS MUCH AS I LOVE A GOOD A GOOD NEWSPAPER. NOT MANY PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING THEIR LEGAL NOTICES THERE THESE DAYS. UH, THESE CHANGES WERE WORKSHOP WITH STAFF , UH, PLANNERS AND UH, CHIEF COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER OF POLAND AND, UH, ALSO, LAW DIRECTOR ALBRECHT AND I WANNA THANK DEPUTY CLERK NRA FOR HER IN DEPTH RESEARCH. WHICH KIND OF GOT US HERE. THE DEPUTY CLERKS ALSO CHECKED WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES SEE WHAT THEY WERE DOING, NOT ALL OF THEM HAD IN THEIR CITY CODE NEWSPAPER PUBLICATION REQUIREMENTS SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO CHANGE IT. AND DUBLIN. POWELL AND UPPER ARLINGTON ALL USE A WEBSITE PUBLISHING IN THEIR CODE, AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

SEEMS TO MAKE SENSE THESE DAYS CONSIDERING WE DON'T HAVE A LOCAL NEWSPAPER. SO LOOK FOR IT.

YEAH AND IT'S PERMISSIVE. IF WE WANTED TO GO TO A NEWSPAPER. WE STILL COULD. UM AND IT ONLY AFFECTS THESE SECTIONS WHICH ARE IN OUR CODE. THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT WE PUBLISH. SO SAY, THE DORA THAT'S THAT WE DO THAT NOT VIA OUR CODE, BUT VIA REQUIREMENTS IN A HIGHER REVISED CODE THAT STILL HAS TO GO FOR A NEWSPAPER AS BEST I READ THE CODE NOW, UM, IF WE CHANGE THE CHARTER, WE ABSOLUTELY STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH NEWSPAPER. IT'S A DIFFERENT SECTION OF ANYWAY, BUT THIS BRINGS OUR CODE. UP TO DATE WITH THE HIGHER ADVICE CODE FOR CERTAIN THINGS.

ALL RIGHT. I NEED ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE. WE'LL SET THAT FOR PUBLIC, UH, PUBLIC HEARING OR SECOND READING IN PUBLIC HEARING AND HOW I MEETING ON MARCH 19TH. ORDINANCE 09 2024 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND APPROPRIATIONS FOR CURRENT EXPENSES AND OTHER EXPENDITURES DURING THE FISCAL YEAR AND THE DECEMBER 31 2024 FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO A COMMUNITY AUTHORITY FUND IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,060,000 AND DECLARING EMERGENCY TO WAIVE THE SECOND READING. THANK YOU, MAYOR . THIS LEGISLATION REPRESENTS THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE ANNUAL BUDGET ADOPTED FOR 2024 SINCE THE ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET . UM THE FUNDING AND PLANNED EXPENDITURES FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT N A OR NEW ALBANY COMMUNITY AUTHORITY FUND, WHICH RECEIVES FUNDING FROM THE MONEY THAT WE SEND OVER FOR INCOME TAX FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND. THERE HAS BEEN UPDATED, UM THE MAIN UPDATES TO THAT PARTICULAR. UH, EXPENSE HAS BEEN RELATED TO RELOCATING INNOVATE AND ALBANY. AND THAT IS THE CITY'S INCUBATOR FOR TECHNOLOGY, START UPS AND ENTREPRENEURS AND SMALL BUSINESSES AND ALSO TO PROVIDE FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR OPERATING EXPENSES. AS A RESULT, UM AND AGAIN THAT WAS FOR $3,060,000 ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION FIVE OR 5 2024 AUTHORIZING A REQUEST FROM MAKE A, UH, IS ALSO ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT. UM AND THIS IS WHAT AUTHORIZES THE C IC. UH, A TOTAL SPENDING OF 3,000,100 AND $85,000 THAT ALSO INCLUDES, UM, GENERAL OPERATIONS, BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES, UH, FOR CONSIDERATION FOR THE, UM, RELOCATION OF THE BUILDING, INCLUDING IMPROVEMENTS AND ANY RELATED COST. THE NEW ALBANY COMMUNITY AUTHORITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS MEETING ON THURSDAY MARCH 14TH TO CONSIDER

[00:45:01]

THE CITY DOES HAVE THOSE AID RESTRICTIONS THAT, UH, WILL BE RECORDED WITH THIS PLOT TO ENSURE THAT IS, UM, MET AS A ZONING REQUIREMENT, SO THIS ALSO HAS TWO RESERVES. UM, LOCATED HERE AND HERE. THAT WILL BE DEDICATED TO THE CITY PER THE PLATS. THESE WILL BE OWNED BY THE CITY AND ALSO MAINTAINED BY THE HO A IN PERPETUITY. THIS SECTION IS ALSO IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE APPROVED FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. UM, THIS IS THE FINAL PHASE. UH, SO STAPH IS VERIFIED THAT IT'S MEETING ALL OF THE PARK AND OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SUBDIVISION AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL UNANIMOUSLY BACK IN DECEMBER. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE? AND WE'LL SET ORDINANCE 0 11 FOR

[00:50:01]

[11. RESOLUTIONS AND PUBLIC HEARING]

[00:55:04]

[01:00:05]

BOTH OF THESE, UM ARE COMPETITIVELY BID ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. AND I THINK THAT YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF VALUE, UH, BEING ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE BECAUSE THEY GIVE US UH, AN AN ECONOMY OF SCALE PRICING THAT WOULDN'T WOULDN'T OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE TO US. UM SO, UH, THAT'S WHERE THEY'LL BE PURCHASED THROUGH THE TOTAL COST OF THE ONE TON TRUCK AND UP. FT.

IS $171,404 AND FUNDING FOR THIS HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE 2024 CAPITAL EQUIPMENT BUDGET. BE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE RESOLUTION. FROM THE PUBLIC HEARING ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING RESOLUTION RO 6 2024. NO PUBLIC COMMENT. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE RESOLUTION? UM MAKE A MOTION OF ME REAL QUICK. MIKE, WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE OLD TRACK ONCE WE GET THE NEW ONE, YEAH, YEAH. SO THIS ONE IS, UM UH, IN NOT GOOD SHAPE, SO IT IT HAS SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT, UH, ISSUES WITH IT. UH, SO WE WILL BE SELLING IT OFF THROUGH OUR GOV DEALS. UH, I WOULD HAVE INCLUDED, UH, OTHER DETAILS REGARDING, UH, APPROVAL TO DISPOSE OF THE OLD TRUCK. UM IT IT IT IS GONNA FALL UNDER A VALUE OF $10,000 THAT WE WOULD WE WOULD GET BACK FROM THAT. UNFORTUNATELY SO I'M NOT INCLUDING IN THAT IN THAT, BUT THIS IS THIS IS KIND OF A RARE SITUATION. WHERE WE'RE NOT HOLDING ON TO IT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. JUST BECAUSE OF OUR EX EXPANDED OPERATION. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU KNOW SOME REDUNDANCY IN SOME OF OUR FLEET TO ENSURE WE CAN PROVIDE PREDICTABLE SERVICE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THIS ONE HAS TO GO, UH, IMMEDIATELY. CAN USE IT FOR TOUCH A TRUCK. NO IT HASN'T BEEN IN TOUCH A TRUCK, PROBABLY FOR 10 YEARS, SO HOW TO USE IT IN THE AS A GOLF CART FOR THE TO UNDERSTAND. YEAH. I DON'T THINK ANYONE APPEARS TO BE DRAGGING INTO, UH ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON THE RESOLUTION. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE A MOTION I MOVED FOR THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION. RO 6 2024 2ND. COUNCIL MEMBER K COUNCIL MEMBER WILL TRAVEL YES, MAYOR SPALDING. YES, COUNCIL MEMBER BRISK. YES COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCIL MEMBER FELLOWS SIX YES. VOTE THAT RO 6 2024. RESOLUTION R 7 2024 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MANAGER ADVERTISE BID AWARD AND EXECUTE CONTRACTS RELATED TO THE RECONSTRUCTION OF SOUTH HARLEM ROAD, MISTER MARKET. THANK YOU AGAIN. UH, SO THIS IS SOUTH HARLAND ROAD. I THINK IT'S A ROADWAY THAT WE'RE ALL, UH, PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH. UM, SO THIS ROADWAY CONNECTS, UH, PORTION OF, UH, US 62 AND MORSE ROAD AND, UM, OVER THE YEARS, I THINK IT WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED AS A AS A COUNTY ROADWAY. IT WAS PART OF WHAT WAS PLAIN TOWNSHIP AT THE TIME. AND THEN JUST BY WAY OF ANNEXATIONS OVER TIME, UH, APPROXIMATELY THE EARLY SEVENTIES OF THIS ROADWAY WAS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY, AND IT BECAME OURS.

WHICH HAS JUST BEEN. IT'S BEEN A GREAT GIFT. SO, UH, WE'RE REALIZING THAT UH, THE ROADWAY THAT'S IN PLACE TODAY. IT DOESN'T REALLY NEED ANY ANY CURRENT STANDARD AS IT RELATES TO BOTH, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH, UH, YOU KNOW, JUST OVERALL GEOMETRY CONSIDERATIONS AND THEN ALSO, UH, DRAINAGE IS A REALLY A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN. UM, BECAUSE OF THIS BECAUSE OF THE OF THE CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE TO WATER AND THE FLOODING CONDITIONS ALONG THE ENTIRE ROADWAY. IT LEADS US TO DO ALMOST AN ANNUAL IMPROVEMENT ON THE ROADWAY, AND I THINK JUST OVER TIME WE'VE BEEN WE'VE BEEN REALLY TAKING AN INCREMENTAL BAND AID APPROACH WITH IT JUST TO KEEP IT IN IN IN SHAPE. BUT I THINK THE TIMES NOW TO JUST MAKE A PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT THAT THAT WILL ADDRESS THESE THESE ISSUES AND PUT IN PLACE A MUCH MORE APPROPRIATE ROADWAY SECTION FOR THIS UM JUST OVER TIME, AND GIVEN THE GROWTH OF OUR CITY, UH, THIS THIS SECTION OF

[01:05:01]

SO AT THE SAME TIME, UM YOU KNOW, WE WE'VE RECOGNIZED THAT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CONCERNS ADDRESSED AS IT RELATES TO THE SECTION OF ROADWAY PRIMARILY RELATED TO, YOU KNOW, DRAINAGE. UM, YOU'VE DRIVEN PAST THERE AND WE HAVE A LOT OF RESIDENTS THAT HAVE, YOU KNOW, COMPLETELY FLOODED FRONT YARDS FOR MOST OF THE SPRING TIME. SO UH, THIS PROJECT WILL WILL PUT IN PLACE AN APPROPRIATE DOWNSTREAM SANITARY OR I'M SORRY . STORM SEWER OUTLET, UH, FOR THEM TO AT LEAST HAVE OPTIONS ON THEIR ON THEIR PROPERTY TO DRAIN TO DRAIN THEIR PROPERTY. UM SAME TIME PEDESTRIAN SAFETY HAS BEEN A CONCERN AS IT IS TODAY. THERE'S NO PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES INCLUDED WITH THE ROADWAY ITSELF . UM AND THAT IN CONJUNCTION WITH SOME, UH YOU KNOW, DEMONSTRATED CONCERNS WITH REGARD TO VEHICULAR SPEED ON THE ROADWAY. IT IT IT JUST REALLY IT REALLY SEEMED LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO ADDRESS THE MAINTENANCE NEEDS THAT WE HAVE WITH THIS ROADWAY AND THEN INCORPORATE SOME OTHER ELEMENTS TO ADDRESS THESE OTHER CONCERNS AS WELL. UH, SO WE WERE ABLE TO EXPAND OUR PROJECT. THE SCOPE OF OUR PROJECT TO INCLUDE A SEPARATE LEISURE TRAIL. THERE'LL BE A GENERALLY AN 8 FT WIDE ASPHALT LEISURE TRAIL THAT'S GONNA GO ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THIS WILL PROVIDE A CONTINUOUS PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION BETWEEN, UH, JAMES RIVER ROAD TO THE SOUTH AND THEN US 62 TO THE NORTH TO THIS WILL REALLY BE A MEANINGFUL CONNECTION. UH, FOR PEDESTRIANS, UM AT THE SAME TIME , UH, IN IN RESPONSE TO SOME FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT AT OUR OUR PUBLIC MEETING LAST YEAR, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO WORK WITH RESIDENTS AND INTRODUCE, UM, SOME CENTER MEDIANS. UH, THESE MEDIANS. WE'RE GONNA HAVE THREE OF THEM, UH, AT AT STRATEGIC LOCATIONS. IT WAS CHALLENGING TO KIND OF SHOEHORN THESE THINGS IN GIVEN THE NUMBER OF CURD CUTS ALONG THE ROADWAY AND YOU KNOW, WE OBVIOUSLY NEED TO MAINTAIN UNOBSTRUCTED ACCESS TO PEOPLE'S HOMES. BUT I THINK THAT WE'VE LANDED ON THREE VERY EFFECTIVE AREAS THAT WE INTEND TO REALLY FORCE. COURSE TO REALLY REDUCE THEIR SPEED. UM SO I THINK THAT YOU KNOW, CHANNELIZING, UH, YOU KNOW, FORCING PEOPLE TO GO INTO THESE NARROW AREAS. UM YOU KNOW, INTERMITTENTLY ALONG ALONG THIS ROADWAY IS GONNA REALLY JUST FORCED TO TRAVEL TRAFFIC TO SLOW DOWN. SO UM, SO AT THE SAME TIME , YOU KNOW THIS WILL ADDRESS IT'LL. IT'LL ALSO PROVIDE A DESIGNATED SPACE FOR PEDESTRIANS . IT'S THAT'S SEPARATED FROM THE ROADWAY ITSELF. SO UM, OVERALL, IT'S A COMPREHENSIVE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. IT WILL BE A COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION. WE'RE NOT INTENDING TO USE ANYTHING THAT'S OUT THERE TODAY. UH PUT IN PLACE . UH, OUR STANDARD, YOU KNOW, CONCRETE BASE AND OTHER OTHER MATERIALS THAT WILL ENSURE THAT WE HAVE A LONG WAY FOR THE ROAD.

THE ROAD. I'M SORRY. WERE YOU CLOSED THE ROAD DURING CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC WILL BE MAINTAINED. LOCAL TRAFFIC WILL BE MAINTAINED. YOU KNOW, THERE'S RESIDENTS LIVING ALONG THE ROADWAY, SO WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT ACCESS IS MAINTAINED. YOU KNOW FOR PEOPLE TO GET TO AND FROM THEIR HOMES AND THEN FOR EMERGENCY, WHAT EMERGENCY MEDICAL EQUIPMENT TO GET IN AND OUT. WE UM I DESCRIBED THAT YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME SOFT COSTS RELATED TO THIS WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING WITH WITH PRIME, UH, WHO'S DOING SO MUCH WORK FOR US IN THE AREA OF INTEL, BUT THEY'RE GONNA BE, UH, ESSENTIALLY ASSIGNED. A VERY ACTIVE ROLE OF PROACTIVELY COMMUNICATING WITH ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS, SO THEY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. WHEN YOU KNOW THEY DON'T WAKE UP ONE DAY TO A SURPRISE THAT YOU KNOW THE DRIVEWAY IS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE ROADWAY.

UM BUT WITH WITH THAT IN MIND WE ARE INTENDING TO MAINTAIN TRAFFIC. THERE'S CERTAINLY GOING TO BE PERIODS OF TIME. WHERE, UM IT'LL BE SLOW. BUT OUR GOAL IS TO BE AS PROACTIVE AND COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE AS AS WE CAN. THAT'S A PRETTY NARROW ROAD. CAN YOU DESCRIBE THESE TRAFFIC CALMING ISLANDS ARE THESE 3 FT WIDE 4 FT. WIDE THEY CAN HAVE LANDSCAPING AND OK, SO, UM, SORRY. I DIDN'T FLIP THROUGH THIS EARLIER. SO UH, THIS IS A IT'S A LONGER STRETCH OF ROADWAY . SO THE ROADWAY ITSELF OUR OUR TOTAL IMPROVEMENT LENGTH IS ABOUT, UH, A LITTLE OVER HALF A MILE. SO KIND OF STARTING ON YOUR LEFT HERE. THIS IS JAMES RIVER ROAD AND FURTHER OUT THIS WAY IS MARSH ROAD. SO UM, KIND OF BEGINNING IN IN THIS AREA WE'RE GONNA HAVE IN PLACE A 22 FT WIDE ROADWAY. UH, SO 11 FT LANES IN IN EACH DIRECTION. THESE ARE THE LOCATIONS WHERE WE'RE PROPOSING TO PUT THE CENTER MEETING IN. SO THIS IS THAT THAT IMMEDIATE THE IMMEDIATE ENTRY POINT. UM YOU KNOW, OFF OF OFF OF MORSE ROAD INTO WHAT IS THE KIND OF THE UNIMPROVED SECTION OF HARLEM ROAD. SO THERE WILL BE, UM, YOU KNOW, KIND OF AN IMMEDIATE, UH TRAFFIC CALMING ELEMENT HERE, UH, THAT WILL HOPEFULLY SET KIND OF A STANDARD FOR THE ROADWAY ITSELF. IT IS A 5 FT IN WIDTH. UH AND IT WILL CHOKE THE LANES DOWN TO, UM, BASICALLY, 10 FT ON BOTH SIDES, SO IT IT'S GONNA BE VERY NARROW, VERY INTENTIONALLY NARROW AND REALLY FORCE THAT VEHICLES TO SLOW DOWN AT THE SAME TIME, TOO. YOU KNOW, WE HEARD A LOT OF FEEDBACK ABOUT YOU KNOW THIS BECOMING A CONVENIENT TRUCK CUT THROUGH AND YOU KNOW, JUST BASED ON THE USE.

[01:10:03]

UH, SUBDIVISION THERE. SO UM, WE HAVE, UH, A RECURRING ISSUE THAT HAPPENS MORE OR LESS EVERY EVERY SCHOOL DAY. UH, TO WHERE, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS PARKING LOT HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS A STUDENT PICKUP AND DROP OFF AREA AND WHAT HAPPENS IS PARTICULARLY IN THE PICKUP AND PARTICULARLY IN THE AFTERNOON. UH UM, I GUESS THAT'S WHEN YOU PICK UP. BUT ANYWAY, UH, WE HAVE SITUATIONS WHERE PARENTS ARE GETTING THERE VERY EARLY. UH, THEY'RE BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LOADING IN, UH TO, UH, THE PARKING LOT AREA AND THEY'RE BASICALLY FILLING UP ALL OF THAT STACKING SPACE WITHIN THAT PARKING AREA QUICKLY, WHICH THEN LEADS TO, YOU KNOW, A BACKUP.

THAT KIND OF BLEEDS OUT ON TUESDAY ROUTE 605. AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES WHERE, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'VE ALL OBSERVED DIFFERENT DIFFERENT CONDITIONS, BUT I'VE SEEN IT BACKED UP. YOU KNOW, 500 FT. BEYOND YOU KNOW, EVEN EVEN TO THIS AREA. UM SO BASICALLY, THIS PROJECT INTENDS TO ADDRESS THIS. WITH THIS PROJECT. WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDING, UH, WE'RE GONNA BE ADDING SOME PAVEMENT TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE ROADWAY HERE, UH, TO ADD A DESIGNATED DROP RIGHT TURN LINE, SO THE INTENT THERE IS OBVIOUSLY TO PROVIDE STACKING SPACE WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY

[01:15:06]

I MEAN, FUTURE DEVELOPMENT ON THE SCHOOL CAMPUS IN THAT AREA, YOU KNOW, MAY MAY INCLUDE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPE AT SOME POINT, BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST REALLY PRIMARILY ATHLETIC

[01:20:03]

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE JUST JUST SO I'M CLEAR ARE YOU REFERRING TO DOWN HERE AT CORVIS FIELDS WAY OR ARE YOU REFERRING TO DOWN HERE AT? UM THERE THERE? YEAH. I MEAN, YOU USE IT TO GET ACROSS TO THE TO THE CHURCH, DON'T YOU? DON'T YOU HAVE THEM OVER THERE FROM THE SCHOOL TO GET ACROSS TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. IT'S TYPICALLY JUST MID BLOCK CROSSINGS LIKE START. WE HAD THEM OVER THERE AS WELL. MAYBE I'M WRONG. I DON'T I DON'T THINK SO. NOT ONLY AT THE YEAH, I. I UNDERSTAND II, I YOUR CONCERN IS VALID AND I AGREE WITH IT. AND I THINK YOU KNOW, NOT THAT THIS IS THE ANSWER TO ALL OF IT. BUT I THINK THAT THIS IS GONNA HELP BECAUSE IT'S GONNA GET PEOPLE. THIS IS REALLY GOING TO, UH, JUST TRAFFIC IN THE AREA . YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW I MENTIONED YOU KNOW, THERE'S YOU KNOW, IN THE LEGISLATIVE REPORT THERE, THERE'S THAT DEFINITELY THERE'S THAT INTERFACE BETWEEN YOU KNOW PEDESTRIANS AND VEHICLES AND YOU HAVE A VERY UNPREDICTABLE SITUATION OUT THERE WHERE PEOPLE ARE, YOU KNOW, GOING LEFT OF CENTER AND TRYING TO GET AROUND THE OBSTRUCTION. IT'S NOT A NOT A GOOD SITUATION. SO I. I REALLY THINK THAT BY SIMPLIFYING AND PUTTING MORE, UM MORE ORDER TO WHAT IS CURRENTLY DISORDERED, I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A LOT SAFER TO WHERE PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE ABLE TO BETTER MANAGE THEIR OWN ACCESS AND TRAFFIC, AND I THINK PEDESTRIANS ARE GOING TO HAVE A BETTER VIEW OF THOSE CROSSINGS.

BUT YEAH, I UNDERSTAND. NO, I. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PLAN. I I KNOW JOSH IS HERE. I'M SURE YOU'RE ALREADY COMING UP WITH VIDEOS AND STUFF TO GET THE WORD OUT ON THIS, I THINK UM, COMMUNICATION, THE BETTER. I THINK A LOT OF PARENTS WILL BE EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT THIS, BUT TO THE EXTENT THAT PRIOR TO SCHOOL GETTING OUT THERE'S GONNA BE ANY SORT OF TRAFFIC DISRUPTIONS. AND THEN WHEN GO COMES BACK, I THINK THAT'D BE REALLY IMPORTANT TO DO BUT I. I MEAN, AS SOMEONE WHO SPENDS A LOT OF TIME ON MY KIDS DO TAKE THE BUS. BUT YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THAT YOU HAVE TO GO ON THIS LINES. THIS WILL DEFINITELY IMPROVE THE FLOW. YEAH I I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'RE REFERRING TO TRAFFIC INTERRUPTIONS DURING CONSTRUCTION. YEAH WELL, LIKE, WELL THE FLOW OF GOING INTO THE SCHOOL BE CHANGED DURING CONSTRUCTION. YES THAT THAT'LL ALL HAPPEN, UH, AT AT THE SAME AT THE SAME TIME, SO THE OTHER THING YOU KNOW, WE WE'LL BE MAINTAINING TRAFFIC FOR THE DURATION OF CONSTRUCTION. UH THE BENEFIT HERE IS THAT MOST OF THE WORK IS HAPPENING KIND OF ALONGSIDE THE WESTERN EDGE OF PAVEMENT. WE DO HAVE THE BENEFIT IN THIS AREA OF SOME EXCESS PAVEMENT. THIS IS KIND OF AN OLD LIKE O DOT ROAD TO WHERE THERE'S JUST ADDITIONAL PAVEMENT OUT THERE THAT WE'RE NOT USING, UH, AS PART OF THE ROADWAY, SO WE'RE GONNA BE SHIFTING TRAFFIC A LITTLE BIT TO THE EAST IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONSTRUCTION ON THE WEST AND MAINTAIN. THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC KIND OF ON ON THE EAST SIDE, SO MOST OF THE CONSTRUCTION WILL OCCUR DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, SO HOPEFULLY TRAFFIC WILL BE, UM, COUPLE OF YEARS. AND THERE'S YEAH. THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO MENTION IS THAT ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF CONFLICTS BETWEEN VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS IS THE RESTRICT MY TERM MOVEMENTS ON RED, AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT AS FAR AS THAT THAT SOUTH DOMINATES CONCERN, ESPECIALLY AS WE HAVE PEOPLE TRYING TO TURN LEFT IN THE NORTHBOUND DIRECTION . UM THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD LOCATION FOR A NO. NO TURN ON RED. I THINK SO. IT'S A VERY GOOD IDEA. I DO THINK WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS GONNA MAKE A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE. DON'T GET ME WRONG. I JUST THINK ANY OTHER THOUGHTS WE COULD HAVE AT THE SAME TIME. GOOD. OK, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON RESOLUTION RO EIGHT. OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING RESOLUTION R 08 2024. SINGLE PUBLIC COMMENT. WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE RESOLUTION? MOVE FOR ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION R 8 2024 COUNCIL MEMBER B YES. MEMBER? YES. COUNCIL MEMBER FELLOWS? YES, COUNCIL MEMBER?

UH, THEY WILL COVER ONE IS THE 2 TO 5 AREA, WHICH IS A LOW CLIMBER AREA AND THEN THE OTHER ONE WILL COVER A PARTIALLY COVER THE 5 TO 12 LARGER CLIMBING AREA. WE CAN'T GET AS HIGH AS THAT BIG TOWER. BUT THE BIG NET AND ALL THOSE WOOD CLIMBING AREAS WOULD BE COVERED BY THE SUN SALE. UH, WE'RE THINKING OF GOING WITH LIKE BE POST WITH A SLIGHT GRAY COLOR ON THE SALE. YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN THESE OVER PLAYGROUNDS IN DOWNTOWN OR OR OTHER CITIES. UM, THIS IS PRETTY COMMON, UH, THEY ARE SEASONAL, SO WE WILL HAVE TO TAKE THEM DOWN IN THE WINTER BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT RATED FOR SNOW. UM BUT WE THINK WE COULD GET THEM UP IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR SO THAT WE'LL HAVE MOST OF THE SUMMER, UM, TO PROVIDE THAT SHADE OVER THE PLAYGROUND. UH UH, AS YOU HEARD BEFORE EARLIER TONIGHT, UH, CITY CODE ALLOWS THE USE OF A COOPER PURCHASING PROGRAM AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO COMPETITIVE BIDDING.

WHAT ABOUT THE RAILINGS FOR THE WALKS ? WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO BE INSTALLED? SO THE EXISTING BOARDWALK IN THE CLOSED PORTION OF THE PARK? UM, I THINK WE WERE STILL IS THE LATEST UPDATE WE GOT FROM THE PHASE ONE CONTRACTORS OF LYNN, UM, THAT WOULD BE INSTALLED. THANK YOU. DROVE BY SUNDAY AND OK, WE NEED MORE PARKING. WE ALSO ARE WORKING ON EXPANSION OF THE PARKING LOT, SO WE WOULD WE ABLE TO ESSENTIALLY DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF SPACES BUT I'M SURE WITH THIS THIS WEATHER PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE ALL THE TIME.

[01:35:04]

UM, SO I HAVE SO FAR MET WITH MARK MOREHEAD. I HAVE ANOTHER GAL THAT I'M MEETING WITH. WE MET THROUGH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THIS THURSDAY. THERE'LL BE MORE TO COME ABOUT THAT BUT START THINKING ABOUT IT. UM THIS BE MARK MOORHEAD. I MEAN, WE HAD SOME GREAT IDEAS. UM TALKED ABOUT MAYBE A DARKER PINK COLOR. UM, A SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOAD OUR OWN PHOTOS INTO SO MAYBE SOME SORT OF ROTATING PHOTO DISPLAY SO WE CAN KEEP IT FRESH BECAUSE THOSE ONES GET OLDER. UM BUT WOULD ALSO TAKE UP LESS SPACE. MAYBE ONE MOUNTING THE MONDO PADS. YOU DON'T HAVE THAT BIG CARD IN THERE. THAT'S KIND OF WONKY THAT I MEAN, WE COULD FIND SOMETHING SMALLER THAT WE NEED TO MOVE OUT FOR WHEN WE HAVE OVERLOAD MEETINGS LIKE WE DON'T NEED THAT GIANT ONE ANYMORE. WE COULD JUST MOUNT IT THE WAY THEY DO IN IN ADMIN OR CD D BULLPEN, UM, LIKE ALL THIS, LIKE, OH, YEAH. NO THAT WOULD BE GREAT. UM SO MORE TO COME, UH, FEEL FREE TO COME TO ME WITH ANY IDEAS OR REQUESTS. 01 THING HE MENTIONED WAS ALSO MAYBE, INCLUDING SOMETHING ABOUT FOUR PILLARS IN THERE.

WE'LL START WITH COUNCIL CHAMBERS. ALL RIGHT, GOOD ENOUGH. WELL, I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS IN THAT REGARD. IF WE CAN'T IF WE CAN'T GET THAT PHOTO. I'D LOVE TO SEND IT TO HER IF WE CAN. MAYBE AT LEAST THE STAGE SOMETHING, OK, WE'LL FIGURE SOMETHING. ALL RIGHT? UH, ANYTHING FROM THE FINANCE DIRECTOR? NOTHING MORE TO REPORT . ALL RIGHT CITY MANAGER, SO I HAVE THREE QUICK ITEMS. UH, THE FIRST IS JUST A REMINDER. THE DEVELOPMENT STAFF AND I ARE GOING TO MEET WITH KEVIN ZEPERNICK OF THRIVE COMMUNITIES ON THURSDAY. UH WE HAVE, UH TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN PARTICIPATING IN THAT MEETING. WE COULD ACCOMMODATE UP TO ONE MORE. UH SO, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER WILL TROUT COUNCIL MEMBER KISS THEY BELIEVE ARE GOING TO JOIN US. THAT'LL BE, UH AGAIN THURSDAY. ON THE SEVENTH AT 930 AT THE THRIVE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS, JUST A REMINDER THAT IS NOT LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. NOR IS IT LOCATED IN THE ALBANY SCHOOL DISTRICT. THAT BEING SAID, UH THE DEVELOPER HEARD. COUNCIL'S CONCERNS AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO LISTEN TO OUR OUR, UH UH, FEEDBACK, SO THIS WILL BE THE SECOND MEETING. WE HAVE HAD ONE MEETING WITH THEM. UH AT THE, UH, NOBODY COMPANY SO WE'RE WE'RE, UH OPTIMISTIC THAT THEY THEY'RE WILLING TO LISTEN TO OUR CONCERNS. HM? THE SECOND THING, UH, THERE'S BEEN SOME SOME, UH QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OPERATION OF THE COAT RED SYSTEM. UH SO I'VE ASKED JOSH TO, UH, JUST GIVE A REAL QUICK, UH, UPDATE ON HOW THE CODE RED SYSTEM WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE, UH UH, THE , UH, TORNADO SIRENS AND GIVEN HIS BACKGROUND AS A, UH, FORMER METEOROLOGIST AFTER HE'S THE PERFECT PERSON TO, UH TO TAKE THAT THANKS FOR SETTING ME UP. I DID SPEND, UH, ABOUT 16 YEARS WORKING IN FRONT OF A GREEN SCREEN SO I WOULD FEEL MUCH COMFORTABLE IF WE COULD INSTALL GREEN SCREEN HERE, AND I COULD POINT THAT WAY, BUT I'LL I'LL DO MY BEST. SO AFTER SEVERAL TORNADOES HIT CENTRAL OHIO ON FEBRUARY 28TH, WE DID HAVE SOME RESIDENTS ASKING WHY THEY DID NOT RECEIVE ALERTS THROUGH THE CODE RED SYSTEM. I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A QUICK LITTLE BACKGROUND ON CODE RED. IT'S AN EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM THAT WE USE TO NOTIFY RESIDENTS ABOUT I IMPORTANT SITUATIONS.

TRADITIONALLY WE'VE USED IT HERE IN THE NEW ALBANY COMMUNITY FOR THINGS LIKE MOSQUITO SPRAYING FOR ROAD CLOSURES FOR EVENTS AND ALSO SO FOR SOME WEATHER WARNINGS IF YOU COULD GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE THERE WHEN IT DOES COME TO THE WEATHER WARNINGS, THE COAT RED WEATHER ALERTS ARE AUTOMATED. THEY'RE NOT MANUALLY SET OUT SO THEY ARE AUTOMATED AND THEY'RE TRIGGERED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WARNINGS. SO WHERE YOU MIGHT HAVE ME OR SOMEONE FROM MY TEAM MANUALLY ENTERING AN ALERT FOR A MOSQUITO SPRAY OR FOR A ROAD CLOSURE? THESE ARE AUTOMATED INCOME FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WARNINGS INCLUDE THINGS LIKE TORNADO WARNING. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS. WINTER STORM WARNINGS FLASH FLOODS THINGS OF THAT NATURE. MOST OF THESE ALERTS DO NOT INCLUDE WATCHES OR ADVISORIES. THE EXCEPTION WITH ADVISORIES ARE

[01:40:02]

WE'RE ONLY GOING TO GET A WARNING. UH TO OUR OUR PHONES OR TO OUR EMAIL ACCOUNTS. WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET A WATCH A TORNADO WATCH. WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET A WARNING FOR A NEARBY COMMUNITY.

SO IT HAS TO BE SPECIFIC TO NEW ALBANY. IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE THE CODE RED, UM APP ON YOUR PHONE, YOU WILL BE ALERTED BASED ON WHERE YOU'RE LOCATED. SO SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU WERE TRAVELING TO TENNESSEE AND THERE WERE A TORNADO WARNING ISSUED IN THAT PART OF TENNESSEE. YOU WOULD RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION ON YOUR PHONE. SO I THINK IT'S UH, ALSO IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT AS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT, WE'RE NOT REALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR SHARING THE WEATHER ALERTS. IT'S A NICE FEATURE THAT WE HAVE AS PART OF THE CODE RED SYSTEM, BUT I THINK WE MIGHT NEED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT UH HOW FAR WE WANNA TAKE THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO ALERTING OUR RESIDENTS ABOUT WEATHER RELATED ISSUES BECAUSE THERE ARE AGENCIES SUCH AS THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, THERE ARE TV STATIONS WHO HAVE APPS THAT PROVIDE SOME OF THESE WEATHER ALERTS. AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO BE HELD LIABLE IF WE BECOMING THE WEATHER SOURCE. AS MUCH AS I LOVE WEATHER AS A FORM OF METEOROLOGIST. I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO HAVE THAT RESPONSIBILITY AS BEING THE WEATHER SOURCE. SO UH, IT MIGHT JUST BE THE FACT THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A GREATER DISCUSSION AND ANALYZE HOW WE USE CODE RED AND BOTTOM LINE. WE WANT TO KEEP OUR RESIDENTS SAFE, AND WE'LL DO EVERYTHING IT TAKES TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN, SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO ASSESS AND ANALYZE THE TOOLS THAT WE HAVE. BUT JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON HOW THIS WORKS AND WHY YOU WEREN'T RECEIVING NOTIFICATIONS. SO JUST A QUICK QUESTION UNDER THE CURRENT SYSTEM WITH THE POLYGON HAD ALREADY BEEN IN THAT THAT FIELD OF THE WARNING THAT WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE CODE RED.

READ THE WAY IT WORKS WHEN A WARNING IS ISSUED, THAT SENDS AN AUTOMATED ALERT. SO IF WE HAD BEEN IN THAT POLYGON, WE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED AN ALERT AND I DID FOLLOW UP WITH CODE RED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS WORKING. WE LOOKED AT OUR WEATHER NOTIFICATIONS. IT APPEARS EVERYTHING'S WORKING THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. SO I GUESS WE HAVE A CHOICE OF WHAT TRIGGERS THE CODE RED FOR OUR COMMUNITY IS EITHER WE GO WITH THE MODERN POLYGON ASPECT, WHICH WOULD MORE ACCURATELY ALERT FOLKS TO A TORNADO IN PROXIMITY TO THEIR LOCATION. OR WE COULD FALL BACK TO THE FRANKLIN COUNTY MODEL, WHICH IS IF YOU'RE IN THE YELLOW ZONE. THAT WOULD ALSO POTENTIALLY ISSUE I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THE OPTION TO CHANGE BECAUSE SINCE IT IS TRIGGERED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOESN'T CHANGE. THEY STICK WITH THAT POLYGON APPROACH. OK, SO WHEN IT COMES TO THE SIRENS GOING OFF, THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON THE RIGHT PICTURE THAT'S FROM FRANKLIN COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. SO AS FAR AS I KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION TO, UM, ADJUST OUR NOTIFICATIONS BASED ON FRANKLIN COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, BUT YOU DID A REALLY GOOD JOB OF ANSWERING THE QUESTION. I FAILED TO ASK SO EXACTLY RIGHT SO I MEAN, WE DON'T CONTROL THE DATA. THAT CODE RED USES TO ISSUE THE CORRECT THAT YOU KNOW, PART OF THAT SYSTEM IS CHOSEN THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALERT

[01:45:01]

I BELIEVE THEY'RE TIED TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NOTIFICATIONS OK, PERFECT. AND I MEAN, THIS ISN'T ANYTHING THAT I THINK WE HAVE CONTROL OVER THE FACT THAT THAT POLYGON IS SO DEFINED AND A TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN AT MINK AND GRAHAM ROAD, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, IS THREE MINUTES FROM HERE. YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE YOU HEAR THE SIRENS GOING OFF AND I GUESS BACK IN THE DAY IF IT IF THERE WAS A TORNADO, YOU KNOW 30 MILES, YOU WERE STILL GO IN THE BASEMENT.

AND NOW LIKE WE'RE GOING STREET BY STREET AND PARSING IT, UM I GUESS IF WE ARE GONNA DO THE CODE RED IF THE SIRENS ARE GOING OFF, I FEEL LIKE I DON'T KNOW. WE EITHER MAKE IT CLEAR THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO NOTIFY THEM DURING TORNADOES IN FUTURE, OR I WOULD PREFER IF IT SIRENS GOING OFF. THEN WE'RE ISSUING A CODE. IN ADDITION TO THAT. AND YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT ABOUT THE SIRENS. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE FOR. TO ALERT YOU THAT THERE'S SERIOUS WEATHER. THERE'S SEVERE WEATHER, SO THE APPROACH SHOULD BE WHEN YOU HEAR THAT SIREN, YOU KNOW. GO AND TAKE THOSE STEPS OF , UH, YOU KNOW YOUR PLAN OF ACTION THAT YOU'VE HOPEFULLY PREPARED AHEAD OF TIME, UM, IN RELATION TO THAT WE DO HAVE SEVERE WEATHER AWARENESS WEEK STARTING MARCH 17TH, SO WE'LL PUT OUT COMMUNICATION AND MESSAGING RELATED TO THAT AND WE CAN FINE TUNE OUR APPROACH BEFORE WE START THAT COMMUNICATION PROCESS, BUT, YEAH, THANKS FOR BRINGING THAT UP. I HAVE A YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW THIS. THIS MIGHT BE A CODE RED QUESTION. BUT HOW OFTEN IS THAT POLYGON UPDATED? I KNOW THERE WAS SOME CONCERNS THAT OH, WE'LL LET THE TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN JUST THREE MILES FROM HERE. IN A SPLIT SECOND. IT COULD HAVE BEEN , YOU KNOW, MOVED NORTH. IS IT CONSTANTLY UPDATING AND CHANGING THE BASED ON THE DATA THEY'RE RECEIVING? THEY DO ISSUE NEW WARNINGS AND THEY UPDATE THE WARNING SO YOU WILL SEE THINGS CHANGE, OK? I WANT YOU TO LIKE THE WARNING THE SIRENS WOULD BE. THERE'S A WARNING SO IT BE WEATHER AWARE THAT THERE IS A TORNADO IN YOUR AREA. YOU GET COLD RED AT THE IT'S IMMINENT DANGER. SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY. THAT'S HOW I'VE BEEN TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT. WHENEVER PERSONALLY, WHENEVER I HEAR A TORNADO SIREN, I PULL OUT MY PHONE AND I LOOK AT MY RADAR TO SEE WHERE EVERYTHING IS WHAT ALERTS THERE ARE. TURN ON THE TV . TURN ON THE RADIO, YOU KNOW, SEEK SHELTER. UM BUT THAT IS THE BEST APPROACH TO TAKE. YOU KNOW IT. IT'S THAT WARNING SYSTEM THAT LETS YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S THE POTENTIAL FOR DANGER. OURS IS JUST VERY SPECIFIC IN CODE RED, WHERE IT'S ALERTING RESIDENTS ABOUT A SPECIFIC WARNING FOR NEW ALBANY. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I LIKE NEXT LEVEL ABOVE THE WARNING. AND THE IMMINENT THREAT OF BEING IN A TORNADO TAKE SHELTER IMMEDIATELY . CORRECT THE SIRENS ARE LIKE A NOTICE. PAY ATTENTION. THIS COULD BE AND THEN THE ACTUAL CODE. RED IS LIKE THIS IS HAPPENING. THEY'RE BOTH SERIOUS. IT'S JUST IT'S I WAS IN THE BASEMENT. THE PROBLEM IS, THERE'S NOT COMPLETE OVERLAP WITH THE TUBE, AND IT'S AN IMPERFECT SYSTEM, SO IT'S BETTER THAN IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST WHEN A WARNING WOULD GO AFTER THE ENTIRE COUNTY. UM BUT, YEAH, IT'S STILL IMPERFECT, BUT IT'S THE BEST THAT THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME. BUT I DO FEEL LIKE IT'S A GOOD BALANCE BECAUSE WEATHER IS SO IMPRECISE, SO TO HAVE A LARGE AREA FOR THE PUT NOTICE AND THEN TO HAVE A MORE DETAILED AND CONSTANTLY UPDATED PRECISE. YOU KNOW WHERE YOU GO AND YOU STOP EVERYTHING I THINK IS MAYBE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS AS LONG AS YOU I'M SURE YOU WILL UPDATE. JUST MAKE SURE WE'RE YOU KNOW. PUSH ALL THE RIGHT SETTINGS FOR WHAT WE WANT AND I. I THINK A LOT OF THEIR REACTION WAS AFTER THE FACT WHERE HERE'S THE IRONY INVESTIGATED IT DID WHATEVER SAW WHERE IT WAS, AND THEN WE WERE LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE. I DIDN'T GET A CODE, RIGHT? EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS. PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT SPRAYING FOR MOSQUITOES, BUT THERE'S A TORNADO IN MY BACKYARD. AND I DIDN'T GET A CODE RED. UM SO, I. I THINK WE JUST NEED TO SET THAT STANDARD OF WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. GOING FORWARD AND UM I THINK WE EITHER DO IT. ALL OR WE SCALE BACK OR LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA LEAVE THIS UP TO THE YOU KNOW THE WEATHER SERVICE TO HANDLE TORNADOES. I WAS GONNA SAY IT AT JOSH TELLING US IT'S YEAH, THAT THAT UP TO US UNLESS WE CHOOSE TO DO OUR OWN MANUAL OVERRIDE. I THINK WHAT CASEY MIGHT BE SUGGESTING THAT WE DON'T DO AN OVERRIDE OR DON'T DO IT AT ALL.

WE'RE NOT IN THE WEATHER GAME IN OUR COMMUNICATION TO RESIDENTS. WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO SUBSCRIBE TO OTHER SOURCES FOR WEB UPDATES. POTENTIALLY IN THE PAST . YOU HAVE THEN AT THAT POINT, JUST BECAUSE THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUMPS ON OUR SYSTEM WE COULD HAVE THEM NOT JUMP ON EARTH SYSTEM, RIGHT? I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THAT'S AN OPTION. OH, WE JUST COMMUNICATE BETTER TO THE PUBLIC. THIS IS HOW CODE RED WORKS. I MEAN, I AGREE WITH THAT. I THINK THE WEATHER SERVICE DOES WHAT THEY DO. THEY DID DO IT PRETTY

[01:50:04]

BUT WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THAT WE DON'T CONTROL IT, AND IT'S BASED ON PARAMETERS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. YEAH YEAH, OK, SO THE LAST THING UH I UNDERSTAND THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CAR BREAK INS. THIS UH, THIS AFTERNOON OVER AT THE, UH, UP IN THE, UH, AREA OF MARLBOROUGH ACADEMY, SO I JUST ACHIEVED IF HE COULD, UH, SHARE AN UPDATE WITH COUNCIL ON THAT.

YEAH, THERE WAS THE, UH, BREAK INS WERE THIS MORNING. UM SO MARNE ACADEMY HAD FOUR CARS BROKEN INTO, UH, ONCE THE RESPONDED THEY CANVASSED THE AREA AND FOUND AN ADDITIONAL VEHICLE. THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT SURROUNDS MARLBOROUGH. UM THE VIDEO AND FLOCK CAMERAS. UM THE LICENSE PLATE READERS WERE VERY HELPFUL. SO IT WAS A STOLEN CAR. IT WAS A FRESH STOLEN CAR, WHICH MEANS IT WASN'T ENTERED INTO THE SYSTEM AS A STOLEN CAR. SO AS IT GOES BY LICENSE PLATE READERS IT DOESN'T PICK IT UP AS A STOLEN CAR. IF IT HAD BEEN REPORTED IN THE SYSTEM, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ALERTED THAT THERE WAS A STOLEN CAR IN THE AREA. UM ANYWAY, THE, UM WATCHING THE CAMERAS, MARNE ACADEMY SECURITY CAMERAS OR TRAFFIC CAMERAS AND FLOCK. UM, IT WAS THREE OR FOUR INDIVIDUALS. UM, JUVENILES ARE LATE. OR YOUNG ADULTS, UM, THEY WERE IN AND OUT PRETTY QUICKLY.

THEY CAME IN IN A STOLEN CAR JUMPED OUT BROKE INTO THE FOUR CARS HIT AN A CAR RESIDENTIAL AREA, YOU KNOW, UH, OFTEN THE ABOUT 50% OF THE CAR BREAK INTO BE VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN UNLOCKED AND LEFT OPEN. UM THESE WERE ACTUALLY WHERE THEY SMASHED THE WINDOW OUT. AND, UH, BROKE INTO THE CAR. SO WE WERE, UM UM, WE THROUGH THE FLAT CAMERAS, WE WERE ABLE TO TRACK AND ALSO THROUGH, UM CPD THAT THEY HIT THE PLAYERS AREA, UM, PRIOR TO COMING TO NEW ALBANY AND THEN AFTER LEAVING NEW OR THEY WENT TO EASTON, UM THE, UM ALL THAT WE HAVE GOOD VIDEO. WE DON'T HAVE ANY WAY TO ID THE ACTUAL OFFENDERS. THE, UM UM IS A LITTLE BIT OF AN EXPANSION OF WHAT WE SAW IN PREVIOUS YEARS. AS FAR AS MO A LOT OF THIS, A LOT OF THE SIMILAR TYPE OF CRIES WERE STOLEN CARS FRESH, UM, JUVENILES OR YOUNG ADULTS AND, UM, IN AND OUT AS FAR AS BREAKING INTO CARS. UM THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WE'VE SEEN A FEW MORE WERE HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY TYPE OF SITUATION. AND, UM UM YOU KNOW, WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK THE CASE, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK I'VE SAID ON AN EMAIL TO RESIN. UH, RECENTLY THAT I COPIED YOU GUYS IN ON, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, UM WE'RE SEEING MORE AND MORE AS AS THE COUNTY AND THE AREA DEVELOP. AND THEY JUST JOY RIDING. I MEAN, WHAT IF THEY'RE GOING LIKE THEY'RE PLAYERS STEAL CAR PLAYERS COMING TO W ME STEAL ANOTHER CAR? GO TO EASTON. WHAT IT WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THAT? BREAKING INTO SOME OF IT ARE STILL SO SOME OF IT'S YOU KNOW IT. THE MOTIVATION CAN CHANGE. IT CAN BE JOY RIDING. UM IT CAN BE DRUG RELATED AS FAR AS, UH, TRYING TO GET MONEY FOR DRUGS. UM YOU KNOW, AND ALSO JUST TO, UH, TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN FIND.

SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WE SEE IS THAT WE'VE HAD THESE SITUATIONS NOT ONLY BREAK IN THE CAR, THEY

WE HAD A 14 YEAR OLD DRIVING IT IT'S PRETTY SHOCKING. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE NO, IT'S GOING TO BE A YOUTH IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE AND MORE OF IT RIGHT. IT'S OUR POPULATION GROWS AND YEAH, WE'RE GROWS. HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO? SOME OF THE MEASURES WE TAKE IS WE USE BAIT VEHICLES DEVICES THAT ARE THAT TRIGGER US WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TAMPERED WITH, OR THE OR THE DEVICES TAMPER WITH THE FLOOD CAMERAS ARE HELPFUL. THE TRAFFIC CAMERAS HAVE BEEN HELPFUL. UM, UNMARKED PATROLS PUTTING THE DROUGHT NOW. THERE'S A LOT OF PROACTIVE MEASURES, BUT WITHOUT A WITHOUT A DISTINGUISHABLE PATTERN. IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A CHANCE THAT WE'LL CATCH THEM AS FAR AS THAT. INSTEAD OF A SURE THING. THE BEST THING PEOPLE CAN DO IS NOT LEAVE VALUABLES IN PLAIN SIGHT, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF THAT PEOPLE WOULD PERSONS WALLETS. VALUABLES AND THEN CAR DOORS LEFT OPEN. IN SOME CASE, YOU THINK THAT BECAUSE WE'RE NEW ALBANY? WE'RE NOT. WE'RE STILL SUBURBAN ONE. THAT WILL BECOMING MORE THAN YOU THINK PEOPLE. THE RESIDENTS AREN'T TAKING. I'M GUILTY. I'M ALL PARK. MY CAR PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. YOU KNOW, WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN DURING THE DAY AND GO IN MY HOUSE. NO, I'M NOT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WE'RE RELATIVELY THAT'S NOT HAPPENING HERE, BUT I THINK IT'S CHANGING. FOR SURE. I CAN TELL YOU. WE'VE PUT OUT MESSAGING. PRETTY MUCH EVERY YEAR SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE. YEAH. I MEAN, IT'S 24 YEARS, AND IT THE FREQUENCY I THINK IS INCREASING. WE'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND PARTICULARLY IN THE SUMMERTIME, UM I AGREE WITH YOU. I THINK PEOPLE FEEL A GENERAL SENSE OF WELL BEING, SO THEY CHANGING. YEAH. HERE. YEAH, THERE THERE HAS BEEN. WE HAD SOME SUCCESSES. UM SO I DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT SOUND LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW, UM, THE WE CAUGHT A STOLEN CARDS AND JUVENILES AND IN THE PRESERVED DEVELOPMENT IS ACTUALLY IN COLUMBUS WITH COLUMBUS HEALTH, AND SO THERE HAS BEEN SUCCESS IS, UM BUT, UM, IT'S THERE'S DEFINITELY BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPTICK OVER THE YEARS. THANK YOU. SOMEBODY HERE. AND JUST A REMINDER. UH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DOES PUBLISHED , UM A LOT OF INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE REGARDING, UM, CRIME IN THE AREA, SO I MEAN, SOME OF IT MAY FEEL LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF RECENTLY BIAS WHERE YOU USED TO WEAR SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED AND YOU'RE LIKE, OH MY GOSH, IT'S HAPPENING EVERYWHERE. BUT YOU GOT TO REALLY GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE DATA AND STATS TO SEE IF THERE'S TRENDS THAT ARE THAT ARE TAKING PLACE. CERTAINLY SOME OF THE STUFF SPIKES SEASONALLY. IN OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT TEAMS TRY TO GET CREATIVE IN WAYS THAT THEY CAN. THEY CAN DEAL WITH IT. BUT YEAH. IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT, YOU KNOW ANY REPORTS ONLINE? THERE'S PLENTY OF INFORMATION. THAT'S A GREAT POINT WHERE YOU'RE WHAT I OFTEN TELL PEOPLE AS WORLD LOW CRIME COMMUNITY, BUT WE'RE CERTAINLY NOT EXEMPTING CORRECT. ALRIGHT.

WELL, THANKS FOR THAT UPDATE, CHIEF, RIGHT FOR SURE. THANKS ANYTHING ELSE? BY ANY UPDATES FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY. NOTHING TO REPORT ALL RIGHT PULL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. MHM ABLE THINKS ME. BRADFORD COUNCIL COMMENT ANY ADDITIONAL COUNSEL COMMENT. DID I MISS SOMETHING? NOBODY STAYS.
