[4. ACTION ON MINUTES]

[7. BOARD/COMMISSION REPORTS]

UM AND THEN A POTENTIAL PILOT FOR A, UM, CURBSIDE COMPOST PROGRAM THAT WILL GET TO, UH LATER. UM AND ONE OF THE IDEAS FROM THAT IS POSSIBLY A NEW ALBANY BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY WARD, UH, POTENTIALLY WORK WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD TO KINDA INSPIRE SOME OF OUR OUR FRIENDS IN BUSINESS. PART TWO. I KNOW A LOT OF THEM. DO A LOT OF, UH, GOOD THINGS AS FAR AS SUSTAINABILITY GOES WITH KIND OF ADVERTISE IT AND MAYBE COMPETE WITH EACH OTHER. UM SO OUR FIRST GUEST WAS FROM THE WORTHINGTON PARTNERSHIP. GREEN TEAM. I FORGET HER NAME. UM SHE WAS FANTASTIC. SO BASICALLY THEY STARTED A GROUP VERY SIMILAR TO OUR SAB IN 2019. THEY CALL IT THE WORTHINGTON GREEN TEAM. UM BUT, UH, THEY ESSENTIALLY SHARED A LOT OF THEIR INITIATIVES WITH THE GROUP. AND IT'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT OVERLAP AND THEN IT'S A LOT OF NEW THINGS THAT, UH, ACTUALLY WE COULD IMPLEMENT AND A LOT OF LOW COST IDEAS. UH, SO IT WAS REALLY COOL TO HAVE THEM SHARE. UH WHAT? WHAT THEY'RE DOING WITH US. OUR SECOND, UH, GUEST WAS, UH, KAREN SEIDEL FROM SCO. UM SHE CAME IN AND PRESENTED EVERYTHING THIS WACO DOES, UH, IN THE COMMUNITY WITH, UM NOT JUST LANDFILL SUSTAINABILITY. UM SHE DROPPED A COUPLE NUGGETS THAT I THOUGHT WERE GOOD 76% OF WASTE. UH, IN CENTRAL OHIO IS RECYCLABLE OR COMPOSTABLE, SO THAT'S A HUGE NUMBER AND KIND OF MORE CONCERNING LESS THAN, UH, WE HAVE LESS THAN 40 YEARS LEFT. FOR OUR CURRENT LANDFILL, SO THE CLOCK IS TICKING. UM I KNOW 40

[00:05:07]

UH PILOT GRANTS. THEY GAVE US AN UPDATE. UM 2/8 GRADERS. IT'S TEAM NOEL BECAUSE THEY'RE BOTH NOEL. UM BUT BASICALLY THEIR GRANT WAS COMPOST EDUCATION AND TRY TO, UH INCREASE, UH, PARTICIPATION IN OUR COMPOSTING PROGRAM, AND THEY WENT THROUGH IN THE PRESENTATION WAS FANTASTIC. THEY ARE VERY ENTERTAINING AND ENERGETIC, UM, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN TO FARMERS MARKETS. SO FAR, THEY HAVE ATTENDED THIRD GRADERS CLASSES. THEY UH, HAD A VIDEO AND THEY READ A STORY ABOUT COMPOSTING TO THESE THIRD GRADERS. THEY'RE GONNA GO BACK TO, UH, SOME MORE CLASSES THEY HAND DELIVER BUCKETS TO FOLKS HOUSES, UH, THAT SIGNED UP AT THE FARMERS MARKET FOR THE PROGRAM. UM SO TO DATE, THEY HAVE INCREASED COMPOSTING CYO BY 55. UH, BY THE END OF THE PROGRAM THIS SUMMER, THEY'RE SHOOTING FOR OVER 100 EDITIONS, AND TO PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE, WE WERE RIGHT AROUND 300 BEFORE THEY STARTED SO 55 IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT INCREASE. UM SO, UH, I'VE GOT SOME MATERIALS THAT THEY THIS IS WHAT THEY HANDED OUT AT THE FARMER'S MARKET. UH, THEY WERE GOING TO DO A READ ALONG AT THE LIBRARY, UH, FOR FOLKS TO COME IN, AND THEY'RE GONNA HAVE, UH, SUSTAINABLE BOOKS, COMPOSABLE SNACKS. UM AND THEN ONE OF THE OFFSHOOTS. THEY BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION WHEN THEY'RE EXPLAINING TO, FOLKS, UH, WE GOT SOME WAYFINDING ISSUES FOR OUR, UH, COMPOSTING CENTER UP AT THE SERVICE CENTER BECAUSE THE ADDRESS IS TECHNICALLY ON BEHEER, BUT THE ENTRANCE IS ON WALNUT. SO UH, IT WAS REALLY GOOD FEEDBACK. UM CAUSE IT'S BASICALLY UP WHERE YEAH. COME THROUGH WAS FOR THE PUMPKINS. UH SO I THINK WE'VE JOSH IS GONNA INCORPORATE SOME OF THAT FEEDBACK AND, UH, HELP WITH THE WAY FINDING, UM BUT THEY'RE GONNA KEEP ROLLING THROUGH THE SUMMER. THEY'RE GONNA BE MORE FARMERS MARKETS SHORT IN THE LIBRARY, SO LIKE I SAID, WHEN WE CREATED THE GRANT IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING, UH, THAT WE HAD IN MIND. UH, IT'S PRETTY INSPIRING TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING. SO YOU WILL PROBABLY HEAR A FINAL COUNT FROM TEAM NOEL. OR YOU CAN SHOOT HIM AN EMAIL AT GIRL SCOUTS WHO COMPOST AT GMAIL.COM. UM SURPRISE. IT WASN'T TAKEN, UM BUT, UH, VERY COOL UPDATE FROM THEM, UM BIRTHDAY TO ARBOR DAY UPDATE. UH BASICALLY, IT'S GONNA RUN SUNDAY , THE 21ST THROUGH SATURDAY. THE 27TH OF APRIL. UM SATURDAY. THE 27TH IS THE BIG ONE. THAT'S THE E WASTE DRIVE, E WASTE AND HAZARDOUS HOUSEHOLD WASTE, UH, DRIVE UP AT THE SERVICE CENTER.

THAT'LL BE 8 TO 12. SO BRING SO YOUR CLEANING, GET EVERYTHING OUT OF THE HOUSE. UM WELL AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, WE GET A LITTLE CLOSER.

[00:15:01]

[9. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARING]

THAT HAPPENED IN OCTOBER OF 2023 , WHICH IS THE PART OF THE BUDGET THAT THE NON MONETARY PART AND THAT CHANGE IN STATE CODE MADE A CHANGE IN CITY CODE POSSIBLE UNDER THE OLD STATE CODE NEWSPAPER PUBLICATION OF A SUCCINCT SUMMARY OF CERTAIN MUNICIPAL ACTIONS, NOTICES AND REPORTS WAS REQUIRED. UNDER THE NEW VERSION OF THE STATE CODE, THE STATE AUTHORIZED PUBLICATION OF A SUCCINCT SUMMARY OF THESE THINGS IN ONE BY SELECTING ONE OR MORE OF THREE METHODS.

NEWSPAPER OF GENERAL CIRCULATION , THE STATE'S PUBLIC NOTICE WEBSITE FOR THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS, WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT. THAT'S OPTION THREE. SO THE STATE HAS LOOSENED THE REINS A BIT, WHICH MEANS THAT WE CAN, TOO CURRENTLY, UH, THERE ARE THREE NEW ALBANY CODIFIED ORDINANCE SECTIONS, WHICH ARE IN THE TITLE THAT REQUIRE NEWSPAPER PUBLICATION OF CERTAIN COUNCIL PLANNING COMMISSION AND BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS PUBLIC HEARINGS RELATED TO AMENDING THE ZONING MAP, ZONING APPEALS AND ZONING VARIANCES. THE CITY PRIMARILY USES THE DAILY REPORTER AND RARELY IT EXPENSIVELY. THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH THAT USUALLY HAPPENS IF WE HAVE TO MISS A DEADLINE FOR SOME REASON, SO WE'RE IN A HURRY. IT'S NOT CHEAP. UH, UNDER THE NEW PROPOSED ALBANY CODE, NOW LED BY THE STATE, THE CITY PLANS TO UTILIZE SELF PUBLICATION. UH, THIS DOES NOT CHANGE. OTHER NOTIFICATION PROVISIONS OF CITY CODE STAFF WILL STILL CONTINUE TO SEND OUT NEIGHBOR NOTICE LETTERS TO PEOPLE WHO LIVE WITHIN 200. FT WILL STILL PUT OUT THOSE SIGNS OF THE QR CODES WHEN THERE'S A REZONING HAPPENING THAT NOTHING ABOUT THAT CHANGES. IT'S JUST ABOUT HOW WE PUBLISH UM, THE NEW PUBLICATION, UH, CODE CHANGES WOULD BRING THE CITY IN LINE WITH THE HIGHER REVISED CODE.

THE NEW OPTIONS WILL SAVE MONEY, MAKE DEADLINES EASIER TO MEET BECAUSE WE'RE DOING IT AND MAKE THE PUBLISH INFORMATION EASIER FOR RESIDENTS AND THE PUBLIC TO ACCESS. NOT MANY PEOPLE TURN TO A NEWSPAPER, MUCH LESS ONE LIKE THE DAILY REPORTER. THEY'LL GET THAT ON THEIR DOORSTEP, SO THIS WILL MAKE IT A LOT EASIER FOR THE PUBLIC TO FIND THIS INFORMATION. UH, THESE CODE CHANGES WERE WORKSHOP WITH STAFF , BOTH DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNICATIONS AND THE WITH THE LAW DIRECTOR, AND I WANNA THANK DEPUTY CLERK MEGARA FOR HER IN DEPTH RESEARCH, WHICH GOT US HERE. UH, SHE ALSO CHECKED INTO OTHER MUNICIPALITIES. DUBLIN POWELL AND UPPER ARLINGTON ALL ALLOW FOR WEBSITE PUBLISHING ON THEIR CODE. AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE? WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING, OR 08 2024. DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT. I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE. 08 2024 THE SECOND BUILDING? YES COUNCIL MEMBER? WE? YES THAT MEMBER BRISK. YES YES. SHALL I FIVE? YES. VOTES UP ORDINANCE 008 2024 ORDINANCE 0 1020 24 NOR TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAN FOR 42 IN RESTRICTED SINGLE FAMILY LOTS ON 9.001 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES AND ACCEPT RESERVES AND I FOR PHASE FIVE, THE NOTTINGHAM TRACE SUBDIVISION GENERALLY LOCATED WEST OF STATE ROUTE +605, EAST OF SCHLEE ROAD AND SOUTH OF ON THE STREET AS REQUESTED BY PULTE HOMES. MR MAYOR. THANK YOU. SO THIS IS PHASE FIVE OF SIX. THE FINAL PHASE WILL BE HEARD ON THE NEXT PIECE OF LEGISLATION, SO THE GENERAL LOCATION IS OUTLINED IN RED HERE. SO HERE IS, UH, 605 AND SCHLUPP ROAD. SO THIS IS AN AGE RESTRICTED COMMUNITY AND AS REQUIRED BY THE ZONING THE D, THE DEVELOPER HAS SUBMITTED THE AGE RESTRICTION AND THOSE WILL BE RECORDED AS PART OF THIS FINAL PLAT. THERE ARE TWO RESERVES BEING, UH, DEDICATED AS PART OF THIS PLAT, UH, SO LOCATED HERE. AND HERE, UH, THESE, BOTH OF THESE RESERVES WILL BE OWNED BY THE CITY AND MAINTAINED BY THE HO, A IN PERPETUITY IN THIS LEGISLATION ALSO ACCEPTS THOSE RESERVES.

THESE WILL BE OWNED BY THE CITY AND MAINTAINED BY THE HO A IN PERPETUITY AND LEGISLATION ACCEPTS THOSE RESERVES. SO THIS FINAL PLAT IS IN CONFORMANCE. IT'S PROVIDING ALL OF THE OPEN SPACE AND STREET CONNECTIONS, AND THIS WAS REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL BY ALL FIVE PLANET COMMISSION MEMBERS EARLIER THIS YEAR.

MILES AN HOUR A LITTLE BIT SLOWER THAN SOME OF THE, UM YOU KNOW THE JAPANESE, UH, HIGH SPEED TRAINS, BUT, UM, DEFINITELY ON THE FASTER SIDE OF RAIL TRANSPORTATION IN IN THE UNITED STATES, UH, SO THEY WERE ABLE TO ALSO OBSERVE THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE, UH, AIR TRAVEL AND TRAIN TRAVEL, AND IT RATHER THAN ACTUALLY COMPETING WITH WITH EACH OTHER. THEY ACTUALLY COMPLEMENTED EACH OTHER FAIRLY WELL, SO THEY WERE, UH, THEY WERE SHARING SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THAT. UH ALSO, THERE WAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE, UH UH RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FRANKLIN UNIVERSITY AND MORSEY, UH, WHICH OFFERS A 20% OFF, UH, TUITION ASSISTANCE FOR ASSOCIATE AND BACHELOR DEGREES. UH, THERE'S ALSO SOME ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MASTER'S DEGREES. UH THIS IS , UH, ONE OF THOSE, UH UH.

UH ALSO, THEY UPDATED THE 2024 TO 2020 2050 COLUMBUS AREA METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN. THEY HAD 1300 PROJECTS RECOMMENDED BY UH VARIOUS MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY . DO THE FEEDBACK PROCESS. UH SIGNIFICANT, UM, NUMBER WERE PATH AND PEDESTRIAN AND, UH, BIKE RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, UH, BASED ON THE FUNDING THAT'S AVAILABLE, THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO ADVANCE 600 PROJECTS. UH, WITH AN ESTIMATE OF, UH, ROUGHLY $35 BILLION IN TOTAL PROJECT COSTS. UH THE ADOPTION OF THE PLAN UPDATE WILL OCCUR SOMETIME IN MAY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. ALL RIGHT. NICE JOB AT THE UH, MPS ANNUAL MEETING, PRESENTING THE AWARD. THAT YOU WEREN'T SICK THIS YEAR. YOU GOT A CHANCE TO PITCH IN AND CONGRATULATIONS. YOU UH, ANY UPDATE FROM THE JOINT PARKS? UH, YES. JUST ONE UPDATE. JUST LET EVERYBODY KNOW THE PICKLE BALL. COURTS ARE NOW OPEN. OFFICIALLY THEY HAVE, UH, ALL THE NETS UP IN THE WINDSCREENS. SO WE'RE GOOD TO GO A COUPLE OF THINGS WE NEED TO TWEAK, BUT FOR THE MOST FOR MOST PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED. IT'S UP AND RUNNING. UH, THIS YEAR, UH, COLIN PHASE TWO. LAST YEAR WE OPENED UP THE COURTS KIND OF LET THEM PLAY DIDN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING ELSE. JUST KIND OF MORE LEARNING THIS YEAR IN PHASE TWO. WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND OFFER SOME CLASSES AND CLINICS. UM HAVE IT UP ON THE SCREEN? UH THERE. THERE'S THE CLINICS FOR APRIL AND MAY, UM, PICK A BALL 101 AND ADVANCED BEGINNER FOUR WEEK SERIES. A BEGINNER FOUR WEEK SERIES. UM CARDIO PICKLE BALL STRATEGIES AND DRILLS FOR 3.5 SKILL LEVEL AND YOUTH CAMPS, AGES 6 TO 8 AND 9 TO 12. SO THIS YEAR WE'RE GONNA KIND OF BRANCH OFF INTO SOME OF THOSE CLINICS AND WORK, UH, NOT WORK SITE, BUT CLINICS AND, UM, CLASSES. UH, THOSE WILL ALL BE RUN OUT ON THE COURTS TYPICALLY. UH NO MORE THAN FOUR QUARTS MAXIMUM WOULD EVER BE USED, AND THEY'RE USUALLY AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN. UH IN THE MORNING. UM OR , UH, USUALLY JUST BEFORE THE BUSY TIME STARTS UP, UH, IN THE EVENING, SO WE'LL SEE HOW THE CLASSES GO. THE ONE THING THAT WE'LL HAVE TO CONSIDER, UM, I'M CALLING IT PHASE THREE NEXT YEAR AND WE'LL WANNA TALK ABOUT IT AS A COUNCIL ON HOW WE WANT TO APPROACH THIS, BUT I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS, UM, LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, RENT THE COURTS OUT. DO FUNDRAISERS. UM, I KNOW WE BRIEFLY TALKED ABOUT ONE THAT , UH, WAS APPROACHED TO US. UM, BUT I'VE JUST HAD TWO TODAY ALONE. AND SO I PUT THEM ALL OFF TILL NEXT YEAR UNTIL WE KIND OF GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WE WANNA HANDLE THAT. UM BUT WE'LL WE'LL WE'LL WE'LL DO THAT NEXT YEAR. THE FINAL THING IS JULY 20TH. WE'LL BE A TOURNAMENT OUT THERE. THAT'LL BE OUR FIRST ONE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HOLD OUT THERE. UM WE'LL BE WORKING WITH JOE AND SPECIFICALLY ON, YOU KNOW, KIND OF WHAT THAT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE FROM AN ADVERTISING PERSPECTIVE, POSSIBLY FOOD TRUCKS, ET CETERA. NOT GONNA TRY TO BLOW THIS OUT TOO MUCH AND A LOT OF SPONSORS AND EVERYTHING, BECAUSE I THINK WE NEED TO GET ONE UNDER OUR BELT FIRST, JUST TO SEE UM SOME LEARNINGS OUT OF IT, BUT KNOW THAT THAT'S GONNA BE UP AROUND JULY 20TH THE CLASSES THAT I MENTIONED AND CLINICS. YOU CAN GO TO THE PARK AND REC WEBSITE RIGHT NOW, AND YOU CAN SIGN UP. ACTUALLY SIGN UPS HAVE ALREADY STARTED AND THEY'RE STARTING TO FILL UP SO UH, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE PICK A BALL COMMUNITY IS ALREADY JUMPED ON BOARD ON THIS. UM BUT THEY'RE AVAILABLE. UH THIS IS THE APRIL MAY SCHEDULE, YOU'LL SEE ANCAL E ONE ADDITIONAL CLASS FOR JUNE JULY. UH, SO THEY'RE DOING TWO SESSIONS. WE'RE JUST GONNA SEE HOW THAT GOES AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS FOR MAYBE ANYTHING IN THE FALL. UM, AND THAT'S IT. IT'S EXCITING TO THIS COURT'S OPEN, AND I THINK THERE'S TWO OTHER BIG FACILITIES IN COLUMBUS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN PROPOSED THAT ARE GONNA BE BUILT. SO NOW I THINK WE'RE UP TO FIVE OR SIX. COLUMBUS IS ON THE MAP AND SOMEONE TOLD ME AND I APOLOGIZE. WHOEVER THIS WAS IN THE REFERENCE THAT THEY GAVE ME BUT I THINK WE'RE IN THE ONE OF THE TOP FIVE TARGETED CITIES RIGHT NOW FOR PICKLE BALL ACTIVITY CALLED THE SENSE SO A LOT GOING ON.

UH, THERE WILL BE OFFERING A KEY FOB TO RESIDENTS AS AN ID. THIS WILL ENABLE THEM TO GET A LOWER RESIDENT RATE. WITHOUT A KEEP UP, SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO PAY THE NON-RESIDENT RATE FOR THE DAY. AND IF A RESIDENT FORGETS THEIR KEY FOB, THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY THE NON-RESIDENT RATE FOR THAT DAY. SO ONCE YOU GET A KEY F, DO NOT LOSE IT. UH, THERE WILL BE NO REDUCED PRICING AFTER FOUR LIKE THEY DID LAST YEAR, AND THE DAILY RATES ARE AS FOLLOWS ADULTS $11 NON-RESIDENT 13 CHILD, NINE NON-RESIDENT 11 AND SENIOR $7 FOR RESIDENCE AND $9 FOR NINE NON-RESIDENTS. FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. HE SAID THAT STEINER IS LIGHTING THE FIRE DEPARTMENT USE THE BUILDINGS LONG 605 FOR A FIRE TRAINING BURN. HE IS REMOVING ALL OF THE ASBESTOS AND PAIN FOR THE BURN PERMITS.
