THANK YOU, MAYOR. THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY OFTEN RECEIVES INQUIRIES FROM RESIDENTS AS TO WHETHER OR NOT IT HAS A MEMORIAL PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS INDIVIDUALS TO PUBLICLY PAY TRIBUTE TO A LOVED ONE WHO HAS PASSED AWAY. MEMORIAL PROGRAMS ARE GROWING IN POPULARITY AND ARE ACTIVE IN MANY CITIES, COUNTIES AND STATES . THE LOVED 1 MAY BE REMEMBERED BY FAMILY MEMBERS OR AN ORGANIZATION. IN RESPONSE TO THE NUMBER OF INQUIRIES THE CITY HAS RECEIVED. OVER THE YEARS, THE STAFF HAS RESEARCHED VARIOUS MEMORIAL PROGRAMS, UH, THAT HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED BY NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES. THE RESEARCH STARTED WITH BENCH PROGRAMS. UM HOWEVER, THE STAFF FOUND THAT NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES PROVIDE AN OPTION OF EITHER A MEMORIAL BENCH PROGRAM OR A MEMORIAL TREE PROGRAM. SOME CITIES PROVIDE FOR BOTH OPTIONS. THESE PROGRAMS ARE ALSO DESIGNED TO HELP FUND THE ADDITION OF MUCH NEEDED BENCHES AND TREES THROUGHOUT PUBLIC SPACES. THE NEW ALBANY MEMORIAL PROGRAM ESTABLISHES THE DESCRIPTION AND APPROACH FOR THE INITIATIVE IN A MANNER THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S MISSION VISION AND VALUES. THE RESOLUTION MAY BE ADOPTED THIS EVENING. HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO OUR CITY MANAGER. TO EXPLAIN A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE RESOLUTION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. UH, COUNCIL MEMBER, SEAN AND I MET THIS MORNING AND WE DISCUSSED THIS LEGISLATION AND THE POSSIBILITY OF BROADENING IT . UH, IT IS VERY SPECIFIC IN TERMS OF THE FEE STRUCTURE AND THE TYPES OF MEMORIALS THERE MAY

[00:55:04]

THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN TODAY, WE WOULD NEED TO COME BACK WITH ANY AMENDMENTS TO THE POLICY AND HAVE COUNSEL CONSIDER A NEW RESOLUTION. BY ADDING THIS LANGUAGE. I THINK IT GIVES A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY COUNCIL WILL STILL BE NOTIFIED OF PROPOSED CHANGE, WHETHER IT'S A DOLLAR AMOUNT OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF MODIFICATION. UH BUT IT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION. UH, I'M CERTAINLY FINE WITH THE AMENDMENT. UM JUST KINDA REMINDS ME OF A CONVERSATION WE HAD, UH, A YEAR OR SO AGO ABOUT THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY MANAGER.

AND, UM I THINK WE ALL FEEL COMFORTABLE. CONSENTING TO YOU HAVING CERTAIN AUTHORITY WITH SAME AS HAVING CERTAIN AUTHORITY TO MODIFY THESE THINGS, BUT IF WE USE THE WORD NOTIFICATION AND CONSENT CONSENT SOUNDS LIKE A BOAT. SO I'M NOT SURE. I MEAN, IF WE MEAN TO SAY CONSENT, I THINK WE GOT THE WRONG HAVE A LONGER CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT THAT WORD MEANS. SO I. I THINK THE OR THE AMENDMENT SHOULD SAY SOMETHING. YOU KNOW THE EXHIBIT MAYBE MODIFIED AS NECESSARY BY THE CITY MANAGER WITH NOTIFICATION TO COUNSEL. AGAIN. YOU'RE NOT SEEKING CONSENT OR A VOTE. YOU'RE JUST NOTIFYING THAT YOU'VE MADE THE CHANGE. ANYONE HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH THAT? NO NONE. UM OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU DO SOMETHING COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. THAT'S ALL I GOTTA SAY. ALL RIGHT, THEN I WOULD MOVE THAT WE AMEND, UH, RESOLUTION R 1420 24 UNDER SECTION ONE TO INCLUDE LANGUAGE THAT SAYS THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY DOES HEREBY ADOPT THE MEMORIAL PROGRAMS ATTACHED HERE TO AS EXHIBIT A THE EXHIBIT MAY BE MODIFIED AS NECESSARY BY THE CITY MANAGER WITH NOTIFICATION TO CITY COUNCIL. SECOND. TO MAYOR SPALDING COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCIL MEMBERS, COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCIL MEMBER SHALL YES, YES.

SIX YES, VOTES TO MEN'S RESOLUTION. ON OUR 1420 24 ACCORDINGLY. AND EITHER WE ADOPTING THE AMENDED RESOLUTION, ALL RIGHT, I WOULD MOVE THE I NEED TO HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING FIRST, RIGHT? SORRY UM, LET ME OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING AMENDED RESOLUTION. R 1420 24 IS ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING THE AMENDED RESOLUTION? HEARING A PUBLIC COMMENT.

SMART.

VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. UM SO OUR CITY STAFF. OUR INTERNAL TEAM, UH, PERFORMS A LOT OF ROADSIDE KNOWING THROUGHOUT THE CITY. UH, ONE OF THE KEY PIECES OF EQUIPMENT THAT WE UTILIZE TO DO THAT WORK IS A IS A BOOM MOWER. SO THESE ARE THE TYPES OF MOWERS THAT, YOU KNOW, HAVE A HAVE A KIND OF A LONGER ARM AND EXTENDED REACH TO KIND OF REACH OUT AND OVER AND DOWN INTO AREAS WHERE THERE MIGHT BE STEEP EMBANKMENT AND, UH, OTHER KIND OF GRADING CONDITIONS. ALSO HELPFUL, UM, JUST WITH KIND OF KEEPING BACK VEGETATION. AND, UM, YOU KNOW, KEEPING AREAS CLEAR. UH, WE HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD THE, UH 2002 MASSEY FERGUSON TRACTOR, AND WE HAD THE BOOM THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THAT IN 2021. THAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WAS ESSENTIALLY RETIRED WHEN WE PURCHASED THE AT MAX. UH, UH, IT'S THE, UM THE BIG YELLOW BOOMER THAT WE HAVE NOW TODAY,

[01:00:02]

COUNCIL MEMBER DEREK COUNCIL MEMBER SHALL COUNCIL MEMBER W. YES YES. COUNCIL MEMBERS? YES, I HAVE SIX. YES VOTES TO THAT RESOLUTION. R 1520 25. RESOLUTION R 1620 24 A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ODO ROAD SALT CONTRACTS AWARD IN 2024. SO AT THAT TIME OF YEAR, UH, WINTER IS OVER. WE'RE ANTICIPATING THE NEXT WINTER SEASON. UH, SO NOW IS THE TIME WHERE WE OPT IN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE O DOT UH UH, SALT PURCHASE PROGRAM. UM IN DOING SO, WE HAVE TO PASS A RESOLUTION THAT BASICALLY AGREES TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS AND PROVIDE THAT DOCUMENTATION TO O DO, UH, DURING OUR SEASON LAST YEAR, WE DID RESPOND TO 11 SEPARATE WEATHER EVENTS AND IN TOTAL, WE USED IT JUST OVER 1800 TONS OF SALT. UM AS A RESULT, WE WERE MORE OR LESS COMPLETELY FULL IN OUR SALT BARN. UH AT THE BEGINNING OF LAST YEAR, SO WE DO ANTICIPATE BUYING ABOUT 1800 TONS AGAIN, IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FULL AND READY FOR THE NEXT SEASON. SO, UM WE FOUND THIS PROGRAM TO BE, UH, REALLY THE MOST COMPETITIVE PROGRAM. THAT'S THAT'S AVAILABLE . UH, I THINK THE PRICING HAS BEEN, UM FAVORABLE FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS. I KNOW IN THE PAST, WE HAD SOME A LOT OF FLUCTUATION IN SALT PRICES. IT SEEMS THAT THOSE DAYS HAVE HAVE TAPERED. AND NOW WE'RE GETTING MUCH MORE PREDICTABLE PRICING FOR BUDGETING, SO HAPPY TO ANSWER A QUESTION YOU HAVE OUT OF CURIOSITY, MY 1800 TONS. HOW MUCH? IS THAT HALF A BARN OR HOW ? HOW MUCH DO WE HAVE LEFT? YEAH

[01:05:06]

WE GENERALLY FILL IT TO ABOUT 4800 TONS BECAUSE IT GIVES SOME SPACE JUST FOR THE MOVEMENT OF SALT WITHIN THE BARN ITSELF. SO WE ALWAYS TARGET FOR 4800 TONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

I'M I'M IN. THIS VERY CURIOSITY, LIKE WITH SALT LIKE IF YOU'RE JUST PUTTING. IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE ROTATING THIS ALL IF IT WERE PUTTING 1800 TONS BACK ON TOP OF THE EXISTING 3000 OR SO BECAUSE THAT DEGRADE OVER TIME OR IS IT? IT DOESN'T DEGRADE THE SALT, BUT WHAT CAN HAPPEN IS I MEAN, IT SORT OF NATURALLY ROTATES. SO WE SCOOP FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE PILE, AND THEN WE BACKFILL TO THE TOP OF THE FILE, SO IT'S SORT OF NATURALLY ROTATES ITSELF JUST BY WAY OF HOW WE ACCESS THE SALT AND FILL OUR TRUCKS. UM WHAT CAN HAPPEN OVER TIME? AND ESPECIALLY IN OUR IN THE SALT BAR THAT WE HAVE THE OPENING IS FACING TO THE SOUTH, SO IT DOES TEND TO RECEIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE WEATHER THAT GENERALLY THE DIRECTION OF THE WEATHER. IN CENTRAL OHIO, BUT ESPECIALLY OUT IN KANSAS OUT THERE IN, UH, THE PUBLIC SERVICE FACILITY. SO UH, SOMETIMES WITH WITH RAIN, AND WHEN YOU HAVE VERY HOT DAYS IN THE SUMMER, IN PARTICULAR HIGH HUMIDITY TOWARD THE BOTTOM OF THE PILE, YOU END UP WITH SOME CLUMPING. SO UH, IF WE IF WE FIND THAT ALL WE DO, IS WE IT? IT'S A REAL SCIENTIFIC PROCESS. WE TAKE THE LOADER. WE PICK UP THE BIG BLOCKS AND WE SLAM IT ON THE GROUND, SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD THEN LOAD INTO THE TRUCK. BUT THERE REALLY IS NO DEGRADATION IN THE PRODUCT ITSELF, WHICH JUST BECOMES, UH IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE WORK FOR US TO PUT IT IN A USABLE STATE. SO. ALL RIGHT. I SEE A JOSH VIDEO RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD HERE. SING THUMP ON HIS HEAD. ALL RIGHT. UH ANY QUESTIONS ON THE, UH, ON THE RESOLUTION, GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUPPETEERING. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKES TO SPEAK REGARDING RESOLUTION. R 1620 24. HERE. YOU KNOW, PUBLIC COMMENT. WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE RESOLUTION? I WENT FOR ADOPTION R 1620 24 2ND SO MUCH EXCITEMENT RIGHT? IT WAS UP IN THE AIR. MIKE I'M SORRY. THEY'RE CLUMPING THAT A STUNT KNOW WHAT TO DO. YES YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES MAYOR SPALDING. YES COUNCIL MEMBER WILL TROUT COUNCIL MEMBERS? I HAVE SIX YES. VOTES TO DOCTOR RESOLUTION. R 1620 24. RESOLUTION R 1720 24, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZED CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO ANY AND ALL CONTRACTS WITH THE PURCHASE AND UP FITTING OF THREE ONE HALF TON WORK TRUCK. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU AGAIN. UM SO AS AS YOU WERE, OH, NO. NO TIME. MAYBE YOU CAN. YEAH, I GOT THE SALT. IT WAS US THAT WAY. UH SO A AS WE KNOW, AS AS NEW ALBANY CONTINUES TO GROW, UH, SO TOO DOES, UM, YOU KNOW, DO EXPECTATIONS AND JUST SERVICE DELIVERY, UH, BOTH IN IN OVERALL MAGNITUDE. AND THEN, UH, JUST IN CONSISTENCY, AND, UM WE'RE ALSO AT A PLACE TO WHERE WE'RE REALLY RANKING UP, AND WE'RE ELEVATING, UH, MAINTENANCE ACTIVITY IN WAYS THAT WE HAVEN'T YET DONE. I THINK AS WE MATURE AS A CITY, UH, WE'RE WE'RE DEFINITELY SEEING A NEED, UH, TO GET AHEAD OF SOME THINGS AND IN ANTICIPATION THAT THAT YOU KNOW, OUR INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRES MORE ACTIVE MAINTENANCE THAN IT THAN IT HAD IN THE PAST. SO WITH THAT, UM YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN NEED OF, UH, THREE TRUCKS, UH, FOR OUR FLEET. TWO OF THESE TRUCKS, UH, WILL BE REPLACEMENT TRUCKS. THE FIRST TRUCK TO BE REPLACED IS A 2014 F 150. IT HAS PRIMARILY SERVED AS THE UTILITY LOCATING TRUCK FOR MOST OF ITS LIFE. UM THESE ARE TRUCKS THAT SIT, YOU KNOW, ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD MOST DAYS TEND TO IDLE, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY CLOSE TO, YOU KNOW, SEVEN OR EIGHT HOURS A DAY. UM SO THE MILEAGE IS ONE THING. THIS ONE IS KIND OF UNIQUE. IT HAS A SIGNIFICANT MILEAGE ON IT. AND THEN ALSO HAS, UH UM I DON'T. I THINK IT HAD, LIKE 3500 HOURS ON IT AS WELL, UH, WHICH IS A VERY HIGH HIGH USAGE RATE FOR THAT VEHICLE. UH, SO THAT IS ONE TRUCK THAT WE DO HAVE CALLED FOR, UH, REPLACEMENT. UM THAT TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN 2014 FOR $26,000, AND WE DO HAVE AN ESTIMATED RESALE TODAY OF ABOUT $7500 ON THAT TRUCK, SO UM, THE SECOND VEHICLE. UM TO BE REPLACED IS A 2009 CHEVY SUBURBAN. THAT HAS ALSO BEEN UTILIZED BY OUR UTILITY LINE LOCATORS. UM IT IT KIND OF,

[01:10:05]

IT'S CURRENTLY USED AS AD VEHICLE. SO THOSE WERE THE, UH, THOSE ARE THE TWO VEHICLES THAT ARE SCHEDULED FOR REPLACEMENT. UH AND WE DID, UH, WE ARE REQUESTING AN ADDITIONAL VEHICLE TO BE PURCHASED. UM YOU KNOW, OUR OFFICE FUNCTION SEEMS IS GROWING AS WELL. UH, JUSTIN WILKINSON NOW BEING ON STAFF, UH AND ANGIE, UH, HOBART. UH, BOTH HAVE A PROMINENT ROLE THAT IS OUTSIDE OF OUR OFFICE AND REQUIRES THEM TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS SOME AREAS THAT AREN'T CONVENIENTLY AVAILABLE JUST BY THE ROAD ITSELF. SO THERE'S A THERE'S AN ANOTHER NEED REALLY TO HAVE A TRUCK TO HAVE VERTICAL CLEARANCE TO BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, GO UP A CURB OR KIND OF GO BACK INTO A WAR ZONE OR A CONSTRUCTION AREA. UH, SO THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE REQUESTING AS WELL WITH THAT. UM ALL OF THIS WAS CONSIDERED, UH IN THE 2024 CAPITAL EQUIPMENT BUDGET. UM, WE DO INTEND TO PURCHASE UH, ALL OF THIS THROUGH THE CITY OF COLUMBUS. UH, PURCHASE CONTRACT. AND UM, THE TOTAL COST OF THE VEHICLES AND ALL OF THE UP FITTINGS. SO WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, UH, LOGO BRANDING SAFETY EQUIPMENT. UH LIGHTS, STROBES. ALL ALL OF THAT RADIOS. UM COLLECTIVELY IS JUST OVER 100 AND $93,000. AND AS I MENTIONED FUNDING FOR THAT IS PART OF THE 2024 CAPITAL EQUIPMENT BUDGET. QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE RESOLUTION.

OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ANYONE FOR THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING RESOLUTION OR 1720 24.

YOU KNOW, PUBLIC COMMENT WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE RESOLUTION? I MOVE FOR ADOPTION OF OUR 16 OR 1720 24. SECOND. THAT'S MEMBER WELCH. YES COUNCIL MEMBER THERE? YES, YES. YES, YES . COUNCIL MEMBER SHALL YES, I HAVE SIX. YES VOTES. SHOW UP RESOLUTION ARE 1720 24. RESOLUTION R 1820 24 A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE CITY MANHOOD, ADVERTISE THE WORD BIDS AND EXECUTE ALL CONTRACTS RELATED TO THE 2024 SAVE NEW ALBANY STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. JUST VERY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT'S A REAL PLEASURE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROPOSE THIS RESOLUTION TO MEMBERS OF COUNCIL TODAY. UM MOVING ON TO HOW WE EVALUATE OUR STREETS. ULTIMATELY WE ARE, YOU KNOW, TAKING A LOOK AT, UH UH, MORE COMPREHENSIVE STREET PROGRAM THIS YEAR THAN WE HAVE IN YEARS PAST. SO WHAT I HAVE BEFORE YOU IS WHAT WE CALL OUR PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT DASHBOARD, AND ESSENTIALLY, WE'VE HIRED A THIRD PARTY CONSULTANT TO COME AND EVALUATE OUR ROADWAYS AND THEY TRY TO PROVIDE AN OBJECTIVE SCORE BETWEEN ZERO AND 100. 0 BEING THE WORST CONDITION 100 BEING THE BEST, UM, SO WE RECENTLY HIRED THEM TO COME AND ASSESS ALL OF OUR CITY STREETS, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE DONE PREVIOUSLY AS WELL. HOWEVER IT'S OUR INTENTION TO INCREASE THE FREQUENCY OF THESE EVALUATIONS. UM, THAT WAY. WE'RE GETTING A MORE DATA DRIVEN APPROACH TO HOW WE MANAGE AND MAINTAIN OUR ROADWAYS. UM SO ULTIMATELY THIS MAP YOU SEE HERE WAS PART OF THE CRITERIA THAT WE USED IN ASSESSING AND SELECTING THE STREETS THAT ARE GOING TO BE , UM REMEDIATED AND REPAIRED AS

[01:15:01]

[01:20:05]

THIS CAN GET KIND OF MESSY SOMETIMES, SO WE'RE GOING TO LIMIT THE USE OF THIS TO, UM NON-RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND AREAS WHERE WE DON'T HAVE AS ANY CONCERNS ABOUT TRACKING, AND, UH ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, JUST GETTING STUFF EVERYWHERE. UM SO YOU'LL NOTICE TOO. WE'VE GOT LIKE IN OUR BUSINESS PARK THERE. I BELIEVE THAT IS, UH INNOVATION AND CAMPUS WAY EAST SO THAT'LL GET A COMBINATION OF CRACKS FILL AND RECLAM. SO THE RECLAM IS A REALLY GOOD PRODUCT, AND IT'S VERY SUSTAINABLE AS COMPARED TO ASPHALT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T REQUIRE THE SAME POWER OR POWER CONSUMPTION, I GUESS, UM IT WHAT IT ULTIMATELY DOES IS IT TAKES OXIDIZED, BRITTLE PAVEMENT, AND IT MAKES IT MORE FLEXIBLE. SO THEREFORE IT HAS, UM YOU KNOW BETTER PERFORMANCE OVER TIME, BECAUSE WHEN ASPHALT HITS BRITTLE, IT STARTS TO CRACK AND, UM, CAUSE SOME ISSUES, SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD DO EARLY ON IN THE STREETS, LIFE JUST TO TRY AND REDUCE OX. OF THE ASPHALT BINDER IN THE PAVEMENT. HOWEVER THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY TOOLS IN OUR REPERTOIRE. SO UM, BETWEEN THE RECLAM AND THE MICROS SURFACING, WE'RE BEING A LITTLE MORE SELECTIVE IN ITS USE. UM JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T MAKE TOO MANY, UH RESIDENTS ANGRY WITH THE RESULTS OF IT, SO, UM, ULTIMATELY AS I MENTIONED BEFORE . IT'S UH, PRIMARILY GONNA BE MILL AND OVERLAY CRACK BILL, AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LITTLE BIT OF RECLAM AND, UH, NO MICRO THIS YEAR. ANSWER ANYONE'S QUESTIONS. OK? THE, UH PM G. DASHBOARD, PLEASE. YES. AND SO ON. SO JUST, UH JUST TO TOUCH ■M AGAIN, WE, AS JUSTIN MENTIONED WE CONTRACTED WITH THE PAYMENT MANAGEMENT GROUP. AS A. SO THEY ARE A THEY'RE A PAYMENT MANAGEMENT EXPERT. I'M JUST REALLY KIND OF SEEKING THEIR THEIR FEEDBACK. UM, WE'VE BEEN REALLY EXCITED, UH, TO REALLY DEVELOP AND EXPAND. UH JUST A REALLY WELL INFORMED, DATA DRIVEN, UH, STREET PROGRAM AND, UH, THIS THIS PROGRAM IS GOING TO GIVE US A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF DATA THAT'S GOING TO VOTE INFORM, YOU KNOW CURRENT YEAR PROGRAM BUT ALSO PLAN FOR AND PROJECT OUT AT LEAST THE NEXT TWO YEARS. SO WHEN WE COME BEFORE YOU, UH, AT AT FOR BUDGET , UH, AT THE END OF THIS YEAR, I INTEND TO BE BRINGING WITH YOU WITH WITH ME. YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT WE WOULD PROPOSE TO INCLUDE NOT JUST IN 2025, BUT ALSO 2627 AS WELL. I THINK THAT ALLOWS US TO PROJECT COSTS AND KIND OF PLAN FOR THOSE THINGS IN ADVANCE. AT BEST WE CAN JUSTIN ALSO MENTIONED, UM JUST HAVING OUR PAVEMENT RATED ON A MORE FREQUENT BASIS FOR THE TIME BEING. I THINK THAT'S A REALLY VALUABLE TOOL FOR US, BECAUSE WHAT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS, YOU KNOW, EVERY AREA IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. EVERY AREA HAS DIFFERENT WEATHER CONDITIONS AND DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, WAYS. THEY TREAT SNOW AND ICE AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE AND THAT AFFECTS ULTIMATELY THE LONGEVITY OF THE PAYMENT ITSELF. SO UM, BY GETTING INCREMENTAL DATA, WE'RE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT WILL BE A RATE THAT IS SPECIFIC TO THE CITY OF NEW ALBANS. IT'S NOT SPECIFIC TO AN INDUSTRY STANDARD. IT'S SPECIFIC TO THE TYPE OF TRAFFIC THAT APPEARS ON THIS ROADWAY ARE OUR SUMMERS ARE WINTERS AND HOW WE MANAGE ALL OF THAT. DRAINAGE CONDITIONS THAT MIGHT EXIST IN CERTAIN AREAS SO WE CAN REALLY HONE IN IN A MUCH HIGHER LEVEL OF DETAIL, UH, TO BE MUCH MORE INFORMED TO PROJECT UH WHAT OUR FUTURE MAINTENANCE NEEDS. UM, SO THIS IS A TOOL THAT IS JUST GOING TO BE IN MY

[01:25:07]

UM, I HAVE SOME OTHER VALUES THAT JOE AND I ARE KIND OF DEBATING WITH, BUT, UH OUR OUR GOAL HERE IS TO SEE THIS NUMBER CONTINUE TO GO UP OVER TIME. UM, BUT THIS AS A TOOL, UM I GUESS THE LAST THING IS WHEN OUR STREETS ARE EVALUATED. THEY BASICALLY DERIVE ALL OF THE ROADWAYS AND THEY RECORD ALL THE ROADWAY CONDITION, UM, WITH THEIR VEHICLE. AND THEN ALL THAT INFORMATION IS PROCESSED THROUGH A I AND THERE ARE I APPEALING CONDITION INDEX BASED ON ALL OF THE CRITERIA THAT THEY LOAD WITHIN THAT ALGORITHM, THAT DEFENSE SPITS OUT, UH, THAT PATIENT CONDITION INDEX. WITH THAT SAID WHAT WE KNOW WE HAVE IS CONSISTENCY. SO YOU HAVE HUMAN ERROR, YOU KNOW? UM YOU KNOW, I EVALUATE ONE STREET JUST AND EVALUATES ANOTHER STREET. WE MIGHT HAVE A DIFFERENT, UH, DIFFERENT THOUGHT IN MIND. SO WITH THAT BEING A I IT REALLY I ENSURES THAT EVERYTHING IS BEING COMPARED ON THE SAME PLATFORM. UM BUT ALSO TO YOU KNOW, IT GIVES US AN ABILITY WHEN YOU ACTUALLY ARE IN THE SOFTWARE TO GO DOWN AND CLICK ON A ROADWAY SECTION AND DRIVE THE STREETS AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE PAVEMENT CONDITION ACTUALLY IS.

SO JUST A LOT OF REALLY GOOD, UH, REALLY GOOD INFORMATION THAT'S GONNA HELP US TO BE, UM, REALLY PRODUCTIVE AND THEN PLAN AHEAD JUST SO WE CAN KEEP OUR OUR ROADWAYS TO A STANDARD THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT ANY NEW ALBANY SO DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I THE ONE CAUSE. DON'T GO TOO FAR.

DON'T GO TOO FAR. MIKE I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU. OR YOU CAN JUST TAKE THE MICROPHONE WITH YOU. SO ULTIMATELY, UM, WE'RE LOOKING FOR 4.1 MILLION FOR THIS ONE. SO WE'RE GONNA GATHER, UM THE BULK OF IT FROM OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FUND, BUT, UH, MIKE AND I WERE ALSO FORTUNATE WHEN WE DID THE SOUTH HARLEM AND STATE ROUTE 605 PROJECTS. UM WE GOT SOME VERY FAVORABLE BIDS, AND WE HAD ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS MORE BUDGETED THAN WE ACTUALLY AWARDED. SO WE'RE GONNA TAKE ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS THAT WE HAD PLANNED FOR THOSE PROJECTS AND ROLL IT INTO THE STREET PROGRAM. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO SOME, UH, BUSINESS PARK MAINTENANCE FUNDS. UM THAT JOE HAD BROUGHT TO MIKE'S ATTENTION THAT WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO DRAW SOME MONEY FROM AS WELL, UM, SO OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE ROBUST THAN WHAT WE'VE REQUESTED IN THE PAST. AND ULTIMATELY, IT JUST HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT YOU KNOW WE HAD VERY NEW INFRASTRUCTURE TODAY, AND IT'S BEGINNING TO AGE AND ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, IN ORDER TO PROPERLY TAKE CARE OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. WE NEED TO INVEST MONEY IN MAINTENANCE AND THAT WILL IMPROVE THE LONGEVITY.

SO ULTIMATELY WE THINK THAT THE TOTAL COST OF THIS IS A VERY WELL FOUNDED. I JUST FIRST. I THINK THIS IS AMAZING TOOL. I MEAN, I'M GLAD THAT WE HAVE IT. I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT FOR YEARS. SO I DO THINK THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME. I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION ABOUT ONE ROAD AND I. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER. YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE OVER THE LAST TWO OR THREE YEARS, UH, OLD 161 DUBLIN, GRANVILLE ROAD BETWEEN FOLDER AND HARLEM. IT LOOKS GOOD . AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT LOOKS REALLY BAD, AND IT'S HAPPENED LIKE THE LAST TWO OR THREE YEARS, AND I DON NO. THE WHY BEHIND THAT, BUT IT'S ALWAYS LIKE YOU'RE DODGING PLATFORM BULLS WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING THROUGH THERE, YOU KNOW IF I PICK A PLACE? YEAH RIGHT BY PICKET PLACE, ESPECIALLY IN NEED. AND YOU. YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. SO, UM THAT WAS A, UH, ROADWAY THAT WAS ACTUALLY MICRO OVERLAY TWICE. UM AND I THINK WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED FROM THAT, UH AND WE IT IT'S LOUD AND CLEAR FOR US THAT I THINK THAT THERE'S A PAYMENT CONDITION THAT WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH, UH, WITH REGARD TO PUTTING A MICRO OVERLAY ON IT, SO I THINKN OF THAT ROADWAY PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE MICRO OVERLAY AND REALLY WASN'T IN IN IT REALLY GOOD ENOUGH CONDITION FOR THAT TO BE AN APPROPRIATE TREATMENT. BUT THIS YEAR WE ARE, UH WE ARE GOING TO MILL AND OVERLAY THAT ROADWAY SO IT WILL BE IT WILL BE FULLY REPAIRED. UM, WITH A FULL

[01:30:03]

YEAH, AND I THINK IT JUST REALLY COMES DOWN TO HOW WELL IT IT BE ABLE TO ADHERE TO THE SURFACE UNDERNEATH AND I THINK THAT WHEN THE SURFACE UNDERNEATH THIS IS POTENTIALLY, UM A LITTLE MORE COMPROMISED THAN WOULD BE IDEAL. I THINK THAT'S DOING IT WITH WITH THE SECTIONS KIND OF PEELING UP, OK, SO IS THAT SECTION ON THE PLAN FOR THIS. MHM UH, RIGHT HERE. SO UH, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERY STREET IN NEW ORLEANS JUST LIKE I DO. BUT THIS IS I JUST CAN'T READ THAT THE EASTERN SIDE OF THIS IS THAT PHOTO AND MARKET TREE SO WE WILL BE MILLING AND OVERLYING BASICALLY FROM, UH, FOLDER. ALL THE WAY TO THE WEST TO OUR CORPORATE BOUNDARY, WHICH GOES RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TAYLOR FARM. AND CAN WE PRIORITIZE THAT MIKE MAKE OUT ONE OF THE FIRST STREETS THAT WE GET TO WE? WE CAN DO THAT. I THINK THE, UM IT'S A IT'S A CHALLENGING ROADWAY BECAUSE WE DO HAVE TO BE MINDFUL OF EVENTS AND OTHER IMPACTS THAT ARE GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME. OBVIOUSLY IT'S EASY THE HIGH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC, BUT, UH, WE'LL DEFINITELY MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF PROJECTS TOO WITH, YOU KNOW 62, BOTH SOUTH OF THE VILLAGE CENTER AND THEN NORTH OF THE BUILDING SAN AS WELL, THAT THAT DEFINITELY NEED, UH, NEED ATTENTION AS WELL. BUT, UM YEAH, I THINK WE TRY TO WEIGH, UH, SCHEDULE WITH WITH ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE CITY. UH SO WE DEFINITELY GONNA DO OUR BEST TO GET THAT DONE. SOONER THAN LATER . I REALIZED THAT IT'S NOT IN. IT'S NOT IN THE RIGHT NOW. IT'S NOT RIDE A BIKE. WELL, NO, NO, IT IT, YOU KNOW, TO YOUR POINT. YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THE THAT'S THE KIND OF ONE OF THE GATEWAYS TO THE COMMUNITY AND FIRST THING PEOPLE WHEN THEY ROLL PAST TAYLOR TH THAT'S A GREAT PART. THAT'S A GREAT PART. YEAH, I MEAN, NOT THAT IT'S MY KID. IT'S JUST BAD COMPARED TO THEY FILLED IN SOME OF THE HIDDEN TO THE REST OF THE NEW ALBANY. THERE'S NO HELP. EVERYONE GOT 35 INSTEAD OF 75. YEAH, IS THAT IS THAT A TRAFFIC? UH, AND I THINK THAT WE'RE TRYING OUT. UM AND I APPRECIATE THE KIND OF THE NEW STRATEGY ON THE RECORD. I THINK SLOAN'S BIKE STILL HAS SOME REC ON IT FROM A BACK FOUR YEARS AGO . YEAH I THINK I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT MIGHT BE FROM DO GEL ROAD. YEAH YEAH, SO SOMETHING ABOUT A BRAND NEW WHITE BIKE AND , YEAH, JUST RECOMMEND IT. IT IS CHALLENGING BECAUSE WE DO. WE DO HAVE SOME LIMITATIONS AND TOOLS IN THE TOOLBOX JUST BECAUSE OF OUR TOLERANCE FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF MAINTENANCE. UM, SO I WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF THIS. ALL OF ONE THING BECAUSE THEY DO BRING A LOT OF VALUE. THE PAD. UM LONGEVITY TO OUR PAVEMENT, BUT THERE'S JUST A RIGHT AND A WRONG PLACE TO USE IT IN NEW ALBANY, SO REC WITH MICRO OR ALL OF THOSE AND THEN THE RECONDITIONING. TREATMENT THAT WE USE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. AND WE STOPPED THAT PROGRAM AS WELL. SO THAT IS THEY CALL THAT THE R? IT'S A PAYMENT REJUVENATOR AND, UM, SO WE ARE NOT USING THAT IN IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS. UM IT IT IS A IT IS A GREAT PRODUCT AS JUSTIN MENTIONED, IT REALLY HELPS. UM YOU KNOW, OVER TIME AS PAVEMENT AGES, IT TENDS TO GRAY OUT, AND IT ALSO TENDS TO DRY OUT FROM OUT PETROLEUM BASE ITSELF. AND WHAT THE RECORD MIC DOES IS, IT HELPS TO ENCAPSULATE IT AND THEN SEAL THAT IN TO MAINTAIN ITS FLEXIBILITY FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. SO INSTEAD OF HAVING YOU KNOW, POTHOLES, YOU KNOW, AFTER A CERTAIN NUMBER OF YEARS, YOU'RE GONNA ADD TIME TO THAT. THE OTHER THING TOO IS IT DOES DARKEN THE PAVEMENT AND, UM, YOU KNOW, APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE DRIVING US NO FILE. AND YOU RECOGNIZE THAT THE ROADS ARE ARE CLEAR BECAUSE OF THE SUN MUCH SOONER THAN SOME OF THE OTHER ROADWAYS THAT AND KIND OF GRAYED OUT. SO YOU KNOW, OLIVER ARE HAVE HYPER LOCAL PAVEMENTS, UM LAMBTON PARK. IS THAT ON THE ON THE MAP AT ALL? AND THERE'S JUST REALLY JUST I THINK ONE SECTION NORTH OF HEAD OF POND. UM AND AGAIN, I THINK IT WAS THE REPOSITIONING OF A COUPLE OF THE T BOXES HAS CAUSED A CONSISTENT DRAINAGE ISSUE THERE THAT'S NOW ERODING HERE. THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. YEAH, THAT AND THAT'S CRACK YOU ON THIS. SO, UM WE'LL WE'LL LOOK AT THAT. WE COULD CERTAINLY HAVE THAT ADDED, UH, TO THIS PROGRAM. I'M NOT SURE THAT IT'S CURRENTLY SHOWN ON THERE. YEAH, I MEAN, IF YOU DRIVE BY YOU'LL SEE IT THE ROADWAY JUST CRUMBLING. AND AGAIN, IT'S JUST THERE'S A DRAINAGE PROBLEM THAT WE PART YOU DO ADDRESS AS WELL. I MEAN THAT WE'LL DEFINITELY TAKE A LOOK AT THAT FOR YOU. OK JUST ALSO. YOU JUST, UM YOU KNOW, PLANNERS, GROVE, UH, THAT IS A SECTION THAT WILL BE SCHEDULED TO KNOW BY THE WAY THIS YEAR. THIS IS IN THIS AREA SO THAT THAT'S GONNA RECEIVE A NEGATIVE

[01:35:03]

WE'RE FINISHING THAT THIS YEAR. AND UH, THERE'S A SECTION HERE WITHIN THE, UH, LINKS THAT IT THAT REMAINS AND THEN ALSO, UH, TIDE WATER SUBDIVISIONS. SO THOSE ARE ALL SCHEDULED FOR, UH, MELANOMA. SO THAT'LL BE REALLY A FACE LIFT FOR THOSE AREAS ONCE A GOOD LEAD INTO MY NEXT QUESTION IS SORT OF THE COMMUNICATION PLAN FOR THE COMMUNITY. UM YOU KNOW, I THINK WE TRY VERY HARD TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S INFORMED WHEN THESE PROJECTS ARE GONNA KICK KICK OFF IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA YOU KNOW RIGHT INTO PEOPLE, AND WE CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH HIM. BEFOREHAND WE CAN ALSO TAKE THE CALLS AFTERWARDS AND APPRECIATE IT. WITH THE PROCESS IS AND BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN IT. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNICATION PLAN IS WELL THOUGHT OUT. AND WE, YOU KNOW, WINDSOR LAST YEAR WAS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT, UH, EFFORT JUST BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF PARKING ON THE SIDE OF TREES AND JUST THE NUMBER OF HOMES THAT ARE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. UM I THINK WE HAD A PRETTY PRETTY EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION STRATEGY. THERE WE DID SEND OUT MAILERS DIRECTLY TO THE, UH TO THE RESIDENTS THAT WERE AFFECTED. WE HAD AFFORDABLE MA BO OUT. I THINK WE EVEN HAD ONE ON OUR WEBSITE. UH, THAT DESCRIBED, UH, SOME OF THOSE THINGS AS WELL, UH, WE PRETENDING TO DO THE SAME THIS YEAR FOR THE FOR THE OTHER HALF, BUT, YEAH, UH, DEFINITELY, UH EACH OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AREAS WILL RECEIVE A DIRECT COMMUNICATION. UM DISREGARDING THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE COMING UP WILL BE PROVIDED WITH THE CONTACT PERSON, YOU KNOW, HAD ANY ISSUES THAT WE FEEL RESPOND TO THEM RIGHT AWAY. WE'LL SHARE ALL THAT INFORMATION WITH COUNCIL, OK? AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION ON THAT POINT IS YOU HAD, UH SUGGESTED THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS GAS PROGRAM AND LET THE PUBLIC SORT OF, YOU KNOW VIEW. THE STREET CONDITIONS BASED ON THE SCORING. IS THAT GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT AGAIN IS BUILT INTO OUR WEBSITE.

WE'RE FOCUSING, GO AND VISIT AND PLAY WITH OR WHAT'S THAT LOOK LIKE? I THINK THAT YOU HAVE TO BE DETERMINED NOT TO HAVE THAT REFER TO, UM TO RYAN KELLY OR EXPERT. UM, I THINK AT A MINIMUM , I THINK THE IMMEDIATE DELIVERABLE WE COULD BE A PLAN THAT INCLUDES, YOU KNOW, SPECIFIC STREET NAMES AND NEIGHBORHOODS, UM, THAT WE COULD THEN GET AT LEAST COMMUNICATE THROUGHOUT. IN IN THIS FORM, AND OTHERS. DEFINITELY AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS TO BECOME MORE, UH, OUTWARD FACING AND PUBLIC ORIENTED. UM, ITS JUST A MATTER OF HOW THEY COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. AND YOU KNOW, UH, WHAT RYAN HAS TO DO TO KIND OF MAKE THAT MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

BUT HE DOES A LOT OF THINGS, BUT THAT IS THE GOAL. THAT IS THE GOAL FOR ABLE TO PUT THIS IN INTO A POSITION WHERE PEOPLE CAN HAVE THAT DIRECT ACCESS AND GET THE ANSWERS TO THESE RIGHT THEN.

RIGHT. THAT'S EXCITING. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT? UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE RESOLUTION? THANKS, JESS. ALL RIGHT. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ANY, UH, PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING RESOLUTION R 1820 24. YOU KNOW, PUBLIC COMMENT. WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE RESOLUTION? I MOVE APPROVAL. UH, RESOLUTION R 1820 24. SO COUNCIL MEMBER DEREK YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER REGRETS YES. I'M I'M SORRY. MAYOR SPALDING COUNCIL MEMBER WILL COUNCIL MEMBER? YES YES, YES TO A R 1820 24. RESOLUTION R 1920 24, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZED IN THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN O CONSENT LEGISLATION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF NOISE WALLS ALONG STATE ROUTE 161 WITHIN THIS EVENING. WE CONTINUE. SO WHY STOP NOW? SO THIS IS MY LAST PIECE OF LEGISLATION FOR THE EVENING. UM SO THIS IS REALLY A PARTNER PROJECT TWO PROJECTS THAT WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED CONSENT LEGISLATION FOR WHICH IS THE WIDENING OF, SAY, ROUTE 161, GENERALLY BETWEEN 270 US 62 SO AS A KIND OF AN APPURTENANCE TO THAT PROJECT, UH, A SOUND STUDY WAS EVALUATED SO O DOT'S CRITERIA REQUIRES THAT ANY TIME ADDITIONAL CAPACITY OR ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC IS ADDED TO A ROADWAY. THEY'RE REQUIRED TO DO A SOUND STUDY TO IDENTIFY AREAS.

WHERE THERE MIGHT BE A NEED TO ADDRESS SOME SOUND MITIGATION ISSUES BECAUSE OF THE INCREASED NOISE THAT IT WILL LIKELY INCUR. UM THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY, AND I'M KIND OF I'M DEFINITELY OUTSIDE OF OUR JURISDICTION AT THIS POINT, BUT THIS IS INTERSTATE 270. THIS IS A 161.

BUT THE STUDY DID COME BACK WITH WITH THESE AREAS THAT IDENTIFIED UH THEY THEY ARE ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL USES ONLY, AND, UM, SO THEY IDENTIFIED, UH, SOUND WALL LOCATIONS IN IN THESE AREAS IN OUR NEXT SLIDE IS GONNA CONTINUE EAST AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS, UH, HAMMER OVER HERE.

[01:40:02]

TALL. UM THE COLUMNS HERE ARE ARE GOING TO BE 24 FT. AND EACH ONE OF THESE PANELS HERE, UH, IS GOING TO BE 1 FT. TALL. UM, SO THAT'S WHAT IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE AND UH, IN A MORE NEW ALBANY ESQUE WAY, AND I WANNA GET FULL CREDIT HERE TO, UH TOM RUBY, WHO'S WITH US, AND HE SPENT A LOT OF EFFORT, UH, COORDINATING WITH, UM UH, WITH O WITH CITY OF COLUMBUS AND WITH THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY, UH, TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, BASICALLY, THE INTENT HERE IS THAT WE END UP WITH A WALL. THAT SORT OF MIMICS, UH, WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE IN NEW ALBANY. THIS IS SORT OF, UM, HARKENS TO THE WHITE FENCE. THE HORSE FENCE, THE NEW ALBANY WITH KIND OF THE VERTICAL ELEMENTS AND THEN THE HORIZONTAL, UH, PANELS AS WELL. UM SO THAT IS WHAT ULTIMATELY IS, IS THE DESIRED OUTCOME THERE? UM AT THE END OF THE O DOT PROJECT, UH, WE'RE STILL ACTIVELY WORKING WITH, UH, THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY . BUT THE PLAN IS TO COME THROUGH AND TO ADD SUPPLEMENTAL PLANTINGS ALONG THE CORRIDOR. WITH THE GOAL OF HAVING IT. LOOK YOU KNOW SOMETHING, SOMETHING LIKE THIS FROM THE ROADWAY ITSELF. RECOGNIZING THIS IS A GATEWAY INTO OUR COMMUNITY AND OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY. UM THEN, YOU ALBANY COMPANY HAS PROACTIVELY CONSIDERED THIS AND IS WORKING TOWARDS IMPLEMENTING THIS ONE IN CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE ON THE IMPROVEMENTS. UM THIS HAS ALL BEEN COMMUNICATED WITH O DOT SO WE HAVE AN AWARENESS OF WHERE THINGS CAN BE PLANTED. IT CAN'T BE PLANTED IN CLEAR ZONES THAT WE NEED TO STAY OUT OF. AND ALL OF THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, UM SO THAT'S A PRETTY ATTRACTIVE, UH, SET UP THERE. SO IS THAT GONNA BE THE DESIGN FOR JUST THE TWO SECTIONS THAT ARE IN THE CITY OR IS THAT NO. AND THANKS TO THE PERSISTENCE OF MR RUBY HERE, AND I WANT TO CONFIRM THAT HE IS A PERSISTENT MAN, UH, UH, WE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO WORK COLLECTIVELY WITH THE CITY OF COLUMBUS AND THE, UH, THIS WILL BE A CONSISTENT TREATMENT BASICALLY THROUGHOUT THE CORRIDOR, OK? AND THEN I SEE THE INSIDE OF COUNTRY. THOSE ARE FIBERGLASS PANELS. THERE ARE FIBERGLASS. THERE'S CONCRETE COLUMNS, UH, THAT ARE ON ON BOTH SIDES, BUT THEY'RE FIBERGLASS PANELS, AND THEY BASICALLY DO, UH, THEY JUST DROP INTO PLACE, AND THEY THEY'RE AN ACCEPTED ALTERNATE BY 0.0 DOT IS, YOU KNOW NOT ALWAYS OPEN TO ALTERNATES. BUT THIS IS ONE THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO, UH TO AGREE TO AND ODON AS WELL. I MEAN, THEIR TEAM HAS BEEN AMAZING TO WORK WITH. THEY HAVE A PROJECT MANAGER ON THIS WHO'S JUST AN EXCEPTIONAL IN COMMUNICATING AND, UH, JUST REALLY, UM, FANTASTIC TO WORK WITH OVERALL. UM, THIS IS SORT OF A SNAPSHOT OF EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING, UH, GENERALLY ALONG ALONG THE 161 CORRIDOR. UH, IT DOESN'T APPEAR AS WELL AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED IT TO. BUT THE, UH, THE GREEN LINES HERE. THEY ARE LOCATIONS OF WHERE THE PROPOSED SOUND WALLS WILL GO.

AND THEN AS I HAD MENTIONED, UH, THE IT USED TO BE ORANGE WHEN I COULD SEE IT CLOSER, BUT THE NOISE ABATEMENT, UH, SAFETY BARRIER. THAT'S THE CONCRETE STRUCTURE THAT I SHOWED EARLIER.

IT SHOWS THOSE LOCATIONS SO IN IN THIS SITUATION HERE, YOU KNOW THIS IS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. BUT THE OUTER LINE THERE IS THAT 14 FT. TALL, UH, NOISE OF NOISE WALL AND THEN

[01:45:02]

UM 605 GOING BASICALLY TO A POINT THAT YOU JUST BEYOND. UH WHAT IS THE WIND OR UM THE WINDSOR NEIGHBORHOOD THERE. THE WALL ITSELF AS I MENTIONED 14 FT TALL GIVEN THE FACT THAT IT IS A FAR OF GLASS PANELED WALL, IT WILL PRESENT THE SAME BOTH FROM THE ROADWAY AND FROM THE HOME PERSPECTIVE, SO JUST THERE'S NO AESTHETIC PRIORITY BEING GIVEN TO ONE VIEW OVER THE OTHER, IT'LL IT'LL MAINTAIN THAT SAME CONSISTENCY. UH, THROUGHOUT, UH, THE CORRIDOR HERE. AND I THINK THAT MIGHT BE IT. YEAH. UM SO WITH THAT, UM, THE O DOT LEGISLATION THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS JUST FOR CONSENT. UH, CITY OF NEW ALBANY IS AWARE OF AND AGREES TO O DOT PERFORMING THIS WORK WITHIN AREAS THAT ARE IN THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY CORPORATE BOUNDARY, AND IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON HERE AT ALL. BUT UM, I'M SORRY THERE IS A THERE IS A RED LINE RIGHT THERE.

UH, THAT IS THE LOCATION WHERE 161 SO ANYWHERE EAST OF THAT IS TECHNICALLY IN THE CITY OF COLUMBUS. EAST THE OTHER EAST ANYWHERE WEST OF THAT IS IN THE CITY OF COLUMBUS. EAST OF THAT IS WHERE WE BEGIN THE NEW ALBANY CORPORATE BOUNDARY. UM, JUST JUST AS A COMPARISON THERE, SO UM WITH THAT. BUT I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE TREES ON THE ROAD SIDE. I KNOW THEY'RE TAKING OUT RIGHT ALL THE TREES ON THE SUBDIVISION SIDE IN ORDER TO PUT THIS THERE HAVE WE GOT ANY PLAN IN TERMS OF WHAT IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE FROM THE SUBDIVISIONS PERSPECTIVE OUT TO 14 FT. LONG? SO WITH REGARD TO WIND, UH THERE IS A REALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA I IT MAY BE A RESERVE AREA. UM DON'T OF THE DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT, BUT THERE IS VERY MUCH AN EXISTING TREE BUFFER THAT IS FULLY CONTAINED WITHIN THE WINDSOR SUBDIVISION. I THOUGHT THAT WE HAD TO BE REMOVED. THAT WON'T HAVE TO BE REMOVED NOW. UH, NO. SO BASICALLY, THERE'S AN EXISTING WHITE FENCE OUT THERE. SO UH, THE INTENT WOULD BE THAT THE FENCE, YOU KNOW FROM THE 161 SIDE IS WHERE THE CLEARING IS GOING TO OCCUR. IF IT'S IF IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE, IT WILL NOT BE CLEARED THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME SITUATIONS WHERE WE HAVE SOME TREES THAT MIGHT BE ON. UH, YOU KNOW YOUR SIDE OF THAT FENCE THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE A LIMB UP OR OR, YOU KNOW. ACTED IN SOME WAY JUST TO SUPPORT THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE. UH, BUT BEYOND THAT, WE DON'T ANTICIPATE , UH, REMOVALS OR OR, YOU KNOW, MASS CLEARING OF ANYTHING, UH, WITHIN THAT, SO OK? SOME MIKE, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE RENDERING OF WHAT THE WALL LOOKS LIKE? I MEAN, IS IT IS IT JUST WHITE BRICK. THEN. YEAH. YEAH. SO UH, MAYOR THAT THE GRAY IS FIBERGLASS IT IT'S ACTUALLY SCORED. THERE ARE 10 HORIZONTAL. OR GOING UP TO THE TOP. THE THERE'S ALSO WHITE BORDER, BOTH VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY. UM WHAT WE'RE TRYING IN. THAT IS NOT FIBERGLASS. THAT IS, UH, KIND. CORRECT. CORRECT UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE AND AGAIN MIGHT MENTIONED THIS, BUT IT'S WORTH REITERATING. OH, GOD HAS BEEN FANTASTIC TO WORK WITH ON THIS A VERY AMENABLE, ACTUALLY WALKED THIS CORRIDOR AS IT RELATES TO TREE CLEARING WHERE THAT WILL HAPPEN, SELECTIVE TREE CLEARING AND THE LIKE, UM, THERE CERTAINLY WILL BE SIGNIFICANT TREATMENT MORE TO THE WEST THAN IN FRONT OF WINDSOR. BUT THERE WILL STILL BE SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT TREE PLANNING FOR THE WINDSOR SUBDIVISION. WE WERE ABLE TO AFFECT THAT TO A CERTAIN DEGREE. UM, WE'RE TRYING TO, UM WE ARE MODIFYING ASSOCIATION FEES AND BUDGETS SO THAT THE MASTER ASSOCIATION WILL BE THE, UM ENTITY THAT WILL HELP FUND THE

[01:50:06]

HOPEFULLY YOUR QUESTIONS THAT RELATES TO THE MATERIAL AND THE COLOR OF THE WALL OR TRYING TO GET BACK. NOW IS THE UM, HEIGHT VARIATION. UH, RIGHT NOW IT IT BETWEEN THOSE 24 FT SECTIONS THERE. YOU CAN SEE IF THEY'RE IN THAT SLIDE THAT OFTENTIMES THE WALLS HOP UP AND DOWN, AND THERE'S NO CONTROL OF THAT. THAT'S A REAL SOMETHING WE'RE TRYING TO CONTROL SO THAT ALL OF THOSE STEPS WILL BE CONSISTENT. UM 1, FT. IN HEIGHT. YOU'RE PUSHING BACK A BIT. UH, RIGHT NOW, BUT II, I THINK WE. ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT ANY SORT OF, UH UM, LOGOS OR OTHER MARKINGS ON ON THE WALLS. SO UM, BACK TO WHAT MIKE WAS DESCRIBING OON IN THEIR PROCESS AND WHAT THEY DO.

IS THEY? THEY, UM REACH OUT TO THE VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOODS AND ASK THE NEIGHBOR. GEEZ DO YOU WANT TO SOUND WELL OR DON'T DO YOU MEET THE BENCHMARKS? IF YOU WANT TO SOUND LONG, OK, THEY BOTH BOTH MAJORITY WINS. THEN THEY ASK THEM WHAT KIND OF YOU THEY WOULD LIKE. AND THERE ARE I'M GONNA SAY HALF A DOZEN OPTIONS. OH, YOU CAN HAVE LOGOS THAT CAN LOOK LIKE A ROCK. IT CAN LOOK LIKE STONE. IT CAN BE AND IT CAN BE GRAY, AND IT CAN BE LIKE A REDDISH TONE. BACK TO CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE THAT SHOWED JUST THE WHOLE 161 CORRIDOR. WHERE THE THERE WE HAVE, SO THERE WERE NO LESS THAN FOUR DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE NEIGHBORS VOTED, SO THEY WERE ALL INCONSISTENT. SOME WERE GRAVE. SOME WERE TAN. SOME WERE RED. NONE OF THEM HAD THE LOGOS ON IT, BUT THEY WERE ALL DIFFERENT. RIGHT, UH, ONE OF THE OPTIONS DOES ALLOW YOU TO IDENTIFY THE NAME OF THE COMMUNITY. WITH REST AND, YOU KNOW, KIND OF, UM EMBLAZED ON IT, SO I MEAN, IT CERTAINLY APPRECIATE, UM, THE CONSISTENCY THAT YOU KNOW WOULD BE SUPER IMPORTANT. I'D HATE TO SEE FIVE SOUND LAWS IN THAT IN THAT SPACE SPA, YOU KNOW? A COUPLE OF MILES, BUT JUST DRIVING AROUND THE STATE OF OHIO A LOT. UM YOU KNOW, YOU GO TO DAYTON. THEY HAVE A SPECIAL BRANDING YOU GO, YOU KNOW, SELL THE AIR FORCE. UM ISSUES. UH, TROY, OHIO HAS A GREAT ANDS ON THERE. YOU KNOW, TROY USA. UM MADINA HAS A BEAUTIFUL BRICK WALL WITH ELEMENTS OF THEIR COMMUNITY IN IN BOSTON, EACH ONE OF THE BRICK WALLS AND SAME THING, HAVE THEIR NAME ON IT. SO I, I JUST YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF I MEAN IF I HAD A PICK BETWEEN THAT CONSISTENT FEATURE FROM START TO FINISH. I WOULD VOTE FOR THAT. BUT IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO YOU KNOW, USE SOME NEW ALBANY BRANDING WITHIN OUR JURISDICTION . IF THAT'S AGAIN, I WANT TO UPSET THAT WITHOUT THE CARD. BUT IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S EVEN AN OPTION? YEAH I YOU KNOW, AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA BE BUILT WITHIN OUR WITHIN OUR CORPORATE BOUNDARY. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE TO OWN AND MAINTAIN.

SO I THINK WE DO HAVE A LOT OF LATITUDE IN TERMS OF WHAT WE WOULD ALLOW AS A CITY, UH, WITH WITHIN THIS AREA, SO, UM, YOU KNOW, AT AT THE SAME TIME TOO, IF YOU IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, UM YOU KNOW, THE FIRST ONE. THE WESTERN MOST SOUND WALL WITHIN THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY IS REALLY RIGHT AND OVERPASS. SO IT IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF DRESS UP THE OVERPASS ITSELF FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE KIND OF PASSING UNDERNEATH IT. SO UM, II, I THINK THE OP THE OPPORTUNITY REMAINS FOR WHAT THAT MIGHT BECOME IN THE FUTURE. THE OTHER CONSIDERATION TOO, IS, YOU KNOW WHEN OR YOU KNOW WILL AND WHEN THIS THIS WIDENING CONTINUE FURTHER EAST ALONG STATE ROUTE 161. SO UM, I GUESS BASED ON THAT, UH, I. I DON'T THINK THAT THE OPPORTUNITY HAS PASSED. I THINK WE STILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL. UH, YOU KNOW, TO KIND OF, UH, IS DELINEATE YOU'RE IN NEW ALBANY. SO AGAIN THING TO ADD TO ONE OF THE THING TO ADD THAT OUR OUR HOPE IS THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT SOME TYPE OF BRAND AND BUT THAT WOULD HAPPEN SPECIFICALLY AT THE INTERCHANGES, UH, STARTING AT HAMILTON, EXTENDING ALL THE WAY EVEN TO MINK. UM, MAYBE THEY'RE YOU KNOW, MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN THE THINGS THAT THAT SPECIFIC TO THE CITY OF NEW ORLEAN THAT PERHAPS START TO INVOLVE AN INTERCHANGE BUT IS NOT INCORPORATED INTO THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE SOUND WALL OR THE BARRICADES OR BARRICADES. SO WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE?

[01:55:03]

UM THE VERY LONG MEETING. UH, FOR THE JOINT PARKS. UM, MAINLY A DISCUSSION AROUND. UM THE UTILITIES THAT ARE NEEDED. FOR THE FIELD HOUSE. AND THE FACT THAT WE DO NOT HAVE ANY ANSWER OR RESOLUTION ON THOSE UTILITIES AND WE'RE KIND OF GOING ON TWO YEARS NOW SINCE IT WAS APPROVED, SO THERE WAS, UH, QUITE A BIT OF DISCUSSION. I THINK EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM IS, UM YOU KNOW, KIND OF RESPECTIVELY, UH, EXPRESSED SOME FRUSTRATION WITH THAT, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE HOPEFULLY, UH, THERE SHOULD BE SOME IDEA, MAYBE BY THE END OF THE MONTH. UM KIND OF WHAT THAT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE.

UH, THE OTHER ITEM IS, UM HAPPY TO SAY THAT AS A RESULT OF OUR DISCUSSION IN OUR LAST MEETING AROUND PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENTS, THE JOINT PARK DISTRICT, UH, DID ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE AND IS RUNNING FULL BOARD WITH IT. UM IF YOU'VE NOTICED, JOSH HAS DONE A GREAT JOB GETTING OUT THE NEWS. UH IT WENT LIVE YESTERDAY.

SO IT'S A RANKING AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, US NEWS REPORTS ARE ALL FOR, YOU KNOW, CLICK BAIT AND SUBSCRIPTIONS AND I KNOW IT'S GREAT WHEN YOU'RE RANKED REALLY HIGH, BUT, UH, I THINK, UH, YOU CAN TAKE ALL THOSE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.

AND THEN THEY ALSO NEED TO ADD AN ELEMENTARY BUILDING. UH THAT WILL HOUSE AT LEAST TWO GRADES. UH, IN ABOUT 1000 STUDENTS, UH, THE SITE THAT HAS KIND OF BEEN ZEROED IN ON IS THE EXISTING BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS. UM SO THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SITES TO RELOCATE THOSE FIELDS TO CURRENTLY.

IN THAT DISCUSSION APRIL, 16TH COUNCIL WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL WORKLOAD. THE EVENT WOULD PLACE ON CITY STAFF AND LAST YEAR WE ASKED CITY STAFF TO PLAN AND EXECUTE TWO EVENTS.

JUNE 10TH AND DIWALI. UH, CITY STAFF COMPLETED BOTH THOSE EVENTS. THEY WERE VERY WELL ATTENDED AND VERY SUCCESSFUL. UM, COMPARED TO THOSE TWO EVENTS . ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I WAS SUPPORTING IT WAS BECAUSE THE PICKLE BALL TOURNAMENT WOULD HAVE COST ABOUT 1/10 OF THOSE EVENTS. AND REQUIRED MUCH LESS WORKLOAD ON STAFF. I KNOW ONE OF THE OTHER REASONS, UM, THAT I REALLY WANTED. IT WAS THAT IT PROVIDED REVENUE BACK TO THE CITY AND THAT REVENUE WOULD HAVE COVERED. THE COST TO INCURRED BY THE STAFF WOULD HAVE BEEN USED FOR MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP OF THE BIG B COURTS AND PROVIDED COUNSEL WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO REDIRECT TAXPAYER FUNDS TO OTHER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS LIKE LEISURE TRAILS, BIKE LANES AND PARKLAND.
