VOTES TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:34 P.M. AT THIS TIME, I TURN IT OVER TO OUR STAFF PRESENTATION FOR THE TOWNSHIP ROB PLANT TO DISCUSS THIS A LITTLE MORE IN DETAIL. THANK YOU, TRUSTEE WETZEL. THANK YOU, MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE THIS EVENING AND CERTAINLY APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. SO FOR THE RECORD, THIS IS A CETA AGREEMENT, A COOPERATIVE COOPERATIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THIS IS A JOINT HEARING REQUIRED BY STATUTE IN ORDER FOR TWO ENTITIES TO ENTER INTO IT. SO WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE YOU ADDING THIS TO YOUR AGENDA THIS EVENING. YOU HAD RECEIVED A INITIAL COPY, AN INITIAL COPY THAT WAS PUBLISHED FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION. AND CONSIDERATION. THERE IS A MINIMUM 30 DAY REQUIREMENT. I AM AWARE THAT BOTH ENTITIES DID DO THAT. AS WITH ANY PUBLICATION, IT DOES GIVE TIME FOR ADDITIONAL [00:05:01] REVIEW COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK, AS WELL AS WHAT WE MAY OR MAY NOT RECEIVE TONIGHT. SO THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE MINOR CHANGES AS WE RUN AS THROUGH THE DOCUMENT. THE ORIGINAL THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED. SO I WANT TO TAKE A QUICK MINUTE HERE AND JUST RUN THROUGH THESE SO THAT THESE DO GET READ INTO THE RECORD. YOU SHOULD HAVE A RED LINE COPY IN FRONT OF YOU. AND THERE ON PAGE TWO YOU'LL FIND WHERE THE RESOLUTIONS, NUMBERS AND DATES WERE ADDED ON PAGE FOUR, UNDER THE UNDER SECTION FIVE, THERE WAS LANGUAGE ADDED UNDER THE NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY SECTION, WHERE IT IS THE TOWNSHIP'S INTENT TO REQUIRE NEW DEVELOPMENT TO ENTER INTO AN NCAA. AGAIN, THIS THIS APPLIES TO DEVELOPMENT AS OF ITS EFFECTIVE DATE OF MOVING FORWARD, SO DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND ZONING AND THINGS LIKE THAT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THIS. SO THAT THAT NCAA IS IN THERE. I WOULD NOTE FOR THE RECORD THAT THAT IS ALSO A REQUIREMENT OF THE TOWNSHIP IN ORDER FOR WATER AND SEWER SERVICES TO BE EXTENDED TO THAT PARCEL SO THAT THAT IS JUST FOLLOWING WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE. I'D ASK YOU TO TURN TO PAGE SIX UNDER STREET MAINTENANCE. WE ARE AWARE THAT THERE IS A SHARED MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT ON VARIOUS ROADS BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE TOWNSHIP, AND SO WE DID MAKE NOTE OF THAT, THAT, THAT THOSE COULD BE IN EFFECT AT THE TIME. AND SO IF THERE WERE PRIOR ONES THAT THOSE ARE CALLED OUT THERE. PAGE SEVEN RIGHT AT THE END OF SECTION SEVEN, IT DOES GIVE A STATEMENT THAT THE CITY MANAGER AND THE TOWNSHIP ADMINISTRATOR WILL ESTABLISH THE PROCEDURES AND THE TIMELINES FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF, OF, OF HOW THIS IS GOING TO ROLL OUT WHEN DEVELOPMENT PLANS ARE SUBMITTED TO THE TOWNSHIP. GENERALLY, WHAT WE'VE DISCUSSED IS JUST FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE IS AS THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS ARE SUBMITTED TO THE TOWNSHIP, WE SUBMIT THEM TO LINCOLN COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AS REQUIRED BY LAW. WE WOULD JUST DO THAT AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE CITY AND THEN RUN THOSE CONCURRENT FOR YOUR REVIEW AS WELL. WE DID HAVE A COUPLE CHANGES IN THE ACTUAL JET AGREEMENT, AND THIS IS A TEMPLATE. WE CALLED IT EXHIBIT B TO THE CETA AGREEMENT. AGAIN, WE JUST FILLED IN THE RESOLUTION NUMBERS AND DATES. THERE WAS A CHANGE. ON PAGE 21IN SECTION EIGHT, IT HAS BEEN THE TOWNSHIP'S INTENTION THROUGHOUT THIS THAT AS WE ENTER INTO JET AGREEMENTS, SHOULD THE CITY WISH TO PARTNER WITH US, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY IS MADE WHOLE IN THAT. SO WE THERE, WE ALL ARE AWARE THAT YOU HAVE A INCOME TAX COLLECTION FEE WHEN YOU WHEN YOU UTILIZE READER'S SERVICES. AND CERTAINLY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT DOES NOT COST THE CITY ANYTHING. SO THERE IS LANGUAGE IN THERE TO PROTECT YOU WITH THAT. THAT IS STANDARD AND ANY, ANY DEBT THAT WE WOULD WANT TO ENTER INTO. SO WE DID ADD THAT IN BELIEVE THAT COVERS THE MAJORITY OF THE CHANGES. I DON'T SEE ANY MORE. I'D ASK THE CITY MANAGER IF HE'S AWARE OF ANY OTHER. THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER CHANGES IN THESE CHANGES HAVE BEEN MUTUALLY AGREED TO AT THE STAFF LEVEL. SUBJECT TO COUNCIL AND TRUSTEE APPROVAL. SO IN ADDITION TO THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT THAT WAS PUBLISHED, AND THEN THESE CHANGES, WE ARE ASKING THE ENTITIES TO CONSIDER ADOPTING THESE THIS EVENING, I WOULD SAY THAT TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY, CERTAINLY THIS HAS BEEN A WORK IN PROGRESS FOR A GREAT NUMBER OF MONTHS, AND I WOULD ALMOST ARGUE A FEW YEARS. OUR, OUR TRUSTEES HAVE BEEN IN CONSULTATION WITH YOUR CITY STAFF LONG BEFORE I JOINED THE TOWNSHIP. WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE MR. STEFANO'S EFFORTS IN THIS AND THE TIME THAT'S BEEN DEVOTED TO THIS. WE FEEL THIS IS A GREAT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES. WE CERTAINLY LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR PARTNERSHIP. WE BELIEVE THE TOWNSHIP WILL BENEFIT FROM THE EXPERTISE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE CLEARLY SHOWN OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS OF GREAT QUALITY DEVELOPMENT. AND SO WE THINK THAT JERSEY TOWNSHIP, AS IT BUILDS OUT THE WAY THAT WE'RE WANTING IT TO AND WITH OUR TOWNSHIPS. TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS DESIRES IN MIND, WE THINK THAT LOOKING TO NEW ALBANY AS A PARTNER AND A RESOURCE IS GREAT FOR OUR COMMUNITY. SO WE CERTAINLY THANK YOU FOR THAT. MR. STEFANO. AT THE STAFF LEVEL, WE WOULD AGREE THAT WE THINK THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY TO ASSIST JERSEY TOWNSHIP IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. THAT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THE THOSE THAT YOU SEE IN THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. CERTAINLY, THERE WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY BY THE TOWNSHIP AROUND THE PART OF THE TOWNSHIP TO MAINTAIN A PARTICULAR ESTHETIC THAT IT WOULD WANT TO PURSUE. WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT APPLYING GEORGIAN ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS TO JERSEY TOWNSHIP. THAT BEING SAID, THERE ARE SOME DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AND THEY DIFFERENTIATE NEW ALBANY FROM FROM OTHER COMMUNITIES. AND THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT THE CITY AND THE TOWNSHIP FIND DESIRABLE FOR THIS AREA. THE INTENTION OF THE CETA IS TO GIVE THE CITY THE OPPORTUNITY TO [00:10:05] WORK WITH THE TOWNSHIP AND ESTABLISH THOSE MUTUALLY ACCEPTABLE DESIGN GUIDELINES, AND THEN APPLY THOSE STANDARDS AS DEVELOPMENT OCCURS THROUGHOUT THE THROUGHOUT THE AREA OF THE TOWNSHIP. BUT THE DESIGNATED AREA, WHICH, BY THE WAY, THE AREA BOUNDARIES, WHICH ARE SHOWN AS AN EXHIBIT ON THE CETA, OUR GREEN CHAPEL ROAD TO THE NORTH AREA JUST SOUTH OF MORRIS ROAD TO THE SOUTH, TO THE EAST IS 310 AND THE WEST IS MINK MINK STREET. SO ANYTHING THAT WOULD OCCUR WITHIN THAT AREA WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE TO THE DESIGN GUIDELINES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT A JET AGREEMENT WAS ACTUALLY ENTERED INTO BY THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. THE EXHIBIT THAT'S ATTACHED TO THE CETA IS AS AS ROB SAID, IS A IS A TEMPLATE AS WE AS THE TIME COMES TO ENTER INTO VARIOUS JET AGREEMENTS, THOSE WILL HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY BY COUNCIL AND THE TRUSTEES AS WELL. AND SOME OF THOSE MAY DIFFER IN SOME OF THEIR THEIR TERMS. BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, WHAT YOU SEE IS, IS PART OF THE IS THE EXHIBIT TO THE CETA WILL BE THE GENERAL STANDARD THAT WE WOULD WE WOULD PROPOSE TO USE. THE CETA AGREEMENT PROVIDES FOR THE CITY TO HAVE THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ON ANY, ANY FUTURE JET AGREEMENTS. IF THE CITY WOULD WOULD DECLINE, THEN THE TOWNSHIP WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER WITH ANY OTHER MUNICIPALITY THAT WOULD THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORC. AND THERE ARE SOME LIMITS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE ON THE COMMUNITIES AND WHICH COMMUNITIES BASED ON DISTANCE OR PROXIMITY, ARE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH THE TOWNSHIP. THERE ARE PROVISIONS IN THE AGREEMENT THAT DISCUSS THE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CREATION OF THE DESIGN GUIDELINES, THE CITY'S CONTRIBUTION WOULD BE 80% OF THE OF THE CREATION OF THE DOCUMENT, WITH A PROVISION FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO THE CITY OVER TIME, AS DEVELOPMENT BEGINS TO OCCUR AND REIMBURSEMENT IS NECESSARY. AND AS ROB EXCUSE ME AND AS ROB MENTIONED, THERE IS A PROVISION TO REIMBURSE THE CITY FOR ITS ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS AS WELL AS THE INCOME TAX COLLECTION COSTS, WHICH ARE ADDRESSED IN THE JET. I THINK THAT'S IT. I THINK THOSE ARE MOST OF THE HIGH POINTS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD ON. NO. THE ONLY OTHER THING I WOULD ADD IS MAYBE JUST FOR OUR RESIDENTS UNDERSTANDING AND MAYBE LISTENING OR IN ATTENDANCE, THE LAND USE PLAN THAT'S CALLED OUT IN THE CETA IS A JOINT EFFORT BETWEEN THE TOWNSHIP AND THE CITY TO REALLY TAKE THE NEXT STEP. FROM WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY OUR ZONING IN PLACE, WHATEVER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN PLACE, THIS IS GOING TO PUT MORE OF THE DESIGN STANDARDS IN PLACE THAT IN SOME CASES, SOMEWHAT ALREADY EXIST IN OUR OVERLAY ZONING, WE UTILIZE PUDS, BUT THIS WILL KIND OF BRING THAT ALL TOGETHER AND GIVE A VISION OF WHAT THE TOWNSHIP IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE AS IT BUILDS OUT. SO IT'S A NEXT STEP. IF YOU WILL, FROM A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. CERTAINLY BEING ABLE TO PARTNER WITH THE CITY ON THAT AND WORK WITH A CONSULTANT ON THAT WILL BE A GREAT BENEFIT FOR US. SO WE APPRECIATE THAT. OTHER THAN THAT, I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENTS. THANK YOU. ONE OTHER POINT I WANTED TO MENTION IS THE INITIAL TERM OF THE AGREEMENT IS 50 YEARS WITH 225 YEAR OPTIONS FOR RETAIL, AND THE AGREEMENTS ARE STRUCTURED SO THAT THEY WOULD THEIR TERMS WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE TERM OF THE CEDAR. OKAY. ANY DISCUSSION FROM THE MUNICIPALS, WHETHER IT BE THE TOWNSHIP OR ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF REGARDING THE REPORTS OF MISTER PLATT AND MISTER STEFANO. YES, I JUST HAVE TWO REAL QUICK, JUST SO I I'M UP TO DATE ON THAT. SO WHEN YOU WERE MENTIONING THE REIMBURSEMENT BACK TO THE CITY ON PAGE 21 OF THE DOCUMENT, I'M ASSUMING THAT'S WHAT SECTION D IS OUTLINING KIND OF RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE UNDER DISTRIBUTIONS OF DISTRICT INCOME TAX. THAT'S OFF THE GROSS TAX THAT'S COLLECTED. THAT IS REIMBURSING THE CITY ADMINISTRATION FEE AND MAINTENANCE FEE. IS THAT WHERE THE LANGUAGE STANDS? IF I'M CORRECT, THE READER FEE IS TAKEN FROM THE GROSS AND THEN THE REMAINDER OF THE MANAGEMENT REIMBURSEMENT IS OFF THE NET. IF MY MEMORY IS CORRECT, THAT'S HOW [00:15:03] WE HAVE IT STRUCTURED. YES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? WELL, JUST THEN JUST TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF MAYBE I'M JUST NOT UNDERSTANDING IT. JUST ON THE PARAGRAPH BEFORE SECTION NINE. THEN ON PAGE 20, THE VERY LAST PART OF THAT WHERE IT SAYS THE TAX AGREEMENT SHALL PROVIDE FOR THE PAYMENT OF A FEE BY THE DISTRICT TO THE CITY IN EXCHANGE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION, COLLECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE DISTRICT INCOME TAX ON BEHALF OF THE DISTRICT. THE CITY ADMINISTRATION FEE IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED 4%, WHICH DOES INCLUDE THE READ OF WHICH I SEE THERE. SO THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT OFF THE NET. YES. OKAY. I BELIEVE IF I CAN LOOK AT THAT, I BELIEVE THE. THE NET CHARGE IS 5%. IF MY MEMORY IS CORRECT, 4% ON. I DON'T KNOW, 5% ON THE NET. YEAH, YEAH. YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S 4% OR THE READER FEES. WHATEVER IS GREATER. RIGHT. AND THEN THE 5% WOULD COVER AT SOME POINT ONCE DEVELOPMENT BEGINS TO OCCUR, OCCUR, THE 5% WOULD COVER THE OTHER EXPENSES RELATED TO PLANNING. OVERVIEW. THE STAFFIN. THEN WE HAVE THE WE ALSO HAVE THE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS SET UP AT 5% TO WRITE OFF OF THE NET INFRASTRUCTURE FUND SHARE, I BELIEVE, IS THAT 70% ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE? I THINK IT WAS 70%. BUT YES, THAT'S OFF. THAT SHOULD BE OFF THE NET AS WELL. YEAH. YOU'LL SEE THE NET BREAKDOWN IN SECTION TEN RIGHT UNDER THE DISTRIBUTION. YEAH, YEAH. PAGE 21. YEP. 70% JERSEY SHARE 5% NET TAXES. NEW ALBANY JED BOARD INFRASTRUCTURE FUND 5%. AND THEN SOUTHWEST LICKING AT 20, CORRECT? YES. THAT'S CORRECT. AND THEN MY FINAL QUESTION. THANK YOU. MY FINAL QUESTION IS AS IT RELATES TO THE BOARD MAKEUP. AND REALLY THIS 20% TO SOUTHWEST LICKING, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN A SITUATION WHERE MAYBE YOU DO NOT USE SOUTHWEST LICKING AND MAYBE YOU USE COLUMBUS WATER AND SEWER OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE. HOW DOES THIS REFLECT THAT? SO THE WATER DISTRICT WOULD STILL RECEIVE THE 20%. IT'S MORE OF AN O&M TYPE. OKAY. PAY FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A PROJECTS ELSEWHERE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COVER THEIR COST FOR. SO OKAY, EVEN IF IT'S NOT RIGHT ON THAT SITE OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? OKAY. TRUSTEE WILSON. YEAH. AT THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO SOLICIT PUBLIC COMMENT. ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC HAS ANY COMMENTS OR CONCERNS, JUST IF YOU HAVE A COMMENT YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH COUNCIL ON THE TRUSTEES, PLEASE COME UP TO THE MIC, INTRODUCE YOURSELF. HOW'S IT GOING? I'M MATTHEW MARTIN FROM JERSEY TOWNSHIP. MY QUESTION WAS ON THE LEVY OF THE DISTRICT INCOME TAX. NOW IS THAT FOR INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTS OR IS THAT JUST FOR BUSINESSES. AND SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT. THE AG APPLIES TO COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. THERE IS A PROVISION IN THE STATUTE THAT ALLOWS FOR IT TO APPLY TO MIXED USE, BUT IT DOES NOT APPLY IN OUR CASE. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO OUR EXISTING RESIDENTS. IT IS ONLY ON THE NEW DEVELOPMENT WITHIN JERSEY TOWNSHIP, AGAIN STRUCTURED AROUND COMMERCIAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, POTENTIALLY SOME MIXED USE. THAT ONE IS KIND OF A CASE BY CASE. WE'LL HAVE TO FIGURE THAT ONE OUT. OKAY. SO IT'S THE INCOME OF THE WHOLE BUSINESS. SO THE INCOME TAX APPLIES TO THE NET PROFITS OF THE BUSINESS AND THE WORKERS THAT ARE WORKING ON THAT SITE. AND THE WORKERS, OKAY. YEP. THAT'S THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS JOINT BODY? GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE. ALL RIGHT. ON BEHALF OF THE CITY, I WOULD MOVE THAT. WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SECOND. I'M SORRY. WHO WAS THE SECOND? DID YOU GET A SECOND, MAYOR SPALDING? YES.

ON BEHALF OF THE CITY, LET ME SAY THANK YOU TO OUR COLLEAGUES IN JERSEY TOWNSHIP FOR WORKING SO HARD OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS FOR THIS TO BECOME A REALITY. OBVIOUSLY, OUR REGION'S BEEN GROWING IN LEAPS AND BOUNDS AND THIS COOPERATION IS A GOOD EXAMPLE TO THE REST OF LICKING COUNTY ABOUT THE WAY THAT COMMUNITIES CAN WORK TOGETHER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE PRESENTED, AND WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE WHAT JERSEY TOWNSHIP DOES IN THIS AREA AND SEE WHAT KIND OF THINGS THEY CAN BRING TO OUR COMMUNITY AND YOURS TO SORT OF ENHANCE THE THINGS THAT WE ENJOY EVERY DAY. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE COOPERATION AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE PARTNERSHIP. ABSOLUTELY. PRETTY MUCH REITERATE THAT BACK BECAUSE WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY. I WANT TO THANK YOUR STAFF AS WELL AS JOE FOR ALL HIS HARD WORK. AND I SEE A COUPLE GENTLEMEN HERE THAT WORKED ON IT ALONG THE WAY. SO THANK YOU.

MINUTES FROM NOVEMBER OF 2023 FOR OUR 2024 ANNUAL BUDGET. THOSE WERE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL. ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS TO THE PROPOSED MINUTES AFTER DISTRIBUTION OF THE MINUTES? DIRECTOR STOTTS CLARIFIED THAT PARAGRAPH ON WAS THE LAST PAGE. I THINK THAT WAS PAGE 18 REGARDING A QUESTION ABOUT EXPECTATION OF FEDERAL SINGLE AUDITS WHILE THE CITY WAS RECEIVING FEDERAL GRANT MONEY, AND SHE CLARIFIED THAT THE CITY DOES NOT ANTICIPATE A FEDERAL SINGLE SINGLE AUDIT AFTER YEAR FOUR BECAUSE THE GRANT MONEY RECEIVED WILL BE BELOW THE SET THRESHOLD.

SO THE CITY CODE REQUIRES THAT LEISURE TRAIL BE INSTALLED ALONG THE FRONTAGE OF THAT LOT. ANY TIME NEW CONSTRUCTION HAPPENS WITHIN THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A FEE IN LIEU PAYMENT INSTEAD OF CONSTRUCTING THE LEISURE TRAIL AS PART OF THIS LEGISLATION, THE CITY CODE, CHAPTER 1187, THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS STATE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL SHALL DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THE REQUEST DUE TO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS, AND SO ONLY ONE NEEDS TO BE MET. THE FIRST ONE IS THE LEISURE TRAILS AND PRACTICAL DUE TO TOPOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS OR SITE CONSTRAINTS, OR. THE SECOND IS THAT LEISURE TRAILS DO NOT EXIST IN THE AREA. THERE IS NOT A LIKELIHOOD FOR TRAILS TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE NEAR FUTURE, AND THAT A FEE IN LIEU WOULD BETTER SERVE THE COMMUNITY THAN A TRAIL BEING INSTALLED AT THE REQUIRED LOCATION. SO THE CITY STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUESTS AND OFFERS THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION FOR CITY COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION. IT DOES APPEAR THAT A TRAIL COULD BE INSTALLED USING CONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION MEANS AND METHODS AT THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. THERE DON'T APPEAR TO BE ANY TOPOGRAPHIC OR SPECIFIC SITE CONDITIONS OTHERWISE. HOWEVER, A FEE IN LIEU PAYMENT HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR OTHER SITES ALONG KITZMILLER ROAD AS RECENTLY AS 2020. AT THE 6000 PROPERTY ALONG THE STREETS, AND THEN ALSO THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1000FT AWAY FROM THE CLOSEST EXISTING LEISURE TRAIL. SO THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE A LIKELIHOOD FOR TRAILS TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE FUTURE. SO FROM THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE PROPERTY HERE TO THE CLOSEST EXISTING LEISURE PATH ALONG CENTRAL COLLEGE AT FIVE POINTS IS OVER A THOUSAND FEET. AND FINALLY, THE CITY'S 2018 LEISURE TRAIL MASTER PLAN DOES NOT IDENTIFY KITZMILLER ROAD AS A PRIORITY CORRIDOR WITHIN THE TRAIL SYSTEM, SO THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED THREE CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATES FOR REVIEW. THE CITY ENGINEER HAS REVIEWED IT AND THEN, BASED ON THE COST ESTIMATES PROVIDED AND RECENT CITY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, THE CITY STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT $61 PER LINEAR FOOT BE APPLIED TO THE PROPERTY. THE PROPERTY ITSELF IS 180FT, SO LESS IT'S DRIVEWAY. THAT WOULD BE 168FT OF FRONTAGE. TIMES $61 PER LINEAR FOOT WOULD BE A FEE IN LIEU THAT TOTALS $10,248. AND SO THAT'S THE RECOMMENDED PAYMENT FROM STAFF. THIS LEGISLATION ALSO ACCEPTS RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION FROM 30FT THE CENTER LINE. SO THE PROPERTY THIS IS THE NEW PROPERTY LINE. SO THIS IS THE WHAT THE NEW HOUSE. SO THE APPLICANT AND THIS LEGISLATION ACCEPTS 30FT OF RIGHT OF WAY FROM THE CENTER LINE OF THE ROAD WITHIN THE PROPERTY. AND SO THIS IS SUFFICIENT TO ACCOMMODATE THE CONSTRUCTION OF A LEISURE TRAIL AT SUCH TIME IN THE FUTURE THAT THE CITY MAY DETERMINE IT IS NECESSARY. AND THEN LASTLY, THIS LEGISLATION ALSO REQUESTS TO REQUEST AN EMERGENCY THAT WOULD WAIVE THE SECOND READING AND [00:40:06] ALSO THE 30 DAY REFERENDUM PERIOD, AND STAFF IS HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THE THOROUGH REPORT. ANY QUESTIONS OF COUNCIL? I JUST HAVE ONE FOR YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY RIGHT OF WAY ON THE OTHER LOT TO THE CENTER LINE OR. NO. ON THE SOUTHERN LINE? YES. AND NO. WE DON'T. I'M ASSUMING THIS MEETS SATISFACTION OF THE LANDOWNERS, PROPERTY OWNERS? YES. THEY ARE HERE TONIGHT. GOOD TO KNOW. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE'LL WE'LL GO AHEAD AND SET THIS ORDINANCE FOR A SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AT OUR MEETING ON NOVEMBER 5TH. OH, WE CAN CAN WE WAIT FOR MR. ALL RIGHT. I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. MY SCRIPTS ARE WRONG NOW. SORRY, SORRY. SO, YES, WE DID PRESENT THIS AS A DECLARATION OF AN EMERGENCY. SO WE WILL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING RIGHT NOW. WOULD ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING ORDINANCE OH 38 2024? GREG. NOT MUCH TO SAY, JUST THANK YOU FOR GETTING THIS DONE. I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL THE NAMES, BUT EVERYBODY THAT WORKED ON IT. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE. I KNOW THIS WAS A TRYING PROCESS TO GET TO THIS POINT, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE. IT'S ALWAYS HARD TO BE A YOU KNOW, A PIONEER. IT'S BETTER TO BE A SETTLER. BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR PUBLIC COMMENT? ALL RIGHT THEN I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I WOULD MOVE FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE. OH 38 2024. SECOND. MAYOR. SPALDING. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. FELLOWS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHAW. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WILSHIRE. YES. FIVE YES. VOTES TO ADOPT ORDINANCE. OH 38 2024. ALL RIGHT. THAT TAKES US TO ORDINANCE. OH 39 2024 AN ORDINANCE TO ACCEPT A LIMITED WARRANTY DEED FOR THE PARCEL, KNOWN AS 222-00066-0 97 EAST MAIN STREET FROM THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY, LLC. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. SO THIS ORDINANCE IS RELATED TO THE MARKET STREET EXTENSION PROJECT, ONE OF THE MOST COMPLICATED ASPECTS OF THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN FIGURING OUT VEHICULAR ACCESS, PARKING, ACCESS TO THE METHODIST CHURCH AND THE NORTHWEST EYE SURGEONS. ALL WITHIN THE VICINITY OF THE THIRD STREET AND 62 INTERSECTION, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS WORKED REALLY CLOSELY AND FOR A LONG TIME, AND I THINK THERE'S A MAP ON THE NEXT SLIDE COULD ADVANCE THAT WITH BOTH THE CHURCH AND THE EYE SURGEON AND THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY, AND HAVE COME UP WITH A SOLUTION THAT REALLY IMPROVES SAFETY, ALLOWS ACCESS IN THE PARKING LOT. THOSE ORGANIZATIONS AND BUSINESSES NEED. SO THE EXISTING DRIVE, AN EXISTING DRIVEWAY WILL BE RELOCATED IN. THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY HAS AGREED TO DEDICATE AND DEED TO THE CITY A PORTION OF A PARCEL THAT THEY OWN THERE TO ALLOW FOR A RELOCATED DRIVEWAY THAT WILL FACILITATE ACCESS TO THE EYE SURGEON AND TO THE CHURCH, AND MAKE THE INTERSECTION OF THIRD STREET AND 62 SAFER. SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS ORDINANCE IS FOR COUNCIL TO ACCEPT THE LAND DESCRIBED IN THE LIMITED WARRANTY DEED FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS DRIVEWAY RELOCATION. IT IS ATTACHED TO THE ORDINANCE AND IS SHOWN ON THE MAP IN EXHIBIT B. THIS ORDINANCE MAY BE SET FOR SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AT YOUR NEXT MEETING ON NOVEMBER FIFTH. SO THE EXISTING THAT EXISTING CUTOUT CUT CURB CUT IS GOING TO GO AWAY. ASSUMING THERE IS AN EXISTING CURB CUT THAT WILL GO AWAY AND IT WILL BE RELOCATED NORTH TO WHERE THAT ORANGE HATCHED AREA IS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE? WE'LL SET THAT FOR SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING IN OUR MEETING ON NOVEMBER 5TH. ORDINANCE. OH 40 2024 AN ORDINANCE TO ACCEPT THE LIMITED WARRANTY DEED FOR THE PARCEL, KNOWN. AS 222-004343-00222-000070. OR DASH ZERO ZERO AND 222-000092. DASH ZERO ZERO 21 EAST GRANVILLE STREET FROM THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY, LLC. MISTER JOHN. YES. THANK YOU. SO THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS PIECE OF LEGISLATION AND THE ASPECT THAT [00:45:02] IT'S THE CITY ACCEPTING A DEED FROM THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY. FOR THIS ORDINANCE IN THE NEXT ONE, IT'S RELATED TO THREE PARCELS. IN THE WHAT WE CALL THE ROSE RUN TWO BLOCK. SO AFTER ACCEPTING THESE THREE AND THE NEXT ORDINANCE THAT ENTIRE BLOCK BETWEEN ONE DUBLIN-GRANVILLE ROAD, VILLAGE HALL ROAD 62 AND 605 WILL BE UNDER CITY CONTROL AND OWNERSHIP. AND THAT WILL ALLOW FOR THE EXTENSION OF THE ROSE RUN PARK AND THE VETERANS MEMORIAL IN THIS AREA, AND REALLY BRINGING A COMMUNITY ASSET TO THIS PART OF THE VILLAGE CENTER, LINKING MARKET STREET IN THE HISTORIC VILLAGE CENTER. THESE DEEDS HAVE ALL THE TYPICAL DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT WE'RE USED TO SEEING IN THESE TYPE OF SITUATIONS, AND WE'RE REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY'S PARTNERSHIP IN ALLOWING THIS PARK TO BE EXPANDED. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE? AND I WOULD JUST ECHO DIRECTOR JOLLY'S COMMENTS ABOUT THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY BEING, AGAIN, AN INCREDIBLE PARTNER FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO MAKING THIS DONATION TO INCREASE THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF THE PROJECT THAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR THIS AREA. WE WILL SET THIS FOR SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING IN OUR MEETING ON NOVEMBER FIFTH. ORDINANCE OH 41 2024. AN ORDINANCE TO ACCEPT THE LIMITED WARRANTY DEED FOR THE PARCELS, KNOWN AS 222-00039, DASH 00222 DASH, 00025400 AND 222-00021-00 49. EAST DUBLIN-GRANVILLE ROAD FROM THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY LLC. DIRECTOR GEORGE. SO VERY SIMILAR. BUT THIS IS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME DEVELOPMENT BLOCK, THREE DIFFERENT PARCELS. THESE ARE THE PARCELS WHERE THE DUKE AND DUCHESS GAS STATION FORMERLY WAS SITUATED. THE UNDERGROUND TANKS AND ANYTHING THAT WAS RELATED TO THE GAS STATION HAS BEEN CLEANED UP. AND WE HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THAT. AND THIS WILL KIND OF MAKE THIS PATCHWORK OF DIFFERENT PARCELS AND PUT THEM ALL UNDER CITY OWNERSHIP. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE. AND WE'LL SET THAT FOR SECOND [13. RESOLUTIONS AND PUBLIC HEARING] READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AT OUR MEETING ON NOVEMBER FIFTH. RESOLUTIONS. RESOLUTION R 47 2024.

THANKS FOR HAVING ME TONIGHT. WE DEVELOPED THE NEW ALBANY TECH PARK TO BE MAINLY FOR INTEL SUPPLIERS. IT'S ROUGHLY ALL OUR CREATIVE NAMING OF A, B, C, D, AND NOW PHASE THREE IS ROUGHLY 440 ACRES. WE DID HAVE A USER APPROACHED US ABOUT PURCHASING THE PHASE THREE, WHICH IS OUR LAST TAKEDOWN FOR THE TECH PARK, AND WE WANTED TO ADD DATA CENTERS TO THAT USE GROUP. AGAIN, THAT BUYER COULD COULD FALL OUT OF CONTRACT. BUT AGAIN, WE WANTED TO SET IT UP JUST IN PARTICULAR FOR PHASE THREE. AND SITE C, WHICH IS THE TWO SITES THAT THEY'RE INTERESTED IN. WE WILL STILL HAVE SITE A, SITE B, AND THEN THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE LAND SOUTH OF DSB. SO WE'LL HAVE 160 ACRES AVAILABLE FOR INTEL SUPPLIERS. ROUGHLY WE CAN DEVELOP 2,000,000FT■!S ON THAT REMAINING LAND. MOST SUPPLIERS THAT WE'VE TALKED TO ARE BETWEEN 20 ZERO ZERO ZERO SQUARE FEET AND 50,000FT■!S.

WE HAD A FINANCE MEETING TODAY, AND WE GOT A 100% SCORE FROM OUR CASH FEST MEETING, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A PRETTY BIG DEAL. I WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH ALL OF YOU. 100%. 100%. WOW. YEP. LET'S GO. BETHANY AND TEAM. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT REPORT? HUNDRED PERCENT. YOU JUST MOVE [15. REPORTS OF REPRESENTATIVES] ON. ALRIGHT. REPORTS OF REPRESENTATIVES. JOE, ANY UPDATE FOR MARCY? YES. THERE WAS A COMMISSION MEETING LAST WEEK. LUKE MESSINGER, WHO IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF RAPID FIVE, ADDRESSED THE COMMISSION. HE RESTATED THE RAPID FIVE MISSION, WHICH IS TO CONNECT PEOPLE WITH NATURE. AND USE GREEN CORRIDORS TO CONNECT PEOPLE, PRESERVE RURAL CHARACTER AND NATURAL HABITATS, AND EXPAND ACCESS TO NATURE. AND HE WELCOMED THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS. IN THE EVENT THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO GET PERIODIC UPDATES OR HAVE QUESTIONS OR ISSUES OF CONCERN. MARCY IS GOING TO BE HOSTING A PRESENTATION ON CYBER SECURITY FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ON OCTOBER 31ST, FROM 1:00 PM TO 2:30 P.M. THAT'LL BE AT MORPC. THEY'LL BE DISCUSSING RESOURCES FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND A DISCUSSION OF THE MOST CURRENT THREATS OR CYBER THREATS. ALSO, THEY IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR. 1:00 PM TO 2:30 P.M. I THINK WE'LL HAVE SOMEBODY IN ATTENDANCE THERE. MARCY WILL BE HOSTING REGIONAL DAY TO DAY ON FEBRUARY 5TH AT COLUMBUS STATE. THERE'LL BE MORE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE COMING WEEKS REGARDING THAT. THEY ALSO LET US KNOW THAT THERE IS A LEGISLATIVE EFFORT UNDERWAY. TO EXTEND THE OHIO PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSION INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT PROGRAM. THAT'S A GRANT AND LOAN PROGRAM. THAT'S THE OPWC PROGRAM THAT THE CITY HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS. LEGISLATION IS SUPPOSED IS EXPECTED TO BE INTRODUCED. THIS WEEK. AND IF IT'S APPROVED, THE ISSUE WOULD APPEAR ON THE BALLOT. THE REQUEST WOULD BE TO GENERATE APPROXIMATELY $250 MILLION OVER A TEN YEAR PERIOD. ALSO, COUNCIL MAY RECALL THAT WE APPLIED FOR OPWC FUNDS IN THIS IN THIS LAST ROUND OF THE CURRENT OF THE CURRENT PROGRAM. THERE IS CURRENTLY $32 MILLION AVAILABLE AND $49 MILLION HAVE BEEN REQUESTED. SO WE SHOULD GET WORD FROM OPWC ABOUT THE STATUS OF OUR APPLICATION BY THE END OF THIS YEAR. FIRST OF NEXT YEAR. TWO MORE ITEMS. MARCY IS GOING TO BE PARTICIPATING IN A SERIES OF PASSENGER RAIL MEETINGS WITH OTHER REGIONS. THROUGH THE END OF THIS YEAR. THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE HELD ON OCTOBER 31ST IN FORT WAYNE, AND THEN FINALLY THEY RECENTLY HAD THE OHIO COMMUTER CHALLENGE. MORPC AND CENTRAL OHIO PARTICIPATED IN THAT, AND THEY EXPERIENCED A 90% INCREASE IN PARTICIPATION AMONG CENTRAL OHIO RESIDENTS. SO ALL [00:55:07] RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE UPDATE? ALL RIGHT. JOINT PARKS AND REC. YEP. I HAVE A COUPLE THINGS HERE FOR YOU. I JUST HAD A MEETING LAST MONDAY. FIRST AND FOREMOST, JUST AS A REMINDER, THE GROUNDBREAKING WILL BE ON OCTOBER 28TH, 2 P.M. FOR THE NEW REC CENTER. BACK UP DATE WILL BE THE 29TH THE VERY NEXT DAY. IN CASE WE HAVE SOME RAIN. WHEN YOU GO ON, WHEN YOU GO OUT THERE, PARKING WILL BE NEXT TO THE BASKETBALL COURT, AND THEN YOU'LL WALK ACROSS THE STREET. YOU'LL SEE KIND OF A GUIDED PATH TO THE TENT. AND WHERE YOU'LL KIND OF GO ON IN THERE. IF YOU CAN RSVP FOR THAT, THAT'LL HELP THEM WITH THE NUMBERS. SO THAT'D BE HELPFUL. ALSO THERE EXPLORE SOFTWARE PACKAGE FOR REGISTRATION IS NOW UP AND RUNNING. IT WAS LIVE LAST MONTH. THEY GOT A LITTLE OVER 1200 PROFILES. SO IF YOU'RE EVER GOING TO USE ANY TYPES OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION ACTIVITIES, WHICH I WOULD THINK MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY WILL, ESPECIALLY WITH THE REC CENTER UP AND COMING, YOU'LL NEED TO CREATE A PROFILE AS A REMINDER IN THIS NEW SOFTWARE. ALSO, THEY ARE REQUESTING QUOTES. THEY'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PUT AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM IN IN THE GREEN ZONE. SO THAT WILL BE BID OUT. AND THAT'LL BE FOR NEXT YEAR. AND THEN FINALLY SPEAKING ABOUT THE REC CENTER, THEY'RE LOOKING TO START DIGGING IN DECEMBER. IT IS A 19 TO 20 MONTH PROJECT. SO THAT'LL PUT IT RIGHT AROUND THAT THIRD MAYBE BEGINNING OF THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2026 FOR POTENTIAL OPENING. AS FAR AS A BUDGET WISE, THEY WERE SLIGHTLY OVER BUDGET THROUGH SOME VALUE ENGINEERING. THEY GOT THAT DOWN PRETTY MUCH TO ABOUT ZERO. IT'S ABOUT 55,000. IS THE DIFFERENCE ON $46 MILLION. SO IT'S A PRETTY GOOD JOB ON GETTING THAT DOWN. HOWEVER WITH THE SANITARY MAIN EXTENSION AND THE WATER CONDITIONING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO NEED TO DO NOW, WHICH IS GOOD NEWS THAT THEY'LL HAVE THAT. THEY'RE OVER THAT AGAIN. BUT THEY'RE THINKING ONCE THEY BID OUT THE PROJECT AND EVERYTHING WILL PROBABLY HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO COME WITHIN THAT AS WELL. SO GOOD FINANCIAL, FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ON THEIR PART AND THEIR PARTNERS WHO THEY'RE WORKING WITH TO MAKE SURE THEY STAY WITHIN BUDGET DESPITE SOME OF THE DELAYS, UNFORTUNATELY, THAT THEY'VE HAD WITH THIS PROJECT. SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING IS READY TO GO NOW. GREAT. THAT'S A WONDERFUL UPDATE. THANK YOU. YEAH. ALRIGHT. ANY UPDATE FROM NEW ALBANY SCHOOLS? I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTED ON THE LAST MEETING. I DO KNOW THAT THEY RECENTLY HAD A MEETING DISCUSSING THEIR FIVE OUT OF FIVE RATING RECENTLY. ON THEIR REPORT CARD. AND I'M SURE WE CAN SHARE MORE AT THE NEXT MEETING. ALL RIGHT. AND ANY UPDATE FROM THE TOWNSHIP? ANY MR. DIRKSON HERE? I DID NOT VIEW THEIR LAST [16. REPORTS OF CITY OFFICIALS] MEETING, SO I DON'T HAVE AN UPDATE ON THAT EITHER. I GUESS WE'LL JUST WAIT FOR MR. DURK'S RETURN AS WELL. YEAH. GREAT. ALL RIGHT. REPORTS OF CITY OFFICIALS, THE CENTRAL OHIO MAYORS AND MANAGERS ASSOCIATION HAD A MEETING ON THE FIRST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH. IT WAS HOSTED BY OUR REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNER, ONE COLUMBUS, AND WE HAD THREE CEOS THERE ADDRESSING THE MAYORS, THE CEO FROM OHIO HEALTH. AM I HOLMES AND KEYBANK. TALKING ABOUT A VARIETY OF THINGS WORKFORCE ISSUES, HOUSING ISSUE, TRANSPORTATION, THE TYPICAL ISSUES THAT ARE CONCERNING THE REGION AND JUST IT'S GOOD TO HEAR FROM THE CEO PERSPECTIVE ABOUT HOW THE REGION IS PERFORMING. THINGS WE CAN WORK ON TOGETHER TO IMPROVE AND HOW THEY'RE EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD TO HEAR FROM THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY THAT THINGS ARE LOOKING WELL. BUT THERE'S STILL SOME THINGS WE NEED TO WORK ON TO MAKE SURE THE REGION REMAINS STRONG. ANY UPDATE FROM THE CLERK? THERE IS A VACANCY ON THE MCCOY BOARD, AS ONE OF THE CITY REPRESENTATIVES HAS REACHED THEIR THREE YEAR OR SORRY THREE TERM MAXIMUM. I WANT TO CONFIRM WITH COUNCIL THAT WE GO THE USUAL ROUTE OF ADVERTISING, PULLING IN APPLICATIONS AND REVIEWING THEM AND APPOINTING SOMEONE NEW. THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO GET SOMEONE IN BY THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. THE MCCOY. MCCOY. OKAY. YEAH. YEAH. SOUNDS GOOD. IF THAT'S GOOD. ALSO REMINDING YOU ABOUT THE UPCOMING EVENTS. WE'VE HEARD A GOOD BIT ABOUT DIWALI ON OCTOBER 26TH. ALSO, THE VETERANS DAY CELEBRATION ON NOVEMBER 8TH AND THE SENIOR CONNECTIONS HOLIDAY LUNCHEON ON DECEMBER 10TH. YOU SHOULD HAVE AN EMAIL ABOUT ALL THREE OF THOSE, AND WE EMPHASIZE [01:00:01] TO ME AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS ADMINISTRATOR BROOKS EMPHASIZED. RSVP IN PARTICULAR FOR THOSE LAST TWO, AS THEY'RE AT THE NEW ALBANY COUNTRY CLUB. YOU GOTTA HOLD YOUR SPOT, MAYBE BUY YOU A MEAL. SO PLEASE GET THOSE RSVP TO HER. AND THEN AS A FINAL REMINDER, ALSO, YOU'VE RECEIVED AN INVITATION TO THE ED FOR ONE ONE THAT HAPPENS EACH YEAR. THIS ONE'S ON DECEMBER SIX IN THE DOWNTOWN COLUMBUS HYATT. WE SENT YOU THE LINK THAT YOU CAN REGISTER YOURSELF, BUT YOU'RE HAVING ANY DIFFICULTIES. REACH OUT TO ME OR ALICE AND WE'LL GET YOU IN. AND THAT WILL NOT BE A COST. WE. THERE'S A DISCOUNT CODE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS IF YOU COME TO THE DIWALI CELEBRATION, THAT THIS YEAR IT'S AT THE AMPHITHEATER, NOT UP ON THE BRIDGE. SO, YES, IF YOU COME RUNNING OVER TO BE THERE, DON'T RUN TO THE WRONG PLACE. YEAH. GOTTA BE READY FOR THAT CROWD. YEAH, I THINK IT WOULD BE A BIG CROWD. AND THAT'S IT FOR THE CROWD. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. CLARK. MASON. ANY UPDATE FROM THE FINANCE DIRECTOR? YES, I DID HAND OUT AUGUST REPORT. JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW. 67% OF THE YEAR HAS BEEN COMPLETE AS OF THIS REPORT. INCOME TAX IS HAS INCREASED. I WOULD SAY THAT WITHHOLDING HAS INCREASED THE MOST. AND THAT'S DUE TO CONSTRUCTION AND GENERAL BUSINESS PARK REVENUE COMING IN. WE'RE STILL COMPLETING THAT ANALYSIS THE NEXT REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER, YOU'LL SEE AN UPDATED PROJECTION FOR THAT WITHIN THE GENERAL FUND INCOME TAXES AT THE TOP TO COMPARE IT TO EXPENSES ARE DOWN COMPARED TO THE BUDGET. SO WE'VE ONLY SPENT ABOUT 49% OF THE BUDGET AS OF AUGUST. AND WHICH IS AN INCREASE. BUT IT WAS AN INCREASE THAT WE ANTICIPATED FOR 2020, 2024. MY BRAIN IS ON 2025 RIGHT NOW. I APOLOGIZE. THE NEXT PAGE IS JUST OUR OVERALL INVESTMENTS FOR THE ACTIVITY FOR AUGUST. TOTAL BALANCES THAT WERE REPORTED AT THE END OF AUGUST WAS $222.9 MILLION, AND THAT INCLUDES OUR STATE INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT FUNDS FOR THOSE PROJECTS. THE NEXT PAGE SHOWS THE SNAPSHOT OF ALL OF OUR US BANK CUSTODY ACCOUNTS AND THE DIFFERENT SEGMENTS THAT WE HAVE IT BROKEN INTO. WE HAVE OUR GENERAL PORTFOLIO. THE INFRASTRUCTURE REPLACEMENT FUND THAT WE'VE SET ASIDE, MONEY FOR FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS. AND THEN OUR STATE INFRASTRUCTURE FUND. AND WE DID HAVE OUR INVESTMENT COMMITTEE MEETING TODAY. AND THEY ARE ALSO WORKING ON HELPING ME PROJECT INTEREST FOR NEXT YEAR. WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM WITH CASH FLOWS FOR OUR CONSTRUCTION. AS FAR AS SPENDING DOWN THE BALANCES AND WHAT PROJECTS ARE GOING TO BE UTILIZED IN THE NEXT COMING MONTHS IN RESPONSE AND ALSO ADJUSTING OUR ACCOUNTS IN RESPONSE TO OUR 100% CREDIT RATING ON OUR STAR ACCOUNT, OUR CASH VEST SCORE TO ENSURE THAT WE KEEP THAT. THE LAST PAGE IS JUST THE PICTURE OF THE ACTIVITY OF EACH FUND. CASH BALANCES FOR THE YEAR. ALL RIGHT. LOOKS LIKE THINGS ARE GOING WELL. ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? ON THE UPDATE FROM THE CITY MANAGER. JUST ONE ITEM. AS I MENTIONED IN AN EMAIL THAT I SENT OUT THIS AFTERNOON, THE CITY PUT THE MARKET STREET EXTENSION PROJECT OUT TO BID SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. THE WE RECEIVED FOUR BIDS. THE LOWEST AND BEST BID WAS FROM COMPLETE GENERAL AND IT WAS REVIEWED BY OUR STAFF AND ENGINEER AND DETERMINED TO BE IN ORDER. THE ONLY THE ONLY CHALLENGE WITH IT IS THAT THE PRICES WERE APPROXIMATELY 15% ABOVE THE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE. AND THERE'S A PROVISION IN THE CODIFIED ORDINANCES THAT SAYS THAT IF THE PRICE EXCEEDS 10% OR IS 10% OR MORE ABOVE THE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE, COUNCIL MAY REJECT THE BIDS AND REBID THE PROJECT. WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS THAT WE HAVE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IN PLACE WITH THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY THAT PROTECTS THE CITY FROM FROM INCREASES IN CONSTRUCTION COSTS RELATED TO THE TIMING OF THE PROJECT. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, AND WE FINALLY COME UP WITH A DESIGN THAT WE THINK IS EXCEPTIONAL AND SHOULD BE AN [01:05:04] ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY. SO WITH THE UNDERWRITING OF THAT ADDITIONAL EXPENSE BY THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY, THE TOTAL IMPACT FOR THE CITY IS ROUGHLY 2 TO 3%, AND THAT 2 TO 3, 2 TO 3% DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN THE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE AND THE AND THE BID THAT TWO OF THE 3% ACTUALLY APPLIES TO AN AREA THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE ORIGINAL MARKET STREET EXTENSION PROJECT AREA. IT'S AN AREA THAT'S BETWEEN THIS THIS PROJECT AREA AND THE FIRE STATION. SO RATHER THAN HAVE A AN UNDEVELOPED OR UNIMPROVED GAP BETWEEN THIS PHASE AND THE PRIOR PHASE OF ROAD IMPROVEMENTS, WE INCLUDED THIS SO THAT 2 TO 3% REFLECTS THE ADDITIONAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, WITH THAT PART OF THE PROJECT. SO SINCE THIS IS KIND OF A UNIQUE SITUATION, IF COUNCIL WOULD BE WILLING, I'D LIKE TO GET A MOTION APPROVED TO AUTHORIZE ME TO ENTER INTO THIS CONTRACT. OKAY. SO THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY IS JUST OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF WHAT OUR ORIGINAL PLAN WAS FOR MARKET STREET EXTENSION. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IN THE FUTURE. WE'RE JUST CHOOSING TO DO THAT NOW WITH THIS PROJECT. CORRECT? YES. AND WE DID INCLUDE IT WITH THE BID DOCUMENTS AND WE RECEIVED THE PRICE CONSISTENT WITH THE REST OF THE PROJECT. OKAY. SO HOW DO YOU WANT THE MOTION TO READ, JOE? A MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH COMPLETE GENERAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MARKET STREET EXTENSION PROJECT. SO MOVED. SO MOVED. I HAVE SAID IT FIRST. THANK YOU. JEFF. HOW ABOUT THAT? TO SET HIM UP. OKAY, SO THAT WAS COUNCIL MEMBER BRUCE. YES. AND COUNCIL MEMBER SHAW. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER BRISK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER SHAW. YES. MAYOR. SPALDING. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WELCH. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. FELLOWS. YES. FIVE YES. VOTES ON THE MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO CONTRACT WITH. COMPLETE GENERAL FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE MARKET STREET PROJECT. CLOSE ENOUGH. AS AS MOVED BY COUNCIL MEMBER. THAT'S WHAT I SAID, ISN'T IT? EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID. THAT WHAT I SAID. IT'S ON THE RECORD. THANK YOU. CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THOSE MINUTES. WHEN YOU GET THEM. NEXT TIME. YOU'RE WELCOME. APPRECIATE. THIS IS A COMPLICATED PROJECT THAT CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE DIFFICULTY OF THE CITY ENGINEER AND TRYING TO ESTIMATE THE COSTS. CONSTRUCTION IS NOT GETTING ANY CHEAPER. HOPEFULLY INFLATION STABILIZES IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND THINGS WILL RETURN TO WHATEVER THE NEW NORMAL IS. BUT THIS BEING ABOVE THE THRESHOLD, I STILL THINK IT'S A GOOD VALUE FOR THE CITY AND JUST SPEAKING FRANKLY, I'VE BEEN SUPER IMPRESSED WITH THAT CONTRACTOR AND THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE IN THE COMMUNITY IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, AND TO HAVE THEM WIN THE BID. I MEAN, THEY THEY STILL HAD TO BE COMPETITIVE ON PRICE, OF COURSE, BUT THE QUALITY IS CERTAINLY BEEN THERE. SO LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW THEY CAN PERFORM AND WHAT'S GOING TO BE A CHALLENGING PROJECT. ALRIGHT. ANY UPDATE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY? NOTHING TO ADD. ALL RIGHT. CALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO ADDRESS COUNCIL REGARDING A MATTER. WE DISCUSSED THIS EVENING. RON KENDALL, THANK YOU FOR STICKING IT OUT WITH US [18. POLL FOR COUNCIL COMMENT] ALL NIGHT. GOOD TO SEE YOU, SIR. HEY, PULL FOR COUNCIL COMMENT. ANY ADDITIONAL COUNCIL COMMENT? FOR DIRECTOR BARKER. I DID INCLUDE A I DID INCLUDE SLIDES OF THE SNOWPLOW RODEO, WHICH WERE FUN PICTURES.

MAYBE WE'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW HIM HOT STUFF. THAT'S [Additional Item] RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING. WE NEED TO THROW THE GANTLET DOWN. ALRIGHT, WE HAVE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION. I WOULD MOVE THAT. WE ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION PURSUANT TO REVISED CODE ONE 21.22 G2. TO CONSIDER THE PURCHASE OF PROPERTY FOR PUBLIC PURPOSE.
