[00:00:05]

ALL RIGHT. WE ARE PUSHING SOUND, MAYOR. WHENEVER YOU'RE READY. GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND

[1. CALL TO ORDER]

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. CLERK. MASON.

THE ROLL, PLEASE. AND IF COUNCIL WILL TURN ON THEIR MICROPHONES. MAYOR. SPALDING. HERE. COUNCIL MEMBER. BRISK. HERE. COUNCIL MEMBER. DEREK. HERE. COUNCIL MEMBER. FELLOWS. HERE. COUNCIL MEMBER. KISS. HERE. COUNCIL MEMBER. SCHELL. HERE. COUNCIL MEMBER. WILTROUT. HERE. I HAVE

[4. ACTION ON MINUTES]

[5. ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS TO THE AGENDA]

[6. HEARING OF VISITORS]

RESPECTFULLY, CRAB. SO WITH THAT SAID, I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO SHOW YOU THE PICTURES. THE TWO, THE TOP PHOTO AND THE ONE TO THE RIGHT. THAT IS JUST ESSENTIALLY MAPLEWOOD CEMETERY AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. AND, JENNIFER, WERE YOU ABLE TO DO THE ONE AND THIS IS THE CURRENT WAGNER CEMETERY.

THE IRON FENCING. ONE OF OUR MEMBERS NOTICED THAT THAT FENCING IS JUST SITTING OUTSIDE OF THE NATATORIUM AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. SO WE'RE NOT QUITE SURE IF THAT'S EXTRA OR AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROJECT. WE WERE TRYING TO THINK OF WAYS TO MAKE IT ECONOMICAL. AGAIN, I'M NOT CONVINCED THAT WE NEED TO HAVE THE WHOLE ENTIRE CEMETERY ENCLOSED. I THINK OUR BOARD WOULD BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE FRONT ENTRANCE OF IT LOOKING MUCH LIKE MAPLEWOOD. YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING. BUT WAIT, CRAB, YOU HAVE ANOTHER CEMETERY? WE DO RIGHT BACK HERE. AND WE

[00:05:07]

THAT'S CERTAINLY BETTER THAN WHAT WAS THERE. I'M FINE. I'M GOOD. GOOD, GOOD. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OH. GO AHEAD. I'LL WAIT TILL THE END. IF YOU'RE. ARE YOU STILL. I JUST WANT TO THANK A COUPLE PEOPLE. SO IF YOU WANT TO KNOW. SO I, I MEAN, I ACTUALLY THINK THE CONCEPT OF. AND TO YOUR POINT, I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO DO ALL FOUR SIDES, BUT, YOU KNOW, THE FRONTAGE ON CENTRAL COLLEGE TO DISTINGUISH IT FROM YOU KNOW, JUST THE REST OF THE, THE BREAK THERE KIND OF SIMILAR TO MAPLEWOOD. SO I WOULD ENTERTAIN IT I GUESS THE QUESTION BECOMES IS HOW MUCH. AND YOU KNOW, THE, THE VERSIONS WHETHER WE DO ALL OF IT JUST THE FRONTAGE AND THEN ENTERTAIN IT. SO IN OUR WORLD WE THOUGHT, LET'S COME TALK TO YOU, SEE IF YOU'RE INTERESTED. AND IF YOU ARE, WE DID BRING UP THE IDEA OF UTILIZING POTENTIALLY EXTRA MATERIAL. OBVIOUSLY I BET THERE'S SOME BRICK LAYING AROUND HERE, BUT PERHAPS I ALSO HAVE A COUNCIL IS INTERESTED. THIS IS THE QUOTE THAT CITY MANAGER STEFANOFF OBTAINED IN 2020 TO SURROUND THE WHOLE THING AT THE TIME. JUST LOOKED INTO IT. OKAY, I CAN PASS THAT AROUND. IT WAS 38,000 A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO TO ENTIRELY DO IT. OKAY. IF YOU THINK 40,000, MAYBE IT WOULD BE 10 TO 12, MAYBE FOR JUST THE FRONT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE BRICK. I DON'T BELIEVE SO. IT'S JUST THAT WAS JUST THE WROUGHT IRON. AND THAT WAS LIKE THAT WAS LIKE PRE COVID. I REMEMBER AT THE TIME TO GIVE YOU A FRAMEWORK. THIS IS ACTUALLY 2020. YEAH. YEAH. SO PRE-COVID AS I SAID IT WAS A PRE-COVID RIGHT. YEAH. BECAUSE I REMEMBER US TALKING ABOUT IT AT THE TIME AND FEELING LIKE I THINK I JUST LIKE TO INDICATE THAT WE'RE VERY FLEXIBLE GROUP OF PEOPLE. IT'S JUST THERE'S A RESPECT LEVEL THAT WE THINK IS UNDERSTOOD, CONSIDERING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE. AND WE ARE ALSO THIS PARTICULAR CEMETERY IS ALSO BEING REPAIRED. SO PHASE TWO OF THAT IS COMING IN 2025, AND WE'RE WORKING ON PROPER LIGHTING OF THE AMERICAN FLAG TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS PROPERLY DONE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A LITTLE MAKESHIFT THING GOING AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT ANYMORE. SO FLAGPOLE LIGHTING AND ALL THAT APPROPRIATE WORK, WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT, AND WE'RE WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S APPROPRIATE IN THE BOARD, AS WE'RE TASKED WITH. SO IS THAT SOMETHING YOU THINK YOU'LL LIKELY COME BACK TO US AS PART OF THE REQUEST? DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING THAT ON YOUR OWN? I THINK WE HAVE A SOLUTION. WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE IT'S BRIGHT ENOUGH. OKAY. AND ARE OUR REPAIRS COMPLETE NOW? THE REPAIRS ARE NOT COMPLETE. NO. THERE'S, LIKE, ONE HUMAN IN THE UNIVERSE, APPARENTLY. WHO DOES? YEAH, I KNOW. I KNOW, I KNOW. I REMEMBER THAT BECAUSE I ACTUALLY WENT OUT ONE TIME AND DID THE TOUR WITH HIM WHEN HE WAS SHOWING EVERYBODY FROM CRAB ABOUT IT. IT WAS FASCINATING.

AND HE'S DOING AMAZING STUFF. BUT I GUESS IN MY MIND, AS WE WERE SAYING, THIS WAS PARTIALLY BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE UNTIL WE FINISHED THE WHOLE PROJECT, WHICH IS WHY I'M ALSO ASKING ABOUT IS THE FLAG AND THE LIGHTING. DO WE WANT TO DO YOU KNOW, PRICE OF THE WHOLE THING OUT AND DO A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO IT, TO BRING THAT BACK TO THE BOARD AND MAKE SURE WE DID DISCUSS A SOLUTION? RIGHT NOW THERE'S LIKE A TOP DOWN LIGHT, AND THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. AND SO WE'RE WORKING WITH PARKS AND REC, I BELIEVE. PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. THE

[00:10:01]

YEAH. I MEAN, I THINK I THINK WE SHOULD PUT EVERYTHING ON HOLD WHILE WE WERE EVALUATING THE CEMETERY. THE FOUNDER CEMETERY BEHIND VILLAGE HALL. AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT TOOK LONGER THAN ALL OF US ANTICIPATED. I WON'T SAY WE FORGOT ABOUT THIS PROJECT, BUT IT JUST IT IT WAS IT GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE OTHER CONVERSATION. SO THANKS FOR BRINGING IT BACK TO OUR ATTENTION AND SAYING, HEY, THIS. YOU KNOW, WE STILL NEED TO FIX THIS ISSUE. SO I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU, ANDREW. LET'S LET'S GET A QUOTE, AT LEAST FOR THOSE TWO PROPOSED STRUCTURES AND FENCING ALONG CENTRAL COLLEGE. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

AND THROWING THE THROWING THE FLAGPOLE TOO, JUST FOR. YEAH. YEAH. YEAH. I THINK WE SHOULD BECAUSE. YEAH. I MEAN, ON ELECTION NIGHT. COME ON. I'M COMING TO YOU WITH THE RIGHT STUFF. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT. AND I STILL WANT TO KNOW, IS THAT THE RIGHT SPELLING? BECAUSE. JENNIFER, I'M SO CONFUSED. WE HAVE SEEN IT. SO MANY. RIGHT. AND WAGNER. WE PICKED WAGNER TOO. OKAY. AND THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT WAYS. YEAH. AND JUST WHERE I WAS GOING, I WANT TO THANK CARRIE O'DONNELL FROM MY FRANKLINTON CHAPTER. SHE'S THE HISTORIAN AND REGISTRAR. SHE HAS DONATED HER EXPERTISE AND HER TIME IN ASSISTING US WITH IDENTIFYING ALL THE PATRIOTS IN ALL OF OUR CEMETERIES. WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA, MAKING SURE THAT WE PURCHASED WREATHS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE IDENTIFIED AND RECOGNIZED.

I'LL BE DOING THAT WITH THE GROUP. RIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING. AND THEN FINALLY, BEFORE I STEP OUT OF HERE, I DO NEED TO THANK JENNIFER MASON. SHE'S OUTSTANDING. SHE HAS MADE THIS THE EASIEST BOARD POSITION I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. AND IT'S JUST A PLEASURE EVERY DAY.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO GO AHEAD AND GET US SOME QUOTES AND WE MEET IN THAT LITTLE ROOM OVER THERE. IF YOU EVER WANT TO COME SEE US.

YEAH. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. THANKS FOR THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. YOU CAN COME ALL THE WAY ON CRUTCHES. THIS IS DEDICATION. BEFORE WE MOVE ON, WE'RE STILL UNDER HEARING AND VISITORS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NO MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS A MATTER TO COUNCIL. NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA. ALL RIGHT. AND, OF COURSE, IF YOU WERE HERE JUST FOR ONE THING, AND YOU WANT TO GO HOME AND WATCH THE ELECTION RESULTS, YOU'RE FREE TO. YOU'RE FREE TO GO. NO. OR WATCH OR WATCH A MOVIE OR HAVE A DRINK.

[7. BOARD/COMMISSION REPORTS]

THE MEMBERS WHO VOTED AGAINST IT THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS THE DUNCAN FACTORS WERE NOT SATISFIED. THERE WAS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE VARIANCE. IF THEY DIDN'T INCLUDE BOTH THE POOL HOUSE AND GARAGE. WE THEN HAD THE INFORMAL REVIEW OF SECTION 30, THE NEW ALBANY COUNTRY CLUB, SECTION 30 REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THIS AS THE EAST NINE. THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WAS ZONED AND PLATTED TWO YEARS AGO. THAT WAS ZONED FOR 37 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WITH THREE DIFFERENT LOT TYPES STATE LOTS, COUNTRY CLUB HOME TYPES, AND SMALLER PATIO HOMES. THIS THE ENTIRE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS IN IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. BUT BEFORE BUILDING THE HOMES AND AFTER THE INFRASTRUCTURE, NICO WANTED TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT IT AND THEY HAVE GONE AND NOW WANT TO REZONE FROM 36 TO 40 HOMES AND CHANGE THE PLACEMENT OF SOME OF THE BIGGER LOTS. TO PUT THREE BIG ESTATE LOTS IN THE MIDDLE AND THREE ESTATES LOT ON THE EDGE. THEY WANT TO BASICALLY DIVIDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD INTO TWO SUB

[00:15:05]

SO THERE WILL BE ALSO EXTENSIVE MODIFICATIONS TO THE STORMWATER PONDS. THERE'LL BE TWO INSTEAD OF ONE. BUT I THINK THAT THE LEISURE TRAILS WILL BE EITHER INCORPORATED INTO THESE NEW DESIGNS OR A LOT OF THE LEISURE TRAILS THAT ARE IN THERE RIGHT NOW WILL BE, WILL BE MAINTAINED.

SO THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, AND FROM A REVIEW, THE I WOULD SAY THE PANEL WAS OVERALL INTERESTED IN HEARING MORE. AND THEN WE WENT OVER THE RECENT RULE CHANGES ON YOUR FACE TELLS ME YOU MIGHT HAVE QUESTIONS. DOES IT HAVE TO BE REPLANTED THEN? I MEAN, WE'RE BACK TO SQUARE ONE. IT WILL. IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'LL BE BACK TO SQUARE ONE WITH THAT. I'M CURIOUS WHY THE LOTS HAVE BEEN THERE FOR THREE YEARS. THEY HAVEN'T EVEN TRIED TO SELL ONE, AND NOW THEY WANT TO REDO THAT AND REDO THE ROADS AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE. WHY? JUST CURIOUS. YEAH. YOU KNOW, WE WENT OUT OF OUR WAY TO APPROVE ALL THIS. I UNDERSTAND, BUT WE WENT OUT OF OUR WAY TO APPROVE ALL THIS RAPIDLY. GET IT DONE, BUILD IT, PUT THE COUNTRY CLUB, YOU KNOW, AND DISRUPTION WHILE RE REALIGN THE FAIRWAYS AND EVERYTHING. AND THEY'VE SAT THERE TO MY KNOWLEDGE NONE HAS BEEN MARKETED. THAT'S RIGHT. SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF LOTS AND CHANGE THE ROAD STRUCTURE. AND I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAVEN'T EVEN DONE WHAT YOU SAID YOU WOULD DO THE FIRST TIME. WELL, IN FAIRNESS, COUNCILMAN DEREK, WE DID DO WHAT WE SAID THE LAST TIME WE ZONED THE PROPERTY WAS ORIGINALLY ZONED FOR 88 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. WE CAME IN SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND REZONED THE PROJECT TO ALLOW FOR 36 OR 37. I CAN'T REMEMBER. BUILT THE. BUILT THE SUBDIVISION. NEVER RELEASED THE LOTS. RIGHT, RIGHT. THE. WE HAVE THE GOLF COURSE, BUILT THE SUBDIVISION, BUILT THE INFRASTRUCTURE. AND FRANKLY, THE OUR COMPANY WAS FOCUSED ON A SERIES OF OTHER PROJECTS, NOT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. THE MAJORITY, VAST MAJORITY OF OUR TIME HAS BEEN SPENT IN THE BUSINESS CAMPUS AND SEVERAL OTHER PROJECTS AROUND THE COMMUNITY THAT OUR STAFF HAS BEEN HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON. DURING THAT TIME, THERE WAS A REEVALUATION OF THAT LIGHTING SCHEME IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN ITS ENTIRETY. WE HAVE A PROPOSAL THAT'S NOW JUST STARTING WITH PUBLIC REVIEW PROCESS THAT WOULD INCREASE THE NUMBER OF LOTS FROM 36, I BELIEVE, TO 40. WE HAVE BEEN BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION INFORMALLY GOT SOME QUESTIONS, CONCERNS THAT WE WILL GO BACK TO THEM. I BELIEVE IT'S ON THE 18TH OF THIS MONTH AND GO THROUGH THE ZONING AND PLANNING PROCESS. ULTIMATELY, THAT WILL COME BEFORE CITY COUNCIL FOR ENDORSEMENT OR NOT. WE'VE ALSO BEEN TO THE PARKS AND TRAILS COMMISSION TO REVIEW THE PROJECT WITH THEM AS WELL. IT IS IN OUR OPINION, AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BE MORE SIGNIFICANT. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE INSTALLED WILL BE MODIFIED AND INCREASED IN SIZE AND SCALE AND QUALITY, INCLUDING THE EXISTING POND ON THE GOLF COURSE ON THE NORTHERN EDGE. THAT POND HAS BEEN THERE FOR DECADES, WILL BE ONE OF THE PART OF THE PROPOSAL THAT IS BEING EVALUATED IS DREDGING THAT POND AND ELIMINATING THE CATTAILS, REPLANTING AND THE LIKE. THERE'S AN EXISTING STORMWATER BASIN THAT WOULD BE MOVED UNDER THIS SCENARIO. THERE'S A LIGHTING SCHEME DOWN IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE A TOTAL OF TEN LOTS, SOME OF WHICH WOULD BE ATTACHED MORE LIKE EDGE OF WOODS OR SESSIONS VILLAGE. SO THERE ARE A WHOLE SERIES OF THINGS THAT WILL REQUIRE LOTS OF INPUT AND COMMUNICATION FROM MANY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS BEFORE IT GETS TO THIS BOARD. I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION. BUT WE BELIEVE IT IS A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT FROM WHAT EXISTS TODAY. BUT IT'LL CERTAINLY BE HERE BEFORE THIS COMMISSION. I SUSPECT, IN DECEMBER, MAYBE DEPENDING ON IF WE GET POSITIVE VOTES AS WE GO THROUGH THE VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. HEY, TOM, I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THE MEETING YET, SO I APOLOGIZE IF THIS WAS COVERED PLANNING COMMISSION IS THE JUST GENERAL QUESTION. ARE THE ARE THE HOMES THAT ARE GOING TO BE ARE PROPOSED TO BE BUILT? ARE THEY VERY SIMILAR IN SIZE AND SQUARE FOOTAGE, OR ARE WE THINKING SOME WILL BE BIGGER IN ONE END AND MAYBE WE'LL GO TO SOME SMALLER

[00:20:01]

ARE WE GOING TO RENAME THE NEIGHBORHOOD TOO, OR. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME WE'RE PROPOSING IS BLENHEIM B L E N H E I'M IT IS WINSTON CHURCHILL'S CHILDHOOD HOME, BLENHEIM. OKAY.

IT'S IN LIKE THE COAT ON DOGS LIKE BLENHEIM, BLENHEIM PALACE. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT A DOG, BUT THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S A TRIVIA QUESTION WAITING TO BE ASKED. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU, MR. RUBY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER UPDATES FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION? THAT IS IT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, LET US KNOW WHEN THAT COMES FORWARD. WE MIGHT HAVE A PACKED HOUSE. YES, I THINK IT WILL BE THE MEETING LATER THIS MONTH. THE 14TH. I JUST MADE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT. IS

[00:25:09]

YEAH. PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR. 18. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING FROM THE PARKS AND TRAILS? THERE WAS A MEETING. AND WHAT WAS DISCUSSED LAST NIGHT WAS JUST WHAT WE DISCUSSED NOW. SO IT WAS A PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF WHAT MR. RUBY JUST DISCUSSED OR AS MANY QUESTIONS, KIND OF LIKE WE HAD.

BUT FOR NOW, WE'RE WAITING. TOM WILL COME BACK AFTER HE GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS AGAIN. ALL RIGHT. RB NO MEETING BCA WAS A MEETING AND ANDREA WAS TAKING MY PLACE FOR THAT, SO THANK YOU.

YES. SO THERE WAS A MEETING. THE THEME OF THE MEETING WAS SIGNS. WE HAD A PHARMAVITE BUILDING VARIANCE TO ALLOW A WALL SIGN TO BE 143FT■!S, WHERE CODE PERMITSA MAXIMUM OF 75FT■!S, AND THEN A VARIANCE FOR THE SIGN RELIEF TO BE HALF AN INCH, WHERE THE CODE REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF ONE INCH.

THE BOARD LOOKED AT THESE TWO VARIANCES SEPARATELY, AND THE SIZE WAS NOT A HARD. IT WAS NOT A HARD CASE FOR THEM TO MAKE. THERE WERE OTHER SIGNS THAT WERE OF SIMILAR SCALE IN THE BUSINESS PARK, AND THEY THEY ALL FELT THAT A SMALLER SIGN WOULD SEEM OUT OF SCALE. IT WAS LESS THAN 1% OF THE TOTAL FACADE. THE AND THAT JUST TO SPOIL IT THAT PASSED 5 TO 0. THE RELIEF WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. THERE WAS THE APPLICANT'S RATIONALE FOR THE CHANGE OF RELIEF WAS THAT IT WASN'T ABLE TO PROCURE THE MATERIALS FOR THE SIGN, BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO USE THE SILVERY ALUMINUM MATERIAL. A COUPLE OF THE BZA MEMBERS FELT THAT THAT WAS AN INSUFFICIENT REASON TO GRANT THE VARIANCE, BUT THE VARIANCE ENDED UP PASSING 3 TO 2. AND THEN WE ROLLED INTO A CODE SIGN REGULATIONS UPDATE TALK. OR THEY TALKED ABOUT. THEY CURRENTLY ALLOW ONE SIGN PER BUILDING. THE PROPOSED IS ONE SIGN PER BUILDING ENTRANCE WHERE THE SIGN CAN BE UP TO 1% OF THE BUILDING FACADE. SO WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PHARMAVITE SIGN WOULD HAVE HAD WOULD NOT HAVE NEEDED THE VARIANCE FOR THAT PARTICULAR PLACE. WOULD IT STILL NEED THE VARIANCE FOR THE RELIEF THOUGH, BECAUSE THERE'S STILL A MINIMUM SIGN OF ONE INCH RELIEF AND IT WILL GO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION NEXT? AND WE ALSO DISCUSSED THE NEW ATTENDANCE OF MEETINGS POLICY WITH THE MEMBER.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THE POLICY? NO QUESTIONS ON THE POLICY. EVERYONE WAS VERY RECEPTIVE.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD NO MEETING IDEA. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE HAD A MEETING SINCE, BUT WE HAD A LITTLE WE HAD A LITTLE CELEBRATION. YES. WE HAD A LITTLE PARTY WHICH WAS SO FANTASTIC. AND IT WAS ONLY AS AMAZING AS IT WAS BECAUSE OF OUR AWESOME STAFF. AND NOT JUST THE COMMUNITY EVENT STAFF, WHICH IS PHENOMENAL, BUT ALSO SO MANY PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR NEW ALBANY THAT CAME OUT AND HELPED. SO ADRIAN, DO WE HAVE DO WE HAVE A NUMBER? I KNOW IT WAS LIKE OVER I THINK IT WAS LIKE 2000 OR SOMETHING. ATTENDEES I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER. THAT WAS WHAT ALANA TOLD ME. SO BASED ON BRACELETS, SO PRELIMINARY RESULTS ARE THAT IT WAS UP 2000 PLUS ATTENDANCE. THE WEATHER WAS BEAUTIFUL, THE FIREWORKS WERE AMAZING. IT WAS A REALLY GOOD TIME. IT WAS GOOD. YEAH, LOTS OF DANCING. LOTS OF DANCING. I MEAN, IF THEY COULD GET US UP THERE DANCING, THERE WAS A LOT OF HEADS UP ON THE DANCING PART. WHAT HAD STRETCHED AND, YOU KNO, YOU COULDN'T READ THE ROOM TO GET THAT STRETCHING. YEAH, IT WAS FUN. IT WAS. IT WAS A GOOD NIGHT. AND THE FIREWORKS WERE VERY, VERY GOOD. JOE. SO WHOEVER, WHOEVER COORDINATED THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

YEAH. YEAH. SO THANK YOU TO ALL. AND THANK YOU TO OUR AMAZING SPONSORS. AND WE WILL BE MEETING AGAIN, I BELIEVE, IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, IF NOT NEXT WEEK, TO TALK ABOUT NEXT YEAR. ALL RIGHT. ANY UPDATE FROM CEMETERY RESTORATION ADVISORY BOARD? WE HAD A SUBSTANTIAL MEETING AND I'LL TRY AND GET THROUGHCKLY BECAUSE SOMF THEM YOU'VE HEARD WE DID SWEAR IN NEW MEMBER JEFFREY GASTINEAU,

[00:30:02]

THE BOARD DISCUSSED THE SOLAR FLAG LIGHT THAT IS CURRENTLY POSITIONED OVER THE US FLAG IN THE CEMETERY. BOARD MEMBERS WHO SAW IT DESCRIBED IT AS WEAK AND POSSIBLY NOT LASTING THE FULL NIGHT. THERE WAS ALSO A QUESTION ABOUT OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LIGHTING A UNITED STATES FLAG. PUBLIC SERVICES MANAGER ANGIE HOBART. SHE DOES ATTEND OUR MEETINGS ALSO. SO SHE WAS THERE TO KIND OF TAKE TAKE FEEDBACK, AND SHE'S GOING TO LOOK INTO THESE OTHER OPTIONS, ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIRECTOR ADRIAN JOLLY PRESENTED TO THE BOARD ABOUT ROSE RUN TWO, WHICH IS A MEMORIAL, AND FOUNDERS FIELD AND FOUNDERS FIELD ENCOMPASSES THE NEW ALBANY CEMETERY. AND THOSE PLANS SO FAR, THE BOARD WAS PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN KEEPING THE SPACE CONTEMPLATIVE, AND WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SURROUNDING FEATURES FOR BOTH THE CEMETERY AND THE AREA AS A WHOLE. REMEMBER, OUR DIRECTOR, JULIE, WELCOMED FEEDBACK AND SPECIFICALLY ASKED THE BOARD TO BE INVOLVED IN SIGNAGE FOR THE NEW ALBANY CEMETERY AND THEIR INPUT ON THAT. THE BOARD DISCUSSED WAGNER FENCING AS PRESENTED BY MEMBER MERCH. NOW, THE BOARD DISCUSSED THE NEW ALBANY VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL AND FUNDRAISER, WHICH IS CURRENTLY OPEN FOR DONATIONS. I GRABBED A COUPLE OF THOSE CARDS WHICH SIT IN OUR LOBBY, SIT IN OUR LOBBY, AND THEY HAVE A QR CODE AND THE LINK IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE, DENNIS CECI OF THE NEW ALBANY PLAIN TOWNSHIP HISTORICAL SOCIETY IS WORKING THAT FUNDRAISER WITH A DEDICATION PLANNED FOR NOVEMBER OF 2025. AND I UNDERSTAND THE CITY IS POSSIBLY WORKING ON HOW TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO ROSE RUN TWO. AND OH, FINALLY, THANKS TO CRAB MEMBER STOUGHTON, THE CITY'S TWO HISTORICAL CEMETERIES, CEMETERIES WAGNER AND NEW ALBANY ARE NOW LISTED ON THE WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA SITE. SO WHAT HAPPENS AT MAPLEWOOD WILL ALSO HAPPEN AT OUR TWO HISTORICAL CEMETERIES. THEY'LL HAVE WREATH PLACING CEREMONIES ON THE SAME DAY AS MAPLEWOOD, BUT AT TWO AND 3 P.M. IN THE AFTERNOON. AND MOST OF THE WREATHS FOR THOSE VETERANS HAVE ALREADY BEEN PURCHASED USING MAYOR SPALDING. SPALDING'S DISCRETIONARY ACCOUNT, WITH HIS PERMISSION AND ENCOURAGEMENT. AND IT'S POSSIBLE A FEW MORE REASONABLY NEEDED AS WE DISCOVER MORE PEOPLE AND COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND. AND THAT IS IT. FROM THE CEMETERY BOARD. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND THERE'S NO MEETING OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS COMMISSION,

[9. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARING]

THIS ORDINANCE IS RELATED TO THE MARKET STREET EXTENSION PROJECT. AND IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THAT PROJECT, THE DRIVEWAY FOR THE METHODIST CHURCH IN THE NORTHWEST, I. SURGEONS CENTER NEEDS TO BE RELOCATED. WORKING WITH NEW ALBANY COMPANY, THEY NEED TO DEDICATE A PORTION OF A PARK PARCEL THAT THEY OWN IN THIS AREA TO THE CITY TO ALLOW FOR THAT DRIVEWAY TO BE RELOCATED. THAT WILL FACILITATE THE MARKET STREET EXTENSION PROJECT AND ALLOW FOR ADEQUATE ACCESS FOR BOTH THE CHURCH AND THE NORTHWEST ICE SURGERY SURGERY CENTER. AND THIS ORDINANCE MAY BE ADOPTED THIS EVENING. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE? AND I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO MUCH APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

[10. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES]

OTHERWISE, THERE HAVE BEEN NO SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES TO THE PLAT ITSELF. THIS IS STILL A NINE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION ON 8.83 ACRES. THE PLAT ALSO DEDICATES THREE PARKLANDS OUTLINED IN RED HERE FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO AND A HALF ACRES, AND THE ROAD STUB THAT CAN PROVIDE A FUTURE CONNECTION TO THE WEST IS ALSO STILL PROVIDED. THE MAINTENANCE AND OWNERSHIP OBLIGATIONS ARE ALSO THE SAME, SO ALL OF THE PARKLAND WILL BE OWNED BY THE CITY OF NEW

[00:40:02]

WE'VE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THEM OVER THE PAST 3 TO 4 WEEKS. AND WE ACTUALLY JUST ISSUED THE CITY ISSUED PERMITS TO DEMOLISH THOSE STRUCTURES YESTERDAY. SO I SUSPECT WE'LL SEE THOSE COMING DOWN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO. YEAH. THEY'RE NOT. YEAH. THEY CUT THE GRASS. THEY HAVE PILES OF DIRT THERE AND THEY'RE NOT CUTTING THE GRASS APPROPRIATELY. SO THAT'S JUST MY OBSERVATION. IT'S NOT JUST YOURS. I'VE HEARD OTHER PEOPLE SAY IT, AND I ACTUALLY BROUGHT IT UP BEFORE. IT'S NOT.

IT'S AN EYESORE. YEAH. THEY NEED TO TAKE BETTER CARE OF IT. YEAH. PERIOD. I GUESS. ALL RIGHT, STEVEN, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. SO YOU SAID THE ONLY REALLY CHANGE THAT THEY HAVE IS ON THAT DRAINAGE EASEMENT, DO YOU THINK. AND I'M NOT AN ENGINEER, BUT I NOTICED THAT THAT DRAINAGE EASEMENT GOES INTO LOT NINE. IS THAT GOING TO BE A POTENTIAL ISSUE FOR THAT LOT WHEN YOU KNOW THEY BUILD A HOUSE OR THEY HAVE ANY OTHER THINGS THAT THEY'D LIKE TO DO IN THE BACK WITH THAT EASEMENT THERE, OR IS THERE A WAY THAT WE COULD SOMEHOW HAVE THAT EASEMENT NOT GO INTO LOT NINE AT ALL? I WOULDN'T SUSPECT IT WOULD BE AN ISSUE. SO THE DEVELOPER'S DESIGN TEAM, THEIR ENGINEERS, DESIGNED THE DRAINAGE EASEMENTS. SO THE DEVELOPERS SHOULD BE WELL AWARE OF THAT DRAINAGE EASEMENT AND THAT CONSTRAINT ON THE LOT FOR FUTURE HOMES. SO TYPICALLY IT'S AT THE OBLIGATION OF THE DEVELOPER AND THE ARCHITECT TO DESIGN AROUND THOSE EXISTING CONDITIONS. SO I WOULD HOPE AND SUSPECT IT WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE SINCE IT'S A KNOWN CONDITION ON THE LOTS THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS PUT THERE. OKAY. JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW AND THE DEVELOPER HASN'T REALLY MOVED FORWARD TO ANY, YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANT DEGREE. WE'RE GOING TO RE-APPROVE THIS. DO WE HAVE ANY SENSE OF THEIR INTENTION AND ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD IN SOME REASONABLE TIMELINE? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW THE TIMING OFFHAND, BUT I CAN CERTAINLY BRING THAT BACK FOR CITY COUNCIL. DURING THE SECOND READING. YEAH, JUST DON'T WANT TO KEEP PROVING SOMETHING IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DEVELOP IT AS AS THE PLANS ALLOW. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH THE CHANGES, ETC.

IT'S JUST THEIR INTENT. ALL RIGHT. THEN WE WILL SET THAT FOR SECOND READING AT OUR NEXT PUBLIC HEARING, OUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING ORDINANCE. OH 43 2024 AN ORDINANCE TO DECLARE THE IMPROVEMENT OF CERTAIN PARTS OF THE REAL PROPERTY, TO BE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST, EXEMPT 100% OF THAT IMPROVEMENT FROM REAL PROPERTY TAXATION REQUIRE THAT OWNER OWNERS OF THOSE PARCELS TO MAKE SERVICE PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF TAXES, PROVIDE FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE APPLICABLE PORTION OF THOSE SERVICE PAYMENTS TO THE NEW ALBANY-PLAIN LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE EASTLAND FAIRFIELD CAREER CENTER PROVIDE FOR COMPENSATION PAYMENTS FOR THE PLAIN TOWNSHIP FIRE DEPARTMENT, PROVIDE FOR THE DEPOSIT OF THE REMAINDER OF THOSE SERVICE PAYMENTS INTO A MUNICIPAL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT TAX INCREMENT EQUIVALENT FUND. SPECIFY THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS THAT DIRECTLY BENEFIT THOSE PARCELS AND APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF ONE OR MORE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING AGREEMENTS. SARAH. THANK YOU. MAYOR. THIS ORDINANCE CREATES A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT FOR THE COMMERCIALLY DESIGNATED 32.6 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES OF THE HAMLET AT SUGAR RUN AND AUTHORIZES THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO ASSOCIATED AGREEMENTS RELATED TO THE TIF DISTRICT. THE TIF IS A STATUTORY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOL CREATED TO CAPTURE THE INCREMENTAL INCREASE IN THE VALUE OF THE LAND AND THE IMPROVEMENTS TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND ASSOCIATED PUBLIC PROJECTS THAT BENEFIT THE GREATER COMMUNITY. THE TIFF IS CLASSIFIED AS NON-SCHOOL, WHICH DOES NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE NEW ALBANY PLAIN LOCAL SCHOOLS AND THE FAIRFIELD, EASTLAND, FAIRFIELD CAREER CENTERS. ADDITIONALLY, THE LEGISLATION INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL PROVISION TO REIMBURSE PLAIN TOWNSHIP FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PORTION OF THE PROPERTY TAX CAPTURED IN THE TIF, COMMONLY REFERENCED AS A NON FIRE TIP. NOTE THAT THE NON FIRE LANGUAGE WAS INADVERTENTLY MISSING FROM THE PUBLISHED LEGISLATION, BUT HAS SUBSEQUENTLY BEEN ADDED AS DISCUSSED WITH THE CITY COUNCIL. WITH THE CAPITAL PROJECTS RETREAT IN SEPTEMBER, THE DEVELOPER WILL BE REIMBURSED FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE UPGRADES AND ENHANCEMENTS FROM THE APPROVED FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND CODE REQUIREMENTS. IF THE TIP DOES NOT GENERATE THE

[00:45:06]

PAYMENTS SPECIFY THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS THAT DIRECTLY BENEFIT OR SERVE PARCELS IN THE INCENTIVE DISTRICT, AND TO APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING AGREEMENT. SIR. THANK YOU. MAYOR. THIS ORDINANCE CREATES TWO TAX INCREMENT FINANCE DISTRICTS. THE HAMLET INCENTIVE DISTRICT NUMBER ONE AND THE HAMLET INCENTIVE DISTRICT NUMBER TWO FOR THE AREA DESIGNATED AS RESIDENTIAL IN THE PROJECT KNOWN AS THE HAMLET AT SUGAR RUN. THIS IS AN INCENTIVE DISTRICT. TIFF, COMMONLY KNOWN AS A RESIDENTIAL TIFF. THE OHIO REVISED CODE REQUIRES THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, THE APPROVAL OF A DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE AREA WITH A LIST OF POTENTIAL ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE IMPACTS. THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN RESTATES THE DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES AS OUTLINED IN THE CITY'S STRATEGIC PLAN. IT FURTHER INCLUDES THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF THE PROJECT AND LIST THE ASSOCIATED IMPACTS OF THE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS LAND. THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN WAS APPROVED BY THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD ON SEPTEMBER 9TH, 2024, AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2024. THE TIFF IS CLASSIFIED AS NON-SCHOOL AGAIN WILL NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE NEW ALBANY PLAN. LOCAL SCHOOLS AND THE EASTLAND FAIRFIELD CAREER CENTER. ADDITIONALLY, THE TIF LEGISLATION INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL PROVISION REGARDING THE PLAIN TOWNSHIP FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT PORTION OF THE PROPERTY TAX CAPTURED IN THE TIFF, COMMONLY KNOWN AS A NON FIRE. NOTE THAT THIS LANGUAGE AGAIN WAS INADVERTENTLY MISSING FROM THE PUBLISHED LEGISLATION, BUT HAS SINCE SUBSEQUENTLY BEEN INCLUDED. ALSO, AS DISCUSSED BEFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL HAS HAS DISCUSSED THE CAPITAL PROJECTS AT THE CAPITAL PROJECTS RETREAT IN SEPTEMBER, THE DEVELOPER WILL BE REIMBURSED FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE UPGRADES TO THE UPGRADES AND ENHANCEMENTS FROM THE APPROVED FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND CODE REQUIREMENTS. IF THE TIFF DOES NOT GENERATE THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE NECESSARY TO COVER THE FULL COST OF THE ENHANCEMENTS, THE DEVELOPER AGAIN WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY THE BALANCE. EXAMPLES OF THOSE ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDE LANDSCAPING, STREET LIGHTING, CIVIC GREEN, AND THE SUGAR RUN STREAM. RESTORATION.

AGAIN, THIS ORDINANCE MAY BE SET FOR SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING ON NOVEMBER 19TH. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THESE TWO? TAX INCREMENT FINANCING AGREEMENTS? THERE'S TWO STEPS IN THIS ORDINANCE RIGHT. THERE'S TWO DISTRICTS, TWO DISTRICTS ONE TWO. YEAH. SO THE FIRST DISTRICT IS NORTHEAST. OH THERE WE GO. THIS IS NUMBER ONE. AND THEN THIS IS NUMBER TWO.

RESOLUTION R 49 2024 A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A 2025 HEALTH SERVICES CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY, OHIO, AND THE DISTRICT ADVISORY COUNCIL OF THE FRANKLIN COUNTY GENERAL HEALTH DISTRICT AND FRANKLIN COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH. JOE, THANK YOU, MAYOR. AS COUNCIL IS AWARE, FRANKLIN COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH HAS PROVIDED PLUMBING AND HEALTH INSPECTION SERVICES FOR THE CITY FOR MANY DECADES. YOU MAY RECALL THAT OVER THE PAST 2 OR 3 YEARS, YOU HAVEN'T ACTUALLY SEEN LEGISLATION LIKE THIS, AND THAT WAS BECAUSE SEVERAL YEARS AGO, COUNCIL INCREASED THE CITY MANAGER'S AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO CONTRACTS TO UP TO $100,000, AND THIS CONTRACT HAD BEEN UNDER $100,000 DURING THAT TIME. IT'S JUST SLIGHTLY OVER 100,000 AS PROPOSED THIS YEAR BASED, AND IT'S BASED ON OUR PER A PER CAPITA RATE, WHICH PLACES THE CONTRACT AT $113,968.80. SO THIS WOULD PROVIDE FOR HEALTH INSURANCE OR HEALTH PUBLIC HEALTH INSPECTION AND PLUMBING INSPECTION SERVICES TO THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. FOR THE 2025 CALENDAR YEAR. SO IF WE DON'T USE FRANKLIN COUNTY, DO WE HAVE TO USE FRANKLIN COUNTY? WE DON'T. WE ACTUALLY, THERE ARE ONLY TWO MUNICIPALITIES IN FRANKLIN COUNTY THAT HAVE A DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT. WORTHINGTON HAS ITS OWN HEALTH DEPARTMENT OR CONTRACTS WITH ITS OWN PUBLIC HEALTH PROVIDER. AND THE CITY OF COLUMBUS HAS ITS OWN. SEVERAL YEARS AGO, WE EXPLORED POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITY WITH LICKING COUNTY, AND BASED ON THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAD WITH LINCOLN COUNTY AND FRANKLIN COUNTY, WE DETERMINED THAT IT WOULD BE LESS EXPENSIVE TO UTILIZE FRANKLIN COUNTY. AND THEY HAVE THE INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE OF WORKING WITH THE CITY. I SPOKE TO JENNIFER CHRISLER ABOUT HER SATISFACTION WITH FRANKLIN COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH RELATIVE TO INTEL, AND A LOT OF THE OTHER INSPECTIONS THAT THEY PERFORM IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. AND SHE SAID THAT THEY WERE PERFORMING AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL.

ARE THERE ANY PRIVATE ENTITIES THAT DO THIS, OR DOES IT HAVE TO BE A PUBLIC ENTITY? NO. PRIVATE ENTITIES, TO MY KNOWLEDGE. OKAY. JUST CURIOUS. DOES IT HAVE TO BE A PUBLIC ENTITY OR CAN IT BE A DO YOU KNOW I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T KNOW OKAY. I'D BE HAPPY TO LOOK INTO THAT. I THINK IT'S JUST CURIOUS. YEAH. IT'S SOMETHING I COULD LOOK INTO PROBABLY FOR 26 MARKETPLACE IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE PUBLIC ENTITIES AND PRIVATE ENTITIES THAT CAN PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES.

I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY, BUT I'M HAPPY TO LOOK. YEAH, I KNOW ONCE FRANKLIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND THE FRANKLIN COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH DIRECTOR LEARNED THAT WE WERE EXPLORING, BUT PERHAPS USING LICKING COUNTY, THEY WERE VERY ATTENTIVE TO OUR NEEDS. YEAH. SO I THINK THEY'VE BEEN A GOOD A GOOD PARTNER, BUT IT'S GOOD TO KEEP THEIR ATTENTION A LITTLE. COMPETITION NEVER HURTS.

ALL RIGHT. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS REGARDING THE RESOLUTION? I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING RESOLUTION 49 2024? HEARING? NO PUBLIC COMMENT. WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND I WOULD MOVE FOR THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION R 49, 2024. SECOND, MR. MAYOR SPALDING. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER WILTROUT. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER.

AGAIN, THANKS FOR A COUPLE OF COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WERE ABLE TO ATTEND ON RELATIVELY SHORT NOTICE THE SORT OF RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY, IF YOU WILL, FOR THE 161 EXPANSION WITH THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND GOVERNOR DEWINE, IT'S KIND OF AMAZING THAT THAT LITERALLY WENT FROM ANNOUNCEMENT TO PEOPLE UTILIZING ALL THE ROADWAYS IN BASICALLY TWO YEARS.

ASPHALT PLANTS USUALLY ARE SHUTTING DOWN THIS TIME OF YEAR. IT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO HAVE THAT MUCH ASPHALT AVAILABLE FOR THAT TYPE OF PAVING. SO THEY'RE GOING TO CLEAN A LOT OF THAT UP WITH REPAVING, REPAVING AND STRIPING.
