          [4. ACTION ON MINUTES]
AND WILTROUT FROM TONIGHT'S MEETING. ACTION ON THE MINUTES PRIOR TO TONIGHT'S MEETING. A COPY OF THE MINUTES FROM TWO OF OUR MEETINGS. ONE THE CAPITAL PROJECT WORKSHOP FROM SEPTEMBER 17TH AND OUR REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING FROM JUNE 3RD WERE DISTRIBUTED TO COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS TO THOSE PROPOSED MINUTES? JUST AFTER DISTRIBUTION? I HAD A CLARIFICATION WITH FINANCE DIRECTOR STOTTS REGARDING PICKLEBALL BUDGETING, SPECIFICALLY ON PAGE TEN. I'M NOT LOOKING FOR MY NOTES HERE. 
          ON PAGE TEN, WE FINISHED A LINE OR ADDED A LINE ABOUT THE 2.265 MILLION WAS THE TOTAL BUDGETED AMOUNT FOR BOTH THE SOUND IMPROVEMENTS, THE RESTROOM SOLUTION AND SHADING STRUCTURE OR ENCLOSURES. SO THAT WAS ADDED TO PAGE TEN. BUT OTHER THAN THAT I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTES. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE COUNCIL MEMBER SCHOLL DIDN'T AMEND THAT TO 2.6 BILLION. SO JUST THAT'S MY ONLY QUESTION. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE CAPITAL PROJECT WORKSHOP? PROPOSED MINUTES. THEN I WOULD MOVE FOR THE ADOPTION BY CONSENSUS. ANY ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS TO THE PROPOSED MINUTES FROM OUR JUNE 3RD MEETING? I RECEIVED NO NOTES, 
          [5. ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS TO THE AGENDA]
AND I ALSO MOVE THEIR ADOPTION BY BY CONSENSUS ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS TO THE AGENDA. ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS PROPOSED BY COUNCIL OR STAFF? I HAVE RECEIVED NO REQUESTS. HEARING OF VISITORS. WE'RE NOW AT THAT POINT IN THE HEARING OR IN THE MEETING WHERE INDIVIDUALS FROM THE PUBLIC HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS COUNCIL REGARDING A MATTER NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA. ARE THERE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS COUNCIL? 
          [7. BOARD/COMMISSION REPORTS]
ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE. BOARD AND COMMISSION REPORTS. COUNCILWOMAN WILTROUT IS NOT HERE TONIGHT. IS THERE ANY UPDATE FROM PLANNING COMMISSION? I. I ATTENDED ON HER BEHALF. 
          THANK YOU FOR PLANNING COMMISSION AND WALKED IN AND GOT THIS PACKET. AND IT'S NOT REAL HAPPY WITH HER BUT BUT WE GOT THROUGH IT AND ACTUALLY IT'S RELATIVELY WE GOT THROUGH RELATIVELY UNSCATHED. THE FIRST TOPIC WAS I THINK WE'VE OFTEN CALLED IT THE EAST NINE. THE, THE, THE PLOTTED 40 SOME HOMES TO BE OVER AT LAMBTON PARK. AND THEY CAME THROUGH WITH A COUPLE OF AMENDMENTS AGAIN, WHICH IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, IT MOVED IT FROM NOW 42 TO 44 HOMES OR 40 TO 42. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH OF THOSE TWO, IT'S STILL JUST 40. IT'S STILL JUST 40. I THOUGHT THERE WAS NOW TWO MORE BECAUSE THEY DISCONNECTED A COUPLE OF HOMES FROM EACH OTHER. WASN'T THAT PART OF THE DEAL OR WAS THAT EARLIER ON? AND I WAS JUST CATCHING ONE OF THE EARLIER OKAY, SO WE'RE AT 40. YES. OKAY. WE'RE AT 40. AND THEY WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND WHAT THEY WHAT I BELIEVE IS NOW THE FINAL DESIGN. AND IT WAS ALL APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. AND IF ANYBODY WANTS TO SEE DRAWINGS AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS, IT'S RIGHT HERE AND I HAVE TO PASS ALONG. SO THAT'S WHAT TRIGGERED THE NEW ZONING POST THAT HAD BEEN AROUND EAST 90. YEAH, IT WAS FOR THE YEAH, THOSE CHANGES WAS SOME CHANGES TO DESIGN. AND I'M NOT EVEN THERE. SO YEAH, IT'S HERE. IF ANYBODY WANTS TO SEE IT THEN THE NEXT MATTER THAT CAME UP WAS LARRY CANINI IS DOING A DEVELOPMENT OF A MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING. THE SITE IS LOCATED AT THE EAST SIDE OF FOREST DRIVE, SOUTH OF JOHNSTOWN ROAD. IT'S RIGHT BESIDE THE ESTATE PARTY FACILITY OVER THERE. AND WHAT HE WAS DOING WAS TO MEDICAL BUILDINGS SIDE BY SIDE. AND ORIGINALLY THEY WERE GOING TO BE SET UP WITH KIND OF CONTIGUOUS PARKING THAT WENT AROUND AND 
          [00:05:01]
SHARED. AND AS A RESULT OF ONE OF THE USERS THAT HE HAS AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE LEARNED ABOUT SOME OF THE EASEMENTS, AND THERE'S CROSS PARKING WITH THE ESTATE, HE WANTED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES. SO HE HAS CHANGED THIS SO THAT THERE IS A CLEAR DIVISION BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS. AND THE PARKING IS NOW EXCLUSIVE FOR THE SINGLE TENANT USER THAT HE HAS, I DON'T KNOW, IN CONTRACT BUT OF INTEREST FOR AND I THINK IT WAS MAYBE THE NORTH BUILDING. I KEEP LOOKING AT YOU GUYS KEEP NODDING. SO I'M GOOD. SO FAR SO GOOD. OKAY. GIVING EXCLUSIVE PARKING TO A SINGLE MEDICAL USER. AND I THINK IT'S MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY. PLASTIC SURGEON PERSON WHO DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SHARING AND EASEMENTS AND ALL OF THAT. 
          SO BREAKING THE TWO BUILDINGS AND THEIR PARKING SEPARATELY IS I MEAN, THERE WERE A FEW OTHER THINGS, BUT THAT'S THE MAJOR GIST OF IT. AND THAT WAS ALSO APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY TO GO FORWARD, NEW BUILDINGS THAT ARE GOING. SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE TWO BRAND NEW MEDICAL BUILDINGS. 
          ONE WILL BE A SINGLE TENANT USER, THE OTHER HE HAS SPECULATIVE THAT HE WANTS TO MAKE MULTI-TENANT, AND HE'S PLANNING TO MANAGE THAT HIMSELF. SO THAT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY AND IT HAD BEEN THROUGH BEFORE. BUT IT WAS NOW CHANGING THAT PARKING. FEATURE AROUND IT. SO THE CONSTRUCTION FOR THOSE BUILDINGS WILL BE GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME. ALL THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION IS GOING ON. THEY'RE LIKELY NOT THAT IT MATTERS, BUT A LOT OF ACTIVITY THERE. YEAH, IT'S DEFINITELY FURTHER BACK. AS COUNCILWOMAN SAID, IT'S IN FRONT OF THE ESTATE, SO IT'S KIND OF TUCKED AWAY BEHIND THE HOTELS, THE HOTELS. OH OKAY. SO IT'LL BE KIND OF YEAH, IT'S OFF THE PRIVATE CIRCULAR ROAD OVER THERE BY THE ROUNDABOUT IN FRONT OF THE ESTATE. SO. OKAY, NEXT WAS AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE KNEW THIS. THIS WAS THE FIRST THAT I KNEW THIS, THAT WE'RE GETTING A GRAETER'S OVER OFF OF SMITH MILL. LET'S SEE. SMITH MILL IN FOREST RIGHT BY WHERE THE TURKEY HILL IS AND THE DAIRY QUEEN AND ALL OF THAT. WE'RE GOING TO GET A GRAETER'S ICE CREAM. I'M DOWN FOR THAT. AND SO IT'S NEVER TOO MUCH ICE CREAM FOR ME. I'M SURE IF MATT WERE HERE, HE WOULD AGREE. AND THEY WANTED A DRIVE THROUGH AND THEY HAD THEIR FINAL PLAT DEVELOPMENT AND IT WAS ALL APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. AND AGAIN, IF ANYBODY WANTS TO SEE, LET ME KNOW. I'LL PASS ALONG THE DRAWINGS FOR THAT. AND THEN THE FINAL ONE WAS A COMPANY BY THE NAME OF EDGECONNEX, WHICH IS PUTTING A BATCH PLANT. IF, IF YOU CAN RECALL, DIRECTLY ACROSS JUG STREET FROM WHERE THE INTEL SITE IS USED TO BE, WHERE I ALWAYS BOARDED MY DOGS, AND I CAN'T THINK OF THE NAME OF IT RIGHT NOW. KENNELS. YES. YES. 
          KENNEL KENNEL CLUB USA. YEAH. AND THEY, THEY'VE NOW THEY'VE NOW SOLD THE PROPERTY AND ARE LOOKING TO MOVE TO ANOTHER LOCATION. AND SO THIS COMPANY IS BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AND I DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE IS INVOLVED. WANTED TO HAVE A TEMPORARY SITE DURING THIS CONSTRUCTION PERIOD TO BE ABLE TO STAGE CONCRETE. SO I'M STILL GETTING GOOD NODS I'M GETTING THIS RIGHT TO CONCRETE POURING AND MIXING AND WHATEVER IT IS, PRODUCTION DIRECTLY THERE. SO THEY'RE NOT HAVING TO TRAVEL IT FROM FURTHER AWAY. AND THAT WAS ALSO APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. THAT'S KIND OF GOING AWAY. IT'S KIND OF USA'S KENNEL CLUB USA ACTUALLY. THEN GAVE A PRESENTATION AT THE END ABOUT A DIFFERENT LOCATION THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT. AND I DON'T I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT WAS. I CAN'T REMEMBER NOW. MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN TELL US, BUT THEY WANT TO STAY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. 
          YEAH. GOOD. THAT'S WHERE THAT'S WHERE MY DOG GOES. YEAH. 62 JUST SOUTH OF WALNUT STREET. OKAY. A COUPLE PROPERTIES THAT ARE IN THE CITY. THAT COULD BE A CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION. SO CLOSE FOR ME. SO. AND THAT WAS IT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT UPDATE. ALL RIGHT. PARKS AND TRAILS. NOPE. NO SORRY I'M THINKING ABOUT KENNEL CLUB USA. MY DOG. YEAH. 
          ALL RIGHT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIT IN FOR THE ARB MEETING ON JUNE 9TH. THERE WAS ONE ITEM FOR THE BOARD'S CONSIDERATION CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AND WAIVERS FOR A GARAGE TO BE CONSTRUCTED AT 6588 NEW ALBANY CONDIT ROAD. SO JUST THINK ON 605 KIND OF BETWEEN US AND THE FREEWAY. IT WAS TABLED THE MEETING BEFORE THE BOARD HEARD THE APPLICANTS REDESIGN, 
          [00:10:02]
BASICALLY FLIPPING THE GARAGE AROUND TO THE DOOR, FACE THE REAR. SO MORE TOWARDS WINDSOR INSTEAD OF TOWARDS THE ROADWAY. A LOT OF CONVERSATION FROM BOARD MEMBERS ABOUT SORT OF THE CHARACTER OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, IF YOU WOULD, AND THE FACT THAT THIS BARN WOULDN'T BE OUT OF PLACE WITH THE OTHER STRUCTURES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN SOME, ALSO SOME CONVERSATION AND POINTS MADE ABOUT THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THESE ZONING STANDARDS IN PLACE SO THAT WHEN THERE IS IMPROVEMENTS TO THE AREA, WE CAN SEE IMPROVEMENTS. AND SO THEY SORT OF HELD TO THEIR, YOU KNOW, THEIR STANDARD OF MAKING SURE THE ZONING WAS MET, WAS STILL TRYING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE, OF THE HOMEOWNER. SO I THINK EVERYONE LEFT MODERATELY HAPPY FROM THAT MEETING. BUT. THE CHAIR, JOHN I10, DID A NICE JOB AND EVERYTHING GOT RESOLVED. ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS I ACTUALLY ATTENDED FOR COUNCILMAN SCHALL LAST NIGHT. WE HAD TWO CASES AND OF COURSE I LEFT MY PACKET AT HOME, BUT EDGED WAS THE FIRST APPLICANT. IT WAS. THEY WERE BOTH SIGNED VARIANCES EDGE WHICH IS THE PARCEL ON NEW ALBANY ROAD EAST DIRECTLY TO THE WEST OF THE ONE BUS. POTENTIAL BUS SITE IS WHERE THEY'RE GOING. THEY WANTED TWO SIGNS ON ONE OF THE ELEVATIONS, AND THEN THE TWO OTHER SIGNS WERE BIGGER THAN WHAT WAS ALLOWABLE, I THINK 200FT■!S PER CODE. AND THEY WERE LOOKING FOR 241. SO THERE WAS A LENGTHY DISCUSSION. AND IF COUNCIL RECALLS, THERE WAS JUST AN AMENDMENT TO OUR SIGN CODE THAT WE'VE GOT THIS BRAND NEW, ALL THESE BRAND NEW REGULATIONS FOR SIGNAGE, AND WE KIND OF RUN HEAD ON RIGHT AWAY INTO THESE TWO APPLICANTS ASKING FOR BIGGER THAN WHAT IS ALLOWED BY CODE. SO ON THE MERITS OF THE FIRST ONE, THE EDGED APPLICATION. THERE'S A LOT OF NEGATIVE SPACE INVOLVED IN THEIR DESIGN AND LOGO. AND IT REALLY THE WAY THAT THE SIGN FRONTAGE IS CALCULATED WAS KIND OF IT HURT THE SIZE OF THEIR SIGN AND MADE IT ACTUALLY CALCULATED WAY BIGGER THAN IT LOOKS ON THE ELEVATION. SO THE BOARD DECIDED TO ULTIMATELY APPROVE THAT ONE, BECAUSE THE SCOPE OF THE SIGN DID FIT WITH THE SCALE OF THE BUILDING. SO THAT ONE WENT THROUGH UNANIMOUSLY. THE SECOND APPLICATION WAS FOR AMGEN ON THEIR EXISTING BUILDING. THEY'VE ALREADY GOT SOME SIGNAGE OUT THERE, BUT THEY'D LIKE TO PUT A THIRD SIGN THAT IS MORE VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD FROM THE HIGHWAY. 161 AND I, YOU KNOW, GOING OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD 200FT WAS ALLOWABLE. AND I THINK THEY WERE SHOOTING FOR 522FT■!S TO MAKE IT VISIBLE FROM 161. SO AGAIN, THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION WITH THE BOARD REGARDING THE NEW REGULATIONS AND LIMITATIONS FOR THE SIZE OF THE SIGN. SO I THINK WHAT WE TOOK AWAY FROM THAT ONE WAS THAT THE BOARD ASKED TO GO BACK TO THE STAFF AND MAYBE COME UP WITH A FEW MORE KIND OF GUARDRAILS OR TOOLS THAT THE BOARD COULD USE, YOU KNOW, DISTANCE FROM THE ROADWAY, LIKE SETBACKS, COULD BE A FACTOR IN QUALIFYING, WHETHER HOW BIG THE SIGN COULD BE, NOT JUST A FLAT NUMBER FOR THE FRONTAGE OF THE BUILDING. AND I THINK STAFF DID A GOOD JOB OF NAVIGATING THAT LAST NIGHT. AND THE BOARD DID A GREAT JOB ASKING QUESTIONS. AND BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A CONTINUING I MEAN, BUSINESSES ARE ALWAYS GOING TO WANT BIGGER SIGNS. AND I THINK BOARD DID A GREAT JOB OF GETTING THROUGH, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, CASE BY CASE. BUT I DO THINK IT WILL HELP IF THERE ARE SOME MORE TOOLS THAT THEY CAN USE TO KIND OF QUANTIFY. SO ULTIMATELY THE AMGEN SIGN, BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A BIG DEPARTURE, THE BOARD ULTIMATELY ASKED THEM TO. WE TABLED THAT ONE UNANIMOUSLY AND ASKED THEM TO COME BACK AND GIVE SOME OTHER RENDERINGS WITH DIFFERENT SIZES, AND ALSO GIVE STAFF SOME TIME TO KIND OF COME UP WITH SOME OTHER KIND OF GUIDELINES THAT THAT THE BOARD COULD USE TO QUANTIFY THE CRITERIA FOR THESE SIGNS. SO THAT ONE GOT TABLED UNTIL THE FOLLOWING PGA MEETING. OKAY. ONLY TWO CASES. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT UPDATE. AND SUSTAINABILITY I'M BACK. WE HAD A MEETING LAST WEDNESDAY. THE POCKET PRAIRIE PROJECT IS MOVING FULL SPEED AHEAD. AND WE HAD TWO OPEN HOUSES LAST ON THE ON JUNE 18TH FROM 430 TO 6, JAMES RIVER AND PLANO GROVE, WHERE RESIDENTS WERE ABLE TO VIEW PLANS AND CHAT WITH THE PROJECT TEAM. AND I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN SOME OF THE INFORMATION GOING OUT ON SOCIALS AND THAT CONNECTS. AND SO WE'RE 
          [00:15:02]
GETTING THE WORD OUT. SO IF ANYBODY ASKS YOU WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHY IS THE GRASS DEAD AND PLANTER'S GROVE, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE THE ANSWER. NOW WE'VE GOT TEMPORARY SIGNS INSTALLED AT BOTH. JAMES RIVER GROVE. THE PROJECT AT TAYLOR FARM IS PRETTY MUCH ROADSIDE, SO I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE ASKING QUESTIONS, WHY IS THIS ALL STRETCH ALONG THE ROAD? THE GRASS DEAD. SO AGAIN, IF YOU'VE GOT ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING POCKET PRAIRIES THAT COME TO YOU, YOU CAN PUT THEM IN MY DIRECTION OR I DON'T KNOW IF. DO WE HAVE SOMEWHERE ON THE WEBSITE, JOSH WHERE IF PEOPLE CLICK TO FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE POCKET PRAIRIE PROGRAM. OKAY, OKAY. SO WE ALSO DID A MID-YEAR REVIEW WHERE KIND OF ASSESSED HOW WE'RE DOING WITH OUR OUR STUDENT LEADERS AND SUSTAINABILITY. WE ONLY HAD ONE APPLICATION THIS YEAR. SO WE'RE WORKING TO TRY TO GET THAT NEWS OUT A LITTLE BIT BETTER SO WE GET MORE. IT WAS A GREAT PROJECT. SHE BUILT THE BIRD FEEDERS, IF YOU RECALL, AROUND THE E3 AND BORDERING SWICKARD WOODS. ALEXA BRIGGS, SHE COMPLETED THE PROJECT. IT LOOKS FANTASTIC, BUT WE'D LIKE TO JUST GET MORE APPLICATIONS GOING FORWARD, AND IT'S ALWAYS GOOD WHEN WE WIN AWARDS. SO WE'VE WON THE COLUMBUS MICRO SYSTEM AWARD FOR THE EARTH DAY E-WASTE RECYCLING DRIVE AWARD. WE WON THE MUNICIPALITY FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, AND AS A REMINDER, WE COLLECTED 20,897 POUNDS OF E-WASTE AND 50,348 POUNDS OF HAZARDOUS HOUSEHOLD WASTE. SO BIG NUMBERS THERE AND THEN. I JUST WANT TO SHARE. THERE'S A NEW SWACO BUSINESS RECYCLING AND FOOD WASTE CHAMPIONS PROGRAM THAT WE ARE GOING TO ENGAGE IN THAT PROVIDES FREE SIGNAGE, EDUCATION, INDOOR CONTAINERS AND SERVICE REIMBURSEMENTS. SO YOU MIGHT SEE SOME OF THIS STUFF POPPING UP AROUND NICE JOB. SO THE PLANTINGS ON THE POCKET PRAIRIES, IT JUST DEPENDS ON LOCATION, ON WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE IN THOSE DIFFERENT AREAS. YEAH, THERE'S THREE KIND OF SEPARATE. THE TAYLOR FARM IS GOING TO BE KIND OF WHAT WE COULD MIMIC ROADSIDE, YOU KNOW JUST A STRIP INSTEAD OF PUTTING TURF DOWN AND MOWING IT. THE ONE AT JAMES RIVER IS MORE OF A KIND OF A SHOWPIECE. IT'S A DEFINED KIND OF OVAL SHAPE WHERE SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD ALMOST DUPLICATE IN YOUR BACKYARD, BUT IT'S KIND OF IF YOU KNOW THE TRAIL THERE, IT KIND OF JUST LOOPS BACK TO NOWHERE, KIND OF WHERE THE POWER LINES ARE. THIS WILL KIND OF BE WE'RE GOING TO INCORPORATE IT SO PEOPLE CAN WALK THAT TRAIL AND KIND OF GO THROUGH IT ALMOST. AND THEN PLANTERS GROW IS GOING TO BE KIND OF A NATURAL PRAIRIE. IT'S OVER AN ACRE IN SIZE WHERE IT'S KIND OF WILD GRASSES AND, AND IT'S IN THE LOWER BOWL PART OF THE, THE PARK OVER THERE THAT KIND OF FLOODED ANYWAY, THAT FLOODS ANYWAY. AND WE ARE GOING TO BUT BASICALLY THE WHERE IT FLOODS AND THAT THAT ZONE THERE AND HAVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLANTINGS THAT WILL SERVE BETTER ALONG THE CREEK THERE, BUT THAT WILL BE THE LARGEST BY FAR. 
          THAT'S I THINK 1.2 ACRES. I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT WITH THE SORT OF MANICURED LAWN ALONG THE PATH. AND THEN THERE'S STILL PLENTY OF SPOTS FOR DOGS TO RUN AROUND IF THEY WANT. YEAH, AND WE WERE WE WERE VERY CONSCIOUS OF LEAVING AREA THERE. WE ACTUALLY LEFT THE AREA THAT WAS MORE SUITED FOR ACTIVITIES, KIND OF THE FLATTER AREA THAT YOU COULD PLAY FOOTBALL AND SOCCER AND RUN YOUR DOGS ON. SO WE WERE CONSCIOUS OF STILL HAVING A LARGE SPACE FOR PEOPLE AND PETS TO PLAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE UPDATE IDEA IMPLEMENTATION PANEL? ANY UPDATE? THERE'S NO MEETING. BUT WE HAD QUITE THE JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION A VERY IMPRESSED I THINK THE ESTIMATED COUNT WAS ABOUT 1500 PEOPLE ATTENDING. I THINK IT WENT EXTREMELY WELL. IT LOOKED LIKE A GREAT TIME FOR EVERYBODY. I APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL, PEOPLE THAT WERE ABLE TO ATTEND AND THAT'S THAT'S ALL I'LL SAY FOR NOW. YOU HAVE SOME PICTURES FOR US. DID WE DID WE GET ANY NUMBERS IN TO COMPARE TO LAST YEAR? I MEAN, THE WEATHER, I, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING OFFICIAL. YEAH. BECAUSE I JUST DON'T. BUT I KNOW THAT I HAD A INFORMAL CONVERSATION AND WE BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS PROBABLY AROUND 50. IT'S VERY HARD. THEY'RE TRYING TO USE THESE TRACKING THINGS AND EVERYTHING WE'RE TESTING WITH THEM INDICATES THEY'RE REMARKABLY INACCURATE. SO I AND YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE GO IN AND THEN BACK OUT AND THEN GO BACK IN, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT. THE UNOFFICIAL GUESSTIMATE IN OUR FIRST CONVERSATION WAS AROUND 1500, AND LAST YEAR WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY SIMILAR. SO MAYBE A LITTLE BIT ACTUALLY, I'D SAY A LITTLE LESS, BUT IT WAS I THINK PEOPLE STAYED LONGER THIS TIME IS MY IMPRESSION BECAUSE OF THE 
          [00:20:05]
WEATHER. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT. SO IT SEEMED LIKE, YOU KNOW, AND PEOPLE WERE IN THE FACILITY MORE. WHEREAS LAST YEAR A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE HIDING OUT BY THE FOOD TRUCKS WHERE THERE WAS SOME SHADE AND SEATING TO TRY TO ESCAPE THE HEAT. SO I THINK THEY WERE MORE ENGAGED AND I JUST THINK IT, YOU KNOW, IT WAS ANOTHER VERY SUCCESSFUL EVENT, VERY WELL DONE. YEAH. YOU KNOW HOW THE VENDORS DID WERE THERE THERE'S A LOT OF VENDORS THERE. I UNFORTUNATELY I REALLY HAVE NOTHING TONIGHT. I DIDN'T REALIZE I DIDN'T REALIZE ANDREA WASN'T GOING TO BE HERE. SO I DIDN'T PREPARE ANYTHING. I'M JUST IT'S A GOOD EVENT. BUT YEAH. YEAH, I'M SURE WE'LL HEAR MORE. HOPEFULLY SHE CAN UPDATE US AT THE NEXT MEETING. BUT. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE. CEMETERY RESTORATION BOARD. NO MEETING AND NO MEETING OF THE PUBLIC 
          [8. CORRESPONDENCE/COMMUNICATIONS]
RECORDS COMMISSION SINCE OUR LAST MEETING, ANY CORRESPONDENCE OR COMMUNICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN RECEIVED SINCE OUR LAST MEETING? I DID SEE RECEIVE A BRIEF FOLLOW UP EMAIL FROM ALLEN WAHL, AGAIN EXPRESSING CONCERNS REGARDING THE ROAD CLOSURE. SO I KNOW STAFF HAVE BEEN WORKING DIRECTLY WITH HIM. REGRETTABLY, I JUST DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE EVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT PERFECT. 
          [9. PUBLIC HEARING FOR JERSEY-NEW ALBANY JOINT ECONOMIC  DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1, NO. 2, AND NO. 3 ]
SO WE'LL WE'LL KEEP WORKING ON IT. PUBLIC HEARING FOR JERSEY, NEW ALBANY, JOINT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NUMBER ONE, TWO AND THREE JOE. THANK YOU MAYOR. PER THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ARC, WE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING TO GO OVER THE INDIVIDUAL JETS THERE. SO AS YOU MENTIONED, THERE ARE THREE THE THREE AREAS ARE LOCATED AT. THE FIRST IS LOCATED ON ALONG MORRIS ROAD. THE SECOND IS LOCATED ALONG WORTHINGTON ROAD AND THE THIRD IS LOCATED AROUND ALONG. 
          MINK AND I MAY BE MIXING THE IDENTIFIERS UP, BUT BASICALLY THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT JED DISTRICTS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED. SINCE THE INITIAL INTRODUCTION SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, I HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE TOWNSHIP ADMINISTRATOR AND THEIR LEGAL COUNSEL. OUR OUR LAW DIRECTOR ALSO PARTICIPATED AND WE CAME UP WITH A HANDFUL OF SLIGHT MODIFICATIONS. SOME OF THEM I WOULD CLASSIFY AS HOUSEKEEPING, OTHERS WOULD BE MORE SUBSTANTIAL. SO I THOUGHT I WOULD GO THROUGH THOSE TONIGHT AND BRING YOU UP TO SPEED ON THOSE. YOU SHOULD HAVE HARD COPIES IN YOUR PACKET. THE TOWNSHIP HAS ASKED FOR US TO TABLE THIS AGAIN UNTIL THE JULY 15TH MEETING. THE TOWNSHIP ADMINISTRATOR IS WORKING WITH SOME OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS, PARTICULARLY ALONG WORTHINGTON ROAD AND MORRIS ROAD, TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO BE INCLUDED. SO I THINK THE DROP DEAD DATE FOR THOSE TWO DISTRICTS WOULD BE THE JULY 15TH MEETING, AND WE MAY NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO ADDRESS THE MINK ROAD DISTRICT. THERE'S SOME THERE'S SOME DISCUSSION WITH THE MAJORITY LANDOWNER THERE ABOUT THE COMPOSITION OF THE JED BOARD. SO WE'LL HAVE TO GET WE'LL HAVE TO WORK THROUGH SOME OF THOSE ISSUES. BUT WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS JUST GO THROUGH, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO A PAGE TURN, BASICALLY THE MORRIS ROAD AND WORTHINGTON ROAD DOCUMENTS ARE VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE REFERENCE PROPERTIES THAT ARE AT THE BACK OF THE DOCUMENT. 
          ON PAGE ONE, WE ADDED SOME TERMS TO THE. TO THE RECITAL SECTION. WE CHANGED THE REFERENCE FROM A RESOLUTION TO AN ORDINANCE THE TOWNSHIP IS CONSIDERING THIS UNDER A RESOLUTION. SO THAT WAS THEIR REFERENCE IN IN OUR CASE WE'RE USING AN ORDINANCE. SO THAT'S THAT'S MORE HOUSEKEEPING THAN HOUSEKEEPING IN NATURE. ON PAGE TWO, SECTION ONE B, SUBSECTION B, UNDER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, WE HAD A REFERENCE TO MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AS A TYPE OF ANTICIPATED DEVELOPMENT. 
          THAT'S MINOR CHANGE ON PAGE THREE, I WOULD CLASSIFY THAT MAINLY AS HOUSEKEEPING. THAT WOULD BE SECTION FIVE. WE HAD A LANGUAGE REFERRING TO BOARD COMPOSITION THAT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE PREVIOUSLY IN THE SECTION. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT SECTION FIVE, WE HAVE THE APPOINTEES AND WHO WHO WHICH ENTITY MAKES THOSE APPOINTMENTS. THERE'S A, B, C, D AND E. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING WITHIN THE DISTRICT, YOU YOU BEGIN BY HAVING THREE REPRESENTATIVES INSTEAD OF FIVE. ONCE YOU HAVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE DISTRICT AND 
          [00:25:03]
THE BOARD EXPANDS TO FIVE. INITIALLY, THE FIRST APPOINTMENT WOULD BE BY THE CITY, IT WOULD BE A CITY REPRESENTATIVE, THE SECOND WOULD BE BY THE TOWNSHIP, AND THAT WOULD BE THEIR THEIR DESIGNATED TOWNSHIP REPRESENTATIVE. AND THE THIRD WOULD BE A REPRESENTATIVE THAT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO BOTH THE CITY AND THE TOWNSHIP. ONCE YOU EXPAND, THE RC REQUIRES THAT THERE WOULD BE A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BUSINESS OWNERS AND A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE EMPLOYEES OF THOSE BUSINESSES. THE LANGUAGE THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE MORSE ROAD AND WORTHINGTON ROAD, JEDS STATES THAT THE CITY WOULD APPOINT THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BUSINESSES AND THE TOWNSHIP WOULD APPOINT THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OF THE EMPLOYEES OF THOSE BUSINESSES. 
          SO JUST A MINOR, MINOR ADDITION OF LANGUAGE THERE ON PAGE THREE. TURNING TO PAGE SIX. ROMANET FOR POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE BOARD. THIS IS MORE OF A HOUSEKEEPING ITEM. AGAIN, WE ADDED WORDS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY LEFT OUT. SO WHEN IT WAS WRITTEN ORIGINALLY, IT DIDN'T READ CORRECTLY. SO WE ADDED SOME LANGUAGE THAT STATES THAT EITHER I'LL JUST READ IT THROUGH IN ITS ENTIRETY WITH THE CHANGE. THIS IS UNDER BOARD AUTHORITY OR RESPONSIBILITIES. ENTER INTO AGREEMENTS PURSUANT TO WHICH THE DISTRICT, THE CITY OR OTHER PARTIES MAY ENGINEER AND OR PROVIDE SERVICES FOR PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL DIRECTLY SERVE THE DISTRICT AND MAKE PAYMENTS TO RELEVANT PERSONS OR ENTITIES FOR SERVICES AND MATERIALS SO PROVIDED. SO THAT SECOND PHRASE WAS IN THE AGREEMENT ALREADY. AGAIN, MINOR CHANGE TO CLARIFY OR TO CORRECT SOME MISSING MISSING WORDS TO MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. PAGE SEVEN. SECTION SIX ROMANETTE 15 I WOULD CLASSIFY THIS AS A SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE. IT ADDS THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE AN INCOME TAX CREDIT SIMILAR TO THAT WHICH MUNICIPALITIES HAVE. SO. IT'S WHILE IT'S NOT MANDATORY, THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY OFFERS 100% INCOME TAX CREDIT FOR RESIDENTS WHO PAY INCOME TAX TO THE MUNICIPALITY IN WHICH THEY'RE EMPLOYED. THIS WOULD GIVE THE JED THE ABILITY TO HAVE THAT, TO DO THAT SAME THING, IF THEY WOULD CHOOSE TO DO SO. SORRY. CAN YOU SAY WHAT SECTION THAT WAS? AGAIN, THAT WAS SECTION SIX, PAGE SEVEN ROMANETTE 15. THERE IS I DON'T SEE IT. THERE IS NO THERE'S A 14 AND A 14 AND 16. MISSING. WE'RE MISSING. THAT'S WHAT I WAS LIKE. I'M NOT READING ANYTHING THAT SAYS THAT. 1314. CAN I HEAR. NO. OKAY. WE'LL GET THAT CORRECTED ON YOUR COPY. THE LANGUAGE THAT I HAVE HERE. STATES AGAIN, THIS IS UNDER AUTHORITY SAYS MAY IMPLEMENT A DISTRICT TAX C I'M SORRY, MAY IMPLEMENT A DISTRICT INCOME TAX CREDIT FOR RESIDENTS LIVING WITHIN THE JED DUE TO INCOME TAXES PAID TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION. SO WE'LL HAVE THAT. WE'LL HAVE THAT CLEANED UP ON YOUR COPIES FOR THE JULY 15TH MEETING. THANK YOU. 15 IS NOT IN THERE. YEAH, RIGHT. OKAY. ON PAGE EIGHT, SECTION EIGHT AGAIN, I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE. BASICALLY THIS ADDITION. SO THIS IS MIDDLE OF THE PAGE. 
          IT SAYS THE TAX AGREEMENT SHALL FURTHER PROVIDE THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR. THIS WOULD REFER TO THE TAX. THE INCOME TAX ADMINISTRATOR SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO NEGOTIATE TAX APPORTIONMENT AGREEMENTS WITH BUSINESSES WITHIN THE DISTRICT. SO THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE AUTHORITY THAT THE CITIES DIRECTOR OF FINANCE HAS. IF YOU HAVE A SITUATION IN WHICH THE THERE'S A. THERE'S AA3 FACTOR FORMULA THAT IS CONSIDERED IN THE IN THE TAX CODE AND THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE IN THE CITY HAS THE AUTHORITY TO. MODIFY THAT THREE FACTOR FORMULA IN THE EVENT THAT IT CREATES AN UNFAIR TAX SITUATION. SO WHAT THIS DOES IS IT EXTENDS THAT SAME AUTHORITY. IN THIS CASE, OUR DIRECTOR OF FINANCE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COLLECTING THE INTERIM TAX AND ADMINISTERING THE DISBURSEMENT OF THE INCOME TAX. SO IF THE BOARD WOULD 
          [00:30:02]
CHOOSE TO DO SO. WITH THIS LANGUAGE HERE, THE, THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO MODIFY THE THREE FACTOR FORMULA, WHICH IS REFERENCED IN THE RC. I'M NOT 100% SURE THAT'S IN HERE EITHER, SO I MIGHT JUST NOT BE SEEING THAT. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S MISSING. YEAH, WE ALL HAVE THE SAME VERSION. SAME VERSION. ALL RIGHT, I'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET THE. WE DON'T HAVE THESE UPDATES. YEAH OKAY. OKAY. PAGE TEN, SECTION 13. AGAIN I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE. AND I'M ASSUMING YOU WON'T HAVE THIS EITHER. BUT I'LL AGAIN I'LL MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE IT FOR THE NEXT MEETING TO ADD LANGUAGE FROM THE C TO DOCUMENT FOR THE SAKE OF CONSISTENCY. I'LL JUST READ IT INTO THE RECORD. IT SAYS. SO THIS IS ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO PRECLUDE OR SERVE TO BAR. OR SERVE AS A BAR TO THE CITY SEEKING THE RECOVERY OF DAMAGES FOR DEFAULT AS SET FORTH IN ANY APPLICABLE SETA. SO WE HAVE DEFAULT PROVISIONS THAT WE'VE INCORPORATED INTO THE SETA THIS LANGUAGE INSERTS THAT SIMILAR LANGUAGE INTO THE AGREEMENT, SO THAT WE HAVE CONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE AGREEMENTS. OKAY. AND THE LAST SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE IS TO THE ATTACHMENT TO THE TO THE AGREEMENT. IT'S LISTED AS EXHIBIT 18. IT WOULD BE ON PAGE I'M SORRY. IT'S EXHIBIT B ON PAGE 18. AND BASICALLY WHAT IT DOES IS ADD LANGUAGE TO PROTECT THE CITY FROM EXCESSIVE USE OF MUTUAL OF A MUTUAL AID REQUEST TO SUBSTITUTE FOR REGULAR LAW ENFORCEMENT COVERAGE. SO UNDER THE CURRENT CONDITIONS, THE TOWNSHIP RECEIVES LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICE FROM THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, BUT IT'S NOT DEDICATED SERVICE. SO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT PATROLS RANDOMLY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. AND IF THEY HAPPEN TO BE IN THE TOWNSHIP, THEY'LL THEY'LL PATROL WHILE THEY'RE THERE. BUT THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT THEY HAVE TO PATROL THE AREA WITH A DEFINED NUMBER OF PERSONNEL ON A DEFINED SCHEDULE. MY CONCERN IS THAT AS DEVELOPMENT OCCURS IN THIS AREA, IF THEY DON'T CHANGE THAT TO REQUIRE DEDICATED PATROL IN THAT AREA, THEN MUTUAL AID REQUESTS COULD INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY. AND THAT WOULD PUT AN UNDUE BURDEN ON THE NEW ALBANY PD. SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT LANGUAGE WAS ADDED. THEY HAD NO NO PROBLEM ADDING THAT. SO THEY SHALL CONTRACT FOR DEPUTY SHERIFF. WHAT'S THE LANGUAGE? SAYS? IT SAYS HOWEVER, NEITHER THE JED NOR THIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN SHALL BE UTILIZED TO OVERLY BURDEN THE LEVEL OF LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE CITY WITHIN THE JED AREA. IN THE EVENT OF DEVELOPMENT AND POPULATION GROWTH WITHIN THE JED AREA, ANY EXISTING MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS SHALL NOT BE USED TO OVERLY BURDEN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE CITY. SIMILARLY, EXISTING MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS SHALL NOT BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE BY THE TOWNSHIP FOR ITS USE OF OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, SUCH AS THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, UPON THE REQUEST OF THE CITY OR THE TOWNSHIP, THE PARTIES SHALL MEET TO DISCUSS THE TERMS OF ANY MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT REGARDING LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES. IF THE TOWNSHIPS DEMAND FOR THE CITY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES INCREASES, SO WE AGREE TO TALK ABOUT. YEAH. DOES THAT. I THINK IT IS FOR NOW BECAUSE WE'RE NOT REQUIRED. I MEAN, WE HAVE A WE HAVE A MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT IN PLACE NOW. BUT WE COULD ALWAYS WE COULD ALWAYS TERMINATE THAT AGREEMENT IF IT BECAME A PROBLEM. I THINK THEY RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOMETHING SUBSTANTIAL RELATIVE TO POLICING THERE AS DEVELOPMENT OCCURS. I'LL DEFER TO BEN. YEAH. NO, I THINK THAT THE LANGUAGE PROTECTS THE CITY FROM HAVING TO DO MORE THAN THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NOW UNLESS THEY GET TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT IT AND UNLESS WE GET TOGETHER AND AGREE TO IT. SO THEIR INTENT WOULD BE TO CONTINUE TO USE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IF THE NEED FOR THE CITY SERVICES CONTINUE TO RISE AND WE GET TOGETHER, TALK ABOUT IT, AND HAVE TO AGREE TO IT AT THAT POINT. SO THE LANGUAGE IS IN THERE TO PROTECT THE CITY FROM HAVING TO DO MORE THAN OR OVEREXTENDING ITSELF. OKAY. WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS STANDARDIZE THE LANGUAGE AS MUCH 
          [00:35:01]
AS POSSIBLE BETWEEN THE THREE DIFFERENT JED DISTRICTS OR JED AGREEMENTS. AS I SAID, THE MINK ROAD AGREEMENT WILL PROBABLY HAVE SOME SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT LANGUAGE. THE ATTACHMENTS WILL BE DIFFERENT, BUT THE BASE LANGUAGE SHOULD BE SHOULD BE VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL. AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO WORK THROUGH THE REMAINING CHANGES RELATIVE TO THE MINK ROAD AGREEMENT BY JULY 15TH. BUT IF NOT, THAT, 1ST MAY HAVE TO GET PUSHED OUT TO A FUTURE MEETING. 
          SO THE TOWNSHIP HAS ASSURED ME THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE. ALL OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS INCLUDED, THE ONES THAT WANT TO BE INCLUDED IN THESE AGREEMENTS BY THE 15TH. AND AGAIN, I WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE UPDATED LANGUAGE EITHER BEFORE THEN, BUT DEFINITELY THAT NIGHT. SO YOU HAVE TIME TO REVIEW. SO I WOULD REQUEST WHEN IT COMES TIME TO. SO IT'LL BE THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA. WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR SECOND READING OF THIS, I WOULD REQUEST THAT WE TABLE UNTIL JULY 15TH. JUST ONE QUESTION, JOE. ALL THE PLOTS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN HERE IN THIS INITIAL PLAN, LET'S SAY ALL THAT PASSES, ALL PARTIES AGREE. WHAT IF OTHER PARCELS WANT TO BECOME A PART OF THIS IN THE FUTURE? WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR THAT? SO THE THEY COULD JOIN LATER? THEY WOULD HAVE. WE WOULD HAVE TO AMEND THE JED AGREEMENT EACH TIME. DO WE HAVE APPROVAL AS TO WHO THOSE COULD OR NOT. SO WE HAVE RIGHT OF APPROVAL OR REFUSAL TO ADD TO IT. OKAY, OKAY. WE CAN WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXPAND THE JET AS OR OR KEEP IT AS SMALL AS WE WOULD LIKE. OKAY. NICE WORK 
          [10. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARING]
OKAY. QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE. OH 21 2025 AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY AND JERSEY TOWNSHIP FOR THE PURPOSE OF CREATING THE WORTHINGTON ROAD JOINT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, THE MORRIS ROAD JOINT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, AND THE NORTHEAST MEAT STREET JOINT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. BEFORE WE JUMP AHEAD, POINT OF ORDER. I THINK WE NEED TO POSTPONE THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT WE JUST HAD WHERE CITY MANAGER STEFANOFF GAVE A PRESENTATION TO. WE NEED TO POSTPONE THAT PUBLIC HEARING IF WE'RE NOT CLOSING IT NOW. CORRECT. SO WE NEED A MOTION FOR THAT, FOR A POSTPONEMENT. OKAY. THEN, BEFORE AGAIN, THANKS FOR LETTING ME READ THE LORD'S. SHE TRIED TO STOP YOU, BUT IT WAS SO GOOD. SO GOOD. IT'S ON A ROLL. ITEM NINE ON THE AGENDA. PUBLIC HEARING FOR JERSEY, NEW ALBANY, JOINT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, DISTRICT NUMBER ONE, TWO AND THREE. I MOVE THAT WE POSTPONE THE PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL OUR MEETING ON JULY 15TH. SECOND. 
          MAYOR SPALDING. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. BRISK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DEREK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. FELLOWS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. KIST. YES. I HAVE FIVE YES VOTES. POSTPONE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THESE THREE JETS TO THE JULY 15TH COUNCIL MEETING. OF COURSE, THE SECOND READING IS ALSO A PUBLIC HEARING. YES. WELL, THERE'S THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN THERE'S THE ORDINANCE WITH IT'S OWN PUBLIC HEARING THAT MAKES THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. ALL RIGHT. I'VE ALREADY READ THE ORDINANCE INTO THE RECORD. I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT AGAIN. I WOULD MOVE THAT. WE TABLE ORDINANCE OH 21 2025 UNTIL OUR MEETING ON JULY 15TH. SECOND. MAYOR SPALDING. YES. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DEREK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          KISS. YES. FIVE. YES. VOTES TO TABLE. ORDINANCE OH 21 2025 TO THE JULY 15TH MEETING. ORDINANCE OH 22 2025 ORDINANCE TO AMEND A 5.966 ACRE CONSERVATION EASEMENT AS REQUESTED BY HOLDINGS, LLC. 
          MR. OR MISS GRASSO. WHO WANTS IT? YES, THIS IS SECOND READING FOR THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT AMENDMENT, AS YOU MENTIONED, KEEP AND JEN GAVE A THOROUGH PRESENTATION FOR THE FIRST READING. I'LL KEEP MY COMMENTS BRIEF, BUT THIS AMENDMENT ALLOWS FOR UNDERGROUND UTILITIES TO BE INSTALLED WITHIN THE EASEMENT AREA AND PROHIBITS ANY DISTURBANCES TO THE ABOVE GROUND. EXISTING CONSERVED AREA WITHIN THE EASEMENT AREA SO IT ALLOWS UNDERGROUND UTILITIES, NOTHING ABOVE THAT, AND ALL UTILITIES MUST BE INSTALLED UNDERGROUND. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE? I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING ORDINANCE OH 22 2025 HEARING NO PUBLIC COMMENT. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE ORDINANCE? I MOVE FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE OH 22 202. SECOND COUNCIL MEMBER CASS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DEREK. YES. 
          [00:40:01]
COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. FRISK. YES. MAYOR. SPALDING. YES. FIVE. YES. VOTES TO APPROVE ORDINANCE OH 22 2025. ORDINANCE OH 23 2025. AN ORDINANCE TO ACCEPT RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATIONS OF 0.057 AND 0.033 ACRES FROM HAWTHORNE ALLEY AND 0.0045 AND 0.0011 ACRES FOR NORTH HIGH STREET, AND TO VACATE A 0.141 ACRE PORTION OF THIRD STREET, AS REQUESTED BY THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. MR. MAYOR, THANK YOU. SO THERE'S THREE PIECES TO THIS LEGISLATION. THE FIRST ONE IS THE DEDICATION OF RIGHT OF WAY ALONG NORTH HIGH STREET. SO AFTER THE PLAT WAS RECORDED FOR FOUNDERS AVENUE, SECOND, THIRD AND HAWTHORNE ALLEY, IT WAS DISCOVERED BY THE ENGINEERING TEAM THAT A PORTION OF THE BRICK SIDEWALK THAT IS EXISTING ALONG NORTH HIGH STREET WAS BUILT ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, SO THIS IS REALLY JUST A CLEANUP ITEM. THE PROPERTY OWNER WAS NICE ENOUGH TO DEDICATE. THIS IS THE 0.0045 AND 0.001 ACRES. SO IT'S ROUGHLY THE SIZE OF A TABLE. BUT IT IS A GOOD CLEANUP EFFORT TO MAKE SURE THINGS ARE WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. THE SECOND PORTION OF THIS LEGISLATION IS RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATIONS. SO TO SUPPLEMENT THE PLAT THAT I MENTIONED THAT IS RECORDED FOR SECOND, THIS EXTENDS FOUNDERS AVENUE, WHERE IT CURRENTLY ENDS ALL THE WAY TO US 62. SO THIS LEGISLATION ACCEPTS RIGHT OF WAY FROM TWO ENTITIES. THE FIRST IS THE NEW ALBANY EXCHANGE. SO THEY OWN ALL THE PROPERTY IN RED HERE. THIS WHAT'S HATCHED IN RED IS WHAT WILL BE DEDICATED TO THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. SO THIS IS ABOUT 0.057 ACRES. AND THEN GREEN IS OWNED BY THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY. AND THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY WILL DEDICATE THIS GREEN, RED HATCHED AREA HERE TO FINISH AND EXTEND ALL THE WAY FROM THIRD STREET OVER TO US 62. 
          THIS PARCEL IS MADE UP OF .033 ACRES. AND THEN THE THIRD PORTION OF THIS LEGISLATION IS TO VACATE THE OLD THIRD STREET. SO IF YOU DROVE DOWN US 62 TONIGHT, YOU PROBABLY NOTICED THAT THIRD STREET IS GONE. IT'S BEEN ENTIRELY RIPPED OUT. SO WHAT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW HERE REPRESENTS ABOUT 1.141 ACRES. AND IT CORRESPONDS WITH THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY PROPERTY BOTH ON THE EAST AND WEST SIDES OF THIS. AND SO THIS WILL VACATE THIS PROPERTY AND TRANSFER IT OVER TO NEW ALBANY COMPANY. BUT AN EASEMENT WILL BE HELD OVER THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE THERE IS SOME PUBLIC UTILITIES IN THERE. SO NO BUILDINGS WILL BE ALLOWED TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE FUTURE. 
          AND THAT'S THE THREE PORTIONS OF THIS LEGISLATION. AND STAFF'S HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS? NO. THEN I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. I'M SORRY. MIKE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I'M SORRY. I OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANY INTEREST FROM THE PUBLIC REGARDING ORDINANCE OH 23 2025 HEARING? NO PUBLIC COMMENT. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE. OH 23 2025 SECOND MAYOR SPALDING. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. BRUCE. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DEREK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          [11. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES]
KISS. YES. FIVE. YES. VOTES TO ADOPT ORDINANCE OH 23 2025. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES ORDINANCE OH 24 2025. AN ORDINANCE TO ACCEPT THE EXPEDITED TYPE ONE ANNEXATION OF 115.445 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES FROM JERSEY TOWNSHIP, LICKING COUNTY, TO THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. JOE. 
          THANK YOU. SO THIS IS THIS ANNEXATION FOLLOWS OUR STANDARD PROCESS, WHICH IS THE EXPEDITED TYPE ONE. AGAIN, IT ENABLES US TO REACH AN AGREEMENT OR ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE UNDERLYING TOWNSHIP THAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO THEM AND TO US IN TERMS OF THE ANY TYPE OF REVENUE SHARING, HOW HOW TIPS MIGHT BE HANDLED, HOW TAX ABATEMENT MIGHT BE HANDLED. AND THEN IT ALSO APPLIES THE STANDARD THAT EXISTS IN THE OHIO REVISED CODE RELATIVE TO CONFORMANCE OF BOUNDARIES. SO THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS APPROVED THE ANNEXATION PETITION ON APRIL 3RD, 2025 THROUGH THEIR RESOLUTION 20 5-0335 AND THE 60 DAY WAITING PERIOD HAS LAPSED. 
          WE DID WE DO HAVE A AN EXISTING ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH LICKING COUNTY THAT WAS ENTERED INTO IN 2022. SO ALL OF THE BOXES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND WE CAN ADVANCE THIS ANNEXATION PETITION NOW. OH, THE SITE IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF GREEN CHAPEL ROAD, WEST SIDE OF BEECH AND ROUTE SIX. US 62 CLIPS THE CORNER OF THE OF THE PARCEL RIGHT THERE, SO IT IS CONTIGUOUS 
          [00:45:13]
TO NEW ALBANY BOUNDARIES. IS THIS THE FORMER SMART FARM? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE ORDINANCE. AND WE WILL SET THAT AT SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AT OUR MEETING ON JULY 15TH. ORDINANCE OH 25 2025 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY BY AMENDING THE ZONING MAP TO REZONE 115.445 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES OF LAND, GENERALLY LOCATED IN THE CORNER OF BEECH ROAD AND GREEN CHAPEL ROAD, ALONG US 62 FROM AGRICULTURAL AG TO LIMITED GENERAL EMPLOYMENT LG FOR AN AREA TO BE KNOWN AS THE SMART FARM ZONING DISTRICT, AS REQUESTED BY KERRY'S CRITICAL CEO, CRAIG MONCRIEF, MR. CHRISTIAN, YES, I JUST WANT TO TAKE A SECOND TO INTRODUCE KYLIE BLACKBURN. SHE'S GOING TO BE GIVING THE PRESENTATION TO YOU GUYS TONIGHT. SHE'S A PLANNER AND HAS BEEN WITH THE CITY FOR SINCE SEPTEMBER. RIGHT. SO TAKE IT AWAY. SO AS MENTIONED, THIS IS A REZONING APPLICATION FOR THE SAME LOCATION THAT WAS JUST HEARD FOR THE ANNEXATION. BEFORE WE GET INTO IT, I JUST WANTED TO GO OVER, FOR EVERYONE'S BENEFIT, THE PUBLIC PROCESS FOR REZONING APPLICATIONS. SO FOR THIS PROPERTY ONLY PLANNING COMMISSION IS REQUIRED TO REVIEW BEFORE COUNCIL MAKES THE FINAL TAKES FINAL ACTION. AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED THIS APPLICATION DURING THEIR MAY 19TH MEETING AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, LEADING IT TO ITS FIRST READING TODAY. SO AGAIN, JUST LOOKING AT IT, IT'S ROUGHLY 115 ACRES PROPOSED TO BE REZONED, OUTLINED IN RED HERE, WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE CORNER OF BEACH ROAD AND GREEN CHAPEL ALONG US 62. AND DUE TO IT BEING ANNEXED INTO THE CITY, AS SAID BEFORE, IT IS CURRENTLY AN AGRICULTURAL LOT AND WOULD BE REZONED TO AN AREA OF GENERAL EMPLOYMENT USE KNOWN AS SMART FARMS ZONING DISTRICT. AND AS SEEN ON THE MAP, THE REZONING WOULD MAKE THE SITE HAVE SIMILAR USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS TO WHAT IS FOUND IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS TODAY. AND THE REZONING WILL ALSO KEEP THE PROPERTY CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S STRATEGIC PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE. AND WE WILL SET THAT FOR SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AT OUR MEETING ON JULY 15TH. ORDINANCE OH 26 2025. IN ORDER TO DECLARE THE IMPROVEMENT OF CERTAIN PARCELS OF REAL PROPERTY TO BE A PUBLIC PURPOSE EXEMPT 100% OF THAT IMPROVEMENT FROM REAL PROPERTY TAXATION REQUIRE THE 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 JOHNSTOWN-MONROE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS OF LICKING COUNTY. 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. THANK YOU, MAYOR ZIEGLER. THIS ORDINANCE AMENDS THE OAK GROVE TWO TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT TO INCLUDE APPROXIMATELY 115 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES OF LAND CURRENTLY BEING ANNEXED. THE ACREAGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXPANSION IS LOCATED IN LICKING COUNTY, AT THE CORNER OF BEECH ROAD. US 62 AND CLOVER VALLEY. THE TIP IS CLASSIFIED AS NON-SCHOOL, WHICH MEANS THAT IT IS NOT GOING TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE JOHNSTOWN-MONROE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT OR THE CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTERS OF LICKING COUNTY. THE PURPOSE OF THE TIF IS TO CAPTURE THE INCREMENTAL INCREASE IN THE VALUE OF THE LAND, AND THE IMPROVEMENT TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS QUALIFIED PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC PROJECTS. THE CITY HAS ENTERED INTO SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS WITH JERSEY TOWNSHIP REGARDING THE FUNDING OF FIRE AND EMS SERVICES. THE ORDINANCE MAY BE SET FOR SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING ON JULY 15TH, 2025. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE. THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT. WE'LL SET THAT FOR PUBLIC MEETING AND SECOND HEARING AT OUR MEETING ON JULY 15TH. ORDINANCE OH 27 2025 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 141 RECORDS COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. CODIFIED ORDINANCES ARE REQUESTED BY THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. FORT MASON. YEP. CHAPTER 141 OF THE CITY'S CODIFIED ORDINANCES DEFINES AND DESCRIBES THE RECORDS COMMISSION, WHICH WE CALL THE PUBLIC RECORDS COMMISSION IN CITY CODE CHAPTER WAS LAST UPDATED ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO, IN 1996. THE PROPOSED CHANGES WERE MARKED BY COLORED TEXT ON YOUR ORDINANCE AND YOUR ORIGINAL. THE INTENT OF THE PROPOSED CODE IS TO REFLECT CURRENT CITY PRACTICES AND RECORD KEEPING. FOR EXAMPLE, WITH THE CHANGE IN THE CODE, EACH DEPARTMENT NAMES THEIR OWN RECORDS OFFICER INSTEAD OF THE CITY MANAGER 
          [00:50:01]
DOING IT. OF COURSE, IN THERE IT SAID VILLAGE ADMINISTRATOR. WE DID A COUPLE OF THOSE UPDATES. 
          YOU PROBABLY SAW THERE WAS A SHORT KIND OF DEFAULT RECORDS RETENTION SCHEDULE IN THE CODE. 
          I'M GUESSING IT WAS CREATED AT THE TIME, LIKE WE HAD NO RETENTION SCHEDULES TO START WITH. AND SO THAT WAS JUST KIND OF THERE. I'VE LEFT IT MOSTLY INTACT BECAUSE THOSE ARE ITEMS YOU ALWAYS WANT COVERED ANYWAY. BUT WE PUT IN SOME LANGUAGE SAYING IF THERE IS A MORE SPECIFIC RETENTION SCHEDULE, THAT'S THE ONE THAT CONTROLS. SO THAT'S MOSTLY THERE AS A DEFAULT IN CASE THAT'S SOMEHOW SOME WAY MISSING. BUT MOST DEPARTMENTS HAVE WORKING AND UPDATED RETENTION SCHEDULES WITH MUCH GREATER DETAIL. THESE CHANGES WERE PRESENTED INFORMALLY TO THE PUBLIC RECORDS COMMISSION AT THEIR NOVEMBER MEETING AND THEN MORE FORMALLY, AND THEY APPROVED IT UNANIMOUSLY AT THE JUNE 2025 MEETING. HAPPY TO ACCEPT ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE THEN WE WILL ALSO SET THAT FOR SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AT OUR MEETING ON JULY 15TH. ORDINANCE OH 28 2025 ORDINANCE TO ACCEPT A RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION OF 0.875 ACRES ALONG BARRETT ROAD, AS REQUESTED BY HOLDINGS, LLC, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY MISTER MAYOR. THANK YOU. SO THIS ORDINANCE IS FOR A RIGHT OF WAY. DEDICATION OF 40FT. THANK YOU. ALONG BABBITT ROAD. SO HERE'S 161 AND DUBLIN-GRANVILLE ROAD AND HERE'S BABBITT. SO THE AREA EAST OF BABBITT ROAD HERE WAS RECENTLY RECENTLY ANNEXED AND REZONED INTO THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. SO THIS LEGISLATION ACCEPTS DEDICATION OF 40FT FROM THE CENTER LINE OF THE EXISTING ROADWAY, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ZONING TEXT THAT WAS APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY. SO THIS RIGHT OF WAY, IN ADDITION TO STREETSCAPING UTILITY EASEMENTS, IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE FUTURE STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS AND OTHER ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS THAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY BE HEARING ABOUT A LITTLE LATER TODAY. THAT'S ON THE AGENDA. THIS IS DECLARING AN EMERGENCY TO WAIVE THE 30 DAY REFERENDUM PERIOD AFTER SECOND READING, TO ENSURE THAT RIGHT OF WAY CAN BE PROCURED AHEAD OF THE CITY'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. THAT'S AFTER SECOND READING. GREAT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE? THEN AGAIN, WE'RE DECLARING THAT AN EMERGENCY. BUT WE WILL WAIVE THAT AFTER OUR MEETING ON JULY 15TH IF THE ORDINANCE PASSES AND ALSO AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING. ORDINANCE, OH 29 2025 APPROPRIATIONS AMENDMENT ORDINANCE, AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND APPROPRIATIONS FOR CURRENT EXPENSES AND OTHER EXPENDITURES OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY, STATE OF OHIO, DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31ST, 2025, AND TO AUTHORIZE TRANSFERS FROM THE GENERAL AND ELK GROVE TWO INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDS AND ADVANCE FROM THE GENERAL FUND. DIRECTOR STOTZ, THANK YOU. MAYOR. THIS ORDINANCE AUTHORIZES THE AMENDMENTS TO THE 2025 APPROPRIATIONS AS DETERMINED THROUGH AN ONGOING REVIEW OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY'S ACTUAL AND PROJECTED REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES. COMPARED TO THE 2025 ANNUAL BUDGET. THE AMENDMENTS PROPOSED ALSO CONSIDER DEPARTMENT REQUESTS, AS DETERMINED THROUGH A MID-YEAR REVIEW OF THEIR RESPECTIVE BUDGETS. ADDITIONALLY, THE LEGISLATION PROVIDES FOR TRANSFERS AND AN ADVANCE FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO VARIOUS FUNDS, AS WELL AS THE TRANSFER FROM THE OAK GROVE TO INFRASTRUCTURE FUND TO THE BOND RETIREMENT FUND. GOING INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL SECTION ONE AND TWO TO IDENTIFY AMENDMENTS TO APPROPRIATIONS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO ACCOMMODATE ADDITIONAL OPERATING AND CAPITAL NEEDS PLANNED FOR 2025. A DETAILED LIST OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS IS ATTACHED TO THE LEGISLATIVE REPORT, AND IT WAS ACTUALLY PROVIDED IN YOUR BOX FOR YOU WITH THAT LEGISLATION REPORT. AND THIS SHOWS THE DETAILED ADJUSTMENTS BY FUND COMPARED TO THE 2025 ANNUAL BUDGET PROGRAM. THERE'S A SUMMARY ALSO INCLUDED IN THERE THAT SHOWS THAT WHAT THE TOTAL EFFECT OF ALL THESE ADJUSTMENTS ARE. THE ORDINANCE REFLECTS THE INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THE DETAIL. AND IF WE WANT TO GO INTO THE DETAILS, I WILL START WITH THE GENERAL FUND. THE GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATION AMENDMENTS WILL INCREASE THE BUDGET BY APPROXIMATELY $27 MILLION, REPRESENTING A 52% INCREASE FROM THE ORIGINAL APPROPRIATIONS ADOPTED WITH THE 2025 ANNUAL BUDGET PROGRAM. IN 2024, APPROXIMATELY 23 MILLION OF THE OVERALL INCREASE IN APPROPRIATIONS IS TO PROVIDE FUNDING AND SUPPORT FOR VARIOUS CAPITAL NEEDS AND TO REPAY THE BOND. ANTICIPATION NOTES THAT MATURE IN SEPTEMBER. THESE BOND ANTICIPATION NOTES WERE ORIGINALLY. ISSUED FOR THE MARKET STREET EXTENSION PROJECT AND BRISCO PARKWAY PROJECT, AND WE INTENDED TO ROLL THEM INTO A NEW ISSUANCE IN THIS THIS FALL, HOWEVER, WE'RE DELAYING THAT NEW ISSUANCE. AND SO THE STAFF HAS DECIDED TO INSTEAD PAY THOSE NOTES OFF. STAFF HAS DETERMINED AGAIN TO UTILIZE UP TO $10.6 MILLION OF THE FUND'S CASH 
          [00:55:06]
RESERVES TOWARDS THE RETIREMENT OF THE BAND, RATHER THAN ROLLING THE NOTE FOR ANOTHER 12 MONTHS OR ROLLING INTO A LATE, LATER PERMANENT BOND PLANNED FOR ROSE RUN TWO AND OTHER PROJECTS NOW PROJECTED FOR EARLY 2026. BY USING THE CASH RESERVES FOR A PORTION OF THE REPAYMENT, THE CITY WILL PRESERVE THE ORIGINAL FUNDING SOURCE, WHICH IS THE EAST AUTHORITY FOR FUTURE PHASES OF GANTON PARKWAY OR OTHER KEY PROJECTS TO BE DETERMINED THROUGH THE 2026 CAPITAL PLANNING PROCESS. WITH THE INCREASE IN GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATIONS, THE ENDING BALANCE IN THE FUND FOR 2025 IS ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY $39 MILLION. AFTER ALSO ADJUSTING ESTIMATED REVENUES TO REFLECT YEAR TO DATE INCOME TAX COLLECTIONS, THE NEW ESTIMATED BALANCE CONTINUES TO EXCEED BUDGETED OPERATING COSTS AND THEREFORE REMAINS GREATER THAN THE 65% TARGET RESERVE THAT WE KEEP. IN ORDER TO SET ASIDE THOSE FUNDS. GETTING A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFIC IN THE GENERAL FUND BY DEPARTMENT AND DIVISION IN THE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT AND PROGRAMING DIVISION, WITHIN THE MAIN GENERAL OPERATING FUND, THERE IS A $3 MILLION INCREASE RELATED TO THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO THE NEW ALBANY PLAIN LOCAL SCHOOLS FOR PROVIDING FUNDING FOR THE BALL FIELDS. ONCE THAT IS DECIDED, THIS IS AN INCREASE IN THE TIMING OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF THOSE FUNDS OVER THREE YEARS. THERE'S ALSO A $210,000 INCREASE TO PROVIDE FOR THE HEALTHY NEW ALBANY, WAIVED MAINTENANCE AND UTILITY COSTS THAT WERE AGREED TO AS PART OF THE LEASE AMENDMENT THAT WAS DONE IN 2023. FOR YEARS 24 THROUGH 2026, IN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, THERE'S VARIOUS INCREASES IN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RELATED TO INSPECTIONS, PLAN REVIEW AND CONSULTING, MOST OF WHICH REPRESENT PASS THROUGH EXPENSES THAT ARE COLLECTED IN PERMIT FEES AND THEN IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE AND LAND AND BUILDINGS. 
          THERE'S A TRANSFER OF APPROPRIATIONS TO ACCOMMODATE POSITIONS CURRENTLY FILLED WITH A CONTRACT LABOR. AND THEN THERE'S INCREASE IN FLEET MAINTENANCE AND RELATED PARTS DUE TO INCREASE IN INVENTORY, OF MAINTAINING ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT AND ALSO PRICE INCREASES. IN ADDITION, THERE'S MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR RELATED TO FIRE PANELS WITH THE PUBLIC, POLICE, PUBLIC SERVICE BUILDINGS, PUBLIC SERVICE GARAGE DOORS, THE WALNUT GATE AT SERVICE, AND WAGNER CEMETERY. MAINTENANCE COSTS, INCLUDING IN THE END OF BUILDINGS. WITHIN THE IT GENERAL FUND THAT IS ALLOCATED SPECIFICALLY FOR IT. THERE'S INCREASES RELATED TO CERTAIN SOFTWARE FOR AI, WHICH IS LOCATION SOFTWARE, AND ALSO RELATED LICENSES FOR THAT, AND THEN WITHIN THE COMMUNITY EVENTS GENERAL FUND THAT IS SET ASIDE, THERE'S AN INCREASE TO PROVIDE FOR A DRONE SHOW. WITH THE CELEBRATION IN 2026 FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY. DOES ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS ON THE GENERAL FUND? OKAY. FURTHER DOWN, THERE'S AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADJUSTMENT TO WHERE WITHIN THE FUND, THE EAST AUTHORITY, WE ARE DECREASING THAT APPROPRIATION, WHICH IS WHAT WE INTENDED TO ORIGINALLY PAY OFF THE BOND FOR OR THE BOND ANTICIPATION NOTE FOR. AND THAT WAY WE'RE PRESERVING THE FUNDS FOR FUTURE PROJECTS WITHIN THE CAPITAL FUNDS, THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND INCLUDES AN EXPANSION OF SCOPE FOR THE WALNUT AND BILHEIMER INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, WHICH I BELIEVE THAT MIGHT BE THE ONE WE ARE LISTENING TO TODAY. AND THEN THE PARKWAY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT INCREASE FOR THE FINAL STAGES OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS AT WALTON PARKWAY CITY OFFICES. THERE'S ALSO AN INCREASE TO PROVIDE FOR PLANNING, DESIGN AND PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES FOR A POLICE TRAINING FACILITY. AND FINALLY, THERE'S A INCREASE RELATED TO REPLENISHING THE MISCELLANEOUS FUND TO PROVIDE FOR FUTURE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS OR OTHER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH CURRENT PROJECTS THAT ARE ON THE LIST. WITHIN THE WATER AND SEWER CAPITAL FUND, THERE'S INCREASE RELATED TO REPLACING EQUIPMENT AT THE MORRIS ROAD BOOSTER STATION AND CERTAIN PARTS WITHIN THE GRAY WATER PUMP HOUSE AND IN THE CAPITAL EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND. THERE ARE VARIOUS EQUIPMENT NEEDS, INCLUDING OUTFITTING A CURRENT CITY VEHICLE WITH A WATER TANK AND PUMP FOR SEASONAL LANDSCAPING PURPOSES, AND ANOTHER WITH RIGHT OF WAY EQUIPMENT FOR THAT TEAM. THERE'S AN INCREASE RELATED TO. PROVIDING FOR A ASSETS THAT WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE ORIGINAL LISTING FOR CAPITAL EQUIPMENT DUE TO A FORMULA ERROR, AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE ADDING 
          [01:00:03]
BACK TO THE BUDGET FOR THAT. AND THEN FINALLY THERE WITHIN THE CAPITAL EQUIPMENT FUND, THERE IS AN INCREASE RELATED TO A PURCHASE OF A POLICE MOBILE COMMAND CENTER TO BE USED DURING CITY EVENTS AND VARIOUS LAW ENFORCEMENT EMERGENCIES. AND I BELIEVE THAT CHIEF WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THAT FOR YOU. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. AND THEN WITHIN THE OAK GROVE TWO INFRASTRUCTURE FUND, THERE'S ONE MORE PROJECT THAT WE'RE INCREASING FOR, AND THAT IS THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT MINK AND INNOVATION CAMPUS INNOVATION WAY PROJECT. AND THAT WILL ALSO HAVE FUNDING THAT IS CONTRIBUTED FROM ANOTHER SOURCE TO REPAY THAT APPROPRIATION. IN OAK GROVE. 
          TWO, WE ORIGINALLY PAID AND WE ORIGINALLY HAD A TRANSFER IN THERE TO PROVIDE FOR THE BRISCOE PARKWAY PORTION OF THE NEW BOND THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PAYING OFF. AND THIS ALSO PROVIDES FOR AN INCREASE TO COMPLETELY PAY THAT OFF WITH AN ADVANCE THAT WE'RE SENDING FROM THE GENERAL FUND. THOSE ARE THE APPROPRIATIONS. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE APPROPRIATIONS? THAT'S A LOT. THE FINAL SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR. THEY JUST AUTHORIZE THE ACTUAL TRANSFER OF FUNDS FROM GENERAL FUND AND ADVANCE OF $4 MILLION ALSO TO THE OAK GROVE, TWO THAT WILL BE PAID BACK, ANTICIPATED TO BE PAID BACK WITH INCOME TAX COLLECTIONS NEXT YEAR. AND THEN ALSO IT AUTHORIZES THE TRANSFER OUT OF THE GENERAL OR OUT OF THE OAK GROVE TO FUND TO THE BONDS FUND IN ORDER TO PAY THAT NOTE OFF. A LOT OF NOTE RELATED APPROPRIATION ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE ARE INCLUDING IN THIS. IN ADDITION, LIKE I MENTIONED WITH THE DETAIL THAT I PROVIDED YOU THE FINAL TWO PAGES, IF YOU WANT TO REVIEW THAT. OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR IT THAT DETAILS THE FUND, WHAT EFFECT THAT ALL OF THESE ADJUSTMENTS HAVE ON EACH FUND BALANCE, AND THEN THE REMAINING BALANCE AVAILABLE FOR A FUTURE APPROPRIATION? A LOT OF INFO. YEAH. I CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN LEARNING A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE VEHICLE THAT THE CHIEF WAS PROPOSING. SO WE HAVE A SPECIAL ADDITIONAL PRESENTATION ON THAT, AS WELL AS A PRESENTATION ON THE PROPOSED ADDITIONS TO THE POLICE STATION. I THINK ANYTHING OVER $1 MILLION GETS A PRESENTATION, RIGHT. ANYTHING OVER $1 MILLION SHOULD GET A PRESENTATION. WELL, I CAN SELL IT MORE DIFFICULT. HE DEFINITELY GAVE ME SOME. WHERE'S YOUR TIE? YEAH, I KNOW, I THOUGHT ABOUT IT. I THINK UNIFORM WORKS. WELL, JUST. SO I THINK THE, THE, THE TITLE OF THE VEHICLE KIND OF GIVES EVERYBODY AN IDEA OF ITS INTENDED USE. BUT THE PRIMARY USE IS TO HAVE A VEHICLE THAT YOU CAN BRING UNIFIED COMMAND UNDER. BASICALLY WHAT THIS IS, IS IT'S KIND OF SIMPLIFY. IT IS THAT IT ALLOWS US TO HAVE THE WORKSPACE, THE TECHNOLOGY, THE SOFTWARE, AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE NEEDED TO HANDLE CRISIS, LARGE EVENTS OR CRITICAL INCIDENTS AND BRING THEM TO THE SCENE. THE REASON I HAVE A PICTURE UP THERE IS ONE IS THAT WE MET WITH FARMER SPECIALTY VEHICLES, WHICH IS THE VENDOR THAT'S IN THE AREA THAT BUILDS THESE. WE'RE FORTUNATE THAT THEY'RE ONE OF 3 OR 4 IN THE COUNTRY THAT DO THIS ON A LARGE SCALE, AND WE WERE ABLE TO SIT DOWN WITH THEM TO GET A MORE PRECISE QUOTE. AND THEY WANTED TO BASICALLY HAVE A BUILD MEETING. SO OUT OF THAT BUILD MEETING, ESSENTIALLY, THIS IS FRANKLY, OUR LICKING COUNTY'S MOBILE COMMAND POST. IF PURCHASED, OURS WILL LOOK VERY SIMILAR TO THAT. WE'VE ACTUALLY USED THAT A FEW TIMES IN THE CITY, BUT I'M GOING TO SHOW A LAYOUT OF FLOOR PLAN OF THE VEHICLE, THE PROPOSED VEHICLE. BUT I WANTED TO POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT ARE EASIER TO SEE ON THE PHOTO THAN THERE ARE ON THE FLOOR PLAN. ONE OF THE THINGS IS UP ON THE BOX ABOVE THE DOOR BETWEEN THE TWO LIGHTS. THERE THERE'S A CYLINDER THAT RUNS ACROSS THE TOP. THOSE ARE AWNINGS. SO THERE'D BE AN AWNING ON BOTH SIDES SO THAT NOT ONLY CAN YOU WORK INSIDE, BUT WEATHER PERMITTING, YOU CAN WORK UNDER THE AWNINGS OF THE VEHICLE. THERE'S ALSO BETWEEN THE DOOR ACCESS ON THE SIDE AND THE KING COUNTY SHERIFF DECAL. 
          YOU'LL SEE TWO PANELS THAT OPEN UP. THAT'S AN OUTSIDE WORKSTATION. SO IF YOU'RE TRYING TO SHOW ASSIGNMENTS OR A BUILDING LAYOUT, BUILDING PLANS OR GOOGLE EARTH OR WHATEVER TO A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT THAT OBVIOUSLY WOULDN'T FIT IN THAT VEHICLE, THAT YOU CAN DO SO. 
          [01:05:03]
THIS IS A PICTURE NOT OF LICKING COUNTY'S VEHICLE AND NOT OF THE VEHICLE THAT WE WOULD PROPOSE, BUT IT KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA. ONE OF THE BIG PARTS OF THE VEHICLE, THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IS ESSENTIALLY A CONFERENCE ROOM WITH WORKSTATIONS. SO THIS GIVES YOU AN IDEA. I THINK THIS PICTURE IS PROBABLY BIGGER THAN WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, BUT IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA THAT THERE'S A WORKSTATION ON THE RIGHT, THERE'S A CONFERENCE TABLE WITH WITH CHAIRS, AND THEN ON THE LEFT THERE'S A FOLD DOWN SEAT WITH FOLD DOWN TABLES SO THAT YOU CAN WORK. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE FOUND IS THAT WE NEED THE WORKSTATIONS THAT ARE, THAT ARE OUT OF THE ELEMENTS THAT YOU CAN MEET AND TALK WITH THE FIRST RESPONDERS AND THE PEOPLE THAT NEED TO BE INVOLVED, AND ALSO HAVE ROOM FOR WRITING SEARCH WARRANTS AND WORKING ON TRACKING PEOPLE DOWN. SO THIS HAS SLIDERS LIKE A CAMPER. YEAH, YEAH. THIS WHAT'S PROPOSED IN THE DESIGN? THAT'S TWO SLIDERS. YOU CAN SEE THE SEAM. AND SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. AND I'LL YOU CAN SEE THAT ON THE DESIGN AS WELL. LET'S SEE. YES. SO THIS IS THE LAYOUT THAT I HANDED OUT TO YOU GUYS TO KIND OF GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW. IF YOU WANT TO START IN THE MIDDLE. IT'S AN OVERHEAD SHOT OF THE PROPOSED VEHICLE. YOU CAN SEE THE TWO SLIDERS INDICATED THERE IN WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IN THIS PRELIMINARY DESIGN IS TO HAVE TWO WORKSTATIONS ON THAT SLIDER ON THE TOP, THAT FOLD DOWN FLIP UP CHAIRS AND FOLD DOWN TABLES. 
          THERE'S A CONFERENCE TABLE IN THE MIDDLE AND THEN A BENCH SEAT SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU SAW IN THAT PHOTO ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. SO THAT ALONE GIVES YOU 8 TO 10 SPACES WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME IN AND THEN DO ALL THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. IF YOU GO FORWARD FROM THAT, YOU'LL SEE THE DOOR ON THE ON THE LOWER PART OF THE MIDDLE THERE, AND THEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE, THAT SLIDER THERE, THAT'S JUST TWO WORKSTATIONS. TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, THE NIGHT OF THE SHOOTING IN FEBRUARY, DETECTIVES WERE WORKING OUT OF OUR DRONE TRAILER. THERE WASN'T ROOM IN LICKING COUNTY'S COMMAND POST WRITING SEARCH WARRANTS FOR THE VARIOUS ADDRESSES THAT WE HAD FOR THE SUSPECT. AND THEN ON THE ON THE OTHER SIDE BEHIND THE PASSENGER, THE OF THE VEHICLE, PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE'S ANOTHER CHAIR THERE YOU SEE IN BLUE. AND THAT'S THE WHAT'S CALLED A TACTICAL DISPATCHER POSITION. SO WITH THE WITH THE SITUATION LIKE THAT, IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE EVERYBODY THAT RESPONDS, MOVE THEM TO A STATE CHANNEL THAT WE COULD HAVE EVERYBODY WORKING ON THE SAME CHANNEL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WORK WELL AS A GROUP, AND THEN ALSO HAVE ONE DISPATCHER THAT HANDLES THAT. SO WE CAN HAVE A DISPATCHER SIT IN THERE, MOVE EVERYBODY THAT CHANNEL AND BE THE DISPATCHER FOR THEM. ALSO, THE DISPATCHERS, THEY'RE VERY PROFICIENT AT WHAT THEY DO. AS FAR AS A LOT OF THE SOFTWARE THAT THE DEPARTMENT USE AND THEY'RE GREAT RESOURCE, THEY CAN INTERACT WITH THE INCIDENT COMMANDER OR OTHER PEOPLE INVOLVED TO AND PREVENT THAT PHONE CALL TO THE STATION RADIO TRAFFIC, AND THEY CAN BE A GREAT RESOURCE FOR INVESTIGATIONS. THE IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE. THE VEHICLE THAT OR THE VERSION THAT'S UPSIDE DOWN, IF YOU LOOK TO THE LEFT OF THAT, THAT'S THAT SCREEN THAT WOULD BE ON THE OUTSIDE LIKE LICKING COUNTIES. IT SHOWED. THAT'S JUST SHOWING THAT IT WOULD BE ON THE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THAT UPSIDE DOWN VEHICLE, THERE'S A PICTURE OF A WORKSTATION, ESSENTIALLY AN OUTSIDE COMPUTER. AND ALSO THE CONTROLS FOR THE VEHICLE. SO IT COULD BE THE JACKS, THE HYDRAULICS, THE AWNINGS, THE LIGHTING, BUT THAT'S ALSO AVAILABLE ON THE OUTSIDE. SO, YOU KNOW, COMMON USES I THINK PROBABLY A LOT OF THEM ARE ARE KIND OF PREDICTABLE. BUT ANYTIME THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR A UNIFIED COMMAND AND I'LL GO OVER A COUPLE OF THAT WE'VE HAD MORE RECENTLY. BUT ANYTIME YOU BRING MULTIPLE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TOGETHER, FIRE COULD BE FEDERAL AUTHORITIES. IT COULD BE SOMEBODY THAT'S FAMILIAR WITH THE FACILITY THAT'S HAVING THE CRISIS, COULD BE ELECTED OFFICIALS, CITY MANAGER, JOSH'S PEOPLE, ALL THAT THAT CAN WORK IN AN AREA THAT THAT'S THAT'S SHELTERED FROM, FROM THE ELEMENTS, GIVES THEM A WORKSPACE TO WORK AND BRINGS THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WE ENJOY. THE STATION BRINGS IT OUT TO THE FIELD. THE VENDOR THAT I MENTIONED A COUPLE OF TIMES, WE MET WITH THEM A FEW TIMES. IT'S SPECIALTY VEHICLES THERE IN REYNOLDSBURG. WE MET WITH THEM TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE VEHICLES AND OBVIOUSLY WHAT THE DESIGN. THEY'VE BEEN MAKING MOBILE COMMAND VEHICLES FOR 40 YEARS. AND THEY TURNED ABOUT TURN OUT ABOUT 14 TO 16 UNITS PER MONTH TO VARIOUS AGENCIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. IN CENTRAL OHIO, WE SENT OUT A WE WERE ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS, WELL, HOW MANY SUBURBAN TYPE AGENCIES WOULD HAVE THESE TYPE OF VEHICLES? SO WE SENT OUT A REQUEST TO A LOT OF THE SUBURBS. NOT EVERYBODY RESPONDED, BUT OF THE ONES THAT DID RESPOND, FIVE OF THEM HAVE A SIMILAR VEHICLE IN THEIR FLEET. OBVIOUSLY, FRANKLIN COUNTY 
          [01:10:01]
SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND CPD MAY HAVE MORE THAN ONE FLEET. THAT'S KIND OF ASSUMED. AND ALSO ANY PURCHASE THAT WOULD BE MADE WOULD BE MADE UNDER STATE CONTRACT. SO OUR EXPERIENCE WITH ASKING ASSISTANCE FROM SOMEBODY WITH A MOBILE COMMAND VEHICLE HAS BEEN VARIED. OBVIOUSLY, THE MASS SHOOTING WE HAD IN FEBRUARY WAS A GOOD EXAMPLE. BOTH SHERIFFS THEMSELVES SHOWED UP AT THE SCENE, WERE VERY HELPFUL. THEIR STAFF WAS AMAZING. SHERIFF THORPE ASKED, WE NEED ANYTHING ELSE. WE ASK FOR THEIR MOBILE COMMAND VEHICLE AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS THERE WITHIN FIVE MINUTES. I'M SURE IT WAS A LOT LONGER THAN THAT, BUT THAT WAS A HUGE HELP. IT WAS. THIS IS NOT THE NORMAL. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT A NORMAL SITUATION FOR US. SO THIS SCENE WAS MASSIVE. THE VEHICLE ITSELF, WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO HAVE ONE PERSON IN THERE WORKING TO TRY TO LOCATE THIS PERSON. THERE WAS DEPUTIES IN THERE. OBVIOUSLY IT'S THEIR VEHICLE. ATF SHOWED UP, BCI SHOWED UP. SO THAT VEHICLE QUICKLY BECAME OVERWHELMED. AND IT WAS NOT REALLY A HUGE FOCUS FOR OUR STAFF TO WORK. OUR DRONE TRAILER WAS A BIGGER PART, PROVIDING OFFICE SPACE FOR US TO WORK. SERGEANT DECKER, WHO WAS THE SCENE COMMANDER, WAS WORKING OUT OF THE BACK OF HIS SUV. AND SO BETWEEN THE DRONE TRAILER, THE MOBILE COMMAND VEHICLE WHERE I WAS, WHERE I WAS, JOSH AND JOE, WE WERE SPREAD OUT THROUGHOUT THE SCENE. AND IN HINDSIGHT, THAT CAUSED US A LITTLE BIT OF PROBLEMS. IN AN OVERVIEW, EVERYTHING WENT REALLY WELL THAT NIGHT. HOWEVER, WHEN WE DID AN AFTER ACTION, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT BECAUSE THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE DEAL WITH ON A REGULAR BASIS. WITHIN WEEKS OF THAT, WE HAD A GUY THAT GOT FIRED FROM ONE OF OUR LARGER EMPLOYERS, AND HE HAD MADE CREDIBLE THREATS TO COME BACK AND SHOOT HIS BOSS AND OTHER PEOPLE AT THE SITE. WE IMMEDIATELY GOT AN ARREST WARRANT TO TAKE HIM INTO CUSTODY. THAT DIDN'T GO SO WELL. WE HE TURNED INTO A BARRICADE SITUATION IMMEDIATELY WHEN WE TRIED TO MAKE CONTACT WITH HIM, WE CALLED COLUMBUS SWAT, WHO CAME TO THE SCENE. THEY DID A GREAT JOB THERE. MOBILE COMMAND VEHICLE WAS REALLY TAKEN UP WITH THE NEGOTIATOR, UNDERSTANDABLY, AND THEIR PERSONNEL. BUT THEY DID A GREAT JOB. THE NEGOTIATOR TALKED TO HIM FOR PROBABLY A COUPLE HOURS WHEN IT REACHED A DEAD END. SWAT TEAM DID A GREAT JOB BRINGING HIM INTO CUSTODY WITHOUT BEING INJURED. BUT THAT WAS THE TEMPERATURE THAT NIGHT WAS BELOW 20. SO MYSELF, A COUPLE SERGEANTS AND DETECTIVES WERE WERE WORKING FROM OUR VEHICLE. SO JUST KIND OF GIVES YOU AN EXAMPLE OF A SITUATION WHERE WE MIGHT, MIGHT WANT TO USE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. LASTLY, DURING THE FORMER PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN'S VISIT TO NEW ALBANY IN 2022, THAT SAME VEHICLE, THE LINCOLN COUNTY SHERIFF'S MOBILE COMMAND VEHICLE, WAS BROUGHT TO THE SCENE. THE SECRET SERVICE WORKED OUT OF THAT. THEY PRETTY MUCH TOOK UP THE ENTIRE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND MYSELF, LINCOLN COUNTY AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WORKED OUT OF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT WORKED OUT GREAT. THERE WAS PROTESTERS THAT WE DEALT WITH. SOME WERE INTOXICATED. A DRONE THAT WASN'T AUTHORIZED TO FLY IN THE AREA, AND HAVING EVERYBODY THAT REPRESENTED FROM ALL THE AGENCIES INVOLVED REALLY HELPED TO STREAMLINE THE RESPONSE TO THAT. ANY QUESTIONS? CHIEF, THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THAT VEHICLE IS ABOUT 25 YEARS. YEAH, 25 PLUS YEARS. IT'S ALSO UPGRADEABLE. SO THE BOX, THE CHASSIS AND THE CAB REALLY WOULD WOULD BE EXPECTED TO BE FINE AS TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES THAT WOULD BE NEEDED CAN BE EASILY TAKEN BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER AND INSTALLED AND CHANGED. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T HAVE A NEED FOR? BUT I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE A GREAT NEED. IS IT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO A SHARED RESOURCE WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES, OR DOES IT MAKE MORE SENSE TO. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT COST OF THIS, AND IS IT A MUST HAVE OR WANT TO HAVE? IT'S DEFINITELY IT'S DEFINITELY A WANT. IT'S TO IMPROVE OUR RESPONSE TO CRITICAL INCIDENTS. IT'S NOT ONLY, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING LIKE THE SHOOTING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT CRASH TRAFFIC CRASH INVESTIGATION. SO WHAT'S PROPOSED IS ON THE TOP OF THIS TO HAVE A MASK THAT WOULD GO UP, IT HAS A CAMERA ON TOP THAT ZOOMS. IT ALSO HAS A SCENE LIGHTING WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO LIKE SMALL STADIUM LIGHTING. SO GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE. MOST OF THE FATALS AND BAD ACCIDENTS THAT WE HAVE ARE AT NIGHT. SO WE OFTEN ASK FIRE DEPARTMENTS TO COME OVER AND LIGHT THE SCENE UP SO THAT WE CAN WORK AND INVESTIGATE THE SCENE OVERNIGHT. THIS WOULD HAVE ITS OWN SCENE LIGHTING AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, GOING IN JOINTLY. THERE'S NOBODY THAT REALLY THAT IS IN THE MARKET TO PURCHASE ONE OF THOSE. SO WE 
          [01:15:03]
WOULD BE COVERED WHAT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER. WE HAVE A COUNTY WIDE MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT WITH ALL JURISDICTIONS IN FRANKLIN COUNTY AND LINCOLN COUNTY. AND SO LIKE LINCOLN COUNTY PROVIDED THIS TO US, WE WOULD DO THE SAME FOR ANOTHER JURISDICTION. SO THIS WOULD BE PART OF THE MUTUAL AID MUTUAL SOMETHING IN JOHNSTOWN OR LINCOLN COUNTY. AND LINCOLN COUNTY WOULD NEED A COMMAND CENTER. WE WOULD PUT THAT ON SITE. YEAH. IS THIS ARMORED IN ANY WAY? NO, NO, NO. THIS OKAY. SO IT'S NOT ARMORED. IT'S NOT EXPECTED TO BE IN HARM'S WAY. IT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A LITTLE BIT OFF SITE OR A LITTLE BIT DISTANCE FROM WHATEVER'S GOING ON. CHIEF, WOULD THERE BE A NEED FOR THIS AT, SAY, LIKE, 4TH OF JULY COMING UP? LIKE, WOULD YOU NEED A COMMAND CENTER AT SOME OF THE PUBLIC EVENTS LIKE OKTOBERFEST AND THROUGHOUT THE YEAR? YEAH. SO WE ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT THAT. SO THE 4TH OF JULY IS A GOOD EXAMPLE. SO WE DO SET UP A BIT OF A COMMAND POST. IT'S GENERALLY OUTSIDE. IT'S A BACK OF A CRUISER. IT'S THE DRONE TRAILER. WE WOULD CERTAINLY IF WE HAD IT WE WOULD CERTAINLY USE IT FOR LARGE EVENTS LIKE THAT. SO BASICALLY YOU CAN TAKE THE DRONE FOOTAGE, YOU CAN PUT THAT IN, YOU KNOW, PIPE THAT INTO THE VEHICLE AND THEN YOU CAN MANAGE THE TRAFFIC, THE, THE, THE RESPONSE TO ANY TYPE OF SITUATION FROM, FROM THE MOBILE COMMAND VEHICLE. IS THIS LIKE FIRE TRUCKS WHERE IT'S LIKE A THREE YEAR LEAD TIME OR IT'S 18 MONTHS? OKAY. SO YEAH, LIKE HAVING THOSE COMMAND CENTERS SHOWN AT A PUBLIC EVENT LIKE 4TH OF JULY, IT SHOWS THAT THERE'S A STRONG PRESENCE THERE. YEAH. SO WE AND OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T HAVE ONE. SO WE WOULD YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE AT IT. BUT WE'RE WE HAVEN'T REALLY DECIDED WHICH ONES THEY WOULD BE AT. SO I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT BENEFIT, YOU KNOW, WITH OHIO WEATHER, IF NOTHING ELSE, IT'S GOOD TO HAVE A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN WORK AND GET THAT WORK DONE. OUTSIDE OF THE ELEMENTS. DO YOU HAVE A PLACE TO PARK IT? SERVICE DEPARTMENT? YEAH, YEAH. SO THAT PIECE OF THE PRESENTATION IS COMING UP NEXT. BUT THE YOU MENTIONED THE COST OF THE VEHICLE. WE BELIEVE THE COST WILL BE SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF ABOUT 1.2, 1.3 MILLION. SO OVER A 25 YEAR LIFE EXPECTANCY, YOU'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT $50,000 A YEAR. YEAH. WE TOLD STEVE THAT AT TIMES IT WASN'T. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE FOR SURE. I AGREE, I THINK, AND I REALLY, LIKE CASEY, POINTED OUT, THE IDEA OF HAVING THAT PRESENCE AT BIG EVENTS. BIG PUBLIC EVENTS WOULD BE REALLY NICE TO. I MEAN, I'M ENVISIONING SOME OF THE HARD CLOSURES THAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE ANYWAY. YOU KNOW, THIS VEHICLE COULD BECOME ONE OF THOSE HARD CLOSURES, AND IT SERVES A DUAL PURPOSE. AND IT GIVES PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, A POLICE PRESENCE THERE. IT MAKES ME FEEL A LITTLE BIT SAFER. YEAH. AND THROUGHOUT THE EVENTS, THIS IS A MORE MINOR TYPE OF THING. BUT THROUGHOUT EVENTS PEOPLE APPROACH OFFICERS. AND WHETHER IT BE WE ALWAYS SAY LOST PARENT BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THE PARENTS ARE THE ONES MORE MISSING THAN THE CHILD AND THESE EVENTS. BUT IT GIVES A RALLYING POINT FOR PEOPLE THAT CAN EASILY FIND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. IT COULD BE A GOOD PUBLIC. I'M LOOKING FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT LIKE YOU PRIDE IT UP TO THE FARMERS MARKET. YEAH, AND WE COULD HAVE THE POLICE THERE JUST TO SHOW FOLKS THAT THE COMMAND CENTER HAVE A GOOD PRESENCE THERE. BUT IT'D BE GOOD FOR PUBLIC RELATIONS AS WELL IF YOU WOULD HAVE SOME PRESENCE WITH THAT THERE. YEAH. AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CONTACTED OTHER AGENCIES. WE LEARNED QUITE A BIT. DUBLIN, FOR EXAMPLE, HAS BASICALLY A ESSENTIALLY A TRAVEL TRAILER THAT THEY USE. THEY BOUGHT IT A LONG TIME AGO. IT REALLY NEVER WORKED OUT. IT WAS NOT DESIGNED TO BE A MOBILE COMMAND POST. IT DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY OR THE FEATURES THAT THEY NEEDED. SO IT WAS TURNED OUT TO BE MORE OF A PLACE THAT OFFICERS GO IN TO GET BATTERIES, WALKIE BATTERIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND SUPPLIES. THEY'VE SINCE GUTTED IT. IT'S JUST BASICALLY AN EMPTY SHELL AT THIS POINT, AND THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO FROM. FROM THIS POINT, I COULD SEE IT BEING USED FOR PUBLIC RELATIONS A LOT. I MEAN, NOT ITS MAIN PURPOSE, OF COURSE, BUT WE HAVE CRIME WATCH MEETINGS AND YEAH, I HAD I HAD LONG SAW THE BENEFITS, WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT TO PROPOSE BUYING ONE AS OF JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. BUT SEEING THE OTHER BENEFITS, YOU KNOW, WE THOUGHT WE COULD ALWAYS BORROW ONE. BUT WHAT WE FOUND IS BORROWING ONE MEANS THAT HALF OF THE VEHICLES IS HAS THE JURISDICTION THAT OWNS IT IS IN THAT IN THAT SPACE. AND THEN OTHER STAFF FILL UP THE REST. SO IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING I THOUGHT WITH MUTUAL AID THAT WE COULD DO. BUT IN IN PRACTICE IT'S NOT REALLY WORKED OUT. WELL. THEY'VE BEEN A BENEFIT TO HAVE ON THE SCENE, BUT REALLY DIDN'T LIVE UP TO WHAT WE ENVISIONED USING IT FOR. YEAH, YEAH, I THINK THERE'S 
          [01:20:01]
OBVIOUSLY ALL THE PUBLIC RELATIONS OPPORTUNITIES, BUT I THINK GIVEN THE SHOOTING THAT WE HAD AND OTHER INCIDENTS, THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT NOW AND WE HAVE AVAILABLE AND SOMETHING HAPPENS, NOT AFTER THE FACT. YEAH. AND I THINK IT'S A IT'S A WISE INVESTMENT FOR THE CITY FOR MULTIPLE REASONS AND NOT TO RELY ON ANOTHER COMMUNITY. IT'S GOT OUR EQUIPMENT, OUR PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO USE IT. AND I THINK IT'S A SMART THING TO DO. YEAH, YEAH I AGREE I AGREE. CHIEF. CAN IT TOW A PART OF JOHN. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I SAY THAT BECAUSE YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW I HAVE SOME SMART ALECK QUESTIONS, BUT, YOU KNOW, GOING BACK TO THE INCIDENT AT KDC, WE QUICKLY REALIZED THAT THAT'S ACTUALLY AN IMPORTANT FEATURE AT A SCENE LIKE THAT. 
          YEAH, WE HAD A DESIGNATED SPOT, WE HAD A DESIGNATED SPOT, AND IT WAS WELL USED TO THE POINT WHERE I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOME KIND OF ISSUE IN THAT AREA. AND SO WE ACTUALLY WERE DISCOURAGED FROM PUTTING A BATHROOM IN. AND SO THEY SAID THE UPKEEP AND THE MAINTENANCE AND IT'S EXPENSIVE REAL ESTATE TO TAKE THAT UP WITH A BATHROOM. THEY WOULD JUST NOT. THEY SAID, HEY, IF YOU'RE MORE OF AN URBAN AREA, YOU CAN OFTEN FIND PLACES TO GO, GO BACK TO THE STATION AT WORST. YOU KNOW, I THINK BACK TO ONE OF THE ARGUMENTS FOR HAVING ONE WAS WE HAD A FATAL THAT WE WERE WORKING AND A FEMALE OFFICER NEEDED TO USE A RESTROOM, ACTUALLY WENT UP TO A HOUSE, AND THE RESIDENT WAS VERY NICE AND ACCOMMODATING, GAVE HER, OFFERED HER FOOD AND SOMETHING TO DRINK AS WELL. SO THERE'S USUALLY A PLAN B THAT IF WE NEED TO USE A RESTROOM, WE CAN WE CAN DO THAT. YEAH. SO NO PORTA JOHN. WELL I MEAN IT COULD WELL ACTUALLY WE, WE GOT SO WE, WE HAD THAT DESIGN MEETING AND WE STARTED GOING THROUGH AND, AND TAKING OFF SOME THINGS WE THOUGHT WE COULD LIVE WITHOUT. 
          AND IT DID, THEY DID PUT A HITCH ON THE BACK OF IT, WHICH WE KIND OF INITIALLY THOUGHT, WELL, WE'LL JUST WE CAN USE A DIFFERENT VEHICLE FOR TOWING. BUT IF PORTA JOHN, WE MIGHT HAVE TO ADD THAT BACK IN. YEAH, THAT MIGHT TAKE AWAY FROM THE LOOK. WELL IT'S FUNNY YOU. WITH JOHN BEING THE BIGGEST PROPONENT OF HAVING A BATHROOM WAS LIEUTENANT DANIELS. AND IT REALLY TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET HIM OFF OF THAT TOPIC. GOOD ENOUGH. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON ORDINANCE 29? ALL RIGHT THEN WE WILL SET THAT FOR SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AT OUR MEETING ON JULY 15TH. THANKS, CHIEF. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. RESOLUTIONS ON PUBLIC 
          [12. RESOLUTIONS AND PUBLIC HEARING]
HEARING RESOLUTION R 21, 2025, A RESOLUTION GRANTING A NON-EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO SERVE TO LOOKING RURAL ELECTRIFICATION, INC, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNEES, PROVIDING IT THE RIGHT TO ACQUIRE, CONSTRUCT, MAINTAIN AND OPERATE WITHIN THE CORPORATE BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. AS SUCH, BOUNDARIES CURRENTLY EXIST OR MAY EXIST IN THE FUTURE. LINES FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRIC ENERGY TO NEW ALBANY AND THE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES THEREOF FOR LIGHT, HEAT, POWER, AND OTHER ELECTRIC ENERGY PURPOSES. THANK YOU MAYOR. THIS RESOLUTION CAME ABOUT AS A CONTACT FROM COUNSEL FOR THE LICKING RURAL ELECTRIFICATION, INC, JOSEPH BECKMANN FROM BAKER HOSTETLER, WHO'S HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT MAY ARISE. BUT HISTORICALLY, THE CITY HAS TREATED LICKING RURAL ELECTRIC IN THE OHIO POWER COMPANY CONSISTENTLY WITH RESPECT TO ITS FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RIGHTS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES. THERE'S BEEN A LONG EVOLVING HISTORY ABOUT WHAT THOSE RIGHTS ARE. BUT IN A NUTSHELL, THE LICKING RURAL ELECTRIC GOT A CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION WITHIN THE CITY IN NOVEMBER OF 2020, THINKING IT WAS GOING TO BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THE CITY WAS DOING FOR THE OHIO POWER COMPANY. SUBSEQUENT TO THAT, THE OHIO POWER COMPANY HAD SOME RIGHTS, NON-EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES GRANTED TO IT PURSUANT TO A CITY RESOLUTION, RESOLUTION R 37, 2020, THAT PROVIDED A FEW DIFFERENT RIGHTS THAN WHAT THE LICKING RURAL ELECTRIC WAS RECEIVING UNDER ITS CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION. AS A RESULT OF SOME OF THOSE DISCREPANCIES, MR. BECKMANN REACHED OUT AND ASKED THE CITY TO. ENACT THIS RESOLUTION THAT WOULD ALLOW THE CITY TO TREAT IT CONSISTENTLY WITH OHIO POWER COMPANY, WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE CITY'S COMMITMENT AND PLAN FROM THE 15, 20 YEARS AGO WHEN THEY STARTED DOING SOME OF THESE THINGS. SO THE RESOLUTION IS, IS, IS MERELY IDENTICAL TO WHAT THE CITY PASSED IN 2020. FOR THE OHIO POWER COMPANY, THERE ARE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS BASED UPON TIMING THAT'S COME DOWN THE PIKE. BUT THE AGAIN, THE HOPE WOULD BE TO TREAT THE TWO ENTITIES CONSISTENTLY WITH THEIR NON-EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO SERVE. AND WITH THAT, I'LL INTRODUCE MR. BECKMANN AND ALLOW HIM TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE IF YOU WANT TO GO TO 
          [01:25:07]
THE PODIUM. THANK YOU, COUNCILOR. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING SIR. SO AS AS MR. ALBRECHT SAID, I'M JOE BECKMANN, PARTNER WITH BAKER AND HOSTETLER, OUR CLIENT, LICKING RURAL ELECTRIFICATION. AND SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON ON THIS RESOLUTION. IS THIS ALLOW FOR FREER COMPETITION BETWEEN THE TWO ENTITIES OR WHAT IS THIS WHERE DO WHERE DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU'RE YOU'RE DISADVANTAGED. IS THIS A YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO COMPETE AS. SO AS WE'RE REALLY LOOKING TO HAVE MIRRORING RIGHTS AS TO BOTH ELECTRIC UTILITIES OR SERVING NEW ALBANY. AND SO THERE'S NO ISSUE. THERE'S REALLY NO QUESTION AROSE JUST RECENTLY, IT REALLY CAME TO OUR ATTENTION WHEN. I THINK A, A NEW DEVELOPMENT REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER HAD WAS LOOKING AT OHIO POWER AND LICKING RURAL. I THINK THEY WERE BOTH KIND OF IN THE SUBDIVISION. AND SO WE PROVIDED OUR DOCUMENTATION, AP PROVIDED THEIRS. IT LOOKED A LITTLE LIKE WE WERE NOT AT THE SAME LEVEL. AND SO IT WAS REALLY IT'S REALLY JUST A MATTER OF WE JUST WANT, YOU KNOW, THE SAME MIRRORING RIGHTS AS, AS OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR POWER COMPANY. AND GOING BACK TO SOME OF THE INFORMATION MR. BECKMANN PROVIDED US GOING BACK TO 2010, THERE HAS BEEN LEGISLATION ENACTED FOR BOTH COMPANIES THAT HAVE EFFECTIVELY MIRRORED ONE ANOTHER WITH RESPECT TO THE RIGHTS AND, AGAIN, THEIR NON-EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS, BUT THEIR CONSISTENT RIGHTS FOR THE TWO, FOR THE TWO COMPANIES. BUT IT REALLY HAS NOT IMPACTED THE BUSINESS FOR NOT AT THIS POINT. OKAY. CAN YOU HELP US UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHO ARE YOUR CUSTOMERS WITHIN THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY TODAY, AND WHAT THE PLANS WOULD BE FOR PROVIDING POWER TO FUTURE CUSTOMERS? SO REALLY, OUR CUSTOMERS NOT TO GET DELVE INTO THE HISTORY, BUT. THE CUSTOMERS OF LICKING RURAL ELECTRIC WERE THE CUSTOMERS IN ITS CERTIFIED TERRITORY BACK WHEN THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY DID NOT HAVE THE REACH, IT DID TODAY. YOU KNOW, BACK 80 YEARS AGO, AS YOU KNOW, WE SERVED THE RURAL ELECTRIC. FARMERS WHOSE PROPERTY NOW IS WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITY. AND SO THE NEW ALBANY HAS A MUNICIPALITY, HAS THE AUTHORITY TO EITHER PROVIDE ITS OWN ELECTRIC OR TO GRANT FRANCHISES TO. AND THAT'S UNDER THE OHIO CONSTITUTION. SO OUR CUSTOMERS, YOU KNOW, WOULD BE THOSE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE INTEL PROPERTY THAT WAS IN LICKING RURAL, MORE OR LESS CERTIFIED TERRITORY. SO NOW IT'S IN NEW ALBANY MUNICIPALITY. SO NOW WE SERVE THOSE CUSTOMERS, OUR MEMBERS, THROUGH A FRANCHISE ARRANGEMENT. DO YOU GENERATE POWER? NO, WE'RE JUST AN ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION CO-OP. ALL RIGHT. AND WHERE DO YOU RECEIVE THE POWER GENERATION? SO ACTUALLY THE ALL OF THE 24 RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES IN OHIO OWNED ITS OWN GENERATION FACILITY, WHICH IS BUCKEYE POWER IS THE NAME. BUT THE POWER GENERATING IS ON THE. EASTERN OHIO. SO THAT'S THE G.A. YEAH. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE RESOLUTION. ALL RIGHT. WELL WE CERTAINLY HAVE A LOT OF DEMAND FOR ELECTRICITY. SO THE MORE THE MERRIER. IT'S NOT DECREASING. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU I WILL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE FOR THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING RESOLUTION R 21 2025? HEARING? NO COMMENT. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE RESOLUTION? I MOVE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION R 21 2025 SECOND. COUNCIL MEMBER KISS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DETRICK. 
          YES. MAYOR. SPALDING. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. BRUCE. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. I HAVE FIVE YES. VOTES TO APPROVE RESOLUTION R 21 2025. THANK YOU FOR STICKING WITH US TO THAT FAR IN THE MEETING. YOU'RE FREE TO LEAVE IF YOU HAVE OTHER PLANS FOR THE FOR THE NIGHT. MR. BECKMAN, MY APOLOGIES. I MISSED YOUR FIRST NAME. THANK YOU JOE, THANK YOU. RESOLUTION R 22, 2025 A RESOLUTION APPROVING AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH NO TO MASTER DEVELOPMENT, LLC. MR. CHRISTIAN. YES. THIS RESOLUTION AUTHORIZES THE CITY MANAGER TO 
          [01:30:04]
EXECUTE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT KNOWN AS MASTER DEVELOPMENT, LLC, WHICH IS THE DEVELOPMENT GROUP THAT'S WORKING ON THE HAMLET PROJECT AT 605 AND CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD. THE AGREEMENT ESTABLISHES A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP TO CONSTRUCT SEVERAL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL ENHANCE THE STREETSCAPE AND CHARACTER OF 605, THE 6 TO 5 CORRIDOR FROM CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD SOUTH TO WALTON PARKWAY. IN 2023, THE CITY HOSTED SEVERAL FOCUS GROUP SESSIONS WITH AREA RESIDENTS. WE CALL IT. SEVERAL COUNCIL MEMBERS ATTENDED THOSE SESSIONS WITH US. IN THOSE SESSIONS, WE IDENTIFIED A LIST OF SEVERAL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL ENHANCE THE PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE AND PROMOTE VEHICULAR SAFETY. IN THIS INTERSECTION, SPECIFICALLY WAS HEAVILY DISCUSSED DURING THE SESSIONS. AS A RESULT OF THAT COLLABORATION, THE DEVELOPER WORKED TO INCORPORATE SEVERAL OF THOSE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS INTO THEIR FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, WHICH WAS APPROVED BY PLANNING COMMISSION LATE LAST YEAR, AND CITY COUNCIL ALLOCATED ABOUT $4 MILLION IN THE 2025 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET FOR THESE IMPROVEMENTS. SO APPROVING THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WILL APPROPRIATE THOSE FUNDS AND OUTLINE RESPONSIBILITIES OF BOTH THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER FOR EACH OF THOSE PROJECTS. THE SCHEDULE, THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ARE INCLUDED IN YOUR LEGISLATIVE REPORT, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. SO IS 605 GOING TO CLOSE AGAIN FROM JUNE 1ST TO AUGUST 15TH NEXT SUMMER? THAT IS CORRECT, YES. JUST 605. OR WILL CENTRAL COLLEGE JUST 605? YEP. SO BRIDGE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THAT. THAT BRIDGE EXISTING BRIDGE THAT CLOSED. IS THERE ANY NEW TREATMENT OTHER THAN THAT TURNING LANES TO 605 CENTRAL COLLEGE INTERSECTION? YES, YES. SO THERE WILL BE AN EXTENSIVE STREETSCAPE INSTALLED SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU'LL FIND IN MORE URBAN AREAS LIKE THE VILLAGE CENTER. THERE WILL BE ON STREET PARKING SPACES ADDED TO HELP REALLY SLOW THAT INTERSECTION DOWN. REALLY PROMOTE THAT PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE, PEDESTRIAN SAFETY THAT WILL BE INSTALLED ON 605 AND A SMALL PORTION OF THAT ON CENTRAL COLLEGE, SOUTH OF CENTRAL COLLEGE. YES. YEP, YEP. 
          DOWN TO WHERE SNYDER WILL EXIST TODAY. AND THEN THE OVERHEAD UTILITY LINE. SO IT HAS TO BE CLOSED BECAUSE OF THE BRIDGE, CORRECT? YES. AND THE BRIDGE IS NORTH OF SNYDER LOOP. CORRECT. 
          OKAY, GOOD. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYTHING UNDER THE BRIDGE GOING TO BE LIKE A PATH UNDER THE BRIDGE, OR IS IT JUST THE BRIDGE NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED JUST TO TROLL? YEAH. WE DON'T KNOW YET. I'LL BE OVER THERE. WE'LL FIND OUT. WE'RE TAKING VOLUNTEERS. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PATHWAY UNDER THE BRIDGE. THERE WON'T BE A PATHWAY UNDER THE BRIDGE, BUT THERE'LL BE A NEW PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE INSTALLED OVER SUGAR RUN, SIMILAR TO WHAT EXISTS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ROAD. NOT THERE'S NOT CLEARANCE THERE. YEAH. THERE'S. YEP. ALL RIGHT. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE RESOLUTION THEN I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING RESOLUTION R 22 2025? HEARING NO PUBLIC COMMENT. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE RESOLUTION? MOVE TO ADOPT RESOLUTION R 22, 2025 SECOND. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. FELLOWS. YES. MAYOR. 
          SPALDING. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JARRETT. YES. FIVE. YES. VOTES TO APPROVE RESOLUTION R 22 2025. RESOLUTION R 23 2025 A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER ADVERTISE, BID, AWARD AND EXECUTE AGREEMENTS AND CONTRACTS RELATED TO THE GARDEN PARKWAY PHASES THREE AND FOUR AND BABBITT ROAD WIDENING ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. MR. MAYOR, THANK YOU. SO THIS LEGISLATION IS TO AUTHORIZE THE CONSTRUCTION OF TWO PHASES OF PARKWAY EXTENSION AND BABBITT ROAD. SO I WILL START WITH GANTIN PARKWAY PHASE FOUR. SO THIS IS THE VILLAGE CENTER PORTION OF PARKWAY EXTENSION. SO THIS SECTION IS APPROXIMATELY 2300FT OR ALMOST A HALF MILE. IT IS THE SAME FIVE LANE SECTION THAT YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT EXISTS WITHIN THE LICKING COUNTY PORTION OF THE BUSINESS PARK TODAY. SO IT IS TWO LANES IN EACH DIRECTION WITH A FIVE FOOT BIKE LANE ON EACH SIDE, CENTER, MEDIAN OR TURN LANE WITH A VERY WIDE 13 TO 12 FOOT TREE LINE AND THEN LEISURE TRAIL ON THE OUTSIDE. SO THIS SECTION WILL START AT US 62 WHERE THE FIRE STATION IS, AND THEN AGAIN EXTEND ALMOST A HALF MILE TO THIS SECTION RIGHT HERE. SO IT WILL TERMINATE TEMPORARILY AS A ROUNDABOUT SO TRAFFIC CAN CIRCULATE THROUGH IN CASE THEY HIT THE END OF THE ROAD AND CIRCLE BACK TO US 62, OR TO 
          [01:35:05]
WHERE THEY'RE GOING. SO THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IS SLATED TO START IN SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR AND BE FINISHED BY MAY OF 2026. THIS PORTION, PHASE FOUR, IS A TOTAL OF $8.4 MILLION IN CONSTRUCTION AND INSPECTION FEES. THE NEXT PHASE IS PHASE THREE, AND THIS IS THE BUSINESS PARK PORTION OF PARKWAY, AND ALSO WHERE THIS BABBITT ROAD WIDENING IS. SO THIS ALSO WILL PICK UP WHERE GANNON PARKWAY ENDS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE AMGEN LOCATED TO THE EAST. SO IT WILL CONTINUE THE FIVE LANE SECTION. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME SECTION I JUST SHOWED YOU IN THE VILLAGE CENTER. SO IT'LL EXTEND THIS GOING WEST, AND THEN IT WILL REDUCE DOWN TO ONE LANE TO GO INTO THIS ROUNDABOUT. SO THIS WILL BE A ONE LANE ROUNDABOUT. SO ROUNDABOUTS CAPACITY AND VOLUME WISE CAN HOLD A LOT OF TRAFFIC. AND BASED ON THE INITIAL TRAFFIC STUDIES IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THIS CAN BE A ONE LANE ROUNDABOUT. SO THIS WILL LOOK JUST LIKE THE OTHER ROUNDABOUTS WITHIN THE BUSINESS PARK. SO THIS WILL HAVE THE GRANITE COBBLES, CONCRETE CURBS. 
          VERY MUCH WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FOR THE NEW ALBANY ESTHETIC. IT WILL THEN TURN INTO BABBITT ROAD. SO BABBITT ROAD WILL BE SLIGHTLY REALIGNED EASTWARD TO GO INTO THIS ROUNDABOUT. SO THIS IS WHERE THE THREE LANE SECTION IS. SO THE THREE LANE SECTION WILL EXTEND NORTH UP TO DUBLIN-GRANVILLE ROAD. YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A SMALL TURN LANE RIGHT TURN LANE THAT WILL BE ADDED TO DUBLIN-GRANVILLE ROAD. SO THIS WILL BE JUST AN UNIMPROVED AS FAR AS LIKE LEISURE TRAILS GO, IT'S JUST GOING TO BE JUST A STREET IMPROVEMENT AND A DITCH IMPROVEMENT AS WELL. SO IT'S GOING TO GO FROM THE TWO LANE COUNTY ROAD TO A THREE LANE SECTION. AND THIS IS SORT OF SIMILAR TO WHAT THE CITY HAS DONE IN THE PAST WITH JUG STREETS, WHERE WE'VE ADDED IN THAT CENTER TURN LANE UP FRONT. SO THIS WILL HAVE TWO 11 FOOT LANES, SO ONE IN EACH DIRECTION WITH A CENTER TEN FOOT LANE STRIPED. SO THAT WILL START FOR THE MOST PART AT DUBLIN-GRANVILLE ROAD GOING TO THE ROUNDABOUT. AND THEN IT WILL ALSO EXTEND DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY HERE. SO THIS IS THIS WIDENING GOING DOWN TO BABBITT ROAD. THIS IS TO SERVE. THERE'S THE SITE DOWN HERE ALONG BABBITT ROAD. AND THIS ALSO IS ABOUT WHERE THE CITY'S SUDDENLY CORPORATE LIMIT IS AS WELL. SO IT EXTENDS DOWN TO PRETTY MUCH WHERE THE BUSINESS PARK ENDS TODAY ALONG BABBITT ROAD. SO THIS PROJECT IS SLATED TO START ALSO IN SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR. SO WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE BOTH PROJECTS. PHASE THREE FOUR AND BABBITT START CONSTRUCTION AT THE SAME TIME. SEPTEMBER OF 2025. THIS PROJECT ALL PIECES SO GANTON PARKWAY, THIS BABBITT ROAD WIDENING. THIS IS ALL SLATED TO BE FINISHED IN DECEMBER OF 2026. AND THEN YOU'LL SEE WE HAVE THIS RESURFACING. THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS PROJECT, BUT ONCE THIS IS FINISHED, WE DO HAVE IT ON OUR STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TO GO IN AND RESURFACE. SO NO WIDENING, JUST A RESURFACING OF THIS PURPLE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO MORSE ROAD. SO IT'S ON THE SAME MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND LOOKS FINISHED WISE, THE SAME AS THE REST OF BABBITT ROAD AND PARKWAY IN THAT AREA. SO THIS JUST PHASE THREE COSTS $13.4 MILLION. AND THE BABBITT ROAD WIDENING SECTION COST 3.2 MILLION. THE SECTION IN RED HERE. SO CITY COUNCIL DID INCLUDE 2.1 OR SORRY, $21.5 MILLION IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR. BETWEEN SECTION FOUR, THE VILLAGE CENTER SECTION AT 8.4, THIS SECTION AT 13.4, AND THEN THE BABBITT ROAD AT 3.2. THAT TOTALS $25 MILLION. AND THAT'S HOW MUCH THIS LEGISLATION IS REQUESTING TODAY. SO THAT'S $3.5 MILLION OVER WHAT WE HAD INCLUDED AND BUDGETED FOR IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. AND THAT'S DUE REALLY FOR TWO REASONS. IT'S AS I'M SURE YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN SOME INCREASE IN PRICES JUST BASED ON CONSTRUCTION COSTS SINCE LAST YEAR, AND ALSO THIS ADDITION OF THE BABBITT ROAD WIDENING, BY AND LARGE, MAKES UP THE MAJORITY OF THE ADDITIONAL COSTS OVER WHAT WAS BUDGETED FOR THIS YEAR. BUT BASED ON THE BUT WHAT HAS CHANGED SINCE THAT INITIAL BUDGET, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, IS THAT THE BUSINESS PARK HAS ALSO EXPANDED SINCE WE INCLUDED THIS NUMBER. SO BASED ON OUR TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDIES AND SERVING THE BUSINESS PARK APPROPRIATELY, WE FEEL THAT ADDING THIS IS BENEFICIAL TO THE PARK AND TO THE VEHICULAR CIRCULATION AS WELL. STEVE, IS MY MEMORY CORRECT THAT THERE'S ALSO A BRIDGE WIDENING COMPONENT ON THIS? YES. SO THIS ALSO INCLUDES THE POTENTIAL FOR A BRIDGE WIDENING AND POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT LOCATED RIGHT HERE. SO THERE IS A STREAM HERE. SO 
          [01:40:07]
THERE IS A BRIDGE HERE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT IN 1944. WE'VE DONE SOME INITIAL ASSESSMENTS ON IT. WE WON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT WE'RE GETTING INTO UNTIL WE FULLY START CONSTRUCTION ON IT. 
          BUT THIS ALSO HAS A CONTINGENCY, REALLY A WORST CASE SCENARIO INCLUDED IN THIS IS THERE'LL BE A BRIDGE REPLACEMENT AS WELL THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET NUMBER THAT YOU IT IS. AND WHAT'S THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONDITION AT THE NORTH END OF BABBITT. IS THIS GOING TO BE A ONE WAY STOP SIGN STILL. YES THAT'S CORRECT. SO AND THAT IS SOMETHING WE HOPE TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR ONCE THIS ROADWAY GOES IN. IT COULD BE IT COULD BECOME A THREE WAY STOP. SO STOP SIGNS GOING EACH DIRECTION. BUT DURING CONSTRUCTION WE'LL MONITOR THAT TO SEE IF THAT NEEDS TO BE I GUESS YOU COULD SAY UPGRADED FROM THE ONE WAY STOP TO A THREE WAY STOP. AND THEN CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE OTHER SLIDE WITH THE FIRST PART OF GANNON? THAT'S IS THAT THREE LANES. SO THIS IS A TOTAL OF FIVE LANES. SO THERE'S A CENTER TURN LANE OR MEDIAN TWO LANES. AND THEN ALSO A BIKE LANE, FIVE FOOT BIKE LANE ON THE OUTSIDE OF EACH SECTION OF THE ROADWAY. SO THE BIKE LANE IS ON THE ROAD. THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. AND THEN ARE WE INTENDING TO CARRY THAT ELEMENT THROUGH THE REST OF GANTON PARKWAY UP TO BABBITT? AS FAR AS THE BIKE PATH BEING ON THE ROADWAY? THAT IS THE INTENT. YEAH. AND THAT'S HOW IT EXISTS TODAY. I GUESS IT'S JUST OFF THE SCREEN HERE. BUT THERE IS AN ON STREET, FIVE FOOT WIDE BIKE PATH ON ALL SECTIONS OF GRAND PARKWAY TODAY. I SHOULD PAY MORE ATTENTION. OKAY. DID WE ALREADY? I THINK WE DID APPROVE THE KITZMILLER INTERSECTION. I KNOW WE LOOKED AT IT. WHERE ARE WE ON THAT? GO AHEAD. OH, SO EARLIER THIS YEAR, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED A PLAT TO DEDICATE THE RIGHT OF WAY NECESSARY FOR THE KITZMILLER PORTION. HOWEVER, THAT SECTION OF ROADWAY HAS NOT BEEN DESIGNED YET, SO THAT IS A FUTURE PROJECT. THANK YOU STEVE, WHILE YOU HAVE THIS ONE UP. SO HOW ARE THE CAN YOU REMIND ME HOW THE TWO GAMES ARE GOING TO CONNECT AT SOME POINT? THE DIFFERENT PHASES? ARE THEY GOING TO SHARE PRETTY MUCH THE QUESTION JUST ASKED, ARE THEY GOING TO SHARE DUBLIN-GRANVILLE ROAD LIKE, YEAH, IS THAT OR IS THAT A TEMPORARY CONDITION WHERE THERE IT IS. SO THE TEMPORARY CONDITION IS THAT THERE'LL BE A ROUNDABOUT OR A TRAFFIC CIRCLE THAT TERMINATES AT THIS ROADWAY HERE, SINCE IT'S A 100FT AND IT'S A FIVE LANE SECTION, IT CAN ACTUALLY ACCOMMODATE A ROUNDABOUT VERY EASILY, THE AMOUNT OF SPACE. BUT THIS IS SHOWING THE FUTURE SECTION OF THE KITZMILLER. SO THIS PHASE FOUR IS JUST THE GREEN SECTION. ORANGE IS THE FUTURE PHASE THAT'S NOT INCLUDED AS PART AS PART OF TONIGHT'S LEGISLATION. THE GREEN SECTION IS JUST GOING TO BE STUBBED UNTIL THE FUTURE PHASE. IS THAT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THERE? SO THE PART WHERE BABBITT PARKWAY DEAD ENDS IN THE DUBLIN-GRANVILLE ROAD. AT BABBITT. SO EVENTUALLY THAT SECTION OF DUBLIN-GRANVILLE ROAD WILL BE RENAMED GANTON PARKWAY, JUST THAT SECTION. RIGHT. SO GANTON PARKWAY WILL RUN FROM 62 ALL THE WAY PAST BEECH TO WHERE IT TERMINATES AT WORTHINGTON ROAD. OKAY. SO IT DOES GET CONFUSING BECAUSE IT'S PART OF IT'S DUBLIN-GRANVILLE. IT'S PART OF ITS WORTHINGTON ROAD, RIGHT? IT'S THE SAME PIECE OF ASPHALT. YEAH. SO OUR EVENTUAL GOAL WOULD BE TO TERMINATE DUBLIN-GRANVILLE ROAD AT THE ROUNDABOUT THERE. THIS ROUNDABOUT RIGHT HERE IS WHERE DUBLIN-GRANVILLE ROAD WOULD TERMINATE. GANTON PARKWAY WOULD CONTINUE ON. WE HAD ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT THERE WOULD BE A ROUNDABOUT AT THIS INTERSECTION OF BABBITT, WHAT IS CURRENTLY BABBITT AND DUBLIN-GRANVILLE ROAD. THERE MIGHT BE SOME SOME ISSUES THERE. THAT'S THE NATURAL GAS LINE THAT RUNS THROUGH THERE. SO WE'D HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT. BUT THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY SOFTEN THIS INTERSECTION, PERHAPS TURN THAT INTO A ROUNDABOUT SO IT WOULD FEEL LIKE A NATURAL PROGRESSION FROM THIS SECTION HERE DOWN TO WHAT WILL BE NEW GANTON PARKWAY ACROSS BEECH ROAD. AND THEN EVERYTHING EAST OF BABBITT, THEN BECOMES 161 AGAIN OR DOUBLE EAST. YEAH. SO EAST OF BABBITT WOULD BE RENAMED WORTHINGTON ROAD. SO YOU WON'T HAVE YOU WON'T HAVE SITUATION LIKE YOU HAVE ON HARLEM ROAD RIGHT NOW. YEAH. WE HAVE UPPER HARLEM, MIDDLE HARLEM AND HARLEM. YES. 
          ALL OF THIS WOULD BECOME YOU WOULD HAVE ROADS DEAD ENDING OR TERMINATING AT A LOGICAL INTERSECTION. YEAH. I UNDERSTAND IT. SO ONCE THE WHEN ARE WE THINKING THAT THAT WHOLE PROJECT IS GOING TO BE COMPLETE WITH THE KITZMILLER BABBITT ROAD THAT YEARS DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE WE DO 
          [01:45:08]
THE KITZMILLER SO PHASE FIVE WE HOPE TO START DESIGN OF THAT ROADWAY, THE ORANGE SECTION IN SUMMER OF NEXT YEAR OR SORRY WE HOPE TO START ACTUALLY THE DESIGN THIS YEAR AND POTENTIALLY START THAT ROADWAY ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION WITHIN ABOUT A YEAR. SO ABOUT WHEN WE'RE WRAPPING UP CONSTRUCTION OF THIS GREEN ONE IS WHEN, AS OF TODAY, WE FEEL WE COULD BE IN A GOOD SPOT TO POTENTIALLY START CONSTRUCTION. SO YOU'RE ALREADY TURNING OVER THERE? I'M SORRY, YOU'RE TURNING DIRT GAP PARKWAY. I SAW THAT THERE'S ACTIVITY IN THAT FIELD NOW. SO YEAH, THE CITY WENT IN AND INSTALLED A TEMPORARY CROSSING OVER ROSE RUN CREEK HERE. AND SO THAT IS SERVING TWO FUNCTIONS. SO THAT'S TO SET UP THE CITY FOR THIS ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION THAT'S SLATED TO START IN SEPTEMBER. IT'S ALSO A COMMITMENT WE MADE TO NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. SO THEY ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR SITE. SO IT'S GOING TO HAVE A DUAL PURPOSE FOR OUR CONSTRUCTION AND NATIONWIDE AS WELL. CONSTRUCTION ACCESS. WHEN ARE THEY STARTING? I I'M NOT SURE OF THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION. I GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS. IT DOESN'T MATTER TO THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION, BUT. ALL RIGHT. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON RESOLUTION 23? THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING RESOLUTION R 23 2025? HEARING? NO PUBLIC COMMENT. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE FOR THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION R 23, 2025 SECOND. MAYOR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          FELLOWS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. BRYCE. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DEREK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          KIST. YES, I HAVE FIVE. YES. VOTES. SHOULD RESOLUTION R 23 2025. ANYONE CARE TO GIVE A 
          [14. REPORTS OF REPRESENTATIVES]
COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT REPORTED REPRESENTATIVES. JOE. ANY UPDATE FROM WORK? SO UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS MEETING REMOTELY. I WAS DRIVING FROM ONE MEETING TO ANOTHER, BUT SO I WASN'T ABLE TO TAKE A LOT OF NOTES, BUT I IT WAS A RELATIVELY LIGHT AGENDA FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. I THINK THERE WERE THREE ITEMS THAT WERE OF IMPORTANCE. THE FIRST WAS THE THEY APPROVED THE FEE SCHEDULE FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR. THEY INCREASED BY $0.02 PER CAPITA. SO OUR RATE NEXT YEAR WILL BE $0.69 PER PER CAPITA FOR NEW ALBANY'S POPULATION ALSO. AND THEN BY THE WAY, THEY THEY BILLED THAT BASED ON OUR POPULATION PROJECTIONS. SO THEY HAVE A THEY HAVE A NUMBER THAT THEY USE BASED ON THE DATA THAT THEY RECEIVE FROM US. SO WE'LL BE USING THAT 11, ROUGHLY 11,000 PERSON POPULATION NUMBER. 
          SECOND, THEY REPORTED BACK THAT THEY HAVE COMPLETED THEIR BYLAWS COMMITTEE HAS HAS COMPLETED ITS WORK, AND THE COMMISSION APPROVED THE AMENDMENTS TO THE BYLAWS. I HAVE ACTUALLY A STRUCK AN UNDERLYING COPY OF THE BYLAWS. IF YOU'D EVER BE INTERESTED IN READING THEM. THEY FORMALIZE SOME OF THEIR COMMITTEES AND SOME OF THE RULES OF PROCEDURE THAT ARE TO BE USED BY THOSE COMMITTEES IN THE CONDUCT OF BUSINESS. AND THEN THE LAST THING WAS APPROVAL TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ACCEPT GRANT MONEY TO CONTINUE THEIR 
          [15. REPORTS OF CITY OFFICIALS]
WEATHERIZATION PROGRAM. TWO QUICK POINTS TO MAKE PRIOR TO THE MEETING. THERE WAS A LUNCH THAT WAS HOSTED BY MORGAN CITY WITH THE NEW CEO FOR THE COLUMBUS PARTNERSHIP, JASON HALL, WHO'S SORT OF MAKING THE ROUNDS WITH PUBLIC OFFICIALS. COMMUNITY LEADERS OBVIOUSLY WANTED TO MAKE A STOP AT MORPC ACTUALLY LIVES HERE IN NEW ALBANY. SO HAPPY TO HAVE HIM IN THE COMMUNITY. SEEMS TO HAVE A GOOD HEAD ON HIS SHOULDERS. CAME HERE FROM SAINT LOUIS, WHERE HE LED A SIMILAR EFFORT WITH A BUSINESS GROUP IN THAT COMMUNITY, ACTUALLY SORT OF STUDIED THE COLUMBUS WAY BACK IN THE DAY, TRYING TO BUILD A MODEL FOR HOW SAINT LOUIS COULD WORK COLLABORATIVELY. SO HE WAS EXCITED TO COME TO COLUMBUS TO ACTUALLY SORT OF LIVE WHAT HE STUDIED. SO I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD RECEPTION. AND HE'S HITTING THE GROUND RUNNING. WE ALSO HAD THE MAYORS AND MANAGERS MEETING OUT IN UPPER ARLINGTON AND GOT A CHANCE TO TOUR THEIR NEW COMMUNITY FACILITY, WHICH IS AN INTERESTING REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY. USED A FAIR AMOUNT OF TIF MONEY FROM THE REDEVELOPMENT TO HELP PAY FOR SOME OF THE COMMUNITY ASPECTS OF IT. OHIO STATE RENTS ONE OF THE FLOORS, BUT IT'S A FIVE STORY BUILDING, SORT OF RIGHT THERE IN THE IN THE MIDDLE OF UPPER ARLINGTON. AND I THINK THE THING THAT SURPRISED ME THE MOST WAS 
          [01:50:02]
OBVIOUSLY THEY BUILT THIS AS A AS A COMMUNITY FACILITY, BUT THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WHO HAVE ALREADY SIGNED UP TO BE LITERAL PAYING MEMBERS IS LIKE IN THE 80 PERCENTILE. SO THEY DID A GREAT JOB IN GETTING A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY AND WHAT THEY WANTED. AND THEN THE COMMUNITY SHOWED UP AND MADE, YOU KNOW, EFFORTS TO BECOME MEMBERS. SO SOMETHING WE SHOULD PROBABLY KEEP AN EYE ON AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN SOME OF OUR CONVERSATIONS ABOUT COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND FACILITIES, THAT THAT WOULD BE A, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, FIVE STORIES IS A LITTLE INTERESTING. AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE NOT A LOT OF AVAILABLE LAND FOR DEVELOPMENT. SO YOU HAVE TO GO VERTICAL. BUT JUST THE SORT OF THE FEATURES WITHIN THAT FACILITY WERE PRETTY, PRETTY INTERESTING. IT WAS VERY WELL DONE. ALL RIGHT. MR. SCHOLL IS NOT HERE. SO WE WILL SKIP ANY UPDATES ON THE JOINT PARKS. MR. KISS, ANY UPDATE ON THE PLANO SCHOOLS? THEY HAVEN'T HAD A MEETING. I BELIEVE NEXT MONDAY IS THE NEXT SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. ALL RIGHT. AND COUNCIL MEMBER DIRK ANYTHING FROM THE TOWNSHIP. THEY DID HAVE A TOWNSHIP MEETING LAST WEEK. A LOT OF GENERAL BUSINESS, A COUPLE OF ITEMS. THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO IN TERMS OF A AUXILIARY FIRE STATION LOCATION THAT'S STILL UP IN THE AIR. OKAY. THE OTHER AT THE END, WITH RESPECT TO THE VETERANS MEMORIAL, THERE IS THE FAMILY AND NONPROFIT GROUP WHO ARE BUILDING THE GOLD STAR SCULPTURE. AND THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY ARE RUNNING $70,000 SHORT TO THE NUMBER TO BUILD THE SCULPTURE. AND THE TOWNSHIP WAS CONSIDERING THAT THEY MIGHT PAY PART OF THAT AND ASKED IF WE WOULD PARTICIPATE AND THEY ARE GOING TO GET ALL OF THE DETAILS AND THE NUMBERS, AND I SAID THEY SHOULD BRING THAT FORWARD. AS WE LOOK AT ALL OF THE PLANNING FOR THE VETS. BUT WE'RE OBVIOUSLY VERY POSITIVELY DISPOSED TO VETERANS AND SUPPORT OF THAT PROJECT. DIDN'T SAY YES, BUT CLEARLY WOULD BE SOMETHING WE WOULD BE AMENABLE TO, I THINK. 
          GREAT. THANKS FOR THAT UPDATE. YEP. ALL RIGHT. REPRESENTATIVE OR REPORTS OF CITY OFFICIALS. 
          EXCUSE ME AGAIN. I WAS OUT OF TOWN LAST WEEK FOR THE JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION, BUT CERTAINLY RECEIVED A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT WERE ABLE TO ATTEND. HATS OFF TO OUR STAFF THAT PUT IN SUCH A GREAT EFFORT TO PUT ON THAT EVENT AGAIN. IT'S ALWAYS. I'M ALWAYS SURPRISED BY THE QUALITY OF THE WORK AND I SHOULDN'T BE ANYMORE. BUT JOSH AND HIS TEAM, YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO GO OUT THERE AND SHOOT VIDEO AND REALLY CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF THAT DAY WAS, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, VERY REMARKABLE. SO THANKS AGAIN TO JOSH AND HIS TEAM FOR DOING A FABULOUS JOB. AND WHOEVER APPARENTLY COORDINATED THE FOOD TRUCKS THIS YEAR WAS AN A-PLUS THAT, YOU KNOW, FOLKS THAT I TALKED TO THAT WAS LIKE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY IS THERE WERE SO MANY FOOD TRUCKS, EVERYONE GOT SOMETHING TO EAT, WHICH AGAIN, IS A GOOD INDICATION. THE STAFF'S, YOU KNOW, PAYING ATTENTION TO THESE EVENTS ROLL IN KNOWING WHAT THE COMMUNITY'S DESIRES ARE. SO THANK YOU FOR AGAIN PUTTING ON A GREAT EVENT. 
          ANY UPDATE FROM THE CLERK? TWO THINGS I SENT OUT EARLIER TODAY AN EMAIL ABOUT SCHEDULING THE CAPITAL PROJECTS WORKSHOP. I'VE GOT THREE MORE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO HEAR BACK FROM. WE'RE TRYING REALLY HARD TO GET IT IN THAT SECOND WEEK OF SEPTEMBER, SO I DIDN'T OFFER YOU A TON OF DATES BECAUSE THE STAFF CONSTRAINTS. SO I THINK I'M DOWN AS FAR AS THE NO'S, LIKE DOWN TO ONE GOOD DAY, BUT I MAY COME BACK TO YOU AND GO, HOW HARD IS THIS NOW? IF I DO, IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO GET IT IN THAT SECOND WEEK. SO IF YOU HAVEN'T REPLIED, PLEASE DO. ALSO, THIS IS THE LAST MEETING FOR THE JULY 4TH PARADE. DO YOU WANT TO COORDINATE YOUR YOUR OUTERWEAR TO LOOK LIKE A TEAM? DO YOU WANT TO WEAR PARTICULAR POLOS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? YOUR FLAG SHIRTS OR JUST BE RED, WHITE AND BLUE AND FESTIVE? THAT'S ONE. SO WE WORE OUR SHIRTS WITH OUR NAMES ON THEM LAST YEAR. DOES EVERYONE STILL KNOW WHERE THOSE ARE, OR DO WE JUST WANT TO GO WITH THE POLOS? I STILL HAVE MINE, I THINK I STILL HAVE MINE, THE T SHIRT. WHAT'S YOUR NAME? THE T SHIRT IS IT SAYS NEW ALBANY ON THE FRONT AND THEN YOUR NAME ON THE BACK. I'M SURE I HAVE IT. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. ALL RIGHT. T SHIRTS WITH T SHIRTS WITH NAMES. ALL RIGHT. FOR YOUR TWO WHO ARE OUT, TRY AND COMMUNICATE WITH THEM, AND I'LL TRY AND MAKE A NOTE TO DO THE SAME. WHEN DO WE SHOW UP FOR THEM? WE'RE ALL WEARING RED, WHITE AND BLUE COSTUMES. YEAH. 
          SEND THEM A LINK TO PARTY CITY. WHERE THOSE INFLATABLE EAGLES. INFLATABLE EAGLES, JUST FOR THEM. OKAY, SO THE PARADE KICKS OFF AT 11. OUR TEAM WANTS EVERYONE THERE BY 1030 OR YOU MAY LOSE YOUR SPOT. SO I'M HOPING TO HAVE ALL GOLF CARTS LEAVING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BY 1015. I WILL SEND OUT AN EMAIL WITH ALL OF THIS. THE GOLF CARTS ARRIVE ON JULY 2ND AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME YET. IF IT HAPPENS THAT THEY COME EARLY, I WILL MAKE THE OFFER. IF ANYONE WANTS TO COME AND DECORATE EARLY, THEY CAN'T, BUT THEY MAY NOT ARRIVE TILL FIVE. I AM HOLDING THAT THURSDAY SO JULY 3RD OPEN BETWEEN 9 AND 4 P.M. TO DECORATE YOUR CARTS. I HAVE JUST 
          [01:55:02]
ORDERED A WHOLE NEW LOAD OF STUFF FROM AMAZON AND SO WE WILL AGAIN. I'LL SEND THIS OUT IN EMAIL, BUT I WILL SCHEDULE YOU TO COME IN AND DECORATE YOUR CARTS. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO PARK THEM OVER AT PD. I PUT IN A REQUEST TO CHIEF JONES FOR THAT. AND OH, I WAS ALSO ASKED TO REMIND YOU ABOUT THE INCLUSIVITY ZONE OR THE QUIET ZONE. NO THROWING CANDY, NO HORNS, NO LOUD NOISE. I AM GOING TO GIVE COMMUNITY PROGRAMS DIRECTOR ABBY A FIVE GALLON BUCKET OF CANDY. 
          SHE'S GOING TO PASS THAT OUT. SEPARATE. WHERE IS THAT? WHAT AREA ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? IT'S TOWARDS THE END. SO UP CLOSE TO THE CHURCH OF THE RESURRECTION. SO THERE'S GOING TO BE VOLUNTEERS AND SIGNS THAT SAY INCLUSIVITY ZONE. AND THEY WANT IT TO BE 50% QUIETER. NO SIRENS, NO HORNS, NO. AND AGAIN, NO THROWING CANDIES. THIS WOULD BE KIND OF A QUIET, MORE LESS SCARY FOR KIDS WHO ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO NOISES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO IT'LL BE MUCH QUIETER. 
          CHILLER. THE CANDY WILL BE HANDED OUT IN THAT GROUP AHEAD OF TIME. I'VE ORDERED SOME BUBBLE GUNS AND YOU CAN SHOOT BUBBLES AS YOU GO PAST, BUT THE CANDY WILL ALREADY BE DISTRIBUTED, SO THAT'S THE INCLUSIVITY ZONE AT THE END OF CANDY AT THE END ANYWAY. SO YEAH, YOU'LL RUN OUT ANYWAY. DISTRIBUTE HEAVILY. WE'LL RUN OUT. ANYWAY. I'M GOING TO DISTRIBUTE ALL THE CANDY AHEAD OF TIME, SO YOU HAVE TO SEE HOW YOU NEED TO BUDGET YOUR TRIP. 
          BUT YEAH, THAT'S EVERYTHING FOR JULY 4TH. AGAIN, I'LL SEND OUT EMAILS DECORATING ON THE THURSDAY BEFORE THE FRIDAY PARADE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS ON THOSE PLANS? ALL RIGHT, FINANCE DIRECTOR, BEFORE I TURN THE FLOOR BACK TO YOU, THE OHIO GENERAL ASSEMBLY HAS PASSED A BUDGET. DETAILS ARE COMING OUT, BUT NOT CLEAR. SOME OF THE TAX POLICY CONVERSATIONS THEY WERE HAVING. WHAT MADE IT INTO THE FINAL BILL? OBVIOUSLY, GOVERNOR STILL HAS THE RIGHT TO VETO PROVISIONS WITHIN THE PROPOSED BUDGET, BUT I'M SURE OUR LOBBYISTS WILL KEEP US INFORMED AS TO WHAT THE CHANGES AND IMPACTS WOULD BE ON CITY FINANCES AND OPERATIONS. BUT WITH THAT. YES. SO I GAVE YOU THE MAY FINANCE REPORT, AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT THICKER THAN USUAL. 
          THERE'S A COUPLE EXTRA PIECES IN THERE JUST GOING TO GO QUICKLY. AS YOU KNOW, I TOLD YOU IN THE BUDGET PRESENTATION EARLIER, WE ARE ADJUSTING OUR REVENUES, ESTIMATED REVENUES. IT IS NOT REFLECTED. THE BUDGET IS NOT REFLECTED IN THIS REPORT, NOR WILL IT BE REFLECTED IN THE JUNE REPORT. SINCE THE ORDINANCE WON'T BE PASSED UNTIL JULY. SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THINGS. INCOME TAX REVENUE IS 3.6 MILLION OVER WHAT COLLECTIONS WERE LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE DETAIL AT THE BOTTOM, YOU KNOW, GENERALLY THAT IS WITHIN THE WITHHOLDING SIDE OF THINGS IF BECAUSE IF YOU ADD THE TWO NET PROFITS AND INDIVIDUALS TOGETHER, THEY EQUAL ABOUT THE SAME. SO THEY'RE OFFSETTING EACH OTHER AS FAR AS WHAT WHAT IT WAS LAST YEAR. SO CONTINUING TO SEE CONSTRUCTION WITHHOLDING INCREASES FOR THAT, I INCLUDED ON PAGE TWO AND THREE I INCLUDED PAGE NUMBERS THIS TIME. SO ON PAGE TWO AND THREE THIS IS A REPORT THAT I ONE OF THE REPORTS THAT JOE LOVES, BUT IT'S THE HISTORY OF THE CARRYOVER BALANCE. IT'S KIND OF LITTLE YOU MIGHT NEED A MAGNIFYING GLASS, BUT THE VERY BOTTOM ROW THIS GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO I ACTUALLY NEED GLASSES FOR THIS ONE HERE TO THE VERY BOTTOM OF 2 OR 3 2009. SO THE VERY BOTTOM OF THREE GIVES YOU THE TRACKING OF OUR GENERAL FUND BALANCE SINCE 2025 FOR THE YEAR OF 2025. AND IF YOU LOOK AT MAY, AT THE END OF THE YEAR, OUR UNENCUMBERED BALANCE IS 62.7 MILLION AND THE GENERAL FUND. BUT THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF HOW IT'S BEEN INCREASING OVER THE HISTORY OF THE LAST. SINCE THAT 15 YEARS, 16 YEARS, 2009. WOW. OKAY. AND THEN THE NEXT TWO PAGES. SO FOUR AND FIVE. THIS IS THE INCOME TAX TREND ANALYSIS FOR THE GENERAL FUND GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE WE ARE COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEARS. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF PAGE FIVE OR I GUESS IT'S THE TOP OF PAGE FIVE, BUT THE REVENUE PROJECTIONS AS A PERCENTAGE OF YEAR TO DATE, ACTUAL RECEIPTS OVER A THREE YEAR TREND, AND A FIVE YEAR TREND, THAT WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE OUR ESTIMATED ESTIMATED REVENUES ARE GOING. SO CURRENTLY WE'RE BUDGETED AT 40,000,000IN THE GENERAL FUND. I PLAN TO INCREASE THAT ESTIMATE 
          [02:00:05]
TO 49. FOR THIS YEAR SO FAR. THE REST OF THE PACKET YOU GUYS SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH JUST THE FUND ACTIVITY ON PAGE SIX AND SEVEN, AND THEN THE INVESTMENT ACTIVITY ON PAGE EIGHT NINE. AND I CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT OUTSIDE OF THIS I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM TO. OVERALL FINANCIAL POSITION IS POSITIVE. EXACTLY. YEAH. WE'RE DOING PRETTY GOOD. ALL RIGHT. WELL THANK YOU. DIRECTOR STOTTS. CITY MANAGER STEFANOFF ANY REPORT? NO REPORT. CITY ATTORNEY I'LL ECHO THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT. PERFECT CALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, MR. RUBY. SURE. GOOD. ANY ADDITIONAL COUNCIL COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT, THEN WE DO HAVE A REQUEST
