[6. HEARING OF VISITORS]

[00:05:05]

THE DISABILITY MONTH IS NOT ABOUT PITY. IT'S ABOUT POWER. IT'S ABOUT INCLUSION. IT'S ABOUT RESILIENCE AND THE POWER OF RECOGNIZING THAT EVERY LIFE MATTERS. RECOGNIZING THAT EVERY VOICE DESERVES TO BE HEARD EVEN WHEN IT IS SPOKEN WITH HANDS INSTEAD OF SOUND. PRIDE AND DISABILITY IS NOT PRIDE IN THE LIMITATIONS, BUT PRIDE IN OVERCOMING. IT IS A JOY TO BE A FULLY HUMAN AS WE ARE. AND I WANT TO SAY THAT IN SPITE OF DISABILITY, BUT WITH IT GOD CREATED US WITH A PURPOSE AND VALUE, AND GOD HAS A PLAN FOR U. IN THE DEAF AND DISABILITY COMMUNITIES. WE OFTEN SEE OURSELVES. WE DON'T SEE OURSELVES AS BROKEN, BUT WE ARE BEAUTIFULLY DIFFERENT. DISABILITY IS NOT A DEFECT. IT IS DIFFERENT. IT IS A DIFFERENT WAY OF EXPERIENCING THE WORLD AND OFTEN SEEING IT MORE CLEARLY THAN OTHERS. IN PSALM 139, VERSE 14, I WILL PRAISE THEE, FOR I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. THAT INCLUDES EVERY CHILD WITH AUTISM, EVERY VETERAN WITH A WHEELCHAIR, AND EVERY DEAF PERSON WHO SIGNS AND SPEAKS TO THE TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. HELEN KELLER ONCE MADE A STATEMENT. ALTHOUGH THE WORLD IS FULL OF SUFFERING, IT IS ALSO FULL OF PEOPLE THAT ARE OVERCOMING IT. THERE'S ANOTHER MAN. ANOTHER STATEMENT WAS MADE THAT GOD SEES OUR DISABILITIES NOT AS A PROBLEM TO BE FIXED, BUT AS A PLATFORM FOR HIS GRACE TO SHINE. AS I MENTIONED TO YOU THIS THIS EVENING, I WANT TO LET BUILD A CITY WHERE THE RAMPS ARE COMMUNIST DOORS. LET'S BUILD WHERE INTERPRETERS ARE NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT, WHERE NO CHILD FEELS THAT HE HAS TO PROVE HIMSELF, THAT THEY BELONG. TRUE.

AND THAT IS TRUE INCLUSION. THAT IS TRUE COMMUNITY. AND WHAT AND THAT IS WHAT DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH INVITES US TO BECOME BETTER TOGETHER. THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL FOR HONORING THIS MONTH.

THANK YOU FOR SEEING PEOPLE NOT AS NOT NOT THROUGH THE LENS OF WHAT THEY CAN'T DO, BUT THROUGH THE LIGHT OF WHO THEY ARE. WHAT YOU'RE SEEING AROUND US IS JUST FULL OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE LEARNED TO LIVE IN A WORLD AS GOD CREATED THEM, AND THEY HAVE BEEN OVERCOMERS. SO THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND I'LL SEE. ALSO SEE CONNOR BARRY WITH US THIS EVENING, WHO HAS SERVED ON OUR IDEA PANEL FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. AND HIS MOM, OF COURSE, SAT IN THIS CHAIR FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AS OUR MAYOR. SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION.

THANK YOU, MAYOR SPALDING. I'M SURE I SPEAK FOR AMY THOMAS AND PAUL THOMAS WHEN I SAY THAT THIS MEANS A LOT TO US AND SPECIAL OLYMPICS, THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY. TRYING TO GET EMOTIONAL. BUT AGAIN, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOU. CONNOR. CONNOR, I'M JUST GLAD YOU GOT IN HERE TONIGHT. YOUR HEAD FIT THROUGH THE DOOR. SINCE CHELSEA JUST WON THE CLUB WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, SO I. WELL, WE'LL TALK ABOUT ARSENAL, I APPRECIATE THAT. YEAH. DO WE HAVE DOCTOR SEAGAL HERE? I KNOW SHE WANTED TO SPEAK. OH, THERE WE GO. GOOD EVENING. CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS. MY NAME IS DOCTOR TARASENKO. I'M A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN AT OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY. I'M A PROUD RESIDENT OF NEW ALBANY, ALONG WITH MY HUSBAND AND THREE CHILDREN. AND I SERVE ON THE PANEL, WHICH SERVES INITIATIVES LIKE THIS TO MAKE NEW ALBANY EVEN MORE ACCESSIBLE, CONNECTED, AND INCLUSIVE. I'D LIKE TO START BY THANKING ALL OF YOU FOR THIS VERY MEANINGFUL PROCLAMATION. THIS REMINDS ME OF WHAT SOMETHING DISABILITY RIGHTS ACTIVIST JUDITH HEUMANN ONCE SAID DISABILITY ONLY BECOMES A TRAGEDY WHEN SOCIETY FAILS TO PROVIDE THINGS THAT PEOPLE NEED TO LEAD THEIR LIVES. AND HERE IN NEW ALBANY, WE ARE TRYING TO TELL A DIFFERENT STORY, ONE WHERE EVERYONE HAS EVERYTHING, WHAT THEY NEED TO THRIVE. I CAN TELL YOU WHAT THIS PROCLAMATION MEANS TO ME, AND IT IS A STEP TOWARDS ENSURING THAT FROM OUR PARKS TO OUR SIDEWALKS, FROM OUR WORKSPACES TO OUR CLASSROOMS, EVERY SPACES AND SERVICES OF THIS COMMUNITY WILL BE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERY COMMUNITY MEMBER. DISABILITY RIGHTS WILL

[00:10:02]

YOU HAVE HELPED SHAPE WHAT NEW ALBANY IS TODAY AND YOU WILL HELP LEAD WHAT NEW ALBANY BECOMES TOMORROW. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR INSIGHTS. AND TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE SEE YOUR EFFORTS FROM ACCESSIBILITY INITIATIVES AT THE TAYLOR FARM PARK, CULTURE CITY INITIATIVES, LISTENING SESSIONS, INCLUSIVITY ZONE AT INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE.

WE SEE IT, WE APPRECIATE IT, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO MANY MORE SUCH INITIATIVES. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. WHO DO WE HAVE HERE FROM ADAPTIVE SPORTS CONNECTION? WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK? YOU DON'T HAVE TO. I JUST YOU WERE HERE AND WE APPRECIATE YOU OKAY? OKAY. THANK YOU I APPRECIATE IT. JUST LISTEN TO EVERYBODY ELSE TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE AND JUST THE INITIATIVE. IT SOUNDS AMAZING. AND SOMEONE THAT DOES DISABILITY AROUND MY WHEELCHAIR EVERYWHERE. AND SOMETIME IT IS, IS NOT AN ACCESSIBLE RAMP OR, YOU KNOW, SOMEWHERE FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO, TO JUST BE OUT AND LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE I GUESS. SO I APPRECIATE IT AND THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. CAN I GET YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? CAN I GET YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? MY NAME IS LAQUINTA HAYNES. THANK YOU. AND I CUT SHORT YOUR APPLAUSE. EVERYONE OKAY? APOLOGIES. WELL, AGAIN, ON BEHALF OF COUNCIL, I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S ATTENDANCE TONIGHT.

TO HONOR THIS IMPORTANT PROCLAMATION DECLARING JULY IS DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH. I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF SIGNED PROCLAMATIONS I CAN HAND OUT TO THE SPEAKERS TONIGHT, BUT THERE'S MORE. IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE ONE, CLARK MASON CERTAINLY WILL DO THOSE. I THINK WE HAVE ELLEN. YES. PLEASE COME UP. ELLEN. YEAH. SIR. I NEVER FOLLOW PERSONAL. YES. COUNCIL. DO YOU WANT TO? YEAH, I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN AS MANY OF THEM WANT TO COME UP. THAT'S FINE. I THINK YOU'RE STARTING BACK. EVERYBODY CAN COME UP IF THEY WANT. THANK YOU. SO EVERYBODY BLOCKS US.

THAT'S FINE. YOU'RE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PICTURE. I JUST HAD A PHOTO BOMB. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR. THANK YOU, EVERYONE. THANK YOU ALL.

ALL RIGHT, NEXT ON OUR HEARING OF VISITORS FOR THOSE THAT PRE-REGISTERED, SO TO SPEAK, WE HAVE NOELLE GRIFFIN. NOELLE. GOOD EVENING. HELLO. HI. WELL, DO YOU WANT THE PODIUM BACK? YEAH, YEAH, OKAY. AWESOME. THANK YOU. GOOD. LOOKS LIKE IT'S ALL IN YOUR

[00:15:08]

CROSSWALK ON CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD. A LOT OF KIDS IN THE LINKS, WENTWORTH AND UPPER CLARINGTON BIKE TO MARKET STREET, AND THEY DON'T USE THE CROSSWALK AT THE STOPLIGHT.

INSTEAD, THEY CUT THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD STEEL COURT AND OFTENTIMES THEY DO IT PRETTY UNSAFELY, AND IT CAN TAKE UP TO FIVE MINUTES TO CROSS SINCE IT'S QUITE A BUSY ROAD. SO THE CROSSWALK COULD BE AT WENTWORTH AND THAT WOULD NEED A PATH ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ROAD. OR IT COULD BE WITHOUT A PATH. IT COULD BE AT THE STEEL COURT INTO THE ENCLAVE, AND THAT WOULD MAKE IT A LOT SAFER, LIKE THE CROSSWALKS AT THE AT ROCKY FORK AND MARKET STREET. THOSE WOULD BE GREAT TO HELP THE SAFETY OF ALL OF THE KIDS WHO CROSS THERE AND ADULTS TO. MY THIRD IMPROVEMENT IS THE ENCLAVE PLAYGROUND AND THE A LOT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAYGROUNDS IN NEW ALBANY HAVE BEEN UPDATED RECENTLY, AND I WAS REALLY DISAPPOINTED WHEN I HEARD THAT OURS WASN'T ON THE LIST. THERE ARE A LOT OF THERE ARE 50 KIDS IN THE ENCLAVE THAT USE THE PARK EVERY DAY, AND THE PARK HASN'T BEEN RENOVATED IN A WHILE, AND IT'S AIMED TOWARDS KIDS FIVE AND YOUNGER, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF KIDS WHO ARE OLDER THAN THAT WHO WOULD LOVE A RENOVATED PLAYGROUND. THERE'S ALSO ONE KID IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHO USES A WHEELCHAIR AND THE NEW EQUIPMENT WHO THAT ARE IN THE OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE VERY WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL KIDS. BUT OUR PLAYGROUND CURRENTLY IS NOT, SO I'M SURE SHE WOULD APPRECIATE THAT FOR ALL KIDS WITH DISABILITIES. I'M SURE IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED BY ALL THE KIDS IN THE COMMUNITY. MY FOURTH IMPROVEMENT IMPROVEMENT IS AT TAYLOR FARM PARK IN APRIL. MY SISTER GOT A TICK BITE AT TAYLOR FARM PARK, AND THEN I TALKED TO PEOPLE ABOUT IT, AND I HEARD THAT IT'S A COMMON OCCURRENCE THERE, BUT IN THE PARKING LOT THERE ARE NOT ANY ANY SIGNAGE ABOUT CHECK FOR TICKS. SO I WAS THINKING IT WOULD BE GREAT AN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO TELL THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE HOW TO PREVENT, CHECK AND REMOVE TICKS. THAT WOULD HELP MAKE THE COMMUNITY AND TAYLOR FARM PARK A LOT SAFER AND HEALTHIER. I THINK ALL OF MY SUGGESTIONS AND IMPROVED SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS MAKE THE COMMUNITY MORE INCLUSIVE AND ACCESSIBLE AND SAFE, SO I HOPE YOU WILL TAKE THEM INTO CONSIDERATION. DO I HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME? I MEAN, I'VE BEEN AROUND A WHILE AND I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU, BUT YOU SEEM PRETTY GOOD AT THIS. YEAH, WELL, I PRESENTED TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY BOARD ONCE, BUT NEVER TO CITY COUNCIL. SO YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB. THANK YOU I APPRECIATE IT.

[00:20:05]

SO I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT ON THERE. AND I THINK IN THE FUTURE WILL BE PLANS WITH THE CITY TO EXTEND THE LEISURE TRAVEL UP THERE. IT MAY NOT HAPPEN, HAPPEN OVERNIGHT, BUT THAT'S CERTAINLY IN THE PLAN. SO WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO THAT. THANK YOU. YEAH THAT'S EXCITING. AND I ALSO LIVE UP IN THE LAKES. SO I DRIVE UP CENTRAL COLLEGE QUITE A LOT. AND I DO NOTICE THERE'S A LOT OF KIDS AND ADULTS THAT WANT TO CROSS AND DON'T HAVE A SAFE CROSSING. AND REALLY, THERE'S NO SAFE CROSSING ALONG CENTRAL COLLEGE UNTIL YOU GET DOWN TO 605. SO YEAH, THOSE ARE GOOD IDEAS TO TRY TO MAKE THE COMMUNITY SAFER FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO CROSS UP THERE. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. THANK YOU. AND I ALSO THINK THIS IS A SUPER GOOD IDEA. YES. RIGHT. TO HAVE THAT SIGN AND TAYLOR FARM, THAT'S PROBABLY THE ONE THAT WE COULD DO PRETTY QUICKLY. YEAH, I THOUGHT THAT WAS PROBABLY THE EASIEST OF MY IDEAS. YEAH. AND I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE SIGN. AND THEN MAYBE A QR CODE WHERE PEOPLE SCAN IT AND THEN IT GIVES DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO REMOVE THE TICKS IF THEY DO FIND SOMETHING ON THEM. YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT. AND THEN AS FAR AS WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE CONNECTIONS, BUT THE ENCLAVE, THE STAFF, I KNOW THERE'S LISTS. ARE WE DONE WITH OUR CITY OWNED UPGRADES? YEAH. SO THE ENCLAVE, IF I RECALL, THAT'S STILL OWNED AND IT HASN'T. YEAH. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT EVER REVERTS TO THE CITY UNDER THAT AGREEMENT. SO WE DID HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT MAKING IMPROVEMENTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE HOA. YEAH. WHEN THE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE BUILT, THE DEVELOPER USUALLY BUILDS THOSE. AND THEN AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME THEY ROLL OFF, THE CITY TAKES OVER. RIGHT? THAT ONE HAS NOT ROLLED OFF YET AND MAYBE WON'T ROLL OFF. SO YEAH. SO IT MAY BE UP TO THE HOA WITHIN THE ENCLAVE TO UPGRADE THAT PARK. SO AND SEVERAL OF THESE SUGGESTIONS ARE IMPACTED BY THE PROPOSED HAMLET DEVELOPMENT. YES. THAT'S GOING INTO THE CENTRAL COLLEGE. AND 605 ASSUMING EVERYTHING MOVES FORWARD AS PLANNED. THERE WERE DEFINITELY SOME ENHANCED PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS ALONG CENTRAL COLLEGE AND THEN DOWN 605, THERE WAS SOME THERE WAS CONVERSATIONS ABOUT IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ENCLAVE PLAYGROUND, OR THE DEVELOPER WOULD HELP BEAR SOME OF THE COST ON. SO AGAIN, ALL THESE ARE REALLY GREAT IDEAS. TO YOUR POINT. IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO PUT THEM IN PRIORITY. TO MR. FELLOW'S OBSERVATION, WHO IS OUR LIAISON TO THE PARKS AND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD. I'M JUST GOING TO HAZARD A GUESS THAT THE CONNECTION WILL PROBABLY BE ELEVATED ON THE LIST OF TO DO. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH IT IS, BUT IT DOES TAKE TIME. YES I KNOW, BUT YOU HELP KEEP A CALLING ATTENTION TO IT, WHICH IS IMPORTANT. YEAH. THANK YOU. AND ALSO I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS ON THE SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE. I KNOW YOU AND YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES AT THE SCHOOL HAVE HAD A BIG IMPACT. THANKS FOR, YOU KNOW, SORT OF BEING A PIONEER IN THIS EFFORT AND MAKING SURE THAT OTHER STUDENTS AT THE SCHOOL ARE ENGAGED ON THIS TOPIC. YOU KNOW, AGAIN, YOUR INPUT IS IMPORTANT, AND WE CERTAINLY WANT TO HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO GET ENGAGED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ON THESE IMPORTANT PROJECTS. YES. THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT'S ONE OF MY PASSIONS. SO ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN.

THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT SHE'S VERY WELL PRESENTING NOW, BUT SHE ALSO MAKES A FANTASTIC WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST. SHE IS A WONDERFUL THESPIAN AND REALLY, REALLY STOLE THE SHOW THIS WEEKEND. SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY BRIGHTER.

THANK YOU, MRS. WILTROUT. THANK YOU. SHE SEEMS SO NICE. THEN YOU THROW THE WICKED WITCH OUT.

TERRIFYING, TERRIFYING. NOAH HAS RANGE. SHE DOES. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANKS, BRAD. IS THERE ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS COUNCIL REGARDING A MATTER THAT'S NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA? WE'RE STILL UNDER HEARING OF VISITORS. THIS IS THE PART OF THE MEETING WHERE WE SORT OF DEPART INTO THE BUSINESS SIDE OF CITY COUNCIL.

SO NO OFFENSE TAKEN FROM ANY OF US. IF YOU DECIDE TO LEAVE NOW AND ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL EVENING. HAPPY TO. HAPPY TO HAVE YOU STAY IF YOU'D LIKE AND HAVE A CIVICS LESSON.

OTHERWISE, PLEASE FEEL FEEL CONFIDENT IN LEAVING. I APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENDANCE.

THERE WAS A MEETING, AND I WAS SUBBING OVER HERE FOR HIM. AND I THINK YOU CAN PROBABLY ADD TO THIS, BUT I BELIEVE THIS MEETING THAT WE ARE AT, THEY WERE LOOKING AT THE ROADSIDE PILOT PROGRAM AND CAME TO A CONCLUSION OF KIND OF WHAT COMPANY I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO CONSIDER TO MAYBE MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT PILOT. RIGHT. WE HAD FOUR BIDS IN THE RFP FOR BIDS. EARTH PEAK SOLUTION, GO ZERO SERVICES, THE COMPOST EXCHANGE AND COMPOST CLUBHOUSE. WIDE RANGE OF PRICING COMING IN, BUT ULTIMATELY THEY ENDED UP CHOOSING THE COMPOST EXCHANGE. THERE'S A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT THEY STILL WANT TO FOLLOW UP WITH THEM ON. BUT I WILL TELL YOU, KUDOS TO YOU IN THE GROUP. WHAT A WELL PREPARED COMMITTEE. THE CONVERSATIONS THEY HAD BREAKING DOWN THE FOUR THAT WERE BEING CONSIDERED. THE FEEDBACK THEY RECEIVED. THEY FOLLOWED UP ON ALL OF THE REFERENCES THAT WERE GIVEN. I MEAN, AND IN SOME CASES REFERENCES HELPED. SOME THEY DIDN'T. IT'S PRETTY INTERESTING. BUT THEY DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB, AND THEY'RE GOING TO PROBABLY MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT ONE. AND I KNOW, CASEY, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT, BUT THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE MEETING. YEAH. THE LAST POINT MAKES IT DOES A FANTASTIC JOB.

AND CHELSEA, I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE TONIGHT. SHE'S THE ONE THAT DOES A LOT OF THE LEGWORK. AND THIS RFP PROCESS WAS NOT EASY. SO APPRECIATE HER EFFORTS AND WRANGLING ALL THE INFORMATION TOGETHER.

[00:30:02]

MAYOR. SO THIS IS THE SECOND READING OF THIS ORDINANCE. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN AN AREA THAT'S CONTIGUOUS TO OUR BUSINESS PARK. IT'S BOUNDED BY GREEN CHAPEL ROAD TO THE NORTH, BEACH ROAD TO THE WEST, AND US 62 TO THE NORTH WEST. THE ANNEXATION PETITION WAS APPROVED BY THE LICKING COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ON APRIL 3RD OF THIS YEAR THROUGH RESOLUTION 20 5-0335. WE HAVE AN EXISTING ANNEXATION AGREEMENT WITH JERSEY TOWNSHIP, WHICH WAS ENTERED INTO ON JANUARY 4TH OF 2022. AND WE ALSO HAVE THE REQUIRED ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT, WHICH WAS ENTERED INTO IN JULY OF 2022. SO ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ANNEXATION PROCESS HAVE BEEN MET.

LG FOR AN AREA TO BE KNOWN AS THE SMART FARM ZONING DISTRICT, AS REQUESTED BY CARIS CRITICAL CARE OF CRAIG MONCRIEF, MISS. BLACKBURN. ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS THE SECOND READING OF THIS ORDINANCE. SO I'LL KEEP THE PRESENTATION A LITTLE BIT SHORTER. SO JUST AS A REMINDER, THIS IS A REZONING APPLICATION FOR THE SAME AS THE ANNEXATION WE JUST HEARD. WE WANTED TO AGAIN HIGHLIGHT THE PUBLIC PROCESS FOR REZONING APPLICATIONS FOR THIS PROPERTY.

ONLY PLANNING COMMISSION WAS REQUIRED TO REVIEW IT BEFORE COUNCIL TAKES FINAL ACTION, AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED THE APPLICATION DURING THEIR MAY 19TH MEETING AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, LEADING US TO THE SECOND READING TODAY. SO JUST AS A REMINDER, THIS IS A ROUGHLY 115 ACRE PROPOSED TO BE REZONED AS OUTLINED IN RED SHOWN ON THE SCREEN. IT IS LOCATED ON THE CORNER OF BEACH ROAD AND GREEN CHAPEL ALONG US 62, AND THE REZONING WOULD BE TO GENERAL EMPLOYMENT IN THE USED TO BE KNOWN AS SMART FARM ZONING DISTRICT, AS SEEN ON THE MAP REZONING WOULD TAKE. THIS WOULD MAKE THIS SITE HAVE SIMILAR USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS TO WHAT IS FOUND IN THE SURROUNDING AREA, AS WELL AS KEEPING IT ON TRACK WITH THE FUTURE. SORRY.

THE CITY STRATEGIC PLAN AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE. SO IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, EITHER OF US CAN TRY AND HELP ANSWER THOSE. IS THERE ANY SIGNIFICANCE TO THE TERM SMART FARM? WHAT WAS THE FAMILY? FAMILY? OH YES, IT WAS SMART.

AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 141 RECORDS COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY, NEW ALBANY CODIFIED ORDINANCES AS REQUESTED BY THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. CLARK MAYS, CHAPTER 141 OF THE CITY'S CODIFIED ORDINANCES DEFINES AND DESCRIBES OUR RECORDS COMMISSION, WHICH WE CALL OUR PUBLIC RECORDS COMMISSION IN CITY CODE. THE CHAPTER WAS LAST UPDATED IN FEBRUARY OF 1996, SO IT'S BEEN CLOSE TO 20 YEARS. THE PROPOSED CHANGES WERE MARKED WITH COLORED TEXT, AND THE INTENT OF THE PROPOSED CODE IS TO REFLECT CURRENT CITY PRACTICES AND RECORD KEEPING.

FOR EXAMPLE, EACH DEPARTMENT NAMING THEIR OWN RECORDS OFFICER INSTEAD OF THE NOW CITY MANAGER, NOT VILLAGE ADMINISTRATOR. THERE WAS IN THE CODE AND WE LEFT IN THE CODE A SHORT DEFAULTER, A BACKUP RECORDS RETENTION, AND IT POINTS TO THE OHIO MUNICIPAL RECORDS MANUAL. AND THAT'S ABOUT A 20 OR SORRY, ABOUT A 30 PAGE DOCUMENT. AND I'M JUST GOING TO SHOW THIS TO YOU BECAUSE IT'S EASIER TO DESCRIBE. AND IF YOU CLICK IF YOU CLICK IF YOU IT'S A DIGITAL WORLD, GO TO THE NEXT PAGE. YOU WILL SEE IN MY HIGHLIGHTS THE SECTIONS THAT WE KEPT. AND THEY ARE SIMPLY BACKUP THE. IF WE HAVE A MORE SPECIFIC RECORDS RETENTION SCHEDULE FOR OUR DEPARTMENTS, AND ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENTS HAVE PRETTY DETAILED WORKING RETENTION SCHEDULES, THAT'S WHAT CONTROLS. BUT IF FOR SOME REASON THERE WERE TO BE A GAP, THEN WE COULD BACK UP TO THE RECOMMENDATION IN THE OHIO RECORDS MANUAL. SINCE THE LAST READING, I WAS CONTACTED BY HR OFFICER LINDSAY. LINDSAY RACY, WHO SPOTTED THE PERSONNEL RECORDS LANGUAGE IN PARTICULAR. THERE WAS SORT OF AN EXTRA PARAGRAPH IN THERE, AND SHE NOTED THAT SOME OF THAT LANGUAGE WAS ACTUALLY ALREADY SPECIFIED

[00:40:01]

THE PROPERTY WAS RECENTLY ANNEXED AND LET'S SEE I HAVE. EXCUSE ME THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST OF THE RIGHT OF WAY. DEDICATION HERE WAS RECENTLY ANNEXED INTO THE CITY AND REZONED THIS THIS RIGHT OF WAY, ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL STREETSCAPE AND UTILITY EASEMEN, IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE FUTURE STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS AND MATCHES THE WIDTHS CONTAINED IN THE ENGAGE NEW ALBANY STRATEGIC PLAN. WE'RE DECLARING AN EMERGENCY TO WAIVE THE 30 DAY REFERENDUM PERIOD TO ENSURE THE RIGHT OF WAY CAN BE PROCURED AHEAD OF THE CITY'S IMPROVEMENTS. THAT WAS ON THE LAST COUNCIL AGENDA. SO WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE? ALL RIGHT. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING ORDINANCE OH 28 2025? SEEING NO PUBLIC COMMENT, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE ORDINANCE?

YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. I HAVE SIX YES VOTES TO ADOPT. ORDINANCE OH 28 2025, ORDINANCE OH 29 2025 APPROPRIATION AMENDMENT ORDINANCE, AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE CURRENT EXPENSES AND OTHER EXPENDITURES OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY, STATE OF OHIO, DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31ST, 2025, AND AUTHORIZE TRANSFERS FROM THE GENERAL AND OAK GROVE TWO INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDS AND AN ADVANCED FROM THE GENERAL FUND.

DIRECTOR STOTTS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. THIS ORDINANCE AUTHORIZES AMENDMENTS TO THE 2025 APPROPRIATIONS THAT WERE APPROVED IN THE 2025 ANNUAL BUDGET PROGRAM AS A RESULT OF ONGOING REVIEW FROM THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY'S ACTUAL AND PROJECTED REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES, AND DEPARTMENTAL REVIEWS OF WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE, THE AMENDMENTS PROPOSED ALSO CONSIDER DEPARTMENT REQUESTS AS SAID, AS DETERMINED THROUGH THEIR MID-YEAR REVIEW OF THEIR RESPECTIVE BUDGETS. ADDITIONALLY, THE LEGISLATION PROVIDES FOR THOSE TRANSFERS AND AN ADVANCE FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO VARIOUS FUNDS, AS WELL AS A TRANSFER FROM THE OAK GROVE TWO INFRASTRUCTURE FUND TO THE BOND RETIREMENT FUND. SECTION ONE AND TWO 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, AS IS A SUMMARY OF THE ADJUSTMENTS BY FUND COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL 2025 ANNUAL BUDGET PROGRAM. I ALSO HANDED OUT A COPY OF THOSE THIS EVENING. THEY'RE NOT CHANGED FROM WHAT YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED WITH THE LEGISLATIVE REPORT THIS WEEK. THIS DETAILED LIST, ALONG WITH THE LEGISLATION, HAS BEEN UPDATED TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS TO CONSIDER, AS REPRESENTED IN GREEN FONT. AND I'M JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH A FEW THINGS WITHIN IT. I'M NOT GOING TO DO THE FULL DETAILS THAT WE DID LAST READING. SO WITHIN THE GENERAL FUND TO SET THE STAGE, THE GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATION AMENDMENTS WILL INCREASE THE BUDGET BY APPROXIMATELY $27 MILLION, REPRESENTING A 52% INCREASE FROM THE ORIGINAL APPROPRIATIONS THAT WERE ADOPTED WITH THE 2025 ANNUAL BUDGET PROGRAM. IN DECEMBER, APPROXIMATELY 23 MILLION OF THE OVERALL INCREASE IN APPROPRIATIONS IS TO PROVIDE

[00:45:01]

MATURING IN SEPTEMBER. THOSE. AS A REMINDER, THE BANDS WERE PROVIDED FOR THE MARKET STREET EXTENSION PROJECT AND BRISCOE PARKWAY PART TWO MARKET. THE MARKET STREET EXTENSION ALSO IS UTILIZING SOME TIF REVENUE AS WELL. STAFF IS DETERMINED TO UTILIZE UP TO $10.6 MILLION OF THE FUND'S CASH RESERVES TOWARD THE RETIREMENT OF THE BAND, RATHER THAN ROLLING THE NOTE FOR ANOTHER 12 MONTHS OR ROLLING IT INTO LATER. A PERMANENT BOND PLAN 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. 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 THE GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATIONS, THE ENDING BALANCE IN THE FUND FOR 2025 IS ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY $39 MILLION. AFTER ALSO ADJUSTING ESTIMATED REVENUES TO REFLECT THOSE 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. UNLESS DESIRED. I'LL NOT GO THROUGH THE FULL DETAILS OF EACH FUND, AND WILL ONLY POINT OUT THE UPDATES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE THE FIRST READING. I CAN THEN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE FULL LEGISLATION. SO WITHIN THE GENERAL FUND, APPROPRIATIONS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED TO ACCOUNT FOR ADDITIONAL FOR AN ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING SPECIALIST WITHIN THE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIVISION, AND THEN ALSO AN ADDITIONAL ENGINEER TO WITHIN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. AND THAT WAS ITEMS THREE AND SEVEN.

MOVING OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND, THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION FOR THE ONE OHIO OPIOID SETTLEMENT FUND IN ORDER TO UTILIZE AN ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED FOR ADDITIONAL PROGRAMING THAT QUALIFY FOR THAT SPECIFIC REASON. THAT'S ITEM 24. ITEM 26 IS TO ACCOUNT FOR AN INCREASE, IS INCLUDED TO ACCOUNT FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES AND ADDITIONAL OPERATING AND PROJECT FUNDING FOR THE CIC, WHICH MAINLY OPERATES THE BRICKHOUSE BLUE FACILITY LINE. ITEM 27 THE SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT FUND, AN INCREASE AND A NEW DEPARTMENT IS INCLUDED. PUBLIC SERVICE TO TRACK ENGINEERING FEES RELATED TO PRIVATE UTILITY RELOCATION AND RIGHT OF WAY PROJECTS WHICH WILL BE REIMBURSED FROM DEVELOPERS. THE FUND CURRENTLY TRACKS SIMILAR FEES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT RELATED TO PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT. ITEM 27 THE BOND IMPROVEMENT FUND. A DECREASE IS INCLUDED DUE TO THE DELAYING THE ANTICIPATED BOND ISSUANCE FOR VARIOUS PROJECTS, INCLUDING THE ROSE RUN TWO PROJECT TO 2026. ONCE THE DESIGN IS COMPLETE. ITEM 46. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, AN INCREASE IS INCLUDED FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND TO FUND PORTION OF THE PARKWAY PROJECT THAT WAS INITIALLY PLANNED TO BE FINANCED WITH BOND PROCEEDS. A PORTION OF FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT WILL NOW COME FROM THE EAST AUTHORITY, AS DESCRIBED IN THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION. A SUMMARY OF THE ADJUSTMENTS AND THEIR EFFECT ON THE AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE IS INCLUDED WITH THE DETAILS. SECTION THREE, THREE AND FOUR. THEY AUTHORIZE THE TRANSFERS OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND TO THE VARIOUS CAPITAL FUNDS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. THE ADVANCE AND THIS.

THESE SECTIONS ARE WITHIN THE ACTUAL LEGISLATION. THERE'S AN ADVANCE $4 MILLION FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO THE OAK GROVE TO INFRASTRUCTURE FUND THAT WILL ULTIMATELY BE PAID BACK THROUGH REVENUES RECEIVED IN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO. AND THEN THERE'S INCREASE. WE INCREASE THE TRANSFER FROM THE OAK GROVE TO INFRASTRUCTURE FUND TO THE BOND RETIREMENT FUND IN ORDER TO PAY THE FULL BAN BOND ANTICIPATION. NOTE I CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE? I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING ORDINANCE O 29 2025? SEEING NO PUBLIC COMMENT? I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

[00:50:06]

[11. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES]

[00:55:02]

LET ME LET ME WITHDRAW THAT AND START OVER THERE I WOULD MOVE THAT. WE ADOPT ORDINANCE OH THREE 2025 AS AN EMERGENCY AND WAIVE THE SECOND READING SECOND. MAYOR SPALDING. YES.

COUNCILMEMBER. SCHULTZ. YES. COUNCILMEMBER. WILTROUT. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. KIST. YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER. FELLOWS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DEREK. YES. I HAVE SIX YES VOTES TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY FOR ORDINANCE OH THREE 2025 AND WAIVE THE SECOND READING IN ANY APPLICABLE PERIOD. AND THEN A MOTION TO ADOPT, PLEASE. ALL RIGHT. I MOVE THAT WE ADOPT ORDINANCE OH THREE 2025 AS AMENDED. SECOND. COUNCIL MEMBER CHRIS JUST ASKED IF WE OPENED A PUBLIC HEARING, AND I DON'T BELIEVE WE DID, BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER IF I THOUGHT WE. BEN SAID WE DIDN'T NEED A PUBLIC HEARING BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED A PUBLIC HEARING. YEAH, THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION, DO WE NEED A PUBLIC HEARING STILL ON THE AMENDED ORDINANCE? WHY DON'T WE JUST DO ONE JUST TO BE SAFE? LET'S OPEN AND CLOSE IT. LET ME GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON AMENDED ORDINANCE OH THREE 2025. IS THERE ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE AMENDED ORDINANCE? ALL RIGHT, SEEING NO PUBLIC COMMENT, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND NOW MOVE FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE OH THREE 2025, AS AMENDED. I'LL SECOND. THERE WE GO. MAYOR SPALDING.

YES. COUNCILMEMBER. SCHULTZ. YES. COUNCILMEMBER. DERIK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. FELLOWS. YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER. CHRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. I HAVE SIX YES VOTES TO ADOPT. ORDINANCE OH THREE 2025. AND I ACTUALLY LIKE THAT WE CAN STUMBLE THROUGH THAT BECAUSE WE NEVER DO ANYTHING BY EMERGENCY. SO THAT'S GOOD THAT WE AND NOT LIKE SOME OTHER CITIES. WE GOT ORDINANCES AND EMERGENCY. ALL RIGHT. THAT TAKES US TO ORDINANCE. OH 31 2025 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY BY AMENDING THE ZONING MAP TO REZONE A 1.08 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES OF LAND, GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH AND WEST OF LAMBTON PARK ROAD AND SOUTH OF BRANDON ROAD, FOR AN AREA TO BE KNOWN AS THE EAST NINE ZONING DISTRICT. FROM ITS CURRENT ZONING OF CPWD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND INFILL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT TO INFILL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AS REQUESTED BY THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY, LLC. CARE OF AARON UNDERHILL, ESQUIRE. MR. CHRISTIAN, YES. THANK YOU. SO THIS IS A RELATIVELY MINOR REZONING. I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH THE LOCATION, THE PROCESS, AND THEN PASS IT OFF TO AARON UNDERHILL AND TOM RUBY HERE TO GIVE YOU SOME MORE, SOME MORE DETAIL. BUT THIS REZONING WAS HEARD BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION LAST MONTH, WHO RECOMMENDED APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL. SO THESE ARE THE PROCESS THAT A REZONING HAS TO GO THROUGH AND AS PART OF THE CITY. SO THE REZONING, AS I MENTIONED, IS RELATIVELY MINOR. THE REZONING IS JUST OVER AN ACRE IN SIZE, LARGELY SECTION 30 OF THE COUNTRY CLUB WILL REMAIN AS IS. THE REZONING DOES TWO THINGS. IT ALLOWS A VERY, VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF ACREAGE, JUST OVER A 10TH OF AN ACRE TO BE ADDED INTO THE SUBDIVISION FROM THE GOLF COURSE, THE EXISTING GOLF COURSE. SO YOU CAN BARELY SEE THE LITTLE RED HERE. BUT THAT WAS PULLED IN AS PART OF THE REZONING. AND THEN THIS SECTION DOWN HERE WAS PULLED IN AS PART OF THE REZONING. THE SECOND PART OF THE REZONING IS TO ALLOW FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS TO BE DEVELOPED ON LOTS 108 AND 116 AND PROVIDE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THOSE. SO THOSE THOSE LOTS WILL BE LOCATED HERE, THE TWO LOTS IN RED. AND AGAIN, I'LL LET THE APPLICANT SPEAK TO SOME OF THAT HERE IN A SECOND. AGAIN THIS WAS HEARD BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. THE ZONING TEXT DOES ALLOW FOR SOME ENCROACHMENTS INTO THE RIGHT OF WAY, SO LONG AS THE CITY ENGINEER APPROVES THOSE AND THE APPLICANT ENTERS INTO A RIGHT OF WAY MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY, WHICH WE'RE WORKING THROUGH WITH THEM NOW. AND I'LL PROBABLY GO AHEAD AND PASS THAT OFF. PASS THINGS OFF TO AARON TO GIVE YOU GUYS SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE SUBDIVISION, UNLESS YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ME DIRECTLY. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF, MR. UNDERHILL? THANK YOU. MAYOR. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. UNDERHILL AND UNDERHILL ON HIGHWAY 8000 WALTON PARKWAY HERE IN NEW ALBANY, REPRESENTING THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY. WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A KIND OF IN-DEPTH PRESENTATION TONIGHT. I'LL HAVE TOM FOLLOW ME HERE. AND HE'S GOT A GUEST WITH HIM AS WELL, BUT WANTED TO GIVE YOU SOME GENERAL, GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE DOING IN A GRANDER SCALE HERE, ASIDE FROM JUST THE REZONING, THE NEXT MATTER IS A PLANNING EXERCISE, AS WELL AS A FIRST READING ON THAT SUBDIVISION, THIS PROPERTY AND ITS ZONING RIGHTS GO BACK TO THE 1998 PUD. AND IF YOU'LL RECALL, I KNOW IN RECENT YEARS WE'VE BEEN BEFORE YOU QUITE A FEW TIMES ON THIS PROJECT, BUT THERE WERE 88 UNITS ALLOWED

[01:00:03]

ALSO WITH US TONIGHT IS BRIAN QUACKENBUSH FROM FROM EMERGENT AND KEVIN KELLY FROM ROBERT STERN'S OFFICE THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH. I KNOW YOU'VE HEARD ME REFERENCE HIM IN THE PAST, SO THEY'LL BE DOING PART OF THIS PRESENTATION AS WELL. I'M JUST GOING TO START OFF BRIEFLY. THE ONE THING THAT WE KNOW HOW TO DO REALLY WELL IS QUARTER ACRE LOTS. AND WE'VE BEEN BUILDING QUARTER ACRE LOTS FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS VERY SUCCESSFULLY. THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL BEFORE US NOW THAT'S GONE THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND PARKS AND TRAILS AS WELL, IS REALLY RECKONING BACK TO WHAT WE DID 30 YEARS AGO AND KIND OF BREAKING THE MOLD AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS AND LOTS WITHIN THE COUNTRY CLUB COMMUNITIES. IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLY FUN AND CHALLENGING PROJECT TO WORK ON. AARON SPOKE A BIT ABOUT THE AIR RIGHTS AND THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S REQUIRED COORDINATION, NOT ONLY WITH THE CITY ENGINEER AND JOE AND HIS TEAM, THE CITY ATTORNEY, BUT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND OTHERS. THE OBJECTIVE IS NOT TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT IS LESSER THAN WHAT HAS BEEN BUILT IN THE COUNTRY CLUB COMMUNITIES, BUT SOMETHING THAT IS NICER AND BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE DONE BEFORE. SO WE HAVE REALLY TURNED THIS UPSIDE DOWN FROM A SITE PLANNING PERSPECTIVE, AS WELL AS FROM AN ARCHITECTURAL PERSPECTIVE. SO JUST REAL QUICKLY, I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH SOME OF THE LANDSCAPE COMPONENTS OF THE PLAN BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO KEVIN TO TALK A BIT ABOUT THE ARCHITECTURE YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE WITH THE CENTRAL EXISTING STORMWATER BASIN IN THE CENTER OF THE SITE, OFF ON THE RIGHT HAND, ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE EXISTING POND. THE EXHIBIT IN THE MIDDLE ILLUSTRATES WHAT WE WILL BE DOING FOR THAT POND. SO WE'RE PULLING IT FURTHER TO THE WEST, REGRADING THERE WHEN YOU GO OUT TO THE SITE. NOW THERE ARE THREE LARGE STOCKPILES OF DIRT, SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF REGRADING THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN ON THE SITE, PARTIALLY BECAUSE OF THIS NEWLY REDESIGNED POND THAT WILL HAVE WETLAND PLANTINGS AROUND THE PERIMETER, BUT ALSO TO DO SOME REGRADING IN OTHER AREAS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS THE CLUSTER AREA. WE'RE CALLING IT THE ENCLAVE DOWN IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE SITE. ELIMINATING THE EXISTING ROAD NETWORK, REDESIGNING ALL OF THAT AND REGRADING IT SO THAT IT'S A FLAT SURFACE SO THAT THE FINISHED FLOOR ELEVATIONS OF ALL OF THESE HOMES AND THIS CENTRAL GREEN ARE ALL THE CONSISTENT LEVEL. THIS CENTRAL GREEN IS ACTUALLY NOT PART OF THE PARKLAND DEDICATION REQUIREMENT.

WE'VE MAINTAINED OWNERSHIP AND MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THAT. TAKING IT OUT OF THE BUCKET OF THE CITY, JUST BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE NATURE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO

[01:05:03]

LAST TIME I WAS BEFORE YOU, WE ALSO TALKED A BIT ABOUT STRUCTURES THAT EXIST OVER THE ROAD. SO I JUST DID PULL SOME LOCAL REFERENCE IMAGES. THIS IS LOCH LOMOND IN POWELL. THAT'S A SINGLE LAYOUT, SINGLE LANE ROAD. THIS IN OUR EXAMPLE. THESE ARE ALL PUBLICLY DEDICATED ROADS.

THERE WILL BE NO GATE. BUT THEY SO THEY'RE AGAIN PUBLICLY DEDICATED ROADWAY WITHOUT A GATE. THIS IS SESSIONS VILLAGE IN BEXLEY MORE SIMILAR TO WHAT WE ARE REFERENCING HERE. THE ROADS WILL BE 20FT IN WIDTH. THE STRUCTURES ABOVE THE ROAD A DIMENSION OF 14FT, SEVEN INCHES IN HEIGHT. THAT'S FROM THE BROAD STREET ELEVATION. THAT'S ACTUALLY FROM THE INSIDE OF SESSIONS, LOOKING, LOOKING THE OTHER DIRECTION. AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO KEVIN TO TALK A BIT ABOUT ARCHITECTURE. THANK YOU. TOM, I'M KEVIN KELLY, I'M A PARTNER AT ROBERT A M STERN ARCHITECTS. RAMSEY, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME COME AND GIVE YOU A PREVIEW OF OUR INITIAL DESIGN IDEAS FOR THE COMMUNITY AND CONTINUE MY FIRM'S ALMOST THREE DECADES OF WORKING IN NEW ALBANY AND WITH THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY. SO, AS TOM MENTIONED, RAMSEY WAS ENGAGED TO BASICALLY EXPLORE WAYS TO MAKE THIS A VERY, VERY UNIQUE DESTINATION, A NEW OFFERING, LOOKING AT THE EXISTING COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE COUNTRY CLUB AND FIGURING OUT WAYS THAT THIS COULD BE COMPATIBLE, BUT VERY DIFFERENT. THE. THE SITE YOU ALL KNOW, IS ONE OF THE LAST UNDEVELOPED PLOTS WITHIN THE COUNTRY CLUB COMMUNITY. SO THERE'S A THERE'S A LOT OF INTEREST, OBVIOUSLY, IN WHAT THIS COULD BECOME. AND MY FIRM IS VERY KEEN ON UNDERSTANDING THE CONTEXT WITHIN WHICH WE ALWAYS DESIGN AND BUILD. SO WE STARTED LOOKING AT THE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL CONTEXT IN TERMS OF THE BUILDING STYLE, THE MATERIALS USED, THE MASSING, IT'S OBVIOUSLY GEORGIAN AND GEORGIAN DONE VERY, VERY WELL. LOTS OF GREAT PRESENTATIONS.

THAT SAID, THERE'S ALSO OTHER EARLIER COMMUNITIES THAT TOM MENTIONED, ASHTON GREEN, WOODS THAT HAD NUANCE, DIFFERENT NUANCES TO THE WAY THEY APPROACHED DESIGN, THE MASSING, THE MATERIALS. AND SO WITH THAT IN MIND, WE STARTED LOOKING AT WAYS THAT WE COULD INCORPORATE SIMILAR MASSING TO THE GEORGIAN STYLE, WHICH IS VERY SYMMETRICAL, VERY ORGANIZED, BUT INCORPORATE DIFFERENT MATERIALS. POTENTIALLY YOU'RE SEEING STONE HERE. THERE'S PLENTY OF EXAMPLES WITHIN THE NEW ALBANY AREA AND GREATER OHIO AREA UTILIZING STONE RESIDENCES. WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING CLAPBOARD SIDING, WHICH ASHTON GROVE USES VERY SUCCESSFULLY, AND IT HELPS CREATE MORE OF A CENTRAL MASSING THAT IS CLEARLY IDENTIFIED WITH THEM, PLAYFUL WINGS THAT LOOK

[01:10:01]

IT'S A NINE LOT DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS THEN AT LOT 38, A LARGER HOUSE OUTSIDE OF THE ACTUAL NEIGHBORHOOD, WITHIN A NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WE APPROACHED THIS THINKING ABOUT IT AS WHAT IF LOT 12, WHICH AT THE END WAS THE ORIGINAL, SAY, MANOR HOUSE. IT WAS THERE LONG AGO. AND THEN THIS PORTAL, I THINK I HAVE IT HERE INTO THE ENCLAVE WITH, SAY, THE ORIGINAL STABLE STRUCTURE OR ANCILLARY STRUCTURE THAT KIND OF DEFINED THE PROPERTY. AND THEN OVER TIME, THE OTHER LOTS WERE SOLD AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS DEVELOPED AROUND THAT COMMON GREEN THAT THAT TOM MENTIONED.

AND WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN? THAT WOULD MEAN THAT YOU'D HAVE, ON ACCESS A VERY SYMMETRICAL OR VERY KIND OF PRONOUNCED MANOR HOUSE AT THE END. YOU'D HAVE IN THE FOREGROUND YOU CAN SEE THE PORTAL, AS WE'RE CALLING IT, WITH LOWER PORTICOS AND OCCUPIABLE SPACE ON THE SECOND FLOOR, FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR, AND THEN THE MASSING OF THE DIFFERENT RESIDENCES WOULD START HELPING TO FORM AND DEFINE THAT THAT CENTRAL GREEN EDGE OF WOODS DOES SOMETHING SIMILAR IN THE WAY IT ENGAGES THE COUNTRY CLUB OR THE GOLF COURSE, I SHOULD SAY, AROUND MUCH SMALLER SPACES, BUT THIS WOULD BE A BIT OF A LARGER SPACE TO ORGANIZE THAT. AND WHAT WE'RE ALSO DOING, SIMILAR TO EDGE OF WOODS, IS PULLING PARTS OF THE BUILDINGS, THE GARAGES PARTICULARLY, BUT SOMETIMES EVEN THE RESIDENCES CLOSER TO THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK TO START CONTAINING THAT SPACE. SO NOT EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS SET BACK THE SAME DISTANCE. AND WHAT THAT DOES IS IT STARTS CREATING A LOT OF VARIETY IN THE MASS. THE LAST THING THAT WE'LL DO, OR WE'RE PROPOSING, IS TO TRY TO SCREEN THE GARAGE DOORS FROM THE PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY. SO WHEN POSSIBLE, THEY'RE TURNED 90 DEGREES INTO MOTOR COURTS SO THAT YOU'RE NOT STARING INTO YOUR NEIGHBOR'S GARAGES AS YOU WALK AROUND THIS COMMUNITY. FROM THIS VIEW, YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE PLAYFULNESS OF THE MASSING, SOME INITIAL CONCEPTUAL IDEAS WITH MATERIAL APPLICATION SIMILAR WITH WOODS. AGAIN, THE REAR FACADES WOULD BE AS IMPORTANT AS THE STREET FACADES BECAUSE AS YOU'RE PLAYING THROUGH THE GOLF COURSE, THESE FACADES WOULD BE VERY VISIBLE AND YOU'D WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT AND WELL-DESIGNED AS THE COMMUNITY FACING ONES. SO FOR OUR FIRST COVERED ENTRY OR COVERED PORTAL AS IT ENTERS INTO THE ENCLAVE, WE'RE PROPOSING, AS I NOTED, A TWO STORY STRUCTURE.

THESE WOULD BE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS BELONGING TO EITHER SIDE LOT. AND BASICALLY WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT THERE WOULD BE A SEPARATE ENTRANCE TO IT, AND THAT UNIT WOULD BE ABLE TO FUNCTION AS A GYM, AN OFFICE, A LIBRARY, AN ART STUDIO, A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THOSE. WE'RE ALSO SHOWING A FULL BATH WITH A STAIR, THEN UP TO A LOFT SPACE AGAIN THAT WOULD HAVE A VARIETY OF OPPORTUNITY OFFERINGS. THERE ARE NO KITCHENS, SO THERE WOULD NOT BE AN ACTUAL SECOND KITCHEN IN THIS RESIDENCE, AND EACH OF THOSE WOULD BE ABOUT 500FT■!S. O 1000 TOTAL FOR THE PORTAL. AND AS TOM MENTIONED, WE'RE MAINTAINING A 20 FOOT WIDE, TWO LANE TRAFFIC ACCESS FOR VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THE ENCLAVE AND THEN COVERED WALKWAYS AROUND IT FOR THE NEIGHBORS AND PEDESTRIANS TO ACCESS. THIS WOULD BE A PRELIMINARY STUDY OR RENDERING OF WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE. AGAIN, TO BREAK DOWN THE MASSING, WE'RE HAVING THOSE BRICK PORTICOS THAT START TALKING OR PULLING IN MATERIALS FROM OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS. WE'RE INTRODUCING THE STONE AS THE MORE SOLID STRUCTURE WITH CLAPBOARD SIDING ABOVE TO MAKE IT LOOK LIGHTER. OUR INITIAL IDEA OF MAYBE A CLOCK OR A SUNDIAL OR SOMETHING INTERESTING IN THE GABLE END. THE LAST THING I WILL NOTE HERE IS THAT THE WIDTH AND THE HEIGHT OF THE OF THE ENTRY ARE ENGINEERED TO ALLOW NOT ONLY A FIRE TRUCK, BUT AN INTERSTATE MOVING VAN AS WEL, TO GO INTO THE ENCLAVE AND CIRCLE ALL THE WAY AROUND WITHOUT DAMAGING ANY OF THE STRUCTURES OF THE LANDSCAPE. MOVING TO THE SOUTH. EXCUSE ME, SOME OTHER IMAGES OF THE RESIDENCES IN THE ENCLAVE. YOU CAN SEE THIS ONE AGAIN. MAIN STONE MASSING, SOME BRICK DETAILING ABOVE THE WINDOWS AND SILLS AND LINTELS. STRING COURSES, THE BRICK DETAILING OF THE PIERS AND THE SIDEWALL WOULD AGAIN PLAY HOMAGE TO THE OTHER COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE GOLF CLUB

[01:15:07]

THE TWO UNITS ON EITHER SIDE. THIS PLAN HAS ROTATED NOW. SO A UNIT A IS A TWO BEDROOM TWO CAR UNIT, AGAIN WITH VIEWS OF THE 12TH GREEN AND ITS OWN PRIVATE PATIO. AND THEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS A ONE BEDROOM, ONE CAR GARAGE UNIT, MORE OR LESS A LOFT STUDIO OR LOFT. ONE BEDROOM.

EXCUSE ME. ADJACENT TO THE 13TH HOLE TEE BOX, BOTH WITH THEIR OWN SEPARATE MOTOR COURTS AND PROVIDING A COVERED WALKWAY FOR PEDESTRIANS ALONG THE SIDEWALK. I SHOULD NOTE THAT EXISTING CART PATH DOES NOT CHANGE. WE'RE STILL. THAT'S STILL EXISTS AS IS, AND WE'RE MAINTAINING ON THE 12TH GREEN SIDE, A 20 FOOT SETBACK OFF OF THE PROPERTY LINE ADJACENT TO THAT HOLE ON THE SECOND FLOOR. YOU CAN SEE ON THE UNIT A THE TWO BEDROOMS AND SPANNING THEN HEAD OF POND ROAD IS A STUDY OR OFFICE WITH VIEWS UP AND DOWN THE STREET, SIMILAR TO SESSIONS VILLAGE, AND UNIT B HAS THE ONE BEDROOM OVERLOOKING THE LOFT OF THE GREAT ROOM BELOW. THIS IS A PROPOSED INITIAL IDEA OF WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE. AGAIN, YOU'RE APPROACHING THIS ENTRY COURT HERE AND THE STRUCTURE GIVES THE APPEARANCE OR THE ILLUSION OF THE ORIGINAL CARRIAGE HOUSE THAT STEPPED DOWN TO SAY, AMASSING SIMILAR TO A STABLE OR A GARAGE THAT HAS BEEN CONVERTED. AND AS YOU PASS THROUGH THIS, YOU ENTER THEN INTO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS SIMILAR IDEAS FROM THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT IS DISTINCTLY UNIQUE IN TERMS OF ITS MATERIALS AND ITS ARCHITECTURAL STYLE. AND THEN A VIEW OF AN AERIAL VIEW SHOWING BOTH OF THE ENTRY COURTS OR MOTOR COURTS. I SHOULD SAY, FOR BOTH UNITS, THE USE OF MATERIAL AND THE LAYERING OF THE DIFFERENT PORCHES AND ROOFS.

FINALLY MOVING UP TO THE NORTH ENTRY. FOR THIS ONE. GIVE ME A MOMENT. THERE WE GO. THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE LOT. AS TOM MENTIONED, THE LOTS PULLED BACK ABOUT 75FT FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THAT'S PLANNED TO BE HEAVILY PLANTED WITH MORE TREES TO AGAIN GIVE THIS ILLUSION THAT YOU'RE KIND OF DRIVING THROUGH THIS LANDSCAPED AREA BEFORE YOU GET TO THIS PORTAL. THIS LOT HAS GREAT VIEWS OF THE 15TH GREEN, THE 16TH TEE BOX AND THE 12TH HOLE COMING DOWN THIS WAY. SO IT'S ACTUALLY A VERY PRIME LOT. AND WE'VE POSITIONED THE BUILDING RIGHT NOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT IN ORDER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE THEN OF THE PORTAL OR THE COVERED MOMENT THAT YOU'RE PASSING UNDER INTO THE COMMUNITY. WE'RE CREATING AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT ACCESSED OFF OF THE SMALL ENTRY ADJACENT TO THE GARAGE. THERE'S PUBLIC COVERED WALKWAYS. AND AS I NOTE, THEN THE COVERED VEHICULAR PORTAL AND THEN UPSTAIRS WOULD AGAIN BE AN OFFICE, A LOUNGE, A GYM, WHATEVER PROGRAMING WOULD, THE RESIDENT WOULD WANT TO USE IT FOR, AND THEN THIS WOULD BE THEN THE VIEW ENTERING FROM THAT ANGLE AGAIN, CROSSING THROUGH THIS MASSING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND UNIQUELY WITH THIS ONE, YOU THEN LOOK THROUGH THIS TYPICALLY RIGHT ON AXIS, AND YOU CAN SEE UNDERNEATH THE TREE CANOPIES, BEYOND OUT TO THE

[01:20:04]

YES. ONE MORE. YEAH. ONE MORE SLIDE. SORRY. JUST UP I MEAN I, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S JUST THERE WEREN'T ANY HOUSES INDICATED HERE. THERE'S STILL PLANNING TO BE BUILT THERE.

YEAH. THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE. OH OKAY. THAT'S AN EXHIBIT FROM A PHASING DIAGRAM. HOW WILL THE LOTS BE RELEASED? I SUSPECT THOSE WILL COME AS A THEY WILL BE RELEASED AT A AT A LATER DATE. WE WON'T RELEASE ALL 40 LOTS AT ONCE. YEAH, BUT YES, THOSE WILL ABSOLUTELY STILL BE BUILT. GOT IT. OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S. THAT WAS MY ONLY QUESTION. YEAH. TOM. DID I SEE IT ON ALL THE STRUCTURES THAT THE THREE STRUCTURES THAT YOU HAD OUTLINED IS THAT TOP PART THAT GOES OVER THE ROAD? I THINK ALMOST IN ALL THREE OF THEM, THAT'S JUST BELONGS TO ONE PARTICULAR UNIT, RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW, I MISSED THE FIRST ONE, BUT I THOUGHT THE SECOND AND THIRD WERE LIKE THAT. THIS IS ONE UNIT. THIS ONE WOULD BELONG TO THE NORTHERN UNIT, THE SECTION OF THE ROAD, THE ENTRANCE INTO THE ENCLAVE. IT'S ACTUALLY SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE.

OKAY. SO THAT HALF GOES TO ONE SIDE, THE OTHER HALF GOES TO THE OTHER. ALL RIGHT. AND WHAT WAS THE COMMENT ON THE KITCHEN. THAT YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY ADDING THAT OKAY. I MEAN THE ADDITIONAL.

OKAY OKAY. THANK YOU. AND I KNOW YOU MENTIONED IT. YOU KNOW, THE THING THAT COMES TO MIND IS THE LIFE SAVING PORTION. YEAH, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND TOWNSHIP. YOU HAD ANY COMMENTS? YES. SO A LOT OF COMMENTS. RIGHT. SO TURNING RADIUSES AROUND THE ENCLAVE CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL FOR THOSE PORTIONS OF THE STRUCTURE THAT'S ABOVE THE ROAD, ANNUAL INSPECTION OF THOSE STRUCTURES. SO AGAIN IT'S BEEN A COORDINATION ISSUE BETWEEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE CITY ENGINEER AND THE CITY ADMINISTRATION TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THOSE THINGS ARE DOCUMENTED AND MEET THEIR EXPECTATIONS. AS KEVIN MENTIONED, THE HEIGHT IS HIGHER THAN WHAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT NEEDS. FIRE DEPARTMENT NEEDS 13FT, FIVE INCHES, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WE WENT HIGHER THAN THAT TO 14 SEVEN TO ACCOMMODATE THE MOVING VANS. I WAS PLEASED WITH THAT.

SO IT'S AN ONGOING COMMUNICATION THAT WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM ON WHEN WE GET TO THE POINT OF FINAL, FINAL DESIGN AND BUILDING PERMITS. BUT WE HAVE KIND OF THE FRAMEWORK WITHIN WHICH TO WORK MEET TO MEET THEIR EXPECTATIONS OF NEEDS. AND TOM, THIS WOULD BE A VERY UNUSUAL AND HOPEFULLY NEVER HAPPEN SITUATION. BUT IF FOR SOME UNFORESEEN REASON, EARTHQUAKE, STRONG WINDS, I DON'T KNOW, SOMETHING THAT KNOCKS THAT UNIT DOWN THAT'S OVER THE ROAD ONTO THE GROUND. DO WE HAVE ACCESS TO GET TO THE OTHER UNITS? I'M LAUGHING BECAUSE THAT QUESTION'S BEEN ASKED OF US. YES. SO IF IN THE ODD SITUATION WHERE BOTH OF THESE WENT DOWN AT THE SAME TIME, OR PERHAPS THAT ONE WENT DOWN INDEPENDENTLY, WE'VE BEEN ASKED, THIS IS THIS IS A PARK AT THE INTERSECTION OF LAMPTON AND GRANT. THERE'S A TRAIL YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THAT EXTENDS THROUGH THE GOLF COURSE. TO GET TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO SUPPLEMENT THAT TRAIL TO BE A MINIMUM OF TEN FEET IN WIDTH TO ACCOMMODATE EMERGENCY ACCESS VEHICLES GOING IN AND OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SIMILARLY, THE GOLF COURSE PATH THAT EXTENDS ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF THESE LOTS SUPPLEMENT THAT TO MEET THOSE EXPECTATIONS AS WELL. OKAY, SO AT ALL TIMES WE CAN HAVE ACCESS TO A PAID A PAID SERVICE A PAID SERVICE. YEAH. OKAY. I THINK THE DIMENSIONS TEN FEET IS WHAT WE WERE ASKED TO DO. AND THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE, YOU KNOW, LADDER 21 OR WHATEVER WE NEED. OKAY. AND THEN THIS IS THE FINAL PLAT. BUT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, IS IT JUST THE RETENTION POND OR ALL OF THE STORMWATER FROM THIS PROJECT WILL BE WITHIN THAT EXIST THE WELL IT'S EXISTING BUT IT WILL BE MOVED. STORMWATER BASIN. YES. AND THEN DO THOSE BASINS CONNECT

[01:25:03]

IS THERE ANY ADDED LIABILITY TO THE CITY, RISK WISE, OF HAVING AN OCCUPIED SPACE OVER A PUBLIC ROAD? I'M JUST ENVISIONING AT SOME POINT KIDS MIGHT LIVE IN THESE, AND THOSE ARE WINDOWS AND THERE'S CARS DRIVING UNDERNEATH. AND THAT WAS TEN ONCE AND KIND OF DROP WATER BALLOONS OR SOMETHING OUT THE WINDOWS. THE CARS COME UNDER. YEAH. SO GENERALLY THE ANSWER IS NO. THE WAY THAT'S SET UP WE WORKED WITH AARON, AND AARON DID A REAL NICE JOB PUTTING LANGUAGE IN THE AGREEMENT. THAT IS ALL CAPS BOLD AND UNDERLINED, PRETTY MUCH DISCLAIMING ANY CLAIM THAT THEY MAY HAVE AGAINST THE CITY AS IT RELATES TO ANY ISSUE THAT MAY ARISE. SO HOWEVER, THAT AGREEMENT SET UP IS GOING TO INSULATE THE CITY AS BEST AS POSSIBLE FROM LIABILITY. THE CITY IS ALSO AN ADDITIONAL INSURED UNDER THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT. THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS OF LIABILITY INSURANCE. THERE ARE. THERE ARE REFERENCES TO, YOU KNOW, THE SNOW PLOW GOES THROUGH AT THREE IN THE MORNING AND WAKES PEOPLE UP WHO I MEAN, I KNOW WE'RE NOT PLANNING TO HAVE PEOPLE NECESSARILY SLEEPING UP THERE, BUT THERE ARE REFERENCES TO ANY FORESEEABLE SITUATION THAT WE CAN COME UP WITH AT THIS POINT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY IS NOT LIABLE AND THAT THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IS RECOGNIZING THAT THERE COULD BE INCONVENIENCES THAT WOULD OCCUR. ADDITIONALLY, I THINK TOM MENTIONED THIS EARLIER. WE INCLUDED REQUIREMENTS FOR ANNUAL STRUCTURAL INSPECTIONS, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DO WITH OUR COMMUNITY BRIDGES. WE'VE ALSO INCLUDED PROVISIONS IN THE EVENT OF A BANKRUPTCY. THE THERE'LL BE A DEDICATED HOA THAT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PARTICULAR SUBDIVISION, THAT HOA WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE DETERIORATION OF THE STRUCTURE IN THE EVENT THAT THE OWNER WENT BANKRUPT. SO THERE'S SOME I THINK, AGAIN, WE'VE WE'VE TRIED TO BE VERY THOUGHTFUL ABOUT EVERY POSSIBLE SCENARIO. AARON'S BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE IN ADDRESSING OUR CONCERNS. I THINK THERE'S STILL A LITTLE BIT OF LANGUAGE THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD BE. WE'RE WE'RE PROBABLY MAYBE A WEEK OR SO AWAY FROM HAVING THAT, THAT DOCUMENT IN FINAL FORM. YOU KNOW, INTERESTINGLY, THROUGH THE THIS PROCESS, YOU KNOW, WE THOUGHT, GEEZ, WE NEED TO REACH OUT TO THE BANKS IS A LENDER. WHEN YOU GET A MORTGAGE FOR ONE OF THESE HOMES, WHAT WILL THEIR REACTION BE? HOW WILL THEY ADDRESS THIS? THEY WEREN'T AS CONCERNED AS THE INSURANCE COMPANIES. THE INSURANCE COMPANIES WERE THE ONES THAT HAD A MUCH MORE ROBUST LIST OF REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE PROTECTION AND INSPECTION THINGS AND ALL THESE THINGS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED. A REAL EYE OPENER FOR ME AS WE WENT THROUGH THIS. YEAH, WE TRY TO THINK OF EVERY WORST CASE SCENARIO POSSIBLE. THAT'S HOW WE CAME WITH THE CART PATHS COMING AROUND TO TRY TO ACCESS IT IN THE EVENT OF AN EARTHQUAKE WHERE ALL THREE OF THEM BLOCK ACCESS. WE, WE WE'VE TRIED TO ADDRESS EVERY POSSIBLE SITUATION. IT'S BEEN DONE BEFORE. RIGHT? I MEAN, THERE'S AN EXAMPLE IN POWELL. THERE'S AN EXAMPLE IN BEXLEY. SO WE BELIEVE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE EFFORT THAT THIS IS TAKING. AND WE APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S HARD WORK AND DEDICATION BECAUSE WE'RE BUILDING A DIFFERENT MOUSETRAP HERE, A BETTER MOUSETRAP HERE. THAT REQUIRES ALL OF US TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. AND IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN, AS I SAID, ENLIGHTENING AND A JOY TO WORK WITH THE TEAM HERE IN NEW ALBANY. YEAH, IT'S DEFINITELY UNIQUE. I MEAN, I THINK IT LOOKS PRETTY COOL. WE'RE IN ESSENCE JUST TREATING THIS ALMOST LIKE A BRIDGE, RIGHT? IT'S LIKE A BRIDGE OR SOMETHING. BRIDGE STRUCTURE. YEAH, FOR THE MOST PART. RIGHT. JUST LIKE THE APARTMENTS OVER HERE. JUST LIKE RIGHT. LIKE RIGHT DOWNTOWN. YEAH, EXACTLY. SO TWO QUESTIONS.

ONE. WITH THESE ROADS. AND YOU SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE AN HOA AND YOU'RE RESTRUCTURING THE ROADS AND EVERYTHING. IS THERE ANY FINANCIAL LIABILITY OR COST TO US WITH ALL THESE CHANGES? THERE IS A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF THE MODIFIED PAVEMENT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, SO THAT THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE ANY FINANCIAL OBLIGATION FOR

[01:30:06]

IT'S THE SAFETY PLOWS. THEY HAD US DRIVE. WE DID THE RODEO ONCE. WE RAN INTO THE MAILBOX. YEAH, OKAY. THERE WAS A I THINK YOU ADDRESSED IT EARLIER WITH THE HEIGHT AND THE FIRE TRUCKS. BUT THE QUESTION CAME IN, WE'VE CONSIDERED NOT JUST FIRE TRUCKS. GARBAGE TRUCKS. YEAH. YOU REFERENCED MOVING VANS. CORRECT. 13 SEVEN IS OUR IS OUR HEIGHT OKAY. TURNING RADIUSES WERE ONE OF THE BIGGEST TRICKS THROUGH THROUGH THE CLOSE. NOT ONLY THAT HEIGHT DIMENSION, BUT THE WIDTH AND THE TURNING DIMENSIONS FOR THE MOVING TRUCKS, THE FIRE TRUCKS AND THE LIKE. I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT ON STREET PARKING. I'M SURE THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME LIMITATIONS ON PARKING ON THE STREETS OF, YOU KNOW, THE ENCLAVE AND PERHAPS THE ENTRANCES FOR SURE. YEAH, SOME OF THE ENTRANCES ARE NARROWED DOWN TO 20FT. BOTH THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH. SO THERE WILL OBVIOUSLY BE NO PARKING THERE. I BELIEVE THERE IS. THERE IS A WE DO HAVE NO PARKING ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET ON STREET PARKING IS PERMITTED ON ON THE MAIN DRIVE ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET, THE OPPOSITE OF THE FIRE HYDRANT. OKAY. ON HEADER POND. CORRECT. OKAY. THAT'S GOOD.

FINAL PLAN. ANY GUESS? I'M SORRY. GONNA COME. WHEN'S THE FINAL PLAT? FINAL PLAT IS ALSO ON YOUR AGENDA. IT'S NEXT 30 TONIGHT. 32. UP NEXT. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE ON THE ORDINANCE? ALL RIGHT, THEN I'LL GO AHEAD AND SET THIS FOR SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AT OUR MEETING ON JULY 15TH. NO.

I'M SORRY. AUGUST. TODAY'S THE 15TH. SORRY. AUGUST 16TH. THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. THAT TAKES US TO ORDINANCE OH 32 2025. CORRECT. AN ORDINANCE TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT FOR 40 SINGLE FAMILY HOME LOTS ON 31 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES AND EXCEPT RESERVES F, G, H, I, J AND K FOR SECTION 30 OF THE NEW ALBANY COUNTRY CLUB, LOCATED NORTH AND WEST OF LAMBTON PARK ROAD AND SOUTH OF BRANNAN ROAD, IS REQUESTED BY THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY, LLC. CARE OF AARON UNDERHILL, ESQUIRE. JUST A SECOND TO GET SWITCHED OVER HERE. SORRY. SO SORRY. YES.

AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS IS A FINAL PLAT ORDINANCE. THIS FINAL PLAT WILL ALLOW FOR SEVERAL, AGAIN, RELATIVELY MINOR MODIFICATIONS TO THE NEW ALBANY COUNTRY CLUB SECTION 30 SUBDIVISION. THESE INCLUDE SOME CHANGES TO THE LOT ORIENTATION, AGAIN PROVIDING OR DELINEATING THE NEW AREAS THAT ARE BEING BROUGHT INTO THE SUBDIVISION AS PART OF THE REZONING APPLICATION. THERE ARE SOME MINOR VARIATIONS OF EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY AND NEW RIGHT OF WAYS ESTABLISHED BY AND LARGE, ALL OF THE PARKLAND AND OPEN SPACE RESERVES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY INCLUDED IN THE FIRST ITERATION OF SECTION 30 STILL REMAIN. AS PART OF THIS

[01:35:03]

THE SECOND THING I WANTED TO MENTION WAS THIS IS THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER IS GOING TO BE RECORDED. SO WE'LL SHOW UP IN EVERYBODY'S TITLE DOCUMENTS, AND WE'LL NEVER LOOK AT WHEN WE BUY A HOME, BUT IT WILL BE THERE. SO THEY'LL BE ON NOTICE OF IT. AND, YOU KNOW, AS, AS BEN MENTIONED, I BECAUSE JOE UNDERSCORED A NUMBER OF ITEMS THAT HE WANTED TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR ON, THAT PEOPLE HAD NOTICE OF IT IS BOLDED, UNDERLINED, ETC. IN THE DOCUMENT, SO YOU CAN'T MISS IT. JUST ONE QUESTION ON THE PERIMETER ADJACENT TO THE GOLF COURSES. IS THAT GOING TO BE WHITE? HORSE FENCING AGAIN ON THE BACKS OF THOSE LOTS WILL NOT BE WHITE HORSE FENCE. IT'LL BE SINGLE RAIL, DARK GREEN HORSE BACKS. THE AMERICAN ELM TREES THAT WERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ORIGINALLY HAVE BEEN THAT WERE TAKEN OUT. THOSE WERE MOVED TO THE PERIMETER SO THAT THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENT, AS WE HAD DISCUSSED THE LAST TIME, WILL REMAIN THE SAME. THERE'S STILL FENCING. IT WILL NOT BE THREE RAIL WHITE HORSE FENCE.

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO MAXIMIZE THE VIEWS FROM THE BACKS OF THESE HOMES ONTO THE COURSE. IT WILL BE SINGLE RAIL, DARK HORSE FENCE. IT'S THE HEIGHT OF IT. I WANT TO SAY IT'S TWO FEET, MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT'S THE SAME SINGLE RAIL HORSE FENCE THAT EXISTS OVER AT RICHMOND SQUARE IN INSIDE RICHMOND SQUARE, AND ALSO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF 62. MIKE, WERE YOU CAN ENJOY A LOT OF GOLFERS GOING INTO THEIR BACKYARD. THAT'S I'M GOING TO SAY, MIKE, YOU CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING YOUR BALLS OR. NO, I DON'T HIT OVER THERE. BUT I JUST KNOW AS A FACT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF GOLF BALLS. THERE'S LOTS, AND A TWO FOOT FENCE IS HARDLY A BARRIER TO PEOPLE WANDERING INTO THESE YARDS. THE IDEA OF THE FENCE IS, IS, IS AS MUCH TO

[01:40:02]

ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. RUBY. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND SET THIS FOR SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING IN OUR MEETING ON AUGUST 5TH. RESOLUTIONS AND PUBLIC HEARING

THEY'RE ON THE CLOCK. SCHOOL GOES BACK JUST A LITTLE OVER A MONTH. L THROUGH Z GOES BACK ON AUGUST 18TH, A THROUGH K ON AUGUST 19TH, AND THE FULL SCHOOL WILL BE BACK ON AUGUST 20TH. SO GET THOSE LAST MINUTE SUMMER VACATIONS IN BECAUSE THE BELL IS ABOUT TO RING. THE BIGGEST NEWS OF THE NIGHT WAS THE DISCUSSION OF THE BELL TO BELL NO CELL PHONE USE POLICY ON CAMPUS THAT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED THIS SCHOOL YEAR, IN LINE WITH STATE GUIDELINES. THERE WILL BE NO CELL PHONE USE FROM THE FIRST BELL TO THE LAST BELL, WITH SOME LIMITED EXCEPTIONS SUCH AS HEALTH CARE. AND THIS INCLUDES ALL COMMUNICATION DEVICES, INCLUDING SMART WATCHES. SO YES, THEY'RE TAKING IT VERY SERIOUSLY. SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN YOU HAD TO GET A HOLD OF YOUR KID, YOU HAD TO CALL THE OFFICE AND RING THE ROOM, AND IT'S GOING TO BE THAT GOOD OLD TIMES, BUT THAT WILL BE THE POLICY. SO GOT FRIENDS OF KIDS AND START SPREADING THE WORD, BECAUSE I THINK THE SCHOOL BOARD IS EXPECTING SOME QUESTIONS FROM PARENTS AS TO HOW THEY'RE GOING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THEIR KIDS. SO THAT WAS THE BIG DISCUSSION OF THE NIGHT. LIKE I SAID, FAIRLY SHORT MEETING. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE.

ANYTHING FROM TOWNSHIP? THEY DID HAVE A MEETING. JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. FULL MEMBERSHIPS HAVE BEEN STRONG AND $7,000 MORE THAN LAST YEAR. AND EVERYTHING DAILY SALES ARE DOWN PRINCIPALLY BECAUSE OF WEATHER. AND THAT WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRE STATION, THEY HAVE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY RELATIVE TO SPLITTING THE LOT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD AS A JOINT PROJECT, AND ONLY USING THIS 6.35 NORTHERN PORTION OF THAT LOT. IT'S STILL NOT FORMALLY DONATED TO THEM. APPARENTLY NOBODY COMPANY, ETCETERA IS WORKING THROUGH THE PROCESS, BUT THAT'S THE DIRECTION IT'S GOING. THERE WERE ALSO QUESTIONS ABOUT AEP DISTRIBUTION LINES AND THINGS BEING INSTALLED IN THE PROPERTY NORTH OF THAT. OKAY, THE CURRENT PLAN IS TO HAVE THE FIRE SUBSTATION HAVE ACCESS OFF OF 605, BUT NOT OFF OF NEW ALBANY ROAD. SO BASICALLY THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY THERE, ALL OF THAT IS IN PROCESS.

THEY'RE WORKING WITH ARCHITECTS. THEY'RE ALSO WORKING ON COMPLETING SOME OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE BOND ISSUANCE THAT THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH. AND THEY'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH A LOT OF THAT. A LOT OF IT IS DEPENDENT ON DESIGN AND FINALIZATION AND LAND AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. THEY DID IN TERMS OF THAT WAS THE GENERAL MEETING. THEY HAD A PRESENTATION ABOUT THE GOLD STAR FAMILY MEMORIAL THAT'S TALKED ABOUT WITH OUR ROSE RUN AND VETERANS MEMORIAL PROJECT, THE GROUP THAT'S PUTTING THAT'S BUILDING THAT. AND I'LL PASS THIS AROUND, HAS RAISED ABOUT $100,000. THEY NEED ANOTHER $50,000 TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT. AND THE PICTURE ON THE FRONT HERE IS TO BE AN ALL BRONZE PLAQUE STATUE. AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SOME SUPPORT FROM THE TOWNSHIP AND POTENTIALLY FROM THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY FOR THAT FINAL $50,000.

THE TOWNSHIP HAS STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER GIVING HALF OF THAT, OR 25,000, IF WE AS A

[01:50:05]

SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK AT. THE PARTICULARS BOTH LEGALLY AND ADMINISTRATIVELY, AND HOW THAT MIGHT FIT INTO OUR BUDGETS. SO IT WAS AN ASK. AND AGAIN FROM KERRI MILLER, THEY WERE SUPPORTIVE OF DOING SOMETHING AND WANTED TO SEE WHERE WE WOULD BE. OKAY, THANKS FOR THAT UPDATE. HEY MIKE, REAL QUICK, WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FUTURE FIRE STATION, WAS THAT ON THE WERE THEY LOOKING AT THE. I KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CUT THAT IN HALF BECAUSE OF DIAGONAL. YOU'VE GOT THAT DIAGONAL GUY WITH THE GAS STATION. THEY DID NOT HAVE A DRAWING OF HOW THEY WOULD JUST SPLIT IT, BUT THEY'D BE IN THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE NORTHERN PORTION BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY CAN'T BUILD ON THE GAS LINE. RIGHT. OR DEAL WITH THAT. SO THEY'D BE ON WHATEVER THAT 6.3 ACRES WOULD BE, AND IT WOULD ACCESS OUT ONTO THE 605, 605 ACCESS. YEAH. OKAY. AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY SELLING THE BOTTOM HALF. I'M NOT SURE TO WHO OR WHAT OR HOW THEY DEVELOP IT, BUT NOT TO THE, NOT TO THE TOWNSHIP, BUT TO SOME OTHER PROPERTY, SOME OTHER PROPERTY OWNER TO BE DETERMINED. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. REPORTS TO CITY

[15. REPORTS OF CITY OFFICIALS]

I HAVE A LONG SCHEDULED FRANKLIN COUNTY TAX INCENTIVE REVIEW COMMISSION MEETING. I NOW HAVE A POTENTIAL CONFLICT WITH MY DAY JOB. IF THERE'S ANYONE THAT IS AVAILABLE TOMORROW AT 9:00 TO HEAR THE FANTASTIC PRESENTATION FROM OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO THE COUNTY AUDITOR, ANYONE I CAN, I CAN, I CAN DO IT. YOU CAN DO IT AT 9:00 TOMORROW, 9:00. HERE. WAIT. WHAT TIME IS IT? WHERE IS IT? RIGHT HERE. RIGHT HERE? YEAH. AND THIS? IN THIS ROOM. OKAY. THANK YOU. I OWE YOU ONE. OKAY. PROBABLY. THANK YOU. GET TO SIT IN THE BIG CHAIR, TOO. ACTUALLY, WE JUST SIT DOWN HERE, FIGHT IT OUT. SHE WAS ABLE. ALL RIGHT. I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. ANY UPDATE FROM THE CLERK? TWO ITEMS. THANK YOU TO COUNCIL FOR GETTING BACK TO ME QUICKLY, BOTH ON THE POTENTIAL DATES IN SEPTEMBER FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS. AND THEN WHAT? I POKED YOU ALL BACK AGAIN ABOUT. HOW ABOUT THOSE NODES? WHAT ARE THEY? I TOOK THE DATES BACK TO STAFF AND STAFF WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GO ON THAT FRIDAY. SO FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH. COUNCIL MEMBER DEREK, WE WILL GET YOU OUT BY 230. I BELIEVE THAT WAS THAT WAS YOUR LINE. 233 YOU NEEDED AROUND THERE SOMEWHERE. OKAY. SO WE'LL START. WE'LL START IN THE MORNING. AS WE GET CLOSER. I'LL GET A BETTER FEEL FROM STAFF HOW MANY HOURS THEY WANT, WHETHER WE NEED TO START AT 830, OR IF WE STILL START AT NINE AND HAVE ENOUGH HOURS TO BE DONE BY 233, WE'LL HAVE LUNCH AND IT'LL BE A FUN DAY AS ALWAYS. SO I'LL SEND OUT AN EMAIL, BUT BLOCK PLEASE. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH FROM AT LEAST 830 TO 230. MORE TO COME ON. THAT. ALSO, THE FLEETWOOD GOLD CONCERT. AS YOU PROBABLY

[01:55:07]

OUR EXPENSES ARE ONLY AT ABOUT 37% OF OUR BUDGET FOR THE YEAR. SO THEY ARE TRACKING WELL. THE INCREASE IS PRIMARILY DUE TO WITHHOLDINGS, PRIMARILY CONSTRUCTION, I WOULD SAY ABOUT 4.5 MILLION OF THE INCREASE WITHIN, AS CALCULATED BELOW, WOULD BE DUE THE DUE TO THE WITHHOLDINGS AND INCOME TAX IN THE GENERAL FUND. THE SECOND AND THIRD PAGES ARE THE SUMMARY OF THE FUNDS AND THEIR BALANCES, AND THEN THE INVESTMENTS ARE ALSO INCLUDED. ON THE LAST COUPLE PAGES, I DID ATTACH ALSO THE SUMMARY SCORECARD THAT WE JUST RECEIVED FROM OUR JUNE, OUR SECOND QUARTER OF 2025 FOR CASH FEST. AND I KNOW THAT I'VE HAD SOME QUESTIONS LATELY, NOT LATELY, BUT OVER THE PAST ON WHAT THEY GRADE AND WHAT THEY DO. AND SO THAT SUMMARY IS ATTACHED FOR YOUR TO VIEW AND THE DIFFERENT GRADE OR THE DIFFERENT AREAS THAT THEY GRADE ON. SO. LOOK GOOD. I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU JOE. ANY UPDATE THREE QUICK ITEMS. WELL TWO QUICK ITEMS. ONE MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER. THE FIRST HEALTHY NEW ALBANY FARMERS MARKET IS PLANNING TO HAVE A LADIES NIGHT ON AUGUST 7TH. DURING THE MARKET HOURS.

THE NORMAL MARKET HOURS ARE FROM 4 P.M. TO 7 P.M. WE. THAT'S ALSO THE DATE THAT WE HAVE THE DORA AND WHAT THEY'VE ASKED FOR. BY THE WAY THE DORA BEGINS AT 5 P.M. THEY'VE ASKED FOR A SPECIAL EXCEPTION ON AUGUST 7TH, ONLY TO BEGIN THE DORA AT 4 P.M. SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE RUSTY BUCKET SELL THEM RUM PUNCH THAT APPARENTLY THEY'RE MAKING SPECIALLY FOR THIS EVENT. WHAT IS THIS EVENT? LADIES NIGHT AT THE FARMERS MARKET. LADIES WITH RUM PUNCH AT 4:00. WHAT DO THE MEN GET FOR MEN'S? THIS IS. THIS IS FUN. SO IF COUNCIL SUPPORTIVE, I WOULD REQUEST A MOTION AUTHORIZING THE AMENDMENT OF THE DORA HOURS FOR AUGUST 7TH, ONLY TO BEGIN AT 4 P.M. INSTEAD OF 5 P.M. OKAY, SO THAT'S ALL I MOVE THAT WE AMEND THE DORA HOURS FOR AUGUST 7TH TO ALLOW FOR ALCOHOL SALES TO START AT 4 P.M. SECOND FOR LADIES NIGHT FOR LADIES. I WANT THAT TO BE PART OF THE MOTION. LADIES NIGHT, LADIES NIGHT. DORA. ON THAT MOTION, MAYOR SPALDING. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WILTROUT.

YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DEREK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. FELLOWS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. KISS. YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER. SCHULTZ. MY EASIEST VOTE FOR YES TONIGHT IS SIX. YES. VOTES FOR THAT SONG IS STUCK IN MY. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE CHIEF ADD ADDITIONAL POLICE PROTECTION DURING THAT NIGHT. THE SECOND ITEM VERY QUICKLY. IF COUNCIL DOESN'T HAVE ANY OBJECTION, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A VACATION NEXT WEEK FOR TAKE CARE OF SOME HOME REPAIRS. AND JUST I ONLY ONLY IF YOU'RE GOING TO. ONLY IF YOU RECREATE NOT WORK EXACTLY RIGHT. AND THEN I WILL. I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHO I CHOOSE TO BE ACTING CITY MANAGER. OKAY. AND THEN FINALLY, ANDREA HAS BEEN VOLUNTEERING LATELY FOR A LOT, SO I'LL DO IT. RIGHT THERE. AND THEN THE LAST ITEM. I ASKED CHIEF JONES TO PREPARE A SHORT PRESENTATION REGARDING THE POLICE STATION EXPANSION, WHICH ALSO WOULD INCLUDE THE. BASICALLY A BACKUP DISPATCH CENTER, WHICH IS REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF OHIO, AS WELL AS A RELOCATED TRAINING ROOM. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT POTENTIALLY MOVING THE TRAINING ROOM OUT OF THE EXISTING BUILDING IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE ITS SPACE FOR OTHER CRITICAL POLICE RELATED FUNCTIONS, AND THEN THE LAST ITEM WOULD BE A SHOOTING RANGE. SO HERE'S A SHORT PRESENTATION FOR YOU I LIKE IT, I DON'T WANT TO KEEP YOU, SO I'LL KEEP IT SHORT. BUT JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND ON HOW WE ENDED UP HERE IS WHEN WE WERE WORKING

[02:00:01]

IT'S JUST SOUTH OF SAINT LEWISVILLE. AND THEY'VE BEEN VERY GRACIOUS OVER A DECADE.

THEY'VE ALLOWED US TO USE IT FOR FREE. IS THAT WHERE WE ALWAYS GO? YEAH, THAT'S WHERE THE STATE QUALIFIES TO. YEAH, IT'S AN INTERESTING FACILITY. YEAH, IT'S. WELL THEN YOU KIND OF KNOW WHERE THIS IS HEADED. THE THEY'VE BEEN VERY NICE. THEY'VE BEEN THEY'VE BEEN NEWARK IS GREAT TO WORK WITH. THE SECRET SERVICE WAS OUT THERE WITH US THE LAST TIME I WAS OUT THERE.

THERE'S LIKE 14 ENTITIES, INCLUDING POLICE ACADEMY. COX POLICE ACADEMY USED THE RANGE.

NEWARK DOES A GREAT JOB OF MAKING IT ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYBODY. BUT OVER THE YEARS, IT HAS GOTTEN TO BE A LITTLE BIT. TOUGH TO GET INTO. SO THERE'S SO MANY ENTITIES USING IT NOW THAT WHEN WE TRY TO BOOK TIME FOR THE RANGE, IT'S USUALLY ABOUT THREE MONTHS OUT BEFORE WE CAN GET IN. AS I SAID, IT'S ABOUT AN HOUR AND TEN MINUTES ROUND TRIP FOR OUR STAFF AS WELL. AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS THAT WITH AN OUTDOOR RANGE, IT'S MISSING SOME OF THE TRAINING AMENITIES THAT YOU CAN DO AT AN INDOOR RANGE. ALSO, SINCE IT'S SUCH A LONG TRIP AND WE END UP TAKING OUR PICKUP AND TRAILER AND TAKING A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT WE NEED OUT TO THE RANGE AS WELL. SO THERE'S ABOUT A 45 MINUTE SETUP TIME BEFORE ANYBODY STARTS TRAINING, AND ABOUT A 45 MINUTE TEAR DOWN TIME AT THE END. THE THEY DO A GREAT JOB AT THE RANGE IS REALLY HELPFUL. WE WOULD PROBABLY STILL USE IT FROM TIME TO TIME. IT GIVES US A LOT OF ROOM TO MOVE.

WE CAN BRING CARS ONTO THE ONTO NOT GOOD CARS, BUT BRING CARS ONTO THE RANGE BECAUSE THEY DO GET SHOT UP. BUT THE AND THEN SO THERE'S A LOT OF ADVANTAGES THAT WE WOULD PUT A RANGE HERE LOCALLY. SO ONE MIGHT ASK WELL WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER SUBURBS THAT ARE NEAR US ABOUT USING THEIR RANGE. SO ON THE INDOOR RANGES WHICH BY THE WAY THERE'S YOU'RE KIND OF WONDERING WHO HAS THEM. SO AS FAR AS OTHER JURISDICTIONS THAT HAVE INDOOR RANGES, IF YOU'RE CURIOUS, DUBLIN, WESTERVILLE, REYNOLDSBURG, HILLIARD AND WHITEHALL, GAHANNA WILL WHEN THEY'RE OPEN THEIR NEW FACILITY IN DECEMBER OF THIS YEAR. SO THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT RESPONDED. SO IT'S PROBABLY NOT AN ALL INCLUSIVE LIST, BUT TYPICALLY ON THE INDOOR RANGES, THEY DON'T JUST GIVE YOU THE KEYS UNTIL YOU TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AT THE END. SO THEY END UP HAVING A RANGE OFFICER THERE AS WELL TO RUN IT. SO FOR TRAINING OUR DEPARTMENT AND QUALIFYING WOULD BE A BIG ASK FOR US TO USE ANOTHER SUBURB FOR THAT REASON. SO THE RANGE, BY THE WAY, THE PICTURE, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING. THAT'S JUST A PICTURE THAT SHOWS A LOT MORE STALLS THAN WHAT WE WOULD PROPOSE. SO THE FOR FIREARMS TRAINING, IF WE HAD A FACILITY HERE IN NEW ALBANY, BASICALLY WE TAKE LARGE GROUPS OUT THERE, TWO RANGE OFFICERS, AT LEAST SIX OFFICERS AND SPEND ALL DAY OUT THERE. YOU HAVE THE TRAVEL TIME AND A LOT OF OVERTIME THAT'S INVOLVED IN THAT. THE HAVING ONE HERE IN NEW ALBANY WOULD ALLOW US TO TRAIN IN SMALLER GROUPS. COULD BE ONE ON ONE. IT COULD, YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND REALLY CUT DOWN ON THAT TRAVEL TIME THAT WE WOULD NEED TO DO THAT. SO IF AN OFFICER, YOU KNOW, IT MAY BE THAT THEY. THEY NEED TO THEY MISS THE QUALIFICATION. THEY NEED A ONE ON ONE TO KIND OF KEEP MAKE SURE THEY'RE CURRENT. IT CAN BE EASILY DONE HERE IN NEW ALBANY. THE OTHER PART OF THE BUILDING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO HALF OF THE BUILDING IS PREDOMINANTLY RANGE. THE OTHER HALF IS A BIG MEETING SPACE. THAT WOULD BE A MEETING SPACE AND DEFENSIVE TACTICS. SO WHAT WE'RE THINKING IS, IS THAT THE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LIKE IN HIGH SCHOOL, YOU HAD THE ROLL UP GYM MATS OR THE WRESTLING MATS. IT'D BE THE SAME IDEA. THIS SPACE WOULD BE LARGER THAN ANYTHING WE HAVE AT THE PD. AS FAR AS MEETING SPACE OR DEFENSIVE TACTICS SPACE. SO THIS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS IF WE'RE USING IT FOR DEFENSIVE TACTICS, THE MATS GO DOWN, WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM TO OPERATE. IF IT'S USED FOR MEETING SPACE, WE'D HAVE THE TABLES AND CHAIRS BACK OUT AGAIN. IT COULD BE USED FOR ACTUALLY GOT TO GO INTO THAT. IT COULD BE USED FOR EVERYTHING FROM SYSTEM POLICE ACADEMY. WE COULD MEET THERE AT EVERY SESSION. BECAUSE OF ITS SIZE,

[02:05:01]

SO AS AS THE PD MOVES FROM A SECONDARY PCCEP PUBLIC SERVICE ANSWERING POINT FOR 911 MOVING TO A PRIMARY PCCEP, WE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A BACKUP SITE FOR OUR RADIO ROOM SO THAT IF WE HAD TO EVACUATE THE PD OR SOMETHING HAPPENED, WE NEEDED TO MOVE, WE WOULD HAVE THAT THAT SPACE. SO IT WOULD. THERE'S AN OFFICE IN THE PROPOSED DESIGN. THAT OFFICE WOULD BE THAT BACKUP. SO WE WOULD RUN 911 LINES AND THE RADIO COMMUNICATION LINES INTO THAT OFFICE AS WELL. AND I THINK WE RECENTLY HAD A SITUATION IN THE SERVER ROOM WHERE A BATTERY, A LARGE SCALE BATTERY BACKUP CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO COME OUT. SO WE ACTUALLY HAD TO EVACUATE THE DISPATCH CENTER AND TRANSFER CALLS TO FRANKLIN COUNTY. YEAH, THE WE REFERRED TO IT AS THE GREAT FIRE OF 24. SO BUT IT PUMPS SMOKE THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING. SO WE HAD TO EVERYBODY HAD TO LEAVE THE BUILDING FOR A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. UP HERE IS A POTENTIAL DESIGN THAT THE ARCHITECTS HAVE BEEN HELPING US WITH. IF YOU LOOK TO THE FAR RIGHT, YOU'LL SEE THAT MEETING SPACE THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. AND THEN IF YOU AS YOU MOVE TO THE LEFT A LITTLE BIT BOTTOM, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S AN OFFICE THAT'S THE, THE OFFICE AND ALSO THE BACKUP RADIO ROOM IF NEEDED. AND THEN THE ALONG THE BOTTOM OF IT. THAT LONG STRETCH WOULD BE THE RANGE. IT'S 75FT. SO IT WOULD IT WOULD MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR IT TO QUALIFY WITH MOST OF OUR WEAPONS INSIDE THAT RANGE, AND THEN ALONG THE TOP OF IT AND TO THE LEFT THAT IS COVERED PARKING. SO THE PD HAS TWO SPEED TRAILERS. WE DON'T TYPICALLY PUT THEM OUT IN THE WINTER BECAUSE THEY THEY RUST PRETTY QUICKLY. WE HAVE TWO BOX TRAILERS AND SOME OTHER VEHICLES THAT DON'T RIGHT NOW FIT AT THE PD. THOSE COVERED SPACES WOULD BE GREAT FOR THOSE USES. AND THEN ON THE FAR LEFT, A SPACE FOR A MOBILE COMMAND VEHICLE THAT WAS PROPOSED. WHERE WOULD THIS BUILDING BE? SO IT'D BE ON THE LAND AROUND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. IT WOULD BE INSIDE.

THE CURRENT FENCING OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS, BUT THE LAND EXPANDS BEYOND THAT. SO THAT'S YET TO BE DETERMINED. I THINK THAT RYAN IS WORKING WITH THERE DESIGNERS, ARCHITECTS TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THAT WOULD ACTUALLY SIT ON THAT PROPERTY. SO THE REASON I ASKED THE CHIEF TO PRESENT TONIGHT TO YOU IS BECAUSE IF WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER THIS IN THE FUTURE, WE NEED TO HAVE THE ARCHITECT START TO DO SOME, SOME, SOME ADDITIONAL WORK. SO I HAVE A PROPOSED CONTRACT ON MY DESK THAT IF YOU ARE AGREEABLE, WE HAVE THE FUNDING IN THE BUDGET FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO SIGN THE CONTRACT FOR THEM TO CONTINUE TO DO THE DESIGN WORK, THEN WE CAN COME BACK TO COUNCIL WITH A BUDGETARY NUMBER THAT YOU CAN USE TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT. SO WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT ASKING TO HAVE YOU MAKE A DECISION TONIGHT ON WHETHER OR NOT TO BUILD THIS. WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR PERMISSION TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH THE ARCHITECT TO DO THE DESIGN WORK, SO THAT WE HAVE A NUMBER THAT WE CAN BRING BACK TO YOU, AND YOU CAN MAKE A DECISION ON THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE. I THINK IT MAKES SENSE. SEE WHAT IT COST, HOW THEY DRAW OUT. YEAH. CHIEF, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO HEAR OUTSIDE THE RANGE LIKE IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE THE BUILDING, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO HEAR THE SHOTS? YEAH, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT. SO THE DESIGN OF THIS, THAT PROPOSED DESIGN IS A LOT VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT MARYSVILLE HAS. SO WE WENT UP TO MARYSVILLE AND WE TOURED IT AND WE DIDN'T SHOOT THAT DAY. I THINK THAT WAS PROBABLY AN OVERSIGHT ON MY PART TO NOT TO DO THAT TEST. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK UP THERE AGAIN, TAKE ALL THE WEAPONS THAT WE WOULD FIRE IN THERE AND WITH A DECIBEL METER, DETERMINE IF WHAT KIND OF NOISE COMES OUT OF THAT. IN TALKING TO THE COMPANY THAT ACTUALLY DESIGNS AND INSTALLS THE ACTUAL RANGE PART, NOT THE NOT THE BLOCK WALLS, BUT THE RANGE THEY SAID THEY'VE BUILT IN A VARIETY OR TONS OF DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS RURAL, URBAN, NEAR NEIGHBORHOODS, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THEY SAID, DEPENDING ON, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING, THEY CAN BUILD THAT INTO THE DESIGN. AS FAR AS THE AMOUNT OF NOISE THAT ACTUALLY LEAVES THE RANGE ITSELF. YEAH, I'M JUST THINKING THE PROXIMITY TO THE BALL FIELDS UP THERE AND KIDS PICKLEBALL COULD BE A LITTLE. I HAD SOME EXPERIENCE UP IN MICHIGAN WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT UP THERE IN TROY, AND THEY HAD AN INDOOR RANGE. IT WAS AMAZING HOW THEY SOUNDPROOFED IT. YEAH, AND IT WAS SURROUNDED BY SOME COMMERCIAL AREAS, BUT YOU NEVER WOULD KNOW WHEN YOU WERE IN THERE WHEN THEY WERE IN THERE FIRING. CAN THOSE ENGINEERS ENGINEER THE PICKLEBALL COURTS THAT MAKE THEM NOT AS NOISY? YEAH, PROBABLY. SO YOU'RE SAYING YOU WANT A

[02:10:01]

GOOD JOB. SORRY. WHO WAS THE SECOND? I WAS OKAY? OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER. DETRICK. YES.

[19. OTHER BUSINESS]

WHAT ABOUT. I MEAN, I STILL HAVE A CALL TO THE OHIO ETHICS COMMISSION TO MAKE SURE WE'RE PERMITTED TO DO THIS, BUT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HAVING A NEW ALBANY PELOTON TEAM. THAT'S THE CITY AND RESIDENTS. MAYBE WE TALK ABOUT A PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT NEXT YEAR TO RAISE MONEY FOR OUR OWN PELOTON. YEAH, YEAH, I LIKE IT MORE. I THINK THAT'S IF IT'S A NEW ALBANY BASED PELOTON THAT HAS MULTIPLE NEW ALBANY TIES, BUT AN INDIVIDUAL. I DON'T THINK WE WANT TO OPEN THAT DOOR. I THINK I AGREE WITH YOU, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF FOLKS THAT RIDE PELOTON THAT LIVE IN ALBANY, THAT. YEAH, NO, I THINK IT'D BE GREAT. IT'S A GREAT IDEA THAT THAT GUY DID. BUT I, YOU KNOW.

YEAH. AND THEN GREAT. AND THEN JUST TWO OTHER UPDATES, THE COURTS, WE WERE JUST OUT THERE YESTERDAY. I KNOW I GET QUESTIONS ALL THE TIME. WE HAVE EIGHT SHUT DOWN. WE HAVE EIGHT ARE OPEN. I THINK WE'RE GETTING TO THE POINT NOW WHERE WE'LL OPEN THEM ALL UP TO LOOK GOOD.

EIGHT WON'T UNTIL THEY GET REDONE, BUT WITH THE TOURNAMENT COMING UP NEXT WEEKEND, WE'LL HAVE ALL 16 COURTS UP BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. RIGHT? OKAY. AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE'LL SHUT IT DOWN AND WE'LL GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN. BUT I WILL SAY IT'S A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE THAT. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN OUT THERE AND WANT TO PLAY, AND IT'S BEEN REALLY BUSY WITH ONLY EIGHT COURTS, WHICH IS INTERESTING BECAUSE IT'S EIGHT MORE THAN WE USED TO WE EVER HAD ANYWAYS, ARE THE COMPLAINTS. SO WE HAVE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO REDUCE THE NOISE LEVEL OUT THERE. WELL, WE ONLY HAVE EIGHT COURTS. THAT'S REDUCED ITSELF. BUT IT'S I HAVEN'T HEARD ANY SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANY ARE COMING IN. JOINT PARKS HASN'T HAD ANY COME INTO THEM EITHER. SO THE GENTLEMAN THAT CAME, HAVE WE DONE ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THAT BACK FROM HIM AFTER THE LAST TIME HE WAS HERE? YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE GUN RANGE. THAT'S KIND OF WHY I ASKED THAT QUESTION. YEAH. HE'S JUST SITTING ON HIS PATIO WITH NOISE CANCELING HEADPHONES. WELL, BUT NO, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. OKAY. AND THAT WAS IT. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION? WE'RE OBVIOUSLY WE HAD AN EMAIL THAT WAS CIRCULATED ON THE DRAFT RFP FOR THE CONSULTANT TO HIRE THE CITY MANAGER, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CREATE A SUBCOMMITTEE. IT CAN ONLY BE THREE MEMBERS. SO WE'LL THUMB WRESTLE FOR THAT AT AN UPCOMING MEETING. OKAY. TO BE ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE TO SELECT THE NEXT CITY MANAGER. NICE. SO LIMBER UP. OKAY, GREAT. NOW I KNOW. ALL RIGHT. THERE'S NO OTHER BUSINESS. I MOVE THAT WE ADJOURN, AND I'M RETIRED. SO I

[02:20:03]
