1
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:36,160
I would like to call this regular session of sure and city council, or please join me and I'd like to congratulate you this year's flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, why nation, why are you out, and to give us this whole with liberty and justice for all.

2
00:00:41,910 --> 00:00:44,110
Thank you, Amy, please call, roll.

3
00:00:44,650 --> 00:00:48,190
Mr. Blackwood. Mr. Chuma. Mr. Grawe.

4
00:00:50,410 --> 00:00:52,290
Ms. Meen. Mr. Malaskier.

5
00:00:56,860 --> 00:01:03,700
move on to agenda item number four approval of minutes, are there any additions or corrections

6
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:12,740
to the July 9th, 2026 public hearing or the July 9th, 2026 regular session in minutes?

7
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,740
Does our motion to approve the minutes as presented?

8
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,260
Second.

9
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:27,200
Move in a second if we're going to discuss.

10
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:29,180
Call the question.

11
00:01:30,060 --> 00:01:30,680
Mr. Blackley?

12
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:35,660
Mr. Johan? Yes. Mr. Gra. Yes. Mr. Martin? Yes.

13
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,840
Mr. Maleski? Yes. Mr. Maleski? Yes. Mr.

14
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:38,220
Mr. Dean.

15
00:01:40,260 --> 00:01:43,560
Thank you for your next.

16
00:01:44,380 --> 00:01:44,640
All right.

17
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,760
Move on to the manager's report. Good evening, Ben.

18
00:01:48,260 --> 00:01:49,000
Good evening, Council.

19
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,920
Sorry to my items from City Hall.

20
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,720
Request for proposals. As you know, we had no responses for the City Architect.

21
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,280
RFP. However, we did.

22
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,300
May contact with a firm after the deadline level heads ink.

23
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:09,720
Their candidate for city architect, Mr. Christopher Toronto, has met with myself.

24
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:16,320
Administrator Holliday and member Blackley in his capacity as chairman of the Planning Commission.

25
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:24,460
And the three of us all liked him, and we've chosen to move forward, so we're in final contract negotiations with Mr. Toronto.

26
00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:32,040
Jogathieter is open until August 28th, 2026 as of August 1st.

27
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:39,400
We had had 13 potential respondents to her the facility, and then our annual crack ceiling

28
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:45,480
program went out for RFP to specifically qualified firms who had already responded to our

29
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,800
pre-qualls on August 4th, 2026, and we are just awaiting responses.

30
00:02:51,020 --> 00:02:53,380
Unless we've gotten them all already dug or...

31
00:02:53,380 --> 00:02:57,100
No, they're due to just on the 24th, 24th.

32
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,740
Staffing one of our accounting clerks has accepted the visit of director finance position

33
00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:07,800
and will be leaving the city after August 14th, 2026.

34
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:14,580
We wish for the best on her future and the position has been posted and is up if you know anybody.

35
00:03:16,730 --> 00:03:21,990
Cities 2025 annual audit conducted by Charles Harris has been completed with no findings for recovery

36
00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:27,890
material weaknesses or other deficiencies. You'll note in the management letter that there

37
00:03:27,890 --> 00:03:33,190
was an issue with filing some paperwork on the state of Ohio's new web portal. We feel this

38
00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:37,970
was just an issue with first year of a new web portal and we don't expect this to happen again

39
00:03:37,970 --> 00:03:38,730
next year.

40
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,480
For capital projects, the foundations for the North and Fifth Traffic Signal are

41
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,960
complete and the project is now just waiting for the polls and mass storms to be manufactured

42
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,500
and shipped those are not expected until September or October.

43
00:03:53,780 --> 00:03:56,580
2026 sidewalk and street programs for streets,

44
00:03:56,820 --> 00:04:00,380
works should begin in the latter half of this month and for sidewalks

45
00:04:00,380 --> 00:04:01,760
works should begin in early September.

46
00:04:03,860 --> 00:04:08,080
For our pocket park, new plans are on your agenda for Council's review of this evening.

47
00:04:09,060 --> 00:04:14,380
On July 31st, 2026, we did receive our grant documents from ODNR.

48
00:04:15,340 --> 00:04:21,580
Director Rogers will be at Planning Commission this month for their approval, so assuming both bodies sign off.

49
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:28,040
We should be on track to file our paperwork with the state and complete bidding before the end of the year.

50
00:04:30,780 --> 00:04:36,540
The Wilson Mills and Park intersection realignment, our internal kickoff meeting was on July 16th, 2026,

51
00:04:37,260 --> 00:04:39,400
and it will now move into the design phase.

52
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:45,320
Actual construction on that project isn't until 2028 in accordance with the grant schedule.

53
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,900
For a state route resurfacing, restriping is still ongoing.

54
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,360
For a North Street repaving, a credit to Doug and CWC,

55
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,840
they got the plans submitted and approved ahead of ODOT schedule.

56
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,860
So we are now just waiting on ODOT to bid out the project.

57
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:11,540
And then finally, for our citywide traffic signal project, you have legislation on your agenda tonight for our participation with ODOT.

58
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:20,880
From the departments, I'm going to start with municipal court, beginning September 8th, 2026.

59
00:05:21,820 --> 00:05:29,940
The judge has ordered that the open hours to the public, for a short- and municipal court, will be changed to 8am to 4pm.

60
00:05:29,940 --> 00:05:37,220
This is to provide more administrative time for staff and reduce instances of over time at the end of the day from getting held up

61
00:05:38,020 --> 00:05:44,460
In July the municipal court also adjusted their fees to be more in line with peer courts around us

62
00:05:46,740 --> 00:05:51,220
For streets a credit to our street department and just in screws

63
00:05:51,220 --> 00:05:57,180
They made two full trips around the city after the July storm and picked up 39 loads of brush

64
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:58,520
approximately

65
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,680
468 square yards

66
00:06:01,380 --> 00:06:09,200
and took 280 manhours. Our previous record for loads of brush in one pick-up series was 24.

67
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:12,700
So we blew out of the water, our previous record.

68
00:06:14,940 --> 00:06:17,180
And then I'm going to turn it over to Chief briefly.

69
00:06:18,060 --> 00:06:26,700
His department has received another grant, which will need a motion to accept that grant for the police department.

70
00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:36,460
So we are the recipient of a small grant award for drug education.

71
00:06:37,060 --> 00:06:38,920
It's a grant that we get usually every year.

72
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,440
And money goes back towards use for the DARE program.

73
00:06:43,860 --> 00:06:46,620
So we use it to buy the workbooks and so forth.

74
00:06:47,060 --> 00:06:52,600
So it's about $1,500 or about it's maybe a little bit more than that.

75
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:54,720
So you need a motion?

76
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,020
We need our love voice.

77
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:56,880
I'll make that motion.

78
00:06:57,100 --> 00:06:57,340
That's up to it.

79
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,700
Very good.

80
00:06:58,820 --> 00:07:00,500
Move to the second hit for the discussion.

81
00:07:01,660 --> 00:07:02,280
Chief, great job.

82
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,280
Congratulations.

83
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:05,140
It's called a question.

84
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:07,240
Mrs. Tuhah.

85
00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:08,700
Mr. Grott.

86
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:09,420
Yes.

87
00:07:09,420 --> 00:07:09,980
Mr. Martin.

88
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:10,520
Yes.

89
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,300
Ms. Means.

90
00:07:11,340 --> 00:07:11,660
Yes.

91
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:12,500
Mr. Maleski.

92
00:07:12,540 --> 00:07:12,920
Yes.

93
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:13,640
Mr. Yany.

94
00:07:14,380 --> 00:07:14,780
Mr. Mark.

95
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:15,500
Yes.

96
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:20,460
And then on to community events, which

97
00:07:20,460 --> 00:07:23,640
are starting to come out of the summer busy season.

98
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:29,320
It's our concerts on the square, traditionally end August 28th, director Rogers.

99
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:39,520
If you remember, we had to cancel one due to the wild virus smoke. He has rescheduled that for the next Friday. So, the new end day is September 4th with that rescheduled.

100
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:51,200
The Perry nuclear power plant graded drill is in September, specifically for the city of Shardin, September 22nd, 2026.

101
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,800
I have been working with Chief Geist.

102
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,340
We will have some posts about this as it gets closer,

103
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,900
but the big thing for us in our residences.

104
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:03,600
If you see a hazmat crew at the high school on the 22nd,

105
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:04,900
it is just the drill.

106
00:08:05,580 --> 00:08:06,820
It is not an incident.

107
00:08:08,940 --> 00:08:10,320
And then the Shard and Fire Department

108
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,160
is having a Gulf outing fundraiser on September 23rd, 26th.

109
00:08:15,220 --> 00:08:17,200
Chief did not have many details for me at the time.

110
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,980
I wrote this, so please visit their website tomorrow for me.

111
00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:20,620
And

112
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,220
that's my report from the season.

113
00:08:29,730 --> 00:08:42,920
And could you give us a fairly quick idea of when the you mentioned that the feeder closes

114
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,780
on August 28th, and then what's going to happen after that?

115
00:08:48,660 --> 00:08:57,900
So as the RFP is currently written staff, so myself, Mark and Justin will grade them down

116
00:08:57,900 --> 00:09:03,320
to three, assuming we get a sufficient number to worth grading down.

117
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:10,320
City Council, then, interview the finalists and ultimately choose the chosen proposal.

118
00:09:11,420 --> 00:09:17,940
Currently, I have, in my mind, scheduling those interviews for executive session after

119
00:09:17,940 --> 00:09:22,820
the regular September meeting, if Council wishes to do that in a special

120
00:09:22,820 --> 00:09:29,120
some other time, more than happy to accommodate council's work.

121
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:33,280
I don't know yet.

122
00:09:33,830 --> 00:09:35,750
Those interviews could be.

123
00:09:36,290 --> 00:09:39,410
It could be a half hour each or a little now.

124
00:09:41,250 --> 00:09:44,090
We'll come up with a plan on that.

125
00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:50,870
The thank you to the crews for cleaning up after the storm.

126
00:09:51,190 --> 00:09:53,830
We had another storm within the last few days.

127
00:09:54,790 --> 00:10:04,450
What does the city gain communication wise from the companies that are coming out to fix

128
00:10:04,450 --> 00:10:05,650
downlines in that?

129
00:10:05,870 --> 00:10:08,870
Do we update it on the process?

130
00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:14,350
Not as much as I'm sure Justin and I would like to be.

131
00:10:15,530 --> 00:10:22,610
I mean we were quite literally told by the first energy rep to check the outage map like

132
00:10:22,610 --> 00:10:29,010
videos and that you know we could call her but she won't have any more information to give

133
00:10:29,010 --> 00:10:31,570
us than what the outage map will give us.

134
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,360
This is our city representative who comes to these meetings every so often.

135
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,780
That's what you're saying is she said she couldn't give you anything more than what you

136
00:10:41,780 --> 00:10:49,240
could find on the website because of the extensive damage and outages from the storm or

137
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,740
because she just doesn't have any other information to offer.

138
00:10:52,740 --> 00:10:58,160
She doesn't have access to any greater detail though.

139
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,880
She can't see the dispatch console and where the trucks are.

140
00:11:02,340 --> 00:11:06,520
My guess is that's the main thing tool they used to manage all that,

141
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:09,320
so it's probably as dynamic as it's going to get.

142
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,940
Well, I will say this past Monday we have a power outage.

143
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,500
They had a crew working on the square very quickly,

144
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,160
and that was taken care of very quickly.

145
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,320
So it was very happy to see that power was restored

146
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,200
within maybe two hours on my side of town.

147
00:11:28,660 --> 00:11:30,940
So it was actually give kudos to them

148
00:11:30,940 --> 00:11:34,760
for being on the job quickly and working efficiently

149
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,240
to get that done.

150
00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:39,020
They usually get, obviously, first energy's got a lot

151
00:11:39,020 --> 00:11:41,300
of criticism in other communities on the count

152
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:43,920
of their response time and that may be justified.

153
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,880
The East side of Cleveland has a different,

154
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,240
entirely different crew and different management people

155
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,920
working out of Auburn, or Auburn Rhodes, that's still a case, Doug.

156
00:11:55,380 --> 00:11:56,320
I think it's still a case.

157
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,900
Yeah, so they anyhow, they seem to be pretty responsive.

158
00:12:02,660 --> 00:12:05,680
But it is unfortunate that their own representative

159
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:07,340
doesn't have more up to the date.

160
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,040
I actually walked up to the top of the square and talked to the guys.

161
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,900
And they said, yeah, we'll be done in about an hour.

162
00:12:13,180 --> 00:12:13,780
Great, thank you.

163
00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:19,590
Our big issue, at least lately, seems to be CPE,

164
00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:25,710
because they only have the one main line in and out, and so when they lose power,

165
00:12:26,050 --> 00:12:31,930
transform goes down there, they tend to be out longer. After the base

166
00:12:31,930 --> 00:12:35,050
storm, they were out for 48 hours.

167
00:12:36,230 --> 00:12:37,270
I'm going to

168
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,260
put it.

169
00:12:41,420 --> 00:12:46,340
I request her to come in here at some point in the next, before the end of the year,

170
00:12:46,340 --> 00:12:51,280
just so we can have an open line of communication. Ask questions.

171
00:12:52,440 --> 00:13:02,580
Just have a similar issue with I'm not sure if it's a spectrum or one stream but all the sudden

172
00:13:02,580 --> 00:13:09,340
different yard there's a lot of wire that's just hanging there and it's beating on the

173
00:13:09,340 --> 00:13:18,360
He rose Banner as well, right? So it's probably 120 foot long and it's all

174
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:24,100
loted up and I guess there's probably no one that's high priority for them to

175
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:31,480
come out and deal with it. But it's also at risk of knocking out that Banner if

176
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,580
it swings back and forth or could get out in the street. So I don't know how we

177
00:13:36,140 --> 00:13:42,160
We'll deal with that. I'll reach out to the representative. Thank you. There's other spots. I noticed around the city. They have

178
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:52,380
bunch of wires or something. Okay. One by St. Mary's church. I noticed there was one there too. And it kind of appeasable almost a little bit into the road, but still on the right away.

179
00:13:53,200 --> 00:14:03,420
You know, this is not the first time this has been brought to this council. I think we can all agree on that. Yes, Heather. You did bring it up in the past. Many, many times. This has been brought up.

180
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,140
So first I'm hearing about it.

181
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,960
It's not the first, these are not the only places.

182
00:14:09,980 --> 00:14:12,460
If you walk around the city, you'll see there's others, but I think there's even one

183
00:14:12,460 --> 00:14:16,680
over by the cemetery and there's their lobe, so sometimes they're whapping, sometimes

184
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:18,640
they're just somebody on a bike could get, you know.

185
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:24,420
So, but I don't believe they're all the same utility, they're all the same thing, it's

186
00:14:24,420 --> 00:14:25,960
not all the same lines, it's the same thing.

187
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:31,540
I mean, these are all the voltage that I'm seeing dangling, I mean, they may be, frankly,

188
00:14:31,540 --> 00:14:37,600
the cable companies that are extremely sloppy, maintaining their infrastructure, compared

189
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,720
to the first energy, first energy will kill people and they're I think they're pretty good

190
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,360
about it. I don't think we're not. I'm sure that doesn't happen. We're talking about, I've been told

191
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,240
that I'm not allowed to go and just cut them because I could with a stuffed ladder and something.

192
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,820
I did that at my house at a dead cable line that was hanging down.

193
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:59,320
It's not the water cutters and kind of rust like that's what you're looking at.

194
00:15:00,460 --> 00:15:04,820
It was a day yet. I cut the, I literally cut the cable.

195
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:12,980
I will say that the representative for spectrum and Wednesday have been responsive to me.

196
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:18,000
Especially getting back to emails. So if there are locations, let me know.

197
00:15:18,540 --> 00:15:20,060
And I can see what I can do about them.

198
00:15:20,060 --> 00:15:24,440
I'm sorry. On the panel, we're lining up for a break.

199
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,120
I don't remember.

200
00:15:27,860 --> 00:15:28,900
I think it wasn't a doubt.

201
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:29,840
It was one.

202
00:15:32,090 --> 00:15:32,930
The last comment.

203
00:15:33,330 --> 00:15:35,310
You've been done with the wires.

204
00:15:35,930 --> 00:15:37,030
Why are you asking?

205
00:15:37,450 --> 00:15:37,950
Why are you asking?

206
00:15:37,950 --> 00:15:38,210
Why are you asking?

207
00:15:39,970 --> 00:15:40,310
I don't care.

208
00:15:41,630 --> 00:15:42,770
Well, let's have a shout on everybody.

209
00:15:43,190 --> 00:15:47,010
Did you achieve my question on September 22nd to drill at the high school?

210
00:15:48,010 --> 00:15:48,110
Yes.

211
00:15:48,810 --> 00:15:49,390
That's a Tuesday.

212
00:15:50,970 --> 00:15:52,950
So has this...

213
00:15:52,950 --> 00:15:58,490
I, you know, there's just still the memory of what took place a long time ago, we need

214
00:15:58,490 --> 00:16:02,530
to communicate that, of course, we're talking about it tonight that it's a drill.

215
00:16:03,170 --> 00:16:09,270
But there's a school sent out information to all of their families that there's going

216
00:16:09,270 --> 00:16:12,390
to be a big, I don't know what size a drill we're talking about.

217
00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:16,750
So, the answer to your question, I'm not aware that they have.

218
00:16:17,070 --> 00:16:20,990
I think most of them, because they've been off, the school's been out out.

219
00:16:20,990 --> 00:16:26,590
And that drill is generally run by EMA, but I can certainly make sure, I'll make some

220
00:16:26,590 --> 00:16:29,430
phone calls tomorrow, I'll make sure that they get in communication out.

221
00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:31,590
I think you can go on the signboard.

222
00:16:31,790 --> 00:16:35,870
They can go on the signboard because they could have, once again, don't know the logistics

223
00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:37,190
of what they're trying to do there.

224
00:16:37,790 --> 00:16:40,230
If it's one truck, 15 trucks, who knows, right?

225
00:16:40,610 --> 00:16:44,410
We don't know yet, but people will be driving by or they'll notice it.

226
00:16:44,410 --> 00:16:48,610
And if they haven't been paying attention, but if we get it on our signboard, it's going

227
00:16:48,610 --> 00:16:49,690
to be a drill going on.

228
00:16:49,710 --> 00:16:50,370
That would be great.

229
00:16:50,370 --> 00:16:54,530
Going by a how many questions we've gotten about the right-aid demolition.

230
00:16:54,770 --> 00:16:55,410
Oh my gosh.

231
00:16:55,410 --> 00:16:57,470
Yeah, it's more communication than better.

232
00:16:58,870 --> 00:17:00,310
Okay, I don't know if this is right.

233
00:17:00,590 --> 00:17:02,690
If you're done, I want to ask Chief something.

234
00:17:03,110 --> 00:17:06,970
It was brought up during our last meeting, during public, during comments.

235
00:17:07,950 --> 00:17:10,830
Someone who was speaking, brought it up about e-bikes.

236
00:17:11,390 --> 00:17:13,550
And I just had an e-viracum to me.

237
00:17:13,930 --> 00:17:16,270
We were talking about e-bikes, and or not e-bikes,

238
00:17:16,270 --> 00:17:18,470
or scooters, electric scooters, and how.

239
00:17:18,930 --> 00:17:25,730
There's on our where we're at a couple of kids who are awesome going quite fast, no helmets, nothing.

240
00:17:25,970 --> 00:17:27,750
I mean, they're going as fast as cars, right?

241
00:17:28,750 --> 00:17:33,850
And we were having the conversation about what kind of rules and that was brought up during open before.

242
00:17:33,890 --> 00:17:38,890
And I'm just wondering, can you speak to that all like, what are the laws or rules aren't there?

243
00:17:39,010 --> 00:17:41,670
Is there something that we can do as a community or...

244
00:17:41,670 --> 00:17:47,670
So I could speak to it briefly in a certain way.

245
00:17:48,130 --> 00:17:51,850
And we've had quite a few conversations about e-bikes.

246
00:17:52,210 --> 00:17:55,750
The challenge is that there's different types of e-bikes.

247
00:17:55,870 --> 00:17:58,190
There's different regulations for each one.

248
00:17:58,810 --> 00:18:03,410
The state code is definitely confusing when you get into that chapter.

249
00:18:05,370 --> 00:18:10,270
My belief is that they're currently working to streamline that to make it more user-friendly,

250
00:18:10,270 --> 00:18:12,730
but just like everything else, technology wise,

251
00:18:13,290 --> 00:18:15,430
the law is often behind the technology

252
00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:17,250
that's available to the folks.

253
00:18:18,430 --> 00:18:20,830
The other challenge that we have is that,

254
00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:23,650
I think in some cases those vehicles

255
00:18:23,650 --> 00:18:25,610
are being purchased from young people,

256
00:18:25,870 --> 00:18:27,710
the parents probably are not even aware

257
00:18:27,710 --> 00:18:29,670
of what they're capable of in terms of speed

258
00:18:29,670 --> 00:18:31,610
and what the kids are actually doing with them.

259
00:18:32,970 --> 00:18:34,970
Some communities have gone

260
00:18:34,970 --> 00:18:37,970
and passed additional city ordinances

261
00:18:37,970 --> 00:18:39,830
to make them stricter in their communities.

262
00:18:39,830 --> 00:18:46,890
such as requiring the wearing of helmets and restricting to certain areas.

263
00:18:48,350 --> 00:18:53,530
But it's kind of up in the air in a lot of areas that haven't done that.

264
00:18:54,070 --> 00:19:02,050
So that's a kind of reception that Ben and I've had about how we can make it tighter for us as well.

265
00:19:02,050 --> 00:19:07,170
So, in my streets, it's kids who are middle school just going into the high school, so like,

266
00:19:07,430 --> 00:19:13,990
you know, young, they're not bikes, they're scooters, actually, and no helmets consistently, and just be down the road.

267
00:19:14,370 --> 00:19:22,570
So, I guess I would be interested in what we might be able to do to we don't want something bad to have to happen before then we would take action in that case.

268
00:19:22,570 --> 00:19:28,850
And I think that, you know, think about is that we look at a kid on a child on a two-wheel

269
00:19:28,850 --> 00:19:37,230
bicycle. They're very, they're the capability of going just as fast down hill. The difference

270
00:19:37,230 --> 00:19:40,790
between that and some of these e-bikes is they'll go that fast up there.

271
00:19:43,210 --> 00:19:44,910
So, we're definitely

272
00:19:44,910 --> 00:19:50,010
wrestling with it as well, figure out what the right solution is for that. Ben, did I miss anything

273
00:19:50,550 --> 00:19:52,210
No, we talk about it.

274
00:19:52,390 --> 00:19:52,490
Right.

275
00:19:52,590 --> 00:19:53,270
Sure, do.

276
00:19:54,210 --> 00:19:58,230
Can we move past talking and try to, like, if there is anything we can do, can we, like,

277
00:19:58,510 --> 00:20:03,470
We've got two different, I guess, I would call them, other municipal models that we've,

278
00:20:03,990 --> 00:20:05,130
Pick and choose what we like.

279
00:20:05,290 --> 00:20:06,950
I think it'd be within the realm of possibility.

280
00:20:07,090 --> 00:20:08,770
We get some legislation to you.

281
00:20:08,890 --> 00:20:10,050
If not for the next council meeting.

282
00:20:10,250 --> 00:20:11,210
I think after that.

283
00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:13,190
I mean, I don't know how everybody else feels about it.

284
00:20:13,250 --> 00:20:14,190
It's just.

285
00:20:14,550 --> 00:20:16,130
My concern is, and I've seen,

286
00:20:16,130 --> 00:20:21,710
And specifically, there's one or two that go up and down water street.

287
00:20:22,730 --> 00:20:23,530
They're going into speed.

288
00:20:23,710 --> 00:20:27,070
If someone's coming out of their driveway, they're probably not going to be looking for someone

289
00:20:27,070 --> 00:20:28,110
doing that.

290
00:20:28,150 --> 00:20:31,290
And my concern is someone's going to get severely hurt or worse.

291
00:20:31,550 --> 00:20:31,930
All right.

292
00:20:32,110 --> 00:20:33,710
Well, that has happened in other communities.

293
00:20:33,970 --> 00:20:37,890
We've had it happen here, but that's equally possible on a bicycle, so.

294
00:20:38,410 --> 00:20:43,850
Well, I think the key though is, I mean, technically bicycles probably aren't supposed to

295
00:20:43,850 --> 00:20:50,350
on sidewalks but then the ones I'm seeing don't have pedals so I don't think they'd be classified

296
00:20:50,350 --> 00:20:57,350
as a bicycle or a e-bicycle because I think a bicycle typically has something that you

297
00:20:57,350 --> 00:21:03,150
assist in the precaution so I think we need to probably look at what those classifications

298
00:21:03,150 --> 00:21:09,910
are and take it to that out. Thank you do that. I think the two that go up and down on my hill are

299
00:21:09,910 --> 00:21:13,630
Yeah, they go up the fast up the hill if they do down.

300
00:21:13,630 --> 00:21:16,430
I'm so worried because our street is so steep.

301
00:21:17,090 --> 00:21:18,810
But they'll ride two armoured scooters.

302
00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:22,430
And I just, oh, I don't want to see it.

303
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,220
Oh, just the same kid just sit around the whole neighborhood.

304
00:21:27,220 --> 00:21:30,160
Yeah, and I just want to see it.

305
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:32,740
Would you like us to present something to council?

306
00:21:32,940 --> 00:21:36,140
Or would you like us to maybe either send it to safety or legislate at first?

307
00:21:36,380 --> 00:21:37,980
I'd send it to safety.

308
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,580
I see what we're thinking, but there's also going to be an enforcement issue.

309
00:21:46,260 --> 00:21:52,280
And that's also certainly a consideration because the majority of what I've just heard

310
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,140
here is that these are young people that are doing it so they're doing else.

311
00:21:55,300 --> 00:22:01,160
These are all, I'm talking all kids and they're not, they're younger kids, you know, so.

312
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:08,000
But I think in summary, guard, if there's some regulation out there, at least someone

313
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,280
have a guideline of if they're buying something for their child, where they could actually

314
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,220
operate it, if we're saying you can't operate it on the sidewalk.

315
00:22:16,780 --> 00:22:22,700
And they watch YouTube videos, they learn how to get around the governor mechanisms on them,

316
00:22:22,740 --> 00:22:26,660
so they can get more speed out of them. Kids are pretty tech savvy,

317
00:22:28,980 --> 00:22:29,980
and you know,

318
00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:34,540
I think you're outweighs to get away with it, but I don't really can, it's quite a big concern.

319
00:22:37,490 --> 00:22:41,250
Okay, put the ready other comments for Ben and his report.

320
00:22:42,470 --> 00:22:46,270
Then I've had questions about, you said the restraping has begun.

321
00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:49,790
As I'm going, do we have kind of an end date for that?

322
00:22:52,860 --> 00:23:04,580
Thank you for the question. So, first, I will say that, you know, chief, both chiefs came to me expressing concern over wrong way

323
00:23:04,580 --> 00:23:10,820
drivers crossing over and it's oncoming traffic so they weren't actually supposed to be here

324
00:23:10,820 --> 00:23:16,380
until the end of August. I called him up and I said hey we got a situation that we need

325
00:23:16,380 --> 00:23:21,660
to address especially in the square so they came out did us a favor and came out and did

326
00:23:21,660 --> 00:23:27,040
the square for us before they were slated to be here. So they're technically still on schedule.

327
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:33,800
The rain has hampered their abilities to get it done as well so it is on their radar I talked

328
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:39,360
them Tuesday and they were equally as frustrated because they can't strip, they can't get

329
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:46,040
other jobs done. So the perception is, you know, they're not getting it done, but the actual

330
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:51,820
situation is that I asked them to come in and help prevent a situation that was getting

331
00:23:51,820 --> 00:23:52,720
a little dicey.

332
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:53,600
So thank you.

333
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:58,880
Because I was asked, you know, what's going on? And I also was headlights coming right

334
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,100
at me when they shouldn't have been. Right. Right.

335
00:24:01,100 --> 00:24:02,880
I think it looks great.

336
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:08,420
I do appreciate you getting ahead of that and also if they're on schedule then that's all I need to be.

337
00:24:08,740 --> 00:24:09,340
It's all I need to know.

338
00:24:10,020 --> 00:24:12,780
And we've made some adjustments to increase safety.

339
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:19,160
So hopefully the potential situation has been alleviated.

340
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:20,800
Thank

341
00:24:23,010 --> 00:24:23,590
you.

342
00:24:23,770 --> 00:24:23,830
All right.

343
00:24:24,110 --> 00:24:24,770
Thank you, Ben.

344
00:24:25,370 --> 00:24:26,830
We'll move on to a planning commission report.

345
00:24:27,010 --> 00:24:27,510
Good evening, Andy.

346
00:24:28,110 --> 00:24:28,350
Thank you.

347
00:24:31,530 --> 00:24:34,590
We had just one item on the agenda.

348
00:24:36,270 --> 00:24:41,470
We had Marcy Marcelo King and Phil King here representing the applicant.

349
00:24:42,330 --> 00:24:49,750
This was for the square of Barbershop is expanding into the second floor at 135 Main Street,

350
00:24:50,390 --> 00:24:54,290
which would trigger the need for additional off-street parking.

351
00:24:55,090 --> 00:25:00,470
And so the variance, they were requesting a variance to not have to build additional

352
00:25:00,470 --> 00:25:06,910
Austrian parking, which, as you view, we're all familiar with the parking situation

353
00:25:06,910 --> 00:25:13,170
on the square, which on the face of it would be a ridiculous requirement and planning commission

354
00:25:13,170 --> 00:25:14,090
granted the variance.

355
00:25:14,390 --> 00:25:18,850
And part of it was based on the analysis that the city manager had already done about

356
00:25:18,850 --> 00:25:26,110
availability of parking, so that variance was duly granted, and any Jonathan anymore

357
00:25:26,110 --> 00:25:34,370
progress on the expansion of the barbershop. Nothing to report, but I appreciate the

358
00:25:34,370 --> 00:25:35,590
planning commission's consideration,

359
00:25:37,830 --> 00:25:39,730
and I know the applicants are happy to see that

360
00:25:39,730 --> 00:25:45,030
the variance was granted. There's literally no place for somebody to build additional parking

361
00:25:45,030 --> 00:25:48,730
on the square unless they're going to put a parking deck in some place.

362
00:25:48,730 --> 00:25:51,170
So that was just was not going to happen.

363
00:25:51,410 --> 00:25:54,250
And the parking, according to the parking analysis,

364
00:25:55,130 --> 00:25:56,150
there is available parking.

365
00:25:56,370 --> 00:25:59,270
And I think we've heard good things about the managers,

366
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,560
his report and what he's done as far as revising

367
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:06,020
parking.

368
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,480
Ben, you want to have any additional input on that?

369
00:26:10,340 --> 00:26:12,520
Any other feedback from users?

370
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,540
From the most vocal business owners, they all

371
00:26:17,540 --> 00:26:21,360
seem to like the new four hour to our split.

372
00:26:22,140 --> 00:26:27,420
And from what the county courts have told me the 19 spots

373
00:26:27,420 --> 00:26:30,160
for lawyers to park while they're in hearing.

374
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,760
So I've been working well.

375
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,660
Right now the county is they have an assemblage permit to use those

376
00:26:36,660 --> 00:26:40,400
spots while they're doing brick restoration on the backside of the

377
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,440
upper house.

378
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,540
So you might have seen there's a bunch of temporary signs with the

379
00:26:44,540 --> 00:26:49,480
number on them, but that's supposed to be done by the end of the summer and all those signs

380
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:50,460
will be gone again.

381
00:26:53,700 --> 00:26:55,520
That concludes the Planning Commissioner report.

382
00:26:55,860 --> 00:26:56,520
I guess there's any questions.

383
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,220
Thank you, Andy.

384
00:26:59,460 --> 00:27:02,800
We're going to Council Committee reports, we'll start with the Finance Committee.

385
00:27:03,660 --> 00:27:04,280
Dan and Steve.

386
00:27:05,780 --> 00:27:09,840
Yes, the Finance Committee met Wednesday August 5th.

387
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:21,140
We had one item on the agenda, and it was to discuss city fund consolidation, which is aligned with legislation A tonight.

388
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:34,840
So originally, Ben had brought this to a prior finance meeting, and the ask was to, in essence, assess the funds that are out there.

389
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:41,080
look at multiple funds for the same type of thing, look at things that are set up

390
00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:50,540
for like one-off things in the past and so they went through a process to understand which funds

391
00:27:50,540 --> 00:27:57,880
were there to make recommendations of ones that could be eliminated because they're no longer needed.

392
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:07,280
Look at ones that could be combined together and have a simpler option going forward.

393
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:16,300
And after reviewing it and asking a few questions, the committee made the recommendation to move forward with the consolidation.

394
00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:28,160
And we also, is that enough on the funds, Steve and Ben, that they get enough and they're

395
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,020
I mean, we can talk further and more detail when we get the legislation as well.

396
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:32,860
If there's questions.

397
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,240
Yeah, I think what they brought forward makes a lot of sense, and it's true.

398
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,560
It's not streaming in the process.

399
00:28:41,500 --> 00:28:48,200
Then, under any other business, we had some discussion to talk about the expenditure review process,

400
00:28:49,540 --> 00:28:55,780
which I'll cover some of the highlights of the actual expenditure review and the efficiencies

401
00:28:55,780 --> 00:28:58,360
we're gaining there when we get to that section.

402
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:07,980
We had a brief discussion about SRO and SSO, which was something that had been brought to us

403
00:29:07,980 --> 00:29:14,260
just to get some thoughts on it and we shared some thoughts on that, and then we talked briefly

404
00:29:14,260 --> 00:29:20,780
about the budget process and timing of that because we're getting quite near to budget season.

405
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:27,380
So, yeah, that's pretty much the extent of my record.

406
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,780
I don't know if you have anything that add or you want to add anything, Ben.

407
00:29:33,540 --> 00:29:34,820
Oh, wait till the legislation.

408
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:35,960
Okay.

409
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:37,420
Have a great day.

410
00:29:37,940 --> 00:29:38,320
That's over there.

411
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:38,600
Welcome.

412
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,020
That concludes my report.

413
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:40,880
Okay.

414
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:41,680
Thank you, Dan.

415
00:29:41,820 --> 00:29:42,760
I'm going to move on to E.K.

416
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,880
Economic Development Committee, and that's their end-day.

417
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:47,720
Yes, thank you.

418
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,400
We met earlier right before this meeting at 530.

419
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:59,980
We had a Jimmy Precip from Retail Strategies presented to us to give us an update on anything new that they could...

420
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:12,320
Share with us. He said that they have 11 right now 11 prospects, people who are interested. There was not really any things specific that was shared with us.

421
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:29,680
We did have a conversation about the fact that they, one of the services that they offer us, the city and also they offer businesses is being able to provide data about how many people are traffic data, population data and things that can be used for business marketing.

422
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:37,060
or people who are considering coming here and that we needed to do more work to make sure

423
00:30:37,060 --> 00:30:41,400
or remind people that this is available. It is said that one company had just recently reached

424
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:49,180
out and asked for that and he had provided it to them. And so we talked about reiterating

425
00:30:49,180 --> 00:30:53,140
with the Chamber of Sergeant Square Association and businesses that this is a service that they

426
00:30:53,140 --> 00:30:56,280
and utilize anyone who's in the city can utilize.

427
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,120
And Jonathan shared that he'd gotten some data

428
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,720
on the parks, so you want to speak to that a little bit

429
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,340
Jonathan, why you did that,

430
00:31:05,380 --> 00:31:07,880
and what you were hoping to get from that?

431
00:31:08,860 --> 00:31:11,800
Yeah, I think that request came through the city manager

432
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,620
and the parks department, and also retail strategies

433
00:31:16,620 --> 00:31:20,340
was kind of enough to provide the visitation information

434
00:31:20,340 --> 00:31:22,100
that they were able to gather from there.

435
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:30,580
data bases in terms of visitors to the parks and where they're coming from.

436
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:37,240
So it's great that we have that information now and that they're available for resource

437
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:44,640
not only to our businesses but also to us at the city for our own parks and operations.

438
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,980
It started with the pool.

439
00:31:47,980 --> 00:31:54,220
So, as you all may remember from Budget Conversations last year, we have a very high number

440
00:31:54,220 --> 00:31:56,680
of day passes at the pool, right?

441
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,800
So unlike the memberships, we don't know where they're coming from.

442
00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:04,180
And so director Rogers and I were having a conversation and he said, oh, only, you know,

443
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:09,180
we could tell if those people are residents or not, and the lightbulb just sort of went

444
00:32:09,180 --> 00:32:10,100
off from ahead of us.

445
00:32:10,140 --> 00:32:16,880
We could ask retail strategies for the cell phone data to see whether those people are residents

446
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:17,480
or not.

447
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:23,680
And what's interesting and also terrifying about this is, if you don't know, is that they can tell

448
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,960
every time you're phone, they can use all the phone data, so your phone is pinging everywhere

449
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:33,060
you go, and so they can tell how many times, and then they can tell from how far you're traveling

450
00:32:33,060 --> 00:32:38,200
as well, so that's how they can track how many people go our home depot or our Walmart or

451
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:38,840
our parks.

452
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:44,740
So, and that was the bulk of our conversation today.

453
00:32:45,380 --> 00:32:46,320
Do you have anything to add?

454
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,840
Yeah, I mean, the only thing that had is,

455
00:32:49,980 --> 00:32:53,580
I don't know how feasible it is, but I made a recommendation that we consider

456
00:32:53,580 --> 00:32:59,600
doing a, almost like a workshop of if someone got the data, how to use the data

457
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:06,620
because that type of big data is not necessarily inherently intuitive for people.

458
00:33:06,620 --> 00:33:11,460
So, I don't know if that's feasible or not, but that was just the thought I had being someone

459
00:33:11,460 --> 00:33:19,260
at crunches data is maybe we need to have some sort of training mechanism do it over teams

460
00:33:19,260 --> 00:33:21,920
record it and make it available as far as that training.

461
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:23,160
So that was a thought.

462
00:33:23,540 --> 00:33:28,640
We also talked about putting a sample report on the website, so people can see what it looks like.

463
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:36,100
Our contract with retail strategies goes to May, and so we'll definitely be hearing from them

464
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:38,060
probably before the end of the year.

465
00:33:41,580 --> 00:33:45,440
Are there good any questions for DeCon to be on the cliff?

466
00:33:46,060 --> 00:33:49,560
Are they planning on doing their boots on and around again?

467
00:33:50,180 --> 00:33:52,000
I know they usually come in November of December.

468
00:33:52,340 --> 00:33:54,340
We did not talk about that.

469
00:33:59,550 --> 00:34:00,110
Thank you.

470
00:34:00,230 --> 00:34:02,330
We've got two hearing of persons before council.

471
00:34:02,550 --> 00:34:03,870
We have no one scheduled this evening.

472
00:34:04,950 --> 00:34:11,510
If I may, Ann Ball, the new director of GMHA, was kind of to accept my invitation to come

473
00:34:11,510 --> 00:34:14,370
tonight if you would be willing to get her some time.

474
00:34:14,370 --> 00:34:15,470
Thank you very much.

475
00:34:15,470 --> 00:34:16,650
Just wanted to come and say hello.

476
00:34:17,870 --> 00:34:18,230
Thank you.

477
00:34:18,230 --> 00:34:18,710
Thank you.

478
00:34:18,710 --> 00:34:19,410
I'm loud enough.

479
00:34:21,070 --> 00:34:22,190
Good evening, everyone.

480
00:34:22,290 --> 00:34:25,470
Thank you for the service that you provide to this wonderful community.

481
00:34:25,710 --> 00:34:27,550
I'm in my 18th day on the job.

482
00:34:27,930 --> 00:34:29,110
So my name is Dr. Annaball.

483
00:34:29,310 --> 00:34:32,450
I serve as the Executive Director of the Jogobitch Policy and Housing Authority.

484
00:34:32,970 --> 00:34:36,530
I come to you from the Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority, where I served as

485
00:34:36,530 --> 00:34:37,770
the Director of Resment Services.

486
00:34:38,510 --> 00:34:40,330
So I'm very excited to join this community.

487
00:34:40,330 --> 00:34:47,350
I'm really, um, would love to continue to engage in meaningful and crucial conversations with everyone

488
00:34:47,350 --> 00:34:53,250
that I'm looking at today in this evening, and so if anybody needs me, please, um, reach out,

489
00:34:53,570 --> 00:34:56,710
all my informations on the website. I'm happy to leave my cards here if you'd like,

490
00:34:56,990 --> 00:35:01,030
but I've just appreciated the welcome from some of you around the table today that I've had

491
00:35:01,030 --> 00:35:04,850
to this community, so just wanted to say hello. All right, thanks.

492
00:35:04,850 --> 00:35:05,850
Thank you.

493
00:35:11,820 --> 00:35:19,860
If you want to exit, you're escort is waiting right out the door there, so.

494
00:35:19,860 --> 00:35:20,680
Thank you.

495
00:35:20,780 --> 00:35:22,580
But you also welcome to stay here.

496
00:35:22,580 --> 00:35:23,720
Thank you.

497
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:24,620
Okay.

498
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:25,900
Thank you.

499
00:35:25,900 --> 00:35:27,200
Thank you.

500
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:27,480
All right.

501
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,400
We'll move on to hearing from the general public.

502
00:35:29,620 --> 00:35:32,580
If anybody would like to address council, come on up, Bill.

503
00:35:34,340 --> 00:35:35,820
Let's hear from you.

504
00:35:37,540 --> 00:35:43,760
I mean it just bill has a little on North Street specifically what I'm interested in talking

505
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:52,880
about is flock cameras, I assume that you people don't know what I'm talking about, okay?

506
00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:56,860
Well to start with they seem to be multiplying like rabbits,

507
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:05,640
but my concern is that to start

508
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:17,480
with they do make mistakes, they confuse zeros and o's and twos, they confuse ones and

509
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:26,120
eyes and I'm not ready to get stopped by red and blue lights and be told that my car is

510
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,720
stolen because a flat camera made a mistake.

511
00:36:32,540 --> 00:36:40,880
I was under the impression when the comment was made by the chief about the fact that there

512
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:49,860
were, I suppose, for going to be installed within the city or close to the city that they would

513
00:36:49,860 --> 00:36:55,840
on basically Northeast South and West Street and I don't know I made it there

514
00:36:55,840 --> 00:37:05,520
are now but at any rate I feel like I'm being constantly surveilled. I went

515
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:14,460
to tripod today and came home down route 44 and there's one right at the

516
00:37:14,460 --> 00:37:19,320
exit of tripod there's one also right south of Gertal Road and there's another

517
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:26,840
one right basically across in the state patrol post. So on my trip home, I got watched

518
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:27,620
three times.

519
00:37:30,820 --> 00:37:43,660
And I just don't really know where this is going. Obviously, places not within the city of the city doesn't have any jurisdiction about any of that.

520
00:37:44,420 --> 00:37:51,340
But there's some concern, at least on my part, about Fourth Amendment rights.

521
00:37:53,140 --> 00:37:58,620
So I don't know what's as far as this is concerned, what's happening within the city.

522
00:38:01,210 --> 00:38:08,950
So if you look for me to address that bill, I can tell you that we've not added any cameras since the original last.

523
00:38:09,550 --> 00:38:09,570
Yeah.

524
00:38:10,690 --> 00:38:12,730
This point don't intend to.

525
00:38:13,270 --> 00:38:18,430
The cameras that are in place are not spying on you.

526
00:38:18,490 --> 00:38:23,150
They do collect data, picture your license plate, picture the vehicle.

527
00:38:23,730 --> 00:38:26,510
But we're not tracking you or following you with that.

528
00:38:26,510 --> 00:38:34,430
The only time that the police would stop you, if the plate would be identified in the

529
00:38:34,430 --> 00:38:40,070
block system as being a vehicle that's wanted or stolen or some along that lines,

530
00:38:40,590 --> 00:38:44,630
and we would vet that information through the law enforcement database or leads.

531
00:38:44,810 --> 00:38:47,070
It's called leads prior to stopping you.

532
00:38:48,690 --> 00:38:56,310
So that information that's in-flock gets validated prior to us stopping anybody.

533
00:38:56,310 --> 00:39:03,230
for any type of other violation, so it's not like it's something that we're monitoring

534
00:39:03,230 --> 00:39:07,790
your movements, that's not how that operates, it's not how we use it.

535
00:39:08,470 --> 00:39:13,470
Well, after 20-27 it's going to get to the point where your current monitoring.

536
00:39:13,650 --> 00:39:19,410
Right, and I think you'd be sort here earlier that the amount of information it's coming

537
00:39:19,410 --> 00:39:24,990
from your cell phone that is being collected and used for marketing and other reasons.

538
00:39:24,990 --> 00:39:30,450
I mean, you know, that's probably way more intrusive than the flock camera is.

539
00:39:31,190 --> 00:39:34,610
For us, there is value in having those cameras.

540
00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:37,910
I could just, you know, I could just write off the top of my head.

541
00:39:37,910 --> 00:39:43,710
There's been a number of situations where the flock data has been very beneficial.

542
00:39:43,710 --> 00:39:49,750
Just this last weekend, we've had a situation where we had a mental health concern for

543
00:39:49,750 --> 00:39:51,530
individual that had gone missing.

544
00:39:51,530 --> 00:39:59,450
We were able to utilize that flock system to determine that that vehicle that look I had left in was well out of state

545
00:40:00,410 --> 00:40:06,330
So not only is that helpful for us that we're not spending a lot of resources in the immediate area looking for

546
00:40:06,330 --> 00:40:12,730
We also know that our problem now is transferred and gone other places and I can't get into the details

547
00:40:12,730 --> 00:40:19,810
Because that's still an open investigation, but I could tell you did help us to know that that person was no longer to write in our immediate area

548
00:40:19,810 --> 00:40:29,810
Equally important is that those cameras in some cases give us warning when somebody has come into the area that is wanted and their information has been entered into the system

549
00:40:30,430 --> 00:40:38,730
And it identifies when they when they come in will get an warning that that vehicle's here now if that vehicle is discovered by one of our police officers

550
00:40:38,730 --> 00:40:48,850
We run it through a completely different database based on the registration on the vehicle to make sure that there is a valid warrant or valid reason to stop the vehicle

551
00:40:48,850 --> 00:40:53,630
So before we need to stop the car now, but it's it's it's it's definitely

552
00:40:53,630 --> 00:40:58,470
flock cameras are or something that is a very

553
00:40:59,330 --> 00:41:00,990
I guess we'd say a controversial

554
00:41:01,650 --> 00:41:05,450
Topic right now. We're definitely paying attention to that I get it

555
00:41:06,610 --> 00:41:11,910
I see pros and cons on both sides of that. I'll also tell you that

556
00:41:13,270 --> 00:41:17,470
Yeah, I don't I don't think that debate's gonna go away anytime soon

557
00:41:17,470 --> 00:41:24,010
there's a lot of misinformation out there about how the cameras are being used and also what

558
00:41:24,010 --> 00:41:27,690
they're capable of. There's a lot of misinformation being communicated.

559
00:41:29,170 --> 00:41:35,050
And then one more comment, you know, spin it back, but there are a number of cameras out there

560
00:41:35,050 --> 00:41:40,650
that are also privately owned that are not the municipality, so there's some even those in

561
00:41:40,650 --> 00:41:46,890
the businesses of purchase, especially businesses like your big box retail stores,

562
00:41:47,430 --> 00:41:49,530
have the ability to purchase flat cameras.

563
00:41:49,770 --> 00:41:53,310
Now where that comes, becomes helpful for those types of businesses,

564
00:41:54,250 --> 00:41:58,090
that when they're having large amounts of slippage from their stores,

565
00:41:58,710 --> 00:42:00,590
that's data that, you know, they're collecting,

566
00:42:01,470 --> 00:42:04,890
that also, you know, could be given to us to help us identify

567
00:42:04,890 --> 00:42:10,630
who just ran out of their store with, let's say, a whole skid full of

568
00:42:10,630 --> 00:42:13,470
So it's from their store, so I'll put it out.

569
00:42:14,130 --> 00:42:16,590
But thank you for bringing it up because it's definitely,

570
00:42:16,590 --> 00:42:20,930
it's definitely, it has been controversial between me

571
00:42:20,930 --> 00:42:25,570
and friends of mine and also between friends of mine

572
00:42:25,570 --> 00:42:28,150
and other friends of theirs.

573
00:42:30,190 --> 00:42:32,310
And let's say two or three years ago,

574
00:42:32,410 --> 00:42:33,830
they basically didn't exist.

575
00:42:34,570 --> 00:42:47,830
because this is come on pretty quickly and I just feel like I'm being followed, even though I

576
00:42:47,830 --> 00:42:55,670
probably am not, but I definitely don't want to follow you. I probably couldn't keep up with you.

577
00:42:55,670 --> 00:42:59,230
really said private businesses could buy flock.

578
00:42:59,470 --> 00:43:02,470
Sure, actually flock, one of the ways that flock

579
00:43:02,470 --> 00:43:04,990
got started was HOA's.

580
00:43:06,070 --> 00:43:07,710
HOA's were purchasing, in effect,

581
00:43:07,890 --> 00:43:10,670
that's how the owner started that company was the HOA.

582
00:43:10,850 --> 00:43:12,030
He was living in in the community.

583
00:43:12,310 --> 00:43:14,830
He was at, they were having a lot of thefts

584
00:43:14,830 --> 00:43:16,310
from vehicles within his community.

585
00:43:16,530 --> 00:43:20,510
So he came up with this idea to start captioning the license

586
00:43:20,510 --> 00:43:22,870
plate data so that when their cars get broken into,

587
00:43:22,870 --> 00:43:24,630
he could give it to the police to help them.

588
00:43:24,630 --> 00:43:26,330
So that's how that company gets started.

589
00:43:26,930 --> 00:43:29,250
I can see how you would think that they're like multiplying like

590
00:43:29,250 --> 00:43:29,950
Gremlins, right?

591
00:43:29,950 --> 00:43:34,010
But they're you're saying like, you know, that's just private business or some of it is.

592
00:43:34,190 --> 00:43:34,570
Some of it is.

593
00:43:34,570 --> 00:43:36,650
And municipalities are purchasing them.

594
00:43:37,050 --> 00:43:40,770
They're buying in on it because it does in some ways.

595
00:43:41,150 --> 00:43:43,590
And I'm not going to say that there's not some of you.

596
00:43:44,090 --> 00:43:49,030
But what I can tell you is that we very closely watch how our people are using them.

597
00:43:49,030 --> 00:43:51,870
And if there is abuse, what you're seeing now is,

598
00:43:51,870 --> 00:43:55,690
enforcement officers in the abuse those are going to be investigated and they could

599
00:43:55,690 --> 00:44:02,070
go to jail. So, and they're definitely going to lose their job. So, I'm already asking this,

600
00:44:02,610 --> 00:44:07,330
but I'll ask you here. We have a policy related to the flock. Correct? We do. That's correct.

601
00:44:07,750 --> 00:44:13,690
So, our policy would dictate how that data could be used by officers, by the officers. In

602
00:44:13,690 --> 00:44:19,970
most cases, there's two ways that you have the plates that are being flagged by when they come

603
00:44:19,970 --> 00:44:23,690
maybe they've been entered by another municipality of the vehicle that's of interest.

604
00:44:24,190 --> 00:44:29,110
The other way we use them in investigations is let's say I'm going to make something off.

605
00:44:29,270 --> 00:44:32,490
Let's say we have a robbery at one of our local businesses.

606
00:44:33,250 --> 00:44:37,790
And the vehicle description given will immediately put that information in the flock,

607
00:44:38,570 --> 00:44:43,210
so that if there's a, let's say it's a great viewic was used in, in the robbery.

608
00:44:43,330 --> 00:44:46,450
We put that into flock and it'll start immediately telling us,

609
00:44:46,450 --> 00:44:53,810
They work great UX or hitting flat cameras close to us so that helps us to start to spin down

610
00:44:53,810 --> 00:44:57,510
and maybe give us some data that will be helpful in solving our problem.

611
00:44:57,990 --> 00:44:59,970
And because one of the things that I found out is these people.

612
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,920
People that take, well, I'm going to be Joe Kuhl and pretty much obscure my license plate. That doesn't work.

613
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:08,900
Yeah. I don't think that's legal.

614
00:45:09,540 --> 00:45:23,780
Well, it's not legal, but it also, because of all the other information that flock together is about your car and the unusualness of it if it has any scratches or dancers, stickers on the bumper or whatever.

615
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:33,520
You can take your plate off the car and it can still figure out who it is, you know, for those people that think they're Joe cool.

616
00:45:34,900 --> 00:45:36,120
Surprise. Okay.

617
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:36,940
Okay. Thank you Bill.

618
00:45:37,940 --> 00:45:39,760
Does anyone else want to address counsel?

619
00:45:42,070 --> 00:45:42,310
All right.

620
00:45:42,570 --> 00:45:42,810
Very good.

621
00:45:42,890 --> 00:45:44,630
We'll move on to a little business.

622
00:45:44,910 --> 00:45:47,610
We have none moving on to new business.

623
00:45:48,210 --> 00:45:50,530
Business A is consideration of approval.

624
00:45:50,610 --> 00:45:53,990
The pocket park revised plans and events going to take us through that.

625
00:45:55,030 --> 00:46:01,670
So as Council Mayor member, we received a state capital award for the pocket part, which

626
00:46:01,670 --> 00:46:07,530
will be a ODNR administered grant, and as part of the conditions of that grant, we needed

627
00:46:07,530 --> 00:46:13,470
to redesign the pocket part project again to add back some of the amenities that had been

628
00:46:13,470 --> 00:46:22,550
previously cut, namely the shade structure, the lighting, and the seat wall, so you should

629
00:46:22,550 --> 00:46:31,050
in your packets that new design. What Adam and I had heard from talking to council members,

630
00:46:31,790 --> 00:46:37,870
the small group that helped get this project started, the planning commission was that sort of the

631
00:46:37,870 --> 00:46:43,990
the greatest interest so to speak were keeping as much green space as possible and

632
00:46:46,170 --> 00:46:52,530
obscuring sounds harsh but obscuring the building behind it to make it feel more natural

633
00:46:53,990 --> 00:47:01,490
So in adding back the shade structure, instead of making a whole new pad and dining area, instead

634
00:47:01,490 --> 00:47:07,550
the architects added it onto the existing dining area that was already in the design, and

635
00:47:07,550 --> 00:47:12,230
then it will also help with that obscuring of the building behind.

636
00:47:13,010 --> 00:47:15,970
As well as we've added some more shade trees.

637
00:47:16,730 --> 00:47:30,890
There's, we'd like to plant one big one sort of right in the middle of the park now, and more trees and shrubbery around the backside of the memorial and that seat wall that we can fully add back.

638
00:47:31,630 --> 00:47:43,850
So even with adding all of these things back, it is with the new Odinark grant will be a net savings of $123,000 in out of pocket costs to the city.

639
00:47:44,610 --> 00:47:49,850
And you should have in your packets a cost estimate for the design in front of you as well.

640
00:47:51,010 --> 00:47:57,730
So as I said earlier, if Council likes this design or has some minor tweaks that don't take too much,

641
00:47:57,930 --> 00:48:03,810
Director Rogers will be a planning commission later this month for their approval.

642
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:10,340
That's so great about the grant. It really is. It's really great.

643
00:48:10,340 --> 00:48:11,800
good, that's good work.

644
00:48:15,660 --> 00:48:18,380
Looks good vended. Are the questions for Ben on a net topic?

645
00:48:19,660 --> 00:48:26,620
By the question Ben. So it's brought to my attention by a resident that looked over some

646
00:48:26,620 --> 00:48:31,720
of the budget information and they were saying, well, it's just a green space. Why is it cost so much?

647
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:38,500
And I try to explain, look, it's not just planting a few trees and, you know, we'll

648
00:48:38,500 --> 00:48:42,800
landscape and call them in a day. It's going to be a proper part. Can you just unrecord

649
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:48,000
just go through some of the highlights of what exactly is going in there?

650
00:48:48,580 --> 00:48:52,600
Yeah, so the obviously the grass is not the big expats, right?

651
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:59,980
The big expences are the memorial and the sandstone wall to sort of complete that memorial.

652
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:11,680
The sandstone blocks both for that memorial wall and then also for the Shardin sign at the front of the pocket park sort of right on the intersection.

653
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:17,900
I, if I remember the price quote quickly, are the largest single line item that we're buying.

654
00:49:18,700 --> 00:49:25,780
The shade structure itself, which has to have a concrete foundation, built to be built to code,

655
00:49:26,300 --> 00:49:31,440
with stand snow load, all those wonderful things is another major line item.

656
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:38,580
And then the concrete work of putting in the sidewalks and the brick inlay's.

657
00:49:39,540 --> 00:49:46,680
and then the new cost with this grant is adding back in electric service so there will be some pedestrian lights along the pathway

658
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:51,200
the flag will be lit the shard and sign will be lit

659
00:49:54,050 --> 00:49:59,890
and then a buying live trees also isn't as cheap as you might think it should be.

660
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:08,640
that's yeah I didn't have that that time but yeah. Thank you.

661
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,800
Well any of the landscaping or such be done in-house?

662
00:50:14,500 --> 00:50:15,760
Are we hiring anything out?

663
00:50:16,420 --> 00:50:25,640
This will all be bid as a lump sum bid package, so the ultimately chosen contractor will be responsible for all of it.

664
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:44,720
We are, we have had talks with a potential donor who might donate the memorial itself, the stone bedends, but that has not been confirmed yet whether or not they are going to make that donation.

665
00:50:44,720 --> 00:50:46,840
Thank you.

666
00:50:48,420 --> 00:50:49,640
Don't you have any other questions for Ben?

667
00:50:49,980 --> 00:50:50,360
On the top.

668
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,880
I'll make the approval to approve the revised plan for the pocket bill.

669
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:57,840
Motion.

670
00:50:58,520 --> 00:50:59,660
That's all second, Ben.

671
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,760
Move the second and any further discussion?

672
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,260
We've got to, to approving this plan as it is.

673
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,900
There's a point that incentives blinding commission.

674
00:51:13,260 --> 00:51:22,220
So, per our zoning code, planning commission gets the chance to make recommendations on

675
00:51:22,220 --> 00:51:22,940
public improvements.

676
00:51:24,180 --> 00:51:26,620
So, I am legally required to take it to the bank.

677
00:51:26,780 --> 00:51:27,760
I understand that.

678
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,680
So, I'm asking for putting the card before the horse.

679
00:51:32,220 --> 00:51:33,820
You mean by having council go first?

680
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:41,280
So, Jonathan asked me the same question and my response to him, which is the same I'll give

681
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,900
is I am not comfortable taking to plan in commission.

682
00:51:46,940 --> 00:51:48,840
The city would like to build this,

683
00:51:48,860 --> 00:51:56,580
no my bosses haven't looked at it and said they like it. So I am bringing it to the people

684
00:51:56,580 --> 00:52:02,360
who will ultimately own it. And so, functionally, we are the property owner applying to the bank.

685
00:52:05,190 --> 00:52:05,750
Good,

686
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:14,140
good motion and seconded for the discussion of all questions.

687
00:52:14,700 --> 00:52:16,160
Mr. Gra? Yes.

688
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,680
Mr. Martin? Yes. Yes.

689
00:52:19,100 --> 00:52:20,220
Mr. Malaskin? Yes.

690
00:52:20,220 --> 00:52:21,160
Mr. Ying? Yes.

691
00:52:21,380 --> 00:52:22,400
Mr. Blackhead? Yes.

692
00:52:22,580 --> 00:52:24,000
Is this too hot? Yes.

693
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,040
Moving on to new business B.

694
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:29,920
Considering the abductions to.

695
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:40,080
All class C&D retail liquor permits, inspiring on October 1st, 2020, 6, and our law director will take us through this.

696
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:52,560
Thank you. Under a high-o-law, the City Council has the ability to object to the renewal of any class C or D retail liquor permits in the city.

697
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:58,680
If you want to object to the reissurance, you have to do so before September 1st.

698
00:52:58,740 --> 00:53:03,440
If you want your retail establishments to continue to operate with their C&D permits,

699
00:53:04,340 --> 00:53:05,140
you need to do nothing.

700
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:09,840
We have a new concern.

701
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:10,940
Is there a recommendation?

702
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,200
He said we

703
00:53:16,470 --> 00:53:18,970
can just move along then.

704
00:53:20,210 --> 00:53:20,710
Thank you.

705
00:53:21,650 --> 00:53:22,090
Very good.

706
00:53:22,090 --> 00:53:24,870
We're going to do business C considering

707
00:53:24,870 --> 00:53:30,630
objectives to a new C1 liquor permit for Ohio CBS stores

708
00:53:30,630 --> 00:53:34,010
to a nine six center street back to then.

709
00:53:34,330 --> 00:53:37,890
Yeah, I will say what I said before and also say that

710
00:53:37,890 --> 00:53:40,330
in this one for the Ohio CBS stores on center street,

711
00:53:40,350 --> 00:53:44,770
I'm not aware of any reason why we would object to their mind.

712
00:53:45,090 --> 00:53:46,350
You want permit to do it only.

713
00:53:46,670 --> 00:53:47,250
Take it.

714
00:53:47,250 --> 00:53:48,210
Believe so.

715
00:53:51,700 --> 00:53:53,080
It's a new one.

716
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,280
Any objections on that one?

717
00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:03,620
Thank you.

718
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,180
Those will want to.

719
00:54:08,620 --> 00:54:09,260
Legislation.

720
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:20,340
A.

721
00:54:22,140 --> 00:54:22,720
On the agenda.

722
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,420
Would anyone like this legislation read in its entirety.

723
00:54:26,300 --> 00:54:26,920
Hearing none.

724
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:29,740
The ordinance.

725
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:30,820
Can you just.

726
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:33,060
Thank you.

727
00:54:35,180 --> 00:54:38,560
And the ordinance authorizing the creation and closure of various city funds and

728
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,720
pending chapter 123 Finance Director of the Coutified

729
00:54:41,720 --> 00:54:47,080
Organization, the City of Charm, Nohailer, to clarify powers of the office and authorize city funds.

730
00:54:48,060 --> 00:54:53,720
This item is brought to us by Ben Young, the City Manager, so Ben will take this through that.

731
00:54:54,280 --> 00:55:00,740
Thank you. As member Meleski touched on earlier, we talked about this with the Finance Committee.

732
00:55:01,700 --> 00:55:10,080
So the city currently has 59 active budgetary funds, which is a high number for a city

733
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:11,580
our size.

734
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:19,080
So what we have for you tonight is a proposal to where we can consolidate some of those

735
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:23,360
funds close out some that are truly active anymore.

736
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:30,620
And then there are some minor retitling as we were going through with these funds trying

737
00:55:30,620 --> 00:55:36,980
match them to their authorizing sections of the R.C. So we have some minor retitling to make

738
00:55:36,980 --> 00:55:44,380
it clear or where they come from in the R.C. So examples include, you know, we still have the heritage

739
00:55:44,380 --> 00:55:50,460
house fund open from when the heritage house was built. So closing that out, we still have our

740
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:56,960
COVID-19 fund open, our American Rescue Act fund. So those are the examples of things that are

741
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:03,400
past projects that can now be closed out and then examples of some of the

742
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:08,260
consolidations are like we have an EMS fund that just collects EMS

743
00:56:08,260 --> 00:56:13,900
billing and then we have a firing MS operating fund. They both just pay a

744
00:56:13,900 --> 00:56:18,980
portion of the CFD contract so we could put those together and just have one

745
00:56:18,980 --> 00:56:25,300
fire operating fund. So it's all intended to try and make the budget easier for us

746
00:56:25,300 --> 00:56:28,740
to use and easier for the public to understand.

747
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:31,540
During the Finance Committee,

748
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:36,600
a member Yany brought up that there had been lawsuits

749
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,300
about the wastewater treatment plant fee,

750
00:56:40,140 --> 00:56:43,020
which led me to go pull boxes from the back room

751
00:56:43,020 --> 00:56:44,440
and read all five lawsuits.

752
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,300
I've talked to bearers, they're been about it.

753
00:56:49,420 --> 00:56:52,080
I am asking tonight that before you pass this,

754
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:58,200
If you pass it, you strike what was Section 10 in the original draft about the waste part

755
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:03,720
during the Pantheon, and we'll revisit that with water and sewer rates later this year.

756
00:57:04,060 --> 00:57:05,940
I make a motion to strike Section 10.

757
00:57:06,060 --> 00:57:08,040
Dr. Kent.

758
00:57:08,540 --> 00:57:09,940
Who would a second take for the discussion?

759
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:11,240
All the questions.

760
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:16,260
Mr. Martin?

761
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:16,860
Yes.

762
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:18,960
Ms. Maleski?

763
00:57:19,020 --> 00:57:19,340
Yes.

764
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:19,940
Mr. Maleski?

765
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:20,320
Yes.

766
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:21,380
Mr. Blackley?

767
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:21,700
Yes.

768
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:22,120
Yes.

769
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,400
You have? Yes. Mr. Grot. Yes.

770
00:57:26,610 --> 00:57:30,070
Happy to answer any specific questions.

771
00:57:30,830 --> 00:57:38,530
The one other thing I did want to point out is we are proposing one new fund, which is a permit and licenses fee fund.

772
00:57:38,970 --> 00:57:44,670
And that's on the recommendation of Council to help us just make sure everything is kosher.

773
00:57:48,230 --> 00:57:50,890
One other thing we did talk about.

774
00:57:50,890 --> 00:58:00,690
are currently or two sidewalk funds. One of them would be closed out. My comment was

775
00:58:00,690 --> 00:58:04,910
at one point we had two different types of assessments.

776
00:58:07,130 --> 00:58:10,210
And the one that I was concerned

777
00:58:10,210 --> 00:58:19,290
about would an essence be no more funds in it this year. So based on that I was okay with

778
00:58:19,290 --> 00:58:32,290
because the whole purpose of it was there was almost, if I recall with some sort of earmarking type of thing and if we use it then there's no more earmarking to be concerned with.

779
00:58:33,530 --> 00:58:34,470
Does that make sense?

780
00:58:34,970 --> 00:58:46,290
So we had kept it kept them separate because of this legislation that drove them differently and it's going to be in essence all used up by the end of the year.

781
00:58:47,190 --> 00:58:48,510
projected to 0.0.

782
00:58:48,510 --> 00:58:49,550
I don't know about that.

783
00:58:52,060 --> 00:58:52,660
Can I have a seat?

784
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,820
Ben, is there anything that you want to touch on?

785
00:58:57,420 --> 00:58:59,700
You're also this legislation.

786
00:59:00,580 --> 00:59:04,580
Revises chapter 123 finance director and financial regulations.

787
00:59:05,940 --> 00:59:07,340
Anything that you want to highlight in that?

788
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,460
So the bulk of it is right now,

789
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,000
only some of our funds exist in chapter 123.

790
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,820
So the bulk of the red line is making sure that every single fund

791
00:59:16,820 --> 00:59:23,400
is in 123 specifically authorized by Council, and then right at the beginning of the chapter,

792
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:29,280
very similar to what we did for the City Manager. We just added a section about setting

793
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,400
very clear powers of the Finance Director.

794
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,000
The vast majority of the thick redline document is

795
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,520
just setting the ORC authorizing provisions for every fund.

796
00:59:48,100 --> 00:59:49,960
Any other questions for Ben on that?

797
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:56,220
Is there a motion to suspend the rule requiring three reading meetings for ordinance number

798
00:59:56,220 --> 00:59:58,080
three three six five?

799
00:59:58,320 --> 00:59:58,740
So moved.

800
01:00:07,150 --> 01:00:19,630
Mr. Yany? Yes. Mr. Blackley? Yes. Mr. Suha? Yes. Mr. Grah. Yes. Mr. Martin? Yes. Mr. Motion to adopt ordinance 3365 under suspension of the rules.

801
01:00:19,630 --> 01:00:20,850
The mood.

802
01:00:20,970 --> 01:00:21,870
The second.

803
01:00:22,310 --> 01:00:23,950
The second for the discussion.

804
01:00:24,270 --> 01:00:24,850
Hearing none.

805
01:00:25,030 --> 01:00:25,950
Call the question.

806
01:00:27,310 --> 01:00:27,870
Mr. Malaskin.

807
01:00:28,470 --> 01:00:28,530
Yes.

808
01:00:28,530 --> 01:00:29,210
Mr. Yane.

809
01:00:30,150 --> 01:00:30,650
Blackly.

810
01:00:30,690 --> 01:00:31,010
Yes.

811
01:00:31,210 --> 01:00:31,890
Mr. Tua.

812
01:00:32,670 --> 01:00:33,250
Mr. Gra.

813
01:00:33,390 --> 01:00:33,730
Yes.

814
01:00:33,890 --> 01:00:34,530
Mr. Martin.

815
01:00:35,370 --> 01:00:35,970
Yes.

816
01:00:37,130 --> 01:00:37,950
Motion carries.

817
01:00:38,730 --> 01:00:40,630
Moving on to.

818
01:00:41,870 --> 01:00:43,070
Legislation B.

819
01:00:45,490 --> 01:00:47,110
Would anyone like this legislation ready?

820
01:00:47,970 --> 01:00:48,510
It's entirety.

821
01:00:48,510 --> 01:00:57,770
hearing none. Resolution number 19-26. A resolution providing for the control of light

822
01:00:57,770 --> 01:01:01,630
and disease of shade trees within public rights of weight and for planting maintaining

823
01:01:01,630 --> 01:01:06,150
trimming and removing shade trees in and along the streets of the city of Shardin,

824
01:01:06,510 --> 01:01:10,970
authorizing the shade tree commissions that are provided during the year 2022. The

825
01:01:10,970 --> 01:01:15,770
abyshing a single district for a sit for a visit in accordance with the provisions of section 727.

826
01:01:15,770 --> 01:01:21,970

01:01:26,710 --> 01:01:27,470

829
01:01:28,550 --> 01:01:31,930
This is brought to us by Ben Chernecki.

830
01:01:32,870 --> 01:01:35,830
Thank you. This is the legislation we do every year,

831
01:01:35,830 --> 01:01:40,910
contemplating for the control and removal of light and disease and shade trees within the

832
01:01:40,910 --> 01:01:41,810
public rights way.

833
01:01:44,750 --> 01:01:46,730
Are there any questions for Ben?

834
01:01:51,940 --> 01:01:56,700
Is there a motion to suspend the rule requiring free reading reading is for ordinance number?

835
01:01:57,340 --> 01:01:58,820
Sorry for resolution

836
01:01:58,820 --> 01:02:01,360
19-26 so moved

837
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,580
Move the second it for the discussion called a question

838
01:02:07,060 --> 01:02:18,380
Mr. Jamie? Yes, Mr. Blackley. Yes, Mrs. Chu. Yes, Mr. Gra. Yes, Mr. Martin. Yes, Ms. Means. Yes, Mr. Maleski. Yes, is there a motion to adopt

839
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:23,760
Resolution number nineteen dash twenty six under suspension of the rules

840
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:29,110
Who do second it for the discussion hearing none call the question?

841
01:02:29,860 --> 01:02:38,600
Mr. Blackley. Yes, Mrs. Suha. Yes, Mr. Grah. Yes, Mr. Martin. Yes, Ms. Means. Yes, Mr. Maleski. Yes, Mr.

842
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:42,420
Haney. Yes. Motion carries moving on to the legislation C.

843
01:02:44,950 --> 01:02:49,770
On the agenda with anyone like this legislation red and it's entirety hearing none.

844
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:57,540
Resolution number 20-26, a resolution of necessity for the assessment of street lighting and

845
01:02:57,540 --> 01:02:58,400
declaring an emergency.

846
01:03:09,410 --> 01:03:12,010
This is brought to us by a law director.

847
01:03:12,890 --> 01:03:13,430
Thank you.

848
01:03:13,910 --> 01:03:18,950
This contemplates the assessment of street lighting, assessment of properties for street lighting

849
01:03:18,950 --> 01:03:19,770
within the city.

850
01:03:21,530 --> 01:03:24,110
Are there any questions for law director on this issue?

851
01:03:24,710 --> 01:03:30,510
I would question if it would go to the law director or to the finance director, but the assessment

852
01:03:30,510 --> 01:03:34,790
$130,000, how does that compare to what we're being charged by first energy?

853
01:03:37,930 --> 01:03:43,050
That is slightly lower, but we do have a carryover balance so we are covered.

854
01:03:44,770 --> 01:03:52,010
Have you seen, is that number, can you see any trends decreasing or increasing?

855
01:03:52,510 --> 01:04:00,730
A lot of power costs are increasing, but in theory we have, not in theory in practice, we have streetlights that consume less power than previously.

856
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:10,600
Yeah that did occur a few years back but yes rates are increasing so that number is increasing

857
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:14,800
and eventually we'll need a assessment we'll need to be increased but for now carry over

858
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:20,140
balance does cup does cover so that amount that we've used in the past is sufficient.

859
01:04:20,340 --> 01:04:20,920
Okay.

860
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:21,140
We're good.

861
01:04:21,260 --> 01:04:21,520
Thank you.

862
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:27,180
Our strategy had also submitted a new terrorist plan that proposed building street lighting

863
01:04:27,180 --> 01:04:32,820
at the same basically getting rid of the special lower rate for government street lighting.

864
01:04:33,740 --> 01:04:41,460
which thankfully Puko rejected, but they are trying to make us pay more.

865
01:04:42,500 --> 01:04:43,160
No surprise there.

866
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:51,640
Are there any available grants to look at solar-street lighting?

867
01:04:54,860 --> 01:04:55,620
I'm using Moonlight.

868
01:04:55,620 --> 01:04:56,580
They're certainly asking no.

869
01:04:57,940 --> 01:05:00,040
Capture the power during the day.

870
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:01,080
Yes, absolutely.

871
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:02,040
You have to get the battery power.

872
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:05,960
And he might be something that considered some point to help off set.

873
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:07,760
I tell you, I agree.

874
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,680
I like the idea of sustainable power of generation.

875
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,800
Years ago, we had a city electric utility.

876
01:05:17,100 --> 01:05:18,660
We should go re-establish that.

877
01:05:20,220 --> 01:05:21,860
Did we ever actually generate?

878
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:22,920
No.

879
01:05:23,220 --> 01:05:23,420
No.

880
01:05:23,420 --> 01:05:27,560
The idea was, so there was a thought at one point about it.

881
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:31,560
actually, because of, again, charges being levied by

882
01:05:32,540 --> 01:05:35,340
Cleveland Electric eliminating, as it was known back then, that the

883
01:05:35,340 --> 01:05:38,360
city was contemplating, creating his own electric utility, if

884
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:42,220
nothing else, to bring power into the city at a lower rate.

885
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,240
And then, so the question always came down to, who owns the

886
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:48,520
infrastructure? And of course, illuminating company owns it.

887
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:50,540
And they're not just going to let you use it for free.

888
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:56,480
And then with things with subsequent to that, there were

889
01:05:56,480 --> 01:06:00,520
changes in legislation and it was just, it was no longer really an issue.

890
01:06:00,740 --> 01:06:05,520
But it was a good leverage in working with, with them to let them know that we were serious

891
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:09,000
about the costs that we were being charged.

892
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:15,780
I think that helped us get a little more, a little more respect or a little more respect

893
01:06:15,780 --> 01:06:16,780
from that right word.

894
01:06:17,620 --> 01:06:23,180
But a little more consideration as far as what we were being charged for electricity.

895
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:30,060
That was 30 years ago or in a far, far different situation now than it was back then.

896
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,060
Again, we don't own the distribution infrastructure.

897
01:06:37,090 --> 01:06:42,850
And I'm not proposing that we string our own lines and polls like City Cleveland.

898
01:06:43,170 --> 01:06:44,950
That would be tedious.

899
01:06:49,250 --> 01:06:50,350
Any other comments?

900
01:06:51,630 --> 01:06:59,290
There are emotions used to spend the rule requiring three readings for resolution number

901
01:06:59,290 --> 01:07:01,230
twenty- twenty-six.

902
01:07:01,970 --> 01:07:02,330
Second.

903
01:07:03,590 --> 01:07:04,050
Second.

904
01:07:04,730 --> 01:07:05,370
For the discussion.

905
01:07:05,870 --> 01:07:06,530
Call a question.

906
01:07:07,270 --> 01:07:08,070
Mrs. Chua.

907
01:07:08,330 --> 01:07:08,650
Yes.

908
01:07:08,730 --> 01:07:09,330
Mr. Gra.

909
01:07:09,490 --> 01:07:09,850
Yes.

910
01:07:09,990 --> 01:07:10,630
Mr. Martin.

911
01:07:10,850 --> 01:07:11,250
Yes.

912
01:07:12,650 --> 01:07:13,250
Mr. Maleski.

913
01:07:13,270 --> 01:07:13,650
Yes.

914
01:07:13,790 --> 01:07:14,290
Mr. Yany.

915
01:07:14,990 --> 01:07:15,690
Mr. Blackley.

916
01:07:17,090 --> 01:07:24,090
Is there a motion to adopt resolution 20-26 under suspension of the rules?

917
01:07:25,530 --> 01:07:25,670
Okay.

918
01:07:26,770 --> 01:07:28,170
Move a second for the discussion.

919
01:07:28,910 --> 01:07:29,450
Hearing none.

920
01:07:29,570 --> 01:07:29,970
Call the question.

921
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:39,840
Mr. Grant? Yes. Mr. Martin? Yes. Yes. Mr. Maleski? Yes. Mr. Yane? Yes. Mr. Blackley? Yes. This is too hot. Yes.

922
01:07:42,510 --> 01:07:59,630
Moving on to legislation D. Would anyone like this legislation read in its entirety? Hearing none. Resolution number 21-26, a resolution of necessity for the assessment of sidewalks and declaring an emergency.

923
01:08:00,270 --> 01:08:04,710
and this is brought to us by Dan Channaki once again.

924
01:08:05,070 --> 01:08:09,310
Thank you. This is a resolution and necessity for the assessment of sidewalks throughout the city.

925
01:08:18,830 --> 01:08:19,410
What about it?

926
01:08:20,910 --> 01:08:22,290
What about this here?

927
01:08:25,710 --> 01:08:26,730
One minute of meeting.

928
01:08:26,730 --> 01:08:28,030
I'm reading answer there.

929
01:08:29,270 --> 01:08:30,290
Stop it.

930
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:43,320
Is there a motion to suspend the rule requiring three readings for resolution 21-26?

931
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:45,180
It will move.

932
01:08:46,460 --> 01:08:47,760
Who was the seconded for the discussion?

933
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:49,040
Call the question.

934
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:50,780
Mr. Martin.

935
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:52,100
Ms. Means.

936
01:08:52,140 --> 01:08:52,460
Yes.

937
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:53,360
Mr. Milesky.

938
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:54,600
Mr. Yaney.

939
01:08:55,220 --> 01:08:55,880
Mr. Blackley.

940
01:08:55,900 --> 01:08:56,180
Yes.

941
01:08:56,340 --> 01:08:56,560
Yes.

942
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:56,780
Yes.

943
01:08:56,780 --> 01:09:03,420
Yes, Mr. Grant. Yes. Is there a motion to adopt resolution 21-26?

944
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,380
The suspension of the rules.

945
01:09:06,260 --> 01:09:06,320
Okay.

946
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:09,100
So the second tip for the discussion.

947
01:09:10,220 --> 01:09:10,980
All the questions.

948
01:09:11,540 --> 01:09:13,800
Ms. Means? Yes. Mr. Mileski? Yes.

949
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:15,020
Mr. Yani? Yes.

950
01:09:15,540 --> 01:09:16,680
Mr. Blackley? Yes.

951
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,360
Mr. Tuhah? Yes. Mr. Grant? Yes.

952
01:09:22,710 --> 01:09:24,970
Moving on to legislation E.

953
01:09:24,970 --> 01:09:29,170
Would anyone like this legislation red in its entirety hearing none?

954
01:09:30,550 --> 01:09:32,790
Number 22-26.

955
01:09:33,350 --> 01:09:37,370
A final resolution approving the city's contract with the Ohio Department of Transportation

956
01:09:37,370 --> 01:09:40,810
for the construction of city-wide traffic signal upgrades.

957
01:09:41,930 --> 01:09:45,030
Project identification number one two zero eight one five.

958
01:09:45,410 --> 01:09:47,590
Thank you. This is brought to us by Justin.

959
01:09:48,890 --> 01:09:52,270
Thank you Mayor. This is a final resolution approving up.

960
01:09:52,270 --> 01:09:57,150
It's the last ODOT requirement to keep our singleization project running.

961
01:09:57,510 --> 01:09:59,290
I was going to pull up and see there.

962
01:10:00,390 --> 01:10:05,930
So this will authorize us the amount to cut the checked ODOT and then they can go out to

963
01:10:05,930 --> 01:10:06,650
it.

964
01:10:10,050 --> 01:10:11,170
Any questions to Dustin?

965
01:10:13,470 --> 01:10:21,970
Is there a motion to suspend the rule requiring three readings for resolution 22-26?

966
01:10:28,590 --> 01:10:29,230
Yes.

967
01:10:31,250 --> 01:10:31,810
Mr. Blackley?

968
01:10:32,470 --> 01:10:32,870
Yes.

969
01:10:33,890 --> 01:10:35,590
Mr. Martin?

970
01:10:36,330 --> 01:10:36,530
Yes.

971
01:10:36,870 --> 01:10:36,890
Yes.

972
01:10:36,890 --> 01:10:37,090
Yes.

973
01:10:37,930 --> 01:10:45,550
Is there a motion to adopt resolution 22-26 under suspension of the rules?

974
01:10:46,850 --> 01:10:49,070
The rule, the second.

975
01:10:49,070 --> 01:10:49,950
in a further discussion.

976
01:10:50,790 --> 01:10:51,690
All the questions.

977
01:10:52,490 --> 01:10:53,010
Mr. Yany?

978
01:10:53,930 --> 01:10:54,690
Mr. Blackley?

979
01:10:54,830 --> 01:10:55,090
Yes.

980
01:10:55,250 --> 01:10:56,110
Mrs. Tuhah?

981
01:10:56,370 --> 01:10:56,670
Yes.

982
01:10:56,790 --> 01:10:57,530
Mr. Graud?

983
01:10:57,690 --> 01:10:58,030
Yes.

984
01:10:58,290 --> 01:10:58,890
Mr. Martin?

985
01:10:59,150 --> 01:10:59,290
Yes.

986
01:10:59,510 --> 01:10:59,930
His name?

987
01:11:00,250 --> 01:11:00,450
Yes.

988
01:11:00,710 --> 01:11:01,210
Mr. Melissa.

989
01:11:01,550 --> 01:11:01,770
Yes.

990
01:11:06,540 --> 01:11:07,140
It's good.

991
01:11:07,540 --> 01:11:09,320
Moving on to review of expenditures.

992
01:11:10,980 --> 01:11:11,760
Who's it?

993
01:11:12,140 --> 01:11:13,080
Come to now.

994
01:11:17,340 --> 01:11:21,440
So I'm happy to report the expenditures are in order.

995
01:11:21,740 --> 01:11:23,340
And I just wanted to give an update

996
01:11:23,340 --> 01:11:30,800
on, Mark and I had been working on trying to be more efficient and implement workflows.

997
01:11:32,020 --> 01:11:39,680
So if you recall, whoever's been an expenditure reviewer in the past, the big part of the task

998
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:45,540
was looking forward to someone in the initial design, the expenditure that's now moved over

999
01:11:45,540 --> 01:11:48,320
to an electronic process.

1000
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:54,320
So, out of, and I, sorry, didn't do a full count, but out of all of them, which is probably

1001
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:56,760
in the neighborhood of 120.

1002
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:00,580
There were three that hadn't gone through that flow this time.

1003
01:12:01,300 --> 01:12:04,260
So, to go through that, this time was like two minutes.

1004
01:12:05,100 --> 01:12:11,960
The other part that I look at is the threshold of spend and there's different requirements.

1005
01:12:12,980 --> 01:12:17,500
And so, what I did is I pulled and booked in the system to find

1006
01:12:17,500 --> 01:12:21,740
and make sure that that was satisfied and everything blind there.

1007
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:30,320
So based on some of these improvements, I'm probably going to have during a finance committee

1008
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:37,500
look at the potential of changing the requirement on the expenditure review and then making

1009
01:12:37,500 --> 01:12:45,580
a recommendation to council because of like literally there would have been a 15 minute exercise

1010
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:51,480
with some of the ways that I'm pulling the data in and comparing it now.

1011
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:57,520
So that's what I'm looking at because it's really, and there were everything was completely

1012
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:03,940
in order this time, and there were only three then and now, and that to, I went through

1013
01:13:03,940 --> 01:13:10,740
the data, it told me which ones to look at, one and look at them, and that was probably another

1014
01:13:10,740 --> 01:13:11,280
two minutes.

1015
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:17,520
So that's my update, and I know it's a little bit more than normal, but from my

1016
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:22,180
standpoint, it's a good progress along the way of trying to improve the process as well.

1017
01:13:22,340 --> 01:13:22,940
It's excellent.

1018
01:13:24,140 --> 01:13:29,380
Going to that process, I appreciate after you're putting into this and Mark is well over

1019
01:13:29,380 --> 01:13:31,900
a team from the finance department.

1020
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:34,680
Yes, thank you so much, Mark, for the support on.

1021
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:34,940
Thanks.

1022
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:35,780
Jessup, it too.

1023
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:36,920
Yeah, I mean, Jessup.

1024
01:13:38,180 --> 01:13:38,500
Yeah.

1025
01:13:38,500 --> 01:13:42,880
I mean, the purpose of every view of expenditures, we've provided some council oversight

1026
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:44,000
on that.

1027
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:51,540
You would feel satisfied that the finance committee would still feel comfortable in signing

1028
01:13:51,540 --> 01:13:53,740
off, essentially, on what's being spent.

1029
01:13:54,120 --> 01:14:01,540
Well, so from a standpoint, and I had that thought as well, it may come more of either

1030
01:14:01,540 --> 01:14:07,720
every other month or quarterly where you could actually throw that net out there make sure that

1031
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:12,160
I mean, if you can do it that fast, I think you could do it quarterly and have something

1032
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:19,100
in all in those lines so that's a thought that I had as well as there's a purpose for it and

1033
01:14:19,100 --> 01:14:26,220
I think based on some of those improvements it's pretty quickly done and to do a quarter would

1034
01:14:26,220 --> 01:14:32,560
not be that difficult to do and most of it. I mean, let's see, the only things I was looking

1035
01:14:33,220 --> 01:14:40,240
for physically were three that then have workflows, so three actual paper copy signatures

1036
01:14:40,980 --> 01:14:46,280
and three that were missing then, or I needed then and now is which they all three had done

1037
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:57,100
house, or maybe it was too, but so all that to say, one could ask for it. One could review

1038
01:14:57,100 --> 01:14:59,980
electronically, quarterly, and you could actually probably, yeah.

1039
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:09,540
I ask for, I want to see these five items type of thing. So, to your point, yeah, I think we could do, if we

1040
01:15:09,540 --> 01:15:17,240
didn't eliminate it, we could do it orderly or do it ad hoc, whichever we, I understand your

1041
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:18,940
thoughts there.

1042
01:15:22,220 --> 01:15:29,160
Okay, thanks, Dan. We'll move on to executive session. We do have

1043
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:32,300
the reason for executive session for the following reasons.

1044
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:35,980
Consider the appointment and appointment of this

1045
01:15:35,980 --> 01:15:38,120
and this whole discipline, the motion, will

1046
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:41,060
compensate for the public or the official.

1047
01:15:42,820 --> 01:15:45,720
And preparing for conducting overview

1048
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:49,500
negotiations regarding sessions for public employees,

1049
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:50,800
concerning their compensation.

1050
01:15:52,100 --> 01:15:54,400
For other terms and conditions of their

1051
01:15:55,660 --> 01:16:01,140
into the second session I would like to talk to you today for the Council of

1052
01:16:01,140 --> 01:16:06,420
the Young and City Manager, the convention I can talk to the recorder, so it's

1053
01:16:06,420 --> 01:16:07,920
got an ESG for please.

1054
01:16:11,130 --> 01:16:17,270
I need a motion to go into the second session.

1055
01:16:17,770 --> 01:16:21,610
So, the second question? Question yourself.

1056
01:16:22,210 --> 01:16:23,290
Mr. Blackley? Yes.

1057
01:16:23,510 --> 01:16:26,170
Is this Suha? Yes. Mr. Braw? Yes.

1058
01:16:26,170 --> 01:16:30,750
Martin? Yes, Mr. Malay. Yes.

1059
01:16:30,750 --> 01:16:37,410
Yeah, all right we are an executive session at 74 cents.

1060
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:48,880
We're a Barnett taxes.

1061
01:16:49,100 --> 01:16:52,740
All right, the 57 and we are back and open session.

1062
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:53,750
They're all for adventuring.

1063
01:16:55,220 --> 01:16:56,540
Can't focus.

1064
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,100
Any other business to come before Council?

1065
01:17:02,740 --> 01:17:07,560
Well, it was time for our city manager's first

1066
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:18,520
review in his position, all of Council participated to a high level of reviewing his leadership

1067
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:24,880
skills and all the things that he does to contribute greatly to our city, as we've said

1068
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:25,460
to him

1069
01:17:28,060 --> 01:17:33,040
many times that we greatly appreciate what he's doing, we hear nothing but could

1070
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:37,580
views from different organizations, such as the county and the

1071
01:17:37,580 --> 01:17:41,380
Charlotte local schools and the business community here in

1072
01:17:41,380 --> 01:17:47,480
Sheridan. And relative to that, then we would like to increase

1073
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:52,860
him from step 1.2 over thereabouts to 3.

1074
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:57,420
Step 3 is his new compensation level. And we're very happy to do that.

1075
01:17:58,100 --> 01:17:59,720
So thank you, Ben. Thank you.

1076
01:18:02,440 --> 01:18:03,760
I'll make that motion.

1077
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:05,180
I'll sign it.

1078
01:18:05,420 --> 01:18:06,940
Move the second it for the discussion.

1079
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:08,820
Call the question.

1080
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:10,260
Mrs. Tura.

1081
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:11,080
Yes.

1082
01:18:11,340 --> 01:18:12,040
Mr. Braw.

1083
01:18:12,460 --> 01:18:12,860
Yes.

1084
01:18:12,860 --> 01:18:13,360
Mr. Martin.

1085
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:14,440
Yes.

1086
01:18:15,100 --> 01:18:15,280
Yes.

1087
01:18:15,480 --> 01:18:16,220
Mr. Malaski.

1088
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:16,600
Yes.

1089
01:18:16,780 --> 01:18:17,300
Mr. Yany.

1090
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:18,420
Yes.

1091
01:18:19,060 --> 01:18:19,840
Mr. Blackley.

1092
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:20,280
Yes.

1093
01:18:21,660 --> 01:18:22,340
Motion carries.

1094
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:24,220
Once again, thank you, Ben, for what are you doing?

1095
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:25,180
Thank you.

1096
01:18:25,340 --> 01:18:25,780
Thank you, Ben.

1097
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:27,740
Is there any other business to come before council?

1098
01:18:31,180 --> 01:18:39,420
Just a public thought is school starts next week, so I'm just going to see the same thing on Wednesday.

1099
01:18:40,420 --> 01:18:41,920
I believe it is.

1100
01:18:42,540 --> 01:18:42,560
Yes.

1101
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:48,000
In the first football game is actually next Thursday, not next Friday, so.

1102
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:52,620
But just driving patterns will be a little different in school buses.

1103
01:18:53,860 --> 01:19:01,660
And we had the ribbon cutting for the new test course, and there was the ribbon cutting for the library, very big week for that.

1104
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:10,660
And I'll just say, like, thank you to the 1.2 million anonymous donation to build those tennis courts.

1105
01:19:11,980 --> 01:19:13,220
That's pretty remarkable.

1106
01:19:16,980 --> 01:19:17,680
By one family.

1107
01:19:21,500 --> 01:19:24,000
Multiple donors from what I've been told by the school.

1108
01:19:24,940 --> 01:19:29,500
Well, thank you to them, but yeah, it's a remarkable gift.

1109
01:19:29,500 --> 01:19:30,860
Yeah, it's a remarkable gift.

1110
01:19:31,220 --> 01:19:31,340
Yeah.

1111
01:19:32,020 --> 01:19:33,100
It did a nice job.

1112
01:19:34,780 --> 01:19:35,760
Any other business?

1113
01:19:37,740 --> 01:19:38,440
Go to adjourn.

1114
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:42,140
Second, all the favors signify by saying aye.

1115
01:19:44,420 --> 01:19:47,820
We are adjourned at exactly nine.
