00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:01,760

present this evening. Um, please note

33
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:18,479
that council does anticipate entering

34
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:21,759
into an executive session later on into

35
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:24,159
tonight's meeting to discuss pending

36
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:28,230

00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,960
Moving right along, we will um move to

38
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:33,280
correcting and adopting the previous

39
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,520
meeting minutes. We are in receipt of

40
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,000
regular meeting minutes from the August

41
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,680
13th June uh 2026 meeting. Are there any

42
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,600
corrections to the minutes as presented?

43
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,759
I'll make a motion to adopt second

44
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:48,880
maintenance as presented.

45
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,320
>> We have a first by uh Mr. Pavick.

46
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,119
>> Did I hear a second?

47
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:54,079
>> I did second.

48
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:56,159
>> Uh we have a second by Mr. Bolus. Is

49
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:58,640
there any additional discussion?

50
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,159
Hearing none. Madam clerk, please call

51
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:01,200

52
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,320
>> Jessica Epstein?

53
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:02,719

54
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:03,600

>> Yes.

63
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:10,560
>> Jonathan Bullis?

64
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,750
>> Yes.

65
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,520
All right, that motion carries with a

66
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,200
vote of 7 to zero.

67
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,800
We are in receipt of no financial

68
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,640
reports this evening and we have no

69
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:25,040
public hearings this evening. So, we

70
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,400
will move into community input. This is

71
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,760
the point of the meeting where public

72
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,319
input is invited to discuss an item not

73
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:35,280
on the agenda. If an item is on the

74
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,440
agenda or set for public hearing, input

75
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,000
is invited at the appropriate time. Do

76
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,360
we have anyone in the audience that

77
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,200
would like to come to the microphone and

78
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,589
address council?

79
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:49,120
All right, seeing no members coming

80
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,000
forward, we will move into agenda

81
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,560
additions this evening. We have a

82
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,360
certificate of appreciation to Paul

83
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,360
Jerkowski and this will be presented by

84
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,360
our award for Councilwoman, Miss

85
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:08,309
Pletcher.

86
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:09,760
» Thank you.

87
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,440
Tonight I'm very pleased to have the

88
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,840
opportunity to recognize Paul Jowski

89
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,159
with a certificate of appreciation.

90
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:18,000
Paul's family moved to Townage when he

91
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,080
was a young man and his life does for

92
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,480
many of us. His path eventually took him

93
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,120
away from Townage. But about 20 years

94
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,360
ago, Paul and his wife Lisa returned to

95
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,239
Townage to raise their two children.

96
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:32,560
Earlier this year, Paul received word of

97
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,040
a situation that was taking place that

98
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,680
could directly and negatively affect not

99
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,680
just his neighborhood, but other

100
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,920
neighborhoods around his. He didn't

101
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,239
simply sit back and complain. He took

102
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:47,120
action. He put on his walking shoes and

103
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,159
went door todo providing information to

104
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:52,720
many residents, many of who were not

105
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,599
even aware of what was happening. But

106
00:03:55,599 --> 00:03:57,680
tonight isn't specifically about the

107
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,239
situation that was taking place. It is

108
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:03,120
about what Paul's actions demonstrated.

109
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,439
A genuine commitment to his neighbors

110
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:07,280
and to keeping Townage the wonderful

111
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,720
place it is to live. Residents like Paul

112
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,599
remind us that a strong community isn't

113
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:16,079
built solely by its officials or city

114
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:18,479
employees. It is also built by the

115
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:20,560
residents who care enough to get

116
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,320
involved and make a difference in the

117
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,800
lives of their neighbors. His

118
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,720
willingness to step up and help his

119
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,840
neighbors does not go unnoticed. That is

120
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:32,400
exactly the kind of community spirit we

121
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,680
are proud to have here. It is an honor

122
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,840
to present Mr. Jacowski with this

123
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:40,080
certificate of appreciation as a small

124
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:57,990
token of our gratitude.

125
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,120
if you want to show.

126
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:07,350
>> Oh, absolutely.

127
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,759
» All right. Thank you very much.

128
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:11,919
>> I just wanted to give a real quick thank

129
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:15,360
you to everybody here, everybody who's

130
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,800
helped. Mayor Kilway Tracy, um you've

131
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,280
taken your times out of your lives to go

132
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:24,240
talk to city council. Fight's not over

133
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,680
yet. We're continuing to try to get the

134
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,080
resolution that we want. Uh but I

135
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,840
appreciate all you've done for us and

136
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:33,440
for this award this evening. Thank you

137
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,800
very much.

138
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,160
>> And thank you, Paul, for all that you've

139
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,080
done for us. We really appreciate it.

140
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:47,749
>> Thank you.

141
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:48,960
very much for that

142
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,520
recognition, Miss Pletcher. We will move

143
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,600
into reports of administrative officers,

144
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,520
starting with our mayor and director of

145
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,520
public safety, Mayor Co.

146
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,120
>> Thank you very much. Um, I'm going to be

147
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,120
as brief as I can. We're very busy

148
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,199
around city hall. All the departments

149
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:04,880
are working very hard on their operating

150
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,280
budgets. It's a fluid process and I just

151
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,520
want to commend each department for um

152
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,039
really presenting streamlined um

153
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:12,960
budgets. Um thank you you know for all

154
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,840
the work that that is being done. Um so

155
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:17,280
there is going to be a ribbon cutting

156
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:19,120
for the new playground at the Howro

157
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,639
Park. Um so this um new playground went

158
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:24,639
in and the equipment was supplemented by

159
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:26,800
a donation from the Lions family in

160
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,400
memory of their son Matt Lions who

161
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,319
passed away suddenly. And the ribbon

162
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:33,440
cutting is scheduled for September 6th

163
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,280
which is the Sunday of Labor Day weekend

164
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:36,880
and it will be at one o'clock. So, I

165
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,720
would invite all of council um if you

166
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,080
could if you could spare some time, it

167
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,639
would be great to see you there. Um and

168
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:44,800
I also had the opportunity to attend the

169
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,800
convocation for Thomas City Schools.

170
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,360
This convocation is held every year. Um

171
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,960
and it's a time when the teachers all

172
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,479
come together and celebrate each other.

173
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:54,240
They celebrate their anniversaries and

174
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,560
new staff is um is introduced. And I

175
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,319
want to thank Superintendent Wood for

176
00:06:58,319 --> 00:06:59,840
including me in this each and every

177
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:01,440
year. It's a great little event that

178
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,960
they do. Um, again, a reminder,

179
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,919
September 11th, the 25th anniversary of,

180
00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:10,240
um, the attacks on our country, uh, we

181
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,080
will have two ceremonies this year. We

182
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,000
will have the regular ceremony at 8:00

183
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,080
in the morning where our volunteers will

184
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,039
gather and, um, place the candles on the

185
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:20,960
sidewalks in the circle, and there will

186
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,199
be a small convocation um, and ceremony

187
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:25,440
at 9:00. And then we're going to add an

188
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,599

attend that. U quick little update is

193
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,280
our electronic recycling um we have

194
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,440
twice a year it will be October the

195
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,039
10th. So anyone that has electronics

196
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:44,720
they want to get rid of that are stacked

197
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,120
up in their garage um put that date on

198
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,440
your calendar. October 10th at the rec

199
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,840
center from 10:00 a.m. until 2 p.m. And

200
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,599
I want to thank Justin Delaney and his

201
00:07:53,599 --> 00:07:56,240
staff Scott and Max for arranging this

202
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,560
event twice a year. And then if it's

203
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,000
okay with council, I would like to

204
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,720
welcome Chief um Doug Bohan um to the

205
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,879
podium to give council an update on

206
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:07,280
their traffic concerns um involving the

207
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,440
Thomas City School campuses. So if

208
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,639
that's okay, we'll go ahead and use this

209
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:10,879
time.

210
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:12,720
>> Sure. You want to do that now or?

211
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,160
>> Yeah, let's do that now because he does

212
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,360
have some place to go later in the

213
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:15,680
evening.

214
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,240
>> Sure.

215
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,909
>> All right. Thanks. Chief,

216
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:24,080
» thank you. I'll be brief. I just want to

217
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,599
give you an overview of kind of what's

218
00:08:25,599 --> 00:08:28,800
been going on. uh this past week. Uh we

219
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,080
all know that just for the past two

220
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,719
days, it's been K through 12 fully back.

221
00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:35,200
Uh since last Wednesday, it was kind of

222
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,919
an incremental start in in most areas.

223
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:40,719
Uh what goes on on the campuses is the

224
00:08:40,719 --> 00:08:43,120
school's plan and what goes on in the

225
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,680
city streets is our concern. Obviously,

226
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:46,880
uh not that those are mutually

227
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,240
exclusive. We're working with the

228
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,680
schools. We're in constant communication

229
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:51,760
with them as well. any areas that we

230
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,519
have that we feel can be improved by

231
00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:55,120
something going on on campus that would

232
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,279
alleviate traffic on the streets, we're

233
00:08:57,279 --> 00:08:58,720
obviously communicating with them.

234
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,320
They're very amanable and we appreciate

235
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,480
that. But as far as we're concerned from

236
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,080
a public safety standpoint, there are

237
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,360
really three priorities that we're kind

238
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,040
of looking at. One is pedestrian safety.

239
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,360
Uh another is the passage of safety

240
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,360
forces on these streets during these

241
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,880
times to get anywhere in the city to

242
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,320
answer calls. And the third, of course,

243
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,080
is just maintaining commuter traffic

244
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,880
flow. the first week we've seen some

245
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,519
challenges and some adjustments already.

246
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:25,279
Uh I will say that there are still a

247
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:26,640
couple areas of concern that we're

248
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,080
working with the school on. One in

249
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,480
particular is North Monroe uh road at

250
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,640
the high school at student pickup time.

251
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,399
What we're trying to avoid if at all

252
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:36,240
possible, particularly on North Monroe,

253
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,560
but on any street, is the backing up of

254
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:40,399
those vehicles at pickup time onto our

255
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:42,720
roadways. Monroe is particularly

256
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,640
challenging because it's a two-lane road

257
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,560
with no center turn lane, and that's

258
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:48,480
problematic more than probably any other

259
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,680
road. Uh, some things that are good. We

260
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:53,440
know we have traffic that backs up on

261
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,800
East Avenue as well, and I'll I'll

262
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,120
discuss that in a moment. But as far as

263
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,360
pedestrians go, I have had some input

264
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,120
and some questions from the community.

265
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,279
Perhaps you have as well, uh, about

266
00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:05,440
crossing guards at different locations.

267
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,360
And right now, there's the crossing

268
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,120
guard for the school that is at East at

269
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,800
the middle and elementary school campus.

270
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,040
and she's out there by East Avenue.

271
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,120
She's very enthusiastic, does a great

272
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,440
job and we uh we are definitely in

273
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,040
communication with her and providing any

274
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,640
guidance that we can to make that a

275
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,240
little bit more efficient. There's also

276
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,240
an auxiliary officer that is inside that

277
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,079
campus because there's another crosswalk

278
00:10:26,079 --> 00:10:28,320
just south of the superintendent's

279
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,000
office. And they're there to direct

280
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,079
busing as it's egressing while the

281
00:10:32,079 --> 00:10:33,440
parents are coming in. And they're also

282
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,240
there to uh help with the students

283
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,760
because if you go into that campus,

284
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,000
you'll see that there's a sidewalk on

285
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,519
the east side of that road and then

286
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:43,120
students have to cross over that road to

287
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,040
get to the crossing guard inside the

288
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,040
campus. So they they assist with both of

289
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,880
those things.

290
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,120
at East of Monroe. Uh in the morning,

291
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,880
there's very little pedestrian traffic.

292
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,480
I've been out there almost every day.

293
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,399
The two captains have been out there.

294
00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:57,839
Our officers are out there patrolling

295
00:10:57,839 --> 00:10:59,440
the school zones every day. We've had

296
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,360
the drone up in both morning and

297
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,360
afternoon uh monitoring traffic flow

298
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,519
from a bird's eye point of view. I don't

299
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:08,399
see too many commuters or pedestrians

300
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:10,640
crossing there at East and Monroe in the

301
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,560
morning. It is a little bit heavier in

302
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:14,240
the afternoon. That's not to say that

303
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,839
there are a lot, but it is a little bit

304
00:11:15,839 --> 00:11:18,079
heavier. We're fortunate there that we

305
00:11:18,079 --> 00:11:19,760
have a good traffic light. We have a

306
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,160
crosswalk with a a button that can be

307
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,160
used for the computer, the pedestrians,

308
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,600
and they have the crosswalk sign for

309
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,240
pedestrians as well. Haven't noticed any

310
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,640
issues there at this time. We we're a

311
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,200
week in. Uh I will say that the traffic

312
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,880
lights themselves are functioning

313
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,480
properly. You'll know that there are

314
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,560
pressure plates over there on north uh

315
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:40,560
the north side of the elementary and

316
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:42,079
middle school campus as well as East

317
00:11:42,079 --> 00:11:43,600
Avenue.

318
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,519
And so when a vehicle is egressing the

319
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:47,680
campus after student pickup, then

320
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:49,360
they're getting them out of there fairly

321
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,079
quickly. The problem at both campuses is

322
00:11:52,079 --> 00:11:54,800
pretty much more difficult at student

323
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,800
pickup because everyone gets out at one

324
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,200
time. Parents are coming sometimes very

325
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,600
early and there's only so much room on

326
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,160
these campuses that we can store

327
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,240
vehicles uh and they're getting backed

328
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,519
up to East Avenue relatively quickly. To

329
00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:11,760
help with that, we have school staff and

330
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,680
our SRO's internally. They're walking

331
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:15,279
the line. They're having people, you

332
00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:17,120
know, scrunch up a little bit. We're

333
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,720
trying to get things moving. We've

334
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,399
adjusted, the school has adjusted, I

335
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:23,600
should say, how they're uh doing their

336
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,680
internal flow since the original plan at

337
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:26,880
the beginning of the year to help

338
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,880
accommodate for that. It's never going

339
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,079
to be perfect. It's going to be

340
00:12:30,079 --> 00:12:31,279
difficult. And I would just like to

341
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:32,880
remind you and the public as well that

342
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,639
we had these issues when we had busing

343
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:37,040
as well at that campus. Um, student

344
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,639
pickup has always been kind of a problem

345
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:40,000
at the middle school and elementary

346
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,760
school. Um, it's just exacerbated now.

347
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,200
Uh, as far as safety, force,

348
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,959
accessibility, and commuter traffic on

349
00:12:46,959 --> 00:12:48,959
the roadways, you are going to see more

350
00:12:48,959 --> 00:12:50,480
congestion. Of course, you probably sat

351
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,160
in it yourselves. I know that the people

352
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,519
who are watching or listening to this

353
00:12:53,519 --> 00:12:55,120
are probably a little bit frustrated,

354
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,959
too. But I want to say that those lights

355
00:12:56,959 --> 00:12:59,440
at East and Monroe, uh, as well as the

356
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:00,959
light at East and the middle school

357
00:13:00,959 --> 00:13:04,560
complex is functioning as it should. and

358
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:06,720
you will end up sitting on East Avenue,

359
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,120
particularly if you're coming westbound

360
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,959
uh around the rec center and the church

361
00:13:10,959 --> 00:13:13,120
there and you're coming up to the Monroe

362
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,120
uh intersection

363
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,760
in the morning for about I'd say 10 to

364
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,760
20 minutes. We have a lot of congestion

365
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,680
there. You may have to sit through that

366
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:24,079
light two to three cycles, maybe four

367
00:13:24,079 --> 00:13:25,920
depending, but it is flowing. It is

368
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,639
moving. We don't have a gridlock there.

369
00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:29,839
The same can be said at that

370
00:13:29,839 --> 00:13:31,920
intersection in the afternoon, the

371
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,360
opposite way. So when you're coming from

372
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,959
the middle school to Monroe, we're

373
00:13:34,959 --> 00:13:36,480
seeing a lot of a buildup of traffic

374
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,240
there, but it is cycling. It is

375
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,600
functioning. And one of the things that

376
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,040
we're trying to alleviate for people

377
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,320
that are going to be turning north on

378
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,560
Monroe at that time is that congestion

379
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:46,959
at the high school on Monroe. We don't

380
00:13:46,959 --> 00:13:48,480
want people backing up all the way to

381
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,760
the intersection, and that's going to be

382
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,279
problematic. We haven't had that yet,

383
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:53,440
but it's getting close.

384
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,120
We do have some ideas to bring to the

385
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,880
high school uh to hopefully assist with

386
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,959
that traffic during student pickup at

387
00:14:00,959 --> 00:14:02,720
the high school. And uh we'll be having

388
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,440
those discussions very soon.

389
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,720
Like I said that they've made some

390
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,320
internal adjustments at the schools at

391
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,600
the middle school and elementary school

392
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,040
which has assisted. It's still not

393
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,880
perfect. There is a long center turn

394
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,120
lane on East Avenue between the middle

395
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,519
school and Monroe as you know. That's

396
00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:20,560
actually kind of fortunate for us. We do

397
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,160
get a lot of people stacking up there

398
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,920
and they're in there. But what that that

399
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,600
lane does provide even though the people

400
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,120
are stacking up there particularly

401
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,800
around pickup time is it it it opens up

402
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,720
the westbound lane and it opens up the

403
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,320
eastbound lane. So at least our through

404
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:35,839
traffic whether it's commuters or safety

405
00:14:35,839 --> 00:14:39,040
forces can still go both ways there.

406
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,760
My caution is essentially for people to

407
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,920
be of course aware of the increased

408
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,040
pedestrian traffic uh to note that we

409
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,639
are going to have some congestion. the

410
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:50,560
traffic lights are functioning properly,

411
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,320
but things are slower, particularly at

412
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,160
those times. And those times generally

413
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,959
are 7:15 to 7:40 uh at East of Monroe,

414
00:14:58,959 --> 00:15:02,079
predominantly 3:30 to 3:45 also at East

415
00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:04,240
Monroe. Uh and then around the middle

416
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,920
school and elementary campus, we have

417
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,160
some congestion between probably 220 to

418
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,560
225 to 235 and then again at 320 to 325

419
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,360
to about 340. things are a lot slower

420
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,120
the very latter part of the day due to

421
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,360
the fact that your K through four uh

422
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,920
pickup is taking place and they're being

423
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,360
you have to be very cautious about what

424
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,120
car the kids are getting into. So, you

425
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,160
know, your fifth through eighth graders,

426
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,440
they can run out to their parents car,

427
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,399
they know who they are, but the little

428
00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:29,760
ones don't. So, it takes a little bit

429
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,000
longer to do the drop off or the pickup

430
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,519
there.

431
00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:35,199
So, those are some of the internal

432
00:15:35,199 --> 00:15:38,000
adjustments they have had. Uh our SRO's

433
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,680
are on scene. Like I said, they're

434
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,600
walking. We're we're in communication

435
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,959
with the school. Everything seems to be

436
00:15:44,959 --> 00:15:47,360
working as it is supposed to from a

437
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,320
traffic light uh standpoint.

438
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,000
We've had some people who have asked us,

439
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,519
hey, why not have an auxiliary officer

440
00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:55,279
or sworn officer direct traffic at like

441
00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:58,000
East and Monroe or something? And though

442
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,880
I understand that the backup can be very

443
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,720
frustrating. I will say that it's been

444
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,959
my experience in in all these decades

445
00:16:04,959 --> 00:16:06,320
that I've been doing this job that

446
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,320
sometimes when you put someone out there

447
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,160
with a vest and a light or something,

448
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,920
it's more of a distraction to the public

449
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,720
than it can be a help sometimes. And

450
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,360
since things are flowing, albeit slowly,

451
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,800
and we're not having any issues with

452
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,040
pedestrian traffic or dangerous things

453
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,040
going on right now, I'm reluctant to do

454
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,360
that because things are kind of flowing.

455
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,880
I don't want to mess that up, and I

456
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,880
don't want to distract people from what

457
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,959
they should be doing.

458
00:16:30,959 --> 00:16:33,120
No plan is perfect. We're still working

459
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,079
with the schools. Um we knew that we

460
00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:37,759
weren't going to have a perfect plan. We

461
00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:38,800
knew we were going to have to kind of

462
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,480
observe and see what the change was

463
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,399
going to reveal. It's revealed itself to

464
00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:46,160
us and we're adjusting as we go along.

465
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,600
That's kind of where we are right now

466
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,199
after one week. Do you guys have any

467
00:16:49,199 --> 00:16:51,680
questions for me?

468
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,000
>> Um thank you for coming in and giving us

469
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,839
this update. I know um a lot of us have

470
00:16:57,839 --> 00:17:00,399
been um like we can't go to cheer

471
00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:02,160
practice without somebody saying

472
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,319
something to us. So, I appreciate that.

473
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:08,000
Um one note that I had received from a

474
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,839
parent um was when you're coming into

475
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:14,319
the middle school and elementary school

476
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:16,799
campus, it now breaks out into the two

477
00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:20,160
different lines. And

478
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,880
um so in the particular example that

479
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,199
this person gave me was they were going

480
00:17:25,199 --> 00:17:28,319
straight cuz they have a a fourth grader

481
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:31,600
um but the third and below line where

482
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,559
you turn right was full. So the officer

483
00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:38,160
was holding the traffic and her and the

484
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,000
car behind them were both going

485
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,559
straight. So you had like several car

486
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:45,760
lengths of empty space up if you went

487
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,200
straight and they weren't letting them

488
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,120
go through and it was then it just backs

489
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:54,880
up even further on east. So I just

490
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,200
wanted to bring that up because it's an

491
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,880
opportunity, you know, two car lengths

492
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,039
is two car lengths if it if you can get

493
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:03,760
in two extra cars in there and get them

494
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,679
off of east. So I just wanted to bring

495
00:18:05,679 --> 00:18:07,360
that up. I don't have an answer for you

496
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:08,720
right now, but I know we observed that

497
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,080
on the drone and that was something we

498
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,280
were it was almost like a missed

499
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,559
opportunity. You know, you have this

500
00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:14,640
space. Uh so we're going to be working

501
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:15,679
with the school and trying to figure out

502
00:18:15,679 --> 00:18:17,840
how we can do that. You know, um people

503
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,760
are still coming out that middle school

504
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,760
campus, too, so we can't have two lanes

505
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,280
going in. Uh so it's it's challenging.

506
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,240
>> Okay. Thank you,

507
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,559
>> Chief Bohan. I have a question as well.

508
00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:31,120
Um I I'm not dropping any kids off at

509
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:33,120
school right now, but have like for the

510
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:35,679
older kids, have you found like any of

511
00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:39,200
them walking to a location off campus um

512
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,280
and like having their parents pick them

513
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,320
up there?

514
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,120
>> Have you?

515
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:44,559
>> Yeah, great question. So the only thing

516
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:46,320
I've observed from that are there are a

517
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,440
few that are walking from the high

518
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,039
school to the rec center, I think, and

519
00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:51,760
we have seen that. It hasn't been an

520
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,440
incredible amount at this point in time,

521
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,080
but we do see some of it. Yes.

522
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,400
>> Yes.

523
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,320
Uh we also had some officers that were

524
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,160
patrolling back behind Neil in that area

525
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,840
behind the elementary and middle school

526
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,919
and I think they noted three parent cars

527
00:19:05,919 --> 00:19:08,640
back there. That was a problem uh before

528
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,320
we had a lot of complaints. So we are

529
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,880
watching that. So

530
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:13,600
>> thank you.

531
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,760
>> Yes. You're welcome.

532
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,679
that area on North Monroe and East was a

533
00:19:19,679 --> 00:19:21,919
concern and I because I did have parents

534
00:19:21,919 --> 00:19:24,559
ask me about that because their bus did

535
00:19:24,559 --> 00:19:26,880
get cut and it is a walkable area for

536
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,039
them. I think they just ended up they

537
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:30,559
had the ability where they could take

538
00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:32,160
the kids in the morning. It just wasn't

539
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,480
ideal. So, they're just they're driving

540
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,840
and sitting in the line. They didn't

541
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,840
want to risk it. Just made them too

542
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,480
nervous sitting in that intersection. So

543
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,559
it not surprised that it's not as busy

544
00:19:42,559 --> 00:19:44,480
as

545
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,559
you know we may have thought.

546
00:19:46,559 --> 00:19:47,760
>> It's going to be a challenge.

547
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,120
>> Yeah. Thank you for working closely with

548
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:53,039
the school and keeping us updated on it.

549
00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:53,440
>> Of course.

550
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,120
>> It's not fun for anyone. I know.

551
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:56,880
>> No, it isn't. It's not fun for anyone.

552
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,960
That's right. Any other questions?

553
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,480
>> Okay. Thank you guys very much, ma'am.

554
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:00,720
Thank you.

555
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,200
>> Thank you, Chief.

556
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,880
>> And that concludes my report, unless

557
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,440
anyone has any questions.

558
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,360
>> All right. Thank you very much. And uh

559
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:10,799
thank you again chief for coming in

560
00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:13,360
today. We will move into our update with

561
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:14,880
the director of administration Mr.

562
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,280
Ignazito.

563
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:18,720
>> Good evening everyone and thank you

564
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,559
council president Epstein. Just a brief

565
00:20:20,559 --> 00:20:22,880
update tonight. Um today I had an

566
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,320
opportunity uh to participate uh in the

567
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,280
council's uh daily op visit. daily app

568
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,640
visit at the public service center um

569
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,640
with uh council uh member uh Pletcher

570
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,679
and comp council member Roy. And uh if

571
00:20:39,679 --> 00:20:41,280
there's any council members who haven't

572
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,200
participated, I would just highly

573
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,280
recommend it. I have not uh been down

574
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,360
there and gone through a tour of the

575
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:49,200
facility and review their daily ops in

576
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,400
quite some time. Uh and it was uh I'm

577
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,919
glad I had the opportunity to do it. It

578
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:55,280
was enlightening. And one of the things

579
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,400
that I that stood out to me as I was

580
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,640
down there, uh, as a retired Army

581
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,400
officer, one of the big things you

582
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,159
always looked at it when you went and

583
00:21:04,159 --> 00:21:06,799
inspected a unit was a motorpool and

584
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:08,960
their garage. When you look and you go

585
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,280
into our service center and the way our

586
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,520
vehicles are maintained, the way that

587
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,400
center is maintained, how clean that is,

588
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,400
usually in my experience in the military

589
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,200
leads to was the pride in their area,

590
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,440
the pride in the team that they're on,

591
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,440
uh the cohesive teams, and that usually

592
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,200
led to really high quality work. And I

593
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,080
think we see that. So, I want to thank

594
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,720
uh service director Yuri uh and Miss

595
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,120
Ripple for coordinating the event, but

596
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:41,200
uh you know had uh the outstanding job

597
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,960
done by all the teams down there,

598
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,240
especially uh street superintendent Mike

599
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,400
Wagan, uh Rob uh utility superintendent

600
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,240
Rob Neheiser and garage lead uh Ben uh

601
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,159
Newman. It just it was really eye

602
00:21:56,159 --> 00:21:58,320
opening especially during budget budget

603
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,880
season as the mayor mentioned and uh

604
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,480
just to discuss some of the things that

605
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,720
we're talking about current term and in

606
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,000
the long term. So if you haven't done

607
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,919
that highly recommend it. Thank you.

608
00:22:09,919 --> 00:22:12,559
>> All right. Thank you very much. Um next

609
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:15,280
we have economic development. We do have

610
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,600
Scott Harrington with Insight Advisory

611
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,360
Group here to provide us with your

612
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:21,760
quarterly update. I think. Yes. Thank

613
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,000
you, President. Do we have a PowerPoint

614
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:24,640
>> or No.

615
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:25,120
>> No.

616
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:25,440
>> Okay.

617
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,400
>> I hope not. I didn't bring one.

618
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,360
Am I going to give it up?

619
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:31,520
>> Uh, I did provide a detailed written

620
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,520
report earlier this week, so I don't

621
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,799
know if you had a chance to go through

622
00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:37,520
it yet, but please do that. Um, I won't

623
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,039
go through the whole thing here. Um, I

624
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:42,720
did want to start with just a couple

625
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,880
anecdotal things that have happened over

626
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,280
the last 90 days, conversations we've

627
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,559
been having with people. Um, we were

628
00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:52,880
speaking with a a very experienced

629
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,440
business and property owner with a

630
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,240
significant real estate uh portfolio and

631
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,400
they told us they are in no hurry to

632
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,200
sell their building in Telmage and

633
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,440
that's because they see it as a a

634
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,600
developing market that's really going to

635
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,280
just keep going up in value. So, um,

636
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,640
while we would love to see them sell it

637
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,000
to somebody tomorrow that would put some

638
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,039
jobs in there, um, they are taking a

639
00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:20,960
longer, uh, longer approach there. And

640
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,120
that's really still in the big picture,

641
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:25,679
um, a very positive sign. This is

642
00:23:25,679 --> 00:23:26,720
somebody who knows what they're talking

643
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,159
about. So, um, he sees the market moving

644
00:23:30,159 --> 00:23:31,600
in a in a good direction here in

645
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,720
Talmage. Um, also had a conversation

646
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,679
with another business owner that I had

647
00:23:37,679 --> 00:23:39,280
worked with previously in a different

648
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,159
community. Um, they were trying very

649
00:23:42,159 --> 00:23:44,640
hard to find something to stay uh in

650
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,919
that community they were in. Um, did an

651
00:23:47,919 --> 00:23:50,880
exhaustive search and they've decided to

652
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,080
expand that. Um, so they called me to

653
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,159
think uh see what I thought and I asked

654
00:23:56,159 --> 00:23:58,559
them what they thought of Talmage and

655
00:23:58,559 --> 00:24:00,880
their direct quote was Talmage would be

656
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,520
perfect for us. So, this is a a great

657
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,320
business. Um, so I think that'd be

658
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,640
perfect for Talage. Also, the bis the

659
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,559
building they're looking for is very

660
00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:14,400
unique and does not exist here. But, um,

661
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,640
there's one

662
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,360
with some work that maybe could do the

663
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:21,760
trick and they also uh theoretically

664
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,080
could do a a new build, which they're kind of sour on right now, but

665
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,559
they had been considering it before. So,

666
00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:30,799
uh, we continue to be diligent with

667
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:34,080
them. Uh, as far as the project

668
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,279
pipeline, um, we had a couple wins last

669
00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:39,760
time. We're going to declare one win.

670
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,880
This time it's three jobs. So, not not a

671
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:48,159
big big number, but, uh, we had nine

672
00:24:48,159 --> 00:24:49,760
uh, leads and projects that we were

673
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,440
working on last time. And just in the

674
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,279
last three months, we're we've added

675
00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:56,000
four. So, um I think the report actually

676
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
says three, but after talking to

677
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,320
Samantha this morning, we've got another

678
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,520
one that could add another employer with

679
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,080
looking for 15 to 20,000 square feet and

680
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,240
was it 40 jobs

681
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,799
in that neighborhood. So, um the

682
00:25:10,799 --> 00:25:13,279
pipeline continues to be strong. All

683
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:16,720
those metrics that we track in far as uh

684
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,520
retaining jobs, creating jobs, and the

685
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,120
square footage that they're looking for,

686
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,919
those are all up from last time.

687
00:25:23,919 --> 00:25:27,440
Um I will point out that that uh over

688
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,799
600,000 square ft of industrial space um

689
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:32,799
that is the demand side of the equation.

690
00:25:32,799 --> 00:25:35,520
So that's what people are looking for.

691
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,400
So theor theoretically if we're able to

692
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,320
close all 13 of those projects and get

693
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,919
them done, that's the amount of square

694
00:25:41,919 --> 00:25:43,679
footage it would take to accommodate

695
00:25:43,679 --> 00:25:48,799
those. There's probably 300 350,000 ft

696
00:25:48,799 --> 00:25:50,559
of industrial space that's available

697
00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:52,960
right now. So just to keep that in

698
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,200
perspective. Um

699
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,360
so we added uh yeah three new expansion

700
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:04,320
uh opportunities with existing employers

701
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,799
in the city. The one that I referenced

702
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:09,679
at the top um which is a a growing

703
00:26:09,679 --> 00:26:11,600
business that would be an attraction

704
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,080
coming from outside the city. I did have

705
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,720
one that I moved from a a project to a

706
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,039
lead. So that a lead is just a project

707
00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:23,840
that is further out, has a longer

708
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,200
timeline or is not as certain to happen.

709
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,600
Um, in this case, they still plan on

710
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,000
doing it. It just has been listed as a

711
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,919
project for a while and has not gotten

712
00:26:33,919 --> 00:26:41,120
any closer. So, uh, I I moved it back to call it a lead just to uh to be fair.

713
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:43,279
But in that case, they've actually also

714
00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:45,840
identified a plan B in terms of the real

715
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,320
estate uh that might solve their problem

716
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,000
for them. and the the second one would

717
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,279
even be better because I think it would

718
00:26:51,279 --> 00:26:55,360
be a win-win uh for the city.

719
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:57,279
Uh with the help of our marketing team

720
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:02,080
at uh Insight, we put together um or we

721
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,159
enhanced the marketing brochures for

722
00:27:04,159 --> 00:27:06,320
five key properties that are in and

723
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,960
around the center of the city. Um their

724
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,039
online presence just was not doing them

725
00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:14,240
justice. So, we uh did some work

726
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,159
including bringing a photographer in to

727
00:27:16,159 --> 00:27:18,720
take pictures, put together a a better-l

728
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,600
looking brochure ad uh information on

729
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,760
the city and the economic development

730
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,919
toolbox locally. Um, so we have a more

731
00:27:27,919 --> 00:27:29,679
uh enticing

732
00:27:29,679 --> 00:27:32,000
digital uh presence for those properties

733
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,919
and we're going to be able to be more uh

734
00:27:33,919 --> 00:27:36,000
aggressive now trying to find some end

735
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,400
users that uh would benefit the city.

736
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,799
And

737
00:27:42,799 --> 00:27:45,120
one more just one last thing uh kind of

738
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:46,480
I should have probably should have put

739
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,320
this with the anecdotes at the top but

740
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,840
we had did have discussions with the

741
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,159
owner of an industrial property that

742
00:27:52,159 --> 00:27:54,000
said they are willing to sell to a

743
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,200
developer if there's a project that is

744
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,200
identified that would advance the vision

745
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,159
of making Talage a more vibrant walkable

746
00:28:02,159 --> 00:28:05,200
city. So there's nothing tangible yet

747
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,000
there um but it is a strategic piece of

748
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,559
property. So, um, that's something that

749
00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:14,000
we'll be, uh, certainly drilling down on

750
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,159
in the next 90 days before we speak

751
00:28:16,159 --> 00:28:18,080
again. So,

752
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:23,200
>> question for you on the West Avenue, the old Rockco skating rink project. I

753
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,640
know that was supposed to be in front of

754
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,480
planning zoning

755
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,600
>> uh next week, but I think it's not on

756
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,919
the agenda. Plan zoning was canceled.

757
00:28:31,919 --> 00:28:33,760
So, that one I think maybe you'll answer

758
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,720
that. Then the A&W, I noticed the sign

759
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,960
came down. Uh people were calling me,

760
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,200
"Oh, it's sold." No, I don't think it's

761
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,480
sold. I

762
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,799
>> I don't I don't think it is either. Um I

763
00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:46,720
think Well,

764
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,799
>> I I can address those in my report.

765
00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:49,919
>> Oh, okay.

766
00:28:49,919 --> 00:28:53,039
>> Yeah, it's I think it's still available.

767
00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:54,080
Yeah.

768
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,440
>> Hey, thank you.

769
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:56,480
>> Thanks for the update.

770
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,200
>> I have a question. Um the last comment

771
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,440
you made about the indust like the

772
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,520
business owner who own the industrial

773
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,360
space, they'd be interested in adding to

774
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,279
it if a if the business was able to help

775
00:29:09,279 --> 00:29:11,360
with Telmage's walkability. Can you

776
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,919
explain that a little bit more, please?

777
00:29:13,919 --> 00:29:16,960
>> Uh well, with the the potential uh the

778
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,720
residential development there and um

779
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,799
potentially some more uh maybe

780
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:25,279
restaurants and things around the circle

781
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:28,159
that would support that. um there might

782
00:29:28,159 --> 00:29:29,600
be an opportunity for something that

783
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,440
would complement

784
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,559
that. Um this was again this is not the

785
00:29:34,559 --> 00:29:36,000
developer, this is the property owner

786
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,520
just saying they would love to see more

787
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,640
uh projects that would help with that um

788
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,870
vision for the city.

789
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,600
» Yeah, sure.

790
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,399
>> Any other questions from council?

791
00:29:52,399 --> 00:29:53,440
All right. Thank you very much for

792
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,830
coming in today, Mr. Harrington.

793
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,880
And we do have our regular um update

794
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,520
with our in-house economic development

795
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,240
with Miss P. Good evening. Thank you.

796
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,200
Yes, happy to share an update. Um so in

797
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,919
addition to the uh state and regional

798
00:30:11,919 --> 00:30:13,760
ongoing professional development

799
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,760
opportunities covering topics including

800
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,000
site development, planning and community

801
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,720
funding. um I continue to participate in

802
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,279
those and as well as uh the Talmage

803
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:24,960
Chamber monthly events including the

804
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,080
August multi-chamber networking event.

805
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,880
As far as Talage businesses go, um we've

806
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,840
had uh several uh recent new business

807
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,559
openings. Um a couple of uh new sole

808
00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:39,520
proprietors in the city on August 7th.

809
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,679
Three Tree City Gaming, which is a hobby

810
00:30:41,679 --> 00:30:44,640
store, opened down on 290 West Avenue.

811
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,039
Um, in addition, MLJ Arcade opened um at

812
00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:52,399
29 Midway Plaza. It is a children's um

813
00:30:52,399 --> 00:30:55,200
uh or youth entertainment center with uh

814
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,320
traditional arcade games, retro arcade

815
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,080
games, video games, and that sort of

816
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,960
thing. And then on August 12th, uh

817
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,360
Milcraft Barnes opened um up at 399 West

818
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,120
Avenue, adding Talagement to its

819
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,159
portfolio of storefront locations in

820
00:31:12,159 --> 00:31:15,279
Northeast Ohio. Um, we conducted four

821
00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:17,279
business retention and expansion visits

822
00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:20,960
in July with 32 to date, which is up

823
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,159
over 6% year-over-year. And that

824
00:31:24,159 --> 00:31:27,200
encompasses year-to- date over 1,500

825
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:31,360
local jobs and over 1.48 million square

826
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,720
foot of business space. Um, and as Scott

827
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,039
alluded to, a lot of these conversations

828
00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:40,559
are where projects or leads or potential

829
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:43,519
opportunities are are born. Um, to

830
00:31:43,519 --> 00:31:46,399
address um, Councilman Klein's

831
00:31:46,399 --> 00:31:50,240
questions, um, at 35 West, I did um, of

832
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,080
course, everyone notices the brokerage

833
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,720
signs are down. Um, I did reach out to

834
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,720
the broker and he advised the property

835
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,120
is off the market for the time being. It

836
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,559
was not sold. So we will stay tuned for

837
00:32:02,559 --> 00:32:05,840
what happens next there. Um and then the

838
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,039
Circle West Avenue development um the

839
00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:10,880
developer has submitted their general

840
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,200
development plan and that came in in

841
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,159
time for um that will be heard at the

842
00:32:16,159 --> 00:32:18,880
public meeting um the plan planning and

843
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:23,919
zoning commission meeting on October 1st. Thank you. So that will be

844
00:32:23,919 --> 00:32:25,919
addressed there and I would encourage

845
00:32:25,919 --> 00:32:28,000
everyone to to come if they're

846
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,320
interested because that will be reviewed

847
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,389
in detail.

848
00:32:34,399 --> 00:32:36,559
And then um I might just expand a little

849
00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:39,120
bit on what Scott was talking about. So

850
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,519
sometimes when uh these properties have

851
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:43,440
been sitting there for some time and we

852
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,760
have the opportunity to get into a

853
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,679
conversation with a property owner,

854
00:32:47,679 --> 00:32:49,440
sometimes they're curious, you know,

855
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:50,720
what would happen if we sell the

856
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,399
property? what would h happen if we hold

857
00:32:52,399 --> 00:32:54,559
on to the property? Are there you know

858
00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:57,200
are there any financial um puts and

859
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,600
takes of doing one thing over another

860
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,399
and um you know we're able to provide

861
00:33:04,399 --> 00:33:06,080
the thought process as to what that

862
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,399
might look like if they were to sell or

863
00:33:08,399 --> 00:33:10,480
if they were to keep the property and

864
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,039
use it for another purpose. And there's

865
00:33:13,039 --> 00:33:15,440
a lot of discussion around adaptive

866
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,039
reuse, if you will, because we know that

867
00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:21,039
more than likely, not to say that it

868
00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:23,120
wouldn't happen, but more than likely a

869
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,039
root beer stand probably won't go into

870
00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:27,600
35 West. It'll probably be something

871
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,720
else. So, um, those are the types of

872
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,320
conversations that we're having without

873
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,159
getting into too much detail, but

874
00:33:36,159 --> 00:33:38,640
hopefully that's helpful. If there's any

875
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,240
other questions, I'd be happy to answer

876
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,760
them. Otherwise, that concludes my

877
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,269
report.

878
00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:48,080
» Any questions from council? All right.

879
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,159
Thank you very much, Miss P. We'll move

880
00:33:50,159 --> 00:33:52,960
into our report with the director of

881
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,600
public service, Mr. Yuri.

882
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,480
>> Good evening. I just have one item. Um,

883
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,399
as I'd mentioned in my report at our

884
00:34:00,399 --> 00:34:03,679
last meeting, uh, the last day of the

885
00:34:03,679 --> 00:34:05,679
pool and our last event was a doggy dip

886
00:34:05,679 --> 00:34:07,919
that was held this last Saturday. It was

887
00:34:07,919 --> 00:34:10,320
very well attended. And I do want to

888
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,040
recognize some work that uh Nick Corano,

889
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,520
our new code and zoning officer, put

890
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,320
into that. Um he's also considered our

891
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,960
storm water specialist. So he put

892
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,200
together the pause for clean water

893
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,159
program and he ended up getting 24 uh

894
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:29,200
people there to commit to the uh

895
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,320
cleaning up of the dog waste and that

896
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,040
will then help us in our MS4

897
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,359
uh report. So, uh, Nick did a really

898
00:34:37,359 --> 00:34:40,079
good job with that and he's he's, uh,

899
00:34:40,079 --> 00:34:42,320
very excited to take projects like that

900
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,399
on. So, it's very good to see, very good

901
00:34:44,399 --> 00:34:49,190
for the community. It's all I have.

902
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,879
» That is super cool. So, thank you for

903
00:34:50,879 --> 00:34:54,480
sharing that. Um, all right. Uh, any

904
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,679

that when we go into executive session

940
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,000
it just runs a little bit smoother at

941
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,640
that point in the meeting.

942
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,480

Next, we have our reports of standing

971
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,359

972
00:37:39,359 --> 00:37:41,520
I will recognize our chair, Mr. Roy,

973
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,359
with planning and zoning to open your

974
00:37:43,359 --> 00:37:43,920
committee.

975
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,520
>> Thank you. I'd like to open up planning

976
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,280
and zoning. The planning and zoning

977
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,320
committee deals with land use, zoning,

978
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,720
conditional uses, planning, economic and

979
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:54,880
community development, and public

980
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,200
property. Tonight, we don't have

981
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,960
anything before us. If anybody else has

982
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,440
anything else,

983
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,520
if not, I will close committee. Thank

984
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:06,800

985
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,880
>> Thank you. I'll recognize council member

986
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,880
Mr. Klene with finance.

987
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,320
>> Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll call the

988
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,240
finance committee to order. Finance

989
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:15,760
committee deals with budget

990
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,839
appropriations, reappropriations, bond,

991
00:38:17,839 --> 00:38:19,280
franchise, investments, and

992
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,680
expenditures. We do have one item at

993
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:26,960
first reading, ordinance 2026-67,

994
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,200
appropriating an additional amount for

995
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,760
the cemetery management software,

996
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,599
reducing the appropriations in the

997
00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:36,400
zoning budget to offset the cost of the

998
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,079
software, and providing for immediate

999
00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:39,920
enactment.

1000
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,400
Mr. Yuri,

1001
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,680
thank you. Um, so our cemetery software,

1002
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,599
we keep track of our records, spaces,

1003
00:38:47,599 --> 00:38:49,760
and stuff is uh fairly old. It's not

1004
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,720
being updated or maintained anymore. Um,

1005
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:55,280
we're starting to see issues from that

1006
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,839
not being updated and maintained. I

1007
00:38:57,839 --> 00:39:00,079
believe it was last week it was down for

1008
00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:03,280
a day for us. So, um, we are in need of

1009
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,760
updating that software as soon as

1010
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,079
possible before we end up losing the

1011
00:39:08,079 --> 00:39:10,880
data that's in there. So, I would also

1012
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,520
ask that, uh, council consider adopting

1013
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,000
this ordinance at first reading as well.

1014
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,599
Anybody? I know the importance of the

1015
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:19,680
software and the for the cemetery and

1016
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,200
will will this new software program

1017
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,960
migrate all the old data from the old

1018
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,599
system that's failing

1019
00:39:29,599 --> 00:39:32,640
>> some of it. Um what this new program

1020
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,560
will do is actually fairly broad. They

1021
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,760
will map the entire cemetery which we

1022
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,280
currently we have paper maps. So they

1023
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,200
will map it and then migrate the data

1024
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,000
that we do have and then go and verify

1025
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,720
what data is missing from stuff in the

1026
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:51,359
cemetery. So this will actually complete

1027
00:39:51,359 --> 00:39:53,040
our records of the cemetery and have it

1028
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:57,510
all in one place.

1029
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,480

1088
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,000
committee deals with parks, recreation,

1089
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,599
civic affairs, and liaison between

1090
00:41:55,599 --> 00:41:57,280
council and the recreation board and

1091
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,040
intergovernmental affairs. Currently,

1092
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,960
there's no pending legislation before

1093
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,200
us. Is there anything that needs to be

1094
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,240
brought before the community issues

1095
00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:08,640
committee hearing? None. I'll close

1096
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,480
committee. Thank you.

1097
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,079
>> Thank you very much. I'll recognize Miss

1098
00:42:12,079 --> 00:42:13,920
Holm with public service.

1099
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,440
>> All right. I'd like to call the public

1100
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,280
service committee to order. The public

1101
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,960
service committee deals with streets,

1102
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,280
highways, sidewalks, buildings, and

1103
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,680
improvements, water, sewer, electricity,

1104
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,800
gas, energy resources, recycling, waste,

1105
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,760
and trash. Um, at first reading, we have

1106
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,560
ordinance 2026-66

1107
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,880
sponsored by Mayor Kilway, authorizing

1108
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:36,560
the city of Talmage to prepare and

1109
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,040
submit an application to participate in

1110
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,119
the Ohio Public Works Commission State

1111
00:42:41,119 --> 00:42:43,200
Capital Improvement and execute

1112
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,440
contracts as required and providing for

1113
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,839
immediate enactment. Um, any comments,

1114
00:42:47,839 --> 00:42:51,839
Mayor Kilway or M? Um this is for uh to

1115
00:42:51,839 --> 00:42:54,240
allow us to submit the application to

1116
00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:57,920
OPWC to obtain funding for the East

1117
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,400
Avenue G Cambrian and Greenbryer

1118
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,200
waterline project. That is actually on

1119
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,680
our list of waterline projects to do

1120
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,680
next year. So we would like to at this

1121
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,000
time submit that through the application

1122
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,640
process. If we do not get it, we will go

1123
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,000
move forward with the project with an

1124
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,599
OWDA loan. if we can score well enough

1125
00:43:17,599 --> 00:43:20,400
on this and get some grant money or an

1126
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,760
OPWC loan, we would would uh like the

1127
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,839
opportunity to do that. So, we will go

1128
00:43:25,839 --> 00:43:27,760
through that process and if we are not

1129
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,000
awarded, we'll still move forward with

1130
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,760
the project, but we felt that it would

1131
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,240
be prudent to try to get this money.

1132
00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:38,160
>> I'll make a motion to adopt 2026-66.

1133
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:39,119
>> Second.

1134
00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:40,960
>> All right. We have a motion from Mr.

1135
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,440
Pavick and a second from Mrs. Epstein.

1136
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,720
Any discussion on the motion?

1137
00:43:46,720 --> 00:43:48,880
Um, all right. Hearing none. Clerk, will

1138
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,000
you please call roll?

1139
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,920
>> Donald Pavick,

00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:52,480
>> yes.

1141
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:53,680
>> Tracy Pletcher,

1142
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:54,079
>> yes.

1143
00:43:54,079 --> 00:43:54,960
>> Ted Roy,

1144
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:55,599
>> yes.

1145
00:43:55,599 --> 00:43:56,720
>> Jonathan Bolus,

1146
00:43:56,720 --> 00:43:57,119
>> yes.

1147
00:43:57,119 --> 00:43:58,240
>> Jessica Epstein,

1148
00:43:58,240 --> 00:43:58,640
>> yes.

1149
00:43:58,640 --> 00:43:59,440
>> Lindseay Holm,

1150
00:43:59,440 --> 00:43:59,920
>> yes.

1151
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:00,720
>> Dave Klein,

1152
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:03,750
>> yes.

1153
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,520
» All right, the ordinance passes with a

1154
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,480
vote of 7 to Z. Um, next we have

1155
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,440
ordinance 2026-69

1156
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:16,240
sponsored by Director of Public Service Jason Yuri and uh, director of

1157
00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:18,720
law Megan Rabber declaring the necessity

1158
00:44:18,720 --> 00:44:21,119
and intention to temporarily appropriate

1159
00:44:21,119 --> 00:44:23,680
certain property interests adjacent to

1160
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,160
or abuing East Avenue for purposes of

1161
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,240
proceeding with the improvement thereof

1162
00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:30,079
and providing for an immediate

1163
00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:32,480
enactment. Um, any comments?

1164
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,400
>> Yes, I'll go ahead and take this one and

1165
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,359
explain it. Um, so this is for the East

1166
00:44:37,359 --> 00:44:39,359
Avenue project. Um, we've been talking

1167
00:44:39,359 --> 00:44:42,160
about for years now. Uh, this is, uh,

1168
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,480
we're at the step in the process where,

1169
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,640
um, we're seeking temporary easements

1170
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,200
from certain property owners that, um,

1171
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,400
have still, uh, not been not signed off

1172
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,000
on what that what that easement

1173
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,319
agreement is. Um, they have been

1174
00:44:56,319 --> 00:44:58,720
previously contacted and we have reached

1175
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:00,480
out with correspondence to them directly

1176
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,560
from my office as well. Um we have had

1177
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,960
uh we actually you have an an amended

1178
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,880
link on there. We've gone from 10

1179
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,640
property owners to eight just because

1180
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,079
we're continuing to try to work with

1181
00:45:12,079 --> 00:45:14,880
them. Um but this allows for the project

1182
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,119
to proceed. Essentially what happens is

1183
00:45:17,119 --> 00:45:20,000
um under the Ohio Revised Code, the city

1184
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,960
is able to initiate the proceedings um

1185
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:24,560
following other steps in the code that

1186
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,280
we will follow. uh we can we can move

1187
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,359
forward with taking these cases to

1188
00:45:29,359 --> 00:45:32,160
probate court and we can um deposit the

1189
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,319
amount of money that we're offering on

1190
00:45:34,319 --> 00:45:37,119
those um appropriations in court and

1191
00:45:37,119 --> 00:45:39,760
then the project is able to continue.

1192
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,000
So, it's an important step for us to be

1193
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,839
able to move forward um for public

1194
00:45:43,839 --> 00:45:45,680
purposes to make sure that we can get

1195
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,319
this roadway done um and it still allows

1196
00:45:48,319 --> 00:45:50,319
people to negotiate. again can still

1197
00:45:50,319 --> 00:45:51,839
resolve. Hopefully, we'll resolve with

1198
00:45:51,839 --> 00:45:54,720
most of these folks, but um it's a

1199
00:45:54,720 --> 00:45:56,960
matter of timing and we're getting into

1200
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,880
a colder season and we want to make sure

1201
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,720
we can still move forward with um

1202
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:02,480
whatever is needs to be done in the

1203
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,599
project um timing wise. So, I'm asking

1204
00:46:05,599 --> 00:46:07,040
for first reading adoption of this

1205
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:08,000
tonight.

1206
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,520
>> I'd move to adopt ordinance 2026-69

1207
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:12,800
at first reading.

1208
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,400
>> I'll second it.

1209
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,240
>> All right. We have a motion from Mr.

1210
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:18,400
Klene and a second from Mr. Roy. Is

1211
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:19,680
there any discussion?

1212
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,520
>> Just for the record, this is a normal

1213
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,400
process that we've done on all the ODOT

1214
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,880
projects or the state projects. It

1215
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,520
follows the procedure and the property

1216
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,520
owner still has the opportunity to sign

1217
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:35,040
off prior to going to the probates, but

1218
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,680
uh they will be made whole during the

1219
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,200
process.

1220
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:43,359
>> Question, when were these first these

1221
00:46:43,359 --> 00:46:45,920
individuals were originally contacted?

1222
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,319
>> Uh months ago. So we have we so ODOT

1223
00:46:48,319 --> 00:46:49,280
defined months

1224
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:50,960
>> I I don't have the exact date.

1225
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:51,760
>> Um I believe

1226
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,000
>> we've started this process like early in

1227
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,040
January of this year. It's been

1228
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,000
>> a long time.

1229
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,680
>> Okay.

1230
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,760
>> What was the original is the original

1231
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:06,000
deadline um like right around

1232
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Labor Day

1233
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,920
for them to

1234
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,400
>> before we go to we file.

1235
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,599
>> We we're we're being driven by ODOT.

1236
00:47:15,599 --> 00:47:17,760
like this is an ODOT project. So my

1237
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,280
understanding is that they need to be

1238
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:20,720
able to proceed with next steps. We need

1239
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:22,880
to get this done by October, like

1240
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,839
October 1. So we need to move this

1241
00:47:25,839 --> 00:47:28,240
along. So this is going to be moved

1242
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:29,599
along. And again, that doesn't mean that

1243
00:47:29,599 --> 00:47:31,359
we can't resolve with people. We just

1244
00:47:31,359 --> 00:47:32,480
need to keep moving.

1245
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,200
>> Do do we know the reasons why these

1246
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,440
eight are out here? I mean, I know one,

1247
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,520
but is it monetary? Is it

1248
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,920
>> It depends. It's case by case. So each

1249
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,160
one is different. We we've been trying

1250
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,800
to reach out directly. My office,

1251
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,800
>> the way that this works through the ODOT

1252
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,640
projects is that we have a third party

1253
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,880
that actually does the negotiations and

1254
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,240
so they have been handling the

1255
00:47:54,240 --> 00:47:56,240
negotiations up until just recently.

1256
00:47:56,240 --> 00:47:58,000
Then they hand the files over to my

1257
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,400
office and my office has been has sent

1258
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,880
correspondents to all of these parties

1259
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,040
and then we are initiating conversations

1260
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:08,160
with as many as we can prior to filing.

1261
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,280
But but we are we are just getting these

1262
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,839
files here from um the contractor who'd

1263
00:48:13,839 --> 00:48:15,440
been negotiating these easements.

1264
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:16,960
>> So do we know

1265
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,920
>> what the Poland communicates with the

1266
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,720
service department on a regular basis on

1267
00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:25,599
each of these parcels if the if

1268
00:48:25,599 --> 00:48:27,680
somebody's requesting something if we're

1269
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,160
agreeable to it and those things. So

1270
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,160
those conversations have been happening

1271
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,319
all summer and spring long.

1272
00:48:36,319 --> 00:48:38,880
Um, some of them I know for a fact have

1273
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,680
just not responded to any of the the

1274
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,760
communication. So, they all have

1275
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,599
different reasons. Um,

1276
00:48:47,599 --> 00:48:49,760
and it I'm sure if you got with the

1277
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,920
service department with Helaine, she's

1278
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,520
been the head person on this, she could,

1279
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,839
you know, provide you with more

1280
00:48:57,839 --> 00:48:59,359
information

1281
00:48:59,359 --> 00:49:01,440
on any of them. But we're in constant

1282
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,640
contact with O colon about what people

1283
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,400
are requesting, what modifications they

1284
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,400
want, can we approve it, can we not? Is

1285
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,839
it within the allowable amount that can

1286
00:49:11,839 --> 00:49:14,800
be paid? All those are ongoing

1287
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,359
conversations.

1288
00:49:17,359 --> 00:49:19,280
>> I just go ahead.

1289
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,960
>> I was just a follow-up question. Um

1290
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,839
the process like if they're asking for

1291
00:49:25,839 --> 00:49:27,200
something like can you walk me through

1292
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,760
like the the process of decisioning? So

1293
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,440
like is it it we take that um suggestion

1294
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,000
from the homeowner and then are we

1295
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,680
working with ODOT? Are we working with

1296
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:38,240
OC?

1297
00:49:38,240 --> 00:49:41,200
>> We're are working with OC. OC knows the

1298
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,280
appraisals, the values. We work with the

1299
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,920
appraiser who appraised the property.

1300
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,160
The the things that they ask for have

1301
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,400
monetary values that are placed on them

1302
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,480
like trees, certain type of trees are

1303
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,480
worth this, this that and the other. So

1304
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,640
there's there's an ongoing conversation

1305
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,319
and then depending on what are they

1306
00:49:58,319 --> 00:50:00,720
asking for, what would the cost of us

1307
00:50:00,720 --> 00:50:06,480
taking them to appropriation be, it it's a it's a back and forth that occurs

1308
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,520
and each property is a unique back and

1309
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:10,160
forth.

1310
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,000
>> And then who's the who's the decision

1311
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,440
maker?

1312
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,520
>> So because this is an ODOT project, it's

1313
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,160
partly them. So we it's kind of a joint

1314
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,880
effort. So it's a communication

1315
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,280
>> and a joint effort. But every project

1316
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,839
I've ever done with the ODOT, we had to

1317
00:50:25,839 --> 00:50:27,760
do that. And I would always go out and

1318
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,160
talk to the homeowners. And as Molly

1319
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,480
said, it's either they want to save this

1320
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,480
tree, so can you move the sidewalk this

1321
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,119
way? Or I want my driveway approach to

1322
00:50:37,119 --> 00:50:40,559
go two foot wider. Would you allow that?

1323
00:50:40,559 --> 00:50:43,280
U so it was really it's a negotiation

1324
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,640
back and forth, but it was that was big

1325
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,079
part of the whole projects.

1326
00:50:48,079 --> 00:50:50,640
>> So Mayor Kilway, have you talked to

1327
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,119
these owners?

1328
00:50:53,119 --> 00:50:54,880
Mayor Kellway hasn't been involved yet.

1329
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,440
Again, we just got the files. We got the

1330
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:01,359
files back from O colon right before

1331
00:51:01,359 --> 00:51:03,200
they said, "Oh, we need you guys to keep

1332
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:04,400
this moving and we need these

1333
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,400
deadlines." So, she's not had an

1334
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:07,200
opportunity to do that.

1335
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:08,960
>> I mean, I just to get perspective, we

1336
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,280
were talking to hundreds of property

1337
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,839
owners and we're down to eight. So, I

1338
00:51:13,839 --> 00:51:15,920
mean,

1339
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:16,960
it's good.

1340
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,359
>> Yeah.

1341
00:51:19,359 --> 00:51:21,280
Sorry. And of those eight, some of them

1342
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,000
just you have they have not engaged.

1343
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,359
>> There are some that have just not

1344
00:51:25,359 --> 00:51:27,040
engaged. They don't respond to the phone

1345
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:28,400
call. They don't respond to an email.

1346
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,000
They don't respond to a letter. Like

1347
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,200
they just don't there's those people.

1348
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,000
There's people that what they want can't

1349
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,440
be done or isn't reasonable. There

1350
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,040
there's again

1351
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,839
>> each case is a different scenario here.

1352
00:51:43,839 --> 00:51:46,079
I can't give you all of them, but that

1353
00:51:46,079 --> 00:51:49,359
it is all documented

1354
00:51:49,359 --> 00:51:51,920
as to why there has been no settlement

1355
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:56,400
with these property owners

1356
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,520
>> and then they still so if this were to

1357
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,440
pass then they still have an opportunity

1358
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,440
to settle up.

1359
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:04,000
>> Yeah. Yeah.

1360
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:04,400
>> Correct.

1361
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:05,359
>> Yes.

1362
00:52:05,359 --> 00:52:07,359
>> For a short for a short period of time

1363
00:52:07,359 --> 00:52:09,119
then it goes through the court process

1364
00:52:09,119 --> 00:52:10,559
and even then we can still reach

1365
00:52:10,559 --> 00:52:12,319
settlements with people but it has to

1366
00:52:12,319 --> 00:52:13,920
continue down that process. so that we

1367
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:15,839
continue to be able to move.

1368
00:52:15,839 --> 00:52:17,280
>> They can negotiate up until the court

1369
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:18,880
date.

1370
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,800
>> I mean, even once the even with the even

1371
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,200
once the court paperwork is filed, you

1372
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:24,640
still have we still have an opportunity

1373
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,359
to resolve. It just cost us the money of

1374
00:52:27,359 --> 00:52:29,440
the additional funds of now we have to

1375
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,280
go through a court process and it costs

1376
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,920
them, you know, whatever position they

1377
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:38,390
want to take on it as well. them.

1378
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,079
» I would like to know because most of

1379
00:52:40,079 --> 00:52:43,119
these, if not all, are in my ward.

1380
00:52:43,119 --> 00:52:45,760
So, I know I've been in contact with

1381
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,960
one. I called one today and they're not

1382
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,440
on here anymore. So, you know, it was

1383
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,599
just because they just didn't get to the

1384
00:52:53,599 --> 00:52:55,599
paperwork. So, if it's something like

1385
00:52:55,599 --> 00:52:59,440
that, you know, we clear this up to get

1386
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,920
from 8 to six or five. Um but I'd le to

1387
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,480
like to know what the issues are because

1388
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:10,079
one's not monetary. One is you know

1389
00:53:10,079 --> 00:53:13,440
>> well again well everything

1390
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,079
>> even expanding a driveway etc et is

1391
00:53:16,079 --> 00:53:19,200
monetary it it translates to it's just

1392
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,280
whether it's an inind or if it's

1393
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,359
>> I I understand it's it's a cost

1394
00:53:23,359 --> 00:53:23,920
adjustment.

1395
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,839
>> It's a cost adjustment. So all that

1396
00:53:25,839 --> 00:53:27,359
again all those things have to be taken

1397
00:53:27,359 --> 00:53:29,920
in consideration but yes I'd be happy to

1398
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,079
>> what I what I mean by monetary is you'll

1399
00:53:32,079 --> 00:53:34,960
get a price and then someone you know

1400
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,480
there'll be an appraised value and

1401
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,960
they'll have the comps in there of how

1402
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,200
they can derive that value. when I mean

1403
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,520
my monetaries people sometimes say no

1404
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,760
it's worth more than what you know

1405
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,319
you're stating right so that's the main

1406
00:53:48,319 --> 00:53:50,960
thing I wanted to make sure if any of

1407
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,480
those were th those issues

1408
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,559
>> and even if they are then we still we

1409
00:53:56,559 --> 00:53:58,240
still need to pro we we still have to

1410
00:53:58,240 --> 00:53:59,520
proceed through the appropriate process

1411
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,280
so but I'm be happy to talk with you

1412
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,440
