They were telling me about this 128 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,700 and I was like, what are going to be your limits and they were, you know, they told me they were 129 00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:07,780 going to work right up to City Limits. And I'm like, well, a portion of that 130 00:09:07,780 --> 00:09:13,120 concrete pavement is in Fairborne. Can can I get in on that? Again, can we, you know, 131 00:09:13,220 --> 00:09:19,660 get that taken care of as well. So Jeff put together an agreement in which we would 132 00:09:20,980 --> 00:09:25,880 be joining them in a cost participation in which City of Beaver Creek would still 133 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,320 run this project and handle all aspects of it. 134 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,480 And we would agree to reimbursement. So 135 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:41,460 way it's put together is that we are going to be putting a small cost for the design portion 136 00:09:41,460 --> 00:09:47,940 of the City of Fairborn work. It's about $14,000 which we can accommodate and pay for. 137 00:09:48,060 --> 00:09:53,740 It wasn't budgeted but we can use our other professional services that we have in store to 138 00:09:53,740 --> 00:09:57,900 be able to make this payment that way we covered the design portion this year and then the 139 00:09:57,900 --> 00:09:59,960 construction portion which will be estimated. 140 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,440 And then giving a number, at a later time, we'll be budgeted for next year's budget. 141 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:12,020 We are agreeing to reimburse, so Beaver Creek will cover the cost of construction throughout the contract. 142 00:10:12,340 --> 00:10:15,880 We don't get an invoice from the contractor. We don't get to deal with anything. 143 00:10:17,020 --> 00:10:26,600 And we just pay at the end of the project. The incident end of costs, such as maintenance of traffic, traffic control, stuff that impacts both aspects of the project will be shared. 144 00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:33,600 and that's really it. So it's just going to be a concrete replacement and we have an opportunity here for 145 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:41,400 to work with Beaver Creek in addressing this section of pavement, which isn't very large, but it is in dire need of repair, 146 00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:48,280 and it just makes more sense to have one contractor do all the work, then do their work, and then I'll do our work. 147 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:55,420 and that's really it. We have the agreement already signed by Beer Creek. So this 148 00:10:55,420 --> 00:10:59,900 resolution you know is to recommend that the City Manager can enter into 149 00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:03,160 this agreement.

So again, here's Yellow Springs Road up here where they're looking to 214 00:14:44,260 --> 00:14:52,160 tie in and then they're looking to head down south down x drive and then west down wolf and then 215 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,340 south down Terry. So again, here's the church and they'll be extending it in front of their property. 216 00:14:56,340 --> 00:14:59,400 So this project includes a total of 1700. 217 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:12,260 Feet of Water Main that they're looking to install. And since this is the church that's wanting to do this project and heading it, they will be covering the construction costs, the materials that will all be paid for by the church. 218 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:19,720 The engineering involvement will include inspecting the water main to make sure that it's installed and tested for our specifications. 219 00:15:20,580 --> 00:15:27,020 And then after the installation and the acceptance, we would accept that as fair-born property, so it would be a fair-born water line. 220 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:38,060 So, engineering recommends approving resolution 625 and approving this work would allow us to then sign a pre annexation agreement with the church. 221 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:45,240 So, should the city decide in the future that they want to annex them, they can't really fight that, they would agree to that. 222 00:15:46,180 --> 00:15:49,800 So, and that has to be done before we would allow them to tie in to our infrastructure. 223 00:15:50,540 --> 00:15:52,860 So, with all that said, I'll try to answer any questions. 224 00:15:52,860 --> 00:15:58,740 Okay, we'll start council questions, yes, I don't have any questions.

Yep. Certainly. Okay 234 00:16:32,780 --> 00:16:34,160 All right 235 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,580 There are no further counsel questions 236 00:16:36,580 --> 00:16:41,240 Is there a motion to adopt a resolution 6-25 so moved? 237 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:42,600 Second 238 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:43,960 Not that Julie 239 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:49,500 Okay, please call the roll.

Thank you for our 278 00:19:19,260 --> 00:19:19,940 streets. 279 00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:26,480 Okay, and then I just wanted to follow up on some things I've been 280 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,580 thinking about since the last the distance forum, which that's 281 00:19:30,580 --> 00:19:35,620 topic was the zoning potential zoning restrictions, if we would have 282 00:19:35,620 --> 00:19:37,920 any for marijuana dispensaries. 283 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,300 And there's a couple of things that that 284 00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:46,920 were brought up that I, and I'm just going to list them here, but I'd like I 285 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,040 because I think there's information that I personally feel like I would need more 286 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:56,100 information to make a good decision and I meant to bring this up at the end of the 287 00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:57,700 work session but we're going to have a time. 288 00:19:58,120 --> 00:19:58,880 So, one. 289 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:12,400 I'd like to hear from the, from right-pattery force base and from that cog that we belong to to support it, if they have a stated stance on zoning from marijuana dispensaries, near a skiff. 290 00:20:13,540 --> 00:20:19,800 Because our economic development plan calls for that, if I understand correctly on Kaufman Avenue, we're working towards that. 291 00:20:20,780 --> 00:20:26,240 And would we undermine that plan? That was something that someone brought up at the forum. 292 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:38,060 So I'm interested if we can talk to the cog or a representative from the base and find out if they recommend if they require even some kind of a restriction. 293 00:20:40,620 --> 00:20:50,520 Then concerns were raised about second hand smoke for workers was zero tolerance employers and that would include people with military security clearances. 294 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,540 I was trying to think about that like what could we do and the only thing I could come up with is 295 00:20:56,540 --> 00:21:01,820 could we require special information to be posted in a dispensary just to make people aware. 296 00:21:01,940 --> 00:21:05,620 I mean, nobody wants to, you know, wreck somebody's life, so or most people wouldn't. 297 00:21:06,940 --> 00:21:12,920 So maybe just to have awareness information, I don't even know if that's possible as a council to recommend something like that. 298 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:19,240 Or to require something like that of a dispensary, but that was a concern that I heard that 299 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,080 I think we should, you know, take that into consideration. 300 00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:29,060 And then the last one was concerns related to the health impact of marijuana on kids, 301 00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:35,780 either like them, you know, being around it for secondhand smoke or getting it. 302 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:41,260 So I'm interested in hearing from Green County Public Health on that to hear any suggestions that they 303 00:21:41,260 --> 00:21:45,640 might have or any data that they might have that would affect our decision. 304 00:21:46,940 --> 00:21:54,120 And then I'm also curious if we could work with the county, if the taxes, if any of the taxes are actually going to come back to us, 305 00:21:54,680 --> 00:22:00,620 if there's something we could do specifically with them on a county level, whatever the right level would be. 306 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:09,240 One thing I thought of like, I know gun owners have gun boxes that they lock and are very well protected to keep children away. 307 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,120 I don't know if there's something that we could do that we as a community that we could even 308 00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:18,440 just give away, you know, for people to tell them to lock their stuff up, to keep it away 309 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,500 from kids, to help educate the community on the dangers to children. 310 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:30,920 And then again, as far as the effect on children, that would be different in a person with 311 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:37,880 a developed brain, to just make, is it possible for us to require a dispensary to actually 312 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,800 post that information, just for awareness so that people could understand how their potential 313 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,300 actions could impact other people that they might not be aware of. 314 00:22:46,740 --> 00:22:50,020 So those are just things that have been on my mind since the last citizen's forum. 315 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:57,920 So if we could talk to those organizations, the Cog Green County Public Health, that would 316 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,860 to get some more information, that would be really helpful, and that's all I have. 317 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:03,920 Thank you. 318 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:04,800 Thank you. 319 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:11,270 I do not have any comments for tonight on you. 320 00:23:12,230 --> 00:23:12,710 Beautiful. 321 00:23:15,030 --> 00:23:19,130 I'd like to thank the snow crew, the snow team yesterday. 322 00:23:19,830 --> 00:23:23,550 I don't know about anybody else, but the storm pretty much caught me by surprise. 323 00:23:23,670 --> 00:23:27,710 You know, I wake up and, you know, all of a sudden we've got two or three inches of snow. 324 00:23:28,450 --> 00:23:36,170 I was able to move my, but, you know, thanks to the snow crew, Terry and his team. 325 00:23:36,170 --> 00:23:47,850 I also would like to thank Terry for serving as Assistant City Manager, his time is done and now 326 00:23:47,850 --> 00:23:57,770 Robin gets to helm so Robin congratulations and I say it but you know you guys kind of work 327 00:23:57,770 --> 00:24:05,810 in that capacity anyway, you know your heads or your departments, your leaders on this in this 328 00:24:05,810 --> 00:24:09,810 government.
