1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Even just the idea to ask, "Hey, it's

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,760
coming into summer, you know, how's it

3
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,520
how how are we looking out there,

4
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:06,920
right?" I mean, if there we could go

5
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,040
that broad if we chose to do so under

6
00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:12,640
the other term. Um and that way the

7
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,000
expectation would be that we'd cover

8
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,520
Flock cameras. The expectation would be

9
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,960
we cover school resource officer. Um but

10
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,360
it does open us up for a little bit more

11
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,590
broad discussion.

12
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,120
Yes.

13
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,000
>> We will also be discussing sometime in

14
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,920
the near future

15
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,920
e-bike regulations.

16
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:31,400
>> Okay.

17
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:32,480
>> That's pretty timely.

18
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:34,760
>> Mhm. Good. Okay.

19
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:35,960
>> Oh, that would be good. Yeah.

20
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,280
>> All right. And then the last one is to

21
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,000
make the appointment to Shade Tree

22
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,960
Advisory Committee.

23
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,400
Are we pointing Mr. Morris?

24
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,080
>> Are they here tonight?

25
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,040
>> No, they weren't coming.

26
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,430
>> Okay.

27
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,120
» Is that the way

28
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,640
>> to invite them? I mean, it's

29
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,080
I just kind of put it out there because

30
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,840
it's been kind of hanging out there for

31
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,760
two I think 2 months now. So.

32
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,760
>> Yeah, um I mean, I could make a

33
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,640
selection based off of just their

34
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:04,720
letters of interest.

35
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,480
>> Yeah, I think I could too.

36
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,120
>> Okay.

37
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:07,880
>> Yeah.

38
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,640
>> Okay.

39
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,320
>> And then also um just wanted to clarify

40
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:16,520
about the resolution number 11 and 12.

41
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,800
Are we discussing both of those on June

42
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,760
8th? Um that question is directed

43
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,200
towards Director Pay.

44
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,600
Um

45
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,640
That's okay.

46
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,440
>> What is the

47
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,600
>> Uh resolution uh

48
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,920
12 and 11, 26 11 and 26 12. Are we

49
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,760
discussing those on June 8th, both of

50
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,040
them or just one?

51
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,480
>> I think it's just the one attorney.

52
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,760
>> Just the one, just the tax budget. I

53
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,280
think the

54
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,400
We discussed

55
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,000
11

56
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,560
>> Okay. So, just the tax budget.

57
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:45,840
>> the one.

58
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,280
>> Yeah. And it's I'll just

59
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:47,520
>> Okay.

60
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,520
>> have that agenda at the actual tax

61
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,120
budget

62
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,400
submitted

63
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,320
so the council can look at it.

64
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,280
>> Okay. All right, cool. Thank you for

65
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,590
that clarification.

66
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,120
» All right. Anything for round table,

67
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:02,920
Pat?

68
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,000
>> Uh nothing tonight.

69
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,920
>> Phil?

70
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:05,640
>> Nothing.

71
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,240
>> Troy?

72
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,720
>> Uh nothing tonight. Thank you.

73
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,360
>> Sarah?

74
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,240
>> Uh thank you. The only question I had is

75
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,720
regarding 2/10 construction. Do we have

76
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,360
an I and I I recognize it's June 1st. We

77
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,600
said it would start June 1st. I'm not

78
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,600
implying that we're not. I just wondered

79
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,160
if there was any update leading into as

80
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,720
we get started that we should all be

81
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,600
aware of.

82
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,840
>> Yeah, so Gioga

83
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:26,760
Am I supposed to be on a microphone

84
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,120
right now? Um

85
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,320
so, Gioga has told us that the

86
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,280
subcontractor that's helping them do the

87
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,720
work is delayed a week, so

88
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,280
they'll be starting construction on the 8th.

89
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,360
They're going to put out signs this

90
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,400
week.

91
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,560
>> Okay. All right. Um and then I saw that

92
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,000
there was a post

93
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,959
um with the detour. So, if we can all

94
00:02:47,959 --> 00:02:49,640
circulate that detour, obviously the

95
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:51,800
signs will be helpful for that.

96
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,040
Um and the other thing that I saw is

97
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,680
that we are looking to do the sealing

98
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,959
midweek this week, the street sealing

99
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:01,080
for um all of the I think it's

100
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,519
Chanteclair 227, 226, Haber, Sycamore.

101
00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:06,480
Um if we can get the word out, I think

102
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,519
the most important thing is if you're

103
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:09,720
parked on the street, your car may get

104
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,200
towed.

105
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,280
>> Yeah, so Fabrizi is putting Fabrizi is

106
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,120
the one doing the work.

107
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:13,640
>> No.

108
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:14,920
>> Not on that one.

109
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:16,720
That's Pavement Technology.

110
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,800
>> Pavement Technology.

111
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,280
Go ahead. They're They're putting door

112
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:21,840
hangers out.

113
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,360
>> Yeah, they'll be putting door hangers

114
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,640
out on all all all the streets.

115
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:26,320
>> Perfect.

116
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,680
>> this week cuz that's the question I've

117
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:28,400
been getting.

118
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,000
>> Um they they are starting on Wednesday.

119
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,120
>> So, it is this Wednesday?

120
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:33,680
>> Yeah, exactly.

121
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,720
>> Okay, so what we put out was correct.

122
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,160
>> Yeah.

123
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,720
>> Will they be doing um

124
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,800
tree lawn signs as well

125
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,880
in addition to the door hangers?

126
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,080
Cuz not everybody that parks on the

127
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,800
street is a resident, so So, in order

128
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,440
for this to work correctly, there does

129
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,760
have to be a minimum of speed on the

130
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,280
street, right, Kim?

131
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,640
>> Yeah, 5 mph.

132
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,680
>> So, they should have signs, right?

133
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,000
>> They should have some sort of signs,

134
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,160
yeah.

135
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,840
And it's only for a couple of hours

136
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,360
after it's after it's installed. I don't

137
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,640
think they were planning on putting up

138
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,240
no parking signs on the street.

139
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:07,920
>> Okay.

140
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:08,880
>> I think they were just going to do it at

141
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,880
the door, I guess.

142
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,480
>> How long's it take to install or

143
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,360
complete a day?

144
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,400
>> day and a half to do all of the streets

145
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:16,560

146
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,320
>> Cool.

147
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,670
>> is on the list, like 10 streets.

148
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,160
» Okay.

149
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:22,720
>> Thank you.

150
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,000
>> Thanks. Exciting to get some

151
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,600
construction projects moving. Thanks.

152
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,800
Rick, anything for round table?

153
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,640
>> No, ma'am.

>> Okay.

157
00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:33,520
Oh.

158
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,320
That was Clark.

159
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,150
>> All right.

160
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,360
» Back to the top of my thing.

161
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,110
You ready?

162
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,000

>> Okay.

194
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,800
>> We will now have reports from their

196
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,800
>> Thank you, Council President.

197
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:48,760
Um

198
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,440
Stand by just a moment.

199
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,190
Hold up the wrong report.

200
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,280
Uh the Environment, Public Works,

201
00:05:58,280 --> 00:05:59,440
Planning, Zoning, and Development

202
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,680
Committee met May 26th at 7:29. All

203
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,200
members were in attendance as well as

204
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,880
Mayor Schneider and Directors Pay,

205
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,200
Hitch, and Dever. Also in attendance

206
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,920
were Megan Otter and Henry Chaski. Three

207
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,000
items were on the agenda. Ordinance

208
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,760
26-26

209
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,200
authorizing requests for RFPs for design

210
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,880
services for the Lorraine Road project.

211
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,919
Ms. Otter explained the city has $1.4

212
00:06:22,919 --> 00:06:25,120
million in CMAX funding to update the

213
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,200
lighting system and $1.8 million for

214
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,720
urban paving.

215
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,560
And this legislation will tie those

216
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,680
design elements together to begin the

217
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,360
process of improving Lorraine Road. This

218
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,720
design will move daily traffic as well

219
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,680
as emergency services more efficiently

220
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,040
for improved air quality. This phase of

221
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,800
work, which will be similar to the

222
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,400
ongoing Center Ridge construction, will

223
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,919
integrate with the long-term redesign of

224
00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:52,240
Lorraine Road. Previous studies for the

225
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,880
Lorraine Road corridor yielded different

226
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,640
results, so the city will be moving in a

227
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,720
new direction and a preliminary

228
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,880
engineering study conducted by American

229
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,919
Structure Point will be presented to

230
00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:03,800
Council on June 8th.

231
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,240
This initial phase of construction is

232
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,280
expected to begin in 2028 and continue

233
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:12,000
into 2029. Ms. Mann moved to put the

234
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,560
ordinance up for second read and return

235
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,040
to committee. The motion passed

236
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,680
unanimously.

237
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,040
Ordinance 26-27 authorizing a

238
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,760
cooperative service agreement with the

239
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,200
APHIS Wildlife Services for deer

240
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,040
management.

241
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,720
This agreement would authorize the city

242
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,240
to contract for services under this USDA

243
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,360
program to cull up to 100 deer beginning

244
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,080
in October 2026 through March 2027. Mr.

245
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,800
Chaski explained that the USDA was the

246
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,480
only responsive contractor. He said the

247
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,840
USDA used heat mapping to estimate our

248
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,880
herd size as at a minimum of 25.8 deer

249
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,520
per square mile. The agency will work

250
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,160
with the Division of Wildlife to create

251
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,440
our deer management plan, including

252
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,240
designating bait and shoot sites,

253
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,000
locating a central processing site in

254
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,400
the city, and plans for disposal of the

255
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,120
deer. If the city donates the meat to

256
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,480
the Cleveland Food Bank, there will be

257
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,720
additional expense for processing.

258
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,360
Legislation permitting hunting in the

259
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,160
city will have to be passed proceed with

260
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,160
a program. Ms. Wearing asked if there

261
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,960
was a if there was leeway to cull more

262
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,600
than 100 deer if necessary. Mr. Chasky

263
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,480
said the city will continue to monitor

264
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,720
deer interactions and surveys of herd

265
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,040
size to determine the effectiveness of

266
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,440
the program. Ms. Mann moved to place the

267
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,200
ordinance up for second subsequent third

268
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,160
reading. The motion passed unanimously.

269
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,560
Resolution 26-08

270
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:34,599
prohibiting construction of a salt dome

271
00:08:34,599 --> 00:08:37,960
or fuel tank at 22100 Mastick Road. The

272
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,719
property in question was not purchased

273
00:08:39,719 --> 00:08:41,479
so Ms. Mann moved that this legislation

274
00:08:41,479 --> 00:08:43,599
be removed and tabled from further

275
00:08:43,599 --> 00:08:45,720
consideration. The motion passed

276
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,560
unanimously. The meeting adjourned at

277
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:50,520

00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,040
typically last 10 to 15 years. This

376
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,800
ordinance was placed on second and

377
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,000
subsequent third read and passed 7 to 0.

378
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,960
Ordinance 2634 authorizing owner's rep

379
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:02,839
for the fire department coed facilities.

380
00:13:02,839 --> 00:13:04,800
Chief Ruffin was present to answer

381
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,839
questions. He stated that this was an

382
00:13:07,839 --> 00:13:09,240
urgency

383
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,400
because the fire station needs coed

384
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,880
facilities and that he is very

385
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,720
comfortable with Arnie Warner doing the

386
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,839
project. Councilwoman Waring asked if

387
00:13:18,839 --> 00:13:20,839
this was a conflict of interest to have

388
00:13:20,839 --> 00:13:23,360
Obie to have

389
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,480
Arnie Warner as the owner's rep and the

390
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,800
architect for the same project. And

391
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,720
Megan Otter stated that it's a separate

392
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,560
project. It's not part of the city hall

393
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:36,400
project. Um and the coed facilities is

394
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:42,360
the only part of the project that Arnie Warner is um contracted for.

395
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,720
This was placed on second and subsequent

396
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,600

401
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,960
be purchased and were approved in the

402
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,560
budget. They will replace a 2014 GMC

403
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:08,000
truck and two police vehicles. This was

404
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,040
placed on second and subsequent third

405
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,520
read and passed 7 to 0.

406
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,560

ordinance, the changes, and the delays

431

to advance the property taxes by the

432
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,640
state will not impact Fairview Park

433
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,480
because we have reserves in the city

434
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,240

The committee discussed the issue Gemini

454
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,600
Center. Present were members of the Rec

455
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,000
Department including Director Kemp.

456
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,440
gave Council an

457
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,160
operational update and owners

458
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,080
representative Roger Riachi provided

459
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,360
Council a construction update.

460
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,880
Director Kemp indicated that the

461
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,680
Recreation Department is essentially

462
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,200
building an aquatics division from

463
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,800
scratch. As we open the natatorium, it

464
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,520
will be made up of all new staff, new

465
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,240
building structures, new supplies, new

466
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,600
equipment, and new procedures. There is

467
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,000
a lot that needs to be done to make the

468
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000
natatorium operational again over the

469
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,080
next several weeks while construction is

470
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,640
reaching completion.

471
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,400
This work includes training staff on the

472
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,960
pool systems, mechanicals, and

473
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,480
equipment, and training lifeguards. The

474
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,360
city is hoping to hire 50

475
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,200
lifeguards and currently have trained

476
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,240
28. The city must also set up workspaces

477
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,000
and break rooms for the aquatic staff.

478
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,280
Director Kemp wanted to set the

479
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,000
expectation that though the pool will be

480
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,880
opening, that doesn't mean that all

481
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,560
areas of the pool will be open at all

482
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,560
times in the beginning. The number of

483
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,439
areas open will be subject to the amount

484
00:17:12,439 --> 00:17:13,920
of staff that we are able to put in the

485
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,079
facility to maintain and

486
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:18,280
For example, the slide may not be open

487
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,480
at all hours or the children's area may

488
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,000
not be open during the early morning

489
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,319
hours. The goal is to maintain at least

490
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:27,000
two lap lanes at any given time.

491
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,360
In preparation for opening, the

492
00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:29,920
recreation department is working to

493
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,720
maximize the opportunities for birthday

494
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,080
parties, lane rentals, and other

495
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,480
monetization of the natatorium.

496
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,280
Additionally, a membership drive will be

497
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,080
held June 15th through July 15th. Any

498
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,840
new members who join the Gemini Center

499
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,600
during that time will receive two free

500
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,680
months on top of their membership. A

501
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,200
postcard will be sent to residents with

502
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,520
this information.

503
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,280
There will be an opening celebration for

504
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,840
the natatorium. Wave Fest, a three-day

505
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,720
event, will be held June 26th through

506
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,200
29th and will feature a ribbon cutting,

507
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,680
first splash, dive-in movie, and more.

508
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,160
This event will be for residents and

509
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,680
members only.

510
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,320
Once open, Westlake and Rocky River both

511
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,520
have pool rehabilitation projects going

512
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,680
on and will be using the Gemini Center

513
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,200
for reciprocity when it opens up.

514
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,120
As a measure of goodwill, both cities

515
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:16,720
offered memberships to their outdoor

516
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,360
pools to Fairview Park residents this

517
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:20,320
summer. There is a limited number of

518
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,120
memberships available. Westlake has

519
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:24,120
already sold out and Rocky River still

520
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:27,240
has some availability as of this time.

521
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,040
Construction is wrapping up. In the

522
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,880
leisure pool, the new play feature,

523
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,280
slide, and liner have been installed.

524
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,040
The leisure pool is likely to be filled

525
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,760
with water this week to begin further

526
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,320
operational adjustments. The competition

527
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,480
pool has already been filled with water.

528
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,000
The wave room repairs are complete. Tile

529
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,720
is in final completion and final

530
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,800
inspections are being lined up.

00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,040
It is It is expected that the Ohio

532
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,760
Department of Health will do its final

533
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,040
inspection in the next week or so.

534
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,880
Final inspections are the last barrier

535
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,880
before substantial completion.

536
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,720
Construction should be finalized in the

537
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,840

538
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,360
such as operations manuals and as-built

539
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:05,720
drawings, will be completed by the end

540
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:06,800

ordinance 2631 which sets the fee for

548
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,640

first assessed a little more than 15

553
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,640
years ago and identified as a quote one

554
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,720

00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:15,400
>> Yes.

936
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,120
>> Mrs. King.

937
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:16,920
>> Yes.

938
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:17,720
>> Mrs. Wearing.

939
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:18,520
>> Yes.

940
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:19,280
>> Mr. O'Reilly.

941
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,320
>> Yes.

942
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:21,240
>> Mrs. Man.

943
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:22,280
>> Yes.

944
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,280
>> Motion carries.

945
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,560
Councilwoman Greenfield.

946
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,720
>> Uh thank you, Council President. I move

947
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,520
to dispense with Council Rule 53

948
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,160
requiring referral to committee.

949
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,640
>> So moved. Is there a second?

950
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:36,480
>> Second.

951
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,600
>> Any discussion?

952
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:39,960
Will the clerk please call roll on the

953
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,080
motion?

954
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:41,920
Mr. Lane.

955
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:42,960
>> Yes.

956
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:43,760
>> Mr. Minnick.

957
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:44,720
>> Yes.

958
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,880
>> Ms. Greenfield.

959
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:46,680
>> Yes.

960
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:47,480
>> Mrs. King.

961
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:48,360
>> Yes.

962
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,200
>> Mrs. Wearing.

963
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,240
>> Yes.

964
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,000
>> Mr. O'Reilly.

965
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:51,880
>> Yes.

966
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:52,760
>> Mrs. Man.

967
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:53,560
>> Yes.

968
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,320
>> Motion passes.

969
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,160
Is there any further discussion prior to

970
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,240
passage?

971
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,160
>> Council President.

972
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,280
>> Yes.

973
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,080
>> Um so, I noticed that we still had

974
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,480
didn't have a price associated with this

975
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,879
purchase. Are we confident that there's

976
00:34:08,879 --> 00:34:10,600
room in the budget

977
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,000
for whatever cost it's going to come in

978
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,000
at?

979
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,200
>> Director Pay.

980
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,480
>> Okay, thank you.

981
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,280
>> Thank you.

982
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:21,200
Anyone else?

983
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:21,760
>> If I may.

984
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:22,280
>> Mhm.

985
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,000
>> I think you given that this has not been

986
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,919
referred to committee, could we please

987
00:34:25,919 --> 00:34:27,040
get an understanding from the

988
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,679
administration

989
00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:30,760
um and I do recognize this is something

990
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,360
that we do every year.

991
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,760
Uh but just for the record, what this is

992
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,790
and why we're passing it on emergency.

993
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:39,600
» If I may.

994
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:40,280
>> Yes, please. Thank you.

995
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,240
>> Um

996
00:34:41,240 --> 00:34:43,679
talking to Director Hitch as well as

997
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:46,919
reviewing the the information, ODOT has

998
00:34:46,919 --> 00:34:50,360
not gotten a firm quote for salt

999
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,600
delivery. So, the timing issue is

1000
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,360
a sense of urgency that we need to be

1001
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,040
part of this cooperative in order for

1002
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:02,600
them to get a more of a firm price as to

1003
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,760
what the cost of salt will be for next

1004
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,240
year. So, it's more of a timing issue

1005
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:09,480
with ODOT as opposed to

1006
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,600
the city putting together a timely

1007
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,070
response.

1008
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,280
» Great. Thank you.

1009
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,840
>> Director Pay, if I may, do you know what

1010
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,760
the dollar amount is that we have

1011
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,440
earmarked for road salt for the coming

1012
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:23,280
year?

1013
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,560
I'm sorry. I

1014
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:25,920
was hoping that

1015
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:32,310
we would have a number.

1016
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,840
» I do not have every number committed to

1017
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:34,280
memory.

1018
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,240
>> I didn't expect you

1019
00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:37,080
>> Um

1020
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,200
you look at the budget document, which

1021
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,760
you always should have in front of you.

1022
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,320
Um I'm just kidding. Let's see. Uh so,

1023
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:51,680
under let's see, salt, we have $120,000

1024
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,400
budgeted and that's

1025
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,640
Usually, we spend around 90.

1026
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:57,920
>> Okay. Thank you.

1027
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,960
Ton of prices in 2025 were under $50 per

1028
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,880
ton. We're asking for 2,000, so it would

1029
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,320
be underneath the budgeted amount.

1030
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,400
>> Excellent. Thank you.

1031
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,080
Anything additional?

1032
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,960
All right. Will the clerk please call

1033
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,400
roll on the passage of resolution 2614?

1034
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:17,040
>> Mr. Lang.

1035
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:18,080
>> Yes.

1036
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:18,840
>> Mr. Minnick.

>> Yes.

1048
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:35,790
>> Resolution 2614 passes.

1049
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:36,960
All right.

1050
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,320
Councilwoman Greenfield.

1051
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,600
>> Thank you, Council President. I'd like

1052
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,880
to place Resolution 2610 up for

1053

emergency passage.

1054
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,200

00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,920

long-winded uh statement here about the

1117
00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:21,080
splash pad at the Gemini just so that we

1118
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,400
put this to bed. I know the councilwoman

1119
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,000
wearing has some questions about it.

1120
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,560
I've spoken to other members of council

1121
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,040
and the rec commission about it well

1122
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,800
before construction started and uh want

1123
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,440
to make sure that we

1124
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:34,680
kind of put this to bed for the time

1125
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,350
being.

1126
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,480
As we all know, the splash pad is now

1127
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,920
roughly 20 years old and at the end of

1128
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,760
its operational life.

1129
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,360
It has not been in operation since 2021.

1130
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,480
During the long debate in 2023 on the

1131
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,120
future of the natatorium, it was

1132
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,560
determined that many of the envelope

1133
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,960
environmental issues in the pool area

1134
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,760
were exacerbated by the exit doors

1135
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,000
leading to the splash pad.

1136
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,560
Temperature differences as well as

1137
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,280
chemical imbalances

1138
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:03,680
caused by the regular opening and

1139
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,680
closing of the exterior doors were

1140
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:06,760
mentioned.

1141
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,800
To date, I have received no indication

1142
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,320
from reputable and knowledgeable sources

1143
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,000
that any changes in the HVAC system have

1144
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,440
remedied these problems.

1145
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:17,720
When the budget for the natatorium

1146
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:19,800
rebuild was discussed in council and

1147
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,680
then put forward to voters in 2023, an

1148
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,920
exterior door rethink and a remodel of

1149
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,080
the splash pad was not included.

1150
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,360
Hold on. Scroll down.

1151
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,200
Operationally, the original decision to

1152
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,160
allow for patron movement to and from

1153
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,000
the pad and the natatorium was poor.

1154
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,600
It was hard to get to and not very

1155
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,040
functional during the few months of the

1156
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,120
year that it was in operation.

1157
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,960
Entry to the pad area would require a

1158
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,680
separate entrance and exit.

1159
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,240
Operationally, something we are not

1160
00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:51,280
prepared to initiate at this time.

1161
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,480
More so, as construction on the interior

1162
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:54,680
was discussed with our current

1163
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,080
contractors,

1164
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,880
it became apparent that egress points

1165
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,120
for your interior construction

1166
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,000
would demand that heavy machinery drive

1167
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,400
over the splash pad leading to questions

1168
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,280
of pad integrity and eventual repair.

1169
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,120
Any full assessment of pad integrity

1170
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,520
needs to wait until natatorium

1171
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:14,510
construction is complete.

1172
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,760
We know now at this point in time that

1173
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,040
there are that there are several broken

1174
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,160
pipes in the ground owing to either

1175
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,560
construction travel or the 5 years of

1176
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,350
downtime.

1177
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,520
Lastly is the problem of adherence to

1178
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,200
McKenna's Law.

1179
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,320
known also as House Bill

1180
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,520
179, was passed on April 3rd, 2023 by

1181
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,200
the state of Ohio.

1182
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:38,560
It mandates pressure testing and

1183
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,720
velocity control of spray nozzles in all

1184
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:43,440
splash pad recreation areas. It's named

1185
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,080
after a little girl who died after a

1186
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,760
spray nozzle caused irreparable harm to

1187
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,520
her abdomen.

1188
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,480
Our splash pad system at the Gemini was

1189
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:52,880
not designed with the demands of

1190
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,600
McKenna's Law in mind

1191
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,440
and will require lengthy future

1192
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,040
engineering, construction, and

1193
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,880
inspection by the state before opening

1194
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:01,880
again.

1195
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,720
Should have brought water.

1196
00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:05,960
Our number one goal is the success of

1197
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:10,680
the $14.7 million natatorium remodel.

1198
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,240
As I've mentioned in discussions with

1199
00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:13,920
Director Kemp, council members,

1200
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,520
recreation commission members,

1201
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,960
contractors, and residents, we expected

1202
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,200
that the splash pad would not be

1203
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,720
available after construction completion.

1204
00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:23,560
In the future, we hope to reimagine the

1205
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,120
area into a non-water related recreation

1206
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,720
space, such as sand volleyball, bocce

1207
00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:31,000
ball, and even a fireplace patio

1208
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,200
relaxation area.

1209
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,160
If we are to invest in a future splash

1210
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,320
budget,

1211
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,360
splash pad budget, I would suggest

1212
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,480
focusing on the Morton Park splash pad

1213
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:41,680
where the problems presented by the

1214
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,000
natatorium proximity do not exist. We

1215
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,800
cannot afford another environmental

1216
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,840
envelope problem.

1217
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,320
So, to wrap this very lengthy speech up,

1218
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,240
without a budget for a remodel,

1219
00:41:53,240 --> 00:41:55,560
the age of the splash pad, possible

1220
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,320
structural issues from natatorium

1221
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,600
construction, environmental envelope

1222
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,120
problems, state law changes, and

1223
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,160
operational challenges, the splash pad

1224
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,520
at the Gemini will not be open with the

1225
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,200
natatorium this June.

1226
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,880
That's it. That's my report.

1227
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:12,600
>> Great.

1228
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,320
Excellent. Thank you.

1229
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,990
Finance Director Pay.

1230
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,960
Thank you. I have a a lot to report,

1231
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:20,760
too.

1232
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,230
Um

1233
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:26,800
So, there was a uh we have multiple job

1234
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,720
postings. So, um

1235
00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:32,560
go to the city website for more

1236
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,080
information. But, we have labor multiple

1237
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,280
labor positions that are open in both

1238
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:39,720
the service department and the

1239
00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:42,040
recreation department. Uh to date, we've

1240
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,440
had 159 applicants, and we've begun uh

1241
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,640
interviews. So, hopefully we'll start uh

1242
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,520
staffing those departments

1243
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,200
um and to assist with all the the needs

1244
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,720
around the uh community. Uh we also have

1245
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:57,040
had a long-standing open um auto

1246
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,440
mechanic position um open within the

1247
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,000
service department. And with the passage

1248
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,720
um hopefully or the eventual hopefully

1249
00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:06,120
passage of the AFSCME agreement, uh we

1250
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,080
could have a much better wage. Um that

1251
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,360
was part of the uh negotiations uh for

1252
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:12,840
that position.

1253
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,760
Uh we also have um

1254
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,760
police lateral position open. Uh so, we

1255
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:22,480
had one uh police officer who had left

1256
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,800
uh to move to Florida. And we're taking

1257
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,600
applications uh for laterals until June

1258
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,400
12th. And unfortunately, we have an open

1259
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,480
uh property maintenance uh inspector in

1260
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:39,510
for the building department.

1261
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,480
Um we have a change in administra- in

1262
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,840
the administrative uh mayor's area. Um

1263
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,760
Kathleen Fean uh retired and will be

1264
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,840
going to part-time um to assist uh law

1265
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,520
director Dever. Uh Caitlin Fitzgerald,

1266
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,840
who has been a part-time employee um and

1267
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,600
assisting Megan Otter with development

1268
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,920
issues, will now become the executive

1269
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:03,800
assistant to the mayor and continue to

1270
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:08,080
assist uh Megan Otter. And then uh

1271
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,280
Um we have posted a part-time position

1272
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,680
for an administrative support uh for

1273
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,120
service and development, and that

1274
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,800
position will uh assist uh Director

1275
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:18,920
Hitch.

1276
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:19,880
Uh

1277
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,680
in the finance world with auditing. Uh

1278
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,280
oh, excuse me. And then, also part-time

1279
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,280
lifeguards. We need lifeguards. Um so,

1280
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,080
continue to spread the word and uh lots

1281
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,560
of information and about that in

1282
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,080
training and incentives uh because

1283
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:37,720
everyone is hiring lifeguards at this

1284
00:44:37,720 --> 00:44:38,760
time.

1285
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,560
Uh on the finance side of things, the uh

1286
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,160
2025 budget is or excuse me, the audit

1287
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,960
is wrapping up. Uh we finalized our

1288
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,920
annual um

1289
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,720
uh our our basic financial statements

1290
00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:55,280
were filed this evening uh to meet the

1291
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,600
compliance deadline, and we are working

1292
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,120
with uh our auditor and our GAAP

1293
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,800
conversion folks uh for our annual

1294
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,120
comprehensive financial report to get

1295
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:07,560
that done, and hopefully that will be

1296
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,320
done by the end of June. Knock on wood.

1297
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,000
Thank you.

1298
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,200
>> Great. Thank you. Law Director Dever?

1299
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,080
>> Thank you. Just uh two items. Uh it On

1300
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,520
June 4th of 2019, there was a double

1301
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,440
murder down in the Metro Parks. I'm sure

1302
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:22,680
that we are all

1303
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,800
uh recall that Kate Brown and Carnell

1304
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,080
Sledge. That case remains unsolved, and

1305
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,040
uh I know that the families are trying

1306
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,920
to get as much attention to the fact

1307
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,440
that it is unsolved. And if anybody has

1308
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,160
any information to forward that on to

1309
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,440
the Metro Parks because they

1310
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,080
it may be, although you might think it's

1311
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,960
not uh of any relevance, it might be

1312
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,160
helpful.

1313
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,600
And then, the other thing is just to

1314
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,720
cover um

1315
00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:49,520
I've concluded all of the work that I've

1316
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,720
done on the Mastick Road lawsuit, but it

1317
00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:52,880
would be

1318
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,080
um in in investigating that and looking

1319
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:56,760
into that matter, I just wanted to

1320
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,640
address the issue that was an allegation

1321
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,320
concerning the mayor

1322
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,440
as far as making some uh um um

1323
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,680
incorrect statements before the County

1324
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,080
Council. I've looked at that evidence,

1325
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:10,640
and I've also looked at the timeline,

1326
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,760
and I can assure the Council and the

1327
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:13,960
public

1328
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,520
that uh those allegations are untrue,

1329
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,720
and they're not uh supported in any way

1330
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:20,800
by what the evidence is. I will be

1331
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,960
notifying the attorneys who filed that

1332
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,480
lawsuit as to the fact of what I've

1333
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,240
uncovered so that uh we can put that to rest. At the time

1334
00:46:29,240 --> 00:46:30,880
that the mayor appeared before County

1335
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,160
Council and made certain comments

1336
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,720
uh in order to secure that uh that grant

1337
00:46:35,720 --> 00:46:38,000
or transfer the grant to uh the ARPA

1338
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,880
funds for the purchase of Mastick Road,

1339
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,720
uh I believe that he was completely

1340
00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:44,320
truthful. So, I wanted to make sure that

1341
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,320
that's on the record. Thank you.

1342
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,360
>> Excellent. Thank you.

1343
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:54,070
Engineer Kerber?

1344
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,200
» Eventually, I'll get there. Thank you,

1345
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,800
