Villa myself would attest that your interview was that was fun it was [3:50] great he had some audio visuals from his children anything so that was pretty [3:55] neat yes welcome all right thank you very much all right we're in business [4:05] communications is there anyone who would like to address the council on any topic [4:09] so please step forward and state your name and they address for the record [4:13] please Terry Webster fourteen urns Clift Court [4:18] I'm just here to thank you guys several months ago when I bought the [4:22] idea of a fairness ordinance I was completely unsure how it would be [4:27] received and as a chance just to observe the process I have been terribly [4:33] terribly impressed by mark by your committee and the work that you have [4:38] done Adam and Roger you guys are on that committee too and you've you've helped [4:42] with the city attorney to look at this from all angles and to prove them [4:50] which fits for Thomas very nicely and I don't presume to predict how things will [4:58] work the rest of the night but I want to tell you as a dad [5:02] how much it means to me knowing that my son will have the same rights and [5:07] protections that I do and that's that's what it is for me and for our community [5:14] but once again thank you guys very very much would anyone else like to address [5:19] council friends mere house council my name is Chris Hartman I visited you all [5:30] several months ago now I'm the executive director of the fairness campaign and I [5:34] just wanted to reiterate the thanks sheriff shared with councilmember Bowman [5:41] when I came in I said it used to be a year and a half two years ago I would [5:45] come to a city where they were passing fairness ordinance or considering it and [5:49] we'd show up two hours early and the room would already be full with people [5:54] with very strong opinions on both sides and we're not seeing that any longer [6:00] here in Northern Kentucky especially you all will if you approve the fairness [6:04] ordinance tonight you'll become the fifth city in Northern Kentucky and the [6:08] 17th city in the Commonwealth of Kentucky to pass this type of ordinance [6:14] to protect LGBTQ people in the same way you protect everyone else in your [6:19] community and it will happen with little fanfare and that is the true progress of [6:25] of the way we've seen this movement work and the way that I've seen legislation [6:31] get passed up here in Northern Kentucky I've been incredibly impressed with the [6:35] respectful tone here and in the other cities that we've seen passing these [6:40] ordinances recently and I just want to again extend my mind credible gratitude [6:45] for your all's thoughtfulness for the time that you spent on this to once [6:49] again to councilmember Bowman for bringing it up and to you all for being [6:54] receptive of the conversation again I want to continue to be a resource in any [6:59] way that I can for folks but I'm just happy to be up here to watch you all [7:03] take the vote and hopefully again become the 17th city in the Commonwealth to [7:08] extend these protections that I wish we would have statewide but you all [7:12] hopefully will add to the momentum to get us to that point where we won't just [7:16] have 25% of the Kentucky's population covered but eventually we'll have a [7:21] hundred percent so thank you all very much tonight [7:24] thank you but anyone else like to address council okay put some officers [7:31] city administrators report this bill okay I really don't have a lot to report [7:36] tonight I do have a couple of requests of council [7:40] first I'll report that updating our our IT website selection we've actually had [7:47] some productive meetings with some potential providers to update our take [7:54] over our website as you all know we've we've lost contact with our informatics [8:00] group from NKU so we're looking to fill that gap and we've have found that our [8:05] platform is fine that people can can step in and work within the platform [8:10] that we're in so we're not talking about huge costs to engage somebody in that [8:15] process we think we have a couple of viable candidates and Joe's worked [8:21] really hard with at the staff level working toward that so I think we're in [8:25] a position that will be bringing somebody on board and updating our [8:29] website and doing that work very quickly within the next 30 days so that's good [8:35] news to report a couple of other things with council we've kind of had a little [8:41] bit of conversation I think I brought it up at the last meeting about trying to [8:44] get a joint meeting with the school board we're still working on that so why [8:50] I have everybody here the school board group is available on Monday [8:57] January 20th that is Martin Luther King holiday we've always moved our meetings [9:04] to avoid that but at this point that's the best possible date it's the day [9:09] before when we would have had our regular meeting didn't know if council [9:13] had an ability to make a commitment at this point but I would like to get that [9:17] on the calendar we're having a regular meeting on the following no we will not [9:21] have a meeting on the 24th so this meeting was in lieu of our meeting on [9:24] the 21st what time well we haven't set a time but probably [9:32] in the evening at 6 or 7 o'clock I was what we were looking you know we're [9:37] probably at the facility at 20 grand Oh everything just so council can be in [9:43] that location right and it would be advertised as special meeting and we [9:48] would have a specific agenda obviously as a special meeting I think that might [9:56] be a go thank you awesome the next item is really [10:01] committees that we're going to be asking council to join staff and one is the [10:06] public works committee that meets in January so I originally asked you all to [10:13] hold of me on the 21st in the evenings not sure if you want to do back-to-back [10:17] nights but I do have the Public Works Committee and the Finance Committee that [10:22] I would so if you want to do something that next evening we could just plan to [10:28] do that I'm good public work I mean I don't see you I hold two [10:33] titties are you kidding me yeah the fact that I okay but we don't have a council [10:37] meeting so we'll do it all over four or five thirty somewhere in the late [10:42] afternoon I can confirm the times those are the two committees that we're [10:46] looking to go okay well I'll reach out to Council to confirm those deeds but if [11:16] you're not opposed to Singh on two nights a year or get him done get him [11:20] over here fair enough that's really all I had so I [11:23] thank you does anybody have any questions awesome [11:30] okay discussion of proposed bank redesign study yes as you all have [11:43] probably witnessed some communication from our public regarding the tank [11:48] redesign study that's been in the works for about nine months we've mentioned [11:52] that in the past meetings they're drawing to kind of a close with that [11:57] process and they're conducting public meetings in fact they have one going on [12:00] this evening the local administrators are invited to a meeting specific for [12:07] the city representatives tomorrow which while I [12:11] but they are recommending some changes in in what they're offering in their [12:17] routes and it does affect the city of Fort Thomas routes so I will actually [12:23] get more information about that that's posted online I put it on the agenda [12:27] because there was some potential for it to be a conversation potentially with [12:33] residents coming here so we want to make sure that we were able to discuss it if [12:35] we need it to but it's really a work in progress moving forward we will engage [12:41] at the city leader level and there conducting public meetings for open [12:47] forum and then they hold meetings at the Fiscal Court and just for point of [12:52] reference two years ago we went through a similar process with them where they [12:56] reduced some of the route delivery we participated in those meetings we will [13:02] continue to participate in those meetings ultimately the Fiscal Court [13:06] votes to finance the tank budget through the respective Fiscal Court [13:14] there is a reduction in what they're offering in our community I was I was in [13:18] attendance at today's meeting and I had a discussion with like this and really [13:21] yellow their general manager but compared to what are the last round of [13:30] changes where this is far more drastic I mean it it'll it basically takes for [13:34] Thomas off their mat so anything we can do to advocate for the continuation of [13:41] public service I questioned them about right sizing their vehicles things you [13:45] know as if you don't have the riders and why don't you use a little shuttles and [13:48] he said most of the cost is in the driver of the vehicle on that might be a [13:53] 10% savings are so estimated but for Thomas has basically taken off the map [13:59] so I hope there's something we could do to advocate there was a meeting today at [14:03] the South game South Bank city managers and and the mayor's group met together [14:10] today this morning and this was part of the topic too and one of the things [14:14] they're proposing for the tank is not proposing but a side company to do an [14:19] uber like addition to supplement the buses are taken away the way it's [14:29] being proposed and feel comfortable in it because they were looking for [14:33] additional revenue from the cities to fund this well we already have tax [14:37] revenues funding tanked but the concept of tanked eventually going to an apple [14:43] even saying that is more focused on when ridership is needed it's maybe a [14:48] possibility we had that meeting today there's several other means there's also [14:52] the mayor's camaccounting mayor's is the 26th or 28th whatever that [14:59] Tuesday is of this month and Andy will be at that meeting as well to discuss [15:04] the tanking so at least they're being open-minded and having discussions with [15:08] people in a garage right we have to stay on top of this and I and I've received [15:12] several emails from people about this issue and you know one of the first [15:17] things that's been repeated several times is like the 11 is 11 or not [15:22] supposed to be eliminate completely 16 is still there but at least looking at [15:26] rush hour time and looking at making adjustments to the schedule rather than [15:30] eliminate so yes it's high on the list of what we have to stay on topic to see [15:37] how we can keep services can they talk about specific numbers and costs of [15:48] these routes and you know what I mean they hit a lot of statistics about [15:55] ridership declines and how you know we compared to other cities too and but not [16:03] a lot of other proposals on the table as far as solutions whether that be more [16:08] put into advertising and promoting bus ridership you know other other things [16:13] other than just erasing routes off the map there weren't a lot of other [16:17] alternative form of proposals but yeah there was a lot of statistical analysis [16:21] that was pretty you know presented in a PowerPoint the one they did present it [16:26] is forward-thinking lose the idea Park & [16:30] Ride locations to encourage more use of that and there was a sentence on that [16:34] but you don't have a car that exactly I mean a lot of the census that's using [16:38] the buses as a park and right it's not an option and I unless they move her to [16:41] the park and ride location yeah you know yeah that's not practical I think that [16:45] that drop-off was in in Newport and it's just it's just not there's there's a [16:51] part of our population that utilizes boss that we have to make sure that [16:56] we're doing everything to kind of bring everybody in sure you know it's a really [17:01] tough issue and then we felt it the last time when they reduce service to our [17:05] routes this time there was an actual elimination of that and that's a pretty [17:10] drastic step but it's not surprising in that it's come that far just because of [17:16] the resources that are required to run routes and when you have specific [17:20] convocation the ridership is always the issue if you're not picking people up [17:25] and they're not paying to be transported then you know the return on investment [17:30] of running them there isn't there we've had some more conversations in our [17:35] last come with them two years ago about the size [17:40] of the vehicles and that really is not a huge cost savings for them it's really [17:44] the time spent servicing those area without getting ridership so it's really [17:49] difficult but it's a major step because it eliminates the 11 route completely [17:53] and the 16 route only Energon as far as Sammy's and the Express route on 27 that [18:02] you know touches our city a little bit right but that's it's very minimal in [18:07] terms of what the service was providing for that the way it's presently being [18:11] presented this is all supposed to be on tanks website now to all the proposed [18:15] changes anybody wants to look at it so we will report in the future [18:24] all right discussion of City alcohol beverage regulation um this is a topic [18:30] and mr. pilot asked that we included again because we're in a special meeting [18:33] not putting on an agenda don't know where we want to go with the discussion [18:37] exactly so I'll kind of turn it over the thoughts to you sure you know typically [18:42] I would say that stuffin victory a search committee [18:46] before it comes here this being a simple change and all three too many members [18:50] beat here I'd like to be more proactive on this is that are reactive because [18:55] other cities are making adjustments at this time currently on Sundays are [18:59] sailing alcohol are at 11:00 a.m. [19:05] Newport is and I am [19:09] living on their City Council if their city comes we need probably at 9:00 a.m. [19:13] change I have their ordinance in front me I gotta confront this an [19:16] administrator on the other day they will didn't have especially if everything is [19:20] approved which it should be they poke people but still 1 6 a.m. there if a [19:24] couple that they approve it that could actually have another special even [19:26] following day devoted in the place in a week or two everyone that takes no [19:33] reason bringing up is our the slice and logic proactive instead of reactive all [19:36] this stuff I talked to some other cities around herself in high school experience [19:40] to try to hear everybody long I think that we need to give our businesses [19:45] earlier they want to be cheap markets so I think it's only fair [19:52] talk about it possibly put in James Han I must say we vote tonight with [19:56] everybody agrees to it [20:00] right ordinance we vote on next time I just didn't feel [20:03] this simple subject was worth having a special meeting for day mark and Roger [20:09] to meet about significant meter tonight they have agreed to it it's real [20:18] the propane the process be to move for a committee meeting to discuss it with the [20:22] appropriate committee like Labor Relations I don't think it's necessary [20:26] if they feel that it is necessary to meet with them there also we sit right [20:29] here they feel that they need to I have just so everybody knows I spoke to every [20:34] single business proposed to be in town everybody from the marathon to the mayor [20:45] stopped and I went to where Thomas meets up with Shell station every single owner [20:50] PP Highlander grant everybody's in favor of other things [20:54] so it's really pretty simple change so that's why that's the only reason one [21:01] apparently these these so many members feel that they need to discuss it [21:04] further please take it to committee first I just [21:08] didn't I didn't want like I said before I'll say it again I want be proactive [21:11] instead of reactive so it's two additional hours on Sunday and no I mean [21:23] for me that's a simple change I'd be okay not having a committee that would [21:26] differ to my other committee members on that yeah I think as long as we're kind [21:30] of keeping things uniform with that's kind of the theme of what we try to do [21:34] is keep things uniform with other cities in the region and in the county I guess [21:41] can could pull some ordinances to see [21:47] well I personally like 6 a.m. because anything too loud I'm sorry I would say [21:53] - they're doing 9 a.m. it's statewide where this is statewide [22:03] one is at 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. 7 days a week and I think everybody [22:12] beer at 1:00 and here [22:18] and now I think Alexandria is 6 a.m. right now [22:21] silver Grove is 6 a.m. Covington is 9 a.m. [22:26] who else south gate is 11 still was still talked about mayor Hamburg there a [22:31] couple days ago 11 know what we were doing because it would be the last piece [22:34] of the puzzle on this is 471 compliment like I said I just want to make sure I [22:38] like all of our communities being on the same page whatever they wanted that's [22:42] obviously so that's kind of where I stand on that [22:48] issues at this one [22:54] beautiful videos it be that once throughout a lot of facing to do so [23:00] percent of change a draft for free that's me [23:05] so is the draft two hours early what would you guys like I'm Sam [23:10] that's what the committee meetings come in handy the hash these things out well [23:14] it's not universally should you're suggesting here the process of changing [23:29] vellum using the process of changing right now and we're currently 11 [23:38] you know within these days and h2 with wall cup and the NFL packages overseas [23:44] you know when the same factors they fall Justin it just gives people opportunity [23:48] to sell that's all I'm saying is given businesses their own opportunity to [23:53] yourself [23:56] in Bellevue in the Newport would be a [24:10] [Music] [24:32] change [Music] [24:37] prior to your and review our draft I mean I think it would be important to [24:47] know if staff could just monitor them let us know what stance is the least of [24:52] the city's yeah Wow cute in their lives I do know that they're you know Bellevue [24:57] has had some opposition to certain time frames because some of their businesses [25:02] are feeling obligated to open earlier when it's not really a better model to [25:05] do so but to be competitive they're going to have to open earlier if if they [25:10] pass an ordinance to everybody else over I love is the consensus from business [25:15] owners at yourself I mean they're all opening you if you come at service [25:21] they're sterile but anyway I guess would be done you know in debt so it would [25:25] give some of the bars opportunities of debate but now earlier or something like [25:28] that and Bellevue is gonna happen about [25:41] what about if we do this why don't we draft an ordinance with the 9:00 a.m. [25:45] time slot and plan on having that committee meeting meet before the next [25:49] council meeting to review it and by that time we'll know what some of the other [25:52] cities have done and it would should be simple enough to change the time from [25:58] one time to another time and then vote have the first reading at the February [26:02] meeting okay next item this is the fun part implementation of the city [26:10] community plan taking away this is the song-and-dance area just so you know [26:15] okay the go oh okay I'm gonna get some steps in tonight and I'm gonna raise my [26:24] chair so I'm right in front of this [Music] [26:29] you know mayor we have some folks here that are interested in official action [26:38] on some of these Saints and those can be fairly routine when it makes sense to do [26:42] that before then we go through this in case anybody probably threw up I mention [26:50] some of those important issues we're in [26:54] [Music] [27:07] [Laughter] [27:11] so we've got the ordinances to add on official and ordinances quickly and bias [27:20] committee report [Music] [27:31] yeah okay good reporter

Peterman [28:38] chairperson mister can remember [Music] [28:52] great ordinance Oh eighteen this is a summary of ordinance Oh eighteen 2019 [28:59] and mornin's creating a new chapter of the city of Fort Thomas Code of [29:02] Ordinances to prohibit certain discriminatory practices within the city [29:07] this ordinance adopts a policy to promote fair treatment and equal [29:11] opportunity for all persons regardless of race color religion national origin [29:16] sex age over the age of 40 disability sexual orientation gender identity or [29:23] feminine familial status all claims filed with the city's fairness officer [29:29] alleging discrimination and employment public accommodations housing financial [29:34] and credit transactions based on race color national origin religion age over [29:40] forty familial status and disability shall be referred to the Kentucky [29:44] Commission on Human Rights for investigation and enforcement in [29:48] accordance with the Kentucky Civil Rights Act the city shall reserve the [29:53] resolution of all claims of discrimination based on sexual [29:57] orientation or gender identity complaints may be filed investigations [30:02] conducted conciliation attempted and if necessary hearings health [30:10] second second all right I want to have a little bit of discussion I just want to [30:15] make a couple of statements I've talked to a number of citizens and received a [30:19] number of emails and appreciate everybody's endeavor to make this happen [30:23] there isn't anybody I talked to that is against the idea of fairness for [30:28] everybody but there are people who are concerned about this being more of a [30:31] political issue and really shouldn't be at the city level [30:34] I personally am concerned from a liability standpoint for the city to put [30:39] that onus on us to have to deal with this particular issue as the ordinance [30:44] states everything else is handled by the Kentucky humanities or whatever is [30:48] called it really should be done at a state level and I think even folks [30:51] involved understand that that's a preferred that it would be at a state [30:55] level or even at a federal level that we didn't have to do this at a local level [31:00] so I am concerned about that I've had a number of people express concern they [31:04] would prefer that we did not do it and I just wanted to share that because it was [31:08] brought to my attention so any other discussion okay mr. cammeron hi mr. [31:18] Collier [31:28] [Music] [Laughter] [31:36] I do feel to give that a couple of those comes for me just give me a sense of I [32:06] thought that occurred to me about this and you know this question of whether or [32:12] not this level rise and you don't hope there's nothing yeah issue and you have [32:17] some process and Sanders you know some potential cost to the city of this and [32:22] you know is it really necessary is it political and all those kinds of things [32:27] reminds me of you're not gonna believe this comparison though when we were [32:34] dealing with the deer issue and there were a lot of people that were doing [32:39] there were people that were concerned about the danger that could result from [32:49] shooting arrows in the city and I remember at the time we did some [32:54] research and couldn't find any information at all about accident you [33:01] know arrow shooting accents couldn't find it and you know Internet's pretty [33:06] powerful and if that happened he could but the thought occurred to me that you [33:11] know even if it's not real if somebody doesn't [33:14] feel safe that's a real problem and so you know we took steps when we did a lot [33:21] of shooting to limit it to certain times so that those people would not be scared [33:27] they would feel safe even though I think this is but we certainly want people [33:38] that may have a feeling I'm not feeling welcome to feel welcome and I think that [33:43] has some value and I you know I despite the fact that it's you know taking some [33:48] staff times taking my personal time to review this and you know maybe like for [33:58] Thomas there's a very important value to me all right thank you again so 19 this [34:21] is a summary of ordinance Oh 19 2018 an ordinance amending the text of the [34:26] official zoning ordinance of the city of Fort Thomas Kentucky to include outdoor [34:30] seating as a list of permitted use in a general commercial zoning district under [34:35] under article 10 stone regulation subset or subject section 10.1 to general [34:43] commercial zone subsection a uses permitted the official zoning ordinance [34:47] is hereby amended by adding outdoor seating as a permitted use in the [34:51] general commercial zone any motion second [34:57] your discussion summary of ordinance 20 2019 annoyance amending the text of the [35:13] official zoning ordinance of the city of Fort Thomas Kentucky be amended to add [35:17] residential uses as regulation as regulated herein as permitted an [35:22] internal general commercial zoning district under Article 10 same [35:27] regulations section 10.1 to general commercials and G C subsection a uses [35:34] permitted and to include residential uses shall be restricted to floors other [35:39] than the ground floor residential floor space shall not exceed a ratio of two to [35:44] one of the other permitted uses in the structure to article tens and [35:48] regulations section 10.1 to general commercials NGC section e other [35:54] developmental controls the official zoning ordinance known is hereby amended [36:00] by adding residential uses of the permitted use in the general commercial [36:05] zone and this ye shall be restricted to floor's other than the ground floor to [36:13] approve second discussion [36:18] Mr Cameron vice mr.

Chris Manning with human nature who has been working with [40:33] our staff on implementation the plan I stand before you today first of all come [40:41] in the prior council in this council for the action they've taken to get us to [40:45] this point I always told my kids growing up things don't happen by accident all [40:50] the time that right there represents things that don't happen my accident you [40:55] know we went through a process a year-long process engaging our community [41:00] to create our community I think we did a great job it's being [41:04] recognized outside this room for the team that we put together the effort [41:08] that we made the process that we used and I think that's really important and [41:12] this council's chosen picked up that momentum and kind of carried us for the [41:17] next step of implementation so we challenged ourselves at the beginning of [41:21] the last year this time last year when this council came on board about [41:26] implementation and we worked through the first quarter of the year with myself [41:31] kind of leading in charge and trying to intermingle the implementation process [41:35] with other things that we do every day in our community and it was a challenge [41:41] and again I come in council I think it was in our Finance Committee meeting or [41:45] not look we for us to do a really good job we probably need to bring to the [41:52] outside resource to help me direct our staff and to work individually to [41:58] accomplish some of the things and keep that little down that's where this is [42:02] young man she liked the group and since then we've had measurable progress and [42:07] that's why we're here tonight so it was really like to kind of walk you through [42:11] the process it's pretty impressive you all see it and hear it on a [42:15] month-to-month basis we live it every day as far as what we're doing in this [42:20] and staff who have a great staff and the community feels it and we all go but [42:25] sometimes it's nice to pause and stop and look at where we are having said [42:31] that we would like to get to the point where we're focusing on so we'd like to [42:42] touch on where we've been and talk about the things that are in front of us and [42:46] Kris and I are going to do that together so with that I guess we'll start [43:14] Oh [43:21] we're going this is the outline that we're involved tonight I've given you an [43:25] introduction we have working committees implementation tools project updates and [43:30] then we talk about next steps [43:37] sure first I just wanted to take a moment to thank mayor and council for [43:42] the opportunity to be part of this you know used to being part of the visioning [43:45] and the planning and used to doing construction documents and following [43:49] things but that gap in between strategy I don't get to do that often and it's [43:55] really fun so we're a lot my sleeves work with the committee's work with Ron [43:59] that's it the night here so thank you for the opportunity it's a lot of time [44:04] so we've been having committee meetings and this is how sort of broken down sore [44:11] and understand public works parks and recreation in particular have been the [44:16] most active today buildings and utilities that lengthing up and as I was [44:21] talking to Roger earlier funding it's going to get very important very soon [44:26] we're getting to that point where we need to really prioritize and start to [44:31] lay out budgets all these fun projects so that's coming and we've also [44:37] developed some new tools kind of building upon some of the tools that we [44:42] developed in the community we have these project implementation worksheets that [44:49] are built in Excel so everybody has access to them and use them and you can [44:55] see at the bottom kind of how it's structured you have the area you have [45:01] the project responsible committees and contact people you have a calendar in [45:06] the middle funding and partnerships and then comments and notes to the right [45:12] now we have five of them we have at our Park and Midway district working sheet [45:25] that will continue to evolve so this is very much important and we use it every [45:32] time we meet Chris in our first session that we can see in front of you is blank [45:43] and it took the entire table in the Centennial room and we started there and [45:48] it's been a great tool for us that's because all these blocks were the size [45:52] of the stickers here it was huge so that was our starting point and it allowed us [45:58] to stay on task more importantly it's allowed us to project forward not just [46:03] we don't want the bond but really no longer [46:06] kind of a rear block but we're starting to move everything into an appropriate [46:12] location and face it off over reality and we're [46:21] so with that we'll move into the project updates and there's there's a lot of [46:25] them to start off with the town park Midway [46:29] district area and we're going to start at the entrance the Talon targets were [46:34] and so make some improvements around the towel and not too long ago there's a [46:40] beautiful building says our icon this is an entrance to a [46:46] regional destination park we're talking about including all the crosswalks and [46:50] the intersection creating another problem ever side [46:55] and that that's where the location of the jumped on the statue will go when [47:00] funding is complete for that you can kind of see how those things complement [47:06] celebrates the entrance the park makes it safer also investigating the [47:13] possibility that stop which we hope we can accomplish at [47:17] parties improvements over time really celebrate [47:22] just you know as we go through these just [47:26] kind of captured the concept that all of our projects are really designed have an [47:32] initiative of a purpose and it's an improvement it's safety conscious so [47:39] there's always the undertone of providing a safe atmosphere and then the [47:44] last thing is a sense of place so if you picture these things as we go through [47:47] them those are some of the underlying [47:54] next as we move into the park we're talking about some related intersection [47:59] improvements as we complete the parking and roadway improvements around the mess [48:04] hall in conjunction with Alexander Circle this intersection takes on more [48:08] importance [48:11] solve some of the alignment issues that have been a challenge for a long long [48:14] time an important process and pretty four-way stop kind of conditions make [48:20] them all 90 degrees also gives us the opportunity to create a new trailhead [48:25] but here is this is one major traveling south parking create some amenities that [48:30] to go with that and then to create a very clear threshold where the [48:35] residential parking is for the homies to the west [48:40] creating a threshold there was some signage acquaintances so it's literally [48:44] the best [48:47] so those are some things as we move into the park and then continuing further in [48:53] course there's a bigger project the appurtenances red weddings and parking [48:59] around the mess hall in partnership with what's going on [49:04] kind of represents that as we do that of course we're talking about some [49:10] improvements around the mess hall itself there's a big need to improve the [49:16] findings around the mess hall and so to the lower left there's a proposed [49:21] landscaping enhancement plan sitting right on that and you can see to [49:28] the right or right some in progress of construction parking area that's also we [49:36] really become more usable from the mess hall and it's also a place where we can [49:41] hold more community events and the details here as you all know [49:48] funny we've done in one take this building that the armory building [49:54] the first steps [49:58] the dirty carpet in the brain and cows kind of a thing it really creates that [50:03] as I sort of where you're lacking and Chris mentioned [50:07] when this is said and done you know the landscaping in front of the building [50:11] within finishes important and and all those [50:16] details are hand all the plans this view that you see looking at the sided but [50:22] that's all is under construction but when it's completed it will have a [50:26] network a sidewalk it will have lighting it's appropriate for the parking in the [50:30] walkways you'll have a landscape here and so it all comes in one of the other [50:39] components it's going to need an upgrade is everything around [50:44] new is a softball field itself and so this is more of a diagram make it [50:57] function better make it drain better new restroom that is closer to the new [51:03] parking use their new small shelter playground in that area which would be [51:15] great for that event your simple residents but also for people who were [51:19] maybe looking for a smaller [51:23] alternative and then definitely new fencing the bleachers that because all [51:33] these things in him findings surrounding it [51:42] the zipline routes course that proposin and community playing behind this all [51:49] just reporting progress on that we get hope to be identified a potential [51:55] operating partner it turns out they're more of a design build and they are [52:01] operated [52:05] so we're sort of stepping back again looking for that partner doing kind of a [52:11] national search for that partner and the project moving forward so we have that [52:16] partner to help us implement the course and then manage an operator so depending [52:24] on who that is if it ever happens the designs of course of course for the ball [52:32] and who is a move further and of course these are some up-to-date [52:36] photographs of the progress and Alexander circle it's really really [52:40] exciting to see that happening but the inside and outside I didn't take any [52:47] inside photographs [52:51] well you can kind of see the new besides and when the new colors many rooms in [52:57] windows new garage is going on the house and then asked yeah so really exciting [53:04] progress and then there we work for decades to make this possible staff see [53:10] it actually happen [53:14] kind of okay to counsel first of all this type of weather will [53:21] go miles completing this project because the site development [53:27] [Music] but the better whether the utilities are [53:32] always buddies now so you know it was a completely rebuilt there's a moment this [53:37] is really like a new some of these structures were all over the place [53:40] so only underground utilities and all brand-new everything but they are all in [53:46] place now and of course we had a obligation to do or airline industry [53:52] technically before the sidewalk [54:02] but all of the paving here is to go back a couple slides around the bass hole [54:12] that will be resurfaced in the spring all that Sidewalk work around the new [54:17] parking areas will be completed and all [54:24] is a new house so yes and I would expect occupancy court [54:30] documents in here probably [54:36] I have to give the developer a lot of credit they serve [54:41] where they come to our meetings four times [54:47] very patient very responsive and I've been inside some of the houses and I've [54:59] been impressed with the quality of materials they're using you know it [55:03] they're doing a really good job [55:08] you know you've seen this before and then there's a plane just like this that [55:12] spreads it out on the site actually that this is the shelter three area and [55:16] construction has started on that area of the old shelter [55:25] a combination of contractors and city crews will be building this [55:35] this will come out of the ground we work with communities all over the Midwest [55:47] and I have to say it's one of the things that makes for talking special to do is [55:51] work in our city originally in partnership with contractors with [55:56] developers it's not everybody has very few do it as well [56:04] and we're also looking at the stables building that we continue to chip away [56:09] at the possibility of [56:14] as a gathering space and we're talking about improvements around that building [56:21] that add to the parking clarify circulation through pedestrian [56:27] crosswalks all around the VA State Building area so these are some plans [56:35] and studies to improve parking increase the number of parking that we have to [56:40] move forward as partners [56:46] and we're continuing competition really important potential partner in [56:52] the Midway district their presence is there depends on who went there how [56:58] accepted they are but we do have they can't help but lead over into our [57:11] properties we would like to have that reciprocated with some of the potential [57:19] the concept here we actually have some other ones that have sent out on the [57:23] streets kids and impulsivity a property in the Midway district is doing really [57:30] well and eat more with all businesses so we moved from [57:38] town park Midway to town centre CBD and of course everybody's notice the [57:45] difference there one Highland demolition of several structures is taking place [57:52] today photographs so all the buildings are down are there still some foundation [57:58] walls and everything [Music] [58:01] exciting new project right in the center Prospero [58:06] and you complain [58:12] and then with city building team has been selected led by Joe Hayes who's [58:18] done such a wonderful job on our schools [Music] [58:24] current work is focused on some of the basic cost we need to investigate [58:33] lately to address before we get to some of the [58:38] big changes just as an update to that actually Jonah [58:44] you know we kind of dissected this project potential in million sections [58:51] and the first one is again they've been driving the time but our [58:56] needs were see how our true infrastructures have [59:00] better is the starter killer and he has [59:04] completed that evaluation we start talking about that which will allow us [59:07] to have the next conversation about service delivery and that would actually [59:13] or the street cake so we're kind of at the branch there and [59:20] obviously part of that conversation [59:29] we're kind of getting to that you know we have to be doing how we're going to [59:35] accomplish the other thing [59:41] this also work on the garages in the parking as well as this just a builder [59:46] well that's what I was speaking of context [1:00:02] sweetie building one Highland exists the area and as CBD continues [1:00:09] live in Rome and see progress made you know that parking is going to be [1:00:17] they need to be addressed and we'd like to be proactive about that and really [1:00:23] need to do more study understand where an existing [1:00:28] market is where there's potential for parking [1:00:32] connect part came by get to it [1:00:41] so really looking at that into the next step [1:00:52] is very about what [1:01:00] we will because those GT players property [1:01:08] so we're taking the first steps toward identifying and [1:01:14] [Music] [1:01:20] [Music] three lights notice has been just [1:01:27] incredible progress made on the trails this park next March [1:01:32] a lot of volunteers and city crews [1:01:38] and that's kind of urging everybody to get a flying [1:01:48] [Music] [1:01:51] it's just exciting to see the trail system evolve later and it becomes [1:02:02] you know on that what are this trail maps available there I quit and I [1:02:08] couldn't finally of the city website I think they're [1:02:13] posted in all these maps and then there's also the ones that go throughout [1:02:20] the community where there are emblem out there a lot [1:02:26] of sidewalks where you [1:02:30] there are copies on paper available and left by the tennis courts yeah [1:02:44] [Music] it'll be easier to find I mean I don't [1:02:50] see for example you could search for a me that's psychotic [1:02:57] it's such an active community [1:03:04] and then at the end of the coalsack right there where the developer is [1:03:08] talking about improvements to that area [1:03:14] well this active street really [1:03:18] sidewall extended one of these [1:03:28] yeah we're really excited you know this is reference [1:03:34] this is Lisa Silvia this facility that all partridges have [1:03:40] holiday okay the training for snow on the ground [1:03:43] somebody is thinking they're going to the ballpark literally yeah but [1:03:47] everybody just keeps sensing the same is going to the dogs [1:03:53] yeah but I'm excited because you know we place this a number of years ago [1:04:03] amenity to it and I think the truth [1:04:26] and they did an online poll they had good response they probably worked eyes [1:04:31] you know kind of hey we like a lot of things but here what we might identify [1:04:35] it is the most important things and they understand that that's the best way to [1:04:39] approach the city they're willing to do a fundraising event [1:04:45] they feel really excited about the possibility with the vegetarian [1:04:51] they exist and you have and it shows where and having [1:04:58] kind of a design concept - if it were stuck just starting to get to and I [1:05:08] would also just point out and you see on this diagram and maybe another slide [1:05:14] show of that people there is a kind of a comprehensive effort to create a [1:05:19] walkability with in the park the Ohana marks existed for a long time [1:05:24] the truth and everybody in the back part when we did the phasing and the new [1:05:34] shelter they kind of stopped earlier pedestrian access to the vault there is [1:05:40] a plan to do work along the funnies among people and then as you can see [1:05:45] here I found such kind of picked up and of an actual paper path regional [1:05:57] connectivity and the partnerships are really important in all of our parts and [1:06:03] the folks that have assembled [1:06:10] you'll see the community the benefit of that as we start to engage with them and [1:06:19] and that's duplicated with the baseball team [1:06:24] that meeting but that duplication is important [1:06:37] and celebrate that sense of volunteerism throughout our system but this is a [1:06:44] great thing [1:06:47] then we have the baseball field [1:06:53] better braking we can [1:06:58] you can see the end of the walkway loudly extended [1:07:07] there's mental operations happening in the lower area there the horizontal [1:07:12] bodies we this is a great plan roughly showing the lumen to that be [1:07:19] consistent with the community plan that we look at conferred parking and [1:07:24] pedestrian trail head slash mark in this area [1:07:33] what what is it stairs the the building took place there to [1:07:39] date has little just to generate some public the city's been doing we haven't [1:07:44] opened that of the fuel project we do have to require a permit to nested one [1:07:47] I've had conversation that the affected abutting property owner although we [1:07:53] haven't finalized any details and that was just the red line that you see there [1:07:58] for example right is judge Folgers property enough [1:08:02] that would say me and maybe I've met with the Swim Club and whether they [1:08:07] allow that temporary encroachment would just change how we grade but the [1:08:12] intention here is the project at one Highland is to bring that filter or [1:08:17] going to be done very quickly it'll be places the control Phil we [1:08:21] won't have a prolonged you know improve you know the truck bringing the feeling [1:08:26] it'll be convincing a very short time frame [1:08:29] big expensive I mean it seems like every about a project [1:08:36] well if being hold in for free so the one you have to do is great in [1:08:40] compactive yell [1:08:46] as part to some of our major core projects [1:08:51] one of us exciting committees [1:08:56] partnerships and collaboration community and in that committee this idea talking [1:09:02] to our neighbors and library major projects like us [1:09:07] came out of that and the naturally down subtraction [1:09:14] really sorry formalize and we talking about with some funding [1:09:20] together [1:09:23] between several cities in the county and then the holistic supporting partners [1:09:28] vistas and everybody some [Music] [1:09:33] just a lot of momentum and a lot of potential [1:09:45] and I think you'll have [1:09:49] through those involved in [1:09:57] and scheduling our meetings it's really kind of neat that this really sprung [1:10:02] from our efforts [1:10:06] the regional collaboration from the businesses anything in the past and this [1:10:13] is a direct result of that committee kind of stretching our boundaries and [1:10:17] pretty exciting that really truly inconvenient for almost two [1:10:21] years and it's grown exponentially to include a number of partners okay I know [1:10:28] other partners beyond the interval with a lot of momentum and discussion [1:10:34] and were kind of getting to the point where or organizing we've added all the [1:10:43] some realities report has a grant for the portion of 27 and that's when to [1:10:48] kind of service the starting point literally figuratively [1:10:52] or their selections made about streetscaping and lane road diets [1:10:59] there's discussion about those topics interacted with tank [1:11:04] service providers [1:11:08] is really strong in terms of the support Philippine [1:11:13] and I'm really excited about where this who not just do the four continents but [1:11:18] how it will link everything over for the region and it really sort of is kind of [1:11:25] that that study where I think that will be duplicated in Indonesia and other [1:11:29] parts of country quite honestly if it suddenly was intelligent and then route [1:11:35] 8 to the bottom left you see an analysis that was produced by CT itself kind of [1:11:42] documenting where some of moving areas have been conditions are there and then [1:11:48] to the right you see the image that which really the first time starting to [1:11:54] look at a bold idea for what they could be the ideas [1:11:59] a big plot it's evolves into more park like road traffic [1:12:07] you slow down we have stops crossings trailheads we have one road trails or [1:12:16] else connecting we have water trails canoe kayak input [1:12:22] takeout places so that's the vision so interestingly we would have had to [1:12:27] approach KYTC anyone to start to work towards that vision it just got sort of [1:12:33] accelerated some of the conditions that we have and so we've been working really [1:12:39] hard to remind everyone about this vision and start to sort of catalyze [1:12:45] together [1:12:51] [Music] [1:12:57] and really important partners one of the Southbank because being part of the good [1:13:03] flight commons six city vision we can pursue state federal funds with south [1:13:11] bank of the partner to make things in [1:13:17] they're going to keep through that facilities partnerships [1:13:23] how do we fund these things how we fund local matches how we can effectively [1:13:30] we were often example another way to agree that like you know [1:13:35] what a tsunami yeah well we would is the latest is there any you know what recent [1:13:43] update [Music] [1:13:54] a kind of an agenda every study of this area let's do a lead-in [1:14:03] the utility companies are very organized in terms of their effort to figure out [1:14:08] how important it is as a service provider of utility what it means to [1:14:14] them respectively the ordered sanitation water sanitation do the energy they have [1:14:20] a major transmission line that runs down there and served over half of camel [1:14:25] County CSX has already seen someone who [1:14:30] invented system so there's a lot of players in there [1:14:38] affected by the outcomes here those huge price tags to the traditional method of [1:14:44] poaching getting a step back from that and then putting it into some realities [1:14:51] and maybe where you see this concept if it doesn't have to be what it was before [1:14:55] but it's really important is where we're trying to lead the conversation it's [1:15:01] important to our community it's important to the county or to all of [1:15:06] Campbell County but you know where we land on that thing is still very much [1:15:19] hopefully we can have a shared vision [1:15:27] you know taking some of the burden frankly off the table you can see [1:15:30] because there's just such a diminished ridership [1:15:37] go away that's where all the memories are definitely [1:15:40] they they can't the investment I made so we have to work [1:15:48] with all of our partners and now [1:15:58] and then Grand Avenue you know a lot of discussion and it's been explored a [1:16:04] little bit for possibility birthday [1:16:11] around about the grand major gateway into the city that's picking up steam [1:16:22] study of the round out the initial costing that we need to go further into [1:16:29] some engineering there further revisiting the road diet what that means [1:16:35] exactly the idea that it becomes and neighborhood friendly slowing [1:16:43] traffic down type of street was really exciting and it says [1:16:49] and the Melvin okay like you see is pretty to here but this represents a [1:16:56] project where there's a lot of potential for other funding mechanisms outside [1:17:01] it's a safe growl you know this type of activities great certainly [1:17:09] I guess strength in what way delivers opportunities for buttons [1:17:17] to accomplish some of these seven so we'll be exploring that and this is in [1:17:22] concept but KYTC is also partnering with us in this process to assist with the [1:17:27] studies Oh [1:17:31] please help us [1:17:37] we got abused to sit in their seat Joe Fisher excited about this project in [1:17:45] have fun [1:17:53] and then water rarely project with a very important one from a safety stake [1:17:59] one james Avenue in Highland as you know that intersection [1:18:04] same problem the issues there the vertical alignment [1:18:10] trying to exit you're facing uphill [1:18:15] see pedestrians and now that lawyer has you know finished its project and that [1:18:23] circulation there it's time to really make some improvements to this in [1:18:27] say [1:18:30] this is a study that CG did show how that grade has worked he have a plan at [1:18:36] the top and the cross section just below it show how extending flat spot [1:18:43] it will require some retaining Al's to the sides to limit impacts these days [1:19:02] and even many those requests that we have a following [1:19:15] it's really important city the fuel project will take place in [1:19:22] squaring in this project obviously follow [1:19:28] and then there's been some concerns expressed by citizens at the waterworks [1:19:33] a memorial intersection so city explored several options for how to deal with [1:19:40] that this was the preferred option which is very inexpensive but very effective [1:19:52] or subscribing and [1:19:58] I just saw that being implemented down in Bellevue as well [1:20:06] there's a very low-cost but effective method and you know it can even be a [1:20:12] temporary thing [1:20:28] so that the Georgian state route disabled quarter TYT see clearly now [1:20:37] because I know somebody that can take senator shoulder yeah I saw that [1:20:41] response but it wasn't as I thought the same thing that's not on a State Street [1:20:46] well though this week so we're all [1:21:00] village Italy to locate some exercise of [1:21:10] discussion about using that for health and wellness program and so we've [1:21:17] selected some workout equipment and we selected the locations of those these [1:21:23] pictures we have new heights and suppressed types and [1:21:29] room to add [1:21:33] but we selected the equipment the manufacturer and even the color [1:21:37] we're getting ready just like [1:21:42] that's our next step [1:21:47] [Music] and then you know some of the down [1:21:51] stirring recommendations from the community plan was needed out they are [1:22:02] and so that requires eating line many were complaining commission can't [1:22:11] probably hiring some outside help I need everyone to do that process [1:22:17] radar [1:22:24] take place that would all go through the Planning Commission and disallow from [1:22:30] some of these regulations would be [1:22:46] but we're looking at initiating that again [1:22:55] what's an example of subdivision regulation somebody regulations would [1:23:01] regularly [1:23:07] you know it would be installation of all the infrastructure / together carving [1:23:13] got very little pavement composition 1 2 or sidewalks with the streets [1:23:20] [Music] [1:23:30] for a long time thank you [1:23:35] for Thomas nannies having didn't so [1:23:41] and right sides and customized yep the subdivision [1:23:46] I can tell you when I started here with suddenly [1:23:58] we [1:24:04] the effort now had a lot of basic items or something [1:24:13] full update [1:24:20] and then again this is where the parks Advisory Council acts going on there but [1:24:27] we're also talking about you know we work on all these exciting projects and [1:24:32] we move them along on paper [1:24:48] [Applause] [1:24:59] in early moving this conversation forward [1:25:03] a way to leverage all the energy [Music] [1:25:16] so as you continue to accomplish a lot you all all of us [1:25:22] lay the groundwork the right way with the plan itself but the work thing can [1:25:27] happen to a planet I've seen it you know [1:25:31] see that it's it's too long this plant never got a chance to see [1:25:37] their boss on it yes and that's the best testament to the role of our community [1:25:42] to the council to staff to move forward and we're pretty excited about how far [1:25:47] we've come and that's a lot we just talk about it a lot and they're working with [1:25:54] and all the people that have started to engage you know from the dog park people [1:25:58] to you know Joe citizen on the street that hasn't ended it's all starting to [1:26:04] come together to this there's a lot of things that are there a lot of no very [1:26:08] attainable some of them are conceptual some of them are more initiative works [1:26:12] as a project the prioritizations will be going important in the discussion at [1:26:18] some point has to come back [1:26:27] funding an implementation words to convey Chris tension the park advisory [1:26:32] last recreation and maybe that are probably going to have a public open [1:26:39] public lead over the public forum because they've accomplished a lot of [1:26:43] conversation about a lot of areas in the park I was kidding about the person [1:26:48] that's select the person's gonna page work through the equipment that's you [1:26:52] know half joking I mean we have to have partners for some of this we have to [1:26:56] have other resolution it's not going to be [1:26:58] in the city budget but you know those people out there those resources out [1:27:04] there [1:27:08] really excited about how far
