1
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:32,060
Thank

2
00:00:36,610 --> 00:00:38,910
you, everyone. Roll call, please.

3
00:00:39,210 --> 00:00:40,750
Mayor Johnson, adjourned.

4
00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:41,370
Here.

5
00:00:44,410 --> 00:00:45,930
All right.

6
00:00:48,980 --> 00:00:52,900
First, public recognition. I have a couple items for us tonight.

7
00:00:53,780 --> 00:00:55,580
From the fire in the MS Department.

8
00:00:56,500 --> 00:00:59,480
Rachel Gattley was the winner of the hog raffle.

9
00:01:00,140 --> 00:01:02,860
Third place winner was Jeff Nester.

10
00:01:02,860 --> 00:01:07,140
and Andrea Gettler, one of the Cincinnati Reds tickets.

11
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,320
And thank you to everyone over 250 participants

12
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,180
that registered for their inaugural 5K mile walk.

13
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,200
Participants came as far as Pennsylvania,

14
00:01:19,740 --> 00:01:20,560
Lauren Nessalagi.

15
00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:23,320
And we thank them for participating.

16
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,620
Does anyone have anyone else for public recognition?

17
00:01:31,170 --> 00:01:32,530
All right, thank you.

18
00:01:32,530 --> 00:01:34,870
Citizens 4.

19
00:01:35,230 --> 00:01:36,570
Hey, would I like to address Council?

20
00:01:36,610 --> 00:01:37,690
Please step to the podium,

21
00:01:37,950 --> 00:01:39,430
state your name and address for the record.

22
00:01:47,530 --> 00:01:48,610
Good evening, Council.

23
00:01:49,130 --> 00:01:53,050
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to introduce myself to you for a couple of minutes.

24
00:01:53,770 --> 00:01:55,090
I am Judge Nicholas Delane,

25
00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:56,790
Montgomery County Juvenile Court,

26
00:01:57,370 --> 00:01:59,050
touring essentially Montgomery County,

27
00:01:59,270 --> 00:02:01,050
and I'm finding out just how big it is

28
00:02:01,050 --> 00:02:03,370
introducing myself to Councils and boards,

29
00:02:03,570 --> 00:02:07,070
and everyone so that we can at least get to see each other face to face.

30
00:02:07,070 --> 00:02:09,630
A little bit of background about myself.

31
00:02:10,470 --> 00:02:15,610
I started out after graduated from the University of Dayton, with my engineering degree.

32
00:02:15,790 --> 00:02:21,150
After I went to law school, I came back and was a assistant prosecutor from Montgomery County

33
00:02:21,150 --> 00:02:23,690
for about nine years doing criminal trial work.

34
00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:28,210
And for the past 23 years, I've been in domestic relations court as a magistrate,

35
00:02:28,250 --> 00:02:31,910
dealing with families, and a custody and parenting time, and everything that families

36
00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:35,010
can have a dispute about, and that's certainly quite a bit.

37
00:02:35,010 --> 00:02:39,670
And I'm now bringing that focus on family experience to juvenile court.

38
00:02:40,430 --> 00:02:45,250
I'm here because juvenile court has many partners on juvenile justice issues.

39
00:02:45,950 --> 00:02:51,530
Your schools, your police department, and obviously this council and the citizens that you represent.

40
00:02:52,930 --> 00:02:57,890
I'm here to begin the process of listening. I bring fresh eyes to juvenile court.

41
00:02:58,090 --> 00:03:01,690
I want to hear people's concerns about juvenile justice issues.

42
00:03:01,690 --> 00:03:05,050
I want to hear about people and their interactions with the court.

43
00:03:05,330 --> 00:03:08,490
I want to hear what we're doing good and if there are things we can improve on,

44
00:03:08,530 --> 00:03:14,410
I want to hear about those too and I'm hoping with some of this kind of communication and introduction,

45
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:21,990
we can have communications and cooperation down the road so that the shared issues on juvenile

46
00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:28,390
justice we can make some progress on. This is obviously my first time addressing you but I certainly

47
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:34,430
I hope you're doing my last, so just thank you for the opportunity to spend a couple of minutes to introduce myself to you.

48
00:03:34,610 --> 00:03:36,310
So thank you again very much.

49
00:03:36,650 --> 00:03:37,190
Thank you for stopping.

50
00:03:37,730 --> 00:03:37,850
Thank you.

51
00:03:39,530 --> 00:03:40,490
Anyone else?

52
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:53,440
Good evening.

53
00:03:53,620 --> 00:03:54,880
My name is Diane Jensen.

54
00:03:55,020 --> 00:03:57,580
On I am a resident at 20 Crayplace.

55
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,320
I have lived there in Canada for 25 years and I've been a resident at Germantown for over 30.

56
00:04:02,820 --> 00:04:08,900
I'm here tonight to formally address the ongoing and serious concerns associated with a property located at 21 Crayplace.

57
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:13,480
including persistent property maintenance issues, safety concerns, instances involving an

58
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,300
unleash dog and what my family believes has become a scattered, targeted harassment and retaliation.

59
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,180
These issues have continued for several years despite repeated attempts to address them through

60
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:28,460
appropriate channels. For approximately four years, we have contacted the city regarding ongoing concerns

61
00:04:28,460 --> 00:04:32,820
involving trash, miscellaneous items, vehicles, and other property maintenance issues at 21.

62
00:04:33,660 --> 00:04:37,940
I want to acknowledge my friends, Barry, who has worked very diligently over the past two years to address

63
00:04:37,940 --> 00:04:42,340
some of these concerns. Despite those efforts, the property at 21 continues to experience

64
00:04:42,340 --> 00:04:47,720
reoccurring maintenance problems. Following the city of action to move the property last year,

65
00:04:47,860 --> 00:04:51,760
the residents have reportedly placed additional toys and miscellaneous items and other debris

66
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,540
throughout the yard within approximately two days. This year, corn was planted in the front yard.

67
00:04:56,940 --> 00:05:00,940
The corn has since died and fallen on to our property. On Sunday, September 6th,

68
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:06,800
my husband moved to the fallen corn back onto the property. The residences then contacted the

69
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,320
use resulting in my husband having to provide a report.

70
00:05:09,860 --> 00:05:13,620
We realize that the matter would ultimately be referred to the prosecutor for decision.

71
00:05:14,540 --> 00:05:18,760
The neighboring residences have continued moving in areas extending onto our property in

72
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,220
an apparent effort to get as close to the corner as possible.

73
00:05:21,860 --> 00:05:24,960
This is particularly concerning because there is an existing trespass order.

74
00:05:25,660 --> 00:05:29,660
Although the residents recently spent approximately three days cleaning the property, our

75
00:05:29,660 --> 00:05:33,140
experience of in the past several years has been that improvements have not been maintained

76
00:05:33,140 --> 00:05:37,760
for an extended period and have historically deteriorated again within approximately six weeks.

77
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,260
A little research this morning, I was able to find a codified ordinance.

78
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:48,180
It's 1130.03.2 that states that the premises and exterior property shall be maintained free from weeds

79
00:05:48,180 --> 00:05:50,260
or plant growth in excess of eight inches.

80
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,520
All notches weeds shall be prohibited.

81
00:05:53,180 --> 00:05:55,980
We shall be defined as grasses, annual plants, and vegetation.

82
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,320
Other than trees and shrubs provided, however, this term shall not include cultivated flowers and gardens.

83
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:06,420
The recurring nature of these conditions has negatively affected the appearance and quality of our

84
00:06:06,420 --> 00:06:10,300
neighborhood and has required continue involvement from city personnel and other authorities.

85
00:06:11,140 --> 00:06:15,500
In addition to the property maintenance issues, there have been serious concerns involving one of the residents dogs.

86
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,580
In April of 2021, the residents dog dug underneath my fence and entered our property where it bit my son.

87
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,260
At the time, the owner stated that they would pay the resulting hospital expenses but did not do so.

88
00:06:26,260 --> 00:06:32,120
The owner has since claimed that the incident was never afforded, however I still have the case number provided by the ARC.

89
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,520
Last year, the same dog was again loose and roaming throughout our neighborhood.

90
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:41,680
When concerns were raised in our neighborhood group, the residents responded that we were lying in state of the dog was friendly.

91
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,020
On July 7th of this year, the same dog was again loose.

92
00:06:45,460 --> 00:06:51,900
When I attempted to close my garage door, the dog approached my garage and began aggressively barking at me while coming farther into the garage area.

93
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:56,540
The residents continue to allow one of their dogs to remain loose and unleashed in the

94
00:06:56,540 --> 00:06:57,140
front yard.

95
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,480
Given the previous bite incident and subsequent instances involving the same dog,

96
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,060
I'm extremely concerned about the safety of my family and the other residents in the

97
00:07:05,060 --> 00:07:05,360
neighborhood.

98
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,700
Our family believes that the many incidents directed toward us are connected to our efforts

99
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:13,960
to report property maintenance and code enforcement concerns to the city.

100
00:07:14,660 --> 00:07:18,300
The situation has escalated to the point that we were required to retain an attorney to

101
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:22,060
she was decent to cis-letter despite that effort that behavior has continued.

102
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,480
Examples, on June 12th, 2025, while my husband was outside to the basketball, he was

103
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,220
screened at and falsely accused.

104
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,820
A series criminal conduct, including being called a pedophile, we have a recording of this incident.

105
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,040
A March 8th of this year, a resident yelled insults at my son.

106
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,840
On March 12th, the resident directed aggressive and offensive language toward both of my husband and my son.

107
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,620
These incidents have contributed to an increasingly hostile environment for my family.

108
00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:56,900
Most recently, a camera was directed toward directly toward a front window of our home, creating a significant concern regarding our privacy.

109
00:07:56,900 --> 00:08:01,340
We contacted the police regarding this incident, although I was advised that there would be a follow-up

110
00:08:01,340 --> 00:08:03,840
I have not received any further information regarding the matter.

111
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,980
There is also frequent yelling and verbal hostility directed toward our family.

112
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,600
These incidents incidences occur on a reoccurring basis, often at least once a week.

113
00:08:12,940 --> 00:08:15,120
We meet every effort not to engage with these neighbors.

114
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:19,900
We do not seek confrontation and we generally ignore the comments and behavior directed toward us.

115
00:08:20,780 --> 00:08:25,720
The situation does not appear to be an isolated disagreement between neighboring households before our family became involved

116
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,080
to the residents have reportedly targeted a previous neighbor's at 13th Prairie.

117
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,480
I was informed that there have been multiple reports concerning their conduct.

118
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,560
While I cannot personally verify reports made by the previous residents, the histories

119
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:40,580
concerning when they considered alongside the repeated incidents our family has personally

120
00:08:40,580 --> 00:08:41,120
experienced.

121
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:45,720
This is only a brief summary of what has been like for our family to live next to this

122
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:46,060
property.

123
00:08:46,620 --> 00:08:49,840
For years we have attempted to address these matters through appropriate channels.

124
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,380
We have contacted the city, cooperated with law enforcement, when incidents occurred in

125
00:08:54,380 --> 00:08:58,800
legal assistance when the harassment continued. However, the situation is gone beyond

126
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,780
what I believe be considered an ordinary neighbor and dispute. We're dealing with

127
00:09:02,780 --> 00:09:06,600
re-accrue property maintenance concerns, safety issues, animal control concerns,

128
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,260
repeated verbal incidents, and conduct that we believe has been directed on our family

129
00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:16,220
and retaliation for reporting code violations. I'm asking the city to use every lawful tool

130
00:09:16,220 --> 00:09:20,380
and enforcement mechanism available to address the ongoing property maintenance and code

131
00:09:20,380 --> 00:09:25,320
violations, investigate the safety concerns and take appropriate actions to help restore safety,

132
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,220
peace, and the quality of our neighborhood.

133
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,260
Our family has lived here for 25 years and in Germantown for more than 30.

134
00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:34,160
We care deeply about our home, our neighborhood, and our community.

135
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,500
We simply want the same basic consideration, safety, and quality of life that every resident should be able

136
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:40,080
to expect.

137
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:41,500
Thank you for your time.

138
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:43,060
Thank you.

139
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,040
Hello, my name is Chelsea Donnelly, and I reside at 17 Prairie Police for nearly three years with my family.

140
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:07,280
I live with the property with my two kids, my significant other, my kids are 16 and 9.

141
00:10:09,020 --> 00:10:14,020
One of my biggest concerns currently is a involves a skeleton decoration in the front yard.

142
00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:22,200
At 21 Prairie, the fleet of these two will be making an obscene hand gesture towards the neighboring property at 20 Prairie Police.

143
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,300
My understanding is that this gesture has specifically been directed towards the occupants of

144
00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:32,840
20-pray place and there's a video that video documentation available regarding this matter.

145
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,000
As a parent, I'm concerned about my children being exposed to whatever you play on a daily basis.

146
00:10:38,620 --> 00:10:43,520
I also believe that it's inappropriate for a residential neighborhood where children regularly walk and play.

147
00:10:44,660 --> 00:10:47,720
My most serious concern involves the dogs at 21-pray place.

148
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:53,900
My daughter was previously attacked by a dog, not in this neighborhood, and is still dealing with aftermaths of the incident.

149
00:10:55,100 --> 00:11:00,900
I am particularly concerned about the situation involving dogs that are repeatedly loose or unrestrained.

150
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,200
I have contacted the Germantown Non Emergency Line and the dog warden, regarding the dogs.

151
00:11:06,740 --> 00:11:17,080
Most recently after the dog warden came to the property, I personally spoke with the dog warden about the situation, about the dog being routinely kept unleashed in the front yard and roaming the neighborhood.

152
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,720
Um, what concerns me the most is shortly after the dog would in left the property, um,

153
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,540
the daughter at 21 prayer place brought the dog back outside unleashed, um,

154
00:11:28,060 --> 00:11:32,560
this made me concerned that the issue was continuing despite the recent involvement of the dog

155
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:33,780
warden.

156
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,160
I personally observed the dogs digging under the fence and getting out of the enclosed area.

157
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,880
I have also observed the dogs outside in the front yard without being properly restrained.

158
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,260
Additionally, I've been informed by Diane, um,

159
00:11:46,260 --> 00:11:50,760
that her son has been fit by one of their dogs, which is what has raised more concern for me as well.

160
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:56,680
My concern is not that the resident's own dogs. This is my concern is that the

161
00:11:56,680 --> 00:12:01,700
potential safety risk created when the dogs are repeatedly available to leave the enclosed

162
00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:07,280
property or remain unleashed in the front yard. I regularly walk my dogs in the neighborhood and I

163
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,120
do not know what my children and my dogs are anyone else's children or pets to be injured.

164
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,680
Give them my daughter's prior experience with dog attacks.

165
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,360
This is an issue that's consignific I concern my family.

166
00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:23,220
I am also concerned about the current condition and appearance of the property, and if

167
00:12:23,220 --> 00:12:26,760
it's still it may have on surrounding property values.

168
00:12:27,060 --> 00:12:31,060
The condition of the neighboring properties has reached the point where I'm embarrassed that

169
00:12:31,060 --> 00:12:32,680
you even have people come to my home.

170
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,440
Post my kids' soccer team, or even have deliveries made because it's been brought up

171
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,720
multiple times. This includes family members.

172
00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:46,940
I should be able to feel comfortable

173
00:12:46,940 --> 00:12:50,260
inviting people to my home without feeling embarrassed or concerned about what

174
00:12:50,260 --> 00:12:54,160
they will say when they arrive. Our home is where I live, raise our kids and spend

175
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,160
our lives. The ongoing condition that the property has negatively affected our

176
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,800
enjoyment and pride in our own home. I have also been a vice of the current

177
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,720
conditions and appearance of 21 prayer place could make it more difficult for me.

178
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:14,500
my home, you could negatively affect its value. My family has discussed the possibility of moving

179
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:16,840
all that we've only been here three years.

180
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,800
I do have pictures of the skeleton everybody would like

181
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,600
get, but I do appreciate your guys this time and listen dark concerns.

182
00:13:26,270 --> 00:13:27,690
Thank you.

183
00:13:30,940 --> 00:13:31,580
But anyone else

184
00:13:31,580 --> 00:13:32,520
just be

185
00:13:40,260 --> 00:13:45,480
okay at this time we'll close citizens for them and we'll move into the managers

186
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,540
with them.

187
00:13:50,370 --> 00:13:51,710
Good evening mayor and manager.

188
00:13:52,690 --> 00:13:53,430
Mayor and council.

189
00:13:57,370 --> 00:14:01,190
Our law director has some comments on 21 Prairie.

190
00:14:02,770 --> 00:14:03,810
We meet.

191
00:14:04,830 --> 00:14:12,890
Well, we probably talked daily about this property as a staff and we met as we

192
00:14:12,890 --> 00:14:15,530
recently is Friday on this.

193
00:14:16,590 --> 00:14:22,090
It's incredibly frustrating in my 44 years of local government.

194
00:14:23,350 --> 00:14:25,750
All of which have been involved with property maintenance.

195
00:14:25,930 --> 00:14:30,250
This is the most frustrating case I have seen.

196
00:14:32,750 --> 00:14:35,950
So we share in your frustration.

197
00:14:36,750 --> 00:14:40,890
It's a blight on not only the street, but the entire community.

198
00:14:41,690 --> 00:14:45,330
And hopefully we will be able to figure out a solution.

199
00:14:48,090 --> 00:14:53,650
And as I said, our law director will have some comments on this property during his report.

200
00:14:54,410 --> 00:14:58,950
Excuse me. On the agenda tonight, we have the City Manager's contract.

201
00:14:59,230 --> 00:14:59,830
In addition.

202
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:23,240
To the surplus sale of the fire truck and declaring police equipment surplus, there are emergency ordinances for assessments due to the county auditors required submission date, assessments for mowing and new sense as well as street lighting. Pat Shivley will discuss the street lighting assessment ordinance.

203
00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:29,960
Under public hearings, we have a 24-month moratorium on data centers.

204
00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:34,740
We have the introduction of this ordinance at the last meeting.

205
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:43,500
We also have appropriation amendments, and we are finally accepting the right of way for East Wet's Road Lane.

206
00:15:44,780 --> 00:15:53,420
Law director Scott Davies will also review the ordinances related to the Valley View school system and German town Christian schools.

207
00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:05,680
We have an informative work session planned with our financial consultant to review our deep dive into capital planning budgets.

208
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:13,520
Now is budget season, we actually started budget season in June and we're in the final rounds

209
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:20,340
of meetings now, we plan on having the city budget to council by the first meeting in October

210
00:16:20,340 --> 00:16:22,320
or the first week in October.

211
00:16:24,180 --> 00:16:31,080
But also in addition to that, we've done a deep dive into the capital budgets, so we will

212
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:36,840
have that discussion or a work session in addition to the tennis court project at Courts

213
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:37,620
Your Park.

214
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,220
So I will now call on Pat Shively to review the street lighting assessment.

215
00:16:52,070 --> 00:16:56,650
Thank you for saying the under introduction is a legislation for the criminal upwards

216
00:16:56,650 --> 00:17:00,110
and emergency ordinance is the annual street lighting assessment.

217
00:17:01,090 --> 00:17:04,090
We do this once a year this time of year.

218
00:17:04,090 --> 00:17:10,330
So that it's assessed and then payment start for 2020.

219
00:17:11,310 --> 00:17:18,330
The information that I gathered is from the county on all of the parcels that have been

220
00:17:18,330 --> 00:17:21,070
city limit if you will.

221
00:17:21,470 --> 00:17:29,450
And then from there, I calculate out what would be needed for next year's budget if you will.

222
00:17:29,450 --> 00:17:42,670
So I don't get that information, so July, I mean, this is when I'm calculating everything, so that's why we put it on as an emergency in September or so.

223
00:17:43,810 --> 00:17:55,990
Those costs have not increased in the last three years or everyone out there, so that's just pretty well holding its own stuff, no increases over three years.

224
00:17:58,710 --> 00:17:59,730
Any questions?

225
00:18:01,590 --> 00:18:02,150
Thank you.

226
00:18:02,210 --> 00:18:02,610
Thank you.

227
00:18:03,550 --> 00:18:05,030
That concludes my report.

228
00:18:05,390 --> 00:18:06,170
Thank you.

229
00:18:07,230 --> 00:18:07,570
Thank you.

230
00:18:08,370 --> 00:18:09,130
Clerk's report.

231
00:18:10,030 --> 00:18:11,270
I have nothing to thank you, sir.

232
00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:11,850
Thank you.

233
00:18:12,050 --> 00:18:12,910
Thank you.

234
00:18:13,050 --> 00:18:14,410
Well, director's report.

235
00:18:15,050 --> 00:18:15,970
Thank you, Mayor Council.

236
00:18:17,990 --> 00:18:19,450
Obviously, we're aware of the issue.

237
00:18:19,570 --> 00:18:21,510
I'm going issues with 21 North Prairie.

238
00:18:22,010 --> 00:18:27,590
To be clear, we are exercising every possible thing that we can think of

239
00:18:27,590 --> 00:18:33,590
to try to get this property back in line, including both a significant amount of civil fines,

240
00:18:34,330 --> 00:18:39,990
criminal charges have been filed against the occupants and convictions that have been

241
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:46,270
had against the occupants in the property. It's obviously not going issue, but we are rest assured

242
00:18:46,270 --> 00:18:50,450
through everything I had to try and resolve it and get it back in the complaints.

243
00:18:53,250 --> 00:19:00,910
There are two ordinances on the agenda tonight, both for the purchase of 64-comstock,

244
00:19:01,070 --> 00:19:06,910
a lease associated with that, and then the sale of 64-comstock to Germantown Christian,

245
00:19:08,030 --> 00:19:17,210
the agreements are, I think, in very close to final form, with some dates to be recognized in the future,

246
00:19:17,210 --> 00:19:20,490
But those, we should be putting that to that here shortly.

247
00:19:22,770 --> 00:19:27,190
And the last thing is we did get a sort of answer where we did get a public records request

248
00:19:27,770 --> 00:19:30,670
for related to the flood cameras that are in use on Route 4.

249
00:19:30,750 --> 00:19:36,610
We complied with that request and provided all the information that's subject to the public

250
00:19:36,610 --> 00:19:38,410
records requests in the state of Ohio.

251
00:19:39,290 --> 00:19:43,230
And I think it's consistent with our neighboring jurisdictions.

252
00:19:43,230 --> 00:19:49,230
And so we've provided all that information to anyone who's asked for it, but specifically

253
00:19:49,230 --> 00:19:50,410
some reports.

254
00:19:51,650 --> 00:19:52,570
So, that's all I have.

255
00:19:53,170 --> 00:19:53,790
Thank you, sir.

256
00:19:55,410 --> 00:20:02,470
Move to the Mayor's report, bear with the meeting for the Mayor's and the manager's meeting

257
00:20:02,470 --> 00:20:04,030
start back up tomorrow night.

258
00:20:04,350 --> 00:20:09,050
This one's going to be held in May, Ms. Byr, and I plan to attend when these start coming

259
00:20:09,050 --> 00:20:12,870
back in the session, that means some resenting and falls right around the corner.

260
00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:18,810
I attended Parks Meeting last Wednesday, September 2nd in the Disabilities and extensive

261
00:20:18,810 --> 00:20:23,690
discussion on the budget was the main topic, I want to thank our manager and a finance

262
00:20:23,690 --> 00:20:28,490
director for coming and answering any questions that were had, there's a great discussion.

263
00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:32,870
I think the Parks Board has a better understanding of the budget process.

264
00:20:33,670 --> 00:20:38,890
One thing that was discussed is the future of capital improvement projects, all Parks

265
00:20:38,890 --> 00:20:45,230
property is property of the city. There's a large project that's now moving forward

266
00:20:45,230 --> 00:20:52,230
and once it comes complete, a culture community part may not be adequate in adding and we

267
00:20:52,230 --> 00:20:56,830
may be thinking of adding restroom and confession building. So that's one thing that we need

268
00:20:56,830 --> 00:21:02,550
to think about and discuss over the next couple of years. I do believe when we do the budget,

269
00:21:02,750 --> 00:21:07,970
we do a great job of looking down and in the future in five and ten year plans. But this is

270
00:21:07,970 --> 00:21:11,930
something that's a little bit different and outside of what we normally look for.

271
00:21:12,590 --> 00:21:21,210
So in that meeting, we discussed having sub funds in the major budget in setting aside

272
00:21:21,210 --> 00:21:22,990
rainy day type money.

273
00:21:23,550 --> 00:21:28,430
We've got a million dollar project coming to close here, certainly, hopefully in the next

274
00:21:28,430 --> 00:21:31,150
couple of months for our covered bridge.

275
00:21:32,270 --> 00:21:37,430
And I'd rather not let the next council have to wait, but I have to spend another million

276
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:42,230
to fix the bridge and I know that's been discussed and we are doing that and we're also doing

277
00:21:42,230 --> 00:21:47,510
that with twin crepe erosion project out there so there's something for us to think about

278
00:21:47,510 --> 00:21:53,390
and when it comes to budget ceases. The traditional Christmas in the park will happen this year

279
00:21:53,390 --> 00:21:59,350
on Saturday December 12th with a parade featuring Santa, Mrs. Claus and Skippy the elf.

280
00:22:00,130 --> 00:22:04,930
If you haven't seen that you need to come and see that. I'll double check on times. I'm pretty sure

281
00:22:04,930 --> 00:22:06,910
We're going to do it like we had in the past.

282
00:22:07,030 --> 00:22:08,610
It's starting at 6.37.

283
00:22:09,170 --> 00:22:10,290
There will be a parade.

284
00:22:10,470 --> 00:22:15,030
There was a discussion about and wanting to have the horse parade against.

285
00:22:15,110 --> 00:22:16,530
So we're going to look into that.

286
00:22:17,390 --> 00:22:19,790
And when then we have a contact, Terry Johnson.

287
00:22:20,910 --> 00:22:21,790
There's one on the floor.

288
00:22:22,010 --> 00:22:22,490
Got Terry Johnson.

289
00:22:22,970 --> 00:22:23,970
We're going to contact.

290
00:22:24,170 --> 00:22:26,110
And he's going to be in charge of that.

291
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:29,090
The MMI committee met on Tuesday, August 25th.

292
00:22:29,090 --> 00:22:29,970
That's the deeper

293
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:59,980
Topics discussed where the completion of our five-year plan and the budget and how we have been my part will be incorporated into the park system. The committee is planning a re-dedication for the park in either spring or fall of 27, and the reason being is we want to avoid any of that hot weather in the summer. Since there was no movie in the park night, scheduled this year, with the help of the community event planter Sherry Henson and administrative assistant, Will Parson, I've worked on an all-in-one

294
00:23:00,940 --> 00:23:03,740
alternative event, entitled Movie with the Mayor.

295
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:11,140
Our historic landmark by Jo Theodore has agreed to open for the city sponsored evening on Wednesday, September 23.

296
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,240
This will be during the week leading up to the Pratzel Festival, so I wanted to say,

297
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:21,200
Pratzel Festival that weekend, Saturday and Sunday, September 26, 27.

298
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:29,960
The movie to be shown is the Elvis Presley in concert movie, which will set the stage for the entertainment that they have scheduled.

299
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:36,560
this year, being right and wrong, performing as Elvis. If you've not seen him, come out and

300
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,240
see for yourself. You put on a good show and his comeback special band really completes

301
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:46,340
his act. I've heard that there may even be a special guest appearance for the movie. We

302
00:23:46,340 --> 00:23:50,960
won't know if you don't go. The door's open at 630. This is a free event and concessions

303
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:56,220
will be available for purchase. So join me in supporting our hometown businesses. I've

304
00:23:56,220 --> 00:24:03,600
a feeling the move the evening will be epic if you're an Elvis fan you understand that on Friday

305
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:09,000
September 25th at 5 p.m. in front of the city building I will proclaim the day

306
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:15,640
dolly day to recognize the humanitarian efforts of dolly part and passed away on August 25th

307
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:22,100
no matter how big her claim to fame was dolly never was ashamed of or forgot where she came from

308
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:27,700
I've got many reasons that I can say that, and I want to do this for, but show up that day

309
00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:28,860
and you can hear them.

310
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,200
What I will say is not only part of the least behind-the-body of work, and a legacy of compassion

311
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,480
that will continue to inspire people throughout the world.

312
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:41,580
Her music probably happinessed millions while her generosity changed countless flies.

313
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,020
For anyone who is worried about their tax dollars being spent on two pink ribbons placed

314
00:24:46,020 --> 00:24:50,460
in front of the city building, I assure you that you have nothing to worry about.

315
00:24:50,460 --> 00:24:53,960
the ribbons were purchased by an anonymous donor and myself.

316
00:24:54,540 --> 00:24:57,660
In a world filled with jellings, we decided to be a dolly.

317
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:04,700
I attended the Open House at the Village Flower Shop to celebrate Rodgers Retirement.

318
00:25:05,460 --> 00:25:08,640
Rodgers, thank you for your loyal years of service to our community.

319
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,680
May be blessed and enjoy every minute of it.

320
00:25:14,650 --> 00:25:17,250
On Thursday, September 10th,

321
00:25:17,390 --> 00:25:20,650
there would be a 25th anniversary, stair climb,

322
00:25:20,650 --> 00:25:23,890
that MIM is for high school for 9-11.

323
00:25:24,710 --> 00:25:26,370
Registration can be done online.

324
00:25:27,090 --> 00:25:29,010
The sign in starts at 5-15.

325
00:25:29,410 --> 00:25:31,170
The climb will start at 6.

326
00:25:31,970 --> 00:25:33,930
It will take place behind the high school

327
00:25:33,930 --> 00:25:36,270
on Belvo Road at the football field.

328
00:25:37,190 --> 00:25:40,630
Participants only on the field, it's so well-attended

329
00:25:40,630 --> 00:25:42,850
that there is no spectator room.

330
00:25:43,310 --> 00:25:45,230
I will be the one I plan to attend.

331
00:25:46,590 --> 00:25:50,630
According to the text I receive from Rompke, Rompke will be

332
00:25:50,630 --> 00:25:55,630
due to yesterday's Labor Day holiday, and I end my report with a heavy heart.

333
00:25:57,010 --> 00:26:00,430
I said, I can dullens as to the family of Charlotte Genslinger.

334
00:26:00,750 --> 00:26:05,570
Kyle, Shelley, Cole, Kyle Lee, Colin, Abby, and the great-grandkids.

335
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,080
My parents have been going for a while.

336
00:26:09,300 --> 00:26:10,960
I dad died in 1998.

337
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,420
My mom died in 1999.

338
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:17,460
All of my friends, parents didn't like mine.

339
00:26:17,860 --> 00:26:22,060
It hurts me to see them go through now what I went through back then.

340
00:26:22,060 --> 00:26:27,840
She was always kind, always thoughtful, but always thankful to me every time I saw her.

341
00:26:27,860 --> 00:26:29,280
Kyle, I love you, man.

342
00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:33,360
Now on to our council members report, Mr. Jones.

343
00:26:33,900 --> 00:26:34,380
Mr. Jones.

344
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:35,980
Before I start, I want to ask a judge.

345
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,300
Do you have a card?

346
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:38,240
I do.

347
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,760
Can I ask him to force a card?

348
00:26:39,820 --> 00:26:41,720
I teach state and local governments a clear enough.

349
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:44,080
I thought maybe you might want to come by and present it on my.

350
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:45,480
Okay.

351
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,140
I was going to play the present, my card.

352
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:47,920
Okay.

353
00:26:48,220 --> 00:26:50,280
So whenever we can do that later, so thank you very much.

354
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:56,000
So I had planned to attend the board of zoning appeals meeting last month, but I had a work conflict.

355
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,580
I'd also planned to attend the Mind Nee Valley Regional Planning Commission meeting last Thursday.

356
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:07,760
But I was taking my first vacation at Cedar Point where I probably walked about 20 miles a three days and read about 100 rollercoasters.

357
00:27:08,460 --> 00:27:13,980
It was very not busy at the park, so anyway it was a great time.

358
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:19,520
Spend a lot of time, though, this past month with what I call the Silver Swimmers.

359
00:27:20,220 --> 00:27:28,240
I appreciate all that will, and the other staff at the park, and the park deal with our

360
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:28,680
pool.

361
00:27:29,380 --> 00:27:33,800
I've made some friends, a swimming, got a lot of good exercise.

362
00:27:34,300 --> 00:27:39,040
My wife normally does talk a lot about government, but she keeps talking about how great

363
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:46,980
is that those of our age in order can go down and before it's pool opens, swim, for

364
00:27:46,980 --> 00:27:51,920
an hour or more. Take a shower and just I've met a lot of interesting people. The same time

365
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:57,420
I watched and saw the the news slide. That was interesting and I didn't get hit by anything.

366
00:27:57,660 --> 00:28:03,500
He pipes everything. I'm not a swimist that was great. But it was really, it's great and she keeps saying

367
00:28:03,500 --> 00:28:08,200
make she mentioned that next year we want to have that again because it's a great way for older

368
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,340
individuals to get exercise and also make friends.

369
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,820
There was also, it was brought up about property maintenance interest, probably because

370
00:28:17,820 --> 00:28:21,960
and my five plus years on city, four plus years on city council.

371
00:28:22,420 --> 00:28:25,580
I've only done case work maybe three times.

372
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,740
I want to thank the police department also, Kelly.

373
00:28:27,980 --> 00:28:28,900
I have a neighbor.

374
00:28:29,300 --> 00:28:31,360
Again, as a city council member, I could be very careful how

375
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:33,940
I interact dealing with issues.

376
00:28:33,940 --> 00:28:40,820
but there was a property maintenance slash trust pass in slash other type of legal issues

377
00:28:40,820 --> 00:28:44,680
in the model of lawyer. I don't play long television but it's a former property maintenance

378
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:49,960
zone in official city planner. I could tell you I had some advice for our neighbor and since

379
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:55,360
there was a cross street I got with the more involved to be with an idea but the degree of professionalism

380
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,300
especially by the police department and dealing and I think we're on the road to get in that issue

381
00:28:59,300 --> 00:29:07,440
taking care of. So you never know about these issues until they come into your street,

382
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:15,480
your neighborhood, and it's glad to have the city there to help. And I believe. Oh,

383
00:29:17,500 --> 00:29:21,540
the data center. So the work, I've done more research, standardized, and you hear about

384
00:29:21,540 --> 00:29:24,840
a Miami spur of the other cities. Now I'm getting talking about dealing with more

385
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:29,860
on data centers. As I did more work, at questions last week I was out of last month. I was

386
00:29:29,860 --> 00:29:33,580
kind of confused about the approach that was taken on the ordinance, but now it makes much

387
00:29:33,580 --> 00:29:38,300
more sense, especially from a legal standpoint. And whether the state of Ohio decides to do anything,

388
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:46,200
it's amazing just in the last month how much this issue has gotten traction, like lots of traction.

389
00:29:46,540 --> 00:29:51,640
Some glad that were despite what even with that state of Ohio may have preemption in the future

390
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,540
So we've got, we've got, we've got, we've got, we seem to be able to have the game, especially

391
00:29:56,540 --> 00:29:59,520
compared to many municipalities in Ohio, so I appreciate that.

392
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,100
And that will not close with that. Thanks very much.

393
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,240
It does seem like it's rollin' downhill, doesn't it?

394
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:04,800
It's rollin' someone.

395
00:30:05,380 --> 00:30:06,880
Thank you. This is good.

396
00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:07,540
Excuse me.

397
00:30:07,780 --> 00:30:08,460
Thank you, Mayor.

398
00:30:09,660 --> 00:30:12,760
I will attend the cemetery for meeting next Monday.

399
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,160
And at this time, I'd like to just remind everyone

400
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:21,220
as we, a lot of people, change their decorations from summer to fall

401
00:30:21,220 --> 00:30:24,520
and then fall to Christmas decorations at the cemetery.

402
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,300
If you will put your name on the bottom of it

403
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:35,520
gets blown off or something happens to it and the workers they're fine that they will replace it to the proper place.

404
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:41,040
Otherwise you're going to lose your decoration because they don't know where it does, so.

405
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,380
I'd like to read a little information about our upcoming loving.

406
00:30:46,180 --> 00:30:51,020
The German Town Seniors Center provides health, educational and recreational programs,

407
00:30:51,020 --> 00:30:58,840
the seniors in maintaining vital independent lives as well as serves the community as an emergency

408
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:04,880
shelter and polling location. This is pertaining to a one-not-renewal

409
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:10,760
levy that will be on the ballot end of member. There are live-rived activities for our seniors,

410
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:17,800
such as physical fitness activities, lunch activities, social activities, best trips, crafts,

411
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,180
open computer and game activities.

412
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,740
The Center also hosts health screens, health fairs,

413
00:31:24,820 --> 00:31:27,440
craft fairs, music events, community events,

414
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,640
free tax service, and in the form of the seminars.

415
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:35,780
The Center has become a very focal point for seniors

416
00:31:35,780 --> 00:31:39,500
and their families to find information concerning services,

417
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,580
available in the Montgomery County.

418
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,260
The seniors also have numerous opportunities

419
00:31:44,260 --> 00:31:48,200
to volunteer their time and their talents there.

420
00:31:48,660 --> 00:31:52,500
To continue Operation the Center and assisting our community seniors,

421
00:31:53,300 --> 00:31:55,480
German Town and German Township,

422
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,860
a official set placed a one-mill renewable levy on the November

423
00:31:59,860 --> 00:32:01,020
of their ballot.

424
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,920
This is the continuation and the present one-mill levy

425
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,880
and it's not a new tax.

426
00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:10,640
So remember, it's not going to raise your taxes.

427
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:25,500
And with that I'd like to encourage everyone to attend a press office vote to one of our nicest activities all summer, one of our biggest activities all summer, and we're going to all pray for good weather, and that's all I have there.

428
00:32:25,500 --> 00:32:29,600
World Famous. Thank you, Mr. Good. Yes. Mr. King.

429
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:36,000
Thanks, Mayor. There were quite a few things that have already touched on that I'll skip over.

430
00:32:36,060 --> 00:32:41,500
Well, and I do have to double do is I also want to Roger's retirement open house.

431
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:48,840
Congratulations, Roger. His retirement and successfully running a business for half a century.

432
00:32:50,260 --> 00:32:56,060
The good news is that we are retaining the village flower shop in town.

433
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:01,080
The new owner, Brooke Clark, will be opening up across the street.

434
00:33:02,220 --> 00:33:08,320
I was there today working on trying to get things ready for the cooler that she'll need installed.

435
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:15,120
But we're excited to have her taken over the business and staying in town and Roger will be.

436
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:22,500
If you're somebody who was in there talking to Roger a lot, you can catch him there until then the year he's staying around to mentor Brooke

437
00:33:23,220 --> 00:33:27,360
Share some of this experience of this 50 years in the forest game

438
00:33:28,420 --> 00:33:38,760
Also at that same address 40 North Maine the value performing arts boosters are running a fundraiser that should start the middle of this month run till the end of next

439
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,120
They are renting out

440
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:53,020
costumes to raise funds for the things they do and the building they're looking at trying

441
00:33:53,020 --> 00:33:58,260
to accomplish. So stop by and check that out. That's all I have. Thank you.

442
00:33:58,860 --> 00:34:04,200
You've just got everybody above. And if you missed out on the open house, let me just tell you

443
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:09,340
if you missed out on the spread. It was very nice. It was very nice. It's not just a joke.

444
00:34:09,340 --> 00:34:14,780
When Sunday and he said he thought he would work harder recently than he had to be for

445
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:21,740
Right now, they're still running across the street, you know, and they need something as the coolers not in and so

446
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,540
Yeah, but everybody's really happy. Rogers gonna get to retire

447
00:34:27,540 --> 00:34:33,780
We get to retain the florist and we're gonna have a new shop hopefully up in the next few months in Rogers building

448
00:34:34,860 --> 00:34:36,440
It's all in the long pre-load

449
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,860
Thank you, Mayor.

450
00:34:40,300 --> 00:34:41,540
City beautiful for meeting you, Matt.

451
00:34:41,820 --> 00:34:43,200
Back on August 13th.

452
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:44,320
It was a short meeting.

453
00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:48,120
We looked into the new yard signs for decoration.

454
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:54,060
Dicks up awards, different awards, more friendly for the maintenance guys that put

455
00:34:54,060 --> 00:34:56,220
in the ground, kind of some of the chosen current ones.

456
00:34:56,660 --> 00:34:59,420
Hopefully we have some new yard signs here.

457
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:05,440
Also looked at the Halloween coloring contest for kids.

458
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:10,880
It's going to be very great, so hopefully there'll be some kind of council after Halloween.

459
00:35:12,060 --> 00:35:20,300
We'll leave it on the next, not the, this may be an October, we'll start with the Christmas tree basket and it's a certain Christmas decoration.

460
00:35:21,900 --> 00:35:28,040
So, the little one next meeting is September the morning at 6 p.m., should be on the city hall.

461
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:38,740
whole format back on August 19th. Remnews down a little bit from last year. The weather hasn't been nearly what it was last year last year.

462
00:35:38,740 --> 00:35:47,240
We just had a peak, weather year. But even though the weather isn't as down, I think we're still in line with our financial goals.

463
00:35:47,820 --> 00:35:54,020
So wait and see how that plays out, slides in, that's an amazing, amazing feat at the end of the year.

464
00:35:54,020 --> 00:35:57,980
So we'd definitely get all your next year to enjoy that.

465
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,580
And then we just discussed ways increase poll passes.

466
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:02,560
We've been on this.

467
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,000
He's increased in quite a bit.

468
00:36:04,900 --> 00:36:06,140
So kind of general discussion.

469
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,400
Next meeting will be September the 16th at 7 p.m.

470
00:36:11,700 --> 00:36:12,200
You're sitting home.

471
00:36:12,860 --> 00:36:13,500
As I have.

472
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:14,940
Thank you, Mr. Reed.

473
00:36:15,060 --> 00:36:19,100
Unfortunately, we had several impromptu pools pop up this summer.

474
00:36:19,340 --> 00:36:21,120
Hopefully that won't happen again next year.

475
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,660
Mr. Wawster.

476
00:36:24,540 --> 00:36:29,080
I think most of everything has been covered here so far tonight. Very good report, Mayor.

477
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,980
I will say this past week.

478
00:36:32,660 --> 00:36:41,240
I was out at Marathon on West Market getting gas in my car right when the random wall

479
00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:43,320
of wind appeared in town.

480
00:36:44,100 --> 00:36:48,860
And the dust from the field across the street was so thick you couldn't see this in a

481
00:36:48,860 --> 00:36:55,020
So I can't imagine how many things were blowing around over there, probably very important to have your name on those things.

482
00:36:55,340 --> 00:36:56,840
But on my way back in the town,

483
00:36:57,780 --> 00:36:59,860
there was a tree in West Market,

484
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,020
and I was trying to get back to my house.

485
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,820
There was a tree across Malnut. There was a tree across Plano,

486
00:37:05,020 --> 00:37:06,200
there was a tree across Maine.

487
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,020
All in the south side,

488
00:37:08,020 --> 00:37:09,780
and I'm sure that repeated all over town.

489
00:37:10,340 --> 00:37:12,840
But within probably five minutes of talking with Eugene Jonathan,

490
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:16,540
the skits deer back up comes rolling down the street

491
00:37:16,540 --> 00:37:21,610
guys did an excellent job cleaning everything up so just thanks to them. I know that was

492
00:37:22,700 --> 00:37:27,810
that was a Friday afternoon after they had all gone home for like a week in and so

493
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:29,980
you hate to hate to bring them.

494
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:36,000
There's guys out when they've started a weekend but they did a great job. Always quick to get things cleaned up.

495
00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:38,700
That is all I have tonight. Thank you.

496
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:41,420
Thank you, Brian. Yeah, thank you, Chief Ford. We're not leaving.

497
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,480
We're making rounds with Jonathan and his crews to thank you all again.

498
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,060
