00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:46,650
Thank you, everyone. Roll call, please. Mayor Johnson, here. Jones, here. Cougal, here. Cune, here. Reed, here. Radick, Laszeg, here.

2
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:59,020
All right. First, public recognition. I have a couple items for us tonight. From the fire in the EMS department. Rachel, the athlete was the winner.

3
00:00:59,020 --> 00:01:06,760
of the hog raffle. Third place winner was Jeff Nester and Andrea Geckler won the Cincinnati

4
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:14,680
Reds tickets and thank you to everyone over 250 participants that registered for their

5
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:22,400
inaugural 5K mile walk. Participants came as far as Pennsylvania nor in this loggy and we

6
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,740
thank them for participating. Does anyone have anyone else for a public

7
00:01:27,740 --> 00:01:28,640
recognition to see.

8
00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:36,040
All right, thank you. Citizens form. Citizens form. Anyone

9
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,580
would like to address council, please step to the podium, state your name and address for

10
00:01:39,580 --> 00:01:39,920
the record.

11
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,020
Good evening, council. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to introduce

12
00:01:52,020 --> 00:01:56,400
myself to you for a couple of minutes. I am Judge Nicholas Suleyne Montgomery County

13
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:01,100
juvenile court. I'm touring essentially Montgomery County and I'm finding out just how big it

14
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:06,260
is introducing myself to councils and boards and everyone so that we can at least get to

15
00:02:06,260 --> 00:02:07,580
to see each other face-to-face.

16
00:02:08,180 --> 00:02:10,160
A little bit of background about myself.

17
00:02:10,700 --> 00:02:14,380
I started out after I graduated from university

18
00:02:14,380 --> 00:02:16,060
of Dayton with my engineering degree.

19
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:18,320
After I went to law school, I came back

20
00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:21,680
and was a assistant prosecutor from Montgomery County

21
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,260
for about nine years doing criminal trial work.

22
00:02:24,740 --> 00:02:26,940
And for the past 23 years, I've been in

23
00:02:26,940 --> 00:02:28,780
Domestic Relations Court as a magistrate,

24
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,480
dealing with families and a custody and parenting time

25
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,220
and everything that families can have a dispute about.

26
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:35,480
And that's certainly quite a bit.

27
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,140
And I'm now bringing that focus on family experience to juvenile court.

28
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:45,740
I'm here because juvenile court has many partners on juvenile justice issues,

29
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:52,040
your schools, your police department, and obviously this council and the citizens that you represent.

30
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,100
I'm here to begin the process of listening. I'm bringing fresh eyes to juvenile court.

31
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,180
I want to hear people's concerns about juvenile justice issues.

32
00:03:02,180 --> 00:03:16,220
I want to hear about people and their interactions with the court, I want to hear what we're doing good and if there are things we can improve on, I want to hear about those two and I'm hoping with some of this kind of communication and introduction we can have

33
00:03:17,380 --> 00:03:25,200
communications and cooperation down the road so that the shared issues on juvenile justice we can make some progress on.

34
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:34,920
This is obviously my first time addressing you, but I certainly hope it will be my last, so just thank you for the opportunity to spend a couple of minutes to introduce myself to you.

35
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,620
Thank you again very much.

36
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:37,860
Thank you for stopping.

37
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:38,540
No, thank you.

38
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,680
Anyone else?

39
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,880
My name is Diane Jensen on I am a resident at 20 Prairie Place.

40
00:03:58,460 --> 00:04:02,880
I have lived there and I'm at us for 25 years and I've been a resident at Germantown for over 30.

41
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:12,540
I'm here tonight to formally address the ongoing and serious concerns associated with the property located at 21 Prairie Place, including persistent property maintenance issues, safety concerns,

42
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:18,680
instances involving an unleash dog and what my family believes has become a padded of targeted harassment and retaliation.

43
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,580
These issues have continued for several years despite repeated attempts to address them through appropriate channels.

44
00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:33,440
For approximately 4 years, we have contacted the city regarding ongoing concerns involving trash, miscellaneous items, vehicles, and other property maintenance issues at 21.

45
00:04:34,140 --> 00:04:44,400
I want to acknowledge Mike Roseberry, who has worked very diligently over the past 2 years to address some of these concerns, despite those efforts, the property at 21 continues to experience reoccurring maintenance problems.

46
00:04:45,460 --> 00:04:49,720
Following Senate action to mo the property last year, the residents has reportedly placed

47
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,220
additional toys and miscellaneous items and other debris throughout the yard within

48
00:04:53,220 --> 00:04:58,140
approximately two days. This year, corn was planted in the front yard. The corn has since

49
00:04:58,140 --> 00:05:02,740
died and fallen on to our property. On Sunday, September 6, my husband moved to the fallen

50
00:05:02,740 --> 00:05:08,620
corn back onto the property. The residents then contacted the police resulting in my husband

51
00:05:08,620 --> 00:05:12,660
having to provide a report. We were advised that the matter would ultimately be referred

52
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:14,220
to the prosecutor for decision.

53
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:19,360
The neighboring residences have continued to moan in areas extending onto our property in

54
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,800
an apparent effort to get as close to the corn as possible.

55
00:05:22,340 --> 00:05:25,540
This is particularly concerning because there is an existing trespass order.

56
00:05:26,260 --> 00:05:30,560
Although the residents recently spent approximately three days cleaning the property, our experience

57
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,120
over the past several years has been that improvements have not been maintained for an extended period

58
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,180
and have historically deteriorated again within approximately six weeks.

59
00:05:38,180 --> 00:05:50,820
I did a little research this morning. I was able to find a codified ordinance. It's 1130.03.2 that states that the premises and exterior property shall be maintained free from weeds or plant growth in excess of 8 inches.

60
00:05:51,720 --> 00:06:01,900
All not just weeds shall be prohibited. Weed shall be defined as grasses, annual plants, and vegetation other than trees or shrubs provided. However, this term shall not include cultivated flowers and gardens.

61
00:06:02,420 --> 00:06:10,860
The reoccurring nature of these conditions has negatively affected the appearance and quality of our neighborhood and has required continued involvement from city personnel and other authorities.

62
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,020
In addition to the property maintenance issues, there have been serious concerns involving one of the residents' dogs.

63
00:06:16,580 --> 00:06:22,060
In April of 2021, the residents' dogs dug underneath my fence and entered our property where it bit my son.

64
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,740
At the time, the owners stated that they would pay the resulting hospital expenses but did not do so.

65
00:06:26,740 --> 00:06:32,600
The owner has since claimed that the incident was never reported, however, I still have the case number provided by the ARC.

66
00:06:33,260 --> 00:06:35,960
Last year, the same dog was again loose and roaming throughout our neighborhood.

67
00:06:36,660 --> 00:06:42,160
When concerns were raised in our neighborhood group, the residents has responded that we were lying in state that the dog was friendly.

68
00:06:42,660 --> 00:06:45,500
On July 7th of this year, the same dog was again loose.

69
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:52,420
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.

70
00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:57,620
The residents continue to allow one of their dogs to remain loose and unleashed in the front yard.

71
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,040
Given the previous bite incident and subsequent instances involving the same dog,

72
00:07:02,260 --> 00:07:05,860
I am extremely concerned about the safety of my family and the other residents in the neighborhood.

73
00:07:07,060 --> 00:07:11,780
Our family believes that the many incidents directed toward us are connected to our efforts to report

74
00:07:11,780 --> 00:07:14,560
property maintenance and code enforcement concerns to the city.

75
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:20,100
The situation has escalated to the point that we were required to retain an attorney to issue a season to sis letter.

76
00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:22,600
despite that effort the behavior has continued.

77
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,080
Examples, on June 12th, 2025, while my husband was outside shooting basketball, he was

78
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,580
screened out in falsely accused of serious criminal conduct, including being called a pedophile.

79
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,580
We have a recording of this incident.

80
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,820
On March 8th of this year, a resident yelled insults at my son.

81
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,840
On March 12th, the resident directed aggressive and offensive language toward both of my husband

82
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:43,480
and my son.

83
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,420
These incidents have contributed to an increasingly hostile environment for my family.

84
00:07:48,420 --> 00:07:56,800
Most recently, a camera was directed toward, directly toward a front window of our home, creating a significant concern regarding our privacy.

85
00:07:57,340 --> 00:08:03,640
We contacted the police regarding this incident, although I was advised that there would be a follow-up I have not received any further information regarding the matter.

86
00:08:04,260 --> 00:08:07,800
There's also frequent yelling and verbal hostility directed toward our family.

87
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,320
These incidents occur on a reoccurring basis, often at least once a week.

88
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,960
We meet every effort not to engage with these neighbors.

89
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,680
We do not seek confrontation and we generally ignore the comments and may be your direct

90
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:19,280
it toward us.

91
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,020
The situation does not appear to be an isolated disagreement between neighboring households.

92
00:08:24,020 --> 00:08:27,940
Before our family became involved, the residents have reportedly targeted of previous neighbors

93
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:28,960
at 13 prairie.

94
00:08:29,260 --> 00:08:33,200
I was informed that there have been multiple reports concerning their conduct, while I cannot

95
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,420
personally verify reports made by the previous residents the history is concerning when they

96
00:08:37,420 --> 00:08:41,020
considered alongside the repeated incidents our family has personally experienced.

97
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:45,960
This is only a brief summary of what it has been like for our family to live next to this property.

98
00:08:46,420 --> 00:08:49,700
For years, we have attempted to address these matters through appropriate channels.

99
00:08:50,140 --> 00:08:53,900
We have contacted the city, cooperated with law enforcement, when incidents has occurred

100
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:58,660
and sought legal assistance when the harassment continued. However, the situation is gone beyond

101
00:08:58,660 --> 00:09:03,100
what I believe be considered an ordinary neighborhood dispute. We are dealing with reoccurring

102
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:07,700
property maintenance concerns, safety issues, animal control concerns, repeated verbal incidents,

103
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:12,900
and conduct that we believe has been directed at our family and retaliation for reporting code violations.

104
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:20,780
I'm asking the city to use every lawful tool and enforcement mechanism available to address the ongoing property maintenance and code violations,

105
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:27,040
investigating the safety concerns and take appropriate actions to help restore safety, peace, and the quality of our neighborhood.

106
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:31,040
Our family has lived here for 25 years and in Germantown for more than 30.

107
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,060
We care deeply about our home, our neighborhood, and our community.

108
00:09:34,060 --> 00:09:39,900
We simply want the same basic consideration, safety, and quality of life that every resident should be able to expect.

109
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,280
Thank you for your time.

110
00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:43,680
Thank you, thank you.

111
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,620
Hello, my name is Chelsea Dunway, and I reside at 17 Prairie Police for nearly three years with my family.

112
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,540
I live at the property with my two kids, my significant other, my kids are 16 and nine.

113
00:10:08,540 --> 00:10:15,760
One of my biggest concerns currently is a involves a skeleton decoration in the front yard, a 21 Prairie that

114
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:21,580
to be making an obscene hand gesture towards the neighboring property at 20 Prairie Place.

115
00:10:23,060 --> 00:10:27,020
My understanding is that this gesture has specifically been directed towards the occupants

116
00:10:27,020 --> 00:10:32,760
of 20 Prairie Place and there's video documentation available regarding this matter.

117
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,720
As a parent, I'm concerned about my children being exposed to the type of display on a daily basis.

118
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,560
I also believe it is inappropriate for a residential neighborhood where children regularly walk

119
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:42,940
and play.

120
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,520
My most serious concern involves the dogs at 21 Prairie Place.

121
00:10:48,060 --> 00:10:52,200
My daughter was previously attacked by a dog not in this neighborhood and is still dealing

122
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,680
with aftermaths of the incident.

123
00:10:54,560 --> 00:11:00,140
I am particularly concerned about the situation involving dogs that are repeatedly loose or

124
00:11:00,140 --> 00:11:00,700
unrestrained.

125
00:11:01,380 --> 00:11:06,040
I have contacted the German town Non-Amergency Line and the dog warden regarding the dogs.

126
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,580
Most recently after the dog warden came to the property, I personally spoke with the dog

127
00:11:10,580 --> 00:11:16,120
warden about the situation, about the dog being routinely kept unleashed in the front yard

128
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,740
and roaming the neighborhood. What concerns me the most is shortly after the dog warden left

129
00:11:20,740 --> 00:11:26,240
the property, the daughter at 21 Prairie Place brought the dog back outside unleashed.

130
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:32,780
This made me concerned that the issue was continuing despite the recent involvement of the dog warden.

131
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:37,980
I personally observe the dogs digging under the fence and getting out of the enclosed area.

132
00:11:37,980 --> 00:11:42,300
I've also observed the dogs outside in the front yard without being properly restrained.

133
00:11:42,900 --> 00:11:47,740
Additionally, I've been informed by Diane that her son has been bit by one of their

134
00:11:47,740 --> 00:11:50,560
dogs, which is what has raised more concern for me as well.

135
00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:55,300
My concern is not that the resident's own dogs.

136
00:11:55,420 --> 00:11:59,480
My concern is that the potential safety risks created when the dogs are repeatedly available

137
00:12:00,340 --> 00:12:04,260
to leave the enclosed property or remain unleashed in the front yard.

138
00:12:04,260 --> 00:12:13,500
I regularly walk my dogs in the neighborhood, and I do not want my children, my dogs, or anyone else's children or pets to be injured, given my daughter's prior experience with dog attacks.

139
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,060
This is an issue that's significant concern my family.

140
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:26,600
I am also concerned about the current condition and appearance of the property, and if a potential it may have on surrounding property values.

141
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:32,140
The condition of the neighboring properties has reached the point where I'm in fair set even how people come to my home.

142
00:12:32,660 --> 00:12:38,100
host my kids' soccer team or even have deliveries made because it's been brought

143
00:12:38,100 --> 00:12:41,280
up multiple times. This includes family members.

144
00:12:43,620 --> 00:12:46,120
I should be I should be able to

145
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,380
feel comfortable inviting people in my home without feeling embarrassed or

146
00:12:49,380 --> 00:12:53,340
concerned about what they will say when they arrive. Our home is where I live, raise

147
00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:57,340
our kids and spend our lives. The ongoing condition of the property has

148
00:12:57,340 --> 00:13:01,860
negatively affected our enjoyment and pride in our own home. I have also been

149
00:13:01,860 --> 00:13:06,180
advise that the current conditions and appearance of 21 prior place could make it more difficult

150
00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:12,580
for me to sell my home. It could negatively affect its value. My family has discussed

151
00:13:12,580 --> 00:13:15,920
the possibility of moving all that we've only been here three years.

152
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:19,420
I do have pictures

153
00:13:19,420 --> 00:13:22,880
of the skulls and anybody would like it, but I do appreciate your guys' time in listening

154
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:23,400
dark concerns.

155
00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:26,800
Thank you.

156
00:13:30,470 --> 00:13:31,910
But anyone else select this

157
00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:32,690
Okay,

158
00:13:41,050 --> 00:13:45,730
at this time we'll close citizens forum and we'll move into the manager's report.

159
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,720
Good evening, Mayor and manager, Mayor and Councillor, sorry.

160
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,040
Our law director has some comments on 21 Prairie.

161
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:13,080
We meet, well we probably talk daily about this property as a staff and we met as recently

162
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:23,800
is Friday on this. It's incredibly frustrating in my 44 years of local government, all of which

163
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:29,540
have been involved with property maintenance. This is the most frustrating case I have seen.

164
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:40,780
So we share in your frustration. It's a blight on not only the street, but the entire community.

165
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,140
And hopefully, we will be able to figure out a solution.

166
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:53,200
And as I said, our law director will have some comments on this property during his report.

167
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:54,720
Excuse me.

168
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:58,740
On the agenda tonight, we have the City Manager's contract.

169
00:14:58,740 --> 00:14:59,760
In addition,

170
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,680
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 nuisance as well as street lighting. Pat Shively will discuss the street lighting assessment ordinance. Under public hearings, we have a 24-month moratorium on data centers.

171
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,520
We have the introduction of this ordinance at the last meeting.

172
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:40,320
We also have appropriation amendments, and we are finally accepting the right of

173
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,200
way for east-west road lane.

174
00:15:45,130 --> 00:15:50,500
Law director Scott Davies will also review the ordinances related to the value-view school

175
00:15:50,500 --> 00:15:53,080
system and Germantown Christian schools.

176
00:15:53,080 --> 00:16:05,360
We have an informative work session planned with our financial consultant to review our deep dive into capital planning budgets.

177
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:14,800
Now is budget season. We actually started budget season in June, and we're in the final rounds of meetings now.

178
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:22,300
We plan on having the city budget to counsel by the first meeting in October or the first week in October

179
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:29,500
But also in addition to that we've done a deep dive into the capital budgets. So

180
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:37,080
We will have that discussion during work session in addition to the tennis court project at Kircher Park

181
00:16:38,180 --> 00:16:43,080
So I will now call on Pat Shiveley to review the street lighting assessment

182
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:58,780
Your intervention is a legislation for the annual emergency ordinance is the annual

183
00:16:58,780 --> 00:17:00,000
street lighting assessment.

184
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:08,860
We do this once a year, this time of year, so that it's assessed and then payments start

185
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,640
for 2027.

186
00:17:11,700 --> 00:17:17,680
The information that I gathered is from the county on all of the households that within

187
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,780
the city limit if you will.

188
00:17:20,780 --> 00:17:29,080
And then from there, I calculate out what would be needed for next year's budget if you will.

189
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:34,440
So I don't get that information until July.

190
00:17:34,740 --> 00:17:37,980
And that means August is when I'm calculating everything.

191
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,640
So it's when we put it on as an emergency in September or so.

192
00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:50,180
Those costs have not increased in the last three years for everyone out there.

193
00:17:50,180 --> 00:17:54,220
So that's just pretty well holding in silence of knowing

194
00:17:54,220 --> 00:17:55,760
increases over three years.

195
00:17:56,060 --> 00:17:56,880
So any

196
00:17:59,150 --> 00:17:59,490
questions?

197
00:18:00,830 --> 00:18:00,910
No?

198
00:18:01,450 --> 00:18:01,750
Thank you.

199
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:02,430
Thank you.

200
00:18:02,430 --> 00:18:02,650
Thank you.

201
00:18:02,830 --> 00:18:03,110
Thank you.

202
00:18:03,330 --> 00:18:04,850
That concludes my report.

203
00:18:05,090 --> 00:18:06,530
Thank you.

204
00:18:06,890 --> 00:18:07,510
Thank you.

205
00:18:07,550 --> 00:18:07,730
Thank you, ma'am.

206
00:18:07,810 --> 00:18:08,950
It's a close report.

207
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:11,150
I have nothing to thank you, sir.

208
00:18:11,490 --> 00:18:11,730
Thank you.

209
00:18:11,970 --> 00:18:12,310
Thank you.

210
00:18:12,690 --> 00:18:13,590
Hello, directors.

211
00:18:13,810 --> 00:18:15,810
Thank you, Mayor Counsel.

212
00:18:17,810 --> 00:18:20,310
Obviously, we're aware of the issue ongoing issues of 21

213
00:18:20,310 --> 00:18:26,710
when you're with Prairie to be clear we are exercising every possible thing that we

214
00:18:26,710 --> 00:18:32,250
can think of to try to get this property back in line including both a significant amount

215
00:18:32,250 --> 00:18:39,470
of civil funds, criminal charges have been filed against the occupants of the and convictions

216
00:18:39,470 --> 00:18:44,170
that have been had against the occupants of the property. It's obviously an ongoing issue

217
00:18:44,170 --> 00:18:49,470
but we are rest assured throwing everything out at the try and resolve it and get it back

218
00:18:49,470 --> 00:18:50,150
in the compliance.

219
00:18:53,070 --> 00:18:58,850
There are two ordinances on the agenda tonight, both for the purchase

220
00:18:58,850 --> 00:19:06,250
of 64 Comstock, Elise associated with that, and then the sale of 64 Comstock to Germantown

221
00:19:06,250 --> 00:19:16,490
Christian. The agreements are, I think, very close to final form with some dates to be recognized

222
00:19:16,490 --> 00:19:20,110
in the future, but those we should be putting that to bed here shortly.

223
00:19:22,450 --> 00:19:26,970
And the last thing is we did get a surveillance aware, we did get a public records request

224
00:19:26,970 --> 00:19:30,530
for related to the flock cameras that are in use on Route 4.

225
00:19:30,730 --> 00:19:35,690
We complied with that request and provided all the information that's subject to the

226
00:19:36,210 --> 00:19:38,110
public records request in the state of Ohio.

227
00:19:39,010 --> 00:19:45,310
And I think it's consistent with our neighboring jurisdictions and so we've provided all that

228
00:19:45,310 --> 00:19:50,170
information to anyone who's asked for it, but specifically some of the

229
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:58,590
important. So that's all I have. Thank you, sir. Move to the mayor's report. Bear

230
00:19:58,590 --> 00:20:03,450
with the meeting for the mayor's and managers meeting. Start back up tomorrow

231
00:20:03,450 --> 00:20:08,310
night. This one's going to be held in Miami's bird. I plan to attend when these

232
00:20:08,310 --> 00:20:12,090
start coming back into session that means some resending and falls right around

233
00:20:12,090 --> 00:20:16,890
corner. I attended the park's meeting last Wednesday September 2nd in the

234
00:20:16,890 --> 00:20:21,670
municipal building. An extensive discussion on the budget was the main topic. I

235
00:20:21,670 --> 00:20:25,530
want to thank our manager and our finance director for coming and answering

236
00:20:25,530 --> 00:20:29,850
any questions that we had. There's a great discussion. I think the park's board has a

237
00:20:29,850 --> 00:20:35,270
better understanding of the budget process. One thing that was discussed is the

238
00:20:35,270 --> 00:20:40,510
future of capital improvement projects. All park's property is property of the

239
00:20:40,510 --> 00:20:47,050
city. There is a large project that's now moving forward. And once it comes

240
00:20:47,050 --> 00:20:52,310
complete, the creature community part may not be adequate in adding and we may

241
00:20:52,310 --> 00:20:55,970
be thinking of adding restroom and concession building. So that's one thing

242
00:20:55,970 --> 00:21:01,150
that we need to think about and discuss over the next couple of years. I do

243
00:21:01,150 --> 00:21:04,610
believe when we do the budget, we do a great job of looking down and then the

244
00:21:04,610 --> 00:21:08,890
future in five and ten year plans. But this is something that's a little bit

245
00:21:08,890 --> 00:21:15,670
different and outside of what we normally look for. So in that meeting we discussed having sub

246
00:21:16,630 --> 00:21:24,350
funds in the major budget and setting aside a rainy day type money. We've got a million dollar

247
00:21:24,350 --> 00:21:30,910
project coming to close here soon, hopefully in the next couple months for our covered bridge.

248
00:21:31,650 --> 00:21:37,710
And I'd rather not let the next council have to wait to have to spend another million dollars

249
00:21:37,710 --> 00:21:42,530
to fix the bridge. And I know that's been discussed and we are doing that. We're also doing that with

250
00:21:42,530 --> 00:21:48,550
Twin Creek erosion project out there. So it's something for us to think about when it comes to budget

251
00:21:48,550 --> 00:21:55,470
seasons. The traditional Christmas in the park will happen this year on Saturday, December 12th

252
00:21:55,470 --> 00:22:01,250
with a parade featuring Santa, Mrs. Claus, and Skippy the Elf. If you haven't seen that, you need to come

253
00:22:01,250 --> 00:22:06,410
to see that. I'll double check on times. I'm pretty sure we're going to do it like we had in the

254
00:22:06,410 --> 00:22:11,570
the past is starting at 6.30 or 7. There will be a parade. There was a discussion about

255
00:22:11,570 --> 00:22:17,450
and wanting to have the horse parade again, so we're going to look into that. And when

256
00:22:17,450 --> 00:22:23,350
now we have a contact, Terry Johnson, this one, we've got Terry Johnson that we're going

257
00:22:23,350 --> 00:22:28,730
to contact and he's going to be in charge of that. The MMI committee met on Tuesday, August

258
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:34,010
25th at the Depot. Topics discussed where the completion of our five-year plan and the

259
00:22:34,010 --> 00:22:38,590
budget and how may my park will be incorporated into the park system the

260
00:22:38,590 --> 00:22:43,490
committee is planning a re-dedication for the park any spring or fall of

261
00:22:43,490 --> 00:22:47,790
27 and the reason being is we want to avoid any of that hot weather in the

262
00:22:47,790 --> 00:22:51,150
summer. Since there was no movie in the park night

263
00:22:51,150 --> 00:22:56,530
scheduled this year with the help of community event planner Sherry Henson and

264
00:22:56,530 --> 00:23:02,130
administrative assistant Will Parson I worked on an alternative event in

265
00:23:02,130 --> 00:23:08,070
title movie with the mayor. Our historic landmark, the Bige theater has agreed to open for the city

266
00:23:08,070 --> 00:23:14,250
sponsored evening on Wednesday, September 23rd. This will be during the week leading up to the

267
00:23:14,250 --> 00:23:19,370
pretzel festival. So I wanted to say pretzel festival that weekend, Saturday and Sunday, September

268
00:23:19,370 --> 00:23:27,570
26th, 27th. The movie to be shown is the Elvis Presley in concert movie, which will set the stage

269
00:23:27,570 --> 00:23:30,570
for the entertainment that they have scheduled this year,

270
00:23:30,730 --> 00:23:33,410
being Ryan Roth performing as Elvis.

271
00:23:34,050 --> 00:23:37,210
If you've not seen him, come out and see for yourself.

272
00:23:37,530 --> 00:23:39,290
He puts on a good show and has come back,

273
00:23:39,410 --> 00:23:41,690
special band really completes his act.

274
00:23:42,370 --> 00:23:44,890
I've heard that there may even be a special guest appearance

275
00:23:44,890 --> 00:23:45,490
for the movie.

276
00:23:46,090 --> 00:23:47,390
We won't know if you don't go.

277
00:23:47,850 --> 00:23:50,110
The door's open at 6.30, this is a free event.

278
00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:52,310
Concessions will be available for purchase.

279
00:23:52,990 --> 00:23:55,390
So join me in supporting our hometown businesses.

280
00:23:55,390 --> 00:24:21,950
I've got a feeling the move, the evening will be epic if you're an Elvis van, you understand that on Friday September 25th at 5pm in front of the city building, I will proclaim the day Dolly Day to recognize the humanitarian efforts of Dolly Park and passed away on August 25th no matter how big her claim to fame was Dolly never was ashamed of or forgot where she came from.

281
00:24:21,950 --> 00:24:28,410
I've got many reasons that I can say that and I want to do this for, but show up that day and you can hear them.

282
00:24:28,810 --> 00:24:36,190
What I will say is Dolly Parton leaves behind a body of work and a legacy of compassion that will continue to inspire people throughout the world.

283
00:24:36,830 --> 00:24:41,350
Her music brought happiness to millions while her generosity changed countless lives.

284
00:24:41,910 --> 00:24:46,970
For anyone who's worried about their tax dollars being spent on two pink ribbons placed in front of the city building,

285
00:24:46,970 --> 00:24:50,130
I assure you that you have nothing to worry about.

286
00:24:50,530 --> 00:24:53,670
The ribbons were purchased by an anonymous donor and myself.

287
00:24:54,330 --> 00:24:57,470
In a world filled with joeleens, we decided to be a dolly.

288
00:24:58,610 --> 00:25:02,230
I attended the open house at the Village Flower Shop

289
00:25:02,230 --> 00:25:04,490
to celebrate Roger's retirement.

290
00:25:05,190 --> 00:25:07,710
Roger, thank you for your loyal years of service

291
00:25:07,710 --> 00:25:08,530
to our community.

292
00:25:08,930 --> 00:25:11,170
May be blessed and enjoy every minute of it.

293
00:25:14,650 --> 00:25:17,350
On Thursday, September 10th, there

294
00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:25,130
would be a 25th anniversary stair climb at Mime's Bird High School for 9-11. Registration

295
00:25:25,130 --> 00:25:32,370
can be done online. The sign in starts at 5-15. The climb will start at 6. It will take

296
00:25:32,370 --> 00:25:38,270
place behind the high school on Belville Road at the football field. Participants only on

297
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:44,530
the field, it's so well attended that there is no spectator room. I will be there. I plan

298
00:25:44,530 --> 00:25:50,310
to attend. According to the text I received from Rumpkey, Rumpkey will be on a one-day pickup

299
00:25:50,310 --> 00:25:55,530
delay due to yesterday's Labor Day holiday, and I end my report with a heavy heart.

300
00:25:56,650 --> 00:26:01,930
I send my condolences to the family of Charlie Genslinger, Kyle Shelley, Cole,

301
00:26:02,390 --> 00:26:04,650
Kylie Collin, Abby, and the great-grandkids.

302
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,620
My parents have been going for a while. My dad died

303
00:26:17,290 --> 00:26:21,890
It hurts me to see them go through now what I went through back then.

304
00:26:22,470 --> 00:26:27,090
She was always kind, always thoughtful, and always thankful to me every time I saw her.

305
00:26:27,730 --> 00:26:29,070
Kyle, I love you, man.

306
00:26:30,510 --> 00:26:33,110
Now onto our council members' report, Mr. Jones.

307
00:26:33,530 --> 00:26:34,190
May I have a member's council?

308
00:26:34,470 --> 00:26:36,850
Before I start, I want to ask the judge, do you have a card?

309
00:26:37,790 --> 00:26:38,110
I do.

310
00:26:38,110 --> 00:26:39,690
Can I ask him to for his card?

311
00:26:39,830 --> 00:26:44,010
I teach state and local governments to declare, and I thought maybe you might want to come by and present it on my

312
00:26:46,730 --> 00:26:50,030
Okay, so whenever we can do that later, so thank you very much

313
00:26:50,590 --> 00:26:55,790
So I had planned to attend the Board of Zoning Appeals meeting last month, but I had a work conflict

314
00:26:55,790 --> 00:27:00,450
I'd also plan to attend the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission meeting last Thursday

315
00:27:00,450 --> 00:27:07,730
But I was taking my first vacation at Cedar Point where I probably walked about 20 miles and three days and read about a hundred roller coasters

316
00:27:08,110 --> 00:27:13,670
It was very not busy at the park so anyway it was it was a great time

317
00:27:14,610 --> 00:27:19,350
Spend a lot of time though this this past month with the what I call the silver swimmers

318
00:27:19,350 --> 00:27:24,050
I appreciate all that will the other staff at the park

319
00:27:24,750 --> 00:27:30,530
And the park deal in the parks apartment deal with our pool. I've made some friends

320
00:27:32,150 --> 00:27:36,310
Swimming got a lot of good exercise my wife normally doesn't talk a lot about government

321
00:27:36,310 --> 00:27:44,850
But she keeps talking about how how great it is that those of our age in order can go down and before the pool opens

322
00:27:45,810 --> 00:27:53,030
Swim for an hour or take a shower and just I've met a lot of interesting people the same time watching install the

323
00:27:53,030 --> 00:27:58,930
Then these slide that was interesting and I didn't get hit by anything. He pipes or anything. I'm not a swimmer

324
00:27:58,930 --> 00:28:04,850
So it was great, but it was no really. It's great and she keeps saying make sure you mention that next year

325
00:28:04,850 --> 00:28:11,130
We want to have that again because it's a great way for older individuals to get exercise and also make friends

326
00:28:12,710 --> 00:28:16,370
There was also it was brought up about property maintenance interests

327
00:28:16,370 --> 00:28:21,850
You probably because and my five plus years on city four plus years on city council

328
00:28:21,850 --> 00:28:27,650
I've only done case work maybe three times. I want to thank the police department also Kelly

329
00:28:27,650 --> 00:28:33,810
I have a neighbor and again as a city council member I'd be very careful how I interact dealing with issues

330
00:28:33,810 --> 00:29:00,270
but there was a property maintenance slash trespassing slash other type of legal issues in the model lawyer don't play on television, but as a former property maintenance, the zoning official and city planner, I can tell you I had some advice for our neighbor and since it was across the street, I got a little more involved, typically the idea, but the degree of professionalism, especially by the police department and dealing, I think we're on the road to getting that issue taken care of.

331
00:29:00,270 --> 00:29:10,970
So you never know about these issues until they come into your street and your neighborhood, and it's glad to have the city there to help.

332
00:29:11,730 --> 00:29:18,350
And I believe, oh, the data center.

333
00:29:18,350 --> 00:29:20,170
So to work, I've done more research,

334
00:29:20,370 --> 00:29:22,090
to enter into about Miami'sburg,

335
00:29:22,170 --> 00:29:24,710
and other cities now talking about dealing with more

336
00:29:24,710 --> 00:29:25,730
tournaments on data centers.

337
00:29:26,070 --> 00:29:27,690
As I did more work, I had questions

338
00:29:27,690 --> 00:29:29,390
last week, or last month.

339
00:29:29,450 --> 00:29:30,930
I was kind of confused about the approach

340
00:29:30,930 --> 00:29:32,210
that was taken on the ordinance,

341
00:29:32,630 --> 00:29:34,090
but now it makes much more sense,

342
00:29:34,270 --> 00:29:35,710
is that from a legal standpoint,

343
00:29:36,230 --> 00:29:38,170
and whether the state of Ohio decides to do anything,

344
00:29:38,470 --> 00:29:39,970
it's amazing just in the last month,

345
00:29:40,330 --> 00:29:44,290
how much this issue has gotten traction.

346
00:29:44,690 --> 00:29:46,050
Like, lots of traction,

347
00:29:46,050 --> 00:29:53,610
some glad that we're despite what even with that state of Ohio may have preemption in the future with us that we've got we've got

348
00:29:54,270 --> 00:29:59,430
We're it seemed to be a heavy game, especially compared to many municipalities in Ohio, so I appreciate that

349
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,900
And that would all close with that. Thank you very much. It does seem like it's rolling downhill, doesn't it? It's rolling somewhere. Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Thank you, Mayor. I will attend the cemetery board meeting next Monday. And at this time, I'd like to just remind everyone, as we, a lot of people, changed their decorations from summer to fall and then followed the Christmas decorations at the cemetery, that if you will put your name on the bottom of it, and it gets flown off or

350
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:35,520
something happens to it, and the workers there find that they will replace it to the proper place.

351
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,740
Otherwise, you're going to lose your decoration, because they don't know where it goes.

352
00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:45,200
I'd like to read a little information about our upcoming loving.

353
00:30:46,020 --> 00:30:50,880
The Germantown Senior Center provides health, educational and recreational programs,

354
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:55,240
as the seniors in maintaining vital independent lives

355
00:30:55,580 --> 00:30:59,360
as well as serves the community as an emergency shelter

356
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:00,980
and polling location.

357
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,240
This is pertaining to one not renewal levy

358
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,520
that will be on the ballot in November.

359
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,540
There are wide variety of activities for seniors

360
00:31:11,060 --> 00:31:13,000
such as physical fitness activities,

361
00:31:13,780 --> 00:31:16,680
lunch activities, social activities, best trips,

362
00:31:17,380 --> 00:31:20,000
crafts, open computer and game activities.

363
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:26,520
The center also hosts health screens, health fairs, craft fairs, music events, community

364
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:31,340
events, free tax service, and in the form of seminars.

365
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:38,080
The center has become a very focal point for seniors and their families to find information

366
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,440
concerning services available in Montgomery County.

367
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:47,760
The seniors also have numerous opportunities to volunteer their time and their talents there.

368
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:54,800
To continue operation this center and assisting our community seniors, Germantown and Germantown

369
00:31:54,800 --> 00:32:00,880
ship, officials have placed a 1 mil renewable levy on the November 3rd ballot.

370
00:32:01,260 --> 00:32:07,460
This issue is a continuation and the present 1 mil levy and it's not a new tax.

371
00:32:08,340 --> 00:32:10,480
So remember it's not going to raise your taxes.

372
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:16,600
And with that, I'd like to encourage everyone to attend the pretzel festival to one of our

373
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:22,360
nicest activities all summer, one of our biggest activities all summer, and we're going

374
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,180
to all pray for good weather. And that's all I had in there.

375
00:32:25,420 --> 00:32:27,920
It's world famous. Thank you, Mrs. Good.

376
00:32:28,060 --> 00:32:28,260
Yes.

377
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:29,200
Mr. Good.

378
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:34,960
Thanks, Mayor. There were quite a few things everybody else already touched on that I'll

379
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:41,340
skip over. One I do have to double do is I also went to Roger's retirement open house.

380
00:32:42,420 --> 00:32:48,000
Congratulations, Roger, on his retirement and successfully running a business for half

381
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:48,620
a century.

382
00:32:50,490 --> 00:32:55,760
The good news is that we are retaining the village flower shop in town.

383
00:32:56,370 --> 00:33:00,480
The new owner, Brooke Clark, will be opening up across the street.

384
00:33:01,710 --> 00:33:08,040
I was there today working on trying to get things ready for the cooler that she'll need installed,

385
00:33:09,140 --> 00:33:14,840
but we're excited to have her take over the business and stay in town and Roger will be

386
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,860
if you're somebody who was in there talking to Roger a lot you can catch him

387
00:33:18,860 --> 00:33:23,640
there until the end of the year he's staying around to mentor Brooke and share

388
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:29,720
some of his experience of his 50 years in the forest game so also at that same

389
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:34,660
address 40 North Maine the value performing arts boosters are running a fundraiser

390
00:33:34,660 --> 00:33:38,640
that will should start in the middle of this month, run until the end of next.

391
00:33:40,180 --> 00:33:53,600
They are renting out costumes that they use to raise funds for the things they do in the building they're looking at, trying to accomplish.

392
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,960
So stop by and check that out. And that's all I have. Thank you.

393
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:05,280
He's got everybody above us and if you missed out on the open house, let me just tell you if you missed out on a spread

394
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,380
Sunday and he said he thought he'd worked harder recently

395
00:34:16,300 --> 00:34:21,660
Right now they're still running across the street, you know, and they need something because the cooler is not in and so

396
00:34:23,100 --> 00:34:27,420
Yeah, but everybody's really happy Roger's gonna get to retire

397
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:32,080
we get to retain the florist and we're going to have a new shop hopefully opening up here in the

398
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:39,420
next few months in our office building so it's all missing along pretty well thank you mayor

399
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:45,920
city youthful committee meant back on august 13th it was a short meeting we looked into the new

400
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:53,640
yard signs for decoration um fix up awards certain awards more friendly for the maintenance guys

401
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:58,700
putting the ground comes from the shoes of the current one so we have some New York signs here.

402
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:08,100
Also looked at the Halloween coloring contest for kids coming over to third grade so hopefully

403
00:35:08,100 --> 00:35:14,700
there'll be some coming to council after Halloween and later on next not the this

404
00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:20,760
menu that knocked over we'll start with the Christmas tree baskets and start Christmas decorations so

405
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,900
The little long next meeting is September the 14th at 6 p.m.

406
00:35:26,180 --> 00:35:27,380
Should be on the city hall.

407
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,900
Pulled or met back on August 19th.

408
00:35:32,900 --> 00:35:34,820
The revenue is down a little bit from last year.

409
00:35:35,940 --> 00:35:38,200
The weather hasn't been nearly what it was last year.

410
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,740
Last year we just had a peak weather year.

411
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,780
But even though the revenue is down, I think we're still online

412
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,920
with our financial goals, so we'll wait and see how that plays out.

413
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:55,360
slides in. That's an amazing, amazing feat at the end of the year, so hopefully we'll get

414
00:35:55,360 --> 00:36:00,720
all of you here next year to enjoy that. And then we just discussed ways to increase

415
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:05,360
poll passes. Well, it's been on this. He's increased in quite a bit. So kind of general

416
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:12,900
discussion. Next meeting will be September the 16th at 7 p.m. here at City Hall. That's all

417
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:18,580
I have. Thank you, Mr. Reed. Unfortunately, we had several impromptu pools pop up this

418
00:36:18,580 --> 00:36:25,240
summer. Hopefully that won't happen again next year. Mr. Walson. I think most

419
00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:29,800
everything's been covered here so far tonight. Very good report mayor. I will say

420
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:37,560
this past week I was out at Marathon on West Market getting gas in my car

421
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:45,840
right when the random wall of wind appeared in town and the dust from the field

422
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,660
across the street was so thick you couldn't see the cemetery so I can't imagine

423
00:36:49,660 --> 00:36:53,440
how many things were blowing around over there probably very important to have

424
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,720
your name on those things but on my way back into town there was a tree in

425
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:02,920
west market and then trying to get back to my house there was a tree cross

426
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,640
walnut there was a tree cross plum there's a tree cross main all on the south

427
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,480
side and I'm sure it that repeated all over town but within probably five minutes

428
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:16,180
to talk with Judy and Jonathan. The skid steer back home comes rolling down the

429
00:37:16,180 --> 00:37:20,140
street. The guys did an excellent job cleaning everything up, so just thanks to

430
00:37:20,140 --> 00:37:26,080
them. I know that was a Friday afternoon after they had all gone home for

431
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:31,480
Labor Day weekend and so I hate to bring those guys out when they've started

432
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,440
their weekend but they did a great job. Always quick to get things cleaned up.

433
00:37:36,780 --> 00:37:40,240
That is all I have tonight. Thank you. Thank you, Brian. Yeah, thank you, Chief

434
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:44,880
He was out making rounds in Jonathan and his crew to thank you all again.

435
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:50,840
All right, well now we'll move down to the reading and voting on our tonight's consent agenda.

436
00:37:54,580 --> 00:37:58,880
