[0:00] Questions or something?

[0:07] I'll see

[0:19] what I can do. There's been a lot going on.

[0:26] Thank you.

[0:27] Thank you.

[1:11] To the other way.

[1:12] It was just a case.

[1:14] One location.

[1:14] I'm going to

[1:21] turn these curtains in the sand.

[1:23] I'm going to turn these curtains in the sand.

[1:24] I'm going to turn these curtains in the sand.

[1:26] The corners.

[1:33] We are not on Facebook left tonight.

[1:36] You should all have minutes and agendas in front of you.

[1:42] Jackson, got to fire us.

[1:43] Here.

[1:44] Here.

[1:45] Here.

[1:46] So I, here, is little.

[1:48] Absolutely.

[1:51] Very good.

[1:51] I'm going to move on to your recommendations and visits,

[1:53] especially reports that you need to do that one on the agenda.

[1:57] Dr. Ba, I'll follow you.

[1:59] So we're schools.

[2:00] Good

[2:03] evening, everybody.

[2:05] As the representative of the Gibsonburg Board of Education,

[2:07] I'd be here to thank Chief Carr, Sergeant Layman,

[2:11] Secretary of State, and the rest of the Gibsonburg Police Force,

[2:15] Fire Department, EMS, and Mayor Ford

[2:18] for their role in supporting the swift lockdown

[2:20] of our village and schools and for the communication

[2:23] I received a phone call from Chief Carr at a time that he was also dealing with an injured

[2:28] officer.

[2:30] My transportation director, Tom Foto, was notified by the fire department to lock down.

[2:35] Within one minute, we locked down Hillfiger Elementary, where 15 teachers were engaged in professional

[2:41] learning, and 10 employees were present.

[2:44] The middle and high school was locked down, where there were several employees present, and

[2:50] and we locked down our athletic building

[2:51] where the volleyball team and coaches were present.

[2:55] We also locked down our transportation building

[2:57] where there were employees present.

[3:00] Thankfully school was not in session on our campus,

[3:03] but your action was swift, clear, and effective.

[3:08] You were notified of potential use

[3:09] of our high school parking lot that morning,

[3:12] Wednesday morning, for a hell of a pickup,

[3:14] which was later called off, but we were ready.

[3:16] throughout the morning we received several updates including the tracking of phone

[3:21] pings of the suspect and notifications from you about where the search was

[3:27] being ramped up. This included close proximity to our elementary school and

[3:31] baseball field and then later toward white star and our middle high school

[3:36] facilities. Sergeant Layman spoke directly with Tom Foto to keep us informed and

[3:40] and so did Mayor Folk.

[3:42] People inside our facilities were noticeably upset

[3:46] and nervous due to the shock of the helicopter

[3:49] and so many people in uniform on our campuses.

[3:52] But due to your communication,

[3:53] I was able to share some information with my staff

[3:56] via public address system

[3:59] and talk about the increased presence

[4:01] in the woods near our campuses.

[4:04] So thanks to you, I was able to calm down my people

[4:07] and prepare them as law enforcement presence

[4:10] increased on foot in vehicles and in the air. I was able to cancel the PM

[4:16] route to Vanguard that we run midday and keep students home and delay our

[4:23] AM students from returning from Vanguard. I communicated out to all of our

[4:27] employees and our families about the village wide lockdown by canceling all

[4:32] activities including some away sports events that we were typically just

[4:36] drive-to. I did not want anyone moving from inside of a house to anywhere else. Our

[4:43] head custodian at the high school, Ron Helly, mentioned to Missy Bauer, our

[4:47] food director, food service director, that our Earl's volleyball players and

[4:51] team were locked into the athletic building. Missy made them all a hot lunch and with

[4:56] Ron's help they safely delivered lunch to the volleyball team. Later in the day,

[5:01] Tom communicated to find out if we should bring back our morning students who

[5:05] we'd benefit in regard all day.

[5:07] Law enforcement escorted our bus from Fremont to give some work.

[5:12] And with law enforcement present in the high school parking lot,

[5:15] including Officer Cross, whose wife Devon was locked in Hillfiker,

[5:20] we got students into cars and we evacuated the volleyball team

[5:24] from our athletic building in a very coordinated way.

[5:28] Then Officer Cross and Sheriff's Deputy Escorted Me back to Hillfiker,

[5:32] where we had to stay at the staff waiting at three specific exit doors.

[5:38] When the officers arrived, the staff immediately walked out and left campus, again, under

[5:43] the shield of law enforcement.

[5:45] The strangest indicator for me that there were so many law enforcement people in our village

[5:50] conducting this manhunt was the deer.

[5:54] I went from the board office over to Hillfiger to kind of be a calming presence when the

[6:02] Vanguard bus came and the volleyball girls came out and then when I went back

[6:07] to the elementary I kept noticing the number of panic deer running through

[6:11] town. The woods were being swept by so many officers that the deer ran into

[6:17] town and it was truly unusual to see those food deer hopping fences and running

[6:22] down the eastern street but that's what I do the suspect would be found.

[6:29] As

[6:29] information continued to come to us I communicated to our school community that

[6:33] school facilities were closing at 3 o'clock. Everyone knew to stay home the rest of the night.

[6:38] And then shortly thereafter I received the news that the suspect was captured.

[6:43] My team is intrigued about the events. There is little we would do differently,

[6:49] but we are grateful for your partnership. I came here to say thank you for keeping our school safe.

[6:55] I am communicating with my staff about the events planned for Officer Kisses Benefit.

[7:01] We will be there in large numbers because that's what we do and give some real

[7:04] help. Thank you for your time. Awesome. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you.

[7:09] That dear thing is real. My friends right outside the elementary school there

[7:13] and they have to tell me that he is like I'm sitting in the front, sitting in the

[7:17] front room. He's like all of a sudden a deer come right in front of you. I'm like what the

[7:29] I mean, they were abandoned a whole other level of craziness with parents and everything else.

[7:34] But I agree, we tried everything we could to make sure that we were in constant community in some way.

[7:40] So we see Mike at work glad it was on the scale and it was, but seeing it all coming in.

[7:45] You don't plan for those things, or you don't want to.

[7:47] At least I'm not part of dry runs, but things like that.

[7:49] And I thought it went extremely well in the limited scope that we had to make it happen.

[7:56] We've implemented our crisis plan a number of times in the school district.

[8:01] When our team got together to debrief, we talked about how we would have planned to keep our students

[8:07] elected in the buildings until midnight if necessary, because we were right there.

[8:12] But we had extra food, we had food freezers, and everybody, and those are the types of things that we just have to plan for.

[8:19] I'm sorry.

[8:22] The serious abuse of kindly include this card in your stack.

[8:25] Absolutely.

[8:26] I was superintendent.

[8:27] I did my homework.

[8:29] Thank you.

[8:30] Thank you.

[8:32] All right.

[8:33] We'll move on to reviewing approval of minutes.

[8:35] The previous counseling.

[8:36] Is there a motion to approve the July 16th unit's end?

[8:41] Tom O.

[8:42] Mr. Kerwin, thank you.

[8:43] Mr. Kenpides, thank you.

[8:46] Roll call.

[8:47] That's fine.

[8:49] Yes.

[8:49] Heroin.

[8:50] Yes.

[8:50] Heroin.

[8:51] Yes.

[8:51] That's a lot of say.

[8:53] I'm

[8:56] going to get a correspondence to see if there is none.

[9:00] So you go over.

[9:01] So we'll move on to the motion to approve payment.

[9:04] The two voices reviewed tonight for the fiscal officer pay.

[9:06] Is there a motion to approve the invoices?

[9:09] Someone?

[9:10] Mr. Gerwin.

[9:11] Second.

[9:12] Oh, it's your second.

[9:12] Thank you.

[9:15] Heroin.

[9:16] That's fine.

[9:16] Yes.

[9:17] Heroin.

[9:19] Yes.

[9:19] That's right.

[9:24] We don't have, we don't have any old business on the agenda moving forward.

[9:29] Nor do we have any new business on the agenda moving forward.

[9:37] So I'll move into the mayor's report.

[9:39] I do have a few things.

[9:43] Obviously officer Kisha and her situation, I don't know if you guys saw some of the posts

[9:49] came out today. She's been doing a pretty good job keeping everybody up to date on her condition.

[9:55] We have been cautious about putting things out publicly about her condition because

[10:00] you don't want to say too much. Something does happen. So we're waiting for some of those

[10:05] all clear things and the family's been giving their directive on what they wanted to be out there as

[10:09] well. But happy to report that she is expected to make full recovery. She does have some complications

[10:17] that she's working through, but she is off all the ventilators, all the tubes and stuff

[10:23] are out.

[10:24] There's no more surgeries planned, all her wounds are closed up, and she's actually getting

[10:30] better every day.

[10:33] She's had a little trouble speaking at the moment, so they're working through some stuff

[10:37] up back.

[10:38] Tomorrow's the first day that people are going to get to see her, actually, she's still an

[10:42] ICU.

[10:42] do myself along with all the police officers I'm going to make it and we're

[10:47] making plans tomorrow to go up and see her tomorrow around 1 o'clock I think we'll

[10:50] be up there and hear about noon so it'll be good for her to see she's been

[10:55] she's been feisty she's been a fighter she she did not like the tubes she did not

[11:00] like being in a committed she she fought back on a lot of that stuff she was she was

[11:05] with us she was coherent and everybody knows knows the story of what happened

[11:09] And last week, I mean, we're eight days away from last week.

[11:14] Does that happen?

[11:14] So, crazy.

[11:17] Dr. Bob, I'll find a lot of those things well.

[11:19] I thought our communication with the school went very well.

[11:23] I'll thank God the kids were not in school.

[11:25] So they'll get just a note of that.

[11:26] And it'll hold another level of crazy appearance

[11:29] and whatnot wanting to get their kids.

[11:31] So that was a benefit to us.

[11:33] But, I mean, it also did screw up the first day of school for Eastwood.

[11:37] with kids were all locked down all day.

[11:39] Woodmore was locked down.

[11:40] I mean, it was interesting to see all the things work.

[11:44] I mean, I'm not a police officer.

[11:46] I'm not a police officer.

[11:48] I left working immediately, came into town,

[11:50] and spent the rest of the day for about 10 o'clock

[11:53] on at Command Center there, at the bank,

[11:59] seen all of the different agencies come together

[12:03] in short order like that.

[12:05] It's pretty impressive, but honestly, it was, you know, they've got all different levels

[12:10] of command, they don't all work together normally, but they got there, they all figured

[12:15] out who was in charge, they got in line, they took them marching orders, they did what they

[12:19] needed to do, they got all figured out the technology that they were using was incredible, the amount

[12:26] of manpower and the show force that showed up, especially the ones that weren't even called

[12:31] that just heard about the issue that happened and came a couple of the say

[12:36] habitual officers I was talking to were from Mary'sville and just were

[12:41] heard on their radio and said we're going so flew all the way up here from

[12:45] Mary'sville got yours quickly as they could it there was some SRT teams that were

[12:51] out at the gun range that morning all ready that were training they heard the

[12:58] all come through so they were one of the first ones here from that. They were a couple

[13:02] of those were guys were from hours away from here and they weren't even heard of

[13:04] heaps of murder and they were here and everybody did their thing. The SWAT teams

[13:09] it showed I mean it was there was hundreds of officers there 22 different agencies

[13:13] I think all the letters of the alphabet were in town. It was it was pretty

[13:18] aggressive to see I mean we got pizzas that was our that was our goal we got we got

[13:25] We got them all fed, we kept a caravan of peaches rolling from movies the entire time, got them water, got them

[13:31] some tents and stuff, some chairs, but we stayed out of their way, answered the phone when we needed to, coordinated a few things with the fire department, we did our part, but

[13:41] I'll

[13:44] say exactly what I said to those officers when they got them and when I talked to everybody at the end of it, but it was impressive to see, it's unfortunate that that happened, I don't know

[13:57] You know, the true story will ever fully come out or be fully publicized about all the

[14:03] stuff that would happen, but you know, you're trying to help somebody, you know, that's

[14:09] on a hard times.

[14:11] You know, what we do here in the village gives her help of people out and, you know, she

[14:16] put her life on the line just like, you know, could always happen and, you know, luckily

[14:22] ended the way it did. He's caught and she's going to be okay, but that's not what happens here.

[14:29] Like everybody, like I told the news that day, once the last time there was an officer involved shooting in time,

[14:34] never, I guess it doesn't happen here. We don't, officers don't get hurt here.

[14:39] We don't have these type of issues to have a stabbing happen twice in two months is incredible.

[14:48] And by no means will I ever make any excuses for anything, but I think the pure fact is

[14:52] mental health is a real thing nowadays, there's issues everywhere, I mean that.

[15:00] That guy was definitely struggling with some demons that he had just as, you know, the young gentleman that, you know, did what he did a couple of months before that, he had some issues he was dealing with. And then, you know, we've got other issues in town that were deal with some folks. It's a real thing. It's everywhere. So, you know, some way to need help, you know, so he's got to get some help and it's not always the easiest thing to do. And there's not a lot of resources out there and people don't want to own.

[15:33] So there are some good things coming from that, right?

[15:35] So we do what the Village does.

[15:37] We, every way, rallies around their own.

[15:40] I reached out to Holly McGue and Laura Keller and Roy Whitehead.

[15:49] We got together really quickly to try to figure out some fundraising plans and get a small

[15:54] group around and start showing community support.

[15:56] So we've got the the kicking in for Kishio event that's going to be on Saturday September 19th at the log yard

[16:03] We've got bands lined up the fireman's food tent is gonna be rocking all day

[16:08] We've got some bounce house stuff coming for the kids and activities for them to do

[16:12] There's a kickball thing at the park. It's gonna happen. Mark is is doing a 5k in town. It's gonna be a car show

[16:19] We're closing down

[16:21] Madison Street from the light to the railroad tracks

[16:25] We're notifying no doubt that we're doing it, I don't care if they say no, we're going to do it anyway, I don't really care.

[16:32] So, we're going to log it down and do what we do and try to raise as much money as we can for and go from there.

[16:40] So, there's a GoFundMe that's out there and I think his town is going to rally around her and support just like we do for our own every time.

[16:46] But things are positive, things are moving in the right direction for her, so hopefully we're getting a bigger update on that.

[16:56] Next one I'll hit on, again mental health to give, a little bit here.

[17:02] I know it was on Facebook this week, there's a house on the Spanish district, you guys don't know what tour we're familiar with.

[17:07] I just started dying in whatever she wants to go by these days.

[17:12] We're talking about the church.

[17:17] It's always been an issue.

[17:18] I mean, she's got some issues of her own.

[17:20] She's locked up.

[17:21] I saw the comments out there, I know there's some spray paint on the house.

[17:23] There's limited things we can do to that.

[17:27] But when people start putting out posts like, what is the village doing about this?

[17:31] Why was this acceptable?

[17:32] This house looks like crap.

[17:33] I, you know, we have largely stayed away from trying to go publicly and say stuff about

[17:39] people because they, you know, the issues and whatnot, but anybody is welcome to ever

[17:43] see this gigantic file that we have on that residence and that individual and the craziness

[17:48] that has come.

[17:50] With that whole situation, like we have spent more manpower and hours and days and just dealing

[17:58] with that situation. Part of the reason the homeowners in jail today is because

[18:03] the charges that we file are for repeatedly not adhering to code violations

[18:10] and everything that we have in town. So we are still actively working that

[18:14] whole situation. We've tried multiple angles to get that situation resolved.

[18:20] You guys are all familiar with this. The health departments, you know, the county,

[18:24] I mean all different kind of handles where there's issues there and it hasn't, nobody

[18:28] has lend a hand there to help that either.

[18:31] I do feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

[18:34] On that situation, there's some things that are going to be happening in the coming months

[18:38] from the county level that should remediate that whole situation and take care of it once

[18:44] and for all, but figures cross that actually does happen in things that's needed to happen

[18:49] for a while and it falls through and whatnot.

[18:50] But I wish we were all face-for-climate for that one because I know it's always out there.

[18:55] I wanted to address that one.

[19:00] 9-11 ceremonies this week of next week, it's Friday, so I know I put out some stuff and

[19:06] command to put out some stuff this week, we'll be putting that out and I'll try to get

[19:09] everybody there.

[19:10] 10 a.m. next Friday.

[19:12] I've got the 9-11 ceremony, everybody's obviously invited to be there for that, welcome to

[19:16] come. Matt Long is back after 10 years. Matt was there when we first unveiled that

[19:23] Memorial. He spoke, I think we were in front of a crowd of 3,000 ish that day.

[19:29] I don't expect 3,000 people there next Friday, but that would be awesome.

[19:35] So it should be good. We've got a bunch of kids from the school come in. We'll

[19:38] probably have our normal crowd. We've got the stage and everything. So it'd be good

[19:42] But Matt's coming back.

[19:43] Matt's supposed to speak for 45 minutes, I think he said.

[19:47] So Matt's going to talk for quite a long time.

[19:49] So that should be good.

[19:51] We got to scrap this weekend, coming up

[19:54] the annual scrap event this weekend in town.

[19:57] So we'll have that.

[19:59] And then I know I had said on Facebook,

[20:01] and obviously we're not on Facebook live,

[20:03] so I'll probably take some heat for that.

[20:06] But that's not good for a word to hype anything

[20:10] Thank you, boy, on the internet and it's down.

[20:12] So we're not able to kill live.

[20:15] But just like I mentioned, it's last being me and Amanda

[20:18] and Donnie, as well as our engineer.

[20:21] We took a trip to New Albany this past Monday.

[20:25] We took the tour of their industrial park,

[20:28] listened to their presentation at their center of development

[20:34] for New Albany.

[20:35] It was as much of a conversation around industrial parks

[20:39] in general and master planning as it was data center stuff but obviously it had a huge

[20:45] data center push and flavor to that meeting being that they're kind of like the capital of

[20:51] data centers in Ohio.

[20:55] Two hours I think it was maybe a little over two hours in total and hour

[21:00] inside going through their presentation and then we got on the bus and toured the

[21:06] their industrial park, which I don't have my map on me,

[21:09] should I have my map out, but it's huge.

[21:14] If anybody ever...

[21:16] 9,000 acres.

[21:17] 9,000 acres, industrial park.

[21:19] That is, it's humongous, like it is.

[21:22] It's big.

[21:24] But honestly, when you drive it through it,

[21:26] it doesn't necessarily...

[21:28] It doesn't necessarily feel like 9,000 acres

[21:30] when you drive it through it.

[21:31] It's largest.

[21:32] If you guys can see this too, we'll pass it to the police here.

[21:38] It's impressive, to be quite honest.

[21:40] The planning that they put into that whole industrial part,

[21:43] and this is decades in the making, you know, they do it overnight

[21:47] and just fly into this whole thing, is decades in the making.

[21:54] But it is very well done.

[21:57] their zoning around it is very well done, the appearance of it is very well done, the way

[22:04] they structure compensation agreements and deals and whatnot is kind of cutting edge

[22:12] to be quite honest and how they make sure that they're getting funny for it because you wouldn't

[22:21] Center-specific driving through, if you didn't know and point out and know on the map what

[22:26] it was, you wouldn't know it was a data center. It looked very much like a warehouse

[22:34] distribution center to the most part. Knowing what to look for, you could obviously see some

[22:38] of the generators and stuff like that all along the sides. You can do and obviously met a Google

[22:42] and all those things, but very, very well done, very tastefully done. Different concepts they

[22:49] have there. They've got power generation inside there as well. They actually had one building which

[22:54] I thought was very interested. I've never seen this or heard this. They had one big data center building

[22:59] that had the bottom floor was the power generation floor. So they had a power plant on the bottom floor

[23:07] and on the top floor was was where the data center was at. So it was all contained inside one building.

[23:13] I've never seen that model. I've never heard that before. It was very very interesting. I don't

[23:19] I don't remember when company that was either showed us that one, but it was very interesting to hear them talk about it, but they kind of have a master class I guess going on how to do it and how to do it well.

[23:39] some of the some of the concerns obviously that are always out there.

[23:42] Noise is one. Didn't hear anything out and listening through. That was a

[23:50] conversation point in the room with them there since 2015 when they started

[23:55] really getting a lot of data centers. They've 2015 till now they've had four

[23:59] noise reports the entire time and all of those were what I was resolved with

[24:04] seven out of the days and those were all related to start-up type situations when they came

[24:11] online. They've got one other instance that is related to some fan noise at a Google

[24:18] facility due to them having the wrong fans and that weren't on their initial plan.

[24:27] The ones that they wanted that are the ultra quiet fans were on back order or something like

[24:31] that so they started up with these and they were,

[24:33] they were nosy apparently.

[24:36] Before, since 2015, till now,

[24:40] switch, that was pretty well done.

[24:44] No water issues whatsoever.

[24:46] They get their water from the city of Columbus.

[24:51] There's nothing in the water.

[24:54] It comes back on their reports

[24:55] but has anything negative in there?

[24:58] the city of Columbus was really happy with the whole thing I know down there

[25:04] New Albany specific you know it's here about all the construction traffic is a

[25:07] roads are crap it was dirt everywhere I didn't I didn't see anything bad driving

[25:13] around I mean it wasn't there wasn't anything all messed up you did say you know

[25:18] that they've had some issues where some things were messed up or whatever but

[25:24] for all that talk of you always kind of hear there's no money you know there's

[25:29] no money generator for data centers right every single one of those down

[25:32] there has actually even tied to it and then you know all that talk that there's

[25:37] there's no money there's no money yeah right there's more money in that town

[25:42] and then they go to the school and they go to college campus.

[25:49] It's a 9,000.

[25:49] They've got 9,000 people in that town.

[25:51] And their school's got 2,500 kids.

[25:55] And that school looks like the most foreign eight college

[25:57] campus I've ever seen in my life.

[25:59] I mean, there is more money in that town

[26:01] than I've ever seen anywhere.

[26:04] And they spend it the way they have their deal structured,

[26:08] the way they get money out their formula that they use.

[26:11] isn't just property tax money, it isn't just pilot payments.

[26:15] They've got other funding mechanisms tied to those things.

[26:20] Some of these things we already knew about.

[26:22] There wasn't a ton knew that we hadn't already kind of heard,

[26:24] because we researched new already pretty aggressively,

[26:27] knowing all these things anyway.

[26:29] We did learn some stuff about a thing called a pup tax,

[26:32] which was new to us. That's around power generation piece.

[26:36] So, that was me, it was about that whole thing as well, but just very well done.

[26:45] And again, like they said, it's not for everybody.

[26:47] I don't think nobody expects to have a 9,000 acre industrial park.

[26:52] I mean, that was planning, like I said, over decades that doesn't go everywhere.

[26:57] But I mean, if some communities had a fraction of that,

[27:00] whether it was data centers or just industrial stuff,

[27:03] And that whole industrial park is not just data centers either.

[27:05] There is, you know, and we're probably finishing at the point there,

[27:09] right back behind Bob Evans, he's got the other thing there.

[27:12] There's distribution centers, galore in there.

[27:15] It's not just all data centers, there's a bunch of different stuff in there.

[27:21] But it's, it's very well done, very tastefully done.

[27:24] Their ordinances have evolved over the course of time.

[27:28] You know, I know we researched it already a little bit, but it was,

[27:32] That was the first time I had been through there.

[27:35] It was pretty impressive.

[27:37] I heard anybody who was interested to kind of go down there.

[27:41] They're kind of not doing, I think this might have been one of the last tours, if not

[27:44] the last tour that they were doing down there, because it sounds like they've been giving

[27:48] basically tours weekly for a long time now, and I think my friend that they're kind of tired

[27:53] of pulling everybody along and showing everybody, although they're very forthcoming with all

[27:58] information they want you to help anyway they can because they know that you know they've

[28:02] done what they have done but they're not you know I would say they're tapped out but they're

[28:06] they're there's not a whole lot of room left in there.

[28:11] Probably the most impressive thing

[28:13] that I saw wasn't even a data sent thing but they did the new Intel site the big Intel site

[28:18] there were years ago that is one humongous site that is massive you probably see it on that map

[28:23] that intel site is humongous. The cranes, they've got the the second largest crane in North America

[28:35] is on that site. It is it is a site to see. I mean, if you're into all some of those things in

[28:41] construction and stuff like that, it is humongous. It's large, very large. But a lot of activity, I mean,

[28:49] there's construction everywhere, the other thing about houses and stuff, being in close proximity

[28:57] there's housing developments around the edge of it, in the middle of it, and I'm not talking

[29:05] like little apartment buildings, just little houses, you're talking six, seven, eight hundred

[29:11] thousand dollar homes going up right next to it are pretty much paid for and sold before they even

[29:18] get done being built. There's apartment complexes, luxury apartment complexes, so some of those

[29:25] things that are out there, like don't get wrong, there's definitely things that are valid

[29:29] out there about some of the data center stuff that you've got to watch for. If you're going

[29:33] to do this thing, you've got to do it right responsibly, and they definitely taught a masterclass

[29:39] on how to do it, do it well, that it's not affecting them in a negative way. So just the

[29:45] interesting things, right? I don't think it changes anything or nothing like that, but I

[29:49] definitely wanted to see one up close and see some of that stuff. Hopefully we get an

[29:54] opportunity maybe to see one a little closer than we got to see, but...

[30:00] It was a good, it was a good little thing. Yeah. Um, I was, I was happy with that whole thing going down there. Um, but that's, that's really it. I mean, I think I ran off everything that I could think of from that. Um, you guys have any questions? My only answer, whatever you can think about it. But yeah, you talk about the power. That was on one building. That was the power. It was an extra gas plant. Yeah. Sorry about that.

[30:30] I could have mentioned that you would think about it.

[30:31] Yeah, I was a natural gas plant on the bottom floor.

[30:33] This looks like a gigantic warehouse, like a billion.

[30:37] And then second floor was where all the data center stuff was.

[30:41] Like, I didn't even know if that was a possible thing.

[30:43] Like, and I didn't mention how many,

[30:45] um, I don't know what that was.

[30:48] He did not, uh, it was over a hundred.

[30:51] But I don't, it wasn't like a massively massive thing,

[30:55] you know, and it was over a hundred and a half.

[30:58] That was behind the meter thing there.

[31:00] I want to say about half of those, I think he said,

[31:03] have behind the meter generation on the rest of them

[31:07] are kind of fit by the grid down there.

[31:11] But yeah, I didn't see anything.

[31:14] I don't know if you guys saw it.

[31:16] I didn't see anything to me that looked like a power plant.

[31:18] And the other ones that they told us

[31:19] that there was power generation on site didn't look anything

[31:23] like, say, that amp building or something

[31:24] you drive past on a way to free modern.

[31:26] What you would typically think of what a power plant might look like, I didn't see anything like that.

[31:31] You see some big transmission lines and substations and stuff like that kind of give you a clue

[31:36] that you were in the area of one but they didn't, they bled it in very well.

[31:42] Even down to the point where, and I mentioned the demand of the water that comes in from the city of Columbus,

[31:52] this. When it comes into part of that industrial park, it's got to go through like a pumping

[31:57] station or something to get it to get its pressure up. And you'd run by this building.

[32:03] I was like, oh, that looks like a nice, I thought it was some of the bar barns. It looked

[32:07] like a bar barn. Like it was modeled in that. It had, you know, ornate a raw dire fence around

[32:14] it. We were like, oh, look at this building. The next exactly where it was. It was just a very

[32:18] well, then do that's part of their zoning and how they do it. If you look online, see pictures

[32:22] down there, I keep talking about how they, you know, they're zoning and whatnot, like they're

[32:27] setbacks and all that. They have white horse vent scene, like forearm horse vent scene and it's

[32:35] painted white everywhere. That's on every every street, every setback, like it is part of their zoning,

[32:42] like on there, like it has to be part of it. It's like their aesthetics plan and whatnot, like the

[32:47] the mounds, the trees, like in some areas you didn't really hardly see a building behind

[32:53] the mounds and the trees that were there because they've done that piece of it so well

[32:57] but you definitely see the white fence everywhere and I felt like I felt bad for whoever

[33:02] has the bow around all those or weedwacker around all those holes because you're talking

[33:06] miles of white fence it's almost got to paint that stuff at some point like it was raised

[33:12] He's just pressured treated way or spends everywhere, but as part of their set they may get fit like you have to you have to do it and they don't care.

[33:22] Yeah, just impressive.

[33:25] But yeah, I will.

[33:27] We'll move off and I'll take any questions at the end if we need to.

[33:30] We can circle back on anything that comes up, but other than that, I don't have anything on that topic.

[33:39] That's all I have on a long-term name.

[33:42] Minister's support, man.

[33:44] I'll keep it shorter.

[33:47] Last week I went and met with Stan Arwellness, really interesting tour, pretty cool.

[33:54] I met with their plant manager.

[33:57] He mentioned how he had been to council meetings previously, and he asked if we would allow him

[34:03] to come back and just kind of give updates.

[34:05] And I thought I'd bring that to you guys,

[34:07] but I don't see why that would be a problem.

[34:11] They're happy to be a good community partner.

[34:13] So I would love to bring them back.

[34:15] So I got some expansion of the way.

[34:18] Yeah, so I'll get that scheduled

[34:22] and have him come to a meeting here soon.

[34:26] We had our bulk trash drop off day last weekend

[34:30] with the new format out at Stevens.

[34:32] And we just had one of our guys out there checking IDs and I think the day went extremely well

[34:38] I went out there and and they had guys standing by their compactor trucks. All you did was back up

[34:43] They unloaded whatever you brought and off you went so really smooth. I think

[34:49] That's gonna be the format. Have we seen any that risk coming from it yet?

[34:52] Not yet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that'd be interesting to see you. How that worked. I agree with you. I thought the format was pretty fast. Yeah

[34:57] So I think that's gonna be the way to go moving forward for sure

[35:02] On Tuesday morning, we had some visitors in town, we had a bike group, they went from California, they're biking out to Brooklyn, and they hope to be there by 9-11.

[35:14] So they stopped at the memorial in the morning, the commissioners came out, Mark was here, they issued a proclamation, it was really nice morning.

[35:22] I don't say there's maybe 20, 25 bicyclists that came so hot. I felt so bad for them.

[35:31] But really nice that they came and stopped at our village and they really appreciate

[35:36] our memorial and loved everything about it. So Mark did a really good job explaining all

[35:42] the details behind it, how it came to be and all that kind of stuff. So no one better,

[35:47] no one more fitting to talk about it than Mark I would say.

[35:53] Fun fact our airplane in Williams Park

[35:56] is on loan from the US Air Force Museum so they came to inspect it today so that was that was

[36:04] a neat conversation so basically they their main goal is the the dials that are inside the planes

[36:11] when it gets decommission they don't always take the dials out and apparently there can be some

[36:17] radioactivity coming from those dials at some point and it's not a factor on the ground

[36:23] but they like to just make sure that it's taken care of.

[36:28] So fortunately for us the dials were removed from our plane so it's not something we have

[36:32] to think about.

[36:34] There is a hole in the one part of the fuselage so they're going to ask us to repair that.

[36:40] It's just some sheet metal work so not anything too big and Matt wants to get some of the numbers

[36:45] repainted so we'll be doing probably some restoration work on that here in the

[36:51] next. Do we know what last time has been repainted? No. I don't know. I don't know. I don't think we've

[36:56] been able to know. Stickers about five years ago, really. Probably do for something. Yeah, for a little

[37:03] bit of love. Yeah, and they were very impressed with our park and how we have it displayed and all the

[37:09] great artifacts that we have in this town. So that was a really nice little visit. And they were going

[37:15] to send us all of the information about that aircraft, so where it flew and who flew it

[37:21] and all those kinds of things.

[37:22] It'd be cool if we could get that and then get an outdoor, you know, a plaque or something

[37:27] on the side of that pillar that's there to represent that, it'd be cool.

[37:32] Yeah.

[37:32] So I'm excited to get that information.

[37:34] He said he'll send it within a couple of weeks, so trash pickup is going to be delayed

[37:42] by one day next week because Monday's Labor Day, so they'll be here on Tuesday.

[37:50] And our office is also closed on Monday for Labor Day, so yeah, excited to keep rolling with

[37:59] a planning for the officer, Kisha's fundraiser. I think that's going to be a great event with great

[38:05] turnout. I have emailed Odette telling them about the road closure, so we'll see how that goes.

[38:14] And whatever else, however, else the village can support, you know, we're all happy to do that, so.

[38:20] Perfect, all right.

[38:22] We'll call on this call.

[38:23] So all funds as of August 31st, 4,000, and 5,000 to 4,500,000.

[38:30] Invested 4,000 to 300,000.

[38:33] Interest in the August is 14,000.

[38:35] From your day to this, 92,000, all the reports have been emailed to the mayor and council

[38:42] of either motion due to receive those.

[38:45] I'll make that motion.

[38:46] It's a curwin.

[38:46] Thank you.

[38:47] Second.

[38:47] It's a pedophias.

[38:48] Thank you.

[38:51] Pedophias.

[38:52] Yes.

[38:52] Irwin.

[38:53] Yes.

[38:54] Curwin.

[38:54] Yes.

[38:55] Slack.

[38:56] Yes.

[38:57] Yes.

[38:57] And there was some re-uncation appropriations for August.

[39:01] I need to move through those.

[39:03] It's a little bit.

[39:05] It's a slight thing.

[39:05] Second.

[39:06] Mr. Kerwin.

[39:07] Thank you.

[39:09] You've had a blast?

[39:10] Yes.

[39:11] Kerwin.

[39:12] Kerwin.

[39:13] Yes.

[39:13] It's like a general fund down 151,000-year-over-year, $870,000.

[39:24] We're still setting for a great change.

[39:25] There's a lot of point out of things that are out of the

[39:28] interest of this year.

[39:29] 70,000 for the new truck that we bought.

[39:32] The storm damage cleanups was 13,000.

[39:34] and we did the first time ever grant,

[39:38] we're downtown, 45,000.

[39:41] And the biggest thing was that real estate taxes

[39:44] were delayed by a month and selecting them

[39:47] so we haven't received our share yet,

[39:48] but you need to be around 65,000.

[39:51] So we'll get back on track there.

[39:55] We can pass the revenue down 9,000 year day

[39:57] that they get some more of a timing issue.

[40:01] I think hopefully everybody in the council are mayor

[40:04] as we see the final audit report from the State Auditor.

[40:08] The only exception was for some virtuous orders that were dated after the invoices, other

[40:15] than that, everything was fine.

[40:18] So the actual report will be out in the State of Ohio's website within two weeks.

[40:25] Submarine love will be close until one for the memorial service.

[40:31] So I have some people that have not taken sabres of their training.

[40:34] I do my day.

[40:36] We need that done as soon as possible.

[40:39] Because that is going to be a big issue when it comes to the state of my audits.

[40:48] The receiving tonight had donation for the Rec Department of Baseball Fund, a member of Tetherbury.

[40:53] I know he came to my house a handful of times looking for him.

[40:58] and he called me and then he emailed me and said we finally be able to link up and he's got that, that's good.

[41:03] That's all I have.

[41:05] Awesome.

[41:05] All right, we'll go on to committee reports and I'll develop Mr. Kerwin.

[41:08] I have nothing on that.

[41:09] Finance Mr. Gerwin.

[41:11] I'll meet you afterwards.

[41:12] Sure, I'll meet you again.

[41:15] So what's your work or dislike?

[41:17] I have.

[41:18] It's been a very busy summer.

[41:20] Most hours aren't equipment yet.

[41:21] I'm record.

[41:23] Sure, I saw this has been contacted to come weed again and our new, we got a mini dump truck.

[41:28] to real it's like on track so it'll just it's more efficient for it instead of

[41:35] replacing a truck right now and that's a part of this is a catapult it's a

[41:55] I just want to thank all the law enforcement, like Mayor folks said, it was incredible to see

[42:03] and that was kind of in the middle of between, I can see it happening in my class at Wimmer's

[42:08] house, and I just think the planes above the house by the elementary, but it was grateful

[42:14] I was able to see that, you know, down the divya at hand, police presence, everybody's

[42:20] help was greatly appreciate it. Mr. Kerwin. My wife was out of town that day, far out

[42:27] of town, and I was at work all day, but it was good to know that everything was taken care

[42:34] of and under control. My first notification I got was from Woodmore Schools saying that

[42:40] they were out of lockdown because of the neighboring community. I didn't know what

[42:44] neighboring community looked at it went back to work and then a little while later I found out what

[42:51] neighboring community was going on again very glad to live in Gipsmer it's a

[42:59] curve yeah I'm going to just reroute the same thing everybody else thing one was

[43:08] supposed to keep cars out here before I'm going to think of it I'll say before I

[43:13] I should have, uh, congratulations, you're slack on getting down with your treatment.

[43:19] That's a huge, yeah.

[43:22] Slowly hanging out of the wall.

[43:24] That's rough.

[43:27] All right, open for them.

[43:29] Anything else for any other questions?

[43:34] I don't make a motion in a giant.

[43:35] It's just slack.

[43:41] Good vibes.

[43:42] Yes.

[43:42] Gerwin.

[43:43] Yes.

[43:43] Gerwin.

[43:44] Yes.

Gibsonburg, OH meeting
