I do have a proclamation this evening. Some guy chief Robinson's here. That's 133 00:10:25,450 --> 00:10:26,990 That's why it did the agenda, different. 134 00:10:28,450 --> 00:10:32,930 This is a proclamation for claiming fire prevention week. 135 00:10:34,070 --> 00:10:39,010 We're asked the City of Groteport Ohio is committed to ensuring the safety and security 136 00:10:39,010 --> 00:10:42,790 of all those living in and visiting Groteport. 137 00:10:44,570 --> 00:10:50,590 We're asked fire is a serious public safety concern, both locally and nationally, and our 138 00:10:50,590 --> 00:10:53,970 homes are where we are at the greatest risk. 139 00:10:53,970 --> 00:10:59,550 whereas according to the National Fire Protection Association, home fires 140 00:10:59,550 --> 00:11:07,770 killed more than 2,770 people and fire departments responded to 339,000 141 00:11:07,770 --> 00:11:15,030 home fires in the United States in 2019. Whereas smoke alarms sent smoke well 142 00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:22,130 before you can, alerting you to danger in the event of fire in which you may have a 143 00:11:22,130 --> 00:11:28,150 little as two minutes to escape safely. And whereas working smoke alarms cut the risk 144 00:11:28,150 --> 00:11:34,530 of dying in recorded home fires in half. Whereas residents should be sure everyone in 145 00:11:34,530 --> 00:11:41,530 the home understands the sounds of the alarms and knows how to respond. Whereas families 146 00:11:41,530 --> 00:11:47,970 who plan and practice a home fire escape plan are more prepared and will therefore be more 147 00:11:47,970 --> 00:11:50,130 likely to survive in fire. 148 00:11:51,050 --> 00:11:56,950 Whereas making sure smoke and seal alarms meet the needs of all family members, including 149 00:11:56,950 --> 00:12:00,270 those with sensory or physical disabilities. 150 00:12:01,230 --> 00:12:07,350 And whereas first responders are dedicated to reducing the occurrence of home fires and 151 00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:15,710 home fire injuries through prevention and protection and protection education and residents responsive 152 00:12:15,710 --> 00:12:21,750 to public education measures are better able to take personal steps to increase fire safety, 153 00:12:22,210 --> 00:12:27,810 especially in their homes. Now, therefore, I-Lance, West Camp, Mayor of the City of 154 00:12:27,810 --> 00:12:35,610 Grootwood, Ohio, you hereby proclaim October 3rd through the night, 2021, as fire prevention 155 00:12:35,610 --> 00:12:42,290 week, and urge all of our residents to observe this year's fire prevention week theme, 156 00:12:42,290 --> 00:12:48,970 learn the sounds of fire safety effectively serving to remind us it is important 157 00:12:48,970 --> 00:12:54,270 to learn the different sounds of smoke and carbon monoxide lines tea for 158 00:12:54,270 --> 00:12:57,830 obviously on behalf of the city of Groport I'd like to present this 159 00:12:57,830 --> 00:13:03,730 proclamation to you and your crew the Madison Township Fire Department you're the 160 00:13:03,730 --> 00:13:08,870 best in the business and we appreciate you appreciate it we appreciate it 161 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:16,480 as 162 00:13:19,060 --> 00:13:28,640 Thank you very much for the proclamation. It does mean a lot. We appreciate all of your support. 163 00:13:29,420 --> 00:13:34,200 Obviously we couldn't do this without the support of the council of the staff of this great city. 164 00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:38,140 So we do appreciate the partnership and everything for the recognition. 165 00:13:39,460 --> 00:13:45,800 Obviously fire prevention is a big part of what we do. Our fire prevention bureau is kind of the young song heroes of the fire service. 166 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:51,080 They don't get to ride around on the flashy loud trucks and wear all the cool gear and do all those things 167 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,880 But they truly are the heart and soul of what we do 168 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,680 They're the ones that get out and they expect to inspect the businesses every year to make sure that those occupancies are safe 169 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:04,040 For not only those that are working there, but the customers and patrons that are there 170 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,100 they're doing 171 00:14:06,020 --> 00:14:06,460 foster 172 00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:10,660 inspections and people's homes adoption inspections 173 00:14:10,660 --> 00:14:12,720 just trying to keep everything from 174 00:14:13,420 --> 00:14:22,560 having a catastrophic effect. So they kind of are behind the scenes but probably work in the hardest when it comes to that as well as educating our youth and in the schools and everything like that. 175 00:14:22,740 --> 00:14:35,800 So it truly does mean a lot that you recognize us this week. We do appreciate it. Unfortunately as we announced at the last meeting we are for going this year's open house just because of everything that's going on with the variant right now. 176 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:43,160 But we will be out of the schools, we will be seeing our youngsters, we'll be seeing everybody out at Trick or Treat, and we're looking forward to that. 177 00:14:43,740 --> 00:14:47,820 And on a side note, I would like to, I know they've left, but congratulate the three officers tonight. 178 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:53,400 Hats off to law enforcement, you guys have a tough job right now, a lot of respect for what you do. 179 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:59,500 I wish all three of them success in their careers, and I hope it's a rewarding career, so congratulations to them. 180 00:14:59,500 --> 00:14:59,900 Thanks. 181 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,720 Thank you, thank you. I do have another event, so I am going to scoot as well. So thank you very much. Appreciate it. 182 00:15:10,460 --> 00:15:23,580 I heard a mess with not mess with dollar. Before we move on, we do have a township trustee candidate in the audience.

It's a good week of work 227 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:28,080 Going through each department's every line and everything to create the budget that I look forward to us presenting to council for discussion 228 00:19:29,860 --> 00:19:31,360 Happy to answer any questions 229 00:19:33,020 --> 00:19:34,100 Thank you VJ 230 00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:36,820 Chief Adams 231 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,040 Thank you mayor just a couple things 232 00:19:40,580 --> 00:19:45,540 So we're preparing for Apple butterday, Sergeant Gailer, and Lieutenant Short 233 00:19:45,540 --> 00:19:48,960 have been working on a schedule. We found out last week that East and 234 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,460 Career Center will not be able to bring in students for Apple butterday 235 00:19:52,460 --> 00:19:57,220 or Halloween, but Sergeant Gailer may contact with Fairfield Career Center's law 236 00:19:57,220 --> 00:19:59,540 enforcement program, and they're going to end up bringing in. 237 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:29,320 Seven are their students to help direct traffic for the vendors that morning on that Saturday morning around. They'll start around 6, 6, 30 in the morning. Go up to about 10, 30 or 11. So that's pretty good news for us because they actually help out a lot with that. Last week I got an email letter from the state of Ohio on new mandates for training for 2022 that kind of hit me a little bit. They're going to require every police officer in the state of Ohio. 238 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:36,360 higher under this mandate to take 24 hours of continuing educational opportunities through 239 00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:42,220 the Ohio Peace Officer's Training Academy. The letter states that they allocated $15 million 240 00:20:42,580 --> 00:20:48,680 for the entire state. I'm just picturing, yeah, I just think in the larger departments. 241 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:56,260 So they're saying we'll give you up to 50% of that money back. Well, that tells me don't 242 00:20:56,260 --> 00:20:58,480 on the 50% is what I'm guaranteeing. 243 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,160 So I've kind of figured out on their prices, 244 00:21:01,180 --> 00:21:03,140 that's almost gonna cost us $21,000 245 00:21:03,140 --> 00:21:06,760 to send all 25 officers to that training next year, 246 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,220 just for basic training and all that. 247 00:21:09,540 --> 00:21:11,260 And I also have the three new sergeants 248 00:21:11,260 --> 00:21:12,220 that are gonna go into training. 249 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,540 So those are some things. 250 00:21:15,140 --> 00:21:16,780 Hopefully we'll get some of that money back, 251 00:21:16,940 --> 00:21:19,160 be able to allocate some other specialty training 252 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,900 when it comes to the new de-tethe bureau 253 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,000 that could be coming up in the next couple of years 254 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:23,880 and stuff like that. 255 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,620 also the new officers who need training. 256 00:21:27,740 --> 00:21:31,000 The other part is we had a bob meter come in, did 257 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,680 four hours of training on Wednesday night, four hours training Saturday with all the officers 258 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,620 on legal updates. And what was nice about that, he incorporated our new policies and procedures 259 00:21:40,620 --> 00:21:46,960 into his legal updates training. So he made sure our guys knew what was going on just with our 260 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:53,060 district court locally but also internationally and then also what are how our policies 261 00:21:53,740 --> 00:21:58,240 comply with those orders. That was pretty nice. And then I've got to hold up one of the 262 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:03,700 Massachusetts firefighters who's actually going to run us through that CPR training and tactical 263 00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:09,600 first-aid training. We're looking to do three different sessions in November. Every officer will be 264 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,360 mandated to do that. So I'm looking forward to that. I can tell you the officer was actually excited 265 00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:19,680 about that and they really appreciated this past training because it actually was something that 266 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,940 was grew for how was our policy implemented and all that with this training and all that. So 267 00:22:24,940 --> 00:22:30,680 they liked that rather than a generic training, it was actually grew for oriented. So the other 268 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,480 thing is I'm going to be having a meeting with on Zoom with Imagine Schools, try to talk about 269 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:41,600 the traffic problems tomorrow, around one o'clock. I sent over a lot of pictures to them of some of 270 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,040 the issues and concerns I have. 271 00:22:43,660 --> 00:22:45,540 And I went around, spoke to all the businesses 272 00:22:45,540 --> 00:22:48,980 on Venture Place Friday to listen to their concerns 273 00:22:48,980 --> 00:22:50,440 and their issues that they're having. 274 00:22:50,660 --> 00:22:54,300 So hopefully we can kind of come to some temporary 275 00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:56,720 and then long-term solutions of how to alleviate 276 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,160 some of this traffic, is that fair? 277 00:22:58,880 --> 00:22:59,860 So that's all I have here. 278 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,440 On that imaginary school, I think somebody, 279 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:06,720 I think it was B.J. brought it up. 280 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:14,620 But in the original, the original plot, whatever, the traffic was an issue and the 281 00:23:14,620 --> 00:23:19,760 they were not supposed to, I don't know the exact order you want to use, cause that 282 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:20,660 type of a problem. 283 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:21,880 That was part of their deal. 284 00:23:22,860 --> 00:23:24,540 That's your right. 285 00:23:24,780 --> 00:23:28,960 So when they got there, and council passed their use variance for there, one of the conditions 286 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:34,440 was that they could, and I'm paraphrasing negatively impact traffic on any public roadways. 287 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:43,880 I think when wasn't they beginning when it started didn't they do some pickups and drop-offs at the high school side? 288 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:51,460 Originally that was that alleviated some of the traffic but now the other issue that they were 289 00:23:51,460 --> 00:23:59,860 What I'm hearing from the parents who called in today because I sent officers up there to make them aware of the no parking on that street because they're lining up an hour before school 290 00:24:01,780 --> 00:24:05,920 is they said we cannot get busing and they try to contact the 291 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,000 Groport Madison School District for busing and they said we have no bus 292 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,020 drivers to bring your kids so that what has happened is instead of one bus 293 00:24:13,020 --> 00:24:20,020 bringing in 10 15 20 30 kids whatever now we got 10 15 20 cars coming in and 294 00:24:20,020 --> 00:24:24,860 that's what's causing a lot of these issues right I didn't know since we built 295 00:24:24,860 --> 00:24:29,020 the new high school if that was still an option for them to be able to 296 00:24:29,020 --> 00:24:34,620 Unload and load or somehow the traffic when the high school is my understanding from 297 00:24:34,620 --> 00:24:42,140 imagined schools that no that's not an option. Okay. Thank you Chief keep us 298 00:24:42,140 --> 00:24:44,440 updated on it. That's a big issue. 299 00:24:48,570 --> 00:24:51,510 Mr. Car. Thank you Mayor. I just want to let 300 00:24:51,510 --> 00:24:57,550 council know that in a curriculum myself recently it's ended training last week to 301 00:24:57,550 --> 00:24:59,570 to get some of our... 302 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:29,980 CPE hours for continuing education. Along with that, we also met the six hour requirement by the Treasurer State for the Center for Public Investment Management. Those six hours are required in order for the city to invest in the type of investments that we currently have in our portfolio. So, we are compliant. And there's any questions other than that. I'd be happy to answer those questions. 303 00:25:29,980 --> 00:25:36,640 questions. Any questions? Mr. Car. Thank you, Jason. 304 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,200 Well, director, Mr. Shannon. I have nothing further to you. Thank you. Thank you. 305 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,260 We have a development director, Mr. Green. Real quick. I just wanted to bring up the 306 00:25:47,260 --> 00:25:50,920 speed on conversation, followed conversation I had with Matt Yerkis from 307 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,140 Caldevate. Following the discussion we have of counsel, he's still very interested 308 00:25:55,140 --> 00:26:00,360 working with the city and we talked about kind of a phased approach starting out 309 00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:08,400 with just an entrepreneurship technical assistance program with office hours where you can do one-on-one 310 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:17,260 mentoring and training and by weekly or sorry by monthly seminars or workshops probably held 311 00:26:17,260 --> 00:26:22,080 with golf boards. We need to provide him some kind of office space here which I don't think is going 312 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:28,380 to be too much of a problem. And then following up when the time is right if we can find a space 313 00:26:28,380 --> 00:26:34,440 we signed the second floor. He would like to maybe start small with trying to find some 314 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,080 place for some businesses, maybe three or four businesses, to get off the ground. So we've 315 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:44,640 started this program of incubation here in the city and then followed that up when the time is 316 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:50,140 right to convert one of the second floor spaces. So he's still interested, it'll be a part of my 317 00:26:50,140 --> 00:27:00,060 budget for 2022. So just want to let you know that. Any questions for Jeff?
