I've got on Van Deer and he has one and you 52 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,220 connect and you get to talk as my wife and kids. We like to take walks. We get to 53 00:04:08,220 --> 00:04:13,800 talk to them and there's no problem that they have theirs. I go down Applewood and 54 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,520 talk to the people back there and there's two sheds back there and there's no 55 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,700 problem. I have close friends from high school that have just recently moved in 56 00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:28,500 Arcadia and themselves and their neighbors that brought up to their backyard have three good 57 00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:32,980 out turkey foot. You can see him if you just look left if you're going towards Edgewood. 58 00:04:33,820 --> 00:04:38,360 Not only are they detached, but there's two of them right next to each other side by side. 59 00:04:40,820 --> 00:04:46,740 I have a secular point of view when I say I don't have a garage and we have a nice basement 60 00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:52,160 that we'd like to finish and it's not practical for me to finish a basement that's going to 61 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:59,460 smell like gasoline and W2 oil and you know the lawnmower when you get done 62 00:04:59,460 --> 00:05:04,200 cutment you know I have to love this thing up 12 basement steps you know I've 63 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,820 left it up because physically I just can't do it anymore 16 years in the 64 00:05:09,820 --> 00:05:17,120 Air Force physically shoulder and back it's it's too much and yes hindsight 2020 65 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,360 maybe when we first bought that house I could have considered that but I was 66 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:26,800 26 and so very spry and I've left it up and I've come to the point now where my annual 67 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,160 bonus in December I'll be right in the nice check to remove the lane against my house 68 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:39,340 for the fees which that's my cross to bear but I don't understand how these are all over 69 00:05:39,340 --> 00:05:48,840 the city and yet within my own neighborhood and yet I'm the one who's getting these letters 70 00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:54,440 every month. And I have a pretty good idea of what's going on. I keep that to myself 71 00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:01,680 I respect. But I do think it's for the greater good. I mean I've rent through all 72 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,580 the ordinances and trying to, being a financial analyst and trying to read through legal documents 73 00:06:06,580 --> 00:06:16,820 is a lot for me. But Crescent Spring, Crescue Hills, Fort Mitchell, Villa Hills, Edgewood, Park Hills, 74 00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:20,040 Even where I grew up in Fort Thomas, they all allow for these things. 75 00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:25,120 You know, I look at our ordinances and it says, yeah, you can have a gazebo. 76 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:26,000 Great. 77 00:06:26,460 --> 00:06:27,360 Go look at my backyard. 78 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:27,660 Where? 79 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,340 What house out of practical use to space? 80 00:06:29,660 --> 00:06:31,560 I got an in-ground pool if I wanted to. 81 00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:38,720 I can have a basketball court, but the fact that I can't get 56 square feet, so I don't 82 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,440 have to love things out of my basement, it's just, it's crazy to me. 83 00:06:43,940 --> 00:06:45,440 And just, I just don't understand it. 84 00:06:46,220 --> 00:06:50,100 and I feel like there's a personal vendetta against me 85 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,540 in my family and it's come to the point now 86 00:06:53,540 --> 00:06:57,000 where we have financial strife that I have to deal with. 87 00:06:57,100 --> 00:06:57,720 You know, that our bonus, 88 00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:00,980 that goes to kids' tuition of blessed sacrament, 89 00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:03,880 it goes to our vacation, it goes to our retirement fund, 90 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,320 and other projects you wanna do in the house. 91 00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:08,400 We haven't been able to put a deck on our back edition 92 00:07:08,860 --> 00:07:09,980 because of these things. 93 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,200 Yet I go and I talk to the guy who's got his right next 94 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,700 to the house just like I moved mine after I went to my hearing. They said that's been 95 00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:24,820 our workaround. I did that. I put it detached and I spent another you know thousand dollars 96 00:07:24,820 --> 00:07:30,420 on gravel and leveling it back out and yet on the only one still get bothered by this. 97 00:07:30,460 --> 00:07:34,400 And I can confirm that because I went and I actually knocked on people's doors and asked 98 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,300 them politely. And I don't want to give address is I think if anybody drives around and 99 00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:40,660 really has a keen eye to it, they'll be able to see it. 100 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,960 And I just don't understand how we're the only city. 101 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,080 I mean, as far as I'm concerned, because I went from the cities 102 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,920 and touch Lakeside Park to the adjacent, 103 00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:54,260 any further out your country. 104 00:07:54,540 --> 00:07:55,460 So it just makes sense. 105 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,600 You're allowed to have these things. 106 00:07:56,620 --> 00:07:57,700 Why were the only ones? 107 00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:00,560 I mean, I don't think it's a resale value. 108 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,480 I mean, I compared it to numbers. 109 00:08:02,540 --> 00:08:05,540 Looking at what the resale value is for a house 110 00:08:05,540 --> 00:08:06,940 and lakeside park are comparative. 111 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:13,880 and it's not like we're winning, you know, winning anything there. And I think, you know, 112 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,060 specifically to our neighborhood, I mean, there's family members in there that would like to put 113 00:08:18,060 --> 00:08:23,280 the dishes such as mine on the back of it. We love where we live. I don't want to move. That's 114 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:29,960 paid off. I bought my grand, my wife's grandparents house forever matter. I don't want to go anywhere, 115 00:08:30,460 --> 00:08:47,280 But I physically cannot sit here and justify why I have to watch everybody else, not everybody else, but other people who have put these things in pass, I mean the person right next door to me, in my address is on it, you'll better see it. 116 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,900 And I'm sure everybody in this, there's about the detached garage over there on Holiday Lane in the carport. 117 00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:58,700 there's a shadow right there. There's there's playhouses that are detached structures. 118 00:08:59,220 --> 00:09:04,660 I mail Corey Sharp down and zoning an ordinance and I said what constitutes a 119 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:13,300 playhouse? I'm curious. Maybe I'll convert it over. No response. I'm just I don't 120 00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:20,280 understand why I'm going to be cutting a chat for 3,500 bucks give or take in 121 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:27,540 December for this grievance when I seem like other people seem to be doing 122 00:09:27,540 --> 00:09:32,860 just fine. And I get a chest, you know, old, cool chest look at this. We have a blank slate. 123 00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:38,420 You guys can set the rules on what constitutes where it needs to be. Does it 124 00:09:38,420 --> 00:09:42,820 blend with the house? You know, does it have to have the same matching color as 125 00:09:42,820 --> 00:09:47,020 the exterior? I mean, that's just a blank slate. I just think this is an archaic 126 00:09:47,020 --> 00:09:53,460 thing that I think has come up enough after talking to many people in the city. And I just don't get it. 127 00:09:54,120 --> 00:10:01,920 And now I'll come to a point where it's become a financial burden for me. And I just don't get it. 128 00:10:02,220 --> 00:10:07,380 That's really all I have to say is I would like for everybody to take this back and to amend it. 129 00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:15,100 And if that's the thing, I don't know how all this works, but I just know that my family 130 00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:20,180 and I were just trying to make our property and the people around us better and live 131 00:10:20,180 --> 00:10:29,120 the best life we can, and I don't see why I breathe our city ordinances, and it's like if 132 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:35,280 I wanted to go spend 150,000 on a pool and get the permits and do all that, no one's going 133 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,000 to question it. 134 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:42,180 If I wanted to put a basketball court, again, I'm repeating myself, but I asked for 56-square 135 00:10:42,180 --> 00:10:47,320 feet for a long note or a radiator pressure washer in my kids' bikes and my mic, and 136 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:53,300 then some lawn care tools, minimal stuff, that I'm not allowed to have it, and nobody's 137 00:10:53,300 --> 00:10:57,920 allowed to have it, yet I see other people enjoying that privilege of having it. 138 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,860 And if I had a garage, you know, I could see the argument, I think if anybody were to 139 00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:09,360 come over to our neighborhood and had passed two kids and go look at what the 140 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,960 garages are over there. Where are you going to put all that stuff especially with 141 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,980 people driving?

Next is the mayor's report. 168 00:13:37,980 --> 00:13:43,880 After consultation with our police chief, I send out a letter to all our residents last 169 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:51,600 week that we have email addresses for about the growing problem of e-bikes and scooters. 170 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:59,740 While the police have tried to educate the children about how to operate these vehicles and 171 00:13:59,740 --> 00:14:09,260 the rules of the road, problems have persisted and doesn't show any sign of slowing down. 172 00:14:10,990 --> 00:14:18,780 Therefore, if riders are observed operating these vehicles in an unsafe manner, the riders 173 00:14:18,780 --> 00:14:26,840 may be escorted home by our police officers and if necessary the e-bikes may be 174 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:33,540 impounded temporarily. The letter also addressed growing concerns about 175 00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:39,840 vandalism and mischief mischief perpetrated by a very minority of our young 176 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:45,740 residents. Most people are unaware of the fact that we do have a curfew for 177 00:14:45,740 --> 00:14:53,840 everyone under the age of 18. If it's a school night, they have to be in by 10 o'clock. If it's a 178 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,260 The non-school night you have to be in by 11 o'clock. 179 00:14:58,700 --> 00:14:59,980 Our police department- 180 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:10,260 Unforce this informally. If it comes to a point that it's necessary, parents will be cited for these curfew violations. 181 00:15:13,180 --> 00:15:31,460 Along with my first comments about the e-bikes and scooters, council member Bernheimer passed along an article that appeared in the USA today last Friday about young e-bikes and e-scooter riders or injuries. 182 00:15:31,460 --> 00:15:32,460 injuries rising. 183 00:15:35,290 --> 00:15:40,870 Of those that are injured on this, one third suffered head and neck injuries. 184 00:15:41,610 --> 00:15:50,550 At 7% children and adolescents involve traumatic brain injuries. This is why I have been talking 185 00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:57,370 about this for quite a while. I provided a copy of this article to all the council members 186 00:15:57,370 --> 00:16:03,470 here and we can put it off. This is something that is very serious and needs to be addressed. 187 00:16:06,580 --> 00:16:13,800 Next point, our city receives funds from the National Opioid Settlement. There have been 188 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:22,400 several settlements. The amount that we receive isn't really enough to prepare a program for 189 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:28,280 assistance and those funds are restricted to that. Therefore, we've joined with Kent and 190 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:34,120 county and other cities to create the Kenton County Law Enforcement Navigator Program. 191 00:16:34,780 --> 00:16:40,920 These navigators step in to offer assistance that the legal and law enforcement systems 192 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,520 cannot effectively deal with. 193 00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:54,180 I've shared the quarterly report with our council members of that 27 of the 517 cases last 194 00:16:54,180 --> 00:17:00,460 last quarter originated in our police jurisdiction of Lakeside Park in Crestville Hills. 195 00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:13,140 These navigators help with emotional support, emotional crises, drug crises, and other 196 00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:19,220 items that are just outside the purview of regular law enforcement, and they have been 197 00:17:19,220 --> 00:17:20,320 very successful. 198 00:17:22,490 --> 00:17:29,450 You'll hear more details in the Recreation Report, but as you take a look around the Council 199 00:17:29,450 --> 00:17:37,090 Chambers tonight, we will be having a special presentation this week by Lakeside Park resident 200 00:17:37,090 --> 00:17:39,790 Lawrence Goodridge here at the city building. 201 00:17:40,890 --> 00:17:46,770 The hours do vary, the event celebrates visual displays concerning our country's heritage 202 00:17:46,770 --> 00:17:52,930 and the 250th anniversary, focusing on the Old West and World War II. 203 00:17:53,830 --> 00:17:59,770 This event is free, it's fun, I repeat free and educational. 204 00:18:01,030 --> 00:18:06,110 Please stop up to visit Mr. Goodridge and this display. 205 00:18:07,790 --> 00:18:14,310 I'd also like to publicly welcome our ninth grandchild, Alfred Freddie Lewis 206 00:18:14,310 --> 00:18:19,910 Mark Raff, who was born last Wednesday, August 5th, to her son Peter Mark Raff and his wife, 207 00:18:20,250 --> 00:18:26,850 down in Louisville. We're happy to report that all are doing well. And if anyone from Plantation 208 00:18:26,850 --> 00:18:34,730 Kentucky is viewing this, please vote for him to relax in the city council down there. And finally, 209 00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:42,130 The next mayor's group meeting will be held in City Hall's mayor this coming Saturday. 210 00:18:43,270 --> 00:18:45,510 That will include the mayor's report. 211 00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:47,690 Does anyone have any questions? 212 00:18:48,310 --> 00:18:49,230 I have two questions, Mayor. 213 00:18:49,330 --> 00:18:49,570 Yes, sir. 214 00:18:50,570 --> 00:18:56,530 I'm assuming we can talk about Mr. Shields issue later in old business to business. 215 00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:58,010 Is that the appropriate time? 216 00:18:58,810 --> 00:18:59,430 Yes, we can. 217 00:18:59,430 --> 00:19:07,730 Okay, and secondly, it seems like this e-bike issue has just been going on for quite a few months. 218 00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:11,710 I know you guys probably talked about it, the mayor's meeting for the last six, nine months. 219 00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:19,690 Is any city coming up with legislation or guidelines because I've talked to a couple of people. 220 00:19:19,710 --> 00:19:24,270 I think it's going to take a death, unfortunately, as some little kid before something happens. 221 00:19:24,270 --> 00:19:25,630 I mean, is there any? 222 00:19:26,470 --> 00:19:29,110 I understand that the city of Fort Thomas 223 00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:32,030 has had a first reading of an ordinance. 224 00:19:33,970 --> 00:19:37,850 And Canton County, the mayors have been talking about it 225 00:19:37,850 --> 00:19:41,490 and we have asked PDS, because PDS is funded 226 00:19:41,490 --> 00:19:45,050 by all of our cities to come up with some type 227 00:19:45,050 --> 00:19:49,350 of a prototype ordinance, restricting 228 00:19:49,350 --> 00:20:02,270 or creating some kind of educational requirement to use them.

It's 626 00:51:31,390 --> 00:51:34,210 always been very well received. 627 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,880 It is the other questions or comments? I would 628 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:47,120 just add yeah those moms get great reviews. Everybody talk to you said they're 629 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:52,500 just some of the best. So if we could just maybe spread the word because they are 630 00:51:52,500 --> 00:51:59,140 beautiful and they go to a great cost our troops so if we get spread to more spread the word on that the 631 00:51:59,140 --> 00:52:06,540 more we sell the more donations we can make our troops. I thought the other thing that was on the 632 00:52:06,540 --> 00:52:12,380 recreation is volunteers if you have your high school kids or kids that need to get service hours 633 00:52:12,380 --> 00:52:17,780 we can have some ideas from here if they want to contact the city building and we might be able to 634 00:52:17,780 --> 00:52:22,520 find some things way for them to get their public service 635 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:27,860 and they will get the proper paperwork to go along like that. 636 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:31,440 Well, thank you. 637 00:52:32,660 --> 00:52:38,060 Next is there any old business hearing done? 638 00:52:38,460 --> 00:52:39,120 New business. 639 00:52:40,300 --> 00:52:42,440 Mayor, this was probably actually under old business. 640 00:52:42,580 --> 00:52:46,660 I remember talking about Sheds 12 years ago. 641 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,120 I know we've looked at it, 642 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:55,820 and I think we just tailored it for whatever reasons, I don't know if I'm the 643 00:52:55,820 --> 00:53:03,180 other one that hears about shits. I know the reasoning behind shits and 644 00:53:03,180 --> 00:53:09,380 above-ground swimming pools, but I just remember working on that was when Diane 645 00:53:09,380 --> 00:53:15,760 St. Andrews here and we just couldn't settle on something that had uniformity 646 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:23,380 that all the council at the time are the mayor agreed to so I for one and 647 00:53:23,380 --> 00:53:29,080 up for looking at this issue and seeing if it's something we want to 648 00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:36,120 consider throwing it up to other council members I agree with you Dave I think 649 00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:41,240 we have to be like it'll be you know have to be something really spelled out I 650 00:53:41,240 --> 00:53:45,760 guess so that it's like stay on concrete so I don't know but just very well spelled 651 00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:50,020 out to look good in the city and it won't take away from the beauty of the city. 652 00:53:50,420 --> 00:53:54,520 It kind of goes along with like the touch garage like you have to have the room. I don't 653 00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:58,540 know that it gets complicated there and I want to even suggest but I think we should 654 00:53:58,540 --> 00:54:01,260 look at it. I personally agree with you. 655 00:54:06,530 --> 00:54:14,010 This has been something that has been brought up many times since I was elected to council 656 00:54:14,010 --> 00:54:24,710 on 2005. One thing that I wanted to clarify for Mr. Shields is that there are people that 657 00:54:24,710 --> 00:54:32,070 have them. They were grandfathered in when the zoning laws changed. 658 00:54:34,410 --> 00:54:35,370 You are not being 659 00:54:35,370 --> 00:54:41,690 singled out. There have been many other people who have been given the notices that their 660 00:54:41,690 --> 00:54:50,490 Sheds are not allowed when they put the mom or they had contacted pds beforehand at told that they were not allowed 661 00:54:52,030 --> 00:54:56,250 There is one other that is actively in the process 662 00:54:59,250 --> 00:55:02,470 That the shed was ordered to be removed 663 00:55:03,990 --> 00:55:05,750 Council has not 664 00:55:07,150 --> 00:55:07,790 Chosen 665 00:55:08,890 --> 00:55:19,150 to allow sheds, the last time this was brought up was one we brought the, the, the Z-21, 666 00:55:19,910 --> 00:55:29,770 zoning ordinances and the entire revamping. And when that came up for a vote, I specifically 667 00:55:29,770 --> 00:55:37,270 did bring that issue off that council was not in favor of changing it at that time 668 00:55:38,550 --> 00:55:48,050 because that is it has been a hot topic so if council wants to look into it that 669 00:55:48,050 --> 00:55:50,650 is the program council as 670 00:55:52,860 --> 00:55:58,840 you know I do not have a vote on zoning issues but 671 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:06,700 one there is an ordinance on the table we do seek to enforce them equally as we 672 00:56:06,700 --> 00:56:16,380 can. People are not being singled out. Part of the problem is we don't always get 673 00:56:16,380 --> 00:56:21,600 complaints and the sheds are not always visible from the street. 674 00:56:28,150 --> 00:56:29,130 That's my take on 675 00:56:29,130 --> 00:56:33,770 it right now. Well I think it never hurts to go back and review 676 00:56:33,770 --> 00:56:38,670 certain ordinances when they seem to be problematic doesn't guarantee that 677 00:56:38,670 --> 00:56:41,870 there'll be anything changed in them but it doesn't hurt to take a look at them 678 00:56:41,870 --> 00:56:46,970 and see if there's some leeway, some modernization that can take place to make 679 00:56:46,970 --> 00:56:48,570 them 50 current circumstances. 680 00:56:50,870 --> 00:56:56,150 Did you volunteer Dave? I'm a copy of the organ.
