15
00:00:22,780 --> 00:00:23,360

Here. Now, if everyone will please stand and join me in the pledge of allegiance.

17
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:28,700

one nation, under God, in a fiscal with liberty and justice for all.

20
00:00:51,980 --> 00:00:57,820
Council has copies of the August 27, 2026, regular council meeting minutes.

21
00:00:58,660 --> 00:01:00,280
Are there any changes or corrections?

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,780
Hearing none, the minutes are approved as the minute.

23
00:01:07,340 --> 00:01:10,280
Now we're going to have, I have a proclamation.

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,620
The DM Marine Proclamation, whereas September 11, 20, 0, 1,

25
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:21,160
remains a day etched in the hearts and memories of our nation,

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,020
and whereas on that day, countless innocent lives were lost.

27
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:29,400
Families were forever changed, and communities across our country

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,280
came together in grief, courage, and compassion.

29
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,360
And whereas we remember the victims in honor of their lives while recognizing the extraordinary

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:46,340
bravery and sacrifice of the first responders, firefighters, police officers, emergency workers,

31
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,820
and ordinary citizens who helped others in the face of a imaginable circumstances.

32
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:57,860
And whereas the patches of time does not diminish the importance of remembering those

33
00:01:57,860 --> 00:02:04,220
we lost for the families and loved ones who continue to carry their memory, and where as September

34
00:02:04,220 --> 00:02:11,200
11 reminds us of the strength, hunting, compassion, unity, service, and our commitment to

35
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,520
care for one another. Now therefore, I, Terry Murphy, mayor of the city of Moray, Ohio, do

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:23,620
hereby proclaim that the citizens of the city of Moray, pause to remember those who were lost

37
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:30,620

38
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,020
gratitude, and rememands. May we never forget.

00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:48,860
Now we'll go into reports for the following.

40
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,100

00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:10,710
committee of the whole

45
00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:15,850

46
00:03:15,850 --> 00:03:20,310
and there is another meeting tonight following this meeting. Thank you.

47
00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:25,150

Mr. Delph.

91
00:05:52,460 --> 00:05:52,480
Yes.

92
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:53,760
Mrs. Wet.

93
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:55,100
Yes.

94
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,340
Mr. Mellar? Yes. Mr. Dharady? Yes. Mayor Murphy? Yes.

95
00:06:07,210 --> 00:06:10,170
And we have no other votes. So, at this time,

96
00:06:10,350 --> 00:06:12,470
any person's appearing before Council.

97
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,460
Third, you will have three minutes.

98
00:06:29,470 --> 00:06:30,070
Mayor Murphy,

99
00:06:30,110 --> 00:06:35,410
members of Council, City Manager Davis. I'm David Ezraudy, owner of the next wave marketing

100
00:06:35,410 --> 00:06:41,670
innovation and data. I've been buying print and managing commercial printing for 38 years.

101
00:06:42,690 --> 00:06:48,970
I'm not here tonight asking you to award the Marine Messenger contract to my firm.

102
00:06:49,450 --> 00:06:53,990
That RFP is dead. You receive two proposals rejected both and canceled it.

103
00:06:54,850 --> 00:06:59,790
I'm here because before you issue another one, I think somebody needs to ask whether this process

104
00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:05,170
was designed to get marine taxpayers the best product for at the best price.

105
00:07:05,970 --> 00:07:07,090
Here's the basic problem.

106
00:07:07,630 --> 00:07:09,370
Well, you should tell you what the law requires.

107
00:07:09,850 --> 00:07:14,410
Pershing staff should administer a fair bidding process, but when you are buying printing,

108
00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:19,150
somebody who understands printing really needs to make the technical decisions.

109
00:07:19,950 --> 00:07:24,970
Your official bid express answer said the messenger had to be digitally printed because

110
00:07:24,970 --> 00:07:27,130
the city supplies the printer with a PDF.

111
00:07:27,130 --> 00:07:29,290
That is simply...

112
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,020
Technically wrong. PDF is a standard production format for both digital and offset printing.

113
00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:38,630
Your specifications

114
00:07:38,630 --> 00:07:45,430
called for 100 pound paper on the cover and 80 pound inside. I offered 100 pound throughout at my quoted price,

115
00:07:45,590 --> 00:07:52,430
so it was initially told that that made my proposal non-compliant. I proposed offsets to cast it printing

116
00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:58,750
because at 4200 copies I believed it provided better quality and value. I also proposed folding smaller

117
00:07:58,750 --> 00:08:03,610
conditions for mailing because an eight and half by 11 flat and cost you considerably more

118
00:08:03,610 --> 00:08:09,630
to mail than a properly prepared letter-sized booklet. Only after the RFP was cancelled,

119
00:08:09,830 --> 00:08:13,250
the city staff started asking the postal service whether the fold-in could reduce the mailing

120
00:08:13,250 --> 00:08:20,450
cost. Then there's bid express. You make business pay a private company for the privilege of giving

121
00:08:20,450 --> 00:08:26,470
marine a price. You got two bidders. The record showed that the city staff helping the incumbent

122
00:08:26,470 --> 00:08:29,210
when it had trouble submitting through BitExpress.

123
00:08:30,650 --> 00:08:34,090
I handed each of you a 24-page piece produced by the next wave.

124
00:08:34,130 --> 00:08:37,210
It's saddle stitched and printed on 100-pound text.

125
00:08:37,490 --> 00:08:38,330
You can feel it.

126
00:08:38,410 --> 00:08:42,470
You can print specifications or not abstractions, paper, press,

127
00:08:42,810 --> 00:08:45,830
choice, finishing, and mailing all effect quality and cost.

128
00:08:46,790 --> 00:08:47,830
I won't marines business.

129
00:08:48,390 --> 00:08:51,170
I believe I can give you excellent quality service and value.

130
00:08:51,710 --> 00:08:54,150
But whether you eventually hire me or somebody else,

131
00:08:54,150 --> 00:09:00,940
Please have someone who actually understands commercial printing and mailing review the next RFP before you issue it

132
00:09:02,050 --> 00:09:08,790
Specify the result you need allow equal or better solutions give every bit of the same access

133
00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:13,950
Then let qualified companies compete on price quality and total value for the taxpayers

134
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:17,630
That's what competitive bidding is supposed to accomplish

135
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,040
and I answer any questions

136
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,960
Thank you

137
00:09:29,260 --> 00:09:35,320
we will go into any other business our department anything to report

138
00:09:36,580 --> 00:09:44,540
just wanted to say that our last safety fest is September 22nd at medical part

139
00:09:47,930 --> 00:09:52,750
police department anything to report never report mayor thank you

140
00:09:52,750 --> 00:09:58,270
building a maintenance anything to report um the update on the front uh it is happening

141
00:09:58,270 --> 00:10:03,350
Mother Nature kind of through a little wrench in our plan, so it kind of postponed us.

142
00:10:03,350 --> 00:10:04,650
I'm starting this week.

143
00:10:04,970 --> 00:10:07,730
We're hoping to as long as weather permits.

144
00:10:08,050 --> 00:10:15,750
Hopefully we can start kicking off the refresh on the front of the building from the

145
00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:17,130
from the drainage accident.

146
00:10:17,710 --> 00:10:19,290
So that's all I have.

147
00:10:19,450 --> 00:10:20,190
Thank you.

148
00:10:24,340 --> 00:10:25,940
Parks and Recreation Director.

149
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:27,600
Good evening.

150
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:28,320
Yeah.

151
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:38,620
So I just want to let everybody know about tomorrow, to deal and staff have been spending some time for tomorrow.

152
00:10:39,220 --> 00:10:44,940
I know tomorrow is going to be a special and emotional day since it's been 25 years since 9-11.

153
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:50,780
So tomorrow is what we're calling the Patriots Day Walk of Remembrance.

154
00:10:52,340 --> 00:10:54,140
I don't necessarily want to call it a celebration.

155
00:10:55,740 --> 00:10:56,340
Celebration.

156
00:10:56,340 --> 00:11:02,940
remembrance. So, beginning at 11 a.m. tomorrow, we welcome everyone to walk our mile-long timeline

157
00:11:02,940 --> 00:11:09,680
of the events from September 11 at the 2001. The timeline starts near the stop sign at the

158
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:15,540
Rec Center. There will be a tent there so you will see where that is. One direction will show you

159
00:11:15,540 --> 00:11:26,320
the list of the 2,977 victims names first and the other direction will show you the order of the

160
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,720
So be prepared.

161
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,160
Everyone who walks will receive a little Pelpin from staff at the beginning of the trail.

162
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:40,820
If you can't attend at 11 a.m. start time, you can still pick up a pin at the Marine Rec Center front desk.

163
00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:46,900
We will leave the signs out so people can walk it whenever they so choose tomorrow.

164
00:11:48,180 --> 00:11:50,060
We hope to see everybody out there.

165
00:11:50,060 --> 00:11:56,200
There won't be a ceremony. It will just be you come and you walk. That's all we're asking for.

166
00:11:56,940 --> 00:12:04,620
So city staff anybody please come and be a part of it. It's again, not a celebration. It's a remembrance.

167
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,000
So if there's any questions on that, I'm here to answer those.

168
00:12:09,500 --> 00:12:17,040
But I also wanted to let you know that we did get the survey put together for Penical Park Improvement.

169
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:23,680
So we finalized this. We're ordering the signs and we'll start putting them out and all the neighborhoods up there

170
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,900
Starting next week once the signs come in. So you'll probably see those in

171
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:35,820
front of some of the parks maybe a couple yards, but we did get that done, and you'll see that next week. So

172
00:12:35,820 --> 00:12:38,160
Thank you. That's all

173
00:12:38,820 --> 00:12:43,400
Building and zoning administrator anything to report. I'm nothing to report. Thank you

174
00:12:43,940 --> 00:12:46,300
Did he engineer anything to report?

175
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,520
Nothing further, thank you.

176
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,440
Did he plan or anything to report?

177
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,220
I just want to thank Council for the appointment to the NVRPC technical advisor committee

178
00:12:55,220 --> 00:12:57,520
Beyond that, nothing else to report.

179
00:12:59,770 --> 00:13:01,650
Community developed director.

180
00:13:02,230 --> 00:13:04,690
No further report, Mayor, thank you.

181
00:13:04,830 --> 00:13:07,030
Did he manage or anything further to report?

182
00:13:07,270 --> 00:13:09,250
I have no items, Mayor. Thank you.

183
00:13:10,090 --> 00:13:12,030
Law director, anything further to report?

184
00:13:12,190 --> 00:13:13,590
No, Mayor, thank you.

185
00:13:13,590 --> 00:13:18,410
by an instructor anything further to report of nothing further. Thank you, Mayor.

186
00:13:18,610 --> 00:13:20,610
Clerk of council anything to report.

187
00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:26,010
Yeah, I just want to remind everyone that we are one month away from the Schredding event at the

188
00:13:26,010 --> 00:13:32,210
Rock Center on October 10th. So if you have anything to bring out, please start packaging it up and

189
00:13:32,210 --> 00:13:33,870
get in the ready. Thank you.

190
00:13:36,540 --> 00:13:38,480
Mr. Delph, anything to report?

191
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,140
I have never report, Mayor. Thank you.

192
00:13:41,140 --> 00:13:43,800
And so, don't worry, I need to report.

193
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,640
Just, it was nice to see that Marine was actually

194
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,500
feared in the National League of Cities.

195
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,640
We put out an article and featured us

196
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,820
for our use of our census data,

197
00:13:56,300 --> 00:13:58,820
and especially considering our comprehensive plan and our

198
00:13:58,820 --> 00:14:02,680
works plan, and just kind of need to see some, you know,

199
00:14:02,740 --> 00:14:04,200
national spotlight for us.

200
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,360
As of that, also, I attended the NVRPC Board of Directors

201
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,680
meeting this past Thursday.

202
00:14:10,460 --> 00:14:38,000
One of the things that was discussed is actually the Miami Conservancy District is looking at changing the way that they are implementing their, basically the, not the taxes, but the word of my looking for Mike, the assessment, so the assessment won't be based on, as if it goes through it won't be based on property taxes, property values going forward.

203
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:44,980
would be based on the actual need of the residents based on how close they are to the Miami

204
00:14:44,980 --> 00:14:53,780
Valley or Miami River watershed. But and then also coming up on October 7th at 2 p.m.

205
00:14:53,780 --> 00:14:59,280
It's a Wednesday. I guess my wife is organized with fire marshal Hatcher.

206
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:15,720
A firehouse walk through, and they're going to go through, they're going to get dressed up in their gear, kind of show kids around, so she wanted to make sure that I mentioned it that any kids go ahead and go on out and see what we have going on.

207
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,700
Mr. Miller, anything to report?

208
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:28,040
Just want to wish Andy Parrish from Police Division a happy retirement and thank him for his 25 years of service.

209
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,700
Thank you.

210
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,960
Miss what anything to report?

211
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,600
Yes, I did attend Andy Parrish's retirement party, the Police Department.

212
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,000
They did it upright and we're going to miss Andy.

213
00:15:40,780 --> 00:15:43,200
He's been a fixture around here for 25 years.

214
00:15:43,420 --> 00:15:44,540
We've seen him grow.

215
00:15:44,540 --> 00:15:53,920
He did a marvelous job, also Penny Saben retired, I believe, after 30 years, and I was able to come over for hers.

216
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,080
And we appreciate all of our employees.

217
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:05,780
And when we see them attain the, get to the place where they retire, it hurts.

218
00:16:06,140 --> 00:16:08,500
And always tell them, can't you stay a little bit longer?

219
00:16:09,340 --> 00:16:10,180
And they never do.

220
00:16:10,460 --> 00:16:11,700
I don't know what I mean.

221
00:16:13,780 --> 00:16:36,440
Anyway, we do have a great staff. We have great employees. Thank you. Miss Marcus, anything to report? No report. Miss Allen, anything to report? Nothing to add. Thank you. Okay, and I want to say that I went to Andy Perry's retirement, and it was a really nice, the police department really do go overboard.

222
00:16:38,140 --> 00:16:45,860
But he had a lot of achievements that didn't know about, I mean, it was really, too, yeah,

223
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:51,420
you couldn't have listed all of them that he got over the years, and it was sad to see

224
00:16:51,420 --> 00:16:56,500
Penteco at a finance and a fixture here for a really long time.

225
00:16:56,820 --> 00:17:04,600
We're going to miss her, and I had a mayor's a manager's meeting last night, we had it in

226
00:17:06,420 --> 00:17:14,020
And just like you, we had the Miami Valley Conservatory come and do a slide.

227
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,200
Yeah, the slide show, the little bit.

228
00:17:16,540 --> 00:17:18,200
So we got to see that too.

229
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,640
So I'm got to see it twice.

230
00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:23,060
You know, and that, so I'm sorry for them.

231
00:17:24,060 --> 00:17:29,520
But so I would also like to, and oh, and everyone come for the Walk tomorrow.

232
00:17:29,740 --> 00:17:31,400
I think it's a really big deal.

233
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:38,080
If you can make it, the remember, the September 11th and everything that happened that day

234
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,460
just take a little bit of your time, Marum.

235
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:47,940
I would also like to thank the Miami Valley Communications Council for broadcasting this meeting

236
00:17:47,940 --> 00:17:54,120
as live as well as any future rebroadcast and this regular council meeting is adjourned

237
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:55,180
at 617.
