Encourage everyone to focus on the abilities of all people. 24 00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:09,840 The most effective way to increase this awareness is through everyone's active 25 00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:13,840 participation in community activities and the openness to learn and to 26 00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:17,760 acknowledge each individual's contribution. 27 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:22,000 We encourage all citizens to support opportunities for people with 28 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:28,800 disabilities that include full access to education, housing, employment, and 29 00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:35,360 recreational activities.

Thank you. Would you like to come up? 36 00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:15,599 While they're making their way up, I would like to just add a little bit 37 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:20,800 here. Um, since I became mayor, I've been asked um 38 00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:26,400 for the Special Olympics. They've asked me to lead their torch walk. Um, a 39 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:30,480 couple other things. And then um about a year and a half ago, I was asked to 40 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:35,280 throw the first pitch out for a um Special Olympic softball game. And um I 41 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:39,519 was honored to be able to do that. And after doing that um they were short a 42 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:45,120 coach and then they asked me if I would coach first base and I did. and I had 43 00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:51,040 probably the most fun I could I have had in a long time. And then since then I 44 00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:55,840 would been asked to be um on the uh Special Olympics golf team. So I have a 45 00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:59,920 partner that plays golf that's a special uh Olympic athlete and him and I 46 00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:06,400 practice together. We've worked really hard. Um we won our regional um that was 47 00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:11,680 in Finley and then we went to uh state in Columbus and um we came in fourth 48 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:16,799 place and I'm looking forward to doing that again this year. That's just one of 49 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:20,720 » He made you look really good, didn't he? >> You know, and he taught me a lot where, 50 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,280 you know, I hit a bad shot and, you know, I may have said something I 51 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:28,720 probably shouldn't have, but he's like, "Joe, it's okay that, you know, we all 52 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:32,240 hit bad shots." I'm thinking and put me in, you know, my thoughts in 53 00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:35,440 perspective. >> So, I'll let you two talk about 54 00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:36,880 » Thank you, Jeff. Can I ask you to sign this, please? 55 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,240 » Sure. >> While I chat at you a little bit, 56 00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:43,280 Christina is gonna make sure these make it around the table. It's just a small 57 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,880 fact sheet on hope. >> Introduce yourselves. 58 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,840 » Yes. >> Thank you. 59 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:52,240 » My name is Don McBride and I work with infants and toddlers at Hope. I have 60 00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:57,680 been with the Hope program for 42 years. All of young children all six and under. 61 00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:03,199 So infants and toddlers aren't my thing. A lot of people are saying what do you 62 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:06,960 do with infants and toddlers? Lots. Our babies come to us sometimes with medical 63 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:12,960 diagnosises. It may be that they are missing a limb, 64 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:18,479 maybe down syndrome, maybe yes, we do have uh alcohol and drug addicted babies 65 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:22,720 in Henry County. It might have that. It could be young parents that are at risk. 66 00:05:21,039 --> 00:05:26,960 Many of our kids come with, we don't know the medical reason, but they're 67 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:31,680 behind on language. Communication is probably the number one reason that kids 68 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:37,199 are referred right now. We also work with kids with motor delays. Sometimes 69 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:42,320 those tough to parent kids we don't know what's going on, but they 70 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:47,840 are fussy, maybe they gag, maybe they just do some different things. We can 71 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:52,479 often show families, caregivers, um, strategies to use with them to make 72 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:56,880 life just a little easier. All the kids have to qualify with some kind of 73 00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:02,240 developmental life. So, we serve that. Hope serves from birth through 74 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:06,160 adulthood. Lots of different services. So, if they come in early intervention, 75 00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:10,639 we help work to preschool. The goal is we start with kids at risk with delays 76 00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:14,720 and hopefully we are good at what we do. The kids do well and we can just narrow 77 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:18,880 that focus and not as many people will need services all their life. And if 78 00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:23,199 they do, we have people that will provide those services. Christina is 79 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,880 involved with the adult program. This is Christina Clark. She's going to tell you 80 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:31,280 a little bit about what she does at Hope. 81 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:35,280 I'm the receptionist for Hope Services, the morning receptionist. 82 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:42,039 I involved with voices of hope that stand 83 00:06:39,039 --> 00:06:42,039 for 84 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:50,000 » I'm really bad at that selfy group standing up for yourself and 85 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:57,600 speaking the for rights and responsibility for other people. Um I'm 86 00:06:53,600 --> 00:07:03,680 involved with the hope foundation which a 87 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:09,120 group that what if your waiverss don't cover something you can go to that 88 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:13,039 um special Olympics 89 00:07:11,919 --> 00:07:18,960 housing >> I I have a provider um easy living 90 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:20,400 » and you have a roommate a couple roommates? 91 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:25,039 » Yep. >> Two of them. and her provider just comes 92 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:31,520 in um provides assistance only where she needs it. So Christina does a lot with 93 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:37,840 hope. Joe talked about Special Olympics. That was a perfect segue. Special 94 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:42,000 Olympics has so many programs. We have all kinds of video game programs. We 95 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:47,440 have all your major sports. There's horseback riding. There's tons of stuff 96 00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:53,039 that individuals can choose to do. Individuals, you see them around our 97 00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:57,680 community. I hope at least um working, playing, recreating, touring arts is a 98 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:02,000 big deal right now. People are liking that art and crafting things and so we 99 00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:08,160 have a lot of individuals that take part in that as well. Do you have any 100 00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:11,759 questions about hope at all? Everybody kind of familiar a 101 00:08:10,479 --> 00:08:14,960 little bit? >> How can people get involved if they want 102 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:19,120 to help with something? >> Yeah, we're always looking for 103 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:22,720 volunteers or just helpful hands. We do fundraisers, lots of fundraisers. So if 104 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:27,039 you see that, if you support us in fundraisers, that's terrific. We can use 105 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:32,320 volunteers for Special Olympics, other programs as well. Um, sometimes we just 106 00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:36,800 need simple things. We'll put it out on Facebook. Anybody have One of them was 107 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:41,200 yarn. Anybody have some yarn? Anybody have some? So we try to do that. 108 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:46,640 » Right now, Voices of Hope is doing a fundraiser. 109 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:50,720 You can buy a March DD awareness month magnet for $5. 110 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:54,880 » Yeah, just call the office and we have those available. We'd love to share them 111 00:08:52,640 --> 00:09:00,120 with you. >> Thank you for letting us come tonight. 112 00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:00,120 We appreciate your work. 113 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,760 » Thank you. 114 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,760 All right, 115 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:25,680 that was going to be hard at top, but we'll move to item uh our manual 116 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:30,080 presentation. Chief, do you want to kick us off there? 117 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:35,680 » Uh, sure. Can we have here uh Ben Williams uh 118 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:40,320 and Nikki Ferguson from the man unit? Um, I'm going to go ahead and and let 119 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:44,399 you uh speak for a couple of seconds here on on what we're talking about here 120 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,680 and what our request is. >> Sure. 121 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:54,160 » And then these folks will be able to kind of give you a little bit of 122 00:09:50,320 --> 00:10:00,000 background on what this project is and and uh what Nikki does in in her role at 123 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:05,600 the man unit and and how important this uh like I say this request really is. 124 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:10,480 So, thank you. is the the one Ohio fund. Is that that's correct? So, um there is 125 00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:14,800 a settlement out there that goes through the one Ohio fund. Currently, the city 126 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:21,600 of Napoleon has the fund that's been there for a period of time. Not quite 127 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:28,240 sure how often that payouts are made, but uh it's not it's not um it's not 128 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:32,880 regular, but we do have money there. Um Chief brought this to my attention. This 129 00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:38,959 is something that can only be used for um drug addiction education and we 130 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:43,519 haven't had a a proper use for it previous to this until um Chief Le 131 00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:48,560 brought to my attention the man unit and uh Nikki Ferguson's role with them. Um 132 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:53,120 they spent a little bit of time with me a week or so ago to um explain some of 133 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:58,880 the work that she does, the important work that she does across uh five 134 00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:05,839 counties, six counties. And um I think that uh after you hear what they have to 135 00:11:01,839 --> 00:11:12,320 say, uh it may be in your interest to um use that money that sits in that fund to 136 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:15,920 help um finance this position to continue. So I'm sure they can explain a 137 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:20,160 lot better than I can, but that's the that's the meat of it. So hi, welcome 138 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:23,200 back, Ben. Welcome back. >> Thank you for having us. Thank you for 139 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:27,120 your time. Uh we just appreciate any support that you might guys might give 140 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:32,079 us. We're a sixcount drug task force like the chief mentioned. Um in 2024 we 141 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,839 started this liaison position for substance abuse and mental health. I'll 142 00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:39,440 let Nikki talk. Um but that previously was funded through a federal co-op grant 143 00:11:38,079 --> 00:11:42,640 and unfortunately that's not being renewed. So we're trying to be proactive 144 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:47,519 to keep this position going because it's so successful. Um it it really impacts 145 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,560 your community, the six county community and I'll turn it over to Nikki. But uh 146 00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:53,200 any help and support we really appreciate. 147 00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:57,040 » Hi Nikki. >> Hi. Good evening. 148 00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:01,680 As he said, my position was started in November of 2024. It was developed so 149 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:05,600 that I would respond to overdoses, both fatal and non-fatal. If it's a fatal 150 00:12:03,839 --> 00:12:09,200 overdose, my goal is to connect the family members to grief support services 151 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:13,120 specific to the type of grief that they are going through. If it is a non-fatal 152 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:17,600 overdose, my goal is to connect that person to treatment and services. I also 153 00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:22,240 take referrals from police departments. So, it's it's been developed as the 154 00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:25,680 position has gone on and we really realized we it doesn't have to be at 155 00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:29,760 that crisis point until we step in. So, we take referrals and we just actually 156 00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:33,200 last week received a QR code where anybody in the community can make 157 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:36,800 referrals if they have somebody whether it's a family member, friend, neighbor 158 00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:40,800 that they know is in need of treatment for mental health and substance use 159 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:44,800 disorder. Um, I've also been had the fortune to work with uh Chief Bowen and 160 00:12:42,959 --> 00:12:48,320 Napoleon Fire Department to develop a leave behind program. Uh we only have 161 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:52,079 that in two of our counties right now, Napoleon and Defiance. But both uh 162 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,680 Napoleon and Defiance City Fire Department stepped up. And what that 163 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,959 entails is if you have somebody who overdoses and they sign off against 164 00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:03,680 medical advice, they don't want to go to the hospital, the fire department can 165 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:07,360 leave them with Nlloxxone, Narcan. Um and then also they will leave them with 166 00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:10,800 a resource card and my business card so that they have the ability to maybe if 167 00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:15,040 they're not ready right then to reach out for services, they have the ability 168 00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:18,800 to reach out in the future. Um, we do a lot of education within the schools. Um, 169 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,079 and then I work quite a bit with the health department here in Henry County. 170 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:25,760 Uh, I had the fortune to work for Henry County Sheriff's Office before I went to 171 00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:30,880 the man unit. So, I was already familiar with the work that Henry County Health 172 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:34,079 Department was doing. Um, really what's unfortunate is we do have the smallest 173 00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:36,800 in our fourount area, the smallest population here in Henry County, but we 174 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:42,160 have the second highest number of overdoses. Um, I think that they have 175 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:45,279 really taken a very proactive step at the health department and I know Chief 176 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:48,720 Le and Chief Bowen are very active in those meetings as well as far as the 177 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,880 Narcan boxes that they have and making that available to the public. So, uh, I 178 00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:56,560 actually sat down in a meeting with them today to see how we can expand the Leap 179 00:13:54,399 --> 00:14:00,480 Behind program from just Napoleon Fire Department to the rest of the fire 180 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:04,720 departments in Henry County as well. Um, but I'm open if any of you have any 181 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:10,399 questions or um, so I can further explain kind of what we're doing. 182 00:14:08,079 --> 00:14:14,480 So Nikki, these uh one Ohio funds, could you speak specifically on where those 183 00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:18,720 funds would be going towards? >> Yeah, I'll take over that. Sure. So 184 00:14:16,079 --> 00:14:21,279 basically, um her position was funded through grants through the federal 185 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,800 grants and unfortunately those aren't getting renewed. So all the monies that 186 00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:28,320 we receive from local governments, like I said, we're six county task force. So 187 00:14:26,959 --> 00:14:33,040 we're going to all the local governments within our jurisdiction and trying to 188 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:37,440 get support for that position. and all that money that we do coupe will go to 189 00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:41,120 earmark for her for the future longevity of her position. There are some future 190 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:45,120 grants that we're hoping for. The one Ohio Foundation has some other grants 191 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:49,680 that we've applied for. Uh but currently we haven't heard any news on any funding 192 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:53,199 in the future, but we're definitely it's promising, but for right now we're just 193 00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:57,519 trying to be proactive and any monies we do come into. We're going to earmark it 194 00:14:54,720 --> 00:15:01,279 for the future and also continue to improve her position and we're looking 195 00:14:59,199 --> 00:15:06,320 to even expand it just because of how successful it is and and the need is 196 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:09,760 it's it's hard for one person to you know combat the whole sixcount area. So 197 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:15,839 it's a lot for her and so we're trying to expand that. So yeah, 198 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:21,600 » thanks Ben. if I could tag in. Um, one of the things about this money is 199 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:28,079 it's very niche on what you can use it for. So, I can't just use it for 200 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:32,720 anything. We get it as a settlement. And um, you know, I could put up a billboard 201 00:15:30,959 --> 00:15:36,000 with it. What's a billboard? It's an 202 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:40,480 advertisement. Nikki's getting out there. She is out there 203 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:44,560 in the, you know, in the dirt. she's out there taking care of people and 204 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:50,880 otherwise this money is going to sit there and it's not going to do anything 205 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:57,360 for us. Uh we turn this over uh like the other uh members of the man unit are uh 206 00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:02,959 also in turn doing the same thing uh we're ask or they're asking us to do as 207 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:06,079 well. And uh like I say, we're going to get actually get some use out of this 208 00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:10,480 money. And that's uh that's why I felt it was so important to bring it to you 209 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:15,839 and and see if we could get this uh money freed up for that. 210 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:19,120 » Thanks, Chief. >> Lori, can you talk about kind of next 211 00:16:17,199 --> 00:16:22,160 steps from here? >> Um 212 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:29,199 well, our finance director would have been helpful. 213 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:35,360 Um there is, I believe, uh in the in the probably $33,000 in that account at this 214 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:40,720 time. Um, I believe Chief and I discussed that um, we would not 215 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:45,920 necessarily ask for all of that, but good portion of that. Maybe leave 3,000 216 00:16:43,199 --> 00:16:51,199 there for something that may arise in the future. Like I said, we don't know 217 00:16:47,839 --> 00:16:57,040 that there won't be more added to that in the future. Um, 218 00:16:53,519 --> 00:17:01,600 » the uh, it's possible annually there would be small amounts. Just depends on 219 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:08,559 the government, >> right? And so the other counties have 220 00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:13,520 all pitched in a certain amount ranging from 221 00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:19,280 20 to 30,000. So we would be in that with right within that range. So I guess 222 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:26,160 tonight we would ask for you to um approve to have the money from the um 223 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:33,600 one of Ohio settlement fund for the city of Napoleon to be uh donated to the man 224 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,600 unit for the specific use. 225 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:43,120 Laura, you don't have that information in front of you. Do you specific? 226 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:48,160 » I can add that in two 2024 we received 15,000. 227 00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:54,200 In 2025, we received 11,000. We do have a total of 33,000. 228 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,200 » Okay. 229 00:17:57,679 --> 00:18:06,640 » Any other questions or comments? My question is, how many families or 230 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:11,120 individuals has this program helped? >> That's a great question. We just started 231 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:15,840 tracking our data with a a system called Cordata last October. So, we're still 232 00:18:13,919 --> 00:18:22,080 trying to backfill data from November of 2024, but so far we show that we have 233 00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:26,400 helped 92 individuals. That doesn't say necessarily how many families it has 234 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:30,960 helped. And I wish that I had the number for how many talks we've done, but I've 235 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:34,240 been able to do talks within schools and communities. Judge Pepper Firestone has 236 00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:37,919 approached and wants to do some community education on some of the 237 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:41,760 over-the-counter drugs that we're seeing, things like and how those are 238 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,440 affecting negatively in our communities. So, it's hard to put an exact number on 239 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,760 that, but I can give you more specific if that's something you're interested 240 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:53,559 in. It's something I could certainly send over um just from what we have 241 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,559 compiled so far. 242 00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:00,960 Thank you. >> Like Chief said, we're pretty limited in 243 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:07,039 what it can be used for. However, I would I I say that this is a great um 244 00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:10,320 administration of the funds to put them in the hands of someone who knows 245 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:16,640 exactly what needs are out there and can use them specifically for that. 246 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:24,000 » Remind me, Chief, did we use part of this fund to fund DARE previously? 247 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:29,760 » No. What happens with with DARE and the lead program is we budget for that and 248 00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:34,919 then uh the four county ads board reimburses uses what we spend on that. 249 00:19:31,919 --> 00:19:34,919 » Okay, 250 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,120 » that's great. 251 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,440 » Questions or comments? >> Thank you for what you do. 252 00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:49,400 » Yes, >> really appreciate it. 253 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,400 » Thank you. 254 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:55,840 » All right.

Item M2, discussion or action requesting approval of plans and bid 363 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:55,520 documents for the industrial drive payment pavement replacement project. 364 00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:00,240 » Thank you. I'm going to go ahead and turn this over to Chad Loves to to uh 365 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,799 give you a further explanation on this project. 366 00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:06,559 » Hey Chad, >> evening. 367 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:11,360 Uh we are requesting approval of the plans and bid documents. Uh this is one 368 00:27:09,039 --> 00:27:17,600 of the streets that we were intending to include in our miscellaneous uh 2026 369 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:24,240 miscellaneous streets project. However, because it is a different type of 370 00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:29,840 project than what we normally do, we put it as its own set of plans. As 371 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:34,640 everyone's aware, in the area of Industrial Drive and American Road, all 372 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:39,039 those streets are concrete. A portion of Industrial Drive north of 373 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:47,120 the intersection has never been replaced. It's the portion that is 374 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:54,399 directly west of the truck scales at the old TA truck stop there. Uh for we're 375 00:27:50,960 --> 00:28:00,559 proposing to replace 345 ft. This is the last remaining section of the asphalt 376 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:06,240 pavement that was built when uh that used to be an intersection and 24 went 377 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:11,120 around. It's very thin asphalt pavement. We have ruts in the middle of the road 378 00:28:08,159 --> 00:28:17,600 that are about 6 in deep. Uh so we're proposing to remove 345 ft of asphalt 379 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:21,440 pavement, leave the curb in, uh get that out of there, and then install concrete 380 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:27,200 pavement to match what's in the intersection and what's on American Road 381 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:33,039 and Industrial Drive. Um we have $500,000 in the budget for our 382 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:38,799 miscellaneous streets project. of that uh amount. The engineers estimate for 383 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:44,240 this project is $270,000. That will still leave us money uh to do 384 00:28:41,919 --> 00:28:49,760 our paving project this year. That's why we're also waiting to put that project 385 00:28:46,399 --> 00:28:54,799 out. We will wait and see where the bids come in, what monies we have left in 386 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:58,080 that fund before we put the miscellaneous asphalt paving project 387 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:01,919 out. But tonight, we're just asking for 388 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:05,440 approval of the plans and specifications so we can advertise this project for 389 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:12,200 bids. >> Thanks, Chad. 390 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,200 » All right.

This um 401 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:48,480 Chad Loves can also speak to this. This is the um project that has been put off 402 00:29:46,399 --> 00:29:54,960 and put off because of the expense of it. And I'm so very thankful that he was 403 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:59,520 able to uh reconfigure and um replan and and make it affordable. And so now it 404 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:02,399 will be going forward with your approval. 405 00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:07,440 » Sure. >> Um just to expand a little bit on what 406 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:12,480 the city manager said there. We had designed this project about six or seven 407 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:18,240 years ago. We submitted it in the budget every year. Most of the time, I don't 408 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:22,720 believe that project made it to those sitting in this room. It was cut out by 409 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:27,840 the city managers at that time. The original budget for this project was 410 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:33,039 going to be about $565,000. Uh after the success we had in the Twin 411 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:38,480 Oaks area last year, we decided to take another look at this project and attack 412 00:30:35,919 --> 00:30:44,480 it in a similar fashion where the old concrete streets were removed, the curbs 413 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:49,200 left in place, and asphalt installed. Uh our estimate for the project was 414 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:55,520 $275,000. Uh last week we opened four bids on the 415 00:30:52,320 --> 00:31:02,760 project. The low bid uh on the project was Ward Construction Company out of 416 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:02,760 Lipstick, Ohio. Their bid was 257,720. 417 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:12,840 And we're just asking council to award this project to Ward Construction 418 00:31:07,919 --> 00:31:12,840 Company in the amount of $257,720,000 419 00:31:13,279 --> 00:31:24,159 so we can work on getting North Harmony and the concrete block of Indiana place. 420 00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:24,159 » Thanks, Chef. 421 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:30,559 questions. >> Have we used Ward before? 422 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:35,360 » Yes. Ward is actually the company that did the work in Twin Oaks last year. 423 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:40,559 » Um they've done a few other projects in town, but that's the most recent and I 424 00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:44,720 don't doubt that's why they were a little bit on this. They they kind of 425 00:31:42,799 --> 00:31:48,360 got it down to a science. >> Great. Thank you. 426 00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:52,279 » Any other questions? 427 00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:01,120 If not, can we have a motion to award the bid to award construction company in 428 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:03,760 the amount of $257,720, please? 429 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,919 » Second. >> Thank you. And please call the role. 430 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,039 » Ross, >> yes. 431 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,000 » Dr. Dave, >> yes. 432 00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:09,200 » Tom, >> yes. 433 00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:10,159 » Meredith, >> yes. 434 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,279 » Victor, >> yes. 435 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,320 » Jordan, >> yes. 436 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:16,559 » Britney, >> yes. 437 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:21,360 » All right, that has been approved.

Chad, do you know more about this, too? This kind of just came to my 441 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:39,039 attention yesterday. >> Oh, okay. Chief, I know typically to to 442 00:32:38,559 --> 00:32:43,919 read >> Yeah, I was notified of the uh the 443 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:47,760 permit and uh reviewed any of our records from there. We have no problem 444 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:52,399 That's typically the >> typically the the action that we take. 445 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:55,840 » Yeah. No action from council is a signal of approval 446 00:32:53,679 --> 00:33:00,559 » and they will just go ahead and approve it at the state level if we don't have 447 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:02,320 any objection. If we take no action, they will just go through it. 448 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,760 » Okay. >> What what is what is changing with their 449 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:10,640 permit that they need a new one? >> Just a 450 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:14,320 new that's why guard there. But okay. Yeah. It's just how the paperwork comes 451 00:33:12,399 --> 00:33:18,320 through. We get these every so often. >> Okay. 452 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:23,399 Thanks, Chief. Any questions or comments before we move 453 00:33:20,159 --> 00:33:23,399 on there? 454 00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:30,480 » Hearing none. We'll go around the table, Lori. I'll 455 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:36,640 start with you. >> All right. I uh welcome to Tony. It's 456 00:33:34,159 --> 00:33:42,720 nice to sit by you tonight. Uh and um we had a great trip in DC this 457 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:46,880 past week and uh I think we it was very productive. We've got some good messages 458 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:50,159 across to our legislators and already starting to see some fruits from that. 459 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:56,480 So hopefully we'll have more to talk to you about soon. That's all I have. 460 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:59,600 » Tony, anything to add? >> Thank you, Lori, for that. Very kind. 461 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:04,720 Other than that, I don't have anything. >> All right, Meredith, 462 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:08,639 » I've got nothing. Welcome, Tony. >> Tom, same. 463 00:34:07,679 --> 00:34:15,200 » Dr. Dave, >> good to have you on board, sir. 464 00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:19,919 Same thing. Welcome, Tony. And Lori kind of took what I was going to say about 465 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:26,000 our trip. Um, yeah, I think it was very successful this year. We we got to um 466 00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:32,720 speak to three or four different legislators and um it wasn't just about 467 00:34:29,119 --> 00:34:36,960 the power and um the AMP projects and things like that. We got to talk to them 468 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:42,560 about a few different things that um will definitely affect the city of 469 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:47,200 Napoleon. So, it's a good trip. >> Yeah, I I think we do a great job of 470 00:34:44,399 --> 00:34:52,560 kind of piggybacking on the uh American Public Power Association conference and 471 00:34:49,839 --> 00:34:58,480 um we take designated time to speak to our legislators about Napoleon topics 472 00:34:54,960 --> 00:35:04,079 and um they were all very welcoming and receptive this year. So, that was a a 473 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:08,400 great sign. Um we typically go with three or four topics in hand. Our topics 474 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:13,680 this year were looking for funding for the water line uh under the river. Um 475 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:17,920 help with our railroad crossings in town. We've obviously put a ton of money 476 00:35:15,359 --> 00:35:23,040 to our roads in town and to still have uh speed traps going over railroads is 477 00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:27,760 is difficult. So um looking for some assistance there. And then the the last 478 00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:33,040 topic we talked about was just help with our police facility. Um it's obviously 479 00:35:29,599 --> 00:35:37,359 in need of a ton of help and updating. So looking for funding for those and uh 480 00:35:35,359 --> 00:35:41,839 like Lori said, I think we'll have promising results to share in the coming 481 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:46,440 future. So Britney, 482 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,440 » you're welcome. 483 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:51,240 » Jordan, >> I guess I have to say welcome to Tony. 484 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:57,200 » Pleasure meeting you, Tony. >> Lori, 485 00:35:53,920 --> 00:36:01,760 » welcome Tony.
