BUT I ALSO WANT TO INTRODUCE SARAH HARRISON MILLS AS THE NEW CEO OF SENTARA, AND I WANTED TO GIVE HER MY STAMP OF APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL .

SO YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY, UM, MY STAMP OF APPROVAL.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS TRANSITION FOR PROBABLY ABOUT SEVEN YEARS.

SARAH'S BEEN WITH US ABOUT 14 YEARS.

UM, AND, UM, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON A SUCCESSION PLAN FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

UM, OUR BOARD DID CONDUCT BOTH AN INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SEARCH.

THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD THE RIGHT PERSON IN PLACE AND ENDED UP, UM, OFFERING SARAH THE POSITION.

SHE HAS BEEN IN THE POSITION FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF.

SO THIS, WE'RE A LITTLE LATE ON THIS INTRODUCTION, BUT, UM, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU MET SARAH.

SHE'S A TALENTED PROFESSIONAL.

SHE'S AMAZING, SHE'S REALLY COMMITTED TO THE FIELD AND I'M REALLY PLEASED THAT, UM, SHE WAS NAMED THE CEO AND WE'LL BE CONTINUING TO WORK TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME.

I DO WANNA THANK YOU, UM, ALSO FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.

IT'S AN HONOR TO BE HERE AND TO MEET ALL OF YOU TODAY.

SO WE'VE BEEN INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT OVER THE YEARS.

AS JULIE SAID, I'VE BEEN WITH THE AGENCY FOR 14 YEARS, SO I AM A SOCIAL WORKER BY TRAINING.

UM, I'M FROM MICHIGAN ORIGINALLY, BUT I'VE LIVED IN CENTRAL OHIO FOR THE PAST, LET'S SEE, 14 YEARS.

AND SO I'VE BEEN AT DUBLIN COUNSELING CENTER NOW SENTARA SINCE THAT TIME, SINCE MOVING TO THIS AREA.

SO I HAVE DEDICATED MY CAREER TO NONPROFIT COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH, AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD SENTARA.

[CITIZEN COMMENTS]

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZENS TO COMMENT ON ANY TOPIC THAT IS NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

AS A REMINDER, WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE SIGN IN ON THE KIOSK JUST OUTSIDE THE CHAMBER, AND WE'LL RECOGNIZE YOU TO PROVIDE YOUR COMMENTS AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME.

LINDSAY, DO WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED IN TO SPEAK? NO ONE HAS SIGNED IN SO FAR, BUT WE DID RECEIVE A COMMENT BEFORE THE MEETING, WHICH I CAN READ ON THE RESIDENT'S BEHALF.

GREAT.

THIS IS FROM GORDON TROOP ADDRESS, 95 NORTH RIVERVIEW STREET, UNIT 5 1 4.

DEAR COUNCIL MEMBERS, I WRITE TO VOICE MY STRONG OPPOSITION TO MOST ANY PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ON THE WEST SIDE IN FRONT OF THE BRIDGE PARK WEST CONDOS.

WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR CONDO IN BRIDGE PARK WEST, THE DUBLIN MASTER PLAN ONLY CONTEMPLATED NATURAL TRAILS, ET CETERA, WITH ANY COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES DESIGNATED TO THE EAST SIDE, I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IF YOU WERE GOING TO DESTROY

[00:05:01]

I AM FURTHER AMAZED.

IN ADDITION TO ALL THE OTHER FEEDBACK, I KNOW YOU HAVE HEARD AS TO WHY YOU AND THE PARKS DEPARTMENT WOULD WANT TO BUILD CLIMBING WALLS, HIGH ROPES COURSES, KAYAK LAUNCHES, PARKING LOTS, ROADS, RESTROOMS, ET CETERA, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE EQUIVALENT OF 50 HOMES WHEN YOU COULD GO A QUARTER MILE IN EITHER DIRECTION AND NOT DISRUPT ANY RESIDENCES OR MAYBE ONE WHILE OFFERING THE SAME AMENITIES.

I ALSO KNOW YOU HAVE RECEIVED FEEDBACK VIA THE RECENT EASEL AND STICKER PROCESS WITH MATT ERMAN THAT 90% OF THOSE VOTING WITH THE STICKERS DON'T WANT IT EITHER.

SO PLEASE STAY TRUE TO YOUR COMMITMENTS AND DON'T RUIN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR HOMES WHEN YOU HAVE OTHER VERY LOGICAL ALTERNATIVES WITH EXISTING ACCESS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, LINDSAY.

APPRECIATE IT.

AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT

[CONSENT AGENDA]

IS THERE A REQUEST TO MOVE THIS ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA FROM COUNSEL? ALL RIGHT, THEN I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

CAN I GET A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

GOOD EVENING, MATT.

I JUST HAD A QUESTION.

SO, UM, UNDER SECTION TWO WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT THE NEED TO INCREASE PREMIUMS FOR INSURANCE AND YOU, AND IT SAYS WE WON'T KNOW WHAT THE PREMIUMS ARE, COULD YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT HOW THE POOLING WORKS? SO WE POOL OUR INSURANCE WITH OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY.

I WILL PROVIDE AS MUCH OF AN ANSWER AS I CAN AND I'LL HAVE RON WHITTINGTON FOLLOW UP BECAUSE HE'S REALLY THE EXPERT IN THIS.

BUT WE DO POOL OUR INSURANCE AS A MEMBER OF CORMA AND WE ARE PARTICIPATING IN THAT.

THE ISSUE IS OUR CURRENT PROVIDER IS EXITING THAT MARKET AS MANY COMPANIES ARE EXITING THE INSURANCE MARKET.

AND WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO FIND AS COMPETITIVE A RATE THE NEXT TIME, THIS TIME AS WE, AS WE RENEW OUR PREMIUMS. SO THE POOLING IS WITH CENTRAL OHIO OR I'LL, I'LL GET YOU THE EXACT MEMBERSHIP AND I BELIEVE THEY'RE ALL CENTRAL OHIO COMMUNITIES.

OKAY.

VERY GOOD.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? ALRIGHT, THEN WE WILL SEE BACK AT THE SECOND READING ON SEPTEMBER 16TH.

WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

TAYLOR.

DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS LEGISLATION TONIGHT? EITHER ONLINE OR IN HOUSE? NO COUNCIL QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.

SO REGARDING THE MUNE AVENUE, THE EAST END, DID ENGINEERING CONFIRM LIKE THAT ANGLE THAT IT IT'S HITTING THE STREET WORKS WITH OUR NEW REALIGNMENT OF TELLER ROAD? 'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA STRAIGHTEN THAT OUT AND I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO RIP ALL THAT UP AND PURCHASE RIGHT OF WAY BECAUSE OF THE ANGLE.

IS THAT ALL CONCERN? YES, I BELIEVE IT IS ACCOUNTING THE REALIGNMENT.

OKAY, GO AHEAD PLEASE, KATHY.

UH, I HAD THAT SAME QUESTION AND FOLLOWING, UM, I KNOW THERE'S GONNA BE CONSTRUCTION OF A GREENWAY DOWN TALLER.

SO SAME QUESTION RELATES TO THAT.

UM, DOES THIS, DOES THIS PLAT RECOGNIZE THAT WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO BUILD THAT SHARED GREENWAY? UM, THERE IS A GREENWAY ALONG JOHN SHIELDS PARKWAY.

UM, THIS PLAT DOES NOT CONTEMPLATE A GREENWAY ALONG TELLER.

HUH? I THOUGHT WE HAD A GREENWAY DOWN TELLER.

WE DON'T HAVE ONE.

WE'RE WE'RE, I'M GETTING AHEAD.

I'VE GOT MY ROADS WRONG.

I THINK IT WAS GONNA COME DOWN JOHN SHIELDS AND THEN EMERALD LIKE THE, IT'S GONNA GO ACROSS THE NEW BRIDGE.

OKAY.

SO ACTUALLY THAT ALONG TELLER ROAD, THERE'S JUST GONNA BE, UH, WHATEVER WE HAVE NOW, THE SIDEWALK, ET CETERA.

WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE A PATH DOWN THERE.

IS THAT CORRECT? Y YEAH.

SO THE, UM, THE GREENWAY IS NOT SHOWN ON THE PLAT AS THAT THE GREENWAY IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF JOHN SHIELDS PARKWAY.

OKAY.

THIS IS NORTH OF JOHN SHIELDS PARKWAY.

GREAT.

OKAY.

THANK YOU ALL.

AND WE ARE ONTO STAFF

[STAFF COMMENTS]

GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

I APOLOGIZE FOR SLOWING THINGS DOWN A TEENY BIT.

I DO HAVE SEVERAL UPDATES THOUGH.

THEY'RE ALL GOOD UPDATES.

UM, AND TIMELY.

UM, AS DISCUSSED AT THE AUGUST 12TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING, THE CITY WILL BE HOSTING A PUBLIC MEETING FOR THE EMERALD CONNECTOR PROJECT ON SEPTEMBER 12TH.

THE ALTERNATIVES THAT WERE CONSIDERED IN THE AESTHETICS CONCEPTS WILL BE SHARED IN PUBLIC INPUT, WILL BE GATHERED TO ADVANCE THAT PROJECT FOR FEDERAL FUNDING.

CONSIDERATION IN THIS PUBLIC MEETING IS IN ADVANCE OF, UM, RECEIVING OR IN FURTHERANCE OF RECEIVING THE FEDERAL FUNDS IN THE FUTURE.

THE MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE AT COUNCIL CHAMBER FROM FIVE TO SEVEN IN AN OPEN HOUSE FORMAT, AND THE COMMENT PERIOD WILL REMAIN OPEN FOR 30 DAYS.

FOLLOWING THE MEETING.

WE INVITE THE PUBLIC TO JOIN US FOR CONNECT TO DUBLIN, A FIBER SPLICING AND STEM INNOVATION DAY AT KAUFMAN PAVILION ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH FROM ONE TO 3:00 PM THIS FREE EVENT IS CO-SPONSORED BY THE CITY OF DUBLIN AND ULTA FIBER.

AND IT WILL INCLUDE HANDS-ON STEM ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING DRONE DEMOS, ESPORTS CODING ACTIVITIES, AND FIBER SPLICING DEMONSTRATIONS.

THERE WILL ALSO BE, OF COURSE, A DJ, A FOAM CANNON AND FREE KONA ICE FOR ATTENDEES.

THIS EVENT SERVES AS AN OFFICIAL KICKOFF TO OUR FIBER TO EVERY HOME INITIATIVE WITH THE FIRST CUSTOMERS HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT TO THE NEW MULTI-GIG FIBER NETWORK AFTER SEPTEMBER 13TH.

SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

ADDITIONALLY, WE CONTINUE TO PARTNER WITH ULTA FIBER UTILITY COMPANIES AND CONTRACTORS TO EVOLVE AND IMPROVE OUR COMMUNICATIONS.

REGARDING THE ONGOING FIBER INSTALLATION, WE'VE ADDED A LETTER FROM THE CITY, ADDITIONAL YARD SIGNS, AND WE'VE UPDATED TIMELINES TO OUR COMMUNICATIONS PLAN TO KEEP RESIDENTS INFORMED AS WE MOVE INTO THE MUIRFIELD NEIGHBORHOOD.

NEXT, A FULL UPDATE ON THE FIBER TO EVERY HOME PROJECT WILL BE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL AT YOUR NET NEXT MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 16TH.

SO YOU'LL GET A COMPLETE UPDATE UM, ON ALL OF OUR EFFORTS THERE.

DUBLIN PARTICIPATED IN A GRANT APPLICATION WITH MOR PS E AND MANY OTHERS IN THE REGION FOR EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND THAT EFFORT WAS AWARDED $15 MILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDS TO INSTALL 406 EV PORTS ACROSS 62 SITES IN CENTRAL OHIO.

THREE OF THE 62 SITES WERE SPONSORED BY THE CITY OF DUBLIN AND INCLUDED IN THE APPLICATION, AND THAT WILL PROVIDE 12 ADDITIONAL CHARGERS AT DUBLIN OWNED LOCATIONS.

AND THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL SIX CHARGERS THAT WERE SPONSORED BY OHIO HEALTH AND INCLUDED IN THE APPLICATION.

SO THOSE WILL ALSO BE LOCATED IN DUBLIN.

AS A RESULT, 18 NEW CHARGERS ARE INCLUDED IN THE GRANT OPPORTUNITY IN DUBLIN.

MORSE'S WAITING TO HEAR THE NEXT STEPS ON THAT PROCESS FROM THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION TO ADVANCE THE INSTALLATION OF CHARGERS.

AND IT WAS MENTIONED, UM, BY MORSEY RECENTLY THAT THIS IS THEIR LARGEST GRANT AWARD EVER.

SO THAT'S EXCITING.

UM, THE CITY OF DUBLIN SPONSORED LOCATIONS ARE AT THE DCRC, THE DUBLIN DALE DRIVE, PARK AND RIDE, AND DARI FIELDS.

I ALSO WANTED TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE RIVER FOREST STORM AND ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS.

CONSTRUCTION BEGAN EARLIER THIS YEAR AND IS NEARING COMPLETION.

THE CONTRACTOR'S TRENDING TOWARDS AN EARLY COMPLETION OF A CONTRACT WORK BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

WE HAD INITIALLY INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACT A COMPLETION DATE OF OCTOBER, SO THEY'RE A LITTLE EARLY.

THE MAJORITY OF THE CONTRACTUAL WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED, WHICH INCLUDES THE ROADWAY PAVING, THE STORM WATER DRAINAGE, REESTABLISHMENT ROADWAY, STORM CULVERT REPLACEMENT, AND REPLACEMENT OF A SECTION OF WATERWAY OR WATER MAIN.

SOME ITEMS REMAINING.

THEY STILL HAVE SOME GRADING AND SEEDING.

THEY STILL NEED TO ADJUST SOME ROADWAY, ROADWAY STRUCTURES TO GRADE AND THEY HAVE SOME PLANTINGS AND TREE INSTALLATION WORK.

WORK REMAINING.

ADDITIONAL

[00:25:01]

NOW THAT THE TEMPERATURES ARE MORE TEMPERATE, A FEW RESIDENTS HAVE REACHED OUT, EXCUSE ME.

A FEW RESIDENTS HAVE REACHED OUT CONCERNED THAT THE WORK IS COMPLETE.

SO I WANTED TO PROVIDE THIS UPDATE AND SHARE THAT THE CONTRACTOR DOES STILL HAVE, UM, FINAL WORK TO WRAP UP.

UM, THE PROJECT SPEED MANAGEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION WANTED TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THOSE EFFORTS.

THE FIRST PILOT LOCATION OF TACTICAL URBANISM WAS INSTALLED IN AUGUST AT AVERY AND CHIANA ROADS.

FEATURES AT THAT LOCATION INCLUDE WHITE EDGE LINES OUTLINING SOLID COLOR BLOCKS AND SLOTH ICONS AT THE ENTRY AND EXITS TO THE CROSSWALKS WITH THE SLOWDOWN DUBLIN ICON NEAR THE INTERSECTION.

ADDITIONALLY, SPEED WARNING CAMERAS ARE EXPECTED TO GO LIVE ON SEPTEMBER 16TH.

AND THESE SPEED SAFETY CAMERAS WILL USE LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION OR LPR TO IDENTIFY AND SEND WARNING LETTERS TO EDUCATE DRIVERS ABOUT TRAVEL SPEEDS.

THE CAMERAS ARE CURRENTLY PLACED AT TARA HILL NEAR RAYMOND DRIVE MEMORIAL DRIVE NEAR KIRKWALL WALL STREET NEAR CARSON AND TULLY MOORE DRIVE NEAR NEW GRANGE.

SO AGAIN, UM, THOSE CAMERAS WILL GO INTO EFFECT ON SEPTEMBER 16TH AND LETTERS, WARNING LETTERS WILL START TO BE ISSUED FROM THOSE CAMERAS.

STAFF AND OUR LEGAL TEAM CONTINUE TO NEGOTIATE THE CONTRACT WITH THE ARTIST FOR THE MEREFIELD ART AND PUBLIC PLACES PROJECT.

A MEETING WAS HELD LAST WEEK WITH THE ARTIST TO WORK THROUGH THE FINAL TERMS DIRECTLY AND HOPEFULLY REACH AN AGREEMENT.

ONCE WE AGREE ON A CONTRACT, I WILL PRESENT A RESOLUTION TO COUNSEL, UM, REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE THAT AGREEMENT.

AND THE AGREEMENT WILL THEN BE EXECUTED AND THE AUTHOR OR THE ARTIST WILL BE AUTHORIZED TO PROCEED WITH THE WORK.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE MUIRFIELD ASSOCIATION, THE DUBLIN ARTS COUNCIL, AND THE ARTIST TO IMPLEMENT A COMMUNICATIONS PLAN.

AND THAT COMMUNICATIONS PLAN WILL THEN START TALKING ABOUT THE SCHEDULE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THAT ARTWORK.

UM, WE'LL ALSO CONTINUE OUR WORK TO DELIVER THE PROJECT THAT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE OFCC STATE GRANT REQUIREMENTS.

SO WE'RE BEING CAREFUL TO COMPLY WITH ALL THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

AND WE'RE ALSO, UM, CONTINUING TO WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING PARTNERS WITH THE MUIRFIELD ASSOCIATION AND THE DUBLIN ARTS COUNCIL.

SO I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF EXCITEMENT TO SEE THAT INSTALLATION, UM, COME TO FRUITION, BUT WE STILL HAVE SOME WORK TO DO WITH GETTING THAT CONTRACT IN PLACE.

NEXT TOPIC I WANTED TO RAISE IS DEAR MANAGEMENT.

UM, SINCE ADOPTING ORDINANCE 47 23, PROHIBITING THE FEEDING OF WILD ANIMALS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY STAFF HAS RESPONDED TO 15 REPORTS OF VIOLATIONS THAT HAVE COME IN THIS SUMMER.

STAFF CONTINUE TO ENGAGE IN REGULAR DIALOGUE WITH ODNR AND OTHER CENTRAL OHIO CITIES.

WE HAD ODNR REPS COME IN A COUPLE WEEKS AGO TO TALK THROUGH WHAT WE'RE SEEING AND WE'VE ALSO REMAINED, UM, VERY CLOSE CONTACT WITH WORTHINGTON AS THEY HAVE A TASK FORCE.

LOOKING AT THE ISSUE IN WORTHINGTON, UM, STAFF MEMBERS ATTENDED TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS RECENTLY IN WORTHINGTON TO KEEP APPRAISED OF THE STATUS OF THEIR WORK AS THEY'RE ALSO COORDINATING WITH ODNR.

AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THINGS FROM A REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE.

UPON THE APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 47 23 COUNCIL REQUESTED A FOLLOW-UP WORK SESSION BE HELD THIS YEAR TO CHECK IN ON THE STATUS AND REVIEW OTHER POTENTIAL MANAGEMENT OPTIONS.

SO WE'RE HAPPY TO COORDINATE WITH ODNR TO FIND A DATE THAT THEY MIGHT BE AVAILABLE TO PRESENT TO COUNCIL AND DISCUSS THE TOPIC FURTHER IF COUNCIL, UM, WOULD LIKE FOR US TO DO SO.

I'M SEEING SOME HEADS NODDING.

COUNCIL.

I, I, I WOULD LIKE TO AS WELL.

OKAY.

YEAH, WE WILL.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET THAT SCHEDULE.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT WE WOULD DO.

THE COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING TEAM RECEIVED NATIONAL RECOGNITION LAST WEEK AT THE CITY COUNTY COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONFERENCE.

DUBLIN TOOK HOME THE TOP PRIZE OR THE SAVVY AWARD FOR THE CITY'S LINK AHEAD PODCAST AND A SILVER SILVER CIRCLE FOR THE SLOWDOWN DUBLIN CAMPAIGN.

WHILE AT THE CONFERENCE, LINDSEY WEISEN NOWER ATTENDED VARIOUS SESSIONS AND MODERATED A PANEL ON ENGAGING WITH UNDERREPRESENTED POPULATIONS.

SO CONGRATULATIONS AND GREAT WORK TO OUR COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING TEAM.

THAT'S PRETTY BIG TO GET FIRST PLACE IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY AND SECOND PLACE ON ANOTHER INITIATIVE IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.

SO, WOO HOO.

THANK YOU.

CONGRATS.

CONGRATULATIONS.

WELL DONE .

I THINK IT MIGHT'VE MADE HER BLUSH.

YEAH, .

I THINK SO TOO.

I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE.

.

CONGRATS.

UM, THEN I JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE A QUICK UPDATE ON SPORTS OHIO, UM, ACQUISITION.

WE HAVE RECEIVED THE BOND FINANCING.

WE'VE NOT YET RECEIVED THE SETTLEMENT SHEET.

ALL FINANCIAL PROCESSES HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND THE ONLY REMAINING OUTSTANDING FINANCIAL RELATED TASK IS TO TRANSITION THE CREDIT CARD PROCESSORS FROM SPORTS OHIO TO THE CITY.

SO IT'S GREAT TO HAVE ALL THE FINANCIAL TASKS COMPLETE.

[00:30:01]

SO THAT'S REMAINS ONGOING.

UM, AND WE ARE TRACKING TO CLOSE ON THE LAND LATER THIS MONTH.

WE ALSO HAVE THE FIRST STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING SCHEDULED FOR NEXT TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17TH.

SO WE'RE EXCITED TO BEGIN OUR WORK WITH THE STEERING COMMITTEE.

AND THEN FINALLY, I ATTENDED THE CENTRAL OHIO MAYORS AND MANAGERS ASSOCIATION MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 6TH.

THEN WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THE NEW CEO OF RAPID FIVE LUKE MESSENGER.

AND IT WAS GREAT TO HEAR HIS VISION AND HIS PLANS FOR THE RAPID FIVE INITIATIVE.

AND THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR THIS EVENING.

THANK YOU.

I'M SORRY.

I'M REALLY SORRY.

BUT I DO HAVE ONE MORE THING.

SO THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE DID MEET ON THE FOURTH OF THIS MONTH AND THE COMMITTEE RECEIVED THE ANNUAL HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFIT PLAN UPDATE.

UM, THIS IS DONE YEARLY AS WE APPROACH THE OPERATING BUDGET TIME.

AND SO COUNSEL WILL GET AN UPDATE, UH, ABBREVIATED UPDATE OF THAT DURING, UM, BUDGET DISCUSSIONS.

UM, THE COMMITTEE, UM, HAD CONSENSUS AND AGREEMENT WITH STAFF ON A COUPLE RECOMMENDATIONS.

THE FIRST OF THOSE IS TO CONTINUE OFFERING PREMIUM FREE BENEFITS, UM, AND SECOND TO CONTINUE TO EVALUATE COST SAVING OPPORTUNITIES.

SO, UM, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TEAM.

A AS YOU'LL SEE DURING OPERATING, THEY'VE, THEY'VE DONE SOME REALLY GOOD WORK TO KEEP WHAT IS AN EVER RISING, UM, SET OF COSTS, UM, UNDER, UNDER I GUESS CONTROL.

UM, SO, UH, CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS TO THEM AND YOU'LL GET AN UPDATE ON THAT.

AND THEN, UM, STAFF PROVIDED A REVIEW OF THE DETAILED BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS RECRUITMENT PROCESS AND PLANS FOR ONBOARDING.

WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD TIME, TAKE A MOMENT TO LOOK AT THE ACTIVITIES OVER THE YEAR AND WHAT WE COULD DO TO IMPROVE.

THANK YOU KATHY.

AND NOW WE WILL DO

[COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE]

WE'LL START DOWN HERE.

I ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE ANY UPDATES TONIGHT.

WOW.

AWESOME.

JANE, I HATE TO, I HATE TO BLOCK THE STREAM OF SPEED WE'VE GOT GOING HERE.

I MAY TACKLE YOU IF YOU GO TOO FAR.

SO I'M JUST TEASING VERY QUICKLY.

UM, I DID ATTEND THE AUGUST 29TH RIVERSIDE CROSSING PARK PUBLIC MEETING AND I WANNA THANK ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT CAME OUT FOR THAT.

WE GOT A LOT OF GREAT INPUT AND I KNOW THAT IT'LL BE A GREAT CONVERSATION WE HAVE HERE AT THE DIOCESE.

SO I APPRECIATE THEM COMING OUT.

DID ATTEND THIS MORNING THE MIDWEST US JAPAN ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE DOWN AT THE HILTON.

IT WAS QUITE INTERESTING, UM, ATTENDING THE PRESENTATIONS WERE GIVEN BY VARIOUS GOVERNORS OF NUMEROUS PREFECTURES OF JAPAN, WHICH, UM, SHOWED THE BEAUTY OF JAPAN, THE LANDSCAPE, THE WORK THAT THEY DO THERE, I THINK IN A WAY THAT MAYBE I'VE NEVER REALLY SEEN BEFORE.

UH, THE JAPANESE AMBASSADOR, AMBASSADOR YAMADA AND COUNCIL GENERAL SHINDO WERE BOTH THERE AS WELL AS THE GOVERNORS FROM MICHIGAN, INDIANA, WISCONSIN, AND GOVERNOR WINE FROM OHIO.

IT'S REALLY APPARENT TO ME THAT THE ONGOING RELATIONSHIPS THAT, UM, HAVE BEEN BUILT BETWEEN OUR JAPANESE BUSINESSES AND OUR GOVERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE THAT WE WORK WITH AS WELL, ARE NOT ONLY REALLY VALUABLE ECONOMICALLY, BUT CULTURALLY AND FRIENDSHIP WISE, IT'S REALLY BECOME, IT WAS ALMOST, UM, IT WAS LIKE AN OLD HOME WEEK.

I MEAN, EVEN ONE OF THE JAPANESE, UM, GOVERNORS SANG PURPLE RAIN TODAY.

AND IT, IT MADE YOU REALIZE THAT THE 40 YEARS OF BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES HAS COME TO BRING ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP THAT'S RESPECTFUL, THAT'S FRIENDLY, THAT HAS REALLY CREATED OPTIMISM ABOUT THE FUTURE OF WORK WITH THE JAPANESE HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, BUT ESPECIALLY IN CENTRAL OHIO.

SO I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THAT AND ALSO TO THANK THE JAPANESE COMMUNITY HERE IN DUBLIN FOR THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT

[00:35:01]

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU JANE, JOHN.

OH, DITTO TO EVERYTHING YOU SAID.

IT WAS FUN GOING BACK AND SEEING ALL THE JAPANESE PEOPLE WE MET IN JAPAN AND, UH, THE RESPECT WE HAVE FOR THE 21 COMPANIES THAT SERVE US THAT ARE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THEY HAVE, THEY ACTUALLY EMPLOY 68,000 OHIOANS, OHIO.

SO, UH, IT IS GOOD TO KEEP THESE RELATIONSHIPS TOGETHER AND IT WAS JUST WONDERFUL TO SEE EVERYBODY AGAIN.

YEAH.

GREAT.

THANK YOU JOHN.

MEGAN, DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT YOU WANNA MAKE? YEAH, IF I COULD JUST ADD A, A LITTLE BIT.

OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM IS PARTICIPATING IN THE ENTIRE CONFERENCE AND IT REALLY IS A GREAT CONFERENCE.

VERY VALUABLE.

WE SAW MANY OF THE SAME FOLKS THAT WE NETWORKED WITH LAST YEAR IN JAPAN.

AND I JUST WANNA GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO BOTH JEREMIAH AND LINDSAY AGAIN FOR THEIR WORK ON OUR SPONSORSHIP, THE CITY OF DUBLIN LOGO.

IT CAN BE SEEN ALL OVER THE CONFERENCE FROM THE LANYARDS, IT'S CITY OF DUBLIN AND JOBS OHIO TO, WE SPONSORED THE LUNCH AND WE HAVE A BOOTH ALONG WITH MARYSVILLE AND THE BETA DISTRICT.

SO WE'RE VERY WELL REPRESENTED AND VERY PROMINENT AT THAT CONFERENCE.

YEAH, THANK YOU MEGAN, FOR THE EXTRA CONTEXT.

REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

AND I'M GONNA JUMP ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ANDY.

SO I'M HAPPY TO SHARE A RECENT REPORT THAT THE TEEN VAPING RATE FELL TO UNDER 6% THIS PAST YEAR DOWN FROM 7.9.

AND I'M A NUMBERS GUY.

THAT'S A 24% DECREASE.

SO THE THINGS THAT WE DO THAT WE THINK MAYBE WON'T HAVE SUCH A HUGE EFFECT IF ALL OF US KEEP STICKING WITH IT, WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

I I STILL BELIEVE EVEN 6% IS TOO HIGH.

THAT'S, UH, 1.6 MILLION STUDENTS REPORTING CONTINUING.

YEAH, THANK YOU.

THAT, THAT'S A HUGE NUMBER.

AND UM, I THINK IT ALSO BRINGS TO MIND, UM, THAT WE HAVE TO ALWAYS BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THE NEXT THING THAT'S COMING, WHICH IS THOSE POWDERS THAT THEY NOW HAVE THESE NICOTINE POWDERS.

UM, SO THAT'S JUST, YEAH.

SOMETHING TO KEEP.

YES.

YEAH, I KNOW ALL OF OUR FACES ARE LIKE SERIOUSLY, THEY DO, THEY'RE, THEY'RE POWDERS.

THE FOR AND THEY'RE REALLY MARKETING THEM TOWARDS YOUNGER FOLKS.

SO JUST SOMETHING FOR US TO KEEP IN OUR, IN MIND AS WE, YOU KNOW, MARCH THAT EFFORT FORWARD.

'CAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT.

SO I'M GONNA SKIP YOU FOR JUST A SECOND, ALL DUE RESPECT.

UM, I WILL COME BACK TO YOU.

OKAY.

IT'S BEEN A YOU SHOW ALL NIGHT.

SO IT HAS, IT HAS, IT HAS.

UM, I WANTED TO THANK OUR FRIENDS, UM, AT NEW ALBANY.

UM, PARTICULARLY JENNIFER CHRYSLER.

THEY GAVE US A TOUR OF THE INTEL SITE AND REALLY TALK US THROUGH SOME OF THE VERY CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE, UM, PROCESSES THAT THEY HAD TO CREATE TO REALLY LAND THAT PROJECT.

IT IS A HUGE REGIONAL PROJECT AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE, UM, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE ABILITY TO TALK WITH THE FOLKS WHO REALLY PUT THAT PROJECT TOGETHER.

SO, UM, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE COMPETITION, UM, IT'S, IT'S A FRIENDLY COMPETITION AND SO WE REALLY APPRECIATE, UM, THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT.

UM, AND UM, WE, SOME OF US HAD A CHANCE TO DO THE FALL OF, UM, THE, A TOUR OF THE FALLBACK STUDIOS, WHICH WAS REALLY FASCINATING.

IT'S GOING TO BE THE ONLY STUDIO OF ITS TYPE IN THE MIDWEST AND IN THIS AREA OF THE COUNTRY REALLY.

SO IT WAS REALLY FASCINATING TO HEAR SOME OF THEIR LIKE MINI ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IDEAS THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO CREATE TO, TO CREATE AN ENGINE FOR THEMSELVES.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATED THAT.

AND WITH THAT, I WILL NOW MOVE ON TO KATHY DEROSA, WHO HAS YET ANOTHER VERY SPECIAL THING TO ANNOUNCE.

AND BEFORE I DO THAT, UM, JUST A COUPLE THINGS.

UH, LINDSAY, CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM THAT, THAT, THAT ROCKS.

UM, THE, THE PODCAST IS GREAT.

UM, AND THANKS TO THE UM, SLOW DOWN DUBLIN TEAM, I KNOW THAT PROJECT HAS BEEN PROBABLY GOING ON FOREVER, HUH.

UM, AND IT'LL GO ON FOREVER, BUT, UM, I'M REALLY SEEING SOME IMPACT AND CHIEF I'M SEEING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GIVEN WARNINGS OR TICKETS FOR SPEEDING HAS INCREASED AND THERE'S JUST BEEN A LOT OF WORK DONE.

I PEDAL BY THE NEW INSTALLATION DOWN AVERY, I WAS THERE PEDALING BY THIS MORNING EARLY AND IT'S WORKING.

I SEE IT, I SEE PEOPLE SEE THE SIGN, I SEE 'EM SLOW DOWN.

I ONLY HAD ONE QUESTION.

THERE'S PLANTERS.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S REFLECTORS ON THOSE OR AT NIGHT.

THERE ARE, I'M GETTING A HEAD NOD 'CAUSE I'M THINKING THAT'S SOMETHING PEOPLE DON'T EXPECT.

UM, AND IT REALLY, IT REALLY DOES SEEM TO BE WORKING SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE OTHER ONE ON BRAND 'CAUSE THAT'S GONNA BE, UM, IMPORTANT AS WELL.

UM, BUT MOST IMPORTANT TO, UM, TODAY WAS A SPECIAL DAY, BUT TOMORROW IS A REALLY SPECIAL DAY BECAUSE IT'S SEPTEMBER 10TH.

YEP.

AND NOT ONLY IS IT SEPTEMBER 10TH, IT IS JENNY DELGADO'S BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

AND WE NEVER GET AT THIS, AN OPPORTUNITY TO THANK JENNY, UM, AND WISH HER A HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINCE WE ALL 29 AGAIN, 29 AGAIN .

SO HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNY .

WE, WE DON'T OFTEN GET TO DO THIS IN, IN A COUNCIL MEETING.

SO KATHY, UH, FELT THAT IT WAS REALLY CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE DO SO, UH, BECAUSE
