UH, ORDINANCES FOR ADDITIONAL READING, PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE ZERO SIX DASH 25 REZONING OF NINE PARCELS FROM OUR RURAL DISTRICT TO ID TWO RESEARCH FLEX, FLEX DISTRICT, AND ID THREE RESEARCH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OUR STAFF REPORT WILL BE BROUGHT FORWARD. 
          OH, NOT BY JENNY RO . 
          WHY ZACH COUNT. 
          Y'ALL WELCOME, ZACH. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          AND GOOD EVENING. 
          UM, AS DISCUSSED, THIS IS A SECOND READING FOR THE REZONING OF NINE PARCELS, APPROXIMATELY 370 ACRES IN SIZE. 
          UH, TWO OF THESE PARCELS, WHICH ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN ON THE SCREEN. 
          UH, THOSE ARE OWNED BY THE CITY OF DUBLIN. 
          UM, AND IT'S ABOUT 65 ACRES AT THE INTERSECTION OF SHIRE RINGS ROAD AND COSWAY ROAD. 
          THE REMAINING SITES ARE BRA PRIVATELY OWNED, UH, AND WITHIN CITY OF DUBLIN LIMITS. 
          UH, AND AGAIN, THERE ARE NO DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS THAT ARE BEING SUBMITTED WITH THESE PARCELS AT THE TIME WITH THIS REZONING APPLICATION. 
          SO THIS IS JUST FOR THE REZONING PIECE, UH, OF THIS, THIS PROCESS. 
          SO SINCE, UH, THIS APPLICATION CAME BEFORE CITY COUNCIL ON APRIL 7TH, UM, I WANTED TO FILL YOU IN ON JUST SOME OF THE HISTORY AND, AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT THAT WE'VE, UH, ENGAGED IN, BUT ALSO, UH, TALK ABOUT SOME UPDATES THAT WE ARE PLANNING BOTH, UH, THAT WE'VE DONE AND THAT WE PLAN ON DOING MOVING FORWARD AS WELL. 
          SO MOST OF THIS IS JUST AN UPDATE TO YOU ALL. 
          UH, AND THEN I'LL BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT THE MATERIALS THAT HAD BEEN SHARED AT PREVIOUS MEETINGS, BUT ALSO WITH THE PUBLIC, UM, IN THESE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT FORUMS. SO AT THE APRIL 7TH, UH, 2025, CITY COUNCIL MEETING, CITY COUNCIL DID TABLE THIS ORDINANCE, UH, FOLLOWING CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS FROM RESIDENTS REGARDING THE REZONING. 
          UH, MANY RESIDENTS DID SHARE THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT THE PERMITTED USES, INCLUDING DATA CENTERS AND THEIR POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND PHYSICAL IMPACTS ON THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS, THE IMPACT OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENT ON THE THOROUGHFARE SYSTEM, UH, THE HEIGHT OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENT ADJACENT TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS, NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON PROPERTY VALUE, AND THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF RESIDENTS ADJACENT TO INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. 
          UH, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS DID DIRECT CITY STAFF TO MEET WITH RESIDENTS TO PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMMUNITY PLAN UPDATE AND THE REZONING PROCESS, AND GAIN ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK FROM THE RESIDENTS REGARDING THIS APPLICATION. 
          UH, SINCE THEN, STAFF DID SCHEDULE AND HELD A MEETING ON MAY 8TH HERE AT THIS BUILDING. 
          UH, IT WAS A PUBLIC NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING THAT WAS ADVERTISED FOR ALL RESIDENTS TO BE ABLE TO COME OUT, UM, SIT DOWN AND ENGAGE IN A CONVERSATION WITH CITY STAFF. 
          UM, STAFF DID ENGAGE IN A, UH, PRESENTATION THAT EXPLAINED THE ENVISION DOUBLING PROCESS. 
          IT EXPLAINED THIS REZONING AND WHAT DEVELOPMENT, UH, PROCESSES WOULD LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE, SHOULD THE ZONING BE PUT IN PLACE. 
          UM, BUT THERE WAS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS, UH, TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS, CONCERNS, AND ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT IS BEING SHOWN HERE AND, AND, AND JUST ABOUT THE AREA IN GENERAL. 
          UM, AND A LOT OF THOSE CONCERNS WERE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WERE HEARD AT THE APRIL 7TH MEETING, UH, SUR ABOUT SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS, NOISE, LIGHT POLLUTION, AND TRAFFIC FROM PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS. 
          UM, AND THEN RESIDENTS ALSO DID EXPRESS THEIR DISSATISFACTION ABOUT PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION REGARDING THE ZONING CHANGES BETWEEN MAY AND JUNE. 
          THERE WERE ADDITIONAL MEETINGS, UH, THAT THE CITY STAFF HELD WITH MEMBERS OF THE BALANCE TRAY, HOA, BUT ALSO INDIVIDUAL MA UH, MEETINGS WITH NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS, UH, JUST TO DISCUSS FURTHER MORE ABOUT THE PROCESS, UM, WHAT HAS BEEN SHARED IN THE PAST, BUT ALSO UNDERSTAND MAYBE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS AND WHAT ARE SOME THOUGHTS THAT THEY HAD, UH, THAT WE COULD CONSIDER AS THIS MOVES FORWARD. 
          UM, BUT AS PART OF THIS AS WELL, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TOOK AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH CURRENT PROPERTY OWNERS AND REPRESENTATIVES OF THESE W REZONING, UH, OF THE W REZONING APPLICATION, TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF THE ORDINANCE, UH, SHARE RESIDENTS CONCERNS AND ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEXT STEPS FOR THIS PROCESS. 
          UH, SO THE OWNERS AND REPRESENTATIVES DID EXPRESS CONCERNS ABOUT HOW POTENTIAL CHANGES TO 
          [00:10:01]
THE CODE COULD IMPACT THE FUTURE DEVELOPABILITY OF THESE PROPERTIES, AND EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO RETAIN FLEXIBILITY WITH THE PERMITTED USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. 
          UH, ON JUNE 11TH, STAFF ALSO HELD A MEETING SPECIFICALLY WITH WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS, UM, AGAIN, TO SHARE THE PROCESS, BUT MOSTLY TO HEAR FROM THE RESIDENTS ABOUT, UM, ANY MORE CONCERNS, UH, QUESTIONS THAT THEY HAD. 
          SO AT THE TIME, THE RESIDENTS DID HAVE A, UH, PRESENTATION THAT THEY SHARED WITH US THAT WAS PROVIDED IN YOUR PACKET, AS WELL AS ALL THE PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED SINCE PLANNING COMMISSION BACK IN FEBRUARY. 
          UM, AGAIN, SIMILAR CONCERNS THAT WERE PROVIDED, UH, THROUGHOUT ALL THESE, THESE MEETINGS. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THE BALANCE TRAY, UH, THE BCA BOARD THERE TO SCHEDULE A FOLLOW-UP MEETING BETWEEN STAFF AND REPRESENTATIVES OF THAT BOARD JUST TO CONTINUE THIS DIALOGUE FOLLOWING THIS MEETING. 
          SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS CURRENTLY, UH, IN THE WORKS AND WILL HOPEFULLY HAPPEN HERE IN THE NEXT, UH, COUPLE WEEKS. 
          SO SOME UPDATES, UH, THIS IS JUST TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WE'VE TAKEN UPON OURSELVES TO, TO PUT OUT THERE ON OUR WEBSITE, BUT ALSO SOME FUTURE CHANGES THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING AND, AND SOME FUTURE PLAN UPDATES THAT WILL HOPEFULLY HELP AID IN, UH, SEEING THE VISION AND, AND ALIGNING WITH THE VISION THAT WE HAVE FOR THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT. 
          SO, UH, THE FIRST UPDATE WAS CREATING A WEBPAGE FOR THIS REZONING. 
          SPECIFICALLY. 
          THIS INCLUDES ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS REQUEST. 
          IT INCLUDES INFORMATION ABOUT ENVISION DUBLIN, THE SPECIAL AREA PLANS, UM, BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES SOME FAQS ABOUT QUESTIONS THAT WE CONSISTENTLY RECEIVE. 
          THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GREAT WAY JUST TO PUT IT OUT FOR EVERYONE TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS. 
          AND THIS ADDRESSES QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT, THE REZONING PROCESS DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES, AND THEN THE IMPACTS OF NEW DEVELOPMENT AND HOW THAT'S REVIEWED AND APPLIED. 
          UM, SO THIS ADDRESS THAT'S SHOWN, OR THE, THE WEBPAGE ADDRESS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN, YOU COULD ALSO SCAN THE QR CODE AND THAT WILL TAKE YOU TO THIS WEBPAGE WHERE YOU CAN FIND ALL OF THIS INFORMATION. 
          SO THAT IS OUT ON OUR WEBSITE. 
          UH, YOU SHOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO GOOGLE IT AND FIND IT. 
          UM, I HAD TRIED THAT BEFORE AND IT DID WORK FOR ME, SO HOPEFULLY THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE ELSE. 
          UM, OTHER UPDATES THAT HAD COME UP PREVIOUSLY, UH, AT THE APRIL 7TH MEETING, AND THEN AT A SUBSEQUENT MEETING. 
          SO, UH, ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT TIED TO THIS REZONING, THERE WERE SEVERAL, UH, CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED FROM RESIDENTS ABOUT NOISE FROM THE EXISTING DATA CENTER FACILITY LOCATED ON CROSBY COURT. 
          UH, SO THIS SITE CURRENTLY CONTAINS FIVE DATA CENTERS, WHICH BEGAN CONSTRUCTION IN 2014. 
          THE SHELLS OF THE BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED, BUT ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES ARE TIED TO THE INTERIOR, UH, BUILD OUT OF THESE SPACES. 
          AND THAT IS CONTINUING CURRENTLY, UM, IN AN EFFORT TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS RAISED BY NEIGHBORS. 
          CITY STAFF DID MEET WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE DATA CENTER IN PREVIOUS WEEKS. 
          UH, THEIR TEAM WAS APPRECIATIVE OF THE MEETING AND, UH, STAFF RAISING THE CONCERNS AS THIS IS THE FIRST THAT THEY HAD HEARD OF THESE CONCERNS. 
          UH, THEIR TEAM, OR SORRY, STAFF, DISCUSSED THESE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUTURE ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN THE FACILITIES TEAM AND THE PUBLIC TO SHARE CONCERNS AND ASK QUESTIONS AND ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FACILITY. 
          UH, AND CITY STAFF IS COMMITTED TO CONTINUE TO ENGAGE AND COORDINATE WITH THIS FACILITY AND THEIR TEAM, UH, TO IDENTIFY IF THERE'S ANY ADDITIONAL MEASURES FOR SOUND MITIGATION THAT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED AT THIS LOCATION. 
          UM, A PART OF THIS, AGAIN, NOT TO BE REVIEWED TONIGHT, WE WANTED TO PUT THIS IN FRONT OF YOU JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING. 
          WE ARE LOOKING AT POTENTIAL CODE AMENDMENTS, UH, TO HELP ADDRESS SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED BY RESIDENTS, BUT ALSO CITY COUNCIL. 
          UM, STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED, UH, SEVERAL POTENTIAL CODE AMENDMENTS, UH, TO ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS. 
          UH, THESE FUTURE CODE AMENDMENTS WOULD NEED TO BE VETTED FOR NOT JUST THESE PROPERTIES BEING CONSIDERED, BUT FOR ALL PROPERTIES IN THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT. 
          UM, AS THESE, AS THERE ARE PROPERTIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY ZONED ID TWO AND THREE THAT WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT HAVING ANY NEGATIVE IMPACTS, UH, ON THOSE AS THEY ARE CURRENTLY ZONED TO THAT ANY POTENTIAL CODE AMENDMENT WILL BE REVIEWED WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REZONING, BUT ALSO WITH THE RESIDENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE COVERING ALL OUR BASES HERE, THAT WE'RE MEETING AND TALKING ABOUT ALL THESE CHANGES THAT ARE GONNA IMPACT ALL PEOPLE OUT HERE. 
          UH, ANY AMENDMENTS WILL BE CONSIDERED THROUGH THE PUBLIC REVIEW PROCESS, STARTING WITH THE REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION BY THE PLAN ZONING COMMISSION AND FINAL DETERMINATION BY CITY COUNCIL. 
          UM, AND THESE ARE JUST TO OUTLINE A FEW OF THE CHANGES THAT WE'VE ALREADY IDENTIFIED. 
          THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT THERE COULDN'T BE MORE, UM, BUT THIS IS JUST KIND OF WHERE WE STARTED BASED ON A LOT OF THE COMMENTS THAT WE'VE HEARD. 
          SO THE FIRST WAS DATA CENTERS. 
          UM, STAFF IS EXPLORING REMOVING DATA CENTERS AS A PERMITTED OR CONDITIONAL USE IN THE ID TWO ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE BALANCE TREE NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, IN THE ID THREE DISTRICT STAFF'S EXPLORING, LEAVING THAT AS A CONDITIONAL USE, BUT TYING USE SPECIFIC STANDARDS THAT ARE GONNA REALLY REGULATE AND RESTRICT THE OPERATIONS, NOT JUST THE OPERATIONS, BUT, UM, WHAT NEGATIVE 
          [00:15:01]
IMPACTS MAY OCCUR TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. 
          SO SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT COULD BE USED AS USE SPECIFIC STANDARDS, UH, WOULD BE ADDRESSING LOCATION OF MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT, SIZE AND HEIGHT LIMITS ON BUILDINGS, SETBACKS FROM RESIDENTIAL, UH, USES OR RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS, AND THEN NOISE STUDIES AS WELL BEFORE AND AFTER CONSTRUCTION. 
          SO WE HAVE MORE RESEARCH TO DO ON THAT TO SEE WHAT IS APPLICABLE AND WHAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE OUT HERE. 
          AND WE'LL DEFINITELY PROVIDE THOSE UPDATES AS WE MOVE ALONG WITH THIS. 
          UM, UTILITY DISTRICT ENERGY PLANT, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S CURRENTLY A PRIMARY PRINCIPLE USE OUT HERE. 
          THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LOOK TO MAKE AN ACCESSORY USE SO THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO, IT COULDN'T BE ON ITS OWN PROPERTY. 
          IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SUPPORTING AN EXISTING USE OUT THERE. 
          UH, AND THEN THERE'S A LOT OF GAPS AS WELL, UM, IN DEFINITIONS THAT WE HAVE BASED ON USES THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT THAT WE JUST NEED TO ADD OR UPDATE THE DEFINITIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ALIGN WITH THE VISION THAT WE HAVE FOR THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT. 
          SO WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO WITH THAT IN PROVIDING THOSE UPDATES IN THE FUTURE. 
          UM, SERVICE AREA, LOCATIONS AND OPERATIONS, THIS IS REALLY TO ADDRESS, UM, LOADING BAYS AND SERVICE AREAS, MAKING SURE THAT THOSE ARE NOT VISIBLE OR IMPACTING ADJACENT PROPERTIES THAT THOSE ARE INTERNAL TO THE SITE. 
          UM, BUT ALSO ADDRESSING THE HOURS OF OPERATION THAT, THAT PEOPLE CAN BE UTILIZING THEIR BUSINESS IN THOSE SPACES SO THAT IT'S NOT IMPACTING THOSE ADJACENT PROPERTIES DURING THE NIGHT HOURS. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, BUILDING HEIGHTS. 
          THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, UM, WE ARE LOOKING AT DOING POTENTIALLY SOME SORT OF HEIGHT BUFFER ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL. 
          WE WANT TO BE MINDFUL AND CAREFUL 'CAUSE THERE ARE AREAS IN THIS DISTRICT WHERE WE WOULD ENCOURAGE TALLER BUILDINGS SUCH AS THE LONG US 33 OR AT OU. 
          UM, SO WE WANNA BE MINDFUL IN JUST HOW WE'RE APPLYING THIS, AND WE THOUGHT MAYBE A RESIDENTIAL BUFFER WOULD, UH, SUFFICE FOR THAT. 
          SO ALL THINGS THAT WE ARE BEGINNING THAT DISCUSSION WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON SINCE THIS PREVIOUS MEETING WILL HOPEFULLY HAVE SOME UPDATES IN THE COMING MONTHS AS WE WORK THROUGH THIS. 
          AND THEN SHARE WITH PROPERTY OWNERS, UH, AND THE RESIDENTS ADJACENT TO THESE SITES. 
          THE LAST UPDATE I HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT IS STAFF IS, UH, LOOKING TO ENGAGE IN A LANDSCAPE BUFFER STUDY. 
          AND THIS WOULD NOT JUST BE, BE FOR THESE PROPERTIES ADJACENT TO, UH, THESE REZONED PROPERTIES, BUT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DISTRICT BECAUSE WE WANNA UNDERSTAND WHAT, WHAT IS THE CHARACTER GONNA LOOK LIKE OUT IN THIS AREA. 
          UM, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IT'S ALL COORDINATED AND CONSISTENT AS WE GO. 
          SO THIS STUDY, UH, WOULD LOOK AT WHAT BUFFERS AND SETBACKS WILL LOOK LIKE THROUGHOUT SEVERAL AREAS OF THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT BASED ON THOROUGHFARE DESIGNATION, TRANSITIONS BETWEEN DIFFERENT USES AND TYPES OF USES THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. 
          THE STUDY WOULD FURTHER ANALYZE THE RECENT ADOPTED CODE LANDSCAPE BUFFER REQUIREMENTS TO DETERMINE IF ADDITIONAL MODIFICATIONS NEED TO, TO BE MADE, UH, TO MEET THE INTENT OF THE SCREENING BETWEEN DIFFERENT USES IN THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT, MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ADDITIONAL CODE UPDATES IN AREAS WHERE THE BUFFERING LANGUAGE COULD BE MADE MORE CLEAR, AND THEN CREATE POTENTIAL LANDSCAPE BUFFER SETBACK GUIDELINES TO SUPPLEMENT ANY CODE REQUIREMENTS AND HELP COMMUNICATE THE INTENT OF LANDSCAPE BUFFERING IN THIS AREA. 
          SO ANOTHER PLAN OR STUDY THAT WE ARE LOOKING TO ENGAGE IN TO HELP SUPPLEMENT A LOT OF THIS INFORMATION IN THE DIRECTION WE WANT TO SEE THIS DISTRICT GO IN. 
          SO THOSE ARE THE UPDATES. 
          I'LL QUICKLY GO THROUGH THIS. 
          THESE ARE THE SAME SLIDES THAT HAVE WERE SHOWED AT APRIL 7TH, UM, BUT ALSO TO RESIDENTS AT THE, AT ANY OF THE PUBLIC MEETINGS THAT WERE HELD BETWEEN NOW AND APRIL. 
          UM, SO THE PROPERTIES ALONG COSGROVE ROAD ARE DESIGNATED IN OUR FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AS FLEX INNOVATION. 
          YOU CAN SEE THE INTENT STATEMENT AND THE INTENDED USES THAT WOULD OCCUPY THESE TYPES OF AREAS HERE ON THE SCREEN. 
          AND THEN THE PROPERTIES ADJACENT TO HOCHER ROAD ARE FUTURE LAND USE, DESIGNATED INDUSTRIAL, UH, AND YOU CAN SEE THE INTENT STATEMENT AND THEN THE USES THAT ARE INTENDED THERE. 
          THE SPECIAL AREA PLAN CONTINUES TO REINFORCE THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN. 
          YOU CAN SEE THE USE CATEGORIES, UH, ARE CONSISTENT WITH THAT PLAN, AND THIS JUST ESTABLISHES MORE RECOMMENDATIONS, UH, FOR THIS DISTRICT AS A WHOLE, NOT JUST THESE PROPERTIES, BUT THE 2200 ACRES THAT ARE CONSIDERED THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT. 
          AND SOME OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT, UH, ADDRESS BUFFERING FROM COSWAY ROAD. 
          THEY ADDRESS PRESERVATION OF CERTAIN STRUCTURES, THE EXTENSION OF ROADWAYS, UH, AND THEN LEVERAGING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES. 
          THESE PROPERTIES ARE CURRENTLY ZONE RURAL, UH, AND THEY WOULD BE DISTRIBUTED BETWEEN ID TWO AND ID THREE CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS AS SHOWN THOSE PREVIOUS SLIDES, THE PROPERTIES ON COSCO ROAD WOULD BE ID TWO, THE PROPERTIES ON HOCHER ROAD WOULD BE ID THREE. 
          THE PERMITTED AND CONDITIONAL USES THAT ARE SHOWN ON THE SCREEN REFLECT THE RE THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED CODE AMENDMENTS, UM, THAT WERE PART OF ORDINANCE OH 7 25. 
          UH, SO THAT INCLUDES THE CHANGES TO DATA CENTERS AND, UH, MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY. 
          SO WITH THAT, UH, STAFF DID REVIEW THIS CRITERIA BASED ON THE, UH, APPLICABLE CRITERIA THAT WE USE WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN. 
          [00:20:01]
UM, AND ALTHOUGH STAFF CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE REZONING TO ID TWO AND ID THREE, UH, WE ALSO RECOGNIZE AND APPRECIATE THE CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS REGARDING POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS. 
          SO IN RESPONSE, STAFF RECOMMENDS PREPARING TARGETED AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING CODE IN COURT, UH, COLLABORATION WITH BOTH RESIDENTS AND CURRENT PROPERTY OWNERS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ASSURANCES AND REINFORCE THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO HIGH QUALITY CONTEXT SENSITIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT. 
          UH, SO THESE AMENDMENTS, AS STATED, WOULD BE VETTED THROUGH THE PUBLIC REVIEW PROCESS GOING THROUGH PLAN OF ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL. 
          SO THAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING HOLDING AN ADDITIONAL HEARING AND CONTINUATION OF THIS PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE ORDINANCE OH 6 25 AT THE AUGUST 11TH, 2025 CITY COUNCIL MEETING. 
          HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GREAT, THANK YOU ZACH. 
          UM, WE WILL NOW MOVE TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION OF OUR AGENDA, AND I WOULD LIKE TO, UM, LAY OUT SOME, HOW, HOW WE DO PUBLIC COMMENT HERE IN THE CITY OF DUBLIN. 
          SO, UH, EVERY EVERYONE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK WILL BE ALLOTTED THREE MINUTES.

          BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REITERATE SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE SAID PREVIOUSLY, THAT IS CERTAINLY WELL WITHIN YOUR RIGHT AS WELL. 
          SO WITH THAT, I ASSUME THAT MAYBE ONE OR TWO OF YOU HAVE SIGNED IN TO SPEAK.

          OKAY. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          MY NAME IS ANGIE PAUL WHITFIELD, AND I LIVE AT 5 8 9 1 BARRON'S COURT WAY. 
          I'M A LITIGATION PARTNER WITH THE LAW FIRM OF CARPENTER LIPS, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY TONIGHT, I STAND BEFORE YOU AS A PROUD RESIDENT OF THE BALL TRADE COMMUNITY. 
          FIRST, I WANT TO THANK THE MANY RESIDENTS WHO WILL SPEAK AFTER ME THIS EVENING, THOUGHTFULLY AND COURAGEOUSLY BRINGING FORWARD STRONG FACT-BASED CONCERNS AND OPPOSITION TO THIS PROPOSED ORDINANCE. 
          I ALSO WANT TO THANK CITY STAFF FOR THEIR RESEARCH AND WORK THAT THEY'VE PUT INTO THIS. 
          AND I WANT TO EXPRESS MY SINCERE APPRECIATION TO THE MAYOR AND THE COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR YOUR TIME AND WILLINGNESS TO LISTEN TONIGHT. 
          WE ARE ALL HERE BECAUSE WE CARE DEEPLY ABOUT DUBLIN. 
          THIS IS A REMARKABLE PLACE TO LIVE, TO RAISE A FAMILY, TO RETIRE, TO CONTRIBUTE, AND TO THRIVE. 
          FROM AWARD-WINNING SCHOOLS AND TOP TIER ATHLETICS TO MUSIC, THEATER, PARKS, AND SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS, DUBLIN HAS EARNED ITS REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE BEST COMMUNITIES IN THE NATION. 
          THAT IS NOT BY ACCIDENT. 
          IT IS THE RESULT OF CAREFUL PLANNING, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AND LEADERSHIP THAT VALUES LONG-TERM VISION OVER CONVENIENCE. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT BRINGS US HERE TODAY. 
          THIS PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO RECLASSIFY RURAL LAND TO INDUSTRIAL USE DOES NOT REFLECT THAT VISION. 
          INDEED, THE CITY'S OWN 2023 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE STATES LIGHT INDUSTRIAL IS TYPICALLY LOCATED AWAY FROM RESIDENTIAL USES. 
          THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE ALSO DOES NOT REFLECT THE DUBLIN WE'VE INVESTED IN, BUILT UP, OR BELIEVED IN. 
          AND THE TRUTH IS NO ONE IN THIS ROOM WANTS TO BE PART OF THE GENERATION KNOWN TO HAVE ALLOWED DUBLIN TO BECOME KNOWN FOR WHAT IT USED TO BE, INSTEAD OF WHAT IT STILL CAN BE. 
          WE ARE NOT HERE TO OBSTRUCT PROGRESS. 
          WE'RE HERE TO ADVOCATE FOR THE RIGHT KIND OF PROGRESS, PROGRESS THAT ALIGNS WITH OUR COMMUNITY VALUES AND THE EXPECTATIONS THAT FAMILIES AND HOMEOWNERS ACROSS DUBLIN HOLD DEAR. 
          THIS ORDINANCE FEELS RUSHED. 
          THERE HAVE BEEN NO SPECIFIC PROJECT, NO CLEAR RATIONALE BEYOND GENERAL 
          [00:25:01]
REFERENCES TO INCOME TAX, REVENUE GENERATION, AND NO TRANSPARENT COMMUNICATIONS TO RESIDENTS. 
          THIS LACK OF CLARITY COMBINED WITH SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT SAFETY, INFRASTRUCTURE STRAIN, AND DECREASED PROPERTY VALUES AND UNKNOWN ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY IMPACTS SHOULD GIVE US ALL PAUSE. 
          SO WE ASK JUST THAT PAUSE. 
          THERE'S NO URGENCY THAT JUSTIFIES PUSHING THIS THROUGH WITHOUT BROADER INPUT. 
          INSTEAD, LIKE STAFF SAID, CONSIDER ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY THROUGH A WORKING GROUP WITH AN ONGOING OPEN COMMENT PERIOD OR OTHER COLLABORATIVE REVIEW PROCESS. 
          WE BELIEVE THE RESIDENTS DESERVE TO BE PART OF THIS CONVERSATION. 
          THEIR VOICES MATTER, THEIR INVESTMENTS MATTER. 
          THEIR FAMILIES MATTER. 
          IN CONCLUSION, I RESPECTFULLY URGE COUNSEL NOT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE, WITH A VOTE ON THIS ORDINANCE TONIGHT. 
          INSTEAD, LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE ANY CHANGES REFLECT A SHARED VISION, ONE THAT PROTECTS WHAT MAKES DUBLIN EXCEPTIONAL AND ENSURES ITS CONTINUED SUCCESS AS A SAFE, VIBRANT, AND FAMILY FOCUSED COMMUNITY. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, YOUR SERVICE AND YOUR CONSIDERATION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          LINDSAY, CAN YOU CALL THE NEXT MAYOR LINDSEY, DO YOU HAVE THE NEXT PERSON? LYNN RU. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          I'M LYNN RU, 58 30 HOARD ROAD WHERE I'VE LIVED 35 YEARS IN A HOUSE THAT I BUILT WITH MY OWN HANDS AS A KID. 
          MY GRANDPARENTS LIVED AT THE CORNER OF HOARD AND RINGS, THE HISTORIC BRICK FARMHOUSE. 
          IT'S BEAUTIFUL. 
          THAT'S HOW I ENDED UP ON HOARD ROAD. 
          THAT'S HOW I GOT HERE TONIGHT. 
          I'VE SEEN A LOT OF WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPEN WITH DUBLIN. 
          MOSTLY WONDERFUL. 
          I GOT TO SEE DUBLIN GO FROM VILLAGE TO CITY. 
          I GOT TO SEE THE MEMORIAL DEVELOP AROUND A VERY LONG TIME. 
          THAT'S HOW I GOT HERE TONIGHT. 
          NOW HOW DO WE GET HERE TONIGHT? I'VE BEEN ASKED TO SUMMARIZE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT ATTENDED PRIOR MEETINGS. 
          IN TODAY'S CULTURE OF MISINFORMATION, THE TRUTH HAS NEVER BEEN MORE IMPORTANT. 
          EMBRACING THE TRUTH HAS NEVER BEEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW. 
          WE SHOULD ALL ASK OF OURSELVES, OF THE THINGS WE HEAR TONIGHT. 
          NOW, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? WHICH WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES IF THE RESIDENTS AND THE NEIGHBORS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES WHO WILL BE MOST NEGATIVELY IMPACTED, IF THEY'RE AWARE OF IT, WHY HAVE THEY CHOSEN NOT TO ENGAGE? WHY HAVE THEY CHOSEN NOT TO PARTICIPATE OR POSSIBLY THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF IT? I THINK NOW WE'RE AWARE OF IT. 
          UM, WE RECEIVED A POSTCARD JUST FIVE DAYS BEFORE THE FINAL PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING. 
          WE WERE SHOCKED BY THE CHANGES THAT WERE BEING PROPOSED. 
          I HAD SHARED OUR FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE WITH THE AMAZON NOISE AT THAT, AT THAT MEETING. 
          UM, IT, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S ENVIRONMENTALLY DAMAGING. 
          IT'S INESCAPABLE, IT'S RELENTLESS. 
          AND IT GOES, IT HAS WAVELENGTHS THAT, UH, GO FAR AND THROUGH EVERYTHING DATA CENTERS ARE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECOLOGICAL DISASTERS, BUT YET WE DON'T HAVE A CODE THAT PROTECTS US FROM THAT NOISE. 
          NOT YET. 
          ANYWAY, OTHER COMMENTS AT THE MEETINGS PRIOR WERE, WHERE WERE YOU 18 MONTHS AGO? DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? REALLY? IF WE KNEW ABOUT IT, WE'D HAVE BEEN HERE. 
          WE WOULD'VE AT THIS TIME. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR RECONSIDERING HOW THIS GOES FORWARD. 
          WE'RE NOT TRYING TO STAND IN THE WAY OF PROGRESS, BUT WE NEED TO GET IT RIGHT. 
          WE NEED TO TAKE THE TIME TO GET IT RIGHT TO ENGAGE, WHICH WE HAVE NOT HAD ENGAGEMENT UNTIL NOW. 
          THIS IS WHAT ENGAGEMENT LOOKS LIKE TO ME. 
          AND, UH, ONE OTHER THING IS THAT, YOU KNOW, DUBLIN HAS A LONG, PROUD HISTORY OF GETTING IT RIGHT. 
          ARE WE WILLING TO ABANDON OUR REPUTATION AND OUR LEGACY, UM, FOR RESPONSIBLE PLANNING AND TRADE IT FOR UGLY INDUSTRIAL AND MANUFACTURING? WE CAN DO IT RIGHT. 
          AND THAT'S, UH, I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TONIGHT AND THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT NAME LINDSAY VICTORIA MCDONALD. 
          WELCOME. 
          IF YOU PLEASE WOULD STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          MY NAME IS VICTORIA MCDONALD. 
          I LIVE AT 5 6 4 2 TYING CASTLE LOOP. 
          YOU HAVE HEARD FROM OTHERS THROUGH EMAILS, CONVERSATIONS, AND COMMUNICATIONS, JUST ABOUT THE PERSONAL CONNECTION THAT ALL OF US HAVE WITH OUR COMMUNITY. 
          ITS HISTORY 
          [00:30:01]
AND THE LEGACY OF THE AREA. 
          THROUGH RECENT COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS, MANY RESIDENTS HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC CONCERNS RELATED TO PROPERTY VALUES AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THIS PROJECT. 
          THE IDENTITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND GREATER COMMUNITY ARE AT RISK OF CHANGING IF THE PROPOSED REZONING IS PERMITTED. 
          THESE PERSPECTIVES SHARED BY BOTH ADULTS AND YOUTH DESERVE TO BE HEARD AND CONSIDERED WHEN FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY IS GENUINELY VALUED. 
          IT HELPS FOSTER TRUST, TRANSPARENCY, AND A SHARED SENSE OF STEWARDSHIP. 
          I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT WHERE I LIVE AND I BELIEVE THAT EVERY VOICE SHOULD BE A PART OF SHAPING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD'S FUTURE. 
          I ALSO BELIEVE IT'S JUST IMPORTANT FOR YOUNGER RESIDENTS TO SPEAK UP. 
          THEY'RE THE ONES WHO WILL LIVE WITH THESE DECISIONS THE LONGEST, THEIR EXPERIENCES, IDEAS, AND HOPES FOR THE FUTURE MATTER JUST AS MUCH AS OURS. 
          SO I'D LIKE TO LET DEVIN AND MADDIE SPEAK AS WELL. 
          HI, MY NAME IS MADDIE MCDONALD AND I LIVE AT 5 6 4 2 10 CASTLE LOOP. 
          AS A TEENAGE RESIDENT OF BALANCE RATE, I BELIEVE THAT CLEAR AND COLLABORATIVE COMMUNICATION ABOUT MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS SUCH AS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A POSSIBLE DATA CENTER IS ESSENTIAL. 
          WHILE THESE PROJECTS MAY BRING TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS, THEY ALSO RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, NOISE, TRAFFIC, AND HOW DAILY LIFE MAY BE AFFECTED. 
          YOUTH AND FAMILIES ARE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY TOO, AND OUR PERSPECTIVES SHOULD BE HEARD WHEN CHANGES ARE MADE WITHOUT INPUT FROM THOSE WHO LIVE NEARBY IT, ESPECIALLY YOUNGER VOICES, IT CREATES A SENSE OF BEING UNSEEN AND UNHEARD BY INVOLVING ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 
          IN THE DISCUSSION, WE MAKE A STRONG CONNECTION BETWEEN RESIDENTS AND CITY COUNCIL. 
          I CARE ABOUT WHERE I LIVE AND I WANNA BE A PART OF SHAPING HOW IT GROWS. 
          HI, MY NAME IS DEVIN MCDONALD AND I LIVE AT 56 42 TY CASH LOOP. 
          I HAVE HEARD, I'VE LIVED, I HAVE LIVED IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD FOR SEVEN YEARS. 
          I HEARD THAT DAD CENTERS OR OTHER INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS MIGHT BE BUILT NEAR WHERE I LIVE. 
          I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT KIDS LIKE ME UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON AND CAN TALK ABOUT IT TOO. 
          SOME PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ARE WORRIED ABOUT THINGS LIKE LOUD NI NOISES OR MORE CARS ON THE ROAD. 
          I CARE ABOUT MY HOME AND MY SCHOOL AND I WANNA STAY AND I WANT IT TO STAY A SAFE AND HAPPY PLACE. 
          THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS WHERE I'VE MADE SOME OF MY BEST MEMORIES. 
          RIDING MY BIKE WITH FRIENDS, PLAYING SOCCER AT THE FIELDS AND GOING TO SCHOOL. 
          THESE PLACES ARE BIG PART, ARE A BIG PART OF MY CHILDHOOD AND I HOPE THEY CAN STAY THE WAY I REMEMBER THEM. 
          MY VISION OF DUBLIN DOES NOT INCLUDE DATA CENTERS OR DISTRIBUTION CENTERS. 
          I WORRY ZONING CHANGES COULD TAKE AWAY SOME OF THE SPECIAL THINGS THAT MAKE MY NEIGHBORHOOD FEEL LIKE HOME. 
          I BELIEVE THAT EVEN THOUGH I AM YOUNG, MY VOICE AND THE VOICES OF OTHER KIDS SHOULD BE HEARD. 
          WE'RE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY TOO. 
          AND WHAT HAPPENS NOW WILL SHAPE THE MEMORIES WE CARRY TO THE FUTURE. 
          LINDSAY NEXT NAME LINDSAY BARTOW. 
          WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          WHAT BUTTON DO I PUSH? OH, OKAY. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          MY NAME IS LINDSAY BARTOW. 
          I LIVE AT 5 7 9 7 TRAFALGAR LANE. 
          I HAVE LIVED IN DUBLIN FOR OVER 13 YEARS AND I LOVE THE COMMUNITY SO MUCH AND I'M HERE TO PROTECT IT. 
          I ALSO AM COMING TO YOU TONIGHT AS A MARKETING PROFESSIONAL. 
          I HAVE, UM, SPENT 25 YEARS IN THE MARKETING INDUSTRY WITH SOME OF CENTRAL OHIO'S LARGEST RETAIL AND PUBLISHING COMPANIES, BOTH PUBLICLY AND PRIVATELY OWNED. 
          I HAVE EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN COMMUNITY MARKETING, IN ANALYZING TRENDS, DATA AND OPINIONS TO FOSTER THE BE BEST OUTCOMES FOR THE COMPANIES I SERVE AND ALL OF THEIR STAKEHOLDERS. 
          BASED ON THIS EXPERIENCE, I REVIEWED ALL 300 PLUS PAGES OF THE COMMUNITY FEEDBACK THAT YOU ALL HAVE RECEIVED AS WELL AND WOULD HAVE TO QUESTION WHY ANYONE IN THE CITY WOULD FEEL THAT MOVING FORWARD WITH THESE PLANS IS REFLECTIVE OF THE OUTCOME THAT THE COMMUNITY DESIRES. 
          THERE ARE ONLY TWO COMMENTS WITHIN THE DOCUMENT THAT EVEN MILDLY SUPPORT, UM, THE REZONING. 
          AND ONE OF THEM IS FROM AN INDIVIDUAL WHO SUPPOSEDLY RESIDES AT AN ADDRESS THAT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST. 
          [00:35:01]
SO I WILL NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH REPEATING, UM, ALL OF THE, UH, THEMES THAT I SAW IN THE DOCUMENT, BUT I DO WANNA CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO JUST A FEW. 
          UM, SO AND NO PARTICULAR ORDER, BUT THINGS THAT DEFINITELY IMPACT US VERY MUCH ARE LOSS OF NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER, AESTHETIC DEGRADATION TO THE CITY OF DUBLIN AS A WHOLE. 
          THIS DOESN'T JUST IMPACT BALANCE, TRADE IMPACTS THE ENTIRE CITY OF DUBLIN, LACK OF DATA TO SUPPORT REVENUE GAINS AND INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS AND READINESS AND INQ AND ADEQUATE TRANSITION TO RESIDE FROM RESIDENTIAL AREAS. 
          ONE OF THE KEY ASPECTS OF ANY SOLID MARKETING STRATEGY IS COMMUNICATION. 
          AND THAT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PROCESS. 
          I AM ONE OF THE RESIDENTS WHO WAS NOT PROVIDED NOTICE, UM, OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING IN FEBRUARY OR THE CITY COUNCIL HEARING IN APRIL DUE TO A TECHNICAL GLITCH. 
          AND I DO LIVE WITHIN THE 300 FEET OR YARDS. 
          UM, I FORGET WHICH ONE IT IS OF THE REQUIRED, UM, BEING NOTIFIED. 
          I CAN ATTEST THAT NONE OF MY NEIGHBORS, AND I'VE TALKED TO A LOT OF THEM, DID EITHER. 
          DUBLIN'S STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK STATES THAT ONE OF ITS CORE VALUES IS QUOTE, INTEGRITY. 
          WE ARE OPEN AND HONEST. 
          WE HONOR COMMITMENTS TO THE COMMUNITY AND EACH OTHER. 
          OUR ACTIONS ARE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE SAY. 
          SO I WANT TO ASK, DID THE FAILURE TO SEND NOTICES LIVE UP TO ITS CORE VALUE? AT THE END OF THE DAY, MY JOB AS A MARKETING PROFESSIONAL DEPENDS ON LISTENING NOT SOLELY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR THE LEADERSHIP TEAM, BUT TO THE FULL COMMUNITY OF CUSTOMERS AND ALL STAKEHOLDERS. 
          IF I IGNORE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING, THE RESULTS SUFFER. 
          TRUST IS LOST, AND THE OUTCOME FAILS. 
          IN MANY WAYS, YOUR ROLE IN CITY COUNCIL IS NO DIFFERENT. 
          YOU ARE STEWARDS OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE ARE YOUR STAKEHOLDERS RIGHT NOW. 
          THEY ARE SPEAKING CLEARLY AND IN LARGE NUMBERS. 
          THEY DO NOT WANT, WE DO NOT WANT THIS REZONING CHANGE JUST AS IN MARKETING. 
          WHEN YOUR AUDIENCE GIVES YOU CLEAR FEEDBACK, YOU PIVOT. 
          YOU COURSE CORRECT, YOU RESPECT THE PEOPLE YOU SERVE. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR HERE, FOR YOU TO HEAR US AND ACT IN LINE WITH THE PEOPLE'S VOICE. 
          PLEASE DO NOT VOTE ON THE REZONING TODAY AND GIVE TIME TO DO THE WORK, TO DO MORE STUDIES AND MORE RESEARCH BEFORE MAKING A DECISION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, LINDSAY. 
          NEXT, SANDRA MCINTOSH. 
          WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          OKAY. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          UH, MY NAME IS SANDY MCINTOSH. 
          I LIVE AT 5 7 9 2 TRAFALGAR LANE. 
          UH, BY DAY I'M A PARTNER AT A LAW FIRM DOWNTOWN. 
          UH, THE REST OF THE TIME I'M A BALANCE TRADE RESIDENT. 
          I TOO WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CITY FOR ITS RECENT EFFORTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME AND OTHERS. 
          AND TONIGHT I OFFER THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL COMMENTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. 
          THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT IS A SOLUTION IN SEARCH OF A PROBLEM. 
          THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN GIVEN AS REVENUE GENERATION, BUT THE CITY OF DUBLIN DOES NOT HAVE A REVENUE PROBLEM. 
          ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT REPORT AVAILABLE ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE, INCOME TAX RECEIPTS HAVE GROWN AN AVERAGE OF 3.4% ANNUALLY OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS, WHICH THE REPORT STATES SHOWS THE STRENGTH AND STABILITY OF OUR EXISTING TAX BASE. 
          INDEED, THE CITY BROKE RECORDS FOR INCOME TAX REVENUE COLLECTION IN BOTH 2023 AND 2024. 
          ADDITIONALLY, THE ENVISION DUBLIN PLAN NOTES THAT THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL INCOME GENERATION THROUGH FOLKS WORKING FROM HOME. 
          A COMMENT WAS MADE AT A RECENT CITY MEETING WITH RESIDENTS OF WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP THAT DUBLIN HAS A REPUTATION FOR BEING ALL ABOUT MONEY. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT THIS PLANNED REZONING FEELS LIKE. 
          THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT A PRIVATE ENTITY THAT SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR A PROFIT. 
          BUT EVEN MORE UPSETTING IS THE FACT THAT THE CITY SEEMS TO BE ASKING ONE RESIDENTIAL AREA TO BEAR THE ENTIRE BRUNT OF MAKING MORE MONEY. 
          ASIDE FROM THERE BEING NO PRESSING FINANCIAL NEED FOR THE REZONING AND THIS POTENTIAL RE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, THERE'S NO DATA TO SUPPORT THE AMOUNT OF INCOME THE CITY MIGHT RECEIVE FROM THE REZONING. 
          SHOULDN'T YOU HAVE SOME IDEA OF WHAT YOU MIGHT GET FROM SUCH A DRASTIC CHANGE TO THE LAND USE BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO CHANGE IT? WHEN I CAME TO THE MEETING TONIGHT, I WALKED PAST A BEAUTIFUL MURAL ON THE WALL DOWN THE HALL FROM THIS ROOM, IT SHOWS FARMHOUSES CHURCHES, THE MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT, REFERENCING THE VIBRANT BRIDGE PARK AREA AND THE DUBLIN IRISH FEST. 
          WHAT WILL THE CITY ADD TO THIS MURAL TO REPRESENT THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT? IF THE REZONING IS APPROVED, A GIANT DOLLAR SIGN, SMOKESTACKS AN ELECTRICAL SUBSTATION, NONE OF THAT IS IN KEEPING WITH DUBLIN'S IDENTITY AND REPUTATION. 
          I GREW UP NEAR, UH, ELYRIA IN NORTHEASTERN OHIO. 
          ELYRIA USED TO HAVE MANY INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES. 
          MOST OF THOSE HAVE CLOSED OR DOWNSIZED DUE TO THE DECLINE OF MANUFACTURING JOBS. 
          WHAT'S LEFT ARE ABANDONED, OLD, EMPTY 
          [00:40:01]
AND UGLY BUILDINGS THAT NO ONE MAINTAINS AND THAT ARE SURROUNDED BY PARKING LOTS WITH WEED GROWING OUT OF THE CRACKS. 
          WELL, THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL JOBS THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AT THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT, BE THERE IN 10 YEARS OR EVEN FIVE WITH THE RAPIDLY INCREASING USE OF AI OR WILL IT LOOK LIKE ELYRIA? MY CALL TO YOU TONIGHT IS TO RE-ENVISION DUBLIN FOLLOW STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION, NOT TO VOTE ON THE REZONING TONIGHT UNLESS YOU PLAN TO VOTE NO AND ESTABLISH A WORK GROUP THAT WILL ALLOW THE CITY TO COLLABORATE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT CARE ABOUT DUBLIN AND WILL BE MOST IMPACTED BY THIS PROPOSED CHANGE. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU LINDSAY TARA ROWE. 
          WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          I'M TARA ROWE. 
          MY ADDRESS IS 5 7 4 9 TRAFALGAR LANE. 
          I LAST SPOKE AT THE APRIL 7TH MEETING BECAUSE I HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE PROPOSED REZONING BY A FLYER AT MY MAILBOX, NOT BY THE CITY, BUT A CONCERNED NEIGHBOR. 
          WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR PROPERTY VALUES. 
          MY HUSBAND AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE BALANCE TREE CONCEPT DURING THE PARADE OF HOMES IN 2002 AND BUILT OUR FIRST HOUSE CLOSING ON IT IN JUNE OF 2004. 
          WE GOT MARRIED AT THE GOLF CLUB OF DUBLIN IN 2011 AND DECIDED TO MOVE TO THE VILLAS IN DECEMBER, 2012 AS AN INVESTMENT DECISION. 
          AND BECAUSE WE LOVE THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE PATIO HOMES AND THE EUROPEAN VILLAGE VIBE. 
          AFTER HAVING TWO KIDS, WE DECIDED TO MOVE TO A PROPERTY WITH A BIGGER BACKYARD AND AGAIN AS AN INVESTMENT DECISION, OUR CURRENT HOUSE ON TRAFALGAR IN 2017, OUR THIRD HOUSE IN ENTRE, I WOULD SEE THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OUT MY FRONT DOOR. 
          THROUGH THE YEARS WITH EACH HOME, WE INVESTED MORE IN BALLANT TREE AND MORE IN DUBLIN. 
          I ATTENDED AN ENVISION DUBLIN PLANNING MEETING EARLY ON. 
          THE DISCUSSION WAS LARGELY ABOUT SPORTS FIELDS AND LACK OF SPACE FOR PRACTICING GAMES FOR MULTIPLE SPORTS. 
          WE HAVEN'T YET HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THE ELITE SPORTS CENTER ALSO PLANNED. 
          WE'D PREFER THAT TO THIS REZONING. 
          THERE WAS NO MENTION OF WANTING MORE INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS. 
          THE CITY DECIDED TO KNOCK ON DOORS TO START THE CONVERSATION WITH PROPERTY OWNERS OF THESE PARCELS. 
          MANY OWNED OR MANAGED BY INVESTMENT COMPANIES. 
          THE CITY DECIDED TO PROPOSE THIS REZONING AS OF THIS YEAR, NOT THE 18 MONTHS AGO, OFTEN USED AS A TALKING POINT TO MAKE IT SEEM WE'RE OUT OF TOUCH. 
          THIS WASN'T ON THE TABLE UNTIL THIS YEAR AND NEIGHBORS WITHIN 300 FEET WEREN'T EVEN NOTIFIED UNTIL JUST PRIOR TO THE MAY 10TH MEETING. 
          DESPITE WHAT THE MEMO SAYS, ONE PARCEL OWNER ONCE RESIDENTIAL ON HIS PROPERTY, BUT YOU DENIED HIS APPLICATION. 
          AND WHEN WE TALKED TO HIS AGENTS RECENTLY, THEY STILL SAID THAT AS HIS DESIRE AND ANOTHER PERSONAL OWNER DIDN'T THINK HE HAD ANY SAY IN HOW THIS PROPERTY WAS GOING TO BE REZONED AND IN FACT THAT IT ALREADY HAD, BUT IT WOULD BE LIMITED TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, WHICH SEEMS LIKE A BIT OF A MISCHARACTERIZATION OF WHAT'S PERMITTED UNDER THE CODE. 
          NO OTHER RESIDENTIAL AREAS ARE THIS CLOSE TO INDUSTRIAL AND DUBLIN. 
          WELL, ONE IS NEAR INDUSTRIAL PARKWAY AND IT SAW A 17% DECLINE IN PROPERTY VALUE SINCE 2020. 
          AND BY COMMENTS MADE BY DUBLIN PLANNING AND ZONING NOTES REGARDING THE PROPOSED CAUSE, GRAY FARMS FROM JUNE, 2024. 
          ANOTHER CONSIDERATION FOR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE IS THE PROXIMITY TO THE BALANCE TREE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE EAST OF COS GRAY. 
          THE SUBJECT SITE WAS PREVIOUSLY INTENDED TO PROVIDE A TRANSITION FROM BALLANT TREE TO THE RURAL UNDEVELOPED LAND WEST OF DUBLIN. 
          WHAT CHANGED? WHY IS THIS SUDDENLY NO LONGER A CONSIDERATION OF THE MANY NEIGHBORS I'VE BEEN ABLE TO MEET OVER THE PAST 21 YEARS IN BALLANT TREE AND ARE NEW FRIENDS ON CHARD ROAD? I KNOW US TO BE A HARDWORKING, SAVVY GROUP WHO WANTS TO SEE OUR COMMUNITY THRIVE. 
          MANY SHARED THEIR CONCERNS ON PROPERTY VALUE AND COMMENTS YOU RECEIVED WERE REASONABLE. 
          BUT WE DO EXPECT YOU TO DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AND COLLABORATE WITH US. 
          WE'RE JUST LACKING SO MANY DETAILS. 
          WE CAN'T JUST HAVE BLIND FAITH WITH NO INFORMATION. 
          IT'S OUR PROPERTY VALUES THAT WILL SUFFER. 
          I DON'T THINK BALANCER WOULD'VE BEEN CREATIVE HOMES COMMUNITY IF INDUSTRIAL WAS ALWAYS THE PLAN. 
          NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR. 
          THANK YOU LINDSAY. 
          NEXT DAY. 
          AMY BEL, WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          GOOD EVENING, AMY SIEBEL. 
          I RESIDE AT 5 8 8 4 BARON'S COURT WAY. 
          I AM SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF MY NEIGHBOR MATT SIMON, AS APPOINTED PROXY IN HIS ABSENCE. 
          MR. SIMON IS A LICENSED INSURANCE BROKER IN THE STATE OF OHIO. 
          SO I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU, UH, A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. 
          THE PROPOSED ZONING OF PARCELS ON COS GRAY ROAD IN DUBLIN COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE NEGATIVE INSURANCE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF BALANCE TRAY AS WELL AS ANY RESIDENTS 
          [00:45:01]
NEAR THE NEW INDUSTRIAL ZONE. 
          WHEN INSURANCE COMPANIES UNDERWRITE A SPECIFIC PROPERTY TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY'RE WILLING TO EXTEND AN OFFER TO ENSURE AND THE PREMIUM THEY WILL CHARGE FOR THE COVERAGE, THE EXPOSURES IN THE NEAR VICINITY OF THE PROPOSED PROPERTY ARE CONSIDERED. 
          WHEN THOSE PROPERTIES ARE RESIDENTIAL PARKS, GREEN SPACES, OR OTHER BENIGN EXPOSURES, THE PROPERTY BEING UNDERWRITTEN IS OFTEN CONSIDERED LOW RISK AND THEREFORE RESULTS IN A LARGER SUPPLY OF INSURANCE COMPANIES WILLING TO PROVIDE COVERAGE AT A MORE FAVORABLE PREMIUM. 
          HOWEVER, WHEN HIGHER RISK OCCUPANCIES BORDER RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES, UNDERWRITING COULD PRESUME A HIGH A HIGHER LIKELIHOOD OF CLAIM OCCURRING. 
          HIGHER RISKS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO INDUSTRIAL SITES THAT CAN POSE A HIGHER RISK OF ACCIDENTS, ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS, AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. 
          THIS INCREASED RISK PROFILE CAN LEAD TO INSURERS TO CHARGE HIGHER PREMIUMS. ADDITIONALLY, PROXIMITY TO HIGHER RISK AREAS. 
          SO PROPERTY SITUATED NEAR HAZARDOUS AREAS SUCH AS INDUSTRIAL ZONES MAY FACE HIGHER INSURANCE COSTS DUE TO THE HEIGHTENED RISK OF PULL POLLUTION, EXCUSE ME, POLLUTION RELATED CLAIMS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AT BEST, A HIGHER PREMIUM WOULD BE CHARGED FOR THE INCREASED EXPOSURE. 
          AT WORST, THE INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD BE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE COVERAGE ENTIRELY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU LINDSAY. 
          NEXT NAME THERESA COLLINS. 
          WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          MY NAME IS THERESA COLLINS AND I HAVE LIVED AT 56 19 TIME CASTLE LOOP FOR 19 YEARS. 
          WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I STARTED OUR HOME SEARCH, WE BYPASSED MY TOWN OF GROVE CITY, OHIO AND WE SET OUR SIGHTS ON DUBLIN FOR OUR ITS LOW CRIME WALL PLANNED COMMUNITIES. 
          AND RE WAS OUR IDEAL ACCESS TO HILLIARD SCHOOLS, DUBLIN AMENITIES, AND A HOME WE ENVISIONED RAISING CHILDREN IN AND GROWING OLDEN. 
          WE KNEW DEVELOPMENT WAS INEVITABLE, BUT TRUSTED DOUBLE LEADERS TO PREVENT DENSE MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING OR INDUSTRIAL TYPE BUSINESSES THAT WOULD THREATEN THE VERY QUALITIES THAT DREW US HERE. 
          NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME I'VE CONTEMPLATED MOVING A THOUGHT THAT WEIGHS HEAVILY ON ME. 
          THAT TRUST IN DUBLIN'S VISION IS WHY I STAYED ENGAGED IN OUR COMMUNITY'S FUTURE. 
          DRAWING ON MY EXPERIENCES AS A MOTHER OF TEENS AND FORMER PRESCHOOL TEACHER, WHILE I'M NO EXPERT IN ZONING CODES, I BRING A DEEP COMMITMENT OF SAFETY TO AND KNACK FOR FINDING ANSWERS. 
          I ASKED MY, I WAS ASKED TO FIND THE CRIME DATA PRE FOUND IN THE PRESENTATION GIVEN BY TODD HEMMER AT THE JUNE 11TH MEETING. 
          THE FIRST SLIDE SHOWS A TOWN COMPARABLE TO DUBLIN, SIMILAR IN SIZE WITH A PASSENGER TRAIN STATION THAT WAS STRAIGHTFORWARD. 
          THE CHALLENGE WAS LOCATING A CENTRAL OHIO NEIGHBORHOOD WITH HOMES VALUED BETWEEN 500 AND A MILLION DOLLARS. 
          THAT'S WHAT OUR HOMES HAVE SOLD FOR IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS, DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO INDUSTRIAL ZONING LIKE ID TWO OR ID THREE. 
          AFTER CONSIDERABLE TIME SEARCHING, I FOUND NO SUCH AREA IN DUBLIN OR ELSEWHERE IN CENTRAL OHIO. 
          AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, IT SIMPLY DOESN'T EXIST. 
          THE CLOSEST EXAMPLE WAS A SOUTH PARK INDUSTRIAL CENTER IN GROVE CITY WHERE LIGHT, INDUSTRIAL AND WAREHOUSES BORDER HOMES NOT A PERFECT MATCH, BUT THE BEST COMPARISON AVAILABLE. 
          USING THE LEXINEXIS COMMUNITY CRIME MAP FOR THE TIMES OF APRIL 29TH, 2024 TO JUNE 5TH, UH, 2025, I FOUND 226 CRIME INCIDENTS WITHIN A ONE MILE RADIUS OF SOUTH PARK, INCLUDING 30 DRUG RELATED CASES AND 10 HOME BURGLARIES. 
          BY CONTRAST, A ONE MILE RADIUS AROUND THE GOLF CLUB OF DUBLIN AND THE SAME PERIOD SHOWED ONLY 33 INCIDENCES WITH ONE BURGLARY AND ZERO DRUG RELATED OFFENSES. 
          THE GROVE CITY SCENARIO IS A 684% HIGHER CRIME RATE. 
          THESE NUMBERS ARE SOBERING AND UNDERSCORE THE RISK OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT NEAR OUR HOMES. 
          FOR A MOMENT, I ASK YOU TO IMAGINE THE PROPOSED REZONING IN AN AREA THAT WERE NEXT TO YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          IS THIS SOMETHING YOU WOULD WANT TO THE PLACE NEXT TO THE PLACE YOU WOULD FIND YOUR SAFETY AND YOUR COMFORT? I URGE DUBLIN TO SLOW DOWN. 
          TRULY CONSIDER IF REZONING 
          [00:50:01]
THIS AREA TO INDUSTRIAL IS A DECISION, EXCUSE ME, IS A DECISION THAT PRIORITIZES SAFETY AND MAINTAINS THE INTEGRITY AND CHARACTER OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS, PLEASE CONSIDER ALTERNATIVES TO INDUSTRIAL ZONING THAT ALIGN WITH DUBLIN'S LEGACY OF THOUGHTFUL DEVELOPMENT. 
          OUR COMMUNITY IS BRIMMING WITH COMMITTED RESIDENTS, EAGER TO PARTNER WITH THE CITY, CITY COUNCIL TO RE-ENVISION DUBLIN'S FUTURE. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. 
          THANK YOU LINDSAY. 
          NEXT NAME, DR. MICHAEL LUTON. 
          WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME SHORT FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          HI, MY NAME'S DR. MICHAEL LOCKTON. 
          I LIVE AT 5 8 5 7 LER POLICE. 
          UH, FIRSTLY I WANT TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING. 
          UM, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY AND INCLUDING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AND, UM, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. 
          UM, SEEING ALL THE RED IN THE ROOM, I KIND OF FEEL LIKE WE MIGHT BE AT A GANG MEETING AND I FEEL REALLY BAD FOR THE GAL IN THE BLUE SHIRT . 
          UM, SO I'VE BEEN A BALANCE TRAY RESIDENT SINCE 2017. 
          MY WIFE ANN AND I ARE RAISING OUR THREE YOUNG CHILDREN THERE AND IT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          I ECHO THE SENTIMENTS OF SOMEONE WHO SPOKE EARLIER THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS SINCE WE'VE LIVED THERE THAT I'VE CONSIDERED MOVING, UH, SOMETHING I DON'T WANNA DO AT ALL. 
          UM, OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, I'VE ALSO BEEN A PRACTICING PHYSICIAN IN PRACTICE SERVING PATIENTS IN COLUMBUS, IN THE SURROUNDING SUBURBS. 
          UH, SPECIFICALLY I'M A BOARD CERTIFIED OTOLARYNGOLOGIST HEAD AND NECK SURGEON, ALSO KNOWN AS AN EAR, NOSE AND THROAT SURGEON, OR AN ENT. 
          I HAVE AN ACTIVE OHIO MEDICAL LICENSE IN GOODS STANDING AND I'M CURRENTLY CREDENTIALED AT MULTIPLE HOSPITALS INCLUDING DUBLIN METHODIST, UH, AND WITH MULTIPLE HEALTH SYSTEMS WITHIN COLUMBUS AND THE SURROUNDING SUBURBS. 
          AS AN ENTI REGULARLY TREAT ADULTS AND CHILDREN FOR HEARING LOSS AND OTHER RELATED CONDITIONS OF THE EARS, NOSE AND THROAT. 
          AND WITHOUT APPROPRIATELY PERFORMED NOISE STUDIES AND ASSOCIATED HEALTHCARE, UH, HEALTH RELATED DUE DILIGENCE, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLE AUDITORY INJURY AMONG OTHERS AND ASSOCIATED CHRONIC SEQUELA OR LONG-TERM SIDE EFFECTS TO THE ADULT AND THE PEDIATRIC POPULATION IN THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL AREAS, UH, IN PROXIMITY TO, UH, BUILDINGS SUCH AS DATA CENTERS, UH, MANUFACTURING, INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE, UH, OR OTHER SIMILAR FACILITIES. 
          AGAIN, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING AND FOR THE YOUNG GAL IN THE BLUE SHIRT, THERE'S AN OFFICER RIGHT THERE WHO CAN HELP YOU OUT TONIGHT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT NAME LINDSAY MARK MCNELIS. 
          WELCOME. 
          PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          I'M MARK MCNE, UH, 7 0 6 9 WINDROSE WAY. 
          UM, I AM A RETIRED NASA ENGINEER WITH AN EXPERTISE IN NOISE AND VIBRATION CONTROL, RECOGNIZED NATIONAL EXPERT IN THAT I HAVE REVIEWED SOME OF THE PUBLIC, PUBLIC NUISANCE REGULATIONS AND CITY NOISE ORDINANCES THAT YOU HAVE ON THE BOOKS TO DATE. 
          1 53 0.0 76. 
          LET ME READ A SHORT EXCERPT FROM THAT TO DESCRIBE WHAT'S CURRENTLY IN THERE. 
          UH, UNDER NOISE. 
          NOISE OR VIBRATION SHALL BE SO CONTROLLED THAT AT THE PROPERTY LINE ON WHICH SUCH NOISE OR VIBRATION IS PRODUCED IS WILL NOT BE AT A LEVEL ABOVE NORMALLY PERCEPTIBLE FROM OTHER DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA. 
          VERY VAGUE WITH NO REQUIREMENTS. 
          SO I WANT TO, I WANNA SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR PROVIDING THE INSIGHT IN YOUR NOISE SURVEYS YOU PLAN TO CONDUCT WITH THESE NEW DEVELOPMENTS YOU'LL BE MAKING IN THE, IN THE WIDE DISTRICT. 
          HOWEVER, WHAT'S MISSING IS REQUIREMENTS. 
          AND THOSE REQUIREMENTS ARE SPECIFICALLY DUE TO, UH, ADDRESSING COMMUNITY NOISE, SPECIFICALLY NOISE LEVELS AND NOISE DURATIONS. 
          BOTH ARE IMPORTANT. 
          AND I WILL, UH, JUST POINT OUT TO YOU SOME EXISTING EXAMPLES THAT ARE IN OTHER CITY ORDINANCES IN THIS AREA. 
          COLUMBUS, OHIO HAS CITY ORDINANCES THAT ARE VERY WELL DEFINED AS WELL AS FOR HILLIARD. 
          AND I'LL ADDRESS THE HILLIARD NOISE ORDINANCE HERE. 
          UH, THIS WAS ADOPTED IN 2003, SO THAT WAS DEVELOPED AND A, A ADOPTED BEFORE ANY CONSTRUCTION WAS DONE ON THE HILLIARD DATA CENTERS, WHICH WERE STARTED IN 2015. 
          SO WELL BEFORE ANY OF THESE, UH, CONSTRUCTIONS WERE STARTED. 
          [00:55:01]
SO WHAT THEY HAVE IS THREE SEPARATE TABLES AND THEY'RE VERY SPECIFIC AND THEY'RE VERY GOOD AT DETERMINING WHAT KIND OF LEVELS ARE ALLOWABLE AND DURATIONS ARE ALLOWABLE IN THEIR CITY IN DIFFERENT DISTRICTS. 
          THEY HAVE DISTRICTS, UH, REQUIREMENTS FOR RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND THEY HAVE DAYTIME REQUIREMENTS 60 DBA DURING THE DAY AND AT NIGHTTIME 60, UH, I'M SORRY, 50 DBA AT NIGHTTIME. 
          SO THOSE ARE SPECIFIC FOR RESIDENTIAL LIMITS. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT THEIR BUSINESS DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS, 65 DBA, THAT'S FOR ALL TIMES NIGHT OR DAY. 
          AND IF YOU LOOK AT THEIR INDUSTRIAL REQUIREMENTS, IT'S 70 DBA ALL TIMES OF THE DAY. 
          SO THESE ARE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE IN THE, THE CURRENT HILLIARD ORDINANCES. 
          IF YOU CONTINUE TO LOOK DOWN EVEN FURTHER, THEY TALK ABOUT CONTINUOUS SOUND LEVELS, WHICH POSE AN IMMEDIATE THREAT TO HEALTH AND WELFARE. 
          AND THOSE ARE THINGS THAT ARE RUNNING AT A CONTINUOUS TIME. 
          THOSE TIMES COULD BE DIFFERENT. 
          AGAIN, THIS IS DURATIONS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          SO IF YOU HAVE LONG DURATIONS OF CONTINUOUS NOISE, YOU CAN HAVE LOWER LEVELS AND NOT HAVE DAMAGE POTENTIAL. 
          IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S VERY HIGH IN LEVEL, YOU CAN DO THAT FOR LOWER DURATIONS AND THAT'LL KEEP THE DAMAGE POTENTIAL DOWN. 
          SO THOSE ARE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED, UH, IN, IN THE HILLIARD UH, ORDINANCE. 
          FINALLY, TABLE THREE TALKS ABOUT IMPULSIVE SOUND LEVELS. 
          IMPULSIVE SOUND LEVELS ARE THINGS THAT LOOK LIKE QUICK SHOCKS, QUICK IMPACTS THAT ARE VERY LOUD, BUT VERY SHORT AND DURATION. 
          SO YOU CAN HAVE A NUMBER OF REPETITIONS IN A CERTAIN, TO A CERTAIN LEVEL IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. 
          SO THESE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS, THE KIND OF SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE ON THE BOOKS IF YOU'RE GONNA DO A NOISE SURVEY TO, TO BASICALLY PUT AGAINST WHAT YOU'RE MEASURING. 
          YOU HAVE TO SOMETHING TO MEASURE IT TO. 
          SO IN CONCLUSION, THAT'S KIND OF MY DISCUSSION ON CONTIN ON ON COMMUNITY NOISE, BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE CROWD, WE'VE SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, UM, LOOKING AT THE NEW ALBANY STRATEGIC PLAN. 
          I KNOW. 
          OKAY, I, SO THE FINAL THING IS I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT THE NEW ALBANY INDUSTRIAL PARK, WHICH IS ON JUG STREET AND BEE STREET AND SEE WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO. 
          IT'S A VERY UNSIGHTLY AREA WE DROVE THIS MORNING. 
          UH, AND THEN FINALLY, LIKE ALSO MENTIONED, IF YOU WANNA LOOK AT A 12 FOOT BERM ASSOCIATED WITH A DATA CENTER, LOOK AT LAND, UH, LEOPARD ROAD IN HILLARD, OHIO, AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT A 12 FOOT BURN DOES FOR YOU, WHICH IS NOTHING. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S MY COMMENT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU LINDSEY. 
          NEXT NAME, RICHARD WEEKS. 
          WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          UH, MY NAME'S RICHARD WEEKS. 
          I LIVE AT 5 8 2 6 HOCHER ROAD IN DUBLIN. 
          AND, UH, FIRST OFF, MR. RAINER, I NOTICED THAT YOU SALUTE WHEN YOU DO THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. 
          I SUSPECT YOUR BACKGROUND IS MILITARY AND I WANNA THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND I WANNA THANK EVERYBODY UP THERE FOR THEIR SERVICE. 
          UH, I USED TO LIVE IN, UH, ENTRE ON, UH, BARENS COURT WAY FOR ABOUT 11 YEARS AND THEN DOWNSIZED TO A HOUSE WE BUILT, UH, ON HOCHI ROAD. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS I DIDN'T REALIZE IS THAT I HAD TO HAVE A, WELL, SO THE, THE, UH, DEVELOPER GOT A HOLD OF SOMEONE, HAD 'EM DIG THE WELL FIND, UH, COME SPRINGTIME, UH, SUMMER I START PUTTING IN A, UH, LAWN. 
          AND GUESS WHAT? I CAN OPERATE ONE SPRINKLER AT A TIME BECAUSE THE WATER KEPT DROPPING DOWN AND I COULDN'T PUMP ENOUGH WATER. 
          I WOULD CAVITATE. 
          SO I DUG A SECOND. 
          WELL, UH, THAT WAS NOT CHEAP. 
          I GOT 32, UH, GALLONS PER MINUTE. 
          EVERYTHING WAS GREAT. 
          BUT THEN I STARTED, UH, THE SITUATION HERE. 
          I GET CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO MY WELL AND THE WELLS OF EVERYBODY IN BALLANT TREE. 
          'CAUSE THAT'S, I MEAN, UH, UH, HOARD 'CAUSE THAT'S ALL WE HAVE AVAILABLE. 
          AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT CONTAMINATION. 
          I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE WATER BEING DRAWN DOWN BY COMPANIES THAT USE AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF WATER IN THEIR PRODUCTION. 
          I AM ASSUMING, I'M HOPING THAT THEY GET THEIR WATER FROM DUBLIN AND THAT THEY'RE NOT DIGGING WELLS, BECAUSE THAT COULD BE KIND OF DISASTROUS FOR US. 
          AND THAT BRINGS US TO MY MAIN CONCERNS, UH, WAS WHERE WILL THEY GET THEIR WATER? 
          [01:00:01]
AND YOU'RE SHAKING YOUR HEAD, SO I'M ASSUMING THAT MEANS IT COMES FROM YOU GUYS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, THEN WE HAVE DRAINAGE. 
          THE DRAINAGE, UH, IN THE WHOLE AREA AROUND OUR, UH, COMMUNITY IS VERY, VERY POOR. 
          I MEAN, IT TAKES DAYS FOR LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER TO MOVE FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER. 
          IS THAT COVERED UNDER ALL OF THE BUILDINGS THAT WOULD COME IN, THE COMPANIES THAT PROVIDE SERVICES? ARE THEY ALL, UM, PROVIDING THE RIGHT DRAINAGE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE A TON OF POOLING WATER AND THINGS LIKE THAT? UH, THAT'S A BIG CONCERN THAT I HAVE. 
          UM, ANOTHER CONCERN IS SEWAGE CONTROL. 
          THE SAME ISSUE BASED ON THE DRAINAGE, THE LAY OF THE LAND. 
          HOW IS THE SEWAGE GOING TO BE CONTROLLED? WHAT IS THE SEWAGE, UH, PROPOSALS? DOES EACH COMPANY HAVE TO PROVIDE THEIR OWN OR IS THAT WORKED OUT BY UH, DUBLIN ITSELF? AND ARE THERE CODES FOR THAT? I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING IN WRITING THAT SAYS WHAT THEY REQUIRE. 
          AND FINALLY, THAT BRINGS US TO THE ONE THING THAT I REALLY HAVE A CONCERN WITH IS, UH, AIR POLLUTION AND MANUFACTURING, FUSE DIESEL EXHAUST, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          AND WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE'S A FIRE. 
          NOW I LOOKED UP AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A PLACE IN, UH, MOSES, UH, CALIFORNIA. 
          THEY HAD A BATTERY FIRE. 
          IT LASTED FIVE DAYS. 
          THEY EVACUATED 2000 PEOPLE FROM THE AREA. 
          AND RIGHT NOW THEY'RE CLEANUP. 
          THEY'RE NOT SURE WHEN THEY'RE GONNA GET IT ALL CLEANED UP. 
          SO THAT'S A MAJOR DISASTER. 
          AM I RIGHT OUTTA TIME? OKAY. 
          OH GOOD. 
          AND JUST FOR THE FOLKS IN BALLANT TRAY, YOU'RE DOWNWIND OF THAT WHOLE AREA. 
          . 
          OKAY. 
          SO I THINK YOU WANT, I THINK YOU WANNA MAKE SURE WHAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO WITH THAT TIME'S UP, APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU LINDSAY. 
          NEXT, JAMES MARTINSON. 
          WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          MY NAME IS JIM MARTINSON. 
          I RESIDE AT 7 0 7 4 CORMAC WAY. 
          I'D LIKE TO START OUT WITH A POSITIVE BY REFERENCING MEGAN MCC CALLAHAN'S, UH, MEMO, WHICH, UH, RECOMMENDS CONTINUING THE PUBLIC HEARING ON AUGUST 11TH. 
          UH, THE MEMO DOES RECOGNIZE SOME OF THE RESIDENTS CONCERNS SUCH AS DATA CENTERS, AS YOU MENTIONED EARLIER, UH, ENERGY PLANT LIMITS, COMMUNITY COLLABORATION, WHICH IS KEY MOVING FORWARD. 
          AND I LOOK FORWARD TO DOING SO. 
          UM, ONGOING CHALLENGING CHALLENGES REMAIN HOWEVER MANY OF THE ID THREE INDUSTRIES ARE PRIME EXAMPLES OF, UH, UNDESIRABLE OUTCOMES AS EVIDENCED AT NUMEROUS NEARBY COMMUNITY INNOVATION OR BUSINESS PARKS, WHATEVER WE WANT TO CALL THEM. 
          UH, CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS NEED PRECISE LANGUAGE STRAIN ON WATER RESOURCES, ESPECIALLY FOR HVAC COOLING ARE A CONCERN. 
          THE WATER TREATMENT FACILITY ON HOME ROAD IN DELAWARE, UH, WILL SUPPORT NEW ALBANY'S INTEL PLANT. 
          DOES DUBLIN HAVE WATER RECYCLING PLANS AS WELL? A TYPICAL DATA CENTER USES 18,000 GALLONS OF WATER PER DAY, OR THE EQUIVALENT OF ROUGHLY 66 HOUSEHOLDS, A HYPERSCALE DATA CENTER. 
          THINK AWS, UH, HAS BEEN SHOWN TO USE 500,000 GALLONS PER DAY EQUIVALENT TO 1,800 HOUSEHOLDS. 
          DOES DUBLIN HAVE ANY STUDIES INDICATING HOW MANY DATA CENTERS CAN FIT IN THE SAME AREA COMPARED TO HOW MANY HOMES WERE ORIGINALLY PROPOSED? AS IT TURNS OUT, THE INDUSTRIAL WATER SOLUTIONS CONFERENCE IS IN COLUMBUS, OHIO THIS WEEK WITH AN EMPHASIS ON REUSING WATER FOR DATA CENTERS AND UNDERSCORING LOCAL MANDATE NEEDS. 
          THE ESTIMATED TOTAL POWER DRAW FROM MAJOR DATA CENTERS IN CENTRAL OHIO EXCEEDS 884 MEGAWATTS. 
          BY COMPARISON, THE CITY OF COLUMBUS REACHES A SUMMER PEAK LOAD OF APPROXIMATELY 2,200 MEGAWATTS. 
          WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT A HANDFUL OF DATA CENTERS ALONE CONSUMES ROUGHLY 40% OF COLUMBUS'S PEAK POWER DEMAND, VERIFIED, PLACING A STRAIN ON LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND GRID CAPACITY. 
          ADDITIONAL 
          [01:05:01]
BUSINESS CATEGORIES OF HIGH CONCERN, SPECIFICALLY UNDER THE LABEL OF R AND D OR RESEARCH LABS, BIOMEDICAL AND RESEARCH LABS, DEALING WITH, UH, BIOHAZARDOUS MATERIALS, EG UH, PATHOGENS, CHEMICALS GAIN OF FUNCTION RESEARCH REQUIRING STRICT WASTE, DEPO, WASTE DISPOSAL, AND HVAC SYSTEMS, CHEMICAL RESEARCH LABS USING VOLATILE CHEMICALS, POSING RISKS OF SPILLS, EMISSIONS OR EXPLOSIONS. 
          A SPILL COULD REPLICATE EAST PALESTINE'S CONTAMINATION OF SOIL AND WATER. 
          PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURING LABS PRODUCE BYPRODUCT WITH ASSOCIATED RISK AND POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMENTAL HARM, AGAIN, SIMILAR TO EAST PALESTINE. 
          IN CONCLUSION, CONSIDER A DATA CENTER BAN ALTOGETHER, ADDITIONAL ID THREE REVISIONS OR TOTAL ELIMINATION EXCLUSION OF HIGH RISK RESEARCH LABS OR R AND D LOGISTIC CENTERS, AND ENHANCE AUTHENTIC STANDARDS TO PREVENT, UH, UNDESIRABLE OUTCOMES AND AVOID EAST PALESTINE LIKE RISKS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, LINDSEY. 
          NEXT, TODD HEMER, WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          MY NAME IS TODD HEMER. 
          I LIVE ON 58 24 HOARD ROAD. 
          AND FIRST, I'D LIKE TO THANK DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF FOR REVIEWING THE WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP PRESENTATION ON JUNE 11TH. 
          THE PRESENTATION REPRESENTS SEVERAL WEEKS OF COLLABORATION WITH HUARD ROAD RESIDENTS AND BATTLE TRAIN RESIDENTS. 
          TO REALLY SUMMARIZE IT, WE, WE REALLY WANTED TO, UH, EMPHASIZE, UH, SUMMARIZE HOW WE WOULD LIKE TO RE-ENVISION DUBLIN'S WID STRESSING THE RE-ENVISION PORTION. 
          HONESTLY, THE RESIDENTS TRULY WANT THE LAND TO BE LEFT THE WAY IT IS. 
          FARMLAND AND GREEN SPACE CAN NEVER BE RECLAIMED, AND IT'S TRULY A LEGACY TO BE PROUD OF. 
          WE DON'T UNDERSTAND, UH, LIKE WE DO UNDERSTAND THIS IS UNLIKELY. 
          PEOPLE WERE EXPECTING A SEMI-RURAL TRANSITION OF TWO TO THREE ACRE PLOTS WITH A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR HOMES, NOT INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES, WAREHOUSES, POWER PLANTS, AND DATA CENTERS. 
          IT WAS STATED AT THE WORKING SESSION ON JUNE 16TH THAT THIS IS SURELY IT SHOULD BE NICE TO HAVE MULTIMILLION DOLLAR HOUSES THERE. 
          WE HAVE NOT SEEN EVIDENCE THAT RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WILL NOT WORK ON THE 3,370 ACRES. 
          THE IDEA OF RESIDENTS ON HUARD ROAD NEEDING TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT WE'RE BEING SACRIFICED FOR THE GREATER GOOD IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE. 
          WHEN WE CONSULT WITH JANE FOX, OUR WARD REPRESENTATIVE, TO GAIN ADVICE ON HOW THE RESIDENTS SHOULD MOVE FORWARD, HER ADVICE WAS TO FOCUS ON THE CODE. 
          THE PRESENTATION ON JUNE 11TH AT WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP LAID OUT MANY ISSUES WITH THE CODE AND UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES, CONSEQUENCES ALONG WITH IDEAS, PROPOSALS TO REVISE THE CODE. 
          WE WERE HAPPY TO SEE THAT STAFF RECOGNIZED SOME OF THE SHORTCOMINGS WITH THE CODE, BUT MANY RESIDENTS WERE DISAPPOINTED AND SURPRISED THAT STAFF DID NOT MAKE, DID NOT RECOMMEND MORE USES TO BE REMOVED FROM THE REZONING AND REMOVAL OF ID THREE ALTOGETHER FROM THE PROPOSAL ID THREE IS BASICALLY AN EXTENSION OF INDUSTRIAL PARKWAY AND DUBLIN COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE STATED THAT'S NOT WHAT DUBLIN IS ABOUT. 
          AND THAT'S NOT, DOESN'T MAKE SENSE ECONOMICALLY, BUT THE CODE ALLOWS IT, IT COULD BE BUILT AND IN SOME CASES COULD NOT BE STOPPED. 
          THE STAFF DID ENGAGE WITH AWS ON THE NOISE CONCERNS AND THE MEASURES MEASUREMENTS WERE TAKEN, AND OF COURSE, IT MET THE CURRENT NUISANCE CODE. 
          THAT'S EXACTLY THE PROBLEM. 
          THE CODE ISN'T STRONG ENOUGH AND NEEDS TO BE REWRITTEN. 
          WE GAVE EXAMPLES OF VIRGINIA'S DB LEVELS AND ENERGY MEASUREMENT METHODS. 
          THE CODE SAYS CLEAN MANUFACTURING ASSEMBLY IS ALLOWED. 
          HOW DO YOU MEASURE CLEAN? I'VE WORKED AT HONDA R AND D FOR 27 YEARS. 
          I'M CURRENTLY THE CHIEF ENGINEER IN CHARGE OF THE ALL NEW 2026 HONDA PASSPORT. 
          AND BASED ON MY EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE WITH MANUFACTURING ASSEMBLY, I HAVE STATED SEVERAL TIMES DUBLIN DOES NOT UNDERSTAND MANUFACTURING AND WILL FOREVER CHANGE DUBLIN'S IMAGE AND REPUTATION. 
          THE CONDITION OR USE LANGUAGE IN THE CODE IS VERY SUBJECTIVE. 
          WITHOUT CLEARLY DEFINED METRICS TO MEASURE AGAINST, THE RESIDENTS WILL NEED TO WATCH EVERY WEEK THE DUBLIN WEBSITE AND ATTEND THE P AND Z MEETINGS TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT GETTING SLIPPED IN. 
          MICKEY, THE TROUBLE WE ARE HAVING CURRENTLY IS A, IS A FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE, CAUSING UNNEEDED FEAR, STRESS, AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. 
          HONESTLY, STAFF AND RESIDENTS ARE TALKING AT EACH OTHER. 
          WE NEED TO SCHEDULE REOCCURRING MEETINGS TO DIVE INTO EACH CONCERN, USE CASE CODE IMPROVEMENTS, AND EVEN THE LAND USE PLAN ALTOGETHER. 
          WE LAID OUT A FRAMEWORK ON JUNE 11TH TO MAKE THIS MEANINGFUL DISCUSSION WITH CRITERIA TO DISCUSS THE PROS AND CONS AND RISK AND REWARD WITH THE NEXT READING ON ON THE 11TH. 
          WE NEED TO HAVE A CLEAR PLAN. 
          WE HAVE NOT ASKED FOR MONTHS TO HAVE FORM WORKING GROUPS AND A SEAT AT THE TABLE TO HAVE TRANSPARENCY WITH THE DATA AND OPEN COLLABORATION SO THAT TOGETHER WE CAN RE-ENVISION THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT. 
          AS I WALK INTO DUBLIN CITY HALL, THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL MODEL OF THE REVITALIZATION EFFORT FOR THE METRO CENTER, 
          [01:10:01]
WHICH WAS LED BY WORLD CLASS TEAM OF CONSULTANTS, INCLUDING SASAKI SUN AS A DESIGN FIRM, SPECIALIZE IN URBAN DESIGN. 
          I POINT TO THIS 'CAUSE IT MAKES SENSE. 
          THERE'S A PLAN THAT WORKS WITH THE ENVISION DOUBLING COMMUNITY PLAN. 
          WID IS A CONCEPT, NOT A PLAN. 
          IN FACT, THE FEBRUARY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING, MR. ALEXANDER NOTED THAT THE PERMITTED USES OF WIT PROMOTED A VARIETY OF BUILDING TYPES AND MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE. 
          HE ASKED THE DEFINITION OF THE WTU RESEARCH FLEX AND FROM THE CITY DETERMINED THAT HE THINKS THAT THIS PROPERTY WILL BE A GENERAL PLANNING STANDARD. 
          AFTER MS. RAUCH OFFERED A RESPONSE, MR. ALEXANDER STATED TO YOUR CONCLUSION, PLEASE, MR. STATED, THE QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED AND THE DEFINITIONS WERE INTERNAL IDEAS, AND THAT WOULD WORK FOR THE AREA OPPOSED TO THE ACTUAL PLANNING STANDARDS. 
          CURRENTLY, THE CODE DOES NOT SUPPORT THE ENVISIONED DUBLIN COMMUNITY PLAN OF WID. 
          WITH LIVE, WORK AND PLAY AND LEARN, WE NEED TO GO BACK TO WHAT'S ALWAYS WORKED FOR DUBLIN, WHICH IS GREAT PLANNING. 
          FIRST WITH A TRUE PROPOSAL BEING REVIEWED, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL SEND IT BACK TO PLANNING AND ZONING AND RESTART. 
          WE WANNA WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE A PLAN THAT ALLOWS DUBLIN TO BE A GREAT CITY FOR ALL RESIDENTS BY WORKING WITH THE ENVISION STRATEGY AND NOT IGNORING THE TRUE VISION OF DUBLIN. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU, LINDSAY. 
          NEXT, ELIZABETH VE WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          LIZ LOVEL, 57 53 BONNELLY COURT. 
          I'LL BE BRIEF. 
          EVERYBODY'S SAID EVERYTHING I'VE SAID, AND I ALSO SENT IT IN ON, UM, HARD COPY OR, UH, EMAIL TO YOU. 
          BUT I DID HAVE A QUESTION AND AND YOU ACTUALLY BROUGHT IT UP, ZACH, AND THANK YOU. 
          YOU SO IN THE MEMO DATED SIX 18 OF CITY COUNCIL, IT'S THIS, THESE ARE THE WORDS IN THE WILL ALLOW DUBLIN TO CREATE A DYNAMIC DISTRICT THAT IS ALIVE 24 7 AND PROVIDE VARIED OPTIONS FOR DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES. 
          MY QUESTION IS, WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? WHO WANTS 24 7? I DON'T THINK ANY OF US THAT LIVE OUT THERE DO. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW ANYWHERE IN DUBLIN THAT'S 24 7 EXCEPT THE HOSPITALS. 
          AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION WAS IN THAT SAME, UM, INFORMATION, THERE'S A PARAGRAPH THAT DISCUSSES HOW YOU WOULD, UM, CHANGE AND ANZAC DID ADDRESS THIS, THE DOCK, THE BAYS AND THE GARAGE DOORS. 
          THAT'S SEMIS. 
          ANYBODY THAT LIVES IN A MILLION DOLLAR HOME MOUNTAIN BALANCE TRAY DOESN'T WANT SEMIS DRIVING DOWN 24 7. 
          UM, AND THEN ONE THING THAT CAME UP IN THE LAST MEETING, AND I THINK THIS WAS BROUGHT UP BY OUR CITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE FOR OUR AREA, THEY SAID THAT DUBLIN WILL DO THE RIGHT THING. 
          AND I REALLY BELIEVE THAT MOST OF THE TIME, HOWEVER, UM, ONE OF THE PROMISES IT HASN'T BEEN KEPT. 
          HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE TURKEY HILL? THERE'S NOTHING THAT OBSCURES THE VIEW. 
          IT'S NOTHING BUT WEEDS. 
          THE TREES ARE DYING AND IT ISN'T KEPT UP. 
          THAT WAS PROPOSED BY DUBLIN, ALLOWED BY DUBLIN, AND IT LOOKS TERRIBLE. 
          THAT'S ALL I HAVE. 
          THANKS. 
          THANK YOU, LINDSEY. 
          NEXT, KATHY BAUMERT. 
          WELCOME. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          OKAY, WHERE'S THE BUTTON? HERE. 
          OH, YOU GOT IT. 
          YOU'RE ON. 
          IT'S LIT UP GREEN. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          MY NAME IS KATHY BALMER. 
          I LIVE AT 5 8 6 0 HOCHER ROAD. 
          WE BUILT OUR HOUSE 35 YEARS AGO. 
          WE CAME WITH SEVEN CHILDREN, EIGHT 17 TO ONE YEAR AND TWO DAY TWO WEEKS OLD WITH ALL OF OUR WONDERFUL HOCHER NEIGHBORS. 
          IT IS A, IT HAS BEEN IDYLLIC, I THINK DUBLIN COUNCIL AND WHOEVER HAS MADE PLANS FOR REZONING. 
          REZONING HAS REALLY MISSED THE MARK BY TRYING TO MAKE DUBLIN INTO SOMETHING IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE. 
          DUBLIN WAS NAMED DUBLIN, HEARKENING TO DUBLIN, IRELAND. 
          THE NAMESAKE, THE TERRAIN WAS VERY SIMILAR. 
          LUSH GREEN AREAS, A RIVER STONES FOR BUILDINGS AND STONEWALL, REMINISCENT OF IRELAND. 
          DRIVE TO THE INTERSECTION OF 1 61 AND MAIN STREET IN DOWNTOWN DUBLIN. 
          ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER, THERE IS A, UH, A BUILDING LOOKING EXACTLY THE SAME WAY IT LOOKED IN THE OLDEST PICTURES YOU CAN FIND OF DUBLIN. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR IT GOES BACK, BUT IT HAS BEEN THERE FOREVER. 
          I THINK IT'S A PIZZA PLACE NOW. 
          I THINK. 
          UM, THE BRIDGE. 
          OKAY, WELL, LET'S SEE. 
          GOING, UH, NORTH ON MAIN STREET IS THE REVITALIZATION OF DUBLIN DOWNTOWN. 
          THE BRIDGE IS AMAZING. 
          THE PROJECT GOT AN A PLUS. 
          YOU HAVE BROUGHT THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER. 
          IT'S RESTAURANTS OR DESTINATION PLACES. 
          THE BARS ARE LIKE PUBS. 
          PEOPLE COME 
          [01:15:01]
THERE, YOU MEET WITH YOUR FRIENDS. 
          IT'S A WONDERFUL IDEA. 
          BUT HOW DOES THE NEW PROJECT OF REZONING AND SURROUNDING AND SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL AREAS WITH TWO BE DETERMINED? INDUSTRIALS IMPROVE DUBLIN. 
          EVERY COUNCIL MEMBER HOPEFULLY HEARD OR READ TODD. 
          TODD HAMMER'S PRESENTATION TO WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP. 
          TODD DID. 
          TODD DID A DEEP DIVE INTO VERY SIMILAR COMMUNITIES AND FOUND MANY OF THE PROPOSALS WHEN ENACTED, UH, WERE NEGATIVE. 
          THE RESULTS WERE NEGATIVE. 
          RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND INDUSTRIES ARE NOT IDEAL NEIGHBORS, AT LEAST RESIDENTIALS. 
          MANY OF OUR CON CONCERNS HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN ADDRESSED. 
          TRAFFIC, NOISE, ROADS, REBUILDING AND RELOCATING. 
          ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS, LOSING HOUSE VALUES, POSSIBLE UPTICK IN CRIME. 
          NONE OF THE CURRENT CONCERNS HAVE BEEN EARNESTLY ADDRESSED IN MY OPINION. 
          WE HAVE HEARD MORE THAN ONCE. 
          TRUST ME, FROM COUNCIL. 
          WE HAVE NEVER SEEN STUDIES. 
          COUNCILS HAVE REFERRED TO THIS. 
          AND THE WAY THIS HAS BEEN TRIED TO BE PUSHED THROUGH WITHOUT NOTIFICATION, DOES NOT BREED TRUST. 
          EVEN NEW NOW, COUNCIL THINKS WE ARE, THEY ARE ADDRESSING OUR CONCERNS WITH SOME MINOR CHANGE, WHAT I CONSIDER MINOR CHANGES AND STILL LEAVE THE RESIDENTIAL AREA SURROUNDED. 
          IT IS A VERY FLAWED PLAN FROM THE START. 
          IN THE PAST, DUBLIN HAS BEEN THE STANDARD OF WHAT A WELL-DEVELOPED CITY SHOULD BE. 
          IT SEEMS COUNT COUNCIL AND DUBLIN DEVELOPERS SEEM TO WANT TO BECOME LIKE OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES INSTEAD OF STAYING TRUE TO DUBLIN COMMUNITY WHO LOVE DUBLIN FOR ITS VITALITY, ITS SAFETY, ITS RESPECT FOR OUR ROOTS AND RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE OF DUBLIN. 
          I DON'T FEEL RESPECTED BY THIS REZONING PLANT. 
          I LIVE ON HOO ROAD. 
          I DO NOT FEEL, UH, AND AND BALANCE TREE. 
          SAME THING. 
          I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS, UM, THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK. 
          UM, WHY DOES DUBLIN NEED THIS REZONING PLAN? WHAT'S TO BE GAINED? AND A SECONDARY QUESTION, WHAT IS THE, THE BENEFIT TO THE CITY OF DUBLIN VERSUS THE DUBLIN COMMUNITY? I HAVE NOT HEARD THIS ADDRESSED. 
          EVERYBODY HERE IS PRO PROGRESS. 
          THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM. 
          OKAY. 
          PROGRESS SHOULD ENHANCE NOT HARM. 
          THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK. 
          THANK YOU LINDSAY. 
          NEXT I HAVE THREE COMMENTS THAT WERE SUBMITTED ONLINE. 
          UH, DHARMA WINDAU 6 7 1 8 DUN HEATH CIRCLE. 
          WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT REZONING NINE PARCELS DUE TO NUMBER ONE, POTENTIAL LIGHT NOISE AND HEAT POLLUTION. 
          NUMBER TWO, POTENTIAL POWER SUPPLY AND ELECTRICITY GRID ISSUES. 
          NUMBER THREE, LACK OF COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPARENCY IN THE DUE PROCESS BY THE CITY COUNCIL. 
          THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. 
          CORY SHIN, A DUBLIN RESIDENT LIVING AT 58, 1, UH, 16 TRAFALGAR LANE IN ENTRE. 
          MY PROPERTY BACKS UP TO COS GRAY ROAD AND WOULD BE DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE PROPOSED REZONED WHI AREA. 
          AS PART OF THIS COMMUNITY, I AM WRITING TO EXPRESS MY OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED REZONING OF WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT ORDINANCE ZERO SIX DASH 25 FROM OUR RURAL TO ID TWO AND ID THREE. 
          MY OPPOSITION IS BASED ON THESE POTENTIAL PROBABLE NEGATIVE EFFECTS, THE LOSS OF NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY, CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY, A DEGREE, A DECREASE IN THE MARKET VALUE OF MY HOUSE, INCREASED TRAFFIC, CONGESTION, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENTAL LIGHTING, NOISE, HAZARDOUS FUMES, COMMUNICATIONS, LACK OF TRANSPARENCY FROM HOA AND WITHIN COUNCIL, PERMITTED AND CONDITIONAL USE THAT NEED TO BE DEFINED AND NOT AMBIGUOUS. 
          WOULD YOU WANT THIS BEHIND YOUR HOME? WOULD YOU WANT TO HEAR THE NOISE IN YOUR BACKYARD? WOULD YOU WANT YOUR KIDS OR GRANDKIDS NEAR THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT WHERE YOU'VE BUILT A HOME, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY? MOST REASONABLE PEOPLE WOULD SAY NO. 
          PLEASE DO NOT REZONE THIS SITE TO ID TWO OR ID THREE. 
          RESPECTFULLY CORY. 
          AND THE THIRD AND FINAL COMMENT IS FROM JULIE HETRICK 69 95 BALANCE TRAY LOOP. 
          PLEASE TABLE ACTIONS ON THIS MATTER UNTIL THE AUGUST 11TH MEETING. 
          VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. 
          OKAY, 
          [01:20:01]
BEFORE WE DELI, UM, GET TO OUR DELIBERATIONS, WAS THERE, UH, ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE COMMENT? SIR, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          IT'S ON. 
          YOU JUST TURNED IT OFF. 
          CHRIS BROWN IT. 
          THERE YOU GO. 
          NOPE, BROWN. 
          TURN IT, TURN IT OFF AGAIN. 
          I'M TALENTED. 
          CHRIS BROWN, 67 20 STONE CIRCLE WAY. 
          UH, I, TWO WEEKS AGO ELECTED THE PRESIDENT OVER THE HOA FOR LAKES OF ENTRE. 
          SO OF COURSE MY PHONE RANG OFF THE HOOK WITH THIS. 
          UH, I KNOW FIVE OF YOU HAVE BEEN LONG TIME STALWART DEFENDERS OF DUBLIN STANDARDS. 
          UM, I DON'T ALWAYS FEEL LIKE THE SOUTHWEST CORNER MEETS THOSE STANDARDS. 
          SHIRE RINGS ISN'T NECESSARILY PRETTY. 
          A LOT OF THE TREES WERE PUT IN A LITTLE CROOKED. 
          UH, FOR THE FIRST 500 FEET, IT'S GRANDFATHERED IN, BUT THERE'S VERY LITTLE SCREENING IN THAT AREA. 
          THERE'S BEEN A LONG TIME PLAN TO DO NORTH OF SHIRE RINGS ROAD WITH ID TWO. 
          I GET THAT RESEARCH UNIVERSITY MAKES SENSE. 
          THIS HAS NOW DROPPED SOUTH OF THERE. 
          ONE OF THE STAFF'S REASONINGS I SAW WAS THAT NOBODY WANTS RESIDENTS WITHIN, YOU KNOW, A FEW HUNDRED FEET OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS. 
          SO BETWEEN CHURCHMAN ROAD AND THE RAILROAD TRACKS NEAR AMLIN THERE, THERE ARE 184 HOMES THAT ARE 500 TO $700,000. 
          IT WAS SUCCESSFUL. 
          WHY CAN'T THAT GO ACROSS CRA? IT SHOULD BE RESIDENTIAL UP TO AT LEAST DAIRY FIELDS. 
          STICK WITH THAT CORNER. 
          GO NORTH TO IMAN, THE WHOLE UNIVERSITY DISTRICT, THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT. 
          THAT'S FINE FOR DEVELOPMENT, THAT'S FINE FOR RESEARCH. 
          THAT'S FINE FOR EVEN LIGHT INDUSTRY, BUT LET'S, LET'S KEEP THINGS SEGMENTED WHERE THEY SHOULD BE. 
          SO THAT'S ALL I REALLY NEED TO SAY. 
          THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY OTHERS? YES, PLEASE COME FORWARD. 
          STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          UH, TIM. 
          UH, TIM MYERS. 
          I LIVE AT 58 84, UH, GLEN DAVEN COURT. 
          UM, I HAVE A SUGGESTION, MAYBE AN ALTERNATE THOUGHT ON W OR WID THREE. 
          SO I NOTICED THERE'S SOME LAND EAST OF 2 57 ACROSS FROM MUIRFIELD VILLAGE. 
          YOU COULD REZONE THAT AS ID THREE . 
          'CAUSE BECAUSE NONE OF YOU LIVE IN ENTRE, THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN EAST OF 2 57, BUT IT'S OKAY TO DO IT OFF OF COS GRAY. 
          SO I THINK NOW'S A CHANCE, AS MR. RENNER SAID EARLIER ON APRIL 7TH, WE GENERALLY DO THE RIGHT THING. 
          I THINK WE'RE ALL LOOKING AT YOU AND ASKING OURSELVES, ARE YOU GONNA DO THE RIGHT THING? OR IS THE PERCEPTION THAT IT'S REALLY ABOUT DEVELOPING EVERY PIECE OF LAND WE CAN FOR THE REVENUE. 
          SO THE CHOICE IS YOURS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHERS? GOOD EVENING. 
          MY NAME IS JOE BLACK. 
          I HAVE NO NOTES HERE, SO I'LL I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU FROM THE HEART. 
          UH, I'M AT 59 20 TRAFALGAR LANE. 
          THIS IS THE THIRD HOME THAT I BUILT, UH, IN THE BALANCE TRAY AREA. 
          LOVED THE COMMUNITY. 
          I INITIALLY SOLD MY HOME IN BALANCE TRAY, MOVED OUT IN A CONDO AND SAID, LOOKED ALL AROUND COLUMBUS AND SAID, WHERE DO I NEED TO RAISE MY FAMILY? AND IT WAS BACK IN BALLANT TREE. 
          SO THE REASON WHY I BRING THIS UP IS RIGHT NOW, 59 20 TRAFALGAR LANE BEHIND ME ARE NEW HOMES THAT ARE GOING IN, WHICH ARE PROBABLY, I THINK MAYBE $950,000 A HOME, WHATEVER THE IT ENDS UP BEING, THAT IS A LOT OF TAX REVENUE THAT WILL BE GENERATED FOR DUBLIN, WHICH IS GREAT. 
          SO I HAD WOODS BEHIND ME. 
          NOW THEY'RE ALL HOMES. 
          SO I ASK YOU IN PLACE, THOSE ARE HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN DECIDED THEY'RE GOING TO BE BUILT HERE IN, UH, THE DUBLIN AREA. 
          GREAT, FANTASTIC. 
          LOOK AT THAT AS A REVENUE COMPARED TO THE NEW DEVELOPMENT, THE I TWO I THREE OR WHATEVER. 
          IT, TO MY UNDERSTANDING, THE LAST MEETING, IT DOESN'T GENERATE A LOT OF REVENUE. 
          SO THAT PARTICULAR PARCEL WILL GENERATE REVENUE. 
          SO AGAIN, THANK EVERYONE IS HERE IN RED IN TERMS OF OPPOSING THE REZONING. 
          SO I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          [01:25:06]
IF YOU WOULD PLEASE, UH, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. 
          UH, KATHY BUTLER, 59 65 ROUNDSTONE PLACE HERE IN DUBLIN IN BALLANT. 
          AND, UH, THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING TO US. 
          I KNOW IT'S BEEN A, A LONG EVENING, BUT, UH, IT'S BEEN A LOT OF TIME FOR ALL OF US TOO, TO TALK AND I WAS NOT PLANNING ON SPEAKING, SO I'M VERY SORRY. 
          I'M JUST, I'M JUST DOING AN EMOTIONAL SPEAKING RIGHT NOW. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT I'VE LISTENED TO ALL OF THESE PEOPLE AND I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE SO RIGHT ON EVERYTHING THEY'VE SAID. 
          AND I'VE LEARNED THINGS THAT I DID NOT KNOW BEFORE TONIGHT. 
          AND I THANK THOSE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT UP THAT INFORMATION. 
          BUT I'M NOT ONLY A RESIDENT OF BALL ANDRE AND A RESIDENT OF DUBLIN AND A TAXPAYER OF DUBLIN. 
          NO MATTER WHAT PART OF DUBLIN I LIVE IN, I PAY THE SAME TAX FOR MY PROPERTY THAT ANYBODY ELSE PAYS FOR WHEREVER YOU LIVE IN DUBLIN. 
          SO AS A REALTOR, NOT AN APPRAISER. 
          SO I DON'T GET MYSELF IN TROUBLE. 
          I HAVE, I DON'T NEED STATS TO TELL ME THAT WHEN I GO TO LIST A HOUSE, SELL A HOUSE, OR TAKE A BUYER TO A HOUSE. 
          IF THAT HOUSE IS SURROUNDED BY LIGHT PROPERTIES, IT'S SURROUNDED BY EITHER THE SAME HOMES IN THE SAME CONDITIONS, WHICH ARE SEVENTY FIVE, SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY, WELL, PROBABLY FIVE 50, I'M SORRY, UP TO A MILLION PLUS IN BALANCE RATE. 
          IF YOU HAVE THAT AROUND YOU, YOUR PROPERTY VALUE NOT ONLY HOLDS, IT DOES LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, IT HAS INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY IN THE LAST YEARS WHEN YOU BACK UP TO AN INDUSTRIAL AREA WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU ALL ARE TALKING ABOUT, EACH ONE OF YOU DOES NOT NEED STATS TO TELL YOU YOU'RE NOT GONNA PICK THAT HOUSE. 
          WHEN YOU CAN PICK A HOUSE THAT IS SURROUNDED BY EITHER OPEN SPACE OR BY ANOTHER HOUSING RESIDENTIAL. 
          I, I DON'T THINK YOU NEED STATS FROM ME TO TELL YOU THAT. 
          UH, AND I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN 'EM, BUT I DIDN'T. 
          I KNOW THAT WHEN I FIRST STARTED HELPING PEOPLE BUILD, NOT ONLY IN BALL ANDRE, BUT IN DUBLIN, I MEAN, ALL OF US FELT LIKE DUBLIN WAS THE EPITOME. 
          WE, I PERSONALLY HAD LIVED IN DUBLIN SCHOOLS, BUT IN COLUMBUS DISTRICT. 
          AND I ALWAYS FELT LIKE I WAS KIND OF ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RIVER, BUT I WASN'T IN DUBLIN. 
          AND ALL I, I THOUGHT IS I SEE WHAT DUBLIN DOES WITH THEIR TAX BASE. 
          I SEE WHAT YOU ALL DO. 
          AND I WANT THAT. 
          I DEFINITELY WANT THAT. 
          SO WE STARTED LOOKING IN DUBLIN. 
          BELIEVE ME, I'VE BEEN OKAY. 
          ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS WE CAME TO BALL. 
          ANDRE SAW THAT BEAUTIFUL BUNNY PARK, AND I KNEW RIGHT THEN AND THERE THAT DUBLIN CITY WAS GONNA TAKE CARE OF US BECAUSE THEY WERE GONNA LOVE THAT AREA. 
          THAT'S THE LAST GOOD THING I HAVE SEEN OVER THERE. 
          PLEASE COME OVER AND HELP US OUT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          WE HAVE ONE MORE AND THEN MAYBE WE'LL GET TO DELIBERATIONS. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          THANKS. 
          MEMBERS OF, UH, COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR. 
          ALSO WANNA THANK EVERYONE HERE THAT'S SHOWED UP TONIGHT WITH SOME LUCID INTELLIGENT AND WELL THOUGHT OUT OBJECTIONS. 
          UH, PROUD OF THESE, THESE GROUP OF PEOPLE. 
          I, I KNOW SOME OF YA, I DON'T KNOW A LOT OF YA. 
          UH, BUT, UH, I THINK AFTER THIS IS ALL DONE, WE ALL GET TOGETHER AND CELEBRATE WHEN WE TURN THIS DOWN. 
          UH, MY NAME'S DAN DANIEL HAMAL. 
          I LIVE AT 5 7 2 5 TRAFALGAR LANE, UH, IN THE TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS INDUSTRY FOR ABOUT 26 YEARS. 
          ONE THING I KNOW IS TRUCKS, UH, ANYWHERE I'VE EVER VISITED A CUSTOMER, UH, IN MANUFACTURING, FOOD AND BEVERAGE, THEY DON'T HAVE NICE NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND THOSE FACILITIES. 
          THE INFRASTRUCTURE GETS TORN TO PIECES. 
          THERE'S CONSTANT ROAD CONSTRUCTION. 
          IT'S NOT JUST EXPANDING COS GRAY. 
          IT'S THE CONSTANT REVISIONS IN IN RENOVATING. 
          UH, SOMEBODY HERE MENTIONED NEW ALBANY. 
          UH, I USED TO WORK FOR THE LARGEST THIRD PARTY LOGISTICS COMPANY. 
          WE HAD AN OFFICE IN NEW ALBANY AND THEN WORKED FOR XBO LOGISTICS, WHO WE ALL KNOW HERE IN DUBLIN. 
          UH, WE BRANCHED OFF. 
          AND I WORK FOR THE THIRD LARGEST, UH, BROKER IN THE COUNTRY. 
          UH, RXL 
          [01:30:01]
IN HERE IN DUBLIN. 
          UH, I'VE MOVED A LOT OF TRUCKLOAD FREIGHT. 
          YOU DON'T WANT THAT ON COS GREAT ROAD. 
          YOU DO. 
          ABSOLUTELY DO NOT. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, GROVE CITY IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THAT. 
          UH, THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRUCK DRIVERS. 
          FRANKLY, A LOT OF 'EM ARE GOOD, SOME OF THEM AREN'T. 
          THERE'S MILLIONS OF THEM. 
          WE DON'T KNOW A LOT OF 'EM, WHERE THEY COME FROM OR WHAT THEIR INTENTIONS ARE. 
          AND THE CRIME IN, IN GROVE CITY COMPARED TO DUBLIN IS A DIRECT REFLECTION OF THE, I BELIEVE, THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY. 
          A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING IN AND OUT OF, UH, THE INDUSTRY, I'M SORRY, INTO THE AREA THAT YOU JUST DON'T WANT IN YOUR, IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND YOUR COMMUNITIES. 
          UH, LET'S NOT MAKE BALANCE TREE A TRUCK STOP. 
          UH, BALANCE TREE IS A GREAT COMMUNITY. 
          WE FELL IN LOVE WITH IT 10 YEARS AGO WHEN WE BUILT OUR, UH, HOME, AND WE REALLY WOULD LOVE TO KEEP IT AS THE WAY IT IS. 
          UM, I'M NOT GONNA TAKE MY FULL THREE MINUTES, BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. 
          BUT I DO HAVE ONE, UH, THING I'D SAY THAT I DON'T AGREE WITH. 
          PEOPLE ARE SAYING, LET'S SHELL THIS. 
          LET'S VOTE ON IT NOW AND JUST VOTE NO TONIGHT. 
          BECAUSE THE PEOPLE HERE ARE NOT GONNA, NOBODY'S MIND'S GONNA CHANGE. 
          WE'RE, WE DON'T NEED TO HEAR ANY MORE STUDIES. 
          NOBODY WANTS IT. 
          I, TRUST ME, I'M IN THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY. 
          WE DON'T WANT TRUCKS ON COD GRAY. 
          WE NEED TRUCKS JUST AWAY AND AWAY FROM RESIDENTIAL AREAS. 
          KEEP, KEEP BALANCE, RATE WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT WAS MEANT TO BE. 
          APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          ANYONE ELSE GOING ON? IT'S GOING TWICE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, WE WILL GET TO THE COUNCIL QUESTIONS DISCUSSION PORTION OF THE EVENING. 
          UH, WHO WOULD LIKE TO LEAD US OFF? SO FIRST I, AGAIN, WANNA THANK ALL THE RESIDENTS WHO CAME OUT. 
          UM, I APPRECIATE ALL THE RESEARCH PEOPLES HAVE DONE, ALL THE, UH, STUDIES. 
          UH, YOU'VE DEFINITELY, UM, BEEN READING THE MEMOS FROM STAFF. 
          IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU VISIT THAT NEW WEBPAGE. 
          I WENT OUT AND LOOKED AT IT TODAY THAT THE CITY HAS CREATED. 
          UH, THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION ON THERE, ESPECIALLY THE QUESTION AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION. 
          UM, MEMO THAT'S OUT THERE. 
          IT'S IN THE PRESENTATION. 
          THERE'S A LINK TO IT, SO IT SHOULD BE EASY TO FIND. 
          I ALSO, UM, JUST WANNA ENCOURAGE YOU, IF, IF WE DIDN'T ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, CERTAINLY KEEP ASKING. 
          THE, THE, THE CITY OF DUBLIN IS ALWAYS STUDYING AND PLANNING. 
          WE'RE CONTINUALLY TRYING TO LEARN AND GATHER MORE DA DATA. 
          AND OF COURSE WE'LL NEVER HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, BUT WE USE THAT INFORMATION AND TO, WE'RE GOING TO BE IMPROVING OUR CODE. 
          AS ZACH MENTIONED, WE'RE TAKING YOUR COMMENTS INTO CONSIDERATION. 
          THERE'S ALREADY SOME CODE CHANGES IN THE WORKS, AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU GO TO OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETINGS WHERE THOSE CODES WILL FIRST BE BROUGHT UP. 
          UH, AND AGAIN, CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION. 
          OUR CODE ISN'T STATIC. 
          WE LEARN AND ADJUST AS WE GO ALL THE TIME. 
          AND WE ARE MAKING SOME CHANGES. 
          AGAIN, THE MEMO OUTLINES SOME THAT HAVE ALREADY FOR SURE BEEN MADE, AND I'M SURE WE WILL HEAR MORE IN THE NEXT WHAT WE GOT SEVEN, EIGHT WEEKS UNTIL THE NEXT READING OF THIS. 
          SO THANKS AGAIN FOR COMING OUT. 
          THANK YOU, JAY. 
          I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYBODY COMING OUT. 
          I ALWAYS THINK THAT EVEN THOUGH SOMETIMES DISCUSSIONS ARE DIFFICULT, UM, AND UNCOMFORTABLE, AND EVEN FOR STAFF, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO, UM, TRY TO PRESENT IN FRONT OF A A CROWD LIKE THIS. 
          BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT THIS CONVERSATION AMONG US ALL IS VERY HEALTHY. 
          UM, THIS IS WHAT, UM, OUR DEMOCRACY SAYS THAT WE WE'RE HERE TO DO. 
          UM, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO, I AM REALLY IMPRESSED BY THE WORK THAT YOU'VE ALL DONE. 
          I KNOW THAT IT IMPACTS OUR THINKING. 
          IT, IT HELPS THE PLANNING AND DEPARTMENT AND ALL OF US TO THINK ABOUT SOME OF THE, UM, ADJUSTMENTS THAT CAN BE MADE. 
          UM, I THINK WHEN BRIDGE STREET, UH, CAME ALONG AND I LIVE IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, THAT WAS VERY SCARY. 
          MANY TIMES THE CODE WAS, UH, REDONE AND REDONE AND REDONE. 
          UM, I, I DO BELIEVE THAT, UM, THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT AROUND THE HOSPITAL AND THE UNIVERSITY, UH, AND THE OPPORTUNITIES, UH, AROUND A NEW SPORTS CENTER AND DARI FIELDS AND THE OTHER THINGS CAN BE VERY EXCITING AND VERY COMPLIMENTARY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          I THINK THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE. 
          [01:35:01]
I THINK YOU'VE IDENTIFIED MUCH OF IT. 
          I, UM, AM KIND OF A, A CODE WONK TOO. 
          AND I THINK THAT THERE'S IMPORTANT ADJUSTMENTS THAT CAN BE MADE. 
          SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONT THAT WE CONTINUE THIS CONVERSATION, THAT WE WORK TOGETHER. 
          WE TRY TO DO IT IN A VERY TRUSTING WAY. 
          AND, UM, I THINK THAT WE CAN GET TO PLACES THAT, UM, WILL BENEFIT EVERYBODY, THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, UM, BALANCE TRAY, THE WEST INNOVATION DISTRICT. 
          SO, UM, I KNOW THAT I'M GONNA BE ALWAYS VERY INTERESTED IN TALKING TO ALL OF YOU. 
          AND, UH, IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WE FIND THE RIGHT SOLUTIONS. 
          SO, UH, I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE WE STARTED BALLANT TREE AND UH, WE HAD MUIRFIELD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF 1 61 AND WE WENT TO CREATE A REALLY COOL COMMUNITY AND YOU ARE PART OF THAT REALLY COOL COMMUNITY. 
          SO, UH, AND WHAT A GREAT THING IT WAS. 
          IT WAS A HIGH RISK THING. 
          WE PUT A GOLF COURSE IN THERE, UH, HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH IT, AS YOU GUYS KNOW, CHOPPED THROUGH 'EM ALL, GOT EVERYTHING DONE. 
          SO IF YOU THINK THAT THIS COUNCIL IS WILLING TO SACRIFICE ANY OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE THAT YOU HAVE OR THE AESTHETICS, I THINK YOU'RE WRONG. 
          I MEAN, WE REALLY WANT, AS YOU KNOW, NATIONALLY, DUBLIN WON THE BEST CITY TO LIVE IN IN AMERICA A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. 
          AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE KEPT THE QUALITY OF THIS PLACE UP TO SUCH HIGH STANDARDS. 
          AND, UM, I WANNA SAY TO YOU, ZACH, THAT I THINK YOU'RE FINALLY GETTING TO THE RIGHT SPOT. 
          I'VE HEARD THESE PEOPLE SAY, WELL, WE'D LOVE TO HAVE A PARK NEXT TO US AND WE'D LIKE THAT WHOLE, UH, PROJECT TO BE A GIANT PARK. 
          BUT WHEN YOU SAID, ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA START USING THE LANDSCAPE CODE BECAUSE WE GOT A HUNDRED TO 200 FOOT SETBACKS ON THIS THING. 
          AND WHEN YOU THINK OF BRAND ROAD ON YOUR WAY TO MEREFIELD, THERE'S THE ONLY APARTMENT COMPLEX WE ALLOWED IN DUBLIN IN EIGHT YEARS. 
          WE TURNED DOWN PROBABLY A HUNDREDS OF THEM. 
          WE LET ONE IN FINALLY, IT HAD LAKES, I THINK IT HAS 14 FOOT MOUNDS SURROUNDING IT IN THAT GREEN SPACE THAT WE DEMANDED. 
          TOOK 'EM THREE YEARS TO GET THE ZONING IN, BUT THEY FINALLY WERE ALLOWED TO BUILD AN APARTMENT COMPLEX IN DUBLIN. 
          'CAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT SCHLOCKY STUFF IN OUR CITY. 
          SO IF WE COME BACK UP TOO, AND I THINK THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT AS THIS THING EVOLVES, YOU JUST MENTIONED IT, WHAT THIS IS GONNA LOOK LIKE, THE MOUNDING FOR NOISE ABATEMENT, VISUAL ASPECTS, I THINK WE CAN GET WHAT THEY WANT PARK AND, AND MAYBE SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL ASPECTS THAT WE, WE WERE LOOKING FOR. 
          SO, UM, AND I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT AND I WANNA THANK YOU FOR REFINING THIS. 
          'CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE NOISE PROBLEM, AND THAT IS REALLY A BIG PROBLEM. 
          SO THAT'S GOTTA BE RESOLVED. 
          AND SO BECAUSE OF YOUR EFFORTS, YOU'VE UH, SORT OF SIFTED THROUGH A LOT OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT, AND YOU'VE HELPED US FIND THOSE PROBLEMS. SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT PROJECT AS WE ALWAYS HAVE. 
          AND IT WAS BRIDGE STREET AND PEOPLE SAID IT WASN'T GONNA WORK, AND IT WAS A DISASTER, AND IT WAS GONNA WRECK THE CITY, AND WE WERE GONNA GO BANKRUPT AND THE BRIDGE WAS GONNA WRECK THE CITY. 
          AND YOU KNOW, I LISTENED TO IT ALL OVER THE YEARS, BUT WE'VE ALWAYS STOOD IN HERE BY OUR CITIZENS TO MAKE THIS PLACE A GREAT PLACE. 
          SO I WANNA THANK YOU AND THANK YOU THE VETERAN SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO I THINK THE MOST IMPACTFUL TESTIMONY THIS EVENING GOES TO THE YOUNG LADY IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. 
          UM, AND I THINK IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO, YEAH, PROBABLY ABOUT TIME FOR YOU TO PUT YOUR JAMMIES ON AND CALL IT A DAY. 
          BUT, UM, AND I THINK THE MOST INFORMATIVE TESTIMONY THIS EVENING GOES TO THE SOUND AND VIBRATION ENGINEER. 
          WE ARE LISTENING. 
          UM, YOU'RE DOING YOUR HOMEWORK AND AS THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS MENTIONED, UM, YOU'RE EXERCISING YOUR CIVIC DUTY. 
          I SEEM TO REMEMBER IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT, THE OLD CITY HALL RIGHT UP THE STREET, A BUNCH OF YOU SHOWED UP IN 2020 TO OPPOSE SOME A EP POWER LINES. 
          AND I WOULD ASK YOU HOW, AND IN REFLECTING BACK ON THAT, HOW DID THAT TURN OUT? SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, GIVE US SOME CREDIT. 
          AS JOHN SAID, WE DON'T WANNA SCREW IT UP. 
          OKAY. 
          WE HAVE A, WE HAVE A GOOD THING HERE. 
          UH, WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THE ECONOMICS OF THIS AND THAT PEOPLE ARE ASKING WHY. 
          AND I JUST WANNA, I'VE, EVERY, MY COUNCIL MEMBERS PROBABLY ROLL THEIR EYES WHEN I TALK ABOUT TAXES. 
          BUT IN THE, UH, WEBSITE THAT WE'VE SET UP FOR THIS PROJECT, 
          [01:40:02]
THERE'S A TAX GUIDE AND A LOT OF FOLKS, THEY, THEY, THEY TALK ABOUT THE TAX REVENUE THAT HOUSES CREATE. 
          AN OLD COUNCIL MEMBER TOLD ME WHEN I WAS RUNNING FOR COUNCIL, WE LOSE MONEY ON EVERY ROOFTOP. 
          AND I, AND I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY THAT? IF YOU PAY $10,000 IN PROPERTY TAXES, $263 GOES TO THE CITY OF DUBLIN. 
          THAT DOESN'T PAY FOR TRASH PICKUP DOESN'T PAY FOR CURBSIDE CHIPPING. 
          SO WE DO HAVE AN ECONOMIC RESPONSIBILITY HERE, BUT I AGAIN, UH, LOOKING BACK FIVE YEARS AGO, THE OLD BUILDING UP THE STREET, I THINK IT WAS RED HATS AT THE TIME, NOT RED SHIRTS. 
          UM, YOU EXERCISED YOUR CIVIC DUTY, THEN WE HEARD YOU, WE MADE THE APPROPRIATE ADJUSTMENTS. 
          AND I THINK IN THE END, WE HAVE A PRODUCT THAT WE'RE ALL ALL HAPPY WITH. 
          SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT. 
          UH, THANK YOU. 
          I I WANNA THANK WHOEVER SENT ME WHERE MY RED VIBES TONIGHT. 
          UM, I LITERALLY, HONESTLY, I HAD A WHITE JACKET ON AND I WAS ABOUT TO WALK OUT THE DOOR AND SOMETHING SAID, I HAVE TO GO CHANGE IT. 
          AND I PUT MY RED ONE ON, AND I DON'T HONESTLY KNOW WHY. 
          SO SOMEBODY SENT ME A VIBE, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          SINCERELY. 
          UM, ONE OF THE MENTORS THAT HAS BEEN MOST IMPORTANT IN MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE, UM, SAID TO ME ONCE, KATHY, IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT WE ASK QUESTIONS, THEN WE TALK ABOUT ANSWERS. 
          AND I WANT TO SINCERELY APPRE, UH, THANK EVERYBODY WHO CAME TONIGHT AND ASKED SOME REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS OF US, OF YOUR REPRESENTATIVES, OF YOUR STAFF, UM, INCLUDING IN THOSE OF COURSE, OUR STANDARDS. 
          DO WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE? DO WE HAVE MEASURES? ARE WE CLEAR ABOUT THAT? UM, HOW IS THE REVENUE GENERATED? WHAT IS THE VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY, BOTH SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM FOR OURSELVES TODAY AND FOR OUR CHILDREN IN THE FUTURE? YOU ASK IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. 
          UM, I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES IN THE STAFF. 
          WE HEARD YOU AND WE'RE GONNA WORK HARD ON THESE AND I THINK ZACH PRESENTED TONIGHT, UM, PERHAPS JU UH, AT THE BEGINNING, BUT, UM, OF WHAT WE HEARD BEFORE AND WORKING TO, TO TRY TO FIND ANSWERS THAT MAKE GOOD SENSE, BOTH SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM. 
          AND SO I, I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH, UM, AND I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE CONTINUED DIALOGUE AND, UM, I BELIEVE, UM, WE WILL CONTINUE THAT DIALOGUE IN AUGUST. 
          SO I THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING US WITH IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER. 
          THANKS. 
          I WILL SIXTH, THE GRATITUDE THAT I FEEL FOR EACH OF YOU BEING HERE TONIGHT AND TAKING THE TIME TO COME AND TALK WITH US. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I APOLOGIZE THAT THERE WERE COMMUNICATION ISSUES UPFRONT THAT CERTAINLY NEVER THE INTENTION. 
          UM, AND, AND I HOPE THAT WE, WE, THAT WON'T COLOR THE COMMUNICATION THAT WE HAVE MOVING FORWARD IN THIS. 
          UM, I, I THINK THAT SEVERAL OF YOU BROUGHT UP SOME REALLY, REALLY GOOD POINTS. 
          UM, I, I WOULD ASK STAFF AND I, I WILL TELL YOU, YOU HAVE AN EXCELLENT CITY STAFF IN THIS CITY. 
          UM, AND, YOU KNOW, NOBODY'S PERFECT, BUT THEY DO A DARN GOOD JOB. 
          AND WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THEM AND WE'RE PROUD TO HAVE YOU AS OUR RESIDENTS. 
          UM, SO I WOULD ASK THAT WE FOLLOW UP WITH A FEW THINGS. 
          UM, I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO FOLLOW UP WITH, UH, RESIDENTS ABOUT WATER AND SEWER REQUIREMENTS. 
          UM, BECAUSE I HEARD THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE IS WATER AND SEWER SERVICE THAT WOULD BE PLANNED. 
          UM, BUT THEY STAFF CAN HELP ANSWER THAT QUESTION. 
          UM, I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT, UH, REFINING THE POTEN, POTENTIALLY REFINING OUR NOISE REQUIREMENTS RELATIVE TO HAVING SOME OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS FOR BOTH LEVEL AND DURATION. 
          UM, I THINK THAT, UM, THE, THE NOISE ENGINEER MADE THE POINT THAT IT'S GREAT TO PUT IN LIMITS, BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE TEETH BEHIND IT, THAT MAKES IT REALLY TOUGH, UM, TO FOLLOW. 
          UM, I THINK SOMEBODY MENTIONED THAT THEY'VE RECEIVED NO STUDIES THAT THE CITY HAS CONDUCTED. 
          JUST ENSURE THAT THAT RESIDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO ANY OF THE STUDIES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN CONDUCTED AND ANY THAT WILL BE CONDUCTED. 
          UM, THEY'RE ALL PUBLIC RECORD AND WE'RE HAPPY TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU. 
          UM, SOMEBODY MENTIONED ABOUT THE TURKEY HILL. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THEY ARE, IF THERE'S ANY CODE VIOLATIONS THERE, LET, LIKE, LET'S JUST GO TAKE A LOOK STILL TO FINISH THE WALKWAY BETWEEN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I MEAN, I, WE GOTTA KNOW THESE THINGS, SO YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          UM, TERRIBLE. 
          YEAH, LET'S GO CHECK IT OUT. 
          SO WHAT I'M ASKING IS TO HAVE TO DO, UM, AND, AND TO ANDY'S POINT, YEAH, I MEAN GO UNDERSTAND YOUR TAX BILL. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN FRANKLIN COUNTY VERSUS DELAWARE COUNTY VERSUS UNION COUNTY, THOSE TAX BILLS ARE GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. 
          UM, AND THEY'RE ALL PUBLIC RECORD AND THEY'RE ALL ONLINE, UM, AT, IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH YOU RESIDE. 
          UM, 
          [01:45:01]
THIS IS A HARD CONVERSATION. 
          IT'S NEVER EASY TO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS, RIGHT? WHERE YOU'RE TRYING TO BALANCE THE, THE NEEDS AND DESIRES OF CURRENT RESIDENTS WITH SORT OF THESE DESIRES OF THESE LANDOWNERS TO DEVELOP THEIR LAND. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, HOW THAT VISION OF THE CITY MOVING FORWARD TO KATHY'S POINT INTO THE FUTURE FOR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS, THEIR HARD CONVERSATIONS, THEY SHOULD BE HARD CONVERSATIONS AND THEY SHOULD BE, YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD BE HEARING YOUR VOICES AND WE ABSOLUTELY DO. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, I WOULD PERSONALLY ASK THAT YOU GIVE US THAT OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION AND TO WORK TOGETHER. 
          THERE ARE SOLUTIONS THAT I THINK COULD MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY. 
          I MEAN, SHOOT, IF WE CAN WORK WITH A EP TO LOWER THOSE, WHATEVER THOSE POLLS ARE CALLED. 
          AND YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE, WE MADE THEM COME TO THE TABLE AND WE DID THAT BECAUSE YOU ASKED US TO. 
          AND IT WAS IMPORTANT AS IT SHOULD BE. 
          AND YOU KNOW, AS MUCH AS YOU STAND UP HERE AND GIVE US THOSE HEARTFELT THOUGHTS, I'M SITTING UP HERE FEELING THOSE HEARTFELT THOUGHTS WITH YOU. 
          UM, AND I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE WHAT CAN BE DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS, BUT CAN ALSO TURN INTO SOME REALLY, REALLY GREAT SOLUTIONS AND REALLY GREAT PRODUCTS IN THE END. 
          SO PLEASE KEEP THAT COMING AND KEEP THOSE LINES OF COMMUNICATION OPEN, NOT JUST ONE WAY. 
          WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANKS. 
          UM, WELL WE, WE WILL BE SENDING OUT ANOTHER NOTICE OF COMMUNICATION, UH, PRIOR TO OUR, THIS IS GOING TO BE SCHEDULED FOR NEXT HEARING ON AUGUST THE 11TH. 
          SO THERE WILL BE ANOTHER, UM, PUBLIC NOTICE GOING OUT FOR THAT TIME. 
          UH, ADDITIONALLY WE'LL COMMUNICATE VIA ALL OF THE CHANNELS WITH YOUR HOA LEADERSHIP AND ANYONE THAT HAS SIGNED IN AND SPOKEN OR PROVIDED THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS AT ANY POINT IN TIME, WE WILL BE SURE TO GET THOSE AGENDAS, THE, UH, CONTENT OF THE PACKET AND ALL OF THOSE MATERIALS TO YOU PRIOR TO THE AUGUST 11TH MEETING. 
          UM, I WANNA TAKE A, A COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT I'D LIKE STAFF TO, TO LOOK AT. 
          UM, CERTAINLY, UH, THE NOISE ORDINANCE, UM, GUIDANCE THAT MIGHT BE OUT THERE. 
          YOU KNOW, WALT DISNEY ONCE SAID, I NEVER SAW A GOOD IDEA THAT I DIDN'T STEAL. 
          WE DO A LOT OF THAT WITH CODE CHANGES AROUND HERE. 
          WE'VE TAKEN SOME FROM GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA AND TENNESSEE AND OTHER PLACES. 
          AND WE TRY TO LOOK AT WHO HAS GREAT CODES AND WE IMPLEMENT THEM INTO OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL. 
          SO, UM, WE WILL BE TAKING A LOOK AT THAT. 
          UM, FOR THE GENTLEMAN THAT SPOKE ABOUT WATER AND WELL, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE WOULD BE WATER AND SEWER PROVIDED TO THESE AREAS. 
          AND SO, UM, IT WOULD BE OUR EXPECTATION AND HAS BEEN, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S VERY FLAT OVER THERE. 
          YOU KNOW, WHEN THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS PICKS A PLACE PRETTY CLOSE TO YOU TO DUE WETLANDS MITIGATION, YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A HIGH WATER TABLE AND YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A VERY FLAT SURFACE. 
          SO, UM, OUR EXPECTATION WOULD BE THAT WHATEVER DEVELOPMENT THAT HAPPENS IN, IN THE AREA, THAT THE DRAINAGE WOULD GET BETTER AND NOT WORSE. 
          AND THAT IS THE STANDARD THAT WE WILL ABSOLUTELY UNEQUIVOCALLY HOLD ANY DEVELOPMENT TO. 
          UM, SO I THINK EVEN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF BALANCE TRAY, THAT LAND SET VERY WET BEFORE YOU WERE THERE AND THE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS BALANCE TRAY HAS REALLY IMPROVED THE DRAINAGE, UM, IN THAT AREA. 
          SO WE WORK, WE WORKED REALLY HARD WITH THE COS GRADE DITCH AND CLEANING THAT OUT AND, UM, PROVIDING, UH, ALL SORTS OF, UH, DRAINAGE OPPORTUNITIES OVER THE COURSE OF TIME. 
          SO I, I WANTED TO MENTION, UM, THAT AS WELL. 
          UM, I I WOULD SAY THAT IN, IN THE CITY OF DUBLIN, OUR CODE IS A LIVING DOCUMENT. 
          UM, WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO IMPROVE IT. 
          WE HAVE DONE REVISIONS TO THE BRIDGE STREET CODE NO LESS THAN FOUR TIMES. 
          UH, WE ARE CONTINUING TO DO, UH, REVISIONS AND UPDATES TO THE CODE AT METRO CENTER. 
          WE DO WHOLESALE CHANGES TO THE CODE THAT APPLIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY. 
          AND SO YOUR FEEDBACK WHEN THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, YOU KNOW, ZACH HAD INDICATED THIS EVENING THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, UH, WILL BE CHARGED WITH DOING THOSE CODE UPDATES. 
          YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT, UM, BECAUSE, BECAUSE THAT IS REALLY WHAT WILL GOVERN THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S ON THESE PIECES. 
          UM, SO THE ZONING WILL HAPPEN, BUT THE CODE WILL, WILL GOVERN THE INDEPENDENT, INDEPENDENT DEVELOPMENT THAT HAPPENS. 
          UM, SO I, I WANNA PAINT SOME EXPECTATIONS AND, UH, PAINT A PICTURE OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE MOVING FORWARD. 
          SO, UM, I WILL, ZACH, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER TO ADD? DO YOU NEED ANY OTHER CLARITY FROM COUNSEL? DO YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED? OKAY, SO, UM, I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO HOLD ADDITIONAL READING IN THE CONTINUATION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING ON AUGUST 11TH, 2025.

          AGAIN, WE WILL DO AN ADDITIONAL NOTIFICATION OF THAT MEETING AND AT THE WEBSITE THAT WAS INDICATED THERE, UM, WE CAN PROBABLY GO AHEAD AND EMAIL THAT OUT TO, TO ALL OF THE EMAIL ADDRESSES THAT WE HAVE OF THAT WEBSITE ADDRESS AND TO THE LEADERSHIP OF A BALANCE TRAY SO THAT THEY CAN DISPENSE OF THAT.

          I KNOW THERE WAS A SIGN IN SHEET THAT HAD EMAIL ADDRESS REQUESTS ON THERE TOO.

          COUNCIL QUESTIONS. 
          DISCUSSION. 
          JAMIE, THANKS VERY MUCH FOR INCLUDING THAT. 
          THAT'S HELPFUL. 
          I I JUST HAVE A GENERAL QUESTION ABOUT THE TIMING OF THIS. 
          I KNOW WE HAVE A POLICY THAT SAYS IF CERTAIN HURDLES ARE IN PLACE, UM, AND I KNOW THE CLIMATE, YOU CAN NEVER PREDICT THE FUTURE OF WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN WITH INTEREST RATES, BUT WHAT WAS THE THINKING ABOUT THE TIMING OF THIS VIS-A-VIS WAITING OR WHATEVER? I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THE PERSPECTIVE ON THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SURE. 
          UM, I'M ACTUALLY GONNA DEFER TO TOM TO HELP ME ANSWER THAT QUESTION. 
          HI, GOOD EVENING COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          UH, MR. ROSA. 
          UM, SO WITH RESPECT TO THE TIMING SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO THE REFINANCING, WE ARE BASICALLY, UH, UP AGAINST, UH, SOME FEDERAL LAWS WHICH STIPULATE THAT WE CAN'T REFINANCE THESE BONDS ON A TAX EXEMPT BASIS UNTIL 90 DAYS BEFORE THEIR CALL DATE. 
          SO THESE BONDS ARE CALLABLE DECEMBER 1ST, 2020, UH, FIVE, UH, LATER THIS YEAR. 
          AND SO BASICALLY THAT GETS US TO AROUND SEPTEMBER 2ND, SEPTEMBER 3RD IS WHEN THEY'RE ABLE TO BE CURRENTLY CALLED ON A TAX EXEMPT BASIS. 
          SO WE ARE PLANNING TO CLOSE, I BELIEVE ON SEPTEMBER 3RD FOR THE TAX EXEMPT, UH, GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS. 
          SO WE'RE REALLY JUST GETTING UP TO THAT THRESHOLD. 
          WE'RE 89 DAYS BEFORE THAT, SO WE'RE FALLING, UH, WITHIN THE, THE CORRECT TIMING THERE. 
          GREAT. 
          THANKS. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          YOU BET. 
          MAYBE TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT, UM, AT WHAT POINT WILL THE RATE BE DECLARED ON THAT? SO THE RATE WOULD BE LOCKED IN ABOUT TWO TO THREE WEEKS BEFORE THAT CLOSING DATE. 
          IT'S CALLED PRICING. 
          SO THAT'S WHEN WE GO AND WE REQUEST BIDS FROM UNDERWRITERS. 
          UM, AND AT THAT POINT IN TIME WE SELECT THE, THE HIGHEST BID OR THE LOWEST RATE AND UH, THEN WE WILL GET ALL THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS SET IN PLACE AND, AND CLOSE ABOUT TWO TO THREE WEEKS LATER. 
          GOTCHA. 
          SO SORT OF PROGNOSTICATING A LITTLE BIT, BUT POSSIBLY A WHAT YOU'VE QUOTED OR MAYBE EVEN A BIT LOWER POTENTIALLY? UH, WELL, THE, THE, THE MARKET'S ALWAYS MOVING. 
          YEAH, CERTAINLY IT'S DYNAMIC. 
          UH, BUT JUST BY WAY OF EXAMPLE, SINCE THE LAST TIME, UM, THE, OR SINCE THE FIRST READING RATES HAVE ACTUALLY, THEY'VE GONE UP AND DOWN DURING THAT TIMEFRAME, BUT THEY'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO WHERE AT BEFORE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE'RE LOOKING AT AN IMPROVEMENT OF MAYBE 0.02 
          [02:00:01]
TO 0.03%. 
          WHERE WE ARE AT, WE ARE CURRENTLY ESTIMATING AN ALL IN TRUE COST OF AROUND 3 85 LAST TIME. 
          THAT HASN'T REALLY CHANGED. 
          OKAY. 
          CERTAINLY IF THERE'S OTHER EXOGENOUS EVENTS THAT HAPPEN IN THE MARKET, THINGS CAN CHANGE, BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT'S KIND OF, UH, OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEP.

          I'LL INTRODUCE IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND OUR STAFF REPORT WILL BE FROM MICHAEL HENDERSHOT. 
          WELCOME, UH, WEL WELCOME AND GOOD EVENING MEMBERS OF COUNSEL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING. 
          OUR FOUR ORDINANCES TO ACQUIRE TEMPORARY EASEMENTS FOR THE WATERWAYS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, 2025 PROJECTS. 
          THE WATERWAYS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM PROVIDES FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF WATERWAYS, OPEN CHANNELS AND STREAMS LOCATED ON CITY OWNED PROPERTIES OR PROPERTIES WHERE THE CITY HAS MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES THROUGH AN ESTABLISHED EASEMENT. 
          THE PROGRAM PRESERVES AND IMPROVES THE STABILITY AND FLOOD CARRYING CAPACITY OF THE WATERWAYS, ADDRESSES AREAS OF EROSION AND PROTECTS RIPARIAN CORRIDORS AND INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          THE PROPER OPERATION OF WATERWAYS IS CRITICAL TO ENSURING THE CONVEYANCE OF STORMWATER RUNOFF AND REDUCING THE OCCURRENCE OF FLOODING AND DAMAGE TO INFRASTRUCTURE DUE TO CHANNEL EROSION. 
          REDUCING AREAS OF EROSION CAN IMPROVE THE SEDIMENT LOADING ON A WATERWAY, IMPROVING AQUATIC HABITAT AND REDUCING TURBIDITY IN THE WATER. 
          THE WATERWAYS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM 2025 PROJECT WAS 
          [02:05:01]
IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THE OVERALL PROGRAM AND INCLUDES THE BANK STABILIZATION OF EIGHT STREAM SITES ACROSS THE CITY OF, UH, DUBLIN LOCATED OR AS SHOWN ON THE FOLLOWING FOUR SLIDES. 
          SO SITE THREE, WHICH IS LOCATED ALONG TAMARISK COURT NORTH OF TTE DRIVE EAST OF RED BAY COURT SITE 24, WHICH IS LOCATED ALONG BAIT SHOP CREEK SOUTH OF TANTE DRIVE SITE 18, WHICH IS LOCATED ALONG SOUTH FORK INDIAN RUN WITHIN DARI FIELDS SITE 22, WHICH IS LOCATED ALONG SOUTH FORK INDIAN RUN NORTH OF POST ROAD AND EAST OF AVERY MUIRFIELD DRIVE, SITES 25 27 AND 28, WHICH ARE LOCATED ALONG TANTE CREEK, SOUTH OF WINDUP WOODS BOULEVARD, WEST OF LAND HEMP COURT. 
          AND THEN LASTLY, SITE 44, WHICH IS LOCATED ALONG NORTH FORK INDIAN RUN NORTH OF BRAND ROAD AND WEST OF SHANNON GLEN BOULEVARD. 
          SO PRESENTLY THE PROJECT IS PLANNED TO BE ADVERTISED FOR BIDS IN JULY, 2025 WITH CONSTRUCTION PLAN TO COMMENCE IN FALL OF 2025 AND BE COMPLETED IN SPRING OF 2026. 
          THE PROJECT REQUIRES THE ACQUISITION OF FOUR TEMPORARY EASEMENTS FROM THE FOUR PROPERTIES THAT ARE BE SHOWN ON THE F THE FOLLOWING TWO SLIDES. 
          SO THE FIRST PROPERTY IS 68 10 AVERY MEREFIELD DRIVE AND THAT'S A 0.05 ACRE TEMPORARY EASEMENT AGAIN, AS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN. 
          THE OTHER THREE TEMPORARY EASEMENTS ARE AT 7 7 7 7 LANHAM COURT. 
          7 7 7 1 BOYLESTON COURT AND 7 7 7 2 BOYTON COURT. 
          THE FOUR TEMPORARY EASEMENTS ARE NEEDED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS OF THE PROJECT. 
          THE CITY HAS PARTICIPATED IN GOOD FAITH DISCUSSIONS WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND, AND HAVE ARRIVED AT MUTUALLY AGREEABLE TERMS THAT ARE DETAILED IN THE STAFF MEMO. 
          THESE ARE THE ONLY NEEDED ACQUISITIONS FOR THE PROJECT AND ALL WERE AGREED UPON AT THE APPRAISED VALUES. 
          STAFF RECOMMENDS COUNCIL ADOPTION OF ORDINANCES 24 DASH 25 THROUGH 27 DASH 25 AT THE SECOND COUNCIL AND PUBLIC HEARING ON JULY 1ST, 2025. 
          AND WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS COUNCIL MIGHT HAVE REGARDING THESE ORDINANCES. 
          VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. 
          I WANNA TAKE A MOMENT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT THIS EVENING THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK RELATIVE TO ANY OF THESE ORDINANCES? HEARING NONE COUNCIL QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION? UM, I HAVE A QUESTION. 
          UM, THE, UH, AND IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ABOUT THE PARTIALS, BUT IT'S MORE ABOUT THE WATERWAYS MAINTENANCE AND THE BID THAT'S GONNA GO OUT. 
          UM, THE CREEKS AND THE STREAM BANKS ARE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AESTHETIC ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY AND I'VE NOTICED IN SOME, UM, PREVIOUS MAINTENANCE, SOME OF THE ROCK THAT THEY'RE USING ALONG THE SIDES OF THE BANKS JUST LOOK TOTALLY OUTTA PLACE. 
          THEY LOOK WHITE, UM, CONCRETE ISH LOOKING, AND I HAVE TWO CREEKS AT MY HOUSE AND I KNOW THAT IT'S PART OF MY LANDSCAPE. 
          IT'S WHAT MAKES THE, WHAT I ENJOY ABOUT THE CREEKS. 
          SO I, I JUST HAVE TO ASK YOU IN THE BID, UM, WHAT ARE YOU ASKING OF THE FOLKS THAT MIGHT BE, UH, COMING TO DO THIS WORK WHEN IT COMES TO THE MATERIALS THEY USE? RIGHT. 
          SO THE MATERIALS AND THE SCOPE OF CONSTRUCTION IS OUTLINED IN THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS, WHICH WE'RE GONNA HAVE APPROVED HERE WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. 
          AND I KNOW YOU HAD MENTIONED THIS PREVIOUSLY MM-HMM . 
          SO I APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK. 
          SO, UM, IT'S A MIX BETWEEN, THERE ARE SOME AREAS, AND IT DEPENDS ON ACCESSIBILITY AND BEING ABLE TO GET MATERIALS TO THESE DIFFERENT AREAS. 
          SO THAT IS SOMEWHAT OF A CHALLENGE FOR SOME OF THESE SITES. 
          SO THERE ARE SOME SITES WHERE WE'RE DOING ROCK PROTECTION TO TRY TO ANCHOR THOSE STREAM BANKS. 
          THERE'S ACTUALLY A SITE, IT'S THE SITE 28 THAT'S, UH, SOUTH OF WINDUP WOODS BOULEVARD. 
          WE'RE DOING SOMETHING SOMEWHAT PROGRESSIVE WHERE WE'RE NOT JUST DOING TYPICAL ROCK ANCHORING ALONG THE STREAM BANKS. 
          WE'RE ACTUALLY USING A MIX OF, UM, IT'S 10% SOIL, 50% BRUSH, 20% GRAVEL, AND 20% STONE, ALL BASICALLY MIXED IN TOGETHER. 
          AND THAT MATERIAL IS GOING TO BE USED IN ADDITION TO ANCHOR LOGS THAT ARE GONNA BE USED FOR TREES THAT NEEDED TO BE FELL AS PART OF THE PROJECT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THAT IS GONNA BE THE STREAM, THE ACTUAL STREAM BANK STABILIZATION AS WELL AS THE SIDES, UM, OR THE STREAM BED STABILIZATION AS WELL AS THE STREAM BANK STABILIZATION. 
          SO THAT IS SOMETHING WE'RE COGNIZANT ON. 
          OKAY. 
          IT'S REALLY A CASE BY CASE BASIS AS FAR AS THE ACCESS TO THESE SITES. 
          CAN WE USE ROCK? ARE THERE OTHER MEASURES THAT WE CAN USE? SO WE'RE, WE'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING AT THAT AS A CASE BY CASE BASIS AS WE'RE LOOKING AT THESE PROJECTS. 
          UM, UH, THAT'S REALLY GOOD TO HEAR. 
          UH, WHAT ABOUT PLANTING? IT'S PLANTING CONSIDERED AT THE RIPARIAN BARRIER. 
          YES. 
          THAT, THAT IS A BIG PART OF THIS PROGRAM. 
          WE MAKE SURE THERE'S RIPARIAN CORRIDORS ALONG THESE AREAS THAT ARE REESTABLISHED WITH VEGETATION AND MAKING SURE THAT'LL, YOU KNOW, HOLD AND GROW AS YEARS GO ON. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S A BIG PART OF THIS. 
          I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU, YOU HEARD WHAT I HAD TO SAY BEFORE, BECAUSE 
          [02:10:01]
HONESTLY AS THESE CREEKS RUN DISTANCES AND SO THEY BECOME OBVIOUS WHEN THEY STAND OUT AND THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE THERE'S A NATURAL MATERIAL. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT, BUT RIGHT. 
          THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE CONSIDER SIGNIFICANTLY. 
          ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK IN THIS. 
          I KNOW IT'S BEEN A COUPLE YEARS FROM INCEPTION TO, TO GOING, SO WHERE DOES THIS PLACE US WITH THIS WORK AND THAT TIMELINE? I KNOW WE HAD SOME ACCELERATED EARLY, HOW ARE WE DOING ON THE TIMELINES? RIGHT, SO THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. 
          SO WE HAVE ACTUALLY CONTRACTED WITH FRANKLIN SWAN AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT TO PERFORM WATERWAY INSPECTIONS. 
          SO WE HAVE AROUND 50 MILES OF WATERWAYS IN THE CITY OF DUBLIN. 
          AND NOT ALL OF THAT IS ON CITY OF DUBLIN PROPERTY OR ON PRIVATE PROPERTY WHERE WE HAVE MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY. 
          SO FRANKLIN SWAY AND WATER HAS BEEN GOING OUT LATE LAST YEAR THROUGH THIS YEAR, AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY ABOUT A COUPLE WEEKS FROM BEING FINISHED WITH THAT. 
          SO THE GOAL FOR THIS PROGRAM IS REALLY TO REFRESH THE PROGRAM TO REPRIORITIZE ANY CRITICAL AREAS. 
          'CAUSE THE, THE WAY THAT WE PRIORITIZE PICKING THESE SITES, THERE WAS A FORMULA THAT WAS CREATED WHEN THIS PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED, AND IT REALLY TAKES UNDER ACCOUNT SUSCEPTIBILITY OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND HOW CLOSE THAT IS TO THESE WATERWAYS. 
          SO IF EROSION CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, IS THERE A SHARED USE PATH? IS THERE A BUILDING, A STRUCTURE THAT MAY BE COMPROMISED BASED ON THE PROXIMITY? SO THOSE ARE ALL FACTORED INTO THIS FORMULA THAT WAS CREATED. 
          UM, I'D SAY SPECIFIC TO THE ORIGINAL ADOPTION OF THIS WATERWAYS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, WE'RE THROUGH THE MAJORITY OF THOSE CRITICAL SITES. 
          SO THAT'S WHY WE WANTED TO REFRESH THE PROGRAM BECAUSE THOSE INITIAL INSPECTIONS WERE FROM 20 18, 20 19 TIME PERIOD. 
          AND AS WE ALL KNOW, WATER MOVES. 
          SO WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE WEREN'T ADDRESSING KIND OF THE LESS CRITICAL ONES IDENTIFIED, YOU KNOW, 6, 7, 8 YEARS AGO. 
          AND WE WANT TO REFRESH THAT PROGRAM SO THAT WAY WE CAN MAKE SURE WE'RE ADDRESSING THE MOST CRITICAL AREAS WITHIN THE WATERWAYS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME. 
          ANDY. 
          I WAS JUST GONNA KIND OF ADDRESS JANE'S COMMENT. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S NATURE AND EVERY SPRING WITH THE WATER FLOW, A LOT OF DEBRIS AND SOIL, SILT, SAND STARTS TO BUILD UP IN THOSE, BETWEEN THOSE ROCKS. 
          YOU GIVE IT THREE TO FIVE YEARS AND YOU'LL NEVER KNOW IT'S THERE. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK I GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF IT AND, AND ACCELERATE THAT. 
          BUT I THINK IF YOU GIVE IT TIME, I MEAN, YOU LOOK AROUND AT THESE DRY STACK WALLS, THEY START OUT VERY BRIGHT AND THEY STAND OUT AFTER FIVE YEARS, THEY'RE COVERED WITH MOSS AND PEOPLE WANT TO POWER WASH 'EM. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU JUST KIND OF HAVE TO LET NATURE TAKE ITS COURSE. 
          RIGHT. 
          ANDY, JUST QUICKLY, JUST IN RESPONSE TO THAT, I I AGREE WITH YOU. 
          UH, THE ONLY THING THAT CONCERNED ME IS THERE THERE IS THIS WHITE LIMESTONE RIFF WRAP THAT'S REALLY INEXPENSIVE AND IT TAKES A WHOLE LOT LONGER. 
          AND SOMETIMES NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO TO IT, IT STAYS LOOKING LIKE THAT. 
          BUT, BUT I YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT, THEY'RE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 
          I, I TRUST IT. 
          HOW LONG DO YOU, UH, ANTICIPATE THIS BEING A SOLUTION? LIKE WHEN YOU DO THESE REPAIRS ALONG THE STREAM CORRIDOR, HOW, HOW LONG DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT BEING THE SOLUTION UNTIL IT NEEDS REVISITED? SO, I MEAN, THE, THE GOAL FOR THAT IS FOR THAT TO LAST A A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. 
          I DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC TIME PERIOD, BUT, YOU KNOW, I'D I'D LIKE TO SAY, YOU KNOW, 20, 30, 40 YEARS TIMEFRAME WHERE JUST WE'VE, WE'VE ANCHORED THE STREAM BANKS. 
          WE'LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR IT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT FAILING. 
          BUT OUR GOAL IS ONCE WE'VE TOUCHED THIS AREA, WE DON'T NEED TO COME BACK THERE FOR A LONG TIME. 
          I WOULD ANTICIPATE THE, THE PLACES WHERE YOU DO THIS WITH LOGS MM-HMM . 
          ARE GOING TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY SHORTER THAN THAT. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, BECAUSE THEY WILL DECOMPOSE IN SEVEN AND THAT YEARS. 
          RIGHT. 
          THEY'LL BE GONE. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          AND THAT'S FAIR. 
          SO WHAT I HAD JUST MENTIONED REALLY WAS SPECIFIC TO THE ROCK CHANNEL COMPO COMPONENT OF THIS. 
          SO, UM, WHEN WE CONSIDERED KIND OF THIS MORE NATURAL MATERIAL AND KIND OF MIXING THIS ALL UP INTO A VOLUME AND THEN COMPACTING IT, HAVING THAT AS THE STREAMED, WE HAD REACHED OUT TO OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT HAD DONE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO GET THEIR KIND OF LESSONS LEARNED. 
          WOULD THEY DO THAT AGAIN? WHAT WAS THE MAINTENANCE LIKE? SO WE HAD VETTED ALL OF THAT OUT AS WE WERE MAKING THAT DECISION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SITE 28. 
          SO HOW MANY AREAS ARE YOU UTILIZING THAT? SO SITE 28 IS THE ONE AREA THAT HAS KIND OF THIS MIXTURE VOLUME OF BRUSH AND STONE, UM, AND KIND OF THAT NATURAL MATERIAL. 
          UM, ONE OF THE OTHER SITES WITHIN THE WIND AT WOODS BOULEVARD, JUST SOUTH OF WINE AT WOODS BOULEVARD, WE'RE ALSO USING ANCHOR LOGS. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE DON'T DO THAT AGAIN UNTIL WE HAVE GOOD DATA ON HOW THAT WORKS. 
          I, RIGHT. 
          SO I 
          [02:15:01]
WALK BY EVERY DAY A A CREEK BED THAT IS LINED WITH CAGES THAT ARE FILLED WITH LIMESTONE. 
          UH, THE RECENT HEAVY RAINS HAVE WASHED THE CAGES AWAY. 
          THESE ARE CAGES THAT ARE THREE AND A HALF FEET TALL, TWO FEET DEEP, AND FIVE FEET LONG, AND THEY HAVE NOW CRUMBLED INTO THE STREAM BED. 
          SO I, I WOULD HOPE THAT WE DON'T KEEP MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT APPROACH UNTIL WE HAVE REALLY GOOD DATA. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND HOW THAT IS, YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR RAINS HAVE GOTTEN MORE AND MORE SIGNIFICANT, UM, AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF SILT THAT'S GONNA WASH INTO THOSE AREAS ON ITS OWN, SO. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND, AND I APPRECIATE THAT COMMENT. 
          SO AS PART OF FRANKLIN SWAN WATERS, UH, WATERWAY INSPECTIONS, THEY ARE ACTUALLY ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE AREAS AS WE CALLED IT, OUR YEAR ONE PROJECT FROM A COUPLE YEARS AGO TO SEE HOW THAT'S HELD UP. 
          SO OBVIOUSLY WE HAVEN'T CONSTRUCTED THE 2025 PROJECT, BUT THAT IS SOMETHING WE WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE DOING IS CHECKING POST-CONSTRUCTION X MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD, GOING BACK IN AND SEEING HOW IT'S OPERATING BECAUSE THIS IS SOMEWHAT OF A PROGRESSIVE APPROACH FOR STREAM BANK STREAM BED STABILIZATION. 
          WE WANT TO BE INNOVATIVE WITH THESE THINGS, BUT WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO COME BACK IN TWO YEARS BECAUSE IT FAILED. 
          SO THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT. 
          AND DO WE HAVE A COST PER LINEAR FOOT OF THE TWO TO COMPARE THEM WITH ONE ANOTHER? UH, WE DO, UM, I DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, BUT WE DO HAVE COST ESTIMATES. 
          UM, AND IT'S IN LINE WITH WHAT WE'VE BUDGETED, BUDGETED IN OUR CIP I'M REALLY LOOKING FOR THE COMPARISON, THE COMPARISON, THE TWO APPROACHES MORE THAN THE OVERALL BUDGET I CAN. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND I CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THAT INFORMATION WE DO HAVE THAT, THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC. 
          UM, AND THEN MY, MY LAST QUESTION IS, IF WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THESE REPAIR AND CORRIDORS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, I, I REALIZE THAT THESE TEMPORARY EASEMENTS ARE SMALL. 
          UM, BUT IF WE HAVE OWNERSHIP, MAINTENANCE OWNERSHIP OF THESE CORRIDORS AND OF THESE STREAM BEDS, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER VEHICLES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO US TO ACQUIRE THESE EASEMENTS RATHER THAN NEGOTIATE ONE BY ONE BY ONE, UM, TO GET TO THEM? I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE SOME EASEMENT IF YOU HAVE A, IF YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO MAIN, SOME MAINTAIN SOMETHING, THERE WOULD BE AN INFERENCE OF SORTS THAT YOU COULD GET TO IT TO MAINTAIN IT. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND, AND PART OF THAT IS LOOKING AT, OH, SO LET'S JUST SAY WE'RE ALONG A WATERWAY. 
          IT'S PART OF IT IS ON CITY OF DUBLIN OWNED PROPERTY, AND THEN IT GOES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THEN MAYBE IN THE SITUATION IT GOES BACK ONTO CITY OWNED PROPERTY. 
          SO THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME CONSIDERATION ABOUT ACCESS TO THOSE AREAS. 
          'CAUSE THE MAJORITY OF WHAT WE'RE NEEDING AS FAR AS THESE FOUR TEMPORARY EASEMENTS IS REALLY FOR ACCESS TO GET TO THESE AREAS. 
          SO THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS WELL. 
          DO WE NEED SOMETHING MORE THAN THAT JUST IN THE FUTURE IF WE NEED TO GET BACK INTO THESE AREAS? SO WHEN WE ACQUIRE THESE TEMPORARY EASEMENTS, ARE THEY, ARE THEY A REPEATABLE TEMPORARY EASEMENT SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO ACQUIRE IT AGAIN IF, IF AND WHEN WE NEED TO GO BACK? SO IS THERE, YOU KNOW, IS THERE A A LONG TERM, I, I GET THAT THEY'RE TEMPORARY, BUT RIGHT. 
          CAN THEY BE TEMPORARY IN TERMS OF, TO THE POINT THAT WE NEED TO ACCESS THOSE AREAS TO REPAIR THE STREAM QUARTERS? RIGHT. 
          AND, AND THAT'S A GOOD THOUGHT. 
          UM, SO THESE SPECIFICALLY ARE 12 MONTHS ONCE CONSTRUCTION BEGINS. 
          SO THEORE, IF WE NEED TO COME BACK, AND AGAIN, THE HOPE IS THAT WE DON'T NEED TO COME BACK FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. 
          BUT THAT IS SOMETHING WE PROBABLY WOULD NEED TO RENEGOTIATE TEMPORARY EASEMENTS JUST FOR ACCESS, TYPICALLY FOR ACCESS. 
          WE DON'T TRY TO GET PERMANENT EASEMENTS FOR THAT, BUT THAT'S DEFINITELY A CONSIDERATION THAT WE, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY NEED TO BE PERMANENT EASEMENTS, BUT MAYBE THEY'RE REPEATABLE TEMPORARY EASEMENTS. 
          YEAH. 
          WHERE YOU, YOU COULD, YOU KNOW, AS, AS YOU NEED ACCESS, YOU HAVE A SHORT WINDOW THAT YOU COULD RIGHT. 
          AND, AND PART OF THAT TOO, HONESTLY GETS INTO THE APPRAISED VALUE. 
          SO WE HAD APPRAISALS ON FOR ALL OF THESE, AND IT'S BASED ON A NUMBER OF MONTHS. 
          SO IF WE START STIPULATING, WELL MAYBE 20 YEARS FROM NOW, 30 YEARS FROM NOW, THAT APPRAISED VALUE GOES UP. 
          SO THAT WOULD JUST BE A CONSIDERATION. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT FOR THESE, BUT AS WE MOVE FORWARD, UM, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE TRY TO SEE IF THERE IS A SOLUTION. 
          PERHAPS THERE ISN'T A SOLUTION, BUT MAYBE THERE IS A SOLUTION SO THAT WHOEVER'S SITTING IN THESE SEATS AT THE NEXT POINT IN TIME WHEN THESE WATERWAYS NEED ADDRESSED, UM, IT WILL, YOU KNOW, IT WILL BECOME LESS COSTLY AND BURDENSOME. 
          I REALIZE THAT THE, THAT THE, THAT THE PRICE THAT WE PAY FOR THE TEMPORARY EASEMENT IS THE CHEAPEST PART OF THE PROCESS. 
          RIGHT. 
          RIGHT. 
          THE REST OF IT IS, IS VERY EXPENSIVE. 
          THE $1,200 WE PAY IS, IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE BALANCE OF THE COST OF GETTING TO THE POINT OF PAYING 'EM $1,200. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO IF THERE, IF THERE'S A CREATIVE SOLUTION TO THAT, I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN EXPLORING IT. 
          YEAH, DEFINITELY. 
          THA I APPRECIATE THAT FEEDBACK. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          ANYTHING ELSE? UH, HEARING NONE, WE WILL, THIS WAS SCHEDULED FOR SECOND READING, PUBLIC HEARING FOR TUESDAY, JULY. 
          THE TUESDAY JULY 1ST, 2025 MEETING.

          PROJECT ORDINANCE 29 25 IS REGARDING A 0.022 ACRE TEMPORARY EASEMENT FROM THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5 5 8 4 BRAND ROAD FROM STEVEN K. GILL AND RACHEL TGI INTRODUCE IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND WE WILL STICK WITH MICHAEL FOR THE STAFF REPORT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, AND GOOD EVENING AGAIN. 
          MEMBERS OF COUNCIL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING ARE TWO ORDINANCES TO ACQUIRE A PERMANENT DRAINAGE EASEMENT AND TEMPORARY EASEMENT FOR THE ARLINGTON PARK DRAINAGE BASIN IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. 
          UM, SO I WANTED TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON WHY THIS PROJECT CAME TO BE. 
          AND I THINK THE PICTURE HERE ON THE LEFT IS PRETTY TELLING OF THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERN. 
          SO, UM, THIS IS THE BRAND ROAD, PEDESTRIAN TUNNEL, WHICH IS LOCATED EAST OF THE BRAND ROAD IN BRISTOL PARKWAY INTERSECTION AND NORTH OF THE ARLINGTON PARK DRAINAGE BASIN. 
          UM, AND THIS, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SLIDE HERE, UM, THIS BASIN HAS EXPERIENCED, OR THE PEDESTRIAN TUNNEL HAS EXPERIENCED REPEATED STORMWATER FLOODING OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. 
          SO, UM, IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING, BUT CITY OF DUBLIN HAS CONCERNS WITH THIS FREQUENT FLOODING CONDITION AND ITS IMPACTS ON PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, THE PHOTOGRAPH ON THE LEFT WAS TAKEN DURING A SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT. 
          I THINK A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS IN THIS EXAMPLE HERE, . 
          OKAY. 
          I KNOW THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN THIS SLIDE, BUT IN 2023, THE CITY CONTRACT WITH EMH AND T TO PERFORM AN INVESTIGATION AND DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THIS FREQUENT FLOODING CONDITION. 
          UM, SO AS A RESULT OF THIS INVESTIGATION, THE CITY IDENTIFIED THE ARLINGTON PARK DRAINAGE BASIN IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT TO IMPROVE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY. 
          AGAIN, THE GOAL IS TO DECREASE THE FREQUENCY IN WHICH THAT BRAND ROAD PEDESTRIAN TUNNEL FLOODS. 
          SO THERE'S, UM, MULTIPLE THINGS THAT THIS PROJECT IS DOING, WHICH IS LISTED HERE ON THE SCREEN. 
          SO THE PROJECT, THE MAIN THING IS THIS PROJECT IS WE WILL BE ADJUSTING THE FLOOD ROUTING OF THE DRAINAGE BASIN IN ARLINGTON PARK, WHICH IS, AGAIN SHOWN ON THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT THERE AWAY FROM THE PEDESTRIAN TUNNEL. 
          SO IF YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, THE GREEN LINE KIND OF AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT. 
          SO CURRENTLY WHEN THE PEDESTRIAN OR WHEN THE ARLINGTON PARK, UH, BASIN, UH, FLOODS, AND IT'S BASICALLY A TWO YEAR STORM EVENT, IT FLOODS INTO THE PEDESTRIAN TUNNEL. 
          SO WE'RE TRYING TO AVOID THAT SITUATION AND INSTEAD HAVE THE FLOOD ROUTING OCCUR AT A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LOCATION, WHICH HAS SHOWN THOSE GREEN LINES THERE, UM, TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF THE SCREEN. 
          THAT'S THE MAIN ASPECT OF THIS PROJECT. 
          WE'RE ALSO RAISING THE EMBANKMENT ON THE NORTH END OF THE BASIN AND REGRADING AROUND THE BASIN PERIMETER TO INCREASE STORAGE CAPACITY JUST SO WE CAN HOLD MORE WATER WHEN IT RAINS. 
          THAT WAS ANOTHER BIG PART OF THIS PROJECT. 
          SO, BY DOING SO, UM, WE'VE, WE HAVE, UM, A STORM WATER MANAGEMENT REPORT THAT WAS PRETTY COMPREHENSIVE. 
          WE'RE SHOWING THAT WE CAN FULLY CONTAIN THE A HUNDRED YEAR STORM EVENT, WHICH IS WHAT OUR CODE REGULATES UP TO IS A HUNDRED YEAR STORM EVENT, UM, FULLY CONTAIN THAT AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE BASIN. 
          UM, THE PROJECT WILL ALSO INCREASE THE STORM PIPE OUTLET, UH, FOR THE DRAINAGE BASIN FROM A 24 INCH TO A 36 INCH. 
          THAT, UH, OUTLET ALSO DRAINS DIRECTLY INTO NORTH FORK CONTAIN RUN. 
          SO WE HAD ANALYSIS DONE CALCULATIONS TO MAKE SURE BY UPSIZING THAT PIPE WE WEREN'T CAUSING ANY DOWNSTREAM FLOODING. 
          SO WE'RE THE ANSWERS, WERE NOT DOING THAT. 
          WE FEEL CONFIDENT IN THE CALCULATIONS. 
          UM, AND THEN ALSO THE, UH, THE PROJECT WILL CREATE A BERM ON THE NORTH SIDE OF BRAND ROAD TO REDUCE THE FREQUENCY. 
          THE BRAND ROAD PEDESTRIAN TUNNEL FLOODS FROM NORTH FORK INDIAN RUN. 
          SO THE OTHER THING THAT'S INTERESTING, WHAT THIS PROJECT, IF YOU LOOK KIND OF TOWARDS THE NORTH SIDE OF BRAND ROAD, YOU CAN SEE IN BLUE THERE, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT HARD TO SEE, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A LOW POINT THERE. 
          WE WANTED TO CREATE A BERM SO WHEN IT RAINS, THE ACTUALLY NORTH FORK INDIAN RUN AT TIMES WOULD OVERTOP THAT AREA AND THEN THAT WATER WOULD GET INTO THE PEDESTRIAN TUNNEL. 
          SO WE WANTED TO ELIMINATE THAT CONCERN BY CREATING A BERM THERE. 
          SO THERE WAS, AGAIN, MULTIPLE THINGS THAT ARE BEING IMPROVED AS PART OF THIS PROJECT, UH, PRESENTLY. 
          AND THIS IS THE SAME SCHEDULE AS THE WATERWAYS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. 
          THE PROJECT IS PLANNED TO BE ADVERTISED FOR BIDS HERE NEXT MONTH, UH, WITH CONSTRUCTION PLAN TO COMMENCE IN FALL OF 2025 AND THEN COMPLETE BY SPRING OF 2026. 
          THE OTHER THING I REALLY WANT TO MAKE A NOTE OF IS, UH, THE CITY OF DUBLIN WAS AWARDED $468,000 IN GRANT FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT 
          [02:25:01]
THROUGH THE ONE-TIME STRATEGIC COMMUNITY INVESTMENT FUND FROM THE STATE OF OHIO. 
          SO THAT, THAT WAS GREAT NEWS FOR US. 
          THE PROJECT REQUIRES THE ACQUISITION OF A PERMANENT DRAINAGE EASEMENT AND TEMPORARY EASEMENT FROM THE PROPERTY AT 55 84 BRAND ROAD. 
          AS SHOWN ON THE SLIDE, THE PERMANENT DRAINAGE EASEMENT IS NEEDED FOR CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS AND, AND MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE UTILITIES, WHICH ARE STANDARD PRACTICE WHEN WE'RE GETTING UTILITY EASEMENTS IS JUST TO COVER BOTH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC, JUST SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE GENERIC AND FLEXIBLE. 
          UM, THE MAIN REASON FOR THAT IS WE, WE NEED THAT EASEMENT FOR THAT UPSIZE 36 INCH PIPE. 
          UM, THAT'S, UH, LETTING THE BASIN, UH, THE TEMPORARY EASEMENT IS NEEDED FOR CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS FOR THE PROJECT, WHICH AGAIN, IS RELATED TO THAT BERM ON THE NORTH SIDE OF BRAND ROAD THAT I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY. 
          THE CITY HAS PARTICIPATED IN GOOD FAITH DISCUSSIONS WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS, UM, AND HAVE ARRIVED AT MUTUALLY AGREEABLE TERMS AS DETAILED IN THE STAFF MEMO THERE. 
          THESE ARE THE ONLY NEEDED ACQUISITIONS FOR THIS PROJECT AND ALL WERE AGREED UPON AT THE APPRAISED VALUES. 
          AND WITH THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS COUNCIL ADOPTION OF ORDINANCES 28 DASH 25 AND 29 DASH 25 OF THE SECOND, READING A PUBLIC HEARING ON JULY 1ST, 2025. 
          AND WITH THAT, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT CITY COUNCIL MAY HAVE REGARDING, UH, THESE ORDINANCES. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WANNA TAKE A MOMENT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT THIS EVENING FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK RELATIVE TO THESE ORDINANCES? HEARING NONE COUNCIL QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION, THE EARTH AND BERM TO THE NORTH SIDE OF BRAND ROAD, THERE'S A, A PEDESTRIAN PATH, UH, LOOKS LIKE A SHARED USE PATH. 
          SO HOW, HOW WILL YOU ADDRESS THE EARTH AND BERM AND THE THAT, UH, GO TO THIS PREVIOUS SLIDE MORE? YEAH. 
          LET'S SEE. 
          THAT'S A BETTER LOOK. 
          YEAH, RIGHT THERE. 
          THAT BLUE, THERE'S A, A PATH THAT BISECTS THAT. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO WE'RE REALLY NOT IMPACTING THAT PATH. 
          SO BY, BY THE TIME WE GET TO THAT POINT, WE'RE REALLY HITTING THE SAME GRADE. 
          SO WE'RE, WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE NOT ALTERING PROFILE OR DRIVABILITY RIDEABILITY OF THE SHARED USE PATH IN THAT AREA. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN ON THE NEXT, THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          SURE. 
          UM, THERE, THE LOWER RIGHT, THE, UH, PERMANENT DRAINAGE EASEMENT, THERE'S A HUGE SYCAMORE TREE MM-HMM . 
          THERE. 
          I'M ASSUMING YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ANYWHERE NEAR THAT. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO YEAH, AND THAT WAS PART OF ITERATIONS OF WORKING WITH, UH, EMH AND T AS THE DESIGN CONSULTANT FOR THIS PROJECT. 
          SO WE'RE ACTUALLY CUTTING DIAGONALLY ACROSS BRAND ROAD AND THAT IS SPECIFICALLY TO AVOID THAT TREE. 
          OKAY. 
          IT'S A LOT EASIER TO GO PERPENDICULAR, LESS IMPACTS OF THE ROADWAY. 
          UM, WE ANTICIPATE THIS, UNFORTUNATELY BEING OPEN CUT. 
          IT'S JUST AN EASIER WAY TO CONSTRUCT, WE'LL GET IN AND OUT OF THERE QUICKER, BUT IT IS GOING TO BE A DIAGONAL OKAY. 
          CROSSING FOR THAT EXACT REASON. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHERS? THAT'LL PROBABLY HELP YOUR EROSION. 
          THAT DIAGONAL CUT COMING. 
          OH, I'M SORRY. 
          UM, I HAD A QUICK QUESTION. 
          UM, I WALK AND BIKE THAT AROUND THAT POND REGULARLY AND OF COURSE THE WALKERS AND HAVE CREATED THEIR OWN WALKING PATHS AROUND THAT, THAT DON'T ALIGN WITH THE CURRENT WALKING PATHS. 
          SO ARE YOU GONNA REALIGN SOME OF THE WALKING PATHS AROUND THAT WHEN YOU, SO THE MAJORITY OF THE PATH RECONSTRUCTION IS LOCATED KIND OF ON THE NORTHERN END OF THE BASIN. 
          SO I HAVE UP ON, THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST SLIDE TO BE ABLE TO SEE THIS, UM, KIND OF WHERE IT SAYS POND EMBANKMENT CONSTRUCTION. 
          YEAH. 
          SO WE'RE, WE'RE REALLY NEEDING TO REGRADE THAT AREA, SO WE'RE SLIGHTLY RECONFIGURING THE SHARED USE PATH IN THAT AREA. 
          UM, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE ARE LARGELY KEEPING KIND OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE, SHE'S PATH AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE BASIN. 
          SO THAT IS GOOD. 
          THE BACK PART OF THAT FLOODS ALL THE TIME. 
          SO I'M, I'M ASSUMING YOU'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THAT. 
          SO NOT THE POINT WHERE YOU'RE FIXING, BUT THE, UH, THE, I GUESS THAT WOULD BE THEN THE SOUTH SIDE, RIGHT? IT EVERY TIME IT RAINS, THAT FLOODS BAD. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND I THINK IT'S JUST A, AGAIN, THE, THE BASIN IS UNDER CAPACITY, UNFORTUNATELY IT DOESN'T HOLD ENOUGH VOLUME, SO IT JUST STARTS OVER TOPPING. 
          SO THAT COULD ALSO BE AN AREA WHERE IT OVERTOPS WHILE IT OVERTOPS INTO THAT PEDESTRIAN TUNNEL. 
          SO ALL OF THAT'S GETTING ADDRESSED WITH THIS PROJECT. 
          AND I'M ASSUMING YOU'RE GONNA FIX SOME OF THE VEGETATION BECAUSE THE BEAVERS HAVE TAKEN DOWN A FAIR NUMBER OF THE TREES THERE RIGHT. 
          OVER TIME AND IT'S REALLY KIND OF CUTE, BUT . 
          RIGHT. 
          AND, AND SO UNFORTUNATELY WITH THIS PROJECT, THERE WERE SEVERAL TREES RIGHT ALONG THE EDGE OF THE BASIN THAT NEEDED TO COME OUT BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO REGRADE AROUND THE BASIN TO EXPAND THE FOOTPRINT OF THE BASIN. 
          SO WE'RE VERY COGNIZANT OF PUTTING BACK AS MANY TREES AS REASONABLE IN THIS AREA. 
          'CAUSE I KNOW THERE, THERE WERE SOME CURRENT CONCERNS ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TREES THAT WERE TAKEN DOWN. 
          SO WE'RE VERY, UH, METHODICAL AND SPECIFIC ABOUT TRYING TO PUT BACK AS MANY TREES AS POSSIBLE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I DID HAVE ONE, WHEN WE WERE STARTING TO HEAR ABOUT THIS, THESE FLOODING IN INCIDENTS THROUGH HERE, UM, THEY WERE ALSO REFERENCING THE BRISTOL COMMONS POND OVER THERE AND EROSION ALONG THE, THE FOOTPATHS 
          [02:30:01]
AND THINGS. 
          UM, WILL THAT WILL HAVE THOSE, WERE THOSE CORRECTIONS MADE WITH THE BANK STABILIZATION OVER IN THAT AREA? OR ARE THEY GOING TO BE A PORTION BE ADDRESSED AT THIS TIME? SO THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. 
          SO WE'RE ACTUALLY, UM, WE'VE BEEN, WE'VE CONTRACTED WITH EM H AND T, SO THEY HAD DONE THAT INITIAL ANALYSIS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. 
          THERE WAS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT, I BELIEVE IT WAS LABOR DAY OF 2022 MAYBE, UM, WHERE THERE WAS A LOT OF ISSUES THAT KIND OF CAME TO LIGHT. 
          SO I KNOW THERE WAS A PUBLIC MEETING WITH THE RESIDENTS OVER THERE. 
          SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE A PROJECT, IT'S, WE CALL IT OUR BRISTOL, UH, COMMONS AND PARK PLACE. 
          TWO DIFFERENT BASINS WHERE WE'RE GONNA BE MAKING SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THOSE BASINS. 
          UM, SO PLANS ARE, PLAN PREPARATION IS UNDERWAY FOR THAT. 
          UM, ENGINEERING'S GONNA BE REQUESTING A CIP PROJECT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THAT PROJECT NEXT YEAR. 
          I KNOW THAT'S STILL SUBJECT TO DISCUSSIONS HERE COMING UP LATER THIS YEAR ABOUT CIP. 
          BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD TO ADDRESS CONCERNS THAT HAVE ARISEN BASED ON RESIDENTS OUT THERE IN THAT AREA. 
          AND THAT EMERGENCY OVERFLOW CALCULATION WOULD'VE BEEN PART OF THE CALCULATION OF THE 24 TO 36 INCH EXIT. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          YES. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME. 
          ALRIGHT, THIS IS SCHEDULED FOR SECOND READING, PUBLIC HEARING FOR TUESDAY, JULY 1ST, 2025. 
          SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO UPDATES AT THAT POINT IN TIME.

          UM, TO SUPPORT THAT MOVE AND THE PURCHASE OF THEIR BUILDING, UH, WE'VE, UM, PROPOSED AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT OF A ONE-TIME $60,000 GRANT, UM, THAT WOULD HELP WITH CONSTRUCTION AND OUTFITTING OF THEIR PROPERTY THAT THEY'RE LOOKING TO PURCHASE, ALONG WITH A PER PERFORMANCE WITHHOLDING INCENTIVE, UM, OF VALUED AT ABOUT $13,000. 
          UH, AND THAT IS BASED ON A 10% OF THEIR NET NEW JOBS THAT WOULD BE ACQUIRED FROM YEARS 2027 TO 2029 DURING THAT DURATION. 
          UM, TOTAL ESTIMATED PAYROLL WITHHOLDINGS WITH THAT IS ABOUT $623,000. 
          AND, UH, THAT WOULD BE THROUGH THE END OF 2029 ALSO. 
          SO, UM, JUST HIGHLIGHTS AGAIN, KIND OF OUR REPUTATION WITHIN THE REGION, UH, AND, AND HOW WE TREAT OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY.

          READING, PUBLIC HEARING FOR JULY 1ST, 2025 BRINGS US TO ORDINANCE 31 
          [Ordinance 31-25]
DASH 25 AUTHORIZING THE PROVISION OF CERTAIN INCENTIVES TO HYLAND GROUP INC. 
          TO INDUCE IT, TO LEASE A FACILITY TO RELOCATE, AN EXPAND AN OFFICE, AND ITS ASSOCIATED OPERATIONS AND WORKFORCE ALL WITHIN THE CITY AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. 
          I'LL DO SO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND WE WILL STICK WITH LUKE FOR OUR STAFF REPORT. 
          THANK YOU AGAIN, MAYOR. 
          UM, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM HAS ALSO BEEN IN TALKS WITH HIGHLAND GROUP, UM, WHO IS A CURRENT RESIDENT OF DUBLIN, CURRENTLY LOCATED AT 5 65 METRO PLACE SOUTH. 
          UM, AND HYLAND HAS AFFIRMED THEIR, UH, INTENTION TO REMAIN IN DUBLIN, UM, FOR AT LEAST A, UH, POTENTIALLY EIGHT YEAR LEASE, UH, RENEWAL, UM, MOVING FORWARD. 
          AND SO IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THEIR COMMITMENT, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM HAS PROPOSED A ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, UH, WITH A ONE-TIME $8,000 GRANT, UM, TO HELP WITH EXPANSION AND OUTFITTING OF THEIR CURRENT OFFICE SPACE. 
          AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, A WITHHOLDING INCENTIVE VALUED AT $53,000 OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD, UH, FROM 2026 TO 2028, UH, TOTAL PAYROLL ES TOTAL ESTIMATED PAYROLL WITHHOLDINGS DURING THAT TIME, UH, WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $687,000. 
          UM, FOR ELIGIBILITY. 
          HYLAND WILL JUST NEED TO RENEW THEIR LEASE FOR A MINIMUM OF FIVE YEARS. 
          BUT WITH THAT, UM, THEIR CONFIDENCE IN THE CITY OF 
          [02:35:01]
DUBLIN AND THE METRO CENTER REDEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE THAT WE'VE EMBARKED ON THE THE LAST 18, 24 MONTHS, UM, HAS REALLY KIND OF SPARKED THEIR CONFIDENCE TO SAY THEY WANT TO BE, THEY WANNA REMAIN IN DUBLIN, THEY WANT TO BE A RESIDENT HERE, AND THEY WANT TO BE IN METRO SPECIFICALLY. 
          SO, AGAIN, JUST SPEAKS VOLUMES TO THE WORK THAT WE'VE ALL DONE AS, AS A COMMUNITY, AS A CITY, UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY HAS ALL THE TOOLS THEY NEED, ALL THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS, WHICH, WHICH AREN'T EASY RIGHT. 
          TO, TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER THEY WANT TO BE HERE OR NOT BE HERE. 
          SO THEY REALLY EXPRESS THEIR, THEIR GRATITUDE FOR US BEING SO TRANSPARENT WITH THEM. 
          SO, UM, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS, UM, ORDINANCE AT THE JULY 1ST MEETING. 
          AND AGAIN, HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. 
          WANNA TAKE A MOMENT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT THIS EVENING THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK RELATIVE TO THIS ORDINANCE? HEARING NONE COUNCIL QUESTION DISCUSSION. 
          I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION. 
          YOU DIDN'T MENTION HOW MANY EMPLOYEES THEY HAVE. 
          YOU SAID, I'M SORRY. 
          IT WAS A FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS. 
          IT'S NOT IN THE MEMO, SO I WOULDN'T EXPECT YES. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          I I CAN GET THAT TO YOU. 
          YEAH, IT'S, THE ONLY REASON I ASK THIS IS BECAUSE BEING A FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS AND SEEING WHAT THE, UM, THE APPROXIMATE, UH, PAYROLL WITH HOLDINGS WERE, IT SEEMS AS IF THE SMALLER BUSINESS, AND I GUESS WHAT I WANNA SAY IS I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL THAT WE'RE, WE'RE DOING THIS FOR OUR SMALLER BUSINESSES BECAUSE, UM, WE DO INCENTIVES FOR REALLY LARGE ONES, WHICH OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD LIKE, WOULD LIKE THE LARGER ONES. 
          BUT SO MUCH OF OUR INCOME COMES FROM SMALL BUSINESS IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND OFTENTIMES I THINK WE MIGHT NOT, WE MIGHT OVERLOOK THE, THE LITTLE BIT OF MONEY THAT MIGHT BE NECESSARY TO KEEP 'EM HERE OR TO ATTRACT THEM. 
          SO I WANNA COMPLIMENT, UH, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FOR, UM, BEING AWARE THAT THESE SMALL BUSINESSES CAN USE THESE KINDS OF INCENTIVES. 
          AND I'M, I'M REALLY GLAD TO SEE THIS COME THROUGH LIKE THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          MM-HMM . 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          AND AGAIN, THIS WAS A, AN EFFORT OF US BEING TRANSPARENT WITH OUR, OUR SMALLER BUSINESSES, ESPECIALLY IN METRO, UM, AS RUMBLINGS BEGAN OF, HEY, WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING OVER THERE? HOW IS THIS GONNA IMPACT US? AND WE'RE LOOKING TO MUTE, MAYBE WE'RE NOT LOOKING. 
          AND, UH, AGAIN, THIS WAS JUST A, A, A GREAT SUCCESS STORY OF US, US AND OUR TRANSPARENCY. 
          SO APPRECIATE THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? UH, WE WILL SCHEDULE THIS FOR A SECOND HEARING PUBLIC, SECOND READING, PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE JULY 1ST, 2025 MEETING WITH THAT ORDINANCE. 
          32 
          [Ordinance 32-25]
DASH 25 RENAMING A PORTION OF IMAN ROAD TO HERITAGE BOULEVARD IN THE CITY OF DUBLIN, OHIO. 
          I'LL DO THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND OUR STAFF REPORT WILL BE YOU. 
          WE'LL GO BACK TO MICHAEL HENDERSON. 
          WELCOME BACK. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I'M PINCH HITTING FOR PAUL HAMMERSMITH THIS EVENING. 
          UH, LEMME PULL THIS UP HERE. 
          OKAY. 
          GOOD EVENING AGAIN. 
          MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, UH, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING IS AN ORDINANCE TO RENAME A PORTION OF IMAN ROAD TO HERITAGE BOULEVARD. 
          SO IN DECEMBER OF 2024, CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED RESOLUTION 65 DASH 24, ACCEPTING THE LOWEST AND BEST BID FOR THE IMAN ROAD RELOCATION PROJECT. 
          THIS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, UM, AND WILL REALIGN A SEGMENT OF IRMAN ROAD FROM THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE CURRENT ROUNDABOUT AT THE INTERSECTION OF STATE ROUTE 1 61 POST ROAD TO A PROPOSED ROUNDABOUT APPROXIMATELY 1300 FEET SOUTH OF STATE ROUTE 1 61 POST ROAD. 
          SO IT'S PROBABLY EASIER TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE VISUAL ON THE SCREEN SO YOU CAN SEE THE EXISTING ROUND OF, OR THE EXISTING EMAN ROAD KIND OF DIAGONALLY THERE. 
          UM, SO THAT'LL BE RELOCATED TO WHAT'S BASICALLY SHOWN IN GREEN THERE. 
          AND YOU SEE THE ROADWAY, UH, THIS PORTION OF ROADWAY IS PROPOSED TO BE RENAMED TO CLARIFY WAY FINDING TO THE TRAVELING PUBLIC. 
          AND TO AVOID ANY CONFUSION WITH THE PROVISIONS OF EMERGENCY SERVICE, THE EASTERN LEG OF THE PROPOSED ROUNDABOUT WILL RETAIN THE NAME IMAN ROAD AND RECONNECT TO THE EXISTING ALIGNMENT OF IMAN ROAD. 
          UM, SO WE'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT, AS AGAIN SHOWN ON THE SLIDE AS A GOOD VISUAL OF THIS. 
          IT'S FROM THE ROUNDABOUT AT 1 61. 
          UM, STARTING AS YOU GO TO THE SOUTH THERE, THERE'S A PROPOSED ROUNDABOUT FROM THAT POINT, AS YOU GO EAST, THAT WILL REMAIN DERMAN ROAD. 
          AND THEN OBVIOUSLY IMAN ROAD WILL CONTINUE TO BE NAMED DERMAN ROAD AS YOU GET BACK TO THE EXISTING ALIGNMENT. 
          SO THIS KIND OF ZOOMS OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE KIND OF A LONG TERM PLAN ROADWAY NETWORK IN THIS AREA. 
          UM, SO STAFF PROPOSES RENAMING THE NORTHERN PORTION OF IMAN ROAD TO HERITAGE BOULEVARD, AGAIN FROM STATE ROUTE 1 61 POST ROAD TO THE REALIGNED IMAN ROAD ROUNDABOUT FOR CONSISTENCY. 
          HERITAGE BOULEVARD IS ANTICIPATED, UM, WILL EVENTUALLY CONTINUE FURTHER TO THE SOUTH, CONNECTING TO THE ROUNDABOUT AT IMAN ROAD AND HERITAGE BOULEVARD SOUTH TO THE FUTURE PHASE OF UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD. 
          SO BASICALLY WHERE, UM, THAT, UH, NEW STREET THAT SAYS FUTURE ROAD 
          [02:40:01]
PRO PROPOSED HERITAGE BOULEVARD, IF AS YOU CONTINUE TO THE SOUTH, THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE NAMED HERITAGE BOULEVARD IN THE FUTURE AS THAT EX AS THAT EXTENSION IS CONSTRUCTED. 
          UH, THIS PROPOSED RENAMING HAS BEEN CLOSELY COORDINATED WITH OUR PLANNING STAFF, THE NORTHWEST REGIONAL EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION CENTER, ALSO KNOWN AS N REC, THE FRANKLIN COUNTY ENGINEER'S OFFICE, AND OHIO UNIVERSITY STAFF WHO ALL FULLY SUPPORT THE NAME CHANGE. 
          THERE ARE NO EXISTING ADDRESSES FROM THIS PORTION OF ROADWAY AS THE OU CAMPUS IS ADDRESSED OFF OF BOBCAT WAY. 
          UH, THERE ARE NO, UH, AS I SAID, NO EXISTING ADDRESSES FROM THIS PORTION OF ROADWAY AND THERE ARE NO SIMILAR ROADWAY NAMES IN THE SURROUNDING AREA, UM, IN BAN OR IN THE SURROUNDING AREA. 
          SO WITH THAT, STAFF RECOMMENDS COUNCIL ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 32 DASH 25 AT THE SECOND READING OF PUBLIC HEARING ON JULY 1ST, 2025. 
          AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT COUNSEL MAY HAVE REGARDING THIS ORDINANCE. 
          VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. 
          TAKE A MOMENT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT THIS EVENING THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK RELATIVE TO THIS ORDINANCE? HEARING NONE COUNSEL QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION? UH, SO I, I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION. 
          SO HERITAGE BOULEVARD WILL RUN FROM 1 61 TO COS GRAY ROAD? YEAH, SO BASICALLY AT THE ROUNDABOUT AT 1 61, UM, UH, YOU CAN'T SEE MY CURSOR HERE, BUT, SO IT'S THE WHERE ITEM AND ROAD BASICALLY KIND OF OVERLAPS OVER AT 1 61. 
          SO IT WOULD CONTINUE DOWN TO THE SOUTH. 
          THERE'S A PROPOSED ROUNDABOUT THERE AT THE, UH, BASICALLY WHERE EMAN ROADS BEING RELOCATED TO WHERE, WHAT WE'RE CALLING HERITAGE, UH, BOULEVARD. 
          AND THEN FROM THAT POINT IN THE FUTURE THAT AT THAT ROUNDABOUT THERE, AS YOU CONTINUE FURTHER TO THE SOUTHWEST, WE WOULD ALSO ANTICIPATE CALLING THAT HERITAGE BOULEVARD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE PROPOSED UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD. 
          IT IS CALLING OUT AS A POTENTIAL ROUNDABOUT, BUT BASICALLY WE'RE SUB AREA TWO ON THE SCREEN, KIND OF THE WESTERN PORTION THERE THAT ROUNDABOUT IT WOULD, IT WOULD EXTEND ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THERE. 
          SO WHAT WOULD BE COS COS GRAY ROAD TO THE ROUNDABOUT ADJACENT TO SUB AREA TWO, THAT THAT IS HERITAGE BOULEVARD AS WELL? I BELIEVE SO THAT WOULD, THAT'S, WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT WHEN THAT COMES ONLINE. 
          BUT THAT SEEMS LOGICAL TO CONTINUE THAT ROAD NAME ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO COS GRAY ROAD. 
          BUT IF THAT, I, I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO HAVE IT BE HERITAGE BOULEVARD FROM 1 61 ALL THE WAY TO COS GRAY. 
          UH, THAT, THAT SEEMS LOGICAL. 
          WE'LL, WE'LL HAVE, WHEN WE TALK TO N REC AND OTHER FOLKS, UM, WE'LL MAKE SURE WE VET THAT OUT, MAKE SURE THERE'S NOTHING WE'RE NOT THINKING ABOUT THERE. 
          BUT I AGREE THAT SEEMS LIKE A LOGICAL THING TO DO. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN, UM, IT WOULD JUST BE NICE TO GET SOME OF THAT NOMENCLATURE IN THERE BEFORE ANYBODY STARTS LOOKING REAL HARD AT IT. 
          UM, AND THEN THE PROPOSED UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD THAT WILL EXTEND PAST THAT ROUNDABOUT IN WHAT WOULD BE THE FUTURE HERITAGE BOULEVARD, THAT NOMENCLATURE WILL CONTINUE ALL THE WAY DOWN RIGHT. 
          TO THE OSU FACILITY, CORRECT? CORRECT. 
          OKAY, VERY GOOD. 
          NO OTHER QUESTIONS. 
          UH, AGAIN, THIS WILL BE SCHEDULED FOR SECOND READING, PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE JULY 1ST, 2025 MEETING. 
          UH, THIS BRINGS 
          [Resolution 36-25]

          THE POLITICAL SUBDIVISION WHERE THE NONPROFIT BUSINESS IS LOCATED, UH, COMMONLY CALLED THE HOST CITY THAT WOULD BE DUBLIN IN THIS CASE, MUST APPROVE THE AMOUNT BEING FINANCED, UM, RELATED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC GOOD. 
          UM, THIS, IN THIS CASE, $40 MILLION FOR UPGRADING TECHNOLOGY AND SERVERS. 
          AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE CITY IS NOT ISSUING OR RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OBLIGATIONS. 
          UH, FURTHER, THERE ARE NO TAX DOLLARS OF THE CITY INVOLVED. 
          THIS IS MERELY APPROVAL TO ALLOW THE FRANKLIN, UH, THE COLUMBUS FRANKLIN COUNTY FINANCE AUTHORITY TO ISSUE THESE OBLIGATIONS. 
          UH, THIS IS SIMILAR TO RESOLUTION 70 20 THAT WAS PASSED BY THIS COUNCIL ON NOVEMBER 24TH, UH,

2020. 
          UH, FOR OCLC, UH, WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION. 
          I I, I'M VERY CURIOUS. 
          IT JUST SAYS, COST OF RENOVATION TO ITS FACILITY. 
          WE'VE HAD OCLC HERE FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. 
          I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUS WHAT THE RENOVATIONS WOULD BE. 
          ARE THEY ADDING ON OR JUST RENOVATING EXISTING SPACE? IF YOU'RE GONNA ANSWER, WE'RE GONNA NEED YOU TO STEP TO THE MICROPHONE AND GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD, PLEASE. 
          MY NAME IS TONY K FROM LAW FIRM ESQUIRE, PATENT BOGGS 41 SOUTH HIGH STREET, COLUMBUS, UH, ALSO RESIDENT OF DUBLIN. 
          SO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE. 
          UH, ACTUALLY WHAT'S BEING FINANCED HERE IS, UH, EQUIPMENT. 
          SO, UM, COMPUTERS, COMPUTER SERVERS, UH, SOFTWARE. 
          UM, THEY DO THIS TYPICALLY ON ABOUT A FIVE YEAR BASIS. 
          UH, SO IT, IT'S ALMOST, UM, FLOW FINANCING, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          UM, AND WE'VE DONE SEVERAL OF THESE IN THE PAST WITH OCLC. 
          UH, BUT YES, IT'S, IT'S MOSTLY JUST THOSE KIND OF COMPUTER ASSETS. 
          THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION.

          RESOLUTION 37 DASH 
          [Resolution 37-25]
25 ACCEPTING THE LOWEST AND BEST BID FOR THE ANNUAL SANITARY SEWER AND STORMWATER MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. 
          GREAT. 
          BACK TO BACK TO MICHAEL FOR OUR STAFF REPORT. 
          FREQUENT FLYER TONIGHT. 
          YES. 
          UH, GOOD EVENING AGAIN, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, UH, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING IS THE RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT THE LOWEST AND BEST BID FOR THE ANNUAL SANITARY SEWER AND STORMWATER MAINTENANCE PROGRAM 2025. 
          SO PROGRAM DETAILS, THE PROGRAM INCLUDES THE TASK ORDER MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF THE CITY'S SANITARY SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. 
          WORK IS DETERMINED DURING OUR TUNE ROUTINE SYSTEM INSPECTIONS, RESIDENT REQUESTS, OR ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS. 
          LOCATIONS FOR THIS WORK ARE ANYWHERE THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF DUBLIN. 
          AND THEN THE WHY BEHIND THIS IS THE PROGRAM IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN'S ONGOING EFFORT TO MAINTAIN ITS SANITARY SEWER AND STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          AND THEN FROM A REGULATORY STANDPOINT, UH, TO MEET THE OHIO EPAS DIRECTORS FINAL FINDINGS AND ORDERS THAT WAS AGREED UPON BY DUBLIN ON FEBRUARY 11TH, 2009. 
          AND THEN ON THE STORMWATER SIDE, PART OF OUR MS FOUR REQUIREMENTS, THE NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM, PHASE TWO REGULATIONS, WHICH IS REGULATED BY THE OHIO EPA. 
          SO THIS, THIS, UH, PROGRAM IS REALLY FURTHERING THOSE OBJECTIVES. 
          STAFF CONDUCTED A COMPETITIVE BID PROCESS FOR THE PROGRAM. 
          THE PROGRAM IS FUNDED FROM THE 2025 TO 2029 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM AND THE AMOUNT OF 110,000 FOR THE ANNUAL SANITARY STEWARD MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. 
          AND $120,000 FOR THE ANNUAL STORMWATER MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. 
          THE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE, UH, ESTIMATED, AND THIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN OUR TYPICAL PROJECTS, THIS IS A UNIT HOUR PRICING AND NOT JUST AN OVERALL, UH, COST FOR A PROJECT. 
          IT'S THE UNIT HOUR PRICING FOR THIS PROGRAM. 
          OUR ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE WAS $2,883. 
          SO AGAIN, THAT, THAT IS, THERE'S, IF YOU LOOK IN THE BID DOCS, THERE'S 17 COMMON WORK ITEMS, WHETHER IT'S A DIFFERENT TYPE OF EQUIPMENT, A LABOR SUPERINTENDENT. 
          SO THERE IS AN HOURLY RATE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT THAT, UM, OUR BIDDER PUT IN. 
          SO THE SUMMATION OF ALL OF THOSE LINE ITEMS IS HOW WE CAME UP WITH, UM, WHAT CST UTILITIES, WHO IS THE ONE BIDDER ON THE PROJECT? THEIR BID WAS $2,702. 
          AND THEN THE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE WAS OUR ENGINEER DOING THE SAME THING. 
          THOSE 17 TYPICAL WORK ITEMS, WHAT IS THE UNIT HOUR COST AGAIN PER HOUR? WHAT IS THE COST FOR DIFFERENT TYPE OF EQUIPMENT FOR A FOREMAN, FOR A SUPERINTENDENT? ADDING ALL OF THOSE ITEMS UP TOGETHER. 
          THIS, THAT IS WHAT THAT THOSE NUMBERS REPRESENT, WHICH IS, AGAIN, BECAUSE THIS IS TASK ORDER, WE DON'T HAVE ALL OF THOSE LINE ITEMS USED FOR EVERY JOB. 
          THOSE ARE JUST MORE OF THE COMMON LINE ITEMS SO THAT IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN OUR TYPICAL CIP PROJECTS, BUT I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF BREAK THAT DOWN IN MORE DETAIL. 
          UM, SO ON, UH, 
          [02:50:01]
JUNE 4TH, JUNE 4TH, 2025, ONE BID WAS RECEIVED AND PUBLICLY OPENED CST UTILITIES LLC SUBMITTED THE LOWEST AND BEST BID OF $2,702 PER UNIT HOUR. 
          THE PROGRAM IS EXPECTED TO COMMENCE UPON THIS BID ACCEPTANCE AND SUBSEQUENT CONTRACT EXECUTION AND SHALL BE COMPLETED BY DECEMBER 31ST, 2026. 
          AND AS BEEN CUSTOMARY WITH THIS PROGRAM SINCE 2014, THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE ONE YEAR RENEWAL PERIODS WITH EACH EXPIRATION DATE EXPIRING ON DECEMBER 31ST, 2028. 
          SO FOR THIS FIRST BASE PERIOD, BECAUSE WE'RE INTO JUNE RIGHT NOW, UM, THE FIRST TERM OF THIS WILL BE THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR AND ALL OF NEXT YEAR. 
          SO ONCE WE GET TO THE END OF 2026, THERE'S THOSE ONE YEAR RENEWAL PERIOD OPTIONS. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT WOULD GET US TO THAT END OF 2028 TIMEFRAME. 
          AND WITH THAT, STAFF RECOMMENDS COUNCIL APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 27 DASH 25, ACCEPTING THE LOWEST AND BEST BID OF CST UTILITIES LLC IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,702 PER UNIT HOUR FOR THIS PROGRAM. 
          AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS COUNSEL MAY HAVE REGARDING THIS RESOLUTION. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WANNA TAKE A MOMENT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT THIS EVENING THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK RELATIVE TO THIS RESOLUTION? HEARING NONE COUNCIL QUESTIONS DISCUSSION. 
          JENNY, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE RULE VICE MAYOR LUDO? YES. 
          MR. REINER? YES. 
          MR. KEELER? YES. 
          MR. ROSA? YES. 
          MS. CRAM? YES. 
          MS. FOX? YES. 
          MAYOR AROSE GROOMS? YES. 
          [Resolution 38-25]
RESOLUTION 38 DASH 25 ADOPTING THE DOWNTOWN DUBLIN CURBSIDE MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          INTRODUCE IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND OUR STAFF REPORT WILL BE FROM TINA. 
          WELCOME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL TONIGHT WE'RE BACK TO PRESENT THE RESPONSE AND REVISIONS TO THE CURBSIDE MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          AS DISCUSSED AT THE MARCH 17TH AND MAY 19TH CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS, THE PLAN WAS CREATED TO MANAGE CURB USE, REDUCE CONFLICTS, AND SUPPORT DOWNTOWN DUBLIN'S ECONOMIC GROWTH. 
          AND THE TIMELINE SHOWS THE APPROACH TAKEN FROM 2022 TO TODAY FOR EVALUATING AND IMPLEMENTING CURBSIDE MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGIES WITH MILESTONES INCLUDING THE EXISTING CONDITIONS. 
          REVIEW 12 MONTHS TECHNOLOGY PILOTS, DATA COLLECTION, AND FINALIZING THE PLAN AND REPORT. 
          THE PLAN IDENTIFIES A DETAILED CURB TYPOLOGY, A CURBSIDE MANAGEMENT TOOLBOX, AND A TWO YEAR IMPLEMENTATION ACTION PLAN TO GUIDE EQUITABLE, SAFE AND EFFICIENT USE OF CURBSIDE SPACE, ALL OF WHICH ALIGN WITH THE CITY'S VISION FOR AN INCLUSIVE HIGH PERFORMANCE PUBLIC REALM. 
          AND DETAILS OF THE TWO YEAR ACTION PLAN ARE INCLUDED IN THE MEMO AND UPDATES FROM THE MAY COUNCIL. 
          FEEDBACK ARE SUMMARIZED HERE WITH THE ADDITIONS, INCLUDING THE LOADING ZONE EDUCATION COORDINATION WITH THE EV PARKING PLAN AND TO REVIEW THE STUDY AND DECRIMINALIZATION OF PARKING VIOLATIONS. 
          AND THE OTHER ELEMENTS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE PLAN ARE SHOWN ON THE RIGHT. 
          AND WITH THOSE UPDATES, THE STUDIES INCLUDED IN THE PACKET AND STAFF RECOMMENDS ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION. 
          I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. 
          IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT THIS EVENING FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK RELATIVE TO THIS RESOLUTION? HEARING NONE COUNCIL QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION. 
          WE DISCUSSED, UH, PARKING GARAGE CAPACITY SIGNS. 
          YEP. 
          ARE THOSE IN HERE? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          THANKS TINA. 
          UM, I NOTICED IN HERE THE VALET WAS GOING TO BE STUDIED FOR THE BRIDGE PARK AREA, BUT, UH, I GUESS I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO THINK THAT WE WOULD ALWAYS BE OPEN TO VALET IN WHATEVER AREAS ARE NEEDED BECAUSE I THINK WHEN RIVERVIEW VILLAGE, BECAUSE OF THE DISTANCE IT IS DOWN, YOU KNOW, DOWN THE SLOPE, UM, I'M NOT SURE IT'S NEEDED, BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT WE'D ALWAYS BE ABLE TO TAKE A LOOK TO SEE IF WE NEED TO BE LOOKING AT VALET SERVICES. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK AS CONDITIONS CHANGE AND, AND THINGS MOVE AROUND DOWN THERE, WE CAN RIGHT. 
          WE CAN EVALUATE THAT AS NEEDED, WHATEVER, WHATEVER IT NEEDS TO GET PEOPLE FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          THIS IS GREAT WORK. 
          THANKS. 
          OTHER COMMENTS? YOU KNOW, THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS IN THE MEMO, UH, OR SOME ITEMS I, I THINK YOU WERE LOOKING AT GETTING SOME FEEDBACK ON PERHAPS NOT. 
          UM, NUMBER NINE AND 10 OF COORDINATION OF THE EB PARKING PLAN AND THEN, UH, INITIATE A STUDY TO DECRIMINALIZE PARKING TICKETS. 
          SO THOSE WERE, THAT WAS AN ATTEMPT TO SUMMARIZE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT AT THE PREVIOUS MEETING AND THEN HOW THOSE WERE BEING INCORPORATED. 
          I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY CONFUSION THERE. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          UH, HOPE HOPEFULLY WE GET SOME EV PARKING INFORMATION 
          [02:55:01]
SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. 
          UH, IT'S, I I'VE SEEN A LOT OF ABUSE OF THE SYSTEM THAT'S IN PLACE NOW, SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO SOME THINGS TO, UM, MITIGATE THAT. 
          AND, UH, YOU KNOW, I I THINK IT'S ALSO JUST FOR ME, UH, LOOKING AT CHARGING FOR PARKING TO TRY TO RE RECOUP SOME OF THE, THE COSTS THAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, NOW THAT WE'VE ADDED A SPECIAL UNIT OF POLICE THERE AND, AND, YOU KNOW, OUR EXPENSES IN THE DISTRICT HAVE GONE UP AND I STILL THINK THAT IT'S PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA TO LOOK AT RECOUPING SOME OF OUR COSTS, UM, IF WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT TICKETING AND, UH, MONITORING THIS ON STREET CURBSIDE PARKING. 
          SO MY 2 CENTS ON THAT. 
          UH, ANY OTHER COUNCIL QUESTIONS DISCUSSION? I WILL JUST SECOND THAT. 
          I'M TOTALLY FINE WITH CHARGING FOR EV PARKING LIKE THAT. 
          I, THAT QUESTION NEVER GOT BROUGHT UP. 
          IT WAS JUST CURBSIDE PARKING, BUT EV PARKING, I'M TOTALLY SUPPORTIVE OF LOOKING INTO THAT. 
          I, I'D BE SUPPORTIVE OF CHARGING FOR BOTH OF THE EV PORTION AND THE ON-STREET PARKING, BECAUSE IF WE'RE GOING TO MONITOR IT, OUR COSTS KEEP GOING UP AND OUR RECOVERY IS NOTHING. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE IN THIS COMMUNITY WE HAVE A 50% COST RECOVERY FOR SWIMMING POOLS AND WE HAVE A NO PERCENT COST RECOVERY ON, ON-STREET PARKING THAT WE'RE MONITORING. 
          SO I THINK IT'S INCONSISTENT, BUT THAT'S JUST MY VOICE. 
          I I I HEAR YOU AND I AGREE WITH YOU. 
          AND I THINK IF WE'RE TRYING TO REALLY PUSH PEOPLE WHO, YOU KNOW, CAN PARK IN THE GARAGES TO PARK IN THE GARAGES, THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO DO IT. 
          SO I KNOW WE HAD DISCUSSED THIS AT LENGTH LAST TIME, AND I THINK IT WAS A CONSENSUS OF THE GROUP NOT TO CHARGE FOR ON STREET. 
          IT WAS, AND I, I, I, I HEAR YOU . 
          YOU CAN'T BLAME A GIRL FOR TRYING, CAN YOU? UM, I, I JUST THINK, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS I HEAR SO MUCH FROM PEOPLE, THE REASON THEY LIKE TO COME TO DUBLIN TO EAT IS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CAN GET PARKING AND IT'S FREE PARKING. 
          AND, AND FOR THE LITTLE BIT OF MONEY WE WOULD GET FOR ON STREET PARKING, I THINK WE WOULD BOOGER THAT UP. 
          SO I'M NOT SUPPORTIVE. 
          THE EV'S A DIFFERENT THING. 
          I THINK WE SHOULD, UH, FOR THAT. 
          BUT FOR THE ON STREET, I MEAN, THE VALUE FAR OUTWEIGHS THE SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY WE WOULD CAPTURE FROM MANAGING THAT AND MONITORING THAT. 
          SO YEAH, I, I AGREE WITH, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER DEROSA, I, I I THINK THERE'S, UM, A REAL, UM, ATTRACTION TO BEING ABLE TO QUICKLY FIND A SPOT, GO IN AND HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT. 
          AND I, I THINK WE'RE UNUSUAL IN THAT EV PARKING IS DEFINITELY DIFFERENT BECAUSE PEOPLE STAY THERE ALL DAY AND THEY DON'T, THEY DON'T TURN 'EM OVER AND IT'S FREE ELECTRICITY. 
          SO IT'S GETTING TOO COSTLY TO BE GIVEN THAT AWAY. 
          UM, BUT UM, SO THAT, THAT'S MY, I AGREE WITH THAT. 
          SO, UH, I WENT TO THE FARMER'S MARKET AND I DROVE THERE AND I PARKED IN A GARAGE AND, UM, THERE ARE CHARGING STATIONS, I THINK TWO ON EVERY FLOOR IN THE GARAGE THAT I WAS ON. 
          I CAN'T, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH GARAGE IT IS, BUT IT'S THE ONE TO THE FAR EAST. 
          UM, ANYWAY, IT'S ONE OF THE NEWER GARAGES, LOTS OF AVAILABLE EV PARKING. 
          UM, THERE WERE PROBABLY, I DON'T KNOW, 10 SPOTS IN THE GARAGE AND MAYBE TWO OF THEM WERE TAKEN. 
          UM, I DON'T KNOW WITH ALL THAT CAPACITY THAT WE EVEN NEED ON STREET CHARGING, BUT IF WE HAVE IT, I THINK IT SHOULD BE FREE TO PARK. 
          YOU PAY TO CHARGE.

          [Resolution 39-25]
DASH 25 ACCEPTING THE LOWEST AND BEST BID FOR THE MUIRFIELD DRIVE AT SALES MILL DRIVE. 
          PEDESTRIAN CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. 
          OKAY. 
          WE'LL STICK WITH TINA FOR OUR STAFF REPORT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND GOOD EVENING. 
          MEMBERS OF COUNCIL STAFF CONDUCTED A COMPETITIVE BID FOR THE MURFIELD DRIVE, SELLS MILL DRIVE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. 
          THE PROJECT INCLUDES A HIGH INTENSITY PEDESTRIAN ACTIVATED CROSSWALK OR A HAWK SIGNAL AT THE INTERSECTION OF MURFIELD AND SELLS MILL WITH CURB RAMP SIGNS, MARKINGS, AND A NEW SIDEWALK. 
          THIS PROJECT WAS FIRST IDENTIFIED IN THE 2020 HEIGHTENED AWARENESS CROSSWALK REPORT BY PROVIDING CONTROLLED CROSSING THAT STOPS TRAFFIC FOR PEDESTRIANS. 
          THE HAWK SIGNAL WILL NOT ONLY ENHANCE SAFETY, BUT ALSO ENCOURAGE WALKING AND BIKING BY IMPROVING CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE SIDEWALKS AND SHARED USE PATHS. 
          ON JUNE 3RD, 2025, TWO BIDS WERE RECEIVED AND PUBLICLY OPENED. 
          THE LOWEST BID WAS FROM THE DANBERT ELECTRIC CORPORATION, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO MEET ODO T'S DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE REQUIREMENTS. 
          AND THE NEXT BID FROM 
          [03:00:01]
COMPLETE GENERAL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY WAS $461,570 AND 86 CENTS, WHICH IS 39.9 OVER THE ORIGINAL ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE. 
          AND THE DIS DIFFERENCE, UM, FROM THE ESTIMATE REFLECTS THE HIGHER INDUSTRY PRICING ALONG WITH THE TIMING OF THE PROJECT AND THE SCALE. 
          AND THE PROJECT IS INCLUDED IN THE 2025 TO 2029 CIP. 
          AND THE CONSTRUCTION AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION FUNDING WILL COME THROUGH ODOT S AWARD THROUGH THE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PROGRAM TO, BASED ON THE APPLICATION PREPARED BY THE CITY OF DUBLIN IN COORDINATION WITH DUBLIN CITY SCHOOLS AND ODOT WILL INCREASE THE FUNDING TO 520,000 TO COVER THE CONSTRUCTION BASED ON THE BID PLUS THE CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION AND NO LOCAL MATCHES REQUIRED FOR THE PROJECT. 
          STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AS REP RESOLUTION RESOLUTION, ACCEPTING AS LOWEST AND BEST, THE BIT OF COMPLETE GENERAL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY IN THE AMOUNT OF 461,570 AND 86 CENTS FOR THIS PROJECT. 
          AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. 
          VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. 
          IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK RELATIVE TO THIS RESOLUTION? HEARING NONE COUNCIL QUESTIONS DISCUSSION.

40 DASH 25 AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A FACILITIES MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH SPORTS FACILITIES MANAGEMENT. 
          LLC. 
          I'LL INTRODUCE THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND OUR STAFF REPORT IS GOING TO BE DELIVERED BY MEGAN HAN. 
          MEGAN, GOOD EVENING. 
          YOU'RE TRICKING ME STANDING. 
          THERE SHE IS TRICKING YOU. 
          SHE'S GONNA BE ASSISTING. 
          IT'S, IT'S LATE, SO I'M EASY TO TRICK. 
          GOOD EVENING MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. 
          TONIGHT I'M PLEASED TO BRING A FACILITIES MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT BEFORE YOU FOR PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE SPORTS OHIO COMPLEX. 
          THIS AGREEMENT IS IN FURTHERANCE OF COUNCIL'S GOAL TO CREATE A PREMIER ATHLETIC COMPLEX. 
          SHOWN ON THE SCREEN IS A TIMELINE TO DATE, THE CITY ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2024. 
          A TEMPORARY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WAS NEGOTIATED WITH THE SHEPHERDS AND THAT AGREEMENT COMMITTED THEM TO CONTINUE MANAGING THE FACILITY FOR UP TO ONE YEAR, WHICH WOULD TAKE US TO SEPTEMBER OF 2025. 
          IN THE MEANTIME, WE FORMED A STEERING COMMITTEE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2024 AND BEGAN DISCUSSING THE FUTURE OF SPORTS OHIO AND SPORTS OHIO OPERATIONS BY REVIEWING RELATIVE RELEVANT PLANS AND KEY PROJECT UPDATES FOR THE AREA. 
          AND ALL OF THAT WAS FOR CONTEXT. 
          THE COMMITTEE DEVELOPED A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OR AN RFP. 
          WE ADVERTISED THAT RFP, WE EVALUATED THE PROPOSALS THAT WERE RECEIVED. 
          WE CONDUCTED INTERVIEWS WITH THE SHORTLISTED COMPANIES THAT PROPOSED AND THEN ULTIMATELY RECOMMENDED SPORTS FACILITIES COMPANY OR F-F-S-F-C ON MARCH 3RD, TWO, CITY COUNCIL FOLLOWING CITY COUNCIL'S APPROVAL OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION, THE CITY TEAM WORKING IN COLLABORATION ALSO WITH BAKER TILLY INITIATED CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS WITH SFC AND PENDING APPROVAL OF TONIGHT'S RESOLUTION. 
          SFC WOULD BEGIN A ONE MONTH MANAGEMENT OVERLAP TIMEFRAME WITH THE SHEPHERD TEAM TO SUPPORT A SMOOTH TRANSITION. 
          UM, AS A REMINDER ABOUT SPORTS FACILITIES COMPANY, THEY ARE A LEADING NATIONAL FIRM SPECIALIZING IN THE DEVELOPMENT, THE MANAGEMENT AND OPTIMIZATION OF SPORTS, RECREATION AND EVENTS VENUES FOUNDED IN 2003, SFC HAS SERVED MORE THAN 2000 COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE US OFFERING A FULL SUITE OF SERVICES FROM PLANNING AND FINANCING TO OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING. 
          THEIR PORTFOLIO INCLUDES A WIDE RANGE OF SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS WITH A FOCUS ON DELIVERING ECONOMIC IMPACT, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AND OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE. 
          JIM ARNOLD IS SFCS NATIONAL DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND HE IS HERE THIS EVENING TO SPEAK TO SFCS ROLE AND ALSO TO ASSIST WITH ANY QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL MAY HAVE. 
          JIM IS THE LONE MAN SITTING ON THAT SIDE OF THE ROOM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM. 
          , YOU MADE IT, JIM. 
          UH, . 
          SO, AS FAR AS THE CONTRACT TERMS OVERVIEW GOES, SFC WILL OVERSEE ALL ASPECTS OF THE FACILITIES OPERATIONS, AND THAT INCLUDES STAFFING, MARKETING, MAINTENANCE, EVENT COORDINATION, SPONSORSHIPS, ADVERTISING, AND ALL OF THE DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES. 
          THE INITIAL TERM OF THE AGREEMENT WILL BEGIN ON JULY 1ST, 2025 THROUGH DECEMBER 31ST, 2029. 
          UM, AND THAT CONTRACT ALSO INCLUDES AN OPTION FOR THREE ADDITIONAL FIVE YEAR RENEWAL TERMS. AND THAT IS, UNLESS EITHER PARTY PROVIDES 180 DAYS WRITTEN NOTICE OF TERMINATION, SFC WILL RECEIVE A BASE MANAGEMENT FEE OF $20,000 PER MONTH. 
          [03:05:01]
UM, AS COUNCIL IS AWARE, A PORTION OF THE SPORTS OHIO ACQUISITION WAS PURCHASED USING TAX EXEMPT DEBT. 
          AND MOVING FORWARD, THE CITY INTENDS FOR SPORTS OHIO TO REMAIN TO BE A PUBLIC ASSET, USED FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES AND POTENTIALLY FUTURE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO ENSURE THAT THE ASSET REMAINS TAX EXEMPT. 
          THE CITY STRUCTURE THIS MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AS OPPOSED TO A LEASE TO MAINTAIN EXCLUSIVE CONTROL OVER THE OPERATIONS OF THE FACILITY. 
          AND THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT AND THAT WAS CENTRAL TO OUR NEGOTIATIONS OF THE AGREEMENT. 
          SIMILARLY, THE COST STRUCTURE OF A SET MANAGEMENT FEE WITH LIMITED INCENTIVES WILL ENSURE THE PROPERTY SHOULD REMAIN TAX EXEMPT. 
          AND THIS IS A SIMILAR STRUCTURE THAT WE EMPLOYED WITH OUR AGREEMENT WITH THE SHEPHERD FAMILY FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF OPERATIONS TO DATE, THERE ARE INCENTIVES INCLUDED IN THE AGREEMENT AND THE COMPENSATION FOR THOSE INCENTIVES INCLUDES 7.5% OF FOOD AND BEVERAGE SALES REVENUE, PROVIDED THAT THE ANNUAL REVENUE EXCEEDS $180,000. 
          AND THEN THERE'S A TIERED STRUCTURE FOR SPONSORSHIP AND ADVERTISING REVENUE WITH SFC RECEIVING 20% OF REVENUE FOR THOSE THAT ARE INITIATED BY SFC AND 15% OF THE REVENUE FOR THOSE SPONSORSHIPS, UM, IN INITIATED BY THE CITY. 
          SO IN TERMS OF FUNDING FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2025, THE CITY APPROPRIATED $2.5 MILLION AS PART OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS FOR THIS YEAR. 
          THE FUNDS FROM THOSE APPROPRIATIONS WILL BE UTILIZED FOR THE SFC MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. 
          IN FUTURE YEARS. 
          FSFC PER THE CONTRACT WILL BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT AN ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AND BUSINESS PLAN, AND THAT WILL BE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CITY'S OPERATING BUDGET PROCESS. 
          AND THAT BUDGET WILL BE VETTED ALONG WITH THE CITY'S BUDGETING PROCESS, UM, AS THE YEAR PROGRESSES. 
          AS FAR AS THE CONTRACT TERMS, UM, AS THEY RELATE TO OPERATIONS UNDER THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT, SFC WILL OVERSEE ALL ASPECTS OF DAILY OPERATIONS, INCLUDING CUSTOMER SERVICE, MARKETING, PROMOTIONS, UTILITIES, SECURITY, AND COORDINATION OF THIRD PARTY SERVICES. 
          SFC IS AUTHORIZED TO ENTER INTO SERVICE AND REVENUE GENERATING CONTRACTS. 
          PROVIDED THAT THOSE AGREEMENTS ARE COMPETITIVELY PRICED, THE CITY RETAINS OWNERSHIP OF THE COMPLEX AND ALL ASSOCIATED ASSETS AS WELL AS THE AUTHORITY TO RENEW AND APPROVE THE ANNUAL BUSINESS PLAN, AS WELL AS THE OPERATING BUDGET. 
          ALL REVENUE COLLECTED BY SFC ON BEHALF OF THE CITY WILL BE DEPOSITED INTO A CITY OWNED OPERATING ACCOUNT. 
          THESE REVENUES ARE CONSIDERED CITY FUNDS AND SERVE AS THE PRIMARY SOURCE FOR COVERING ALL OPERATING EXPENSES. 
          WHILE OPERATIONS ARE FUNDED THROUGH THE OPERATING ACCOUNT, PAYROLL WILL BE MANAGED SEPARATELY THROUGH A PAYROLL ACCOUNT THAT WOULD BE ADMINISTERED BY SFC. 
          UNDER THE CONTRACT, SFC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING ALL NECESSARY STAFFING FOR THE FACILITIES OPERATIONS, AND THIS INCLUDES A GENERAL MANAGER WHOSE SELECTION IS SUBJECT TO CITY'S APPROVAL. 
          IN ADDITION TO THE GENERAL MANAGER, SFC WILL STAFF KEY MANAGEMENT LEVEL POSITIONS, INCLUDING A MARKETING MANAGER, OPERATIONS MANAGER, MEMBERSHIP MANAGER, FINANCE MANAGER, AND SPORTS PROGRAMMING MANAGER. 
          IN SIMILAR POSITIONS, ALL PERSONNEL WILL BE HIRED BY SFC WITH THE CITY RETAINING THE RIGHT TO REVIEW AND APPROVE STAFFING DECISIONS. 
          EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION WILL BE OUTLINED IN THE OPERATING BUDGET AND FUNDED THROUGH A PAYROLL ACCOUNT MAINTAINED BY SFC. 
          EMPLOYEE CONDUCT AND PERFORMANCE WILL ALL BE GOVERNED BY SFCS EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK, WHICH IS ALSO SUBJECT TO CITY'S APPROVAL AS IT RELATES TO MAINTENANCE. 
          UNDER THE CONTRACT TERMS, SFC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES. 
          THIS INCLUDES REPAIRS, CLEANING AND EQUIPMENT SERVICING, WHICH ARE TREATED AS STANDARD OPERATING EXPENSES. 
          SFC IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR ADDRESSING EMERGENCY REPAIRS. 
          IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE'S AN IMMINENT THREAT TO SAFETY OR OPERATIONS, THE CITY REMAINS RESPONSIBLE FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND MAJOR REPAIRS THAT EXCEED $10,000 IN COST AND HAVE A USEFUL LIFE OF MORE THAN FIVE YEARS. 
          ANY UNBUDGETED EXPENSES MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL THROUGH A FORMAL BUDGET AMENDMENT PROCESS. 
          SO THAT'S AN OVERVIEW OF THE SUBSTANTIVE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT. 
          I'D LIKE TO THANK OUR LEGAL TEAM AND KENDALL AND JAMIE AND BAKER TILLY FOR ALL OF THEIR ASSISTANCE. 
          DURING THE NEGOTIATIONS, THERE WAS A LOT OF RESEARCH DONE, A LOT OF BENCHMARKING. 
          WE REACHED OUT TO OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE AGREEMENTS, UM, AND WE REALLY DID DO A LOT OF DUE DILIGENCE AS WE WERE CONSIDERING THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. 
          ALSO LIKE TO THANK JIM AND THE SFC TEAM. 
          THEY WERE PROFESSIONAL, TRANSPARENT WITH THEIR PRACTICES, UM, AS WELL AS THE OTHER AGREEMENTS THAT THEY HAVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. 
          THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL AND I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE PRESENTING A FAIR AGREEMENT THAT WILL SERVE THE SPORTS OHIO COMPLEX AND OUR COMMUNITY WELL INTO THE FUTURE. 
          [03:10:01]
SFC WILL ALSO BE INVOLVED WITH OUR MASTER PLANNING WORK THAT HAS BEEN INITIATED AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR IN FURTHERANCE OF COUNCIL'S GOAL. 
          AND STAFF RECOMMENDS ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 40 DASH 25 AND IS HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS COUNSEL MAY HAVE. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. 
          IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT THIS EVENING FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK RELATIVE TO THIS RESOLUTION? NOBODY LEFT. 
          UH, COUNCIL QUESTION DISCUSSION. 
          I JUST, UH, HAD ONE QUESTION. 
          SO THE CURRENT OPERATING CONTRACT, DO THEY GET THE FULL AMOUNT THEN THAT WE APPROVED? LIKE IS THE TIMING OF JULY 1ST AND THE TRANSFER OVER TIMED WITH THAT CONTRACT? OR IS THERE MONEY LEFT IN THAT CONTRACT? SO UPON UM, APPROVAL OF THIS CONTRACT, WE WILL PROVIDE THE 30 DAYS NOTICE TO TERMINATE THE SHEPHERD AGREEMENT AND THE FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATED FOR THIS YEAR, THE REMAINING FUNDS WILL BE UTILIZED TO, UM, FUND THE BALANCE OF THE YEAR WITH SFC. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEY WON'T GET, IF THAT MAKES SENSE, SHEPHERD, THEY WON'T GET THE REMAINING FUNDS? NO, THEY, THEY'RE ONLY PAID THE MANAGEMENT FEE THROUGH THE TERMINATION OF THEIR AGREEMENT. 
          TERMIN MONTH. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION WAS RELATED TO INSURANCE THEN I WAS READING LIKE THE INSURANCE CLAUSES. 
          SO THE KID THAT GETS HURT PLAYING SOCCER AT THE THING THAT IS UNDER THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY'S INSURANCE MM-HMM . 
          YES. 
          THIS IS SIMILAR TO OTHER AGREEMENTS WHERE, SO RON WHITTON WAS INVOLVED IN REVIEWING THE, UM, INSURANCE PROVISIONS AND ENSURING THAT THEY HAVE THE COVERAGES THAT WE WOULD EXPECT IN THIS TYPE OF SITUATION THAT WOULD COVER THINGS. 
          SO WE'RE ENSURING THE BUILDING ITSELF, LIKE THE BUILDINGS ITSELF MM-HMM . 
          AND THE LAND ITSELF, BUT WE DON'T HAVE LIABILITY INSURANCE ON PEOPLE WHO GET HURT, THE ACTIVITIES, DOING THE ACTIVITIES. 
          CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THIS IS MAYBE A QUESTION FOR JIM, THESE MANAGEMENT POSITIONS THAT YOU INTEND TO HIRE, WHAT'S THE TIMELINE FOR THAT? AND DO YOU HAVE KIND OF A BALLPARK ESTIMATE OF THE, OF THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH FILLING OUT YOUR ORGANIZATIONAL CHART? IF YOU WOULD, WE'RE GOING TO NEED YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE RECORD. 
          NO PROBLEM. 
          UH, JIM ARNOLD HEARD THAT ALREADY TONIGHT. 
          UH, JIM ARNOLD, 3 1 5 HARVEST U TERRACE, WOODSTOCK, GEORGIA. 
          UM, THAT'S GONNA BE PART OF THE EXERCISE IN THE FIRST 30 DAYS. 
          UH, SO THE POSITIONS THAT WERE LISTED UP THERE WOULD BE KIND OF OUR FIRST TAKE AT WHAT A STAFF LOOKS LIKE FOR A FULL FACILITY LIKE THAT. 
          BUT IN REALITY, WE'RE GONNA MATCH THAT UP TO THE BUDGET AT HAND. 
          AND SO SOME OF THOSE POSITIONS MAY ACTUALLY BE FILLED BY SOME OF OUR CORPORATE TEAM. 
          UH, SOME MAY BE SHARED WITH OTHER VENUES AS WE GET UP AND OFF THE GROUND. 
          AND THEN AS WE HAVE THE REVENUE PROJECTED IN THE PROGRAM AND THE BUSINESS PLAN TO SUPPORT THOSE POSITIONS, WE'LL ROLL THEM INTO PLACE. 
          UM, SO IT WOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE TO JUST SAY, HEY, WE'RE GONNA PUT ALL THOSE IN THE GROUND RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE THE REVENUE WOULDN'T BE THERE TO SUPPORT IT. 
          UH, WE HAVE HAD GREAT CONVERSATIONS OVER THE PAST 30, 45 DAYS WITH POTENTIAL PARTNERS, UH, RENTERS LEASE OR STAKEHOLDERS WHO I THINK WE CAN DRIVE THOSE REVENUES. 
          AND AS THE REVENUES AND CONTRACTS GET PUT IN, WE'LL HIRE, UH, ACCORDINGLY TO MAKE SURE WE CAN SERVICE THOSE CONTRACTS. 
          I'M ASSUMING THAT THE CONTRACTS THAT YOU HAVE WITH DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES MAY BE NO TWO CONTRACTS THE SAME. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT I'D BE REALLY MORE COMFORTABLE WITH IS MAYBE 15,000 A MONTH, THE FIRST 12 MONTHS, AND THEN STEPPING IT UP TO THE 20 JUST TO GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO, YOU KNOW, SEE YOUR WORK AND ALLOW A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA FUDGE, LOP, WHATEVER FINANCE FOLKS WANT TO CALL IT. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, THE MARGINS FOR THIS FACILITY CAN BE KIND OF SLIM. 
          UM, AND SO, YOU KNOW, I'D FEEL BETTER PERSONALLY IF WE COULD SHAVE MAYBE $60,000 OFF THE ANNUAL BUDGET THE FIRST YEAR JUST TO KIND OF GET UP AND RUNNING AND THEN THEREAFTER BUMP IT BACK TO THE, THE 20 THAT SUGGESTED THAT WOULD BE, THAT WOULD'VE TO BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD GO BACK TO OUR BOARD. 
          I THINK THE 20,000 PER MONTH IS IN LINE WITH VENUES OF VERY SIMILAR SIZE. 
          UH, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY PROBABLY MORE IN A LARGER SCALE EFFORT THAN SOME OF THE VENUES THAT WE GAVE IN TERMS OF RECENT CONTRACTS. 
          UH, SO WHAT WE DID AS PART OF THE EXERCISE IS WE PROVIDED CONTRACTS IN MANAGEMENT TERMS OF LIKE SIZE VENUES AS WELL AS OUR MOST RECENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACT. 
          SO WE WEREN'T JUST KIND OF PICKING AND CHOOSING THE ONES THAT WE WANTED TO SHOW. 
          AND SO WE CREATED A MATRIX AS WELL AS THOSE AGREEMENTS. 
          AND MOST OF THE RECENT ONES WE HAVE THAT ARE OF THE SAME MANAGEMENT FEE ARE ACTUALLY SMALLER ASSETS. 
          AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE DID DO A LOT OF BENCHMARKING 
          [03:15:01]
AND AS JIM SHARED, WE LOOKED AT A LOT OF CONTRACTS, WE BENCHMARKED OTHER CITIES, TALKED TO THE CITY STAFF THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THOSE AGREEMENTS. 
          AND THIS PACKAGE THAT WE NEGOTIATED, IT REALLY IS A PACKAGE. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A LOT OF GIVE AND TAKE AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS AS WE TALKED ABOUT OTHER TERMS. UM, THIS IS THE RESULT OF WHAT, THREE MONTHS NEGOTIATIONS OF THIS ENTIRE CONTRACT. 
          SO, UM, BACK TO WHAT JIM SAID, I DO THINK IT IS A FAIR AMOUNT, UM, THAT WE ARRIVED AT WHEN CONSIDERING THAT WE BENCHMARKED SIMILAR, LARGER, SMALLER FACILITIES. 
          I WOULDN'T BE DOING MY JOB IF I DIDN'T ASK. 
          IT'S FAIR. 
          OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP AND TAKING ON THIS LITTLE BITTY TASK, UM, BEFORE US. 
          UM, THOUGHTS ABOUT, UM, YOUR, YOUR ROLLOUT COMMUNICATION, ALL OF THAT WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THE TIMING ON THAT? OR IS IT JUST GOING TO BE QUIET FOR A WHILE AND, AND SEAMLESS, OR WHAT ARE, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT? SO, UH, INTERNALLY OUR PROCESS IS INTERNALLY WE'LL BE DOING A LARGE KICKOFF, UH, INTERNALLY WITH OUR ENTIRE TEAM. 
          OUR ENTIRE TEAM'S UP TO SPEED WITH THIS PROJECT. 
          WE'VE BEEN EXCITED ABOUT IT FOR, FOR QUITE SOME TIME. 
          UH, BUT WE'LL DO OUR OFFICIAL KICKOFF, UH, THIS WEEK INTERNALLY, FIRST WEEK OF JULY, WE'LL BE WORKING WITH, UH, THE CITY LEADERSHIP TO IDENTIFY WHEN THE RIGHT TIME IS TO BRING OUR ENTIRE TEAM. 
          AND WE'RE GONNA DESCEND HERE. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA BRING OUR MARKETING, OUR HUMAN RESOURCES, OUR OPERATIONS TEAM, AND WE'RE GONNA COME. 
          AND THE GOAL OF THAT IS AN IN-MARKET KICKOFF WITH THE CITY AS WELL AS STAKEHOLDERS. 
          UH, SO EACH OF OUR GROUPS WILL BE KIND OF DIVIDING AND CONQUERING WITH THE RIGHT DEPARTMENTS, UH, AND THEN WORKING WITH THE CITY TO TRY TO PUT THAT PLAN TOGETHER. 
          SO OUR MARKETING TEAM WOULD LEAD THAT EFFORT. 
          UM, AND THAT WOULD BE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY MARKETING, UH, WITH VISIT DUBLIN. 
          WE'D ALSO WANT TO TALK TO STAKEHOLDERS. 
          UH, SO THAT'S BEING HANDLED THERE. 
          OUR HUMAN RESOURCES IS TALKING TO EXISTING STAFF TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT TRANSITION AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. 
          AND AFTER THAT INITIAL IN MARKET, WE'LL VERY QUICKLY PUT OUR 30 DAY PLAN TOGETHER. 
          AND THEN FROM THERE GOES 60 90. 
          AND OUR GOAL IS WITHIN 90 DAYS TO BE FULLY TRANS. 
          UH, 30 DAYS WILL BE FULLY TRANSITIONED IN THE BUILDING, BUT 90 DAYS IS WHEN WE'RE SMOOTH SAILING IN OPERATIONS AND EVERYTHING IN PLACE, UH, WHICH WILL ALSO LINE UP WITH PUTTING THAT BUDGET TOGETHER FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR. 
          AND I APOLOGIZE FOR MY VOICE, BY THE WAY. 
          NO, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          UM, I, I THINK THERE WILL BE A LOT OF ENERGY AND EXCITEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY AND, UM, UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, THERE'S SO MUCH EXCITEMENT AROUND THIS, BOTH FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, THE CITY, AND I CAN SEE THE EXCITEMENT THAT YOU, UM, YOU EXHIBIT ABOUT THIS. 
          SO, UH, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO, AND, UM, MAYBE TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR, WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU COME BACK AND GIVE US A CHECKPOINT ON HOW IT'S GOING. 
          I MEAN, I KNOW THAT WE'LL PROBABLY HEAR THROUGH STAFF AND ALL THAT, BUT IT, IT'S SUCH AN EXCITING PROJECT AND THERE'S SO MUCH PLANNING THAT'S GONNA BE HAPPENING. 
          IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW YOU FEEL IT'S GOTTEN OFF THE GROUND AND WHAT THE GREAT POINTS, WHAT THE VOIDS ARE, HOW WE COULD BE MORE HELPFUL, WHATEVER IT, WHATEVER IT TAKES. 
          BUT I, I CAN SEE THIS IS GONNA BE A GREAT WORKING RELATIONSHIP, A GOOD PARTNERSHIP. 
          SO I WOULD REALLY BE INTERESTED TO HEAR, YOU KNOW, YOUR THOUGHTS AS WE GET MUCH FARTHER DOWN THE ROAD, YOU KNOW, BY, MAYBE BY THE END OF THE YEAR. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, AND THAT'S A BIG PART OF, AS WE PUT THIS TOGETHER, WE HAVE OUR MONTHLY REPORTS AND THOSE MONTHLY REPORTS WILL BE FULL FINANCIAL REPORTS, BUT WE ALSO WANNA WORK TO UNDERSTAND, HEY, HOW DO WE REPORT WHAT'S HAPPENING MM-HMM . 
          AND SO WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO REPORT THAT BACK TO STAFF AND IN TURN THE COUNCIL. 
          AND THEN A BIG PIECE OF WHAT WE DO IS STORYTELLING IS IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH GOOD THINGS YOU'RE DOING IF YOU'RE NOT TELLING THE STORY. 
          UM, AND THAT'S, THAT'S NOT ONLY TO THE COUNCIL, BUT THAT'S TO THE COMMUNITY, THAT'S TO THE GROUPS THAT WE'RE SERVING, THE RESIDENTS THAT WE'RE SERVING. 
          AND SO THAT'S A BIG PIECE OF THAT MARKETING GREAT. 
          BUT I THINK THAT WOULD BE ACTUALLY A REALLY GOOD KIND OF END THE YEAR AS WE GO INTO THE NEXT YEAR, MAYBE SOME TYPE OF PRESENTATION JUST LIKE THAT. 
          AND WE WOULD ABSOLUTELY DO THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          WE ALSO DISCUSS THAT AS PART OF THE OPERATING BUDGET AND WHEN THE BUDGET'S PRESENTED, PERHAPS HAVING THE GM COMMON PRESENT, THAT BUDGET DURING THAT PROCESS. 
          UM, I, I SAW MENTION IN THERE ABOUT BACKGROUND CHECKS AND THINGS THAT DO YOUR BACKGROUND CHECKS. 
          ARE THEY IN LINE WITH, UH, THE CITY'S BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULD HAVE INTERACTION WITH YOUNG PEOPLE AND ALL OF THOSE? YES, I BELIEVE SO. 
          OH, AND, UH, YOUR, YOUR MIC WENT OFF. 
          IF YOU I LOSE IT. 
          THERE YOU GO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, I BELIEVE THEY ARE, WE CAN DOUBLE CHECK THAT. 
          AND ANYTHING THAT DOES NEED TO BE ADDED TO OURS CAN BE ADDED TO MAKE SURE. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SO WE WOULD COVER OUR CHECKS AS WELL AS MAKE SURE THAT IT'S UP TO PAR WITH THE CITIES. 
          GREAT. 
          UM, AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION IS RELATIVE TO NOMENCLATURE. 
          SO I, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THE NAME OF THIS PARK IS PROBABLY GOING TO CHANGE IN SHORT ORDER, YOU KNOW, AS, AS, UH, THE STUDY GETS WRAPPED UP AND WE TALK ABOUT VISIONING AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE LONG TERM'S GONNA BE. 
          SO WHEN YOU ARE BRINGING 
          [03:20:01]
IN PARTNERS AND WRITING CONTRACTS AND THINGS, DO YOU HAVE FLEXIBILITY BUILT IN TO CHANGE, UH, CHANGE THE NAME THAT IT'S REFERRED TO? IF, IF IT WERE NOT TO BE REFERRED TO AS SPORTS OHIO IN THE FUTURE? YES. 
          IN ANY CONTRACT LIKE THAT, WE WOULD IDENTIFY THE FACILITY AS SPORTS OHIO OR ANY FUTURE NAME, ET CETERA, BASED AT THIS LOCATION AND ADDRESS. 
          OKAY. 
          I THINK THAT'S GONNA BE IMPORTANT. 
          'CAUSE I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE ROLLOUT OF THE, OF THE NEW PARK. 
          AND THAT'S A, THAT'S A FUN EXERCISE. 
          WE HAVE A GREAT, AN INCREDIBLE MARKETING TEAM, BRANDING TEAM. 
          WE'LL BRING TOGETHER EVERYBODY, EVERY STAKEHOLDER SAW YOU ALREADY HAD EMERALD FIELDS TAKEN ON YOUR LITTLE MAP THERE THAT THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S TAKEN . 
          WE'LL FIND SOMETHING ELSE. 
          BUT IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A COOL EXERCISE WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE GET ASKED THE FUN QUESTIONS OF, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE, IF YOU VIEW YOUR CITY AS A TYPE OF FOOD, WHAT WOULD THAT BE? YOU KNOW, WHAT BRAND DO YOU FEEL BEST ALIGNS? AND WE GIVE EXAMPLES. 
          SO THEY RUN THROUGH A WHOLE DAY OF EXERCISES THERE AND KIND OF COME OUT OF THAT BRANDING EXERCISE WITH, WITH IDEAS. 
          WE RUN THOSE IDEAS AND WE KEEP GOING UNTIL IT FEELS RIGHT AND WE HAVE SOMETHING IN PLACE THAT EVERYBODY FEELS GOOD WITH AND REPRESENTS THE CITY WELL AND CORRECTLY. 
          GREAT. 
          THANKS. 
          NOTHING FURTHER.

          AWESOME. 
          WELL, THANK YOU GUYS. 
          WE APPRECIATE THE TRUST YOU'RE PUTTING IN OUR TEAM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          YOU WIN THE PRIZE FOR ENDURANCE TONIGHT. 
          ? I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT MAYBE A PAT ON THE BACK. 
          OKAY. 
          THIS BRINGS US TO THE OTHER 
          [OTHER BUSINESS]
BUSINESS PORTION OF OUR AGENDA, AND WE WILL START WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS ON GREEN ROOFS WHEN OUR STAFF REPORT WILL BE BROUGHT TO US BY JENNY RASCH. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          UH, THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE, UH, TONIGHT. 
          AND I WILL, I JUST HAVE A BRIEF, UM, UPDATE, UM, AS WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET AND MENTIONED, UM, BY COUNCIL MEMBER REINER AT THE LAST MEETING AS PART OF THE CDC FOLLOW UP, UM, STAFF. 
          UM, AND OUR LEGAL TEAM HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE TWO DISCUSSIONS AT THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE TO TALK ABOUT GREEN ROOFS, UM, AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. 
          UM, DOING SOME BENCHMARKING OF OTHER COMMUNITIES TO UNDERSTAND HOW, UM, AND WHERE WE SHOULD LOOK AT, UM, POTENTIAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS. 
          SO, UM, I, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND GO INTO MORE DETAIL IF YOU HAVE THAT. 
          ULTIMATELY THE COMMITTEE REALLY WANTED TO INVESTIGATE HOW THOSE STRATEGIES COULD BE IMPLEMENTED, LOOKING AT INCENTIVES AT DIFFERENT LEVELS, UM, THAT RANGE FROM THE AESTHETIC COMPONENT UP TO TRULY THE SUSTAINABILITY COMPONENT OF, OF GREEN ROOFS. 
          UM, AND THE COMMITTEE'S CONSENSUS, UM, AT THAT MAY MEETING WAS REALLY TO LOOK AT AND INVESTIGATE HOW GREEN ROOFS COULD BE INCORPORATED AS PART OF THE METRO CENTER. 
          SO WANTING TO FIND A SORT OF A CLEAN SLATE TO TEST THIS, UM, GIVEN THAT IT'S, YOU KNOW, REALLY HARD TO RETROACTIVELY GO BACK IN A BRIDGE STREET OR SOMEWHERE ELSE, UM, AND, AND TRY TO IMPLEMENT THIS. 
          SO, UM, THE CDC D'S RECOMMENDATION THEN IS TO, UM, HAVE STAFF LOOK AT THAT AS PART OF THE METRO CENTER CODE AND GUIDELINES, WHICH WE'RE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING. 
          SO, UM, THAT'S THE RECOMMENDATION THAT CDC DC IS PUTTING FORTH, UM, TO COUNCIL TO CONSIDER. 
          UM, HAPPY TO LET ANY OF THE OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS, UM, CHIME IN ON THAT, BUT AT THIS POINT, SEEKING COUNCIL'S FEEDBACK ON THAT DIRECTION, UM, AS WE'RE WORKING THROUGH WITH SASAKI AND OUR STAFF TEAM, UM, TO DEVELOP THOSE CODE AND GUIDELINES. 
          SO OBVIOUSLY THE, WE KNOW WHAT THOSE OPTIONS WOULD BE, WOULD COME BACK TO COUNCIL AS PART OF THAT LARGER DISCUSSION. 
          UM, SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, UM, BUT WOULD LOVE YOUR, UM, FEEDBACK AND GUIDANCE ON THAT. 
          VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. 
          WE'LL TAKE A MOMENT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK RELATIVE TO THIS RECOMMENDATION? HEARING NONE COUNCIL QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION. 
          THE ONLY THING I'LL SAY IS THAT I, I THINK IT'S SO APPROPRIATE HERE IN THE METRO PLACE AND WE HAD GREAT DISCUSSIONS AND, AND I, I DO THINK THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES FOR INCENTIVES POINT SYSTEMS TO TRY TO GET PEOPLE TO NOT BECOME A BURDEN, NOT BECOME A BURDEN TO DO GREEN ROOFS, BUT TO, TO, TO LOOK AT THIS AMENITY AS SOMETHING THAT CREATES VALUE FOR WHOEVER DEVELOPS IT. 
          AND SO, UM, I'LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT THOSE REQUIREMENTS AND PARAMETERS ARE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THAT, THAT BRINGS UP A GOOD POINT IF I MIGHT ADD THAT AS PART OF THE METRO CENTER CODE AND GUIDELINES. 
          UM, WE MENTIONED DEVELOPMENT TESTING, SO THIS WOULD BE A REALLY GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO THAT POINT TO UNDERSTAND IF WE WOULD IMPLEMENT THIS, WHAT ARE THE FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS TO THAT. 
          SO WE WOULD HAVE A REALLY GOOD SENSE OF THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY'S REALLY NOT GONNA BE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS, AND IT'S GONNA BE CHALLENGING UNLESS WE DO X, Y, OR Z. 
          SO WE WOULD HAVE A REALLY GOOD SENSE OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE OR SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. 
          ANY OTHERS? OKAY. 
          I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CDC RECOMMENDATIONS, DIRECTING STAFF TO 
          [03:25:01]
INVESTIGATE THE INCORPORATION OF GREEN ROOF REQUIREMENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE METRO CENTER CODE AND GUIDELINES. 
          IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND, JENNY, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL? MR. REINER? YES. 
          MR. KEELER? YES. 
          MS. OSA? YES. 
          VICE MAYOR RELU? YES. 
          MS. FOX? YES. 
          MAYOR AROSE GROOMS, MS. CRA? YES. 
          UM, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS UPDATE, AND WE'LL STICK WITH JENNY AND SHE'LL BE JOINED BY JEREMIAH. 
          I UNDERSTAND ONLY IF I NEED BACKUP  ONLY IF I MESS IT UP. 
          UH, NO. 
          SO AGAIN, UH, THANKS. 
          I KNOW EVERYBODY'S ANXIOUS TO GET TO GET, UM, THROUGH THE REST OF THE AGENDA ITEMS, BUT REALLY JUST WANTED TO SHARE AN UPDATE. 
          AND AGAIN, WE PROVIDED A LOT OF DETAIL IN THE MEMO, UM, ABOUT THIS WORK THAT WE'VE DONE OVER THE LAST YEAR, UM, WHICH IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT'S GONE BY SO QUICKLY. 
          UM, BUT WE'VE MADE SOME REALLY GOOD STRIDES, WHICH I'LL TOUCH ON HERE. 
          BUT ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, AS WE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL IN OCTOBER, UM, OF LAST YEAR, ALONG WITH THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, REALLY, UM, UNDERTOOK THIS DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS. 
          UM, SORT OF LOOK AT THAT AS PART OF, YOU KNOW, AN OUT OUTCRY OR RECOMMENDATION OF THIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY THAT WAS APPROVED IN OCTOBER OF 2023. 
          SO REALLY LOOKING AT THAT OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE OUR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS IS AS TRANSPARENT AND PREDICTABLE AS IT CAN BE. 
          SO, UM, WE CONDUCTED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF INTERDEPARTMENTAL TEAM, UM, TO HAVE SOME INITIAL EVALUATION OF THAT AS WELL AS EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPMENT, COMMUNITY BOARD AND COMMISSION MEMBERS AS WELL, UM, WHICH REALLY HELPED US, UM, YOU KNOW, OUTLINE WHAT PEOPLE'S CONCERNS WERE, WHAT WOULD THEY LIKE TO SEE MORE OF, LESS OF, UM, HOW CAN WE HELP THEM NAVIGATE THAT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS, UM, AND CLARIFY TIMELINES, MILESTONES, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. 
          UM, WE ALSO, AS WITH ALL OF OUR PROJECTS, UM, BENCHMARK TO SEE WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE DOING. 
          WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES. 
          WE EVEN HAD WESTERVILLE COME AND TALK TO US ABOUT THEIR PROCESS. 
          SO AGAIN, REALLY TRYING TO LEARN WHAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING AND WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THAT AND HOW DO WE COMPARE. 
          UM, SO AS I MENTIONED, THIS WAS, UM, WE STARTED THIS IN APRIL, MAY OF LAST YEAR, UM, AND HAD SEVERAL, UM, SORT OF MILESTONES ALONG THE WAY, UM, WHICH IS REALLY GETTING US TO WHERE WE ARE NOW, WHICH IS, UM, AND I'M GONNA TALK THROUGH THE SORT OF SIX MAJOR ACTION THEMES THAT WERE IDENTIFIED THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, BUT CONTINUED IMPLEMENTATION OF EACH OF THOSE ITEMS. UM, AND THEN WE HAVE ONE SORT OF MAJOR LAST THING THAT I THINK IS GONNA REALLY HELP US, UM, IDENTIFY SOME ADDITIONAL, UM, OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE CAN HOPEFULLY GET IMPLEMENTED HERE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR, AND THEN BE REALLY, UM, REALLY IN A GREAT PLACE. 
          SO, UM, THROUGHOUT THAT TIME, UM, LAST YEAR, WE IDENTIFIED THESE SIX MAJOR THEMES. 
          UM, PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH, STAFF REPORT, CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE REVIEW, UM, AND REQUIREMENT PROCESS, TIERS OF SERVICE AND TECHNOLOGY AND USE. 
          UM, WHICH AGAIN, WE WENT OVER IN PRETTY GREAT DETAIL IN OCTOBER AND WE ASKED COUNCIL AND THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS FOR SOME FEEDBACK ON SEVERAL OF THESE, UM, WHICH YOU'LL SEE HERE, UM, AS I GO THROUGH. 
          SO ULTIMATELY EACH OF THESE ACTION THEMES, UM, THERE'S THE DESCRIPTION ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, AND THEN ON THE RIGHT IS WHAT THE ITEMS THAT WERE, UM, IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THIS PROCESS. 
          SO, UM, OBVIOUSLY IF IT'S A CHECK MARK, THAT MEANS WE'VE DONE IT. 
          AND IF IT'S IN ITALICS, IN ITALICS IN GREEN, THAT MEANS THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE SINCE OUR MEETING UP WITH YOU LAST TIME IN OCTOBER. 
          SO AGAIN, THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT PART IS REALLY THAT, HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR PEOPLE HAVE A POINT OF CONTACT, UM, THAT THEY CAN GO TO A SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT TO HELP SORT OF HAVE THAT, UM, CASE MANAGER APPROACH SO PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES OR CONCERNS, THEN THEY KNOW WHO TO GO TO AND THAT OUR STAFF FEELS COMFORTABLE DOING THAT. 
          SO WE HAVE, UM, WORKED THROUGH THAT WITH SEVERAL PROJECTS AND THAT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL AND WE'VE PROVIDED, UM, SOME ANECDOTES OF THAT, YOU KNOW, OVER THE, WHEN WE MET IN OCTOBER AS WELL. 
          UM, SO WE'VE REALLY SORT OF FORMALIZED THAT ON OUR END, UM, AND CONTINUE TO, YOU KNOW, WORK WITH STAFF AS PART OF THAT. 
          SO THAT'S BEEN SUCCESSFUL. 
          UM, THE SECOND, UM, THEME WAS RELATED TO STAFF REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          UM, SO AGAIN, LOOKING AT OUR STAFF REPORTS, WORKING WITH OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, MAKING SURE THAT THE INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THEIR, IN THEIR REPORTS THAT THEY USE, YOU KNOW, FOR THEIR RECOMME RECOMMENDATIONS AND DOCUMENTATION, THAT THAT'S REALLY WHAT THEY WANNA SEE AND THE ORDER THEY WANNA SEE IT. 
          WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED TO ADD? UM, SO AGAIN, WE HAD A LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK LEADING UP TO THAT OCTOBER, UH, TIMEFRAME, BUT SINCE THEN HAVE DRAFTED AND IMPLEMENTED, EXCUSE ME, UM, SOME REVISED STAFF REPORTS, WHICH HAVE BEEN REALLY SUCCESSFUL, PARTICULARLY ADDING IN INFORMATION ABOUT ENVISION DUBLIN AND THE THOROUGH FOR PLAN SPECIAL AIRPLANES. 
          WE'VE REALLY TRIED TO INCORPORATE MORE OF THAT PLAN NOW THAT THAT'S BEEN UPDATED AS WELL. 
          UM, MAINTAINING OUR STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          AND THEN ANOTHER PIECE OF THIS, RIGHT, YOU HAVE REPORTS AND YOU HAVE THE INFORMATION AND STAFF'S 
          [03:30:01]
RECOMMENDATION, BUT DO THEY HAVE ALL THE BACKGROUND EDUCATIONAL PIECE OF THAT AS WELL? SO WE CONTINUE TO EDUCATE, UM, AND UPDATE OUR BOARDS AND PROVIDE THEM, YOU KNOW, TOPIC SPECIFIC TRAINING. 
          UM, SO THAT'LL ALWAYS BE ONGOING. 
          UM, ONE OF THE ITEMS WITHIN THIS THAT WE ARE CONTINUING TO HAVE IN PROGRESS IS, UM, WHICH I'LL TALK ABOUT HERE AT THE END, SORT OF THAT BIG NEXT STEP, BUT IS UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE LEVEL OF REVIEW IS AND, AND THE LEVEL OF DETAIL THAT'S NEEDED AS PART OF THAT REVIEW. 
          SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IN PROGRESS AND WHAT WE HOPE TO HAVE DONE HERE BEFORE THE END, OR DEFINED BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. 
          UM, CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE, THIS HAS ACTUALLY BEEN A PRETTY FUN, UM, COMPONENT OF THIS. 
          SO HOW DO WE TRACK ITEMS FROM PEOPLE CALLING US, EMAILING, JUST YOUR POINT OF CONTACT, HOW ARE WE MAKING SURE WE'RE COMMUNICATING BETWEEN PLANNING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, OTHER TEAMS AND THAT THERE'S A CENTRAL LOCATION THERE USED TO BE, BUT THEN WE SORT OF GOT, EVERYBODY WAS KIND OF DOING THEIR OWN THING, SO HOW DO WE BRING THAT ALL BACK TOGETHER? SO, UM, WE SORT OF REVIVED THIS TEAMS CHANNEL, BUT ALSO CREATED AN INTAKE FORM, UM, WHERE PEOPLE CAN ENTER IN THE INFORMATION. 
          THEN YOU CAN TRACK THAT AND YOU CAN SEARCH THAT IT HAS A MAP COMPONENT. 
          SO THAT'S BEEN REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL FOR US TO, UM, TO SEE THAT AND, AND BE ABLE TO TRACK DOWN LEADS AND WHAT DID WE TELL PEOPLE SO YOU CAN STORE INFORMATION IN THERE AS WELL. 
          SO THAT'S BEEN REALLY SUCCESSFUL. 
          UM, IN TERMS OF THE REQUIREMENT AND REVIEW PROCESS, UM, AGAIN, WE'VE MADE SOME MINOR CHANGES TO OUR WEBSITES APPLICATIONS. 
          UM, THE BIGGEST COMPONENT OF THIS WAS, UM, MAKING THE CHANGE TO THE CODE FOR CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW, UM, TO HELP MAKE THAT PROCESS GO FASTER FOR, UM, PROJECTS THAT HAVE THAT CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW. 
          SO WE'VE ALREADY SEEN, UM, THAT WORKING WELL, UM, AS PART OF THAT AMENDMENT. 
          SO THAT'S BEEN HELPFUL. 
          UM, THE IN PROGRESS ITEMS FOR THIS, AGAIN, SIMILAR TO, UM, THE OTHER ONE THAT'S IN PROGRESS IS REALLY MAKING SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE'RE WORKING WITH TRANSPORTATION, MOBILITY, ENGINEERING, ALL OF OUR OTHER DIVISIONS, THAT WE ARE DOING THAT IN A MEANINGFUL WAY AND WE'VE MADE SOME INITIAL CHANGES OF HOW ARE WE MAKING SURE WE'RE SHARING PROJECTS IN A TIMELY MANNER, UM, AND GETTING GOOD FEEDBACK AND STANDARDIZING THOSE COMMENTS. 
          SO AGAIN, THIS FINAL STEP THAT WE HAVE, UM, WE'LL JUST SORT OF BRING THAT EVEN FURTHER TO TO COMPLETION. 
          UM, AND THEN THE LAST TWO, SO TIERS OF SERVICE. 
          THIS IS REALLY HOW ARE WE MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING GUIDANCE FOR THOSE PROJECTS THAT NEED A LOT OF HANDHOLDING VERSUS NOT. 
          UM, SO AGAIN, WE'VE DONE SOME CHANGES, UM, ALONG THE WAY, INCLUDING, I THINK JEREMIAH MENTIONED THAT AT THE WORK SESSION LAST WEEK IS THE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE HOURS, WHICH HAS BEEN REALLY, REALLY GREAT. 
          AND WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK ON, UM, PEOPLE BRINGING PROJECTS, INITIAL PROJECTS, AND GETTING FEEDBACK. 
          SO THAT'S BEEN REALLY GREAT. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, SO THEN THE NEXT IN PROGRESS PIECE OF THAT IS, RIGHT, WHAT ARE THOSE MAJOR STEPS IN THE REVIEW PROCESS? HOW DO WE MAKE THAT A LITTLE MORE EFFICIENT ONCE YOU SUBMIT AN APPLICATION SO THAT WE'RE ALL SORT OF STANDARDIZING, UM, MORE EFFICIENTLY HOW WE'RE DOING THAT. 
          UM, AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, BUT VERY IMPORTANT IS THE TECHNOLOGY PIECE OF THIS. 
          SO MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE MADE CHANGES TO OUR SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS, SO HOW PEOPLE SUBMIT APPLICATIONS, CONTINUE TO ASSESS THAT WITH BRANDON. 
          IS HIS TEAM, IS THIS THE BEST SOLUTION THAT WE HAVE? HOW DO WE MAKE CHANGES TO THAT LOOKING FOR, UM, ADDITIONAL TECHNOLOGIES, RIGHT? LIKE 3D MODELING AND SOME OF THOSE TYPES OF, UM, THINGS. 
          SO AGAIN, HOW CAN AI, I MEAN, THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THAT ARE ON THE CUSP OF, YOU KNOW, HELPING US DO OUR JOB BETTER AND FASTER, UM, WITHOUT SACRIFICING THE QUALITY PIECE OF THAT. 
          SO HOW DO WE CONTINUE, UM, CONTINUE TO DO THAT? SO THE VERY LAST THING HERE IS THEN, UM, WHAT I MENTIONED ULTIMATELY REVIEW MAPPING OUT THAT REVIEW PROCESS. 
          SO YOU SUBMIT AN APPLICATION, OBVIOUSLY GOES THROUGH VARIOUS STEPS AND GETS HANDED OFF TO BUILDINGS. 
          SO US HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO, UM, SORT OF A LEAN SIX SIGMA SPECIFIC PROJECT TO THAT, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE UNDERSTANDING WHAT GETS REVIEWED THROUGH THE BUILDING PROCESS, WHAT GETS REVIEWED, UM, FIRST DURING THE PLANNING PROCESS, AND THEN WHAT'S THAT SORT OF INTERNAL REVIEW. 
          SO WHEN YOU'RE SUBMITTING INFORMATION, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT, UM, YOU KNOW, AS PART OF YOUR SORT OF, IF YOU GO THROUGH IS A PUD OPTION, RIGHT? CONCEPT, PRELIMINARY, FINAL, WHAT, HOW MUCH DETAIL YOU'RE PROVIDING. 
          'CAUSE WE'VE DEFINITELY HEARD A LOT OF FEEDBACK ABOUT HOW YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE A LOT OF DETAIL BEFORE YOU EVEN GET TO BUILDING PERMITS. 
          SO SHOULD WE CONSIDER DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND REQUIRING LESS? SO ULTIMATELY OUR GOALS ARE TO LOOK AT THAT PROCESS, UNDERSTANDING WHAT THAT MEANS, UM, STANDARDIZING, LIKE I MENTIONED, STANDING OUR STANDARDIZING OUR REVIEW COMMENTS AND TIMEFRAMES, AND THEN PRODUCING SOME ADDITIONAL TOOLS FOR APPLICANTS. 
          AND THEN IF THERE'S ANY OTHER CODE MODIFICATIONS OR THINGS LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT. 
          SO AGAIN, SORRY, IT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION, BUT WE HAVE BEEN REALLY WORKING HARD TO IMPLEMENT THIS. 
          AND I THINK OUR TEAMS BETWEEN MYSELF AND JEANIE AND JEREMIAH AND PAUL HAVE REALLY WORKED HARD AND BRAD, UH, LL LIKE REALLY WORKED HARD TO, TO TRY TO IMPLEMENT THIS. 
          SO I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING I NEED FEEDBACK ON, UNLESS YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, HAPPY TO DO THAT. 
          BUT WE 
          [03:35:01]
WILL REPORT BACK, UM, ONCE WE COMPLETE THAT NEXT STEP. 
          AND IF WE NEED POLICY DIRECTION, WE'LL DEFINITELY BRING THAT FORWARD TO COUNCIL. 
          SO THAT'S ALL I GOT. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          I WANNA TAKE A MOMENT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          IF ANYONE PRESENT THIS EVENING WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK RELATIVE TO THIS UPDATE, HEARING NONE COUNCIL QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION, JUST KUDOS. 
          FANTASTIC WORK. 
          UM, YOU DID THIS IN SHORT ORDER, SO GOOD JOB. 
          I FEEL REALLY BAD THAT THIS WAS THE LAST THING OF THE EVENING BECAUSE I FEEL BAD FOR EVERYBODY THAT HAD TO SIT THROUGH EVERYTHING ELSE PLANNING RELATED. 
          SO I FEEL REALLY BAD BECAUSE ONE, THIS, THIS HAS BEEN A, UM, QUESTION ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES EVER SINCE I TIME BEGAN. 
          I THINK WHEN IT COMES TO DUBLIN AND THE DIFFICULTY AND FOR YOU TO COME, UH, FOR THIS, FOR OUR TEAM TO COME UP WITH THESE PROCESSES AND THESE IMPROVEMENTS SO COMPLEX TO UNRAVEL THIS BIG BALL OF STRING THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME IS AN AMAZING THING. 
          AND FOR YOU TO HAVE TO DO IT SO QUICKLY AT 10 30 AT NIGHT, I FEEL BAD BECAUSE YOU ALL DESERVE A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN THAT. 
          UM, ONE THING I MIGHT SUGGEST BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WE'RE TRYING THIS OUT IS THAT MAYBE WHEN WE HAVE APPLICANTS GO THROUGH THESE PROCESSES THAT ARE NEW, WE GIVE THEM AT THE A A FEEDBACK SURVEY TO JUST SAY WHAT IS, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S WORKING HERE FOR YOU AND WHAT IS, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING IT AND ARE APPLYING IN OTHER SUBURBS, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE US CONTINUOUS FEEDBACK, WHICH MIGHT GIVE YOU EVEN MORE INFORMATION WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE MORE MEETINGS. 
          BUT I, THAT'S MY ONLY SUGGESTION. 
          BUT, UH, I AGREE WITH ANDY, KUDOS. 
          THIS IS, UM, THIS WAS A BIG APPLE TO TAKE A BITE OF AND, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S REALLY WORKING WELL. 
          SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH ALL OF YOU. 
          I JUST GOT A COUPLE THINGS. 
          SO ONE, NOW THAT WE'VE CHANGED THE CODE, SO CONCEPT ISN'T IN OUR TWO DISTRICTS A VOTE ANYMORE. 
          UM, I'M ASSUMING WE'RE GOING BACK TO REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION. 
          I KNOW ONE OF YOUR TASKS IS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU NEED IN EACH STAGE. 
          SO I'M ASSUMING THAT'S A BIG COMPONENT OF IT. 
          AND, UM, I DIDN'T KNOW, HAVE WE, HAVE WE SEEN ENOUGH APPLICATIONS I GUESS COME IN YET UNDER THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT'S NOT ON A VOTE? LIKE WE HAVE SEEN A, A COUPLE, IS IT WORKING? YEAH, I DEFINITELY THINK IT IS WORKING. 
          AND EVEN ON, UM, ONES THAT WE'RE SORT OF CURRENTLY IN THE SYSTEM WE HAVE ADVOCATED DO NOT SHARE AS MUCH. 
          I MEAN, SOME OF THEM JUST DO IT OUTTA THE NATURE OF THEY WANNA UNDERSTAND IT, BUT AT LEAST IN TERMS OF WHAT GETS SUBMITTED, WE DEFINITELY ADVISE THEM ON LET'S JUST PROVIDE THIS AS OPPOSED TO THE WHOLE, YOU KNOW, FULL PACKAGE. 
          BUT WE'VE NOT SEEN ENOUGH TO HAVE A LOT OF DATA. 
          BUT I MEAN THAT'S OUR, THAT'S ALSO PART OF THIS FUTURE DISCUSSION IS WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? ARE WE OKAY WITH THAT? SO YEAH. 
          'CAUSE THAT'S ONE THE BIGGEST COMMENTS WAS HOW MUCH DATA WAS NEEDED UPFRONT. 
          RIGHT? RIGHT. 
          AND IF THEY WANNA GIVE IT, GREAT, SURE. 
          BUT SOME BUT NOT REQUIRED. 
          YEAH, SOME DON'T WANT IT. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO, UM, AND THEN THE, MY SECOND POINT WAS ACTUALLY, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD GIVE A SURVEY AFTER EVERYONE. 
          I THINK THAT OPENS A CAN OF WORMS 'CAUSE NO ONE LIKES IT, RIGHT? IT'S LIKE A SURVEY AFTER YOU TAKE A TEST. 
          BUT I DO THINK THAT WE NEED TO, AFTER WE STARTED RUNNING THIS THROUGH, WE NEED TO CALL BACK THAT SAME TEAM OF PEOPLE THAT FROM THE BEGINNING THAT WE TOOK ALL THESE COMMENTS FROM AND HAVE A LOOK AT, LIKE, HEY, IS THIS WORKING? IS IT, YOU KNOW, SO DEFINITELY I WOULD SAY FOLLOW UP AND FIGURE OUT IF IT'S WORKING. 
          BUT I WOULD DO IT IN THE FORMAT OF HOW WE STARTED THIS WHOLE PROCESS. 
          IN MY OPINION. 
          I'LL JUST SAY A SURVEY WASN'T, AND MAYBE THAT'S A BAD WORD. 
          MAYBE JUST A A LITTLE NOTE THAT SAYS IT, WAS THERE ANYTHING WE COULD HAVE DONE TO MAKE THIS PROCESS EASIER OR, OR SUGGESTIONS FOR US? AND WE HAVE DONE THAT IN THE PAST AND GOT NOT VERY MUCH FEEDBACK. 
          'CAUSE AGAIN, PEOPLE EITHER YOU LOVE IT AND YOU DON'T NEED TO SAY ANYTHING OR YOU DON'T, AND THEN YOU DON'T WANNA SAY ANYTHING. 
          SO I DON'T, YEAH, BUT THAT'S GOOD FEEDBACK. 
          I JUST WANTED ECHO AMY'S COMMENT. 
          I SAT ON THAT GROUP THAT DID IT MM-HMM . 
          UM, AND I, I THINK THE, THE, UM, DEVELOPERS WERE THERE WOULD, WOULD SINCERELY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THAT FEEDBACK. 
          RATHER THAT'S JUST A, A BRIEF BREAKFAST OR, OR WHATEVER MM-HMM . 
          UM, I THINK, I THINK THAT WOULD BE, UM, YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          I AGREE. 
          BECAUSE AGAIN, THAT'S, THANK YOU. 
          AND TO THAT POINT, MAYBE, UM, EVEN I THINK THEY WOULD APPRECIATE LIKE THIS UPDATE. 
          LIKE IF YOU COULD EMAIL IT OUT YOUR, THIS PRESENTATION OR THIS INFORMATION OUT TO THAT GROUP THAT SAYS, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS. 
          'CAUSE WE MET WITH THEM. 
          HAS IT BEEN A YEAR NOW? LIKE IT'S BEEN A YEAR AGO. 
          AND THEY'RE PROBABLY LIKE, WHAT'S GOING ON IF, I MEAN, SOME OF THEM MIGHT HAVE PUT APPLICATIONS IN BY NOW AND HAVE SEEN SOME CHANGES, BUT IT'D BE NICE TO TOUCH BASE WITH THEM TO LET THEM KNOW THAT WE ARE STILL WORKING ON WORKING ON IT. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S GOOD FEEDBACK. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WELL, THANK YOU FOR WORKING ON THAT CODE IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS GIVING, RIGHT? BECAUSE YOU WORK ON IT AND WE'LL CONTINUE AND YOU THINK YOU HAVE IT AND THEN YOU GO TO USE 
          [03:40:01]
IT AND YOU'RE LIKE, OH, THIS DOESN'T WORK LIKE I HAD ANTICIPATED. 
          AND THEN YOU GET TO GO BACK AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. 
          AND SO IT'S THE GIFT THAT KEEPS GIVING. 
          BUT I THINK THIS IS A WONDERFUL START ON, UM, WELL THANK YOU ALL ON SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT WERE MUCH OVERDUE, SO APPRECIATE YOUR WORK ON THAT. 
          YEP. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THANKS TO OUR TEAM FOR, FOR THE WORK ON THIS TOO. 
          GOOD. 
          UH, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE THE QUARTERLY INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY BRIEFING TO OUR JULY 1ST MEETING. 
          SO ALL OF YOU PEOPLE THAT WERE JUST HANGING AROUND FOR THAT PRESENTATION, YOU GET TO COME BACK ON THE FIRST AND WE WILL, WE WILL TALK ABOUT IT ON THAT EVENING. 
          SO THAT BRINGS US TO THE STAFF 
          [STAFF COMMENTS]
COMMENTS PORTION OF OUR AGENDA. 
          I WILL DEFER MY COMMENTS TO NEXT WEEK. 
          WOW. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SETTING THE PACE. 
          COUNCIL 
          [COUNCIL REPORTS]
REPORTS, COMMITTEE REPORTS, ADMIN COMMITTEE, COUNCIL MEMBER, DEROSA. 
          DARN. 
          I CAN'T DEFER 'CAUSE UH, SOMETHING'S COMING. 
          BUT THE ADMIN COMMITTEE MET ON TUESDAY, JUNE 17TH. 
          WE HAD ONE ITEM AND THAT WAS TO REVIEW THE, UM, I THINK IT IS NOW THE SECOND OR THIRD DRAFT OF THE, UM, CITY INFORMATION SECURITY POLICY. 
          AS YOU RECALL, THIS WAS A REQUEST OF COUNCIL COMING OUT OF OUR RETREAT. 
          UM, DURING THE COURSE OF THAT DISCUSSION, WE, UM, TALKED A BIT ALSO ABOUT THE GENERAL ENVIRONMENT AND WHAT'S GOING ON ABOUT THE STATE OUT AND WITH THE BUDGET BECAUSE JUST LIKE US OTHER COMMUNITIES AND, UH, ARE LOOKING AT THINGS WITH CYBER. 
          AND SO THAT WAS A GOOD UPDATE. 
          WE PROVIDED, UH, THE COMMITTEE PROVIDED FEEDBACK ON THE DRAFT AND THEN HAVE ASKED THE STAFF TO PLEASE FINALIZE THAT DOCUMENT AND BRING IT TO, I THINK IT WILL BE ON THE FIRST OR WHENEVER THEY'RE READY. 
          THE, UH, THE, TO BRING IT BACK TO THIS GROUP FOR REVIEW. 
          UM, WE, UH, MADE A, A, A FEW, UH, SUGGESTIONS, BUT IT, IT'S A, A SOLID DRAFT, SO WE'RE GOING TO, UM, UM, UH, BRING THAT BACK RATHER THAN GO BACK TO THE COMMITTEE. 
          UM, THE COMMITTEE ALSO SUGGESTED, UM, PREPARING A PUBLIC EDUCATION SORT OF A DOCUMENT RELATED TO THIS BECAUSE IT IS A, A, AN AN IMPORTANT TOPIC AND VERY MUCH LIKE WE TALK ABOUT, UM, UM, FISCAL MANAGEMENT, THE SECURITY OF THIS, THE COMMITTEE THOUGHT THAT WAS IMPORTANT, AND SO THE STAFF'S GONNA WORK ON THAT. 
          SO THE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED BRINGING THAT FORWARD FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION. 
          AND AT THIS POINT, I THINK IT IS THE JULY 1ST MEETING. 
          SO, UM, IT WAS A GREAT DISCUSSION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY, WE'LL STICK WITH YOU FOR LIAISON REPORTS 33 CORRIDOR AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. 
          I WILL JUST MAKE A BRIEF COMMENT. 
          THE 33 QUARTER, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THE CONVERSATIONS WE DO ABOUT IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT UP AND DOWN THE QUARTERS. 
          WE DID SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT INDUSTRIAL USES, INCLUDING DATA CENTERS AND SOME OF THAT. 
          AND IT WAS A VERY, UH, GOOD DISCUSSION. 
          I WOULDN'T SAY THERE WAS ANYTHING, UH, PARTICULARLY, UM, THAT JUMPED OUT AS FAR AS PLANNING AND ZONING. 
          UM, WHAT THE, ONE OF THE LAST MEETINGS THEY HAD, UM, THE ARCHITECT WHO CONSULTS WITH THE CITY AND PROVIDES SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING GROUP GAVE AN UPDATE ON BUILDING MATERIALS. 
          UM, I, I REQUESTED AS PART OF THAT, IS THAT A SUMMARY BACK TO COUNCIL ABOUT NEW BUILDING MATERIALS OR WHAT THEY'RE SEEING TRENDS JUST TO KEEP US INFORMED OF SOME OF THAT. 
          SO I KNOW THEY'RE GONNA WORK ON THAT WITH THE FORMAT OF THAT. 
          I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW THAT IS, BUT, UM, UH, I, THEY FOUND IT QUITE USEFUL. 
          SO THAT'S MY REPORT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          MS. FOX 33 CORRIDOR AND BOARD OF EDUCATION. 
          OKAY, I THINK, UH, KATHY COVERED THE THREE THREE CORRIDOR AND ANDY WILL, UM, JUMP IN ON THIS AS WELL. 
          THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. 
          WE MET JUNE, JUNE 11TH WITH, UM, UM, MEGAN O. CALLAHAN AND, UM, DR. 
          MARCH HAUSEN AND CHRIS VALENTINE AND DIANA RIGBY FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. 
          UM, JUST QUICKLY WE WENT THROUGH SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT WAS SIMPLY ABOUT THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS THAT WILL BE READY, UH, AT CASHIO LANE AND THE HAWK SIGNAL FOR SCHOOL. 
          UM, MENTIONED THAT JEROME TOWNSHIP COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DRAFT FIVE OH IS NEAR IN COMPLETION AND BOTH THE CITY AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAVE SUBMITTED THEIR SUGGESTIONS AND COMMENTS FOR THE JEROME TOWNSHIPS BOARDS TO CONSIDER. 
          UM, THE, UM, THE DRONE AS FIRST RESPONDER IMPLEMENTATION IS UNDERWAY AND DRONES HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE ROOFTOPS OF GRISEL MIDDLE SCHOOL AND SCIOTO HIGH SCHOOL. 
          UH, THE DUBLIN CITY SCHOOL BOARD HAS APPROVED THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER AGREEMENT, AND IT IS NOTABLE THAT OFFICER PAUL BURKES THE SECURE, UM, THE, UH, SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER AT DUBLIN. 
          JEROME HIGH SCHOOL WILL BE RETIRING THIS YEAR. 
          AND OFFICER BURKE HAS SERVED AS AN SRO SINCE 2016 AND HAS DEVELOPED WONDERFUL AND ESSENTIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE STUDENTS AND STAFF, AND WE CONGRATULATE HIM AND WE THANK HIM FOR HIS DEDICATED SERVICE AT OUR SCHOOLS. 
          THERE WAS A DIS DISCUSSION AND CONCERN EXPRESSED ABOUT REGARDING OHIO HOUSE BILL, UM, 3 35, AND I WILL LET ANDY, YOU WANNA GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT THAT. 
          [03:45:01]
SO, UM, JUST PICKING UP WHERE SHE LEFT OFF. 
          DISCUSSION AND CONCERN WERE EXPRESSED REGARDING HOUSE BILL 3 35, WHICH PROPOSES THE ELIMINATION OF INSIDE MILLAGE, A PORTION OF PROPERTY TAXES THAT ARE LEVIED WITHOUT VOTER APPROVAL. 
          UM, THE FOLKS THAT ARE SORT OF POUNDING THEIR CHEST ABOUT THIS ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS $10.5 BILLION SURPLUS THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE SITTING ON, BUT THERE ARE 611 DISTRICTS, SO THAT'S $17 MILLION PER DISTRICT. 
          AND JUST AS A POINT OF REFERENCE THIS, THE DUBLIN CITY SCHOOL'S ANNUAL BUDGET IS $197 MILLION. 
          SO THIS WHOLE CONCEPT THAT DISTRICTS SHOULD NOT HAVE A RAINY DAY FUND WOULD BE LIKE AN EMPLOYER SAYING, DO YOU HAVE A SAVINGS ACCOUNT THAT YOU, AS HAVE AS AN EMERGENCY FUND AT THE BANK? YOU DO? WELL, WE MUST BE PAYING YOU TOO MUCH, THEN IT'S JUST, AS MY DAD WOULD SAY, ASININE, WHICH MEANS FOOLISH OR STUPID. 
          UM, THE DUBLIN CITY SCHOOLS AND THE CITY OF DUBLIN AGREED THAT PASSAGE OF THIS BILL WOULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL LOSSES, OF COURSE, FOR SCHOOLS AND LOCAL DUST, UH, GOVERNMENTS. 
          IT WAS AGREED THAT A JOINT LEVEL LETTER OPPOSING THE BILL WOULD BE SENT TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE SIGNED BY BOTH THE CITY AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          THAT LETTER WAS SENT ON JUNE 16TH, UM, UM, AND A, UH, MEETING, A DUBLIN SAFETY MEETING WAS PLANNED BETWEEN CITY PARTNERS AND SCHOOL DISTRICT TO REVIEW AND COORDINATE EMERGENCY ACTION PLANS. 
          AND THAT WAS DONE TODAY. 
          THANK YOU, ANDY. 
          I WOULD JUST TAG ONE THING ONTO THAT. 
          I THINK THEY'RE GONNA COME UP WITH THE DATA, BUT MUCH OF THOSE DOLLARS THAT ARE IN RESERVES ARE ENCUMBERED, YOU KNOW, FOR LIKE ADDITIONS ONTO SODA HIGH SCHOOL AND THINGS. 
          SO IT'S NOT EVEN, NOT EVEN ALL OF IT'S A RAINY DAY FUND THERE. 
          A SMALL PERCENTAGE IS RAINY DAY FUND. 
          MUCH OF IT IS ENCUMBERED DOLLARS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED YET. 
          80% OF DUBLIN CITY SCHOOL'S BUDGET IS STAFFING. 
          SO IF YOU CUT THEIR, AND THE REST WOULD BE OPERATIONS FACILITIES. 
          THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS, LIKE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT NEW. 
          YEAH, NEW CONSTRUCTION. 
          SO IF YOU CUT FUNDING FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, WHICH MY UNDERSTANDING IS EVERY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES HAS PROPERTY TAXES TO SAY, SO TO SAY NO MORE PROPERTY TAXES IS JUST RIDICULOUS TO BEGIN WITH. 
          UM, IF YOU DID THAT, THEY'D HAVE TO CUT 250 TEACHING POSITIONS. 
          SO IT, THE MATH JUST DOESN'T WORK. 
          THEY'RE NOT THINKING ABOUT WHERE THE MONEY WOULD HAVE TO COME FROM. 
          IT'S GOTTA COME FROM SOMEWHERE. 
          OKAY, MR. REINER, UH, ARTS COUNSEL AND THE SEARCH COMMITTEE, UH, LET'S SEE. 
          VIVIAN RIP RIPLEY'S, UH, EXHIBIT WILL CLOSE. 
          UM, JUNE 27TH, JAN MARK WEISEN BERGER'S EXHIBIT WILL RUN FROM JULY 12TH, AUGUST 29TH. 
          YOUR ORANGE ITALIAN SNAILS ARE ON THE MOVE AND THEY SHOWED UP OVER FRIENDSHIP VILLAGE. 
          UM, I CAN TELL YOU THAT, UH, GONE FROM 90 TO ONE, THAT THE GRAND DOME OF ART IN THIS AREA IS GOING TO BE YOUR NEW ART DIRECTOR, UH, NAME, YET TO BE ANNOUNCED. 
          HIGHLY RESPECT BY EVERYBODY IN THE ARTS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          MS. CRAM, WASHINGTON TOWNSHIPS AND A RB. 
          UM, AS YOU KNOW, I SENT AN EMAIL EARLIER AT THE WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP MEETING LAST WEEK. 
          SOME RESIDENTS CAME ABOUT THE REZONING. 
          SO, UM, IF YOU HAD ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER 'EM. 
          UM, THAT'S ALL I HAD. 
          UH, I WILL GIVE A BRIEF MORSEY UPDATE. 
          UH, AS YOU KNOW, I, UM, AT THE INVITATION, INEXPENSIVE MORSEY WENT FOR THE, UH, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REGIONAL COUNCILS MEETING IN SEATTLE ON THE EIGHTH, JUNE 8TH TO THE 11TH. 
          UH, THERE WAS A BIG EMPHASIS ON TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT. 
          THEY'VE COMPLETED SOME ADDITIONAL RAIL STOPS, UM, COMMUTER RAIL, UM, RAIL STOPS IN THE AREA. 
          REALLY HAD A, A LOT OF, LOT OF NEAT THINGS TO SEE THERE. 
          UM, LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT FUNDING OF TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT, WHAT KIND OF DENSITIES ARE WORKING, WHAT KIND OF DENSITIES AREN'T WORKING. 
          UM, SO IT WAS, IT WAS CERTAINLY A TIME WELL SPENT. 
          WE DID HAVE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ON THE FIFTH, AND THEN WE HAD OUR COMMISSION MEETING ON THE 12TH. 
          PRIOR TO THAT, ON THE 12TH, WE HAD A LUNCHEON WHERE WE HAD THE, UH, NEW CEO OF THE PARTNERSHIP. 
          JASON CAYMAN SHARED A BIT OF HIS VISION ABOUT, UM, WHAT HE HOPES TO SEE, WHAT HE HOPES TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THE PARTNERSHIP. 
          UM, SO WITH 
          [COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE]
THAT, UH, WE WILL BEGIN ROUND TABLE AND I'LL START AT MY FAR RIGHT. 
          I WILL DEFER MINE UNTIL THE FIRST. 
          UM, JUST QUICKLY, UH, WE'RE GETTING READY TO MARK THE 4TH OF JULY. 
          AND, UM, IT JUST MARKS THAT THIS NATION WAS FOUNDED 
          [03:50:01]
ON THE PRINCIPLES OF LIBERTY AND SELF-GOVERNANCE. 
          AND THIS EVENING I CAME TO REALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT IN THIS COUNTRY, THIS ROOM CAN BE FILLED WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE SAYING SOMETHING OPPOSITE, THAT WHAT THEY THINK THEIR GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WANNA HEAR, BUT FELT FREE TO DO THAT AND DID IT WITH WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM OR FEAR TO DO IT. 
          AND SO AS WE CELEBRATE THE 4TH OF JULY, I THINK WE NEED TO BE APPRECIATIVE OF THE FACT THAT WE MAY HAVE OUR PROBLEMS, BUT OTHER COUNTRIES DON'T ALLOW THAT SORT OF THING WE DO. 
          AND WE WORK TOGETHER TO SELF GOVERN AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF AND THAT WE SHOULD CELEBRATE AND THAT WE SHOULD BE APPRECIATIVE OF. 
          SO HAPPY 4TH OF JULY. 
          DITTO. 
          HAPPY 4TH OF JULY. 
          AND I'M GONNA WAIVE THIS SO YOU GUYS CAN GO HOME AND GO TO BED. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NIGHT NIGHT. 
          JUST A QUICK BIG THANK YOU TO OFFICER BURKE AS A DUBLIN JEROME MOM. 
          HE'S JUST BEEN A TREASURE AND I WISH HIM THE HAPPIEST RETIREMENT EVER. 
          IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND PASSING THAT ALONG. 
          TITO TO OFFICER BURKE. 
          HE'S A BIT OF A LEGEND. 
          HE'S THE, HE'S THE LARGEST TEDDY BEAR THAT I, THAT I KNOW. 
          UM, UM, DO YOU WANNA TALK, UH, COMMA WE HAD COMMA ON THE SIXTH. 
          UM, WE TALKED, WE HAD OUR LEGISLATORS LUNCHEON. 
          UH, WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT STATE BUDGET ISSUES. 
          UM, I SPOKE REGARDING THE PUBLIC REALM AND, UM, THE HOME HOME RULE OF GOVERNING THE, THE RIGHT OF WAYS AND, AND THE PUBLIC REALM ADJACENT TO OUR ROADWAY NETWORK. 
          AND THEN THEIR BONDING STATUS WAS ALSO DISCUSSED AT THAT MEETING. 
          UM, I DID ATTEND THE, THE WI REZONING MEETING AT, UH, AT THE TOWNSHIP OFFICES. 
          AND I, I, I WONDER IF MAYBE SOME COMPONENT OF WHAT WE PUT IN THERE IS WHAT, WHAT ARE THE OTHER OPTIONS? YOU KNOW, WHAT HAS THE CITY DONE TO REALLY PROTECT THIS LAND IS IF, IF WE DID NOT PURCHASE SOME OF IT, REZONE IT OR, UH, ANNEX IT AND THOSE THINGS, WHAT, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OPTIONS THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED THERE IF, IF WE WERE NOT STANDING AND HEARD A LOT ABOUT IT INDUSTRIAL PARKWAY AND DROPPING VALUES AND THAT THERE'S, YOU KNOW, AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE THERE'S NO WATER AND SEWER THERE, RIGHT? AND BECAUSE OF THE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO ORDERLY DEVELOPMENT AND REALLY WHAT THE CITY OFFERS IN THIS IS AN ORDERLY FORM OF DEVELOPMENT. 
          I JUST WONDER IF MAYBE THAT SHOULDN'T BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION TO, TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WHAT WE'VE, WHAT WE'VE DONE IS REALLY LARGELY PROTECTING THEM FROM WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED HAD WE NOT BEEN ENGAGED, BECAUSE IT CERTAINLY WAS GOING, WHEN LANDOWNERS WANT TO SELL, THEIR DEVELOPMENT WILL HAPPEN AND WE OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY OF ORDERLY DEVELOPMENT VERSUS JUST DEVELOPMENT. 
          UM, WANNA CONGRATULATE THE CHAMBER ON A GREAT CORPORATE CHARITY CUP. 
          I THINK OHIO HEALTH WAS THE WINNER OF THE OVERALL WINNER OF THAT, UH, COMPETITION, WHICH WE SHOULD EXPECT NOTHING ELSE FROM OUR LARGEST HEALTH SYSTEM THAN TO WIN THE, UH, CHARITY CUP. 
          UM, AND THEN I WANNA HOLD UP THIS, UM, I STOPPED OUT AT MOUNT CARMEL TODAY AND THEY GAVE US THIS FRAME TO HANG AND UH, BASICALLY WHAT THEY HAD WAS THEY HAD WDO ELEMENTARY STUDENTS THAT MADE PLACE MATS THAT WILL GO ON, UM, ALL OF THE TRAYS THAT ARE DELIVERED TO RESIDENTS IN THE HOSPITAL. 
          AND SO THIS IS JUST A SMALL SAMPLING OF SOME OF THEM THAT WILL FIND THEIR WAY ONTO THOSE PLACE MATS. 
          AND, UM, DIANE IS, UM, SHE'S RETIRING, UH, IN JULY, EARLY IN JULY. 
          AND SO, UM, SHE PASSED THIS ALONG TO US TODAY AND CERTAINLY WANT TO CONGRATULATE HER ON HER RETIREMENT. 
          AND THE FACILITY IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. 
          AND, UM, SHE HAD INDICATED TODAY THAT THEY WERE, UM, HITTING THEIR PROJECTIONS AND THEIR TARGETS. 
          AND SO THAT WAS VERY GOOD TO HEAR AND WANTED TO PASS THAT ALONG TO YOU AS WELL. 
          IF THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER, WE WILL STAND ADJOURNED. 
          GOOD NIGHT. 
          YES.
