OKAY. PROCLAMATION. WHEREAS THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE MARATHON IS IN ITS 29TH YEAR.
AND WHEREAS THE MARATHON HAS RUN THROUGH FAIRBORN FOR THE PAST 19 YEARS.
AND WHEREAS, THE FAIRBORN FLY ZONE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO CHEER ON THE RUNNERS AND WHEELERS WHEN THEY GO THROUGH DOWNTOWN FAIRBORN.
AND WHEREAS THE FLY ZONE IS A PLACE, AN EVENT AND A WAY TO SUPPORT OUR TROOPS AND MARATHON RUNNERS. NOW THEREFORE, I, DAN KIRKPATRICK, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FAIRBORN, DO HEREBY DECLARE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH, 2025 AS US AIR FORCE MARATHON FLY ZONE DAY AND ENCOURAGE ALL FAIRBORN CITIZENS TO COME OUT AND SUPPORT THE MARATHON PARTICIPANTS.
AND FRED, IF YOU EITHER ONE OF YOU WANT TO SAY A FEW WORDS.
YEAH. YEARS AGO, WE STARTED A FLY ZONE.
JUST TO APPRECIATE THE YOU SHOW APPRECIATION FOR THE US AIR FORCE AND THE MILITARY VETERANS. AND SO WE ESTABLISHED THE FLY ZONE, WHICH IS DOWNTOWN MAIN STREET.
AND ALTHOUGH THEY GO THROUGH SEVERAL OTHER STREETS THE MAIN, MAIN FOCUS IS DOWNTOWN PART OF THE RUN.
AND WE'RE AT THE 14 TO 16 MILES, SO THEY GOT 7 OR 8 MILES TO GO.
SO THIS IS WHEN THEY REALLY NEED SOME SOME PEP PEP TALK.
AND AND SO THIS YEAR IS OUR SECOND YEAR.
WE'RE ACTUALLY GIVING OUT POPSICLES WHEN THEY COME THROUGH THE GATE AND THEN PAST JAMIE'S IN THE OLD THEATER. AND THEN WHEN THEY COME BACK OUT THEN WE GIVE THEM A PIECE OF BACON, AND SOME OF THEM DON'T LIKE TO HAVE BACON.
THEY SAY THEY GET SICK, BUT SO WE DON'T GIVE EVERYBODY BACON.
SO IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN OUT TO SEE THIS, I REALLY NEED TO TRY IT BECAUSE YOU REALLY RESPECT THE TREATIES. WHEELERS.
[00:05:02]
THEY COME THROUGH ABOUT 8:00 AND AND THEN FOLLOWED BY THE, THE FAST RUNNERS, AND WE HAVE SOME WORLD CLASS RUNNERS IN THE EVENT AND 1500 AND THE FIRST FEW WILL BE THROUGH ABOUT 15 AFTER EIGHT AND THEY'LL BE BOOGIE.AND THEY DON'T, THEY DON'T WANT ANYTHING THAT EXCEPT A WIN.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE HOPE TO SEE SOME OF YOU OUT THERE RUNNING.
OKAY. OUR FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS THEN IS ORDINANCE 2325.
[VI. New Business]
IS THERE A MOTION TO READ ORDINANCE 23 DASH 25 BY TITLE ONLY DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.SO MOVED. SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED. ORDINANCE 23 DASH 25 MAKING SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS TO THE APPROPRIATIONS BUDGET OF THE CITY OF FAIRBORN STATE OF OHIO, AND AUTHORIZING TRANSFERS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31ST, 2025, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
HILLARY BROWNING, FINANCE DIRECTOR, PRESENTING.
OKAY, SO TODAY WE HAVE ROUTINE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER.
OK FIVE 5705.40 IS OUR AUTHORIZING PIECE OF THE OHIO REVISED CODE AS TO WHY WE REVISE.
SO WE'LL START WITH THE GENERAL FUND.
OR RATHER, JUDGE CAPPELLI IS REQUESTING $11,000 FOR THE MUNICIPAL COURT FOR POSTAGE AND BANKING ANALYSIS FEES.
FINANCE IS REQUESTING $1,360 FOR BANKING ANALYSIS FEES.
THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR INTEREST INVESTMENT PROCEEDS.
WE ARE ALSO REQUESTING $1,300 IN INCOME TAX ADMINISTRATION FOR BANKING ANALYSIS FEES ASSOCIATED WITH OUR INCOME TAX REVENUES.
PARKS AND RECREATION $350 FOR CREDIT CARD PROCESSING.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IS REQUESTING 11,275 TO MATCH THE DIFFERENCE NEEDED FOR A CHIP CHANGE ORDER. WE HAD A HOME THAT EXCEEDED THE CAP, AND IF THE GENERAL FUND DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OFFER THAT LOAN TERM TO THE HOMEOWNER BECAUSE IT IS ABOVE THE ALLOWABLE AMOUNT FOR OUR CHIP GRANT.
WE'RE REQUESTING $4,148 FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN. WE RECEIVED A AGREEMENT FROM GREENE COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH.
IN THE SAME AMOUNT. FOR FIRE, OUR AMBULANCE COLLECTIONS FOR AMBULANCE SERVICES IS PERFORMING VERY WELL THIS YEAR.
MS MC HAS CHANGED THEIR COLLECTIONS APPROACH.
AND SO WITH THE $60,000 IN EXPENSE, WE ARE PROJECTING TO HAVE AT LEAST $300,000 IN GREATER REVENUE IN FISCAL YEAR 2020 FOR OUR REVENUE BUDGET WAS 1.1 MILLION, BUT WE'VE ALREADY COLLECTED THE REVENUE BUDGET AS OF AUGUST.
SO WE'RE EXPECTING TO HAVE AT LEAST ANOTHER $300,000 THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR.
WE'RE AVERAGING ABOUT 129,000IN COLLECTIONS A MONTH.
FIRE OPERATIONS ALSO HAS A NEED FOR A PRETTY EXPENSIVE PART, $20,000 FOR SOME EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE NEEDS.
POLICE IS REQUESTING A NO FUND BALANCE CHANGE, BUT THEY WOULD LIKE TO USE SALARIES AND WAGES TO SUPPORT A NEW POLICE RECRUIT.
[00:10:02]
WE NOW PAY FOR THE RECRUIT TRAINING OUT OF NON PSC LINES, SO WE NEED TO KIND OF MOVE IT FROM THE PSC TO THE NON PSC AND REQUIRES YOUR APPROVAL.THE COURT HAS ALSO REQUESTED THE UTILIZATION OF THEIR PROBATION SERVICES FUND 7500 OUT OF CASH BALANCE FOR TRAINING.
AND WATER OPERATING AND SEWER OPERATING.
WE'RE MAKING SOME BIG INCREASES HERE BECAUSE OUR ELECTRICITY RATE IS INCREASED.
WE DO OUR VERY BEST TO NEGOTIATE THE BEST RATES WE CAN.
SOME THINGS ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL, AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
SO OUR AGREEMENTS WITH AES ARE GREATER.
55,000 IS THE INCREASE THAT WE NEED FOR THE WATER OPERATING FUND, AND 113,000 FOR THE SEWER OPERATING FUND THROUGH THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.
MY APPROACH IS TO INCREASE FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO NEED THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO COME BACK TO YOU MONTH AFTER MONTH.
SO THIS IS OUR BEST PROJECTION HERE ON WHAT WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO NEED THROUGH THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR. AND JUST A NOTE TOO.
WE'RE NOT INCREASING IN THE REST OF THE FUNDS.
WE'VE ACTUALLY DONE A SERIES OF BUDGET TRANSFERS TO SUPPORT ALL OF OUR OTHER OPERATIONS. BUT THE INCREASE TO WATER AND SEWER, BECAUSE THEY ARE SO LARGE, THERE ARE LARGEST ENERGY USERS.
WE DO HAVE TO ASK FOR MORE BUDGET HERE AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.
WE HAVE ANOTHER RATE INCREASE HERE FROM OUR TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER.
SO WE'RE SEEKING 7200 FOR OUR DOWNTOWN WI-FI PROGRAM AND CURB AND SIDEWALK.
THE TOTAL PROGRAM WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT OVER THE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE.
SO WE'RE REQUESTING 12,106 TO INCREASE.
THIS DOES GET ASSESSED BACK TO THE PROPERTY OWNER.
SO THIS WILL BE COMING BACK IN REVENUES OF THE SAME AMOUNT.
OVERALL WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 2325.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
THANK YOU. AND WE'LL START COUNCIL QUESTIONS WITH COUNCILMAN PRITCHARD.
I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. HILLARY. YOU'RE WELCOME. I HAVE NONE, THANK YOU. I HAVE NONE.
THANK YOU. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE POLICE ONE, PLEASE? YES. SO WE VERY SPECIFICALLY HAVE A RECRUIT THAT IS MOVING FROM DISPATCH TO PATROL. AND SO THAT WAS NOT NECESSARILY A BUDGETED MOVE.
AND SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO MOVE IT FROM THE PSC TO NON PSC IS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T SPECIFICALLY BUDGET IT THIS WAY FOR THIS SPECIFIC PERSON.
GOTCHA. AND JUST ON A BUDGETARY BASIS.
WE REALLY WANT TO KEEP THE COST OF THAT FTE OR OUR FULL TIME EQUIVALENT WITHIN THAT SAME FULL TIME EQUIVALENTS BUDGET.
OTHERWISE, I'D HAVE TO TAKE THE BUDGET THAT WAS ALLOCATED FOR ANOTHER RECRUIT TO USE FOR THEIR TRAINING. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING TO MOVE IT.
DOES DOES THE CITY GET TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ELECTRIC AGGREGATION OR IS THAT A RESIDENTIAL USE ONLY PROGRAM? WE DO.
I'M ASSUMING THAT THIS IS CONSUMPTION.
YEAH, THERE'S BOTH A COMBO OF CONSUMPTION AND THEN SUPPLY.
SO CONSUMPTION, ESPECIALLY AT THE WATER AND SEWER TREATMENT PLANT, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN REALLY CONTROL BECAUSE THAT IS ENTIRELY BASED ON USER DEMAND. AND WE OBVIOUSLY DO WANT PEOPLE TO BE USING THE WATER UTILITY AND DEFINITELY THE SEWER UTILITY. SO ENERGY IS VERY IMPORTANT THERE.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I HAD A QUESTION. YOU MENTIONED THE DOWNTOWN WI-FI.
ARE WE LOOKING. I THOUGHT WE WERE LOOKING AT THAT WE'RE NOT USING THAT ANYMORE.
I WANTED TO DISCUSS THAT WITH COUNCIL WITH FUTURE WORK SESSION.
I HAVE A QUESTION. OKAY. YEAH.
FOR NOW, THIS IS GOING TO PROVISION US THROUGH THE END OF OUR CURRENT TERMS. SO WHATEVER THE DECISION IS, THERE'S STILL A PERIOD OF TIME WHERE WE HAVE TO GIVE NOTICE WHETHER WE ARE KEEPING OR WE'RE NOT.
AND UNTIL THAT TIME, YOU KNOW, WE DO.
WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO CONTINUE TO BE OPERATING.
SO AT THIS POINT, IT'S ABOVE BUDGET.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE SEEKING THE INCREASE.
OKAY. THANK YOU. YEP. SAME QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
SO ANYWAY MIKE, JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, ON OUR SCREEN RIGHT HERE, WE'RE SEEING THE 4TH OF JULY PARADE INSTEAD OF THE COUNCIL MEETING, IS IT? I NOTICED THAT THE COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
OKAY. I WAS ASSURED THAT THAT THAT.
THAT'S FINE. OKAY. SORRY TO INTERRUPT THIS PROCEEDING, BUT WE'RE NORMALLY WE WOULD BE SEEING YOU PRESENT.
WE'RE SEEING A. YEAH, I CAN SEE THE REFLECTION OF IT.
OKAY. APOLOGIZE FOR THAT INTERRUPTION.
IT'S OKAY. OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 23 DASH 25 DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
[00:15:01]
SO MOVED. SECOND. OKAY.KIRKPATRICK. YES. ORDINANCE 23 DASH 25 IS DULY ADOPTED.
OKAY. NEXT, WE WILL MOVE ON TO ORDINANCE 22 DASH 25.
IS THERE A MOTION TO READ ORDINANCE 24, DASH 25 FOR THE FIRST TIME BY TITLE ONLY.
SO MOVED SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
AYE. AYE. OPPOSED. ORDINANCE 2425 FIRST READING AUTHORIZING THE APPROVAL OF A ZONING MAP. AMENDMENT FROM PARKLAND P TO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL MDR FOR PARCELS THAT INCLUDE CITY LOTS ONE, TWO, AND THREE OF THE HAILE PLAT.
PARCEL NUMBER A02000200160052600, AND PARCEL NUMBER A02000200160052700.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE ZEROS.
OKAY. WE WILL SET THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ORDINANCE 2425 FOR OCTOBER 6TH, 2025. THANK YOU. OKAY.
NEXT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO RESOLUTIONS.
IS THERE A MOTION NOW TO READ RESOLUTION 40 DASH 25 BY TITLE ONLY.
SO MOVED. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
AYE. OPPOSED. RESOLUTION 40 DASH 25.
AUTHORIZING THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE AMOUNTS AND RATES AS DETERMINED BY THE BUDGET COMMISSION, AND AUTHORIZING THE NECESSARY TAX LEVIES AND CERTIFYING THEM TO THE GREENE COUNTY AUDITOR.
HILARY BROWNING, FINANCE DIRECTOR.
SORRY, I OVERSHOT MYSELF THERE FOR A SECOND.
OKAY. SO OUR NEXT PRESENTATION IS ABOUT OUR PROPERTY TAX AMOUNTS AND RATES.
THIS IS AN ANNUAL PROCESS THAT HAPPENS IN SEPTEMBER OF EVERY YEAR.
40 DASH 25 IS REQUIRED BY THE OHIO REVISED CODE, SECTION 57. 05.34 USUALLY WE WILL HAVE HAD THE OFFICIAL FILING OF THE TAX BUDGETS.
THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN JULY, BUT GREENE COUNTY HAS MOVED TO THE PROCESS.
AS WITH MOST OHIO COUNTIES WHERE THEY ARE WAIVING THE FILING OF THE OFFICIAL TAX BUDGET THAT HAPPENED THIS YEAR.
AND SO INSTEAD, WE ARE GOING WITH A RESOLUTION OF AMOUNTS AND RATES.
THE BUDGET COMMISSION DID REQUIRE AND REVIEW OUR OFFICIAL CERTIFICATE OF ESTIMATED RESOURCES, WHICH I SUBMITTED IN JULY, AND THEY HAVE PROVIDED US THAT BACK FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026. IT'S LARGELY PROJECTION BASED.
THE CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS THE COUNTY AUDITOR'S DETERMINATION FOR WHAT OUR REVENUES ARE GOING TO BE IN 2026.
IT LOOKS IT LOOKS AT WHAT THE TAXES ARE, TAXES THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE LEVIED.
AND IT ALSO ESTIMATES THE PROPERTY TAX VALUES AND THE REVENUES GENERATED FROM THOSE VALUES.
THIS IS THE OFFICIAL AMOUNTS AND RATES.
AND SO I'LL JUST BRIEFLY GO THROUGH IT.
WE HAVE A COUPLE OF LEVIES BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE TEN MILL LIMITATION.
SO WE HAVE ABOUT 1.5, A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN 1.5 MILLION THAT IS GENERATED FROM OUR TOTAL 3.35 MILLS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CITY'S GENERAL FUND.
WE ALSO HAVE A LEVY FOR THE POLICE PENSION AND THE FIRE PENSION.
THOSE SHOULD GENERATE ABOUT 243,000 EACH NEXT YEAR.
AND THEN WE HAVE 4.4 MILLS FOR FIRE AND 4.4 MILLS FOR POLICE.
AND THOSE ARE ESTIMATED TO GENERATE JUST UNDER 2.5 MILLION EACH.
THIS WILL MAKE OFFICIAL THIS RESOLUTION 40 DASH 25 WILL MAKE OFFICIAL OUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE RATES FROM THE PRIOR SLIDE.
THESE RATES. AND OBVIOUSLY WE RECOMMEND APPROVING THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION SO THAT WE CAN FILE WITH GREENE COUNTY TO OFFICIALLY ACCEPT OUR TAX REVENUE STARTING IN JANUARY OF NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
AND WE'LL START COUNCIL QUESTIONS WITH COUNCILMAN FRITCHEY.
I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
I HAVE NONE. THANKS, HILLARY. NO, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.
HILLARY. THANK YOU. I HAVE NONE.
AND I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. IT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DO. SO THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. THANK YOU.
OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 40? DASH 25. SO MOVED. SECOND.
[00:20:02]
MR. FRITZSCHE. YES. MR. MCCUBBINS. YES. MISS STANTON? YES. MR. KIRKPATRICK. YES.RESOLUTION 40 DASH 25 IS DULY ADOPTED.
IS THERE A MOTION NOW TO READ RESOLUTION 41 DASH 25 BY TITLE ONLY.
SO MOVED. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
AYE. OPPOSED. RESOLUTION 4125 AUTHORIZING THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TAX INCENTIVE REVIEW COUNCIL REGARDING TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICTS AND COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT AREA AGREEMENTS.
CHERISE SCHELL, DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR PRESENTING.
THE GREENE COUNTY TAX INCENTIVE REVIEW COUNCIL, ALSO KNOWN AS THE TURK, MET ON AUGUST 27TH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR OBLIGATION UNDER ORC 5709.
THIS MEETING IS CONDUCTED TO ALLOW THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS, SUCH AS THE CITY, TO PRESENT INFORMATION RELATED TO ANY CURRENT ENTERPRISE ZONES, COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT AREA AGREEMENTS, AND TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICTS.
THE CITY IS CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN FOUR CRA AGREEMENTS AND HAS THREE DESIGNATED TIF DISTRICTS TO REVIEW OUR CRA AGREEMENTS.
DESCARTES COLA, WHICH IS PEPSI COLA, HAS A 15 YEAR, 100% PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT.
IT WAS GRANTED TO CREATE 150 FULL TIME JOBS AND $7.5 MILLION IN PAYROLL.
THIS OBLIGATION HAS BEEN MET AND THEREFORE A RECOMMENDATION WAS MADE AND APPROVED BY THE TRC TO CONTINUE THAT PARTICULAR AGREEMENT.
JB IX, LLC. THIS AGREEMENT WAS INITIALLY APPROVED AS A TEN YEAR, 50% PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT CONTINGENT UPON CREATING 34 FULL TIME JOBS AND 3.3 MILLION IN PAYROLL WITHIN THE FIRST 12 MONTHS.
HOWEVER, THE PAYROLL BENCHMARK WAS NOT MET IN 2024.
THE TERM WAS REDUCED FROM TEN YEARS TO FIVE YEARS, AND THE TAX INCENTIVE REVIEW COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY, UNANIMOUSLY EXCUSE ME, RECOMMENDED CONTINUATION OF THAT AGREEMENT.
UNDER THE ADJUSTED TERM THAT SITUATION IS A LOCATION THAT HAS MULTIPLE LOCATIONS AROUND THE THE GREATER METRO AREA, AND THEIR SURGEONS WORK IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. SO WHILE THEY HAVE THEIR EMPLOYMENT NUMBERS, THEY HAVEN'T MET THEIR PAYROLL AT THAT PARTICULAR SITE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS THERE.
FAIRBORN CEMENT COMPANY HAS A TEN YEAR, 50% PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT BASED ON A $20 MILLION CAPITAL INVESTMENT AND A RETAINED PAYROLL OF 11 MILLION.
THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROJECT CONSTRUCTION WAS COMPLETED IN THE LAST QUARTER OF 2022, AND THE RECOMMENDATION WAS MADE AND APPROVED BY THE TURK TO CONTINUE THAT AGREEMENT.
AND FINALLY, MILLS BARNETT SEARS HOLDINGS LLC.
THEY HAVE A TEN YEAR, 50% PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT AND AGREED TO CREATE 93 FULL TIME JOBS, ONE PART TIME JOB, AND 11 MILLION IN PAYROLL DURING THE FIRST 12 MONTHS FOLLOWING THE EXECUTION OF THE AGREEMENT. THE COMPANY CURRENTLY EMPLOYS 116 FULL TIME STAFF, WHICH IS JUST SHORT OF THE THE 120 THEY PROJECTED TO CREATE IN THE FIRST FOUR YEARS OF THE AGREEMENT. HOWEVER, THEIR ANNUAL PAYROLL HAS EXCEEDED THE PROJECTED METRIC BY 3 MILLION.
SO THE RECOMMENDATION WAS MADE AND APPROVED FOR CONTINUATION OF THAT AGREEMENT IN RECOGNITION OF THE PAYROLL INCREASE OUR TIF DISTRICTS.
HILLARY WAS KIND ENOUGH TO ATTEND THIS MEETING AND REVIEW THE FINANCIAL ACTIVITY FOR ALL THREE OF THE TIF DISTRICTS.
THE CITY RECOMMENDED AND RECEIVED UNANIMOUS APPROVAL FROM THE TRC FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THOSE DISTRICTS AS WELL.
STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT COUNCIL ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE GREENE COUNTY TAX INCENTIVE REVIEW COUNCIL.
AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. WE'LL START COUNCIL QUESTIONS WITH COUNCILWOMAN CHESS. YEAH. VERY GOOD AND VERY THOROUGH.
I KNOW THAT WE HAD TO GO OVER THE SAME THING BEFORE AND IT WAS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME, BUT ACTUALLY IT'S GOTTEN BETTER.
AND SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK.
SURE. I HAVE NO QUESTIONS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT THAT THESE THINGS ARE VERY CRITICAL, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS JUST ONE OF THE TOOLS IN THE TOOL BELT.
THANK YOU. CHERISE. OF COURSE.
I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANKS. SURE.
I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. CHERISE I HAVE NO QUESTIONS.
SORRY. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
THIS IS JUST AS IS ALREADY MENTIONED.
ONE OF THE EXAMPLES OF HOW WE ENTICE BUSINESSES TO A COMMUNITY IS THROUGH PROGRAMS LIKE THIS. SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY SEEING HOW THOSE PROGRAMS BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY. YES. THANK YOU.
OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 4125.
SO MOVED. SECOND. JULIE, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
MR.. MCCUBBINS. YAY! MR. REASTER. YES. MR. CHESS.
[00:25:01]
MISS STANTON. YES. MR. KIRKPATRICK. YES. RESOLUTION 41 DASH 25 IS DULY ADOPTED.NEXT, IS THERE A MOTION TO READ RESOLUTION 42 DASH 25 BY TITLE ONLY.
SO MOVED. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
AYE. OPPOSED. RESOLUTION 42 DASH 25.
PUBLIC HEARING AUTHORIZING THE APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 95,800 SQUARE FOOT INDEPENDENT SENIOR RESIDENTIAL FACILITY TO BE KNOWN AS GREEN OAKS OF FAIRBORN.
LOCATED ON 5.9517 ACRES AT 212 FORKS, CHANGE COURT CITY, LOT 9674, AND A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT.
THE OWNER OF THIS SITE IS ZBA, LLC, AND THE APPLICANT IS EVERGREEN REAL ESTATE GROUP. WHO IS ALSO HERE THIS EVENING? THIS IS A RENDERING OF THE PROPOSED FACILITY.
WOW. I'LL HAVE SOME OTHER RENDERINGS A LITTLE BIT LATER.
SO. SO JUST TAKING A LOOK AT WHERE THIS SITE IS LOCATED HERE.
SO THIS LAND, APPROXIMATELY SIX ACRES, IS LOCATED.
IT'S OUTLINED IN YELLOW, BUT THIS WILL BE EAST OF 675 AND EXCHANGE COURT SOUTH OF DAYTON, YELLOW SPRINGS ROAD, WEST OF TREYVON ROAD AND NORTH OF COMMERCE CENTER.
UNIT DEVELOPMENT SURROUNDED BY OTHER PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES, AS WELL AS GENERAL COMMERCIAL AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.
SO THIS IS A LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN FOR THE ALMOST 96,000 SQUARE FOOT RESIDENTIAL FACILITY, AS SAID TO BE KNOWN AS GREEN OAKS OF FAIRBORN.
THEY'RE PROPOSING 120 UNITS AT THIS FACILITY ON A SIX ACRE PARCEL.
THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 70 PARKING SPACES WITH ACCESSIBLE SPACES AS WELL.
THIS PARKING ACTUALLY AT THIS SITE IS REALLY PRIMARILY FOR STAFF.
ABOUT 5% OF THE RESIDENTS AT THESE TYPES OF FACILITIES REALLY HAVE A VEHICLE.
SO MOST OF THE PARKING IS FOR STAFF AND VISITORS.
I SHOULD ALSO SAY THE SITE THAT ALSO HAS OUTDOOR AMENITIES, AS YOU CAN SEE. AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF AREAS OUTDOOR PATIOS.
THERE'S A ANOTHER OUTDOOR PATIO ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.
WHICH ONE OF THE ELEVATIONS OR RENDERINGS WILL SHOW THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER? SO THIS NEXT SITE PLAN THIS BUILDING IS OUTLINED IN RED.
JUST THESE ARE ACTUALLY MOVEMENTS TO SIMULATE WHAT, A FIRE TRUCK AND THAT SIZE OF A VEHICLE, HOW THAT MANEUVERS THROUGH THE SITE.
SO JUST WANTED TO SHOW THAT TO YOU, LET YOU KNOW THAT OUR EMERGENCY SERVICES STAFF HAVE TAKEN A LOOK AT THIS, HAVE REVIEWED THIS SITE PLAN AND ARE SUPPORTIVE THAT IT CAN ACCOMMODATE THOSE VEHICLES IF THOSE SERVICES ARE NEEDED.
AND THIS IS A LOOK AT THE LANDSCAPING PLAN.
SO THIS SHOWS THESE KIND OF BUBBLES OR CHECKED AREAS ARE EXISTING TREES THAT MAY BE ALONG THE NORTHERN, EASTERN AND SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE SITE.
THE APPLICANT PLANS TO KEEP PROBABLY 50 TO 70% OF THOSE TREES IF, IF THEY'RE SALVAGEABLE.
THAT'S THEIR HOPE IS ONCE THEY GET IN THERE AND CLEAR THAT OUT, MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE THAT, THAT THEY CAN REMAIN.
BUT IN THOSE EXTRA IN THOSE SPACES WHERE THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO KEEP THAT, THEY WILL PLANT EVERGREENS AS A BUFFER.
AND JUST THE TOPOGRAPHY ON THIS SITE.
SO THIS IS THE NORTH AND THE EAST AND THE SOUTH SIDE.
SO THE ELEVATIONS ARE HIGHER ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THIS SITE THAN THEY ARE ALONG THE WESTERN SIDE. SO REALLY, IT'S ALMOST LIKE WHEN THEY START TO DEVELOP THIS SITE, IT WILL ACTUALLY KIND OF BE IN A BOWL.
SO THAT DOES KIND OF OFFER ITS OWN BUFFERING FROM THOSE ADJACENT PROPERTIES.
BUT THERE DEFINITELY WILL BE PLANTINGS AND ALONG EXCHANGE COURT TO JUST BUFFER THIS BUILDING WITH THE ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL THAT IS JUST DUE WEST OF THIS.
BUT JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S ADEQUATE SCREENING. AND THEN ALSO JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THERE IS A DETENTION POND LOCATED TO COLLECT STORMWATER ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE SITE. THE NEXT SLIDE, ONE OF THE DISCUSSIONS WE HAD WITH THIS APPLICANT. SO THIS IS A FOUR STORY BUILDING.
AND WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS, I WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED, JUST WITH THE HEIGHT TO HOW THIS SITE, HOW THIS BUILDING WAS GOING TO BLEND IN AT THIS LOCATION. SO ONE THING THE APPLICANT DID WAS REALLY TRY TO SHOW HOW THIS BUILDING WILL BLEND INTO THIS SITE. SO IT'S A LITTLE HARD WITH THIS VIEW.
BUT THERE IS A BUILDING BACK HERE, SO IT'S PROBABLY KIND OF GOOD THAT YOU CAN'T
[00:30:03]
SEE IT TO SHOW HOW WELL IT DOES BLEND IN.AND THIS IS A VIEW TAKEN FROM DAYTON YELLOW SPRINGS ROAD AND EXCHANGE COURT.
THIS NEXT VIEW IS FROM STERLING.
SO IT DOES YOU CAN SEE IT A LITTLE BIT BETTER JUST IN THIS FORMAT.
BUT JUST WANTED TO SHOW COUNCIL HOW THIS BUILDING WILL, WILL LOOK ON THIS SITE AND WHAT A FOUR STORY STRUCTURE DOES LOOK LIKE WITH THE TOPOGRAPHY IN THAT AREA. AND AS I SAID, WE DO HAVE A FEW MORE RENDERINGS JUST TO SHOW WHAT THOSE EXTERIOR BRICK AND STONE COLORS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
AND FIBER CEMENT WILL SERVE AS THE SIDING FOR THIS FACILITY.
YOU CAN SEE THE BOARD AND BATTEN SIDING, AS WELL AS JUST SHOWING THE OVERHANG WHEN PEOPLE ARE BEING DROPPED OFF OR PICK UP OR AS WELL AS JUST THIS KIND OF OUTDOOR FRONT PATIO, FOR RESIDENTS TO SIT AND AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, WATCH THE SUNSET. FACING THAT WESTERN VIEW.
SO THEN WE'LL TAKE ANOTHER BRIEF LOOK.
SO THIS IS THE FLOOR PLAN. THERE ARE FOR THOSE 120 UNITS ON FOUR FLOORS.
THE FIRST FLOOR. I MEAN, THAT'S WHERE YOUR DINING HALL IS.
THERE'S A BISTRO GAME ROOM, CLINIC.
AND THERE ARE SOME RESIDENCES ON THE FIRST FLOOR.
AND THEN THE SECOND THROUGH FOURTH FLOORS ARE RATHER SIMILAR WHERE YOU HAVE MORE OF THOSE RESIDENTIAL UNITS. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 67 STUDIO UNITS AND 53 ONE BEDROOM UNITS.
AND THE REST OF THESE FLOORS HAVE A FITNESS CENTER, COMMUNITY ROOM, AND ACTIVITY ROOM ON EACH FLOOR.
THERE'S LAUNDRY FACILITIES ON EACH FLOOR AND SUNROOMS ON EACH FLOOR.
TAKING A LOOK AT JUST AN OVERVIEW.
THE PRELIMINARY PUD PROCESS OR A LIST OF STANDARDS.
AND SO WE DID REVIEW THOSE STANDARDS THAT WERE APPLICABLE TO THIS PRELIMINARY PLAN.
AND THE SITE DOES INCLUDE APPROPRIATE BUFFERING ACCESS, UTILITY CONNECTIONS, BUILDING DESIGN.
AND THE USE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND CORRIDOR DESIGN.
AND JUST ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT THIS SITE WILL EMPLOY 50 FULL TIME STAFF AND A NUMBER OF PART TIME STAFF AS WELL.
THE TIMELINE FOR THE PROJECT IS TO BREAK GROUND NEXT SPRING AND BE COMPLETED BY THE FALL OF 2028, SO THAT WILL PROBABLY BE HERE BEFORE WE KNOW IT.
SO PLANNING BOARD DID, BASED ON THE GENERAL REVIEW CRITERIA, THEY DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 4225.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. BEFORE WE COME TO COUNCIL QUESTIONS.
RESOLUTION 42 DASH 4225 DOES REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING, SO ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK TO RESOLUTION 42 DASH 25 PLEASE COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME.
PLEASE GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.
I, KEVIN 566 WEST LAKE STREET.
FIRST OF ALL, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE AND DISCUSS YOUR MIC UP. SO YOU GOT IT. THANK YOU.
THIS 120 UNIT NEWLY PROPOSED ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY.
REALLY A A TREMENDOUS THANK YOU TO TO KATHLEEN AND ALL THE STAFF.
IT'S BEEN A REALLY COLLABORATIVE PROCESS, AND THEIR SUPPORT GOES A LONG WAY.
GOT INTO THE DETAILS LAST WEEK WITH WITH THE PLANNING BOARD.
AND AGAIN, THAT FEEDBACK WAS REALLY APPRECIATED.
AND ULTIMATELY THEIR, THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE AS WELL. BIT OF AN INTRODUCTION FROM ME.
I'M LIKE I SAID, KEVIN DISCOURSE WITH EVERGREEN REAL ESTATE GROUP WHO'S SERVING AS THE DEVELOPER ON THIS PROJECT.
I'M JOINED BY MARK SMOLEY WITH THE MANNEQUIN SMITHGROUP THERE.
THE CIVIL ENGINEER ON THIS PROJECT, AND THEN CONNOR WITH WW THERE ACTING AS AS ARCHITECT AS WELL. SO A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON EVERGREEN.
WE'RE A DEVELOPER OF RESIDENTIAL AND ASSISTED LIVING REAL ESTATE.
WE WE HAVE ABOUT 1100 UNITS IN OHIO.
OUR EXPERIENCES HERE HAVE BEEN BEEN REALLY GOOD. AND SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY HERE AS WELL.
I THINK KATHLEEN DID A REALLY GOOD JOB SUMMARIZING THE USE AS A WHOLE, A FEW THINGS THAT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT FOR YOU GUYS.
WE REALLY THINK THAT THIS USE IS A REALLY GREAT FIT FOR THE SITE.
IT'S KIND OF WITHIN A MIXED USE CORRIDOR.
WE HAVE COMMERCIAL USES TO THE NORTH. KATHLEEN POINTED OUT THE RESIDENTIAL USES INDUSTRIAL TO THE EAST.
YOU KNOW, WE THINK OF ASSISTED LIVING AS A KIND OF RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL USE KIND OF MIX IN THE MIDDLE. AND SO WE THINK THIS SITE IS REALLY A GREAT FIT FOR THIS USE, GIVEN IT'S KIND OF RIGHT IN THE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL CORRIDOR AND THE COMMERCIAL OR COMMERCIAL USES UP TO THE NORTH.
AND THEN THE SECOND THING I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT THERE'S REALLY A TREMENDOUS NEED FOR HOUSING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, BUT PARTICULARLY WITHIN OHIO AND PARTICULARLY
[00:35:03]
FOR SENIORS. AND WE SEE THIS PROJECT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALLOW LOCAL RESIDENTS TO TO CONTINUE TO AGE IN PLACE BEYOND THE RESIDENTS THAT THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO SERVE.IT'S GOING TO BE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN IN THE LOCAL ECONOMY. IT'S GOING TO BE A ROUGHLY $30 MILLION DEAL.
KATHLEEN TOUCHED ON THE JOBS NUMBERS, BUT OVER 100 CONSTRUCTION JOBS WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, AND 50 PERMANENT JOBS IN A VARIETY OF INDUSTRIES.
SO WE SEE THIS NOT ONLY AS A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS, BUT ALSO IN IN THE LONG TERM ECONOMY OF FAIRBORN.
SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY, ANY QUESTIONS.
AND SHOULD TECHNICAL OR DESIGN RELATED QUESTIONS COME UP, I'D LOVE TO HAVE MARK AND CONNOR COME UP AND GIVE SOME DETAILS AS WELL.
WE'LL SEE IF WE HAVE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS. THANK YOU. OKAY.
ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS RESOLUTION? PLEASE COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME.
OKAY. SEEING NO ONE ELSE COME FORWARD, WE WILL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENTS AND COME BACK TO COUNCIL FOR QUESTIONS.
AND WE'LL START WITH COUNCILMAN. I'VE GOT NO QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU. KATHLEEN. WE'VE TALKED AT GREAT LENGTH ABOUT THE NEED FOR HOUSING SPECIFICALLY FOR SENIOR HOUSING IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND I'M SUPER EXCITED TO SEE THIS.
I FEEL THE SAME WAY. I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.
HOW AFFORDABLE IS IT FOR OUR SENIORS TO BE ABLE TO.
WELL, HOW EASY WOULD IT BE FOR THEM TO GET INTO ONE OF THESE UNITS? I'LL PROBABLY ACTUALLY HAVE THE APPLICANT COME UP AND ANSWER THAT QUESTION JUST BECAUSE THEY DEAL WITH THEIR RESIDENTS ON A DAILY BASIS.
BUT THERE IS AN APPLICATION, AND IF THEY CAN AFFORD TO PAY THE THE FEES THAT IT COSTS TO TO LIVE IN THIS FACILITY, THEY CAN DO THAT ON THEIR OWN OR, I BELIEVE, PROBABLY THROUGH MEDICARE.
I THINK IT IS, BUT I'LL ACTUALLY HAVE.
YEAH. THANK YOU. SO THE STATE IS ACTUALLY MADE A TREMENDOUS EFFORT TO SUPPORT SIMILAR PRODUCTS TO THIS ONE THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
THIS FACILITY WILL ACTUALLY BE OPEN TO BOTH THOSE WHO QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID AND THOSE WHO WHO HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO, TO PAY OUT OF POCKET AND AREN'T MEDICAID QUALIFIED. SO SOME RESIDENTS THOSE THAT QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID CAN CAN COME INTO THIS FACILITY AND MEDICAID WILL REIMBURSE THE THE ENTIRE COST.
AND THEN WE'LL ALSO ACCEPT RESIDENTS THAT DO HAVE DO HAVE ASSETS.
SO WE WE REALLY MARKET OURSELVES TO, TO THOSE VARYING, VARYING LEVELS OF INCOME.
OKAY. AND SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.
FOR THOSE WHO ARE APPLYING FOR A JOB THERE, WHAT DOES THE SALARY RANGE, WHAT IS THE SALARY RANGE FROM WHAT TO WHAT.
MAYBE THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
I DON'T REALLY HAVE THAT DATA OFFHAND. THERE'S GOING TO BE ROUGHLY 50 JOBS ACROSS A VARIETY OF ROLES. SO GENERAL PROPERTY MANAGERS, MAINTENANCE MEN, NURSING STAFF.
SO THE INCOME RANGE IS REALLY GOING TO VARY DEPENDING ON, ON THE ROLE THAT, THAT THAT PARTICULAR PERSON WILL SERVE AT THE PROPERTY.
OKAY. THANK YOU. YEP. THAT'S IT.
THANK YOU BRIAN. TWO QUESTIONS KATHLEEN.
ONE IS YOU TALKED ABOUT IT KIND OF BEING IN A FISHBOWL.
HOW IS THIS GOING TO AFFECT THE STORMWATER? SO PARTICULARLY IF WE'RE LOOKING AT IT GOING TOWARD THE WEST WHERE THERE'S OTHER RESIDENTIAL HOUSING. SO THEY WILL THEY ARE REQUIRED TO LOOK AT THIS SITE PLAN.
THEY WILL HAVE TO MEET OUR STANDARDS FOR STORMWATER.
THEY WILL HAVE TO SUBMIT THEIR ENGINEERING NUMBERS AND THEIR DESIGN REGARDING THE STORMWATER SYSTEM, BUT IT WILL HAVE TO ACCOUNT TO OUR REGIONAL STANDARDS THAT WE'RE OBLIGATED THAT THEY WILL BE OBLIGATED TO MEET SO THAT THE STORMWATER DOES NOT RUN OFF OF THIS SITE ANY FASTER THAN WHAT IT DOES TODAY.
OKAY. THE SECOND QUESTION YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER, IS THIS GOING TO BE AN OPEN FACILITY SO RESIDENTS AND GUESTS AND VISITORS CAN COME AND GO. IS IT GOING TO BE SORT OF LOCKED DOWN? WHAT KIND OF SECURITY.
RIGHT. SO WE DID DISCUSS THAT SOMEWHAT.
AND I'LL PROBABLY I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION BETTER, BUT WE DID TALK ABOUT SECURITY AND JUST SECURE THE SITE.
IT IS, I'D SAY SEMI-OPEN FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN AND VISIT.
I MEAN, DAILY WITH WITH THOSE RESIDENTS.
BUT THERE IS SOME LEVEL OF SECURITY.
YEAH. SO NORMAL OPERATING HOURS KIND OF APPLY HERE AS WELL.
VISITORS CAN COME FROM 9 TO 5 AND THEN FAMILY IS WELCOME.
REALLY WHENEVER. IN TERMS OF, OF SECURITY THERE'S A PERSON ON, ON ON THE FRONT DESK 24 OVER SEVEN.
AND I BELIEVE THE PROJECT CURRENTLY CALLS FOR CAMERAS, THOUGH I'M NOT CERTAIN ABOUT THAT. BUT WE PARTNER WITH A WITH WE DON'T ACTUALLY MANAGE THIS OURSELVES. WE USE A THIRD PARTY MANAGER, GARDEN MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS, AS THEIR NAME.
THEY'RE TREMENDOUSLY EXPERIENCED IN IN THESE FACILITIES IN TERMS OF LOCKDOWN FOR THE
[00:40:04]
RESIDENTS. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE TRYING, TRYING TO GET AT, BUT RESIDENTS CAN COME AND GO AS THEY PLEASE.ALL 120 UNITS ARE, ARE INDEPENDENT MEANING THAT THEY DON'T SHARE ROOMS WITH, WITH OTHERS UNLESS THEY HAVE A SPOUSE THAT WE'RE DUAL OCCUPANCY WOULD, WOULD BE OPEN TO THEM FOR.
BUT RESIDENTS CAN CAN COME AND GO AS THEY PLEASE AND GENERALLY FAMILY CAN AS WELL.
I GUESS MY GENERAL CONCERN WAS THIS IS A PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE POPULATION YOU KNOW, PHYSICAL THREATS, SCAMMERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO TRYING TO SEE IF THERE'S SOME SORT OF A PROTECTIONS BUILT IN THERE.
YEAH, I THINK THAT HELPS SCREEN AGAINST THAT, THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE ARE NOT ONLY INCLUDE MEALS, BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THERE'S FOLKS ON THE TEAM THAT THAT HELP SENIORS WITH DAY TO DAY LIFE AND TASKS THAT THEY NORMALLY CAN'T OR THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE ON THEIR OWN.
SO CERTAINLY THERE'S KIND OF SOCIAL SERVICES OFFERED TO THE RESIDENTS AS WELL.
THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
IT SEEMS LIKE A REALLY WONDERFUL THING.
SO THANKS. OKAY. I HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS.
YOU MENTIONED EARLIER, IT'S 120 UNITS, 70 PARKING SPACES, PRIMARILY FOR STAFF AND VISITORS.
SO THAT TELLS ME THAT MOST OF THE RESIDENTS WILL NOT HAVE THEIR OWN VEHICLES.
CORRECT. SO I'M ASSUMING THEY'RE GOING TO RELY ON SOME FORM OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
IF THEY HAVE TO GET TO A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT, THEY WANT TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING. NOW, THE LOCATION IS GREAT BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE KROGER AND THE MENARDS, BOTH WHO SELL FOOD ITEMS. SO ONE QUESTION IS, DO WE HAVE A GOOD SIDEWALK WITH BUTTONS AT THAT INTERSECTION? IF THEY WANT TO WALK TO THE KROGER OR WALK TO THE MENARDS TO CROSS DAYTON, YELLOW SPRINGS? RIGHT.
I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ACCESS AT THAT INTERSECTION.
THE SIDEWALK DOES EXTEND TO TOWARDS TACO BELL AND TOWARDS THE NORTH SIDE OF THAT INTERSECTION. SO ACCESS SHOULD SHOULD BE OKAY.
RIGHT. MY NEXT QUESTION IN LINE WITH THAT GREEN CATS IS OUR PRIMARY SOURCE OF PEOPLE GETTING TO OTHER THINGS IN TOWN.
HAVE WE CHECKED WITH GREEN CATS TO SEE IF THEIR BLUE LINE WHICH SERVES FAIRBORN COULD BE. THIS COULD BE ADDED AS A STOP IF IT BECOMES A NEED.
I THINK THAT IT DEFINITELY CAN BE ADDED AS A STOP.
AND WE HAVE A GOOD, I THINK, CONNECTION WITH THEM AS FAR AS IF WE FIND OUT THAT THAT IS A CONCERN, THAT THAT THAT IS A LOCATION WHERE THEY NEED TO HAVE A STOP BE. THEN WE WILL DEFINITELY LET THEM KNOW.
OKAY. LET'S TALK WITH GREEN CATS.
YES. NURSING CARE. YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE IS SOME NURSING CARE.
IS THIS GOING TO BE LIKE SOME.
THIS IS. WELL, IT'S JUST IT'S MINIMAL NURSING CARE.
SO THEY HAVE ONE FULL TIME NURSE.
THERE ARE 3 OR 4 LICENSED LPNS SEVERAL CNAS, BUT MOST ARE SUPPORTIVE CARE ASSISTANCE, I THINK IS WHAT THEY'RE CALLED JUST TO REALLY PROVIDE THAT SUPPORTIVE CARE TO THOSE RESIDENTS AND SOMEBODY WHO MIGHT NEED REAL FULL TIME OR MORE EXTENSIVE NURSING CARE WOULD HAVE TO GO TO ANOTHER FACILITY.
CORRECT. YES. THIS IS REALLY INDEPENDENT LIVING WITH THOSE KIND OF SUPPORTIVE SERVICES. OKAY. YOU ANSWERED MY AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
LAST QUESTION. THIS IS A FOUR STORY FACILITY.
AND THIS IS MORE OF A RHETORICAL QUESTION.
MY BACKGROUND IS WORKING IN DISASTER PREPAREDNESS.
I'M SURE YOU'VE GOT PLANS FOR EVACUATING PEOPLE OUT OF FOUR STOREYS.
SHOULD THERE BE A NEED TO EVACUATE? ARE THERE IN A FACILITY LIKE THIS? ARE THERE TORNADO SHELTERS? I CAN ASK THE APPLICANT THAT.
CONNOR TAMAKI, 149 FOREST PLACE.
BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS. ALL RIGHT.
THANKS FOR THE QUESTION. YES. SO WE ARE DESIGNING THIS BUILDING AS A TYPE THREE, A CONSTRUCTION. IT'S FOUR STOREYS.
LIKE YOU SAID, THERE MAY BE THE EVENT OF A DISASTER.
LIKE A TORNADO. DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION TYPE AND THE OCCUPANCY OF THE BUILDING, WE'RE REQUIRED TO DEVELOP REFUGE AREAS THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING.
THEY'RE NOT SPECIFICALLY TORNADO SHELTERS, BUT THERE ARE AREAS OF THE BUILDING IN CORRIDORS WITH LIMITED WINDOWS WHERE YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT ROOM FOR PEOPLE TO STAY IF THERE'S AN EMERGENCY LIKE THAT.
ADDITIONALLY, THE FLOOR PLAN, SINCE IT IS RELATIVELY LARGE, NOT ONLY ARE THERE TWO MAIN EGRESS STAIRS, BUT EACH FLOOR IS DIVIDED INTO ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO 4 COMPARTMENTS SO THAT IF THERE IS A FIRE OR SOMETHING, IT'S QUICK AND EASY TO GET FROM ONE COMPARTMENT TO THE OTHER, WHERE IF SOMEONE NEEDS HELP TO GET OUT FURTHER,
[00:45:01]
THEY CAN WAIT THERE SAFELY.TYPICALLY IT'S A ONE HOUR SEPARATION BETWEEN THESE AREAS.
ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A NFPA 13 SPRINKLER SYSTEM, SO INTERSTITIAL SPACES AS WELL AS YOUR ACTUAL FLOORS ARE ALL SPRINKLERED.
SO IF THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, HOW MANY ELEVATOR BANKS? THERE IS TWO ELEVATOR BANKS.
LET ME SEE. SO WE HAVE TWO ELEVATOR BANKS.
THERE IS A 3500 AND A 4500 ELEVATOR.
3500 IS OVER HERE. WHAT WE DID IS WE DIVIDED IT THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING TO BASICALLY REDUCE TRIP DISTANCE FOR RESIDENTS, BECAUSE BASICALLY, WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE AREAS WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE TO WALK AS FAR. THERE MAY BE A SEATING AREA AT AN ELEVATOR BANK TO JUST TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER FOR THEM.
ADDITIONALLY, BOTH ELEVATORS ARE CAN PROVIDE ENOUGH ROOM FOR A GURNEY IF REQUIRED OR IF AN AMBULANCE HAS TO COME IN.
SO THAT'S BASICALLY THE STORY OF THE ELEVATORS.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. YOU ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE A MOTION NOW TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 42, DASH 25. MOVED. SECOND.
YES. YES. YES. MR.. MCCUBBINS.
YES. STANTON. YES. MR. KIRKPATRICK. YES. RESOLUTION 42 DASH 25 IS DULY ADOPTED.
IS THERE A MOTION TO READ RESOLUTION 43 DASH 25 BY TITLE.
SO MOVED. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED. RESOLUTION 43 DASH 25.
PUBLIC HEARING AUTHORIZING THE APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT MODIFICATION PLAN AND FINAL PLAT SPLITTING ON EXISTING CITY LOT LOCATED AT 220 EAST DAYTON YELLOW SPRINGS ROAD. CITY LOT 9810 INTO TWO SEPARATE PARCELS.
KATHLEEN RIGGS, CITY PLANNER PRESENTING.
SO THIS IS A PROPOSED LOT SPLIT REALLY FOR DEVELOPMENT.
AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THIS SITE PLAN, MAYBE WE HAVE LOT ONE AND SURROUND IT HIGHLIGHTED IN RED AND OUTLINED IN RED.
AND THEN LOT TWO IS JUST REALLY THE REMAINING.
THE OWNER OF THIS SITE IS COBBLESTONE CAPITAL AND ZACH WILLIAMS. SO HERE WE HAVE THE AERIAL MAP AND THE ZONING MAP.
THIS ENTIRE SITE A LITTLE ALMOST FIVE ACRES IS OUTLINED IN YELLOW, AND THEN IT IS SOUTH OF DAYTON, YELLOW SPRINGS ROAD, EAST OF BEAVER VALLEY, WEST OF CHAPEL.
AND THEN THE ZONING IS PLANNED.
UNIT DEVELOPMENT. ONCE AGAIN OUTLINED IN YELLOW SURROUNDED BY OTHER PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. RESIDENTIAL.
THIS IS AT THE FIVE POINTS INTERSECTION. SO WE ALSO HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL AS THE ZONING AS WELL. SO WHAT IS THIS? SO LIKE I SAID, THIS IS A LOT SPLIT.
THIS LOT WILL BE 0.82 ACRES, AND THEN THE REMAINING WILL BE 4.1.
LIKE I SAID, THIS IS REALLY CREATING A NEW LOT FOR DEVELOPMENT.
IT JUST HAS TO GO THROUGH THIS PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT PROCESS.
THE WE DID HAVE I DID RECEIVE COMMENTS JUST MAKING SURE THAT THE OWNER THAT THIS NEW LOT IS CREATED STILL PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE ADJACENT LOTS RIGHT NOW.
THOSE THE CVS AND THE DONATOS BOTH ACCESS THIS SITE.
AND SO JUST MAKING SURE THAT THOSE ACCESS AGREEMENTS REMAIN IN PLACE FOR THIS FUTURE LOT THAT'S CREATED. AND IF THERE'S ACTUALLY NO FORMAL ACCESS AGREEMENT THAT'S IN PLACE, THAT SOMETHING IS RECORDED WITH GREENE COUNTY.
AND SO WE DO WANT TO SUPPORT THAT AS WELL, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT CURRENTLY EXISTS THERE WILL THEN CONTINUE TO THRIVE.
SO WE DID LOOK AT THE PRELIMINARY PLAN.
LOOK AT THE SET OF CRITERIA AND LOOKED AT THE APPLICABLE STANDARDS TO THIS SITE.
THIS NEW LOT THAT'S CREATED IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING CODE AND WITH OUR SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS REGARDING LOT CREATION.
LIKE I SAID, JUST MAKING SURE THAT THOSE ACCESS AGREEMENTS, THOSE ARE THE COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED.
PLANNING BOARD DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS RESOLUTION.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. BEFORE WE COME TO COUNCIL, QUESTIONS.
THE RESOLUTION 43 DASH 25 ALSO REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING.
[00:50:01]
ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK TO RESOLUTION 4325, PLEASE COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME.OKAY. SEEING NO ONE COME FORWARD, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON RESOLUTION 43 DASH 25 AND COME BACK TO COUNCIL FOR QUESTIONS, STARTING WITH COUNCILWOMAN. CHESS.
AS ALWAYS, KATHLEEN, YOU DO A WONDERFUL JOB.
I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
NO QUESTIONS. THANKS. I HAVE NO QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU KEVIN, MY QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED.
THANK YOU. GREAT. MY ONLY QUESTION IS THIS.
THE LARGER LOT IS THE OLD PARKING LOT BASICALLY, RIGHT? YES. THE PARKING LOT OF THE OLD PART.
IT'S ALL PART OF THE OLD PARKING LOT.
AND THAT'S THE STORAGE UNIT, CORRECT? SO THAT LARGE AREA IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPED FOR OTHER THAN PARKING EVENTUALLY.
HOPEFULLY. YES. YES. THAT'S THE PLAN.
OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD. IT'LL BE GOOD TO SEE SOMETHING ELSE IN THAT LOT.
YES. OTHER THAN WEEDS GROWING UP IN THE.
LET'S SEE. IS THERE A MOTION NOW TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 4325? SO MOVED. SECOND. JULIE, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
YES. RESOLUTION 43 DASH 25 IS DULY ADOPTED.
NEXT. IS THERE A MOTION TO READ RESOLUTION 44 DASH 25 BY TITLE ONLY.
SO MOVED. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
AYE. OPPOSED. RESOLUTION 40 4-25.
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN ANNEXATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF FAIRBORN AND BATH TOWNSHIP, APPROVING THE ANNEXATION PLAT AND LEGAL DESCRIPTION FOR 1.143 ACRES.
CITY SOLICITOR IS PRESENTING ALONG WITH ASSISTANCE.
JULIE. OKAY, LET'S GO THROUGH SOME PROJECT BACKGROUND.
AS AS YOU MAY RECALL, WHEN WE APPROVED THE WAWA REZONING AS A CONDITION OF THE APPROVAL, WE REQUIRED THAT ALL OF THE PROPERTY BE WITHIN THE CITY OF FAIRBORN LIMITS PROPER.
AND SO HENCE, THAT'S WHY THIS ANNEXATION AGREEMENT IS HERE.
OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT THEN, LET'S SEE.
THE ANNEXATION IS DONE UNDER HIGH REVISED CODE 709.192.
AND IT'S A TYPE OF EXPEDITED FORM.
THERE'S THREE TYPES OF EXPEDITED ANNEXATIONS.
THIS IS A TYPE ONE. AND THE ONLY REASON THAT'S IMPORTANT IS THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HAVE NO SAY IN TERMS OF WHETHER THE ANNEXATION IS GRANTED.
ALL OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE TO SIGN THE ANNEXATION PETITION.
AND SO IT'S REALLY MORE OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
NEXT, PLEASE. OKAY. THE FORMER OWNERS, BECAUSE WAWA NOW OWNS IT AS DAVID KEGLEY AND KIMBERLY SUE COLE, THERE'S NO SENSE IN A TYPE ONE ANNEXATION.
THERE'S NO ADJUSTMENT OF THE BOUNDARIES OF THE TOWNSHIP BOUNDARIES TO CONFORM WITH CITY BOUNDARIES, AND SO WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANY REPARATIONS.
AND FOR THAT MATTER, IT'S THERE'S THE PROPERTY HAS NO VALUE BECAUSE IT'S ALL RIGHT OF WAY TO BEGIN WITH. SO THERE'S REALLY NO VALUE THERE.
OKAY I JUST COVERED IT'S A TYPE ONE ANNEXATION IN TERMS OF CONSENT.
BATH TOWNSHIP AGREES NOT TO OPPOSE.
NOW THIS AGREEMENT IS NOT IN AND OF ITSELF OBLIGATING THE CITY TO REQUIRE SERVICES.
THAT WILL HAPPEN AT A AT A FUTURE ORDINANCE, BUT IT'S REFERENCED AT FAIRBORN IS GOING TO PROVIDE THE ORDINANCES THAT ARE LISTED ZONING, UTILITIES, POLICE, FIRE AND EMS. AS I DISCUSSED, THERE'S NO TAX PAYMENTS SINCE THERE'S NO VALUATION.
AND AS I ALSO DISCUSSED, IT REMAINS WITHIN BATH TOWNSHIP BOUNDARIES.
OKAY. THE SURVEY AND PLAT IS PREPARED BY DAVID COX FROM THE GROUP, AND THE CERTIFICATES AND ANNEXATION OF PLAT COMPRISES 1.143 ACRES.
RESOLUTION 4425 AUTHORIZED CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT, WHICH APPROVES THE ANNEXATION PLAT AND LEGAL DESCRIPTION, AND IT ALLOWS THE ANNEXATION PETITION TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE GREENE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
FOLLOW THAT SAID, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF 44 DASH 25 INSURERS.
COOPERATIVE ANNEXATION PROCESS EXTENDS MUNICIPAL SERVICES AND SUPPORTS GROWTH AND JURISDICTIONAL CLARITY.
[00:55:03]
HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS.THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
AND WE'LL START COUNCIL QUESTIONS WITH COUNCILMAN FRITZSCHE. I'VE GOT NO QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU. I HAVE NONE, THANK YOU.
I HAVE NONE. I THINK IT'S GOING TO HELP US GET THE BALL ROLLING.
THANK YOU. NO QUESTIONS FOR ME.
MIKE. THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER THANKS.
AND I HAVE NO QUESTIONS EITHER.
THANKS. IT'S GOOD TO SEE THIS HAPPENING. SO, AS WAS JUST SAID, WE CAN GET THE BALL ROLLING HERE.
YEP. OKAY. THANK YOU. IS THERE A MOTION NOW TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 4425.
SO MOVED. SECOND. OKAY, JULIE, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
MISS CHESS. YES. MR.. MCCUBBINS.
YES. RESOLUTION 44 DASH 25 IS DULY ADOPTED.
OKAY. THIS CONCLUDES OUR RESOLUTIONS.
WE WILL NOW OPEN CITIZENS COMMENTS.
ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
PROVIDE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND PLEASE LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO FIVE MINUTES.
OKAY. SEEING NO ONE COME FORWARD, WE WILL CLOSE CITIZENS COMMENTS AND WE'LL
[VIII. City Manager Comments]
MOVE ON TO CITY MANAGER COMMENTS.GOOD EVENING, YOUR HONOR AND COUNCIL.
JUST A FEW THINGS THIS EVENING.
IT'S GOING TO BE A BUSY WEEKEND. I'M SURE THE MAYOR WILL COVER THAT.
BUT FAIRBORN. WHICH SOME PEOPLE WILL LAUGH AND TELL YOU THAT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE I HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.
AND HOW IRONIC IT IS. A MAN WITH NO HAIR LOVES HAIR METAL FROM THE 80S.
THAT WILL BE THIS FRIDAY NIGHT WITH AN OZZY OSBOURNE TRIBUTE BAND AS THE HEADLINER.
WE DO THIS WITH OUR PARTNERS AT IHEARTRADIO 104.7, SO WE'RE THRILLED ABOUT THAT. ON THE 29TH MONDAY THE 29TH AT 5 P.M.
AT THE FAIRBORN SENIOR CENTER WILL BE AT TOWN HALL.
THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION WILL BE THE POLICE AND FIRE LEVY RENEWAL REQUESTS.
AND SO STAFF WILL BE THERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT RESIDENTS MAY HAVE, ALONG WITH MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.
AND THEN IN THIS ROOM NEXT MONDAY, THE 22ND AT 9 A.M., THERE WILL BE A POLICE SWEARING IN CEREMONY FOR OUR NEW POLICE CAPTAIN AND OUR TWO NEW SERGEANTS. CAPTAIN MAGUIRE WILL BE SWORN IN AS, ALONG WITH SERGEANTS TOLBERT AND WALTON AT 9 A.M.
IN THIS ROOM ON MONDAY THE 22ND.
IF YOU CAN ALL ATTEND THAT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE THIS EVENING FOR YOU.
THANK YOU. OKAY. WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO COUNCIL COMMENTS AND WE'LL START WITH
[ IX. Council Comments]
COUNCILWOMAN CHESS. OKAY.SO WE DON'T HAVE NO MILESTONE RECIPIENTS, AND WE'RE BEING SAFE, AND OUR SKYHAWKS ARE DOING REALLY WELL.
SO I REALLY DON'T HAVE THAT MANY COMMENTS TODAY.
I'LL LET THE MAYOR DO THE REST OF THEM, BECAUSE I'M SURE HE'LL HAVE A LOT.
AND I'LL PASS IT ON TO MY NEXT COLLEAGUE.
THANK YOU. BE SAFE. THANK YOU.
SYLVIA. ON A ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE, SEPTEMBER IS SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH, AND THIS IS A LARGELY UNSEEN.
ISSUE FOR SOCIETY. SO IF YOU SEE SOMEONE STRUGGLING OR KNOW THAT THEY NEED HELP, PLEASE ENCOURAGE THEM TO DIAL 988.
THEY'VE TAKEN THE GUESSWORK OUT OF THIS AND MADE IT VERY SIMPLE.
PLEASE ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO ASK FOR HELP IF THEY NEED IT.
RIGHT. ALONG THE LINES THAT'LL MAKE THE MAYOR HAPPY IS SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH IS NATIONAL CLEANUP DAY.
SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL OF OUR CITIZENS IN IN YOUR IMMEDIATE AREA THAT YOU LIVE IN, HELP CLEAN IT UP. AND SEPTEMBER 22ND, UNFORTUNATELY.
AND SUMMER, IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN.
I KNOW IT'S A VERY SAD DAY FOR MANY OF US, BUT IF YOU IF YOU LIVE IN OHIO LONG ENOUGH, YOU'RE USED TO IT. ALSO THIS YEAR FOR THE AIR FORCE.
AIR FORCE MARATHON IS THIS WEEKEND, BUT IT'S ALSO THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE'S BIRTH, WHICH WAS IN SEPTEMBER OF 1947.
SO THERE WOULD BE 78 YEARS OLD THIS YEAR.
SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR AIR FORCE.
AND I'LL END ON A LIGHTER NOTE AND SAY THAT I WOULD BET GOOD MONEY.
MIKE HAS PLENTY OF WIGS IN HIS CLOSET, AND WE MIGHT SEE ONE FOR FAIRBORN.
THANK YOU MARY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. OH MY GOSH, THE GANTLET HAS BEEN THROWN DOWN.
I'M GONNA BE OUT OF TOWN THAT WEEKEND. AND YEAH, I'M VERY SAD. OKAY. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY TONIGHT, SO I GUESS EVERYBODY HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND A GREAT WEEKEND.
LOOKING FORWARD TO FAIRBORN THIS WEEKEND.
[01:00:01]
ON FRIDAY, I ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO GO.IT'S A FAIRBORN IS ALWAYS A GREAT TIME.
THIS ONE SHOULD BE PRETTY GOOD.
THAT'S ALL I GOT. I HAVE NOTHING THIS WEEK.
THANK YOU. I'M LEAVING IT ALL TO ME TO MAKE COMMENTS.
OKAY. LET'S START WITH FAIRBORN.
CLINT IS NOT HERE. FAIRBORN IS A LOT OF FUN.
WE HAVE THE, AS ALREADY MENTIONED, THE OZZY OSBOURNE TRIBUTE BAND.
THERE IS A NEW WIG SHOP IN FAIRBORN.
AND YOU CAN ALSO GO TO FOY'S IF YOUR HAIR DOESN'T MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.
SO YOU CAN FEEL LIKE YOU'RE PART OF THE BAND AND PART OF THE GROUP.
DOWNTOWN FAIRBORN FOR FAIRBORN.
AND THAT'S WHY IF YOU IF YOU WANT TO SHOW UP INCOGNITO, GO AHEAD AND GET A WIG.
I WANT TO REITERATE WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT THE MARATHON AND THE FLY ZONE.
THIS REALLY IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE FAIRBORN.
PEOPLE COME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TO RUN THE AIR FORCE MARATHON AND TO WATCH FRIENDS AND FAMILY RUN THE MARATHON.
IF YOU'RE NOT A MILITARY PERSON AND DON'T HAVE NORMAL BASE ACCESS, YOU DON'T GET A CHANCE TO WATCH YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS OR FRIENDS RUNNING ACROSS THE BASE WHERE MOST OF THE MARATHON TAKES PLACE.
THE FLY ZONE THAT COMES RIGHT UP MAIN STREET IN FAIRBORN IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY WATCH YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY MEMBERS RUN THE MARATHON.
ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS I THINK THAT THEY DO IS ON THE RUNNER'S BIB IS AN RFID TAG.
AND AS THEY RUN ACROSS A SENSOR IN THE ROAD ABOUT 50 YARDS DOWN THE ROAD THERE IS AN ANNOUNCER WHO READS OFF THEIR NAME AND WELCOMES THEM TO FAIRBORN SUSIE SMITH FROM OSHKOSH AND JOHN DOE FROM CLEVELAND OR WHATEVER.
AND THE RUNNERS, AS THEY HEAR THEIR NAMES BEING READ, ARE JUST ASTOUNDED. LIKE, HOW DID THEY KNOW THAT WAS ME? MODERN TECHNOLOGY. SO IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO THE FLY ZONE AND YOU'RE A FAIRBORN RESIDENT, COME DOWN AND WATCH IT.
CHEER THE RUNNERS ON. IT'S A LOT OF FUN.
AGAIN, THE RUNNERS TELL US AFTER THE MARATHON.
MANY OF THEM TELL US THAT THEIR FAVORITE PART OF RUNNING 26 MILES, WHICH I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING, BUT THEIR FAVORITE PART IS RUNNING THROUGH DOWNTOWN FAIRBORN BECAUSE OF ALL THE CHEERING AND THE ENTHUSIASM.
THE VERY NEXT MORNING SUNDAY MORNING IS THE CAR SHOW.
WE'RE EXPECTING UPWARDS OF AROUND 300 CARS THIS YEAR.
WE'VE ALREADY GOT GOOD REGISTRATION GOING.
IT'S A LOT OF FUN. YOU GET A CHANCE TO SEE SOUPED UP CARS, ANTIQUE CARS. LAST YEAR I SAW THERE WAS A CAR THERE THAT WAS REMINDED ME OF MY VERY FIRST CAR. SO IT'S A LOT OF FUN TO GO TO THE CAR SHOW AND SEE CARS THAT MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN FOR YEARS. THAT AFTERNOON ON SUNDAY IS THE HONOR FLIGHT GOING OUT OF THE 445TH? WE'RE EXPECTING 3 TO 4000 PEOPLE FOR THE CONCERT.
RICKI LAKE IS ONE OF THE BANDS.
AND THE HIGHLIGHT AND THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE THE MAIN PERSON AT THE CONCERT IS LEE GREENWOOD. SO THAT SHOULD BE A WONDERFUL EVENT.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT'S A GREAT WAY TO WELCOME BACK OUR VETERANS WHO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTAKE IN THE HONOR FLIGHT PROGRAM.
AND IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR FROM THAT, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK THAT UP. HONOR FIVE IS A WONDERFUL PROGRAM.
IT STARTED IN AENON, RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO FAIRBORN AND IS NOW SPREAD THERE.
HONOR FLIGHT CHAPTERS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES AND HONOR FLIGHTS GO ON ALMOST EVERY WEEKEND THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WHERE THEY GET THE VETERANS GET A CHANCE TO GO TO WASHINGTON, D.C. AND SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT VETERAN MEMORIALS.
SO IT'S A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT.
I DO WANT TO SAY THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF EXCITEMENT THIS LAST WEEK.
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND AN EVENT AT WATERFORD LANDING, AND WE HAD TWO OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES HERE THIS EVENING.
THEY DID SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IN A LOT MORE NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT FAIRBORN. A COUPLE OF THEM GOT TOGETHER AND SAID, HOW CAN WE GET OUR NEIGHBORS TOGETHER? SO THEY HAD A BIG NEIGHBORHOOD PARTY.
THEY HAD BOUNCY HOUSES FOR THE KIDS.
ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS WAS THEY INVITED FAIRBORN FIRETRUCK TO COME DOWN.
THEIR FIRE TRUCK PULLED UP, AND THE KIDS JUST HAD A BALL.
KIDS ALL GOT LITTLE FIRE HATS.
THEY GOT TO LOOK AT THE FIRE TRUCK.
SO KUDOS TO THE WATERFORD LANDING FOLKS THAT WERE THERE.
AND AGAIN, A COUPLE OF THEM THAT ORGANIZE THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT.
WE'D LOVE TO SEE MORE OF THAT THROUGHOUT FAIRBORN NEIGHBORHOODS.
GETTING YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TOGETHER GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND JUST SHARING WHO'S WHO
[01:05:04]
AND WHAT YOU DO. BUT KUDOS TO WATERFORD LANDING FOR PULLING THAT TOGETHER.I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY ALSO TO ATTEND THE AIR FORCE BALL THAT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER FOR THE AIR FORCE ANNIVERSARY.
WHAT A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE HERE.
WHETHER IT'S FAIRBORN, BEAVERCREEK, RIVERSIDE THROUGHOUT THE DAYTON AREA. IT WAS A WONDERFULLY ATTENDED EVENT.
THEY RECOGNIZED SOME OUTSTANDING PEOPLE WHO HAD ACHIEVED THINGS WITH THE AIR FORCE, BUT IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THAT COUNCIL THAT THE AIR FORCE IS ALIVE AND STRONG IN THIS COMMUNITY, AND THE AIR FORCE BALL IS A GREAT WAY TO CELEBRATE THAT EVERY YEAR THEY RECOGNIZE ONE OF THE AIRCRAFT OVER THE YEARS, AND THIS YEAR THEY RECOGNIZED THE B-52.
AND WE USED TO HAVE B-52S HERE AT WRIGHT-PATT AIR FORCE BASE.
SO IT WAS WONDERFUL TO SEE A LOT OF TRIBUTES TO THAT AIRCRAFT THAT WAS PRESENTED AT THE AIR FORCE BALL. SO AGAIN THANK EVERYBODY WHO PARTICIPATED IN THAT.
AND AGAIN, THANKS FOR MENTIONING THE TOWN HALL.
THAT'S A BIG DEAL. YOU'RE GOING TO START SEEING SIGNS, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ALREADY, SIGNS TO SUPPORT THE POLICE AND FIRE SAFETY LEVY THAT WILL BE ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER.
THIS IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
WE SEE ACROSS THE COUNTRY SOME OF THE SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUES THE VERY TRAGIC SITUATION WITH CHARLIE KIRK LAST WEEK.
WE NEED TO BE MORE AWARE OF SAFETY AND SECURITY THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITIES.
WE ALWAYS HAVE A POLICEMAN HERE TONIGHT.
THANK YOU, SIR, FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING.
BUT IT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE SUPPORT OUR POLICE AND FIRE.
I WAS ALWAYS TAUGHT, AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE NUMBER ONE JOB OF GOVERNMENT IS TO PROVIDE FOR THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF ITS CITIZENS.
WELL, THIS IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THAT LEVY THAT'S COMING UP IN NOVEMBER. SO, AGAIN, SEE SIGNS FOR THAT ALL OVER THE PLACE.
PLEASE CONSIDER HOW YOU MIGHT WANT TO VOTE FOR THAT.
OKAY. AT THIS POINT, IF THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL BUSINESS, IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? SO MOVED. SECOND. OKAY.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
REASTER. YES YES YES YES, YES.
MR. KIRKPATRICK. YES. THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING FOR TONIGHT IS ADJOURNED.
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING.
