ORDINANCE 23-26. AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO TRANSFER SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY, KNOWN AS THE FORMER FORMER LEGION SITE AND ADJACENT PARCELS FROM THE CITY OF FAIRBORN TO THE FAIRBORN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO ENCOURAGE ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION IN FAIRBORN. JALEN WHITE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST, PRESENTING. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, GOOD EVENING. HOPEFULLY TONIGHT WE'LL BE DISCUSSING THE TRANSFER OF SURPLUS PROPERTIES TO THE FAIRBORN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FOR POTENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT. SO FOR SOME BACKGROUND, THE FDC IS A COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION, OR CIC, THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1969 TO HELP SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT THROUGHOUT FAIRBORN. ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A CIC IS THAT A CITY CAN TRANSFER THESE PROPERTIES TO THE FDC FOR REDEVELOPMENT. THE FDC HAS MORE FLEXIBILITY ON HOW IT ACQUIRES, MANAGES AND REDEVELOPS THAT PROPERTY. THE PURPOSE OF TRANSFERRING THIS PROPERTY TO THE FTD IS TO POSITION THEM TO, FOR MIXED USE REDEVELOPMENT. THE FDC CAN WORK ON IDENTIFYING GRANT FUNDING AND PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY NEEDED TO KEEP THE PROJECT GOING. THE TRANSFER ALSO ELIMINATES MAINTENANCE AND HOLDING COSTS INCURRED BY THE CITY. CURRENTLY, I BELIEVE IT'S IN THE THOUSANDS. THIS IS A LIST OF THE PARCELS TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE FDC. IT'S A TOTAL OF 11 PARCELS OVER 2.13 ACRES. I'LL GIVE YOU A SECOND TO LOOK AT THEM. AND THIS IS JUST A MAP OF THE PROPERTIES TO BE TRANSFERRED, HIGHLIGHTED IN LIGHT BLUE. THE PARCELS HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW AND GREEN ARE OWNED BY THIRD PARTIES, WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY BE ACQUIRED BY THE DEVELOPER IN THE FUTURE. AND THEN STAFF REQUEST THE CITY MANAGER BE AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE ALL THE DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO TRANSFER THESE PARCELS TO THE FDC. I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY. THANKS, JALEN. BEFORE WE COME TO COUNCIL FOR QUESTIONS, ORDINANCE 23-26 REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK TO ORDINANCE 23-26 PLEASE COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME. SEEING NO ONE COME FORWARD, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ORDINANCE 23-26. COME BACK TO COUNCIL FOR QUESTIONS, STARTING WITH COUNCILMAN DODD. I APPRECIATE THE THE RIGHT. OF COURSE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HEADS UP. THE. THESE PROPERTIES ARE PART OF OUR STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT ECONOMIC STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN. YES. FOR THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT. YEAH. IT'S A FORMER LEGION SITE? [00:05:03] YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. ARE THESE SITES READY TO GO FOR THE DEVELOPER, OR IS THERE ANY SITE PREP THAT STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE? I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANY SITE PREP NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THESE SITES. I THINK WHEN IT WAS A LEGION SITE, THEY DID THAT PRIOR TO. OKAY. YEAH, I'M EXCITED TO SEE THAT THAT GET DEVELOPED ON THAT END OF TOWN. FINGERS CROSSED. VERY EXCITING. THANK YOU. YEAH, I'M EXCITED AS WELL. THOSE TWO PROPERTIES THAT ARE OWNED BY SOMEONE ELSE, HAVE WE REACHED OUT TO THOSE PERSONS TO SEE IF WE. YEAH. SO THE PARCEL HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN AT THE TOP IS ACTUALLY OWNED BY A DEVELOPER THAT WE HAD CURRENT OR PREVIOUS TALKS WITH. AND THAT JUST FELL THROUGH. SO THEY'RE OPEN TO TRANSFERRING TO WHOEVER. AND I, I DON'T KNOW, AN UPDATE ON THE YELLOW ONE, BUT I KNOW THAT THEY'RE OPEN TO SELLING IT. SO I THINK IT'S FEASIBLE TO GET IT IN THE FUTURE. ABSOLUTELY. VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THIS IS THIS IS A GOOD MOVE. AND HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING COMES TO FRUITION. AND I'M SUPER EXCITED BECAUSE IT WILL PUT FEET ON MAIN STREET, WHICH IS GOING TO SPUR A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT FOR US. SO I'M SUPER EXCITED. THANKS, JALEN. THANK YOU. SO IF IT'S APPROPRIATE, IS THERE A LITTLE INFORMATION THAT YOU COULD SHARE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THAT AREA? NOT AT THIS POINT. NO NO. OKAY. NOW I DO, I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A CHANCE THAT THERE WILL BE SOME DISCUSSION AT THE WORK SESSION, THE SECOND WORK SESSION OF THE MONTH. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE NOT SCHEDULED TO HAVE A WORK SESSION, BUT IF EVERYTHING PLAYS OUT CORRECTLY WE SHOULD HAVE A 15 OR 20 MINUTE DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT POTENTIALLY COULD GO HERE. BUT AT THIS POINT WITH NEGOTIATIONS AND NON-DISCLOSURE WE WOULD PROBABLY LEAVE IT AT THAT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YEAH. THIS HAS BEEN A WORK IN PROGRESS FOR A LONG TIME. DEFINITELY. I'M GLAD TO SEE WE'RE FINALLY GETTING SOME MOVEMENT WITH THIS. AND LIKE MIKE SAID, WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT RIGHT YET, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE SOME EXCITING THINGS COULD BE HAPPENING. YES, HOPEFULLY. SO THANKS FOR ALL THE WORK THAT'S GONE INTO THIS. THANK YOU. OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION NOW TO WAIVE THE RULE REQUIRING THAT ORDINANCES BE READ ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, AN ORDINANCE 23-26 BE READ FOR THE THIRD TIME BY TITLE ONLY? SO MOVED. SECOND. OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. BEV, CAN WE HAVE A ROLL CALL, PLEASE? YES. AND BEV IS FILLING IN FOR FOR JULIE. SO WE'RE BEING VERY PATIENT WITH HER TONIGHT. YES. MISS REASTER. YES. MISS CHESS. YES. MR. DODD. YES. MR.. MCCUBBINS. YES. MISS. STANTON. YES. MR.. KIRKPATRICK. YES. ORDINANCE 23-26. AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO TRANSFER SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY, KNOWN AS THE FORMER ALLEGIANT SITE AND ADJACENT PARCELS FROM THE CITY OF FAIRBORN TO THE FAIRBORN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO ENCOURAGE ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION IN FAIRBORN.

MR.. MCCUBBINS. YES. MR.. REASTER. YES. MR.. KIRKPATRICK. YES. ORDINANCE 23-26 IS DULY ADOPTED. NEXT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO NEW BUSINESS. WE HAVE RESOLUTION 43-26. [VI. New Business] IS THERE A MOTION TO READ RESOLUTION 43-26 BY TITLE ONLY? SO MOVED. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO PREPARE AND SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE OHIO PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSION, STATE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND OR LOCAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS FOR THE COLONEL GLENN AND NORTH FAIRFIELD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, AND TO EXECUTE CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS AS REQUIRED. MANUEL JACOBS, CITY ENGINEER, PRESENTING. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. IT IS GRANT APPLICATION WEEK. SO I HAVE TWO RESOLUTIONS BEING PRESENTED FOR YOU THIS EVENING FOR TWO PROJECTS. I DID PURPOSELY KEEP THEM SHORT AND SWEET. SO IF YOU GOT ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO KIND OF THROW THEM MY WAY. BUT I'M GOING TO START WITH THE OPWC GRANT APPLICATION THAT WE HAVE FOR THIS YEAR. IT'S GOING TO BE FOR THE COLONEL GLENN AND NORTH FAIRFIELD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. THERE'S ALWAYS LIKE TO START WITH A LITTLE OVERVIEW. AND I I'M SURE NO ONE IS A STRANGER TO THIS INTERSECTION. NOT ONLY IS IT ONE OF THE BUSIEST INTERSECTIONS THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE CITY, IT IS ALSO PROBABLY THE WIDEST AND BIGGEST INTERSECTION WE HAVE HERE IN THE CITY. IT IS A CONSIDERABLE CHALLENGE FROM A TRAFFIC PERSPECTIVE. SO WE AND THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT HAVE SPENT THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS ACTUALLY UNDERGOING DESIGN, RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION AND JUST GETTING ALL THE PIECES IN PLACE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT. [00:10:04] WE ARE NOW IN A GOOD POINT WHERE WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH BUDGETING AND SCHEDULING FOR CONSTRUCTION NEXT YEAR, AND IT LINED UP WELL ENOUGH THAT WE CAN GET A GRANT APPLICATION TO TRY TO SHORE UP AND COVER SOME OF THE COSTS THAT THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO COST US. SO FOR THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT, IT IS PRIMARILY A TRAFFIC INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUE AND NOT AN ISSUE. IT IS A TRAFFIC INFRASTRUCTURE GOAL THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE HERE. THE SIGNAL INTERSECTION, THE SIGNAL INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE HERE, UNFORTUNATELY, IS IT'S ONE OF THE OLDEST ONE. IT'S ALL ON GUIDE WIRES. IT'S ALL SIGNAL HEADS, THE CABINET, JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, THE DETECTION ON IT. IT'S FOR THE SIZE AND THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC THAT WE GET. IT'S IT HAS SERVICED US WELL, BUT IT'S REACHING THE END OF ITS LIFE. SO WE ARE LOOKING, AS WE HAVE DONE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WHEN IT COMES TO OUR INTERSECTIONS TO BRING SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO IT. WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME MAST ARMS THAT ARE BETTER, MORE RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE. WE DON'T HAVE THE HANGING SIGNAL HEADS. WE'RE GOING TO REDO THE SIGNAL CABINET ON ALL THE CONTROLLER. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE RADAR DETECTION. WE'RE GOING TO COVER ALL OUR BASES AS FAR AS THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS FOR THE INTERSECTION. AND WHILE WE'RE AT IT, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE DOING A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF BASE REPAIRS. THERE'S A LOT OF PORTIONS ON THE STREET, PARTICULARLY ON THIS LEG OF THE INTERSECTION THAT HAS SOME DETERIORATING PAVEMENT. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE MAKING NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS, DOING BASE REPAIRS, DOING JOINT REPAIRS WHERE NEEDED. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO FINISH IT ALL OFF WITH DOING A RESURFACING OF THE OVERALL AREA, PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRETY OF THE INTERSECTION CLOSE TO PARAMOUNT. AND WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO GO AHEAD AND WHILE WE'RE HERE, WE'RE GOING TO RESURFACE ALL OF THE LEG OF COLONEL GLENN ALL THE WAY UP TO ALL THE YELLOW SPRINGS. SO PRETTY SIZABLE PROJECT BUT NOT TOO MUCH. AND AGAIN, JUST KIND OF RECAP OF THE WORK, JUST FULL DEPTH REPAIR AND RESURFACING THE NEW SIGNAL INFRASTRUCTURE. WE, GIVEN THE LOCATION AND GIVEN THE AREA IN GENERAL, AND GIVEN THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC FOR THE PAVEMENT WORK ON THIS PROJECT, WE ARE ANTICIPATING TO BE DOING THE MAJORITY OF IT AT NIGHT. THIS WILL BE DISCUSSED WITH THE CONTRACTOR ONCE WE BID AND ADVERTISE IT AND HOW WE SCHEDULE IT. I ANTICIPATE THIS PROJECT TO BE TAKING PLACE IN THE LATER HALF OF THE YEAR PARTLY BECAUSE WE HAVE OTHER PROJECTS GOING ON AND PARTLY BECAUSE THE GRANT FUNDING, IF AWARDED, IS GOING TO BE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR STARTING IN JULY. SO THIS PROJECT DESIGN IS ESSENTIALLY FINALIZED. THIS PROJECT IS READY TO GO, AND I AM LOOKING TO FINALIZE THE GRANT APPLICATION. IT IS DUE THIS FRIDAY, AND I AM PROJECTING THAT I'M GOING TO BE REQUESTING $700,000. THE TOTAL CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE FOR THIS PROJECT IS JUST OVER $2 MILLION, BASED ON OUR FINAL CONSTRUCTION DESIGN, AND I'M REQUESTING FOR JUST OVER A LITTLE OVER 30% OF THAT TO BE GRANT FUNDED IF AWARDED. SO RIGHT NOW, WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN OUR CIP THIS PROJECT FULLY BUDGETED UNDER THE SEA, UNDER OUR LOCAL FUNDS. SO THIS IS LOOKING TO KIND OF GIVE US AN ADDITIONAL FUNDING SOURCE TO KIND OF HELP COVER THAT. SO IF WE CAN LAND THIS, THAT'S $700,000 THAT WE CAN THEN IMPLEMENT IN ANOTHER TIME IN ANOTHER PROJECT. SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL I GOT FOR THIS ONE. RESOLUTION 43-26. I RECOMMEND APPROVAL ON IT SO I CAN FINALIZE THE APPLICATION, SUBMIT IT THIS FRIDAY, AND HOPEFULLY GET US A LITTLE BIT MORE MONEY. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. YEAH, WE'LL START COUNCIL QUESTIONS WITH COUNCILWOMAN CHESS. I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THAT THAT AREA REALLY DO NEED ATTENTION. AND I WAS IMPRESSED BECAUSE YOU SAID THAT THE PROJECT ITSELF WOULD COST A LITTLE OVER $2 MILLION. I REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO COST A LOT MORE THAN THAT. WE, WE'RE HOPEFUL, JUST GIVEN THAT WE HAVE THE DESIGN IS GETTING CLOSE TO A YEAR OLD NOW. SO THE ESTIMATES ON ALL OF THIS PROBABLY HAVE GONE UP IN PRICE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, OUR EFFORTS TO DESIGN AND PREPARE ESTIMATES FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS HAVE WORKED OUT WELL ENOUGH, WHERE EVEN OUR CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATES HAVE BEEN MET WITH REALLY GOOD COMPETITIVE BIDS. I MEAN, TAKE A LOOK AT OUR BROAD STREET PROJECT THAT WE JUST AWARDED AND STARTED THIS YEAR. WE WERE ANTICIPATING THAT PROJECT TO BE OVER $4 MILLION. THE BID CAME AT 3.4. SO I THINK FROM A CONTRACTOR PERSPECTIVE, WE'RE STILL IN A VERY GOOD POSITION CONSTRUCTION WISE, WHERE WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF AGGRESSIVE OR AGGRESSIVE BIDDING FROM CONTRACTORS THAT STILL WANT TO CONTINUE. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE PROJECTS NOT AS MUCH FROM A. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE LOOKING AT IT FROM A CERTAIN LEVEL OF PROFIT, BUT THEY'RE ALSO MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAVE THAT JOB SECURITY OF THESE PROJECTS LINED UP OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. VERY GOOD. NOW, DO WE HAVE ANY PROBLEMS UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE OVER ON THIS ONE? SO WE ALREADY HAVE THE DESIGN ALREADY KIND OF ANTICIPATED A PORTION OR WE HAVE A, I WOULD SAY ABOUT 15-20% OF THE ROADWAY THAT HAS SHOWING DISTRESSING SIGNS OF BASE FAILURE. [00:15:07] SO WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING FULL DEPTH PAVEMENT REPAIRS IN THOSE AREAS. SO WHILE THE MAJORITY OF THE RESURFACING OR THE PAVEMENT WORK WILL BE RESURFACING, WE DID ACCOUNT FOR A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF FULL DEPTH PAYMENT REPAIRS FOR THE AREAS THAT ARE FAILING MORE THAN JUST THE CRACK ON THE SURFACE. ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. YEAH. MANUEL, WITH THIS, I KNOW YOU SAID THAT THE PROJECT THE MAJORITY OF THE WORK WOULD BE DONE OVERNIGHT TO MINIMIZE IMPACT. BUT DO WE KNOW WHAT THE ESTIMATED TIME? OBVIOUSLY WEATHER DELAYS PLAY INTO IT. HOW LONG DO WE EXPECT TO THIS PROJECT TO TAKE START TO FINISH? I ANTICIPATE BEST CASE SCENARIO WITH THE CONTRACTOR THAT, YOU KNOW, FULLY COMMITS THE CREWS NECESSARY TO IT. WE COULD POTENTIALLY SEE THIS AS A FOUR MONTH PROJECT. WORST CASE SCENARIO COULD TAKE A LITTLE LONGER. ONLY THE, AGAIN, ONLY THE PAVEMENT WORK IS ANTICIPATED TO HAVE NIGHT WORK. THERE'S A LOT OF WORK IN TERMS OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE SIGNAL AND SOME OF THE OTHER ADJACENT AUXILIARY WORK TO THE PROJECT THAT CAN STILL OCCUR DURING THE DAY. SO IT'S NOT LIKE THE ENTIRE PROJECT HAS TO BE DONE AT NIGHT. BUT GIVEN THE EXTENT OF SOME OF THE REPAIRS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AND JUST THE LOCATIONS WE ARE IS JUST NOT FEASIBLE. LET ME REPHRASE THAT. IT IS FEASIBLE TO HAVE THIS ENTIRE PROJECT DONE DURING THE DAY. I JUST DON'T, I JUST DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR MY WELL-BEING TO BE HANDLING ALL THOSE PHONE CALLS FROM TRAFFIC. SO I'M TRYING TO MAKE IT EASY ON EVERYBODY. FAIR ENOUGH. THANK YOU. MANUEL. YEAH. I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. YEAH. COUNCILMAN DUNN. THANK YOU. MANUEL. COUPLE QUESTIONS. THE, IS THIS GOING TO BE INSPECTED INTERNALLY? YEAH, IT'S IT'S IT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF OUR PROJECTS. SO WE'LL HAVE ONE OF OUR INSPECTORS PARKED ON IT. YES. SO IT'S OUR INSPECTORS AND EVERYTHING. SO YOU'LL HAVE A HANDS ON CONTROL OF IT. YEAH. WE'LL WE'LL HAVE HANDS ON DEPENDING ON HOW IT LINES UP WITH THE REST OF THE PROJECT. I MYSELF BE OUT THERE. YEAH. FOR SOME OF THE NIGHT WORK. I CERTAINLY, I CERTAINLY HOLD A LOT OF CONFIDENCE AND RESPECT ON MY INSPECTORS, BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT THEM WORKING DAY AND NIGHT SO I CAN SEE MYSELF SPENDING SOME TIME OUT HERE. I CAN SEE NO, I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROJECT. THANK YOU. YEAH. NO QUESTIONS. I KNOW A LOT OF THE OTHER WORK THAT'LL GO UP LETTING THE PUBLIC KNOW HOW LONG THIS WILL HAPPEN, WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. SOME OF THAT STUFF ON THE WEBSITE, AND I GUESS WE'LL DO SOME PRESS RELEASES OR SOMETHING RELATIVE TO THAT. OH, ABSOLUTELY. WE, WE ONE OF MY GOALS HERE WITH MY PROJECT IS TO ALWAYS MAINTAIN THE PUBLIC INFORM EVERY WAY I CAN, ESPECIALLY GIVE THEM ADVANCE NOTICE OF WHEN THE PROJECTS ARE GOING TO BE HAPPENING. WE HAVE TWO MESSAGE BOARDS THAT THE, YOU KNOW, THE CITY HAS AND WE EMPLOY IN ANTICIPATION OF PROJECT CONSTRUCTION STARTING. SO WE HAVE DETOUR ROUTES THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE POTENTIAL IMPACTS. WE DO TRY TO LET THE RESIDENTS KNOW AND EVERYONE KNOW. WE DO HAVE ALSO STIPULATIONS ON THE CONTRACT THAT IF THERE ARE ANY EVENTS IN ANOTHER CENTER DURING THE CONSTRUCTION TIME, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WORK CANNOT HAPPEN AND WE HAVE TO MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THEM. SO THE ENTIRE DESIGN AND THE ENTIRE MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC AND THE PROJECT ITSELF IS ENTIRELY BUILT TO BE AS MINIMAL IN TERMS OF IMPACT TO EVERYBODY. BUT OBVIOUSLY IT IS A BIG INTERSECTION. IT IS A HEAVILY TRAFFICKED INTERSECTION AS MUCH AS WE CAN HOPE TO ADDRESS. THERE WILL BE IMPACTS HERE AND THERE. WE JUST CERTAINLY HOPE THAT BY INFORMING AND PROVIDING ALL THE INFORMATION AHEAD OF TIME TO THE PUBLIC, WE CAN AT LEAST HELP MITIGATE SOME OF THAT. BEAUTIFUL. BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE, THE THE WORK TO GO INTO PREPARING FOR THIS. YEAH. EVENING, MANUEL. THIS PARTICULAR SECTION OF THE ROADWAY, IS THAT CONCRETE OR ASPHALT? YES. IT'S BOTH. WE HAVE CONCRETE SECTIONS AND WE HAVE ASPHALT SECTIONS. SO I THINK IF I REMEMBER THE BREAKDOWN. RIGHT. SO THE MAJORITY OF THE SECTION ON NORTH FAIRFIELD ROAD IS ACTUALLY ASPHALT. AND A LOT OF THE FAILURES THAT WE ARE SEEING HERE IS FROM THE GIVEN THE GRADE AND THE VEHICLES, TRAFFIC'S ALL COMING DOWNHILL. SO WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF THE ASPHALT SURFACE SLIDING AND KIND OF SLIPPING AND DISCONNECTING FROM IT. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT, YOU KNOW, CAUSES THE BUMPINESS ON SOME OF THE REPAIRS ON COLONEL GLENN. A GOOD PORTION OF IT IS CONCRETE. SO THIS IS WHERE WE ANTICIPATING THE MAJORITY OF THE BASE REPAIRS TO BE TAKING PLACE. SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A, A LITTLE BIT OF B. AND THEN ONCE YOU ACTUALLY GET AWAY FROM THE INTERSECTION AND GET CLOSER TO OLD YELLOW SPRINGS, THAT'S ALL JUST ASPHALT PAVEMENT. SO FOR THAT, IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE RESURFACING. SO ON THIS PART WHERE WE'RE SEEING THE FAILURE, IS IT GOING TO BE REPLACED WITH ASPHALT OR CONCRETE? IT WILL BE REPLACED IN KIND. SO IF IT'S CONCRETE WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING FULL REPLACEMENT OR JOINT REPAIRS AS NEEDED. WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO REPLACE CONCRETE WITH ASPHALT AT THIS TIME. IT'S JUST THAT WOULD JUST CHANGE THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT ENTIRELY. [00:20:01] WE'RE JUST MAKING THE NECESSARY REPAIRS ON THE PAVEMENT. IN ADDITION TO THE TRAFFIC INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH IS OUR PRIMARY GOAL HERE. SECOND QUESTION. WHEN WE GET THE NEW LIGHTS UP AND YOU TIME EVERYTHING, WILL YOU BE WORKING WITH BEAVER CREEK AND. WELL, YEAH, WE'LL KIND OF KEEP GOING TO WORK WITH TIMING FOR THE REST OF THAT. WELL, MOST OF THE SO THE SIGNALS FROM COLONEL GLENN ARE ALREADY CONNECTED. WE HAVE SENT TRACKS HOSTING TO KIND OF THANK FOR THAT AND KIND OF HELP SOME OF THE LINKING AND IMPROVEMENTS ON IT. AS ALWAYS, WE DO COORDINATE WITH BEAVER CREEK WHENEVER IT'S NECESSARY. SO WHAT THIS WILL PROVIDE US WITH THE NEW HARDWARE IS JUST THE BETTER OUR INTERSECTIONS ARE AT DETECTING AND UNDERSTANDING THE TRAFFIC THAT IS THAT GOES THROUGH THEM. IT ALLOWS US TO PROGRAM BETTER THE TIMINGS THAT WE HAVE. SO WE ANTICIPATE BY HAVING A BETTER CONFIGURATION ON THE HARDWARE SIDE OF THINGS TO GIVE US A BETTER FLOW AND LEVEL OF SERVICE. THAT'S ONE OF OUR PRIMARY GOALS HERE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YEAH. OKAY. I JUST WANT TIMELINE REVIEW AGAIN. THIS IS LATE SUMMER NEXT YEAR? EARLY FALL? I AM ANTICIPATING THIS PROJECT TO BE ADVERTISED AROUND JUNE JULY. SO WE ARE GOING TO BE AWARDING IT JULY AUGUST. SO IT WILL START CONSTRUCTION NEXT YEAR. AND OUR ANTICIPATION IS THAT IT SHOULD BE COMPLETED NEXT YEAR AS WELL. AND WE'RE COORDINATING THIS WITH WRIGHT STATE AS FAR AS THEIR NUTTER CENTER. THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE. WE HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH THEM DURING THE DESIGN PERIOD OF IT. SO WE'RE ACTUALLY CLEANING UP SOME RIGHT OF WAY RIGHT NOW. SO WE ARE IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH THE SCHOOL. SO THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROJECT. ONCE WE ACTUALLY GET EVERYTHING FINALIZED AND WE GET CLOSER TO ADVERTISEMENT, THEY WILL BE INFORMED JUST AS ANY OTHER PROSPECTIVE OR ADJACENT BUSINESS. LIKE YOU SAID, THAT'S A MAJOR INTERSECTION. YES IT IS, ESPECIALLY FOR WRIGHT STATE BUSINESS. NUTTER CENTER BUSINESS. WELL, MONSTER TRUCKS COMING TO THE NUTTER. YEAH. NO WE'LL BE WE'LL BE REQUESTING ALL SPECIAL EVENTS. AND, YOU KNOW, ANY KIND OF CONSTRUCTION OR CONSIDERATION WILL BE TAKEN TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE IMPACTS, I MEAN, THIS WILL PROBABLY LINE UP CLOSE TO RIGHT AROUND THE MARATHON IN SEPTEMBER. SO CHANCES ARE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO KIND OF COOL OFF AROUND THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WEEKEND. SO THERE'S, THERE'S A LOT OF, I DON'T WANT TO SAY HOOPS WE HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH, BUT THERE'S DEFINITELY A LOT OF CONSIDERATIONS WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND. BASKETBALL SEASON WILL BE OVER SO THE HOOPS THERE WON'T BE INVOLVED [LAUGHS], BUT THE OTHER HOOPS THAT WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH. SO YEAH, THIS IS GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF COORDINATION. THERE'S NO DOUBT YOU'RE GOING TO DO A GREAT JOB WITH IT. SO THANKS FOR THE PREPARATION AND GETTING THIS READY. THIS IS, LIKE YOU SAID, ONE OF THE BUSIEST INTERSECTIONS IN TOWN. WE'VE GOT TO KEEP UP WITH THAT. WE CAN'T LET IT DETERIORATE. SO THANKS FOR. PARDON. CAN I ASK ANOTHER QUESTION? SURE. I JUST THOUGHT OF ANOTHER QUESTION. I REMEMBER A YEAR OR TWO AGO, WE HAD READ ABOUT A PROJECT THAT WAS GOING TO TAKE PLACE ON BEAVER VALLEY, NEW GERMANY TRAIN LINE ROAD WHERE WE WERE GOING TO DO SOME IMPROVEMENTS ON OUR PORTION OF NEW BEAVER VALLEY TO NEW GERMANY TRAYVON IN THAT INTERSECTION. YEAH, THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE PROGRAMED AT THE SAME TIME, IS IT? AND THE REASON I ASK THAT IS BECAUSE WHEN WE DO A LOT OF THAT CONSTRUCTION ON BEAVER VALLEY, WRIGHT STATE BECOMES OUR DETOUR. SO THAT ONE'S GOING TO BE STARTING IT. THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE. SO THEY MIGHT BE SOME MINOR OVERLAP. SO THAT WAS ANTICIPATED. THE THE CULVERT IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IN BEAVER VALLEY JUST NORTH OF NEW GERMANY TRAIL. AND THAT'S WHAT'S ANTICIPATED TO BE ADVERTISED AND SOLD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. AND IT BEING A FULL CLOSURE STRUCTURE REPLACEMENT MAJORITY OF THE TIME ON THAT ONE IS GOING TO BE SPENT ON THE LEAD TIME FOR BUILD A STRUCTURE AND THEN INSTALLING IT. BUT BECAUSE THE ROAD IS CLOSED, IT, IT'S A BIGGER IMPACT ON THE DAY TO DAY, BUT IT ALLOWS FOR AN ACCELERATED CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE SINCE YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAINTAIN TRAFFIC THROUGH IT. SO OUR HOPE IS THAT THAT PROJECT IS GOING TO BE CLOSE TO COMPLETION BY THE TIME THIS ONE REALLY GETS GOING. OKAY. THANK YOU. YEAH. YOU MENTIONED THIS IS PRIMARILY ROADWAY WORK. WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING ANY SEWAGE WATER LINES. THE WATER LINE BREAK WE HAD THERE. THE WATER AND SEWER DIVISION ALREADY ADDRESSED ALL OF THOSE. WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO SEE IF FEASIBLE. THERE'S ACTUALLY A COUPLE OF ROADWAY PATCHES ADJACENT FROM THE WORK THEY DID, MAKING THE NECESSARY REPAIRS BY THE STEAKHOUSE. THE OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE. AND SO ALL OF THAT FROM AN INFRASTRUCTURE AND WATER LINE HAS BEEN REPLACED AND FIXED AND DONE. THERE MIGHT BE SOME ADDITIONAL RESURFACING AND CLEANUP THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TACKLE. NO ANTICIPATED WATER LINE WORK. SO THIS IS STRICTLY ROADWAY. YEAH. I KNOW THAT WAS A BIG ISSUE. YEAH. WHEN THAT ONE WENT THROUGH. OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION NOW TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 43-26? SO MOVED. SECOND. HERE WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. MISS REASTER. YES. MISS CHESS. YES. MR.. ALLEN. YES. MR.. DODD. YES. MR.. MCCUBBINS. [00:25:04] YES. MISS STANTON. YES. MR. KIRKPATRICK. YES. OKAY. RESOLUTION 43-26 IS DULY ADOPTED. NOW WE'LL MOVE ON. IS THERE A MOTION TO READ RESOLUTION 44-26 BY TITLE ONLY? SO MOVED. SECOND. DID YOU GET THE SECOND? OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? RESOLUTION 44-26. A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL OF AN APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL SURFACE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM FUNDS THROUGH THE MIAMI VALLEY REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THE DAYTON YELLOW SPRINGS ROAD IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. MANUEL JACOBS, CITY ENGINEER, PRESENTING. HELLO AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND APPLICATION I HAVE FOR THE EVENING AND SHOULD ALSO BE A PRETTY QUICK ONE. JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM. THE MIAMI VALLEY REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION MVRPC HAS LISTED TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS AS THEY USUALLY DO. THESE FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS ARE MANAGED AT THE STATE LEVEL BY THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, AND THE FUNDS ARE DISTRIBUTED LOCALLY THROUGH A COMPETITIVE PROCESS BY MVRPC SO MUNICIPALITIES GET TO APPLY AND SCORE FOR THESE PROJECTS TO HOPEFULLY GET FUNDING FOR IT. SO AS AN LPA DESIGNATED, OUR DEPARTMENT IS ACTUALLY ABLE TO MANAGE AND RUN THESE PROGRAMS OURSELVES, WHICH IS PROJECTS LIKE THE BROAD STREET PROJECT, WHERE INSTEAD OF HAVING TO BE MANAGED AND INSPECTED AND HANDLED ALL BY ODOT, AND WE ALL JUST PAY THE BILL FOR OUR PORTION OF IT, WE'RE ACTUALLY ABLE TO MANAGE THE PROJECTS OURSELVES. SO IT JUST GIVES A LITTLE BETTER FLEXIBILITY AND A LITTLE BETTER USE OF OUR MONEY IN TERMS OF HOW IT'S UTILIZED AND HOW IT'S INVESTED. SO THESE FUNDING PROGRAMS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HELPFUL FOR US. IT'S HOW WE COVERED A LOT OF OUR THOROUGHFARE PROJECTS. SO THE THREE REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE GRANT APPLICATIONS, SAME AS THE [INAUDIBLE] ONE IS WE HAVE TO PROVIDE A LOCAL MATCH DOLLAR. SO ALL THESE GRANTS ARE NOT 100%. THOSE ARE VERY RARE AND FEW. BUT GENERALLY WE'LL DO A 60/40 SPLIT OR AN 80/20, DEPENDING ON IT. A LOT OF THESE CONSIDERATIONS WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING INTO HOW MUCH MONEY YOU'RE APPLYING FOR A GRANT. EXCUSE ME. WE HAVE THESE SCORING SHEETS THAT WE HAVE TO PREPARE THAT BASICALLY LOOK AT THE PROJECT AS A WHOLE FROM A LENS OF VARIOUS ASPECTS. WHAT ARE THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF THIS PROJECT? WHAT ARE THE REGIONAL WHO IS BENEFITING FROM THEM? IS IT IN A DEMOGRAPHICALLY POOR AREA OR IS IT IN A COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL. SO THERE'S ALL SORTS OF FACTORS THAT THE REGIONAL GROUPS AND THE SCORES WILL BE LOOKING AT IT. AND WE HAVE TO SELF SCORE BASICALLY HOW ATTRACTIVE THIS PROJECT IS. AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST IMPACTS TO A APPLICATION SCORE IS WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE PROJECT YOU ARE WILLING TO INVEST IN IT. SO IF YOU DO A 60/40 SPLIT WHERE 60% OF THE FUNDING IS EXPECTED TO BE FROM THE GRANT FUNDING, YOU DON'T GET A LOT OF POINTS. YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE YOU'RE BANKING ON A LOT OF IT TO BE COMING FROM THEM. YOU'RE NOT PUTTING AS MUCH INTO IT. BUT FOR, YOU KNOW, SAY, IF YOU WANT TO INVEST 70/30 OR 80/20 AND PUT A LITTLE MORE SKIN IN THE GAME THAT GENERALLY HELPS A LOT WITH THE SCORING. SO A LOT OF THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, I'M BASICALLY LOOKING AT IT ALL THE WAY UP TO THE GRANT APPLICATION DEADLINE IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH WE CAN REALLY GET. SO LAST YEAR WE TRIED THIS APPLICATION AND WE GENERALLY TRIED IT AGGRESSIVELY FROM A. WE FELT IT WAS A GOOD LOCATION, WE FELT IT WAS WELL PLACED AND WE FELT IT WAS GOING TO SCORE WELL ENOUGH IN A WAY THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO AGGRESSIVELY PURSUE THE GRANT FUNDING. SO I THINK LAST YEAR WE HAD TRIED IT WITH AN 80/20 SPLIT, WHICH RELIED A LOT MORE ON THE FEDERAL SIDE. WE DIDN'T GET AS MUCH POINTS ON THAT ASPECT, AND THE APPLICATION SCORED WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, ESPECIALLY AS IT PERTAINED TO FEDERAL GRANTS NOWADAYS, IT'S A VERY IT'S A IT'S A SMALLER POOL OF FUNDING AVAILABLE YEAR TO YEAR. AND IT IS A MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE ONE. SO THIS YEAR WE'RE TAKING A STEP BACK. WE'RE STILL KIND OF CONFIDENT THAT WE CAN KIND OF PUSH SOMETHING ON IT. THIS TIME. HOWEVER, WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING A DIFFERENT SPLIT. SO IT'S GOING TO BE CLOSER TO A 60/40 SPLIT ON THE CITY SIDE. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO. SO THIS AS YOU SAID, IT'S THE DAYTON YELLOW SPRINGS ROAD RESURFACING. SO GENERALLY WE HAVE BEEN USING STP FUNDING FOR THOROUGHFARE CAPITAL PROJECTS IN WHICH WE ARE DOING CURBS, SIDEWALK MULTI-USE PATH, BIKE LANES. WE'RE DOING, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING THE WHOLE COMPLETE CORRIDOR. AS I LOOK INTO THIS FROM AN INFRASTRUCTURE AND A COMPLETE STREETS PERSPECTIVE, IT'S MOSTLY BUILT OUT. IT ALREADY HAS A PRETTY GOOD USE OF, OF VEHICLE TRAFFIC. IT ALREADY HAS SIDEWALK CURBS, DRAINAGE IS ALREADY IN PLACE. SO THERE'S NOT FOR US, THERE'S NOT MUCH FOR US TO ADD, BUT IT ALSO IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHEN WE'RE LOOKING FROM A PAVEMENT [00:30:01] MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE IN THAT IT IS A HEAVILY TRAFFICKED ROAD. AND WE DO IT WILL BE, IT WILL BENEFIT US TO RESURFACE IT AND TAKE CARE OF IT SOONER THAN LATER. BEFORE WE SUDDENLY HAVE TO TREAT IT AS A FULL PROJECT. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO AIM FOR HERE. THIS IS TARGETED FOR FISCAL YEAR 2031. SO WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT A PROJECT THAT'S FIVE YEARS AWAY, AND IT IS PRIMARILY GOING TO BE MILLING AND RESURFACING, INCLUDING BASE REPAIRS, PAVEMENT MARKINGS. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME SIGNAL DETECTION IMPROVEMENTS ON THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE HARDWARE AND MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO CATCH BASINS AND INLETS WHEREVER IT'S NEEDED. I DID NOT INCLUDE IT ON THE SLIDES, BUT THIS SECTION OF THIS THAT I'M DISCUSSING IS ESSENTIALLY FROM MAPLE ALL THE WAY TO 675. SO IT'S A PRETTY LONG STRETCH OF ROAD WITH A LOT OF INTERSECTIONS IN THE WAY. OUR HOPE IS THE ROAD RIGHT NOW IS IN OKAY SHAPE. HOPEFULLY IT'S NOT GOING TO GET WORSE AND IT WILL ALLOW US TO JUST RESURFACE IT. WHAT THIS GIVES US IS A IS A BIGGER BANG FOR OUR BUCK IN TERMS OF WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE LONG TERM CONSTRUCTION RESTRICTIONS. WE DON'T HAVE TO DO A LONG TERM MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC. WE CAN GO RESURFACE, MILL AS NEEDED, RESURFACE AS NEEDED, YOU KNOW, AND JUST HAVE A CONTRACTOR KNOCKED IT OUT OVER A MONTH OR SO. IT'S A LOT OF PAVING, BUT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A LOT BETTER PRODUCT, GET US A BETTER YOU KNOW, LONGEVITY FOR THE ROAD. SO OUR ESTIMATE FOR THE ENTIRE PROJECT IS JUST UNDER $900,000. AND GIVEN THE SPLIT THAT I'M PROPOSING WE'RE LOOKING AT A 60/40 SPLIT WITH THE CITY PORTION BEING ABOUT $346,000. I THINK THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW THE PROJECT TO SCORE A LITTLE BETTER. IF WE GET TO THE FINISH LINE AND I THINK I NEED TO SCORE EVEN LESS AND PUSH A LITTLE MORE, WE MIGHT MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS, BUT I'M PRETTY CONFIDENT WITH THESE NUMBERS AS THEY ARE AND THAT I'M JUST YEAH, JUST SOME PICTURES OF SOME OF THE FAILURES THAT YOU'RE ALREADY STARTING TO SEE SOME OF THE ALLIGATOR CRACKING, SOME OF THE SIGNS OF, YOU KNOW, DISTRESSED PAVEMENT AND SOME OF THE OTHER CRACKS. THIS IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A ROAD THAT, YOU KNOW, GIVEN THE VOLUME IT USES TO MAKE SURE WE, YOU KNOW, MAINTAIN IT AND TAKE CARE OF IT A LITTLE MORE FREQUENTLY AS YOU WOULD WITH ANOTHER LESS TRAVELED ROAD, JUST BECAUSE OF HOW IMPACTFUL IT WOULD BE TO LET A DETERIORATED PAST THE POINT OF RESURFACING. BECAUSE IF WE'RE LACKING, HAVING TO START DOING RECONSTRUCTION AND ANYTHING MORE INVOLVED ON IT, THAT SUDDENLY BECOMES A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE. AND GIVEN THE LOCATION, IT BECOMES A LOT MORE COMPLICATED. AND THAT IS ALL I GOT. I'M REQUESTING THE APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 44-26 AND HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. WE'LL START COUNCIL QUESTIONS WITH COUNCILMAN DODD. YOU SAID THIS IS IN FISCAL YEAR 31. YES. OKAY. YEAH. STP APPLICATIONS ARE GENERALLY IN A FIVE YEAR LEAD TIME. SO THIS IS FISCAL YEAR 31 IS GENUINELY THE EARLIEST WE CAN REQUEST FUNDING FOR IT. OH NO. I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROJECT. I TRAVEL THAT ROAD QUITE OFTEN. YEAH. SO THANK YOU. NO QUESTIONS MA'AM. WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH. THOROUGH PRESENTATION. NO QUESTIONS. THANKS, MA'AM. NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. SO THE ALLIGATOR PICTURE WITH THAT PIECE, THAT STRETCH, WILL THAT LAST UNTIL 31 OR WILL WE PROBABLY HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT BEFORE WE MIGHT HAVE SOME FIXES HERE AND THERE. OKAY. WE DO COORDINATE WITH OUR STREET DEPARTMENT WHO WOULD HANDLE ANY REPAIRS. GOT, YOU KNOW, IS A GREAT SUPERINTENDENT. HE GENERALLY DOES A FANTASTIC JOB OF, YOU KNOW, PUTTING THE BAND-AIDS ON THE STREETS UNTIL WE CAN GET TO A MORE PERMANENT SOLUTION. SO WE CAN ALWAYS SWITCH GEARS OR MAKE SOME IF WE GET TO AREAS THAT NEED SOME IMMEDIATE FIX, YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE WE MIGHT HAVE SOME MONEY PROGRAM IN FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, IF IT GETS TO A POINT WHERE A PORTION OF THE ROAD THAT I'M PROJECTING TO DO IN 31 NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY, I'M NOT GOING TO JUST LET IT GET WORSE SO. PERFECT. THANK YOU. MANUEL. YEAH. SO THE PART THAT SAID ABOUT SIGNAL DETECTION. YES. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT MORE? IT'S JUST WE'RE TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY SOME OF THE SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS ON THE ON THESE ON THIS PORTION OF DYS ARE STILL USING SIGNAL LOOPS OR OTHER FORM OF NON RADAR DETECTION. SO WE DO HAVE, WE DO HAVE DETECTION IN THE INTERSECTION IN TERMS OF TO LET US KNOW WHEN SOMEONE'S ON THE LEFT ONLY TURN, BUT SOME OF THIS HARDWARE GETS A LITTLE AS IT GETS OLDER, IT GETS A LITTLE MORE UNRELIABLE. AND FOR AS IT, AS IT COMES TO SIGNAL LOOPS, WHICH ARE JUST LITERALLY DETECTORS ON THE PAVEMENT ITSELF, YOU CAN'T LEAVE THEM IN PLACE WHEN YOU'RE RESURFACING, WHEN YOU RESURFACE AND MILL THAT OFF, THOSE ARE GONE. SO AT THIS POINT, IT'S MORE FEASIBLE FOR US TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ANYTHING THAT GETS MILLS MILLED OFF IN TERMS OF DETECTION GET REPLACED WITH [00:35:04] RADAR. RADAR UNITS ON THE ACTUAL SIGNAL HEADS JUST ALLOWS US TO HAVE MORE RELIABLE FLOW TRAFFIC DETECTION FOR SIGNALS TO HOPEFULLY WORK BETTER AND KEEP TRAFFIC FLOWING. SO DOES THAT MAKE IT MORE ADJUSTABLE FOR YOU? LIKE AS THERE'S SOME AREAS OVER THERE THAT ARE PROBABLY GOING TO GET DEVELOPED AND IF THE TRAFFIC GETS HEAVIER. IT WILL IT WILL GIVE US MORE ACCURATE INFORMATION. BUT WE ALREADY HAVE CENTRAX AND MOST OF THE CORRIDOR IS ALREADY LINKED IN TERMS OF SIGNAL TIMING, OR AT LEAST THE SIGNAL TIMING THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN PLACE. SO THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT ON ON EACH PARTICULAR INTERSECTION. RADAR DETECTION WOULD ALLOW US TO JUST HAVE MORE ACCURATE DATA TO WORK WITH. THANK YOU. YEAH. WHERE EXACTLY ON DYS ARE WE STARTING, FINISHING? FIVE POINTS, 675. OKAY, SO THAT'S FROM POINT A TO POINT B IS WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT FROM THAT. THAT'S THAT'S ALL THAT WHOLE STRETCH, THAT'S ALL WE'RE LOOKING TO RESURFACE. YEAH. OKAY. SO IT DOESN'T GO FIVE POINTS DOWN TO KAUFMAN. IT'S FIVE POINTS TO NO, NO. WE ACTUALLY. ARE WE DOING THAT? SO SO THAT PORTION OF DYS FROM KAUFMAN TO IRONWOOD IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE IN OUR STREET PROGRAM IN 28. SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE KNOCKING THAT ONE OUT BEFOREHAND. YES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. THANKS. GREAT PRESENTATION. AND AGAIN, SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO KEEP OUR INFRASTRUCTURE GOING. OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 44-26? SO MOVED. SECOND. DID YOU GET THAT? OKAY, BEV, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. MISS. CHESS. YES. MR.. MCCUBBINS. YES. MR.. ALLEN. YES. MR.. DODD. YES. MS.. REASTER. YES. STANTON. YES. MR.. KIRKPATRICK. YES. RESOLUTION 44-26 IS DULY ADOPTED. THANK YOU. OKAY. AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD, AND WE HAVE BETH BARNES. BETH IS NOT HERE THIS EVENING. DON'T SEE HER IN THE AUDIENCE. I JUST BEFORE WE TAKE A VOTE ON THIS, I WANT TO THANK HER FOR STEPPING UP. AND WE DO HAVE APPOINTMENTS ON A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT COMMITTEES IN THE CITY. SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, PLEASE CONTACT THE CITY OFFICE. THIS IS ONE OF THE FUN ONES. PARKS AND REC ADVISORY BOARD. THEY GET TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT THE PARKS. SO WE DO HAVE, I UNDERSTAND, A FEW MORE OPENINGS ON THAT BOARD. SO IF ANYBODY ELSE IS INTERESTED. SO AT THIS POINT, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE APPOINTMENT OF BETH BARNES TO THE PARKS AND REC ADVISORY BOARD. SO MOVED. SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. BEV, IF YOU COULD CALL THE ROLL. MS. REASTER. YES. MR.. ALLEN. YES. MISS CHESS. YES. MR.. DODD. YES. MR.. MCCUBBINS. YES. MISS STANTON? YES. MR. KIRKPATRICK? YES. BETH BARNES IS APPOINTED TO THE PARKS AND REC ADVISORY BOARD. AND AGAIN, THANK YOU, BETH, FOR DOING THAT. OKAY. [VII. Citizens Comments] NOW WE WILL OPEN UP CITIZENS COMMENTS. ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK FOR COUNCIL, PLEASE COME FORWARD. PLEASE GIVE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS AND PLEASE LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO FIVE MINUTES. I'M BACK. I WILL GIVE YOU A BRIEF THING OF WHAT. DON'T DO ME YET. I'LL GIVE YOU A BRIEF THING SO THAT WAY YOU CAN FILL IN THE BLANKS. OKAY. THAT'LL HELP YOU OUT. THAT'S WHAT I DO WITH HER. OKAY. OKAY. COUNCIL AND MAYOR, KOANNE COLLINS, 173 ERIE. SUNDAY AT NOON, THREE TO TO NOON AT COMMUNITY PARK. OCTOBER 4TH. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND WE HAD THE PRESENCE OF HAVING THE FAIRBORN FIRE DEPARTMENT CHIEF RYAN WILLIAMS AND THE STAFF SPARKY AND THE OUTFIT HE WAS IN ON A HOT DAY WAS GREAT. FAIRBORN LAW ENFORCEMENT LADY OFFICER RHODES AND OFFICER WEAVER DEMONSTRATING THE DRONE FAIRBORN PARKS. CHRIS BARKER WAS THERE WITH THE CITY SAFETY SET UP WITH A RED LIGHT FOR THE INFORMATION ON SAFETY CITY. WE HAD CITY, NEW EQUIPMENT, TRUCKS AND TRACTORS AND THERE WAS INFORMATION ABOUT PEOPLE ASKING ABOUT RONA HILL'S GRANT IN THE PARK. THE CITY OF FAIRBORN COMMUNICATIONS. EMILY GAY WAS THERE. ODOT, WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY POLICE, GREENE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OFFICER. LADY BOWERS, OFFICER GREEN OF THE STATE HIGHWAY PATROL FAIRBORN SCHOOL BUS WITH A HANDICAP RAMP. INFORMATION, GOODIES FOR THE KIDS, DEMOS, PUTTING OUT FIRES AND THE KIDS HAD HOSE SHOWS, RESOURCES WE HAVE IN THE SAFETY PROTECTION AND WHY I'M SAYING ALL THIS IS BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR CITIZENS MAY NOT KNOW AND REALIZE THAT OUR PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT US THROUGH ALL OF OUR FAIRS, [00:40:02] FESTIVALS, PARADES AND EVERYTHING, THEY GIVE TIME BEFORE AND AFTER AND DURING, YOU KNOW, SET UP, CLEAN UP AND ALL THAT. THEY'RE OUT THERE, THEY WORK HARD. THEY DON'T JUST TELL PEOPLE TO DO THINGS. THEY DO IT THEMSELVES. THEY MAKE SURE IT'S DONE. AND FAIRBORN IS VERY BLESSED WITH THIS. AND I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE PEOPLE DO FOLLOW THIS, THAT THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON WHEN WE HAVE NEW VEHICLES AND WHY WE BUY THEM, AND WHEN WE HAVE PROBLEMS, WHY WE DO THEM. AND SO I THINK IT'S VERY GOOD THAT THEY'VE GOT THE GRANT FOR THE VERONA HILLS PARK. WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM GOING TO BEAVER CREEK NOW. THEY CAN DO THAT. I WANTED TO ESPECIALLY DO THIS BECAUSE I HAD AN INCIDENT WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AS MY SMOKE DETECTORS WENT OFF AND I GOT UP. I DIDN'T SMELL NO SMOKE, SO I STOOD ON A CHAIR AND HOPED NOT TO BREAK MY NECK AND UNSCREWED THEM. TWO GO OFF WHEN YOU GOT TWO AND I HAD TO GO TAKE THEM DOWN AND OPEN THE GARAGE DOOR, PITCHED THEM OUT. I SAID, OKAY, GOD, I'M GOING BACK TO BED, CREMATE ME OR GO WHEREVER. SO ANYWAY, I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THEY DO COME OUT AND THEY CHECK IT. ONE THING I DIDN'T HAVE THOUGH IS A CARBON MONOXIDE. AND WHEN THEY CAME OUT, THEY TOLD ME IT HAS TO BE LOW. IT HAS TO BE. IF YOU HEAR THAT ALARM, GET OUT. WINTER'S COMING ON. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT OUR CITIZENS ARE MADE AWARE OF ALL THE SERVICES THAT OUR COMMUNITY, THE POLICE AND THE FIRE DO. OUR CHILDREN ARE SAFE BECAUSE WE HAVE OFFICERS IN THE SCHOOL TO GUARD OUR NEW SCHOOLS AND OUR KIDS. THEY'RE OUT THERE WATCHING THE TRAFFIC GO. I SEE THEM EVERY DAY ON MAPLE. THIS IS WONDERFUL. WE CARE ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY. WE CARE ABOUT OUR OUR CITIZENS AND ABOUT OUR KIDS. AND I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL THAT FAIRBORN DOES THIS. WE'VE GOT A LOT MORE PROGRAMS THAT SOME DON'T HAVE, AND I WANT TO WISH HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 35 TO CHANTILLY, THREE TIME DESSERT BAKER FOR PRESIDENTS AND A LONG TIME MEMBER HERE. DONE. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK TO COUNCIL? GOOD EVENING, MAYOR KIRKPATRICK AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING A SUBJECT TO YOU, COLLECTIVELY AND INDIVIDUALLY. THAT IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO SCOUTING AMERICA, AND THAT IS GUIDING THE YOUTH OF OUR COMMUNITY TO BE THE BEST IN THEIR FAMILY AND THE COMMUNITY IN THE NATION AND GLOBALLY. MY NAME IS STAN COBB. I'M THE VICE CHAIR OF SYCAMORE DISTRICT OF TECUMSEH COUNCIL OF SCOUTING AMERICA, WHICH ENCOMPASSES GREENE AND CLINTON COUNTIES. YOU HAVE PACKETS THAT I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WOULD LOOK AT AT YOUR CONVENIENCE. AND WHAT THESE PACKETS ARE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP OR I SHOULD ACTUALLY SAY, BE A PARTNER WITH SCOUTING AMERICA IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR YOUTH. WE WANT OUR YOUTH TO BE THE BEST THAT THEY CAN BE AT WHATEVER THEY CHOOSE TO BE. WHAT THE PACKETS ARE ASKING YOU TO DO ACTUALLY IS TO BECOME INDIVIDUALLY, COLLECTIVELY WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES OR WITH YOUR RELIGIOUS GROUPS OR OTHER CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS THAT YOU MIGHT BE A MEMBER OF TO BECOME CHARTER ORGANIZATIONS. AND WHAT THAT INVOLVES IS THAT WITH THE SIGNING OF THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH SCOTT, WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, WHICH GIVES MEMBERS THE CHILDREN OF ACTIVE DUTY MEMBERS A WAIVER FOR REGISTRATION FEES AND THE SIGNING AND PASSING OF SENATE BILL 19, WHICH GIVES SCOUTING AMERICA THE OPPORTUNITY TO RETURN TO SCHOOLS AND GIVE THE YOUTH AND SCHOOLS A BRIEF GLIMPSE OF WHAT SCOUTING HAS TO OFFER THEM. THIS, WE BELIEVE, WILL CAUSE AN INCREASE IN OUR REGISTRATION AND IN THAT BEING WITH THE CURRENT MEMBERS THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE CHARTER ORGANIZATION, WE BELIEVE THAT THIS MIGHT CAUSE AN OVERFLOW OF YOUTH. WE DON'T WANT OUR YOUTH TO THINK THAT THEY ARE JUST A NUMBER. WE WANT THEM TO HAVE FUN AND THINK THAT THEY ARE ARE WORTHWHILE. SO IF WE HAVE OTHER PEOPLE AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE CHARTER ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP IN THAT REGARD, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. AND AGAIN, TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK AT THE PACKET. MY CONTACT INFORMATION IS ALSO ATTACHED TO IT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO CALL ME. AND I THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. STAN, I THINK I WAS REMISS, I NEEDED YOUR WE NEED YOUR ADDRESS. [00:45:06] OH MY. MY ADDRESS IS 569 WARM SPRINGS DRIVE, WHICH IS IN RONO HILLS. THANKS, I APPRECIATE IT, THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK TO COUNCIL, PLEASE COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME. SEEING NO ONE ELSE COME FORWARD, WE WILL CLOSE CITIZENS COMMENTS AND MOVE ON TO CITY MANAGER COMMENTS. [VIII. City Manager Comments] GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL AND EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE. FIRST MONDAY OF THE MONTH. SO WE HAVE OUR MILESTONE RECIPIENTS FOR OCTOBER. UNFORTUNATELY NONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS COULD BE HERE THIS EVENING. HOWEVER, JEREMY BILLETER IN OUR WATER TREATMENT DIVISION AT 25 YEARS WITH FIVE YEARS.

SO THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE MILESTONE RECIPIENTS FOR THEIR DEDICATION TO THE CITY AND OUR RESIDENTS. JUST A FEW OTHER THINGS. PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE PARK. AS JOANNE HAD MENTIONED, IT WAS A GREAT KICKOFF TO FIRE PREVENTION WEEK. ON SUNDAY, THANKS TO CHIEF WILLIAMS, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AS WELL AS OUR POLICE, PARKS AND RECREATION AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTS FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO MAKE THAT A GREAT EVENT EVERY YEAR. NEXT MONDAY NIGHT WE WILL HAVE A WORK SESSION THAT BEGINS AT 5 P.M. AT SPARC FAIRBORN. IT'S AT 305 WEST MAIN STREET, THE OLD RAUSCH'S RESTAURANT. THIS WILL BE OUR ANNUAL CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027. AND SO CHRISTINA COOPER OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR, IS WORKING DILIGENTLY TO FINALIZE ALL THE DETAILS OF THAT IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET REQUEST. AND I AM HOPEFUL THAT WE WILL HAVE SOMETHING FOR COUNCIL TO REVIEW NO LATER THAN THURSDAY AT NOON, PREFERABLY WEDNESDAY BY 5 P.M.. SO LOOK AT YOUR EMAIL FOR THOSE. BUT AGAIN, THAT'S AT SPARC FAIRBORN 305 WEST MAIN, BEGINNING AT 5 P.M. IT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. AND IT'S OUR ANNUAL BUDGET WORK SESSION USUALLY TAKES ANYWHERE FROM AN HOUR AND A HALF TO 2.5 HOURS TO DO THAT. SO THIS WILL BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEW FINANCE DIRECTOR AND A NEW ASSISTANT FINANCE DIRECTOR. AND SO IT'LL BE A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR THEM ALSO. ALSO, I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY THAT PARTICIPATED WITH PENNY DAVIS LAST WEEK. WEDNESDAY WAS HER LAST DAY. WE HAD A NICE RECEPTION HERE FROM 11 TO 1. PENNY WORKED RIGHT UP UNTIL 5 P.M., WHICH IS TYPICAL OF HER. AND WE WISH HER THE BEST. WE WILL SEE HER ON FRIDAY AS SHE COMES BACK FOR THE EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION PICNIC, BUT CERTAINLY IS DIFFERENT WITHOUT HER. BUT BUT, BEV WAS A BAPTISM BY FIRE TONIGHT. THANK YOU FOR FOR STEPPING UP VERY QUICKLY. AND WE WISH JULIE AND HER FAMILY THE BEST TOO, AND HOPE FOR THE BEST OUTCOME THERE. BUT THANKS TO BEV AND THANKS TO PENNY AND TO THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO MADE THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS SPECIAL FOR PENNY. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE THIS EVENING, YOUR HONOR, UNLESS YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ME.

FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR COMING DOWN TONIGHT. WE ALWAYS LIKE TO SEE ALL THESE WONDERFUL, HAPPY FACES OUT THERE SO WE CAN SMILE AT YOU AND JOANNE THANK YOU FOR THAT. YOU ALWAYS BRING POSITIVE ENERGY WHEN YOU COME UP AND SPEAK ABOUT OUR PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR OUR CITY, THE THINGS THAT THEY DO HERE IN OUR CITY. THEY DO A LOT. AND I DON'T THINK PEOPLE REALLY REALIZE HOW MUCH WORK IT TAKES TO PUT SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS ON, AND HOW MUCH ENERGY IT TAKES. AND NOT ONLY THAT, I REALLY DO BELIEVE THEY DON'T DO IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO DO IT. I THINK THEY DO IT BECAUSE THEY ENJOY DOING. THEY LOVE IT AND THEY LOVE THIS CITY. SO THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS REMINDING US OF OF THE GREAT PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE WORKING FOR US AND THE PEOPLE THAT VOLUNTEER IN OUR CITY TO DO GREAT THINGS. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. MR. COBB, THANK YOU FOR YOUR YOUR PRESENTATION TODAY. AND I'M SO SURE THAT AS PEOPLE ORGANIZATIONS IN FAIRBORN LOOK AT YOUR PROPOSAL THAT THEY WOULD TAKE PROBABLY CONSIDER MAYBE DOING SOMETHING WITH YOU. AND I HOPE THEY DO BECAUSE I THINK IT'S WORTHWHILE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I REALLY DON'T HAVE MUCH ON TONIGHT. I WENT TO THE CAR SHOW, AND IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. AND I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO SEE THE MAN RUNNING. DID YOU RUN IN HEELS, CLINT? THEY DIDN'T WANT TO SEE THAT. THEY DIDN'T WANT. OH, OKAY. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE THAT IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST. [00:50:02] MAYBE NOT THIS YEAR. JUST SAYING. YEAH. ME TOO. I HAVE A VIDEO. YEAH. SO ANYWAY, IT WAS A SUCCESS. AND THERE WERE SO MANY WONDERFUL CARS OUT THERE, AND THE PEOPLE WERE SO FRIENDLY. GREAT FOOD, GREAT PEOPLE OUT THERE. IT WAS JUST ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. SO OTHER THAN THAT, I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT UP TO COUNCILMAN RODNEY TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE WEATHER [LAUGHS]. AND WE'LL WE'LL GO FROM THERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE. GOD BLESS. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TODAY, SO THANK YOU. THANKS FOR EVERYBODY WHO STOOD UP AND SPOKE. I HOPE YOU HAVE A LOVELY WEEK. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANKS TO THE MILESTONES FOR WORKING FOR FAIRBORN. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ANNIVERSARIES. THANKS, JOANNE, FOR THE COMMENTS. AGREE WITH SYLVIA. IT'S SO NICE. YOU ALWAYS COME AND COMPLIMENT THE CITY OR THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY. TO APPRECIATE THAT I'M MORE OF A MORNING PERSON AND I'M LIKELY TO BE IN COMMUNITY PARK IN THE MORNING AND THE AFTERNOON. SO THAT'S ONE EVENT THAT I ALWAYS CATCH BECAUSE USUALLY I'M THERE SETTING IT UP WHEN I'M WALKING MY DOG. SO I SWING BACK AROUND AND IT IS REALLY COOL TO SEE LIKE, IT'S A REALLY NEAT EVENT. AND STAN, THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCOUTING. JUST A QUESTION IS, IS THE INFORMATION THAT HE GAVE US GOING TO BE IN THE NOTES FOR THIS WHEN WE APPROVE THEM SO THAT ANYBODY WHO'S INTERESTED. OKAY, THEN SO HE GAVE US INFORMATION. SO ANYONE WATCHING THIS MEETING, WHEN THOSE MEETING MINUTES COME OUT, YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT WAS HE HANDED TO US. JUST WANT TO SAY I THINK IT WAS OUR PART OF BEAVER VALLEY ROAD THAT GOT DONE AND OH, SO NICE, SO SMOOTH. IT'S AWESOME. LET'S SEE. AND I'LL JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, MIKE ALREADY SAID IT ABOUT THE BUDGET WORK SESSION. IT'S VERY I MEAN, AS YOU KNOW, IT'S A BUDGET, SO IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, LIKE GOING TO THE MOVIES, BUT IT IS REALLY INTERESTING. YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE THE CONCISE PRESENTATION THAT TALKS ABOUT HOW ALL THE MONEY GETS SPENT FOR THE YEAR AND WHAT KIND OF PROJECTS, YOU KNOW, ARE LINED UP. SO I MEAN, IT IS, IT'S PRETTY WORTHWHILE IF IT CAN FIT YOUR SCHEDULE AT 5:00 TO BE THERE DOWN AT SPARK. SO PLEASE JOIN IF IT INTERESTS YOU. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR ATTENDING TODAY. IT'S NICE SEEING FRIENDLY FACES OUT IN. AND ALSO FOR THOSE THAT ARE ONLINE WATCHING. I ALSO WANT TO THE EMPLOYEE MILESTONES. THAT'S A BIG LIST. THAT WAS THAT'S AMAZING. THAT'S GREAT. ALSO A REMINDER FRIDAY THE 16TH IS THIS, THIS MONTH IS THE HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST. IF YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT WITH THOSE LITTLE KIDS IN THEIR COSTUMES, IT'S AMAZING. I HAVE I THINK I'VE BEEN THERE LIKE EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS AS A JUDGE. SO IT'S REALLY, IF YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT, IT'S AMAZING. AND THE DOWNTOWN STREET EVENTS, YOU KNOW, FOY PUTS ON A REALLY GOOD VOLUNTEER BOARDS. I AM A VERY STRONG BELIEVER THAT PEOPLE IF THEY WOULD IF VOLUNTEER WITH, WITH THE DIFFERENT BOARDS THAT ARE IN THE CITY AND WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ESPECIALLY PARKS AND RECREATION. IT'S, IT IS THAT'S HOW I STARTED. WELL, TEN YEARS AGO ON THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD, IT IS AMAZING. YOU GET TO LEARN THE INTERMIXING OF HOW THE CITY WORKS AND THAT PARTICULAR BOARD AND HOW YOU CAN HELP THE CITY. SO ANYBODY THAT IS INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING FOR ANY OF THESE BOARDS, PLEASE LET ANY OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS KNOW OR CALL THE CITY AND WE'LL HOOK YOU UP. I TOO WAS AT THAT CAR SHOW. THAT WAS AMAZING. THERE WAS A LOT OF CARS THERE. A LOT OF REALLY INTERESTING ONES. I WAS I WAS IMPRESSED. SO. AND THAT'S ABOUT ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, EVERYONE. THANKS, EVERYONE FOR COMING TONIGHT. I WAS AT THE CAR SHOW. I WAS NOT IN HEELS THIS TIME. THIS TIME, HOWEVER, THE HEELS FOR HEROES, WHAT THEY WERE ALLUDING TO WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OPERATION FAIRBORN CARES TO RAISE RAISE FUNDS. THAT'S THE BIGGEST FUNDRAISER, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE WHERE WE TRY TO HELP THOSE VETS WHO ARE [00:55:11] IN DISTRESS AND THEY CAN'T EITHER PAY A BILL GET A CAR REPAIR AND THEY'RE JUST DOWN ON THEIR, ON THEIR, ON THEIR LUCK. SO WE TRY TO FILL THAT GAP AND THAT'S OUR BIG FUNDRAISER. AND SO I JUST WANT TO SHOUT OUT TO ALL THOSE WHO SUPPORTED US. I THINK EVERY COUNCIL MEMBER SUPPORTED IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. TO, TO SUPPORT THAT EVENT. AND I TRULY, TRULY APPRECIATE IT. AND THAT WILL SUSTAIN US AT LEAST FOR ANOTHER YEAR TO TAKE CARE OF SOME, SOME, SOME VETERANS WHO ARE IN NEED. I DO WANT TO YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THANK EVERYBODY FOR BEING HERE. THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS I JUST WANTED TO SHARE. THIS IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH AND HENCE THE PINK TIE. SO I'M SUPPORTING, BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS AGAIN, THIS IS A CAMPAIGN THAT THAT'S DONE NATIONALLY EVERY YEAR. AND AGAIN, IT'S JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE STORIES TO HONOR THOSE SURVIVORS AND TO SHARE THOSE MESSAGES OF HOPE. FOR THOSE WHO ARE STILL FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT WHEN IT COMES TO BREAST CANCER. SO THAT YOU'LL SEE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE MONTH. SO I JUST PLEASE, SIR, PLEASE, MA'AM, SHARE IN THAT AND TAKE PART IN THOSE THINGS. I DO WANT TO ALSO PUT A PLUG OUT FOR THE FAIRBORN FISH FOOD PANTRY TOMORROW. IS A BIG EVENT FOR THEM. THEY WILL BE PUTTING CAR SEATS. THEY WILL BE GIVING OUT CAR SEATS FOR THOSE FAMILIES WHO ARE IN NEED OF CAR SEATS. I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I SPOKE WITH JANE DAWLEY AND BILL THIS AFTERNOON AND, AND THEY'RE JUST PREPARING FOR THAT. SO THEY HAD A HUGE NEED. SOMETIMES THEY HAVE THOSE FAMILIES COME UP AND THERE ARE NO CAR SEATS. LITERALLY THE, THE PARENT IS DRIVING THE CAR WITH THE CHILD IN ONE HAND AND THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE NEXT. SO NOT A GOOD LOOK. AND THEY FOUND IT TO BE VERY, VERY STRESSFUL. AND JANE AND BILL SAW THE NEED. THEY ASKED FOR HELP AND THEY WERE GOING TO DO THAT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. OUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF HELPING PUT THOSE CAR SEATS AND THOSE FAMILIES WHO NEED THEM TOMORROW. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. COBB, FOR THE FOR THE WORDS ABOUT SCOUTING. JUST IN GENERAL. I MEAN, EVEN IF WE CAN BECOME A CHARTER MEMBER OR A CHARTER ORGANIZATION, JUST WHAT SCOUTS, WHAT WHAT SCOUTING DOES FOR A YOUNG FOR A YOUNG PEOPLE IS JUST AMAZING. SETTING THE FOUNDATION GIVING THEM THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO MOVE FORWARD AND AND, AND, AND DEAL WITH THE THINGS THEY DEAL WITH IN THIS WORLD. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK. AND I KNOW DAN IS A HUGE PART OF THAT, THAT PROGRAM AS WELL. SO EVERYONE WHO TAKES PART IN THAT SCOUTING, IT'S IT'S FANTASTIC. THE THE LAST THING IS VOLUNTEERISM. WE HEARD THAT BETH IS GOING TO BE ON THE PARKS BOARD. THERE'S MORE THAN ENOUGH OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYBODY. SO DON'T BE SHY. VOLUNTEER FOR BOARD. COUNCIL. JUST THERE'S, THERE'S MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM AT THE TABLE. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. DEPUTY MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES FOR ALL THEIR WONDERFUL COMMENTS TONIGHT, AND I WON'T REGURGITATE A LOT OF WHAT THEY SAID, BUT THEY'VE THEY'VE MADE SOME GOOD COMMENTS TONIGHT. THANK YOU TO OUR CITIZENS WHO CAME UP AND SPOKE TONIGHT. WE REALLY DO APPRECIATE THAT. AS SYLVIA SAID, YOUR WEEKLY TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WINTER'S COMING. I KNOW IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT BECAUSE WE'RE STILL IN THE 70S IN OCTOBER, BUT IT IS COMING. BEFORE YOU KNOW, IT WILL BE IN THAT DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME THING AGAIN SINCE WE CAN'T DECIDE AS A NATION IF WE WANT TO DO IT OR NOT. SO IT'S A GREAT TIME TO CHANGE YOUR BATTERIES, AS JOANNE ALLUDED TO. FOR THOSE THAT NEED HELP WITH THAT OR NEED SMOKE DETECTORS OR CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS, PLEASE CONTACT OUR FIRE DEPARTMENTS. THEY HAVE THOSE AVAILABLE AND THEY WILL ASSIST YOU IN GETTING THOSE PUT UP. [01:00:02] SPEAKING OF FIRE DEPARTMENT AND OUR OTHER FIRST RESPONDERS, THEY HAD A VERY BUSY WEEKEND THIS WEEKEND, BUT A LOT OF WORK OVER THE WEEKEND WITH FIRES AND OTHER OTHER ISSUES. THANKFULLY, NO FATALITIES. EVERYBODY WAS OKAY, BUT A LOT OF WORK WENT INTO THOSE RESPONDING TO THOSE EVENTS. ON THE BUDGET SIDE OF THE HOUSE, I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THE BUDGET, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A PRETTY MUCH A 500 PAGE DOCUMENT. THAT'S VERY DIFFICULT AND TIME CONSUMING TO GO THROUGH, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE NOT AN ACCOUNTANT AND YOU DON'T HAVE CLASSICAL TRAINING IN THAT STUFF. BUT IT'S A VERY GOOD DOCUMENT AND REALLY BREAKS DOWN WHERE WE'RE SPENDING OUR MONEY. AND I CAN TELL YOU FROM MY REVIEWS OVER THE YEARS, WE'VE DONE, WE DO A REALLY GOOD JOB AT. TAKING CUSTODY OF THE TAX DOLLARS THAT WERE GIVEN AND SPENDING THEM WISELY. WITH THAT, ACCORDING TO AN ARTICLE I READ OVER THE WEEKEND, EL NINO, SUPER EL NINO, OR WHATEVER IT'S BEING CALLED THESE DAYS IS PROJECTING US TO HAVE A MILDER WINTER, A DRIER WINTER, WHICH WOULD MEAN LESS ACCUMULATION. NOW, I KNOW WE'VE ALREADY PROBABLY STOCKED OUR SALT BARN FOR THE YEAR, SO WE WON'T SEE A COST SAVINGS MONEY THERE BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY SPENT THAT MONEY. BUT POTENTIALLY, IF THIS HOLDS TRUE, WE WON'T USE AS MUCH SALT THIS WINTER, WHICH MEANS WE'LL BUY LESS NEXT YEAR, WHICH IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING UNLESS YOU LIKE SNOW. AND THAT'S WHY I PERSONALLY DON'T CARE FOR THE STUFF MYSELF. BEV, THANK YOU FOR FILLING IN TONIGHT ON SHORT NOTICE. I'VE SEEN BEV'S WORK FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS CITY, AND HER MINUTES ARE GOING TO BE WONDERFUL, SO I HAVE NO DOUBT SHE'LL DO A GREAT JOB. AND I'LL FINISH BY SAYING GO SKYHAWKS. OUR VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM IS DOING FANTASTIC THIS YEAR, SO IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO GET OUT THERE AND SUPPORT THE KIDS AS THEY'RE PLAYING IN RUDMAN, WE'D APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. OKAY, LET ME GET THROUGH MY COMMENTS HERE. I WANT TO THANK JOANN AND STAN FOR COMING UP THIS EVENING AND GIVING COMMENTS ABOUT THE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THAT YOU WERE A PART OF. I WANT TO TOUCH ON A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT STAN SAID. HE USED THE TERM SCOUTING AMERICA SEVERAL TIMES. SCOUTING AMERICA IS THE TERM NOW FOR WHAT USED TO BE THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA. BOY SCOUTS SEVERAL YEARS AGO STARTED INCLUDING GIRLS IN CUB SCOUT PACK, BOY SCOUT TROOPS, SEPARATE BOY SCOUT TROOPS, OR COED BOY SCOUT TROOPS. BUT I DO WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT GIRLS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE SCOUTING MOVEMENT, ACTUALLY, SINCE THE EARLY 70S IN EXPLORER POST. I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS IN AN EXPLORER POST IN HIGH SCHOOL, WE WERE WE HAD A COED EXPLORER POST. SO IT ACTUALLY GOES WAY BACK TO THE 1970S, BUT IT'S BEEN MUCH MORE FORMALIZED IN THE LAST FEW YEARS WITH CUB SCOUTS AND BOY SCOUTS. AND WHAT STAN IS WORKING ON IN HIS POSITION IS TO LOOK AT HOW WE CAN FORM MORE SCOUTING UNITS. AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR CHARTERED ORGANIZATIONS, WHETHER THAT'S A CHURCH GROUP, A SCHOOL, ANOTHER ORGANIZATION WHO MIGHT WANT TO CHARTER AN ORGANIZATION OF SCOUTING AMERICA, WHETHER IT'S CUB SCOUTS, OLDER SCOUTS THAT USED TO BE CALLED BOY SCOUTS, NOW SCOUTING AMERICA. BUT AS CLINT MENTIONED, SCOUTING OFFERS A LOT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. WE STILL HAVE EXPLORER POSTS THAT FOCUS ON PARTICULAR JOB CAREERS. THERE ARE POLICE EXPLORER POSTS, FIRE EXPLORER POSTS, OTHER KINDS OF EXPLORER POSTS. THERE'S LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH THE SCOUTING AMERICA PROGRAM FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE TO GET ENGAGED AND INVOLVED. SO STAN IS ONE OF THE PEOPLE TO CONTACT IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. THERE ARE OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY TOO, BUT PLEASE CONSIDER BECOMING A VOLUNTEER OR GETTING ACTIVE IN THOSE PROGRAMS. VERY IMPORTANT PART OF OUR COMMUNITY. IT'S BEEN MENTIONED ABOUT THE HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL. IT'S ACTUALLY THREE DAYS. FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY 16-17-18. THE COSTUME CONTEST IS A BIG THING. IT STARTS AT THE YMCA WHERE THE JUDGING TAKES PLACE, AND THEN THEY PARADE DOWN CENTRAL AVENUE TO CENTRAL AND MAIN WHERE THE STAGE WILL BE. AND THERE'S AWARDS FOR THE THE COSTUME AWARD WINNERS. BUT THE THE HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL IS HUGE. I THINK IT'S WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BIGGEST HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL IN THE STATE OF OHIO. IT ATTRACTS PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER. I'VE TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUST MOVED TO THIS AREA, AND THE FIRST THING THEY'VE HEARD ABOUT IS THE HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL, AND THEY'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. I TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE AT THE CAR SHOW ABOUT IT, AND PEOPLE WERE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE UPCOMING HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL. MENTIONED THE MILESTONES. KUDOS TO ALL OF THOSE FOLKS. HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THAT LIST. IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE STAFF THAT CHOOSE TO STAY WITH THE CITY AND FOR THOSE THAT MAKE A CAREER OF IT. WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE CAR SHOW AND THE HEELS FOR HEROES, AS CLINT MENTIONED. [01:05:04] THAT'S A GREAT FUNDRAISER TO HELP OUR VETERANS WHO, WHO NEED THAT EXTRA LITTLE BIT FOR WHATEVER REASON. BUT THE HEELS FOR HEROES PROGRAM IS A GREAT WAY, GREAT WAY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. YOU'RE GOING TO BE HEARING MORE AND MORE IN THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS ABOUT THE SISTER CITY INITIATIVE THAT WE HAVE BEEN APPROACHED. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET A SISTER CITY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS FOR THE CITY OF FAIRBORN. WE'VE LOOKED AT CITIES IN EUROPE, CITIES IN ASIA, AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN APPROACHED BY A CITY OUTSIDE OF TOKYO IN JAPAN WHO IS INTERESTED IN FORMING A SISTER CITY RELATIONSHIP. SO WE ARE REFORMING THE COMMITTEE ON THAT TO LOOK AT THAT, AND THAT WILL BE REPRESENTATION FROM THE CITY, THE CHAMBER, THE SCHOOLS, WRIGHT STATE AND POTENTIALLY FROM THE BASE. SO YOU'LL BE HEARING MORE ABOUT THE SISTER CITY PROGRAM. AND IF THAT WORKS OUT, WE MAY HAVE A SISTER CITY IN JAPAN. SO WE'LL, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW. THAT WILL OFFER ALL KINDS OF TRAVEL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR CITIZENS. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE GROUPS OUT PICKING UP TRASH ON THE WEEKENDS. SO ASK YOU TO PLEASE BE AWARE OF THAT. THERE'S SIGNS OUT. YOU'LL SEE PEOPLE WEARING, WEARING REFLECTIVE VESTS AND PICKING UP TRASH. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE THOSE KINDS OF PROGRAMS. YOU'LL SEE SEVERAL DIFFERENT GROUPS OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS DOING THAT. THE REAL MESSAGE IS PLEASE DON'T LITTER. THEN WE DON'T NEED THOSE ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY PROGRAMS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE DO. RIGHT NOW THERE IS LITTER OUT THERE. IF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD OR YOUR ORGANIZATION WOULD LIKE TO SPONSOR AND ADOPT A HIGHWAY PROGRAM, YOU CAN CONTACT THE CITY STREET DEPARTMENT. IF YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE A MAP THAT SHOWS WHERE THERE ARE OPENINGS FOR ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY PROGRAMS. I KNOW WE'VE GOT SEVERAL COMING UP. OUR FAIRBORN MILITARY VETERANS COALITION IS GOING TO BE DOING ONE HERE REAL SOON. THERE'S SEVERAL OTHER GROUPS THAT ARE LOOKING AT DOING THEM ALSO. SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN HELPING MAKE FAIRBORN A MORE BEAUTIFUL CITY, CONSIDER JOINING ONE OF THOSE GROUPS OR STARTING ONE FOR YOUR OWN ORGANIZATION OR NEIGHBORHOOD. I WANT TO TALK FOR JUST A MINUTE ABOUT THIS LAST FRIDAY'S FOOTBALL GAME. IF YOU MISSED THAT GAME, YOU MISSED ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING FOOTBALL GAMES THIS CITY HAS SEEN IN YEARS. FAIRBORN HIGH SCHOOL WAS BEHIND FROM THE GET GO, 14 TO NOTHING AT ONE POINT AT THE START SHORTLY AFTER THE GAME STARTED, THEY WENT BACK AND FORTH AND BACK AND FORTH, AND IN THE FOURTH QUARTER THEY TIED IT. PICO HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO KICK A FIELD GOAL. THEY HAD AN EXCELLENT KICKER WHO WASN'T MISSING ANY OTHER KICKS THAT HE MADE. WELL, WE BLOCKED THAT FIELD GOAL. AND BY BLOCKING THAT FIELD GOAL AND SOME OTHER SCORES THAT WENT ON FAIRBORN HIGH SCHOOL WAS ABLE TO TIE THE GAME AND THEN IN OVERTIME PICO SCORED, THEY THEY SCORED A TOUCHDOWN. KICKED AN EXTRA POINT. WE CAME RIGHT BACK. AND THE WAY OVERTIME WORKS, YOU GET ONE OPPORTUNITY, A SET OF FOUR DOWNS TO MATCH THEIR SCORE. THEY FAIRBORN MADE A TOUCHDOWN, AND THEN THE FAIRBORN COACHES CHOSE. LET'S NOT SETTLE FOR ANOTHER TIE. LET'S GO FOR THE WIN. SO THEY WENT FOR THE TWO POINT CONVERSION. AND BY GOLLY, THEY MADE IT. AND IN OVERTIME, OUR FAIRBORN HIGH SCHOOL WON THE GAME BY ONE POINT. BY GETTING A TWO POINT CONVERSION. ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAMES I'VE EVER SEEN. AND IT WAS RIGHT HERE IN FAIRBORN. SO IF YOU MISSED THAT, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S OUT THERE ON VIDEO THROUGH THE SCHOOLS. PARDON? IT'S ALL OVER THE SOCIALS. YEAH, IT'S ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA. YOU CAN SEE THE, THE, THE CONVERSION THAT WAS MADE FOR THE TWO POINTS. BUT BEING THERE WAS REALLY SPECIAL. WHAT MADE IT PARTICULARLY SPECIAL, THOUGH, IS FAIRBORN CITY SCHOOLS MADE IT FAIRBORN MILITARY APPRECIATION NIGHT. AND THE GOAL WAS TO GET AS MANY VETERANS DOWN THERE ON THE FIELD AT HALF TIME. WE WERE HOPING FOR MAYBE A DOZEN OR TWO TO SHOW UP DOWN ON THE FIELD. WE HAD OVER 100 VETERANS WHO CAME DOWN ONTO THE FIELD AT HALF TIME, AND THEY WERE RECOGNIZED, BOTH PICO VETERANS AND FAIRBORN VETERANS. SO IT WAS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO RECOGNIZE OUR VETERANS FAIRBORN MILITARY VETERANS APPRECIATION NIGHT AT THE FOOTBALL GAME. SO IF YOU MISS THE GAME, YOU MISS TWO GREAT OPPORTUNITIES TO RECOGNIZE OUR VETERANS IN THE COMMUNITY AND TO SEE ONE OF THE BEST HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAMES [01:10:02] YOU'LL EVER SEE. IT WAS REALLY AN EXCITING GAME. AND I'LL FINISH WITH JUST ALSO SAYING WE'RE GOING TO MISS PENNY. PENNY WAS A BIG PART OF THIS COMMUNITY. A BIG PART OF THE CITY STAFF. JULIE'S GOING TO DO A GREAT JOB.
