Nov 02, 2026 City Council

[00:00:01]

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOOD.

[I. Call to Order]

MR. KIRKPATRICK. HERE. MR. ALLEN. HERE. MISS CHESS.

HERE. MR. DODD. HERE. MR. MCCUBBINS. HERE. MISS REASTER.

HERE. MISS STANTON. HERE. THANK YOU, JULIE. WOULD YOU ALL PLEASE RISE AND JOIN US FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, FOLLOWED BY A MOMENT OF SILENCE? AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

THANK YOU. PLEASE BE SEATED. WOULD YOU ALSO AT THIS TIME TURN OFF ANY ELECTRONIC DEVICES THAT COULD CAUSE A DISTURBANCE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY. OUR FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS.

[IV. Minutes – Consider approval of the minutes of the October 19, 2026, Regular Council Meeting.]

ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONS, CORRECTIONS OR DELETIONS TO THOSE MINUTES? OKAY. HEARING NONE. IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE? SO MOVED. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE.

OPPOSED? OKAY. THE MINUTES OF THE OCTOBER 19TH REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING ARE APPROVED AS WRITTEN.

OKAY. WE HAVE NO PRESCHEDULED BUSINESS THIS EVENING, SO WE'LL MOVE RIGHT INTO OUR OLD BUSINESS.

[V. Old Business]

SO WE'LL START OFF. IS THERE A MOTION TO READ ORDINANCE 24-26 FOR THE SECOND TIME BY TITLE ONLY SO MOVED.

SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? ORDINANCE 24-26, AN ORDINANCE REPEALING ORDINANCE NUMBER 49-1919 AND CHAPTER 169, ENTERTAINMENT ADMISSION FEE OF THE CODIFIED ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF FAIRBORN, OHIO. MICHAEL GEBHART, CITY MANAGER, PRESENTING.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. ORDINANCE 2426 REPEALS THE 2019 ADMISSIONS FEE.

AND SO DECEMBER 2ND, 2019, ORDINANCE 4919 WAS APPROVED.

IT ESTABLISHED CHAPTER 169, WHICH IS AN ENTERTAINMENT ADMISSIONS FEE.

THIS ORDINANCE PROPOSES THAT WE REPEAL THAT AND THE CHAPTER IN ITS ENTIRETY.

BOTTOM LINE ON THIS IS THAT IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WOULD MAKE COMMUNITY PRIORITIES MORE WORKABLE MOVING FORWARD. AND WE VALUE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH PARTNERS WITHIN THE CITY. NOTHING ON THIS ADMISSIONS FEE HAS EVER BEEN COLLECTED, AND SO IT JUST MAKES SENSE TO ELIMINATE IT AND REPEAL IT, SO THAT WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD AS A CITY IN MOTION.

AND SO STAFF IS ASKING AND RECOMMENDS THAT WE REPEAL ORDINANCE 24-26, WHICH REPEALS ORDINANCE 49-19 THAT ESTABLISHED THE ENTERTAINMENT ADMISSIONS FEE WITHIN THE CITY FROM DECEMBER 2019.

AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. BEFORE WE COME TO COUNCIL FOR QUESTION, ORDINANCE 24-26 REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS ORDINANCE, PLEASE COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME.

OKAY. SEEING NO ONE COME FORWARD, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ORDINANCE 24-26, AND WE'LL COME BACK TO COUNCIL FOR QUESTIONS, STARTING WITH COUNCILWOMAN CHESS. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING, THANK YOU.

NO QUESTIONS. THANKS, MIKE. NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MIKE. NO QUESTIONS, MIKE.

THANK YOU. NONE FOR ME, SIR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

OKAY. SINCE THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL, IS THERE A MOTION TO WAIVE THE RULE REQUIRING THAT ORDINANCES BE READ ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, AN ORDINANCE 24-26 BE READ FOR THE THIRD TIME BY TITLE ONLY? SO MOVED. SECOND. JULIE, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

MISS CHESS. YES. MISS REASTER. YES. MR. ALLEN.

YES. MR. DODD. YES. MR. MCCUBBINS. YES. MISS STANTON.

YES. MR. KIRKPATRICK. YES. ORDINANCE 24-26. AN ORDINANCE REPEALING ORDINANCE NUMBER 49-19 AND CHAPTER 169 ENTERTAINMENT ADMISSIONS FEE OF THE CODIFIED ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF FAIRBORN, OHIO.

IS THERE A MOTION NOW TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 24-26?

[00:05:02]

MR. ALLEN. YES. MR. MCCUBBINS. YES. MISS CHESS.

YES. MR. DODD. YES. MISS REASTER. YES. MISS STANTON.

YES. MR. KIRKPATRICK. YES. ORDINANCE 24-26 IS DULY ADOPTED.

THANK YOU. NEXT, IS THERE A MOTION TO READ ORDINANCE 25-26 FOR THE SECOND TIME BY TITLE ONLY.

SO MOVED. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE.

OPPOSED? ORDINANCE 25-26. AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE LEASE OF CITY OWNED PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE REAR OF 2200 COMMERCE CENTER BOULEVARD TO AT&T NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC.

PURSUANT TO THE OPTION AND LEASE AGREEMENT PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED BY RESOLUTION 60-25.

AND I WILL BE PRESENTING THIS ORDINANCE. THANK YOU.

GREAT. JULIE. THANK YOU. OKAY. SO IF I COULD DESCRIBE THIS ORDINANCE IN GENERAL, THIS IS MORE OF A HOUSEKEEPING ORDINANCE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

AT THE TITLE, YOU HEARD ME REFERENCE RESOLUTION 60-25.

AND THIS COUNCIL PASSED RESOLUTION 60-25 ON DECEMBER 1ST OF 2025.

AND IN THAT RESOLUTION. OR NO. YEAH. IT WAS RESOLUTION.

AUTHORIZED THE CITY MANAGER WITH LAW DIRECTOR'S APPROVAL TO EXECUTE THE OPTION AND LEASE AGREEMENT PROPOSED BY AT&T.

AND THE PRIMARY BASIS FOR THAT WAS WE WERE NEGOTIATING WITH AT&T TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION THAT WERE NON-MONETARY, SUCH AS FIRE DEPARTMENT TRAINING FACILITIES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE ARE CONSTRUCTED AT THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.

AND THOSE NEGOTIATIONS WERE EXTENSIVE, AND WE HAD NOT REACHED ANY AGREEMENT, AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY KEPT IT IN THEIR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR 2026. SO WE AGREED TO PASS IT BY RESOLUTION AND THEN CONTINUE OUR NEGOTIATIONS.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE DID. AND SO WE CONTINUE THOSE NEGOTIATIONS.

WE HAD A NUMBER OF ITEMS THAT WE PRESENTED TO AT&T, AND EVENTUALLY ALL OF THOSE WERE REJECTED BECAUSE OF COST.

AND AS A RESULT OF THAT, WE'VE CONFIRMED ALL OF THE ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS OF THE OPTION AND LEASE AGREEMENT.

AND BEFORE WE CAN LEASE PROPERTY TO AT&T, OUR CHARTER REQUIRES IT THAT IT BE APPROVED BY ORDINANCE.

AND SO THAT IS WHY WE'RE COMING BACK TO THIS.

OKAY. SO BEFORE WE COME TO COUNCIL FOR COMMENTS.

I'M SORRY, I STILL HAVE. OH, YOU HAVE MORE TO GO? OKAY AND SO I'VE ALREADY GONE THROUGH THESE THREE POINTS.

AND BASICALLY THIS LEGISLATION CLOSES THAT CHARTER GAP.

IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE THERE, PLEASE, JULIE.

AND WE'LL JUST GO THROUGH SOME OF THE BASIC DETAILS OF THE LEASE.

IT'S AT THE REAR OF FIRE STATION 2. IT'S APPROXIMATELY 10,000FT².

AND THE TENANT IS A SUBSIDIARY OF AT&T. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

NOW HERE'S THE ECONOMICS OF THE LEASE. WE DID OKAY ON THIS.

IT'S $3,500 A MONTH. AND IT'S A 25 YEAR LEASE BASE PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS AND FOUR AUTOMATIC FIVE YEAR EXTENSIONS, UNLESS THE TENANT PROVIDES TERMINATION NOTICE 60 DAYS PRIOR TO THE ANNIVERSARY DATE OF THE END OF THAT CURRENT FIFTH YEAR. AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH FIVE YEAR EXTENSION, THE RENT INCREASE IS 20%.

SO IF YOU DO THE MATH ON THAT OVER THE 25 YEAR LEASE, THE CITY WILL COLLECT $1.56 MILLION.

THERE'S A COUPLE MINOR ADDITIONAL ECONOMICS. THIS IS AN OPTION AND LEASE AGREEMENT.

AND SO THE FIRST OPTION IS FOR A YEAR THEY PAY US $1,000 FOR THE FIRST OPTION.

THAT'S WHERE THEY GET TO DO ALL THEIR DUE DILIGENCE, INSPECT AND SEE WHAT TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE THEY NEED TO PUT IN.

THEY DON'T GET THAT DONE DURING THE FIRST YEAR.

THEY PAY US ANOTHER $1,000. AND IF THEY DON'T EXERCISE THE OPTION WITHIN TWO YEARS, THEN THE LEASE WILL NOT BE EXECUTED.

WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. OKAY. AND I JUST COVERED ALL THOSE IN A NARRATIVE.

OKAY. SOME PUBLIC SAFETY ITEMS. IT'S IN THE LEASE AGREEMENT THAT WARRANTS WON'T INTERFERE WITH EXISTING RADIO OPERATIONS. IF IT DOES, THEY MUST CEASE THE INTERFERENCE WITHIN 24 HOURS, AND THE CITY CAN CONTINUE AND INSTALL ITS OWN RADIO FACILITIES ON THE TOWER.

[00:10:04]

OKAY. AGAIN, WHAT THE ORDINANCE DOES IS AUTHORIZES THE LEASE OF 10,000FT², SUPPLEMENTS RESOLUTION 60-25, AND COMPLIES WITH THE CHARTER AND ITS APPROVAL OF THE FINAL AGREEMENT, WHICH IS EXHIBIT A TO THE LEGISLATION.

IT DOES NOT MODIFY THE PREVIOUS AUTHORIZED MATERIAL TERMS OR SUPERSEDE THE CITY MANAGER'S EXISTING AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.

AND JUST MERELY. AND DOES NOT REQUEST A SECOND SUBSTANTIVE APPROVAL.

SO WE'RE ASKING THAT COUNCIL APPROVE ORDINANCE 25-26.

AND I'M HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY.

BEFORE WE COME TO COUNCIL FOR QUESTIONS, THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION.

ORDINANCE 25-26 REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK TO ORDINANCE 25-26 PLEASE COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME.

SEEING NO ONE COME FORWARD, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND COME BACK TO COUNCIL FOR QUESTIONS, STARTING WITH COUNCILMAN DODD. NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MIKE.

SURE THING. MIKE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READ AHEAD.

I APPRECIATE IT. NO QUESTIONS. ONE QUESTION. JULIE, CAN YOU GO BACK LIKE THREE SLIDES? RIGHT HERE. UNDER THE EXISTING RADIO OPERATIONS PROTECTION, THEIR ACCESS MUST NOT INTERFERE WITH PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS AND THAT THEY'RE GIVEN 24 HOURS. WOULD THAT PUT. BECAUSE OF THE FIRE STATION BEING THERE, WOULD THAT PUT ANY OF OUR CITIZENS AT RISK FOR NOT HAVING RADIO OPERATIONS THERE FOR 24 HOURS? THAT IS A QUESTION FOR THE FIRE CHIEF, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND GET A RESPONSE BACK TO YOU.

PLEASE DO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCILWOMAN CHESS.

I HAVE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. SO THANK YOU FOR THE DETAILED READ AHEAD.

I WAS LOOKING AT THE MAP AND IT APPEARS THAT THEY WOULD USE OUR LOT AND DRIVEWAY AS EGRESS TO THE SITE, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. SO IN OUR CONTRACT WITH THEM, IS THERE ANY PROVISIONS REGARDING ANY DAMAGE FROM THEIR OVERSIZE VEHICLES, THINGS LIKE THAT? ABSOLUTELY. THEY MUST RETURN IT TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION IF THEY DO.

OKAY. AND IT'S AT THEIR EXPENSE OF COURSE. WONDERFUL.

AND THEN THE ADDITIONAL EGRESS ON THERE IS THAT.

IS THAT GOING TO CONTINUE INTO PAVEMENT OR WILL THEY USE GRAVEL? DO WE KNOW. DOES IT MATTER? WE DON'T KNOW. THEY WILL COME BACK TO US BEFORE.

PLANNING COMMISSION WITH THEIR DEVELOPMENT PLANS.

SO WE WILL KNOW WHAT THAT MATERIAL IS AT THAT TIME.

SO WE DO GET TO CONTROL THAT INCLUDING LANDSCAPING AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE AS WELL.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. NO QUESTIONS.

THANKS. OKAY. I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. THANKS FOR THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED.

OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION NOW TO WAIVE THE RULE REQUIRING THAT ORDINANCES BE READ ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS? AN ORDINANCE 25-26 BE READ FOR THE THIRD TIME BY TITLE ONLY? SO MOVED. SECOND. JULIE, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

THANK YOU FOR THE DOCUMENTS, THOUGH. NO QUESTIONS.

I THINK SOMETIMES WHEN CITIZENS HEAR DECLARING AN EMERGENCY THAT IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST KIND OF THE LANGUAGE STUFF, BUT THIS IS KIND OF NORMAL BUSINESS OF APPROPRIATING THE MONEY PROPERLY.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HAVE NO QUESTIONS, KRISTINA, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT, I'M NOT SURE IF MANY OF THE CITIZENS SEE THE CORRELATION UP THERE, THAT THE CITY IS ALSO EXPERIENCING AN INCREASE IN COST FOR ELECTRICITY, JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

WE WENT THROUGH THIS SEVERAL YEARS AGO WITH THE GAS.

SO IT'S JUST THAT TIME AND THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS.

THANK YOU, KRISTINA. YEAH, THAT WAS THE COMMENT I WAS GOING TO MAKE ABOUT THE ELECTRICITY GOING UP.

BUT THAT'S ACROSS THE BOARD FOR EVERYBODY. SO AGAIN, THANKS FOR ALL THE WORK THAT GOES INTO PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE DON'T LIKE TO DO, BUT WE UNDERSTAND WE HAVE TO DO IT.

[VII. Citizens Comments]

I GUESS I'M DOING MY FIVE MINUTES. CHRIS LONGO ADDRESS IS 1912 WILDFLOWER ROAD, FAIRBORN, OHIO, AND I RECENTLY MOVED IN HERE AND IT'S HILLSIDE MEADOWS AND I WANT TO CALL IT ROCKSIDE MEADOWS.

BUT THE CITY, THROUGH THE PLANNING AND EVERYTHING, HAD REQUIREMENTS FOR THE LOTS BY SIZE, BY BEING ABLE TO ACTUALLY PUT GRASS SEED ON THEM AND NOT HAVE CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS.

AND IT SAID TO MINIMIZE SOIL DESTRUCTION AND TREES, THEY'VE RIPPED ALL THE TREES OUT.

THEY RIPPED ALL THE TOPSOIL OUT. AND I'M LEFT WITH HUGE ROCKS THAT WEIGH UP TO 100 POUNDS.

I'VE HAD TWO BEFORES. AND I'VE MOVED MOST OF THESE MYSELF.

RYAN HOLMES DOESN'T LIKE ME. THEY'RE STARTING TO PUT DOWN SOIL.

NOT SOIL, BUT SOD. BUT THERE'S A REQUIREMENT FOR THE CITY TO ACTUALLY INSPECT THIS AND APPROVE THE LOT.

AND I'VE CALLED THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. THEY DON'T RESPOND.

I'VE CALLED THEIR INSPECTION DEPARTMENT AND THEY'VE RESPONDED, BUT I'VE INVITED THEM OUT AND THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING.

[00:25:06]

BUT I'M AN EX POWERLIFTER, AND I DON'T THINK EVERYBODY CAN DO THIS.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL. BUT. AND I GOT COPIES. IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE PICTURES AND EVERYTHING.

DO I JUST. I'LL GET WITH YOU AND GET CONTACT INFORMATION AND I'LL LOOK INTO THIS, BUT I'VE TRIED.

WE'LL BE IN COMMUNICATION WITH YOU, AND I CAN ESCALATE THIS TO THE STATE LEVEL TOO, IF I HAVE TO.

OKAY. WELL, WE WILL WE WILL WORK WITH YOU ON THIS.

AND FOR ME, MY YARD IS PROBABLY PRETTY GOOD NOW, BUT MY NEIGHBORS ARE HORRIBLE AND THEY ARE PUTTING DEVELOPMENT IS THIS AGAIN, IT'S HILLSIDE MEADOWS, HILLSIDE MEADOWS. AND MY SARCASTIC THING IS ROCKSIDE MEADOWS.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION.

ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK TO COUNCIL, PLEASE COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME.

OKAY. SEEING NO ONE ELSE COME FORWARD, WE WILL CLOSE CITIZENS COMMENTS AND COME BACK TO CITY MANAGER COMMENTS.

[VIII. City Manager Comments]

TEN YEARS. CONNOR MULCAHY IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND MELISSA LITTRELL IN OUR MUNICIPAL COURT. AND WITH FIVE YEARS.

RYAN FIELD AND THE WATER AND SEWER DIVISION. AND SO THANK YOU TO ALL OF THEM FOR THEIR SERVICE TO THE CITY.

WE ALSO HAD A SWEARING IN THIS MORNING FOR NEW THREE NEW POLICE OFFICERS, CHLOE ABRAMS, WHO WAS ONE OF OUR RECRUITS, AND THEN FREDERICK NEWCOMB AND JARED O'LEARY WERE SWORN IN THIS MORNING TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

SO WELCOME TO THEM AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM FOR BEING NEW OFFICERS.

THE ONLY OTHER THING I WANTED TO COVER THIS EVENING IS RESIDENTIAL AGGREGATION INFORMATION.

SO WE WORK WITH THE MIAMI VALLEY COMMUNICATION COUNCIL, MVCC, WHO WORKS WITH 19 OTHER COMMUNITIES TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR ENERGY COSTS. THIS PARTICULAR CYCLE WILL BE JANUARY 1ST, 2027 THROUGH DECEMBER 31ST, 2029, SO RESIDENTS AND SMALL BUSINESSES SHOULD BE GETTING A LETTER FROM MVCC EITHER LAST WEEK OR EARLY THIS WEEK. THE COST PER KILOWATT HOUR IS $11.53 PER KILOWATT HOUR.

NOW THAT'S UP FROM JUST OVER THE $0.09 THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

THIS IS A THREE YEAR CONTRACT. AND BASED ON THE POTENTIAL FOR AES RAISING RATES NEXT SUMMER, THIS WILL BE SEEN AS A MUCH MORE COMPETITIVE RATE IN THE COMING MONTHS.

AND SO AGAIN, IT'S $11.53 PER KILOWATT HOUR. REGARDLESS OF WHO YOUR CURRENT ENERGY PROVIDER IS, EITHER AES OR OHIO EDISON, THIS RATE IS GOOD FOR THEM.

YOU'LL STILL RECEIVE YOUR SUPPLIER BILL THROUGH AES OR OHIO EDISON, BUT DYNEGY WILL ACTUALLY BE THE ENERGY PROVIDER ON YOUR BILL. THE BIG THING I WANT TO NOTE IS IT'S AUTOMATIC ENROLLMENT.

SO IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO WITH DYNEGY, YOU HAVE TO OPT OUT.

AND SO MULTIPLE WAYS TO OPT OUT IN YOUR MAILING.

THERE'S A CARD YOU CAN MAIL BACK TO THEM OR YOU CAN DO SO ONLINE.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THE NUMBER BELOW ON THE SCREEN (888) 682-2170.

WE'LL GET YOU DIRECTLY TO DYNEGY SO THEY CAN ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT RESIDENTS, WE'VE PUT THIS OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS OF LAST FRIDAY, AND IT'S ALSO ON THE WEBSITE UNDER ENERGY AGGREGATION.

THE SAME INFORMATION IS THERE FOR RESIDENTS, BUT YOU NEED TO OPT OUT BEFORE DECEMBER 1ST.

AGAIN, DECEMBER 1ST, 2026 IF YOU CHOOSE TO OPT OUT.

SO CHECK YOUR MAIL. IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY RECEIVED THIS, THE ENVELOPE SHOULD SAY MVCC ON IT.

MIAMI VALLEY COMMUNICATION COUNCIL. AND IT SHOULD BE YOUR INDIVIDUAL LETTER AND THEN THE INFORMATION SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO OPT OUT.

BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I WENT OVER THAT IN COUNCIL.

IT'S ON SOCIAL MEDIA, IT'S ON THE WEBSITE. BUT PEOPLE SHOULD LOOK FOR THAT.

AND IF THEY CHOOSE TO OPT OUT, THEY NEED TO DO THAT.

COULD YOU REPEAT THAT OPT OUT DATE? DECEMBER 1ST, 2026.

[00:30:04]

UNLESS COUNCIL HAS QUESTIONS FOR ME. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CITY MANAGER? OKAY, WE'LL COME BACK TO COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR COMMENTS STARTING WITH COUNCILWOMAN CHESS.

[IX. Council Comments]

I KNOW THIS MONTH HAS A LOT TO DO WITH OUR HEALTH AWARENESS.

I MEAN, YOU GOT DIABETES. YOU GOT ALL THESE DIFFERENT TYPES OF THINGS THAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR HEALTH OUT HERE.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I NOTICED OVER THIS PAST MONTH IS, PEOPLE ARE COMMITTING SUICIDE.

AND I KNOW IT'S NOT SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH.

HOWEVER, IT'S REALLY PREVALENT IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR SCHOOLS.

YOU KNOW, WITH OUR YOUTH. MORE AND MORE YOUTH ARE COMMITTING SUICIDE OR ATTEMPTING TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

AND SO I'M REALLY HOPING THAT YOU ALL WOULD KIND OF BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS WITH OUR YOUTH, IF THEY'RE BEING BULLIED AT SCHOOL, WHETHER IT'S ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE SCHOOL OR HIGH SCHOOL, DOESN'T MATTER. YOU KNOW, IN OUR HIGHER ED AREAS, WE HAD A SITUATION WHERE WE HAD A YOUNG LADY WHO TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

AND THANK GOD SOMEBODY WAS THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE WAS OKAY.

WE ARE APPROACHING THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS, CHRISTMAS.

THIS IS A BIG TIME WHERE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY COMMITTING SUICIDE BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE.

THEY FEEL ALONE. THEY FEEL WORTHLESS. PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF BULLYING AND THINGS LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT DOES REALLY HURT EVERYONE INVOLVED. NOT JUST OUR YOUTH, BUT THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR FRIENDS, EVERYONE.

IT'S TOO MUCH. IF THERE'S A PROBLEM, ALWAYS TRY TO DISCUSS IT WITH PEOPLE FIRST BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO BULLY THEM.

YOU KNOW, BULLYING IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. IT SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE OVER A CERTAIN AGE, YOU KNOW YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T BE BULLYING AT ALL.

AND SO REALLY. IF I HAD NOT SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE SO REALLY PASSIONATE AT THIS MOMENT RIGHT NOW.

BUT I'VE SEEN SO MUCH OF IT HERE LATELY TO WHERE I'M JUST KIND OF JUST SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED OF WATCHING PEOPLE BULLY PEOPLE.

AND IT'S REALLY HORRIBLE. AND PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU ARE, I CALL IT WAY GROWN.

AND I MEAN BY WAY GROWN, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE, YOU KNOW, 25 AND ABOVE.

IF YOUR CHILDREN ARE WATCHING YOU BULLY OTHER PEOPLE, WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GOING TO DO? THE SAME THING.

AND IT JUST TRICKLES DOWN. AND WE'RE HAVING TOO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR SCHOOLS AND IN COLLEGE, GOING TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO COMMIT SUICIDE AND TAKE THEIR LIFE AWAY.

SO, PLEASE EDUCATE PEOPLE IN YOUR FAMILY AND EVERYWHERE ABOUT BULLYING IN SCHOOL BECAUSE IT DOES HURT. OKAY? SO THAT'S ALL I WANT TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

BUT I REALLY DO THANK GOD THAT YOU ALL ARE HERE.

I'M HOPING EVERYONE HAD A WONDERFUL WEEKEND. HALLOWEEN WAS OUT.

I CALL THEM HALLOWEEN COSTUMES. YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN SO MANY COSTUMES THAT ARE LIKE, MAN, WHO THOUGHT OF THAT? AND ALL TRICK OR TREATERS. HOPEFULLY THEY WERE SAFE OVER THE WEEKEND.

A LOT CAME THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY. WE HAD A LOT OF TRUNK OR TREATS AROUND TOWN.

I'VE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING GOING WRONG OR ANYTHING, SO IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING WENT WELL.

BUT ANYWAY, HOPE YOU EVER HAVE A HAPPY, HAPPY EVENING AND ENJOY YOURSELF TONIGHT.

BOY. ALL RIGHT. AS ALWAYS, WANT TO THANK OUR MILESTONE RECIPIENTS, WHETHER IT'S ONE YEAR, 25 YEARS OR MORE. THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING THE CITY OF FAIRBORN TO SERVE OUR CITIZENS.

I TOO WAS PRESENT FOR THE SWEARING IN OF OUR THREE NEW OFFICERS THIS MORNING, SO I WANT TO EXTEND A WELCOME TO THEM.

VETERANS DAY IS COMING UP. 1111 FAIRBORN UNITED METHODIST CHURCH ON BROAD STREET IS HAVING A SERVICE AT 11 A.M.

IF YOU HAVE TIME AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND.

ALL ARE WELCOME AND THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR YOU THIS WEEK.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. HEY, THANKS FOR COMING TONIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING YOUR ISSUE. AND I HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE ADDRESSED.

AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE TO POINT OUT ONE THING RELATED TO THE AGGREGATION IS THAT THERE'S ALSO 100% RENEWABLE OPTION AND THE PRICE IS NOT VERY MUCH MORE THAT THE STANDARD OPTION IS 1150 $0.03 AND THE 100% RENEWABLE IS $11.73.

[00:35:07]

WE APPRECIATE YOU. AND I GUESS I'LL JUST MENTION THAT BECAUSE DAN REMINDED ME THAT THIS PAST WEEK THERE WAS A DEDICATION OF A HABITAT HOME HERE IN FAIRBORN THAT WAS, IT WAS COMPLETED.

SO THERE WAS A DEDICATION CEREMONY WHERE THEY HAND OVER THE KEYS.

AND A LOT OF THE VOLUNTEERS CAME OUT. I WAS, I WAS A FIRST TIME WOMEN'S BUILD TEAM CAPTAIN, SO THEY ASKED ME TO SPEAK. AND I DID, AND I'M VERY OFF THE CUFF AND I PUT LIKE SOME THREE BULLET POINTS ONTO A POST-IT NOTE BEFORE I GOT THERE.

SO IF I DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB REFERENCING THE CITY AND APOLOGIES TO ANYONE.

I WAS JUST REALLY TALKING ABOUT THE PROCESS ITSELF WHEN I WAS UP THERE AND HOW EXCITING IT WAS FOR ME AS A FIRST TIME PERSON DOING THAT.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TONIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

COUNCILMAN DONE. THANK YOU. ALSO THANKS. THE MILESTONE INDIVIDUALS.

THE ONLY THING I, I WAS ALSO AT THE WOMEN BUILD DEDICATION.

I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED. THAT WAS A VERY INTERESTING CEREMONY AND DEDICATION.

AND IT WAS I WAS GLAD I ATTENDED. IT WAS, I LEARNED A LOT AND SAW A LOT.

IT WAS GOOD. HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO SOME MORE OF THOSE IN THE CITY.

TOMORROW IS ELECTION DAY. IT IS THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT OF EVERY CITIZEN IN THE UNITED STATES.

AND I HOPE IF YOU HAVEN'T VOTED YET EARLY, PLEASE TAKE THE TIME AND DO IT TOMORROW BECAUSE YOUR VOICE DOES COUNT. EVERYBODY'S VOICE COUNTS. SO.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. YEAH. GOOD. ALL RIGHT.

BEAUTIFUL. THANKS, EVERYBODY, FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT.

I, I'M NOT GOING TO DOUBLE TAP ON ON WHAT MY COLLEAGUES SHARED.

I DO AGREE WITH WITH THEIR VIEWS AND OPINIONS ON, ON A LOT OF THINGS.

I DO WANT TO MENTION THAT ON THE 11TH, OF COURSE, IS, IS VETERANS DAY AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO TO RECOGNIZE AND CELEBRATE THE VETERANS, THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED IN OUR, IN OUR MILITARY. I THINK THIS IS THE ONE OPPORTUNITY.

SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES PEOPLE GET THE MEMORIAL DAY AND VETERANS DAY KIND OF KIND OF MIXED UP.

MEMORIAL DAY REMEMBERING THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED AND IN VETERANS DAY, REMEMBERING THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED.

SO I ASK THAT HUG A VETERAN WHEN YOU SEE ONE.

AND THEN THERE IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO HELP A VETERAN.

MARILYN MCCAULEY CAME UP ABOUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND SHE TALKED ABOUT OPERATION FAIRBORN CARES AND THE AND WHAT THEY, WHAT THAT ORGANIZATION DOES TO SUPPORT VETERANS PARTICULARLY THE POST 911 VETERANS WHO, WHO FALLEN SHORT AND HAVE A NEED HERE IN GREEN COUNTY.

SO WE'VE GOT ONE MORE OPPORTUNITY AND THAT'LL BE THIS SUNDAY AT ON THE 8TH OF NOVEMBER.

THEY WILL HAVE A A SMALL FUNDRAISER AT THE WANDERING GRIFFIN BETWEEN THE HOURS OF SEVEN? NO. EXCUSE ME, NOON AND 7 P.M. SO PART OF THE PROCEEDS OF WHATEVER YOU PURCHASE THERE AT THE WANDERING GRIFFIN WOULD GO BACK TO OPERATION FAIRBORN CARES. AND AGAIN, THAT THAT ORGANIZATION SUPPORTS VETERANS ACROSS GREENE COUNTY. SO. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

AND CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE MILESTONE RECIPIENTS.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DEPUTY MAYOR.

YES. THANKS, CLINT. I AGREE, I'M NOT GOING TO BELABOR WHAT MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID, BUT I DO AGREE WITH THEM.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE MILESTONE WINNERS AS WELL.

EXCUSE ME. MILESTONE RECIPIENTS AS WELL. THEY'RE ALL WINNERS.

SINCE CLINT MENTIONED OPERATION FAIRBORN CARES, IT'S NOVEMBER 2ND AND EVERY CHRISTMAS FORMER COUNCILWOMAN MARILYN MACAULAY HOSTS THE

[00:40:03]

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN HELPING TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT OR DONATE, PLEASE CONTACT MISS MACAULAY OR YOU CAN CONTACT ONE OF US AND WE'LL PUT YOU IN CONTACT WITH MISS MACAULAY. YES, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY FELLOW VETS IN THE CITY OF FAIRBORN FOR ALL THAT THEY'VE DONE SERVING OUR NATION AND THOSE THAT CONTINUE TO SERVE, AS WELL AS MY MY COLLEAGUES HERE UP ON THE DAIS THAT HAVE SERVED AS WELL.

I APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE. FOR THE ELECTRIC AGGREGATION, I WILL SAY YOU DID GET THE LETTER TO OPT OUT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHOOSE THIS PARTICULAR AGGREGATION JUST BECAUSE YOU LIVE IN A CITY, BUT MAKE SURE YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH.

MIAMI VALLEY COMMUNICATION COUNCIL HAS DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH THIS, RESEARCH ON THIS AND NEGOTIATING ON BEHALF OF 20 COMMUNITIES.

AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET A REALLY GOOD RATE.

IT'S GOING TO GO UP FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS.

BUT RIGHT NOW THEY'RE ANTICIPATING IN JANUARY 2027 THAT THOSE RATES WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE ABOVE THE 11.53%.

AND AS OF RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE SLATED FOR A 28 AND A 29 INCREASE, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE LOCKED IN AT 11.5.

SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD DEAL. BUT BE SURE TO DO YOUR RESEARCH AND MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE OPTION THAT'S BEST FOR YOU.

AND I'LL LEAVE IT WITH THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

OKAY. A FEW COMMENTS. AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR MILESTONE WINNERS.

IT'S REALLY NICE THAT THEY CHOOSE TO STAY WITH THE CITY OF FAIRBORN.

I THINK IT'S A WISE CHOICE. SO THANKS FOR THAT.

I WANT TO TAG ON TO WHAT TANA STANTON SAID ABOUT THE HABITAT.

THIS WAS A WOMAN BUILT HOUSE, WHICH IS REALLY SPECIAL BECAUSE THERE WERE A NUMBER OF WOMEN'S GROUPS THAT WERE THERE AT THE DEDICATION.

A BUNCH OF WRIGHT STATE STUDENTS FROM, I THINK THEY WERE VOLLEYBALL AND BASKETBALL PLAYERS AND OTHER WRIGHT STATE STUDENTS.

THERE WAS A SORORITY GROUP THAT WAS THERE THAT PLAYED A BIG PART IN IT.

BUT HABITAT IS A WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION, AND WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE THAT DAVE MAUCK AND THE REST OF HIS GROUP HAVE BEEN A PART OF THAT.

WE'VE DONE A NUMBER OF HABITAT HOUSES IN THE FAIRBORN COMMUNITY, SO KUDOS TO THEM.

A VERY NICE FAMILY. A LADY WITH HER FOUR CHILDREN NOW HAVE A HOME TO LIVE IN, AND THEIR KIDS HAVE A BED TO SLEEP IN, SO IT'S REALLY SPECIAL WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAS HAPPENED IN OUR COMMUNITY.

SEVERAL THINGS HAVE BEEN SAID ABOUT THIS AS VETERANS DAY, NOVEMBER 11TH, DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT ARE GOING ON.

I WANT TO ADD ONE MORE ON NOVEMBER THE 13TH. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE NOT AWARE, THE DAYTON AREA HAS HAD SINCE THE CIVIL WAR, 41 MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENTS FROM THE DAYTON REGION, INCLUDING SOME OF THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES.

WELL, THERE'S BEEN A COMMITTEE THAT'S BEEN TOGETHER FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS WORKING ON A MEMORIAL FOR THOSE MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENTS.

THE MEMORIAL MOST OF IT WAS INSTALLED ABOUT A WEEK AGO AT THE CORNER OF EDWIN C MOSES IN THIRD STREET.

AND WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE EDWIN C MOSES OF FAME FOR BEING A TRACK STAR WAS ACTUALLY THERE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE MAIN PARTS OF THE MEMORIAL.

BUT THE DEDICATION OF THE MEMORIAL WILL BE NOVEMBER 13TH AT 2 P.M., AND THE PUBLIC IS WELCOME FOR THAT.

AND THAT'S IN DOWNTOWN DAYTON AT THE CORNER OF EDWIN C MOSES AND THIRD STREET.

BUT IT'S A BEAUTIFUL MEMORIAL. THE SAME COMPANY THAT BUILT OUR FAIRBORN MILITARY VETERANS MEMORIAL MADE THIS MEMORIAL FOR THE MEDAL OF HONOR.

SO IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO BE OUT THERE ON THE 13TH.

IT'LL BE A REALLY SPECIAL OCCASION FOR THAT. ANOTHER EVENT ON NOVEMBER THE 14TH AT THE MIAMI VALLEY MILITARY HISTORY MUSEUM.

THEIR ANNUAL MONTHLY SPEAKER. THE SPEAKER THIS MONTH WILL BE CASSIE BARLOW, THE FORMER WRIGHT-PATT AIR 88TH AIR BASE WING COMMANDER. AND SHE WILL BE SPEAKING ABOUT JUST VETERANS IN GENERAL AND HOW WE CAN HONOR VETERANS.

IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD COLONEL BARLOW SPEAK, SHE'S A WONDERFUL SPEAKER.

AND AGAIN, THAT'LL BE NOVEMBER 14TH AT 2 P.M.

THE CHAMBER THANKSGIVING BREAKFAST WILL BE 25TH NOVEMBER THIS MONTH.

YES, THE CHAMBER THANKSGIVING PRACTICE IS COMING UP THIS MONTH.

THAT'LL BE AT THE SENIOR CENTER AT 7 A.M. IT STARTS ON THE 25TH.

ONE MORE THING THIS MONTH. THIS IS A BUSY MONTH FOR ALL KINDS OF EVENTS.

THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY COMMITTEE IS PUTTING TOGETHER A TIME CAPSULE THAT WILL BE BURIED A LITTLE BIT LATER THIS MONTH.

[00:45:01]

IF YOU THINK THERE IS SOMETHING YOU OR YOUR ORGANIZATION WOULD LIKE TO PUT IN THAT TIME CAPSULE, IT'S ROUGHLY A ONE FOOT BY ONE FOOT SQUARE, EIGHT INCHES TALL BOX THAT WILL BE BURIED IN FAIRBORN MEMORIAL PARK WITH THE INTENT THAT IN 50 YEARS, FOR THOSE OF US STILL AROUND THE TIME CAPSULE WILL BE DUG UP.

SO IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THAT TIME CAPSULE, PLEASE GET THOSE ITEMS TO ELLEN SLOAN AT THE FAIRBORN SENIOR CENTER.

PARDON? I WON'T BE HERE. WELL, YOU NEVER KNOW.

ADVANCES IN LIFE EXPECTANCY. WHO KNOWS WHO MIGHT BE HERE? SO ANYWAY, THAT 250TH ANNIVERSARY TIME CAPSULE IS GOING TO BE FINALIZED ON ALSO NOVEMBER 11TH.

SO IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THAT, MAKE SURE YOU GET IT TO ELLEN AT THE SENIOR CENTER BEFORE NOVEMBER 11TH.

AND I WANT TO TAG ON MY LAST COMMENT IS ABOUT VOTING.

ALSO, WE ARE ONE OF THE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD THAT ALLOW OUR CITIZENS TO CHOOSE WHO REPRESENT US.

WE ACTUALLY GET TO VOTE AND DECIDE WHO REPRESENT US.

NOT EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS THAT OPPORTUNITY.

SO PLEASE EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE THAT CHOICE AND GET OUT AND VOTE.

AND THE LAST THING IS JUST UPCOMING EVENTS. COUNCIL WORK SESSION, COUNCIL MEETING, NOVEMBER 16TH, AND THEN ANOTHER COUNCIL WORK SESSION AND MEETING ON DECEMBER 7TH OF THIS YEAR.

SO I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING.

AND AT THIS TIME, IF THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL BUSINESS, IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? SO MOVED. SECOND. JULIE, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

MISS REASTER. YES. MR. MCCUBBINS. YES. MR. ALLEN.

YES. MISS CHESS. YES. MR. DODD. YES. MISS STANTON.

YES. MR. KIRKPATRICK. YES. THE COUNCIL MEETING FOR SECOND NOVEMBER 26TH IS HEREBY ADJOURNED. THANK YOU.

PLEASE TO TO HELP TEAMS. AND WE GOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SOME FUN.

AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME FUN. I MEAN, I CAN'T THINK OF I'VE SEEN BETTER LEGS AND BIRDS NESTS.

WHEN YOU START PUTTING ON PUTTING ON THOSE, THOSE HEELS.

BUT BUT NONETHELESS, IT'S A FUN TIME AND IT'S ONLY A CAPTURED PERIOD OF TIME FROM 12:00.

BY 1230, WE'RE ALL PACKED UP AND READY TO GO.

SO I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE WHO HERE AND ANYONE WHO'S LISTENING, IF YOU CAN'T PARTICIPATE DONATE.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. DEPUTY MAYOR. WELL, THAT'S GOING TO BE A KIND OF HARD ONE TO FOLLOW THERE WITH CLINT AND HIS SERVICE TO COUNTRY. THAT'S REALLY GOOD. THANK YOU FOR THAT, CLINT.

THANK YOU, SIR. VERY TOUCHING. MY CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE MILESTONE RECIPIENTS AS WELL.

AND THE TWO BIG MESSAGES I WANT TO GIVE EVERYBODY TONIGHT IS JUST A REMINDER FLU SEASON IS COMING UP.

SO THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO DURING FLU SEASON IS WASH YOUR HANDS A LOT.

SO PLEASE DO THAT IF YOU ARE SO INCLINED TO GET VACCINATED, PLEASE DO THAT.

AS A HEALTH CARE WORKER, I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE IT.

BUT I UNDERSTAND IF YOU DON'T WANT. BUT ANOTHER BIG ONE AND A LOT OF THING PEOPLE OFTEN FORGET IS AS WE TRANSITION FROM SUMMER INTO FALL, A LOT OF US HAVE GAS HEAT IN OUR HOUSES. SO MAKE SURE YOU'RE GETTING YOUR FURNACES INSPECTED AND CLEANED AND ALL THAT OTHER GOOD JAZZ.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, MAKE SURE YOU GOT A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN YOUR HOUSE AND THE BATTERIES ARE GOOD IN IT. IF NOT, GET WITH OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. THEY CAN HELP YOU OUT.

THEY'LL PROVIDE CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS, AND THEY'LL EVEN COME AND INSTALL THEM FOR YOU IF YOU NEED. NEED BE.

SO PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO DO THOSE TWO THINGS THIS FALL.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER. OKAY. JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS TO GO OVER REAL QUICK.

I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO CAME FORWARD TO SPEAK.

I KNOW THE HOUSE ON XENIA DRIVE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE.

THE CITY HAS BEEN LOOKING AT THAT AND FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, CAN'T GO INTO DETAIL.

BUT WE ARE WELL AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON AT THAT HOUSE AND EFFORTS ARE BEING MADE TO ADDRESS THAT.

AGAIN, MILESTONE WINNERS. WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THAT THIS MORNING.

WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY AT THE SENIOR CENTER. WE CALL IT BREAKFAST WITH THE MAYOR.

AND WE HAD TWO PRESENTATIONS. AND I'M GOING TO ASK MIKE, WOULD YOU MIND 30S ON FIVE RIVERS AND THE YMCA? THIS MORNING AT BREAKFAST WITH THE MAYOR, WE ASK THAT THE YMCA AND FIVE RIVERS SPEAK ON THE POTENTIAL PROJECT AT CENTRAL PARK IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA WHERE THE YMCA IS LOCATED. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT FIVE RIVERS HEALTH IS IF YOU GOOGLE THAT

[00:50:04]

I WAS UNAWARE UNTIL SUPERINTENDENT GEBHART HAD MENTIONED TO ME THAT THERE'S NOT A PEDIATRICIAN PRACTICING IN THE CITY OF FAIRBORN.

AND IT WAS A HUGE CONCERN. FIVE RIVERS IS ONE AVENUE THAT WOULD BRING A PEDIATRICIAN TO TOWN.

AND SO FIVE RIVERS WAS MADE, WE WERE MADE AWARE OF THEM THROUGH THE YMCA.

AND SO WE HOPE THAT THERE'S A TWO PHASE PROJECT THAT OCCURS AT CENTRAL PARK.

OF COURSE, THE SPLASH PAD AND THE PLAYGROUND WOULD REMAIN THE BANDSTAND OR THE COVERED CANOPY BUILDING THERE WOULD, WOULD REMAIN ALSO, BUT WE WOULD PLACE A NEW OR THEY WOULD FIVE RIVERS WOULD PROBABLY BE PHASE ONE AND BUILD THEIR 20,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING ON THE CAMPUS THERE.

AND THEN THERE WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL CAMPAIGN THAT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE FOR THE YMCA TO HAVE A NEW BUILDING ON SITE.

AND THEN ULTIMATELY, IF ALL THINGS GO WELL, THEN THEN THE CURRENT YMCA BUILDING WOULD BE REMOVED AND THAT WOULD TURN INTO GREEN SPACE FOR ACTIVITIES FOR RELATED TO THE YMCA. BUT THERE'LL BE MORE INFORMATION TO COME.

BUT THEY BOTH GROUPS PRESENTED A COUNCIL AT WORK SESSION IN JULY.

AND THEN AT BREAKFAST WITH THE MAYOR, WE ASKED THEM TO COME IN AND TALK ABOUT THAT. PLEASE, THOUGH, IF YOU GET A CHANCE GOOGLE FIVE RIVERS HEALTH THEIR EDGEMONT FACILITY IN DAYTON IS FANTASTIC.

THEY COVER THE GAMUT OF, FAMILY MEDICINE, OB GYN, PEDIATRICS.

SOME OF THEIR LOCATIONS ACROSS THE MIAMI VALLEY HAVE DENTAL VISION.

IT WOULD BE PHENOMENAL. THERE IS A NEW FACILITY FOR FIVE RIVERS IN XENIA.

THERE USED TO BE TWO SEPARATE FACILITIES. THEY COMBINED THEM INTO ONE UTILIZING A FORMER DRUGSTORE, AND NOW THEIR BOARD HAS SAID THEY WANT TO COME TO FAIRBORN.

AND SO WE'RE THRILLED. BUT THERE'LL BE MORE INFORMATION TO COME IN THE FUTURE.

THANKS FOR COVERING THAT. THAT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT OUR CITIZENS KNOW THAT WE ARE LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR NEEDS IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS, IN THIS CASE, HEALTH CARE AND YMCA TYPE SERVICES.

BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A PROCESS THAT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME.

AS A CITY MANAGER SAID THERE WILL BE SOME FUNDRAISING INVOLVED, BUT WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE FIVE RIVERS FACILITY, IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SEE ONE, AND SEVERAL OF US HERE ON COUNCIL HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TOUR THE FACILITY IN DAYTON.

VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE WHAT THEY BRING TO A COMMUNITY, AND WE THINK THIS WOULD BE A HUGE PLUS FOR FAIRBORN IF WE CAN GET BOTH OF BOTH FIVE RIVERS AND THE NEW YMCA. SO JUST BE AWARE THAT THAT'S THAT'S ON THE TABLE AND WE'LL BE TALKING MORE AND MORE ABOUT IT.

LOOKING FOR SPONSORSHIPS AND ASSISTANCE WITH THAT.

OKAY. IT'S ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED ABOUT THE NINE OVER 11 CEREMONY.

THIS IS THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF NINE OVER 11.

AND I KNOW AS A MILITARY PERSON, I REMEMBER EXACTLY WHERE I WAS WHEN WE SAW THOSE PLANES CRASHING INTO THE TRADE CENTER.

AND I REMEMBER AS A MILITARY PERSON I WAS IN A BRIEFING AND OUR COMMANDER SAID TO US, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'RE GOING TO WAR. AND A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, I FOUND MYSELF IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY DOING EXACTLY THAT.

LET'S NOT FORGET WHAT 9/11. EXCUSE ME. IS ALL ABOUT.

25 YEARS AGO. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS JUST YESTERDAY.

BUT IF YOU CAN BE AT THE CEREMONY AT CALAMITY VALE, IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY SPECIAL CEREMONY.

FAIRBORN HAS ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LIKE TO GET OUT THERE AND ENJOY THE HEAVY METAL BANDS, HERE'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY. WE HAD BLUEGRASS AND BREW A MONTH OR SO AGO.

SO HERE'S SOME OTHER STUFF. THE MARATHON'S BEEN TALKED ABOUT.

I REALLY WANT TO REITERATE, PLEASE TRY TO GET OUT THERE FOR THE FLY ZONE TO CHEER ON THOSE PEOPLE.

HAVE YOUR SIGNS. I KNOW TERRY LYNN FROM HER ART STUDIO WILL HAVE A BOOTH OUT THERE WHERE KIDS CAN MAKE SIGNS TO CHEER PEOPLE ON.

AND AGAIN, THE RUNNERS ALWAYS TELL US THEIR FAVORITE PART OF THE WHOLE ROUTE IS GOING THROUGH FAIRBORN.

SO LET'S BE OUT THERE. HEELS FOR HEROES. I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THAT FROM THE GET GO WITH MARILYN AND A BUNCH OF OTHER PEOPLE.

THAT IS TRULY A REMARKABLE PROGRAM THAT MARILYN STARTED.

IT DOES A LOT OF GOOD FOR OUR VETERANS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD REALLY BE STRUGGLING.

LIKE SHE SAID, A KROGER CARD FOR SOME FOOD. A CAR REPAIR THAT THEY OTHERWISE COULDN'T MAKE.

IT'S THOSE LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT THAT PROGRAM REALLY HELPS TO ADDRESS.

SO WHETHER YOU'RE A RUNNER, A WATCHER, A SPONSOR, PLEASE CONSIDER PARTICIPATING IN HELPING OUT THAT PROGRAM.

[00:55:07]

THAT'S 16, 17 AND 18TH OCTOBER. THIS FRIDAY NIGHT.

I KNOW YOU'RE ALL REALLY EXCITED TO BE AT FAIRBORN HIGH SCHOOL.

IT'S THEIR SECOND HOME GAME. LAST WEEK WAS THEIR FIRST HOME GAME.

THIS WEEK, IT'S AGAINST GREENVILLE. SO PLEASE COME OUT.

THAT'S WHERE I WORE MY FAIRBORN BLUE TONIGHT AND MY FAIRBORN PIN.

LET'S REALLY GET OUT THERE AND CHEER ON OUR SKYHAWKS AS THEY TAKE ON THE STUDENTS FROM GREENVILLE.

AND THEN ON THE 12TH OF SEPTEMBER, THERE ARE TWO COMPETING EVENTS.

UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S THE AIR FORCE BALL, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT PARTICIPATE IN THAT.

BUT IF YOU CAN'T GET TO THE AIR FORCE BALL, IT'S ALSO IN HONOR FLIGHT RETURNING THAT EVENING AT THE DAYTON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

SO IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO AN HONOR FLIGHT RETURN, IT'S REALLY A VERY, VERY SPECIAL EVENT FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO GET A CHANCE TO GO TO WASHINGTON DC, OUR VETERANS, TO SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT VETERAN MEMORIALS.

SO IF THERE IS ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL BUSINESS? OKAY, IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? SO MOVED.

SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. JULIE, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

MR. MCCUBBINS. YES. MR. DODD. YES. MR. ALLEN.

YES. MISS CHESS. YES. MISS STANTON. YES. MR. KIRKPATRICK.

YES. CITY COUNCIL MEETING IS OVER. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
