[Call for New Business]

THIS EVENING AT THIS TIME, IF THERE IS ANY NEW BUSINESS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF COUNSEL, PLEASE DO SO AT THIS TIME, AND WE WILL START BY GOING THROUGH A LIST OF FOLKS WHO HAVE SIGNED IN TO SPEAK TO COUNCIL THIS EVENING. STARTING WITH CHRISTIE LAUGHIN. PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD WHEN YOU GET TO THE MICROPHONE. I'M CHRISTI LAUGHING. I LIVE AT 4447. WANT DRIVE IN GROVE CITY. UM. IT IS MY GOAL TO BE AT EVERY MEETING.

AND YOU BECOME FAMILIAR WITH WHO I AM. I'M A BUSINESS OWNER. I'M A RESIDENT. AND I HAVE.

CHOSEN GROVE CITY AS A PLACE TO GROW A BRAND AND TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. THIS MONTH. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TRAVELING. AND I HAVE GONE THROUGH A LOT OF SMALL BUSINESS OF A LOT OF SMALL TOWNS. I'VE SEEN A LOT OF SMALL BUSINESSES CLOSED. AND TOO MANY OF YOU KNOW IF YOU'VE DONE THE SAME THING AS SHOCKING SOMETIMES TO WALK THROUGH A SMALL TOWN LIKE

[00:10:01]

OURS AND SEE RESTAURANTS THAT YOU DEPENDED ON. THEIR CLOTHES SHOPS THAT YOU SPENT A LOT OF YOUR MONEY OUT CLOSED AS YOU TRAVELED. AND I HAD TO REFLECT ON WHY. WE'VE NOT SEEN THAT HERE IN THE HEART OF PROBE CITY. YES WE'VE SEEN SOME STORES CLOSE AND WE SEE SOME RESTAURANTS STRUGGLE, BUT THERE'S A REASON WHY WE HAVEN'T ALL CLOSED THEIR DOORS. COVID AND THE PANDEMIC WAS DIFFICULT AND WE ARE NOT OUT OF THAT. AND IF I TELL YOU IF I SHARED IN THIS ROOM, THE AMOUNT OF RENT THAT WE PAY. THAT WOULD ALSO PROBABLY BE SHOCKING TO YOU, BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT, OUR LANDLORDS SAY TO US, YOU SAID A MILLION DOLLAR CORNER. WHY DO SIT ON THE MILLION DOLLAR CORNER BECAUSE WE'VE MADE IT A MILLION DOLLAR CORNER? WE'VE WORKED HARD, NOT ME. BUT ALL OF US IN THIS COMMUNITY, AND THERE'S A PROBLEM RIGHT NOW.

THERE WAS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE TO ADDRESS. BECAUSE AS A BUSINESS WOMAN, I READ A LOT OF BOOKS AND THEY ALWAYS COME BACK TO COMMUNICATION AND THERE'S MISINFORMATION RIGHT NOW, MANY OF YOU ARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. AND YOU KNOW WHAT IS SAID IN SOCIAL MEDIA IN 2021 WILL KILL A BUSINESS OR BUILD A BUSINESS. AND RIGHT NOW. SOCIAL MEDIA IS KILLING OUR BUSINESSES, AND WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. SO I DEALT WITH MY LANDLORD PUTTING IN A PAID METER.

PARKING LOT THAT YOU HAD TO PAY, AND I WAS, LIKE, ALMOST PUT OUT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE PEOPLE BOYCOTTED THE FARM TABLE. BECAUSE I WAS CHARGING FOR PARKING AND I DIDN'T OWN THAT THAT LAND OR I, ACTUALLY I THOUGHT THAT NOW WE HAVE COMMUNICATION THAT SOUNDS LIKE THIS. WE CAN'T HAVE AN EVENT ON THE STREET. WE CAN'T ARTS IN THE ALLEY IS MOVED. YOUR YOU KNOW, UM, SHOP HOP IS YOU'RE DOING GOOD. YOU'RE BENEFITING FROM SHOP, BUT YOU WON'T LET US DO. UM. THE ALUMNI, YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S AN A BOYCOTT THIS WEEKEND ON ALL THE BUSINESSES BECAUSE ALUMNI CAN'T BE OUT HERE. ON THE STREET FOR THEIR ALUMNI REUNION. WHATEVER THEY CALL IT, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I'M BEING BOYCOTTED, AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS. IT'S LACK OF INFORMATION. IF WE KNEW WHY THIS WASN'T AT THIS EVENT. HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED. WE CALLED A MEETING. WE TALKED TO CITY COUNCIL WE CALLED CHAMBER WE ASKED TO MEET WITH OTHER PEOPLE. NOBODY KNOWS. NO ONE KNOWS. NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THEY HAVE NO IDEA. SO THEN WE HAVE NO IDEA SO WE CAN'T SUPPORT YOU. WE CAN'T SUPPORT THIS LEADERSHIP BECAUSE THERE'S NO COMMUNICATION AND WHAT IS HAPPENING? THE FLOW OF CUSTOMERS TO THIS CITY MATTERS. THE FLOW OF EVENTS AND WHEN PEOPLE COME, THEY DON'T WANT TO BE IN A SQUARE OF GRASS. THEY WANT TO BE FLOWING THROUGH TOWN IF WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION. HOW THAT HAPPENS. WE NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT. BUT WE CAN'T JUST MAKE A DECISION ACROSS A PIECE OF PAPER AND NOT KNOW IT AFFECTS EVERY ONE OF US. WE'VE WORKED REALLY HARD TO WORK AS A COMMUNITY. THAT'S WHY OUR DOORS AREN'T CLOSED. AND I WILL FIGHT TO KEEP MY BUSINESS IN GROVE CITY BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THIS TOWN. THIS IS MY HOME. BUT I CAN'T FIGHT IT. IT DECISIONS. BEING MADE THAT WE HAVE NO IDEA WHO'S MAKING THEM AND WHY. SO I'M ASKING FOR MORE COMMUNICATION. THAT IS WHY I'M HERE. AND I AM HERE TO READ A LETTER FROM JOLENE ANGLE AND CAN I DO THAT? YEAH, SHE COULD NOT BE HERE. SHERIFF FAMILY EMERGENCY, SO SHE'S THE NEXT PERSON ON THE LIST. OKAY, I'LL LET YOU DO THAT. AND THEN I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT BRIEFLY.

GO AHEAD. AND SO THE NEXT PERSON ON THE LIST IS NOT HERE IN PERSON, BUT WE HAVE A LETTER TO BE READ FOR THE RECORD. YES. JULIAN ENGLEMAN. SHE'S A RESIDENT OF 60 43 PLATINUM DRIVING GROVE CITY, OHIO. YES, GO AHEAD, AND I HAVE NOT READ THIS LETTER. SO I WAS INFORMED.

THERE'S NO SWEAR WORDS OR. THIS IS FROM JOLIE ANGLE MEN, SHE SAYS. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK THIS EVENING. MY NAME IS JOLENE ENGLEMAN, OWNER. OF COUNTRY HARD PRIMITIVES LOCATED LOCATED AT 3937, BROADWAY FIRST, LET ME SAY THAT I AM A 60 YEAR RESIDENT OF GROVE CITY, AND I CONSIDER THIS MY BUSINESS. MY HOMETOWN. NOT ONLY DO I LIVE HERE, BUT I HAVE CHOSEN. THIS TOWN 14 YEARS AGO TO START MY BUSINESS. WE MOVED TO OUR

[00:15:04]

CURRENT LOCATION IN 2012 AND HAD HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH UTILITY WORK ON BROADWAY. THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW LIBRARY. NUMEROUS ROAD CLOSURES FOR EVENTS WOULD NO ADVANCED NOTICE. AND THE CURRENT COLUMBUS STREET EXTENSION PROJECT ALL OF THIS. IN THE PAST SEVEN YEARS. NO ONE FROM THE CITY BOTHER TO COME TO US AND ASK HOW ALL OF THIS WAS AFFECTING OUR BUSINESS OR IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP US IF THEY WOULD HAVE ASKED US BEFORE ALL THIS CONSTRUCTION BEGAN. WE HAVE GIVEN THEM FEEDBACK. INSTEAD WE HAVE HAD TO REQUEST HANDICAPPED PARKING SPACES TWICE BECAUSE THE CITY FAILED TO MAKE THIS AVAILABLE TO OUR CUSTOMERS. MOST RECENTLY I HAD TO CALL ON MRS HELP. JUST TO STEP IN FOR US TO GET TO TEMPORARY HANDICAP SPACES ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND GET THE PROPER VISIBLE SIGNAGE. WE HAVE REQUESTED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR SOME ASSISTANCE FROM THE CITY WITH A TEMPORARY LOADING AND UNLOADING ZONE. DUE TO THE FURNITURE. WE MOVE IN AND OUT OF OUR STORE. MY REQUEST HAS FALLEN ON DEAF EARS AND WE HAVE ARE FORCED TO EITHER CARRY FURNITURE DOWN THE FRONT STEPS OR BLOCKED TRAFFIC ON COLUMBUS STREET. BOTH OF WHICH ARE VERY DANGEROUS. WE HAVE STRUGGLED THROUGH THE PAST 16 MONTHS, FIRST, WITH THE PANDEMIC AND HAVING TO CLOSE OUR STORES DOWN FOR TWO MONTHS AND HAD NO INCOME AS A RESULT OF THAT.

WHEN YOU REOPEN THE FARMER'S MARKET THIS YEAR, YOU PUT IT BEHIND BUILDINGS AND NO ONE COULD FIND IT. WE HAVE ALWAYS OPENED EARLY ON SATURDAY DURING FARMERS MARKET TO ACCOMMODATE THE EARLY SHOPPERS. NOW WE SEE VERY LITTLE OR NO TRAFFIC. YOU NEED TO MOVE THIS ENTIRE MARKET BACK OUT ON BROADWAY AS IT USED TO BE AS ADULTS. WE SHOULD NOT NEED A CROSSING GUARDS ACROSS THE STREET. NOW WE HAVE LEARNED THAT YOU WANT TO MOVE ARTS IN THE ALLEY AND THE OTHER OUTDOOR EVENTS OFFER BROADWAY. THIS IS OUR BUSIEST WEEKEND OF THE ENTIRE YEAR, AND THE SMALL BUSINESSES DEPEND ON THIS. THIS DOES NOT ONLY AFFECT ME, BUT I HAVE ABOUT 20 VENDORS IN MY STORE THAT DEPEND ON IT. WE ARE NOT JUST A STOREFRONT. WE ARE RESIDENTS WHO HAVE FAMILIES AND NEED THIS INCOME. TO GET THROUGH THESE TIMES AND THESE HARD TIMES. THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMMUNITIES IN OHIO, WHO BLOCK MAIN ROUTES FOR THEIR FESTIVALS. WE HAVE DONE THIS WITH ARTS IN THE ALLEY FOR OVER 30 YEARS, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE NEED TO CHANGE THIS NOW. PEOPLE COMING INTO A TOWN FOR THIS EVENT ARE NOT GOING TO FIND IT BACK BEHIND THE BUILDING THAT ARE THE SAME HEIGHT AS A TENSE LAST WEEKEND. I TOOK SPECIAL NOTICE DURING THE TACO AND TEQUILA EVENT. YOU COULD NOT SEE THE TENTS WHEN YOU TRAVEL NORTH OR SOUTH. ON BROADWAY. IF YOU WANT THIS TOWN TO BE WALKABLE, YOU NEED TO KEEP THESE EVENTS OUT WHERE PEOPLE CAN FIND THEM. THE JOKE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I DO WANT TO CIRCLE BACK TO THE LAST TIME THAT YOU WERE HERE, AND, UM AND I ENCOURAGED YOU TO SPEAK TO STAFF. HAS THAT OCCURRED AT THIS TIME? SO SO THAT HAS NOT OCCURRED YET, SO I DO JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT POINT. UM, WHAT YOUR COMMENTARY WAS VERY MUCH FOCUSED BOTH THIS TIME AND LAST TIME ON THE ROLE THAT WE PLAY THAT THAT WE AS MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. AND ADMINISTRATION AND STAFF PLAY, SO I WANT TO BE SURE THAT THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT WE CONNECT BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE THE COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN OCCURS. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THIS HAS BEEN A CONVERSATIONS SINCE WE BEGAN DISCUSSING THE REALIGNMENT OF COLUMBUS STREET. SO THIS IS NOT NEW INFORMATION.

THIS IS KIND OF OLD INFORMATION. AND YET. IN THIS ENVIRONMENT. I THINK EVERYONE ON STAFF AND I CAN I KNOW THAT I CAN SPEAK FOR ADMINISTRATION AND WE ARE. WE ARE INTERESTED IN HAVING THE CONVERSATION ON WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES. AND HOW CAN WE ADDRESS THEM? I ALSO DO THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LIST OF FACTORS THAT ARE TIED INTOT CLOO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT GETS ACCOMPLISHED. I DO ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT IN ALL FAIRNESS THAT THE MEMBERS OF THIS BODY APPROVED A GRANT PROGRAM THAT WAS INITIATED BY

[00:20:04]

STAFF. DURING COVID. WE ALSO SUPPORTED A GRANT PROGRAM THROUGH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE BUY ONE GET ONE HOMETOWN DOLLARS PROGRAM. WE ARE COMMITTED AND WE ARE LIVING THAT COMMITMENT ON A DAILY BASIS TO THE VIBRANCY OF THIS DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY. SO I DO WANT TO STATE THAT AND I DO WANT TO SAY THAT THE COMMUNICATION. MESSAGE IS NOT LOST ON ME BECAUSE I THINK THE BREAKDOWN OF COMMUNICATION IS PROBABLY THE KEY TO EVERYONE OF THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND DISCOMFORT IN OUR COMMUNITY. BUT LET'S NOT ASSUME THAT WE HAVE THE ANSWER UNTIL WE HEAR DIRECTLY FROM THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MAKING THE DECISIONS AND SOCIAL MEDIA IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THAT. I USUALLY SPEND A SATURDAY MORNING WITH A CUP OF COFFEE, SAYING, UM, LET ME SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE. I BRACED MYSELF FOR WHAT'S OUT THERE, AND THERE IS REALLY NO WAY TO HEAD OFF ALL OF THE MISINFORMATION VIA ONE POST AND SO. AND THAT'S RIGHT. SO FOR EVERY PERSON, EVERY PERSON IN THIS ROOM. PLEASE ALWAYS ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GO TO THE SOURCE, PLEASE. THAT'S THE THAT'S THE BIGGEST PART. WE COULD ALL PLAY ON SOCIAL MEDIA. PLEASE GO TO THE SOURCE. GO TO GO TO THE CITY AND ASK YOUR QUESTIONS. THAT IS ALL I WANT TO SAY. MR BERRY. YOU SAID YOU ALSO WANTED TO COMMENT. 1ST 1ST OF ALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR DILIGENCE AND BEING HERE. WHO MAYOR IS GOING TO BE THE CONTACT PERSON FOR THIS? UM IS IT IS IT MR DEIDRE, WHO'S GOING TO BE THE CONTACT PERSON THAT FROM THE ADMINISTRATION TO TALK? GOING THROUGH SOME OF THESE. I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A MEETING SET UP FOR THE 30TH. IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY, IT'S A 29TH 29 6 P.M. LOCATION TO BE ANNOUNCED ATTENDEES ATTENDEES TO BE ANNOUNCED STILL WORKING THROUGH IT? NO, IT'S MR UH, ANDY'S MEETING. OKAY, THAT'S THAT'S. AND THERE HAS BEEN ONGOING CONVERSATION AND DON'T WANT TOTALLY BELIEVED. WHAT I WANT TO GO BACK TO ONE POINT BECAUSE TO ME, IT'S VERY JERMAINE. I WENT IN TO SEE MRS LAUGHING WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THE KOVEN. AND WE'VE JUST DONE THE HOMETOWN DOLLARS. THE REASON ONE OF THE PRIME REASONS THAT WE WORKED, MR BERRY AND I TOGETHER TO GET IT EXTENDED WAS HER BUSINESS. BECAUSE SHE RAVED ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF WHAT WE PUT IN PLACE. MAKE THIS THING WORK. AS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN. SO THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION. AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE PICTURES MUCH BROADER.

OKAY? CONTINUE.

THANK YOU, MR BERRY. ONE MORE COMMENT. YES, THE AND ONE THING WHEN IT COMES TO SOCIAL MEDIA AND EVERYTHING. I SEE THE SAME THING YOU DO, I SPEND A GREAT DEAL OF MY TIME TRYING TO CORRECT UM MISINFORMATION AND ALSO TRYING TO PUT MY PHONE NUMBER AUTHORS SO PEOPLE WILL CALL SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY TALK TO PEOPLE INSTEAD OF TYPING TEXTS ALL THE TIME.

IT'S VERY, VERY DIFFICULT. I HAD A QUESTION OF PEOPLE WANTING TO KNOW WHERE CERTAIN MONIES COME FROM. WELL, WHEN YOU WHEN YOU HAVE WHEN YOU'RE TEXTING, IT'S VERY HARD TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE. WHERE THINGS WERE. YOU KNOW HOW THINGS ACTUALLY WORK WITH. THE LAWS ARE SO ON AND SO FORTH. BUT, YOU KNOW, I SPENT A GREAT AND I KNOW THE REST OF COUNCIL DOES TO SPENDS A GREAT DEAL OF TIME TRYING TO BASICALLY CORRECT INFORMATION THAT SOMEBODY'S HEARD A RUMOR OR THIS, THAT THE OTHER THE OTHER THING THAT I'LL SAY IS, YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT I UNDERSTAND. WE LIVE IN A FRUSTRATING TIME, AND PEOPLE WERE FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THE PANDEMIC BECAUSE THE JOBS BECAUSE THE FAMILY BECAUSE OF.

ILLNESSES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT PEOPLE WILL POST THINGS AND WE CAN'T STOP THIS ABOUT NEGATIVITY ABOUT CERTAIN STORES. THEY RAN OUT OF CHICKEN NUGGETS AT MCDONALD'S OR SOMETHING, AND THEY'LL COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. AND EVERYTHING. WELL YOU KNOW, I CAN'T CONTROL CHICKEN NUGGETS.

I DON'T CLAIM TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. BUT AT THE SAME POINT IN TIME, WE ALWAYS HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THOSE BUSINESSES HIRE PEOPLE, THEIR LOCAL RESIDENTS. AND IT MAY BE OUT OF THEIR THEIR THEIR POWER AS WELL TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S CHICKEN HUG. IT'S AND EVERYTHING. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S A BAD RESTAURANT BECAUSE THEY RAN OUT OF FOOD OR GAS OR OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, AND WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THERE'S PEOPLE WORKING IN

[00:25:02]

THOSE PLACES THAT ARE SUPPORTING FAMILIES. SO WHEN WE GO TO SAY, NICK, NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT THEM, WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT AND YOU KNOW, NO PLACE IS PERFECT. BUT SOCIAL MEDIA HAS BEEN. SOCIAL MEDIA IS A WAY THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE VENT ANGER AND YOU KNOW THEY COME HOME. THEY'RE FRUSTRATED. THE KIDS ARE CRYING AND THEY DON'T HAVE CHICKEN NUGGETS OR THEY DON'T HAVE GASOLINE BECAUSE THEY WENT SOMEPLACE ELSE. BUT PLEASE, YOU KNOW, AND I TALKED TO SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE MAYOR ABOUT THIS. WE YOU'VE GOT TO THINK WHAT YOU'RE DOING BY DOING WHAT? YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE TYPING. AND HOW IT'S COMING ACROSS BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE YOU KNOW THEY WILL LITERALLY NOT SHOW UP TO MCDONALD'S ANYMORE BECAUSE BECAUSE OF THAT, WELL, WE ALL KNOW THAT BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN HURTING BECAUSE OF THE NUMBERS OF EMPLOYEES. HAVE BEEN HURTING FOR MANY, MANY REASONS. SOME ARE JUST FIGHTING TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN RIGHT NOW, SO. JUST YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS KEEP SAYING LOVE EACH OTHER AND BE PATIENT WITH EACH OTHER AND YOU KNOW BY LOCAL BUT I'M OFF MY SOAPBOX FROM THIS MOMENT. THANKS MR PERRY. OKAY, GIVEN A LITTLE BIT OF LATITUDE BECAUSE WE WERE ADDRESSING THIS SAME TOPIC TWO MEETINGS, UNIVERSAL. GO AHEAD, MAYOR, ONE MORE AND THEN EVERY GOOD YES, THERE'S ALSO AN ELEMENT. THAT AS WE DISCUSS SITUATIONS, PARTICULARLY DOWNTOWN. AND THIS LEFT, YOU BROUGHT IT UP. THE LANDLORD. AS, FOR INSTANCE, WHERE THE. THE AUCTION HOUSE'S MRS UH ENGLAND. WE DOUBLE THAT LANDLORD FOR SIX MONTHS. TRYING TO ARRANGE THE TRANSITION OF HOW DO YOU GET THIS PROPERTY PURCHASED AND ONE OF SOME OF THE RAMIFICATIONS AND ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS. HER LANDLORD.

WE GOT AS MUCH GRIEF ABOUT THOSE PARKING METERS AS ANYBODY. WE TOOK THE HEAT. NOT OUR PARKING METERS. SO. THERE IS ANOTHER ELEMENT HERE, WHICH, WHEN YOU GET TO THE TABLE OUGHT TO BE PART OF THE DISCUSSION. AND IT'S THE LANDLORD. THANK YOU. COMPLETELY AGREE, OKAY? NEXT ON MY LIST THIS EVENING. WE HAVE ERIC HOLDER HERE. HI. YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. MY NAME IS ERIC HOLDER. I LIVE AT 6 75 LONDON GROWTH PORT ROAD. UM OTHER FARM. I'M HERE TO ADDRESS THE LAND DEVELOPMENT AT UM ON 6 65 BETWEEN 23 1 OF FOUR. I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE LATE IN THE GAME, BUT I DON'T FEEL IT'S TOO LATE TO BRING UP MY CONCERNS AS OTHER PEOPLE IN SOCIAL MEDIA HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT, UM, THAT THEY HAD THE SAME CONCERNS THAT I'D USE. UH HUH. SO NUMBER ONE. AN ISSUE WITH STORM RUNOFF. UM, THAT AREA IS NOT DOES NOT HAVE GOOD DRAINAGE AND HAS A HIGH WATER TABLE AND I KNOW THEY PUT IN DRAINAGE PIPES TO REMEDY THAT. I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW. WHEN THEY TEAR THAT UP FOR FOUNDATIONS. IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO CONTINUE TO HELP. BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT IT'S ALREADY AFFECTED MY PROPERTY. UM IT'S FLOODING AT A FASTER AND MORE FREQUENT RATE. I AM ON FLOODPLAIN. UH, HOWEVER, ITS 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN, WHICH MEANS THAT THERE'S A 1% CHANCE IN A GIVEN YEAR THAT FLOOD WELL, IT'S FLOODING 2 TO 3 TIMES A YEAR. SO, UM, YOU KNOW. THINGS ARE AFFECTING THAT, AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE WATER IS RUNNING DOWNHILL FROM THAT AREA ONTO MY PROPERTY AND AFFECTING THAT IN JACKSON TOWNSHIP CODE THREE OR ONE OF THREE SECTION C STORMWATER RUNOFF STATES INBOARD. NO ACTIVITY SHOULD BE UNDERTAKEN ON A LOT. THAT CREATES ADVERSE IMPACT ON TWO ADJACENT PROPERTIES. MHM. WHICH IT CLEARLY IS DOING, UM MHM.

HAVE ABOUT 25 ACRES OF CROP FIELD THAT GOES UNDER. AND LIKE I SAID, I'M MORE FREQUENT RIGHT NOW. TRAFFIC IS THE BIG OBVIOUS CONCERN AMONG MANY PEOPLE, UM. I KNOW THAT THERE IS THERE WAS SAID TO BE STUDIES DONE TO MONITOR TO CHECK THIS OR TO SEE HOW IT HOW THE TRAFFIC IS GOING.

BUT I STRONGLY QUESTION. HOW THESE STUDIES ARE GOING TO BE DONE SINCE. I AM PERSONALLY NOT SEEING TRAFFIC FLOW IN THE AREA. UM. WHAT? IT WAS PRE COVID. SO, UH, WHERE WE WOULD BE TAKING STUDIES FROM A NUMBER THAT ISN'T REALLY ACCURATE TO WHAT THE NORMAL FLOW SHOULD BE WHEN WE FULLY RECOVER FROM THE PANDEMIC. MHM. NOT TO MENTION THE ALL THE NEW WAREHOUSES AND ALL THE NEW TRUCKS, LARGE TRUCKS THAT ARE GOING TO PASSENGER. IT'S ALREADY OVERLOADED WITH TRUCKS. I, UM IT'S UNBELIEVABLE TO SIT THERE AND WATCH HOW MANY TRUCKS HAVE BEEN IN MY YARD. MY NEIGHBOR'S YARDS AND HOW MANY TAKE THAT TURN DANGEROUSLY CARS PASSING EACH OTHER AGGRESSIVELY, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST 100 TIMES A DAY. YEAH. THE BRIDGE. WE'VE GOT

[00:30:04]

MULTI LANE ROADS FEEDING INTO A BOTTLENECK OF TWO LANE BRIDGE. WHICH YOU KNOW THERE'S ONLY A FEW PLACES ACROSS THE RIVER, SO INCREASED TRAFFIC CONSTRUCTION OF ROAD MAINTENANCE ACCIDENTS.

ALL THESE FACTORS YOU ARE. ARE YOU JUST GOING TO MAKE IT MAKE IT WORSE AND. I'VE BEEN THERE, UH, STUCK AT MY HOUSE FOR WELL OVER 16 HOURS STRAIGHT BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC WAS JUST STUCK BOTH WAYS, AND THERE'S NOWHERE TO GO AND HAD THERE BEEN AN EMERGENCY OR EMERGENCY VEHICLE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THROUGH TWO LANES. TO GET TO ANY, UH, ANY WHERE BOTH SIDES OF ME OR TO ME OR MY NEIGHBORS, UM. THE. ALSO MY KIDS, MY 25 YEAR OLDS, A NINE YEAR OLD HAVE TO CROSS THE STREET TO GET ON AND OFF THE BUS. UM AND THEY'VE HAD COME CLOSE TO BEING HIT ALREADY, JUST FROM. YOU KNOW THE TRAFFIC FLOAT AS IT IS NOW, SO THOSE ARE JUST WHY IT'S PERSONAL TO ME, UM, THAT IF IT GETS ANY WORSE, WE'RE JUST RAISING THE PROBABILITY OF MORE PROBLEMS. UM. YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE ARE POLICE REPORTS OVER AT LEAST THE PENCE 10 YEARS FROM JACKSON TOWNSHIP SHERIFFS AND GROWTH CITY POLICE BUT DOZENS OF ACCIDENTS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO MY PROPERTY ALONE. AND THESE ARE ONLY NOT EVEN HAVE TO ASK INCIDENCES THAT DON'T GO REPORTED SEVERAL YOUNG GIRLS ALMOST WRAPPING AROUND THE TREE ON MY YARD. MY KIDS SWING SET WAS COMPLETELY TAKEN OUT. CAR CRASHED INTO MY DECK THREE FT.

AWAY FROM WHERE MY SON AND I WERE SLEEPING AT THE TIME, UM, CAR TOOK OUT THE CORNER OF MY GARAGE WHEN MY SON DOG AND I WERE INSIDE OF IT, ALMOST COLLAPSING THE GARAGE ON TOP OF US. YEAH. SO, UM, MY BUSINESS ON THE FARM HAS A LOT TO GAIN FROM, UM, YOU HAVE 400 PLUS HOMES IN THE AREA. UM AND SO I CAN'T SAY THAT. THERE ISN'T SOME POSITIVES TO SEEING IN A DEVELOPMENT THERE. BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE THE BEST DECISION FOR THE COMMUNITY. UM. AND THEN AGAIN, ALSO IN THE EARLY STAGES. MY GOAL IS TO PROVIDE NON GMO NON CHEMICALLY TREATED FOOD TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. BUT IN THE YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION FOR THIS PROPERTY, UH. IF THEY CAN'T GET TO ME, I CAN'T EVEN SURVIVE IS A BIT AS A SMALL BUSINESS. UM THROUGH THAT GROWING THOSE GROWING PAINS. AND SO, UH, YEAH, I RANDOMLY MADE A COMMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. UM, ABOUT THE TRAFFIC, AND IT TURNED INTO 300 PEOPLE REACHING OUT DIRECTLY TO ME HAS COME HERE TODAY AND SPEAK. MM. WHICH OBVIOUSLY I'VE DONE, UH, NOT BEING A PUBLIC SPEAKER, NOT BEING A POLITICIAN. AND NOT EVEN BEING AN ACTIVIST. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, BUT A LOT OF THE YOUR CONSTITUENTS HAVE ASKED ME TO ADDRESS OVERALL CITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND CROWDED CLASSROOMS. UH FIXED INCOME ON ELDERLY IN THE RAISING TAXES.

AND OBVIOUSLY I NOT REALLY IN A POSITION TO MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF POINTS TO THOSE MATTERS. UM, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE IN THE AREA HAVE LEGITIMATE CONCERNS RESPONSIBLE. UH, CONCERNS ABOUT HOW POSITIVE AND RESPONSIBLE GROWTH IS BEING OBTAINED. AND I ASKED THAT THIS PROPERTY. I HIGHLY BELIEVE THAT IT'S NOT THE PLACE TO BUILD HOMES. I'M WELL AWARE WE NEED MR ELDER. MAY I INTERJECT YOU REALLY QUICKLY SO THAT YOU CAN IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENT TO MAKE TO ENCLOSING COMMON, BUT YEAH, BUT I DO. I WANTED TO TRY TO GET EYE CONTACT. SO ONE OF THE THINGS I WILL SAY IS THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT THAT YOU REFERENCED? UM WAS APPROVED IN PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN. PART OF THAT GOING INTO THE NEXT PHASE OF THAT FOR THEM. IS THAT TRAFFIC STUDY THAT YOU'RE REFERENCING. SO, UM, MR ROUSE, WHO IS SITTING HERE RIGHT OFF THE AISLE? UM HE WOULD BE A GREAT PERSON TO CONNECT WITH SO THAT YOU CAN STAY IN THE INFORMATION LOOP ABOUT HOW THAT PROJECT MOVES FORWARD. I BELIEVE IN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, MR ROUCH. THERE WILL BE STILL THE REZONING OF THAT PARCEL AS WELL AS THE APPROVAL OF THEIR FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN WILL COME BEFORE COUNCIL SO THAT WILL AND IT WILL BE PLANNING COMMISSION, THEN CITY COUNCIL SO. STAYING IN THE LOOP AND KNOWING WHEN THOSE MEETINGS ARE AND HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS WITH BOTH BODIES WOULD BE IMPORTANT AS WE MOVE FORWARD, BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR BEING HERE THIS EVENING. GREAT JOB. OKAY. I DON'T WANT TO OPEN THE DOOR TO TOO MUCH FOR THIS AGAIN. GO AHEAD, MR. BUT I MEAN, I HAVE A QUESTION. JUST ABOUT LOCATION. GO AHEAD. GO AHEAD FOR SMALL.

ERIC. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU FOR COMING IN. YOU DID A GREAT JOB, SO. CAN YOU GIVE US A COPY OF YOUR LETTER? DO YOU? DO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING WRITTEN DOWN OR BULLET POINTS OR ANYTHING? IF YOU COULD GIVE THAT TO, UM, THE CLERK THAT WOULD BE GREAT THAT WAY WE HAVE YOUR BULLET POINTS AND YOUR PHONE NUMBER AND ALL THAT TO YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING IN. THANK YOU. MR. IT'S A QUESTION ABOUT YOU LIVE ON THE CURVE. AND IT'S THE FARM

[00:35:01]

RIGHT THERE WITH THE TRACKS. IS IT WITH THE HORSE TRACK RIGHT THERE AND THEN? OKAY AND THEY'RE YOUR BUSINESSES WHERE I SEE LIKE FRESH VEGETABLES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. OKAY, GOOD.

UM, ONE THING THAT. WE SHOULD YOU SHOULD PUT IN YOUR ADDRESS. THERE IS THE STATE OF OHIO PUT IN AT 55 MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT ON 6 65, WHICH IS NOT OPEN TO US. AND THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED BECAUSE IT'S MUCH TOO FAST. YEAH, YEAH, WELL, I BELIEVE RIGHT BEFORE THE CURVE IS 35, BUT I DON'T SEE ANYBODY EVER RESPECTING THAT. AFTER THE TURN. IT'S 55.

YEAH SEND THEM PEOPLE WANT TO GO 90 IF THEY CAN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANKS. VERY ALL RIGHT. FINALLY WE HAVE SCOTT COMPTON. MR CONSTANT IF YOU COULD JUST COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD BEFORE YOU GET AGAIN. I'M ON AT 7155 STATE, RIGHT? ONE OF. FOUR UM, I JUST PUT MY NAME DOWN JUST TO MAKE SOME GENERAL COMMENTS. UH NOTHING ABOUT SPECIFIC AGENDAS, BUT. LIKE YOU DO SAY THERE IS A LOT OF GARBAGE OUT THERE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. UM. MAINLY BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE A LACK OF. AN EASY WAY TO GET INFORMATION IS CORRECT. THE WEBSITE. DOES LEAD YOU TO INFORMATION, BUT IT'S VERY CUMBERSOME, VERY HARD TO GET TO SOCIAL MEDIA PERSON FOR THIS GROUP CITY WOULD BE GREAT. TO CORRECT SOME OF THE STUFF THAT'S OUT THERE. TO GUIDE PEOPLE DOWN THE RIGHT PATH. BECAUSE I MEAN, IT'S A YOUNGER GENERATION. SO THAT WOULD HELP. WHEN WE'RE OLDER PEOPLE AND IT'S HARD FOR US. SO YOU GET ON SOCIAL MEDIA LIST IN THE GARBAGE. BUT ANYWAYS. LOT OF PEOPLE ARE JUST UPSET BECAUSE GROWTH CITY. AS IT WAS. LITTLE PARK DOWNTOWN. IT'S JUST PEOPLE WANT TO SEE A STAPLE.

SOMETHING THAT'S HERE. AND IT'S JUST NOT THERE AND EVERYBODY'S GETTING PISSED AND THAT'S ALL I GOT. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT. UM, I DO WANT TO SAY, AND I TRIED TO POINT IT OUT REGULARLY ON THE DEVELOPMENT PAGE OF THE CITY'S WEBSITE. YOU CAN FOLLOW A PROJECT THROUGH THE PIPELINE.

ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW PLANNING COMMISSION, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED PLANS AND THEN PLANS THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION, SO YOU ARE ABLE TO DO THAT. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. I BELIEVE WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON A DEVELOPMENT WEBSITE FOR FUTURE USE. IS THAT CORRECT, MR RASH, AND THAT MAY BE ANOTHER EASIER WAY THAT WE CAN POINT PEOPLE TOWARDS THE INFORMATION THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR. BUT I, BUT I DO KNOW IT'S ALMOST LIKE THERE SHOULD BE TRAINING CLASSES SO THAT YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO TO LOOK FOR THE INFORMATION. BUT OUR SOCIAL MEDIA TEAM ALSO, I THINK REGULARLY SHARES INFORMATION ABOUT FINDING THAT, UM HOW TO FIND MEETINGS THAT ARE GOING ON WITH THE CITY. PLANNING COMMISSION CITY COUNCIL. UH SO DEFINITELY FOLLOW THOSE OFFICIAL CHANNELS. IF I MIGHT PUT THAT PLUG IN THERE, SO THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU SPEAKING THIS EVENING. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. AND THEN AT THIS POINT IN TIME, IF THERE ARE NO OTHER ITEMS OF NEW BUSINESS FROM THE AUDIENCE, I WILL TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO MAYOR STAGE. THANK YOU, MADAM
