THE LAST POINT OF BUSINESSES ARE ACCEPTANCE OF THE RULES. THAT COUNCIL UM MS HOSPITAL OUT OF WORK INTO THESE PRIOR. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY CORRECTIONS OR CHANGES AT THIS POINT? I MEAN, COMMENTS ABOUT HIM. MASK A QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ACTUALLY RELATED TO THE COUNCIL RULES OR NOT TO THROW THIS OUT THERE AS IT RELATES TO BILL LIAISON ROLES. WHAT WHERE ARE THOSE ADDRESSES ARE THOSE IN IN OUR HOMES OR THOSE JUST SPECIFIC REQUESTS FROM ORGANIZATIONS. 
          THAT'S A AS WE RECEIVE. REQUESTS FROM ORGANIZATIONS AND WE WILL ADDRESS THOSE IN THE PRESIDENT USUALLY ASSIGNS THOSE AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS FIND OUT WHAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN AND THEN WE CAN MAKE THAT APPOINTMENT AT THE NEXT COUNCIL. SO I WANTED TO JUST GO OUT THERE WHILE WE'RE HERE SINCE WE'RE IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL STATUS. I WANT TO JUST THROW OUT THERE FOR 
          [00:05:05]
EVERYONE'S CONSIDERATION AS WE MOVE INTO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE THOSE REQUESTS AND ARE MAKING THOSE ASSIGNMENTS. THAT WE TRY TO ROTATE. I THINK THAT YOU KNOW, WE FOUND OUT IN TERMS OF THE CONVERSATION WITH THE VISITORS ORGANIZATION THAT IT'S VERY HELPFUL TO HAVE THAT FIRST PERSON EXPERIENCE SO JUST FOR EVERYONE TO CONSIDER, AS WE HAVE REQUESTED ORGANIZATIONS, IT MIGHT BE NICE FOR US TO MOVE OFF OF WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY. AND EXPERIENCE SOMETHING AND CONNECT WITH A DIFFERENT GROUP. AND OBVIOUSLY KEY TO THAT EQUATION. AND MISS KELLY. YOU CAN GET THIS INFORMATION FOR EVERYBODY WOULD BE WHEN DOES THE ORGANIZATION MEET SO THAT YOU KNOW THAT IT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN ACTUALLY ATTEND ABSOLUTE. THAT'S HALF THE BATTLE. THAT DECISION. WE'LL DO WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE AS WE HAVE IN THE PAST THIS TEAM HE COLLECTS THAT INFORMATION FINDS OUT ONE DAY MEET AND EVERYTHING AND THEN WE'LL SEND IT OUT TO EVERYBODY. SO EVERYBODY HAS THE SAME INFORMATION. I HAVE RECEIVED NO REQUESTS FROM ANY ORGANIZATION AT THIS TIME ASKING FOR LIAISON. WE USUALLY DO HAVE SOMEBODY ON PARK BOARD. PC BEING CHAMBER. MORE OBSCENE. ANYTHING ELSE? REALLY? AND THEN THERE'S THE WELL WE HAVEN'T PASSED THAT YET, BUT THERE'S THE NEW COMMITTEE FOR VC ME THAT I'LL HAVE A COUNCIL MEMBER ON I JUST PLAYED THAT'S DOUBLE B. YEAH, THAT WILL BE ASSIGNED DIFFERENTLY. THEN THE LIAISON C LIAISON IS JUST IF SOMEONE REQUESTS THAT A COUNCIL MEMBER BE PRESIDENT FOR THEIR ORGANIZATIONAL MEETINGS. WHAT NEW COMMITTEE FOR THE BCD. WELL IF WE WERE WE HAD THE DISCUSSION THAT WE MIGHT CREATE A COMMITTEE. TOM AND HE WAS ASKING IF WE CREATE A COMMITTEE. HOW DOES THAT DONE? IF I MAY? MR IT'S NOT CREATED. YEAH AND THE OTHER THING IS WHENEVER WE'RE DEALING WITH COMMITTEES, SPORTS COMMISSIONS AND EVERYTHING. OUR CHARTER IS PRETTY SPECIFIC ON THE APPOINTMENT POWERS WITH THE MAYOR, SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT GOING FORWARD. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DISCUSS WHAT THE COMPOSITION OF THAT'S GOING TO BE IN HOW THE APPOINTMENTS ARE FILLED. SO I THINK WE MIGHT BE GETTING THE CARD A LITTLE BIT ABOUT AHEAD OF THE HORSE HERE, SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE RULES OF COUNCIL. ASK FOR A SECOND TO ACCEPT THEM. BURGER. MR HOPE. YES. VERY YES. TWO SHOT KEY. YES, MR CIGARETTES. YES. MRS HOLT, THIS IS HELP.

UM ANY COMMENTS BEFORE WE ADJOURN THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING? WEIRD JOUR

          [Welcome & Reading of Agenda: President]
ORDINANCE, SEE 70 21 ORDINANCE, SEE 77 21 ORDINANCE, SEE 1 22. THIS ACCOUNTS. THIS ACCOUNTS FOR THE FIRST HEARING OF THESE ITEMS AND EVERYBODY OKAY WITH THE AGENDA ITEMS. THEY ARE. WE WILLR 
          [Ordinance C-70-21 Authorize the City Administrator to enter into Community Reinvestment Area Agreements to expand CRA #1. Second reading and public hearing.]
SHOCKEY. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. FIRST IS ORDINANCE. SEE 70 21, AN ORDINANCE TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO ENTER INTO A COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT AREA AGREEMENT TO EXPAND THE C R A NUMBER ONE. THIS ORDINANCE WAS POSTPONED FROM DECEMBER 20TH MEETING. I'D 
          [00:10:05]
LIKE TO CALL IN THE ADMINISTRATION JUST TO REVIEW THIS ORDINANCE SO THAT THE PUBLIC IS AWARE OF WHAT IT IS AND COUNCIL. WOULDN'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AFTER THANK YOU, MR SHARKEY. THIS IS KIND OF FOLLOW UP. I DON'T WANT TO GO OVER ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WHEN WE WERE ON LAST TIME AT THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETING, BUT WHAT WE DID IN THE INTERIM WAS KIND OF PULL TOGETHER. SOME OF THE MAJOR POINTS FROM THE MATERIALS PREPARED BY ARE THEY CAN DEVELOP CONSULTANT. SO I MEAN, ESSENTIALLY, I WANT TO CONVEY THAT THE SIERRA WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE STATE AND THAT REALLY IS ONE OF OUR BEST DEVELOPED TOOLS TO ATTRACT COMPANIES TO OHIO. IT WAS PROVIDED BY THE STATE THAT ALLOWS US TO BE MORE COMPETITIVE NOT ONLY WITHIN THE REGION, BUT OTHER STATES. SO IT'S A PLAYER BEST TOOL WE HAVE BEING SUCCESSFUL OR ABNORMAL PROGRAM BRINGING PEOPLE TO BRING COMPANIES TO THIS PART OF THE OF THE COUNTY. THE CHART BELOW WHAT WE DID WE POINT THE FOUR FOR EXAMPLES. SO WHAT WE DID HERE WAS TO THE FIRST COLUMN TALKS ABOUT THE REAL ESTATE TAXES DEBATED SO THAT FIRST COLUMN IS THE TOTAL PAYMENT. PROVIDED FOR THE DURATION OF 15 YEARS. THE SECOND COLUMN OVER KIND OF REVENUES HAVE GENERATED FOLLOWING THE BURN OFF OF THAT. THAT'S YOUR AND THE THIRD COLUMN OVER IS THAT THE ANNUAL EDITION WE RECEIVED THROUGH PROPER TAX REVENUES, AND THE FOURTH COLUMN OVER THERE IS OR THE INCOME TAXES THROUGH THE WITHHOLDING FROM THE 2% OF WORKERS' WAGES. 
          AND I MEAN, WE GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR BIG GUNS. HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU SHOW THE VALUE OF THE BASEMENT? HOW DO YOU SHOW THAT DEVELOPED WOULDN'T OCCUR WITHOUT THE PAYMENT. SO WHAT I DID TODAY WAS I WENT THROUGH AND LOOKED AT THE YEAR THE SIERRA WAS ESTABLISHED, AND THE YEAR THAT THE DESTRUCTION WAS BUILT. AND FOR THOSE FOUR, YOU CAN GO BACK ONCE LIGHTS ARE FOR THE FOR EXAMPLE, THAT WE HAVE HERE KNOWS MANUFACTURERS WERE BUILT PRIOR TO THE INCEPTION OF THE SIERRA BEING DEVELOPED FOR THE CITY. SO I MEAN, JUST BRIEFLY. IF YOU LOOK AT THE FIRST YEAR AGAIN THE FIRST COLUMN $12 MILLION ESSENTIALLY HAS BEEN ABATED FOR THE TERM OF THOSE 15 YEARS FOR THIS WAR COMPANIES. POST WE RECEIVED $23 MILLION, SO WE'RE NOT POSITIVE $10 MILLION. THIS POINT AND EVERY YEAR ROUND $2.2 MILLION TO THAT ROAD TO STRENGTHEN THE SCHOOLS. AFTER THE SCHOOLS BUT FOR OUR PARTNERS, INCLUDING THE CITY. 
          AND THEN, ADDITIONALLY ON THE FOURTH COLUMN THERE $3.6 MILLION. AS RECEIVED ANNUALLY FROM THOSE FOUR COMPANIES COMPOSING 16% OF OUR ECONOMY, SO I CAN'T SIT HERE AND SAY THAT DEVELOPMENT OCCUR WITHOUT SIERRA IS, BUT THAT IS, I THINK. DEMONSTRATE BY THOSE NUMBERS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF OUR PROGRAM. ON THE SECOND SLIDE. OR TALKING BEFORE YOU MOVE ON. CAN I ASK THEM THIS ONE? UNDER JUST SO I HAVE IT. BUT IN MY MIND, I'M HERE. WHEN WE DO A 15 YEAR CR, RIGHT, 15 YEARS HERE, WE ACTUALLY AT THE END OF THE 15 YEARS, THEN WE START COLLECTING THE REAL ESTATE TAXES ON THE IMPROVEMENTS BECAUSE PRIOR TO THAT THOSE AREAS THAT THOSE FOUR WERE IN WERE PROBABLY VACANT LAND. OR MAYBE THEY HAD A HOUSE ON IT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO WE WIND UP COLLECTING MORE TAXES. ON THERE EVERY YEAR. AFTER THAT, WE CONTINUE TO COLLECT REAL ESTATE TAXES, BUT WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS GENERATING JOBS. BETTER DEAD ARE GENERATING INCOME TAX FOR THE CITY. WHICH 16% OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF THESE FOUR FOR TOTAL INCOME FOR INCOME TAX AND NONE OF THOSE ARE PUTTING STUDENTS IN THE SCHOOLS. AND NONE OF THOSE ON THERE. ARE DOING ANYTHING OTHER THAN GENERATING REVENUES FOR US. I THINK EVERYBODY JOBS. 
          FOR OUR CITIZENS. IT'S IMPORTANT , THOUGH, THAT ONE OF PROBABLY PUTTING THE SIERRA THERE'S STILL UNDERLYING LAYING VALUE THAT'S BEING TAXED. ONCE THE THEORY IS FILED BECAUSE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS WERE DONE THAT UNDERLYING LAND VALUE STILL COLLECTING TAXES, SO WE'RE NOT FOR GOING ALL TAXES. IT'S JUST ON THE INCREMENTAL INCREASE BECAUSE OF THE PRIVATE INVESTMENT. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE COMPONENT BEING ABATED FOR 15 YEARS. SO AS LONG AS YOU'RE EVERYONE'S TEACHER EVERYONE APPEARS AWARE ABOUT JUST FOR THE AUDIENCES. I KNOW CARL AND NOT NECESSARILY KNOW THIS. BUT WHEN HE MADE THE STATEMENT THAT WE DON'T KNOW IF THOSE COMPANIES WERE LOCATED OR NOT. I'LL GIVE YOU TWO EXAMPLES. TOAST SO WAS READY TO MOVE TO HEAR OHIO IN 1990. WE WERE ABLE TO CONVINCE FACILITY TO CARVE OUT PROPERTY AND TO GIVE THEM TAX ABATEMENT. 
          [00:15:08]
IN A PAIR AND THEY'VE BEEN HERE ALL THAT TIME. WALMART WE WERE COMPETING WITH 12 OTHER COMMUNITIES NOT ONLY IN OHIO, WHETHER EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HERE. PENDANT NOT HAVE BEEN A BIG SO THOSE ARE TWO CASES WHERE I CAN SWEAR 100% 100 BIBLES THAT THEY WOULD NOT IN THE PRIOR TO TOAST SO BECOMING TOAST, SO THEY WERE VERY ESPECIALLY MEDALS, OVERALL GROWTH CITY ROAD AND THEY WERE HERE AND THEY WERE READY TO MOVE. RIGHT, CORRECT, OKAY? ON THE SECOND SLIDE HERE EVERY YEAR. WE GO BEFORE THE TAX INCENTIVE REVIEW COUNCIL AND WHAT WE'RE SHOWING HERE IS THE INFORMATION WE REPORT TO THAT COMMITTEE OR COUNCIL EVERY YEAR . SO IN 2020, WE NOTED THAT 13 OF MEETINGS WOULD BE FALLING OFF. AND THEN I WOULDN'T DRAW SPECIAL ATTENTION. 2021. THERE'S SEVEN BEINGS ARE ASPIRING THE TOTAL VALUE. THERE'S ABATEMENTS AS $22 MILLION, SO IT'S A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF DOLLARS THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO OUR PARTNERS STARTING NEXT YEAR, BECAUSE AS WE ALL KNOW, INCOME. 
          TIRED. THEY'RE REAL ESTATE TAXES ARE COLLECTED YEAR BEHIND SO WE DID THIS NOT THESE ARE NOT ASSUMPTIONS OR ANYTHING. THESE ARE ACTUAL FILE ABATEMENTS WE HAVE AND IT SHOWS YOU KIND OF BURN OFF. TILL 2026 BY 2026 LEFT 48. FIRING FERTILE $56 MILLION, SO IT'S. IT'S NOT A SMALL NUMBER AND TO THE RIGHT WE HAVE THE DISTRIBUTIONS TO OUR MAJOR TAXING PARTNERS. BUT THEN I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT COUNCILS AWARE THAT SINCE LAST COUNCIL MEETING WE WANT TO MAKE SURE COUNCILS AWARE THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH THIS WACO WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN WORKING WITH WACO IN TERMS OF THE ZONING AS COUNSELOR WHERE THEY FILED RESULTING APPLICATION WITH THIS IT HAD A NUMBER OF USES THAT WE WERE ADVERSE TO. WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH THOSE, BUT IN THE LAST WEEK OR TWO, WE'VE BEEN TALKING THIS WAY COULD NOT ONLY IN TERMS OF THE USES BECAUSE THEY HAVE BROUGHT ON DUTY AS WELL AS EDGE GROUP AS PARTNERS AND CONSULTANTS TO SO WE CAN WORK THROUGH THEIR CONSULTANTS, AS WELL AS WACO TO COME TO SOME UNDERSTANDING ON THE ZONING ASPECT. BUT IN THE LAST WEEK OR TWO AND TODAY THE REAFFIRMED SWICK OF REAFFIRM TODAY THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED INTO THE SIERRA EFFORTS OF THE CITY'S UNDERGOING RIGHT NOW. SOE PARENT PREPARING A SEPARATE PIECE OF LEGISLATION FOR COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION ONE THE NEXT COUPLE MEETINGS BECAUSE, AS WE ALL KNOW, IT TAKES A WHILE FOR THE ACCUSATIONS TO BE FILED AND BECOME EFFECTIVE. SO IN THE INTERIM WE WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S AWARE THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH WE GO. TWO. TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S AWARE. 
          ESSENTIALLY, WE'RE ALL. TO WORK IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS WE COULD EVEN OFFERED TO HAVE US COME PRESENT. THE VIDEO THAT WE PRESENT PRESENTED COUNCIL LAST MEETING SO THERE THERE SEEMS TO BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH. THANK YOU. COUNCILOR QUESTIONS FOR KYLE BEFORE WE MOVE ON, MR BARRY. SO, KYLE. A LOT OF RESIDENTS HAVE, YOU KNOW ? ALWAYS QUESTION, YOU KNOW, ARE WE INVADING THIS FOR MORE RESIDENTS, WHICH IS GOING TO PUT MORE BURDEN ON OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND EVERYTHING. WHAT IS THE ANSWER TO THAT? SO I KNOW THERE'S DIFFERENT TIERS OF ABATEMENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT ARE DIFFERENT TIERS OF ABATEMENTS WITHIN AN ABATEMENT. 
          AND I SAYING THAT RIGHT? YEAH THE WAY THE CRS STRUCTURE IT'S EITHER A 15 YEAR 10 YEAR. EITHER WAY, IT'S 100% SO WITH THE NUMBER WHO PROVIDED YOU TONIGHT . I THINK THERE'S THREE RESIDENTIAL PARCELS THAT HAVE BEEN INVADED, BUT THE NUMBERS ARE SO MINOR, BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT THESE NEW ONES. SO ON THE NEW PROPOSAL PROPOSAL WILL ANY OF THESE, UM INNOVATED IF THEY PUT IN RESIDENTIAL NO THE WAY THE AGREEMENTS WERE STRUCTURED AS THERE IS A KIND OF A TIERED SYSTEM, SO IF ITS INDUSTRIAL THEY'D BE PROVIDED 100% OF DOCUMENT WHICH WILL BE CALLED BACK 15% SO ESSENTIALLY TALKING ABOUT 85 85% ABATEMENT. FOR OFFICE. IT WOULD BE REDUCED BY 50% SO IT'S 50% REVETMENT, AND THERE'S A CLAUSE WERE ALL OTHER USES. SO RESIDENTIAL FALL UNDER ALL OUR USES SO WELL TECHNICALLY PROVIDE A SIERRA INSIDE OF A CLAW BACK 100% OF WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ABATED SO ESSENTIAL. THERE IS NO VALUE TO DO IN THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AREA. 
          YES I JUST MADE MENTION IF I COULD PLACE THAT IN TERMS OF YOUR QUESTION ABOUT RESIDENTIAL ABATEMENT. THERE IS, IN FACT, A RESIDENTIAL ABATEMENT COMPONENT WITHIN ONE OF THE PARCELS, WHICH IS THE BUCKEYE RANGE, PURCELL. THAT CONTAINS THE 28 ACRE ABATEMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL MM PART OF THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THAT LANDOWNER. WAS THAT. THE LAND TO THE FRONT, WHICH IS COMMERCIAL. THERE'S A DAY CARE CENTER IN A MEDICAL BUILDING THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AREA SO THERE WOULD BE PAYING THE FULL TAX RATE. NOW THIS GENTLEMAN ALSO IN TERMS REMEMBER 
          [00:20:06]
THIS HAS BEEN AN 18 MONTH PROCESS TO TRY TO GET TOGETHER LAND OF APPROXIMATELY 800 ACRES. 
          THIS PARTICULAR ORDINANCE INCLUDES 238 ACRES OF WHICH, LIKE I SAY, 28 ACRES. WOULD BE ABATED IF THIS IS APPROVED FOR RESIDENTIAL USE. THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH HAS 94 ACRES AND HIS, KYLE SAID. THE AGREEMENT STATES THAT THEY'LL ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT TO BE IN A NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY. IF IN FACT COUNCIL WOULD APPROVE. THROUGH DEVELOPMENT PLAN OR REZONING PROCESS. RESIDENTIAL USE. THEY WOULD GET 100% TAX EVADING, HOWEVER. WITH THAT ABATEMENT WOULD DO IS THEY HAVE TO PAY 100% OF WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE PAID THE INCOME TAX INTO A NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITIES. SO IN EFFECT, THERE ISN'T THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY ANY ABATEMENT PER SE IN TERMS OF DOLLARS SO AND THAT'S TRUE WITH THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, ZUBER CROSSING PROPERTY OF 81 ACRES AND ALSO THE BARBIE PIECE, WHICH IS PRESENTLY ZONED FOR RESIDENTIAL, BUT HE HAS AGREED THAT IF IT'S IF HE DEVELOPS RESIDENTIAL E GET 100% GOES INTO A NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITIES WHICH WE BUILD IS A PLUS. AND AGAIN WITH THE BUCKEYE RANCH AS WE DISCUSSED, THE CITING YOUR PIECE CAME IN THE CITY COUNCIL ORGAN C 55 20. IT WAS PASSED. IN NOVEMBER OF 2020 SO OVER A YEAR AGO. AND. MUCH OF THAT 294 ACRES. IS ZONE INDUSTRIAL IN THE TOWNSHIP. WITH THAT PROPERTY OWNERS HAS AGREED TO DO TO BRING THAT IN RESIDENTIAL E AND WITHOUT WITHOUT THE BUCKEYE RANGE PIECE COMING IN THAT 28 ACRES. WE LOSE THAT 294 ACRES IN TERMS OF THE SITE IN YOUR PIECE. AND AS WE AS I MENTIONED THE LAST MEETING, WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF COLUMBUS. VERY UTILITIES. THAT WE CAN PROVIDE WATER AND SHIRT TO THE NORTH. IT'S 2 70. 
          WE'VE DEVELOPED ALL THAT AREA TO THE EAST SIDE OF THE RIVER, OF COURSE, NOW WITH THE METRO PARK THAT WE HAVE NO MORE LAND TO DEVELOP. THEIR TO THE WEST IS HOLDING ROAD. SO THIS IS OUR ONLY COMMERCE AREA LEFT AND GROWTH CITY. AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE PRESERVE IT FOR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. AND JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE IN TERMS OF WHY THAT'S SO IMPORTANT . WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF NEGOTIATING A CONTRACT WITH THE FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE. IF WE GIVE 3% RAISE FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS, WHICH IS NOT OUT OF LINE IN TERMS OF WHAT'S BEING NEGOTIATED WITHIN THE COUNTY. IN ORDER TO PAY FOR THAT. WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE 1100 JOBS. WITH AN AVERAGE SALARY OF $70,000. IF WE DON'T HAVE LAND IN THIS COMMUNITY DEVELOP WE WON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT POTENTIAL REVENUE SO FAMILY QUESTION I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER. 
          QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL. YEAH. KYLE, DID YOU NEED TO GO ON? GETTING CERTAINLY GOT A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO SIGNED UP TO SPEAK , AND THEN WE'LL OPEN QUESTIONS FOR THAT TO MR WICKS. HUNGER. 
          THIS FEATURE NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. ABSOLUTELY WICKS AND I'M FROM 2699 FAIR AVENUE AND BEXLEY, OHIO. AND I'M ALSO AGENT FOR W. M ONE CORPORATION, WHICH IS ONE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS APPEALING TO YOU THIS EVENING FOR THE ANNEXATION. UM AS WAS MENTIONED LAST WEEK. WE WERE MOVING FORWARD IN A DEVELOPMENT PLAN WITH THE TOWNSHIP AND WE'RE WORKING WITH SHANE OVER THERE. WE DID EXTENSIVE STUDIES FOR WITH ARCHITECTURAL LAND PLANNING . WE HAVE A SOIL STUDY DONE FOR SEPTIC AND WE HAVE A WELL ON SITE THAT WOULD BE ADEQUATE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. WE'RE PLANNING ON DEVELOPING IN SUCH A MANNER THAT SOMEDAY WHEN THE SEWER DID COME TO US, WE WILL BE ABLE TO TAP IN ANNEX TO THE CITY AT A LATER TIME. WE WERE STUFFED IN OUR TRACKS WHEN WE WERE PROPOSED WITH THE POTENTIAL ANNEXATION IN THE SIERRA. AND KIND OF WEIGHED THE PROS AND CONS OF THAT AND DECIDED TO STOP OUR DEVELOPMENT PLANS IN THE TOWNSHIP AND IN FAVOR OF THIS ANNEXATION AND THE SIERRA AND WE DID THE COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF THAT. AND IF YOU DEVELOP IN THE TOWNSHIP THEIR LOWER STANDARDS, AND SO IT'S CHEAPER TO DEVELOP TO DEVELOP IN THE CITY. IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE. AND YOU INCREASE YOUR TAXES, BUT YOU CAN MAYBE COME INTO HIGHER MARKETABILITY. SO AFTER EVALUATING ALL THAT WE DETERMINED THAT BECAUSE OF THE C R A. IT MADE THE MOST SENSE TO GO AHEAD AND ANNEX AND PURSUE THIS PATH. THAT'S WHERE WE ARE TODAY. SO I STAND IN SUPPORT OF THE C R A AND JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A BACKGROUND OF WHERE 
          [00:25:04]
WHAT WAS IN OUR DECISION MAKING PROCESS. THE SECOND THING I WOULD SAY IS TO THE RESIDENTS OF GROVE CITY LIVING IN BEXLEY. WEREN'T KIND OF LANDLOCKED. WE DON'T HAVE ANY INDUSTRIAL BASE. 
          I LIVE IN A MODEST HOME. WE RAISED THREE KIDS THERE, AND OUR TAXES ARE ABOUT 17,000 YEAR. YOU KNOW, IN THIS MODEST HOUSE. AND UM, WHAT A BLESSING. IT IS TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO DEVELOP, YOU KNOW, CITY HERE. WITH RESIDENTIAL INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS SIDE BY SIDE SMARTLY DEVELOPED AND THE RESIDENTS TRULY GET TO BENEFIT FROM THAT, SO I JUST WANT TO KIND OF POINT THAT AS WELL. THANK YOU, MR WILLIAMS. NEXT SPEAKER, PASTOR EASILY. IT WAS DAVE EARLY EARLY. I'M SORRY. 
          I'M A GROVE CITY RESIDENT AT 1972 TOURNAMENT WAY. REPRESENTING THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. 33 1, WORKERS READY AND, UM. I WANTED TO COME TO SAY THAT. UM FIRST OF ALL, I'M A FAN OF THE BRIDGE ACROSS THE ROAD BECAUSE I'VE. IN MY EXPERIENCE AS A PASTOR, BRIDGES, BUILD COMMUNITIES AND BRING THEM TOGETHER. AND SO I'M A FAN OF THAT. ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT, UM , THE LAND THAT IS BEING DISCUSSED HIS UNUSED OR UNDER USED AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT. 
          DEVELOPED. AND THE ABATEMENTS I THINK ARE GOING TO PROVIDE BETTER BUSINESSES THAT WILL PROVIDE BETTER JOBS. AND SO, UM WE ARE. A FAN OF BETTER JOBS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR FAN OF BETTER BUSINESSES AND A FAN OF BACK LAND THAT'S NOT BEING USED OR UNDER USED RIGHT NOW BEING USED IN MUCH MORE. PRODUCTIVE WAY SO WE ARE AS A CHURCH. IN FAVOR OF THE CRTS. ABSOLUTELY IF I CAN. I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM FOR OUR VIEWING AUDIENCE AT HOME. IS THIS? THIS IS THE AREA UP ON THE SCREEN THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. IT'S THE AREA FROM FROM THE ON THE ORDERS ROAD . YES BECAUSE ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE HIGHWAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY? ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL. DO WE HAVE ANY? MR SMITH APOLOGIZE. JUST ONE POINT OF CLARIFICATION LOOKING AT THIS MAP. I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR FOR THE FOLKS IN THE AUDIENCE. WE ARE ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE FOUR PARCELS THAT ARE IN EITHER PURPLE OR PINK, WHATEVER COLOR THAT IS IN ALL FOUR ARE CURRENTLY IN THE CITY. THIS ISN'T ABOUT BRINGING IN PARCELS FROM OUTSIDE THE CITY THERE. 
          IT'S ONLY THE FOUR PURPLE SLASH PINK THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE CITY. THANK YOU, SIR. MR FAKI? YES THIS ONE. MAKE SURE YOU COULD SEE ME. FROM DOWN HERE. I JUST WANTED TO AGAIN REALLY GET MY REASONING FOR WHERE I MY POSITION ON THIS ITEM VERY SIMILAR TO THE COMMENTS THAT I MADE. WE WERE LAST TOGETHER. APPRECIATE THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TONIGHT, AND I THINK THAT I HAVE TO GIVE SOME KUDOS TO MY COLLEAGUES FOR SAYING THAT WE WOULD GIVE THIS A LITTLE MORE TIME TO ALLOW FOR THAT COMMUNITY EDUCATION. I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. HOWEVER I STILL WANT TO GO BACK TO WHAT I SAY AND JUST BY WAY OF SUPPORTING MY OWN POSITION. FOR ME. THIS IS TWO PIECES OF LEGISLATION, ONE THAT WE ADDRESSED LAST TIME. THIS ONE HERE THIS EVENING WHERE THERAPY , SOME PIECES OF IT THAT I CAN'T GET BEHIND. AND I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE AGAIN. FOR THE RECORD. THE REALITY FOR ME IS, I THINK THEY'RE VERY DIFFERENT CONVERSATIONS ON ONE SIDE OF 71 VERSUS THE OTHER. I PHILOSOPHICALLY. SIERRA DESERVES A LOT MORE DISCUSSION THAN JUST A FINANCIAL DISCUSSION. AND I KNOW THAT THOSE ARE THE REPORTS THAT GIVE THE WILD FACTOR TO THE DECISION. BUT I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE CRITICAL ANALYSIS ON THIS ON THIS CONVERSATION AND THEN I JUST ALWAYS GO TO YOU KNOW IF YOU LOOK AT THE PARCELS THAT ARE OUTLINED HERE, UM WHAT MAKES ONE PERSONAL IN ONE PERSONAL NOT? UM, AND FOR ME AGAIN. BACK TO MY OWN PHILOSOPHICAL BELIEFS. GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE IN THE POSITION OF PICKING AND CHOOSING THE PEOPLE THAT BENEFIT FROM AN INCENTIVE LIKE THIS. AND SO I JUST STRUGGLED WITH IT. AND AGAIN, I SAID THIS LAST TIME JUST WANTED TO SAY IT AGAIN SO THAT YOU KNOW WHERE I'M COMING FROM. ANY OTHER COMMENT. IT LOOKS GOOD, THE PICKING AND CHOOSING WHAT. THE TAX ABATEMENT 
          [00:30:06]
AREA THAT WE'RE WORKING OFF. I THINK IS THE OLDEST ONE. ISN'T THAT KYLE? IT IS THE OLDEST TAX DEBATE WE HAVE IN THE CITY. WHICH ACTUALLY STARTED UP AT THE WE'RE TIRED OF POLITICS CURRENTLY LOCATED. AND IF WE HAD THAT OVERLAY ON HERE. IT'S PRETTY DRAMATIC AND LARGE AS WELL. SO THERE THERE WAS NO PICKING AND CHOOSING. WE MADE IT. IT HAS TO BE IN CONGRESS TO EXISTING SCIARRA. SO THE ONLY PICKING AND CHOOSING THAT ANYBODY WHO WANTED IN THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE OFFERED THE TAX ABATEMENT. AND IT WAS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE HAD DONE THROUGHOUT THAT WHOLE AREA, WHICH GOES BACK TO 1988. I BELIEVE 83 NOTHING ELSE. FOLKS I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ECONOMIC, UH DRIVER FOR OUR ECONOMY FOR JOBS JUST DOES NOT ADD ANY STUDENTS TO THE TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ON HERE. THIS IS STRICTLY FOR, UM, INCREASING THE AMOUNT. YOU KNOW WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THIS. THE CITY BRINGS IN ABOUT A LITTLE OVER $2 MILLION A YEAR FOR PROPERTY TAXES. THEY BRING IN ABOUT $28 MILLION FOR INCOME TAX, AND THOSE ARE JUST APPROXIMATIONS ON THERE. THIS IS GOING TO BE A JOB CREATOR. THIS IS GOING TO BE PLACES THAT ARE GOING TO EMPLOY AND PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GROUPS CITY WHO DON'T LIVE IN THE AREA WHO COME IN FROM OUTSIDE THE AREA THAT ARE GOING TO WIND UP USING THE GAS STATIONS. HE'S A RESTAURANTS, THAT TYPE OF THING. AND THE OTHER PART ABOUT THIS IS THAT WE HAVE OVER 10 YEARS AGO. UM. WE HAVE IMPROVED THE AREA OVER THERE, UM, NORTH OF THE SWEET COLD LANDFILL. WE PUT IN ROADS WE PUT IN SEWERS AND WE PUT IN WATER. HOW HAVE YOU NOTICED ANY DEVELOPMENT IN THAT 10 YEARS OVER THERE? UM HAVE YOU NOTICED OTHER AREAS IN OUR CITY SUCH OFF AGAINST ROAD? UM OFF OF THREE C OVER DIFFERENT AREAS HAVE HAD DAY IN THE LAST 10 YEARS DEVELOP. AND BUSINESS IS GONE IN THERE AND YEAH, AND I WONDER WHAT THE WONDER WHY. THE APARTMENT ACROSS THE ACROSS THE 6 65 ON THE NORTH SIDE HASN'T DEVELOPED AT ALL. AND IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY ECONOMIC INCENTIVES RIGHT THERE. AND BESIDES, THAT, WE'VE PAID OVER AND MR ATTORNEY CAN CORRECT ME ON THIS, BUT I BELIEVE IT'S OVER $1.5 MILLION TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. IN THEIR TIME FRAME FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT ON THERE, SO WHEN I LOOK AT THIS , I LOOK AT IT AS AN ECONOMIC ENGINE TO HELP STIMULATE DEVELOPMENT IN AN AREA THAT IS DIFFICULT TO DEVELOP. AND THAT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE. SOMETHING YOU KNOW THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM AND SUITE. SO THERE NOTHING WRONG WITH SWEET CO. THEY DO A GREAT JOB, BUT IT IS AWFULLY HARD TO GET PEOPLE CAN BUSINESSES TO COME IN OPPOSITE COLLEGE. SO. THIS THIS ORDINANCE HAS HAD ITS SECOND READING, PUBLIC HEARING OR MOVING APPROVED. BACK IN. YES. MR HOLT ? YES, THIS IS HOW I KNOW MR SHOT KEY? YES. STIR SEGRIST.

PIECE AT THE TOP AND ALSO THE LAND THAT'S AROUND THAT'S AROUND THE SOUTHERN SOUTHERN BORDER. IS THAT CORRECT? OR THE BOOT IS THAT THE CONDOS FACE OFF OF THAT AND CONTINUE TO THE NORTH. WRAP AROUND TO THE EAST SOUTH OF THE STREAM. THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU. OKAY, THERE'S FOUR DISTINCT GEOGRAPHY. WITHIN THIS AREA. THERE'S NOT ONE SOLID PIECES FOUR SEPARATE SITES FOR CENTERPIECES.
