[Ordinance C-07-22 Authorize the City Administrator to enter into a Community Reinvestment Area Agreement/New Community Authority Agreement with Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio. Second reading and public hearing.]

ADMINISTRATOR TO ENTER INTO COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT AREA AGREEMENT IN NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY AGREEMENT WITH THE SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY OF CENTRAL OHIO. ON THERE, AND. MR ROCK HARD DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THIS FOR US. YES, JUST JUST VERY BRIEFLY. JUST THE COUNCIL IS AWARE OF. THIS IS 125 ACRES ON THE NORTH SIDE. PRIMARILY NORTHSIDE 65. THIS GOES ALONG WITH HER EFFORTS THAT WE'VE BEEN TAKING ON OVER THE PAST 18 MONTHS CHARGER LANDOWNERS TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF OUR EFFORTS TO EXPAND THE CR A ONE FLIGHT ON TIME AND THE FOR THE PURPOSE OF ECHOING DOWN AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. UH WE'VE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS ON GOING TO SPEAK AT THE SAME TIME. AS WELL AS WITH THE OTHER LANDOWNERS PRIMARILY WOULDN'T TALK TO SLAKE OF CONCURRENTLY WITH THEIR DESIRES TO DO A REZONING APPLICATION FOR THE NORTHERN 360 ACRES ON NORTH SIDE 65. WE'RE STILL ENGAGED WITH THIS WEEK ON THE TRAFFIC STUDY OF BUT BEFORE COUNCIL NIGHT, WE'RE TALKING STRICTLY ABOUT THE CR AGREEMENT. AND WHAT THIS WILL DO THIS ER AGREEMENT AS IN FRONT OF COUNSEL KNIGHT IS FOR 125 ACRES, WHICH WILL MAKE THE ENTIRETY OF THIS WEEK OF PROPERTY WITHIN GROUPS CITY SUBJECT TO THE SIERRA. COUPLE POINTS OF CLARIFICATION. YES WACO IS WILLING TO INTRODUCE THE AGREEMENT SUBJECT TO THE SWITCHBOARD APPROVING THIS AGREEMENT AS WELL. SO WITH COUNCIL APPROVAL IS STILL HAS TO BE APPROVED BY SALENKO IN ORDER TO BE EFFECTIVE. AND THEN THERE'S ONE CAVEAT. THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER AGREEMENTS , AND THAT THIS WACO WE LIKE TO HAVE ONE BOARD REPRESENTATION ON THE N C. A. THAT HAS ALSO BEEN ESTABLISHED AS PART OF EFFORTS DOWN IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE CITY. SO WITH THAT. AGAINST YOUR QUESTION. MR ASHWOOD, YOU JUST RECAP. WHAT FOR THE AUDIENCE THAT THEY HADN'T BEEN HERE FOR A PREVIOUS ONES ON THERE. WHAT IS A COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT AREA ACTUALLY DO FOR DEVELOPMENT. AND WHAT IS THE NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY? THEN JUST A REAL BRIEF. OKAY SIERRA IS ONE OF THE CITY'S MOST POWERFUL INCENTIVES IN TERMS OF WHAT'S BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE STATE. THE STATE I OWN TOOL THAT MAKES US MORE COMPETITIVE OR MIXES WITH OTHER REGIONS OF CITIES. OTHER CITIES ESSENTIALLY WHAT IT PROVIDES IS A TAX ABATEMENT FOR EITHER 10 YEAR 15 YEAR TERM. ON REAL PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS, SO THOSE PEOPLE INVEST IN THE COMMUNITY WOULD RECEIVE AN INITIAL BEAT MINT FOR EITHER 10 YEARS OR 15 YEARS. BASICALLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING, UH, FOR THE 15 YEARS, AND ONCE THAT BURNS OFF, THEY WILL BE PAYING THE FULL AMOUNT. AS WELL AS OTHERS IN SYRIA IS BEING LAYERED IN THEIR CITY STANDS FOR A NEW COMMUNITY, THOR ITTY, AND WHAT THAT REALLY DOES ALLOW US TO KIND OF CLAW BACK SOME OF THE BENEFITS. TO BE USED FOR FINANCING AND FUNDING PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. SO IN THIS AREA THERE'S A 15. RECAPTURING A 15% FOR INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS 50% FOR OFFICE IN 100% FOR RESIDENTIAL SO IF A RESIDENT PROJECT GOES DOWN IN THE AREA, THEY WILL ESSENTIALLY GET NO BENEFIT. BECAUSE ALL THE DOLLARS WE WILL BE SECURED BY THE CIA FUN. SO IN ESSENCE, THE SCIARRA. IS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION ON THE AREA. THE UNDERLYING PROPERTY VALUE OF THE

[00:25:09]

LAND IS STILL TAXABLE AT THE NORMAL RATES. CORRECT IT'S ONLY ON THE IMPROVEMENT, THE INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENT. AND THIS IS WHY THE COUNTER AND THEN THE WHO WILL PAY FOR BACK CHARGED BACK TO PAY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE, ROADS, WATER SEWERS. FIBER ANY OF THOSE PARTICULAR PARKS TRAILS THAT WE NEED TO DO ON THAT AREA?

CHART. DEALING WITH THE TAX INCENTIVE PACKAGE OFFERED IN ORDINANCE CEO 7 22. THIS CHART GOES A LONG WAY TOWARDS SHOWING THE PROS AND CONS. OF THE PROPOSED TAX INCENTIVE. I HOPE THE ADMINISTRATION DEVELOPED SIMILAR CHARTS FOR ANY TAX INCENTIVES IT PROPOSES IN THE FUTURE. SUCH EASY TO READ ANALYSES WILL GO OR GIVE THE PUBLIC A MUCH FULLER PICTURE. OF THE TAX INCENTIVES. THE TYPE OF ANALYSIS THIS CHART REPRESENTS SHOULD BE USED AS A BEST PRACTICE IS STANDARD FOR OTHER MUNICIPALITIES IN FRANKLIN COUNTY AND THROUGHOUT OHIO WHEN THEY CONSIDER TAX INCENTIVES.

BETTER. I KNOW THAT I'VE TALKED TO THE MAYOR, THE ADMINISTRATION IN COUNC MY LAW FIRM REPRESENTS A BUNCH OF CITIES. WE HAVE ENACTED ORDINANCES IN MANY OF THOSE PLACES. FOR THOSE OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS DUBLIN, ETCETERA. WE HAVE LOOKED AT THIS AND WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF A REVIEW OF OUR ENTIRE CHAPTER, 1 61, WHICH IS OUR EMPLOYMENT PROVISION. AND WE PLAN ON BRINGING BACK A. A STRONGER ORDINANCE THAN WHAT YOU SEE TODAY. THIS WAS A FIRST DRAFT, BUT AFTER GOING THROUGH AND LOOKING AT OTHER COMMUNITIES AND HOW THEY ARE ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES, WE WANT MORE TIME TO DO IT CORRECTLY. SO I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO THINK THAT BY WITHDRAWING THIS TODAY. IT ISN'T THAT THERE ISN'T SUPPORT OR A NEED TO DO SO. WE JUST THINK WE CAN DO IT BETTER. SO THANK YOU. OR ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCILMAN MR SMITH. SECTION 1 61 15. THAT IS THAT DEALS WITH OUR EMPLOYEES. IS THAT IT? COULD YOU GIVE JUST YES, SIR. SOON YES , CHAPTER 1. 61 IS OUR EMPLOYMENT PROVISIONS THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO CITY EMPLOYEES HAVE BASICALLY THIS IS THE THING THAT THE CITY CANNOT DUE TO ITS OWN EMPLOYEES. IT IS NOT BROADER THAN THAT WHICH IS ONE OF THE AREAS WE WISH TO LOOK AT, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY PROTECTIONS THAT WE ARE CONTEMPLATING, YOU KNOW, FRANKLY, SHOULD BE BROADER THAN JUST TO OUR EMPLOYEES. SO WE ARE AND YOU KNOW, I THINK MR BARROSO SAID, GRADED IN CAUCUS. THESE ARE THINGS WE WOULD NEVER DO. BUT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS CLEAR ON WHAT'S ACCEPTABLE AND WHAT IS NOT SO THIS RIGHT NOW. 1 61 15 WOULD JUST BE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES. HOWEVER ONCE AGAIN, I THINK IN TALKING TO EVERYONE WE'RE GOING TO DO BETTER AND YOU'LL SEE THAT COMING FORWARD. THANK YOU. I WOULD MR.

JUST MOVING ALONG, THEN. NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS RESOLUTION CR 06 THAT YOU TO FORM A GROSS CITY DIVERSITY ADVISORY TASK FORCE. AGAIN MISS. HOW IS THE ORIGINATOR? WE'RE GOING TO GO PROCEED WITHOUT HER HERE TONIGHT WITH THIS AND WE HAVE, UM, A CHANCE FOR COUNCIL HAVE SOME DISCUSSION OR COMMENTS AND THEN WE KNOW WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE HERE LINED UP. THEY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. YOU SHOULD BE PEOPLE DO THE LIST FIRST? YEAH, OKAY. GREAT SO WE'RE WE HAVE SOME MEMBERS IN THE AUDIENCE, AND I BELIEVE ONLINE THAT WANT TO SPEAK AS A PREFERENCE ON ONLINE FIRST OR CAN WE GO ONLINE? FIRST, JUST KIND OF I KNOW FOR SURE.

YES THAT WOULD BE GREAT. OK, COME BACK TO YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO, JEFFREY TAD LOCK IF HE'S HERE AND. SO JEFFREY PADLOCK 46 95 HOME BRIDGE COURT JUST TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT RAP ADVISORY TASK FORCE RESOLUTION THAT'S IN FRONT OF US. OKAY. I'M JEFFREY TAD LOCK, PRO CITY RESIDENT SMALL BUSINESS OWNER HERE IN TOWN. UH, KIDS. ONE COULD GRADUATE SOUTHWESTERN CITY SCHOOLS, THEIR LONDON SOUTHWESTERN CITY SCHOOLS , SO LOVE GROUP CITY THE WHOLE DAY. I JUST WANNA SAY WELCOME THIS RESOLUTION. I THINK IT'S A POSITIVE STEP. I THINK IT'S A GOOD STEP. FOR THE CITY TO TAKE TO START TO INVESTIGATE THESE DIVERSITY CONCERNS. I THINK AS THE WORLD CHANGES AND THE CLIMATE CHANGES, THAT'S IMPORTANT, TOO. SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN COMMUNITY AND MAKE SURE TO LOOK AT OTHER PEOPLE'S PERSPECTIVES. AND I SURE STAND HERE AS MY DAUGHTER, MY YOUNGEST AS A FRESHMAN IN GROUP CITY HIGH SCHOOL, AND SHE'S TRANS AND SO SHE LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

AND INTER ACTUAL DIFFERENT. UM SO I SEE IT ON A DAILY BASIS. HOW BOTH THE SCHOOL INTERACTS

[00:35:04]

WITH HER, HER CLASSMATES SOME THINGS AS WELL AS JUST THE COMMUNITY. SO IF WE GO OUT TO EAT EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, SO WHEN YOU'RE AROUND THAT YOU SEE SOME THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON AS A WHITE MALE. WHEN I WALK AROUND THE STREET, I DON'T NECESSARILY SEE SO. I THINK IT'S WORTH INVESTIGATING TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE THINGS BETTER. UM, AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, UM THE OTHER PIECE. IT'S EASY TO CHALK THAT UP TO UM, IT'S JUST A SCHOOL THING, BUT I HAD A FRIEND BOUGHT A HOUSE OVER HERE. THE BIG YELLOW HOUSE IS PASSING TRACKS. WHO IS FROM BRAZIL, AND HE CAME HERE. AND HE LEFT BECAUSE THERE WAS JUST THINGS GOING ON THE LITTLE THINGS THAT IT JUST WASN'T A WELCOMING COMMUNITY, SO I THINK WE DO NEED TO TAKE SOME TIME TO STUDY SOME OF THIS TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT AS THE COMMUNITY GROWS, ESPECIALLY, WE WANT TO PULL IN SOME TECH MORE BUSINESS. THAT'S GOING TO COME WITH DIVERSITY. THE TECH WORLD'S VERY DIVERSE MY FRIEND ACTUALLY WORK FOR GOOGLE. PROFESSIONAL REMOTE WORKER. I MEAN, THAT'S THE KIND OF PEOPLE WE WANT. BUT THERE'S JUST SOME INTERACTIONS. I THINK WE CAN AS A CITY DO BETTER TO MAKE THINGS EASIER ON THAT FRONT. UM AND. I'LL JUST CLOSE OUT SAYING I WAS MISS HELP WAS HERE SO I CAN THANK HER FOR INTRODUCING THIS PIECE. BUT AS A COUNCIL, I HOPE YOU GUYS VOTE FOR THIS TO PASS. THIS NEVER HURTS TO INVESTIGATE AND YOU KNOW, HAVE A TASK FORCE THAT TALKS ABOUT THESE THINGS, TALKS WITH SOME OF THE MARGINALIZED AND SEE WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON OUT THERE BECAUSE, LIKE, SIT FOR ME SOME OF THESE THINGS SURPRISING, ESPECIALLY MY FRIEND FROM BRAZIL. I NEVER PICKED UP ON ANY OF THAT, BECAUSE I CAN WALK ANYWHERE AND YOU KNOW, MIDDLE AGED WHITE MALE AND NOTHING. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING. BUT I THINK A TASK FORCE BEING ESTABLISHED WOULD BE USEFUL. AND I THINK A POSITION TO DROP CITY WELL FROM A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE , JUST AS WE STARTED PULLING THOSE FIGURE TECH CORPORATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT DIVERSITY THAT STARTS TO COME IN OR THE YOU KNOW THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT START TO COME IN AND WE DON'T WANT THANKS FOR POSITIONS. WELCOME. SO, THANK YOU. I HOPE YOU VOTE FOR. THANK YOU AGAIN, DANIEL DAVIS. AND I SHOULD NOTE MR SECRETS THAT DANIEL IS A SUPERSTAR OVER AT THE VISITOR'S BUREAU. NO PRESSURE, RIGHT CAN HERE WE DO. WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE. MY NAME IS DANIEL DAVIS . THE ADDRESS OF 3995 BROADWAY.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TODAY. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT ORDINANCE. SORRY BOTH THE ORGANS AND THE RESOLUTION. BUT, UM THE REGULAR ONE IS THE RESOLUTION CR 06 21 AND HOPE FOR A UNANIMOUS AFFIRMATIVE VOTE. I PRESUME YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH ME, AT LEAST AND TOTALLY. I DID NOT EXPECT SO MANY PEOPLE BEHIND ME, BUT SINCE THEY'RE BEHIND ME, I'LL JUST IGNORE THEM. I AM DANIELLE DAVIS. I LIVE IN WORKING GROUPS CITY. I'M A GRADUATE GRADUATE FROM THE GROCERY CLASS KIRSTY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 2000 AND SEVEN AND ALTHOUGH I HAD NO PART IN IT PERSONALLY, I DO BELIEVE IT WAS THE CLASSIC HUSBAND, SEVEN THAT REIGNED VICTORIOUS IN THE MOST RECENT ONE NIGHT TOURNAMENT, SO JUST SAYING I'M A WIFE. I'M A DOG, MOM. AND MORE RECENTLY A HUMAN MOM. I'M A SISTER ENTERED WOMAN AND I'M TRANSSEXUAL. I'M PROUD DAUGHTER OF A CAMBODIAN REFUGEE. THESE ARE ALL IMPORTANT PARTS OF MY IDENTITY THAT SHAPED MY INDIVIDUALITY. I LOOK UP TODAY. AND I DON'T SEE THE UNIQUENESS OF MY BACKGROUND OR MY CORE IDENTITY REPRESENTED IN THE LEADERSHIP IN THE DIVERSITY GOVERNMENT. I DON'T SEE MY OVERALL LIFE EXPERIENCES.

THERE'S SOMETHING TO SHARE AND STATISTICALLY THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED. GROVE CITY IS 90% CAUCASIAN AND PRESUMABLY PREDOMINANTLY HETEROSEXUAL INSIST GENDERED. BUT WHEN YOU'RE THE PERCEIVED DEFAULT AND STATUS QUO, THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU JUST DON'T ENCOUNTER THAT ARE STEADFAST REALITY. IN OTHER COMMUNITIES. THIS BECOMES A BLIND SPOT, AND THAT IS WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE A COMMUNITY DIVERSITY ADVISORY. TASK FORCE. TO BRING THE CITIZENS WITHIN THOSE MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES TO THE TABLE TO SURE THAT EVERY CITIZEN IN GROSS CITY FEEL SAFE AND WELCOME. I AM MORE THAN HAPPY ABOUT THIS TASK FORCE. I AM THRILLED, EXCITED AND ANXIOUS TO BE A PART OF THAT CONVERSATION. I HAVE OFTEN FELT RESIGNED TO MY IDENTITY BEING OVERLOOKED OR FORGOTTEN. AND NOW AS A MOM, I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD ABOUT HOW I DON'T WANT MY SON TO GROW UP IN THIS GREAT CITY FEELING THAT WAY. OPENING THE DOOR AND HAVING THESE DISCUSSIONS IS NOT A SOLUTION FOR NEW PHENOMENON. IN CURRENT TIMES, IT IS LONG OVERDUE. I'VE LIVED IN GROSS CITY SINCE I WAS THREE AND I'VE BEEN CAMBODIAN AND PAN SEXUAL ALONG. I HOPE YOU ALL AGREE WITH ME. AND WHAT ALL THE CITIZENS IN THIS COMMUNITY FEELS SAFE. WELCOME AND LOVED.

I'D LIKE TO CLOSE WITH A QUOTE BY ARTHUR CHAN, A DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION STRATEGISTS , HE SAID. DIVERSITY IS AFFECT EQUITY IS A CHOICE. INCLUSION IS AN ACTION. BELONGING IS AN OUTCOME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME . THANK YOU. DANIELLE UH, MISS JERRY HUE COOGAN. HI JERRY.

[00:40:16]

UGANDAN 66 62 BOROUGH ROAD GROWTH CITY. UM I AM THE ADVISER OF THE STRAIGHT AND GAY ALLIANCE CLUB AT GROVE CITY HIGH SCHOOL, ALSO KNOWN AS SAGA CLUB. I'M HERE THIS EVENING TO READ TO YOU A COUPLE OF LETTERS FOR SOME CLUB MEMBERS. THEY WISH THAT THEY COULD BE HERE PERSONALLY.

BUT NOT ALL OF THIS OTHER CLUBS , STUDENTS ARE OUT TO THEIR PARENTS OR TO THE PUBLIC. THEY FEAR FOR THEIR SAFETY. AND THIS IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO HEAR FROM THEM, IN THEIR OWN WORDS. MY FIRST LETTER IS FROM A STUDENT WHO IDENTIFIES AS TRANS. MY NAME IS KATE AND BOWMAN. I AM A 15 YEAR OLD WHO HAS LIVED IN GROVE CITY FOR EIGHT YEARS. I AM ALSO A TRANSGENDER MALE. DURING MY TIME LIVING HERE OF EXPERIENCED A MULTITUDE OF HURTFUL AND TERRIFYING EVENTS JUST BECAUSE OF HOW I WAS BORN. I'VE HAD PEOPLE AT MY SCHOOL HARASSED ME.

TAKE PHOTOS OF ME ASKED ME INVASIVE QUESTIONS AND EVEN HAD HAD HATEFUL SLURS USED AGAINST ME. OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL. ME AND MY OTHER TRANSGENDER FRANCE CONTINUE TO FACE HARASSMENT.

LAST JULY, ME AND MY TRANSGENDER FRIEND WERE WALKING DOWN STRING TOWN ROAD. SHE WAS WEARING A SKIRT AND I HAD A MASCULINE CLOTHES ON AS WELL AT A STOP THAT CAR PULLS UP IN AN OLDER MAN AND A WOMAN BEGAN SCREAMING AT US. HE CALLS US DISGUSTING FREAKS AND USES THE ELSEWHERE AGAINST HIS MULTIPLE TIMES, WHILE FLIPPING IS THE MIDDLE FINGER AS A GROUP OF YOUNG TEENAGERS ALONE AND THAT BEING LATE IN THE DAY WE WERE VERY SCARED. WELL THIS TIME WE ENDED UP SAFE NEXT TIME COULD BE DIFFERENT. THIS CITY HAS A LOT TO WORK ON, AND I HOPE MY VOICE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO GROWTH CITY BECOMING A SAFER PLACE FOR ME AND MY COMMUNITY. THE SECOND LETTER. ME AND MY FRIENDS GET FOOD THROWING IT DOES ALMOST EVERY DAY DURING LUNCH. IT'S EITHER CHEEZ ITS GRAPES, PRETZELS, CARROTS, ANYTHING THEY HAVE ON HAND. ANOTHER THING IS MY PARENTS ARE HOMOPHOBIC TOWARDS MY LGBTQ, PLUS FRIENDS MAKING TRANS JOKES PURPOSE BOOK.

PURPOSEFULLY MISJUDGE ENDURING THEM. THEY ALSO SAY THE F WORD AND THE T WORD. MY BROTHER ALSO SAYS THE T WORD AND THE F WORD EVEN THOUGH I TOLD HIM MULTIPLE TIMES TO NOT SAY THOSE WORDS WHEN HE IS GAY OR TRENDS. SEEING MY PARENTS WERE CONSTANTLY SHAMING THE LGBT Q AND NOT RESPECTING THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY. I GET UPSET AT THE LACK OF LGBTQ PLUS SUPPORT IN MY COMMUNITY. I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO BE MYSELF AND I AM FEARFUL OF TELLING PEOPLE WHO I AM. AND WHAT I IDENTIFY AS AND THE LAST LETTER. BACK IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, I WOULD GET PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS AND BE CALLED SLURS. IT WAS NEAR TO IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE FRIENDS AND FEEL SAFE IN THIS COMMUNITY, SINCE IT STILL ISN'T NORMALIZED. I'VE EVER HEARD PEOPLE AT TIMES , THREATENING TO BEAT UP THE GAY KIDS. I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED PEOPLE COMPLETELY REFUSING TO BE MY FRIEND BECAUSE I CAME OUT TO THEM TO ADD ON SOCIETY HAS NORMALIZED THAT GAY IS WRONG AND WEIRD. LGBTQ PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE ASHAMED TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES AND FEEL SAFE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY IT TOOK A LOT OF COURAGE FOR THESE STUDENTS TO WRITE THESE LETTERS. UM THE CO ADVISOR NOT ONLY GOT THESE FEW LETTERS BECAUSE THE STUDENTS ARE CHALLENGED BY DAY AND IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THEM AT MOST TIMES. FOR STUDENTS IN THE LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY. SUICIDE IS THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE AGED 10 TO 24 THAT LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER, QUEER AND QUESTIONING YOU ALRIGHT, SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED RISK. LGBTQ YOUTH OR MORE THAN FOUR TIMES AS LIKELY TO ATTEMPT SUICIDE THAN THEIR PEERS. STATISTICS ESTIMATE THAT MORE THAN 1.8 MILLION LGBTQ YOUTH 13 TO 24 SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED SUICIDE EACH YEAR IN THE US, AND AT LEAST ONE ATTEMPT SUICIDE EVERY 45 SECONDS. LGBTQ YOUTH OR NOT INHERENTLY PRONE TO SUICIDE RISK BECAUSE OF THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR GENDER IDENTITY, BUT RATHER PLACES HIGHER RISK BECAUSE OF HOW THEY ARE MISTREATED AND STIGMATIZED IN SOCIETY. SO THIS IS THE FUTURE OF GROWTH CITY AND THEIR OWN WORDS. I THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. COUNTRY SO VERY MUCH.

MISS BECKER. RIGHT SO MY NAME IS KATHY KALLEN BECKER FOR 275 WHITES RECENTLY IN GROVE CITY, OHIO. AND I THINK MOST OF YOU KNOW ME BECAUSE I TESTIFIED HERE BEFORE ABOUT RENEWABLE ENERGY, BUT TODAY. IT'S A LITTLE MORE PERSONAL, AND I DON'T HAVE A WRITTEN PIECE OF PAPER, SO I'LL JUST TRY. TO JUST SPEAK FROM MY EXPERIENCE, SO MY FAMILY IS FROM NORTH CAROLINA AND TWO OF MY

[00:45:07]

SISTERS STILL LIVE THERE, AND BETWEEN THEM. THEY HAVE FIVE KIDS AND FOUR OF THOSE FIVE KIDS. THEY'RE ALL EITHER HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE AGE. THEY ARE SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LGBTQ SPECTRUM. SO. MY NEXT SISTER DOWN. SHE HAS THREE KIDS, HER TWO TWINS. TERMS SON IS GAY AND OUT, AND, UM, AND IT'S OUT AND GAY. THEY LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN IN NORTH CAROLINA, BUT HE GOES TO COLLEGE AND ASHEVILLE. AND THEN THE OTHER TWIN WHO'S A GIRL IS IDENTIFIES AS LESBIAN AND THE YOUNGER, UM, THE YOUNGER CHILD IDENTIFIES AS NON BINARY. AND GOES BY THEY THEM OR SHE HEARD MY SISTER ASKED HER. YOU KNOW WHAT PRONOUNS DO YOU WANT ME TO USE? AND SHE SAID, I DON'T CARE.

I DON'T EVEN WANT PRONOUNCE ALL THE PRONOUNS HAVE PROBLEMS. UM AND SO, THEN THE NEXT SISTER SHE HAS TWO DAUGHTERS, AND ONE OF THEM IS ALSO NON BINARY AND IDENTIFIES AS THEY THEN THE OTHER ONE. IS SHE HER? SO BASICALLY, I GUESS I'M TESTIFYING BECAUSE I WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO COME TO GROW CITY AND VISIT ME HERE AND WALK DOWN BROADWAY HERE, WALK ALONG STRING TOWN GO OUT TO EAT WITH ME. AND FEEL WELCOME. I JUST WANT THEM TO PUTTING ON THE HARD SELL TO GET THEM TO COME VISIT ME BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN HERE BUT I WANT THEM TO FEEL WELCOME HERE. AND I ALSO THINK THAT PEOPLE MY AGE, I'M 58. BEING ON BINARY JUST WASN'T EVEN A CONCEPT WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, AND PROBABLY FOR MOST OF YOU AS WELL. BUT NOW IT'S A WIDE CONCEPT WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT AGE. AND I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN FROM THAT, AND MOST PEOPLE MY AGE HAVE A LOT TO LEARN FROM THAT. AND SO I SUPPORT THIS DIVERSITY COMMITTEE AND HOPE WE DO IT. THANK YOU. MR SLOVAK. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS AARON SCHWEBEL ADDRESS 3170 AND AVENUE. FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT, UM LAST YEAR, WE DID RECEIVE MULTIPLE EMAILS AS A CITY OF PEOPLE WHO WERE HARASSED FOR BEING LGBT OPENING OUR CITY AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE ON COUNCIL AT THE TIME TO HAVE SPOKEN OUT AGAINST THAT, SO THERE'S THAT, TO AT LEAST ESTABLISH MY CREDIBILITY. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ANYONE SHOULD BE MISTREATED FOR ANY WAY THEY ARE. WHAT? YOU'RE A BORN AS HOW YOU IDENTIFY ANY OF THAT YOU SHOULD NOT BE MISTREATED FOR ANY OF THOSE IDENTIFIERS OF HOW YOU ARE BORN. NOT WHO YOU ARE. WHICH HAVE ALWAYS CONCEPTUALIZED WORLD. I WAS RAISED TO SEE PEOPLE AS INDIVIDUALS THAT MEMBERS OF A GROUP AND I AND THAT IS HOW I WILL ALWAYS SEE THE WORLD. I BELIEVE EVERY PERSON INDIVIDUALLY VALUABLE REGARDLESS OF A GROUP AIR PART OF THE GIRLS AND HOW THEY IDENTIFY EACH PERSON INDIVIDUALLY HAS IMPORTANCE. AND LOOK, I ACTUALLY HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING THIS, A TASK FORCE THAT IS DESIGNED TO INFORM THE CITY OF DIFFERENCES AND THINGS THEY CAN DO TO BE BETTER. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT METRICS YOU WOULD LOOK TOWARDS WHAT LAWS YOU EXPECT TO PASS. OR EXPECT TO CONSIDER THROUGH THIS TASK FORCE AS SOMEONE WHO HAS READ THROUGH THIS LEGISLATION. AND AS SOMEONE WHO HAS ALWAYS BEEN WORRIED ABOUT UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF GOVERNMENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS WELL INTENTION. I BELIEVE THAT NO ONE SHOULD BE MISTREATED BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY ARE AS SOMEONE WHO WAS. I'VE NEVER SPOKEN ABOUT THIS PUBLICLY. AS SOMEONE WHO WAS VICIOUSLY BULLIED IN SCHOOL. BEATEN HAD MY LIFE THREATENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN FRONT OF TEACHERS, AND NOTHING WAS EVER DONE. AS SOMEONE PUT A GUN TO HIS HEAD. MULTIPLE TIMES. I DO NOT BELIEVE ANYONE SHOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH BULLYING FOR ANY REASON. BUT. WHEN IT COMES TO GOVERNMENT ACTION. I'M ALWAYS WARY OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. TO ME. THIS READS AS A POSSIBILITY OF THE CITY INSTITUTING DIFFERENT ACTIONS THAT COULD BE SEEN AS PREJUDICIAL BECAUSE YOU ARE TRYING TO BRING IN A SPECIFIC GROUP. AND SO YOU SEE THE GROUP AS ONE ENTITY. AS OPPOSED TO MANY INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE WHO INDIVIDUALLY HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS WHO HAVE DIFFERENT DESIRES DIFFERENT ONCE DIFFERENT NEEDS. AND WHILE I UNDERSTAND THE GOOD INTENTIONS BEHIND THIS BILL, THIS RESOLUTION I SHOULD SAY I AM ALWAYS CONCERNED AS EVERYONE IN GOVERNMENT. ABOUT UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF EVERY ACTION WE UNDERTAKE. FOR THE FEAR OF THE NEGATIVES THAT COULD COME FROM I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S NEGATIVE TO BE A MORE DIVERSE COMMUNITY. I DO BELIEVE THAT ECONOMICALLY INTELLIGENT AND WISE ACTION WILL CREATE A BETTER THRIVING COMMUNITY THAT AS I BELIEVE IT'S A TAD LUCK SAID BRINGS IN DIVERSITY. WHEN YOU HAVE A STRONG COMMUNITY WITH A STRONG BUSINESS CENTER, THE STRONG HOUSING MARKET PEOPLE OF ALL COLORS, CREEDS, RELIGIONS,

[00:50:06]

GENDERS, SEXUAL IDENTITY IS IN EVERY OTHER QUALIFIER. YOU CAN IMAGINE. COME TO YOUR COMMUNITY.

IT'S NOT A MATTER OF THE CITY, SAYING WE'RE GOING TO ACT AS SPECIFIC WAY TO BRING IN A SPECIFIC PEOPLE, BECAUSE THAT IS LITERALLY PREJUDICE. BUT IT SETS IT ASIDE AS. EVERYONE IS WELCOME HERE BECAUSE WE HAD A STRONG BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CENTER, SO WE TREAT EVERYONE INDIVIDUALLY EQUALLY, WHICH IS WHAT OUR ENTIRE LEGAL SYSTEM WAS FOUNDED ON. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR FATHER. UM I BELIEVE MISS FIGURE AURA STILL ONLINE. NATALIA, ARE YOU ARE YOU STILL THERE? I AM.

YES. SO SORRY ABOUT THE THANK YOU CALL DIFFICULTIES. SURE, GO AHEAD. IF I MAY. I WROTE A STATEMENT FOR THIS GOOD EVENING COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS NATALIA FIGURED OUT. I'M LEO AND I LIVE AT 1924 TOURNAMENT WAY. I'M CURRENTLY A SECOND YEAR STUDYING POLITICAL SCIENCE AND THAT ARMY SCHOLARSHIP AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY BLOOMINGTON IN WHICH IS WHERE I'M CALLING FROM RIGHT NOW. I'M HERE TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT FOR A DIVERSITY TASK FORCE BEING INCORPORATED. I AM NOT ONLY EXPRESSING THIS AS A RESIDENT OF THE CITY, BUT ALSO AS AN IMMIGRANT, I WOMAN OF COLOR AND ATHEISTS, AN ALLY FOR NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTAKE IN THE LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY.

WELL, I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR MY EXPERIENCES AND GROWTH CITY IN THE OPEN ARMS MY FAMILY RECEIVED. I OFTENTIMES FELT ALONE. I FELT LIKE AN OUTSIDER WHO WAS AT THE MERCY OF INDIVIDUALS. DO NOT LOOK, THINK OR ACT LIKE ME. AS A YOUNG ADULT WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BACKGROUND FROM THE REST. IT WAS HARD TO FIT IN AND FEEL SUPPORT OUTSIDE OF MY SMALL FAMILY AFFORD. THE EFFORTS OF THIS RESOLUTION WOULD HAVE MADE AN IMPACTFUL DIFFERENCE FOR ME AND OTHERS DURING OUR TRANSITION AND ESTABLISHMENT INTO THIS BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY. HIS LEGISLATION HAS THE POTENTIAL OF LEAVING A LIFELONG POSITIVE IMPACT FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN OUR IN MARGINALIZED. IT WOULD ENRICH OUR COMMUNITY WITH AWARENESS, INCLUSION, COMPASSION FOR ONE ANOTHER AND KNOWLEDGE. INDIVIDUALS OF ALL LIFE STAGES AND BACKGROUNDS WOULD BE ABLE TO COME TOGETHER AND PORTRAY WHETHER COMMITTEE TRULY IS ABOUT WELCOMING AND WE START FULLNESS OF OTHERS RESPECTFUL NOUS OF OTHERS. EXCUSE ME. HOWEVER. FOR THE SELECTION PROCESS FOR THE DIVERSITY TASK FORCE SINCE COHERENT AND REASONABLE I BELIEVE THAT INDIVIDUALS OF MARGINALIZED GROUPS MUST ACQUIRE A HIGHER CONSIDERATION FOR THE POSITIONS TENDER, WHITE HITTER NORMATIVE COUNTERPARTS. ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE INDIVIDUALS. MOST SOCIAL GROUPS, ONLY SUMMER CHANGE CAN BE MADE AND UNDERSTOOD IF THOSE WHO ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED FAILED TO BE PUT AT THE FRONT AND BECOME OVERSHADOWED BY THEIR ALLIES. THEIR SENSE OF AGENCY IN GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS WOULD ALLOW FOR THE DIVERSITY TASK FORCE MAINTAIN THE COMMUNITY'S EFFORTS CONNECTED TO EVERYDAY ISSUES IN GROVE CITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU FOR MUCH. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR FIGURE. ARE THERE ANYONE ELSE ONLINE? OR IS ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISH TO SPEAK OR HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THIS RESOLUTION? OH, YEAH, THIS PIECE. I NEED TO MCDANIEL I LIVE AT 407 WEST RIVER DRIVING GROWTH CITY AND I READ ABOUT THE. THE DIVERSITY TASK FORCE AND WANTED TO CONGRATULATE AND SUPPORT THE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL WHO PROPOSED IT BY HAVING THE MAKE UP OF THE COMMITTEE HAVING TWO YOUTHS ON THERE. IT'S GOOD TO HAVE A YOUNG PEOPLE ON THERE, BUT I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A SUGGESTION THAT YOU HAVE A PERSON FROM THE CLERGY OF ONE OF THE GROCERY CHURCHES, SOMEBODY NOT NECESSARILY AN ADMINISTRATOR, ACCOUNTANT OR SOMEBODY THAT SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY A CLERGY MEMBER. BECAUSE LIKE NATALIA WAS SAYING BELIEVE, SHE SAID. YOU KNOW, SHE'S ATHEIST. WE NEED TO JUST KIND OF UNDERSTAND PEOPLE'S RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE SPIRITUAL BELIEFS IN THERE WOULD BE A GOOD ADDITION TO THE COMMITTEE. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR MCKENNA. ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL GO AHEAD. I'D LIKE TO COMMENT. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO BE WELCOMING AS A COMMUNITY. I THINK THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HERE ABOUT GROUPS CITY AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE FEELS WELCOME. THERE WAS A FORMER HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER AND PRINCIPAL. I DID SEE, YOU KNOW, YOUNG PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH A VERY CONFUSING TIME IN THEIR LIFE, WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. HOW THEY WANT TO BE AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND UNFORTUNATELY, NOT EVERYONE IS AS WELCOMING AT THAT AGE AS THEY

[00:55:02]

SHOULD BE. BUT IF WE AS A COMMUNITY EMBRACE WELCOMING. THE VARIETY OF INDIVIDUALS INTO OUR COMMUNITY, AND THAT INCLUDES REFUGEES. THAT INCLUDES PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES THAT INCLUDES EVERYONE THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS EVENING ON THEIR INDIVIDUALIZED AND IT'S A NEW WORLD FOR A LOT OF US ON THERE. I HAVE A, UM, A RELATIVE WHO'S GOING THROUGH SOME JANITOR IDENTITY AND WANTED TO CHANGE THE PRONOUNS AND ALSO THE NAME AND FOR SOME OF THE RELATIVES.

WHO WERE AROUND THAT PERSON FOR A LONG TIME. IT WAS A DIFFICULT NOT THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT. BUT YOU KNOW HOW HABITS YOU FALL INTO HABITS ON THERE. AND FOR ME, WHO WAS RELATIVELY NEW, IT WAS MUCH EASIER AND YOU KNOW IT'S A CASE WHERE. SOMETIMES AND I'M NOT MAKING EXCUSES FOR OUR COMMUNITY, BUT SOMETIMES THINGS ARE CHANGE IS HARD TO DO SOMETIMES. AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE AWARE THAT THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS THAT FEEL MARGINALIZED AND THAT THEY DON'T FEEL WELCOME, AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE AS A COMMUNITY. THAT WE DO MAKE INDIVIDUALS FEEL WELCOME. WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THIS. I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. I THINK IT'S TIME THAT WE DID SOMETHING LIKE THIS. BUT I ALSO THINK THAT. AS THE SUGGESTIONS GO, UM WE ALSO INCLUDES SOMEONE OR A REPRESENTATIVE OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ON HERE BECAUSE THERE WAS IN MARKED NOTES WITH BUDDY BALL, AND THAT AND THE PEOPLE YOU SEE SOMEONE A LITTLE BIT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN YOURSELF. YOU DON'T ALWAYS UNDERSTAND THAT INDIVIDUAL, BUT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE WELCOMED IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND I THINK I THINK MR SEACREST AND I THINK.

MISS HUCK FOR DOING THIS ON HERE BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WERE A BIG PART OF THIS AND I WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I JUST WANT TO SAY I FEEL AWFUL FOR SOME OF THOSE FOLKS THAT TOOK THE TIME TO SPEAK AND WRITE THOSE LETTERS. AND THAT AH, I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT AND HELP. HOWEVER I CAN AND I LOOK FORWARD TO RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE. MM CLEARLY I RAN FOR COUNCIL FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. AND I THINK ANYONE 50 AND OVER KNOWS THAT OUR LEGACY AND OUR FAMILY IS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN HOW IT WAS WHEN WE GREW UP IN THE SIXTIES, SEVENTIES AND EIGHTIES, MY PARENTS RAISED EIGHT OF US ON WHITE ROAD AND IF THEY COULD BE HERE TODAY TO SEE HOW THEIR GREAT GRANDCHILDREN AND CHILDREN HAVE MARRIED AND MARRIED DIFFERENTLY THAN THE EIGHT OF US MIGHT. MY NEPHEW GARY MARRIED A CHINESE AMERICAN, UM MY NIECE.

MORE GUN MARRIED A BLACK MAN WHOSE DEATH MY DAUGHTER, EMILY MARRIED A WOMAN FROM PORTLAND'S KELSEY HERE TONIGHT. AND MY SON, ADAM, MARRIED A WOMAN OF PUERTO RICAN DESCENT AND THEIR KIDS WILL LOOK QUITE DIFFERENT THAN THOSE EIGHT THAT GREW UP AND WHITE ROAD AND LOVE. DIFFERENT ON THERE WAS EIGHT CHILDREN THAT GREW UP ON WHITE ROAD, BUT I DON'T THINK THIS IS UNCOMMON.

THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR TODAY'S GENERATION. IT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY NOT. IT'S HAVE FAMILIES LOOK SO DIFFERENT FROM THEIR HERITAGE, AND WE'RE EXPERIENCING THIS NEW GENERATION WHO CHOSE DIFFERENTLY LIVED DIFFERENTLY LOVE DIFFERENTLY. AND YOU KNOW, IN OUR EXTENDED FAMILY GATHERS FOR THE HOLIDAYS, IT LOOKS LIKE THE UNITED NATIONS. I MEAN, UM I SHARE ALL THIS IS A FULLY EMBRACED THE IDEA OF FORMING COMMUNITY UNIVERSITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE. PROXIMITY IS EVERYTHING. BETTER UNDERSTANDING OTHERS THAT LOOK DIFFERENTLY, IDENTIFIED DIFFERENTLY OR LOVE DIFFERENTLY, BUILDS UNDERSTANDING AND BREAKS DOWN BARRIERS AND STARTING THESE INTENTIONAL CONVERSATIONS WILL BRING MORE OF OUR COMMUNITY. TO THE TABLE. TO INVOLVE THEMSELVES IN PROGRAMMING DECISION MAKING AND MAKING IT A RICHER COMMUNITY . IT'S GOING TO BE A SMALL STEP IN UPLIFTING HUMAN DIGNITY AND ENGAGING A MORE DIVERSE GROUP OF CITIZENS TO HELP SHAPE OUR CITY.

FOR THE FUTURE. THANK YOU, MISS HULK FOR YOUR WORK AND ORIGINATING THIS RESOLUTION. SO I GUESS I'LL GO LAST. UM MANY OF YOU GUYS KNOW THAT, UM, YOU KNOW , YOU KNOW, I'M JUST AARON TALKS ABOUT GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND OF COURSE I YOU KNOW, I'M ALWAYS WARY OF THAT AS WELL. BUT ANYTHING THAT STARTS A CONVERSATION AND CREATES

[01:00:02]

DIALOGUE AND CREATES ENERGY AMONGST PEOPLE. CREATE SOME WONDERFUL THINGS. I MEAN, IT'S JUST YOU'D BE SURPRISED. I MEAN, I REMEMBER SEVERAL MEETINGS WHEN I WAS DOING 130 DAY CHALLENGE THING FOR KALEIDOSCOPE AND FOR OHIO SUICIDE PREVENTION THAT WE STARTED WITH TWO OR THREE PEOPLE ENDED UP WE HAD OVER 1000 PEOPLE THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE CHALLENGE. WE RAISED 20 SOME $1000 FOR KALEIDOSCOPE IN THE OHIO SUICIDE PREVENTION, BUT IT'S JUST THAT ONE SMALL CONVERSATION OF TWO OR THREE PEOPLE THAT ESCALATED INTO YOU KNOW OVER 1000 PEOPLE BEING INVOLVED AND PEOPLE DID THIS ON THEIR OWN. AND AGAIN. WE'RE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN THIS YEAR, TOO. BUT YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND RELUCTANCY THAT YOU KNOW, GOVERNMENT IS NOT THE SOLUTION.

GOVERNMENT IS USUALLY IS USUALLY THE PROBLEM. AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, UM BUT IN A CASE WHERE WE CAN FORGE DIALOGUE AND CONVERSATION AMONGST PEOPLE AND ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, I TALKED TO THE MAYOR ABOUT THIS, AND HE'S BEEN SUPPORTIVE, SOMEHOW THINKING OF HOW WE CAN DO NOT ONLY, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL THINGS WERE MENTIONED HERE TONIGHT. NOT ONLY THE LGBTQ COMMUNITIES BUT DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES ON THINGS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A WHOLE GAMUT OF DIVERSITY OUT. THERE'S JUST NOT ONE. IT'S MANY, MANY THAT WE COULD HAVE MAYBE A UM, DIVERSITY DAY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND MAYBE THIS TASK FORCE CAN BECOME THE IMPLEMENT. YOU KNOW THE START OF HAVING THAT CONVERSATION, BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF NATIONALITIES IN THE CITY. AND YOU KNOW, I WAS RAISED IN NORTHEAST OHIO IN A SMALL TOWN CALLED WORCESTER AND WE USED TO ALWAYS GO TO CLEVELAND FOR THE FOR DIFFERENT FESTIVALS AND EVERYTHING, AND SOMEHOW THAT'S GOTTEN LOST OVER TIME DOING THOSE COMMUNITY FESTIVALS AND WHATNOT. I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT IT HAS. BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO INSTITUTE THAT AGAIN HERE, BUT UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS THE IS THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING . BUT WHAT IT DOES DO IS IT STARTS A CONVERSATION AND YOU KNOW, I WANT TO MENTION YOU KNOW YOU MENTIONED ABOUT HAVING THE CLERGY INVOLVED AND HAVING THAT DISABILITY IS INVOLVED IN THE STUFF LIKE THAT. MY HOPE IS THAT YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT A GROUP OF 11 PEOPLE THAT THEY STARTED INVITING THOSE THOSE ENTITIES IN THAT WANT TO BE INVOLVED, AND I KNOW THERE'S GREAT SOCIAL GROUPS OUT THERE. KALEIDOSCOPE IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. UM AND YOU KNOW THEY CAN INVITE THOSE IN THOSE ORGANIZATIONS IN TO TALK TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO NETWORK HOW TO OFFER SERVICES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THIS IS THIS IS JUST THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER. THIS IS A CONVERSATION. THIS EXPANDS THE CONVERSATION. AND YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE'VE WE'VE ALL BEEN THROUGH HATEFUL THINGS AND ARE AS AS AS YOUNG PEOPLE AND EVERYTHING. I'VE BEEN THROUGH IT, TOO, AND IT'S NOT FUN. IT'S HORRIBLE. AND YOU KNOW IT WAS HARD TO LISTEN TO THOSE STORIES. UM, BECAUSE I MEAN, I REFLECT ON HIM AND EVERYTHING, BUT, UM, AGAIN, THIS IS THE START. THIS IS NOT THE END. THIS IS ONLY PART OF THE BIGGER PILE OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO. ANYTHING FROM THE ADMINISTRATION. LEAVE NOW, TOO. READ THE TITLE AND THEN OKAY? SO AGAIN, JUST ONE FINAL COMMENT. THANKS EVERYONE THAT HAD THE COURAGE TO SPEAK UP TONIGHT AND GIVE A VOICE TO THIS EVEN HER ONLINE FOLKS, AND I HOPE YOU ALL CONSIDER JOINING OUR COMMITTEE OR MAKING SURE THAT WE FIND YOU WHEN THE COMMITTEE GETS FORMED, SO FOUR YEARS. ONE QUESTION THAT WOULD BE. THAT WILL BE AN OAKLAND MEETING, WON'T IT SO THAT PEOPLE OTHER PEOPLE CAN ATTEND AND WATCH THE COMMITTEE IS IT FUNCTIONS AND ABSOLUTELY OKAY, GOOD. JUST WANNA MAKE SURE. SO UM, I MOVED. TO TAKE THIS TO VOTE TO FORM THE GROSS CITY COMMUNITY DIVERSION ADVISORY TASK FORCE. MR SEACREST. YES VERY YES. YES, ABSOLUTELY. YES.

IF I COULD. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING TONIGHT, AND I HATE TO SAY IT WITH THE REST OF THE AGENDA IS NOT AS FUN AND NOT AS IMPORTANT AS WELL. IT IS IMPORTANT I SHOULD SAY, BUT, UM , WE DON'T WANT THE MAN THAT'S GOING TO SPEND MONEY NEXT, BUT YOU'RE WELCOME. IF YOU NEED TO LEAVE TO GO AHEAD AND DO SO DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU. HAVE TO STAY.

[Additional Item]

OF OUR MEETING, AND BEFORE WE GO TO THE LITTLE THEATER I WANT TO. WE'VE GOT A GENTLEMAN. MR SCHLOSSER, MR. SCHLOSSER, THAT'S ON THE LIST TO COME ON UP AND SPEAK. MR SLASHER SLASHER RESIDES AT 5 TO 8. WHAT CAN. OKAY LET'S TRY TO GIVE YOU THAT INTRODUCTION IS CAME DOWN THE RED CARPET. I APPRECIATE THAT AFTER LAST ONE. SO, UM UM, WE'VE LIVED HERE FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS.

[01:10:09]

MHM ON WATKINS IN THE PINNACLE AREA AND MM. FIRST OF ALL, LET ME LET ME SAY SOMETHING. I WAS BORN AND GROW CITY, WHICH I STATED THE LAST TIME. MY SONS WERE BOTH RAISED IN MADISON COUNTY. AND MY YOUNGEST SON IS GAY. AND HE WAS ASHAMED TO GO BACK TO THAT TO THAT COUNTY.

AFTER HE GRADUATED. AND SO I. APPLAUD EVERYONE THAT WAS HERE TODAY AND SPOKE BECAUSE I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR THAT. HAVING BEEN RAISED ON THE FARM. AND EVERYTHING. IT'S JUST REALLY SOMETHING SO THAT'S JUST SIDE NOTE. UM ONE THINGS ARE BROUGHT UP LAST TIME WHERE THE SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT THE DRIVE THAT WAS GOING BACK THROUGH THERE. AND I'VE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE SINCE THEN. I DON'T WANT TO KEEP BRINGING THIS UP AND READ, REITERATING IN OR ANYTHING, BUT I TALKED TO POLICE OFFICER WHO SAID HE SAW PEOPLE PARKING BACK THERE AND HE SAID.

THEY NOT ONLY LOOKED AT THAT AREA, BUT THEY WERE ALSO LOOKING AT HOUSES AS THEY DROVE THROUGH AND STUFF SO AS I STATED AT THE LAST MEETING. THAT ROAD. TOURNAMENT WAY WAS NOT DESIGNED AS A TWO WAY TRAFFIC. IT WAS DESIGNED AS. CARS PARKING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD. AND YOU GIVE AND TAKE. AND YES, THERE ARE TWO. SPEED BUMPS THERE. THIS SLOW, SLOW SOME OF THE STUFF THERE. BUT YOU'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE TRAFFIC THAT GOES BACK AND FORTH THROUGH THERE. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DISCUSSED WITH THIS POLICE OFFICER THAT I WAS TALKING TO IS, HE SAID THAT HE SAID. INDEED IN COMMUNITIES THEY HAVE TO GET APPROVAL TO GO THROUGH AND EVERYTHING SO ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERNS ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING IS THE COMMUNICATION. AND I'D LIKE TO GET EVERYBODY TOGETHER IN THE PINNACLE AREA OR SOMETHING AT LEAST DISCUSS BECAUSE I HAVE ONE NEIGHBOR THAT SAYS HE HEARD IT WAS GOING TO BE AN AQUA PARK. I THINK WHEN WE CAME HERE, THE IDEA WAS THERE WAS GONNA BE A SHELTER HOUSES AND THERE WAS GOING TO BE SEMI EQUIPMENT FOR KIDS TO PLAY ON AND I WALKED AWAY AROUND THE PARK AND STUFF LIKE THAT. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, AND THAT'S SOMETHING I THINK. IT NEEDS TO BE COMMUNICATED.

WHETHER IT'S THAN A THE DIVERSITY GROUP OR WHETHER IT'S WHETHER THIS IS DR IN THIS PARK AND EVERYTHING ELSE. WE NEED SOMEHOW KIND OF FIND OUT BETTER WAY TO COMMUNICATE AND GET THIS INFORMATION. BECAUSE FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT, WE'VE GOT BIKE RIDERS WE'VE GOT KIDS WALKING WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT PEOPLE PARKING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD. GOT DOG WALKERS. WE'VE GOT ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS. IN FACT, THE OTHER DAY, THIS LITTLE GIRL WAS JUST WALKING IN THE MALL. THE STREET HER FATHER WAS ON ONE SIDE AND I WAS ON THE OTHER AND SHE WAS JUST WALKING THERE JUST KIND OF STARING, SO THOSE KIND OF THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY IN THE COMMUNITY. THAT'S KIND OF I DON'T WANT TO SAY ISOLATED BY ITSELF, BUT IT IS IT IS, IT IS FOR NEXT STAMP. UM SO. I WOULD LIKE SOMEHOW FOR US TO GET SOMETHING SO UP SO THAT WE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE AND GET THE INFORMATION OUT AS TO WHAT'S GOING TO BE TAKING PLACE IN THIS PARK. IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A ROAD AND IF THAT WHEN THAT ROAD WILL CLOSE AS HE'S GOING TO CLOSE AT NIGHT, IS IT GOING TO BE OPEN ALL THE TIME? ALL THESE THINGS NEED TO BE DISCUSSED AND SOMEBODY AND WE NEED IT. WE NEED TO KNOW THOSE ANSWERS. MR EVERYBODY RIGHT NOW IS TELLING ME THEY DON'T KNOW. I'M GOING TO AFTER THE MEETING ON WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY CAN DO IT. BUT MR SECRETS AND MR SHOCKEY OR THE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT ARE IN YOUR AREA OVER THERE, AND OF COURSE, THE ADMINISTRATION IS ALWAYS THERE TO HELP. SO I HAVE, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THAT THE TWO OF THEM GET YOUR INFORMATION. I'M SURE THAT I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU FOR COMING IN. THANK YOU. THANKS, MR SCHLOSSER. AND TONIGHT WE HAVE A UNDER NEW
