THE PETITIONERS REQUESTED THIS ORDINANCE BE POSTPONED UNTIL AUGUST 7TH AND THE REASON THAT THIS IS A POSTPONEMENT ON HERE IS BECAUSE YOU'LL SEE THE NEXT ITEM IS A PRE, UH PRE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT ON THERE AND IN ORDER TO HAVE A FRIEND STATION AGREEMENT. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE ANNEXATION POSTPONED, SO WE'RE POSTPONING THEIR POSTPONING THAT UNTIL AUGUST, 2ND OR SEVENTH, I SHOULD SAY, WHICH IS TWO MEETINGS FROM NOW ON HERE, SO I SO MOVED THAT THIS ORDINANCE SPEED POSTPONED UNTIL AUGUST, 7TH. 2ND 2ND.

MEMBERS OF GROWTH CITY COUNCIL IN GROVE CITY ADMINISTRATION. AS IT RELATES TO THE POTENTIAL ANNEXATION ON RANCH ROAD. AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. I BELIEVE YOUR COMMITMENT WAS TO LISTEN AND EXPLORE WAYS TO HELP YOUR COMMUNITY REMAINS SAFE, AFFORDABLE AND OFFER THE BEST AMENITIES FOR RESIDENTS LIFE. I WATCHED MANY PEOPLE APPEAR IN FRONT OF COUNCIL CONCERNED ABOUT EXPANSION, STREETS, ZONING ISSUES AND WONDER IF YOU REALLY HAVE THE PULSE AND WHAT THE PEOPLE OF GROWTH CITY WANT. SOMETIMES AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS, SPECIAL INTEREST AUTHORITY AND PAIN CAN MASK THE REAL INTEREST OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS NEEDS. 
          TODAY WE SEE THIS TOO OFTEN FOR MANY GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS IN THE AGENCIES. SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG. THE IDEA OF DROPPING A HUGE DATA CENTER IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL AREA HAS TO BE THE CRAZIEST IDEA, AND THE CITY HAS WORKED SO HARD TO DEVELOP AREA OF COMMERCE AND BUSINESS SUPPORT BUSINESSES COMING TO THE AREA. WHY DOES THIS DATA CENTER HAVE TO BE LOCATED ON WRENCH ROAD AND NOT IN AN AREA OF COMMERCE DEVELOPMENT? YEAH LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO THE ANNEXATION. 
          AND IF THIS IS BETTER FOR NEW BUSINESS, THEN LOOKS ADDRESS IT AND YOUR BUSINESS CAN DO THAT. 
          I'LL COME BACK ON NEW BUSINESS. OKAY THAT'S FINE BECAUSE WITHOUT A TEEN ANNEXATION, BECAUSE I'M KIND OF GOING PAST THE ANNEXATION, YOU'RE CORRECT FRONT BACK AND WE'LL DO EVERYBODY UNDER NEW BUSINESS OUT THERE, SINCE YOU HAVE KIND OF A BROADER TERM ON THERE. THANKS TO 25 23,

I HAVE NOT HAD AND I'M KNOCKING ON WOOD AS I SAY THIS A SINGLE OBJECTION YET, UM, THE REASON WHY WE HAVE THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION ON NOW IS AN EMERGENCY IS I BELIEVE I WILL GET MOST OF THESE SETTLED VERY WORKING WELL WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS, HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT THAT I CANNOT WHAT THIS WOULD HAVE ALLOWED US TO DO, AS A FINAL STEP IS TO FILE IT IN ACTION FOR APPROPRIATION SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE THE PROJECT. THE REASON IT'S AN EMERGENCY TONIGHT, YOU KNOW THAT YOU DON'T LIKE EMERGENCIES ON THE APOLOGIZE FOR DOING THIS TO YOU. 
          IT REALLY HAS TO DO WITH THE TIMING SO THAT WE CAN GET THIS PROJECT OUT TO BID THIS YEAR.

I'M HOPING TO MAKE CONTINUED WORK OF ME AND MY TEAM THAT WE CAN GET THESE RESULTS OF HAVING TO RESORT TO THIS. HOWEVER WE DO NEED THIS JUST SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT AND GET A BID ON A TIMELY MANNER. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. YOU MAY HAVE.

THIS LEGISLATION APPROVED FROM 2 70 SOUTH TO HOME ROAD ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE STREET.

SAFETY. MORGAN C 24 23 MEN. VARIOUS SECTIONS OF CAPTURE 3 76 CHANNEL OPERATION RESTRICTION FOR RESTRICTED FOR LOW SPEED AND UNDER SPEED VEHICLES. UM, MR MR . COLD HAS PRETTY MUCH SOME 
          [00:15:09]
COMMENTS TO FRAME THIS DISCUSSION UP AND THIS THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL, SO THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER STUFF. FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS A FOLLOW ON FROM MY COMMENTS. LAST COUNCIL MEETINGS, SO AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, GOLF CARTS ARE BECOMING MUCH MORE FAMILIAR AND GROVE CITY AND THEY HAVE BEEN IN MANY OTHER CITIES. AND OUR LEGISLATION FOR GOLF CARTS OR WHAT SHOULD BE CALLED ACTUALLY LOW SPEED VEHICLES, WHICH IS A VEHICLE THAT GOES LESS THAN 35 MILES AN HOUR 25 TO 35 MILES AN HOUR. NEEDS SOME SIGNIFICANT UPDATING TO BECOME WHAT I'M GOING TO PROMOTE AS A GOLF CART FRIENDLY COMMUNITY. SO IN THE FUTURE, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO RIDE YOUR GOLF CART ALL OVER GROVE CITY PARK. AND DO ALL YOUR BUSINESS USING A GOLF CART NOW IN GROUPS CITY WE'VE GONE DOWN THE PATH OF GOLF CARTS ARE A STATE REGISTERED MOTOR VEHICLE . THEY'RE NOT JUST A GOLF CART THAT YOU RIDE ON THE GOLF COURSE . SO IT'S A STATE REGISTERED MOTOR VEHICLES SO IT NEEDS A LICENSE. PLAY HEADLIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS TURN SIGNALS HORN REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND IT REQUIRES AN OHIO LICENSE PLATE. SO YOU HAVE TO GET ALL THAT TAKEN CARE OF ON YOUR GOLF CART, AND THEN IT CAN RIDE PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE ON THE STREET. BUT OUR CURRENT LEGISLATION FOR GOLF CARTS RESTRICTS THOSE GOLF CARTS FROM BROADWAY STRING TOWN ROAD AND LONDON GROVE PORCH ROOM. AND THIS LEGISLATION. WE'RE GOING TO MODIFY THE BROADWAY RESTRICTION. AND ALLOW THEM ON MOST OF BROADWAY. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN AMENDMENT LATER, BUT THIS WILL BE THE FIRST OF MANY DIFFERENT RULE CHANGES AND LEGISLATION FOR GOLF CARTS. I SUSPECT THERE WILL BE THREE OR FOUR OVER THE NEXT YEAR. UM SOME OF THOSE CHANGES ALL ALL MEANT TO BECOME A GOLF CART FRIENDLY COMMUNITY COMMUNITY MAKE THE PUBLIC AWARE THAT THERE'S GOLF CARTS ON THE STREETS. THEY'RE LEGAL. THEY'RE NOT A NUISANCE. THEY'RE TO BE TREATED JUST LIKE A MOTORCYCLE OR BICYCLE, WHICH ALSO HAVE THE SAME RIGHT TO BE ON THE ROAD. UM SO WE'LL UPDATE THE LANGUAGE. IT'S IN LOTS OF THE LEGISLATION IN THE CITY TO TAKE OUT THE WORD GOLF CART AND PUT IN LOW SPEED VEHICLE THAT'S KIND OF THE NEW WAY TO DESCRIBE THEM. UH WE'RE GOING TO CREATE SOME SIGNAGE FOR GOLF CARTS AND BICYCLES FOR IF YOU THINK ABOUT BROADWAY. AH WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME INTO THE CITY AND I WANT THEM TO BE AWARE THAT THEY MIGHT ENCOUNTER A GOLF CART IN TRAFFIC . THOSE PEOPLE AREN'T VIOLATING THE LAW. IT'S A REGISTERED MOTOR VEHICLE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT COLOR IT WILL BE OR WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE. BUT YOU KNOW, YOU'LL YOU'LL KNOW THAT YOU'RE COMING INTO A GOLF CART COMMUNITY WHERE THEY USE GOLF CARDS. UH WON'T BE ON EVERY STREET BUT THEY SHOULD BE ON THE BUSY STREETS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE TODAY LIKE BROADWAY. YEAH, I THINK WILL PROBABLY CREATE A REGISTRATION PROGRAM WITH THE CITY SO THAT THE CITY KNOWS YOU HAVE LIKE GOLF CART. UM MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR THAT REGISTRATION IS SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH THE RULES FOR GOLF CARTS AND GROVE CITY. SO THAT WE CAN GIVE YOU A PASS MAP OF ALL THE STREETS TO GET EVERYWHERE ON GOLF CART FRIENDLY STREETS. UM SO THAT WE CAN GIVE YOU THE RULES OF GOLF CARTS, WHICH ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME RULES AS A STATE MOTOR VEHICLE. BUT I TELL YOU TODAY, MOST PEOPLE DON'T THINK THAT GOLF CARTS OPERATED BY THE SAME RULES AS A MOTORCYCLE. LET'S SAY REGISTRATION INSURANCE ALL THOSE THINGS, BUT THEY WILL NEED TO BE NORMAL. STATE REGISTERED MOTOR VEHICLE. UM, AND THERE'S A COUPLE OTHER THINGS LIKE IF YOU CAN'T GET TO A CERTAIN PLACE ON THE GOLF CART, BECAUSE THE STREET DOESN'T GET THERE, OR WE'VE RESTRICTED THE STREET. 
          THEN MAYBE WE NEED TO BUILD A PATH. SO THAT YOU CAN RIDE ON A GOLF CART PATH FROM POINT A TO POINT B AND GET TO A BUSINESS OR A SHOPPING CENTER BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO GO OUT ON 6 65 LET'S SAY WITH YOUR GOLF CARDS, SO THIS IS ONE OF MANY CHANGES IN THIS. WE'RE SPEAKING ABOUT TODAY. UM SPECIFICALLY, ARE WE'RE GOING TO OPEN UP BROADWAY . I'M GONNA MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THAT HERE IN A MINUTE. BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, WE'RE OPENING UP BROADWAY SO YOU CAN RIDE YOUR GOLF CART TO DOWNTOWN BROADWAY AND BUILDING THE DIFFERENT ARTS FESTIVALS AND DIFFERENT THINGS DOWNTOWN AS PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND PARK AND DRIVE ON THE STREET, JUST 
          [00:20:03]
LIKE A MOTOR VEHICLE. AND WE'RE TAKING AWAY SOME OLD LANGUAGE THAT WAS IN THE LEGISLATION THAT REQUIRED A FRONT LICENSE PLATE. SO YOU DON'T NEED A FRONT LICENSE PLATE ON YOUR REGULAR CAR. NOR DO YOU NEED ONE ON YOUR GOLF CART. JUST A REAR LICENSE PLATE. SO I'LL MAKE AN AMENDMENT . WHEN SHOULD I MAKE MY MEN AND HERE COMING FROM PUBLIC COMMENTS ? FIRST THERE'S ONE PERSON SIGNED UP. JOSH GIRARD INTERRUPT DURANT DURING. JUICE UP. PLEASE GIVE YOUR NAME AGAIN AND YOUR ADDRESS. MY NAME IS JOSH TORN, AND MY ADDRESS IS 3565 OMAHA COURT. UM COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME THIS EVENING AS A GOLF CORONER FOR LAST TWO YEARS IN THE CITY OF GROWTH CITY I PUT OVER 2200 MILES ON THE STREETS OF GROVE CITY. UM AND WITH THAT, I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW OTHER SEVERAL OTHER GOLF COURSE. GOLF CART OWNERS IN THE CITY. UM THE RESTRICTION ON BROADWAY LIMITS A LOT OF US RIGHT NOW, UM, AND IT KIND OF FORCES GOLF CART OWNERS TO CUT THROUGH PARKING LOTS, UM , ENFORCES US TO, FOR EXAMPLE OF MONA'S MOTORS ON BROADWAY CAN'T GET THERE VERY EASILY. VERY FAMILY FRIENDLY SPOT. UM WITH THE GOLF CART. I HAVE TO TAKE SO MANY BACKSTREETS TO THEN CUT THROUGH. I BELIEVE ERNIE'S CARRY OUT PARKING LOT TO GET TO MONA'S, WHICH THEN YOU'RE STILL DRIVING PARTIALLY UM, ON THE SIDEWALK, WHICH IS KIND OF RIDICULOUS. UM BUT WITH GROWTH CITY NOW YOU GUYS APPROVED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. UM AND HE'S BUILDING HIS BUSINESS HERE IN GROVE CITY TO SELL GOLF CARTS THAT I KNOW SOME OF THE PEOPLE I'VE TALKED TO PROBABLY 30 15, OR 20 OF THEM HAVE BOUGHT THEIR GROWTH GOLF CART FROM THE COLUMBUS POWER SPORTS COMPANY. 
          UM AND HE IS HE HAS BOUGHT PROPERTY IN HIS BUILDING THEIR OWN HOME ROAD. UM I HOPE THAT WITH THIS ORDINANCE THAT YOU KNOW, I'M STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF THAT. WE ALLOW EASIER ACCESS FOR THE GROUP THE GOLF CARTS ON BROADWAY TO ACCESS OUR BUSINESSES THAT WE WANT TO SUPPORT. UM FOR EXAMPLE. LIKE GOING NORTH? NO. I WOULD LOVE TO SUPPORT JETS PIZZA. CAN'T GET THERE. I LOVE PICKING UP YOU KNOW, I GET THE DOMINOES. IT'S HARD TO GET THE DOMINOES CUTTING THROUGH ALL KINDS OF BACK STREETS. UM I JUST SAW THE OTHER DAY COMING UP. 62 THERE WERE BICYCLES RIDING ON THE STREET. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE OF A BICYCLE ON BROADWAY VERSUS SOMETHING THAT'S MORE VISIBLE AS A GOLF CART? UM AS AS, UM MR HOLT SAID. OH MR HOLT SAID, YOU KNOW, GOLF CARTS ARE MANDATED BY THE STATE. WE HAVE LAWS THAT WE FOLLOWED BY THE STATE. UM, I THINK WE'RE STARTING TO REMOVE SOME OF THESE RESTRICTIONS WILL BE GREATLY BENEFICIAL TO US. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THAT'S TRUE. YOU WANT TO SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE SEE 24 23. BEFORE WE VOTE. UM THE AMENDMENT NEEDS TO READ SOMETHING. AND SO THIS IS A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN WHAT'S PUBLISHED. UM WE JUST CLARIFY RIGHT NOW. THE RESTRICTIONS ARE BROADWAY STRING TOWN ROAD AND LONDON GROVE PORT ROAD. UM YOU CAN CROSS STRING TOWN ROAD AND YOU CAN CROSS LONDON GROVE BOARD ROAD, BUT YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN TRAFFIC ON ANY ONE OF THOSE ROADS. SO THIS LEGISLATION HAS WRITTEN OPENS UP BROADWAY. AS IT'S MEANT, AND THERE IS FROM CORPORATION LIMIT TO CORPORATION LIMIT, WHICH WOULD BE TO 70 ALL THE WAY TO CASA. SO I'M GONNA JUST RESTRICT THAT A LITTLE BIT WITH THIS AMENDMENT. IF COUNCIL WILL VOTE ON THAT. AND THEIR RESTRICTION WILL BE FUNNY. HARLAN NORTH TO THE CORPORATION LINE. SO SOUTHWEST IS GOOD. 
          HARLAN IS THE CORN IS AS FAR AS YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO ON A GOLF CART IN TRAFFIC ON BROADWAY , SO REALLY, NOT BROADWAY. AFTER THAT POINT IN MY MIND, ANYWAY, IT'S GETTING TO THE ENTRANCE OF 2 70 TRAFFICS MUCH FASTER THERE. UM I WANT TO DO THIS IN BABY STEPS OVER TIME AS THE COMMUNITY GETS USED TO GOLF CARTS, AND WE SEE MORE AND MORE OF THEM, UM, YOU KNOW, WE CAN CONTINUE TO LOOK AT ANY RESTRICTIONS THAT WE HAVE. BUT UM, JUST LIKE THE UPDATE THIS LEGISLATION WITH THE PARLIAMENT NORTH TO CORPORATE LINE, TAMMY. YOU GOT SOMETHING THAT SAYS THAT FIGURED OUT YOUR 
          [00:25:01]
MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND HMM. WE'RE HERE. WE'RE AMENDING SECTION ONE B ONE JUST TO BE CLEAR. IT'S TOUGH. YES. MR SHARKEY? YES, YES. MR HOLT? YES OKAY, SO THE AMENDMENT NOW READS NORTH OF PARLIAMENT. OKAY AND IS THERE ANY MORE PUBLIC INPUT? THEY ALL YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING? OKAY ALL RIGHT. UH, WELL. AND THIS REALLY HAS HAD ITS COUNCIL PHONES. YES, COUNSELOR. COMMENTS GO AHEAD. UH, MISHAP. DO YOU HAVE ONES? I BELIEVE I WAS, UM WELL LIKE THIS, I DO. I THINK THAT, UM, I APPRECIATE THE AMENDMENT AND THE INTEREST IN PERHAPS GETTING SOME OF THE OTHER, UM, PIECES THAT YOU'VE MENTIONED IN PLACE BEFORE . WE KNOW THAT WE'RE READY TO MAKE THE TRANSITION. SOME OF THAT MORE HECTIC AREA, PARTICULARLY THAT INTERSECTION THIS IT'S A I THINK ALL OF US AT THIS POINT IN TIME SO I COULD PACK. COUNCIL COMMENTS EATERY. 
          CIGARETTES MR MAYOR, UM, JUST WANT A COMPLIMENT, RIGHT? AND BRING THIS FOR BECAUSE I MEAN, THIS IS THE WAY THINGS GET DONE HAVE AN INTEREST IN SOMETHING THAT'S A PARTICULAR I INTEREST.

THANK YOU CAN HAVE SOME COMMENTS, THEN, UH, VERY MUCH APPRECIATE. MR HULK, MR HOLT. ALL THE LINE, MR HOWELL GUY, MR FOLKS, WE'RE BRINGING TO JUST SAY RANDY GRAND , BUT NO, IN ALL SERIOUSNESS. 
          UH, FOR SOMEONE WHO TRULY VALUES GETTING AROUND TOWN DIFFERENTLY THAN IN A CAR. UH I APPRECIATE THIS LEGISLATION AND I KNOW THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF EVOLUTION OF THIS GOING FORWARD , AND I JUST WANT TO SUGGEST THAT WE, UM, A COMPASS AND CREDIT CRYING THAT CULTURED THAT SPEAKS TO A UH, GOLF CART BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY COMMUNITY AND TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF IN SO MANY WAYS, SLOW IT DOWN AND TAKE CARE OF OUR PEOPLE AND CAN CAUTION SIGNS OR, UM, WELCOME SIGNS THAT SAYS, WE VALUE OUR PEOPLE. ANYONE THAT GREW UP ON THE WEST SIDE REMEMBERS THAT HOLLY HILL SIGN THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, SLOW DOWN. WE LOVE OUR CHILDREN ON THE WAY TO SOLVE AN APP AND SO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT CULTURE OF THE, UH, LIGHTER WEIGHT VEHICLE WITH A LIGHTER WEIGHT PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE AND MOBILE MOBILE MOBILE DEVICES OR MOBILE, YOU KNOW, ADOPT ATION DEVICES, STUFF LIKE THAT. I JUST THAT'S WHAT I HOPE FOR OUT OF THIS IS THAT WE UH, GET OUR PASSERBYS OR CONSIDERS OUR CITIZENS THAT COME DOWN BROADWAY DUDE. UH UM. EMBRACE A , UH, SLOWER CULTURE. SO THAT MR CIGARETTES THAT YOU'RE YOU HAVE . TO YOU DON'T MIND THAT. I MEAN , IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, YOU GO UP THERE AND EVERY GET YOURSELF WITH YOUR ADDRESS AND SPEAK TO THIS TO THIS ORDINANCE TO THIS. YEAH, THIS ONE, RIGHT? I AM CINDY CASPER. OH AND MY ADDRESS IS 21 01 MAYFLOWER CIRCLE AND GROWTH CITY. NOW WHAT I'VE SEEN ON THE GOLF CARTS LIKE YOU MENTIONED LIGHTS AND LICENSE, BUT YOU DIDN'T MENTION SEATBELTS . ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO BEWARE AND SEE FELT? UH I BELIEVE CHILDREN IN THE BACK. THEY HAVE TO HAVE SEATBELTS. AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A. WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? A FIRST VIOLATION OR NOT, BUT MR VIGOR OR HEAVEN? WHERE? YEAH UM, I CAN I CAN GRAB THIS ONE. OKAY SEATBELTS ARE REQUIRED.

I SEE A LOT WHERE WHEREAS I'M FOLLOWING THEM. THEY DO NOT HAVE SEATBELTS ON AND I MAYFLOWER IS NEAR HOOVER ROAD, AND I SEE A LOT ON HOOVER ROAD. THEY'RE ONLY GOING 15 SO IT CAUSES EVERYONE TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AND MOVE SLOWLY. AND, UM. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. I MEAN, HOPEFULLY THEY DO HAVE TO START WEARING SEATBELTS. BUT IN MY OPINION, THE ONES I HAVE SEEN THE CHILDREN THE BACK DO NOT HAVE SEAT BELTS ON OKAY. HOPEFULLY WHEN HE MENTIONED ALL THAT I DIDN'T THANK YOU SAID SEATBELT HELPS SEATBELTS ARE REQUIRED FOR AN INSPECTION. OKAY MAKING PEOPLE WEAR THEM AS A DIFFERENT SITUATION. RIGHT RIGHT. RIGHT.

THIS IS A 35TH YEAR THAT THE CITY HAS NOT INCREASED THE MILLAGE WE CURRENTLY LEVIED 3.5 MILLS. WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO LEVY SEVEN MILLS. SO FOR 35 YEARS, WE'VE BEEN EITHER KEPT IN THE STANDING OR REDUCED IT. AND THIS IS I BELIEVE THE 16TH YEAR WHERE WE'VE KEPT IT AT 3.5 MEALS AND VERY JUST FINE WITHOUT INCREASING TAXES. ANY QUESTIONS ? MHM I JUST JUST FOR A GENERAL AUDIENCE, UH, THE REVENUE ESTIMATE FOR 2024 IS 53,600,000 IS UP ABOUT 5 MILLION FROM 2023.

GOING TO MOVE INTO A NEW BUSINESS ON HERE. UM MR AND WE HAVE PEOPLE TO SPEAK ON HERE. 
          ANY NEW BUSINESS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF COUNCIL ON HERE. YOU'RE GOING TO CALL ON YOU FIRST. ALL RIGHT, IF YOU GIVE ME A SECOND, ALRIGHT, SORRY, SIR MR SMITH, BECAUSE HE HAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT. YEAH. THANK YOU, SIR. I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. UM ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO IS THE CITY IS SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS. IN THIS INSTANCE I WILL OPEN THE FLOOR FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON A NEW TIP INCENTIVE DISTRICT THAT WE ARE CREATING CALLED THE PLUM RANDY'S HERE. BY STATUTE, WHICH IS A HIGHER ADVICE. FOOD SECTION 57 09.40. 
          WE HAVE TO GIVE ANYONE WHO IS A PROPERTY OWNER IN THAT AREA AND OPPORTUNITY TO OBJECT. UM, FRANKLY, NOBODY IS HERE TO OBJECT. NOR DOES ANYONE REALLY HAVE THE RIGHT. BUT BY STATUTE, I HAVE TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO DO SO NOW. SO ANY OBJECTIONS TO THE PLUM RUN TIFF? PLEASE SPEAK NOW FOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS WHO LIVED THERE.

STATUTORY REQUIREMENT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR SMITH. I DON'T KNOW. ALL RIGHT NOW WE'LL GO BACK TO PUBLIC COMMENT ON HERE. AND YOU WANT TO CONTINUE UP THERE? YEAH HE WANTED THAT JUST NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND THEN WE COULD START OVER IF SHE'S LIKE, OKAY. SURE THING, GREG. GOTTA MILLER 47 705 RENT ROAD. I WON'T START OVER. THANKS FOR THE TIME ROBERT APPRECIATE IT. SO ON REGARDING THE DATA CENTER ON WRENCH ROAD. HIGHLIGHT I DO OPPOSE THE DATA CENTER AND YOU DETAILS HERE. WHY SO? TIME AND TIME AGAIN WHEN WE HAVE INQUIRED ABOUT THE ANNEXATION INTO OUR DATA CENTER , UM WE GET COMMENTS LIKE THIS LOCATION IS IDEAL FOR A DATA CENTER SO CLOSE TO THE POWER PLANT. UH WELL, SO IS VD ROAD THAT DOESN'T HAVE A SMALL COMMUNITY HOUSES, AND SO IS THE AREA NEXT TO THE LANDFILL. WE HAVE HEARD THROUGH MANY MEANING THINGS THAT THIS IS A GROVE CITY GROWING AND ITS PROGRESS OUR AREA IN RETRO AND WAS CALLED BLIGHTED. WE'VE HEARD OFFICIALS TELL US PEOPLE CAN SELL PROPERTY TO WHO THAT WANT TO SELL IT TO IN OUR OWN JACKSON TOWNSHIP, TELLING US THAT THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO. THIS IS THE GROVE CITY 2050 PLAN AND WE NEED TO FOLLOW ALONG. I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT EVERYONE WE'VE MET ONCE AN UPDATE ON THE DATA CENTER. THE SIGNS HAVE PEOPLE THINKING AND COMMENT TO US THAT THIS IS A BAD IDEA. I'VE MET A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WONDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE STILL CAN'T FIND A GROCERY STORE BANK OR POST OFFICE ON THE EAST SIDE OF GROWTH CITY PROPER. I'M NOT SURE HOW THE GROVE CITY 2050 PLANTS MISS THAT IRRESPONSIBLE PLANNING AND PLANNING BY SPECIAL INTERESTS OR PERSONAL RESUME BUILDING WILL ALWAYS LEAD TO FAILURE. RESIDENTS WILL BECOME FED UP AND MOVE OR WORDS TELL OTHERS THAT GROWTH CITIES DOING THINGS BACKWARDS. LOOK AT THE PATTERN OF WHITE PEOPLE SHOW UP TO MEETINGS TO EXPRESS CONCERNS REGARDING PLANNING. RESIDENTIAL AFFORDABILITY, INFRINGEMENT ON THE ABILITY TO PROTECT THE RESIDENTS PEACE AND QUIET, OBTRUSIVE AND EFFICIENT TRAFFIC PATTERNS. FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND BUILDING COMMERCE BLUNDERS. THIS WILL BE YOUR LEGACY AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, BUT YOU CAN CHANGE THAT. COLUMBUS AND ITS SURROUNDINGS HAVE HAD ACCELERATED CHANGE IN THE LAST 3 TO 5 YEARS. REEXAMINING YOUR PLANS SHOULD CHANGE AS RAPID AS THE CONDITIONS AROUND YOU. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO STOP REEXAMINE YOUR GOALS AND LEADERSHIP AND STEP AWAY FROM THE OLD WAY OF THE WAY. WE'VE ALWAYS DONE THINGS THAT YOU CAN MAINTAIN THE HOMETOWN FIELD. GROVE CITY, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR. SO THAT'S MY COMMENTS. THANK YOU FOR THE TIME. THANK YOU. OKAY? MISS MCLELLAND. HOLD YOUR COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES. IF YOU COULD BE SORRY, SO THANKS.

          I'M A REALTOR. I THINK MOST OF YOU GUYS KNOW THAT VENEREAL PER FOR 30 YEARS AND, UH, SO I'VE BEEN TAKING A POLL OF MY REALTOR FRIENDS, UH, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE SENSE. 
          BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE I'VE CO OPT WITH. OVER THE YEARS. I VALUE THEIR OPINIONS. UH, SOME HAVE BEEN LONGER THAN ME IN REAL ESTATE, SO I'M JUST A LITTLE BIT SHORTER. I HAD ONE QUESTION. 
          [00:50:01]
THIS IS MY QUESTION. WILL IT HURT? OR HELP THE VALUE OF OUR HOMES ON RANGE ROAD, BABY ROAD ENOUGH ROAD GROVE CITY. AND WITH ONE EXCEPTION, THE RESPONSE WAS NORMALLY ONE WORD BECAUSE WE'RE ALL IN A HURRY, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. THE MAYOR MENTIONED HIMSELF AT A PLEASANT TOWNSHIP MEETING'S WANTS TO LIVE NEXT TO A BLIGHTED AREA WITH DATA CENTERS, SOLAR PANELS. BUT SPOKE VOLUMES TO ME. SO IT GOT ME THINKING. WHY DON'T I JUST ASK? THESE ARE MY OPINIONS. I'LL ASK MY FELLOW REALTORS AND IT WAS HANDS DOWN. SURE YOU KNOW, CHRISTIE, THAT'S GOING TO HURT YOU. IT'S GOING TO HURT THE AREA . IT'S GOING TO TAKE YOUR PROPERTY VALUES. THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO NOW ONE PERSON AND I WILL SAY THIS IN ALL FAIRNESS, HE'S A BROKER. I RESPECT. IS IT OPINION AND HE'S A SALESPERSON. RIGHT? AND HE SAID TO ME YOU KNOW WHAT? THERE'S A HOUSE FOR EVERYBODY. SOMEBODY MIGHT NOT MIND HAVING THAT NOISE AND THEN LIGHT POLLUTION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AND MAYBE THIS PERSON IS GONNA BUY IT. MAYBE THEY'LL FLIP IT OVER TO HERE AND MAYBE THEY'LL FLIP IT BACK TO HERE. BUT I WANTED YOU GUYS TO KNOW WITH THIS FREE AND ANNEXATION AND I'M NOT REALLY SURE. I THINK THEY'RE ASKING YOU GUYS. TO A COME TO TERMS OF AGREEMENT BEFORE THEY KEEP MAKING THEIR PLANS. I'M NOT SURE SO I HAD LOTS OF THINGS TO SAY TODAY BUT MY BOTTOM ONCE DON'T TAKE OUR PROPERTY VALUES. WE'VE INVESTED OUR LIFE. OUR TIME FOR MONIES ARE MORTGAGE PAYMENTS EVERYTHING INTO THIS. AND WITH THE SWEEP OF A PEN. SOMEBODY THINKS IT'S A GREAT IDEA. IT'S NOT A GREAT IDEA. NOT THERE. I LIKE IDEAS. I LIKE SOLAR ENERGY . I THINK WE SHOULD ALL BE OPEN TO ALL THESE THINGS. BUT NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. OKAY? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, OKAY? MISSOURI, EHRLICH. OKAY? UM. MISS UH, HISPANO. MHM DID OKAY, BARROW. CHEERS OKAY. THANK YOU, MR MCCLURE. ALRIGHT. YOU SIGNED UP. 
          YEAH, LIKE THE OTHER WEEK OR NOT. OKAY ALRIGHTY, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. UM WE HAVE, UH, THIS IS IT, UH, LITTLE TROUBLE READING? IS IT BARNES? BURNS BURNS SORRY. MR AND MRS BURNS, WHICH EITHER OR. YES. MANNING'S NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. UM AND IT WAS R. J BURNS 963 CLIMATE HOUSE DRIVE GROWTH CITY, AND THAT'S THE NIGHT LIFE, YOU KNOW. SEE YOU, MAN. WE JUST WANTED TO COME OVER TONIGHT BECAUSE WE RECENTLY MOVED HERE FROM NORTH SIDE OF COLUMBUS. UH AND JUST REALLY ARE ENJOYING THE VALUES IN THE COMMUNITY OF GROWTH TO THE OHIO BUT ONE ALARMING CONCERN THAT WE HAVE KNOWING IT IS 2023 IS THE LACK OF CELLPHONE SERVICE THROUGHOUT THEIR CITY. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT I, YOU KNOW, I WASN'T REALLY SURE OF. ONCE WE GOT DOWN HERE. I WAS JUST I GUESS USED TO IT IN A PLACE WHERE IF YOU USE YOUR CELL PHONE SERVICE, YOU WERE ABLE TO CONNECT AND TALK WITH OTHER PEOPLE. UM YOU KNOW OUTSIDE. I MEAN, JUST IN TERMS OF IF THERE'S AN EMERGENCY OR SOMETHING THAT CAME UP JUST ANYWHERE ON STRING TOWN FOR US AND BUCKEYE PARKWAY, WHERE EAST OF BUCKEYE PARKWAY HAS BEEN REALLY BAD. WE HAVE TO SOMETIMES DRIVE TO MCDOWELL ROAD JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A CALL CAN ACT IF WE WANT TO CONNECT WITH SOMEBODY, WHICH YOU KNOW IT'S THIS ALARMING IF WE HAVE. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY SHE'S PREGNANT. 
          WE'RE STARTING A FAMILY AND THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT'S AGAIN KNOWING THAT THE GROWTH IS OCCURRING. JUST ADAPTING TO THAT WITH ALL AVENUES WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE, UM ARE JUST REALLY WANTING TO BRING UP TONIGHT KNOWING THAT WE ARE EIGHT MILES SOUTH OF THE CAPITAL CITY OF OHIO. UM IT IS, YOU KNOW , THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WERE GOING. WE WERE REALLY THINKING ABOUT AND WE HAVE A T AND T WE'VE HEARD FROM FROM FRIENDS WITH VERIZON THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME. SO TWO OF THE MOST, YOU KNOW, I'D SAY POWERHOUSES IN TERMS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SERVICE. AND SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT, UM AND WE HAVE WIFI AS WELL. THAT HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, HAS ISSUES THERE SO IT'S NOT LIKE JUST USED WIFI COLONY. AND GET THE SAME RESULTS. THERE'S BEEN TIMES WHERE SHE'S YOU KNOW, I'M NOT GONNA SHE'S NOT BEING ABLE TO REACH ME WHETHER SHE'S ON WIFI OR GOING OVER TO SELF SERVICE. AND UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST AGAIN SOMETHING THAT'S WHY WOULD YOU ASSUME THE STRUCTURE WITH GO WITH THE KIND OF 2023 AS WELL AS 
          [00:55:05]
THE EXPANSION OF GROWTH CITY IN THAT AREA, BUT WE DO WANT LASTLY , THANKFUL TO COUNCILMAN CIGARETTES FOR HIS PROMPT RESPONSE TO US AND UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUE. AND SO WE DO APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR TIME AND KNOWING THAT YOU ARE YOU'RE PUTTING IN TIME AND EFFORT FOR US AND SO VIDEO ULTIMATELY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT I'VE GOTTEN SEVERAL EMAILS AND THAT I LIVED DOWN THERE DOWN IN THE AREA AND I HAVE VERIZON AND I THINK IT DEPENDS ON YOUR CARRIER. WELL THINGS ARE. I'VE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH VERIZON FOR WHERE I LIVE OFF A BUCKEYE PARKWAY. BUT UM, I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT IS GETTING TO BE I'VE HEARD FROM PEOPLE IN THE LANDINGS RIGHT THERE AT THE CORNER OF BUCKEYE AND WHITE ROAD . I'VE HEARD FROM YOU FOLKS OUT THERE AT THE PINNACLE QUARRY I'VE HEARD FROM OTHER PEOPLE, UH , ON THERE, AND MR WELL, MR SMITH'S GOT HIS HAND IF I WAS GOING TO CALL HIM, MR BOZO, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE DO AS A CITY. WE DO NOT PUT UP CELL TOWERS. THIS IS A PRIVATE BUSINESS THAT DOES THAT . SO MR SMITH, WOULD YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT OR IS IT? I BELIEVE MR HURLEY IS GOING TO HURT HER OPINION, ALL RIGHT? THANK YOU BECAUSE YOU DESERVE AN ANSWER ON THIS BECAUSE IT'S STOCKED. THE SELF PEOPLE ARE TELLING US IS THE CITY ON HERE THEY ARE. YES, THEY ARE. YEAH THEY ARE. PEOPLE HAVE GONE INTO THE SPRINT STORE . UM THEY'VE GONE TO A T AND T ON BUCKEYE PARKWAY. AND THEY'RE SAYING, UH, PEOPLE CALLING AND THEY'RE SAYING TALK TO THE CITY AND THEY'RE TELLING THEM THAT WE ARE UNWILLING TO PUT UP CELL TOWERS. SO HMM. HI. MY NAME IS TODD HURLEY. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION CITY INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR THE CITY CLUB CITY. 
          UM, I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 30 YEARS. UM THE PROBLEM IS YOU'RE SPEAKING OF IS ONE THAT'S NOT NEW TO US. NEXT ONE THAT, UM, I HAD I WOULD. I HAD ALMOST A FARO WHEN IT STARTED. YOU KNOW, I HAD A LOT OF HAIR AND IT IS IT IS, UM UH, NERVE WRACKING. IT'S FRUSTRATING. AND WE DEAL WITH WE DEAL WITH IT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PUBLIC SAFETY. UM, WE HAVE UM, CELLULAR CONNECTIVITY TO ALL ALL OF OUR POLICE. THEY VEHICLES ALL OF OUR FIRE VEHICLE. SO THE CITY OF GROWTH CITY MANAGERS I T FOR JACKSON PLEASANT PRAIRIE TOWNSHIP IN FRANKLIN COUNTY TOWNSHIP AND PICKAWAY COUNTY AND JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP IN MADISON COUNTY, SO IT IS A VERY COMMON, UM, PROBLEM THAT WE ENTERTAIN WHEN WE TALK ABOUT CELLULAR COVERAGE, AND YOU ARE CORRECT STORY. IT DOESN'T MATTER THE CARRIER WHETHER IT'S VERIZON OR 18 TEAM, WE HAVE BOTH AND WE EVEN HAVE THE BENEFIT TO HAVE FIRST MET, WHICH IS THE PRIORITY FOR FIRST RESPONDERS ON THE 18 T NETWORK, AND IT'S UM, BUT IT STILL DOESN'T HELP US IN AREAS WHERE THERE ARE THE COVERAGE IS SPOTTY. WE HAVE A PRODUCT THAT WE RUN ON OUR PUBLIC SAFETY VEHICLES CALLED NET MOTION. UM IT USED TO BE NET NOTIONAL COUNTY. BUT IT'S NOT MOTION DIAGNOSTICS. WE GET HEAT MAPS OF THE CITY BECAUSE WE HAVE VEHICLES THAT DRIVE EVERY ROAD IN THE CITY. 24 73 65 AND WE GENERATE THESE MAPS. WE PROVIDED THEM TO 80 T AND VERIZON. UM SINCE WE ARE THEIR CUSTOMERS TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND WHERE THERE ARE HOLES IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND UM, WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR YEARS. AND. USUALLY THEY SAY WHAT PEOPLE HAVE OUR ENGINEERS LOOK AT? IT WILL COME OUT. WELL, THEY'LL TUNE SOME TOWERS, BUT THE REALITY IS THAT WE ACTUALLY WE NEED MORE TOWERS IN GROUP CITY. OH, MAN, SHE'S GETTING SQUARE. THAT WOMEN WOMEN IT AND I'LL WRAP THAT SO I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION. AND, YOU KNOW , UM, THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR HAS DIRECTED ME OVER THE YEARS TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. WE TRY TO COMMUNICATE THAT WITH WITH THE PROVIDERS THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE IS THERE'S NO REGULATION FOR US. WE HAVE NO ENFORCEMENT WITH THE CELLULAR CARRIERS. YOU KNOW, IT'S YOU KNOW, AT TIMES, YOU KNOW, WE ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN YOU CALLING AND COMPLAINING TO YOUR PROVIDER ABOUT YOUR COVERAGE, AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT AND RIGHT, YOU KNOW, I WOULD LOVE TO BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU GOING. YEAH. WHEN YOU WHEN YOU'RE COMPLAINING, BECAUSE YOU YOU YOU'RE YOU'RE RIGHTFULLY SO TO DO SO AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT AND WE HAVE THE EMPIRICAL DATA TO BACK THAT UP AS WELL. AND WE PROVIDED THAT TO THEM, BUT RECENTLY, WE'VE CONTACTED BOTH VERIZON AND 18. 86 WE YOU KNOW, WE ARE CUSTOMERS OF THOSE TWO PROVIDERS. AND YOU'RE RIGHT. 
          THERE ARE THE TWO BIGGEST PROVIDERS IN THE INDUSTRY. YOU WOULD ARGUE T MOBILE BUT 
          [01:00:04]
TEAMWORK. THEY SHARE TOWERS AND SOME OF THOSE, SO IT'S YOU KNOW , YOU CAN ARGUE ABOUT ONE OR THE OTHER. BUT ANYWAY, UM SO WE DO HAVE A YOU KNOW, TIMIDLY TRYING TO SCHEDULE A MEETING WITH A T AND T TO TALK ABOUT LOCATION TO LOCATE ANOTHER MACRO TOWER. SO THE BIGGER TOWERS, SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU KNOW WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THOSE, AND I THINK YOU'RE RIGHTFULLY SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT YOU KNOW THE IMPACT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE PROPERTY TO PROPERTY VALUES FOR THE LIVABILITY OF A COMMUNITY. THOSE ARE IMPORTANT ASPECTS THAT I THINK WE HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN WE WHEN WE REVIEW THOSE APPLICATIONS. THEY COME TO US AND SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM AND I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT. BUT I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE IN THE PAST. SO, UM AND I'VE ALWAYS UM, MAYBE DESPITE MY BEST EVER INTEREST. I'VE SPOKEN FOR THOSE BECAUSE I THINK I YOU KNOW , I KNOW THE IMPORTANCE FOR OUR PUBLIC SAFETY VEHICLES IN OUR PUBLIC SAFETY CREWS HAVE THAT THAT THAT SOLID CELLULAR CONNECTIVITY IN THE IN IN, UM IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HMM. WE'LL DO OUR BEST EFFORTS TO HELP THE PROVIDERS UNDERSTAND WHERE OUR HOLES ARE. WHERE ARE OUR IMPACT ? UM WHERE WE ARE IMPACTED. MY BROTHER IN LAW LIVES IN INDIAN TRAILS ON CHIP WALL. AND EVERY TIME I COME TO HIS HOUSE, HE YOU KNOW HE ALWAYS TAKES THAT OPPORTUNITY. CAN I TRIED TO CALL YOU BUT I COULDN'T KIND OF THING. AND SO HE HE KNOWS THAT I'M JUST AS FRUSTRATED AS HE IS. SO AGAIN. I'VE SET THEM UP ON THE WIFI CALLING BECAUSE I'M THE I T FOR THE FAMILY. SO UM, SO YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, WE WILL DO WHAT WE CAN DO. BUT YOU KNOW, AT TIMES, I FEEL LIKE I'M THROWING ROCKS AGAINST THE WALL, AND IT'S NOTHING'S HAPPENING. SO UM WHEN ENTERTAINMENT QUESTIONS . CHRIS YOU DEFINITELY GOT A T AND T S ATTENTION AND THEY'RE DEFINITELY COMING TO THE TABLE. IT WOULD BE NICE TO FIND THE AMANDA MOORE OR WHATEVER HER NAME IS EQUIVALENT OF HORIZON AND TRY TO GET HIM TO THE TABLE . AND I MEAN, THIS IS THE UPRISING. YOU MENTIONED INDIAN TRAILS. PATHETIC ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC, AND I DON'T THINK I THINK THERE'S POCKETS OF FRUSTRATION ACROSS THE WHOLE CITY, INCLUDING INCLUDING WHEN WE HAVE MASS SCATTERING FOR COUNTY EVENTS IN DOWNTOWN GROSS CITY. I MEAN, IT'S NOT EASY PICKING UP, VERIZON HAD AN APPLICATION WITH THE TOWNSHIP. I BELIEVE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO FOR A SPOT NEXT TO THE SUBSTATION ON SIEGE ROAD, AND I THINK THAT WAS THAT WAS REJECTED. AT THAT POINT. UM WE RESPECTED VERIZON REQUESTS. IT'S A CATCH 22 IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW , SOMETIMES OUR OWN. WE'RE STANDING IN THAT REGARD JUST SO EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND. MR SMITH WAS PROBABLY GONNA BRING THIS UP. WE'RE UNDER THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS ACT ON THERE, AND THEY DETERMINE, UM THE CITY HAS NO, IT DOES NOT HAVE THE JURISDICTION OVER. UM THOSE PRIVATE COMPANIES, BUT, UM SEVERAL YEARS AGO. UM WHAT'S IT HORIZON OR A T AND T THAT PUT UP THE TOWER BY THINK IT WAS AN IN THE PENDANT GROUP THAT JUST BUILT A CHALLENGE MEMBERS LEASING OUT SPOT ON AS MR SHOCKEY SAYING IS WHEN IT COMES TO CELL TOWERS, WE HAVE REGULATIONS IN OUR CODE SAYING WHERE WE WANT THEM TO GO IN A PERFECT WORLD. BUT THE REALITY IS FEDERAL LAW TRUMPS THAT SO IF THEY CAN COME IN WITH THEIR ENGINEERS AND SHOW THAT THERE'S HOLES IN CERTAIN PLACES FRANKLY , THEY WIN EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK AND TWICE ON SUNDAY. UM THE HARD PART IS GETTING THEM IN THERE GETTING THEM TO COME TO US AND SAY WE WANT TO PUT IT HERE. AND HERE'S WHY WE NEED TO PUT IT THERE. BUT YEAH, THE UNDER THE FEDERAL LAW, THEY CAN PUT IT ON BASICALLY WHERE THEY NEED TO PUT THEM REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE SAY. OR FRANKLY, THE TOWNSHIP SAYS, IT'S JUST A QUESTION OF GETTING THEM TO COME IN AND DO IT. MR SMITH, BUT YOU MENTIONED A PROACTIVE STANCE THAT WE COULD TAKE WITH A COMPANY THAT I AM FROM. YEAH SO WE HAD A PART OF MY GROUP. WE HAD A COMPANY COME IN. WHO WHAT THEY DO IS THEY COME INTO COMMUNITIES. THEY DO ALL THE MAPPING OF WHERE THE HOLES ARE, AND THEN THEY TRY TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITES WHERE TOWERS COULD GO TO FILL THOSE HOLES, AND THEN THEY ACTIVELY GO OUT AND SELL SPOTS ON THOSE TOWERS FOR THOSE COMPANIES. AND THE NICE THING IS THEY DO ALL THE MAPPING SO THAT YOU KNOW THEY CAN JUST GO TO COMPANY AND SAY, HEY, YOU HAVE A WHOLE HERE. WE'RE GOING TO PUT A TOWER HERE YOU CAN GET ON OUR TOWER. UM AND I AM IN THE PROCESS OF SETTING UP A MEETING WITH THOSE FOLKS WITH MR BOZA SO HE CAN TALK TO THEM. THEY TRY TO LOOK FOR PUBLIC SITES THAT PROPERTY WE MAY OWN SCHOOLS MAY OWN TOWNSHIPS MAY OWN BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE EASIEST TO DEAL WITH. 
          AND THEN, UM, LIKE I SAID, THEY ACTIVELY GO OUT AND MARKET THEM FOR US TO TRY TO GET THOSE SPOTS FILLED. AND YOU REALIZE WE HAVE WE DO HAVE ZONING WHERE THEY CAN GO. FOR EXAMPLE, YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT ZONED FOR A CELL TOWER, BUT THEY COULD. THEY MAY WANT TO COME IN AND PUT ON. 
          [01:05:06]
YOU KNOW THE NEW POND RIGHT THERE, UM, DOWN AT THE BY THE BRIDGE. UM THEY MAY WANT TO COME IN AND PUT A CELL TOWER RIGHT THERE. AND THEN THAT'S WHEN WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS ACT BECAUSE IT'S NOT THROUGH THE BEST OF THE COMMUNITY AND NOT ZONED IN AN AREA. WE DON'T REALLY DO IT IN A COMMERCIAL OR OR INDUSTRIAL AREA ON THERE, AND THEN THE OTHER PART IS, YOU KNOW THERE'S A TOWER RIGHT BEHIND YOU ON 104, BUT IT MAY NOT BE YOUR CARRIER. 
          THAT'S THE INTERESTING PART OF IT. AND FIRST INDIAN TRAILS WE HAVE, UM OVER THERE AT THE GROVE CITY HIGH SCHOOL, THERE'S TOWERS , BUT THAT MAY NOT BE THE SAME CARRIERS THERE AND THERE'S OVER THERE BY THE STATION FIRE STATION ON ON 6 65 AND THAT SO, UM I THINK THIS WILL HELP. A LOT OF MR SMITH CAN UTILIZE THIS UNDER WANTED TO ADD. I THINK THAT ADVOCACY BY THE CITY IS OBVIOUSLY PART OF THIS DISCUSSION, BUT WE'RE IN A REGION THAT IS GROWING EXPLOSIVELY. AND THIS IS YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHERE UM, THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN PLACE TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND AND I AM BUSINESS AND THE TOWN CENTER AND HAVE HAD IT HERE FOR 23 YEARS HAVE HAD VERIZON FOR 23 YEARS AND ONLY IN THE LAST YEAR . AM I OUT ON THE FRONT PORCH DANGLING OVER THE RAILING, TRYING TO KEEP A CALL AFLOAT BECAUSE I'M CUTTING IN AND OUT SO UM, IT REALLY, TO ME BECOMES THAT LARGER DISCUSSION AND IT'S NOT UNIQUE AS MR SMITH BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION, THE SERVICE OF THIS ENTITY, ALL OF THE SUBURBS IN CENTRAL OHIO ARE DEALING WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. UM, AND THE CRAZY PART ABOUT IT. AND WHAT CONCERNS ME THE MOST IS THAT WE'VE ALL GOTTEN AWAY FROM THAT LAND WINE. THIS IS OUR WAY OF COMMUNICATING THAT WE HAVE A HEALTH EMERGENCY OR THAT WE HAVE A FIRE IN OUR HOUSE AND SO FROM A PUBLIC SAFETY STANDPOINT, I WOULD SAY THAT ADVOCACY NEEDS TO GO UP, NOT JUST BUT CITY LEVEL, BUT WE NEED TO BE GOING UP THE LINE TO OUR LEGISLATORS AND OUR REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS. EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE AWARE THAT THAT INFRASTRUCTURE REALLY NEEDS TO BE BE ABLE TO KEEP PACE WITH DEVELOPMENTS IN THIS REGION, AND THAT'S YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO END IN SIGHT RIGHT NOW AND CONSENSUAL OF PIPES. ALL RIGHT, MR MAYOR. I'M SORRY. YEAH, I FIRST MR MR BURKE. WE HAVE APOLOGIZED. WE WANT HIM FROM CITY, BUT I SORT OF WANT TO COMMITTEE THAT HAS 40 OTHER CITIES IN IT. THIS IS THE SAME BATTLE WE'RE HAVING WITH EVERY OTHER CITY AROUND IN OHIO, AND PARTICULARLY THAT FROM WHEN WE DEAL WITH, AND, UH WELL, I WILL PROMISE YOU THIS WEEK WE'RE GOING TO SEND A LADDER TO VERIZON IN 18 10 PUTTING THEM ON THE OTHER STATE. DO YOU FOLKS COME, THIS COUNCIL COMPLAINED ABOUT THE RECEPTION AND ALL THE OTHER TECHNICAL PROBLEMS BECAUSE THIS THING ABOUT BLAMING THE CITY OF BOLOGNA, UH, THEY CAN BLAME THE WHOLE STATE OF OHIO BECAUSE IT'S BROADBAND CAME COMMITTEE THAT WERE ON IT IS THE SAME ISSUE. THEY KNOW WHERE THE HOLES ARE. THEY KNOW IT MORE PRECISELY THAN ANYTHING WE CAN EVER DO. AND THEY'RE IGNORING IT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING WHERE THE LOW HANGING FRUIT IT IT'S JUST PLAIN. I'D SAY VERIZON IF THEY'RE STANDING IN FRONT OF ME. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA PUT A LADDER TOGETHER AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND AND CIGARETTES SEASON NOT HAPPY. REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOU BEING IN OUR COMMUNITY SUPPRESSION.
