THE FIRST ONE IS ORDINANCE C 5525, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE, CAPITAL CITY LODGE NUMBER NINE. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING. AND I BELIEVE THERE WERE SOME COMMENTS FROM THE ADMINISTRATION. YES, JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS PARTICULAR LEGISLATION. IT AUTHORIZES A THREE YEAR AGREEMENT WITH THE FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE THAT IS RETROACTIVE TO JULY 1ST, 2025. IT CALLS FOR 4% INCREASES IN EACH OF THE THREE YEARS. SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS ARE ADDITIONAL LONGEVITY BRACKET OF BONUS OF $2,250 FOR SERVICES ABOVE 25 YEARS. IT INCREASES THE SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL ALLOWANCE FOR OFFICERS WORKING FROM 3 P.M. TO 7 A.M. DOLLAR TEN AN HOUR TO $1.25 AN HOUR INCREASES THEIR UNIFORM ALLOWANCE PER YEAR FROM $1200 TO $1400, AND SOME OTHER ITEMS, AND IT ADDS A ANOTHER HOLIDAY, JUNETEENTH, TO THEIR AGREEMENT THAT CORRELATES WITH OTHER CITY EMPLOYEES. AND AGAIN, IT INCREASES THE SALARY FOR PATROLMEN FROM 2024, FROM $110,032 TO 2000 TO $123,771 IN YEAR THREE. FOR SERGEANT, THEIR PAY WILL INCREASE FROM $126,797 TO $142,629 PER YEAR, AND FOR LIEUTENANTS, THEY WILL RISE FROM $142,917 TO $160,762 PER YEAR. AND WHEN YOU ADD ON THEIR FRINGE BENEFITS IN TERMS OF MEDICAL OVERTIME, HOLIDAY PAY FOR A POLICE OFFICER AT TOP SALARY, THE COST IS 206,000 $643,000 A YEAR. FOR SERGEANT, IT'S $230,002 A YEAR, AND FOR LIEUTENANT, IT'S $246,740 A YEAR. AND THIS PARTICULAR CONTRACT PUTS US ABOUT FIFTH IN THE COUNTY AMONG THE 15 JURISDICTIONS.

I FIRST WANT TO SAY, JUST TAKE A MOMENT AND SAY HOW GRATEFUL I AM TO BE ABLE TO SERVE THIS WONDERFUL COMMUNITY, TO SERVE WARD FIVE SPECIFICALLY. IT IS SUCH AN HONOR, AND I'M
[00:15:04]
HONESTLY EXCITED TO LEARN FROM THOSE WHO'VE BEEN HERE AND CONTINUE TO GROW IN THIS POSITION. I DID JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT A VERY PRESSING, PRESSING ISSUE IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT WE'VE NOTICED THROUGHOUT FRANKLIN COUNTY AND THROUGHOUT THE NATION. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF RHETORIC GOING ON THAT'S BEEN DIRECTED TOWARDS OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES, PARTICULARLY THE SOMALI COMMUNITY, AND IT'S CAUSED A LOT OF FEAR AND UNCERTAINTY FOR MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS. I BELIEVE AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS IN GROVE CITY FEEL SAFE REGARDLESS OF THEIR BACKGROUND, THEIR CULTURE, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, WHERE THEY'RE FROM. WE HAVE A VERY DIVERSE COMMUNITY IN GROVE CITY. I THINK THAT DESERVES TO BE RECOGNIZED AND EMBRACED. I ALSO WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE INDIVIDUALS IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT HAVE BEEN STRONG SUPPORT AND ALLIES TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE STOOD UP AND FOUGHT BACK AND SPOKEN UP AND POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT THIS VERY PRESSING AND CONCERNING ISSUE. AND I I'M HONESTLY EAGER AND READY TO GET TO WORK TO MAKE GROVE CITY MORE POSITIVE, MORE WELCOMING, AND TO REALLY JUST GROW, RIGHT? WE'VE GROWN SO MUCH HERE IN GROVE CITY, AND I'M EXCITED TO SEE HOW THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS GO. THANK YOU, MISS ANDERSON. THANK YOU. JUST A WELCOME TO THE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING THROUGH GOALS AND BRINGING EVERYBODY UP TO SPEED ON A LOT OF THE PRIORITIES THAT THE LAST COUNCIL ENDED WITH. THANK YOU, MR. HOLINKA. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE EVERYONE THAT TOOK SOME TRUST AND VOTED FOR ME IN THE ELECTION. AND I COMMIT TO YOU THAT I WILL ALWAYS WORK IN THE COMMUNITY'S BEST INTEREST. I HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE AGENDAS. I TEND TO BE INDEPENDENT. MY THINKING AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH EVERYONE ON COUNCIL. I'VE ALREADY ASKED TAMMY AND THE SENIOR MEMBERS HERE A MILLION QUESTIONS, SO THAT MIGHT GET OLD AFTER A WHILE, BUT BEAR WITH ME IF I DO SOMETHING, SOMETHING A LITTLE, A LITTLE DIFFERENT. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY. I WAS AGAIN, STEVEN, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS FOR TONIGHT? NO, SIR. THANK YOU. MISS KELLY. COUNCIL DOES HAVE AN ART CONCERN THAT THEY SUPPORT. AS YOU SEE, WE HAVE A NEW ART SHOW IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS THIS EVENING. ALL OF THE ITEMS ARE FOR SALE. THIS SHOW IS A GROUP OF PRINTS FROM WOOD CARVINGS. SO ENJOY. AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, LET ME KNOW. ALL RIGHT, MR. HOLT. TAMMY, COULD YOU PUT THE AGENDA UP FOR THE ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING? THIS IS PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR THOSE IN THE THE AUDIENCE.THERE WAS A ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING HELD BEFORE THE COUNCIL MEETING THIS EVENING. AND THIS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THINGS ARE DONE HERE. SO WHEN YOU HAVE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE HAVE TO APPOINT A NEW COUNCIL PRESIDENT. AND THAT'S WHY YOU SEE TED BERRY SITTING HERE AT THE MOMENT. YOU'RE USED TO SEEING CHRISTINE THERE. SO NOW YOU'LL SEE, TED, WE KEPT THE CLERK OF COUNCIL. I GUESS SHE'S DOING A GOOD JOB. SO WE LET HER STAY ON. SEATING ASSIGNMENTS, YOU'LL NOTICE, ARE DIFFERENT. THAT'S TO THE PREFERENCE OF THE PRESIDENT, I GUESS, AND ACCEPTED BY THE MEMBERS. AND SO YOU'LL SEE PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT SEATS. I, HOWEVER, STILL HAVE THE SAME SEAT, SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO CHANGE. WE ALSO CHANGED COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS. SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE. ALAN HE DID FINANCE INSTEAD OF ME. YOU SAW GEORGE DO LANDS INSTEAD OF JODY.
AND THAT'S THE ONLY DIFFERENCES FOR TONIGHT. BUT THE OTHER FOLKS HAVE DIFFERENT COMMITTEES.
SO FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS, YOU'LL SEE THOSE FOLKS DO THOSE COMMITTEE AGENDAS, AND THEY'LL BE HANDLING THE ISSUES THAT ARE BROUGHT FORWARD IN THEIR COMMITTEE. AND REALLY, THE OTHER STUFF IS JUST HOUSEKEEPING. SO I JUST JUST A MINUTE TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED SINCE THE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE. SO YOU'D UNDERSTAND THAT. AND BEYOND THAT, I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER FURTHER COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. HOLT. AS NOTED IN THE WHEN WE WERE IN THE CAUCUS MEETING, WE WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO. WE HAVE THE WORK THAT WAS LEFT OVER FROM THE LAST COUNCIL THAT WE THAT WE'VE GOT TO WORK LOOK AT. AND SO MR. HOLT IS TAKING ON IS TAKING ON THE ADMINISTRATION ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE CHAIR. SO HE WILL BE COLLECTING ALL THE COUNCIL'S. RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRIORITIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THEN
[00:20:04]
WE WILL HAVE A RETREAT SOMETIME IN FEBRUARY TO MAYBE SOONER IF WE CAN GET EVERYBODY SCHEDULED TO WORK TO THINGS AND GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS, BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT IN FRONT OF US. WE HAVE, OF COURSE, MISS ANDERSON'S, OUR NEW PARKS CHAIR. WHO'S GOING TO BE, I HOPE, WORKING WITH MR. BOZO CLOSELY SO WE CAN GET A LOOK. WE CAN LOOK AT LOCATIONS AND GET THAT DECIDED BECAUSE WE GOT A LOT OF WORK THERE. AND THEN OF COURSE, WE HAVE THE CHARTER AND SOME OTHER, SOME OTHER BIG THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING AS WELL. SO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OF ANY OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE FORTUNATE, I MEAN, PROBABLY MORE FORTUNATE THAN WE'VE EVER HAVE, IF WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS ON THE COUNCIL, AND THAT'S WHAT'S REALLY EXCITING. I MEAN, SO IT'S I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF FUN. AND WE'RE I THINK WE'RE ALL GEARED UP TO GET TO GET A REC CENTER TO THE, TO THE VOTERS AND SOME THINGS LIKE THAT. SO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, ASK US. AND WE
