UH, MAYOR, UH, THIS CO IS, UH, THERE'S, THIS CORNER IS GOING UNDER A TRANSITION.

THE PARCEL TO THE WEST IS SHOWN IN WHITE.

SO NEXT TO THE CROSS HATCH AREA IS A SITE LOCATED IN GROVE CITY.

SO IF YOU ADD THE UNHATCHED SITE WITH THE HATCH SITE TO THE EAST, THAT COMPOSES THE SITE FOR A BJ'S WHOLESALE, UH, USER.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION, MR. CHAIR? HELENKA? YES.

UM, IS THE DEVELOPER HERE FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT?

[00:15:01]

MATTHEW WILBER? YEP.

YOUR NAME? MATTHEW WEBER.

OKAY, GOT IT.

I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR AN OVERVIEW OF THE PLAN.

I KNOW THERE WAS LOTS SPLITS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS.

SURE.

BUT YEAH, YEAH.

JUST FOR PUBLIC RECORD, I CAN, I CAN, UH, I GUESS I'LL TRY TO SIMPLIFY IT, UH, IN THE SENSE THAT I, I CALL IT AN EXPAND AND REBRAND, UH, PORTION, IF YOU WILL, OF THIS, UH, OF, OF, UH, RUM FIELD ROAD, UH, MARLENE DRIVE AND, UH, GANTZ, THE BACK HALF OF THAT.

THERE'S AN EXISTING, UH, COMFORT, UH, SUITES AND A AND, UH, HOTEL THERE.

AND, UH, WE WERE WORKING ON THAT, UH, AS AN, UH, A LA QUINTA HOTEL.

WE'RE GOING TO EXPAND AND REBRAND THE COMFORT INN AND SUITES THE, UH, COMFORT SUITES.

THAT WILL BE A, IT IS, UH, INTENDED TO BE A AND I, THIS ONE IS THE TOWN PLACE SUITES IN SPRING HILL SUITES.

AND THEN, UM, AND THEN AT THE, UH, NORTHEAST CORNER WILL BE AT THIS TIME IN, IN, IN SUITES.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO, TO, UH, I GUESS TO BEST UTILIZE THIS PORTION OF THE, OF THE PROPERTY, UH, BRING, UH, THREE HOTELS, WHICH WOULD TOTAL, UH, 332, UH, ROOMS. AND WE'VE WORKED WITH THE CITY TO, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, TO SATISFY FIRE FOR ACCESS, UH, MEET THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

AND, AND WE DO HAVE, UH, TWO VARIANCES THAT ARE, OR DEVIATIONS THAT ARE REQUESTED, ONE FOR HEIGHT, AND THEN THE OTHER FOUR, UH, A FEW PARKING SETBACKS ON THE, UM, GANT ROADSIDE CHAIR.

LINGA? YES.

MAY I ASK QUESTIONS? SURE.

UM, TRAFFIC STUDY AND ON, ON YOUR PLANS, THERE WAS A SHEET ABOUT TRUCK TURNS.

AND SO, I MEAN, I HAVE CONCERN.

I, SO FIRST OF ALL, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT USE OF THIS SPACE.

I'M, I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROJECT, BUT I AM CONCERNED WITH THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT THIS IS GONNA GENERATE.

I MEAN, I THINK THAT THE, THE BED TAX IS GREAT FOR OUR, OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND.

UM, JUST THE INTERSECTION OF, OF GANT ROAD AND STRING TOWN ROAD IS ALREADY VERY HIGHLY CONGESTED.

AND SO I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT IN AND OUT OF THAT INTERSECTION.

I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S ANY, UH, ROAD IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE SUGGESTED OR HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED.

SO JUST KIND OF ASKING YOU QUESTIONS THAT YOU'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS OR HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS TO, TO THIS POINT THROUGH THE PROCESS, YOU KNOW, WITH THE CITY, IT, IT HAS NOT BEEN, UH, NECESSARILY A CONCERN TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

THE, THE MAJOR CONCERN WAS FIRE, UH, ACCESS IN AND AROUND, UH, THE, UH, FACILITY.

WE SATISFIED, UH, YOU KNOW, THOSE REQUIREMENTS AS FAR AS, UH, GETTING IN AND OUT.

UM, WE DO KNOW THAT THERE WAS DISCUSSION THAT THERE WOULD BE NO TRUCK PARKING.

UM, IN THERE.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE, UH, THE ITEMS DISCUSSED EARLY ON IN THE PROCESS.

AND, AND THAT'S NOT AN A, UH, UH, A CONCERN OR AN ISSUE AS FAR AS FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE TO LIMIT OR, OR, OR, UH, LIMIT THAT TO NO, NO TRUCK PARKING.

I, I THINK WHEN IT'S ALL DEVELOPED AND, AND EVERYTHING IS, UH, YOU KNOW, FUNCTIONING AS IT SHOULD, UH, WE'LL SAY IT'S PRIMARILY GOING TO BE AUTO PARKING, THERE ISN'T GONNA BE ROOM FOR, FOR ANYTHING ELSE.

UM, AND I THINK WE'VE, WE'VE KIND OF BROUGHT EVERYTHING TOGETHER NICELY WITH THE FLOW PATTERNS, AND YOU CAN GET IN AND OUT BETWEEN ALL THREE PARCELS, IF YOU WILL, IN A SMOOTH FASHION.

SO ON THE, UH, DEVELOPMENT, THE, THE PLAN HERE, THE MAPS OR SCHEMATICS HERE, THERE IS A, THE TRUCK TURN IS THIS, I'M, I GUESS I'M CON CONFUSED WHY THE TRUCKS WOULDN'T GO AROUND DOWN GANTZ TO RUM FIELD, BACK TO MARLENE, BUT THEY'RE SHOWING THEM NAVIGATING THROUGH THE PARCELS.

IS THAT JUST, THAT'S ACTUALLY A FIRE THAT, THAT WAS FOR FIRE.

FIRE FOR FIRE, THAT WAS TO SATISFY FIRE.

FIRE, YES.

CORRECT.

AND THAT'S, I THINK WHAT I WAS TRYING TO, TO SAY.

THE, THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THAT FIRE OR THAT TRUCK TURN, AND I, I, I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A LITTLE SCHEMATIC OF A FIRE TRUCK, MAYBE DOWN UNDER A YES.

SEE THAT, YEAH, RIGHT THERE.

SO THAT WAS PRIMARILY TO SATISFY, UM, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S REQUEST TO, TO SHOW THAT ADEQUATE FIRE PROTECTION COULD BE, YOU KNOW, PROVIDED TO THE SITE.

THERE TRUCKS WON'T BE ABLE TO GO IN AND OUT THROUGH THERE.

I MEAN, YOU'LL HAVE A DELIVERY TRUCK HERE OR THERE, A A, UH, YOU KNOW, REFUSE TRASH TRUCK, IF YOU WILL.

RIGHT.

IT'LL COME INTO SERVICE, BUT IF A FIRETRUCK CAN GET IN, UH, THOSE SMALL DELIVERY VEHICLES CAN DO SO AS WELL.

TRAFFIC, UH, STUDIES FROM ENGINEERING.

AND SO THERE'S NO, UM, TALK ABOUT ADDING ADDITIONAL TURN LANES OR ON GANTZ AT STRING TOWN.

YEAH, THAT WAS, THAT WAS NOT A, A CONCERN FROM TRAFFIC OR, YOU KNOW,

[00:20:01]

SO, UM, YOU KNOW, IF THAT, FOR SOME REASON, IF THAT DOES BECOME AN ISSUE, WE'RE ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, OPEN TO LOOK AT THAT.

BUT TO THIS POINT, FOR, FOR THE, UH, THE FLOWS ANTICIPATED IT WAS NOT, UH, AN ISSUE.

MAYBE THAT'S GONNA BE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR MR. ROUSH.

HAVE WE, ARE WE DO, DO WE HAVE ANY PLANS TO IMPROVE THAT INTERSECTION? OH, THANKS.

UM, NOT FOR THE INTERSECTION ITSELF, BUT WE ARE, THERE'S A-A-O-P-W-C APPLICATION RIGHT NOW TO, TO DO A MEDIAN LONG SPRINGTOWN ROAD THAT WOULD CONTROL A LOT OF THE INGRESS EGRESS OUT OFF OF, UH, SPRINGTOWN ROAD.

UH, AND OUR PERSPECTIVE HOTEL USERS ARE A GREAT USE IN THAT BACK PART OF STRING TOWN ROAD BECAUSE THEY'RE MORE DESTINATION DRIVEN.

YOU DON'T DRIVE BY AND SAY, I'M GONNA STAY THERE TONIGHT.

YOU MORE THAN LIKELY, YOU'VE, YOU'VE ALREADY DONE YOUR RESEARCH, FOUND YOUR LOCATIONS FOR THE NIGHT, AND YOU DRIVE TO THAT LOCATION.

SO IT'S, IN OUR MINDS, IT'S NOT A HEAVY TRAFFIC GENERATOR.

AND, UH, ADDITIONALLY, IF, IF YOU'RE DRIVING TO A HOTEL, MORE THAN LIKELY THOSE ARE OFF PEAK HOURS THAN WHAT YOU NORMALLY SEE ALONG A, A BUSY QUARTER LIKE STRING TOWN ROAD.

I JUST, UM, THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THAT.

I WAS CURIOUS WHETHER OR NOT THAT WAS GONNA BE MORE EVENING BASE TRAFFIC, UM, JUST BECAUSE OF THE OLD CHINA BELL SITES IN FRONT OF THAT, AND THAT'S ALSO GOING TO BE DEVELOPED INTO THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT BUSINESSES, AND THAT'S GONNA ALSO BE GENERATING SOME NEW TRAFFIC HERE AS WELL.

CORRECT.

AND I'M, I'M ASSUMING I, I'M SPEAKING ON A TURN HERE, BUT, UH, EMIT T SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THAT AS PART OF THE, UH, IMPROVEMENT TO STRING TOWN ROAD AND THE POTENTIAL MEDIAN.

SO IT'S, AND THEN ONE MORE QUESTION FOR YOU, MR. ROUSE.

THIS IS A CRA, CORRECT? YES, IT IS.

AND CAN YOU EXPLAIN FOR PUBLIC WHAT THAT MEANS AND HOW THAT WILL AFFECT OUR CITY? YEAH.

THE CRA IS A 15 YEAR ABATEMENT, OR 15 YEARS, OR A 10 YEAR, DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF CRA IT IS.

UH, FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION, WHICH THIS ONE WOULD BE, UH, THE NEW, THE NEW HOTEL WOULD BE, UH, TAX ABATED FOR 15 YEARS, A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE IMPROVEMENTS.

UH, THERE'LL STILL BE INCREASED VALUE GENERATED ON THE LAND, WHICH IS NOT DEBATABLE, BUT THAT, UH, THE REAL PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS BEING THE STRUCTURES WOULD BE ABATED FOR, UH, 15 YEARS.

AND I'M NOT SURE HOW THEY WOULD TREAT THE ADDITION, UH, TO THE EXISTING HOTEL TO TALK TO THE AUDITOR WITHOUT BE QUALIFIED AS A 10 YEAR OR 15 YEAR, UH, ABATEMENT.

BUT THERE IS, UH, ADVANTAGES TO DEVELOPING THAT AREA, OR ARE SCHOOLS BE MADE TO HOLD? NOT WITH AN ABATEMENT.

NO.

THE, THE ABATEMENT IS, IT'S, THIS IS A PRE 94 CRA.

THERE'S NO NEGOTIATIONS TO NO AGREEMENTS.

THIS IS JUST A STATUTORY, YOU'RE IN THE DISTRICT, YOU COMPLY, AND YOU, YOU GET THE ABATEMENT.

SO I PULLED THE TAX RECORDS ON THESE FOUR PARCELS.

AND CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, THE TAX, UM, PROPERTY TAXES THAT ARE BEING PAID ON THOSE PARCELS BEFORE ANY IMPROVEMENTS IS JUST AROUND $82,000 A YEAR.

MM-HMM .

SO ANYTHING, ANY IMPROVEMENTS? WELL, THE, THE IMPROVEMENTS WILL ONLY BE ON THE NEW IMPROVEMENTS.

IT WON'T GO BACK AND IT WON'T GO BACK TO THE EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS ALREADY ON THE STRUCK ON THE, ON THE PROPERTY.

SO THE 82,000 WOULD STILL STILL BE CORRECT.

IT'S ON THE IMPROVEMENTS UNLESS THEY'RE REMOVING BUILDINGS, WHICH I DON'T, I DON'T.

WE HAD NOT RECEIVED THAT INDICATION, BUT, UM, IT'S, THE TAX INCENTIVE IS ONLY ON NEW CONSTRUCTION.

I JUST WANTED YOU TO CLARIFY THAT JUST FOR PUBLIC.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE.

CHAIR.

CHAIR.

YES, GO AHEAD, MAYOR.

UH, TWO THINGS, UH, A MATTER OF ORDER, UH, WE DID NOT ASK THIS GENTLEMAN'S ADDRESS CORRECT.

WHY? IF THEY WERE FINISHED.

SO WE GOTTA MAKE SURE WE GOT YOUR ADDRESS.

ONE RIGHT THERE.

GET YOUR ADDRESS.

UH, THE OTHER THING, GO AHEAD.

IT'S MATTHEW WEBER, WEBER.

ENGINEERING SERVICES.

2 5 5 5 HARTVILLE ROAD R TOWN, OHIO, 4 4 2 7 2.

MR. LEG.

IF I COULD, UH, ONE QUESTION I SHOULD KNOW THE ANSWER TO, AND I'M SORRY I DON'T, UH, THE AIR CONDITIONING UNITS, MR. ROUSH, HOW ARE THEY BEING HANDLED ON THE INDIVIDUAL ROOM? HOW THE AIR CONDITIONER IS BEING HANDLED? IT, IT'LL BE AS A, AS A, AN OVERALL UNITS FOR THE, IT WILL BE, YEAH.

SO NOT BE A WINDOW WILL NOT BE WINDOW? NO, NOT AT ALL.

OKAY, PERFECT.

UH, THE OTHER ONE IS, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT PARCEL THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, UM, IS A WHOLE PARCEL, BUT THE ABATEMENT ON THE INITIAL BUILDING SHOULD BE RUNNING OFF, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YEARS IT'S BEEN THERE, SO WE PROBABLY SHOULD KNOW THAT.

I DIDN'T DIG THAT DEEP.

WELL, THAT SHOULD BE RUNNING OFF.

AND SO WE WILL HAVE AN ACCELERATOR ON THE, UH, UH, TAX TAXES.

COLLECTIVE MADE ONE.

MM-HMM .

THANK YOU, MR. YES, SIR.

MR. WEBER, UM, JUST GIMME THE NET INCREASE OF HOTEL ROOMS. SO WHAT, WHERE, WHAT, WHAT IS IT NOW THEN? IS IT GONNA BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT? I'M JUST LOOKING FOR THE BIG NUMBER HERE.

I'VE, I'VE GOT THE,

[00:25:01]

IT IS, WE WILL HAVE 92, THERE'LL BE 92 NEW ROOMS, AND I THINK IT IS AROUND 162.

LET ME SEE, BECAUSE SOME OF THEM, BECAUSE OF THE ONE BUILDING THAT'S A NEW BUILDING, I'M TRYING TO SEE HOW WE HAVE 'EM BROKEN OUT.

UM, THERE'S ABOUT 160, ABOUT 160 NEW ROOMS. 160 NEW ROOMS. I'M SORRY, TWO, ABOUT 216.

THERE'S ABOUT TWO A LITTLE OVER, IT'S OVER 200 NEW ROOMS. 200 NEW ROOMS. YEAH.

ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH.

I DON'T, I WASN'T LOOKING FOR THE TRICK QUESTION TODAY.

SO , I WAS JUST TRYING TO SEE IF WE WERE JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, REHA REHABILITATING OR IF WE'RE ACTUALLY ADDING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT.

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT TO ME.

THE ONE, THE ONE BUILDING AT, AT THE, UH, NORTH WILL, OR AT THE, UH, TOP OF THE PAGE, THE INN SUITES IS 92 ROOMS. AND THEN THE, UM, THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIND IS WHAT IS THE ADDITION ONTO THE EXISTING COMFORT SUITES? 'CAUSE WE DIDN'T BREAK THAT DOWN.

UM, UM, IF I MAY, UNDER PARKING, IT SAYS THAT THE CODE STANDARD IS ONE SPACE PER ROOM AND IT'S 332 FOR ALL THREE HOTELS.

THAT'S THE TOTAL, YEAH.

THE TOTAL ROOMS IS 332, AND WE HAVE 338 SPACES.

SO WE HAVE, UH, SIX ADDITIONAL SPACES.

I JUST, THE QUESTION WAS, YEAH, HOW MANY ADDIT MANY, 3 32 MINUS WHAT'S EXISTING? MINUS WHATEVER'S THERE NOW.

UH, UH, LANDS IS RESOLUTION CR 38 26.

I JUST DIDN'T BREAK 'EM OUT THAT WAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS.

I WOULD, UH, UM, ASK THAT WE, UH, SINCE IT'S HAD ITS SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING, I, UH, UH, MOVE THAT IT BE APPROVED.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? YOU CAN SIT DOWN.

AND THE LAST ITEM UNDER,

[Resolution CR-38-26 Approve the Development Plan for the Shoppes at North Meadows located at 2950 London-Groveport Road. Postponement requested.]

APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE SHOPS AT NORTH MEADOWS, LOCATED AT 29 50 LONDON GROVEPORT ROAD.

AND AT THE REQUEST OF THE PARTI, UH, PETITIONER, I'D LIKE TO MOVE THIS, UH, TO BE POSTPONED UNTIL THE, UH, 11 2 26 MEETING.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR THIS EVENING, MR. PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT BARRY.

POINT OF ORDER.

CAN I JUST ASK THE CLERK A QUESTION? UM, TAMMY, DID WE VOTE ON THE SECOND ITEM ON THE AGENDA, THE C 39 26 FOR THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT? YOU DID.

I THOUGHT WE JUMPED NO, FROM 28 26 TO THE INNOVATION DISTRICT.

DID WE MISS, DID YOU SHOW A ROLL CALL? I, YES, MA'AM.

AND THEN, UM, ONE OTHER POINT OF CLARITY WITH THE SAME RISER BROTHERS, BUT DOWN IN THE RESOLUTION C 29 26, WE DIDN'T HAVE DISCUSSION ON THIS.

THERE IS A STIPULATION.

WE USUALLY ASK IF THE, UM, PERSON IS HERE AND IF THEY'RE WILLING TO AGREE TO THE STIPULATION.

I DO NOT BELIEVE WE DID THAT ABOUT THE DUMPSTER, SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP FOR THE RECORD.

OH, YES.

I'LL, I'LL PUT THAT.

BUT IT IS, IT'S PART OF YOUR APPROVAL, SO REGARDLESS, IT WILL HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THAT STIPULATION.

UH, MS. ANDERSON FOR THE PARKS

[Ordinance C-36-26 Repeal Ord. C-22-25, an ordinance to require no further investment of staff time or financial resources at the Brookpark Middle School location outside of required utility bills or contractual obligations without the approval of City Council and to require the City Administrator to engage in negotiations to terminate or renegotiate the Brookpark Lease Agreement with Southwestern City Schools to the mutual benefit of all parties.]

COMMITTEE.

SO FOR PARKS TONIGHT, THANK YOU.

WE HAVE ORDINANCE C 36 26, AND AGAIN, THIS IS TO REPEAL ORDINANCE C 2225, WHICH IS AN ORDINANCE ABOUT STAFF TIME AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES AT BROOK PARK MIDDLE SCHOOL.

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT THIS IS POSTPONED AGAIN UNTIL NOVEMBER 16TH, SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO DISCUSS BROOK PARK.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TONIGHT FOR PARKS.

THAT'S A SPEED COMMITTEE RIGHT THERE.

I'LL

[00:30:01]

TELL YOU.

UNDER FINANCE.

[Resolution CR-39-26 Support Issue 6 - a Bond Issue for South Western City Schools.]

UH, CHAIRMAN STROM RUM.

SO, UH, FIRST WE WANNA DO RESOLUTION CR 39 26.

THIS IS TO SUPPORT ISSUE SIX, THE BOND ISSUE FOR THE SOUTHWESTERN CITY SCHOOLS.

SPEED.

IS ANYBODY TO SPEAK FOR THAT? YES.

RANDY BANKS, SUPERINTENDENT OF SOUTHWESTERN CITY SCHOOLS.

UH, HERE, UH, RANDY BANKS, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE.

38 0 5 MAR LANE DRIVE, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL MAYOR STAGE CITY ADMINISTRATORS.

I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY A FEW WORDS TONIGHT, BUT I'D ALSO, ON BEHALF OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE PARTNERSHIP YOU'VE CONSISTENTLY HAD WITH OUR DISTRICT.

WHETHER IT BE KEEPING OUR STUDENTS SAFE OR SHARING A FACILITY, YOUR EFFORTS CERTAINLY ARE APPRECIATED.

SO TONIGHT I JUST WANT TO COVER JUST A FEW THINGS REGARDING ISSUE SIX.

WE HAVE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL IN OUR DISTRICT AND CONTINUE TO IMPROVE FACILITIES.

TWO OF OUR OLDEST FACILITIES, GROVE CITY HIGH SCHOOL AND WESTLAND HIGH SCHOOL, HAVE BEEN ASSESSED USING THE STATE FORMULA.

IN ORDER TO BRING THOSE FACILITIES UP TO STANDARD, IT WOULD COST OVER 80% OF THE COST TO REBUILD.

SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE HAVE SOME MAINTENANCE ON THE SYSTEMS AFFILIATED WITH THOSE BUILDINGS.

THAT'S GOING TO BE QUITE COSTLY.

AND IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT THE BEST WAY TO FIX THOSE PROBLEMS IS TO REPLACE THE BUILDINGS.

SO ISSUE SIX WOULD DO THAT AS WELL AS MAKE TARGETED IMPROVEMENTS AT CENTRAL CROSSING AND FRANKLIN HEIGHTS HIGH SCHOOL AND KIND OF BRING THOSE SCHOOLS UP TO THE SAME STANDARD.

AND IT WOULD DO THAT BASED ON THE FACT THAT WE HAVE SOME EXPIRING DEBT WITHOUT RAISING TAXES.

THAT IS A VERY KEY POINT.

WE WOULD BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THOSE PROJECTS, BUILD THOSE TWO NEW SCHOOLS, IMPROVE THE TWO EXISTING HIGH SCHOOLS WITHOUT RAISING TAXES.

AND THEN THE THIRD PIECE, BECAUSE WE'RE PARTNERING WITH THE OFCC, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS $113 MILLION FROM THAT PROGRAM THROUGH THE STATE.

THAT MONEY IS ONLY AVAILABLE BECAUSE OTHER DISTRICTS IN OUR AREA HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL.

IT HAS FALLEN TO US IN LINE, AND THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO ACCESS THAT.

AND WITHOUT THAT 113 MILLION FOR THEIR 50% OF ELIGIBLE EXPENSES, I'M NOT SURE THAT WE COULD DO THIS PROJECT.

SO I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY SUPPORT.

UM, AND AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP.

PROPERTY, PROPERTY VALUES.

ANY QUESTIONS? YES, SUPERINTENDENT BANKS? NO, I THINK WE MAY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

UM, THE, THE QUESTION IN THE COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW IS NO NEW TAXES AND PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS, HOW THAT'S CALCULATED, WHY, YOU KNOW, HOW IS THERE NO NEW TAXES? CAN YOU JUMP INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT AND EXPLAIN HOW THAT CALCULATES? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

IN 1998, THE DISTRICT PASSED A BOND ISSUE THAT BUILT CENTRAL CROSSING HIGH SCHOOL AND A VARIETY OF OTHER BUILDINGS.

OUR INTERMEDIATE SCHOOLS, THAT DEBT WAS ISSUED AND IT'S ABOUT TO BE PAID OFF.

SO IF ISSUE SIX FAILS, TAXPAYERS IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT COULD SEE A SMALL DECREASE IN THEIR TAXES.

HOWEVER, IF IT PASSES, WE WOULD ISSUE THE SAME AMOUNT OF DEBT SO THAT TAXES REMAIN THE SAME, AND WE WOULD CONTINUE TO COLLECT TO PAY FOR THIS PROJECT.

SO THE QUESTION IS ON THE, THE, THE VALUE OF HOMES, THE ASSESSED VALUE.

AND A LOT OF RECENTLY, FRANKLIN COUNTY HAS REASSESSED VALUE.

IS THAT ON THE CURRENT VALUE? WHEN VALUES ARE ASSESSED, THE AMOUNT WE COLLECT STAYS THE SAME.

SO IT'S READJUST, IT'S READJUSTED.

SO THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE.

UM, NOW THERE COULD BE PEOPLE'S TAXES WHO GO UP.

THAT MEANS OTHER PEOPLE WITHIN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT GO DOWN BECAUSE OUR COLLECTION REMAINS THE SAME.

I JUST THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT, IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT, I APPRECIATE YOU ASKING THAT.

ABSOLUTELY.

ANY OTHERS? I JUST HAVE A STATEMENT.

I'M A PARENT OF SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN IN OUR DISTRICT.

UM, SO I DEFINITELY VALUE THIS AND, AND RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF IT.

AND I JUST HAVE A STATEMENT AS A GRADUATE OF GROVE CITY HIGH SCHOOL, 1976, BUILD THAT I WANT MY NEW HIGH SCHOOL .

I GO THERE OCCASIONALLY FOR, UH, SHOW CHOIR AND THE AUDITORIUM, AND THEN I'VE ALSO GO TO SCHOOLS ALL OVER THE STATE AND IT'S, UH, WOEFULLY BEHIND.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

WHILE I HAVE NO, UH, NO KIDS GOING TO ANY OF THE GROVE CITY SCHOOLS, NOR HAVE I ATTENDED THERE, I, UH, BELIEVE IN, UH, THE, UH, FACILITIES TO BE UPDATED.

UM, I PRIZE EDUCATION AND, UH, I THINK THAT, UH, EVERYONE ON THE BOARD HERE PROBABLY, I'M SURE, SUPPORT THIS.

AND, UH, IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO PERSONALLY TO HELP PASS THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE,

[00:35:01]

I'D BE HAPPY TO DO IT.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT IF I COULD.

WHO, WHOSE COMMITTEE IS IT UNDER GO.

MAY I MAKE A COMMENT? PLEASE, PLEASE.

SO, UH, I I YOUR, YOUR STATEMENT ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY, UH, I MEAN, AND I WOULDN'T WANT TO CRITICIZE OTHER DISTRICTS, BUT I THINK WITH MY INTERACTION WITH THE MAYORS ALL AROUND CENTRAL OHIO, WE PROBABLY HAVE ONE OF THE BEST RELATIONSHIPS OF ANY OF THEM DEALING WITH SCHOOLS.

INCREDIBLE.

AND WE ARE SO APPRECIATIVE OF ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO TOGETHER, AND IT'S BEEN ABLE TO LEVERAGE PUBLIC DOLLARS TO THE BEST OF THE, UH, COMMUNITY.

SO, UH, ANOTHER BIG THANK YOU.

ABSOLUTELY.

AND MR. YEAH, JUST A FINAL COMMENT.

FIRST, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT AND SPEAKING TO US.

UH, I JUST WANTED TO SAY, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF MISINFORMATION OUT THERE, RIGHT? PEOPLE HERE, UH, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER BOND ON THE BALLOT, UH, WE THINK TAXES ARE GONNA INCREASE, OBVIOUSLY, THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT TONIGHT.

UM, BUT I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO REACH OUT AND TO ASK QUESTIONS AND TO WATCH THIS SEGMENT OF THE MEETING TONIGHT, UH, TO GET THAT CLARIFICATION.

NOW, I KNOW WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA PASS THIS TONIGHT, BUT I WANT TO ISSUE A CHALLENGE TO COUNSEL AND THE ADMINISTRATION, UM, TO WORK WITH THE ORGANIZERS TO NOT JUST SAY OUR SUPPORT HERE TONIGHT, BUT TO GET OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY, KNOCK DOORS AND TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT THIS IS GOING TO DO FOR OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

UM, AND I'M READY TO KNOCK DOORS.

KIM, I SAW YOUR EMAIL.

I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT GETTING BACK TO YOU, BUT I'M, I'M READY.

SEE ONE THING.

YEAH, PLEASE.

I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD A TAX INCREASE FROM YOU GUYS IN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT, 20 YEARS.

THE LAST TIME WE ASKED FOR OPERATING DOLLARS WAS 2019.

YEAH, I THOUGHT IT WAS BEEN LONGER THAN 2009.

I'M SORRY, I MISSPOKE.

2009.

I WAS GONNA SAY, THE LAST TIMES WE ASKED FOR BOND ISSUE MONEY WAS 2018.

AND THAT WAS SEGMENT TWO THAT BUILT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

I MEAN, THAT'S OUTSTANDING.

THAT'S A CREDIT TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

I'LL TELL YOU, THAT'S A NOT A, THE OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS CAN'T SEE THAT .

ONE ADDITIONAL POINT.

'CAUSE I, I TRIED DO A SALES JOB THE OTHER DAY ON SOMEBODY PUT THE SIGN IN OUR YARD.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS ALSO CONFUSING BECAUSE THE CITY IS BUILDING ALL THESE APARTMENTS, ALL THESE NEW HOUSES THAT THE POPULATION, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS TAKEN AN ACCELERATED, UH, MOVE.

AND THAT PART OF THIS IS TO TAKE CARE OF THAT ADDITIONAL POPULATION.

CAN YOU CLARIFY THAT? YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

SO IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STATE PROGRAM, YOU HAVE TO HAVE 10 YEAR ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS DONE FOR YOUR ENTIRE DISTRICT.

THEY HAVE COMPLETED THOSE AND WHEN THE RESULTS CAME BACK, THEY SHOW, UM, MINIMAL GROWTH OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS FOR A NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN OUR ENTIRE DISTRICT.

WE CHALLENGE THOSE NUMBERS BASED ON THE FACT THAT WE SEE NEW HOUSING GOING IN, BOTH IN THE GROVE CITY AREA AND ON THE WEST SIDE.

AND THEY RE-LOOKED AT THOSE NUMBERS AND CAME BACK AND THEY FEEL CONFIDENT IN THEIR NUMBERS.

UM, BIRTH RATES ARE DOWN.

UM, PEOPLE ARE NOT MOVING OUT OF THEIR HOMES AFTER THEIR STUDENTS AGE OUT FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS.

UM, SO THEY DON'T PREDICT HUGE GROWTH IN STUDENTS.

HOWEVER, THERE COULD BE A POPULATION INCREASE IN OUR AREA, WHICH I CERTAINLY THINK WE EXPECT.

UM, THE BUILDINGS THAT WE ARE GOING TO BUILD AT WESTLAND AND GROVE CITY WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER THAN WHAT'S THERE NOW.

IT WILL BE BUILT FOR THOSE PROJECTIONS.

IF YOU'VE BEEN IN CENTRAL CROSSING HIGH SCHOOL, BOTH FACILITIES WILL BE LARGER THAN CENTRAL CROSSING HIGH SCHOOL.

SO SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER ON THE SAME SITE.

BUT THE POPULATION IS NOT EXPLODING, NOT IT COMES TO STUDENTS.

UM, CORRECT.

ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

DIVERSITY GRADUATE MYSELF.

I APPRECIATE IT.

CAN I, I, I'D LIKE TO GET A BRICK FROM THE BUILDING WHEN WE PULL IT DOWN.

ALL RIGHT.

I, PLENTY OF THEM.

ALRIGHT.

UM, THIS HAS HAD ITS, UH, SECOND READING AND GOT ANOTHER PERSON.

OH, I'M SORRY.

THERE WAS ONE OTHER PERSON.

YES, I'M SORRY.

UH, KIM.

NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE.

HI EVERYONE.

KIM WININGER CHAPMAN 37 54 WILLIAMS SNUCK, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL ADMINISTRATION.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US MRS. BUROUGHS.

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS RESOLUTION ON THE AGENDA.

IT IS SO IMPORTANT.

I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE CAMPAIGN.

MR. BANKS IS NOT REALLY ALLOWED TO ADVOCATE FOR THE CAMPAIGN, SO THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

IT IS MUCH NEEDED.

UM, THESE FUNDS, IF WE DON'T, THIS 113 MILLION THAT WE'RE GETTING FROM THE STATE IS SO IMPORTANT THERE.

IF WE DON'T GET THIS PASSED NOW, WE DO REALLY RISK LOSING THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THIS FUNDING.

THESE SCHOOLS NEED REPLACED.

MY DAD WAS A GRADUATE FROM GROVE CITY HIGH SCHOOL IN 1974.

MY KIDS GRADUATED THERE.

THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO GO TO SCHOOL THIS WINTER, LAST WINTER BECAUSE OF THE FLOOD IN THE ERC.

IT'S DESPERATELY NEEDED.

SO I JUST WANTED EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT THIS IS ONLY ABLE, YOU CAN ONLY USE THIS MONEY TOWARD CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.

[00:40:02]

AND I'M INUNDATED WITH THIS AND EVERY DAY I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS.

BUT AS I'M OUT IN THE PUBLIC, I'M REALIZING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT, WHICH TELLS ME HOW IMPORTANT THE EDUCATION PART OF IT IS, THAT IT WON'T RAISE TAXES.

SO I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

ANYTHING YOU CAN DO, THERE'S A QR CODE.

TAMMY, MS. KELLY, IF YOU WANT TO, UM, SCAN THAT, YOU CAN VOLUNTEER, YOU CAN HELP, YOU CAN DONATE.

SO WE HAVE A FEW WEEKS LEFT TILL VOTING.

SO WE DO REALLY APPRECIATE YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WHERE DO PEOPLE GET SIGNS? OH, ON THE WEB, ON THE QR CODE.

QR CODE AS WELL.

YOU CAN GET SIGNS THERE.

YEAH, SO YOU CAN DONATE VOLUNTEER CANVAS.

SO WE WILL TAKE ALL HANDS ON DECK.

I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE ALL KINDA LINK ARMS HERE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

OKAY? SO THANK YOU.
