Hi. Uh my name is Mary Dennis. My address is 161 Everly Avenue, Bowling Green. And I'm here representing the Bowling Green Arts Council. I wanted to let you know of some of the amazing things that our arts council is doing in Bowling Green to increase artist opportunities and to promote the arts in Bowling Green. Um in 2024, some of you may know that we established a gallery space in the back room of Coyote Beads um shop on South Main Street um to have a physical space to to provide art shows to the community. And it's also available for individual artist exhibitions for uh Bowling Green Arts Council members and also group gatherings. And we have several groups that meet there on a regular basis, including a local writer workshop that meets uh weekly and um the plucked string orchestra that meets uh for their rehearsals there. And we have a game production group that's just starting to meet there as well. Um, we also host a monthly artist meetup on the evenings of the third Thursday of each month. And um, also I just want to give you a little recap of what um, 2025, some of the activities that we did in 2025. Um, we had several uh events, shows um uh programs that we have been doing for many years that that we repeated, including ArtW Walk, which has been a staple in the downtown Bowling Green community for I think 25 years or more. Um, Art in the Park, which is held at Simpson Garden Park every uh usually the first week or two of June. And that's been happening for about the last 10 years, I think. And then we have um another show that we call better than ever, which is our uh 50 and over show for artists uh in the community who are uh 50 and over. Um and that actually we are we did that last year and we're doing it again this year. And it's just about to go up and we'll have an opening

reception for this year's show on February 3rd at the Bowling Green Senior Center. And that reception is from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. on the 3. Um, we also did a photography show called Perspectives, Photographers of Northwest Ohio, and we held our community art show, which we've been doing for the last uh two or three years, I think. Um, we also established several new opportunities for local artists, including um uh a a show called The Fabric of Our Community, which is a textile fiber show for fiber artists. and we did an abstract show called abstract artistry which we will probably continue both of those as well in the future. Um we worked with several local groups and organizations to host their events as well including the second annual transcendence art show and the Bowling Green City Schools youth art show which began in at the end of December and is just now coming down. Um, and we will be holding the third annual transcendent show this wi this year as well. And in the fall of 2025, uh, our board worked with a class at BGSU, um, with Professor Shannon our who, uh, this class helped us to develop, uh, through a strategic planning process to develop a outline for strategic plan for the next couple years. So, we were very excited about that. And last Tuesday evening at our annual meeting, we added eight new members to our board of directors, which brought our board up to a really robust number, and we're very excited about that. I have two of those members with me tonight, Jax Foster and Sam Newman, two new new board members. Um, and um, we're looking for always looking for new ways to enhance art opportunities in the community. We saw the departure of our previous president Robin JRO from our

board. She was our president for three years and uh Dave St. Holtz who had been our treasurer for eight years. So both of them were uh we will miss them. They did they brought lots of good things to the arts council over their time. Uh we elected new officers. Myself is the pre the president. Lauren Ve is our vice president. Jax Foster who is our secretary. We have an opening for a treasure if anybody's interested. Um, we always welcome community input as we continue with our overall mission to encourage cultural enrichment through the arts in the greater Bowling Green community. We work with individual artists, organizations, businesses, and other groups to provide, support, and promote arts activities. We have lots of exciting plans for the year ahead, and we will continue our annual shows and be adding new shows and events throughout the years. throughout the year. All events and shows are listed on our website um which is uh bgartsconsil.org I believe and um uh you can also reach us through social media uh and email messaging at bowling greenartsilgmail.com and we've uh got these little postcards that I gave each one of you tonight and there's a stack in the back as well for visitors. Um, this gives a uh just not comprehensive, but most of the shows that we've got coming up between now and early June. So, thank you very much for listening.

Thank you,

Jim. Excuse me, Jim Evans. Jim Evans, 203 Buttonwood Avenue. Uh, good evening. Um, last November, I thanked city council for making a priority of addressing the vulnerability of Bowling Greens drinking water supply. I also updated council with the latest information about the impact of the 2025 extreme drought on the Mami River. It's now official, by the way, that August was the driest month of record in the history of Northwest Ohio. And the extreme drought of 2025 has continued into 2026, which is unprecedented. And the first diagram I handed you is a drought map for January. An article was published in the BG Independent News that included excerpts of my report to council back in November and also the response of a senior city official who was dismissive of my concerns and provided the media with numerous misconceptions about hydrarology. I don't want council to be influenced by these misconceptions, so I'd like to address them tonight. The first misconception is about the depth of water in the Mami River. The Mamamei River is a bedrock stream. The water flows over a relatively flat surface of solid rock as a sheet of water of almost uniform water depth. Unlike other kinds of streams, there are there is no deep water channel in the Mamame River. Instead, one of the features you see is in places the bedrock steps down from one layer to a lower layer, makes like a ledge, and

produces rapids that extend across the stream. That's a characteristic of bedload streams. And in other places, there are weaknesses in the bedrock that produced potholes at the end of the ice ages, and those have filled in as pools of water. From the bottom to the to the rim of these pools, it can be as much as three or four feet. The intake for Bowling Green's water treatment plant is located in one such pool, which is the logical place to put it. But these pools are not linked together upstream and downstream. Once again, there is no deep water channel to function as a source of Bowling Green's water supply. Water needs to continuously enter and exit this pool. Which means the critical thing to talk about is not the depth of water in the pool, as a senior city official insists, but the depth of water flowing over the rim of the pool. As I presented last time, last year from August through November, the Mommy River was approximately one foot deep at the gauging station. The attached hydroraph is a textbook example of a river responding to an extreme drought. And what you see here is it looks like a playground slide. That's because the groundwater table is falling. Places where it pops up and down is the very shortterm effect of a rainstorm. And these rainstorms, although they may catch a lot of your attention locally, only affect the Moami River for a day or two. And then it goes right back to this drop-down slide. Upstream of the Bowling Green Water Treatment Plant, where the river is upstream at the Bowling Green Water Treatment Plant, where the river is wider than at the gauging station and therefore shallower. The water was only seven or eight inches deep. So the water flowing over the rim of the pool containing our drinking water supply was seven or eight inches. And that was the difference between life as normal in

Bowling Green and a water crisis. Hydraologists consider the Mommy River to be a flashy river because the depth changes quickly as much as several feet in a few days. And the water depth varies from the extremes of being entirely dry at certain times in the past, including 3 to six monthlong intervals during the 1930s drought. So think floor of this room to 19 ft deep during the historic flood of 1913. So think pretty close to the ceiling of this room. That's the hydraologic nature of the river that we depend on for a water supply. It's highly v variable. It changes quickly and it's prone to extremes. Do we even have a reasonable reaction time to warn us in the event of an unfolding water emergency? Do we have options about how to respond? What precautions should we be taking now? These are the questions that members of the public are asking and they want honest answers in response. Yes, it's true that the water treatment plant has a 170 milliongal offstream reservoir and we're constructing a second reservoir with an additional capacity of 120 million gallons. But before anyone starts calculating how many days extra time these reservoirs would provide us in a water crisis, there are some hard facts about reservoirs that everybody in this room needs to know. Water supply reservoirs naturally lose water from both evaporation off the top of the reservoir and from infiltration into the ground at the bottom or the sides of the reservoir. That's not noticeable during normal operating conditions because new river water is constantly being pumped into the reservoir, masking this loss. But in a water crisis where there's no new water to add, this loss would be considerable. The national average for water supply reservoirs is they lose 40% of their water each year due to evaporation. That's an average. In a severe summer

drought, the number would be higher. Infiltration out of the bottom of the reservoir ranges from 0% to 20% per year, depending on how the reservoir is constructed. Everyone here needs to understand that in a true water emergency, as much as half of that reservoir water might be lost before it could be used by the public. This community needs a backup water supply. One possible water source is Lake Erie water. The senior city official said that's too expensive because we would need to quote build a pipeline 40 to 50 miles long to access Lake Eerie water. That is not correct. 40 to 50 miles would get you to the international boundary in the middle of Lake Erie. Three communities north of us, Parisburg, Rosford, and Oregon, access Lake Erie water. The northwestern water and sewer district has pipelines going south from each of these three communities to distribute residential water throughout the northern third of Wood County. And I've attached a map showing you that. A connecting pipeline from Bowling Green would need to be 10 miles long at the most and could be appreciably shorter if existing water pipelines and distribution lines could be repurposed. A second alternative water s resource is groundwater. Peberville, Elmore, Woodville, and you can add Bradner all have municipal wellfields. The groundwater hydrarology of this area has been studied extensively. Within the city jurisdictional limits of Bowling Green, a well would have to be 100 ft deep to reach the aquafer and it would produce 100 gallons per minute. A well field of 20 such wells would produce 3 million gallons per day, which is approximately half of our daily use. That would prevent a water crisis from

being a public health crisis. The senior city official said, "Our groundwater can't be used because it contains many solids, which means sand and silt." That's not correct. Water wells are screened at the well point to prevent sediment from entering the well. That's because otherwise they would damage the pump motor. The senior city official also said we'd have to quote build an entirely new water treatment plant unquote for using groundwater. That's not correct either. Each of these neighboring communities produce annual water quality reports that anybody in this room can access online. Our groundwater comes from a limestone aquifer. So, it's hard water, meaning it contains excessive calcium. It's treated by ion exchange, which is a fancy way of saying you need to run it through a water softener cartridge, which exchanges sodium for calcium. The groundwater often contains sulfur also, which is harmless but smells bad. So people remove the smell using activated carbon filter cartridges. These are very minor water treatments as many people living outside Bowling Green and depending on wellwater already know. In fact, the reason why Bowling Green has such a complex water treatment plan on the Mami River is because the Mami River requires removing agricultural chemicals from drinking water and that's much more expensive and difficult to do. I want to make it perfectly clear that a professional hydraologist is telling you that if we continue to do nothing, it is not a matter of if we have a water crisis, but when we have a water crisis and given the fact we've had back-to-back 2024 2025 extreme droughts which are extending right to the present moment, I would say when is approaching quickly. I encourage the city of Bowling Green to pri prioritize the development of a backup water supply before it becomes a crisis that severely impacts

the health, welfare, and economy of this community. As always, I'm happy to help you in any way that I can't. Thank you. Thank you. That's everyone for this evening. Okay, that brings us to the introduction of new legislation. Mr. President, Miss Dennis,

I have two uh um one of my uh new legislations documents. Um one is ordinance authorizing the utilities director to sell vehicles and equipment no longer needed for municipal purposes. And the second is ordinance authorizing the utilities director to advertise for bids and enter into contracts for the lease of certain municipal property for agricultural purposes. Okay, Mr. President, Miss Elliot,

I have three ordinances from the planning, zoning, and economic development committee. Ordinance amending and adopting changes to sections 38.02 and 70.41 for one of the codified ordinances of the city of Bowling Green, Ohio, regarding classification of civil offenses and storage of recreational vehicles at residences. Ordinance amending the zoning district map of the city of Bowling Green for approximately 4.979 acres on West Newton Road, parcel number B08-501-1400000010006 from IE Innovation and Employment to I institutional zoning. An ordinance amending the zoning district map of the city of Bowling Green for approximately 5.8 8 acres at 1168 North Main Street. Parcel numbers B 07-511-1800000000800 02 and B 07-511-180000008003 from C commercial to IE innovation and employment zoning.

Okay, excellent job on that, Mr. President Mr. Dennis

from the Transportation and Safety Committee. I have two ordinances. Uh the first an ordinance authorizing the municipal administrator and the utilities director to sign an LPA agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation ODOT and to request qualifications and advertise for bids and enter into contracts for design, engineering, rightaway acquisition, construction, and other services related to the Conat sidewalks project and declaring an emergency. Second ordinance authorizing the municipal administrator and the utilities director to sign an LPA agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation, ODOT, and to request qualifications and advertise for bids and enter into contracts for design, engineering, rightaway acquisition, construction, and other services relating to the Winter Garden sidewalk project, and declaring an emergency. Thank you. Okay, that brings us to official reports. Mr. Mayor,

thank you, Mr. President, and good evening, council. I have no report subject to any questions that you may have. Does anyone have any questions for the mayor this evening? Okay. Municipal Administrator, Miss Treader.

Good evening. I'm going to have Mick Murray give an update to council, but I have two quick items prior to turning the microphone over to Mick. Uh just a reminder that property owners are responsible for their sidewalk clearing and the next few days look to be a little not as cold as today and yesterday. So, we do ask people to get out and get those sidewalks cleared while we have a few uh more moderate days here. Um, and the other one is more in the quality of life category. We want to remind you that our parks and recreation department has a brown bag music series which is a partnership between parks and recreation and the college of musical arts at BGSU and it returns this Friday. Um, information is available on our website and on the e-news. Uh but again, if you uh are available on Friday afternoons, bring your lunch out and enjoy some musical entertainment. And with that, um I will take questions now or after mix uh update.

Does anyone have any questions from Lori right now? Okay.

Good evening, council. I have some updates for you this evening. uh from the public works department. Uh 2025 we promoted Dan Ziggler to public works superintendent and Morgan Rhodess to the assistant superintendent. Uh in 2026 we'll also be hiring a supervisor to oversee refu and recycling as well as grounds and we'll also be hiring an urban forestry supervisor. We made several excellent hires and are intentionally advancing the department beyond outdated practices toward a culture rooted in integrity, initiative, and excellence. Our goal is to lead by example through this new culture. Um, as Manda mentioned a few weeks ago, uh, we finalized and launched our winter weather dashboard, um, called snow sk um, which is now publicly available and provides increased transparency during winter weather events. Uh, this dashboard has been extremely beneficial to our public works department. Uh, it allows us to see where our crews have been, how long it's been since we've serviced a street and track tracking salt usage more accurately. This year, we'll be installing iPad mounts in all of our snowplow trucks, allowing operators to track each winter event in real time. Uh public works will also use this tool to notify the police department during snow emergencies of streets where parked vehicles must be removed for operations as well as coordinating with civil enforcement on sidewalk clearing in 2025. Um public works repaired asphalt and concrete impacted by utility work uh for a total of 775 linear feet of curb. uh 48 individual asphalt repairs and 44 sidewalk repairs.

Uh we also completed some uh repairs for our own infrastructure. Uh we replaced 812 linear feet of sidewalk, mostly damaged by street trees and replaced 546 linear feet of curb. We replaced 88 88 ramps and added eight new ones. Uh crews also removed excess builtup dirt and debris along approximately 8/10en of a mile of roadway so so that the shoulder sits at the proper height. This improves drainage and prevents pavement damage. We also perform concrete work in multiple downtown alleys in preparation for the new archways. Some upcoming projects for 26. Uh we have a sidewalk infill on Leroy Street between North Summit and Enterprise. Uh we were uh we planned to do that in 25 but ran out of time. Uh we have a sidewalk replacement on South Summit Street between Worster and Kluff. Uh that was damaged by our um street trees as well. We also have a mandatory 5050 sidewalk program we're going to start this year um using our sidewalk condition index which evaluates sidewalks based on the severity of deficiencies and the proximity to schools in the downtown. We identified the most critical locations and identified 13 properties uh selected for replacement uh pending budget approval. This will become an annual program for waste management. Uh we've this year we managed 5,92 weekly refuge and recycling stops and completed 843 large item collection. Um and as I mentioned in July last year the city entered into a contract with Rumkey to process recyclable materials.

While adjustments were required due to the longer hall to Clyde, uh the transition has gone very well and we are pleased with Rumkey service. In September, we also entered into contract with Routeware following a successful pilot program. This software has significantly improved workflows and allows us to track service exceptions such as block carts, contamination, and miss pickups. It will assist with future policy updates, route optimization, and the determination of the true cost of service. We're optimistic that this will result in time and cost savings. Uh at the cemetery in 2025, we completed the final round of ground penetrating radar or GPS at Oakrove. Uh this three-year project was completed in phases as budget allowed. Once scanned, data was imported into our GIS system, followed by extensive field verification and GI GPS documentation of plot corners by the public works staff. GIS staff then realign the grid to optimize future berry plots. As a result of this work, we are optimistic that a significant number of additional berry plots can I be can be identified and added for facilities projects. In July, we um promoted Andy Surgeent to facilities project manager, and he's been instrumental in developing citywide maintenance programs. Andy has been meeting with all departments to establish a preventative maintenance schedule for their facilities and will work with GIS staff this year to create a comprehensive facilities database at the community center. Um, this year we have a liquid applied roof treatment project scheduled for spring. We also budgeted for HVAC repairs and replacement based on a 2023 HVAC audit.

At the municipal court, we have new carpet um scheduled to be installed in some of the areas that weren't completed last year. We have some LED lighting upgrades and an exterior maintenance project on the two remaining elevations. Um in previous years we replaced we repaired the uh the east and the west elevation. This includes cleaning, damp proofing, ceiling, tuck pointing, power washing, and some gutter repair. We've also budgeted for an HVAC audit at the municipal court. The public works facility will receive a new roof this year over the office area and internal staff will perform some office and locker room updates. At the cemetery, we're in the process of replacing aging water lines throughout. We budgeted for a fence painting project along Ridge Street and we have engaged with the edge group to develop an updated and cohesive landscape plan for urban forestry. Um, our urban forester Adrienne Loing Kurrion and her staff had a busy 2025. They planted 228 street trees, removed 78 trees. 50 and 59 of those were poor condition, seven were storm damage, and 12 were infrastructure conflicts. They also pruned over 500 street trees and responded to more than 800 tree related concerns. Adrienne's tree canopy project funded by a $415,000 federal grant continued in 2025. Thus far, she's assisted 74 residential properties by pruning 132 trees, removing 61 hazard trees and 64 invasive trees. The project will continue into 26, 27, and wrap up in 28.

Uh Adrienne also hosted the tree uh with the help of the tree commission, the um um Tree City USA event at the Veterans Building where we received our 45th Tree City USA award and our 31st growth award. As far as infrastructure projects in 2025, we completed the south main repaving from Ordway to the Corp limit, including the shared use path between Gypsy Lane and Napoleon, as well as curb replacement between Napoleon and Gypsy. Um, we installed a pedestrian hybrid beacon at south at the intersection of I'm sorry. Uh the pedestrian hybrid beacons that were part of the uh south main project will be installed in the spring along with 85 street trees. We did install a pedestrian hybrid beacon at the intersection of West Worster and Maple and completed the main street corridor bike and pedestrian study. This year we plan to uh install the shared use path um along Brim Road from Krogan's Crossing to the Bowling Green High School. We have a sidewalk infill project on South Winter Garden extending from Wintergard Park to North Street as well as Kanyot from Winter Garden to Cedar Lane. We have a pedestrian hybrid beacon being installed on Gypsy Lane at the Slippery Elm Trail. And we have a residential paving project that includes Buttonwood from Worooster to Sand Ridge, South Grove from Worooster to Sand Ridge, Ordway from Maple to Maine, Adam Street from Maple to Grove, and Rudolph from between Gypsy Lane and Sand Ridge. We're also going to rejuvenate some of the recently um

uh repaired streets um including Pearl, Sand Ridge, Gypsy Lane, Lafayette, Mitchell, and Woodgate Drive. The rejuvenation uh extends the the life of our pavement. Um, originally we were going to pave uh Carr, Ada, Georgia, and South Prospect, but due to a conflict with Colombia Gas, we are going to hold on those streets until 28. We have a couple ongoing safety studies. uh the West Wooster corridor safety study for bike and pedestrian upgrades as well as ped potential roundabouts at the intersection of Worooster and Haskins and Worster and Winter Garden. And we have some roundabout feasibility studies ongoing at the intersections of Winter Garden Road and Sand Ridge, Sand Ridge and Gypsy, Rudolph and Gypsy Lane. And um we'll also be designing the connection of Crim Street to Third Street to improve connectivity and access. Uh we have a few projects in the pipeline. In 27, we have a shared use path uh from Crim School to Mercer Road. This is phase one of that project. Phase two is currently being designed and that will extend from Mercer to Carter Park. In 2028, we have the Brimroad Roundabout and um Dund Dunbridge Road paving. Uh the Brimroad Roundabout will also include paving um on Brim Road from Poe to Bishop. In 2029, we have a roundabout project at East Worster and Dumbridge with a shared use path connection along the uh north side of East Worster

in 2030. Uh that dates tentative, but we have a north main street shared use path uh that was supported by uh SA safe safe streets for all. And I'll again conclude my report by emphasizing the incredible dedication of our public works staff who go above and beyond daily to provide exceptional service to residents and all city departments. Thank you very much for that update. Does anyone have any questions for Mick? Uh can we get a copy of that report? Sure. I'll email that to you. Thank you. Anything else?

All right. Thank you very much. Anything else from you, Miss Treader? Okay, that brings us to city attorney, Mr. Brown. Good evening, council. No report. Does anyone have any questions for Mr. Brown this evening? All right. Public infrastructure director, Mr. Okonnell. Uh, good evening. No reports have questions.

Does anyone have any questions for Brian this evening? Um, yes, Mr. President. I do. Um, city council during our strategic planning session last year made it a goal to expand our water treatment capacity and we discussed specifically an interconnection agreement that would create a redundancy for emergency situations. Is that something that the administration is looking at? Yes. Um, we had included in the budget, I think, $100,000 for engineering services to make a connection between the Northwestern Water and Sewer District's Toledo system to uh the Bowling Green system through through their pipes that would then flow back to us. So, that that is uh needs to be started up with the district. There was some engineering work done maybe a couple years ago um by the district when when Bowling Green and Parisburg were discussing a type of interconnection. Um the the interconnection point would be on route 25 just north of the city where there's a point um where the Cleto water system and the BG water system are very close together. And so they um they have a site they've already kind of picked out but we need to finalize engineering and again that was included in the budget that you approved um for 26.

Okay. Okay. Uh that that's all I've got. Anything else for Brian this evening? Okay, thank you very much. That brings us to council committee reports. Any Go ahead. Uh

I just want to let everyone know that there is a sustainability committee meeting scheduled for February 2nd uh starting at 6:15 p.m. It will be an opportunity to uh fine-tune potential strategic planning issues uh related to sustainability. Okay. Anyone have anything else? Yeah. Can I Can I bring up something? Uh, well, we already had lobby visitation, but Oh, I'm sorry. You're welcome to come up and talk to me afterwards. Okay. Yeah, sure.

Okay. Um, Jody, do we have to announce these public hearings tonight? Yes. Okay. Caitlyn will um do that after their first reading. All right. Yep. Okay. Anyone have anything else? Um Mr. President, the transportation and safety committee will be meeting in early March to appoint our representative to the sidewalk commission. I think we're still waiting to confirm that date with all the members.

So after meeting, we will have a date and time for that. Okie dokie. Anything else council committee reportwise. All right, that brings us to the reading of legislation. Jody, legislation for first reading. Ordinance 9335 for first reading.
