City Council - Regular Meeting

All right, would you please rise and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

All right, the minutes from our meeting on August 17th were distributed for your review prior to this evening. Are there any additions or corrections to the minutes? Hearing none, do I have a motion to approve? So moved. Second. Properly moved and seconded. All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed, same sign. Jody, do we have any correspondence this evening?

I have two items this evening. Distributed to council prior to tonight's meeting was a list of traffic commission items approved at the August 26th meeting. This item is noted for the record. I also have an appointment letter effective immediately from the mayor for Martha Woelke as interim finance director. This requires a council voice vote.

Do I have a motion to approve Martha as interim finance director? So moved. Sounded unanimous. Second. Thank you for the second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed, same sign. All right, thank you. This is like the Hotel California. You can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave.

And Mr. President, you mentioned at the previous meeting that was there some way that we could make sure there was a moratorium on people leaving? Come to a solution, and that is? Just keep bringing them back. Bring them back.

Okay. Well, thank you very much. All kidding aside. Jody, do we have anyone signed up for lobby visitations this evening?

We do. Faith Ilsey?

Okay, if you could just come to the podium and give us your name and address for the record, please.

Faith Elsie, 338 West Mary, here in BG. Now, I was here several months ago talking about the West Mary Fairview River, and I was requesting a boat. But instead of that, you folks did what you were supposed to do. And you got it fixed. I have not needed a boat. And so oftentimes people don't take the time to say thank you. But I'm going to say thank you to each of you. with a hug and a kiss from an old lady. Okay? Now, they're Hershey's, so you're safe. Okay. But I'm gonna do that, and then I'm sorry, I have to leave because I have to travel tomorrow. But I am so grateful that I haven't had a problem with that since, and there were people out there working. And I want you to know that the people who work on those those sewer things and so forth, that they get treats from me when they work in my neighborhood because I really do appreciate the work that they do because I wouldn't know what to do on my own. So thank you very much. And everybody gets one because I know your support team helps out too. So a hug and a kiss to everyone. Thank you.

All right. Well, thank you very much. And certainly bribing people with sweets will get work done faster. Thank you.

Thanks, Kay. And I don't know about the rest of council, but I think it's safe to say that the bulk of the credit goes to the administration for jumping on that and solving it. So I greatly appreciate it.

Yes, we were not out there pulling up grading snow. All right, do we have anyone else?

Rose Drain.

What are you doing in a couple Mondays? You should come back.

Well, if I have another problem, I'll let you know.

What'd you bring us, Rose? You can't beat that, yeah.

Well, I didn't bring you hugs and kisses. Do you want to pass them down?

I won't take one then. Just set it home.

I am Rose Drain. I live at 228 East Court Street. I am sharing with you one of the 2,200 door hanger packets that BG Song put, yeah, there's some to go to the folks over there. BG Sung put together as part of our lease and peace project to distribute renter resource information in the community. One of the pieces at the back is the city's good neighbor guide. In front of that is the Landlord-Tenant Relations Guide from BGSU Student Legal Services. Then you have a clearer path piece from BG Song, which has our housing survey on it. So if anyone amongst the council or administration or in the audience hasn't yet taken our housing survey, we're trying to gather a big swath of the community for that. The back of that piece has some information about our October 23rd meeting. This piece was developed by Lori Young, professor at BGSU in the School of Art, because she saw a need for her students to have somewhere to go when they had questions about planning to rent, about looking at a lease critically, about what to do when they had issues with their rental place, and how to find help with issues. So anyhow, that has gone out through the grace of Let's see, on the day of service when the university move-in weekend was happening, we had 18 BGSU Swimmers who put together the 2200 packets along with Joe Salas and Kathleen Dennis and then on the day of Distribution the big push was Saturday the 29th. We had 19 volunteers and a couple of us working behind the scene. Four of those people were BG Song board members. We've had five people walking the neighborhood since then on their own time, not in a group. So that means that we have had a total of 46 volunteers participating in this effort, which is a great testament to the power of volunteers. However, I am here this evening to pitch to you that we still need some folks. We did 19 routes. Seven of those remain. And we have probably about 600 door hangers to get out. So if you have time to walk six blocks, eight blocks, 10 blocks, we will give you a list of addresses and packets to cover any amount that you are able to do. We appreciate the efforts of everyone who's worked so hard to get this going and hope to get the remaining 600 out soon. That's it for this evening. Thank you. Oh, I forgot the card at the front of the packet. It says, we're glad you're here. So that's the first thing that people see. We're glad you're here. And we truly believe that. We are glad that the people who rent in our community are here, and we are happy to provide them with the information that will be helpful to them.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

That's everyone for this evening.

All right. That brings us to the introduction of new legislation.

Mr. President.

Ms. Elliot.

From the Planning, Zoning, and Economic Development Committee, I have an ordinance accepting deed from Progress Point Properties LLC and dedicating the property for right-of-way purposes and all municipal and utility purposes.

Mr. President.

Don't you have more?

I have two ordinance from the Public Utilities Committee. One authorizing the Utilities Director to execute an agreement with the Ohio Water Development Authority or the Ohio EPA Water Pollution Control Loan Fund program for the design, engineering, and construction of the Poe Mercer Pump Station Screen Replacement Project. And a second authorizing the Utilities Director to enter into an agreement with CorPro for corrosion protection services.

Okay. Mr. President. Mr. Odorizio. From the Community Improvement Committee, we have an ordinance authorizing the mayor to enter into contracts for professional design, architectural construction administration, and engineering services to advertise for bids and to enter into contracts for construction of a regional law enforcement education and training center. Additionally, We have a resolution authorizing a joint use agreement between the city of Bowling Green and Bowling Green State University to create a regional law enforcement education and training center and authorizing the mayor of the city of Bowling Green to execute said agreement.

Okay. Well, I guess I'll go next. How about that? I have a pile of things from finance ways and means. I have a resolution accepting the amounts and rates as determined by the budget commission and authorizing the necessary tax levies and certifying them to the county auditor. I have a resolution declaring the necessity and intention of appraising property owned by the Brentwood Estates Limited for the Crim Shared Use Path project and declaring an emergency. I have an ordinance providing supplemental and or amending appropriations for the current expenses and other expenditures of the City of Bowling Green, Ohio during the fiscal year beginning January 1st, 2026 and ending December 31st, 2026. I have an ordinance authorizing the municipal administrator to sell or trade vehicles and equipment no longer needed for municipal purposes. And I have an ordinance authorizing the municipal administrator to advertise for bids and enter into contract contracts for professional cleaning services for city owned.

Mr. President. Mr. Dennis. From the Transportation and Safety Committee, I have an ordinance for sidewalk repairs by special assessment and declaring an emergency.

Okay. All right, so unless someone has something stuck to the heel of their shoe, I think that's it. So...

That brings us to official reports. Mr. Mayor. Thank you, Mr. President. Good evening, Council. First of all, I want to thank you for your unanimous support for the appointment of Martha Wolke as our interim finance director. Martha has been a godsend, if I'm being honest. She has provided leadership and oversight for us as we navigate our way through hiring a replacement for our capable finance director who was left to pursue other opportunities. So Martha, thank you so much for coming back and helping us out in a pinch. We appreciate it and we're grateful that you're here. As all of you are most certainly aware, this weekend the Black Swamp Festival is being held here in Bowling Green. I should say the 33rd annual Black Swamp Festival. I know that, like others, I'm excited about this event, looking forward to attending and taking advantage of the many opportunities for seeing art, whether it's fine arts or music or great food or socializing with friends and other members of our community. I think it's a great opportunity to do all of those things. And I just want to take a minute to express my sincere appreciation for all of those volunteers who work so hard really year round to present this event each and every year. And also I want to acknowledge the efforts of our city employees who, like all of these festivals, contribute immensely to the logistics around the events, whether it's our public works people or our police and fire departments. So it truly is a community event, but certainly wouldn't be possible if it weren't for the dedication of those volunteers that work so hard each and every year. So thank you to all of them, and I hope all of you have an opportunity to get downtown this weekend and enjoy this terrific event. That concludes my report. Subject to any questions that you may have.

Does anyone have any questions for the mayor this evening? Okay. Municipal Administrator Lori Tretter is not with us this evening. However, I have been informed that Heather Saylor has wonderful information to share with us.

Good evening. You have a handout, I think, coming your way from Jody, or do you already have the handout? It's not as long as it looks, I promise. So everybody likes a good permit update. So, so far this year we've had 317 zoning permits compared to 281 at this time last year. So that means we're quite a bit up in permits. We've had 56 single housing starts compared to 41 at this time last year. So that's a lot for us that we've had probably in at least the past 10 years or so. We also of course have commercial construction, institutional construction. I didn't include every detail. I just wanted to give you a snapshot of usually what people are most interested in. Our online permit portal, permits.bgohio.gov, went live on April 13th. I'm not sure if anybody's had a chance to use that in this room, but we've had a lot of positive feedback. We also have a public kiosk in our office to help all users, so we recognize that not everybody has a computer, email, et cetera, so we've really tried to help everybody as best we can. We also are always making changes, so we are going to be adding a SketchUp tool soon, Draw what your fence is going on an aerial view of your property if you don't have any other sketches So again, we're just trying to be as user friendly as we can it's also very exciting that we now accept credit cards during that online portal process and Again, we'll continue to welcome any feedback and changes and make those as we can So I give you a kind of a quick summary of what happens when you click on a planning icon so you can either choose public works or planning and when you choose planning you're able to apply for any zoning permit application any zoning Board of Appeals application a subdivision and certificate of appropriateness and then there's another option I don't know if mix already talked about this but you could click on the public works icon and you can apply for a demolition permit excavating in the right-of-way permit and get your actor licensing on the online portal So the first thing you would do is set up your own account. If you don't already have one, it's very easy. And then once you do that, you'll see your icons for public works or planning. And again, you can click on what's applicable. You can even pull up your own account and you'll see if you owe any money on any of the permits we invoice you. And it's pretty cool that you can just click right there and also see your permits that have been approved. The most common permit that option we have here is the zoning permit application. We put that as the number one icon, so knowing people would probably mostly apply for that. So you click on that, and then next you get a pretty map of the entire city, and you can click on your parcel that has your address, or you can type in your own address. So again, from there it takes you through all the steps. that you need depending on what type of zoning permit that you would like to apply for. We also are really proud that we took a lot of time on this system to provide information. So let's, for example, you're building a shed. So it asks you, you know, are you building a shed that's attached or detached? And then you can click on where that section of the zoning code is and read about what the regulations are. We also try to maximize what you're able to put in. So for example, if your shed is 20 feet tall, it won't let you put in 20 feet tall because that exceeds the limitations of our zoning code. So again, we try to really be user friendly and helpful and guide people to the right path for where the ordinances are and also provide you with your restrictions right at your fingertips so you can do it right from your home or office, whatever is convenient. So again, just wanted to give you some snapshots of what that system looks like, and again, happy to hear any feedback on what you've heard from your constituents. And again, we think it's a really great feature that we now have. Another thing new this year that we have introduced through our course year budget that you approved, the Downtown Facade Enhancement Grant. That's been very popular so far. We've had a lot of great feedback from our downtown business owners. We actually put out the press release on April 3rd. We've had six projects with grant agreements. Three of those six have been completed so far. We have $2,995 left out of the $40,000 that was budgeted for this program. And the majority of the projects have involved painting, so we definitely see that there is gonna be some nice before and after pictures that we'll give to you at our annual report. And we hope to request this again for 2027, so heads up on that. Our subdivision regulations continue to be updated. We're a little behind our timeline. We have been working with OHM advisors to get some good visuals in the document, and once the whole draft is done, that will go to the steering committee, and then, of course, for their feedback, and then, ultimately, Planning Commission, then, of course, City Council for your adoption. So we appreciate your patience on that important project. Also, I'm not sure if you're aware, we do have the Wood County Health Department that does a five-year exterior housing evaluation survey. So the first one was done in 1988, but we've done nine surveys since then, the last one being in 2021. So once we get those results, we'll actually ask the Health Department to come here for one of your meetings. Normally it's been a Committee of the Whole meeting to present those findings, and we'll be excited to see the improvements that have been made, being proactive with housing and improvements. We also have a new zoning code enforcement officer that started in early June. His name is Mike Klingenpiel, and some of you may recognize his name. But he's done a lot of great things so far. He's already sent 349 trash cans in the wrong location letters, and we had to buy more envelopes because he's been so active. But he does a lot of things that people don't see, and so we think it's important to recognize that. And again, it's an important job here. He also assists the report a concern feature. Our rental registration inspection program, we are partnering with student legal services at BGSU for continued communication and relationship with their office. It's really important. Working with the communications department on further ways to educate tenants. Bottom line is we really want people to use the report a concern feature here because if we don't know about a concern here, we can't do anything. So we're really encouraging people to report a concern if you have any. And we actually have had seven properties so far that are now required to do third party inspections. So again, we're trying to do the best we can with now having a full-time staff member. It's been really helpful. And so far we have 7,222 rentals registered as of today, and we've had close to 2,000 inspections received. So obviously there's still time until the end of the year, but I just wanted to give you a snapshot of that program. We also have introduced the short-term rental program. We sent letters to short-term rental owners on August 28th, and there were approximately 20 owners, and our zoning code enforcement officer found 34 short-term rentals with his research, and we had a lot of time dedicated to getting this process underway. It's not like you just kind of wake up one day and say, okay, here's a short-term rental program. We do have to coordinate with our GIS department and our income tax department so they can collect the necessary fees from their end. I gave you a copy of the handout that was created for the program that we also mailed with the letters along with the website link above and so far we've had three register and pay their fee and they have a deadline in about 30 days so they do have some time to get that done. So just wanted to make sure you had an update on that since you passed that legislation on May 18th. Historic Preservation Commission, they've been busy as usual. We had a busy May for celebrating National Preservation Month. We had pedal bike tours about local history, and special thanks to Jeff Howes and Dick Martin and the BG Pedal Company for doing those. And we also are ordering 10 historical plaques for properties that are on our local register, which we have a 50-50 matching program, and we were happy to get 10 because those are 10 properties that will be recognized with these plaques. We also have a plea for more Historic Building of the Month authors. I don't know if you've all read those monthly articles but a lot of time and research goes into those and we would love to see more public involvement with those articles. We've tried to get partners like the schools. We have a professor at the university that helps us with some and of course friends of the HPC but we would love to have more authors. And lastly, Not In Our Town Bowling Green, we actually had a survey completed late last year and we are putting together a list of community conversation series and I gave you a copy of our press release which does give the dates of those kind of reigniting the organization and looking for public feedback on what you want to see done with Not In Our Town and what you want the focus to be and future events. So be happy if you could spread the word on that. Otherwise, that's it unless you have any questions for me.

Does anyone have any questions for Heather this evening?

How many short-term rental owners did you say had paid the registration fee?

Three so far. And the letters just went out on August 28th.

On the long-term rental regulations, you mentioned that seven properties have been required to do third-party inspections. Is that because they failed self-inspection or because we were receiving concerns that were reported through the website?

So at least one of them was a couple that just ignored every communication for the city. And so we decided if you're gonna ignore every communication, not work with us and give us feedback that you're not eligible from the program anymore. And then the rest were reported concerns that were pretty egregious and didn't work out within the 30 day time period that our ordinance allots.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Anything else? Thank you very much. That brings us to City Attorney, Mr. Brown.

Good evening, Council. I have no official report, but I know there's a lot on the agenda tonight, so if you have any questions about anything, I can certainly do my best. I'll also note that I think Amanda was hoping to say a few things. Is that true? Okay.

Oh, okay. Sorry.

Never mind then. All right, if you have any questions, I'll try my best.

Are there any questions for Mr. Brown? While we're in the vicinity, are there any questions for Amanda?

No questions for Amanda but I would like to thank Amanda and her team for getting the ward redistricting process up and running so quickly. I know that was a lot of information and you guys threw together a webpage very quickly and I think it hopefully will generate a lot of good feedback.

Okay. That brings us to Public Infrastructure Director, Mr. O'Connell.

Good evening. Just a quick update on the wind turbine decommissioning. So they are underway to start removing those four turbines that are out at the landfill. Removal will go through the end of this year for the most part. We'll take them down one by one, mobilize the crane to the site to first take the blades off and then we'll take the nasal or the big white box on the top of the turbines. top of the tower that will come down second and then the steel tower will be dropped laid down last after they get the towers down there's a 30 plus foot deep foundations concrete foundations have to be removed from the from the property so be excavating those out and getting those off off the site Again, they'll do it one at a time, and it'll be going on largely through probably late November, maybe mid-December. Plans to get it wrapped up by the end of December. The underground conduits and circuits that were there that took power from the turbines also was to be removed. That work may have already been done, but that's part of it as well. At the end of the day, the county property will be fully returned to the county. They'll backfill the foundation excavation area. They'll backfill that with proper materials that the county has required for their use. The AMP, as they've done for the life of the project, they've administered the maintenance and the ongoing operations of the wind turbines. And likewise, with the demolition and the removal, they're administering that contract. It's about a $1.7, $1.8 million contract to remove those. We, the project set funds aside over the lifespan of the project. And so we've been planning for this for a while. And so there are adequate funds in the project, project funds to pay that contract. So there won't be any increased of rates or costs directly to us at this point in time. Any remaining funds that aren't spent on the decommissioning or closeout of the project will be returned to the owners. Bowling Green is one of 10 AMP members that owns the wind turbine project. We were a 50% owner, and so whatever's left over, we'll get 50% of that money back, and then the other 50% will go to the other nine AMP members and their ownership percentages. So that's what I have for you today unless you have questions.

Does anyone have any questions for Mr. O'Connell? Okay, thank you very much. Thank you. All right, that brings us to council committee reports.

Mr. President.

um before we uh before i make a motion to adopt this we have another ordinance that was introduced earlier tonight for first reading that included a list of vehicles and equipment also to be traded and so i guess what i'm going to suggest is that we amend this ordinance 9372 to also include the list attached with ordinance 9376 and do them both at the same time. So my motion is that to take the list of equipment from ordinance 9376 and attach it to ordinance 9372. Mr. President?

Yes. Before you make that a motion, what would happen to 9376? We shouldn't trade it in twice, so perhaps what we could do is go back to 9376, suspend the rules, and vote that one as well.

Well, yeah, I was just gonna wait till the next meeting and then just table 9376 indefinitely. So, either way.

Either ordinance authorizes the municipal administrator to take the same action, so I think we would just be authorizing the same thing twice, even if we did not pull it off the table later, right? I will second Mark's motion.

Okay, well, I'll officially make that motion. to take the list of equipment from ordinance 9376 and attach it to and thereby amend ordinance 9372. And that is my motion, which I have a second from Jeff. So Jody, could you call the roll, please?

Okay, all right. Well, we'll sort that out later. Jody, take us to removal from the table.

Ms. Elliot.

Okay, properly moved and seconded. Any need for discussion? Hearing none.

Just to clarify, we did have a discussion during our committee meeting that the update to the future land use plan is because the map does not comport with the ordinance that we have passed. So we're updating the planning document to match what has already been approved.
