Council - Regular Meeting

at an energy conference and he won't be here tonight. Um so it's all on us. Um there's a I think this ordinance 85. I'm going to start there. Um this is the uh dogs and cats ordinance. The um law department is working on a a rewrite of this that everybody has. I was thinking of moving this to the end of the schedule because I figured it's the thing we would talk about the most. So, um, we'll come back to that.

Um, Mark did ask if anyone has any input on ordinance 86, which is related to the short-term rentals, that we get it to him because I believe, and correct me if I say this wrong, Mark, if we were going to go forward with this, there's some rewrites or some in research you need to Yeah, I'll kind of give a more in-depth look just to make sure the language is tell you what you guys want. Okay. Um, so I don't know if anyone wants has any questions or wants to talk about that this evening or if you just want to Well, I don't I don't know how popular this is as written. Well, I don't even know how popular it is in general. I thought we had amongst us. Now,

I uh I I read over Hudson's ordinance. Hudson has a really in-depth ordinance regarding short-term rentals. They require people to be licensed every year for it and has a big list of rules to to get a license to do it. Um, you know, they have to have fire inspection every year. They have rules about um how many people can be in uh in the rental. Um how many vehicles can be in the rental? You have to have someone that lives within 10 minutes or 10 miles uh as a contact. So, you know, you can't go out of town or they you have to provide a contact that's that's close and be available 247 when you do have a rental. You have to tell the city um what platforms you are advertising on and where else you're advertising. Um you could lose your license. Three three strikes and you're out. Anyway, this is a a possibility if we didn't want to go with um

just a ban with a total ban. Yeah. Um I'm I'm not for a ban whatsoever. We you know these services have been around for 15 to 20 years and we have we've had like what one complaint you were talking about the other issue one time. One time. So you know and if you look on the sites there's two properties in Macedonia people that are doing it. So, so I don't I don't know that this is a problem that needs to be solved. Now, I understand um the concern um was based on what happened in Bath,

but I think also in a place like Bath um they have bigger properties where people are thinking they're renting something that's kind of out out in the middle of nowhere. They have an excuse, you know, they're under the cover that they're able to go out there and get a big house and party. I don't know that that's something that happens in Macedonia, especially deeper in the neighborhood. So, do we want to just continue with this as it is, vote on it how we feel, be done with the idea of short-term rentals, or do we want to look into changing the language and go with permitting? Permitting is going to be work for the building department and the fire department to do more inspections and then that and I just don't think that that there's that many properties. Yeah. So, should should we just continue to to vote on go for a vote on this and not

vote for it? I would say so, too. Really passionate about it. Yeah, I'm I'm not passionate about it. So, you're thinking you guys are leaning towards call the question or read Well, we'd have to do three reads because I don't think we've read it once, have we? Have we read it once? We read it once. We read it once. Oh, I'm looking at the one below it. We've read it once. So we could do two and three and have a vote on it today and and potentially potentially dispose of it tonight. Yeah. Because I mean I don't I don't have any strong heart to pass it. I don't I don't think it's going to pass. So So if we if we're not interested in rewriting and having you know this is one of my thoughts it's like a seven page ordinance that Hudson has but Hudson has so much different housing stock and property.

Yeah. I mean you can make it as simple or complex as you want. There's a lot of options out there. You guys just have to go into discussing the outright prohibition. So, right, one of my thoughts was regardless of what we do, enforcing it is going to be a challenge, right? You're not going to know that someone's not complying or that someone's running their house out unless you're actively going on all of the different sites and looking for them or until there's a problem in case they're already breaking the law, which Right. Right. And I think this might have been a conversation I was having with Mark. If you have something on the books, it's there in case there ever is an incident. so that there's something to use after the fact. Even in the case of this, you know, David, like in Hudson,

if there's a nuisance, if people are parking in a way that you're not licensed to park, if you have too many people in the house or too many uh disturbing, you know, making a nuisance, trespassing within 500 ft, that kind of stuff, you lose your license and can't can't reapply for six months. So, I'm leaning towards your idea unless council wants to talk about it. But I do have a question. Is there anything we could do that would help your department that you think we need to do?

Well, I hear everything going on and honestly my thought process would be if we only have two in town, it's not going to affect that many people if we had a prohibition on it. The one incident that we had that I would say got out of control was really out of control. that we're lucky nobody was seriously hurt or killed, right? Um if that wasn't an option, we'd have never been in that situation. Um I think one of the biggest complaints we get is about solicitors. For the longest time, we tried to ban solicitors. Well, we can't do that. So, we're going to permit that. You have to register all that. It really solves nothing. We get just as many complaints about it.

Same thing. I read Hudson's as well. Bath did theirs with some zoning things. Hudson's allowing it by permit. It really doesn't solve anything in my eyes. I get it's not a big deal. It really only two houses, but the night of that situation, the homeowner realized, "Oh man, something serious going on here." He tried to intervene and it went really bad. The crowd was so large, it was bad for us. There were weapons involved. I mean, it was an issue. Yeah. So,

would it have been an issue if they would have registered? If had had he again Mr. Gdetti and I spoke of this. Unless we go on a big campaign, how's people going to know they can't do it? But I would like to think that had he known that he couldn't do it in Macedonia, he wouldn't have. Right. And he's pulled out of that whole thing. He's not doing it anymore. Hasn't for years. But were there any laws broken that evening? Did the homeowner face consequences? No, the homeowner didn't face consequences and I believe we made a couple arrests there. Okay. um disorderly conduct, maybe uh assault. I have to look at the report. Okay.

But the homeowner technically didn't break any laws or ordinances that we had. He he wasn't living on the property at the time and they just had it listed and it's a beautiful piece of property in town, very large, very secluded and there were hundreds of people that showed up there and the houses I mean they did a lot of damage to it as well. So

yeah, there I mean there's other options in the code for the actual wrongdoers in those events, right? disorderly conduct, riot, failure to disperse, all those type of potential charges, menacing, that kind of thing. Um, this as proposed is really what you're regulating or what you're doing is creating a penalty for the homeowner that right may not as clearly exist right now. There's still nuisance options which I think the city has pursued in the past which is still you know potentially viable just not explicit like is in this ordinance.

Well I guess that raises the question. Do we want to call it tonight and vote on it or do we want to keep discussing it? I'm torn on if we need something. You know we do want to have tools for the police department to use. But so a thought if if we were gonna permitted so to speak. We put a maximum 10 people in the I something along those lines. We is is a two people per bedroom plus plus three more people but also parking to prevent it from turning into a 200 300 person party. Yeah.

And then also there's there's parking. So you can only have as many people. You have to you have to like when you register you have to register how many parking spaces you're so the only thing in my mind that would be the way to go. However, the specific incident we had he was under the impression it was a family coming down there to the property through the company that he was signed up with. And had he not just been the type of guy that was like I want to see what's going on there. He would have no idea. in the property, we would not have seen it because it's very secluded. Do we want to give

Well, there's also grounds, you know, there's also like in Hudson, grounds for denial, like a whole section on why you would deny it. You know, the city could choose to, you know, no properties over so many acres or whatever would be be denied. So, I'm not sure. Um, you know, I don't like the idea, and I know Mr. Finley is anonymous with me. doesn't we don't want to tell people what they can do with their homes and their ability to you know make money and I think you're you're in agreement on me on I I'm hesitant to tell people what they can and can't do with their property. Yeah. So we just need to think in the in the public interest you know. So the question is I guess do we hold it and let the law department come up with a different proposal or do we call the question tonight?

Do we want a proposal that involves permitting or we want that's a lot of extra work. Uh but if there's only two properties, it's the work for two properties a year to to do it, you know. So if it's not if it's not 10 or 15 properties that the that we're having to do permitting and fire inspection on, you know, it's it's it's not a big deal. Or, you know, if we're how many years ago was this incident that you're talking about? It have to be at least seven probably. Yeah, I was thinking eight. Wow. So, it might also be that, you know, people don't put their houses up because they're afraid of that just just as afraid as we might be that that might happen. Yeah.

So, and the more exposure that something like that gets, as I mentioned, these platforms don't indicate on the platform whether or not it's allowed in jurisdiction, they don't want to listen. And it's not going to happen. Yeah. To me, it doesn't sound like the homeowner typically has malicious intent. It's the people that attend the party that have the the malicious intent, right? In which case, they could be still charged with other crimes, but it's no but it's no, you know, there the the homeowner doesn't face any consequences by having allowed these people on their own. That's that's the issue.

Just coach Sabin has to be there. Well, I guess should we give it another meeting or should we call it tonight? Anybody have a strong opinion either way? I'm not I'm not in favor of it as it is. I wouldn't be opposed to writing some sort of uh permitting. Once again, that's going to be I'd have to talk to Nino about it if you know he's You want to wait a meeting then and we'll we still have the option to to do a second reading on this. Okay. All right. Um, talk to our new fire inspector.

Number eight is the plans and bids for Ledger Storm Storm Storm. Mr. Chief.

Yes. So, this uh is a project. I think you guys have the uh the memo or the the exhibit there uh in the packet. This is a drainage improvement and a safety improvement really at the same time. That portion of Ledge Road uh the roadside ditch is extremely deep. Uh we've had problems with erosion on the sides of the ditch over the years. Uh we also recently had a car wind up in the ditch. Um so it's also a bit of a safety issue. So we'll install a storm sewer here to replace this ditch, solve both issues at the same time and project will be paid for with uh any RSD community cost share money. So it's a budget neutral item for the city. I'm assuming since we're going to bids, you'd like one, two, three, please. Anybody have questions or objections? Okay.

Is it going to increase water runoff? Like, you know, we have the problem, you know, down north Bedford, you going to increase water there? No, it won't. I assume any RSD is is given a a look. Uh, yes. If that was the case, any RSD would not be happy. So, but the answer is no. So it'll be the same amount storm water getting to all the same people currently. Okay. Um number nine is amendment number one. Yeah. Pretty early.

Well, it was kind of my hands were forced by this guy. So here memo's attached. Would appreciate a one, two, three. Okay. Anybody have any objections or questions? All right. Number 10. Um, this, uh, Mr. Gdaddy, do you want to explain number 10?

So, uh, this is basically a housekeeping item. Every year we pass um an ordinance that authorizes the county public defenders commission to provide uh service legal services for indigent individuals who are facing loss of liberty um charges in sto uh there's just a slight increase here. It was 230 last year bumping up to 250 this year per case. Okay. And I imagine you would like us to do one, two, three. I have no recommendation. All right. Anybody on council similar to one, two, three on this?

All right. Um Okay. We're at 7:30. I hope nobody minds. Sorry, question. Um I was going to go back. Anytime that you are um offering a motion, are you still doing that in Yeah, I'll still do it. Okay. Yeah, it's going to be I'm going to confuse myself, but Okay, that's fine. I'm going to go back to 85. It is 7:30. I didn't realize we were going to run over. Um, so I I don't know how many of you saw the rewrite that law department did on the cats and dogs ordinance. Um, we can either you can either talk directly to Mark uh outside of council or if anyone wants to discuss it, we can right now.

I'm confused because there are already agencies that are tasked to take care of some of this stuff that we're trying to regulate. And what do I mean by that? If the animal if the cats are dogs, animals are being mistreated, then you have the humane society. If they become a nuisance, then you have the health department. So, I guess I'm just not sure why we need a third layer. If I don't I actually thought the same thing and I actually looked and actually found a number of cities that actually prohibit it um and put it not into um I think ours lets it happen in a commercial zone the way it's Yeah. business district.

Yeah. The ones I found were were even further and said only in an industrial district which took me by surprise. I think that to answer your question I think the impetus was those agencies weren't doing enough from the city's perspective or at least somebody's perspective. So that was the reason for the legislation. I don't know the facts though to say to say why because I'm not cur why this why why this even came up according to you know I don't know you said it was against I mean I just right I'm just

yeah no I don't know where it came from but I think you know that the direction it currently went in was a suggestion I came up with because the number of cats number of dogs doesn't make any sense right um but classifying someone who's you just has a lot pets as an as an average resident versus someone who's doing it to sell them or to, you know, have a a very large quantity of animals in their home. I think there's a difference between those like classifications, but who knows? In its final form, we may not pass it. We may not we may not have three votes to pass. I don't know the answer to that. Um, and to be fair, it's legislation that started u in the former

calendar year and u I I really don't even know where we're going to land on it like what support it has just like this housing. Right. Yeah. And there they have uh this this home has been cited for numerous violations. Do you know the status on those? Well, what happened was they're trying to get rid of the talking about the cats. trying to get get rid of them to give them homes and stuff like that. They got rid of a few, but there still we counted when we were there 109, but they had vi they had violations for like the smell of their house and that's something that that they're and humane society did

and the humane society has has that the health of the cats and the residents in the things like that and um they did make an effort to clean up the house, you know, than what they had before, like ripping up carpet, you know, cleaning up, you know, flooring, wood, framing members, you know, because kind of soaks into the the wood and everything. So, they're trying to clean that off. So, they did make some efforts and but it still would come out of there. It was still had a smell all over, but they're used to it. So, right. So, it's a nuisance to the neighbors at this point with the smell. I thought they were on four acres. I don't know how big the property I thought.

I think it's very deep. Is it the guy who said I think it's deep. So I knew he said there was a closer neighbor, but Yeah. Yeah, there it is. Are there are there other I guess similar question as to before. Are there other laws that are being broken in terms of nuisance? Yeah. that are notated or well well I mean that's one example that of the city's history that it's experienced which led to this ordinance being suggested. So I wouldn't focus on a particular case that because that's yeah that's my concern that they would write legislation for one person. That's that's a big concern for me.

Yeah. You want Yeah. You want to look at this legislation as it applies to the city as a whole. But my you my question is you know as far as you know and just like she said uh we have do we have tools to correct a situation when it becomes a nuisance to neighbor and making sure that the animals are safe and are there tools that are making sure that they're not a nuisance. You know if someone has 100 cats in their home we have a nuisance law. have a general nuisance while so we're already able to make sure that it's not a problem to the neighbors and when it is a problem to the neighbors we can take action but regardless of how many animals there are

and yeah and and it doesn't stop at I mean I've been with racks I've been I mean I've been in houses that have filled with all kinds of and then you know just like we were talking about with the short-term rental that then puts some work and for the building department some extra work having to designate a catery you know any residents that might currently be considered owning a catery having to you know relocate their animals so you know if it's causing a nuisance to the neighbors we already have the tools to take care of that

and it is currently just in a draft form it's not something that was even ready to be amended at this point and this was just really for us to to discuss it openly since we can't do it outside of meeting. Yeah. I mean, and make no mistake, the the version that you last got a copy of that does provide more teeth than just a general nuisance. I There's no question about that. Absolutely. But you would be able to do such a thing in a in a residential area is the the big sticking point, right? So, and does it really solve anything because what are you going to do now? You cite that he has 109. What happens now? Then what what happens to those cats? Do we just bind them till he doesn't have any money? I mean

there's it doesn't just start just because you can write something. There's a whole process after that. Just let those cats out. It it makes it a criminal offense and that typically when every day is an ongoing violation, it typically gives people more incentive to fix cure the the condition more quickly, I guess. So yeah, I mean I Yeah, I Yeah, but there's a whole I guess what h you know what happens after I mean doesn't Okay, but it won't we won't read anything tonight. We'll just hold it and if you guys want to provide feedback to um Can you share uh with me some of those uh city ordinances you found? I can. I don't have them tonight. I did it at home. If you remember, email me. Yeah, I'll find it.

Thank you. I literally chat GP it. Okay.

Um All right. I know we need to get out there. I just want to make one quick mention. Um Mr. Hoover did make a request to attend the OMCA annual institute. Again, he did this last year. It's part of his journey to becoming a certified municipal clerk. Um we do have um funds in the council training budget that would cover this. I wanted to mention it to council, but I was going to tell him that he could proceed with it. That's great. All right. Sorry we ran over here. We're going to just not even read it. to the February 12th uh Macedonia City Council meeting. Um I just want to make a quick mention. Mayor Molnar is traveling on business at an energy conference this evening. So you'll uh see me running the meeting this evening. Um Mr. Hoover, if you wouldn't mind starting with roll call.

Miss BR here. Miss Cummings here. Mr. Ferraro here. Mr. Finley here. Mr. Jarvis here and then uh Chaplain O'Brien if you wouldn't mind to do the invocation.

Thank you. Please join me in a moment of reflection. May we be guided by wisdom, integrity, and compassion as we carry out the work before us tonight. Grant these council members clarity of thought and respect for differing perspectives. that every decision made be made in service to the common good. May our words be measured, our actions just, and our shared commitment to our community strengthened as we work together for the well-being of all who call Macedonia home. Tonight, we also pause to give thanks for the dedicated members of our Macedonia Police Department. We honor their daily sacrifices, their commitment to justice, and their steadfast protection of our community. Bless them with strength, safety, and peace as they face challenges both seen and unseen. May they always feel the support and gratitude of those they serve. And may their work continue to bring hope, safety, and trust to our community. Amen. And now, please join me in our 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.

Thank you, sir. Thank you. Okay. Uh we will move into the approval of minutes. Um, I will make a motion to approve the Thursday, January 22nd regular council meeting minutes. Second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? Motion carries. Um, I believe we have no public comments this evening. Do we have any correspondence?

Yes, sir. We do. Uh, first being a letter that I received just this afternoon. Says, "To whom it may concern, I'm writing this letter to offer my highest recommendation for Jenny's Gems Cat Rescue. Having worked with this organization for several years, I have seen firsthand their unwavering commitment to the welfare of the animals in their care. In my experience at their semionthly adoption events, the quality of care at Jenny's Jams is exceptional. Over the years, every cat we have encountered through them has been in excellent health, well socialized, and clearly treated with love and respect. Their attention to medical detail and the transparency they provide regarding the cat's backgrounds is a testament to their professionalism. What sets Jenny's gems apart is their consistency. In multiple years we have dealt with them, we have never encountered a single issue. They're organized, communicative, and most importantly, deeply dedicated to finding the right fit for both the cats and the adopters. It is rare to find a rescue that maintains such a high standard of health and operations over a long period. I have full confidence in their mission and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to adopt, volunteer, or support a rescue that truly does things the right way. Sincerely, Scott Peterson Pet Supply Store Plus store leader. And then there's also an email sent to our finance department from software solutions says, "John, as I communicated with the team this week, our project time has come to a conclusion. I really enjoyed working with all three of you and was genuinely impressed with how well you all came together from Macedonia. Not every entity we deal with has teams that could pull off what you did three did this past year. While I saw growth, I was most impressed with how easy it has been to work with you all. Thank you for taking it easy on me and for making me feel like I was part of your team. If you'd like to send a narrative of your project time with me, I'm sure our marketing team would love to hear it because I believe was success a success and we love success stories. You can share as much or little as you'd like. I'm sure we'll work together again. I really hope to see you all at the conference in October. And that's from Kim Baker with software solutions. And that is it.

Did get a chance to view the new family changing rooms at the rec center. Uh finally those got done. A lot of work went into that and it is it's great. Um I haven't had a chance to talk with director Ecuador yet about feedback from families, but I know the post online people are excited to to get to using it. It's a great space um for families to change when you have, you know, little kids that that need to go, you know, all change. It's a great uh lots of thought put into it for uh mobility challenged people and handicap accessibility. So, it's great that we're able to do that and and really we used to have um a family change room, but this one is a million times better. So, congratulations to everyone who worked on that. And um like I said, our meeting will be next Wednesday at six o'clock. End of report.

Any other committee reports? Okay, we'll go into department reports. Mr. Wilson,

thank you. Um yeah, I just want to state the obvious. Just want to say thanks to uh all the plow drivers and supervisors. They get kind of left out sometimes. Um you know, they they do a lot too. So um in January, normal snowfall in January is 18.4 in and we actually got 24.2. In December of 25, the normal is 12.2 and we got 15 in. So, you know, we're definitely above uh the normal um quite a bit in January and um you know, uh the drivers and supervisors worked a lot of uh days in a row. I think 24 hours. We did like eight or nine days or something like that straight. So, trucks ran a long time. Um great job. Um, I'm working on a John and I kind of together working on a energy audit for uh our facilities just to look at um you know LED lighting and different ways to um conserve and save money and do a better job with uh our energy plan. Um and the new service complex is coming along. Well, we just did a uh all day, and I mean all day, page turn meeting, uh which means we go through every single page of the plan. Um it's a little bit painstaking, but you know, you're still finding those little things where we're like, "Oh, maybe there should be a door there." You know, it's amazing. You still run into those all these little things. Um but it's it's been quite an experience and we're excited. Obviously, um the dirt is moving and uh but yeah, we're excited. So, it's it's uh always in progress. That's it.

Director Delotti. Yeah, thank you. Uh things are pretty quiet uh right now this time of year, but uh soon we will uh bid uh all of these projects that have recently come through council, most notably uh the road program for 2026. And uh when we do, of course, we'll bring you the uh results and the recommendations. End of report. Thank you, Director VZ.

I want to thank Dick Goddard for uh the 8day forecast because our budget really needs it, right? And you guys really did do a great job, not only hitting the streets, but hitting the budget hard. So, but it amazes me that, knock on wood, that um you've done it safely and efficiently. So, and the report any uh any mention of resident report that it's tax season. No, no, fire chief over.

Uh Chief Ripley. Thank you, President Garvis. I would just like to remind everyone if your fire hydrant is buried in snow, please unberry. It might be the difference of your house surviving a fire and not surviving a fire. Um, don't think we're not getting more snow. I'm sure that's what Dan's hoping for and by the sounds of a John, but there's more snow coming. Um, I would like to comment. Um, I have communicated with service on a regular basis. I have not heard them complaining about their plow trucks going down. Vince and I have been here long enough that there are times half of their fleet was broke down. That's a statement of where the city is and equipment they are providing to all of the departments that they can suffer through the winter they have so far and those have been minimal to the best of my knowledge and I think that's something we should be proud of. Uh I will up Kyle. I will wish my beautiful wife a happy anniversary on Sunday. Warren,

Chief Yakapovich. So, the police department's been busy with the hiring process, trying to fill the vacant patrol officer positions. Uh, soon we'll have a civil service test for dispatch that's uh scheduled for February 18th. So, we'll be moving on to the dispatch hiring. And of course, the way to go, Dan. Report. Thank you very much, director Gdaddy. No report, sir. Okay. Is there any unfinished business? Any new business? All right. Then in that case, I will make a motion to adjurnn. Second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? We are ajourned.
