City Council - Regular Meeting

Good evening. I apologize for the late start. We had a little technical difficulty. But before we get started tonight, I wanted to uh recognize a couple of groups. Uh the first one's very important to me. I've uh listened to them quite a bit over the last several years and uh that's our dispatchers over here at the police department and we've got national public safety telecom community it's easy for me to say week coming up. So uh we'd like to do a proclamation in recognition of their service. And I will say that uh the two ladies that we have here today are long-term dispatchers. Uh we have 27 years and 21 years here today. So, they've uh they've been through a lot with this and we appreciate everything you guys do. Whereas, National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week is observed each April to honor the dedicated men and women who serve as 911 dispatchers and public safety telecommunicators. And whereas these professionals are the first point of contact in emergencies, providing calm guidance and coordinating police, fire, and EMS responses. And whereas public safety telecommunicators deliver life-saving instructions while managing high stress situations with skill and professionalism. And whereas they are recognized nationwide as the first of the first responders and serve the community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And whereas the city of Beaver Creek relies on the skilled telecommunicators at the Beaver Creek Police Department and recognizes them as first responders to protect our residents. and whereas it is appropriate to express gratitude for their comm commitment, training, and sacrifices as first responders. Now, therefore, I, Don Adams, mayor of the city of Beaver Creek, al along with the entire city council, proclaim April 12th through April 18th, 2026 as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week in Beaver

Creek and urge all citizens to recognize and thank our public safety dispatchers for their vital service as first responders. Congratulations. Thank you so much for what you guys do. And I asked the ladies to speak. They said no, but they'll let the chief speak. All right. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And so, just to introduce our dispatchers, we have Tracy Kaufman and Lorie Macintosh. And on behalf of our dispatchers and our department, I want to thank the mayor and city council for this proclamation recognizing the outstanding work that our dispatchers do and also recognizing them as first responders. And in 2025, they handled nearly 65,000 incoming calls. And so their ability to take those calls, get the necessary information, direct the resources, maintain constant communication with our with police and fire personnel is critical to our success as an agency and we would not be able to function without the job that they do. So, we truly appreciate their hard work, their service, their professionalism, and their commitment to our department and to the community. So, thank you, Lori and Tracy, and thank all of our dispatchers for for the work that they do. Now we have one. Now we have one more. And I'm going to ask Councilwoman Bills

to come down here and join me for this if she doesn't mind. I've asked Sarah down here because before she was on council, she served on the tree advisory board. And so we wanted to make sure that we did this correctly. So whereas the Arbor Day Foundation was founded in 1972 and has grown to become the largest nonprofit membership organization dedicated to planting trees with more than 1 million members and is now celebrating 54 years. And whereas in April 2026, Beaver Creek was awarded for the eighth time a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation to honor its commitment to effective urban forest management by the Arbor Day Foundation. And whereas this holiday called Arbor Day was a first observed with the planting of more than a million trees in Nebraska and is now observed throughout the nation and the world. Whereas trees can reduce the erosion of our precious top soil, cut heating and cooling costs, moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce life-giving oxygen, and provide habitat for wildlife. And whereas trees are a renewable resource, giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our fires, and countless other wood products while beautifying and enhancing wherever they are planted. And now therefore, I, Don Adams, mayor of the city of Beaver Creek, along with the entire city council, dear hereby proclaim April 24th, 2025 as Arbor Day in the city of Beaver Creek and urge all citizens to celebrate Arbor Day and support efforts to protect our trees and parks and encourage all citizens to plant trees native to Ohio to gladden the heart and promote the well-being of this and future generations. Thank you for everything that you do.

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh, one of the things we plan on doing for Arbor Day is we're going to have our second Arbor Brew Day at the um Southern Ohio Brewery on 818 Factory Road. This is a familyfriendly event. So, we hope everybody can come out, bring your kids. Also, uh, we're going to have a food truck there, a raffle, sapling giveaways, and it should be good event. That's April 23rd from 4 to 8 at the Southern Ohio Brewery. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. I think she wants to get a photo.

We have a public hearing. Uh I'll let uh Miss Haynes explain what it is. Turtle Marsh LLC current agricultural use uh value uh cauv is uh authorizing the placement of 5.24 acres of land owned by Tuttle Marsh LLC in the agricultural tax district. said property address being 2618 Lance Road, Beaver Creek, Ohio 45434, parcel B42-00005-000010- 0-000022-0000 in accordance with the OC chapter 929, the Farmland Preservation Act. Resolution 2617, resolution by the Beaver Creek City Council authorizing the placement of 5.214 acres of land owned by Tuttle Marsh LLC in the agricultural tax district. said property address being 2618 Cinnamon Run, Beaver Creek, Ohio 45434, partial B42-00005-000010-00-000022-0000 in accordance with OC chapter 929, the Farmland Preservation Act.

Staff presentation. And for those at home and those here, we apologize for not having the charts that would normally be on the screen, but we had a little technical difficulty before the meeting started. That'll speed me up by three times. So,

that was the plan. So, this is uh obviously a uh CAUV application or current agricultural use value. Uh the property's at 26 2618 Cinnamon Run Road. Um, and again, as the clerk stated, they're looking to get about 5.2 acres classified in the CAUV program. Uh, this is a program that's authorized by Ohio Revised Code 5 or I'm sorry, 929. Um, and it allows uh a property that's being generally uh genuinely used as agricultural to not pay uh the residential rate for property taxes. So, um, this property is located about a half a mile north of Vergalito Park. It's kind of back you go through, um, uh, neighborhoods into Cinnamon Run Park. It's, yeah, about a half a mile. Um, what they use it for is a horse stables. Um, one of the requirements is it either be 10 acres or if it's under 10 acres, they show at least an average of $2,500 per year of revenue. Um in the application you can see that uh they provided multiple years of data. Um and over the last three three previous years the average has been over $16,000 annually on income of the pro gross income on the property. Uh it meets the requirements and the regulations. Um this was previously a also classified as a CAUV um but the name of the owners changed um and they formed an LLC. So, um, it just needed to be re-uped and so that's what they're here for this evening is to get that re re-uped as a Cauv uh doesn't see any concerns or have any problems with the uh the request as submitted. Thank you.

No. Is there the applicant here tonight? Mr. Lander and councel. Uh my name is Tom Mocky. I'm the property owner at 2618 Lance Road. It's uh kind of weird. The Sim and Run Drive is a private uh street, so we go by 2618 Lance Road, but uh you heard two different addresses. It's the same uh same property. Um property. We we acquired the property in 2018 and have been using it as a animal husbandry uh stable um uh facility. Since then, we just put the property into an LLC. Um like Randy said, it triggers this uh coming forward to you today to to re-up it essentially. Appreciate your consideration. Thank you very much. Uh this is a public hearing. So if there's anyone here that would like to come forward and speak to this uh one way or the other, come forward, state your name and address, and you'll have three minutes. Seeing none, I will close the public portion of it. Council, anything? Yeah.

A motion to approve resolution 26-17. Second. I have a motion and a second to approve resolution 26-17. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. Opposed. There you go. Ordinances, resolutions, and PUDs. Ordinance 26-11. Ordinance 26-11. An ordinance enacting and adopting a supplement to the code of ordinances for the city of Beaver Creek and declaring an emergency. Anything from staff? Nothing new.

I have a motion. Uh, your honor, I'd uh move to approve ordinance 26-11 as emergency. Second. I have a motion and a second to approve ordinance 26-11 as an emergency. All those in favor seek to Oh, roll call. I'm sorry. I went right there, right past it. Council member Curran, yes. Council member Derer, yes. Council member Bales, yes. Council member Bills, yes. Council member Litil, yes. Vice Mayor Upton, yes. Mayor Adams, yes. So,

all right. Next one up is resolution 26-9. Resolution 26-9, a resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement with Green County for the project known as GRE-CR25-1.19 P121218, Green Hall Road Pedestrian Improvements Project. Mr. Smith, how are you? Good evening, Mayor and members of the city council. I'll uh try to my presentation unfortunately was online there too. So I'll try to get through this as best I can and answer most of the questions through what I can remember here from the presentation. I Mr. Lander captured on live camera.

Oh okay. Yeah. So you don't see it. Okay. You can draw stick figures for us. Yeah. So, uh, this evening, the first, uh, item I have for you, uh, with the agenda is a, uh, agreement with Green County, uh, particularly the sanitary engineering department to go into an agreement for work needed for the Graange Hall Road pedestrian improvement project that I presented before. That project goes uh it's to install a side path along Graange Hall and then to put uh the multi-use path through the park um going from Lefino Park up to uh try to get it to work here.

Nope. Oh. Oh, we tried. Okay. This is This is not even April Fool's.

No, it's not. Yeah. So, um that project um once again that project for the pedestrian movements involves uh widening of the bridge over Little Beaver Creek. As part of that, the existing um water man and gas man have to be moved uh to the west of that bridge. So, as part of that, we need to we worked with Green County Sanitary Engineer to see what the best course of action was. either them doing it before or doing it as part of the project. And they said the best thing to do was part of the project. That way there wouldn't be impacts again potentially as we were doing the project. Um with that um agreement that we got a uh the design is being completed right now for that. Uh so that that cost for design was approximately $12,000. Um I did not put that in your agenda item, but I did have that on the screen for you. The uh construction estimate currently for that is around $150,000. That's still being finalized. There's still some minor uh items that are being uh revised in that. Uh so the total for that design and construction is 170 approximately $172,000 for that agreement. So uh what is before you tonight is a resolution uh to allow us to enter into that agreement with Green County to have this work done as part of the project. So, uh, staff would recommend that we move forward with that. I'll answer any questions.

Council questions. There's no grant funding or um anything with the county helping out or No, Mr. Upton. There's not. This would all be done. This is eligible as part of our project that we have that we have the federal funding for. Okay. So that I can't remember what the percentage is off the top of my head, but that percentage could be used towards that as well. So if we Yeah. So part of that if we don't go over the maximum allowed for the federal could be used for that. So yeah,

one point of clarification for me in the exhibit A, it does say the county is going to reimburse Beaver Creek. They are, Mr. Bales. That is correct. So yes, we will as part of the project when we get the invoices in, we will be asking for reimbursement from the county for that. Okay. So yeah. Yeah. Yes. As long as they pay their bill. That's why we that's why we get them to sign on the bottom line there. Anyone else? Mayor, I move to approve resolution 26-9. Second, I

have a motion and a second to approve resolution 26-9. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. Opposed. Resolution 26-20. Resolution 26-20, a resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into an LPA federal project agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation for the project known as GRRE-CR40-1.70 Kemp Road Widening Project P number 115008.

All right, good evening again. So uh this uh project is the Kemp Road widening project that is from Meadow Court Drive to uh Bluewing Drive. So it's east of where we finished the widening before uh in 2017 18 uh up to where it's widened out already for towards North Fairfield. Um with that we have reached the point where we need to uh sign our LPA agreement with ODOT uh for administration of the federal funds as part of the construction for the project. Um, so with that, uh, that's what's before you tonight. Just some overviews real quick since the slides aren't up. Uh, engineering costs for this, uh, approximately $375,000. That's all local share for that. That's ongoing right now and will be completed in 2026. Rightway, uh, is uh, $500,000 that is currently getting ready to start. Um, so that will be coming forth here throughout the year. Um, and we'll finish in early 27. Uh construction is scheduled currently for the summer of 2027. Uh in your agenda item, I had the amounts that were given on our application with ODOT uh when we were scoping the project. Um I just wanted to let you know too that Mr. Mormon informed me today that we did get the OPWC grant that we had asked for. That helps out with the local share and that's going to cover 20% of our local share up to a maximum of $960,000. Um, and two, just to let you all know as well, the ODOT federal share is still 100 or $1.8 million. Um, the local share though with our current estimate of uh 400 or 4,800,000, the local share with all of this would be approximately 100 or 1.9 uh67 million. So there is an increase just because of we'll reach our maxes for

those federal and state shares with that but try to keep this in budget as much as possible. So um so with that that's the agreement is before you as exhibit A um that we ask that we recommend that we move forward with that agreement. So very tight in there that's a really tight situation. It is. Yes. Wow. Yeah. The question that I had was summer of 2027. What's the duration of the project? Because I'm sure the school district is fed up with construction in front of their buildings.

Sure, Mr. Bales. Yeah, it's uh it's a 365day project. Yeah. And we have worked with we have worked very closely with the schools uh again with this since it is right in front of the school district or in front of Shaw Elementary. So, um, that's one thing that we'll do again is coordinate throughout for any types of delays or anything like that once we get into the school school year as well. So, thank you. Any feedback from any of the residents?

Uh, sure, Mr. Der. We've had a few um a few uh communication time few things of communication at the PI meeting that we had for it as well as some others where um we have a couple of residents that have houses that sit a little closer. So, we've worked with them already before rightway acquisition to make it so they are able to get into their driveways. That was a concern one gentleman had. Um, overall I think we haven't had too many things other than they were excited to see it uh because of the sidewalks and uh that are going in along there. Everybody seemed very excited to have that in front of the school finally. So yeah, I think it'll be a great upgrade. I'm excited for it. Mhm.

Your honor, I'd make a motion to approve resolution 26-20. Second. Have a motion and a second to approve resolution 26-20. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. I. Opposed. Very good. Resolution 26-21.

Resolution 26-21. A resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into an LPA federal project agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation for the project known as GRRE-CR7-0.00. 00 transportation for the project known as Oh, sorry. Beaver Valley Roadwide name project P number 11958. We're keeping you busy tonight.

Yes, you are. So, this um this is another LPA agreement for a different project that we um have scoped now with ODOT. Uh once again, uh this project for Beaver Valley runs from Dayton Xenior Road up to Hazel Drive and that's where the road widens out by um Hunter Ridge there to three lanes with the um side path right there. This project will include curb gutter storm sewer like we've seen with our other projects. It will widen out to three lanes to add that two-way left turn lane and then we'll also have a side path on the east side of the roadway to connect. So, um, oh, and then yes, thank you, Mr. Landram. Uh, this is also a joint project as well with the township, the Beaver Creek Township. Uh, Beaver Creek Township, uh, is going to be providing approximately 30% of, uh, design and construction costs for this project. So,

that was a question I had. It was just, is that part of the township? Yes, it is. Yeah. Yeah. cuz the uh this the um side path will actually be on the township side of the um road right away there. So, yeah. Can you talk about or have you thought about yet uh the intersection at Beaver Valley and Daytona Road? Um right now when you're on Beaver Valley Road, it's it's just tight. People are turning left, people are turning right. Is it all going to be widened to make it a little bit easier for in the mornings especially traffic backs up on Beaver Valley Road trying to turn onto Dayton Xena especially when schools in session.

Yeah, Mr. Bales that is something that we have discussed um preliminary with preliminarily with the designer that we um have authorized to or not authorized yet but we are in in uh negotiations with it's Wort that we're in negotiations with. Um, we talked about potential signal retiming with that, especially since the pedestrian movement's going north now, too. Along with that, uh, I've received uh, calls from citizens, from the school, and others just with how steep that roadway is coming into it to try to see if there's anything we can do to minimize that slope coming down into the intersection, too. especially during the winter when we get those cold uh days and snowy days. So, with that too, we'll widen the road out to stand normal um excuse me, uh standard uh lane widths and stuff now for current standards to help out with that for the turning movements and that turn lane will go all the way back through there. So, they can stack that left turn can stack more in the two-way left turn lane if needed. So, yeah,

that's great. Yeah. Wasn't there discussion with Selvin Le learning center and the uh VFW trying to make a trying to square that off so that there'd be a clear it seems awkward to get out of there. That's kind of sure there was at one point Mr. Cerwin I we'll have to check back with Mr. Mormon too to see if he heard anything else but at this point we have not looked at that yet. Um, but that is something that was brought up that we'll be exploring too. I think with that whole intersection with what to do there. So, yeah, cuz if you try to get out of the VFW, it's tough. Yeah. Yeah. It's right there. So,

very tough. So, anyone else? You're on a resolution 26-22. Move to approve. Second. 21. 21. Oh, I'm sorry. 21. We're jumping ahead there. I apologize. Second. I have a motion and a second to approve resolution 26-21. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. Opposed. Resolution 26-22. Yes.

Resolution 26-22. A resolution by the Beaver Creek City Council authorizing the city manager to execute documents and take all necessary actions to participate in and accept the six remnant defendants national opioid settlement.

Yes. Uh mayor and councel um Josh apologizes he couldn't be here tonight. Um but tonight we have resolution 2622 which asks council to authorize the city to participate and accept the six remnant uh defendant national opioid settlement and authorize the city manager uh to sign the required participation documents. In simple terms, this is an opt-in settlement. Ohio through its uh state attorney generals and local governments have been involved in opioid litigation and a national settlement has been reached uh dated February 23rd, 2026. Um the six defendants are named as the uh six rented defendants. Uh the names of those defendants are in your resolution packet. Um if the city participates becomes eligible to receive settlement funds. Uh the settlement provides for the creation of funding of the opioid remediation fund and the funds distributed to the participating subdivisions may be uh will be used primarily for opioid remediation purposes as defined in the settlement agreement. Uh the key reason for tonight, this is on your agenda, is that there's a deadline uh for the participating subdivisions to sign a settlement participation form honorable for May 4th, 2026. So with this resolution um we uh would ask that you would accept the recommendation of the city manager and the law director to participate in the settlement. Authorize the city manager to sign the participation form and any other documents needed to effectuate the uh its participation and authorize the uh city manager and the law director to take any additional steps necessary to implement the settlement in terms for the city.

Input council questions. I have a question. Does this does this settlement by signing this are there any um mandates that come down with it that require us to follow through on certain things?

Uh not that we're aware of, but it does restrict how the funds can be used. Uh and it's subject to the terms of the settlement agreement, but I said has to be primarily used for um remediation of the effects of the opioid crisis. Do we know if um the funds are going to be distributed through region 14 or is it come directly to each community? Uh I think the settlement totals of $720 million. The funds will then go into a a separate fund that will then be distributed down to the the subdivisions themselves. So it won't come directly to us. it'll go to a probably a state fund and then subdivided to each participating jurisdiction

which is how the main settlement has been handled and then distributed through the regions. So probably the same way I guess I recall when they talked about it would be through the region you know region 14. Thank you.

I have a motion. Move to approve resolution 26-22. Second. I have a motion and a second to approve resolution 26-22. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. I. Opposed. Resolution 26-23. Resolution 26-23 to authorize the Beaver Creek Police Department's acceptance of the Ohio bodywn camera grant program provided by the Office of Criminal Justice Services, OCJS.

Good evening, Mr. Mayor, members of council. So on March 27th, Beaver Creek Police Department was awarded a bodywn camera grant the amount of $22,8920 from the Ohio Department of Public Safety, Office of Criminal Justice Services. The grant provides funding to law enforcement agencies to develop, update, and or expand their bodywn camera programs and related equipment inventories. The Beaver Creek Police Department began utilizing bodywn cameras in 2017, and this grant funding will support continued updates to our existing cameras and equipment. This grant is 100% reimbursement grant and does not require a local match. Staff recommends council approval for the police department to accept accept this OCJS bodywn camera grant.

Thank you. Any uh input from councel? Motion motion to approve resolution 26-23. Second. I have a motion and a second to approve resolution 26-23. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. Opposed. That brings us quickly to citizen comments. We open the floor up to anyone that would like to come up. State your name and address. You have three minutes to address council on any subject you'd like. Don't everybody jump at once.

All right. Seeing none, I will close the uh citizen comment portion of it. We will start with council. We'll start with uh Councilman Der.

Thank you, Mayor. Um I was away for a chunk of the the time uh in New York annual trip that I make with a Molly United Nations team at Cedville University. Had the opportunity to talk to two different ambassadors from Jamaica and the United States about Beaver Creek. So uh kind of interesting. Uh but um you know the saying is all politics is local and in in chatting with these ambassadors there's just so much that can come back to a municipal level. So grateful for the opportunity to travel uh with that. I'd like to thank um Shaw Elementary School and the science fair that was put on there. Uh really tremendous work and for the judges coming from Wright Patterson Air Force Base and encouraging some of our youngest residents to have an interest in science and to uh go through a meth methodologically rich study and uh grateful for the involvement there. Then finally, I attended uh the quarterly members meeting at University Baptist Church. And that's it. Mayor,

thank you very much. And it was great to see your daughters the other night, Vice Mayor Upton. Uh nothing for me tonight, your Oh, very good. Council Bills,

In public service, we have Crystal Richie with one year, Jesse Arnett with four years, Tom Beck with 17 years, and Christopher Ghart with 22 years. In engineering, we have Mark Schulker with seven years. And in parks we have Matthew Sever with one year, Shauna Tib Sergeant with seven years. And in golf we have Spiro Stalanos with four years. Charles Lam Masteraster with nine years, Steve Click with 22 years. And in communications, we have Steve Hamilton with four years. I would say thank you for for all of these large contributions, especially some of these, you know, people we've had around for a long time. Um, so yeah, I've been busy. Uh, back at the end of March, I went to the Green County Food Council meeting, um, where we're trying to come up with a complete list of, um, pantries in our area. Um, and I don't know that that's something that we have for Beaver Creek. So, I hope to be able to work on that. Um, also on 326, I was able to go to Feed the Creek and volunteer there, uh, with a with a community group. And I was able to go to the Beaver Creek Women's League and have lunch at the Green County Career Center, which is a gem of our community, of course. And we were also graciously hosted at Michael's house for the first Thursday event. And um I really enjoyed looking around that place and learning more and talking to some of the

advocates and the employees and hearing about the wonderful work that they do. Um let's see. On April 11th, I was able to host a table at the All About Flowers event uh that was done through the Beaver Creek wetlands uh and teach kids about leaving their dried plants up over winter so they can feed the birds. And on 412, I was at the Girl Scout awards for the bronze, silver, and gold awards. Um, those girls worked really hard and they had wonderful displays set up um, ranging from mental health to native plants to uh, veterans. They're doing some fantastic work and we have a great crop of girls in our community. And that's it for me.

Thank you very much, Councilman LL. Thank you, mayor. I'm going to uh use my time as an opportunity to discuss the uh because I'm not going to be here for the 23rd meeting and I do know that the uh issue of income tax is going to come up and it's going to arise during that meeting and I'm not going to be here to cast my vote. I do however want to inject and make sure everyone knows that I am fully 100% on board with getting this income tax initiative on the ballot. My absence is because of pre-planned event. There's just not going to be able to be here on time. I want to make sure that everybody knows that that it is important and the citizens have spoke to us in regards to working in a way to lower property taxes and this is a way to do that. And I feel like that anyone out there that has seriously looked at this initiative will see that this is in the best interest for Beaver Creek and it'll put Beaver Creek in line with all the other cities within the state of Ohio. That's all I have to say, Mayor. Thanks.

Thank you very much, Councilman Bales. Thank you, Mayor. Uh just a couple quick things really. Uh this week I'll attend the Beaver Creek uh golf advisory board meeting and we'll report back at our next meeting. And then uh on a non city related topic, I'd like to congratulate the high school theater department. I went uh to the musical curtains this past weekend and uh it was very enjoyable and the kids are very talented and so I was I was impressed by uh by the entire thing. So just wanted to give a little shout out to them. Thank you. Thank you Councilman Curran.

Thank you your honor. I I too also had the opportunity to attend Michael's house and was very impressed. That's a that's a tremendous facility and as many of you already know been working in this area for many many many years to try to deal with uh violence uh issues and affect youth. Also uh on Easter Sunday at our church we're entertained by Cedarville University choir and they were absolutely fantastic. That's all your honor.

Thank you very much. Um it's been three weeks so I've been really busy. Um, don't know if I'll list it all, but we'll uh we'll start with part of it. First of all, I want to thank our dispatchers. Uh, I think they do an outstanding job for us. They I I know what they do to protect the officers and keep them safe as much as they can. So, I I really appreciate the work that they do for us. Uh, I had the privilege of a a personally guided tour of Cedarville University by Councilman Dr. Der. Uh it's an amazing facility that you have out there and it's getting better all the time. So I really appreciate the time you took to take us around and introduce us. Um I was privileged to be a part of a pinning a veteran pinning event at uh Walnut Grove Country Club for a veteran of World War II that uh turned 100 years old. And uh I was able to give him a proclamation from the city as well. So that was uh it was fun to be a part of that. I attended the ribbon cutting for the newly remodeled Odyssey technology office in Beaver Creek. It wasn't new, but uh they've been around since 2014, but they've redone their uh their facility. And uh they're actually going to be almost doubling in size over the next year or two. And they do things in there that u I don't even want to think about. You know, they do it all for the war fighters out there. It's amazing what they're developing. Most of it they wouldn't tell me about. Uh I attended the ribbon cutting for hangers three and four at the Dayton International Airport for Sierra Nevada Corporation. And if you've never been in one of those hangers, I've been in a lot of hangers, but I've never been in one that big. You could put a 747 and two F-35s in there at the same time and still have room to work. But they do a lot of really good work for the war fighters out there. they uh

bring these airplanes in and reconfigure them to become war fighters. So, it's a it's an amazing facility they've got out there and they also are growing the I think they're going to build two more hangers out there. So, that's it's a big opportunity for a lot of people. Uh I attended the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the F-22 Raptor. U I don't know if you've ever seen that airplane, but it's an amazing aircraft and it's still out there working today. It's over in uh Iran flying daily missions. Um great first Thursday's already been brought up. Michael's House. Uh it's a child advocacy center here in Green County. And if you've not been to it, I highly recommend going to visit it to see what they do. Uh it's one of those sit places that you really wish you didn't have to have, but you're really glad it's there because they do a really good job getting kids that have been through some trauma and things like that ready to uh come out on the other side, if you will, and they do a lot of good work out there. Uh I think I'll leave it at that. I've got five or six more things, but we'll leave it at that so we won't go any further. You can all read it in the minutes of next month. So, um, Mr. Lander, welcome back, by the way.

Uh, thank you. I don't see a sunburn, but at least there's a tan there.

Yeah. Well, the sunburn is, uh, other places not visible by the camera. So, uh, I'd be remiss if I didn't start out with, uh, tomorrow, uh, wishing my wife, uh, better than I deserve. 36th year anniversary. So, um been blessed. Yes, absolutely. Thank you. Uh so, spring into adventure. Just a couple things uh to outline today uh tonight for this week coming up uh Saturday, April 18th.
