4. COMMUNITY COMMENTS:
A. Mr. Ted Hackworth, 531 Courtland Lane. Mr. Hackworth stated he would like to address Council regarding the initiative petition he filed on June 18th. He stated this was an initiative to have a two year moratorium and force us into some sort of a growth management plan over the next two years while the moratorium was on. He stated he had received a letter from Mrs. Fersch that she was not going to send the petition to the Board of Elections as it had a deficiency in it. He stated when he originally filed the petition on March 20th he was required to file the ordinance and make a statement it was a certified ordinance. Mr. Hackworth stated that was his confusion, however, the sad part was that 512 registered voters signed it. He stated there was a lot of enthusiasm in the community for that ordinance to be passed or for the citizens to at least have a chance to vote on it. He stated he was present this evening to ask Council to place this issue on the ballot, and there is time for Council to put it on the November ballot. He stated he does not have enough time to redo the petition and get it on the ballot.
B. Mrs. Carolyn Dauer, 241 Pearl Lane. Mrs. Dauer stated she has lived in Pickerington for about 13 years. She stated she is soon to leave Pickerington, but not due to anything Council has done. She stated she would like to put some perspective on this community from the standpoint of a senior citizen. Mrs. Dauer stated there are many good things in this community; the young people have always been extremely polite. Mrs. Dauer stated she worked with the school board on the Community Education committee and serving on that Committee was one of the most important community efforts she has ever served on. She stated there have been ups and downs in the City since she has lived here, but she has always enjoyed living here and she had come this evening to say goodbye.
C. Carol Carter, 73 Lakeland Place. Ms. Carter stated she would like to address the S.R. 256 widening project since this project did not seem feasible to her. Ms. Carter stated ODOT’s survey was run at a 1.2 percent growth rate and we know it is much higher. Ms. Carter stated when she asked about Tussing Road, ODOT said they got their survey off of the old 256/I-70 project and that was years ago. Ms. Carter stated she felt the addition of another light would just add to the chaos in the area. Ms. Carter stated she did not feel this project was thoroughly thought through or that they had considered the businesses on Tussing Road. She stated she felt they were trying to alleviate the traffic on the freeway and they should give us some time and give us some options, not try and rush it through.
D. Mr. Dennis Boruszewski, 542 Warwick Lane. Mr. Boruszewski stated that government of the people, for the people, and by the people is as true today as when Abraham Lincoln said it, except in Pickerington. He stated government is supposed to help the people govern, not to look for ways to limit their access to it. Mr. Boruszewski stated over 500 registered voters in the City signed a petition asking that a growth initiative be put on the ballot, and the City administration, citing a technicality, has derailed the citizens’ attempt to let the voters decide. He stated instead the city administration chooses to listen to special interest groups that hold their profits above the well being of our citizens. He questioned why the administration has retained a special counsel, at taxpayers expense, that specializes in election law to find the loop hole to keep the citizens from deciding their own fate. He stated he thought it was obvious that the city administration was sure the citizens would vote for a controlled growth plan and they were afraid of hurting the feelings of the special interest groups that they hold dear. Mr. Boruszewski stated that while the citizens were kept from voting on this important issue by these actions, they will remember who to vote against in November. He stated when the recall petitions are filed against the remaining members of this exclusive club, don’t be surprised that tonight the signatures just got easier to get.
E. Mr. Dave Huston, 710 Andrea Lane. Mr. Huston stated he had read in the paper Mr. Wright’s comments that Council does not issue building permits. He stated Mr. Wright is correct, the building department does, however, who okays the developments in the City? He stated he believed that was Council. Mr. Huston stated when Council approves a development, they are approving building permits for all those parcels in those developments. Mr. Huston stated he felt it was time the citizens of Pickerington took back their government.
F. Rex Myers, 261 Pearl Lane. Mr. Myers stated since 1992 the taxpayers have been paying the Manager, the City Council, and the City Attorney, and they have all been working for the developers. Mr. Myers stated the Manager, Mayor, and Council have approved the law director hiring outside help when he is getting paid to do the city attorney work. Mr. Myer stated thousands of dollars have been spent to have someone do his work. Mr. Myer further stated the City Manger hires consultants to do her work, and he felt it was time to get rid of the City Council, the City Attorney, and the City Manager, and fire them all and get someone in here who knows what they are doing and are not working for the developers.
G. Katelyn Sattler, 7774 Tokatee Drive. Ms. Sattler stated as everyone is probably aware, residents of Park Place did prevent the City of Columbus from closing Hines Road. She stated Mayor Postage and Mr. Wright helped them with that. Ms. Sattler stated they had held a community meeting and she appreciated the fact that Mayor Postage and Mr. Wright came to their meeting, because the residents of Park Place hope to be able to work with the City of Pickerington. Ms. Sattler stated she agreed with Mayor Postage that Columbus does need to start working with the City of Pickerington because what happens on the east side of Columbus does affect Pickerington, particularly within the school district. Ms. Sattler stated although Park Place is not in Pickerington but in Columbus, the civic association they are forming would like to work with the City of Pickerington as well.
H. Wes Monhollen, 95101 Knarwood Court. Mr. Monhollen stated he would like to address the issue of the Community Authority. He stated he still supports the Community Authority, as it is the only lawful means other than a bond levy to build schools. Mr. Monhollen stated he has seen the Community Authority document presented by the BIA and it does closely resemble what the schools initially thought was needed to cover a set number of homes. Mr. Monhollen stated whether it was fair or not to those people who would be buying those homes is a subject for debate, but if homes are to be built in the area this does help with the cost of building the schools. Mr. Monhollen stated an operating levy is being voted on today, and he would urge Council to support the Community Authority because while it is not the perfect instrument, it is the only lawful means we have to address this situation. Mr. Monhollen stated he would ask that if changes are made to this document, one of the changes should be that all of the income derived from the Community Authority go to the schools. Mr. Monhollen stated while he did not feel it was unfair to have new people coming into the area to build new schools, he did feel it was unfair to ask them to build the community center because he felt the community as a whole should support that. Mr. Monhollen stated he felt a community center would be a great joint effort between the City and the Township.
I. Gail Oakes, 7815 Jefferson Drive. Ms. Oakes stated she owns a business in Pickerington, however, they have moved the bulk of their employees over to a location in Columbus. She stated she would ask Council to consider overturning Mrs. Fersch’s decision to forward the growth initiative to the Board of Elections. She stated she believed that in good faith over 500 people signed this petition, and she felt they should afford the people an opportunity to speak. Ms. Oakes stated the Community Authority is not the only way to go in this community, it is a very good tool, but you still have constituents and she believed it was Council’s obligation to listen to those constituents.
J. Stephanie Brobst, 7020 Blacklick Eastern Road. Ms. Brobst stated she would like to address Council regarding several issues. She stated with regard to the 256 widening project, she would maintain that as a school bus driver, 11 foot lanes would be a safety issue and she felt this would increase accidents in that area. Ms. Brobst continued she would also ask Council to overturn the decision not to forward the initiative petition to the Board of Elections. Ms. Brobst stated she would also like to address the issue of Hickory Lakes. She stated a lot of questions have been posed regarding this purchase and while Council discussed this issue in Executive Session, the answers to those questions have never been made public. She continued that after the Executive Session Mr. Mapes had quoted figures that were taken from the County Auditor’s web site. She stated that the tax assessed value of the land does not reflect the market value of the property, and she did not feel that city taxpayers should accept a figure coming off of the web site. Ms. Brobst further stated she understood the Community Authority document allowed for 300 homes per year and she would like to know if that was the maximum allowable total in all of Pickerington or is that only what is allowed in the Community Authority area.
5. APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA: Mr. Wright stated there were two consent agenda items, Resolution 2003-15R, “A Resolution Creating a FEMA Fund,” and Resolution 2003-16R, “A Resolution Creating a Stormwater Improvements Trust Fund for the purpose of escrowing contributions for stormwater improvements.” Mr. Fox moved to adopt; Mr. Parker seconded the motion. Roll call was taken with Mr. Sabatino, Mr. Fox, Mr. Shaver, Mr. Wright, Mr. Parker, Mr. Maxey, and Mrs. Riggs voting “Yea.” Motion passed, 7-0.
6. COMMITTEE REPORTS:
A. FINANCE COMMITTEE. Mr. Wright stated Finance met on July 24th, and the minutes have been distributed. He stated several items discussed at that meeting are on the agenda and he would be happy to answer any questions.
7. REPORTS:
A. MAYOR. Mr. Wright stated Mayor Postage is ill today and he apologized for not being able to attend this evening. Mr. Wright further stated the Monthly Mayor’s Court Report has been distributed. Mr. Wright stated he and Mayor Postage had attended the Park Place community meeting concerning the Hines Road closing and he felt it was a very productive meeting, and he was proud the City could help in this manner. Mr. Wright stated the way the Community Authority is written, it is for 300 homes in that area, and above that there would be a penalty payment the builders would have to pay. Mr. Wright further stated it was correct ODOT used a 1.5 percent growth rate for the 256 model, however, they did also update their model to include a 5 percent growth rate, and that basically accelerated the problem seen at the I-70/256 intersection to where that intersection failed even quicker. He stated ODOT is trying to put us on a fast track with the federal government, but that is still a seven to 10 year process. Mr. Shaver stated he felt the only way the Community Authority could be effective would be to impose a ten year moratorium on any housing building permits outside the Community Authority so there would be a maximum of 3,000 houses built in the community over a ten year period. Mr. Wright stated Mr. Shaver was correct, but there is a penalty for going above 300.
B. LAW DIRECTOR. Mr. Mapes stated he had nothing to report, and he would answer questions. Mr. Shaver clarified that the deadline for Council to put anything on the ballot regarding the initiative petition is August 21, 2003. Mr. Mapes stated further it must be a written piece of legislation, and it would have to be an emergency piece of legislation in order to meet that deadline. Mr. Shaver clarified the legislation would require a Committee waiver or a council manic waiver of committee action.
C. FINANCE DIRECTOR. Mrs. Fersch stated she had distributed the income tax report for July and also copies of the paperwork that she had sent to Mr. Hackworth.
D. MANAGER. Mr. Wiseman stated Mrs. Bushman is on vacation and the Manager’s Report had been distributed. Mr. Wiseman stated he had attended the Tax Budget hearing earlier this week with Mrs. Fersch. Mr. Wiseman stated he would be happy to answer any questions.
