Miami City Council
📝 Transcript● Synced
00:03I call it over the writer's government in the city council from Monday April 1st, 2024.
00:09Two proclamation declaring April, 2024 is autism awareness.
00:14They accept it tomorrow.
00:16Motion to approve.
00:18Second.
00:19Hi.
00:20Eastern.
00:21Williams.
00:22Hi.
00:23Hi.
00:24And nobody's here for that, right?
00:29Three.
00:31Three.
00:32Input.
00:33Let's get a personal picture as we have one.
00:34I'm just going to weigh you brown.
01:03Hey, Parker.
01:04Thanks for having me in council.
01:07Just wanted to come here in person and offer that the important family stands ready to assist
01:15and do the fund, the purchase of the surplus piece of property, which affects our property on the lower
01:22land.
01:23We would propose that we would put up the funding city, we would purchase it from the city,
01:33basically the sign of the council.
01:36However, then everyone can work out the agreements.
01:40Best to get the full kind of fit in the site design, traffic circulation and everything else.
01:49We've worked about eight years getting about 2016 to get this point.
01:57We've won two lawsuits against ODOT, which helped force the issue to make the property declared
02:05as surplus.
02:06The blue shaded part on the survey is what the state took from us in 1956.
02:15The orange is the right away.
02:19It was really part of the blue as well.
02:22Going north of the created 69A, the yellow is what they just recently took from us, which is
02:28about the same size as the parcel that they've offered to the city.
02:34We think that it was offered in air to the city, but we want to work with y'all to the
02:40bedroom of the city to create sales tax revenue for the people here in Miami.
02:45And we think that that site really needs that front footage to maximize the value.
02:50And so we're here to stand ready to fund it, to work with the city on anything to do with utilities with.
03:00signage for the betterment of the city and the maximization of the revenue for the city.
03:07So that's why I came in tonight, would appreciate doing this on the all schedule.
03:16I know we've got 45 days from the day to the letter from the T.A. to the city.
03:21Execute that and I'm sure they're amenable to working with y'all and we're certainly amenable to working with y'all
03:29to facilitate it and get this development.
03:33I don't know if you're interested in any questions anybody has or a section that's really designed for that.
03:43I'll be here in town, if y'all need, we were in putter.
03:48We've got lots of data that I could share with you, but you really want to get this property.
03:57Starting work generates revenue for the city.
04:01Thank you so much for being here.
04:07For calling us.
04:08Want to approve?
04:10T.A.
04:14Hi.
04:16Hi.
04:17Five.
04:18minutes from the March.
04:19A level.
04:20Twenty-twent-two.
04:21A special meeting.
04:22March.
04:23Twenty-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent.
04:25Twenty-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent.
04:29I'm just kidding.
04:32He's sad.
04:33Hi.
04:34Hi.
04:35Hi.
04:36Six presentation discussion.
04:38The Mime Area Economic Development Services Incorporated Action Plan for Economic Development,
04:44Mr. Shandu Han, and Mr. Jim Brown.
04:46And hello, it's here too.
04:50I don't really care how much she's part of that team.
04:52She drives that team.
04:56Let's be clear.
04:58Mayor, thank you.
05:00It's always in the great opportunity to come before the council and speak to you.
05:04Especially when we get to talk about something that's important to all of us and that's economic development.
05:08As you remember, back at the end of last year, the Mime Industrial Development, the Mime Area Economic Development Service,
05:19contracted with Mr. Fram and his company, Community Growth Strategies to develop an economic development action plan for Mime and Ottawa County.
05:28Mr. Fram has been working hard, conducting numerous interviews in person, zoom interviews, task force meetings, and he even held a public forum here at the Civic Center.
05:40To gather information for the development of this plan, that data is what is led to the creation of this plan.
05:49And so what I want to stress to you before I introduce Jim is, we need to make sure that just because the Mime Area Economic Development Service,
05:59the Mime Area Economic Development Service,
06:00in the creation of this plan, which was driven entirely to give credit where credit is
06:06due by our chairperson, Ms. Heather Lillard, because I don't know that we would have gotten
06:10to this point, I don't know we would have gotten this far without her leadership, but she
06:16really helped drive this project and as a result Mr. Fram is put together, I think, a strong
06:22plan. He's going to hit some of the highlights of that tonight, but remember this, it's
06:27our plan, it belongs to all of us and it's only going to be a successful based on the amount
06:35of effort that we're all willing to put into it. We're not here to take credit, we're not here
06:41to make it any one believe for one second that this belongs entirely to Mades. We all share in this
06:49plan and we hope that you'll join us because without it this plan cannot be successful. So with that
06:55being said, please join me in welcoming Mr. Jim Fram from Community Growth Strategies.
07:04Thank you, Shannon. May I remember the council? Citizens of Miami. We've been working on this
07:11nearly seven months now. Excuse me, springtime allergies. And we've put together about a 30-page,
07:20very detailed plan and I'm not going to sit here tonight and read a 30-page plan to you, but as Shannon said,
07:24we're going to try to give you some highlights of this plan going forward and respond any questions that
07:30you may have. The ultimate goal of this plan was to develop basically a to-do list.
07:37A to-do list, not for Shannon, a to-do list, not for Mades, a to-do list for the community, because everybody
07:43in the community needs to have some ownership in this strategy going forward and we've made some of
07:49those assignments. So we'll go through this. Talking about the economy, they're primarily two
07:57kinds of jobs that can be recruited to a community one of those as retail or service. The other one
08:03is primary. Retail is a very important component of an economic development strategy that retail needs
08:10one thing, customers. And those customers need one thing. Those customers need an income that gives
08:17any ability to go buy purchase product or services from that retail business. So both of those are
08:23very important. So we're going to be focusing on both types of jobs as we go through this community.
08:31Shannon touched on this, but it's important that we have a team. I've had the pleasure of being in a
08:38professional economic developer for over 40 years now and I've worked in places like Little Rock, Tulsa,
08:44Lincoln, Nebraska, but I've also worked in places like Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Harrison, Arkansas,
08:50House Springs, Arkansas, Killing, Texas, and it's the same everywhere. It's successfully economic
08:56development program is when that developer then investor.
09:00or that site location consultant comes into town
09:02and he sees that that community is kind of all going
09:04in the same direction.
09:06If they're fussing and fighting and lots of disagreement,
09:08they've got lots of other places they can go
09:10where people operate or work as a team on economic development.
09:14So this plan encourages you to pursue that.
09:19We did a lot of interviews.
09:22We did a public forum.
09:24We did some small focus groups.
09:26But a lot of this plan too is driven by demographics.
09:29In the report, you'll see two pages of demographic information.
09:33There's a very detailed report for my alma.
09:35There's a very detailed report for Ottawa County.
09:38I'm just going to get some of the highlights of that.
09:40Basically, in the last decade from 2021 back,
09:44your population growth declined by nearly five percent.
09:48So you get more people moving out than moving in.
09:51One of the real good things in the demographic study
09:54is a median age and your community is 32 years of age,
09:58which is younger than the US average, younger than the national average.
10:02Native American populations, nearly 20 percent.
10:05The percent of people below the poverty line is 23 percent.
10:09That's something we need to work on in change.
10:12Nearly 30 percent of the population receive some
10:15form of public assistance.
10:17We need to do some things with this strategy to create good
10:20paying jobs to change some of those things.
10:25The first thing that we did was, I mentioned the public form,
10:32the focus groups that we did in the interviews.
10:34And these are some things that came out and are kind of listed in prior
10:37re-order.
10:38And I'm going to talk a little bit about each one of those.
10:42The first thing that I can get my quick work here.
10:46The first thing that came out and probably the most prominent thing
10:49is no secret anybody was the flooding.
10:52And we're going to talk about that as later as we go into this.
10:56The second thing that in this strength, weakness,
10:59opportunity analysis that people said is that we have a great location.
11:02We need to take advantage of that.
11:04We're nearly a suburb of Joplin.
11:07We're less than 90 miles away from Tulsa.
11:09If you draw a triangle with Northwest Arkansas Joplin Tulsa,
11:13we're almost in the center of that center of that triangle.
11:16So our location is very good.
11:17And we need to sell that.
11:19We need to take advantage of that.
11:21We're sitting right on the turnpipe.
11:23Thousands and thousands of cars go back and forth on that each day.
11:25Let's get them all to turn and come in here and spend some dollars.
11:29The next thing that talked about was quality alive.
11:31People that attended this public forum and went to these focus groups
11:35want to see the quality of life elevated here.
11:38That's natural.
11:38That's something wanted in every community.
11:42Another one that was a big talking point with people
11:45was affordable housing.
11:47There's a housing shortage.
11:49And we're going to make some recommendations further down
11:51and report on how to address that.
11:55The other one was crime and crime legislation without getting into detail.
12:00there is some confusion and I'm glad to see the chief police here but there's some confusion
12:08in first responders going to something about whether it's one of the Native American
12:13Tribal units that needs to be responding or a city unit or county unit and there's some
12:18state law that's kind of mixed up in that but that's something that came out in some of the
12:23focus groups and some of the public comment and so we want to talk about that a little bit
12:27as we go forward. Next one is Tribal Relations. One of the most important things you can do,
12:33you've got a good relationship with the Native American Tribes here now. We need to continue
12:38to develop that relationship and enhance that relationship and that's going to do nothing
12:42but help your economy. There are some things that we haven't done in the past that we need
12:46to do going forward where the Tribal folks can be great partners to economic development in this community.
12:53The other one is obvious and you saw that the demographics people want manufacturing jobs or primary jobs.
13:00They want high paying jobs. They want to pull out of that poverty. They want to get above that poverty line.
13:05They want to be able to go and spend dollars at retail businesses and at service industries in the community.
13:12The next thing was streets and this is a problem that's common with every city in the state, every city in the country,
13:20as people want to see the streets improved and taken care of better as we go through.
13:26The last one is industrial business park land and this is very important because it's product.
13:32I don't know who said this quote that somebody said you can't sell from an empty wagon.
13:37If you don't have products, you don't have anything to sell and that product needs to be business-developable land.
13:43It needs to be industrial land and there's going to be some discussion as we go through this about possibility of a spec building.
13:50You just fill one and so we need another one.
13:53This is kind of put into three parts business-attack attraction.
13:59Business retention taking care of businesses that we already have and entrepreneurship.
14:04We want somebody that has a good idea to build a company to build that company here and not someplace else.
14:10We're going to talk about business attraction first.
14:13The first goal is to pursue the attraction of new primary jobs in my local home and surrounding region.
14:23It's very important that we do that and there's some things that we're going to recommend that you do in that business attraction.
14:30I mentioned earlier the importance of teamwork and everybody kind of going in the same direction.
14:35But we need to have a point-person.
14:37We're recommending a strategy that the CEO of May is that point-person.
14:42The mayor has to be on the team.
14:44You members of the Council have to be on the team.
14:46Counting commissioners have to be on the team.
14:48Everybody has to be on the team.
14:50But you need a point-person that can direct the developer and the site location consultant and the person that's investing to where to go to get what information.
15:00It's very, very important if a site location consultant comes into town and they've got to
15:05go find 10 different people on their own, they're not going to stay here very long because
15:09they have other options and other places to go, so we need that point person. That's our recommendation.
15:16We're going to ask maids to identify the owners of a potential industrial and business park
15:22plant. Again, that's product. We have some now. You always need more. You get contacts from the
15:31utilities, you get contacts from open department of commerce, you get prospects that just come in
15:36off the street, you have to have product to be able to show them. Despite building, you just
15:43filled your spec building. And my first question was, or my first comment was congratulations,
15:48my first question was, when are you going to build an exploit? Because if you didn't have that spec
15:52building, that company wouldn't be here, it wouldn't have come in here. So you need to start working
15:57toward putting together the next spec building to draw that person. I think you need to recruit retail
16:06businesses. Your mayor has been very active in that, might just been very active in that. You need more
16:11retail businesses because in Oklahoma City supported by sales tax revenue. So it's very important
16:16that we build that. We're recommending that maids prepare a fact sheet on potential retail sites
16:24in the community that include traffic counts, cost of property information that companies need.
16:33Most, especially national companies, have a template that they use to decide where they're going to
16:39put a store or where they're going to put a location. And that's usually based on traffic counts in front of
16:45the sites. It's based on per capita income. It's based on household income. It's based on how many
16:51people you have above or below poverty line. And like McDonald's for example, they built so many stores
16:57across the country and around the world that they know what that template has to say to be profitable.
17:02And they're not going to build a store in a location that the criteria doesn't meet that template
17:09and doesn't make them successful. We're going to recommend, we're recommending that maids
17:17develop online surveys. Let's find out what people in my and auto walk out here driving to
17:23shop and what are they driving to tell us about? What are they driving to North West, Arkansas to buy?
17:29Let's find out what those things are. And that gives Shannon and his team a list of the types of businesses
17:37that we need to bring in because we can go to developer until that developer that we surveyed our
17:41community and our survey, our survey has told us that these are the type businesses that this community wants.
17:48We're recommending that maids join ICSC. That's an acronym for organization of retail developers
17:58from across the country.
18:00They have several forums or shows across the country.
18:04The closest one to us here is called the Red River event,
18:08and it's usually held in the Fort Worth area.
18:10We're recommending that they may join that,
18:14that they participate in that event every spring,
18:18that they take a team representative from Miami to that,
18:22that they go in armed with that template
18:24with those demographics to talk about how many retail sites we have,
18:28what traffic counts are,
18:31what some of the demographics are of our community
18:33to convince some of those developers to come take a look.
18:37Marriage is very important for you and council members
18:39to be a part of these teams as we go out and do this stuff.
18:41So they know we have political leadership going forward and asked.
18:46Go number three, we're recommending that we extend and recreate
18:51an extensive marketing plan that supports and achieves the actions
18:55of this economic development strategy for the surrounding region.
18:59One of the things that we think you need is way finding signage.
19:06In the report, I've got some photos of some other communities
19:09that have very attractive way finding signage.
19:11Some of them right here in Oklahoma.
19:14But when somebody takes that exit off of the turnpike
19:16who's never been here before, they need something that tells them
19:20where the city hall, where's the chamber of commerce office,
19:24where the schools, where the, where's medical care, that sort of thing.
19:30They need to be directed down here to your beautiful main street
19:32because if they just get off of that exit and buy gas
19:35and get back on the turnpike, they're never going to see this beautiful street
19:38that you have going up in 36.
19:41So we're recommending that the city invest in way finding signage
19:44to help make that happen.
19:48But together a social media effort, this would be a joint effort
19:52with the city and the schools, within a yo, with maids,
19:56to have a social media effort to be on social media.
20:00I have 40 plus clients in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri.
20:06And I can tell you that three or four of those who have developed
20:09a strong social media presence are out front
20:14and they're seeing every day and they're seeing by developers.
20:17They're seeing by investors and they're seeing by site location consultants.
20:22Benchmark against other communities.
20:24Oklahoma has several communities that are doing a great job
20:27in economic development.
20:29They're also great organizations in surrounding states
20:32that have been very successful in economic development.
20:36I'm suggesting that Shannon put a few folks in a car
20:39and go visit with these folks.
20:41We all have egos.
20:42They like to brag about what they're doing.
20:43So let's go let them tell us what they're doing.
20:45And if it's a good idea, let's bring it back to my main use it here.
20:48I'm a huge believer in Benchmark.
20:51Here's an example on a larger scale.
20:53Tell us if there's one Benchmark visit every year
20:56to a large metro area.
20:57They take about 120 people.
21:00business leaders from Tulsa to go on those and they come back and bring those ideas back and implement those there.
21:06I'm recommending that Miami do that on a smaller scale because you're going to be looking at organizations, communities closer to your size.
21:14Next, the second section of this three-pillar plan is business retention expansion.
21:25And that's taking care of the businesses that you already have.
21:29We're recommending that you design and create a robust BR&E program that provides assistance support for existing business employers.
21:39In my opinion, an economic development world, even though we're out recruiting new companies in new industry and we're recording entrepreneurs,
21:46taking care of those businesses that are already here, that are already employing people that are already making a payroll as most important work we do.
21:54And we're asking Mades to get heavily involved in surveying those companies to know what's going on with them, to meet with them on a regular basis.
22:06We're asking them to form an executive roundtable of plant managers that get together on a regular basis and compare problems and compare issues and challenges.
22:16And what can happen a lot of times is this can create a identified crisis before it becomes a crisis, so there's something the community can do to assist and to help them going forward.
22:30There's a classic example of that close to you here.
22:33And if you're familiar with the ABB operation in Bartelsville, always several hundred people that's in their industrial park, that started as a small company spun off of Philip 66 was purchased by ABB and ABB was going to move it to Houston.
22:48Bartelsville was able to build them a building, at least it back to them, and incentivize rate.
22:53And they stayed there in Bartelsville with about 30 people. Well, today they've had three expansions, several hundred people working there, they're all six figure salaries.
23:03And that's an example of what a good business retention expansion program can do.
23:08We're going to ask Mades to maintain a database of local companies, who the plant manager is, what their product is, what their annual payroll is, what their annual sales are.
23:18What challenges are they having? Is there something that the city can help them do? Is there something the county can help them do? Is there something that the Native American tribes can help them help them with?
23:29The third leg of the of the stool is entrepreneurship, and I don't have to don't have to go very far to get an example on entrepreneurship.
23:44Sam Walden worked for Ben Franklin stores in Newport, Arkansas, and Ben Franklin stores told him that his idea of discount merchandise was not really good to go back to work.
23:56Newport didn't offer him any help, so he moved.
24:00Bentonville, and guess where the headquarters of the world's largest retail company is, and
24:04Bentonville, Arkansas. You can't make a case for that to be there. That headquarters is there
24:09because that company was born there. So we're recommending that you do some things to give every
24:15person in Miami and Ottawa County that has an idea about how to form a company or how to form
24:20business, but to help them do that if it's something that's viable, it's helped them put that together
24:26and maybe that turns into something larger. We're suggesting that Mades do a lot of partnership with
24:32the chamber on this that they host a monthly coffee break for entrepreneurs for people who are working
24:38on starting new companies. We're recommending that the Mades office building offers some shared
24:43office space, maybe for somebody to just starting a company that needs some office space to kind of
24:48kick start that company and get it going. We're recommending that Mades host a pitch contest at least
24:55once a year. I hosted a pitch contest in Hot Springs five years. The first year was kind of rough.
25:03We had about five people present companies and we had five local people that were judges. But as that
25:10real year by year we started having venture capitalists show up and investors show up. We had people from
25:17Dallas coming in standing in the back of a room to see what some of these company ideas were and dropping
25:22some dollars. That's something that grows very, very fast. Mades has a revolving loan fund that is the
25:31mean when I first moved into Oklahoma back in the late 90s, Mark Young was the, Mark Young was the
25:39Shannon Doohan of back then and we were running the revolving loan program and it was the envy of every economic
25:46development organization in the state. My understanding is that over the years that revolving loan
25:52fund has been responsible for creating some 2,000 jobs. We're recommending that you market that
25:57program, that you help a grow in any way that you can because that's very important to businesses that
26:02they're here, whether they're primary businesses or retail businesses. Game changers,
26:11game changers are things that are difficult to do, expensive, sometimes not politically popular,
26:19but they're things that completely can turn the community in a way and we've identified some of those
26:26and some of those are going to recognize because some of those ideas came from you. The first one we're
26:32recommending is that chamber put together public policy committee that they form political action committee
26:39and they begin to become engaged not an individual politics, not in personal politics, but in issue politics.
26:46Identifying those issues that impact businesses, that impact employers and taking stands on those
26:54and being sure that the elected officials, you all state representatives, state centers.
27:00on after the governor's office and maybe even on federal level, understand that we're in the business of creating business and creating new jobs.
27:10And we need to be sure that we're supporting those issues that help that happen in our community.
27:16The next thing that we're recommending is the GRDA relationship, the flooding in Tyler Avenue,
27:23and it's been a lot of time with you, but I spent some time with Beau and the city staff and the city, I think, has done a remarkable job in getting some female grants and doing some other things to raise some streets and doing some things.
27:36And I kind of refer to it. I'll do respect, a pot of patching kind of to address that thing.
27:42You've got a FERC ruling that we've copied into this report, and we're just basically recommending that you keep working on that relationship.
27:51And it's interesting that we have public policy and the flooding and GRDA relationship close together because those are going to kind of go hand in hand.
27:59And the chamber being a private entity and private nonprofit organization can help with kind of the politics of that.
28:07And maybe helping our political leadership at the state federal level become a little bit more responsive.
28:14Tribal Relationships are very important. When I was doing economic development for the Tulsa Chamber, we had five chiefs on our border directors of 20 people.
28:23And it was very important. It was very impressive to you, investors, and they bring a ton of resources to the table.
28:30In addition to the resources they already have, they have connections with resources, the Bureau Indian Affairs and other organizations in Washington that can be very helpful.
28:40Do your effort going forward, so we're recommending that you continue to enhance and develop that relationship going forward.
28:48Housing. We're recommending that the city engage in a housing study.
28:55I'm not looking for business myself. I don't do housing studies, but I'm recommending that you do a housing study to find out.
29:01Number one, if there is a shortage. Number two, what the shortage is.
29:05Number three is the shortage. Big house of small houses, middle houses, where do they need to be?
29:11This study can tell you all of these things. The things that you see happening in downtown Tulsa right now today are the result of a housing study that we did in 2009.
29:24That said, that if you built off the apartments in downtown Tulsa, that the people that are in there late teens to mid-30s would move to downtown Tulsa.
29:34And you're seeing that happen right now. That was a result of a housing study.
29:38Your housing study probably needs to be fashioned a little bit different, which you need to find a housing study to find out how that works.
29:46Then we're recommending that you look into doing a tax increment finance district.
29:52And you all don't have two hours tonight, so I'm not going to explain what a tax increment financing district is, but it's a method of taking public funds.
30:00and paying for infrastructure on a housing development,
30:04which adds to the profit for the developer,
30:07and it makes the housing development more attractive for the developer.
30:11I said that real fast, I hope that made sense to everybody.
30:14But we did one of those in Bartelsville for 110 houses,
30:17four kind of co-philips, employees, workwork very, very well,
30:21and I can give you some leads to go through that.
30:25The next one is funding.
30:27If you ask me one of the most successful economic development programs in Oklahoma,
30:33I'm probably going to say, Enid, Pancasiti, Duncan, Bartelsville,
30:39just to name a few, and they all have something in common.
30:43They have a fraction of a sales tax dedicated economic development.
30:48Sales tax collected by the city.
30:51It's governed by a city appointed economic development commission,
30:56but the funds are used by the companion organization,
31:01to my which will be made to do economic development to fund the program.
31:06We're recommending that you investigate the potential and the possibility of doing that type of funding.
31:13Other game-changers product.
31:16If you have land and you have the building and you have the way to get to it,
31:19and you have the people that work, you just become very interesting
31:23to site location consultants, to developers, to companies that want a location in the Midwest,
31:29to companies that want to be on the turnpike, to companies that want to be between
31:33Joplin and Tulsa, to companies that want to be between Oklahoma City and St. Louis,
31:38you become very attractive to those.
31:40But you've got to have a land, put them on, you've got to have buildings to put them in,
31:43so it's very important that you pursue that effort that's putting that product together.
31:49The last one, and certainly not least, is place-making.
31:56Quality of life.
31:58If you're going to have a workforce to work at those companies that you're going to be recruiting in here,
32:02you have to be working on things like streets, housing, schools,
32:08you have to do things that increases the quality of life and the community.
32:12This was something that a lot of our focus groups, a lot of public forms,
32:16told us that they were very concerned with.
32:19One of the big things that's going on across the country now is biking and hiking.
32:24Trails, bike lanes up and down streets, so people are,
32:29especially that younger generation, the companies that are wanting to recruit to work.
32:34That's the fastest growing thing with them.
32:37This is my last slide.
32:41No applause.
32:44This is, these things are difficult today.
32:47It's different.
32:48It's things you've never done before.
32:50As I said, I've done some 40 of these in the last five years,
32:54and the ones that have been very successful with it are the ones that open that book.
33:00And the pages are dog-eared, and there's notes written on them, and it's a working document.
33:05The mayor has a copy, the member of the Council's have a copy.
33:08Your state of representatives have a copy, leadership, and the community have a copy.
33:13Your plant managers know what's going on.
33:16There are various assignments made throughout this plan for each one of those folks.
33:21And the way to be successful at it is to work the plan.
33:24It needs to be a working document, and it needs to be a changing document.
33:28It would be delighted to try to respond to any questions you may have or I'll turn it back over to you, Janet.
33:40Thank you.
33:45So, just to kind of recap some things real quickly, because I know you want to move on.
33:49Everybody will go home before the storms hit, I'm sure.
33:53The thing I found most interesting about Jim's plan is that there was a good mix of things that were already
33:59we're talking about, and this just kind of confirms that we were on the right track with that thought process.
34:06Some of these things were actually already working on, are already accomplished.
34:12And then thirdly, it gave us some ideas and things that we weren't doing that we need to do to step up our efforts here.
34:20Not just in my Emma, but in Ottawa County as a whole.
34:24The main thing I encourage you now, so Jim's going to give a presentation to borrow the official public rollout of the plan.
34:30That's at 530, and it's going to be in the ballroom here at the Civic Center.
34:34We shared it on our page, the the mage page on Facebook, if you would be so kind, just to go and share that with your contacts.
34:42We want to get as many people there as we can, so that we can give them an idea of what's in this plan.
34:47Here are their questions, answer their questions, but more importantly, hopefully give people a chance that when they hear something in this plan, that it's really important to them,
34:59that they may want to sign up and come on board and be a part of the team.
35:03Because I'm not going to be able to do all of it by myself.
35:06The chamber's going to help, but Cindy can't do it all by herself either.
35:10The city's going to be a partner in this, but Blair, Mayor Bless Parker can't do everything by himself.
35:15The council can't do it all.
35:17You can't do it all by yourself. We have to work together.
35:20And we need involvement from key people in the community. We need business leaders.
35:25We need tribal leaders. We need citizens who just care about our community and want it to be successful to be a part of the process.
35:32So encourage everyone you know to come out tomorrow for the public roll out at 530.
35:38Get involved, ask questions, sign up to be a part of some of these tasks.
35:43Because everything that Jim's outlining here, we're going to sign different committees or groups to drive those projects home.
35:51We'll oversee it. We're working on a committee now that's going to kind of be the oversight committee for all of these.
35:58For all of these, it's going to be a part of the committee.
36:00going to hold all of those sub-drugs accountable.
36:04We're going to provide some now-one when I come and make presentations to the City Council.
36:08The first thing I'm going to do is update you on where we are on the plan.
36:13That's going to be step number one.
36:14Then we'll talk about other things and we'll do the same thing when we speak in front of any
36:18other organization.
36:21Thank you for your time.
36:22If you have any questions, Jim and I would love to answer them, but we appreciate the opportunity
36:26to be here tonight.
36:27We look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow and if you have any questions by
36:31all means, if you don't get the chance to ask them tonight, please ask those questions
36:34tomorrow.
36:35Thank you very much.
36:36Hi, I'm 7.
36:43Budget amendment number 24-12 increased carryover for $5,065.46 to the police department
36:50fund and moved $3,161 on 17 cents to spend if needed.
36:56You can spend the $550 or can they training credit from fiscal year 2223 increased carryover
37:03by $6,780.4 cents for the drug forfeiture fund to actual and move the revised total
37:10money.
37:11It's available $81,633.4 cents to the proper expense accounts.
37:17Move the home department of libraries, the adult online high school grant money is of $3,248.4
37:24cents for number 300 grant donations fund to number one general fund for grant staff support.
37:33Half was for fiscal year 23, 223 and another half for 23, 24.
37:38There's a lot there.
37:40You can do this very well.
37:43What this does is two funds, it makes their carryover actual, because during the budget, I estimate
37:48what the carryover is.
37:49Well, this brings these particular funds to actual carryover.
37:53I worked with high tower and his assistive Jera on that.
37:57And the third thing is adult online high school, high school grant that the library has.
38:05A portion of that goes towards salaries, so we're moving that from the grant donation fund, which
38:11has been 300 and we're moving it to the general fund, which is.
38:14Motion to approve.
38:24Second.
38:27All right.
38:31All right.
38:32Member and member and member of understanding with the Ottawa County Fair Board for use.
38:38The Fairgrounds show bonds for fiscal year 24, 25.
38:43That's it.
38:44Good.
38:46Great.
38:47The MOU's will be this every year.
38:50The first one is the MOU between us, the city and the county firm.
38:57Nothing changed.
39:07Motion to approve.
39:14Hi.
39:16Hi.
39:17Number nine.
39:18Memorand and the better standing for the outstanding farmers market for 20, 24.
39:27This one here is an MOU between City and the Auto County farmers market.
39:32This one did have a change in it from last year.
39:35This one has the addition of the Auto County farmers market.
39:39We will be paying the electric utilities.
39:46They do not have a change in the RFP.
39:51This is because we added the poor farm and half ton of them.
39:54Yes.
39:56At least one of those will read that.
39:59They will order the farm and half ton of them.
40:03Much has been approved.
40:11Second.
40:13Can you stand?
40:17Can you stand?
40:18Can you stand?
40:23Hi.

40:38And again, this is between City and Schneiders.
40:45Our work show.
40:46I talked to him.
40:53I talked to Lexington.
40:54He's got.
40:55He's just not too late to increase this.
41:00I'm thinking about outside.
41:03Outside help.
41:04He says that every year.
41:05Yeah.
41:06He increases every year.
41:08But last year.

41:54Who's the accounts for a room in the afternoon?
41:56I'll show you now.
41:57Second.
41:58Okay.
42:00All right, well governing charter between the city of Miami,
42:05co-opelination and the Ottawa County E911 governing authority for the Ottawa County
42:11Emergency Communication Center.
42:13This is the government document that covers the,
42:16basically in the U with us, the co-opelination and the 911 board,
42:23or running the dispatch center.
42:28The staffs have sponsored those for all parties and guidelines and the staffs today at
42:33the organization, because all of the spews,
42:36uh,
42:36uh,
42:37Ben Loring, uh,
42:39drafted this.
42:40He represents city in the 911 board and, uh,
42:43well, I was agreed to have them, uh,
42:46drafted.
42:47We've all worked on it together,
42:49and then come up with this government,
42:50the governor of charter.
42:51Mr. Duper.
42:57Uh,
42:59question.
43:02Bends it on trust land.
43:06Can I just want this contract up eventually?
43:09That is the, uh,
43:1164,000 dollar question.
43:12Thank you.
43:13The answer is yes,
43:14they could have tried to define this,
43:19so that the pressures, uh,
43:24the sentiments of the community would keep that in happen.
43:28But, uh,
43:29there is another fallback on that is the way this entire system is being designed.
43:35We could take some of the
43:39mobile computers that we have.
43:49I know we spend a lot of money on this,
43:51but it's still at the same time.
43:53I feel like that this is a scary situation.
43:57And I've said that all along.
43:59I understand that sentiment and it,
44:02it is, but we have, uh,
44:04you know, the interest of public safety,
44:05this is the entire county.
44:08And I don't see that happening at all.
44:13We've had a really good partnership,
44:14but we're going to have a really good board of the group.
44:17And, uh,
44:18I would surprise me if anything like that.
44:24Chief, it's, it's happened in days just all apart.
44:26All parties there.
44:27I mean,
44:28and then they take, they take,
44:31they get out.
44:33They've been in jail for all of our party, so.
44:41We're without the adequate size.
44:44I think you can operate what we need.
44:48Basically, the tribe is providing the facility,
44:55providing the better part of the...
44:57Good.
44:58And software is the vacation.
45:01and worst-lying new voids.
45:03That point was where that board was.
45:05Yes.
45:06So that doesn't change what our responsibility in this area is.
45:14Yeah, great to have you here tonight.
45:16There's a possibility of a tornado threat, let me think there's a possibility.
45:20We have the entire communication for auto-canning downstairs on the soft-cell at its time.
45:27We've been marinated down the tornado of shelter at all.
45:32So the opportunity to put that in a secure shelter so we can better maintain communications
45:39for the entire county public safety is just a huge benefit, a move out there.
45:44Well, I definitely get it.
45:46I think it has been a bit to some point, but I also think it's a scary situation for us because
45:53we have spent a lot of money.
45:56We've been on trust land, I think that we could eventually get screwed.
46:09There is a possibility right now a trust mark.
46:11I get it.
46:12I'm going to risk it to clean up all of these green-to-end vehicles, this is a lie blind to police and fire.
46:33And if we don't have a place right here, do we?
46:37I mean, we can, of course, but is it going to work properly?
46:43I mean, the system is how it's glitched there, for instance, it's been called, but again,
46:47it's how it would.
46:48You guys test that kind of stuff on regular basis for doing table pops and what if scenarios?
46:54I mean, you guys do that kind of stuff anyway, right?
46:56I'm just the first part of that.
46:59So we were talking about, we were talking about the backup system plan B if this goes south
47:04for some reason.
47:06And his concern is would that do we know if it work?
47:10Part of this facility, we're putting on redundant facility downstairs, so we'll still
47:14have the capability to dispatch emergency downstairs.
47:18There's always a backup available.
47:21And the remote capabilities of the new CAD software will actually be tested.
47:27And everything's going to be tested before we move.
47:29So yes.
47:30And I'm talking about, like, on an annual or every other year.
47:34Yes, we do have a territory.
47:35Okay.
47:36That's what I was at.
47:38So if that building got to be in my nuclear war end, we can move back back here.
47:45The ELC downstairs is still, we'll be set up with dispatch capabilities.
47:49And it's been saying that the CAD software, the new program that the port bought, the number
47:55of the board, is totally cloud-based, so they can log in for about...
48:00anywhere and start.
48:02All second motion.
48:20No.
48:21I.
48:2513.
48:26There's an nomination.
48:29Three of point.
48:30Ray van's using.
48:33He's the amount of public library board.
48:35Turned it's fire five five.
48:37The point.
48:38Motion.
48:39Okay.
48:41All right.
48:4314.
48:44There's an.
48:4514.
48:46There's an.
48:4714.
48:49There's an.
48:50There's an.
48:51There.
48:52Those.
48:53Well.
48:54All.
48:55Turned it's.
49:01Job.
49:02Five.
49:03sixteen.
49:04Fifteen.
49:12Fifteen.
49:18Fifteen.
49:19Eighteen.
49:20zeron.
49:30Fifteen.
49:31Fifteen.
49:33Fifteen.
49:35Fifteen.
49:36Fifteen.
49:37Fifteen.
49:38Fifteen.
49:39So far we collected two men, 90,000, so we had the name to collect 6,700, 7,000, 6,000, 6,000, 6,000, 6,000, 6,000, 6,000, 6,000, 8,000, so we should collect in 12.28 months.
49:51And that has been it on the weather, so my hope is, you know, as the summer reaches, the temperatures reach higher, that we should be able to collect faster on that.
50:01So we've been at this for 21 months, so I think we've been going to find that staff jail and we've been really creating this time together.
50:14So, just kidding, I don't know, it's on average utility bills and we get asked by it.
50:19So, my team, this may be continued.
50:25We've got a chamber to redevelop the staff room, the purpose of the big executive session.

I call it over the writer's government in the city council from Monday April 1st, 2024. Two proclamation declaring April, 2024 is autism awareness. They accept it tomorrow. Motion to approve. Second. Hi. Eastern. Williams. Hi. Hi. And nobody's here for that, right? Three. Three. Input. Let's get a personal picture as we have one. I'm just going to weigh you brown. Hey, Parker. Thanks for having me in council. Just wanted to come here in person and offer that the important family stands ready to assist and do the fund, the purchase of the surplus piece of property, which affects our property on the lower land. We would propose that we would put up the funding city, we would purchase it from the city, basically the sign of the council. However, then everyone can work out the agreements. Best to get the full kind of fit in the site design, traffic circulation and everything else. We've worked about eight years getting about 2016 to get this point. We've won two lawsuits against ODOT, which helped force the issue to make the property declared as surplus. The blue shaded part on the survey is what the state took from us in 1956. The orange is the right away. It was really part of the blue as well. Going north of the created 69A, the yellow is what they just recently took from us, which is about the same size as the parcel that they've offered to the city. We think that it was offered in air to the city, but we want to work with y'all to the bedroom of the city to create sales tax revenue for the people here in Miami. And we think that that site really needs that front footage to maximize the value. And so we're here to stand ready to fund it, to work with the city on anything to do with utilities with. signage for the betterment of the city and the maximization of the revenue for the city. So that's why I came in tonight, would appreciate doing this on the all schedule. I know we've got 45 days from the day to the letter from the T.A. to the city. Execute that and I'm sure they're amenable to working with y'all and we're certainly amenable to working with y'all to facilitate it and get this development. I don't know if you're interested in any questions anybody has or a section that's really designed for that. I'll be here in town, if y'all need, we were in putter. We've got lots of data that I could share with you, but you really want to get this property. Starting work generates revenue for the city. Thank you so much for being here. For calling us. Want to approve? T.A. Hi. Hi. Five. minutes from the March. A level. Twenty-twent-two. A special meeting. March. Twenty-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent. Twenty-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent-twent. I'm just kidding. He's sad. Hi. Hi. Hi. Six presentation discussion. The Mime Area Economic Development Services Incorporated Action Plan for Economic Development, Mr. Shandu Han, and Mr. Jim Brown. And hello, it's here too. I don't really care how much she's part of that team. She drives that team. Let's be clear. Mayor, thank you. It's always in the great opportunity to come before the council and speak to you. Especially when we get to talk about something that's important to all of us and that's economic development. As you remember, back at the end of last year, the Mime Industrial Development, the Mime Area Economic Development Service, contracted with Mr. Fram and his company, Community Growth Strategies to develop an economic development action plan for Mime and Ottawa County. Mr. Fram has been working hard, conducting numerous interviews in person, zoom interviews, task force meetings, and he even held a public forum here at the Civic Center. To gather information for the development of this plan, that data is what is led to the creation of this plan. And so what I want to stress to you before I introduce Jim is, we need to make sure that just because the Mime Area Economic Development Service, the Mime Area Economic Development Service, in the creation of this plan, which was driven entirely to give credit where credit is due by our chairperson, Ms. Heather Lillard, because I don't know that we would have gotten to this point, I don't know we would have gotten this far without her leadership, but she really helped drive this project and as a result Mr. Fram is put together, I think, a strong plan. He's going to hit some of the highlights of that tonight, but remember this, it's our plan, it belongs to all of us and it's only going to be a successful based on the amount of effort that we're all willing to put into it. We're not here to take credit, we're not here to make it any one believe for one second that this belongs entirely to Mades. We all share in this plan and we hope that you'll join us because without it this plan cannot be successful. So with that being said, please join me in welcoming Mr. Jim Fram from Community Growth Strategies. Thank you, Shannon. May I remember the council? Citizens of Miami. We've been working on th
