work session. Council decided a week night would be better.

Managers Report: Mr. Townsend asked
council to be sure and read Doug Harnish report on the
Economic Forecast for the Dayton Region. Good news is that
housing is predicted to be strongest in the southern and
eastern regions. Retail is also predicted to be active along
with healthcare and education with new branches and extensions
to existing facility. Bad news is industrial market;
particularly new industrial development is predicted to lag
far behind.
Mr. Townsend announced that the Law
Director gave his opinion on the 1974 liquor referendum. The
Law Director’s opinion is that this applies to “Hard Liquor”
but beer and wine is permitted by the glass. His opinion on
the prohibition applies everywhere in the City including newly
annexed territory, although there is no specific case law that
supports this. The law Director states if council wanted to
codify these findings in some form to address any future
ambiguity; it could be done, but would be non-binding as
issuance of liquor license is within the control of the State
Board of Liquor Control. Such a measure combined with this
opinion would give future council’s the basis for an
objection, if in the future someone presented an application.
Mr. Townsend asked for direction from council. Mr. Bowles
stated he felt something should be in writing. Council was in
agreement.
Mr. Townsend announced that the Housing
Reinvestment Committee needs to meet. Will Contact the Mayor
and Deputy Mayor on Wednesday to see which day is appropriate
Annual adjustment to the general fee
schedule: these fees are adjusted annually by staff by a
percentage equal to the average of the three previous CPI
Index. The fees are rounded to the nearest dollar. Two
exceptions are the trash and toter fees. Which were adjusted
by council earlier this year? These fees are automatically
adjusted March 1st.
Mr. Townsend stated that Patriot
Machining and the Marketplace and IKO are storing shingles for
a source of income. Representative from IKO indicated that 80%
of the shingles would be gone by April. They have a contract
which is good till March 6th. They have agreed to
store the shingles out of sight. Patriot has a two year lease
and the Market Place has a one year lease. Contract runs out
March 6, OKI runs out in April. Patriot and Atlas/OKI and Mr.
Reagan of the Marketplace would like to have issued a
temporary zoning permit to accommodate this activity on a
seasonal basis. The problem is the zoning they are in
specifies the origin of what they are doing. Council has
agreed to have a meeting with them to discuss the issue of
them doing this on a seasonal matter.
Mr. Townsend requested a Street Committee
meeting to be held before the next council meeting on February
28th, at 5:30PM. The purpose is for Reviewing the
Phase 5 project and the 2006 paving plan. Members of the
board are Mrs. Long, Mrs. Thompson and Mr. Bowles.
