TWO REASONS I'M SPEAKING TODAY. TO CINCINNATI HAVING A LOCAL ADVOCATE ADVOCATE GROUP WITH THE NATIONAL YOUTH RIGHTS ASSOCIATION TO LOWERING VOTING AGE TO 16. SECOND IS AN OHIO BILL HOUSE JOINT

RESOLUTION 8 WHICH WAS INTRODUCED BY TWO STATE REPRESENTATIVES, SHAWN BRENNON AND CHRIS GLANCE BURN OF 1514 AND 15 RESPECTFULLY. I'M SPEAKING ON LOWERING VOTING AGE TO 16 AND DEMOCRACY AND RECOGNIZED

FIGURE IN THE MOVEMENT. I BELIEVE LOWERING THE VOTING AGE TO 16 WOULD IMPROVE NICK AND NOT A LOCAL BILLY ENCOURAGE WAS TO UP LIFT AND SUPPORT LOCAL EFFORTS LIKE THOSE WITH NAIRA, CINCINNATI WHO WANT

TO MAKE DEMOCRACY AND THE CITY A BETTER PLACE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND WORK AND CONSIDERATION AND THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO COMMENT. >> Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU. STAN FORKED POOLE, STAND

STANFORD POOLE, WELCOME. >> WELL WE'RE BACK HERE AGAIN. PEOPLE DONE VOTED FOR THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE UP HERE THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING THE CITIZENS HAVE A BETTER LIFE, BUT YOU ARE NOT DOING THAT.

MONDAY WAS A HOLIDAY, COLUMBUS DAY. AND A GROUP OF PEOPLE WENT TO A LADY'S HOUSE ON GILBERT AND FOR HER HOUSE DOWN ON COLUMBUS DAY. NOW, MAYOR, WE CAME TO YOU AND ASKED YOU FOR HELP TO STOP TEARING

DOWN BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE'S HOUSES. AND YOU DID KNOWING. WE TALKED TO MS. KEARNEY CERTAIN, SHE DID KNOWING, SCOTTY JOHNSON DID KNOWING, MEEKA OWENS DID KNOWING, AND THE REST OF YOU DID KNOWING. AND

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU HATE BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE TO TAKE THEIR PROPERTY. YOU ARE CON STANDLY PUTTING UP RULES TO TAKE PROPERTY FROM BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE, WITH NUISANCE AND BLIGHT. YOU CAN'T USE A

WHITE WOMAN TO DO IT LIKE THEY DID IN BLACK WALL STREET. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR SELF TAKING A PAYCHECK EVERY TWO WEEKS AND BENEFITS AND NOT DO YOUR JOB. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING IT FOR

EVERYBODY, NOT JUST GIVING OUT $4 MILLIONS TO THE PORT AUTHORITY, $4 MILLIONS DOWN THE RIVER AND $2 MILLION FOR A BUNCH RICH PEOPLE TO SIT AND MAKEUP SCHEMES TO FILL THEIR POCKETS UP AND GET THE

AIRPORT FOR NOTHING. SO, I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING, ALL OF YOU, ANNA ALBI IS NOT DOING ANYTHING, MAYOR, YOU NEED TO BE SOMETHING BETTER THAN WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW. YOU ARE A

GOOD LOOKING GUY, YOU COULD BE A MODEL BUT A CITY COUNCIL MAYOR, YOU ARE NOT DOING IT. SO WE ARE TIRED OF THIS. WE WANT SOMEBODY THAT WORKS FOR US, NOT JUST THE RICH GUY. ARE YOU DOING THE SAME THING

THAT TRUMP IS DOING. THEY FOR THAT LADY'S HOUSE DONE AND SHE WAS CRYING, ON A HOLIDAY. YOU SEND WHITE MEN DOWN THERE TO TEAR HER HOUSE DONE. >> Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU, ALLEYS SMITH, WELCOME. >>

MAYOR, COUNCIL, I WAS HERE LAST WEEK AND I PRESENTED SOME INFORMATION CONCERNING CMHA. I MENTIONED ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED OVER IN EVANSTON AND HOW THEY HAVE BEEN SHOVING OFF AND HAVING REPEATED

RESEARCH ON LEASES AND THAT. AND IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ONCE A YEAR. I GAVE SOME PICK TUESDAY TO VICE MAYOR KEARNEY AND ALSO I HAD THE CLERK MAKE COPIES OF THE SIN SYNOPSIS OF MY VA CASE MANAGER. I'M

HONORINGABLY DISCHARGED VETERAN 45 YEARS AGO. I HAVE SEEN WHAT PUBLIC SAFETY ACADEMY HAS NOT DONE AND I KNOW THEY HAVE DIFFERENT DISBURSEMENTS AND APPROPRIATIONS FOR MONEY FOR DIFFERENT THINGS. WE

HAVE SCAFFOLDING UNDER OUR WALK INTO OUR LOBBY THAT HAS BEEN FALLING, HAS BEEN FALLING SINCE FEBRUARY. THEY HAD A DIRECTOR THAT SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED, ALL THEY DO IS HAVE SCAFFOLDING

SUPPORTING IT. IF IT FALLS IT IS GOING TO PULL THE FRONT OF THE FACADE OF THE BUILDING. I'M ASKING ESPECIALLY THE COUNCIL MEMBERS OF COLOR, DO REMEMBER THOSE OF US A LOT OF US ARE IN SUBSIDIZED

HOUSING, HAVE SEEN WHERE A MAN WAS IN OUR BUILDING WAS THREATENED BY A FORMER PROPERTY MANAGER, CMHA DID THE RIGMAROLE WITH THROWING DIFFERENT LAWYERS AND CONTINUANCES AFTER 6 AND A HALF YEARS THEY

HAD HIS CASE DISMISSED. THESE NOT DUE PROCESS. I SEEN AN ELDERLY MAN WHO WHAT IS DIABETIC AND THAT PEOPLE BROUGHT HIM AND COUNT TAKE HIM IN THE APARTMENTMENT BECAUSE OF THE DEAD FECES AND BED BUGS AND

STUFF ON HIS FLOORS. >> Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GREGORY STEWARD STEWART, WELCOME. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M ON BEHALF OF EVANSTON COMMUNITY COUNCIL WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE CITY COUNCIL

POSTPONE THE VOTE ON THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE REGARDING TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO ALLOW FOR DISCUSSION AND INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. OUR CURRENT TIF FUND IS OVER $2.7 MILLION, A 15% REDUCTION

WOULD LEAVE OUR COMMUNITY WITH SIGNIFICANTLY LESS RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION. ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH THE CITY TO OFFER $206,000 IN TIF FUNDS

TO JOHNSON COOPER COMPANY. WE NEED ASSURANCE THAT THESE COMMITTED FUNDS WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE SO THE PROJECT CAN BE COMPLETED AS PLANNED AND DELIVER A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO OUR COMMUNITY. OUR

NEIGHBORHOOD IS ALSO HOME TO IMPORTANT HISTORICAL PROPERTIES INCLUDING KING RECORDS BUILDING, AND ST. MARK'S WHICH IS CURRENTLY FACING OKS FOLLOWING A FAILED INVESTMENT. PRESERVATION OF THESE TIF

FUNDS COULD PROVIDE IMPORTANT RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THESE HISTORICAL ASSETS AND OTHER COMMUNITY RENOVATION PROJECTS. GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS AND EXISTING COMMITMENTS WE BELIEVE IT

IS CRITICAL TO POSTPONE THE VOTE TO HAVE ADEQUATE TIME FOR MEANINGFUL DISCUSSION, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AND CLARIFICATION REGARDING THE PROTECTION OF PREVIOUS COMMITTED FUNDS. THIS LETTER IS SIGNED BY

THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL JAMES STALLWORTH AND NATASHA SMITH. THANK YOU. >> Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU, DR. >> I'M DV WITH THE COMMUNITY SO I'M REPRESENTING THE GLUTE YOUTH COUNCIL AND I JUST WANTED

TO BRIEFLY ADDRESS THEM THE IMPORTANCE OF TRANSPARENCY AND COMMUNICATION WHEN COMES TO THE TIF DOLLARS IN AVONDALE AND WE KNOW THAT THE COMMUNITY IS GROWING AND WE KNOW THE DEVELOPMENT IS GROWING AND

WE WANT TO JUST SHARE THE IMPORTANCE FROM THE RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS LIKE MY SELF HOW ARE WE INFORMED ABOUT THESE FUNDS AND HOW ARE THEY BEING ALLOCATED AND SPENT. AND JUST SEEKING BETTER

COMMUNICATION AND MORE TRANSPARENCY IN HAVING A SEAT AT THE TABLE WHEN IT COMES TO DECISION MAKING FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. AND JUST TO MENTION THAT WE SUPPORT THE PROGRESS IN THE DEVELOPMENT BUT WE ALSO

BELIEVE THAT DEVELOPMENT SHOULD HAPPEN IN AVONDALE, WITH AVONDALE AND NOT JUST HAPPENING AROUND US AND WE DON'T HAVE A SAY. SO, THAT'S ALL I REALLY WANTED TO MENTION THAT I WANTED TO SEEK MORE

TRANSPARENCY IN THAT THE COMMUNICATION BEING MORE SHARP WHEN IT COMES TO THE TIF FUNDS AND THE DOLLARS IN OUR COMMUNITY. >> Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU. SANDRA JONES MITCHELL. WELCOME. THE PARKING PASS

FROM YOU GUIDES TOO IF I KEEP COMING DOWN HERE, I'M TELLING YOU. YOU YOU KNOW I THINK YOU GUYS KNOW WE WANT TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THIS WORKS AND HOW OUR COMMUNITY CAN CONTINUE TO

DEVELOP. I THINK FOR THE MOST PART JUST TO BE TOTEABLE WITH YOU AND TALK ABOUT HOW WE CAN BEST SERVE OUR COMMUNITY. I'M CONFUSED A LITTLE BIT. I HAVE HAD MARKIEA CARTER COME TO THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL

ON MANY TIMES ON TALK ABOUT THE TIF DOLLARS. I WISH AT THIS MOMENT THAT BILL WAS STILL ALIVE SO HE COULD GIVE US SOME DIRECTION OF HOW TO BEST UNDERSTAND HOW TO DEVELOP OUR COMMUNITY. I KNOW WE HAVE

SOME LEADERS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND I KNOW ARE YOU STRONG LEADERS AND WE HAVE THE UP MOST RESPECT FOR YOU. HOWEVER WE NEED A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF JUST HOW THIS WORKS AND SOME UNDERSTANDING, SOME

CULTURE, SOME TRAINING MAYBE FOR THE COUNCIL. I KNOW YOUR INVEST IN NEIGHBORHOODS TRIED DO THEIR BEST IN KEEPING US INFORMED I THINK WE END UP TELLING THEM ABOUT THIS. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT

OUR RELATIONSHIP AND OUR COMMUNICATION LINE IS STRONGER THAN WHAT IT HAS BEEN IN THE LAST COUPLE DAYS. ALL RIGHT? JUST EXEMPT AVONDALE, IF CAN YOU EXEMPT DOWNTOWN AND OVER-THE-RHINE, HELP US DEVELOP

THAT COMMUNITY. I ENVISION A SUPPER CLUB WITH JAZZ AND GOOD FOOD IN AVONDALE. I ALSO SEE A SKY ZONE FOR OUR KIDS SO THEY CAN HAVE A PLACE, A SAFE PLACE TO PLAY. THINK ABOUT HOW WE CAN REINVEST SO OF

OUR OWN MONIES IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY AND COME TOOTH TABLE AND HELP US FIGURE THIS OUT, OKAY? THANK YOU. >> Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU, JENNIFER FOSTER, WELCOME. >> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. LET'S

TALK ABOUT ORDINANCE 301-2020. THE ORDINANCE IN THE TIF FUND SAID FOR TRANSPARENCY. WE DON'T HAVE NONE. I CAME UP WITH A BETTER SOLUTION. I THINK HAVING THAT LIST EVENING SESSION WITH THE EXPERTS THAT

YOU GUYS HAVE AS STAFF AND TEACHING US ABOUT HOW THIS IS INCORPORATED. THE NEXT QUESTION I HAVE, HOW WOULD THIS AFFECT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM? NEXT QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS WILL THE ONES THAT THE

NEIGHBORHOOD THE COMMUNITY THAT EXEMPT FROM TIF FUNDS, WILL THEY BE ABLE TO STILL UTILIZE IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE THIS THING WHERE ADJOINING COMMUNITIES CAN USE TIF FUNDS IF THEY DON'T NEED IT? I THINK WE

NEED TO SIT BACK, PAUSE THIS FOR A LONG TIME. WE HAVE 35 COMMUNITIES THAT IS FULLY NOT AWARE AND I THINK WITH FULL TRANSPARENCY DOING THIS TOGETHER. LET'S HAVE LISTENING SESSIONS, LET'S SAY LET'S

TEACH EVERYONE TO SEE HOW THIS GOES BECAUSE HAVING THIS VOTE WILL LEAD US DOWN A HOLE WITH MORE HOMELESS PEOPLE, WITH MORE WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON. I THINK THAT ONE OF THE KEY THINGS IS HAVING

FULL TRANSPARENCY BECAUSE WHICH ONLY KNOW WHAT WE KNOW. AND YOU HEAR FROM AVONDALE, YOU YOU HEAR FROM ALL A THE OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT YOU ARE TAKING FUNDS FROM COMMUNITY THAT IS HISTORICALLY CAN BE

ELIGIBLE FOR THE TIF FUNDS. NOW THINK ABOUT THAT. YOU YOU HAVEN'T TAKEN AWAY THE FUNDS FOR THE MOST HISTORICAL AREA OF CINCINNATI, THAT'S OVER-THE-RHINE. IF YOU GAVE THEM EXEMPT WHY WE CAN'T GET

EXEMPT. THE SAME HISTORY HAS FOLLOWED MANY OTHER POWERFUL COMMUNITIES. I THINK YOU NEED TO PAUSE THIS, EDUCATE EACH OTHER, WE ALL LEARN TOGETHER AND UNDERSTAND HOW WOULD THIS DEEP DIVE AFFECT? LOOKING

AT THAT FROM IT LENS AND THE LENS OF HOW IT WOULD AFFECT A RESIDENT. HOW WOULD THIS AFFECT A RESIDENT AND LANDLORD, HOW WOULD IT AFFECT DEVELOPERS OF THE AND WE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS A BROADER POINT OF

VIEW. HOW WOULD THIS AFFECT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM? BUYING IN COMMUNITIES TO TEACH US. Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. KENT EVANS, THANK YOU. >> I BRIEFLY WEAR THAT HAT. I COME TO NOW WEARING MY TEAMS

HAT TO MAKE MY MY WOKE DAD SAID HIS LINE ON OUR UP BRINGING TO UNDOTH YOUR HALT WHEN YOU ADDRESS PEOPLE OR ARE MERELY IN DOORS. THIS HE IS WHERE I'M THINKING I MIGHT WIN IT ALL AND I'M PLAYING MY TV

VIEWING AROUND IT, I HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE MY HOUSE THOUGH TO VIEW IT. FOX 19'S CORPORATE PARENTS SEEM A WARD TO CABLE PACKAGE INSTEAD OF ENTERTAINING ORDINARY PEOPLE ON THE STREET WITH A GAME THAT

MAGICALLY IS MAGICAL TO THE INCH. THIS IS CINCINNATI, NOT MY FOR MAN OF THE YEAR CITY AS A ADULT I KNOW THE HISTORY OF THE REDS AND FAN BASE KNOWLEDGE STARCHY CLIPSED. WHY ARE SIMPLE MATTERS LIKE FLAT

TAX RATES NOT UNDERSTOOD BY THE EDUCATED REPRESENTATIVES AS AFFRONT TO WORKING PEOPLE WHOSE ONLY FAULT WAS THERE WASN'T ROOM FOR TUITION, ROOM AND BOARD. THERE I A TAKE YOUR TIME TO GIVE TO ANCILLARY

LIKE OFF THE VERSUS TIMED EVENTS. YOU ACCEPT THIS IN WRITING CITING STATE LAW MAKERS EDICTS AND LIMIT. YOU KNOW OUR CENTURIES PROPER BREAST DEGREES I HAVE TAX CODE. THE CORRECT CODE, OUGHT TO BE

OUR WOULD HAVE HAD THIS IN PLACE AT THE TIME OF OUR REDS FOUNDING. FINALLY IT DOESN'T MAT FER THE REDS WIN OR EACH COMPETE, THE SAME WITH MY TEAM, WHY? IT IS A GREAT GAME WHICH WAS DESIGNED RIGHT FROM

HISTORIED, NOWHERE IN THAT ORDINANCE AT ALL IN SAYING BLACK LED BLACK LED DEVELOPERS YOU KEEP GIVING IT TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND AND NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT FUND, THEY ARE BUDDIES, THEY RAN

OUT OF MONEY THEY NEED MORE MONEY. >> Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU. DUANE SMITH, WELCOME. >> MY NAME IS DUANE SMITH AND I HAVE BEEN A INDEPENDENT DEVELOPER WORKING IN AVONDALE SINCE NOVEMBER 2025. MY

MISSION IS TO ACQUIRE DISTRESSED PROPERTIES AND TRANSFORM THEM INTO SAFE, DECENT AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR THE FORGOTTEN AND UNDERSERVED RESIDENTS OF CINCINNATI. I AS I CONTINUE TO LEARN ABOUT THE

TIF FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES I AM WORKING CLOSELY WITH AVONDALE COMMUNITY COUNCIL TO SEEK SUPPORT AND OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE THIS IMPORTANT WORK. MY GOAL IS TO REVITALIZE DISTRESSED PROPERTIES, CREATE

AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND HELP ENSURE THAT LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES HAVE ACCESS TO QUALITY HOUSING IN THE COMMUNITY THEY CALL HOME. I BELIEVE THAT THIS REVITALIZATION IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS

SHOULD ALSO MEAN INVESTING IN THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THEM. I AM COMMITTED BEING A PART OF THE SOLUTION THAT CREATES LASTING OPPORTUNITIES FOR AVONDALE RESIDENTS AND HELP PRESERVE THE AFFORDABLE

HOUSING THAT THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, CONSIDERING AND OPPORTUNITY. >> Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU. BISHOP JAMES, WELCOME, SIR. >> AS ANY PROUD FATHER WOULD BE, I HAVE BEEN

PEOPLE. >> PASTOR CELL WATKINS. >> I HAVE THREE QUESTIONS, NUMBER ONE QUESTION IS I DIDN'T GET A ANSWER THE LAST TIME, BUT WHAT COMMUNITIES WERE CON DID YOU GET CULTED IN REGARD TO THIS TIF ORDINANCE?

THE SECOND QUESTION IS WHY IS DOWNTOWN EXEMPT. AND THE THIRD QUESTION IS CAN WE HAVE A EXPERT COME TO EVERY COMMUNITY COUNCIL THAT KNOWS HOW TIF DOLLARS WORK HOW TO APPLY FOR THEM AND HOW THEY WORK TO

EVERY COMMUNITY COUNCIL TO EXPLAIN TO EVERY COMMUNITY COUNCIL HOW THE TIF DOLLARS WORK? THOSE ARE THE THREE QUESTIONS I HAVE. >> Mayor Pureval: NEXT IS JONATHAN NORTMAN. WELCOME. >> ON MONDAY IN A

REVOLTING MISUSE OF RESOURCE AS FEDERAL I AM. IS RAID HOME OF CON DEPRESS MONDAY MAN OMAR THAT WASN'T ENOUGH. TRUMP CALLED UPON THE PEOPLE OF MINNEAPOLIS TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST SOMALI IMMIGRANTS

DEMONIZING THE ENTIRE, WHAT RACIST ATTACK IS NOT NEW, CINCINNATI OWES FAIR IT JD ADVANCE AS TOO TOO VILIFY OR A. SPRING NEEDLE THEY I HOPE TAKES A A REPUBLICANS DO NOT WIN HE WILL BE LESS INCLINED TO

HELP OHIO. POLITICAL NORMS AND LAWS DON'T STOP THIS ADMINISTRATION. AT THE DEFY THE FOREIGN DIFFICULT A BILLIONS DOLLARS WEAPONS TO CONTINUE A GENOCIDE. THEY DEFY INTERNATIONAL LAW AND ATRIAL COST

RULES DIDN'T STOPT IT'S FROM DISEASE CONSTRUCTION A SHOOTING OSCAR IN HIGH CAR WITH HIS FIVE YEAR OLD. HE NOW HELD IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT WITH A BULLET IN ANYTHING, SHOOTED LIKE A PAID SHOOTERS

BEFORE HIM AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND OPPORTUNITY EXISTS ALL IT TAXIS ONE PERSON'S WILLINGNESS TO WEAPON EYES IT FOR THE MOST VULNERABLE OF TO US BE TURNED INTO VICTIMS I SPOKE ON THE DRONES WE DEPLOY

TEAR ONE FLEW AND PARKED OVER TOP OF ME. JUST MISUSE OF TECH OF ME BUT IF IT WERE FOLLOWING A IMMIGRANT TO THEIR CAR IT IS MUCH MORE HEINOUS. THIS PAST FRIDAY I CLIFTON MOUSAKA POLICE CREASER ENTERED

THEM SELVES IN THE COMMUNITIES THINK HIPPED BUILD. KEEPS THEM WONDERING ALL DAY EVERY DAY AND WHERE IS SAFE. THEY SHEAFED RECALL GOVERNMENT INCLINED TO HUNT THEM ARE WAITING FOR COUNCIL TO RISE UP AND

HELP THEM. >> I DON'T REMEMBER SPRING, EXECUTIVE DIRECT WITH THE HOMELESS COALITION. I'M GLAD YOU ARE WILLED HOG THE TIF ORDINANCE HEARD IT SAID IN THE MEETING MONDAY THERE WERE NO SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES

TO EXISTING POLICY THAT ISN'T TRUE. AND IT ONLY TAKES READING EXISTING POLICY TO SEE IT IS ISN'T TRUE. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE WE HELPED WRITE BOTH POLICIES. CURRENTLY 25% OF TIF FUNDS HAVE TON SET ASIDE

FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING THE NEW PROPOSED POLICY CHANGES THAT TO 50% SET ASIDE FOR NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT FUNDS OR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. SO TO GO FROM A 25% MUST TO YOU MIGHT GET A PORTION OF 50% IS A

CUT NECESSARY A LOSS. IT CHANGES THE DEFINITION OF AFFORDABLE SO CURRENTLY TIF FUNDS SPENT ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING HAS TO BE AFFORDABLE AT OF 0% OF THE MEDIAN INCOME OR LOWER. THIS WOULD INCREASE IT TO

80%. WHICH NONES A 2 BEDROOM APARTMENT WOULD GO FROM ABOUT $2500 TO $2,000 I MONTH, UNAFFORDABLE. ALSO, WE INCLUDED PROTECTED CLASSES THAT WOULD ENTIRELY BE ELIMINATESSED SAYING YOU COULD NOT

CATEGORICALLY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THESE CLASSES. THAT WOULD ALL GO AWAY. TRANSPARENCY, THE CURRENT POLICY HAS THE CITY PRESENT PROPOSALS, ASK FOR A VOTE OF COMMUNITY COUNCILS AND THAT'S COMMUNICATED

BACK. THIS ELIMINATES ALL OF THAT, ALL OF IT, GONE. AND IT GIVES EXEMPT STATUS TO THE BUSINESS DISTRICT AND OVER-THE-RHINE WHICH ALLOWS 3CDC AND LIKE GROUPS TO OPERATE WITHOUT ANY LOCAL RESTRICTIONS

WHATSOEVER IN THE USE OF TIF FUNDS IN THESE NEIGHBORHOODS AND ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS. SO YES, PAUSE IT AND LET'S HAVE AN EXACT TIME LINE OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET IT DONE AND GET DID RIGHT. >> Mayor

Pureval: MONEY A, WELCOME. MOST IN A, WELCOME. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, I FRIDAY TO FOLLOW A POLICY OF MOVING AT THE PACE OF TRUST. AND FOR ME TO HAVE FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS TIF POLICY CHANGES AT 3:30 ON

FRIDAY THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE PRESENTED ON MONDAY IS NOT MOVING AT THE PACE OF TRUST AND IT ACTUALLYLY MOVES US BACKWARDS. THERE WAS A CHANGE WITH REGARDS TO HOW YOU ALL ARE ENGAGING WITH

NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCILS AND IN TALKING TO NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCILS WITH THE TIF NO ONE KNEW ABOUT THIS. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WANT TO STREAMLINE THINGS. PART OF STREAMLINING IS CLUING EVERYONE FROM THE

ONSET. THE COUNCILS DID NOT KNOW, THE HOLES COALITION DID NOT KNOW. I HAPPENED TO HAVE WORKED IT HOLES COALITION WHEN BOTH OF THOSE POLICIES WERE WRITTEN. SO HERE IT GOES WHERE YOU COULD HAVE HAD

SOMEONE THAT HAD THE CLIFF NOTES FOR BOTH OF NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCILS AND THE HOUSING POLICIES. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT COMMUNITY GROUPS, THAT'S A QUESTION I HAVE, WHICH PARTICULAR COMMUNITY GROUPS WERE

CONTACTED WITH REGARDS TO INPUT ON THIS? THERE NEEDS TO BE A COLLECTIVE ABROAD VOICES, WE ARE HERE TO SERVE OUR CITY. I AM HERE TO SERVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE SHOULD BE WORKING TOGETHER AND THIS IS AN

EXAMPLE OF HOW BREAKING TRUST. I HOPE WE LEARN FROM THIS AND MOVING FORWARD AND IT IS A PART OF STREAMLINING. WE LOOK AT HOW WE SET UP THESE POLICIES AS FAR AS HOW WE'RE DOING ENGAGEMENT.

NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE BEEN WAITING, WE KNOW THERE WERE SOME CHANGES WITHIN DEPARTMENTS AND STRUCTURES. WE'RE STILL WAITING ON THAT INFORMATION. >> Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU. MOVING TO ZOOM, MIKE UHLHORN.

WELCOME. >> CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? >> Mayor Pureval: GO AHEAD. >> THERE WE GO. YES, SO, I'M BACK. I BET YOU CAN GUESS WHY I'M BACK. BECAUSE NOTHING IS HAPPENING THAT I KNOW OF. I KNOW GOVERNMENT WORKS

SLOWLY, THAT'S WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD. BUT I'M BACK AGAIN TO DISCUSS HOW GREATER CINCINNATI WATERWORKS INVOICES PEOPLE WHEN THEY HAVE THE WATER TURNED OFF AT THE METER AND ARE PROVIDING ABSOLUTELY

NOTHING AND ARE THEREFORE IN VIOLATION OF OHIO REVISED CODE 2913. I WAS THINKING EARLIER ABOUT HOW IT WAS INTERESTING HOW WHEN SOMEBODY CAME INTO YOUR CHAMBERS AND WAS BREAKING THE LAW HOW QUICKLY

THAT PERSON WAS ARRESTED. HOWEVER, THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE A PASS THAT ALLOWS GREATER CINCINNATI WATERWORKS TO VIOLATE THE OHIO STATE LAW 2913. CAN YOU NOT COLLECT MONEY FROM PEOPLE FOR PROVIDING

NOTHING OF VALUE WITHOUT NOTIFYING THEM IN ADVANCE AND WITHOUT THEM AGREEING GROWING TO BE PAYING FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF VALUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW ARE YOU GETTING A WAY WITH IT. I THINK IT

WOULD BE AWESOME TO SEE THE POLICE OFFICERS RUSH IN RIGHT NOW AND ARREST ALL OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, BUT I KNOW THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? I DON'T KNOW. NOBODY WILL TALK TO

ME. HAVE I CALLED AND LEFT HUNDREDS OF MESS ACKNOWLEDGES I CALLED ALL OF YOUR NUMBERS. HAVE I SENT E-MAILS, DOZENS AND DOZENS OF E-MAILS AND NOT ONE PERSON RESPONDS. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT

THIS? ANYTHING APPARENTLY NOTHING. I THINK YOU ENJOY ME COMING HERE EVERY WEEK TO EXPOSE THIS AND THAT'S WHY YOU ARE DOING NOTHING, BUT US LIKE SEEING MY FACE OR HEARING MY VOICE, MANY TIMES YOU DON'T

SEE MY FACE BECAUSE I'M NOT AVAILABLE TO BE ON VIDEO. WELL HOPEFULLY SOMETHING WILL BE DONE SOON. PLEASE CONTACT ME OR RESPOND TO MY E-MAILS. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT IS BEING

GONE -- >> Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU SIR, OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS ON ZOOM, AMBER KASSEM. WELCOME. >> CAN YOU CAN YOU HEAR ME? , THANK YOU FOR HOLDING THE VOTE ON THE TIF DOLLARS UNTIL A LAWYER TIME. I'M

REALLY TIRED OF WATCHING RESIDENTS DO THE WORK OF ENGAGEMENT WHILE CITY HALL TREATS RESIDENT PARTICIPATION AS A CHOICE. YOU'RE ELIMINATING AND DEVALUING RESIDENT PARTICIPATION. IT IS DIFFICULT TO ASK

RESIDENTS TO TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT WHEN OUR GOVERNMENT CANNOT EXTEND THE BASIC COURTESY OF A CONVERSATION. YOU KEEP LOWERING THE BAR FOR CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND CITY ENGAGEMENT. YOU EXPECT RESIDENTS TO

LOWER OUR EXPECTATIONS. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ARE YOU BUILDING OUR TRUST, IT MEANS THAT WE'RE BUILDING OUR RECORD AGAINST YOU. COUNCIL REQUESTED THIS ORDINANCE IN JUNE. EAST PRICE HILL RAISED

QUESTIONS IN THE JULY 18 INVEST IN NEIGHBORHOODS MEETING WHEN THIS WAS BROUGHT UP BY A COLLEAGUE, NOT BY THE CONSULTANT WHO YOU PAY. THE COLLEAGUE OF MINE PROBABLY HEARD IT FROM CON LEAN REYNOLDS WHO

I BELIEVE IS STILL A REGISTERED LOBBYIST AND WE THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE SOME TYPE OF ORDINANCE REPORT IN AUGUST, NOT THE NEXT THING TO HAPPEN WOULD BE RANDOM NON NOTIFY INDICATION OF THIS BEING PASSED.

I THANK ANNA ALBI FOR COMMITTING TO OPENING UP THIS TO A CON DUTY IT WITH INVEST IN NEIGHBORHOODS IN CHAMBERS YESTERDAY. I LOOK FORWARD TO HOW CAN YOU HELP FACILITATE THAT. MY LAST QUESTION IS WHEN

THE ADMINISTRATION FAILS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WHY ARE WE BEING THROWN OUT WITH THE BATH WATER? WHY DON'T YOU FIX YOUR FAILURES OF YOUR ADMINISTRATION AND YOUR SPEED, THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON.

LEAVE OUR MONA LOAN UNTIL CAN YOU DEMONSTRATE CAN YOU SPEND YOUR OWN RAILWAY MONEY THAT YOU HAVEN'T EVEN TOUCHED. SO WORK ON YOUR OWN -- >> Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS IN PERSON, AND

DRY YA' CARTER. WELCOME. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, ANDRIA CARTER PRESIDENT OF INVEST IN NEIGHBORHOODS. YOU HEARD FROM ELIZABETH BARTLEY OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THIS MORNING, SO I'M FLOAT GOING TO GO OVER

EVERYTHING SHE SAID. I'M HERE TO SUPPORT HER WHAT SHE SAID TO YOU ALL IN PERSON. AND MAYBELY THE KEY POINTS THAT WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT IS TRANSPARENCY, ABOUT WHO DID YOU SPEAK WITH. THERE ARE 52

NEIGHBORHOODS, 35 OF WHICH HAVE TIF OR HAVE TIFS, WHICH COVER ACROSS 43 NEIGHBORHOODS. THERE ARE ALSO 16 NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAVE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS. SO, WE ASK THAT WHAT DEFINITION OF

COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS DID YOU SPEAK WITH WHEN DEVELOPING THIS ORDINANCE? LIKE I SAID BEFORE, WE SUPPORT EFFICIENCY, WE SUPPORT STREAMLINING THE PROCESS, BUT WE DO QUESTION WHEN IT COMES IN THE

ORDINANCE COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS DOES THAT INCLUDE COMMUNITY COUNCILS? WE ALSO, 2 POINTS, WHETHER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGAGEMENT PROCESS THAT WOULD PRESERVE THE SPECIFIC PRESENTATION AND THE

ROLE IN 2020 ORDINANCE IS THAT PROCESS BEING PROPOSED OR IS THAT BEING REPLACED? AND THEN ALSO HOW THE COMMUNITY COUNCILS COULD PARTICIPATE IN ORIGINATING PROJECTS UNDER THE COMMUNITY DRIVEN PATH AND

THE NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT FUND. AND ALSO ONE OTHER POINT THAT I HAVE A QUESTION OF, REGARDING THE TIF MONEY THAT BEING PLACED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT FUND, DO COMMUNITY COUNCILS STILL GET A

SAY ON WHO GETS WHAT PROJECT OR DO THOSE PEOPLE WHO PROPOSE A PROJECT USING THOSE HAVE TO COME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO GIVE INPUT BECAUSE THEY ARE THE EXPERTS ON THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD? THANK YOU. Mayor

Pureval: THANK YOU. ROCHELLE THOMPSON, WELCOME. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVES. I'M ROCHELLE THOMAS, PRESIDENT OF THE ROSELAWN COMMUNITY COUNCIL. I RECENTLY RETIRED FROM THE CITY OF CINCINNATI AFTER 32

YEARS OF SERVICE. I WAS OVER MANY BIG PROJECTS FOR THE CITY. CITY WEST WAS ONE OF THEM. AND I HAVE DONE MANY OTHER PROJECTS FOR THE CITY EVEN THE BANKS. I WANT TO SAY THIS, ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS THAT

WE ALWAYS DID WAS GET INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY, FROM THOSE THAT WAS GOING TO BE IMPACTED THE MOST BY THE PROJECT. AS COMMUNITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT, I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS UNTIL I GOT A PHONE CALL

FROM SOMEONE 24 MORNING. SO YOU HEARD FROM OTHERS ABOUT BEING TRANSPARENT AND THEN INFORMED. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE PAUSING AND NOT VOTING ON THIS TODAY, BUT I HOPE THAT

YOU DON'T JUST PAUSE BUT THAT YOU LISTEN AND GET INPUT FROM US SO THAT WE CAN BE INCLUSIVE IN THIS CRITICAL PROCESS AS IT DEALS WITH TIF, TAX INCREMENT FINANCING I KNOW ALL ABOUT IT. HERE IT IS WE

NEED FROM COUNCIL CHAMPIONS NOT JUST FOR DOWNTOWN, WE WANT TO KEEP A VIBRANT DOWNTOWN, THAT'S WONDERFUL. BUT WE HIMSELF NEED FROM COUNCILMEMBERS CHAMPION FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS. IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE

SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE OUR CHAMPIONS. AND THAT REALLY DIS CONCERN ACKNOWLEDGES ME DISCOURAGES ME BECAUSE SOME OF YOU KNOW VERY, VERY WELL AND VOTED FOR YOU. MOVING FORWARD ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU DO

NOT MISS THIS CRITICAL STEP AS YOU STREAMLINE THINGS, MAKE GOVERNMENT MORE EFFICIENT. DON'T MISS THE CRITICAL STEP OF INCLUDING REST DENTS AND THOSE THAT'S GOING TO BE IMPACTED THE MOST. WE HAVE JUST

COMPLETED OUR DRAFT OF THE ROSELAWN PLAN OWE HE OWE. >> Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU. JACQUELINE EMERSON, WELCOME. >> THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALLOWING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY. MY NAME IS JACQUELINE EMERSON AND

I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOND HILL COMMUNITY COUNCIL. AND I GOT HERE A LITTLE LATE, SO I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU HAD DECIDED TO PAUSE THE VOTE AND THAT'S WHY I'M HERE. I DO THINK I'M GLAD, I'M GLAD THAT

YOU PAUSED THE VOTE BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND SO YESTERDAY I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TURN ON THE CABLE BROADCASTING FOR YOU YESTERDAY AND SO I WAS ABLE TO ALREADY A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

IT. AND THE THING THAT I REALLY WANT YOU TO DO IF YOU HAVE THE TIME BECAUSE I KNOW YOU ARE VERY BUSY AS I AM. BUT AS I WAS LOOKING AT THE VIDEO I WAS STRUCK BY THE URGENCY THAT SOME OF THE COUNCIL

MEMBERS WANTED TO PUSH THIS ORDINANCE FORWARD. AND I HEARD VICE MAYOR KEARNEY ASK FOR A PAUSE AND SHE SAID SOMETHING THAT I OFTEN HAVE TO DEAL WITHIN BOND HILL WHERE I'M WORKING ON SOMETHING BEHIND

THE SCENES FOR SIX MONTHS AND THEN I TAKE IT TO THE BOND HILL COMMUNITY COUNCIL AND THEY HAVE A A A TRILLION QUESTIONS BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN WITH ME THROUGH THE PROCESS. AND SO SOMETIMES I HAVE TO

TAKE IT ALL THE WAY BACK. AND I THINK THAT YOU, LISTEN THAT LESSON. IF YOU STARTED IN JUNE WE WEREN'T THERE IN JUNE, WE DON'T KNOW THE CONVERSATIONS THAT YOU HAD. YOU HAVEN'T BROAD THAT INFORMATION TO

US. AT THE END OF THE DAY WE MIGHT BE BEHIND YOU A 125% BUT GIVE US THE GRACE TO GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE. THANK YOU. >> Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU, DANNY, WELCOME. >> I APOLOGIZE I'M LATE. SOME OF YOU MOW

I KNOW, SOME I MET BEFORE IN PERSON. ONE OF YOU I USED TO WORK WITH. SO I THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY, RYAN JAMES I WANT TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION WHEN WE WORKED TOGETHER WE WORKED

WITH A CERTAIN POPULATION. WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE BEING PUSHED FOR THE TIF DOLLARS I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT POPULATION. I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT BLESSED WITH THE EDUCATION THAT WE

WERE TO GET TO WHERE WE ARE IN LIFE OR WHERE WE WERE IN LIFE. AS A 40 YEAR OLD YOUNG LADY, MOTHER OF TWO, I MOVED TO AVONDALE WITH MY RENT WAS 845. THANKFULLY MY RENT IS STILL 845. RIGHT NOW MY SAME

BUILDING IS RENTING FOR $2,000 FOR MY SAME APARTMENT. IF I WAS TO MOVE ME AND MY KIDS WOULD BE HOMELESS. I WAS MAKING 22 A HOUR, STILL QUALIFIED FOR CARE SOURCE. FORTY HOUR WEEKS IF NOT MORE WITH A

JOB, WITH GREAT JOB, BENEFITS, I COULDN'T AFFORD THE BENEFITS FOR MY JOB. SO I'M ASKING THAT YOU YOU THINK ABOUT THAT COMMUNITY WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE AT 2:00 P.M. IN THE MIDDLE

OF A WORKDAY. I ASKED THAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE A VOICE OR WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY USE THEIR VOICE TO SPEAK UP IN THESE MEETINGS. AND TO SPEAK UP FOR OUR COMMUNITY

COUNCIL MEETINGS. THERE ARE MANY TIMES I PERSONALLY WENT TO THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL WITH THAT MINDSET OF WORKING WITH OUR POPULATION THAN HAVE I BEEN SHUNNED. MY OPINION HAS NOT BEEN SHOWN THAT IT WAS

IMPORTANT SO I'M ASKING YOU I'M A RESIDENT OF AVONDALE I I LOVE MY COMMUNITY. I LOVE MY COMMUNITY. THERE IS A REASON WHY I CHOSE AVONDALE OVER NORWOOD AS MANY OTHERS. I LOVE MY COMMUNITY. I FEEL AT

HOME THERE. THERE IS A REASON WHY WE ARE HERE AND WHY WE HAVE COME TO THE TABLE TO SPEAK UP FOR THOSE PEOPLE. THANK YOU. Mayor Pureval: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT CONCLUDES THIS PORTION OF OUR CITIZENS

VERY VITAL, VITAL VOICE IN 2001 WHEN THE CITY EXPLODED UNDER RACIAL TENSION. HE WAS THERE ON THE FRONT. I HAD THE AWESOME PRIVILEGE OF ASSISTING HIM AS HIS ASSISTANT IN 2001 MAKING SURE THAT THE CITY
