and a half on the Strategic plan it is
something that lives kind of rentree in
our heads as we talk about what we're
doing in in the city um we have been
working on it together also as a council
talking about things that we think are
important for the city to address and
focus on but of course we need to hear
from you and so we are so glad that you

I want to acknowledge that somebody has
come and you you printed out the
strategy yourself and brought it I saw
that that's that's awesome
congratulations I love that um so
beckley's strategic plan I want to talk
a little bit about uh what it is why we
do it and uh what we're talking about in
our update so the city Charter calls for
uh the mayor to craft and Council to
adopt a strategic plan um the first one
was was uh was passed by Council in 2003
under mayor Dave Madison um at the time
it was it sort of a description of the
city's departments and some of their
functions and what they were kind of
doing next and then um the next one was
in 2009 under mayor Brennan and then the
one after that was the 2013 strategic
plan which is still our current
strategic Plan and there's a copy of it
out in the lobby um and in fact copy of
several other plans um but the 2013
strategic plan had a slew of
recommendations um and you can see on
page 11 of the of the booklet that was
circulated around the current draft
update where we track not just the 2013
strategic plan but also the other uh
plans that have have been um enacted uh
before that and since that we continue
to work on um with some of those
objectives what has been completed what
is still been worked on any that have
been on hold and um some that are no
longer applicable due to CH changing
circumstances our 2023 strategic plan
began in Earnest five years ago uh
2018 uh we first started to uh work on
that update and it was uh it was it was
stalled by the the co EP epidemic in
2020 but we continued on um working uh
slowly and Gathering Community feedback
we had a survey through uh online
through the blast and then we had a
survey that Capital University helped us
with um in order to get feedback um
we've been workshopping this with city
council and um circulated it uh several
times this year through our
Communications Network and then here we
are today talking about the draft after
Council had a had a review excuse me
review of the draft a couple months
ago so the um the way that we're
structuring this plan is a little bit
different than we have in the past it's
actually quite a bit different and that
is it looks it looks like uh it's a sort
of a cataloging of active plan and
efforts that exist today kind of like a
Canon of plans or what we're calling
component plans of our strategic plan
and it reaffirms that these plans are
relevant we're still working on them
they are still high priority plans um
and then it also talks about what's
going to come next that will also be
component plans of our strategic PL so
the on the the plans that are listed on
the left in the white lettering um those
are plans that continue to be active
today that we're still working on and
they address a series of uh components
in the community our land use strategy
which is a development strategy our zero
waste plan which is a a sustainability
strategy that deals with as you would
imagine the waste stream of the city our
Southwest Bexley framework talks about
the interaction between Capital
University and uh surrounding
residential neighborhoods and Commercial
neighborhoods the Commonwealth Park
master plan our bike friendly Bexley
plan our diversity Equity inclusion
strategy and our joint Livingston Avenue
plan so those plans are those were
massive efforts on in and of themselves
the copies of those are in the table out
in the foyer and they continue to be
active plans that we seek to uh enact
and then we have three plans that are
currently actively under development one
of them is the climate action or
sustainability plan we haven't decided
yet if it's a climate action or a
sustainability plan and Rachel's been
working on that here in the front row um
our land use strategy refresh and our
Jeffrey Park uh master plan it's listed
as strategy here it's has a longer title
than that but we'll we'll stick with
that and then this plan calls for
specifically four other plans to come
down the pike that doesn't mean that
there won't be other strategic efforts
going on it just says that as of today
where we sit right now we are
anticipating and timelining four other
planning processes in the coming years
one is a public art and placemaking plan
Main Street commercial design guide
design guidelines update so those were
last updated in
20032 roughly about 20 years ago
Recreation and park strategic PL so
we'll have had a commonwealth and a
Jeffrey but those are places they're not
the overarching function of our
recreation department and they don't
encapsulate a whole Parks strategy and
then our Holtzman landfill Redevelopment
plan and the Holzman landfill uh is the
uh is the technically appropriate name
for the landfill that uh previously uh
sat or continues to to sit underneath
fale and
Mayfield So that is a really core piece
of this that these plans themselves are
incorporated into the Strategic plan and
in order to really understand our
strategic plan you need to understand
those
plans on the wall we're gonna break out
here in a little bit but on the wall um
here I'm kind of Left Behind Eric and
Sheila uh we have pages from our
strategy where we outline those plans
and we talk about where we are in the in
the pipeline with them in terms of what
has been accomplished so far and then
the rest of the Strategic plan functions
really kind of to infill what is missing
from those plans that I just referenced
so we have goals related to Community
Health and Wellness development
infrastructure Jedi Public Safety goals
Recreation goals and sustainability
goals and those spreads from the draft
strategy are also up in the wall and
we'll be work shopping those as well
tonight so I'm going to go over these on
a very high level very quickly um we're
g to have a moment after that to ask
some questions have some dialogue and
then I want to capture people's thoughts
uh we're going a post exercise so you'll
be given a pad of Post-it notes and
you'll be given the opportunity to
comment on objective CR objectives that
we talk about right now and then also
what do you think is missing is there is
there something that hasn't captured um
in this in this strategic plan and I
want to note it's very possible that for
example when we went through this with
Council uh under
goals there were some infrastructure
goals that the council brought up that
were indeed in other plans that we'd
already Incorporated so they they might
not be explicitly on the wall because
they've already been encapsulated uh in
that instance in the joint Livingston
Avenue plan so Community Health and
connection um we would like to craft an
Institute of Community Mental Health and
Social Services support model it's been
something we've been working on actually
for the past year or two um in order to
provide uh wraparound Support Services
to Residents and visitors in the city
who are struggling um where you know
ping necessarily the best strategy our
code enforcement is not the best
strategy we have a lot of uh we have a
lot of situations where financial
distress or um mental illness can really
play into the ways that we're
interacting with members of the public
we already spoke about a public art and
placemaking plan uh the strategy calls
for us to create one um what that would
look like is uh kind of talking about
how can we bring public art to the city
in a really effective and Powerful way
with assistance of group of expert
residents but also a consultant who kind
of knows how to to bring that aspect to
the city in ways that we don't um
platform neutral Communications just
talks about how um so much of our
communication today happens online a lot
of it happens on social media um we have
a lot of residents who aren't online we
have a lot of residents who are online
but they don't use social media for
either by choice or uh
because of an aversion to it whatever um
so platform neutral Communications just
talks about aspiration to make sure that
as we communicate with our community our
Communications are are reaching every
every aspect of our community not just
those who are on some of those platforms
U creating a a more comprehensive and
consistent voler volunteer coordination
uh model um and then our development
goals assisting with development of
opportunity sites we have a lot of sites
in Brian Drew is here from the Chamber
of Commerce so he knows this well uh if
you walk down Main Street and you say
well why is that site not developed
there's usually a very deep story behind
it um and so just continuing to focus on
how do we help move the needle on
underutilized sites and martial
districts um and try to encourage uh
responsible um and exciting development
we talked about remediating and
redeveloping Remer of the Holman
landfill some of that work has already
been done at the Schneider Park
extension to the South expanding public
off street parking for Main Street
supporting the Redevelopment of the Main
Street gateways both both on the east
side and the West Side um expanding
housing options so that uh we're
offering housing to a wider spectrum of
empty nesters young professionals but
also understanding that Bexley in our
history has never been affordable uh to
Residents than it is today um
development on North Cassidy Avenue
Community Development on North Cassidy
Avenue is really exciting continued to
slowly progress we want to continue to
nurture that um North Cassidy
Corridor recruiting high demand
commercial uses uh to Bexley uh again
not to call you out again Brian but uh
Brian I talk a lot about like what is it
that people want Brian what is it that
people want number one thing
is Mexican restaurants and breakfast
restaurants that is what we hear the
most about um refreshing our land use
strategy which a lot of these have
overlap with what will come with the new
uh land use strategy um refreshing our
Main Street commercial design guidelines
we spoke about bringing up to date with
our joint Livingston Avenue plan that
was adopted last year um historic
preservation ordinance and protections
uh Connie Lewis is up here at the front
she's worked uh with me in the past that
was another effort that got sidelined by
the covid epidemic um but it's an effort
to have more comprehensive controls on
historic preservation specifically in
our commercial districts which do not
currently have protections and pursuing
a trail Town designation that has to do
with our commercial core and how it
interacts with our uh bike path
especially Alm Creek bike trail our
infrastructure goals are to continuously
update our aging
infrastructure increasing our sewer
capacity and repairing broken water
lines to improve our storm water
regulation um that has to do with how
are we handling uh new hard surfaces
that we create in the city whether it's
through the addition onto a house or new
parking lots or new buildings and making
sure that that storm water is and just
becoming even more of a surge to our
infrastructure and to alen
Creek uh pursuing pedestrian and cyclist
focused
infrastructure continuing to enhance
infrastructure beautification throughout
the community Susan quinten is here in
the audience she's the chair of our tree
and public gardens commission uh Mary
mcmun Sheila stra we've got three tree
and public gardens commission members
here so I know that's something very
important to
them facilitating quality public
transport ation options and
infrastructure uh we know that link us
is something that's being talked about
right now uh we know that um there is an
increasing need as as our region
densifies to have quality
Transportation um completing our Enfield
sidewalk and curb program this is a
program that is very uh important to me
it's our desire to make sure that areas
of the city that don't have sidewalks
today have sidewalks tomorrow so we're
bringing sidewalks Every Time We Touch a
street that doesn't have a sidewalk
we're trying to bring a sidewalk or a
curb to that street um there have been
some instances where that hasn't been
possible due to either rideway or very
large mature trees in the way so but by
and large we're trying to do that and um
completing our joint Livingston Avenue
plan projects earlier this year uh the
city was awarded um federal funds along
with Columbus as joint applicant um to
actually put in place the infrastructure
for the joint Liv n plan it's a federal
project that means it's a five to sevene
time Horizon uh so be patient uh but
it's $18 million Grant so it means a lot
to our community and it will be
transformative to Livingston
Avenue we have a a Justice Edan
diversion plan and that's also on the
table in the back but on top of that we
have some additional um items that we
added to this strategic update um
continuing our mayor's court uh programs
that have really made a big difference
to those who have come through mayor's
court and we've um we've been able to
speak to Mayor courts throughout the
city or sorry the state um on on what
we've been doing and and trying to
advocate for similar
reforms um ensuring Equitable and
diverse hiring and procurement
outcomes we already talked about
supporting and encouraging affordable
housing
opportunities I want to say there's a
movement to talk about to to wipe the
word affordable off that and uh talk
about attainable or Workforce I think
affordable is a really important word um
and I I want us to embrace it it's
important to understand affordable is is
a little bit relative right absolutely
relative but not to shy away from the
fact that we are en encouraging and
embracing the concept of of
affordability um and events and
resources that truly welcome new
residents not just events and resources
that are for us but that are also for
our neighboring
communities cross in order to do that we
would be cross advertising those events
to surrounding communities um which
we've already started But continuing to
expand that and developing and
supporting staff and community educ
around Jedi issues and probably the most
important piece to all this is enabling
the one beex project um which that is
well underway um I think we're going to
be announcing a one Bexley coordinator
here pretty soon which is exciting um so
look for that
soon Public Safety goals Equitable
policing is incredibly important to us
and we'll continue to work on that um
focusing on relationships between police
and businesses we've launched a project
tailight program um it's up and running
but we need to do better job of making
sure that it's uh it's reaching
everybody uh creating a committee L on
officer position we've done that that
was on here uh and some of the things
that we've drafted into here uh have
already have already moved forward
including our Bob detection canine um
passage of a youth interaction policy
but in general positive engagement with
youth we talk specifically about some
ways that we're hope to encourage that
um broadening our police leadership
enhancing our technology and
infrastructure prioritizing Wellness
programs and mental health some of that
ties into what I was speaking with
before about social services
coordination modernizing our Emergency
Management program refreshing our
recruitment strategies obtaining Kalia
accreditation which I would be happy to
talk to you about later it's a long
story um and enhancing our overall
Communications effort as they pertain to
policing you've noticed probably on
these slides that there's every single
one of these has a butat weight there's
more so it's pointing people to there
are plans as part of that overall all
those component plans that also have
objectives um that pertain to the areas
that we're talking
about we're almost we're almost done
with the broad overview just so you know
um Recreation goals um comple in our
2023 year of the parks projects so if a
project was started in 2023 it's a year
of the parks project some of those are
going to carry over through 2024
especially the bridge at Aster turns out
building a bridge is a pretty
complicated Endeavor takes some time um
increasing our recreational field and
facility opportunities prioritizing
active spaces for our Our Youth and and
our uh senior citizen populations
creating a permanent Senior Center
that's been a really incredibly popular
and positive program that we're excited
to
support um continuing to monitor
Recreation Center opportunities we hear
it every time we talk about uh planning
that there's a desire for beex to have a
recreation center um Crea a strategic
plan for the rec department a master
plan for Jeffrey Park modernizing our
park rules and our rboard code
continuing to develop the Arboretum
features within our Parks um and pretty
soon you'll be able to walk through one
of those uh new expansions on
Commonwealth West um and we're looking
to build a four-season shelter house at
Jeffrey Park uh to support our summer
camp program and also our residents
yearr round for sustainability we have a
whole lot of action in the
sustainability uh Arena um we are
working current on a climate action or
sustainability plan we want to support
clean energy through aggregation and
on-site solar we did just recently as
you know aggregate um with wind energy
um but we're looking to continue to make
on-site solar easy for residents and to
bring it to um especially black top
asphalt surface areas where uh you know
carports could perhaps have solar
continuing our City's EV Fleet
transition supporting EV infrastructure
in underserved areas um it's it's it's
typically quite difficult for apartment
tenants to have EVS today and so we're
going to help facilitate that a small
engine phase out we know that small
engines um two-stroke engines are vastly
contributing to greenhouse gas emissions
um updating our building codes for green
infrastructure continuing to implement
our zero waste plan working on building
efficiency standards and decarbonization
and continuing to explore residential
property assessed clean energy which is
a way to help um make clean energy
affordable uh to Residents throughout
the
city so wow that is hold on I don't want
that um so those are the bullet point
objectives and there's more text to all
those as you're looking through those
packets um and at this point I'll take
some questions and make a little bit of
group conversation and then and then
it's a lot easier for us to capture your
comments if we do that uh posted note
exercise that I talked about so after a
little bit of questions and answers
we'll go around and I'm sure that as you
sit here there's something you're
thinking man he didn't talk about X Y or
Z so help help us fill in the blanks
this is a great time to do it so any
questions
yes that's a great question so how does
it overlay with our city budget we we
use our strategic plan to prioritize our
budget so anytime we have like
discretionary Capital spending or um
we're looking at what are our priorities
our strategic plan helps steer that it
doesn't like we're not ex there's no
plans to expand our tax footprint for
example or our borrowing but it does
help us prioritize through our budget
process
yeah
well that's a great question um so let
me let me give you an example let's
let's go through that exercise with our
last strategic plan let's talk about
um you know infrastructure creating a
street infrastructure plan we did we're
still working on it but that does that
is what prioritizes our street
expenditure and we work within the
confines of of a levy that we have for
that um creating a water and sewer
infrastructure plan uh we we did that
and we're working on that creating a
streetlight infrastructure plan
we have not yet updated our street light
infrastructure plan um although we did
do an alley light infrastructure plan so
that wasn't listed but it's one that we
worked on catting signage design
standards and maintenance uh we have
done some of that but we haven't done a
universal sign design standard so those
sorts of objectives many of these are
not really they don't cost to C anything
it has a lot to do with how are we
spending our time what are we focused on
and then at the end of the day you know
I can speak at least for my
Administration for the next four years
this isn't something where we're looking
to rationalize additional tax dollars
this is something where we're working
within our footprint to try to figure
out how do we best prioritize uh the
actions that we're taking yes
Eric
yep
yeah so that's a great question the
question I'm repeating questions just
because we're also streaming this so the
question was a rec center and um you
know Capital has a rec center and JCC
has a Rec Center just over the border
and um in fact we worked a few years
back we worked on what we were calling a
virtual Rec Center where we were going
to have a pass that got people into all
of these different spaces csgs pool um
for our sort of like decentralized Rec
Center I think the key the key that we
know is that partnership is incredibly
important and we have this institutional
wealth within the city in terms of all
these facilities that we do have some
access to I think that might be a big
piece of the puzzle traditionally cities
our size can't afford a rec center it's
just a lot to put on the taxpayers so um
I think we will have to be creative as
we pursue that and I think we're gonna
have to you know kind of to the point of
the previous question we have to be
opportunistic and just think differently
about that sort of
opportunity yes Mary
Susan
yeah yeah so the question is what do we
do when we we find it's not going to
work or it's a little you know maybe
it's too challenging or it's not the
right time it's aspirational so the
small engine phas out how do we do that
you know for right now we actually have
a model ordinance that is in the draft
phase to encourage commercial
electrification of landscape equipment
by giving access to expanded work hours
you know um there are models where um
cities or states have have banned the
use of small engines after a certain
point we don't really feel like that's
right for us right now but like it's one
of those things where we know it's an
objective and so how do we get there
over time you work with Council you
figure out what are the right carrot and
stick methods to to follow and and you
hope to get there over time um it maybe
that when this is updated in the future
um that stays on you know because it
hasn't been accomplished yet and that's
okay I mean there's a lot here uh many
of you know I some of you sit in this
room have advocated for some of these
things for years like we know the I'll
pick on Susan because I know you can
handle it the Main Street design
guidelines we've talking about that with
increasing urgency for several years now
and I've had to say look we have three
active planning processes right now we
need to take things in order and not
bite off more than we can choose so some
of it has to do with uh bandwidth both
of the administration and the community
and of course Financial bandwidth can
sometimes play into it as
well
yes red oh yeah this one
yep of what you put forward tonight what
do you feel like is low absolutely be
agreeing which of these feel more like
moonshot or there's kind of like
resource barriers where like community
members can really support moving most
forward if
they're I would kind of have to like
think about that a little bit and and
walk through it bullet point by bullet
point to answer it easily um I think
what is true is you see a lot of yellows
those are in progress there are so many
of these that are going to continue to
be Ono you know the development of
opportunity sites on Main Street that's
never going to to stop being a priority
and the thing that is true is that we
need to always be more creative about
how we're doing it right some of them
however like um I know something that's
really important to use our public art
placemaking plan I was speaking about
that earlier to me that's a very
definite plan it's going to probably
happen next calendar year we have the
budget for it it's like you know it's
it's so some of these that seem very
locked in or very achievable and others
are more aspirational long term and I
would have to honestly sit down with you
to go through them that through that
lens
yes a tree ponderance is that you
said it wasn't that
funny
yes
you're 100%
right okay no in fact uh it's one of
those that time I open this I'm like oh
we didn't you know I just today I added
like one or two paragraphs of things I
was like we're working on this it's out
there we just didn't capture it in this
document
yet
yeah
yeah and to achieve them as we've been
talking about will require both
investment but also uh regulation like
how do we ensure that you know we have
adequate replacement and and that sort
of
thing
any other questions before we break out
yes
Don
adist people said that
they yep I council meeting a year and a
half or two years ago not
one
yeah so that's a great call out our
current police chief has not focused as
much on those um and I'll bring that
back and and see if that's something
that needs to go back on there
yep any other
questions Mary and
Rachel
MH so
um uh right I think that the question is
um are we going to see more Improvement
outside of our borders and what's our
role I think is kind of what you're
saying in that um in that particular
example there's a a special improvement
district on Main Street that although
it's outside of jurisdiction we support
financially to try to help bolster the
area that's an example of something that
we're doing today but I think that our
land use strategy one of the one of the
key pillars that we're looking at in our
update is those Partnerships and
connections with adjacent areas you know
we we met recently with the owner of um
middle west Spirits that's building that
um Distillery at uh Allen Creek Drive if
you've seen that facility it's really
amazing what he's doing there um there's
a lot of investment going in there and
how can we support that you know we've
talked that's part of our joint living
Avenue plan how do we help influence
areas outside of our borders so I think
that is an incredibly important piece of
it both from a um a part of it has to do
with increasing the quality of life for
our residents but also has to do with
like bringing back together neighbors
neighborhoods that have been separated
over time for a variety of reasons
whether it's by infrastructure by
economics um so I think that's important
and I think the land you strategy is
going to directly address
that
yes
yep
yeah uh to be honest we've our focus
with um with social service and mental
health has really been focused on the
adult population with the schools
focused more on the student population
but it's a a great question um and um
for a little bit more background on that
we we had an RFP out earlier this year
to try to seek partnership from an
organization that provides those
services
in central Ohio they are all so
overburdened um that it's an like we're
not getting any traction right now with
it so um we do have time to think more
about how can we you know adapt that
more and it's something I'll certainly
think more about maybe talk more with
you about in Pursuit yeah yes
Don
yeah
yeah so the question is uh any
conversation about R reducing debt and
it's um relative to the uh reduction in
the rec transfer which um we we've been
quite successful out over the years um
we do we are reducing our debt every
year um pretty sub substantially a lot
of our general fund debt is going to be
gone in the next five years um we
haven't accured new debt
since I think the last issuance of new
debt was in 2009 of new just sort of
debt that didn't have a discrete new
income associated with it so um most of
those issues are 20 years old so by the
by the end of this decade we will be
much much much lighter on debt and we
are every year so we're retiring debt
every year and uh consistently doing
that yeah
yep it's all right regards
to
yeah so the so the question uh was are
we seeing an increase in tax receipts
with the changes in the workforce work
from home sort of phenomenon we we have
seen an increase so we we saw a covid
bump um last year our our increase was
normal it wasn't anything different but
it already back in you know the
2020 I'm sorry last year being this year
our 2023 receipts uh 2022 2021 both were
years where we saw a lot of growth in
our income tax receipts um and what
we've done with that is we have paid
down debt and we have been acre
additional infrastructure reserves um we
don't know that that's going to stay you
know there's a whole lot of movement in
the workplace uh we are continuing to
see those work from home receip seats we
think that there's two vulnerabilities
one is that the state house um is
consistently talking about changing tax
policy so we really don't know what that
looks like and then the other one is
that you know all employeers are
increasingly getting weary of work from
home environments especially in central
Ohio and I say especially like you know
it's not Silicon Valley so I think that
um we probably expect a little bit more
normalization down the
road yeah that my crystal ball though is
not like 100% so
other questions okay so what we're G oh
yes
yeah that's a a great idea and sorry the
the question was about Community
Foundation and Upstream funding and
mentioning and and how about even like
even talking a little more explicitly
about that partnership in general would
be would be a good thing to include I
would

think right so collaborative goal
setting I mean the year of the parks is
an example of that degree although I
think initially it was started as more
trees and sort of morphed into more
Parks but it's good it's more trees and
more
[Laughter]
Parks I like
that okay so at this point what we're
going to do is there are Post-it notes
over here there are pens and pencils um
as you've already seen the slide so as
you go through here and you see like
okay Recreation goal that's missing you
know maybe Eric you have a Nuance that
you want to add go ahead and write it in
we'll capture it I'll be around to talk
Brian jury is our Chamber of Commerce
chair I've asked him to also Pitch hit
on any questions that you might have uh
pertaining to development or really
anything Brian's pretty much knows it
all as well um yeah you
do um Susan quintens is the chair of our
tree commission I'm sure she'd be glad
to answer tree related questions uh
Rachel Cohen is on our esac um so we can
talk sustainability so um or Talk
Amongst yourselves uh and as as you put
those up I just want you to know they
will be captured um as it makes sense
and we're able to add things We'll add
them or modify them or delete them um
and it's really going to help us
finalize uh this strategy the next step
after tonight is we're going to have a
um we're also gon to have an online kind
of component of this where this will be
uh linked to as well as the draft and
then ask people through an online survey
for more feedback and then Council will
be um introducing a uh resolution to
adopt the Strategic plan here maybe
actually by the end of December I think
um so that the current Council that's in
place has the opportunity to vote on it
because they've worked on it a lot so
that's what it looks like um take as
long as you want spend as much time here
as you want and then if you're like I'm
done it was great seeing you all have a
great evening thank
you
