Council Report:
There have been many letters and comments in the paper regarding people helping park board. Last Tuesday, Mr. Griffith came to me and said that Jamaica Run had stated the mayor had been there on park board business and that the park board moving their outing somewhere else raised concerns.
Mrs. Branson also indicated that complaints about Mrs. Thompson have been going around about attending the Park Board Meetings, she may attend those meetings but she does not have voting powers, she is a hard worker in promoting these programs. Mrs. Branson stated she was tired of all the blogging and nasty comments, don’t care what the Mayor has to say.
Mrs. Branson stated that Mrs. Thompson is in Texas for the NLC conference, she is on many boards representing the city, she does not ask for any reimbursements. Mrs. Branson stated that maybe we should show how much reimbursement is given to each Council member. No one seems to ask about your traveling for the City . Council should also approve a member going to the meetings. Each time a council member attends a meeting they should come back and make a report. Mrs. Branson indicated that a Travel Policy needs to be put in place. Mrs. Branson stated we are elected by the citizens of Carlisle and we should answer to the people.
Mrs. Branson stated an ongoing Issue is the Indian Path – Mayor, you started this project, citizens are concern if these people have background checks done, the city is not responsible for these people and they are not on our payroll. The school does announce to the students to use the Indian Path each day.
Amended: Mrs. Branson stated that “I saw you (Mayor) participate at a Golf Outing with my own eyes.” Mayor Humphries stated he did not know Mr. Kidwell and has not physically been to Jamaica Run in 7 years. Mayor stated he does not attend the Park Board Golf Outing. Mr. Griffith does not have the correct information.
Mrs. Branson commented on taking staff time to research personnel issues that the Mayor was present at the meetings and had voted on.
Mr. Bowles stated that the campaign was very shaky and a lot of people were upset. The new people coming on council need to be more visual.
Mr. Lickliter stated that Council has more important things to worry about than jay walking and kids smoking. The smoking should be a concern of the parents.
Mayor’s Report:
Mayor Humphries would like Dan Casson to check the traffic light out closest to the Marathon Station, green light is out.
Mayor welcomed the new council members attending this evening and stated he can’t wait till January 1, 2009
Mayor stated the Indians have won their first football playoff round and will be playing this weekend in Monroe against Alter.
Manager’s Report:
Mrs. Callahan stated she wanted to thank Congressman Turner and Senators Voinovich and Brown, Gov. Strickland and the Warren County ED Dept. Representatives for meeting with three of Carlisle’s Businesses as part of the Business Outreach Program. They have responded back to the businesses regarding their questions. Mrs. Callahan has continued to meet and greet and, have visited five more companies which makes a total of 37 so far.
Mrs. Callahan stated she wanted to” Thank” Mr. Tom Lagos, the owner of Carlisle Crossing Apt., for allowing the Fire Chief Wyatt to hold a skill assessment training for our volunteers on his property. Chief Wyatt had 15 volunteers train and the ones who did not show were either sick or at work. Chief Wyatt is hoping to hold future trainings and will have a live fire training in a neighboring community.
Mayor Humphries inquired about the pool at Carlisle Crossing Apts.
Mrs. Callahan stated that Mr. Lagos and the City had developed a phased plan for improvements at the apartments over a year ago, included in the plan was the pool. Mr. Lagos decided to close the pool and has been filling it in. Another part of the final phase of this project has been to repair or remove balconies. Mr. Lagos has been a big contributor to the community; he has given money, time and effort along with becoming a water customer.
Committee Report:
Mr. Lickliter stated the Finance Committee met last Wednesday to review the 2010 budget. The Ordinance is on for the first reading this evening. There are purchases out of the General Fund to cover capitol expenses for 2009 instead of waiting till 2010. The Finance Committee recommends to Council to approve the 2010 Budget.
New Business:
Mrs. Callahan stated the Planning Commission has been discussing for several months reviewing the Comprehensive Plan of 1981. Planning Commission recommends to Council the need to update the Comprehensive Plan . If and when there is approval, Mrs. Callahan stated she will start sending out formal RFP to begin the process. This update will take a year to complete. This is a tool for planning what our city will look like in 5,10,20 years. Our ordinances and zoning code works hand in hand with the Comprehensive Plan. There are ordinances that will change when the Comprehensive Plan is put into place. Mrs. Callahan stated the proposed update is included in the budget and there will be three readings of the budget, emergency language has been added so that we can waive the 30 days after the third reading and have the budget in effect by the end of the year.
AN ORDINANCE TO MAKE APPROPRIATIONS FOR CURRENT EXPENSES AND OTHER EXPENDITURES FOR THE CITY OF CARLISLE, DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2010, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission
937.223.6323, Extension 246
Subject: Public Meeting to be Held Regarding Amending the Region’s Long Range Transportation Plan in Anticipation of Receiving Passenger Rail Funding
Dayton, OH - The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) will hold a Public Participation Meeting regarding the proposed amendment to the Region’s Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) in anticipation of receiving passenger rail funding (3C + D Corridor)
The meeting will be held as follows:
Wednesday, December 16, 2009
Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission
One S. Main Street
Suite 260
Downtown Dayton, OH
4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
The Ohio Rail Development Commission (ORDC) and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), in consultation with statewide transportation stakeholders have, for a number of years, been working on a master plan to implement passenger rail service in Ohio. This Ohio Hub Plan identifies a series of prospective transportation corridors for providing passenger rail service throughout Ohio.
The project planning process towards reintroducing passenger rail service in the 3C + D corridor (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati + Dayton) has progressed to where it is time to coordinate amending the project into Ohio’s MPO Long Range Transportation Plans located within the 3C + D corridor service area (including MVRPC). The Plan amendment effort includes a financial strategy and a new transportation conformity determination (air quality analysis).
Ohio’s “Quick Start” Passenger Rail Plan, known as the 3C + D Corridor, will connect Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Dayton with modern, conventional speed (up to 79 MPH) passenger trains, in the state’s most densely-populated travel corridor, which last had passenger rail service in 1971. It also is part of the corridor for future high speed rail (up to 110 MPH) under development by Ohio and its neighboring states. With funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Ohio’s 3C + D “Quick Start” plan would have initial conventional-speed service running by 2011, putting another travel choice in reach of more than 60% of Ohio’s population and is expected to carry 478,000 riders in the first year.
If you are unable to attend, information is also available for public review on MVRPC’s web site at www.mvrpc.org .
The public can also review the information at the MVRPC offices, One Dayton Center, One S. Main Street, Suite 260, Dayton, OH, 45402, during regular business hours (8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday).
At all MVRPC public participation meetings, interpreters for hearing impaired individuals or bi-lingual interpreters are available upon request. Requests should be made at least one week prior to the meeting date. Contact MVRPC at (937) 223-6323 or 1-800-750-0750 TTY/TDD to request an interpreter.
The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission strives to foster collaboration among communities, stakeholders and residents to advance regional transportation priorities. MVRPC is a forum and resource where these regional partners can identify priorities, develop public policy and implement collaborative strategies to improve the quality of life and economic vitality throughout the Miami Valley. MVRPC performs various regional planning activities, including air quality, water quality, transportation, land use, research and GIS. As the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), MVRPC is responsible for transportation planning in Greene, Miami and Montgomery Counties and parts of northern Warren County.

Changes: Fences, Walls and Hedges
(a)Change the height of the fence from seven feet to six feet two inches.
(f) There shall be no more than one fence between adjacent property owners nor adjacent to the adjoining property lines. (At this time we do not allow, and this is creating problems between homeowners.

The post of a privacy fence shall face the interior of the property

(At this time the schools does have these, but there is nothing on the books that allows them to be replace there fences, this will allow them to be legal.)
Mr. Richardson stated he felt the 24inch rule should be in place, he felt you are denying a property owner the right to place the type of fence they want (if this rule stays), if they should want something totally different.

Mr. Wallace presented to the Planning Commission an ordinance on Fences, Walls and Hedges. Mr. Wallace presented the original ordinance as is today along with the changes that he would like to see changed.
Changes: Fences, Walls and Hedges
(a)Change the height of the fence from seven feet to six feet two inches.
(f) There shall be no more than one fence between adjacent property owners nor adjacent to the adjoining property lines. (At this time we do not allow, and this is creating problems between homeowners.
(g) No fence shall be erected unless it contains at least one access gate
(h) It is the sole responsibility of the applicant applying for a fence permit to determine the property line (will need to provide property measurements)
(I) In addition to the other provisions of this code, privacy fences shall be subject to the following restrictions:
The post of a privacy fence shall face the interior of the property
(j) A patio fence may be up to eight feet in height but must meet all yard requirements (not for privacy fences along property lines)
Privacy fences, once erected, shall be maintained and repaired of similar materials.
(k) Fences, Surrounding Recreational Facilities. Fences surrounding recreational facilities, including but not limited to tennis courts, swimming pools, etc., located on a commonly owned lot in any district, shall be permitted up to ten (10) feet in height. (At this time the schools does have these, but there is nothing on the books that allows them to be replace there fences, this will allow them to be legal.)
Mr. Richardson stated he felt the 24inch rule should be in place, he felt you are denying a property owner the right to place the type of fence they want (if this rule stays), if they should want something totally different. Property owner is responsible for maintaining the mowing of the extra space.
Mr. Wallace stated he would make that change.
Change: Private Swimming Pools
1st change: No private swimming pool containing water more than 24 inches in depth.
2nd change: The fence or wall shall not be less than six feet in height and shall include a lockable/self-closing gate, be maintained in good condition with a gate and lock.
3rd change: The glare from lights used illuminating the swimming pool area shall be directed away from adjacent properties.
4th change: Swimming pools existing at the time of adoption of this chapter which are unprotected by a wall or fence, including gates or doors, as regulated herein, shall be required to comply with the provisions of this chapter within 90 days of adoption.
