Selected Discussions One year anniversary of being appointed to City Council, come along way and accomplished a lot of great things in 2018, looking forward to accomplishing even more in 2019. In regards to Northland, looking forward to the 161 market study, will give more purpose to the 161 corridor and then Emmanuel Remy, Columbus City Council follow up by working towards a special improvement district. Committees currently serving on (subject to change): Public Service and Transportation - made advancements in getting streets cleared (of snow) and pothole repair (72 hour goal). Administration Environment – a lot of work to do, OSU published the Columbus Climate Adaption Plan. Going to take a look at and immediate needs to work on. Trash – a big piece of what we do, not as much an issue in Northland. QUESTION – Ken Gilbert, asked about recycling machines that he noticed in other areas, it seems to have helped alleviate bottles and cans along the highway. ANSWER – Issue with recycling centers not wanting the individual machines. Landfill issues are mainly related to fabrics, try not to throw away clothing, but donate instead. Over Smart City Working on New American Initiative – Columbus gains on average 50 new residents a day (18,000 a year). QUESTION – How is the city going to pay for all of this? Already short on police. ANSWER – It is a ongoing challenge, we are under staffed and limited on space for training. Budget for 2019 is less than expected, received less tax revenue than expected and the City will more than likely have a bond package brought before the voters. Emmanuel will be on the ballot this year, excited for the opportunity to run. CRPD Mission: We connect the people of our community through the power of nature, wellness, and creativity.
