MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Rousmaniere MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Rousmaniere and Members of Council FROM: Doug Elliott, City Manager RE: Friday Letter DATE: November 22, 2019 _________________________________________________________________________ ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING Under the Oxford City Charter newly elected Council members take office on the third Monday after the election (November 25, 2019). The City will be holding an organizational meeting on November 26, 2019 at 7:00 PM at the Courthouse. At this meeting the newly elected Council members will be sworn in. Then, the full Council will go into executive session to determine who will be the next Mayor and Vice Mayor. Council members will also decide which City boards/commissions they wish to serve on. JOINT WORK SESSION A Joint Work Session between Oxford City Council and Miami University Officials was held Monday, November 18, 2019 at 5:30 PM in room 322 of McGuffey Hall. This meeting was a result of a Miami University presentation to the Oxford Leadership Group in May of 2019. Pres. Crawford and Dr. Creamer presented information on several Miami owned properties where public-private partnership opportunities exist. The properties include the Marcum Hotel Conference Center, Millett Hall site, Elm Street building, Miami University Airport, Fryman Farm property on Bonham Road, and the former Talawanda High School site. I requested this meeting so that City Council and staff can learn more about these opportunities, discuss any concerns, and explore ways for the City and Miami University to work together on these potential projects. The City and Miami University have a great working relationship. Both entities recognize that our futures are intertwined. I am looking forward to a productive dialog to further strengthen our working relationship. OXFORD PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY BOARD I attended the first meeting of the Oxford Parking and Transportation Advisory Board which was held on Monday, November 18, 2019. The agenda included election of officers, review of the purpose of the board, discussion of future meetings, and review of supporting plans and documents. 45 EAST BUILDING Building plans for the 45 East Building were presented to the HAPC and given final approval. The plan is for the building to be updated with a business on the first floor and a student apartment on the second floor. The greenhouse addition will be replaced with a same size addition level with the first floor of the main building. FOLLETT’S COOP BOOKSTORE BUILDING The Follett’s property requires environmental remediation which includes the removal of any underground fuel storage tanks and contaminated soil. The site is 110 East High St. and according to Benjy has received designation “..as a BUSTR Class C site. This makes the property eligible for an assessment/cleanup grant.” Benjy had requested that the City assist him in the redevelopment of this property by applying for an Abandoned Gas Station Cleanup Grant. Patriot Engineering (his consultant) is estimating an application of $250,000 for the cleanup. Apparently the grant does not have an application deadline and may be awarded at any time until the state appropriation is spent. According to the published guidelines, each fiscal year $4 million is appropriated. The Guidelines require that the City enter into a “Relevant Agreement” with the organization that owns the Eligible Property”. Chris and I have been finalizing documents to apply for this grant. The City will serve as a pass- through agency to obtain funding to complete the cleanup. City Council adopted a resolution to authorize the City Manager to apply for the grant at the last Council meeting.
